"I'm a Type 1 diabetic , I been on invokana for almost a year . Going back and forth taking the pill . It does work great keeping my sugars low , I have not seen weight changes and also every time I take the pill no matter how much water I drink I'm constantly getting yeast infections ! So I stop talking it after a few months decided previously to take it again after my doctor told me to go back . So I went back and now I have yet another Y.I. I guess I'm prone to them on this pill. I am done with this pill"


"I rarely leave reviews but felt compelled here. I was recently tasked with having to speak at my father's funeral. While otherwise successful and confident, I have always had major anxiety related to public speaking, especially with 400-500 people expected. I went online and found this site and read the reviews. I am skeptical w/ info on the internet but couldn't ignore the positive reviews. I called my doc and interestingly he told me he uses propranolol when he gives big presentations. He said it would help and boy did it. I was totally comfortable, did not get panicky feelings I would typically have, had clear mind, and delivered a great speech w/ confidence. Thank you to all of you who shared before me, it was a lifesaver. Took 20mg 90 min b4"


"I've had anxiety and panic attacks for many years.  I've tried diet and exercise,meditiation, herbs, and when I finally realized how many things I was missing out on with my family and friends I knew I needed to try medicine.  First I tried Buspar which offered no help and made me really dizzy. Next was Lexapro.

    The first couple of days on Lexapro i noticed nothing. By day 4 I was really tired and had a headache. Day 5-6 was the same and I was very anxious and couldn't sleep.  By this point i am so tired I have to sleep late, sleep at lunch and go to bed early.  On day 8-10 my ears rang and I almost gave up. On day 11 I FINALLY started to feel better.  Waiting for 4 weeks to see full benefits, but the side effects DO go away."


"I'm on my second month. The first few Weeks I had pretty bad mood swings, but I feel my mood has improved. I've noticed I have a bit of a hard time falling asleep, and I've lost some weight, which is not ideal for me because I'm naturally on the thin side. Other than that I don't have any other complaints. I'm having a better experience than I did when I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen, which made me dizzy and sick. I figure I will stay on it for 2 more months before deciding if I should switch."


"2 OTC naproxen (Aleve) every 8 hours starting with onset of gout attack with pain; then 2 Aleve every 12 hours for 3  days, or until pain is gone; reduce to 1 Aleve every 12 hours as soon as possible.
NOTE: This works great for acute control of pain, but be SURE to see your MD about starting you on Allopurinol to markedly reduce chances of getting gout attacks (reduces uric acid excess)."


"I was 49 when I began taking Accutane for moderate acne. My insurance company only approved 5 months treatment.  My dermatologist generally recommends 8 months but I was satisfied with my results at the end of my 5 month course.  I had the common side effects of chapped lips and dry itching skin. It's been 4 months post treatment and I'm still clear of bumps.  I don't regret my decision."


"I never received any relief.Not sure if it even works. I followed directions, just awful product."


"I am a 35 year old mom of 2. I've always tried to manage my anxiety on my own by always keeping active. The more I stayed focused on a task, the less I worried about something else. Losing my father, going through a separation, 5 deaths in my family in less then 3 years. I wasn't happy with my career and I had all of this on my mind being a single mom. I managed, I continued to smile, I didn't feel sad all the time. I just became a worry animal. I would lash out, get angry, scream and panic. Still through all of my anxiety I tried to do it on my own. Until my doctor prescripted Celexa. One day I noticed a difference. It's been 1 year and I am living a much fuller and happy life. The meds have helped me relax and breath for once in my life."


"I have been taking trulicity for about 5 months the first month or two was really rough. I definitely had fatigue nausea and severe sour stomach which are very embarrassing to have while you're at work. I have dropped about 35 pounds over the past few months but that's because you never want to eat after you take the shot. I stayed on the .75 for the first 3 months and for the last couple months I'm up to the 1.5 which increase the symptoms I have. My a1c was a 12.5 now its a 5.  Some days my sugar stays in the sixties and seventies and I struggled to keep it up good luck but is all this misery with good numbers"


"Hi

To all those that gave up before 6 weeks, didn't give it a fair chance. My first 6 weeks were hell. I wanted to die. The doc saud my body is adjusting and to give it time. My first two weeks... nausea, no appetite, felt high. I lived on crackers and ginger ale. Remember you need to titrate up. About the time I went to full dose,  experienced the most horrible migraine I ever had. My vein on the side of my temple was bulging out and beating hard and my bp went to 145 over 85 which is high for me. This was the weekend, I asked the pharmacist, he said atop it and talk to doc. I had an appt that monday. She told me to start titration again.  Well I did felt perfect. Been on for 14 months doing great.  Give it a chance!!!!!!!!!!!!"


"I love this medication! It has completely changed my life. I give it a 9 out of 10 because I get the side effects, and almost always have to nap before the side effects disappear. They are also very expensive."


"I have currently been on this medication for the last two weeks. The first week I was on 30mg once a week but I requested to be changed to every other day.These two weeks I have seen alot of the side effects that I was told about. Dry skin and lips has been the worst thing so far but nothing lotion and lip balm can't fix. The only thing I can really complain about is if you are diagnosed with IBS this medication may increase your problems with IBS. It was the worst for the first week but switching to every other day has really helped and not as many side effects. I do not see any major changes so far but at the same time I have not experienced any major outbreaks so thats a start!"


"I was put on to Humira after trying DMARDs that just wouldn't control my RA which went to being severe in a very short space of time from first diagnosis.  I have now been on the drug together with 10mg methotraxate for 2 years and haven't looked back. When I think back to being in so much pain that I couldn't get out of bed and had to have my husband help me climb the stairs there is no comparison. Now I exercise 3 times a week and am able to work without being constantly off ill. I did take shingles last year which wasn't very pleasant but other than that I haven't had any other side effects thankfully. I feel like I've been given my life back."


"Finished Harvoni April 30, 2015. First blood work undetected HCV . Second blood test August 19,2015 still undetected. Next blood work December. The final blood work May, 2016.  Doc said after August blood work most likely cured.. was on  three month treatment"


"I've had sinusitis for over 12 months which resulted in nasal polyps. Due to have polyp removal operation this year (2017) but due to the effectiveness of Dymista I am hoping that it will shrink the polyps enough that I won't need to have the surgery. I've tried every nose spray and also steroid drops in the past with no effective results. 4 days into the treatment using 2 sprays twice a day and I am already seeing drastic improvements it does cause me to have severe sneezing fits for a few minutes after using it but that's nothing compared to what I've been going through over the past 12 months. Yes occasional bad taste but I don't see what people moan about this. What's worse, a bad taste for a few minutes or relief from your symptoms."


"Works 6 out of 10 on the pain, but still have a lot of swelling in feet and ankles."


"This stuff saved me. I've got some kind of pinched nerve in my neck/shoulder no one can pinpoint exactly (since I was 17). First time I pinched it, my neck and back siezed up so bad I thought I broke something. I'm easily out 3 days without this stuff and can't move. 1500mg/ 3x day when it's acting up. Doc says this acts on every muscle, so after 3 days your dose has to come down, it's too hard on your heart long-term. Otherwise, it's a god-send. Keeps me working, still mild pain since good pain killers make me sick. After a few days I knock the dose down, usually back to normal in 5 days. It'll make you a bit sleepy at first, but that wears off and doesn't come back once your body is used to it. No other side effects to mention."


"I also suggest using Zovirax (cream or ointment) while dealing with an outbreak. It works great in combination with the Valacyclovir. Been dealing with cold sores for 25 years and I've been using this combination for about 5 years. Nothing works better."


"I've had bad side affects dyspnea just walking up a few stair steps & going to my mail box up slight incline. I also had a bad experience after a alcoholic drink I thought I was getting a stroke-chest,shoulder,arms pain & shorteness of breath, after that I had some test done ekg, stress test and heart ultra sound no problem found.I stopped using azelastine for 1 week and can not drink alcohol yet because still have after affects and still have shortness of breath after any slight physical activity It also affects me breathing colder air gives me shortness of breath"


"I've been on this pill for about 3 weeks.  I think it's working, not pregnant yet. It has made my breast a little tender, but no size increase. I started to break out on my face, no cramping, dryness around the vagina, no sex drive at all."


"I have been on yaz now for about a year and a bit for my acne. At first I experienced the same thing as everyone else, bad skin for the first three months. However after that it was strange my skin would still break out for the first three weeks and then be completely clear during my period it was like that for months. I was ready to give up but hung in there I just really wanted clear skin and I'm glad I did. Seriously 1 year later something clicked and my skin was pimple free. Except for the off pimple on my period my skin is great now."


"These eye drops helped with itching, swelling and discharge within 12 hours. The redness of the eye persisted longer."


"I felt like I was going to die and kept passing out.
Lost my job, my activities ended and I was a complete mess Dec 2014 my first time suffering from this after being hospitalized because I didnt know what was wrong after numerous Drs and medications. Lexapro was prescribed and after 2 weeks I felt a difference after 3 months, I was back on my feet after 6 months, I was driving and caring, again after 1 year I can work again."


"This is horrible. Instantly burning! Pain is much worse then the yeast infection symptoms! Is there a recall on this? Find it very strange that so many people are having issues. Used rx and other monistats in the past and never had issues."


"For immediate relief this drug is great. I take 0.5mg when I absolutely need it (2-3x every couple months.) but only reason I wouldn't give it a 9 or 10 because I did have a bad experience with this drug. I took it for 7 days straight 3x .5mg per day as prescribed by my doctor for generalized anxiety disorder. I abruptly stopped taking it because I didn't want to have to take it everyday and I ended up going thru a withdraw. I then got vertigo for a couple months, which was absolutely terrible. BUT I think it you use this drug responsibly and do NOT take it multiple days in a row it can definitely come in handy. I also have high blood pressure caused by anxiety, and usually get effective relief after about 30 minutes. Hang in there!"


"While on this medication 20mg 2x daily I had chest pain and shortness of breath. I was taking to the hospital multiple times because I thought I was having a heart attack."


"I have been on this pill for about 8 months and I am not satisfied at all. Ever since I started taking this I have been getting bad acne along my jawline and I have become depressed to the point where I had to start taking medication for that too. I haven't noticed any changes in weight; I workout almost every day and I maintain a healthy diet. I am 19 years old and I have no sex drive and I blame this medication for it. I am in a long term relationship and the only thing it has done good for me is prevent pregnancy. I hate this pill and I honestly believe that it has aided in causing the issues in my life. I gave it way more than 2-3 months to settle in and I am not happy. I do not recommend this pill to anyone. Stay away."


"I started taking this at 6 weeks post Partum for birth control while nursing. I feel like I have had a period now non-stop or I just have spotting and no idea when my actual period is due anymore. I've quit trying to figure it out; obviously I'm annoyed! It's supposed to not bother lactation, but there has been a definite decrease In my milk supply. Planning to finish this pack out and quit and use a backup. I would rather have no birth control pill at this point than all this spotting constantly!
Also, I have been noticing a change in vision, but I have blamed it constantly on my contacts, lol! Seems to be a common side effect- maybe that's my problem!"


"NO. Just no - it works but it is very hard to tell if it is even worth it. This stuff is highly potent. They recommend it for children but in my opinion it is highly unsuitable - I am a very small teenager and it has absolutely wreaked havoc with me. I took two tablets (the prescribed dose) before bed and the next day I thought nothing had happened - I soon found out it worked. By the end of the day I was experiencing intense and relentless cramps, burning, and my parents told me they noticed my stomach had "deflated". It is the correct dose for an Rhino maybe, but for small adults and children I recommend you stay away. Save yourselves - you have been forewarned."


"I am doing Adipex as well as Medifast. Medifast is hard to stay in fat burn state because I cheat now and then, but now with Adipex added I have no cravings or urge to eat until the end of the day and since it's been working so well I choose healthy meals. I started at 161 on Oct. 26, 2015 and today Nov. 2, 2015 I'm already down to 157. My doctor said I am not obese but I am overweight due to PCOS. PCOS is awful trying to loose weight and so far the Adipex is the only steady thing that fits my lifestyle. I don't always have time to meal prep which is also why Medifast is great. 100 calories 5 times a day and 1 lean and green meal that adds up to around 300-400 calories so 800-900 calories a day. I split the pill half in the am and half @ 12"


"I get YIs every time I take antibiotics. Every. Time. I don't even waste time waiting to get an rx for Terconazole because I know I will need it, and I know it will work. I am usually better after 3 days. I had hoped Diflucan would do the trick since this cream is such a mess, but Diflucan doesn't provide the relief for me that Terconazole does."


"Without Ambien I'm up literally all night. But if you don't take it on am empty stomach it doesn't work at all. I take it at midnight and can't eat after 5 or 6PM or else it won't work. If you try and stay up after it starts to work you may do things you wouldn't normally do - like shop online, which I've done and many people I know. Luckily everything I've bought is stuff I've wanted, but still..."


"I am a 21 year old male diagnosed with ADD around 4 years ago. About a while back I was prescribed to 50mg of Vyvanse. So far its effects have been very positive. In the past, I have been on Strattera and Adderall. The eupohric feeling Adderall produces brings a high potential for abuse and dependence, along with extreme mood changes and irratability. With Vyvanse, the urge for more does not exist. It is consistent throughout most of the day and delivers concentration and a sense of confidence and well-being. I've had slightly decreased appetite, but am much more productive and focused. I feel that I have gotten my life back. It is the best ADD medicine I have been on. Highly recommended."


"All of my life I've had varying levels of social anxiety & agoraphobia, usually without any logical cause. Even riding in cars made me unduly nervous. I had a rough, fear-filled childhood and that seemed to set me up for chronic nervousness. But there's no room for that in adult life. Valium eliminates the unnecessary anxiety & also helps with muscle spasms from my fibromyalgia. I don't get fatigue from this during the day. I do find that taking one before bed helps me relax my 100-miles-per-hour brain (stupid racing thoughts & worries) plus my muscles don't get all kinked up in knots while I'm sleeping. I've never needed to increase my dose on it even after several years, since it works as well as the day I started it, personally."


"I went from being to severely depressed and so lethargic I couldn't get out of bed, to taking the lowest dose of Effexor and suddenly having more energy than I knew what to do with. "


"I was prescribed this drug a few years ago for mild depression. The first time I had no real side effects except nausea for a few days. I was on it for 6 months.

About a month ago I went to the Dr for my PMS symptoms and he decided to try it again. This time I had no appetite for 2 weeks. I felt sick every time I ate. Very tired and not wanting to do anything. I also still have diarrhoea every morning. I'm becoming dehydrated. Other than that I feel great, except now I have zero sex drive. My husband is suffering because of this. Even if I try and get into it I can't orgasm. It's hard to decide if the good outweighs the bad. I'm probably going to switch meds."


"Here is the trouble with these sites - the skew towards horror stories.  There is also a handful who claim that statins are "poison" and "should be taken off the market".  This is, clearly, an overreaction by those who have the adverse reaction, which - despite what you would think from reading these reviews - are very low frequency events.  Statins are probably as close to a wonder drug as modern pharmacology has ever gotten.  Yes, there are those who are intolerant, allergic, or simply confused as to the genesis of their symptoms.  The truth is, statins work for the vast majority of people taking them, and they work well.  Having said this, I am also perplexed as to why some folks in their later 70s or even 80s are taking them?"


"The depo shot is extremely effective, however I had the horrible experience of mood changes. I became an absolute terror and began becoming depressed after just one shot! I am switching back over to the pill!"


"It's completely allowed me to be myself around people and even post things like this on the internet. I started at 10mg and was able to call people I knew and walk from my car to places without overwhelming stress. I still felt a little bit of anxiety, but now at 20mg my life is a world apart from where I used to be. When I began using paroxetine I did have the nausea and increased sweating, which wasn't very pleasant but believe me it gets better and is worth it."


"I was diagnosed with R/R MS in 1998. At that time there were limited options but my neuro had me start Betaseron (injection every other day) which was the 'strongest' med at that time. Once I learned my limitations with MS, betaseron worked well, only having a relapse once a year, that was treated with steroid infusions. After being on betaseron for almost 16 years, my injection site(s) had literally become hardened (scarred) so I had to do something else. I've been on Gilenya for almost 2 years now and have not had a relapse worth treating. I take Provigil (Modifinal sp?) daily for fatigue and Baclofen as needed for muscle spasms. I like taking a pill daily compared to injection that you have to mix every other day. No side effects for me. $ tho"


"I recently pulled a lower back muscle trying to put a generator onto a cart at Lowes.  The pain was not too bad so I carried on and tried to work through the pain (I have pulled it before) well that was a week ago.  Yesterday I went to the gym to sit in the Sauna to help loosen it up, which it did but while walking out I stumbled and my back locked up.  The spasm was bad.  I managed to get home and I was able to stretch out, but this morning I started getting lower back spasms something fierce.  I was unable to move without a spasm. Well right now,  still on bed, but I am taking Vicodin (pain) and flexeril (muscle relaxer) I hope to be up soon.  Thank you all for your posts. They helped me get through this nightmare."


"I have had MUCH success with getting rid of hallucinations, but this is simply not treating the bipolar portion of my schizoaffective disorder.  I'm having severe racing thoughts, compulsive lying, and general mania right now, and I'm on 80mg."


"Works well, but I refrain from exercise when taking. It's the only antibiotic strong enough to cure bad sinus infections. Have taken it a couple of times for years with no issues except a little insomnia."


"Alesse has been working really well for me. In the last month I've gained 3 lbs in what I believe to be water weight, as I feel quite bloated. Either way I can easily work 3 lbs off. I have been a bit nauseous on it as I take Alesse in the morning, but nothing unmanageable. I haven't had any spotting. I've had a bit of breast tenderness, but nothing that bothers me. I have been a bit tired, so I just have a little extra coffee in the morning. Overall I've had a good experience so far with Alesse."


"2nd month. Weight gain, horrible acne, nausea, and SPOTTING EVERY DAY. Even started 2 full blown periods during this month and a half. Trying to stick with it, not sure."


"I had to switch to TriNessa Lo after my insurance wouldn't cover my Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo prescription which I had been on for over 3 years. I was scared that it would make my body all wacked out of the sorts since it was the generic brand. I have been on it for a month now and nothing has changed (knock on wood). I actually feel like it might be better than the non-generic. I have slight cramps during my period, but not bad. Acne level isn't bad either, haven't gained weight either. I think I am having a good experience because I used to be on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for the longest time. Anyways, 9/10 from me. :)"


"I was recently prescribed this medication and it did not work at all for me."


"Severe constipation started within 2 days after I started this pill (had been on low ovral for years prior, but currently unavailable),  acne followed, and now 5lb weight gain in past 3 weeks.   The stomach craps are so painful (constipation-related) that I am completely distracted throughout the day,  every day now.  I cannot wait to finish cycle and move on to another pill.  I've taken many different types of pills in the past 20 years...never had a single issue of any sort until this one."


"Works great for: anxiety, depression, OCD, PMS, IBS, coping with stress, fibromyalgia, sleeping better, low immunity from stress, headache prevention, helps you think positive rather than negative thoughts. Negative side effects include daytime fatigue, dry mouth, agitation/hyperactivity, harder to orgasm, harder to feel in love/emotional numbness, vivid dreams."


"I take 400mg/day for fatigue and mental fog.  It helped a great deal although after 3 years it doesn't work as well as in the beginning.  I started taking 200mg/day and it didn't help until I took it for 3 months.  Increased to 300mg/day after 1 year and to 400mg/day after 2nd year."


"I have been taking this medication for a month.  No breakthrough bleeding and my menstrual cycle has been a great, but the negative side effects have been miserable.  I experienced severe mood swings, depression (and I am usually a happy person),  bloating, weight gain, increased appetite, breast tenderness, discomfort and pain in my abdomen and extreme fatigue.  I have been miserable since starting this medication and will discontinue it and try something else."


"I was ovulating when me and boyfriend did it. it was until he finished when we realized that the condom broke and he finished inside me. it was a horrible feeling "


"There should be a negative number rating for this product, since it literally made my issue far worse. I have rosacea and experience constant redness, sun-sensitivity, and long-lasting flushes. When initially applied, this product blanched my skin into a sort of blotchy-but-paler-than-usual state for about 12 hours....then all hell broke loose. I woke up in the night with the most intense rebound flushing imaginable. You could probably have used my face to smelt iron. I applied it once more, and then totally gave up. The discomfort was horrific, and to make matters worse, my poor skin was completely out of wack for about a week after; extra flushy, super sensitive, and generally awful. Seems like most people have a similar experience."


"I suffer from spinal pain in the lumbar region. I receive Lumbar ESIs from my pain management doctor, but I never can get to sleep even with a good bed and pain medication. So he gave me some Lunesta samples and I finally slept like a baby in spite of my back pain. I still have a bulging disc and receive injections, but the best thing in the world is 3 mg of Lunesta for a great nights sleep! He wrote me a script and I take it every night now."


"I read the side effects before taking this medicine, which you should probably never do, but I decided to give it a try anyways. Took one dose and was fine, after the next dose I started feeling not good. Got the chills and a slight fever, and made my already existing anxiety worse. It did however, make the urinary symptoms subside. However, when my original urinary culture returned, no bacteria was found??? needless to say, because of the side effects, I stopped after two doses."


"Within a day of starting this, I started experiencing horrible side effects- my skin started to break out and my appetite was fluctuating drastically. But the worst part was the terrible mood swings. I became terribly depressed and was crying for an hour day for no reason. Couldn't finish the month."


"I had my Nexplanon inserted 7 weeks postpartum in October 2015. I had light spotting for a few weeks which was expected according to my doctor. I have no sex drive at all and thought that was because of having a new baby, but 5.5 months in and I still hate it. Not just because the desire is down, but also this medication has caused my doctor to diagnose me with a post menopausal vagina due to nursing my infant while being on it. She said breast feeding already causes Estrogen levels to drop and Nexplaonon does so as well. She prescribed me a vaginal cream and it is still the most excruciating experience when trying to have sex. My hair is so greasy and I have had SEVERE acne for a month now. Removal scheduled for 2 weeks out."


"I have mixed incontinence. I saw results within a few days. It was awesome! A great relief! BUT my mouth was sooo dry. My sinus felt thick and not draining well. And worst of all, I had constant constipation. I used the drug for 5 weeks, hoping side effects would subside.  They didn't. I decided to stop taking it, due the discomfort and concerns of the extreme dryness. Since its an extended release med, the effects lasted a few more weeks after I stopped! Too bad the side effects outweighed the benefit for me."


"25mg daily.  For insomnia you need to take it 5 hours before you go to bed.  I never miss a night's sleep on this."


"This has been such a sweet relief, I wish I stared sooner as soon as my periods were getting slowly heavier and horrible. After throwing up on my last period and getting anaemic - enough was ENOUGH and decided to speak to my doctor, after getting my script filled and examined ( I had nothing wrong internally) and got seasonique. Took about a month for my body to settle down. EXPECT some side effects, headache, tender breast and fluid retention until ur levels even out. U MUST Take the pill SAME time EVERYDAY!! I experienced  one break through bleed, cause I was 8 hrs late in taking one and lasted a week. This is because the hormones  last so long in the bloodstream and any slight dip triggers bleeding. goodluck in starting!! :)"


"Very helpful for anxiety  if taken at proper dosage. I take 4 mg a day (2 mg twice a day) and it's been excellent! Find a doctor who understands how anxiety actually works and isn't anti benzos. If taken responsibly, Benzos, like Klonopin, can be life changing!"


"I suffer from Fibromyalgia.  Although prescribed 8 tablets daily, I typically take 4 if I can get away with it. It's very effective for pain."


"No periods. No cramps. Clear face. Limited mood swings, No loss of sexual desire."


"I suggest if you're going to use these patches that you use them perfectly according to the instructions.

I had imperfect (but not terrible) use and ended up pregnant on my 7th month being on them.

The side effects weren't better or worse for me as compared with other BC. I didn't have some problems with peeling and loosening."


"Doctor prescribed this medication due to inflammation from plantar fasciitis. 15 mg once a day. Read all the literature about this drug. It was great at relieving the pain in my heel.  However, after only one dose I had dizziness and a pounding headache. Also got heartburn even though I took it in a full stomach. I also felt my heart racing and got pressure in my ears. Most likely due to it raising my blood pressure. Definitely not worth all that as I had a TIA 8 years ago. The instructions to doctors says to use the lowest dose for the shortest period of time. Should have been given 7.5 and not for 2 months."


"I received this medication through my PCP for horrendous arthritis pain. This medicine is a joke! Like taking baby aspirin!"


"Well. What can I say - Viagra has been great. Works for about 6-7 hours with very minimal side effects. Only side effect I experience was a mild headache the next day. Been using it for 6 months now and I haven't noticed any decreases in effectiveness/strength. I am only 29 years old though."


"IT WORKS! just give it time. I took it 10 hours after my "incident". i just had my period a week ago and got it again so you could expect your period to come a little early (or late). but if you're worried... GIVE IT TIME! it works.. it saved my life."


"I was first put on the daytrana patch back in 2005 my freshmen year of highschool. I have been on and off it, due to me not needing it at some times. I am 25 years old now and still only need 20 mg patches. I have not had any issues with this medication aside from the fact that some of the backings on the patches won't come off sometimes. It can leave a sticky residue on my skin but nothing that bothers me. I just restarted this back up and have noticed a decrease in appetite.but once my levels get back to normal appetite also comes back. I highly reccomend to keep communicating with your dr about any thing that feels "off" to you. While on this medicine my grades have always come up from d's and c's to a's and b's."


"After 16 years of very severe acne I have finally perfect solution, cleared my face within 1 month. Love it, perfect!"


"I had very severe fungus in four toes and had tried a number of over the counter topical medications. I saw the ads for Jublia and finally started using the product about a year ago. Three of my four toes are completely cured and the big toe on my left foot is the only fungus issue left. It's been slow going on this nail, but about 1/3 has grown back completely healthy. I think it might be another year, but I am committed to the process."


"Took it in 46 hours after an intercourse in which the condom tore. 4 weeks pregnant now!  CVS attendant gave this Pill saying it's same as Plan B. It's NOT!!!

Spend $10 extra and get Plan B! It works."


"This drug changed my life.  It turned down my emotions just enough (I'm on .5mg) that I could actually function in normal society.  Thanks to it, I am now in college (when I was diagnosed at 16 I was failing half my courses) and doing phenomenally well.  I can't say this will work for everyone, but I must say it's exactly what I needed.  Thank you Janssen Pharmaceutical, you have given me a future."


"I have used tramedo for over a year now and can honestly say it has helped me get my life back.  I suffer from chronic back pain which restricted me everyday.  Even just to walk round the shops in pain.  I was warned about the side effects and stayed in bed ready for them.  Yes I talked rubbish.  Had sweats.  Knocked me out and made me feel nauseous but I stuck with it and after 3 days I began to feel better and could feel a relief in my back.  I am so grateful I actually have found a good Dr who prescribed me tramedo sr 150 mg twice a day.  For me it had worked and I even went back to full time work.  Very happy . I do stick to the same brand I did get a different brand from another chemist and they did nothing I was in pain all day ."


"Great pill,  because it made my periods regular but gave me MAJOR mood swing and headaches."


"I have Breast Cancer that metastasized to both lungs and some lymphnodes, along with lesions on my spine, scapula, and pelvis. With stage 4 status, I've been on 4 different chemo drugs in the past, along with an herbal regiment that had me swallowing literally 30 PILLS every day with little to no improvement. I have to admit I wasn't very hopeful when my oncologist suggested Halaven. It has been hard finding drug therapy that works but I'm happy to report that after being on Halaven for 3 months I'm feeling GREAT! I'm breathing much better and I'm able to do so much more on a day to day basis... My next PET is scheduled for a few weeks from now and for the 1st time in my 3 year battle I'm hopeful for a remission."


"Have had surgery on my shoulder twice and my neck all over 11-12 months been dealing with pain about 2 -5 yrs before getting worst up till surgery and then after I go to PT for 6 months after each surgery and each time the pain comes back as bad as before was put on dose pac and it has helped twice pain management Doctor doesn't want to put me on a daily dose. Up till not pain meds really don't help at all Tylenol #3 helps a little. My pain has gotten to the point left neck ,shoulder and left arm the pain is to the point it takes my breath away (take me to my knees) muscle spasms in my neck till no end. Took the dose pack seemed to help was able to get out of the house only lasted about 5 days."


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


"Contracted when I was 19 through intravenous drug use.  Never had treatment before. Harvoni cured me.

 Just found out today after a 90 day treatment and waiting 3 1/2 months after last treatment"


"Started this birth control because I had really really bad cramps. It cured my cramps and made my period lighter. I had no side effects with it other than the first month I was constantly hungry. I'm happy that the first birth control pill I tried worked perfectly for me."


"I've been prescribed this medication twice. Each time I took a tablet I got sick and nauseous. It increased my migraines and the pain I was experiencing. I refuse to use this medication, and my nurse practitioner refuses to try any new medication on me. I am forced to live a migraine infused life style and live with the pain."


"I have been on and off ambien for 6 years. Well I decided to try lunesta 3 mg. It gave me a nasty metallic taste for a whole day. I couldn't go to sleep. It was horrible."


"I have flu many times over the last half century, but last year, even after flu vaccine, was the absolute worst. This year symptoms hit me like a ton of bricks on a Friday afternoon: pulse of 120, fever of 102, terrible chills and body aches. I headed straight to a clinic (doc's office was closed) and got a prescription for Tamiflu, which I started immediately. When I awoke the next day my symptoms were much better. I still had the flu, but a mild case."


"I had skyla in for about a year and a half my period was very irregular.  I was having a period every two weeks and eventually I had pain and felt pregnancy symptoms.  I was later rushed to the ER for emergency surgery for an ectopic pregnancy, had to have my right tube removed.  My doctor was very upset.  She has been issuing Mirena for over ten years and has never had an ectopic pregnancy.  In the pass few years of inserting skyla she has seen FIVE ectopic pregnancies in women.  She now refuses to insert it in any of her patience and asks the skyla company to leave every time they visit or else very soon they are going to have a lawsuit on their hands!"


"Have IBS & on strong meds for ongoing pains elsewhere. I get bunged up quite a lot & have been again more so than usual for a few days. I took my pain relief meds as usual all day Monday, tried to go to the loo again on Monday night but couldn't & I was doubled over in constipation pain, so I took 2 Senokot. All day Tuesday I was asleep on & off. Couldn't eat or drink a thing and felt very sick with stomach pains, couldn't even talk properly. In the evening I drank some water but each sip went through me, it was like a laxative! Today (Wednesday),I still feel very sick and every little thing I've tried to eat or drink goes through me. I'm also getting a migraine and although I feel better than yesterday, I still feel ill.Rather be bunged up!"


"My boyfriend and I have been using the pull out method for years now. I've taken plan b before and always received and immediate period and symptoms within 1 week. Well, on 7/30 we had sex and he actually came in me. I took a plan b the very next morning and basically was having early preggo symptoms for about 2 weeks. I was so scared because I had never had symptoms last that long or had to wait that long before I knew the pill worked. I took a home pregnancy test about a week after taking the pill and it came out negative but I figured it was too early to tell. I got my period on 8/15 about two weeks after taking the pill and I've never been so happy to see blood in my life. Don't freak out about he symptoms you get, the pill works."


"Taking this for a very painful dental abscess. It's been a God send. Got my first significant bit of sleep in days. It does give me dry mouth, so if you take it for dental reasons Biotene mouthwash is helpful."


"I've always liked Nuvaring because it is convenient, and I experience fewer side-effects than I have with other birth control medications.

I believe my experience is rare, but the Nuvaring has gotten "lost" inside me. I am going to the Obgyn tomorrow to have them try to remove it. I will update tomorrow after my visit to the doctor."


"Lamotrigine is my wonder drug. I was suffering from debilitating, anxiety. My doctor tried several antidepressants (Zoloft, Celexa, Lexapro, Paxil, Vybrid), and I had no benefits; only side effects. We also tried all kinds of benzodiazepines and they did nothing for me. Ambien would grant me only 3 hours of sleep. My symptoms would go from clammy hands and feet, heart racing and high blood pressure to sheer terror. My first day (really) on Lamotrigine and I already felt the symptoms subside. On the following days I felt even better. In two weeks I was feeling like myself again, so much that I was able to jump on a plane and travel to Brazil by myself. If nothing is working for you, give Lamotrigine a try. I am grateful I did."


"Pros: Minimal cramping. Light period that just resembled spotting. No mood changes.

Cons: Sky-rocketing blood pressure (up 20 points for both numbers). To the point of Hypertension II."


"Of the non-benzodiazepeine anti-anxiety agents, Vistaril is my first choice. Vistaril seperates itself from the others by rapidly inducing a pleasant & warm feeling. By comparison, things like Compazine and clonidine are much colder and more harsh in side effects. Although Vistaril is gentle & easy going for the first hour or so, a strong drowsiness will come on by Hour #2. But overall I'd still rank it as a side-effect-free type of medicine, when compared to other non-benzo anxiolytics."


"I'm almost 16. I had Mirena inserted on May 25th, and so far I have loved it. I occasionally get crampy and my stomach hurts, but not often. The insertion was pretty painful (I can tolerate pain very well) and I just took some ibuprofen afterward. I have bled lightly for most of the duration I've had the Mirena. I haven't had any strange side effects. I was on the Nuvaring before and it made me dizzy. That's the main reason I got Mirena. My acne hasn't changed, gotten worse or totally cleared up. I like my Mirena so far. "


"I swapped to Zantac after Nexium, which did not work well for me.  Zantac has been great; not having any trouble sleeping, symptoms of reflux have gone, have my energy and concentration back.  So much better than Nexium, one third of the cost, and available without prescription."


"I have taken finasteride for 20 months, and rogaine 9 months (last 9 months).  I lost hair initially during the shedding phase which i never got back.  Now I have not lost anymore hair but I did not experience any regrowth.  No effect on erection.

On another note, I reduced my alcohol intake by 80% (now have 3-5 drinks per week in total) and have increased libido."


"I took plan be one hour after unprotected sex. I waited two weeks to get my period, and it was a very stressful wait. On the second week, I began getting weird cramp-like feelings. I was worried I was pregnant. The day before my period arrived, I was extremely nauseous. However today I woke up, and my period arrived! I was so relieved and happy. Except today, my cramps were SO bad that I actually threw up and was quite dizzy. It's all worth it though, as I was extremely scared for two weeks. If you are reading this, please don't stress! The pill is very effective, and is over 95% effective taken within the first 24 hours."


"I try not to use tramadol too often for the pain I experience with my Crohn's and Rheumatoid Arthritis - only when it is very severe and the strong codeine I already take is not helping - this is down to the negative side effects I experience when taking it. Although it helps with the pain and can help with my mood I really don't like the overall experience. I find it can make me disorientated; slightly nauseous and with a loss of appetite; blur my vision and make me feel weirdly euphoric (very mildly) in a "speedy" way; and while some people report sleeping better I find it has the opposite effect and I suffer insomnia when taking it. The worst thing by far though is the itching!! I always forget how bad it makes me itch!  100mg"


"Got it when I was 18. No kids. Covered 100% Insertion felt like a bad period cramp. Was over before I knew it. Cramped for maybe a day or two. Manageable. My partner hardly complained that he felt the strings They never hurt him just sometimes they needed to be adjusted. I kept it in for 6 years because I didn't have insurance anymore. On the 6th year I had a light regular period. I had no weight gain, no mood swings (hormones are localized with mirena), no acne problems. No side effects at all."


"I got the nexplanon put in 8 wks after giving birth to my baby. It's been in for 4 months and I have been bleeding every single day since I got it put in. I have no sex drive what so ever. When I try to have sex w my fiance it is so dry because of the blood it doesn't work. I have been skinny my whole life and since this nexplanon I weigh 30 more lbs than I ever have. I'm getting it taken out. Worst birth control I have ever tried."


"Depakote worked great as a migraine preventative, but caused a weight gain of over 100 pounds in less than 3 months. It also caused non-alcoholic steatoid hepatitis (aka extreme fatty liver). I also now have Type 2 Diabetes. My body was shutting down because of Depakote. If you decide to take it, please, please, please keep up with the blood tests to check liver function and see your doctor immediately if you have sudden weight gain. By the way, after over 12 years, the last 50 pounds of that weight gain is stubbornly hanging on."


"Been taking Qsymia since June 1st 2016,  started at 304 pounds - down to 214 as of today 1/12/17. Kills off my appetite and cravings at night like nothing else I have ever used.  I have hardly exercised honestly and I know that's not suggested - it's really just helped me eat less. Which led me to eat healthier overall.  The cost is absurd but so worth it for these results,  my goal is to get down to 185, it's within sight - unbelievable!  I combined the Qsymia with using a fitbit and the lose it app to track my eating habits,  all combined has worked wonders for me. Good luck to everyone else out there."


"After suffering for more than ten days with a stuffed nose and post nasal drip cough, I tried this medicine for the first time this morning. Two squirts in each nostril and within an hour, I felt like a new person. I am so grateful for trying this stuff. It is such a game changer for me. It's now about seven hours later and I still feel wonderful. What a blessing."


"Many years in pain ....Zoloft saved me .

Side Effects -Minor

Relief From Depression - Tremendous

Been on it for over 15 years .

Started at 50mg per day , now 150 per day .

Thankyou Pfizer ...for giving me my life back ."


"I'm on my 5th day taking Lexapro 10mg and the side effects have been horrible! The most I can put into my stomach is a breakfast essential shake in a whole day, I get heavy head aches, the back of my eyes hurt like hell, I wake up drenched in sweat, my whole body aches to the point where I can barely walk, I get very cold easily, and I sleep throughout the day.. I was told the side effects will stop after a week but will the loss of appetite stop too?"


"I've been on Lexapro 10mg for 5 years now and it makes me "me" again.  It's wonderful! I've never had a side effect.  I've also lost 90 pounds!  I was eating because of the stress and depression and when that started to go away so did the overeating! I started to feel a lot better.  It took about 4-5 weeks for it to kick in and I had to chart my progress through my doctor but I am truly thankful. "


"It works great but it is so expensive."


"I take one before bed which keeps me breathing easily during the night despite my allergies.  It also helps me get to sleep and stay asleep.  The active ingredient, dyphenhydramine HCL, you will find is the main ingredient in quite a few over the counter sleep medications so that should tell us something.  And Benadryl or a generic drugstore brand are cheaper and just as effective.  Have been taking this for over 20 years and have no side effects"


"No severe pain, but constant ache in both knees, especially at night.  Relief within first week.  First pain free sleep in 3 years.  Completed 3 weekly injections and still enjoying full night sleep.  Hope it lasts.  Will update in 6 months."


"I've now had Paragard for about 9 1/2 months and I love it! Insertion was a bit painful, and I have had a child, however it's quick and brief so it's something worth overlooking. I cramped for about 3-4 days after insertion, but nothing that was debilitating. Fast forward 9 1/2 months and the ONLY pitfall has been the monthly cramping during ovulation and the day before my period begins. I never had cramps before Paragard, but I still think the product is worth it. Also, my periods definitely extended from 5 days to 7-8 days and were MUCH heavier, to the point where I've bled through my jeans after changing a tampon just an hour beforehand. With that said though, the last 2 months my periods have been lighter and not so crazy."


"After suffering from anxiety and depression for over 30 years, I finally found a medication that helps me feel better. No side effects or weight gain. "


"I cannot even tell people enough how much this medicine has saved my life. If you struggle with bipolar 2 or mood disorders this medicine is perfect for you. I am so stable when I am on this and feel 10x happier overalls". I take this with your adderall and lexapro, regardless I gaurentee this medicine will work for almost anyone. Also, you need to take at least 300 MG to feel the effects."


"Dealing with Anxiety for almost 20 years. Tried many different medication and methods. Started escitalopram 10 mg/ day early Nov2016 ( almost 3 month ago) with the help of Lorazepam for first few weeks.
It is working very well.
First week a little headache and some ongoing yawning came with it but not a big deal.
Anxiety is significantly better and my sleep has improved . My mind is not generating negative thoughts and over analyzing them anymore .
I am able to look at the whole picture on the issues as oppose to worrying about details that were not important to begin with before taking this med.
My family notices my improvement and my better mood.
I wish I started this years ago and enjoyed my youth . Ah."


"I have had chronic pain and muscle soreness and tightness for about 13 years. Recently my pain management doctor left his practice but I had 2 refills on my Tizanidine and could no longer get my Hydro :( so I got Tiz refilled. (Previously I had only taken the Tiz at night once in while.) The first time I took it was Sunday during the day and it was fine, it just made me feel a bit relaxed. I also took one Sunday night before bed and slept like a rock. But it seems that this med really adversely affects me the next day. On Monday at work I suddenly started feeling extremely tired and out of it around Noon. (I didn't even take it on Monday.) Then Monday evening I began to get very nauseous and sweaty. Very strange drug. I also got headaches from it"


"The first few weeks that I started taking this pill, the worst thing that happened to me was my face was a little dry but nothing a moisturizer could not fix. I am on it for my period disorders. I would have a period for 8 to 9 days, every 2 months, sometimes every 2 weeks, it was just messed up. So my doctor put me on this pill. My period is now 3 days long, I could wear a pantyliner the whole time, and be perfectly fine. The dryness on my face went away and I haven't gained any weight or something crazy of that sort."


"After 10 years of 5mg of Paxil which the company doesn't make but I cut the pill in half only to ward off the horrible sandy floating feeling in my head side effects to get off, my doctor gave me several samples of trintilex at 5mg to start... I had such high hopes of great things and what his pharmaceutical rep reported of course all positive so the drug is pushed... My symptoms: 4 weeks into and all started immediately but wanted it to work so bad... Nausea to the highest level, dizziness, couldn't focus or concentrate at work, irritable, angry, agitated, enraged, severe stomach pains and cramping daily, vision issues my eye sight blurry and needed a stronger script, nightmares, suicidal thoughts and not wanting to be here very scary"


"I wouldn't give Prozac anything greater than a 1. Mainly for the fact that I have been on this now for 1 month 20 mg daily; Increased my terrible moods followed by anxiety attacks, I have become an insomniac, my pulse has increased terribly, and my appetite is zero. Without the back up "Xanax" I would still be at square 1. I occasionally drink to get drunk, but have been recently informed that this drug mixed with alcohol has a severe risk of suicide.  I was not depressed before I was referred to this medicine, but now I feel that it is becoming worse. Am I miss diagnosed?"


"I've always suffer with anxiety, but I've been able to control it. I've been out of work for 3 weeks, with a phobia of going back, because I had a panic attack, & I was exposed, and people were watching. My secret was out. Rewind - 3 weeks ago I had a kidney infection, I was in the hospital for 5 days, home for 5 days, then went directly back to a stressful job. That's where it happened the attack.. people were surrounding me and causing me more stress, I was put back in the hospital. I'm now on buspar, and xanax. Buspar I have my negative thoughts on that, not sure it's helping or not dizzy spells. But the Xanax does help with the anxiety. It makes me super sleepy and groggy. I'm seeing a therapist and psychiatrist, pray 4 me"


"I was prescribed Latuda, and I only took it for about two weeks before begging to be switched to something else. It might have just been me, but it made me angry and uncomfortable all the time. Restless, pissed off, and definitely did not help my depression. I'm now taking Abilify and Seroquel and those seem to be helping a lot. I'm writing a review as a caution to those just starting: if you get raged out while on this medicine, SWITCH right away! This is not supposed to happen!"


"Before taking this, my hands and feet were always so cold, my depressing mood I just could not shake off, I was irritable and hopeless, a drone, living day to day.  I finally turned to my doctor for help. It surprised me to find out that my being cold, even in the heat of the summer, had to do with anxiety! Within the first day of taking this medication, I felt instant relief. The will to live flowed in my veins right down to my fingertips and toes. I feel alive again, no longer cold, no longer hopeless. I am happy to be me and so very thankful that this type of medication exists! It's obvious by this board that it helps a lot of people just like it helped me. One Symptom: Yawning! So, I go outside for deep breathes of air."


"Hi everyone this is my second  update, its been 2 weeks on phen. My starting weight on 4\22 was a big 226. My first weigh in I was down to 214 and as of today 5\7, I weigh 207. 19 pounds in 2 weeks!!  But more importantly  I wanted to make sure that everyone  please please do not take dry mouth lightly it causes cavities... I developed my first cavity ever in 22 years , Because of dry mouth .. please drink\sip on water all the time and chew sugar free gum or suck on candies. Brush your teeth after every meal, it will help keep the bad bacteria  out . I hope I do not get any more cavities..and I am hoping you don't either. Other than that I'm pleased with the weight loss and continue to work towards my goal  (140lbs)"


"I had a few small pimples on my forehead that kept forming even though I wash my face and use Epiduo, so my dermatologist gave me this.  I took this pill and the next morning I got the stomach flu which lasted for seven days, so I stopped taking this pill. I stopped taking this and then my mom convinced me that since it is winter that I am just getting sick.  So I took this pill for a week straight and my acne is worse than it has ever been in my life, to the point where I don't even want to leave the house.  I went to the dermatologist and they told me to take this twice a day, so I did for one month and I think it's honestly causing my acne because it is horrible and now that i stopped taking it Is getting better. Don't take this!"


"I was given a Rx for Predisone to help alleviate bursitis in my hip.  After taking the Z pack for 4 days I started have rapid heart rate.... I called the doctor and he said to go to the emergency room, I was admitted to hospital with a HR of 180.  After several days of trying different options  they decided to use the electrical shock method,   doctor tried it 3 times and he said it still did not get into right rate,  he called another doctor that specializes in the "electrical" part of the heart and he started me ton Tikosyn and Eliquis and within 4 hours my rate was normal.  Then I had to stay in the hospital for 3 more days   (7 days total).Having problems with feet  & leg swelling and getting my diabetes back in acceptable range."


"sI began having severe panic and anxiety about 6 weeks after being on HRT and I.might add for the past 7 years. I was a wreck crying all the time I mean yes I miss my mom but she has been gone since 1999 an literally cry on a dime all day. I keep having weird mind spells that would b triggered by a familiar smell or sound an though they felt de sha vie ish they weren't just weird an scary thought I was going craZY. Finally went to doctors they did a bunch of test and he told me exactly why my panic disorder and anxieties were getting so bad, I have zero % of estrogen in body. The doct said hrt and hbp meds not primarily used to treat the panic and anxiety they do help control. Put me on 10 celexa and 0.25 x 2 xanax. I feel like a million!!!"


"i have only been on saxenda for 1 week and have to say was dubious at the start mainly because of the outlay of $387 and what if it didnt work. Well i am happy to say so far it has the thumbs up.  I started out with the minimal dose of .6 and each week this increases eg..week1 .6 week 2  1.2 then 1.8, 2.4 and finally by week 5 you are at a dose rate of 3.0. So really 1 script will last about 6 weeks as u arent on the full dose. if i was to be honest at starting week 2 i didnt feel the need to increase to the 1.2 but i did, and if at the end of week 2 i feel i dont need to go to the to 1.8 then i wont. So after my 1st week i have lost 4.2pounds or 1.9kg and 27cms of the parts i measured so happy so far with the results will keep u posted"


"This drug has been helpful with my anxiety.  I take 300mg 4 times a day.  It has not made me tired or groggy in anyway.  I am impressed and glad my doctor prescribed it for me."


"Diagnosed with Bipolar II and Schizophrenia. At first this was the wonder drug. Now, as I'm 1 year into it, my daily functionality has significantly decreased. I take this with 50mg Vyvanse just to wake up enough to work. I can't verbally communicate any more, even with friends or my wife. It's affecting my work. My tongue clicks and my legs shake uncontrollably. No motivation. No emotional reactions except strong anger outbursts. I will sleep 18+ hrs a day if I can."


"I have been on this birth control for 7 years and do not have complaints. I never experienced negative side effects and did not gain any weight. Before going on this birth control my periods were irregular and had been for 6 years. I can pretty much predict the hour I will get my period each month. My periods only last 2-4 days now and are very light. The only "problem" I have had is over the past few years I have skipped a few periods (about 3 or 4 a year). I talked to my OBGYN and he said that is nothing to worry about. Overall, I think it's a great birth control."


"On average, I get 4-6 migraines a month and this is by far the best migraine medication I have tried!  Within 10-20 minutes, the migraine is completely gone after taking just 1 pill.  I turned to a prescription strength after OTC medication, heat/cold packs, sleep, etc. stop working.  So far, I haven't had a recurring migraine either, which usually happens to me after taking over the counter medicines."


"I have tried every birth control pill out there...I was reluctant to try lolo

Glad I did however! It's the ONLY pill that didn't give me side effects and I could take in the morning. Slight breakthrough bleeding every now and then for the first two months but other than that it's the best one yet!"


"This is an amazing product. I took it for about 10 days before I quit. I can't believe that I am not experiencing the anxiety and cravings that I have had when trying to quit cold turkey. I still get the urge for, say, my cigarette with my first cup of coffee, but I just put it out of my mind and go on. I take it after eating a good sized breakfast, and make sure I drink plenty of water with it, at least 1 cup. I have had no nausea or stomach problems. I was originally concerned about the dreams, thinking I was going to wake up horrified with realistic nightmares. Instead, I am kind of enjoying the dreams.  Everything is in vivid color, typical of dreams, they don't always make sense but they are entertaining.
"


"Like most other posts, I have noticed the gross taste the next day. I tried everything to confirm it was from the medication and it was. "


"I visited a rheumatologist the first time about 3 or 4 months ago because my osteoarthritis appeared to have worsened over many months.  I had gone to my family doctor but he couldn't understand the reason for my pain becoming so severe with my osteoarthritis.  I was frustrated as a nurse because I walk a lot at the hospital.  The pain was more than I could stand, starting at my lower back, down my right hip, and on down to my right leg above my knee.  I
cried numerous times with this discomfort.  I could tolerate the pain with my swollen knuckles, loss of cartilage in the knees or any other pain, but NOT the back pain. I have been taking Savella & the back pain is significantly reduced! I do have heavy sweats and  I remember my dreams."


"I felt obliged to review Levothyroxine (Eutroxsig), as majority of the medicine reviews you see on the web are negative. I get that certain drugs affect people differently and we want to talk about our experiences - the good and the bad.

For me, it has been great. It took a few months before I could notice any difference. I used to feel tired every day with an awful "hangover" feeling - and I really haven't had a day like that since. I take 50 micrograms each morning before I go for a 30 minute walk. I wait another 30 minutes before eating breakfast, and I don't take any vitamins until I've eaten lunch. I do find that it makes me constipated, however taking Metamucil once per day really helps with that."


"Librium is the best thing out there. I've drank my entire life. Never tried anything else to wean off of alcohol but Librium. It does make you tired. But who gives a turkey. It sure beats coming off of alcohol with nothing and going through hell."


"Made me worse. I felt worse on this than when I started. I gained bad anxiety as a side affect."


"Does not work. Made me worse!!!! And made me sick. This drug is like poison no joke. I don't know how any body could put a good review about antidepressants I was on 100mg for 6month"


"I'm 21 years old with my first UTI. My symptoms started on Saturday (constant urge to go, lower abdominal pressure/cramps, and an extremely uncomfortable urge to continue voiding even after I was done, and dark yellow/brown urine) went to the doctor yesterday(Wednesday) and was prescribed a 7 day prescription to bactrim. My symptoms seemed to dissipate within hours (was still feeling them just not as severe) I've taken 3 doses and all my symptoms have stopped and I can have full voids. Not feeling any side effects From the medication, but glad to be feeling better. Urine was still sent in for a culture. Been drinking lots of cranberry juice and water at my doctors recommendation to "flush" everything out. Feel much better"


"Taking it about a month and I have to say thank God I feel calm. I sleep good at night and calm during the day."


"Have been taking flomax for past 6 days, usually get up 5 or 6 times a night to pee. Still getting up the same. No side affects for me. Still waiting for a good nights sleep."


"I have been taking Nexavar now for about 5 months and the only side effect currently is the dry skin and peeling skin on my hands. Initally after 2 weeks of use I developed a rash but pushed through it and the rash diminished after a few more weeks. I initally went through a normal chemo regimen for a little over a year as I had my right kidney removed for cancer in 1987 and wasn't about to have to go on dialysis for the rest of my days. I was diagnosed with renal cell cancer in Aug of 2010 and no it has spread to some lympth nodes and my left lung. After starting Nexavar my lung tumors have slightly diminished in size so hopefully it will allow me to hang around a few extra years. I work full time and travel extensively, so everyone be positive."


"Gained about forty pounds, became more depressed, slept all night and half the day, was always tired, getting off of it was horrible. I had headaches weird feelings like I wasn't even there, weird pains."


"I started taking this drug in January of 2017.  The first thing I noticed was that within two hours of the infusion, my sinus's felt completely clear. Within three months I got my sense of smell back which had been gone for 9 years.  I'm getting ready to have my fourth infusion next week and am finally starting to feel better with my lungs.  It's not a big improvement yet, but I'm starting to get encouraged.  Even if my lungs don't see much better results, I believe the relief it gives with my sinus's is worth taking the drug.  I will write back again in three more months to see how it is then."


"This is my second colonoscopy. I think this prep went much smoother than my previous one a few years ago. The produce they gave me last time was a powder you mixed into a clear liquid. I liked that this prep was already a liquid but the taste was awful. It tasted so salty, just the thought of it makes me nauseas. It works very fast. I took it around 2 pm and at around 2:30 I was already running to the bathroom. At first, I spent a lot of time in the bathroom, but by the end of the evening I was pretty much done. I had to take my second dose around midnight. With this dose I was up for about two hours running in and out of the bathroom. I think the dose was too large for me...I'm a 5 ft tall, 110 lb woman and this prep hit me like a bus."


"I would never recommended as a birth control. I got it in 2014 I just got to take it out today in 2017. For the past year-and-a-half I've been so sick. I've been seen special doctors got my gallbladder taken out, and been on many medications because they could never figure out what was truly wrong with me. I had cramping horribly bad and heavy  periods, nausea, vomiting, upset stomach. Always felt like I had morning sickness. Fatigue, brain fog. Finally I saw a link on a website saying how paragard has really bad side effects thank God I clicked on that. I have 85% of all side effects. Found out that the copper on this has been going to my bloodstream and I have what's called copper toxicity. Way too much copper in my body."


"For the first few weeks of taking it made me feel super bad my sleeping was all over the place and I actually felt very suicidal it made my anxiety crazy I couldn't go out without feeling terrible I was nervous to go out and always on edge, eventually it started getting a bit better but mostly felt down maybe 1 or 2 days of the month I'd be pretty happier than normal but then after a few months it died down and they personally didn't work at all like they just stopped showing affect so I gave up and stopped taking them and now I feel the same as I do if I was taking them these are probably 1 of the worst antidepressants I've took refuse to take them again (also made me pretty nauseous the first few weeks)"


"This pill has worked for so many people so I thought I would give it a shot. I go to a dietician regularly for food allergies so my diet is already very healthy and effective. I took Alli not only for weight loss, but mostly because I had heard from friends it would help keep me regular. I will say if you cheat on your diet do not take Alli you will have oil movements instead of a normal bowel motion. However, even in my instance Alli caused me serious stomach issues. Although I did not have accidents I did have feelings that I was not going to make it to the restroom or extreme gas. This pill all depends on your body chemistry. Even with a good diet sometimes it will not work. However, I did start taking a veggie fiber after Alli and it has great benefits"


"I had so many problems and my doctor didn't know what was wrong with me until I went to the Phillipines and doctor prescribed cephalexin. All the problems I had seems t have  disappeared. I wish I got that medicine before. I feel great."


"Just started my second pack of this pill. I switched from tri-sprintec due to side effects from that such as nausea, constant breast tenderness, and increased anxiety. I have had no side effects with Orysthia so far. My breasts did get tender before my period, but I'm used to that anyways. My period started the 3rd day of placebo pills and I had mild cramping. My period did last for 5-7 days but was not heavy. My sex drive  is pretty low, but it has been ever since I started taking any form of birth control about 7 months ago. Overall, I'm really pleased with this pill!"


"I have chronic sinusitis and have taken many different antibiotics including cefazolin, erythromycin, azithromycin, augmentin, and ampicillin.  I have never felt the nearly immediate relief with any of these that I felt when I took Avelox."


"I started this pill to alleviate migraines and prevent pregnancy. Overall, my experience with this pill has been wonderful from day one. I don't have any breakouts, no migraines,  no weight gain, and I haven't gotten my period once in the seven months I've been on it. The downside:  I'm overly emotional. I will cry over a commercial, now. And I'm paranoid all the time of being pregnant."


"Been taking Letaris for three months also. I had some improvement in my shortness of breath. Very little side effects. Taking 10mg daily also on Coumadin due to blood clots. I feel it has helped me a lot in these few months. I hope it can get me back to my old self again (at least back to 90%) no other heath issues that they found just Pulmonary hypertension from blood clots but I am taking A liver function test once a month so far so good but I still worry."


"This pill drove me nuts. After starting the first pack, within a few days I started to feel run down, but I persevered, allowing my body to adjust to it. I finished the first pack, took the break and then started the second pack. Hell. I was so nauseous, I really thought I was pregnant. My boobs were sore, I was tired... I was starting to get really scared. Additionally, I am a happy, upbeat person, but on yasmin, I felt sad; like I have never felt before. I could cry at the drop of a hat, I just felt like I was worthless (having never felt that before), and I could see no hope. It was so weird. My boyfriend, who I love dearly, became the most annoying person in the world. I came off it mid pack and within days I was back to myself."


"I had to pay full price for the Relpax, until I found the coupon for 3 pills a month for $10.00.  Although it is so very expensive, going to the hospital is far more costly!  Recently, I had surgery, and developed a migraine while in the hospital.  The hospital didn't carry Relpax, so my husband had to bring it from home.  When I get a migraine, Relpax is the only relief for me!  Being a senior and on limited funds, I wish it were cheaper! I have had migraines all my life as well as my father did also.  It has been a miracle treatment for me!"


"I had a motor vehicle accident when I was 21, I am now 39 and have been on Dexedrine 9 months.

This has been a saviour for my life in many aspects.  I have never been able to read a book.  Either, I would lose interest on the first line or lose attentiveness because of my sleeping disorder.

I lived with this problem for almost 20 years. I never knew anything different, simply because I've never been one to hang around large crowds to compare other female lifestyles my age, plus became a young mother at 21.

My parents never said anything to me.  They just let me have my 2 hr nap daily to rejuvenate myself.

The other positive that Dexedrine has given me is the confidence to really pursue a career of becoming a Dentist.  "


"I started Victoza 8 months ago & have lost 83 pounds.  I am woman 57 years old, 5'6" & weighed 290.  I have been obese since early childhood.  I have dieted all of my life. This is the first time I have been successful at weight loss.

Yes there are side effects, but with the weight falling off of me this fast, I don't care.   I woke up this morning weighing 216 so I don't care if I feel nauseas. I haven't weight 216 in 35 years.  When I feel nauseas now is first thing in the morning before my shot.

I do start feeling a bit hungry in the evenings when the shot starts wearing off, so I try to inject 12 hours prior to bed time.

The reason I'm succeeding is because I decided to change my eating habits, log my food, walk & drink water."


"I wish I had reported this to the FDA when it happened. I don't know how helpful my account of the side effects from years ago would be now. However, I would like to share this somewhere, as what I experienced is not verified as a side effect but possibly suspected--- I don't want anyone to go through what I went through and not suspect this medication. After taking one dose of Singular in the evening, the next day, I experienced suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and a feeling as if I were being separated from my body (if that makes sense). I have no history of such problems, never took Singular again, and never experienced what I described again (as I said before, it has now been years since I took Singular)."


"I received 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree burns (10% Body - when water was split on my leg and lap) that ended up getting infected while on vacation. I had received some other medicines at 2 different ER visits before flying home (before the burns were infected), but when I arrived at my doctor he prescribed Dilaudid pills for me (2mg each to be taken 4 times daily). I about died each day. I could "fill them working for about 1-2 hours but the next 4-5 was torture. I soon changed to a "weaker drug" that worked better on me.

I have been given Dilaudid Shots of 2mg at the ER for migraines, but when taken orally the medicine does not go into the system fast enough or for long enough.

"


"I am an 18 year old female who has only been taking this for about a month. I've had migraines for about 4 years and have been prescribed every kind of beta and calcium blocker you can think of. Right now, I'm taking this along with Tiazac and it seems to be the best combination for me so far. I no longer wake up with pounding headaches, nor get limb weakness or spots. My only complaint is that it takes a few hours to start working, and then it does so full force. I would say to definitely take this before bedtime, and don't plan on doing anything until you get a good rest."


"I have had mine in for almost two years now and the bleeding is almost a constant.  I am on my period more often then I am not, which of course equals very little sex.  I kept hoping it would change and I would not get a period like my doctor said would probably happen.  Over the last year I have had problems with extreme fatigue, backaches, joint pain, difficulty sleeping, and horrible acne.  I get it taken out in two weeks and can't wait.  Unfortunately I should have done it sooner but I did not think about Implanon as a source of the problems until my husband mentioned that it's probably my birth control and after checking the side effects sure enough all of my ailments are side effects.  We'll see if I feel better after removal."


"I was put on a dose of 1000 mg a day.  Took care of the urinary tract infection like a charm but the side effects were not pleasant.  I had heartburn and nausea after every dose, and antacids can't be taken for 2 hrs. after.  I also had headaches and kept smelling burning plastic.  "


"I Used this treatment after using a few different antibiotics, retin A, some zinc lotion  to which absolutely nothing worked!
I went to my doctor almost in tears and he prescribed me this and said this is the best acne treatment from a GP and if this doesn't work he will refer me to a dermatologist
And my god was he right. This is the only cream that has EVER worked. It burns like hell but your skin gets used to it after a bit and you have to be patient
Also to let people know my ACNE was moderate it's now nearly gone.  The  cream doesn't cure you from getting spots but it definitely is the best thing I've used , my skin used to be SEVERE but it calmed down when I went on the Yasmin contraceptive pill, another drug I can't live without"


"ok I've never posted a review but just had to for this stuff, it has changed my life!!! I put up with hormonal acne for years. I went to my dr and asked for acne medication but as I was going to be ttc again soon he didn't want to give me oral medication but gave me the duac cream to try... It lasts 2 months, and honestly it cleared my acne up within 3-4 weeks... I saw improvements straight away... I still got the odd pimple in that time but my biggest fear was that I would stop the cream and they would all come back. Well I used it for the full 2 months and I'm sooooo happy to say I literally have not had another single pimple since I stopped using it and that was 2 months ago!! every time I feel my soft smooth face I just can't believe it"


"Good."


"Found that this medicine makes me cough a lot (has continued for 3 months)."


"After experiencing post-mastectomy nerve pain and post-chemo neuropathy, Cymbalta truly changed my quality of life."


"I am 17 and have been on the shot for a year now. I already have 2 kids and this form of birth control seems to be very effective. I can't remember to take the pill so the shot is great for me. The only problem I have with it is I can't seem to lose the pregnancy weight from my second child. But I rate it a 10!"


"Having dealt with extreme back pain for years, I finally found a pain management doctor who prescribed oxycodone. I have several herniated discs in my lumbar back, previous cervical disc removal with fusion and have material "floating" in my back, pressing on my sciatic nerve in 3 different areas. Before the oxycodone, I would sit at work and suffer for 12 hours at a time, praying for something to take away the pain. I would rock back and forth trying to take my mind off the pain. "


"I have had incredible results, but at week three I come down hard, the good effect did not last the entire 4 weeks."


"I normally don't do reviews but I have to tell you what a difference this medication has made for me. I was on Paxil for years, regular and control release. I didn't understand why I felt so down when I was taking such a strong dose of SSRI. I hesitantly changed to Citalopram at the suggestion of my doctor and within days it had changed my life. I was no longer depressed, I felt my mood change drastically. My doctor and counsellor have suggested that the Paxil was actually doing me harm, because the new SSRI would not have normally worked that quickly. I have been on this medication for almost 3 months now and I feel great. I highly recommend it, and also for those who are still fighting to find the right med for you, keep fighting!!!"


"I was prescribed tramadol for a torn rotator cuff and bursal tear in my right shoulder and another tear in my left. I can say it helps a little with nerve pain and it did help my mood if I was doing absolutely nothing at all.  In short this medication was not worth the trip to the doctor for my circumstance. Happy that it does work for many people. I was also given Ultram extended release at another time which made me sick and gave me insomnia. I was crying in pain at the doctor's office door before they opened with no sleep and ready to puke. This was my worst experience with any medication in my life."


"I had surgery and from the anesthesia and pain medicine I became very constipated. I literally had no bowel movement whatsoever for 5 days. I started having some stomach pains I am assuming from gas or just being constipated. I told my doctor what was going on and asked what I could take and he recommended Magnesium Citrate. I bought a bottle and drank the full 10 0z. About 30 minutes after drinking this it hit me ... I was able to go and all of the pain and bloating was gone. I was completely relieved. Unfortunately this story does not end here. every 15 to 30 minutes for the next 6 hours I was back in the bathroom and it was nothing but water ... uncontrollable diarrhea. I was literally at a point where I was praying that it would stop."


"I was on Phentermine 30 mg for about a month and then went back to my Dr to get a stronger dosage (37.5 mg). The 30 mg worked for about 2 weeks and then my weight kept fluctuating and it wasn't suppressing my appetite anymore. I originally lost 7 pounds the first two weeks and then gained it back and then dropped 4 pounds again. Hopefully the higher dosage gives me better and more consistent results. I also plan on "upping" my exercise routine to accelerate the results. I was working out already, but obviously I need more."


"I have taken many sedatives for years and this finally taken it's toll on my sex life. Noticed it a few months ago, had the talk with my Dr. he gave 100mg of Viagra. Definitely does the trick, I get a little sweaty and can definitely feel my heart race but makes you feel like a man again! My wife will call ahead to make sure "I'm prepared", so I guess she's enjoying this too."


"I'm 17 and on 60 mg of Vyvanse. I weigh about 112 lbs. I don't know if it's too high a dose, but ever since I got it increased from 50 to 60mg. I've been feeling actually tired, which is a surprise to me because it's a stimulant. I've also had more intense dizziness and headaches, and I had heart palpitations on the 50, but now they're more frequent, and chest pain, heart races, but I'm able to focus a little better."


"First two weeks, arm was sensitive and painful. Could feel the implant but after two weeks,  I didn't notice it at all. But I have lost my sex drive, am moody and have had 7 months of spotting and bleeding. Have to constantly line my panties. Lighter periods. No weight gain. Had UTI recently but not sure if that's related. Hope it gets better."


"I am 28 yrs old. I have always suffered from acne from when I was in middle school. My pores are clogged they just look like bumps on my face.  My dermatologist prescribed me tretinoin .025 cream and  phloretin . I have sensitive skin so I use the tretinoin every 3rd night and the phloretin every morning. I am on week 9 and I have noticed changes for the better. I am experiencing redness and dry patches but it's tolerable. I do have breakouts in different spots then where I usually do. But my skin is clearing up. I am also getting compliments on my skin. I have now been using it every night because my dr. said .025 is a low dosage. Its def worth it to stick it out. Looking forward to the next couple months."


"The comments are insanely on point. I inserted this and as soon as I stood up I felt an unbearable itching sensation. It is super messy and I don't know what is going on. I literally just put this in so I don't know how it will play out but the itching is not worth it."


"I have been on Testosterone for almost two years now under a doctors supervision. I had low libido, no energy and wanted to build more muscle. I am  now 51 years old and  have achieved what I wanted. I am currently taking  200MG/ML 1cc per week, and I am also on an estrogen blocker Anastrozole. I see my doctor every six months to check my T level, estrogen level, PSA and to have my prostate checked. The key here guys is to find a doctor interested in your overall health and not just raising your T."


"Took 2 tabs in AM and  2 in pm for a bowel motion in the AM, horrible stomach cramps, not worth it just use milk of Magnesia no cramps and with right dose bowel movement in 2-3 hours and no cramps just drink hot liquids for a couple of hours !"


"At times I get migraine every day, particularly after I have been away from home, eg. a week or more, then usually I get a daily migraine for around two weeks. Imigran works well once I know a migraine is on the way. None of the preventers I have tried have helped. Recently I tried taking Relpax at night as a preventer and so far it has worked. This has been a short term experience and I don't plan to continue daily use before I check with my GP."


"I have been on Femara for five years now.  I have had some side effects like dizziness and slight joint pain.  All in all, if it keeps breast cancer away I am happy to take the medication. "


"The best depression medicine. I went from 230lbs and was down to 149lbs in less than a year. I have been on it about 5 years and the highest my weight has gotten was 163 which I think was due to my endometriosis getting bad. Works really well and almost no side effects. I remember the first two weeks I had diarrhea that is it. One thing is my doctor increased my meds to 150mg twice daily, if I take them at the same time or close together I have very bad anxiety attacks and get shakey and feel really panicked about an hour. Also I take as early as possible bc it causes minor insomnia, nothing really bad though. The hormone treatment I am on for endometriosis causes bad depression, so as soon as  I stop the hormones I want to go back down to"


"Helps me sleep"


"awesome been using it for years"


"I started metformin April 28, 2016. The first two weeks I was taking 1000 mg each morning after Breakfast. My doctor then added an additional 1000 mg each morning on the third week. I experienced very mild nausea and stomach upset, going into the fifth week I started having this weird thing to happen...as I took steps in walking I would get this quick catch pain on the inside of my upper thigh to the right of my pubic where the leg connects...and I would be afraid to take long strides. I did lose 9 pounds in thirty days. I'm not craving too many sweets as my appetite has diminished."


"This was a miracle that at first changed my life. I went from being always late for work, nearly losing my job to super Mom! My brain was on 24/7 and never switched off. It helped me come out my shell and be more social, more verbal at work. Excelled at work, at home I sucked! I lacked emotional judgment, was very aggressive and easily ticked off. I became obsessive compulsive, I would lose my mind if anything was out of place. 3 years later I just stopped cold turkey as being a super mom was just not worth it any more. I quit my job and my family must just accept me for who I am. I lack focus and day dream and forget to sign kids home work, but I am me. "


"I am 40 years old, I used to be a chain smoker approx (70-80 Cig/day) for  about 23 years continuously, I was skeptical at the beginning, I though that nothing in the whole world  would make me stop smoking, actually I was convincing myself that I love smoking ! It started that one of my friends who was a heavy smoker also and stopped smoking using Champix, somehow he convinced me to give it a shot, 1st week I continued smoking normally, I felt no changes almost but I was pre-informed that the 1st week is just a buffer zone, 2nd week once started the full dose (1 mg twice) I started feeling bad taste of the cigarette and it is not giving the usual pleasure used to give, therefore I decided or actually I found myself obliged to reduce the amount of cigarettes I smaoked."


"I got the Implanon 6 weeks after my son was born and I have to say that I am loving it! It was almost painless, last for 3 years and I don't have to try and remember to take a pill everyday. I had not read any reviews before I chose to go with the Implanon, but I have had previous family and in-laws that have had it and they said that they loved it so I figured I would give it a shot. I have not had any weight gain or side effects except for some food cravings every now and then. My periods have almost completely stopped in the 2 months that I have had the Implanon. I am very pleased with this birth control and would recommend it to anybody who has kids and have things to do other than worry about a pill everyday or a shot every few months!"


"Caused suicidal ideation"


"hi i used this ear wax removal Debrox and know I cant get rid of the ringing first in one ear, now in both this is relly bothering me and I don't know what to do about the ringing  HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "


"Okay, so I've decided to share my experience. I have been on Chantix now for this would be start of day 4. It is irritating, I have been smoking but I'm not getting the effect I normally would. The smoke feels different, tastes different, and I'm starting to feel like they are a waste of time or that I just don't want one once I start one."


"My experience with Nexplanon was great, way easier then I thought it would be. If you're looking into getting the Nexplanon birth control option I guarantee you won't be disappointed. The beginning of the procedure your health care provider will give you a numbing shot usually in your left arm. The numbing part is honestly the "hardest" part of the whole procedure, you'll feel a tiny pinch and a slight burn, then he/she will wait a couple minutes for it to kick in, then comes the insertion. Easy. Didn't feel hardly any thing, took a few seconds to place and boom, you're done. Your health care provider will then place a bandaid over your arm and wrap it up. You might bruise a little but that's pretty much it."


"I've only had the mirena for 2 weeks but so far the only side effects I've notices are increased sex drive, increased energy (which were both low before) and DEcreased appetite. Wow... wasnt expecting those but I'm extremely pleased and crossing my fingers it will stay this way. I've had some minor cramping and spotting every couple of days but no big deal. I will say that the insertion was incredibly painful for me. I felt like I was about to faint it was so bad, but the doctor said it was because I my cervix has never been dilated before (no kids). I would advise anyone like me to not plan any other activities the for the day of, just in case. But overall I am super happy with this thing."


"I have depression since 2007 and already have three relapses till now. For my first treatment, I was given Lexapro and as most anti-depressants it took around 3-4 weeks for this drug to fully take effect. Side effect to me was minor eg. dizziness, loss of appetite. With a combination of exercise. I did recover although not fully, after 1 year. On my 2nd relapses (failed biz investment), I was again given Lexapro, nothing new to me and the drug itself took effect fast and I felt better after around 3 weeks and move on to a new job. Recently due some persistent health problems (stomach ache), my depression again came back. I saw my doctor and again given Lexapro. The effect was good and felt better within 2 weeks and now I try to exercise 4 times a week."


"I've only been using this cream for about 2 weeks now but since I started, my skin has been red, flaky, inflamed. Feels a lot like a sunburn. Hurts to even rinse it with water. Exfoliation, moisturizer, nothing helps. It did help a little acne on my forehead, but the dryness and the flaking is definitely making me want to stop using this."


"I have been taking Adderall now for about a month. So far so good, it's helped me focus a lot. I felt good before in regard to mood, now I feel even better. I'm concerned it may cause libido issues when I have been on it longer. "


"I started ALLI on Saturday 16th. I took all 3 pills throughtout the day with my moderately fat diet and its now Tuesday 19th and I've not had one oily stool or 'accidents'. My flatulence has increased and I have a gurgly sensation in my belly once in a while. Just wondering if these things are going to work. I will weigh myself in a few days to see"


"I found Celexa very good as an anti-depressant, but finally had to discontinue it because it caused excessive drowsiness."


"Implanon is a very useful form of birth control as you do not need to remember to take it. It was not ideal for me however because I gained about 20 lbs in one year from it and bled every single day of that year. I am now back on the pill, have lost the weight, and have a regular cycle. "


"I have been suffering with gastroparesis for years, and at one point ended up in the emergency room because I was so intensely nauseated and dehydrated.  Was given Compazine in IV solution, which worked wonderfully to stop the nausea. The doctor sent me home with Compazine pills, and they weren't as effective."


"Noticed that depakote improved stability of mood and reduced depression.  However, it did not help with mania mood swings.  This drug also totally removed my libido.  I have never experienced such an inability for sexual activity than while taking this drug.  A week after stopping the drug and sexual libido is back.  I would avoid this drug if male."


"Ok, I'm giving a 10 for the experience and not the effectiveness because I just had it put in this morning, first time user. You MUST relax! Yes you will feel a cramp and a pinch, but it's not too much worse than getting scraped when you get a Pap smear or a body piercing. It's literally over in seconds. Keep repeating "it's only temporary" like I did, breathe, do not tense or clench anything, you will be fine! Once the lidocaine is applied, you don't feel the IUD going in. Take a Dramamine if you don't have xanax to help ease your nerves and Motrin. If you can, time your appointment on first or second day of period. You got this! It'll be over before you know it."


"I got on this birth control to regulate my period and get rid of acne.
The only good thing about this was that my period started on the same day each month and it was shorter. The negative effects I had were bad acne, cramps worsened, period was really heavy, and heavy spotting the first 2 months. I figured I needed to wait at least 3 months for any good effects, but the negatives weighed out the positive and I'm now off of this medicine. I didn't gain any weight luckily. In fact, I lost some weight, but that could be a coincidence. The breakouts were the worst part about this birth control, though and that is why I'm not taking it anymore."


"I am on 30 mg of Abilify plus Trazodone and Wellbutrin and have to say this combination seems to be what works best for me. I don't feel drugged up but able to function day to day at work and with my family. I experience no side effects with Abilify except possibly some hair loss (but it looks like most if not all those type of drugs do that). Other than that I am grateful this helps."


"I had terrible obsessive compulsive disorder for about 6 years. I remember that I spent all my night on going and coming to toilet for peeing. After I went to the university I was shocked by the bad way of teaching and bad instructors and suddenly the OCD became worse and worse and the hell was eating in my brain. I spent all my wake up time thinking and thinking about silly things and I suffered from terrible pain in my neck, my brain, and my stomach. I went to 7 doctors and tried many medications before I found Zoloft. I tried Anafranil, Solotic, Faverin, Xanax, Atarax, Seroxat, fluoxetine and finally I went to a very good doctor who put me on Zoloft 200mg with risperidone 2mg. That works as a wizard for me after 6 years of the hell of OCD."


"There are certain things I really enjoy about this pill, it makes my periods very light and tolerable. Off of birth control, my periods are accompanied by horrible cramps and I would bleed heavily for 5 days. On the pill, I rarely experience a cramp and my bleeding is light for about 2 Days. I have noticed I have a been a bit more emotional and fatigued around the time of my period but it's not to a level I can't handle.
There is one very bad side effect for me. I'm not completely sure if it's the pill, so I plan to get it checked out by a doctor. Ever since I started to take this brand of birth control I've had vaginal dryness. I believe this is causing my vagina to tear and bleed during sex."


"I am 22 years old and I have had the virus since 2015 .I started Harvoni on February, after 2 months of taken the pill once a day, the virus was not detected but I continued with the 3rd month of medication  and   now I will do the final blood test .I am really hoping that I will be cured because I really want to put this behind me.  My symptoms are fatigue, nausea, headache ,muscles aches, tiredness  but I don't care because  the result was amazing .Don't be discouraged you never know how strong you are until you go through it so good luck everyone"


"I started this medication on a Sunday. On Monday, I got a migraine. I thought nothing of it. I took ibuprofen, it had little affect on the pain. By Tuesday, I was extremely irritable and frustrated. I started noticing that I had sharp chest pains that radiated to my right arm. I continued on the birth control, because I didn't put two and two together. On Friday morning, I told my best friend about migraines and she told me to stop taking it because the same medicine caused her blood pressure to be elevated. By midnight, my lips and nose were tingling and I still had a migraine and chest pain. I went to the ER, they did CT scans, X-rays &blood work. They couldn't find an issue, but instructed me to not take the meds anymore, as did my Dr."


"I know it's a bit early but thought I could always update as I continue on my Victoza journey. I started with the 0.6 dose on Dec 28, 2015. My blood sugars were continually averaging between 8.0 to 15.1. I noticed straight away my blood sugars were down in the 8's and 7's after meals and in the morning. After reading a lot of reviews on different sites I was terrified to take this. Side effects so far: mild nausea, not all the time, just here and there, a bit itchy at the injection sites, a bit bloated and mild constipation. You have to be careful not to overeat because you do feel full quick. Blood sugar in the morning 6.7, five pounds lost. will update."
