"I used Talconex when it first came on the market.  The scratching would keep me up all night and I would use sand paper from the hardware store to file down the hard crust.  I was always bleeding.  I went to the dermatologist again and he told me something new came on the market and told me it works in 75% of the people.  He gave me samples.  I asked if I should file down the crust before applying the samples.  I swear, the next day the crust was gone.  It was like a miracle.  The whole area which had lost its color came back in about a year. I may be 1 of the lucky ones -it never came back -skin clear &soft."


"I have been on Lo loestrin Fe for the past 4 years. My gyno prescribed Gildess when I switched health insurance. I was against switching since my skin was clear and I was content with Lo's mild side effects. I am so glad that I did not read user reviews before switching as I probably would have never tried it....Since switching to Gildess BC, I no longer have break through bleeding,  my sex drive is improved, no break outs have occurred (which was a big concern) but the best part is that I've lost the bloated abdomen! I tried everything for the past 4 years to lose my belly roll. Because BC does cause yeast I stay on a good probiotic but even that never made my belly flat.

** Give it at least 3 mos. for your body to adjust."


"I'm pregnant. I had unprotected sex one time, and took this the next day. I'm now 7 weeks pregnant."


"Husband had rotator cuff surgery and was sent home with an Ambit pump which automatically dispensed timed doses of bupivacaine (and had an option to dispense extra as-needed doses).

He was actually quite comfortable and able to sleep, unlike 3 years ago when the other shoulder was done and this technology/drug was not available. At that time we had only pain pills and ice packs (sleepless nights and miserable days). Compared to then, the pain now was minimal. Yes, he has to remove the small plastic tube from the injection site, but he didn’t have a problem with that. No personality changes, no side effects.

Our experience was quite positive.  He is 56."


"I've been using this medication for 3 days now. The pain from my infection is gone, but the ringing in my ear is still there, and everything is muffled. I am also on an oral antibiotic for tonsilitis and sinus infection as well. Overall I am very happy with this medication.
Only downside is that if I had not had insurance this medication would have cost $101, with insurance it was only $25."


"I have mild psoriasis on elbows; been using Tazorac and/or Metamosone.  Got a 'script for Vectical; the outcome has been quite good.  Still can see some slightly red spots (which helps daily re-treatment), but mostly the skin now appears normal.  I bought a second tube before my coupons expired (see below).

The shock is the price: Without insurance, this would cost $600/tube.  Insurance co-pay was $65, and Vectical has a coupon that pays the co-pay, so it cost me $0."


"I had an ankle injury beginning in Dec 2011, I have had 2 surgeries since.  I used a scooter or a wheelchair to go anywhere.  I had all these excuses why I couldn't lose the weight. I went to the Dr in Dec 2015 & found out my little 5'3" was 289lbs?  My reaction was "when the "F" did that happen & how is that even possible?"  I talked with the Dr about surgery & she said, let's try this medication 1st?  I was reluctant & extremely skeptical but I said ok.  I began taking the Contrave the 1st week of Jan 2016 & this morning (07/01/16), I weighed in at 214. My life is changed forever thanks to this medication. I enjoy my life again & I am always smiling. Best of luck & remember, every journey starts with 1 step! :)"


"The morning after I first took the drops, my eyes itched severely and swelled up quite a bit. I felt ill all day, kind of like when you are coming down with the flu. All the subsequent uses have made my eyes burn and my vision blurry, but I have also noticed in the last few days that I am having serious trouble remembering things. We all are forgetful from time to time, but this is enough that it is disturbing. I don't know if I can or even should keep using the product..."


"Okay, I got my Copper IUD 3days ago. I took 1 alive at 9:30 am then a couple ibpro at 11:00pm. My appointment was moved to 2pm so I ate breakfast then napped and took a couple more ibpro at 1:20pm. During the insertion I knew I had to relax or my walls will tighten up. So I did the breathing thing you see pregnant women do. It was painful but short. The pain felt like a pinch not a cramp. It lasted about 5 seconds.
-I started to cramp about 15min after the insertion so I took some more ibpro every 2-3hrs ( I did not get high or feel dizzy. I normally have 800mg (4pills) when I am on my normal period so I just added 2 pills ). I had sex 5 hours after which was fine. He and I both did not feel the IUD.
- I spotted 3 times that day. Twice the following day."


"I have taken Neurontin for several years, I still get headaches but I find them much more manageable and when I do get one I take Imitrex/Excedrin.   My main trigger is hard fragrances, now if I could just find a way to avoid that, I think that Neurontin would be all I need."


"My son has high functioning autism, obsessive compulsive disorder, aggression disorder, and sensory issues.  He was diagnosed at age 3.  He started Risperidone soon after his diagnosis. It worked wonders for 6 months or so.  His behaviors and meltdowns were better but it did not help with the OCD.  After 3 months we had to increase the dose and his symptoms started to get worse gradually.  Then at 6 months he started to tell us he had ants crawling on him and his heart was beeping.  He went through heart tests and they were fine.  The doctor said that the medicine was causing him to see things and maybe have anxiety to have rapid heart rate.  He was taken off and put on Prozac which didn't help and now he's on Zoloft and Abilify which aren't doing anything."


""Cymbalta" has helped me, but it has not completely got rid of the suicidal thoughts. However...it has really helped with the depression."


"I had cataract surgery 7 days ago. Diamox is very effective to reduce the pressure in the eye but the problem is side effects. I had no appetite, constipation and hearing loss. I am hoping it will go away in few days. Anybody out there had similar experience, please share with us. Thanks."


"After a couple of years of trying to cope on my own with PTSD, the symptoms became overwhelming, so I sought help. How glad I am that I did. Wellbutrin has been amazing for me. For some lucky people, it takes effect very quickly, and that was the case for me: within three days, my profound sadness and paralyzing pervasive sense of despair was gone, replaced by a cheerful, calm outlook. I was stunned by the radical change! Suddenly, I had energy, was able to again face daily challenges, and once again look forward each night to the next day. I haven't felt like this in years! The old me is back! Side effects - nightmares & tremor in arms - were minimal & only during 1st week."


"This is definitely my miracle drug.  It allows me to continue working and even seems to have a slight mood elevator.  I have suffered from fibromyalgia for years and the only other pain relievers I have found to help also made me drowsy and unable to function mentally.  The only thing I notice from tramadol is relief.  I have a sister with fibromyalgia and it doesn't help her in the least so you just have to try it and see."


"I was on Lupron twice for endometriosis.  The first time I had hot flashes and headaches, after I got off they went away.  The second time I had the same side effects, except when I got off of Lupron the headaches did not go away and turned into migraines.  Now I have had migraines for 16 years since being off of Lupron.  I was never plagued with headaches before Lupron.  My doctor said I always had the trigger for migraines and Lupron flipped the switch on.  If I knew then what I know now, I would have taken a different approach to treating my endometriosis.  Having endometriosis and migraines together was worse.  Now I'm in menopause and going through everything to the nth degree."


"I was on birth control pills (Ortho Tricyclen Lo) for about 7 years. My DR told me I have high blood pressure. She thought it would be a good idea to get off the birth control pills to see if that was the main cause of the high blood pressure & recommended that I go on Depo instead.  She told me I could get the shot right there and then, and then I would have to come back in 3 months and get another shot. I have only been on Depo for 2 months. The first month I never got my period. The second month I've had my period for 3 weeks. I can't have sex because I'm bleeding, I'm crabbier/moodier then usual. I can fall asleep just fine but I wake up at 5am every morning and can't fall back to sleep. Never had this happen before."


"I have had the nexplanon for 3 years now. No weight gain. Acne is just as bad. My periods last weeks to months. AND I bleed huge blood clots. (Sorry TMI but I thought I had a miscarriage once because of it) I am an emotional wreck. Like it makes me cry over the littlest things. I overreact and my depression and anxiety are horrible. It has done its job not to get me pregnant but I hate it so much. And waking up with a headache everyday is killing me."


"I'm on week 6 of Prozac and it saved my life. I went through a semester of major life changes (engagement, graduation, moving across country, major weight gain from stress, living with fiancee's parents, and stopped being able to see my friends) which resulted in me becoming severely depressed. I've NEVER been depressed in my life I'm the most bubbly person ever. Well when I started to get into a deep black hole and also having suicidal ideation (never had before) I decided to go to the doctor. She started me on 10mg for 4 weeks and with some change (75% better) we decided to try 20mg for 100%. I'm only on week 6 of being on prozac all together and it saved my life, my relationship and my joy. PLEASE give it time. I'm praying for you all!"


"I developed generalized anxiety disorder seemingly out of nowhere after taking prednisone for an infection, and for three months felt like I could barely function, the physical and mental symptoms were so all-encompassing. My docs suggested Lexapro but I wasn't depressed, just anxious; I did some internet research on my own and asked that they try me on Buspar instead. SO GLAD I did. I've been on it for six years now and I feel totally normal, like I used to before the anxiety set in. I've never noticed any side effects to speak of, besides the weird flushed dizziness when I first started taking it, which went away after a couple of weeks. On 22.5 mg per day but I miss doses all the time, to very little effect. Amazing med."

"This drug did regulate my period, but it also increased my anxiety and sent me to the ER with a massive panic attack. I have always had minor generalized anxiety disorder, but never any panic attacks so severe. They did every test possible to rule out a stroke! If you take this and start to notice an increase in anxiety, I suggest you talk to your doctor."


"Just wanna say Demerol is the best pain reliever I've ever taken. I received in the ER through IV. I have Crohn's disease and it worked better then anything else I was given."


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"Had hard time pretty much since second day. Some people stated you should eat first. Unfortunately,  that makes me want to vomit after taking it. No diarrhea (I took probiotics and ate activia), but weird stools (very dark and frequent). I think my bowels are empty at this point. Appetite gone. Lost almost 10 pds. Difficulty sleeping due to nausea and gas pains. Threw up twice. Little energy. Headaches. Feeling stressed and somewhat depressed at times. Crying bouts in middle of night. What I described wasn't constant. It came and went throughout the day, but nights were hardest for some reason. Tomorrow is final day. Can you survive it? Yes. Is it hard? For sure. If h.pylori is gone, then it's worth it. Be strong."


"I've been on Pristiq for 8 weeks and believe me, I have never felt better in my life. It works, no side effects. I'm a happy person now. The only thing I wouldn't do is to take Pristiq at night time. I take it at 8:00am, so I don't have sleeping problems. Try it this way. This medicine is wonderful. GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY."

"I'm only on my 3rd dose, but this is the first day in over a month that I have not had severe gastrointestinal pain/constipation/diarrhea, etc. I actually feel pretty good, but weak.

First med was Cipro and that was a nightmare even though I've taken it before with no problems. Had to stop halfway through the 10 days. I was switched to Levofloxacin(Levoquin) and by the 3rd day of 5, I was not feeling human at all. I was just deathly ill and pain increased.

Yesterday I was given Augmentin 500 twice daily for 10 days. Took the first pill last night, 2nd this morning. I feel human again so far!

Time will tell. I'm just hoping I get none of the bad side effects. Already treated a yeast infection earlier this week from the other meds."


"I as well had a severe migraine that was 2 days old. Went to ER and she said, let's try reglan and bene. I said do whatever.

Withing 20 secs of the IV, I literally froze. My heart was beating insanely, my brain was doing 100, and my body froze. I couldn't move if someone pointed a gun at me. I tripped out so bad. She tried talking to me and I didn't even answer. So she said the lights would turn off and get some sleep. I finally could move my fingers to text my then bf, please come lol.

I was pregnant years after and with that came migraines. Went to my doctor and she said, Let's try Regl-...I stopped her and said like hell! She just did benadryl and Tylenol 3 pills. Good lord. That drug is for the devil I'm sure."


"Was on Saxenda for a month. Started seeing weight loss. Went to fill prescription and it was the normal 1000.00 . The savings card is for only $35.00 off. So needless to say make sure you can either afford it or your insurance covers it before trying it."


"I was diagnosed with ocular migraines.  I could not drive without getting sick and see correctly.  I was prescribed topamax 2 weeks ago.  I am a taking 25 mg in am/pm and and I am down 4.5 lbs.

I did not know this was a weight loss drug too until I saw I lost weight.  For me, it's a bonus.  I just want to be able to drive and not be sick.

At work, I have to be careful what I type in emails because I have a dopey effect but I can deal with that as long as I function in other areas of my life.  I have noticed beer does not taste good so I cannot drink that any longer.  I thought it was bad beer until I read something about how our brains are functioning differently on topamax ."


"I have been on Nexplanon for a year and I absolutely love it.  It seems to me this really effects everyone different.  I have had minor weight gain which I am going to attribute more to my less than active lifestyle, (less than ten pounds).  I had super heavy periods before Nexplanon and after they are light an do vary a bit but are still fairly regular.  I am not any more moody then I was or tired than I was.  When it was injected it barely hurt and I could feel it in my arm but it never has caused pain.  I recommend this to anyone looking  for something easy and effective.  I will continue to use this birth control until I am ready for kids because it works for me but like I said I think it effects everyone differently."


"I loved it. I have had it for 3 years now and about to get a new one. Getting it inserted was actually pretty simple, other than a little soreness I was good to go. I only got my period every few months and it last about a week and a half but was extremely light.  I did not experience any of the side effects, I even lost a little weight, but I cannot confirm if it was from the Implanon.  It is not even noticeable in my arm unless I tell someone to actually touch it, no scar either. It has been the least expensive and most effective birth control I have taken.  No more pill popping every day here."


"I've been taking Desogen for almost 1 year now. I get it from Planned Parenthood for about 20 dollars. The only side effects I have seen are a slight headache at the onset of my period and sometimes moodiness around that time as well (I guess it is to be expected anyways). Other than that, I do get dark freckles now when out in the sun. They don't seem too bad now, but if it gets worse I will switch. This is why I changed from my last brand (think it was Estrostep) because it caused bad facial discoloration whenever I went out in the sun! Looked like I had a mustache for months!"


"This medicine works, but has side effects. Four out of five people that I know, including myself, who have taken this medicine have had ORAL THRUSH.  Some of us had no pain, but others got huge white patches in their mouth and they hurt.  In my case I didn't, but it was weird looking."


"I'm 62 years old and had been smoking since I was 12. For financial and health reasons decided it was time to quit. With the help of Chanix, I was able to quit after 3 weeks on the medication, I continued to take it for another 2 weeks before stopping it all together. Glad to say I am nicotine free for 7 months now. Not going to say at times I don't want a smoke but being able to tell myself I don't smoke and don't have to smoke is what I couldn't do in the past. So thank you, Chanix."


"Switched from Amitriptyline to Nortriptyline because I was told the side effects were less severe. My vision was already altered because of Amitriptyline so I am unsure for Nortriptyline contributes. The side effects of hostility and aggression have lessened. However the sweating is still constant. Sleeping is okay, just have a hard time falling asleep. The overall experience outweighs the headaches. I am thankful my migraines and daily headaches have lessened"


"I have been on the NuvaRing since June 2011 and I love it. It's simple and easy to put in and remove. My periods are lighter and shorter (smiley face). I chose this birth control because I couldn't remember to take the pill and the shot and insertions of birth control reviews were horrible. The only small thing I'm not really comfortable with is the vaginal secretion and sometimes I get headaches right before I'm supposed to remove it. But other than that its great. No suprise pregnacy and believe me their have been some times where I was scared and nervous that I was. I'm 22 now and my potential boyfriend that I've been with on and off for about 4 yrs now loves it too. So to top it all off NuvaRing is GREat and AFfORDable."


"I tried trazadone for insomnia for a week then stopped. First 150, then 200 and finally 300mgs. That was the worst week sleep wise in recent memory. I would fall asleep after about an hour but only stay asleep for an hour, then it would be 2-3 hours of trying to get back to sleep only to wake up after an hour once again. Back to seroquel, aaaaarg!:("


"I took Suprep at 6pm after a day of liquid diet.  Yes, they need to make this better tasting, and a smaller amount would be great but no cramping, no vomiting, yes to slight nausea. 45 mins after taking my first dose I was in the bathroom for approx 2 hrs (wish I had realized I wouldn't be coming out for that time, could hardly make it to the door.)  Yellow but not completely clear.  I was able to sleep from 10:30 to 3:15. My second dose was at 3:30 am and was much harder to get down but started working right away.  By the time I left at 6 am to go check in discharge was clear yellow with some mucus."


"Benicar HCT was effective in bringing my readings down to normotensive but it came with side effects:GERD, abdominal discomfort and generalized malaise. My doc switched me to Loasartan  (another ARB) without thr duuretic and so far it' working great at maintaining my BP in the normotensive range. The added bonus: Losartan doesn' t carry the high risk for villous atrophy that Benicar does, nor does it have the high cost ...a win/win in my book!"


"I was put on Abilify a month ago. I have always been manic/ depressive. I suffered post traumatic stress in Iraq in 2007. {I said NOTHING and am still serving as a National Guardsman}. I work law enforcement during the week. I USED to sleep all day on my first day off, it was a struggle to do ANYTHING on my second day off. Since I have been on Abilify my life has done a 180 degree turn. I feel so much better. I get up and face the world every morning at 6-8 am. I feel like a new person."


"I took this medicine 2  years ago and lost 60 pounds in about 3-4 months.  Unfortunately, I stopped taking the medicine and started dating and off course we ate all the time.  I have recently started taking the medicine again and I have already lost about 25 pounds.  One thing I can say, on other medicines, if I stopped taking them, they didn't work when I restarted them.  This medicine is not like that, if you take it...it works.  My blood sugar is below 100 most of the time and I was at the point where the doctor wanted to put me on insulin.  I have more energy and find myself actually looking for something to do, rather than sit and watch TV or take a nap because I'm so tired.  I hope that one day, the company will let me be their spokesperson"


"Initially, my Dr. told me that most bronchitis is caused by virus. He send me home and said I need rest and lots of liquids. But the pains and cough got 100 x times within 12 hours.  Husband drove me to ER; they gave my Amoxicillin, and I feel so much better already..,.!!"


"I have felt sick ever since I started this med as if I have 24 hour flu bug, yet it won't pass? Any suggestions? I'm desperate for help I hate to quit on this since it was so costly."


"I have been taking this drug for 1 day now for reoccurring tonsillitis/ pharyngitis/ cough and associated lower respiratory problems such as trouble breathing because of phlegm and what not. I am suffering very bad side affects from this drug, however It is very effective. I am suffering extreme nausea almost straight away from taking it (I'm on it twice a day for a week.) , increased heart rate (120 at resting) palpations, very bad shakes, extreme fatigue, however no muscle pain like other symptoms and will see if I get the nightmares like everyone else also. Very hard on the system but if it gets rid of this infection I will be delighted, will consider coming off the drug if side effects worsen like they are known to."


"I have the iud for about 4 or 5 months now and at first everything was good. I had a little spotting the first week then I didn't have a period until about 2 weeks ago in (February 2016). Oddly enough I have not stopped spotting since the actual period ended (after 5 days). It's ruining my sex life so I am not sure I want to keep it in. The spotting stops for a couple days if that and the starts up again it's brownish pink and is never really heavy but enough for me to notice. It sucks cause I paid 425$ out of my own pocket for this. It was a huge expence."


"I have been using Soolantra for 2 months and honestly it is the best thing I have tried so far. I had papulopustular rosacea (mostly on my cheeks) and now it is almost completely gone. The bumps were gone after roughly 1 month and now the redness is also more than 90% gone. I am just so happy I gave this a try. Also, one thing that you have to keep in mind: GIVE IT TIME. I did see progress from the beginning but also some occasional flare ups. Just stick with it. It's worth it!"


"Upon taking Naproxen, I immediately get dizzy, break out in hives, and become very weak.  But taking Benadryl immediately after the symptoms began relieved all of the symptoms."


"Nexplanon made me gain over 30Ibs. I get ridiculous cravings, crazy mood swings, and all I ever want to do is sit and watch TV since getting it in. I've never had any other kind of birth control, besides the earlier version Implanon, which I thought was better, but still had its flaws, but the hubby and I are considering a vasectomy because my experience with this birth control.

Side effects: Major weight gain, cravings, it made me feel hungrier than I actually was, cramping, boob tenderness to where I thought I may have gotten pregnant, suicidal thoughts, and weird bleeding patterns.

I got it out about 3 weeks ago, and felt a boost in my mood the day after. Still haven't been able to drop any weight though."


"It seems to be helping so far, without having to go through detox."


"After years of levothyroxine, I never felt any improvement. After a little research, I requested a trial of natural thyroid. I felt improvement quickly. When I was assigned a new doctor, she refused to continue the natural thyroid and put me back on the synthetic. Needless to say, I went back to feeling blah. A new doctor was willing to work with me and natural thyroid, and the mind fogs are gone! I feel "normal" once again!"


"Hi, I just thought that I'd add this comment for you. I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, hepatitis, and lupus. But before my diagnoses, with no insurance, I went to the hospital when I couldn't take the pain anymore and was prescribed Ultram 50mg 2x a day. At first I took 1 and then another and so on until I reached six in a 4 hour period. When it finally started working it hit me like a ton of bricks. Needless to say I was pain free. So my advise is start with 2 and wait, it just not an instant relief like codeine. Unfortunately your body does become immune to its effects within abut 3 months. Now I am taking 4 roxicodone a day and also adjusting to that quickly too. Good luck to all of you."


"I have been on this medication for a little less then a month, and as of today I have lost 10lbs!! So the only side affects I have had was being tired and very foggy minded but since the third week both if these side affects have gone away, I was told by the doctor that side effects are very comon for the first 4 weeks then they should go away because your body has adjusted to the med. I still have about 60lbs to loose to be at a healthy weight for my height. I am a 28 year old female whose starting weight was 194 and height is 5ft 6inches. I gained most of my weight from my pregnancys all three of my girls being back to back."


"Took the 24 mg med and feeling lightheaded and dizzy. Blood pressure dropped to 60 and was sent to ICU for observation for several days. My potassium level went up to 6.9 and lab test results show kidney problems. The new cardiologist put me on Metolazone instead to removed excess fluid on lungs and it worked great! No more shortness of breath and no more swelling on the legs, stomach and no excess fluid on lungs. I advised to take a look at it first and do your research before taking this medication.  Good thing I only took it for 6 weeks but that short time did not gave me good results."


"I have had type 2 for about 6 years and used the Metaformin, which with constant usage reduced in its effectiveness. I was told to reduce my Metaformin to 1 per day and take Januvia. I lost 12 KG in 4 weeks, most excellent, and then 2 weeks ago severe pain in my right knee... After many X-rays and MRTs I was diagnosed with Arthritis and told to take pain killers and consider a replacement in the next 10 years.despite both of my doctors knowing that I am diabetic type 2, and both knowing that I take Januvia, they did not inform me of any side effects and so I believed the information and set about studying what I could to to repair the damage..Then I had pain in my Hips, fingers, and cramp in the legs. Googled and found this site..."


"The first day I experienced horrible cramps, went from sweating "


"It's saved my life. Literally been using it for 5 days now and my family and I have noticed a huge change in my skin. I've struggled with acne, zits, pimples, whiteheads and blackheads and everything else for years. A little bit of dry skin but nothing to complain about and I have not experienced any burning or redness. Couldn't be happier. My doctor recommended I use Cetaphil Oil control foam wash and Cetaphil oil control moisture so I use that twice a day (when I wake up and before I go to bed) and then apply Epiduo also before I go to bed."


"Hit or miss correlation with my cystic acne and my diet..... period is only 2 days IF I even have one. I love it."


"I took one as stated on the box approximately 9pm. I have been sat on the toilet since 3 am with the most excruciating stomach cramps and worst diarrhea I have ever had. "


"Works really well but made me very tired all the time.  At least I could sleep well though."


"As soon as I feel any sort of seizure coming on, I need only take a half to a full 0.5 mg dosage. Within 20 minutes, I feel a sense of calmness overcome me...and all of the strange sensations disappearing. For me, I'll get an intense tingling all over my body, my thoughts become rapid, my hands jittery, and heart pounding (as my warning signs.) Clonazepam has the ability to literally take that away..at least for me. It does make you a bit tired, and at times forgetful. But is it not more worth it to be seizure free, and have some sense of security that you will be alright? I've been taking it for two years now, and although I am not a fan of taking medication, period...this is my one exception. I feel much safer knowing I have it on me."


"Hello to all,
 I started Qsymia one week ago on the low dose weighing in at 181. I am a 24 year old mother of 2 and I am 5'2. As of today I am 173.2 :D. I am drinking a gallon or more of water a day with a low calorie diet and I have being going to Zumba for the past 5 days. My only side effect has been having a dry mouth but I do not mind as I maintain hydrated. I started my higher dosage today and will keep you guys posted. I am happy I can share my experience with people who understand where I am coming from."


"Taking Invokana for 3 months now.  My glucose readings are great.  Have to stop taking this miracle medicine though, because I've had a relentless feminine itch since I started it.  I've been suffering through it because it works so well and I can't take Metformin or Onglyza.  Decided I can't take the itching anymore, AND MY HAIR IS STARTING TO FALL OUT.  When I comb my hair I get a huge handful every time.  I've never lost more than a few hairs at a time before.  I sure hope this doesn't continue.  Don't have much more to spare!  I'm also starting to hurt in the kidney area.  Going back to see my doctor."


"I was put on Novolog when I was diagnosed with Type 1 and have loved it ever since. I've never had any negative side effects and when coupled with the Omnipod it is phenomenal for me.

It is important to note however that every person's body is different. My doctor recently had me try Humalog to which I had multiple negative side effects. This does not mean one is better than the other, just that for my own body the Novolog happens to be what it accepts and works with best. You should always tell your doctor how ANY medication makes you feel if you experience negative side effects. For me, the Novolog is a gods send and I love it :)"


"For years I felt terrible most days.  Tired, sleeping by 7pm. No energy, gained weight, was puffy/bloated all the time. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease 9 months ago. My doctor prescribed levothyroxine.  I still didn't feel like myself.  Still no energy, breaking out in sweats (especially at night), always felt bloated.  No relief from my symptoms.  The worst symptom of all was forgetfulness and brain fog.  After reading a page (Hypothyroid Mom) on facebook, I saw how many people had success with Armour Thyroid. She put me on 30mg twice daily.  Now I am hyperthyroid.  Hoping to get this under control soon.  I feel 100 times better on Armour.  And I've lost a little bit of weight!"


"Impossible to keep weight off. Been on my period for 1.5 months. Dry skin. Irrititable mood. Terrible drug. Having it removed. Been on it 4 months"


"I have been taking 10-20 mg of Propranolol for anxiety and racing heart/high blood pressure. It works well, but is a short acting medicine. I take it twice a day and it works well in combination with my other anti-anxiety medicines."


"I used to get Cold Sores rarely, but more stress & it's been a nightmare! On top of that I kept missing work whenever I got breakouts (for a week at a time) because I'm a Spokemodel. I started to get desperate, because I couldn't be reliable for work & started losing huge amounts of my income. Plus Cold Sores are a major bummer to go through.

Finally talked to my Dr. I've been taking only 200mg a day. Then a few days ago, I took a chance and tanned my face & whammo I started getting a breakout. As soon as it came on I dosed up the Acyclovir and iced it for 2hrs. This stopped the sore in it's tracks. It disappeared completely and I am cold sore free! I can't tell you how relieved I am at how well this medicine works!"


"I started Suboxone 2 months ago.  Prior to this I had been abusing painkillers for over ten years, and have been to jail about 5 times over fake prescriptions.  Suboxone is a miracle.  I don't think about getting high anymore, period.  I take two 8mg's a day and I'm happy at that dose.  The only side effects I have are a little constipation and increased sweating.
This is how I feel about taking a drug like Suboxone to treat addiction:  I believe that opioid dependence is a medical disease, and that therefore it will respond to the right medication.  I think an opioid-dependent person using Suboxone is no different than a diabetic person using insulin.  I can't imagine why I wouldn't just take Suboxone the rest of my life."


"7 years ago, my hip pain was so intense I could hardly get up in the morning. I have tried Cymbalta, but went back to Effexor XR. It does the work for me."


"Using for acne and hormonal reasons, works well for skin clearing and regular periods. Does induce some spotting prior to menstrual cycle but others works great with no other side effects."


"Had Kyleena for 1 week now and I feel like I have gained weight, skin is now dry and flakey, and been bleeding and a little crampy since. I switched from Nuva Ring where I had zero symptoms, and now this seems like more problems for me even though there is less horomones... Anyone else with the same problems? I am really sad but since I had to pay $450 with no insurance, I feel like its a waste to not stick it out... Heres hoping it gets better."


"I take 0.125 twice a day (yes, 0.125mg). I know that sounds like a low dose, but it works wonders for me.  I still have some days where I feel a bit anxious and panicky, but all in all those days are getting less and less.  I think if I went up a little on my dose it would probably cure it 100%, but I am currently also trying to learn some cognitive behavior methods, and with that you need to feel some of the anxiety to overcome it.  I really think it has given me my life back.  It does make me a little tired, but that side effect is even going away with continued use.  I am out driving, and doing things I never thought I could ever do again, and I am doing them all by myself.  Life saver!"


"Hey! Girls I want to share my experience to help you guys not be scared like me .... I took plan b on August 30 me and my bf had sex w/ a condom but something ended up happening and it looked like the condom was slipping he told me not to worry cause he feels nothing came out ... But of course I freaked out and I got him thinking twice after an 1hr of having sex we went out and bought the pill $50bucks ... I took it after 1hour or so my boobs felt like melons and my headaches a week past no period the second week I got it I got my period 2 weeks late ! It's okay !! Don't be scared :)"


"I hate this pill. I've been on different pills before and I have never felt like this. I'm throwing up all the time. My appetite has increased heavily. My acne has never ever been this bad. I'm tired all the time and I just feel like shit since taking it. I've been on it for three month now and every new pack is just a horror story. I get a very very light period which really pisses me off. I get it for one day. I hate that I'm the type of person who freaks out if that happens. It makes me so uncomfortable and nervous to basically not get a period. My OB won't change the pill and I'm so fed up with it. I have no motivation at all. I never felt this was before taking this pill. I hate it."


"I was prescribed Neurontin to treat neuropathy caused by chemotherapy.  The chemo had also caused menopause, and that was accompanied by numerous and horrible hot flashes and night sweats.  I honestly felt like I was going to spontaneously combust.  While on the Neurontin, the hot flashes were reduced, but I did not make a connection to the med, and when I was taken off of it (because it wasn't effective for my neuropathy), the hot flashes returned with a vengeance.  While searching online for alternative remedies for hot flashes (I can't take HRT due to cancer), I learned that Neurontin was effective and I made the connection from my previous use of the med.  I went back on it (300mgx3) and the hot flashes are under control again."


"I took Metformin Hcl ER 500 mg 2xday, for 2  years. I never felt quite well w it, especially  the constant fatigue. So I stopped.

Now , 11/16, I was prescribed it again, & almost immediately became lethargic,  weak, plus experienced extreme muscle pain & stiffness in quadriceps (frontal thigh muscles) which caused my legs to become so weak & stiff, walking was difficult."


"I have been taking Savella for about 4 weeks, 2 weeks at 50mg morning and night and have been having lots of side effects, almost flu like symptoms. Weakness, shakes, lightheadedness, cold, then hot. I have been reading lots of reviews, because I didn't think it could be this medicine, but I guess it can be. I work graveyards and I think I might try 50 mg in the morning and 25 mg at night and go from there. I was on Lyrica for 9 yrs and it was so expensive and the Savella is half the copay Lyrica was. I'm not ready to give up on it yet, but I am so hot all the time, but the weight gain from Lyrica was the reason I decided to try Savella since my insurance will cover now. I'm hoping for the best. Good Luck."


"I have been taking this for about to months to see if it would help with the constant yi I was getting with my previous bc, it made it worse , I read some reviews before taking this and read alot of ppl going threw depression but thought to myself its not gonna happen to me , this made me depressed , to the point NOT wanting to commit suicide but thinking omg this is why ppl think about it , I hated my life and there is nothing in my life to be upset about and making this worse was this pill made me COMPLETELY lose my sex drive , no wonder the pill works because it makes not even have the erge to have sex , I stopped taking this pill , I wouldnt recommend this pill to anyone . I only gave it a 7 cuz it did its job"


"I started taking this pill a few months back. The first two weeks were really bad. I bled constantly, acted crazy and called my Dr to get off of it. She asked me to stick with it for a month. So glad I did! I haven't had a period since, which I love. I've lost 6 lbs with no change to my diet and my breasts are up a size! I have so much energy. This pill is amazing. Stick through the first pack. It's tough, but very much worth it."


"I've been taking Pristiq for 3 months. It was working fine. I had to go to 100mg but now it's getting worse."


"Cirpo gave me severe nerve pain in my neck and head less than 24 hours after starting the medication."


"Along with starting XELJANZ XR I've changed my entire diet. Taking on this fight to put myself in remission so that I don't have to live my life with needles, infusions, severe pain, I wanted to find my own path to remove the inflammation, joint pain out of my body. Today has been three successful weeks of living on a plant based diet I've discovered ((it's what we put in our bodies)) that's got us so sick. You must change your diet today. This medication is working! after trying infusions, injections, 7 different pills a day and I still couldn't move, enough of that! This is the best I've ever felt In four years. This medication and diet have changed my life."


"I got anxiety attack and that lead to irritable bowel syndrome. My Dr. recommended Effexor 150mg/day. I used that since 2001. It works well, no problems, makes me happy all time but when I eat something with milk, immediate I have diarrhea."


"I'm on my 3rd week of using epiduo. My skin has improved dramatically. Just waiting for the redness to disappear. Highly recommend"


"Yeah, did this for seven days. Just got out of the hospital after a full body rash (including feet, hands a face, required them to put me on iv antibiotics for two days). Fun times"

"There was no pain at the injection site.  Both my boyfriend and I received the shot and had close to the same experience, except I have been having extreme vomiting, after 2 weeks of getting the shot.  We both experienced a severe headache starting within 30 minutes of receiving the shot that lasted about a day and a half, followed by severe diarrhea that is still going on, three weeks from the time of injection with nausea.  He is having lots of muscle aches still, while I'm having severe pain up one of my legs near the hip.  Neither of us had problems or sickness before the shot that would indicate it was something other than the shot."


"Started Jardiance 3 months ago.  Just had my first follow-up appointment with my doctor yesterday.  A1c dropped from 8.0 to 6.6, fasting BG dropped from 155 to 104, lost 12 pounds and blood pressure was slightly lower.  No side effects other than urinating more than I used to.  Also drinking more water so I'm sure that's part of it.  Also taking Metformin but it seemed to stop working after about 6 months so my doctor added Jardiance.  Feel great and couldn't be happier...25 pounds to go."


"I've had Nexplanon for almost 2 years now, I got it a few months after giving birth. It has worked so far in preventing pregnancy. Here is a list of my side effects.

1. Weight gain: I had lost all my baby weight. Have gained 20 pounds. Not all at once, but gradually. My diet was not the cause of the weight gain, I have not changed my diet. So I'm adding weight gain as a side effect.

2. Depressed mood:  mood swings. I get depressed and in funk a lot easier.

3. Lack of energy:  I have found myself chugging down more coffee to keep afloat. I'm always tired.

4. Low libido: I naturally have high testosterone and was always interested in sex,  but with Nexplanon I'm  not very interested in sex. Like now, I can careless about being intimate."


"this medicine works fairly well, i take the appropriate dosage, no complaints but weight gain."


"I had tried various birth control w HORRIBLE side effects so I decided to give this a try bc there are NO hormones. Insertion was uncomfortable, not painful. I spotted the first few weeks, as expected.
Now I'm back to normal. I've never had kids and don't want them so this was my last resort birth control. I only wish I had known of this option years ago!!!!"


"I started to take Victoza 0.6 mg for weight loss, three weeks ago. After jumping through several hoops with insurance to cover the med, I was hopeful and excited to start this med and get results. First day was awful; headache, fatigue as I have never experienced in my life (shoulders/back/neck), nausea (like at sea), dizziness, blurred vision, constipation, GI issues I've never experienced before, dry mouth/dehydration, nightmares (when able to sleep) night sweats and insomnia. I tried to stick it out (2 HORRIBLE wks) in the hopes the side effects would subside; they got worse. I ended up passing out; hot/cold clammy sweats as if hypoglycemic, yet was not (140). I was taken by ambulance to the ED where I was given 2L fluids... BEWARE!"


"I had to have surgery and have a history of nausea and vomiting so the Dr's put one of these behind my ear. It worked great! No nausea at all. Since pain pills also make me sick I got a prescription for 3 patches to bring home with me. No problems so far!"


"Was on Apri for 9 months.  No major issues while taking it until 3 weeks ago when I was diagnosed with a massive pulmonary embolism.  Testing was performed and the root cause pointed towards Apri.  Many articles online linking Apri (3rd generation) to PE's.  Do your research before taking this pill, wish I did!"


"Been on six a day lot of help. don’t feel much better after 2 years on them they don’t do enough for you there is drug called the liquid gold I have spoke to people they are normal again no aches pains stiffness etc. But only the queen and Simon Cowell and rich will get them I been told it’s costs £36000 per year for years course of tablets !"


"I have been taking Generess FE for almost a year now. I was on Sprintec before, and my periods were somewhat irregular and very heavy, so heavy that it worried me. With Generess, my periods have GONE AWAY completely. This worried me at first (of course), but my doctor said for some women, it's normal not to get your period on this pill. I see the same symptoms of PMS when I'm reaching the placebo pills (emotions are high, sometimes acne, the normal stuff), but I never go through a period at all anymore. This is a welcome change, for me. Aside from that, I have no side effects that I have noticed. I'm very happy on this pill. I am 30, somewhat overweight and in generally normal health. My doctor said swallowing it is fine (not chewing)."


"I have been taking Trinessa for 6+ years now. It's an effective contraceptive with many added benefits. I use it for contraception & abnormal/painful cycles. There was only one BIG problem for me with it. Here are the ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES for me: ~PROS:~ (#1) It completely REGULATED my cycles. I can accurately estimate on which days it will start and end, and the bleeding is FAR less (in quantity and frequency). (#2) It SHORTENED my cycles. They only last about 4-5 days now, and is much more easily managed. (#3) It REDUCED the pain! It still hurts, but it no longer interferes with daily life. (#4) It is FREE with insurance! ~CONS:~ (#1) I actually VOMITED every day for the 1st YEAR. That really disrupted my life, but it's FINE now!"


"I took 3mgs of Zyprexa, contained in Symbyax, nightly for about 6 years. The medicine worked well for the first 2 to 3 years. Around year four I started having severe side effects and did not realize it was from the Zyprexa as it had been working so well.  I suffered with increasing seizures for about three more years. Bad ones. I wound up in the hospital emergency room and it was the ER doctor that informed me that the Zyprexa was causing the problem. My regular doctor denied Zyprexa as a contributing factor to my seizures. I quit the Zyprexa cold turkey. To say the least it was an absolutely horrible experience. Wean off this drug over a long period of time and even then get ready for horrendous withdrawal symptoms after your last dose."


"I had migraines for years before I finally was sent to a neurologist.  He gave me a samples of many of the prescription migraine medications that are out there now and many of them, including Imitrex, just did not work or made me really fatigued.  Zomig worked really fast and I have no side effects at all.  If I can take it as soon as I can feel the headache coming on, it is gone before I really realize it."


"I took one dose and ended up in the ER with a horrible pounding, predominately right sided migraine. Along with about 6 hours of vomiting. It had to have been the worst migraine of my life."


"It should be ILLEGAL to prescribe this drug.

I have tried most antidepressents and never have i experienced such atrocious side effects from withdrawing.

I have never written a review on anything but i was compelled to share the experience.

again, it should be illegal to prescribe effexor xl."

"I started on Prempro on September 2, 2013 for my night sweats, hot flashes and mood swings. I was on it for almost two months. The first month was fine, but during the second month I developed way too many severe side effects. I had: swelling of hands and ankles, breast enlargement and pain,

severe bloating, vaginal irritation, acne, my mood swings worsten, and I gained a lot weight gain. The night sweats and the hot flashes got better, but the side effects were much worst then the night sweats and hot flashes. I started on Healthy Woman Soy Menopause Supplement and it took care of the night sweats and hot flashes without all of the other side effects. This drug is definitely not for everybody and my advice would be to listen to your body!"


"Have been using this for 2 years. It does work to control the areas but only while using it. When I stop the spots come back as normal. Thankfully it does temporarily work"


"Was prescribed this after a 5-day, then a 7-day course of a different antibiotic each time led to bronchial symptoms (with increased body temperatures) never fully going away and strongly reasserting themselves in a few days. The 500mg tablets are a pain to swallow (you need lots of water to flush them all the way down) and, as most respondents report, cause a permanent nasty bitter taste in the mouth. However, by Day 3 I was feeling much better and now mid-way through Day 4 coughing nearly gone and phlegm much reduced. Temperature also back to normal. In short, feel practically ready resume working."


"I'm on my first month of Nuvaring and I have never been happier. My moods have evened out, and I don't feel willing to choke out people that upset me lately. I've lost over 15 pounds and am very happy with my sex drive. I see all these comments saying that the sex drive drops, lubrication is down.....not in my case. I got a smile on my face most days and so does my man. He doesn't seem to mind it being there, hasn't mentioned being able to feel it or anything like that. My skin is clearing up and I'm happy about that."


"I started Saxenda 1 week ago. I've been experiencing a little nausea but it seems if I eat something before taking it it's not that bad it eventually goes away during the day. It's great to know that people are getting their experience especially people saying their doctors telling them that if you're losing weight still stay on the same dose if you're experiencing a lot of nausea as long as you're losing weight I am 5'3" and started at 227. I'm down 7lbs.
I am glad that I started this first before I was thinking about going for a gastric bypass. So we will see what this outcome is the only thing that scares me is possible thyroid cancer. My insurance did Cover drug  thank goodness."


"I've been taking 1mg of alprazolam for years. New Dr. gave me .05 of Clonazepam. I am NOT sleeping with Clonazepam. The first dose taken several hours ago. I have severe insomnia. Because I'm 67, Doctor uses that as an excuse to not keep me on alprazolam which actually worked. Tried Melatonin,  nothing.  I SERIOUSLY need sleep. How long does it take .05 Clonazepam to kick in"


"We began with night wakings then more aggression. He was never aggressive like this before. Raised to 2 mg symptoms increased again. Still hyper and seemed worse than before. Upon reducing back to 1 mg to none it's been a nightmare. Red red cheeks. Bouncing off walls. Bouncing Up till 3 am. Starting to come down a bit but oh my god the havoc on his mind and body and us plus no sleep. Doc said there wouldn't be any withdrawal "


"6 months ago a doctor injected Euflexxa.  My knee was sore for 4 months. On the fifth month my knee got really bad, pain and swollen. A month later doctor starting injecting Orthovisc, on the first injection in felt like the doctor injected a knee, the inflammation went down and the pain went down 70%. Shot number two hurt and I was swollen and had pain for three days.  Third shot didn't hurt and it was like the last piece of a puzzle.  My knee feels amazing. Will definitely have these ones again. Let see how long they will last."


"At first when I was reading  these reviews I thought they were a bit excessive and was sure the company was paying people to write positive reviews. But after my experience I now can see they true. It was the first morning of my 3 week vacation in LA and I woke up with a cold sore. Awesome. It already was at its blister stage and so swollen and painful (top left side of lip). I got the abreva pump from cvs and spent a whole day continuously reapplying. It completely reduced the swelling and blister and now its completely shrunk and about to disappear and its day 2. Usually I get cold sores once or twice a year that last 10-14 days. I cannot believe this actually worked.  definitely worth the $22"


"Sonata for the most part is great. I've had insomnia for years now and nothing seemed to phase me. I'm taking two 10mg and while it does work, I have those night where it doesn't do anything. Can't even tell I took it. I usually take it around 10pm. I've noticed if I have any food in my stomach it doesn't work or doesn't work as well. If I take it on an empty stomach it works great. With my schedule I sometimes can't  eat until around 8:30-9:00 pm so on those nights I usually don't even take it because I know it won't work. Also, sometimes I wake up after about 4-5 hours of sleep and can't go back to sleep. Then some nights I sleep all night. Not sure if it's just me but it seems like sonata is very finicky."


"Had Botox for overactive bladder 12 days ago. Been miserable ever since, pain is as bad as ever and I have gone into retention so now having to self catheterise up to 4 times a day. Will now need to wait for the Botox to wear off to see if I can pass urine normally again. 6 months of pain, throbbing, pulsating sensation and the constant feeling of needing the toilet and I thought Botox was the answer, instead it's made matters worse!"


"I would like to write about this experience because I am a medical student and I have been avoiding taking Levofloxacin for the last 5-6 years. I went through radiation and chemotherapy for a head and neck cancer which significantly anatomically altered the way my sinuses drain. As a result, I get several sinus infections a year. This year, I have taken at least 3 rounds of augmentin, 2 of a cephalosporin and 1 of clindamycin with no success for my sinus infections. Finally, after getting realizing I may have no choice, I decided to take it. I have cleared the infection, and have no side effects. ENSURE to not take ANY NSAIDS, Steroids (cortico) or even aspirin when taking this med. It will lower risk of tendon rupture significantly."


"I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2007, 5 days after my 23rd birthday. For the first year I took Copaxone, and it did absolutely nothing for me. Then, since my MS was so aggressive, my doctors chose Tysabri for me. I have loved every minute of being on the medication. Not only have I been stable for 4 years, but my old lesions have shrunk in size. Unfortunately, due to being on the mediation for so long and coming back with a positive JC Virus test I am being taken off the medication which scares me to death. My advice to anyone considering the wonderful medication is that you have a serious conversation about the possibility of PML while on the medication. It's a choice of life or death. 1 in 250 people on Tysabri with a positive test are at risk."


"This drug has worked for me for the last year.  It actually started working the first couple of days I used it and then I titrated up to a dose twice a day and it has enabled me to be on a more even mood throughout the day.  Just be careful when the doctor mixes it with other anxiety medicines or depression medicines. You could be susceptible to serotonin overload, I mixed it with a high dose trazodone for sleep issues and found that it made my anxiety worse and more apparent to people, so I switched to Limbitrol which seems to work well with it and don't forget, if you stop these drugs don't do it cold turkey. I stopped trazodone and went into withdrawal symptoms that triggered a major seizure for me!"


"An update on Victoza.  I have now been on it for a month.  This medicine is wonderful.  I have upped it to 1.2.  I have lost approximately 10 lbs.  Victoza will definitely tell you what you can and cannot eat.  Most of my side effects have gone away.  My morning blood sugars have been lowered by approximately 50 points.  I work crazy hours and I have to keep glucose tablets in my vehicle.  I just cannot pull over to eat regularly. I suggest this medication to anybody who has Type 2 diabetes."


"on Invokana for 18 months then had a fall, pain killers gave me SEVERE constipation, I could not stop pain killers as it had been a severe fall so in an attempt to relieve the constipation I stopped taking Invokana, no effect on the constipation but within 2 days my mood lifted enormously so much so that I will no longer take this medication EVER again"


"Side effects = Joint pain, sex drive decreased, teeth grinding"


"I was on Microgestin for 5 months. Although it solved my original problem of severe cramping (what I thought was ovarian cysts), Microgestin had many side effects for me. I experienced nausea right before periods, depression, anxiety, and extreme mood swings. I was sleeping a lot during the day which caused me to not sleep at night. I am switching to Trinessa and hope it fixes these problems."


"Works well but causes dry throat and dry nose.  Combined with melatonin and was out within 20 minutes."


"My wife passed away and I went into a deep depression. I was put on Wellbutrin and told by my nurse it would be at least 4 weeks. In just 3 days and I was feeling great, clear headed, I smiled, I ate normally."


"The first two months of use, I broke out bad. I read reviews that said this might happen as it's balancing everything out. I stuck with it. 14 months in and I'm a happy girl. Little to no cramping (used to be quite severe) 3-4 days of light bleeding and my skin is so happy! Occasionally get a pimple or two but absolutely no more cystic acne! My moods are balanced and haven't experienced weight gain. I didn't experience any nausea or abnormal pain. I'm 37 and this is the right pill for me."


"I admit, I bought and used this product before reading reviews. Bc I despise using anu thing but Diflucan, but I had no option. I'm impatient and enjoy immediate results. I used this product and then immediately read reviews and suddenly became terrified. I tried to probe into the deep unknown to fish it out, bc I was sure I'd have the same negative experience, but a friend assured me she had no issue. So I waited. And I've waited. And four whiskey and cokes + 6 hours later, there is no apocalyptic ending. I feel totally normal. It burns slightly, as does all Monistat.  I feel for those with adverse experiences, but mine is normal.  It's just fine. Whether or not it worked is TBD.  But at least my vagina is hellfire and brimstone free."


"After 5 years on Zoloft I am slowly coming off! They have been the best SSRIs ever, but the weight I have put on is not good, and my blood pressure is high due to the pills, so time to stop."


"I started taking Tramadol for chronic back pain 4 yrs ago. I noticed it helped my fibromyalgia right away many Dr's have told me that it doesn't work with fibromyalgia but my new pcp has me on 100mg ER 24hr for my fibromyalgia and it's working fine along with my gabapentin. Without the tramadol I can barely move it is my wonder drug . Withdrawls from it are intense ."


"Taking Diovan for 160 mg for 3 months with no noticeable side effects, than had what the doctor refers to as an orthostatic syneopal episode. I passed out.  Was out of work for 4 weeks.  Doctor increased dose to 320 and nearly all of the side effects listed for this medication has presented itself.  The worst being muscle weakness and cramping. "


"I have had nexplanon for 5 months and I have mixed feelings about it. When it first got inserted I have a period for about 2 weeks and then didn't have one for about 3 months (woohoo!) But now I have had spotting for about 3 weeks and it is just annoying. I haven't experienced any other side effects which is why I give it an 8. I just want the spotting to stop! A friend told me she had experienced the same thing but her spotting only lasted two weeks - hoping it stops soon."


"I also got my implant at the begaining of July 2014. My first period happened 6 weeks after the implant (3 weeks late), and it was very thick, painful, and had a lot of tissue like globs. I went to OBGYN and I didn't have a miscarriage, she told me that it was normal for the first few periods to be abnormal. About 4 weeks later my next period was very light and lasted 2 weeks. The same thing happened 2 weeks later. Then my next 2 periods were normal. Then 6 months of nothing. I'm not pregnant, just no period, until yesterday. I have started spotting......since I am no longer sexually active I don't see the need to keep it. It hasn't helped with my acne or hormones. If I really didn't want to get pregnant and I was having sex I could put up."


"I had asthma as a child and can tell you getting sick in the winter always leads to bronchitus horrible coughing fits so much to dry heaving being unbearable. Im 30 so now experienced in having that winter cold  no longer do i need antibiotics as the respitory infections become less and less  ive found running jogging or swimming staying in cardiovascular health is the best way to avoid this disaster , but these tessalon perle that first time ive had them this year work miracles for me they almost instantly subdue the coughs two pills at a time i experience no side effects other than drowsy and they are perfect for night when your body is slowing down the cough is coming back and its impossible to sleep when you need that rest"


"I have been on Seasonale for about 9 months and it has worked great so far! I switched from Sprintec because I noticed that I was moody, had low libido, and felt very nauseous often. It can be kind of scary not having a period for three months on Seasonale, however, because of not knowing if you are pregnant or not, but I have not had any scares (I took my pill religiously besides a couple times). I noticed that cramps are a little worse when I do have my period, probably because I don't have my menstrual cycle as much. Overall, I don't get moody or nauseous nearly as much as I did on Sprintec, and it's so nice only dealing with a period 4 months a year instead of 12!"


"I have been on Apri since December 2008 when my daughter was 6 weeks old.  At 1st I loved this pill.  My periods came on time, weren't painful at all, really light and lasted 2-3 days.  In the last year or so, my period has become very heavy, lasting 4-5 days with cramping for at least 4 days. I am miserable! After I had my daughter I had lost 50 lbs, but I have gained that and probably plus some back. I have NO sex drive what so ever, which is affecting my relationship with my almost husband (in 5 weeks!) I go to my Doctor next week to see about switching to a non hormonal IUD.  I have seen successful stories with Apri, but I don't think this pill is for everyone."


"I use a generic version of Zyrtec and it does help with common allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, etc.  However, it does cause a noticeable feeling of drowsiness in me.  It makes it difficult to be at my sharpest while at work so I am going to try taking it at night to see if that helps."


"When reading reviews on the skyla I got very nervous and doubted if I wanted to get it. The next day I told my doctor my  concerns but still ended up getting it... because of course I was reading up on it on google. The insertion was just a lot of pressure. The actual skyla did not hurt it was opening of the uterus and etc. I would definitely recommend it. The first day you do have cramping but nothing tylenol cannot fix."


"I am glucose intolerant, so had gained 20kg and couldn't lose weight no matter how hard I tried.  Doctors suggested surgery, but I refused to even consider that path and so my GP suggested Saxenda.  I have almost finished the trial pack.  I inject in the evening and in the first week lost 3cm & after 2 weeks had lost 1.8kg and another 200g in week 3. There is morning nausea, but I basically just feel like I've eaten a full meal, all the time.  I am eating about a third of my usual diet and am consistently 2000kj under my target.  Have just commenced 2.4g dose and am hoping for improvement in weigh loss.  So far am a little disappointed."


"A sub-lingual dose of Levsin for IBS will begin working within 15 minutes, offering almost immediate relief of pain and discomfort. I highly recommend it if a doctor has prescribed it."


"I faced problems with acne through all my life and now, with 26 years old, I'm still with the same issues (the only notable difference is where the pimples grow). I have adult acne (hormonal acne) and this condition started to really bother me at the beginning of October; I was with 5-6 cystic pimples in my chin and left cheek. So I decided to seek for a 'birth control pill free' treatment (side effects sucks) and went to the dermatologist. She prescribed me 100 mg of spironolactone and topic tretinoin 0,25mg/g with clindamycin fosfate 12mg/g. I was really excited to get rid of this problem, but actually, It just get worse. I've had the WORST breakout ever (a lot of cystic acne and some pustules), and was facing dizziness and fainting sensations"


"I took this simvastatin for about a week and stopped. I was having insomnia, dull pain in my chest, numbness of both my  legs and hands and consistent pain in my left arm and neck. I intend to see my doctor this week."


"This did not work for me at all...  I used it whenever I wanted a cigarette, so I didn't ever get rid if the nicotine addiction.  Complete waste of time and money."


"Have been using Jublia for about 2 months on two small toenails. So far it's working very well. The new nail doesn't look perfect, but it looks so much better than before. I had tried several different treatments before this, and none of them worked at all."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"This medicine is good for mild headaches but it doesn't touch it if it's more severe."


"The patch worked fine until this week. Just recently the patch would start to come off my skin very early. My most recent patch came off 4 days early. What was under the patch is what I am warning you about. My skin was blistered with bubbles, and my skin was raised almost half an inch. It looked as if my skin had a chemical burn from the medication. I slept with some gauze on it and I cleaned it with peroxide. The next day the skin was an open wound and bright red like a burn. It is the most painful thing I've felt in a while. The worst part was being rushed to the ER due to a possible blood clot in the lung (horrible chest pains), had CT scans, blood drawn, and IVs placed all over my body. Before this, I had experienced constant fatigue"


"I went on 20mg of Celexa following a nervous breakdown my senior year of high school. Into my first semester at college, I realized that while I was on this medicine, I just didn't care about anything. I was lethargic and tired all of the time and I could never participate in my classes. I went on for a while being almost completely unaware of my surroundings until I started experimenting a little with it. I would go off of it for a few days and when I begun feeling down again, I would resume. Obviously, this had horrible consequences and I found myself in the acute care department the night before my calculus midterm. Following the incident, I went to my doctor and insisted that I be phased off Celexa and since then, have been fine."


"I have struggled with anxiety my whole life, going on and off anti-anxiety medications.  I am a mom of three, a part time college student, and work part time.  Although I can't blame all of the stress I feel on the way I internalize things, I can absolutely say, Zoloft has helped me tremendously.  I feel like I can handle much more, I feel more clear minded, energized and happy. I believe I may have suffered from a mild OCD- obsessive thoughts mostly, but also very stressed when things in my house were not just so.  I didn't even realize how much I was driving myself crazy until I started taking the Zoloft. I can whole heartedly say, no other medication has worked for me this well.  I am just more at peace and that is priceless."


"Hi! I started using Alli 6 weeks ago today. I have lost an amazing 19 lbs.
I have totally changed my eating habits along with taking Alli.
I have a lot more lbs to go but this is a great start and very motivating! TRY Alli!"


"I was dignosed with prediabetes about a month ago. Not sure how its helping my blood sugar bcause i havent been rechecked yet, but i have not had any bd side effects at all and have lost 5 lbs. Thats pretty goid considering i lost it over the holidays without even trying when i usually would have gained weight!"


"First off, I quit! I am on day 11 so not 100% self assured it will last but I am 3 days smoke free. I have no cravings to smoke but the habit is still there so If I am around triggers I do tend to want to go for a smoke. I did try one today. I put it out. Made me sick feeling and tasted gross. Didn't even inhale fully. So it is working.

Side effect: The nausea is INTENSE!!! Maybe if you eat properly it will be less for you, I don't know. Sleep is horrid. I sleep at max 90minutes at any given time. Most often I sleep in spurts of 30-60minutes. As such I am quite tired. I am on Topamax as well so carbonated drinks like pop are off the table to help me with me day so I feel drugged all day. Odd and rather vivid dreams. Not bad, just odd."


"About 4 1/2 years ago I had surgery to remove a corpus luteum cyst and another cyst that burst. Since then I have been on Sprintec with no other cyst relates problems. I have no mood swings, nausea, depression... basically no negative side effects except from a little weight gain. I can't complain about that."


"I've been on the depo shot for almost 8 years. The first two shots were the toughest to go through, but nothing compared to my regular period. I bled so badly before depo I was wearing a pad and tampon, changing both every hour. Incapacitated by the painful cramps and back pain, mood swings. Between the 3rd shot and now, 7 1/2 years later, no period or mood swings. It's been amazing. The only time I spot is when I'm getting close to my due date for my next shot. So a friendly reminder."


"I will NEVER touch this medicine again. A couple hours after my first dose, I started to feel nauseated. Things quickly devolved from there. Severe chills, body aches, fever, splitting headache. Like when you first get the flu, X10000. My skin hurt and I couldn't relieve my pain/discomfort in any way. The next 24 hours, waiting for the drug to leave my system, were a complete nightmare."


"I recommend this medication and especially for women with PCOS. I started out at 220 pounds in feb 2015 and today Oct. 2015 I weigh 173!! The process has been a good pace and they would up the dosage if I felt like I needed them to. I've always had a very active job and lifestyle and I've always ate right with the occasional cheat meal. This medication is perfect with low carbs, lots of water intake, active body or exercise, small portioned meals, and if you have PCOS vitamen B! Make sure medication is taken in morning after breakfast on empty stomach but not to late in afternoon. There are some mood swings but just when I switched to a higher dosage and that would go away. Everybody is different too! Other then that enjoy the comments!"


"I have to say I  was somewhat relieved to see that I wasn't the only one who suffered so greatly with this drug the experience (but sad to see others suffering)   I truly thought I was dying and I kept telling myself it'll be over soon it'll be over soon the pain chills and vomiting absolute suffering was unlike anything in recent memory for me.. I'll never take this drug again and I'm afraid to take anything like it it was that severe of a reaction and this was my 4th day taking this drug the first night the cramps were pretty rough but short-lived last night I just truly never thought I was going to survive it.. It lasted about 3 hours.. Which felt like eternity.. Today I'm just so weak feeling..  it's going in the garbage $323 wasted..."


"It definitely works! Took with Zquil before bed and slept fantastic! The next night I only took Mucinex before bed and slept only 2 hours! But cough and cold was gone faster then ever before."


"I used this last night for migraines. I took two pills and felt like I was drunk, even when I woke up. It knocked me out cold for 10 hours and I still felt like that when I woke up. I have been exhausted all day also. My migraine is gone, but I can barely keep my eyes open. "


"Second day on this pill...severe diarrhea. I'm a dialysis patient so constipation is part of many pills. I think still afraid of going, outside thinking in use of restroom, dizziness, and weak. Good for emergencies but still thinking if someday I will be back to normality with no pills at all."


"My doctor almost treated me with antidepressant because I had signs and symptoms of depression, however, this only happens for few days prior to my monthly menses so she decided that we should try this pill, so far so good! No more feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, crying spells, moody, irritable, fatigue, tiredness, anxiety, acheness, cramping, headaches and the worse of all symptoms lack of desire to enjoy life! This is a miracle pill, made my stomach upset the first day and drowsiness. Little light headed."


"Zoloft actually changed my life. It's helped me cope with every day situations in an non reactive way. My thoughts have calmed down and my anxiety is minimal. I've actually lost 15 lbs on Zoloft. I started on 50mg and now I'm up to 200mg per day. I've been on it for about a year now and I like that it doesn't numb everything or make me super emotional or tired. I'm very well balanced. I just wish I could sleep better."


"I have been using this for a year now and love it. I'm horrible at taking pills and with this all I have to do is set an alert on my calendar. There are also 3 doctors in my family and they all recommended Nuvaring saying it's one of the safest and has the least side effects. I love it and recommend it to every girl I know."


"I have Generalised Anxiety Disorder and take this nightly to sleep.  This medication works wonderfully for relieving the physical symptoms of GAD which is what it was intended for.  Yes this is addictive and has side effects that can affect memory however I don't think I could live without this medication.  Anti-Depressants don't touch my anxiety where as this does."


"Very effective"


"This is the best product ever!!!!! After fighting super lice for months. One application and they are gone!!!!!"


"This pill hasn't worked out for me.  I started gaining weight almost immediately and suffered through some pretty wild mood swings.  Now that I've switched back to Marvelon, my head feels much clearer and the weight is quickly coming off."


"I got Liletta inserted on January 10th at 2pm. The pain from the scale of 1-10, was a 9.7. I never had kids, no abortions. I swore out loud when I had this inserted. It wasn't a pain I ever felt before and that's having 3 tattoos and piercings as well as wisdom teeth surgery, and a cyst removal on my shoulder. This was PAIN. The serious pain though lasted I would say 2-3min. After was serious cramping like I've never had before. The next 2-3 days was spotting brown and weird colors, I don't know. The cramping was INTENSE. I don't normally have bad cramps on my period, but holy cow these cramps had me on the floor, on the couch, on the bed curled up in a ball... It's the 16th of January and I feel SO much better! No cramps or bloating! :)"


"My gynecologist always prescribes 2 150 mg tablets packaged together for yeast infection. You take one immediately and then the other in 5 days. Works like a charm!  I always develop a vaginal yeast infection when I take antibiotics!  It's great to have this handy as a preventative!"


"Insertion did not hurt and it was smooth and easy. I have a small scar and you can kind of see it in my arm. I love it because I don't have to worry about pills or a loose object floating in my cervix etc. and its effective. I knew my periods would be unpredictable with spotting. I was on Depo for 2 yrs without a period or weight gain. On Implanon within a year I started paying attention to my periods and it varied from spotting a few days to a period every other week. My calendar was all over the pace. And to top the hated spotting the hormones made me have a bad smell the first day of my period/spotting. And I had terrible mood swings and emotions which I never had before around that time. I could feel myself crying or cursing my husband out for nothing."


"I am on my third injection of Bydureon. The needle is huge and the med burns going in, and bleeds after. No problems with injection site till this week I noticed a small pea-sized bump at the first injection site on my stomach. The first two weeks my morning sugars went up significantly to 190-200. Other side effects are diarrhea (which has resolved this week), bloating and a very uncomfortable full feeling, and some random stomach pain. This week numbers starting to come down to 145-155, but still higher than when on my previous med, Victoza, which made me very nauseous. Not losing weight. In fact, am up 2 lbs. Hope this turns around in the next couple of weeks."


"As stated Tussionex is expensive. With that said you get what you pay for. I had a cough that kept me up for 3 days. I went to my doctor and he prescribed Tussionex for me. I had 1 teaspoon before bed and woke up 8 1/2 hours later. My cough did not wake me up once during the night. "


"I've had fibromyalgia for over 8 years and my doctor put me on Mobic 8 months ago and it worked great. However, I am not sure if it is no longer working or if my myalgia is getting worse because I have had to change my medication recently. It works great for inflammation but it doesn't work alone to help fight all the symptoms."


"Hypercare is the best! I don't sweat anymore. Now I can go out in pubic without worrying about huge sweat stains appearing on my shirt. I don't have to worry about wearing hoodies, sweaters or jackets to school to cover up my soaking wet shirts especially in the summer time after school! I have been a heavy sweater for 4 years, since 6th grade to 9th). I should have tired this years ago. No more skipping out on activities with friends or just teenage stuff. I can finally be me! I recommend this to anyone with the problem. If it does not work for you, don't give up. Keep trying to find a good product that works for you."


"I have been on a few meds for Overactive Bladder and they have all had the same intolerable dry mouth.  I have been on this product for a little less than a month and not seen any side effects and my symptoms are better. It is a higher co-pay, but worth the symptom relief!"


"After my 2nd child I decided to go with Mirena, I have now had it for close to 5 years (mid July 2015 will be 5 years).  I have not had a single problem with it. It did not hurt during the procedure and stopped my periods altogether.  I love it so much I already have my next one ordered and scheduled to be replaced on July 21st. I think everyone's body reacts to any type of birth control differently and that being the reason there are so many mixed reviews about it.  Received a call from my Drs office yesterday telling me that my insurance covers it 100%, so no out of pocket cost for me :-)"


"I've been on every antiemetic (Nausea/Vomiting w/ Chronic Intractable Migraines and Hiatal Hernia) and they typically work for a while until I grow tolerant of the medication.  The real problem I have with the marinol is that it is only available in pill form - just by swallowing it I begin vomiting all over again.  I've also found that in the rare instance when I can keep it down, like if I take it during the prodrome phase, the timing for when it kicks in is inconsistent now; sometimes it won't do anything and then suddenly 12 hours later it will hit me, while other times it will start working in two."


"My husband took Mobic for psoriatic arthritis, and it made him extremely ill, and gave him almost no pain relief. "


"Lamictal is very helpful in controlling my mood swings.  What I like is that you can start on a low dose and work your way up until you find the dose that works for you."


"I was on Yaz for almost 3 years. It was great for the first 2 3/4 years! I felt like it helped with my moods and cramps before my period and just worked great overall. A few months ago though, I started having PMS for 2 weeks straight and month by month after it the PMS creeped up into the entire month! I would cry for absolutely no reason or from the smallest thing, be very irritable and angry over little things, depressed, nightmares, hungry all the time, extremely tired all the time- coffee did nothing, weight gain etc. Went off it about 5 days ago and feel so much better!
"


"Since I had my child 3 years ago my anxiety manifests as migraines with aura. I have had rosacea most of my life and get laser treatments to keep it under control. I started experiencing migraines every month about 3 days before my cycle, neck cracking and general discomfort. I decided enough was enough and to actually try taking something. My doctor gave me 80 mg Inderal LA and the first month was really hard. I was tired 6 hours after I took it for about 2 hours to the point that I could hardly type or compose a thought at work. Now after 2 months, I feel great. I don't get upset over little things, I can think without hundreds of thoughts and this has worked so much better than Buspar, Zoloft or 5HTP for me. I recommend giving it a try."


"I have been suffering from depression almost all my life. Ive been on several different medications though out the last 10 years. I ended up with peripheral neuropathy last year and was sent to a neurologist, he put me on amitriptyline for the burning and he also said it will help with insomnia and my depression. I absolutely am happy with this drug!!! Better then Prozac, I still have feelings.(lol). Anyhow if you r debating on this medication, I recommend it 100 percent.  I take 100mg a couple hours before bed, unless I get upset during the day,(then ill take 25mg just to take the edge off.) Then I'll just take 75 mgs before bed,"


"Best if using to think that this medication was bumped to schedule II on October, 6th 2014!
It helps with pain. But must see the doc every month, which is a painful journey among other daily activities that can burden those who have permanent back damage, or Chronic (close to permanent back pain) ~back pain.
Best to get 10mg dose, then able to break and take less or more depending on the day, pain, movement anticipated, etc.
"


"I've had many UTI's in the past but usually keep them at bay by taking cranberry pills daily. Well, I slacked and got a UTI. I think I've taken Bactrim before but I don't ever recall feeling like this. I was fine this morning but by noon was very shaky. I felt hungry and nauseous at the same time. Forced myself to eat and felt slightly better but couldn't focus on work and am feeling down in the dumps (depressed?). I also had trouble sleeping last night. Oh and my pee still burns after 2 doses. So if the symptoms don't improve by tomorrow I'm going to see about switching to something else."


"My doctor prescribed this to me for my depression as well as my insomnia, he started me on 50mg and ended being bumped up to 300mg. Maybe I just have a strong tolerance for medication because I was also having to take 300 mg of Seroquel. I stopped taking the trazodone for a while because while on both medications a bomb could go off next to me and not wake me up, but now I am just taking the trazodone due to the Seroquel costing an arm a leg and a foot. But since I have done that now I get major migraines when taking it and have had to up my dose to 500mg. Every now and then I will wake up with a migraine still and sometimes it makes me sick when I don't take it with a full glass and a half of milk."


"I had my wisdom teeth removed 3 weeks ago and everything was fine until yesterday morning my face swelled and had pain that basically locked my jaw in place. I went to my ortho surgeon and he prescribed clindamycin for an infection. I'm prescribed it for once every 4 hours. After taking the first pill I went and laid down not thinking about it...burning came immediately. I'm drinking water like crazy and it's helping but I'm worried for what is to come. I've never had side effects to any medicine."


"I had implanon for three years prior to this nexplanon. I had no issues with implanon at all. I was period free for three years with no side effects. Now the problem with nexplanon: I have horrible cramping and pain that lasts up to a week sometimes. It seems to be every other week now. It interferes with work and my home life as we all know pain can make us miserable and cranky. I went to the doctor she said it was this and just my normal period (Minus bleeding) I've had periods for over 15 years and never had periods this painful! The pain is so bad that regular over the counter pain killers don't touch it and I refuse to take anything stronger. The health risks from over the counter pain killers are bad enough. My only option? Removal"


"I have suffered from motion sickness my entire life on boats, in cars and on amusement rides.  I have used OTC medicines like dramamine but the side effect of sleepiness was so overpowering, I couldn't even enjoy the activity.  I recently heard of this wonder drug called Transderm and after reading reviews and speaking to a pharmacist, I decided to put it to the test at Tampa Bay Busch Gardens.  WOW!!!!! I had the best time ever.  I rode every ride and only one of them made me feel a LITTLE dizzy and nauseous during and briefly after.  I did feel a bit drowsy as well for about five minutes but this was minor. The dry mouth was probably the biggest side effect I experienced.  Overall, it was a success and I would use again."


"I had a sinus infection 20 years ago that spread to my left eye & left frontal lobe of my brain. I had surgery on my sinuses, left eye, and my left temporal lobe of my brain removed and now have a plastic plate on the left side of my head. So I have frequent sinus infections and headaches. I was given generic Bactrim  from the VA. I have taken it 2 days and my sinuses have cleared up any.So I am still having headaches but now have nausea, and diarrhea and stomach pains. I just hope it gets rid of the infection."


"Expensive, Did not help with depression at all."


"I am really glad that this product is working well for some women, I wish I were one of them. I had Mirena placed at my 7 week check up after my second son and everything seemed fine at first, I spotted the first 6 mos like the nurse said I would, she said my periods may even go away. They are worse than ever, no cramping but heavy bleeding for more than a week, every month! I have no sex drive and my weight has plateaued! I've been up and down 5lbs since I got it in. My PMS has been horrific, mood swings, depression. The worst part is I never even considered that it was the Mirena until I started reading reviews. Thank you to those who have posted good and bad! My yearly appointment is next week and I can't wait to get this out!"


"I am a 67 year old male who has suffered from low testosterone for many years. I have been using Fortesta for 2 months, and have seen a remarkable increase in my sex drive, and sense of well being. My penis has increased in size when soft to double it's previous size. Fortesta is great."


"Have been on Stelara for about a year and a half.  When started, I had 50-60% coverage.  It was down to about 10-15% by the time I had my second injection, and down to about 5% by the time I had my third.  It has remained about that level since, but now only consists of flat pinkish spots that barely itch at all and look more like old scars than the scabby, cracked, bleeding mess they were before.

As for the side effects; I seem to be more prone to various infections than before.  I seem to catch colds more easily.  Also, I usually feel some muscle pain and fatigue starting the day after my injection and lasting for a couple of days (easily dealt with by scheduling my appointments on Friday afternoons and taking it easy over the weekend)."


"I had a pretty easy insertion- experienced a sharp pain for a few seconds and that was it. I took a Tramadol and was expecting the worst, but it was totally manageable. My first period with it inserted lasted ten days but most of it was light spotting. I had more cramping and breaking out than normal. Overall I love having the Skyla. Insurance covered the vast majority of the cost and it's reliable. My partner doesn't feel the strings. I anticipated more issues after reading reviews for this IUD, but it's working really well for me!"


"Not good"


"I have been taking Pristiq 200mg for over 2 years and it has worked well for me. I have tried a number of SSRIs and this has been the best but isn't perfect. If I forget to take my tablets at breakfast time by mid afternoon I feel very nauseous, lose balance and feel tired. Routine is important with these tablets. Side effects for me include, some sexual performance issues, some weight gain and poor short term memory. I have had problems with generic versions of pristiq so stick to the real stuff now."


"My husband got this for me since I haven't been pooping that well lately. He told me it was better than any others, because you don't get stomach cramps. WRONG. I took 2 a couple of hours ago, and now, my stomach is in the worst pain ever. Thankfully, I have had a BM, but I don't think I will ever take Dulcolax again because of the severe pain."


"I hard a hard time getting pregnant the first time.4 years.  I heard a bout clomid from a friend & i asked my doctor.

Then I got pregnant. Using clomid. It did make me vomit but was worth it.

My insurance didn't cover clomid"


"I've been using Foradil for 3 months and am very pleased with the results. I was using my Proventil every 3-4 hours. Now I use my inhaler maybe once a day."


"I was so scared to try this birth control but my doctor recommend it to me. I wanted to at the time to
try Yaz "miracle pill " because I suffer from PMDD and I thought that it would work out for me but she advised me to try Seasonique because you only get your period 3-4 times a year, so this is my second month and and it is working out great no weight gain and no acne. A little spotting but that's not a problem. Thought nothing would help me. This pill has saved my life and my marriage. I would get so crazy when it was time for my period. Love this. It worked out for me but everybody is different. You just have try to find the right one for you. I would read a lot of reviews and get scared but just try a birth control for 3 months then you will know."


"Am I the only one that has had no problems with burning? The cream give a slight sensation for a few minutes when I out it on but its kinda a releiving burn! The vaginal inset has never bothered me I can honestly rate this product a 10! So glad my body hasn't reacted like everybody else on here! Drug not for everybody I guess :)"


"My experience with this drug is a bitter sweet one. However, the bitter side to it overpowers the sweet by LONG SHOT. Since I was a kid, I've had behavioral issues and it wasn't until I was in my mid teens that they began to truly effect my way of life and my relationships with those around me. I had been taking Bupropion in combination with Sertraline and had no serious problem or complaints. However, when I started to wean off of the Sertral and began taking the Strattera, I began to get irritated and just downright pissed off for no apparent reason. The slightest things set me off, and it's only gotten worse with increased dosage. I'm gonna stop taking it all together. Screw a bunch of this unprovoked anger stuff. It helps no one."


"To all starting out on Celexa, please don't judge it by the first 3 weeks.  I am now at 8 weeks and I've never felt better.  My doctor said the full effect will be felt at 8 weeks - I can truly tell. The first 3 weeks I was beyond tired, getting up and getting to work was painful.  I'm usually a night owl but I was ready to crash after dinner every night. By week 4 all of my energy came back.  My moods were amazing, my social skills did a 180 degree turn. This medication truly changed my life.  I haven't tried anything before for my anxiety/depression as I am in my early 20's. I knew I needed help when my illness began to destroy my personal relationships.  The constant yawing, tiredness, fogginess will go away. Your body will adapt."


"Had for over a year. No problems. I stopped having periods a while ago. I had it put In at my 6 week appointment after having my son. I didn't feel anything but a small cramp the doc said dilating the cervix is the painfully part. Since mine was still slightly dilated it didn't really hurt. She said she had never taken one out because the patient didn't like it. "


"Started taking the 37.5mg pill 2/4/17.  I'm 5'5 Weighing 251lbs which is why I'm considered obese. I now weigh in at 240lbs without exercise or eating healthy. I also tried "tenuate" it didn't work for me which is why I'm currently using this pill.

 I have no negative effects that I can report besides dry mouth. I see people say they still eat food. What I am experiencing is "not wanting any food at all" only fluid.

I tried to eat some lamb and rice and vomited. Thats one of my favorite foods to eat. I have no true urge to eat food only fruits. Which I like.  My Dr. told me not to worry just make sure I stay hydrated so don't get headaches."


"Through diet I was able to slowly lose about 35 pounds over about 8 months. When I hit a plateau and was not losing any more, I started this medicine- and eventually had enough energy and motivation to start exercising again. I have lost over 60 pounds in the last 7 months and am getting ready to wean off of it - I have no ill effects while taking it."


"I have fibromalgya too - its been helpful as a painkiller!"


"I posted last week after I took plan b, I promised I would write my experience if it worked and it did. Took the one called "take action" 26 hours after the "incident". Was absolutely terrified because I'm extremely fertile and it was on the day I normally ovulate, and I have never waited that long for the morning after pill so I was extra nervous about getting pregnant. My side effects were absolutely horrible and they are so similar to actually being pregnant it's insane. I was fine the first couple days, just makes my head feel weird and I get emotional, but days after I was super dizzy and nauseas. I started 2 days early and it's pretty bad, but better than being pregnant. Try to relax, pretty sure it works."

"You just drink it one shot and that's it. It is not bad. The doctors office had manufacturers coupon for co-pay. Just drank it so waiting for the effect to go."


"I'm on my first pack of Loestrin and so far I've had some serious cramps! Face is clear, mood swings are out of this world! The other day I was so irritated with everything and everyone! I have had some breakthrough bleeding but I have not gotten my period yet. I'm on the last week of pills! If these cramps don't go away and these mood swings don't stop I have to get off this medication!"


"As of today, it's two weeks since I started taking Benicar 40/12.5mg.  Wow, what an experience.  I don't take any other medicines for ANYTHING.  I do take vitamins and supplements. My blood pressure now is so great that it helps me deal with the side effects better. I have lightheadedness, spontaneous increase in heart beats, light muscle aches all of these I didn't have before taking Benicar.  It took at least a week and a half for my system to adjust.  I'll continue on with it and hopefully after significant weight loss I will come off altogether.  Until then, I'll take the 123/75 blood pressure any day!"


"After taking Zocor for several months I experienced sleeplessness, indigestion and anxiety. Depression soon set in. Anti-depressants cannot be taken with Zocor so I stopped it. Antidepressants all came with side effects. So I stopped them too. After several weeks of counseling and breathing techniques I was back to my old self. Doctor put me back on Zocor and 2 weeks later sleeplessness, depression, indigestion are back. I am stopping this medicine."


"Been fighting mild alcohol dependance, binge drinking, for a number of years and heard about naltrexone. I took it for a bit last year using the Sinclair method with some success but I wasn't disciplined and under some abnormal life stresses I lost my path. I have again taken it up in the last two months and my alcohol consumption has reduced by 2/3rds. No hangover in 2 months which is miraculous. I get the urge to drink a couple of times a week, usually after a stressful day at work, I take the pill wait an hour and start drinking a beer. Midway through the second beer the desire to continue drinking has gone. Some nausea but much preferable to alcohol effects. If you are a borderline alcoholic it can work wonders."


"I suffer from GAD, what is depression, anxiety and insomnia.  The episode started in March 2015. I felt tiredness every day. I increased my physical activity to make my body triger to relax. It did not work. Within three months my diptession got worse. I felt anxiety, discomfort in my body, tiredness, lost interest to my favorit activities, in other words I survived.Then at the end of May I started taking Quaetepine 1 tab before night. It made me sleep 4-5 hrs at night. Then I splited 50mg of Pristiq into 4 parts (12.5 mg) and took them for 4 days. Next 4 days I was taking 25mg. Then 50 mg next 12 days. Now I am on 100 mg. After 45 days I felt good relief. It worked! But I felt aweful all time before. I experiensed lots of side effects."
