"I was put on Lexapro 4 years ago. I didn't think it was doing anything except keeping me from having to run to the bathroom all the time after an intestinal infection. It did a good job at that but 3 months ago I did not have the money for the copay and thought I could do without it. I was so wrong. I am so depressed and anxious I can barely stand it.  I started back on it last night and hope it kicks in soon. If this Lexapro helps again I do not plan on going off it again. The side effects are minimal. "


"Has anyone noticed that Requip XL has more side effects than regular Requip? May doctor has been giving me samples of Requip XL to take instead of my regular requip (insurance will not pay for Requip XL). I take 6mg per day and have taken for many years.  My dosage has been as much as 12 mg. but have reduced the dosage to get down to 6 mg.  I still have breakthrough restless legs even when I take my medicine on schedule and sometimes when I do not take my medicine on time I will have restless legs for hours after I take my dose.

I am having severe nausea, vomiting, sweats, flushing, hot flashes, dizziness, tiredness, etc. "


"This pill did not work and I'm so upset. I took the pill within 3 hours of having sex and 2 weeks later my period did not show up. I took 2 tests and now I'm pregnant. I want my money back! Aftera does not work like Plan B."


"I smoked on and off since I was 19.  I am now 48.  I started Chantix on 7/2/15 and my last cigarette was on 7/8/15.  So far so good!  I tried Chantix about 6 months ago and kept smoking thinking that I would "miraculously" stop smoking.  That's not possible if you keep buying cigarettes!  This time, I started off with the 1mg 2x a day...not the "starter pack" and I think that made a difference for me.  It worked a lot quicker.  It is now only $30 copay on my insurance so I decided to try again and it is working."


"No major side effects after 3 weeks.  Some extra gas to deal with.  Sleeping great and more energy so I hope it's working.   I will soon have lab work at 4 weeks.  Diagnosed 11/2016.  Type 2B."


"Started taking Buspar to cope with the increased anxiety that Welbutrin gave me. I eventually got off Welbutrin because of the awful side effects, but stayed on the Buspar. It definitely helps to relax me mentally. I feel physically relaxed too, and my anxious habits such as bouncing my leg and drumming my fingers have been reduced, plus some of the racing thoughts and constant worrying have been dulled (although not completely cured.) The only side effect so far has been slight dizziness at times  and I feel slightly less coordinated at times. This hasn't been a deal breaker at all, however, and I'm sure these symptoms will go away with time. I'd recommend this for mild anxiety."


"Love this medication, after 2-3 years of severe long lasting manic episodes finally decided to take meds full time. Hardly any side effects, very hungry, simply eat normally and you wont put weight on, the medication doesn't make you fat, eating does. Occasionally very tired and my stomach from time to time gets a little funny, just take with lots of water and food. Very calm, can concentrate, no racing thoughts, level, basically gave me my life back, works well at 750 even though I'm 80kgs, Dr upped me to 1000mg but felt too sedated so dropped back down. I move to 1000mg if I feel like I'm starting to drift a little for a few weeks then move back. However, this is the 7th med I have tried, all others have failed, never write one med off"


"I was on the depo shot for two years but when I started moving  house a lot it was impossible for me to make my appointment every three months. So I switched to this. It was bruised when I first got it for about a week but it was one of those bruises that didn't hurt. I've had maybe one or two periods since I've had this put in my arm sometimes the last one went on for a couple weeks but it was on and off and very light. I will say I've been maybe a little depressed since I've had this but I also have depression so I don't know if it's from this or not .  I really haven't had any issues , no weight gain or anything since getting it. Honestly I love it and highly recommend it ."


"I went on Tri-Sprintec for acne and irregular periods, and it has definitely helped me regulate both. Upon being prescribed this particular BC I was terrified because of all of the negative reviews, so I figured I'd share my positive experience for someone who was in my position. The only noticeable side effect I've had is a bit of chest acne (which I never had before), but as I'm only on my third pack now I'm hoping it will eventually clear up!"


"This works better than any other depression medicine I've ever taken."


"I have had the Implanon for about 5 months now, and its great! I only spot for about a day or two each month and thats it. I have actually lost weight since then as well. Nothing has really changed with me since I got it. No mood swings or acne."


"I started taking Sprintec to avoid pregnancy and regulate my periods. I finished 2 packs already and I just started my third this week. I started the pack two weeks after my period and I did get my period 2 weeks late but it was super heavy the first two days and I have really bad cramps. I got my period late again last month but that was my fault for not keeping up with my pills and my period wasn't as bad this time. It's the third month and now I noticed that I gained weight but not a dramatic amount and I have gone up a size in my bra cup and my underwear and jeans. I do tend to get moodier than what I used to but it's not as dramatic. That's only been about 3x. My sex drive has not changed. It might have even increased a bit. I'm 19."


"I'm a sophomore. My freshman year was horrible though. I was always self-conscious about my acne. It even got to the point where I would carry a small mirror everywhere and I would just look at myself to make sure I didn't get another pimple. Both my mom and my doctor told me to go on the pill (also my period was so irregular i once got it for a whole month and then I wouldn't have it for months) but I was so scared because I thought I was going to break out so badly at the beginning. My mom got so worried about me having my period for so long that she forced me to take it. It was the best decision of my life. I advice anyone with acne problems to take it it can be scary at the beginning but please it will help you. Good luck:))"


"I used NuvaRing for about 18 months.  Very effective birth control, easy to use, easy to remember.  Most of the time, you forget it's there.  I did feel it during sex and sometimes my partner did as well.  Easy fix - simply remove right before he enters you and promptly replace after sex.

I'm finally realizing I may have had some side effects. I was very emotional - crying a lot and feeling anxious (on edge) at times, often feeling a significant lack of energy/motivation. All this was unusual for me and now I'm realizing that maybe it caused me to have some mild depression.

Also, I had perpetual discharge. I'm not sure I would go so far as to call it a yeast infection because there wasn't any burning or itching...just the discharge everyday."


"I was prescribed on a Tuesday to take Cefdinir for a sinus infection (alongside a steroid which I only took for a day). Tuesday went fine, I felt better. Wed PM before my fourth dosage, I had intense stomach pain (I can normally handle stomach pain/cramps) and was advised to eat something. Felt better and took my 4th pill. Woke up around 3 am Thursday and I could taste the pill in my mouth (indigestion/reflux). Pushed it off, went to sleep, and woke up an hour later and I thought I was dying on the toilet. Stomach pain, diarrhea & vomiting (at the same time) and this weird finger cramp where I couldn’t move my fingers, along with panic/shallow breathing. This lasted off and on for almost two hours (mostly diarrhea) and I was too scared to finish the RX."


"At first I thought it was awful. I had a period for a month straight mood swings and a little weight gain but now that my body has got used to it, it is great. I have no periods at all. If you can tough it out for those first few months it's great."


"I completely rely on Imitrex. Once I had this the day-long headaches are gone. I now know that what I used to call "sinus headaches" were migraines I had since a teenager, though not bad until into my 40s. My side effects are a little sleepiness and maybe some tiredness, but nothing compared to the debilitation of a migraine. However I am much more aggressive with eliminating triggers, particularly MSG and processed foods, and this helps. My better diet has reduced my need for Imitrex down to 2-3 times a month."


"I Googled "aspirin withdrawal" and found this posting to be completely uninformative for my situation. For the past two years, under doctor's orders I've been taking 6 standard aspirin (ASA) tablets a day, two tablets in the morning, afternoon, and at bedtime, as part of my pain management protocol. (I'm allergic to tylenol.) I'm having surgery in less than a week, and as part of my surgery preparations I've had to quit taking ASA cold turkey. I'm experiencing many symptoms that are similar to drug withdrawal, and trying to find out if suddenly stopping ASA is causing my symptoms."


"after 18 if 24 wks on Harvoni I had to stop treatment.

Had second gastric bleed due to required reduction of Protonix meds.

My kidneys declined 5 mo steadily to alarming 4b status.

New rounds of fatigue and painful joints & muscle cramps.

After 2 wks I'm finally having more good than bad days and mental clarity improving

I only hope my next test still shows remission."


"I have been suffering from ED for along time. I was very upset as anyone else would be. A week before my 52nd birthday my significant other gifted me with Viagra. Though it worked fine, there were lots of constraints like timing the act, restricting on meal and the duration it lasted. And on my birthday we tried Cialis. Believe me we partied all night, looked like it's never going to end. I had the best night ever. Though both these drugs come with headache as side effect, in my case, I vote for Cialis for it's convenience. Though it's expensive, the return on investment is too good to weigh on its cost. Good luck guys. Go back to your youth in this time machine- CIALIS"


"I started with 5mg then went to 10mg. I thought it was a great improvement. However, I started getting severe nausea that didn't go away after a month. I had to stop taking it, but I'm still having the nausea 3 weeks later. "


"After 41+years on various meds many included this one.  Unfortunately, it must be monitored closely and depending on factors like body weight, other meds taken, caffeine intake, and more, it can be a difficult balancing act.  Dilantin toxicity has happened and is a living hell for all.  The med can be good to stop nocturnal tonic clonics if you are having those, which are life-threatening.  Do your research, make sure dilantin levels are taken periodically at trough and consider more than just the 20 max if you take a does afterward.  Make sure you have a liver profile taken periodically.  A doc may have to be reminded but it's best to have one who knows meds and does bloodwork regularly. Find a good epileptologist you get along with."


"I have anxiety and depression. 43yr old white male, healthy. I was hesitant to take any medication but having lived with low>mid level generalized anxiety disorder my whole life, I was tired of it and the ways that anxiety compromised my life and created depression.  Take 10mg.  Took a few weeks for it to work but has made a real positive difference.  It's like the anxiety gas-pedal which was usually pressed ON has been reduced significantly, but very subtle.  I still feel the full range of emotions. Just the background anxiety "hum" and the bad habits and destructive thinking that anxiety creates has been lessened.  Very few side effects-delayed ejaculation (not a bad thing), vivid dreams (fine with that).  Work in creative field, worried about getting numbed out, but that doesn't happen."


"I have been on Trulicity for 5 weeks, lost 6 pounds w/o exercise. No major complaints other than sharp pains in stomach area, almost like pregnancy contractions....not cool."


"My son had a tough case of seizures, that generally occurred overnight, and we had difficulty achieving seizure control.  After exhausting many meds, a doctor told us we'd have a 3% chance of finding a medicine that would control his seizures.  The seizures started right when he turned 4, he's now 5.  Eventually the cocktail of Fycompa and oxcarbazepine did the trick;  10 months seizure free and counting.  Also interesting to note is that he and I both have a genetic variant of unknown significance on the CACNA1A gene.  I've never had seizures but he has.  He is experiencing side effects, most noticeably, he gets groggy after taking the Fycompa and oxcarbazepine before bed.  Also mood swings and behavior but part of that is being 5."


"I take Bidil three times a day but only a half pill each time. And though it's working it makes me feel like crap. I'm lathargic, tired, and can't control my body movements. This has lasted for months. I hope they stop soon, it's hard to function on this pill."


"I have esphogeal cancer, having radiation daily and chemo weekly.  This medicine is so precise about keeping the nausea and vomiting down I can tell exactly when a dose is due.  1 every 12 hours. I am thankful this medicine is there.  The side effects are very bearable (unknown concerning liver).  It is very expensive but if you have a severe issue - the money is not your main concern.  If you have cancer, there are agencies that can help with the drug cost.  Try AM Cancer Soc.  Maybe they can help guide you. Keep your spirits up and prayers in your daily life.  Take Care."


"I've been taking bydureon for about 4 months. I don't follow any diets. I take the shot once a week and for 3 days I can't stand food. I've lost 45 lbs so far and although its awesome that the pounds are coming off the side effects I don't care for. I'm not a fan of needles and I have awful pains in my stomach aside from that my blood sugar readings are average in the 85 to 110 range. My A1C is 7.0 from 8.5"


"If you already have a lot of personality, this pill probably isn't for you. Mood switches were very common. I'm talking 0 to mega alpha psychotic in oscillations. Taking it at night had a caffeine-like effect. Cramping during the beginning of my cycle was almost negligent. Appetite was ravenous then leveled off towards the end of the pack. Libido was slightly decreased as well as slight vaginal dryness."


"I have had depression for over two years and have tried three other antidepressants with little to no success before using Wellbutrin. I have taken Wellbutrin for several months and it is the only antidepressant I've used that has given me no side effects and a signficantly improved mood. I still don't feel as driven and passionate about things as I once was, but at least I have some of my motivation and energy back, which is an improvement from none whatsoever. It's no cure, but I have gradually been feeling so much more emotionally stable since starting this medication."


"You know, I wasn't sure what to rate this. In terms of effectiveness, definitely very much so. But in terms of the quality of life after taking this for a year and a half, I'm not sure it's worth it. It acted as a number for me. I don't remember many months of my life while taking this pill. The memory loss scares me sometimes. But I like to think I was just coasting, softly through time. Maybe that's what I needed from this pill during that time of my life, however. Anyway - I don't take this anymore. I have been switched to Lithium, which has been my slow but sure savior. Overall, Effexor XR is a strong medication for strong emotions, but you lose a part of who you are along with it."


"My doctor was pretty hesitant to try me on this but was quick to mention weight loss surgery. I'm 25, 5'8" with a starting weight of 250 (June 8th). I began the low dose of the trial of June 13th and weighed yesterday at 241.5 (8.5 lbs!). Soda tastes flat and so does alcohol. Huge bonus since soda was my vice. Drinking lots of water due to dry mouth. I have felt a little tired, but it's tolerable. My hands and face feel tingly today. hopefully that passes because that is pretty annoying. I had a slight headache the first two days, but that went away with Aleve. I see my doctor on the 26th for a 30 day fill. Hopefully the weight loss continues. I don't plan on taking for more than a couple months. Will update."


"I was on Lyrica and had extreme cankles (swollen ankles) and 20 pound weight gain!  I am on Horizant now and lost the weight and lost the shingles pain too.  So thankful that my Dr switched me and that my ServU Pharmacy saved me money."


"I had such terrible pain and lost my ability to walk.  My Doctor put me on cymbalta and within 48 hours my pain had decreased.  I had to up my dose from 20 to 30 and everything is fine and I am walking and my back and pelvis pain had greatly decreased.  Thank God for the drug cymbalta."


"I am a 18 year old male. I have been on Remicade for about a year now. I got Uveitis about 4 years back. My thing, according to the doctors is chronic bilateral panuveitis. I have in both my eyes. I had been on so many medications including 6 months on steroids. But miracle came with Remicade - my inflammation is under control now. I will be on it for about a year or two more."


"I've gotten cold sores for years. I've had some disfiguring experiences with larger ones that scab over on or around my lips. They started in my 30's and over thirty years, have always been with me. Sometimes I go for 7-8 months without being affected but they never cease completely. There are times when I get one, it runs its course for about 10 days, then in a week or two, get another that can be more severe. Generally, it works well. Although it is still effective at controlling an outbreak and reducing healing time, it is far from a cure and outbreaks can still result in blisters even when taken A.S.A.P. after first signs. TIMING IS IMPORTANT. Take at first tingle is a good rule but if outbreak occurs during sleep, not much can be done."


"I got the implanon in 2014 and for a long time I loved it. It's a highly effective method of birth control, and for almost a year I had no period. But then my period started back up again, happening at weird times and happening for WEEKS at a time. Sometimes I'd get off my period and then and up bleeding the next week. It was terrible. But what was worse was the weight gain. I probably gained 20 pounds. I actually do exercise frequently. I walk almost every night for about 3 miles and then a few times a week I'll go to the gym. But I wasn't losing any weight! And it gave me acne like all the time. 10/10 would not recommend."


"I had severe tardive dyskinesia due to this medication within a few doses of taking it."


"I am on my 2nd shot of Lupron and I am not liking the new me. Everyone says after the first 6 weeks it gets better. I don't know if I can take anymore or if anyone else can take my mood swings. I am very hormonal, frustrated all the time and mad about everything. My job and family are suffering. The hot flashes are constant I am miserable. I don't think I will continue with the other shots."


"Hi ladies! I'm checking in for my 3 months experience with Skyla. My first month consisted of very bad cramps and my period seem to last for two weeks non-stop. My second month was better in cramping (little to none) and a week of bleeding with two days in between where I did not bleed at all. My period is pretty irregular, I dont really know when it comes until the day before I get extremely emotional and start bitching at my boyfriend haha. He helps me keep count and tell me when I start acting different and he's been right so far. I would get my period the next day or few days after that. I don't feel cramping unless I am on my period but it was only got 3 days max. Taking midol was a life saver because it took the pain completely away!"


"I've had horrible acne since 4th grade (now in 11th grade) and was also extremely self conscious, since I was way before my peers. My doctor put me on Accutane and it worked wonders. My skin was completely cleared and I was thrilled. After a few months off of it I began to notice some new pimples, so I contacted my dermatologist. She put me on Onexton. Within 2 days the pimples I had were completely gone. I have been putting it on ever since and have had no problems. I would recommend using it with a moisturizer.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND"


"My Doctor gave me samples dues to a recent ED issue, we tried it last night and all I can is wow. It works better than expected. I will say, this is not for daily use. There are minimal side effects like headache and stuffy nose in the morning. The positive effects lasted at least 12 hours. I just hope my insurance will cover it."


"I am rarely ill so have not taken a lot of medications; I also have a sensitivity to medications.  I told this to the prescribing physician when seen for bronchitis. She prescribed avelox and by day 3 I had developed large red welts; went back to the Doctor who determined it was erythema nodosum.  Avelox was overkill for someone like me - it was way to strong and this was a horrible side effect."


"I have struggled with acne for years now, and after going through many different topical creams and cleansers, my derm finally prescribed me this pill. It really helped clear up my acne, but a month after I stopped using it, my acne came back . Albeit the acne was much less and just a little whitehead here and there but it was still disappointing. I had a lot of negative side effects while using including: increased redness in the face, increased sensitivity to sun, rashes on arms and hands and dryness of lips and skin. Overall, it got rid of most of my acne which was a godsend, but the side effects were nasty and I still have little whiteheads here and there. But my self confidence sky rocketed and I feel much better after taking it."


"From reading the reviews on this page, it sounds as Epiduo only works for some. Been suffering from Acne for 15 years and after 1 day using this, i saw the change. Now its only been 5 days of using this and its cleared up significantly. If it doesn't work for you, go back to your GP for another cream.

Only down side, it stings and burns!"


"For me Adderall has changed my life remarkably for the good; without Adderall I wouldn't be able to work 40 hours a week like I do as well as going to school full-time. Yes it may be a amphetamine and  produce similar euphoric highs  to meth and MDMA, however it is far different as far as when it is broken down chemically. For those who have little knowledge in chemistry, just one small change in the chemical structure to a drug that may seem so insignificant can actually change the drug dramatically when it comes to the side effects. Adderall is a very useful drug and provides many benefits with much less side effects then the other not so good drugs in its class."


"Started taking 80 mg before bed about 8 months ago. It worked ok the first few months, with the exception of some weight gain. I went from having daily severe headaches and migraines to mild daily headaches and migraines about once every week or two. About two month ago, headaches came back full force and my neurologist decided to up the dose to 120 mg. Couldn't sleep at all, terrible nightmares, gained more weight, and had hand numbness. His suggestion was to take it during the day instead of at night. Terrible idea. Excessive drowsiness, nausea, and still nonstop severe headaches and migraines. Hands still going numb and no sleep. Hope to get off of this soon."


"I have been taking it for Sinusitis for 8 days. It seems to have helped and I am feeling better."


"I have been sensitive to several birth control pills, including tri lo Marzia which is supposed to be the same thing. On that one I bled for 3 weeks straight in the middle of a pack. This one has worked wonderfully for me and I have had no issues with acne or mood swings like I have with others. I do think every birth control works differently for everyone, so never take what one person says positively or negatively from a review!"


"I packed on a lot of weight while I was pregnant. Shortly after I found out I had pcos. Knowing the weight and the pcos would soon have major effects on my health. I had to make a change. After discussing my issues with my dr, he prescribed phentermine. At first, it didnt do much. With a lot of self control and determination I am down 60lbs in 7ish months!!!! I was wearing a size 20, I am now a 14/13. Its not mircle pill by any means. More of a helping tool to control bad eating habits. Its been a blessing."


"I have had the Implanon for about 8 months and I bled for 2 months straight then spotted for 2 more months. Now that I have no period I have really bad cramps."


"I've had the Implanon in for 2 weeks and I don't like it.  I love not having to take the pill but my mood swings are crazy.  I have 2 kids ages 2 and 8 months and I find myself snapping at them and having less patience.  I am constantly apologizing to my husband for being a raving lunatic and I got a period.  I haven't had a period in 5 months previously while I was on Nora-Be and now I have a period.  It's been light but never the less annoying.  I think I'm going to have it taken out.  I don't like these mood swings one bit.  I feel like I have road rage all of the time."


"Takes about 40 minutes to kill a cluster headache for me, and I usually combine it with an energy drink for about ~30 minutes before it works. I also take half a pill whenever a shadow comes just in case. No side effects.

"


"I am 27 years old and I had blood pressure of 150/100, around the high range for a few days at the very least but within 2 hours of taking Norvasc 5g my BP dropped to around 128/86.
I have just taken this once in my life."


"I love Implanon. I went to my doctor to complain about my birth control pills (different kinds for 6 years) that caused mood swings, breakouts, etc.... she suggested Implanon and in 20 mins I walked out with it! It does not hurt. It looks intimidating but they numb your arm and afterwards it feels like a normal bruise. I have had it for 6 months now. I have no period and NO side effects! No mood swings no breakthrough bleeding no breakouts it's amazing."


"I've been taking this medication for under 6months now and I have gained 10lbs while taking this drug. I don't feel like I have increased energy than before like some other people described. I feel more irritable & anxious at times, still can't sleep at night. I get the dry mouth side effects and occasional constipation.  I'm taking 300mg XL once a day. I am getting more depressed with gaining weight on this drug! I was taking Lexapro before & didn't find it help me feeling less depressed & experience  alot of nightmare or weird dreams while taking Lexapro!"


"I am 48 years old and I have Left bundle branch block (LBBB)  and a low ejection fraction 30 to 35..

I used to be on Lisinopril and Carvedilol before taking Entresto and the Lisinopril didn't suit me well and gave me anxiety..

I have been on Entresto and Carvedilol for almost a year and I enjoy taking the medicines together..

I workout 3 times a week and I am losing weight and my ejection fraction is increasing..

I am not  having any side effects but a very light dizziness if I sit for a long time and get up fast..

I can feel that my heart works easier than before and my average blood pressure is 117/68

Entresto is about $485 a month; however; if you go online and register they provide a discount card and after my insurance I pay $60 a month

"


"my  son  just  started  keppra  and  has  not  had  seiruze  in  about  a  week.  It  really  works  fast."


"I'm on my second Botox. After first one I had blurred vision and have to read with my reading glasses. Still have a migraine but with Advil or fioricet with cup of coffee migraine i last between 1-5 hours. I was very happy not to have them for seventeen hours and be in dark room. However my second Botox didn't give me relieve I was expecting. So now for whole month I have droopy eyes, constant neck and shoulder pain, and every day migraine. I am planning to go for my third shot because help with migraine, I can take other pain but not migraine pain."


"This is my first time on the pill and I don't have anything negative to say about Beyaz. No side effects that I am aware of which is such a relief."


"Percocet has been a life changer for me with my sciatic nerve condition. I can now work and support my family while my condition is diagnosed and hopefully treated well. I agree some form of Percocet should be considered for depression."


"I have rheumatoid arthritis, recently diagnosed after 4 yrs of foot and shoulder pain. I was prescribed Tramadol and think it is pretty good. It does lessen the pain (not completely in my case) and does not appear to have any adverse effects. I think a lot of what makes the difference for the various afflictions is a proper dosage for the type of pain.

Unlike the harder narcotics, I can definitely work/walk/etc. and be alert while taking Tramadol.

So far so good. "


"I took my second injection this morning. I have thus far no issue with injection. I do not have a lump like most people seem to have. injection goes well and easy for me. My first side effects after first injection came on day 2 I had terrible nausea for about an 1hr then it went away.  I had diarrhea off and on all week and occasional nausea that didn't last long. Im hoping ill adjust to the med and those side effects of away. I did notice a slight decrease in my appetite. I also noticed if i ate to much i would get sick. No weight loss to report yet, but in the first week of injection I notice a big improvement in my blood sugars. Fasting blood sugar was normally 215 it is now 180's. Im hoping for more improvement overtime."


"Had full kidney stone blockage in ureter.  The pain was so severe that neither Morphine or Dilaudid could handle it.   When they added Toradol to the Dilaudid it knocked the pain out almost completely. I was told it only works in about 50% of the population.  I was very glad that I'm in that 50%."


"Well I have taken 5mg on several occasions and it did the job fine but then 5mg stopped working. I hadn't pooped in like 5 days so I took 10mg late last night. I have a flu/cold so I should have known my body would be more sensitive. Woke up out of a dead sleep at 6 am and been having lots of very watery diarrhea since. Took 3 imodium with no effect what so ever. I can't stop pooping."


"I have taken Prozac for about fifteen years. No more cyclical valleys of depression followed by highs. Capable of handling extreme stress, exercising, weekly sex - reduced libido. My weight has stayed the SAME. The two to three times of exercising a week is all it takes to be healthy. Only downside is acting out dreams 3-4 times a year and kicking legs while sleeping. The dreams I can't predict. The kicking legs can be sensed in early evening and I just take two Liquid Advils to subdue them. Life Is Good!"


"I have been using this medication for roughly 3 weeks now.  I haven't lost taste yet but won't be surprised if I do.  I am experiencing terrible headaches (all day long), loss of appetite and I am not sleeping (which I have never had a problem with before). Just wondering if anyone else has had these same effects while taking this medication.  I am a 33 yr old female and I got an infected toenail while I was pregnant....10 yrs ago. I tried every over the counter medicine invented...only to waste my money.  So, I am going to stick it out. I will write back to let you know how it turned out.  Thanks!"


"The medicine works great for high blood pressure, BUT....

I'm a college student in school for criminal justice. Ever since taking this medication I can't seem to keep my eyes open to study and I can't focus on course material. Where as I was so motivated until metroprolol."


""I'm on my fourth day of this medicine for strep throat and my throat is in unbearable pain still. It really has not done anything for me. Horrible and would not recommend using."Not good medicine"


"During my periods I had intense cramps and heavy bleeding.That's why I chose the convenience of this birth control.I got my inplant put in July 31st 2015. Midway in August I experienced intense pain while laying down, as if I literally was stabbed. As soon as I got up I had major shedding of my walls.September 8th I started my period, ever since than I have been bleeding. During April I went to my gyno and she ran a test stating it could be an infection. Results came back that's not the issue. I have gained almost 30lbs during this time. I'm extremely irritable and get upset over the smallest things. I'm no longer am able to self lubricat, which makes intercourse painful. Overall for me it isnt worth it."


"Absolutely did NOT work! Waste of $20 and there's no way to get a refund!"


"I had dark spots on my nose, forehead and chin. I use a cream almost every night for a 1,5 month and spots disappeared. It has been almost 7 years and and I noticed a small spots on my cheek and neck so I am going to try again"


"So I slipped up and allowed my boyfriend to finish inside of me in the heat of the moment. Right after I went to the pharmacy to get the pill. I took it the following morning, not even 24 hours later. 2 weeks later I found out that I was pregnant so I decided that I was just gonna keep the baby. Unfortunately because of the pill the pregnancy didn't take properly and I ended up having a miscarriage. Sorry the pill didn't work for me."


"I take 1mg twice a day. It had helped greatly reduce my number of migraines."


"I used Wellbutrin it for a month to start stopping smoking. I used it as you should use Zyban (first week one pill in the morning, then the next two months two pills a day with min. 8 hours in between, best long before evening). After 2 weeks of use I lost a lot of libido and nearly all ability to get fully erected. Now I stopped it by eating one per day for a week. Since two days I've fully stopped and am still waiting on the libido and erectability I had before that idea stopping smoking and eating Wellbutrin...."


"I've been in and out of rehabs, AA/NA you name it. This medicine finally has taken my cravings away. If the rooms aren't working for you try Campral along with whatever else you can if you have to."


"I've been on Bydureon coming on three weeks, I just gave my third week shot today!  The first week about five days and I got violently ill, abdominal cramps vomiting diarrhea. Contacted my doctor but he really thought that it was the stomach virus so he asked me to take it for one more week. Second week I had some light nausea but all went well. Just took my third shot this morning and I don't know if I did anything wrong but  it burned going in and now there's a lump on my thigh The size of a pea."


"I disagree with the other reviews, two doses and I'm feeling a bit better with the antibiotics. Only downfall so far. Nausea!"


"Took it for one week, brain fog was so thick I had to discontinue use.  Side effects lasted for a couple of months after discontinuation.  "


"Before Lexapro I was on Adderall witch I abused with drinking and resulted in alcohol poisoning and Atrial Fibulation (irregular heartbeat) after this  incident my anxiety went through the roof and I feared to drink or take another medication again. I had multiple times where I would go to the emergency room thinking I was having a heart attack and each time they told me it was anxiety. That’s when my doctor recommended lexapro. It does take some time for your body to get used to but once it did my anxiety was almost gone! You just need to let your body get used to it and find the right dose for you. I have been on it for almost a year now and I still get a little anxious but haven’t had any panic attacks."


"I've been on this medication for about 4 months now and I can honestly say it has helped in giving me my life back. I have stage IV Endometriosis, a bulging disc that's pressing on nerves in my L4-L5, sciatica, and cervical pain. Before this medication I was on Nucyneta ER which was crap. I now go to a great pain doctor who promised me that I will get my life back and they have kept their promise. I take Zohydro 15mg 2x per day and Narco 750 for breakthrough, and flexeril at night. I am now able to sleep at night and make it through the days mostly.

I pay $15 copay because of a prescription card and insurance. My insurance denied it at firs but my doctor advocated for me to them and they now cover it.

I hope this helps someone."


"Started on 25mgs and had a tough first week with all the side effects. My doctor told me to stay on it for 2-3 more weeks and I did - and I must say, it have effected my life for the better cause. Went up to 50mg and have been on that dose for a while. Works great and feel that it is easier to do things now than before. Think it is important to say that there are no wonders drugs for anxiety. You are the key to deal with it - not the medicine. I still recommend Zoloft for those struggling with panic attacks."


"I am a mother of 3 kids 33 and have anxiety/depression  I was on Effexor 150 mg " this should be illegal! " didn't work and If a dose was missed it felt like few hours of a drug "rush" like speed or cocaine...intense night sweats highly addictive AVOID! , Celexa

 " had bad sexual side effects", zoloft "robot drug". I am getting back to Elavil 10 mg.  Elavil is great I feel happy on it . It makes me enjoy life and little things again. I don't  need to take much for it to work and I have no side effects at all on a  10 mg daily dose. I felt sleepy for two weeks when I started but it resorbs and you can then feel its full beneficial effects quickly general  mood elevation and good feeling". Anxiety is under control on it and I sleep better."


"I have been a Type 1 diabetic for
21 years .  I would like to Thank
The Company and the employees of
Sanofi-Aventis USA LLC for producing, packaging and providing
Lantus Insulin to pharmacies so
That I am to receive Lantus Insulin
Through my insurance company.
The Lantus Insulin helps me
Survive every day."


"I have just started taking escitalopram, 3 weeks ago after having had a terrible panic attack and been rushed to hospital. I feel still very anxious and jittery and not myself, I haven't been out of the house much and when I do I get very edgy and want back. I am turning 50 and I don't know if this all relates to menopause. I am going to have blood test and find out as I hate being like this. I have lost my confidence in going out. I feel these are making me worse. "


"I've been using the patch for almost a week now and normally I would smoke 10-12 cigarettes a day, and during this past week I've only had 4 or 5. I don't feel the need to smoke like I used to. However, I notice that after about 15 minutes of putting the patch on, the area gets very itchy for about 30 minutes. There have been days where I feel very weak and tired, and sometimes nauseous and dizzy.  My biggest complaint is having a hard time falling asleep. But I rather lose a little sleep than to keep smoking. These patches really do work. "


"Started Lexapro four days ago,psychologically I feel better but have had terrible nausea,headaches and trouble sleeping at night."


"After stopping the megestrol yesterday after 2 months due to loss of weight during suspected lung cancer I have had continual very loose bowel movements so far all day the following day.  Is this a side effect of coming off the medicine.. If anyone else has had this experience I would like to know about it as I didn't see this as a side effect in the literature"


"I was prescribed .5mg to be taken 2 times daily for anxiety. At first I would only take a single .5mg dose every once in a while if I had an anxiety issue, which seemed to help a bit. Well, last week I was anxious most of the week so I decided to take a single, .5mg dose once a day for 4 days straight. Boy was that a bad idea!!! 2 days after stopping, my anxiety symptoms skyrocketed multiple times worse than before I even started the medicine. I had severe withdrawal symptoms for over a week after and didn't know a dependence could be gained in such a short period of time. My psychiatrist even said it was nearly impossible for that short a period at that dose. I won't continue this medication. Beware!"


"Mom was put on 10 mg. Then Dr. increased to 20 mg and her husband passed away and Dr. increased to 40 mg. She kept falling, blacking out, dizzy spells. I kept asking Dr. if it could be any of her medications and they said no. Then she started having signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's. On her first diagnosis she was diagnosed with advanced alz.
We saw no signs or family history of Alz. You see that coming 4-5 years out. After fighting this for 4 months after diagnosis, I decided the only thing that was changed was adding Celexa, so I weened her off Celexa and in 3 weeks w had our Mom back from Alz, state that she was in."


"I start May 11 no side effect!!! Going great!"


"My daughter had a liver transplant almost 15 year's ago. After 6 months Prograf was the only mediicine she was taking. Has had NO set backs, no problems. She has given birth to 3 beautiful, smart children with no problems or side effects.

Thank God for Prograf. She is on 2mg twice a day."


"I really hope to help someone out there suffering with this nightmare called "Panic Disorder". I suffered for the last 2 years with debilitating panic. My dad died of cancer two years ago, and one week later my son got very ill. Needless to say I had a nervous breakdown and ever since then panic ruled my life which led to depression and agoraphobia setting in. I was scared to death of SSRI's and suffered needlessly for 2 years. Two weeks ago I went to a Psychiatrist, he prescribed me Zoloft 25mg to start for 2 weeks then up it to 50mg. I am also taking 0.5mg Xanax twice a day. I have to say I feel great! Not a single panic attack since the 3rd day of taking med. I also am way more social and sleep a thousand times better! Thank you Zoloft!!"


"I've been on enbrel for about 2 years now. I can't go out in the sun because of the rash i get all over my chest and back ( side effect of enbrel)  I never had any eye problems until I started using enbrel, now I need new glasses about every 6 months ( side effect of enbrel) . Do the benefits outweigh the side effects? In my case no! I'm done with enbrel."


"I took Nardil from '88-'98 and it worked well. Then I was switched to Paxil, which had a lot of side effects (weight, sexual, tired, sense of not really being there). Paxil was probably better for OCD but I came off it (had shocking withdrawal symptoms)."


"Miracle medicine!"


"I started loestrin 24 as my first birth control pill.  I started it the third day of my period as my doctor instructed and my period lasted four days longer than normal.  My bleeding stopped, then, for four days and then started again and lasted for two months!  My gynecologist says that sometimes birth control takes 2-3 months to even out.  Well, the first month I had break through bleeding on and off and had several days in a row with little to no bleeding.  The second month, I bled for four solid weeks.  I had no sex drive, some cramping in between periods and I felt very depressed and insecure.  This was not the pill for me."


"I had bad Psoriasis behind my ear. Elocon cleared it in just two days. I would definitely recommend it."


"Did not work for my anxiety and made it difficult to maintain an erection."


"49 YO Male. Starting weight 280 lbs on Jan 6 2015. Current weight 244 on April 6 2015. Goal weight = 170. Weight loss = 36 lbs in 3 months. Experience - entirely positive and successful. Have not been under 250 in 9 years, despite diet and exercise with many periods of not trying.  First two weeks on half dose were most intense for side effects - dry mouth, light-headedness, unusual thoughts and dreams. All passed quickly when I normalized on standard 7.5 mg doze after 2 weeks. What has remained is a decreased appetite, no more unconscious or binge eating, and ability to just eat the foods I want to eat - healthy green veg and protein. Exercise 6 days/week. Friends will notice the difference at 30 lbs so hang in there."


"I had gotten the ParaGard after I had my third child. After being on it for a year I started to miss my period and was having all the signs of being pregnant. I went into my yearly check up and the doctor informed me the iud looked good and in place. Four weeks later I started to bleed very bad and pass huge clots and in one of those clots was the ParaGrad I ended up going into the ER and found out I was 12 weeks pregnant and having a miscarriage. I ended up pregnant on the ParaGrad within a year and lost my baby due to it.  I will never get another IUD."


"Caused severe headaches."


"Started Tamiflu within 36 hours of symptoms and felt so much better within 48 hours. My symptoms originally didn't include nausea and that didn't change after starting Tamiflu, although I did take the pills with a little in my stomach.  I'd take it again."


"I got it installed April 18th 2016 I didn't have any problems until a couple of weeks later I gained over 15 pound! Which is so unattractive!! So I decided to Remove it July 29th & ever since then my life has been hell "


"Hair loss, weight gain, deforming cystic acne, hot flashes! At 32, after 2 years on depo I was told by my gyn that my symptoms weren't depo, but that I was 'in a new season of life'. I. I no longer trust that doctor, I will never take birth control again. I'm not 10 months past my last shot and just beginning to see signs that my hair is growing in, my acne is getting better even though permanent scarring has already taken place. This drug is the worst choice. Doctors don't tell you that you'll get osteoporosis,lose your hair, get acne, hot flashes and gain weight. They tell you it's safe and they tell you to take calcium and vitamin D. It is not safe!"


"Simply amazing. I have extremely awful anxiety and I guess you might consider I have panic attacks at times...usually over worrying about my children.  I was just sitting here in crying fit and thought to myself, "You know you can take your 2nd dose of Buspar now, it's okay, you get three a day!"  SO, I did and I feel so much better. The crying has already stopped, after 30 minutes of taking the medicine. I was researching the medicine online and found this site and when I did, I knew I had to post to help others who might be in my same situation.  JUST TRY IT. You can't go wrong in trying it."


"When first beginning this medication,  I experienced nausea, the first month only.  I've been taking this medication for over a  year now and I'm very happy with it.  No problem with acne at all, just body hair growth.  I don't have any cramping or breast tenderness either."


"I took one pill of a two week prescription and immediately had a splitting headache. Six hours later I had difficulty breathing. Body aches and joint pain also kicked in. Two days later I am finally starting to feel better, but my right knee still hurts. This drug is (almost) banned in the U.K.  And should be looked at by the FDA.  You need to know if you are allergic to the sulfa class of drugs before even thinking about taking this drug."


"Hi my son takes abilify for audible hallucinations and it has not worked. Worst drug ever hasn't cured his psychosis either"


"I have been taking Tegretol for a couple of years and it really helps with my bipolar. I can notice a big difference compared to if I'm not taking it. I just don't like how it makes my head and tongue feel numb, but it's a small price to pay."


"I'm taking 2 x 60mgs a day. Works well and no side effects."


"I was very sceptical of taking Moviprep after reading the online reviews but I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I did take an anti-emetic beforehand as prescribed by my doctor and I had no nausea at all. Yes the prep does taste awful and whatever you use to help flavour it you will never want to drink again. But I had no side effects no cramping, bloating or nausea. The motions I was able to easily get to the toilet and didn't need to get up in the night. The only side effect I did get was burning towards the end but did use lots of sudocream. My advise would be start early and take you time. I started at 2pm and finished at 8pm for the two doses."


"Mononessa has been great so far , I started with minastrin and then I switched to sprintec. I was experiencing serious weight gain from sprintec and finally made the switch to mononessa. I have experienced breakthrough bleeding but only due to my own irresponsibility . I am rating this 10/10 because my experience without the condom has not resulted in pregnancy. I am starting to have some concerns though. Sometimes I get these very weird headaches , its almost as if I'm dehydrated . I'll drink tons of water but that doesn't seem to help. And this  month I have become very irritable and upset over just about anything . My moods are out of control and i just feel so hopeless sometimes."


"I had unprotected sex January 1. 11 hours later took the pill.
Jan 1-Jan4 (4 days I had nausea and felt hot but no fever)
Jan4-Jan10 (I had bleeding) it was a light period.
Jan 11-13 ( I had sore breasts, nausea, heartburn, fatigue, peeing constantly, my face broke out with three pimples and Im not even a teen anymore...And I hardly got pimples when I was a teen :( )
My period should be around January 22. So I still have to check for a pregnancy test. So far I feel pregnant. This heartburn and nausea is intense. And I can't bare to stay awake"


"I've been on Contrave for 3 weeks. It's expensive, even with the downloaded card. I started the 4 pills/day yesterday. Today I had my follow up appt w/my Dr. & I gained 3 lbs  :(  Contrave has not suppressed my appetite, I crave carbs like crazy now. My Dr. gave me another prescription for 3 more months depending on how I do with the 4 pills per day.  I'll continue with the Contrave for the remainder of the month & hope that with the full daily dose, I'll begin to benefit from Contrave.  I truly hope something works!  I'm going to restrict my carbs and try to fight the urge."


"I've had this thing in my arm for over a year now and I can honestly say I hate it! It has done nothing but change my personality and weight gain. I'm usually an extra small size and weight 127 lbs I am at 149 and exercising more then ever to try and keep the weight down. I am hateful,moody, I never want to be around people. My sleeping pattern is irregular. I either sleep to much or not at all. I've tried everything. My family has noticed a difference in my attitude. I'm just not myself.  Let me not forget the acne. It's hideous I'm constantly breaking out, never had back ache ever, my skin has become rough. Anyone thinking of getting this I do not approve. I refuse to be the governments test rat."


"I started taking Zovia about 5 months ago and I could immediately tell the difference after the 1st month. I started gaining weight, my breasts got even bigger than they already were and they were constantly tender, my periods went from 3-4 days to 7-9 days with horrible cramps, my face became very oily and I started breaking out. I have never had a lot of acne or breakouts but after starting this birth control, it got bad. I have been an emotional wreck and cry all of the time and I'm normally not like that. I think I had every bad side effect a birth control can have so needless to say, my OB has called in a different birth control! Hopefully if you decide to use this birth control, you don't have any of the side effects like I have."


"The first couple nights, I experienced horrible nightmares in which I could not awake from until 2 1/2 hours later when my alarm finally sounded. The next week, my dosage was increased which I experienced severe weakness, dizziness and vomiting. The third week, my dosage was again increased and I experienced the inability to go to sleep.  These side effects caused me to discontinue the medication."


"I've had chronic back pain for 15+ years. Four years ago I was diagnosed with a bulging torn disc and degenerative disc disease. My doc put me on Norco 10-325 and Fentanyl 75mcg/hr with a new fentanyl patch every 48 hours. After 4 years on these meds she cut me off completely. No weaning off. Cold turkey. All because the DEA is out for opiates. So I went thru withdrawal. I was in extreme pain. Sweating and shaking. 2 days in doc finally prescribes ketorolac. It was amazing! Year's worth of pain vanished. This was my first time taking it in pill form. I've had multiple injections of toradol for back flare ups and they've always worked well. But the pill takes the cake."


"I was expecting the pain of insertion to be terrible, when in fact it felt like nothing more than a period cramp that lasted maybe about 5 seconds. I haven't had any additional cramps or bleeding either. Probably one of the best decisions I've made."


"This was like a worthless sugar pill. Does nothing for severe back and foot pain."


"After a casual conference with the people arguing in my head, we decided to give Latuda a try.  My first 20mg pill went down my esophagus without any problems whatsoever.  I have high hopes for this drug therapy.  Blessed Be."


"I have had PHN for 2 years and have been in extreme pain.  My Internist told me about Zostrix HP along with the warning to be careful applying it and to wash it off my hands.  I started using latex gloves to administer it on my body and after 2 weeks my pain began to subside.  I am now at a very manageable pain level.  On a 1-10 with 10 being the highest pain I am now finally at 0.5 (point five) after 2 years of being at a pain level of 10 day and night.  I use it sparingly (pea sized amount) 3-4 x a day.  I highly recommend it if you had shingles and then PHN."


"I have been on various forms of birth control for 16 years and have never had an issue with any of them. I was put on Bislovi because Gildess was recalled. It was a literal nightmare!! I was irritable, exhausted and I hate to use the word but crazy!! My breasts were huge swollen and sore and I had horrible periods. I stayed on it for 4 months because I thought I would adjust, but it just got worse. I am now on Junel and all is back to normal. DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL!!"


"I aImost didn't go through after reading these reviews. I have had Liletta for about 2 months. I have no tolerance for pain whatsoever. I took a tramadol 2 hours before my appointment. My doctor advised that it would be painful for a short while especially since I have never been pregnant. She was very good during the insertion about letting me know when pain would occur. It was very painful for about 3-4 hours. After that, it was similar to my normal cramps for 2 days. I spotted for the first 4 days just enough for a panty liner, not even a pad, and have not had any spotting since. I have had no issues with my boyfriend and the strings or being dry "down there" as I have read with some others. My sex drive has increased since having it."


"I started Chantix about two months ago and I can't say enough about how absolutely amazing this medication has worked for me. I could feel a difference by day two and I have been completely smoke free since week one. I have about a month left in my prescription and I continue to take it. I have refills for the year if I feel I need it but I have no desire whatsoever to smoke and I just want to say thank you to the medicine for hopefully saving my life. I'm a 42 year old RN and I have been smoking 5 years. Not real long but long enough. I had a crazy dream night one and nothing since- no side effects at all. I was nervous to start the medicine due to the stories we have all heard but I figured the benefit outweighed the risk. Good decision."


"I have taken NuvaRing for one full month. I got one migraine headache and was very bloated for the first couple weeks. It increased my anxiety quite a bit especially when I was tired. PMS got much better. However my sex drive has declined. I had a very normal period on it."


"Started on 10mg of Viibryd and have been taking it for over 6 weeks.
First week I experienced being "spacey", diarrhea and no appetite.  After the first week, I started to feel better and have improved quite a bit.  Anxiety is gone but still have "anger" issues, although not as bad prior to Viibryd.
Asking the doctor to up the dosage to 20mg to possible help with anger issues.
Otherwise, Viibryd is about the best anti-depressant I've ever taken.  Much better than Wellbutrin/Zoloft/Prozac/Celexa/etc."


"I was put om buspar due to getting custody of my niece and nephew from dhr and getting a promotion to a new much more stressful job. The buspar helped keep me calm enough to focus at the tasks before me and help me get through my day to day life. I was super stressed and scared bc of all of the changes in my life and buspar helped me calm down and cope"


"Good. Probably the best first-line antidepressant option I've tried. Works within a few days if you're lucky. It's nice going outside, feeling good again and having a quiet mind. Just be aware of three things 1) it comes with a fair share of side effects - notably fatigue, difficulty falling asleep, difficulty waking up and usually gastrointestinal   sexual issues. 2) for me, it stopped working after a year or two so mix up your lifestyle and identify, make changes whilst you feel good 3) withdrawal is awful but not as bad as you imagine it will be - just be prepared to sign off if necessary and keep friends, family close. Cognitive blunting as a result of either the depression or the medication is still with me a few months on."


"I had a terrible experience with this bc. Once I started taking it, I was very nauseous daily for a week. Once I got my period, it was so painful and so heavy, I couldn't even do anything. I would also get a full blown period twice in one month. My period was never like that before. I stayed on it for 3 months or so trying to let my body get used to it but it was not working out. I started taking this birth control to shrink ovarian cysts. I had two small ones that did go away but I had another bigger one pop up. But Everybody is different. I just felt like sharing my experience. I am now taking minastrin 24 fe. So we will see how this works for me...."


"I have suffered with restless leg syndrome since a child.  About 5 years ago started on Requip.  It caused severe nausea.  Mirapex is the answer for me.  "


"Not fond of the sexual side effects (making it harder to orgasm), and it caused excessive sweating! However it did work very well for managing my anxiety. The only negative were the side effects."


"When I first went on this medication 300mg I did not like it at all. I had side effects of a type of floating- my head wasn't attached to my body- I'd be disorientated, only for a short time, but frequently at first. I don't really remember any other side effect.  I wanted to stop taking this. I was 300 SR then went to normal Seroquel.  Being on standard Seroquel helped.  I asked to change off Seroquel and was told its a good medicine and just give it time- 6 weeks. Wow, I didn't like that idea.  I did give it time,  I was tried of a day, so went back to 150mg- over time I've been on 200mg also and now 300mg.  I am so grateful to myself for hanging in there.  I choose to be on Seroquel,  I sleep a deep sleep, for me, I am happy. Very happy."


"If you want your life back start now"


"Having this cream prescribed to me by my doc I noticed no difference in the redness of my skin in the beginning (maybe worse redness if anything) after using it for several days my face became extremely red, very itchy, sore, sensitive and my face became swollen so I called my doc and she told me to stop using immediately. After that, I had another bad experience with another cream so I stopped using that one and decided to go back to the Mirvaso and I started noticing positive changes in my skin. My face would turn white and normal. Have been using Mirvaso daily for two years, I have my good days and I have my really bad days. Severely effects my life just in every way possible."


"It worked!! I took the pill less than 48 hours I got my period after 9 days of taking the pill so happy it worked!"


"I had Nexaplon put in on April 21, 2015. It was mostly pain free. I had some soreness around the injection site but have no complaints. I no longer experience nausea or cramping.  I spotted for 2 weeks and have not had a period since getting the implant put in. I have increased acne but it is minimal. No weight gain. My insurance covered this and that was a huge factor in my decision. I would recommend this drug. Keep in mind that everybody is different. What works for me, might not work for you."


"Lexapro saved me! I started this two weeks ago and could tell a huge difference after a few days! My anxiety was getting the best of me before I started this medicine. I was having anxiety while driving in the car. I finally realized I needed something to help me. My doctor gave me Lexapro. It works! I did feel like a zombie at first but that side effect is fading away. Lexapro has given me my happiness back!"


"Doctor recommended for softening my earwax over the weekend for removal on Monday. Used as directed my ear pain increased stealing over the weekend until I couldn't wait to see doctor on Monday. Earwax still couldn't be washed out. His only solution was to see a specialist but they were booked 90 day out. Managed to get in sooner (45 days) and have the wax removed. Still couldn't hear. Had hearing test. Deminished hearing. Rescheduled follow up hearing test 60 days out. No improvement in hearing. Might be permanent. Considering my next step. Had perfect hearing before"


"I recently had a 9 mm and 7 mm kidney stone between my kidney and bladder. Too large to pass so I had to have a stent placed to prevent blockage while waiting a week to go back for the procedure to break up the stones to a passable size. I had been given several types of pain meds through I. V. While in the hospital including some that were very powerful including duladid among others. I was sent home for 5 days while waiting for the procedure and was given percocet 10 / 325 1 every 4 hours. Without it I couldn't have tolerated the pain. Also had very limited side effects, nothing like what the I. V. Meds caused and I felt much safer taking it vs the other more powerful meds. I would recommend this to anyone suffering from kidney stones"


"Xanax is amazing! In 20 minutes it will completely take away all of your anxiety and/ or problems and everything will be ok. Life goes on! The only problem is that Xanax has such a short half life, that in 6 hours it goes away, and your brain wants more. If you take it daily watch out!  That little pill can ruin your life.  In prison they will only give med's to people detoxing from alcohol or benzo's.  Bc it can kill you! Short term, stressful event like flying or giving a speech or a panic attack- will do you good.  Try not taking your Xanax for a few days and see how you feel?  Or run out of your prescription a few days early. Let me say..its not fun.  Please be responsible and try meditation or working out.  Stay away from alcohol/stims"


"Excellent for many types of bacterial infections."


"I have had the Nexplanon since last spring. The first few weeks made me gain weight and I started getting big under the surface acne that hurt. My hair basically ruined from being greasy, dry, frizzy. Just went totally unmanageably. My skin went dull. I looked sickly all of the time. I started to get some color back but I was so moody and mean all the time. Along with that came the cramps. Since I've been on this I have become very depressed and antisocial. Through that I have a hard time being motivated. I cried over everything, had migraines. Sleeping troubles, then got too depressed to eat and lost 46 lbs. Oh, and I haven't had my period since it was put in."


"After 4 years of trying all the other anti-depressants I was put on Effexor. From the first day it was like the lights were turned on. If I go 2 days without I can't stop crying and is difficult to function. I don't have insurance and a low income so it's really tough at times. I feel like I need to increase the dose but  225mg is the max."


"I have just completed one pack of the Tri-Sprintec. I was prescribed Ortho but was given Tri-Sprintec due to insurance. I am 30 years old and have not had any major acne in years. The last major outbreak I have had was when I was 24. I would still get the occasion 1-2 acne but it would only occur every several months. This month has been horrible on Tri-Sprintec. I've had at least 20+ acne spots on my face. I've tried to used multiple products to clear it up to no avail. It is all hormonal cystic acne that is mainly concentrated around my mouth area/chin and they all leave scarring. I'm honestly not sure if I can last 3 months on it to see if it will get better for me. I do not normally break out so this terrifies me!"


"I have MDD. I have been on several antidepressants over the past 13 years.
Been using Viibryd 40mg for about 9 months.  The first 2 weeks were hell but my doctor assured me it would get better and it did.  My only major complaint: When I miss a dose I FEEL IT. I get dizzy, blurred vision and a severe headache.  I mean miss a dose by several hours, not a day or two! I previously stepped down off of Zoloft because of the same issues but I set a reminder on my cell phone to take my meds at 8:30am and I keep a few pills in my car and my purse just in case I have not eaten by 8:30am."


"Pack and half a day smoker 30 years. 4 days in  and I'm down to half pack already. Wow it kills your craving and makes ciggs tastes nasty.  I have no quit day yet but I'll post back so far so good. No side affects maybe short temper but I think thats maybe less nicotine."


"Ive had every sleeping medicine, even test drugs, thats legal where I am but only ambien has let me sleep. Ive been on ambien for about 3 years now. I take it because my autonomic nervous system doesnt work properly and my adrenaline wont shut of to let me sleep. Though ambien is the only thing that lets me sleep, it does give me weird trips or hallucinations sometimes. Which I have been told isnt a good thing and you should stop if you hallucinate or have a bad trip, but I'm on 10mg of ambien and I fall asleep 80% of the time so thanks ambien."


"It worked for me it helped with bloating and cramping"


"Prozac has changed my life I feel like I can enjoy small things like sitting outside and feeling the wind hit my face. I would have several panic attacks during the day and developed agoraphobia. Now with only 10 mg daily it helps, I have come off slowly with no withdrawals!"


"I have been on Armour for 13 years minimal symptoms.. Steady TSH and optimal F T3."


"I've been on Sprintec for two years. Before going on birth control when I was in high school, my periods kept getting longer and longer, eventually becoming 18 days long.  Sprintec reduced my periods to exactly 7 days, I never had spotting in between my periods. Before birth control I generally had clear skin and I still do for the most part.  I experienced no weight fluctuation. But in the past year I have noticed an increased soreness in my vagina walls over time, it started to make it unbearable to use tampons on my period at some points, so I will be switching pills soon."


"I have used Nuvaring for about two months and I really like it. I haven't had any side effects. During sex my partner couldn't feel it. The only downside to Nuvaring is costly."


"I recently started taking birth control for my PMDD and this is my second pack (Gianvi with my 1st, Loryna for the 2nd).  I'm also diagnosed with GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) with Panic Disorder and depressive symptoms. When I was taking Gianvi, I had no anxiety, mood swings, a short period that lasted 4 days (it used to be 7-9), and my relationship around people, especially my boyfriend, is stable.

It's only been my third week of using Loryna, and my anxiety and depression is back, I break out easily, I've been feeling this terrible ache in my lower abdomen, and I've been constantly arguing with my boyfriend. I'm definitely calling my doctor to change prescriptions!!!"


"I used this on several yeast infection occassions and it works great of course the first night u will experience some intense burning and itching but remember u are so raw down there that the medicine has to work by the second night u feel better and the 3rd night u feel great."


"This was the best birth control I ever used because my almost constant bleeding guaranteed my husband and I would very rarely be intimate. The only extended time I didn't bleed is when they put me on the pill as well. I would bleed about 20-25 days a month. I thought it would get better after 6 months, I ended keeping it for a year, which I regret. 7 months later my bleeding is constant. I bleed everyday, no exaggeration. Sometimes light, sometimes heavier, but everyday. I've only been married 2 years and I thought I was doing the right thing getting the implant but it ended up taking a huge toll on us. I have seen doctors repeatedly but they say I just have to wait for my hormones to even back out. I've had it out for 7 months!!"


"symptoms started as going #2 bathroom over 5-10 times a day. I got flagyl/metronidazole 500mg. It generally works for intestinal bacterial infection. You take 1 tablet by mouth 3 times a day for 7 days. Manufactures please make capsule form. The tablet TASTES really BAD. Take it with soda/gatorade or something that can wash away aftertaste. The side effects I felt were; nausea and dizziness. My Doctor said drink a lot of water and have it during meals and avoid all alcohol including certain mouthwash and anything that contains alcohol."


"I have taken the pill for four months. The first month was almost continuous light bleeding, which wasn't too awful because I was prepared for the first month to be rough. After that everything went pretty well. I did experience a couple of side effects though. I would have two light periods each month. The first one (what my normal period would be) was very light and lasted about three days. The second one would be a little heavier and last about five days. Cramping was very minimal, so that part was good. Aside from this, I did have some minor breakouts, at least compared to how my skin usually is, which may or may not have been a side effect. It wasn't for me, but that doesn't mean it isn't for everyone. Hope this helps."


"I started taking Byetta 5 mg exactly 2 weeks ago.  I've lost 5 lbs and my blood glucose is in the 80's every morning instead of the 170 - 200 range.  I have experienced a little nausea in the morning but it goes away after I eat.  I go back to the doc after New Year and plan to ask him to keep me on 5 mg instead of 10mg."


"This drug made me feel so agitated, and my anxiety went through the roof. Was drenched in sweat at night. Had to come off after 3 days."


"I've struggled with cold sores for about 25 years and this is the 1st product I've come across that actually keeps my sores under control. I use at 1st signs, and the sore is gone within a few days. I won't use anything else now."


"The implanon that was stuck in my arm it went missing! I had to go to hospital to get it out and it was crazy painful as they hit heaps of nerves while digging in my arm!! but that's nothing compared to the awful gutted feeling of depression and worthlessness I had for 4 years."


"I hv suffered with IBS-D for about 4 years. Finally in July I had had it. I was starting to avoid activities or road trips as I was terrified of having an accident. Many times I did. My dr prescribed Viberzi and right off I had a reaction so I cut it down to one pill a day. It was a dream come true. I felt normal. 3 days ago my diarrhea was back so I kicked it up to 2 pills a day. I'm hoping the drug will continue to work for me. I was at my wits end."


"I haven't been on this long. My highest weight this week was 228 at the Dr and 225.7 at home and I am now down to 220.9. I am 5'5 and 32. The nausea is bearable, what isn't is being overweight. It has definitely curbed my appetite. I find that if I can eat through the nausea then I feel better. I am apprehensive of drinking too much on this medication. I still have had a glass of wine. Constipation is noticeable but I will look into a laxative. I haven't really been feeling tired, though I am only on 0.6 until Thursday. I don't want to start any happy dances until I am under 200, but I am not going to object the weight loss I have already witnessed. I definitely have hope. I'll check in again to update on my progress."


"I have been having considerable reconstructive work in my mouth lately.  It is very effective in controlling my tooth pain as long as I take it on an empty stomach. "


"I am 15 and I had a terrible acne problem, I mean it was bad! I tried Proactive to Oxy and so much more. My  mom was spending a lot of money on things that did not work. I went to the dr. He prescribed face pads that didn't work then he prescribed a gel to apply to my face twice a day. The gel worked a little then we went back for the last time and he put me on Yasmin. I noticed a difference about a month after I started taking it. It has also helped with cramps and pms. Thanks Yasmin."


"I've started 50 mg 50 days ago, increased to 100 mg in 25 days ago, increased to 150 mg 10 days ago. It has had no effect except for side effect (weight increase and constipation). I don't understand because with Effexor I had a response. Thinking to go to Wellbutrin because of the no weight gain."


"Hopefully my experience will give some with Narcolepsy a little bit of relief taking this medicine.  I started taking Dexedrine when I was 31 years old and 100 tablets of Dexedrine cost $5.  I am now 71 years old and have been taking this for 40 years and I am still alive without any bad side effects that I am aware of.  After taking Dexedrine, I finished nursing school and became an RN.  Since that time I have retired.  As a teenager in high school, I thought that studying was going to my bed with a book and falling asleep.  If it wasn't for a clerical course, I would have never graduated as I couldn't fall asleep typing or taking shorthand.  I was amazed how Dexedrine helped me. My does is 2 10 mg tablets 3 times a day."


"Didn't work for me. In fact, made things worse. Caused bleeding at a time when that was no longer an issue for me."


"I have been on Nexium for probably 10 years now and it works well. I can really notice a difference if I run out or take something else..the problem is the cost of this medication is outrageous!"


"I use Adderall XR 20mg at morning wake up for narcolepsy and find it effective. It helps like nothing else to start a day off "awake" as can be. I am also prescribed 20mg IR taken twice throughout the day as needed.  As well as Nuvigil (armodafinil) 150mg at night right before sleep. Balancing meds is vital for this disease.

But back to the point Adderall XR is amazing."


"This medication has probably saved my life.  Before using it my anxiety was so severe it put many limitations on my life. I foolishly tried to reduce it twice, and the uncontrollable symptoms returned.  I just increased it back to the original 20 mg/day and hope it works once again very soon."


"I feel that this medication did decrease my anxiety (I have social anxiety) and made me feel less nervous in a lot more situations. I went on roller coasters and felt nothing for the most part. The only bad thing is that this medicine wrecked my sleeping patterns. I usually will wake up 7-8 hours after I fall asleep, but now I wake up maybe 10-11 hours after. I am sure that would be fine if I were 12, but I am not. I am so used to the way I have slept for so long that it feels pretty horrible to be such a heavy sleeper."


"I was on Lithium Carbonate for 15 years and  never felt like a "normal" human being. I felt like a zombie. When I was told by a new psychiatrist to pick out a new medicine for my bipolar illness, I chose Topamax even though it is an off-label treatment for bipolar disorder, it seemed to have the least amount of side affects and I feel WHOLE again. I have been on Topamax for 15 years (I think) and the only adverse effect I have is decreased sweating in hot weather."


"I've been using this for about a month and a half. No sign of a period. But I'm breaking out on my chest and back. My breasts have gotten bigger and are nice and firm, which I love. But I've gained about 8 pounds since I started it. It's especially noticeable in my stomach. "


"I have been on Seasonique for a month and a week and I am having the worst time of my life! I am on BC due to an endometriosis flare-up, soreness during sex and hormonal changes in my system. I have never taken this particular pill before; I was prescribed lo-seasonique in the past which was perfect! Seasonique is damaging! My body is aching; my breast feel 20lbs heavier just that area alone; the cramping OMG is on another level! I’m so frustrated right now because now I’m not sure if I should stop cold turkey or not; bleeding is now out of control! Every review I have read, I can relate to and it’s unfortunate because normally I would stand by the Lo-Seasonique- but this dosage, is the worse.. READ THE REVIEWS— THEY HAVE BEEN SPOT ON! "


"This actually is very effective for me. I've been on it for 6 months and 2 of my toes are now healthy and normal, with the other 2 improving. The $200 price for 8mL is just disgusting but if you can afford it its worth a shot. I've used a bottle and a half now, and I doubt I'll need a third. So $400 to fix my nails and my confidence isn't too bad I guess."


"I've been taking this medicine for almost 4 years and I have had some horrible experiences, and side effects almost all of them, but there is one that's not listed my Teeth, all of them are breaking off to the gum line I wear a permanent bridge and the teeth that the bridge is bonded to have broken off now I have one tooth holding on a four teeth bridge and I have so much bone loss that all of my teeth are so loose that I could probably pull them out with my fingers, I don't see anything about this medicine in the list of side effects about it eating up the enamel and bone in your mouth does anyone know or have experienced the same problem and if there is a class action lawsuit about Methadone thank you "


"I started using Belviq 10/01/15 and I am down 15lbs, from 256. I have lost the cravings for sweets as well as increased my water intake, 90ozs. I am so excited and feel great. Also, I have enrolled in a fitness boot-camp and for the first time, I am not the weakest link."


"At first, I loved the depo shot. I got 6 weeks after giving birth and I haven't had a period since, which is wonderful. Unfortunately, my appetite increased greatly and I ended up gaining so much weight that I'm back to wearing maternity clothes because none of my clothes fit. I weigh as much as I did at 40 weeks pregnant and I've only been on the shot for 7 months. My next shot is scheduled for next month, but I am switching back to a pill. I have always been thin and I feel like someone else in my heavier body. If you don't mind weight gain, it's a great option. But the weight gain is too much for me."


"Had success getting 8 hours of sleep. My wife had to wake me the next day. I haven't slept like that in years. College maybe? I'm telling my friends and family about this medicine. "


"Over the last couple of years, all of the stress from moving far away from my family and having a stressful job got to me.  I started to experience panic and anxiety every now and again, to a build up of where I couldn't function or leave the house.  I was first put on Lexapro, and I had a terrible experience and thought I was going to die.  I finally made it back home to my old family doctor who decided to to try me on Zoloft, first at 25mg for a week and then 50 mg.  The first 3-4 weeks I noticed absolutely no change, and was taking Klonopin and anti-nausea meds to survive.  Then about 5 weeks in I noticed a profound difference.  I was my normal self!  I could go out in public, function, and fight off the panic/anxiety.  So happy now!"


"Unable to use this product due to heart rhythm malfunction. Interacted with prescription meds and caused arrhythmia. Check with physician first before using this product if you take meds."


"It changed my quality of life for the better, but since having to change to new insurance, they will not allow it, so now I am back in agony again with Migraines!!
 I would give anything to be back on the one thing that has helped me in 50 years of searching!!"


"Hi everyone! I started taking Saxenda 10 days and have already lost about 8 pounds. The first night I was very nauseous, but it hasn't been as bad. My appetite has become virtually non existent. I eat maybe a forth of what I used to eat, but I'm loving the results already. I've been on Metformin for almost 10 years and it's never done what this medication has. I'm on my way to my goal weight!"


"Zoloft worked for me at first, but then I had what my Doctor said was "medication burnout," so it stopped working.  He switched me from Zoloft to Prozac (both of which I am off now).  I took them together for a week so I could taper off the Zoloft.  He told me that taking them together would reduce withdrawal symptoms, but it didn't.  I had horrible withdrawal from Zoloft.  I have never done crack, but I felt like I had.  I was sweating, my pupils were huge, and I was shaking for a good 10 hours; I also had bad vertigo for a week.  I think it would have been a lot worse if I was just trying to get off Zoloft. My withdrawal from Prozac has been definitely better. "


"If Xanax is not available, then Ativan is my second choice. I have Chronic anxiety and Panic attacks associated with PTSD. "


"I lost weight, but at a cost from the side effects. Took it for about 2 months, and loved how really didn't care about what I ate (I ate mostly low carb while on it). For the first time ever, a lean chicken breast sounded as good as cake. What I didn't like was how I felt I never got deep sleep, or how I started to forget what word I was thinking of. So sadly, I had negative side effects from both medicines used to create Qsymia. After taking a break, I tried to go back on, staying on the lower dose, but I can't handle the lack of sleep.
After quitting the medicine, I regained the weight. Maybe if I'd been able to tolerate it for longer I would've learned better habits, but I found the return of the cravings hard to deal with. Not worth it."


"I'm 21 and I've started taking Trinessa on March 20th and its been working great! No pregnancy scare which I love! One big flaw it did have on me was when I got my period on the first of April which I had it for 2 whole weeks! The first week was super duper heavy and I've never gotten it like this before. This is the first birth control I taken so after 3 kids Trinessa is working. My body is just getting use to this birth control I guess."


"I have mixed feelings about this pill. Took this birth control for about 3 years, my periods were great! Very light and regular. But for about the last year my mood swings have been terrible and I’ve developed anxiety. I’ve also noticed my hair has thinned tremendously which is devastating for me as I’ve always had the thickest healthiest hair until this pill :( so I’m now switching pills and hopefully my hair and normal moods will come back!"


"I was hesitant to start on an antidepressant. However, while always prone to depression, the episodes had become more severe and lasted longer. I had terrible anxiety. Often even waking up in the middle of the night gasping for breath. Went on cymbalta. It took maybe 2 wks till I tentatively began to acknowledge that it might be working. Plus one evening I went downstairs to get ice for my neck (I had neck surgery last year) and realized I hadn't done that in weeks! Wasn't even taking It for pain. Ive  been on it for 3 mos now. I have experienced extreme fatigue like if I didn't have to get out of bed I could sleep for 12 hrs!  But that seems to be getting better. This drug has been subtle yet miraculous and improved my quality of life!"


"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."


"First time with BV, got prescribed flagyl 2x for 7 days.
How I took my antibiotics/probiotics:
1. Antibiotic after breakfast
2. Probiotic right before or with lunch
3. Antibiotic after dinner
Tips:
-Take the antibiotic with food in your stomach to avoid naseua.
-Drink green tea and exercise daily to increase energy and reduce tiredness, which was a common symptom.
-Use vagisil body wash down there to help balance your vagina pH levels and keep it fresh.
-Wear cotton undies.
-Take probiotics supplements or eat yogurt.
(Continue to take them after your antibiotics are finished to replenish your good gut bacteria and avoid future infections!!!)"


"Yes I have had RLS since I was nine years old. Experts say that children cannot experience RLS, but I can remember it clearly when trying to sleep and at Saturday morning picture club! When I flew to Australia it was so bad I wanted to jump off the plane! I even get it in my arms. Now in my sixties and still a sufferer. I don't eat or drink after 6pm and only have one coffee at 8 in the morning. Last night was a bad night with it in my left leg and arms. I took two Gabapentin which is a greatfor relief and knocks me out. I cannot understand why there is no research into this awful condition. If I won the lottery I would fund research into a cure!"


"So after 17 years of horrific monthly periods due to my endometriosis, I finally had enough. I have "Microscopic Endometriosis", surgery won't help.

So after everything, my specialist recommended an IUD. I was very skeptical, because I have tried hormonal birth control in the past and it made me really moody, with insane mood swings that cost me the love of my life. But after consulting with multiple doctors, they explained that the hormones are directly in the uterus and don't affect your moods. At first, I bled for like 2-3 months. It was awful. The pain was awful. But I stuck it out, it was my last option. I'm so thankful I did. After 6 months, periods stopped, pain stopped and my life has been pain free for 5 years. Love MIRENA!!!"


"Worst Medication EVER!! allergic reactions and cramps in leg from Losartan Mar, 2015, ended up on crutches, doc misdiagnosed fell on crutch broke rt wrist, metal plate in it now.Surgery on wrist, MRI showed complete torn ligament in rt ankle, Surgery on ankle, Dilauded 4 months, doc put me on Crestor/BP Meds, had a stroke, wheelchair bound,ran out of crestor/6 weeks, finally walking with cane, Doc put me back on Crestor. Allergic reaction to crestor after 2 months, rapid heart, dizzy, leg swelling,pains in chest,Massive leg cramps, Now left foot is barely usable, another ligament torn possibly,Then Mini Stroke, Dr stopped Crestor, Now I have Iron Deficiency ISSUES. Been off Crestor since June but all these side effects are still haunting."


"40mg per day is normally considered a very low dose but is all that I need to prevent migraines. I tried just about everything else for years until I got on to Verapamil. To me this is a wonder drug."


"I've been on this for 2 weeks and don't think I can ride out the side effects any longer. Bad nausea and headaches. I've been on many other anti-depressants and rarely get any side effects. I react well to most rx's but this is the first time I've had such negative side effects. The nausea lasts all day. I've been pregnant twice and been on chemo and this nausea is much worse!"


"I have been taking this for night trips to the bathroom .
Started a 3mg  2 years ago and just started slowly increasing to 10mg. I stopped taking due to the side effects of rapid pounding heart beat, chest pains, dizziness, no real change in sexual functions which is good thing. Not a big change in night trips to the bathroom.
Off to the Doctor today."


"Worked fine. Mix water with crystal light lemonade first then let it get to room temp. Then mixed in MoviPrep. Tasted fine. My problem is the side effect 24hrs after the last dose. Lots of stomach discomfort and bloating, not from procedure since it had to be cancelled because doctor was away. Yuk...have to do this again next week....he did reimburse me the 50bucks for the script."


"I was on the pill for 10 years before deciding on Skyla. I'd say the process itself only took about 10 to 15 minutes. It was a little bit uncomfortable, and there was a pretty intense pinching sensation towards the end, but overall, I didn't find the insertion to be that painful. I did feel a little bit lightheaded afterwards, though. I had some cramping that day, but felt fine the next day. There was some minor cramping over the course of the week, but that has since subsided. I got the device inserted on the first day of my period, and bled for about 8 days afterwards. I did not have any spotting over the next month. My period arrived 4.5 weeks later, and lasted about 7 days. The only negative effect I've been experiencing are headaches."


"Dry mouth,dry eyes  and continued to urinate. I believe it is an expensive drug with the same side effects as most of the other medications in this class. This was very drying compared to say Gelnique. "


"Drank a half bottle of vodka a day,  35 years old, drank for 1 year straight.. Took baclofen 60 mg a day at night, 2 weeks in. All of a sudden, urge and cravings are now finally going away. I have to almost make myself drink. Because I'm so used to a buzz, I'm 2 days into it working finally and have had maybe 4 shots. Compared to half a fifth daily.. Thank you baclofen"


"Wide awake"


"Bactrim helped with my bladder infection symptoms, but I have had the worst headache for three days straight from it. It hurts so bad that I've been nauseous. I hope I never have to take this again."


"I have found that Ultram ER does not help the Restless Leg Syndrome. "


"I have suffered with chronic pelvic pain for five years. I had been on a variety of pain medicines with only minimal effect on my pain. My doctor at the pain clinic prescribed me methadone 5mg, three times a day with tylenol 4 for breakthrough pain. It greatly improved my condition and quality of life. Don't let the name scare you. Methadone provided me great relief from 24/7 pain."


"Worst experience of my life. Three months of bleeding, constant cramping, acne on my back (which I've never had in 24 years), and lightheadedness. Despite the terrible side effects, it ended up being pointless because why would I want to have sex when I'm constantly bleeding."


"The ease of use is great....unfortunately I have to give it up...I get the worst of the side effects. Severe moodiness/depression/roid rage bitchiness. I'm always angry and depressed at the same time. My sex drive is gone....and my face is broken out to the point where I get new blemishes daily. After reading reviews from people who suffered for months, there's no way I can handle another day, let alone week."


"Good out come with early presentation."


"SVT Tachycardia 30 yrs, episode 2/2016 caused me to go to ER with Adenosine.  Just had an SVT Ablasion 5/11 and was told to continue Metoprolol 25mg 1-bid to continue managing my Hypertension however my pulse is now low and it not above 55 advised to not take.  Today BP 151/86 HR 60 so took pill and now a few hrs later feel crappy, retook 142/83 HR 51.  Thinking they need to refigure another med to manage the HTN that does not drop my pulse so low..."


"I've been on Yasmin for 11 months, I switched this year because on Yaz (5 years on it) I was spotting fairly regularly (more in the last 1.5-2 years).So we decided to try this one because it was the next closest to Yaz (just higher estrogen) and I did not do well on Mirena (18 months on it and I got awful cystic acne along my jaw line, I was losing my hair, and getting body hair in weird places lol I'm not a hairy person, nor do I have acne problems). I love Yasmin, it stopped my spotting, but my sex drive is basically non-existent. My skin is fine, I didn't have any strange side effects other than the decreased libido. It isn't 1 pill fits all Don't let the negative reviews scare you, talk to your DR and pharmacist about what's best for you"


"i have gotten Skyla about a year and a half ago and i never realized the effects i have gotten from it till recently. My hair has gotten super thin, i can't even touch my hair without it falling out.. my hair was super thick before i got Skyla. Also i realized how moody i get.. i would literally cry at EVERYTHING! Happy things or sad things.. i couldn't control myself, i was never like this before. Another thing is that even when I'm not on my period i would get random cramps. I don't recommend getting Skyla."


"I have been using Flomax (0.4 mg 1/day) for approximately 2 weeks, with a great improvement after the 2nd pill. My problem with urination wasn't too bad to begin with - slow start, weak stream, start/stop, up 2-3 times per night -- just inconvenient. I have experienced side effects with Flomax: get very dizzy when first standing up within 3-4 hours after taking the pill (feels like I'm going to pass out), so I take it at night; noticeable muscle weakness, but not severe. Also, sex is affected, weak orgasm. I tried Saw Palmetto (2,000 mg/day)--seemed to help some, but not very much."


"I came up positive on rapid streph test first time taking this medicine 7 day 500 mg.  It's day 1 throat is still swollen and can barely swallow no change yet.  Insomnia I'm so tired and I can't sleep my heart is racing. I hope this doesn't happen to you."


"When I was taking mirtazapine, it worked very well and very fast. My depression completely disappeared. I ended up stopping the medication slowly several months later after I had gained 40 pounds. When I stopped, my appetite went away and I barely eat now. I was not feeling well the last couple months. Very tired and anxiety and hot flashes. Come to find out I am now prediabetic. My blood sugar is really hard to keep up at a normal level. I loved the medication except that I gained so much weight so quickly and now I am stuck with blood sugar problems."


"I've been on Lomedia for over 2 years - no side effects, was very happy with Lomedia. Suddenly got switched to Blisovi 24 Fe because Lomedia was on Bacorder. Blisovi 24 Fe is the worst pill ever. I've been dizzy every day - my mood is terrible - can't stop complaining about stupid things. Got breakouts on my chin, around my nose, my skin got really oily. I've been taking this  pill for 3 weeks now. This is my 1st and last month on ever taking this terrible pill. DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL!"


"I'm a 52 year old woman. Started Contrave , July 19. Today is January 16. I've lost a total of 26 pounds! I monitor my diet. 3 small meals, healthy snacks. I do everything right! Exercise EVERY day, minimum of 1/2 hour on a stationary bike (at moderate speed)   My Dr. Is happy with my loss, but I'm NOT. People loosing 10 a month??? And I can't lose more than 30 in 6 ?????? I'm about to give up! I think I could lose an equivalent amount without Contrave!"


"I'm still in shock. No relapse this time.  This was my fourth try at getting rid Hep C. Harvoni was  by far the easiest in terms of side effects. I took for 12 weeks trouble sleeping and headaches were my mild reactions to the drug. I was diagnosed in 2001. I suspect I was infected in the mid 70's. This disease has been a constant reminder of my poor choices in my youth. I hope the guilt and shame I sometimes feel will abate. I did not want to die from this leaving my family the knowledge i died of a self administered disease. I quit drinking (30 years February 1 2016) and believe this helped keep me healthy until this medical miracle. Peace,  Mark"


"I took Vyvanse 50mg for about 4 months. As I started the medication everything was going great and I was focused. However, I was an emotional wreck while on it. People at work thought I was going crazy because I was angry at silly things, which is not my personality at all. Vyvanse seemed to work good in the mornings but wore off around 1pm. I took it around 7:30am. The medication really depends on what you eat. 12 hours is not true for me. I don't know about you but I don't have time to make sure I eat this type of food for dinner and this type for breakfast just so my my medicines will work. Some days the Vyvanse would not work at all and I didn't get anything done. Vyvanse also caused hair loss and turned grey. I'm 25 yrs old."


"Highly effective for joint pain.  Helped with muscle pain also.  Can cause serious GERD symptoms even with use of proton pump inhibitor and a Histamine2 blocker."


"I've had Nexplanon for 7 months.  I'm rating it an 8 because I have only one complaint: mood swings.  I'm a pretty sensitive person, but on Nexplanon I've experienced (about once a month) a very serious sadness, almost like depression, when nothing at all was wrong.  Previous to this I was taking the pill (Apri) and I experienced some mood swings, but nothing compared to on this.  On the positive side, I love everything else about Nexplanon!  I don't have to worry about taking a pill every day or picking up prescription on time, insertion was quick and easy (Planned Parenthood) and I did have spotting a few months (for 10 days, then 12 days) but other than that my period has disappeared which is nice.  It's not for everyone but I recommend!"
