"I've had Nexplanon for less than a month and I already HATE it!! First off I've had headaches and even migraines since I got it put in (which I NEVER get.) My period has been on for 2 weeks straight right now and my period use to be 4 days long. I've become more grouchy and moody than I've ever been. Literally every little thing irritates me. This is the first time I've ever been on BC and I probably won't go back to it. I'm definitely getting this removed."


"I've been taking phentermine for about 5 weeks and I've lost 13 pounds. It has been great for me. I have lots of energy.I combined walking with the medication the first couple of weeks and that was when I lost the most weight. I see now that you get better results with exercise."


"I have been using sominex for a long time, I asked GP about it and he would rather I take it than prescribing me sleeping tabs, it works well for me, I take it at least an hour before bed, fall asleep easily and can still wake up for the bathroom and go straight back to sleep, feel fine on waking with no after effects, a great over the counter product."


"F, 26, 150 lbs. Was given Prepopik because I had issues keeping down the normal prep. Was given three packets of miralax and the prepotik kit. I didn't have to start until 6pm the before the colonoscopy, so I was able to work the day before - first perk right off the bat. I took the miralax packets, one each morning, the three days leading to my prep. My stool was already soft by the time prep day came, which helped. Got home from work at 5:30 and started. I was going to the bathroom 30 minutes to an hour after. No intense cramps or discomfort, just the urge to run to the bathroom lol. Woke up at 4:30am to finish second half. The Dr performed the colonoscopy later that day with no issues. Love this product, worked great for me!"


"Good for pain due to endometriosis."


"20 years I've been on Paxil from age 31 til now, at 51 (with one year off with Effexor). I had ever panic attacks combined with depression. Its been a great it saved me. About 5 years ago I was tapering off very nicely without side effects. Then six months later I spiralled with another very, very dark depression, with intense anxiety. Wanted to die, but would never intentionally do it. Had to seek a psychiatrist who put me on non-SSRI's. I continued to spiral down. Finally went to another Dr who put me back on Paxil. I was extremely grateful as it got me better very quickly. I don't think I will ever try going off again."


"This is a great alternative to more invasive or daily types of birth controls.  I've had it for almost one year now & have no pregnancy scares (I'm very sexually active).  During the first couple months my period was very light & short, however now I have my period about twice a month for about 8 days each cycle, sometimes with spotting in between (sometimes a full month of bleeding).  I'm more depressed during periods & I get breakouts that aren't terrible, but are still annoying.  I'm hoping in the next 3 months my period stabilizes or I'm going off this BC.

This is a great birth control if you don't mind the risk of possibly wearing panty liners most of the month & like the idea of never having to worry about protection or daily pills"


"I tried nuvaring two times over the past two months, keeping it for 3-6 days. Postives: my skin cleared up, I have bad acne around my jawline and it made it all dissapear. I also appeared to have magically shedded fat from my stomach and love handles. I had a very good mood and felt very calm, which is such a nice change from my naturally crappy, angry mood. Now for the negatives: I can't stand the nuvaring being in me. After it is in a few days, it starts to itch the inside of my vagina. I constantly need to push it far up, and it sits right at the opening when I go to the bathroom, and has to be taken out to go number 2. Also, it made me have sudden intense swelling in my feet, fluid retention. I will try the same progesterone in a pill."


"I was on holiday and prescribed these by the Dr at the walk in centre, after a week, I still have faint burning, still urinating frequently, cold/flu symptoms, headaches ( I rarely suffer with headaches) sharp pains in my stomach, and still feeling sick even after not taking them for 2 days. Back to my own Dr's tomorrow. This drug is horrid!!!!"


"Gave me short, light periods but caused terrible acne, headaches, and decreased sex drive."


"I've been suffering from major depression disorder, PTSD, and anxiety for a while now, I take 225mg of Effexor which is supposed to help with anxiety, in my case it doesn't. It does help with the depression. My anxiety it terrible and leaves me up for almost 3 days at a time. I'm on 0.5mg of klonopin 3 times and day (does not make me tired) so my Dr recently prescribed me quetiapine 100mg at night to sleep and that was way too much, I'd sleep for like 12-13 hours a night , now I take 25mg and it works ok. Only side effect is that if I don't fall asleep fast enough after taking it, it causes restless leg syndrome which is another nightmare in itself. nothing else seems to work so I'll stick with it for now."


"My 14 year old son has been using this cream for 2 weeks now. At first didn't make any difference but his skin is really clearing up now, hang in there it does work!"


"I am one of those sticklers who tries to follow every direction given by my physician.  When it came to treating the flu, I was certainly no different...until I took Tamiflu.  I felt so horrible the first two days with a fever of 100.2+, that I didn't know if it was helping or hurting. By day three, my fever broke (thanks to Advil) and every time I took Tamiflu, I nearly threw up, with or without food.  I am so nauseous that I can hardly move.  It made me very irritable and negative.  I only have three pills left, but I just cannot force myself to take them. Everyone reacts differently to medicine.  This is just my experience.  Good luck to the fellow flu survivors!"


"The swelling in my feet and ankles decreased over the course of five days but it interacted with my anti-depressant medication and rendered it useless.  I couldn't even force myself to get out of bed.  I lost all interest in activities that I had enjoyed.  Had to stop taking it."


"My neurologist put me on Norco for cluster migraine headache combination.  I was very impressed, it is the first medication that has taken the chronic pain away.  The only other medicine that kept the pain away was Morphine.  I worry about addiction, but I don't have a problem with not taking it if I don't need it.  After five months of no relief from these headaches I am so happy to have found something that works."


"I love Nexplanon. I've had it for four months now and I was extremely worried because I don't take very well to birth control. I've tried about three different kinds and they all gave me horrible side effects. So I thought I would get the non stop bleeding like they say 70% of women get. But I didn't. I got headaches for the first month and no period for two months. The last two months it's been just a light spotting off and on for about 3-4 days. Which is the length of my normal period.

I don't get any warnings that my period is coming anymore. No cramps, no sore breasts. Nothing. I do get food cravings more often everyday and I have an increased appetite and a tiny scar at the insertion site but that's all."


"Started this therapy just a week ago. Being 7 years on allopurinol, I have never seen my uric acid level under 9. Within 4 hours after my 1st infusion, my uric acid went from 13.1 to 1.9.
Looking forward to see what it does to my hand tophi."


"This is my 2nd time around with the neplanon. And I have to say the 1st time around (3 years) it was great. But the 2nd time I got extreme acne and acne scaring. I am going to get it removed and try something different."


"Taking Lyrica for spinal cord injury. Started with 75 mg daily. Seem to stop the severe burning in my feet but I have memory problems with blurred vision. Dr. has upped the meds to 150 mg 2X daily not sure how I'm going to react to that.   I'll report back in a week or two if I have a brain left"


"I am able fall asleep within a half hour and stay asleep at least seven hours. Prior to  taking Trazadone I would wake up every two hours so it has allowed me to finally sleep after months of insomnia .

Cons : I have new anxiety , sweating during the day , awful short term memory that is worsening , tremors and amnesia ."


"Bad experience causes extreme restless leg syndrome and back aches, taste horrible also , only been on 20 mgs a day for 3 weeks so hopefully not much withdrawals I'm stopping cold turkey as I need my sleep gonna dry bendryl as I think its a allergic reaction.  Would never take again."


"A life saver, I am bipolar with panic disorder, also without this medication I would not be able drive, go out in public as I have developed agoraphobia and social phobia in my early twenties, mostly from the shame and fear of losing control or having attacks in public. I would not have any form of normal life or even be able to hold a job. Believe me I have been on every medication or combinations out there. I had no side affects while on this medication. Only reason I am not giving this it a 10 is because it is highly addictive. It is HELL to get off of - don't even try going cold turkey, your anxiety will return double than before, speak to your doctor and taper off it slowly. This medication was kind of a last resort. It helps."


"I have been on zubsolv for just 2 days now and it is life changing. I have been taking 10mg Hydrocodone for a few years now at least 10x a day or more and I cannot believe how well this medication is working. When I would run out of Hydrocodone I would take things like morphine, hydromorphone because I was so sacred of getting withdrawals which only made things worse Obviously. Although I have never tried sub's or any other detox for that matter I am absolutely shocked at how great I feel. I cannot believe I was so afraid for so long to stop using the painkillers out of fear of the withdrawal. I would recommend zubsolv to ANYBODY wanting to stop opiates to try this route. I feel clear minded, energized and no need to reach for my pills."


"Implant = never again!, I'm 23 years old I've had the implant for about 2 months. I've had a period everyday since getting it. I've gained over half a stone, plus I'm an emotional wreck. I go through 4 emotions a day, I have sleepless nights, feel drained and dizzy everyday. Been to the doctors today to be told I need it removing as my body is clearly rejecting it and that they don't won't me to get depressed. I was on the pill before but had the same issues ( bleeding everyday) I get my implant taken out on Monday then will be getting the 11 weekly injection. Please please please if you feel how I'm feeling please seek medical attention. The implant isn't for everyone, do your research then go ahead and choose."


"I have been taking Cymbalta for about a year now. At first it WAS awful. I was started on 30 mg trial samples for a week and then ramped up to 60 mg a day after that. Getting on Cymbalta is very hard, and it really takes perseverance to get through the initial effects of it. I was previously on Narcotic pain relievers and drugs like Lyrica, Neurontin, etc. After being on Cymbalta for a few months, I noticed I didn't really need the narcotic anymore. (Oxycontin 10 mg x3 a day) -yes really! I've found that it does make me 'sick' and tired about 30 minutes after taking it, but it fades about a half hour after that. Taking it  with food seems to help with the sick feeling. Take it before bed if you are starting Cymbalta. It does work!"


"I was prescribed Xanax by my psychiatrist because of severe anxiety.  I was started on 1 mg to be taken at night. It has been the best medication prescribed for my condition as it also helped slow down the suicidal thoughts which were on a daily basis.  I am still taking Xanax under GP supervision, as it helps relieve the level of anxiety tremendously.  It is the best medication ever made for people who are born prone to anxiety throughout their childhood/adolescence and extreme shyness, yes shyness.  I also take it in conjunction with antidepressant, Aropax, which helped with my depression but also with my unfortunate disability of extreme shyness which was a constant problem for me as an adult basically all my life."


"Severe yeast infections that caused bleeding and the strongest type of medications wouldn't knock it out."


"My son almost 6 started on Daytrana right around 5 yrs old. We went from half a 10mg patch to a whole 10mg patch.
Really it's whatever we need that day. It does work.
Positives for us: concentration improved, attitude solid.
Negatives: if we leave the patch on from 8-6, we are up until 2 or 3 am if we do not give melatonin to help sleep. Appetite severely decreases on medicine, days without medicine he's eating like a horse.

Overall the medicine has more positives than negatives, I just would like more understanding on how as a parent to be able to handle all this."


"Librium is the best thing out there. I've drank my entire life. Never tried anything else to wean off of alcohol but Librium. It does make you tired. But who gives a turkey. It sure beats coming off of alcohol with nothing and going through hell."


"This drug is complete poison. I took it for 6 months at 80 mg and have side effects still 4 years later."


"It's helped me from my dependence and it really works well to stave off withdrawal.  The negatives outweigh the positives for me.  This drug has caused me to gain a lot of weight mostly from fluid retention.  It's very hard to come off you have to taper very slowly like a mg a week or you'll feel like crap. If you don't have insurance you have to pay $400 a month where I live this is going to a methadone clinic. This drug also cuts off your sex drive I used to be a very sexual person now I have little to no desire for sex anymore.  If you're on a high dose on most days you'll feel out of it and very sleepy so it's important that you tell your doctor/nurse the truth about your dose you don't want to be on too high nor too low of a dose."


"I just started taking TriSprintec two days ago. I take the pill at 10pm everynight, as recommended by my doctor. The only side effects I've come across is being more emotional than usual - getting upset and crying over things I normally wouldn't cry over, and a slightly increased appetite. Hopefully these side effects will go away eventually. All in all it hasn't given me too many problems. "


"I have cervical stenosis, bulging discs, and neuro issues resulting from them, I have been on Fentanyl patches, Oxycodone, and huge doses of Morphone ER wtih IR for break through. I thought my pain would never end and it was not only debilitating, but depressing to the point of, although not suicide, definitely not wanting to get up in the morning and wishing I could just die.  When I moved and got a new Pain Management doctor, he questioned many of my old doc's decisions, but above all he changed me onto Opana 30mg ER twice daily with 30mg IR Morphine for breakthrough 3x day.  I feel more alive than I have felt in at least seven years.  I am awake, I am alert, and I am functional, which is more than I had come to expect.  Zero side effects"


"I have been on Contrave for one month. I have an uncontrollable craving for sweets. I have gained 2 #. I will try one more month and see if it gets any better. Very disappointed."


"Started taking Reclipsen three months ago and it was horrible. It brought on anxiety and intense mood swings along with depression, I'm finally getting off of it but do not buy this if you already have anxiety!"


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

"Female - HIV pos since 2014 - current viral load : undetectable
I've been on Genvoya for about 2 months, and I love it. Little to no side effects. The first week I've had mild headaches, none now that I've been on it.
Suspecting mild weight gain, however I could be wrong. I've only gained 5 extra lbs : may or may not be the medicine.
Love genvoya *"


"I finally feel like living again. I even wanted to make love to my wife. It's been a long while. I love this Viibryd. But I do have to say take after a small meal. That's when I really felt better. This is the best medication. Just stick with it."


"I only take 1/4 of a 15 mg tablet daily at bedtime."


"Lost 85lbs in under a year. Gained it all back as soon as I stopped taking it. "


"Debated long and hard, but finally asked my OBGYN for Wellbutrin XL for hormonal mood issues. I work for a psychiatrist so I'm well informed of my options and felt this medication was my first choice for symptoms and fewest chances of unwanted sexual and weight gain side effects.  2 weeks into treatment at 150mg.  Feeling an overall clear and light heartedness.  This week should be the height of my PMS and I am not cranky!  Also helping a lot with decreasing appetite and smoking is very unappealing.  Very minor stomach unsettle, and I've been waking more in the middle of the night, but side effects generally mild and tolerable.  May ask to increase dose to 300mg.  I wish I had asked for this medication sooner!"


"On Prozac for 6 months. Never been better."


"I've tried other BCP before this one and they made me more emotional than this one. I would be hysterical and with aubra i felt more like myself. It definitely had its cons, but the fact that it didn't give me emotional panic attacks like my previous bcps, it wins. I really like this one.

Pros: For me, less emotional and lighter periods. Effective in preventing  pregnancy.

Cons: Nausea, I was told to take my pills at night for this reason. And most nights I don't feel this symptom. Less sex drive."


"For a previous yeast infection tried monistat3 and had HORRIBLE burning immediately after using and just used for one day. Just got another yeast infection so decided to try monistat7 because I read reviews that it wasn't as strong/didn't burn as bad, well WRONG! Burns just as bad and I will never be buying this product again nor do I recommend anyone trying it. This is also the first time I've ever wrote a product review because it was that bad!!"


"I have been on methadone 40 mg for two years and dropping myself down to 5 mg it took 2 years to get to 5 mg then I went to zubsolv 5.7 . My first experience was it got me high , I mean real high , nose itching off and euphoria out the ass . I am still feeling weird 12 hours later and I've only took one pill all day . This stuff is strong , I've taken suboxone and never felt like this , it tasted horrible though and zubsolv tastes way better . I'm giving it a try , will likely break mine in two cause it's so damn strong . I don't like feeling like this all day . But I will say I haven't been in any pain or any withdrawal all day but feel drugged out and sleepy 12 hrs later . I think it's gonna work for me but I am going to break it in two ."


"Worked well in combination with xanax for 3 months then lost effectiveness"


"I have been using Drysol for almost three weeks for my sweaty scalp, and it has worked wonders. The product is totally amazing!!! I have only one small problem, after using Drysol my scalp has become blotchy. Can anyone recommend a lotion or cream for the discoloration of my scalp? Also I need to know that the moisturizer won't stop the Drysol from working. Please reply ASAP!!!"


"I'm 21 years old and this medication gave me my life back. I have social anxiety, hypochondria, and occasional panic attacks. I'd immediately become stiff and uptight at all social events as well as at school. It got so bad that it affected my grades. After I take a Xanax, the anxiety simply vanishes and it's replenished with relaxation, tranquility, and stability. All the scary, racing thoughts stop and I begin to think more logically and calmly. I take 0.5 mg five times a day as needed. Xanax is also wonderful for muscle spasms."


"I started a new relationship with my current boyfriend and I felt something not right after having unprotected sex with him the first time.  I went to get tested and unfortunately it came back positive. They gave me 2 500mg pink pills. I was so sick to my stomach that time... so nauseous with diarrhea. So did he. But we didn't wait long enough to have sex and got it one more time. Took it again last night around 10pm and woke up day (7:45am) with bad stomach pain, nauseous and diarrhea- so did my boyfriend. So please wait to have sex again !!!!!! Better to take it once and have the pain/diarrhea than to double take it for not  waiting."


"Have taken it for nearly 15 years. No problems or noticable side effects."


"Absolutely love skyla! I had only used pills before, never had any terrible side effects from those, but I wasn't happy with them, so I decided to switch. My experience with getting it inserted was pretty much just heavy-period like cramps that day and randomly for the next 2 week (I have never had children too and did not find the insertion painful, just crampy). My period was longer (but lighter) for the first 6 months, but now I just spot for a couple of days every other month, which is fantastic. I also love the freedom of not having to remember to do anything for my birth control! The only down side for me is that it only lasts 3 years."


"Had it placed 3 weeks ago, get it removed tomorrow. Started with heavy irregular bleeding a year ago. Had an endometrial ablation in February 2017, didn’t do anything about the heavy irregular bleeding, it became even worse. My doctor talked about getting an IUD Mirena. Some hesitation because of the experience some of my friends had, and they weren’t good. Long story short had it placed 3 weeks ago. Heavy cramping, heavy bleeding and just not feeling happy. Didn’t have this before, no issues when I had a period, I am bleeding for almost 6 weeks and one day relief.  I know it can take some time too adjust but I am already so done with this. Next step is a hysterectomy."


"Never again. Ever. This is probably the 10th time I've taken dulcolax and each time is worse than the last. This time I took 2 tablets at 130 AM and got woken up at 730 AM. feeling extremely sick. Usually I would lay in bed and wait for it to pass, but not this time. I began to have violent vomiting while my stomach turned upside down! At this point I was vomiting while trying to not soil myself (which is a very unpleasant experience especially after first thing waking up). After BARELY having a bowel movement I crawled back into bed into the fetal position hoping it would be over soon. This is when the cramps began. The cramps from this medicine were the worst I've EVER experienced in my life. STAY AWAY FROM DULCOLAX! Stick with miralax!"


"I have had ulcerative colitis for 25 years have tried all the different medications .I have had to take 10 mg of Prednisone daily for 25 years, if I did not take it I went right into an outbreak. I've been on Humira for the past 5 months. I have not felt this good in 25 years . and it has worked very well for me .We will see how it works long-term .I'm finally off the prednisone and I never thought that would happen."


"I took Cipro for a UTI. It worked great. I took 750mg twice a day for 10 days and it worked perfectly. After the first dose I start feeling relief from my UTI symptoms ( frequent urge, slight incontinience, shy bladder, etc). I gave Cipro a thumbs up.
I am late twenties, male, active, no allergies."


"I've now been taking these pills for almost a full 4 weeks. Still working 100%. Aka still no baby growing inside me. Still no side effects. Love them, and so cheap. Perfect."


"Use 0.5mg a night for insomnia. Works great and puts me to sleep quick. Feel good in the morning."


"I have been on opioids for 29 years now. About 10 years ago, my doses were so high and the constant pushing because of impact ion unless I was taking 10 laxatives at night to wake up with unbearable cramps to have diarrhea, then taking more laxatives throughout day cured the fecal impaction....but I ended up with a external prolapsed bowel that would come out even going tinkle. The doctors had never seen one completely outside, which I would have to manually push back in every time. Surgery was 10 nights in the hospital on one of those automatic beds that move position so you don't get bed sores. 1000+ stitches and staples and now Relistor....doesnt always work, but when it does....OMG! It feels like heaven...Yeah!!!!"


"I'm only on day 1 with 40mg dose, but I noticed the front of my brain hurts and I'm endlessly thirsty. Getting up and sitting down has made me a little dizzy also. Hope it gets better with time or I'll ask doc for a change of meds."


"I have been on several variations of opiate medications since the age of 17, when it was discovered that I had herniated two discs badly in my lower back while training for the military. I am currently 22 and have gone through pretty much every med on the scale ( vicodin, morphine, oxycotin, oxycodone/roxicodone/percocet, hydromorphone, etc.) and I have found oxycodone has worked the best for short to mid term relief. Be very careful with these opiate medications to aviod addiction. Also watch out for the tylenol content, as it can damage your liver long term. Currently taking 30 mg roxicodone 3-4 times a day for 4 damaged lubmar discs and its a great help in getting me through my day closer to normal than it otherwise would be."


"I started taking this medication to fight anxiety, especially before going to bed when the mind is racing.  It definitely helps, but I am completely lethargic the next day, and I only took half a pill.  However, I've also only taken it occasionally for one day here and there, not on a regular basis, so my body may not have time to adjust like others mention on here."


"I "had" been backed up for 5 days.  I went to CVS about 3 hours ago or so and picked up a ten ounce bottle....all I can say is that it is working.. it is slightly painful though...but totally worth it if you are constipated. "


"My ENT prescribed Cefdinir (for 21 days) along with Azelastine nasal spray and Methylprednisolone (12 days) for a severe sinus infection that was not relieved by taking Amox-Clav. On day 7 I got a fever. The fever was off/on for 4 days. When that subsided the diarrhea hit. It was pale, white and fleshy stools with stomach cramps every couple hours. After 5 days I saw my family doctor who did blood tests. Coming back normal, she decided my symptoms were side effects of the Cefdinir. I had one day of feeling decent and then headache and fever is back. So far missed three days of work and a weekend. Diarrhea has subsided a little. Stools are now really soft/liquidy but normal color. I'm on day 15 of 21."


"I've spent 11 months on Camrese and it's been great.  No period, my acne and mood swings were under control.  I had occasional spotting, and over the course of the past year I've gained 10 lbs (with no other lifestyle changes), which are the only reasons I will be discussing changing medication with my doctor."


"I have been taking Valtrex for my cold sore breakouts now for 3 and half years. I had bad outbreaks every 3 months before I started taking it. I have been dealing with cold sores for 9 years now. I started taking one pill a day everyday 3 and half years ago. Since that point I have had only 2 small out breaks. It has totally changed my life and made me feel more confident since I am not always worrying about the next outbreak."


"I have been on this drug for 3.5 months: first month 30g, following 2.5 months 60g. It has categorically made zero difference to my acne. If anything, it's made it worse."


"I have been on Natazia for almost 2 months. I love it. I switched from being on Yasmin for 3 years. Natazia is a life-changer! My periods are amazing (if periods could be) and I've lost the weight I struggled to lose on Yasmin."


"Well I've had the mirena for about 2 months. I'm 22, no kids. I have tried different pills but I was horrible about remembering. The insertion of the mirena was really painful. I have had kidney stones and insertion wasn't quite as bad as that. After 2 days of horrible cramping it went away. After 3 weeks of spotting/ bleeding I stopped and have not had any period since. I do have cramps sometimes. I have not gained or lost any weight. No hair loss. No changes in acne. The only thing I've noticed is that I now have lots
 of little fine hairs all over my chin and side of my face. Way more than before. Not a huge deal, but annoying. My boyfriend can not feel it at all and my sex drive is the same. So far I love it."


"I had a virus infection of the back wall of my heart. In Feb 2007, my EF was 20% and I was throwing PVC's like crazy. My cardiologist started me on Coreg (carvedilol) but could not tolerate a dose higher than 3.125mg and he also started me on Vasotec (enalapril) and, again, I could not tolerate a dose higher than 2.5mg. In fact, I take my blood pressure before every dose (2x daily) and if it is less than 130, I do not take the Vasotec.

By June 2007, my EF was 68% and only the occasional PVC these days.

Coreg and Vasotec continue to work very well and have saved my life!"


"Condom broke and he fully came in me. I'm 18 so we were both very scared. Took the pill about 30 min after. Got my period exactly 2 weeks later. No side effects from the pill except for tiredness in the first few days. I had already been late on my period due to stress from school so I was very nervous and didn't know what to expect. My period came about 2 weeks later than my expected one for May, the month I took the pill, and 2 weeks early from my expected June one, so right in the middle. Don't stress just keep yourself occupied."


"This is a very good treatment for the acne. I have been using this product for 5 years and it works."


"I am 22 and have been a very heavy drinker since age 15. I have not went more than about three days at a time without drinking. Never a couple, every time to the point of being drunk. The past few weeks I went on a bender with very little sleep and drinking every day. Two days ago I went into a seizure at work. I was sent to the ER where the doctor told me my alcohol levels were so high he didn't know how someone my age could tolerate that amount of consumption. He gave me a script for Librium and sent me home . I had one more seizure waiting for the pills. Since then they have kept my symptoms so manageable that I can function. Thank god for this medication. I feel I would die without it"


"Lexapro (or the Escitalopram version in my country) was almost immediately successful in treating my anxiety and extreme rage issues. I've been using it for 8 months, but experience one major side-effect: constant tiredness or lethargy. I've tried taking it at other times during the day, but no change. I sleep really well at night, have vivid dreams, am more creative and able to solve problems - if I can stay awake during the day. Get really drowsy two hours after taking this and can easily nap for a couple of hours in the afternoon.  I'm no longer a bitch, but also no longer awake. So will have to choose between being mentally sharp or being anxious and angry all the time."


"Took this pill 40 hours after an incident during ovulation time. After a few days I was worried that it didn't work because I wasnt experiencing ANY symptoms. I got my period 11 days after taking the pill (exactly the time I was supposed to get my period) and it ended up being heavier and lasted a day longer than usual. Again, I did not experience ANY symptoms whatsoever. My period has now finished and I'm just relieved I can go on from here. Thank goodness this pill worked for me."


"When I used Estivin ll for the first time I thought that it was just the look of the box that had changed. Boy was I wrong it no longer contained only an infusion of Rose Petals with 0.01% Thimerosal as a preservative. Which got rid of the itchy, red & blisters on my families eyes after only 60-90 seconds. It was fantastic but now it (Estivin ll) has a bunch of things that can't be pronounced with a Big list of warnings including warnings for pregnant women or wanting to become pregnant women. Now it does not give any relief at all in fact it actually makes things a little worse. I wish that the company would bring back the old version and have it available also so people had a choice of what to use."


"Entire palms of my hands and fingertips in the exact same locations become afflicted with hard skin then cracks making it very painful & extremely difficult for work and do normal activities. Prescribed  Betamethasone Valerate 0.1% & had no effect, appeared to make the condition worse.  Dermatologist took skin graph with positive test results for psoriasis.  I was then Prescribed Topicort and used it twice a day, once in the morning & once at night for two weeks. What a relief !  My skin cleared up completely !  No cracks, No peeling skin, No redness & my hands actually feel pliable again.  This lasts for maybe 3 weeks and I will begin to get hardening of palms and finger tips again and have to complete another two week cycle of Topicort."


"Been on this medication 15 days; noticed after 7 days a drop in sexual performance; after 14 days a complete inability to get an erection."


"I been on Cymbalta for almost a year and I have no anxiety or depression I really didn’t have any side effects except nausea but other then that the meds work great I’m happy with it "


"I've been on Cryselle for two years now and I absolutely love it! I actually lost weight since taking the pill and have maintained this new low weight ever since. My periods used to be 8-10 days and filled with unbearable cramps and heavy bleeding. My periods are now 3-4 days and extremely light. My boobs get a little sore before I'm going to begin but that's how it's always been for me. Everyone's different. I experience little to no cramps with the pill which is amazing compared to what I used to deal with. I can remember having to stay home from school because my cramps and bleeding were so severe it would make me sick. I'm 20 years old and began taking Cryselle at 18. I highly recommend !!!"


"For 5 years, my knee has caused severe problems and I have had to use a brace or bandage when on my feet. After having a large mass removed from my leg, the knee got worse and was swollen until I couldn't walk without a cane or walker. I went to the doctor to see if I could get a shot to help me walk and he gave me a tube of Voltaran Gel to use. I came home, put it on the knee and propped my leg up for an hour. When I was ready to get up, I dreaded it because I just knew I was going to be in horrible pain again. But, the pain was almost all gone. I couldn't believe that a simple gel could have that effect so fast but, it did! This product is worth its weight in gold! No cane for two days now!"


"Amevive was a true miracle!

I have had psoriasis for 26 years. It was always kept under control until 2 years ago I had a severe outbreak.

Most of my body was covered with psoriasis, my back (neck to waist) was the only part not affected. I had psoriasis on the bottom of both feet, palms of both hands, and head also.

 I was in severe pain, blistered, swollen, chills, and slight fever.

To sit I had to pack myself with pillows, and to lay down was almost impossible.

I was given Amevive, 1 shot per week for 12 weeks. The 1st shot I noticed improvements. Every shot more spots cleared. By the 12th shot I was COMPLETELY clear with NO psoriasis.

There results lasted for over 1 year.

Miracle is the only thing I can say for Amevive."


"I, too, have had great results with this medication. It's almost too good to be true. Some weight loss, my readings dropped significantly. I now wonder if it is helping my psoriasis. As after many, many years, it has disappeared from my right leg altogether."


"I am prescribed Oxycontin 30mg (oxycodone timed release) 3 times a day and oxycodone IR 5mg 3-4 times a day for breakthrough pain. I suffer from severe trigeminal neuralgia which is horrible pain in the face. They do work really well for pain control. The only issue sometimes is getting my pharmacy to fill them. Some pharmacists look at you like a junkie because you are on pain meds and its annoying. I hate that nonsense! The OxyContin 30mg are soo hard to fill because they are rare and my pharmacy always has to order them which is fine with me. But they do work great for pain. The only bad part is how your body becomes physically dependant on them and you get sick if you dont have them. Its not an addiction but a dependence.Big difference!"


"I am 79, incontinence has been a big problem for past 6 years.  For past 3 years on 4mg/day DOXAZOSIN, urine rate = 100ml/pee during the day.  At night, 200 to 300ml/pee --- an awkward but manageable condition.  Without DOXAZOSIN, urine rate drops considerably with severe (intolerable) spasms.  Thank goodness for DOXAZOSIN."


"Ladies n gents calm down. This stuff works I stressed myself out for a whole week about it. My gf and I had unprotected sex and I finished inside her and she was ovulating. We went and got the pill the next morning about 11 hours later and I started freaking out. It ended up she's not pregnant and I am ELATED. THE STUFF WORKS. Use it for emergencies only and I think it is dependable I hope this helps some people stressing I know I had to go to this website to calm me down too. Just wait it'll b ok"


"I have had the Implanon for almost 2 yrs now and I wish I would have never had to switch from the patch. When I was on the patch I had NO problems, no weight gain, VERY regular periods, no acne. I had to switch to Implanon because I can't use a birth control with estrogen. Since starting Implanon my periods are very irregular. In fact, I bled for the first year and a half with maybe 2 wks of a break TOTAL. The only good thing I can say about it is, I haven't gotten pregnant. My skin also changed, I have never had a problem with acne and now my forehead is oily and constantly breaks out, as does my back.  I have also gained a total of 10lbs which I can't say it totally caused by Implanon. I plan on taking my Implanon out soon and finding another method."


"I find this to be the best and most affordable pain medicine on the market, I live with chronic p pain from 4 abdominal surgeries for Endo and several broken/shattered bone is wrist and foot since I have osteroperosis also, and a torn rotator cuff injury as well now, I take 2-3 a day 10mg, makes me a little tired some days and problems with constipation since I have loads of adhesions from stomach surgeries, that adds to the constipation too but I can live a normal life now, and I thank God that my doctor prescribes it for my pain as some doctors would rather have me take 8 Percocets a day or have more surg, and they don't help half as much as the 2-3 methadone tablets I take as needed. They are also so cheap in price compared to other drug"


"My boyfriend and I were having sex and the condom broke. We were both in utter shock and scared  of or minds considering we are 17 and seniors in high school. I had just started birth control a week before the accident so I was still unsure because I didn't know how effective it would be so early on. We drove right to the pharmacy and got plan b. I took it within an hour of the condom breaking. I experienced some of the symptoms such as nausea, leg pain, abdominal pain, and headaches. I wasn't due for my period for another 2 weeks. These were the worst 2 weeks of my life. Not knowing whether or not my life would be ruined. Well, 2 weeks just went by and today I was gifted with my period! Plan B saved my life."


"Little to no effect on cough and only helped me sleep a little.  During 2 of my coughing fits i woke up to take 2.5 more ml (1/2 tsp) and it didnt help. "


"After taking Cymbalta for 3 weeks I become gradually more nervous, by 4 and 1/2 weeks I felt like I was having a constant panic attack. I felt terrified all the time but I couldn't even tell you what I was terrified of. It was the most horrible feeling I've ever experienced. My doctor insisted that I increase the dose but I refused. I finally argued with him and demanded to be taken off. I've been looking for someone else that experienced a similar reaction."


"Promethazine is a lifesaver. I'm 26yrs old and was diagnosed with Acute Renal Failure 8 months ago. My main symptom was extreme nausea and vomiting. I've had to take a plastic bag with me everytime I left the house and was in the ER about 7 times since the diagnosis for dehydration.The doctors give me 3 medications( including Zofran, which I took and was no match for the vomiting). Things were looking pretty grim, my psychological and physical health was going downhill until I was prescribed promethazine. I took it for 2 days and bam, all the vomiting and nauseousness was gone. I stopped taking it and felt fine. It's now 3 months later and the vomiting is back, I know just what I'll be taking now."


"Not helping for my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. On max dose now, and still nothing. I get this feeling of the skin on my head contracting...I don't know if that's normal."


"I have been on Depo-Provera for 11 or 12 years and love it. I started out with very few periods and all of them were very light.  Now I normally will lightly spot or clot before my next shot is due. Now I never have any periods so it's been great. The only problem I've had is just recently, for my last shot I went to a different doctor and they gave me the generic version which caused me to bleed very heavily and severe cramping so I know to never use the generic form again."


"It did its job by not getting me pregnant however I gained a lot of weight.  I also had terrible mood swings.  One time I cried for two hours and couldn't stop.  I was on Yaz for about 6 months and I still had terrible mood swings so I switched to Loestrin and have me very happy so far."


"This drug is garbage and should be taken off the market, doesn't work keeps you up all night when you have to work a 12hr shift the next day. Causes RLS, migraine, and insomnia"


"I was given Solodyn for 3 months as part of a study. Within 3 days I saw a big difference. I was mainly looking to get rid of the red hue on my face since birth. I soon discovered that I had inflammation of my facial skin that was soon gone. My facial skin took on a whole new texture and what few tiny pimples I would get no longer existed. I have been without for 2 months now and my face has returned to it's original state. The rosacea on my collar bone/upper chest has not returned. I would recommend this to anyone who asked. Hoping to start doxycycline soon and get similar results."


"Severe cramps with taking two tablets...Big mistake!!!  However it does the job."

"I do not know if it is just me, but I had to discontinue using Sprintec because, apart from the horrible mood swings, I almost vomited in my boss' face on the first month. Everybody thought I was an alcoholic, because I was found vomiting in really questionable places; I also started getting really bad acne (my face skin was like a baby before I started the medication), to the point where that made me really self aware and uncomfortable. The acne was horrible and was accompanied by itchy skin and a reddish, burning feeling... I stopped the pill one year ago and it took my body a while to go back to how it was. Right now, my face is not like before, but the acne went away and left scars"


"This pill is the devil!! Don't do it!!!! I have seriously considered contacting the FDA to have it removed from the shelves! Made me feel completely out of control of my body and sick to my stomach to the point I had to lay down and hope I wasn't having a heart attack! Don't buy this crap!!"


"I've been taking Miralax as I was told take daily for my chronic bowel constipation which always resulted in blockage. I recently saw a commercial for Lizness and decided to research it on my own. I saw my physician and they let me try it for 30 days only because of the severity ofmy blockages to see a gastro dr.  I have been on it now for 4 days and this is the best I've felt in 11 years since my bowel was damaged in surgery in error.  I finally feel hope for my physical future."


"So I got the Mirena put in in January. And so far I get headaches everyday, I feel nauseous about half the day. Basically I feel pregnant the whole time. But the Mirena is working birth control wise. Worry free sex with my husband makes up for all of the symptoms."


"This stuff is a mircale. Ever since my first child 6 years ago I get YI and BV almost monthly. I've had many prescriptions, Diflucin, etc and this is the only stuff that works. I prefer Equate over the Monistat name brand. The name brand does have a slight burning the first time but thats just the avtive ingredients killing off the infection. The equate brand gave me no burning but there was itching the first day for about an hour total. By day 3 I am cleared up but I always continue to use it another day or two to be sure it's gone.

I suggest using it at night..insert it before bed and let it work uninterrupted as you sleep because theres a slight discharge."


"I took 3mg my first night. I was so groggy, I don't remember anything from about two hours before bed and I had the WORST TIME waking up this AM. I was so groggy and cranky and again can barely remember anything until I started finally getting up and around. This is super strong, I took 3mg, but for someone who goes days without sleeping, I'll take these side effects over no sleep any day. I am taking the generic. At least give it a try. I have to for insurance purposes and I'm pretty glad I did. My doctor says the grogginess will fade after a while."


"It's funny because I usually get a break out here and there like every normal girl and I thought maybe this was just a coincidence that I was horrendously breaking out. I'm talking huge pimples plastered on my checks and little white heads all over my forehead. I thought maybe it was a coincidence till I read reviews and seen that this causes acne for a lot of people. I quit taking it 2 days ago, and my face is already immediately clearing back up again. I think I'll just stick to condoms. Birth control has been a night mare for my face."


"I recently realized I have had anxiety practically my whole life. Being thirty years old now, I really wish I had been prescribed this a long time ago. It has reduced my shaking and anxiety effects so much that I feel like a real person.  I never knew what it was like to feel calm until now.  I am very thankful for this medicine."


"I have been on Cymbalta for one year, since G.P. thought I probably have Fibromyalgia. Helped with exhaustion and depression but not so much on pain. Saw a Rheumatologist last week and she confirmed the diagnosis and started me on Savella also. Have only taken 12.5mg for 4 days but my pain is already greatly reduced. No side effects yet, maybe a little bit of a "manic" feeling like I had too much caffeine."


"I was born with HIV  my birth mother transfer it & had it all my life. Never taken medicine my immune system dropped drastically I got a thrush in my mouth and my skin started to break out really bad. I've been on triumeq for 3 days and I must say I think I'm only taking this medicine with food. Geez the nausea has been tough and a Lil lost of appetite I did have to use antifungals as well due to the thrush but hoping it does gets better. I'm excited for this journey, it's encouraging to read other stories... "


"I used the Habitrol patches over 16 years ago.  Once I really decided to quit, I got rid of every trace of cigarettes in my home and car, then I put on the patch.  I used the first round of patches for the prescribed time, the second round  for two weeks and the third round for one week.  I never looked back and remain nicotine free to this day.  I did keep the "left over" patches for a about a year in case I had a relapse but never needed them.  I would recommend the Habitrol patch very highly.  Now if they only had a good appetite supressent for all the weight I gained afterwards."


"We tried this for my daughter when she suddenly started getting migraines every day. Migraines down to 2 per week and less severe but when we tried increasing the dose side effects became intolerable: doesn't help her sleep at night yet makes her very tired all day, have to force her to eat, her legs tingle all the way up to her hip. She also has nightmares,  and vivid dreams, even during the day. That was the last straw and we'll be trying something else. Real shame because we think it was helping."


"I've been getting Bvitamin injections for 9 months. Taking with phentermine for weight loss. Have more energy, I sleep less hours without being fatigued and have not been sick once since I started. Lost 40lbs total with both meds."


"Paxil has helped me live again."


"I have very clear skin for the most part, but once a month (the week before my period) my chin would break out. Since I started to use Adapalene Gel I have not had a single break out in 5 months!"


"When I first started taking Orsythia I loved it! It even caused me to lose weight. I would only take it in the morning or afternoon sometimes at night when I would remember and I never got pregnant. My pharmacy switched me to Lutera and I had irregular bleeding. I know its the same main ingredient, I am not sure if the dosage changed but I did have tender breasts. I actually thought I was pregnant but that was impossible because I had 10 day periods. I felt like I was always on my period. It was annoying. Then I got used to it. I feel as though I may have gained some weight but its all water weight and bloat. Now I am taking Aubra its the same ingredients so hopefully my body adjusts and I go back to being skinny with hardly any period."


"Started this medicine about 2 months ago. The first week was hell, had to call and get the approval to cut from 80mg to 40mg at bedtime. I was falling asleep right after taking it. Couldn't stay awake for anything. After reducing to 40mg it's been wonderful. It's made my appetite almost non existent, which for me is nice. I currently take 600 mg 3x daily of Gabapentin, 20 mg of Lexapro in the am, 40 mg of Geodon at bedtime, and 0.5 mg of Ativan as needed. This combo for me, has saved my sanity! I finally feel somewhat normal (which has been life changing)."


"I love it, I have been overweight and I am on steroids for the rest of my life due to a brain surgery I had which makes it hard for me to lose weight. Qsymia is my new best friend I have been on it for just over two weeks and I have lost 11lbs. I have not had any side effects. I would recommend this to anyone who is struggling with losing weight. My doctor said that if losing weight slows down for me I can always go up to the next dose. This is the best medicine out there and I look forward to the new me."


"I have been having pain in my wrists, hands and elbows for years due to waiting tables and hefting 100 pound trays on one hand. Lately, I was having more pain in those areas, and my hips have started really hurting me. My doctor and I ran tests, and by process of elimination we feel that I have chronic fatigue, which can contribute to a lot of the allergy/asthma symptoms, the pains and exhaustion. I started taking Lyrica and am up to 100mg 3 x daily. I feel great. Everything but my hip is better."


"My knee has been swollen with pain since my surgery 8 months ago.  Been on other anti-inflammatory meds and nothing helped.  Took Sulindac for about 2-3 weeks and the pain/swelling was gone.  Unfortunately, I started getting constipated and went off it.  Two days after, the pain/swelling came back.  Ughh.  Started to take it again until I go back to the doctors."


"Just started taking this 2x daily in combination with Lumigan 1x daily.

The Dorzolamide burns my eyes and the Lumigan doesn't."


"I haven't had a restorative night's sleep since 1996. Been on a long list of meds for sleep. Dx - chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia. But my sleep disorder is longer than that. On combo of Ambien 10 mg, klonopin 1 to 1.5 mg for years. Lately combo not working well like I developed a tolerance for it. Doctor looking for something that hasn't already failed for me to give a break from Ambien. One of meds prescribed to try is Belsomra 15 mg. Not sure it did anything. Awake for hours felt like I was starting to hallucinate, well just mildly. Tried it again for 3 days, each day would finally sleep for a few hours starting about 5 AM. Final day woke with blaster migraine. Not worth even the copay. On to the next ..."


"I've been on Ambien and it was too strong. It gave me brain fog the next day. Taking half a pill helped but I did not like that it was habit forming. Got some samples of Silenor 3mg and it helped keep me sleeping or if I woke up I would go back to sleep. I only take half a pill with an 8 oz glass of water and that does the trick. It also helps to use earplugs to keep out noise.  Ive noticed that some people complain of weight gain. I cant imagine how that could happen if you are sleeping. But if Im awake and nibbling in the middle of the night, unless I up my exercise it's to be expected."


"I experienced horrible side effects with Geodon. I broke out in a rash over my entire body that itched like fiberglass. It took it for 21 days and it took another 21 days after stopping to finally stop getting new sores."


"My doctor prescribed Dilantin for anxiety and depression.  It seems to work just about 60 to 70% of the time for both conditions.  Other times I can't really tell the difference.  I use 1 or 2 - 100 mg Capsule(s) a day or only as needed.  I like that it is not habit forming and tolerance is not built up.  Side effects need to be looked at, although I don't experience any serious adverse effects.  Extra Vitamin B-12 and Folic Acid needs to be taken while taking Dilantin because it may cause a deficiency with these nutrients."


"I absolutely love Clarifoam. I have oily, sensitive skin and have had a problem with acne since the age of five. I've tried many other dermatologist-recommended topicals and they all felt "caked on". Clarifoam goes on light and it's like you can't even feel it. Within the first three days of trying the product, my skin completely cleared up!"


"Had a small problem with indigestion which has been solved by using lansoprazole.  Makes life so much easier without the level of inflammation."


"My experiences seems similar to Ptmazeik's review.  Days 1 and 2 were fine but Day 3 - oh boy. I took my shot at 5pm and I have to admit, I was excited. I was prescribed Victoza for weight loss. I imagined my extra weight just falling off. But the side effects were not worth it. On my 3rd night I was awoken by a butterfly 'wobble' spreading up my chest, arms and head. I thought I was having a heart attack. It was an intense nauseating feeling. It lasted for 13 hours. I couldn't sleep, I was frightened and I didn't know what to do. I eventually found milk would ease my symptoms and that excessive acid was a part of what was happening. 27 hrs had passed from my shot and I felt fine. Utter relief. Wont take it again. I did lose 3lbs ;)"


"Been taking this on and off for the last few years.  Always within a few days of being on it twice daily. I feel some relief.
Never any side effects.
Best antibiotic I've taken."


"Used it for almost 3 months. Developed muscle pain and doctor pulled me off. Other than that toes look great after just three months. I spent 35 years treating it myself with no significant results. By summer the wife wants me to wear sandals, something I haven't done since I was 17. Big toes are about 75% back others are about 90%. Looking forward to barefoot beach walks."


"When my IC flares up (like it did last night when I drank a huge glass of orange juice--big mistake) and I can't sleep because of that horrible ache, one dose of this stuff works for me. I get the maximum strength OTC generic from CVS (Walgreen's has one, too) but even if you have to pay full price for the brand name, it is worth it. I'm so glad I found this drug.  I do have a box of thin maxi-pads left over from when I had periods, and since I'm at that age where I leak a bit, I wear these to keep my underwear and bed sheets from turning psychedelic orange."


"So when i first start taking birth control i was 15. It was my mothers idea and it was supposedly to minimize cramping. Anyways I started gain weight and immediately stopped taking the pills. Zoom forward to 23 yrs old and Im recommended by my gyne to take these pills. Well ive been on this pill for 3 months now and just realized I gained a whooping 20lbs in those 3 months!! And i know for certian ive conciously made better food choices in regards to some modeling events coming up. On top of that my acne has gotten awful in my adult hood but this pill made it worse! I started getting large painful cyistic acne on my forehead. I also experience a decrease in sex drive, fatigue, and increase in vaginal discharge. BEWARE"


"I think it causes my legs to ache at night"


"I have been using this pill for years and I love it.  No side effects whatsoever."


"My daughter had the injection this month.It stopped her psychosis, still a little paranoia. The first ten days severe pain in neck. Also some dizziness still and balance problems she says. She took cogentin for neck. Some relief from the neck now. Another issue from blood test is high prolactin level. We will be seeing her Dr this week .Dont know if side effects worth it"


"30 years old, pregnant with first child & experiencing 1st YI ever. Called my doctor & the nurse recommended over the counter treatment so I went with the Monistat 7 day. 1st night I used it, the second I inserted the cream, my entire vaginal area was on FIRE! Itching, burning so bad, I wanted to crawl out of my skin. Soaking in a cold bath was the only (sort of) relief! The pain was 1000x worse than the YI itch. Seeing doctor tomorrow."


"Been smoking for 10-15yrs, Menthol ones at that. Could not kick habit without some assitance. A friend offered to help me on one condition that I quit or she would want her money back. I took the callange. Only side effects that I experienced was weird dreams. Here I am 1yr 6mnths smoke free, and loving it. Thank you Chantix."


"My mother is 100 1/2 years old and has been living in a nursing home for the past 10 years.  Last year she developed severe anxiety (not really depression), fearful of almost everything around her.  Totally irrational.  At the request of the family, the nursing home put her on 20 mg Celexa and her mood turned around almost immediately with no side effects.  She was cheerful again and was willing to take life as it came her way.  To see if she could function on a lower dose, about a month ago they dropped her dose to 10 mg and the anxiety returned.  Today her dose was brought back up to 20 mg, and we are anticipating a return to her non-anxious self."


"I've been taking the medicine for 1 week now. I read all the stories but for me it works great. I sleep more, less anxious, my appetite now.... check this out I used to wake up starving, eating until I fell back to sleep. Would wake up at 5 every morning like clock work, I hated it. Now on the medicine, I don't wake up hungry."


"I've been on Oxycontin for 8 months. I take it to help with RSD pain in my shoulder that radiates all down my arm and into my hand. I have trouble taking high doses of nerve medications like gabapentin, so a narcotic is necessary. It definitely helps a lot. However, it does not last 12 hrs. I have oxycodone for breakthrough pain. I also have tried taking 3 doses of Oxycontin a day (per Drs orders) and that keeps it from running out. The problem with a triple dose is drowsiness; I started to have trouble tolerating that. But, overall this has been a lifesaver for me."


"Have used Chlor-Trimeton for many years, 4 mg twice a day, to control allergic reactions to pollen.  After trying all other OTC antihistamines, Chlor-Trimeton does the job best, and it's a single-ingredient medicine (not a combination of unnecessary ingredients)."


"I have suffered from severe disabling anxiety and depression for over a year now. I'm a paramedic, and father of 2 children and it greatly affected by ability to work, or even go to work and also my ability to enjoy my children when I had them. Lost 30-40lbs. After trying every SSRI on the market for 4 weeks and finally developing suicidal thoughts I checked myself in to a hospital. Within 4 days of starting Rememron- depression was completely relieved. Still have anxiety at times, no panic attacks. VERY FEW SIDE EFFECTS. Had sweating the first 2 days, that's it. GREAT MEDICINE FOR ME!!!!!!! I'm eating again and feeling great!"


"I have had the Skyla IUD for about two weeks. The insertion process was a painful but it was quick. So far I love the skyla I have not had any problems with them and I hope I don't. My period came on and lasted for a week and it was heavy which they said it was normal in the first 3-6 months the only thing that I hate is the cramps that comes with them for me it is really painful but I took a 800mg ibruprofen and a heating pad and it goes away. But every person has a different experience I love it so far and if you decide to get one don't be scared if you have a great OBGYN then it will be fine and make sure you ask a lot of questions that you may be concerned about."


"I've started taking Zoloft for close to a month and a half and I'm taking 100mg pills.

So far I've had zero side effects what so ever and I sleep well most of the time. I don't really feel any different, it's like drinking water. So far it's had almost no effect on me what so ever negative or positive, it's practically as though I'm not taking anything although I do feel VERY slightly more calm but barely, that's about it.

I don't have panic attacks when I'm awake (only asleep) neither am I depressed. I struggle with extreme dissociation, paranoia, erratic behavior, rage, jumpiness and anger to sounds, anti-social, etc.

Maybe the dose is too small so my doc will bump it to 200mg and I'll post again."


"I'm a 25 year old female. I was diagnosed with Crohn's in August 2011. I had a bowel resection at the end of September due to the severity of my illness. I've been taking Pentasa for about 3 months now and feel good, but my hair has been falling out like crazy. I read a normal person loses 50-100 strands a day, I'm losing probably triple that. It's really depressing, I'm switching to another medicine to see if that helps with the hair loss. Other than that I haven't had any side affects. Good luck!"


"In my experience with Meloxicam for an unspecified tendonitis in my outer wrist (my doc isn't real detail oriented), the drug doesn't do squat.  I should mention that I have both a high tolerance for pain as well as an unusual resistance to the average painkillers. No external reason like built-up tolerance to anything, I only regularly take asthma medication and tegritol.

For me, Meloxicam might as well be a placebo; add that to the troubling list of possible side-effects and I've contacted my doctor to disregard any refills and offer an alternate, more effective painkiller.  It might work wonder for others, but to me, Meloxicam just didn't do it."


"I've had this in for 2 years now and I love it. I guess everyone responds differently but I haven't experienced any acne breakouts, moodiness, prolonged periods... Etc. In fact, I haven't had a period in 2 years. Lots of sex, no babies. The one thing I will say though is that it made me gain 15 pounds within the first 3 months but other than that no further weight gain"


"Let me put to rest the biggest misconception about Suboxone.  You've all heard or have said it before.  "With Suboxone, I'm just trading one addiction for another."  That's WRONG and I'll tell you why.  An addiction is a compulsive behavior that we do and continue to do despite HARMFUL CONSEQUENCES.  I was addicted to heroin for a couple of years.  My life was going down the tubes.  I was suffering consequences left and right, but I kept using.  Now lets talk about DEPENDENCE.  We are dependent on a substance where if we STOP taking it, we will have harmful consequences.  A diabetic is dependent on their insulin, if they don't take it they could get very sick.  If I stop my Suboxone, I could suffer bad consequences.  Kapeesh?"


"It just made me cough way more. It was abolutly no help"


"Brisdelle - SUCKS - Why prescribe a medication to help you with the hot flashes YET make you feel miserable (side effect)  HEADACHES, nausea, trembling eye, Ewwwww. Really... I rather go thru the hot flashes. BAD BAD medicine.  Also I was puking up."


"Just started taking my second pack. Already amazed with the results. First month, my normally HEAVY (pad and tampon change every two hours) period was so light, I only had to wear panty liners. I am no longer in crippling pain. The first month was a little tough but the pain was nothing like it was. I feel a little sick every now and again. I haven't experienced any weight gain, just a lot of bloating around the mid section, but I bloat a lot when I'm on my period so that doesn't bother me. I assume that will change as time goes by. I don't feel excessively hungry except during the time that would have been my period. I have noticed my breasts have grown, not mad at that!"


"Itchy beyond belief!"


"I suffer from severe Neuropathy from my diabetes and have been on several pain medicines in the past. The last one was Lortab 10/500mg and did not take away all my pain. I was hurting after 3 hours of taking it. I was put on Percocet 10/325 by my doctor and I could not believe what a difference it has made in my life. I feel like I have my quality of life back. I can get around better and do not stay in bed most of the day from the pain. I was so depressed from being in so much pain. Now I am up and moving around better than I have in 2 yrs. I thank God my doctor has taken the time to listen to me and finally put me on something that works. He left me on the Lortab as well for break through pain medicine but I have not had to use it."


"I've been taking this pill for 10 days. I've always had great skin (I've been told by many doctors) and after just 10 days I'm suffering from cystic acne, the likes of which I have never seen. I would not recommend this pill to ANYONE."


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


"I'm 4 months along with my second child. This pregnancy is very different from the last. I never had such bad nausea, vomiting and dry heaving. I'm taking thus medicine in an as needed basis. So far I need one pill at night and another about mid morning. The original prescription said one morning, one mid day and two at night. I did that once and slept until 2 pm the next day. That's not healthy either. The only complaint I have is the cost. It ran $178.53 for us. A cost that wasn't expected but when Phenergren and Zofran isn't working....you give in. Just as every OTC or prescription, there are side effects. For me the benefit outweighs the risk. Try to stay away from medication until at least 13 wks."


"Seroquel- Out of Risperdal, Zyprexa, Trilafon, Abilify, Haldol, and Geodon, Seroquel is by far the best one. At lower doses, it is good for anxiety. You don't feel like a zombie on it. Obviously it helps you sleep, but at lower doses you won't be sleepy or if you just take it at bed time. Abilify and Haldol turned me into a complete zombie it was terrible. Risperdal had sexual side effects and of course the breast growth issue, but I would say Risperdal is the second best one behind Seroquel. Haldol and Abilify help paranoia big time but they also exasperate anxiety, definitely stay away from those. Geodon and Zyprexa are worse than those medicines. Geodon made me disoriented, helpless, still very paranoid. Zyprexa is probably the second worst."


"Well I have been on Apri for about a year now and believe me my sex drive is gone and my boyfriend hates it. I am glad
I am not pregnant but it hurts our relationship if you don't want to have sex. But when taking Apri I always know what day my period will come."


"I have been on Pritiq for about 2 months now and it has been going pretty good. I will say that I went on a trip and forgot my medication and within the first 2 days I slept 20 hours straight and I had bad mood changes. When I came home I went right back on it and have had no problems since. I have no appetite and have lost about 15 - 20 pounds. It makes me feel much more awake. I am on the lowest dosage and with these results I have no desire to increase my dosage."


"Well this did what it was supposed to do until it didn't. Started in June of last year and I never had any bad side effects except maybe mood swings. It helped regulate my period to where I got it at almost the same time every month and my period wasn't as bad as it used to be.
I took this pill everyday (if I ever missed it it was only once, not multiple times in a row and I didn't miss it frequently. I probably only missed a pill three times from June last year to this March) and I also took it at the same time and I still got pregnant on it."


"I'm a teen with pretty bad acne. Within two weeks my skin had cleared up tremendously. Unfortunately, then I started getting red hives all over my body due to a allergic reaction."


"It's crazy how everyone is taking meds before this easy IUD  insertion  but I know everyone is different my experience was so easy no cramps no pain I don't feel it know no side effects what so every. I've had it for a year and a half and no problems. Sex is comfortable no changes. But I didn't have my son with no pain meds before or after. I guess I have a high tolerance for pain. If you are going for the skyla I highly recommend it. It's the best!!"


"I am 59 year old female. I have sport related injuries and have been suffering arthritis pain in both knees and hip for several years. Tried not to take medication all my life. Do not drink alcohol, tried chiropractic, tried massage therapy, do yoga regularly. But the pain was taking away my ability to enjoy life constant pain is a terrible thing. I have been taking Celebrex for approximately 1 week. I am sleeping better moving better and the pain has been reduced by at least 50%. Hoping to get my active life back. FINGERS CROSSED. Good Luck to fellow pain suffers this is definitely worth trying. Work with it. Don't drink alcohol. Eat something when you take it. I am on 2x200mg and will try to get that down to 1x. I tried 1x at first   No Joy."


"On 3/23/17 I test positive for stomach flu. Phenergan didn't touch the nausea."


"Works well at keeping my phosphorus down.

I take two tablets with my average meals, I take three tablets if I eat an usually large meal. I also take one or two tablets with snacks. The only side affect I've experienced is constipation, I sometimes take a mild stool softener, not a big problem.

All medications only work if taken as prescribed on a consistent basis. It's such a small thing to do for your health."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I've been on Beyaz for almost a year, Since them I've gone through times of weight gain and loss which could just be my body's normal function. Recently I have noticed aversions to certain foods, nausea, severe migraines, and lack of sleep. I haven't noticed a change in sex drive. My skin in flawless, but recently I've had severe migraines. "


Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray (old formulation)

"This is so far the only medication that helps a lot with my condition. Unfortunately I cannot take it for long periods of time."


"My doctor gave me samples of Victoza to take along with metformin.  Started on .6 and then increased to 1.2.   I have been on it for a little over a month.  Don't know if it's working on my a1c numbers as I have not had tests yet.   I am having terrible headaches, neck hurts and fatigue all the time.  It's  making me hungry all the time, have gained 5 pounds.  But the worse side effect is welts that are red and itchy at the injection sites.  My doctor has told me to stop taking it.   Do not recommend!!   I was on Trulicity , which was working wonderful, lowered by A1c level from 8.4 to 6.1,  but cost is way to high and that's with insurance!  so back to the drawing board.  :-("


"In a period of few years I visited many doctors because of pain in my stomach. I was always hungry and felt very tired. Sometimes my belly was like a balloon without any reason. Until this doctor sent to for a blood test for helicobacter pylori and the results came out positive. I was very optimistic and was hoping this pain and problems finally stop, I got the medicine on Saturday and started the treatment on Sunday morning. After taking it for 3 days I noticed a huge results, had more energy and I was waking up fresh. A day after I started having this sweet taste in my mouth which scared me a little bit... maybe I got an infection. I was continuing taking this medicine day 7th on this treatment I got a terrible headache and anxiety,"


"My experience with Nucynta was very dis-appointing. Did not relieve pain any more than a few ibuprofen. And it made me feel tired, sleepy. I have been on many pain medicines in the quest to find something that allows me to function. This one will be at the bottom of my list, mainly due to it's poor performance for me in easing the pain / combined with sleepy, tired and a little dizzy."


"I have used Androgel and for the price have found it relatively ineffective. Once insurance ran out I could not afford it so looked for an alternative. Also I started to suffer from really bad skin problems with the Androgel and now I've found out the the FDA has issued warnings about the product."


"I am 65. I have had psoriasis and arthritis since I was 13. I was covered. Like others I had used tar, creams, PUVA , UVB in my home and ENBREL which caused many side effects.
Dreaded white flakes everywhere! Itching was just awful. 2 1/2 years ago I tried Stelara, what a wonder I cleared in 2 injections. What a joy to have clear skin and go in public and not be embarrassed. Had to stop because Medicare did not cover it. I became totally covered again worse then ever. Finally found some finical help. I have had 2 injections, all plaque is gone looks so good. I have  a great deal of redness but expect it to clear. I have had a madding itch the past few days, hope it is not a side effect. "


"I had no spotting, weight gain or acne on this pill but it did not help me with PMS."


"My name is Helen Cales. I hope I can help you make a wiser decision, because I truly care about your health and how this can effect your life. I can only write so much, so I cant exactly share my whole story, but here are the Time Line of Events: Insert May 2014. First one broke in arm October 2014. Replaced Nexplanon in November 2014. About this time started having serious panic attacks. I was nervous all the time. Shortly after I was hospitalized for suicide attacks, I felt like something was taking over my body & I had no control. After pleading my case my Nexplanon was taken out January/Feb 2015 and I have been on the road to recovery ever since. I am doing much better today, have control over my body & emotions. DO NOT USE!"


"Started off 6-7 months ago with low dose then up to 1.2 daily. Experienced mild side effects, not everyday but pushed through. Sugars in the 200`s to 170. No weight loss. Recently sugars jumped up a bit. So I increased victozia to about 1.4. Sugars climbed and the "serious" side effects occurred. The confusion and fevers I cannot have in my daily life. Stopping today, will see doc in a few days and blood work due. Not expecting blood to have significant positive changes. Injection hurts,  bruising all the time. Take metformin and alogloptin too."


"Been on Reclipsen for a few months now. Pros- lighter periods, no stomach cramps, no acne, no babies. Cons- mood swings, TERRIBLE back pain during period, lower sex drive, no weight gain (if already active)."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"It's a lot to drink but you can do it.  I used a straw and just chugged it down.  I did use the lemon flavoring packet.  It really didn't taste too bad.  My suggestion is that when you first feel an urge to go.....Go!  This stuff works.  My doctor had me take 8 oz every 30 minutes, after the first two doses it started work.  I spent the rest of the day on or near the toilet.  An hour after my last dose, I was done.  I did not have any cramping, nausea or vomiting.  Overall, not a pleasant experience, but this liquid is not too bad."


"I love this birth control. I have been taking it for a year now and I have not had any periods since! I have actually lost weight rather than gaining. It's a miracle pill."


"I had weight gain once I was use to taking this medicine In talking to other kidney transplant people that are on this medicine they have a weight gain also. My eating habits have not changed. Taking this medicine with water makes my stomach sick."


"My Doctor diagnosed me with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and put me on Cymbalta.  The first couple of weeks were a little rough with the nausea, but nothing unbearable.  I did lose a bit of weight too.  It did help with my anxiety and depression a lot.  I was on 60mg.  Now 2 years later I was in a different place in my life, did not want to be dependent on a pill, so started weaning off.  Went from 60mg to 30mg.  Then taking it every other day.... then down to 20mg.  Now is the hard part.  Dr told me from there just quit taking it - yah right.  All the blogs you read about the "brain zaps" are so true. "


"I have been taking the medication now for the past week. I have lost 3kg and I have been struggling to get past 117kg. I have had no side effects what so ever, no headaches, no nausea, any of the listed side effects what so ever. It has only been a week but so far I am very happy. Cant wait to see the next two weeks."


"A few weeks ago I began breaking out on my cheeks like crazy and it felt like I was back in my middle school days. I am 18 and recently graduated from high school and was wondering what the heck was going on. My mom and I went to see the dermatologist and he immediately recommended Epiduo and a PanOxyl 10% wash. I use a pea size amount of Epiduo at night and the PanOxyl in the morning. So far my acne and pores have been clearing up and looking great! But I have been dealing with burning and VERY dry skin. Reading other comments and advice I plan on waiting 10 minutes between cleansing, Epiduo, and moisturizing.  Seems like these side effects are common, especially dryness. It has been a week and I have seen a difference!"


"Very good."


"After more than a year of asking for extended relief (and moving up to 60mgs Percocet with 40 mgs Flexeril) I was barely able to cook a meal, take a shower, ANYTHING that required standing.
I was skeptical at first, but (hopefully I'm not jinxing myself), the ADDITION of the Butrans patch for me has been life changing. I often skip my oral doses, and I cooked TWO Christmas dinners. I cleaned my house, right now I'm painting a bathroom and bedroom, a few hours at a time.
"


"I'm experiencing extreme dizziness, hallucinations, anxiousness, insomnia and vision problems ... I am on day two of this medicine I'm discontinuing it. I can't sleep and it's making me feel worse than my illness. Calling doctor for something else. I'm terrified at this moment."


"This is my 5th injection of Victoza I have had no side effects of the medicine and my blood sugar readings have dropped from on average 250-360 down to 150. I am feeling fine so far and I up my amount to 1.2 in two more days."


"I don't really know how to rate a medicine; I just share my experience. My doctor warned me that this antibiotic is very harsh and I might feel bad during the course. However, I am taking it for 8 days, and the only side effect I encountered is a bitter taste in my mouth, but it's not a problem. I just drink a lot and chew gum when it gets REALLY bitter. I am of a slim and petite complexion (100 lb only), so I expected to have bad side effects, but I feel quite normal. Also I am eating well before taking medicines (more veggies), drink lots of water, take strong probiotics (50 billion), and drink organic KEFIR with live culture before going to bed and taking bedtime portion of Pylera."


"I had a bad injury to my neck and back due to a head on collision with a double decker bus for years I was in severe pain I was on gabapentin-morphine then along came fentanyl patches I started on 25 over 72 hours then 50, then 125 over 48 hours I could not believe the difference just a dull ache I could put up with the hot and cold flushes and slow running heart"


"I've been over weight all my life. I started recently getting really bad back pain and chest pains, I went on a scale and 287lbs! I was emotional, devastated and embarrassed! I've tried everything but I don't give nothing enough time. I don't have any patience. Tried Jenny Craig regular diets, diet pills, I had a personal trainer..nothing never worked. So started taking Fastin last Friday I'm not starving myself I'm eating fruits veggies, lots of water and so far 6 days later I've already dropped 8 lbs! I'm so happy I still have a very long way to go but I do recommend Fastin. "


"I was originally on Trisprintec and got switched to Trinessa and ever since have had nothing but problems I get a period every two weeks, I vomit all the time and have gained alot of weight.  I've been on this pill for 7 months now so my body should be used to it by now. Very unhappy."


"I found that my depression got better but my anxiety got much worse.  I eventually stopped Pristiq and switched back to Prozac."


"I am currently on Depakote. I was put on Depakote while I was in the hospital after having an acute anger episode. It worked the at first but now I am getting highly irritable for no reason and am bruising easily and it is very unusual bruising. I want to get off of it because I am having a lot of episodes. More than ever before. I have been on Abilify and Prozac and now this. Nothings working that well."


"I have been taking Ocella now for about 6 months and in those months I have experienced some weight loss as well as clearer skin. However I also have found that I have ABSOLUTELY NO sex drive. I am only 21 and before taking Ocella I had enough sex drive for me and other people, but now nothing."


"I've had this birth control since May 2013 it's the 1st of December. My doctor said after 5 months my period would go away. The first few months my cycle was normal, around September my cycles got longer and came close together. I cant remember when they began or ended. Now I just have to carry extra undies and tampons EVERYWHERE I go. Its terrible not knowing when your cycle will began and end. If my period doesn't get it together or end soon I think I will be getting this removed. My side affects are: mood swings, depression, I sleep a lot more, and I eat like a grown man fresh out of prison."


"I've been taking wellbutrin 150 SR twice a day for 3 months now, I started with 150mg the first month and 300mg from the second month. It hasn't really helped me with depression like Prozac and Lexapro did. I told my doctor that I didn't want to gain weight like I did on those drugs so he prescribed me bupropion. I have more energy, I've lost weight, but the depression is still there."


"I was on Lutera for 9 months. It was great. The only side effects i experienced were my acne clearing up and my breasts increasing a cup size. I am extremely active in my sex life and I didn't get pregnant; I trust this pill a lot. But for my last two periods I started spotting for the whole third week of pills and then having a very heavy period, so my doctor is putting me on a higher dose of a similar medicine, I'm just hoping it is exactly the same but with a normal period. Other than that I would highly recommend this birth control."


"Was prescribed Keflex (cephalexin) as treatment for strep throat. Had always been given penicillin prior with no side effects. After 1 full day of dosing I noticed a recurring itch on chest. Chest was speckled with tiny red spots and looked as if I had gotten into insulation or something similar. Went to bed and awoke to a full on rash over entire body that resembled mumps, eczema,  or chickenpox.  Not pleasant at all to see, to say nothing of the unbearable itchiness. Did not experience any anaphylaxis or tongue swelling. Prescription was switched to penicillin that morning at doctor office and rash subsided in a few days. My children have been prescribed this recently and I have not handled dosing them for fear of contact with drug."


"This medication has been a real life-saver. I had struggled with heavy depressions interspersed with hypomania for a few years before I was eventually diagnosed with Bipolar 2 Disorder, for which I was prescribed this. The initial 50mg did nothing except be an overrated sleep pill, but the boost to 300mg for bipolar depression helped begin to mellow me out, and a few weeks later I was starting to experience a life free of devastating mood swings. I've read horror stories online, but I experienced nothing of the sort (actually *lost* weight in the past few months). It's a shame there's risks with long-term use, I would happily take this forever otherwise - these past few months have been nice and happy and productive for me thanks to this."


"I have only taken Epitol for 3 days and thus far my experience hasn't been totally negative. Yes there have been side effects, including, dizziness, confusion...etc. However I am told these things will subside over time. What I do know is I am no longer afraid to live, to leave my house in fear of having a seizure that leads to a deadly outcome. I am willing to fight, I won't stop living and I think Epitol can help me greatly in that way."


Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

"Really bad reaction with me.severe side effects with little to no results."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"I am a 32 year old male and this is my second day on Nuvigil. Although I feel more alert at the start of the day, later in the day when the medicine wears off, oh boy does it wear off. I'm also feeling more hyper, moody, and an overall wanting to scream type feeling. I'm going to give it a few more days."


"Amazingly effective for numerous symptoms.  Starting this medication helped bring about the most dramatic positive changes in my life."


"Lower backache, the doctor said it was arthritis.  I have not yet done x-rays but after 2 weeks the pain has competely subsided.  So have other joint aches, which I guess I had ignored."


"I rated this medicine a 6 because I can't say it worked. I am not saying it didn't but I never had itching or really foul smell with BV, so if it went away (which I'm sure it did since I just took my last dose) I didn't notice a big difference. Now the side effects are really noticeable. I have never been sensitive with medication side effects but I seemed to have gotten a lot of the "rare" symptons, dark urine, metallic taste, different kind of discharge (no smell) fast or skipping heartbeat, dizziness,  a little disoriented (light headed), nausea and tired.  I would not like to take this medicine again. Was prescribed 2xday for 7 days 500 mg "


"I was scared prior to taking this prep because I read so many bad reviews online. I completed my Suprep two days ago and it was a breeze. No nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain. I think a lot of people get sick because they drink the prep/water too fast. I mixed my prep with Powerade White Cherry and it wasn't bad at all. The taste is really sweet, but salty as well. Probably took around 40 minutes for me to drink the entire bottle, but I had my first bowel movement before finishing the bottle. I decided to sip on the 32 oz of water after finishing the Suprep, which took an additional 2 hours. I did everything really slow, but I didn't get sick or nauseous. Get Destine!! I probably went to the bathroom 11 times. I was clean for colonoscopy!!"


"The help I received from Lamictal was outstanding.  It took a few weeks but my down cycle wasn't nearly as bad and the mania all together stopped.  In time the cycles all stopped.  BUT the side effects were too much to handle.  I started to lose hair, my fingernails were so think I broke nails typing (even on many vitamins and prescription vitamin D). I would bruise just by a bracelet resting on my arm for a few minutes and then the bruise wouldn't go away, the worst side effect was terrible circulation.  I have been on Topamax and experienced the poor circulation they talk about all the time, but this was something else entirely. I couldn't feel my finger tips and my feet had NO feeling.  My hands were ice cold all the time."


"Instantly dizzy!

Why would that be?

Scary dizzy too!"


"I Had unprotected sex the day after my period on July 1st.  Scared like crazy because I had a scare before that I made my boyfriend go to the store 12 hours later to get me plan B. (he didn't think I needed it but you never know ) I took it as soon as he bought it and had to wait a month for my next period. I kept thinking I was pregnant. But I got my period two days early and I'm currently still on my period. It's very heavy with a lot of back pain but I'm happy I got it. Thank you plan b!!"


"I have chronic Lumbar pain...residual after a surgical procedure. Without worthwhile pain management, acute...like a 7 out of 10, worse on some days. I have above average tolerance for pain. My doctor believes that what I call a 5 or 6 would probably incapacitate the average person.
I have been prescribed the whole gamut, from the steroid series every 9 months to Oxycontin.  The injections were a waste. The various opioids just made me stoned. I could still feel the pain, I simply didn't give a damn.
When I first used Tramadol (Ultram), 50mg, about 40 minutes later I notices two significant facts; I was NOT stoned. And I was NOT in pain. I have been using 50mg, 4 X daily since 2012 - no side effects, no pain. BONUS!"


"I was in a very bad car accident in 2009, needless to say I've been on pain medication since then and have been given everything from hydrocodone to fentanyl patches to OxyContin. I'm only 27 so its hard to be doped up and tired all the time. And it was either nausea or headaches all the time. My doctor put me on Endocet 10s about a year ago and they are the absolute best thing for my pain. My tolerance isn't rising quickly either. I'm very pleased so far with this medication, no negative side effects aside from very mild bathroom troubles."


"Insomnia - I only use this at night about twice a week and alternate with Ambien.  This works GREAT.  I have tried every natural herb there is and absolutely nothing works apart from Ambien and Alprazolam.  No side effects and I feel great in the morning.  Never need it during the day."


"I am 35 years old female. I had severe acne rosacea. Antibiotics, topic metronidazole and azelaic acid didn't help me. I fell in a deep depression because of look of my face. Roaccutane saved my life. My face cleared up in about a month. Big big thanks for inventors of this miracle."


"Let me just start with this: I'm an extremely anxious person. Condoms and the pill were not enough, there was too much room for error. Condoms breaking. Forgetting a pill. Whatever. So I did a lot of research and decided on the Nexplanon, and I'm in love. I have had it for about 8 months and for me, the only side effects have been slight breast tenderness and a little bit of acne. Though my periods are irregular, I have fewer cycles than before Nexplanon. My arm bruised up a bit after the insertion, but it healed up in about a week. I don't have to worry about the pills or the condoms, and it's so great. It's worth a shot! Some hormones work differently with others and you'll have to figure that out for yourself, but I love mine!"


"2 days so far. No nausea. Feel a bit out of it. Not as angry. Hungry."


"Proctofoam is the best thing that has happen to me. I had to visit the ER 10 yrs ago with hemorrhoids that bleed for 3 days.  That's when I was introduced to it and we have been together ever since.  Fabulous medication. Wish it was around before my grandma died."


"One 50mg dose, given to help me sleep in hospital, kept me up & walking the halls for 23 hours. Could not stand or sit still. Legs very restless. Now dr prescribe seroquel again, because the 0.5 mg. bid of Klonopin does not help with panic attacks. Do I try this med, since last time was like being on speed, or just get used to being a hermit?"


"Adipex has changed my life.  I was 251lbs.  My feet and hands were swelling for no reason.  All my clothes were getting too small.  It was the largest I had been in my life and I hated to look in the mirror and was mortified to see pictures of myself.  In just 6 weeks on Adipex I have lost 28 lbs.  While I'm not where I want to be, my entire outlook on life has changed.  I feel like I can really be a normal, healthy size again and shop at regular stores.  Most importantly my cloak of invisibility is fading away."


"I used Dulcolax for Women. Gentle it said, HAHA. The package said takes 6/12 hrs.
It DID NOT take that long, I began to feel the effects from 1 pill after just 2 hrs. I had been constipated for 4 days. At 2 hrs, my stomach began to hurt (took w/ food), my chest began to hurt from my pulse racing, then my back started to hurt from my horrible stomach pain. I was worried. At the 4 hr mark, I was in the bathroom, the first time was ok, so I thought problem solved. Oh no, 15 mins later I started having horrible abdominal cramps and ran to the bathroom, for a 10 minute stay. Then 15 mins after that I was in the bathroom for what I can only describe as horrific and the most intense/never-ending bowel movement of my life. Don't count on 6/12 hrs"


"So now after almost a year on the patch starting at 10mcg now at 15 mcg, doctor wanted to increase to 20 mcg but was a little nervous so I kept it the same. However, I'm thinking that I will increase to 20 next month so I can stop the tramadol all together. I hate being on tramadol. The variations of manufacturer switches make me sick I can't take mylan at all it about kills me like poison. But the patch itself is a life saver. I have a life again. The ONLY complaint I have is my Dr fought for Aetna to pay for it now they do so instead of $577 I pay $30.00 and last I get very little sleep. I have found myself sleeping literally sitting up with no idea how I got there - scary. I wake up MANY times a night I don't sleep a whole 2 hours through."


"Taking propranolol has significantly changed my life.  I was averaging one migraine per week.  It would be a two day event with nausea and stomach issues.  After starting on 80 mg, the migraines were twice a month.  Now on 120 mg they occur about once per month.  I am due for a medicine check in Feb.  I do not know if my doctor will recommend a dose increase again, but the goal is to eliminate the migraines regularly.  Missing one dose will cause a pounding, throbbing headache that may last for several hours upon taking the missed dose.  This is not doubling up on the dose!  There was some fatigue in the very beginning and very odd, vivid dreams at the start and again when the dosage was increased.  This has allowed me to live a better life!"


"I use it for feet neuropathy. First try was 600mg three times a day. Absolutely no effect or side-effect. A different doctor has me taking up to 1200mg within 6 hours as the neuropathy begins each afternoon and evening. This approach reduces the pain. Also works as a sleep aid."


"ITS OKAY. Tuesday last week (1/10/17) the starting of the END of my period and my boyfriend & I had an accident, another story of how the condom broke, he was worrying so much and looking up things on Google and so was I (I was mainly looking at these reviews because a lot of you ladies helped me to stay calm and that it would be OK) I would stray away from Google because you don't know what to believe!!! Anyway, we were both on edge until TODAY 1/15/17 I felt my lower back go into pain mode and I went to the bathroom and surely enough, MY PERIOD STARTED AGAIN! I cannot express how grateful I am for Plan B and for another chance. I'm going to go get on Birth Control sometime this week. If you aren't on it, please get on it & be SAFE!"


"Effectively controlling my psoriasis like nothing I've ever tried and I experience little to no side effects (mild bruising and redness at injection site). The shot is slightly painful and it takes a lot of working up courage when I stick myself with it."


"Within 4 months of having the maximum dose once a week, I was pain free!  I inject myself weekly with the pen and together with Methotrexate, the Crohns and rheumatoid arthritis are simply bad memories now."


"Okay so I'm only 16... And when i started getting the symptoms of a yeast infection if really scared me. I've had a boyfriend for about 2 years now and we just became sexually active not that long ago. We were both virgins when we started having sex but I was still worried. So I went to the doctor, she said that everything looks fine and it even looks like a mild case of a yeast infection. She recommended that I go get an over the counter prescription. So if course knowing any women in the world I wanted it go as soon as possible. The burn and itch of it seemed unbearable by the time I got home,  later that night and took a shower then put the applicator in around 11:00pm I slept with it in and the next morning felt 110% better!!!"


"I started taking this drug in 2015 when I was diagnosed with SLE. It did wonders! For my pain and stiffness and inflammation in my joints. It also slightly helped the rash I developed on my face. About three months after starting use I noticed that I was losing an amazing amount of hair.  I don't with this for about a month thinking that it would just go away that it was a change of my hormones or something of the like but that was not the case. The hair loss continued until I had lost about 45% of my hair. I went off at this drug in December 2015 it is now May 2017 and I have finally gotten most of my hair back to the length I can be happy with."
