"I'm so happy for you all. It is just pure hell dealing with depression, no sleep, continual thoughts, obsessive compulsive disorder, and not happy at all. Maybe if we all get figured out that this is what we need. Imagine how cheap our health insurance could go to. This is wonderful, I take folic acid and it does make a big difference."


"So far I've been on this birth control for a month now, and I love it. I'm 22, It's my first time taking birth control and I haven't had any side effects. My skin has cleared up completely. I'm really happy, so hopefully it stays that way :) I recommend it."


"this medication is weird. you can be doing really well and be normal and then all of a sudden you get a manic episode or psychotic episode out of nowhere when you were normal like 2 days ago.  It doesn't help you sleep although it's good because it didn't stop me from waking up in the morning. I was able to go to for my morning class as I was waking up at 5:30am. Although  couldn't concentrate in class and I never cooked. from what I remember I was doing better on risperdal although I was more out of it and way more paranoid and it was really scary but I had good friends and never got manic and never had to go to the hospital for almost 10 years and also did well in school. I think invega is too inconsistent and can't take the mood stabilizer I want to"


"My 13 yr old son was put on Vyvanse for his ADHD and started at 20mg, 30mg and for the last two weeks has been on 40mg.  He's had the usual not much of an appetite, and of sleeping patterns.  However I've noticed in the last two weeks a drastic behaviour change in him where he is extremely emotional, very anxious, feeling like everyone hates him, depressed and wanting to hurt himself.  His pediatrician advised me to stop this medication .  "


"Either I'm really a psycho or it just so happens I'm all the sudden super emotional since I started taking this about  8 weeks ago.  Is anyone else experiencing this? I've also been breaking out really bad."


"I was on this for a year or two, I had been on birth control since I was 13 up-to age 22 to regulate my periods. Let's just say this is a NO GO for high triglycerides and also if you're smoking. I ended up in the hospital with Severe Acute Necrotizing Pancreatitus caused from very high triglyceroids which this pill attributed to and also a Pulmonary Embolism ( blood clot)."


"I got my nexplanon inserted a month ago and overall the first month has been fine. My period started the same day it usually starts. Normally, my periods cramps are unbearable so I wanted to get Nexplanon to see if it would help. When I recieved my period this month it was still as heavy and lasted for a day longer but I didn't have any cramps. If you're looking into nexplanon do not let all of the negative reviews scare you just do it and see because no matter what everyone else says...everyone reacts differently . I rated this birth control a nine because I have experienced some crazzzy mood changes, but it was only for the first 2 weeks! Don't give up if you're angry for the first two weeks just go with it , it will get better! :)"


"I started taking them to prevent pregnancy the first few days it was OK but I did get a big pimple but other than that my skin seems to be clearing up but I will say I noticed I'm gaining weight already"


"Over 4 months Ive lost 23 pounds with saxenda. Compared to a 2 month regimen of 15 pounds with phentermine. I feel saxenda is better because there are no noticeable side effects like you get with phentermine. I did not have energy bursts with the sudden crash, increased heart rate or difficulty sleeping like phentermine causes. Also, after 2 or 3 months, in my experience, phentermine stops working. Saxenda is still effective for me. Hope this helps."


"I was diagnosed with adjustment disorder (with anxiety). When big changes happen in my life, I get panic attacks and severe anxiety. I have been on Lexapro twice now, for a few months each time.

Side effects: Initially, this medicine makes my anxiety worse, irritable, very sleepy, increased sweating and hot flashes. Luckily, these side effects have disappeared after about a week of taking the medicine.

I take 10 mg of Lexapro. Side effects appeared the first day I took the medicine. The anxiety started to subside after a week. Anxiety disappeared after 2 weeks on 10 mg. No problems weaning off the medication.

I love this medicine. It gave me my life back."


"(Background: hormonal adult acne, dry skin) I went on Epiduo when my acne started getting relatively moderate when I was around 21. I had read about the initial purge and was willing to stick it out. My face was raw, red, painful to touch, all moisturizers stung whether they were oil or water based, I couldn't wear make-up and my acne was worse. I stuck it out for 4 months and convinced myself each week I was "seeing results," but my acne was still moderate but I had a lot of new scars. Recently I got Neutrogena's Rapid Clear Leave On Mask which is 2.5% BP you can apply up to 3x a day - no redness, barely any flakes, I truly believe I was intolerant to the adapelene or any inactive ingredients. Switch after 4 weeks if you don't see results!"


"I have been on Aviane for many years. It has worked wonders for me. I had to switch to a different brand for insurance purposes and immediately I gained 10 pounds and my breasts were extremely sore and swollen. I NEVER had this with Aviane. I've already called my doctor and I am switching back right away."


"So ladies if your reading this it is because your freaking out and think your pregnant, we'll plan b works! Me and my bf had sex and we usually use condoms but he wanted to be curious before I left for the college and when we had unprotected sex I went homes and later checked my calendar that I ovulate the next day so I went to store and bought a plan b 2 hours later, I ate something to put food on my stomach and then took pill. Well I'm not pregnant and I had my period. Plan b works! Don't stress and be calm Just take it as soon as possible. Hoped this helped ladies."


"I've been on Alesse for about 3 months and my acne is terrible and I feel depressed often. I've had no spotting and very light periods though."


"I gave My daughter  Claritin 5mg  twice a day following doctors orders along with amoxicillin, she is 10 after taking it for 8 days she started to break out with rash , I took her back to dr  she then ordered benedryl for the rash within 5 hrs that rash turned into wells all over her body , it was hot to touch and itchy also she went to ear the next day because of the severity of her condition at that point, ER dr gave her steroid to help with her pain and trying to eliminate the rash , well it's 4 days later and she still has the condition, dr says she has urticaria or Steven Johnson syndrome , so now my daughter and I have to wait day by day and watch her for any new breakouts"


"I'm 52 years old and have had psoriasis since I was 5. I went on Humira a few years ago and stayed on it for 3 years. It cleared me about 98%. I called it a miracle!  I decided to make some nutritional changes in my life for the better and went off Humira 6 months ago to see what difference my better eating habits may have made on their own. Unfortunately my psoriasis came back just as bad if not worse than before the Humira. I think I will be going back on it."


"Works wonderfully on my spinal arthritis. Thank goddness for this medicine."


"I have been in pain for more than 18 years and used to live on Ibuprofen when I wasn't diagnosed. Finally 2 years ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and prescribed Tramadol (Ultram). It was wonderful. I could move so much better than ever before. My pain seemed to be controlled. However, I quickly realised that the medication only lasted for 4 hours every time. Then the pain would creep back stronger than before. "


"Truly life changing for those with narcolepsy/cataplexy."


"I'm currently on Benicar 20 mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 25mg. I started with the fluid pill first and I noticed weight loss but with headaches. I went back for a follow up and my blood pressure was even higher so my doctor put me on Benicar to take with the fluid pill. I noticed weight gain and pains in my sides. The good news is my blood pressure finally came down. The side effects have seemed to subside since I've spaced the time in between the medication."


"I've been taking Belviq for over a year and have lost over 80lbs. I'm no longer taking my antidepressants either because I call it my little happy pill!  However they keep raising the price and I can no longer afford it.  I'm sick of drug companies and they games they play with people's lives!"


"I have not slept in 2 nights. It's 4 am and I'm wide awake.  I'm so glad I found this website because I thought there might me something wrong with me.  Would have never thought Mucinex was the culprit! Although it has definitely cleared up all my congestion. "


"This is the best medicine for cold sores that I have ever tried.  If you suffer from them, please, please, please get some.  This had made such a difference in my life."


"I don't know how anyone can gain weight on this drug. But I guess everyone is different. I have to force myself to eat and then I usually throw it up. However, when I'm not sick to my stomach I feel ok. I wake up pretty happy. Slight mood swings. But it definitely took me out of the deep depression I couldn't get out of. I have found I'm interested in things I had lost interest in due to the depression. I'm not sure if I'll stay on it. It's just ok"


"I started taking depression medicine when I was 11 years old. I am now 24 and I have been on probably 10 different antidepressants over the years. Nothing has had such a positive effect on me as Cymbalta has. I am truly happy for the first time in a long time. I've been taking Cymbalta for about 8 months now and I feel great. I have also been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, which is one reason why my doctor thought Cymbalta would be best. Cymbalta has also helped some with my aches and pains. I have very little side effects with this medicine. I get nauseous once in a while and am tired a lot, but it's nothing compared to being without Cymbalta. This is by far the best medicine for depression and fibromyalgia."


"Switched from nurse-infused IVIG to Hizentra,with zero side effects on the former. Now, 2 months later, sinusitis and nasal misery move in at 5th day, maybe my dose is too low.  These old symptoms disappear a day or so after weekly self-infusion. Otherwise, all is well."


"Limited benefit for me. I have been on doxy for 6 months now to help with my severe eye rash. I only feel better for 5 hours and then I have to take another pill. Absolutely no long term benefit or even complete benefit throughout day. I shouldn't be using doxycycline for this long, so I'm switching to Chinese medicine. All I can say is that it's useful for a quick fix, but really bad for long term."


"I has helped me overcome mild depression without the side effects that I experienced with other anti-depressants. It has given me more energy, elevated my mood and an increase in sex drive. The only problem I have is a high pitched ringing in my ears that I can live with."


"I am a 46 yo male.  Memory and tiredness, slight depression.  Diagnosed with low testosterone (222 on a scale of 200-800).  Have used both Testim and Androgel.  Like the way Androgel comes in a pump bottle and is not as sticky as Testim, but my wife and other women have commented that they like the smell of testim.  I now use testim, applying one tube every other day because my wife says I'm more like myself at that dosage.  Had an initial drop of testosterone to 201 when first started treatmant, but testosterone now at 547 at last lab.  I feel much better."


"I kept nexplanon for all 4 years and got a new one about a month ago. 8th grade, when I first got it. I was 5'0 117 pounds, 11th grade I am now 5'1 155 pounds. Looking back at the side effects, I get all of them, not even thinking its the birth control. Now I wonder how I would act and how I would look without nexplanon. My mom recently just made me an appt to get it took out next month. If anyone would like a update after taking it out I will let you know."


"Had diarrhea for a few days but I was expecting it. I'm now up to 20 mg. I think I like it so far. It's hard to tell. Has anybody experienced restless legs with this? My legs drive me crazy at night and they itch!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I can't even begin with how absolutely disgusting and vile this was. I could not stop shivering like I was cold and gagging and I had goose bumps everywhere. I am finding it almost impossible to finish the second dose. I honestly wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy and I will never have another colonoscopy after this experience. While all that sucks sadly the medicine actually does work very well and gets the job done. I would recommend being extremely close to the toilet afterwards."


"I did not get any blood pressure lowering effect from Micardis.  I took it for four weeks at 80mg per day.  I had no side effects, but put simply, the drug just did not work.  I went back to Toprol 50mg one daily.  Still searching for something better."


"This has helped me."


"I was given stadol during induced labor, it was miraculous, however after 20 hrs, I was still not dilating. I was given an epidural and began hr long labor, stadol in conjunction with epidural, I finally was able to have child w/o surgical intervention.  Was also given stadol post hysterectomy, via IM injections.  Only drug that helped pain for both."


"I have been having a little tummy trouble the past few days and hadn't had a BM and it was starting to become unbarably uncomfortable. I took these last night about 10pm and woke up this morning around 3-4 in excruciating pain. I was sick a dog I did finally have a BM after sitting for about 20 min almost in tears from the cramps once a went the cramps subsided but only temporarily. I have been getting on and off cramps that feel like I am being repeadidly stabbed in my lower abdomen and to the point I feel like I may vomit. Will not use this product again"


"Works like a champ for uric acid stones. Haven't had any in 3 years."


"This is day 2 taking this med. It makes me very queasy and very tired. The nausea and tiredness start about 30 minutes after I take one, and seem to last for 6 or 7 hours. I try to take it with food, but I don't have much appetite  (not gonna be mad about that tho). The uti seems pretty much gone, but I'm also taking Azo."


"I am 17 with no children. I started birth control pills at 13 for heavy periods & PMS and decided to switch to a LARC since I wont want kids any time soon. My insurance covered 100% of the cost. I had it inserted on day 4 of my period. Ladies DO NOT be scared about the insertion! The pain lasted for under a minute and the rest of the day just felt like normal period cramps. I drove myself home and took 800mg of ibuprofen. Since the insertion, I have had random cramps occasionally and random bits of brown blood spotting around the time for my period but it is nothing major! I haven't had any breakouts or weight gain and I would recommend this to anyone :-)"


"I started taking Pristiq since I was having anxiety, slight depression and mild panic attacks in my job (I'm in sales). I was taking Lexapro on and off for a couple of years, but felt it wasn't working anymore, so my doctor recommended Pristiq. I am 3 days in and feel great! I've experienced slight nausea (but food helps), decreased appetite, dry mouth and slight jaw clenching. Also my first two days, a couple of hours after I took it (which has been in the morning), I would feel extremely tired. But I would snap out of it and feel great. Overall, I feel happy, calm and focused. I hope to only be on Pristiq for short term, but while I am going through this difficult time in life it will be my miracle. "


"Been on 50g for 5 days and I am going to stop. I have had every side effect and the my anxiety yesterday hit the roof. Sleeping has been difficult. I know people stay stick with it but the side effects scare me to stay the course."


"Synthroid is only one of the four hormones produced by the thyroid. So it produces about the expected mediocre result. For me it was worse than mediocre, it was horrible, leaving me essentially bed-ridden for almost 3 years. This company has a bad record, and
pressure is put on Docs to use this stuff exclusively. Why aren't we offered other options at the start??"


"I got Skyla 2 years ago (around $2000 total for 3 years) , and want to get another one the next summer (3 years limit). The insertion of course is never fun, no surgery of any form will be - but I was well enough to enjoy movies that night with friends. My periods have gotten lighter and it's effective in preventing pregnancy. The only grief I have received from the little IUD was monthly cramps that I associate with 'my body trying to get rid of it' and sometimes it's so painful I have to curl on the floor, stay still, and sometimes whimper and cry. However, I'm a big girl and it's perhaps twice as painful as my normal menstrual cramping and I'd rather have that once a month than a child I'm not ready for."


"I found the reviews helpful,  In March I had a shot of Cortisone in my right knee.  It was effective for 5 months.  When my pain returned the doctor recommended Ortho Visc.  I had 3 treatments, each a week apart,  I had relief after a few days, but it didn't last.  I had the final injection on August 30th.  It really hurt, and I was light-headed afterwards, and could hardly walk.  The PA that gave me the last treatment had me rest until I felt OK to walk and drive.  He told me to mark 3 weeks on the calendar, at which time I  would feel no pain.  (Did that mean I would be dead?!)  After 8 days I am almost pain free!  Now to see how long it lasts."


"I started my Byetta experience in August of 2012 wearing a size 18/20 and standing at 5'2. Before April of 2013 I was wearing a size 14. I was feeling good, looking good, and energized! I had nausea but it didn't last it took two weeks to go away.  I experienced the thinning of my hair and hair loss with a different texture so I stopped Byetta because that was a No No for me to lose my hair. When I stopped the Byetta I gained more weight than I lost but my hair grew back and the texture was never the same again but I tell you this; I choose Byetta over hair loss,  I just wear a short pretty hairstyle. On Byetta, my A1C has gone from 8.4 to 6.9!"


"Ten years ago I developed terrible insomnia.  I am a lawyer, and getting 2-3 hours of restless sleep a night nearly ruined me.  I was first on Ambien, which never gave me real rest. Eight years late, I am still taking 3 mg of Lunesta every night.  I sleep 7-8 hours every night.  I have never developed a tolerance to it, never had sleepwalking or other issues.  In fact, on Lunesta, I dream!  My sleep cycle is pretty much normal. This has given me ten years of steady sleep, with no real side-effects.  When I go off it for a night or two, I have no major rebound issues. Lunesta has literally given me my life back, and the confidence I will sleep every night."


"The first day of taking (50 mg) I feel better then I have in YEARS! I have suffered with depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, and BPD (a mess I know). I have been on every antidepressant and antianxiety med over the past 10 years and I have to say it has done wonders! Looking forward to many more good days."


"I started this medication and within 2 weeks my life changed, just feel so good, feel like 13 again, no hot flashes, my appetite returned back, my hair texture feels good, it's all good, heaven sent, amazing, highly recommend, just worried about long term use."


"I have been using Phenergan to treat nausea for years. I have frequent and severe nausea associated with abdominal pain. It has been over three years and I am yet to get a diagnosis. I am grateful for this medicine. It is the only thing that stops the nausea. I would be crazy without this medicine! I was given Phenergan in the ER after I had a bad reaction to Zofran. It worked so well I asked the Doctor to send me home with a prescription for it.  At my last ER visit they told me they were out of Phenergan and that it was in short supply. I was given Bentyl instead. That also gave me a bad reaction. I do without nausea medicine in the hospital if they do not have Phenergan."


"I've been on Remeron for nearly two weeks now and I can feel my mood elevating and depression decreasing already. Also, I'm now getting full nights of sleep, which is also an amazing feeling. The only downsides I've seen so far are some grogginess in the morning (though that has been less and less noticeable) and ravenous hunger (this has not gotten less). Luckily, because now I'm starting to actually want to leave the house and do stuff, I've been able to work out pretty consistently this past week and hopefully that will counteract the effects of me eating the weight of a horse every day. I've tried more antidepressants than I can count on one hand, and this is the first time in a long time I've started to feel better."


"Have been taking this now for 2 years for anxiety and depression. I had minimal side effects when starting the medicine (needed minimal time to adjust as compared to other SSRIs) but can note I now perspire a lot more and my cholesterol and blood pressure have increased. This medicine has worked relatively well for me and has made me better balanced. I still get some anxiety and depression but it's not as debilitating. It will be disappointing if my cholesterol and blood pressure remain high as I will have to seek alternatives. I have had some weight loss on this medicine and am not hungry all the time like I was on Avanza and Luvox. Fingers crossed some weight loss will fix the high blood pressure."


"Love this one! The previous BC I was on gave me a terrible experience. Extremely moody, made me gain weight and just did more bad than good overall. Started this one and I LOVE IT! My skin hasn't looked this great in idk how long. Haven't noticed any sorts of mood effects and no weight gain. My insurance also completely covers it!"


"I'm 19 and had taken Concerta successfully since I was 14, but being in college I needed a medication that would last for longer than Concerta did. My symptoms have never been very bad, but definitely affected my work. My psychiatrist suggested Vyvanse, but it was hell. It worked about the same as Concerta, but it would wear off after about 6 hours, and I would collapse on the floor sobbing. Every night I would become extremely suicidal and angry, and after just a two weeks my relationships with everyone was at a breaking point. I went back to Concerta, and now take a small dose of Ritalin when it wears off. So much better."


"I was prescribed Harvoni in February, 2013....used it for 12 weeks and after finishing my prescription, my blood was tested for Hep C and was found to be negative. 3 months later I had another blood test which was also negative for Hep C."


"I absolutely live Sprintec. No cramps. Light periods. No major side effects. Cheap and works for me!"


"I waited 3 weeks to write a review cause I was sceptical. After trying so many antidepressant and having the the reversed effect this is the one. I suffer from sever anxiety and PTSD. I take 5mg at night cause it does hit you like a rock. I tried the recommended dose 10mg after a week and it was too much. The taste is annoying but I will deal with that. I am able to concentrate and get things done. I exercise 5xs a week so I have not gained weight. My eating habits are fair so it's diffinatly the exercise. I been trying to find the right drug for 4 years and nothing helped. I do also take klonopin but since I have started saphris it's been reduced it to half of what I used to take. This med has helped me with my anticipatory anxiety"


"I really recommend this product! I've had acne on my chin for about 6 years now, with my skin still being dry & sensitive, I use a really gentle cleanser then 20 minutes later I use the Duac, very sparingly! Then aqueous moisturizer 20 minutes after that. It works for me & I've seen a drastic improvement in just 2 weeks, stick in there! It made my acne worse at first, I think this is the purging process, hope this helps!"


"I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar disorder and through the years extreme anxiety came along with it. I did not care for all the other bipolar medications. Mixing Prozac and Klonopin to treat the bipolar helps dramatically. I didn't even realize Klonopin is used for bipolar until I was on this site, and now I know that this is the right medication for my symptoms."


"When first taking this medicine, I was a bit nervous after having read so many negative reviews.  Needless to say, this birth control has actually worked beautifully for me so far and I am going into month three of taking it. I did experience severe nausea twice, once in the first month and again in the second---But other than that, no significant changes in my skin, weight, menstrual cycle, etc.  My breasts increased in size only slightly.  I will say, however, that the most surprising side effect was an increased sex drive, as I had assumed that my libido would take a dive after starting birth control in general.

"


"Please make sure you take probiotics or eat yogurt while you're on this.  My abscessed tooth has healed but now suffering from the most horrible chest/heartburn pain I've ever had in my life.  Before I read this post, I was truly thinking I might be having a heart attack.  The pain would go away if I ate something though and I wasn't having pain in my arm or neck.  That's when I Googled and found this site.  I am much relieved that others have had this side effect and It's not just me. (48 yr old female 130 lbs).Was on 300mg x 3 times a day for 10 days."


"I was on the shot for a little over 3 years I gained a total of 5 pounds being on the shot.  I got off the shot because it was ruining my teeth!  It had been awhile since I went to the dentist but when I went I was told I had 17 cavities. I was shocked! I bush my teeth everyday, I may not floss like I should, but 17? That's not the worst part thought after they fixed all my teeth I go back a month later for a cleaning to find out I had gotten 7 more cavities.  How does this happen within a months time?  I finally realized it was the Depo-Provera after actually reading the paper the doctor gives you every time you get the shot."


"I am 20 years old and I've never had children. I got Skyla about a month ago because I have gallbladder problems and my body doesn't like the extra estrogen. No one had warned me about the insertion. It wasn't the worst pain I've ever experienced but it was a lip biter. It also took her awhile to do it. BUT I wasn't on my period when I had it inserted because her schedule was booked . I would highly recommend taking some pain reliever before going in just in case. Everyone is totally different.  The first week I was a little tender. You should pamper yourself for the day you get it done and the day after. I've had light pink spotting and some pain here and there but it's suppose to be normal."


"I am a practicing M.D. in my mid 30's and have had low T levels for 2 years (T =257). I tried Androgel for 1 year and ended up with no response. T level was minimally increased. My Endocrinologist recently switched me over to testosterone cypionate, 150mg every week. Excellent results. New energy, libido, attitude is positive again. If you find that the gels or creams do not work, you likely have an absorption issue with the medication. The intramuscular route is by far the best for me and others should try this route per MD monitoring."


"I give it a 10 and I would give SSRI's and SNRI's only a 5. It's our first experience with MAOI's and its still early days. But what a difference with fatique (none). Other side effects in our case are minimal or non existent. I wonder what % of people actually notice severe side effects (maybe less then 20%?). It appears that MAOI's are well known these days. I presume it's because they are old generic drugs (not covered by active patents) and hence will not get high advertising budgets from the pharmaceutical companies. I also presume that many GP's have no knowledge of this class of drugs or these are too risky, adverse (side effects) to recommend a trial. It took us at least 7 years of battling depression and fatigue before we found out!"


"I'm reading these reviews, and as a first time user of Monistat's product I feel obligated to chime in. This is my second YI and first time going the over the counter route, due to zero time to see a doctor. Maybe I caught mine early enough, but I have nothing negative to say. They say if it's serious, to only use medicine that is prescribed by your doc... Perhaps for some it simply isn't the right medication for their problem? The only complaint I have is that it was a bit messy, fortunately I inserted it before bed, and simply felt a little... dripping (gross)... Throughout the night. It was a little tiny bit more itchy than the infection itself. It's morning now and I don't feel any pain, burning or swelling. I would use again!"


"Suffering from post double laminectomy pain since 2008, I've been prescribed nearly every narcotic possible. 6 x Darvocet per day was doing the trick until it got yanked off the market. So, my pain management doctor moved me over to Opana ER 40mg every 12 hours and Opana IR 10mg for breakthrough pain. This medication has worked perfectly and consistently for a couple of years now. "


"I have over 20 migraines a month, which can be very costly with Imitrex.  If I catch my headache early enough Excedrin for Migraines will eliminate my migraine for 8-12 hours.  It is tough on my stomach though, after years of fighting migraines with aspirin (before Imitrex came along.)  Thank you Excedrin!"


"This medication will absolutely be different with each individual...no doubt.  I hope more folks understand that with any/all medications have side affects; however, the benefits normally will outweigh the risks.  Diagnosed with a sinus infection after an MRI on my neck. Let me make a long story short because my symptoms are too broad to go into details...750 daily po for 2 weeks. I'm extremely dizzy, I'm confused, I'm restless, I'm plain beat down.
I've yet to see anyone on the highest dosage for sinusitis-except myself. Come on now_two weeks?..and I'm still coughing after one week. Mind you all, I take this med same time every day with pretty much all the symptoms most have experienced (but even more). Question: anyone w similar experience"


"So, like many here, I decided if plan b worked for me, I would share my experience to ease any worried minds.

Had a bit of a slip up and had unprotected sex the day after my period finished.  The sex occurred on a Friday and I took plan B two days after (Sunday).  I didn't feel any symptoms until a few days after taking the pill.  Honestly, I think the anxiety of potentially being pregnant really made any of my symptoms feel about 100 times worse.  I felt nauseous and had sore breasts for a few days after the pill.

I got my period two days later than expected. Just try and stay calm and let the pill do its work!"


"Don't use it!!!! I AM ON FIRE AND IN TEARS IT BURNS SO BAD AFTER 20 MINUTES OF INSERTING!!"


"Been on trulicity for 6 months. No diarrhea, but super constipation. Major Fatigue. I take 1000mg metformin (down from 2,000) daily, plus the weekly 1.5mg trulicity shot. A1C at 5.9, which is great. I lost about 8 lbs. Frankly, I'm stopping it- bloating, cramping, and the constant fatigue is just not worth it. Time to get more active and eat right. It may be the hard way, but definitely the right way!."


"I would NOT recommend this laxative. However, it is very effective at relieving constipation, the side effects are not worth it. I took 3 pills per the recommendations on the box and was severely constipated. Within 7 hours I could feel it working, my intestines were bubbling and cramping, then I was able to have a bowel movement. Most laxatives soften your stool, this one liquifies it! It's horrible! But I have to say the worst part is that it makes you feel so nauseous! So not only was I having explosive diarrhea I was also having to vomit. This lasted for about 7 hours!! If you take this, be prepared to be sick all day long! Choose another one like magnesium citrate that's much gentler, yet effective! Throwing away immediately!"


"I have taken Belviq for two weeks only lost 2 pounds. belviq has no effect on me I cut grass to help make extra money on the side. That's the only time I see any weight lost. I was doing that before belviq this medicine has slow me down makes me tired. I execise less with belviq. I cant believe they want 200 hundred dollars for these pill not worth it. all diets if you exercise and eat right work with out the pills. Belviq don't even curb my appetite. Very disappointing. the chest and body pain are scary."


"Prozac worked wonders for my anxiety and mild depression. I always struggled with PMS-related anxiety, but after some big life changes, morning anxiety was more and more frequent and my motivation and drive to accomplish anything was low. I didn't want to get out of bed, even though nothing was wrong with my life. I just had an overarching feeling of hopelessness. Went to the doctor and she prescribed 20mg. Had bad nausea the first two weeks, then it went away, but I was still struggling with anxiety some mornings. She bumped me up to 40mg, and although it's only been a few days, I can totally tell a difference. I'm more motivated, happy and content. No anxiety. No nausea. Grateful for this med. I feel good for the first time in awhile."


"I have been on Alesse 21 for three years. When I started taking it I realized I snapped way easier then usual. But my period is now super predictable and much more mild. I went off it briefly and lost about ten pounds and had a ton more energy, so I believe it causes me to be a little lazy.  Even with that I find it fairly reliable."


"I am a 52 yr old female weighing 160 pounds.  I started the low dose 14 day trial about 2 months ago.  I lost 2 lbs. immediately.  Side effects were, loss of appetite & constipation.  When I started the higher, 7.5 dose, my digestive system instantly shut down.  I took a stool softener & laxative daily & I still could not go to the restroom.  I drink 70-85 oz. of water & take "It Works" "greens supplement" daily to get a decent intake of fruits & vegetables.  Long story short, I can only take 1 pill once every 5 to 6 days; otherwise I am miserable and extremely stopped up.  Since getting the prescription filled on May 14, 2016, I have only taken 7 pills.  I have an appt to see my doc in a few days.  Have lost 3 pounds."


"It changed my life. I was a heavy Norco user 10mg I was going thru a 100 tabs every 3-4 days. The strange thing is my Dr and pharmacy never did red flag me. I never did anything illegal to get them.  That wouldn't fly these days."


"I started Contrave July 10 and and I've lost  13 pounds already with little to no exercise. I'm at my second week of taking 2 pills in the morning and 2 pills at night. I have very bad side effects now, any time food touches my stomach I get nauseated or vomit. I'm constantly tired and I experience a little constipation. Ill be contacting the doctor to see if they will still be effective if I lower the dosage. I don't plan on stopping."


"I started with this pill to get off the shot but it is no better...I can't sleep at night I have the worst headaches my cycle is never predictable..I can see blood one day and nothing the next I can have sex one day and still bleed & that's so embarrassing & disgusting I hate this pill it was the worst choice ever"


"I lost 10 pounds prior to starting Contrave. I only needed to lose between 15-20. However, after starting the medication, I gained back 5 pounds. It actually made my appetite worse. Now that I am off it, my appetite feels back to normal. Also, it made me incredibly sleepy and tired at my most productive time of day. Also, like most everyone else here nauseous as well."


"Stopped my cough and I was able to sleep.   But I was awakened a couple of times during the night with a severe diarrhea accident. I don't think I'll take again for that reason.  The diarrhea past in about 12 hours."


"Did help lower blood sugar, but caused constipation. I never built up to taking the full dose."


"Stay away from this medicine!!! It's horrible!!! It caused me to develop depersonalization/depression. It also made me feel anxious and confused. I really haven't been the same since I took it."


"This was for an animal bit that might cause infection. Its a horrible medicine, late period due to the medicine. Horrible diarrhea and vomited one morning. I have been very moody and tired. I will never take this again if I can help it! I quit taking it after 4 days I couldn't handle it any more. And for some reason I feel like I have something in my throat. Oh and my anxiety is out of control!!!"


"I have been on this medication for a month and I have lost 6lbs. You may think that is not much, but it is better than gaining 2 or 3 lbs here or there. I had actually only taken 1 pill a day instead of the 2 pills a day the first month. Now that I am on my second month, I am taking the two a day and waiting on the results for next month."


"As a first time user of birth control I did a lot of research after being prescribed Loestrin 24 Fe. I honestly got very scared after reading so many negative reviews that I almost didnt take it. But I did and I am very pleased with my experience.

I am 27 and one of the main factors for me choosing birth control was that I began working out a lot and started having a period 2 times a month which I hated. I take my pill at 10 PM each night and have never had any nausea, weight gain, pimples or negative side effects. I am an emotional person so honestly I cant give feedback on if it has affected my emotions. Regardless I have not experienced any extreme changes in myself. I'm on pack 2 and I love having a shorter period. I recommend this birth control."


"After trying several SSRI's and suffering horrible side effects, I was scared to try another. After doing a bit of research, I came across liquid Prozac and asked my Dr. about it. I have been on it for a week at 3mg and already feel better. I am slowly moving up to 5mg, but as of now, 3mg is working out just fine.  My anxiety has lessened and I can focus and concentrate without my mind running wild."


"I am almost 50. I've been using Androgel for 8 months. Before I started using I was tired all the time, had no energy, and had very little sex drive. I have had no side effects, and I feel like I'm 25 again!"


"Horrible horrible mental side effects, dizziness and nausea, abdominal pain, HORRIBLE migraines to the point of going to ER for pain control. Lets go back to the mental side effects: made me a completely different person. I was mean to everybody. My family actually told me to leave the house to give them a break from my irritability. Deep depression, and I'm on meds for that already; so not a good med for me. I stuck it out for 2 months and decided to stop it when my husband actually hid the pills from me."


"I have been taking Actos for 5 years. Recently the cardiologist diagnosed me with heart failure. My EF is 30%. 2 weeks ago I stopped taking Actos and my fasting blood test is 125 the same reading as when I was taking Actos."


"I'm on my second month of taking Loestrin, the first month was just fine, although I've had migraine headaches since taking this pill. Now on my second month I've had spotting, light breakthrough bleeding, and cramps on and off. My doctor told me to stick with it for another month. My periods are much lighter and fewer days which is why I started taking this birth control pill to keep from becoming anemic again."


"My weight gain started in 1/2017 when I stopped moving due to pain from degenerative disc disease. I had neck surgery in 6/2017 & was shocked I weighed 189lbs, I am 5’2” and 63 yrs old. I wasn’t able to exercise until 9/2017 due to my recovery & started w/o meds on the Atkins diet. I had mild success & asked my Med prof for advice. We discussed Saxenda. I was willing to try it until my pharmacy told me my insurance (Horizon BCBS) does NOT cover weigh loss meds. It was $1100+ to fill the Rx!! So NO GO! My Med prof was able to help me w/an 18 day sample. I’ve been on it for 4 days, too new to rate. Reduced hunger @ low dose 0.6ml, but bad headaches. Do I want to take this to lose weight SO MUCH, if this is a side effect? 167.5 now 132 goal."


"I have recently been prescribed Tretinoin 0.25%. I have been applying it for about a month now. At first my skin was terribly dry and painful. With the use of moisturizer it's not noticeable. I apply the medication at night before I go to bed. My acne has not gone away yet but my skin is much smoother and any new zits that do pop-up are gone immediately. From the experiences of other people, sounds like this medication just needs time and a patient with patience!"


"I have tried everything to quit. Now after 35 years of smoking I'm done thanx to chantix. I am on m 10 day on the med and 7th day smoke free. Very little withdrawals. nothing like patches or gum its a miracle drug . Some trouble sleeping but two advil pms and I'm out . anyway I thought I would share that with you all."


"I have been on fluoxetine for 3 years and 4 months ago I decided to stop taking them after I thought I was ready to get on without them. I had often forgot to take them so I thought oh well I've weaned myself off them.  Big mistake!    I have gone through so much mind blowing experiences in last 3 months.  Now been back on them for 6 days on 20 mg and I will be happy when I stop feeling how I do at the moment.  Never thought I'd be thinking I'd gone crazy and feel like the whole of lincolnshire have got this one big conspiracy theory going on against me.lol I know !   Crazy but that's how my head is thinking at moment.  Thank you for reading this and i do hope it makes sense to you if you going through this same thing it will get better."


"Yeah, it works.

Some people are more sensitive than others. Generally, you take a pill (depends on dosage) and you just start feeling your tight chest and stomach release, and I notice I begin breathing more calmly and normally. Just feels good all over, which is such a contrast from the horrors of anxiety.

It can make you a little sleepy. I think for 'normal people' it would make them very sleepy. For 'anxious' people, I think it makes you normal and relaxed.

The one problem is that if you take it too much, like three days in a row, the effect is reduced and you have to 'up' the dosage. I think it works best for occasional use, like before a difficult situation or when you're just having a lot of anxiety and need calm."


"First, I am a 17 year old female who had been having some random constipation trouble.
When I first bought Dulcolax, I went to the internet for reviews so I could find some info on how it might affect me. Let me just say, YOU PEOPLE SCARED ME TO DEATH! After reading countless reviews, I was so anxious and was considering not taking the medication and prolonging my suffering. I took 1 pill at 11 a.m. I had drank a bottle of water before and drank another one immediately after. During the rest of the day I drank about 6 bottles of water and 1 bottle of Gatorade. I was able to pass very soft BM about 4:40, then again at 4:50, then again about 6:50 but it was not terrible. I felt slight pressure and hardly cramping before I would have to go to the bathroom.  I did not have any horrible cramping, sweating, or any other crazy side effects that so many people described."


"I have been on Requip for about 8 years now. My RLS is severe and I believe started as a child but became worse after childbearing. I take Requip 2-4mg at night. Guess what? I am out of town and forgot the Requip. It is 3am and I have not slept a wink. My sister has milder RLS, my grandfather had signs of it and then developed Parkinsons. I have seen signs in my daughter who is a teen and now have spoken to a cousin who also suffers. Thankfully my only side effect is sleepyness, because I do not know what I would do without my Requip."


"Like many of you, I have tried several SNRI's and SSRI's..None work after a certain time period, and nearly all cause weight gain. I am thrilled that I might have actually found a solution to my chronic depression especially given this med is meant more for Bi-polar which is not my diagnosis. I have energy for the first time in years, no weight gain, no increase in appetite! Sleeping great and waking up with energy. I'm almost afraid to write this because I may jinx it but I feel great.. I am only on 200 mg. split up twice a day and I don't need to increase at this point so I'm sticking with this low dose. very happy so far. I hope this review helps other who have struggled with finding a solutions to chronic depression.."


"I started Belsomra 15mg about 3 wks ago. It has not worked for me at all. After taking the medication earlier (7:45-8:00 pm) and spending several sleepless nights my Dr increased
my dosage to 1 & 1/2 tablets. The last few nights I have been up past 4am. Even when I finally dose off I wake up at least once an hour. I will call my Dr in the morning, I'll be awake. Exhausted!  But awake!"


"I've been taking Paxil for 3 years. It has been the only medicine that has given long term relief from anxiety and stress, and occasional depression. I've had no drastic side effects to speak of. I take 60mg/day."


"Had no luck with Clomid been on it now for over a year and no success we have no problems and even did an Intrauterine insemination (IUI) and no success  told doctor this Isn't working been on a 100 mg but they don't care its just bern very unsuccessful"


"It helps me from having severe anxiety attacks, I do go through normal emotions, so I only take them when I get too overwhelmed and I am going to have an anxiety attack. They are very helpful."


"So happy I've started montelukast. Prior to starting my asthma was really controlling my life. I always had a wheeze and productive cough, requiring my salbutamol inhaler at least twice a day. At present my symptoms have all but stopped, greatly improving my quality of life and tiredness/exercise tolerance."


"HORRIBLE!!  Dr. put me on 37.5mg for my Anxiety and Depression took one around 6pm and woke up at 2:30am feeling like I was on crack.  Got to work at 7am and my Boss asked me what was wrong with me.  My pupils were as dilated as they could be and my eyes were bugging out I continued to feel spun out most of the day.  Started feeling better around 8pm and was able to sleep thru the night but woke up with a Migraine and could not focus.  WILL NEVER TOUCH THIS STUFF AGAIN!!!"


"Unlike all the other comments I have read, I work at night and drive a Truck for a living. I go to work at Midnight and drive all night and into the next day. I heard about Nuvigil and went to my Doctor and he prescribed it to me. Of course the insurance company wanted an explanation to pay for it. I haven't had much success with it, I guess because I only take it when I have a long night ahead of me. It has worked well for me about 1 out of 5 times. I will be talking to my Doctor and see if I need to take it everyday. But, with my schedule, shift work that varys and reversing my schedule when I am not working at night on my days off, is really different than most of what I have read on here. Maybe I need to find me a day job!"


"My story, is a five year long battle with two failed back fusions, starting back in 2009. With my first surgery, as anyone knows that has had a L5 s1 fusion with a bone graft taken from your hip, it is painful! So as you can imagine, you are taking pain meds! So here I am 5 years later 2014, and 2 fusion that didn't take, and hoping my third has! 4 months ago, my daily meds intake was 15 10mg oxycodone, 4 30mg Oxycontin, 4 x 5mg oxymorphone! My tolerance was very high! Finally decide, enough was enough, so I went to a detox facility in Seattle, and was put on Suboxone. What a difference, I felt so much better! Four months later, I tapered of the Suboxone, started on Clonidine. Made me tired, dead legs, but kept withdrawals away! I'M A NEW MAN!"


"I have been doing colonoscopy prep for 20 years. This was the foulest tasting stuff I've ever encountered."


"Just like everyone else I have a yeast infection. I've had them a few times unfortunately... I've always bought the cheap 3 day cream, never the more expensive miconazole 7... I've never had an issue before... The other creams ALWAYS brought relief... This crap sucks!!! Makes the annoying YI much more painful! The burning is driving me crazy... About to wash it out and buy a generic brand."


"I absolutely loved this medication.  Within a few short weeks, for the first time ever I was able to complete tasks I never thought I'd finish.  In one day I excitedly completed 6 projects that had been sitting around unfinished for months.  Sadly for me, I got a horrible rash and realized I was allergic to it.  I've tried a few other medications, but for me, nothing's ever come close to being as effective."


"This is the only medicine that gave me relief from migraines.  I've taken Imitrex, Toradol and Tylenol, nothing works for me accept Fioricet! It prevented me from going to ER visits for my migraines."


"Developed over several weeks two side effects

1. A dry irritating cough which worsened with drinking water so went through several lozenges/candies to relieve. The cough disappeared within two days of terminating Mavik.
2. Also developed congested airway/lungs and this required several weeks to clear up after termination of Mavik, took a good Vitamin C source to assist recovery.
"


"After only being on this medication for a short time for a L5 S1 back problem, it hasn't helped at all. I get more relief from 800mg of ibuprofen. Have to wait 12 days to see a surgeon and God only knows how long before a surgery.  In constant pain and none of the medicines I have been given work. Guess I'm just one of those that can't be helped."


"At first, I loved the pill. It made my periods shorter, about 3 days instead of 8, and it kept me from getting pregnant. It's affordable and got rid of my acne. It did not help with cramps at all, and it made me gain a lot of weight. I went from 118 lbs to 135 in a short amount of time. My breasts got big as well which was a plus. Then after almost a year, I began getting chronic urinary tract infections. Doctors could not figure it out so I stopped taking Apri to see if that was the problem and since then I have had no problems. "


"I have been taking anywhere from 50 to 150mg of Tramadol per day as a part of my pain management regimen. This regimen includes 3600mg Gabapentin and 15mg Meloxicam per day. I've been on this regimen for 4 years for a back injury and fibromyalgia. My pharmacy switched the manufacturer of my Tramadol and I immediately noticed that the new pill doesn't WORK! I don't mean just in terms of pain relief, there's not even any side effects such as: the warm fuzzy feeling, dizziness, slurred speech, cottonmouth. The 50 mg white oblong pill marked 377 is complete rubbish, because I have to take 4 of them at a time (200mg) to feel the same amount of relief I would get from the previous manufacturer pill (50mg white oval 93/58) which worked GREAT."


"Started Victoza one week ago, very slight nausea for a couple of days, otherwise no problems yet.  Appetite is down only slightly also.  Some weight loss - I only need to lose 20 lbs but the blood sugar is still in the low 200's.  Perhaps when I increase the dose to 1.2 I will see that difference happen.  I do however, have frequent, very strange nightmares at night - weird stuff and also some extremity tingling - like they are asleep in the night.  No daytime issues.  But those nightmares need to go."


"I may give this a high rating, but believe me it wasn't pleasant. Constipated and only passed extremely hard small stool for 5 days (been going through stomach issues for 2 months). Took 2 pills at 8pm, and at midnight the waterfall started. And to think I was going to roll over and try and go back to sleep at first."


"I remember this product when I was a kid. My mom used to keep a bottle of it in the house all of the time, that was decades ago. I have used the pill form for the first time and it still works quite well. I find the pill form a little more tolerable then drinking the liquid form. But, what I like about it most is that it doesn't cause the cramps. For anyone reading, the best time to take any laxative is at night before going to bed. Also take a full 8oz glass of liquid (water preferably) when taking any pill form laxative. Water helps with constipation to begin with. The directions call for 2 to 4 pills, I took 3."


"Did its job but made me lethargic."


"My Rx 5/325. I had bilateral total knee replacement 12 weeks ago. Taking this totally helped me make it through this recovery period so far. I now take less than one a day and try to use Ibuprofen instead.  My side-effects did not outweigh the benefits, but as you can see from reading the reviews, everyone has a different reaction. Mine are: constipation, so I took a laxative or suppository, slow reaction time, be extremely careful if you have to drive, if you can avoid driving, impaired/cloudy thinking, restlessness. When I go back to my desk job, I can take this during the day, but if you take at night, you may not sleep well. I plan to continue to taper off and use only when pain level above 5. Ibuprofen nighttime works better for sleep."


"I'm on it for PCOS rather than not getting pregnant. My periods returned, were regular, no acne and my life quality went up. However I still got cysts and never lost the obscene amount of weight this condition caused.

So BC wise, it was excellent. But it didn't help my PCOS."


"Hi girls,

Here's a short on my experience! I've never taken any kind of prescribed medication or pills anything like that, I was so scared. The first few months on Sprintec was HELL. Moody all the time, chocolate cravings, irregular (but very very light) periods, always crying or getting unreasonably angry over little things, bloated as hell (despite an extremely active and healthy eating lifestyle).

2mo later everything cleared up. I'm back to my normal self. I am a little more sensitive to things, I may cry over something I haven't cried over before the pill. But everything has been just fine. My skin is so clear, I'm happier, and most importantly I'm not pregnant! Skin is clear, and I've actually lost weight. Just never miss a pill!"


"I am on my second week of Contrave.  So far nothing. Zero. No help for my hunger/cravings whatsoever.  If anything I am eating more.  I lost weight on Phenfen but I can't sleep at all so I went off.
I really hope this kicks in because I am up 2 pounds since I started it.

Fingers crossed."


"So I had my first injections one year ago, worked great. Be sure you know what your paying and when (so there is no sticker shock). My Doc suggested a one time injection this time around, so I'm going with his recomendation (they charge per visit for X3). I would like to share one knee, torn meniscus one week (after year had expired) waited two week for recoup, other knee went after the two week. So I'm wait for pre-authorization for the shots for both knee's. Down the road I am probably looking at knee replacement, but don't want to get cut until all other options are exausted."


"I struggled with depression and panic attacks for most of my life. Three years ago I was so paranoid I had started hallucinating.  I saw my doctor and was prescribed Citalopram along with therapy. My severe depression has gone, no more paranoia and no more panic attacks. So it has helped enormously with day to day life and work.  Unfortunately I feel my 'mood' never changes, I don't have happy or sad days, just one long stretch of average days. I find it difficult to cry when I know it would be beneficial. I find I have no motivation to do anything...presumably due to nothing making me feel any different. My sex drive drive has gone, as has the ability to orgasm."


"I have osteoarthritis, primarily in my hands.  On and off over the past 8 years, I've used Celebrex for flare-ups and can feel pain-free almost immediately!  It is a miracle for any and all of my aches & pains.  No negative side effects for me either.  The only part is it's expense but today I found several websites that offer coupons for it."


"Was extremely constipated for about a week decided to take ducolax because I was desperate. Took 2 about 9:00 this morning with water didn't feel anything until about 3:00 I started having bad cramps so I went to the bathroom could only relieve myself of a few hard pieces this is how it was for hours with the pain getting worse and worse with nausea sweating dizziness I kept thinking I was going to faint so I took one more pill because I thought I was too constipated and it wasn't working that was a bad idea layed in the fetal position crying due to the pain.. around 7 I finally had a bm (diarreah) and again at 920 but I'm still cramping bad and I'm completely cleaned out but am sitting on the toilet because I'm in pain"


"I have genetically high cholesterol, compounded by occasional bad eating habits.  At one point, my cholesterol was up to 342.  Within 2 months of taking Crestor, 10 mg, my cholesterol level dropped to 154.  I stopped taking it and started eating healthier, but my cholesterol went back up to 266 (curse my genetics).  So I am back on it, my cholesterol is down to 143.  I don't have any leg cramps or other type of problems that I did when I first tried Lipitor."


"I'm going through chemo (Taxol and Carboplatin) for ovarian cancer and Phenergan is great. I sometimes also take Zofran with it because they affect two totally different receptors causing the nausea and both together usually stops the ever present nausea."


"Been taking 10 years and no gout"


"I chase all the women daily like I was 18 again. "


"I've suffered depression from 35 years. It started situational then was magnified by an intense traumatic brain injury in 2010. I've tried every AD on market. I had horrible side effects, trouble tapering down, and really no relief. On Abilify, no weight gain. No spaciness. No dilated pupils. This drug works.  Even through a death 12/30 & husband Dxed BiP over Xmas. I'm not taking any other AD. 1mg. Plus Klonopin."


"Spiriva and advair HFA have been very beneficial  to myself was not expecting this wonderful feeling of not using rescue inhaler so much, it's a true blessing cleaning my house, doing my treadmill, I'm a very ,very active person, am enjoying this, but keeping my excercising daily thank you spiriva!!"


"I was put on this for GERD and to heal my esophagus for an upper GI. I was only on it for a few weeks before i was hit out of nowhere with crippling stomach cramps and diarrhea that lasted for hours. My hands were shaky and would go numb which they had never done before. This happened twice, each a week apart before we discovered the pill was behind it. Once i stopped taking it every symptom stopped, the shakiness and numbness, cramping and diarrhea all stopped. This pill had no effect on my GERD either it just created misery for me, I still do not know why I got such a reaction from this pill."


"Have tried many antidepressants. This has been absolutely terrible. Worst side effects I have ever experienced. Feels like I have the flu...very disappointed"


"This has helped me tremendously from day one. I have had trouble sleeping for over 20 years. I was taking the generic for Benadryl for the last twenty years. It would work some of the time but I woke up groggy and some nights I still would not sleep. I was reading the link to people that took Benadryl or the generic for a long period of time and it increasing your risk of Alzheimer's and I panicked. I'm 46 and did not want to chance taking it so I went to the Dr and he prescribed this. What a lifesaver. I sleep every night for at least 7 hours. I wake up refreshed never groggy. I have had no side effects and I have been taking it for 6 months.  I wish I would of known about this years ago."


"First couple days it worked out okay, I had a headache here or there and was pretty moody but other than that it was okay. I loved not having to remember a pill every day and I couldn't feel it at first. However around day 4 on it I got a yeast infection from hell. Before the Nuvaring I only had one yeast infection in my whole life and Monistat cleared it up without a problem. I used Monistat to treat the one I got from the Nuvaring and it itched like crazy and felt like I had pepper sprayed my own vagina.. needless to say I'm switching back to the pill."


"Pros:  No mood changes, felt great, did not get pregnant, very light periods.

Cons:  Definitely gained 15 pounds... was on the pill for one year where the weight came on almost immediately after starting it.  When I went off, the pounds melted away within two months and I was back to my pre-pill weight.  Very annoying, since otherwise the pill was perfect."


"Had Total Knee on Left, Supartz and other shots did not work. Right Knee is worse then left and My Dr.suggested Euflexxa. Fairly new on market, at least since my previous TKR. By the second shot, pain begin to alleviate noticably. And after 3rd shot, even better.

I am know in my 3rd year and about to get shot 3. Amazing results from Euflexxa. They relief lasts 11-12 months. Mr Dr. is pleased, especially since my X-rays show the degeneration has worsened. I am currently 68 yrs old. I wish Euflexxa was around when I had my TKR on the left knee.

Now, only if I could get them in my shoulders. OA is progessing there also."


"I've been on it for 6 months and the constant diarrhea and nausea is getting to me.  I need to call my doctor to find a alternative."


"Used after surgery because allergic to morphine. Very good results."


"I am on my sixth day of Avelex 400mg for pneumonia. I have noticed a big change in my breathing and I do feel better. Still counting down to the last 4. Mostly because after I take it, I start feeling depressed, ill, tired, and still can not eat or drink much. So I dehydrated to the point that I could not understand what people were saying. Nothing made any sense. That is better now, but still get confused, dizzy, lightheaded when I walk depressed and so on."


"I'm female 24 years old, 190lbs. I was on 5 mg to 10mg now I'm at 20mg I have been on this medicine for 8 months. It makes me feel a little better but I have had bad dreams so now I take another pill to sleep."


"Well I've been on Zarah about three months. I hate it. I've always been a happy person but lately I look in the mirror and cry all if the time. I gained 15 pounds, have horrible anxiety about stupid things, and cry on the drop of a dime. It is effective in preventing pregnancy, and I have not had a low sex drive like some others. Overall, I am super displeased and I can't wait to switch."


"I started taking methadone for back pain last month. I had been taking morphine for the 10 months prior and after dwindling funds and no insurance decided to go through the withdrawls from the morphine on my own. After about 2 weeks of HELL and the pain I went back to my doctor. She decided that methadone was a better less expensive alternative.  SHE WAS WRONG. Methadone has placed me extremely on edge and the pain in my back is barely touched. I would not recommend this medicine for pain."


"First I was on instant release Seroquel which helped somewhat at 50-100 mg doses. It gave me tachycardia so I switched to XR version. Been now

 at 200 mg and my anxiety has improved. Little bit foggy and sedated sometimes. Will try to lower the dose to 150 mg and see if it helps."


"Just shoot me! Wayyyyyyyyyy worse than the YI hate this stuff!"


"I was considering bariatric surgery, my Dr. asked me to try Contrave first. I started at 277 lbs. I started taking Contrave and reduced my carb intake, and have noticed that with the Contrave my portions have been much smaller and I've not wanted to snack between meals.  Within the first Month I had lost 12 lbs. I did have some dizziness week 4 when I added the 4th daily pill, it only lasted about a week and I've not experienced any side effects since.  I am now 3 months in and 31 lbs down- almost 1/3 away to my goal.  I've added exercise to my routine (3X weekly 40-60 mintues each time) in the last month, and I feel like I have more energy and my joints are less achy.  Would definitely recommend for anyone needing to lose weight."


"While new to depakote, I'm not really sure this med is helping my bipolar disorder.

I was on lithium er for five years and life was good, no night terrors, no mania, low level depression events at times and I was nice or cordial with people but tremors got so bad couldn't do much of anything   With the depakote the night terrors are horrific at best, think I'm rapid cycling, mania appears out of the blue and depression I don't want to think about. Is it the dosage or that I'm new to depakote. Any insight appreciated"


"My vagina is on fire, literally feels like someone is holding match there. I wish I would of read the reviews before I did This. HUGE MISTAKE. ugh so much misery, why is this even on the shelf!!! Time to jump in the shower!!"


"I have taken a low dose of Seroquel (100mg) for 9 months. Over this time
the full on cravings and my weight
have slowly crept up on me. I worry if
they keep going like this that I may end
up with diabetes. I have put on 12kgs extra since I started on March 5th 2015.

I also have no feeling down there during sex- just feels like pressure or a massage- I have no enjoyment.

I am also on Lithium and Lovan. Neither of these medications have caused these problems in the past.

My boyfriend says I have improved since being on this drug.

I think I will with the help of my doctor take myself off this drug."


"This medication has made a great difference in my life. I have suffered from a very resistant form of depression and Abilify has helped. I take it at night and it helps me sleep. To avoid the weight gain I make sure I don't eat anything after I've taken it and am ready for bed."


"I am a male and 42 yrs old. I am an ASM in retail and a husband and father of four kids. The doctor prescribed 30 mgs the first two months and upped the meds to 40 mgs. I have only been on them for 5 months. I have seen and felt a huge change in my life style. I am more focused at home and especially at work. I am Mr. Mom and won't stop cleaning at home. I even cut and edge my neighbor's front yard. I lost 10 lbs and now weigh 197.  I do feel myself get upset faster though. Because I feel that, I also stop and calm myself down. So far I have no complaints....yet."


"I loved this birth control, my first go round! Off of it for a year then back on it for 6 months. Off it again because it started giving me horrible sinus infections (is a stated side effect). Wish it didn't since its the perfect birth control. Just didn't work out for me. Definitely would recommend!"


"Started Depo 7 years ago. Spotted the first three months and felt horrible. Then all side effects went away. Got off of it to have my child and now I'm back on it. No bone issues. No weight gain. No complaints."


"I'm 25 and have been on depo for about 14 months and the only good thing is no periods!! But I still have cramps from time to time.... Since using depo I have been diagnosed with anxiety and outrageous depression to the point I'm on meds... I noticed alot of stomach pain, tingling in hands or feet, feeling nauseated when eating food, hair lost and weight gain. Went from size 16 to 22.. Always in a down mood and it killed my sex drive This drug is definitely not for me... Been off for 4 months now and still no sign of a period.... Hopefully it changes soon"


"HORRIBLE ITCHING. Googled this pain to see if I did down thing wrong and see that everyone else on here is having the same problems. this product is absolutely dreadful the second after being inserted. DO NOT BUY OR USE !!!!!!!!"


"prescribed to wife - a kidney dialysis patient in her 14th year of treatment --(haemodialysis) to control bp - died within 2 months of being prescribed.  BP escalated to an alarming rate - seven hour nosebleed - if this is not an isolated instance of such a severe reaction - strongly suggest it NEVER be prescribed to patients known to have severe kidney impairment. Would be interesting to know if any mortality studies have been done regarding the use of this drug on kidney dialysis patients. Noted that it raises the level of potassium in the blood which I suggest of itself is an indication that its use in such patients is perhaps contraindicated."


"I have suffered from anxiety and panic disorders for all of my adult life.  When I was diagnosed with Leukemia, my level of anxiety was at at all time high, because it also caused severe bone pain.  My pain-management Doctor had some samples of Niravam. The first week I tried it, my life was changed in a huge way.  It goes to work so quickly, if most effective and the half-life of this medicine seems short, so you aren't being "over-medicated".  I've suggested it to others with the same disorder, but sadly, most doctors have never heard of it. I appreciate a safe, effective medication and just wish that more doctors were aware that it's more effective and no or very few side-effects, so they can benefit more patients."


"I started Qsymia July 9, 2017 weighing in at 193.7 lbs. today: 7/27-186.8 lbs. = 7 lbs.
I am usually a big coffee drinker in the morning and I decided with this type of med. I wasn't going to add another stimulant to my body. So, I gave up the java! I'm pretty sure that is why I thought my head was going to explode for 4 days. But I powered through it! I experienced a little dry mouth but nothing severe. Just drank a lot of water. I felt the tingling once or twice, then it went away. I haven't been jittery. But I have noticed my eyes get tired looking at the computer, faster at work. I have been doing group training and metabolic workouts 3 times a week at my lunch hour. (45 min classes) pants looser!"


"I have had reoccurring yeast infections for years (thanks to oh imbalance and hormone changes)- My go-to was diflucan, HOWEVER, now that I am pregnant (and my hormones are everywhere) I can’t use Diflucan.... Monistat 7 however is safe during pregnancy. I was able to catch the infection early on (two days of itch/ second day saw small discharge) my take is the earlier you catch it the better! It only itched for the first 20 minutes after inserting and then I felt COMPLETE relief! I know everyone’s body is different and will react different to medication, if this is your first YI talk to your GYN about Diflucan, if it happens again- Trust me you will remember the symptoms- Don’t wait, and treat it earlier! Good luck ladies!"


"When I did the first treatment I didn't feel much, the doctor said he was going to use just half dose to see if that would work for me, It didn't help much. Then, when I came back in 3 months, he put me the whole dose and I would say It took like 2 weeks so I could finally feel the results. It was awesome!!!! I never used my medication again and was extremely happy with the results. Today, I am going for my 3rd session. If you are desperate maybe this could be a solution for you! Give it a try! If you are scared, you actually haven't felt the PAIN from a real migraine to actually be willing to do ANYTHING to not experience it again."


"I've been taking 50 mg Pristiq in combination with 300 mg Wellbutrin for two weeks, and it's the best I've tried.  This week I've been able to handle family and work issues with a sense of hope and able to focus rather than anxiety/ worrying, and that's awesome.  I had been taking Prozac and Wellbutrin for years but felt it wasn't working.  I tried everything but other meds didn't work or had bad side effects.  This made me queasy at first, but my dr. had said that would get better, and it did.  I take it at night because in the morning, it makes me tired.  So don't give up!  There is hope.  Hang in there. "


"At first it was great my period stopped completely until it started and lasted for two weeks. I became emotional and even little bit crazy. I never really cried until I got on this birth control but then I found myself crying at everything & I lost my tempor very easily. Then I began to have horrible chest pains, mainly at night, that would keep me awake and it felt like heart burn but much worse. Then I began experiencing very bad anxiety along with depression.Ive had very bad headaches constantly along with feeling like I was pregnant all the time. Then within 5 months I lost complete interest in sex... Like 0. I even felt disgusted with the idea of sex. I do not recommend this birth control at all it's awful & I can't wait to get it out"


"Finished taking meds today.  Its worse my fever spiking to 100.7..white paste is now on both tonsils. 800mg Motrin up  to 4 times a day..neck and shoulder pain..strep and flu swabs were negative.  Seeking more treatment tomorrow."


"Three weeks and counting! Saphris is helping stabilize my moods, along with my Lamictal, Celexa, Klonipin and Xanax. I do have a few side effects: dry mouth, constipation, lower right side and back pain. Also I have severe burning and pains in my ribs. Not sure if last one is a side effect or not. I have had a X-Ray, CT, and MRI which none show a problem. I am hoping that I don't have to stop Saphris."


"This medication actually works for migraine prevention. I take only 30 mg a night, and I really didn't expect much. The first week I still had migraines almost every day, but then after that, I almost never get them...not even close. I haven't experienced any side effects except for tiredness in the beginning, and that's a good thing. It helps me relax before bed, and not living with constant pain is a blessing. Also, I'm on 450 mg of Wellbutrin but was still depressed; this tiny dose of Nortriptyline for about 3 weeks has made all the difference and I'm happier. Actually, if I had to say one bad thing about it, it's that it's made me crave sweets like crazy...I've gained 5 pounds. Otherwise, great med."


"Chronic hives for 1 year - took all the antihistimines and prednisone.  The only thing that kicked the hives was prednosolone pack that I recently took after the Xolair shot did not work.  I have had 8 Xolair shots (monthly injections) and at first they were very effective.  After the 6th one, I had recurring hives and angiodema return so I am back on large dose of allertec and nightly taking hydroxyzine.   Xolair seems to help with the size of hives and the amount when breaking out.  Weight gain is definitely noticed but due to prednisone prior to the shot, I can't be certain it is all due to Xolair.  Will continue on Xolair and perhaps look at Kenalog shot."


"I have battled with scoliosis for 15 years and have been given all kinds of nsaids to help with the pain..This was the most recent and it has done nothing for the pain I'm experiencing."


"After ten days my open wound is slowly healing"


"This drug is a wonder drug. After 15 years of brutal bipolar symptoms (undiagnosed/ untreated) which destroyed my whole life, I now take 300mg at night and now I can have a normal life free of anxiety, mood swings, bipolar symptoms etc, I hold down a responsible full-time job, healthy relationships and friendships, I have hobbies. I never had any of that before; my bipolar destroyed my whole life. Seroquel gave it back.
I hear of people wanting to go off Seroquel.. I'm the opposite.  I would go to any lengths to make sure I never have to go off it. I'll gladly spend the rest of my life on it, because it gives me a normal life, and I won't risk that for anything. I've been on it 3 years, no side effects."


"I wanted to respond to miss lippy.  Any gp who tells you it's a "placebo" when it seems to be working for you does not have your best interests at heart. Find another one who will give you positive re enforcement and genuinely try to help you! I've got my story below, and hit my first dry anniversary today. There's no way it's a placebo, I felt different immediately and trust me, "will power" alone couldn't have gotten me this far without campral. If that's the case, I should have been able to kick this years ago. Give it another go, and dis-regard the placebo comment. Some Drs have a negative attitude towards alchoholics and think that if we only tried hard enough, we could do it ourselves. Rubbish. Start it again and let you be the judge!"


"Adipex(phentermine) is great for weight loss.  I did experience minor side effects (i.e. dry mouth, insomnia.) I have taken this medicine on and off for several years.  I noticed rapid weight loss the first time I took it, losing over 30 pounds in the first month.  I was 202lbs when I took it the first time and after only 1 month I was down to about 170lbs.  I went off of the medicine for several months, didn't exercise and returned to my original eating habits, regaining all of the weight plus some.  The second time I took it I didn't experience the same rapid weight loss I had with the first attempt, only getting down to about 182lbs. Going for try #3 but will do it right this time with exercise and diet change for life!"


"This worked like magic on my horrible, knife-like abdominal cramps and bloating. Within 30 minutes, my tummy felt great! But... Bentyl leaves me unable to work and barely functional. When I would take it, it would make me so confused I couldn't remember where I was, why I was there, or what I had just been doing. I would stop talking to someone mid-sentence and not remember what we were talking about or how I got there. I often couldn't answer simple questions. I also became very dizzy. I would only take it again if the IBS symptoms occurred at home and at bedtime. Such a shame. Nothing took away my pain like Bentyl did."


"My right kidney was removed in January 2016.  My Oncologist had me undergo a CT scan every 2 months.  In August 2016 tumors in my lungs and lymph nodes showed significant growth.  A biopsy of several lymph nodes revealed renal cell cancer and I started taking 800 mg/day of Votrient in September.  After 3 months, I just completed my first CT scan and virtually all of the tumors from the previous scan had reduced in size, some as much as 50%.  I had difficulty adjusting to the Votrient initially. I take Prilosec for acid reflux and my Oncologist told me I could only take a dose in the morning if I take the Votrient at night.  I have been able to control the acid reflux by drinking Aloe Vera juice before bed time and raising the bed headboard."


"WHY is this product still on the market?!!

I have been bleeding for 7 months straight on after taking this horrible drug. My only options to stop the bleeding is to either keep taking the shots for a year, or stop taking the shots and wait months for the bleeding to stop. After 2 shots I decided to stop but I have no idea when the bleeding will finally end. It's not small spotting, but EXCESSIVE and continuous flow of blood. I guess its rightfully called birth control, because when you're on it you'll little to no sex. Pads now cause chafing & tampons are now painful. I wish I could sue this company for making the last 7 months of my life hell!

DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG! YOU MAY NOT HAVE THE SYMPTOMS, BUT ITS NOT WORTH TRYING IT TO FIND OUT!"


"I have been on 150XL  and feel horrible. Its almost like I'm tripping on LSD. Foggy head, angry, cranky and very irritable. Heart palpitations and it makes me very lethargic. Dr recommended taking it at night and its a tiny bit better. I want to stick with it to see if it gets me to a better emotional state but don't know if I can last. How long before I start feeling better?"


"Soolantra isn't nothing short of miraculous. I have had Rosacea for the last 6 years. I tried everything. I was using Clinique products for the last 2 years and they seemed to stop working. My face broke out so badly that I cancelled my plans for about a week and would only leave the house if forced, with heavy makeup. I went to a new dermatologist expecting the same old options. She gave me a trial sized tube of Soolantra and I saw results almost immediately. My skin tone is so even, it's amazing. I went without it for two days and the redness started to come back with some blotches. It took about three days using the medication and it cleared up. I use clear zinc oxide cream over it (SPF 50) and there are days I actually go without makeup"


"I had Implanon inserted in May '10 and was told that I may experience abnormal bleeding for the first 6 months. So, I wasn't completely worried or angry when I had my period for six months straight after I had it inserted. When I was still bleeding heavily after the seventh month, I became frustrated and went to the clinic. They called the company and prescribed a very high dosage of ibuprofen 3x daily. When that didn't work, I was given a hormone pill, and that worked but only mildly. Instead of constantly having my period, I had it for two weeks straight and had one week off. I also developed moderate acne after never having it (even in my teens), gained 30 pounds, and developed major depression and anxiety."


"Been taking this for about a month and have a little bit of dizziness and ankle swelling. "


"I have been taking 300mg for a few weeks now and I have to say this medication has definitely improved my quality of life. Such a big change from when I was trying Zoloft, Celexa, Lexapro, etc. Wellbutrin XL helps control my gloominess, anxiety, and even my appetite. I am more motivated to do things during the day. The biggest side effect for me right now is that I am more snappy and aggressive when I get angry, hopefully that will subside."


"Save yourself some money, visit a doctor &... DO NOT BUY THIS OFF THE SHELF TREATMENT!

Worst experience in my life.
I used to treat a yeast infection, not only did it not solve my symptoms it gave me excruciating pain and burning sensation every time I applied it. Had to discontinue on day 3 because the discomfort was unbearable...
The yeast infection went away with the second day of my period.
This product should never be for sale!"


"If you have acne, Accutane is the holy grail.  I had mild-moderate acne in high school.  I took it for six weeks.  It sucked my skin dry as a bone, but after that, my skin looked pristine.  With the exception of an occasional stray pimple, I have not had a breakout in 15 years.  There is no point in trying anything else."


"I have used the 2mg Neupro patch for 2 months and it is working very well.  The Ropinirole that I had been using was becoming ineffective around 3pm instead of the evening when I traditionally took the medication.  The Neupro patch keeps my symptoms at bay throughout the entire day.   So I am very pleased."


"Warning Unless do you want your life turned completely upside down do not take this form of birth control. I have been bleeding for 8 months now. Constant bleeding no breaks in between whatsoever. Do not believe when the doctor tells you after your second or third shot it'll stop. It won't.  I've had more than numerous tests done everything's normal. I've been to a specialist twice. Everyone saids your body has to go back to normal on its own which could take up to a year or two. At this point I'm begging them to give me a hysterectomy. I'm only 32 they won't. I've passed out twice already due to low iron because of blood loss. Had a blood transfusion once because the blood loss. Please explore your other options first."


"I heard about this treatment from a nurse at the local CVS Pharamacy. I went online and looked up the research done. I've been on it for around 3 months now and it works. I ran out at one point and didn't think much of it and my pain came back. I suggest you try it, it really does help. I use it along with Pure Malic Acid and the two things together gave me my life back."


"I am 29. Singulair alleviated my season allergies in the beginning for a period of 2 weeks maybe, after that I had the opposite reaction, was having a hard time breathing and my nose and throat were dry all the time. I stayed on it thinking it was something else, then I decided to quit it because after a regular run it triggered a tachycardia. This was something I never had before, I am a healthy guy, used to push myself hard during workouts. Once I stopped it there were no issues with dry nose or anything else. Guess I'm one of the minority that have adverse reactions to it."


"I have taken Topamax for about 5 years I take 100 mg in the morning 100 in the afternoon and 200 more mg at night I almost never have a migraine.I used to have one 4 out of 7 days a week. I don't have any side effects not even drowsiness."


"This medication has really helped me a lot! I feel energetic, happy and my mind is clearer, along with no more memory loss! It was rough the first day though. I felt drugged, restless and couldn't keep my eyes open. Now I'm on day 3 and the restlessness still remains along with hunger pangs and slight agitation, but overall I'm pleased with Saphris."


"I've been on Depo-Provera for 2 years this month. It was great! Had little to no periods, light spotting for a week before I had gotten my next shot. Didn't have to worry about taking pills daily. I had no side effects at all. I was actually losing weight. But, the last shot I had back in March, they informed me that there was a new type of Depo, formula, that took place of the Depo that my body was used to. Ever since then, my period has been not stopped. I gained 20 pounds in one week of water weight. My cramps has been terrible to where I can't eat. I feel as though I'm pregnant at all times. I go Tuesday to either get checked to see if I need to be off it. Anyone else experienced this since they've changed it?"


"I have been on this med for a couple months and I must say I feel sooooo much better! I have been fortunate in that I never had the headaches as have been reported in the reviews! My doctor just increased dose to 60 mg which has really helped me with my activity - no more shortness of breathe or pain! I have Angina and this med has helped big time! I have my quality of life back!"


"I feel like this medication has saved my life.  At the beginning of 2010, I had a mental breakdown.  I was suffering from crying spells for no apparent reason and just did not want to live.  I felt like I was watching someone go through the motions of my life and my true self was suffering and hurting.  I made an emercency appointment with my psychiatrist.  He started me at 50mg on day one, 100mg on day two, 150mg day three, 200mg day four and 300mg as maintenance.  I used to have passive suicidal thoughts all the time and can now say that I don't.  I've suffered from this condition for 12 years (Depersonalization Disorder).  I've not known what it is like to not have depression until now.  I feel like I owe my life to Seroquel XR."


"I bought these for dry eyes and I also have many eye floaters, this product has helped me so much and makes my floaters almost go away after I use it for awhile, my vision does get blurry a few mins after use but then goes away! Great product I will buy again and the burning isn't that bad."


"I started out with 10mg, but the side effects were too much! My doc then put me on 5mg, which did nothing at all, then bumped me to 7.5. I am starting back on the 10mg this week because 7.5mg is alright but not really working as well as the 10mg did. Now, although the side effects were horrible, the pain relief was great! I am having insurance issues, so unfortunately for the next couple days, until I can go pick it up, I have to use just my Oxycodone 2xdaily as needed for break through pain, and my muscle relaxant. I realized just in one day how much the 7.5 worked more than I realized when my shoulder and neck started throbbing. It is obvious that although it was not as good as the 10's were for pain relief, it worked more than I realized!"


"Without a doubt, this medication changed my life. I have dealt with social anxiety disorder and generalized anxiety for the past 15 years or so, and have tried every kind of cognitive behavioral therapy I possibly can, without noticeable results. Reason for this being that I could't take the information I was given and use it because my anxiety was so out of control. I never realized how much anxiety I truly had until this medication kicked in. For the first time ever I'm able to hold conversations with people and have my own personal opinions on things, rather than coming up with opinions that work to please other people. Yes, the side effects for the first 2 weeks are hard to bare, but if you stick with it you will likely not regret it."


"I was put on EFFEXOR for depression & anxiety. (Was on PAXIL  for many years) I told the nurse /practitioner I felt pretty good but always wondered if there was "something better"After starting on EFFEXOR I did have vivid dreams,and headachy,nausea & dizziness and unable to have an intense orgasm (always fell short.)The big problem came when I ran out of pills and they wouldn't refill until I saw a nurse. So w/o my pills for 3 days..OMG! Terrible withdrawals..dripping w sweat,terrible headaches, insomnia, nausea, diarrhea to feeling hopeless & extreme dizziness AWFUL!!! DON'T RUN OUT! I was terrified of going off the pill (switching to wellbutrin) Day two on 1/2 tab and so far so good!:) effexor may have
its place..just not w ME!:) you need to wean off them slowly!!!"


"It works really well for all my ailments. I have been on alot of pain medicine that controlled my life. Taken tramadol has let me take control of my life back."


"Started taking Victoza, a week ago 0.6, after injection I feel slightly nauseous..it pass and then I became full.of energy, I had to move so I walk 3 miles a day,  my energy last all day, and my appetite has completely disappeared, I make myself eat, and dry mouth is another symptom for me, so that encourages me to drink more water..my fibromyalgia is in remission, wen medication wears off, I have muscle aches, but I also have  low vitamin D, I don't think I will be taking this forever or everyday I started last week at 162, I am now 156, my BMI.is at 150..so when I reach my goal I will do once a week for maintains."


"Hi,
I've been taking 240 mg of tiazac every evening for the past 11 years after a trip to the ER at 37 years old.
I waited about 2 hours to call the paramedics, but after being unable to climb the stairs I decided to call them. My heartbeat was still well over 200 when I got to the ER.
I was lucky to be in good shape because it is well possible my heart would not have held on at that rate for that long.
Tiazac works great for me.
At first I tried 2 pills per day, but did not work very well.
After a few weeks my doctor switched me to long release 240 mg.
I'm still with it 11 years later and training for a triathlon in the fall and 25 k next spring.
If your conditions allows it, exercise ! and drink decaf. ! (for me at least)"


"Have been on Lo Loestrin Fe for 11 mo. At first I experienced light bleeding and headaches. After a few months on it, I have not had a period in 5 months and no other side effects. Not having a period does make me somewhat weary but will be  visiting gyno this week for yearly check up."


"Was prescribed flagyl for BV but was never entirely sure I even had it as no tests were conducted. Took the pills and am so happy tomorrow is my last day! Literally the worst side effects ever, day one wasn't so bad just had metallic taste in mouth but every other day I've experienced headaches, nausea, and extreme fatigue to where I'm sleeping all day. The medication is so much worse than the slight issues I even had."


"doesn't stop the nerve pain on my foot"


"I took 10mg, 3x day hydrocodone for a year prior to a new pain doc in a new state requiring I switch to Hysingla ER. I had only had one 10mg hydrocodone for each of the two days prior to beginning the Hysingla so this was not withdrawals. An hour after the 20mg pill, my heart was pounding hard, short of breath, which progressed to severe abdominal pain, nausea, the worst pain of my life (easily 2-3x my very worst days with stage 3 adhesive arachnoiditis, Ehlers-Danlos, and innumerable tarlov cysts on my spinal cord), joint pain, muscle pain and spasms, and I could literally feel my CSF pulsing in my spinal cord. The doc actually made me take a second dose because she thought I was in withdrawal. I vomited the 2nd one and nearly aspirated it"


"I am sorry, but I have been looking for absolutely anything that would help alleviate the unbearable pain of my migraines.  Excedrin Migraine does nothing.  "


"I am 31 about 145 lbs and have used it 3 times. Twice, when I was on bc but had forgotten a pill during my 20's and once when I was 30 and not on bc. It worked the 1st 2 times, with mild PMS like symptoms and heavier period. The 3rd time, I took it, I had unprotected sex and realized in horror, right after, that I was in my fertile period. I rushed to the pharmacy and took Plan B within the hour. With my prior success, I thought I would be ok. I had a bit of spotting a week later, and since one of the prior times I had early spotting, I thought nothing of it, nor of the tender breasts right before my period. Only after I was starving, and late did I take a test-I was pregnant. I had pains until I had a termination and a cyst after. CONDOMS."


"I was diagnosed with PMDD and it was severe. I dreaded my periods every month and there was always one day a month I literally couldn't function. Doctor's wanted to prescribe Mirena but for many reasons I am against IUDs. We tried so many birth controls and I had issues with all of them and they never put a dent in my PMDD. Thank goodness for  my Dr . She explained to me what nobody else explained to me is that all birth controls are different in their levels of hormones, some have more estrogen, some have more progesterone and I think it's even more complex then that, anyways Camrese is supposedly as similar to Mirena that you can get in pill form. It's been like night and day for me. I feel amazing. Only complaint is cold sweats"


"I have been on this at least a year on 10mg 2x a day, I've had unexplained weight gain and my headaches haven't gotten better. I've been to nutrition specialist and stepping up the exercise and tried to eat better but no matter what I do I still gain weight and my doctor's keep telling me that I'm not taking anything that would cause weight gain! Now they have doubled my dosage."


"Had ear infections and this antibiotic worked quickly and efficently. I also found this antibiotic to be easy on the stomach."


"I got my first Implanon in May 2015, was sticking out of my arm for a week, painful and bruised, and when check-up day came a week later my doctor was "surprised" to find my bandages still on and the device still sticking out after telling me it would "heal over". He then went on to use this adorable excuse that it was because I'm "so thin". He removed it and ordered me a new one, no charge. My second one in June2015 was planted correctly under the watchful eyes of my USN mother and my fiance. After two weeks of having the device bleeding started, some mood swings, but nothing unmanageable. Bleeding went on continuously for 5 months with just a two day break in August and another two day break in later October. New OB/GYN and satisfying BC."


"I started my journey on 7/29/2017.  Unfortunately I am very limited to my exercise routine due to a car accident. I changed the way I eat and I try to eat healthier and smaller portions. I so far am down 6 lbs.  I am hoping I keep losing. With the discount card it's free no copay for me."


"I have taken ducolax pink 3 times in my life, and my first experience was terrible. I took 3 pills not knowing how strong they were and I'll just say I had a terrible night. Cramps were awful, up and down all night going to the bathroom, cold sweats and everything. The second time I took it I only took 2 pills and it was the same I swore I'd never take them again until recently I was constipated terribly. I knew the side effects so I took 1 pill about 8:30 last night and after I did I drank about 4 glasses of water. It's now 5:30 and believe it or not I have not had diarrhea like I have had every other time, cramps are not bad this time and no sweats. I reccommend if you're going to take these only take 1!! And drink a lot of water!!"


"I have been on Junel Fe for about 2.5 years on and off, and I've about had it. I should've known when I first began, because I got headaches endlessly when I started and gained weight (plus it was my freshman year of college, so double the weight), and my skin has suffered as well. This pill is the absolute worst. I have to take it the same time everyday or I start spotting, and I have never been this moody. Switching to Kyleena next month."


"Changed my life.  Quiets the irrational fears and depression that accompany anxiety disorder.  Taking 10mg/daily.  Weight gain but could also be because I'm happy and eating again.  Also sleep great and feel calm.  No sexual side effects.  Stay with it for 6-8 weeks.  If it doesn't work for you, try another medication until you find the one that clicks.  Don't give up!"


"I had the procedure for my bladder with botox on December 14,  2016. It has been the most horrible experience in my life, the doctor never told me about  the possible consequences of it, I will never recommend it, EVER!!!!!!! It's been almost three months and I still have problems."


"I had this tablet prescribed to me to take for three days, twice a day to prevent bladder infection. The tablet made me go yellow,vomit, lose my appetite and generally made me feel really bad. I still have a bladder infection so I wouldn't recommend it"


"I am on my last week on my second pack. I only have one of the pink pills left. I had my period a week early last month. And this month I haven't started at all. I'm really worried. I'm waiting it out. Other than this I have had no problem."


"Several times my heart went into palpitations due to over-exercise or stress; within 4 hours my heart returned to normal."
