"I had an unexpected medical issue and was initially prescribed Buspirone to help deal with the ensuing depression. It took so long to kick in that all the other medicines I was taking made me suicidal. I talked to my doc who recommended a relatively new antidepressant called Pristiq. From the moment I started taking it my life changed for the better, no more suicidal thoughts, my days returned to normal. I took it for six months until I felt I no longer needed it. I reduced my dosage as directed and weaned myself off it. There were a few brain zaps as the dosage decreased, but once I understood what was going on everything was fine. The only downside I can think of was a decreased sexual drive, but with a great partner we worked our way through It."


"I've been on generic Wellbutrin xl 300 for 12 years . I was trying to quit smoking & this was recommended as it was also being marketed as Zyban at the time. For me, it helped with cravings and depression and I've never picked up another cigarette.  There are 2 things that bother me.  I cannot sleep without also taking Trazodone. I just drift in and out of a light sleep otherwise. The other thing that may or may not be related to WB is that I have chronic constipation.  I say may or may not because I'm scared to get off of WB to see if that's what's causing it.  Different drugs work differently on different people of course but, like another person suggested, it also kept me from gaining weight until menopause. Hope this helps."


"I started Fetzima 4 months ago.  My blood pressure went up dramatically to the point that now I am on blood pressure medication.  I am also irritable now.  I see my doctor in one week and I will tell him to change it.  I've never had a blood pressure side effect from medication before.  My blood pressure was also normal."


"Great results."


"What you read about Lunesta's taste is so right. Lunesta is GROSS. Is took about 20 minutes for the "taste" that everyone complains about to show up. It did not help me sleep at all. I was half awake all night and when I was asleep I was having weird dreams. It's 12 hours later and every time I sip water or anything it still tastes like I chewed a tylenol or something. "Bitter" or "metallic" taste is an understatement. Did not work, tasted horrible. If I could give this back to the pharmacy I would. Back to Ambien for me."


"I had the worst experience with it. It increased my heart rate to 226 beats a minute. I literally thought I was dying."


"I finally went up to 30 milligrams a day. It helped tremendously with my anxiety. I went off after I lost my insurance and had no withdrawals like I did with benzodiazepines."


"We had no results on this medication.  Granted we only took the 5mg but her emotions were so heightened she would start crying for no reason.  The teachers didn't see a difference and her grades started going down.  The side effects were to intense for her on 5mg, there was no way I going to go up and have it worse.  We are now going to try Vyvanse 10mg.  We will see if this change helps."


"I was on Accutane in high school, it worked for a few years, I took birth control for 8 years so that may have helped a lot with the acne too. After having my daughter I went off birth control permanently. My acne returned pretty quickly. I had moderate/severe acne on my cheeks and jawline. I saw some improvement with Epiduo after about 3 weeks but its been 10 weeks and I have only a couple active zits. My skin looks good, just the old scars left and I think it's even helped minimize those. I don't really like prescription medicines in general, I prefer natural, but, this surprisingly works."


"I have been on Levothyroxine for 2 months and was switched to Synthroid for another 2 months.  I know it hasn't been long but it is driving my body crazy.  Here's how:  The Levothyroxine made my hands and feet swell badly so my doctor suggested switching to brand Synthroid well now my face and jaws are swelling.   I went to the emergency room they did a CT Scan and said it was swelling in my tissue. But my doctor is insisting the medicine is not the cause and to stay on it.  "


"One month after being on Levothyroxine (only 25mcg), my hair started to fall out like crazy. (did not have hair loss problem before). I lost 40% of my hair volume in the 4 month-period. I took my courage to stop taking it.  2 days after stopping, my hair loss has gradually subsided.  3 weeks after I stopped the medicine, my hair loss has started to go back to normal. I am hoping my hair to grow back.  Another side effect I suggest from the medicine is that I have "burning & dry mouth".  That made me very uncomfortable.  I feel like a normal person without the medicine.  I still have issues with the dry mouth sensation, but a lot better. I hope it will go away."


"Great for panic disorder."


"Reading the mixed reviews here, the first thing that jumped out was people have problems swallowing.  This has happened to me quite a bit recently, using metroprolol succ ER 25 mg daily, for about 2 years now.  I did have great success in reducing my pulse (130 resting pulse for 20 years, adjust to 90 now).  Overall I was happy with it, but now somewhat concerned with long term use."


"After getting a bad infection meningitis I had some long term damage. I have migraines daily and fibromyalgia and interstitial cystitis. I can't take most pain medication because it can make it worse. Morphine is the only one that has worked for me & I'm able to live a life!  It's been 7 years and my dose has stayed the same. I take morphine sulphate IR 30, 3 times a day. No side effects no more.  I can drive & it doesn't affect daily activities. But be careful it causes constipation. So if you are on it I recommend that you take a stool softener & vitamins."


"Took 1.0 right after surgery for ten years. Then special ist concerned to high. Conservative drop to .95 then dropped to .88 when dropped to .88 was very tired put on 5 lbs in 5 dayswas a weight watchers person has lost 20 pounds took me ten months to lose 20 then change in dosage gain 5 pounds added steps up to 20000 a day and cut portions back more finally ten months later have kept 20 pounds off . I worked hard to do this since the change from .95 to .88 made me very tired. Now they want to drop it to 65? I am still tired constipated and do not understand why if I am borderline? Whatever that means why would you stop it to .65 very disappointed. Have moved to clovis California will have to find new doctor. Change in meds really stressed"


"Happy and free of anxiety."


"I started with 2 mg and went to 4 mg. Within a few days I started diarrhea.
Doctor couldn't give a reason. Went back to 2 mg and still had it. I found the answer in the side effects. I am now on 1 mg with no problem."


"This stuff is absolutely disgusting as everyone agrees. With all due respect to the lemon suckers, that didn't help me.  Ginger Ale chasers helped a little and you have to use a straw. I finished the first one in about  a 1/2 hour   and almost instantaneously barffed it all up. Called Dr. and told me to start the 2nd a couple of hours early  (10 p instead of midnite) and I could do 2 oz every 1/2 hour.  Got thru 10 oz and couldn't take any more.  Luckily I was cleaned out enough and had no polyps because this was my first and last colonoscopy until their is a better prep."


"As someone who has a needle phobia and a history of factor five in my family, I opted for the mini pill. I also have chronic migraine headaches, occasionally with auras, so that limits my options again. Upon readings Errin's reviews, I was nervous. However, a month and a half in, I have no weight gain, no moodiness, the only negative thing for me was my periods. Out of a month and a half, I have had 3 weeks of bleeding, however it is lighter than usual and took my period down from 7 days average to 3-4 days average. I take my pill at the EXACT time everyday, I recommend setting an alarm. Also,I have been diagnosed with seasonal affective disorder (a form of depression) and generalized anixety disorder, and Errin has had no effect on my mood"


"I'm 39 years old and I've been experience high BP for a few months - 190/140.  I was on Effexor and dr immediately took me off that and replaced with Viibryd and added the Bystolic 10mg.  Definitely feeling better...no more heart beats THUMPING in my head.  Been a bit dizzy/lightheaded, but I'm contributing that to the change in anti-depressant, but after reading everthing...not quite sure.  I've had some loose bowels too, but who cares as long as the my pounding heartbeat is gone.  I never felt bad before, but the medicines have given me some peace of mind."


"Broke out with hives probably  like 5 or 6 months ago then had them everyday. Tested for allergies, didnt change diet nothing new, and didnt change detergrnts. Nothing seemes to be the root cause. Was put  on various medcines such as predisone and allergy meds and doxepin. Finally got xolair shots. Got two shots at once and have to get them once a month but it worked!! Honestly  hives all over your body everyday really brings you down. This brought  down my hives a lot in a few days then after A few days i was hive  free.going from everyday for months to nothing for the past week have really improved My self esteem. Its looking really good so far. Reccomend it if youve tried everything else"


"I have lost 40lbs, feel better, more energy. I recommend it to anyone that has tried everything like myself"


"I have been on Belviq since September 2014 and have lost about 50 lbs. Today 1/27/2015 I weigh 195 lbs. and back in September I was at 248lbs. I love Belviq so much it's one of the best prescriptions I have ever gotten. Because Belviq helps me control my appetite I am able to eat less and I eat healthier food, also I have started working out for an hour a day, 6 days a week since I started Belviq. It's the most amazing medication that exists it really has changed my life for the better."


"I had a problem with biting my tonuge while asleep. Dr. said it was some type of seizure. I've been taking Klonopin for 15yrs and only had to increase the dosage from 0.5mg to 1.5mg over this period. I take it at night and have no side effects that I can tell. Hope it keeps working as it does now."


"Effective at controlling burning and itching of hand dermatitis."


"Benign Prostate Hyperplasia for about 5 years. Flomax worked but horrible side effects (muscle aches,
dizzy, stomach pain, dreams) so switched to Rapaflo about 8 months ago, works very well on small tab of 4 mg, but some side effects, dry sex, lack of interests (which at 65 isn't that bad) so I quit medicine for 3 weeks but my flow is so
slow I developed infection, so then I start again for a month or so, but this time I am developing heart pain and stomach churning, gas. etc. with it so don't know whats
next. "


"Was in a horrific motor vehicle accident, broke spine, pelvis in 5 places, total separation of spine and pelvis, right/left arm, left ankle and left hip, I now have Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, bulging disk, scoliosis and spinal stenosis. I took Lorcet 10/650 for several years with no relief.  I didn't want to take the very strong pain medicines so I finally found an awesome pain Dr. That started me on Percocet 10/325 this has made a world of difference in my life.  I've gone from non-functioning due to overwhelming pain to now functioning. I've had no side effects at all. I also have permanent nerve damage. This medication in conjunction with Soma 350 greatly helps keep fibromyalgia relaxed, eases  pain, I'm never pain free, I don't expect to be."


"In 1990 due to the stress of my father and my husband having life-threatening health issues, I, who was a very healthy person, wound up in the doctor's office explaining of my excruciating abdominal pain, my weakness, nausea, and desire to sleep.  I was given a prescription for Librax. and was told if it was Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Librax would help me. It was a life-saver!  Since then I've suffered three or four episodes, but none as severe as the first two.  They always come during a time of 'life stress' issues.  No insurance.  No negative side effects of Librax for me!"


"My mother broke out seemed like overnight with red bumps that quickly turned into dry patches. The dermatologist knew right away what it was. We have been on the Methotrexate for 6 weeks and the flaking is totally gone and is healing. The dose was 2 Friday morning, 2 Friday evening and 2 Saturday morning. Only side effect was appetite and very tired for 2 days."


"I had good grades. I could concentrate. But, I became very aggressive. I had to stop taking."


"Relpax is effective in taking away migraine pain 99% of the time.  For me, the best part was making me feel less nauseous, and less sensitive to sound/light.  The WORST part was the side effects.  I experienced muscle cramps in my upper body for about 30 minutes."


"I have been using the patch for over 3 years now. It is the first birth control method I chose, because I was afraid of forgetting to take a pill every day, and it sounded easier than other forms of birth control.

When I placed the patch on my stomach that it gave me cramps/nausea,  so I alternate butt cheeks instead. This also: keeps it hidden, the edges of the patch have excess adhesive, so it sticks to underwear rather than clothes, and the underwear/swimsuit keeps it in place if sweaty/wet.

At 30 yrs, 5'11 and 150 lbs, I've gained about 10 lbs in the past 3 years, so probably unrelated to the patch. My biggest complaint is that my occasional headaches have become bad migraines, so I may look at other options. Loved it until now."


"Be careful using this medication, and do not use it longer than 3 days without talking to your doctor.  I took this medicine once a day for months at a time to help with sinus and allergies, and I just found out I have tachycardia as a result (the electric impulses in my heart are messed up and now it beats dangerously fast).  I am at risk for a stroke or a heart attack and will likely have to take medicine the rest of my life to lower my heart rate.  Don't let this happen to you!"


"This medicine makes me VERY sick"


"I have found this drug also acts as a muscle relaxant and aids in the pain relief efectiveness of Vicodin, oxycontin in 2.5-5mg

Dose, reducing the frequency of increacing the dose of these pain relievers due to developing a tolerance to these narcotic drugs in long term chronic pain illnesses such as mine. This drug also reduceses the stress and fatigue associated with my illness anwould most likely work well for other long term chronic pain illnesses such as Fibromialgia."


"Degenerative disc disease, 3 surgeries, 12 shots and a fusion.  Life is horrible without this."


"I was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia earlier this year. My old doctor prescribed me Cymbalta and it didn't work. I was off from work for 2 months because of the pain. All I did was layed in bed suffering. Seemed like I would never have my normal life back. I went to another doctor and he prescribed me Lyrica it lessened the pain within a day or two. Now I have some of my life back. I still have a little pain but Lyrica has helped me and changed my life."


"I miscarried at almost 3 months June 16th. A Dr felt I should get depo to prevent another pregnancy to soon and to stabilize my uterus. My period Started again July 26th Around the First of August I began putting on weight seemingly overnight. When I got my next period all hell broke lose. I began bleeding on and off. Some days light so days heavy. Some days brownish some days bright red and it has not stopped until now. Early October and I've gained about 13 pounds. I've been doing at home exercises to keep from getting to big and it has helped. It's October 6th and the bleeding has greatly diminished and seems to be stopping. So I've been bleeding for 2 months. I did not go back to get a second shot which was due Mid September. No more for me"


"I have been on it for years. My sons are also on it..if taken as the directions of your doctor its almost perfect. Our moods are stable and we almost feel normal."


"My 18 year old daughter has been on Daytrana patches for more than 5 years.  She needs a 40 mg dose, and 30 mg is the strongest patch. Benefits are MANY.  Though 9 hours is the recommended time for wearing the patch, my daughter routinely wears them for 14 hours daily to get school work and homework done.  She wears them 16 or more hours if she has a date, or there is a school function that lasts late e.g. PROM.  This has allowed her to avoid those horrible "impulse control" issues most ADD kids experience.  Daytrana has allowed her to avoid the highs and lows that occur with other medications.  We love Daytrana."


"The NuvaRing has been absolutely wonderful for me. I've been using it for about 2 years and I just can't say enough good things about it. It's so easy it is to use and it's been extremely effective; not just in the obvious prevention of pregnancy, but also with controlling my acne and maintaing my weight; No moodiness, no depression. I understand that there isn't a "one size fits all" when it comes to birth control, but I would recommend to anyone that they at least give this a try to see how it suits them. Since it seems that everyone goes online to post their horror stories, I just wanted to say something positive about the NuvaRing because I think it's one of the best forms of birth control out there. I'll never go back to the pill!!"


"I've tried MS Contin a few times over the years and finally given up. What I really liked was good pain control without the euphoria or crash of IR products like oxycodone. What I didn't like was, after a few weeks, developing hallucinations and delusions that were so... real. I actually listed it as an allergy on my med records. Others tolerate it well. I'm not them though. Morphine derivatives like Dilaudid cause me no problems. It sucks, and is terrifying, to wake up convinced the bed is covered in spiders, to the point of seeing them. Not for me."


"Took Yaz for PMDD and helped my symptoms related to my PMDD.  But, please BE AWARE: I ended up with a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). I am a 38 year old woman who is very athletic and extremely healthy...it's not just a warning for " smokers"!"


"I took 150 mg Wellbutrin XR (bupropion) for about three or four years. My doc upped the medicine to 300 mg and with that came a twitching side effect. This side effect actually went unnoticed for a while but then it started becoming more pronounced with time. It only affected my face which made it scarier. Stuttering, trouble swallowing, and Tourette-like uncontrollable movements on the right side of my face were some of my experiences. I have to say this medicine worked very well for me for a long time. I would even encourage others to use this medicine but everyone is different and the 300 mg dose just pushed my body over the edge."


"It works great, however, it did stop working for me after the first month. Apparently. I was on a low dosage once per day, but now I have put on the appropriate dosage, but because I am "backed up" I am taking Miralax to get things moving again, hopefully. Then I am to start back on Amatiza at this dosage which is appropriate for OIC. 24mcg 2 times per day with a full glass of water. So I hope it works again. When it was working, it was great. I went to the bathroom like normal!"


"This was THE BEST TREATMENT for me.  I was taking 1 Diflucan pill a day for 2 weeks and it did not began to relieve the discomfort of this problem.  One treatment of Gynazol took care of the pain, swelling and discomfort OVERNIGHT!  Talk to your doctor!"


"Just started taking this 3 months ago after being taken or Norg-
fe due to a few cases of spotting and 2 cases of 3 week long periods and lets just say I'd rather have the periods back again. I haven't had my period since I started Blisovi but every now and then I still get the killer cramps. It also caused me to gain about 5 pounds along with some severe acne or breakouts on my arms, shoulders, back, and even legs. Do not recommend at all."


"Propranolol is literally a miracle drug. Took it before a presentation today and I literally felt no nerves at all. I felt as if I was talking to friends and it helped me connect with the audience so well as I was so much more laid back. I do not think I will ever have a problem with presentations or interviews again after using this drug. Highly recxommend. I took 10mg"


"Helped a lot."


"I was prescribed this drug in my early teen years and it worked wonders at first. Not, at 20 years old it doesn't work AT ALL. I will sometimes have to take 2 pills at night and I will still wake up 3 hours later. I guess I built up a tolerance but I will be switching medicines. Plus I would find myself in the kitchen eating every night, and one had a blender out about to make margaritas.... This is definitely not a long term drug."


"I have  Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis). Aspercreme (Trolamine salicylate) had the least/mildest side effects of any other medicine I saw, and the price was great.  My mother had a frozen shoulder around 1985.  Surgery was recommended, but she wanted to first try the painful stretching exercises to break the adhesions.  This helped ease the pain enough to do them and recover.  Since then, I have used it occasionally for a cramping deltoid muscle in my neck/shoulder that would send me to bed otherwise.  Works really well when Tylenol is not enough, especially when trying to sleep."


"I Love This Birth Control. I forget I even have it! It's painless and leaves very little scaring. I got this in August 2010 and I have had NO problems! I spot from time to time but very little and not even every month that I even spot. I was told awful things about this and none have been true to me since I've been on this over a year. I will for sure without a doubt get this again. I love it."


"Absolutely improved my pregnancy experience by reducing my nausea and vomiting.  I was prescribed 2 tablets before bed, 1 in the morning and 1 mid day because I was extremely sick.  They always recommended it to be taken with an empty stomach. I only took 2 before bed with food (because I refuse to take any pill on an empty stomach) and it worked wonders. If I ever forgot to take them I was guaranteed a horrible day."


"After severely injuring my back while lifting a patient, herniating three discs, three failed back surgeries and multiple ineffective pain relief measures I finally accepted that I will need medication until a cure for spinal nerve damage is found. Using oxycodone means I can walk my dog, keep my house neat, enjoy life with my husband and live life again. I am scruptiously careful about how much I take and keep them under lock and key for the safety of my grandchildren. With great care this drug can give you your life back. However if a person doesn't take very seriously the potential addiction properties it can make a bad situation worse."


"I just started taking this medication yesterday. My craving have subsided which is great. No adverse side effects as of yet but one thing I notice is my mood is brighter. I believe this medication is in the same family as many antidepressants. I am a psychiatric RN and never would have considered myself depressed, but I feel better and brighter since taking this medication. I am not sure if my Health Plus will cover any of my future prescriptions but I will be willing to pay the cost. My goal, of course, is to lose weight. It is too early to determine if that will happen, but I intend to keep posting the progress."


"I am not obese and i do not take this medicine for obesity (i take it for anxiety)
One of the side effects for this medication is weight loss and loss of appetite, I have lost 20lbs since taking this medication. I don't know if you're able to take this medication for obesity but it does make you lose weight."


"Excellent drug for motion sickness. However, if you take it for a long period of time and then stop taking it, you will be nauseous for at least a week. "


"I have MS and experienced a severe relapse and spent a week in the hospital with chronic face pain. After determining it was Trigeminal neuralgia, my neurologist and I spent several weeks trying numerous treatments. Trileptal was the only one that gave me not only immediate relief, but I haven't had any face pain for months now!"


"I am a 27 year old female and started taking doxycycline for acne 4 days ago. I have never had acne in my life up until recently and my dermatologist prescribed me this. I was a little skeptical to take an antibiotic for acne but so far it's working! I would have a few large, painful pimples at a time along with many small comedones on my forehead and chin but after only 4 days of taking this I have seen a significant change! The pimples are receding and I notice less and less comedomes every day! I have not had any issues with nausea or headache but I have made sure to take it with a decent amount of food every day."


"This is THE BEST birth control I've come across. I'm seriously blown away. I have had zero mood swings--- even near my period, I had break through bleeding the first month and that was it, my periods are already so light and I'm only on the third month, my face cleared right up and has been less oily, I've lost weight... I'm on cloud nine. I have never had this well of an experience on birth control as I'm very sensitive to medications."


"I am a 20 years old male, I was never involved in sports in high school. I started taking Adipex February of 2013, it is now June and I have lost 57 lbs! I have gotten off the medicine for about a month now and only take a pill every now and then as I start to lose my motivation but coming from 334 lbs and only being 5'10" it is amazing the difference you feel in your entire body. I am a full time college student and that makes it hard to focus on your health, but Adipex does it for me. I have had the dry mouth and it does tend to make me extremely irritable sometimes, but still does the job I have gone from a 48 in jeans to a 44 and some 42s fit."


"Ladies after every urination u have to rinse ur vagina with warm/ hot water. I inserted the ovule yesterday morning. I experienced mild itching a couple hours later and i applied the cream...which was annoying because I felt damp and the key to a YI is staying dry. Anyway I think its working u just have to rinse urself with warm water after urination or u will itch because the medication and itchy yeast is passing through onto the outer vaginal area. Keep it clean and dry. I did catch this early on after taking antibiotics so..."


"I recently completed a year-long clinical trial with Forest Labs and went back to using my prior medication, Advair.  I have since noticed a definite difference in my breathing, coughing and wheezing.  I am returning to Tudorza immediately"


"I was born with 4 kidneys, and it seems some of the other reviewers "side effects" were actually kidney/bladder infection symptoms. These infections spread fast, and can be lethal. Amoxacillin is a gentle savior for me, I still have 3 of 4 kidneys, after surgery and countless urinary tract infections, I trust it very much. It can take as little as 2 days to go from UTI to bladder, and a day or so more to kidneys, nip it in the bud, at first stinging. Because if you start to feel constipated,  it's probably not, that is a kidney infection symptom. These infections scare the daylights out of me, it has been quite a while since I was hospitalized, amoxacillin is safe and much easier on the body than cipro."


"I started contrave 6 days ago.   I was concerned at first reading all of the reviews.   I wasn't expecting much.  The first few days I didn't change my diet.   I increased my water.   What I have noticed is that I am less hungry.  I am not eating the full meal because I get full.   I'm down 7 lbs in 6 days.    Yes I have had some side effects mostly Dry mouth!   That just helps me drink more water. So far I Am happy with it."


"Tried it and quit within 2 weeks. That was 6 years ago"


"I've been on this birth control for about three or four months now. My doctor prescribed it because I was getting to the point where I was sexually active frequently and she said this one was good, and it is! for pregnancy prevention, at least. But, it has a few downsides. This medication makes me very prone to panic attacks, mood swings, and depressed states. When I start a new pack, I always get a little nauseous and  I bloat easily. It's very on and off for period regulation. Sometimes I'm light, sometimes heavy, sometimes no period at all. That being said, my acne is gone and I'm not pregnant and my cramping is minimal. Does it's job, but not for everybody."


"Sore throat severe allergy symptoms loss of appetite body aches chest pain facial swelling blurred vision dry cough headache weakness"


"I have been on the nuva ring for almost 4 Months. 1st month it was cool. My body getting use to it. 2nd month I was fine no bleeding for the first 2 weeks of the month ever since then I have bled. Ive been bleeding for 2 1/2 months. Its so annoying and embarrassing. I haven't worn panties with put a pad or something since. I was put on Estradiol to help my body get passed the weird stage. But nothing. Now I know your reading this and your like hell no! But everybody is different. This is just my story..."


"I had it in for 2 months. Got hot flashes panic attacks and insomnia. Took it out, got migraines, hot flashes anxiety and irregular periods. My advice take the pill. It's annoying but it's a better method."


"Very effective but couldn't handle all the visits to the loo. After too many visits to the toilet I cut down to one a day. I ate two virtually fat free meals for breakfast and lunch and then took just one pill with my evening meal. Stopped me snacking completely, fear of accidents! steady weight loss approximately 1kg per week. Very good but stock up on the toilet roll. Taking one pill with just my evening meal means that my toilet trips are evening/night. This suited my lifestyle much better as don't have the kind of job where I can be dashing off every five minutes!"


"For the first time in 50 years, I have relief from migraines, since using botox.  I have a life now. I can make plans.  For the first 4-5 days after botox, I hurt from the injections, my neck hurts, but then I feel great for almost 3 months.  It's not 100% as I still get migraines but, they come less frequently and last for a shorter time.  I would tell people that it worth trying.  A little bit of pain for 12 weeks almost pain free.  I love it.  It has changed my life."


"Well, this was a last resort for my PMDD, which is pretty much destroying my life. I was VERY nervous about taking it - not interested in hair loss, weight gain etc. But I gave it a chance. 3 days in, developed a cluster of hives on left hand, and one on right hand. Extremely itchy. Absolutely no other changes in my products/lifestyle/food/etc.. So I know it's Yaz. Also all over burning/itchiness. Sun & showers make it worse. On day 4, realized I felt less..calm.. more anxious. Also finding it difficult to sleep. Doc claimed 'unlikely Yaz causing this'. Yeah, right. Told me to take Zyrtec for symptoms. Nope. This isn't working for me."


"35 year old male who has suffered with public speaking anxiety my entire life. In meetings my body and chest would tighten up, heart rate increase and if i did speak my voice would be shaky and i would often cut my self short. Although i got better with practice it was the one area of my life where i felt i was being held back.

I started taking these 6 months ago and they have changed my life.  I feel more confidant inside knowing the pills have got my symptoms in check. I find two 10mg pills work best for me about 45mins before the event.  In the last 6 months I have presented to large groups, held court in meetings etc. Wish i had discovered them years ago."


"Hi everyone. I am going to start by saying that every birth control works differently on every body and gene type, but I can say that TriNessa is showing me how horrible birth control can be.  I started taking birth control when I was 15 and have been using TriNessa since then.  This was my first birth control.  I was OK for the first 3 years of my life, acne great, no weight gain, no irregular bleeding, but my period was heavy and my mood swings were absolutely insane. From having serious depression to anxiety about everything.  For the past two years now, I have been starting to gain weight as I am 20.  I have put on at least 20 pounds and still have depression and anxiety.  I just went off of it today, and hope I can be myself again."


"I've been having problems sleeping due to anxiety and depression and was prescribed this. The first night/day was awful, I was extremely groggy and had a headache all day. I also had a problem with my eyes being sore, I'm not taking anymore."


"I took this medicine with lamotragine to treat major depression and speculated bipolar disorder. I think it worked well, it got me out of a bad fog, but it made me so tired. I had to sleep for a tleast 12 hours. If anyone let me, I'd probably sleep for 24. For most of the time I was taking 50mg. Then we upped it to 100mg and I was starting to sleep through my alarms, I was being late for work. So I took myself off of it gradually. I didn't have the money to back to the phsychiatrist. Anyhow, I got off of it, it's been a good 8 or so months. And the depression is back..or at least starting up again. I'm thinking that my only option is to go back on this medicine..but maybe only take 25 mg doses since it makes me so tired. Is this a bad idea?"


"This is the only allergy medicine that has ever worked for me.  I've been using it since it was a prescription only capsule and I'm honestly suffering without it.  Why they took it off the market is beyond reason?"


"Was prescribed (basically, handed a packet of pills) metronidazole by the company doctor on the Pacific island where I'm currently doing volunteer work. Five day course. By day two my dizziness and nausea had turned into uncoordinated gait and problems with fine motor control; that night I woke up panicking and completely dissociated from my surroundings. Went to another doctor who happens to be living in the same village as me, she told me I was having a rare and very serious sensitively to the drug. Miserable experience, but like I said, very rare. I'm sharing because the second doctor told me I was on it too long: if you experience any loss of balance or coordination on these drugs, even if you don't feel bad, you need to see a doctor."


"I have been fighting nail fungus for over 30 years;( I've tried grisefulvin, lamisil and then jublia in 2015. I did jublia for 10 months and then got severe skin reaction. Intense itching, blisters etc. The podiatrist had me soaking my feet, trying this cream etc. I went off jublia let my skin get back to normal which took a few months. I just restarted back on it after over a year off because its the only thing that has worked. The itching returned immediately I am trying to manage it."


"I have recently gone to a headache specialist after thinking no one is going to help me with my migraines and constant tension headaches. She gave me Zomig and it does really work. The first time I tried it I wasn't 100% sure my headache was a migraine since it felt different then the one I've always experienced. It wasn't throbbing from front to back all on one side but it did really hurt bad all on one side. I was pleasantly surprised. Maybe it was a different kind of migraine since I have just weaned off of Excedrin and 2 years of Tramadol use. A couple of days ago I had a bothersome headache that had been off and on in intensity for 2 days then turned into the normal migraine I have been accustomed to and the Zomig took care of it."


"I am 23 years old and had been using the pill for 5 years. I decided to try the Nuva Ring out because I was not religious about taking the pill at the same time everyday. After using the ring for 3 months, I am extremely melancholy, sensitive, constantly trying to break up with my boyfriend, always crying, and my back hurts. My boyfriend says it's "clock work" with when my period is about to hit because I always argue with him about something ridiculous. I am looking to switch to the patch because the user reviews are a lot better.The ring is useful because you remove it every 3 weeks. You get your period 2 days after you remove the ring, so there are no "surprises". If it slips out during sex, you just rinse it off afterward and put it in."


"I Have only taken my Ativan 3 times in the past month that I have had it. I really try to take it only on the times I can't control my anxiety and can not work because of it. I am so against taking medication including this one but the second and third time I took it I was happy I did. It allows me to function and get through the day feeling good. It really does take the edge off and also calms my heart rate,  As it usually is always beating faster throughout the day just from being anxious. Even though I still get paranoid about having to Take this medication when I really need it , I end up being glad I did. It works! I personally have no side effects either from this med."


"I can't wait until tomorrow. I took my last Avelox today and unfortunately it took me this long to figure out it was making me feel so sick. Nervous, shaky, nauseous and my whole body is fatigued. I can't concentrate on my work and feel dizzy. "


"I am taking SSRI to help me deal w my job, and daily life stressors.  I switched from Zoloft to buspar approximately 3 weeks ago, due to side effects.  I have sleep issues due to being a night shift person, and probably anxiety, so I'm on Ambien as well.  Lately, I'm having worse sleep problems, and having weird dreams.  I've read, Buspar can cause insomnia.  Planning on taking my dose all at once during my waking hours.  Anyone taking it just once a day?  And what's your experience.  Thank you."


"I have SLE, and I tend to contract UTI's pretty easily. Usually they'll give me Keflex or Flagyl, both of which don't seem to cut it. My current primary started prescribing it about a year and a half ago, and now I specifically ask for it. I had an AWFUL UTI for over a week, finally got to ER today, within a few hours, the worst of the symptoms were residing.... the burning, constant urge, abdominal and lower back pain/pressure. Honestly, I would give it 10 stars, but relief often comes at a price, although for me, they're temporary side effects - bad migraines, yeast infections, worsened photo-sensitivity, drowsiness. All medications have potential side effects. Communicate with your doctor & make sure it's right for YOU."


"My daughter was diagnosed with ADD in the  1st grade.  I didn't want to start her on a stimulant right away and our pediatrician recommended we try Strattera.  I am happy to say that my daughter is now in 11th grade and has been on Straterra her entire time in school...we went through all the ups and downs of titrating the meds, which combo worked and which upset her tummy but all in all this has been the best med for her.  She is now on 80 mg and has been since she stopped growing.  Unfortunately, the meds have gotten extremely expensive and even with a coupon, I will have to pay over $350/month to keep her on this until we hit our $5,600 deductible.  I am very disappointed in the manufacturer that they have hiked the meds so high."


"I have been on Meridia for one year under my doctor's supervision.  During that time I have lost 108 pounds.  My doctor has been able to gradually take me off of all 3 blood pressure prescriptions, simvastatin and metformin.  It has been very effective in helping me control my appetite and thus lose weight.  I have increased energy, sex drive, and generally a much better disposition and outlook on life.  It has been great for me.  I have another 12 pounds to lose to reach my goal weight of 174.  Once that is achieved, he intends to keep me on Meridia for another 6 months to enable my body to achieve the correct amount of Leptin production necessary to maintain my new weight and prevent me from regaining the 120 lbs I will have lost."


"I have tried the patch several times. However my problem with the patch is that when I perspire at work the patch no longer stay stuck to my skin and falls off. "


"Avandia had some side effects with me that the doctors thought was cancer. They insisted it could not be the medicine but after over a year of multiple scans biopsies and bone marrow tests, I chose to quit taking the medicine on my own. My blood sugar skyrocketed but my immune system started working again. I haven't had to go to the hospital since. "


"Stopped my period after the first pack and then after a month after not taking anything. Never experienced that with other birth control pills. Not going to take them again. The doctor no nothing about the pills they prescribed. Disappointed."


t Pac with Cyclobenzaprine (cyclobenzaprine)

"I used Deep relief cream 4 times a day. It took time and had a little bit of walking outside or at the gym slowly to kind of help the muscle move a bit. Stretching is also good! Back spasms are really bad. I hope you guys recover and good luck!"


"After two weeks, increase in blood sugar by 50 and back pain from day one, I will finish this month and see."


"Weight gain!! increased my hunger and affect the metabolism! Need to eat often and was not myself on it!"


"I have been getting the shot since having my 3rd baby 17 months ago. Honestly, the 1st year was awesome! No periods, no mood swings, and no weight gain! Actually improved my moods and I lost all my baby weight right away. I was also breastfeeding at the time. As soon as I stopped when my son was 12 mos old, I guess the hormones in my body changed and reacted differently with the shot. I started bleeding for weeks at a time. I would bleed light to moderate for about 3-4 weeks and then stop for about 2 weeks and start up again. I've now gained about 10-15 lbs. and I'm starting to break out a bit and I never break out. Also my moods are definitely off. I can really feel the difference. Up and down all the time. It was great while it lasted!"


"I have been on Arimidex for just over a year and have experience basically no side effects.  The only issue I have is my left hand and fingers tingle occasionally at night - enough to waken me, however, the doctor thinks it has more to do with Carpel Tunnel Syndrome - which I never had before.  I am going to be 70 years old soon, am in excellent health and shape as I work with a personal trainer.  Life is Good!"


"I thought I was having frequent UTI's the majority of my life. I did everything I could think of to prevent and treat them. The summer of 2013 and multiple negative UTI tests, I was tested for IC and a test to see the size of my bladder. Turns out my bladder was VERY large for my size. I not only began taking Elmiron (two pills twice a day) but also had to retrain by bladder by "going" every two hours. After about two months I started to finally feel relief that I had been searching for for over 10 years. I have been on Elmiron for almost two years. I have dropped from 4 pills a day, down to 3, and now down 2 a day.  I stay away from lemon and very citrus/acidic foods. My goal is to be off Elmiron by the time I want kids. No side effects"


"I have four days left of treatment, which has been for six months.  The side effects have been mental for me.  Anxiety, depression, insomnia, mood swings, irritability and rage all come and go randomly.  The virus was undetected at four weeks and this is my first treatment.  I won't know until three months post treatment if the virus will stay gone, but it's gone right now.  I am genotype 3A."


"I did my liletta insertion during my menstrual cycle and my doctor said thats fine cuz the insertion will be easier since my cervix or uterus will be more open and I did feel a tiny pinch. The nurse held my hand during that part and after that it was over. It took five minutes and than I went home. Because I had my period when  I got my liletta inserted cramping and pain was normal for me..but afterwards spotting is still there and I have mild cramps and back pain. I am in week 4 so its still too early for me to say if I like it  but for now its on and off but I am not bothered. I know everyone is different. I have 3 children so I don't plan to have anymore and I am 30 so this birth control works for me for now."


"I have been on Rapaflo for 2 weeks. Prior to taking Rapaflo my urine stream was weak. It is now far stronger, I can pee twice as quickly on average. Very impressive. Flomax caused me to be dizzy, Rapaflo doesn't. Two side effects; 1) as many others have written, absolutely NO sperm during ejaculation (a really weird thing, and I am glad I read this forum otherwise I would have panicked). 2) Nose bleeds that last 5 minutes, probably due to the pill lowering blood pressure and/or thinning the blood."


"I had been on Xanax for my severe panic disorder but it would wear off so fast I would find myself actually craving another one. I was honest with my doctor about the rising addiction to it and she put me on clonazepam. I stay calm and sleep better. I can go outside and go for a walk. I can hang out with my friend. I like it better than Xanax way more. G.J."


"53 female and have cystic acne and very oily skin .... Been on it about a month and I'm over the top happy no more itchy painful bumps in my scalp ears and face.... I am having hair loss but will push thru to see if it subsides .... Having dealt with acne most of my life I'll take thinner hair for clear skin any day ☺"


"The day one two pills does tend to wipe out the bacteria in my gut.  After having stomach issues on the first night of the first time, I do take a probiotic and one immodium at night.

First time I took this it wiped the infection in 48 hours. Second time 11 months later it did not work quite so well. Infection greatly decreased but did come back 5 days later.  I think part of the problem was that I still had a virus and mold allergy problems from rain as well as an infection so had trouble eliminating congestion.  I took a 5 day dosage and did have symptoms reoccur in a week. I do think it would have worked better if I had not had these additional issues related to a virus and allergies."


"After my VAD Stroke I am on plavix.  I have a toddler that I still nurse. I looked up plavix for several days & talked to several doctors. Some said it was fine, some said it was not ok. After talking to so many people about it, I felt that it seemed ok to nurse on. I've been on it for a month and yesterday I realized that my 2yo is constipated. We are weaning ASAP now because I don't know what else it's doing to him, but it's definitely getting through. I just wanted to post this somewhere for other nursing moms to see. We are currently only nursing 2 times a day right now."


"honestly at first i couldnt even tell anything was happening, i went in and out of stages and it almost seemed my acne got worse. that was just the epiduo pulling the dirt and junk and acne out. now 4 months in, my acne is completely gone. i had horrible acne as well. this has changed my life."


"I found that the pain relief was short lived and I gained 20lbs within a month..which made me more depressed."


"The pain in my legs from the hips to the knee was excruciating. I thought I had bone cancer. This lasted for 2.5 weeks even after I stopped taking the med. Walking was almost impossible even with pain meds."


"I have a bulging disc in the middle and lower part of my back. The doctors kept tell me to take NSAIDS but they would not do the job. Finally a doctor called in the Norcos for me and OMG they are a miracle drug. I have taken all kinds of pain meds because I am also a stone former and had multiple surgeries. This is a first for me and they are really good. I have been addicted to vicidin so pray these dont hurt me that way!"


"Accutane worked great for me.  When I quit smoking and started working out at the gym, I broke out on my cheeks and my back.  Took Accutane for 4 months (80mg daily) and had dry lips, dry eyes, dry face (moisturizer daily), very red and sensitive skin and peeling hands. Made it through with a little bit of suffering and I must say my face is 100% clear and it had been 2 months without it so far and my back is about 80% better.  Might consider another short treatment in the winter to try and combat my back a little more but so far very satisfied with my results. I know I was worried sick and contemplated taking it for weeks after reading reviews and then finally took the plunge.  Don't regret it for a second. Million times happier."


"This drug is okay. It calms me down if I take it as needed but it just makes me tired if I take it all the time."


"I tryed this for the first time last night and OMG the pain. Soon as I layed down in bed it felt like a million bugs eating away at my vagina .it burned and itched so bad I could not get to sleep with the heartbeat in my vagina it was not pleasent . My vagina felt like it wanted to push out the cream .the YI was not as painful as the cream that I put in me .so the morning is here and the cream is just messy its coming out and its in the toliet everytime I pee. So far I don't have the itching I had yesterday before the cream so I'm hoping tonight with the 2nd round want feel like the  first round .but if it does its going in the trash.I think it will cure a YI if you can stand the burning hell you will put your vajjay through."


"My 6.5 yr old son takes 5mg XR on school days only.has been on it for 30 school days.  He does great in school and it appears a miracle help to him. It does seem to wear off too early so I will talk to the Dr. About that next week. When he comes home from school and we try to do his homework it is a nightmare. He has a very mild case of ADHD.  He eats well so far. He sleeps better and longer now than he did before starting the medicine. But a few weeks ago he told me he feels his heart beating fast and pains in his left side in physical education. Took him for a complete cardio. Check with EkG, ultrasound and all kinds of other tests. He checked out in perfect condition. So we will keep an eye out and see."


"I experienced constipation and bought this because it said it was so gentle said take one two three. I mistakenly took three thinking that I had a serious situation was going to be gentle. Within 1 hour and 50 minutes I had severe cramps sweating and massive diarrhea that was at 6 last night it started it is 11:40 a.m. the next day and I am still experiencing cramping sweating and complete liquid diarrhea. Needless to say I will not be using this product again however to anyone please only take one maybe two max.  I could never take three and make sure you have nowhere to go for like 24 hours"


"Why I stopped taking this medicine:
1) didn't increase my sexual desires/thoughts
2) within 30-45 minutes of taking it, I would feel extremely drowsy for the 1-2 weeks, to where I couldn't hardly function. If I was sitting I would fall asleep where I sat. Hubby would wake me up to go to bed and I would feel out of it like I was drunk
3) While it acted like a sleeping pill for me shortly after I took it, I would always wake up between 4-5 hours after taking it and be up the rest of then night. This lasted the first 2-3 weeks.
4) the straw that broke the camels back is around week 3-4 I would get so upset/angry over the smallest issues, I felt more like the Hulk more than anything."


"I had Lyme disease and a subsequent RA dx, I have been on Plaquenil for 7 months. 200mg 2x a day and now 1x day, It has helped a great deal.
I was also taking Collagen and a few herbs for inflammation, I am doing much much better and able to do a lot of things I thought I never would again, I have occasional stiffness but it's hardly an issue,,, On the downside, I do have bad nightmares, not all the time but they are something I am not happy about, Anecdotally, they may be correlated to Alcohol, I occasionally get nausea and headaches as well but the headaches are mild and only once a week or so.
Fingers crossed that the side effects diminish and that this drug keeps on keeping on,,, I am 55 ...best to you all  D"


"I had tried so many birth controls before this one and finally my doctor recommended another one. It was Yaz. probably the best birth control for clearing acne, ever. After just two months I'm already noticing a drastic difference. I am so so grateful. I can't even remember the last three I was on before this one but some made my acne so much worse and I'm so glad I found this one"


"I went to my gynecologist for what I thought were vaginal infections. It felt like my vagina was on fire all of the time. She sent me to a great Urologist because she suspected IC. Sure enough I had a raging case of it. He put me on Elmiron. It took 5 to 6 months to begin working. My pain went away almost totally. I have experienced hair loss, that isn't that noticeable. I tried going off of it- Big Mistake! I'll be on it the rest of my life. When I sometimes eat one of the foods not on the IC diet and experience pain I take a Uribel...Another great medication! Elmiron is a miracle worker for me."


"I loved this medicine. It covered all of my symptoms and did not give a lot of side effects."

"I have had severe pain due to my Multiple Sclerosis. Started on Limbrel, after a few weeks I could feel the relief. I take it every 12 hours and I can feel when the hour is near to dose. In between I use Aleve but with much less dosing. This has been a God send for me and absolutely no side effects."


"I've had nexplanon implant for two and a half years. It wasn't so much a bad experience, I've had my period every couple months for at least 2 weeks. Just recently my period has lasted me about a month. Not necessarily heavy but really annoying. When I first got on nexlpanon I weighed about 125 - 130, and now I'm around 110. I've tried everything I could to gain weight from eating more to taking mass gainers. My body feels extremely weak and I'm always tired. I feel as if it's been getting worse."


"This medication has been a godsend for me. I've been on some other antidepressants, namely Cymbalta and Buspar but I couldn't quite get my head out of the funk.  Now, with Wellbutrin I feel like I'm awake and enjoying life again!"


"My child has been taking this for a few months now. We tried Concerta and after only the second dose he was having severe tics. Focalin has less side effects but his behavior is WORSE when he misses a dose than it ever was before he started taking this medicine. "


"Remember, this is just my personal experience. Everyone is different. I got the Mirena inserted on August 1st. I got it removed today (September 12). I have heavily bled every day for the past month. If it weren't for my husband coming home for two weeks next month, I might have kept it for a bit longer to see if it stopped. Other than that, it was fine. No other symptoms and insertion wasn't bad at all. Just a little cramping afterward."


"I learned to live happy in a depressive low. Lamictal, or lomotrogene messed that up. I'm very conscious of my emotions as a lot of people who have bipolar and choose not to take medication. So I know my aggression triggers, I know my anger sometimes comes on and I just want to argue. I know when I am manic. I know when I am sad and having suicidal thoughts. That 10 years no mood stabilizers, depressed the whole time but able to manage it as the disease This drug now it could have been the combo of lomotrugene and clonazepam. My brain began to fight itself I turned into a destructive manic with into a week I was trying to leave my gf and child, for a past ex delusional thoughts she was still in love with me. "


"I have been on the medication for exactly 3 months. I am 6 foot 2 and started out at 312. This morning I weighed in at 268. Of course it is not all the drug, I am walking and drinking lots of water. It has given me the help I needed to really get a great start. I am in a size 44 pant and on my way to my goal of 230."


"Finally a birth control that doesn't give me horrible side affects like mood swings and heavy periods. I barely get periods which for me is GREAT!"


"I have been taking this for about a month now and noticed a significant reduction in sneeze attacks and excessive allergy symptoms. I take this along with my regular Allegra dose. Taking the Allegra alone I would still get sneeze attacks but now with Flonase it is only occasional. Thank you Flonase!

"


"Following major jaw surgery, wires and screws were to be removed from my upper jaw, extending all the way to my eye sockets. I arrived at the center, was asked to sit in a dental chair, and had both arms strapped down. I wondered about that.

Then, versed was administered. Off to neverland? Never. When I awoke, thinking it was all over, the doctor was quite upset with me. I had unknowingly become agitated and combative and he was unable to begin.

Versed didn't work for me. I was very embarrassed to hear how the drug caused me to behave."


"I've been on Benicar HCT for 10 or more years. Have tried Losartan and water pills, but never trusted them enough to stick with them. Always back to the Benicar, and now with my insurance costing $240.00 for 90 pills. My side effects have been slight and so far worth the benefit in reduction of B/P. Just read other reviews on this site. One mentioned a weird noise like Morse code in his head. I get that frequently and have only recently come up with a way to describe it, sorta like an arching sound. The Morse code description fits also. Other than that, I've had some slight dizziness & sinus drainage. Now I'm soon to try the Olmasartan HCT. Mostly because of the price. With my insurance the Olmasartan will cost $20.00 for the 90 pills."


"Worked well except for the side effects...orthostatic hypotension caused me to faint, restless legs, and overeating."


"I am 58, married father of 2.  I had a major crash about a month ago.  Got addicted to gambling and finally told my wife, then the crash.  I have always had some anxiety throughout my life.  Nothing like this.  Been on it for 4 days, tired and sleep is so so.  My hope is that given more time I will see more benefits.  Right now it's a struggle to see getting better and tough for my son to see his Dad suffering. Dr says 1-2 weeks to see full benefits.

"


"i have lost over 10 pounds in 2 weeks and have had no problem with them at all... I am sticking to low fat labels and cutting out all the bad stuff, the tablets are great because it gets you in the mindset of knowing that theres consequences if you have a lot of fat."


"We use Dramamine prior to fishing trips.  However an old sea captain told me to take one pill the night before and then another the morning of the trip.  This way it really gets in your system.  It works!"


"This drug, like so many countless victims before me, has so effectively degraded my quality of life that I simply lack words to describe how important it is to be cautious before consumption of this deadly poison. I had a simple UTI at the age of 17; two weeks later my head began to throb and tingle. My hands were in so much unexplainable pain. I had never experienced anything like this at all  before in my life. Also, I had just recently triumphed over a five year battle with anorexia, going from 76 lbs to 105lbs - looking forward to a healthy future. Now, I experience this nonstop, chronic pain all over my body. I am only 18. Definitely a 0.5 out of 10, to be quite honest with you lot."


"Was given tramadol for extreme pain from kidney stone that would pass. Couldn't get into specialist for a week. Very thankful it really helped with the pain

Side effects for me sleeplessness, mild itching on face. Only made me tired and dizzy for the first hour or so."


"This is my first birth control pill I've tried and the first night taking this and I woke up with severe nausea and have been in the bathroom vomiting on and off for 4 hours now. Hopefully
 the nausea will go away and the vomiting will subside so the pill can do its job."


"I was given a single dose of Nucynta for pain after hip replacement surgery.  The side effects were just weird, a feeling of being disconnected from my body and mental confusion.  I was also nauseous with vomiting.  I never had this effect with Demerol, Percocet or Valium.  Maybe I was allergic to it."


"A great medicine. I'm on 40 mg daily due to the feeling of my food being stuck in my throat. It was so bad at one time that I purposely made myself vomit for relief. After having my esophagus looked at - and finding out I also have a small hiatal hernia, doctor said my "flapper" doesn't close, or stay closed. So here I am religiously taking this medicine and mostly loving life. If you miss a day you will again feel miserable. I will say that over the years I have experienced "breakthrough" reflux at one time or another but never for a second day. Very happy."


"I have herniated disc, osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, bone spurs, and more...I have been taking Norco 10/325 for 3 months now and have surgery coming up in June...spinal fusion and laminectomy of lumbar L4 L5.  Without this medication I would not be able to get out of bed most of my days and am very thankful to have somewhat of a quality of life.  I only take the entire 10 occasionally and break them in half to manage my pain.  I do occasionally get light headed and nauseated but I have found that I can avoid this by eating small meals throughout the day and drinking lots of water."


"This about the 4th time they have tried me on Statins... after a week on Zocor, have severe backaches, muscles aches, and pains in my wrists where I previously had carpel tunnel surgery. I have been on it about a week. I will stop it, since I trust my bodies response to these medicines. If you experience problems with any medicine don't keep taking it without telling your doctor."


"I have had excess facial hair since I was 17.  I was tweezing at least every other day before I discovered Vaniqa.  I have been using Vaniqa for about 6 weeks and have noticed a big difference in the amount of facial hair that has grown back.  I am now tweezing only a couple times a week.  This creme is pricey, but is well worth it!  I wish I had discovered it years ago!"


"Works great just works slowly."


"I've taken Fanapt for about a month and it feels as though I'm taking nothing for my mental illness. Plus I'm achy all over, have heart palpitations and feel agitated all the time. I'm going back to zyprexa"


"I had a back spasm. The pain went on for almost two weeks. I got a prescription for Skelaxin. It did nothing for me. Taking 800mg of ibuprofen did a better job."


"I would have given this a higher rating, as I used to love this pill. I went through 3 months in the beginning of irregular periods which I knew would happen, and once that was over these worked beautifully. No mood changes, no weight changes, regulated my period for months, and now I've been on it for a year? maybe? and for the past 2 months I've had my normal period, and then ANOTHER period 2 weeks into the new pack of pills. In 2 months I had 4 periods. Then the next month it was regulated and now AGAIN, 2 weeks into the pill I am spotting AGAIN. This is ridiculous. "


"I had angina due to blocked artery, started on 2 per day for a week then doubled up. Started to feel dizziness, severe  headaches, progressed to complete unbalance sensation. I also experienced constipation and joint stiffness. Now back to 2 pills 500mg per day for trial purposes."


"I've had Nexplanon for over a year now and I love it! I haven't had a single period and my cramps are gone. Along with constant migraines. I would recommend this birth control to anyone. It's so much easier than taking the pill every day."


"I am a 25 year old female. I have been constipated since I was a baby and nobody knew why. I always had to strain to go to the bathroom. As a matter of fact I had to mentally prepare. I had to focus on my breathing to try to cope with the pain and fear of going to the bathroom. Sometimes it would take me 2 hours for nothing. I have used Amitiza for 18 months now AND IF THEY EVER TOOK IT AWAY I WOULD START A RIOT. I go to the bathroom about 4 times a week. No pain,no strain, and its soft and not hard.  My stomach is so much flatter. I can see I actually have a shape. I lost 10 pounds of waste the first 2 weeks. I feel lighter and happy. Going to the bathroom is a breeze. Sometimes I get nausea. But the cons are light compared to the pro."


"I have had a 30lb weight gain since May of last year, so I finally was able to get Saxenda prescribed to me! And I am thrilled! I just finished my 2nd week and I have lost NINE POUNDS in 12 days! This is with NO excercise other than normal walking at work and house cleaning. It has curbed my appetite I have been keeping a daily food journal , I am on dose 1.2 and have a VERY hard time eating more than 800 to 900 calories a day and keeping my carb intake under 90 or less. Of course the low calories are the largest part of the weight loss. I have found that Saxenda has given me the ability to walk right past any snacks , I am excited to be on this  journey! Will give an update on weight next week."


"I'm a medical doctor (anesthesiologist), and also I'm a scuba diver, I was having strong problems of motion sickness, at one point just seeing the boat and  I was in a motion sickness state. I started taking MAREZINE one pill the night before and another 1 hour before going on the boat and since then I've never had motion sickness."


"I have been using Cymbalta for two of years for neuropathic pain in my feet. It works very well most of the time at the 90mg dose I am taking daily. There are days when I have done some activity that aggravates my back and I have to take an extra 30 mg. This helps but I experience the hot flashes at the 120 dose. I do not have the night terrors but there are times when I have run out of the prescription and if I have not had it for a day I get very vivid dreams. They are not scary but if I wake up from one I'm up until I settle my brain down. Erectile Dysfunction has been a problem and I address it with Cialis or Viagra which are expensive even with my coverage. Reducing the dose to 60mg the day before sex helps."


"Lamictal has helped with the extreme highs; now they are at a normal level. But that being said, it has only helped the lows a little bit. The lows are still pretty low, so I wish Lamictal helped a little more with that. But I don't experience any (noticeable) side effects, so that's great. I would definitely recommend this!"


"It is a bit pricey but has been very effective at keeping my blood pressure in check. My readings have been very consistent.  I take the 80 mg and I have not experienced any side effects at all.
I haven't had any insurance but I get it for $39 with a prescription discount card.  I will see how the cost is when I get Medicare D."


"I took Levaquin 750mg for 3 days and two days later I still feel light headed, nauseated, chills, can’t concentrate, no energy.  Overall horrible.  "


"I tried cymbalta before and I gave up two times many side effects, but after trying all others medication like gabapentin, savella, lyrica, pain killers, I decide to give a last chance, and finally work, the first 3 weeks I have all kind of side effects but eventually pass, I started at lower dose of 20 mg once a day then after a month 40 mg a day for two weeks and now I am taking 60 mg once a day. I still experience some moods issues, but my pain went from 10 to 3 and so far I have been on 60 mg for a week, so I hope it keep helping me with the fibromyalgia and anxiety."


"I took this about 3 years ago for a massive mental breakdown I was having panic attacks multiple times a day I couldn't get out of bed I couldn't leave the house I couldn't eat I couldn't do anything I was prescribed this and ativan and eventually after probably a month of horrid horrible experience I started to come out of my anxiety depression all of it I came off of the drug probably a couple months later and was completely fine for about 2 years with just normal anxiety that I could manage. I tried it again a couple weeks ago for the same reason and it was hell was suicidal within the first 3 days in every side effect I can think of I discontinued immediately now looking for something else "


"It hits with a stomach pain but after taking it days ago. I feel more better. Make sure you'll take the medicine with a heavy meal. You truly feel it cleanse."


"I was prescribed Zoloft 60mg twice a day. I didn't like the Zoloft and now take Lorazepam 1mg 3 times a day, it makes a world of difference."


"I had mild rosacea when I started using metrocream 0.75%. It made me break out extremely badly all over my cheeks and nose. I think it clogged my pores, making the redness and Rosacea much worse. Very disappointed in the setback it gave me."


"The bad reviews are true! I've been on this for over three months now and I hate it. My boobs swelled up one full size and are CONSTANTLY tender and sore. I gained about five pounds, and I really feel like it increases bloating and abdominal discomfort because that's what I get immediately after I take my pill. I've also developed a daily headache that starts in the afternoon and lasts until that night. Annoying and probably dangerous. I've grown to hate taking this pill. My anxiety and depression were already bad but this pill just zaps all my energy and motivation and puts me in extremely bad moods that affect my relationships. I'm going to ask to be switched to a low dose pill or go back to Paragard."


"I hated lexapro I tried it twice with 20mg and had to stop taking it, Every time I took it I threw up a lot, I felt horrible I felt like a zombie, I also had mild hallucinations that were not fun and rapid heartbeat it was just awful."


"Few weeks ago I took Prednisone for 5 days. I have pretty bad case of Tennis elbow ( can't open a can, comb my hair, turn door knob, tie my shoes....). I took 50 mg first day, 40 mg second day, etc.
Only thing I can tell is I had hard time sleep for first two days of treatment. Other than that it was like taking placebo. Absolutely no difference, still in pain.
I am surprised and puzzled."


"Go for the methadone. I've been an opiate addict for 10 years. I've been on methadone for two months now and I feel better than I ever have. I get my dose early in the morning and it keeps me well all day. I hardly ever think about getting high anymore. It's a better life. It works. It will take a week or two to find your appropriate dose but when you do you will feel so much better. I go to work and take care of my family. My love life with my life is better than ever. I can play with my son outside. It's great. If there's hope for me, there's hope for you too, my friend."


"My vagina is worse now than the night before!! I have used monistat plenty of times, I decided to use this and I wish I never did, I woke up at 6 am after putting in the cream the night before and it's so swollen, red, and itchy down there I can't even close my legs it hurts so bad!! Never again!"


"Coughing worse after taking"


"Dear God, grant me the strength to get through this... I REALLY regret not just going to see an OBGYN or something. I've never had anything itch so terrible in my life. I think many of the girls are in pain simply because of the itch magnitude. "Some irritation & itchiness DURING insertion" is like false advertising of side effects. More like, this shit will make your brain tingle & you won't know what the hell to do with yourself after all the stuff starts bursting out. I thought the insertion itself would be the worst part; I was wrong-it's the easiest. Fifteen minutes later I'm catching my breath at times at how badly this stings/itches. Never. Ever. Again. Put it in before bed, now it's 3 AM, I'm wide awake."


"I got this inserted 3 years ago, my arm hurt for one day with no bruising, and then I literally forgot about it for the remaining time. No periods ever, and never once pregnant. No weight gain. Most convenient form of birth control ever used, but it may just be the way my body has reacted. Got it reinserted for the next 3 years and got some bruising, but not too bad."


"It helps you see the bright side of life and calm down."


"A two-year depression vanished in just 24 hours."


"As soon as I started taking Xanax I started to feel much better. I have had anxiety and panic attacks for years and Xanax has really helped me. I have had zero side effect from taking it. So far going well."


"Have an infected tooth was prescribed 600mg ibuprofen alternating with tylenol every 6 hrs (3pm take one type 6pm take the other sort of thing) and T3s with Codeine for over night to help me sleep. Took 1 t3 at 1pm and I'm wide awake at 2am in agony from the pain and waiting for my next ibuprofen to kick in. T3S are crap!!!"


"I have been on Tramadol for about 2 years now for my back pain associated with scoliosis. I take 200mg daily. It has worked great! Although just had to up my dose to 300mg daily. I'm afraid that my body is going to get immune and I will have to take more."


"I've had it for 2 years and it's about to get removed! I have about 2 periods a month, I'm always tired, the cramping in one side is excruciating "


"There is no medication that will work with 100% accuracy. And this one is the same, I truly hate needles and this has definitely helped me to keep my levels normal with less poking at my skin. You have no idea how hard it is to have diabetes and hate injections."


"My Husbend is overweight.  We took this drug to help him lose weight.  However everyone in his family has diabetes or pre-diabetes.  His A1C at the time was 5.7 and he weighed about 210.  He is 5.6.  The weight should be 165-170.  I don't know however if we took the brand name or a generic form.  I also don't remember the amount he took.  Anyway, he lost like 5-10 pounds on it and after that no more.  But we saw around that time a rise in his estrogen from 35 to 49.  The lab say that it should be up to 40.  When we married 2 years prior, it was 35.  So I knew what it was to begin with.  I can't say for sure that metaphorine did it.  However,  we got off of it and now one year later it went back to 35.  Trace your estrogen before taking this"


"I am so upset that this new medicine did not work for me. I must have had an adverse/allergic reaction to it because I only took it for two days and I woke up with sore calf muscles, the worst stiff neck, really bad muscle pain, and a horrible sore throat. I did experience insomnia both nights as well. I called my doctor on the third day and was instructed to stop taking it right away. I thought this was going to be my miracle drug, I'm tired of all the different medicines and crazy side effects. I'm glad that it is working for others, hopefully I will find relief soon."


"When I reached my pre teen years I started having a never ending period cycle with a two-three day break in between. I always had a wonky period cycle. I started my period when I was 11 and it lasted for a normal week in March and didn't come back for a year. It then evened out and became normal until my 14th year when it started to become my life. It would go from 3 months straight to 3 months off and then to many months on and only a couple weeks off and then only a couple days off by my 17th birthday. That's when I was finally trial run through the process of several different BC pills and this one ended up working amazingly. I'd rather not have it at all than have it every day of my life! But now I can't afford it so I have to say bye."


"I've been on Lexapro for two months now. The first 4 weeks I had very minor side effects. Dry mouth, dilated pupils, etc. VERY minor and only lasted 2 days each. Two months later I can tell you this medication is amazing. I suffered from very periodic anxiety which turned into panic attacks on some occasions. It was always in the back of my mind as to if or when it was going to happen. That's no way to live. I feel focused with clear thought now. I still laugh and feel every emotion...I just don't worry about things like I used to before Lexapro. I'm happier and have a more positive outlook on difficult situations in my life now. I find myself being much more social now too. Miracle medication for sure!"


"I started this BC after going to the doctor and having serious periods that came every two weeks almost and cramps that were out of this world.  I am now on my second week of the third pack, so been on for about two months and a week and I haven't stopped bleeding/spotting for about seven weeks.  I am constantly having to buy tampons and pads but for the past two weeks it hasn't stopped.  Called my doctor and was told I needed to stick with it cause it take three months to get in the system before it starts working like it supposed to.  The only thing this has done is keep me from breaking out.  I have gained around ten pounds and hoping to not gain anymore.  Not sure if I would recommend this to anyone."


"My boyfriend and I had sex and the condom broke. I'm normally on birth control but had an adverse reaction to  a new prescription and stopped. We immediately drove to Walgreens and bought Plan B One Step over the counter. I was frightened by the amount of side effects people mentioned in previous reviews. All I had was a light headache and I was tired, but these only lasted 1-2 days. My period started about 10 days after taking the pill (and about 3 days earlier than normal) and it is a very heavy flow, much heavier than normal (which is fine with me if it means I'm not pregnant.) Just give it time and try not to worry. It WILL work. $53 is DEFINITELY money well-spent"


"2 or 4 mg doesn't seem to do much of anything for me. Maybe I need a higher dosage!"


"I see so many people here rating this medicine as a lifesaver, and especially thankful because it allows them to play with their kids. Its the same for me. I still have a very low quality of life and spend a lot of time in bed, but without it I would barely be human."


"I've been on this pill for about 9 months now, and while I love not having a period and no mood swings. I've had terrible acne, breast tenderness (to the point of walking is painful) and I've put on about 15lbs. I've even increased my exercise and gone on a diet and I'm still putting on weight. "


"I have suffered from panic attacks for about 12 years.  Because I have a brother who became addicted to xanax and ended up detoxing in a hospital I have been afraid of all medication.  After a major scare concerning a health issue I found I could no longer ignore the consequences of the attacks.  I have lost 20 lbs in 5 years and am now very underweight.  I had no appetite and dreaded meals.  I started taking Celexa 3 weeks ago and the change is amazing.  I still wake up in the middle of the night and I do have very vivid dreams.  However, now when I wake up and do not go into a panic attack.  I am eating 3 meals a day.  The only side effects I have are headaches and constipation.  I would recommend this medicine."


"I found Amitiza moderately effective as a laxative, mostly just reducing straining.  The side effects were outstanding, however.  Abdominal sensations went from offensive to extremely pleasant.  I spent the whole week that my presciption lasted laying around feeling like a cat in front of the fireplace.  I don't think my doctor approved."


"This drug will knock you out for sure, but it has some really crazy side effects that I didn't think would actually happen to me, mainly doing stuff that I don't remember at all -- one night I made an extremely hefty online purchase and had no recollection of it. I also "drunk text" on Ambien, or otherwise say things verbally to people that I don't remember. This has happened a number of times and actually caused a lot of problems in my last relationship. I've woken up literally covered in food. It also worsened my depression. Not a great experience."


"Been using estradiol patches for the past 2 years since my full hysterectomy. I am 39 years old. No side effects. Can't live without them. One day with no patch and hot flashes, fatigue and moodiness is back."


"Balanced me out and cleared up my face - and of course keeps me from getting pregnant."


"I've also been trying different preventive medication for migraines with my doctor and so far Depakote is working the best. I started with 250mg a day for the first week, now at 500 mg a day. Before this medication, I would wake up daily with chronic head pain in the neck or behind the eyes. Now I wake up almost every morning with a clear head. I haven't seen any side effects yet at this dosage and I've even lost weight since I've been proactive with daily exercise. I started walking 2 miles daily since taking this medication. With proactive exercise and eating habits, I think anyone can keep potential side effects at bay. Previously, I was on Topamax and had to stop taking it as the nausea/head fuzz was too severe for my line of work."


"I've had kyleena inserted for only two months and I've experienced a lot of the bad side effects, including fatigue (feeling sleepy constantly and lack energy), weight gain, cravings, anxiety and depression. Before kyleena I was very healthy and mostly emotionally grounded. I am in my early 30s and I have previously used pills before but did not work well for me due to the level of hormones. When I went in for a consultation, I was told that the level of hormone in Kyleena is significantly less. I have been getting acnes as well as depressive thoughts. Not recommended"


"It's my first time taking birth control decided to go with the shot I did a lil research and wished I saw this sooner..about 95% of the women who tried this shot had terrible experiences ..I've started depo about a month ago and everything was fine..I am now in my 2nd month and received my first period I have been bleeding for almost a week my cycle is normally 6 days so I figured it is normal but after reading these reviews im a lil scared and have decided to discontinue the shot hopefully I do not have the horrible experience that most of these women had "


"First of all, I was prescribed to Cymbalta/Buspar at the same time to treat my depression/anxiety, respectively, and I can say that I experienced absolutely no side effects from the Cymbalta and I seem to "care" slightly more about other people not just myself. I've been taking Cymbalta for 4 weeks now and am unsure if I've experienced the full effect of what it should be doing for me"


"I am taking Gabapentin for nerve pain from an accident many years ago. I had been suffering with it for a long time. This drug has decreased the pain 10 fold and has given me back part of myself."


"Just over a week and down about 4lbs.   Feel pretty good.  Lots more energy.  A big plus is that I don't have big cravings for junk.  I am able to feel full after a smaller meal.   That said, it is hard to get to sleep and a weird side effect is that I am always cold.  When I sit down in the evening, I'm absolutely freezing!!!   2 pairs of sox, 2 blankets, fleece coat ( sometimes mittens)

For a woman that used to be overheated all the time, this is a change.

I plan on continuing this for a while under my doctor's supervision as it helps give me that edge I need."


"Seroquel did not work for me; I went up to 400 mg and felt like a zombie. Now, I've taken Seroquel XR 300 for 1 1/2 years. I've seen my anxiety level go to 'normal'. But, it is necessary for me to plan the time I take the medication to avoid slurred speech in the morning; it needs to be in my system at least 11 hours it seems.  Constipation is severe enough to take laxatives everyday.  My husband has to keep reminding me the positives outweigh the side effects by far.  Then I stop and think and know that is true."


"I had this for  Broken Back, Shoulder Surgery (rotator cuff). I literally taste the medication when I apply it to my skin on my shoulder / arm area.  Had a bit of gastric upset for about a half hour after using.  Seemed to help relieve some of my pain though.  Just wondering if you've had people report the taste on application."


"First time ever having gout, 47-year-old male in decent shape, don't eat a lot of red meat and barely touch alcohol. Spent three weeks in increasingly excruciating pain. Made the mistake of having a glass of wine one night, which sent me into two 30-45 min pain cycles that my wife said looked like labor -- biting on towels, praying, asking her to tell me stories, anything to get my mind off the pain. Had been on Colchicine, which did nothing except give me stomach cramps and diarrhea. Couldn't take ibuprofen for fear of shredding my stomach even worse. Finally went to a different doc, who prescribed Indomethacin. Miracle drug. Started working within hours. Three days later, can wear shoes & walk almost without limping. Amazing!"


"Started Harvoni 1/1/15 finished 3/24/15, no side effects!  What a great product!  Thank you FDA for approval"


"This drug is not listed for the cancer symptom of not eating and should be. It saved my family members life."


"I am on Lyrica 150 mg a day, but it started to lose it's effectiveness after about 5 months. I can't afford to see the doctor or get more Lyrica. I tried Cymbalta for my PMDD and hoped that it might help my pain too.  My pain was almost completely gone after about 2 days of use!  However, I started getting sores on my tongue, emotional numbness, and had zero libido. I stopped using it after about 7 days, and the pain came back worse than ever (I believe I had been overdoing it those few days).  I seriously considered putting up with the side effects just to get some pain relief, but I'm trying bupropion XL first."


"I feel worlds different - I don't need caffeine to get through the day, and low blood sugar doesn't bother me any more.  Yes, I'm even losing some fat, but I think that's because I can go longer between meals and it takes less food to feel full.

The only odd thing is that my lips are unusually dry."


"Hi
I used the HEB brand Miconazole 1  egg, with itch cream and wipes less than  15 minutes of insertion and me laying down to go to sleep my lady parts were on fire. I removed the remains of the egg and washed as much as the medication away. I have used a similar product in the past and not had this happen... "


"Obviously , the condom broke and it was 11 pm we were scared because I'm 18 and my boyfriend is 19. We were scared more than anything. But no matter what stay clam because freaking out does not help at all. We took the pill at 10 am the following morning . My period was estimated two weeks after taking the pill . My period was 3 days late but within the two weeks I did feel like throwing up like constantly. At the end the pill works it does . Not pregant and helped"


"Was given this for pain, had bad shaking, very anxious and irratable. Also dizzy and nauseated."


"If not for this medicine, I would have failed college due to the bipolar disorder. Although I got some side effects at first, and whenever my dose is upped, they last for a day or 2. My moods are way more even, and combined with Klonopin I can finally sleep!"


"6 hours in and feel completely normal. Painful, yet tolerable, insert. Less than 1 minute of 5 pain on a scale of 1-10. Next hour, pain scale 2 -like a cramp, but enough to drive home and go to the market. Eat before, will help with being light headed. Take 800mg ibuprofen an hour before and every four hours for the next 48 hours. The hour after insertion was uncomfortable, but I was functioning. Been perfect ever since. Each woman is different- so do give it a try if you're interested. Not a walk in the park, but I hope the slight pain is worth it! And if it isn't, it was so short, I won't regret giving it a chance."


"I thought that lo lo would be a good choice of birth-control for me but I regret taking it.
I had really bad migraines, nausea, leg cramps! stomach pains, painful acne and  even though my boobs got bigger, they were  sore for 2 weeks almost 3! Last issue I had with this BC was sex drive.. I think that some people would consider this a good thing but  not for me - it increased my sex drive  and for me I don't need it right now so it was not a  bonus lol. Period  cramping also  got worse for me "


"After reading all the horror stories I wanted to cancel procedure so thought I'd share my experience. Honestly NOT THAT BAD! Took as directed, added nothing for flavor. Tasted very salty, just a swig of Apple juice after each 8oz dose, every 15 mins. Had no side effects. No bloating. No gas pains. No discomfort. Had only broth on prep day. Had only a chicken omelet afternoon prior to prep. No cramping with bowel movements. Procedure was a breeze, without the "wind". Hope this helps ease someone's anxiety."


"Many horrible side effects made taking it impossible."


"When I started otezla, I was having moderate arthritis affects. Right away I had head and neck pain. Throughout the 4 months I was on it, I lost 10 lbs, no appetite, nausea, bad flu flares, sometimes rapid heartbeat and no discernable relief. At 4 month mark I experienced a massive spasming of my scalp and neck muscles. As in tetany. You need your neck to sit up, lay down, walk, drive..I couldn't do anything. I like to think my pain threshold is high, but this brought me to my knees. I've been on more Prednisone with otezla then ever before..just to counteract all the flares, tendon pain. I'm off otezla now for 4 days, and still cannot move my neck properly. I hope with time it goes away. No benefits, lots of aggravation. Not a good med for"


"I'm 18 and I started the depo shot on March 1, 2016. The shot was wonderful all the way up to May. What they say is true. The first two months were great, but now I've been heavily bleeding for 2 1/2 weeks. Because I suffer from migraines, I can't take "normal" birth control. The progestin ones only. So I was only offered 3 options: the depo shot, pills that caused me to have 3 periods in one month, or a foreign object in my arm. I'm totally done with birth control which  sucks. I want to have a baby sometime in my life, so I don't want the decisions I make now to affect my fertility in the upcoming years.

I would NOT recommend the depo shot. The negatives HEAVILY outweigh the goods."


"It didn't work, I was up to 40mg daily and felt literally nothing. Ever since I had my son I have had panic attacks and bad anxiety so I went to the doctor and was prescribed Prozac. I was so disappointed. I almost feel more depressed now."


"Picked up lice staying at a friends house in North Carolina. She didn't tell me her daughter was having trouble with lice every 4 months before I visited or else I would have stayed at a hotel. Anyway, I have tried just about every over the counter product and nothing worked. Read all the directions & followed the directions exactly. Then I tried home remedies. Nothing worked. I bought Sklice at $150.
with insurance. It doesn't work. I applied it to dry hair, used the entire tube, worked it in, all hair covered, left it on 10 min. as directed, washed it out and combed out the bugs and nits. The next day, I still have live lice. It's now 2 days later and basically it didn't work. It did kill some but not all.
Now what? Such a nightmare."


"I was prescribed 1 week ago and seen an immediate improvement although I started feeling more anxious all day so I am now on Xanax instead of Klonopin, which I was originally on. I started with 500mg for 3 days then 1000 and now 1500 but I feel much more stable but I definitely feel hungry all the time. I was on Lamictal previously and I believe that made my disorder worse. I feel great now."


"I am losing quite a bit of weight 65 pounds, but I do not want to lose my hair in the process of it. It is really falling out and I don't know what to do. I went to a dermatologist and after a few treatments and a biopsy she told me there was nothing she could do."


"I am 37 year old female who has been suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome-C for almost a year now. I went from having a bowel movement every 5 to 7 days to having one daily on this medication. I've been taking it for a month now and it started working right away. I do not have to run to the bathroom like some users have mentioned. You take it in the morning and about 30 to 60 minutes later it creates a movement. It has been so wonderful to feel "normal" again. However, the two draw backs I have noticed are, one, it doesn't really help with bloating (which is probably my main complaint), and the cost is an issue. I have three months of free samples then the cost is right around $200 a month."


"I have been taking this for around three years now and I found that for the first year I was headache free. On my second year I was occasionally getting heads like 2 or 3 a month. Then after my third year of being on the medicine it seemed as though I was taking nothing to help with migranes. I have now been getting up 10 migranes at different times per day. I went to see my neurologist and he said I'm having uncontrolled migranes and he put me on Topamax so I guess I will see how that goes."


"Recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and started out with metformin. Metformin did nothing to control my blood sugar. Was put on Victoza and within 3 days blood sugars were normal but have terrible indigestion with horrible rotten egg smell. Got to talk to my doc about that. But I have lost 30 pounds in 2 months while on Victoza. No nausea. But I don't have an appetite which has caused me to eat way less food. Im taking the 1.6 mg dose. Overall satisfied with the medicine but I have read reports of a lot of people getting cancer in their pancreas and thyroids."


"As well as having Borderline Personality Disorder, I have had severe post-partum depression. I have found Zoloft to be very helpful regulating my moods, and keeping the demons at bay. Happy Trails."


"I was having stress issues dealing with family and work issues. I was prescribed Celexa 20mg and about an hour after the 3rd dose I began to have severe anxiety attacks. My heart was pounding and I had to run outside, feeling claustrophobic and severely depressed. I was told to stop the drug immediately but it still took 72 hours for the side effects to go away. I had anxiety attacks several times a day, loss of appetite and depression during that time. I realize this was a rare reaction, but my message is to be prepared when you take something like this."


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


"On my third day with Levaquin. Only problem that I am having is insomnia.  Tired during the day, completely awake at night. Cough is pretty much gone.  I feel great, just need to go to bed."


"Wow been taking Monistat off and on for years with no side effects.  This time taking Monistat 1 was a nightmare.  Like the other posters on this site, I had insane burning and pain; never anything like that before.  I was up for hours before I followed the advice of a poster here and took a pain relief medicine and benedryl, and left a ice pack on the area for quite awhile.  Next day, it's still burning but the drugs are still in my system so it's manageable,  they CLEARLY changed the formula and omitted to tell us.  This should be removed from the market!"


"I started using Levora after stopping Yasmin. I'm starting my third Levora pack next week and so far my experience with Levora has been great! No headaches, no nausea, no feeling physically weak or overly emotional. My libido is really high and my breasts have gotten a little bigger. I did, however, have the food cravings as mentioned in other comments and it did make me gain a little weight but I notice that when I'm taking the reminder pills I'm a lot slimmer than when I'm taking the active pills. I also have increased acne by very, very little, nothing that makes me complain or feel annoyed. I recommend Levora for anyone debating on it. It worked well for me!"


"I can't wait until tomorrow. I took my last Avelox today and unfortunately it took me this long to figure out it was making me feel so sick. Nervous, shaky, nauseous and my whole body is fatigued. I can't concentrate on my work and feel dizzy. "


"Whether or not PMDD is "real," I have noticed that I went from experiencing these symptoms at FULL FORCE...to almost none at all. After 4 months of Yaz, I went from raging menstrual psycho to slightly irritable girlfriend. For this reason alone, I will recommend Yaz to anyone who feels they are affected by PMDD.

"I am 21 years old and my son is now five months old. I started taking Jolivette at the beginning of February. I have experienced abnormal, heavy bleeding that seems like it never ends, feels like I've bled more than I haven't bled. The bleeding will stop for two to three days then return and last for about two weeks. I have also been feeling more angry and stressed than ever since I started taking this birth control. I am switching to a different birth control as soon as possible because Jolivette is making life miserable, and the way I am running through boxes of tampons and pads is ridiculous and draining the wallet."


"After 3 days of 5 mg, I'd had enough of this RX. Being knocked out during the day for 1-4 hours, but only sleeping in 2 hour increments at night, with violent/disturbing dreams, even waking with auditory hallucinations. The nausea wasn't extreme, but the overabundance of gas build up was too much for me. My depression only worsened because of the sleep deprivation."


"Using Epiduo and oral antibiotics for 3 weeks now. No change on my acne. Made my skin burn first few days but not now.. Have to use moisturizer now and my neck is also dry. I have large spots as well as loads of tiny white ones.. Mainly on my cheeks going towards my chin and on my neck. I will stick to it for 12weeks now. I hope it works. I am 26 and have had severe acne for about 6 yrs now."
