"Oh my. I was put on carbamazepine for possible epilepsy and it didn't seem to do anything - but the doctors said to just keep trying. However, it continued to worsen, making my focus dip considerably, and causing my hearing to change! (I'm a musician, I could tell - it dropped a semitone down.) Was very annoying."


"I've been on it for 7 months now. The only bad thing is depending on your body type you'll gain a lot of weight. I gained 20 pounds,yet it definitely filled in my small body,I don't have a period any more but I always look and feel pregnant. But it very effective as a birth control. I highly recommend it and its easy to keep up with."


"My son took this drug for a few years and I was told he would have "mild" weight gain.  40 pounds later we had to take him off of it because the weight gain was compromising his overall health.  I can't really say I noticed a big difference while on it anyway."


"I was on mononessa and my doctor switch me to microgestin saying there are less side effects. Worst mistake I ever made. I used mononessa without having one complaint. It's been one week I started microgestin and I'm having chest pain, headaches, feeling nauseous and tired all the time and I can't sleep at nights."


"Love the birth control other than I've been spotting for a month I'm so sick of it! After July 11th I will be getting it removed my husband is getting a vasectomy! Thank the lord! I will be so happy once this thing is removed! No other issues than this!"


"Hi everyone! So I had my period on June 6th and the very last day my boyfriend and I had sex with a condom and some how we both finished without realizing that the condom slipped off into me. And my boyfriend wasn't sure if he came inside me or not and I didn't see any cum. This was about midnight when it happened and I will as freaking out. The next morning I went to CVS bought it for $53. Ate something then took the pill 8am. (8 hours after the incident) I felt so tired the first week that all I did was want to sleep. Then the following weeks I would feel nauseous and had stomach aches. To me I rather have all that then get pregnant. So I'm on birth control pills so i continued to take them then on July 4th I got my period! stay positive! xo"


"Lortab 10 helps my back for about 4 to 6 hours."


"I got my period a week after nexplanon was inserted into my arm march 2015. Then I didn't have a period for a year and a half... I got a Pap smear two months ago and ever since then I've been getting my period. It's extremely heavy, painful, tender breasts. I've experienced all of the side effects of this birth control and it's not fun. The only plus side is not having to remember to take a pill everyday. The worst part is the random heavy periods but it seems like everyone is experiencing this. My doctor told me it was normal!"


"I was seeking long term birth control so that I would be able to not have to worry about taking a pill every day. Unfortunately because I have anxiety already this hormone made it really hard for me to live normally. Extremely effective in terms of keeping me not pregnant but was just really hard for me to deal with mood swings and started effecting my relationships and lifestyle. I am having it taken out in a week and getting the Paragard IUD to try something else out for a change. This might be the right birth control for you, sometimes you have to try things out to see what works best!"


"I tried a whole other whack of anti-depressants before trying Remeron and nothing. I mean, nothing worked for me. In fact, other anti-depressants made me more depressed. I mean seriously deeply darkly depressed but not Remeron. Remeron, honestly, is a dream medicine for me. It has improved my cat allergies by 80%, my sleep by 90% and my mood by 80%. It's amazing. However, it's true what they say about the munchies. I have to tell myself, almost nightly, that no, I don't need to get up and make a stack of pancakes at 11 pm. I have dreams about food, chocolate, donuts. It's pretty funny. The other side effect is my hands are swollen (edema), that side effect I'm not liking but we'll see how it goes. I've been on it for 2 months now."


"Last weekend Me and My Girlfriend was having sex but the condom broke. Even though I didn't cum , I was scared for pre-cum so next day she got Plan B & this was 27 hours later . I don't know if she was ovulating or not but she was tired  and having the side effects on the box like nausea , acne , abdominal pain (cramps ,stomach aches) but that's all she told me . I was so freaked out I couldn't eat , I was researching everyday & the internet was scaring me about other people experiences that didn't work . 10 days later she texted me and said she has her period ! This is the greatest relief I've ever had !

So the pill works ! It's worth the money . Don't go on google or anything because you will be freaked out! It will be okay"


"I switched to Microgestin after I could no longer afford Lo Loestrin Fe. I didn't get my period or have any bad side effects while on Lo Loestrin Fe so I was worried that I would when I switched. Thankfully no side effects or period."


"Was very sick from antibiotics and large doses of Prednisone to help with the asthma.  Couldn't hold any food down but did take enough water and Gatorade.  Kept losing weight and had terrible abdominal cramps with the nausea.   Finally saw another Dr after 11 days who prescribed the ZOFRAN and all nausea and cramps totally went away.  Finally could start eating again!  ZOFRAN was a miracle med for me! !!"


"I started on 8/24/15 as of today 9/6 I have lost 10 lbs, just under 2 weeks. I only take half a pill which is just fine for me. I have very little appetite, I force myself to eat. I'm staying under 1200 calories per day, more like 800. My cravings for sweets are gone! This is strange for me because I love sweets. I'm not eating any bread or drinking any soda. Lots of water, fruits, veggies, salads and protein. I have not exercised yet but plan to soon. I could not sleep the first few days and dry mouth is starting to kick in, it's tolerable. My goal is to lose 60 lbs by the end of the year."


"I took Next Choice about 4 hours after having unprotected sex with my husband. I also followed another users advice and took Dramamine about an hour before I took the pill in order to combat any nausea. After taking the pill I only felt slight amount of nausea, but it sure did wipe me out. I took the pill on a Sunday and slept all the way until Monday evening. Some side effects that I got were: major bloating, abdominal cramping for more than a week, slight headache, extreme fatigue, very heavy menstrual flow 4 days after taking the pill, mood swings, extreme hunger, breast tenderness, swollen ankles.... but other than the many side effects experienced, I am satisfied with this medication for preventing an unwanted pregnancy."


"I am 35 years old mother of 2 with extremely heavy, long cycles. On the pill prior to children. Decided not to go back on the pill after because I felt mentally better without mood swings. 6 years after 2nd child I had enough of the heavy, long cycles which have given me anemia. I decided it was time to dive right in and give the Mirena a try. I have heard women who love it and those who hate it. It was worth the try to me. But try to stick it out for the first 3 months as your body needs time to adjust. I took Advil prior to procedure. I experienced absolutely NO pain. I was aware my OBGYN was in there, swab, measure and insert but that's it. I did spot afterwards for a couple of days but no complaints. I believe an OBGYN should perform the insertion"


"I had absolutely horrible, irregular racing heart episodes. I had Metoprolol and gained weight, it was miserable and didn't stop the problem.I just became fat with a racing irregular heart beat.

I am using Flecainide now about three months and I have my life back!!! My heart works again! I don't know how this stuff works but my quality of life is MUCH improved! Thank you."


"This drug is great, it saved me from my job and help me become more successful. There was a point It was so bad I could not even be in a work meeting with out having serious anxiety. I also had problems going anywhere. It was really affecting my work and my behavior with my family. Once I started talking it, I felt no stress, and I was able to be normal again and function. Now that I have been on it for 2 years, I only need it 1-2 times a week. When I was having anxiety really bad I had to take it 4-5 times a week. So the longer I have been on it the more I was able to tapper off and feel normal again. I highly recommend it if you have serious anxiety and feel stress all the time."


"I went on this birth control for two reasons : acne and protection from pregnancy. Have been taking it for 6 months and always have sex with my boyfriend without a condom. I haven't had a single side effect from this birth control. Never any headaches, food cravings, significant loss or weight gain, bloating. Nothing. My periods have been always regular even before taking this drug and they are still regular now.  A day or two before I finish my active pills I get mild cramps, then when I'm on placebo week my period comes and is there for good 5-6 days just like my period is if I were not taking the pill. I never saw any changes in my mood, I don't feel tired and have never been pregnant. I feel like my usual self on this pill."


"I used Rozerem and was very happy. It is strongly thought that nerve endings in the brain have been damaged by a virus or bacteria. I used it on a need to basis.  3 nights in a row, off a week, then 2 nights on and so on.  I used only 8 in a month and did sleep when I used it.  Whether I felt drowsy or got a headache from Rozerem I cannot say as my other diseases give me these symptoms, but I have to say I felt much better. I could not afford Rozerem as my insurance would not cover it. I can now afford and will use 8 -10 a month with Doctor's approval."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"In the middle of my first dose. After reading other reviews I was positively dreading it. Now it wasn't exactly tasty but I just gulped it down and occasionally bit down a lemon wedge which really helped. It wasn't until the last few swallows that I had to give it a bit more effort because the taste was getting to me. My Dr's office told me I could drink GatorAde instead of plain water after finishing the prep bottle #1. I did not have anything cold because I prefer room temp. It took 35 minutes to start working. It's been 2 hrs and I've gone four times with no cramping, chills, nausea, etc.  Things are already starting to be more clear.  I'm really glad for the low fiber diet and for pushing fluids all day today. Not staying long on the pot either"


"This is my first bc pill. I have just fjnished the first month of it. So far I would say it is very good. Made my period super light which is one of the reasons i got on it because mine were way too heavy. No headaches or spotting. The only side effect i have experienced this far is some slight breast tenderness, but nothing too bad! Hope you fjnd what's best for you!"


"Switched to Letrozole and Ibrance from Xgeva and Denosobaum April 2015

The weight gain, hair loss and depression are an impending deal breaker. Sorry. Cant live like this."


"Relpax is the most reliable migraine medication for me, been using it for 3-4 years, 2-6 times/month. I tell anyone with migraines to try Relpax. Within 1.5 hours my pain is gone, very rarely have I needed 2 pills. I do have side effects: my arms feel really heavy and weak, my chest feels achy, and my throat feels tight. This will start within the first 30 minutes but be completely gone by the time my pain is gone. I take Excedrine for my migraines that have a low intensity/pain, which usually works, but if not I take Relpax. If the headache is terrible right off, I know to take the Relpax right away. I may feel wiped out for the rest of the day, but I can work and do what I need to."


"The lowdown: 10-yr smoker, 1-2 pk/day.  Have successfully quit several times in the past... sometimes for up to 24 hours at a stretch.

This stuff is brilliant! Crushes the physical craving, kills the buzz, ruins the taste, and gives off a little dopamine squirt - apparently just because it can.

Smoke-free for 5 weeks now, living with a roommate that still lights up regularly.  Chantix-free for 1, with no residual urges.  Unbelievable."


"My doctor gave me a coupon for the first month free then after that my co pay was $30 through my insurance. The medicine does not work consistently some days I don't have a bowel movement while other days I have severe diarrhea but it beats being chronically constipated. I take the medicine at night and usually next day in afternoon or evening have bowel movement. It took a few days for it to kick in. Then stopped taking it due to diarrhea then got constipated again. I take it consistently now."


"In my opinion, Lamictal is a great medication. It helped with my moodswings & I didn't experience any side effects from it. The only reason I stopped taking it was because I was having trouble affording it. Otherwise, I'm sure I would still be taking it to this day."


"I bought a 3 month supply and used it as directed. I got a buzz cut before I started applying Rogaine so all my new hair could grow with the old hair. After 6 months, my hair was fuller, thicker, and my bald spot was filled in with my own, NEW hair. I felt like a new man. Then, I stopped using Rogaine, (because I had new hair growth & was satisfied), and within a few months, all my NEW hair (and then some) fell out in the shower, combing & brushing my hair, and regular daily activities. Now, I've decided to lose my hair with grace. Rogaine WORKS, but DON'T STOP USING IT OR YOUR HAIR WILL FALL OUT!!"


"I have been on Lyrica for the past 8 months, I have fibromyalgia and pain was unbearable. It was amazing at first as I could finally sleep. Over the few months however I have had increased swelling in my joints and gained 15 lbs with no change in eating habits. I started feeling confused with memory loss, then two weeks ago I started feeling suicidal. I did not ever suffer from depression but could not get the thought of just taking a bottle of pills. Due to my experience of working with mental health I knew something was not right so I am now working at reducing Lyrica and going off of it . I think it was amazing for the pain but not worth the risk with the change in my mental state."


"My doctor recommended this to me since I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo before and after having a child it no longer worked as well for me and began to cause cystic acne on my chin. She said Tri Sprintec is the generic for Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo and works similarly to your natural body's hormone process. Since I started it each month my skin has gotten clearer and the PMS mood swings before my period are getting better. I was definitely more moody after I started taking this birth control. The biggest thing I've noticed is lack of sexual drive but my skins clear, little weight gain, and no hair loss. So I'm sticking with it. "


"Death before this. This was the WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. I feels like someone was dancing on a field of fire-ants wielding blowtorches blowing balls of fire in my vagina. I only survived by reading pages and pages of reviews for hours as the BURNING PAIN AND ITCH subsides. One reviewer says it's worse than when she had chlamydia and gonorrhea at the same time. Another says it was 10x itchier than her YI and vaginal eczema combined. Another said at least in child birth, you get a break between contractions. The amount of people on ice packs, going to the ER, and calling the FDA is alarming. THIS AMOUNT OF PAIN AND ITCH IS ABNORMAL."


"My experience with Latuda is mostly negative. I have been on it for 5 months and will be tapering off in a couple of weeks thankfully.  The only good thing about it is it stabilized me in a severe mixed mania with psychosis episode, but other than that, the side effects are horrible.  It has done nothing for my depression the past two months and I have had anxiety and major irritability on it.  The nausea and vomiting is miserable.  I was prescribed zofran to offset the nausea but that is not so helpful either since the zofran causes constipation.  The 350 calorie requirement is a pain because you can't take it with dinner or you fall asleep instantly, so I take it with a late night meal to last a few more hours, hence more weight gain."


"One dose of mucinex w quanafenisin, pain 75% gone next morning, most days I can nearly get out of bed. This works for fibromyalgia, I've had for 17 yrs. I don't know why it helps! But nothing else has!!"


"This drug helped me a lot when I suffered a severe depression about a year ago. "


"Slow but good progress.  Has definitely improved the head hunger and cravings which in turn helps with food choices, amount of food and cravings.  Down 20ls in 4 months without extreme dieting, just cut back and count calories"


"Been on mirena for almost 2 years now.

Insertion was painful. Felt like very bad cramps and was bleeding for 2 weeks but after that ,my period completely stopped. It was the best thing ever. Did not have much side effects.I am a very active person and always concious about my weight. Since the beginning of this year I've started notice watery discharge, heavy mood swings, depression (cried about everything and anything), constantly feel like I've swollen a balloon, no one is allowed near my tummy, and picked up about 5kg's in one month. Went to doctor yesterday and mirena caused very big cyst filled with hormones - no wonder!Could not get it out yesterday so I'm scheduled for op today. Just want to feel normal again! Would not recommend!!!"


"For acute maxillary sinusitis. Day two, just taking the third dose already feeling better. The pain in my sinus is much diminished.  So far I am very pleased using this product."


"Well I'm on day one of taking prednsone for mono and strep throat. This would be the 4th time taking prednisone. I was sick for 2 days. Had horrible body aches,  chills,  fever,  cold sweats,  everything to do with strep and mono. Doctor prescribed me prednisone and I start feeling better less than an hour after taking it. Only down side is you can't sleep. Other then that,  I like the drug because it wipes out the disease fast. It's heavy duty,  but should not be taken for a long time as it destroys your immune system. Is great from short term use though."


"I have been very happy with Junel.  This is the 1st pill I have taken without horrible side effects. I experienced slight nausea and cramping on day 2, but that's gone away.  I have slightly elevated hunger level, so I have needed to be conscious of food intake. No bloating, spotting, and weight gain.  My libido has increased and my acne cleared up."


"I was so excited about taking trulicity because a friend of mine has been taking it and has lost 70 lbs and has been taken off insulin. When I got home from the doctor with my four week samples I sat down and took my first dose then about 8 hrs laters I'm on the toilet puking my guts out. I broke out in a cold clammy sweat... cold water was actually pouring off my face but even though I was cold and clammy, my skin felt like it was being burned by a blow torch. The literature says that nausea will subside after a couple of weeks but you couldn't pay me to take it again.  I sure hope others don't have this experience because it seems to work...good luck to all"


"I was on this for 2 years and at first it was great! It worked great... BUT a few months into it I noticed I had no sex drive, heavier periods, minor acne flare ups (I didn't have acne before), & extreme mood swings. A year into it everyone started thinking I was crazy so I went to see a physiologist to help my moodiness. A year & a half in I realized nothing was helping, I was diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression. That was odd to me being that when I was in high school I was happy & outgoing.. My family blamed my relationship for my unhappiness but it was the pill. On top of that I gained 30lbs within the two years of taking it. Now I'm off that crap & happier than ever, I'm normal me again & my relationships with everyone improved!"


"Injections are expensive...but they are the only thing that I have found that work for my cluster headaches.  Truly a lifesaver.  The burning sensation is ugly, but better than the viciousness ripping of my head to pieces."


"Ladies,
I must say I am so relieved to read some of these reviews. I have never had a problem with weight in my life and within 3 WEEKS of the insert of the Implanon, I gained 20 POUNDS. For the past 5 months, I have attempted to lose the weight, but its fairly close to impossible. I've been on the Implanon for 6 months and I have a removal appointment tomorrow. While I did not experience spotting or lower back pains, I did suffer with headaches very often. "


"I took Monistat 7 last night and it was okay. But this morning I woke up and it was burning it was causing me a lot of discomfort. I took a shower with cool water to try to rinse out the rest of the medication but, it did not work. Since I am still burning I'm going to stop using the medication and visit my doctor because it's not getting better. I'm extremely upset because I took an over-the-counter test before you treat and the stick remained yellow so it said if it's yellow that means you have a yeast infection but when I took the medication Monistat 7 I started burning and having lots of irritation. Prior to me taking this medication I did not have any burning non itching just a slight irritation and discharge.Will never use again."


"Terrible - depression, mood swing, highs and lows, uncontrollable moods, went to emergency room for possible DVT turned out to be nothing... I have spotted everyday taking this pill last two months and have pink discharge after sex."


"I am on day 5 taking Chantix. I had smoked 1 pack a day to 7 cigs a day!  My skin color is back, appetite increased which is good because I am a size 2, I feel healthier and cleaner. I smoked for 13 years. I can feel my body is in the healing process. I hope to kick this bad habit to the curb forever in 3-6 months and Never return to smoking! I pay the high price of withdrawal symptoms to only become a non smoker and be healthier."


"I have been taking for 4 months now. I felt improvement after 3 weeks but even more balanced after 6 weeks. It was hard to be patient to wait weeks for something to work but I'm glad I stuck with it. I had headaches during the first month but haven't had any other negative side effects and I'm very sensitive to side effects. I actually had been prescribed this medicine years ago but I never took it because I was worried about increased anxiety but I haven't experienced anxiety at all even during the first days/weeks of starting it. I almost feel like I'm not taking any medication, I just feel normal. I started exercising, engaging in hobbies, lost 7 lbs and have not been drinking or craved alcohol at all and I used to drink wine often."


"Have been on Latuda (80 mg) for 3 months and it has done wonders for me.  I am primarily manic and Latuda has helped me greatly.  Much better than Seroquel and a whole bunch of others. Some mild nausea but if I take it with the 350 calories required this equates to no nausea.  still suffer from elevated anxiety but that's another issue."


"My experience with Velivet was horrible. I was on Velivet for a year and a half. I've been on Ovcon(loved it), Femcon(also great) and now Apri(hate it). Velivet was the worst though. The good things about Velivet: Perfect for contraception, great for regulating your period, increased my breast size by half a cup, no real cramps, no weight gain. The bad things about Velivet. Crying and or angry over nothing all the time. ZERO sex drive. I wouldn't recommend it."


"I've been on Atenolol for the past 3 yrs, but previously have been on many other types of bp medications that did not work as well. The problem is now I'm experiencing the side effects that others have reported on such as the sensitivity to light, decreased sexual arousal, dizziness occasionally, swollen ankles, and gout.  I have pain near my heart, and my legs, hands or feet "fall asleep" all the time. In the regards off lowering my pressure, it does the job. But the side effects are starting to get to me, and the longer I take this it may get worse. So I'm talking to my doctor to wean me off this stuff."


"After taking 100mg daily, it took me roughly 3 months for my migraines to dramatically stop. I went from having approximately 12 migraines monthly to having maybe two. The side effects of this medication for me: for 3 weeks I could not focus, extreme fatigue, restlessness. I cannot drink anything carbonated, as a result, I lost 20 pounds in the first month. Serious appetite loss. I've been on this medication for 9 months and lost a total of 43 pounds. I have to take in the morning otherwise I cannot sleep. It also helps with my OCD tendencies. If you can make it through 3 weeks of outter space, this medication is worth it!!"


"At 76 I need a little push (or kick in the butt). I got the 25s. Used a couple of prescriptions over time and wanted to try a 50mg dose. Doubled my 25s and found no improvement in erection length of time - I'm back to the 25s.
Overall Viagra does it's job IF some foreplay is engaged in.
I take to interfering medications and I'm very happy with the product"


"My pain level was10  most of the  pain from severe back problems down my left leg into my foot. After many medicines which made me groggy sick to my stomach and not able to really function. My doctor prescribed  Nucynta ER. I can function without most side affects. The only side effect seemed to be like a light recall problem. When carrying on a conversation. Example names and places times. I could go all around what I wanted to say then finally. It would come to me."


"I love Tri-Sprintec , it has saved me from many different incidents. I highly recommend any young person between 14-30 to be on this, does not make you gain weight, it makes your diet steady!"


"Works splendidly when first prescribed but over time loses it's effectiveness and one develops a tolerance to it's effectiveness.  Due to it's short half-life in the body, it peters out quite quickly ( /- 2 hours).  Would not recommend long-term treatment with this medicine (>6 months)."


"I'm 16 years old and I've had migraines since I was 2 years old. I was on topamax for a month and already started feeling stupid, constantly drowsy, depressed, I couldn't remember what i had done a day ago. Being 16 and still in high school, this was a problem. I ended up having an allergic relationship to the mediation two weeks after taking it. It had felt like I was about to die. I thought I had taken some kind of horrible drug that was about to kill me. I had rapid heart beat, slurring speak, deplayed responses, I was mentally not there, my vision was messed up, and much more. Worst med ever."


"I'm on my third week and cannot wait to get my period and go back to pills. The first week I was nauseous, but that went away. For all weeks I've been anxious, paranoid, emotional, unable to sleep through the night, and broken out. My breasts have increased a full size, and were incredibly sore the first two weeks. The breakout started on my forehead but now, during week three, has taken over my arms! My chest and back are also broken out. So disappointed that the patch did not clear my skin like Loryna pills, it has only made my skin worse. The estrogen must be too high of a dosage for me."


"I do not tolerate any medications. I have 5 herniated discs and this is the only thing I can take that works. It works, a bit hard on the stomach though. I would suggest yogurt to help your stomach and do not drink any coffee! A Great Medication for those that cannot take strong medicine."


"So, after a bad reaction to Blisovi, my doctor tried LoLo for me.  Turns out its basically the same as Blisovi, in terms of active ingredients.  The first week on this, I started getting small white bumps above my lips and my lips became very dry.  Then, I got a rash all over my stomach and on my legs.  It turns out I'm allergic to one of the main ingredients in this pill, norethindrone.  I'm only adding this information because if you have similar experiences with  Blisovi or LoLo, check out the similarities in terms of active ingredients.  It's worth checking out drugs that don't contain norethindrone if your experience is similar to mine, such as Yaz or a Yaz generic (Loryna, Gianvi). Rash is almost gone since I switched to Loryna. :)"


"I suffered with social anxiety for many years.  My neck would get red blotches when I had to be the center of attention.  Zoloft along with alprozolam has helped me tremendously!  I always thought I had to live with this and there wasn't a cure.  After researching the internet, I found out what I had.  My husband also takes Zoloft to control his depression, withdrawal, anger and road rage and it helps him sleep really good.  One drawback is that it made us both gain weight, but that has leveled off.  I hope my post helps someone else out there."


"I have been taking Zoloft for two weeks now and feel remarkably better. Very mellow. I am also sleeping much better and waking more refreshed. In conjunction with the Zoloft, I was also prescribed Clorazepate.  This combination is working very well for me. I have even had a few giddy moments and that has not happened in a very long time."


"I used Humira after many other treatments didn't work.  Humira barely helped and after almost $1000 in Meds and Doc visits I quit everything.  "


"This is the first birth control method I have ever used. I'm 18.  I have been on it for a little over 7 months. I absolutely love it. Let me just start with the pros: breasts got more firm. My skin actually became more clean. (I've always had clear skin) but this helped even more. The only negative side effects I would say is that you sometimes may experience mood swings. I have  a short temper so that could also be my fault. This pill does NOT make you gain weight.  It only makes you hungrier than usual. I highly recommend this pill for all women. I love it!"


"I think the medication does what it's supposed to do. However I did experience a couple of noticeable side effects. I had diarrhea every day that I took the pills (2 times a day for 7 days) and it also made my urine very dark...almost a brown color. But those are both side effects that are listed for the medications so I wasn't too alarmed by them. Wish the medication came in a one day coated tablet! If you don't take enough fluid with them and it just so happens to touch your taste buds YUCK! Other than that no complaints"


"I started Latuda (20 mg) about 2 weeks ago and felt improvement almost immediately, like within 24 hours. I was extremely skeptical thinking it was just an anomaly but I have felt good every day since starting it. I am bipolar 1 and was in EXTREME depression and anxiety before starting it. I do not take it with food and have had no nausea. (As a matter of fact I had had more nausea before starting Latuda than after! ) I have been on about 8 other meds and none have worked like this. Just 3 weeks ago I could not even sit at the table for a family dinner. I was so depressed and anxious I would leave almost immediately. Now I feel happy ( yes happy!) and sociable. At first it made me sleepy but that one side effect has left."


"Works okay, gives average relief."


"Massive allergic reaction, looked like skin had been burned,  has taken 5 days of hydrocortisone to calm down."


"I've had plugged ears from sinus congestion for two weeks. I took two doses every four hours of two tablets each and the congestion has finally cleared but I didn't realize that it would make for a sleepless jittery night and now a jittery morning with no appetite and mild nausea. Next time I would start with one tablet and see if that helps and make sure I had plenty of time before going to sleep."


"Great for Panic disorder."


"I started taking Nexium for gastroesophageal reflux disease. Found it helped keeping Rosacea under control. What a wonderful "side-effect""


"SO far so good!  Otezla customer service are the best!  I have just started Otezla and no side effects at all -- in fact it seems I have more energy and less itching of my scalp already! No headaches or stomach issues, but will keep an eye out for that later. I am so happy to be able to try this drug as the biologics scare me with cancer issues. I will keep in touch!"


"As far as I know, Zomig is a swallowed tablet and Zomig-ZMT is the orally disintegrating tablet, with a zingy orange flavor. I didn't notice much difference but I imagine the ZMT works faster as it disperses in the mouth. With this abortive, as with many, it works best if you take it 'during onset of migraine'. This is an issue for me because sometimes at onset I'm not sure if it will actually develop into a migraine, so I don't take it and then I am in agony two hours later, even with two doses, which are not/hardly effective since I've missed onset."


"I had my implant put in July 2014. I've had no stop issues ever since! I've had a 3 month long period, heavy and painful periods, extreme weight gain etc. I was a size 6/8 I'm now a 10/12 (I'm not eating any different). Due to the weight gain and issues with periods I wanted it taking out ASAP! I went to have it taken out and they couldn't find it..the doctors, clinic etc nobody could find it! I have now been referred to a specialist to use a scanner to find it- I'm sticking to the pill when I finally get it taken out"


"Awesome, wipes out blisters due to poison ivy, in two days."


"Loosened the deep chested tightness and made it much easier to cough mucus up and out."


"I've been on depo for about 2 years. I just got my shot in feb 3. everything was good then I started to bleed heavy the first time but now it's light. I would even bleed after sex. The bleeding would stop for a couple of hours but it would come right back. It's an everyday thing!!! I've also been having pelvic and back pain really bad."


"I'm on my second Mirena and I think it's great! The first one I got, took a long time to stop spotting.. I was frustrated and wanted it out. My doctor's office, suggested waiting, and giving it a chance. I'm really happy I listened! Each month, it got better. Those beginning days, are so far behind me now.. I haven't had any problems, at all.. Definitely worth it!"


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


"I have been suffering from anxiety for several years. My mind was racing, I would have anxiety attacks, shake from nerves....I felt like a prisoner in my own body. I often felt like I had no control and worried about everything going on in my life. My doctor prescribed 10mg of lexapro and it has literally changed my life. I can now get through the day without the overwhelming worry and anxiety I was living with every single day. Initially the side effects were tough, fatigue, sleeplessness, and headache.....they faded quickly. Recommend taking it before bed. I am thrilled with lexapro and can not say enough about what a change this medication has made on my life."


"I have taken 10 units yesterday for the first time I started with 10 units at 7am from 18.5 blood sugar, went up to 21.5 at 8am. I went to tesco shopping at 10am collapsed could not breath I was shaky, dizzy, and sweaty, two girls took me back to my car,  phoned my wife she drove me home went to bed tested my blood sugar it was Hi, I tested my sugar every hour. It was at 1pm it went down to 30.7 and not until 7pm did it down to 15.8 and 9pm to 13.5 blood sugar this was the very first day....??? this nearly kill me..."


"I was put on lisinopril 2x in 1yr n both times it made me have a cough as if i had the whooping cough...all I did was cough like I was coughing up my insides....I immediately stopped taking it once I realized it was the same meds they had me take before...I'm on a different bp meds very few coughs but not as bad as coughing up my insides...my advise is google read n  investigate your meds before taking them"


"I have been off Prozac for about 4 weeks now...after starting 2 years ago for a terrible depression/sadness/menopause. Wanted to take a Holiday to see what would happen. When on Prozac side effects like decrease sexual drive and slight weight gain, otherwise it put my menopause symptoms in control Decrease my hot flashes, helped my sadness, and gave relief for some mild OCD that I have had for years. Now when I am off the medicine I notice and increase in my OCD behaviors. Not concentrating as well at work. Sexual appetite is still not that great despite a wonderful patient husband (could still just be the menopause). Hot flashes have not really returned and I do not feel overwhelmingly sad. I will start Prozac tomorrow and see if it help with OCD."


"I don't know why anyone would prescribe Seroxat for depression. I was given this for anxiety and depression and while it does help my anxiety to some extent, it doesn't work as an 'antidepressant' and actually gives me suicidal tendencies and for that reason I would recommend not taking it for depression. I take 40mg and plan to stop taking Seroxat and choosing something safer and more effective."


"I'm prescribed tramadol 50mg every 4 hours as needed. I'm only 22 with a herniated disc/pinched nerve, scoliosis and suffer neuorpathic pain. I will admit these help the neuropathy condition; however, I need to take 4-5 at a time. I don't see how one or 2 could help, but it could just be my tolerance. If you're working a physical job with serious herniated disc issues I wouldn't expect much help from these and would stay on hydrocodone or oxycodone. If some sort of neuropathy condition, I'd give these a try. I only go on these for a week or 2 at a time then take a break to avoid withdrawals. Eat something after taking these to avoid an upset stomach. I'd still MUCH rather take hydrocodone for pain to be honest."


"Rapaflo works just as well as Flomax in terms of flow and I don't get as dizzy or conjested.  It felt weird having no ejaculate and my orgasm was not as intense
as it was with Flomax.  "


"Be careful when you take this! The first time I popped a blue pill, my tongue felt itchy and tingled. I thought nothing of it. Gradually, I had noticed that my reproductive organs were acting up, but I thought it would just go away. It got to the point where they were so sore, I couldn't use tampons without being in constant pain. (Not to mention I had a strange clear discharge that would soak through the tampon leaking through my pants and staining the chair at work... That was fun. My gyno didn't know what it was, which was comforting.) 3 months into it and with the mentality that everything would just go away with continued use, I broke into hives everywhere on my body: inside my ears, all over my tongue, everywhere you can think of."


"I have been on Apri for about two months. My sex drive is almost completely gone which causes problems between my fiance and I. I am also very moody all the time. I'm planning on getting an Mirena instead."

"I have used the OC for 11 years. During that time I have only decreased my dosage. Now, the OP formula simply doesn't work. I take 2-3X the breakthrough pain medicines, I have added ibuprofen and naproxen to my regimen. I am going to have to increase my OP dosage on my next visit because it simply doesn't work. Thia new formula is ineffective. I'm going to discuss switching to a different medication, but the OC used to work so well. I was able to go canoeing and walking in the woods. Now I'm back to missing work."


"I have been taking Abilify for a week. It has already taken the edge off the rages.  However, am still experiencing high anxiety.  My family says I am calmer so that is deinitely a plus.  I feel tired and wired at the same time - it is a weird feeling.  I am very paranoid.  I was paranoid before but this seems to have made it worse. But I am only on 2 mg's. At least the rages are better.  I am hopeful that this medication along with help from my doctor will be enough to get my life back."


"Hello ladies, I've had the implanon for 2 years now and I can say I like it but also there are things I don't like about it. I got my implanon inserted in 2015 and didn't have any problems with it until about 6 months into it. After that I've had periods 2 times a month - every month that has lasted for about 5 days, sometimes even lasted a week. The second thing I don't like about it is I have no sex drive what so ever. Another thing I don't like is my hair falls out and I can't seem to stop gaining weight and I'm tired a lot, I also got diagnosed with panic disorders"


"I'm on the 17th day of taking Harvoni. I have stage 4 cirrhosis and have had hep C for 17 years that I know of. I take the pill at night before bed, the same time every night. I drink 80 oz of water a day. I am 70 years old. After 13 days I had my blood tested and hep C is undetectable!  A miracle!  I have had no side effects. Will be taking it for 12 weeks total. I am thrilled!"


"I'm a 45 yr old woman, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 4 yrs ago. I was prescribed Metformin, then added glipizide, which made me gain a half a pound a day until I quit taking it 30 days & 15 lbs later. Then I was prescribed Victoza. The first 3 weeks, I was sick to my stomach, all day, every day. I had NO energy at all. I would get out of bed, get dressed & then lay back down - it was really THAT bad. BUT after around the 4th week, I started feeling normal again. My A1C went from 9.2 to 5.4 in just 5 weeks. Now, I am never above 130 -even after have a can of Pepsi. Also, I  lost 30lbs in 45 days. Just amazing! Suffer through the initial sickness, don't give up on it, Victoza is a life changer! Victoza website for discount card. I pay $25/month."


"I had so many problems walking holding stuff in my hand and I start taking this drug that I have never heard of, I started seeing a new doctor that's how I learned about it. It has helped me so much that I get teary eyed just thinking about it. The doctor that I am seeing now may have saved my life."


"Recently I retired from public safety. I should have been happy and content to have a lot of free time. My friends all said I looked rested and better than I had in years. What they did not know is how depressed I was and how much I missed the work and my work friends.  Reluctantly my doctor prescribed Bupropion HCL 150 mg for seven days then 300 mg daily in the AM. After the first day, I was already feeling better. I just finished the first two weeks and I'm feeling so much better. Occasionally I still have negative thoughts. Side effects include anxiety and an elevated BP.  I'm happy with the results and believe the medication has taken me away from the edge. I will post updates periodically."


"For the last 3 years I have been plagued with inflammation in every joint; my knees especially. Recently my lower back went out. Doctor prescribed etodolac and call me crazy but overnight my lower back pain is gone. My knees are also feeling so much better. Wow."


"I was too drunk to know if I was protected on Aug 26th. I took Plan B August 28th. I had no side effects. I got my period on time. Try to breathe, it will be okay! xo"


"I have been taking Atenolol (50mg) for a month or so now. There was an immediate drop in blood pressure and my anxiety has lessened so that I need my Xanax much less often.  One thing I have noticed is that I wake up a few times a night with pain in whatever shoulder I have been sleeping on.  It feels like joint pain and lasts for about an hour after awakening.  Otherwise it does not effect my sleep. Another side effect is that, an hour after taking it, I yawn and my eyes water.  Also, the first two weeks I took it I had diarrhea when previous to that I was constipated, but that has subsided."


"I have been on Epclusa for 8 weeks. Just got back from Dr. Had blood work done at 4 weeks in. NO hep c type 2 detected in just 4 weeks!  Probably got hep in early 80s. Diagnosed in 1990. Side effects were very tired at times, body aches, headaches but not much worst than I had before taking meds. I would like to thank Gilead for co-pay program. Doing better now. My mind seems clearer and starting to feel better."


"This is a miracle. I have  been  very  bad  for  8  years.  There  was  nothing  more  the  doctors  could  do  for me until this came out. I am  off of all my other medicine  now and just take 1 pill a day. I do like to take it  at the  end of  the  day  after my  dinner  then I  go  before  bed. Will not  be  without  it  ever again."


"I suffered from severe asthma from childhood till I was 50. Several attacks required hospitalization and I was on every medicine known to treat asthma over this time period including extended periods of prednisolone, rescue inhalers, plus theophyline, Alupent, etc. I started taking Advair in 2002 and since that time have had no attacks whatsoever. For the first 3 years I still carried my Albuterol inhaler but finally had the confidence to stop carrying them. A momentous day indeed and not without some trepidation. I have suffered no side effects at all and this medicine has been a life changer and potentially a life saver for me. I hope it can do the same for you. I never believed I would be rid of asthma but I am."


"There is an awful lot of things I have to take separately now and I usually always take my medicines with milk and that is a big adjustment. However it seems to be doing the trick but I have heartburn and a bad taste in my mouth all the time and I don't like that at all. I will be taking my last dose on Thursday."


"My Dr. started me on daily Cialis (5mg.) because of erection problems due to my blood pressure medicine.  It has been a huge help!  In addition, we discovered that it has helped significantly with urine flow and the urge to go.  I now usually get up only once per night.  Recently my Dr. switched my blood pressure medicine from Diovan HCT to Losartan.  Soon after I began having even better erections.  I read that the combination of the two  - Cialis and Losartan - can be a big help to Diabetics.  "


"I'd been taking Prozac for a few years, but its effects wore off, so I switched to this. I'm very glad I did. It completely got rid of my panic attacks and obsessive worries, and reminded me how good life can be without them. I still feel sluggish, but I always have, even before I started SSRIs. The most noticeable side effects have been weight gain and erectile dysfunction. I'm going to try nefazadone and see if that works for me without the side effects. But if you don't have these side effects or they're not a big deal, I highly recommend Zoloft."


"Had the worst experience with this gel. I'm not the type to suffer from side effects and I reacted badly to this. It burnt my skin and went red raw for at least 4/5 days. It was also very very dry. Having acne is horrible but this cream is not worth it."


"So far the medicine has been working well, without much side effect that I can attest to."

"This the only birth control that gets rid of my cramps and makes that time of the month much more pleasant. I've been on it for almost a year. The only thing I do experience is being dry every once in a while but that's an easy fix. I don't bleed so much and I never have to think twice about a condom. "


"I got this shot in January after having my son ever since then I haven't stopped bleeding I'm certainly thinking of taking the pill better I guess my body isn't working with this shot. But it is very effective!"


"Gave me urinary tract infections and kidney stones."


"I have been taking Zonegran, 300mg/daily for 8 years. I have complex partial seizures that generalize about 90% of the time. I have tried just about every other medication out there and this is the only one that has kept my epilepsy under control. I do have side effects: some depression, anorexia (defined as loss of appetite). I started this medication weighing around 125lbs and now after three children weigh 105lbs and can't remember the last time I was hungry, and I have noticed that it is harder for me to retain information and I sometimes have to read things twice to understand them where before Zonegran I easily understood and retained information. Despite these side effects, I won't ever try a different medication. Totally worth it."


"I started Paxil  to control anxiety.  The first brand was Auribindo. It worked about one month.  I was using less Klonopin. Then out of the blue I had a Panic attack that put me in the hospital overnight.  Then I switched generic brands to Zydus.  On my first dose I thought I would die.  It felt like I had overdosed. It happened within 10 minutes of taking that brand.  It was only 15mg.  I have now received the Dylan brand and will take it in the morning.  I say this for people who think the Paxil may not work.  You need to do a trial run on these no good generics.  I felt like I was dying plus so nauseated on the Zydus brand.  Hopefully the Nylon will work.  I am running out of brands to try."


"Flushing similar to hot flashes, nausea, severe headaches/migraines, increased diarrhea the day of infusion for up to two weeks after."


"I've been on Viibryd 20mg for about 2 weeks. The side effects were rough at first, to the point I wanted to quit. There's no major markers to show that my depression is lifted, but I'm not sad all the time anymore. The big change for me, is not that I have extra energy, but I don't feel like I'm being weighed down. I have patience with my 2 yr old. If the effects peak at 8 weeks, I can't wait. I'm very happy."


"9 times out of 10 Excedrin Migraine does the trick for me. I have used other OTC products and nothing gives me relief like Excedrin Migraine. I get very bad one-sided migraines and this is the only medicine that actually does what it promises. I get relief within the first 15 to 20 minutes. My doctor even gave me prescription Fioricet once and I was not NEARLY as effective as Excedrin Migraine. So I stopped taking it and went back to Excedrin Migraine."


"Wish I had read these reviews first. Holy hell. I would take the rawness I was feeling before the cream over this horrible weird burning/stinging any day! Don't use it, I repeat do not use it. Especially not around the urethra :(

Ow ow ow"


"I was super nervous for my Mirena insertion and for no reason! The process from start to finish was about 2 minutes and I had zero pain. The most significant discomfort was the speculum which was mild. I highly recommend Mirena to anyone looking for long-term, low maintenance birth control."


"I had gained 100 pounds over the last 4 years due to having my son, and hormone imbalances, and nothing has worked in the past. I'm currently on the 15 day free trial and I was very suspicious of a drug like this. However, I am on Day 13 and I have lost a total of 11 pounds in just under 2 weeks! I cannot be happier. I did not have any of the symptoms listed on some of the other posts (dizziness, headaches ect.) I do have a little bit of dry mouth which just forces me to drink more water. My insurance doesn't cover this, but I have the $75 copay card, which is a god send, because the medication is usually well over $200"


"Lamictal has changed my life. I'm a diagnosed bipolar 1 and have had friends and family notice massive changes in my personality. I never knew life could be so happy and easy."


"I have terminal Lupus/rheumatoid arthritis, 20  secondary conditions. Constant Nausea for years, ate very little vomiting till in ER, dehydration. Compazine Meclizine, no relief. Dr's prescribed Phenergan 4x a day gives me a appetite   Zofran 120 tablets a keeps it down, NOT dissolvable. My other medications (Dilaudid 8mgs 4-6 a day, Exalgo 32Mgs for severe body wide pain, 2 Muscle relaxers Flexeril in the AM, Zanaflex PM. Xanax for Essential Tremor Disorder and Diazepam (Valium) in the afternoon/evening for seizures and Anxiety also helps with side effects of Prednisone jittery, etc.) makes nausea worse. Zofran is a MIRACLE! When REALLY nauseated take 2, gone in mins, food stays down! No side effects."


"I just recently finished my first pack of Ocella and I don't have many things to complain about except the cramps during my period!!! They were deadly & so uncomfortable. My period was heavy also. But I'm on it to regulate my period. I haven't gained any weight but I've been noticing pimples popping up and I've never had this problem before I'm not sure if my hormones aren't used to it yet but the acne sucks & my breast have been tender also. But overall it's a pretty good birth control method."


"I have tried Doxepin, Escitalopram, and others. Remeron or Mirtazapine is the best for chronic insomnia with depression (my issue).  It also reduces day time anxiety. I feel relaxed but sufficiently alert for mental and physical work. i think my efficiency has increased with it.

So far no weight issues either (I think not all people will gain weight, probably only a small minority), stomach feels great. No dry mouth, no anticholinergic side-effects.

Even my allergies are dying. Hamstring pain is also reduced, which is suffer from. and somehow one of my painful cyst has also disappeared. All in all my daytime posture is better than ever since the age of 18. I feel youthful.

The only negative side-effect I feel is increased urination."


"I was on this pill for just three weeks and noticed a major increase in anxiety and depression.  I was miserable until I realized it wss from this pill.  I stopped it immediately and shortly began feeling so much better.  If you have a history of anxiety do not take this pill"


"I have used this for years. Women tend to have a hard time with yeast infection during the time of taking antibiotics. Well taking this 4 times a day will keep it at bay. Also taking it once a day on regular basis helps to keep the yeast in the vagina from growing. I have used this for oral thrush also. Eating yogurts will take care of that."


"I have been taking 100mg of Savella per day for about 6 weeks. Many of the side effects have subsided at this point and my fibromyalgia pain is minimal. However, my anxiety and moodiness has only increased. I occasionally take clonazepam, but it's so sedating and addictive, I don't want to take more than the prescribed 1mg per day. The first time in 10 years I have had minimal pain, but the anxiety and agitation are crippling at times."


"Seems not to be working for my pain, not sleeping any better as pain keeps me awake."


"Was quite effective in combination with Seroquel.  I felt A LOT better!  Drymouth and sleepiness were the only real side effects and they weren't that harsh.  Easy to use."


"I have been taking this medication for about 4 days now, still feel hungry and have some what of cravings, but I usually never have extreme cravings to begin w/. That beings said I did read someones review declaring not to quit yet, because it took at least the 2nd week before she actually felt like something/Contrave was working. So I am hopeful that this is true. The drug does make me SUPER super tired, which sucks, as I suffer from chronic fatigue, due to a tick born illness. I'll stick with it and I will post an update then....."


"Insomnia started years ago due to ageing. Tried several sleep aids then settled on just 1/2mg Melatonin nightly. Gives me 6-8 hrs sleep including REM. Often remember dreams; like watched or created 3-4 different movies in my mind i.e. REM every 2hrs.

Would give Melatonin a 10 except every 2 wks or so it  stops working. Tried increasing dosage at that point but even going up to just 1mg gives me neurological twitches.

For me, a retiree, what works is 2 wks 1/2mg alternating with 2 wks of zero sleep aids, tolerating sleeplessness.

Beware of doctors who offer to replace Melatonin with things that will fry your brains while sparing your heart.

Melatonin does not directly induce sleep; it can nudge your body's natural melatonin production."


"After trying everything under the sun - speaking classes, herbal, homeopathic, medicines, etc. Wasting time and thousands of dollars along the way, I found the miracle drug. Voila no more blushing, quivering, shaking, trembling voice. If you experience any of these symptoms when giving an intro or speaking to a group, its the end of your misery. If it worked for a speaking disaster like me, it will work for anyone.

Thank you Sir James Black for your invention. You gave me a new life."


"Hi, I'm 18 years old.. I started taking Wellbutrin 3 months ago when my Psychiatrist put me on. I looked up reviews up in here, and recommended I should be prescribed. Anyway, the first couple months are horrible but don't give up! 1 month ago all my problems with Prozac were alleviated my focus was 10X better (I also have ADHD so my grades skyrocketed)! And my depression died..yes DIED, I laugh so much now people at my school ask me why I laugh so much it's refreshing actually. Anyway... Prozac gave me severe loss of libido (on a serious note) I'm 18 so it bothered me horribly that I had a low sex drive on Prozac after months on end of taking Prozac my libido became ED.... And I lived a fairly healthy life trust me. Wellbutrin fixed my problems"


"I suffer from PTSD and Panic Disorder.  I have given Zoloft a good 3 months. I started at 25mg and worked up to 150mg. Although it did seem like it took the edge off my suffering temporarily, my body seemed to be fighting the medication the whole time. At 50mg I suffered panic attacks that were much more severe than the ones I had prior to the medication. I found some tranquility at 100mg for a week,  then my PCP put me at 150mg to see if things improved. They did not improve. I experienced increased agitation, tremors, shaking like my body was in fear, yet I was not, sweating, then hot flashes. My blood pressure skyrocketed. My PCP referred me to a psychiatrist who put me back at 100mg.  Symptoms subsided, but after a week it became clear my body was rejecting the medication altogether. Yesterday I was on Zoloft, having hot flashes, sweating, severe panic attacks, racing heartbeat, and high blood pressure. Today, I am on 10mg of Lexapro and my blood pressure is fantastic. I have not had a panic attack all day. Sure, it's only been a day and my body may react differently after taking it for awhile, but it has been a welcome change from the Zoloft. I wished I had asked for a change sooner, but I have never been on antidepressants before."


"The Target brand Acidophilus probiotic helped relieve my initial symptoms of IBS (gas every morning and reduced the frequency throughout the day, brain fog, and heavy stomach cramping).  My Gastroenterologist gave me a free 30-day sample to check it's effectiveness on me in 2014. Xifaxin was not as effective as my acidophilus, gave me the urge to urinate too frequently, didn't stop my frequent gas (one of my main concerns), and is way too expensive to use on a daily basis.

I'm still looking for a permanent solution as the Target Acidophilus has stopped working for me. Now I use the Country Life Acidophilus as it gives the most relief (except gas), is affordable and comes with 250 tablets in a bottle so I don't run out as quickly."


"My mother has been taking it for one month and her dementia - which was mild - has gotten worse. She is confused and thinks that my brother lives with her. She was taking samples as she cannot afford the medicine"


"hi ladies! just want to say this pill WORKS! But you really have to take it asap! I took mine about 30 hours after having sex using withdrawal and I got my period right on time. Take some gravol and/or tylenol with it to avoid nausea/headache and remember that although the side effects of the pill are almost exactly the same as pregnancy, you wouldn't be feeling them until at LEAST 2 weeks after sex. DON'T STRESS and try to keep your mind off worrying because that'll delay your period and ESPECIALLY don't do research on google because that will just freak you out even more (trust me I freaked out so much I fainted). I would recommend having this pill in your medicine cabinet in case of an emergency so you have easy and quick access to it. xo"


"Kinda late getting in the loop here, but I started on wellbutrin sr 150mg for major depression then was increased to 300mg after finding the 150 was minimally helping. Was having some generalized anxiety but evidently wasn't bad enough during the assessment period while in outpatient treatment to warrant a diagnosis for it. After OP treatment the 300mg was helping some for the depression, but not as much as would like so I was increased to 450mg. Up until that point the anxiety bit was pretty manageable, but after about a week or so on 450mg my anxiety started to skyrocket. I didn't feel much more help on the depression side at 450mg though. However, with the heightened anxiety I went back to 300mg. Talked to my primary doc who seemed to think that the Wellbutrin shouldnt have much effect on anxiety  (despite conflicting evidence to the contrary I've read online on multiple sites) so he put me on celexa 10mg as well recently for the anxiety and notified my therapist as well. Not been on the celexa long enough yet to see how much it helps, but it has made me somewhat queezy as was communicated as a side effect of celexa.

So the short of it is my anxiety didn't get real bad until going from 300mg to 450mg of wellbutrin and the depression has only had limited help going from 150mg to 300mg to even 450mg. I guess we'll see how well both celexa 10mg and wellbutrin Sr 300mg work for me for the anxiety and depression."


"I used to smoke for more than (20 ) years. My daughter showed me a book that had pictures of a smokers lungs. See than asked, Daddy do you want your lungs to look like this?
This made me realize what is important to me. Immediately the following day, I went to the store asked for a garbage can, and I threw my last pack away.
Bought me a two week supply of NicodermCQ and that was the last time I have smoked a cigarette. Which was 6 years ago. Thank for the extra assistance with working towards a better way of life."


"I was in England when I started getting feeling of depersonalization, forehead pressure, fear, negative thoughts and irritation etc. I came back to my country and consulted a doctor. He diagnosed me with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. What he prescribed me may have worked but honestly speaking I did not give fair chance to the prescribed medicine.  He did not prescribe me Xanax but I managed to get it from somewhere myself as I had read about its effectiveness against anxiety. It worked perfectly for me. I killed my anxiety with it. It normalizes me and keeps me going ahead in life. I give 9/10. "


"After being on two different pill birth controls, I was tired of not feeling like myself- unhappy, negative, anxious, crying. I was scared to get the IUD but I pushed myself and it's so worth it. The insertion was painful, but quick and I have a great gynecologist who coached me through it. The worst part was the intense cramps and spotting for the next week, which would return off and on for the following month. However, my emotions are sooo much more stable and I feel very protected. I do have cramps sometimes that are worse than before I had the IUD, but I would take that over depression and anxiety any day."


"I have lower back disc herniations that aren't helped by epidural injections and need surgery, so my family MD says. I have not been to a neurosurgeon. Yet. I was given prednisone in a dosepak, 40 mg for 3 days, 30 mg for 3 days, etc. It was a tremendous help. I was able to bend again without pain. The family MD is very strict about dose levels. He will only give me that tapering dose twice a year. I have been planning my vacations and special events around it. Now I have obtained prednisone generic from an Indian manufacturer without a prescription.  I am doing more of these tapers a year with great relief. I know I am taking a risk in many areas, but the pain was too great.  I am happy with my decision."


"Just increased from 20mg to 40mg 4 days ago. Can't tell if I'm feeling any better. Also on Zyprexa for treatment resistant depression and Ativan which appears to have stabilized my anxiety. Will continue talking Prozac and give it the full 8 weeks before making any changes. So far it's the Ativan that seems to be working the best for me. Been dealing with this illness for over 15 years and have been on it seems like most of the medications available."


"Initially I really liked this medication.  Much less initial sting after application than the drops I used before.  However, after about two weeks of use, I had an allergic reaction that caused my eyes to appear as if I had conjunctivitis.  Didn't realize it was the Lastacaft and went to the doctor for anti-biotic drops.  After my eyes cleared up in two or three days, I again applied Lastacaft and immediately looked like my eyeballs were bleeding.  My vision got blurry and my eyes were very sensitive to light.  I am one of the <4% with an allergic reaction. "


"I was experiencing a lot of discharge, itching and burning. The doctor verified that I had a vaginal bacterial infection.  The Metronidazol Tab 500 mg tablet was given to me for 7 days.  I feel sick to my stomach and dizzy most of the time.  The left side of my face feels a little numb.  The taste in my mouth is awful, but I chew gum to counteract it. I have 2 doses to take yet, and find it hard to swallow because of there is no coating on the tablets. Hopefully it did it's job without causing any other problems."


"Me and my girlfriend had a condom mishap. We started to freak out but bought the pill 3 hours later. Waited for 2 weeks and her period was 1 day early. This pill works and is effective. Thankful for it."


"Worst drug!!Save yourself by not trying this poison. Had serious lung injury."


"Didn't work for me. Now on Doxycycline"


"This medicine saved my teenager from horrible OCD. 200mg at bedtime, dry mouth is the only side effect. Every once in awhile he will have an episode, but I am able to talk him through it. He tried every med, this was the only one that worked."


"Im 17 had implanon for over a year. No condoms or pulling out and havent had any pregnancy scares, Its great for me"


"Lexapro has given me back my life! Before I started on Lexapro, my job performance suffered, my relationships suffered and my school work suffered. I would cry randomly and have panic attacks. Now, I am happier and get along with people better. I am doing well at work and school."


"Personally this drug helped my mood swings greatly, however I was quite disturbed that it agitated my diet as much as it did. I have a co-morbid eating disorder which was agitated by the med. The Topirimate made it so I HAD to eat my food a very specific way. Something soft, yet crunchy at the same time. Normally I wouldnt complain, however it was always on my mind.I think the hardest thing about the med was the appetite suppression for me. I was down to eating one meal a day, which ultimately let to me not loosing any weight which I can say was very difficult for me. I had increased irritability, and I felt overly fatigued. I am also on Citalopram, which is a terrible combination if you're prone to fatigue."


"Has been very helpful for both my dysautonomia and related gastroparesis symptoms.  I feel stronger too, but the effect doesn't last long.  I have to take it at least 4 x daily."


"Benadryl does knock me out but when I have bad hives, it works a lot better than other antihistamines. I get them bad enough sometimes that I have to be on prednisone as well."


"I have been taking lyrica for 3 days now after trying every pain med for the last 7 years. ..unreal. ..I am able to walk better and my pain has diminished to about a 2 or 3, I was only a little foggy on the second morning but besides that I have had no bad side effects at all. I tried nuerotin years ago but after the second day I could not function, so any one with nerve pain should give this a try. .it sure has helped me"


"I had sudden permanent hearing loss in one ear while taking Neurontin/Gabapentin at 1:30 a.m., March 2, 2004. I was also taking the pain medication Hydrocodon/Lortab. I used both for 1 1/2 years for pain after back fusion. After a pharmacist told me it could cause hearing loss, I discontinued using it.

I have met others who also had this hearing loss while taking the medication. Others had less severe hearing loss.

At the time, side effects for this medication listed the chances for this happening as one out of 300, saying it was rare. Another listed it as one out of 1,000. This doesn't appear to be a rare incidence."


"Diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1993 and tried lots of medicines. Lyrica was awesome, but became less effective after about 7 years and still had some level of pain and fatigue. Cymbalta has been fabulous. It took about 3 1/2 weeks for me to get over the side effects (restlessness, nausea, headache, jerkiness - especially at night with morning dosage), but now - I feel the best I had ever felt. My pain and fatigue are gone, and as an additional bonus, chronic low back and arthritis pain are gone too. I had no idea how much pain I had been in until Cymbalta took it away. Beware of withdrawal though. Head spins, jerkiness, "brain shock" when you move your eyes quickly, etc, very bad. Don't miss a dose or let the prescription run out by accident! Worth it to be pain free!"


"This has been the best pills I have used. They have helped me lose weight, no hair lost instead it has been growing, no mood swings, no depression."


"Wellbutrin made me a bit dizzy when I first began to take it, but on the long term it helped me quite a lot with my motivational problems and depression. I am on a 300mg dose."


"My entire body itches. I stopped taking it for 2 days and no itching. Started again and the itching started again."


"I have been on Depakote for 15 years, I have epilepsy juvenile myoclonic. No side effects for me. I really like this medicine. It makes me feel safe all the time."


"If only I'd found out about this cream earlier! I suffer from dermatitis on my face (brought on by stress) and tried everything else first, but this was the only thing that worked. Took about 2 days for me."


"Why would one take a medication for abdominal pain when one of the side effects is abdominal pain."


"I have had a horrible CFIDS relapse that we think occurred to due a CMV infection.  I could barely function at work due to fatigue and brain fog.  The doctor finally agreed to prescribe modafinil 100 mg in am and 100 mg midday.  I feel so much better, but the insurance did not want to cover it.  We battled for a week and finally got approval.  This med has worked wonders for me."


"Have been taking this for 16 days, has certainly lowered my blood pressure to normal, from 160 over 87. No noticible side effects. So far so good."


"Taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo the last 9 months and have not yet had a really significant problem. The first three months were the worst because I seemed to spot daily until my third period on this pill. Sex drive is low but not awful.  Have not seen a big change in my skin but I have a specific type of acne, so check with your doctor before taking it for that.  Always suffered from painful periods and this pill helps, but the side effect that most bothers me is long periods. I start bleeding midway through my third week and don't stop spotting until midway through the first week of next pack.  ANNOYING!"


"After using Viagra 50mg successfully for 8 years I gave the everyday 10mg Cialis a try.  During the free 30 day trial it was great.  But since then (I'm paying for it now) the results have been eratic. It's good for a week or two, and then nothing!  Very frustrating (and expensive) to have to take Viagra as well.  I'm going back to Viagra even though it is less convenient."


"I've been on the gel for 3 days... First diagnosed with a UTI with no growth. Finished Cipro and still had symptoms. Second round- pelvic exam & swab... Still had bacteria & yeast so was prescribed metro gel. No side effects - but hasn't helped my issue. Waiting for 2nd culture to come back to see if still UTI and wasn't sensitive to the Cipro and need something new. Pains from hell"


"I have had many problems (one being that it took me a lot of time for my body to get used to it) with this product. The worst side effect has been the onset of diabetes which this product is responsible for.  The question I had of my cardiologist is why in the world would he prescribe it to a high risk candidate like me -- I am Hispanic, in my 50s when it was prescribed.  I informed my PA of this after my last crisis and she is looking into prescribing a different product (one given at the hospital) but this after a few years on Toprol.  I figure that without the change from this medicine I don't stand a chance of reversing my diabetic condition."


"5 or10mg  works for muscle spasms but Dangerous if taken during daytime.

Caused uncontrolled drowsiness,  deep sleep, difficulty waking up, constipation, blurred vision and sudden unbearable  headaches leaving me unable to function. (5 or 10 MG doses were same effects)

Lost a new job just 2 months after  starting due to not realizing it was this medication's side effects of: blurred vision,  migraines & exhaustion.  I was unable to keep up with workload and didn't relate it to Flexeril because I had been on it many years ago when I was much younger.  I tried to explain to my PCP  but some docs just don't listen.  I have since stopped flexeril, no more headaches!"


"I started taking these after being hospitalized and given blood transfusions and iron. They recommended this and said it would help me. The first two weeks it did help a little. The third week is when everything started to change. I realized I had no energy to get out of bed. Simple things like brushing my teeth or taking a shower felt like the hardest things to do. I didn't want anyone to talk to me. I lost interest in my favorite tv shows and other things I always used to enjoy. My hair started falling out and I was always nauseous. I wouldn't eat ANYTHING! I started having heart palpitations and walking from one room to the next made me fatigued and dizzy. My body began to shut down. I do not recommend!!!"


"2x500mg a day for 7 days. Plus: Immediate clearing up of BV first day of taking. Must take with food! Downside: Came down with nausea, headaches, difficulty swallowing, mouth ulcers, difficulty sleeping, fogginess, and extreme fatigue. I'll opt for the localized gel next time. I used it once before, with great success (minus clumpy discharge which is no biggie) and none of these crazy flu-like symptoms!"


"My son 13 was taking this and it made tics worse. Blurred vision, erection. His tongue would do weird thing."


"This product brought new growth. It took a little while but have regrown hair back and front. I was having great anxiety over hair loss because I am only 22, however I feel so much better and look like my old self again. Would recommend."


"Deciding to take this medicine is a big decision and it took me quite a while. I got so tired of constant painful break outs that I finally decided to just go for it. For days prior to taking it, I read tons of negative and scary reviews which is the worst thing you can do before taking it. I am now on my last month (month 5) and my skin is truly unbelievable. What a transformation. I can finally leave the house without being embarrassed about my face. As for side effects, they were very mild for me. Dry skin, lips, hair, eyes, and a fatigued feeling. Every single month your doctor will review your blood work with you, I have not had any problems with mine. The last 5 months have been so worth the results!"


"I am a 57 year old woman. Had been on Ambien for years. Finally got to the point where I was waking up several times and eating all through the night. Have fought weight issues my entire life so could not deal with the ongoing weight gain, not to mention being perpetually exhausted. I then tried Temazepam which worked for a few weeks but then I started waking up during the night.   My doctor recently prescribed Trazodone 50 mg.  The first three nights were horrible. It took me forever to go to sleep and I woke up every few hours, tossing and turning.  The past three nights I have slept better than I have in years. 7 to 8 hours a night!!  No groginess in the morning. Feel rested and happy.  I'm in heaven!!"


"I was on this medicine for 5 years until I had to switch because I was producing too much estrogen. During the time I was on it, I had a decrease in bleeding and I lost 5 pounds. During the time I was on it was my only use of contraceptive and I have never been pregnant. All of my friends are on it and they love it!"


"I'm a 21 year old female and have suffered with depression and horrible thoughts for as long as I can remember. I was started on one medicine, (can't remember what it was), then Zoloft, which did not work, and was recently put on Cymbalta about three weeks ago. My depression had gotten so bad that I was willing to try everything. I was having emotional breakdowns at work, having horrible thoughts, bad dreams, and was withdrawn from everything. My depression is a brain imbalance, rather than caused by other things. Only being about two weeks on Cymbalta, I can already notice a difference. I'm more peppy, I don't think bad thoughts nearly as much, much more patience, haven't cried since I've been put on the medicine. I was a little jittery at first."


"My starting weight was 252. Started taking Belviq first month was maybe 7 lb loss then the lbs starting dropping. To date I weight 210 my goal is 180. I also cut out all white food, no fast food, soda or candy. I also do 3 days at the gym. Went from a 52 mens suit to a 44 regular men's . The first week I did have a headache and dizzy."


"I have only been on this medication for 3 days. I have had really bad nausea, however I can't believe the difference I feel so quickly. I am about to be a father and I'm really hoping that this medicine will work for me as I haven't had any luck taking other anti depressants. I got to the point where I didn't want to go to work and I would make excuses but actually it was because I was too scared, working as a teacher for young children this would surely brighten anyone's day. I am writing this review so early because last night I had some problems that would usually put me in a terrible state, however I was fine. I have had problems sleeping however as it has only been a very short while I hope these symptoms will disappear soon."


"I just got Paragard inserted today - was absolutely NOT terrible like everyone says. I will say I did a few things that may or may not have helped: I took Misoprostol vaginally (prescription from my doctor) to help soften my cervix 3-4 hours prior to my appointment, I had a 60-minute holistic massage 2 hours prior to my appointment (long story - didn't actually plan this due to my insertion or anything - just happened), and then I took 800mg of Ibuprofen an hour prior to my appointment. I definitely felt what was happening but it was NOT the pain level that everyone says - I'd say a 3 or 4 out of 10 and just for about 20-30 seconds. Definitely worth it for 10 years of not having to worry about getting pregnant or having hormones in my body!"


"HIGHLY SUGGEST IT!

My acne isn't the type you see on the proactive commercials... the type I have is deep, hard, and typically really difficult to "pop." Mine is all on my cheeks but concentrated around my right jawbone and neck, and it hurts extremely bad when touched. It looks like I've been stung by bees, and is extremely red. No topicals worked,ranging from proactive to prescriptions.

I took solodyn back in '11; I was 19 at the time. It started working within the first month, and by the time fall came around (August) I stopped wearing makeup (acne was GONE!). In 2012 I tried Doxycycline, but it made me SICK and gave me a debilitating headache.. Solodyn has NO side effects for me. I am happily back on it :)

(insurance gets it to $35)"


"I recently had a laparoscopic hysterectomy.  As some of you may know, anesthesia from surgery can cause the bowels to basically just stop moving.  Add to this the trauma of surgery in a nearby region, combined with taking narcotics, and I was MISERABLE.  It took 3 days for it  to work, but when it did it was a major miracle.  I did not realize constipation could be so bad you'd consider that you might DIE.  Miralax not only works, but it does not give you the horrible sick cramps you get with stimulant laxatives.  Just the best ever."


"Eyes still swollen and itchy"


"I was going through absolute hell. Dark days was effecting my Family life and work. The Man inside of me said keep going, but I couldn't.

I pulled into the Doctors office contemplating going up stairs to the office (anxiety). I felt weak asking for Male advise from my Male Doc?

I told the Doctor about my previous experiences on SSRI's and how they made my mood worse. He prescribed me 50mg of Zoloft and after 5-6 weeks, I was me again. It doesn't feel drug induced, it just kicks your bad thoughts completely. No ill side effects. But thats my story!"


"Works great for me. Can take 1/4 or 1/2 tablet most of time. Have only taken whole tab on rare occasions. Migraine is usually triggered by irregular or lack of sleep or tension, this medicine makes me sleepy. Most times I'm 100% functional within 20 minutes - no side effects."


"I was prescribed Zocor back in January 2011 and after about two weeks of taking the medication I experienced changes that was unusual.  My heart was racing so I stopped. After visiting my doctor to have my blood pressure checked, I informed her that I haven't been taking the medication.  She was not happy and requested I schedule another blood test to check my cholesterol which I did.  A few days after the test she put me back on Zocor which I have been taking  March 10th.  Since starting back on Zocor, I have experienced not sleeping through the night and continuous burping.  I am not very good about exercise and have a problem with my diet so I do need some type of medication. "


"I have ak on my legs & arms.  After 5-6 yrs using the usual topicals and not having any real results, picato gave me the results I was looking for."


"I have been on Sprintec for almost 6 months now. I am 20 years old and had been on the NuvaRing since I was 16 and loved it until I had an injury that required I took the ring out. The first 2 months of the pill I had absolutely no side effects whatsoever. I felt exactly the same as I did on the Nuvaring. At 3 months however my breasts have increased an entire cup size and are very sore all of the time. This is the only side effect I am experiencing. I take my pill at 9pm each night. I have not experienced any weight gain."


"I was doing great on Wellbutrin then my plan switched to a Generic. Within a week, I was back to serious depression. "


"At first I took Ibuprofen but that does nothing for Sciatica.  I went to the doctor because I could not walk and our physician said that Ibuprofen doesn't work for this, Naproxen does.  So about 500 mg and wow, it's fantastic.  Take it with buttermilk, yogurt, or a yogurt drink to keep your stomach in good shape."


"My dentist put me on clindamycin after I had my wisdom teeth taken out because of the infection in my gums (and I'm allergic to penicillin). I read reviews before taking this and was terrified. I've always had a weak stomach, suffering from both IBS and acid reflux. I always made sure to drink half a bottle of  water and eat part of my meal before taking this. After taking the pill, I'd drink a full bottle of water and finish my meal. Besides feeling bloated from so much water, I never had any side effects from this antibiotic. I was on 300 mg every 6 hours. No issues."


"I was on the patch for about 4 months, and while it did a great job at preventing pregnancy, the side effects were too much for me. Because this is placed outside your body, the estrogen in this is a lot higher than a typical pill. I have naturally tan/olive skin, and this caused melasma (severe skin darkening) all around my mouth and I use sunblock everyday. Also, my emotions were a mess when on the patch. I had two of the biggest anxiety attacks on this pill, after the second one I immediately took the patch off and felt better within hours. I'm happy to see that there are many women that this birth control method works for though, but I'll have to keep looking."


"I love love love mirena! I have had it for 2 years and have had only 1 period. I've lost weight, my acne has cleared up, no periods, and best of all no babies."


"Xulane patch worked well for me, cleared up my acne very quickly, but fell off very easily. Also seemed to increase my appetite, so it's important to exercise when you're on the patch. I started using the patch because I felt it would be easier then taking a pill everyday, but patch can be a slight nuisance. The best to put it would probably be on your butt. Overall I thought it was great if it could just stick on properly."


"Unfortunately I couldn't handle this medication for even a week. I was on 0.25mg once a day (at night). I was plagued by nausea that would last ALL day. I developed moderate muscle cramping and I had extreme daytime sleepiness that not even caffeine could help with (400 mg of caffeine not helping fatigue is more than unusual). I fell asleep in the bathtub while taking a bath, when I woke up my head was nearly fully submerged, the water line was literally at my mouth. Unfortunately I had to discontinue. The nausea was the worst part. Feeling like I want to puke all day long is terrible. It might work for other people but this med is definitely NOT for me."


"In terms of a birth control method, this product works well. Thats the only good thing I have to say about.

Take this with a grain of salt (every woman is different) but the side effects for me have sucked. I got the implant in 8 months ago and I get my period every single day since I got it inserted. Because of the constant tampons I have gotten UTI'S, and on top of that I experience depression swings, which is so unlike me. I'm over this method and getting it taken out next week, I CAN'T WAIT."


"I have been on Belviq now for 4 days and have lost 4 lbs I keep track of what I eat in my fitness pal app I am eating about 1200 calories per day and is fun to keep tract with the fitness Pal , my side effects are very tired in the morning and my muscles ache I noticed if I eat a good meal of 300-350 calories it keeps me full,for a longer time rather than eating a smaller meal"


"I have taken Savella now, 100 mg 2 times a day for 5 years now, with Fantastic results. I have tried so many including cymbolta, which worked well also, but I had many side effects.  I recently saw a neurologist and he had never seen anyone take 100 mg twice a day, but it was the only way it worked for me.  I was able to stop Taking Gabapentin, which I took 3 times a day.  My pain on Savella has gone from 10 to zero."


"My son  has used this for about a month. It's possible he was using too much of it but his face is extremely dry and scaly feeling and also burns. He used it in his chest as well and you can actually see that the skin is burned and raw. We will discontinue use until these symptoms clear and then may go back to just a few days a week"


"I am rating this a 7 because I was on it for 4 years from 2003-2007.  I was 19 and going through a bad break up with my son's dad.  Before Zoloft I hated social situations and never wanted to leave the house.  A week after 25mg a night I got off the couch, went to tech school, graduated with honors, got a great paying job. A while after being on Zoloft I started partying, had a bunch of energy. Then had mania. Got visuals, bad thought and high blood pressure. Was diagnosed with bipolar a year ago.  Only been taking Ativan, couldn't handle Seroquel.  My regular MD wants me to try Zoloft again.  "


"I have had Generalized Anxiety Disorder all my life, but could control it without medicines. I thought as I got older it would go away, but instead it had gotten worse to the point I finally got some help. Been on clonazepam for 2 years and feel so much better. It really works. I do worry about the horror stories of withdrawal, but wonder why people try to go off when it makes them better. I don't plan on stopping, I have finally found peace of mind with no side effects. My dose has remained the same."


"Gave me constipation and bloating - worse than the problem it was supposed to treat."


"Topamax literally saved my life! I have been getting headaches often since I was 14 or so. They progressed to full blown migraines after my 3rd child (I was 28 in 2004)and increased from there. By 2008/2009 they had gotten so bad I was literally having paralysis on the left side of my face, could not keep my eyes open at all, severe vomiting. Once I had one there was no driving or I'd run off the road. Thankfully after getting no relief from several medications & including visits to the ER, ENT, and neurologist to try and figure out something... I was prescribed Topamax. Use 50mg a day with 2 Aleve & 500mg Magnesium. Pretty much wiped out my migraines. Got pretty much all the side effects...who cares? I'm not suffering everyday anymore. :)"


"My husband takes this drug and at first it was a Godsend...now he has learned how to use it also to his advantage. He now takes it on rare occasions and it does not seem to make much difference if he drinks or not. This drug really only works if it is taken everyday at almost the same time...a day without and my husband can drink all he wants, with no side affects at all."


"My husband is an alcoholic and has been taking Antabuse for a week now. In the last 2 days the Antabuse hasn't stopped his excessive drinking. The pills haven't had any effect on him. I am really disappointed, I really wanted this to work. I know he was definitely taking the tablet everyday, because I watched him dissolve it in water then drink the whole glass. Now, I know there's no stopping his drinking, it's all up to me as a mother to leave him, because this behaviour is not acceptable around young children. So sad."


"I have chronic panic disorder with agoraphobia and due to the fact I have not responded to any antidepressant and have only had a moderate response with benzodiazepines (I was taking Xanax XR) I spoke to my doctor about trying Miltown (meprobamate), the first anxiolytic in history, just to see if it can help. I take 400 mg four times a day (1,600 mg) and I have, to my surprise, actually found it to be fairly effective. I was particularly surprised due to its low potency, 0.5 mg of Xanax is considered bioequivalent to 1,400 mg of Miltown. It takes longer than Xanax, Ativan, or Valium to work and I have noticed I can "feel" when Miltown starts to work where as I did not with benzodiazepines (bad). Good novel treatment."


"I originally got Gabapentin for Nerve Pain in my neck and down my arm due to Arthritis damaging my spine.
But I noticed that my Restless Leg problem I had for many years was also going away. That's when I read the drug was given specifically for restless leg syndrome. I mentioned this to my doctor and she said "yes it does". But what made me angry was when I specifically asked for something years earlier for the same thing, she wouldn't give me anything. Duh..."


"I got the Mirena placed a month ago while I was under general anesthesia for an endometrial polyp removal.  So, I can't review anything on the pain of insertion because I was peacefully sleeping:) I was told to expect bleeding after my procedure, and that I may have prolonged bleeding/spotting due to the Mirena. I had light period like bleeding for a week followed by two days of spotting. I have not had a single thing since the.  I was due for my period last week, and it didn't show up. (Took a test to make sure there's not a bun in the oven.) I was a little worried about how my body would react to the Mirena after reading so many horror stories about it. But for me it has been great!!  No period, no weight gain, and no acne."


"Started on 25 mg which didn't work. Taking 50 mg for 5 weeks no improvement. Need to find something else. Would not recommend."


"a bit of diarrhea but gets the job done.

fair price as well"


"It really works for my migraines-no longer in bed and I can work though still tired. "


"As I'm allergic to Codeine and have had 4 major surgeryies for Cancer in the last 12 months,I thank God for Tramadol .Fast ,effective relief during a time of great anxiety and discomfort. We all react differently to medications but if recommended by your MD give it a try"


"Got the bar in early August of 2014. Everything seemed to ok then my periods won't stop, I keep losing weight and I'm so cranky. I've tried to tell my Dr and they want to prescribe me more birth control on top of the bar to see if my periods stop. I'm so tired of this bar so I just want it out of my body. Do not recommend this, if the pill works for u, then stay with what u trust."


"After my sister died when I was 12 years old I had a hard time sleeping. Only only getting 3 hours of sleep at a time. My doctor prescribed Elavil and it worked immediately. I can finally concentrate on task that I could not do before. I am taking 200 mg of Elavil."


"I have been on Saxenda for approximately 2 months I have lost 18 lbs without changing my diet. I have had absolutely no side effects. I have just increased my dose to 1.8 and plan on staying at that dose for as long as I continue losing weight. My plan is to follow the weight loss program that was sent to me by Saxenda and to start exercising. Will post at the end of August with new weight loss."


"I have used Diamox (generic form) at least six times and swear by the medication. Prior to using, I would get headaches and nausea so bad it would ruin the weekend trip. This drug is truly a miracle for people who suffer with the effects of altitude problems.  Very few side effects that I experience. Tingling in your fingers and toes on occasion, little tired, but not extreme.  Carbonated drinks are strange tasting as well."


"I've use it a couple of times neither time was it any help at all it's just another plaseabo"


"I am only 16 and have taken this pill for 3 months and am FINALLY switching. While on the active (white pills) my periods lasted 13 days which is more than twice as long as they lasted before going onto the pill. I experienced severe spotting throughout every single pack as well as horrible cramping and mood swings. "


"Took it for 2 day cruise. Put it on in the morning and did not have any problems with motion sickness. I usually get sick in a car if I don't ride in the front and keep looking out. Boat rides are usually bad regardless where I am on the boat. Dry mouth was the only side effect I noticed. My husband started to feel sick at the end of the first day, had him put on a patch and he was fine. Also he insisted he had no motion sickness but as soon as the patch fell off he felt sick again, a new patch fixed that."


" I have common variable immunodeficiency which causes anorexia.  I found Marinol 5mg taken a couple hours before meals makes a huge difference. If I do not want to eat, ulcers etc, I found it easier with Marinol and have actually gained around 10lbs in the initial month or two..... I would recommend it for any patient with weight loss issues!"

"I gained 45 pounds last year due to a broken bone in my foot which led to an eventual removal. I was not able to walk for 10 months. I've been on this pill since August and I'm only down 5.2 I'm 5.4' and 181 I need help I am so upset. I get a caffeine type high and usually have some extra energy. My appetite is surpressed for sure. What else can I do? I have a joint disease and a muscular disease also. It's so hard to move around some days. I am feeling prisoner in my own life"


"Seems to lower CA but the side effects are somewhat hard to deal with. Leg cramps, and twitching seems to be the worst of it. But there is only surgery as the other option."


"Although I have been traveling and eating what I want I still managed to loose weight , I started at 263 and now I'm at 251 I've only been on this for 3 weeks now , I'm not really looking for a specific weight that I want to loose just want to be more healthy . But I haven't been walking like I used to because of the weather , but I will start back and maybe start seeing it shed faster , so far 12 pounds "


"Im 37 y/o female and was prescribed this after a suicide attempt. Took just a few days but I feel the best that I have in a very long time. I can't tell you the last time I had the energy, enthusiasm, or Clarity that I have now. I've been on so many different antidepressants & anti-anxiety medications that I've lost track of what all I have been on. Best medication in combination with 5 milligrams of Abilify!!! I feel like I am getting my life back. I truly feel like my life has been saved. I did have loose bowels off and on the first two weeks, but now on week 3 it is getting better. My guess is, like any other antidepressant, some people respond in a positive way, and others respond in a negative way. Nature of the beast of depression!"
