"I certainly wish I could experience the loss that everyone is claiming here. I have been on Contrave 30 days and have lost 1 pound. I started going to the gym so I can't even give that one pound to Contrave.  It did make me feel foggy and a little nauseous at first but that soon subsided. Now I feel nothing. I was so hoping this would work for me.  :("


"I have been on savella for 5 months now and it really does work. It doesn't make you pain free but it has helped me 75% from where I was. It didn't work that well for me at first. It took about 8 weeks then I started felling a real difference. The worst side effect is the sweating. The others I had is gone. I am going to try a natural herb for that. I take a good multivitamin and b-12 complex which helps me with the fatigue. I have had chronic pain from fibromyalgia for almost 10 years. Took all the medicines. Like others said your whole life changes. You hurt all the time can't get out of bed for days at a time. Try it for awhile, give it a change."


"I found that I had some warts over my vagina two months ago, they looked bad and big. I was scared and I started to use this cream. I didn't see any result at the first treatment and I didn't have any side effect, it was really discourage. So the second treatment, I used this cream with salicylic acid on my warts. It burned my vagina like a crazy when I was using the acid, but it works! I applied the acid 3 times a day and used this cream at night. The warts started getting small and after a month, and appeared some side effect like itching like a crazy at night but they were completely gone in a month ! And now, there are no any warts on my vagina and I'm watching will the warts come back in this 3 months."


"I was an absolute mess for 17 years until 7 years ago when I found the answer to my prayers, suboxone, and ever since I became established with a doctor and insurance life's back to normal. So I am an absolute supporter of bupenorphine/naloxone and I switched to Bunavail because I could no longer tolerate the taste of the subs. And 5-6 months later I have had not 1 problem with them. My daughter also tried them but she experiences withdrawals within a few hours and she doesn't like them. Just goes to show how much it varies from person to person. My advice is to at least try them if you for whatever reason are considering making the switch. The taste is definitely tolerable and the convenience of being able to talk while dosing is great!"


"You guys, this medication deserves some kind of award. I have this random patch of HSV 1 on my eyebrow. It flares up a couple times a year. Previously, I have been prescribed acyclovir for breakouts. I wasn't too convinced it really did anything at all, but maybe it reduced my breakout time by half a day. This time, I happened to have a doctor's appointment that fell on day 3 of a breakout, so I mentioned that I wanted some acyclovir to help. My doctor said that was an older medication, and Valtrex was newer and better, so he gave me that. WITHIN 24 HOURS THE BLISTERS ARE NO LONGER BLISTERS AT ALL AND I AM HEALING. They did not burst, they just totally regressed.

I took 2 2g pills twice a day for one day. This is a miracle drug. 10/10"


"I was switched to this after being on Ortho Tricyclen Lo (loved it) and Gildess (loved it aside from hair loss). Blisovi led to painful and embarrassing breakouts, especially along my jawline and chin. I've never had perfect skin, but this was unbearable! I usually don't write reviews, but I had to share this one. Also, my hair was shedding like crazy--I was practically going bald! Awful :(

Also, I was on Ortho Tricylen Lo all 4 years of college and it completely cleared my skin and gave me semi-heavy periods and caused some mood swings. Maintained good weight though..

I was on Gildess for 6 months until it was recalled. I did have hair loss, but I was happy all the time with clear skin! Also, lost about 5 pounds (I'm 5'4" & was 110lbs)"


"Yes, this medication works. It works very well for chronic anxiety disorder and  sudden onsets of severe panic attacks. Knowing what I know now, I wish with all my being it had never ever been prescribed to me, and without the absurd nonchalance dozens of practitioners have portrayed.

I'm 32 and have been prescribed clonazopam for 14 years. Ive been in situations where my health insurance is in transition and I must go off the medication abruptly-- this is when I realized how deep I was. Weeks upon weeks of non stop physical, emotional, and psychological withdrawal effects that are like hell. Words cannot accurately describe just how awful it is. This, again, has been my experience during withdrawal as a long term clonazopam patient.

All skin, especially the face, becomes numb. Vision gets fuzzy and difficult to see clearly. Panic attacks become extremely exasperated, frequent and debilitating. Severe irritability. Worst of all: a terrifying disconnection between your mind and body; as if you're an onlooker watching and feeling this horrible thing happen to you, but not actually feeling connected to any of it-- that one is tough to explain. All of this... It can lasts months, maybe more. That's right. Not just some one week hump to overcome.

After finding how awful the withdrawal is I've been attempting to ween very very slowly down from 3 2mg doses per day to eventually zero, hopefully. After six months of gradually decreases in dose I'm now at 2- 1mg doses per day and I'm not sure how or if I can go much less than that. No doctors I've had have been of any help. The ween down was my idea and the rate of it was also my idea based on experience. It sure would be nice to meet a doctor that truly had knowledge of this withdrawal syndrome and took it a bit more seriously. I am confident that the medication is no longer treating my anxiety disorder, but simply preventing withdrawal from the meds themselves. And there don't seem to be any good alternatives. It's a long road ahead, please think it over and over with someone knowledgeable before being so quick to embrace this miracle drug. The truth is that most of us actually need very real psychotherapy, not chemicals that run our lives.

Once again, all my point of view from my personal experience. It feels very good to share this."


"I have been on Zonisamide for 5 years. I've tried several other medications to control my seizures but always switched due to side effects (hair loss, depression etc.). Zonisamide works the best so far for me! I love it! I haven't had a seizure in 5 years and I'm very happy with my quality of life! The only setback is my memory, I have word-finding issues big time! It gets very frustrating when I can see the person or the thing and not say the word. I have a Bachelor's degree in English, so you can imagine how annoying that is! But I would choose Zonisamide over anything else for sure! :)"


"I got the Skyla put in about 3 weeks ago and so far so good. I was SO anxious about having it inserted but it truly was a breeze (I also had taken .5 mg Xanax, which I highly recommend prior to IUD insertion, it helps a lot). The process from the moment the speculum went in to when it came out took about 2 minutes and I was done. I mostly experienced discomfort from pressure more than from pain; nothing like I had imagined it feeling. I had cramps the day of and then only have had 3/4 days of cramping episodes since then. As far as bleeding goes I had very light spotting for the first 2 weeks and then my period started and I've been on my period for 10 days now. Also I've had random crying episodes that may or may not be IUD related."


"I started taking Adipex-P on Jan 21,2012 and I have not had any side effects except for the dry mouth that can be controlled by drinking lots of water and so far I have lost 18lb. I'm in my 3rd month and hope this pill keeps working as it has been."


"Within 20 minutes of taking this medication one side of my body became numb, I got really confused, and felt like I could not talk and then I lost consciousness briefly. It was the closest thing I can imagine to a stroke, and the after effects from this very scary experience lasted for days. I was told to discontinue immediately."


"I started taking this medicine in December, got sick and forgot a pill. I got my period it lasted 15 days and I wasn't supposed to have it yet. Then my doctor changed me to a different one. Started taking that one and within a few days I started bleeding again. It would be a great thing to only have a period every 3 months, but the side effects for me made it worse."


"For endometriosis I was initially prescribed Lybrel. They stopped manufacturing so I took Amethyst - the only listed Lybrel generic -  for 3 years with side effects of break through bleeding and weight gain). Three weeks ago the pharmacy gave me this indicating Amethyst no longer available, which isn't true... This med is horrible. I have been bleeding low flow for two weeks (no period in 5 years), cramps, abdominal bloat, and increased a cup for bra size. Quick changes! The intense moods swings - particularly into rage and depression - have been scary. By indicating Amethyst "ONLY" CVS will order and my Dr called in, today. Can't get off this quickly enough. Avoid if you can."


"I was on accutane for 7 months? Something like that. And had no acne at all afterwards but 6 months later I had a random terrible flare up and used onexton, worked pretty well except I put too much on one area so if kinda burnt my skin."


"I called Forrest Pharmaceuticals and the customer service rep told me they are NOT planning on discontinuing, but they are having trouble getting enough of the active ingredients (pig thyroid) to meet demand.  Thank you "Swine Flu" for causing people to be afraid to consume pork.  I feared this would happen when the scare about swine flu first hit the news."


"This medicine has saved me from living in pain with bladder spasms. I have taken it 3 times a day for 10+plus years. It took a few weeks to start helping me but over all these years it works for me. I thank God that there is a medicine that keeps me from hurting every single day due to bladder spasms. It really is unfair there isn't a generic for this medicine after all it was on the market since 1996. I live with this condition for years without knowing why I was hurting like I had a UTI every month. Come on a make this drug cheaper and stop charging such ridiculously high prices. Shame on whoever is blocking this drug from becoming a generic."


"Taking this for 2nd time for serious dental infection. I have a lot of titanium in my spine and have had one infection that was treated with 7 weeks of IV antibiotics. (This was done at home for last 5-6 weeks; pic line inserted, self-administered with patient friendly large syringes. Ten years earlier I would have had to be in nursing home for treatment, so consider myself lucky.) But dental infections can travel and I don't want a repeat. PenVK-2,000 mg/day didn't help. Now 300 mg clindamycin HCL every 8 hrs. is working well-and fast. I always take probiotics-30 billion-10 strains. Most important is saccharomyces boulardi, which is a yeast probiotic and can cure dysentery and prevent c diff."


"Bisacodyl should be taken on an empty stomach.  It has a capsule that protects the medicine from acting on the stomach.  If you take it with food or close to a meal, then there it will open in the stomach and you will get the bloating and nausea.  Suppository is a great alternative and it works very well.  For me it started working within 30 minutes."


"It is good."


"I do feel Clonidine is a highly effective while going through opiate withdrawal. It helps a great deal. I couldn't imagine a detox without it."


"My gosh...I can't say enough about this medication. I suffered through a series of traumatic events one three years ago, and felt that my dulled emotions were simply situational. Eventually, it got to the point where I couldn't maintain a clean house, missed deadlines, isolated myself from friends and others, and would pray that I wouldn't wake up some mornings. This is the first antidepressant I've tried, 30mg dose. Aside from slight appetite suppression, I've experienced no side effects. I've been on it almost a week, and I notice I awaken without that heavy depressive weight on my chest. The feelings of failure, the crying jags, and the crippling anxiety are diminishing already."


"I started to experience feeling dizzy a lot, lightheaded, really bad headaches and also nausea. I can't eat as much as I would like too or used too because most of the time I feel sick. And sometimes I don't like to go out because I feel too dizzy or have a crazy headache. I'll take ibuprofen or Tylenol and I get nauseous! I've had crazy mood swings that I've never seen myself have before. My depression has increased so much that I'm starting to think that my  kids would be fine without me.. it literally has taken over my life. Honestly not sure if it's the nexplanon doing all this but I haven't felt like this until I got my implant. I'm hoping if I take it out it'll all go away!!! Totally life changing"


"I was hesitant to turn to drugs to treat my depression. I read through this page and saw that it really seemed to help some people so I gave it a try. Totally changed my life for the better. The first few weeks were rough, getting used to the medicines but I stuck with it and couldn't be happier. Life is pleasurable again. My energy level is up, sex is enjoyable again, I started to exercise and have lost 15 lbs. To anyone thinking of trying it, it IS worth a shot. Don't feel bad about asking a doctor for help. It is nothing to be ashamed about and could make a HUGE difference for the better in your life."


"Hi, I am on day 12 of taking Harvoni. I have had hep C 1b for over 30 years. I never knew my real self. At days 1-3 I felt tired, fatigued, irritable had headaches and brain fog. Felt the same as I always had. Started noticing changes on day 4, increased energy, could see whites of eyes instead of a murky brown yellow, skin looking better. Relapsed on day 7, started to feel tired, had to sleep after eating lunch, no energy. Days 8-13 feel amazing, no joint paints, feel 10 years younger, brain active, eyes alert, glassy, yellowing almost gone. Palms of hands were always bright red right upto my finger tips, seeing patches of white through the redness, redness starting to fade a little each day. Thankyou God and the minds behind Harvoni."


"I am 18 years old and I have been taking Aubra for a little over 2 months. So far it has been working effectively since I have not gotten pregnant. The only problem I have with this birth control is it has made my acne worse! Everywhere else on my face is clear except for both sides of my cheeks they are such bad breakouts. I've noticed them to appear once I was on the pill for a while. I guess half a bottle of foundation to cover up my acne is better than having an unplanned pregnancy so I guess I will have to live with the complications it comes with."


"I have been on Trulicity now for a month, and have mixed feelings about it. I started out getting very nauseous from the med as well as having horrible heartburn, which I still get every now and then. I NEVER want to eat...I think birds eat more than I do. But a good part of eating less is my daily dosage of insulin has went down by 16 units. But it's horrible never being hungry, because I have to eat. But I have lost 8 pounds in a month, which every woman loves. My blood sugars are, for the most part, better than what they were before I was on trulicity. I think the major thing it has helped with is the after meal spike and then keeping them steady during the day. I can't wait to see what my A1C is next month...my last one was 7.1."


"Horrible side effects;  irritability, headaches, malaise, did not help me with depression as a result."


"Works for about and hour then my excruciating back  spasms came back and it says take one  every 8 hours!"


"I started on September 1st, so today is 14 days.  When I stated ~  female, 5'2 230.  I have lost somewhere btw 10 and 12 pounds.  I have NO appitite!! I have to make my self eat.  The first week I had the sick belly but thats all gone now and the only thing Im dealing with is tired!!  Im so tired Im having a hard time getting through the day.  I think I will move my dose to dinner time and see if that helps.  Good Luck yall!!!!"


"Fire. One tube in and haven't been able to get out of the bath since! I have a fairly high pain tolerance, but this was like no other. Never again."


"I have had the PARAGARD for a little over 5 years. I have three children and decided that is enough. The first time I went to get it placed the NP was THE WORST and it was so painful she did not seem to know what she was doing. At one point she left me in the room with the duck clips left in my whoha and said she need to get another doctor. When she finally decided to come back I said please take this out and I'm done I want to leave.
Two weeks later I knew I needed to go back so I did with a different NP and she was wonderful. I had it placed no problem, a bit of pain but nothing that was I could not handle. My periods are for the most part irregular. I have noticed my sex drive is a bit lower like don't touch me if I'm not in the mood."


"I'm suffering friom depression and anxiety. It's been a week that I'm on welbutrin 150 xl , I feel a difference. I feel I'm more sociable and happier. More energy, lost my appetite and it seems I'm losing weight. Which is a good part of the drug."


"It works! I used to pray for something to help me-Xolair answered my prayers!I started in March 2015 and the 1st shot my nose cleared. Since then each shot was a journey. I was on Prednisone too often and April August  September usually meant using the nebulizer  prednisone & hoping I wouldn't go to the hospital. Walking from family room to kitchen was challenging,walking my dog-no way! I now am taking my dog out 4Xday.Also I want to do more things. My allergist never told me about Xolair, I found out on Internet! Please try it as it is lifechanging!
Good Luck!"


"1month post 12 weeks Harvoni treatment, terrible joint pain in hands and feet, also reported by others post treatment.
Hands almost feel paralyzed .
Guess even though I've had my 12 week blood test and it showed Hep C negative
Can't wait to see what my results will be after the 12 week mark.
Post Harvoni problems are not readily available but I know this is toxic medication and may have long lasting medical issues long term"


"I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar II after being told I had Depression for about 2 years. My doctor prescribed me WellButrin, which I am still on and love. Following, I was put on Prozac to "take my edge off" and I took it for 2 years but it gave me horrible nightmares and I am now off of it. My doctor then prescribed me Latuda. I have been on it for about 3-4 weeks and have loved it. Before I was diagnosed with type II I had no idea why I would be so upset one day but feel great with an abundance of energy the next day. It was my cycles. I cycle very frequently, however, the Latuda has helped me stay constant and stable. I don't get upset over stupid things anymore (and they were stupid) and now have a better capability of letting things go."


"I've been on this medication for 4 months no. I started noticing a dramatical change in my facial hair, it's all gone by 90%, for my hair loss I can say that I did see a big change but at least I'm not losing hair like I used to.

It makes me urinate alot but its a normal thing. It all also helped me to lose weight. No side effect until now."


"I had my iud put in last Thursday. I have four children so the pain during the insertion was  a 3 on a scale of 10. Had spotting which now three days later turned to a light flow. No cramping yet. So far so great will give another review after check up next month."


"Have had lower back pain from an injury 5 years ago picking up an incredibly heavy cabinet full of books. Yeah I know super intelligent! Have tried Xanax, ib protein 800 and Advil and nothing takes the pain away like flexeril 10mg consistantly right before bed! Wonder drug for me! Best part of all its non addicting. Doctor said its a torn muscle on the left side of my spine, also shot me up with a cortisone shot that hurt like hell for days! I have been on it for a week and it's night and day for me, hope it keeps doing what it's doing. Good luck to everyone!"


"Cymbalta has really helped me calm down and figure out what my problem is with my psychologist.  Thank God for Cymbalta."


"I have ADHD and this medication helps with everyday life. I can focus on what I'm doing. The only real problem I have with this medication is the fact that it affects how I treat others. In other words I get agitated a lot faster.  I don't want to be angry and before I took this medication I would always turn the other cheek, but now unfortunately I get real angry really fast."


"I've been on zovia for about 3 years now and I've about had enough. Yes it has been so far amazing in preventing pregnancy or whatever. But the side effects are no joke. The weight gain is horrible, for example if I eat regularly without the birth control I weight 130 pounds but if I'm on the birth control eating the same I weigh almost 150 pounds IT IS RIDICULOUS. My mood swings are so bad I'm so sensitive and emotional and I wish I would've read reviews on the birth control first because, before your period if you think PMS is bad try being zovia while you're on your period NOBODY will wanna be around you. Anyways not everyone is the same but that's just my experience."


"Ever since I was ten years old I have had obtrusive images of inflicting pain/suffering on myself and others. These images create emotional turmoil in life, because obviously I don't want these thoughts. I've tried different medications, yet Anafranil seemed to work the best. My obtrusive thoughts went away almost completely (granted I was on the highest dose). However, Anafranil had consequences: It gave me irregular heartbeats, and heart palpitations to the point where I felt like I was having a heart attack. I had to wean off the medication because of this. This was distressing to me because Anafranil made me emotionally feel like a million bucks, but physically made me feel dumpy."


"Update! I started Contrave on 12/6/15 at 5'2" and 166lbs. As of 1/17/16 I'm down 15lbs. I'm on 1400 calories or less a day and exercise for about 20-30 minutes 2-3 times per week (if I'm lucky!). I'm a nurse so I regularly get at least 8-10K steps I per shift, so that may be a plus for me. The nausea and constipation have gone away, but when I tried to go up to 4 pills, the nausea and headaches came back with a vengeance, so I've been taking 3 pills and steadily losing weight so I'm not concerned about titrating up to 4 pills. Don't give up -- your body needs time to adjust. It is not a miracle pill - you have to make an effort and lifestyle change if you want this medication to help with your weight loss."


"I started the meds on 11/13/2015 weighting 206. Today is 12/21/2015 and I am down 19 pounds.  I experienced little nausea.  My insurance covered the entire cost of the medicine. My goal is to get to 160.  Wish me luck."


"I had trouble with anxiety and having a "short fuse". I thought about death constantly and had trouble remembering things. In short I suffered from depression. I was horrible to my coworkers, family, and friends. I have never taken an antidepressant before. I have been taking Wellbutrin for 5 days and I can say that I feel better. I have energy, although I have noticed some heart palpitations...nothing worth seeing a Dr about. I have a decreased appetite but just slight nausea. I am in a better mood and seem to be able to let things that used to bother me just slide by. I do not feel like a zombie at all. I smile more and cry less. That's exactly what I was hoping for. I am a 45 year old woman."


"I am taking 500mg 3 times a day for 7 days. Side effects started day 1 with extreme nauseous. By day 2 I couldn't keep any food down, was constantly nauseous and had a major headache. Today is day 3 and I've barely been able to walk around I feel so weak, and the nausea is even worse. Fingers crossed day 4-7 will have better results."


"I want to sit on a tub of ice. I'm on day 3 of seven. I'm trembling.  I'm tingling and afraid to breath. All I did was take some antibiotics. This is barbaric."


"My menstrual cycle also returned after just one month on Parlodel, however the side effects of migraines, dizziness, shifts between drowsiness and over-alertness were problematic.  When my vision became distorted, unfortunately, I had to stop the medication. "


"Hey everyone, I promised if this worked for me I would write a review to ease anyone's mind who I'm sure is thinking the same anxious thoughts I was. I took this pill 48 hours after unprotected sex right in the middle of my fertile window. I ovulated that Sunday just like I was supposed to so I was worried that it didn't work for me in its attempt to delay ovulation. I have used this drug before and I can say it mimics all of those early pregnancy symptoms without a doubt. But do not fear. The pill works a huge percentage of the time and in other ways if ovulation does already occur. But, do not stress because that can delay your period as well. Good luck :)"


"Lo-Seasonique is a good birth control, and awesome to not have a period for 3 months. I had stopped taking birth control for a year because of migraines, they improved and then worsened again. MD put me on Lo-Seasonique. Initially I had breakthrough bleeding, had never had problems before. I read up on it, and to all of you that have problems, change the time you are taking the pill and take it with/after food and/or something acidic (orange juice). The reason for a lot of breakthrough is high estrogen not being absorbed. Otherwise I have had minor cramping periodically if I miss ONE pill. I do notice a drop in sex drive, and just heavy feeling. But minor changes. Otherwise now almost a year on it, it's awesome."


"Literally does nothing when you take them. Told my cousin about being prescribed a pill for cough that does not help and she said "are they the pearls" LOL why yes they are."


"I used Seasonale for about a year and a half. It worked very well. No spotting and it was nice to not have a period for three months at a time. Unfortunately it has to be taken at the same time everyday which is a pain for someone as absent minded as me. I handled this by setting the alarm on my cellphone to go off at the same time everyday. It was kinda bulky in my purse since it has three months worth of pills. My periods were about the same as before."


"I took Jolessa for a year. Everything was fine and I loved not having my period every month.  After a while it did make me gain 5-10 lbs and I had acne towards the end of the year. I had to change to a different birth control. I hate that I had to leave Jolessa behind but I can't stand the acne or the weight, even if it was moderate.  Just try it for yourself, 4 periods a year is very nice."


"I have had epilepsy for 14 years now and during the first 9 years I took Carbatrol. At first it was great seizure free then the side effects kicked in. I was depressed and had anxiety, my emotional state changed. I felt nausea, dizzy, and sometimes uncomfortable in my body. I switched to
Keppra and I'm happy. I'm normal moods and so far no side effects in Keppra."


"Helps more than other medicines that I've tried. It does help, but with everything going on, there's really not much that I've found to take away all of the pain, but at least I can be functional in addition with using the Fentynal transdermal patch."


"I suffered a 3year battle with BV. I tried several prescription medications (numerous antibiotics oral & vaginal suppositories) Whatever doctors said I did with no success. After lots of research I came upon acidophilus and it's amazing curing benefits.The chronic BV went away and stayed away. I just purchased over the counter store brand acidophilus tablets. Nothing fancy or prescribed. I inserted 2 acidophilus tablet pills vaginally for 3 days then 1 tablet for 4 more days and had immediate relief and results. After the 1st week was completed vaginally I then started taking one pill daily orally to maintain a healthy PH. I would highly recommend this to any woman suffering with BV."


"Started September 2014, no issues at insertion. I spotted some then Ive had No periods/cramps/crazy symptoms since. No weight gain issyes, no mood swings or none of that.  Almost 2 years in, I am having my first spotting session, its very light and I believe it will pass. I think this was my best choice since it has worked for my body. I will go in to have it replaced next year! Good luck."


"I have only been on Epitol for a few days but so far so good. Starting on 300mg twice a day. I have clear thoughts, no wants to destroy people who do simple stupid things, no impulsive decisions, nerve pain is controlled and overall I just feel good. I'm also on Celexa, hoping this combination will do me justice."

"Fantastic, the mentholated one is great & really soothes painful inflammation soreness which accompany COPD flareups. When having worsening asthma attacks I use it to ward off serious complications including pneumonia. I take two inhalations of my fast acting then two hits of the Aerobid-M every 8 -10 hrs & is nearly always effective although can take as long as a week for severe inflammations to subside. But it is costly."


"I was prescribed Bactrim DS for a severe UTI and 7 day twice a day schedule. On the second day of dosage, I began having Flu-like symptoms such as dizzy spells, nausea, aches, weakness, and I felt so sick, I thought I was going to die. I felt worse each day and by the 6th day of dosage, I had to return to my doctor. He said I must have had a severe allergy to this medicine. He gave me a shot of antibiotics and prescription of 500 MG Amoxicillin. I am finally feeling better. The Bactrim did not work on me. They put a note in my chart to not prescribe Bactrim to me again. I think that some people have allergies to this, I know I do. Hope my story helps you."


"I took this drug for three months (one injection per month) following a laparoscopy to remove scars and endiometrosis. I read about the reviews (gaining weight ,etc) and was really nervous but I just wanted to tell everyone taking this treatment to not worry about the side effects. The only side effect I had was a heavy period at first (nothing scary) and then I had hot flashes and some night sweats but nothing unbearable. Get a small pijama (shorts and tank top) to avoid feeling so hot at night. Emotionally I was ok and lost weight !!! I actually gained 4 pounds after the treatment when my ovaries reactivated. During this treatment I exercised a lot, ate well and tried to stay relaxed.

Please do not be scared of using this medication..."


"I've been taking Generess Fe for a few months now and I haven't had any side effects! It's been working pretty good because my periods are lighter than before and last about 3 days. The only thing I've noticed is that I have cramps now before my period which I didn't have before. After hearing all these scary comments about Generess I was scared to even give it a try, but I'm glad I did because it's been working! Also, If you don't have insurance this medicine is pretty expensive so I'd check into that if not."


"Frustrating. Been on this pill for about 1.5 months and I've been trying to convince myself that I'm not getting any side effects. I use to be on it back when I was 16 and I was ok, not this time. After reading some of these review I think I can finally talk to the doctor and feel like I'm not crazy. I've been a RAGING COW. With my 4 yr old, With my boyfriend, with LIFE. Very, very much sleepy and sad! Want to just cry... have NO DESIRE to do ANYTHING.  This pill is awful... didn't really want to admit or come to the realization that a little pill can have so much impact on your emotional state. Wow. Thank you, I feel convince now that I'm not crazy and have legitimate reasons to want to get off it."


"I have had RLS for perhaps 35 years or so.  It would start and stop.  But about 5 years ago I started on .25 mg of roprinole.  it takes an hour to work so I took it at about 8 PM.   But over the years the dosage crept up to .50 mg once at 4:30 PM and once at 6:30 PM and I was good for the night.  Some nausea and some sleepiness which were OKay.   then the two pills turned into an additional pill of .5 mg in the middle of the night.   Still okay.   But then about 6 months ago my doctor sent me to an RLS sleep specialist.   What a nightmare this began.    The specialist tells me that I will just continue to take more and more and eventually Augmentation would start.   this site will not let me finish my story."


"The medication did work at first to stop binges. At 30mg, the starting dosage, it did not do anything. A week later at 50mg, I had very little of an appetite for three days. After five days at 50mg. I was binge free, but the binges started on the sixth day and continued until my doctor increase to 70mg. I was binge free about five to six days at 70mg., but then they started again and have continued. So, it is not working for me to stop the binges. However, I do feel overall more energetic and alert. It fails to address my main concern, the binges."


"Have been taking this off and on for about 3 months. While it definitely causes bowel movements, the side effects are difficult to manage for a busy, working mom. The gas it creates is horrible (for me and those around me) and the spontaneous bouts of diarrhea make me nervous to take it in the morning. I'm taking one pill every night and one in the morning on weekends. I have had great success with Miralax in my morning coffee but when I have to sit a lot for work or travel, it's just not enough, so I tried Linzess."


"This is the worst! I had my baby girl in March 2016, I decided I dont want to get pregnant soon, having 2 kids now, for now my baby days are over.my age of 23 I can't get "fixed", so since I got pregnant with #2 from the pill I decided to go for it and give the depo shot a chance, well, it was the WORST decision I could have ever made, hell I'd rather become pregnant again then keep going with these side effects of being constantly mad and angry, always yelling at my 3 year old and my other half, (my baby girl is always smiles so I never get frustrated over crying or fussy ness, she doesn't cry lol).

Keep in mind, I had my LO in march 2016, it's all most Oct 2016 and I'm STILL on my period, EVERYDAY!

Will not be going back for my next shot"


"I started Saxenda on March 3, 2017 starting weight 214 lbs. at .6 mg on March 10, 2017 I increased my dosage to 1.2 mg. and noticed some side effects abdominal pain, burping, constipation, decreased appetite and tiredness.  When I woke up today I felt sick on my stomach and vomit for the first time, one the side effects decreased I started feeling better, but notice my appetite is very low. I can barely eat any foods. I have lost more then 8 lbs with in 2 weeks. I contacted my doctor who recommended that I don't increase my dosage, and I am under care with an nutritionist who has me on low carbohydrate diet of 135 carbs, per day. I am happy that this drug is working, but has some concerns feeling tired."


"Took Apri for 2 months, did NOT bleed for about 11 days the first month, and 8 the 2nd month. Am switching to yet another birth control."


"I am a 51 yr old white female with progressive essential tremors noticeable since about 18 yrs, (neck, head, hand tremors).  At 38 yrs old, I began taking propranolol which helped some but the amount needed to really control the tremor made me too tired to function.  I began gabapentin about 5 years ago and it nearly eliminates my tremor with only low doses."


"I took Protonix 40mg for about two and a half weeks. My doctor prescribed this after my insurance no longer covered my Nexium that I had been on for years.  I had intermittent headaches and also had stomach pains and nausea. The nausea is horrible, and I have been off of it for a day now and nausea is still persisting. I feel like I have to vomit from the nausea. I do not recommend this drug. I had no side effects with my Nexium,  so now I will try omeprazole."


"So far so good using Dr samples"


"Was on it for over a month. Made me extremely sad, much more than usual and caused some constant, very scary suicidal ideation. When I went off it I felt better, (as better as I can be), immediately."


"I started polacrilex gum at 2mg strength to try to quit. Bought it from the supermarket. I used two pieces in one day. The suggestion to "use at least 9 pieces per day" on the instructions seemed a bit excessive for a casual smoker like myself. I experienced a sore throat by the end of my workday at 5, and by night it was worse. It has been bothering me for two days. I think the medicine (or something else in it) just really irritated my throat, but if it persists, I'm going to see a doctor. Probably wouldn't happen to everyone, but perhaps something to consider before buying!"


"I've been on it for 3 months. The first month I felt normal and happy but since then I feel very hungry. I just Want sugar, sugar sugar!  I've gained weight. I'm not having mood swings anymore and little situations don't bother and upset me anymore. I do feel like I lost that dream inside of me though, like I gave up on my goals and I am settling for what I am instead of moving ahead and making my dreams come true."


"I got this medicine prescribed after I threw out a muscle in my shoulder it did help relax my muscles it seemed never did make me tired I've just been sticking with ibuprofen 800mg."


"I've had severe cluster headaches with occasional dreadful migraines since I was in my 20s -- 50 years ago. It was very difficult to get approval for this medication, and I was always trying to juggle it with aspirin and stretch it out.  Seems like the situation here, at least, has greatly improved and my current primary dr. prescribes it for me.  I only take fiorinal when I feel a bad headache coming on, and it works.  (It does occasionally put me to sleep for about 15 minutes.)  The variety with codeine is too strong for me.  I can't take triptans because of cardiovascular issues.  I can't emphasize strongly enough how beneficial this medication has been in my life.  Moreover, aspirin never helped my headaches."


"I was on Yaz for about 2 years. I started it after I had my son. It was wonderful for a while, but recently I started getting anxiety attacks. It was horrible. My doctor put me on Paxil for the anxiety. I realized that while I was taking both medicines, I felt extremely depressed. I wasn't sure if it was the Paxil or the Yaz, but I was late starting my new pack this last month, and I noticed I felt amazing. So I decided that it was the Yaz interacting with the Paxil. I made the decision to stop Yaz and continue with Paxil because as anyone with anxiety attacks knows, they are unbearable. I would still recommend Yaz, as long as you aren't taking anything else that would affect your mood/hormones."


"Actually it slows it down.  But after a year on it I was in the ER 3 times with pain in upper GI tract.  I guess my liver didn't like it and I got drug induced hepatitis.   Quit taking it slowed down on sodium intake.  Processed foods.  Watch diet.  Thats it."


"The first day I took this antibiotic I had no bad symptoms. The second day I took it in the morning and felt nauseous but was able to relieve the nausea. At night I took it before bed and woke up at 4am feeling very nauseous. I eventually threw up at 8 am. It is now noon and my stomach still feels very upset. I would not recommend."


"I haven't taken any birth control at all for almost two years since having my baby and I was prescribed Trinessa 3 months ago by my midwife. Periods are short and it has cleared up my skin so much which is awesome, however the bloating is terrible. I have always been a thin person and have never had any weight issues but my stomach is so fat and bloated it looks like I'm 2-3 months pregnant. Decreased libido is the other negative side effect that I am experiencing as well."


"I want to share my experience to possibly ease some of the ladies out there.
The incident occur in Nov 18 (the condom broke) and it was 4 days after my period ended and approximately 4 days before ovulation. This means I was fertile.
when we noticed that the condom broke, we immediately bought Plan B One Step and was taken about 45 minutes or an hour later.
The sooner you take the greater the chances it will work.
So I waited anxiously, praying I get my period. I felt side effects such as fatigue, bloated, nauseous, cramps, and moody. I was that these might be  this pregnancy symptoms.
I waited exactly two weeks and I got my period. I was the happiest person ever. My period was here early by approximately 3-4 days. Good luck."


"I got nexplanon inserted in September 2015 and loved it the first few months. My period lightened and it worked well as birth control (I haven't gotten pregnant). I noticed some weight gain and mood swings but I thought it was worth it for not getting pregnant. But in March 2016 I started having a constant, light period. I have now ended up having to have the nuvaring to help with the bleeding and I'll be getting the nexplanon taken out soon."


"Still cannot get rid of this acne.

I took this for a month and my face went from having 2 pimples to a full blown breakout. Acne everywhere. Ruined my skin. I heard it gets worse before it gets better but my skin was already great so this did nothing but ruin it. Now I've been off it for almost a month and my face is slowly healing but these scars are everywhere :(. Don't take this birth control."


"I thought this would be a great option. Well I was definitely wrong. I was on the patch when my parents found out I was on birth control, subsequently they took the rest away. I went to my school clinic and received the shot the same day for free. I did not have to worry about prescriptions or about hiding my patches anymore which was great and all. Until the first week in I felt fine then something just dramatically changed with me. I had no sex drive, pain during intercourse, 10 pounds of weight gain for the first two months and 5 for the third month, and spotting daily. I also had terrible mood swings and migraines. I felt depressed from the weight gain, I wasn't me anymore."


"I have been on Wellbutrin for about four months. I can definitely say that it works very well. My symptoms before taking it were: mood swings, constant fatigue, irritable, very low to nonexistent sex drive & not able to finish anything I started. My first two weeks on Wellbutrin I had a rough go with side effects. Side effects were: couldn't sleep. Heavy/tight chest which resulted in a panic attack. Itchy palms & feet. I wanted so bad to stop taking it but Very glad I didn't. I feel great now and have lost 15lbs. The Sex drive has come back full force. Advice: take benadryl those first few weeks to help you sleep. Best choice I have made was asking my doctor for help."


"All of these negative responses were the complete opposite of my experience! Monistat 1 was EXTREMELY affective and cured my infection pretty much overnight. No tenderness. No burning. No itching. My yeast infection was a little more on the extreme side but nonetheless it's pretty much gone now. 100% reccomend!"


"This is my second brand I've tried using this form of birth control. Ever since a month or two after I began this, I've severely been breaking out all over my face especially on the jaw line, the chin and forehead. I have struggled with mild acne before this just a few spots here and there, but it has caused me to break out everywhere now and it is extremely bad. I have tried countless things to try and help this from everything over the counter and even prescriptions, topical and oral. I have tried EVERYTHING and it will not go away. It has lengthened my periods from three days to now six and made then heavier and I never use to have cramps now I do. I've experienced fatigue and depression from this. Too many negative side effects for me."


"I have been using tambocor for Atrial Fibrillation for about 5 years now and it has been a very effective drug for me. Since being on 200mgs I haven't had an attack for a year."


"Lexapro is a life saver. I have been on it for about a week and a half now and I am already seeing a dramatic improvement. My panic attacks, anxiety and depression are gone. FINALLY, my mood is more stable now and I'm beginning to be able to think positive about the future. I'm glad I will be around to see another day."


"Had an allergic reation about three weeks into treatment.  Broke out in hives.  Was taking it for Systemic Lupus."


"I got the Nexplanon injected in March 2015, up until 2 weeks ago I was loving it! Ok I got the Depo Shot for 16 years and it was great. But my Obgyn made me stop getting it because of my bone density. In those 16 years I only had maybe 2 or 3 periods and I loved it! Ok now with the Nexplanon I noticed at first I had no spotting or period up to these past 2 weeks and sometimes I bleed lightly or just spot so I'm finding myself having to use tampons, something I was not used to. But when I first noticed some spotting about a month ago, my obgyn gave me some birth control pills and it stopped then, but here I am now worse and I really don't know what to do because the pills won't stop it now. "


"I first tried Lo loestrin Fe and it made me feel crazy. I switched to a triphasic birth controls and tried trinessa and tri-sprintec but had an even worse experience. I was unbelievably nauseous when I first started and threw up several times. Every first week of each month I was dizzy and felt like I was in a fog and the rest of the weeks I was so nauseous that I couldn't eat, go to the gym, or do anything. I switched to minastrin and it was such a life saver. I didn't experience any nausea at all, I never felt dizzy, and I felt very emotionally stable. The only downside of this birth control is that I bled for 2 weeks if I took the pill 30 min late & I started getting ridiculously hungry after a few months and was gaining weight"


"I had to post a review of the Mirena after reading so many negative comments.  I had no problems.  No weight gain, no terrible skin conditions, no pain and no menstruation for five years!  I loved it.  Once inserted, I never had a thought about birth control.  It was so easy.  I have recommended it to several friends who have also had no problems.  Please do not be steered away from this product so quickly.  Speak with your physician.  I hope you have as good an experience as I did."


"I had to take Imodium daily in order to fend off diarrhea and the constant bathroom breaks.  It has impacted every aspect of my life.  I was afraid to eat when a bathroom wasn't readily available.  As I grew older the condition became worse.  I would eat and have to go immediately.  A normal day out with the wife and kids stopping for lunch would create a great deal of anxiety.  Should I eat, can I eat and would I make it to a bathroom on time. My working career took into account how accessible bathroom facilities were. Vibrenzi worked to end diarrhea and has limited my bathroom calls. However,  I get extremely
tired 15 minutes after taking the dosage and remain so all day.  Dry mouth and gas are also a problem. Price cost is $18 a pill."

"This stuff is the silver bullet of fixing pink eye.  For some reason, I get pink eye about 3-4 times a year. Yeah I work outside in dust.  Anyway, I have carried Blephamide with me for at least 10 years and it saves me every time.  Only one or two drops a couple times a day for 1 or 2 days and I am fixed.  The pain and itching go away within 10 minutes after using Blephamide.  "


"I had mild acne and then took this because my doctor said accutane was too bad for me.

After about 2 weeks my face was beat red and burned like crazy then I broke out like ten times worse than before and my whole face was covered and it was horrible. I stuck with it for like 2 more weeks and it just got worse.

I switched to accutane and I'm 3 months in and my face is doing really well. I recommend accutane, I don't feel depressed and the only side effect I've gotten is dry lips."


"Drug did nothing to help me sleep. I got headaches and also my depression and anxiety worsened. No thanks. Back to ambien."


"I'm 23 years old and completly normal I suffer from anxiety which started making me feel very down in the dumps ( depressed). I started on 10mg 2 months ago and now feel great a lot more calm and back to my out going self. I suffered from some of the side effects for the first month such as insomnia and dizzyness and my symptoms did worsen at first but stick with it it does calm down in the end"


"I had tried numerous birth control methods due to me having ovarian cysts. Implanon is the best yet. While the Depo gave me very painful cramps and painful bleeding and the ring and pills made me severely sick. Arm was sore for a few days and slight bruising but overall I'm feeling great not sick. No cravings and no weight gain."


"This was my third yeast infection this year. The first time I took monistat but it was the 3 day. This time I decided I wanted to heal faster. After taking it, two hours later it was way worse, but I waited to see if it'll get better. It did feel a lot better the next morning. So if you can handle the burning and itching for a couple hours. I would recommend this. If not then I would just recommend the 7 day or 3 day"


"The Doctor said it would take 10 days to 2 weeks to kick in, but at day 8 I noticed a real difference. I was on Wellbutrin for several years, and took myself off 2 years ago. But as life happens I need a happy pill again. I was having SEVERE panic attacks, which I had never had before. So glad to have my Doctor prescribe CELEXA, it's so awesome to feel normal again. The only real side effect was yawning for a few weeks. No sexual side effects at all, it's better, because I feel better. So if you are questioning it DON'T for the sake of you and your loved. Try it."


"Been on Yasmin for 6 months now after years on all other brands under the sun. I have always been fit and healthy but for some reason on this pill and I even thinner. I can't gain weight no matter how bad I eat it's amazing ! The only down side is I am so hungry a lot of the time but it's awesome because it doesn't lead to any weight gain so I can eat as much as I want !
Also no cramps at all and I used to get them bad. Limited headaches. Finally after 12 years if found something that works super well for me"


"My doctor let me choose which medicine I wanted to be on.  After many hours of research I chose Copaxone. I absolutely love it. I self inject. I do not use the auto-inject. Less pain that way. I love it so much. Very easy to do - the only area I can't reach is behind the arms and my kids do those ones.  Only site reactions.  I feel great and look forward to many flare-free years."


"I was using Levimir for the past 7-8 years.  A new endocrinologist suggested Lantus for evening/bedtime use and it was an immediate success."


"During the first week of taking Chantix, I smoked.  I did not notice any decrease in my desire to smoke but noticed a significant increase in my tiredness.  The beginning of the second week of Chantix, I quit smoking all together.  The tiredness was still there and after taking the pill I would have nausea for a short time.  It didn't matter if I had just eaten or not.  I also became moody, depressed, short-tempered and just generally felt down.  I stopped taking the pill today, which has been 2 1/2 weeks on the pill.  I'm hoping for no worsening of my mood and energy level."


"I have partial complex seizures and Vimpat has helped me not to go totally unconscious. I still have the auras, but don't have the "full blow" seizures where I do not remember anything.  Weird thing is that I don't have the strong "full blown" seizures, but I have more frequent aura's.  Don't know which is worse.  It is safer for me not to have the actual seizure, but having more aura's during the day is scary too.  Also, it seems like my memory is getting worse and I can't think of what it is I want to say.  My mind goes blank on me especially when trying to think of the word I am wanting to say.  My hair has dried out and have lost a lot of it too.  Not sure if Vimpat is worth all this or not!"


"It may be to early for me to review this since I've only been on it for a month, but I thought I'd share my beginning side effects for the people who are curious. So far I haven't gained weight, or  had hair loss, spotting, or any of that. I have had some headaches here and there, as well as nausea which when I chew some gum it goes away in no time, and also some moodiness not a big deal though. By what I've gone through from the start of it, I would say I definitely love this medicine. Absolutely recommend it to others."


"Been on depo shot for 5yrs,decided it was time to switch being that I would be moving out of state for a year and didn want to change insurance nor Dr while I was gone. Although I read negative things about the nexplanon I got it bc "different strokes for different fowks" and bc the Dr said its the same medication as depo.have had it now for 11 days and my arm is still sore.first night was so painful I called the office at 3am lol I was told I must have a low tolerance for pain an to rest it & take pain meds. I must admit getting it wasn't really bad at all and although some days are worse than others (depending on my activities and use of my arm) there is no pain until I use it ALOT....than I pay for it at night.so far so good overall"


"Have had intractable insomnia since having neurological Lyme disease. The infection is under control but left me with issues with cortisol levels & neurotransmitters.

Benzodiazepines worked great, but MD's became concerned since I'm in my 60's and elderly people are at higher risk of side effects. Weaned off benzo's & tried Belsomra.

1st try, got the full body paralysis mentioned by others. Plus hellish, horrible waking nightmares. Felt like I'd gone insane. Demonic, yes.

The labeling states if you take it & get mental disturbance, Belsomra has problem of triggered pre-existing, underlying mental illness.

Poppycock. This drug is frightening. IMHO it's useless, overpriced, and dangerous.

The 2nd time no sleep, nothing, zip, nada. DONE WITH IT."


"Constipation, dizziness, hallucinations while sleeping."


"I've been using this product for around 3 years now and I definitely would recommend. I had no bad side effects no weight gain nothing. I have more regular less painful periods and don't have to worry about pregnancy."


"I am on day 2 of Antibiotics. I took the Z pack only one dose and had horrible reaction to it. (Swelling of face, fever, diarrhea YOU NAME IT) Stopped taking it and two days later started Augmentin.  I have been taking Culturelle (Lactobacillus GG) Two hours before or after taking the antibiotics. Seems to be helping. No diarrhea. No gas. No hives/Itchy skin.
But I don't know if its long enough to tell.
 ***Take those pro-biotics. *** Dairy products are putting me over the edge. Stick to non dairy while taking this."


"I had paragard first inserted in my late 20's after having my son (10 years ago-2007) I went and had it removed recently and had another one inserted (2017) since it's a very effective birth control. The first time it didn't hurt much. This time though, the cramping and back ache is excruciating. It hurt a little when inserted but the pain and cramping started slowly and now it's a 13 on a scale of 1-10. It's not steady cramping and pain. It comes and goes. It's been 5 days since the insertion and my pain is still very bad. Overall, aside from this pain since the insertion, it makes my periods heavier & longer (9 days). I do get discharge in between my periods sometimes which is not big deal. Better dealing with that than having a 4th kid."


"Up until 6/20/10 I had slammed 12 beers a night for the past 20 years, and never managed to abstain for more than about a week during that time.  I've been on Campral for three months now, and mostly AF.  It works if you let it. If you drink over it, it will stop working and the next few days you will crave.  But that said, better a 5-day relapse than a 15-year relapse - and I think Campral has helped make that possible.  It's not a magic bullet.  It does, however, silence the hampster cage a little bit."


"I was given 100 mg a day to treat migraines. I ended up not having migraines but chronic tension headaches which it did not help BUT it helped my anxiety. I was having daily panic attacks and slowly, they were reduced. I gained 20 pounds in a few months and decided to stop taking it a month ago, feeling fine. This week the anixety has started coming back-dizziness, short of breath, panicky, etc. so I started back on 25mg. Other than the weight gain the other side effect was dry mouth so the trade of of being able tot live a normal life was worth it."


"After decades of debilitating anxiety, a psychiatrist put me on Klonopin. I have now been on this medication for about 15 years, and my anxiety rarely affects me anymore.  Unlike other anxiety meds, I have not had to increase my dosage, and have absolutely no side effects. This medicine has been a life saver for me."


"I was diagnosed with under active thyroid was given sertraline felt lethargic sleepy moody. Seen another doctor who added Liothyronine I'm no longer lethargic I cant thank my doctor enough I'm getting back to my old self."


"It helped clear my acne completely!  Recommend it to anyone with acne,"


"I am 40 years old and have been struggling with adult acne for ten years now.  My face has always been oily and topical creams/antibiotics have only been temporary fixes. My dermatologist and I decided to finally give Isotretinoin a try. I started taking Amnesteen in September 2013. The first three months I had moderate breakouts as expected.  But in December and so far this month I've not had any acne, with the exception of a small bump I noticed today. I just had my last appointment with my dermatologist yesterday where he gave me my last prescription.  The only side effects have been dry eyes, skin and lips but not severe at all.  Aquaphor for the lips and Cerave for my face have been awesome. So far, very happy with the results."


"Never had it, but need it."


"I have horrible hormonal acne and Bactrim has been the only systemic drug that has helped. Problem is I took it for years, randomly when needed.  After years of usage, oddly I became allergic to it.  I broke out in large red spots that were extremely sensitive.  It's a serious allergy. I have permanent dark bruises all over my body and it has been years since I've used it.  If you haven't tried Bactrim.  Try it. It will work for you."


"I have used hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg for about 2 months now. It has significantly lowered my blood pressure but I have noticed the arches in my feet hurt and some leg pain and dry mouth, I also feel I don't have the same ambition. I do not urinate any more frequent then usual. I do think it has effected my sex life though as in lowing my sex drive. I take this along with a beta blocker called propranolol 20mg. I will have to get my potassium checked to see how it is doing though."


"This is the hardest drug therapy I've ever been on in my life but the results are a effective and fast. Please complete the entire therapy for amazing recovery results for Hepatitus C."


"A specialist "messed" with my blood pressure by changing off the Lisinopril.  It took months to get it stabilized again, with a whole battery of dosage alterations.  Finally had to stop taking the lisinopril because I developed a horrible cough.  He put me on Tekturna, with Clonidine at night, and my pressure has stabilized, finally.  The cough is gone, and I really appreciate the Tekturna.  I can't take Beta Blockers or Calcium Channel blockers, so the Tekturna was a God send."


"Twelve year old child took 20mg/once day and felt nauseated, dizzy, with headache, sun sensitivity, and restless.  Took for one month.  Experience rebound when withdrawn.  Went to half dose for once week before completely discontinuing."


"I've taken klonopin off and on for many years and I have to say it is very effective and much longer lasting than xanax. I've been prescribed xanax as well and it is effective, but I truly believe it shouldn't be taken on a regular basis, especially several times a day. It's fast acting and it helps with panic attacks and similar situations. But to take it day in and day out seems ludicrous. Klonopin has a much longer half life and I don't feel withdrawal when I come off klonopin, that's not the case with Xanax. Not only that, on Xanax I was finding that I would have periods of forgetfulness, meaning periods of the day. I was at a job interview and I really couldn't tell you what was said by me or the interviewer. I did get the job however."


"This is a update ..my first period since being on this form of birth control began last week around November 30, lasted for about 7 days then stopped. Everything is still going well with no side effects at all. I will continue to update monthly."


"I tried everything.  Nothing would work.  My doctor recommended Duavee and in 30 days the hot flashes were gone.  I averaged 2 hours of interrupted sleep a night.  Now sleeping 5-6.  Would highly recommend this medication"


"I started taking this birth control a little over two years ago based on the fact that I was moving in with my boyfriend and figured it was the smart thing to do. Now after a recent break up I'm starting to question if it's really worth it. I've always had irregular, lengthy, very painful periods and this pill drastically shortened my periods and regulated them my cramps have gotten worse if anything. My skin is clear but I had taken accutane at 17 so I should probably be thanking that hell of a pill for that. Those are probably my only pros. Cons include: weight gain, constant bloating, hair loss, migraines, breast sagging, zero sex drive, no energy, down mood. I think writing this answered my question, I'm stopping at the end of the month"


"HELLLL NOOOO. You thought your YI was bad go ahead and put that Monistat in you if you bad. It's 12:05 am I put that ball of pain in me about an hour ago and I've been crying for 30 minutes, called my mom to tell her I was dying and she needed to come take me to the hospital, and now after rinsing it all off I'm in bed with an ice pack with my lady parts a good 2 sizes too big and too red. Starting to think they're using this as a way of population control to kill off the weak."


"I have been taking Celexa for almost 3 years.  It helps generally with my mild depression.  I take 10mg and when I stop I feel low again and when I take more than 10mg I start to feel emotionally flat.  It does not have sexual side effects for me, when many other depression drugs do.  It helps a bit with obsessive thoughts and social anxiety.  Also I don't feel intellectually fuzzy with it like I have on other drugs.  I am looking for another antidepressant, however, because I don't feel very alive.  Also it upsets my stomach and depresses my appetite and I am already underweight.  Its been ok for me but not great.  Prozac was the best for my mood and obsessive thoughts, but I became anorgasmic which was so hard to deal with!"


"I first had the Implant inserted in June 2011, I absolutely loved it. I had no periods whatsoever, and I was always forgetting to take the pill this contraception method I originally couldn't speak highly enough of. I had it taken out and replaced slightly early as I was going travelling and it would have needed doing whilst I was away, again couldn't fault it,  perfect for travelling not having to worry about taking the pill. I am now entering my third year on my second implant and  I have been experiencing bleeding on and off, a mixture of heavy and light flow for anything from 2 days to 8 days stopping for anything up to 2 days to 6 days before it starts again for nearly 2 months now and it is killing me. I'm  hoping it will balance out!"


"This was not effective in reducing acid. Four days after stopping Nexium and starting Protonix the heartburn started and I had to take Gaviscon. I had a 3 month supply so I kept taking it and ended up with a swollen, painful esophagus and difficulty swallowing with vomiting. I stopped taking Nexium because my insurance no longer would cover it. "


"I have been smoking for 34 years. I found this drug extremely benefical. Side effect nausea. I reduced intake to 1 per day on maintenance program. I will be requesting another 8 week script from my physican. I have already endorsed this product to other smokers and have no hesitation to recommend this product in the future. Congratulations to everyone involved in developing this product."


"I waS diagnosed with acute hepatitis Jan 1, 2006 and was told I needed a liver transplant as soon as possible. Started Imuran shortly thereafter - no response - MELD climbed to 35. Went on Cellcept and liver enzymes, etc returned to normal range.  Now on Prednisone and Cellcept after a minor enzyme spike - enzymes now normal. I STILL HAVE MY OWN LIVER."


"I have very extreme rapid cycling bi-polar disorder, it had become much worse in the last 6 months and I had become extremely irritable. I had just about all of the side effects that came with this medicine but I knew it was helping me. I truly needed the treatment and for my children would see this through. After a month or two all of the horrible side effects were gone. This medicine was a miracle for me, saved me, and my marriage. It allowed me to step back and realize the problem in my life was me and I needed to change and this medication brought me back to my old self. I was in denial of how sick I had become until I took this medication and became normal again."


"I am nearly finishing my 2nd packet and it's made me skin flare up so badly, the worst I've seen it in over a year! I need advice, will this get better cos I've only just started it ?"


"I had the Nexplanon in for about 8 months and I wish I had never gotten it. I did avoid pregnancy, but the negative side affect of hair loss was too much. It never fell out in clumps, just excessive shedding. At first I didn't put the pieces together, but now, 7 months later, I wish I had taken action sooner. I have lost about half of my hair (that hurts to even type) but its true. www.bedsider.com even lists hair loss as one of the side effects, but I didn't know that until today, the day I got it removed. This product might not effect every one in the same way, but I am so, so upset with Nexplanon and myself for not being more proactive. Do tons of research before getting this implant. You will thank yourself."


"I am 73 and just found out  I have torn ligaments, tendonitis and arthritis in both wrists. For about a year now I have had stabbing pains in my wrists and hands. After taking three Arthrotec 50 my pain is gone. But, I also have a gastric problem with reflux and for the last two nights have had extreme bloating and reflux. I took the fifth tablet this evening. It is so bad tonight that I have to stay awake. I can not go to sleep, even while sitting up in a chair for fear of having the reflux again. I have had the reflux two times already tonight when I dosed off. So I am here now  typing this at 4:30 AM so I do not fall asleep again. The Arthrotec works, but I can not take any more of them."


"The first 2 weeks on Zoloft were like hell. I was drowsy, had nightmares and my stomach was a mess.
I've been taking 75mg for 3 month now and I feel like a new person . I'm mellow , easy to deal with and satisfied"


"While some give high ratings, I cannot. Within a week of starting it, it gave me what seemed like full-day long panic attacks and I wept for hours. I would later find out it was akathisia which wreaked havoc on my anxiety and paranoia. Not for me!"


"My first birth control was the patch which I liked, no side effects. It was a pain though cause it would always fall off, so I decided to get the shot. My first shot I got extremely emotional. But that didnt last long. Eventually my period went away and I didnt experience any side effects. I chose to get off of it because I wanted to have a baby and I got pregnant seriously like a couple weeks after I stopped it. While I was breastfeeding I got on the pill but switched back to the shot. I spotted and bled more when I got the shot after I had the baby but it wasnt to bad. It might have contributed to me gaining 5 or more lbs but im not to sure. Overall i love this birth control!"


"I took my first dose of bydureon last night. Today, I am in intense body wide pain, stomach cramping, diarrhea, headache and hives everywhere. My face, tongue and throat swelled. I just want to crawl in a hole and stay there. My doctor switched me to this because regular insulin burns on injection and worsens my neuropathy. I have tried all the pens and tablets on the market, but I react to them all. I can barely hold my head up as I write this."


"Sort of worked but I was sleeping all the time.  12 - 14 hours  per day and then could not move the rest of the day.  Had to stop after 10 days of being a zombie."


"Only saw results for the first couple of months."


"I have mine for about six months now. I am breastfeeding my eight month old baby and so far, no period yet. Or cramping or spotting.

The insertion was not painful, exactly like a pap smear but I do have 4  kids so that is expected with the uterus stretched out.

No pregnancy scares so far either.

So far, it is working exactly as it should. Birth control that works with minimal effort."


"When I was first diagnosed, I thought I was dying. I take this (200 mg) - 3 times a day with another medicine. I have been pain free for 7 months. I stay drowsy and stagger at times but I can deal with that as long as the medicines continue to help me."


"I have Fibro, Spinal Stenosis (severe) and Neuropathy, and occasional migraine headaches. I've been taking the Norco 7.5/325 for five years and it works, along with my 90mg of Cymbalta and 10mg Valium x2 a day.  I haven't had to ask for an increase in my meds ever. The pain is always there but manageable. I can grocery shop and do light housework daily. I can drive myself with no danger. I have taken myself off the Norco quite a few times. I might go five to seven days without it just to see if I'm addicted. I hurt a lot but even though I have a full bottle in the bathroom I'm able to resist taking them and not get sick."


"My 6 year old son is on the 1mg for his short attention issues. He does complain sometimes about the tummy ache but it goes away. I have seen a big difference in his school work and his able to stay focus.  How ever I have to try other meds because my insurance will not pay for the medication. they feel as  if its to expensive."


"I was put on Ambien because of my anxiety and depression, I wasn't able to sleep more than an hour or 2 a night. I took the Ambien 5mg for about a week and I had horrible indigestion the whole time and on top of that I still only slept 4-5 hours a night tops. And I have been off them for almost a week and I'm still having horrible stomach pains and possibly a swollen liver."


"It is very effective. Makes you go to sleep fast and feel relaxed the next morning."


"My pain Dr suggested Butrans. Butrans works for me. Takes my pain level down to 3 or 4 and that is manageable for me. The only problem I have with the patch is I am allergic to the adhesive. I have to use a spray steriod prior to placing the patch. So far it has worked. No itching or whelps. I have a hard time getting it approved through both my insurances. It takes a couple of days to finally getting it approved.  I rarely have to take my breakthrough pain meds and I like that."


"Okay so today is day 2 of Harvoni.. I'm working 3 part time jobs ...so far just a few spots of speediness.. little lack of appetite .. stomach bloated and some brain fog.. I'm hoping that's all it's going to be..im hanging in there and will keep you posted.. I'm 50 years old I've had it for over 20 years and my viral load is 2 million... this is my first treatment ever but I'm hoping I'm one of the hundred percenters"


"Wellbutrin did nothing for me and Strattera caused erectile dysfunction and significant sleep disorders.  My doctor slowly increased my Adderall XR dosage until I hit the "sweet spot" which was 30mg for me.  40mg made me a little jittery and anxious.  In the correct dosage Adderall has improved my quality of life with no side effects.  I should note that if I miss a day I am fine but any longer without it and I become lethargic - so remember to refill your prescription as soon as you can so you don't run out.  I take the generic of this drug and it works great."


"1/3/16.  Was told had cancer bottom of kidney and it got large Dr. Said and is pressing into spine.  Was on voltrient about 2 1/2 months and scan showed tumor size had not changed. After taking voltrient about 5 months I got very sick and could not eat or drink about 10 days. Did lot of vomiting.  Stomach hurt for many days.  Need to ask Dr if I should get back on it (mass must shrink a lot Dr says before they would consider surgery). This has been very scary as mass pressing and causing tightness twisting of left leg but I'm doing lot of praying for self and all cancer patients. We desperately need cures. I get scans Jan 16. "


"OMG- the taste! I think if someone were to work on the formula and make it taste like, oh I don't know, maybe a pina coloda, that person would be rich.  But what can I say, hold your nose, drink it down and have a lemon wedge ready.

I drank my first cocktail at 6:00pm, after a liquid only diet all day.  It didn't take long to work and it wasn't bad at all. My colonoscopy was scheduled for 8:00 the following morning.  Went to bed around 10:00 & woke up at 3:00am to take the 2nd dose.  (Yuck).  I would have to say that the Suprep did what it was supposed to.

The procedure itself is a piece of cake. One minute I was looking at the colorful smock the nurse had on.  Then she was gone. And I was in a different room. All done!"


"Worked within 24 hrs"


"Initially it helped with anxiety and depression.  However, I started having manic episodes and rapid cycling while on it.  My psychiatrist said no more SSRIs for me, and they generally aren't recommended for Bipolar.  Now I wish I could have some of the anti-anxiety effects of Zoloft, but that benefit is not worth the risk.  Zoloft gave me slight sexual side effects, overeating, and minor headaches.  That being said, it is a miracle for some."


"Used at a funeral, supposed to take 0.5mgs, did not work at all.  Took another, and another, and another.  Maybe my doctor sucks, or maybe Ativan sucks.  Do yourself a favor and get some Xanax if needed for occasional anxiety."


"I take 5 mg daily in addition to 60 mg Cymbalta. Works for me, however I think it makes me crave sweets. I have gained about 10 pounds in the last 3 months. I guess it's just a matter of willpower to stop. As my psych said, "who's putting the food in your mouth, you ,right?""


"I've been on Tegretol for 4 days. It has taken me from excruciating pain to dull soreness. It's a wonder drug. I'm sleepy but almost pain free. I'm lucky that I was diagnosed after only six weeks. I'm praying it lasts!"


"I have been taking Toradol 0 to 3 times a week for about 16 months for traumatic brain injury."


"I've been taking 0.25 mcg Levothyroxine since, well, today, lol. So far I haven't had any side effects. I was diagnosed with a slightly underactive thyroid which explains my joint pain, depression,puffy face and hair loss. I'm hoping this helps me feel better."


"I've been on Zoloft for 2 weeks now, and already see a difference. I was prescribed this because of stress related anxiety. Over the past couple of weeks I was able to control my outbursts, which is huge for me. I don't know about not being able to sleep, I have been on OTC sleep medicines for quite some time now. The one thing I am noticing is a extreme thirst! It seems to be unquenchable. Overall A  ."


"I got the Mirena put in last month. And holy crap, it was painful. I've never had children, so my cervix was all "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" I was dizzy for a few minutes and went home with a heating pad and pain medicines. At first I was in love. There was some spotting, but nothing I couldn't deal with. Pantyliners are my best friends. Anyway...I'm a little frustrated right now because my period started four days early and will not go away. Just when I think I can put my regular tampons away, it starts up again. (I'm over it).

Right now I just want my body to stabilize and figure out what the heck it's doing but otherwise, I'm happy with this decision. My sister just got hers yesterday (has one kid) and is doing great."


"I was 1st prescribed Zoloft, which for me was absolutely perfect until none of my clothes fit about 3 months into it.  I gained 25 lbs and the weight gain brought new depression and anxiety.  I was put on Wellbutrin which was a "nice" drug if your depression isn't too severe and I lost weight on the it, but it couldn't hold a candle to my problems.  Then, I tried Pristiq (and I also use Valium and Ambien for any additional anxiety).  It's a happy medium between the 2 medicines.  You won't have the side effects of Zoloft (weight gain, loss of sexual interest), but you'll have a stronger backing against the physical and mental toll of depression and anxiety.  "


"I have been on Zoloft for years now and love it this medicine saved my life before I started taking Zoloft I was a mess!!! depressed and angry all the time I finally after several years decided I'd had enough I told my therapist I wanted an antidepressant I was going to call the doctor myself but she called the doctor. Honestly I remember a girl I met when I was in college who told me I needed help and to go home for the weekend however, I was reluctant to get help only because my parents felt that at the time antidepressants weren't that safe. I must say she was right I feel so much better not a lot of side effects sometimes I get diarrhea from it but mostly it works"


"I am suffering from AS (Ankylosing Spondylitis) for the last 25 years. My doctor (a rheumatologist) prescribed me Enbrel 50 mg weekly injection, which I continued for 1.6 years. The effect was great for the first 1-2 months but after that the effect of Enbrel plateaued. In spite of that I felt much better and started to lead a better life for the next 1 year or so. But the good news is that after a gap of one year (when I was without the injection) I found that my upper spine which was a bit bow shaped started becoming straight (not fully but to a great extent). That was really dramatic to say the least. I am grateful to this medication and will not mind taking it once again. One last thing, do not stop doing all the stretching exercises."


"Where has this stuff been? I have been suffering with irritable bowel disease since the beginning of June and was prescribed Bentyl. The first few days were four 10 mg pills a day and that sent me into orbit, but the spasms lessened. Then I was to go down to two a day and I managed to be awake here and there. Now I am on a daily dosage of one a day. The side effects are sleepiness and a little cognitive impairment, but the cramping has decreased by 97%. For me, this has been a total blessing. As I feel better I am thinking of switching to taking the one pill at night instead of the morning. But for now, I am changing nothing. I eat a very bland diet, but hey, it is being processed normally."


"Lowered blood pressure (pre-hypertensive) improved erection, ejaculation, no urinary urgency, went from urinating every 2 hours to 5-7 hours, can sleep at night without getting up first time in 2 years. No noticeable side effects (I am a retired registered nurse)."


"I was having nausea due to some of the meds I take for RA.  My doctor prescribe promethazine.  It really hasn't worked for me.  It may decrease the nausea a little but I still feel ill."


"It's only been a week, and so far I feel nothing except irritated underarms, I'm assuming due to the alcohol content.
I asked my doctor to check testosterone level during my latest physical due to aging, gaining weight, lack of sex drive and basically feeling blah. They were indeed low so she put me onto this."


"I changed over to the 10mg of this after my doctor recommended taking the BRCA testing which came back with a 41% mutation. I was on this pill for three months and got pregnant. I am now 3 1/2 months pregnant. I needed to go on a low estrogen birth control because I have three cases of breast cancer in my family and they all seem to be estrogen related. I don't know what happen, but the side affects were bad too and it didn't work. I would be careful on this, as I took mine like clockwork and I'm not overweight."


"I am going to agree with the last comment, however I find it hard to eat/keep on weight after major surgery & cancer- so the weight gain is GREAT for me, personally. I used to mainly use marijuana to help me eat (and to help calm me down), but smoking it is terrible for my lungs (I already have COPD from smoking marijuana for 15 years) This helps me get to sleep, seems to "even-out" my moods, but I can't take it during the day for anxiety because it messes me up too much. I use clonazepam (successfully) during the day, when needed. At first I didn't want to take seroquel, but it is definitely worth a try!! Better than every other "nightmarish" antidepressant I have ever tried!!"


"Was mildly effective for post-nasal drip. But will not take it again. CAUSES WEIGHT-GAIN!!!"


"I have been struggling with severe dandruff for a little over 2 years and I have tried everything. From head and shoulders to selsun blue to even going to the dermatologist for a long time. Nothing worked. I finally stopped going to the dermatologist because they didn't help me. I found reviews on nizoral and decided to try it. I've only used it twice now and it's already pretty much gone. Flaking is gone, itching is gone and I love it. I highly recommend it to anyone out there who is struggling with dandruff/scalp problems! It works miracles!"


"This product should be taken off the shelves before somebody has a heart attack from its side effects. I took one tablet and within about five hours had a BM normally.  A few minutes later I needed to go again. Then all of a sudden, I started sweating, and vomiting, and felt I was about to pass out on the bathroom floor.  I made it back to bed and was screaming in pain which went on for the next 20 minutes.

It finally calmed down enough for me to spend the next day in bed with a hot water bottle on my tummy. Today is Day 3 post Dulcolax Drama and I am left dizzy, nauseous and weak. If no better by Monday morning, I'm off to the doctor.  I feel terrible and will NEVER take this tablet again. If you suffer from IBS do not take!!"


"I have been on various medications for years, some have been Lortab, non-narcotic pain medications, Ms-contin, Oxycontin and fentanyl patches.  I was on 150 micrograms of fentanyl/48 hours before switching to Opana ER.  Initially I was taking 20mg of Opana 2x/day and it was not sufficient for my pain, but I couldn't handle the side-effects of the fentanyl patches (narcolepsy) so I worked with my doctor to increase my dosage and frequency so that I now take 30mg 2x/day and 20mg 1x/day.  It is expensive but I am finally able to live a near-normal life.  I play with my kids, I don't miss work, and I even keep the house up (with great help from my better half).  Opana ER has been great for pain relief with almost no side-effects!"


"I switched to Microgestin after I could no longer afford Lo Loestrin Fe. I didn't get my period or have any bad side effects while on Lo Loestrin Fe so I was worried that I would when I switched. Thankfully no side effects or period."


"I am an adult male who had tried almost everything THREE dermatologists.  Some antibiotics would work briefly, retin a pretty much burned my skin in a couple days and we had to stop, liquid nitrogen was sprayed on my face every few weeks.. you name it, they tried it.

Then,  my current derm (10 years now) put me on accutane when we first met. Three 20mg a day for 6 months. Yes, I had drying of my LIPS but no other major side effects and my acne stopped. Yes, we have had some flare ups and we use accutane briefly to stop them and they stay stopped for years. It is really the only medication that slams the door on my acne.. even if not forever."


"I was given 300mg of Gabapentin to take at night (I also take 400mg daily of Carbamezapine).

The Gaba is v. strong & knocks me out, but since it's @ night it's not so bad.

Completely by accident I discovered how depressed I was, because these pills are giving me a new lease of life. My negativity and suicidal tendencies have all gone pretty much. I'm more focused, happy & get on with things.

Side effects I get: tiredness, mild confusion/forgetfulness and a hand twitch that makes me almost drop things. P.S. I'm from UK so no insurance I pay scripts. yearly"


"Have had lifelong issues if Allergies and Sinus Congestion/Infections.  This is the first thing that has worked.  Only use the 12 hr formula taken early in the morning.  24 hr didn't allow me to sleep well.  Noticed a higher heart rate/jittery feelings for abt the first two weeks, then my body got use to it.  This med has improved my health and allowed me to stop taking multiple meds that could not provide the relief that taking one Claritin D has."


"I started on 100 mg and on day 2 was running to bath room with sudden urgency.  After 2 weeks I started experiencing pain in both armpits and upper arms, along with yeast infection.  Stopped and waited a week an retried taking. Same symptoms only worse. Not worth it to me."


"I was on Yaz for about a month and a half after switching from Ortho Tri Cyclen that I used for 7 years.  I switched because Ortho wasn't working for me anymore. I was nauseous and felt off balance.  I had no problems with acne nor weight gain.  While on Yaz for a short time, I had anxiety, depression, bloating, and weight gain. I had to stop mid-pack because I was an emotional wreck.  I'm on Aviane now for two months and experiencing horrible breakouts I never had before. I feel slightly off balance when I first start using active pills and during the first few inactive pills.  I'm still looking for what will work for me."


"This patch sucks! It's a complete waste of money. It doesn't do anything! Waste of money!"


"I have been on this pill for about a year now and in the beginning it made me super nauseous for the first week and then the first few months I was constantly hungry 24/7. Then I began to notice some odd side effects like randomly throwing up (in morning) when switching from sugar pills back to the birth control ones. I believe this pill has also given me a very weak stomach and I always feel sick after eating anything. Besides those side effects the pill has done the job for me and gave me bigger boobs so thx sprintec"

"This medication made me SO sick that I literally could not sit still. I felt better lying down but when I sat up, I had to rock because I felt so miserable. I don't even remember if it helped with the pain. If I could give it a 0 rating, I would. The concept is brilliant but it was not for me at all. I have taken Aleve (Naproxen) alone and as long as I eat enough when I take it, I'm fine. I have never taken Nexium (Esomeprazole). Maybe it was the Nexium that didn't agree with me or maybe I didn't eat enough before taking the medicine or maybe a combination of the 2. I took it when it was new on the market. I was sick for about 3 days after taking and stopping this medication."


"My teen is on first week of Abilify & Strattera will be added in another week for ADD. He had been on Focalin for ADD/ADHD which we thought worked the best of all. ADD meds we tried over many years BUT what we didn't realize is that Stimulant meds (like Focalin, Concerta) can cause paranoia/anxiety and agitation, which came out in him - making his Dr think he had a secondary more worrisome disorder. Every symptom went away after stopping the Stimulant med for 2 months. I hope Abilify works as a balance for the Strattera. His Dr said no more stimulant meds for him - although they work the best. "


"Dx with SLE at age 40, after years of searching for a reason why I was feeling so awful.  Treated with plaquenil and Arava  for years, with positive results.  But, recently started to have hearing issues and less relief then in the past with joint pain and stiffness.  So, my rheumatologist offered me Benlysta as an option....had first infusion on 6-22-17.  Felt tired after infusion, went right home had dinner and went to bed for around 8pm.  Woke up in the middle of the night with an awful migraine ( which last 3 days)....also felt just "run down ".  Having 2nd in fusion in another week...hoping for no headache this time."


"Prozac has literally saved my life not once but twice! The first was after the birth of my son I was on 20mg I was struggling with obsessive compulsive disorder, depression and severe anxiety. Prozac along with therapy made it able for me to live a normal life for almost 5 years. I just recently had a horrible bought with anxiety. I am finally coming out of that nightmare. I had a lot of life stressors that brought on the anxiety and caused the break, as much as I tried I couldn't come out of it so my Dr. increased my dose to 40mg. I have been on the 40mg for exactly a week today and I am so excited and cautious to say when I woke up this morning my heart wasn't beating out of my chest and I have been able to enjoy my day!"


"It is almost perfect for me except for the memory loss, swollen ankles, feet, legs, hands and face. It helps a.lot with my anxiety and brain fog. I almost "Feel normal" on it."


"I absolutely love Implanon. Not sure why there are so many negative reviews.  I have had NO bleeding since it was inserted. No weight gain, no acne and no mood swings or hormonal changes.  I used to be a hormonal mess with other birth controls at the time of my period, but now I'm calm and normal all the time. Also, no pregnancy scares!"


"Have stage 3 RSD. This medicine has helped manage my pain as well as can be expected without the side effects."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I've been on this for 1 yr and helps with my a-fib but now I am having pain in joints [shoulder]  and also  feel bloated, but all in all  works well"


"I have severe  constant pain all over from rheumatoid arthritis which has me so crippled in my back, hands, fingers, shoulders, hips, ankles and knees. I am unable to walk and use a walker.  I also have fibromyalgia which causes much pain and mental confusion  sometimes.  My Rheumatologist started me on 10 mg of Lexipro at first two years ago . I felt a bit drowsy for a couple of weeks until my body got used to the medicine.   About four months ago had a hip replacement  and a nightmare arthritis flare up.  The flare up has not subsided yet , so my doctor increased the Lexapro to 20mg each morning and 20 mg each night.  I take it about 8 pm  a little before bed time.
I haven't noticed any additional side effects .  This drug helps me."


"Painful Mortons Neuroma on left foot. Just started talking 25mg of Lyrica and within 48 hours I have noticed a severe decrease in the symptoms including the excruciating pain from simply walking. Very happy with decision to try this drug. No adverse reaction to date."


"Does somebody experiences itching? I feel awful after taking Spironolactone once a day. My period came after 2 weeks, my breast is sore and I cannot sleep."


"Please don't let anyone scare you into not taking this. If you're like me with new medicine, you go online and research every little side effect and review and convince yourself not to take it. I was really scared to take this as I had bad reactions to Macrobid and Ciprofloxacin, and after reading these reviews I just knew it was going to be the same way. I'm on day two, no side effects other than a little nausea and a headache. That's the worst of it. We'll see how it goes by day 7, but so far this has been the best antibiotic I've taken."


"I have been on Aviane for almost a month. Everything is normal, no weight gain. Some little mood swings here and there but nothing that I can't handle. My sex drive has increased a lot. I'm on my third pill on the fourth week but I haven't started my period not too sure when I will but other than that I'm happy with it, no complaints."


"I've been on MS Contin for about 18 years for mult.chronic pain conditions .I take it responsibly and I consider it a huge responsibility to protect my health and my doctor's licenses. I had an odd side effect w/in 24 hrs of 1st dose. it gave me energy! I have also taken the immediate release
.I don't find MSIR helpful(15 mg). also someone commented about a Avenza(sp?) ,the 24 hour rx..I was given rx several years ago (1 rx, one mo.cost approx.$1,200 ! I didn't find it
useful.Since'91been on patches
,other narcotics etc.. but MSContin has been miracle rx giving me some quality of life..Grateful for any relief.God bless all who deal wuth thos pain issue "


"USMC vet that was in the Persian Gulf, Nothing I have taken has stopped me from going to bathroom 6-7 times a day, plus I have had terrible stomach pains, Bad enough to send me to the Hospital. This was something I thought I was just going to have to live with. After 1 dose of Cholestyramine I noticed a huge change. I now have solid bowel movements, and only go 2-3 time in the morning.  This medicine has been a miracle for me.  No side effects and I have gone 4 weeks with no stomach pain. I take the medication once a day at 3:00PM."


"The only thing that works. Wish it was available when I was a younger when I suffered so much. This medicine is the best for migraines. Key is getting it before it progresses."


"Love it. Girls Implanon is amazing.
Positives:
1. no pill phone alarms any more.
2. no worry for three years.
3. no period for 7 month yaaaaaaaaay (I had it inserted in June 2010).
4. I got nothing of the side effects they are talking about.
5. no more hormones, no more crying or mood swings.

I only got low libido, which is fine for me.
When I got it inserted, didn't feel a thing. It was smooth and easy.

But few hours after that I got worried because I could feel it, even without touching my arm. It got sore, no one could touch me there(but it was not bad at all)!

Now after 7 months I don't feel it, it's not itching."


"This medicine leaves me feeling exceptionally dizzy and off balance. After seven months it is doing nothing to help me walk."


"I started the 15 day trial about a week and half ago and I have lost 5 pounds.  I was already taking a different prescribed medication and I lost 30 pounds.  I wanted to try this to see how it worked. I changed my eating habits drastically months ago and I ride a bike 4 days a week. My appetite doesn't seem any different with this pill and my energy is just like it was before hand.  But another 5 pounds off works for me."


"Had unprotected sex right in the middle of my cycle.  Took this roughly 24 hours after having sex.   I felt pretty emotional for a few days afterwards.  Not sure if that was from the pill or the situation I put myself in.   Anyway, for about a week and a half I felt nauseous, had cramps, was very tired and had headaches.   I also started spotting about 2 weeks after taking it.   I thought I was starting my period.  However my actual period was delayed a couple days.  Very happy this product exists!  I will not put myself in the situation to have to use it again, however."


"Long story: Of course I haven't had a colonoscopy in 4 years (but pushed for it) although this started started 6 months ago. Change in size of BMs, in the bathroom frequently, even though I've gone.I go between 4-8 x a day.  Sometimes it's like I'm on a bobsled moving side to side, back and forward trying to finish going. However not dry.So after an ER visit for abdominal pain on a scale of 1-10 it was 12! CT normal.  It finally started subsiding about 1/2 &r after 2nd shot of morphine. End up seeing useless PA yesterday who didn't want me to have the colonoscopy. He puts me on Linzess. OMG! I was working summer school and in the bathroom every 15 min all morning. A total of 14-15x!!! Why?  Am I on the wrong medication? Is it something else"


"I have gained 10 pounds. Doesn't affect my mood but does affect my sex drive a little. Went from a C cup to a double D. Sounds lovely but my breasts hurt most days out of the week. I eat way more then I used to. "


"This medication is a must have for all with severe GERD. I have had major problems with GERD for the past 20 years. After having my gallbladder removed proton pump inhibitors stopped working, this is very common after gallbladder surgery as the bile is now in the stomach instead of being stored in the gallbladder. Sucralfate 3x a day is working wonders. If it's helping me it should help most anyone"


"I started taking Victoza 3 weeks ago and feel much better.  The only side effect I have had is dry mouth.  I have lost 10 lbs and have about 35 more to go.  My blood sugars are around normal and I feel better"


"Had too many side effects!"


"Varying levels of depression since early 20's.  Anxiety also an issue.  2 bouts of major depression: one in late 40's and one in mid 50's.  No hospitalizations.  Now 63 yo.  Taking 200mg for 2yrs, -  minimal side effects, and very effective in mood regulation.  Never had a manic episode, but had been fairly quick to anger and somewhat argumentative.  I would have to say this medicine has helped a lot.  Some changes in my life circumstances may also be helping  (retired) --  but I have to give this medication an endorsement.  Worry a bit about taking it long-term -- but so far, no side effects."


"After a few days of use I came down with flu like symptoms; nausea, migraine, runny nose, fever, chills, body pains, blurred vision, diarrhea. I ended up having to take 2 days off from work to recover from this drug. I would highly recommend using caution when taking. Will not be continuing..."
