"This is my second month on Skyla, I had the Mirena IUD before and the depo provera in between. They are all extremely effective. I had the Skyla inserted the day I was due for my depo provera shot, I was not on my period ( I thought I needed to be, Gyno said no)  The insertion was quite painful!! I tore into my arm with my nails trying to take the pain away from the insertion. I didn't remember it being that painful with the Mirena. I started my period 2 weeks after insertion, cramps weren't too bad, seemed to be normal and the period lasted a normal 6-7 days. The next month.. I am having contraction like cramps and have not stopped bleeding.. The cramps are horrendous and I am considering having it removed!  Not recommending!"


"Have been on this for about 5 months. At first breasts got larger (about a cup size) and my period got lighter. No other side effects however recently I have been getting very nauseous  either a few hours later or the next morning even if i take pill with food. It's to the point where I am unable to hold a conversation with someone because I feel lie I may throw up. However I do have a very sensitive stomach so it could be a combination of the two."


"I started taking lolo when I was 12 due to acne and a cyst I had, and I had the worst experience longer periods, bloating, and increased acne and nasty brown discharge with cramps more painful than any cramps I've ever felt. So I quit taking it then a few years later I started having sex and decided to get back on and my gyno gave me the same birth control even tho I told her how it affected my body but she insisted. I am currently having the same side effects and 2 periods a month and so much pain, anxiety and mood swings, and dryness during sex. I do not recommend this birthcontrol. I would give it a 0/10"


"I had been on Ortho-Tri cyclen for over ten years which worked great for me. I lost my insurance 2 years ago & my Dr put me on Trinessa. I have always had bad acne even in my 30's & on Ortho. Trinessa has totally cleared up my face!!! I feel so attractive now! I do have depression & am on medication for that. I have not had any bad side effects from Trinessa. The only thing (which is minor to me) is that I sometimes spot a tiny bit in between periods but not every month. My boobs also become tender during my period but they haven't grown :( Overall, I LOVE Trinessa!!!"


"If you can't remember to take a pill every day this is for you. I put it on my butt and you have to bend over when you place it on to make sure there are no wrinkles. Sometimes around the edges it gets dirty from wearing black pants/jeans. Not sure if low sex drive is attributed to the patch or not?? But that would be my only complaint. Way better than pill and the IUD proved to be super problematic for me so this is best."


"My wife has pulmonary arterial hypertension along with COPD and Lung cancer. The results of my wife using Tyvaso was truly remarkable. She showed improvements in a very short time frame. She has progressed to 9 puffs 4 times a day. She has had very light side effects, i.e. sore throat and mild cough during treatments. The sore throats have diminished drastically when rinsing and gargling with warm tap water between puffs and after treatments. The coughing is mild and only presents during treatment. The positive results were noticeable as early as 6 weeks and have been amazing. She looks and feels better than she has in a year. Her stamina has increased by approximately 25%. Tyvaso has given our family hope and the strength to fight her other major health problems! Thank you!"


"Plan B one step does work! Condom  broke on the 9th day of my cycle. 6 hours after the incident I got the pill. I didn't have any symptoms until 6 days after taking the pill when I received the withdrawal bleeding for 4 days. Following that I had tender swollen  breast 4 two weeks until my period came and yes my period came right on time not a day late! "


"Took minastrin for about a year and a half and saw nothing but bad side effects. My period was regular and short (but this has never been a problem for me anyway) I gained weight, had an increase in frequency and severity of my headaches , sometimes lasting for days at a time with no relief, and my skin has gone crazy! I never had bad skin before taking this bc. That is probably the worst part for me since it is visible to everyone around me!"


"I had tried four of five different SSRI's over 10 years and they didn't work for me. Also, I was put on Serozone some years ago by my GP and that medication just wasn't for me - it was finally taken off the market due to it's horrible side effects. Finally, my doctor prescribed Wellbutrin SR and it worked wonders for me. I had only one side effect which was waking up at night. I'll take that over depression any day."


"I've lost a little weight 5 -7 lb.s in 2 weeks & have lost some of the binge eating. So it's worked, but has side effects like nausea, throwing up twice now, constipation. My wife thinks I'm grumpier, definitely maybe? Losing weight ain't no pleasure cruise, but not ready to succumb to diebeties."

"I had vivid dream on Depakote. (I normally don't have dreams)."


"I was exposed to herpes simplex 1 genitally one year ago. My first outbreak was minor and only lasted a week with no medication and disappeared with no medication.

One year later I have a horrible outbreak very painful and doctor prescribed acyclovir 400mg 3 times a day. The medicine worked quickly and stopped itching after 1 day, sores healed after about 3-4 days.

After I stopped taking the medication I had sex with must have irritated the area because I got another outbreak about one week later .. Started taking acyclovir again, exept this time I experienced unusual tiredness & nausea , I noticed that if my heart rate went up that I became short of breathe and felt like fainting .. Only took the drug, this outbreak, for about 3-4 days"


"Been taking this BC for a little over six months now. It's a huge upgrade from my previous BC (Aubra). Periods are always on time and short, usually about 3 or 4 days. Only downfall I find with this prescription is the mood swings. My sex drive stayed pretty stable and haven't noticed any changes in weight (although I do believe my appetite has increased). Overall, I recommend it."


"Helps cut down on mood swings and hot flashes. Higher dose pills may make symptoms worse."


"After a bad flu virus I was left with asthma and allergic rhinitis... Trouble at night and early morning.

. Coughing wheezing and tight breathing

.? Montelucast worked... To test the theory I had to come off montelucast three times..

Everything returned.. Honestly a life saving drug."


"Been on this pill for almost a month now and I love it so far!!! I had acne before and now I have literally no pimples. Its awesome. Not any weight gain or loss and no mood swings."


"This drug almost killed me. I lost nearly 15 lbs. in 3 days. No, I wasn't exercising and yes most people would celebrate, but I was severely dehydrated and had a head ache that WOULD NOT GO AWAY. If you are diabetic, tell your doctor to give you another prescription."


"Have returned repeatedly to Chlortrimeton after taking Zyrtec or Claritin off and on. I get relief for hayfever symptoms without drowsiness and cost is lower. I feel sleepy on the other two meds and the 24 hour dose is not consistent over that period of time. My hayfever is not a severe case with running nose, itchy eyes, and sneezing from Mid-March to May seemingly getting less with age. I'm 69. Have tried the 12 hour dose and find it works consistently for me but prefer the 4 hour tablet."


"I got the shot at my first 6 weeks check up after I had my baby and I bled 6 months straight it finally stopped and then every other month I will bleed heavy for a few days and it continues on and on I have gained so much weight off of this shot it just makes my body feel funny. I wont' be continuing this shot! Don't take the shot."


"I'm currently 15 months out from taking 2 pills of Bactrim and it was the worst side effects of my life. It started with uncontrollable anxiety and depression. I didn't feel connected with reality and I felt very confused. By the second night I was unable to sleep and that is still plaguing me. I shook the anxiety and depression within a few weeks but my sleep didn't become bearable for about 7 months and then it was still terrible. To this day I have poor quality sleep, confusion and occasionally onset insomnia.  Avoid this drug. I also had a similar reaction to Levoquin. It gets better just ridiculously slowly. Others recover within days."


"I started taking Tegretol 500mg every night after dinner. Initial ten days were extremely tough....very sleepy and was sleeping over 12 hours a day. Slowly there was some improvement but still very lethargic, struggling to concentrate, do day to day activities. Going back to doc. for a reassessment. The pain is down almost 70% and has given me some relief and relaxed me a bit."


"I have male breast cancer. I do find it uncomfortable to only read about ladies issues, but understandable. I have found that I feel depressed, and mood swings for sure. Upset tummy is common, so try to keep hydrated. Seem to get lethargic, tired around 3-5pm, but take my medication just before bed, 10-11pm. May consider changing this. Given the alternatives and worrying how my family would cope without me as the bread winner, makes the decision to continue to take it an easy one. I am not going to give in to it. I'm 59,  and lost my brother to it aged 39. Played my first 70 min game of tennis today in 14 months, and really found it made a difference. So maybe keeping fit is one way of fighting back."


"I've been on Lutera now for over two years and I love it! My doctor started me on Yaz, which gave me cramps every day and made me extremely moody. After 3 months of Yaz I switched to Lutera and my crampiness and moodiness have been much improved ever since! I used to experience moderate to severe cramps the week before and during my period. I was also unable to exercise without taking Advil. On Lutera my cramps are much milder, only last about 2 days, and I can exercise without taking medicine. Also, my period was highly irregular before Lutera. Now my period comes at the same time every month and lasts exactly five days. The only downside is that my sex drive is much lower on the pill. But I still recommend Lutera for first-time users."


"I have just started taking it, but I have a cough, as with the Spiriva, and I have heart palpitations and dizziness......so....I don't think I will carry on taking it, my breathing isn't better."


"I've tried several different birth control brands since I was 18 (I'm 25 now; taking it to prevent pregnancy) and Generess has been my favorite! I use to suffer from migraines, horrible acne, and cysts in my breasts because most estrogen/hormone levels were too high in other pills, but Generess is so low that it has solved all those issues. I noticed a little nausea at first. I've been on the pill for 6 months or so. I did notice a small weight gain - 5 lbs is all. I'm writing this because for the first time since I've been using Generess, I BARELY had a period this past month and it kind of scared me. But now reading about the pill and other womens experiences I'm realizing that this pill can make your periods almost non-existent. Phew. "


"Helps me to focus and organize thoughts. This drug works very well with moderate exercise."


"I took Effexor XR after I gave up on Lexapro (it didn't work for me, waited for a couple months). I started at 75 mg and 10 days later to 150 mg. I have been at 150 for about 5 months. I feel that I am at a stable point so I don't want to change anything for a while. My doctor said to start weening off but I don't think I'm ready yet. I had gone through a gut wrenching episode in my life that lasted for about 4 intense months of sleepless nights, hot sweats, heart palpitations, heavy chest, lack of concentration, and sadness. I felt as if I was at a doctor every other day trying to figure out what was wrong. My anxieties were so bad that I felt like exploding. Thankfully I waited it out and Effexor has helped."


"Before taking this medicine, I had severe anxiety/depression. I was constantly nauseous to the point where I quit eating and got down to 90lbs and was having panic attacks nonstop. I couldn't sleep. I just felt like I wanted to die because I didn't want to live my life like that anymore. I was so scared to try taking antidepressants for the first time because I've read so many bad things. But I finally did it and I've been on 15mg mirtazapine for about a month and a half now and I can't remember the last time I had a panic attack, I don't want to die anymore, I sleep through the night, and I can eat again! I do still have some general anxiety but this medication has saved my life!! I actually feel like myself again and am able to function"


"Effective when having a particularly bad day on antidepressants but less effective when not on antidepressants. Find anxiety symptoms aren't overly settled in comparison to Lorazepam unless you take a couple. Plus they take 45 mins minimum to kick in and during an attack, isn't helpful. When not taking antidepressants, got up to 45mg on very bad days but was down to 1-2 tabs a month on antidepressants."


"In the past all medications failed, then went for stimulation of the Tiva nerve, that did not work after 12 weeks of therapy. My average times per day was approximately 15. I have been on MYRBETRIG 25MG for 3 days, my average now is 9, WHAT A DIFFERENCE. No side effects. I am 70yr old male."


"Wellbutrin is amazing. Prior to Wellbutrin I was put on Zoloft, Prozac and Valdoxan, all which either killed my sex drive, did nothing or made me too sleepy to function. For 2 years I stupidly went off medication and just thought everything in life was crap, and probably said somethings I regret to people. Eventually it came to the point where was failing at work and angry at everyone. The ADHD medication I was taking also worsened my depression.

Come Wellbutrin, I have been on it for around two months and I feel great. I have energy, more motivation, increased libido and I feel content, although I still get the moments. Also I have lost more than 5 pounds without dieting or exercising."


"Lysteda changed my life. For years, I have experienced incredibly painful periods with debilitating blood flow. I experienced severe anemia, bruising, and menstrual cramps that caused vomiting and fainting. I would clot through super pads and tampons at least one per hour (wearing them simultaneously even overnight) for five+ days. It was impossible to even leave my house because of how often I would bleed through my clothes. My dr recommended trying Lysteda before opting for an irreversibly surgery. (I am not able to go on bc or use implants due to a uterine deformity.) Lysteda started working immediately, within an hour. My periods last about 4 days now and I can get away with wearing just a pad. My life has changed and I am so thankful!!"


"I've suffered most of my life with a condition I thought was just one of those things.  My mother took me to the doctor when I was in my teens and asked her to do something with me. In those days I was given Vit B complex, which did nothing.  In my 40s the condition worsened again, and thinking nothing could be done, I ignored it.  Out of sheer desperation and knowing that this really can't be normal, I approached my GP and was put on this medication.  I didn't think it would work, it's an anti-depressant, how much difference could it make?  I'm 2 months in and I wish I'd gone to my GP years ago. If you are reading this and wondering about this medication, then please at least try it.  I have my life back and I love it."


"Long story short- I am a small girl, about 5'1. I never had weight issues until, well Life happened and I had 2 kids back to back and never lost all the baby weight. I ballooned to 225 LBS! I tried EVERYTHING with little to no success. My cravings for sugar were TERRIBLE and I had lots of stress in my daily life I won't get into. I cried to my doctor to help me and after some simple tests (EKG & Liver U/S) she prescribed me Phentermine x1 daily 37.5mg. Been on it for just about a month now and lost 10 lbs. I have never lost this much weight in 30 days with anything else. My appetite is non existent, but I do get hungry later in the day sometimes. You will get dry mouth and bouts of insomnia but those are easy fixes! Would recommend!"


"I started taking it for my anxiety when nothing else worked and its change my life in so many ways! my anxiety is gone for the first time in my life, and I'm not sedated or high. I just feel normal. My anxiety got so bad it was causing severe stomach problems, I almost had my gallbladder removed.  Not only did it cure my anxiety, my stomach issues are gone, as well as my IBS that was a seperate issue, my restless legs are gone!!! GONE, RLS was torture, it stopped me from going to movies or on planes.. but that's not even the best part! My chronic leg pain which I saw many specialists about when I was young and had since given up on IS GONE! I thought I had to live in pain forever. My life is drastically improved. No words can explain"


"I like the pill now because most of the side effects have gone away. The first month is the hardest though. My body had a very hard time adjusting to the pill and I had insane mood swings. I went from insanely angry, to sad, and depressed, even considering self harm. I do not feel any of those emotions now but if you are someone who is prone to depression try another pill."

"I was on 20 mg of Celexa for 2 years to treat anxiety (GAD) and OCD. With Celexa, I never had any side effects, and the only thing I noticed was my weight would fluctuate.My Doctor suggested Wellbutrin because it was weight neutral and also could help with ADD. I tried it for 4 weeks, which I know you should give it the full 6-8 weeks, however, 4 weeks was enough. I had horrible headaches, no appetite, felt like I was strung out, up days, down days,depressions (which I have never had), horrible anxiety, no motivation, horrible ADD, and the list goes on. I told my doctor, but she urged me to continue. Finally, my hair started coming out, and I was done. This is a powerful drug and I am sure it does wonder for people who need it, but not me."


"I got on Nexplanon in mid July 2015. The longest I've ever been off of my period since I got it implanted is about 2 weeks. Since I've had it implanted I've gone between 2 to14 days per month with no bleeding, with the average being less than a week. I'm 25, I've never been on birth control before. I have gained about 10lbs, minor acne outbreaks around my upper back. I have experienced pretty regular tiredness and depression. A comment on here mentioned the dark, rust colored bleeding, I experience that regularly. I'm super close to having it removed because of the constant bleeding. No arguing that it works tho. Haven't used protection since I've been on it. And the implantation process itself was not really painful."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"I had a colonoscopy today and used Prepopik for bowel preparation.  For my last colonoscopy several years ago, I had used Magnesium Citrate and found the Prepopik SO much easier to take, and my doctor said I had a nice, clean colon afterward.  The way I took it, I didn't taste it, and it went down very easily.  This is what I did:  Before drinking the Prepopik, I had a small amount of ginger ale.  I prepared the Prepopik with very cold water, and after stirring it as directed, I added a few ice cubes.  Using a straw and HOLDING MY NOSE, I sucked that baby right down in several big gulps, and following a recommendation I saw on the internet, I immediately sucked on a lemon!  Sounds weird, but it worked!!  I seriously didn't taste the stuff!"


"Have been taking Norco for pain associated with surgery and chemotherapy. Original dose worked for a few months but built up tolerance.  Doctor increased dosage to two 7.5 with Tylenol every 4 hours which has worked great.  Don't usually have to take more than one but if I need two I can take them without worrying that side effects will cause a problem when I work."


"I never really had acne but around 2 years ago, I started to get pimples on my hairline but nothing too serious. I went to the doctor and he prescribed me Duac. Though my pimples cleared away, my skin got extremely dry, to the point where I was so embarrassed to go anywhere cos my skin was so flaky and dry. I was so upset because it just didn't go away. After about an year, I went to the dermatologist and he prescribed me this this cream called 'ELIDEL' (prescription only), which basically saved my life, after about a couple months my skin was much better. so after multiple visits to the doctor and almost 2 years later, my skin is finally close to how it used to be. so in short be careful when you use Duac, but I would recommend never using"


"Yaz made me nauseated daily and my mood went from being a happy bright personality to a moody tired personality. Changed back to previous pill and feel a million bucks again."


"It helped me I almost felt normal, but the hot flashes the sweating and I was mean"


"I've taken Vesicare for 3 weeks now and my overactive bladder has improved significantly. Before I was back and forth to the bathroom all day at work and nights were the worst. 5 to 6 times throughout the night had my life completly messed up. So far I think I've only experienced dry mouth and I'm hoping that's all I experience because this medicine has changed my life."


"I've been on Nuvaring for 6 months. I previously had the arm implant, but the hormones caused cystic acne and irregular bleeding. No problems with the Nuvaring aside from slight weight gain (couple of pounds), which I can live with. My periods have been very regular, no spotting, no mood swings, no change in sex drive. I experienced minimal cramping the first month and continued bloating during my periods.

This is a good option for those who have a hard time remembering to take the pill everyday. Once a month is phenomenal!"


"I took this medicine for the first time last night
 I had been using Seroquel but I had so many side effects that I had to stop using it.
 Although it was the first night I used it I could only sleep for two hours at a time  after waking up several times I am finally wide-awake at 3:20 in the morning
 I ended up taking klonapin  because I have a very busy day at work and I need my sleep
 I was on 15 mg of restoril.   I will call my doctor this morning and see if she determines I need a higher dose"


"I have been using Spiriva since 2009. It was okay for the first 4 years. Lung function improved, but not great. My bladder is suffering terribly, so I gave up Spiriva last week. The bladder side effects are worse to me than the lung function. Have suffered several bouts of UTI's while being on Spiriva as well. Also, sometimes the capsules are empty. I reported this to the FDA twice, with no results. Spiriva is expensive, so to have 1-5 capsules per box empty, is very costly. Now, a week Spiriva free, my bladder function has improved, but my breathing is becoming more labored. I will try my albuterol inhaler, but will use it sparingly as well because it causes bladder problems too."


"This stuff works! I lost 60lbs on Adipex in a very short amount if time. I also did very little to exercise or dieting!"


"After 5 years on pain pills, 4 years injecting heroin, 2 years clean then a month long relapse, I went on the methadone clinic for 7 years. I never felt right, I'd feel dopesick by 10 pm (12 hours after 300 mg dose of methadone) I gained 100 pounds, had profuse sweating. The methadone clinic I went to wouldn't give me take homes due to my other scripts. So NO VACATION, standing in line at the clinic on Christmas morning. It sucked! So I was telling my Dr. Who just so happened to have a Subutex clinic. I went through the horrifying detox but am grateful I did. I feel free from the daily run to get dope or methadone. I have a monthly prescription and it feels like a life time ago that I went through all that. I have my life back."


"I've had ongoing problems falling asleep/ staying asleep- benadryl never worked for me. I got desperate one night and took some night time cough syrup which worked! I checked the ingredients, saw "doxylamine"-key ingredient in unisom - and have been successfully using unisom to get to sleep when I need it! No side effects, I take the recommended dose (1 pill)"


"I started taking this medication last week, I started suffering from depression when my marraige began to fall apart! I was trying for years to be there for my husband as he returned from a deployment suffering from serve ptsd! Right now I can say my opinion on this medication differs. One day I'm fine and can get through my day calm, other days I have serve anxiety and I'm freaking out or I'm so tired with headaches that I just want to be alone and sleep all day! A big concern,even through I shouldn't be complaining about is losing weight in a week I have already dropped 5 pounds! I feel as if I should give this more time to balance me out! I'm only on 150mg once a day"


"i love my skyla! the insertion was not the easiest. it felt very uncomfortable and the cramps afterwards were awful. but i only spotted for a few days.

my monthlys are a little heavy and long but ive only had my skyla for almost 2 months so im still trying to get used to it.

i have no mood swings either!"


"My adult size teenage son was given Benadryl IV, 50mg, *along with Compazine IV as a "headache cocktail" in an emergency room in September of 2016. While there is no way to know for certain if Compazine or Benadryl caused the severe reaction he experienced, he has tolerated oral Benadryl just fine in the past. However,  it seems important to share our experience based on the severity of his reaction that day and that multiple reports of similar exist. I do not recommend the "headache cocktail" of Benadryl and Compazine together and hope the number of similar reports are looked into."


"Bicep tendon rupture from weight lifting. I was prescribed over the counter Aleve which is basically Naproxen twice daily for 2 weeks, then once daily for two weeks. I experienced immediate pain relief. I'm now on my third week at once a day and feels great with no side effects. Definitely on the mend. Not much into taking any kind of meds or drugs but sometimes we need them to help us recover. I highly recommend this over any other pain reliever as it is an anti inflammatory as well which this injury needs."


"I'm a hospice nurse and have personally dealt with severe chronic pain with no relief from docs. I was just discharged today after having a 2 week long headache and a blood clot in my lung. Was only kept for 24 hrs but have been to the ER with the same complaints twice in one week. Was given the so called "wonder cocktail". Needless to say it didn't work. And I was given it several times with no relief. No matter how red my eyes were head feeling like its about explode. The docs basically ignored my complaints of pain. And I'm at home still in pain.  I truly understand being treated like a drug seeker. For those of us who are truly suffering its a sad situation."


"I took Next Choice Plan B after the condom broke with my boyfriend near my time of ovulation.
I promised myself I'd write a review on this site for nervous and concerned women/girls who would read this later on. First thing is to NOT panic! You've done all you can by now by taking Plan B so all you have to do now is rest well and eat well. Second, this is a drug review site and there's obviously some sampling bias because people who have the side effects of a drug are going to review/rant about it. You may experience some or none of these but it won't life threatening so keep calm!
Personally, I didn't experience many side effects besides some minor stomach pains after I took it. In the end, my period came a week early which is expected."


"I had left shoulder hurt when I was a child. About 20 yrs ago, my DR. gave me samples of Lodine. They worked better then any other NSAID out there. I am going back on it now as the problem is worse."


"I'm on day three. 150mg. Today I experienced anxiety about two hours after taking it. It lasted 25 minutes and I went for a walk. After the walk I felt better. I have never taken anything before but I'm 46 and for the,last year I've changed. Maybe age but I've lost my patience and have a sugar addiction. Haven't been sleeping. Now three days in. Slept well last three nights...less desire for sugar. Less angry and able to recover aggressive behavior. Anyway, I'm hoping to slim down and be the,laid back person I've always been before menopause started."


"This has been a life saver for me as far as migraines go. At first I had a few of the side effects, brain fog, forgetfulness, but that went away after a month or so. Without this drug, I get at least 2-3 headaches a week ranging from dull to severe. I rarely have a migraine while on it."


"Have been taking Toprol for about 7 years now, 50mg once a day. During a recent health fair at work, my blood pressure was really high. Made an appoinment with the Doctor that day to re-evaluate and was found to be running a little high, 145/94. Doctor added an additional 50mg a day. "


"I have been taking 50mg of trazodone at bedtime for 19 years. More than 50mg does not help me sleep any better and I am groggy in the morning. 50mg is perfect for me as it hits fast and no morning time sedation. It is not a controlled drug, does not have any drug abuse potential and is not addicting. My first doctor would not prescribe it to me for fear of priapism.  After 19 years--still no priapism!!"


"Have been on this medication for 4 yrs for Anxiety Disorder & Fibromyalgia. Cymbalta has definitely helped with both conditions. Without it, I'd be in an almost constant state of Anxiety & the Fibromyalgia flare-ups would be much worse. (Found this out when I reduced the dose from 60 mgs a day to 30mgs every other day, after hitting the expensive Medicare "donut hole" last year. That reduction also caused severe depression within a month and I've never been diagnosed with depression!). My side effects include some gastrointestinal problems & 30 lb. weight gain, despite daily exercise/diet. (All SSRI's cause weight gain for me). Hate the extra weight gain, but it's better than having Anxiety/Fibromyalgia pain."


"Hello everyone out there reading this.  I started taking xanax for anxiety( a 2mg bar at night for sleep to turn my brain off at night). Worked my way up to 2 2mg bars a night for sleep/anxiety.  BRAIN FOG set in. MEMORY LOSS like I was going crazy.  BE CAREFUL this med (and all benzo's)  are for short term use ONLY!!!.  Tried to taper myself off and couldn't.  I went to a detox facility (Hospital) and detoxed properly. Was a horrible experience.  I was stuck in a hospital with heroine/alcoholics for a week. If your reading this BE CAREFUL. This med is for short term use."


"Been on invokana 100 mg for 2 month to treat my type 2 diabetes I also take 2000 mg metformin daily and Trajenta 5 mg  I did get a yeast infection and horrible rash on my thighs but cleared with steroid cream yeast infection did settle after 2 weeks my sugar has lowered but still not enough I was 77 kg when starting but with a healthier diet and some excercise I'm now 71 kg the lowest I've been in years

I have now been upped dosage to 300 mg bit apprehensive how my body will cope but long term I think it will benefit me as I don't want to be taking insulin ."


"I am taking Zoloft 50 mg since more than 10 years, to deal with depression. My only problem is that I get SLEEP FULL OF DREAMS ONLY. My Doctors have tried a lot by giving many different sleeping medications, but all in vain.

I have come across a couple of patients with the same problem.

In case any of you have faced the same problem, please share your experience. If you have been able to solve this problem (of sleep full of dreams), please let me know how.
Thanks."


"I've been on reclipsen for years now. It's been horrible,  but I've felt trapped to stay on it. I do not believe in IUDs & many other forms of birth control so my primary care doctor felt this low dose would be best. We've never had any unwanted pregnancy, so it's  effective in that manner. But here are all the issues I've had with it: mood swings, depression, anxiety, emotional instability overall, low sex drive, vaginal dryness & migraines. I'll be getting off of it soon with the guidance of a new obgyn."


"Dexilant is a God send! I experienced acid reflux out of the blue for the first time that was very severe. For three days straight regardless of the position I was in. My doctor gave me a sample of Dexilant and I felt better within hours, and by the end of the day my reflux subsided. I take 60mg every day, once a day and have been well. I did experience constipation for a few days, but it went away however my stool is not fully normal. The medication is more expensive then other ones on the market, but talk to your doctor and see if he will give you a months worth of samples to see how you feel before you get it prescribed. I eat lots of dairy and spicy foods and all is well."


"It is a great medicine and I truly believe it saved my life. I did notice weight gain for sure and the withdrawal is a tough process. Otherwise great."


"Worked great at getting me to pee normally and had the bonus of giving me good erections without Viagra. The down side is no orgasm! That's a deal breaker for me. I stopped taking it.."


"I started taking Belviq 6 months ago & i have lost 32 lbs.  It is AwEsOmE and i haven't had any side effects.  I got off of it a few months ago because i was going to see how i would do without it.  Big mistake!!  I have gained 10 lbs back really quick.  Belviq isn't a quick fix, it does take time.  I take one pill in the morning around 8 and usually the other around 4.  I do get cravings before bed so I think i will change up and take my last pill around 6 or 7 and see if that helps.  I think my doctor will continue giving it to me until i reach my goal weight.  Lots of luck to you all that have tried it.  My only advice is give it a try, be patient & don't give up."


"I have been on Gilenya for 8 weeks and just recently noticed my hair has begun to thin. As I brush, numerous strands fall out.  I am a 32 year old female so this is very concerning.  "


"HORRIBLE!....Before Skyla... I was on Jaz for 5 years until my Dr. said No more!. With Jaz I had chest pains, but never Acne and I lost 20 pounds while I was in it.

So I decided to switch to Skyla.

1. Insertion: I cant describe how painful it was. I thought I was gonna pass out/2. Never stopt bleeding then spotting for 3 months. After that it seemed that the spotting stop! ... Nope! the spotting stop, but my my periods from 4days turned into 8 days(not an exageration or lying) everything is on my medical records./3. I develop cysts & fibroids, and the skyla hormone was feeding it/ 4. I developed the worse Acne ever througout my life. I never got Acne that bad, not even in the worse times of my life./5. Enough! when my period showed twice."


"This drug is by far the best sleeping medicine I have tried. Very gentle initiating sleep, and sleep for about 7-8 hours waking up feeling like I've taken nothing. I'm so glad I did my research and asked my doctor about this hidden gem."


"Risperdal worked wonders on my psychotic symptoms of hearing voices.  It worked quickly, after the state counselor ordered me to be hospitalized for my condition they gave me Risperdal and the voices were gone in two days, although they expected it to work after one day.  I continued with this medication for a few years but after awhile I found myself sleeping the days away.  The medication at this point needed to be switched.  I'm very grateful for this medication for the time it was needed."


"On Oxycontin for 10 years and seen it ruin so many life's 2 back surgery 3 rotator cuff surgery 1 knee replacement pain is bad but addiction is worse. Clonidine is a miracle I needed."


"Spiriva has greatly reduced my wheezing and congestion, in addition to increasing lung capacity.  So I guess you can say that Spiriva is just what the doctor ordered!!"


"I was on Lyrica 50- 75 mg 2- 3x/ day for fibromyalgia for over a year. Incidentally I didn't have any migraines while on it. I stopped Lyrica 7 months ago and have had migraines monthly since!"


"24 year old female. Had this implant for the past half year. Initially thought this was going to be a perfect birth control - it's not a pill so I never forget having to routinely take medicine and it's invisible. You never have to think about it so the sex is spontaneous and worry free. I've had no emotional problems with it, but I started to notice over time my clothes were getting tighter even with no drastic changes in my diet or exercise. Not having a weighing scale at home, I never knew that I had gained 30 pounds on Nexplanon, then another 13 when I had checked again. I went from a steady 132 to a 175 the entire time I've had it in me. If it weren't for the weight gain I would stick with it but I'm getting it out tomorrow."


"I take 20mg Feldene every morning, stiffness is manageable for most of the day. No side effects in two months. Like any other medication there may be risks involved, but for me it has worked very well."


"Stay away from this pill! I have been taking this pill for about six months now. I experienced several side effects including breakthrough bleeding, migraines, bloating, weight gain (5-7 pounds) and horrible mood swings. My boyfriend probably thought I was a psycho because I would always get pissed off at the most random things. I give him all the credit for putting up with it. I am finally switching to a new pill!"


"This product has been great.  Because my hair is short, and my condition was not extreme, my product has lasted about 6 months before running out.  I used as directed at the beginning using daily, then backed off to every other day.  Hair is getting thick and edges filling in."


"Has been a wonder drug for me. I keep my dosages low and take no more than needed, sometimes at the cost of not taking enough. My only complaint is it takes too long for it take effect, sometimes up to 2 hrs."


"I have been taking this medicine for almost 3 months now and during this last month of the pills I have been spotting/light bleeding for a month. I took other pills before and it did not happen. I will be stopping this when I am done with this pack."


"I suffer from interstitial cystitis and have tried all the medications to keep the burning pain and heaviness in my bladder tolerable. I was given Amitriptylene first (5mg.) and I was like a zombie the entire next day. I tried it a few times to give it a chance but without any change. A specialist that I saw a couple of months suggested that I try Nortriptylene because even though it is in the same family as Amitriptylene sometimes it has a different effect. I have taken it for 4 nights now and have noticed a huge difference in the way my bladder feels. Spasms are gone and the heaviness and burning have gone as well. I haven't slept well since taking it but was having trouble sleeping through the night anyway. No day grogginess though."


"I have been using Lasix in combination with Hydrochlorothiazide for 6 months for pitting edema/hypertension and it's effects seem to have worn off. I started on 20mg once a day for 2 months then up to 40mg once a day for the last 4 months. Now my legs are back to swelling as much as if I were taking nothing. My blood pressure is good though. Side effects, headaches."


"How often do you find a product that really does what it;s supposed to? Never. But this stuff really works 100%. I wouldn't say I had severe sweating problems, but my underarms were wet constantly. I was constantly uncomfortable because of it, always felt this nasty wetness and could never wear any shirt more than once. Wearing slim fitting tops was out of the question and I can't tell you how many silk blouses I've ruined after only 1 wear. This product worked instantly, I applied it overnight and the next day I didn't sweat AT ALL, not even a tiny bit. I now apply it twice a week and I forgot what sweating is. I can wear anything and feel comfortable all day long. And it's cheap too! $10 without insurance, can't beat that."


"I am 24 and the mother of a 3 yr old. I have had Mirena for about 3 months now. Insertion was uncomfortable and I had cramping that could compare to mild contractions for the whole afternoon/night after. Since then I haven't really had any issues other than bleeding lightly off and on for the past 2 months but I haven't had to wear anything more than a panty liner. I have checked my Iron levels to make sure it wasn't effecting me and I was above average. I did notice mild mood swings in the beginning but they went away and I have also lost weight. I would recommend Mirena to others, I researched before I had the procedure done and I asked my doctor a lot of questions to make sure it was the right choice for me."


"I used Latuda for bipolar 2 depression for over a week.  It was very expensive!  I could feel a slight difference, more positive mood after a week, but nausea even after taking pill after a full large meal.  The reason I stopped taking it was because two hours after taking the pill, I would fall asleep.  Not just be tired but actually fall asleep at work.  The naps I would take after taking the pill when at home were not fully rested, I would get chills, had to have layers of blankets for 3-4 hours.  Then once I woke up I would feel fine but it would have ruined my sleep pattern for the night ahead.  I think it will work well for someone who does wont experience those side effects.  I would give it a try.  Stay positive!"


"Age 68. I have taken Cialis for 6yrs. My first dose was 10mg. It worked way better than Levitra. However, 20mg makes me better than I was at 20. I tried taking the 5mg daily, but really can't afford the $337/month. The 5mg daily gave me the ability to achieve and maintain an erection any time. I now take 10mg every 72hrs. I get really great erections and my wife, 65 likes it. It works after 30minutes on empty stomach, but the full effect takes about 2 hrs. It works great for 36 hrs., and not to bad for another 24hrs., and just okay erections until I take 10mg again after 72 hrs. A slight headache and/or backache sometimes occurs, but nothing too serious."


"I had good results with this in using it for 1 month as directed.  I found it easy to use. I didn't experience any negatives like others mentioned.  The only problem was the cost.  $95.00 a month and that's with insurance.  I asked my doctor if there is anything cheaper and she told me to used Crisco 2x a week and Yuvafem once a week. I have and it works!  I have not experienced pain during intercourse and I cut the cost of using Yuvafem in half.  It sounds weird, but I thought it was worth sharing."


"I am 21 years old,never been on any birth control but I knew after I had my daughter( 9 weeks ago)I needed to be on something and I didn't want to be stuck taking a pill everyday. After much research I decided on Skyla since it has the lowest dosage of hormones compared to Mirena and since I already suffer from migraines my doctor and I decided Skyla would be better. Insertion was a piece of cake (day 3 of period) (and took cytotec) compared to what I went through with labor and birth, pain was about 3-4 out of 10 and was only more of a discomfort. After I felt crampy but nothing bad and I am pretty satisfied right now. I don't know how this will affect me in a few months but overall I'm happy. Don't let other's stories scare you"


"This medicine is a life saver. As soon as I start taking the medicine, I seen an immediate response. I love it."


"I can't share much YET because I literally started this medication last Sunday (today is Thursday).  Only have two complaints - the cost is the first one!  I hate that insurance won't cover this, and #2 (something I see no one else complain about!) is constipation!  It's awful.  Just a few days in and I do take Colace every day, plus I also take Miralax.  I even took senna tablets last night and nothing.  Ugh!  That's so uncomfortable.  I haven't weighed myself yet, I will do it this Sunday and see if anything has been lost one week down."


"I've been using the Butrans patches for the past 6 months. In the beginning everything was wonderful and breakthrough pain was nonexistent. I then began having more pain and my doctor put me on Norco 10/325 3x daily. It was then that I developed rashes, itchiness and an intolerance to both medications, which my doctor said isn't that uncommon. Now I'm on 20mcg/hr and life is good again."


"Felt very groggy all day the day after taking first dose. Too strong."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"The taste is awful. I  mixed the first bottle with water as directed. I held my nose and chugged down 1/3 of the poop juice at a time, finishing in 7 minutes, a swig of chicken broth between chugs rid the taste. I'm a 70 yr. young man. I almost vomited - fighting thru dry heaves from the first bottle. The water chaser helped keep it down. My bowels started evacuating in 10 minutes. The warm liquid exiting my butt contained a few solid stools but mostly liquid.  I didn't do the 2nd dose. Turns out I didn't need to. No problem with colonoscopy. Warning...

I went to lay down but had to jump up to the bathroom when more liquid escaped my butt wetting my underwear. Good idea to put a towel down on ur bed!"


"I've been on Nuvaring for almost a month. The first week I started on my period and it lasted only 4 days compared to 7 days. I felt sick for about a week plus breast tenderness. But I've had no weight gain, no nothing after the first week! I love it. And if your wondering if you can feel it ... Well you can't if you put it high in your vagina it did slip down during my first week but other than that good! My partner wasn't able to feel the ring either. Nuvaring works for me."


"So far so good, I have been taking Belviq for 1 week now, first 2 days had a terrible headach so I took my belviq with 4 ibprophen ech time to avoid the headache it was terrible lastnight and this morning took just the belviq no headaches so no extra med. I still have kinda a medicated feel in my brain but that happens to me with any new med i take i figure that to will pass. Other than that no side effects. First 2 days didnt effect my appetite at all but I still ate 1200 calories. From 3rd day on i have had to make myself eat literally. I am 41 yrs old, 5'6" tall and weigh 265 lbs. The highest I have ever been. So im gonna give it an honest try, through in some zumba and richard simmons videos and will report back. Good luck everyone"


"I have been on Oxycontin and methadone (whenever I ran out of Oxycontin) for about six years.  At first it was prescribed and helped chronic back pain, then I started taking more and more and eventually went through the 30 day script in ten days, so began buying off the streets.  I finally had enough of spending all my money and time looking for hillbilly heroin.  Started Suboxone films four days ago.  For me the first day was bad (withdrawals) but each day is getting better and better.  Too all in the same situation hang in there and get a good doctor."


"Wow, I have been on Victoza 2weeks, also take 1000mg metform daily.  My blood sugars now range 70-115.  Losing about 1# per 2days.  Little nausea first week, but gets better. Amazed, and Publix grocery store covers this med 100% so it's free with a Rx"


"Start losing weight about 5 - 7 pounds a week. I have lost 52 pounds since started 9 weeks ago. Working great!"


"Complete hysterectomy 2003. Went through menopause w minimal hot flashes.  Fast forward 2014-2016 started low dose cymbaltA for back pain after back surgery. CymbaltA seemed to help some w the pain. Dose increased to 40mg and eventually to 60mg. Hot flashes have been horrible. They come on fast and there is nothing that makes them better except sitting w a fan blowing on me. I have heard bad stories about stopping cymbalta and the side effects of that. I am fearful to stop but too hot to continue."


"I have been on Loestrin 24 for a year and a half now due to heavy periods and severe cramps and I haven't had many problems with it. My periods have gotten lighter only lasting about 4 days and I have had little to no cramps. I never gained any weight and my breasts were never tender. Though, one side effect that I did always seem to have was yeast infections. Also, if the pill was missed or taken late, then it made me very nauseated and I had to miss class a few times. Overall, it was a great birth control but I am now switching to Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo."


"Its helping my sugar levels.  I have no side effects."


"I have been on this medicine for over a year now. It was helpful in controlling the anxiety and panic attacks so much so that with the help of other holistic therapies (chiropractic twice weekly, nettle infusions, herbs and blood type diet to cleanse colon) that I feel its time to try life without medicines once again.
Ruminating thoughts snowballing, vivid and often violent dreams are constant and have been all throughout the treatment. I plan on taking myself off over the next 6 months so I can learn to FULLY relax. Now my anxiety is under control and my lifestyle has changed to enable that to continue."


"My Dr told me to take this to ease premenstrual syndrome - one week before my period - the second time I used it I felt very strange - I couldn't stop crying I called my Dr and  broke down in her office. Before this I had not spoken more then a few sentences to her,  she got upset with me and  told me to see a shrink who put me on Prozac 3 weeks of use and  I had a manic episode and was informed I had become chemically bi polar and that SSRIs can cause this to happen.  It took 2 years to feel ok again"


"Me and my wife were hooked on pain killers for over 8 years. I always heard bad things about methadone. We started the program a month ago. She has no back pain and we are not chasing pills all day spending our rent money. I think methadone is a miracle. It worked for us and I would say don't wait. It's not for everyone but it was for us."


"I've used Ambien for almost two years for my insomnia. It works very effectively."


"After having my first child, I realized I had gained 80lbs! My original weight pre-baby was 130, but when stepping on the scale before delivery I weighed 207.  I am a short woman, and so this weight is very showing on me.  I have taken this medicine about a year previous and lost 10lbs on my own after the medicine, so now this year my doctor said I could try them again since I was taking 3 different anti-depressants that counter acted with the medicine.  So now I'm on it again, but it is no miracle pill.  I have been on it a week and lost 10lbs yes, but I work out every single day. It is there to help you control portions and teach your body to not overeat. Most women when getting off this medication go back to their original weight."


"I have severe nerve pains in my hands and feet. I am not diabetic, my doctor tried me on 60mg. By the 7th day I had my wife call the doctor and advise that I would like to discontinue use. I take a lot of different medication for different medical problems and can tolerate them well but this "Cymbalta" was different. It made me feel disconnected, my body was here and my mind was out there somewhere, like have tunnel vision. Did not like this medication. "


"I have been taking anastrazole 1 mg daily since 2/2011 for the treatment of breast cancer.  I have not received chemotherapy or radiation.  This is truly a dreadful disease that imposes a life sentence on you.  I too can attest to some very uncomfortable side effects but, I also accept that there is really no medicine which is side effect free.  I feel stiff most of the time, my muscles ache and I am weary.  For the most part I walk very slow and has problems ascending the stairs. My migraines had subsided as I age but they have started to hit me up again.  Nevertheless, I am truly grateful to this medicine and intend to take it for the duration.  I am glad it has assisted in the arrest of the disease. I am 60 years old."


"I have had migraines since I was about 12 years old. Tried EVERYTHING, Celexa Topamax, Amitryptaline etc. Side effects of those drugs for me where too heavy, memory loss etc. Sumatriptan is magical at relieving symptoms most of the time! It is not good for you to take everyday, which is alot of my problem. Been out of work for over two months with 20+ migraines a month. Neuro put me on gabapentin 3x a day and has helped dramatically, frequency is down a bit. Going to start botox in a month :) PS: I highly recommend Compazine for nausea, it also helps with the pain!"


"I love this birth control, it is great! I do have my period sometimes and it is pretty light. There is no pill, no patch, just every 3 years place a new one, the only con is my insurance will not cover ANY type of birth control and I have to pay $850. However, much, much cheaper than a KID!  I am 28 and don't really want any yet. Haven't found the "right one"."


"My insurance covers the whole cost of the medicine thank goodness, otherwise it would cost over $700 per month. I only rated it an 8 because even though it works wonderfully to completely wipe away my depression by taking my required dose of 5mg once at night and once in the morning, I cannot seem to fight off the sleep in the morning even if I take it right when I wake up. When I can fight off the sleep I am so tired that I feel sedated for about 6 hours. The taste is awful but bearable. I just don't know what to do about my morning dose. It makes me hungry but the downside is that if I eat within 4 hours of taking Saphris it is a little hard to swallow my food and I do get a tingling numb tongue for about an hour after taking medicine."


"For those of you experiencing fatigue, it would make sense to take Cymbalta at night. This is how I have dealt with fatigue with many medications and was also the advice of my doctor. ALSO, for those with side effects that are bothersome, I was advised to give it more than a week because they usually dissipate. Don't stop taking it after only a few days!"


"I've been using this gel for about a month, along with Minocycline prescribed pills, and it works pretty good for me. I've had mild acne for about 4 years and nothing ever worked for my skin. This stuff really works for my skin, although it does make it dry because I already have dry skin. Very good progress in little time."


"I am 70, female.  19 years ago had right kidney removed due to renal cell cancer.  In spring of 2016 my shoulder began to bother me, and it got worse until my upper arm broke just below the shoulder, due to renal cell cancer which had metastized to my upper arm bone, my pancreas tail, and two spots on my liver. I first had two weeks of IL-2 which gave me awful side effects and no changes to the cancer tumors. Have been on Votrient since September 2015. November scan shows tumors shrinking. Feb 2017 shows tumors are still shrinking.  Side effects are diarrhea every day, body and muscle pain, scaly sores on my bottom, fatigue, and just recently pain in my hands.  I take 800 mg daily, late in the day.  I take Tramadol for the body pain."


"All thyroid drugs to treat hypothyroidism make me very ill - nausea, weakness, extreme fatigue with flu-like symptoms, weight loss.  My TSH is 46, so I need to take something.  Very frustrated and anxious about how this can be treated.  Endocrinologist doesn't seem to know what to do."


"I feel nervous and can't sleep after taking this"


"I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and I have tried A LOT of different birth control.  I used this particular formulation for about a year.  Unlike the others, I did not bleed through this one.  I did however cry at everything!  I cried when I saw cute kids playing, when Kelso did cute things for Jackie on That 70's Show, and when I got good grades on tests. Everything made me cry.  Also, my breasts were tender all the time, and I never wanted sex, but that has been the case for all 7 years of birth control.   I did not notice any substantial weight gain."


"I started yesterday was lil nervous but took my first pill at 3 pm about 1 hr. Later I was soooo tired I past out woke up at 5pm. My husband just got home from work usually dinner is ready he understands what I'm dealing with so he said rest omg I fell asleep till 7pm had the strangest dream & I decided to take it tonight trying to get a feel for best time to take it, right now I feel like I'm walking threw strobe light tunnel almost feel like I don't know what the hell in doing, not hungry at all just feel zombie out but this is new to me"


"I had tried Orencia, which worked for three months and then quit. Next, I was on Rituximab, but after a year and a half, my rheumatologist and myself decided to switch, as it was not helping enough. My rheumatologist suggested Actemra and life has come back to me! I have only been on it a year and a half, but during this time, I have felt so much better. My C-reactive protein went from 38 to 1 and my SED rate has gone from 18 to 0.1.
Interestingly, the IL-6 protein was my culprit and Actemra targets that protein. With todays Vectra-DA blood test, studies are finding which biologic medications can work the best for you.
Rheumatologists are also finding the sooner they turn down your symptoms, the easier it is to control inflammation caused by autoimmune disease."


"I was perscribed lutera, and when i went to the pharmacy they gave me orsythia instead because it was more affordable for me, yet an equivalent of lutera. As of recently I have been experiencing a lot more headaches and migraines, which my doctor warned me about (since I have family and personal history of severe migraines). I haven't gained any weight, my periods are very light and about 4 days long. They start on the third inactive pill. In addition, my breasts have increased in size but not been tender.  I like orsythia. I was very paranoid about taking birth control, but orsythia was a lot better for me than I expected, however if my migraines continue I will need to switch :("


"It is hard to judge this drug with others since it is the only drug I have used.  Having said that, it works.  My focus is better while I do not experience the same racing heart beats when stressed, and  I rush less.  Best of all, I finally quit smoking and this drug helps immensely with that.  I do not experience side effects, it helped to stablize my weight and enhanced sexual feelings.  My doctor reassured me that it is safe and I can continue to take it.
Most anti depressents are seratonin uptakes but this is a dopamine uptake.  My theory is we lose dopamine with age."


"This was the third birth control that I tried, and was pretty close to just not using birth control pills anymore since the last two I tried has such severe side effects. However, this pill has been going quite well for me. I have been taking it for the past 2 weeks, and the only side effects I've noticed are nausea, headaches, a little more tired then usual, slight more acne. I am also getting this weird stomach pain after eating right after taking my pill but that could be from something else. Sex drive is normal, and my mood is the exact same. All in all, I think it's a good pill."


"Im up to 200mg per day, and honestly, I really dont know how much its helping me.  I seem to be a lot better, but I think the Clonopin does a lot more for me."


"Hi, thank you all for your comments. Ive just started topamax (second night) 25mg and cant sleep. I now see its a side effect that some expereince and it will go away. I will persist. Had a bit of a headache and a bit fuzzy in the morning but thats it. will let you know in a week if any weight loss. definately not feeling hungry."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I previously took Lo Loestrin and had depression, breakthrough bleeding and just a general feeling of blah.  My MD switched me to Beyaz, and those feelings are gone.  And, as a benefit, somehow or another I have lost like 8 lbs in the past month.  OF course I exercise regularly, and eat right, but seem to have less of an appetite. Love this pill!"


"I have been diagnosed with anxiety for over 10 years taking Lexapro and with Bipolar for 3 months and have been on Topamax. I love it. Have lost weight and feel great."


"I had HORRIBLE hot flashes."


"On it's own Wellbutrin SR 300mg/day didn't really do much for me. We then added Paxil 20mg and Klonopin 2mg along with the Wellbutrin and I have to say, this is a great combination. The Wellbutrin counteracts the sexual side-effects that go along with Paxil.  Wellbutrin by itelf is okay but in combination with Paxil and Klonopin, helped immensely.  Highly recommend. My mood is consistenly good, lots of energy. I feel social and light-hearted again. No side effects and I feel great."


"Started taking this pill 3 months ago. Worked fine the first month. No spotting or anything, now I'm on month 3 and I have been on a heavy flow peorid for 3 weeks. Acne is acting out. And massive weight gain. Used to weigh 120 and now I weigh 134. Do not recommend this drug"


"Although this medication did bring my sugars down a bit and my tastings incredible I had to stop taking it because of constant yeast infections. I thought I could toughen it out but after being on it for three months and no sign of the infections going away my doctor took me off of it. I have also notice my hair is so much thinner and falling out. My nails were also brittle and breaking. And make sure you drink plenty of water because it dehydrates you very fast"


"Plaquenil has been great for me.  It has reduced the stiffness & swelling in hands & feet to almost nothing.  Started at 200mg twice a day, and have since reduced to one time per day.  I have a complete eye exam once a year to watch for possible retina side effects."


"I used to get cold sores frequently and have become so anxious about getting them that I keep a script for Valtrex in my wallet. After three years being cold sore free, I felt the burn and saw a patch of redness on my top lip. I immediately went to the pharmacy, filled the script and took my first gram of Valtrex within an hour of the first tingling/burning. I went to bed and woke up perfectly fine [and took the second dosage nonetheless]. I have no cold sore, no redness, nothing. I can't begin to tell you how much of a relief it was to wake up without that horrible throbbing swollen blister. I so highly recommend this. I can't imagine being without it now."


"First time user...Never again!!! Never.

My yeast infection was very minimal. First night it burned like crazy, and itched to the point wear I had to soak in a bath tub to keep from clawing my  vagina off. Second night I had such bad cramps that I just stopped. Third day my discharge has increased. I made an appointment with the Gyno, & was cured with one pill."


"I've been on 175mg Sertraline for 3 weeks now. The first two weeks were not great with heightened anxiety on some days, some brain fog but I also experienced some good days. My depression lifted almost completely. I started at 25mg 10 weeks ago and slowly moved up. Each time I moved up a experienced the heightened anxiety and brain fog. The last 5 days I have been feeling much better. I wake up with anxiety and nervousness which I believe is now just a habit I have to change but the anxiety lifts much faster than previous. I'm going to report back in a few weeks but I would say I'm already 80% better."


"I have suffered with hot flashes since my late teens and began menopause at 50. I tried Effexor XR just to see if it would help and was so surprised with the RELIEF that I got from it. It helped so much. It didn't stop them. I don't think anything can, but it sure did cut the number of hot flashes by at least half. When I do have one, it's a butt-kicker, but by cutting the number in half, my quality of life has been improved so much. Between the Effexor XR and Topamax putting a complete halt to my migraines, life is really good again!"


"I've been on the Nexplanon for just over a year in November 2015. I decided to try it because I was on the Depo for too long. I went 10 months with no spotting or bleeding. I'm guess'n my body was slowly taking itself off the depo. About 3 months I spotted for about 5 days. Then the 4th month I spotted for about 5 days, stopped for a day or so & started back for about another 5 days. It finally stopped maybe the 3rd going into the 4th week in December. I was like thank goodness. Now it has started back up on the 15th of January 2016. It started light and seem to get heavy at times. It has been 2wks as I type this and it's nerve wreckn especially when you at a job that you can't just up and go to the rest room to check yourself. Getn it removed ASAP"


"I am amazed with Chantix! I've smoked a pack a day or more for five year and it made my cravings nearly completely cease. Nausea and the bad vivid (sometimes lucid) dreams were the only side effects I experienced. I stopped the nausea by eating and drinking water with the medication. Wonderful, wonderful product!"


"I have been using Spiriva since 2009. It was okay for the first 4 years. Lung function improved, but not great. My bladder is suffering terribly, so I gave up Spiriva last week. The bladder side effects are worse to me than the lung function. Have suffered several bouts of UTI's while being on Spiriva as well. Also, sometimes the capsules are empty. I reported this to the FDA twice, with no results. Spiriva is expensive, so to have 1-5 capsules per box empty, is very costly. Now, a week Spiriva free, my bladder function has improved, but my breathing is becoming more labored. I will try my albuterol inhaler, but will use it sparingly as well because it causes bladder problems too."


"I have only been on this medication for a week now. I have heard so much great news about this medicine in my area and also know several people who have successfully lost the weight. My weight started at 192lbs and I'm trying to get down to 160lbs. I don't want to be skinny just get rid of the extra weight. It's only been a week and my appetite has dropped drastically. I love the product so far and with exercise and will power I know I will make my goal of 160. And so can all of you. So "lets get thin"."


"I have suffered with migraines for 15 years and was at the end of my tether. Every attack made me bedridden for 2 days and then another day to fully recover. Thankfully I have a great doctor who prescribed Naratriptan after every other drug had failed. I take it as soon as I feel a migraine starting and within an hour it has totally gone. I have found that if I wake up with a migraine even this drug doesn't help but when I do get it in time it completely knocks it out.  I am very lucky because I live in the UK and I get this drug on the NHS for a nominal prescription fee ("


"I have only taken 3 doses of Belviq and I have lost 1.5lbs already. "


"I've had migraines my whole life and the week after I took this medication they stopped immediately. I used to get them 2-3 times a week, now never. "


"These reviews scared me to death, but I decided to try it anyway. I've never had a child, so the insertion was super painful, even though I was on the last day of my period and got both a shot and medication for softening and opening the cervix. It wasn't sharp pain, just extreme discomfort pain, but after it was in, it didn't hurt. I've felt fine since, aside from some minor cramping. It's been 12 hours and I haven't bleed or cramped a lot. So far so good. I'll update later."


"Abilify does not work. It is not the medication for me. My heart races I can't breathe half of the time right  I get dizzy I'm panicky and unmotivated I'm Droggy and always lethargic very down and it has the opposite effect. !!!"


"I have been getting the Depo-shot since 2008 and its been great. I stopped having periods since the first dose which was a plus for me because I get really sick. I didn't gain weight. The only thing is that the shot is very painful, but I will continue to use it for as long as I can. It's very effective for birth control."


"I was diagnosed with Systemic Sarcoidosis. After a year and 1/2 of trying different medications with no relief, I started Remicade. The first two Infusions got rid of the flu like symptoms and the horrible aching pain throughout my body. The third Infusion got rid of the same symptoms, except I do feel knee and back pain still due to damage done to those areas from arthritis. I felt the back and knee pain after the first two Infusions too.  I didn't realize how sick I was until I felt better. The last time I didn't feel like I had the flu all the time, was 32 years ago! I thank God for Remicade! It's a miracle drug. I have absolutely zero side effects too! I give it a 20 on a scale of 1 to 10!"


"I started lamotrigine only one week ago for classic bipolar and an anxiety disorder. I noticed it starting to work on day two and really noticed a difference on day three! It is life changing! Before my head was overwhelmed with many thoughts processing, many of which were negative, angry thoughts, and now my head is calm and quiet. My thoughts are now all positive and nice. I don't think I could say mean things even if I wanted to because literally my brain blocks it! My anxiety has gone away too, what a great feeling! I had no negative side effects. I was told it may cause weight loss and memory loss, BUT since my head is much more relaxed without anxiety I have started to eat normal again and I have actually had improved memory."


"I was addicted to pain killers of all and any kind for 6 years to the point where I tried heroin. Then I met a life-saving Doctor who told me about Suboxone and I was put on that medication and I have been clean for 3 MONTHS. I feel good about my life now and it's like all my troubles are gone. I am 21 yrs old and I graduated high school and now am applying for college! I wanted to give a special thanks to the Suboxone program people. Once again thanks."


"On Ampyra for over a year with no real benefit."


"I have been on Doxepin and Xanax for 28 years, I take 150 mg doxepin at night and 1 Xanax at night 1mg. My doctor has me taking no more than five Xanax a day. I am starting to get more and more panic attacks during the day but I don't want to take more than 4 of the Xanax."


"I have had AMAZING results using Ziana Gel over the past couple of months. "


"you know that feeling when you miss your period by a couple of days when you're on the pill? The one where you google signs of pregnancy- moody, , bloating,tired (what I feel everyday of my life) and then they tell you are pregnant and have all the STD's. Then your heart drops you freak out and can't concentrate at work. Yeah that one.

I haven't had that feeling in two years because of skyla and it is the bomb."


"I had Graves disease 20 years ago and my thyroid was burned out with irradiated iodide. I was put on Synthroid daily and gained almost 80 pounds over the years. I had all the bad headaches, fatigue, water retention, brain fog etc. Finally I started working for a functional medicine doctor who specializes in bioidentical hormone treatment. I signed up and we switched me over to Armour. I have only been taking it for about a week and I am already starting to feel better. I will report back in another week to say how I am feeling. "


"The best thing my Doctor has put me on yet."


"Rx Lorzone 750mg, bid. Took for 2 days, unable to tolerate. Caused vomiting,dizziness, felt like limbs coated in cement. It worked great on spasms. Headache and other side effects not worth taking drug. Will stop and tell my doctor."


"Monistat 7 is the absolute worst thing you can use for yeast infection.  The burning, leakage, itching, and inflammation is ridiculous. I do not recommend this to anyone.  The company need to go back to the lab and fix this stuff."


"This medication has saved my life. after suffering with OCD for 16  years it has helped so much. I never thought I could be so happy and relaxed as I have been while using this medication. It has calmed my anxiety, anxiety about my OCD, my obsessive thoughts and helped regulate my sleep. can't recommend enough."


"I have been suffering from migraines for over 20 years. My migraines are hormonal but also stress related. First time I took sumatriptan I couldn't believe how effective it was. My migraine disappeared in only 15 minutes and I was able to live my life as a "normal" person instead of lying on bed all day. Unfortunately the magic only lasted a few times. I realised every time I had a migraine it took longer and longer for the drug to act. And also my migraines were more frequent since I began using sumatriptan.
I stopped taking this triptan and my doctor suggested another one (zolmitriptan) which is working really well for me and I only have 1 migraine per month now."


"I'm not sure if it's working was prescribed 2 a day for 10 days I get cystic acne and I have broke out worse since taking it makes me bloated and tired but can't sleep also makes my skin super dry I just finished my last dose I hope it's one of those gets worse before it gets better, just try to get accutane."


"I've been on the pill for 2 1/2 weeks and I haven't had any bad experiences like I had with the Levora. Trinessa cleared up my skin a lot, my skin is glowing with radiance and nature beauty. I'm grateful to be on Trinessa."


"Calms my Migraines a bit, but then they go back to normal or even worse. Not the best medication for me."


"I had several brain surgeries and because of these brain surgeries I developed a pinched nerve in my neck from the trauma. I have three incurable diseases and my legs are almost always hurting.

I started out on neuro tin then went up to Lyrica. I can only take so many a day for the pain. My doctors wanted the dosage up, but my stupid insurance did not allow this or would not pay for it. So, I am stuck on the same dose and have been on the same dose for a while now. These two drugs are a life saver. I don't understand what reason why my insurance will not allow me to up the dose because it makes no sense considring it's doctors orders. Lyrica is a life saver (hands down) and so was neutorin. If you plan on stopping these drugs, Wean!"


"I have been on microgestin  for about a year now and I love it. In the beginning I messed up my pills and kept taking the white pills ( the active ones) so I didn't get my period for about 3 months but once I realized I messed up, I went to the doctor and just worked it out. I am not getting my period regularly , they are very light, even though I never really have had heavy periods before. No pregnancy. I don't think it has helped with my acne at all, but I did gain some weight (5-7 pounds or so) so far I am happy with it, but my insurance is starting to cover Junel Fe, not sure if I'm going to start taking it or not, after reading some reviews  I'm nervous  about it."


"I have had 6 colonoscopies.  The prep for the previous 5 were terrible and I was really dreading this one.  I was very pleasantly surprised to find the suprep was not bad at all, especially using a lemon slice to suck on after each drinking.  I will no longer dread the prep for a colonoscopy."


"Last August I had the Mirena instered. I was 20 at the time and knew that I did not want any children for the next 5 years. I was really nervous about getting the Mirena because I've never had any children before and heard that the pain was awful. The GYN doctor that I was seeing prescribed me Misoprostol to insert into the vagina to soften the cervix. I also took some Ibuprofen an hour before the procedure. During the procedure I did have A LOT of pain, (as expected), but nothing that was not bearable. I experienced a lot of cramping pain during the dilation and insertion of the procedure and also 2 days after the procedure. I love the Mirena now and no longer have a menstrual cycle or cramping. I've not had any complications so far! "


"I have the Implanon 3 years in January 2012. I had my period for 5 months after I got it in, now I get them every month and a half for 2 weeks but they are not really heavy. I put on 3 stone, I'm depressed, I always get mood-swings, I cry for nothing sometimes. I have a very low sex drive and I'm only 20. The only reason I have kept it is because I don't have to worry about getting pregnant as when I was on the pill. I always forgot to take it. I'm thinking of getting it out but don't want to go back on the pill. Everyone is different though, I know a girl who has the Implanon and she gets no periods and never puts on weight and gets no mood swings and has a good sex drive! "


"I end up in the ER at least twice a month with migraines so bad that I'm in tears and can't even hold water down because of the nausea from the migraine, and I am given this medicine every time I go in and it has never worked for me."


"I had the mirena  inserted 4 days ago now, I decided to get the mirena as I have very very painful period cramps and I had recently moved to a new area and getting the pill was a nightmare. The insertion for me was very very painful, the doctor had to dilate my cervix so it made the cramping even worse, the pain was so bad that I was actually sick. However I'm still experiencing bad cramping days later. I won't say at the moment if I hate it or not as it's been only a couple of days but i hope the cramping stops soon!"


"Had an awful infection along my right side of my gum line, including a tooth that was abscessed. I have terrible side effects to almost any antibiotic so I was not very impressed having to take it. I started the medicine yesterday, and drank it with tons of water, made sure I didn't lay down for almost an hour and also took acidophilus. I had no issues whatsoever, however this morning after taking  the first dose I started with heartburn, I've also noticed an odd taste in my mouth. I took Pepcid and hope that will help knock the heartburn back a bit. Seems to have been improvement with the abscess already so I hope this is as bad as it gets. In comparison to the toothache, I'll take the heartburn. Drink plenty of water!"


"I've had life long crippling anxiety, my doctor first recommended escitalopram to treat my GAD after several hospitalizations from panic attacks. I was really hesitant but it's been the best decision ever. I feel normal for the first time in my life. The first few weeks were a little rough because it made me extremely tired and drowsy, but I was just relieved not to feel anxious. It's been a lifesaver. I can leave my house, I can eat, I can sleep, I can go out with friends & I haven't had a panic attack in months. I have gained about 15 lbs but that's the only negative I've noticed."


"I got the Skyla IUD inserted exactly a week ago. ( 21 with no kids) The process of getting it inserted wasn't exactly comfortable. It was painfull but it only lasted a few minutes. I was bleeding so bad that I had to stop by the store on the way home. Now on day 7 I'm still have pretty bad cramps. I have been taking ibuprofen since the first day. At one point today I was in so much pain my body started shaking. I'm still spotting but I'm staying hopeful. I just keep trying to stay positive that it will get better. I hope this helps someone!"


"I started trulicity three weeks ago never felt so sick in my life feel worse when I have my injection which is a Saturday my son gets married soon on a Saturday so I'm really worried cos I know I'm going to feel awful.  I have not lost any weight yet ..."


"Almost halfway through my second week I had to stop taking Contrave because it jacked up my blood pressure. BP probably would've been a lot higher than the 156/93 had I not been talking blood pressure medication already."


"I started this medication due to depression and uncontrollable panic attacks and anxiety. I started on 10mg and had very bad nausea, very tired and no appetite. The first two weeks were the same but the definitely by the 3rd week I could feel by body calming down and was quite pleased. Unfortunately, I started having awful tingling and burning in my arms, mostly the left. Now I have titrated off and now on Effexor, but I am still having the burning and tingling in the arm but have had only 1 panic attack. The first two weeks are hard but hang in there. It will be worth it!!!! I wanted to give up as well but I had to think about my family and that pushed me through. I'm not 100% but I can drive and socialize now without getting as panicked."


"I had my mirena in about a week ago and I love it!!! So many negative things about the mirena, but everyone is different! It was uncomfortable getting it inserted but not unbearable! My doctor  was amazing! I didn't bleed at all... no cramps... or any other bad side affects!!! Everyone takes time to "warn" people of the bad side affects but many fail to acknowledge the positives! I would truly recommend this to any other female that has had a baby!!! I suffer from migraines so I couldn't take the pill, this was the next alternative and boy am I glad this was it!!!!"


"I have adult acne and rosacea due to pcos. I have redness, welt type acne, rash type scne, black/white heads on my face. When taking Augmentin, all my skin problems dissappear within 2-5 days and my face stays clear while taking the prescription. Augmentin is a Godsend."


"I've taken other birth control pills to treat my acne, and this one is the worst that I've been taking so far and I hope to stop it as soon as possible.

The pills significantly decreased my menstrual blood flow. However, I've been bleeding straight for half a month.

I doubt if this works on acne. Immediately after taking my first pill, I had another severe acne breakout. I was at my home on spring break and I'm sure the breakout isn't from stress or the lack of sleep."


"I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DRUG! I like many of you really from what I have read had a great experience AT FIRST. I am 26 years old and do sales for a living. I was on cloud nine towards the beginning trail of this prescription. I was able to concentrate more than I had in months and was more motivated to go out and look for new leads for my company. I found that I would get dizzy or a tab nauseous but I found that staying hydrated and always having a water bottle with me helped out. I developed a problem where I would know what I wanted to say but when I went to speak it didn't come out right and literally made me sound like I was high or drunk. VERY SCARY!"


"I ocasionally use Tylenol rapid release during the day and recently developed cold and flu, so I decided to try Tylenol PM at night for better sleep. Make sure to read the drug interactions first, as I spent two restless nights with nervousness.  Many of my friends take this product, so I'll pass it on to them, but if you are on other medication, check the list of side effects."


"Well.. I had unprotected sex with my so called "girlfriend" on a Thursday night. She texts me Friday night, saying she had chlaymydia. Yeah, after we had sex. Anyways I went straight to the hospital Saturday morning and took 4 azithromycin pills (250 mg each) and was given a shot of  rocephin. After hours, there were no sign of side effects. I started experiencing slight diarrhea late around midnight of Sunday morning. Slight diarrhea ran through the day. I went to sleep Sunday night and woke up Monday morning around 3 a.m. with the worst abdominal pain. It's been about an hour and the pain is going away. No sign of diarrhea yet, so fingers crossed nothing else happens!"


"Before using Detrol I was up 2-4 times a night to urinate, plus there was severe urgency.  After taking Detrol for a little over a week, all of these conditions stopped.  I do have some dry mouth, but it is more than acceptable considering not taking Detrol."


"I'm 19 years old, & I've taken Loestrin 24 Fe for 4 years now - I absolutely love it! From age 12 I had 9-10 day irregular, extremely heavy cycles. My cramps were so bad that I couldn't get out of bed & would start vomiting, & my acne was out of control. Once I turned 15 my mother suggested birth control. The first month was rough; I started the pack the day after my period ended & a week later had another full period. The next month was a drastic change - my period was 4 days, NO cramps & my skin has looked amazing ever since! Went from taking muscle relaxers for pain to an occasional Advil every few MONTHS! My insurance is great - 3 months for $22! That's less than $7.50/month! Sadly no increase in breast size, but no weight gain, either!"


"I've always had generalized anxiety & social anxiety ever since I can remember, but I would still push myself to go places like mall, Walmart, or just walk out my front door, not knowing what was wrong with me. So around 17 I dropped out of school, & started working as a cashier, did good & managed to control my anxiety, until I'm 18 now, and here come the panic attacks & agoraphobia kicking in. I hated leaving the house & just being around people period. So I quit my job; I went to the doctor he put me on Paxil 10mg, then Paxil 20mg didnt do anything, then Zoloft 50mg then 100mg a month later. Overall my mood is much better/calmer. I'm still a shaky mess in public & even around people."


"First I noticed my computer screen got too bright and then I had to let less light into my room. After One Week being on Macrobid I really got worried as every thing I normally could see such as my 24' wall clock was blurry and I could not even see the numbers. I saw my eye doctor and it was determined after many tests, that Macrobid was really degrading my vision and it happened quite rapidly.

It took about a good full two weeks before I felt my vision was returning close to normal. Yes, when your vision goes bad , one gets really shaken.If you notice that things start to get too bright after two days of being on this drug. See you Doctor and fast. I had a vision test two months later and I am happy to report all was once again well."


"It is an effective remedy but the side effects in my case were worse than the problem. There was a point after about a week on the drug that I thought I was going to die. Daily it got worse and I felt very tired all the time and it caused severe dizziness, trouble breathing and while I was lying in bed I was woke up with a terrible feeling that I was passing out and could not go back to sleep and just lay there with the feeling of my head swirling."


"I've taken melatonin 3g before but I just started taking it again and have been feeling dizzy with extremely bad headaches and my hands are shaky. I also feel it is harder to wake up in the mornings. Not sure if its reacting with my Prozac because before I took Prozac it worked very well. I do recommend it but obviously if you get these symptoms you are going to want to stop."


"Six days after beginning Xeljanz, I awoke during the night with complete sinus blockage - as in zero airflow through the passages. I have facial numbness from forehead to chin, nausea, abdominal pain, and dizziness. All of this continues though I discontinued the med 2 weeks ago. I am on prednisone to help calm the reaction, and it is doing very little. I called the company to report the reaction and the steered me to a "medical help" line rather than the proper process to report this severe reaction."


"I am so hopeful about this medication. Within 24 hours, I could tell a world of difference in my outlook (I have suffered with major depression most of my life). I have been on Pristiq 2 weeks now. I did miss a dose 2 days ago and could tell the difference in my focus, concentration and mood (yesterday and today), so I will definitely be faithful about taking it from now on.

I am feeling the overwhelming tiredness after an initial burst of energy when I first started taking it. I hope that will get better. And I do think it has helped me focus on other things besides food."


"I had sex with my boyfriend on September 2nd around 3am. I then went the following morning and got the plan b pill and took it around 2pm. My period usually comes between the 6-8 every month. I have never been late or missed a period. However, I never got my period and was experiencing nausea, vomitting, headaches, and got a UTI (which I have NEVER had before!) I waited until yesterday, September 20th to take a test and it was positiv. I then took 3 more, all positive. The pill did not work for my boyfriend and I! Big waste of $55!"


"I was referred to a specialist after 20 years of migraines. She spoke with me about botox for migraines which at that point in my life I was desperate for any cure. The day I had it done I had a severe migraine. The neurologist told me it would be more painful and it would probably make my side effects worse BUT that it would only last a couple weeks at max. It lasted 3weeks of stiff neck and soreness. But after a month it was worth the soreness and stiff neck because the botox kicked in and for some reason helped me stay migraine free for a whole YEAR!? I'd recommend this to anyone desperate for some relief."


"After being diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis (2012)I began experiencing anxiety and depression excepting this life change and handling the symptoms. My doctor prescribed me Lexapro 20mg/daily which helped with mild anxiety and over all day to day stress. However, I still experienced heavy anxiety while traveling & taking on new projects/assignments at work. I explained that I felt that the Lexapro was great but not working in all situations. My doctor then switched me to Luvox 200mg/daily. I've been taking Luvox for less than a week now and am already experiencing dry mouth, lack of motivation, diarrhea, nausea, light headedness/faint, and being more emotional and irritable. Obviously not for me. Life over all was better with Lexapro."


"Voltaren is amazing. It takes away my arthritis pain and helps with overly tight neck muscles. It does nothing for my Occipital Neuralgia, but does help with my chronic tendinitis in my hand."


"I have completed 7 weeks on this medication.  Side effects are dry mouth at night and profuse sweating of my head with minor exertion.  No big deal!  $90 a month.  The literature says to give it 16 weeks.  I started at 233lb and now I'm 212lb.  I notice I don't snack mindlessly. I don't reach for a second helping. I am watching carbs because my A1c is 6.3.  During the first several weeks I didn't see much weight change. I think it takes time.  I am very please and I know my doctor will be!!"


"I had allergic experience from gardening and my skin on arms was quickly burned and dried like very old women. After just one use of this cream almost all the wrinkles were peeled out.  This is fantastic!"


"I was prescribed Celexa and Ativan for severe anxiety. I was told to take Celexa 20mg in the morning as soon as I got up, and take Ativan 3x a day. So far so good if you want to ZERO emotions. I work in a high stress job and and can't be a zombie all day so I quit taking the Ativan. Seems as though the Celexa is doing its job pretty well. I'm able to function at work, just a bit lethargic. tomorrow will be 1 week, and the Dr said it will take up to a month to receive the full benefits, Fingers crosses!"


"Mom was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2003 and went through treatment. In 2004 developed metastatic bone cancer in her back which was non treatable by chemo or radiation.  Her doctor put her on Tarceva in 2005 and did a PET scan base line.  We repeated the PET scan in Jan 2009 and her cancer has not progressed AT ALL!  There are even a couple spots in her back that showed cancer in 2005 that did not appear in her 2009 PET scan.  Mom has had no side effects from this medication.  The doctors in 2005 thought Mom would only live 6 months, I am extreamly pleased to have her for 4 years and still counting.  "


"Still weigh 230 after 1 month. Wk.1 lost 3 lbs but gained them back by week two. Water loss.  All this pill did was control sweet cravings but suffered because was always extremely hungry. Don't waste money. You need to be on strict diet and extreme exercise plain walking will not do it. If you diet and exercise you should not need contrave. Try getting the free week trial to try as it is expensive $90 for month supply. Used my Xmas gift money and birthday money and now I am sad cause did not work for me and am short of money. When I read review there were not many with negative result. Now I think they may not publish all reviews. Get another less expensive pill. I am unable to walk much"


"I had whole body swelling, caused by retaining water. I didn't have ankles, I had cankles, lol. I tried lasix, and 2 weeks later, It was down a little.Ankles still swollen just as much, but hands were going back to normal. Upon going to my check up, my doctor decided to try Bumex 2mg. Within 1 week, I was back to normal. The only problem I had with these pills is they're large and sometimes get stuck in my throat."


"THANK god for this drug. I can honestly say they have completely turned my life around. Striking a conversation with an old friend or a stranger used to be incredibly awkward and I would over analyze my words. Now, I’m completely comfortable talking to anyone and I really don’t seem to be bothered by a whole lot. I really do believe this drug has not only changed my life but it has saved my relationship and done wonders for my social life. I have switched to Cipralex due to some side effects, I feel it has the same benefits as Celexa but is much cleaner. For anyone in the beginning stages of this drug, (especially experiencing no libido, digestive issues, insomnia), please just stick it out, I PROMISE it gets much better!"


"I was diagnosed with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis in 2008.  I’ve been on all kinds of medication including asacol, 6mp, remicade, humira, prednisone, amitriptyline, Lialada and others.  I also had surgery to remove my gallbladder due to stones - which I regret now since I don’t think made any difference with the BMs and bleeding.

I finally had good results with Lialda.  I used to take 4 pills a day but managed to ween down to 2.  I also realized that part of the healing process came from Spiritual healing and mental attitude.  The stress from a job played a major role in my flare ups.  Prayer helped me spiritually which in turn helped me with my mind, which then helped with my gut alongside Lialda and a less stressful job."


"Like. You know that feeling when you hear people saying your exact thoughts and you're just like "YEAH!"  "Oh Em Gee!" ?? That's totally happening to me right now!!! I wish I read these reviews BEFORE taking this beast of burden. It's like my vagina is screaming crying and all I can do is try to rock it to sleep. But the rocking and rolling I'm doing is doing nothing for my snatch. The only thing that's helped is reading all of these reviews. Now I'm crying for two different reasons "


"Don't buy it. Go for 2 week free trial. Still need to exercise and strict diet. If can't do both more likely will not work for you either. After 6 weeks, strict diet but unable to exercise still weigh same as when I started. Wasted 90 days. False hopes. Wish I could get a refund."


"This was my first attempt at a prescription for weight loss and I took this from 9/13-3/14. I lost weight and my appetite, somedays forgetting to eat at all. This medicine had a big effect on me that I didn't comprehend while I was on it. I held a high level position and drove multi-states for work. Q made it increasingly tough to focus and effected my eyesight and caused some hair loss over time. I couldn't sleep and in addition to not being able to focus, I was exhausted....Wired AND Tired everyday! These things got worse over time. I had dull, almost puffy pain around my eyes everyday, all day long, and my hands and feet were freezing even in hot weather. I was so off-kilter on this...although I lost weight, I felt increasingly awful."


"I experienced the "restlesss, anxious" side effects from this medication and it's been almost 24 hours and I am still feeling it in my legs.  My headache is gone which is great, but my legs can't stop moving."


"My PP thought I needed a higher dose of estrogen in my pill, so I was switched to this pill. I’ve been totally not myself recently. I have given this pill the suggested amount of time and I feel as though it’s getting worse. I’m EXTRA moody, unhappy, extremely irritable, zero patience, nauseous a lot of the time on top of already having acid reflux, anxious. About 10 days before my period, these symptoms flare tremendously. It affects my career and my relationships. It’s almost scary.  I’m looking to get off of this pill ASAP. So not worth it!"


"This product is not well known. I had to introduced it to my sister. She was taking Advil PM and it made her angry, anxious. I took her off Advil PM it and got her on Midol PM. Few days later, she called me and shared the same thing I experienced. Calm, well rested, relax and not as angry as before. I love this product. I hate the fact that it took me so long to find it. It needs to be marketed more. Black women like me have issues with our periods. Bad cramps and insomnia plague us. A product that focus on treating these problems without the side effect is God sent. I take just two pills at night when I am PMSing and during my period and I wake up like a new woman."


"This medication makes me light headed and sleepy. Not worth less the pain"


"My first experience with Imitrex was taking it at work...well, that was not a good idea! I started to feel the migraine coming on, so I took it at the first symptoms like I was told and went about my day. I'm a technician for an ophthalmologist and I started to get a hot flash. I stood up and my arms and legs went totally numb. Since I'm on Topamax too I expect a little tingle, but this was a RUSH. All this aside, about 30 minutes later most of my heavy duty migraine symptoms were thwarted. Not gone, but a lot better. I feel they would have been much better if I had been able to lie down rather than been on my feet working. I also still had a pretty decent headache and photophobia the rest of the day."
