"I have a very rare autoimmune neuromuscular disorder that causes many symptoms, including weakness.  I find that taking Nuvigil 150mg daily helps me with having a little bit of more energy and also improves my mood.  My cravings for carbs has decreased, which is good as I now eat foods that are better for me.   Luckily, my insurance has paid for it."


"This birth control is the worst ever. Why would doctors even allow something like this to be on the market. Non stop bleeding forever!!!!!!!! Your whole life stops!! Please remove it!"


"Was prescribed Phenergan with opioids after highly invasive complex oral surgery. Slept for a week & did not care if my mouth hurt. Best stuff ever."


"At 40 mg, I experienced numbness, tingling, and burning in my toes and fingers. Cold fingers and feet as well. This occurred over a period of 3 weeks. Stopped taking the pill, and symptoms disappeared. I experienced similar issues when taking lipitor 40mg as well. I can tolerate doses only up to 20 mg."


"98 years old with hip fracture and small spinal fractures.  After 1.75 years of treatment, the spinal fractures are gone.  Some rebuilding of bone mass to the hips.  Have to stop in 3 months as two years of use will be reached.

Used Calcium L=Threonate instead of other standard types of calcium.  It starts dissolving in my mouth if I don't swallow it quickly.  Milk is what I use to take it.

The extent of bone loss required massive doses of Calcium and Vitamin D3.  Calcium L=Threonate was chosen because renal excretion was not its major elimination route in a study reported APS, so kidney stones were not an issue.
Received the medication as a grant to low income patients"


"I've been using Nuvaring for about a week, switching from the pill Aviane. I've been on about 6 different types of pills since 2008 and each has made me extremely irritable with horrible mood swings. Not so much with the lower dose pills but still to a point that interfered too much with daily life. Nuvaring has the lowest estrogen for combined hormonal birth control and doesn't go through the gastrointestinal tract, and so far, it's been great. I do not feel crazy anymore. Unfortunately I have to be on birth control for ovarian cysts, so I am thankful that this is available. It's a bit pricy but I'd pay more to keep craziness at bay. I hope that it continues to work well."


"I was on Trinessa for about a year. Usually I'm a happy person and rarely cry over anything. I'm just now realizing that during that year the reason I was emotional and crying at least once a month over the smallest things was because of the pills. I then, after that year, skipped a few months and am now back on it. I have cried over the smallest things uncontrollably and I am sure it's because of the pill. I'm going to switch pills."


"Has worked wonderfully for me! Take it religiously."


"I have been on 2 x 200 a day for 10 months now, and it has not been the miracle drug for narcolepsy that some people talk about. I have given it a lot of time, but still have excessive daytime sleepiness. Works better for others I suppose. Also, does anyone else notice that it makes your urine smell weird?"


"I got my Implanon on 4/21/11.  The only pain I felt during insertion was the numbing shot, but that only lasted for maybe 20 seconds or less.  After that, absolutely no pain during the rest of the insertion.  Now looking at the insertion site, there is a bruise, but it's not terrible, and the insertion site looks no bigger than the width of a nickel!  My arm was numb for the rest of that day, and I have had practically no pain ever since.  It's a little tender to the touch, but nothing to complain about.  I haven't had to take any pain medication for it.  I got the Implanon inserted towards the end of my period. My period stopped and have had no bleeding as of yet. It is pretty soon after the fact, but I am very happy with my decision!"


"8 days on Factive - cured the bronchitis - worsened everything else. On the 8th day I got an allergic reaction that got even worse on the next day, swollen lips, unbelievably itchy rash covering head to toe. Took nearly a week of treatment.  Had to get injections to calm it down. A quick look on the internet shows that this reaction is common after having finished taking the medicine."


"Taking with victoza my blood pressure dropped through the floor, sometimes as low as 90/60. Caused dizzyness and heart palpitations. Sex is not an option. urine stunk pretty bad. Dr has since ordered me off. Going to start another drug or drugs. Feel like a guinea pig"


"I just got my first IUD put in Mar 17/15 and the insertion was pain free because I was frozen but afterword’s was quit painful. I'm 40 with no children. Pain went away after about 6 hours. 1st week I had no spotting but cramps every day. 2nd week got my period, it was a little more painful then normal but then again I have endo so they are always painful and heavy, lasted regular 10 days. Now going into week 5 no bleeding but am still getting cramps every day. I haven’t noticed any mood changes. Hoping the cramping goes away soon. Thanks god for Advil! For the first 2 week I lived in track pants as I couldn’t wear anything tight because it would bring on the cramps. Happy so far as I hated taken the pill so hoping month 2 things get better."


"Have been on metformin 2.5g, glimepride 4mg, Januvia 100mg reading now 6.3 3 months on Januvia for 12 months. No weight gain, no side effects. Was on Actos, gained 4kg, had hypos readings above 7. 3 months all the time, less hunger pain no hypos, best readings in 3 years."


"Aftera are the BEST!! I have taken these pills days after I had a lapse in pills with my Hubby and they ALWAYS work!! I mean it was like 3 days later and they still worked. One time the pregnancy test was slightly showing a faint line but my period came on time! I was worried because my breasts were getting bigger and I was throwing up and everything, but they worked!! The people who say they took the pills and ended up pregnant might want to reevaluate their timing or sexual activity."


"I enjoy the convenience of the ring but ever since I put the ring in about 4 days ago I have had a constant headache, extremely emotional, and very fatigued. I am going to give it a little longer because like I said its very convenient and I don't feel it at all."


"This has really helped with my anxiety. I had some stomach upset (on an off) for the first couple of weeks but it all went and it is SO WORTH IT to feel the anxiety is so much better."


"I was prescribed this for Bipolar I. I am also taking Lexapro. Taking this sublingually is a pain, mainly because it tastes horrible. I am also convinced that this medicine caused the severe panic attacks I was having, which seemed dose-dependent (I was on both 5 and 10 mg of Saphris). Upon first taking the medicine, I would get severe restless legs that would last for about 3 hours. The medicine makes me very drowsy, but it was hard to sleep with severely restless legs. This side effect went away after about a week."


"Had started to experience insomnia about ten years ago after a shoulder injury, even after that healed I had a horrible time getting to sleep, I could not turn my mind off. I was prescribed this medication and had some initial side effects but the medication works for me. I think I have became addicted to it, there have been some days I did not take it or could not afford it and when that happened I could not fall asleep. Ambien gives me a good night's rest and I wake up feeling refreshed."


"This bc helped with acne but I also used epiduo with it. The first month was great no nausea or headaches(I'm prone to headaches). My acne was mild and this pill helped clear it up a lot, along with epiduo. The 2nd month was where all the problems started. Within 2 days of the first week I started getting headaches along with nausea and vomiting. It was awful I threw up every night while taking this. I had a headache for 4 days straight as well. I'm not even to my second week of the second month of taking this and I can't do it anymore it's not worth it for me. My hormones are crazy, I'm not use to being so emotional and crying all the time. I wanted this pill to help clear up my mild acne, but I don't care anymore, this isn't worth it."


"Best Pill ever made to help with all Anxiety, and no problems."


"I had tried raisins, Triskets and other high fiber foods after a number of days of constipation. Hubby had Ducolax for a colon prep so I took 2 at 6 p.m.  At 1 a.m. the diarrhea began.  It was sometimes hourly but sometimes 10 minutes apart.  I thought it had stopped at 6 a.m. but I ate scrambled eggs at 8:30 a.m. and was in the bathroom within minutes with 'brown water'.   I didn't have the horrible pain others mentioned, but I'll be afraid to leave my house today!  Gentle?  No Way!"


"New packaging sucks!! Have carpal tunnel. 4 surgeries. Always relied on your product for relief.

Now, have to find pair of scissors to open package. No more purchases from this fellow.

Shame, love the stuff. Beats Tylenol and others. Called "disgruntled" because I worked for Feds for 30+ years. "disgruntled federal employee..."

Retired... but still in pain."


"I am enjoying the results of Bydureon - 5th shot is tomorrow.  I've lost 19 lbs and sometimes have to make myself eat something.  The Bydureon is helping me eat very healthy, and I've lost my cravings for sweets and carbs.  My sugars have dropped from 220-300 range to 90-110 range.  I have energy to spare.  I also take 500 mg of Metformin twice a day.  No issues with lumps, but the medicine does burn at times when injected."


"I was diagnosed with " Bilateral Sensorneural Conductive Hearing Loss" severe nerve damage from the ear to the brain.  It caused me SEVERE Panic Disorder w/Agoraphobia and Major Depressive Disorder.  My brain is sending me mixed signals. We are still working on finding out why, or if, this nerve causes these disorders they started at the same time I started getting these blarring fog horn sounds in my ears 24/7. I took my 0.5 mg xanax about 10 days ago and OMG..for the 1st time in 3 yrs I slept, had no attacks which I had up to 6x a day, no depression, little to no mixed brain signals, no suicidal thoughts, I'm starting to get functional, no crazy thoughts, I even went out of the house and socialized again ! :) I still need to be diagnosed though."


"Horrible, horrible experience.  I'm a healthy (no pre existing conditions, exercises regularly, maintains healthy diet) female in my mid 30s. Rarely take meds, especially antibiotics, so when I do they usually work well. I was a little nervous to take augmentin because the dose was so strong, but the doc was adamant because I had a very severe sinus infection. By the third dose my whole body was reacting. No relief from the sinus congestion, horrible headache, very anxious/nervous, nightmares, night sweats, zero appetite, insomnia, blurred vision, horrible horrible yeast infection (I have never had a yeast infection in my entire life). Called the doc hysterically crying and was told to stop taking it immediately. Stay far away!!"


"I was diagnosed with cancer 5 years ago and have been cancer free since. But my anxiety of cancer or anything recurring was getting the best of me. I tried ciprilex but I got bad headaches so my Dr put me on 20mg Prozac and I have been on it for 3 years and feel great!"


Herpes Simplex, Mucocutaneous/Immunocompromised Host

"My daughter is 5 years old & has a primary immunodeficiency (natural killer cell deficiency). When she takes this medicine for the treatment of her HSV (oral), her chronic HSV is less severe, and although new ones do form, they fade away very quickly and at some points, her face is clear. She has taken it for as long as 5 weeks at a time and will begin taking prophylactic doses of this medication (long term) by next month. We (my husband and myself) believe that her initial outbreak of HSV was caused by the Varicella vaccine. Later blood tests revealed her immunodeficiency."


"I started using Nuvaring a year ago and finally decided to take it out a month ago. It was my boyfriend who finally pointed out that maybe my extreme mood swings that coincidentally started when I began using the ring could be attributed to it. I would cry and become angry literally every time I had my period, I have always been somewhat emotional when my period started but never like I have been in the past year. I started using it right when we began dating, and I attributed my extreme dryness to getting older (I'm 21). Right when I took it out I was back to normal again. Pro's: my breasts grew a cup size, my face was clear, and I loved not having to think about taking a pill every day. Con's: No sex drive, dryness, crazy mood swings."


"I took Delsym for a cough that was bothering me.   It didn't stop the cough, but within a half hour I had terrible diarrhea.   At first I didn't make the connection, but the next morning I tried it again and got the same results.    It's a waste of money, and there are no redeeming qualities to it."


"I took one dosage, and it made me ill."


"as soon as I Found and Finished this 156.00 bottle of medicine, I had the same symptoms.  My eyes pain and Headache I ended up in the ER with a bill over 1500.00 (ins applied to deductable) and back with the same problem within 2 weeks.  The ER Dr alone charged me 899.00 and was not participitating in my insurance plan even though the hospital that I specifically went to did.  Very frustrating.  Back to square one.  Why are these drops SO expensive??"


"No side effects whatsoever, and completely cleared the virus in 8 weeks."


"If you start taking Ambien then stop taking it you have bigger sleep problems than you started with."


"I have had my implanon in for just over a month now, I have experienced NO bleeding, no pain, no weight gain whatsoever. I have retained water in my face slightly and I am hungry ALL the time but I have been quite strict about eating only at meal times and healthily because I was quite worried about weight gain due to family history of heart problems. In the first two weeks I did experience some mood swings but that seems to be normal now. I normally have a very high sex drive and that hasn't changed at all. The little rod feels comfortable now, I don't even notice it unless I think about it but for the first two weeks it did pinch a little when I full extended arm but not anymore. So far my experience is fantastic:)"


"This was the 2nd time being placed on birth control and it will probably be the last time I EVER take BC again. After only the first week of taking Taytulla I experienced intense, horrible debilitating migraines, neck pain, depression, and EXTERME fatigue. Pain was so bad that I cried for my boyfriend to take me to the hospital, After tests came in clear (CT scan, blood work etc) it hit me that it possibly was my new BC that I was on. The pain was so bad that I missed a whole week of work. When I decided to stop I was one pill away from completing a full two weeks on Taytulla. And just like that from one day to another my migraines and neck pain TOTALLY DISAPPEARED! But then I became a emotional mess weening myself of the bc. What a NIGHTMARE!"


"I had my Nexplanon put in May of 2013 because I am horrible at taking the pill and did not have a good experience with the ring so I figured this might be the way to go. Now I don't know if it really was. Since being on this medication I have found that my anxiety level is much higher (which my anxiety is anger based) I go 2-3 weeks without a period then about 2-3 weeks ON with a period (usually light but still annoying) and the biggest kicker is my weight gain. I am coming up on a year being on this and have gained a total of about 18lbs without much change in my diet. It is very frustrating and it makes me want to have it removed.
"


"Have tried many treatments and medicines. This is the only one that works. No side effects of any kind. I can finally sleep at night, and that is a huge plus. Am very happy that my doctor listens, and kept trying until he found something that worked. My other option was an operation, yeah that sounds like fun. I have friends that have had back surgery and now wish they had not done it. Pain is worse, only different. To sum it all up, I have been pleased with this medicine."


"I have scoliosis that causes sereve pain, my spine is S shaped. its a pretty severe curve. Anyway been to a number of doctors, finally got a PM doc that prescibed a number of pain meds that did not work, I almost gave up until he prescribed oxycontin. What a relief, now we have to adjust the dosage a bit but finally got it perfect, I take 4 40mg pills a day and been on that same dose for about a year and it is still working great, I am not building a tolerance to it at all."


"I was prescribed Rexulti when my daily depression meds began to no longer work for me. It started working almost instantly I have been on Rexulti along with my daily meds, and I have been feeling better then ever."


"great product! Before trying this I used so many over the counter products, but this left me super clear, I had moderate to severe acne, today I get compliments on my skin almost daily! Try it and it may cause more breakouts in the beginning but its definitely worth the wait. I never write reviews but if this can inspire someone to continue finding a solution to their acne It would leave me feeling more than great. I used to cry daily about it and understand how self torturing it can be. Besides using this product, I also wanted to say I do not eat red meat and try to stay on a strict diet, with no dairy, and gluten free foods. I do eat chicken, fish, etc. I believe this has also impacted my skin greatly. There's hope trust me I know it's annoying but with persistence anything is possible!"


"It cleared my skull based osteomyelitis fast."


"After being on the combined pill for 5 years to help my menstrual migraines, a well informed doctor told me that I should have never been taking the combined pill if I have a migraine with an aura because apparently it can cause a stroke.... So I switched to this pill, and haven't had a migraine since!!! (Been taking it for 7 months now) The only thing that holds this pill back from being a 10, is that 1. You have very irregular periods. When I first started taking it I had a period every 2 weeks. But since then they have become few & far between. 2. You need to use back up protection due to this pill not being as affective. But other than that, I love this pill. I even lost some weight when I started taking it!"


"I have been taking Wellbutrin SR for about 4 yrs. In combo with a few other different meds.  I didn't think I would ever find my cocktail. But recently I do believe I finally have found it. So I'm on Wellbutrin SR, Seroquel, and Klonopin. I was taking Lamictal and Ativan before. But unfortunately got the Lamictal rash. I love the combo I have now. I have been sleeping like a baby. No more 100 miles an hour at bedtime."


"Both my husband and I are on Viibryd.  We share side effects such as gritting our teeth and having to take the medicine at the same time every day.  If he takes his even just an hour late he feels like he gets an instant high for 1-3 seconds & then its gone.  He has nightmares, where he see's things & he screams in his dreams but not truly out loud. In the first month we both experienced our limbs jerking as we tried to fall asleep. Now he hears a loud buzzing noise & then a loud bang & he wakes up with his heart racing. As I fall asleep hear a loud bang as if a gun is going off right in my ear and a horrible electric shock to my brain & wake with my heart racing.  We are seriously thinking of titrating off the medicine."


"For a boy (19 years old) taking this Vaccination I havent gotten any bad side effects other then my arm being sore from the shot itself, I took my third shot today and I've been reading a lot of bad things about Gardasil. I doubt anything bad will happen being that I've already took the first two. Who knows? Guess Ill just wait and see what happens. As of my experience for now. Nothing but arm soreness and that's it. I hope everything is fine with this last one. Hope all goes well with everyone who decides to take it!"


"First 10 days were brutal. STICK THEM OUT! Lots of people seem to have an initial period of getting used to this drug. My first 10 days I was unable to eat, nausea, anxiety increased to a point I was barely able to leave the house, crying for no reason. Just stick it out. Day 10 through about 6 weeks I noticed not much improvement. At about 6 weeks I noticed improvement in my anxiety, able to function much better. My anxiety disorder has only improved more and more since I've been on this drug (also seeing a therapist for anxiety). Just know there may be an initial period of terrible side effects. I've gained like 2 lbs, but it's due to being happier & having a new boyfriend because I am finally able to function as a normal person."


"I've been on the nexplanon for about 3 years now and now all of the sudden I have gotten my period 3xs in august and twice this month of september is that normal while being on this birth control.Am waiting for my doctor to call me back to see what are my options any ideas or suggestions on what I should do"


"Hi my protocol was 12 day 500 mg 3x daily Flagyl for C Diff. Many bad side effects. I felt very unusual. Day 6 the pain and cramping subsided. I used medical marijuana before I'd eat the fat free dairy free no raw veggies high soluble fiber diet. I drank a gallon of water after last horrid Flagyl so nasty. Citrus fruits. Bland small snack meals. 24 hours after I had 2 glasses of chardonnay with small dinner. There is hope! I've finally after 3 weeks turned the corner feeling better. RESTRICT diet. You will save relapse. Drink Kefir yogurt milk. It contains live probiotics and supplement with unlive probiotic capsules. Best ones found on colon website are at Amazon $25 for 30 days. Higher concentration called Nexabiotic Advanced Probiotic ."


"So my periods have been really irregular the last couple of years. My dr prescribed Nora-BE. I started my period two weeks after starting the pill and am still experiencing heavy bleeding after 9 days. I guess this is one of the possible side effects but I'm going to follow up with my gyno. Anyone else experience this?"


"Urinary retention was a very scary side effect! I had to be rushed to hospital and I was on vacation in Mexico! I also experienced flu symptoms , one day was so bad I could barely move because of muscle weakness."


"I was prescribed Epiduo and a tablet (doxycycline), together they work great. I've been on them for about 2 weeks and in a few days saw a difference. Although another few days later it's seemed to come back. I've suffered from acne for years and just want it gone, no regimes or counter creams work. I'm not giving up on Epiduo yet, I have heard great reviews. Most people's acne will clear up in about a month on Epiduo. My skin has peeled a bit but nothing too major, just ease onto the cream and it should be alright."


"I've been on this pill for about 7 months-ish now. I went on it because condoms were too irritating for me and also because I had pretty bad acne. As a birthcontrol its great, my period is regular now for the first time in 24 years. Acne wise, its okay, my skin is MUCH better than before but its not 100% clear yet. I still break out here and there which I'm ok with, after struggling with severe acne for the past 13 years, 3-4 pimples a week is a walk in the park.
After going on this pill I noticed I'm very emotional. I get upset very easily, I cry at sad videos, customers annoy the hell out of me, but I don't mind it too much. As far as side effects go they're all pretty mild and not as bad as I was expecting"


"I started taking Phentermine 37.5mg early January 2017. As of today, 3/26/17 I have lost a little of 30 lbs. I don't really exercise, but I am a stay at home mom of four so that keeps me pretty busy. But I did cut my calories to around 1,000, maybe a little more, per day. My only problem with this drug is the bladder side effects. I feel like I don't empty my bladder all the way and seem to have to use the bathroom more than I used to. I'll be starting to take half a tablet next week and then stop the drug all together by the following week. Praying I can keep up with my weight and not gain any back. :)"


"First off everybody will not experience the same side effects from using Chantix.

As for me I'm glad I decided to take it. I noticed the medication started working about day 8. Cigarettes made me slightly nauseated. They slowly became less satisfying and desirable. The urges by then to smoke were minimal and withdrawals were none from the start. I did have some nausea in the beginning after taking the pill that went away after a few minutes. Other than that no noticeable side effects. I'm just now starting week 4. The urge to smoke now is completely gone. I don't feel like I ever want to smoke again."


"Tested positive for SIBO. I had asked my GI doc for that test. Was happy to have an answer after years of suffering. I am also hypoglycemic, so the actual TEST for SIBO had my blood sugar super low...probably 2 days to recover from that! The first 2 days on the drug I have felt dizzy and tired and my arms super tingly (?). But the BM's improved immediately so I didn't want to stop the Xifaxan. Now at 4 days, I'm not sure. Sometimes I start feeling amazing.I am also following a diet for candida and paying close attention to food combining. Just today started feeling the abdominal cramping come back! Really not sure what to do here...."


"I was diagnosed on a wednesday and by thursday I had started taking this medication. It did not kick in until the third day when I finally woke up without a headache. However, after one day of the pill I have seen its side effects. All beverages with carbination are now out of the question, they taste horrible. Pepsi tasted like soapy dish water with a hint of bleach and I noticed the tingling in my lips. The tingling in my lips and legs however does not bother me. I just find that my legs fall asleep faster if I'm not moving them. When my lips tingle it kind of makes me laugh, it wont freak you out. Hoping that by the end of the week the headaches are completely gone!"


"This drug is terrible. I was actually prescribed Junel (which I have taken previously with no problems), but my pharmacy doesn't carry that brand anymore, so they gave me Gildess instead.  It's the same thing, right? WRONG.

I've been on Gildess for 2.5 weeks now and I have never felt so consistently terrible in my entire life.  I take the pill at night on a full stomach.  I wake up in the morning with moderate nausea that lasts until well after lunchtime.  I have headaches and abdominal cramping and gas ... oh the gas.  By mid-afternoon my stomach is so full of air I look pregnant.  I'm anxious, irritable, and on-edge all the time.

It's literally the worst."


"Just wanted to share my experience since reading the positive reviews were the only thing to keep me sane and this worked for me. I was on no kind of birth control, condom broke and he came inside of me. I took plan b about 8 hours after. I did have some of the side effects but also think the severe anxiety had something to do with it. My period was also almost a week late. I know how hard the waiting game is but hang in there and wishing everyone the best!"


"Started taking Lexapro about a year ago. Made me so tired I couldn't function. Felt like a zombie, would sleep for 2-3 hours every afternoon (not normal for me)...then started having "breakthrough" anxiety attacks. I also suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder. Doctor switched me to 20 mg Prozac and life became better. My OCD became manageable, anxiety attacks became almost obsolete. I decided I didn't need it anymore so I stopped taking it. I am now going through a divorce and custody battle (unrelated issues) and my anxiety attacks are very bad. I have resumed taking Prozac in hopes of better days. Day 4 now and have only had 1 attack. Fingers crossed."


"I tried trazodone for the first time last night. I was prescribed to take up to 75 mg before bedtime. I took 50 mg at 9 pm and wasn't feeling tired or less anxious by 10 pm, so then I took another 25 mg. Around 11:30 pm I finally started nodding off and slept soundly until 7 am. I have tried over the counter sleeping medications and Ativan twice. I would say this medication is better than over the counter stuff and is like a milder version of Ativan. It didn't put me to sleep right away, but when it finally kicked it, it worked very well.
Hope this review helps!"


"Been taking Apri for about 2 1/2 months and I've gained about 10lbs, my sex drive is extremely low and I'm really moody for no apparent reason. It's really interfering with my relationship. I also have been having chest pains and I feel a heaviness in my chest when I wake up. When my period came on after the first month I had really bad cramps. The only reason I gave it a 3 is because I have an irregular period and it came on time while taking Apri."


"I was put on Mirtazapine by my doctor recently and the side effects of it were horrendous. Slept for hours on end, when I did get up I was living through a fog. I couldn't function on a day to day basis. The nightmares were awful, vivid very scary dreams that I couldn't force myself to wake from so I decided enough. I had been on citalopram before that and it was no longer helping so I was switched to the mirtazapine. I went back on Prozac and in less than a week I feel better, my head is clear and I can do things I enjoy. I don't sleep well anyway so the Prozac has no effect on that. I will stick with the Prozac."


"I have been going to physical therapy for 6 weeks because of a Bakers Cyst and have not felt relief. I applied the Myoflex twice and no pain at all now."


"Ten hours after taking the first dose I had a pulse rate of 126, atrial fibrillation, arrythmia, and high hypertension. I took no more."


"Day 4 of 5 for a urinary tract infection. I had pretty bad diarrhea with mild nausea on day 3. Painful and smelly urine stopped on day 3. No diarrhea or nausea on day 4. Pretty good medicine."


"Started Contrave with Scale Down program 4 weeks ago - just reached the level of 4 pills per day (2 am/2 pm).  Have lost 7 lbs since start date (210 to 203).  Only noticeable side effects are some fatigue, which got better after the first week, delayed period (about 5 days late), and hot flashes (for real, full body sweat).  Subtle effect but I find that I feel full sooner and so I am not eating as often.  Takes some getting used not to eat just because it is "meal time"."


"I am a 52 year old female who had sleep issues for many years. I've been taking 75 mg of Seroquel about an hour before bedtime for years. I sleep well and do not feel groggy in the morning. My only concern is that if I don't have it either because I forgot or didn't return home for some reason, I really don't sleep much. It is not suppose to be addictive but I think I am at this point, even if just mentally."


"Worked well for me. Lost 7 pounds in one month with no exercise. Haven't gained it back either."


"The side effects are no joke. I used it once and three days later I look and feel like I have a terrible wind burn on my face. Does it help initially? Yes, but the rebound is 10X worse than what you started with. I don't even have severe rosacea. Just moderate facial redness. I regret using it."


"Been on about 6 weeks, do not have cravings like used to but NO SEX DRIVE AT ALL. Only down about 6 lbs overall without diet or exercise, but definitely side effects override benefits.  Headaches, no sex drive and now numbness and tingling in fingers and toes."


"Was diagnosed with hep c in 2002. Doctor says probably have had it for more than 40 years. Like many have no idea how disease was contracted. Have tried two previous treatments of interferon with no success. Started Harvoni 12 weeks ago, was undetectable after 4 weeks. Have suffered some aggravating side effects since my first week in Headaches,fatigue, brain fog and heart burn. Side effects subsided after three weeks but now have returned after 12 weeks. Got 12 more to go i'll make it through. Not near as bad as interferon. Thanks Gilead for the good work."


"Couple more things to add. When you wake up, you'll have a nasty taste in your mouth. Also, the capsule itself tastes horrible once it hits your tongue, so make sure you're ready with that water."


"I have been on Nexplanon for almost 2 years. For the past year I have had awful symptoms. Periods every other week. Extremely heavy ones! Gained about 20lbs. My eating habits have actually improved and I exercise. There is no reason in my life style in which I should have gained that much weight. I get nauseous, dizzy, head aches, cramps, and breast size fluctuations often. I moved and haven't found an OB/GYN to take it out! I am over feeling the way I do all of the time. And I'm tired of spending so much on feminine hygiene products each month. I'm spending double what I did before having nexaplon!"


"I've been on this pill for just over 2 weeks now, and I've only experienced some side effects. The little acne I did have has been reduced, and in the first week I experienced slight breast tenderness for like 2 or 3 days, but it wasn't bad at all. Now that I think about it, I have become a little more sensitive to certain things my boyfriend says, but nothing major that's messing up our relationship or anything. Or, it might be caused by his innocent teasing getting to me after a while. But I think this birth control pill is very good for me, and I hope you all have a positive experience with this like I do."


"51 year old female 5"2 207 and pretty unhealthy. Last resort as I have tried a bunch of options except for surgery. Now the good bad and ugly I lost 56 pounds better blood work. Bad a little tired at first . Overall a great experience."


"This is a miracle cream works instantly. I spilled boiling water on both hands and it instantly relieved the pain and redness on my skin. I love this cream heals the skin and helps reduce scarring. After the pink skin it went back to normal no scar."


"My psychiatrist prescribed Lexapro to treat general anxiety, which it barely impacted, and since starting it 4 weeks ago I've become severely depressed and spend all day contemplating suicide. I don't know if it's entirely the medicine's fault, or if it even had anything to do with it, but it certainly hasn't helped me with anything, and I can't find anything online about it actually worsening depression instead of treating it."


"I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and heavy menstrual bleeding. The doctor prescribed Lysteda 650MG tablets. My doctor stated he only wants me to take 1 tablet by mouth once daily. He prescribed me 6 pills with 2 refills. I took one yesterday. 12/11/2012 around 3:00. All I have been doing since is spotting. I am in WOW mode because I could not believe how fast it worked. The side effect I got from it is a headache. I am not experiencing any clotting. I also take vitamins. Since I have PCOS so my periods are irregular. They started being irregular when I was 20. I have always had regular periods until I turned 20. They diagnosed me on May 11th 2012 a day before my wedding anniversary and been battling since then."


"Helped with depression but caused fatigue, dehydration and difficult urination."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I am currently sitting on the toilet typing this. It was SO hard to get down...I almost threw up. But it's working..... currently."


"My husband and I didn't believe in ADD. My child's doctor said that he would only medicate if my child's grades were suffering.  We postponed medication until my son was in the 5th grade and grades started plummeting. He is not hyper or misbehaved but has difficulty focusing, completing tasks and becoming overwhelmed.  We tried other medicines, but Daytrana was for us.  No fuss to take medicines.  No sudden drop in mood. No depression.  The only drawback was itchy skin, but he overcame this and difficulty removing the backing, but overtime this becomes easier. I would recommend this. Do not give up on your child.  ADD is real!"


"I used the brand name ROSULA yellow cream, which came in a tube, before they stopped making it.  When used it in the morning along with Duac at night, it helped my Rosacea and skin in general.  I went to another brand (only one active ingredient) when I could no longer get Rosula cream--it's a watery clear liquid; not as effective and drips everywhere."


"I took 2 pills and within an hour I had severe stomach pain and profuse sweating. I felt extremely weak and worried I'd need to go to the ER. After about 15 minutes of extreme pain my bowel movement gushed and was not gentle as stated.  I will never take this again."


"For the first month, I had no issues with this pill. The second month, I started bleeding a week and a half before I was supposed to start my period and was emotional 24/7. The third pack I was on, I didn't bleed early but I was still emotional. The fourth and fifth, which I'm currently on the fifth, I started bleeding a week and a half early again... I also have terrible cramps. I take the pill every morning, I never miss it... Will be switching birth controls after this pack."


"Started taking Nature-Throid and haven't had any changes. Added Cytomel and are hoping this does something."


"I started Qysmia 1 August 2015 at 209 lbs. I want to get down to 175 lbs. I will be seeing my dr again in mid October and by then I would like to lose 15 lbs. So far I have lost 7 lbs and I am hopeful, but I weigh myself every week and my weight goes up a lb and back down the next week. A little strange, but I'll keep going. I do exercise at least two to three times a week and I have cut out most carbs and sweets from my diet without issue because I really want to change my lifestyle. I am 58 years old and tired of struggling with my weight on my short 5' 4" frame. Plus I want to be healthy as I enter my elderly years and added weight will only cause or compound any health issues that may arise."


"This medication had been a life changer.  Adding it to the Concerta helped with the emotional sensitivity,  fidgeting and focus.   No side effects other than a little sleepiness and that wore off after a couple weeks.

We recently got the generic and it did not work nearly as well.  We had side effects from it,  but not the brand name."


"I have only been using Spiriva for two months and find it more convenient than other medicines but wonder why every time I purchase new prescription it includes a new hand held device, adding to the expense."


"This is only day 3 and so far I've experienced a little bit of bloating (may just be my period which started the same day. Yay) and super dry throat. My throat feels like it is never wet, so swallowing hurts a ton. I've tried numerous face washes and medications since middle school. Most recently I was using an acne facial cleanser, epiduo, minocycline, clindomycin, and birth control. This was most effective, but I'm still breaking out and have never been clear of acne. I'm a senior in high school now, and just started on 20mg/day. The side effects so far are doable and I've heard this is a permanent treatment so fingers crossed. I'm really hoping my acne won't get worse before it gets better like so many who use it."


"Used 2 bottles of Jublia. Seemed to be working. Then developed very bad side effects. 4 months have passed and I still have the side effects with no improvement. Weeping blisters and rash. Also was not told that it was to be used for 48 weeks."


"I stared Loestrine 24 Fe on Sunday, and stopped on Tuesday. Originally my gyno gave me this to take after a trip to her a week prior due to the fact that I was having an incredibly heavy period and losing so much blood to the point where it was making me anemic. I tried Yaz several years ago and hated it. My gyno told me that most people who don't do well on Yaz will do better on Loestrin, so I was hopeful to finally find a good birth control for me and to also prevent another incredibly heavy period from happening again. I was wrong. The nausea, the most unbearable cramps that would wake me up at night, and the bloating, are HORRIBLE. I now either have break through bleeding or another period on its way and I only took it for 2 days!"


"I've been in this medication for 3 weeks .At first the effects were unbearable ; brain fog, memory loss , loss for words , sleepingall day . I'm going on my 3rd week and almost all side effects subsided . I still find myself at loss of words sometimes . I started at 121lbs I'm now at 116 and still losing . I find myself never wanting to eat . Soda taste flat . I don't mind . I like the medicine . I take 50mg morning 50mg night prn."


"Trying for years in the US to find something that worked for my daughter. Hers is so bad it really fills the room  and now it's totally gone. We are so grateful ."


"After following multiple combat tours I damaged my rotator cuff on my last tour and was exposed to close impact of mortar/ rocket impacts. Upon my return home, I was diagnosed with minor bruising on my brain, &torn rotator cuff. Later tests found pulmonary embolisms requiring u  hospitalization & lead to a botched lumbar surgery & lumbar fusion failure. Leaving me in constant pain. The pain aggregated PTSD, after trying multiple depression meds, Cymbalta 60mg twice a day helped control the depression. However, chronic pain still required pain meds. Prior to the Cymbalta, my depression continued even with pain medications. Once adding Cymbalta (after taking it for weeks), my depression was manageable. Diazepam as needed helps w/ panic attack"


"I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 1 yr ago, Dr. prescribed Cymbalta, got discouraged at first because it didn't seem to help in the first couple weeks, but then after staying on for about a month, pain was greatly decreased. Not a fan of being on medicines, but without it my quality of life is not the same."


"I tapered off it because I was feeling antsy and actually suicidal toward the end."


"I started on phentermine 37.5 on 9/19 today is 9/26 and I am down exactly 10 pounds. I did exercise 7 days for 1hour each since being on this medication.  Nothing very strenuous.  I ride the bicycle and put it on interval training. I started at 279 and currently weigh 269.  Target weight is 190. I do under 25 fat grams a day and try to target 1000 calories max. I've unfortunately had a couple of cheat moments Ughh and wonder what o would have lost if I didn't have those!  Just wanted to share what adding exercise has done for me.  I want this weight off so I can be more mobile and play with my kids!!"


"I got this about 10 months ago. The first couple months I had irregular bleeding and spotting. Then for the next couple months my period was regular. Once a month, the same day, every month. Over the summer my period stopped completely. But now I bleed every other week. It's getting really old and I'm seriously considering switching to the pill. The bleeding is my only issue though. I haven't gained any weight or lost any hair, my hair is actually longer than its ever been. I'll probably give it another month and if the bleeding doesn't stop then I'll have to switch."


"I am a 57 year old male who struggled through five years of college and finally gave up without getting a degree.  At home I would start projects and never finish them.  In my early forties, I finally earned a BS degree out of sheer determination.  My wife, who is a psychologist, gave me an IQ test and found that my IQ is rather high.  I started asking myself, "Why have I been an under-achiever for most of my life?"   My wife suggested that I might have ADD.  I started taking Adderall XR 20mg about 6 years ago which changed my life for the better. I am now able to finish things that I start.  Plus, I don't procrastinate nearly as much.  I now read entire books, newspaper articles, etc., without quitting part way through."


"I also take this for my CP, works well but the side effects."


"My pain management doc has me on time release morphine for spinal injuries because other modalities have not worked. Of course, I have severe constipation. Was given samples of Movantik. I took one pill and within one half hour, had severe cramping and within one hour, total diarrhea. Also had some withdrawal symptoms. I waited a few days, became constipated again and thought I would try it again. Same effect again except this time, I am three days out from taking the Movantik and I am still experiencing withdrawal symptoms...nervousness, runny nose, anxiety, headache and nausea. I have reported the adverse reactions to my doc and will be reporting them to the FDA as well. I am a 67 year old male."


"When I told my OB/GYN that I thought my Mirena was the cause of my acne, she put me on adapalene.  I have used it for 7 months now.  Initially, it made my skin break out terribly with large, irritated, dry patches.  I was only using a small amount.  This went on for about 4 months.  As I understood it, this was normal and would subside.  Eventually, it did, but I wasn't satisfied with the results, as I was still breaking out regularly.  So, I had my Mirena removed and went on an anti-inflammatory diet, along with turmeric supplements.  My skin finally cleared up!  I fell off the diet a bit and began breaking out again, so I attribute the clearing of my skin to dietary changes, and not to the adapalene.  For me, it just didn't work."


"Calan SR worked miracles for me.  It doesn't stop the headaches; over a short period of time the drug builds up in your system and then you can feel an attack coming on (the eye starting to droop and some nasal congestion), then, viola, the headache is aborted!"


"I have had recurrent yeast infections 3 in the past 6 months. I tried OTC Monistat, it helped but the infection came back the week before my period 2 months in a row. That prompted me to see my MD she gave me the one dose treatment and after about 3 hours of taking the pill I had a severe headache accompanied by vertigo which lasted for about 6 hours. It subsided with some Tylenol and I felt a little flushed and sweaty. The headache tried to come back the next day and again had to take Tylenol. As for the treatment of the infection ,it did knock it out but ouch the headache was awful."


"Took This medication at 50mg within 3 days lost consciousness had to go to ER by squad and had horrible positional vertigo resulting in uncontrollable vomiting.  No reason for this episode found after CT scan EgG and blood Work?  Drug interaction?  I'm still a little dizzy 2 days later.  Don't know if the episode was related to the drug but I'm not taking it.  untested..to many potential drug interactions."


"I have only recently started having spring allergies. Some congestion but the biggest issue for me is the sinus head. I have had the same headache now for over a week. Im also prone to migraine and two days the sinus headache advanced into a full blown migraine which nothing would touch. I have tried several otc remedies and of course have migraine medications. This stuff, Advil Cold and sinus, stopped the sinus headache in its tracks and with no real side effects. It took about 30 minutes. I want to echo everybody else here. Advil Cold and Sinus is absolutely amazing!!!"


"My son has Autism
Severe learning disabilities.

I really didn't want him on any medication, cause of side effects.
But my son was having such bad meltdown's of past abuse with his respite and school,
He would punch hard his both ears and face, head,
throw smash things,
I have tried to stop him and he's attacked me punched me and scammed me.
It's very upsetting seeing your son having meltdowns
My son was put on respiritone 0.5mg one in morning and one evening
I can honestly say he's never been  so calm, concentration is amazing, it's taken his anxiety away
He's much better in crowds when walking, when he's out and about he's fine with noises he couldn't cope before like noisy bikes children screaming.
Calm, talks more sentences FAB!!!"


"I was having a horrible withdrawal from Cymbalta and was determined to get off it! After my docs only answer was take Ativan (which made me extremely zombified). After two trips to the ER they recommended Vistaril and it calmed the brain zaps, disorientation and extreme confusion. It's been a huge help!"


"I am coming up on having the Implanon for a year. I really love it but it wasn't always the case. For the first 8 months I had missed periods and just weeks of discharge or bleeding. But after the 8th month I haven't had my period since. I didn't get any scarring from the injection and it healed pretty quickly. I haven't had any real mood changes depression like I would get while I was on the pill. My only real issue was that my face broke out a lot worse than it was before I started Implanon. But now I don't get my period anymore, I found a face wash that works great, and I haven't gotten pregnant so I'm happy with my experience."


"I have been on Yasmin for 11 years now consistently and have absolutely zero issues, complaints or problems. No weight gain, clear skin, and my moods are as normal and fluctuate based on my regular monthly hormone fluctuations. However I see numerous comments on the first few weeks from users, and it's important to know that everyone is different! We are all built uniquely and our bodies have a one of a kind reaction to anything, particularly birth control. I'm a nurse in the public health sector and I advise all my patients to give their new birth control at least 3 months before deciding to call it quits. There's a lot of hormones going into your body at once and you need to let it settle! Good luck with whatever contraception you choose"


"Prescribed Clarithromycin for bad chest infection.  After taking the first tablet I felt nauseous and a really bitter taste in the mouth.  This is day 5 out of 7 and the symptoms have not gone away.  Also had diarrhoea on second day and constant gurgling and wind in the stomach.  I have felt pretty awful the whole time. Persevering with medication as I am desperate to get rid of the awful chesty cough and feeling unwell but will never take it again.  Since reading previous posts some say to eat before a dose and also have some yoghurt before and after.  Wish there had been some better advice on the leaflet with this antibiotic.  I have never felt this ill taking an antibiotic before, it feels like poison."


"My doctor prescribed this medication for arthritis in my feet. It worked great and within a few days there was no pain in my feet, or anywhere else for that matter. After about 2 weeks, however, I developed heartburn and intestinal cramps so severe that I passed out on 2 occasions. If you can handle the side effects, this medicine works wonders for pain and inflammation."


"I've been using Humalog for 15 years or so. I've never had a problem with it. I use an insulin pump and it works well with my basal dose."


"I didn't have problems falling asleep, I just woke up every hour throughout the night.  My Doctor noticed and recommended Amitriptyline.  What a great drug.  It doesn't make me sleepy, but it really helps me sleep through the night.  It's not perfect, but like many folks, the stress of the day, just wouldn't stop bugging me when I was trying to sleep.  I've been taking it for about three years now.  I take two -10mg pills each night and really appreciate the better sleep I get.  Occasionally I forget, and find myself up at midnight, 1am, 2am 3am, 4am ... It's not a great way to sleep.  I haven't noticed any side effects.  It doesn't make me groggy in the morning, though my Doctor said it might.  It's also inexpensive and generic."


"I started Loestrin 24 about 5 months ago and I LOVE it! My boyfriend and I regularly have unprotected sex and it has done it's job so far. The first month of taking Loestrin, I admit, was hell. I was not myself at all. However, I haven't gained any weight and my periods are super light and last only about 2-3 days. After the first month, I was right back to normal. If a birth control pill or patch or whatever doesn't feel great the first month, my suggestion is to stick it out until at least the third month because your body will eventually adjust. Also, because Loestrin is such a low dose of hormones, you MUST take it around the same time everyday. If not, you will bleed a bit within like 8 hours of a missed pill and it's annoying."


"Pristiq clears my mind so I think clearly. I'm able to make the tough, necessary decisions."


"I'm 32 and have been on this drug for about 8 months now. For me, it's been incredible. I am no longer on an emotional roller coaster and definitely more patient and no where as near irritable as I used to be. I'm on a dosage of 120 mg daily. I take it at night before I sleep. However, a possible side effect for me is hypothyroidism - but, I did have hyperthyroidism as a child so I don't know if Strattera caused it to come back as hypo or it's because of my age. I did unfortunately gain considerable weight, but with the thyroid pills, I have been slowly losing it again."


"Love it. It made me really relaxed/calm and still able to do my work."


"I had the nexplanon inserted in May 2015, the insertion was quick and easy. For the first few months I had a regular period but it got shorter each time. Last month I had it for a total of one day and this month I haven't had it at all (which is scary at first because I thought I was pregnant) but my obgyn told me I would havery irregular bleeding or spotting and then it would eventually stop and I think it did stop but I still get occasional spotting but it's not bad at all. I do get bad mood swings and depression sometimes but it's nothing serious. I also am VERY sexually active and this birth control is amazing, I haven't gotten pregnant yet so it's definitely almost 100% effective.  Would definitely recommend."


"I am 21 with no kids I got it inserted April 7th and the insertion was pretty painful, but manageable, don't let the fear of insertion stop you from getting it because it only lasts about five minutes. The worst part for me has been pretty much nonstop bleeding and constantly being bloated, I gained about five pounds since I got it. I had a normal period the first month, but I have been bleeding ever since June 9th, the nurse said it was normal, but I have become anemic because of it. I also now have cysts on my ovaries which may or may not be related to the mirena, but they are painful and I have to go back to check on them. I'm still not sure if I made the right decision with mirena I mean I'm not pregnant, so it's doing what I wanted."


"For the past four months I have had terrible anxiety and multiple terrifying panic attacks per day. I was having to take more and more lorazepam just to get through the day. My doctor prescribed Lexapro. I was nervous because I had read such horrible things about the side effects and I really didn't want to go through it, but Lexapro has been great for me! The anxiety disappeared on the first day and I was more chilled out than I have been in years. I was weak and tired and had no appetite but that is all as far as side effects. I am very happy with how I feel and my anxiety free life!"


"I took this birth control to clear my skin after the reaction I had from my previous pill. My skin cleared up in about a month. I've had amazing skin... but I've always had a terrible period, two missed periods, the worst migraine of my life and my hair is falling out. I wanted to give this pill a chance so bad but this is the worst pill I've ever had and trust me I've tried many!! Trust the reviews & don't bother"


"Uneven throughout the day, especially noticeable dip after 4 hours or so, then wears off gradually.  The directions say to take it in the morning, but I need all day coverage (I have severe ADHD) so I need another dose around 3pm.  No insomnia problems with this usage, though I tend to go to bed late anyway (after 2am)."


"Be careful with Indomethacin. It makes me very sick, nauseous, with a feeling of dizziness. It made me pass out 3 times and really worried me. I did an MRI, EKG, blood test to determine the cause of fainting and it turned out to be the indomethacin. The lesser of two evils, gout pain or getting sick to your stomach and fainting."


"I have been on this for about a week. After 20 years of complete idiopathic chronic constipation I had to take Mag Cit-rate or MOM every three days and wear a depends. It was necessary to stay alive and as I said 20 years (3 trips to Mayo Clinic and no help). I've not had any side effects that I am aware of yet. First morning I took it and had a bowel movement the next morning and it was a substantial and well formed movement. Later that night before bed, I had an urge and had another significant bowel movement. Second day same situation and had good bowel movement when I got up (within 2 hours). If this stays effective and no side effects emerge, my life has changed wonderfully forever. I could not travel before and had to wear a depends after magnesium as I never knew when I would get hit for about 16 hours. I have had no diarrhea with Linzess or bloating or pain. I hope prices go down or a generic occurs as I paid about $350.00 for 30 290mg capsules. Also, I pray that nothing occurs where this shows over time to have any negative side effects. I took Amitiza over 10 years ago and had agony and very poor results. I lost faith in all new drugs as they all panned out to have some serious problems so I waited on Linzess for over 5 years before trying it. No horror stories emerged and now, unless it stops working, I'm truly amazed after 20 + years of constant constipation. I didn't have over two or three Bm'S in 20 years without a magnesium product and they were getting more frequent for use with age. I'm happy to write this because I had given up and had considered having a colostomy or colectomy if I was a candidate. 10 stars for Linzess!"


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency

"I am on this for dry macular degeneration.  Was unaware of any side effects of this supplement until I just looked at the listed ones online!  I started taking gels once a day for about a week, had hive like symptoms on arms, legs; my lip swelled up, and I SHOULD have looked sooner at list of possible side effects.  I stopped taking them, and all symptoms went away!  Now I'm afraid to take any AREDS 2 that my Dr. recommended for fear of similar side effects!  She suggested Occuvite and another brand I couldn't find, told me specifically AREDS 2 formulas.  Will have to rethink this whole idea now!"


"Never had a problem. Not intended weight gain, and periods seemed to turn out normal and right on time every month."


"Doxycycline treats bacteria build-up in the respiratory area.
The burning of this drug is only attacking the bacteria build-up, which means it's working.
As with any drug wait 3 to 4 hours before continuing the second dose; after taking Doxycycline drink plenty water, and wait 20 to 30 minutes before eating, and resume drinking water.

On the second day only take Doxycycline once a day and follow above directions.

Avoid sugar, salt, dairy products, brain cereal, and acidic foods.
Soup and fruit that are non acidic is great.
Your welcomed to look up your own foods. Bon Appetit"


"7 th wonder of the world.  It's magic!"


"Now I know a lot of women out there are scared. I was terrified that I was ever in the position where I had to buy myself this pill. Long story short, the day after I ended my period, I had sex with my boyfriend and the condom slipped. It was my first month off birth control so I was very nervous. I ended up taking the pill 4-6 hours after the incident. We did a lot of research on it and I experienced a few symptoms within the next couple days such as nausea, a little bit of cramping, and I had an induced period from the pill a week later. It was like a regular period except it last roughly four days(short for me). Then the waiting began. I had nearly forgotten about it until I realized it was a past my normal expected period date. I began to panic, even though off my regular pill my periods are irregular. I read too many message boards about taking plan B and still getting pregnant and I had a lot of cry sessions because the only person I could talk to was my boyfriend. I then realized I hadn't been counting from the induced period date and having a normal cycle after that period. I was right on the edge of it being seven days past what my new expected date was and I started to panic again. Let me tell you, it was the most welcomed pain in the world when I finally got it eight days past the expected date a month after the induced period. I had bad cramping for a week leading up to it and really painful cramps the day of. I think stress played a huge role in delaying my period also because I was thinking about it every second of every day. My advice is to try to relax, take a deep breathe, and let the medicine do its job. Please try not to put yourself in this position, it is not worth the stress if you aren't on birth control!"


"My son was put on 0.25mg when he was just 4 years old. It has helped him but he is weighing 72lbs (now 7 years old) and his sugar is up. Now we are on the hunt for a replacement. At least it helped us for 3 years. My son has PDD."


"I honestly didn't have a problem with this pill the first 9 months I was on it.  After that tho,  my breasts grow and REALLY hurt every single month then shrink back to normal before my period begins.  I've experienced nausea, super low sex drive, tender breasts, increase of appetite, you name it! I'm paranoid that I'm pregnant every month on this stuff!  I'm finishing the last pack and switching for sure!"


"I had a knee injury over 10 years ago and was told that later on, I would have Osteoarthritis. Well that time is here along with bone spurs on front & back of my knee. Most times I would just live with the pain but at times when it was most unbearable I would be taking Advil sometimes every other day.  When my brother told me he had this injection after an ACL injury and how great it was, I decided to give it a try since my insurance covered it, okay then.  I won't lie, the initial injection was painful only because I hate needles and it is not a fast injection because of the fluid being so thick you can almost feel it going in and around your knee cap but I will tell you this is the best thing I ever did. No pain at all, going on 3 weeks."


"Been using since 2002.  Has controlled my anxiety.  Even though I could have gone off of in 2005, have decided that it is not worth going off of.  I like the assurance that normal will stay normal."


"I started this medication on 06/03 and I've lost 5 lbs by 06/06.  I'm having a problem with jittery nerves and my stomach feels like it's churning around. I have dry mouth, drinking lots and lots of water. It's been 4 days since I've been on the medicine.  Hoping this feeling will go away soon."


"I had a rheumatoid arthritis flare-up and hadn't experienced relief in weeks.  I took Aleve which normally works, Mobic which worked a bit, Naproxen which didn't work at all, and then Ultracet which worked wonders.  I finally experienced incredible joint relief and slept through the night."


"I use the patch and it has helped very much but also I had problems with the adhesive not coming off so I talked to Walgreens and ordered a adhesive remover (they ordered it came in the next day).The remover works great. I also get the red rash but it don't itch so all in all I'm very happy with the product.I wish I could get a coupon to help with the cost. I hope this helps."


"I am on my 1st dose,  and after having bronchitis for the past 6 days and feeling horrid,  I feel 100% better after only 6 hours.   No side effects as of this time.  Taking in conjunction with an albuterol inhaler."


"Started taking Singulair with Zyrtec 3 weeks ago for a severe allergy I developed to my 3 pet rabbits. No side effects to speak of (I did have a headache one day, but I don't think it's related) and today I held one of my bunnies for the first time in 6 months without allergy symptoms. Now I don't have to get rid of some beloved family members!"


"I have severe anxiety and had horrible side effects from benzodiazepines. This medication has been very helpful. I am taking 0.2 mg. twice daily. Started with 0.1 mg.  I recommend slowly increasing your dosage because it tends to make you drowsy until you get used to it."


"I love this stuff... The only thing I dont like is how it feels like it's burning! I don't sweat at all with it! I love it"


"best drug for what i got,

my attacks are worse in the

morning for some reason

yes idiots abuse it and makes

it hard for people that really need

it, the doctors are to scared to

prescribe it, what good are they then?"


"Wanted to post my experience. I started on amlodipine, 10mg, in January 2011. Everything was fine and my bp was 115/78. Sometime late 2012, I started experiencing lightheadedness, foot and ankle swelling, my asthma worsened and I had severe pelvic pain. Spent three months and quite a bit of my deductible trying to figure out why. A friend suggested it may be time to change my bp medication. I went to the doctor and she told me the formula had been changed for generic amlodipine late last year and many of her patients had experienced problems with it, had to discontinue the medication. I've been on Metoprolol and I haven't had any issues so far."


"Awesome!  Works great! Stop waiting and go to the store. This product is a lifesaver.  Works without getting gas, cramps. Tastes like water.  Simply the best!  "


"For allergies I give this medicine a perfect score, however the side effects bring my rating down.

I suffer from seasonal allergies and most over the counter medicines work, but have limited and sometimes almost no effect. Hydroxyzine was prescribed to me for a skin condition but I quickly realized that I didn't sneeze or sniffle for upwards of 3 days on one 25mg dose.

The side effects for me are heavy drowsiness when combined with alcohol or a few nights inadequate night sleep (where I would normally be "ok" with coffee). Sometimes taking it before bed helps, sometimes it doesn't.

I also feel removed and emotionless on occasion. These feeling gets worse the longer I am on the medication.  I don't get sad or happy - it's weird."


"I have been taking micro for 2 1/2 days and I feel worse than the UTI my stomach hurts really bad heartburn is terrible and chest pain very bad gas pains all and all I feel like crap I stopped taking it and let's see if I feel better never again will I take this my neighbor took it and ended up in the hospital almost died"


"I have epilepsy and it sent me into a grandmal seizure the first day I started taking it. Then I did not take it again and I had no more seizures.
I was taking it for inflammation of the inner ear. It was my first time taking it an my last. It may help other people, but it made me have a seizure. I rarely have them so I know it was the prednisone.
I do not advise epileptics to take this medicine. This is coming from personal experience.
Stay safe."


"I had smoked for 40 years and finally decided this summer to quit.  I followed the instructions and took Chantix for 1 week (7 days) prior to my quit date.  On Day 8, I quit smoking.  That was exactly 8 weeks ago today and I have not had a cigarette since.  The first week was the most difficult, especially the first weekend and having a few beers.  The first few days I realized how much of a habit it was and how I had structured my entire life around having a cigarette.  It was eye opening as I was a 2 pack a day smoker towards the end.  You really have to want to quit though.  Chantix is not going to miraculously make you quit.  Pick a date and stop is the best advice I can provide you.  Be confident in yourself that you can quit."


"I was on my period when I got it (August 25, 12) haven't stopped bleeding at all since (heavy bleeding too) & today is 1-15-13. Here lately I've started to get tired of it. My mood swings are horrible & I cry for no reason (my poor husband). My acne is terrible, I have bad hair loss, I've been so sleepy lately I'm assuming my iron is low from all the blood loss. I can't hold stuff in my left arm without it getting sore. It's terrible for me, but everyone is different!"


"I was on this pill for only a month, when I started to notice that I was having problems wearing my contact lenses, which I never experienced before. By the end of the day my eyes were red. I was taking Orth Tri Cyclen a couple years before and never had any problems. But with this pill by the end of the month I had experienced a real bad headache, sharp stomach pains, and vision problems. My vision on my left eye started getting blurry and I felt pressure on my eye as well. This side effect even continued while wearing my glasses. So I was freaking out because this is my vision we're talking about. So I stopped taking this pill and within two days my vision was back to normal and I can wear my contact lenses again, without any discomfort."


"I was given this prep since my first try was rescheduled due to an adverse reaction to Golytely colon prep. At first, I wasn't sure it was working. I was told by my GI to start at 2pm with the first packet in 5oz of liquid and the second packet at 7pm. I heard bowel sounds at 8pm, but nothing moving. I did have to use an enema per Dr orders however, I did have the prep start working within a few minutes after and as I write this... well let's just say it's 11:30pm and I am still awake using the restroom. No cramping, no nausea, no headaches. It is very gentle. I am a 39 year old female and have a history of colitis with severe constipation."


"Loved it, love it still but no longer allowed prescriptions due to strength & dependency issues. Was taken as needed to treat anxiety and worked relatively quickly, generally would feel better within ten minutes. Took one almost everyday for 8 wks before going on antidepressants and then had to taper off them. Have kept a small amount on me for extremely bad days though."


"Started on 30mg for about 3 months, not much help.  Upped to 60mg, no help. Now on 90mg for one month and my depression is even worse that it was. I slipped into a major down a few days ago, one of the worst I've had in years and have yet to bounce back from it. I have had mild brain zaps here and there since going to 90mg.  Anyway, I am guessing my psychiatrist will try something different.  I have tried Lexapro (helped me for many years, then seemed to stop working). Wellbutrin (made me very irritable), and Pristiq (did nothing except lower my libido and give me a little bit of energy)."


"This wasn't right for me.  Only was on it for 5 doses, so I don't know if it helped.  I puked up the fifth dose, then got dizzy, and almost passed out on the ride to the ER.  It settled down after a couple hrs,  Had no alcohol for the past 10 days.  This likely wouldn't happen to most people.  But it's got gnarly side effects if it don't agree with you."


"I took this drug for 27 years.  Worked like a charm.  Then, my doc cut me off.  Bad drug, etc.  I had withdrawal for one solid year.  I was all over the place.  I even found myself stopped in the middle of the highway for no reason.  I couldn't even work. The withdrawal is the worst part.  This miracle drug helped me but it is like someone kicking a herion addiction, Methadone needs to be taken for life.  My drug use didn't increase so that was not a problem.  I had the same usage everyday. Two .05 mg but the withdrawal kicked my ass. I would not tell anyone to take this long term."


"I have had the worst allergies on record this season. I have tried everything from Claritin to Zyrtec and everything in between. Nothing helped. My post nasal drip was so bad I felt like I had bronchitis from all of the coughing. I even thought I was going to overdose on my albuterol inhaler because I used it so much because I could not breath. A friend recommended Xyzal and brought it to my house one day. The symptoms did not go away all at once but after 2 days on the pill I feel so much better. I take it around 6 pm everyday and I sleep well and wake up perfectly fine the next day. Xyzal has saved me. I hope it lasts and doesn't wear off like Claritin."


"I could only complete the first session. Within 5 minutes of taking the first mixture at 6:00 PM my BM's started.  The BM's continued sporadically throughout the night approx. every 30 to 90 minutes until 8:00 AM the next morning. I consumed voluminous quantities of water to avoid becoming dehydrated. Around midnight, upper belly pain and chills began which lasted all sleepless night long. I did not dare try to take the second dose or I could not travel to the test site without soiling myself. My 9:30 AM colonoscopy was completed but my doctor said my colon prep was only "suboptimal" which resulted in a poor test. Even tho I had about 14/15 BM's from the first dose, my colon prep was "suboptimal".  Never Again!"


"Doesn't work at all for me."


"Pros: pop it in, wait three weeks, pop it out.  replace right away to skip a period (this never really worked for me, but I could stretch it out some if there was a date I wanted to skip. I could never convince my body to skip a whole month. My periods were much lighter and shorter on NR which was nice. 3-4 days usually, medium to light flow.

Cons: NO Libido.. which I guess is what really makes this work, I did not want sex from my husband. I could do the deed, but there was no passion like before. Sex became completely irrelevant for me. I basically formed an indifferent opinion of my husband. I took a break for a month or two to see if I felt more like myself, and I did, but I also ended up pregnant with baby number 3, whoops."


"Every since a traumatic experience at a dentist when I was a teen, I have been a mess whenever I went to the dentist.  Consequently, I did not go as consistent at I should have.  When I made a determination to go back, I wept in the chair.  My dentist asked me if anyone has every sedated me before treatment and I replied no.  He recommended and prescribed Halcion 1 hour before treatment.  I am no longer afraid to go to the dentist!  I wish this would have been an option sooner than later.
Thank you!"


"I also have really bad nausea when taking these tablets, try drinking peppermint tea I found it helped a wonder!"


"Many won't read this far into the coments, but I found Amlodepine to work well by taking it in a different way.  I, too, had some strong side effects on (1) 10mg or (2) 5mg daily.  Swollen ankles were worst,, but nausea, tiredness, etc were culprits too.  I asked my doctor what the smallest pill (mg) was.  It is 2.5.  I started using 4 in a day, but spreading them out.  In other words, a 2.5 pill at 7am, 12pm, 5pm and 10pm (or approximate times spread out).  I now actually only take 3 pills (7.5 total), but still spread them out.  For me, it still has the right effect of bringing down the BP, but the side effects are dispersed out so they are MUCH more manageable.  I sit in a soft chair or use the recliner to reduce ankle swelling."


"After being prescribed Monurol (a single dose, powder satchet antibiotic) for a pretty nasty Bladder Infection, I had to go back to the doctor because I was still in serious pain.

My family doctor prescribed Macrobid, and after taking ONE dose, I started to have relief. I'm pretty sensitive to medications, I usually get the full list of side-effects; headache, nausea, diarrhoea, but with Macrobid, absolutely nothing-not even the weird possible "darkening of urine".

Believe me, I'm a big baby, I'd whine about anything, this medication was amazing."


"I think this medicine is a great alternative to the other prescription sleeping aids. I have had no trouble with it, and on the first day it got me to sleep through the night waking only once, and I fell right back asleep. I'm shocked the rating at the time of my review is only a 5.4."


"I've been taking Microgestin for about a month and it was making me spot uncontrollably and it made me short of breath. ..."


"I take 60 mg of Cymbalta for depression for the last 5 years and I've felt a noticeable difference in my mood (depression lifted). I used to cry all the time for any little thing, and now my emotions are in check, no more cry baby! There are a few side effects, including out-of-nowhere jerking. It doesn't happen much, but when it does, it's weird! This is a medicine you cannot miss. I have inadvertently missed a dose and was back to the weepies, to the sadness. Before I tried Cymbalta, I had tried many, many other antidepressants and they never had ANY effect on my depression. THEN THERE WAS CYMBALTA. Thank goodness for this medicine. I can't imagine my life without it. What a blessing."


"This is my 5th month on this pill (in my 40s prescribed for abnormally heavy menstrual bleeding). I keep getting my period while on the blue pills and then AGAIN when I start the white.  Period is lighter but getting it twice a month seems like an unfair price.  Kept sticking with it bc I like that it is low dose but I'm just not sure it's right for me.  Will probably call my doctor Monday.  Was so hopeful this could help me.  Also.... moderate menstrual cramps experienced on this pill.  I haven't had those in years."


"Diagnosed with ADD, ever since I started taking the 5mg Dextroamphetamine tablets, it has changed my life.I can focus, I have a clear mind, and have more mental motivation, unlike how I was just over 6 months ago when I was on Strattera which gave me testicle pain. But it wasn't right for me.

I've heard about friends taking Dextroamphetamine and having negative side affects which I have not experienced at all. I guess its all to do with how your body processes different medications. It may not be right for them. But there are other medications which could help those who are unable to take it."


"I was put on Zoloft for PTSD. I took 25 mg daily for just over 3 months. It really did help my anxiety and allowed me to finish the school year. With Zoloft I have been a lot calmer, and it really helped me with day to day activities. If you just started this medication and are experiencing side effects, hang in there! My first week made me very nauseous and gave me insomnia. The nausea lasted only a week for me. Even though it did wonders for my mental health, it gave me a lot of physical health issues, so I had to stop taking the medication. It caused me to gain a lot of weight in a short amount of time. Furthermore it caused a slight bedwetting issue and very elevated liver enzymes. Good for anxiety, but my body didn't like it."


"Got a YI after antibiotic for sinus infection.  Purchased the 3 day monistat. Night one the burning was so intense I couldn't lay still,  it got worse. Woke up at 4 am with my vagina on fire. The most intense itch ever. Took a sitz bath tried to go back to sleep, jumped in the bath tub again at 5. Husband thought I was losing my mind. Put myself through the same torture on night two, though I did make it through the night. Getting ready to take the third one and I'm dreading it. Only rated it a 2 because other than the pain and itching I'm experiencing from this medicine, YI symptoms seem to be gone."


"Have used Novolog for 9-10 years.  I has reasonably helped with controlling my glucose but has caused considerable weight gain.  My units are determined by the carbohydrate count per meal - that has been adjusted from a ratio of 10 to a ratio of 7 per unit.  A new endocrinologist has suggested Januvia but the side effects sound horrendous.  The other 5 oral medications I've tried over a period of years did nothing positive and actually caused too many gastrointestinal problems.  Will decide in 3 months, at next appointment."


"My daughter was diagnosed with narcolepsy when she was 12.  Severe and accompanied by cataplexy, hallucinations in REM within 90 seconds, all facets of sleep disorders seemed concentrated in her young body.  She never got to drive a car. Narcolepsy dictated her quality of life.  On methylphenidate, which increases heart rate, for 27 years, she convinced her Dr to help her get in a sodium oxybate program. Sodium oxy dosage increased  per instructions over time, had delusional, withdrawn effects and  slowed speech. 4 months after starting sod oxy she was found dead in her apartment from a massive heart attack.  Accumulated effects from yrs of stimulants? A sudden jolt from sodium oxybate ?  Congenital defect? She did not abuse meds. CAUTION"


"Great so far! I have used this for four months and only experienced slight breast tenderness in the beginning. I am taking this for BC (of course) but also for stage 1 Endo. It has been a godsend in that regard- my periods are so light, I can get away with just a pantyliner when I used to have to do a tampon and pad. My cramps are slight on day one and then gone for the rest of my period. I cannot describe how wonderful that is in comparison to the excruciating pain I used to have. It would have been great to get bigger boobs from this but alas, nothing is perfect ;) Try this for sure if you have very heavy periods, very strong cramps and endo in its beginning stages."


"I couldn't really tell whether it worked or not for Bipolar 1 Disorder.  I was on a few different medications at once:  Lamictal, Lorazepam (as needed), and for a brief time, Seroquel with the Abilify.  The dose was 5 mg since I was experiencing a mixed episode with some paranoid thoughts.  I didn't notice it being particularly helpful for depression.  Maybe there was some slight mood stabilization, but not enough for me to really feel relief.  I was taken off of it for this reason.  Also, even at 5 mg, it caused me some restlessness and a sensation similar to a headache.  It's expensive too."


"I lost touch with reality for quite a while. I mainly use this as a sleep aid, but I am a paranoid schizophrenic. As far as symptoms of my schizophrenia, it helps. However, whenever it's about time to take my dose I notice my condition worsening a lot. If I take it late, I am loopy and a bit delusion, but I hold a steady job that requires us to work late some days. Also, if I am just having an overall bad day, it seems to not help my symptoms at all. I am pretty sure I would be a lot worse without this medication. My insurance doesn't cover it, but I got a card from the doctor making my prescription only cost around 17 bucks. If I didn't have that card, it would be about 80 bucks with my work insurance. 400 or something with none."


"I am 50 yrs old and  post menopausal - basically in full menopause.. I was prescribed this cream for thinning of the vaginal wall. I had increased urinary tract infections. I believe it helps with my libido which had dropped to zero!  I hope this review helps. I didn't have dryness or pain with intercourse. My urologist prescribed it for me. It is really great to have doctors who "KNOW" what we are going through as females."


"I have bad anxiety sometimes, occasional panic attacks. but when I have panic attacks, I have BAD panic attacks. They help when I take one .25mg pill, sometimes if its really bad I have to take two. "


"This works quite well for me.  I don't know if anyone else uses it or had adult onset growth hormone deficiency and also developed this condition from Gulf War Syndrome.  When I started taking the Humatrope, my bone density went from a -4 to a -2.3 and hopefully is still going up.  My focus and concentration improved and my irritability and my energy level went way up!

I have been using it for about 5 years now and didn't know I had it until my urologist started listing reasons for severe osteoporosis and it turns out that I had adult onset growth hormone deficiency.

Good luck to all.  Hopefully Stem Cell technology can be used to help cure/fix us!"


"I recently started this medication after issues with my previous meds that lasted two and a hhalf years. Major improvements! I enjoy the clarity, the increase in motiviation (for finishing tasks and social experiences) and lack of 'fog' that used to cloud my mind. I'm a big guy, so I started on 80mg: which was way too strong. But after cutting the dose in half, I am actually looking and feeling better than I have for years; my therapist, psychiatrist, family and friends all notice an extremely postive difference and vocalize this almost every day :)

Taking it with dinner, though, seems to cause my mental and physical energy to dissipate rapidly. I go to bed much earlier than I'd like to, though."


"I took Silenor 6 mg and slept like a rock but had a terrible time getting going the next morning.  Although I drank coffee I still felt groggy and in a light daze well past noon.  Going to try cutting it in half to 3 mg and see if it works without the groggyness."


"I have been taking Zyprexa for 14 years, my new doctor took me off in October and I was a mess in Dec. Now Feb back on for a month and I feel better. Doc is worried about long time effects, she wants to try quitting again in 6 months. I don't know but I'm stable on Zyprexa. I'm fine and mess without it. I'm Bi-polar."


"Don’t take this for RLS.  It causes augmentation.  Symptoms get better in the beginning, then eventually you need more Requip to make RLS go away.  Eventually, the meds stop working altogether and RLS is out of control, worse than before you stated meds.  You try to come off the meds and RLS gets even worse.
This is very common and occurs in 70-80% of everyone on Requip.

Your doctor will likely not understand and/or think you’re crazy.
Find another doctor.

The solution is to get off the dopamine drugs like Requip.  Get on a different class of meds, like Gabapentin, Horizant, or Lyrica.
Checkout RLS.org for help."


"I only took this medication for about 10 days, but I heard horror stories about birth control so was scared of taking it, but really it caused nothing major, just a bit of nausea that I could easily handle with some ginger tea. no sudden water weight gain, no acne, but I was a short while on this medication, the thing is it made me quite emotional in the last few days and , but probably it is that I am just in an emotional period of my life and the pill made my emotions a bit more raw, I just did not want to deal with that and stopped. But I think the benefits outweigh the these mild side effects, and it felt like they will subside if I continued taking the pill. try it."


"My right hip and pelvis were both surgically modified when I was 5 years old. 30 years later here I was in so much pain I could no longer sleep and I was starting to have thoughts of hurting it worse just for that few seconds of relief immediately after. I went to the doctors and tried way many pain killers until he put me on Cymbalta 1 cap 1 a day and 60mg Oxycontin 3 times a day. This worked well other than the super low energy add some Dexedrine and I was good to go but now almost a year later it has stopped working. "


"I went on this birth control a few months before I got married and have been on it for two years. I just finished my last pack, as we want to start a family soon. I had hormonal issues that lead to irregular periods and this birth control helped level them out. I have not had any emotional swings or weight gain. It was a great, low-dose birth control and successfully prevented us from having kids for two years. The only negative side effect I had was that it did slow down my libido. I could tell a definite difference in my interest in sex on and off this pill. This wasn't extreme - it just took more work to get me in the mood. I'm very pleased with this product and will probably return if the need arises for me to use birth control again."


"Hi, My same is Samuel and i have been on claravis for 5 months now, and am on my last month! Claravis has beaten all of my expectations and helped me finally be satisfied with myself. This medicine is hardcore. It uses a high does of vitamin A to work out your acne for good,...yes i said it, FOR GOOD. I tried proactive for about 6 months, and hated it. It uses harsh ingredients to control your acne until your bodies hormones level out. I talked to my doctor alot about this medicine compared to others before i started. And yes, it does have downsides. I cant fit everything into this box i want to say, but my email is samroxlox@yahoo.com, and i'd be happy to help anyone with questions, i check it daily."


"When I first took these I had no problems I ran out and switched back to microgestrin once I ran out of those I started back taking chateal let's just say it's horrible
I got them December 19 2016 and started having this sticky white discharge then came the spotting I have not stopped spotting g since then it's now February I went from a 38 D bra to a 40 double D all my clothes are to small because my hips and butt is getting so big my once flat stomach is even getting a pouch I didn't get acne because I don't have acne prone skin but my sex drive does not exist I've had vaginal dryness and I feel very aggressive and irritated quickly I'm not sexually active right now so I think I'll cool it on the pills my blood pressure even went up"


"Been taking 20mg per day of Lexapro for 15 months now. Was diagnosed with anxiety and slight depression. Would have panic attacks and hyperventilate. Took about 4 weeks to see full effect. Was given Klonopin as needed until Lexapro kicked in. It has made me feel so much better. I have not had a panic attack in a year. I can actually get out of bed in the morning now. At first it would make me very tired when I took it but that stopped after a few months. It made a huge difference in my life. Did not really have any side effects. A little weight gain but I would rather have that then have panic attacks."


"I suffered my first panic attack in 1992.  I took imipramine for years which got rid of the attacks but gave some side effect and gained weight with Paxil. Doctors then put me on Celexa.  It has been wonderful.  The only way I can tell I'm on the drug is the panic attacks disappeared. I would recommend it highly."


"Before Flomax for 6 weeks I had experienced urgency to urinate, dribbling, reduced flow.

Within one day of starting Flomax, it was like magic - I noticed increased flow, no dribbling, no urgency to urinate, less frequent urination.  Also, I noticed that the muscles in my groin area seemed more relaxed.

I did notice an undesirable side effect though; dry mouth.  I have to speak a lot at work, and a couple of times my mouth dried up and I had difficult speaking."


"Did well on the 1.2 dose but the 1.8 dose gave me significant side effects and they are just getting worse.  I had to have prescription medication for vomiting. Side effects include, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, sore throat,  tiredness,  diarrhea, dizziness. It has been almost a month at 1.8 and I feel horrible.  The side effects outweigh the benefits in my case. I will have to go back to the 1.2 dose and try to increase it by .1 every week."


"I have been talking this medication for 25 days and I still have no relief from coughing."


"I have taken every medicine out there for my acid reflux and I am so grateful to have found aciphex works well. I still have bad days but i've tried to skip days without taking my aciphex and can tell a huge difference."


"My mother in law had cdiff for 10 months. Flagyl and vancomycin were given repeatedly with cdiff returning after a day or two. I found difficid after doing some research on line. Took the doctors 2 months to agree to prescribe it.  She took the difficid for 10 days and has been clear of cdiff for a month and has been able to resume her chemo treatments."


"I HAVE HAD SEIZURES FOR TWENTY (20) YEARS NOW.  i HAVE TAKEN EVERYTHING THERE IS TO TAKE, NOTHING WORKED EXCEPT FOR TEGRETOL.  HOWEVER, I STILL HAD BREAKTHROUGH SEIZURES, SO NOW I TAKE KEPPRA WITH THE TEGRETOL.  I HAVE NOT HAD ONE SEIZURE FOR THREE (3) YEARS NOW.  WOW, OH WHAT A FEELING!"


"On my 14th day of sertraline and I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Admittedly the first week was pretty terrible, it worsened my depression and anxiety quite alot but now that's eased, I feel wonderful! I was in such a state before, nothing made sense - I literally couldn't enjoy anything. I finally feel like I'm going to get my life back, and can once again enjoy the sun on my face."


"I started this medicine for my UTI I always ate a meal with this pill I really did not experience any sickness I was on it for 7 days . I have trouble anxiety but it was not too bad but  it seemed like this medicine
made me more anxious at times then on my last few days I felt a little weird at times then on my last day taking the medicine I woke up with my throat scratchy then by evening I had a fever and bad chills I didn't take the last pill because I felt so bad my head kinda hurts too I don't know if it's this medicine for sure or if I'm catching a virus"


"I have been a migraine sufferer for over 30 years, and several of the "triptans" have proved to be effective as I've found out as my insurance has dictated, but Zomig continues to be my go to remedy.  Over 10 years ago I found that if I took a triptan and lit a cigarette, my heart would race.  That was probably a very good thing, as the choice between getting rid of the migraines or getting rid of the cigarettes became easy.  Zomig allows me to function even when I wake up with a full blown migraine.  I count on it!"


"Omg!!! I thought it was just me, this stuff is awful!!! I am itching and burning so bad it is ridiculous! I have never felt so miserable.. I'm seriously thinking about not taking the rest of this, bc I can't deal with 3 more nights of this torture! I'd rather go to the hospital:("


"Phenomenal medication for allergies especially this year and the past few years have gotten worse and worse. This is the only relieving medication I've found and is available over the counter. Also if you take other medications this seems to be much better and more compatible without interactions and is non-drowsy. Claritin (Loratadine) wins in my book."


"I've tried them all, this was the only one that lifted me."


"Best experience ever. Is this how the normal population lives? For the first time in my life my skin isn't greasy and my hair isn't oily. I would have to wash my hair everyday and it was always frizzy. I wash my hair once a week now and I don't even bother wearing makeup. I will be so sad to return to my old greasy self. I take 30mg 2x a day. I was religious about everything for the first 2 months until I went a little crazy. It was summer and I was miserable with the sun rash and being itchy. After that I would cut back to 1 a day when it got too itchy and too dry. I would love to take 2 pills a week forever!"


"I've had mine in for 2 years now and I have had no issues, besides the period pop ups, but thats maybe every 3 months and its last between 1 to 2 weeks. Other than that I love it, nothing else has worked for me. I have read horrible reviews about it but its not for everybody. I would suggest this over any IUD, shot, or pill."


"I started taking Adipex 2 weeks ago. I weighed in at 232 lbs. As of today I weigh 222 lbs. So I've lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks. I tried taking Alli in January along with the Special K diet and exercise and lost maybe 5 lbs. I am so excited about Adipex. It has helped me cut my portions down. I still eat normal food, just not as much. I have to force myself to eat. So far the only side effects I've had is dry mouth, but that has helped me drink lots of water. I've also had a little constipation. I have stopped drinking Coke. I have had some, but I don't have the desire to drink it. If I get a coke from somewhere I only have like 3 sips out of it and end up throwing it out. I love Adipex."


"I use it for long-term muscle swelling and back discomfort. It works pretty good for the most part, it doesn't fix all the pain, but it definitely makes it more tolerable."


"Smoked for 48 1/2 years - took Chantix for 6 weeks - 1 extreme dream and the rest were just vivid fun dreams. No other side effects. I have been smoke free now for 71 days and will be smoke free for the rest of my life. Like my doctor told me - Your mental outlook will have a lot to do with the "side effects"  if it's really what you want to do. Each person is different - try it - if it doesn't work for you - try some thing else."


"I had been abusing Vicodin for 10 years!  Stopped and it threw me into an AWFUL depression. My doctor put me on 60mg of Cymbalta.  It took me a full month BUT the change was nothing less then AMAZING. It was as if a light went off and BAM I woke up one day and was ME again. For me this was a life saver medication. Been on this medicine for 42 days now."


"I've been on epclusa 7 weeks now. It has been difficult for me...I won't lie. Joint pain, toe and fingertip neuropathy, constant ear ringing, insomnia. Much better than interferon/riba that I did in 2003...I'm so tired I can't keep my eyes open. But my numbers looked good...hoping the side effects resolve once I stop the medication. No prior health issues. Genotype 3."


"I began taking Mononesse April 28th 2015. I was admitted to the hospital on June 10th with an arterial blood clot and hundreds of small clots in my right foot. It had cut off ALL blood flow to my foot. The doctors tried everything to get rid of the clots. They got the one in my artery to break up but couldn't get the ones in my foot as some were as small as a hair follicle. June 23rd I was in surgery having a below the knee amputation. I am 33 years old and been an athlete my whole life. So physically I have always been strong, so I expected no problems there. Whew, it is definitely a lot harder than what I expected. It has affected my entire life, as I have had to learn to do everything differently. No person should ever have to go thru it"


"worked well for a month then I quickly ramped up to a manic episode"


"I used Malarone for over a year while living in West Africa and found it to be effective with the only side effect being the occasional bad dream.  It would be my choice for an anti-malarial were I to return there."


"Parnate is a great medicine. It will mess with your sleep cycle and cause severe insomnia but other than that it's great. It improves mood, lowers anxiety (not perfectly but enough), improves sex drive, it gives you energy and in my case I welcomed slight weight loss. I've taken up to 40mg day. It's very important to take Parnate either in the morning or at 2pm. If taken in morning may cause drowsiness at ~2pm. TAKE FOOD WARNINGS SERIOUSLY. If I eat the wrong food my blood pressure definitely increases."
