"I am 20 years old and have had acne since I started high school about five years ago. It progressively got worse the longer I had it. No one in my family had had acne when they were young so no one knew what to do other keep my face clean. I spent every morning desperately trying to cover it all up with make-up and many times failed. I wish I had come across this medication sooner because it has been a life saver. I now have the beautiful smooth skin I had as a young teenager and it's the best feeling in the world. I will never again take for granted clear skin."


"I used to be anorexic during my time in high school. I haven't been able to gain weight since then. I began dropping pounds and no matter what I ate, my weight would stayed at 105. I tried protein shakes, eating junk food all the time, nothing worked and my doctor prescribed this and it is amazing!"


"I'm so bummed,  just had my quit day on day 12 of chantix, but developed hives/rash on arms and back. They are like blisters with poison ivy.
It was working so well,  hardly thought of cigarettes, now I guess I'll have to stop taking."


"For those of you reading this site, you're probably worried sick and waiting for your period to come. Don't worry, I was like that too! And I can honestly tell you that this pill works: I took it after 36 hours of having unprotected sex. I was worried that I had taken it too late as many people said that they took it within 24 hours of having unprotected sex, but my period came on the 7th day of taking this pill. I had a little bit of cramps and my flow is heavier than usual, but I would absolutely recommend this pill to anyone. It really works, just give it some time and your period will come."


"I have used this after my surgery and I give it a 10/10 even though I was only about 14^ this worked very well. My mom would give me the medicine whenever the time it was needed to be given (scheduled). I am currently 16 and The surgery I have received was replacing dieing bone cartilage with live ones from another part of the bone. It was painful/especially during the recovery."


"This is more of an update. Been on this for a full 3 months now, about to go on my 4th. I've always had terrible periods  (cramps, heaviness, fatigue, moodiness) so I was hoping the pill could relieve some of those symptoms. So far, I've found all of the pills I've tried so far (loestrin fe, junel, yasmin) haven't done a whole lot to rid of these symptoms. Apri is the same. Although my period is more predictable and more manageable in terms of pain, my 2nd and 3rd day of period is still very heavy and I still cramp a whole lot on the 2nd day. Made my skin clearer, and no problems of weight gain either. I also am not as moody as I was on yasmin. And no pregnancies yet, although a couple of scares since this pill can mimic pregnancy symptoms."


"I was doing some research for medication that would help with Fibromyalgia pain and I came across Contrave which included a bonus med as it is  for appetite control.  I started with one pill yesterday.  It made me feel a little out of sorts at work - hard to stay focused and detail oriented.  After work I went biking - felt great!  For dinner, I couldn't finish my plate - very impressive!  I was very tired though - hard to stay awake.  Then about midnight I woke up and felt wide awake.  My restless leg syndrome had kicked in for some reason.  I fought through it, and managed to get back to sleep.  I woke up this morning before the alarm went off and my fibro pain was gone - completely!  So happy and excited to see how this continues."


"I was switched to this generic after being on many others including the same Rx formula and other formulas in the past. This was by far the worst pill I've ever taken as far as being ineffective for hormone control. My ovarian cysts returned, I had more painful periods, acne, bloating, mood swings, and the feeling of not wanting to be near or touched by anyone. Once I was back on my previous brand of generic for 2 months I stabilized completely again."


"Next to medical marijuana, hydroxizine is the only thing that has ever helped me get through all of the withdrawal from the slew of psych meds I've been trying for my bipolar disorder. I'm so grateful for it. And in my opinion and experience, it is definitely As effective as Xanax and klonopin!"


"Just recently diagnosed with ADHD and specifically asked to start out on vyvance at 30mg/day. I'm 23 years old and had been struggling with severe ADHD my whole life, finally decided to go get it checked and vyvance being my first medication taken for it- it's completely calmed me down as a person. I feel like I have such clear thoughts which made me feel incredible, I finally felt normal. Helped with my hot temper and impatience as well. First week has been successful."


"I have been on the max dose for many years, I also am on insulin. I am not very healthy, I tire easily and have a lot of stomach problems. The more I read about the side effects,the more I realize that metformin is not that good for a person."


"I have tried many different kinds of birth control pills during my search to find the right one. This one wasn't the right one for me. I constantly felt nauseous and developed urinary tract infections and yeast infections, strange discharges and odors. I didn't have those problems on the other pills. Also I would experience randomly on this pill the loss of my sex drive. For the people who know me, that's nothing like me. That side effect scared me and was the last straw that pushed me to switch."


"I've had the Implanon rod inserted the day after I gave birth to my son. This was August 21st of this year. When I first got it I was bleeding for about two weeks but thought nothing of it cause I just gave birth but it came back on about a week later and has been on every since. Also I've been feeling really depressed for the past month and my finance' says its like I'm a whole new person. I'm considering getting it removed."


"I've been suffering from constant reoccurring yeast infections for over four years. Infections come on fast and quickly and progress often times with extremely painful blisters. Tests always come back as yeast. Ive got severely sensitive skin and can not use creams and nothing scented can be near that area. I'm prescribed with three doses of diflucan to take over a nine day period. Works every time. Best yeast treatment available."


"I have had the Mirena implant since August 2007. I did experience mild discomfort when inserted (sort of like menstrual cramps). I spotted on and off for about a month, and then no period for about a year. Here lately I have had a very very light period about every 3 months. Not having a period is great but I always worry if it's the Mirena or pregnancy so I do a pregnancy test every few months because I take antibiotics for acne (which is caused by the implant). I also have experienced some mood swings and lack of sex drive (which I didn't know were side effects until recently). This implant does have pros and cons, so you just have to really decide if you can deal with the cons to get the pros. Still not sure if I'll get another in 5 years or not."


"I got this implant November 20 of 2016. At first my periods were irregular and had spotting in between, had lower back pain and mood swings/depression. My periods went away which is amazing but the depression has gotten worse and I now have cystic acne all along my chin, cheeks forehead, and all over my hairline. I've dealt with acne all my life and I finally had it under control so this implant causing my skin to break out in painful cysts is a deal breaker. I am sad to get it removed because it is a convenience that I don't have to take a pill everyday, did not gain weight off of it and it took my periods away. But my skin is more important to me."


"I'm 24, previously taking oral contraceptives for 9 years. I'm giving this 5 because it is effective in the most basic sense. I no longer worry about getting pregnant or taking pills and my periods are regular and very light. However I am one year in and planning to get it removed because of the side effects. First, the insertion was incredibly painful for me followed by excruciating cramps. The first 6 months was radical mood swings, acne, weight gain and cramping that gradually stabilized. I'm a year in now though and I'm finding it hard to work off the weight, I'm still very emotional, my skin is bad (possibly unrelated but my eczema has come back), low sex drive. I gave it a chance but I'd rather take pills/use condoms and be happy."


"I began sweating as soon as I started college- probably from the mass amount of stress I'm always under. Any who, this product is amazing. I literally would be sitting in a normal temperature room and sweat would just be streaming from my arm pits down the sides of my body. I started using this and from day 1, absolutely no sweat. Not even at the gym. It does sting a little bit, but as far as I'm concerned, a little bit of stinging far outweighs the low self confidence, paranoia, and constant clamminess of my body. I 100% recommend this product to anyone."


"I was prescribed Flexeril by my primary doctor for muscle spasms in my lower back.
I could only take it for a short time, I felt no relief in the spasms in my back, I had to sleep at least 10 hours with it, or I couldn't get out of the bed in the morning. I am heading to physical therapy, I'm sure they will help much better than a stupid muscle relaxer can."


"I am a 20 year old female who has suffered from depression for 5 years. I have tried many different medications and have had little to no luck with anything, until my doctor prescribed me Citalopram. I feel great. I feel tired alot more often, but that's the only side effect I have noticed. I'd recommend this medication to anyone who feels their current depression medication isn't working. Hope I've helped."


"I have been taking Voltaren for severe back pain and it is just wonderful, no back pain at all."


"I've had my Paraguard for over seven years and it's worked exactly as promised. My periods did return to the intensity they were before using hormonal birth control, but they were not worsened. Occasionally my husband will have it jab him during intercourse, which is the only reason it's not 10 stars."


"I started the Suboxone program about 1 year ago but, I'm now currently taking Subutex. The reason I've been put on Subutex is due to a work related injury and with Suboxone one cannot take any opiates due to the blocker and I need the Subutex because I'll be having surgery soon. Long story short....I WOULD RECOMMEND A SUBOXONE TREATMENT PROGRAM TO ANYONE-YOU DON'T HAVE THOSE "CRAVINGS" YOU ONCE HAD! IF YOU ARE WILLING TO STOP "USING" THIS IS THE BEST PROGRAM AVAILABLE. IN MY OPINION GIVE THE PROGRAM A TRY AND FINALLY YOU WILL FEEL NORMAL AGAIN- IT'S AMAZING HOW WONDERFUL YOU FEEL KNOWING YOU ARE CLEAN AND MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU ARE FINALLY BACK TO YOUR OLD SELF AGAIN."


"Started this almost 3 weeks ago, no side affects except dry/flaky skin on hands , now week 3 nauseous 24/7 and headache 24/7,  nothing is taking the headache away not imatrex (RX headache reliever) not excedrin NOTHING. I can't even eat , I feel like it's going to just come right back up. It's like it built up in my system for weeks and now my body is rejecting it. It made me feel better emotionally but physically I can't take it, I  just want to stay in bed cause I feel like crap... I know it's the med cause it started on the exact day I started the 3 rd sample bottle. I'm stopping it. I haven't had a headache like this in years or been nauseous."


"I've had the mirena for 6 weeks for heavy prolonged periods. Insertion wasn't painful, just uncomfortable. I had cramping for a couple of days after. I have had constant bleeding everyday since insertion although not anywhere near on the scale I was having pre mirena. However since insertion I have noticed I have very low mood, really bad anxiety, greasy skin, joint pain, very tearful, hair loss and hair growth on face is worse (I do have PCOS) I generally do not feel like myself. Would not recommend this to anyone, yet I have friends who love it."


"Yaz saved my skin. I had severe acne, whiteheads, blackheads, cysts, the works, on my face. I was prescribed Yaz after none of the topical medications worked, for example, Tazorac, in both the gel and cream form. It does take a while to see the full effect. I noticed after 2 months the shine that I always had on my face went away, and slowly, over a course of about 9 months my skin was completely clear. It was a miracle, to say the least. My dermatologist kept me on the Tazorac just as a caution, but I know it was the Yaz that truly cleared my skin up. I highly recommend Yaz as long as you are in good health to use it (don't smoke or anything) and want to see a real change in your skin."


"I have been on contrave for a week now and have lost 10 pounds along with a strict diet. I have not been exercising much but want to start. It made me nauseous only once and other than that I have had great results. Controls my appetite and doesn't let me overeat. I am very happy with this!"


"I've been Struggling with weight loss and my Doctor recommended Belviq and I'm down 16.5 pounds without gym wow! Give or take in a 6 weeks cause I had to wait to get my refill after the trial. I don't crave carbs as much. I Love it it's the best and I will keep going. Thanks Belviq"


"I have severe COPD and started taking Daliresp approximately 2 years ago.  My pulmonologist suggested Daliresp as I was experiencing frequent exacerbations requiring 2 to 3 hospitalizations a year.  I am taking 2 different inhalers a day and on 4% oxygen 24/7. For the past 2 years I have been hospital free! Yah!  I wish the Daliresp wasn't so expensive or a generic were available, but then again no hospitalizations  (which is the last place a sick person should be)."


"I used it once a day for 13 days and took two days off, I'm wondering if it's ok to start again or not. I was supposed to go 4 weeks.
Anyone have any comments?"


"I've had been on Nexplanon since 2013 (if you don't count the three years beforehand when I was on 'Implanon') I've given it a 9-10 because it achieved its #1 goal, I have not gotten pregnant, or had any complications with removal or insertion, however I am going to talk to my doctor about other options. I've gained 45 lbs since I've started, I've gotten worse acne than when I was a teenager, and the depression and anxiety has practically crippled me (and has definitely not helped the first two issues). Something has got to change, I can't stand this anymore."


"Suffer horribly with seasonal allergies. This stuff is a Godsend. Much better than Flonase. And doesn't have that horrible Flonase smell of freshly cut grass..which kills my sinuses!

Completely NOT a waste of money as previous review stated"


"I started Bleviqs last night. I was told to take one 20mg pill before bed. Reason is because my dr said one of the side effects is being tired. Well I barely slept 6 hrs. Had opposite effects. However, I felt slightly dizzy, achey (even my hands hurt) and cold like symptoms. I don't know if the sneezing and coughing are a coincidence or a side effect. I have read it is, but I only had the one pill. We went to dinner tonight. After I ate, I got sick to my stomach and needed to lay down.
I'm having the hardest time losing weight. I have been on a lot of different supplements. I'm not sure this is worth it."


"I started Jan 3 2014, the first week I lost 10 pounds! It's now 8.27.14 and I've lost 55 pounds total. I have been slacking and not working out but I love it. Dry mouth I still have it but makes you just want to drink water I have recommend tons of people! But I also take it at 5:00am or 4:40am and workout for half hour and then again at night for an hour or half hour gives me a lot of energy makes you sweat an not as hungry either. I would recommend it trust me they work."


"I been on nexplanon for the past 5 months and I haven't gotten a period since then.  My sex drive decreased a bit. Every month I get a slightly feeling of cramping but no menstrual. I love the fact of how I don't have to worry about taking a pill every day but now I am just wondering when will I get my menstrual. Other than that everything is great."


"Took it for Chondomalacia, arthritis, inflammation in my knees. After day 1, I felt 80% better. Able to sit, stand, bend my knees without tearing up. Day 2 almost better. Little lethargy, some indigestion. Other than that, totally worth it
Should note that I took it for my back before also- didn't work as well, but on knees it works really well."


"I took one and then several hours later to another. When I woke up I felt really sick in my stomach cramps were excruciating. I ran to the bathroom and got incredibly dizzy and felt horribly sick to the point where I was vomiting. I broke out into a horrible sweat and was laying on the floor literally felt like I was having an allergic reaction to the pill or something other. It was a horrible experience and two days later my stomach still hurts. Great for some people but I was too sensitive for this. I will never take it again.   It says gentle relief, it felt more like a beginning stages of labor and I've had four kids so I can say this"


"I started using Acanya because I saw online that it worked well with Atralin (which is basically vitamin A for your face and helps skin regenerate itself). I have had break outs since I was 10 yrs old and am now 25 and still have acne. I used Accutane and it got rid of my acne for about a year and its just now getting bad again. I went into my dermatologist and they prescribed the Acanya, Atralin, and Spirolactone (oral meds). Its been a month since my awful breakout and my skin is significantly better. The Acanya was awful the first few days, I have very sensitive skin and it burnt it badly around my mouth. After about a week it evened out though and my skin stopped peeling and I'm having the best results with this combination."


"I am NEVER getting this shot again!!! I had gotten this shot a month and a half after having my daughter. Which was in late November. I didn't get a "period" until early January and haven't stopped bleeding since. I thought the bleeding was becoming light for a while then it became heavy as of now. Also this shot causes extreme HAIR LOSS. I thought I was losing my hair due to postpartum hair loss but it turns out it's because of this shot. I've lossed so much hair, that it looks totally thinned out.. I don't know when the hair loss and bleeding will stop but I'm hoping soon"


"Started taking Saxenda on April 18th and have had only a few side effects. I have some nausea and a headache in the evenings. I'm hoping this subsides the longer I've been on it. I have lost 6 lbs which is an amazing accomplishment for me. I have not been able to loose more than 2 lbs no matter what diet I've tried. I get full very fast, only eating about 1/2 what I used to eat at each meal. Sleeping great but am experiencing a great deal of fatigue especially late afternoon and evening. Will continue on and hope this weight loss continues. The doctor gave me a month of samples so I didn't waste money if it didn't agree with me."


"Used it for three months. I started with 10mg/day and then it was taken down to 5mg because of vomiting and back up to 10mg. Nausea every day, vomiting nearly every day, until I got Primperan for it. It felt at first, that it is working on depression, took off the sadness and my energy came back. But after few weeks I become anxious and irritated and then came insomnia. Finally I could not fall asleep without sleepingpills and with them I slept 2-3 hours and woke up and could not fall asleep again. My doctor suggested to lifting the dose to 20mg/day. I said NO. I could not take the nausea, vomiting and sleeplessness any longer especially, when it did not even work on the depression anymore, not to mention the anxiety and lost of sexdrive."


"I've been dealing with panic disorder/anxiety since I was 11-12 years old and have basically tried everything out there. While I was medication free for almost two years, I recently started having severe panic attacks again and subsequently was suffering from agoraphobia. My doctor put me on Klonopin (which I had used successfully in the past) but a friend with similar issues recommended Pristiq. I am currently taking 1mg of Klonopin 4 times a day (max dose for panic disorders), 10mg of Ambien at night to sleep and recently increased the Pristiq to 100mg.

While I still have a way to go, I feel worlds better and certainly much better than on any other medication that I have ever taken."


"Had 2 herniated disks L4-L5 and L5-S1 one of them at 7mm and one at 9.5 mm herniation. Without an operation I'd be wearing a bag to pee in for the rest of my life at a young age. Dr. Cut the disk shaved the bone on my spine. Been on meds 10/325 Norco for like 4yrs relieves morning wake up pain and all day on my feet night pain. They do help . Before the operation nothing helped."


"My youngest daughter came down with lice 3 yrs ago from my sitter's daughter.  Needless to say by the time I found out, my other daughter and myself had it too. Pediatrician advised to try OT counter drugs 3 times first. After spending over $500, got prescription for Sklice (not covered on insurance then).  It cleared up the first try. Best product & worth $300 paid.  I though was leary and left some items (stuff animals to pillows) in bags for over a year.  Now 3 years later, and once again youngest daughter as caught as she will not wear her hair up due to sensory issues. Had doctor to prescribe without trying anything else. With coupon this time paid $10 instead of $59 a tube (my co-pay)! Now praying for good results again."


"I've only been on Elmiron for 7 weeks. But I did notice a decrease in symptoms (pain is my only real symptom) by week 3. Now I am in week 7 and I am almost pain free most of the time. I don't stray too far from the diet yet but I do notice I can get away with more foods. I'd give it a 10/10 but I'm not sure how it will work in the future. Doctors say that the sooner you start taking it after symptoms present and the more mild your disease the faster it works and the more beneficial it is. My Interstitial Cystitis was considered mild and I was diagnosed within 1 month of symptom onset. I hope it continues to work. I take 400 mg a day."


"I think Mirena is a bit of a hit or miss based on comments and personal experience. I had the Cooper IUD for 10 years - no problems and no periods. Then switched to Mirena at doctor's suggestion. No problems with insertion followed by no periods or side effects. When 5 years were up on 2-6-15, I had a new one replaced the same day as old one removed. I still have no periods, but the insertion of this one was excruciating. I broke out in a cold sweat when I tried to get up and had to lie back down another 15 minutes, even after lying there about 15 minutes initially.Now, daily headaches and extreme moodiness. First time, I'd rate 10. This time, not happy. I'm having it removed 4-10-15-will report later if this helps side effects."


"My daughter age 17 got the Nexplanon inserted October 2015. Bleeding was minimal for the first couple weeks, then heavy for the next three.. It's now a 2-3 day time period where she doesn't bleed and its a medium to light flow. No major side effects except non stop bleeding through the first 4 weeks. Now come the 2nd week of January....  All hell has broken loose.  Severe acne started and headaches that caused her to miss school. She has joint pains in her back/hip and she cries all the time. Eyes look sunken in and red/swollen 24/7.  My daughter never has had acne before. and was normal weight and a popular outgoing girl, but I can honestly say she is not the same at all. So Doctor recommended it be taken out. We go this week"


"This is my fifth try at finding something that helps me move relatively pain free through out the day.  I have so far experienced no side effects."


"Was diagnosed 5 weeks ago when a general health check saw my b.p was 210/76. I was put on amlopidine 10mg for the first 2 weeks with little improvement and now I am also taking ramidil 2.5mg, been taking for 4 days and b.p has dropped to 153/70.

side effects are a dull headache and feeling exhausted but have been assured this is only temporary"


"This drug is a wonder drug. After 15 years of brutal bipolar symptoms (undiagnosed/ untreated) which destroyed my whole life, I now take 300mg at night and now I can have a normal life free of anxiety, mood swings, bipolar symptoms etc, I hold down a responsible full-time job, healthy relationships and friendships, I have hobbies. I never had any of that before; my bipolar destroyed my whole life. Seroquel gave it back.
I hear of people wanting to go off Seroquel.. I'm the opposite.  I would go to any lengths to make sure I never have to go off it. I'll gladly spend the rest of my life on it, because it gives me a normal life, and I won't risk that for anything. I've been on it 3 years, no side effects."


"I've had multiple kidneys stones over the years and this was the first time I've used Flomax.  It seems to relieve the pain at least 40%."


"I got it inserted in October 2014, no periods since. The only downfall is now would be the time of my second period and I have horrible acne! Other than the acne no other side effects, I can deal with the acne if it's only once a month."


"I was taking Oxycontin after 2 shoulder surgeries, then I was in a bad auto accident. Even upping me to 80mg 2 x daily wasn't enough. My doctor suggested the Oxyfast for breakthrough pain, so I tried it. This was the only combination that took away all my pain, so I could work and care for my family. At 29 yrs old I thought my life was over, but these medications gave me my life back!"


"Relieved migraine and reduced temperature in ,15 minutes first time - has never taken longer than 30 mins to act. Quite impressed with this, worked when codeine and others failed."


"I loved everything about the implanon - BUT I had to have it removed because it gave me horrific cystic acne deep under my skin around my chin. I was so caught up worrying that my depression and anxiety would arise as a side effect that I didn't realise it was actually the bar causing the sudden change in my skin. It's such a shame because otherwise I loved it. Have had it gone for a few months now, my skin started to settle but now is flaring up again. If you do find you start to experience cystic acne on the implanon - DO NOT TOUCH IT and get your doc to prescribe a topical acne ointment to save yourself from it spreading and causing scarring :("


"Valtrex is fantastic if used correctly for cold sores.  For adults the dose is 2 grams at first symptom of a cold sore, followed by 2 grams 12 hours later.  That's it.  Now the key is getting that first dose right when you feel the first symptom (tingling, burning, swelling etc.)  This medicine has worked great for me and usually prevents the sore from breaking the skin, thus no one even knowing I was getting a cold sore.  Anyone who gets cold sores knows how awful they are and how long they take to heal.  I have not had as much success with acyclovir.

Be sure you always have some Valtrex on hand.  If you wait until you get a cold sore before calling the doctor, it's probably too late, but take it anyway to reduce healing time."


"I was on Aptiom 800 mg once a day for Partial motor seizures. Price was astronomical !My co-pay was over $600 a month. Luckily I was given 3 months worth of samples for free. I changed Doctors and was told that oxcarbazepine was basically the same as this drug (eslicarbazepine)and my copay was $2.85. I was a little ticked when I was told this.Yes it is the newest drug on the market, but is it really new? Be sure to ask questions of your Doctor. It may save you lots of money.Oh....the initial days I was sick, but after I took it a while I felt better. No Seizures in the 3 months I was on it."


"I had frequent intestinal distress (and I mean distress).  Janumet is a combination of Januvia and Metformin.  I switched to two pills, Januvia and Metformin ER.  ER stands for extended release.  It may cost more this way, but it eliminated the problem.  Those of you with a similar problem should talk to their doctor.  Most don't know that Janumet itself  used the immediate release Metformin....which causes intestinal distress in many users."


"Eating more , not a lot of energy . It seems to take a while to work"


"Personally I LOVE nuvaring. I hated the pill could never remember to take it. With the ring leave it in 3 wks or 3wks n 2 days take it out for 4 days allow myself to spot to make sure I'm still good and put it back in. Dr told me I didn't even need to do that.  I can leave it in for 4wks bc I didn't need my cycle regulated I just didn't want the menstrual cycle or pains lol. I can pick and choose if or when I want a cycle - I love that freedom. Hardly felt it at all. It has only come out during sex twice. Great concept.
CONS 1st time putting it in disaster lol. Even now after 5yr being on it I have slight trouble here and there putting it in bc I'm dry. Sex drive decreased. Angry ALL THE TIME it seems like. Depression spells. Issues with my contacts"


"This has been a life changer. I get 2-3 bad migraines a month that last usually over a day or two, and it would make me completely non functional. The great thing is that this medicine works fast, and completely takes away the splitting pain. The side effects the first two times were sleepiness and a pretty sore throat and face, but since then they've been extremely mild and almost unnoticable. Please try it, it's worth it"


"Vidaza worked very well and only side effect was some minor constipation cured with softener and milk of magnesia."


"I was referred to a specialist after 20 years of migraines. She spoke with me about botox for migraines which at that point in my life I was desperate for any cure. The day I had it done I had a severe migraine. The neurologist told me it would be more painful and it would probably make my side effects worse BUT that it would only last a couple weeks at max. It lasted 3weeks of stiff neck and soreness. But after a month it was worth the soreness and stiff neck because the botox kicked in and for some reason helped me stay migraine free for a whole YEAR!? I'd recommend this to anyone desperate for some relief."


"I started using this alesse when I got pretty moderate/severe acne (no cysts though). This product worked okay for me, its very low dose so it didn't make a huge difference for me. It did improve my acne (I only had light/moderate acne) but I coupled it with minocycline and topical clindamycin with benzoyl peroxide and the retin-A gel (0.05%). I'm not entirely sure which made my face better. Alesse helped keep my weight down and I had no side effects. I switched to yaz because I heard it was better for acne (which it was) but then I got crazy mood swings and emotions so I switched back. Now it isn't as effective on me. I'm now looking to switch to ortho tri-cyclen! I would recommend this product!"


"I'm 20 years old, never had kids and have been on Sprintec for 9 years now. When I started my period in puberty, it was a nightmare. I bleed heavily for 40 days straight and my hormones were raging. I went to the doctors and they prescribed me the pill. My periods are regular now and even cleared up some acne. The day before and the first 2 days of my period I get some heavy cramping and get emotional, but otherwise I am fine. I rarely use condoms and have never had a pregnancy scare. I highly recommend this pill"


"I've been using Vagistat-3 & I'm on the second day. The first day I used it the discharge was coming down a lot and the second day it wasn't really any. It's not that itchy anymore, but it's really sore from me itching before I knew what it was. I hope the itching can go away because this is the worst feeling ever."


"36 year old female diagnosed with ADHD. Started on Concerta 30mg daily (2 weeks), no therapeutic effect but had extreme dry mouth, a crash/grogginess in the evenings. Switched to Adderall XR 20mg daily, no therapeutic effect; experienced dry mouth and slight loss of appetite during day, made up for it in evening. Just started 40mg daily and I feel the therapeutic effect. Profound concentration at work, desire to tweak processes, love getting things done, a non-stop interest in being productive with everything. I have this sense of crystal clear clarity of my surroundings, like HDTV sight. Around 5pm, I still feel a crash and extreme tiredness. I will see if I can take a short acting pill to get me through the evening. VERY PLEASED NOW."


"I went through 3 treatments with the Pegasys medicines, once with a 3rd drug added - with  no success.  I was diagnosed in 1997. I had no physical effects for most of the that time. The Pegasys (i believe the riboviran was the hard part) really kicked my rear end,  my skin was pale and pasty looking.  I began Havovi March 20. I am now approaching the one month mark. The only side effect, which is minor, is I have been tired a lot. I had been getting that way about 4 months before I started Harvovi. Since then I have been feeling a bit less energetic. But at the same time, my appetite has improved dramatically. I didn't have much of an appetite before the treatment, now my appetite is back to normal."


"I have been on the Nuva Ring for 2 months and I love it! the first month I was a little moody.. Bit for now my skin is clearer than ever,my sex drive isn't disturbed.I love my nuva ring! Its very set it and forget it."


"Caused dry mouth, headaches, weight gain and pain in lower back.  Now seeing a physio as my back hurts so much.   I'm on 10mg a day.   Within one month running to the toilet was normalised and I slept all night without needing to get up numerous times.   Someone else mentioned affect on eye sight.  I have experienced this too but hadn't thought to link it to the drugs."


"Lyrica has helped with my anxiety but I have Leg and back pain. Maybe related to Lyrica."


"Amazing product- for me, from the age of about 13, it had gotten to the point where I would sweat so much all the time that I wore baggy sweatshirts constantly. Even sometimes in the summer, to hide all the sweating. After using Hypercare I rarely sweat unless I'm exercising or it's legitimately hot- which is GREAT."


"It has been a month today since I got it and I love it. My periods usually last 5 days and I was on my third day when I got the implant in and I haven't started my period yet"


"I started the meds on Oct.10 and I had severe nausea and fatigued for the first 2 weeks. I'm only on week 3 but I have gained 2lbs. I exercise regardless, but I have read some reviews from ppl who say..wait until week 4 to see results.. I'm praying because I have thyroid which cause you to be fatigued more than the average person already so this med added to that.. I'm going to continue to take all of it.. I will respond again once I finish this first round

Hopeful"


"I'm a 36 year-old female, 5'8" 224 lbs. Only on week 2 of contrave. No weight loss yet but I'm hopeful...a little nausea and dizziness last week. Seems to be subsiding a bit this week."


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


"I have been taking Leukeran since 11-19-2002 with no side effects, to treat CLL. Currently I am taking 2mg three times per week. My white count is staying under 19K.  I have no symptoms of the CLL. The alternative is chemotherapy, and I said no way.  Leukeran is keeping my Leukemia in check."


"So I'm reading all these wonderful and not so great reviews about Skyla, what I got mostly is that you'll have mild pain if your not so lucky and major discomfort. I had mine inserted on March 7th and lord let me tell you, I have high pain tolerance (EXTREMELY HIGH). I took two extra strength Tylenol (800) and it didn't do a dang thing. Yes god I felt that plastic being inserted and when she measured my cervix? Yeeeeeeeeeesh the pain, but after that it was just discomfort. As of now I feel light cramping and no bleeding plus vaginal discomfort like I have a UTI. All in all, I'm not giving up on Skyla nor saying it's bad it's just the insertion that got me."


"I started Lexapro less than 3 weeks ago and I absolutely love it. I was extremely nauseous and threw up several time just hours after taking it my first week, so I started taking it an hour before bed (also makes me very drowsy so it helps me fall asleep). I am no longer feeling sick whatsoever. I have lost more than 10 pounds and have gained TONS of self-confidence. I highly recommend trying Lexapro."


"I started this with minimal side effects but on the 3rd day I couldn't deal with how it made me feel. My head was hurting and I felt outside of myself. I stop the medicine after the 3rd pull. It did curb my cravings but I didn't like feeling outside of myself. I'm a little disappointed because I was hopeful."


"Please do not let my experience deter you! I was diagnosed with major depression disorder. (Never diagnosed or had any doctors mention anything about possible schizophrenia or bipolar disorder in my life.) Not too sure why the hospital doctor prescribed this in the first place, but I was so depressed and just wanted to feel better I was willing to try anything.

I took 20mg everyday at dinner. (6-6:30pm). I was in bed by 8 or 9pm. Latuda kicked my butt. I was beyond tired. Other then the EXTREME fatigue, I had no noticeable side effects. I really hope this drug works for you. I am frustrated because the doctor prescribed a pill that is used for conditions I do not have. (Also taking 150mg of Desipramine and Modofinil 200mg in the AM)"


"The immediate relief was like a miracle.  No pain within 12 hours of starting treatment.  Amazing"


"I took Plan B about 36 hours after unprotected sex. I literally was SO scared I would get pregnant and googled everything on Plan B way too much. I'm on birth control but hadn't been taking it at the same time recently. I had symptoms throughout that I was paranoid were pregnancy symptoms like random cramping, lower back pain, and sore breasts. My nipples were always hard! But exactly 3 weeks later, today, I got my period!! It is a few days later than when I usually have it, Don't worry, it works! Trust it."


"Very tired, a problem with my kidneys but my blood work is excellent. Thank God for this miracle."


"I've had acne since I was 14. It was really bad in high school. It slowed down in my early 20's as I used Proactiv daily. In my mid 20's I started developing nodular acne which felt like pencil erasers under my skin on my face, back and chest. After nothing worked I started taking Accutane back in 2004 and took it for 6 months. I experienced redness in the face and flushing the first month. My lips were severely chapped but using Aquaphor helped with that. Everything was going great until my last month of taking the one a day pill. Some nights I would wake up in the middle of the night sit up on the bed and have no idea where I was at. I would come to my senses after a few seconds but it was definitely a scary feeling every time it happened."


"After my mum's death my doctor put me on this and it was a life saver. I took largest dose 120 mg. It helped me deal with her death and not stay in bed. I also found my arthritis from previous yrs never bothered me anymore. Body aches gone. I did wean myself off medicine after almost 3 yrs. But all body aches and pains came back. I am looking in to Going back on it for body aches."


"I had Mirena removed 10 days ago after only 7 months. Reasons: 1. Terrible skin, worst of my life (I'm 35): A little over 2 months into it I started getting acne and incredibly greasy skin. I've always had great, clear skin even through my teenage years but on the Mirena would get one pimple after another. They'd take forever to heal and leave long-lasting discolorations. Previously, I'd get perhaps two pimples/year which would heal quickly without much of a trace. My face also looked puffier.
2. Facial hair (visible mustache and peach fuzz along the chin) and incredibly bristly, fast growing armpit/pubic/leg hair. I'm back on Nuvaring and thank God my skin and hair is already back to normal."


"I have chronic tension headaches. I used to take the fioricet with Tylenol, and honestly I wish I was on it again. I wanted to see how my body reacted to aspirin- IT HATES IT! My migraine worsens, hot and cold flashes, and I get intense nausea that makes me run for a trash can almost less than 5 minutes after ingested. It does help sometimes, but The side effects weigh out the benefits. The Tylenol caffeine butalbital works wonders for tension migraines. I've tried most medicines and fioricet is the only kind that helps. Too much causes rebound headaches so don't over do it! And overdoses ARE POSSIBLE in large AMOUNTS. Butalbital is a barbituate and is LETHAL. Read the warning labels!!!"


"I was on nexplanon for 3 years and I had a bled for 3 weeks out of the month the ENTIRE TIME! I seriously thought something was wrong with me until I seen the reviews and how it effected others. It did keep me from getting pregnant but other than that I hated it and will never use it again!

"I had one injection in June 2012 after seeing a GP about wanting to try for a baby soon and he suggested I need to take Rubella immunisation and contraceptive. He recommended Depo as he suggested it has minimum impact on my body before getting pregnant because it's a progesterone only. After the visit I found out on the net that the Depo shot can stop my ovulation for up to 2 years! I was a mess for a couple of month, but after 6 months I felt my cycle were coming back, and after 10 month before I even got a regular period back I fell pregnant. Now we have a very healthy and happy 1.5 year old :) It is effective as a contraceptive and I'm now feel happy for what happened because I had a chronic anemia before but it got better while pregnant"


"I have been on Bydureon for 7 weeks after fighting my doctor about using an inject-able for about a year.  I have previously been on Metformin and Xigduo (still taking these) after adding the Xigduo my numbers actually went up.  However after adding the Bydureon I have seen an amazing turn around.  My fasting glucose has been between 190-210, now it runs between 113-149, depending on what I have eaten the day before.  Even better is that I am down about 14 pounds.  I told my doctor that I wish I would have agreed sooner, but the medication wasn't available before then.  I did have diarrhea in the first couple of weeks but that has gone away. No nausea but I am not nearly as hungry, and most importantly I don't have cravings like before."


"I'm 20 and I've delt with my insomnia my whole life but it started getting really bad when I was in 5th grade. I've gone to every doctor you can think of and the ONLY thing that has ever helped me is quetiapine. I sleep 6 or more hours a night and usually fall asleep within an hour of taking it."


"Developed a severe stomachache six days after starting so stopped taking pending call to my doctor. Feels like a severe cramp."


"I have been taking risperdal for 7 years now. The worst thing about it is the lack of motivation and the carelessness. I don't feel like waking up because I have no interest in life any more. I wake up when I feel like I have slept too much. I can't work on my projects (I am a web developer) I have no interest in working because I don't feel motivated and I feel tired after I work instead of satisfied. My sex drive has gone down dramatically. The best thing about this drug is that it doesn't make me feel down or sad all the time, in fact, I don't feel anything any more like a zombie, a living dead if you well. Don't take it unless you have to"


"Had fibromyalgia due to chronic sleep deprivation which caused severe swelling in my hands giving me carpel tunnel pain every night also had swollen knees and severe stiffness. After months of trying alternative therapies with no improvement I finally gave in and started taking 20mg amitriptyline. Within 3 days this medicine changed my life and I felt like a different person.  Went up to 50mg but now back to 25mg and only about 75% of the time. If your health problems are caused by lack of phase four sleep, give this medicine a try."


"I have always had horrible acne.  Even after a round of accutane it came back a few years later.  After I had my son It got worse so I looked into yaz.  My gyno was on it as well so she did make me feel more comfortable with taking it as I was very cautious due to the reviews online.  I have cystic acne,  I don't remember a time where I had less than 3 pimples on my face.  I've been on Loryna for 6 months and my skin is clear!! Only break out (literally 1 pimple) when my period is coming or if I forget to wash my face.  But 1 pimple is sooooo much better than the endless amounts I would get before yaz."


"I take Xanax very rarely with Lexapro as my primary anxiety med. Xanax works perfectly to knock out secondary panic and anxiety symptoms, the best as needed anxiety med on the market. I don't recommend it as your primary anxiety med though, too addictive."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"I don't know what the bad reviewers are talking about.  Yes, the product tastes fine but who really cares--this isn't about taste.  BM induced within about 45 minutes, and then regularly thereafter.  Got up three times at night.  No gas, bloating, or other side-effects whatsoever.  I'm now a few hours from the procedure and BM is slightly cloudy yellow, which I understand is the goal.  In short, maybe only people having problems bother to post reviews."


"I have been taking trulicity for about 5 months the first month or two was really rough. I definitely had fatigue nausea and severe sour stomach which are very embarrassing to have while you're at work. I have dropped about 35 pounds over the past few months but that's because you never want to eat after you take the shot. I stayed on the .75 for the first 3 months and for the last couple months I'm up to the 1.5 which increase the symptoms I have. My a1c was a 12.5 now its a 5.  Some days my sugar stays in the sixties and seventies and I struggled to keep it up good luck but is all this misery with good numbers"


"I love this drug. It has worked so well for me. I have recommended it to all of my friends."


"I am going on my 5th pregnancy with boy number 5. Around 9 weeks  my legs were flopping around like a half-dead fish out of water that is what my legs looked like about every 30-40 seconds all day and night unless I was walking constantly. I begged my doctor to give me something, anything. She refused. I tried every natural remedy I could think of. She finally gave me sinomet at 25/100 mg dose half a pill and it worked wonders but I noticed after a few weeks of taking it wore off faster and then my legs became worse so my doctor has  to keep increasing my dosage. I am 30 weeks now and at 2 pills a day. I take in half and quarter increments throughout the day to avoid the onset of the RLS. if taken properly it works great."


"Really amazing spray! It is life changing medication."


"I am a 67 year old female who was diagnosed with A-Fib and put on Rythmol in 1996. (Yes, I've been on it for 16 years). The doctor was about to do an ablation but decided to try Rythmol first.  It put me back in rhythm and I did not have to have the ablation.  I have since learned my triggers and try to avoid them. I've had 2 episodes worth mentioning in all this time. Once I became very overheated and once I had a shot of cortisone in both knees.  I take 225 mg of propafenone every 8 hours (6, 2, and 10).  It is a nuisance sometimes, but well worth the payoff. I sometimes even forget that I am a "heart patient"."


"It is SO important to get rid of ALL of your shoes and socks at about the 3 month mark of taking the prescription, when you are starting to see healthy toe nail growth, or it will keep coming back. Definitely worth the sacrifice!!"


"Pros: Easy and always there. I feel more secure with this method compared to birth control pills. I also don't get periods anymore!

Cons: I have had this implant since Feb 2015. It has barely been 5 months and so far I have gained 20 pounds! The weight gain is terrible and I am worried that I will keep gaining weight even though I eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. Sometimes the implant makes my arm very sore. About the time I would normally have a period each month, I get bloated, cramp and get very moody, the symptoms I associate with a period, but have no bleeding or spotting.

Overall, this is a good contraceptive, but if you are considering it, the weight gain is a significant side effect."


"Since I was in 10th grade, I've had anxiety and depression. I was placed on Lexapro 10mg, but still had some social anxiety and anxiety about other things. I didn't have as much as before so the doctor increased it to 20mg. I've never felt better. Like others have said, I almost forget I have anxiety. I feel fine everyday and it's the greatest feeling in the world. If anyone is reading this post and is unsure about asking the doctor about help with anxiety, social anxiety, depression, etc, please don't wait. This drug truly saved my life."


"Diagnosed and medicated for 17 years.  Tegretol/Equetro/Carbamazepine keeps me from wanting to (and sometimes actually) smacking or choking someone.  I'm on several things, but I know it's the tegretol because that feeling has come back a couple times over the years and we just increase my dosage and I'm back to normal."


"I started Contrave less than 4/mo ago. I have never provided a review before but feel I should with this drug. I have lost 17/lbs so far and it has been steadily going down. I am a counselor so as a result of my job I emotionally eat quite a bit. Contrave keeps my cravings & stress eating from popping up so when I do eat, it is easy to make the healthy choice. I am not jittery because it is not a stimulant. The only negatives have been constipation which I address with a stool softner. I also find that I don't consume as much alcohol which is not actually a downside unless you are trying to get drunk. Most of my office is now on this prescription and most have lost 5lbs per month. It isn't covered by our inurance but should be. Love it!"


"Pills are very small and easy to swallow. I have no side effects from this medication. I use it to prevent serious urinary tract and bladder infections. I take it after sexual intercourse and it does prevent UTI's for me. I wouldn't want to live without this medication."


"Prednisone has helped me so much I had a nasty eye infection, sores on my scalp & face caused by hair dye, it dried up my infection in just 2 days. IT even stopped the pain on my knees its given me incredible relief for my allergies."


"This medicine does not help me at all with Trigeminal Neuralgia. "


"I was on Prozac and it wasn't working anymore. I tried Pristiq and for the first couple of weeks I didn't feel "right". Then, I started feeling much better. I also take a prescribed supplement called Deplin because my body doesn't absorb folic acid- a source of my depression. I don't know if it's the Deplin, the Pristiq or both, but I don't get depressed anymore. I do get kind of "mean" when I drink coffee with it. My sex drive is loooooow and achieving orgasm is difficult. I also suffer from dry mouth at night. But, I'm here to rate the medication on how well it helped my depression and it helped so very much. It's expensive, even with insurance."


"I am an uncommon person. I actually had an adverse reaction to the drug. I was honestly one of the most popular kids in my school. Known for good looks, etc. I was such a pretty boy, that when I started to get even a mild breakout, I urged my mom to make a dermatologist appointment. My dermatologist prescribed me accutane. It was the worst decision of my life. My face EXPLODED with acne. For the past year and a half, I have struggled with depression, visited numerous doctors, surgeons, spent THOUSANDS of dollars on surgeries, and  am only about 70% improved from the point that I started accutane. I can not express enough how much this drug has severely effected me in my life, and ask you to use caution when this drug. Please use caution."


"This is a strong and multi purpose antibiotic.  Yes you will get stomach pain,  yes you will get loose stools and yes you get some other form of discomfort.  But if you want to rid your upper respiratory infection quick and for good then this is the drug.  No pain no gain.  This drug almost guarantees that the original infection will not return.   When it comes to sinuses you need to destroy all off the bad bacteria for good.  Just reducing the bacteria with a mild antibiotic that agrees with you is certain to allow the same bacteria to grow and make you sick again a month or two in the future.  Tough it up butter cup and destroy that bad bacteria for good."


"I think this birth control is the best by far but I have not taken any other forms of it. I just really like that I don't ever have to worry about it like taking a pill everyday. One thing I don't like about it so far is that I have light spotting ever since I've had it but it's not a burden. I know that I can count on this birth control because I haven't heard stories of it not working. I have not gained a lot of weight but I can be moody from time to time but overall this birth control is the easiest option!"


"So Brintellix.... Started out with a small 5 mg dosage, didn't feel any positive affects nor negative. Which is positive, since I expected some serious nausea - so no side effects at all. Then 10 days ago my dosage was increased to 10 mg, still no side effects (this is the first antidepressant, that doesn't come with any side effect for me)  I can't feel a huge improvement, but it seems like my mood is more stable, and concentration has improved. I will just have to give it some time. Overall I'm very happy that I started taking this medicine"


"This spray is very effective in eradicating nocturnal angina pain and as a precursor to physical exercise thereby inhibiting pain. Very effective pain reliever in a convenient delivery system, fantastic!"


"So I've been constipated for about 4 days and I've tried everything. I went from eating more fibers to trying to force it out. I told my parents my mom who was clueless on what to do told my dad and he gave me lactulose. It took about 4 hours to kick in and it did not hurt at all to poop and it was just so amazing getting it all out. My stomach did feel uncomfortable before I pooped but it really does go away. I stayed near the bathroom for  about an hour but I guess it depends"


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"Recently I was prescribed with amoxicillin pills for a throat infection and they made me feel much better but..... the side effects are horrible I have awful stomach pain, diarrhea, and a horrible taste in my mouth at all times! I can't get rid of the taste even if I eat or drink I still have this metallic taste in my mouth and feel dehydrated even though I'm not. I would only recommend this if you where really not feeling well but you will have to deal with awful side effects"


Brompheniramine / dextromethorphan / pseudoephedrine

"Won't  try it any longer to judge efficacy. Took the first 5ml dose ( one tsp) as directed, and my lips and tongue actually burned, as if I had taken a teaspoon of hot sauce. The burning lingered on my lips for about 5 minutes. Never had this kind of a reaction before to cough meds  (I'm 51) so that was it for me. Can't say whether it would have worked because I cannot deal with such a bizarre reaction to what is clearly labeled on the bottle a "flavorless pink liquid."  I'll go back to OTC Robitussin or another with expectorant myself. $20 for a 180 ml bottle through my insurance."


"This will be graphic so you can know what could happen if you get this IUD. I have not had children. When the PA put skyla in, by opening my cervix (hurts extremely bad), she described it as a few cramps but it was nothing like a cramp to me. (I told my sister and she said it is more like contractions.) I cried out in pain and the PA tells me that some women pass out from it because it effects a nerve that can make you pass out, vomit, have diarrhea, etc. She didn't tell me any of that before! I felt so sick, I couldn't walk out of the place until I went to the bathroom to throw up. I also had the other side effect before I left. Since then, I have cramps and spotting regularly. After sex, I have cramping. I wish I wouldn't have gotten it."


"It cured my pain (trigeminal neuralia), but I had nasty side effects at first: mild headaches, nausea, tired, feeling too full and bloated (even when not eating), weight gain, dizzy, etc. I stuck with it, and after two weeks I was still feeling bloated and headaches, and continued to gain weight. I researched ways to counteract the negative effects, and started taking a B6 supplement (for weight gain) and an herbal diuretic (for the bloat). I no longer feel bloated, and the headaches are gone. I'm on my 4th (or 5th?) week of lyrica, and am feeling much better. I don't think I'm still gaining weight, but it's too soon to tell. I wasn't eating any more or less than usual, so if the B6 helps, that would be nice."


"I just wanted to say how blessed and happy I feel right now, I was ovulating and the condom broke and the next day I went and got Plan B One Step. Now let me just say, I'm a high school student and the whole wait time that I had to wait to get my period (2 weeks) made me feel miserably but let me tell you it really does work. I took plan b in the beginning of May and my period was due the end of May (I just got it today) but I've never been so sick from such a medication but let me tell you, it was all worth it, these reviews saved my entire life and helped me and I could not be more thankful right now, so if right now your stressing out and you're hoping it works just know that it does, I wish you all the absolute best!!!"


"Suboxone and Subutex are definitely a viable alternative to methadone or purely tapering off opiates/opiods. Remember that eating anything containing multiple grams of acetaminophen, especially chronically or with alcohol is way more liver toxic than most patients and doctors realize. I stopped killing my liver - methadone and Subutex/Suboxone were a great help. Just taper off all of it before it, too becomes a habit."


"The only reason this birth control was effective, was because no bf wants to have sex with his gf when she is bleeding every day. I had the implant placed in August/September 2016. It has been about 7 months and I have not stopped bleeding. Well maybe there's been a few days of no actual bleeding but then it started up all over again. When I wasn't bleeding, it wasn't a few days in a row. It was throughout the 7 months. So really I've been having  second day period for the past 7 months. 3 months was normal I was told for the body to get used to the birth control, but 7 months not okay. My doc. said that 1 in 10 women have constant bleeding. I was just the very unfortunate one. I am getting it taken out next week!!"


"17 months of use.  Good overall experience.  First 6 months outstanding. Lost weight, gym almost every day, active.  After about 12 months, anxiety and lethargy reappeared on occasion, then more prevalent past couple of months. Doctor said to double up for a few days, and that seems to help (2x50 mg). As in most medicines of this type, effectiveness can diminish with time.  Side effects minimal, lightheaded in the morning, need Cialis at times, sometimes not.  After 2 years of Effexor XR, this related medicine has been a welcome relief from the Effexor side effects."


"This is the 2nd time I use this medicine.  The first time I lost 30 lbs, the reason I got off was because we had started trying to get pregnant.  After 2 years of being off the medicine, I just got back on.  It's been 1/2 month and I've lost 9lbs, but 3 inches off the waist, 1 off my calves, 1 off the thighs, 1 off hips, 2 off bust, 1.5 off the arms. I just started my diet, and I've been exercising for 5 months and couldn't lose anything. But with the pill I've been losing."


"Yes it is effective as a birth control contraceptive. The side effects I have had loss of sex drive, moodiness, weight gain and an irregular menstrual cycle. I stopped taking that pack of pills the end of January 2014 as of now I have yet to have a menstrual cycle. Something is right."


"I tried this med as a last resort. I had already tried birth control, Prozac and then a hysterectomy. I went to a new doctor desperate to find anything that would help. The mood swings, hopelessness, anger and lack of interest was interfering in my home and work life. I have been suffering for years and it was only getting worse. She suggested trying this medication in combination with a low dose hormone supplement. It has worked wonders! I am taking the 100mg dosage and I haven't had any side effects. I am 5 days past the time my PMDD should be starting up and feeling great!!!"


"I suffer from severe anxiety and depression and often find myself unable to fall asleep (note I take about 4 mg of klonopin a day). I've never used a sleep aid before this, other then melatonin, and after almost 2 weeks of broken sleep I could say I had a solid 8 hours and actually needed my alarm to wake me up for once lol. The klonopin helps but I don't like taking it right before bed and would never give me a sleep like this. Woke up a little groggy but nothing unusual, no hallucinations or side effects. 12mg did the trick (broke the pill 20mg) and my gf said she's never seen my sleep like that, I was drooling lol. Long story short it is an effective sleep aid for me and suffered no ill effects. Felt well rested as well."


"Lamictal changed my life!  It is what I use as an antidepressant for Bipolar II (300 mg in the morning) along with Seroquel ER 100 mg at night which keeps my anxiety in check.  No side effects from either."


"When I first started taking birth control I was only 13, I started it because I used to have two week long heavy & horrific periods every two weeks! I first started out on Yasmin, but later was switched to Ocella for insurance reasons. I'm now almost 19, have been on birth control for 5+ years, and I NEVER want to go back. It helps keep my skin clearer & softer (I only break out about a week before my period now) and my periods are much better now! I used to have issues with my period ending when I started a new pack, but eventually my body got used to it & now my periods are light with little/no cramps and only last around 3 days! I seriously could not be happier"


"I have suffered from RLS and PLMD for years.  The last few years I've been taking Sinemet, which worked great in the beginning but gradually lost its effectiveness.  I was up to 3 pills a day and the RLS was worse than ever.  My neurologist just started me on Mirapex and it is incredible.  One pill at night and I get a good nights sleep.  I'm also not getting the RLS during the daytime anymore. I haven't felt this good in a long time!  No side effects either."


"I started LoLo about one month ago. I switched from Nuvaring to the pill. Everyone is different, but for reference, I'm 26, 5'8", 130. I'm pretty healthy and wanted to see how this would work and now I've had nausea for about 3 weeks, low sex drive, low appetite. My skin and weight have not changed at all. Called my doc and she said my body is getting used to the meds. Hoping this ends soon because it's no fun!"


"I had the mirena for 8 months, from the moment it was inserted I was in pain. About three weeks after getting inserted I made a trip to the emergency room for what I thought was a really bad UTI, turned out to be PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE. I was held in the hospital overnight to be given a morphine drip due to how much pain I was in and multiple rounds of antibiotics.... for those that don't know what PID is It usually occurs when transmitted bacteria spread from the vagina to the womb (uterus), fallopian tubes, or ovaries. The doctors say that when it was inserted it caused an infection which then spread due to it being so far up. I ended up with it again 2 months later. Had horrible sickness and weight gain. No period though."


"I took the Walgreens version of Monistat 3 for a yeast infection after the Diflucan didn't seem to be working. A few minutes after insertion I experienced intense burning and itching for a hour. I was still uncomfortable after that but nothing else happened until 7:30 the next morning when the itching and burning started back up. I ran to the shower to wash off any external cream but that didn't help much. I called the nurse at my GYN's office crying and she told me there wasn't much I could do except take an antihistamine and wait for the drug to work it's way out of my body. I took a Zyrtec and it was a little better a half an hour later. But I'm telling you I thought I was going to die. I'm still not sure if I'm allergic or what."


"This stuff works ridiculously well. The first time I took it I woke up the next morning and I was instantly wide awake and full of energy it's like nothing I've ever had before. Absolutely no drowsiness carrying on to the next day."


"I had a severe reaction to taking Lyrica.  I gained 40 lbs in 2 months, and had such severe swelling in my legs."


"Was proscribed this by my doctor to treat a bad cough due to an upper respiratory infection. It only made the coughing worse. Didn't make any sense to me. I was coughing mildly before I took the medicine, then 20 minutes after taking it, I started to cough up a lung. Will NEVER take this stuff again for a cough. Threw the entire bottle out."


"I have suffered for a year with severe gastro problems that landed me in the emergency room 3 times and a ride in the ambulance.  This medicine is a miracle but can cause severe diarrhea (like stay close to the bathroom and don't leave your house till you adjust).  It is a miracle medication and has greatly improved the quality of my life."


"I've had the implant for around 2 years and the first year was fine. Completely forgotten TBH. The last few months however, I've had really horrible mood swings and been extremely depressed. At first I thought maybe I wasn't mentally healthy but after reading such high statistics that the implant does in fact provoke depression I'm certain the implant is making me feel this way. I sincerely hope no one goes through what I did!! It's caused such fights in my life because I've had extreme anger and upset."


"I got on this back when it was Implanon. I have been on it for 6 years total. I'm due to get it out on the 24th and I plan to keep it out. I'm always nauseous, have headaches, dizziness, severe mood swings and anxiety. I just don't feel "normal". Didn't relate it to the BC at first because I thought I was just being a big baby about it but after seeing so many people worth the same feelings it confirms my feelings. The first time I didn't have a period for two years then when I got after it ended I was extremely sick. This time my periods are sporadic and either really heavy or really light. Usually with old blood. Getting it out soon and really hoping I feel better when it's all out of my system. Plus side: it's really good at its job."


"I've had the side effects of nausea, diarrhea and low sex drive. Even so, it has helped improve my mood and reduced my anxiety. The side effects have decreased in the past few weeks but at first were bothersome.

Largest complaint is the copay! Our cost is $122 after insurance! Outrageous. I probably wont be able to afford it for long. Sad because I finally found something that was working."


"I took Lexapro for approximately 3 years for OCD and panic attacks. Initially it did help the OCD and anxiety, but I then seemed to adjust to it and it did nothing for me anymore. I did gain about 15 lbs on it. It took me about 8-10 weeks to get off it and I have to say the withdrawal is the WORST feeling in the world.  Now that I'm free of it, I'm back to the OCD and panic attacks, but can't say I would go back on the Lexapro."


"This med was given to me to replace lexapro and klonipin I took the med as directed and had the worst week of my life. The vivid dreams caused me to believe my sister and friends we're sneaking around trying to take my house or shooting me and burning it down it was so real to me. The tremors were uncontrollable I didn't know what day it was, I was living a nightmare. I'm 55 with two adult children I couldn't drive walk work it made me a zombie. I wouldn't give this med to my worst enemy. Every side effect I had"


"HI<I am  a 60 yr old female and have been diabetic since my early 20's.I have been  on several medications and until  this one I couldn't get  my blood sugars under control. I am over weight and my body is resistant but  12 units of this drug and my sugars are great.a1c WENT FROM 7.8 TO 6.1"


"The side effects are giving me trouble, especially the headaches and nasal congestion, but I hope that my body will get used to them.  I can't get my liver transplant without getting the pressure down."


"This drug probably kept me from killing myself, but missing a dose once after using it for almost two years and I was diagnosed with withdrawal.  It hurt. Bad.  Worse was getting was even my Psychiatrist called "brain zaps".  They started out very infrequent and weak, but as time went on it was torture.  They were around the clock and even woke me up every night several times each night.  I almost want to leave my email if the drug company wanted to talk to me about it, but can only imagine the emails I would get from everywhere.  Best wishes to all."


"Ive been taking Apri for about 4 months and it has been great. I can predict my periods to the day now and they are only for 3 days and hardly painful."


"I think this medicine is awesome!  I've personally struggled with hearing voices since age 17 and visions since age 20.  I have been on psychotropic medications since age 14, all different types.  From age 19 I have been taking the Risperdal Consta injection until 2 months ago when I started the Invega Sustena injection.  The voices and visions are completely gone.  And, I'm alot more alert than I was on Risperdal  Consta injection."


"Just diagnosed with arthritis. I have osteoporosis now. Have only been using this for 3 days and it works wonderful. It eases my neck pain to wear I hardly feel any hurt. I'm weary of the side effects so don't know how long I will use this cream but I tell you what, if I hurt, this cream is the 1st thing I would go for!"


"I had the skyla put in 3months ago. I have to say I was excited about getting it. The only thing now is that I'm experiencing the weight gain. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it long I do not like the extra weight. I'm not sure if I'm going to have to diet more or exercise more but it is beginning to be annoying to me. I'm going to give it a couple more months to see if I can gain some control over my issue if it doesn't change I'm going to consider removing it."


"No negative side effects. Stopped my period after 2-3 months. When I wanted to get pregnant, stopped the medicine and after one cycle got pregnant. Restarted my prescription at 6 weeks postpartum."


"I have bI polar was diagnosed last year and since I was a baby I had epilepsy. Anyway, I've been on Lithium for a long time and  hate it. It killed my thyroid. When I started taking it, first blood test I took a month later. When results came out my doctor said I have hypothyroidism now. I had a lot of pain that I could not even move, and I was cold from my hypothyroidism. It was all from this pill. I want to be off of it. I fund anticonvulsant pills that also does bipolar, I showed it to him. And he says that my neurologist has to agree. I see her end of this month. Do not take Lithium.... it kills your thyroid!"


"I am 19 years old and have female androgenetic alopecia, at an alarmingly high stage at that. This had a HORRIBLE initial shed but it has stopped shedding and now I have less hair falling out. I don't see any regrowth though and am using minoxidil every other day so maybe if I used it regularly I'd be fine. Minoxidil is causing me to grow lots of facial hair though (5% concentration) and the spironolactone is supposed to fix hirsutism but the minoxidil is more dominating in the facial hair aspect... not giving up though because keeping hair on my head is more important than having a hairy face. I can just wax/thread facial hair."


"After my divorce I was depressed and having anxiety attacks, I went to a respectable Doctor but she prescribed me Wellbutrin, after taking it for awhile I felt numb (mentally). I tried a 1mg Xanax and it was perfect! I slept great, but when I first started taking them I would wake up groggy. I would get a shower and that would wake me up. I've been taking them for about 7 years. I am currently cutting my doses down to try to ween off them! I do not have an addictive personality but after a job loss of 10 yrs I tried to quit cold turkey! Not a good idea at all! I can only say use as prescribed and less if possible! Don't just pop one because you are stressed out! Take a walk, talk to a friend, please use with caution."


"Started Humira in April 2013 and I have lost lots of hair and have skin issues. I have also lost weight and have no appetite. I also am on Diflucan for Valley fever. "


"I take Lialda 3.6g each morning which cleared up my diarrhea and bloody stool but I have had neurological side effects of headaches, fatigue, and slow-thinking, and abdominal pain, gas, and bloating as well. I'm too scared to switch to other meds despite an asacol prescription given the risk of flare ups when meds change, but I don't want the mental haziness for the rest of my life."


"I have been on Rexulti for 2 weeks. I also take 150mg of Zoloft, 200 mg Trazadone, 30mg vyvanse and xanax ER.
I have more energy, I can actually leave the house now, I laugh and don't worry as much. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because of some slight nausea, headaches and my tinnitus has gotten worse. Hopefully those things will go away soon "


"I've used this since first diagnosed and starting HAART in 2004, and it's worked extremely well:  my numbers have never been below 1200 since 3 months after stating it.  I first used it with Sustiva, and now use it with Isientress."


"I'm 43 and smoked since 18.  I tried the patch and gum and could not last more than a week.  I tried Chantix and it was mind blowing.  Nothing really changed but after the first 2 or 3 days of taking it Cigs just tested awful and I didn't get that "cig fix".  It got to a point where it was just why bother?  I stopped for a month right off the bat.  I stopped taking my meds early as I thought I was "cured".  Mistake.  I didnt really want another cig until I went drinking.  Even then the urge was not too much but just made a bad decision while drunk and thought I missed it.  I really didnt and got back and finished my supply of Chantix.  For me the only side effect were dreams.  Very very weird and crazy dreams.   It worked for me."


"I was on synthroid it drove me bonkers and took out my hair. I cut out gluten and changed my diet. It all works hand in hand one but, nature-throid changed my health completely around. "


"I'm 18. Got the mirena iud for prolonged heavy periods. I have been off and on of various forms of birth control for nearly 3-4 years trying to fix this problem. Birth control was working, but I wanted something more permanent because I was tired of taking the pill everyday. I've had the IUD since Feb 28 and for the first few months my periods were everyday and heavy. Now it's August 12 and I still get periods, but they are very light(pantyliner bearable). However I'm still concerned because I don't like the feeling of bleeding everyday, even if it is light. I'm not satisfied with mirena and at this point I'm not sure what to do about my period problems."


"I have bipolar disorder, chronic depression, and anxiety and gabapentin has help tremendously without the use of other narcotic medicines. Yea, it makes you feel a little loopy for the first few weeks, but after that it does a wonderful job calming the nerves. One day I decided to go off it and the next day I had insane mood swings until I started it back up 2 days later and then it was like night and day. So that's how I know this stuff works. While I was off it, I threw my back out and after going back on it my back pain was virtually gone. Killed two birds with one stone. It does make my face more oily than normal along with minor fatigue and added hunger, but other than that I love it."


"Hives and itchy skin and very bad hand itch that cased to to scratch. I used to get them every other day for 2-3 hours I used to lock myself in the room and itch and itch and itch then. I was told about Xyzal from my father-in-law. Life is so good with Xyzal. I only wish this medicine is known to more people who suffer from itch and hives that make life so painful. But when Medicine like Xyzal is created. It's very good medicine that can cure allergies or itchy skin.  I just take one tablet every 2 days and sleep like baby and feel the best next mooring."


"I started this medication via a sample pack about two months ago.  I went up to 20mg.  My Doctor thought that I should stay on it longer even though I felt it was doing nothing for me.  Now, after two months I have started having lower abdominal pain which turns into discomfort and pain again.  My bowels are all over the chart from the diarrhea to very slight constipation.  There is no rhyme or reason.  I also now have very uncomfortable boating.  I have a feeling of fullness in my lower abdomen, and had an ultra sound done by my OBGYN to se if I was having issues with my ovaries or uterus and that came back clean and clear.  I also have random nausea.  Sometimes early in the day, other times later on at night."


"Reporting in. After 5 weeks of stopping the Anastrazole, my joint pain was pretty much gone and I was ecstatic! Due to serious family illness, I had to postpone my follow up visit with my oncologist. Fearing that I had been off the med long enough, I started taking it again. That was a week ago. The joint pain came back today with a vengeance  - aching knees, aching back, shortness of breath, barely able to walk. I cannot take this med anymore and it worries me as the alternatives (tamoxifen) are not as effective. See my doc in five days. Will post again. My heart goes out to all the women posting on this forum."


"I've been taking Trinessa-Lo pills for about 5 months now. So far in the past 5 months I had experienced the random nausea in the beginning, irregular spotting (which still happened to me last month), and I felt a bit more emotional. HOWEVER, this past week, I got my first ever panic attack and anxiety which I've never felt before and it's horrible. I do have a heavy stress filled workload as I'm a grad student, but have never felt like this. I've also noticed a decreased tolerance to wearing my contact lens, it's like there's sand in my eyes right when I put them in! I guess the only pros of the pills are that they kept my skin pimple free, periods light & short.going to get off the pills soon and see if it helps. Will try to update"


"This drug is awful. I started taking it for depression over 11 years ago and I've been on doses 75 mg up to 300mg. I'm currently taking 150mg and I'm so addicted. I've tried so many times to get off the drug and can't go longer than that third day. It will make u sick and crazy. My advice to anyone is never start it. It may as well be classified like painkillers and other addictive drugs. Please do not start this medication. Oh and btw I'm still very much depressed!!"


"I am a diesel mechanic and I have chronic back pain and knee problems. Oxycodone has been a God send for me. I am able to perform my duties still. "


"Well,  got my lab results and my cholesterol is 311. Not good. Dr put me on 20mg generic lipitor daily. By the 9th day oh man I was a mess. Brain fog, stomach pain,  dizzy and kind of angry. So I decided to take the pill every other day. I read that it could be just as effective. It works wonders! No side effects taking 20mg every other day. My Dr don't know that I dropped down to every other day. She will know soon. I sent her an email just waiting for her to read it. So if daily dose is too much, try every other day or ask for the lower dose"


"very bad mood swings."


"Nasacort does not always work right away and often needs time to build up in your system. I didn't think it worked at first, but I eventually realized it did. It does a pretty good job of opening up my nasal passages that often have severe congestion. It is a lifesaver when I'm sleeping and wake up with horrendous sinus pressure. It works instantaneously.

I have had zero side effects. I am prone to anxiety like I'm assuming a lot of other people here. The first day or two I took it, I attributed a faster heartbeat and feeling blue to the Nasacort. It's false correlation due to panic.

Please don't be afraid to take this because of side effects read about by other panickers."


"This is truly a mind altering drug. Takes the lust with food out of your mind. I had difficulty the first two days I went from 3/day to four..so I backed off to 3 again for another week and then did fine when I increased. I do have headaches, but I have never had the nausea ppl talk about except for the day I increased to 4. I have asthma and hypertension. Both are doing well on this drug. I have lost 11.9 lbs in 5 weeks. I do not feel deprived. I still enjoy an occasional sweet treat, and have still lost weight on those days. The main thing that I have eliminated is snacking. I really don't have any desire to do that. I drink a lot more water now too. This drug does seems to give a dry mouth.  Very happy with this drug."


"After a surgically induced menopause, the onset on hot flashes and night sweats was so fierce asked my nurse practitioner what works.  She mentioned Divigel.  I started on the lowest dose and actually felt like myself again within one week of use.  Keeping in mind you want to stay on the lowest dose possible, she reminded me that this is to cut down only on the severity of those hot flashes, not get rid of them entirely.  I am so happy on this HRT.   Just apply to your upper thigh once daily and that's it!"


"Today is my first day taking it, and I am faithful it will work. My doctor has placed me on Vibrid but that was $100 out of pocket cost. Though I did find it helpful, my insurance copay for it and my budget will not allow me to continue usage. Got off of it for 3 weeks, now starting this one. I have faith - we shall see."


"I had a constant 24/7 headache for two years straight before trying Botox. I tried every other conceivable medication to no avail, but Botox cut my pain to a third of its previous level. I still get injections every four months or so, but it's been three years and I still have the much lower pain level, can work, and am thankful everyday for Botox."


"I first started experiencing restless leg when I was 17. I'm 23 now. I immediately went to the doctor as I was wanting to literally claw my face off and stab my leg multiple times. I was put on ropinirole 0.5, then 1, then 2. It began making me very anxious at night to the point I was extremely agitated. It increased my anxiety tremendously right before I was prescribed gabapentin. I have dexterscoliosis and osteoarthritis in my back affecting my sciatic nerve. It sucks for my nerve pain but works WONDERS for my restless leg. I love it. I currently take 600mg in the AM, and 900mg in the PM. The drowsiness is more at night vs in the AM but it still makes me quite drowsy. I don't care. As long as the RLS is gone!! "


"Fractured distal radius surgery. This relieves all my pain."


"First night I tried a half. Fell asleep but woke up and was wide awake through the rest of the night.  2 nd night took a full pill feel heart pounding numb fingers can't fall asleep now wide awake. Worse then first night."


"Good for treating post-meal blood sugar spikes."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I have had about 4 or 5 colonoscopies and every prep I have ever done has been bad. Suprep is no different. I barely got down the prep let alone the 32 more ounces of water. I even took nausea meds before hand. I used the berry propel water to mix it and sucked on the lemon after each huge gulp. I even had some orange flavored water I had to drink as well to keep from vomiting. It tastes nasty but started working within an hour. I also have been on clear liquids since yesterday and started the prep this evening. I already have the water. If you have had as many bowel issues as I have then this is just a bad irritable bowel episode with less discomfort. The MD gave me the prep in his office."


"My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex, wasn't planned we had the condom out and ready but just in the heat of the moment we never used it. And he went fully in me. It was 9 days after my cycle, so freaking out I went out and bought plan b. Took it 22 hours after having sex, and had to wait the terrifying 2 weeks. I was always getting on here and reading reviews trying to calm myself down and trying not to stress. Thankfully for me The pill did work, I got my period a week early just as I always do. It was slightly heavier but hey I'll take it and was happy to see red. I got a lot of cramps from taking it but by far worth the 50 bucks. But with it being the most terrifying experience I've had, I hope I never go through this again though."


"Effective in gaining control of a moderate UC flare, but awful to use.  This is an enema that should be retained - "Held in" all night.  This is especially difficult for me during a flare.  Don't fart! Stains. Tip- squeeze all the air out before administering."


"I had a bad chest infection and even after potent antibiotics took care of the

infection I had a rattling cough and low grade fever

My doctor Rxd Mucinex and I could not believe how well it broke up the

congestion in my chest, made it easier for me to cough it all up

As a result I finally got rid of the low grade fever also

Finally, Guafenesin has been around forever as a remedy for fibromyalgia"


"Severe diarrhea and nausea"


"It's a miracle pill! I would have not been able to break the habit, if it were not for methocarbomal! It really does work! For me the worst part of withdrawal is the pain in the bones (the feeling that your bones want to jump out of your skin). This medication along with Suboxone for me, has almost completely eliminated that pain! I take 2 x 750 or 3 500mg every 6 hours right before I take my Suboxone. Thank you, to whoever has made this pill.
NOTE: when I wasn't going through withdrawal the medication had no type of reaction on me. "


"The technician had injected about four syringes into the spider veins on my two legs when I suddenly felt very nauseous and sick. He stopped treatment immediately and put a blood pressure cuff on me. I also drank some water. The nauseous feeling quickly left me, but then I just felt very weak and generally ill. The technician was excellent, as he stayed with me the entire time until he was sure I was feeling OK. My blood pressure had spiked to 160/122 from my intake figures of 123/82. He continued to take my blood pressure every 5 to 10 minutes until it had fallen below 150 and was continually heading downward. He also commented on my color and when I looked "normal" again he felt it was OK for me to leave. At that point, I also began to feel like myself again, though I was fairly exhausted and felt tired after the experience. This exhaustion lasted for about six hours after the last injection, before finally leaving me."


"I have been on Qysmia 5 months, and I have gone from 198 to 173.  My high blood pressure is under control.  Side effects I have experienced is tiredness but that's about it.  With any medication that I controlling so much of what we need to survive there will be some side effects, So if you are eating the foods you need to help with these side effects (healthier options) it is great.  I will continue on this medication for another 3 months and decide what to do then   I recommend this medication"


"Terrible! First year was ok, I gained weight tho but I didn't have periods. But second year is a nightmare! Irregular bleedings, pain, cramps and mood swings. Painful pimples appeared every time I had bleedings.

Now I can't wait to remove it, I hope that I will recover.

Never recommend to anyone!"


"Very fast acting, very effective, and does not make you as drowsy the next day.  Have experienced some dizziness the following day, but nothing serious."


"This drug saved my life. I had General Anxiety Disorder(GAD) and i get a few panic attacks, and this has been the most helpful thing for it."


"When treating for Basal Cell Carcinoma, in my case the arm, HEED THE WARNING to not use on sore or broken skin, which should include recently biopsied lesions to avoid any confusion. Wait until the excision site has healed. I did not receive this instruction and began using it that night. The pain was beyond description, reached deep into the muscle tissue, and lasted for hours.  Follow-up phone calls of course confirmed the oversight. "


"I would rather not take any medicine at all than take this med. it made me feel awful. Achy all over, headache, blurred vision, no energy. Numbness in hands and feet. I wouldn't recommend it. It didn't help me focus or stay awake. In fact I just wanted to lay down it made my head hurt so bad."


"I have a low tolerance to medication and most pain relief but have Been taking meloxicam for over three years with lansoprazole to protect stomach and I have had no problems at all no side affects and I have found its the best pain relief available for a number of spinal injuries/kneck injury"


"This was horrible.  It did fix my blood pressure, but while on it I fainted once and I didn't have the energy to work outside.  I'm 38 and it made me feel like an old man.  It took several weeks to ween off and another month to feel 90% better.  My eye is still twitching after being off of this for a month."


"The ONLY thing that works for my type of FM which is caused by the buildup of calcium/phosphate"


"For those of you needing a bit of peace and mind, read this. I had sex with my boyfriend March 3rd and the condom broke. I took Plan B 3 hours after the accident. I took it because I wasn't very sure when I ovulated due to years of irregular periods. The side effects I had after taking it were a headache and some dizziness. I was expecting my period of March 28th but it never came. However, around this time, I was bloated, cramping, and I had very tender breast. I feared the worse and took a pregnancy test  on April 1st. It came out negative, but I still hadn't gotten a period, until today (2 weeks late). Good luck to everyone."


"Have no fear if you plan to get Skyla implanted by your doctor. During the procedure, (which only lasted about 10 minutes) I felt mild cramping and a little discomfort due to the utensils going past my cervix. But once Skyla was in there... no pain, light headed mess, nausea, or even bleeding. I started to spot later in the day but that's the worst side effect I'm experiencing."


"I have been on this gel (1%) for 7 weeks now. I have had hormonal acne since 12, I am now 29. My doctor had me start with using it twice a week, then 3x a week, etc. Yes, there was a purge and yes, it does seem to be still purging. The fact is that I'm seeing improvement. I will not be stopping this treatment as nothing has worked like this before (you name it, I've tried it). I would say I'm seeing 65% improvement at this point. A huge plus is that I also have notice scars fading, wrinkles softened, and any wounds from picking definitely heal much faster. Lotion morning and night, and cerave foaming cleanser. My skin hasn't been this healthy in a long time."


"I have neck and back pain requiring fusion surgery, already had two laser procedures on them.  Only thing I haven't taken is fentanyl.  Started with a morphine Avinza, Dilaudid combination, to Dilaudid and oxycodone combination to straight up 8 x 30Mg roxicodones and Xanax daily.  Pain relief with that was amazing and cheap.  However with that being said, I asked my doctor about switching. Since I was on such strong medicines I was able to get 2 x 20Mg Opana ER daily along with 5 Opana IR.  Have been on this four months now, and is the best relief I have had in five years.  "


"I am a 28 year old female and have been taking this for more than a year, was on an angiotensin receptor blockers before. It works quite well. Lowered the dose from 10mg to 7.5 mg. Changed the brand and got the famous annoying dry cough but went back o my old brand and it is gone. With occasional dizziness and headaches it is the only medicine which has alone been able to lower my blood pressure."


"I have been orally using Diazepam, (VALIUM) 10 mg. tabs- Qty: 90 monthly. 1 tab 3x a day q 8"


"I liked this pill a lot after switching from Ortho Tri Cyclen. I was able to lose the weight that I had gained with Ortho Tri Cyclen, and I haven't been craving food all the time. This pill hasn't negatively affected my skin as far as I can tell, and I haven't had any problems with breakthrough bleeding or irregular periods. I am almost done my second month however, and I have started to notice that my sex drive has seemed to decrease and it has made me constantly dry during intercourse. "


"I battled opiate addiction for 12 years.  I finally found Suboxone, Thank GOD.  It took 2.5 years and several relapse but eventually I got over it.  I'm sure I couldn't have done it without Suboxone."


"I have such a hard time with motion sickness, so I am always sure to bring Dramamine along with me for flights, cruises, etc. I do not recommend the non-drowsy formula, however because it does not work for me. I will take drowsiness over nausea any day!"


"Been on Lisdexamphetamine for 1 year for adult ADHD. Reduction if not elimination of most symptoms eg. Forgetfulness, inattention, poor working memory. Makes life much easier. Side effects for me, though mild to moderate at times, are; Generalized anxiety, getting to sleep later ie. 11:30pm and poor appetite at lunchtime. I can deal with the side effects. The medication is a god send. Takes a few months before the full benefits take effect."


"I have herniated disc in my lower back L5, S1, arthritis starting in L3, L4 due to the disc, and pinched nerves from L5, S1. My pain specialist has put me on Percocet 10/325 to help with the pain. I have to say that it works great. Percocet is the only medicine that works well. I am also on morphine to help increase its effect. I would not be able to continue working without it. If they were to take it off the market I would not be able to work anymore. Thank you Percocet for all that you help me do, in my very active job of twisting and bending."


"Amazing medicine, side effects minimal and results fast.  Hallucinations, visual and auditory gone completely within days of starting this medication, also seemed to improve overall mood."


"Started taking Rapaflo about a month ago after experiencing horrible side effects with Flomax.  I find that it only works well if I take it every few days, and then it only works for about 24 hours.  Taking it every day does nothing for me after the first 24 hours.  However, when it does work it reduces my nightly urinations from 20  to about 10, doubling my sleep.  The ejaculation side effect is completely awful though."


"62y.o. female. First time with flu virus in 15 yrs. Went to medfast & was prescribed tamiflu. Afraid to take last day dose because of fuzziness in my right eye last night. Still have flu symtoms for 4 days & counting. Other side effects from tamiflu were: right eye blur, bad headache, dry mouth, hoarseness, muscle spasms, sweating, slight upper abdominal pain, nausea. You can see why I am afraid to take anymore. Dont know if it shortened flu symtoms. This is day 5 & feel a little better but have severe headache & coughing still. So maybe took meds too late but getting fuzzy in my right eye last nite scared me enough to stop it."


"I will be starting my 4th round next week of Xeloda (generic).  I have stage 4 breast cancer that I have been battling for over 6 years.  Tumor spread to the liver, some sort of tumors near my kidney pressing my urethra, and pleurisy.  I was losing 1 to 2 lbs a day.

This is only my third therapy in all those years.  My first round was 4,000 mg per day for 14 days.  We had to adjust as the pain in my feet became horrific after a week.  I am now taking 3,000 mg per day for 7 days on; 7 days off.

I am no longer losing weight so we know the xeloda is probably working on the liver.  The pleural area is not refilling (had surgery); kidney was saved with stents.

Please do not be quick to jump to another drug (only when they stop working)."


"After 9 days and 3 enamas, 2 glycerine suppositories, endless amounts of water, smooth move, copious amounts of stool softeners and rancid apple cider vinegar I finally made the jump and drank half the bottle of cherry. 12 hrs 41 mins later I am in heaven! I couldn't be more thankful for this miracle worker. Overall...the cramping was bearable. If there is a next time I will not wait, I'll go straight for the cherry!"


"I have been using this medication for 14 years without any problems or breakthrough seizures. I tried to switch to the generic version without success. It made me feel foggy brained. Too bad, because it is a lot cheaper."


"I have used this product 4 times and each time it has been very effective. The side effects aren't that bad, the worst that happens is stronger cramps on your period and fatigue. Your period may come a couple days after you take the pill or it may not even come that month however you shouldn't stress because stressing will delay it even more. This product is great and if taken correctly you should have nothing to worry about."
