"I was taking oxycodone 15mg every 3 to 4 hours.  My doctor tried me on Embeda 20mg.  It lasted about 4 hours and I still needed about 4 oxycodone tablets per day.  He upped my dose to the 50mg capsule. It works great and have not needed my breakthrough medicines at all.  I'm a pharmacist and the Naloxone is not released. It only comes out if you crush the pills.  It's to avoid abusers looking for a quick high.  Used correctly, you will NOT get any Naloxone (opioid antagonist). "


"First day I took this and I started having jaw pain and eye twitches. By the second day I had the eye twitches, worsening jaw pain, a rash on my jaw, and extreme heat on my jaw. Also had a rash on my chest. Immediately stopped taking the medicine. My muscles on the right side of my face felt a little weak so I called the doctor. I don't feel I need to go to the ER quite yet but my husband is keeping a close eye on me. (I'm not usually allergic to any medication at all)."


"I started this medication after gaining 17 kilos from another medication that I have to take. I was extremely down as I have never really struggled with weight gain before. I have now been on this medication for a week and I have lost 2.2kilos but I have also changed my diet and exercise everyday. I feel that it has helped me maintain my Portion sizes and differently makes me feel full after small meals. I did feel slight nauseous the first few days but that quickly subsided. I'm hoping to lose another 10 kilos by Christmas. I would recommend this medication."


"I was in a car accident in 93 and had to have rods placed in my back. I was prescribed Norco 10 mg for years. The medicine was not helping my pain anymore. I explained this to the Dr aband they prescribed Percocet 10 mg. There isn't much that normally helps my pain, so I was reluctant to even try Percocet.  I am definitely happy that I allowed the change, because I am in no pain at all now. I would recommend this anyone that had chronic pain. The only disadvantage to the medicine is if you don't have insurance, the cost is around $100."


"NOT If it was the last diabetic drug left on earth!  I never had any body pain till I went on to this medication. I had stopped and started it four times. Each time the body pain a lymph nodes were swollen , I was screened for HIV all other STD 4 x in one year as well as cancer screening to see if that is what was causing my lymph nodes to go into overdrive. Nothing was found so every time I took the pill my body would try and fight it.  It caused so much, I had 3 yeast infections and  it absolutely destroyed all mucous membranes  to drastically thin and tear... this is a horrible pill!!!"


"I first started using Frova 4 1/2 years ago. It was wonderful and a great replacement for the Imitrex that no longer worked and had some side effects. Now I am having rebound headaches. I can guarantee I will have another migraine at almost exactly the 24 hour mark from the time I last took Frova. Have switched back to Imitrex and it is doing the job."


"I have been diagnosed with PCOS and it was chosen that I would take Yasmin. I was fine for 4 months, then I started bleeding and didn't stop for over 3 weeks! Dreadful pill! Didn't help properly at all! I don't advise for anyone to take it!"


"I had been using the pill for 8 years.  I used the first version of this pill, yaz, then switched to b-yaz when it came out. I went about my life for a few years and then considered switching to Ashlyan which is just one period every 3 months. Well let me tell you having only one period every 3 months is MAGICAL. Unfortunately my acne went full force, 6 months into the new pill my entire face was broken out. I was using the strong topical prescription available & still just getting worse. I was at my lowest when I realized the problem was probably the pill. I spoke with my doc & we decided I could switch back to b-yaz and just get 2 extra packs a year and still get only 1 period every 3 months. 1 month into b-yaz & My face is clear again!"


"I suffer from TMJ syndrome and sinusitis.  I have recurring headaches.  I have taken this drug on/off for 12 years.  I am allergic to a lot of meds, so it's been well-suited for me. I do know it is habit forming, as if I have to take it for several days, I do have some withdrawl symptoms."


"I read a lot of comments on hydromorphone and thought it would help me greatly with my chronic back pain. So I was shocked when I got the 2mg script and got no relief in pain whatsoever even after taking 6mg. "


"I have been on Elavil for 7 months now. I take 20mg every night for severe pain in my shoulders, arms and neck and also for depression. It's the best thing I have taken and I have tried loads of medicine but none have worked. I also couldnt sleep, but now I don't have pain. I am a lot calmer and I have never slept as good. I haven't put weight on either. It's the best tablet that I have been on."


"I started Zoloft around August In 2012, so say 8-9 months. I do remember the first week I tried taking it to bed cause a friend said it may make me sleepy. Well, it did the total opposite so I take it in the morning and it gives me a little help waking up. I have had anxiety problems ever since I was in elementary school and I can tell a difference. I'm a student, so I'm always stressed but Zoloft makes me stop worrying about it. It helps me feel more normal. I may possibly need to have a higher dose but overall, it's worth a shot to try!"


"This is just my second day of amitript. and I feel so doped and drugged out...Dr gave it to me for severe anxiety (GAD) which I have suffered for years...I could never tolerate the SSRI's and so she is now trying the amtrip...I feel so out of it and depressed...cant hardly move off the couch much less do any things around the house...I know this is a sedating antidepressant and its the older ones but at such a small dose will I ever get use to the sedating effects and will it really help with the anxiety I have...I dont want to feel like this if its not going to ever help and alll I feel is drugged out every day...I am taking it 3 hours before bedtime and sleeping til 10am the next morning ..should I change meds or give it a go...thanks guys.x"


"Seems to be working appetite is under control the side effects r no longer been taken about a month now but the cost seems to be very high"


"Having chronic constipation my whole life leads me to taking 2 Dulcolax every couple months just to clean out my system. I LOVE this product. To me the time of day that I take the medicine doesn't matter, just make sure you give yourself at least 20hrs of easy toilet access. I know the packaging says 12hrs maximum, but there's always lingering urges to go. Regarding the cramps, I don't find them bad in comparison to how amazing you feel afterwards.  I do get semi nauseous,  but I have never actually thrown up while on Dulcolax.  My only complaints would have to be the amount of time it takes for the medicine to leave your system, and the side effects. However, it is completely worth it in the end!"


"Was taking this medication and experienced top lip swelling twice. By the process of elimination I concluded it was from Lisinopril. After many months of not taking it I was again prescribed lisinopril. This time both my lips swelled so severely I had to spend 2 days in the hospital."


"I have not been on Nuvaring for very long and I do love it. I have some side effects but I can live with. I have been on it for about 2 months. I love that as soon as I put it in all bleeding stops within just hours. The 1st month I had no issues at all I just kept checking that it was still there because I couldn't feel anything and didn't want to get pregnant. But this second month I have had a small yeast infection and been pretty dry down there and my sex drive is not what it was but not gone. Only real issue is my husband feels it so now when it comes to "fun" it has to come out before and back in after and that I can do. Other then those few things so far I LOVE IT!"


"I love it because it helps me focus and it also helps with my anger problems but best of all it helps with my appetite."


"Been on Humira over two years. This medicine brought my Crohn's under control. I am on one pen every two weeks. Brought it into remission. Well worth the painful shot. That pain is gone in seconds. Beats chronic pain."


"I have been on this pill for about 6 months, face is nice and clear, but that's it.  I get anxiety and feel worried all the time and never can be truly happy or enjoy anything.  I get shortness of breath just sitting down.  There are times I feel like I will be having a heart attack and I am only 25 and healthy. Makes me so emotional at times, I just want to cry out of nowhere . For sure great at birth control , sex drive is gone, dryness and at time discomfort. Plus a 22 pound increase."


"I take 80 mg of Geodon, 25 mg of Topiramate, 40 mg of Prozac, 50 mg of Trazadone, 200 mg of Lamictal, 100 mg of Vistaril, and Xanax as needed for anxiety. The Lamictal helps me the most out of any drug I have ever been prescribed.  I was on 50 mg of Lamictal and went through a pretty rough depression, I felt catatonic and didn't care about anything - I felt desolate. I am now taking 200 mg and I feel so much better! I have more energy, I have a genuine smile, I feel like my old self again...or, pretty close anyway."


"I've has mine in since November 2014 and it's due to come out at the end of this year. I've had no complications, not one period since having it implanted, not even spotting until this morning when I woke up I had bled everywhere, seems as though mine has run out? if that's even possible? It's been amazing since this morning. Can't fault it"


"When I was first diagnosed my hands hurt so badly I wondered how I could convince my doctor to amputate them and give me prosthetics. Methotrexate was among the first things tried to get my RA under control. After steroids, a variety of IV therapies, and anti-inflammatories Methotrexate has been my mainstay and keeps my RA under control as well as the biologics. I take it orally with no side effects. Yeah for Methotrexate in my life."


"I have done much better on Micardis than on the other one I used to take, Cozaar. Micardis lasts longer and seems to get my pressure way down. I'd say all in all I'm very pleased.
My doctor said It's a great drug."


"I think I just worry to much after reading other peoples experiences! But after one constipation experience I started to worry even more! I had a 2 cup of blood BM! I'm 82 and wish for a short-cut! Seems all Laxative Meds do what they want to! I wish I had been accepting that fact sooner!"


"I use the gel and it may take a little time to work (about 30-45 minutes), but the effect is pretty good. It will take my pain from a 9 down to a 5 (that's pretty good for me)."


"I had minimal results. My doctor indicated since this is a TNF blocker, my TNF's are already blocked so she decided to place me on another medication. I could feel immediately the response after the injection, but with minimal results. This was such an easy drug to use."


"I used Macrobid to clear up a UTI. Worked well for the UTI, but a week or so after I stopped the treatment, I broke out in horrible hives. It's been weeks, but I still have flare ups."


"Every time I use Flonase it enhances my symptoms to a greater and almost debilitating level. My eyes become red, inflamed, and watery. My nose runs more. My throat becomes red and sore. I am not sure if I am allergic to an ingredient in the spray or not, but it does not provide any relief. Only makes the ones I have multiply."


"I am finishing my 4th week of Viibryd.  I'm afraid to jinx myself by saying this, but I feel I have my old life back again.  The reality of being on an anti-depressant (Viibryd) and being MORE sexual MORE quickly is heaven to me!  I have renewed hopes about a future I never thought I'd see.  My last marriage ended because of Zoloft, Effexor, you name it, and hard to date, too, and explain why nothing's working and it isn't going to work.  Please keep working, Viibryd!!  My only side effect has been two nights of terrifying nightmares.  I'll take those any day over not being able to be a complete woman."


"This is the first time I've encountered an STD, and I've been married and sleepig with the same man for two years now, so we assume I got it before I met him (as I slept around a bit then), but wow they weren't kidding! This sucks. I'm already 12 wks and 6 days pregnant...and before I started taking the medicine today, I was already puking my guts out. I puked again about 2 hours after taking the one time dosage, and thst was the worst! Then I had to shower because I felt so gross! Now I'm sitting on the toilet with the worst diarrhea (cramps I'm used to, I got those badly with my menstrual cycle so no biggie) but man this is no joke: I even ate a couple hours before I took them too. Here's to hoping these tablets works and is worth it."


"I cannot rate this highly enough, since just before I was prescribed amlodipine, my B.P. was 225/147 and was feeling decidedly unwell, have had serious hemorrhaging in my left eye for which I was regularly having laser eye treatment. After takin amlodipine within 24hours my B.P. went down to 136/78 and has stayed that way for the last 3 months."


"I had microscopic colititsSevere abdominal pain a couple hours after taking med. Dried out mucosa of mouth so much could hardly talk. Also dried out eyes so much took a day of using artificial tear drops every two hours to make eyes comfortable"


"Cymbalta works very well for me.  I was very reluctant to try it because of the concerns other users have brought up re: side effects and horrors of withdrawal symptoms and talk of "brain zaps."  I started Cymbalta after trials of Wellbutrin, Lexepro and Celexa within the last two years.  I was desperate to relieve my depression. I began Cymbalta in the spring of 2011.  One side effect I occasionally suffer is stomach upset/burning. Tums relieves the symptoms as well as omeprazole. The other side effect I occasionally suffer from is the flu like symptoms (withdrawal symptoms) if I forget a dose or am late with a dose.  I found the best time to take Cymbalta, for me, is at noon."


"I have a hiatal hernia which can cause bad reflux, etc. I've been taking Prilosec at least ten years (probably closer to fifteen) and I've never had ANY negative side effects. It has been invaluable for relieving the inflammation and irritation associated with reflux, gastritis, GERD, etc. Awesome medicine, never had any interaction issues, and I'm on a number of serious medicines (heart, blood pressure, anti- anxiolytics, and pain meds). I'm 58, and will probably be taking it as long as I'm around. Great medicine."


"The first three weeks on cryselle were pretty awful. I had headaches and stomach pain constantly. But after the first three weeks, all of that ended & now I take it without any issues. As long as you get through those three weeks & stick it out it's awesome! I've lost weight, my periods are light and short & my acne is gone. Definitely recommend this! Just push through those first three weeks!"


"Hi, I took plan b approximately 24 hours after unprotected sex during one of my high fertile days ( 13 days past last period) I felt some pressure cramping on my left side a few hours later. I didn't get any other side effects until exactly 2 weeks after taking the pill ( which also happened to be the day my period was suppose to start).

ThAt morning I woke up with sore and full breasts, slight cramping, and a tiny bit of brown discharge that was present throughout the day. I had a little streak on my panty liner and I could see a clearish/brown discharge when I would wipe. The brown discharge was on and off for 2 and a half days. It has now been 4 days since I should've started my period and I'm constipated, , my boobs still feel hard and full, I'm tired, not feeling motivated and hungry for junk food.

If I don't start my period in a couple more days I'm gonna to take a pregnancy test just to make sure.

Has anyone else had any of the same symptoms as I've had? I've done so much research online and most girls have some sort of symptoms, bleeding and/or discharge from a few days- a week after taking pill not 2 weeks after.

Not sure if anyone will read this but I will be back to update if pregnant or just plan b messing me up."


"Have been on cymbalta for a little over 3 months. It has changed my life for the better. My anxiety had gotten to the point that I was hiding in the restroom at work during episodes almost everyday. I am able to communicate what I am thinking more clearly. I don't break out in a sweat if something isn't going the way I think it should. I feel like myself before the panic/anxiety attacks started several years ago. I was dieting when I started taking cymbalta and lost more weight than I had been averaging. Didn't have as much appetite as usual, which wasn't a bad thing. The irritability is gone and I am a lot more pleasant to be around. I am me again."


"I have been taking Buspar for 2 months and have definitely noticed I am more relaxed and less reactive and upset in stressful situations. Prior to Buspar I had taken Xanax as needed for anxiety but it made me extremely hungry I would eat so much (and even worse-not remember) that it just gave me more anxiety from all the weight gain. I am only taking Buspar now and I take 7.5 mg x 3 daily. I am able to function on this medication and not feel like a zombie. I feel very relaxed and I am starting to enjoy life!"


"Makes me feel very tired and quite unwell (low mood, upset, sad etc).  Dont seem to get much pain relief, although it takes the edge off the worst pain.  Not sure about it, but think I am negative towards it because it is a anti convulsant drug and I am using it for neuropathic pain.  Positive comments from this site may make me try and think better of it!!"


"Shot has been working well 31 weeks and waiting ."


"Was taking Seroquel in combination with Wellbutrin and Zoloft.  Took at night to help me sleep but it left me foggy, tired, and dizzy the next day.  In addition, it made me VERY fat.  Gained 20 lbs in a little over a month and could not stop eating.
Off it now, will save the pills for anxiety attacks (knowing it will knock me out.)
Effective, but side effects were too much."


"I was diagnosed with psychotic depression for 7 months and my psychiatrist put me on zyprexa 5mg. After using antidepressants I got into mania. This medicine is a miracle. I was relieved in one week. I am still taking it but I became a bit hesitant to continue due to some horrible reviews. Tried Invega And had suicidal thoughts. This medicine is great for mood with combination with lamictal."


"I've seen a lot of negative comments and I want to share mine to show people you can have a positive experience with Nexplanon. I got my implant December 2013 and am coming up on my 3 year mark. For the first couple of months on Nexplanon I had irregular periods, some lasting over 2 weeks at a time. Needless to say it was awful. However, after those two months, I stopped getting a period. I have experienced no side effects since then and have been absolutely satisfied with my birth control. I've read that a lot of people gained weight, but I actually lost over 15 pounds since being on Nexplanon. Obviously every person has a different reaction to birth control, but overall my experience has been amazing and I wouldn't choose anything else"


"I wasn't technically "Overweight" in most books, but was about 30 lbs more than I was a couple of years ago.  At age 37, I was 5'8" and hovering around 200 lbs.  I was not happy at all...my clothes weren't fitting, and I wasn't getting results at the gym.  Couple that with my bad habit of meeting buddies for happy hour almost daily, and boom- there I was.

I told my doctor about this, and he put me on 37.5mg phentermine.  I couldn't tell a difference at first, but slowly I noticed I didn't crave that cheeseburger, I didn't binge eat out of boredom...in fact, I didn't even think about it.  I've been taking the medicine daily for about 2 months, and have gone from 200 lbs to 181.  Diet and exercise are key...great medicine!"


"I started Humira at the end of July this year and within a few days, my pain in my lower back and neck disappeared.  Recently my wife picked up my prescription and left the Humira in her car for 8 hours not being refrigerated in 90 degree weather.  I used the Humira and my symptoms returned.  I contacted the 1-800-4Humira number and spoke with a nurse who informed me that the Humira (when left outside) was unstable and should not had been used.  Lesson learned... make sure to immediately refrigerate your Humira.  I am now waiting to get my next injection and am praying it works for me again."


"My boyfriend and I were having sex and the condom broke. We were both in utter shock and scared  of or minds considering we are 17 and seniors in high school. I had just started birth control a week before the accident so I was still unsure because I didn't know how effective it would be so early on. We drove right to the pharmacy and got plan b. I took it within an hour of the condom breaking. I experienced some of the symptoms such as nausea, leg pain, abdominal pain, and headaches. I wasn't due for my period for another 2 weeks. These were the worst 2 weeks of my life. Not knowing whether or not my life would be ruined. Well, 2 weeks just went by and today I was gifted with my period! Plan B saved my life."


"I was about to give up on getting rid of my acne, I was on antibiotics, prescription face washes, gels and masks. I finally went to the dermatologist and she gave me a sample of Epiduo - within 2 days my acne was already going away! it's like magic. I love my skin, I no longer gave to wear makeup everywhere I go. Best thing in the world. I gave it 9 stars just due to the fact of the irritation that occurs when it's applied, it's sometimes unbearable, it may just be my sensitive skin. It also causes your skin to peel a lot!"


"It's great for pregnant women and doesn't make me sleepy."


"I've never given birth and I just got home from planned parenthood. Wow-- the insertion was 100X easier than i thought after reading these reviews. Seriously not that painful-- just relax! I'm cramping a tiny bit and spotting but it's fine. I'll update in the weeks and montha to come, but the insertion was honestly so easy. I did swear once out of pain, which is pretty moderate for me. I took .5 mg of xanax (i have a hiatory if panic attacks) and 800 mg of ibprophen 45 minutrs before. Highly reccomend"


"I have had a pre/existing panic disorder for several years and then 7 months ago I tragically lost both my parents within a few weeks of each other. They were in their early 60s, I'm in my 30s.

My anxiety exacerbated with my grief and I simply cannot sleep without taking Vistaril.

It was initially prescribed to me to help alleviate my anxiety  throughout the day, however, it makes me too drowsy and so I am working through my anxiety in other ways in the daytime.

I was initially prescribed Ambien for sleep and hated it.

I have Vistaril in two different dosages and find the 50 to be best for deep restful sleep. 25 if I'm in need of a nap."


"38 years old. Take blood thinners as prevention of blood clots due to clotting disorder. I've experienced on again, off again dizziness and wooziness during the day.  Will need to talk with my doctor about this."


"Hi, I am Brazilian. So, sorry about my English. I am 57 yo and I started to have a very hard anxiety and depression around 10 years ago. After a lot of diferent antidepressants and anxiolytic medicines that worsened or destroyed my sexual life for almost 10 years I found that I had hypogonadism. My doctor prescribed Axiron 6 months ago and my depression and anxiety simply disapeared and I have now a normal life, with much more energy and my sexual life is back. Axiron saved my life."


"This is the worst form of birth control I have ever taken. I am currently on Nexplanon and I started taking sprintec with it because I had irregular menstrual cycles. Although it did get the job done as far as somewhat regularating my cycle, the side effects were TERRIBLE. I constantly felt nauseous and ill, I literally had headaches on a daily basis. I also started to gain more weight, feel depressed, and had very bad anxiety. I do not recommend this birth control to anyone!"


"I have been on the pill for six years now and never experienced any problems up until I switched to this one. I have been on it for about two years and the first six months were great; I never had periods, no acne, slight moodiness but that seemed pretty normal. And for the last year and half I have had horrible acne, I have been very moody, and irregularity in my periods. I loved it at first, but it's like it suddenly took a nasty turn. But every woman's anatomy is different and I recommend asking a professional about different types of birth control."


"I have been on Belviq for nearly 18 months. I take 10mg twice daily. My BMI was in the Obese range. I never had a single side-effect. Not one. I have lost 45 pounds. The medication just took away my cravings. I never even want dessert, and have no desire for sweets.
Sadly, I am not an exercise person, so I've done very little of that. Some people might think that 45 pounds indicates a slow weight loss in that length of time, but I am thrilled. By the way, I just eat normal food, but much smaller portions. I just get full very quickly
 I'm sorry some people have had problems or side effects. For me, it was a life saver. I still have 25# more to lose, but I'll get there. Then I have to figure out how to keep it off!"


"I called the doctors due to weird symptoms after my 5th day of taking this medication this concludes (chills, naseous, diareah, headache, and even numbness throughout my entire face , lips and mouth, and the shakes) the pain I get from my uti's (burning sensation, hard to pee and hurts) I felt like bactrim made my pains worse the burning was 100x worse ! I felt as If I was dying!!!!  I even had severe insomnia up until 6-7 am! Called the doctors and they said I should have called when the headaches and shakes came a long! Cut me off it immediately and prescribed me macrobid instead, hope it helps !!"


"I have been on Seroquel for 2 years.  It really is a miracle.  It has helped with my mood swings and problems sleeping.  The only issue has been the weight gain.  I've probably put on 35 lbs and I've never had problem with weight gain.  The benefits of this medication make up for the weight gain."


"I had my doubts that this would work -- it was fantastic! within 15-20 minutes the pain that felt like my skull was in a vise disappeared. I am a horse trainer and I work full time on my own farm, and I can't function when I have a migraine, ( 4-5 attacks a month, 24-48 hours each time)  Maxalt 10-mg was a miracle for me. I don't have to put all the work on my daughter, and my temper has become much more even.  The anxiety of worrying about a migraine attack has helped enormously, for my emotional state, too. **side note** I had a Mirena IUD and had it removed, I believe this contributed to the attacks, so hopefully in 4-6 weeks I won't need the Maxalt, either."


"This drug gave me a stomach ache. I just wanted the side effects to be gone. Didn't take long and my stomach pain was gone. I will try eating when I take the pill again. I have bad hip pain as I have arthritis."


"No side effects yet. On my third month, just started noticing that I am not hungry. I have gain 20 lbs since I started, but I was off all medications for six month, urinating every 1/2 hr. Ate dinner out last night, my first time ever taking a doggy bag. I have a lot of bumps at the injection sights that have not gone away or gotten smaller. These are mostly when I inject in the upper abdominal region. My doctor does not know what they are, I am her first patient on Bydureon."


"I am halfway through treatment for HPilori bacterial infection.  I haven't experience side effects like some have mentioned because I was told to take PROBIOTICS while on this treatment to put good bacteria back in my system.  I had previously had treatment for another problem and took antibiotics but not a probiotic and had awful side effects that took time to clear up.  This time when I took probiotics with the BP Pac the results were excellent! I only have the acid taste in my mouth and feel a little tired but otherwise no other side effects.  Wonderful!!  The probiotic should be taken between the two doses and not with the dose."


"I have severe insomnia and Ambien CR has worked very well for me. Previously, I tried the Ambien IR and while it did knock me out for a good 3-4 hours, it didn't help me to stay asleep and the Ambien CR does just that. My only complaint is some days I seem to very drowsy and sluggish, but most of the time I wake up feeling refreshed and ready tackle the day."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I was shocked to find that my "unflavored" (according to my pharmacy) Suprep was a sickly sweet, childhood grape-like flavor that I literally had to gag down. There is nowhere on the packaging nor bottles that indicated this flavoring. I finally found the full ingredients buried on the back of the poster size insert ".. sucralose.. flavoring ingredients.."  I would rather add some Crystal Lite if I want sweet and I can choose my own flavor. Absolutely gross and needless flavoring."


"I lost 10 stones in 15 months - the first 7 stone came off easily in 7 months.

I was following a healthy diet - but found it easy to reduce my calories. I had loads of energy and felt great."


"I used Hypercare for the first time 2 nights ago and the next day when biking I DID NOT SWEAT. I had been suffering from really bad sweating since the middle of 9th grade. By the time 10th grade started I figured that it would go away, it didn't. Almost 4 months after 10th grade started I decided to try this product. I was a little skeptical at first as I had tried almost every deodorant known to man, even clinical strength, and yet none of them worked and only made the sweating worst. However one day after using Hypercare I'm no longer sweating even while doing physical activity. I'm going to report back in about a week to say how it works in school since I feel it would really benefit those who check this site out."


"Severe Leg pain and swelling in my legs!!

Decreased sex drive

Easy application"


"My doctor put me in this to see for sure if I have lupus or a rheumatoid disease. He said if it made me feel better then I probably did.
This drug definitely took away my pain and stiffness. I have bad pain in my left knee that radiates up my hip but that's from a torn meniscus that I'm receiving survey for next week. The other pain is pretty okay.
But I can't handle the side effects. As someone who is always nauseous, I can't handle being more nauseous than usual. If that wasn't a side effect I would take them medicine every day to get relief from the pain I've been having.
But I'm only 23 and have had such a crappy quality of life for the last seven years that I'm not willing to risk adding more nausea. Stopped taking it after 3 doses."


"I have never had thoughts about suicide until I took Prozac. This was the absolute scariest experience of my life."


"This medicine is a miracle.  Sore clears up within 3 days and faster when I take as soon as I see on-set of sore.  I take 2-500mg on first dose and one as directed.  Do not hesitate having these on hand in case a flare up occurs.  Unbelievable and I pass this info on to others I know and they are so grateful."


"Had sex with my partner and the condom broke. This was right before I was supposed to ovulate and I took Plan B the next day, probably 12 hours after what I have been referring to as "the incident". I experienced slight cramping and minimal, barely there abdominal pain the day after taking the pill, and was more emotional and felt fatigued. My period came 5 days earlier than expected (almost two weeks to the day of taking the pill), with more only slightly more painful than usual cramps and a lighter flow. I'm so thankful that it worked and I was able to avoid an unplanned pregnancy because of this condom malfunction."


"I'm a 52 YO male in fairly good shape. I started taking Metoprolol, 50mg twice a day after suffering a cardiac arrest earlier this year, in April. It has been very effective in controlling my blood pressure and keeping my heart rate low. The side effects are becoming unbearable now though. I'm tired, and have a lot of trouble focusing on my work during the day, have a lot of restless nights of tossing and turning, and have now developed a rash under my arms. I think it also contributes to erectile dysfunction. I spoke to my cardiologist about all this today, and he's cutting my dose in half. I'm hoping some of these side effects will diminish when I cut down to 25mg twice a day."


"I have been Junel 1/20 for about 5/6 months now for ovarian cysts. I have dealt with severe cramping for years and this has definitely decreased the pain. However, despite the pros there are some cons. One being my breasts hurt full time and have gotten bigger, and lots of fluid retention (especially in my lower abdomen and thighs). Don't like the feeling of being swollen everywhere, makes me so I can't fit in my clothes some of the time. I just deal with it because it's better than the cramps I was having lol"


"this has been a miracle for me i used to weigh 270 and now i weigh 125. you have to exercise and eat the right foods and you will see results"


"Update to Original post....

I was taking my Mirtazapine 45mg in the morning, because I didn't feel the sedation at night. However, after talking with my husband, we agreed that taking it at night as prescribed will give me the best results. I started 2 nights ago with my evening dose. I took it earlier in the evening around 7p. By 11:00p I began to get sleepy. Not a KNOCKED OUT type of sleepy, but a good sleepy. Since then, I have gotten a full nights sleep and I wake refreshed. I then take my Welburtin 300 XL and I am ready for the day. I haven't notice a lot of daytime sleepiness either. That may be due to the WB. I really feel like this combo is going to do wonders for me."


"Started taking this medication about 2 months ago and it worked immediately. I usually average about one or two cystic acne breakouts a month along with smaller pimples that pop up here and there, but solodyn has kept my face clear throughout this whole time.

The only side effects I've noticed is increased tiredness in the evening and minor migraines, but this is a payoff I'm willing to make for healthy skin!"


"I've been taking glipizide for two weeks.  It is effective in lowering blood sugar and helps with post prandial spikes.  It works fast, sometimes too fast and has forced me to modify the timing and quantity of my meals."


"I started using Tasigna after an year of non working Gleevec. It has brought me to remission state. I am and my doctor are very happy. Yes rose comes with thorns. It has affected my hearing and I have redness and crusting around my head which turn into painful pimples. But still it is great drug which has brought me the cure."


"I'm 19 years old and started taking 50mg Vyvanse today, being diagnosed with ADD. So far today, i haven't any problems focusing and actually WANT to get my work done. It did take around 2 hours to start working, but there were no jitters. I never thought ADHD or ADD was a problem of mine, but it does run in my family."


"I'm 44 and have Osteoarthritis in both knees with  bakers cysts. Was  told due to my age to try this as opposed to more drastic measures.. First shot was about equivalent to getting a cortisone shot in my knees,  pressure but bearable uncomfort.   A little sore the next day, week 2 & 3 about he same. Now I did just get a cortisone shot 2 weeks before starting the Euflexxa but I figure now I am about 10% of the pain I was feeling prior. I hope it's the Euflexxa and not the. Cortisone masking it. Knees feel better every day and still pop here and there. But movement is dramatically better. 6 weeks since my first shot and I'm impressed and happy with my decision"


"I got the mirena inserted yesterday. I should have done the research before because after reading so many reviews, I may have passed and stayed on the pill.  The only reason I decided upon the IUD is because I trust my Dr. I have 2 children and still nursing my 11 month old. I am using this form of bc to prevent a 3rd pregnancy, at least until we are ready to make the decision. Being on the pill, it was too hard for me to remember to take it everyday. The only positive I can share is the actual use as a birth control.  The insertion was very painful. I wish I would have known about the possibility of anesthesia. The two Motrin 800's I took prior did nothing for me.
Day two and I am experiencing awful cramping.  No bleeding but pain."


"I was given this medication to help with the side effects of Chemo and radiation and it was ok the first day but as the days went on I began to feel irritated groggy and EXTREMELY restless but I was really tired like super tired. It kept me so drained that I slept for 22 hours! Almost all the side effects mentioned above (or below) I experienced them too. I will NEVER take this again! I rather be nauseous!!"


"My skin has improved a ton since using Solodyn. I've only been on it for a month but my neck has completely cleared up and my face has gotten 80% times better. My chest has cleared up some but still breaks out a little bit, but my back is pretty much the same just my breakouts aren't as big. I no longer get cysts on my face and if I do get a zit or two they clear up within 1-2 days! The only bad things I'd really have to say is that it doesn't help all that much with my blackheads. I still get redness from zits, and I get really tired now (which I kind of like because I'm a teenager and have issues going to sleep at night but it really doesn't help out in the middle of class when I'm too tired to focus). I would recommend this though."


"It's working. I haven't had any panic attacks since I started about 3-4 months ago, but my memory was bad before and still is bad. I've been getting constipated, decreased sexual desire and ability. I'm only 19. I have to fix that. I am always tired randomly and need a coffee. I can't stop yawning all the time. "


"I suffer from PTSD and the associated issues Anxiety and depression that is part of the package. Started a generic brand, This is the 3rd drug I have been on previously was on Lexapro, worked but caused a very emotionless state after 2 years.Then Valdoxan worked slowly, great for sleep,  then eventually levelled off after 2 years.

As for Cymbalta, the first 5 days wasn't fun, tired, anxious, negative thoughts, very spaced out couldn't drive, and Nausea. Then just as fast as the side effects came on they went over 48 hrs. Now just a week in feel better, more positive very little side effects slight nausea that is improving every day.

I'm confident that the drug will work and find myself looking forward to the future."


"Experienced no side effects from the drug and did not feel it was effective for appetite control or weight loss."


"Diagnosed at 18, went on until 28. I had a miserable existence for 10 years. 5 minutes after eating, I better be near a toilet. Gastroenterologists tested and tried so many different things with no success. Told my GI I was having a substantially lower quality of life with this problem. He prescribed me Welchol. The next day, I enjoyed my first meal in years and cried. Truly was a miracle pill for me."


"I recently started having problems in bedroom.I was diagnosed with low testosterone and decreased blood flow to penis. I was prescribed for daily use of 5 mg of Cialis for 30 days. Took it for first time and I got to say I was VERY impressed with the results. Instantly got an erection upon intercourse and lasted for 45 minutes. Only thing though felt kind of funny when I first took it but felt better after 30 minutes. Check with your doctor first if you are on any other medicines. I currently take blood pressure medication but it does not interact with it. I highly recommend this medicine."


"I went to the doctor because of a slight UTI yesterday .... I took one dose of the medicine last night and felt nauseous and developed the worst migraine, I felt it all in my face and neck.. I took extra strength Tylenol and went to sleep. I woke up this morning perfectly fine and it was time for my 2nd dose.. in less than an hour I was soooo nauseous and weak and it feels like I have a lump in my throat. This feeling keeps coming and going. I called off from work because I'm afraid if I start moving too much then I might pass out or throw up. I normally never get side effects from medication but this one is different.. I don't recommend it at all"


"I feel so much better now and find that compared to other AATD medicines, I feel better after this one is infused."


"Female 5'7" 179lbs I started Contrave on 5/7/17. I am going into week 3. As of now no significant weight loss. And my appetite is not as nearly diminished as I thought I would be. The first day it did I did not eat all day till dinner and even then it was a small portion. I drink water non stop, cut the soda, still allow myself one cup of coffee Mon-Fri. I do get a little nausea and slight headaches, but nothing to bad. I am someone who suffers from Migraines but this is pill is not adding to them at all.. So that I am thankful for, no depression or anxiety so that is a plus. I have cut my food in take and I am eating smaller portions. I do go to the gym 3 times a week. I have a friend that lost 60lbs over an 8 month period. So I am hopeful"


"I had mild ocd, mdd, stress, anxiety since childhood due to bad environment. Then I went on venlafaxine, nortriptyline. When I was on it, I did some terrible things like stealing without fear of getting caught, violent behavior, mind going blank, forgetfulness, apathy, sexual dysfunction. After 3 months I start to feel better mood wise."


"This medication worked wonders for me. It took a while (3 weeks maybe) for it to fully set in, and I went from suicidal thoughts and self harm attempts to actually being able to function in society. Wonderful antidepressant, no side effects, except that it is easier to become angry because this medication quickens emotional reaction time. I was put on Lamictal and Klonopin to help my anger and anxiety/paranoia/panic attacks that came with my depression and they have both been wonderful. I do not have any complaint except the anger issue. I will occasionally have a breakdown and have only self harmed twice since starting this medication. Would recommend to anyone suffering from depression."


"Diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis 5 years ago. Tried every narcotic, or non narcotic and never found relief. Naturally became addicted and took a year coming off of 100/micrgr fentenanyl patches. ( 3 every 24/hrs plus oxy 80 as breakthrough ) when I got low enough I took Suboxone to ease my withdrawals. Suboxone worked awesome and I stayed on 20/mg a day for two years, but the analgesic effect of Suboxone is low, and I switched to methadone last August. I love the incredible half life of methadone and its analgesic effects are great for chronic pain. I recommend this to anyone fighting the pain management battle."


"This drug definitely decreased my anxiety and depression A LOT. At first I started on 20 mg. I took it at night because they make me very drowsy. Three months later I was bumped up to 40 mg. I am extremely tired all day, everyday. The worst side effect for me is the weight gain. I work out 5 days a week and eat extremely well. This medicine has been packing 5 lbs on me a month average. Also, I am hungry (or at least my brain wants to eat) non-stop! I'm going off this medication because I talked to a nurse at my Dr. office who told me she gained 40 pounds on it. I'd recommend taking it IF you don't mind gaining weight, even regardless of exercise. I'm currently weening myself off of this medication after about 7 months on it."


"Age 36 I thought I had tried everything. Acne was not too bad but was tired of having constantly three or four spots around my jaw line and neck and forehead sometimes more. A doctor prescribed epiduo for me and also some tablets which I did not take.

Epiduo worked after about two weeks of initially dry skin and very dry eyes and now I hardly ever have to use it my skin is so much better. I never use it anywhere near my eyes but around my jawline two days in a row and any breakouts have gone. Brilliant but use sparingly and only on affected areas as it's very powerful and ease up to once every two days till you get used to it. I think there are different types of skins and different types of acne but it's worth a try in my opinion."


"I started having heat flashes just a few months ago.  My sleep has always been disrupted, but with the hot flashes sleep was impossible.   I just started taking one dose always day at bedtime.  Not only are the heat flashes completely gone, but I'm finally able to get the rest I need.  I do notice the dry mouth but it's not that much of an issue.  Thank you for this product.   I would highly recommend it."


"To be more effective Tinea versicolor has to be treated on the inside with the pills, and on the outside with the shampoo. The dermatologist informed me of this. "


"Had the implant a year exact and I've had nothing but problems since January. Severe headaches 21 pound gain in weight and nothing will shift it healthy eating and gym but no loose. And my skin is so bad. Hopefully having it taken out next week. Weight gain has got to me"


"Amitriptyline can cause weight gain."


"Love having only 4 periods a year. My only complaint was there was long spotting, about 8 days, for the first pack. And 3 days for the second. Love it otherwise."


"6 years ago I experienced severe pain caused by ovarian cyst and endometriosis. I eventually had my cyst out but after few months severe pain triggered. I was dying of pain most of the time, until such time I cannot tolerate. August 2008 I was given Lupron Depot. First month was a nightmare for me, I thought I was dying because of extreme bleeding. After that one month my body slowly progress. For three months I had a 3.75mg and after that I was having 11.25mg. I am so relieved that it made me live a normal life. I am pain free and for side effects fortunately not too the extreme. My last shot was done March and supposed to have it last June but due to unavailability of my specialist I am waiting for my next step. So far I am doing fine."


"I have age-related low T ( age 69). Turns back the clock to about 40 (mentally maybe 18. I see beautiful women everywhere.) Enables me to retain the active life I want for sports, sex and creative enthusiasm in my work. The procedure is briefly painful with an antibiotic shot on one side and anesthesia shot before the pellets. Some slight ache at the site for a few days and a small lump that owly disappears over 3-4 months. My very careful urologist repeats labs for T levels and PSA for safety and medical necessity before each repeat. Medicare covers only 6 pellets every 90 days. I pay $4-500 for an extra 4. Well worth it to me to get back the life I want."


"I started taking phentermine for 3 weeks now. I have had a really hard time trying to cut back my bad eating habits. I normally exercise anyways but I was eating to much and bad that I could not lose weight, and as soon as I started this pill I no longer had the lingering feeling of having to eat all the time. I have been taking this pill everyday and I have lost 12 pounds all ready!"


"I have been on this med for only 4 days after being on multiple other meds for general anxiety disorder for several years now. And I can already feel the difference in myself. Not exactly where I want to be yet but definitely positive results so far. It does make my pupils seriously dilated and at night when it's dark my vision seems like I'm on a merry go round if I moves my eyes to quickly. Other than that I feel much better than just a few days ago! Hopefully this med will work for me. I hate switching meds cause of the time I have to wait to start a new one. Sends me in a downward spiral of panic attacks and irritability. So far since being on Effexor EX I've not had even one episode!!!!!! And I was having them every single day!"


"This implant destroyed the last 4 months of my life. After having it inserted 6 months ago, at month two I started developing horrible, debilitating anxiety, sadness...mood swings. I lost a relationship that was very important to me because the anxiety made life unbearable. Doctor's testing results today show my hormones are really imbalanced - progesterone is extremely low. Why isn't this being taken off the market?"


"I have been on and off Strattera for last two years. Strangely enough besides some dry mouth and dizziness at the beginning I have no side effects at all. I went up on my dose to 75 now. The only problem is that it is hard for me to say if it works or not."


"Well I got my Mirena on new years eve, it wasn't that painful (I'm 18 never had kids) and I did it because the implant wasn't working for me. I don't regret my decision however, insertion was uncomfortable but nothing to worry about, the only issue for has been the heavy bleeding I'm still getting, which isn't nice. However it has removed the majority of the pain I was in, I just wish the bleeding would stop. Overall I find it a lot better than some other forms of contraception and you can barely feel the strings anymore."


"I am 49 years old and have eczema for most of my adult life. I would have severe flare up that would come and go. I never knew when waking up what my skin would look like due to scratching in my sleep. I started Dupixent in July with immediate results after the first dose. Itching was gone, 98% clear skin. My allergies as a result of taking this medicine have calmed down as well. I did notice that in the review people mentioned that they had problems with their eyes. I experienced this side too and almost stopped taking the medicine. When I spoke to my dermatologist he assured me that my body would get use to the medicine. Within a month my eye issue stopped. Dupixent has changed my life."


"Very very effective. Would recommend. Helpful medicine for psychosis and mania. Helps with delusions and paranoia and voices and all that comes with a psychotic episode. Only down side is a feeling of anxiety and having to move around and can't sit still for too long when on this med but it is a very effective medication."


"Had my colonoscopy on Thursday and the Suprep really did it's job.  I had never used this prep before so went to the site to read patient's reviews.  Have to say after reading many of them I wanted to change my mind.  Started my prep Wednesday late afternoon.  I did not find the taste unbearable--I have paid for drinks that taste worse.  I did chill the solution and mixed it with cold water. I finished it in about 5 gulps--sucking on a lemon wedge in between, the lemon takes the aftertaste away.  Finished the additional water in the next half hour.  I then walked around and it started to do it's thing in about 1/2 hour.  2nd dose finished up and was finished going in about 1 1/2 hours.  It did it's job!!"


"I had menisectomy back in 2011, after 2 years I started having bad pain under my knee cap and my lateral side of my knee. Doctor prescribed me Norco 5mg it had little effect so he switched to Percocet 5mg, feels good to sleep at night."


"Was prescribed Lisinopril for high blood pressure [Range 140/90-170/100]. Did not reduce blood pressure effectively after 1 month use. Side effects included dry cough on a daily basis and drowsy feeling. Went to the doctor after 4 weeks  and got a new prescription ."


"I've been on Sprintec for almost 2 full months now. I had some side effects the first month but nothing too unbearable just a little annoying. The first week I was really crampy but that could be because I was on my period due to taking the morning after pill a week before I started the Sprintec. It did make me really sensitive, I started crying over the littlest things but that seems to be gone this month. It also gave me a few pimples but nothing that wasn't manageable.  It also heightened my sex drive, which almost overwhelms my boyfriend. It was a little annoying at first, but it does it's job and it was free so no complaints here."


"I am 6 days into Sertraline 50mg for panic disorder and want to reassure anyone who is terrified of starting this drug because they've read about all the terrible side effects, just as I was. I am a 23yr old female suffering from this for 8 years. Various therapies have helped but I keep relapsing. Last week I gave in and spoke to my Dr about meds. The first night I panicked because I was so scared of the side effects, which turned out to be mild at worst. Insomnia the first night, day 2 mild headache + slight diarrhea, and slight nausea on day 3+4, also loss of appetite. Overall, it felt like a mild hangover. I have felt slight anxiety at times, but it subsides quickly and doesn't develop. I'm feeling calmer already not even a week in!"


"The Proctofoam works great for immediate relief, however you'll likely need to use it repeatedly. My husband struggled in misery and pain for years, so in addition I gave him White Oak Bark and within a half of bottle it had healed his Hemorrhoid issues. He never suffered from them again. I'd suggest both."


"I love the depo shot.. I've been on it for over two years now. I have had no period or spotting until about two years on it. I only spot about 4 weeks before my next shot and have had a little bleeding lately. Other than that I really love it. And no weight gain."


"Lyrica has helped my fibromyalgia more than I could have imagined! It also started working(for me) the day after I took it. I definitely recommend it!"


"Had the beginning of migraine on a night shift. Took 1 tablet and within 15 minutes I could function again, with none of the stated side effects"


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"My doctor prescribed Prepopik in preparation for my fourth colonoscopy; prior preps used were ducolax and magnesium citrate per my doctor's instructions which always worked well.  The prepopik did not and, in fact, I went through all of the steps to the "T", i.e., no solid food the day prior, first packet at 4 with five 8 oz. cups of water; second packet at 8 with three 8 oz cups of water. I thought the regimen worked but to my (and the doctor's) amazement, after the start of the colonoscopy too much stool was discovered in my body and the colonoscopy could not be performed. UNBELIEVABLE; and for this I paid $50 and my insurance company paid $52.  Would never recommend it."


"After 4 weeks PICC line daily I needed Gallbladder removal. I was supposed to do 8 weeks treatment. I ended up stopping at 4. Never completed treatment. I never felt better I felt terrible everyday I was sick vomiting, headache, body aches, weak. But most of that is normal other than vomiting and gallbladder. It was also a little inconvenient. But no Lyme is great. I never feel good at all I'm in a wheelchair now I'm not well anymore I don't know that I'll be well until I get remission and lot of physical therapy between now and then."


"I have been going through menopause for over 8 years now.  I have tried everything during that time.  Each medicine worked for a certain time frame, then it was no longer effective.  After reading a research study about the effects of Paxil to ease hot flashes I decided to give it a try.  Paxil knocked the severe flashes out while decreasing the frequency and severity of the flashes that still occur.  Also, Paxil calmed my stress/anxiety which also contributed to the decrease in frequency.  "


"Taking Vistaril to help me sleep. I work nights, it's particularly difficult to sleep. This med just helps me to doze off & stay asleep. There's no "drugged" feeling when I wake up. I do feel like it takes a little longer to get fully awake, but don't feel hung over like trazodone made me feel. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a very good non-narcotic sleep aid."


"Just quit Alesse after 4 months. I tried to tough it out but it just wasn't working. I was always hungry, then I would eat and feel constantly nautious and bloated. I had no energy and felt tired, always wanted to eat sweet stuff. Didn't really gain much weight, just water weight around my hips and boobs (those were constantly sore as well), such bad mood swings and depressed and anxious often. Got lots of headaches, acne got worse (cystic acne on my chin back and chest), and lower sex drive. This is my first day without birth control (period will start in a few days) and I can honestly say that I feel sooo much better, which is weird because Alesse is 'ultra low dose hormones'."


"I Love this medication!!! My blood sugar stayed down and I was able to loss 22 pounds in a yr. (doesn't sound like much but it is when your not meaning to loss weight) I only gave it a 9 because of the cost and the fact there aren't savings card that are worth anything. With my insurance and the savings card it was still costing me 200 to 400 a month. The savings card only helped a little."


"I've tried two different types of birth control pills, each for almost 8 months. I constantly forgot to take the pills, and it just didn't work for me. My doctor recommended I switched to the shot. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. 0/10 recommend from me. But then my doctor and I talked about other medications I can take, and it was between the IUD and the patch. Before agreeing to take the patch, I was told that it may fall off when I was in the water, and there may be side effects. When I started this, I had absolutely no side effects whatsoever. I soon skipped a week, and I messed up the patch cycle, but no side effects. I didn't think it would work, but I've been on this for almost 7 months, and I love it"


"Second time round having Chlamydia and very different experiences of both.

The first time I had no signs whatsoever, however I was told by a sexual partner they had it so I was tested and discovered I had it! The doctor gave me two 500g tablets of azithromycin. I was fine for about 8 hours and then suddenly couldn't stop running to the toilet. I have never had such bad diarrhoea.

Found out 2 weeks ago I have it again because I had so many of the symptoms displayed. This time I was given 4 250g azithromycin tablets. I was feeling quite worried about taking them because of how my body reacted to them last time. I took them before I went to bed and have had no side effects (12 hours later). I'd definitely advise this! Good luck."


"This medicine saved my life. Racing thoughts almost non-existent.  When they recur during times of stress, doctor ups dosage and immediately my mind quietens.  OCD is underlying cause of many compensatory disorders, including: depression, alcoholism and eating disorder.  With the OCD controlled, I have been able to take charge over the others."


"Viibryd has worked extremely well for me. I haven't taken any other antidepressants in the past.

One of my main concerns was the loss of sexual arousal. I'm in my early 20s and that scared me a little. I was informed Viibryd doesn't reduce your sexual arousal as much as others do.

My Psychiatrist did tell me this medicine is more expensive than other anti depressants right off the bat, even with my parents insurance plan.

I'd say one side effect of this medicine for me is that I need to take it every day. I notice a crash effect if I miss a day or take it later than I usually do in the morning.

For some reason the 30MG tablets were more expensive than the 40MG tablets."


"I have experienced anxiety and mild depression for several years. I finally decided to get help. Cymbalta has really helped. I noticed a change in the first couple days. My anxiety has all but disappeared. Experienced dry mouth and interrupted sleep the first several days. I have experienced tiredness but that has lessened over this month and I hope will go away all together."


"DO NOT TAKE THIS IF YOU HAVE ANXIETY OR A PANIC DISORDER. at first I loved the stuff. I had the drive to actually get out of bed and do stuff. I exercised often, lost weight, became more social. However, I suffer from anxiety and after awhile, the medication made it 1000x worse. I suffered panic attacks weekly. It's just not worth it for those who have anxiety."


"I was on every SSRI/SNRI possible. They all exacerbated my sleep problems. Remeron has given me my sleep back and virtually no anxiety! I highly recommend for people with anxiety and insomnia. Therapy also helped, it's not always just about taking a pill. I highly recommend  this and plan on never coming off!"


"do not take this stuff - you have been warned."


"This is my first yeast infection and I'm 18. My mom gets them too, not frequently, but enough to where she knows her meds. She told me not to use M1 but that I should use m3. I wanted to get this over with and just use the one day treatment but she warned me there was no way I was sleeping if I did, reading the reviews also convinced me not to. But even using M3 it's impossible to sleep, regardless of taking two Advil. I don't have any burning but just the most intense itching I've ever felt in my life. This is night 1 and I hope it gets better and not worse on the next two nights. After an hour and a half the itching let up a little. The less I move the less I feel it, either that or the Advil is kicking in. So far, I expected worse."


"I'm writing this because I feel like I had a weird experience with this BC. I used Nexplanon for 1 year and 7 months before cutting it out.
1st year and 2mos w/ Nexplanon: 24yo Female, perfect skin; absolutely no blemishes, let alone acne, ever, highly motivated, bodybuilder/overall healthy lifestyle, no periods or negative side effects

After 1y3mos with Nexplanon: Mood swings, overnight cystic bacne from my neck to my hips, craving fatty/sugary foods all the time, no motivation, weight gain. Tried spironolactone with a RX body wash and cream, but it didn't help the acne at all.

Almost 2months after removing Nexplanon: no depression/mood swings, motivated again, no more cravings, bacne almost entirely cleared up, feeling like myself!"


"Took one Lizness and 30 minutes later had massive cramping from my stomach and intestines. If I even took a sip of water it got worse. Rolled up in a ball crying all day, no one, not the doctor or pharmacy had any idea of how long it would last. Best guess was 24 hours. It stopped at 9pm for the most part and started at 5.30am. Today my entire body is sore to touch, bloated and horrible stomach ache. Can't eat anything. "


"I had unprotected sex three days before ovulation, and took this within four hours after having sex. After reading some of the reviews, I was a little wary of how well it would work. I ended up experiencing my normal ovulation symptoms as well, which made me even more worried as this pill is supposed to prevent ovulation. I didn't experience any side effects (no headaches, nausea, etc), but I did have some cramping that began about four days after I took it, and continued off and on for about a week. My period ended up coming today, which is three days before I expected it. Give it time and try not to worry!"


"My surgeon took charge of my Synthroid medicines - big mistake - it was not until I saw an endocrinologist that I found the correct dosage and felt better.  It took 18 months to find the correct dosage.  I now take 0.2mg Mon-Fri and add 0.05mg on the weekends.  This works for me.  I had many problems before I got the right dose, and my surgeon said they were not from the Synthroid - he was wrong.  I had extreme fatigue, sleeping 10 hours per night and 1 hour in the afternoons.  I had trouble remembering things, as well as the inability to concentrate.  I was off balance and frequently missed steps and curbs while walking.  As well as often feeling like I was going to black out or faint - never did.  With the correct dose everything is much better."


"Initially I had stomach pains, like period pains, then I got really bad PMT. When my husband asked if I wanted a cup of tea and my reaction was an extremely agressive 'why' I realised it was time to take out the ring. I thought I might be able to do a week on and a few days off but I got very sore within 36 hours of re insertion. I also put on weight which my osteopath says I can't afford to carry. I had a hysterectomy 20 years ago and now have vaginal atrophy, there seems no other treatment but I would not go back to this ever."


"My mom caught the cold I have just beaten and it affected her much worse. After consulting a doctor/friend she recommended trying Mucinex 12 hour. At around 7 PM,  she took to 600 mg tablets. She reported being awake all night with heart palpitations, jitters, and a  pounding headache. She also threw up in the middle the night and feels nauseous again this morning. The cough is coming back as the Mucinex wears off.  The drug worked  to stop the coughing but the side effects can be hard on some."


"I am 33 was tested and had low t my results were 39 which is extremely low.  I started on androgel 1.62 two pumps made me very aggressive and I would snap and get angry so I went to 1 pump in the morning my sex drive went through the roof :) . After 6 wks I was tested the results were 432 that was exciting I also gained 15pounds I use to weigh 140 now I'm staying between 150-156 I am stronger more energy can think better but I do have my days that suck it's all part of the test now not everyone is going to have results like mine so keep trying to find what it is that works also if your eating poorly that maybe the reason also try to eat healthy and workout"


"Took over a month for my numbers to begin coming down. Now, after 6 weeks, I'm lower than anything obtained on my previous meds, but still not down to 'normal'. Injections are not a problem. I've been giving my wife B-12 shots for years, so I know to not be timid about sticking the needle in. Does it hurt? Not really. Just a prick that's not any worse than the prick needed for using my meter. Did develop a few nodules that are slow about going away, but they are not sensitive or uncomfortable. No nausea and my appetite is similar to before. Don't like the cost but expect to stay with Bydureon."


"It's effective in no getting pregnant but my experience has been horrible I have a 7 month old and got this at the postpregnancy checkup ..It was okay at first...then I started to bleed it was light but changed and I as on my period for almost 3 months straight it stopped finally but then would start again very irregular ...it might be regulating but I get my period and it lasts almost a week and half on Christmas then gone but came back extremly heavy a couple of days into new years..on top of that I've been tired no sex drive and depression. .I get upset and cry and very insecure I get bad mood swings. I hate it. I have a doc appointment th e 23rd Jan to see a doc to get it removed or see my options !! BUT everyone is diff. This is just me"


"Tried it for about 9 months, easy in use but I don't think the amount of hormones that ends up in your body is any less than on the pill, not symptom wise at least. It works fine in general but if you have a sensitivity to hormonal bc don't expect it to be much better than other methods! I experienced a dramatic drop in libido and this was ultimately the main reason for me to stop but there were other side effects as nausea, some weight gain and it really irritated my urinary tract in the beginning too. I have switched to non hormonal bc now."


"I have tried and am presently using other pain medicine but have been able to reduce the dosages after taking Nabilone for only one week."


"I am writing this because reading this forum helped me to calm the fears swirling through my mind! I am on birth control and was 1 day away from taking my placebo pill but was scared of "what if". I had unprotected sex Friday night and Sat morning, I took Plan B Sunday morning about 32 hours after contact. I did not know much about my cycle and my doctor explained that on birth control I would not have ovulated so I could not have gotten pregnant. My period was late by 5 days but I was never so happy to see it after 5 negative pregnancy tests and one negative blood test. The pill will throw off your cycle so if you are late take a deep breath! Also lesson learned and bought my own condoms!"


"I have chronic back pain that started from a skydiving accident, and have been in pain ever since. I tried so many medications and nothing worked. When I got Oxycodone long acting and breakthrough   Flexeril my pain was reduced to 5/10. Come the evening, the pain got so bad that I needed to take more oxy.

I just got this patch on Monday (March 4/2013), on the 5 dose. It took about 3 days to become effective. I woke up on Wednesday, and had no pain. I thought it was just a coincidence. Thursday comes, Friday, and still pain free. I actually stopped taking my long acting Oxycodone today. So I will see how the next few days will  be once the medicine is out of my system. But I'm sure everything will still be pain free. I love this PATCH!!"


Acetaminophen / dexbrompheniramine / pseudoephedrine

"I have used Drixoral for years and it is the only one I really get relief from.  I am very upset it is not on the market."


"My experience was horrible side effects it didn't help my pain much and certainly didn't shrink my endometriosis. 1 got my last 2 months in 2001 now since 2010 I have suffered severe pain in my joints and bones.  I wouldn't recommend this drug  to any endo girls."


"No side effects at all; Actually felt better afterwards.. More energy"


"The mirena is amazing. I've had it in for almost 6 months now. I had some heavy bleeding in the beginning bc I never had a child before and my body naturally pushed the mirena out. I went back to my doctor and they put a new one in and this time its stayed in. After the second placement I had heavy bleeding for the first month. After that I had no bleeding at all. I haven't had my period in 3 and a half months. I do get light period every now and again but its never heavy enough to have to use a pad or tampon. All you need is a panty liner and you'll be good to go. If you have the mirena put in and start bleeding soon after make sure you don't use tampons bc this can likely pull the mirena out and that would hurt. Its amazing!"


"I am 59 and it got to the point that I was avoiding sex.  I had pain with intercourse and had to use lubricant all the time.  I use 4mg once a week and am enjoying sex for the first time in years."


"My physician prescribed me 20mg of paxil daily when I saw her for anxiety/depression.

The first couple of days I had trouble sleeping and had a lot of energy, but no anxiety.  This drug definitely reduced my anxiety and I felt more sociable, but after a month or so I noticed that I couldn't focus and I started to lose motivation to do anything and had no energy.  I felt more depressed than before I had started the medication, and on my days off from work I would end up sleeping all day.

Quit cold turkey whike taking 5-htp and experienced the brain zaps for a couple days, but now I feel like myself again.   I can't recommend this med.  I think exercise and good diet are more effective at improving my mood."


"This medicine has helped me feel less pain, was very good in the beginning, however the sweating was okay at first but as time went on the sweating began earlier and lasted longer everyday. Finally, I was sweating profusely two hours in the morning and then again in the afternoon. My clothes were drenched along with wet hair, dripping in my face etc.  I stopped for 3 days and the sweating stopped, however the pain came back. I have decided to continue taking Savella and put up with the sweating but wish there was a pill for that side effect."


"Thank you all for the heads up on %u2018taking the medication with food!%u2019 My bottle didn%u2019t come with that label and the Avelox along with the side-effects has been many and terrible on my stomach, head and body.  I am on day 9 of 15 day dose for sinusitis (and previously had pneumonia) %u2026and wasn%u2019t aware of the numerous side effects until now.  Was about to quit taking the med due to the long list of brutal adverse reactions, yet will implement the %u2018eat before taking%u2019 concept and hope to triumph through, as they have made a huge difference in my upper and lower respiratory issues.  And with any luck there will be no after affects of the side-effects!"


"I have difficulty falling and staying alseep. Rozerem actually increased the time it takes me to fall asleep from about 3 hours to 6 hours."


"I've taken Vicodin for 12 years for severe migraines and endometriosis and back and neck pain from a car accident. I take 3 per day and it allows me to hold a full time job, without it I don't function due to pain or stand straight even. Prior to that I was fired from jobs due to constant calling in due to pain from all my problems. I am not addicted at only 3 per day but if people are pain-free they will be happier, hold full time jobs, interact with spouse via saving their marriage, also interacting with their children via having better well rounded kids who have a loving outgoing parent or parents, many benefits to this pill. I claim it to be a MIRACLE pill. Doctors have tried me on everything known to man, this is only thing that works."


"I have severe muscle spasms due to anxiety and these stop them and also relax my muscles making me less nervous. After 20 mg I'm good to go."


"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."


"I was taking 300MG of this medication for almost 1 year. I stopped taking it for about 4 months because I wanted to see how I would feel being medication free. I faced withdrawal symptoms for 1-2 weeks after suddenly quitting from 300MG to nothing. The withdrawal symptoms weren't severe at all. During the time when I was on it, I had peace of mind. I can't describe the experience other than I felt so good that I have decided to start taking it once more. I suffered from Social Anxiety, OCD, and extreme depression."


"I started taking Phentermine January 16, 2014 after 4 years of not losing and only gaining.  Starting weight 238lbs, Current weight 192lbs.  Very excited about the changes.  Dr said I would eventually plateau and he would take me off.  Some minor side effects but overall very happy.  Definitely some more weight to lose but this gave me the encouragement I needed."


"I have been on saxenda since October. I weighed in at 215 prior and am now 182.8 pounds (I'm 5'7"). I take a lot of medication to help with chronic depression and tied in with major life events and poor eating I was more and more miserable with my weight that I gained in two years, mostly after my surgery for endometriosis (stage 4) and taking Lupron depo (horrid stuff) I just couldn't shake the weight.  I started this a bit nervous I kept a low dose for awhile, around 1.8 because I had stomach upset but I did take it at night to help with that. I ended up taking the full dose but found 2.4 is more then enough to suppress my appetite. It's amazing I don't think about food and need less to feel satisfied. love it!!!"


"I have been taking Microgestin for almost 4 years and I have an appointment at my OB tomorrow to get it switched. My menstrual cycle has always been off. Therefore, I was put on Microgestin in hopes for proper regulation with a lower dose. In the beginning, I didn't notice many side effects. Now, four years later, I can't get off this fast enough. I gained a lot of weight, I'm constantly negative, moody, and my emotions are all over the place. I've never had problems with vision before, now I'm wearing glasses and my vision is slowly getting worse. My anxiety levels are through the roof and I have such a loss in sex drive. It has been terrible and I'm really hoping that I find a new birth control that works for me."


"It opens your airways"


"I had the nexplanon in my arm for the whole 3 years. It has been an emotional roller coaster for me. The worst side effects for me were the hormonal changes! I was very mean and bitchy to everyone. People around me definitely noticed the changes. My periods were HEAVY & lasted a full 7 days if not longer. I would have to use tampons & pads together. I would go through a whole box each month. It made me gain weight & no matter how clean I ate or how hard I worked out the weight would not go away. I also suffered from depression & slight acne. Ladies PLEASE pay attention to your bodies when getting this birth control. It has been a rough 3 years but since my removal I have felt so much better!"


"Works very well.  Some slight scarring."


"Dexamethasone caused mooning face, rash, sweats, aggression, anxiety, insomnia, weight gain, extreme dizziness, moodiness, swollen and numb lips and eyes and on and on. "


"My lover and I had unprotected sex on 12/26 when afterwards I realized I was at my prime ovulation time (Day 13 of my cycle; I have a 26 day cycle). As it was Saturday evening I couldn't get plan B that night. The next day 12/27 was a Sunday so all the pharmacies were closed. By the time I got my Plan B it was already Monday late afternoon and almost 48 hours after sex. I took it immediately and felt nothing at all, no nausea, no vomiting, no diarrhea, nothing...except I was very tired and Monday night slept for close to 12 hours. What followed was 2 full weeks of pure stress. Imagine how happy I was when I got my period on my scheduled date! So relax, girls, if you take plan B according to its instructions it will work."


"I was prescribed the dissolving version of this by an emergency room doctor after severe nausea due to gastroparesis 2 years ago, I remember it helping really well. Then one week ago, I went to the hospital again for the same reason, they prescribed the same thing, while it definitely helps, the nausea doesn't entirely go away"


"I was sceptical at first but I am very glad I tried it for my back pain. Soma provides much better relief than NSAIDs or narcotics AND without their nasty side effects."


"I am a 65 year old male and was given meloxicam for pain in my hands.The med did not reduce my pain for awhile. I had taken for more than 4 months.and noticed that my skin would bruise easily. any cuts on my body would take a long time to heal. I am not diabetic. When my rectum started bleeding,I was told to use an over counter laxative. which helped I just thought I was getting older and this was to be expected. I then read about side-effects and decided to quit taking meloxicam. within a couple of weeks my cuts and bruises healed up. The pain in my hands is coming back, but the side effects were worse for me. I read other peoples comments on line and they seem to love this med.Everyone is different. If it works for you , Great"


"I have only been using it for a week, but have not noticed side effects. That's the good part. The doctor told me to give it a few weeks to take effect. I feel a little less anxious than I had been. I have been taking Zoloft for over ten years. Maybe I've become too immune and that isn't working quite the same. Hopefully the two meds together will do the trick."


"Zoloft is wonderful, this antidepressant has made me feel so lucid for the past 9 months. It's helped me fight social anxiety, and anxious depressions after I had a neurotic breakdown, and had to be admitted to a hospital. This medicine has made things so clear for me, I absolutely love my life now! Recently I had not been taking it for about 6 days, DO NOT DO. It completely drained me.. but I continued taking it and the side affects dispersed completely after 3 days of taking 150 mg again. Zoloft has completely leveled out my S.a.d., g.a.d, and major depression. No, it did not work immediately, but it totally works in the long run and waiting for it to take affect. Zoloft you've truly helped me become lucid in my consciousness :)."


"I was on this birth control for a year and then I was switched to a different one without me wanting to be. The first thing I notice was the tiredness. I was completely exhausted all the time. I never really had acne breakouts while I was on it. However, I did have my first yeast infection and reoccurring bacterial vaginosis while I was on it. I have no idea if it caused it or not but I think it’s plausible since I’ve never had either infection until starting bc. All in all I would much rather go back on it as I suffered very minimal side effects from it."


"I've had migraines since I was 25 (am now 68) and my life was hell until I discovered Topomax 18 months ago. I must be one of the lucky ones because I didn't have any horrible side effects, just some mild finger tingling. I lost a little appetite but made no difference (I'm slim anyway and probably lost 5 pounds), otherwise... it has been a miracle!! I started with 25mg, increased to 50, then to 100, didn't like it, went back to 50 and am now on 25 again and feel great. Sometimes I also take the generic and have no problem at all."


"I was on paragard for a year because of the no hormones,but I couldn't deal with the pain.The cramps were unbareable,and my periods lasted 7  days and were so heavy,Id have to use a super tampon PLUS a large pad .I switched to mirena, hearing the pain was a lot less & could shorten periods. Almost a year later,I haven't gained a pound like I was so afraid of because of hormones.I've even been able to lose a few pounds! My period has also gone from heavy and 7 days long to 3 days and so light I only use panty liners; I don't even buy tampons. Negative parts: Ive gotten a few more zits every time my period comes around after being on mirena & still get horrible cramps, but definitely not as often: 1/2 days instead of weeks at a time. love it!"


"Taking 10mg of Zyprexa for lst month. Has calmed me but weight gain and night sweats are the downsides."


"Have been feeling backed up. I'm a big guy so I took 4 pills about 7:45 this evening. After reading these testimonials, I now realize I have made a mistake."


"Had the three shots of Synvisc and experienced no relief from knee osteoarthritis."


"Was going in for a heart Cath, put on repatha because I can't take statins. Dose 1, some diarrhea, mild back pain and feeling like a kidney stone was trying to move. Dose 2, same feeling as dose 1, seemed a bit worse, wrist, knees and ankles slightly swollen.  Dose 3,  Two hours after injection,  felt like my teeth were 3 inches tall , lost the use of my legs for 5 hours, joints ache and low back pain,  7 on pain scale, 3 days later, upper right quadrant pain, muscle spasms,  hurt to walk, knees and feet felt like they were on fire. Nipples are painful, short of breath and can't get enough sleep, tired all the time.  Been to ER, advised to discontinue repatha. Been 45 days, still having severe back pain and very short of breath,"


"I have been on Tenormin for about 4 years. It certainly has taken care of the heart palpitations. I do not take any caffeine. But other side-effects have occurred: asthma has gotten worse,  I get winded after running only one and a half mile, more often than not, I feel tired, my hair is thinning, I have esophageal spasms, which I have read that Tenormin may induce upper GI problems. I am going off the medication to see if it makes a difference. I exercise regularly, and 7 years ago, my Doctor suggested I take Beta-Blockers, which I wasn't keen on, but since I exercise, he said it wasn't that imperative that I take it. So I'd rather run regularly, and efficiently and be off it."


"I suffered with chronic pain for 10 years. Used fentynal pain patches and codeine number 4. Did very well until the heat and my hormones made the patch secrete crazy ways, making me sick for about 9 months. I wanted off these patches and was referred to great doctors, and started the Subutex 8 mg and have been a new person since it began. I did have to increase one half pill after about 6 months, does your body get used to the Subutex, or is my body changing? I'm also menopausal, depressed and Subutex seems to help with these issues also.  "


"I've been taking this for 3 years. I do not get a period, which is wonderful.  I do still experience slight mood swings and some hormonal acne."


"Added 1 mg to my Effexor 150 mg for depression and anxiety. This is helping but have major joint and body aches with weight gain and stomach bloating. Also OCD is worse   Don't know if can stay on this due to these side effects. "


"I've been taking Desogen for a month now and my breasts have gotten a bit bigger and my skin has never been more clear, but I am a tad bit more emotional and it does occasionally make me vomit."


"Lantus did not work for me at all. Along with not working, it actually raised glucose readings from 12 to 16 by taking 14 units of Lantus. Weight gain was terrible and night time sweating turned the bed into a pool by midnight."


"Tessalon Perles have slightly helped in reducing the severity of the cough and lowered the number of times (1 X a minute to 1 or two times in 2 to 3 hrs.)"


"Its awesome .... Lessened my problems upto 70℅"


"I gained about 35 pounds from Implanon and couldn't seem to lose the weight after I got it removed. I tried for almost a year with absolutely no results until my doctor prescribed me phentermine. This is the first time in over a year in seeing the number on the scale go down!!! I'm still on my first week, so I'll post again once I'm done with this medication. I highly recommend and the only downfall is sleeplessness at night but I just take some supplements to help with that."


"This is day 4 for me and I have to say I get full so fast and I have no cravings. My first day I felt a little nausea and very tired. Other then that so far so good!"


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"I took the first pill this morning. This is the first time in years that I didn't fall asleep in church! I can't wait to go to school Monday morning to see if I get sleepy and doze off in class. Provigil could be one of the best things that ever happened to me!"


"I am one week out from my third series (both knees) of Euflexxa injections and so far so good. More than forty years of competing and instructing taekwondo wore my cartilage away (I've also had both hips replaced) and I faced some challenging days. Since Euflexxa was introduced by my pain management doctor, I have begun trusting my legs again. There is less pain most days. Of course, none of us know how long the relief will last but I am happy with my experience to date. The treatments -- my first injection also contained cortisone -- were not all that bad. Good luck to all."


"i never knew what it meant to be manic until i started taking Zoloft.  My OCD got worse and I was so jittery, yet felt so high on life nothing could stop me."


"After getting used to the medicine, which took a couple of weeks of confusion, I began to realize my problems with 35 years of depression, especially bad in the last five years, went away like magic!  My focus also improved.  I cannot tell you how good it feels not to go to those deep, dark thoughts, lack of motivation, and an "I don't care" attitude.  Being able to stay present in a pleasant world I had missed for so long is a wonder, and I had no idea it treated depression.  The only problem I have with it is, it makes the muscles in my legs, both above and below the knees, to hurt quite a bit.  If the makers ever go back to tinkering with its chemistry, stopping the pain would be smart,  with a super-low start dose recommended."


"I have had Hep C for 35 plus years. Just finished my first bottle of 28 pills of Harvoni. Just got my first blood work back viral load dropped from almost 9 million down to just 300. No real side effects and have been riding my bike as before over 200 miles per week , maybe just a bit slower. Will follow up next month."


"I have been on Tamoxifen for about a year now. I have the hot flashes and the sweats, and oh yes the mood swings, but now I'm experiencing severe temporomandibular joint pain (TMJ). I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem on this medication. If so what did you do to make it go away. 2 weeks of this condition is 2 weeks to long. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much for any suggestions you may have."


"I started taking Adipex on Thursday July 28th 2011 and today is Tuesday August 2, 2011 and I have lost 13 pounds. It does dry out my mouth very much but it is worth the weight loss because it makes me drink water so I stay hydrated. But I do also have a lot of energy and it carves my appetite. At first I didn't want to eat at all but now I do just not as much. "


"This is a miracle pill. It has helped with everything
And I don't have am appetite hardly at all now. But after 3 weeks of being on 50 mg it stopped working until around 3 in the afternoon and I feel very tired. Doctor is supposed to hopefully up my dosage. But it really is the best and gives me a happy good energetic mood. Better then Adderall."


"Vyvanse has been a fantastic medication. It is far better than other medications that I have tried. It last all day and when you take the right dose you don't notice it kicking in and you don't notice it when it wears out. I take it first thing in the morning at 5-6. I was taking 20 mg and that seemed to work well. I am currently on a two week trial with 30 mg to see if this works better. This is a medication where it works best when you find the sweet spot. Just because you don't notice an initial buzz does not mean it does not work. The other very important factor is caffeine . This should be keep to a minimum as the combination will light you up . If you feel anxiety, don't have any coffee, you will. See a real change. (:"


"I started taking this medication about a year ago. To be honest the first 2 months were OKAY no intense breakouts. But once months 3-4 hit, I experienced the worst breakout of my life!! Painful cysts on my cheeks and around my mouth. I made it through that rough patch and now my skin is incredible. Minor small pimples here and there but my skin is 100% better than what it was before. The down side is that I have gained about 10 pounds around my hips and lower stomach"


"I could tell it was working within 24 hours of taking it. Just be sure to eat with every dose, it's hard on the stomach!"


"I was reading all the reviews on Trulicity and got a bit worried with all the getting sick, cancer, and the not working comments.
I have been on Trulicity now for three weeks and have not felt any of the symptoms.  I noticed I can not eat like I used to.  I have to eat smaller meals because I get full fast.  My sugar numbers have gotten low, they are at 91 to 117.  My numbers have not been this low in a few years.  The one thing I do have to do is constantly test my sugars because I get low readings.  Lets see how I feel after taking Trulicity for a few months.

I will keep you posted."


"I have had this for about a month now. I started while on my period and just started slightly spotting. I have been fine (no cramps, not tired, no weight gain, etc.). I did notice the day before I started spotting I felt BLAH. I felt like crying the whole day but The next day I started spotting and my mood was back to normal. I would give it more than just a month. They tell you that people react differently to each method and that some people will have a period on and off for up to 6 months. The insertion of it wasn't as bad as I thought. As others have said the most painful part was when they put the numbing medicine in and then if you bump it while its bruise, its still kind of tender for about a week after. Overall GREAT so far."


"Effectiveness: Ok, this stuff really works. No cramping - just a liquid colon blow experience.

Tips: Chill the bottles . Hold your nose and drink it quickly to get it over with . Wish I had read about biting into lemons and using lemonade to flavor it. Drinking with a straw sounds like it worked for  many on here,  but I just chugged it . And lastly but most importantly, pat , don't wipe. Better yet, use moistened wipes!

The Bad News: Tastes so horrible and the thick texture is pure disgusting torture. I was nauseous for about an hour after drinking this vile stuff.

Hoping something new is invented before I need another screening!"


"A total turn around! I feel like a new person. It's been a long road. I lost my husband of 36yrs, 3 1/2 yrs ago. I had just been surviving; not living. My dr. gave me samples and explained how this medicine works."


"I've suffered with heavy periods for the past couple of years. I wanted to make sure that I considered all options before choosing surgery. This medication is great, but has some side effects. For me, I have headaches and diarrhea while on this medication and a few days after my cycle has ended. I also found that my cycle last longer when I take this medication. At this point, I've opted to contend with 2 days of heavy bleeding and with a cycle that last 4-5 days, as opposed to taking the medication with extended periods, headaches and diarrhea; that could last 8-9 days. The plus/pro of the medication is that my periods are lighter when I am taking the medication, however it stays on much longer."


"Just started taking Osphena after fighting with insurance for almost 3 years to allow it to be covered. (cash price $204 .00) After 3 days use I have noticed an increase of natural vaginal lubricant.  I can't wait to start having a sex life again with my husband!  Looking forward to the promises and not to worried about the side effects.  Thank You Osphena for bringing us back to life!"


"This birth control pill has it's advantages in the fact that it gives you a very predictable period, and that's it.

The side effects outweigh the benefits. I started getting acne at 23 when I hadn't had it for years, my skin became oily, I started getting headaches that persisted all day, my appetite increased, my sleep was disrupted, and I became depressed.

The depression is the worst part. I would wake up and be horribly angry or depressed, without cause.

I'm switching back to my old birth control."


"I have been battling gout for decades, my sawbones prescribed Diclofenac for when I have a flare up.  However, I'm also a hardcore weightlifter.  Often I'm so sore that I can hardly move.  I take one of these and it's like a miracle pill, pain goes away.  I don't take them often, but when I do...it works BIG TIME!"


"Made me sleep great."


"Brought my A1C's down, as well as weight loss gradually."


"I have a different experience then I'm reading here I've completed 10 days and haven't lost anything in fact I gained a pound I had previously lost."


"I wanted this medication to work because I often forget to take my second generic adderral dose on time. However, Mydayis is not the wonder drug I wanted it to be. It takes up to 2 hours to kick in (something they hide in the facts) and even though I "worked" this drawback by waking up earlier to take it there wasn't enough positives to keep me taking it past week four. It lasted about 6 hours before it quickly declined and leaving me with even worse ADD symptoms. It was so bad I couldn't have a conversation or focus enough to make dinner without skipping into laundry, cleaning, or some other distractions. Without the use of any medication I have never had symptoms this bad. If this wasn't bad enough I had horrible nausea and indigestion."

"Was just diagnosed at the beginning of July 2013.  Was hospitalized with PCP pneumonia.  My initial counts were CD4 8, and Viral Load 600,000.  After some antibiotics, my VL dropped to 350,000 before starting treatment.  As of my last test, I had only been on treatment for about 10 days.  CD4 up to 72 and VL down to 215.  No side effects and I'm grateful to have this medication available to me."


"Amazing rapid turn around. I too am singing after many years, well worth a try."


"I have been on this medication for about 2 months now. Started this medication for depression and had the pleasant side effect of appetite suppression for me. I didn't notice anything during the first month of use but during this second month I have noticed not being as hungry as well as eating smaller portions. I have also lost 10lbs in the last month and have more energy. I have had no major side effects but do have an occasional headache but Tylenol generally helps that!"


"I tried this for insomnia after trying many different medications. It does work great for helping you fall asleep and staying asleep, but it does have side effects. Being a hypnotic it does cause you to do things in your sleep you might not remember when you wake up. For example: After taking it one night, I woke up the next morning to find myself soaking wet. I had a bottle of water on my chest. I had poured the water all over myself during the night and had no memory of it. This is just me though, some people have no problems with this medication. Overall, it works great for helping you fall asleep."


"Male 56. I started taking Cozaar just 4 days ago, to add to my current regiment of diuretic and betablocker, as my BP was climbing.  After only 4 days taking it, my BP went from 170/102 down to 129/69, and I am only on a 25 mg dose; smaller than even what the manufacturer recommends.

This med works.....and fast.   NO side effects for me."
