"This was the best option for me. I'm terrible at remembering to take pills. I've had the Implanon for 30 months and for the first 6 months my periods were regular for me. Then for the next 23 months I had no period. Then this last month, I've had four periods. First two were a few days on a few days off. The the third one was 8 days and I'm currently on day 3 of the 4th one.
No pregnancies
Some mood swings
Minimal sex drive
No weight gain
I also didn't take any other medications while I've been on it, except for the occasional Tylenol for minor headaches."


"Been on it for 2 years now I love it. Helped me lose weight. When I was on Depo I weighed 145 now I am down to 129. No spotting no complaints, 4 periods a year, what could be better."


"I was given this medication for pain after suffering from two herniated disks.  The medication worked great, but I did not know how good until my doctor took me off of it and my pain returned to its debilitated state."


"My feelings of depression were actually amplified by this."


"I was put on Biaxin because of an inner ear infection. I'm on my fourth day of taking this medication. Sure there were some side effects but it worked. I couldn't hear out of my left ear for almost 3 weeks and on day four of taking this med I'm seeing results. The results outweigh the side  effects that's for sure.  I didn't think anything would work so I'm very pleased that Biaxin did!"


"It is very help"


"I am on my 3rd week of taking Paxil.  The first week was difficult as my side effects were nervousness (which makes you think you are having an anxiety attack) and sleepiness.  After about 4 or 5 days I started feeling better and better.  I have only had 1 very small attack since being on it.  I feel SO much better and happier.  I finally feel like myself again. Good luck to all of you!"


Pinworm Infection (Enterobius vermicularis)

"Does not work. You need another type of medicine on prescription "


"I'm eighteen, and I've had bad acne for all of my life; constant zits around my mouth, on my chin and forehead, and lots of blackheads on my nose, and my skin type was really frustrating; oily and greasy, yet dry all the time. Wash your face with water as hot as you can stand it for a while, or try steaming it, then slap some of the Lady Soma "Antioxidant Berry Masque"; it's incredible.

It will dry on your skin;  then wash it off.  If you have red irritating pimples, you'll notice a change overnight; and if you use it every night, your skin will rock. The cool thing is, Accutane also shrinks and minimizes the little pocks that zits leave in your face; I used to have them really bad under my eyes, they're almost non-existant now."


"I have been on 20mg for about 6 years. Some annoying side effects as itching back, and feet, muscle spasms, tingling but could pretty much handle them. Then went to the 40mg. Not good. For a few months was okay but then the severe heart palpitations, Tingling in head and face, muscle spasms that would would wake me up. Neuro said was not meds and kept giving me something for anxiety. Nothing helped so I figured it was me and would have to live with it. Decided to go off and see if that helped. Has been a week and a half and I feel the symptoms fading away already.  Don't know if I will go back to 20mg or just stay off of it.  I can't live with the harsh side effects of the 40mg."


"I took this medicine for 6 years and it helped my depression. Allergies became much worse over time and I assumed it was just seasonal or food allergy. Suffered a lot with allergies over the 6 years I was on Cymbalta and was unable to do much of anything even though I have 4 school aged kids. When my Doctor recently increased dosage, my allergies went haywire..... prickly feeling in fingers arms back, itchy nose, throat and private region. Because the allergies came on slowly, I didn't realize it was Cymbalta causing the problem. I really suffered with this and would hate for another to do the same. If you have weird allergy like symptoms, check the Cymbalta. It helped my depression, but I still was not able to live comfortably because of the reaction."


"I'm 22, I have very sensitive skin and stomach. I started this pill in September and it's now mid-December. The first month I had nausea, the second month I had various digestive issues (slightly worse than usual), and now in the 3rd full month, I am having breakouts. The nausea and the stomach issues have cleared up so I'm holding out for the acne to clear up. Meanwhile, my breasts have grown two inches! The side effects aren't so bad and the acne I have now isn't much worse than what I had before. Some people say they've experienced mood swings, depression, or change in sex drive but I haven't noticed that at all."


"Make sure that you do not do anything where you need your balance, this medicine causes DIZZINESS. "


"I am 19 years old and have been taking Tri-Sprintec for about a 1.5 years.  Haven't got pregnant thus far.  So I'd say its working wonders!  I know that on my last week on my birth control my period will come on a Tuesday to Wednesday.  It is so nice to know that I don't have to worry when my period will come.  I didn't have any complications my first few months taking it. Have never had weight gain.  A week before my period I do develop breast tenderness. About the only downside to it."


"My daughter is 4 and started having seizures 9 months ago. She has been on Keppra since then. Overall it has worked to control but not completely prevent her seizures. It has stopped them from spreading to her whole body but she still has them in her face about once a month even though her dose has been increased several times and she is now taking 7 mls twice a day. The side effects now are not as bad as when she first started this medicine. Since she has been on it however she has not had as good of an appetite and some days she wont eat at all. Her sleeping habits have been irregular as well. Some times she freaks out and starts biting anything she can. She doesn't talk so she can't tell me how she feels."


"I have constipation all the time due to pain medication that I take daily.  Every couple of weeks I wake up on Sunday morning and down a bottle of magnesium citrate.  Within an hour everything in my bowels is liquefied and problem is solved.  I don't suggest leaving home for a few hours after doing this though because you and your toilet will become very friendly."


"Did not work for my minimal OA! I was left with Orthovisc as my only alternative after my insurance company decided they would no longer cover Euflexxa which I used with great success for 4 years. I will now have to pay almost $1000 out of pocket for the better product, such a shame! Orthovisc gave me no relief at all; The Euflexxa I was getting 18 months on continuous relief."


"Mirena has worked great for me. I got it shortly after my first child. I had it for three years and almost immediately my periods got lighter and eventually I didn't have them anymore. I never had trouble with it."


"I was suffering from severe depression to the brink I was suicidal, finally I sought help and was perscribed lexapro. I felt very nauseous soon after and within a few hours I was in the height of terrifying panic  so much so I begged to be locked up because I was so scared, horrendous hallucinations and I felt like my skin was on fire. I suffered vomiting and diarrhoea for 3 days and basically hid in my room for a number of weeks after.  This was from taking one tablet and have since been diagnosed with GAD which I did not have before.  I'm currently trying reiki yoga counselling and meditation and know I need extta help but I have such a fear after that reaction I don't think I could survive another episode.  Never again"


"250mg once every 12hrs didn't do much for pain in ER formulation for me but the 50mg worked quite well as a breakthrough pain medication when combined with 2/3 my typical dosage of Oxycontin.  I found that pain relief duration at 50mg was about 4hrs.  I believe that the ER formulation starts at 100mg and higher.  I am lethargic on Nucynta ER at the 250mg 2x a day dose compared to Oxycontin 30mg 3x daily."


"I've been on Loestrin 24 for about a month and one week, and I went from 112 to 117 and my breats went from a C cup to a D cup! The breats I suppose I don't mind too much but I absolutley cannot stand the weight gain. I'm a cheerleader and I'm a flyer (the one who goes in the air) so I'm unhappy with that. I've also had some random spotting."


"My migraines seem to have increased in intensity."


"No side efects as of yet (taken for 4 weeks so far) only taken while on high doses of steroids (80mg daily but deceasing 10mg every 3 days.  Keeping my BP in my normal range of 110/60."


"I have been on Keppra for about 15 yrs. I received my Epilepsy from a bad car accident when I was young. I received my first Epileptic Seizure when I was 27 yrs old. I have tried every single seizure med made for the severity of my Grand Mal seizures. I now take 5- 500mg pills plus 3- 100mg caps of Dilantin. That is 300 mg shy of brain surgery. I am at piece w/ myself. I know what I have tried, what worked and what didn't. My seizures are extreme. I keep my blood level Therapeutic and have fewer seizures so I know it is working. I still get Grand Mal seizures, just not as many. That proves to me it works. That is all I care about, ME!"


"Makes me tired and dizzy,  I can not breastfeed my son. Do not like this I'd rather take xanax"


"I am 18 and just switched to Loestrin 24 a month and a half ago.  I was on Tri Sprintec for about 2 years, my periods were 7 days long and I was sick of it.  So I have taken a pack and a half of Loestrin 24 and all was good until 2 weeks in and I started spotting and got my period. I have now been spotting for a whole month on and off.  It is pretty annoying but not a big deal.  I have read a lot of these comments and a lot of women have had this happen for about 3 months, uhg! My sex drive has increased significantly and I have been climaxing very quickly.  Other than the random spotting for a month I have nothing bad to say about this pill. No weight gain, no increase in acne, no sick feeling or anything, hopefully the spotting stops soon!"


"Lisinopril has worked great for me. My blood pressure was running 140/90 now that I take Lisinopril it's 118/74. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a safe and effective blood pressure medication."


"This drug saved my life, I had been on almost all atypical meds with no luck.  Now I have been on 40mg of zyprexa for 10 years with no relapses, and have even managed to hold down a job.
I gained 20 pounds and an now a type 2 diabetic, but it was worth it.
My family and friends noticed rapid improvements within a week of starting zyprexa. A little hint, when starting zyprexa, ask your dr to prescribe benztopine, it prevents many of the negative side effects of zyprexa.
I hope this review helps some one :-)"


"I've had lower back pain for more than 2 months now, went to see a doctor who explain I have a disk bulge but the pain I have is caused by a muscle spasm that is pushing against a nerve. Gave me some exercises and pain relief meds
Nothing really worked then I took cataflam which lets the pain go away for 2-3 days (from one pill)
I really don't know how it works but its the best medicine for backpain I have taken so far. I just hope it doesnt have side effects on the long run"


"Paxil was a miracle drug for me in that it completely got rid of my anxiety and depression.  The feeling of dread I'd been carrying around in the pit of my stomach for years was finally gone!  However, it caused a 50 pound weight gain and as a result edema and other issues.  I'm now on Wellbutrin XL and slowly starting to lose the weight."


"Was doing well on 4 mg risperidone but wanted to try an injectable long acting med. Doctor suggested I start with Invega oral to be sure it would work. Tried 6 mg Invega for a month but never felt as good as with risperidone. Made me depressed, tired, insomnia and even had some breakthrough delusions. So glad I didn't go straight to injections. Restarted risperidone and feel good again. It must work for some people but not for me. No data anywhere comparing Invega to risperidone which is odd because the drugs are related. No evidence this is a better drug than risperidone."


"I have been taking tramadol for 20 years 4mg pills a day. Recently I have been trying to take myself off of this drug. I'm experiencing cold like symptom's, sweating, can't sleep at night, restless leg. My attitude is in the dump. This is only my 3rd day. I'm trying to take one pill a day and that is at night because I cannot deal with laying in the bed not sleeping and the restless leg pain. I'm hoping and praying that God will give me the strength to get through this bad experience."


"I have little to no effect using restasis for 9 months.
At about $900 for a prescription of multidose Restasis I got about 40 days of applications, not the 55 claimed by Allergen.
The dropper design is simply awful.  The dropper is very difficult to squeeze to release a drop.  The liquid is too viscous for a drop.  It comes out in an amount that is probably equivalent to 3 applictions.
The cost of this is prohibitive; my insurance is paying about $500 per prescription so I am picking up the $400 balance.
I will never order the multiuse prescription again and I am doing my best to persuade my ophthalmologist to prescribe a different drug."


"I took this drug for about a week and it did relieve my constipation due to suboxone treatment. After about a week I was going into withdrawals, had to leave work early and was a complete fucking mess by the time I got home. I'm going back to Miralax because it worked, kiND of. Had such hope for this medicine but once it built up in my system I was having full on with drawl. No thank you. Overpriced anyway."


"After years of Social Anxiety/Panic attacks I had to sort myself out. I did some research into SNRIs/SSRIs and like many, was fearful of the side effects described by others and how bad it made people feel.

I went to the GP who prescribed Venlafaxine/Effexor.

The first few weeks I felt a little nausea, increased anxiety/panic attacks, delay in ejaculation. It never felt unmanageable. After 6 weeks all had gone.

I feel 80% less anxious in social/all situations, I feel calm and very much unphased by most things. I feel more confident, my mind is clearer and it is physically impossible to dwell on negative thoughts. Haven't had a panic attack!

Everyone reacts differently. I believed it a risk worth taking and I feel it has paid off!"


"Its been a whole month since my last posting, I recently went to see my Doctor.....and guess what, NO inflammation whatsoever. But have noticed that I have had lot of sinus congestion. But who cares as long as my rheumatoid arthritis factor is @ ZERO."


"I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation about 7 years ago. I had 3 unsuccessful abrasions to try to get back into sinus rhythm. Mayo Clinic said it was to risky to do any more.   Put me on Tikosyn. I have stayed in rhythm about 99% on the time since."


"Took Ocella for 2 years. It cleared up my acne and helped a lot with period cramps. I never got pregnant and was sexually active the whole time. BUT I gained an insane amount of weight with little change to my diet or exercise. I gained about 30 pounds during that time and was super bloated with a lot of fluid retention. Looking back on photos I can tell when I was on it by how bloated my face looked vs when I went off. Didn't notice much change in sex drive which is good. Probably won't use again."


"We had sex Day 9 of cycle. He didn't pull out-Took Plan B onestep within 2hrs. No side effects.
Day 31 of cycle-Took clear blue easy- NOT PREGNANT (23 days after sex)
Im age 48,sexually active, irregular periods that can be 20 -50 days apart(perimenopausal) may not be ovulating every month.  I could say the pill worked by delaying ovulation, which on regular 28 day person could have happened between day 12-14.  On the flip side, odds of it being due to pill working could be 50/50. I'm healthy, sometimes not ovulating, he is 50, plus uses medical marijuana-3strikes already-odds of conception is lowered. We used pull out method for over 10 years- didn't want to take small chance-happy to have option of Plan B!"


"50 mg/day helps a lot.  Much better than 25 mg/da.

I've experimented with 100 mg/day and that's much better.  I have dry pants at the end of the day for the first time in decades.  No side effects, but insurance doesn't cover 100 mg/da"


"I have been on the lowest dose of injection pen for 1 week. I lost 4 pounds and had no noticeable side effects. Week 2 I increased dosage to next strength up and still no major side effects. So far so good. Only negative is price and I am battling with my insurance company to cover it."


"Was put on bystolic for high blood pressure induced by stress. This is a horrible medication.  I was only on 12.5 mg once a day and side effects were intolerable.  Extreme flushing and feeling of anxiety. ...stomach pain.  My blood pressure actually spiked after taking this medication.  Also caused bad insomnia.  I was in bed awake until 4 a.m. for 3 nights in a row when I finally decided to go my doctor and got switched to another medication.  Seems doctors are always trying to push the new and latest version of drugs, just to report back to the drug  companies.  Will never take it again."

"I was put on the Remeron initailly for insomnia. It caused me to gain a little weight but I only weighed about 95 lbs. so that was a plus for me. I took it for about 7 years. Then the sleep got worse and Ambien was added. I have been diagnosed with anxiety, stress, and panic disorder as well as fibromyalgia. It finally got to a point where nothing was working. Two sleep specialists later, I am just dealing. I had to quit work because of the inability to sleep and function in my job. I am on Seroquel for sleep which has caused me to gain about 25 lbs unfortunately it has been the only thing that has helped with the sleep and the Klonopin. Remeron was great for depression and sleep for about 7 years. I gained very little weight from it and it works."


"60 yrs old and have severe arthritis in both hands.Difficulty holding objects, joint pain,swelling and PAIN.This drug did absolutely nothing to relieve any of this.After 4weeks  I have experienced a lot of weight gain,fatigue, dry mouth,insomnia. Prior to taking Mobic I was ok.Epsom salts does more than this drug with NO side effects"


"Gave me the speed jitters, irritable, and still tired and sleepy only now I'm grumpy too."


"Took almost 3 months of this pill. First month went fine. Almost no side effects. felt less hungry during first month. 2nd month - felt nauseous at times, slight headaches. Bleeding was very light , lasted maybe 1 day or 2. 3rd month - started having stomach pains- and lower back spasms. Couldn't find other cause of spasms -  I had no injury etc. Until I found a rare side effect of this med could be spasm. Stopped taking pill midway of the 3rd month couple days ago...haven't felt a spasm since. Back to square one"


"Changed my life. I can function at work--even facilitate meetings-- and have social interactions without the physical  "fight or flight" response kicking in.  It does make me tired, and there are some sexual side effects, otherwise I would have rated 10."


"I am 20 years old and here's my experience with this birth control. Pros: didn't get pregnant. SLIGHTLY fuller breasts in the same cup size. Didn't gain weight.
Cons: I lost ALL sex drive and became a moody, depressive, crying, tired, sad prude. Which is sad because my husband thought I wasn't attracted to him and I am VERY attracted to his sexy handsome self! My acne also got worse.
After two months I stopped the pills and switched to condoms. I am back to my sexual self and get along 100"


"I've been on it for two months and 5 days and it's worked great for making my period SUPER light and lessened the pain of cramps.. But I lost my appetite and hardly eat anything, I'm overly moody, I get nauseated really easily, breast tenderness that went away after awhile. It's awesome for my periods but I think this dosage is just too strong for a first timer on birth control."


"I take less than 10 mg (about 1/4 of a pill) very nearly every night for 15  years. I have had no side effects. "


"I am a 23 y/o female and have had moderate acne since I was a teenager. I went to the dermatologist about 3 weeks ago and she prescribed me Acanya for the morning, Ziana at night, and Minocycline twice a day. I can say I see a huge difference in my acne, I have had no new pimples since starting this treatment, and my acne marks are fading. My only issue is that the creams (mostly the Acanya) make my face red and burn very badly for an hour or so after applying, but that goes away. My lips are very dry and cracked as well. I do use a moisturizer but I'm liberal with it because my face gets very oily."


Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection

"I contracted MRSA in my right foot second toe. My Dr. Gave me Zyvox because I had MRSA before and it was very hard to heal. It worked very well in clearing it up.  It was the worst 2 weeks of my life. I had nausea, diarrhea. Weakness, I felt horrible. I suppose it was better than losing my toe. It worked for me. I would use it again if the need arose. I am just glad my insurance paid for it or I couldn't have used it."


"Worked quite well for sometime. Had side effects which were attributed to another medicine I was on at the time. Through trial and error it was discovered the other medicine was not at fault. I was having kidney problems along with frequent edema in my legs and feet. Also constant mucus and tightness in throat. Helped with depression but side effects became serious. Also weight gain. Dr tapered me off this medicine."


"Marginally effective after/during cycle. Better used prophylactically. Best in combination with other treatment."


"I also started with an 8mg sample from my doctor for overactive bladder.  I felt relief from the pressure within a couple of days.  But several weeks ago I started feeling extremely nauseous.  So much that I have difficulty getting through my work day.  I also became extremely constipated.  It seems like most of these medications have the same side effects.  I will probably stop the Toviaz and get my life back."


"After reading all these experiences with the medication. I was so scared. This is my first time with Chlamydia. And I took the 4"


"This drug has saved my life literally. I have a long sad history of drug abuse. I was on a minimum 1600mg's of oxycodone a day for over three years. I had to do ridiculous things to support my habit. I have been to countless rehabs but to no avail. Although the physical withdrawel part is hard, it is nothing compared to the depression which follows. I was hospitalized numerous times following the detox for having serious suicidal thoughts.

This is the only thing that worked for me. Now I am clean for over a year and am down to around 5-6 mg's of Suboxone a day."


"Didn't do much for my anxiety.  I still had shortness of breath and that "pit" in my stomach.  There was maybe a little less shakiness, but other than that, I still felt anxious.  Now I'm on lorazepam, which works much better for me.  However, I could understand why many people do not want to take benzos might want to at least give this a try.  It just wasn't for me."


"I have been using this medication for about 3 weeks and has been nothing but no stop bleed from the time my period came which normally last for 5 days and now I am on the 14th day of my period and heavy bleeding. I am really considering just stopping the pills altogether to see if my period will go away and also feel low sex drive and irritable."


"I have suffered from severe depression for over 7 years. I was on a prescription medication and found once I turned 26 that my insurance would no longer cover that prescription.  It had been the only pill I could get to work but withou insurance I couldn't afford the $250 a month for these pills. Then I found sam-e. It has helped keep my mood stable and kept my depression symptoms at bay. Plus $60 a month is way more affordable. I hope this continues and I will be a sam-e customer for life."


"I have a tubal so I am taking this to supposedly to help with night sweats. It is Day 14 and my breasts are completely tender, I have acne on my face, chest, neck and back. I usually get a few blemishes when I have my period but nothing like this since I was pregnant 9 years ago. I am retaining water, my ankles are swollen and I am gaining weight. I have Been nauseous and my regular bowel movements have become irregular. My stomach has some cramping as well. I have been trying to figure out how long to take this before the side effects are supposed to go away. I am thinking that I will take it until my first period and then dismiss it. It is not worth all these extra side effects"


"Nature Made Super B-Complex Dietary Supplement With Vitamin C & Folic Acid....I'm taking it for vitamin B sufficiency.

No Aftertaste/heartburn/gas.

One in the morning and my concentration and energy level is much improved."


"I love this medicine because after I take it my stomach feels a lot better."


"I have been on synthroid for approx 10 years.  Here are several points that I have learned:
1.  You may initially start feeling better in a couple weeks but It takes MONTHS to see the full effects.
2.  Depending on your TSH levels, your Dr should start you at a low dosage and gradually increase as needed.  Starting with too high of a dosage is shock to your body and will even make you feel more tired as your body is working overtime.
3. See a Physician who is very familiar with thyroid issues.  If you are not seeing positive results with family Dr. see an Endocrinologist!  Many of the negative comments I have read may be a result of your Dr not understanding this disorder.
4. There are alternatives if this medicine is not working."


"I had this placed like 3 yrs ago,went on the 2/18 to get it removed and get a new one. BAD BAD  BAD EXPERIENCE. The first time no complaints, but this time...OH no. Got an infection and my arm became swollen and I had to get it back out.  Worst 2 weeks ever with this implant.  I do NOT recommend anyone getting this done. Here is 2/29 and my arm still hurts from all of this. "


"I suffer from spinal pain in the lumbar region. I receive Lumbar ESIs from my pain management doctor, but I never can get to sleep even with a good bed and pain medication. So he gave me some Lunesta samples and I finally slept like a baby in spite of my back pain. I still have a bulging disc and receive injections, but the best thing in the world is 3 mg of Lunesta for a great nights sleep! He wrote me a script and I take it every night now."


"I have been taking this for over 2 years now. Since taking it, I have had less frequent, lighter periods. Yes, there was an adjustment period of about 2-3 months where I was more sensitive/emotional. I don't want anyone to get discouraged by this as most birth controls take about a full year for your body to get used to. HOWEVER, if it is severe and affecting your every day functioning, then yes, by all means try a different birth control. But adjustments and side effects are normal; you are putting hormones into your body. Anyway, this birth control has served it's purpose as my boyfriend and I do not use condoms: we use a combination birth control method of oral contraceptives on my part and "the pull out method" on his part."


"One day and I feel amazing"


"I got the Paraguard 2 years ago. The insertion process wasn't bad I had mild cramping during insertion and strong menstrual cramping after which lasted 2 days max. I experienced very heavy bleeding for about 4 to 6 months.  I had to wear thick pads and often bled through. After approx. 5 months the bleeding began to normalize. I like the fact that Paragard is very effective however my complaints are overactive bladder, break-through bleeding and long periods. My periods last 9 to 16 days. I consulted my doctor on my concerns and was informed that this is normal and within the side-effects of the paragard. Although my bleeding isn't heavy anymore, I dislike that it last so long. I am contemplating having it removed"


"This birth control has worked 100% with preventing pregnancies. However, it makes me beyond depressed, irritable, angry and moody. It started out to be right before my period, but now it is all the time. I never had these issues before taking Tri Previfem. It also makes me super hungry right before my period, where I want to eat everything in sight. But my major issue is definitely the depression, anger, anxiety and crying spells it has caused. Tonight is my last night taking this pill, thank God I am finally done with the pack!!! I do not recommend!"


"Lost 50 pounds"


"I've had herniated discs for 5 years and the back and nerve pain can be really intense and debilitating.  Started using Zipsor about 18 months ago and it makes it possible for me to live. I'm so grateful for this product, and I hope I never have to stop taking it for any reason!"


"Lowered my blood pressure, excessive dizziness. Extreme fatigue, chest pain."


"I was prescribed amlodipine ironically after a heart attack possibly caused by zomig .When I was taking it thought it was weird I was no longer getting migraines . When I was told to come off it by the cardiologist , the migraines returned . It's changed my life . The only side effect is oedema  ( swollen ankles) a small price to pay . Been on it for 15 years now"


"I've been on Yaz for almost 2 years now and I have had no issues whatsoever. Every individual reacts differently to different medicines. It's common sense to assume the risk outlined on the label."


"I'm on 400mg 3 times a day and doxycycline 100mg once a day for a week. So far I've had some nausea, headaches and keep getting waves of tiredness. Not good as I work night shift and I'm tired enough as it is. However it is doing the trick as my infection is clearing up. Just recommend when you take them put the water in your mouth first then the pill and swallow it quickly as it tastes bad."


"So I started this birth control because my periods are so bad, I bleed a lot. This birth control made me extremely sick, I had to go to the hospital. On the first day, I threw up and by the next day, I woke up sicker than a dog, it was terrible. I was having trouble breathing, my chest hurt, I was throwing continuously, my breast ached very much, and my legs went numb, along with my arms. This medication has 60% more estrogen than birth control pills. I would not recommend this medication if you have any type of allergy."


"I just started treatment with Suboxone yesterday. I was in full WD 38 hrs in. 1 hour after the doctor gave me my first dose. The WD eased up drastically. I cannot believe that there is something out there that can help like this does. probably saved my marriage and my life."


"Worked within one week. Took years ago, stopped, recently placed back on it, 75mg with Lamictal 100mg. Life back to 75% normal."


"I got my nexplanon February of 2014 and so far it's been great! I get my period every two months and usually get it for 2 weeks. That sucks but it evens out! Not pregnant yet so that says it's going it's job! I heard I wouldn't get my period so I was a little disappointed when I did get it, overall I think I would hate not getting a period, so it works out! I plan on getting one again after the three years is up (:"


"June 1 2016 starting weight 269 started belviq 1 tab twice a day with NO side effects. Appetite 0. Sept 29 new weight 226. I haven't even started a consistent workout schedule yet. I hope to reach my goal of 170# by my birthday on December 30. Belviq is really working for me because I've been a big girl my whole life and would eat even though I wasn't hungry. It's the best thing I've ever tried."


"I was on 50mg of doxocycline as well as using tretanoin cream for about 15 days and it made my acne worse, and for about a week my skin was very dry. I went back to the doctors and have stopped using the cream now I am on an 100mg dose of doxocycline and have been for about 2 weeks and haven't seen any improvement. But I'll update soon. I'm 18 and am prone to acne because of my dads genes. It covers most of my right cheek and chin, and a few spots here and there on the rest of my face but it had gotten worse on my forehead and other cheek but I'm not sure if that was from the medication or if that was going to happen regardless. I have tried a lot of different ways to clear my skin, antibacterial washes and medicated washes, hope this works"


"I started this birth control in hopes to clear my skin and balance my hormones. The first 3 months were ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. And I mean HORRIBLE. I turned into a different person, which in turn cause my boyfriend of 4 years and I to break up. Also, my skin EXPLODED. Honestly the worst acne I have ever seen. I hid in my room and cried for 3 months straight. At the 3 month mark, I started to feel amazing. My body feels better than ever, smooth digestion, completely clear skin which seemed to have happened over night, consistent good moods and my boobs have gone from and A to a full C. My boyfriend and I are also back together, lol. I highly recommend this birth control but you NEED to give it time for your body to adjust! SO worth it"


"I have ulcerative colitis, and I tested positive for c diff and was put on Flagyl - 500 mg 4x/day.  The first 5 days I could function although I had no appetite and was dizzy and nauseated.  The last 6 days I was bedridden with nausea and vomiting, aversion to food, dizziness, and the skin on my legs went numb.  It's been a week now and the legs' skin is still numb, although it doesn't affect my mobility.  I don't want to eat anything still but the food doesn't come back up now.  However, all the symptoms of c diff are gone.  Seems to have calmed down the UC as well.  So yes, it worked very well so far but the side effects for me were horrendous."


"Idiopathic Hypersomnia - Nuvigil has been available for prescription for two weeks; I have been taking it for five days.  50mg once in the morning.  I do not have trouble falling asleep at night, which I did on Provigil.  Nuvigil is rather expensive to fill, more than $1 per pill for my copay.  It has helped my daytime sleepiness somewhat, but not taken it away completely.  I still get strong urges to nap, but they are more resistible.  I sleep less at night, more like 7-9 hours than 8-10.  The big problem is that Nuvigil appears to be triggering migraines for me.  I have chronic migraine syndrome and I usually get one per week, but for the first four days on Nuvigil I got three migraines.  I will have to discontinue it if this side effect doesn't stop."


"I have been on Soriatane for about a year.  It has done wonders for my condition.  I was on 25 mg per day and the derm changed it to 25mg everyother day and 10mg on opposite days. This has shown very little change but a VERY tiny bit is now noticeable. I have had absolutely ZERO side effects.  Overall, I'm thoroughly happy with it!"


"I just got the Mirena today. I have had two children both natural births. After reading reviews I was beyond nervous having this done as everyone seems to think this is painful. I can honestly say I didn't really feel a thing during the insertion. Maybe the ibprophin did help but still a lot easier then I thought it would be! 6 hours later and still no pain...light bleeding but I am at the end of my period so no biggie really. I am really hoping this works out for me as I am 33 and do not plan on having anymore children. I have typically never have side effect of any medication except the very minor things...so keeping my fingers crossed. I would definitely suggest getting this done if you just don't feel like being on the pill anymore!!"


"This birth control changed my life. I suffered through menstrual migraines and headaches for years, for 3 weeks out of the month I had a headache almost every single day. I started this pill in October 2015 and have had THREE headaches. Amazing"


"I have just been prescribed clorazapate after trying Zoloft for anxiety which did not help me at all for anxiety.  My doctor decided to put me on this after I told him that and it has seemed to control my anxiety and panic attacks to a certain extent.  I am glad that I finally found a medication that actually gives me a noticeable change rather than something you must take in order for it to build up in your system for its full effects.  The only reason I'm not giving it a 10 is because it doesn't seem to completely eliminate my symptoms as I had hoped it would.  The medicine however does do a very good job controlling my symptoms to a point where I can live a normal life again as I had been doing prior to this onset of chronic anxiety."


"I started taking Humira after the Methotrexate became in-effective.  I WOULD NEVER TAKE THIS HUMIRA AGAIN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.  It began with headaches, which got worse every time I took the Humira.  My energy level went down to nothing, and it did not help my RA at all.  NOW, this drug has given me severe Eczema on my hands, feet, underarms, crotch and in my ear canals.  I have never been so miserable in my entire life.  They can't help the eczema at all.  I have gone off Humira for over 2 months, I'm flaring, and I still have the eczema.  They tell me I might have it for life.  DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG.  I'd rather have RA pain, then all these debilitating side effects.  Funny, they never said a word about any of this."


"Was on Prevacid for over a year. All of a sudden it stopped working. Tried Protonix, all I can say is never again. So then Dr. prescribed Nexium 40mg, been on it for about week, so far so good. No side effects that I can tell and acid is definitely under control."


"I began taking birth control pills a little over a year ago, and started on Ortho-Lo. My skin began breaking out, so my doctor switched me to Trinessa about 4-5 months ago, and I am a walking disaster area. My mood issues started out as mild, but have now blown into nonstop anxiety, depression, anger and irritability. My boyfriend and family have all noticed. I am tired all the time and have lost motivation and interest in things I used to enjoy. I'm an absolute terror to be around on my period, and worst of all, my skin is terrible. I can't leave the house without makeup on and am constantly self conscious about it. Each month has gotten worse with these symptoms and I finally contacted my Doctor and am switching to Yaz this Sunday."


"It definitely helps my cough. But it makes me so dizzy, I feel like my surroundings are going by at 100mph when I walk. I would NOT drive after taking it. I also feel a little "out of it", but that could just be having a sinus infection. I didn't have a problem with diarrhea like some people have mentioned."


"Totally worthless. Made my cough way worse. Every time I fall asleep I wake up coughing and choking. Wish it wear off faster than 12 hours!"


"Prescribed after surgery on hand, told to take 1 150mg capsule every 8 hours, well that meaning one right before bed. HORRIBLE IDEA!! I wasn't informed to drink a whole glass of water with or not to lay down up to 30 mins after. So about a week into taking it on my night time one (midnight) took it and went to bed. Woke up with the worlds worst heartburn. So bad I'm asking my doc at next appointment if I can switch scripts."


"Tried for 8 Months after prostate surgery. Did not work. It gave me severe headaches the next day. Headaches decreased over 5 days. Headache medications gave no relief!"


"I was on n implanon for 3 years never had any issues absolutely LOVED it. But then I went to renew it and got on the alternative NEXAPLON I believe that's how it's spelled but anyway I'm down yo my last few months and I can't stop bleeding?? Been over 2 weeks, any one know if this is normal?? That's my only complaint have a few mood swings but nothing to bad."


"I started trulicity on6-24-16 so far no side effects im used to drinking lots of water so im not bothered by the dry mouth i hope this helps me and doesnt give me more kkidney Damage ill keep u posted"


"I've dealt with many periods of depression in my life, but I hit an all-time low a year and a half ago culminating in a suicide attempt. This medication helped me get back on my feet. I started with a low dose (25mg/day-I'm small and female) and have slowly increased to the normal dosage my doctor prescribes for adults (50mg/day). I went off of it for two months after five months of taking it and fell back into depression. Went back on it and have been fine since. I don't think I will stop again for a while. Only problems are occasional insomnia and inability to orgasm anymore."


"Better than anything else I've used."


"I am a 29 year old Mother of two beautiful boys. I am pretty sure I am not wanting to have any more children. Five years ago I decided to do the Mirena, the insertion process was a little painful, very little spotting the first couple of weeks, then no periods at all. I love the Mirena, I have had no more acne then I had before the Mirena, gained no weight, and only on occasion have slight bloating and cramps. Just yesterday since my Five years were up in May, I had my second Mirena put in. I love this product, I have had no problems with it, and I do recommend it to friends and family. It is nice to have peace of mind and not worry about remembering to take a pill. There is no other form of contraception I would use again."


"I have a very bad bout of bronchitis. I'm on day 5 and I don't feel markedly improved. The coughing is not quite as often, however when I do cough the phlegm feels thicker and the coughing spasms are more violent. It could be because the Mucinex is now wearing off. I just had higher expectations. Now I'm nervous, because I don't feel like my condition is improving. And the sound and feel of the mucus is a lot worse, but no side effects."


"For the past 5 years I have been taking Vicodin 7.5/325 and Percocet.  I got to the point where I was taking so many Vicodin to try to break the pain cycle that it was starting to cause liver damage.  My Doc decided to switch me to the Morphine sulphate. After 2 days I noticed a marked change, I was no longer using the Vicodin or Percocet at all.  It has now been 5 months, the pain is still there but I can work and play with my 5 month old baby girl. I'm sure I will have to have the dosage changed soon as I only seem to get about 9 hrs of reduced pain before it starts coming back."


"This medicine remarkably helped my husbands shaking.  He now barely shakes at all.  Best Parkinson medicine we ever tried."


"I have nodule like hormonal acne only on my chin that started when I was around 21. I've tried a lot of medications and it seemed a short course of antibiotics or birth control were the only things that seemed to help. In October 2014 it got very inflamed and painful so I saw a dermatologist.  She put me on Solodyn (antibiotic) for 3 months only and then Ziana gel. I will be honest, Ziana definitely makes your skin worse before it starts to make it better. The drying I experienced was minimal but it truly made my skin 'purge' like I had read it would. It got so bad and red that I wanted to cry and curse Ziana, however, after about 2.5 months it started to get better with no more breakouts. Just be patient!!"


"Luvox was the second medication I tried for OCD. I was only on the lowest dose of this medication for 4 days, because the side effects were unbearable. About 4 hours after taking this medication, I became incredibly sedated and out of it. The drowsiness was so pronounced that I did not wish to continue this med.
Since I had no where near reached the therapeutic dose of this medication, I hope that my rating doesn't discourage one from trying it. All SSRI's are notorious for having some inital side effects before you see their benefit; I just couldn't make it to that stage."


"I have been taking a combination of Jardiance 25 mg daily and Janumet 50/100 BID for about a year and 1/2.  I have lost 70 pounds....was 191lb pounds now 121 pounds.  Due to weight loss, Alc is now 5.8, down from 10.8.  I have recently stopped the Janumet finding I no longer need both medications.  Considering cutting Jardiance dose in half  as well.  However since stopping Janumet I have gained about 5 pounds recently..which is fine because 121 pounds was too thin for my medium size frame.  I am hoping I can stop medications altogether.  I highly recommend Jardiance!"


"I felt almost no side effect. From a 3500 calorie intake the first two week I was able to drop to 2000 calories daily. The third week naturally I eat around 1000/1200 calories. I feel less anxious, more emotionally stable, with more energy and happier. I recommend taking the pills at the same time every day, to organize your meals and a 30 minute walk every day."


"I was on Depo for 9 yrs. The cost of the shot and office visits 4x/year was not prohibitive, but definitely inconvenient. I had no side effects and no bleeding on Depo, but due to bone-density concerns I decided to switch to something longer term. The anxiety leading up to the insertion is the worst part. The procedure was simple, however, the RN struggled with insertion. After the 3rd attempt, it took. This part wasn't particularly painful due to the use of local anesthetic. Afterward, however, there was moderate pain at the insertion site for approximately 1 month. Minimal to no bruising. Some itching. I have had the implant for 3 months. Just like Depo, no periods and no side effects, however, this is not the case for the majority of users."


"I've been on Ortho-Cept for a month, and I have not had any side effects other than occasional breast tenderness. It's reduced my acne, which is a plus and if it's had any effect on my mood, it's positive. I'd definitely recommend it."


"In about 1 week I noticed drastic change. I was feeling much happy, less mood swings, and even my anxiety had lessened. I like this medication because it's natural and has almost no side effects. I highly recommend it."


"I am on day 3 of this I felt like death on day one could barely stand up clogged up extremely sore throat ... day 2 still clogged up but not as much and throat starting to feel better I'm surprised! Say 3 today still some mucus this morning dnd a bit of sore throat but way way better then day 1!"


"After smoking 56 years I quit smoking with Chantix."


"Changed my life. I had been experiencing slight bouts of anxiety starting at around age 19. Hitting me hard, randomly of course, only a few times a year. Then when I was 24 something changed with my anxiety and I became completely crippled by it. I was being consumed by constant anxiety, worry, fear, etc every single minute of everyday including when I slept. I was out of control emotionally and mentally. I had to take a box of tissues with me everywhere because the anxiety was so severe I would burst out into tears even during the "happiest" of times. Finally after suffering for months I decided to give  Cymbalta a try, reluctantly though. After a week of relatively mild side effects it had changed my life and saved my life."


"Hi I have had the nexplanon for about 3 years now and I must say I'm impressed . I had horrendous bleeding before I got on any kind of birth control and the nexplanon helped control and maintain a normal ish period cycle . I am not pregnant . Although I have sex with my bf frequently but I admit I have lost most of my sex drive . I really thought this was a nifty bc because it lasts for years with no worry of replacement or missing a dose , however my depression worsened and I developed anxiety problems in the time I have been on it . Although I had bad periods before I started the bc I found that in the second year towards the end , that my periods were back but only lasting 1 to 2 weeks with 3 weeks in between with heavy dark blood ."


"I was prescribed Atarax for one specific reason. I am having an MRI done and am extremely claustrophobic. I was prescribed 50mg pills. I was given 4 pills. I am to take 1 pill first to see how it effects me and then I can decide if I need another one. I took one for the first time last night and I became very sleepy. I am also on Tylenol 3 for pain. My eyes could barely stay up. However, once I closed my eyes, I was up every hour on the hour. Not sure if that is because of the anticipation of my MRI or what. I was very relaxed however, but do not suffer the anxiety attacks as bad as I did years ago and my heart goes out to those who do. I will take the two pills at MRI and give my review again then."


"I was tired all the time. Everything stressed me out. I was very negative. I found fault in most things. I was irritable most of the time. My thoughts raced with negativity most of the time. I withdrew socially a lot because other people upset me most of the time. I lacked compassion for other people most of the time. I felt like life was worthless. Lots of trouble concentrating at work. Trouble sleeping. More depressed in winter time. These problems progressively got worse as I got older. The doctor gave me Lexapro. I noticed some changes the 1st day I took the medicines but it took a little over 4 months to take it's full effect on me. I'm almost exactly opposite of who I used to be now. Lexapro changed my life."


"I've been on 4 different medications since I was diagnosed with Crohn's 2 years ago.  I've been on Humira for 6 months and its the only medication that has helped and made difference.
Side Effects:  I do break out in small dime size hives around the injection site that goes away within 24 hours.  Dr. says this is ok."


"Started Harvoni 6 days ago so far no side effects or maybe a little concentration problem at time. (Brain fog) not sure if thats part of it or just because I'm an old fart LOL."


"I am 52  year old female. My ability to get a full nights sleep has steadily declined since a hysterectomy 10 years ago. I am lucky to get 4 hours sleep a night. Occasionally, none. I tried everything, including prescription sleeping pills but quit them after 4 nights of use. Took two 3 mg tablets of natures bounty melatonin and  was off to sleep in less than an hour. Slept well only woke couple of times during night but quickly fell back to sleep. Feel refreshed in the morning."


"My boyfriend and I had sex on the very last day of my period. I keep careful track of it and keep note. Without noticing, the condom broke and came in me (Jan 20). It was 6am and there was no pharmacies open around me, so I had to wait until 10, a good 4 hours after the indicent. CVS didn't have plan B and opted for Aftera, the next available. She said it was the same thing only $10 less. 2 weeks after taking the pill, I had terrible breast tenderness, swelling, I had light cramps that would come and go every so often. 3 weeks came and still no period. FINALLY, on Feb 18, my period came. This pill is extremely strong, different side effects for different people. Hope this helps someone. GOOD LUCK GIRLS!"


"My partner is on Suboxone. She was on heroin for ten years on and of with this tablet, her life has changed and she is slowly taking the tablet less and less (very important). When she just stopped abruptly last time, she had a relapse but is fine now."


"Took it the right way and didn't have any children"


"I swear Sumatriptan injections saved my life. My new best friend. I never leave home without them."


"This medication  was used to help prevent  a stroke but it actually  caused me to have a stroke. I wouldn't  advise anyone to take this medication.  Someone else I knew  had several strokes before  the dr figured  out it was the aggrenox. I was on it 8 months before  having my stroke."


"Was on Ortho Novum 7/7/7 for about 8 years until my sex drive started plummeting, then I was on Microgestin FE 1/20 for 3 years before I started missing periods, which isn't a horrible thing except for if you are in an intimate relationship and sexually active. So my doctor switched me to Aviane.  The first couple of months were going fantastic, but after that I noticed that I would cry and get emotional at the most ridiculous things and get more than my fair share of headaches. I've never had this problem with any of my other birth controls and I was being called out by my boyfriend about the issue.  I'm working with my doctor right now to switch to something else.  I guess the levonorgestrel hormone combination was just not for me."


"What can I say?...Enbrel put me in remission. What can be better than that? 8 years of rheumatoid arthritis treatments, some caused inflammation of my kidneys and liver. At the time I started on Enbrel, I was taking 5 different medications. One by one they were eliminated. In the fall of 2012, I caught a bad respiratory infection so I stopped the Enbrel per doctor's instructions and my rheumatoid arthritis did not come back! I hope they do research to determine how often this occurs because I didn't expect remission!"


"my husband has renal cancer . he did partial nephroctomy in his right kidney on 9/2010. many tumors appeared later in small sizes in both kidneys. now he is on votrient 800 mg 35 days ago.. he has high blood pressure treated .. rare weakness and bad taste.. little bit problems in stomach.. pain in leg.. his hair started to b white.. we r looking for positive result . hope this treatment can shrink or remove the total tumors"


"I was very excited to get this birth control because I have epilepsy and it was one of the birth controls I could use with my medicine. I got it on August 2010 and after that I have had longer periods and I get them twice a month. I am bleeding very heavily. I was hoping that this birth control would help my period not make it worse. I regret getting it and wish I chose something else. The only benefit to this birth control is I don't have to worry about taking it every day."


"I have been taking this medication for I am guessing two years and have loved it. Not really had any side effects that I could think that were any big deal. Now all of a sudden about a week or two ago I can not go a day without an accident or a close call. I need to figure out something soon."


"Once I started taking melocicam along with my  disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs  (DMARD's) medicine, I felt like a new person, like I could run around the block. I was so thankful. Now I can do my house work without feeling pain or having to stop/rest."


"Its only OK once I've fallen asleep and maintaining that sleep but honestly I still have genuine reasons to be paranoid in life based on misconceptions certain associates ect but yea still depressed restless legs less paranoid over thinking but more frustrated and anxious I eat a lot on it and well I guess proper therapy sessions would've been a better approach for me"


"HORRIBLE! Stay Away! I had a mild yeast infection took the 1-day med and as soon as I inserted the medicine  in the burning began!!!! The burning lasted for three days went to the doctor and had chemical burns and swelling!! Never again! Save yourself and your vagina just call the doctor and get the pill! I wish I could give this a negative ten!"


"I was told had severe  seborreic dermatitis.  Was told to use it for two months with another cream. Used it 3 days no difference.  Dermitis is diaper rash. So I am trying a diaper rash treatment from a drug store.  Only used 1 day and it's 45% better.   Going to give it a try. Will report back later."


"I have had IBS for many years and have dealt with it. Just this past week I made a trip to the ER thinking I was having appendicitis. Thank God I didn't. I was diagnosed with Colitis. The pain was so severe at times I couldn't hardly walk. I went to my doctor the next day and he prescribed dicyclomine. What a life saver!! No more pain."


"I am on Humira for ten weeks now and notice a huge improvement in my energy levels. I just discovered today my blood pressure is high don't know if it's connected but never had a problem in the past. I think it's great I can now go for a decent walk without being in agony, am still worried about long term effects. The injection is nothing -  always leave out for half an hour beforehand. I am one of the lucky ones as in Ireland the state covers most of cost for rheumatoid arthritis sufferers and I was only diagnosed about a year ago."


"I had wonderful results with hormone therapy but after 5 years my Doc told me to wean off. Did so in 3 weeks. Then 2 years of sleep loss due to constant hot flashes all night long. My new Doc suggested Brisdelle. My insurance covers beautifully so I only pay $3 monthly. But it didn't work. I was woozy during the day and slept heavily but with terrible dreams that woke me and then I had great difficulty going back to sleep. And still had hot flashes. After 2 1/2 months I said thanks but no thanks. No need for extra medication if it's not working. The dreams and their after effects are debilitating- re-living them through the day. So I'm weaning off and feeling extra woozy. First week every other day then every third day for another week."


"Getting off the depo... Ever since I've got it, I've had horrible headaches every single day, the only thing that helps is Exedrin Migraine. I've gained 20+ pounds & im extremely moody & tired all the time & I spit out of nowhere. I loved the shot at first but I'm getting off of it."


"I had really bad expectations when I started to read reviews about this medication. then i experienced the side effects that came with it. however, the medicine worked for me after 4 1/2 weeks. I had big cluster on my inner thigh, half the size of my pinky fingernail. it was embarrassing. I was ashamed and never sought treatment. I eventually saw a Dr and she gave me imiquimod. twelve little packs cost me around $200. I only used three so I have extra for future outbreaks. I have two tips. One, make sure to only put the cream on the wart. two, make sure that you wash the cream off after 6-8 hours. there will be discomfort at times but its manageable."


"I was on Trinessa when I was 18 for about a year, and it worked fine for me. I then discontinued use of any form of birth control for for several years, but at 24, I decided to get back on the pill. I figured I would go back to Trinessa since it worked well before. I've had a history of irritable bowel syndrome ever since I was a child, and finally got it under control at around age 21. The first time I was on this pill at 18, it didn't affect my bowel habits. But something must have changed with the pill or with my body, because from the day I got on this pill last month, I've been having irritable bowel flare-ups DAILY, literally unable to leave the bathroom for an hour."


"I have been taking Monodox now for 2 weeks and have seen amazing results. While it's not completely clear yet I have seen fast results the first week my face was really dried out but after a while it got better. I do feel sick to my stomach when I take it though, especially in the morning so I take it around noon and I have to eat something. But the results are worth it. The dermatologist also prescribed me with a morning cream called Benzaclin and a night cream Atralin. I believe together the creams and medicine are clearing my skin. After having it since I was 13 it would be nice to have clear skin."


"I have been taking Topamax 50 mg. 2 X daily for over a year now and found that it has helped me alot with a few exceptions.  They are weight loss, kidney stones, tingling in hands & feet & frequent urination.  I found that other medications din't help (Depakote).  I also take this with Inderal(B/P Med) and Catapres TTS Patch(B/P Med) cause I also suffer high Blood Pressure and these two medications also are good migraine fighting meds.  I do recommend the Topamx."


"Did not make any difference to my pain."


"It should be noted why a patient should stop taking this medicine before surgery.  My father went in for a routine cystoscope and had major bleeding complications.  Patients should be made aware that this medicine may CAUSE BLEEDING."


"I have taken Votrient since 9/2010, starting at 800 mg per day, but reducing dosage to 400 mg then 200 mg due to high liver enzyme counts.  I started taking Votrient after my kidney was removed due to RCC, in addition I had three tumors in my legs, which is how I found out I had RCC.  After taking Votrient and the kidney removal two of the tumors disappeared, one year later and after taking the drug for one year I had the third tumor removed by surgery which was reduced in size by 50%.  Today my latest scans are showing no new cancer sites.  Side effects have been minimal, diarrhea, and change in taste with higher dosages, plus sexy looking white hair!  This medicine has allowed me to continue traveling, and enjoy life without any limits."


"I have been on the shot for almost a month now and have had nothing but negative side effects. I am 18 years old and this is the first birth control I have ever been on, so that could be why I have had so many problems. I feel nauseous all day, my face broke out with terrible acne, and my mood has gone from happy to depressed. Sometimes I just sit there and cry for no reason. Others may have a positive experience with this, but it is not for me. If my symptoms do not get better, then I will not be getting the second shot."


"I've been taking Sronyx for about 4 months now and I did not experience any negative side affects. My acne is a lot better than before I took the pills too! One weird thing I've noticed about my experience with Sronyx is that I'll have my period while I'm taking the white pills then have another small period again when I take the orange pills. It gets a little annoying but it's nothing I can't handle. Wish I didn't have to go through that. Other than that, Sronyx birth control is the first type of birth control I've ever taken and I'm really satisfied with it."


"I gave it a 5 because of side effects. I have had guttate psoriasis for over 3 years now, and Otezla, combined with Light Therapy, is the only thing that has worked. I have been on it for almost a month now, and although it is working, the side effects are harsh. Everyones' body reacts differently, so don't let this discourage you, but for me it has not been pleasant. The only reason I am still taking it is because it is clearing up my skin and I am getting married in 17 days and I don't want to be self conscious about how I look and my Dr. said if I just stop, my guttate could flare up, which I don't need on my wedding day. I use Pepto Bismol and Excedrin for Tension headaches to control the symptoms, although it only controls it a tad bit"


"I have been on 20 mg Zocor now for 3 month's. Within the past 6 weeks I have developed muscle ache in my legs, stomach and ribs, insomnia that I never had before along with depression and a general feeling of lethargy. High time I had a chat with my Doctor I think, if it's zocor that's causing this, then it's not worth taking"


"Was on this medication for 5-6 weeks. Titrated up to 40mg, but this made my anxiety so bad (mostly physiological), that I went back down to 30mg. Was only on 40mg for a few days. Got my first brain zap, and accompanying psychosis with full blown auditory hallucinations. That's when I knew it was time to quit. Viibryd isn't as bad at inhibiting sexual desire as other SSRIs, but it STILL does! For anxiety, this medication wasn't helpful- but I did notice myself in a more positive and upbeat mood (for what that's worth). After spending a total of 4-5 hours researching this drug, and hearing about what it's like if you forget to take your dose (even if you're an hour off)- I was scared straight. Weaned myself off FAST (5mg reduction per night)."


"Had clusters 37 years now. I've tried literally EVERYTHING out there. The only thing that works for immediate relief is imitrex injections. If med takes too long (nasal or pill), it simply doesn't work. Gabapentin (sp) regime should be started immediately, they eventually stop the nerve from spasms. Imitrex is now available generic (sumatriptan), however, still expensive. I pay $75/shot only available as a two-pack."


"Works GREAT for my bipolar also! I have been looking for a medicine to do that for 25 years!"


"I've been on the ring for 6 months. Before that I was on the "ortho tri cyclen lo" pills for almost a year. For the first 4 months I was raving about it to everyone who brought up birth control, be it customers, friends, family, etc. Things have changed since, my sex drive is low, I'm an emotional trainwreck for no reason. It's nice not having to worry about it everyday and it's been great at preventing pregnancy. Now it's harder to just put those negative things aside when I feel like it's affecting my relationship and myself emotionally. But I'm still deciding whether to stop using it because I don't want to just use condoms now since I'm not open to taking any other hormonal birth control at this moment."


Osteolytic Bone Metastases of Solid Tumors

"Had horrible side effects from zo meta

Will not take this med ever again.Hospitalized for 7 days and now at rehab trying to walk again.

Please research this med and read testimonals before taking, wish I had."


"I’ve been constipated for a week now due to doctor prescribing zofran. I tried everything. Stool softeners, juice, milk of magnesia, and nothing was working. Saw fleet in store and thought I’d give it a try. It is easy to use, has lubricant, but had to get S/O to help due to I couldn’t hold it in for that long. In about 5 minutes it started to work. It was a little painful (cramping) but nothing like other laxatives cause. I feel completely empty and better then ever!"


"I've tried all the psch ones and nothings helped but when they put me on trileptal OMG wonderful seriously. I take 600 mg, I also  gabapentin 600 mg X 3"


"I have been off and on Lunesta 3mg for over 10 years.

The reason I get off of it, I gain a tolerance to it, so I have to try something else so I can get Lunesta out of my system. Usually I get on Valium 10mg or stronger because nothing else works.

I can stay awake for weeks. Yes, weeks.

My longest time staying awake, 20 days.

Lunesta works for a lot of people, I just have a high tolerance to most medications."


"I experienced an improvement in pain, swelling and stiffness within the first two weeks. I was able to titrate off of prednisone and hydrocodone. However, I am experiencing stomach upset and rapid hair loss, which is very disconcerting."


"Helped very well for pain after liver transplant.  Only took for a month."


"This medicine has saved my life. I suffered from terrible anxiety at times. Changed Doctors and they recognized this and prescribed 0.5mg 2 x a day, 1 in the morning , 1 at night,
Cant remember when I have been so productive. Thanks to my Doctor."


"Since I have been sick, I have been through tons of medication. Most of which I had bad reactions too. With my condition, my depression got worse and mood swings started to occur. My doctor had tried putting me on an anti-depressant before, one that landed me in the E.R. So I was skeptical about trying something else but, when I did decide to try the Pristiq. At least I had some side effect, nothing big. It was probably me just adjusting but, finally when I had. My doctor started noticing a huge difference and so did I. I smiled more and cried less."


"This was my miracle medicine for the most part- little to no effect on sex drive, helped with depression AND anxiety/OCD that gave me some much needed pep. However, Viibryd did have some pretty gnarly side effects for me that necessitated by cessation of usage. It started within the first month as night terrors (extremely realistic dreams that are almost lucid in that you are aware that you are asleep but you can't wake yourself up or even you awake but can't move) and night sweats, both of which I can handle, given the positive effect the medicine had on me overall.  Eventually though I began developing parathesia (electric shock sensations) that got so serious they would cause minor convulsions almost daily."


"I got Nexplanon inserted December 2012. I was previously on the pill for 5 years which worked great for me, but I began having seizures last July. Because of the seizures, I switched my birth control to a progesterone based birth control in case the estrogen was provoking my seizures. I've now had Nexplanon for almost 5 months and have been bleeding every day since. I've also gained about 15 pounds. It has been horrible for me. I would love to just take it out, but I spent $700 on this and would like to wait it out and see if it gets better. "


"I took this pills coz I'm anemic and my doctor previously put in an IUD to cure my anemia but the IUD came come itself so she told me take birth control pills which is this one. It seems like it helped me to stop bleeding but since 10-15 days I felt like I have shortness of breath and my heartbeat is very fast. I donno why she prescribed me this may be because I have amerigroup insurance or something other reason. I went to my doc to checkup he said I might have blood clot in my lungs. My life is messed up now."


"This medication is working. I do have weird dreams and insomnia. Latuda gave me restlessness and this drug was the next best medication. I have gained weight and not happy about that side effect. Otherwise, feel like myself again."


"Had the infusion twice. The only side effect the 1st time was a slight headache. The 2nd time, no side effects at all. I highly recommend having this. Make sure you are well hydrate the day of the procedure."


"I started taking Saxenda the beginning of September and I have lost 28 lbs in a month... I am very pleased with this medicine being that it is very hard for me to lose weight due to my PCOS. I exercise at least 3 to 4 times a week and I'm eating a little more healthy. The only thing about this medication is I have been experiencing eggy burping, nausea and diarrhea since I have been on the 3.0 dosage. Hoping it will subside soon. I'm hoping to lose at least 60 more lbs and I am very confidant that Saxenda will help me reach my goal! I went 0nline and signed up for the discount card to help with the cost I was paying 115.00 now I only pay 30."


"I have taken Wellbutrin or bupropion  for 3 months since I was diagnosed with depression. My primary doctor put me me on these other medications before I was given Wellbutrin and they had the worse side effects... I couldn't sleep or eat. So thankful for Wellbutrin it makes me happier and let's me sleep at night."


"Overall good, no side effects, only some little red dots on the skin, doctor says thats normal"


"Since I relied so heavily on reviews, I figured I'd share my experience here. I did months of research on IUDs. First wanting a paragaurd, then opting for the skyla because I have metal allergies and didn't want to risk having metal in such a sensitive area. The insertion was NOT BAD. Everyone who claims it is the worst pain they've ever felt must have an extremely low tolerance for pain. It wasn't comfortable or pleasant, but it was quick. The worst part was having my cervix clamped. But I am ok. I am crampy but ok. I'm looking forward to seeing how my body adjusts to it. I am also nervous about the risks- perforation, pelvic infection, bacterial vaginosis, hair loss, weight gain, moodiness, acne, etc. I hope I made the right choice for me"


"My fiance has been addicted to Vicodin since he was 9 years old. He is now 23. I am so thankful that they came out with this medicine. I can remember the fight over the addiction. The sleepless nights and the shits. He was never the same after he had started treatment. He has been clean for a year and a half. Thank you so much. He can finally live free of an addiction."


"No pain after second injection.  98% clear.  Only side efferct so far is nausea at times.  Love this so far.  Humira and Enbrel caused bad site reactions."


"Hi I just want to say I have ZERO pain tolerance at all (had a LEEP ( loop electrosurgical excision procedure) under general anesthesia) and almost canceled my appointment because of the reviews and how anxious I was. Procedure took less than 2 minutes and was literally 2 SMALL cramps. I took 800 mg Ibprofen 40 minutes prior. Will update later but as of now I feel great."


"I have had nothing but a great experience on this pill.  I've been on it for over two years now.  I've gained no weight, my chest is a little fuller but I didn't have to buy new bras, and, best of all, most months I don't have a period but if I do it lasts for a day or two and I only need a light tampon.  The negative is the cost but if you go on the Generess FE website you can print out a card so your pills only cost $25/month.  I highly recommend it!"


"I've been taking Lysteda for over a year and I absolutely love it! I have fibroids and I bleed very heavily (soak a super plus tampon in an hour). With Lysteda my periods are so much better! I take 4 pills per day (morning and night) for two days and the bleeding is decreased by about 60% to 70%. I do get headaches after taking it but it's worth it."


"By far the best Migraine Medication I have ever taken and I have tried them all with little success and major side effects .  With Amerge (Naratriptin) the only side effects I experience is a little sleepiness and sometimes a bout with minor depression but it much better than the migraine.  II try to take it when the symptoms first begin and it will totally knock it out.  If I take it once the migraine starts, it will still work by easing the pain and sometimes knock it out.  I am able to fully function throughout the day    I highly recommend this drug I"


"Amazing product. I've only been using it for two days now, but already I'm hardly sweating at all under my arms anymore. Yes it burns, but it's so worth it. If it continues to work for me, then this is literally a life changing product."


"Took Lisinopril for 18 months, it was very good at lowering blood pressure, however after 16 months of taking it I had very bad "allergic" reaction. After various tests docs think it's Lisinopril. I still get severe swelling of eyes which are also red and very itchy. Have been off medicine for almost 3 months but have been told it may take up to 6 months to leave my system so may get these horrible symptoms until it does."


"I have had Mild Psoriasis for about 20 years. I mostly used clobetasol or otc hydrocortisone creams and moisturizers. 2 years ago I had a persisternt flare up that did not respond to topical. I started Otezla 18 months. I had Psoriasis lesions on my knees elbows and ankles only. I started laser treatments and Otezla at the same time. I was 95 % cleared after 3 months. I thought it was great but then I started getting lesions in places I have never had before. I had severe lesions on hands and on plantar aspect of feet.  Otezla stopped working for me. I restarted laser treatments and that really helped, after 1 month my lesions are 75% improved.  I got use to Gastrointestinal side effects but I have decided to stop Otezla."


"I started using Nuvaring 3 months ago, I've experienced breakthrough bleeding, mood swings and depression, decreased libido and dryness. It is very convenient not having to remember taking a pill everyday, but my sex drive went from very, very high (before the ring), to nothing. I hadn't noticed it until my boyfriend told me he felt like I didn't want him anymore. I'm going to try it for another month to see if things get better, if not I'm taking it out. I absolutely cannot live without my sex drive. To me the cons outweigh the pros."


"I was diagnosed with ulceratis colitis at 38, started on Asacol pills for about 4 years with several side effects including distinctive darkening of the blood. I was told by a family friend that the condition could potentially be harmful to internal organs.  I asked GI to switch me to Canasa suppositories (Mesalamine)  I noticed a significant difference with more energy and less UC problems. I have been on the Canasa for about 10 years now and I have been able to reduce from once a day (1000 mg suppository) to as needed only (2-3 x wk.).  I don't like taking meds at all so I have been changing my diet to natural organic whole foods, veggies, nuts and grains, juicing, etc. "


"I'm 12, and I've taken Zoloft for about three months now. It has helped with my anxiety, a lot, but the side effects are horrible. My depression has worsened, it has disrupted my sleep patterns, and I'm never hungry anymore. I'm also taking Concerta (I have ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome, Depression, Anxiety issues, and signs of mild OCD)."


"I got Nexplanon inserted in my arm in March 2015 two days after my period ended and I love it. I haven't gotten my period since then, I don't bloat, no headaches and no cramps. I haven't gained weight with this implant ether. Every body is different so don't base your judgement of this on one bad review or one good review. It takes 10 seconds to insert and remove so try it and if it doesn't work well with your body, remove it. I personally love it, and it lasts 3 years."


"I have been taking Prozac (fluoxetine) for about a month now. I'm 15 and I am taking it for anxiety disorder and depression. So far it has been working. I have not been at all depressed for a while. It took about a week and a half for it to start making a difference. I noticed that I'm more calm when it comes to stress. I like it. I'm taking 10mg at the moment. The only complaint I have about it, is that I have noticed an increase in appetite, which I hate."


"I've been having bad stomach aches for the past 6 days, finally realized it was constipation. My boyfriend went to the 24hr CVS and got me some   MOM around 330am, took 4tbs at 410 had a bottle of water, felt the urge to go 30 minutes later"


"During the ten days on Provera I was emotional, my boobs hurt severely, my face broke out like crazy, and I had horrible fatigue. Two days after the 10 days of taking Provera, I have the worst period I have ever had in my entire life. Having to change my pad/ tampon every single hour was disgusting, I couldn't even enjoy a shower because even afterward I still bled non stop. Each day that passes, the heavier my period gets. Today is my 6th day, and 4,5,&6 where heavy as hell, but 5&6 had excruciating cramps. And too many blood clots! :( I do not recommend this pill at all."


"Worked like a charm. No pain, just some warning cramps. Took 1.5tbps, worked in less than 3 hrs. Will use again"


"I am losing a lot of hair meaning it is coming off in clumps so I rated it low. It has worked on cravings and I like the "safety net" of taking the injection as it prevents me from making an impulsive bad decision. I wish I could continue taking these injections"


"Variant asthma, chronic, have been on many antihistamines and other costly asthma medicines over the years.  I began taking Benadryl in late November 2011. Taking 25 mg after awakening in the morning followed an hour or so later with 25 mg with another 25mg early afternoon (when symptoms occur) and 25 mg prior to bedtime in conjunction with Symbicort twice/day. I have a much improved quality of life and am beginning to have some control over the chronic cough. "


"I switched from Depro shots to Nexplannon because we were moving.  I have been bleeding almost non-stop for 8 months. I had it removed today.  It took me almost two months to see a new gyno after the first appointment "mistake" of not being able to remove the thing."


"Errin was great for me for 9 months until I stopped breastfeeding my son. He just turned 10 months and I just found out I'm pregnant! I've always taken it at exactly the same time of day and haven't missed a pill without using a backup method of protection.

Surprise!"


"Immediately after I took the first pill I was nauseated, it didn't matter if it was taken with food at all. I was feeling faint & dizzy and definitely not in the mood for anything. I tortured my body for 6 days and I couldn't bring myself to swallow another pill on day 7. I was constantly feeling crappy and a few times I did throw up...I've been off bc for over 15 years and I just continue to use condoms! Ps I only started it to regulate my period and I had just finished my period and started that Sunday, I've been off the pill for 3 days after only taking it for 6 days and I'm bleeding again ! So I had a period on august 30th and I'm now on my period again and it's September 12th ! 13 days apart !!! NEVER AGAIN"


"Please be sure to have the intrathecal pump CATHETER x-rayed if you are having NO benefit whatsoever. The catheter may be kinked since insertion."


"Delighted to hear others have benefited by taking Mirapex, I have had very mixed results. It certainly has alleviated my symptoms connected with Restless Legs Syndrome. But the relief came with a price. I became so nauseated that I was up all night, so after three nights I had to stop taking the medicine. I found Percocet the ideal replacement."


"I was changed from Wellbutrin XL 150, to Bupropion HCL SR. I have gained weight since the change. I feel better, but don't need the extra weight. Is this drug causing it?"


"I am a 63 year old male who has been experiencing eczema on the face for close to a year now. I was prescribed Elidel and use it at least twice a day to keep the eczema in check.  It doesn't go away completely, but does calm it down."


"I've had horrible cyst acne for years started taking accutane 3 months ago am completely clear now.

Bad points joint pain dry skin and lips

Get yourself blistex relief cream works wonders for your lips"


"Today is my second day of the BC and it had no side effects yesterday (the first day) but today I feel extremely emotional all day at school.  Everything bothered me then I came home and  got all mad for nothing then started crying about nothing  and  now I'm in a really talkative mood. Its weird I'm 18 and I'll keep you updated%u263A"


"Been on farxiga 11 months. A1C went up instead of down.  Horrible yeast infections.  I did lose 10#. Have to go off because of unacceptable side effects. Love the weight loss."


"I have been on Victoza since March 3 2010. I had previously been on Byetta. Byetta didn't seem to be working for me anymore so my doctor wanted to try me on Victoza. It has made a big change my blood sugars are around 120 verses near 200. I have lost a total of 24 lbs since March 3rd  and I feel great and life is good. It seems like I am hardly ever hungry  and when I do eat I am full very quickly. Something I would definitely recommend to another diabetic!"


"I had a kidney stone and Toradol was the only medicine that relieved the pain. Morphine did nothing."


"After operation of retina detachment and removal of silicon oil my wife had been injected with two injections in her eye viz. Avastin Inj twice. But the situation did not improve. Doctor advised to give ozurdex injection. She was given one ozurdex injection. After giving ozurdex injection the cornea started eroding. She first faced with conjuctivities and redness in her eye after two months of this injection. She is now having a blurred vision/hazzy and cornea erosion and it is deteriorating and having redness and irritation in her eyes. This ozurdex injection is useless and not reliable. This destroyed our hope and life."


"I recently suffered a really bad cycle of my lingering depression and my doctor prescribed Abilify to go along with the Zoloft I've was already on.  I have to say, after only 3 weeks of taking 2.5 mg, I see a tremendous difference in my level of energy and motivation.  I feel alive again.  The only negatives I can mention is that I've had a lot of trouble sleeping, and I tend to feel much more "wired" throughout the day.  But, if that's the trade off for feeling like a human again, I'll take it."


"I take the liquid form of this medicine 10 mL 4 times a day. It helps with GERD and gastroparesis. I started out with the pill version, but I kept having trouble swallowing them and they got stuck in my throat so my doctor was able to get a pre-approval for the liquid Carafate. It works really well and I like that it coats my stomach with all the digestive problems I have. I haven't had any side effects from it, which I am relieved about."


"The taste isn't that Awful however I highly recommend taking it cold and I swished ginger ale in my mouth after each chug and the spit it out.  Helped with the taste.  It kicked in really quickly. Like 15 minutes after I finished drinking it.   It's been 2 hours and I'm still going but it's clear.  I would suggest living in the bathroom for a few hours.  I couldn't go far with out having to go that first hour.    I didn't have any cramps or bloating or any other side effects.   If anything I feel better than I did before I started.  The prep and all that water sort of filled me up."


"Horrible! If I could rate a 0 I would. Started having headaches ( I never ever have headaches), got my period for 10 days 6 weeks in, bp went from 100/60 to 158/98.  Missed 2 doses so I followed the directions and upon taking them and my normal dose shit hit the fan. I couldn't breathe, my heart was racing, and my bp went through the roof. I was sent to er ( after my first 2 visits) to get checked for a PE, have had a million tests done, several ekg's and have an spot with a cardiologist.  I have been waiting for the drugs to get out of my system (the half life is about a month) and I am light headed have the worst anxiety ( never ever had it before so it really hard to deal with which is making it worse), really jittery and and not happy."


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


"Works but I have the lining of the patch still and it looks like a scar!  It's been 3 weeks and it still hasn't gone away!"


"I don't know how much money my doctor get for the prescribing this bad birth control shot to me .I hope it's worth it .I hate it have bleeding non stop, mood swings, hot flashes .She did not even worn me about side effect."


"I've had nexplanon since February of 2015. I got it for birth control but more importantly to try to regulate my periods because they were so painful and heavy for me in the past. The side effects I've experienced is the irregular periods. It made my periods lighter and less painful but they lasted longer. I bled off and on for nearly two months so I went to the doctor and they put me on the pill to attempt to regulate my period. It worked for a little bit but now they're back to being irregular but they aren't as long as they were. I also experienced a pain at the insertion site and still do occasionally. Emotional side effects I've experienced would be mood swings and sometimes sadness. All of my symptoms are tolerable. I'm glad I got it."


"Out of all three shots the third shot hurt the most.  The first shot felt like a normal shot while the second stinged just a little, but the third shot my arm hurt for about 3 to 4 days.  Overall I think that its worth it because it is for the best."


"When I took it,  it was for a severe headache.  It took the headache away but I experienced pretty much all of the side effects such as : faintness, dizziness, and nausea"


"Had pain in my stomach about 20 to 30 minutes after eating for the last 3 years. Was not taking any medications for my stomach but my husband was taking zantac so one day I asked him if it would help me. He didn't know so I would looked it up and found it helped a lot of conditions similar to mine. I realize I need an endoscopy but until I can make an appointment zantac is helping me a lot and I'm not suffering the continuous 24-hour pain that it had gotten to be over the last 6 months. Wish I had not waited so long to inquire about this medicine"


"I am 52 years old I have endometrosis and have been on Loestrin for many years.   I take it continuously to keep from flooding and cramping.  Not having a period is wonderful.  "


"Norflex has affected  my speech. Sometimes I  can't get  the words  out of my  mouth"


"Been using for 8 months on right big toenail and left and right smallest toenail.  Applying everyday faithfully, no results.  Pay $40 a month copay.  What a rip off.  Do not buy and do not waste your money.  Why are doctors prescribing this medication when it is not working for so many people?  Of course, they get money off this also.  So many desperate fools out there being exploited once again by the medical profession.  One doctor told me point blank--"you will never get rid of this problem."  He was right.  DO NOT BUY JUBLIA!!!!"


"Lexapro had no effect on me. I took it for 6 mos and I felt the same as I did when I started taking it.... Did not help me feel better."


"Just finishing 2 months on Egrifta. 1st month not remarkable but at the 6 week mark I'm noticing a change. It seems as if the visceral fat has reduced and moving to sub-q fat. I've maintained the same diet, medication and work out schedule. Just about 7 lbs weight loss but not sure it's the egrifta. Will check in at the 3 month mark."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This stuff is DISGUSTING!  I have an iron stomach and it took a true battle of will to keep this stuff down. The first cycle was bad but doable. No cramping and it started working within 20 minutes. I ate light the day before which paid off bc I was totally cleaned out within two hours. Now onto the second dose.....

Waking at 4am to drink what tastes like sweaty stomach bile, almost did me in. I had to choke back all the liquid and again, 20 minutes later I was going. Only took about 30-45 minutes to clean me out totally bc I was pooping yellowish clear which is the goal I hear

I was surprised it wasn't "explosive " as I anticipated something out of dumb and dumber but it was. The pooping is the easy part!"


"Never written a review but this product is sensational. Best creme on the market, doesn't irritate skin and very effective for preventing and healing acne. Works well on face but even better on chest/back I found. Just a few heads up. Don't use with any hydrogen peroxide based products(moisturizer creme etc) at this will temporarily turn your skin brown. Also don't apply too much at a time as it takes a long time to absorb(it will be visible for a short period).

After using accutane I thought that was the only thing that could really help acne but this works almost as well"


"I have a history of frequent headaches and mild dizziness. Recently developed severe 24/7 dizziness and head. Was bedridden for almost 3 months. Chronic migraine and vestibular migraine suspected. Started 120 mg verapamil and within days both headaches and dizziness started to improve. Within a few weeks was able to go back to work part time. Still not 100% but will be increasing dose and hoping for continued improvement. This medication has literally given me my life back!"


"Very effective, improved breathing in first two doses. On the 3 and 4th day too strong, making me feel sick again and causing diarrhea."


"I've been taking Gildess for about 11 months now. I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, so my periods are normally very far and few. I was prescribed Gildess to regulate my periods, but mainly to help with PMDD. Since taking Gildess, it has helped tremendously with my anger/depression. My mood swings are gone, but I've gained 40 pounds! One of the side effects of this med is weight gain and cravings for carbs and sweets. I like what Gildess has done for my mood, but I hate the weight gain. That may be a factor in me stopping this medication soon."


"Was prescribed xanax (alprazolam) for GAD. First few months were a godsend. After I became dependent on them, the doctor- apparently not understanding the slightest thing about dependence- upped the dosage several times. I noticed that my anxiety seemed to be getting worse and I was afraid to leave the house- a problem I had never had before. Took me a while to realize the elephant in the room- it was the "anti-anxiety" drugs! After withdrawing from the drugs- which fortunately was easy compared to the nightmare I have seen some people describe, I noticed I felt less anxious and in general, more "alive". If you feel like your anxiety isn't improving after long term benzo use- the root of your problem may be the drugs themselves!"


"Prozac is an amazing medicine. I was severely depressed and saw no light at the end of the tunnel. My anxieties and depression were slowly killing me. I couldn't eat, sleep, or be still with myself. My doctor prescribed Prozac. First 20mg then 40mg. It took about 30 days before I noticed a big change in mood. My situation never changed, but the way I looked at it did and I felt hope and got a warm feeling. The side effects are manageable. My libido has decreased slightly, but I am still able to achieve orgasm. I have not had any weight gain.  I've been on Prozac for about 8 months now. It's been a life saver for me. I just started CBT counseling with a psychologist so I can learn to think and react differently to/about some things."


"Forxiga has help with diabeties , weight loss.

Only downfall is that I am suffering with thrush nearly all the time now."


"Forced onto this medication via a CTO. Delusions are still strong and troublesome. Doctors have no idea how to treat this condition. Side effects include insomnia, anxiety, constantly feeling sick and have therefore lost weight. This medication is completely ineffective and it is easier to live with the delusions without the negative side effects."


"it help with the pain but as far as the side effects my heels feel horrible feels like pins and needles worse feeling ever"


"It worked wonderfully in my case! I've had learning difficulties and anorexia since the second grade. Forty or so years the disorder has been binge/purging with laxatives. Cutting myself when my weight ballooned. In January 2016 my primary care giver placed me on Vyvance. It was wonderful. I would wake up and food was not the first thing on my mind! I was able to focus on meal planning and my life felt like it had order! I could finish a task and not skip around. Unfortunately my doctor was more concerned about my weight than my being able to focus so she took me off the medicine that has help me more than anything I've ever taken!"


"I am huge fan of this drug I've been on it nearly 2 months and it took 6 weeks to work for me not a minute sooner.
I've read a few reviews and loads of low reviews are people who took it for 3 weeks etc but  it needs a chance to get into your system.
It's changed my life totally I feel normal again first time in years.
My advice give it 2 months if nothing it's not for you.
Cheers"


"I have been taking Tax for 6months. I won't lie having a mastectomy was easier then the meds, but the alternative is worst . My biggest complaint is fatigue and moodiness , training for an Half Ironman has it's challenges but I think the daily training helps me in so many ways, I don't have joint pain and other major SE.

I like the open discussion format as Doctor's are really up in all of the side effects as each person is different . It is nice to hear from others the mood swings , thought I was gong crazy... Hard on family for sure.

I just keep on trucking ... Good to hear from others."


"I enjoyed Evekeo.  It was great when it came to improving focus.  I also have shift work disorder so for me stimulants are great as they help me overcome the hump I hit every morning when I just want to go to bed and sleep all day.  My wife complained that I was getting really hard to live with compared to normal.  I knew I was more irritable than normal.  Over the 5 months I took it I did feel like the level of irritabilty and arguementativeness was steadily increasing.  Stopped taking when my wife told me I was starting to become unbearable.   I usually get 2 migraines a year but while on evekeo I had 3 in 5 months."


"I have been on Tenuate for 3 months now and have lost 33 pounds, and I couldn't be happier. Though there is a lot of hard work involved in exercising and making sure to eat right, but I would recommend Tenuate to anyone who needs to lose a significant amount of weight."


"Ella was really the only option for me (over weight and wouldn't have been able to get plan b soon enough and didn't have bc pills yet) and I did have unprotected before finally putting a condom on. I took it three days after and about two hours after I was dizzy like I have never been before. Thankfully it lasted for about 2-3 hours. My period came on time but there was some spotting (barely) before and the cramps, oh god were they terrible. I was curled up on the kitchen floor at one point trying to make toast (I usually have bad cramps, just made them about two times as bad as normal). My roommate had a similar experience with plan b making cramps worse. So from my experience, ella works. Got my period on time, just more intense cramps."


"At around 14, I went from beautiful ice white skin to a horrible battle zone on my face. My forehead and chin were covered in severe acne. I tried everything. Murad, proactive you name it. I wouldn't take pics, I was so ashamed. Hard enough bein a teen! Long story short, I researched And found that ortho tri cyclen was affective. I requested it before they were gonna put me on Accutane (noooo!) & within 3 months my skin was CLEAR and still is. I was 17, now I'm 22. Sometimes you have to research for yourself and be your own advocate with doctors. If not, I would of been put on accutane. The first week you will be a little nauseated on the pill, but it goes away and your periods are only 3 days long with no cramps! Life saver"


"I LOVE Sprintec! This is my 5th month being on it now. At first, I was a bit moody and went back and forth from having a large to nearly no appetite. My breast were also more tender, but that has passed. My sex drive also had it's "mood swings" as well and that went away as well. The only thing that has continued is mild acne. I haven't gained any weight since on this (which was my main concern) but everyone will be different. My best friend is also on Sprintec and she gained 20 pounds so it really is a case by case thing. Also, I have had migraines my whole life and they are GONE. I have tried everything and this has truly saved my life! So if this is an issue, consider it!"
