"Again, this is not for everyone. I had it in for about 11 months. For the first 5 months, I bled constantly, after that it was spotting. However, annoying nonetheless. Insertion was a little painful, but tolerate. The last 4-5 months, that's when everything started to get worse. It was constant spotting, my acne got worse, gained like 15 pounds, headaches, and fatigue. I am 20, with no kids. I switched to the pill, but I just read reviews on it and it has really bad reviews but I'm trying it out."


"Paxil works great for me but it took 3 months for it to work. That's not surprising however my body has always taken a long time to get used to/accept drugs. My start up side effects were extreme fatigue, excessive yawning, derealization, depersonalization, depression and apathy(apathy and depression could've been a result for the anxiety and not the paxil) . One day while at work it just hit me and I started feeling better happier but not 100%. I'm currently at 30mg which seems to work fine. The only bad thing about being on Paxil for me is the sexual side effects(it is really hard to climax! uhg) Otherwise, I feel fine. In fact, I even have vivid dreams, which for me is nice, and more energy."


"Hello everyone

I have been using CONTRAVE since September 30th 2016 and as of today October 11th  i have lost 10lbs.I have not had any side effects. I have never been so happy taking a pill.. I recommend  you trying it if nothing else has worked for you.  I think everyone that experiencing the Nausea did not quit drinking with this pill. Make sure your Dr tells you exactly how this drug was discovered to help many people loose weight.  I did also cut my calorie intake down as well. Be sure and sign up on the CONTRAVE website so you can get your discounts and support. I am also involved in a group called Scale Down. They sent me a scale and I weigh everyday which by the way makes you accountable  for what you eat."


"After the death of my father I was thrown into an extremely depressive state and it only got worse as time went on. I was unable to get out of bed in the morning, go to school and could not carry out my normal life due to the constant feelings of hopelessness, sadness, etc. I had lost interest in everything and everyone and also began self harming. Ive been on Lexapro (20 mg) for about four months and it has helped me a large amount with my depression but it makes me feel like a bit of a zombie. The side effects were not the best but it has given me the energy and hope to get out of bed in the morning. Lexapro helped me a immense amount and I would recommend that you try it."


"I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid along with Asthma. A previous drug was being used however had to be stopped because of the review and side effects of being suicidal and doing things without worrying about the risk. Hard to explain... Anyways, ever since I started this drug, it has gone on a downhill. I have been using the drug for a very long time now, and to be honest , besides the tingling feeling I get sometimes using or taking a break from this drug, it doesn't help me at all. My parents think, thats it me that has to control ADHD but I cant, and this medicine isn't helping at all. I tried taking more dosage by myself and it still didn't work. Don't recommend at all. Btw I am 18 years old soon 19."


"I only gave Viibryd a 5 out of 10 due to one thing: diarrhea.  If it wasn't for that I would still be taking it. It was a hit and miss thing for me. I would go over a week and be fine and then week after week I would have diarrhea at around 2-3 times a week.  Tried it with food and after food and didn't seem to help. Don't get me wrong, I can deal with a little diarrhea but this was insane diarrhea with bad stomach cramps.  Took it around 6 months and weened myself off it. Would not recommend quitting cold turkey. Even weening myself off at 20mg's made me real irritable for about 2 weeks. "


"I had my Liletta put in on May 3rd this year. Keep in mind I've never had children or been pregnant. During insertion I felt the most intense pain I had ever experienced before. I was one of the few that went into "shock" after having it put in. My cramps lasted the entire time I had it in and I had painful intercourse as well. I recently took it out myself and already feel a ton better. When I pulled the IUD out I noticed it was crooked instead of in a T shape. I am one of the few to have a bad experience but please talk to your doctor about it if you have any issues!"


"I don't know if I got a potent batch, but omg!!!!
I lost 4 pounds in 1 week.
I started out at 125 lbs in 2009 and I began taking creatine to gain weight (so not a good idea, if your not working out) I then blew up an landed at 160 lbs. I did everything I could to lose weight (supplement wise). About 2 years ago I started to hit the gym like really hard, and I changed my diet (no sodas, no processed foods, I drink 1 gallon of water everyday). I mean I changed my lifestyle. Now I weight in at 130 lbs!!!

I'm so proud of myself (pats herself on the back), but honestly the beginning of week 10/26/15 I weighed in at 134 lbs and now I am at 130 lbs. 4 pounds in 4 days???!!!

Thank for the BOOST FASTIN!!!"


"I used tramadol to ease the pain from my bladder infection. I took it with ibuprofen and it helped significantly. The main side effect of this medication was how tired it made me. I could not keep my eyes open for more than an hour for the two days I took this. One time, I took a 7 hour nap from this pill. I do not recommend using this if you have to drive. It's very dangerous."


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"I took Pylera in 2012. About 5 or 6 days into the meds I had stomach pains so severe I was taken to the ER by family. The pain was in stomach and side - hip area. I was in ER for hours and was given an initial pain killer which was ineffective. The Dr. finally told me - we're going to give you one that is Lindsey Lohan's favorite....that did the trick and I finally felt relief.  I have to say the pain I was in was worst that that of child labor as I've experienced both. They told me to stop taking the meds as there could be a connection. I stopped taking and sure enough never had that kind of severe pain again. Since the event 3yrs ago,  I have permanent numbness in my hip. Nerve damage is listed as a common side effect."


"Great for back pain, muscle aches and menstrual cramps!"


"I started on this pill two years ago. I have gained 15 lbs and get severe migraines during my period. My periods are still horrible. But I'm not pregnant!"


"DO NOT TAKE THIS. I BROKE OUT 3 months straight and threw up on my period. I was in terrible pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never had bad cramps in my life until taking this!!!!! LOST ALL MY CONFIDENCE BECAUSE OF THE ACNE IT GAVE ME. IM CURRENTLY SHAKING AND CRYING IN PAIN ON THE DAY OF MY BIRTHDAY BECAUSE IM ON MY PERIOD. IM DONE TAKING THIS. I GAVE IT THREE MONTHS LIKE DOCTOR SAID AND ITS RUBBISH!!!! I don't know what to do know. Thinking about getting help for depression  and anxiety. Birth control is absolute rubbish!"


"I have had this prescribed for both of my.kids when they were in diapers. They would get a yeast infection on the surface of their skin, and this medicine eradicated it almost immediately. Their itching stopped with the first application, and after a few days the infection was gone. I have recently used it for a yeast infection on the surface of the skin as well. The itching stopped immediately and after four applications the infection is almost gone. Would definitely recommend it."


"I've only had the implant for a little over a month.. I got it June the 6th.. Since then I've bleed for 24 days on end.. Light spotting which I hate.. Also my skin has begin to break out as well.. Not really big bumps but little annoying ones.. That keep popping up each day.. Makes me wanna go see my dermatologist again. I've also had mood swings as well.. Which I already suffered from.. I think it's getting worse too.. No weight gain. I work out pretty regularly. Imma try it for just one more month and if these side effects don't stop or at least get better I will have it removed. The only real plus is that I haven't got pregnant and I have sex pretty often.. So I guess it's serving its only real purpose."


"I have only been in this birth control for almost a month. Immediately after the first few pills my breasts began to get very tender and they have definitely grown a bit. I'm having terrible stomach pains, bloating, nausea, I'm constantly sad. My acne got worse, but I haven't gained any weight. I've been spotting for about 2 days now, but I'm not supposed to starty period until next Friday. Hopefully all is well, and it's just my body getting used to the hormones. However, if these symptoms do not clear up within the next month, I'm going to try to switch or just stay off of the pill. I'm going insane due to the fact that I feel like I'm pregnant, but I'm hoping it's just the birth control side effects."


"Miracle medicine - where was it 8 years ago?"


"I have been put on many different anxiety medicines for the past 20 years now, many with bad side affects, then Dr. tried me on mirtazapine 3 years ago. I love this medicine. It is the only one that works for me with no side effects. I only weigh 100 lbs and take 45 mg a night with no side effects at all from the start of taking it 3 years ago. I sleep like a baby and wake up full of energy."


"Self educate, self education, self educate. Learn eveything you can before starting suboxone, and make sure it's right for your situation. For people with large dose dependence it is a great tool, for people with small dose under 60-80mg oxycodone I do not recommend it, thats like killing an ant with a sledge hammer. It takes my cravings and withdrawal symptoms completely away, my use was about 150mg ocycodone a day. Yes it does have a pretty nasty withdrawal itself when stopped. It's less intense but last far longer then oxy withdrawals. Low and slow is the name of the game. Take your time on reducing dosage and go as low as possible. I was down to .0325 of a milligram when I jumped. I had low energy for about 8 weeks after stopping."


"Hi everyone, just wanted to share my 8 months experience with Nuvaring..

First I was really happy , it helps with my heavy and painful periods for sure!

Unfortunately my libido went to zero and even if I took the ring out intercourse was really painful...like sharp razor blades.

Also suffered from horrible migraines almost everyday... be careful when you use 1 combines hormones..

My neurologist who I saw for my chronics migraines suggest me to take off the ring and see if my migraine will get better.

After one week I notice a dramatic change!!

No more migraines that was ruin my life, and great no painful intercourse..got my libido back lol!

So in general I was not satisfied with nuvaring, had more bad side effects than positive..."


"Partial seizures,  simple and complex,  addition of vimpat combined with lamictal  eliminated all episodes.  But,  vimpat is making me crazy.  Sad.  Emotional wreck,  easily  agitated, but hey  . No  seizures."


"This drug made me extremely tired and then the heartburn started after three weeks and I could not take any longer.  Zero pounds lost in three weeks."


"I was on Phentermine for about a week and I was losing weight but the side effects were insane. Throughout those 7 days I had severe throbbing pain on the left side of my head. The pain would start from the top and run down. What made me stop taking this pill was when the left side of my face started to get a little numb. That scared me and I immediately stopt taking Phentermine. The next day the severe throbbing pain was gone. Now it's been about 2 months since I've stopped taking Phentermine and the headaches have begun. So yesterday I went to my doctor and I explained to her that the only time I've had throbbing pain was when I took these pills. She then told me that I was experiencing migraines. I've had headaches before but pain like"


"I had the Implanon implant for 3 years and loved it! Then I had that replaced with the Nexplanon which is the same exact implant just more visible in xrays and stuff, and I used it for a little over a year. I had high hopes for this implant but the only good thing that came from it was not getting pregnant, possibly because I barley wanted to have sex because I was on my period ALL THE TIME! I went to the doctor and she prescribed me a med to help regulate my periods and it still didn't help. Just beware if you get this kind you may have your period all the time or it may go away completely if your lucky to be one of those people, I was not."


"My daughter is 5 and they recently put her on this medication an she is doing a lot better since taking it. The only down side I have seen is as the day goes on she gets really whinny/moody, but she can focus at school a lot better and is a lot happier an nicer."


"I have been on Saphris for 6 months now. It tastes horrible, but it works to control my moods better than any other medicine I've tried.  I have vivid dreams on Saphris and sometimes stiff muscles. I use Flexeril for that side effect. I have been improving greatly on this medicine. It also works quickly, I feel the effects soon after taking it. My dose is 10mg twice a day."


"I started Sprintec at 15 to regulate my periods and as a birth control and have been on it for the past 4 years. During the first month I experienced mood swings and irritability, but by the 3rd month I was fine. It's eased my period symptoms (terrible cramping and fatigue) and proven highly effective as a birth control. I've recently experienced breakthrough bleeding from taking it inconsistently and am going to take a break from it. I definitely recommend this pill."


"I had Hep C for over 35 years.  I took Harvoni for 12 weeks.  12 weeks after completing Harvoni I had a blood test and I was Hep C free. I am cured. I was genyo type 1a. ?This is our miracle drug.  I had 3 prior treatments that made me feel terrible. A total of almost 3 yrs on treatment. Nothing worked.  Harvoni is your cure."


"Yaz is the only birth control that has ever worked for me, I am 25 and have been on it since I was 16. Throughout that time i have tried multiple other options including the generic. All failed miserably. Yaz is not covered by my insurance and i still pay the full cost every month because it works so well for me."


"I am 26 and have been on this birth control for 4 months. One of the main reasons I am on birth control is for acne this pill has cleared up my face. My periods are lighter and over all my mood is stable, a little more needy and cry a little more (con). And I have noticed I am darker skin tone since I've been on this pill (tan with out tanning, this is a plus and this is a listed side effect) no weight gain. The Cons- my hair on my head has thinned out alot and I have noticed more facial hair(some neck hairs and a noticeable mustache that weren't there b4 this pill), I even bought nioxin for my hair. My sex drive isn't horrible but it has decreased for sure. Switching pills."


"After taking this pill in one day I have all the sudden developed a very upset stomach and my heart rate went from 60 to 106 bpm. And I'm having severe anxiety but I feel very weak. "


"Stay away from this garbage. I was stupid enough to try it for 3 days 10mg before bedtime. All those days I was like zombie. Dry mouth. Crazy dreams. Constant nausea. Stomach stabbing pain. No energy at all. Sleepy during day n crazy at night. I don't know who's writing positive reviews maybe pharma ppl lol. Do your research. Stay away from this drug!"


"I was very excited to finally be worry free and have my periods go away. I got Mirena inserted about 2 1/2 months ago and I've only had one week within all this time that I wasn't bleeding. I've always had a heavy flow along with horrible cramps so the only difference now is a little bit lighter and constant spotting every single day. I can't go in the pool, I can't have sex, I've stained pants, I've had a very horrible experience truthfully. My boyfriend was complaining whenever we did have sex that he felt like something was pinching his penis. the process to have it inserted is very uncomfortable and a little internal pain. I'm planning on having it removed as soon as possible because I haven't had one benefit from mirena."


"I drank 12 oz. of a popular senna tea on two consecutive days, while drinking only clear liquids. This was preceded by two days of "full liquids".  It caused diarrhea that cleaned me out, but now my tongue has big raw red patches on it.  Two days later and my tongue is beginning to heal.  Any ideas?"


"I suffer from depression, anxiety and a bit of obsessive compulsive disorder. I just started taking this medication and in less than two weeks I feel a huge difference. Before the medication it seems I was crying about any and everything and at times for no reasons. Then the simplest things would irritate the heck out of me. Things as simple as popping gum. Now on the medication, I finally feel at ease and more calm. I even feel very upbeat and happy. Its a wonderful thing for me to even be able to say I even feel this way. I will come back after a while longer on the meds and give another update."


"I'd been treated for fibromyalgia for close to a decade before being prescribed Savella. I wanted to try Lyrica but my Dr said it wasn't a good option for me, not wanting to risk my liver & other side effects of swelling. Savella worked very well for muscle pain. I actually went from Cymbalta to Savella with less side effects. However, after 2 years I could no longer stand the side effect of severe sweating. "


"I had tried taking this last year and had got to the point where I wasn't smoking anymore. I had quit for about 2-3 wks and decided I would be fine without chantix..needless to say I ended up smoking again. I am now back on chantix and have been smoke free for 4 days now. I don't really feel the need to smoke. I can smell it on people now and it makes me sick to my stomach. The only side effects I have really had is nausea and weird dreams. The dreams are just really vivid not scary and the nausea is definitely worse when I don't eat enough or drink enough water before taking the pill. However side effects definitely worth it. In just 4 days I can feel a huge difference"


"Botox for migraines is a miracle worker. I've been suffereing from extreme migraines since I was 10 (I am now 31). I have tried different Triptans (Maxalt, Zomig, Axert) and different preventative medications (anti-depressants, blood pressure) and none of them worked. My neurologist suggested I try Botox. It's been a month now and I have only expreienced 2 migraines. Both migraines were within the first week of receiving the shots (this is normal because it takes 10 days to work). I used to get around 20 migraines a month. Botox really is a miracle worker and I strongly recommend trying it if you suffer from sever migraines. It really works. I am a happier person since getting the Botox shots."


"I was diagnosed with OCD a little more than 2 months ago. My doctor started me on 50 mg of Fluvoxamine for the first month. I had no noticeable benefits from the medication and four side effects. The side effects included the following: weight gain, fatigue / disrupted sleep pattern, headaches,  and sexual dis-function. The second month my doctor increased the dosage to 100 mg. The results were the same as the first month. He has since switched me to another SSRI."


"I have been on Cosentyx for 1 year.  I view it as a miracle drug.  Best yet.   Most everything cleared up.   I know have some coming back on my lower legs which is depressing because I would like to be in shorts all the time.     I recently just had an infection in my leg that may have been related.   I met with my doctor and I have decided to try Taltz for total clearance.    Taltz reviews are an 8 while reviews here are a 9.2.   I hope I made the right choice."


"I have suffered with an acute gout attack for the first time and my doctor gave me Colcrys. I am nearly pain free in less than 24 hours. I wish I hadn't waited so long to go to the doctor."


"I am 54 and have used Angeliq for several years with good results, although for me it was more effective for hot flashes in combination with Lexapro.  I am happy to see they approved Angeliq in a lower dose and will be moving to the lower dose formulation.  It is expensive, however, and I am annoyed that it is not available in 'refills' for the leather packet it comes in -- it is such a waste of packaging to receive a new leather packet in each refill and I am sure that inflates the cost."


"Back when Stelara was first approved for psoriasis, my dermatologist went ahead and put me on it.  I cleared in one shot, took the next 2, and we laid off.  Minor side effects - some swollen tonsils and sinus issues. Fast forward a year and half - went back on it - after my second shot, I spent the next 6 months going through a continual round of sinus infections that required injected antibiotics, and got confirmed influenza A despite being vaccinated.  Tests showed likely my immune system couldn't handle.  "


"Had to have a Basel cell carcinoma removed from my neck. Followed Drs. orders.  Lather with Vaseline and bandage etc. In three days the excision area along the stitches began  to throb, turn red and feel warm.  I had no fever, no  oozing, no pain but soreness. Day 4  the area began to swell. Call doc and put me on antibiotic and said he could not take out stitches until the infection clears.  Took a swab of area and said it was high growth MRSA  keep taking antibiotic as prescribed.  I decided to put tea tree oil on the excision and then bandage. So Glad I did, within 5 hrs the redness was light pink and started to form a scab. Day 7 on med all healing nicely not spreading and I continue with tea tree oil to hurry the healing."


"Epidrin works great for my migraines! I do feel side effects of slight drowsiness/drugged feelings but these are much more tolerable then having migraine symptoms!"


"I had Kyleena inserted on July 25ish. Insertion was uncomfortable but bearable and it was all over in 2 minutes, truly the build up of insertion is worse than actual insertion. The first month was not bad, mild cramps and a little bit of bleeding. However once the second month hit was the Kyleena experience went downhill for me. I get severe stab-like cramps nearly daily. Bleeding increased into the second significantly. I went to my 6 week follow up and my doctor convinced me to keep it in. Following my appointment the bleeding has gotten a little better but the cramps continue, I have gained 9 lbs and have significantly more acne on my face and chest. I have scheduled my appointment to get it removed."


"Awful awful drug! I was put on this when I was 18 and was up to 150 mg for 7-8 months. If you literally took this med 5 min later than your scheduled time you would get withdrawal symptoms. The worst are what they call brain zaps which feels like your brain is getting electrocuted and the shocks travel all through your body to the tips of your toes and finger. I weened off and had these symptom for 4 months before they dissipated !!  Also was on constant panic while weening off for weeks thinking I was dying. Never again"


"I have been on Belviq for 3 days now and I was worried that I might not see any weight loss.  I have joined the gym at work and I work out 3/4 days a week.  After reading some of the positive responds, I am very hopeful that I will lose weight.  I hope that I have a successful story as above, and not a story that I can not lose anything!.  Just for the record I feel great taken 2 pills a day and I have not had any headache's at all, (I hope that it stays this way)."


"I've had an excellent experience on this medication. I have ben on the medication and it is now close to the time where I need to wean off.  I have had side effects from this medication, though they were short lived and tolerable. During the 1st 6 weeks (+/- a week), I experienced nausea, head aches, borborygmus (or a loud active sounding intestinal tract). I did not have any vomiting or diarrhea ever. I did occasionally experience constipation which was alleviated by taking Colace (1-2 pills 1-2 times daily as needed).  I began this journey almost a year ago to the date. I started out at 166 lbs (5'4) and moderately overweight. I am now healthier and happier. I currently weight 138 lbs and have a target weight of 135 lbs.  Very successful."


"I had surgery for scoliosis with spinal fusion 27 years ago.  Since then, my neck and lower back (without fusion) have been collapsing, curving, and I have been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease.  The pain began to extend to my hips and shoulders and it became impossible to function.  I had difficulty getting up and moving around, and more and more difficulty doing basic daily chores.  (I am a 51 y/o woman with 5 children - no wonder, right? ha ha).  Anyway, my doctor prescribed Ultram ER 100mg for me about 5 years ago and it has given me relief for the most part - until the last year.  I think I need to increase the dosage as I know my back is worse and the pain is getting worse, however, Ultram has been a life saver."


"STAY AWAY FROM THIS PILL. I was on orthotricylcin lo. I liked it a lot because I had zero acne. The only problem was that my periods lasted over a week & could be painful. I changed gynocologist when I moved to college. She put me on Lo Loestrin Fe & it was the worst year of my entire life. My face look worse than it did in 7th grade. I have ZERO sex drive. I already have anxiety & this pill made it a million times worse & I about drove everyone as well as myself crazy with my mood swings & attitude. Wanna know the worst part? I had two periods a month. One on the week my actual period was supposed to start & one on be second week in the pack. I put up with that for an entire year thinking it would "regulate." It didn't. BEWARE"


"I have ben feeling better since my hospital stay and starting warfarin."


"I had a sinus infection with fever (spiking higher at night); took me a while to figure out because I never had one before. Within a day of taking Ceftin, I no longer had a fever and felt much better. Had no problem taking the pill with water (unlike others); don't taste it at all. After 5 days, I still have thick mucus and less appetite than usual) but otherwise am doing much better than before. I notice no side effects from this medicine."


"I have battled allergies and sinusitis my whole life.  I was prescribed this by a ENT and it's truly a blessing.  No side effects only relief.  I have tried every medication on the market and have had sinus surgery.  This stuff is the best I've ever used.  I just hope my sinuses don't build up a tolerance to it."


"This medicine worked perfectly for me. Itching started late one night so I bought Monistat 1 first thing in the morning. Not even 24 hours later, I was relieved. I had no crazy burning experience or anything...but then again you may have different results if you wait too long to get the medicine."


"Took 80mg of geodon for 10 months. Severe weight loss, extreme loss appetite, moderate anxiety, talked out loud to myself alot, talking rapidly while not making sense, extreme happiness for no reason, jerked awake every night with no sleep for at least 24 hours, severe restlessness. Extreme energy.  Severe weight loss almost died. Don't recommend."


"I started Chantix in early March and was amazed at how well it worked. Within 2 weeks I stopped smoking with practically no urge to smoke while on the drug. I had only minor side effects such as nausea in the morning, a couple of times, when I started taking two 1mg pills a day. What I thought was even more amazing was that around week three I noticed I had stopped eating junk food and just felt like eating healthier. Soon after that I stopped smoking cannabis. I would often smoke a "J" in the evening while reading but the urge was just gone.  At this point I did start to experience some crazy dreams, but except for a few instances, I mostly enjoyed them. Felt the Best I had in years on Chantix. "


"Took it for 3 days. Numb skin, lips, hands and feet. I can't sense temperature.  Heart rate irregular. Seeing cardiologist tomorrow.  Severe pain in lower extremities, only when trying to sleep though! Oh and my legs feel like they weigh 200lbs each. Today is 11 days off of medicine and still no relief.  "


"I was prescribed 50mg pristiq for anxiety and panic attacks after I became tolerant to zoloft a couple months ago. Pristiq definitely eased the anxiety and I've had only a few panic attacks since I've been taking them. I've been wanting to try coming off any medication as Im only 18 and really want to be able to function without the help of an anti-depressant. Within one day of stopping I was extremely nauseous to the point of being sick, had a fuzzy and dizzy head, a migraine, faint spells, hot and cold temperature, flu symptoms and I could NOT stop crying I felt so hopeless. So basically this medicine worked for my anxiety but the withdrawal symptoms are pretty extreme. Make sure your on holidays from work or school before you stop them."


"Okay so I got this IUD a few days ago and i just wanted to share my experience. I heard pretty bad things about the insertion so I took a percocet pain killer before I went in. Like 15 mg which is a lot. (normal dosage is 5mg, I had a 30mg one and cut it in half). By the time I got to the doctor, I was definitely feeling the effects of the pain killer. When he first inserted the tampon-like tool in, I was uncomfortable but fine, but OMG when the actual IUD went in it felt like a cramp on steroids and the pain was so unbearable I fainted. I couldn't move for 20 min from the procedure chair and didn't move from my bed for the rest of the day. I cant even imagine what it would've been like without the percocet! My period ended 2 days after insert"


"I was diagnosed with endometriosis after having a laproscopy.  I started the Lupron shots not long after the surgery.  While the symptoms seemed to fade, the side effects were terrible.  I had unbearable mood swings which caused many problems in the family.  The hot flashes were ridiculous.  I also ended up gaining about 20 pounds within six months.  The pain did subside and I have not had as much pain since I finished the injections 10 months ago."


"I have just recently started using Solodyn and have severe acne. I started seeing results very quickly. I am very happy with it."


"I just started with this medication. I took one 75 mg pill in the late evening before going to sleep. When I took it I said to myself yea right this little tiny pill will somehow give my life back to me...the next morning when I awoke to my surprise, I felt like I did years ago. I could walk and stand without the aching and hurting. I was not as tired nor as sore in my muscles. What a wonderful little miracle this little pill is!!!"


"I have chronic sinus allergies and my ENT prescribed Singulair and Allegra 180 mg one tab each per day. These worked fine for me, but my Doctor then asked me to try Xyzal instead of the Allegra, I've been using this new combination for about a month or so, but for me, the Allegra may be more effective, and I don't get the "drowsies" from it as I get with Xyzal. I then did something stupid, I tried being my own doctor, and took (2) Xyzal tabs with my usual 20mg of Singulair. The result being INCREASED histamine and drowsiness... so folks, the moral here is; Don't play Doctor,... abide by your Doctor's instructions... he/she knows best."


"I have been taking this for three days now, eating lots of veggies, fruits, and lean meats. On day two I experienced an upset stomach and lots of diarrhea. However I feel fine day three. Not sure why day two was so rough?! I'm 5'3" and 148 lbs. Hoping to get to 130 lbs."


"I get migraines with aura so i cannot be on the pill. I got the paraguard (nonhormonal) june 2015. My body could not adjust. I would get my period at random times, very irregular, sometimes lasting 14 days. The periods were very heavy and clotty. I would fill a super tampon every hour. Back pain, breast pain, and shooting leg pain down to my foot. It took 7 months for my body to adhere to a regular cycle with no spotting; however, the pain and heaviness remained. I put up with it for 1 year and 3 months. With Preventing pregnancy- works like a charm, but side effects were too painful for me. Finally i had enough. I got it removed and just got the Nexplanon (progesterone only) inserted into my arm. Wish me luck"


"I'm 25 male I've been taking this med for two months now and it is getting harder and harder (or should I softer) to keep an erection. Mid sex I'll just go soft. I'm 25 and my sex drive before this was in extreme over drive. Now it's almost nothing.I  think I'd rather be depressed with working parts than happy and the sex not working"


"I've been on 18 mg concerta for 3 days. I'm a 39 year old woman with ADHD-PI with anxiety.
The 1st day I felt fluey and extremely tired, but very mellow and happy, nevertheless it didn't do a thing for focus/Attention. The 2nd day I felt inconsistent fluctuations with my mental clarity/focus. Also, there were fluctuations in Tiredness, I had to drink caffeine twice in the day on order to kind of function. Also my appetite became enormous. I still felt quite calm and centered though, which was nice for a change. 3rd day was more of the same from the 2nd day, but my appetite was less. I'm wondering if I should keep taking this."


"I have been taking antidepressants for years;  prozac, celexa,cymbalta, and now pristiq.  I have always had problems stopping taking antidepressants and needed to go back on the medication after a while.  I even stopped taking pristiq and found it necessary to go back on the drug after stopping.  This last time I started taking pristiq I felt much better after some weeks and everything was back to normal.  Then I began to notice more depression symptoms like brain fog, general lack of motivation, tiredness, major forgetfulness.  I went out of town and even forgot to take the pills with me.  This is where things took a strange turn.  I felt better the next day!  Every day that went by I felt better.  I forgot what felt like to fell this good"


"I had bv during my pregnancy and yeah the metronidazole  tasted terrible to the point I didn't wanna take it, but it cleared everything up for me fast so I'd take again. I did have some symptoms such as extreme drowsiness and I don't think the baby likes it either. I can't eat much because I feel sick. Besides the side effects and taste it works really well."


"Several years of vascular dementia and growing increasingly worse now, my 89 year old mother started aricept during the last month.  First day she was like a new person, clear thinking with memory, energy, and motivated.  Second day much less, and was dizzy and constipated by 6th day.  Now appearing more confused than without the drug.  Not a good experience, will be moving on."


"This is my second time having the infection, so as soon as it came I knew what it was.   Unfortunately, I have a $75 gynecologist co-pay, plus whatever extra bill that they end up sending afterwards.  I bought my azithromycin online--no rx-- for $16 for 6 500 mg pills. I ate first, then I took 2 500mg pills at once before bed.  The nausea came within 30 min and I spent about 3 hours fighting my body from throwing up.  I experienced hot flashes too (I didn't have that last time).  I fell asleep and in the morning the nausea was gone.  Discharge and odor are gone."


"This medicine worked really fast at lowering blood pressure until the dizziness and feeling like passing out started. I may have kidney issues but I am on hydrocodone and this has an interaction with Hyzaar. "


"I react different than others on most Meds.  I took Vraylar for 4 days it helped with my moods but the side effects out weighed the good to it. It made me sick to my stomach, couldn't drive, had to sleep throughout the whole day, hot flashes, dehydration.  It was horrible and I couldn't handle how bad it made me feel."


"I think this drug is causing ringing in my ears."


"I'm 24 yrs old. I got the Mirena after giving birth to my daughter who is now almost 3 yrs old. My husband and I used to have a great sex life but it all ended after getting this birth control. Mirena is very effective preventing pregnancies however this is the side effect that I've experienced."


"28 yrs old no kids/pregnancies and had previously only used the YAZ pill birthcontrol. I got Skyla inserted in April '15 and am due to have it removed next year. I give it a 7.5. Insertion was uncomfortable but my OB recommended I take some Ibuprofen before I came in. I was crampy the rest of that period. Every period after that for the following 6 months came with pretty sharp cramps the first few days. The periods now are definitely longer but light enough that I have mostly used light tampons since then. No weight gain, skin didn't change. Sex was fine except that I'd spot after depending how close to my period it was. I've had a few accidents and have not gotten pregnant yet so I would probably use it again if I find nothing better."


"Took 2 pills at 2:30am, by 730am I had awoke to the worst cramps of my life. I've suffered from mixed irritable bowel syndrome for virtually my while life, and while I've experienced bad cramps before, this was a whole new level. I thought my wife was going to have to take me to the hospital.

My symptoms were cold sweats, uncontrollable shaking, TERRIBLE cramps, nausea, feeling faint.. I just wanted it to stop. They persisted for a good hour, until I was able to get some relief through passing stool. It does work, but for people like myself with IBS it's not worth going through what I experienced for a decent BM. Will not use again."


"Taking 10mg for almost a month.

Feeling good. Was on Prozac 60mg after 10+ years.

I do not see much mention of sexual side effects mentioned.

But I notice what seems to be on this med.  Did not have any problem on the Prozac."


"I have had multiple sclerosis for 25 year, for the last 10 years I have had Botox injections in my bladder. I don't have anything for pain as l don't find it painful. It takes about a week to ten days for the Botox to kick in. I do have to use a catheter 4 times a day which I do sitting towards the taps on the bidet, with a magnifying mirror strategically placed on the taps!! It works perfectly for me and you can keep everything super hygienic. I always aim the catheter into a plastic measuring jug so l can measure how much l do, 400mls is about right, 200mls I'm not drinking enough. Coffee and tea do irritate the bladder and coffee especially.I hope this is helpful to some."


"These help me better then Vicodin. Have tried numerous pills - I have Lupus."


"I was prescirbed 15mg at night so scared to take this after what i had read so i started on just a quarter of a tablet and thank god i did this tiny piece of tablet nearly had me passing out what would a whole one do?"


"Although my tests came back negative for RA, my doctor did prescribe Plaquenil for the inflammation present in my system and the extreme pain and stiffness I was feeling in my hands at only 52. Right away, the nausea began along with terrible sleepiness. This only seemed to occur on my am dose though which debilitated me in the morning. I tried taking it earlier which helped. Then I did some digging and realized that the only difference was that I only take Melixicam in the morning. Reading the list here about the same interacting confirmed my suspicion. Once I stopped taking them at the same time, the nausea stopped. No more throwing up every morning! Because of side effects, I can't rate this high. But it's really helped my OA symptoms."


"I've used Concerta for 5 years and loved the improvements at first - I became successful, in perfect shape, and did most things extraordinarily well.  My life did a complete 180.  Once unfocused, unmotivated and disorganized, I transformed to near perfection in everything I did.  The price you pay for perfection - I've lost my friends and my social abilities.  I used to be fun and full of life!  You begin to seclude yourself because you are too focused, too mechanical.  You lose weight because your appetite goes away and you are indeed anorexic.  I couldn't sleep, had extreme anxiety, headaches, dry mouth, highs and lows....I can go on and on.  It changes you and you may think it's great but ultimately you lose yourself in the process."


"I have been taking Tramadol ER 100 milligrams 3 times a day for over 6 years I have found out that in the beginning it helped but now as my pain has increased and my disease become more severe it doesn't help at all I have never experienced any side effects other than constipation when I add it with the rest of my meds such as Vicodin to help with the pain. I do realize that when I am taking the Vicodin it does give me the itches other than that I can't say I've experienced any other side effects."


"It is a great medicine but the 20mg are the better than 10mg. The feeling that you can get an erection at any time is better with the 20mg."


"The last 10 years of my life have been hell to say the least. I'm a single father to a 10 year old lovely boy. Over the years however I became a complete recluse with major depression and anxiety. I started taking Paxil 25mg and it has returned me to the confident person I was before and am again able to take care of my son. Thank you for giving my life back."


"Flu hit me bad on a Monday night/Tuesday morning. Sore throat, aches, low grade fever. I wasn't getting better by Thursday so I went in that night and tested positive for influenza A. Took first dose that night with a big dinner. next morning I only had a snack (bc it says just a snack is fine) I was throwing up bad within 30 minutes. Called the pharmacy & thankfully you can take meclizine with it. Next dose Friday night I ate A LOT & took half a meclizine & I was fine. I'm on my 2nd dose Saturday night & still feel sick. I'm sad b/c I thought I'd be near the end of the flu by now. My throat isn't as bad but my body is still so weak & I have a headache. I'll still take it, bc I bet I would have gotten worse, & I'm a mom"

"I developed severe pain in my ear after flyinf home from vacation with a horrible head cold. Upon landing the pain in my ears was so bad I could just lean forward and hold my head as tears rolled down my face. (I traveled every week for 20 years, during my career, with no problem with ear pain). I thought the pain would go away with time, but after three weeks I decided to see my ENT. He prescribed Ciprodex. Within one day the pain was greatly reduced, but I faced severe swelling under my eye, swelling in my neck, cough, congestion and basically felt sick. I stuck with the drops for 4 days, but couldn't take the side effects so I stopped. I will call my ENT after the holiday."


"I am on my 3 months pack but all she sudden I won't stop spotting 12 days straight so far, my first 2 packs were just fine"


"Seemed to help at first but now it doesnt seem to work as well. I've been on it 3-4 months now. It's very expensive. I'm with United HC and its $60 a month."


"So far so good. I have one child, natural birth and he is almost two. I was so nervous to get it done but their is no way I can have another baby now. I would have to quit my job. Anyway, the insertion was not that bad at all, little bit of cramps and discomfort but that was it. I left and picked up my son and didn't really think of it again. Very very little cramping almost unnoticeable and very little bleeding, just a drop or two. "


"I've got severe arthritis in my lumbar vertebrae and right hip. (I've got a hip replacement coming up) plus degenerative disc disease in lumbar discs too. Norco 5/325 allows me to walk a little more, play with my dog and get a few chores done. Norco doesn't take all the pain away but it does helps improve the quality of my life."


"I was super excited to get this birth control because I wouldn't have to worry with taking a pill. Mirena or any IUD was NOT an option for me. Wouldn't have that if my life depended on it! Anyways, I had the Nexplanon places Aug 6, 2015. Today is Dec 31, 2015 and I'm planning on having it removed soon! First off, I have had brown discharge since the day it was placed.. and have only have maybe one period. There literally hasn't been a day that I haven't had to wear either a panty liner or a pad due to the discharge. Second, I have had headaches at least 4 days a week since I had my BC placed. Third, my mood swings are crazy!! However I have always been the type to get aggravated easily, I've never been this hateful! Over it!!!!!!!!"


"I have been a mental health counselor for 37 years and have worked with ADHD for 25 Of all the medications Vyvanse is the best. It is important to start low 20 mg and then increase based on focus concentration and mid afternoon agitation. Expect very few side effects. Slight appetite loss but manageable. Very important to take it at 7am everyday. May want to hold off on weekends unless there is need to focus for study. Consider counseling to help stay on track and educate client and family regarding the fact that ADHD is a gift of creativity and out of the box thinking."


"I haven't felt this good since childhood. So thankful they make this drug to help with my chronic anxiety. My entire outlook has changed, as well as my concentration."


"I've been taking 50 mg of Zoloft for OCD now for 9 days. I stayed off medicine and dealt with the OCD for a long time until I could not take it anymore. Since I have been on it I've been improving everyday although I still do the same routines I seem to have let some go, and the constant worrying all day to the point where you are making yourself sick has improved so much. I'm finally able to joke with my friends and not have worry about something so irrational. So far I'm very happy I started taking the Zoloft, the side effects that I get are sometimes randomly during the day I can't stop yawning along with being very tired but I heard the sleepiness goes away after a few weeks. I've had a few headaches, dry bloodshot eyes when I wake up."


"Don't take it!  First, it doesn't work. Second, I had stomach pain starting about 15 minutes after I took it. Sick stomach for hours. Then about 5 hours in I started throwing up violently. Delysim is the only thing I had in my stomach."


"I was against taking this medication until my flare-ups were so bad I was not able to walk or use my arm.
I am so grateful for this medication. I just had my 3rd dose (every other week). Other than the extreme pain during the shot and a bit unsettled for about 10 minutes after, I say this medication is a miracle.  I am 99.75% pain free ~ the first time in over a year.  So far no side effects other than very thirsty.  Cutting down on coffee and have increased my water intake.  I worry about possible future side effects but not being able to move is not living."


"Overall I'm doing better. I've lost weight and have more energy but my tongue is a bit swollen and mouth is dry and everything is very, very salty tasting. I have very vivid dreams but I'm able to sleep at night. I'm also on Latuda 40mgs at night. I have no desire to eat or drink and I'm not urinating a lot which has caused an infection and does not help with body pain. I will continue to take it because I'm able to work two jobs."


"This drug saved my life!! Sweating stopped immediately after first day.  Agitation gone!! If you are going crazy from menopause TAKE IT!
My stomach was upset for about a week.  I wish I would've listened to my Primary Dr. A year ago.  Just surrender and life will work out, calmly."


"I loved this medication until it gave me stroke like side effects. The side effects kept getting worst to the point where I couldn't stand up, grasp anything, I talked funny and even messed with my throat to the point of chocking. It is a very dangerous drug with crazy side effects,  not worth it. I did loose weight about 15 pounds, because I was never hungry while taking it."


"Words cannot express how grateful I am for this medicine.  I have dealt with these crippling headaches since my mid 20's.  Now in my mid-30's, I finally happened upon a physician (at a CareNow of all places) who actually listened to me as I told him of the nightmare I face at least three times a day, every day, for months on end, and prescribed Imitrex for me.  If taken at the very first sign of an attack, these little beauties (I take the oral) can save you 30 minutes to several hours of unimaginable pain.  I cannot recommend enough that my fellow cluster headache sufferers ask their doctor about considering Imitrex.  While there's no cure, this is the closest thing I've found so far that at least makes living with these headaches bearable"


"I'm 32 years old and just recently had to stop taking Letaris after two years because of liver issues. No medication compares to Letaris, it was a miracle for my pulmonary hypertension. I wish I could still take it."


"I was prescribed Jolivette due to my high blood pressure which was being caused by Ocella birth control. For the first 3 months I did not experience any side effects besides the irregular period which was advised in advance.  After 3 months, I first noticed the side effects below: extreme weight gain (50 pounds!) and cravings for food that I had not previously ever would eat. Oily scalp and hair loss, this was a first for me and thought that I was just getting older, but then confirmed that it was Jolivette! (I'm 30 by the way). Anger and stress to the extreme. Depressed for no reason (I actually thought I was pregnant and would take home and doctor tests but resulted as negative every time). Chest and stomach pains. "


"I'm in day five and it is terrible. I have woke the last two nights with chest pain,side hurt, back pain and numbness in both arms.Went away in about a hour.Have the worst yeast infection of my life. I'm so tired most of the time.When I start to do anything I give out. Will be so glad when I finish. Will let you know how I do."


"I can NOT turn off my busy little brain!  I started taking this OTC brand 6 years ago. It takes about an hour to work but WOW....I sleep great. If I wake up at night, I easily fall back to sleep.  I've had absolutely NO side effects. No morning sluggishness etc.  Only problem..I can NOT fall asleep without it now.  If I try to wean myself off of it, I am awake almost all night long.  After two nights of this, I go back to it.  I can get by on 1/2 of a 25mg tablet. After using it for so long, every night, I am just hoping they don't come out with horrible warnings! So far...so good!"


"Didn't work for back pain."


"Me and wife (in our 50's) tried it for the first time and great results.  Second time not as good.  We will keep trying.  Believe we need to take it out of refrigerator and let it warm up a bit might help,  I don't know.  My diabetes and wife fibromyalgia (or how ever you spell it). We will keep on trying"


"The only ADHD medicine that has worked for me without bad side effects. I've been on Ritalin, Adderal and Adderal XR."


"I am a 19-year white female who has been on this pill for approximately two months. In beginning, I couldn't tell a difference in much of anything. I starting spotting which just turned into my period that lasted like normal and wasn't too heavy. I haven't had any cramps to date, but cramps were never bad before the pill anyways. Acne has always been a struggle for me but the pill seems to have mellowed it out just a tad bit. But here is my number one complaint (with two parts lol), I experience so many UTI within my first month. SO many! Once I got those under control, the emotions went haywire. I would get VERY angry with people and my temper became very short. This side effect has yet to wear off. Very annoying."


"Have taken three different drugs of the same nature and purpose.
This has the mildest side effects. Nausea, sweats, insomnia, headache, joint pain, increased appetite, lethargy, dizziness are some of the side effects I am experiencing."


"Have been on Abilify for 9 days.  It started working in 1-2 days, however don't feel discouraged if you are not seeing immediate results - they say it can take time.  I started taking 2.5mg to augment my Effexor 375mg.  Abilify lifted me out of depression and gave me energy and motivation to do things again. It took away all my anxiety symptoms and made my worries seem foolish.  I'd been worrying intensely for a long time so it was a great relief.  It did initially make me a little sleepy.  And I think I've gained 1 kg (2.5lbs) so I'll have to watch it in that respect.  So far I am entirely grateful for this drug.  I spent so much time here reading the reviews before starting it, I was determined to come back and leave my own."


"I've been on Lupron since March 2015. Just had my 2nd shot. I have to tell you it's taken 100% of my nagging back pain and cramps away. I even lost 12 pounds the first shot. It started to wear out towards the end so I took the shot 2 weeks early. I had surgery May 12th to remove a huge polyp and 2 fibroid tumors  - all benign. I'm having hot flashes and some headaches, some joint pain and that's about it. These symptoms are worth the trade from previous symptoms. I only hope my doctor gives me a hysterectomy soon. She feels Lupron will shrink the fibroids outside my uterus. I'm almost 50 so she says I should hold off on the hysterectomy. I want all this done with. Good luck to all of you."


"I took the Take action pill and I have been bleeding for 9 days . Has anyone experienced this ."


"I'm in the beginning of month two on Loestrin. I've always had crazy periods, so my body is still adjusting.

I've had spotting the last week or so and my period just started before it was supposed to, but I think it's because I haven't been taking the pill at EXACTLY the same time everyday.

I'll quit taking it for a few days to let my period run its course, then will start again and hopefully keep things under control.

So far I have had no weight gain, no moodyness/anxiety, no crazy acne or anything. I have had minor cramps here and there but that's about it! I'll leave another review in a month or two!"


"I read all sorts of horror stories and I was terrified of this medicine and what to expect. 1) the taste didn't bother me WHATSOEVER. I've had cough syrup that tasted so much worse. It tastes like salty cherries, and I had no problems drinking it. It was almost pleasant. I chilled it prior to drinking and drank it like a beverage (mixed with water). 2) I experienced no nausea, no headaches, no cramping, none of the horrible side effects I read about. Just a faucet butt about 15 minutes after I drank the dose that lasted intermittently for an hour. Really not that bad. The anxiety was so much worse and really, there was nothing to stress about."


"Seeing all the positive reviews its upsetting it didn't work out for me. I started losing my hair very rapidly. My hair is the thinest its ever been in my entire life. So I stopped taking it."


"I used the suprep for my colonoscopy. I have to have one every two years and I am 74 so I have tried many bowel preps. This suprep was horrible, I use a straw to drink the prep and have no problem with the taste, but this was the hardest thing I have ever had to drink and while drinking my stomach felt like a balloon. After going without food for a day and going to the bathroom all day and night, this nasty stuff did not completely clean the bowel! Afterward I ran a low fever, cramps and diarrhea all the next day ."


"I went years without getting help until about 8 months ago when I finally broke down, saw a doctor, and was prescribed Zoloft. This pill has given me my life back. I was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, specifically intrusive/disturbing thoughts and obsessions. This disorder occupied all of my time and energy, to the point where life was unbearable and hopeless. About two weeks after starting Zoloft there were noticeable improvements. After 6 weeks, I was a different person. Anxiety-0, OCD, still there but more of a minor in convenience than life consuming. Side effects were typical at first: nausea, diarrhea, lightheaded, and insomnia. All of which subsided after a few weeks. I highly recommend that if you diagnosed, ask for Zoloft."


"I took this medicine one time and ended up at ER blood pressure spiked too 188\130.I had pounding headache my heart was racing and I was so dizzy I couldn't walk got to ER was rushed straight to back then I started vomiting from the pain I was having from my headache... The doctor told me to stop this medicine immediately I wouldn't recommend anyone to take this medicine."


"I just got my Implanon implanted on Friday, after being on the Depo shot for 3 years. Very simple. The anxiety is the worst part. It took about 15 minutes to actually prep/insert. I consider myself moderatly tolerant to pain and needles - the numbing part hurt a bit but I couldn't feel him doing the implant at all and the doctor made the comment "you have tough skin". I have just a small bruise and a tiny hole -  no stiches,  just a bandaid and cover the same as when you donate blood."


"My daughter took this drug only ONE time and the side effects were horrible. She is never taking another. Her injection was in late June. In that time she has gained 17 pounds where with her level of diet and exercise she should have been losing weight. She has horrible acne, where she's never had it before, she's constantly tired despite getting more sleep per night than she has in years, and she's irritable and depressed. Her doctor thought it was worth a try because she had such painful periods, but here's the thing. DP is a hormone. It disrupts the hormonal balance in your body (which is why you can't get pregnant) but hormones are not something that you should mess with. ONE little shot, and the side effects can last for months."


"After suffering for 2 weeks, I went to my GYN and was diagnosed with a bacterial infection. She prescribed Flagyl. And even though it tastes awful, I have found it to be quite effective. I am on my last day and even though I still have some slight symptoms, I feel much better. I took my doses with milk to lessen the nausea and used an oatmeal wash and miconazole nitrate cream for the itching. Both have helped a lot in getting me through this awful infection. Even with the bad taste and the side effects, I would definitely use this medication again, although I hope never to have this infection again."


"I was on venlafaxine and seroquel for about a year, and since it wasn't making much difference to my emotional state nor reducing suicidal ideation, my doctor removed the seroquel and replaced it with lithium. The first two weeks of being on it were possibly the worst two weeks of my life. In that time I slept no more than two hours a night, some nights not sleeping at all. I was incredibly suicidal and my skin all over my body itched. After that two weeks it seemed to flip like a switch and suddenly all I could do was sleep. I'm still on it a few months later and while the negative side effects have calmed down, I don't feel it has improved my mood at all. If anything it's made it flatter."


"I started at 72kgs., but after 6 DAYS of taking this pill, I lost 4kgs!!! I am so happy about the progress and I hope this will continue. I am planning take this for about 6 months so I can get back to my normal weight of 42kgs - that was my normal weight before I gave birth. Hopefully, this amazing weight loss would continue. I am trying to avoid oily foods and I have been eating more green leafy vegetables. I think it's working well for me. I'm not being bothered by oily stools anymore since I've been eating less fat and more fiber. Never had any "disturbance" at work as long as I avoid fatty foods at work."


"Honestly I had been really hesitant about starting this birth control based off the reviews it got but I've been on it for about 7 months now and seriously have no complaints! I think I experienced a little bit of nausea and fatigue the first month on it and some breakthrough bleeding up until the third month, but all those side effects have subsided and my skin has been super clear as well! My period usually lasts only about three days on this and is really light, and most important of all, I'm not pregnant!"


"I tried Effexor XR after most of the SSRIs I recently tried gave me diarrhea for more than just the initial adjustment period. I tend to be more on the anxious side of life and the SSRIs seemed to treat that better than Effexor, but I cant be in the bathroom all day. 75mg/day works well for me currently. I was on 150mg for a year which worked well, but then suddenly my anxiety and obsessive thinking was coming back.The doc upped dose to 225 and I got way worse, so we lowered it and boom. way better. "less is more" worked for me this time. Effexor XR also has less side effects for me regarding fatigue, hunger, weight gain and sexual side effects. as a woman this is a huge perk. mental health- the struggle is real! Good luck!"


"I had a clean face but since I had dramatic weight loss I had an outbreak of acne. My dermatologist gave me duac, I've used it since September and it has been slow but I've seen a big change. Its doing its job well , only thing is that it leaves your skin dry."


"I was so miserable with upper respiratory symptoms; nasal congestion, coughing all night, etc. One dose of Bromfed DM and I felt so much better, slept all night without coughing and congestion was gone. Great stuff!"


"I've been using this product for 5 weeks now. Before this, I have mild acne on the forehead and cheeks. I went to dermatologist and the specialist prescribed me this product to apply on my entire face every night for 2 months. And after 1 week using this adapalene cream, my acne gets worse and worse. Pimples keep popping out everywhere on my face even on areas that have never had pimples before. I am still using it because it does says on the brochure that the product's effect may be seen after 8 weeks. I'm using Aiken Tea Tree Oil for my pimples so that they will 'shrink' and heal quickly. So for the time being, I'm just gonna bear with all the acne on my face and wait for miracles of Differin Adapalene cream to work."


"I'm on day 3 and haven't had any crazy side effects. I've had the metallic taste in my mouth (which is nasty, DO NOT let it sit on your tongue too long- yuck!). Other than that, no concerns. Oh! I may have a slight increase in my appetite, but I'm okay with that. Love eating! Good luck :)"


"I've been battling migraines for more then a decade. Been through everything from Aromatherapy to muscle relaxers to antidepressants and so far this has worked the best.

Had a migraine last night and took a dose - in 20 minutes I could breathe again. Started to get another one several hours later and took another dose and it worked.

Good drug that does what it says it will do."


"5 wks in no weight lost. Flit back and forth with one lb. Side effects faded three wks in but not terrible. Headache @first. Workouts started this wk."


"I was on ortho Tri cyclen but stop due to stomach pain I switch over to this and notice I cry for any little thing. This pill has made me feel so emotional and I'm usually stronger than that. I had to discontinue."


"Had the implant January 17th 3 months after having my second baby. Thought it was great at first no period not having to worry about contraception, then started to struggle with my weight found it hard to control it constantly feeling hungry, more headaches than usual, spots on face and always feeling down. Thought it was down to busy tired mum running around after two babies but husband and friends noticed a change in my mood, etc. Getting it taken out in a couple if weeks. Friend had the same problem and felt better after having it removed."


"Cambia is Diclofenac Potassium. This company added flavor consisting of mint and anis (liquorish flavor). Also they added aspartame which is not a good thing. They charge hundreds of dollars for only nine powders. The actual drug of Diclofenac Potassium is cheap and you get a 30 day supply. I just crushed the pill into a powder and took with water just like the Cambia...worked just as fast and tasted better, because it had NO taste. Don't be fooled by the makers of Cambia. It is just another Epi Pen scandal story."


"I have been taking this birth control for a little over a year now. I have never had very heavy bleeding on my period but once on Loestrin my period is nonexistent. I noticed my acne getting worse after about a month. I have never had more than a few pimples here and there before but now I have huge cystic pimples all over my cheeks, chin, and forehead. This is the worst my acne has been, ever! I have been going to a dermatologist for about 6 months and my acne is not getting any better. I am switching to a different birth control once talking to my OBGYN. I have heard good things about Ortho Lo, so I am going to ask about that."


"I was given Tramadol after a knee replacement and for osteoarthritis.I had always had mild depression in life and anxiety in spite of an intense exercise schedule.Since taking 300mg daily most of the depression and anxiety have gone..such a relief.My doctor did not know that Tramadol can be effective for depression.There are side effects like dry mouth but benefits outweigh side effects in my experience"


"I have been taking Lortab for several years for pain. It's not effective as it was since the doctor lowered my dose from 10mg to 7.5mg. I think she's trying to treat the dependency I have developed over the years. I don't know if it's physical or mental but I do know it eases the pain."


"I began suffering from severe, chronic pain almost 9 years ago, when I developed a very serious condition known as progressive kyphoscoliosis that affected all levels of my spine. Specifically, my cervical and thoracic spine began to bend forward, while the lower portion of my thoracic and entire lumbo-sacral spine began bending to the right. The end result of this condition is death as the bending spine will eventually crush the heart and lungs. It took a few months to find a doctor near my home, who was willing to treat the severe, chronic pain with MS Contin 100 mg. and my breakthrough pain with the 30 mg Morphine Sulfate IR tablets. This medication stopped the bending. 9 years later I take MS Contin 200 mg 3 X per day and 30 mg Oxy prn."


"I have been on Contrrave 3 weeks now.  I started taking 1 in the am and 1 in the pm, then increased to 1 in the am and 2 in the pm.  I was always nauseous, but it would go away after a day or 2.  I have been on the 4 pill dose for a week, but it's made me so nauseous, I decided to cut back to 1 in the am and 2 in the pm and see if that helps.  I have not weighed myself (scale is not working), but will get weighed when I go back to the doctor on June 1st.  It doesn't really make me feel any differently other than the nausea, but that is preventing me from eating a lot.  It does help if I eat something small first thing in the morning, but I feel so sick, I don't want to.  I'm hoping cutting back for a week will help."


"Today I went in for my IUD Mirena insertion, and I have to say it was a bad experience for me. HOWEVER, here's my situation, I have only had ever light and short periods. I have never experienced cramps or sharp pains during my period. During the procedure I had insane cramping right away and I felt like I was going to be sick from both ends at any minute. I had trouble waking and was in crippling pain for 5hrs, and am still in slight discomfort. But from what my mom and the doctors all said apparently that's just what bad period cramps feel like. Ie if your use to bad periods this may be easier for you, but if not you may have a bad time like I did. I suggest bringing a friend with you in case."


"I was on the shot for almost a year in October I went to my doctor today for my shot I am still bleeding I bled for a week straight I want to stop bleeding I had blood clots for 3 days the blot clots stopped now I am bleeding heavy before my shot my doctor said the lining of your    Uterus sheds that Is why I was bleeding I know that when I am on the birth control needle it takes a week to work I hope that the bleeding will finally end so I can stop using pads."


"Lexapro has changed my life....I am an alcoholic who could never be in social situation without drinking...when I became sober I isolated myself from crowds, friends, working etc until I found lexapro which has cured me of my anxietities and I can now have a normal life without drinking.  I'm the me I was before I started drinking and couldn't be happier.  I also hear people say they've gained weight I have actually lost five pounds doing my normal activities and eating healthy "


"Was not givin the correct information and was not monitored after injection. I was honest and told the doctor I took suboxine 6 days before the shot and he said I would be fine. Well about 30 minutes after the shot I started having terrible withdrawals. Sweating and it felt like my skin was on fire for the entire month. I urinated every 15minutes. Couldn't sleep and extreme restless leg syndrome. Constant headache and urinary tract infection to boot. Zero sex drive and bad mood the whole time. Sought therapy at Calvary house and told all my symtoms. No one cared. At 1200.00 each month why would they."


"Used it my whole pregnancy!"


"I have used the Dulcolax pink a few times now, and even though it says it gentle, my tummy cramps so bad! It's just awful when I have to use a laxative. I drink plenty of water so that isn't the problem. Hopefully I will find a laxative that truly is gentle."


"I have suffered from depression since I was 14 (I am 22 now).  I've tried Lexapro and Celexa, but Lexapro was too expensive and Celexa quit working for me after a few months.  Prozac has completely taken away all suicidal ideations (which I have had almost daily since I was 14) and has made life so much easier for me to handle.  I can't believe that I have been missing out all this time! It's hard to believe that other people really live this way, without constant depression and anxiety, every day! I am so happy I found this medication. I did not know if it was possible to completely get rid of those thoughts.  Amazing medicine."


"I can tell a marked difference when I am without this, in between prescriptions.  This takes the usage of my rescue inhaler down significantly.  No negative side effects for me.  Expensive, but worth it as peace of mind for someone whose asthma is a daily nuisance."


"Lost 45 lbs. on Alli in about 10 months. I got pregnant and sadly am back where I started. I will be starting on all I again next month. Its a great boost to get you working in the right direction to a healthy lifestyle."


"Patanase caused headaches that increased daily until I had a 12-hour migraine. I quit taking it and the headaches stopped. "


"I take Valtrex for cold sores.  Just taking 2, twice a day for one day, and the next day it is gone.  It is really a life saver.  Anyone who has ever had a cold sore should really talk to your doctor about keeping Valtrex on hand."


"I've just took zopiderm 10mg about hour and half ago mouth feels a bit dry I still don't feel very sleepy I will let know the outcome tomorrow. Thanks"


"These pills significantly and quickly lowered my viral load as well as raising my CD4 count. Within 3 months I went from an almost 65,000 viral load to undetectable.
On the other hand I have had severe issues with nausea; reoccurring bladder/kidney irritation.
I had to increase my methadone to 100ml from 40ml over a course of 5 months and are still having issues with it. As well, I have trouble finding a time I can take my Rabeprazole when it won't affect my other medicines.
In general, Atripla is a God send for my HIV, though I am 7 months into taking it and am finding no end to, in fact an increase of nausea, even if there isn't an increase in vomiting. "


"I've been taking Lutera for about 3-4 years now and overall it is great. I originally started with Yaz, which gave me awful side effects such as acne, depression, weight gain. Lutera is very low dose and works well for me. I have experienced a few minor side effects such as stomach pain and decreased sex drive but all in all I like it and don't want to change to another pill."


"Was put on Lexapro in May 2005 after having lost my husband in October 2004.  Worked great for me, headaches at first then those tapered off after about 2 weeks.  Found a job which took my mind off of my grief in December 05, so weened off of Lexapro then stopped altogether.  In June 08 lost my job, the depression came back eventually and finally went back to my Doctor and was put back on Lexapro in April 09 with samples from my Doctor. This worked after about 4 weeks was feeling more like myself and less crying.  Then went to fill my prescription and my insurance company denied it.  My Doctor prescribed Celexa.  Only took it for two nights, and have had shakiness both mornings.  Hoping this will subside.  Have had several bouts of crying spells."


"I got my kyleena IUD placed 3 weeks ago. The insertion process was fairly painful, a few large cramps that lasted a few minutes and lots of pressure. I experienced minimal spotting and cramping for the next few days and basically just wore a heating pack all weekend. I had a small scare last week when they couldn't find my strings but it turned out to be tucked in my cervix and the IUD is still in place. In the last few days I've had some mild cramping but it may be because my period is coming up. Overall I think the kyleena is very worth it if you can get through the first few months of mild discomfort. I'd like to preface that the discomfort doesn't bother me much because I have many stomach issues already and am used to terrible periods."


"I was on Loestrin 1/20 for about a year and a half, and on Loestrin 24 Fe before that. I loved both of the pills and would highly recommend them, for most people. However, I had to stop taking Loestrin 1/20 because my doctor and I believe that it is the reason behind me not having a period at all for 3 months. Up until that happened, the pill was fine. A little acne around the time of the period, but that happened before I was on birth control. No weight gain, no bloating, very few cramps, and no moodiness at all."


"This drug just about killed me.. so be careful.  I took it for several months then I had an unexpected severe reaction.  I woke up one morning numb/tingling from head to toe - (like when your arm falls asleep).  I stopped taking it - it took about 4 weeks before all the tingling to finally go away."


"I started blood thinners for DVT, two days late started period was bleeding so bad was in the restroom every 10-20 mins..7 days later was in the hospital was slightly anemic less than 48 hrs later ended up back in the hospital blood count was 6.1 had to have 4 units of blood over two days they gave me a depo shot to stop the bleeding it took almost 72 hours to work now a little over a week out of the hospital I have started bleeding again...idk what to think about the depo all I know is it isn't working for what I need it to be."


"I found out I had trich within days of being infected. I was prescribed twice daily for 7 days. While my partner, he was prescribed the same, but the 4 pills at one time. We saw different doctors and his lab work hasn't confirmed trich, but since I tested positive - they treated him as if he had it as well.

Also was prescribed the miracle pill for a yeast infection, if the metro causes one.

Terrible metallic taste - I can't imagine 4 pills in one day.

Will update with the effectiveness for both he and I."


"Worked great at getting me to pee normally and had the bonus of giving me good erections without Viagra. The down side is no orgasm! That's a deal breaker for me. I stopped taking it.."


"I've tried 5 different brands of birth control pills over the past 8 years, but I've finally found The One. Although I experienced some horrible nausea during the first 2 months, I've always been susceptible to nausea when starting a new brand of bcp, so I know to wait at least 3 months for your body to stablize. I'm now on my 4th month of TriNessa and I feel GREAT. No more nausea, no more mood swings - just crazy clear skin and babyless womb.

Best of all though, and the reason I gave up on all the other brands I've tried: TRINESSA DOES NOT MAKE ME DEPRESSED. The other bcp made me suicidal and anxiety-ridden from the moment I started them.

Ladies, our bodies are different but don't lose hope on the bcp that's perfect for you."


"The best invention since the wheel!! Its magical, its amazing! Chantix actually makes you NOT want to smoke! I wish I did this years ago. Here's a tip for those who got sickly from it. Maybe the prescribed dosage is too much for your system to handle. Try introducing it to your body slower by extending the lower dose from 1 week to 2-3 weeks, or even cut the lower dose in half. Or maybe all you need is half the dose the entire time. And I recommend tapering off Chantix for a couple weeks when you're finished.  Everybody is different, so its worth trying what works for you!"


"I've been on this birth control for almost two years now. I started bleeding a week after it was inserted and have not stopped since. I've been bleeding for a year and 8 months straight now. Some days it's light and others it's extremely heavy. Planning on getting it removed this month."


"I have been on Axiron for about 3 months. The first month I only did one pump and noticed a big difference in energy and clarity. My T levels were at 395. However, the effects began to wear off and the doctor asked me to go to 2 pumps instead. That helped for a while but I believe the fatigue is coming back. I don't want to use a lot of this. I need to get my levels checked again, but after a month and a half they had actually dropped quite a bit. I was also on steroid for a nasal issue which I am sure didn't help."


"Allows me to stay asleep - have insomnia and sleep apnea and sleep with CPAP machine, also pain at night.  Only side effect is some mild depression, cry easily.  Could not take Ambien for that reason."


"I just wanted to share this in case there are any apprehensive people worried about having to get an injection. This is only my first week on Enbrel, but I feel like I have had some loosening of my joints and a reduction in pain. What I really wanted to share was that the injection is not nearly as scary as it sounds and does not cause a lot of pain. I was so scared to get a shot because of the comments online but my boyfriend finally injected my thigh with the sure click auto injector. IT'S NOT THAT BAD! I did it on my upper thigh and I barely felt any pain at all, I really built it up in my head! The side effects (nausea, diarrhea) are worse than the injection but not so severe. If you are new don't waste your time worrying and good luck!"


"I took Byetta for 7 months. The last 3 months I was taking 5mcg twice a day. I lost weight and my sugar level was good. But I was always bloated and constipated. It was not a good feeling. I like the results but have terrible side effects."


"From my experience Eylea is not as easy to inject as Lucentis, but the results speak for themselves.  I was able to go four months without an injection after only two shots of Eylea.  It completely dried up both of my eyes.  Lucentis never did this for me and I was getting monthly injections for over two years.  I have varied side effects from the injection ranging from eye redness to redness, itching, burning, and feeling like something is scratching my eye.  Giving the injection slower helped some."


"I took Trinessa for 6 months before I realized it was my birth control that was making me severely ill every day. From about August-February I was overcome by nausea and vomiting. I ended up in and out of the hospital numerous times and ultimately lost 60 pounds from vomiting. Trinessa is effective in preventing pregnancy, but not worth the side effects."


"Been on this med for 5 weeks. First of all the med definatly has helped my mood. I have been feeling mentally fantastic like I had felt 10 years ago before being depressed. All cobwebs gone thinking clearly and getting everything done and accomplished . Well this is where the down fall starts. Cant stop moving until I am so tired I pass out.I do sleep well and through the night but only seem to need  less than 6 hours verus 8 in the past. Legs, feet, arms and hands hurt. They tingle with numbness, feel heavy as bricks weak and rubbery and so swollen I cant hold anything or walk. I am picking up a deep cough and my throat is starting to feel closed up. It was nice to feel clear happy and not depresssed for this time but I need to walk."


"Having crohn's, I never suffer from constipation, ever.  I took 2 dulcolax Wed at midnight as directed for an endoscopy on Friday. Felt lots of gas discomfort within 25 mins. Impossible to sleep! Really painful cramps started by 2:15 am. Turned to extreme cramps every 10-12 minutes.  Like hard labour.  Severe diarrhea and vomiting for the next 3 hours, nearly passing out thinking I might die with forehead neck & inside elbow crease sweats for hours. By morning I am now passing blood with diarrhea. Cramps 20-30 mins apart. My crohns WAS very good for months. I don't think it's safe for 'some' like 'ME' to take this medication.  Pico-Salax should be sufficient for those whose bowels empty very quickly due to faster digestion."


"Quitting is awful! Be careful and make sure to follow doctor's guidelines or you WILL be very sick. Other than that it kicks in quickly and really helped me get back on my feet."


"My first post was 5/15/2015. Here's more. I'm doing OK, but want to share the trouble I had when increased to 20mg. I had really good days on 10 and 15 with manageable side effects. 20 threw me for a loop after a couple days - felt worse in every way - heightened anxiety and dark depression. But - it started to get better - a bad day - a good day - two bad days - two good days. This medication takes patience and a pdoc that will explain (mine didn't) all you can be in for. I feel I'm going to "win", but almost feel I deserve a prize for tolerating so many side effects. I had to resort to Xanax on the really bad days. Funny those who really need Xanax hate it? Still going to stick with Lexapro - I see the light at the end of the tunnel."


"For any teenage girl who is worried right now, don't be. I did the deed on sept 16 and the condom slipped off in me and I was so freaked that I drove over to Walgreens and took the pill within the first 24 hours because I was nowhere near ready to have a baby or be a mom I am WAY too young for that. At first I was fine, I had no symptoms and was normal but the second day was when the horrors began. I went insane, my mood was so swingy and I was constantly stressed out and nervous and just angry and I cried so much thank goodness I have such a supportive boyfriend to help me be okay. I didn't get the cramping and nausea too bad but I broke out a ton on my face. But do not stress it works and everything will be okay!!"


"I took Zoloft for a long time and it stopped working.  I am so glad it did.  Pristiq is 100 x better.  It controls my anxiety and leaves me clear headed, i.e. not numb.  I experienced some insomnia and increased sweating during the first week but it went away.  The only side effect I experience now is constipation, which I hope will go away because I don't plan on parting from this medicine for a long time.  It's been a life saver for me and I love it."


"Took first shot first of May 17. Had no period until sometime in June. And it was easy to handle. Was put on to  help lighten or even stop them. Then July 23 I started spotting. And have yet to stop. Would have rather dealt with my 3/4 days of heavy bleeding then this. You will start to hurt and smell down there as you are basically bleeding to death. Even keeping baby wipes around will make you raw.  Weeks of wearing a tampon all day and pads at night for a break and you will be sore.  Do not take this type of birth control. Only a handful of people do ok on it."


"I have migraines that are hormonal in nature and Imitrex has saved me from days' worth of pain many a time. I also have a grade-school daughter and if I have a migraine, believe me, the entire family suffers. The pain from a migraine can last 3 days for me so having something that will knock it out in a matter of minutes is in my eyes, miraculous. It doesn't ALWAYS work, especially if I have cluster headaches, but 90% of the time, it works for me on one dose. If the first dose doesn't work, I take another and that usually just completely wipes it out. "


"I am 50ish and have had 'issues' since 20ish and never written a review. Diagnosis is 'bi-polar II' (not sure I agree) but, I also have sleep apnea, hypothyroid & seem to have ADD (only H is my non-stop brain).  I have taken Wellbutrin, Prozac, geodon, abilify, seroquel, lamictal, cymbalta, zyprexa, lithium & others all at ridiculously high clinical doses - stopped each one cold turkey w/o issue. Lamictal worked a little at a point - Latuda (80mg) is the ONLY drug that has given me hope of feeling normal (along with ADD & thyroid). Working on the c-pap and hoping Latuda keeps working.  This brain stuff is a lot of guessing & @ 30 yrs in, I was about to give up on ever feeling ok again - this is awesome!  I remember being me & love it ; )"


"I started taking Aviane in April I switched to it from YAZ because it made me psycho with migraines every other day. At first I loved Aviane because my headaches went away. I'm now 8 months into it and breaking out like a teenager. I am 25 years old but you wouldn't know it by my face. I am so depressed about it. I don't want to look at anyone or talk to anyone. My overall mood when I don't have to talk to people is great. I love the way it makes me feel. It just seriously screwed up my face with cystic acne all around my chin and mouth area. I'm switching to another pill on Sunday! YAY ME! More breakouts through the transition period. WISH ME LUCK. :("


"I started taking this med in 7/30/17 I was at 212lbs. I was taking half of that pill for 6 days and it wasn't working! The 7th day I started taking 1 pill every morning an hour before eating in an empty stomach. It started working. In 2 weeks I had lost 7lbs(205lbs). I wasn't hungry at all! And I was eating a lot of protein! Then I got so busy at school I started skipping meal unintentionally! I stopped losing weight and I wasn't gaining either! 3 days ago I started feeling hungry again this time around 7-8p. I was starving. I was craving for soda, pasta. Today 8/22/17 I gained 2lbs (207lbs). I'm so disappointed because I fought really hard to lose those lbs ( going to the gym), eating salad, broccoli, fish without salt and sugar! Need help!!!!"


"I have had trouble sleeping for at least 10-12 years.  My brain doesn't seem to shut down.  OTC like Benadryl has no effect on me at all.  After many trials, my doctor found than a combination of Clonazepam and Tranzadone work great for me.  They two don't make me sleepy at all but instead calm down my brain activity in order to go to sleep.  I take them about two hours before going to bed.  In addition, I found that the Brand name Qualitest for Clonazepam works better than Teva.  I've been using this combination for about three years and they work great."


"Been using it for years. I trust it so much!"


"First off, thank you to all of the user who posted on this. I was really nervous starting Harvoni and read all of the entries on this post. So helpful! 25 years of Hep C wiped out in 8 weeks! Just unbelievable.

I've had a couple of other things going on (broken foot that kept me from work which was distressing) and gastritis. Maybe my insomnia was stress related? I had a few headaches initially and some mild fatigue (or was I just tired from fretting over my inability to work and dragging myself up and down stairs?) Whatever has gone on, it's nothing at all because I am clear! I don't have to stare "it" in the face anymore! Grateful? Thankful? Somewhere way beyond the limits of those words."


"The first time my doctor prescribed this medication I ate 2 whole large pizzas a family size Lasagna, 2 sandwiches and some desserts all in one sitting. The day after I decided to get off of it. I then realized I couldn't sleep very well and I had some depression which otherwise at the time nothing else was helping me cope with besides my Buspar/Klonopin. Thus I continued my dosage of 15mg (it is true at least for me the lower dosage is higher sedating) of the medication and once I figured out a way of controlling the 1-2 hour boost of what seemed an infinite metabolism. I felt awesome if only for a short while then and immediate beauty sleep followed. Definitely recommend this to anyone with sleep problems."


"I have had severe pain for the last 5 years and only in the last 2 years have found out what I have, severe osteoarthritis and sublexating patella. I have been on several pain medications and found that at the moment the best combination is 100mg Tramadol and 10-15 mg Oxycodone and a muscle relaxer every 6 hours. "


"I've been on it for 4 years and it does much more for my bipolar and extreme anxiety, then it does for my pain. I am now taking 50mg morning and 100mg evening. The new increase at night does seem to make my sleep a lot less uncomfortable and broken up."


"I've gone from 6 sulfasalazine, 1× 15mg tablet form of methotrexate, 4 naproxen and 1 omeprazole a day to only my 1× Enbrel injection and 1× methotrexate injection a week and am 100% better. I'm still exhausted and occasionally have puffy hands but pain and inflammation are gone."


"I'm a pitcher and have had bursitis on my upper hamstring for months. It finally gave out and caused a lot of pain where I could barely sit down. My doctor gave me Zipsor and it was 90% better in 1 day. My teammates take a lot of things for pain but I got to say Zipsor has been the best to date."


"I tore my shoulder labrum and the pain can be off the chart.  Hydrocodone and ibuprofen and ice helped some. After my doctor gave me the Flector Patch I noticed major relief in my shoulder within an hour. These work very well. These truly work."


"When you are depressed it's hard to want to take the effort to feel better such as exercise, walking, friends company. The XR version I feel is less for panic attack (prevention instead) and more of a mood elevator daily. Social anxiety is curbed, and being able to go outside the house and hang with friends has helped my depression so much.  It helps prevent and end negative thoughts throughout the day and makes your brain to think calmly. It lasts about 12 hours or so, then I take an IR in the afternoon to relax and fall asleep. The best part is not having to carry around a controlled substance all day."


"I felt better after 4 days. The reason why I didn't give this medication a 10 is because I experienced back pain while on this medication. Secondly, because I have to take the medicines for 7 days. I would have prefered to take AZO since it's only a 2 day medication but I couldn't because I was allergic to it."


"Am able to drive around town way better, but not on freeways or bridges. Sometimes feel dizzy when tired or overexerting. Doing more fun stuff"


"I like this but it made my head hurt and give me a dry mouth."


"I was prescribed this medication for twice a day for 10 days and on day 5, I had a tremor on my right hand and right after, my right arm and leg went numb. It was horrifying to experience especially because I am currently under getting a diagnosis if there being something wrong with my heart. So I didn't know if it was the pills or my heart until I started doing more research on the pill and tremors were a serious side effect. Yes I feel my UTI has gone away but I would NOT take again and I am still currently taking them but I'm going to talk with my doctor because I no longer want to use these drugs. Beside the tremor and numbness, I also became very tired, headaches, muscle pains, and nausea. Truly terrible to feel this way. I do not recommend."


"This medication is definitely not for everyone. Be careful when you take it for the first few times and make sure you are close to a restroom! I have struggled with constipation my whole life and my dr finally gave me linzess to try. About 2-3 hours after taking the medication I have at least 2 BMs that are diarrhea. And the gas it creates is horrible for me and everyone around me. I have been taking this medication for one week and I can't even continue to see if it will subside because it is just too terrible. To the point that I am scared I will have an 'accident' at work. My point to others is - beware."


"DON'T VAPE!! I was prescribed this drug for BV after getting an abnormal pap and Colposcopy done. All doctors and pharmacists are quick to tell you that you should not drink with it. That is very true, after taking this drug for 5 days and feeling awful from it, I decided to go ahead and drink a few beers. So nauseous! HEED THE DOCTORS WARNING ON THIS!!!! Finally threw up and took a nap and felt much better. I DID NOT know that the PG (in my vape juice) is why I felt so bad for the whole first 5 days. It actually was a Vape site that made it clear to me. I understand that all info can be found in a leaflet that you get when you pick up the med, I just didn't put it together about PG and it being in almost all my e-juice."


"It has worked well to control my asthma, but after several years it immediately causes me to lose my voice .. making unattractive squeaky sounds."


"I am a 57 yr old female who had a heart attack and a stent put in. I was prescribed Bystolic along with Norvasc to treat my hypertension. I didn't feel too bad at first, but after about a month on Bystolic (which my insurance won't pay for, nor does my local hospital have it to give to me when I am admitted). I had dizziness, low heart rate (41)and feeling like I was going to faint. I am uncomfortable taking this drug as the above mentioned symptoms caused me to be hospitalized 3x since the heart attack, and even had to have another cath to check the stent (which was fine). I will say it did keep my blood pressure low but the side effects hinder my quality of life."


"I recently started on Zyprexa Zydis due to some problems I am having with severe nausea and vomiting.  I was scared at first because I have been on Lithium for years and have no problems with it.  So far (other than the drowsiness)  I think this is great."


"I went to the ER last night because of a pulled back muscle that occurred 2 weeks ago...the pain(lower back) was just unbearable!  And when the pain also moved up to my kidney I thought "ok something is seriously wrong here...Turns out I had a pretty bad UTI that I didn't know about (NONE of the usual symptoms, pee flow regular, no spotting, etc.) 1st time ever being prescribed Cipro, 500mg 2x a day. Took 1st dose immediately after filling my script(10pm), second one 12hrs later(10am) by morning I had severe dry mouth after taking 2nd dose so I started drinking a Gatorade and immediately started vomiting, my kidney hurts more than it did before going to ER, headache since last night, and I'm only on day 1 :("

"I am very happy my doctor recommended and prescribed this medicine. It has made dramatic changes with my mood and the small stuff really does not bother me anymore. I am happy a lot more and not anxious or worried like before. I do highly suggest you eat before taking it as I forgot to do that once and won't ever again! It helps me not over eat either which is incredible and I have not experienced weight gain and my sex life is still very healthy. I am very satisfied with this medicine."


"I have been on Nexplanon for the past two years. When I first got the implant, everything was going great until a month into it. My mood changed drastically due to the hormones and I wanted it out as soon as possible. I was told to wait a few months to get used to it so I abided by this. 4-6 months in, I started getting horrible acne, and I am now on two different prescriptions to (hopefully) get rid of it. The acne won't go away and my dermatologist said it won't until I get the implant taken out. Fast forward to today, I have been continuously bleeding for three weeks, going on four, (have never bled on Nexplanon before) and can't take it any longer. Nexplanon was great, up until now and the other side effects."


"The only med that ever worked for me! Although it has major side effects like confusion, memory loss, and muscle aches. Thanks sunovion for making a wonderful product. Unfortunately  I can't take it right now cause I don't have insurance and 120 milligrams is 1200 bucks for a month."


"I took Exlax yesterday morning and a few hours later screaming with pain.. I've puked and puked from the pain in my belly.will never use again and it's been 36 hours and still no bowl movement just horrible pain."


"I am 7 months post Lemtrada infusion. I feel fantastic! I have began old hobbies and took of new ones as well. From rock climbing to jogging and camping, hiking. I have seen a 90 o/o improvement in my condition.  My vision has restored in my right eye. My leg does not give out nearly as if it had before. I started a jogging regimen too. My drawbacks have been off and on shingles outbreak and tonsill hole issues. I am glad I chose Lemtrada! It gave me my life back, to me it is the cure for MS!"


"I was diagnosed with bile reflux and GERD, the doctor prescribed me sucralfate to take 4 times a day and I didn't notice much difference, the only change I really observed was dry mouth. Then I started taking a pill every time my GERD would act up and it makes such a difference. It soothes the burning feeling almost instantly. There are a few minor side effects like dry mouth but it's worth it."


"I tried taking Seroquel when I was a teenager. Everytime I took it it would knock me out & I would sleep the whole day away. Needless to say, I wasn't on it for very long."
