"I take this birth control mainly for cramps, and I've been on it for almost two years. I only feel nauseous if I miss a pill and have to double up or take 2 a day. It made me nauseous when I first started taking it, but that went away pretty quickly. The plus sides I've had are: 1) light periods that usually last only 4 days, 2) I only cramp on the first day usually, but if I do any other time, it's brief and pretty tolerable, 3) I always start at the same time every month, 4) no spotting throughout the month whatsoever, 5) no weight gain, 6) and no acne.

Downsides: 1) Super low libido, except for when I'm actually on my period which drives me insane.

All in all, I'd say it's a good pill for what I mainly take it for."


"I'm a very young 60-year-old and  active sexually. But have had problems peeing and then rushing to the loo to pee and no stream at all and then waking up two or three times a night. I've been on Flomax for three weeks and I have a much stronger stream when I have to pee, and now only wake up once a night or maybe not at all. But the worst thing is it has absolutely KILLED my sex drive, it's hard to get erect, it's hard to feel any sensation and it's hard to climax.  I am a bit at a loss because I don't want the TURP (Transurethral resection of the prostate) procedure, which means no more ejaculation - they go retrograde into the bladder"


"Helped limitedly for cough, but lead to severe diarrhea.....will not take again."


"Nocturemia - After 20 years of getting up every hour and a 1/2 to urinate, I am now able to sleep for 6 hours without waking. This has changed my Life."


"I took one pill and I had major nightmares"


"I was diagnosed recently with purely obsessional OCD and social anxiety and started on 25mg/day of Zoloft. Aside from a brief period of what I would call adjusting to lack of anxiety and a few mild side effects (nausea from time to time), Zoloft has given me peace and stability. The obsessive thoughts are mostly gone, but even when they do rear their ugly heads, the anxiety isn't there. It's also had an awesome mitigating effect on my ADHD. The side effects show up once in a while, but I'm willing to take a little bit of nausea over constant obsessing and crippling anxiety any day."


"Effective at controlling my blood pressure, but I have experienced the heavy legs and joint pain mentioned by others. I am a heavy exerciser and 65, so that accounts for some of the joint pain, I suppose.

One benefit is that I'm having sex 4-5 times per week since starting the medication."


"I have to take it because I can't take the regular birth control pills with estrogen. It's nice in the fact that I only get my period once every 3-6 months, but that can also make me a bit paranoid about being pregnant. I've just learned to trust the pill and take it perfectly on time. I haven't made any lifestyle changes, but in the past couple of months I've gained about 20 pounds seemingly out of nowhere. Not sure if it's because I've been on the pill for a year now or not, but the timing was strange because I started gaining weight after exactly a year on it. That's the only reason I didn't give it a 10. Weight gain aside, my periods are only about three times a year and only 2-4 days when I do get them. So that's a nice benefit."


"My grandson had a severe diaper rash. Well his boom boom was severely irritated from him having watery bowel movements for months. I would clear it up n it would come back. Soon as i applied it he was all smiles n back to being busy. Prior my daughter read the can rather than Googling its uses. I came in from work laid my grandson down n told her to hold his arms while i applied the bag balm. It's like he knew what it was going to do No scratching no grabbing at his secret area. This stuff is a true life saver. So whoever made the recommendation God Bless you."


"This is my old faithful!  Works fairly quickly and takes the pain away almost completely...most doctors don't give you more than 15-20 and if you run into a spell that's longer than a few days, then they want you to try something else."


"Skin doing well after a couple of days after already using tretinoin gel for several weeks. However, having sore throat/cough and am fearing sinusitis.  Hoping it clears up."


"This med was pretty much a dud for me. My Ibprofen 600 mg can't be beat."


"I was prescribed Elavil to help me sleep. I use to toss and turn and think about the day, the next day, and the day after. I take this medication and I am asleep within 20 minutes. I sleep all night without waking up. I also take it to get a complete night sleep to refresh my body to fight the next day with fibromyalgia."


"First time it was smooth going.. second time, severe stomach cramps for 2 days, near tears, would run to bathroom and nothing..worse than the flu, lightheaded, pale face, coldsweat like I was going to pass out, and I'm home alone with a 2 yr old!!"


"I think Viibryd is a pretty good medicine. I've been on so many different antidepressants. I'm always concerned about weight gain as a side effect because that to be completely honestest would make me not take it. However this is really good in that aspect and the only side effect I've had was diarrhea the first 3 days of taking it. "


"The first few months I took Lo Lo Fe, seemed to go well. A few mood swings and headaches, but I figured my body needed time to get used to it. Fast forward 6 months and I still have headaches every day, mood swings, issues with labido, stomach cramps, fatigue, feeling sad and down all the time, and I have gained 16 pounds! No matter how much I work out or how good I eat, my weight goes up every time I step on the scale. I finally decided to quit taking it. All the issues aren't good for me."


"I was on Bactrim for 10 days because of a Bartholin Cyst that tested positive for MRSA. On the 7th day I started experiencing back pain, intermittent low grade fevers, chills, complete fatigue and eyeball pain.  An I.D. doctor wanted me to take it for another 7 days as a precaution but I had to force him to listen to my symptoms and he told me to stop taking the Bactrim. Also don't know if it matters that I'm not of 'normal' weight for most woman at 5'5 I'm 109lbs - the symptoms I experienced were also listed as possible "overdose"....stopped Bactrim today - feel terrible."


"I took Premarin daily since 1975,with no problems, and felt great, young at heart and full of energy. Last year the insurance company decided they would not pay for it anymore and suggested Estradiol. I don't feel the same. No energy, hair thinning and bloated all the time. Next doctor appointment I'm going back on Premarin even tho it'll cost me a pretty penny."


"Good for toothaches."


"I started this medication after developing a moderate/serve anxiety disorder after my grandfather passed unexpectedly, I was started on .25mg to to take twice a day and it had absolutely NO effect on me. If anything it made me anxiety symptoms worse and my breathing more shallow & panicked. The only thing the medication was good for was to help me sleep. Other than that it did not clear any anxious thoughts or take any of the edge off my anxiety. I would not recommend it for constant anxiety/anxious thoughts. I've heard it's only good for killing quick burst panic attacks. Has no affect on long term anxious thoughts."


"A lot of people seem to get on great. 3-4 hours of intended effects is all I get, during that time I feel more motivated, social and can process information better. After that time I am even worse than I was before starting the meds! Depressed, irritated, withdrawn, empty, angry, really bad.

It's like the the 12 hours it's supposed it last, more than half of it is just a really long come down. I will be asking for instant release Dextroamphetamine next time, I assume and hope that they will be just like the initial period of this med which is perfect and helps with all my adhd symptoms."


"This is a great medicine for anyone who has high blood pressure, I felt better within 3 days of taking this medicine. Anyone needing a high blood pressure medicine should consider this."


"This was the first anti-psychotic I was put on, I was pushed into it by my psychiatrist at the time. I was on a low dose, 150mg. I took it for four months before taking myself off it due to extreme tiredness and horrific weight gain...I gained over 2.5 stones in the time I was on it, despite managing my food intake very carefully and exercising rigorously.

A couple of years later I wound up being prescribed Seroquel again, this time at 300mg. Same as last time it really knocked me out and once again I gained weight.

This med did nothing for my mood, but I kept being told to 'give the medication time to work.' After 6 months I came off it again. Since weaning off the med I haven't slept properly, and that was almost 3 months ago."


"this gets rid of my acne overnight! Although , it drys my chin out so bad to where it looks like I have a super bad sun burn and my skin is peeling . Cerave moisturizing cream helps the pelling though!"


"just took this for the first time.. I am used to taking Ambien and my new doctor wouldn't prescribe that. took it about 2 hours ago when I got off work. It is now past 4am and I am still sleepless, the only thing I feel is a little bit of reflux and my throat feels a little swollen."


"I recommend Paraguard 200%!  I am sharing my experience everywhere I can, because after my second child, when researching getting paraguard online, all I saw were negative reviews (because typically people don't go online to post the good, they post the bad).  I got my Paraguad IUD inserted 7 weeks post partum from my second vaginal birth.  I was so afraid of having it placed, and thinking it may hurt.. but I was so surprised I did not feel a dang thing!  My doc said it is a side affect of having a baby.. your cervix is a bit numb for some time.  I had very minimal cramping and some bleeding for a week, then did not even notice it was there.  My first period was crampy and heavy, but all were normal after that. Heavier, but normal"


"The only issue I have with the medication is that now I have a hard time going to the bathroom. Not really constipation, but difficulty having bowel movements. But on the other hand...... I now don't have  severe abdominal pain and running to the BR 6 and 7 times in a day, nausea, and not being able to leave my home on bad days. The trade off is worth it."


"I have been on Infliximab/Remicade for 8 years now and have been largely in remission for all of that time.  It has saved my sight and my sanity!"


"I have been on Cymbalta for about 4 months now, and finally can say that it is worth going through some of the beginning side effects.  We must be careful though, to listen to our bodies first.  Side effects can be bothersome but should not be unbearable, so if this is your case with Cymbalta or any other medication, you must consult your physician.  When I first started Cymbalta, (which I did twice before finally staying on it) I could not sleep, had headaches, and could not even drink a cup of coffee without feeling as if I was hyper.  Eventually, things got better and I was able to stop the additional medication that was prescribed to help me sleep.  Switching Cymbalta to bedtime helped tremendously!  No pain and/or anxiety."


"I am on 80mg of Latuda, 1050 mg of Lithium, 12.5mg of Ambien CR and can say I feel normal and happy again. I got my life back!"


"I started taking Sprintec around February of this year. At first I liked it because I did not cramp as much.  The acne has stayed away.  But the worse thing about it this pill is I have gain 35 pounds. I skipped a few pills a couple of weeks ago, and by just skipping those 3 pills I noticed a huge change in my appetite.  My appetite was the same as it was before I started this pill. Sprintec also gives me a yeast infection every month. Needless to say I am going to my doctor to get off this pill. "


"Do not let this thing fool you! I've had it twice now. so for the last 8 years or so. The 1st time around (after my 2nd child) I had it inserted. Didn't hurt too much that I remember. I liked having no period, living in California where it's usually sunny and warm.. no period was great. Got it out, had 1 period. Then got pregnant with my 3rd child. Decided to go with it again, and it was fine. BUT then there is the bloating..constipation.. abdominal pain.. cysts.. yeah no period is nice, but we are SUPPOSED TO HAVE THEM. This thing is bad, and it took me a loooong time to realize everything is connected.. bloating, constipation, intestinal pain, cysts, mood swings, headaches, brittle hair and nails.. etc. Mirena! Don't do it!"


"Helps calm me down a lot."


"Benadryl seems to help but makes me so sleepy it isn't really worth the symptom relief."


"Got on it for migraines, it worked great for the first 8 months. The last 4 months I've gotten depressed, panic attacks. I lost weight so weight gain wasn't an issue but I've always had issue with weight loss and not gaining. Made me lose appetite a lot and I was never thirsty either."


"This medication was amazing at the beginning, but now it has caused severe moodiness and abnormal uterine bleeding. (I've had 2 full periods in 3 weeks) and somedays I start spotting and get cramps even though I take my pills on time."


"I'm not sure if it was the cause, but after a week of using otrivin, I suffered panic disorder (sleep problems, fast heartbeat, chest tightness)."


"I have had Kyleena for just under a year. Insertion was awful. I had it put in the beginning of December, and had cramps so debilitating on Christmas that I basically missed it. I still have severe cramps very often that are not aligned with my period. They are completely random. I sometimes get severe cramping after inserting a tampon or after sex. I was hoping I would have lighter and shorter periods. They are lighter, but I have to wear a pad or a tampon 3 out of 4 weeks a month. It’s insane. The worst part is the cramping, though. It’s very painful."


"I have been on Nifedipine 30MG for 1 week for High Blood Pressure. Feel shaky inside, legs stay cold, joint aches, insomnia, and skin tingles at night. I take this medicine along with my Losartan.  I hope I can get over all the side effects."


"I've been on Pristiq about a month now. Before that I was taking Lexapro for over a year. So far I like the Pristiq much better. Both worked to keep the anxiety and panic attacks away but with Lexapro I gained 20lbs and had zero energy. All I wanted to do was eat and sleep. With Pristiq I have tons of energy! I no longer want to lay in bed all day. I don't have much of an appetite so I'm hoping I can finally lose the weight I gained from Lexapro. I'm very happy I switched to Pristiq and hope it continues to work for me.

"


"I'm a regular user of my old birth control for 5 years but went to a new doctor for my annual exam and she had me take this. HORRIBLE. First week on this stuff and my face is just COVERED with pimples, my face is itchy/irritated, and I feel awful. Never experienced this with my old birth control. I know it's only been a week and give it time and whatever. Yeah, no way. I'm just going to finish this month and go back to what worked. I'm writing this review to confirm that I experienced acne as a side effect of this pill."


"I've been taking Synthroid for a few years and has really helped. My dose has gone up several times.  I can really tell a change in how I feel now, then before I was taking it.  Tried the generic and it actually made me feel worse so I am taking the name brand only."


"I submitted my first review on April 13. Today it's June 4 th and still SUFFERING with daily pain from the drug."


"The dosage of Adderall XR is variable from person to person within the established prescribing limitations that are an essential aspect of using this drug safely. That being said, I have personally experienced the efficacy of Adderall XR as being determined by being on the right dosage (not too little or not too much) of this very effective medication for Adult Attention Deficit Disorder."


"I'm only on day 3 but thought I would share since I was looking for first couple of day reviews and couldn't find very many. I read enough to know to take AFTER eating and I have experienced very little to no nausea. (THC may have helped this) I did have some burping on the 3rd night. The main thing I notice are my thoughts after taking and sleep. The first 2 nights, I feel I got a little paranoid and some increased anxiety and noticed it was taking me longer to fall asleep. Took my 3rd dose last night, and I have yet to go to sleep. Been up for 18 hours. I even took this dose a lot earlier than the other 2 because I noticed it was taking me longer to fall asleep. I usually took it between 9 and 10 but last night I took it between 7 and 8."


"In school and gym class I would always sweat sooooo much and it was extremely embarrassing.  In the slightest heat I would sweat buckets even without any activity.  This worked the day after applying and I was simply amazed at how wonderful it works.  Only downside is after you apply it it itches but itching makes the skin irritated so you kinda have to grin and bear it."


"I am 19 years old and I've had this H Pylori for almost 2 years . My doctor put me on the treatment and I started yesterday morning after breakfast . Everytime I take it I get nauseous and feel pain in my stomach. Well today I feel like I have absolutely no energy and I'm sitting at work falling asleep and still nauseous. Is this normal or should I call my doctor. I've never called off nor been late to my job but I do not feel up to working today and I don't know why I'm feeling like this. Help please"


"On Depo-Provera injection for 7 years its been great but recently suffered a fractured knee due to a relatively small fall was sent for bone density test, I have osteoporosis bone density 14 % below normal, I will now change my contraception and hope that bone density gets better."


"I was on Actonel for five years.  I did not relate the problem I was having to the drug until after I stopped taking Actonel. I developed dry eyes.  They were so bad, they would wake me up every night five or six times and I would have to put eye drops in so I could go back to sleep.  During the day, I would have to excuse myself from meetings, etc. to leave the room to put eye drops in my eyes.  I went to several eye doctors and all they could do was say I had dry eye syndrome and wanted me to start Restasis.  I had read that you have to use this forever and I was reluctant to start it.  I put up with the dry eye problem for years. My doctor took me off Actonel after the five years and after a few months, my dry eye problem completely went away!!  I was so surprised and appreciative! Even while I was on Actonel, I read the side effects and nothing was ever mentioned about dry eyes. That is the reason I am writing this review so that others may have some hope that this problem may be caused by Actonel and is reversible once the drug is stopped."


"I have been on Minastrin for over a year now. My very first form of birth control. The first 2 months were tough to get through, with spotting, bloating, mood swings, etc. But, after my body got adjusted to the birth control, everything has been perfect. My periods are lighter and last 4 days. My cramps are still present, but they aren't as bad. I don't have severe acne, or weight gain. Anyone who has a bad experience, I say just give it time before you write it off as a terrible birth control."


"I have been using these about a year or so. I take 300 mg atnight , I never used to sleep or if i didi it was very little, I used to pray for a few hours sleep , since using these I sleep anywhere from 8 hours to as long as I want to , makes me able to handle life a lot better, good luck and take care"


"At first it seemed to help, didn't connect the rash to the medication, then blurred vision, high anxiety, nausea, tightness in my chest & felt extremely ill, like I was going to die or have a heart attack."


"It works well. "


"I took this medication for a year and a half,it worked great for my anger issues but did very little for my depression...It also worked well for my fibromyalgia...The down fall for me was feeling like a zombie 24/7,to the point of not even having energy to clean my house,have a shower daily or even brush my teeth...I just didn't care about anything at all...Not a good way to live "


"I have Kallmans syndrome and have been on this medicine along with Gonal-f and when started taking them I started producing seamen and my body started making its own testosterone. I recommend it to anybody. Awesome medicine."


"I have been on yaz for about a year. I like it and have not had any major problems. I have short, light periods and my acne has decreased. The only bad thing is that it is expensive."


"I found this drug to be very beneficial. I had tried the cough syrup with codeine and promethazine but it made me way too drowsy to function. With this stuff I get a little bit of drowsiness but nothing I can't handle. It's working very well for my cough and I'm even a smoker. I am very impressed by this medication and would certainly recommend it."


"I haven't been taking it long, actually just weening off one antidepressant onto Pristiq and am already feeling better. I've been fighting depression for years with all kinds of anti-depressants. This one gives me hope."


"I've been telling myself that my symptoms arent from my implant but after reading how many other people have the same problems I completely agree that it is my implant causing them. I have been on my implant for 9 months now and I have had the worst bleeding ever. At first it was light spotting and now it's just gotten worse and worse to where I am ALWAYS bleeding. Also, I have had the worst anxiety and I have never had anxiety in my life. I struggle with mood swings and I get so worked up sometimes and can't control my anger. I completely understand these things don't happen to everyone but this has been the worst for me and I plan on getting it out very soon. I think it is also the cause of my dizziness, lightheadedness, and nausea."


"On Saturday April 18 at 11pm I had sex and the condom broke, and that was the only protection I had. I was not on my fertile days. I was so scared, the next day at 10 am I went to buy the Plan B One-step pill. I was so nervous that it wouldn't work. But finally my period came 5 days after I had it! It works! Girls just keep calm, relax and let it work. Thanks a lot Plan B! You literally saved my life!"


"I have had really clear skin up until about a year ago. Everything I tried didn't work and just seemed to make my breakouts more red and angry. Eventually I went to the doctors who prescribed me Doxycyline. I had a course of three months and dramatically seen the difference in just a few weeks and I was given another 3 month course. As my skin was completely clear after the 6 months I've stopped the antibiotics, however I wish I hadn't after approx. a month without taking them I have indeed started to break out again. This prescription is brilliant however it isn't a permanent fix. Maybe I should have gone to the doctors to wean me off and reduce the dose instead of going cold turkey, as now back to square one and back on the drugs!"

"I literally received this shot a few days ago and I can already feel a difference. I was on the pill with no problems but had to stop taking it because of the migraines that I get and the possible risk of taking the pill. My chest is very sore, I'm tired, getting random headaches and sort of down(mood). I'm not as talkative, it's almost like my personality just disappeared overnight. I definitely don't feel like my usual self. I wanted to see some reviews to see how quickly others were feeling side effects and what they are experiencing. It seems like these symptoms have a possibility of going away...not sure how long I want to wait, even though I still have a minimum of three more months."


"I got a tattoo on my lower leg. An area of it that was directly over my shin bone  became an open wound after the skin peeled off.  My derm gave me samples of Biafine and told me to apply it twice daily. I am amazed at the healing after only 3 days of application! The cream soothes the pain and promotes healing rapidly! I think whoever invented it should receive an award as I have never had such a rapid and significant response to a medication.  I highly recommend it.....ask your derm about it. ( P.S.- I am an RN with 35 years of experience.)"


"Yes, it helped my urinary flow but the dry ejaculation and lower sex drive are a deal breaker for me! I'm going back to Flomax or using nothing. I really like sex!"


"Any time that I have pain from over exertion resulting in muscle pain or an infrequent headache my go to medicine is Anacin. For me it works FAR better than Advil, Aleve, Tylenol or Aspirin. This week I had pain from running and had no relief from other products but once I found Anacin I had relief within 1 hour and the relief has lasted. Once, when I had minor surgery the Anacin worked much better than Tylenol 3 that was prescribed for me. I have no idea why Anacin works better for me but it always has."


"I have had an outer ear infection that was well advanced by the time I started taking clarithromycin the pain I experienced up until I started taking the antibiotics was searing. My doctor gave me a course clarithromycin 250 mg to be taken for one week, two tablets twice a day (4 tablets a day) I took the first two tabs together in the morning of the first day and then separated the next two  by the next morning the pain had reduced enough to the point that I didn't need to take pain relief medication. By lunch time I felt considerably better and now as I txt my review I would have to say that the pain has gone from extreme when I first started taking the medication to a mild sensation in my ear on day two. It has worked well and quick."


"I have had the same experiences as many others - chronic pain.  I have tried all prescription pain relief which has led to dependency. This  has been helped by methadone.  However, it surprises me that this page reads like an endorsement for the drug... methadone IS still a drug and a highly addictive one, at that.  I have read people saying 100 mgs/day and 10 years of use. Methadone can be effective but, it is not an ideal substitution for other drugs, There is a bad stigma attached because it CAN be dangerous. I hope that no one chooses to self- medicate after reading these comments and I most definitely don't want kids to get the impression that it is safe to take in such high dosages or at all without a prescribing physician. Good luck to everyone."


"I am a 20 year old college student and Nuvaring is the first hormonal birth control I've tried. It's now the second month I've been using the ring and I am feeling great with no side effects! If you are trying Nuvaring for the first time, there will be a lot of breakthrough bleeding the first month until your body adjusts to the hormones. After the first month the bleeding stopped and everything's back to normal. I recommend this birth control for extremely busy women who want convenience and simplicity, and Nuvaring has both. This is great birth control, I would encourage any woman to try it!"


"Tried taking one dose (200 mg) before bed last night. Not only did my symptoms (rasping cough while laying down to sleep) not improve, but I felt myself getting dizzy and disoriented and had a hard time sleeping. On top of all that, I called my baby's pediatrician and she says it is not safe for nursing moms to give to their babies, as it is a level 3 drug. Bottom line, I wouldn't recommend this for nursing moms at all and frankly its effectiveness does not outweigh its downsides."


"This med was given as a result of a deep gouge from a dog nail. Healing was not occurring after 4 weeks including a trip to a ambulatory care. My doc said they treated it incorrectly. He prescribed this. I have an appointment at the wound center Tues.  Dr also said it needed debriding. After 5 days I see no improvement. If anything the area is more red and sore."


"Update: started this medication June
Reached goal Nov. I have continued to lose another 8 lbs. I have cut the dose to 2.4  to find a maintenance dose. I see this medication as a major tool in my weight loss arsenal forever! My fear is my insurance coverage will not renew after the one year they approved."


"I am an industrial electrician. I work rotating 12 hours. After enough time my body got used to it and I was able to make it through the nights and not feel awful. Then I heard a commercial for Nuvigil. So I figured I would give it a try. This is not a miracle. This won't give you special powers and a super intelligence. What it has allowed me to do was still be able to think when I couldn't before. At 3 in the morning when a problem presents itself I need to be able to think through it. I don't feel an energy rush like with a cup of coffee. I feel like a normal person again. I'm able to not feel lethargic every single minute I'm awake."


"Worked well to reduce pain from Mastoiditis. Slight nausea."


"This is the first anxiety medicine I have ever been on, and it is by far the worst experience ever. My moods are anxious, depressed, and irritable. At first, I thought I was just overwhelmed with school and work, after reading some other reviews, I realized it's the Buspar doing it to me. If I take one due to an anxiety attack, about an hour later I am crying and talking about how much I hate myself, then about 30 minutes after that stops, I get extremely irritable and everything makes me mad. I've quit taking it until my follow up appointment and I can get it changed. I will never try this again."


"So my first experience was just on the cosmetic side and it helped with my migraines beautifully! My forehead looked amazing, and my migraines had been reduced. However I still felt the onset of them in my neck and shoulders. So upon talking to my neurologist, he said since I benefitted from the cosmetic one, I should try the actual one for migraines. Its been four days and I'm so sore and like other people have said AVOID getting the neck injections!!! I can hardly hold my head up and I wake with neck and shoulder pain. I'm bruised on my shoulders and it's swollen. Now I'm just in overall pain. The neck weakness is horrible it's weird to think holding your head up is hard."


"Dizzy. Nauseous. Vomiting. Told me I had vertigo. Stopped taking drug and within days I feel better. Avoid avoid avoid."


"I was diagnosed with RLS at the age of 23, I am now 51.  I have tried all the drugs to avoid the symptoms of RLS.  All have had some form of side effects including compulsive behaviors.  I decided to try the patch and found it made me extremely sleepy during the day.  As time went on I must have gotten use to the drug and no longer feel as sleepy as before.  I wear the patch on my hip and rotate application from one side to the other to avoid itching.  I love the patch and have had no difficulty keeping it on.  I recently went scuba diving and the patch remained in place.  I have been applying the patch for over a year now and all works great!"


"I started taking microgestin the end of March and by the 3rd week I had been crying, MOODY, and had uncontrollable actions.  This pill needs to be wiped off planet earth.  I cut all my hair off during one of my uncontrollable incidents, took off all my clothes in front of my partners family,  and had to go to a behavioral unit to calm me down. I was tested and nothing else was in my system but bc. Im off bc thank God but that experience isn't worth not having a baby... I'll stick to condoms!"


"I started this drug back in the summer-ish of 2016. I was given 30 mg, which, let me say, was [at the time] The Holy Grail. I lost a bunch of weight, because it had helped me feel good enough to stop emotionally eating. Started on 60 mg, and it felt like a placebo. I accidentally stopped taking it for about 5 days and experienced physical withdrawals which I wasn't warned about until I googled. I'm currently weening myself off of it, because I refuse to be a slave to this or any other drug."


"I have been on Yaz for 3 years now and it really helped with a lot of things. My mild acne cleared up and I have beautiful skin, and before Yaz I had very irregular periods that would last for 2 weeks at a time. Yaz controlled my period and I only have it for about 3-4 days and it is very light. I do get moody while taking the white pills (last 4 pills) and I hate everything, but I've always been like that and it only lasts a few days. It has helped a great deal in preventing pregnancy, since I don't always use condoms. I would definitely recommend this pill."


"I have found that Dextroamphetamine ER cap (AKA Dexedrine spansules) are best for treating my ADHD.  I have tried Ritalin and Adderall and both came with bad side effects.  Ritalin made me a zombie and Adderall had sexual and hyper-tension side effects.  The switch to Dextroamphetamine has increased my focus, alleviated my ADHD symptoms, and also increased my sex drive.  I had to take 10mg x 4 Adderall but find that 10mg x 2 Dexedrine ER works for me.  So I was able to decrease my intake of amphetamine while switching to Dexedrine.  After 1/2 year, I have found no negative side effects whatsoever."


"My daughter is 8 with ADHD and this medicine did not work for us. She became head strong, was bullying and was always upset. It did not work for us but every child is different. Goodluck."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I kept the medication in the refrigerator and mixed with cold water. I used the straw method and put it as far to the back of my mouth as possible  and kept the tip of my tongue pressed against my lower teeth so the taste wasn't so bad. It's a grape medicine taste initially followed by a salt water after fast which is the worst part."


"I'm so glad I came across these reviews! I have been taking Yaz for 4 months now and am severely depressed, gained 5 pounds, and have no sex drive. My poor husband. I'm calling my Doctor tomorrow! I do have to say it made my period so light and was very regular!"


"For the past 3 days I have been getting Promethazine by IV, this medication is the only one that works for me for nausea. I am having treatment for my Migraine called DHE given by IV. Promethazine works so good for the nausea. It does not make me sleepy and I have to be given it really diluted, I have small veins and it is very sore given by IV. I normally have a PICC line in and I have never felt this soreness before, and tonight I know the line is failing and tomorrow I will have to have yet another line placed. "


"I have temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. My oral surgeon prescribed naproxen for jaw pain and I discovered  only 4 days of taking this medicine, I found great relief in my arthritis in which I have most everywhere.
I hope to continue to take this medicine."


"I'm a pitcher and have had bursitis on my upper hamstring for months. It finally gave out and caused a lot of pain where I could barely sit down. My doctor gave me Zipsor and it was 90% better in 1 day. My teammates take a lot of things for pain but I got to say Zipsor has been the best to date."


"I just started the patch 2 weeks ago & About 4 days ago I started getting unbearable cramps, that last about 5 minutes, every 20 minutes or so. I have never been in this much pain. I finally took it off & The cramps stopped about an hour later. Not using this ever again."


"I have been in pain for more than 18 years and used to live on Ibuprofen when I wasn't diagnosed. Finally 2 years ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and prescribed Tramadol (Ultram). It was wonderful. I could move so much better than ever before. My pain seemed to be controlled. However, I quickly realised that the medication only lasted for 4 hours every time. Then the pain would creep back stronger than before. "


"I had Liletta inserted around September 20th of this year and have enjoyed it a fair amount. Despite being a petite person with a tilted pelvis, insertion wasn't awful, but was not pleasant by any means. Took about 10 minutes -including set up- and I was on my way! I recommend bringing a painkiller beforehand to take at least 30 minutes before and don't pee before because they may ask you for a urine sample before insertion to prevent any infection from being spread beyond your cervix. I also had friend drive me to and from because my legs ached afterwards, but was fine in two days.
I've spotted for about a month now (annoying), but this is far better than forgetting my pill (SO agrees, lol). I'll probably update again in a couple of months"


"I am 4 weeks in to taking 25mg of Seroquel and I noticed the difference almost straight away.  I can think so much better because my anxiety is reduced enough for me to think in straight lines again.  I am no where near as paranoid and a bit less dissociative too which is all really good.  I was also prescribed Cymbalta for depression but have just ditched that because I was too fearless and suicidal on it.  Whilst Seroquel is not touching my depression, I noticed that after taking it I felt that I gained a degree of self-control back which helped me to start to use basic life skills that I have learnt, which help me to deal with some of the BPD approaches to life's problems.  Seriously, I find Seroquel even at the low dose to be excellent."


"Ive been fighting psoriasis and arthritis since 2004 tried everything out there the only thing that has worked for me is stelera its amazing !!!"


"So I'm here like many of you to sing the praises of this product. I'm 32 5'9" and a good 270. Me and my boyfriend got a bit carried away for our first time together and long story short no protection was used. I was super freaked out as I didn't want to have a baby with a guy I haven't been with six months yet. When I got home and looked at my period tracker I realized that I was smack in the middle of my high fertility time. I got to Walgreen's and took this pill within 12 hours of intercourse (and after a long sleepless night worrying). I didn't have the worst side effects but I did have cramps, nausea, extreme breast tenderness and major bloating and fatigue for a week or so. I'm having a period right now so I'm happy!"


"I went through half a tube of this garbage and it didn't work at all... and I got to be sticky as well... so that was fun."


"I'm 18 years old and was diagnosed with severe PMS/PMDD about two and a half weeks ago. It was a relief to finally have a diagnosis because I had developed progressively worse physical and physiological symptoms in the two weeks before my period. It had started to interfere with my schooling since I'd miss two days per cycle at least (which is a lot for a high school senior with AP classes). I was prescribed Beyaz a month ago and quit after 3 days because I was an emotional wreck. Another week or so went by and my symptoms got worse again. My doctor finally prescribed me with a low dose (25mg) and upped it a few days later to 50mg. It took a few days to take effect (it was a hard time) but now I'm better than I've been in months."


"I have been on Keppra for a year and just started Vimpat 6 wks ago.  The Vimpat seems to have controlled my simple partial seizures however, I have noticed the side effects are troublesome.  Some of the side effects are shakes, depression, anxiety, mood swings, dizziness, but the most troublesome is the effect it has on my memory.  It feels like I can't find my words or I've forgotten information I should know.  I'm 50 years of age and have tried many different types of medication in the past 43 years for seizure control and Vimpat is working however the side effects on memory is affecting my job performance. "


"I got nexplanon inserted on May 15, 2015. It was very quick and painless and I had very little bruising. My first period starte on June 8th and ended 10 days after that. It was longer than expected but it very light so it was bareable. I haven't had my period since. My boyfriend and I use a condom anyway because you I'm not to trusting with it yet, you know  no  birth control is 100%. But, I've heard nothing but awesome reviews about the effectiveness. I was on the pill for 2 years and I had bad side effects like weight gain and brown spots on my chest. Now that I'm on nexplanon I have lost all the weight that I've gained and more, I don't have to take the pill,my period is very light and haven't had one since but we will see. I love it!"


"I had to use the morning after pill on day 9 of my cycle after my partner lost the condom in me just after he came. I took it approximately 8 hours after. I had spotting for about three days a week after I took it, and skipped my following period (took a pregnancy test- negative). I got my second period on time. It definitely affected my mood and my skin, especially in the second month it made my acne much worse and made me irritable and emotional, maybe due to the build up of hormones since I didn't get my period for about 54 days. It definitely but my mind at ease about pregnancy though!"


"This birth control has made me bleed everyday since I had it put in 2 years ago.  It feels while on this implant I have gained weight, gotten facial acne, my sex drive is low and suffering from episodes of depression.  I am much more tired due to getting stressed out much easier but it's better than being pregnant. I don't know if I'll use this again."


"My Prolactin level was 75 and after less than 5 weeks, my Prolactin went down to normal.

The side-effects were extreme the first 2-3 weeks (burning headaches, nausea, depression). At this point (6 weeks in), I mostly suffer the side-effects when I haven't slept enough.

I hadn't had my period since December 2015 and got my first real period a week ago.

I'm not sure if my 4mm benign tumor has shrunk yet, but at least I know that the medicine is working.

When taking this drug I've found that that it is really important to sleep well, eat healthy and exercise frequently, to eliminate side-effects. I'd absolutely recommend it!"


"Started taking 5 mg a few months ago and only when about to have sex. For me this dose takes about 2 hours to hit and lasts a day or 2, although less and less. Then I tried 10mg .. same results but even better results. (more like crazy amazing). Even at 80% mental operating failure before Cialis, the drug as fixed me completely. So unbelievable for words. Please try it for yourself. The only reason that I was able to get here is from the posts before me that encouraged me .. thank you thank you ... hugs and kisses :))"


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I recently switched to Beyaz and since then I've had awful breakouts on my face. I never got pimples before when I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen.  I'm switching back."


"I've been on and off of medication for years for IBS and this has kept me from having a major attack in over a year now!"


"The writing on the package is so small. I do not know how many to take for the 12 hour cold and sinus. The product is good. Knowing how to take it is horrendous at best."


"I have tried many brands of Naproxen.  It has never relieved even the mildest of my pain.  I had no inflammation relief either."


"I've had my Mirena for a year and 8 months. I'm a 40 yr old with 2 children. Yes it is very effective for birth control, BUT I have had unexpected weight gain of 40-50 pounds! I am so depressed because of it, because the only difference in my life is the Mirena. I also wake up with low back pain occasionally, and I did have spotting for several months the first year pretty much every week for many months. I cannot explain this weight gain, I am ready for removal. Also I have developed Bacterial Vaginosis at Least once from the Mirena. And I was not sexually active at the time and I'm in a monogomus relationship, so yeah..it sucks..."


"I had this inserted at my 6 week check up on 9/18/17. I am 20 with one baby. I have a tilted uterus as well. I took two Advil about an hour before my appointment. I only felt slight cramping a few times during insertion. It didn't hurt, it was just uncomfortable. I have had period cramps that were worse and after giving birth, it was nothing. I had light spotting for the first couple of days after insertion. I just started to bleed very very lightly today with very mild cramping so I'm waiting to see if it is my period. My strings need trimmed back more due to hurting my boyfriend during sex. Overall I love it though."


"I got Nexplanon inserted approx. Dec 16, 14. And it's June 4, 15. Insertion wasn't bad, I was sore and had some bruising after.  My first 2 weeks I didn't spot or anything. Since it's been spotting and light cramps, until recently now I also have ruthless cramps and periods. No acne, I've lost weight, I've always gotten  headaches. So the only complaint is the cramping making me miserable, it's effectiveness and the type of birth control it is good enough reason for me to leave it be."


"Had a condom mishap Friday, took the pill Saturday and it is now Thursday (5 days later) and my period is beginning to start. However you may experience vomiting, headaches, & light nausea but it's worth it ladies it works!"


"My acne isn't cystic it's literally just little pimples, but whatever kind of acne you have is still annoying and makes you feel disgusted with your face. So this time round (this is my second acne nightmaremy doctor has given me Epiduo. On the first week I saw a huge difference - most of the pimples had gone or reduced in size. However my skin went horrifically dry and I struggled to wear makeup because my skin would literally just flake off. My skin would also get an awful burning sensation but I found applying moisturiser before applying Epiduo helps stop it burning as bad. On roughly the third/fourth week my acne got a lot worse and my skin a lot drier, but that soon passed and my skin is now looking better than ever!"


"I've been taking Minastrin for years. I have never experienced any side effects that I'm aware of, my periods are very regular, and my cramps are much lighter."


"It has given me great relief."


"I've been taking Yaz for almost 10 months now.  I wanted to go on it for a number of reasons including acne.  I started breaking out all the time in my last year of high school and it was horrible. I never wanted to leave my house.
So I tried it and for the first couple of months I noticed my acne getting even worse! I guess it was just my body getting used to the hormones.  It took some time but starting at about 6 months, I saw a huge difference in my acne. I almost never get a pimple now!  And if I do it's around my period and they are much easier to make go away than before.  It definitely was a lifesaver, if you have acne I'd suggest it for sure."


"I've had severe morning sickness with both of my pregnancies. No other medication worked. I've been off work for a week, unable to get out of bed. After only two days on this drug I can finally start living again."


"I had been on Avinza then insurance change it to generic the about 8 months ago the option was Embeda. Wow what a change took 2 months to adjust now the pain level is tolerable just wack out of my head, no energy just don't want to do anything but lay around.
The main problem is interaction its just no compatible with alot of medications including toradol, allergy medication. I would normally take some 10-325 hydrocodones but the combination is terrible, and where I live smoking weed is legal and it interact's which tell me this product needs to go it the worst med's I have had.
I getting off it for good its not a good medication and long term I hate to think what its doing to me."


"Campral has saved my life! I tried rehab and AA and was drinking again right away. The cravings controlled me and I felt panicked if I did not have money for my vodka everyday. I remembered a nurse in detox telling me about Campril. I was in The Orchid Recovery Center for women in Florida. I remember I was leaving recovery and I was nervous I would drink at the airport on the way home and I requested Campril, the Orchid said no that's a cop out do it on your own. Well screw them because I went back to drinking. Honestly rehabs would go out of business because Campral works! It started working on the first pill I swallowed! Cravings are gone I feel like me again! I drank everyday before! Now I don't miss it, want it! 8 days in no drinks! :)"


"I got a prescription for trinessa about  5 months ago, mostly just to help with my acne, and so far so good. My breakouts last a shorter amount of time and are smaller in size. My period has also gotten shorter and lighter and I hardly get cramps at all. The only drawback is that in the first 2-3 months or so I would get dizzy, slight headaches, and a little more fatigued than usual. Other than that this pill works great. My acne hasn't completely gone away, but it does help."


"I have night terrors and after this medication was prescribed I rarely EVER have night terrors anymore."


"I'am 40 years old, and I have been suffering from chronic migraine since the age of 9  no medication has worked like Imitrex or sumatropan.  I take the pill when I have migraine pain, and literally it takes about 35 to 40 minutes and WALLA! migraine GONE! YES

                                    THANKS science...."


"I was on this for endometriosis after 3 surgeries, went off last week to try for a baby, on the plus side it worked for me no pain at all (had pain everyday not just that time of the month before it),no bleeding/ periods. on the negative side now have cystic acne and have spent $100 with my derm. trying to get rid of it, hopefully it will clear now. I did gain about 30 lbs over 5 years but not 100% sure it was the pill, but not a big deal for me was under weight before it. Everyone is different but it worked for me, w/o it I would have had a hysterectomy at 23."


"I just got my second dose of Femring. So far I have not had any problems or issue. I like it because it keep me from getting dry and my estrogen level up."


"I am currently taking 300 MG of Clindamycin 3 times daily with food. I take it every 5 hours. I am on day 5 out of 10 and currently have not experienced any side effects at all. However, I am also taking a great probiotic twice daily with food as well, away from the Clindamycin. I take the first probiotic in between dose 1 and 2, and the second between dose 2 and 3. From other reviews, I highly recommend a good probiotic. As well as a post probiotic to get your body's flora back up. I am taking Clindamycin for an oral viral/bacterial infection I've had going on for months. So far I have already seen improvement and I am only halfway through my dose.  Also, be sure to always take it with food and drink plenty of water."


"I started on a very low dose, like 2.5 or 5 mg, then 10mg, then 25 and now I'm on 50. I started seeing a definite decrease in my migraines at 25mg so my doctor doubled my dose, but nothing new after 3 weeks at 50mg. It's nice that this is an anti-depressant too, I feel happier since I've been on it. Haven't noticed any weight gain and I hope I don't ever. Anyway it seems to just block my usual triggers, they just don't bother me as much as they used to. I still get migraines once or twice a week, worse with heavy stress, but I have been amazed at how I can go out into the sunlight or exercise without immediately getting a migraine. Amazing."


"After taking Norvasc 10mg for 3 months I found my feet ankles and hands were swelling up, also gained weight even though I walk every day. My Doctor has put me on Avapro and I will monitor it for the next 3 months. "


"I originally was prescribed this med for migraine headaches. Then I was diagnosed with Severe Fibromyalgia, which sometimes causes me nausea. The med works very quickly and very well for me. I usually only have to take one pill and the nausea is gone within a few minutes."


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


"Great product.  I've had cold sores since I was a kid (40+ years).  I carry this product with me all the time.    Usually get a cold sore two / three times a year but when I do, I'm ready.  Real important, the moment you feel the tingle apply the med.  Usually heals the sore in 3-4 days, but better than the normal 8-10 days.  Earlier comment stated, do not squeeze the tube, that is correct.  Even a slight squeeze you will waist alot.   I usually store it (tube) in the prescription bottle that it comes in."


"I got this medication after a hysterectomy. It worked very well on my pain. I would recommend this if you are in severe pain. It works."


"This medicine caused severe lower pain in the back.  Felt like kidney stones."


"I found out in 2010 I was infected with HIV after my partner also tested tested positive. Whilst he went the route of a government program, I went to a private doctor and used my insurance from work (government plan). I was given Atripla. The first weeks were horrible. I experienced severe shortness of breath and could barely sleep. I had to sleep (at least try) sideways with the AC directly to my face. The dizziness was crazy, as if I had drank alcohol all night. My face would get red and I would feel hot. Regarding the strange dreams, well, I always had vivid dreams and nightmares all of my life, so it wasn't new. Other than that, I'm still using Atripla daily at bedtime and became undetectable within 6 months from stating."


"Not a miracle but better than anything else I've tried.  I plan on asking for the extended release .  I have Arachnoiditis because of a nerve block."


"Lyrica stops the pain in the ball of my feet. It's wonderful to be able to walk without the pain. I am diabetic and take insulin. I too have had a weight gain of 35 lbs over the past 6 months. I seem to suffer from a bit more memory loss than before and I fatigue easily. I have caught myself dozing off in front of the computer at work, so I force myself to get up and walk around a bit. All in all a small price to pay for the relief of the pain in my feet."


"Just switched from nexplanon to Vienva and was on sprintec before nexplannon. Nexplannon I only suggest if you have always had very light periods and get ready for maybe a period that's spotty for an entire month. And then going with out a period for a while be then it come back again. Vienva has made me nauseous for 10 minutes and that's it. No mood swings no headaches everything is great. I know I've mentioned 3 birth controls. Now sprintec I don't recommend if you can be a sensitive person because I cried about anything. Periods were fine, cramping a little bit but the crying was over the top for me. That's when I switched to the implant that goes in your arm. Never had an issue until the  3rd year when it comes out. I had a period 3x."


"I started tanzeum in apr 2016. It has brought my numbers down somwehat but not nearly what it needs to be. I will find out in aug for sure if its really working. I usually have an upset stomach and loose stools 1-2 days after ive taken it. When i first started, i felt full pretty quick after i ate but thats kind of gone away. The jury for me is still out, not sure if this is the medication for me."


"I had a bad heroin problem for 3 years, and I finally went to a methadone clinic. I'm not sure if it was the clinic or the drug, but I was now addicted to methadone. I wanted it every day, I took big doses and I stayed high the whole time, then I was addicted to methadone for a year! It is painful to detox off of methadone, worse then my heroin withdrawals. I went to in patient rehab and they gave me Suboxone, oh my goodness. Immediately my withdrawals subsided, they were gone, and I had no urge to do any drugs, I was on that for 30 days, and I got out, and now I am sober and never touched anything since. It's a miracle drug to me, and it worked for me. I'm so thankful. "


"I have ADD (Not hyperactive though) I was started on 18mg for a month, then 40mg for a month, now 60mg. I have anxiety & am also on valdoxane. I think the reason some people may become Ill on the straterra is because they are starting on too high a dosage & also not staying on the dosage long enough before upping it (a month seems perfect). I have felt ill for 5min a few days after upping dose but nothing 2 bad. Also taking it in morning means u won't stay up at night. I think it shouldn't be taken in the evenings. It helps my memory, concentration & cognitive abilities. Also lessens my physical anxiety symptoms greatly (after the firstfw days of raised anxiety when I first started it) & it actually takes away my constant fatigue"


"I was super scared to get this into my arm because I heard bad and good things about it. It affects everyone differently. I hated taking the pill. I would always forget or my pharmacy wouldn't have it on time and I was tired of fighting with them, so I just got the bar. I got my period for 3 days and ever since I haven't gotten it! It's been almost 3 months now and I still do not bleed or get cramps. I go about my days and I love it. Everyone reacts differently but I have no negative things to say about it!"


"At first I took Cymbalta and it really helped me for awhile.  I then tried the Savella, I have so much more energy. I don't lie around on the couch all day. I still have to take it easy and I do have my bad days because I have Sjorgrens also but it has improved my pain and my stamina.  I can even plan ahead a little bit."


"2 weeks is working very good for me no complaints.
Medication has changed my life "FINALLY SOMETHING THAT'S WORKING""


"If you have any sort of history of hair loss in your family, do NOT get this birth control. It's high in androgenic activity, which in turn can cause hair follicles to shrink and lead to hair loss. I have VERY thick hair, and I had been on Nexplanon until a little over a week ago when I got it removed. I had for it a little over a year, but the hair loss was so gradual, I didn't notice it until recently after taking a shower and realizing that my scalp was a LOT more visible than it normally is. Now, I'm consulting with my GP and a dermatologist to get my iron and hormone levels checked to make sure there's not any lasting damage. I'm also taking a hair/nail supplement, but I'm told hair regrowth takes a year at least."


"I recently went on Trinessa after being off of birth control for several years. I explained to my doctor that when I took BC pills in the past I always had taken the low dose OrthTricyclen. He prescribed me the normal dose of Trinesaa anyways. Needless to say, I will never take these pills again. I was given a 90 day supply, and the first few days of taking it I was constantly nauseous. Then after about a month I noticed a five pound weight gain (I am a soldier in the US military so I work out five days a week and nothing else could have caused this) which, by the time the prescription had ran out had ballooned up to almost fifteen pounds! After roughly a month I started having horrible mood swings. Never again will I feed myself hormones."


"I am 42 yrs old. I started having migraines at age 36 so 6 yrs now. About 2 to 3 a week. These migraines changed my life completely for the worst! Sometimes they were so bad I would have rather died!  All of a sudden I couldn't work. I quit my job at age 36. Spent 1.5 yrs trying 7 or 8 different medicines and other remedies to get rid of or control my migraines and nothing worked  for me until I tried 100mg sumatriptan.  To keep my point short, 100mg sumatriptan has been a miracle drug for me. I just have to make sure I take it immediately when I feel a migraine coming and take it with food - timing is everything with this drug! Take too early it wont work and too late then it will take longer to work."


"Within six hours of receiving the injections the side effects began to take control over my body. Every side effect mention I had it, including the migraine headaches. The medications should wear off by the next three weeks. To date, I am still feeling the side effects. I would not recommend Botox for two reasons, 1. The medication does not freeze the nerve as stated. 2. It is extremely expensive.  The pharmaceutical company should be sueded!!!!!!!!!"


"Within a week of taking Armour Thyroid my periods returned (they were gone 2 yrs on T4 only), my energy levels returned (I could barely walk or do any housework on T4 only), I can think clearly now (was in a state of confusion on T4) depression is gone completely (I was in a depressive state on T4 only and refused antidepressants because I knew it was not depression because of my life). I am out of the bedroom and functioning again. "


"Ativan has been SO SO helpful for anxiety and panic attacks.   It can be addicting so I try and only take it when I really need to;  not more than a couple times a week.  But it definitely has helped me and I would recommend it to those with bad anxiety."


"I am on week 6 of Contrave and have lost 14 pounds. I love this medicine because it takes the craving for food away, and I don't stress eat. I feel that my overall activity level has increased and I do not feel fatigued all the time. I drink a lot of water through the day and am eating a healthier diet. My exercise level is moderate. I can only tolerate 2 pills daily, when I increase to 3-4 tabs daily I get severe nausea and vomiting."


"I am on Onglyza and Metformin. I have much confidence in the Onglyza. I ran out of the drug for a week, and my sugar went sky high. My insurance may not cover Onglyza now and I am saddened by that. I trust this drug to keep my sugar in check."


"I have had this birth control going on 9 years now!!! Started in 2007 and hey no babies!! Some side effects nothing to concerning you. My periods can last what seems like forever but they are very light. I get the luxury of only having to use panty liners and light tampons!! Hasn't effected my sex drive at some points it seemed like it but nope having more sex then before I got it in "


"It works better than Vicodin for my lower back pain. It takes about 45 minutes to kick in."


"Originally, I was pretty scared to get this because of all the bad side effects I read about, but I decided to give it a try. I got my first shot in July 2015, and I had some bleeding/spotting for about 3 weeks, but I haven't had my period since then. I have had some very minor side effects, some I am not even sure are because of the shot or could be completely unrelated. I have gotten a little more emotional, and it does make me more hungry than usual. But I have been careful to not let this change the way I eat, and I have gained less than 5 pounds overall. But other than that, I don't have to worry about getting pregnant and I only have to get a shot once every three months. I personally have had a great experience with it."


"I went to the ER last night after a week of little BM. the doctor gives you the 10oz and bottle and told me to drink it when I get home, and stay near the toilet. I got home drank it was about 1130 at night so I stayed up till 1:00, eventually I got tired and went to sleep. I woke up at 6:00 with such urge to go. it's 9:00 am right now and i'm on my 4th BM already. it works good just make sure to stay hydrated."


"Was for  5 yrs,  increased to 10yrs, I'm in year 7. Had 3 lumpectomies within 3 month span, had chemo, radiation, plus 1 year of Herceptin for Ductal carcinoma in situ T2 HER2+ I am alive and plan on staying that way. After much research and talking to doctors, the conclusion is that Chemo and Tamoxifen seem to have precipitated other chronic illnesses, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, OsteoArthirtis, Osteopenia, Clinical depression, Gastroenteritis, worsened IBS and PTSD. My legs, lower back & fingers are usually swollen and usually in pain. I wanted  off the Tamoxifen, due to the weakness in my legs & Fatigue. No other was as effective in inhibiting estrogen. I still lose my hair, gained 130lbs, I'm in a wheelchair. I'm alive. 3 yrs to go"


"This is one of the most under rated drugs for depression.  I found it myself and every time I mention it to a new doctor, they have never heard of it.  I am afraid they will someday stop making it, which would be a tragedy. It saved my life--multiple times--when NOTHING else worked.  I'd had every SSRI in the book thrown at me (because, OF COURSE if one doesn't work, SURELY another of the same type will).  No weight gain--actual loss. Pulls me out of suicidal despair within a few hours. I still have a bottle for emergencies.  For me, however, as a longterm treatment, it would start making me apathetic--not lethargic, just kind of nonchalant. After 3 days on it, I would want to quit my job. Fast acting, low side effects, mildly energizing."


"I started using Liraglutide some time in September 2011 and so far I have lost around 12lbs! I had some major nausea issues at first though. However, since I went up to '50 clicks' the nausea seems to have subsided! I feel fuller for longer, aren't eating half as much as I used to and I am not constantly thinking about eating neither! I actually feel very good already and it's making me really happy noticing little changes to my body that have come with losing 12lbs! I hope the weight loss continues. It's fabulous."


"I had not not gone to the bathroom for two weeks after trying every natural remedy, stool softener, enema, and suppository.   I ended up in the ER and they told me to drink a bottle of this; however, they did not tell me that the medicine liquefies your stool.  Be near a bathroom when you take it!  I had no solid stool.

The taste of the product (I had lemon) was very sour.  I didn't have a problem drinking it, but you must drink water immediately after you take it since this medicine uses the liquid from your body to move your bowels.  It took about 2 hours for this product to work for me, but I didn't have any gas or pain--just lots of liquid."


"No sex drive at all. In a bad mood sometimes throughout the day for no apparent reason. Thinking of switching to something else."


"I took Adipex for 8 months and lost about 20 pounds.  I just started taking it again and am down an additional 12 pounds.  I am very thankful for this medication for I feel like it's given me the life I've always dreamed of.

The only side effects I've ever felt are: dry mouth, insomnia and I was depressed when I stopped taking the drug.

My results have outweighed the side effects on all counts.  I strongly recommend this medication to anyone who is interested in losing weight."


"Feel like I have body aches after taking this medication. It seems to keep me awake at night too, which is annoying. Also, I can't tell whether it is working or my body is fighting off my sore throat by itself. My appetite changed too."


"From day one, YES day one, I turned into an irritable, annoyed, aggressive person. I gave it a week, thinking my body was just adjusting. I stayed "raged", we'll call it. Talked to my pharmacist, she recommended that I not keep taking it. I feel much better off of it. Will try something else."


"I was diagnosed with GAD with symptoms including general fatigue, anxiety, panic and insomnia. Started off at 35mg but now on 150mg in morning and 75mg at night which seems to be keeping me pretty stable. However the withdrawal is horrendous. If I miss a couple of doses I get brain zaps, I can hear my eyeballs moving in my head, very anxious and panic. It works but this is some seriously messed up stuff...I can see I may have to be on this forever wheras I gave up prozac cold turkey with no problems at all."


"My husband swears you will poop a paper clip from when you were 3 years old. He wouldn't be surprised if after this miracle drug, you happened to also see a lego in there. You won't be disappointed.It really works"


"For several years, my husband had problems achieving or maintaining an erection.  For a while, he took Viagra, which worked well, but there's no spontaneity (e.g., I can't just unzip and give him the come hither look).  Then, his M.D. suggested Cialis, and whoooeey!  Our sex life is incredible -- even better than it was in the beginning (given, ahem, more experience).  He can take it on Friday, and any time, any place that weekend we can have fabulous sex.  We're also enjoying extended sex again. "


"Worst experience I ever been through, i got my implant a month ago and hopefully getting it out today. Since i got the implant ive been on my period heavy. I would get really bad headaches, mood swings are horrible and no sex drive at all!! When i would have sex im not really in the mood and its so painful, my boyfriend feels so bad that it hurts. I get really bad cramps and im always nauseous and ive been throwing up more than usual.. my anxiety is through the roof.. i was 120 pounds when i got the implant and now im 105.. im trying to gain weight but still losing weight, it does prevent pregnancy really well but the side effects are to much for my body to handle, every woman is different. Im going back to the depo shot hopefully today!!"


"Not a panacea, but big drop in concentration when dose is missed. Extended release, but loses effectiveness by early evening. Supplemented by low-dose methylphenidate before dinner if I need to work late. Taken too late, may affect sleep."


"I was not instructed to take this supplement; however, I am trying to improve my overall health. I suffer from several maladies including chemo induce  peripheral neuropathy in my toes, a congenital bony malformation of the spine (fusion of an extra and a deformed vertabrae - L4 & L5), breast cancer and the resulting Lymphedema, high blood pressure, and more. I started taking this supplement after speaking to a diabetic whose doctor recommended it to her. I was also taking b12 for anemia. I have noticed significant relief in the two weeks that I have been taking it and wish I had been told about it 5 years ago! Good luck to all of you who have this problem. I hope you find what works for you."


"I use it for fatigue. Break the pill in half, that's 100MG, like a good cup of coffee"


"I LOVE Phentermine! I started taking it May 1st 2013 I am 5'5" was at my highest weight, 187lbs. I drank sodas like crazy and ate nothing but greasy foods chips and other junk. My first week on the Phentermine I couldn't eat (which they said was normal but told me to force feed myself) and I drank nothing but gallons of water. I lost 12.5 lbs in just 7 days, Amazing! It is now July 10th 2013 I am 155lbs. Just started my 3rd month and already down 32lbs. It's the best diet pill ever. The only side effect I've had is dry mouth, which is actually a really good thing because it makes you drink tons of water. I have had absolutely NO cravings. It's just plain amazing. Definitely try it if you are struggling with weight loss."


"Changed my life."


"I started taking the pill a little over a month ago and it still makes me feel so nauseous. I bled for a full month and it was heavy some days and light others but the doctor said that was normal. I don't want to stop taking it because I'm getting married in two months so I'm pushing through the horribleness of it and hoping the nausea goes away eventually. Oh and it makes me so moody too!"


"I have been on 10mg a day for only a few days yet I already feel worlds better. I am feeling a lot of side effects such as the occasional headache, a sore throat, some dizziness, and some nausea, but it's all worth it for how much better I feel."


"I am 27 and I have been on Nexplanon since February, so almost 4 months. The first three weeks was really annoying. I had ongoing light bleeding the whole three weeks, but then it just stopped. I have had no spotting and no period since and no side effects that I can say are definitely from nexplanon. I have had some unusual acne, but nothing crazy just an extra pimple here or there - it's probably more odd because I can't tie it to a cycle since I have no period. I have had a couple of headaches, but nothing that wasn't cured from excedrin migraine. All in all - it's effective (not pregnant) and I have no period (awesome!)"


"I was prescribed this antibiotic for Sinusitis. It caused the worst yeast infection and bowel problem I have ever had. A day or two after I took my last dose, I began to have severe diarrhea with blood and/or mucus in it. I also began to have severe stomach cramps/heartburn as well. I went to the doctor thinking it was something more serious and she did a stool test as well as a blood test. Everything is fine, she said that this antibiotic has a reputation for doing this to people. I am on day 8 of this. She says it could last a while and I just have to stay hydrated and wait it out. I hope it goes away soon. I can't even eat without having to go!!! I've lost about 10 pounds in a week!!! I am so sick of this! Stay away from it!!"


"I cannot stand the taste, just took the first prep and threw up a little bit of it.  To me it tastes like someone took a bunch of menthol cough drops and liquified them.  It did start working within 30 minutes though.  I hope I can swallow the next batch without getting sick, it makes me very nauseous to drink."


"My experience of this medicine.. Only made me sleepy..Did not help with anxiety.I take Zoloft 150..Any other suggestions that I can take with Zoloft for anxiety."


"Have taken this every night for years and it is the best allergy medicine I've used."


"Xanax saved my life. After being in a tornado, I started suffering from severe panic attacks and post traumatic stress syndrome. Anything that even just remotely reminded me of my ordeal would set off a terrible panic attack. The Xanax stopped this very well. It also helps my anxiety disorder. It is a true miracle drug. No side effects and it helps me so much."


"I got mine in February the first 3 months were just like my regular period I bleed for 7 instead of 5, now it's July 30,2015 and I've been bleeding since June 24,2015im miserable I can't go to the pool or the beach, or enjoy simple thing with out having to worry about staining my clothes or wearing a pad, it's very frustrating I'm going to talk to my doctor about taking it out"


"I starated taking birth control for the first time back in October. Since I was 23 and had never been on the pill I was expecting the worst. Weight gain, acne, mood swings, no sex drive.... and for the first 2 months of Sprintec, I can say all of that was true. But I just finished month 3 on Sprintec and WOW. My face is a smooth porcelain complexion, I've lost several pounds, my sex drive has been gradually growing week by week, and my mood swings are dissipating. I still get pms-like symptoms the week before my placebos but I had those before the pill so really no complaint there. My depression hasn't improved but it hasn't gotten worse either. I was depressed before the pill so I can't say if Sprintec has affected that any."


"Told my doctor I was not feeling good, blood work showed ALT level not good, but no hep C to be found. Went back with more and more complaints and after 3 test 4 weeks later Hep C showed up. Two weeks later I was in a Hep C study so I did not have to pay for the medication. First 3 day's on Zepatier I was like new, so much energy, after that it went down. Muscle pain, sleepy, headache, skin problems, nerve system problems. The same I was feeling before the treatment, so at this point I don't know if it's working, maybe it's the side effects now !. I'm now in day 21 and my doctor told me I should definitely feel better after 4 weeks, and maybe not !. It's stressful because you don't really have somebody to talk. Keep you posted."


"I was in severe depression. Working with a great psychiatrist who had me on Lamictal and Celexa with no change. He added 2.5mg of Abilify and by the 2nd day, I was myself again. Still feel great with good energy level and ability to cope."


"Awesome. Best medicine I've ever found for depression and anxiety. All my problems are over. I had diarrhea for two days, but then it has been bliss for a month now with ZERO side effects."


"I was actually homebound with post infectious IBS. The pain in my upper abdomen wore me down. I couldn't do anything. This lasted from March of 2014 to March of 2015. I thought I was going to die. Finally a doctor at U of M prescribed nortriptyline 10mg at bedtime. It worked within a few days. My pain was gone. I am now working with a dietician and testing foods to see if there is a trigger to my IBS. But I can have a decent life now!"


"I got this in October because I got my period every two weeks and it was incredibly heavy. I also had horrendous cramps, my lower back literally had physical muscle knots from the cramping.

I must say the installation hurt reeeeeally bad. And then I bled for a day and had the worst cramps of my life, which truly is saying something. Then I was good for about a week, no bleeding, but then it started. I bled for a month and a half straight. It was super light but still annoying as hell. It was like brown mucus stuff.

But now I haven't had my period since and it's been like two months. My skin is clearer and I think it balanced my hormones. I don't have any negative side effects and I'm very happy with this! It was definitely worth it."


"Very helpful for leg cramps caused by my inclusion body myositis."


"I was given two (months) free samples of this medication to regulate my extremely heavy & long (month and a half) cycle. I have only been taking it for 3 days and immediately nausea, headaches, and mood swings have hit me hard! BUT after two days of taking the pill my period stopped. It is chewable and I was afraid of that but it has a really nice minty flavor. Hopefully after about two weeks or so the side effects will subside."


"Hello,

So I have been on Nexplanon for about 2 months now. Everything was fine for about the first month, then everything went to hell.

I gained weight, had acne and my mood severely changed.

My period started about 3 weeks ago, and it was the period from hell!! I would not stop bleeding! I couldn't take it after two weeks so I called my Dr. I was constantly changing my pad. This wasn't "spotting".

My Dr. started me on my birth control pill again. Because of the estrogen, my bleeding stopped in 4 days!

I encourage all girls who can't take the bleeding, acne, and weight gain to talk to their Dr. about starting back on estrogen.

My body is back to normal just after 4 days! Talk to your Dr. ladies, this really helps!!!"


"Overall, this is a great pill. I love that I am not putting nearly as many hormones into my body as other brands. However, there are some side effects that I've experienced.

The first month was miserable for me. I had terrible mood swings as my body adjusted to the hormones. However, after the first month my mood and acne regulated. Like many other people who reviewed here, I did experience periods (almost constant) every other week for the first 4 months on the pill, but my cramps were nonexistent. With each month my period lightened and I haven't had a period (minus spotting) for 2 months now.

Overall, this pill is great, but if you like a regular period to reassure yourself, try a different pill. My advice- wait it out!"


"Barely takes the edge off pain. Usually have to take 2 and a Soma to help. I also have Crohns and COPD. I've tried many meds but due to all medical problems, nothing I'm allowed to take works. Used to have an extremely high tolerance for pain but with chronic pain from so many medical issues its worn me down. Just want to be pain free one day. Seriously, just one day."


Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection

"I was diagnosed with MRSA in the hospital. The infectious disease doctor said I was lucky that it responded to Zyvox. It's a much better and easier alternative to IVs for a month. The medicine did make me feel nauseous. It was however very effective."


"I've suffered from generalized anxiety since I was a child, but only recently decided to do something about it. After having annoying side effects with Zoloft, I switched to Paxil. The first week really brought out my anxiety symptoms, and I wasn't able to get a good night's rest for well over a month, but it's really developed into a miracle drug for me. My only side effect is occasional chattering teeth, but it's a small price to pay for feeling great. My only regret is not trying this years ago."


"I've been using this patch for 2 weeks and I feel exhausted. I keep sleeping and I still feel sleepy,  I do not have drive for doing regular activities and all started since I used this product. My breast are tender but look bigger which I don't mind at all. I feel very moody as well for no reason. I was hesitant about this patch brand because I did not have the knowledge, used other brand before and love the patches as birth control methods.  My insurance covered all the cost, pharmacy told me the out of pocket cost is $106 which is not bad for me, I think is worth it."


"Injection burns like fire!!  But the results are incredible.  After 3 treatments almost all areas are cleared.  Legs were raw and would bleed daily over most of lower leg. Now only slight redness still exist.  This has been a miracle drug so far. Had previously used Stellara and Otezla, without much results."


"I've had HSV1 since birth. My whole life suffering from terrible outbreaks. My entire mouth, tounge and cheeks covered it giant cold sores. I would get about 3 single outbreaks a year and every 2 years or so have an out break of at least 5 cold sores at once. High school was hell, I was always trying to make up excuses like " an allergic reaction" or "I fell down" to avoid the accusations of "girl with herpes" finally when I was 18, it was a week before Halloween, and of course giant outbreak!! Finally I went to the doctor and she told me about Valtrex, I had seen it on TV and thought "I don't have genital herpes" and was almost embarrassed to be prescribed it, I took the Drs advice and literally within a couple days it was gone. It works!!"


"Hello, I got the implant inserted  June 2015 so far its good. Though I do get irregular bleeding throughout the month I'm okay with it. The first two months on the implant I notice that I was breaking out more than usual , I was very tired and also had a very huge appetite and cravings for seafood. I did also began to feel very nauseous and even have a loss of appetite sometimes , after the the 3rd month of the implant the break outs have went away and I have put on a few pounds but more in my thigh and gluteal region. I'm okay with the weight gain cause I can use extra pounds.  I also notice a change in my hair it is more thicker than what it already is and also grows at a faster rate. So far I have been fine with the implant."


"I've had implanon 6 yrs.  Well in April I just got my second one. Every three yrs time to change. Am 29 yrs old used to weigh 115 at most . now am 126 and seem like am getting bigger. My sex drive is so bad. I don't never want to have sex. I feel so bloated. I got to get this removed ASAP."


"I just started using this medicine, and I'm so happy. I'm a 23 year old Black lady and I can't tell you how much this has changed my life. In social and religious settings. It brings me to tears to think of all the years I didn't use this. I unlike most of you still wore colored shirts. But I would have to deal with comments and stares. I recommend this medicine for anyone. Like everyone else I had the burning and itching, but when you've been living with this horrible self esteem buster who cares. I'm so happy for all my fellow "sweaters" who found this product."


"I battle depression, anxiety & severe insomnia also allergies. Knocked me out cold & my allergies seemed under control anxiety a little better. Problem I couldn't shake being extremely tired the next day. All I could do was sleep which doesn't help with depression."


"I had the nexplanon for 2 years. The first year was wonderful, never got my period and everything seemed great. The second year things started to take a turn. I started to experience extreme mood swings, fatigue, depression, acne and those are just a few things. My period came back it stayed with me on and off and sometimes even stayed for a whole month. I've also gained about 20 pounds since on it. Let's  just say it's made me extremely emotional and made me think I'm a nut case. I actually just got mine removed today and hoping to regain my sanity back."


"Pretty good so far. On month three. First month, I was very emotional and felt sick. Second and Third feel completely fine. Periods are short for me (I have always had 3 day periods) and not heavy. Still not pregnant so thats great. Skin is fine, do get 2 or 3 zits but very tiny. No weight gain either."


"So today is my first day taking Lexapro, my psychiatrist instructed me to take half of a 10mg daily.  I took the dose today at 4 pm and already I feel different.  I bursted into laughter and caught myself laughing at the silliest thing, but I feel so much better.  I felt light-headed for the first 15 minutes, now I feel okay. I just hope this medicine helps me like it has helped others. I can't say I recommend it yet because its my first day. However I do see a very slight difference in myself. I rated a 7 because anything that makes me laugh instantly more than likely is a pretty good medicine."


"I have been taking phentermine 37.5mg once a day for the past 37 days. My obgyn prescribed it for me to take for 90 days. So far I have lost 16.4 pounds. My highest weight was 222lbs which is a lot for my 5' 3" frame. My goal weight is to be at 140lbs. This has really helped jumped start my diet. I had little motivation to lose weight because I felt like it was so much! I couldn't believe how much I had put on through the years. I was constantly starting a diet and trying to eat right but not working out and getting frustrated from the results. I also have PCOS and gained a lot of weight from taking Zoloft for my anxiety. I am counting calories and working out and hopeful to see even more improvement with my remaining 53 days on the medicine."


"I took Ella when having protected sex, but the condom broke. I took it the day after. The next day I did not sleep (my mind was running wild), I had hot flashes and I felt nausea. The next day I felt dead tired and I could not properly function at work. The third day, the same story; not being able to concentrate, hot flashes, emotional changes etc. And then my period came 4 days early. I say Ella does it's work (you can actually notice it doing its work a couple of hours after you took it), but I am never taking it again (now wanting to use the nuvaring) because of the bad side effects. If you really have a problem it does it's job! Feels more like an abortion pill though."


"Believe the reviews!! I got my first shot last month. How is this legal?? I just have light brown bleeding everyday, hot flashes and night sweats every night. I can't sleep, and I keep having crazy vivid dreams - again every. single. night. I don't take any other medication and I never had crazy vivid dreams like this. Between the night sweats, vivid dreams and being anxious I probably sleep two hours a night and I have a 5 month old son who sleeps all night. I have acne and I have never had acne as a teenager or an adult. I had it slightly at the beginning of my pregnancy but it wasn't like this. I swear every bad side effect I read, I have! This has never happened with any meds before"


"i've only been on this for a day or so now (40 mg twice a day), but i can already tell that it's helping to control my anxiety and delusional thoughts. i've been very tired and everything has a fuzzy/dreamy/dopey feeling, but i'm hoping these side effects subside with time."


"Xanax is one of the best medicines ever made to help depression and anxiety. They shouldn't be so hard to get prescribed though. They are a wonderful medicine that makes you happy even when you have major problems. If everyone took Xanax it would be the happiest country in the world."


"I've suffered from insomnia most of my adult life, tried several meds but usually woke up cranky and zoned out. I was prescribed Trazadone and I am getting my full 8 hours every night. Pleasant dreams with no hangover, I highly recommend this product but of course everyone will react differently, I'm 48 and I'm finally sleeping a full night, I am completely happy with this product"


"Absolutely the best medication for anxiety. I have taken this medicine on and off for over twenty years and it has literally saved my life.  I too wish that people would stop abusing this medicine and that doctors would not fear prescribing it when necessary. It's been prescribed to me with antidepressants of different kinds and allowed me to live a normal life for the most part."


"Update: I was doing completely fine on this rx until yesterday morning. I had a seizure at work and was transported to the hospital Dr stated the contave caused and I needed to discontinue immediately.  Please be safe; most scary experience in my life."


"The Purple Pill really does provide 24 hour heartburn relief!"


"Successful use for 20 years...multiple sclerosis pain. No side effects. Careful monitoring with dr."


"I was given two injections of Elgard before beginning radiation therapy.  Following the
48 radiation treatments, I am still being monitored by my oncologist and urologist.  My last PSA was 0.01.  The side effects of hot flashes, lethargy, and muscle weakness are where I am today, although at my age, 79, I can't complain.  The first of the injections was in April of 2008 and the second in August. Radiation  began in early September 2008 and ended at end of October.

It was determined that I am not a candidate for Androgel as there is a possibility of developing cancer again.   So, as you read from the preceding paragraph, I'm lucky
to have passed my first year without problems."


"I've been on Copaxone since the day I was diagnosed almost 10 years ago.  I too had the choice of which medicine I wanted to take and I chose Copaxone, and I haven't looked back since.  Yes, I've had occasional flare-ups, but nothing major.  I could barely walk when I started and it got me back on my feet and back to work full-time."


"I had a kidney stone operation and it took all the pain away in 2 seconds."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"Used Prepopik for the first time. I must say it worked very well for me. First dose and I was on the commode in less than 45 minutes.  The amount that you need to take is not bad and the taste is tolerable. Before the second dose four hours later I began to fell nauseated which lasted through the second dose making it very hard to drink the additional required amount of clear liquids.  I fought the urge to vomit for about 5 or 6 hours but managed to keep it down.  Overall I was satisfied when my doctor told me my colon was very clean from the prep. I will be a little anxious the next time if I use Prepopik because of the extreme nausea."


"I noticed my husband coughing more than usual for a while now. Dr. mentioned something today about asthma being affected by one of the two eye drops he uses.  Trusopt is one if them.  He doesn't have asthma but does have a lung condition for which he has had a slight cough in the past."


"I had it inserted 2 months ago on my last day of my period. I took 600mg of IBU because reviews suggested it but it didn't help the intense pain of the insertion and the cramps that started immediately.

That's cake compared to what I've been going through. The first 6 weeks was daily spotting and horrible cramps that only taking 4-5 800 ibuprofens per day ( and switch off to 2 extra strength Aspirin to protect my kidneys)will sort of, not really, help. My period came earlier these last two times on no set day yet and the cramps are the WORST I've had since I was a child. It's enough to stop you dead in your tracks.

 I didn't even have period cramps before Skyla so I'm VERY UPSET. MY flow this month is lighter, but I NEVER had issues before"


"I have been taking Loestrin 24 Fe for 2 months now. 1st month I kept forgetting the pill so I would double up - not good I know but there were no bad side effects other than spotting before and after my period. So it made my period seem like it was 2 weeks long. If I didn't forget the pill I would never ran into that problem. I'm almost done with my second pack and so far I've notice my adult acne is clearing and my breast are getting firmer - which is awesome. I've also noticed my demeanor is a lot more calmer. My emotions seem to be in check. I'm not freaking out or crying all the time. I don't feel like I'm going insane or anything. I really like Loestrin 24 Fe and I'm glad I'm taking it."


"I have had acne for 5 years. Tried everything, topicals, antibiotics, not doing anything, diet changes...nothing worked. I was so sad and desperate and felt so ugly all the time. Then I finally gave in and tried Yaz. Almost immediately acne improved. A year later I never breakout anymore! It's so amazing and now I'm so much more happier and confident. And my hyper-pigmentation is finally having a chance to fade out without new ones popping up
I had no side effects at all. This has turned my life around but its still a medicine that may have side effects, but it's worked for me so may work for you as well."


"Lost 44 lbs in 4 months but had to stop because blood sugar and blood pressure got too low."


"Bactrim ds cleared up my infected finger, just like most antibiotics do. The difference is in the side effects. The nausea and diarrhea are worse on this one. But the biggest problem was that my depression which I had under control with medication became worse than ever overnight. I don't know whether it interfered with my antidepressant  (bupropion xl) or just aggravated the symptoms so much that it was uncontrollable. Either way, I spent a week alternating between despair and rage on a hair trigger. I would not try this again."


"I was experiencing terrible lower back pain. I was prescribed Tramadol and I could not believe the difference. It brought me a level of quality life  I have never known.  Just 1 x 50mg in the morning... that's it.  If I run out ..no problem.. pain just returns just like before but no withdrawal even if out for a week or so."


"Nice to finally stay asleep"


"Just started this inhaler, Dr. only put me on it for a week.  Then she will change me to another type with no powder. But I love the way I can breathe now. Its amazing to me, I CAN BREATHE."


"Dilaudid worked wonders for my kidney stones. I had a 8.5mm stone in my right kidney. They gave 2mg of Dilaudid through i.v. in ER and I didn't fill much pain after that."


"I have had the IUD for almost 2 years now. The first year was great. Last month I noticed I'm more moody have bad acne. I still have not lost my baby weight. I actually weigh more. I feel as if I'm pregnant. Have migraines, hip and abdominal pain, heartburn. I have taken test but all come out negative. The other girls who have had the same side effects say that urine test will not read you need a blood test or ultra sound. I am making my appointment and having this removed. "


"I had Mirena put in in January of 2015 and I have an appointment to get it taken out next week. I'm really upset that this didn't work for me. I have always used the pill but after a while I decided to try something new. The insertion was pretty simple and it didn't hurt that much. The cramping was very mild. After a few months I still felt really crampy but I held out hope that it would subside. It never did. I'm a fairly active person; going to the gym at least 4 times per week and I still managed to gain 35 pounds since the insertion. I also would get crippling migraines, mood swings that lead to serious bouts of depression, my sex drive is pretty much nonexistent. Mirena has been extremely effective the side effects were just too much."


"I have taken trazadone for years for sleep.  I gradually went up to 200 mg!!!!

I have tried every sleep medication under the sun,and NOTHING worked.it is non narcotic and NON habit forming.

Great news because  I am a recovering alcoholic.  I stopped taken  it for about 2 years, and now I'm on 50 mg.  I was having terrible "night terrors" for years about  hell and the devil, but when I was in rehab they suggested I take PZISORN more commonly known as " mini press".  It is an old school med for blood pressure, rarely used for that purpose anymore.  A side effect of the min press is that it helps tremendously with the night terrors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ask your dr. about it.  You don't have to have high blood pressure at all to use it"


"Went to the hospital after a few weeks of what I thought was the flu, and was diagnosed with Pneumonia and Sepsis. Fever, chills, night sweats, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, no appetite, severe hydration, blue splotches on my skin. Was given Levaquin and fluids via IV while in the hospital for two days. Also nebulizer treatments and multiple inhalers. Took Levaquin and prednisone for ten days after and started feeling like myself after about 5 days at home. Had some pretty awful diarrhea as a side effect of the Levaquin for a couple of days but nothing else. I'm allergic to most antibiotics so I am definitely glad this one worked so well l for me."


"Been on it for a month now. Have lost 10 lbs. No voices or paranoia! Miracle. Just very drowsy."


"Can taste the drops about 15 minutes after you use them. "


"My 7 year old son is taking it."


"I am just finishing up my first month of using Nuvaring. It is obviously a very convenient method of birth control. As far as side effects go, I am a little bloated, my breasts grew about half a cup, and I have had some spotting- which I expected for the first month. I noticed a little more hair coming out when I shower, as did my hair dresser. I took multivitamins and noticed an improvement within a week. I lost about a pound a week so far without changing my old diet or workout routine, but that's not a complaint. My partner said it doesn't bother him, and I can't feel it in there! I would recommend it."
