"Treatment for Restless Legs Syndrome - I was recently diagnosed with RLS (a condition I thought to be psychosomatic until I got it - it's real!) I thought my wife and I were going to have to sleep in separate beds due to my tossing, turning, stretching, etc. to get relief.  From the first dose of Skelaxin the problem was eliminated.  It's a wonder-drug in my personal opinion."


"Doctor prescribed this antibiotic for me for my UTI, I must say it did take away my UTI painful urination very quickly but after a day of taking it I felt like I had the flu. I was shaking, freezing, very nauseous, bloated, had back pain and extreme gas.I actually thought I was dying.  It backed me up so bad I couldnt make a bowel movement for 4 days and had to take a laxative to get everything out of me which made me feel worse.
I still have 2 days left of taking it but I think I'm stopping today because I'm in so much pain from this antibiotic. If your doctor prescribes this to you, ask for something else because its god awful."


"First injection on Fri 9-23-16 at lunch time. Very anxious because of other reports & previous bad reactions to meds. Feet numb for a while, couldn't sit still, blood sugar readings dropped dramatically & ended in 70's on Fri. Motion sick coming home with a headache.Needed PPI before bed because heartburn - gerd pain was bad.
Sat I felt great! 5lbs weight lost, edema gone, pin & needles in fingers & hands gone! Pins & needles in feet & toes lessened greatly! Chronic anxiety dialed down several levels. I feel " normal". I haven't felt this good in decades....I'm 58.
Only side effect I could live without is constipation even with fiber, stool softners fiber supplement. Now my concern is will ins co approve coverage."


"Great for the sinus infection. Feeling much better after a couple of days. However, on day 5 much tendon tenderness and tightness during exercise. I read about the side effects and this is one listed. It is worth it to get rid of the sinus infection."


"I am sure if it was not for this product I would not be alive today. I would for sure not have been able to do my job that demands frequent travel to difficult parts of Africa and Middle East.
One problem though that surprises me is how little people that suffers from Crohn's knows about this. Why are all doctors not prescribing it. Some Doctors would rather prescribe imodium which is dangerous. The suppliers of this product should advertise it on international news channels as a service to improve quality of life.
This product should also not be heavily scheduled. If headache tablets can be purchased over the counter why do we need to see a Dr for such a life changing product. It is over controlled"


"I have been taking it for twenty years with no known side effects. On days I forget to take it I experience anxiety and then realize I forgot to take it. My Doctor wants to weene me off it by taking half the dosage but I'm not comfortable with that idea."


"I tried the 2 week trial and I did lose about 7 pounds  and my sugar cravings were diminished. I wish I could continue but it is just too expensive. I wish it came in generic, however the patents don't start expiring until 2023 so it won't be anytime soon."


"It's been three days and this product has already dried up most of my spots, I can't wait to see the results of one week"


"Gives good relief but gives stomach pains side effect and paranoia side effect if taken more than 3 days"


"Acute depression for the 1st 4 weeks on this medication, then it tappered off. Other side effects: upset stomach, tingling in fingers and toes - daily, altered taste. The good side was it reduced the intensity of the migraines, but did nothing for the frequency of them.  Getting off of it now, tying Keppra.  Have had migraines since I was 8 and they have progressed in intensity and frequency as I got older, now 60. I expected to grow out of them - who knows!"


"I have just stopped taking Qsymia after being on it for 15 months.  I have lost 71 pounds and I am wearing a size 10 jeans!  I never thought I would see that day again after five kids.  I had very few side effects like dry mouth and some toe tingles and occasional numbness in my fingers and toes that would come and go.  Those were mostly in the beginning of taking it.  I would recommend this medication for weight loss!  Now I am eating small portions because my stomach has shrunk and able to exercise three to four times a week and I plan to continue all of these things.  This is the only weight loss drug I have ever taken, but I am sure glad I did after struggling for five years with no success on my own."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I've only been taking Beyaz for a week but I have noticed a slight decrease in appetite. I've had minor headaches and feeling bloated. I just hope I don't gain weight, the other pill I was on made me gain 20 pounds."


"Started on cymbalta 30mg in Aug 2017. I do suffer from anxiety and in addition to that I have herniated discs and problems in my neck. This medicine has been the greatest thing I have ever taken. Finally I can go to grocery stores alone and not have panic attacks in the middle of walmart. So my anxiety has greatly improved. The tingling and dizziness I would get in my head and arms is gone. My neck pain has improved but it could get even better if I could increase my dose to 60 mg. But my blood pressure is at times is too high. Once this is under control they will increase cymbalta. I have had no side affects at all on this medication and feel like I can live again. Mood has improved and I feel like myself again."


"I have only been on Yaz for 1 week now, though I already feel like it has done wonders. I suffer very bad with PMS, so bad that I can make life changing decisions within a week of getting my period as well as hating life, not dealing with every day duties and having zero motivation. I am always active generally a happy, positive person though I found as I get older the worse my symptoms get. I have tried Nuvaring and Implanon both with bad side effects. With Yaz I feel a calmness and feel I'm in control. I'm happy again and wake up motivated, so far the only side effect has been a little breast tenderness and nausea. I'm sure this will pass. I agree each pill is different and for different women, I would definitely recommend!"


"Dr put my 4 year old on guanfacine for ADHD 1mg at AM and 1 mg at PM, he took for 30 days. He turned into a zombie plus taking 3 hour naps(before never took a nap) didnt want to play outside, constipated, sniffing of nose constantly, no appetite, clumpsy, complain stomach hurts, hallucinates. Took him off of pill he got insomnia, emotional crying, panic attacks, couldnt make his mind up as to what he wanted, always stayed at his Nana's every weekend, suddenly wouldnt stay, panic cry when Dad had to go to work or Mom had to go to store, wanted everyone to stay home.He has now been off of pill 3 weeks and is himself again....No 4 year old needs a narcotic, they are suppose to hyper and full of energy..He pays attention and is very smart."


"I have been taking this for a few months and i weighed myself when i started it, because ive always fought to loss weight and i gain very easily, and as of a few days ago i had a appointment and i got weighed and im up 15lbs! omg, i felt like i had gained but i didnt think 15. I take 1 pill every other day, cause it controls my life otherwise, when i take it, i have to stay home because im in and out of the bathroom for hours at a time. It does help with the pain and some of the bloating, but the weight gain, nope im not taking it anymore. I havent changed my diet since ive been taking it, i eat mostly a keto diet, as breads and anything carby makes me feel like crap and i get very bloated. I would like another pill for ibs-c /no weightgain"


"I have been on this four plus years and have not had any issues. It's easy, periods have been light and no weight gain or issues with mood. I highly recommend it."


"What  happened to this medication? I never had any issues with the little ball-shaped insert that was available last year, but I'm trying the cream tonight after a bout of antibiotics has left me less than comfy.. I would rather have the YI. I have no idea how I'm going to fall asleep and get up for work tomorrow when my lady parts feel like they're on fire. "


"This drug is a God-send for chronic pain. I couldn't move before and my life was miserable. But now I feel like a normal person and I can take care of myself again."


"Horrible I've had my period for 8 months still have it after getting my first shot in November 2015."


"I'm currently 27 years old, and my first opiate I tried and fell in love with was Hydrocodone. I got addicted almost instantly, I was on it for a total of 2.5 years, dosing 100mg daily.
Then I got into Oxycodone, from 2 reasons, tolerance and potency, used Oxy for 3 years, using 180mg daily. Then I went on to Diamorphine, using it for 1.5 years. That's 7 total years of heavy Narcotic use. My withdrawal almost killed me from dehydration, stayed in the hospital for 3 days, until I got discharged to go to the Methadone clinic by the RN. My insurance doesn't cover Rehab, so Methadone was my only option. I can say this proudly, that Methadone saved my life. From chasing the pills just to 'feel good' to having a beautiful wife and family."


"Works great for my Narcolepsy; the only complaint I have is that the price is prohibitive. It is the only medication that has worked effectively for my condition and with dramatic results."


"Working very good"


"The one side effect that I didn't see listed under side effects was itching"


"I had been on the pill for 7 years and had a good experience with them, but every time I'd forget to take a pill,  I'd bleed.  My husband and I decided to wait on kids so I got the Implanon inserted. I love the convenience of not having to worry about taking a pill or having to worry about being pregnant if i forget the pill. The only major downfall is the lack of sex drive. I've been on the Implanon for almost 2 months and it's affecting my sex life. My husband and I went from doing it 3 times a week to 1. I'm seriously considering taking it out early."


"I have been on Dupixent for 4 weeks. My skin began to clear up after two weeks and now is nearly completely cleared up.
Itching is another problem. It is now starting to stop. So, so far I'm pleased. My only worry is how long do I have to be on
Dupixent. It has been hard to get an answer--my doctor said one year but in another place I read that I'll always be on it."


"I used this on my first cruise and it worked great.  It was a week long cruise so I used two patches (each one lasts three days, and the last day was the travel home so I was no longer on ship).  Like many others who have posted here, I had pretty bad side effects that came on almost exactly 24 hours after I removed the second patch -- mostly vertigo and nausea.  They lasted 72 hours, the length of one patch dose.

I have read that you should only use the patch for one dose, the first three days, long enough to tide you over until your body is used to the constant motion, and that the withdrawals only happen if you keep going past that first three days."


"I'm an adult with ADD. Vyvanse changed my life. I'm on 70mg. My only problem is that I wish it would last about 3-4 hours longer."


"It gave me cancer"


"Cannot get to sleep. Extremely angry / irritated when first get up."


"I have been on Sertraline/Zoloft (on different doses at different times for different occasions) for about 6 years now, and it has helped me a tremendous amount. I highly recommend it."


"I had a terrible experience with this drug. First of all, it still took me a long time to fall asleep. When I did, I couldn't wake myself up when I had to. I also had hallucinations of flying creatures around the room, even with the lights on, that were very frightening. The next day, I felt like I had a terrible hangover, and had a headache that lasted all day. I was drowsy all day and just had to drag my self around, even into the next day. I really think the FDA needs to review this drug! Overall it was a very disturbing and unpleasant experience!"


"Using the 4mg pack for six days. Experiencing bad heart burn, difficulty swallowing, burping, and most bothersome are symptoms of a urinary tract infection."


"This medication worked for me from day one! The flow immediately smoothed out. No problems for the first week of use, which is how long I have been on it."


"This medication worked great for the situational issue I had been in but the withdrawl side effects that you're not told about were not worth it. I tried tapering off of it very SLOWLY 5 or 6 times and failed every time because the withdraw side effects were that terrible. I eventually got off of 100mg and it took about 2-3 months. I used a nail file to taper my doses with an astronomically high amount of B12 and Omega fish oils. I recommend seeing an Iridologist before going to a doctor for meds."


"I got modafinil a few weeks ago when I discovered a great review on the product. It has worked amazingly for me. I do not get tired nor do I lose focused on my tasks at hand."


"Depression got worse..I gained 16 pounds in less than three months and I had very elevated liver enzymes..please be careful with this medication"


"Zyban is a very strange feeling. I have been on it for three days and my urges are way down. I still fight triggers like coffee and post eating but even when I tried to smoke it tasted very strange and made me feel a little dizzy. Well see how the next couple of weeks go but I'm excited to quit! Only drawback is it is really hard to fall asleep."


"This medicine always does what it is supposed to do. My only problem is that it causes severe cramps. "


"Melatonin helped me to fall asleep (I have severe insomnia), and usually keeps me asleep for some hours, sometimes the entire night, which to me is incredible. It helped me get off the poisonous benzodiazepines. I did need at least 3mg to feel the effect, so if you're not feeling it, increasing doses might help. As a side effect, I think it lowered my blood pressure during the night, although I'm not sure. Studies did confirm it has this potential."


"This really helps my anxiety. I would have random bouts of anxiety throughout the day and this has reduced it by probably 90%. The interesting side effect I have from this medication is that I talk a lot in my sleep since starting it. It's not a bothersome side effect. My husband and I think the things I yell out are funny. I recommend this medication for anxiety."


"If you don't want it to itch DO NOT overlap the Drysol liquid! Make a path to cover your armpit like the old snake game on your cellphone and I haven't had my armpits itch in over a year.  I had sweaty armpits all through high school and I was very self conscious that people were seeing it every time I moved my arms so I would usually wear a sweatshirt.  I started college and I didn't want this to run my life.  I went to the doctors and the doctor told me I had Hyperhidrosis and prescribed Drysol for me.  Its been AMAZING.  I put it on every 3 days and I haven't sweated in my armpits since! I use normal deodorant without antiperspirant and it works perfectly!"


"Started adipex on 08/03/2015 weighed in at 265 and today is 8/11/2015 and the scale now says 253.6"


"Had to stop after 2 days because of severe side effect (dry throat, painful and swollen lips and dry mouth)."


"Following surgery I was administered with cyclizine IV for nausea and had an immediate adverse reaction. My whole body  was shaking my teeth were chattering uncontrollably I was losing sensation in my hands and feet and felt like I was falling into blackness. I had tightening in my chest and chest pains with an increased heart rate. And for 1 1/2 hours after it being administered I was unable to pass urine although I was absolutely desperate.  My heart rate remains higher than usual for the following 8 to 10 hours and I was unable to sleep also. I have now noted this drug with my GP and will take extra caution next time.  My nurses told me I was having a panic attack as I probably wanted to pass your in after my surgery. This was far worse"


"I found it really helped my asthma and has made a big difference in the quality of my life. However what I would say is that it did cause mood changes with me, these were very noticeable for the first few weeks it felt like I had drunk 10 tins of red bull. I was very confrontational; this subsided greatly though and in some ways made me more confident. I never take the tablets in a morning though always at night, or I will kick off for the slightest thing, which is totally out of character for me. "


"I've been on this birth control for about 6 months and I love it! Its helping me balance my weight, I lost 10 pounds on it! I have constant spotting with it but its not heavy and it doesn't leave anything on my underwear at all so that's pretty cool. 10/10 recommend."


"This medication works for me. I can get housework done, mow the grass, and just push myself to do things now. Sometimes I can't sit still. Side effects were sore muscles and nauseous which went away after a few days. Depression is gone. Only thing is it makes me nervous a little bit and on edge so I take something else for that."


"My life was sleep before I started adderall taking 15 mg twice a day and I'm still  tired but not sleeping like I was before. Only been taking it for a few days but has helped a lot. I only slept and worked and sadly that was my life for 5  years."


"I got the Paraguad inserted a few days before I left for France. I took the pill that softens your cervix the night before and Advil a few hours before. I was also on my period which supposedly makes the insertion easier. The procedure barely hurt at all! Just a little discomfort like a Pap smear but for slightly longer. I had moderate period craps that day and I was back to normal the day after! After day one, I have felt to good! I feel invincible and excited to know that I will not be having any accidental babies! I love not worrying about having to take the pill. I am curious how this will affect my next period but so far I love it so much and the procedure seriously was not bad for me at all. Good luck guys!"


"I had hyperthyroidism which was diagnosed when I was 37 . The hyperthyroidism gave me anxiety specially after knowing I had it. Would go to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack or stroke and was checked always and nothing was wrong. My anxiety attacks were so bad I once was taken in an ambulance with my feet and hands numb and blood pressure through the roof. Was given by a doctor in the ER 1 mg of lorazepam and felt the difference within 20 minutes.My thyroid got burned of and I take 1 mg in the morning and really can get through the day with no issues. Take sometimes .5 mg at night as I don't have sleep issues. After almost 2 years I feel like lorazepam has almost gotten me stable and going to start tapering off.Its a life saver."


"After first couple days, it felt as if it made a difference but that could've just been psychosomatic effects.  Basically, I haven't noticed any improvements in myself. If anything I have had a slight decrease in my mood, energy levels and overall motivation.  I will continue using the product for at least another month and in in the meantime get my levels checked to see if I'm getting any sort of benefit to using this product.  I will provide an update by next month."


"Good"


"I loved it got free samples. But can NOT afford the drug."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"i have AF

Was on Aspirin

Doctor wanted  me on Warfarin

Tried it, my AF came back, after six weeks and lots of blood tests my INR rate was still 1, knowing some of the worst case side effects I was not happy to be on it.

On Aspirin I had a life

On Warfarin, warfarin took over my life

Could not drink or eat certain foods

Could not take anti inflamatories (for Rhu Arthritis, taken as and when required, not regularly)

Worry about cranial bleeds brought on by taking Warfarin

Too much worry

Complained to the Dr that she had not explained the alternatives properly to me

Was put on Apixaban at my request

Also as a back up was put on a Betablocker, as advised by a

Dr in A and E after a scary AF attack

Now three months on Apixaban and life is good"


"When I first started taking Synthroid it was like waking up from a long sleep. Suddenly I had energy and I started to lose weight!

The only side effect is that my hands aren't as steady as they used to be. Some days it almost feels like I've had too much coffee and other days I don't even notice. Small price to pay for getting more energy!

My dose is 175. I get my blood checked every 3 months and my dose has been the same for 3 years now."


"I've been on this for a month and after the first two days I had spotting occur and it hasn't stopped since. I never had this problem when I was off birth control and when I was on Seasonique, unfortunately it's quite costly.I've also been extremely tired and experienced depression while on this pill. I'm switching as soon as this month ends."


"I was diagnosed with endometriosis about 10 months ago and although they removed it, I started to get the pain again a couple of months ago.  Instead of opting for more surgery I tried the pill even though I have anways gotten bad side-effects from hormone birth control methods. I tried Microgynon for a month, but put on about 7lbs of water retention. I then tried Yasmin and I've been on it nearly a month and I love it! I've had no cramps, my breasts are bigger (bonus for me after losing them after losing weight), I haven't put on any weight, no bloating and my skin looks clearer. LOVE IT!"


"I had chest pains and heartburn, feelings of nausea/anxiety...and no help with pain."


"I've been on the pill for more then a year now & I love it. I used to get really bad headaches before, horrible cramps & a heavy period twice a month. The pill changed everything no more constant headaches, no cramps or any menstrual symptoms, no acne, light flow 3-4 & no weight gain. The pills been great to me!"


"Started taking allopurinol at age 54 after trying to manage Gout through lifestyle and diet for 14 years. Adopted vegetarian diet, limited use of alcohol and was not overweight. What finally "cracked" me  was a severe attack in one of my ankles, whereas previous attacks (about 1 / year) always struck the left toe joint. Attacks were typically prompted by severe exertion and dehydration. Uric acid level had crept up to 7.2 and stayed there. Started on a regiment of 300mg Allopurinol  and 10mg/colchicine.  It prompted an initial, minor flare-up, but none since. Stopped the colchicine after 6 months and am continuing the allopurinol 300mg once daily. Most recent uric acid level is 5.2 and have had no issues, or side-effects."


"I have been on Depakote for about two years now, and it has certainly been effective in stopping both Grand mal and Petite mal seizures. I was diagnosed with localization-related epilepsy when I was 21, but this drug is great in that it treats many types of epilepsy. Still, I did experience negative side effects, such as hair loss, a little weight gain, and drowsiness, although all of these were slight enough that they didn't really affect my life. Because Depakote isn't ideal for young women like myself, my doctor suggested I try another drug. After a brief stint on Keppra (which made me feel like I was walking in a haze - awful!), however, I switched back to Depakote, only this time adjusting was way harder - I was incredibly emotional."


"Only started yesterday, but in these 2 days - great.  Number of trips to the bathroom during the day went from at least 12 to 5 yesterday and 6 today.  I slept through the night last night without needing to get up once.

Best of all, I was in the car running errands for over 2 hours and experienced absolutely no urgency.  Small sample, but so far so good!"


"I had thought that quitting smoking was hopeless.  Even when I started taking Chantix, I didn't think I could quit.  My last cigarette was May 29, 2013.  I am thrilled beyond belief.  My insurance paid 100% for the Chantix but I would have readily spent what it cost just to quit that nasty habit. I took it for 3 months as instructed.  It changed my life. I feel empowered and strong and healthy.  I am grateful."


"I'm 24 years old and I would have to say Mirena is the most effective birth control. But with that, of course there are some side effects. I've gained about 30lbs, very heavy mood swings, I break out more than I normally do and I'm always hungry. I've had it for a year....my partner loves it, no complaints from his end. It is very convenient...the insertion was painful but after a month it was fine. I get a light 2-3 day period every 3 months which is great!"


"I got Nexplanon about a year and a half ago, and my periods stopped immediately. My only complaint is I had some hormonal acne flare ups when I first got the implant, but they didn't last long. Overall I'm very satisfied and would recommend it."


"Felt human within days!"


"I was put on Relafen when I had an epidural for back pain and arthritis, also 2 back surgeries.  I found a specialist when I start having pain in my lower back and sharp pain in my leg.  My doctor put me on Relafen taking 2 pills a day.  My symptoms were well managed by this medicine.  I had no side effects and I was able to function quiet well. I think this medicine is a very good one for the type of pain I have for my back and pain down my thigh. I really recommend this to anyone with back or leg pain or arthritis in the back. It really works."


"The first two weeks of being on the nexplanon was the worst. I had my period and my arm from the insertion was hurting like anything for the longest time. One thing I hate about this birth control was the weight gain. I started the nexplanon in May 2014 and ever since then I gained 17 pounds. No matter how healthy I eat or how much I exercise, I cannot lose the weight. Not only was the weight a big downside, but I was so moody all the time and lost my sex drive. The only good thing about this birth control was not having my period for over a year which can also be a scary thing for most people. Also it is 99.9% effective so I felt very safe on nexaplanon. However I do not recommend this birth control option."


"Me and my boyfriend had protected sex but the condom broke, I took Next choice about 8 hours later. I had no symptoms, it seemed strange because I usually get symptoms with next choice. I got my period two days late, but hey better late then never. "


"My dermatologist gave me Epiduo with some antibiotics and a cleanser. I was told to apply it every night before I go to bed. My skin did become red, flaky and irritated but after 1 month of using it non-stop my skin started to clear up. Thanks Epiduo."


"Works great....You don't have time to notice the depression when dealing with the tinnitus, heart palpitations, desert mouth, upset stomach, brain zaps, etc etc..."


"I took Abilify for a year for treatment of bipolar disorder.  Towards the end, I was getting Parkinsonian symptoms and had to stop taking it.  Also was having hand tremors and feet tremors."


"I have been on this medication for about 2 years now and I absolutely hate it. It worked very well the first couple months (originally went on it for acne) but then it started going down hill. I gained an unbearable amount of weight on my stomach and hips. My moodiness is disastrous to the point where I have can't have a normal conversation with people some days. I get extremely emotional, to the point where I cry over very small things. Not to mention, my appetite has spiked x100. I need to get off this asap. I don't recommend."


"I got diarrhea, headache, muscle ache, flu like symptoms."


"I started taking Adipex in Sept and went in on Dec 7th for my three month check in and I lost 38 pounds. I am 5' 8" and began weighing in at 259 and am now down to 221 and this is without including exercise. Walking is part of my daily routine, I walk a lot throughout the day as I'm running between classes and then to go to work.
I did experience some side effects the first week like being light headed, dizziness and a dry mouth. But I use that to increase my water intake. My doctor actually recommended I only take it about 5 days a week so that my body doesn't become so used to it and that's what I have been doing. So far, so good and I can't wait to continue losing weight."


"Ive been on this tablet for 3 years now and whilst it was an initial improvement to what I had been prescribed previously its side effects do build up over time. Joint and bone aches. Memory loss,fatigue, itchy tired dry eyes, weight gain, sugar cravings, raynauds syndrome , nails and hair very slow growing.Oh and yeah I looked up what it contains and im horrified to see sodium hydroxide =caustic soda (drain cleaner) ."


"THANK YOU PLAN B! This pill worked its magic on me. We had our little oops on July 31st Friday night and the next morning we immediately went out to purchase it. So I took the pill within less than 24 hours. I felt some side effects no doubt. head ache & nausea. BUT!  I started my period Sunday night, which was a big relief."


"I am a 51 year old female, have been on Saxenda for one month now and have lost 10 lbs. I have had no side effects, other than the odd day of redness around my injection site.  No nausea, or vomitting.  I have had occasional constipation, but find that has been when I haven't drank at least 6-8 glasses of water.I'm eating much healthier, more vegetables and fruit, smaller portions of meat and cheese...NO FAST FOOD.  My appetite has definitely decreased, and I don't have the same cravings as before.  I am listening to my body more, and recognizing hunger as opposed to mindless snacking just because.  When I feel like a treat, I have dried apple slices, hummus and low cal. crackers, healthy snack bars instead.  Motivated :)"


"I am a 64 year old female.  I have been on antidepressants since I was 13.  I have been diagnosed with PTSD, Bi-polar and major depressive disorder.  I felt most normal while taking Prozac, however, during the past ten years, I lost both parents, made a major move, and my husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.  The Prozac just didn't seem to be working.  My physician switched me to Wellbutrin,  and then to Cymbalta...the Cymbalta and my stomach didn't hit it off, so she put me on Brintellix.  I am very pleased with this medication.  I do have nausea, so I try to eat something before I take it.  I seem to be hot all of the time, some itching, and I have had a significant weight gain! Which is not listed as a side effect."


"I started using phentermine on January 6 2009. So far I have lost 4 stones with no side effect within 5 months. I do exercise about 4 time a week on the threadmill and cut down on my fatty food. I don't even take this tablet regularly sometimes about 3 days in a week and it is still work for me. Good luck."


"I have had Mild Psoriasis for about 20 years. I mostly used clobetasol or otc hydrocortisone creams and moisturizers. 2 years ago I had a persisternt flare up that did not respond to topical. I started Otezla 18 months. I had Psoriasis lesions on my knees elbows and ankles only. I started laser treatments and Otezla at the same time. I was 95 % cleared after 3 months. I thought it was great but then I started getting lesions in places I have never had before. I had severe lesions on hands and on plantar aspect of feet.  Otezla stopped working for me. I restarted laser treatments and that really helped, after 1 month my lesions are 75% improved.  I got use to Gastrointestinal side effects but I have decided to stop Otezla."


"I was depressed since I could remember, always low energy and just wanting something to kill me didn't matter, but Prozac helps me a lot. I still have my bad days but they aren't as severe of frequent. Thanks Prozac!"


"Growing up, I thought straining to poop and sitting there for 30+ minutes was normal. I'm 25 now, and due to my recently discovered kidney problems, I also discovered that those things are not normal. So, my husband one day asked my mother in law to pick up some metamucil for me at the store on her way to our apartment. None of us knew much about it because we had never taken it before. She bought the sugar free orange flavored kind. I started taking 1 teaspoon daily and it has seriously CHANGED MY LIFE. I'm no longer constipated, nor do I get diarrhea, and my chronic nausea has been cured. Usually I go once a day now, but on occasion I have gone 4 times, but all healthy. I love it!"


"I'm a 33 yr old male who was 198lbs. at 5' 5". I have been taking Adipex-P 37.5 since June 16, 2011. 5 weeks later, I have lost 15 lbs. (183 lbs) that's about 3 lbs. per week. I haven't changed my meals that much but I wasn't a big eater before. I've just cut way down on sodas and drink mostly water. Dry mouth and constipation are the only side effects I've experienced but that is where the high amount of water intake helps. One thing I learned after starting this is that drinking ice cold water helps you lose weight because your body burns calories trying to bring that water intake up to body temperature. My goal was to get down to 165 lbs so after 5 weeks I'm half way there."


"Lortab is wonderful for my pain. I was in a really bad car accident. "


"I have been on every medication out there to help with my anxiety,/depression.  I was taking effexor which worked at first but I noticed that my head was just filled with unnecessary garbage to say the least.  My Dr took me off of the effexor and replaced it with brintellix and saphris which really helped my moods and depression.  But my anxiety was still affecting me to the point I thought I was having a stroke.  He prescribed my 1 mg of Xanax 3 times a day and wow!  The difference is night and day!  I am actually able to function normally and am so relieved.  I'm still scared to be taking it because of the addiction that can come with it,  but with my Dr's guidance I am feeling better about this medication.  My anxiety has subsided! Grateful!"


"Well, I must be a really bad case.  Seems like 10-20 mg does the trick for most people.  I'm a singer/guitarist.  I took 10 mg the first time one hour before performance...didn't work.  Next time took 20 mg....didn't work.  Next time I'll try 30 mg.  I'm only 5'3", 103 pounds."


"My neck joints were was injured in a car crash 5 yrs ago causing chronic pain. After 15 months of misery and narcotic pain relievers, my doctor prescribed Ultram. It helps makes my life bearable with NO side effects. Surprised to read other user say "most" get feelings of euphoria as that has never happened to me or anyone in my pain support group."


"I just started taking it last Thursday and I am so happy that it is working, no headaches (except one today).  I feel like I'm in a dream!  No one around me understands how miraculous this is, suffered with them for 30 yrs now.  I feel like a normal human."


"It seems this is a love/hate type of drug.  I'm allergic or have severe side effects to many antibiotics.  My guess is most people that do not have a problem with this antibiotic do not post.  This is my antibiotic of choice.  I do not get any of the side effects and never had anything but positive results over the years.  Be reasonable - discuss it with your doctor and a pharmacist on what most patient responses are to this drug.  Personally I've never asked because it works great for me."


"I was suffering from severe body pain, muscle ache due to severe exhaustion after a tiring day at work. Came home, had some dinner and took one Advil-liquid gel (with food works best for me), and when I wake up in the morning, it's almost like what was I complaining about? I was back at the gym working out."


"I was on this pill for 3 years and absolutely loved it. I had no negative side affects during this time.  My pharmacy stopped providing this pill around July 2015 and I was switched to something else until September 2015 when I was told Lo Loestrin was available again.  I immediately gained 10 pounds (I ran daily and ate healthy) and started to develop hives off and on for the next 4 months.  I ended up gaining 35 pounds over an 8 month duration due to the change in the chemical makeup of the pill that occurred in the fall of 2015.  Be wary if you have any sort of hypersensitivity to hormones as I do."


"I was only on it for about 3 months! I was on the toilet all day with explosive diarrhea!! I lost 40 to 50 pounds within that time period. My weight was down to 125 pounds. I’m 42 years old now. The last time I weighed 125 pounds was in high school!"


"I have had what I see as pretty bad social anxiety, to the point where I look back and realize how much life I have missed out on. It took me a while to actually become aware of it, but for some time now I have been dwelling on it since it makes it super hard to make friends. So, I usually see myself as not having very effective medications (such as SSRIs) for depression/anxiety etc. Either that, or it's hard to notice improvement. I specifically wanted to go on a medication for my social anxiety so my doctor ended up putting me on zoloft and I love it...I can actually see improvement and I have even made a friend. It's to the point where I feel like I can notice myself being more anxious when I forget to take it at the beginning of the day"


"I was originally using a combination of benzoyl peroxide and tactuo but was still breaking out a bit and wanted to see if there was something else that could clear my skin up even more. I was prescribed aczone and was instructed to use it every morning in replacement of my benzoyl peroxide. After two and a half month of using aczone my skin is the worst it's been in years. I have breakouts all over my face. I am incredibly disappointed with this product."


"I was prescribed this medicine to treat my petite mal seizures. I was never warned of any potential side-effects, and never thought to ask, seeing as I had never taken a medicine before. After I began taking this, my seizures graduated to full out grand mal seizures. I couldn't speak, I couldn't understand others' speech, and I couldn't sleep more than a few hours most nights. Everything came to a heads about four months after I began taking the medicine, when I couldn't remember how to say "Bye" to my dad. I would have rather had seizures EVERY day than stay on Topamax! I got off of the medicine, and am now on Lamictal, under which I haven't had any seizures or side-effects in the two years I've been taking it."


"I was taking Opana ER 20 and was switched by my doctor to Emeda 30 1.2MG. I experienced a significant increase in pain level and break through pain occurred within 2-3 hours. Other adverse effects included sweating, nausea, and constipation."


"So I had times where I'd black out and have amnesia. Basically it would scare my parents and after the second time it happened they took me to the doctor. We went through all the test and they all came back normal except for my EEG. it came back abnormal. I was immediately put on keppra and hated every second of it. I started off with 500mg 2x a day. After the first dose I was hallucinating and very confused. The four hour mark was the worst. I was super loopy and couldn't focus for nothing. the medicine caused me to have mood swings and go into a deep depression. My advice if you have any sort of mental illness DON'T TAKE IT.  I've struggled with Bulimia, Anxiety, Depression, and Bipolar disorder for years. Seizures stopped. Wasn't worth it"


"I stated taking Contrave a week ago I lost 7lbs so far. I don’t feel hungry but I eat about 3X a day low carb some protein and fiber. I drink plenty of water. I sometimes feel nauseous. I don’t like to take medications but I am trying to continue taking it because it seems like it’s working. After reading some of the reviews I am more confident about it now. I’ve been thinking about major side effects with Contrave but no one has reported any so far. Good luck everyone in this weight loss journey."


"So I've been taking this pill for two months and right off, I got some bad side affects. I'm always tired and moody. I lose my appetite or I'm just too nauseous to eat. I even have more freckles and got acne, which I didn't have before. The only good that came out of this pill, is I get my period and I lost weight."


"I have been taking Zoloft for panic disorder/agoraphobia for just over a year. Literally best decision EVER!!! I'm on 50mg and had side effects (loss of appetite, nausea, tight jaw) for about a month but they COMPLETELY went away after that. And none of the side effects were honestly that big of a deal to me. It took about a solid 8 weeks for me to fully feel like it was working so hang in there if at the 6th week mark you don't feel much different! Zoloft has CHANGED my life. I can't even begin to describe it. I haven't had a panic attack since I started the medicine. I read so many reviews on so many different sites. All i can say is do not give up. I'm SOO glad I stuck it out. If Zoloft doesn't work, try another! *But patience is KEY."


"Doctor prescribed a month ago.  Today is my first follow-up and I lost 14 lbs.  Initially, dry mouth, insomnia, and slight headache plagued me.  But after about 5 days, all of that subsided.  I only eat chicken, turkey, and white fish, veggies and fruit while working out for at least an hour, 4 days per week.  After a cup of black coffee in the morning, the only other drink all day is water.  I hope the progress continues.....goal is to lose 40 lbs and keep it off this time!"


"Was the best help I had ever. Bring it back.
"


"I got the Paragard because I was sick of having to pick up my pill prescription and I love the idea of a non-hormonal birth control. I really wanted to get my body back on its natural cycle as I have been on the pill for years. The insertion was PAINFUL, as expected. Would not recommend working that day. But so far I am loving it. I bled for the first 4-5 days, nothing too heavy, and have since stopped. My sex drive has already increased, and I lost 5lbs within a week of being off the pill (added bonus). I have not reached my first period with it yet, so I am expecting more cramps/heavier bleeding, but that's a small price to pay in my opinion. Lots of negative reviews on here, so I wanted to write a positive one!"


"I completed the series of 3 Orthovisc injections Aug. 15 and sadly not noticing much improvement.  I read from one comment that relief wasn't noticed till about a month so I am hoping like crazy that it will work.  After the first injection it seemed like there might be hope for my knees and I gave a 10-15% improvement but nothing after the first go round.  Had a good Dr. that used an ultrasound so the needle wasn't too bad.  More pressure then pain but I am disappointed with the results so far."


"I have tried several medications for my major depression over the years and Emsam side effects have, by far, been the smallest.  There are no sexual side effects, no weight gain, etc.  My moods are not "monotone" like I had felt on some of the other medications.  The only drawback to this medication, in my opinion, is the food/drink watch.  I personally don't have to modify much, but if you drink a lot or eat a lot of aged foods, this will be an issue for you on Emsam.  Also this is an MAOi so there are medication interactions as well.  But mood wise, depression, anxiety...this is the best ever!"


"I've always had VERY Irregular periods due to kidney failure. Im 22 years old and have went as long as 6 years without a period. The first time I was prescribed Provera I took 1 10 mg pill a day for 10 days. It took 2 weeks to get my period, I was so excited because I didn't think it was going to work for me. My period came back for 6 months without missing a beat, after it stopped coming I had to redose and I'd get it for another 6 months at a time. I was having the worst time falling but finally a miracle happened for me! If it wasnt for provera giving me my period Im almost certain I wouldn't be holding my baby girl in my arms. I would give it a 10 rating if it wasn't for me having to redose so often"


"I started taking this about 3-4 weeks ago for Hip Bursitis. I'm 42 and very active with running, golfing, lifting, yoga, you name it. Pain started about 1.5 years ago and I tried physical therapy, stretching multiple times a day, heat/ice, which only offered temporary relief. I took this and within 2 days the pain was gone. I do notice the hip, it will stiffen up a little when golfing but that's about it. Great stuff! After reading all the I reviews, I'm really hoping I don't have to take this forever... just as needed."


"I have tried every single BC method available and Mirena is by far the worst. My strings disappeared about 6 months after insertion, had to get an ultrasound. OBGYN said it was fine, but from then on I had no strings to check (as they recommend you do once a month to make sure it's still in place). I let it go because the benefits were still outweighing the negatives.

Then I started getting just about every side effect imaginable. Mood swings, zero sex drive, acne for the first time in my ENTIRE life, weight gain that I cannot lose, non stop spotting for the entire 5 years. I honestly don't know how I made it 5 years. My doctor had the nerve to say I was "exaggerating" my side effects, but now without mirena I'm so much better!"


"I started taking Zoloft October of 2011. Although it has helped me tremendously with anxiety, depression, and severe mood swings. It makes me very tired and withdrawn. And I've gained 20 lbs since October 2011! I haven't seen a lot of reviews with this type of side effect for Zoloft, but I know I'm not over eating to that degree.  3lbs I gained since my Dr visit last week. My Dr lowered the dosage by 1/2. But needless to say the weight gain is more depressing then anything."


"I've been living with chronic pain now for over 5 yrs due 2 DJD, Rhuematoid Arthritis, 5 Herniated Discs in my neck, 2 in my Lumbar Spine. I started seeing a Pain Management Neurologist and between Trigger point injections, Prednisone as needed, Tramadol 200mg-400mg a day if needed I was finally able to function again. There wasn't any side effects that occurred while I took it and I found this medication extremely effective. It never removed my pain completely but did allow me to function again. As anyone w/chronic conditions we must learn to live with some pain. There's no natural or man made Opiate in Tramodol but it works similarly as a drug that contains an Opiate. I was on this drug on/off for almost 3 yrs and no addiction issues."


"I have been on qsymia seen 4/1/2015. I had tried everything to lose weight and was unable to do it. I love to cook and love to eat. We eat out a lot and have a lot of company. Up to this point I couldn't control portions. I ate a lot. Once I stated this drug
At 7.5 I started losing and controlling my portions. I joined weight watchers , expertise do  great deal and have lost 47 pounds. I have 3 more pounds to lose. I did see that I was losing my hair and it thinned a great deal. I also have trouble sleeping.  The good far out weighs the bad. When I had only 10 pounds to go I started taking it every other day. This has helped me with the hair loss .
I have been eating what I want more or less ."


"I started this about 3 months ago my cycle still comes on in the middle of the blue pills and i've passed out twice I wouldn't recommend this"


"First time was rough to start but not many side affects. I just started taking it again after being off a year, and my body seems to be accepting it as if I never stopped. This med has worked great for my anxiety and depression."


"Excellent medication to aide in a good nights sleep"


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


"I never broke out my teenage years but once I hit mid 20's.. I constantly battled adult acne. No matter how well I took care of my face and washed it, I couldn't get rid of stubborn acne. Decided to go to the dermatologist & at first he tried to prescribe me a separate antibiotic & retin-a cream until I told him I didn't have insurance and if there was an one product that would be similar in one. I'm so glad he mentioned Ziana. It was pricey out of pocket but he gave me a coupon type card for the pharmacy to drop it down to $65 rather than $300! (good for 6 refills) I didn't have the side affects that others mentioned rather my acne cleared up within a month! SIDE NOTE: USE A  SPARINGLY AMOUNT! a little goes a long way."


"My issue is anxiety.  I have tried Effexor, Lexapro, Prozac, and finally Cymbalta.  Last month, I told my doctor I was done with these medications.  I was willing to live with the anxiety because the uncontrollable weight gain was making me depressed.  He listened and prescribed a very low dose of Cymbalta.   Thank you so MUCH.  I feel so much better.  I am finally able to lose weight without trying.  Before, I could not convince myself to even diet for one day. It was impossible. Never an issue prior and now thankfully I have control over my eating.  I was always ambivalent about everything.  Now things impact me within reason.  I don't obsess but I still care."


"I was on the medication for over 2 years. Went off to get pregnant.  My psoriasis has come back 100 percent worse.  2x as bad 2x more spots. I am now covered everywhere it is a disaster."


"Have been prescribed this med twice before. First two times worked like magic. Just swept the urge to cough away. This time, years later, same story. After 8 days of continuous wracking coughs, and 20-hours a day in bed, gave up on OTC-DM tablets and went for better help. After 1 perle, the coughing has subsided.  No side effects. Bliss."


"No problems, feeling great, breathing better today. 750 mg 4 days left."


"This is my first birth control I have ever taken. I am 28. I am on it due to severe Endometriosis. I am on my 4th pack in the first week in. My periods went from having severe bleeding with large clots, and mucus for 8 days, to now having lighter period with few clots for 5-6 days. I noticed the first packet I was nauseous. I don't have much of an appetite, and I haven't gained weight in fact it helped the severe bloating I had. My hormones before were horrible I was severely depressed, and cried every night. Now I don't cry and am more happy. I noticed my breasts are tender everyday though more so when I have my period. I still get a little moody on my period, but it is manageable. It also helped my pelvic pain a bit from the Endometriosis"


"I went on Chantix and I have been smoke free for 8 months. I have not even cheated nor do I have any desire to smoke now or ever again. I have tried many times to quit but this is truly the best product out there to quit. You must want to quit. I dealt with a bit of insomnia and some nausea. However, if you truly want to quit you will deal with your "side effects" for the 3 months. I did and am so glad and proud.  Thank you Chantix."


"I started this last night at bed time. Woke up with cramping and sore muscles In my legs back and sides."


"BAD EXPERIENCE FOR ME. First side effect was tired. Turned into totally wiped out. Lack of energy, feeling sore, then the sore throat! This drug kicked my butt. It's not for me, I want to be outside active.. This drug will keep you on your sofa..... I'm going back to my old faithful. I tried this because of the coupons."


"I've been taking xanax for anxiety and its s life saver!! Works really well; always carry a bottle in my purse. The only cons are that it can make me sleepy at times and it has an unpleasant aftertaste."


"Started taking Prozac for bulimia/depression about three weeks ago. The first week I was on a low dose (10mg) with no positive or negative side effects. The second week I was on 20mg and was less depressed but still not a positive effect for my problem. I'm at the end of week 3 and on 40mg and I can really see a difference now. Haven't had the need to binge/purge in 5 days and my appetite has decreased to where I only eat the regular 3 meals/day. Because of this I've actually LOST 3lbs. Also I'm more motivated to do things now with this medicine. I'm very happy with this medication so far. Only negative is I've noticed it's been harder to go to the bathroom. Not sure if it's the medicine, but it's the only thing I can think of."


"I originally has mild pustular acne. I used Veltin for 5 weeks before giving up.  My face became red, weeping, stinging, and covered in cystic acne while using it.   I used it once a night as prescribed and would use Cetaphil lotion on my face morning and night to try to hydrate my skin. It got to the point where I did not want to go to work because of comments. Just putting water on my face made me cry.  Within 2 weeks of stopping my acne is back to mild and my face is healing with 2 scars from where it was peeling and weeping."


"At first, I had to take it with a high protein meal...and even then, I had some nausea.  Now I've figured out a way for it to not cause nausea, yet get into my system:  Take RIGHT BEFORE you go to bed!  This way, it gets into my system, helps me to sleep 7-8 hours a night, and I feel in control of my feelings/moods instead of a slight "fog" all the time.

THIS medicine works;  the others I've tried (Ritalin, Dexedrine) produced unwanted side effects.  I'm staying with what works!"


"Been on invega for two weeks 9mg weigh 130 and 5' 8''. Just started my loading dose of injection 234 mg. Does not help me sleep am on rendering 15 mg for sleep. Had heart palpitations only once and hope not to have it again since starting shot I've been OK. Paranoia is at a minimal and mood is stable. Seems to be going good."


"Stevens Johnson syndrome  Beware"


"I got the Skyla inserted on about day 5 of my period and I was still having a pretty heavy flow. My doctor had me put the Cytotec into my vagina the night before to soften my cervix. That night I took about 400 mg of Ibuprofen because I didn't know if it would cause cramping. I felt nothing from the pill and wasn't in pain. So I went to get the Skyla put in and my doctor said the pill had worked and my cervix was soft. My doctor numbed my cervix which really was uncomfortable because I hate getting shots especially there. I'm not really sure if the numbing did much as I still felt discomfort. The pain was very mild for me though, it just felt someone was poking as far up you as they could possibly go. The procedure was very quick though."


"I am a graduate student who has never had children and got the mirena because IUD's have the highest rate of success (especially over time) for birth control. The insertion was painful (pain scores 7-8) but I slept for a couple hours after the procedure and when i woke up the pain had subsided to a 2-3 (out of 10). I had very light spotting the first couple of weeks, but have not had a period since the insertion (I had the device placed early June 2015). I have noticed some moderate back acne and slight weight gain, but I am unsure whether those can be attributed to other life circumstances at this point. If the weight gain continues I will write another review, but at this point my experience has been great."


"I Hate It!!! I'm 19 had it for about a year got it in May 2015. I was happy with it for like a month after that I can't stand it!!

1. I bleed for three weeks and stop for 4 days then start again. (been like this for 12 months ) It's very uncomfortable.

2. Major hair loss. That it's makes me sad

3. Horrible depression and mood swings it's  horrifying. Constantly fighting and mad for no apparent reason.

4. Really bad back pain.

5. Weight  gain. I can't lose it.

6. And lost of headaches

I don't recommen it at all I waste so much money on pads and tampons  and it's had a major affect on my marriage and it's made me very unhappy and lost all of my self esteem."


"My doc and I have been playing around with different medications for my depression.  I have tried the normal like Prozac, Cymbalta, Effexor, and another one that I can't remember.  Both my normal doctor and psychiatrist both say that I am not even allowed to try Wellbutrin due to my history of epilepsy when I was a child.  NOTHING has worked until now.  My son has been dealing with medical issues that had put me into this deep depression and his recent passing kind of pushed me even further.  I was given the starter pack and the side effects haven't been that bad, a little gastrointestinal upset but that resolves quickly. I am about to start my 40mg tomorrow.  The only thing is do NOT miss a dose even by a few hours.  You will feel the withdrawal symptoms."


"Treated"


"So I get constant bladder infections and honestly, they ruin my life, I have to take time off work which I don't want to do I sit uncomfortable for a good 50% of my life it's horrible. I would take anything to stop constant bladder infections, I have to say I have been on this tablet twice now last two times was 50g four times a day, and it literally got rid of my discomfort in about two hours!!! I had mild headache but never put two and two together ! But now I'm on 100g twice a day and I read these reviews and like clockwork I felt instantly awful now more days off work :( it's the worst but is it physchological? Or is it because the change in dose ? I feel awful my head is foggy and I feel anxious tired and sick"


"This device saved my sex life! Sinse insertion (that wasn't that bad) I've not had one thrush infection! I know people say IUDs can make infections worse, but for me it's been a life saver. I have lost weight and my mood and libido have greatly improved. I am 24, no kids and have tried every other Birth Control under the sun (including Implanon) all gave me constant thrush and weight gain! Amazing such a small thing can reap such positive changes!!"


"As a college student, I felt like I needed some support to get me through difficult times that I couldn't do myself for a number of reasons. I tried meditation and relaxation but to no prevail. My twin has been on Lexapro for years now, so I went to my PCP to try Lexapro. It was not helpful at all - it made me want to chain smoke, when I drank it was not a pretty combo, and I was constantly tired. When I got on Wellbutrin starting out at 150mg, it's like I finally saw the light. Everything has just been so much better! I can concentrate better, I'm almost always in a good mood, and I haven't had any huge issues with anxiety. Now I've been on 300mg for almost a month, so we'll see how this goes!"


"I really did think that is was a pretty good medicine had no problems with it."


"I use it for Trigeminal neuralgia and it is working great! I was first prescribed Tegretol and it worked for about a year but then the pain started to return. Doc said the Tegretol was being metabolized at a faster rate and she switched me to Trileptal. It worked in about 8 hours! And, as others have noted, you do struggle for words and have a bit of short-term memory impairment, but the pain is gone! Also, so is your libido! Tegretol was like taking Viagra, increased libido! But, it's still a better life without the pain."


"I was taking the combination drug Caduet, of which Lipitor was one of the two drugs. Steadily over a year my doctor increased the medication from 20mg to 40mg, and then about three months ago he increased it to 80mg. Within a month I was experienceing severe tiredness, and eventually sever muscle weakness, coupled with elevated CK readings. On doing some research on the drug I found that the symptoms I had were indeed a major drug reaction. Although Lipitor helped in the reduction of my cholesterol levels, the side effects were debilitating. Within a week of having the medication changed to a non-statin I was beginning to feel better. A month later I am close to being back to my old self. There are other better alternatives."


"I started this medication 5/8/2017. I had severe nausea and headaches the first 3 days and then nothing after that.  It has decreased my appetite but no weight loss as of yet. I have decreased my carb intake and drinking more water added exercise.  So I am hoping to see some results by week 2.  If not then it will let me know its does not work for every body type.  Just frustrated with the weight and this stomach apron."


"Well I just started the medication two days ago so I can't really say yet. But I can say the first day of taking it, I had the worst headache . But today, I haven't had a headache (knock on wood) I just hope this works, it's a struggle to shed pounds. I really just need a Jump start. I'm curious what time do you guys take the second pill? Is it 12 hours apart? I will report again soon"


"I've had the nexplanon for about 9 months now. I have been having irritation issues and it comes and goes I've been to the doctor multiple times thinking I had an STD but that wasn't the case each time. The irritation is itchy and inflammed and my sex drive is gone and I have dizzy spells and mood swings. I have an appointment scheduled to get this taken out asap. I would not recommend this birth control to anyone. I read up on it and it said that one of the side effects was vaginitis this is not good very painful"


"Was unable to take Lipitor because of aches and pains it produced but I can take pravastatin okay."


"I started taking lisinopril about five years ago and it worked beautifully. About a year and a half ago, I suddenly started feeling OLD (I'm 57).  But I felt 80 in spite of a healthy fairly active lifestyle.  I developed depression for the first time ever, memory issues, joint pains.  All attributed to age. Muscle aches, insomnia.  Now I am, out of the blue, being told I have GERD, which came on suddenly a month ago. I am thinking it might be the mediction. Its the one medication I take and I have no major health issues. But the decline over the past year has been significant."


"I love Tysabri! Having been on it a year and a half it's a lot better than Avonex. No more flu-like symptoms! I just hate having to sit for an extra hour or so to be monitored. I recommend this when all else fails."


"I love this product. I have been using it for the past 2 years it works like a bomb. no forgetting to take it, no weight gain like many of my friends have had who are on the pill. Just wish there was a cheaper version of it."


"I had a UTI and my Dr. prescribed Macrobid.  I'm allergic to most antibiotics and usually experience all the side effects possible so I read the reviews here and was so scared to take it that I waited a week to see if my symptoms would somehow go away on their own (they didn't).  I finally said a prayer and started the Macrobid.  The only side effect I had at all was a pretty good headache on days 1 and 2, which was relieved with Advil.  I wish I had started sooner!  Just remember that usually, the only people coming to these sites are people who have had bad reactions.  My pharmacist said that she's been prescribing it for 35 years and never heard of anyone having really bad reactions to it."


"Hated it. Sure enough I slept straight through for 8 hours but I experienced attacks of vertigo for 2 days afterwards.  Never again"


"This drug saved my life. Really helps control the obsessive thoughts. I have been taking it 5 years. Only side effect is increased sweating, but it's no big deal."


"Brain damaged/ developmental delay: I have a 5 year old who has been on Intuniv for 6 months after other medicine did not work. On Intuniv she is no longer up all night, aggressive at school and able to concentrate on her school work (she has been in school since age 3 in special education). I only wish the company would lower the 'age' on the medication so it would be covered under her adoption assistance Medicaid, its expensive at $153.00 a month."


"For two years, I have had chronic nausea that starts about an hour after waking up and lasts through mid afternoon. It is so bad I usually have to skip lunch. For various reasons, I believed it was anxiety-related, and after some research, asked my doctor if I could try mirtazapine due to its anti-anxiety, antiemetic, and appetite-stimulating properties. I could not be happier! The nausea was better the first day after taking it, and within two or three days was totally gone. I finally have my appetite back, too. I don't know that I'd recommend this medicine to people who are overweight, but for those who can afford or even want to gain weight it can be a lifesaver!"


"I had the paragard  2005-2015.  Absolutely no issues.  I went this route to avoid having to take a pill everyday or take time out of my schedule for a visit to an office for a shot.

I was 31 when it was inserted.  At the 10 year mark I wanted to get it replaced, ended up getting Mirena due to pharmacy ordering issues.  It's been just over a year with the Mirena and I am requesting to have it switched to the ParaGard. Although Mirena is low dose hormone IUD, supposedly restricted to the cervical/uterine location, I prefer just knowing there are no additional hormones ."


"I was prescribed this med for infection I have gotten better but side effects for me are stomachs cramps  diarrhea lightheaded  nausea and I'm very jittery at night having a hard time sleeping I'm glad it's not just me but I guess this med has pros and cons - 2 more days of hell"


"Helps more with anxiety than pain from my psoriatic arthritis, don't hardly know I take it. 900mg per day."


"DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE EVER CARED ABOUT YOUR VAGINA. I have used this monistat one before and didn't have any issues. THAT WAS NOT THE CASE THIS TIME. Maybe it's a bad batch but I have been unable to sleep and it has been over two hours since the excruciating and I really mean excruciating itching began. The burning sensation isn't all too pleasant either.  I was unable to stand due to the feeling of fire ants crawling around inside of me. Also as the medicine leaked out of me it proceeded to get on my butt so now not only are my lady parts itching and on fire but now by ass is as well. I have work in the morning. The only thing that has been getting me through the past couple of hours are reading everyone else's reviews. RIP MY VAGINA"


"Been on Belviq for 2 weeks, was 240lbs and now 218lbs. I'm very pleased. Constipation only side effect. For those with no insurance, the savings card can get you $75.00 off. Good luck to all you ladies who are trying to reach goal."


"Hi guys, I was prescribed paroxetine for general anxiety disorder, paranoia and depression. The drug didn't take effect until about 2 weeks which I quickly was relieved from my symptoms. However I spent a further 2 weeks feeling severe side effects- dizziness, further anxiety, difficulty sleeping and waking up, vivid dreams, lack of orgasm during sex, blurred vision and almost grinning as if I was on uppers.. though these side effects did pass I now only have vivid dreams and occasional nightmares... this drug has worked so well for me and I now feel back to my old self again happy everyday, my anxiety and paranoia have completely gone, I strongly suggest giving it a go but it may not work for everyone as you can read:) LOVE LIFE!!!"


"I had ate  alventa 75mg for 4 months and yet had anxiety and elevated heart rate. But,my sleep is good"


"I was prescribed risperdal about 6 months ago cause I suffer from schizophrenia and anxiety but am afraid of side affects also the doctor gave me celexa. Plus I suffer with seizures drinking tegretol and many others meds
I decided to give it a try for my family sake I had my first pill wishing things will work out just wanted to know Am I on the right track or is there something I should know before I expirience the unknown"


"I'm currently in my 6th week of this medication and couldn't be more pleased. For the first time since puberty I have skin that isn't excessively oily. This in itself is a miracle and my skin & scalp look fresh. I'm 28 and have experienced severe cystic acne for over 12 years and no combination of OTC &/or prescribed treatments have ever worked for me. I can't believe I wasn't prescribed this sooner. I'm still in shock that something is actually working to clear my skin. If you have hormonal acne please try this - you won't be sorry."


"I used this for only 1 night and I was in agony and felt like I was in fire.  I can’t believe something like this to treat yeast infections is so horrible. It just did not feel right. After some research I changed to canesten- which has a different active ingredient. I will never use Monistat again."


"Well I took Tri- sprintec for a couple of months. No problems. Then I stopped taking it for a month. Got back on it. It's been almost a month since I've been back on it and the first week I was bloated to where it was uncomfortable. Starting peeing a lot. Felt very nausea for 2 weeks. To where it would keep me up at night. After the nausea went away my boobs felt a little sore. But those symptoms slowly went away. The only big problem I have with It now is that it's making me obsess over my stomach. I'm naturally skinny and it's made me gain so much weight and on top of that I'm still extremely bloated. It's really making me really upset! Thinking about changing BC. Haven't had my period this month yet. Should start next week."


"I've been on Chateal birth control pills for almost a year from Planned Parenthood. LOVE it and I will forever continue to use it. These pills definitely make my period shorter, lessen the pain of my cramps, and helped my ACNE. I use to have the implant, and I had my period every single day and broke out on my face AND chest. Usually, I get bloated before my period comes. Once I start the green pills, bleeding begins on the 3rd or 4th day. I never experienced weight gain, or migraines."


"Diagnosed with Adenomyosis at 30 due to heavy out of control periods with extremely large clots. Fourth month on Natazia and it's reduced my periods to only 2-3 days of a light flow. Light enough where panty liners suffice. It's brought my life back to normal."


"I've had Implanon since January 2012, about a month after having my son, and other than gaining some weight. I've had no issues with it at all. I have a completely normal sex drive, normal mood swings, and I haven't had a period since it was put in!"


"I had abnormal uterine bleeding and I didn't know why. I started passing clots & was bleeding irregularly. I thought, at first, that I was having a miscarriage. I went to my GYN. She prescribed Provera 10mg once a day for 10 days. I just finished my prescription & the only problem that I'm having now is sensitive breast. Other than that, my bleeding has completely stopped."


"Back again to post another update.  Going on week 6 of citalopram.  Started on 10mg.  Felt I needed to boost it up to 20mg.   Things have been going great!  Haven't had a panic attack in over a week now.  I haven't experienced any side effects.  Just amazed.  Still happy I had courage to give this medication a chance.
Best wishes.  Panic and anxiety are awful to experience."


"Didn't do a thing"


"I have tried nearly all anti depressant/anxiety medication and Venlafaxine has been one of the best for me. My mood is more balanced, my sleep is improved and I am more motivated than before starting the medication.

The side effect of nausea lasts a short while after taking a dose ( 37.5mg 2 x daily for me) but the overall positive effects are worth while.

I found that Venlafaxine has a quicker effect than other SNRI's with fewer side effects."


"At 20mg, Cialis has no effect anymore.  However, when taking 2-20mg pills at the same time, I have the same effect as 1 Viagra except for a 36 hour period.  I would consider continuing with Cialis if a 40 mg pill was available.  I am 57 years old.  This may account for the lack of effect by the standard pill.  Taking 2 Cialis would not be cost effective."


"Great convenience with only one inhaler. Counter is very helpful. I do have some concerns over side effects and long-term use."


"If you are scrolling down at these reviews panicking wondering if this will work then stop it. I was in your shoes not that long ago. I took plan b on the 29th of January after having unprotected sex my boyfriend came inside me 100% I took it about 20 minutes after the incident was okay. The next day ... we had more unprotected sex  (yeah I'm aware how dumb we are) so I went to get plan b again couldn't find it so we had to settle for my way ( took it 2 hrs after) I was just really tired and had crazy cravings.. my period was late and I was so afraid but it came 2 days late and I was extremely happy! Don't stress it ! This  works !!"


"Very expensive, 1 month supply is 200 dollars"


"I haven't been on Lamictal for very long yet. But I want to thank all the people who shared how it has helped them. I am having a very hard time hanging on right now. I am getting married to the love of my life in 2 1/2 months and could care less. I am actually thinking about canceling the wedding altogehter. Depression is impacting my work and my relationships with my family. I don't see much point in hanging on at all.   Reading about how others have benefitted gives me a ray of hope that it will help me too at some point in the future if I can just hold on long enough. Thanks."


"Worked wonders!  Went off Depakote ER, lost the 50 lbs, went on Lamictal, also take 20 mg of Lexapro for depressive moods.  Feel great!"


"I am 82 yr old retired scientist, walking daily 4 miles in 1 hr. Suddenly I developed extreme arthritic pain in my right hip. Pain was unbearable at night. No pain killers helped including morphine. My doctor prescribed 200 mg Celebrex for 14 days. It helped instantly, particularly at night. Believe it or not, now I have pain in me left hip, my shoulders, elbows, and even severe pain in my left wrist! I have been off Celebrex for one week and I am relying on physical therapy to minimize the arthritic pain. No more Celebrex."


"I had a baby 12 weeks ago and have been on Apri since my 6 week postpartum appointment. I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and my periods have always been VERY irregular. I also get a few whiskers that grow on my chin from the PCOS. Since starting the pill I have noticed that those whiskers aren't growing anymore, also I have regular periods, my sex drive is normal and I have not gained any weight! INFACT I have lost 20lbs since starting it and have not changed my diet or exercise routine. I love this pill, this is why I rate it 10! Oh and after having 3 children there is a BONUS I am not pregnant."


"Realised I had a UTI after waking up with the symptoms I'm sure you all know...so decided to book an appointment as soon as possible. First dose I had a bad headache and nausea but nothing unbearable and by the second dose my symptoms were starting to disappear less than 24 hours after starting the medication. Nausea is still there about 2 hours after I take a pill but I'm nearing the end of my course. I understand that some people have bad reactions but in my experience this medication was great at relieving symptoms quickly and hopefully my UTI will be no more in a couple days."


"This drug has been an absolute life-saver! In fact, I had punctual plugs in before this and about 2-3 weeks in to starting this full time they actually worked TOO WELL, and my eyes were severely watering without the ability to drain. My doctor took the plugs out and that provided some relief but now I'm only taking one drop daily, followed by two drops on alternating days and it seems to be the right amount. This was initially making my eyes feel really goopy but after a month or so on it that's gone away (could've been the plugs causing this to a certain degree). My eyes have never been whiter and less irritated/burning sensation that plagued me before! I also took Restasis but would hands down suggest Xiidra if you're impatient!!"


"I take Dulcolax when I feel like my bowel system is playing up. Or to avoid serious constipation. I usually take it with a glass of water. But it doesn't help with the cramps, ever. It wakes me up at 6 am if 1 pill is taken between 10 p.m to 11 p.m. Cramps are top bad but the relief is great. Works almost every time for me."


"This medication has saved my life. I've had a chronic case of major depressive disorder, clinically diagnosed and treated for over 15 years.

When I was rudely and suddenly cut off this medication due to financial issues, I became suicidal and was hospitalized after a violent suicide attempt. I had never been suicidal before. I had never before been hospitalized for depression.

Today, I'm just grateful to have a better doctor. I'm very happy and proud to have a full year recovered from that horrible, tragic time a year ago when I was denied access to Wellbutrin."


"This is like a miracle drug. I couldn't even get out of bed without pain. Now I am pain free. Awesome"


"I've had severe insomnia for over three years and it was not uncommon for me not to sleep for two or three days in a row.  After trying several other prescription medications, none of which worked, my Doctor placed me on Seroquel.  I slept well but the side-effects were awful.  It gave me severe headaches and made me feel like a total zombie the next day.  However after the first week or so I decided to take one-half the amount prescribed and I still got the sleep but the side-effects disappeared. After three years of bad insonmia, I don't know what I'd do without it.."


"I started taking Adipex-P June 2008, I was 193 lbs (F- 5'3"), today I weigh 158 lbs.
At first I didn't really like the side effects, dry mouth, constipation, couldn't sleep, really bad headaches, so I went back to my doctor about a week after starting the pill. I had lost 10 lbs, I didn't want to stop.  The doctor suggested I cut the pills in 1/2 and to try to eat and drink more often, comes out that it worked for me.  I would take a 30 day supply, cut the pills in 1/2, and I don't do weekends, after that 30 day supply was done, I get off the pill for a month...make sure I don't just regain the weight. Oh, and I don't exercise or eat healthy, I just watch how much I'm eating. Also No soda."


"For me it works well, with some caveats. Take it for too long and it's effectiveness wanes around the 2 week mark. However, when you go back it works in full force again. I also noticed it was not needed EVERY day either, skipping days worked pretty well too... the second day just had a much lesser effect but still there.  Sexual effects? YUP! No ejaculate, reduced drive. All that. This is not a big deal to me. I am 50 and my wife works the opposite shift from me during the week so sex isn't happening anyway. When you stop taking them, 24-30 hrs later your back to normal. So I just typically take them on weekDAYS and deal with poor urine flow on day when sex is a possibility."


"Awful side effects! Caused me to feel very uncomfortable in my own skin, confusion and dizziness, severe anxiety, jaw clenching so tight it hurt, muscle pain and stiffness, sent me into a panic attack, which was what I wanted to prevent in the first place!"


"Had cores as a kid and adult, in 2010 Shingles popped out on the side of my face.....bad news times 10.

Acyclovir is the best, without it, well I do not want to think about that!"


"Went on this to try and get my hormonal acne under control, and while it took about six months to get rid of my acne, I couldn't be happier with it now. (I've been on it for about eight months, and now I don't have any cysts or whiteheads. It feels like a miracle!)"


"I took two pills with a couple glasses of water at bedtime and had a bowel movement approximately eleven hours later with no unusual discomfort at all. When I have prepared for examinations in the past it was always the bottle of citromag that you drink after the stool softeners that made me feel cold and crampy and that I should just stay on the toilet for the night. No problem with dulcolax at all"


"my doctor tried switching me from lantus to toujeo because my blood sugar was always high in the morning.  It started out working to bring my blood sugar levels down, but within four to six weeks, I had gained 10 pounds (and I am not tall), I had swelling, and I could barely feel my toes due to poor circulation.  I have never had problems with circulation that could not be regulated.  I have had type 1 diabeletes without too many complications for 35 years, and am otherwise, healthy.   I had to have my doctor switch me back to Lantus because Toujeo was destroying my body.   I hope this does not replace Lantus or I will not be around for long."


"This is my second colonoscopy.  The first one, four years ago, had a completely different prep that was pretty easy to handle - gatorade, bisacodyl laxative, polyethylene glycol 3350, magnesium citrate.  Very effective and not too bad.

This time (different doctor and city), they've prescribed a regimen of miralax, magnesium citrate, and suprep.  The miralax and magnesium citrate were fine.  The suprep, however, was the most vile thing I've ever had in my mouth.

It's not the cherry flavor, it's the sodium in the solution that causes the instant nausea when it touches your tongue.  I managed not to vomit the first prep, but couldn't handle the second.  And this prescription, not covered by insurance, cost over $100."


"I have been experiencing severe anxiety and depression as the result of a job loss and this medication has been amazing. I was unable to function until I began taking this medication.  It has truly been very helpful and has helped to lower my anxiety and depression."


"For several years, I have been on Provigil, with a small dosage of Ritalin as a supplement.  The Provigil was not enough for me, but it was much better than being on Ritalin alone.  Ritalin had a tendency to make me anxious and talk constantly.  Life is good now as a narcoleptic."


"I find myself sleeping alot, feeling depressed, I have for sure gained weight, and the worst of it all would be MOOD SWINGS."


"I took Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo for a year and gained 15 lbs on my 5'1 normally 105 frame. I am 19 and run 50-70 miles a week for track and cross country. I knew there was something wrong, as before I would lose up to 10 lbs during the season. I told my doctor I thought the weight gain was due to the pills, but she insisted it wasn't. As soon as I got off of OTCL, (became single and didn't need it) I lost those 15 lbs in 3 weeks and shocked my doctor. The pill definitely can, and was, the reason for weight gain. At least I never became pregnant. I have switched to Apri since and I hope I don't go through the same again, anyone have any stories about their experiences with Apri?"


"I have been taking this medicine for just over a week now for lower back pain due to a bulging disc and I found no relief."


"First birth control medication I have ever been on, and it has turned out to be the worst experience for me! I got on it for heavy periods, which it has helped, but the side effects are not worth having a light flow for me! I have gained 20 pounds at least from this in two months (how is that even possible?), I have constant headaches and stomach cramps, and frequent diarrhea. Also, I have never had a problem with acne in my life. I got on this, and within a month, my face is breaking out like crazy! Needless to say, I am officially scared of contraceptives and I will just take my week long heavy, painful periods for the rest of my life."


"I woke up early in the morning and felt the tingle of a new cold sore. I went to the doc and got a prescription within the hour and took my first 400 mg pill of acyclovir. I used Abreva right when I felt it and a few times that night. I took 3 pills over the course of the first day. When I woke up the next morning the bump had not gotten bigger but had not gotten smaller either. It was hardly noticeable I should add. I took 3 more pills over the course of the second day and the bump has not grown any bigger. I woke up the 3rd morning and it has shrunk in size. I encourage everyone to get a large stock of acyclovir and take it IMMEDIATELY when the tingle is felt. Even if it is just maybe a cold sore. It is totally worth it."


"I've been using this pill for quite sometime now, I'm 24 years old and this is the only birth control I'm allowed on since I had a stroke back in 2012. And honestly it's terrible I don't stop bleeding on it. I actually use this pill to stop my bleeding. How so exactly? Well I use it to get a period, and when I stop using it my period stops for about a month or two and I have to take the pill to get my period again. It's a pain in the ass and confusing! However, I've never given the pill a fair shot, I've only stayed faithful on it for 2 months and my period wouldn't stop so I just stopped using it and my period went away. Idk what else to use."


"I have been on it for three months and have gained over 10 pounds, while on my regular gym schedule. I also never get pimples and I have had about 6 in the past 3 months."


"Worked really well when I was younger.  Now 30 years later, it isn't as effective,  and it causes stomach upset. Even when taken with food."


"I started taking Qysmia in early Feb 2015.  I am 5' 7" and weighed in at 283.  I spoke to my Dr with factors of PCOS, obesity, diabetes on both sides, pre-diabetic, high cholesterol, and other concerns. I eat fairly healthy, have tried a number of things to lose weight over the years.  I lost 18 lbs six years ago when I felt like I was doing everything right.  Went to the gym, worked out at least 2 hours with cardio, swimming and/weighta over the  course of 6 months. Only lost 18 lbs.  FRUSTRATING!!! So, I got brave enough and talked to my doctor.   With a combination of a reduced calorie diet and cutting back on carbs while boosting the low fat proteins, I have lost over 50 lbs in 3 months with no gym membership.  I do stay active though."


"I began treatment on my scalp and face three weeks ago.  There appears to be no adverse reaction other than some small scaly spots that are painful. Treatment is twice a week.  "


"Xifaxin was the only medicine that was able to get me off steroids and into remission with my Crohn's disease. I had been on steroids for 2 years and had 2 surgeries for blockages. I took a two week course of this and within 3 days I was having normal bowel movements. Pain free after a week. Six months later I had another attack, took Xifaxin again with same results. In remission now for 3 years."


"Today was the first day I took this medication. Two hours after, I experienced joint pain, blurred vision, back pain, a headache, chills, fever, nausea, cough and sore throat.

This was in addition to my already severe urinary tract infection symptoms which I was sent to the ER for the night before, including, severe pain in pelvis, achy back (kidneys).

Although, symptoms of a severe UTI can also be fever, pain in the flank (pain that runs along the back at about waist level), chills, and nausea, I believe the medication gave me the additional symptoms. I was fine all day long until around two hours after taking the pill. After about 3 hours, symptoms increasingly went away. I am not sure if the pills are working or if they wore off."


"I hadn't had a bowel movement in 2 days, which concerned me because I have Crohn's disease. I took ONE dulcolax pill at 5 am and by 12pm I was hit by literally the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. Keep in mind that severe stomach pains are often a symptom of Crohn's. This was like no pain I have ever experienced before, even after years of stomach aches from my illness. I thought that my appendix had burst or something horrible. Horrible experience. They are NOT a gentle relief at all! Definitely try miralax."


"I got prescribed the medicine today because my boyfriend figured out he had it from an ex and I didn't want to wait any longer to treat it. 2 hours in and I threw up and began feeling the pain. Its been 8 hours now of god awful stomach pain. I tried to sleep but maybe got in 2 hours before the pain woke me back up. This is so horrible."


"I have tried almost every antidepressant out there in the last 20 years. Wellbutrin, Effexor, Prozac, Zoloft, and a few I can't remember with little to no effect. Viibryd has been the absolute best and made a huge difference life is much more enjoyable and I have a lot more energy and actually want to get out and do things again. My irritability has gone way down. Another great thing is it doesn't decrease your sex drive at all if anything it has increased because I feel so much better."


"I have a love/hate relationship with this medication. I was diagnosed with ADD in my late thirties.

Vyvanse helps me a lot...when I can feel its effects. I take 50 mg a day. For three hours, I feel wonderful and very productive. The drug make feel very calm, hence very focused. I feel at peace and I stop questioning every single thing I do. It's like my usually racing thoughts (cognitive hyperactivity) stop for a moment and let me focus on the task at hand.

BUT, when the drug wears off, after only three or four hours, I feel HORRIBLE! My throat gets tight, a disabling anxiety kicks in, I feel depressed, my thoughts start racing again and honestly, I feel like I could kill myself. So I go from feeling wonderful to being suicidal..."


"I have been on Xanax for about ten years and now it is has had to come to a screeching hault. At first 1mg three times a day was great Ii could work, go into social settings and even to stores. It gradually got up to 2mgs 3 times a day for about 5 years then came the beginning of the end. I had began using more and more of this wonder drug and I ran out horrible withdrawal symptoms beginning with night sweats, not sleeping confusion and finally seizures not to mention the mental twists and games my mind played on me. Now I am on Klonopin and its taken the edge off today. I don't get the wonder drug feeling and I'm not having seizures we will see. Careful with use of this medicine."


"It caused severe paranoia and ultra sensitivity to all senses."


"Working well for me. Been taking this medicine for about 2 years now, taking 1mg. 3x's daily. No side effects."


"I've been on nexoplanon for 10 months now no side effects I had spotting the first 3-4 months like the doctor told me and I haven't gotten my period since which is awesome cramping here and there and no acne or weight gain. When I received nexoplanon it was quick as can be and no pain due to the anesthesia I felt nothing at all. I love this birth control its super effective has protected me and i even forget its there bruising after insertion lasted about a week very minimal as long as you keep your arm wrapped for 48 hours as told and bruising is normal. After that week I had a tiny scar and no bruising. I recommend this 100%"


"Overall, positive experience with this pill - didn't know what to expect and was terrified of taking it, although i know i needed it because during sex, my guy thrusted in me several times (no pre cum) for those 20 seconds. better to take precaution, so i went to the closest duane reade about 7 hours later and took it. was super nauseous for the first few hours, and then fatigued for about 2-3 days afterwards. my period was irregular last month, i had it twice in the month of May, so i had no idea when my period would begin this month. i expected my period 6/19, it was 5 days late and was SO HAPPY to finally get cramps and a period, because it was anxious to wait. ladies, GET ON BIRTH CONTROL NOW so you won't have to deal with this stress"


"This is my 2nd follow up on this. I started taking the medication Dec 1st of 2011. When I first started this scared (because of what you hear about diet pills). The first week I will say I was in a dream like state until it leveled out. Then everything became easy. Choosing what I ate wanting to do more to lose weight. Dec 1st I weighted 290 and dropped the first 50 in Two Months. Well 1 year 1 month later I am proudly at 170... THATS 120 Pounds. And keeping it off. During this I was on the pill for two terms of 3 months. You can keep it off you just have to keep what your learned on the pill off the pill as well. Hope this Helps. It was a blessing to me. I had been overweight my whole life."


"Mirtazapine is initially sedating, this gradually reduces over about a month.  The sedation rapidly reduces anxiety and improves sleep.  After the first month the sedative effect wears off and you may feel the drug has stopped working, it has not!  The longer term antidepressant/anxiety benefits take several months to reach maximum benefit.   After 3 months most side effects disappear.   My biggest side effect is increased appetite, I compensate by exercising more as I love to eat!  I started on 15mg dose and increased this to 30mg after a month.  Overall 6 months on my anxiety is 80% better than before."


"I am not sure after 10 days (as instructed) that the UTi is completely gone.  But I do not want to take any more of this med as I have had sore shoulders and hips as well as mood swings during treatment.  I have Lupus and I feel that to continue cipro would be dangerous for me"


"After 20 yrs of tension-migraines, 10 years of fibromyalgia and an SI sprain to the left hip, I thought I'd never know normal again. I can fake being well enough to make others comfortable, but I rarely am. Butrans was prescribed 3 months ago and my constant inconsistent days of pain from 3-9 varying on weather, mood, stress, exercise etc. is finally becoming more stable! The lows are gone. The higher peaks are 6-7 now and more rare. I'm on 15mcg/hr every 7 days. Slight itching at patch site but with proper skin prep and rotation I've had no other issues. This med, and low dose percocet ave given me my life back! Constipation has been my only side effect, but it is nothing compared to what I've lived with for so long."


"I have been on 12 mls of methadone for over a year so I give subutex a go, the first day I had 4mg and felt ok, not great but better then I expected. Day 2: 6mg I feel rough as hell, I want to cry all the time and it feels like I'm crawling out of my skin. Day 3: still feel bad does anyone know how long this will last my keyworker keeps saying I should not be worried but I know how I feel bad"


"Have not noticed side effects. Diahrrea is less frequent (1-2x/month) and is over in shorter period of time (2-3 hrs, max 6 hrs). No accidents."


"I have been on Enbrel for Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis for over 8 yrs.  In the beginning my Psoriasis was the worst but after having to be off Enbrel for 7-8 months in order to take immunizations my Psoriatic arthritis had gotten the best of me. I have been back on Enbrel now for 5 weeks of one injection of 50mg. I totally feel everything is going back to where I was. The Psoriasis is almost gone (which is great considering I was 90% covered within two months of stopping) but the arthritis is taking just a little longer. This medicine saved my life years ago. I am almost 48 and have suffered with this since I was 13."


"I've had nexplanon for about two years, and I am finally getting it out! It started off great, no periods? Who wouldn't want that, well... My doctor failed to educate me of all the down falls of this method. I have had a headache every single day non stop ever since starting this method, I thought it was just me, until I researched and discovered nexaplanon could be responsible for that. I have gained 30(+) pounds!!! I eat so much, I have always been a little heavy but not this over weight! I can't exercise because I get so tired easily. I also have had severe abdominal pain, AGAIN, I blame my doctor for not informing me that this could happen. Yes it can prevent pregnancy, but at a cost, I would not recommend to anyone."


"Great for rescue nebulizer."


"I took the pill for about 6 month the first 3 months were the worst for me i was cranky my sex drive went down the drain i was dry down there and i became depressed after i started to feel better just bad cramps.. the pill is effective just the side effects are the worst"


"I call this a miracle. Been on for 16 months and haven't had a single attack. Went from taking five nebulizers treatments a day, to taking ZERO. On top of that it has significantly cut down allergies that was obviously triggered by asthma. I hope you have the success that I have had.  Out of pocket price is the only downfall to Asthmanex."


"I started taking Adipex-P 37.5 mg on July 17, 2010 at 252 lbs. It increased my energy level and suppressed my appetite a great deal. I did experience dry mouth at first but it subsided in a few days.  At a weigh in with my wonderful doctor on August 5, 2010 I lost 11 lbs.  My doctor started me with taking the medication for 2 months and then one month off until January 2012 and I now take the medication for 1 month and I'm off of it for 2 months.  I am hungrier when I'm off the medication but I have learned what portion sizes and types of foods to eat and have done pretty well maintaining.  You have to have determination and willpower for the rest of your life.  By the way, it's now April 7, 2012 and I weigh 148 lbs.  I have lost 104 lbs."


"This medicine has worked when nothing else has. My doctor was concerned that this would harm my stomach over time but I've been taking it for 2 years without issue. I recently tried Lyrica instead and have hurt all over. I just went back to Nabumetone and I feel good again. Since I take 1/2 of the normal dose, I'm hoping I can continue to take this medicine. It is the only thing that works so far."


"My biggest concern was weight gain. I've just finished my first month of Zarah, and have actually lost a pound or two, but I'm pretty sure it's just water weight. The Good Stuff about Zarah: Reduced/No water retention. No increased appetite. My breasts haven't been swollen/tender. PMDD symptoms are much milder. The Neutral/Bleh Stuff about Zarah: still have some moodiness while the hormones adjust. Definitely having bouts of nausea. But I'll take nausea over no weight gain/slight weight loss any day."
