"So I ended up at the emergency room for severe upper hip pain - no injury to speak of and they prescribe Norco. Dr. explain it is sciatic nerve pain which originated in the back and radiated into the hip and thigh area. Nevertheless this drug did absolutely nothing except make me rather "woozy" but the pain is still very much there. Luckily I have ibuprofen on hand so when the Norco wore off I took that instead. I won't say it worked like a charm but it was certainly better than Norco. Hopefully I feel better in the morning if not I guess I'll be going to urgent care since it's the weekend :("


"I am the type of person that HATES taking medicine. I got BV about 3 months ago and was prescribed metro. I had always suspected I had an allergic reaction to it, but figured that the cream wouldn't induce it. Boy, was I wrong. I had pain for about 2 months after initially using it (yet, it apparently cleared it up according to lab results). About 2 weeks ago, I relapsed and got BV again (30% of women will relapse after 3 months of clearing BV).

I was prescribed Clindamycin orally twice a day for 7 days and wow, it cleared it right up! I started to feel better after the 4th day. I had very light side effects like a minor yeast infection and light indigestion about 20 minutes after taking my medicine. I also took 2 probiotics a day."


"My girlfriend and I recently got on methadone. We finally had enough of the sickness and all the other things that comes along with being an addict. Methadone has truly changed my life. We now have a baby on the way. This seriously is a blessing. It's so wonderful we both are doing great."


"I'm 29 years old...(Mother of 2 boys) I lost my grandma (who raised me) on June 10th (My birthday). She was my everything. This is the first time I've experienced losing someone this close to me. I've had a very difficult time dealing with is, crying everyday....and it has affected me at work with having less patience for things...anxiety, etc. Which I already had anxiety at night before she ever passed away. I've been on Celexa for 5 days and I haven't cried since then. It has made me feel more calm....more understanding of things. My anxiety has subsided a great deal....the only down side is I'm having a little bit of insomnia which I know is a side effect. I'm optimistic about the future now. "


"I developled stubborn acne in my 40's and this is the ONLY thing that doesn't irritate my skin and actually works."


"Due to a neck injury and cervical spine fusion I have restless nights sleep. I wake often. I have take the meds for 3 nights and it has allowed me to have a full 6 hours of sleep without waking. I feel so much better in the morning have sleep, I feel less overall body pain and am able to get more done in the day. I am a little drowsy for a little while when I wake up but it goes away. Getting more sleep is very beneficial in many ways."


"I got this bc a few months after having my daughter, I've had it for about 2 years now. I love the fact that I don't have periods with it. but the bad part is I exercise at least 4 times a week for around 2 hours at a time and I eat a very healthy diet and I can not loose the weight I have put on with this bc. I've also had horrible mood swings"


"At my job I needed medication that would last for up to two shifts or more 16 to 20 hours a day .I have been taking Hysingla ER 40 mg tablet, what a big difference. "


"One week on, started full dose yesterday. 30m.

No side effects, and no haziness.

I get slightly dizzy but doesn't interfere with walking.

I have tried 3 others before this, And each time I had flu symptoms, couldn't leave the bathroom, couldn't work or take care of my children.

This medicine has been nothing but great for me, I haven't had a headache or the tremors for a few days which is already life changing! I can focus, and I have slowly realized that my mind is quieting down:) if nothing has worked for you, please give this a try! No addiction to it they say..

I'm excited that I feel this great:) I can't wait to see what next week and the week after is. I'm looking forward to tomorrow, which is a foreign feeling.

Good luck:)"


"I take a small amount, maybe 1/4 cup, of applesauce with my niacin or Niaspan at night and have no flushing. It also works with a half of an apple.  It must be the pectin in the apples that stop the flushing but it works 100% of the time for me.  But I've been having problems at night --- indigestion, a weird feeling in my chest, itching and sleeplessness, so I am going to start taking it in the morning."


"I have been in pain for so very long that I thought there was no way anything could help.  My latest painful foray was when I pulled a muscle in my shoulder.  I used Voltaren the first time and it took almost all the pain away. The second time I used it, I was pain free.  I was thrilled."


"Great product! It does what it says it does."


"I love this medication for the positive affects as far as helping my depression and such. I have been on it for over 10 years. I thought about getting off of it a few years ago and had horrible withdrawal symptoms. It is almost like electricity running through your head and face. If I miss two doses I am flat on my back sick. I can't keep my eyes open because of the visual disturbances. Its like all of my senses are heightened and when I move my head it almost feels like everything kind of moves with a short shift. Needless to say. I didn't get off of it. It is really strange. The withdrawal  symptoms lasted more than a week and didn't improve until I started taking it again."


"I am new to Lunesta I was taking 10mg of Ambien until it stopped working. Dr started me out on 1mg,  which didn't do much,  as I need as much stuff that would knock a horse out. Very high tolerance. I don't know if I should try 2mg?  Got the yucky taste in mouth and its still there this am. Any suggestions?"


"Had every side effect in the beginning. Almost quit taking it. But I am so glad I stuck it out. After 9 months of being on the medication I am finally starting to feel normal again. I begin taking this after I had my second baby I suffered terrible anxiety and generalised anxiety disorder. I am still breastfeeding so that was sent me your consideration however I haven't noticed anything changing in my child whilst feeding. I am so glad I continue taking this and I have to say to anyone who is thinking about stopping due to the side effects at the start keep at it it will only be a couple of months before you start to feel better. Lexapro seriously saved my life!"


"I have been on for 1 month and a half.  My period lasted for 10 days, then I came on again in the same month for another 10 days. That was all new to me. Sex drive has increased. My period is still irregular so I'm waiting on my next period.  Slight headaches and I feel sick sometimes. This is my first birth control and I haven't been on it long. Things may change. Not sure."


"Worked okay."


"Methadone worked very well for my chronic pain especially the strange gnawing pain I had ALL OVER. I was on 30 mg of ocycodone for 5 years (DDD L5-S1 fibro, neuropathy, neck fusion) but I couldn't come to terms with the stigma and knew something was seriously wrong with my body. I ended up doing my own research and found out I was suffering from gout throughout my body. My PM Dr worked with me to get me off Methadone by prescribing me didulud ER..even with that I had hellish withdrawal symptoms! Took me a month and a half and was only on it for 2 and half months. Great med for pain though. Just make sure you're in it for long haul. Never felt those withdrawals and I weaned off oxy 30s with less pain."


"For me this prep solution was a good alternative. I liked that it was just about like drinking water so I could just chug it down, get it over with. I bit down on a couple of lemon wedges afterward to kill the very strong after taste. It was a lot of liquid to drink in a short time and getting up in the middle of the night to do it again was not my favorite part. I am pretty certain, however,  that I am well prepared for an effective scope.  Also, I had minimal cramping and discomfort after ingestion which was nice. Overall, I much prefer it over the preparations I have used in the past."


"I've been on Enbrel for 2 years and went from being bed bound and using a walker to playing on my company's soft ball team. It has motivated me to live and has allowed me to consider having children now. My husband and I are really excited Enbrel has worked well. The only problem is that I continue to get oral ulcers and bruise easily. I am now having cold symptoms. "


"works better than armour thyroid"


"I have been on Copaxone for 14 years.  I have been fortunate in not having any more major flare ups and have remained fairly stable.  I do have the tiredness and lack of energy at times, but sometimes feel so good I can almost forget I have MS.  The first 12 years were the 20 mg daily injections and had the usual problems with site injection lumps and itching.  I was changed to the 40 mg 3 times per week approximately two years ago and recently went to two injections per week because the insurance coverage is changing.  I am going from my regular insurance to Medicare with a supplemental plan and will not have to pay $4,000 per year out of pocket.  In my opinion I felt the best doing the 20 mg daily than taking 40 mg 3 times/week."


"Started the drug for anxiety related to perimenopause.  Hot flashes have only increased in number and severity.  The meds don't seem to do anything to help."


"I have sensitive skin and using this product resulted in a bad allergic reaction. I used this product for three days and after the third day of using it I had bumpy red rashes on my face. Would not recommend if you have sensitive skin, it really messed up my skin. :("


"Have  to take this when I am on cruises or would have motion sickness. 1st 5 yrs I took this no prob. The 6th cruise   my throat closed up and could hardly swallow while eating.  It dawned on me to try prilosec.  It enabled me to swallow.  This has happened the last 5 years over a 5 year stretch of cruises."


"There are SO many bad reviews of this BC (I know, I read them lol) that I just had to share my experience with it. For background, I am 26 and have been on birth control since I was 14 because I had problems ovarian cysts. I was on Nuvaring for 4 years (& LOVED it) until I got married (They say you can't feel it, but I did & it hurt) Anyways, I did my research decided on Nexplanon because it was less invasive. I've had it for 6 months now & I had a short period the month after insertion and absolutely NO bleeding since! I love it! Remember everyone has DIFFERENT experiences with this just like any other medicine. If you want an effective long term bc that you don't have to worry about, give it a chance!"


"I have been on Qsymia for about 20 days and I have lost 12lbs. (I'm 5'11, 200lbs to start, now at 188lbs). I have played sports my entire life and recently quit, so the fact that I am still losing weight without as much exercise is amazing (Waitressing and housecleaning in college keep me active). I normally wouldn't take the time to write a review like this but I am so surprised by the results. My appetite is gone. I don't even realize that I haven't eaten since breakfast until I find myself wanting a nap around 4pm; then I'll remember I forgot to grab lunch! This NEVER happened before Qsymia. Long story short, I would recommend this 100%. Feel free to ask any questions!"


"If I had to guess, 90% of the positive reviews on here are written by stock shareholders of this product. Because if they were actual users they'd realize how inaccurate and inconsistent dosing is which makes this drug essentially useless. Too many factors effect the dosing of this drug which is not good when dosing a medication such as insulin which can easily kill you if taken too much of."


"I have been wearing this patch for one week now. I am on my 4th patch. They keep coming off in the shower. I am very athletic and like to shower 2X a day. This is not a sustainable product because of that alone. I have also felt zero relief with this patch on for a week. I did call the company and they replaced a full box for me"


"I've taken most of the statins.  I ALWAYS ended up with leg cramps.  At 44, I had to have a Stent placed due to a 95% blockage.  And that's when I started seeing my cardiologist.  Upon hearing of the leg cramps, he ran a simple blood test and told me that my vitamin D was extremely low (4) and the real cause of the cramps.   I now take 50k iu of vitamin D 3x weekly.  I have NEVER had a cramp on Crestor, except when I forgot to take my vitamin D.  As soon as I started the D back up, the cramps ceased.  Even at 50k iu 3x weekly, my regulnar blood tests indicate that my vitamin D is now in the normal range (>29).  And my cholesterol went from over 300 to down around 150.

If u have cramps, I recommend the D check."


"I have been using Flomax for 5 months. I can't drink tea or coffee from noon till night, when I get up to pee x3 a night, it slows my flow. If I don't drink tea or coffee I get up 3 x with a much better flow. I have frequent erections, some dry, some explosions. If I didn't use Flomax I would have trouble urinating."


"Serious Sinus infections for years.  Ciprodex drops in nose and oral Ciprofloxacin totally cured the problem.  no side effects,,,,,I am totally ecstatic !!!!"


"started trulicity one month ago.  daily blood levels are very positive.  side effects have been bothersome.  very tired second and third day after the shot.  can not overeat or stomach discomfort. woozy when first stand up.  when i was taken off all meds i felt great but my numbers were high (over 200) in morning.  I am going to try the med until i get my a1c reading in december."


"I have had a couple bouts of cysts, it is the reason why I got on bc. I took it regularly for months and it did fine as a bc I suppose. It regulated my period, made them a little less severe. However, it didn't necessarily help prevent the cyst growth. I also had some episodes on my period while on this birth control and they were still debilitating. I also experienced a ruptured cyst while on the medication. When I finally got to the gyno we decided to have me take bc on a constant basis, skipping the inactive to try to further reduce cyst possibilities and eliminate period. However, this has caused me to have thick brown discharge EVERY day for 2 months. We are now trying a different pill- hopefully that helps."


"The first month of taking chateal was fine. After a month went by I started getting acne which I never had, my mood swings were very uncontrollable, I became very very depressed, and very emotional. The side effects aren't the best"


"I promised myself I would share my experience with this after I tried it. So here it goes.I grew up the skinny kid all through my life. I was in XC and track, and then I bought this stuff and let it sit on my shelf because the sleeping side effects were too strong. After a while I tried to give it another shot. I eventually got over the tired side effects and kept up with it. I put on weight so fast, it was scary. I went from 140 to an overweight 190 in a matter of months. I'm a 5'9 male and for the first time in my life people were calling me chubby and fat. If this is what your looking for, then you found it, but be careful of what you wish for. I can't fit into any of my clothes. My belly and face are so big now, I don't feel like my self"


"I have been on Synthroid since 2006. I have had significant weight gain and can't get rid of it. This medicine has helped with the cold chills and irritability."


"Was on Metformin 1000 / 2x day and 70 insulin Lantis. Started Invokana and immediately lost 5 lbs. After a few months on same dose, have lost about 15 lbs.

Yes, I admit there are some side effects, such as frequent urination and some yeast issues. However, this is to be expected. Being on this medication, we are told we are to drink over 100 ounces of water every day. I agree and then some. Keeps things flowing, but this is the way it works. No GI issues from this med, however Metformin does cause some GI issues when skipping a dose or two.

Remember, too, that this - or any- medication is not for everyone. We need to try different ones to find the one right for our body. I think I have found mine!"


"Preferred to others."


"Yea! Lets put Antifree in our body! Doctor want me to take it. Look up the inactive crap your putting in your body What are the ingredients in Victoza? Propylene glycol! Phenol (paint stripper) No thanks. Its all money and killing us!

Active Ingredient: liraglutide

Inactive Ingredients: disodium phosphate dihydrate, propylene glycol, phenol and water for injection"


"I have just ended my 3 month on adipex, I lost a total of 55 lbs and now starting my six months on belviq. My starting weight was 361 in March of 2015 and now I currently weiGH 305. I have read that many used belviq and have lost weight and some haven't so I guess I just have to wait and see how it works for me. I do work out now and eat healthy my biggest fear is gaining the weight back while isbeing off adipex. My question is did anyone start adipex and then go on belviq? If so what was your experience. Will update monthly after my weigh ins :)"


"This product is strong. I mean STRONG. I only use it as a last resort when other, gentler remedies fail. I never need to take more than one pill, even though the box suggests up to 3. And I only take it if I expect to be near a bathroom for the entirety of the next day, because the laxative effect lasts about 24 hours. I make sure to drink plenty of water (or one of those sports/electrolyte drinks) to avoid dehydration. The only side effect I've noticed is chills. Many of the pink "women's laxatives" contain the exact same active ingredient as Dulcolax, so if you're avoiding one, check the labels very carefully before you buy the other."


"I got the Mirena inserted on the 1st September 2015 and the procedure was painless and quick BUT I have been bleeding heavily ever since it has been 6 weeks straight bleeding heavily and there's even big clots in the bleeding. I am so uncomfortable it's not even funny. I actually thought this product will solve my heavy periods problem but honestly it has made my life a living hell. I contacted my Gynae and he prescripted some anti-antibiotics when I finish that course if the situation doesn't change I am definitely going to take it out. I can't live like this really"


"After about a month and a half, with both psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis, I don't think Otezla has helped either condition for me.  Side effects have been minimal;  very mild diarrhea and some limited loose stools.  Joints seem the same to slightly worse, patches seem the same.  After the fight I had to put up for insurance approval,.....the results are a huge disappointment thus far.  Will continue to four months. This is my very first, non-topical, med."


"The only problem, besides the aftertaste, is that I find I need to go to bed within 10 minutes of taking the medicine or the sleepy effect just doesn't happen and I'm left tossing and turning the rest of the night."


"Terrible. Nothing but bleeding since day one and I've had it for 7 months. I fed up with it and getting it removed."


"I began taking Plaquenil 6 weeks ago and I am pleased with it.  I'm now seeing the benefits and my Rheumatologist says that I should continue to get even better over the next 3 months. Honestly I'm okay with where I'm already at.   The biggest surprise is that I'm receiving benefits that I didn't get from 20mg/day of Prednisone!  The hardest part was when I first began Plaquenil. You initially experience side effects without any benefit but you just have to hang in there.  The side effects start to improve significantly after 2 weeks. My side effects were nausea, loose stools, vomiting and temporary changes in vision (full eye exam confirmed that everything is fine.) I would highly recommend this medicine!"


"I have only been on Metformin 5 days and I already see the difference in my symptoms. I have more energy and already lost 1.5lbs. Before, it took me a year to lose 10lbs. I have mild gastrointestinal discomfort but well worth it. It seems to help with food cravings. I used to drink 5 cups of coffee in the morning and I am down to only one without any caffeine withdrawal symptoms. I also don't crave sugar or high carb foods. I have a healthy snack in between meals to prevent blood sugar drops such as an apple, berries, or carrots. I would recommend this to anyone suffering from PCOS."


"My 17 year old son has had severe acne on his face, chest, back and very oily hair for several years.  He started taking Claravis two weeks ago and the results are amazing already.  The acne on all areas is clearing and his hair looks great.
We are noticing changes in his self confidence already; wanting to fix his hair, will shave face (wouldn't shave to hide acne), and smiling more.  The only negative is pain in his elbows.  So far, we love this medicine.  One last thing, I took Accutane 25 years ago for acne and haven't had a problem with it since."


"I'm a 15 year old girl and I've been using this product for about 2 years now. I used to sweat in my underarms so badly that I'd have huge pit stains no matter if it was hot outside or not. I started wearing only baggy t-shirts to school because I was so uncomfortable. Then my doctor prescribed Hypercare and it truly works wonders. I put it on at night before I go to bed, and it burns, tingles, and itches a little, but it's definitely worth it. The next day I don't sweat AT ALL. Now I can wear cute clothes and I don't feel gross or uncomfortable! I love this product!"


"I have had IBS D for most of my adult life. No one could figure it out. I didn't eat while at school because I was afraid of the results. I was super skinny until I was 30. Hard to believe it took doctors that long to figure it out. I went from Doctor to Doctor. Some telling me it "was all in my head". Others saying it was a result of my diet. I switched my diet, I meditated, I did everything I could but no joy. Finally I met a doctor who understood exactly what I was going through. He put me on a regimen of loperamide, lomotil and most importantly librax. What a difference. I can honestly say my life has completely changed. The only problem is librax tests positive for benzodiazepines, which make you fail drug tests."


"I started taking Tri-Sprintec because I developed horrible acne all over my face. Now, almost 2 years later, skin has improved dramatically. I don't get hormonal acne anymore around my mouth and on my chin.

However, I STILL get acne, much less, but I still constantly have at least a few on my face. And if I stop using my acne cream, I break out all over. So, birth control helps, but it isn't the cure for my acne.

But, the side effects are so horrible, that I've decided to quit. The side effects I am POSITIVE are from Tri-sprintec (through a process of elimination) include constant postnasal drip (phlegm, clearing throat, stuffy nose, plugged and popping ears), really bad sore throat, nausea (even a year later), stomach aches, and dry throat"


"I've been on Nuvaring for about 6 weeks. The first month was perfectly fine! The only problem I had was it would pop out during sex, which is actually a normal occasion. You can even take it out before you are getting ready to have sex as long as you put it back in within 3 hours.

My problems with it didn't start until a few days after I inserted my second month Nuvaring. I became so emotionally unstable. I cried for two days in a row over nothing and would become irrationally angry with my boyfriend over nothing. Plus all this negative attitude and constant stress about it led to some serious stress eating.

It was a great birth control at first. I had no bleeding, cramps or body aches with it but these mood swings are killing me."


"I served in the middle east during the Iraq war. The weather in the desert was over 130 degrees, so I developed eczema. My mom was a nurse in Mexico and told me about diprosone. I tried it and it worked. So I have never looked back."


"The first 4 weeks on Prozac were awful. I had zero appetite, vivid nightmares, horrible night sweats, and a very short temper. But all of a sudden when week 6 rolled around, I felt like a new person! I was the "old me" again. It felt amazing to hear my family tell me they could notice the change in me. I'm a much more productive person now! I'm thriving at work, and I'm so thankful I found this drug."


"I've been on it for a week at 5 mg. I take it right after dinner so my stomach is nice and full, and have had no experience of nausea. I haven't noticed much in the reduction of anxiety but it's too early. Had stomach aches the first few days but those went away, and feel hot constantly but otherwise the side effects have been pretty manageable. Hopefully it starts to do more in the way of anxiety as I am starting 10 mg in one week!"


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"I am on day 3 out of 14 and I am sooo miserable. I don't want to continue it, but I have too :'( . I pass really stinky gas, horrible diarrhea, nausea, feeling tired most of the time, but worse of all is the weird taste in my mouth. Oh god, when I wake up to it... Probably the reason why I feel so nauseated. Drinking a lot of water, eating CANDY (tiny m&m that comes in bottles. For some reason, it helped me..weird, I know.), and listerine pocketpaks all help me with the disgusting nasty taste so far. I hope it's worth it. I give it a five because of the side effects but the treatment better be a 10..I sure hope it's worth it :'((("


"I have been taking Sertraline for the last 12 weeks (5 weeks at 25 MG and 7 weeks at 50MG).  I have given Sertraline 10 out of 10 because since week 7 I was feeling perfect - back to my old self.  however over the last couple of days I have felt my anxiety creeping back in and had my first adrenaline surge in 6 weeks during the night last night.  I am now terrified my anxiety is returning like it was before and don't know what to do.  Has anyone else experienced a "blip" at this stage and how long did it last?  I don't really want to increase my dose but don't want to return to the way things were.  I was feeling so happy and back to my old self for 4 weeks and now am feeling so disappointed.  Can anyone give me some positive advice please?"


"Contrave had the opposite intended effect on me. I had been dieting and exercising with no help and lost 70 lbs, my appetite was down and I had not cheated for months. Then my doctor pleased with my success decided to prescribe me Contrave to give me that extra little push. This was a mistake, I already had a suppressed appetite due to a strict diet that I had grown used to, within 1 week of taking Contrave I was cheating on my diet, my cravings were going through the roof. Like most people it did make me sick occasionally but that wasn't the big issue. I took Contrave for around 2 months and ended up gaining about 20 lbs. back that I had lost. It may help with starting a diet, but if you're already losing weight without it DO NOT take it."


"Mobic was prescribed to me by my podiatrist after finding that I have Posterior Tibial Tendonitis, Osteoarthritis in my big toe joint, and a heel spur all on my left foot.  I find that 7.5 mg Mobic has really helped with the Osteoarthritis and other aches and pains that I have developed in the past few years.  I find it best to take before bed, as I have a 4 month old daughter to take care of.  Throughout the day I am taking Tramadol, wrapping, and icing my foot for pain relief.  I find that the combination works really well.  In the middle of the night I am ready and able to take care of my baby girl."


"I got the Skyla IUD in about 2 hours ago. Some background on me: I'm 21, 5'4, 125 lbs, and childless! I've never been on ANY long term medications, only antibiotics when I've gotten sick. Never been on birth control.
I have taken plan B three times in the past 5 years and I have no adverse side effects from that. I was extremely nervous getting this because of the horror stories. Insertion was fine. The pinch on your cervix gets your attention, and then it feels like one or two big cramps when they measure the uterus and then insert the IUD. And then light cramping after. I felt a little hot and a little light headed afterwards and just lay there for about 5 minutes. Slight cramping now but it's barely noticeable! I'm so calm and relieved!"


"I will have been on Aviane for two years as of next month. Once my prescription ends next month, I find it is time to get off of it. Its done its job preventing pregnancy and I do have shorter periods. However, I have gained 20 pounds in the past two years, went from a 34 C to a 38 D (on the brink of DD), acne has stayed the same and I have experienced mood swings, anger, and depression. "


"This pill has really worked for me. It's the only BC I've ever been on and it's been close to two years of no worries. The first week I started taking it, I had to pee like crazy. I've gained some weight, but I don't know if I can blame it on the pill."


"I give this one a 4 because when I take it I feel the pain but its more like a pressure not pain. I know the pain is there but I can keep moving. But when it starts to wear off, I feel the pain greater. "


"This is the best medicine I have ever been prescribed, I am fully awake all the time. I have never had a hard time sleeping.  I work at a power plant, the only thing I notice, is sometimes my crew mates avoid me, other than that its great."


"I have tried a number of herbs, supplements, OTC and prescription medications for insomnia, including hops, passionflower, valerian, kava kava, melatonin, GABA, 5-HTP, L-tryptophan, Benadryl, Unisom, Klonopin, Ativan, and Ambien, and have found that trazodone is the best for me.  The herbs and supplements weren't strong enough, melatonin gave me horrible nightmares, OTC sleep aids made me too drowsy the next day, and the benzos and Ambien stopped working.  I take 50 mg of trazodone before bed and fall asleep in about half an hour.  It's true I am a bit drowsy the next morning but it soon goes away and the drowsiness is less intense than the drowsiness from the other kinds of medicines I have tried.  Trazodone is also very inexpensive."


"When I first started I was experiencing anxiety disorder and panic attacks.  I was informed that it may get worse when I started taking the medication - hmm not really something you want to hear when you want to get better.

I feel just as anxious now and I did before taking the medication, and even in those first weeks.

I have gradually went from 10 - 30mg dosage per day, and this is nearly the end of my 9th month on the medication.

I really don't think people can tell whether it does anything or not - there are far too many variables involved to get a confirmed truth on psychoactive medications.  I think we are being sold on ' I believe ' in a pill."


"I've used Abreva before but it didn't work as affectively, perhaps that was because I used it probably 2 days after my cold sore had already began to swell up/blister. This time around, I woke up to work and felt that tingling feeling on my top lip - knowing it was a cold sore. I treated it with my Burt's Bees chapstick throughout the day at work. It wasn't until late evening when I did a Target run to get Abreva. I applied it right away and probably 3x that night. It's been 3 days and my cold sore has reached the point where my blister could be picked off and healing. I applied it at least 5x a day, every 3hrs. I'm very satisfied! My cold sore skipped the whole stage where it plumps up, like a BIG BUMP on my lip, went straight to the blist"


"I was on ortho tri cyclen previous for years and my gyno decided to put me on tri sprintec worst thing ever! Bad side effects awful insomnia and felt so anxious and moody for 3 months, something I never felt before. I had to go back on ortho bc of the side effects"


"Medication worked great now insurance decided to stop covering it"


"I was given this brand instead of TriNessa which upset me but I decided to give Tri-Sprintec a chance. That was a regret that I severely paid for. I read all the reviews and everything and decided to have my own experience but everything horrible that could have went wrong with the side effects, went wrong. I had frequent urination like no other but no UTI. I had to get up every hour or two in the middle of the night to use the restroom or else my bladder was going to pop. My hormones caused so much emotional roller coasters for me and I have never experienced such high levels of emotions before. I was crying, screaming, things I would have never done. Not to mention, it gives you migraines like no other and I will never try this brand ever"


"Weight gain very rapid. It'd rather deal with constipation than the weight gain. "


"I have never felt so depressed as I am now while on this birth control. I am usually a very happy person, but these pills have turned me into an emotional, moody, and easily agitated woman. I have been on it for 5 months and decided to stop it today. In addition to my uncontrollable emotions, this pill has caused severe migraines to the point of vomiting, increase in acne, sleep deprivation, and lack of motivation. My periods are still heavy and I do still experience the same amount of cramping I did when I was not on any birth control. My periods are also still not regulated; some months I have skipped it completely. I am hoping that these side effects don't last after discontinuing the pill, as I've read on many other reviews."


"It's great for the pain and other symptoms! It really does help it's just really expensive, even with insurance and a discount card. Hint hint to the company!... Not everyone can afford an $80 prescription every month...."


"Im a 19 year old male. I struggled through school my whole life but still tested past most my classmates. I was diagnosed with ADHD last year and was on a different medication that really didn't work and then a month ago my doctor prescribed Vyvanse and it has changed my life so much. I recommend that every person with  ADHD try it out. Its amazing. The only real side effect I have is I'm a little more irritable."


"Got kyleena inserted two weeks ago. I just want to clarify- the insertion is painless. It took less than two minutes. If you have a good doctor, he or she will warn you when you're about to cramp so you can expect it. Yes there are two big cramps that you feel because they're dilating you and putting something up there. I was fine after, walked around, went shopping, etc. Now two weeks later I'm experiencing severe cramps that are almost like painful contractions. Also having light brown bleeding..Will stick it out though, this birth control is brainless my body just has to get used to it."


"I've tried everything. Nothing else ever worked for my anxiety, depression, sweaty palms, lack of energy, etc. I consider Xanax a miracle drug because of misuse. Many people who really need these are having a hard time obtaining them and that is just wrong. I believe if someone has a medical history of anxiety and depression they should not be denied the help they need. Nothing else works for me. I've been switched from Valium to Klonipin to Buspar Zoloft, Paxil, Lexapro, etc. only to suffer worse than before. This truly is a beneficial medicine to those who need it."


"My doctor prescribed me Levaquin, 750 mg for 7 days) after amoxycylin didn't do the trick. I had the sinus infection for almost a month at this point, and was willing to try anything. I took the Levaquin with prednisone the first night, and had an intense anxious reaction to the combo - my pharmacy recommended I stop the prednisone, so I did. The anxious feeling subsided, and within 12 hours, I could feel my head pressure go away. However, on the second day, and until now (on the 5th day) I've slowly felt new side effects. Mainly, fatigue, achy knees and shoulders, and I wake up in the morning feelig like im burning from the inside out. I would recommend to help sinus infections,  but warning, the side effects are real. Hoping they go away!"


"I have been on Belviq for 1 month and love it..The first week was hard, because I was put of it, had muscle aches, and just didn't feel right..After week 2 I felt great and now I have lost 20 lbs, which probably isn't healthy, but I had to force myself to eat..I noticed when I am hungry I am going to healthy foods rather than junk."


"I've been pleasantly surprised. Been taking about 4 weeks. Still light up a couple a day but they taste so bad that I soon put them out. I've had some nausea and unpleasant taste in my mouth, also some pretty vivid dreams.  But I seem to have more energy. Have also experienced the difficulty with concentration.  But for the first time ever I really think I'm going to stop completely!  I thought it was all an addiction to nicotine but I've realized now how many of the cigarettes I smoked were mere habit.....or to try to relieve stress."


"After only 3-4 days I was immediately better. I couldn't believe it because my doctor had put me on all sorts of medicines before this one and Buspar SAVED my life! The only side effect I noticed with it was that 30 minutes after taking it I was a little dizzy but it went away after a half hour and I was finally stress free with no panic or anxiety attacks."


"Okay, I'll do pros and cons here because there are plenty to say for both:
Pros: Cleared up my acne tremendously! I only broke out slightly around my period, but other than that I was the clearest than I had been since puberty! Also, my breasts went up about half a cup size, which is always fun. In terms of weight, I didn't notice much of a difference, neither loss or gain.
CON: It made me horribly depressed. It was a gradual slump, but after about 5 months on it, I went from being bubbly, social, and dedicated student athlete to someone who didn't want to do much but sit in bed and sleep all day. I was still sociable, but it took effort. I finally stopped Gianvi and was back to normal in a month. Everyone's different, but be careful on this medicine."


"Unfortunately, sutent did not work on me, I used 2 cycles without any positive results."


"I have Major Depressive Disorder, Anxiety, and severe ADHD. I took Wellbutrin for four days and at first it was fine then I quickly developed hot flashes and eventually started freaking out and having unrelenting suicidal thoughts. Guess it just didn't work for me, but it didn't make me tired."


"Previously on Rozex which worked well for reducing flushing and worked a little for bumps but still had lots of bumps so GP prescribed Soolantra. By day five my skin was really revolting with lots of spots which I’ve not really had had & I was flushing terribly again. By about day 7 my skin began to clear and has continued to improve. My skin is much smoother and blackheads which have plagued me for years are almost totally gone and pores are defiantly much smaller. I’m on week three and am happy with progress so far BUT I am struggling to control the flushing again, which Rozex seemed to take control of. I’m going to give it a full three months and if I don’t see an improvement in flushing too I may ask my GP if I can use the Rozex too."


"The Maxalt-MLT self-dissolving tab worked wonders for me.  At a time when my doctor was trying to determine the most-effective treatment form my migraine headaches, this medicine was a God-send.  My doc gave me samples of various triptan meds and I was to try one out at the onset of every migraine.  Of the 5-6 different samples I was given, Maxalt-MLT worked the fastest & had the least amount of side-effects. I was amazed. Unfortunately, my insurance would not cover it and I had to settle with sumatriptan. Sumatriptan worked, but it took about an hour and I just remember feeling really weird after taking it. Anyway, if/when my migraines start again- Maxalt is what I want."


"I was with my paterner and the condom broke and she's on birth control but we were scared because she should have been ovulating around that day or so so we went straight to Walmart and she took it three hours after 2 weeks later the period is rough but we'be never wanted to see one so bad"


"I haven't had a cold sore since my teenager years. When I looked in the mirror yesterday morning I was in shock to see one on my lip. It was just the beginning of a cold sore. I immediately remember seeing a ad for Abreva and it claimed to heal sores fast!  I had nothing to lose and knew my Garth Brooks concert was coming up in two days.  Knowing my friends and family there would be pictures of my smile everywhere. The product was amazing.  Two days using it and its pretty much all gone! Wow. It was a miracle worker! Thank you Abreva.  It was easy to use and couldn't believe how fast it worked!  Ready for my pictures in my all time favorite Garth Brooks."


"I've been using this for about 8 months my periods up until the 6th month were regular some didn't come until the 3rd or 4th day on the placebo pills but then they got lighter and lighter this month I haven't bled at all it makes me nervous but I've heard this is normal. Other than that I've had no other issues."


"I had a metabolic reaction-severe. In less than a month I gained 20lbs and my cholesterol was raised to a high level. I have always had low cholesterol, so my psychiatrist took me off of it."


"I used bydureon seven weeks before I stopped because of the lumps at each injection site. My doctor said they would go away. It's been three weeks since I stopped and I still have all seven lumps. This is ridiculous. No shot should leave lumps like that."


"Good product! Takes my terrible Sinus and Ear Pain right away! I do need to remember though to use it at night because the only side effect I get is drowsiness. I do take Ativan and Zyrtec as well, and it does interact with them both, causing CNS Depression so that could explain the Fatigue."


"I wanted to write a review because I was skeptical after reading all of the negative reviews from people. I am a 24 year old female who is unable to take birth control pills because it makes my blood pressure high.

Insertion was easy, I had it done on my period and was given misoprostol to inset the night prior. About an hour prior to insertion I took 3 aleve. Insertion was uncomfortable, but by no means horrifying. I would say a 4 maybe a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the most painful).

I've had some slight cramping afterwards, nothing worse than what I would have on a normal period. I've had my skyla for 11 days now, and have no cramping. I do have some irregular spotting though."


"I have been on Celexa for 16 days now and my anxiety, mood, depression and panic are markedly worse.  This is the worse I have been in a couple of years.  Is this something the drug can cause before it gives you some relief?"


"I just had my second Mirena put in and still love it. I had the first one put in three months after my first child was born. I was a little scared after reading the negative reviews, but I had no side effects and no period after having it in for a couple of months. I had it removed two years later to get pregnant with my second and again no problems.  I was pregnant in three months.  There was a little cramping when it was put in and during that day.  I have recommended this form of birth control to all my friends.  So don't be scared!  As my doctor said people early post the positive but love to post the negative!"


"Lowered my bad LDL from 180 to 95 in 6 months, on only 20 mg daily. Only side effect is my legs get sore when I walk distances that never bothered me before. However, with a little rest, I'm ok. Pravachol is MUCH better than Lipitor, which I threw away after a week due to leg and joint pain."


"Have taken these for a few yrs and its given me my life back. Its a much more even keel positive experience than say valium or xanax. It comes on slowly and lasts for a decent amount of time. I can't say anything negative about it.  I've gone a few days without it and never experienced anything dramatic. I think and function very well under klonapin, and it gets a 10 in my book."


"I have minor seizures and have only been taking this medication for 7 months. Everything seemed to be going well and then I started losing concentration at work. (I work at a 911 center). Any error that I make can be crucial. I thought I was just having moments of memory lapse and sometimes felt like my head was cloudy or moving slowly. It actually just occurred to me that it could be this medication."


"Took this medicine for 18 days. Hot flashes nausea and migraines disappeared after about a week. Then on the 10th day I felt nausea and migraine come on, since then no more symptoms. Not sure if it's okay to not take it anymore now that feel better."


"This is by far the best thing I have ever tried! Week two started at 254 down to 238 this morning day 8. Extremely happy. No side effects yet. I noticed that drinking protein drinks in the morning really helped too. I have been drinking 2 a day. Then a light dinner, but even at that I am still not hungry. I will update on the 4 week mark."


"I get very hot with this medicine otherwise it works very well. I had my menstrual cycle for 4 months. I had a biopsy and I was diagnosed with precancerous cells on my uterus. Plus, I'm not ovulating so I needed to take this to get rid of my precancerous cells."


"I used this medication for 3 weeks. It worked so good for my back pain and my anxiety. I was so happy I was finally found something that would help me, get off my pain meds. One day I woke up with chest pains. I thought nothing of it. I went to work and it got worse and My blood pressure was 197/110. I left work, went straight to the ER. We found out this medication side effect was raise blood pressure. I am a healthy 120lb 38yr women. I'm doing much better now. BP is back to normal, but I have pain. Now I'm trying something new with back doctor. I hate pain meds. I been on and off for 5 years. I have herniated disc and bulging and anxiety due to a car accident. I had some signs of chest pain before. So don't ignore it."


"I switched from Prozac (which if anything made me feel more depressed) to Zoloft about a month ago and it has been FANTASTIC. 75mg a day, kicked in about 2 weeks, little to no side effects, more energy and generally just a massive relief.

In my case, it's also caused a bit of weight loss (around 5 pounds) which is likely due to the medicine causing a loss of appetite and some diarrhea which is far from pleasant."


"Do not use if you have acute anxiety. I've had lifelong daily anxiety and depression that has never gone away. I ended up dropping out of school because I couldn't sit still without having a full blown panic attack shaking. My head spins all day and my anxiety causes me migraines. I've tried yoga meditation and all natural remedies. I've come to terms with the fact it is genetic. I didn't know xanax existed. I've tried all antidepressants and they messed me up pretty bad. But I do have a very high tolerance to this medicine. I hate that its addicting because its the only thing that makes me feel normal and able to live my life happy."


"This medicine helped my neuropathic pain, but gave me neck and shoulder pain I couldn't talk without straining to find the words I walked around like I was drunk. I'm off and back to me again"


"Rapid heart rate, persistent nausea, respitory issues, loss of voice. dry skin/throat, abominal pain, back pain, constipation & bloating or frequent gas... it has really messed me up!"


"This medicine worked well while waiting for the infection from an abscessed tooth to subside in order for it to be extracted. (And anyone who's had an abscessed tooth knows what real pain is)."


"Gabapentin has really helped me with anxiety. I used to always be thinking of what I had to do while I was busy with something else.  For example, I would worry about what I had to do after work while I was at work.  I would play future scenarios over and over before they even occurred. I would play past experiences over and over.  Some call this rumination.  Much of this has either dropped down to a manageable level or just disappeared with gabapentin. I have never been one much into pharmaceuticals but this one works for me.  I can see that some people love how it works for them, some people despise of it, and others say it doesn't do a thing for them. We are all different and what works for one doesn't work for another, just like diet.
I'm much happier going out and doing ordinary things like shopping, going to the bank, and other ordinary routine tasks.  I easily get bored with ordinary tasks and just want to get them done.  I just wanted to get things over with so that I could take on the next task. Now, I can be more with what I am doing without having to rush through it to get to the next goal. I take my time and stop to talk with people.  It's ok if I'm late for the next task so long as it's not an appointment where others are involved.  The main thing for me is to enjoy people when I go out to a store, or the bank, or wherever!  The gabapentin helps a part of my brain slow down so that I can "see" the people in my day.
It really feels good to go to the gym and not feel tied to a specific exercise routine anymore. I like going in with a goal in mind, but allow for what the body is telling me.  Instead of just checking in at the desk, I'm more likely to spend time saying hello and having patience. So what if it means that I will get home 5 minutes later and eat dinner 5 minutes later, and then get 5 minutes less sleep. Big deal!  I see from writing this that gabapentin helps me to be less obsessive
With gabapentin, it is much easier for me to accept doing a job I am tired of. I've been at the same job for a long job and was getting antsy to move on. There isn't anything bad about the job, but doing anything "forever" gets kind of old. Now, I know that soon I will be making a change, but can be"more" patient until the change happens. If I were completely patient, then the change would never happen. There is still fire to make the change happen. I feel less anxiety about change and welcome it more now. There are times in life when change is good.  I don't feel as dead in my tracks with fearing change. It's  o.k. if I don't figure out "everything" today because there is always tomorrow!
Yes, I am very satisfied with how gabapentin works.  I give it a 10 out of 10."


"I have been taking escitalopram for just over 3 months now and have noticed an incredible positive difference. I started off on 5mg and moved up to 10mg and then 15mg. The first few weeks were difficult, I won't lie...I did experience many of the side effects, including: nausea, loss of appetite, increased anxiety/suicidal thoughts, irritability, loss of sex drive, and dry mouth. For the first week or two even the SMELL of some foods would make me so nauseous I couldn't eat them. I doubted whether I could get through it, I quit my job and was a complete wreck... I could barely leave the house. This medication changed my life; I am now able to do things I couldn't even dream of doing, and am more social. STICK IT OUT! :)"


"I have been taking Adderall for two years and it has probably saved my life. I had been misdiagnosed as bi-polar with no co-morbid ADHD, and was prescribed benzodiazepines and anti-depressants. I eventually became suicidal when Abilify was added,and was lucky enough to have a moment of clarity and changed doctors and hospital affiliates. The week I was started on ADHD meds, I started to become the person I should be. I only wish I could have been diagnosed as a child, I feel I missed half my education. I can now focus all day, keep a train of thought long enough to finish mundane to complex tasks, and have written and recorded an album of music that had been completed but in disarray. No side effects, no weight loss or changes in eating habits."


"I just took my first pill for the first time and I feel like I could run a marathon. I read up on it after my doctor gave me the script and was prepared with the side effects but I had no idea I'd be this energetic. I walk on my 10:00 and 3:00 break at my job...well I just got back from walking at 1:00...NOT MY BREAK. I couldn't sit still. My job is sedentary and I cannot sit still. I'm starting with a weight of 274 lbs. I'll keep you all posted. Definitely worth it."


"Latuda changed my life. I feel normal. I'm 48 years old and have been on many, many different types of meds for Bipolar type 1. I was diagnosed when I was 28, and have had quite a roller coaster time until I was put on Latuda 80 mg as well as Wellbutrin XL 300. I also had to add Trazodone 100mg later for sleeping. It's been 3 1/2 years now and I'm married now and taking care of both of my daughters, my grandson, and my husband. It truly has changed my life to stable and normal."


"Viagra never worked.  Cialis worked partially.  I tried the Edex 20 mcg and was amazed at how well it works!  I read the instructions two or three times to ensure I understood all. Took time to locate a good spot and avoiding the veins. I was surprised at how little pain there is with the needle (my biggest apprehension) and I did not get any bruising or discoloration at the injection site. Some minor aching, which maybe will go away with further use.

Onset took about 4 minutes and full onset within 10-11 minutes.  I would rate the erection at about 80%; I am going to try the 40 mcg. dosage, to see if I can attain closer to 95-100%.  Many who post here do not discuss dosage levels?
I am age 66.  I wish I had tried this earlier!"


"Flagyl took away all of my energy for 23 hours each day for the first few days. I could not even watch TV. I had almost constant stomach pain. Additional stomach pain at bowel movements. I did a lot of sleeping every day. I also had a headache. I have been off Flagyl for 11 days now and I still have some stomach pain."


"My stool (poop) felt so hard. It was very painful. Every time I get a bowel movement, I rushed to the toilet but it hurt so much that I just decide not to let it out, because I'm scared of getting hemorrhoids. Sometimes I feel the stool, and it was just painful. I tried bulk-forming laxatives, but they don't seem to have much effect. Finally just took half of a bottle of magnesium citrate. Doesn't even taste that bad, and it was cherry-flavored. After taking it, I also ate a banana. Worked after 3 hours. The urge was really great, and I was a bit afraid of the poop being painful to push out. But it didn't even hurt. I was really relieved. I'm glad magnesium citrate exists."


"I've had a chronic pain for over 9 years now due to fibromyalgia and rheumatoid after I had a neck fusion back in 2005. Every day I hav a lot of pain that I couldn't get out of bed without takin my med first. I'm on OxyContin 20 mg 2 a day every 12 hrs. and Percocet 10/325 4 a day for break through. OxyContin doesn't work for me real good it'll last about  3 to 4 hours then I have to take Percocet after for breakthrough to help my pain some more. So altogether with this 2 medication I still have a lot of pain that I'm coping with. I wish the doctor would increase the OxyContin but he doesn't want to so I have to live with all this pain everyday for almost 10 yrs. now, you know it's real bad to live with chronic pain everyday. SomeoneHelpMe."


"I had tried implanon (made me crazy), paraguard (made me crampy and I felt it during intercourse) and mirena (I felt it during intercourse) so I was pretty much out of options when this came along. The size difference worked out! My tiny frame worked better with it. No pain during intercourse and no weird cramps. I was worried that I would have weird spotting because that has been reported on it, but not me. I had 4 months of light periods, each about 4 days long, super easy. After that I haven't had any periods. I'm not a tiny girl either. 5"2' 160 lbs

Anyways! I love this and highly recommend it to someone who always felt the larger iud's and maybe if you're just sensitive to hormones, like myself.

Love this! Totally plan to get another"


"I've had Severe Vertigo for 3.5 Months, I'm in a nursing home that does not believe some of the best Doctors at Yale so I Had 7 days of Relief!!!!  A Neurology appointment at  Hospital is in Mar. 2018, I will have Vertigo for close to 7 Months, Yes I will be suing the Nursing Home, because Yale will prescribe Valium again, and the rest home  WILL NOT GIVE IT!!!   PS, I'm also a Licenced Private Pilot and Vertigo was a Prime study section to Obtain your Private Pilot Certificate, Thanks, Jack"


"I used to suffer from frequent migraine headaches associated with a spike in monthly estrogen levels, Implanon helped me to have fewer headaches. The doctor who performed the implant didn't really numb up the area enough because there was pain associated with the little tube going in. It didn't last that long though, but left a pretty nasty dark red bruise for about a week and was tender for about a month. Internally I feel great. There are no mood swings and menstrual cramps last about a day. My sex drive is normal. The only thing that I don't like is that I almost always have the dark "end of your period" discharge. For three weeks out of the month I have this brown sludge, but it's worth it because I won't get pregnant for three years!"


"I have been on may different types of pain medicines for over 10 years now.  I have degenerative nerve damage since a young age.  Also crushed, herniated and bulging discs in my entire lower lumbar region.  Have been in unmanageable pain many times before trying MS Contin.  This seems to give me the best possible relief while still allowing me to function in society. The pain is now under control and I do live a normal life.  I take Soma, a muscle relaxer, and that seems to help when I overdo things.  I am perscribed 4 of the 60mg in the a.m. and 4 in the p.m. without side effects."


"About me: 20yo, dysmenorrhea, 30lbs overweight
I have only been on this medication a short time but I feel great. In fact, next to nothing can upset me. I do wonder if some of the confusion I'm feeling is related to the medication (or perhaps just the beginning of the semester). I also notice some insomnia which again may or may not be related to the medicine. After some research though, I did notice that the canker sores that I have developed are related to the birth control. They aren't unbearable but they are certainly inconvenient. My acne is clearing up and I don't feel as hungry as I used to. I also haven't noticed a change in my sex drive but I don't have much of one to begin with so there's that."


"My doc highly recommended the IUD. Said it was the next best thing to sliced bread.  I had it inserted Aug 2016. After 8 months of constant bleeding/spotting, I went back to see my doc and she has put me on birth control (Lolo) for the next three months to stop the bleeding. After two weeks of adding the pill to the IUD, I started spotting again. I just want to cry!  I really don't want to have the IUD taken out as I have lasted this long. I wish I had a crystal ball to see into the future. I don't know what to do. Help!!!"


"I've been on Accutane for three months now and have already seen a major difference in my skin. My skin used to be super oily to the point where even right after I washed my face there was a layer of oil. After the first month all the oil had dried up, but I still had acne (which is obviously to be expected). Now, after just 3 months my acne is almost completely gone. Granted, I always have to have chapstick wherever I go since my lips are very dry, but it is manageable. I also have to make sure to apply lotion regularly especially on colder days. Other than the dryness, I have had no other side effects and would certainly say that the side effects I have had are worth it."


"Was one 60 mg for 4 years, had some relief from panic attack with depression. Had some rough times job related, medical issues not related to above, and doctor increased to 120 mg. normal dosage is no more than 60mg according to insert in med bottle and Internet. After 3 years on this dose it quit working. The withdrawal was the worst thing ever. During taking Cymbalta, I developed diabetes. Withdrawal took 8 months and pdoc gave me lamorigine, an anti seizure med for withdrawal. As I tapered off my diabetes went away! Pdoc denied Cymbalta caused it. I googled it and proof, all SSRI's can cause hyperglycemia!  I've tried everything from Prozac to lexipro. Same crap. Now on transidone and back to having normal feelings"


"Sometimes I feel drowsy, sometimes I feel dizzy, sometimes I don't. I am not sure if it is really part of the medication but I do know I don't seizure on it. Compared to the first type of medication I tried (it sent me loopy) this is a lot better, but it could also be better. -Over the years start to analyse how your head processes, how much do you remember and make sure you're not getting slowly cranky on it."


"Feel okay but gained 60ibs in three months.  Horrible joint pain."


"I got Mirena in about five months ago. It was very painful when I got it inserted, I have no children. I was bed stricken the whole day proceeding the insertion.  Since then I have felt great. I am pretty sure it has  contributed to a little weight gain and some mood swings but nothing out of control.  My partner can barely feel it. Also, I do not really get my period, which freaks me out a little, but other than a few cramps (and I used to have unbearable cramps) during my period time, I love it."


"I was on lexapro for 5 years at 30 mg but was tired of always being tired all day and not caring, after the DNA test I found out lexapro wasn't for me and my dr switched me to pristiq- it's only day 6 but I notice more energy and less anxious.  Hopefully this continues to improve and work- will update later."


"Imitrex took away my migraine but I could not function on it.  I had to lay down completely still and go to sleep because it made me so nauseous I felt like vomiting every time I moved.  I was extremely dizzy and it made my skin painful to the touch.  Even after the migraine went away I still felt out of it the rest of the day.  I would definitely ask for samples before paying for the prescription!"


"Australia
I have been on this drug for a little under 2 weeks, I have already lost 4.5kg which is very impressive. Had little to no side affects what so ever, 5 pens cost me $400 AUD and my insurance gave me a $50 rebate. So far so good.

"I had suffered with panic attacks since I was around 14 years old. There came a time when I had shock treatments because back in the 60's not much was known about these kinds of illnesses.  Later on, I became completely housebound for 8 years.  I heard about Tofranil and decided to try it.  Within 3 weeks I was able to not only get out of my house but go about 3 blocks away.  It takes time, but if it had not been for Tofranil combined with Xanax I would still be home bound.  It works, no two ways about it. When nothing else did.  The only side effects were sleepiness until it gets into your system (2 weeks for me) and dry mouth. But for me that was nothing to getting my life back."


"My experience with generic imitrex has been bad.  It sometimes works, sort of, but a day or so after, I have debilitating muscle aches. It took me a while to make the association, but once I switched back to the real medication, that problem went away."


"I have been using Nuvaring for almost 6 years now (I had a 1 year break in between). It was recommend to me by my Doctor because my period was very painful and irregular. I couldn't get out of bed on the first days and I had it once every 3 months or more sometimes. Since I use Nuvaring I feel more in control and I haven't had any side effects. Works beautifully and sometimes I forget that I have it inside. I totally recommend it."


"My neurologist had me try many different medications for migraines including Amitriptyline, Topamax and Cymbalta.  I was not comfortable with taking medications that are meant to help individuals with seizure disorders and depression.  In addition, these medications did not stop the migraines and I experienced many side effects including nausea and decreased appetite.  Then I tried Inderal, a low dose medication used to lower blood pressure, paired with B2.  My migraines are now fewer and less severe.  I still keep Imitrex with me wherever I go to tackle a migraine but I have found that Inderal was the most successful medication that I have tried.  Just be sure to take it as recommended.  I hope that it helps other migraine sufferers."


"I had a shot after several days of a UTI. It cleared the UTI quickly (in addition to oral antibiotics) but the lump at the shot site is still there! It's been over a month and I can still feel the lump under my skin. Slightly painful to the touch."


"It is the only medicine for reflux that works for me. Right now I am on a different medicine because my insurance won't pay for it and I even have trouble eating basic foods (with a good reflux medicine you should only have problems when you make a really wrong food choice; not normal food at normal times).  The same insurance has paid for it for 3 years and now I since the end of June,  I have been having to go through too much red tape to get Nexium, that works for me."


"I'm 18 and a first time user for depression medicines. I was just given 50mg of this to start out and so far it has helped a lot and it's only been three days. I haven't had any energy for a month and just wanted to sleep all the time but now I'm doing things like cleaning and going out! The only problem is it makes me sick and I've had headaches, dilated pupils and sleep problems but it is worth it and I'm sure it'll get better as the days go by."


"I'm with everyone else -- I've used Drixoral since 1985.  Nothing else has worked.  I don't know what I will do without it.  Please bring it back!"


"My son was diagnosed with ADHD when he was 2.  He is now 11.  We have tried changing his diet, herbal remedies, Vyvanse, Strattera, and several others.  The thing that has worked without causing headaches is the Adderall RX.  He does have a loss of appetite, but his behavior and ability to concentrate are definitely worth it."

"I'm 21, 5'8 and about 225.So far, I feel very on the fence about this pill. I've only been taking it for 11 days. I started the pack on the first Sunday of my period as directed and I haven't stopped bleeding. The flow is light, but I've still experienced some cramps and fatigue. Extreme cramping is why I started this pill. So far I haven't had that many side effects, um..moodiness a little, anxiety and irritability. But none more than I've experienced in the past. No irregular leg pain or stomach issues. Slight nausea maybe 20 minutes prior time for me to take my pill. I'm taking mine at 1 pm everyday. Sex drive HAS decreased. And my skin is fine, no acne. My breasts however are swollen, but not tender."


"I have been on subs for 14 yrs was on 12mg and now down to 1/12 mg daily but if I drop any at all I can't sleep, I want off but don't know if I can make it off of this stuff, it really help me but know I want off has anyone heard of being on it 14 yrs and getting off."


"Started it today after a 7 day course of ciprodex failed to work. This stuff burns badly, so I hope it works!!!"


"I've been struggling with anxiety and depression for about 5 months now, so my doctor put me on Lexapro. When I went back, they prescribed me a higher dosage, causing me not to sleep but maybe 3 hours all together throughout the night. I told my doctor and she gave me Neurontin 200mg and it has helped me very much! It does work the way I expected. It doesn't just help you sleep, it lets you rest! And that is what I surely did need."


"I never thought I would take something like this.  About 9 months ago my marriage was rapidly falling apart after over two decades.  My whole life was filled with general social anxiety which I'd more or less learned to tolerate through behavior self-control.  My wife insisted I try therapy, but that was a general waste of valuable time until I brought up the subject of taking medicines (I was getting desperate).  My therapist wend ahead and let me try Lexapro.  It took several weeks for my body to stabilize and get used to the changes (including mental). It's the best decision I've made in my life.  Marriage is better than ever and my anxieties are history."


"I have been on Cymbalta for almost 5 years after a very difficult 4 years of PND/PSTD. Other medications got me to a point of about 50 percent improvement. This was far from ideal/adequate. Cymbalta worked for me like no other antidepressant. My anxiety reduced to the point where I can function at a pretty high level. I still have bouts of anxiety and occasional dark moods but they pass and even now are fewer and further between. I have tried to come off of it a few times but at 30mg the cogs begin to turn faster and I can feel my anxiety levels significantly increasing. I am concerned that my emotions are a bit blunted and like someone else said, I cannot cry, which I miss. I used to like a good, therapeutic cry. I also have no sex drive."


"I have been on amitriptyline for almost ten years. It has basically saved my life. I had migraines that did not stop. I take 37.5 mg nightly and haven't had a migraine since. I did not believe my neurologist when he wanted to try this med. I had almost given up on any medication working. I am now scared to not take it. I was not a believer, I am now."


"I was a pack a day smoker for 30 years, have COPD, and was using oxygen at night and at exertion.%uFFFD I used Chantix for 6 months per pulmonary doctor and have been smoke free for 1 year in October. No longer use oxygen, was able to give that up after about 7 months of no smoking and have never felt better in my life. I am 52 and wish I had known about Chantix long ago. I had tried to quit so many times, me and husband, and now we're both smoke/nicotine free. The nausea was very bothersome, lasted about 4 months for me. Well worth all the bother and sickness."


"If anybody has input that would be great.. I took klonopin for anxiety disorder. It made me have no appetite, stay wide awake at night, feel superior to anybody else. Honestly felt fantastic and I was losing weight. A week or so later I broke down in major tears, had to leave work. On the way home had a bad panic attack. Went to the hospital where I was prescribed ativan. I've never had an issue since and I only take it when I feel anxious. It was the weirdest experience ever and the doctors can't explain it."


"I used the NuvaRing method for 18 months. I loved it because it was easy to place and you forget that you even have it "there"; but I had to stop using it because I was having yeast infections every single month- I was miserable and the medication that my doctor prescribed wasn't doing any better. Also my sexual drive went from average to zero."


"Have just been prescribed Maxalt Melt after a lifetime of pain and feel I have discovered gold! My only disappointment is having only three pills when I need a truckload!"

"As I assume most of these reviews are written on the toilet so is mine.   The whole day wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.   Moviprep tastes like salty lemonade.   I chilled it, added crystal light lemonade flavor, drank it with a straw and chased it with water.  Started working in about 45 minutes."


"it did the worst for me. I have panic attacks every morning.
All it did for me was keep  me up all night.
Never will use again.
Bad stuff"


"I used Effexor XR for depression and anxiety for almost two (2) years. Effexor has terrible anxiety and nausea first several days. I started 37.5 with .5 Clonazepam in the morning and before night, then upped to 75mg. Clonazepam was removed once my sleep was restored.

Great Drug gave me life and energy. Side effects lowered erection, sex drive and orgasm.

Kept me going well, gave much more energy comparing to Lexapro. Getting off after 2 years was not a problem. I was slowly reducing dose each 2-3 weeks."


"I'm just on day five of taking one pill a day in the morning. My appetite has already been stopped in its tracks. I'm just curious what will happen when I get up to four pills a day.     Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled that my appetite is being controlled. I just hope the weight comes off!  Have any of you experience the rapid loss of appetite?   This is good, right???"


"I am 34 years old and I have had two children previously.  I was so nervous yesterday when I went in to have my Paragard inserted.  I had read so many online reviews and I was terrified.  My doctor mixed up my appointment and my consultation actually became the day of insert.  I was nervous because I was not on my period and I had not taken any medicine for pain.   As my doctor started, I was breathing very heavily to try to relax. Once she started, she asked me was I okay and by the time I knew it, it was over.  I had one cramp and one small pinch and that was it.  It was not that bad for me.  I had immediate bleeding and I am having a little spotting today but nothing I can't handle.  I just got it so I give it a 9."


"I had Mirena put in about a week and a half ago. I'm 20 years old with no children. The insertion was the most horrible pain I have ever felt in my life. I don't have a high pain tolerance so my doctor used lidocaine, I can't imagine how it would be without it. During insertion I broke out in a cold sweat and was crying. Afterwards I was shaking so violently that I couldn't stand or walk for about 20 minutes. I experienced moderate cramping for a few days after and just took it easy for a while. I have gotten back to my normal routine now and it isn't a problem. Originally I had bleeding on and off but now its just mild spotting. While insertion was pretty bad, I would recommend it at this point and say that it was worth it."


"I began taking Forteo December 2 2014 after having neck surgery to remove two discs One week after the surgery I returned for an Xray and the lower part of the plate had come loose from my vertebrate. I was asked if I had fallen, hit my head or any type of accident. I told him I hadn't, then he told me the surgery was a failure. I was put on Forteo 2-1/2 months after my surgery. From the beginning I began having side effects. I've had dizziness resulting in stumbling and falls and bone pain. I opted to stay on it. I have taken a two week break and my symptoms disappeared. I'm debating going back on it."


"I started on Victoza 3 months ago.  My A1Cs were 190s and now at the 130s level.
Victoza was added to the medicines I was already on -  Metformin and Lantus.  Glyburide was eliminated.  I have lost 30 lbs to date.  Have had some nausea and loose bowels but nothing major. I am very pleased."


"my skin was very bad and very sore and red with cyst like lumps around my mouth my lips were swollen because of inflamation . this antibiotic from the first day took the pain away which was a great relief to me.. It took nearly two weeks before the lesions went away but I expected this as they were bad the worst I had ever had.. I was also given a topical antibiotic, which did not make my skin dry or flaky .  i had googled the doxycycline before I went to my GP so i asked for this one as seemed to give good results. I would recommend it I was on 100 mg for 28 days twice a day  had to drink a full glass of water when taking. I had no side effects..I still have the red marks which will take time to fade but can cover with makeup."


"Allergic  reaction , May 6, 2016. Itching, redness, 45 minutes into shot. Went back to Dr office, they gave me 2 shots an a pill. Sent me to ER for observation."


"Don't buy if you've had at least one full day of symptoms. Buy the 3 or 7 day. I've used this twice now and it has not worked. I end up going back for the other ones.
If you slightly feel an infection coming on then this may very well work."


"I didn't get on with statins -muscle aches. I have been taking this for several years with absolutely no side effects, and my cholesterol level keeps my doctor happy. "


"I was on Zoloft for about 3 years when I was a teenager. It tremendously helped my depression. There were side effects however. My doctor told me that it metabolized slowly and takes a few weeks to notice results.. so in my ignorance, I thought that that's how long it takes the body to metabolize the stuff. For at least a year there would frequently be times where I'd forget to take my pill in the morning.. sometimes for a few days in a row. So when I remembered that I should take it, I would take 2,3, or even 4 of them to make up for days where I skipped. Like I said, this is only due to my own stupidity. I would end up being awake ALL night long.. completely stung out and not knowing why. I developed Insomnia and pretty much went crazy."


"I've taken many different opiates over the years for chipped bone spurs in neck and multiple abnormalities in my lower back. This medicine is a miracle for me. I rated it a "10" because the last 6 months i've been prescribed it,"i feel no pain at all"."


"30lbs lost. New outlook on life. Does make me have trouble sleeping."


"I am taking 10 mg for 3 weeks now. After the first week I've started to feel a little bit better side effects dry mouth, I was not eating that much which is good because I am over weight but after the 3 week started to feel again depressed so it means that so far is not helping me, I went to the doctor today. I will increase starting tomorrow 15 mg and lets see how it goes...I will keep you posted."


"I was reading these messages this morning and it put my mind to rest a little, so I thought I'd share my experience.

I took Ella three days after having unprotected sex. I missed the other pill and I didn't know doctors did Ella. I was in two minds but I took it. I didn't have any symptoms to be honest after from having little cramps, however my period was due 9 days after taking the medication. I didn't come on and I am never late so everything went through my head.

After reading the messages and trying to relax I have come on, I was 5 days late! So try to relax, apart from being late taking the pill was fine and I would recommended it! Hope this helps you."


"I am a chronic pain patient and have tried Vicodin 5/500, Norco 7.5/325, Norco 10/325, Percocet, Percodan, Darvocet, andfFinally I have found relief with 120 mg of MS CONTIN a day and Percodan for breakthrough pain (up to 4 tablets a day as needed). I am now able to work a full time job, get up before noon and resume a normal life. I am so thankful my doctor decided to try the Ms Contin. The only issue is constipation, but it is controlled with Miralax."


"I started on December 10, 2014 and my first week I was down 10.5 pounds, my second week is not going as good because my cravings are coming back but I'm going to stay strong and drink lots of water"


"I usually work a 10 hr shift in the afternoon but my boss has changed my Saturday shift to 5am-1pm. We live on a farm and have 3 outside dogs that like to bark at night.  The first morning shift I only got 2 hrs sleep because of our dogs. I purchased Zzquill to get some help falling asleep the night before my morning shifts. I took the recommended dose (2pills) at 8pm. I went to bed at 8:30. I didn't feel any effect from the medication until almost 10:30!! And then I woke up again at 12:30am! I do not recommend Zzquill if you want to fall asleep quickly and stay asleep."


"Had bilateral acute PE. Barely a month has passed but I think I am doing okay with Rivaroxaban. I experienced a very heavy menstruation and still have laboured breathing here and there but apart from that, I am happy with the medication. I am now back to work on a part time basis (very supportive employer) and hopefully will be strong enough to be back on full time soon."


"Bystolic 5 mg for hypertension has made me EXTREMELY sleepy, with considerable fatigue. Want to lay down all the time.  Also have occasional diarrhea, headaches and  have a lot of trouble with dizziness.  It has not lowered my blood pressure but I am afraid of more side effects if I take a stronger dose.  Am tired, tired, tired all the time."


"I used to be on Seroquel for my bipolar 1. It basically ruined my high school education, making it almost impossible to wake up and stay awake in the mornings because it was physically painful to endure. Lamictal changed all of that and turned my life around. I have now been on lamictal for 4 years. I have experienced no negative side effects. I am now in college with a 3.5 GPA. My mood is now more controllable, but it doesn't drug me to the point where I am a zombie or a different person. I feel like I can still be extremely euphoric, which is something I don't want to give up. I do sometimes still feel very angry or depressed, but I am able to manage and contain it better than I used to. I highly recommend this to those with bipolar"


"It will things work for you let me tell you. I was getting ED and premature ejaculation. But after 2 uses back it is working like I was 20. 100 mg for me last up to 10 hours. Thank you and has mad me feel great"


"The Nicoderm CQ Patch in my opinion worked great. I've been smoking for over 19 years. I've tried before (cold turkey) & (Pregnancy), but always went back. I smoked up to 1.5 packs a day. I made the most life changing choice Dec 2016 to stop smoking. I researched the patches and was very leary, because of my withdrawal symptoms.I decided to try Nicoderm CQ patches. I completed  the whole 3 step 10 week program without 1 slip!!! I'm very proud of myself. Now be aware that you will experience a slight burning Itching  sensation when you first apply the patch(last about 1 min). Also sometime the patch will not stay on, just simply apply a bandaid over it. Thats about it. I would recommend this product. Works GREAT!!"


"I was prescribed this medicine a couple days ago due to my social anxiety. What I want to tell people most is that it does not take away your anxiety mentally, only physically. So let's say you have an oral presentation, you will still have severe anxiety but just without the shakes, redness, and sweating. I personally have a problem with going into grocery stores and paying/chatting with an employee. After I took the medicines I left and realized that I was no longer red and did not feel shaky at all. I highly recommend this medicine, just do not expect to drop your anxiety completely. You will not notice that it is working until you're in the situation. Give it a shot."


"I was diagnosed with RRMS 1992 while on deployment in Africa. Returned back to the states and had an MRI done to positively identify the MS. Done, was discharged from the Navy 1994. I then started Bataseron 1995 after having repeated relapses. Stayed with that for a few yeas then switched to Avonex, again stayed with that for a few years and switched to Rebif which was okay but began finding it hard to find inject points on my body. Then switched to Copaxone for a short time and it was determined that I was allergic to the drug so one more time. In 2008, I started Tysabri and am still on it. The infusions are not a big deal because I am self-employed. Do I feel like my old self, can%u2019t remember what that was like however I still Scuba dive,"


"I was at the end of my rope. Having daily excessive worry, panic attacks, fear of being alone. I was given Lexapro at the hospital and now, 4 years later I owe "everything" to Lexapro. It saved my life, literally. I live a normal happy functional life. No side effects at all."


"Im currently taking bactrim for a UTI. It relieved my symptoms rather quickly however the side effects are really bothering me. I've had the most painful migraines since taking it yesterday. I also have the chills and slight nausea. I wont take this medicine ever again once I finish it. The constant painful headaches are not worth it."


"As prescribed by my doctor .for my muscle spasms(taking it along with iboprofen 600 mg.) Hasn't made a dent on my pain.h e only gave me 7 to take 1 at night ..but my pain is worse so I have taken during the day; having 3left..my pain started when standing up and walking ..but now is when laying down in bed too! Should I ask for a stronger dose?"


"Took the pill within 12 hours of having unprotected sex and I just found out I'm pregnant! It is only 95% accurate within 24 hours and 61% within 48-72 hours!"


"I've been taking Levofloxacin for bronchitis (5 days, 750 mg), and I think it's helped a little bit, but it's day five (last dose tonight) and I still feel only a little better than I did before I started. Maybe it's a virus or something, so it isn't responding? Oh well.

The biggest problem I've had is the side effects: not as bad as what most people have been talking about (knock on wood), but I have experienced severe, severe nausea, and also insomnia. I take it at around 6 p.m., and the nausea usually goes away by the next afternoon. I started taking it with food, and also drinking a probiotic, and it seems to be helping a little, though I still feel a bit sick.
The insomnia is pretty bad! "


"I was on NuvaRing for about 6 months. I stopped because I started gaining so much weight and it felt uncomfortable sometimes. I went from 150lbs to 167lbs in a matter of months. Other then that the Nuvaring worked well for me! Did not get pregnant, kept my periods lighter and sometimes shorter. I did notice hair loss and I did start getting leg cramps during my time on this medication. Good for teens!"


"Diagnosed with GAD a few years ago after a series of life changing events. Originally prescribed Cymbalta (Duloxetine) and Xanax (as needed) but I did not like the side effects of those drugs. After a painful withdrawal from Duloxotine, my physician placed me on Buspar 5mg 3x daily, later it was increased to 10mg 3x daily. Doctor claimed there was no addictive nature to the drug and discontinuing use would have no side effects either. What a difference!. Very little, if any, anxiety. Better mood, sleep and none of the negative side effects I had previously. Highly recommend."


"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."


"After a 3-month heavy regimen of surgeon-prescribed oxycodone due to a head-on collision, the oxy was replaced with generic tramadol 50 mg, 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours. At first I hated it, the numerous side effects caused more suffering than my injuries. I later saw a pain-management specialist who lowered the dosage considerably for my 90-lb frame to 25 mg every 8 hrs and I've had much improvement. My pain is more tolerable, I have no more side effects, nor do I need to sign a waiver to obtain it. Most importantly, I can now  function more normally and even drive short distances again. In my case, the correct dosage is the key to success."


"Started Spiro 2 weeks ago.  I am already noticing a high difference in facial hair growth.  I was plucking over 200 hairs a night and not getting even half the hair.  The side effect of stomach ache has had some serious moments, but I'm told it will pass soon.  The embarrassment of the facial hair and scaring from ingrown hairs has stopped me from socializing and made me a house mouse. I'm thrilled to see results after only 2 weeks and I'm confident time will continue to improve the condition."


"Lutera has worked wonders for me I've been on it 6 months and I have almost NO side effects. A really great pill!"


"I'm a university student, who suffers from hyperhydrosis. I've had it for a few years, ever since puberty hit. It's always embarressing having sweat stains, always feels like someone is staring. I always keep my arms down once I noticed they are there. Will never even raise my hand in class or reach the top of my locker so I dont raise my arms. No other antiperspirant worked and I'm too young for botox. Certain dry didnt work either. I tried this, went from doing it every other night to once or twice a week. Was itchy at first but now nothing. But I was so happy I could not be embarrassed anymore. I could wear whatever I wanted and buy whatever. Though, I did notice some BO come back, so I used some natural deodorant along with it. Changed my life"


"After 10 day dosage I developed severe diarrhea with bloody stools.(C-diff) Went to ER and was diagnosed with c-diff. Have been I'll ever since and am now lactose intolerant.  Took metronidazole for 14 days but still have symptoms .  Horrible experience."


"I used this for one month with little to no results on my face; on my chest, it cleared up the clogged pores very quickly. I'll be switching back to Epiduo, a stronger retinoid and less risky anti-septic (topical antibiotics pose the risk of creating antibiotic resistant bacteria). After seeing that most of you experienced notable improvement within a month, if not a few weeks, I'm forfeiting this treatment."


"I have taken Belviq since last October and have lost 45 lbs so far!  Just need another 15 and I will have reached my weight goal.  This is the first prescribed medicine that has worked for me and I am thrilled.  You MUST change your eating habits as well as picking an exercise that you like to do while taking Belviq or it will not work as well.  Speed walking is my love and my waist has really shrunk.   HIGHLY recommend this weight loss medication."


"I started going to a clinic to get extra help on top of AA. My alcohol use had gotten to a very, very dangerous level. I would flirt with sobriety through AA, getting almost to 30 days, then a bad craving would hit and I couldn't resist. Then I found out about vivitrol. After my first shot it cut my cravings down ten fold. Now 4 shots in I rarely have a craving and when I do it's manageable. This has allowed me to concentrate on my recovery without also battling cravings. I'm 95 days sober today and so grateful."


"Worked great for 6 months I used it for allergies. However, five days after I stopped using it I started to experience headaches and ringing in my ears for two solid weeks. Now its week three and those symptoms are slowly going away while I have to take ibuprofen everyday to alleviate side effects. Also, my lower number on my blood pressure went up a full 10 points while I was on.  Went to doctor about 20 days after coming off and my blood pressure as dropped back down about 7-8 points."


"I got the depo shot before this. The deposit shot when I got it the first time when I was 16 made me bleed for a year straight as a side effect. I finally stopped getting my period every single day and then I got the depo shot again when I was 16 thinking it was gonna be different it was not. Now it's been 2 years since my last depo and after it wore off I got the implant. I've bled nonstop for 2 years. I don't have money to go see my doctor about this with. I can't have sex because I'm constantly bleeding I have numerous health issues because I'm constantly bleeding Its slowly killing me and I never noticed it until now. And I can't even really get off the damn thing because I still don't have money to talk to my doctor! :("


"I was given 25mg once a day in conjunction with Lamictal. I started hallucinating about a day in.  Stopped taking it 4 days later after severe hallucinations."


"I had a hysterectomy in December of 2015 & was diagnosed at a stage 1a with Leiomyosarcoma (rare form of uterine cancer) .  I was also given gemzar at the same time as taxotere.  4 cycles altogether. (every 3 weeks)  My side effects were hair loss (yes - eyelashes & brows), some nausea, skin peeling of hands and feet, severe edema and shortness of breath, fevers, bone pain and muscle aches.  It has now been 4 months since that drug was given to me.  I had to follow those 2 drugs with 4 cycles of Adriamycin (which was like taking a baby aspirin compared to taxotere).  I completed my chemo on July 28th, I have had 1 cat scan come back clear, so I get checked every 3 months for 2 years. I was scared at first, but now that I made it through, I am thankful I chose treatment."


"I had great experience over 5 years! No extreme side effects, no weight gain, no acne, just AWESOME! "


"I've been taking escitalopram for more than a month at 10mg daily for my anxiety disorder. Last 2 years ago I took this for more 2 months at the same dose. Last Feb I had observed that my anxiety was back again so I started to take last month. Thanks to God I feel better again now after 1 week, although there is little anxiety but not so compared before. "


"I have been taking Rytary for the last 9 days, and it worked great at night since I was sleep. But it worked about 30%-40% for me as soon as I put something in my mouth.  I had a small apple yesterday and took my pills 2 1/2 hours later, and I was stiff, with almost no movement for the next 2 hours. Today I had a very light vegii lunch at noon, took Rytary at 3pm which worked about 30%, and I finally decided to take my Parcopaat 6pm  on top of Rytary! I would vote for Rytary at night only."


"Dr prescribed this to "flush" because for the past year I have had periods every 2 weeks - some are evil (cramps, flow - almost a box of tampons in one day) others are ehh (spotting, pantie liner worthy but for 5 days) - they did find small cyst on ovary but said no concern and that isn't why evil periods - I'm 43 - have had my blood checked for everything under the sun - all clear, not postmenopausal. So, dr said take this only the days on period - well, I started last Monday (exactly one week now) - this has been the worse period week of my entire life.  Not to be nasty, but on here to share - unbelievable clots, never seen clots like this ever. Super tampons can't stop this madness.  I'm not taking this anymore. Starting to get scared."


"Reduced pain within days. Drowsiness and dry mouth but subsided after a couple of weeks. Felt brand new. After just four days the diarrhoea started, this just got worse and worse, so I was feeling fantastic in my mind and body, but could not be more than a few feet away from a toilet!

Stopped taking,now in pain again!"


"Been on 500mcg Tikosyn taken twice daily for 2 months.   Went into sinus rhythm after 2nd dose in the hospital.   Experienced headaches and some chest pressure.   After one month I began getting indigestion daily, gained weight while eating less, have daily headaches, exceptional thirst, and fatigue.   My cardiologist said to continue same dose, along with 25mg metoprolol and 20mg xarelto for another 3 months.   With the quality of life being less than before, I don't know if I can hold off that long."


"Took them for 3 days never helped dont no why they gave me a useless prescription"


"I've been on this medicine for about a month and lost around eleven pounds. I initially got on it to stay more focused in school although I don't have a serious case of ADD but I don't mind the weight loss. I could spare a few pounds. You get a rush for about 45 minutes after it kicks in and that feels better than it should. I feel I can concentrate when I use it, but I'm not myself when I take it. My personality is dulled a bit and even if I have homework to do, I'll find something to distract myself. Whether it's choosing a simpler assignment or just writing because I still feel like I'm being productive."


"One day I got a severe headache..it lasted for 3 full days. I was tired could barely move pain all over.I developed a rash almost like chaffing on my inner thighs next to my lady parts. I knew it was herpes so I went and got tested and sure enough it was positive for simplex 2. Being 25 and only having two partners really narrowed down where I got I from. I am still with the person who gave it to me. Any who.  I was prescribed generic valtrex acyclovir it cleared up the rash in about a week.. But it had harsh side effects.leg pain.stomach pain etc. I researched lysine and began taking it after my 10 days of acyclovir.it has been 3 months and no further outbreak.I had my cycle and felt that viral tingle..i increased the lying and no outbreak"


"Puerperal Psychosis: Makes me feel hungrier than usual but has given me much more energy than other medicines such as Seroquel, Risperidal and Zyprexa (all of which I have tried previously).  Glad to get a chance to try Ablify at last.  Seems to curb the delusions and hallucinations too."


"I love the remeron...It gave me back my life."


"was not on BC for many years till my dr recommended birth control in order to help with my endometriosis. I've been on this for a month and a half and no progress in period or cramps, and I've never had worse acne than I do right now. I hardly wear any make up and rarely ever get pimples and what started as a dry scaly rash type thing on my chin and jawline has one week later turned into burning red acne all over my face. I've also noticed how severely depressed I have become. Although I have struggled with depression throughout the past 8 years, I have never ever felt this depressed or uninterested in anybody and everything. everything and everyone irritates me. Once I looked up others reviews I decided I will not take this again"


"POSITIVE REVIEW - I have been on the Nuvaring for 2 months – the only side effect has been increase of breast size, I am trying to persevere with it and do a lot of exercise so I don’t increase weight and hopefully maintain my breast size and I will take St John Worts if I feel a bit moody.

The Nuvaring is great – 3 weeks in, 1 week out for your period and then the next cycle begins. If your partner can feel the ring while intercourse you can take it out for maximum 3 hours and then insert straight after.

I know everyone is different but the Nuvaring is a low dosage of hormones and it is really working for me. So if you don’t want to worry every month if you are pregnant I recommend Nuvaring. It has been great for me."
