"It makes a huge difference in my day! I hate having to take something everyday to stay awake and alert but better then living in the fog I was in the past 8 years of my life (6 of which I didn't even notice they were side effects of something bigger haha.)

Things you may notice while taking Adderall with narcolepsy,
1.You are stop being a shut in
2. You actually start calling your friends to do something instead of getting harassed till you finally cave and do something.
3. You're better at work and all of a sudden care about your job.
4. You are grinding your jaw.
5. Stop grinding your jaw.
and finally 6. Work with your doctor for the right dosage! There will be a bit of dancing between cracked out and half asleep till you find it."


"I switched this from Ability and the difference is night and day - energized, happy and manic free. I follow the rules to a tee - take at night with a minimum 350 calories - I noticed some posts here reporting vomiting and ineffectiveness - it's not just about stomach upset - you MUST take the med on a full stomach or it wont be absorbed properly and will likely cause upset too - this is what my Doc tells me and he seems to be right"


"Started this pill exactly a month ago and the first week was terrible. Felt nauseous about 6 hours after taking the pill, which made me very weak and sick feeling. Had to call out of work twice and leave early because I would throw up. My second week got a lot better started taking it around 8 pm and would sleep through the side effects. Still taking it today and feel a lot better."


"The draw back to this medicine is dry mouth and night sweats"


"Tried many different antidepressants for depression and anxiety. Ended up on 45 Remeron and 2 mg of Abilify.  Worked after 2 days. After months of debilitating depression and anxiety!  I am so thankful. Was worried about taking an anti psychotic, because I'm not bipolar or psychotic. Got over that as soon as I saw results. Will take this medicine as long as needed. Miracle truly!"


"I have started taking Paxil CR 12.5 mg six months ago, for my stuttering and fear of talking. In the beginning I felt slightly down and kind of panicky, but after 1 week those bad feelings went away completely.

It has helped me a lot. I can say that my stuttering has improved. I am 80% fluent most of the time and even if I stutter I don't care that much anymore. I also feel closer to people and more confident in general. I feel happier also, and lost 4 kg due to the appetite loss and feeling full earlier.

Sex drive has decreased a bit, but it does not interfere in my relationship.

Somedays I get bursts of anger over small things.

It has also cured my insomnia.

Sometimes I feel dizzy but it is not bad and goes away fast."


"I was given this right after surgery from a car accident; it made me really sick and the side effects kept me crying the whole time I was on it.    It did help with the pain a little, but not enough to counter the side effects!"


"I've had pancreatitis for 15 years now. This is the first medicine that not only works on the vomiting but it also gives me an appetite. Eating anything is painfull, this seems to slow things down to let my body process. It's a life saver."


"My Implanon was inserted in September 09. When it was first inserted I had a very light period for 3 days and after that I stopped having periods until recently starting in January. I will bleed for about 2-3 weeks then a few days off and the bleeding starts again. This is the only side effect that I have and it is hard because I have a very high sex drive but other than that I must honestly say that I love the Implanon a lot more than Depo and the pill. With the Implanon I know its there and I don't have to run to the doctor every 3 months or I don't have to remember to take it everyday at the same time. So come 2012 I'm going back to get it reinserted but in a week my doctor will start me on estrogen. I was told that it helps with the bleeding."


"I used Accutane about a year ago and it did wonders for my skin. As for side effects, I had dry lips but it was not a problem. I took the medication for five months and it cleared my acne. I had never felt so good about myself. After six months of taking it, my acne came back. I heard that you sometimes have to go on a second round with it before it totally clears your acne for a long time. Accutane is the best and I highly recommend it to anyone who tried everything to clear their skin. It is expensive but worth it."


"I have a high metaboliam. Nights are a challenge for sleep for me. I have found that a 5mg melatonin helps me to sleep within an hour. Benadryl or products added to sleep aides work backwards, by keeping me awake."


"I went to the doctors on Monday with a chest infection and he prescribed me with doxycycline and I told him that I have asthma. On day 3 and had to go back to get different antibotics due to the severe chest pain which stopped me from eating and drinking. Doctor switched me to amoxicillian for a week. On the other hand it seems my chest infection is starting to clear up. Wouldn't take again unless necessary"


"Please, please read this before trying any prescription for chronic constipation due to opioid use.  Due to a back injury, I have been taking opioids for over 10 years.  I had chronic constipation with no relief with anything.  Then I read another person's experience with magnesium.  The type of magnesium you take is important.  You want to take one that has low absorption, so that it will pass right through.  I went from having a bowel movement once a week or week and a half to having one daily.  I take 1-250mg magnesium oxide and 1 docusate sodium (non-stimulant stool softener) twice a day (same dosage for the last 9 years).  You can find these over-the-counter  in any drugstore.  Unfortunately, a physician won't tell you this."


"I started on 50mg of Zoloft around 8 or 9 months ago, and it helped me a lot. Recently I went and got my dosage upped to a 100mg due to a few traumatic things, I became very, very depressed. That was about three months ago and I feel a lot better, not 100% but better none the less. I never really noticed any side effects, except gritting my teeth at night, and I do think it makes me a little drowsy. As far as sexual side effects I've had none, unlike the previous two medications I tried."


"I developed constipation when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and diverticulosis 2 years ago. I currently have samples from my gastro Dr. but prescription with my insurance it's $30. I was VERY constipated this morning and decided today was the day to try one of the samples. You have to take this medicine on an empty stomach. Popped pill, made breakfast and felt movement before I finished eating. Thought I would have diarrhea, but instead was smooth and normal. What a relief. It was about 30-40 mins from time I took pill to bowel motion. I think I will go fill my prescription now. Hope the rest of the day goes well and no side effects. I do hear mild gurgling. Also, I did add powdered fiber to my coffee because I made it before I decided to take medicine."


"Gabapentin caused severe hair loss.  Now on Lyrica.  Pain (trigeminal neuralgia) is not constant but unrelieved.  Had surgery and radiation.  Lyrica causes me to walk strange, tremor in legs and fingers, blurred near vision. Not sure if I should continue.  Will see what Dr says on Tuesday."


"I took this ONCE. I could not sleep all night - I went to bed at 10 and was up until 4 am. Every time I closed my eyes, I entered a lucid dream and started talking and woke myself up. It was so strange. The next day, I tried to nap and the same thing happened. Eventually, it went away. And I never took Flonase again."

"Started using Paxil as an alternative for estrogen therapy going through menopausal stage. I had no idea that the withdrawal symptoms would be so horrific.  I have tried 3 times to ween off but the symptoms of brain zaps, that cause painful electrical jolts from head to toe, and the uncontrollable crying make it almost impossible to work full time and ween off this medication."


"I used to hear voices on a daily basis, especially when I was near a fan or running water, the noise turned into words.  Since I have been on Risperdal I have had a significant decrease in the voices to where they are almost gone.  If I don't get any sleep or I am really stressed out the voices come back, so I try to get plenty of sleep and avoid stressful situations.  I give Risperdal an A .  The first week on Risperdal I was extremely sleepy.  It was really hard to wake up, but now I am fine and my body has adapted to the medication.  You should try it.  The peace of mind I get from Risperdal is priceless.  I used to think my thoughts were being broadcast out loud and now my own thoughts are much quieter."


"I started watching what I eat three days ago and taking 1/2 pill a day for the last two. I have only experienced dry mouth- no jitters, no heart problems, nothing. I also have noticed a MASSIVE difference in my appetite- I have none. I have to make myself eat and am careful to eat healthy foods. I have lost 5lbs in 3 days. I know it's water weight, but I have to start somewhere and I'm thrilled that it's starting so well. Fingers crossed the weight continues to come off!"


"It worked just fine. Took one and 12 hours later had a BM. No side effects. No cramps."


"Best thing I've ever done. Im 47 yrs. old and smoked for 32  yrs. This medicine did exactly what I thought it would.  1st week smoked as usually. 2nd week I started noticing a decrease in the amount of cigarettes I was smoking and I wasnt even trying. At the end of the 2nd week I didnt even want one so I stopped completely on the 14th day and it's been 1 month exactly without a single cigarette. Some side effects were great dreams, slight headache once in awhile and waking up 2 -3 times during the night.  Started taking Benadryl at night and slept great.  Would I recommend this medicine YES!"


"I recently started to use this drug, as I was diagnosed with a chronic illness and realized much of my pain was coming from anxiety. I have only been on it for a week, but I love it! I felt the effects the first day I took it. My doctor also told me that it is one of the safest out there and that he rarely even recommends benzos anymore due to this drug. I did get a little dizzy at first, so I stared taking halves. Anxiety was beginning to take over my life, I was anxious about anxiety. I can say that this stuff actually works!!!!"


"You have to understand that when you look at review pages like this before/right after getting the implant in worry the negative reviews will outweigh the positive simply because when you have a bad experience you want to warn others and most people enjoying life with Nexplanon don't return to the review page that terrified them when they first got the implant. I saw this very page and worried I would have a bad time on the implant boy was I wrong! No period for 6 months and then a light one on the 7th with period pain on only one day of that period. The implantation site is still there if you look but no pain or discomfort. Definitely better than the pill that I was on prior for period pain. Talk to your doctor and make your own choice! GL"


"I will go for three months with no period at all and then I will bleed for a month at a time.  Just recently I had a month long period, and 2 weeks later started up again. It's been three weeks and still no end.  I have had the Implanon for almost 2 years and I can honestly say I will not use this product ever again."


"This medication has worked wonders for my hip/skeleton pain. I need to get back on them."


"I tried Zoloft for depression and it made me hyper.  Paxil works.  I have used it two times during my life when I was depressed and self-help was not working.  It worked great for depression and I didn't have many side effects EXCEPT that I cannot achieve orgasm while taking this medication.  Nada.  I have a wonderful husband and I am used to a good sex life.  Paxil kills it.  As soon as I'm off the drug for a week, everything comes back.  I hate losing sex but I hate being depressed more.  In the end, that is the choice for me."


"I've always had problems with persistent depression since I was 14 (I'm now 25) but I've never been suicidal. It took me a couple of weeks to realise it but this medication made me suicidal! I was prescribed it for anxiety and restless legs at night, it did get me to sleep but I woke up several times through out the night. I was originally prescribed half a 5 ml tablet but had no effect until I took 2 tablets (10mg). Because I didn't become suicidal immediately after taking the tablets I didn't realise this was what was causing it but after becoming sus I googled "can diazepam can suicidal thoughts" and sure enough there were plenty of similar complaints. I've stopped taking it and doing much better"


"My husband and I had a severe OC habit.. He has chronic pain and the doctor would literally throw painkillers at him 150 OC's a month. I took them as sad as it sounds to get high. I thought "Wow something that takes away my depression and keeps me going at work, I could work a twelve hour day at the office, go to the gym and have dinner on the table. Then everything spiraled out of control. We almost lost our home to foreclosure as we were spending 500 a day on our habit. We even had to sell one of cars to keep our home. We have been on Methadone for 5 months and it has given us our lives back. I would recomend to anyone with chronic pain as my husbands is now managed successfully for the first time in 10 years."


"Mirena has been great! I'm going on 5 years in February and have had a wonderful experience. No pain, no cramps, the only bleeding I've had has been spotting and that happens maybe once a year. I am going this February to have my second inserted and from what I have read it appears it may be a painful experience. However, I am optimistic and hope it is as good of an experience as these past 5 years."


"Have had moderate to severe pain for over 10 years. Percocet was the first to even touch my pain, then had to be switched to Oxycontin, when the withdrawal was too much. Oxycontin didn't last 12 hours, took it every 8 and still experienced withdrawal symptoms and breakthrough pain. Finally switching to Hydromorph contin. Much better, now I have no withdrawals ever."


"I took the medication for two weeks and it worked like a charm. However, I started to experience extreme pain in my joints (knees, ankles, wrist). Not sure if it is associated with the medicine, but I didn't have all of the aches until I started. I love how the medicine mellowed me out no anxiety or frustration over little things. Hot flashes are at a minimum. Hope it makes it because I would like to continue taking it."


"Doctor gave me this to help me sleep after the usual drugs (lunesta, ambien, etc) didn't help much and made me sleep walk.  Been taking for 10 days now and the stuff is fantastic.  I pretty much sleep through the night every night and no more sleep walking."


"This is a MIRACLE medicine for me and is most effective when taken at the onset of a migraine. Within 20 minutes, I can feel the relief setting in. Within an hour, I have no sign of a headache or the usual symptoms of vomiting, blurred vision, ringing in the ears, etc. If I 'deny' that I feel a migraine coming on and take the pill after the headache has progressed, it takes a little longer for the pill to work.  Before this medicine, I had become a prisoner in my own life, not daring to venture far from home. THANK YOU Imitrex for giving me back my life!"


"This is my 2nd implanon, which i had inserted within 6 weeks of removing the 1st.

My period completely stopped and I didnt experience any other side effects (other than my weight fluctuating by 5kg) whilst i had the first one in but this time was the complete opposite!

I started getting my period every second week (which is much darker and potent) and now I am just constantly bleeding.. small amounts but CONSTANT small amounts... i feel like a leaking faucet... and i always have cramps and intense cravings...

I originally started the inplanon so I could have spontaneous sex with my partner and not worry about getting pregnant but now I can't even have pre-planned sex!!!!

I can not wait to have it removed."


"I got the implanon about a year ago. I gained about 30 lbs. Turned into a emotional wreck! I never was like this until I started using the implanon as my birth control. I can not lose weight! Everything I eat sticks to me! I can eat 1 meal a day and still not lose. When I first got on the implanon I didn't have my period for the first couple of months so I thought it was awesome, then I started getting my period for 2. 5 weeks at a time...I am getting this out next week!"


"I was prescribed vistaril by my primary. I have severe anxiety and panic attacks. About 45 minutes ago I took this for the first time and being completely honest, it did help relieve that sense of intense fear! I also feel way more relaxed than what I was feeling! Overall I recommend!"


"I was prescribed Bromocriptine, as it seems to be the only available medication for treatment of high prolactin levels caused by my pituitary brain tumor. Unfortunately within a couple of weeks I was unable to stay awake for any length of time, even at the lowest dose possible. Although my prolactin levels did come down briefly and I had one menstrual period after 6 weeks, I had to stop taking the medication because of the Severe Chronic Fatigue caused by the bromocriptine.
I have since tried it 3 times in the past 5 years out of desperation and have had the same result each time. I simply can't function within 2 weeks of starting the medication. I'm desperate to have a semblance of my life back and available medications are limited at best!"


"I was having pretty heavy pms and very irregular mensturation cycle. Now I'm almost on my first year with Yasmin and never ever pms anymore. I feel even happier as my period gets closer. All thanks to yasmin. It took a little time for my body to get adjusted. Almost for first 2 months it made it worse than ever. But I knew that was gonna happen so I was patient. And it ended up extremely well. I recommend it for anyone having severe pms and emotional problems related to period. It's also really good to know exactly when to have your period."


"I have Pityriasis Rubra Pilarius, or PRP.  My feet developed a horrible thick peeling layer that cracked and bled continuously.  Topical ointments such as Clobetasol did not help relieve my symptoms.  Kenalog-10 injections over the bottoms of my feet cleared them up within weeks."


"First it is a good medicine for sore throat and cough.. along with sinurest and nasal decongestant. I have taken azitromicin previously it takes 15 days to cure sore throat..but augmentin will take only 4 day to cure along with as I said previous drugs"


"I started Contrave on March 16th and today is March 29th and I have lost 10 pounds so far.
I have been on the weight watchers program and have already lost 88 pounds using that program in the past year and a half. From October 2016-Mid March 2017 I have been in a constant losing and gaining the same 5 pounds. Frustrated because I have obviously learned how to eat healthy and control my portions I went to my doctor to ask how to break this plateau. She prescribed me Contrave. The first week NO SIDE EFFECTS and I felt great! Good energy...and it stopped the night-time cravings that I think was derailing my weight loss efforts. The second week I have had TERRIBLE headaches and constantly feel nauseous! I am hoping this goes away SOON."


"It is not pleasant if you cannot function in life because you cannot sleep... this medication helped me to get back to my life."


"Hi Girls...
so I shared my experience in November, now it's February, this means 6 month of copper iud inside.
Well until February, it was a nightmare, I was seriously thinking to get  it out.
Then I decided to wait a little bit more (because I suffered a lot, did not want to give up of everything I went through), so my period came this month and it is the FIRST TIME WITHOUT THE PAIN KILLER. oh my goodness, what a beautiful feeling. It hurts of course, but I am doing everything normally without ibuprofen. I even went to train yesterday, and it was the 1st day.
What I do not like is that the period lasts much longer (for me 7 days minimum, without it was 3 days max). Anyway I decided to keep it, I hope next months will be even better. Greets"


"I am 44 and started taking Requip 1 mg on 4/06/2016 and it has been absolutely wonderful.  My quality of life was so poor prior to this and wasn't getting but 2 hours of sleep a night...if that.  I call it my miracle drug.  I haven't had any side effects.  The Doctor put me on it because I have a sleep study coming up and the last time I went to the sleep study, I didn't sleep.  I was surprised that it worked for me the first night I took it."


"I was given this medicine to take daily to prevent migraines, and I don't know if it worked because it threw me into the WORST depression I've ever dealt with in my life. At the peak of this I had a panic attack so bad I was considering dropping out of college! Luckily I realized that the pill was making me feel this way and as SOON as I stopped it the depressive episodes and anxiety went away. I was on a small dose too. TERRIBLE. BE CAREFUL WITH IT IF YOU HAVE A HISTORY/PREDISPOSITION TO DEPRESSION/ANXIETY"


"This is incredibly overpriced garbage!"


"I take 200 mg of Topamax daily.  I have tried Imitrex, Relpax and Maxalt.  Maxalt was okay. I have had no side-effects with Axert.  It usually relieves my migraines within 10-15 minutes maximum."


"I really like the shot. I have had no weight gain or any other side effects. I did bleed very lightly for two weeks (my periods normally last 4 or 5 days) after the first month on it, but I haven't had any periods since then. Occasionally I will get brown discharge or very light spotting, but it is such a small amount that I don't even notice. I can't take most birth control because I can't have estrogen, but I am very happy with the shot."


"I would recommend overall. During the first month it killed my libido and made me grow two cup sizes, but by the second month my libido was back. No mood swings unlike some other pills. I gained 6 pounds but I think it was water.  A year in, the only residual side effect is the big breasts, and most importantly, I'm not pregnant."


"My Dr didn't really stay in touch with me through this medication. As a 25 year old with no prior health issues, I was a little scared. I did have headaches, and I suppose the occasional tiredness, but nothing unbearable. For my headaches I'd still take the occasional Tylenol because they did get bad at times. I was on an 8 week treatment and it worked! Here I am 6 months later, completely cured."


"This device saved my sex life! Sinse insertion (that wasn't that bad) I've not had one thrush infection! I know people say IUDs can make infections worse, but for me it's been a life saver. I have lost weight and my mood and libido have greatly improved. I am 24, no kids and have tried every other Birth Control under the sun (including Implanon) all gave me constant thrush and weight gain! Amazing such a small thing can reap such positive changes!!"


"Was put on Rosuvastatin after angioplasty. Weird chest and lungs pain. As if someone stabbing in chest. Pain worsened after lying down. Unable to sleep well. All these symptoms went away after stopping Rosuvastatin. Meeting my cardiologist next week to see if any other Statin like Pitvastatin could be tried."


"I have been on this pill for 5 days now! It seems to work through the day but at night my chest still feels very sore, the pneumonia still hasn't seemed to fade. However, I am able to do more during the day without being in pain. Must be working!
I too, had an awful metallic taste in my mouth all day after this pill. It made me sick to my stomach, to stop this I actually started taking my pill with Apple sauce. Just ate a few spoon fulls, then put the pill on the spoon in Apple sauce, and swallow. It leaves a tiny taste, however, it does not last and doesn't make me sick. I suggest trying something like this , not just water."


"On my second month of generic and I will be doing what is needed to get name brand Nuvigil at next refill. I've been the person I was prior to Nuvigil several years ago. I have also had a constant headache. My nose sinuses have felt very congested with little to no production. I do have allergies so possible has nothing to do with the generic. But typically after a round of allergy meds it clear and this has been ongoing for 2 months now. I can take the generic and within an hour be asleep. I feel like I did years ago before Nuvigil. I was happy for a generic because of the reduced co-pay. However I'm ready to pay the higher cost for the name brand so I can get back to my life!"


"I take Ocella to help control my PCOS and as a birth control. It's done a good job of regulating my period and as a birth control. However, I've experienced many mood swings and depressive-like symptoms as well as more nausea and tenderness in my breasts. It does what it needs to do which is why I'm reluctant to switch since it is one of the best birth controls to regulate my PCOS symptoms."


"terrible nauseous feeling. Flank pain, blurred vision and weakness."


"I have been taking this medicine for a while, but my BP never or hardly ever gets down to 120/80. I changed my diet, so I'm going to do yoga then see if this helps, I lost 10 pounds already at 220/5'4 so a way to go. I don't want to take meds because I have many side effects that I don't like the sweats the aching pains in my joints, thirst it's really annoying. Is there any meds that don't have as many side effects for hypertension?"


"Having an issue with frequent Relapses every few years and the Grey Matter/Atrophy of my Brain being the Main Topic Aubagio was recommended by my MS Neuro ..

I prepared for the Minor Issues however had developed Bladder Issues and was getting horrible Headaches halfway through my 3rd month .. Had to stop use and see my Neuro ..

Will find out results soon but will suggest that going into this one must have an Open Mind and be very aware of their MS .. Know mine was helpful in my determining I was having a "Flare" .. Along with the additional Issues ..

The Nurse Program that is there to "Support" us is NOT HELPFUL at all .. They cannot answer any questions .. They however REFER you to the "Clinicians" who again do not Answer questions ..."


"I have been suffering from scalp psoriasis for 8 months and my dermatologist prescribed me Talconex two days ago and it's almost all gone. This is the greatest."


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


"It is good."


"I've been taking Diovan HCT (80/12.5) for a little over one year.  It has done the trick on my blood pressure but leaves me with a slight headache and afternoon lethargy.  After about 8:00 pm I usually start to feel better.  My doctor and I tried 3 other medicines before Diovan HCT with no results.  I don't know if the side effects are something I will just have to live with or not.  I will discuss this on my next Dr.'s visit."


"I started Trintellix/Brintellix 9 months ago and it worked good for depression except I was recalling memories from the past which were disturbing, and I seemed more sensitive to negative issues in the world.   This felt odd and disturbing but I stayed on it.  I had no weight gain but in the beginning I had severe esophagus pain and ear pain which came and went for months... Oh ya, I also threw up the first few weeks. This drug made me hyper for months and then a month ago , I crashed and went into a depression.. Well, I think it's time to go back on cymbalta.  I gave Trintellix/Brintellix a good try.  Strange drug.  Hope the withdrawal isn't too severe."


"I've been taking Wellbutrin 150 SR every morning for 3 weeks now. I was on Zoloft for quite a while and experienced sexual side effects. I was willing to try something different and Wellbutrin seemed to have a good history of not affecting sexual drive. I've continued to go downhill since starting the Wellbutrin. I have no energy, feel the need to withdraw from interaction with people, feel unsteady at times, have depressing thoughts, and feel moments of sadness and start crying. I can't wait to be weaned of this."


"I used Naproxen when I tore a tendon in my knee and the swelling would not go down. Naproxen works. It takes some time but you have to be on a regular dose and once you stop taking it, it goes back to the way it was before (at least in my case it did)."


"I’ve found out the hard way... want to warn people taking the pill Yasmin to really think about it. I wish my Doctors wouldn’t of recommended this to me and told me about the risks. I’m losing my hair and going bald, my skin has got worse, headaches, the lot. Horrible pill! Shouldn’t be prescribing this pill to women with horrible side affects ."


"My acne ranged anywhere from moderate to severe before I started taking Yasmin. I've been consistently using Yasmin for three months now, and I've seen a massive improvement in my skin. During the first couple of months there were no visible changes to my acne, if anything it got worse. Nearing the third month all the bumps on my forehead disappeared, leaving my forehead smooth for the first time in years. I still occasionally get large whiteheads on my chin and cheeks, but not nearly as severe. Hopefully in a month or two I will be acne free."


"Beautiful sleep every night"


"Yes, Carisoprodol is the best relaxant I've ever had. 2 weeks after cervical spine surgery, a rear-end collision (I was a belted passenger) damaged another nerve in my neck (and arm) plus my lumbar spine. I have been taking up to 4 a day for 8 years now. When I first began taking it, I felt woozy and sleepy so I cut it in half. Once my body got used to it, I was able to take the whole tablet plus 20mg of oxycodone which gave me much better relief from severe pain and spasms. The only withdrawal I've had was more pain and spasms when I forgot to take it. "


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


"I don't understand why people quit after 3 days starting it. It made them too anxious or depressed - isn't this why you are taking it? It doesn't work overnight. I too am very impatient and would prefer a quick fix. But the first 2 weeks are rough but if your persevere the benefits outweigh the startup. I'm into my 3rd week and it's working really well it is like a lightbulb moment.  I gave a 9 because for the life of me I cannot orgasm but I'll take that over the suicidal thoughts and feeling lifeless anyday... remember give it time your brain needs to adjust... stay strong x"


"I've been through the mill with birth control pills. I've probably tried and quit 10 contraceptives. I LOVE this pill, though. It helps with regulating my periods since I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and now I'm actually able to get pregnant. I might mention that I'm a decently sized woman, too. It completely stopped my acne. I've never, knock on wood, had any problems with blood clots, quickened heart rate, high blood pressure, headaches, increased appetite, decreased appetite, tenderness of breasts, or an increase in the depression I already suffer from. I would recommend this contraceptive to any woman. Get this birth control! You will not be sorry."


"I just got put on Promethazine for nausea and vomiting. I started out liking it a lot, but now not so much as I thought I was feeling better seems I've gotten worse. Was only having normal side effects, now starting to have more severe side effects. Gave a 5 because I did like it and was helpful."

"I was prescribed this medicine for diarrhea associated with a bad case of Giardia I picked up. It not only gave my bowels a rest but eased the cramping and dulled the pain. I found it an excellent sleep enhancer as well, which is about all you want to do when in the midst of a cramping bowel attack."


"My pharmacist put me on this when i have been on GILDESS 1.5/30 (21) ORAL for almost 2 years and that was perfect but now that i'm on Microgestin Fe 1.5/30 I'm having horrible headaches, major mood swings, and depression. I absolutely hate this pill I would give it a negative rating if i could."


"Ive been taking it for a year now, works great for me. I can only do the pill because my body reacts so strangly to most but this has cause no problems for me. My mood is normal, weight is the same. I'd tell others to give it a chance"


"I've suffered from panic disorder for over 10 years now. After a bad panic attack put me in an ambulance, I finally decided to try Zoloft. I would recommend that anyone with panic disorder start off at 12.5mg for a couple of weeks before you decide to up the dose. Mainly because the side effects can be rough when you first start. Only increase when YOU feel you need to, and not based on what a doctor feels is an effective dose. You are probably going to feel crappy the first couple weeks, this is the case for most people, and does not mean the medicine isn't working. It does eventually get better."


"I was on this pill for about a year and noticed weight gain, irritability, and horrible periods. I would have break through bleeding almost every month, and my period would last at least 10 days. My breasts were extremely tender as well. After about a month of being off of this pill and switching to another, I have lost weight and not had the bad side effects."


"I've been using Combivent since 2000 up to now but not on a regular basis, only during severe asthma attack and it gives immediate relief."


"This is the first birth control I've tried, have taken it for a month and a half. First 2-3 days I had terrible headaches, which went away but came back during the placebo pills. I have a history of migraines, but only with light/noise sensitivity, no aura. Took Maxalt for the headaches, helped. Bust got slightly bigger, gained a little weight but I was very stressed out and ate trash, so not necessarily the medication. My skin was about the same, broke out slightly but I wasn't sleeping or eating vegetables. Extremely moody/meltdowns during the placebo days, but I think that is my personal reaction to the hormones, I had a similar experience before where the body chemicals made my emotions crash. No nausea, no vomiting, etc. During the placebo days, I did not get my period/breakthrough bleeding, but now that I am stopping the medication [for unrelated reasons] I suddenly have a tiny bit of spotting."


"I got it inserted 2/11/14. Pain was terrible, felt hot and light headed like I was going to pass out after insertion. This lasted about 30 minutes then steady cramping for 24-48 hours after. I had spotting the first few months then it finally dwindled down to no spotting or periods at all.

Other than the pain I'm happy with it. I'm having it removed next week and a new one reinserted after. I was told removal isn't as bad as insertion so I just plan on taking a day off or two after reinsertion."


"I've had Paragaurd for over 4 months now and I really like it. Insertion was a breeze. I have two kids so that might have helped a bit. I was told to take Motrin before I had it done too. The whole process lasted all but 3 minutes. Literally! My cycle has been pretty much on time. Periods are a bit heavier but nothing I can't handle. My husband cannot feel the strings at all and I check them after my period ends. I really forget that it's even there. No problems and I love that it's hormone free. So far so good"


"After being on antibiotics I developed a YI. After being unable to find clotrimazole at any of my local drug stores I bought the generic version of this with the purple cap. I've used this product before without issues...that was then. This time shortly after inserting the cream I felt intense vaginal burning. By intense I mean it felt like a fire & fire ant bites. The burning was so intense I couldn't feel any itching. I resisted the urge to rinse it out and suffered all night with little sleep. The next day my vagina felt sore and swollen, which was not how it felt from the YI, only after using this product. I did not use any further doses of this. Instead I called my doctor and got the Diflucan pill. Spare yourself, use an alternative."


"I have been on Seasonique for almost 3 months, I haven't had any spotting however really bad acne on my T-zone. In the past I have had maybe 2-3 spots at a time but now 3 months In I have multiple spots triple or more than usual. I am totally attracted to 3-4 menstrual cycles a year, not to the idea of the acne however."


"My doc says I may be the 1 in 100,000 that just can't take it. My liver enzymes went off the chart and I am still recovering from acute hepatitus and muscle pain."


"I've had paraguard for 1 yr. Insertion was nearly painless-no worse than a papsmear to me, esp. compared to the horrible experience I expected after reading negative reviews online (I might have lucked out with a tactile & tactful doctor, but I suggest you have your own experience).IUD hasn't had one noticeable effect on my mood, appetite, or energy. I'm against hormones, so I think some of my positive attitude is due to placebo b/c I want it to work. HOWEVER, even at 1 yr, periods aren't cyclical, sometimes 2x/mo, intermittent spotting, dry blood residues, so I avoid sex sometimes b/c it's embarrassing.This is ironic b/c birth control should enable me to have sex more!Also, the cramps are more painful than any pain I have ever experienced."


"Prevented migraines, but made me want to cry all the time and made me a raging lunatic at the same time."


"I've been taking this Birth control for almost 2 years. I tried Ortho Tricyclen-Lo and had horrible mood swings and cravings. I also tired 3 others. This has been my favorite and I'm very satisfied. I don't have any side effects. I'd definitely recommend it!"


"I've been suffering badly with migraines nearly everyday for the past 18 months while sitting my GCSE exams, so it made it even more difficult as I couldn't concentrate. I was put on these tablets 2 months ago and they have massively helped, while they have not got rid of the migraines completely, rather than having one every day and not being good for anything at all times I tend to go weeks without one and just suffer with a migraine for 2-3 days which I much prefer as I know that most days I will be fine. I have had most side effects but they are manageable; pins and needles, memory loss, clumsiness, runny nose, sore throat, swollen joints, mixing words, tired all the time, unable to sleep a full night, lack of concentration and more."


"It was the worst medication I had ever taken. Took 15mg for 2 weeks to help with major depressive disorder. Started with not being able to wake up, feeling sedated, almost drove off the road. It changed my personality I became angry, emotional and constantly upset. Made my depression 10 times worse. Ended the medication abruptly following 1 week of suicidal idealisations and an near suicide attempt. Horrible medication, if you have any side effects go off it immediately."


"Work's great just would like it to work a little longer. Great product!"


"I've been taking depo-provera since May 21, 2012. I haven't had a period since but very light spotting from time to time. This my 3rd year on birth control and after my last shot on July 21 I've been bleeding uncontrollably. I don't know what's wrong but its literally making me feel sick. Light headed due to low iron. I don't know if I should stay on it or not."


"I had commented earlier as to the great benefit Campral was to help me stop drinking.  The sad part is that my right elbow started to hurt.

Then it started to swell.  At first I didn't make the connection.  Then I started to wonder if there was a connection.  But I was so pleased because I didn't even think about drinking  that I kept taking it.

I finally stopped taking it when I couldn't stand the pain of my elbow.  It took a week before my elbow stopped hurting.

If anyone knows of something else that works this well without the side effects I'll take it in a second.

Good luck to all of you that want to try it!"


"I use Zarah for my acne cause I have bad acne I started 2 months ago and it cleared my acne up it's just that now I have a few breakouts now and then and some scars from before. I think this product is really helpful for acne, it works on some people like me and people are not the same so it might or might not work for you."


"Desipramine has worked wonders for me. After many years on and off of various medications that would - at best, if they worked at all - help briefly and degenerate into vicious side effects, this one worked like a charm. The only down-side is that it is so innocuous that it's easy to get used to the improvement; since the improvements it can be tempting to consider oneself "better" and discontinue prematurely. Fortunately there are no discontinuation effects, and the only side effect I have experienced is slight photosensitivity."


"I have had Skyla since i was 20, 2 years now. It is meant for women who have not had a baby before. I took some ibuprofen before and got it done in less than 5 mins. It was pretty, pretty painful but you have to understand that they are dilating your cervex. Afterwards, I was in a little pain but was able to drive home. Laid down for the rest of the day. And 2 years later I still love it!! I did get an ovarian cyst like a year ago but when I felt abdominal pain I went to my dr. No complications. Had no period for 1 year but overall feel great. It's not for everyone but it has worked great for me. Also, I have not used a condom since I got it and never pregnant. "


"Number one, don't listen to the negativity the smaller groups of bad experiences have. Skyla was never said to be for everyone. Which is why I don't understand women that tell you NOT to get it. Your best option is to try it. And to people who have certain health conditions, unless a woman has the same thing as you, don't listen either.
Anyway, I have a 7 yr old, and I got skyla in January and it's now June. I have had bad acne and cramps and heavy bleeding since I was 11, and Skyla reduced my periods and cramps. It did not do much with my acne, but that's fine... Also, Skyla is uncomfortable to insert, (not gonna lie) but I literally was with my OB for 10 minutes and left. It's been okay since. Just Try it for yourself"


"I have a bad neck. I broke it some 20 years ago. However when the weather changes it hurts badly. So I asked the pharmacist what would be the best topical pain reliever and they told me Aspercream. So I put some on my neck last night, before going to bed. I woke up with a rash and burning on my neck.
It's like one of the worst sunburns I've ever had. It worked on my neck pain, but I don't think I can use it anymore,due to the burn I got from it."


"I'm currently on venlafaxine, 300mg/day, and have been on it for 6 months now.  This stuff works beautifully for me.  I had/have MDD, GAD, SAD, and took Paxil for 10 years, which worked quite well until 8 months ago.  I was scared of switching because of the fact that not all anti-depressants work for everyone, and I was terrified of fully reverting back to my suicidal, petrified old self.  My psychiatrist was able to convince me after a couple months to go for it.  On the venlafaxine I feel calm, HAPPY, able to concentrate, mildly euphoric, and better than I did in my early days of taking Paxil.  This stuff is hit or miss for different people, but don't be scared to try it if you haven't.  And give it time to work."


"I am 20 have been using Alesse for about 2 years now. Good: no pregnancies, lighter, predictable periods with no cramping whatsoever (HUGE plus), no weight gain. Bad: I am completely insane on this pill, extreme mood swings, never happy always in a lulled state of lazy depression, brought to tears by every and anything, constantly tired, no motivation, really low sex drive. Horrible: My skin is at a point where I don't even want to step outdoors and be seen by people! Worst breakouts I have ever had, and perpetual yeast infections. The yeast infections, laziness and diminished sex drive basically erase the need for a birth control pill anyway. Very unhappy."


"I was constantly tired, spaced out and I couldn't eat enough. In 2 months I gained 20 pounds and slept an average of close to 14 hours a day."


"I have a ruptured disc in my lower back and physical therapy did not help.  Soma combined with Tramadol has made the symptoms tolerable so I can work and enjoy life with my loved ones. I haven't really encountered any negative side effects, so this has been a blessing for me.  Other medications were not nearly as effective, so I plan on staying on this medicine as long as I can.  God bless all of you in intolerable pain."


"This drug made my heart rate drop extremely low !I got a sore throat and could not stand up! It gave me upper stomach pain and bloating! I also got Thrush from it!"


"Buspar seemed to increase my anxiety and caused sleep disturbance.  I woke up several times during the night feeling anxious."


"So I don't have a major acne problem. I'm 23 and I had like 4 pimples and one was very stubborn on my cheek it wouldn't go away. So I asked my dermatologist what I should do and she gave me some epiduo cream to try. I put it on right before bed and the first day it was fine and I noticed a reduction in my pimple so I tried it the second night. When I woke up the next morning my face was BURNING and the areas I applied this cream were so dry and flaky. I honestly would rather tolerate the ugly pimples over the side effects I got from this cream. Over all I hated this cream. If you have sensitive skin I would avoid using this, go for veltin instead it's much more gentle and effective for acne."


"Im 17 years old and have been using Amoxicillin for the last month to keep my abscess tooth Infection down... i have never had to drain my tooth at all... It works great with no side effects for me... I did get a little bit of diarrhea but not much at all... No pain anywhere... NOW you do you need to know that everyone's body will react Differently to Amoxicillin So please don't go by what the reviews say... Test it out for your self..."


"I chose the Skyla after my second child. It was inserted 8 weeks after baby. At the 4 week follow up, they could not find the strings. 2 ultrasounds, pregnancy test, x Ray,  and CT scan later, they located the IUD in my abdominal cavity which required lap surgery to remove! What a disaster!"


"On a search for birth control that doesn't make me nauseous while helping my death feeling cramps and this wasn't it. When my horrible cramps hit this month, I took the first pill of the pack and have felt so throw up nauseous ever since after only 1 pill. I'm at a loss for what to do about my cramps at this point, when the pill makes me so sick it's not worth taking it either."


"I had a heart attack and stent and have a problems with taking statins.  I have taken 4 injections so far.  I have stomach cramps , and double over with pain, leg cramps unreal.  I can tolerate Crestor 3 days a week.  Had check up with my heart Dr and he said go off the Repatha it will lower your numbers but, as it states and so did my heart Dr that there is NO proof it will help your heart.  I thought this strange but, as he said it also says that on the pamphlet that comes with it.  I am quitting taking it stomach aches and bowel problems are miserable."


"I took it for about 3 weeks with no improvement in symptoms whatsoever. Side effects included complete loss of appetite and rapid weight loss, mood swings, intense nausea, insomnia, hallucinations, memory problems and constant confusion. Everyone reacts differently I guess, but this was not the medicine for me."


"Absolutely love it. I have a higher sex which is good for my husband lol would recommend"


"I am in the same boat as harley7373.  This ointment kept me up most of the night because it was burning my eyelids and it still is and it's been more than 12 hours since I put it on.  If you have very sensitive skin and always have, this may affect you the same exact way."


"I use Elavil for fibromyalgia...it has worked wonders for my sleep issues. My overall quality of life has dramatically increased simply because I am able to get the sleep I so needed and its helping with depression/anxiety. It works better than Ambien. My dose now is only 50 mg...so glad I tried this medicine. I am very scared of antidepressants due to a horrible reaction from Cymbalta but Elavil is an older medication and its chemical makeup is different than most of the newer SSRIs. I went from sleeping on average of 4 to 5 hours a night...now I can sleep 10 without ever waking up..literally something I haven't been able to do in 5 years. This medicine is the best medicine for me, and I've tried everything out there as I have had Fibro for 8 years."


"I've been on Epiduo for about a month. And yes, for the first week and a half, maybe 2 weeks, my skin was irritated and it burned when I put the gel on. However it subsides over time. Today when I put it, there is 0 irritation. Anyway, I had a breakout when I was started but right now, my skin is pretty clear and amazing compared to before. I do still get a few pimples here and then but nothing major and definitely not like anything compared to before. I will say that using Epiduo in the first month has its ups and downs. There'll be some days where you'll be like 'This isn't even helping!' But just wait it out."


"This doubles my heart rate, feel extremely nauseated, and like I'm bout to die"


"Day 1: felt a little "off"
Day 2: severe headache, neck pain and flu like feeling in shoulders. No medication has relieved this intense headache.

Pharmacist advised to discontinue immediately and call doctor for a different prescription tomorrow."


"I suffer from chronic bladder infections and before I discovered Lady Soma's Cranberry Supplements, I was at the doctor's office about every 3 months. I have been taking the Lady Soma Cranberry every day for about 6 months now and I have not had to go back to the doctor."


"My Bipolar II Disorder is horribly debilitating when my medications are not working or are in the middle of being adjusted.  However, when the depression and sleep problems (racing thoughts as soon as I lie down, interrupted sleep, not sleeping at all, etc.) are added to the mix, my life becomes completely unbearable.  As soon as my doctor gave me Nuvigil it was like I became myself again!  The difference was phenomenal.  I felt "normal."  It is a total miracle that I can get up and do the dishes, fold laundry, shop...all the simple things that so many people take for granted.  Nuvigil gives me the energy that Bipolar Disorder steals from me."


"Started using this after surgery due to constipation.  Worked great with no interaction. "


"I got this implant about 10 months ago as birth control. First of all, my doctor told me it was nonhormonal because that's what I want (it has hormones. she lied.). I've always had irregular periods, but after nexplanon they became constant and heavy. I get my period at a minimum of 3 weeks up max 3 months, and have at the most a week in between. My blood would be black sometimes- I don't think that's healthy.. My doctor refused to take it out and said I needed to give it more time, but I think this isn't working for me and from what I've read it does similar to other people. It does its job all right- I can't have a kid when I'm on my period all the time."


"I had a similar experience.  Tremors in hands (not really noticeable to someone watching unless they were looking for it), but relief from the delusions I was experiencing. My problem has been going on for over 16 years so I anticipate it will not magically disappear (and it didn't) but the clarity of thinking I experience with this medicine really helps me."


"I was given this to help my fibromyalgia pain, since all other medicines didn't work. Neither did this. "


"I went on a 4 day, 3 night cruise with my identical twin.  Both of us had previously taken Dramamine but neither of us liked it due to the sleepiness.  She bought some Bonine while I had my doctor write me a prescription for the back-ear sticker.  Both of us took our medicines 12 hours before getting on our plane.  I got tired while she enjoyed poking me and making fun. The back ear patch didnt work, because I got sick with in minutes of being on the ship.  My sister forced me to take the patch off and made me take the Bonine.  We had a great trip. We swear by Bonine and our family and friends love it too.  "


"So amazing. I have currently had the IUD Mirena for 3 years & recently realized how much I miss Microgestin Fe 1/20 & want it back in my life.
( recently I had a new guy complaining he can feel it)
 The Microgestin Pills had me with the finest body (lost weight); no acne, light/no periods, & no pregnancy. I would take it every day, on time (@ 3pm), until a nurse (funded by my [different] school health insurance) encouraged me to get the IUD because  you don't have to remember something every day,  it "prevents pregnancy better". That is why I switched. Yes, this pill me feel bad at first, but the nauseousness goes away. I want it back."


"This medicine was  magical! My husband and I were shocked how fast this medicine worked for our son who is 8 now. It literally worked over night we couldn't  even believe it. This medicine was life-changing for our family and such a great way. Three years  later he is still on it but he's on 3mg now because of his age and weight. The only problem I believe he did get from it was constipation. We have that under control now."


"I absolutely love NuvaRing. I came off Ortho Evra (patch) and switched to NuvaRing. It's ultra easy to insert and I forget about it being there honestly. I'm 20 years old so being super active with school, work.  My boyfriend can't feel it & it really helps us out because even if it does slip out during sex we can always slip it back in.  With three hours unprotected without the ring in; if we want to take it out; we can and still have protection.  I've lost weight; my moods are better; and my skin is clear.  I am so happy with Nuvaring.  I probably won't use another birth control ever."


"After my two total hip replacements I still have chronic pain due to having avascular necrosis. I rely on Celebrex to literally allow me to be able to walk. I received some samples in 2006 following my second surgery. My doctor at that time had enough samples so that I was taking them on a regular basis. Only after a short period without them did we realize to what extent they were helping me. I sincerely believe that I could not live a normal life without the Celebrex. It scares me to think that one day I may not be able to get it due to not being able to afford it. My co-pay is $60.00 for Celebrex every month and it is hard to do. I tell anyone I can what Celebrex has done for me, with absolutely no side effects."


"I found the right antidepressant (Pristiq) but had to deal with erectile dysfunction as a result.  Viagra worked but made my heart feel like it was going to explode after sex.  Nothing like that with Cialis and I'm back to enjoying sex again. Three thumbs up!"


"Had a bad nose bleed never had one in my life age 72"


"I've had HSV1 ever since I was 2. I had an outbreak then and again when I was 9 or 10. I'd forgotten that I even had the virus until a week ago. I got a new lip piercing and 3 days into the healing, my lip blistered. It had been 25 years since my last cold sore but I remembered what those blisters meant. I wasn't able to get to the doctor until two days later. By then, the blisters had broken open and were all crusted over. I took 2 of the Valtrex as soon as I got them and another 2, 12 hours later. Within a few hours the pain started going away. The terrible burning was gone. It's been 2 days since my last dose and my cold sore is in it's final healing stage. With the little scabs. My lip is flat again & the only pain is from the piercing."


"I have been prescribed Quetiapine for just over 2 weeks. I am on a low dose at the moment (50mg) daily and an extra 25mg if required for bad days. I have had years of depression, racing thoughts, suicidal thoughts, irrational behaviour patterns, manic episodes, extreme spending and impulsive major decisions. Although I have spent the last 12 years on anti-depressants, it is only very recently that the psychiatrist is treating me for bi-polar.
The first 10 days were magic, deep sleeps, vivid dreams and no more racing thoughts, I seemed to deal with things better, more rational with my thinking. IT was the best I have been for years and years. But the last few days I have cried a lot and been very depressed, self loathing and quite snappy."


"My OBGYN suggested I take this instead of Wellbutrin and Zoloft. It helped but not like the other two. I switched back as soon as I could."


"I have talked about quitting forever!
I attempted to quit countless times but this time with Chantix,I can finally say,I'm a non-smoker and it feels great! When I initially started the starter pack I chose a quit day.
That wasn't a good choice for me because I stressed a little more each day it got closer.So I chose to keep taking Chantix regularly and see what happens. On my 27th day I didn't smoke.(I didn't even sneak) No more spending half the time on our family vacations looking for a smoking section. Long story short, I haven't had a cigarette or wanted one in 23 days! My Kids & husband are so proud! I plan to take Chantix 1 more month. Thank you Chantix for helping me get my life back!!!"


"I am an ex-heroin user for over ten long years. After many trips to jail... trying to get sober cold turkey, relapsed over and over. I tried methadone for a couple years weaned off and relapsed again. After losing my mother and having a daughter of my own and another trip to detox I finally found Suboxone. Now clean for 2 and half years I'm coming off slowly. It's scary because I'm so used to being "on" something but its honestly worked the best for me. I would refer Suboxone to anyone ready to get their life back. Thanks Suboxone.. 2 and half years sober and counting."


"I  am 24 and have had med. level acne on my face for many years, and more recently on my shoulders. I started Accutane March 2016 at 20mg. Apr 30mg and next week -May 40mg. Symptoms in March; chapped lips, dry face, body aches, blurry vision, new oil pimples. April- My symptoms changed to; eyes sensitive to sunlight, heart burn with greasy foods, body aches, dryness, dry hair/split ends/thinner hair, and my skin has a slower healing process now so any pimples I have touched will stay for weeks. Also, I have noticed that on the days I do drink one gallon of water or more my symptoms go away. I also eat healthy and I try to take daily vitamins. Choose a reputable derm!"


"I was prescribed Dymista after getting a severe blocked nose caused by a cold. I used Dymista for a total of 3 days twice a day (as directed by my doctor) and have since lost my sense of taste and smell. It's been 2 days since I've stopped using the spray and still haven't restored my taste or smell. Freaking out that this might be permanent?! Nothing is worth losing your sense of smell and taste - this is a horrible feeling!!"


"Day 3 of Monodox: my acne is starting to clear up. I'm on 75mg 1x a day. Sinus stuffiness/drainage, diahrrhea, muscle weakness, and a headache when I run too hard. I've read really good things about this medicine, that's why I opted to fill my prescription. SUPER EXPENSIVE without insurance and a discount card my Dr gave me. Hope the side effects subside."


"I smoked for 41 yrs and tried to quit on my own no luck. I tried the patch ha ha I could have plastered my body in them and no luck. Could not use the gum as I lost 12 teeth in a horse accident but I tried Chantix and only got a little tense a few times  but it made it so easy for me. I gave been tobacco free 2 yrs in February. Thank you Chantix."


"I have been on multiple medications to help me sleep, however, this one has had the most adverse reactions than any other medication. Experienced quite a few neurological effects from this medication while trying to fall asleep.  Also, along with that I was experiencing quite an increase in my cardiac arrhythmia, SVT. "


"I used to take one 3mg Lunesta a night before bed.  Worked beautiful.  Now... nothing.  Anyone else experience this?"


"I was dignosed in 2004 with RRMS. After several tries with meds, tysabri was the best. I have been on it now since 2008. MRI comes back no progression lesions seem to be shrinking. I love tysabri it does however make me more fatigue for up to two days after infusion and for the week prior to infusion."


"I had my nexplanon removed after 2 years. It worked amazingly and I didn't get pregnant. However, I've gained 30 pounds and that's why I removed it before the time. When I first got it, I was spotting a lot and then my period was abnormal. I could go 4 months without it but then I would get it again. The period irregularlity didn't bother me but the weight gain made me depressed. I go to the gym and don't eat too horrible. I'd never gone over my usual weight of 160 but now I'm at 200. I gained 10 pounds within the first year and the other 20 this past year. It was definitely worth it because I didn't want to risk getting pregnant but I'm at my weight limit. It's not worth me feeling this way. & I got my period 4 days after the removal!"


"I have been depressed for 12 years. Throughout my life I've contemplated suicide, I had paranoid thoughts, and had very little self esteem. I have been on and off multiple antidepressants and couldn't find one that made me feel like myself again. Finally, when I started to experience severe mood swings and found myself becoming angry for no reason to the people I loved, I decided I should try to get help once again. My doctor started me on Brintellix and it has helped me so much. Fortunately, I don't experience any side effects.  My mood is elevated, I'm gaining my confidence back, I'm more motivated, and most importantly I feel like myself again. I'm taking 10mg currently and find no need to go to a higher dose. The only downfall is the cost"


"It simply didn't work, didn't have any impact on my having to wake up 2-3 times every night to urinate.  Doctor discontinued it to try something else."


"I feel good after taking levaquin because I feel the medicine is working. I was being cured. I admit that it is expensive but it is worth it. It really works!"


"A God send for my untreatable insomnia. Only side effect that prevents me from taking it more often is the testosterone suppressing effect. I spend a lot of time working out and eating right and noticed my strength and body composition, took a very noticeable nose dive a few months after starting on it. I have used 1-2 mg nightly for almost a year. On the plus side, it has helped me get the deep restorative sleep I struggle to get."


"I couldn't tell much of a difference, but I didn't take it consistently."


"* 3 Month Update* Got my Kyleena IUD on 7/17/17, so far its been great. I have had one issue with it. It was moved during sex one night and caused severe cramps for about 10 mins, had to take 2 extra strength Tylenol to even touch the pain. Slept off the pain and was fine the next day, called my doctor to ask about the experience and she said I was caused from the position during sex and it is something that can happen. I am currently near my next cycle time, I haven't had any bleeding but I am super tired and achey. My last period was light spotting for about a 12 days, no cramps. So far its been great."


"Its my third night, 6th application and the results are significant. I have a mild textbook case of Rosacea but everything is relative. To me its terrible. I've been treating Rosacea like it was acne for years until I finally found a Dermatologist, who knows what she is doing. After 3 nights my face has cleared up dramatically and some of my pigmentation issues are getting better as well. So far, so good. Hopefully it will continue.  I am going to have a LightPodNeo laser treatment as well to compliment the Finacea.. The Doctor recommended waiting until 6 weeks of the Finacea treatment was completed before having the laser treatment. She said laser can exacerbate the Rosacea if not done properly and at the right time."


"I have been on this pill for 6 months and have had a very positive experience. I was scared to try this pill because of some of the bad reviews but decided to anyway. I have not experienced any of the crazy side effects that some say they have.
The only major side effect I have is my breasts have grown a size, which I am not mad about. In the first month or so I noticed a couple pounds of weight gain, (I am pretty petite so I was a little worried) but I kept aware of my eating habits, and my weight went back to normal quickly. My skin has cleared up drastically, though I often get a pimple or 2 during the off week.

This may not be for everyone, but it's been great for me.

And it's free."


"I've been taking 20mg of Focalin XR for the past 2 years and have experienced great improvement in mental function and all around health. Focalin has allowed me to focus and be aware of a situation. I have been more efficient at work, more aware of my health and wellbeing, and able to process situations more appropriately. My biggest complaint has been with sleep patterns. Some nights I can sleep 6 hours or I can sleep for 14 and I CAN NOT fall asleep right away. My FitBit has mixed reports, but they are questionable. This is something I have tried to "tweak" with my doctor, but we have not had any success. My second complaint is nausea, but that we have been able to tweak with food consumption and timing."


"I started taking 150 mg XL 2 weeks ago. (generic bupropion XL) Initial side effects were rapid heart beat in the evenings on occasion and insomnia. (I take 0.5 mg Xanax to sleep 1 pill each night) Still eating like normal but more conscious of healthy weight goals.  Little anxious driving and a little more self conscious, but I feel better emotionally and am able to focus better. Not so harsh with my 12 year old or co workers.  Able to step back for a few seconds and asses instead of reacting.  So far the positives for me outweigh the side effects.  Hopefully will get better in a couple weeks. I believe the pharmacy report stated 4-6 weeks for full effect."


"My anxiety got to the point where treatment wasn't an option, I had to try something. I gave Lexapro a chance. Its been good for me. The drug has slowed down my anxiety. I feel less anxious around people and in general I feel like my internal monologue has slowed down a bit. I've noticed when I'm around people I'm less reactive whereas before I was jumpy and unsettled.

I am on 10mg. About a decade ago I tried zoloft and effexor both with mixed results. Currently I take Lexapro and Adderall. It seems to be a good combo for me. There have been some side effects. My sleep is disrupted at times, I have trouble reaching orgasm and sometimes I feel a bit lethargic. This drug is working well for me, I hope it continues to be effective."


"I am nausea-prone. Took Emend for 8 months of a potent cocktail of infused chemo - with NO nausea at all! This medicine is a God send, its only downside is the high cost."


"I was put on Complera as a study patient prior to Complera being approved. I went on the drug just before it was approved by the FDA last year. All I can say is that Complera is a MIRACLE. I have had ZERO side effects! I can only say how blessed I feel to have been given the opportunity to participate in the study. I have been on Complera over a year now can second what other reviewers have said. This medication has allowed HIV not to affect my life. I was completely undetectable in two months after starting the medicine, and my CD4 and CD4% have steadily gone up. I can only say to Gilead, THANK YOU!"


"After being on the pill for 8 months, the side effects were too much for me to handle, so I gave up on all birth control and went back to just using condoms. After a recent condom scare, I started looking into other forms of BC, and my doctor recommended skyla, as I have never given birth before. The insertion is definitely an uncomfortable and painful experience, but the initial pain itself only lasts for maybe 2 minutes. The night afterwards I had terrible cramps, and my heating pad was my best friend. I have now had it in for a month, and I will say that I absolutely love it. VERY light spotting a fews days, and a few cramps here and there, but nothing I couldn't handle. My period is almost nonexistant now too! Definitely suggest it!"


"After spinal surgery I was having shock life pain and tingling in my hands and feet all the time. After about a month on Lyrica that pain had calmed down and I was sleeping much better. I do feel somewhat sleepy when I take it but nothing too out of control. I hope I can cut it out in a few months as I hate to be in any medication very long."


"Love it! The first two weeks were horrible and it felt like I had the flu without the cold symptoms. I am now into my 3rd week on this medicine and I feel great. If you can get past the first 2-3 weeks of side effects it is well worth your while. I love it. I feel so great. I'm yet to feel the full on effects of this medicine and I can't wait for it."


"I bought Monistat 7 for my yeast infection. The first night I applied the cream. At first everything was, but once i laid down I felt a bad itching sensation in my genital area. The feeling gradually starting growing. I was miserable. I assumed that the medicine was probably getting all the yeast out. Later it not only itched but started to burn. I was almost in tears. The next night I used it, everything was fine. Now I'm on my fourth night. There's a very light itch but bearable"


"Well i guess overall it accomplished the goal of not getting pregnant. But i have been bleeding for 80% of 14 months!!! It ranges from "oh my god! I need a transfusion to damnit, more clothes ruined" mood is slingshotting & im completely over this entire thing. I just removed it two days ago & am bleeding through super plus tampons in less than an hour. Not worth it."


"I have had relationship centered OCD as long as I can remember, centering around the most important people in my life. I finally made the steps to seek out help and was prescribed 10mg of escitalopram about a month ago. I was worried about taking a medication that I feared would alter the way I think (but that's the point I guess!) but figured that I had been living with obsessive and intrusive thoughts for about 15 years, so I might as well try it. Wow. I feel so wonderful all the time. When I get intrusive thoughts, it is much easier to brush off because I don't feel crippling anxiety; I feel like I can think more clearly about what is rational and what isn't. I had no side effects and feel like now I can enjoy life better."


"My Dr. gave me some 60 mg Dexilant samples to try while I undergo testing for suspected gastritis or other conditions. I've never been on any other PPI before, and had no idea what to expect. After only ONE dose, my stomach felt like it had a huge heavy lump in it, I was constantly thirsty, my urine output was little, I felt constantly hungry, it made me very gassy, and I had anxiety. My digestive system felt wonky for a few days as the Dexilant worked its way out. I would not recommend this product to anyone, but I do realize it does help some people."


"Actually this is the most breakthrough med in this space that has been in a long time. There are a few post on here stating that there is a “euphoric blocker”, when in fact that is completely false. It is the exact same molecule as Oxy people...just it has the best abuse deterrent on the market. And for it or lasting for you 12 hours can be a variety of things. Your metabolism, body weight, etc. Everyone body processes meds differently.
“No long term effects” have not been studied because it’s only been on the market for less than 2 years...not a strong argument. Look at the long term effects that on the oxy I’m assuming you want to be switched back too. Again SAME MOLECULE!"


"I am on forteo for two months. I am not sure if my T score has improved since I haven't taken a BD test yet. However, I have experience many side effects with forteo: 5 min after injection (which I hate), I start feeling tremendous pain at the lowe part of my spine. I found out that I can aleviate this pain by moving around (walking fast) for 15 min. I also discovered a very bad interaction with alcohol. Even a small glass of sangria during dinner, had as a result the development of an extreme pain after injection and inability to move for 45 min. Recently, I have also experienced a similar problem when I was on azythromycin for some mouth infection....Other symptoms I have 2 h after injection are flu-kind symptoms, shivering, insomnia"


"This inhaler works very quickly to open airways."


"The worst experience I ever have. I got pregnant with this thing and it almost kill me It was a ectopic pregnancy, It make me sick I went to the emergency room with a horrible pain, they did a surgery but did not remove the whole baby. It made me suffer for weeks!"


"I went to a local clinic to treat Urticaria and was given 60mg of prednisone on my cheek. It had no effect on my body and the symptoms even got worse.
Then my doctor recommended to take Benadryl (H1 blocker) and Zantac (H2 blocker) altogether. I took both pills and it made me extremely drowsy (Benadryl) and Zantac actually alleviated my symptoms just a little bit.
I woke up next morning and found out that Urticaria has come back.
Then someone recommended me to take the Allegra (Fexofenadine 180mg) and it really works without any side-effects of drowsiness.
I think Fexofenadine is god given allergy medicine. I tried Benadryl, Zyrtec and Claritin before. Their effectiveness on Urticaria is far less than Allegra."


"Just started taking this medicine.  Had the flu and at then end of the 5 day flu, started a head cold.  Couldn't sleep for a few nights due to cough.  Only woke up 3 times tonight (once to pee and twice due to coughing).  Just took my second dose and will go back to sleep.  Was prescribed codeine, with no help at all.  Was told this is called liquid gold- they weren't kidding.  Very grateful my pharmacist mentioned this to me then I told my Doctor."


"I used to use Depo-Provera for about 8 years.  I have two girls 13 and 7.  I decided to change to Mirena with our busy schedule so that I don't have to keep coming in every 3 months for a shot.  The first 24 hours of cramping was not pleasant.  But as with Depo-Provera I have continued to not have a period and no weight gain for me.  I strongly recommend for anyone with a busy family life who wants good birth control, if you didn't get your tubes tied."


"I've been on this medicine for 3 years and it works wonderful for my blood pressure. It only made my potassium low but now I take potassium pills for that. I have a good doctor thank God."


"This medication was very effective in clearing the severe acne."


"Okay, so I have been on the Nexplanon for almost fourteen months, and let me tell you, it has been THE WORST almost fourteen months of my life. Not only have I had extreme bleeding issues the WHOLE TIME, but I have also re gained weight that I previously lost. Now, back to the bleeding issue. About two months after I got this implant placed in my arm, that is when the bleeding decided to start. I thought that it was just a normal period....until six straight months went by and I was still bleeding heavily. I went to the emergency room at least three or four times within the past fourteen months, and all the doctors told me was that it was a normal period. I am getting this taken out tomorrow.!!!!"


"I've been on lexapro for about a year - finally went on something after waiting way too long.  It works well, and I definitely feel better, but I'm not sure it's the best medication for the costs/side effects vs benifits.  I had problems with my menstrual cycle and it was making me physically ill.  I had to switch to a different BCP to get it straightened out.   I also think that I need a higher dose than 10mg.  It is helping, but I don't know if it's helping enough."


"Prescribed for GAD. On .5 mg for a month. Constant yawning. Teeth grinding. Heavy head. Foggy. Zombie-like. Gained 9 lbs in the first month. Terrible!!! Terrifying! Took myself off without weaning and was violently sick for a week. Never again."


"I was just prescribed Adipex today (FINALLY). Long story short - I was about 30 pounds overweight in 2002 when my husband was deployed to the war. I decided t use that time to LOSE WEIGHT. I got the meds, and in 5 months I had already lost 55  pounds! I was thrilled. I wouldn't send my husband a photo of me, because I wanted to surprise him. Boy was he! He stopped in his tracks and mouthed %u1E84OW Then three years later I got a brain tumor. The cancer medications, and the steroids that I had to take to try to control the tumor, made me GAIN it all back PLUS another 45 pounds! (Plus I lost my hair). Well fast forward about 8 years, I have lost 55 lbs. Doc prescribed Adipex to help get the rest off! Wish me luck!"


"I have been taking this medication for about a year.  It puts me to sleep every night about 15 minutes after I have taken it.  I do have dreams which I hadn't had in years, they are not bad nightmares, just dreams about my stresses of life.  I feel so much better now that I take it, I wake up feeling great and ready to jump into my workout programs and life.  Before Lunesta I was tired, groucy, hard to get along with, now that I am catching up on my lost sleep of many years I feel wonderful!"


"Wish I had read these comments before starting this pill! I switched to it from LoLoestrin FE because I was bleeding every two weeks. And now I wish I hadn't...literally 2 days in, I broke out with HORRIBLE deep, cystic acne. I'm now about to finish my first pack and it hasn't subsided in the slightest. Worse than puberty and all my teen years combined. I used to never wear any kind of foundation or facial makeup, now I can't leave without it on because I'm so embarrassed. I only gave 3 bars because it did help my period...no cramping and it came when it was supposed to."


"This medication made me yawn frequently. After two months, I didn't notice any improvement in my mood but my jaw was killing me from yawning and clenching my teeth which I don't normally do. My friends and family also pointed out that I seemed more irritable and more likely to snap or be short tempered."


"After one injection I experienced swelling of hands and feet. My blood pressure elevated by more than 50 #.

Praulent researchers said I had an autoimmune reaction and that it all would pass as the Praulent left my system. After 8 months I still have the High blood pressure.

I am currently being checked for Vasculitis as the result of my autoimmune reaction."


"So I started breaking out a lot!!!! Chin and my cheeks. I have so many scars. My makeup won't even cover it.I went to my derm and she prescribed me tretinoin .25% and clindamycyn1%. I saw improvement in 2 weeks then after that my face has been so bad! I look like a Brooklyn pizza! It's hideous. I no longer have self esteem. I went back to derm and she gave me medication and .50%tretinoin. I'm on month two and my face just peels. I still break out and my acne scars are still there. I'm loosing hope... When I put makeup on over the dry peeling patches it makes it look worse. I'm just done with this medication. I will keep using it until month 3 like the derm said I would see improvement. I'm so depressed looking at my face in the mirror !!!"


"Love this one! The previous BC I was on gave me a terrible experience. Extremely moody, made me gain weight and just did more bad than good overall. Started this one and I LOVE IT! My skin hasn't looked this great in idk how long. Haven't noticed any sorts of mood effects and no weight gain. My insurance also completely covers it!"


"I started the medicine and didn't have any side effects for up to three days, but after the third day the side effects hit me big time.  I was sick to my stomach, and I had vomiting.  I didn't have a problem with the taste of the pill, I just threw it in the back of my throat and chugged some juice to make it go away really quickly.  My infection seems to have cleared up, after the first two days.  No discharge, or itching.  Haven't had intercourse yet to see if the discomfort was gone but will make another review when that happens.  Great medicine!"


"I have been on a lot of different medications for Depression. Some were awful and terrible, while others were ok or tolerable, and there was even one where I thought that was as good as it's going to get. I was on that a long time. Then, my doctor suggested this. Wow! I can think clearly!! It's definitely a great medication. I have yet to see side effects and I've been taking it for about 6 months."


"I'm so thankful for tramadol. It takes away my chronic low back, jaw and stomach pain completely away and I'm able to finally live a normal and active pain free life again. It also helps with my depression and anxiety which is very much appreciated added bonus. I just take 50 mg twice a day and works great. I'm very happy with this medication."


"Yasmin is a life saver in saving me from getting pregnant during my relationship with my boyfriend."


"In 1999 the doctor gave me Percocet for avascular necroses of the knees and also have a really bad disc (the lowest) on my back that is bad and sends pain down my leg. I also have rotator cuff issues. In 2014 I started needing more oxy so I went up to 120mg a day, and then at night the coming down from it was awful, with more pain than there actually was because withdrawal starts very soon after it wears off. I was switched to methadone 20mg a day (liquid 5mg 4x a day). It's a miracle. No psychological issues I am finally my happy self again and a 85% decrease in pain. Maybe if I went up to 30mg a day it would be 95%. but TAKE EXACTLY AS DIRECTED, I guess it can be very dangerous if you don't."


"I just started Week 4 of Seasonique and I have to say that I'm very pleased. I was supposed to start my period today and (thank goodness) there's no sign of it. So far, I haven't experienced any breakthrough bleeding either. My skin is looking better too. I may have fallen victim to a couple of mood swings at the beginning, BUT I've always been a moody female so I don't think anyone knew the difference. Plus, I think I might start gaining weight. The number on the scale hasn't changed, but I sort of feel bloated and flabby."


"I have been bleeding constantly, to the point I can't even have sex. It's like I'm constantly on my period I am switching as soon as I get the chance!!"


"Effective for mild pain, not very effective for more moderate to severe pain."


"Ugh, I took this med and it made my heart race so fast.
My pulse rate went up to 116.
this medication might work for some people who have ptsd,
but it definitely is no good for blood pressure unfortunately."


"After applying the eye drops I experienced burning and itching in my eyes that lasts for about five minutes and then subsides. I don't know if this is something that should keep me from using it or not. I use it in the morning about 30 minutes before putting in my contacts, (Only when I need it though)."


"Idk why I continue to waste my money trying abreva. I put it on at the first sign of a cold sore. And I've been applying it as recommended, well. My cold sore is still progressing at the same rate that it would have I not used abreva. Its too expensive. I won't try it again."


"It was great. After two days I felt fine - I was groggy after the first dose, but then I was groggy before I took it so the grogginess could have just been the flu.  The only drawback is Tamiflu is very expensive and my insurance didn't cover it."


"My doctor suggested I take this medicine. I was a what you could say was a functioning, depressed person. I tried Effexor SR and after a week felt better but in 3 weeks time a 9 lb weight gain. I think that I would continue this medicine if not for the huge weight gain."


"I have had insomia for months. Dr started me on Elavil 10mg for sleep, within a half hour I'm a sleep. I have not slept this good in a long time. I am not a zombie either in the mornings. I feel very good when I awake. Best thing."


"I was nauseous and in pain for 3 months straight couldn't hold anything down at all. Dr could not figure out what was wrong, I lost 70lbs in that three months from not eating anything but applesauce and water. Two years ago I was diagnosed with GERD acid reflux and a hiatus hernia, still with the meds they put me on I was unable to hold food down maybe toast rice water etc. Finally my Dr introduced me to promethazine, it has been my best friend I take it probably 3 to 4 times a week and everytime within 30~40min it works fabulous. I would recommend it to anyone who has nauseous/vomiting issues."


"I went to the ER after a diverticulitis flare-up with severe abdomonal pain.  Was given Dilaudid and Phenergen through an IV and the pain went away almost instantly!!  The combination of the two worked wonders but only lasted for a couple of hours."


"I took Tysabri for about 4 1/2 years and had no problem.  My biggest complaint was that it made my hair thin and fall out.  But, my feelings have completely changed.  The reason I originally went off of Tysabri was to try to have a baby.  Now that I know what I know, I would have stopped using Tysabri as soon as possible.  I am 35 years old and have to have a total hip replacement because of taking Tysabri.  A side effect of Tysabri is Avascular necrosis, which killed the top of my femor bone.  So, now I have to have a total hip replacement. This is absolutely horrible for me because I am such an active person who loves working out.  I will have a hard time going back on any drug after this."


"My 9 yr old son is on this medicine for pain and for him it doesn't work at all."


"My 78 year old mom we have bin taking her to the doctors for the last 5 months with what we thought was or doctors thought were UTI's no its yeast, no its bladder, no just lots of sugar in the urine but she's not eating sugar. Yesterday the doctor called me to say stop giving her Invokana she was urinating every 10 min and so called infections she's had for 5 months couldn't believe it. No body could figure it out I told them she's dehydrated he looked at her today and said yes .This was yesterday"


"I'd been on OxyContin for 10 yrs prior to Fentenyl Patch 50mg.  After relocating to FL  I have found securing Oxy suppy spotty. At best-never knowing from mo to mo whether it was going to be available-driving to 5-6 pharmacies(no info given via phone)& maybe only getting 1/2 my pills.  Solution was to switch to Fentenyl which isn't as effective-I now use much more hydracodon for breakthrough pain, plus dispensing of Patch is erratic = first night of the 72 hrs I'm wide awake & by last 24 hrs relief is very weak.  Constant problem in FL heat of patch staying adhered.  Until FL lightens its restrictions on acquiring Oxy, the Patch will have to do(this is my 3rd yr with Fentenyl)."


"I was diagnosed with major depression and anxiety almost 20 years ago. Before I was on Cymbalta, I was on Zoloft for about 8 years and it had the dreaded developed tolerance effect (it gradually stopped working). I was then put on Cymbalta, which worked great for about another 8 years. Then the break-through symptoms started again, so my doctor suggested I go up (from 60 mg/day) to 90 mg a day. And although this worked great for managing the anger, irritability and anxiety, I completely lost my libido and any ability whatsoever to have an orgasm. I am back down to 70 mg/day and having to augment with Buspar. Still having anger and irritability, however."


"I am 20 years old, never been pregnant and got the Paragard last year. Insertion was painful but bearable and I was sore for a day or two after. I love how low-maintenance it is and that it lasts so long and doesn't use hormones but ever since I've gotten it inserted, my periods have been longer, heavier, and crampier. Doctor said that for some people, it may go back to normal after about 4-6 months but my periods have remained pretty annoying. I love IUDs but not so much the Paragard. Thinking about switching to Skyla."


"I'm still on my first pack. I got it for irregular periods and for birth control. My boyfriend says my moods are way worse than they ever were before and my mood swings are pretty bad sometimes. Plus when I did have my period before it lasted a week tops now its like 2 weeks and spotting even a week or two after or before. But it never made me sick like my friends and I didn't get any rashes."


"I have tried both Viagra and Cialis. Both have their pro's and con's. I get a better and more constant erection with Viagra. But it took over an hour to start working. The 10mg dose lasted about 4 hours but there was some residual effects afterwards. Cialis started working after about 30 mins and it really carries on for a good 24-36hrs, but the quality of the erection wasn't as good. I suffered with the snuffles with both. I got a headache only with Viagra but it wasn't a bad one though."


"I had experienced stress-induced migraines from work for years... truly agonizing...

Once I discovered beta-blockers, I studied them for quite a while, and over time I correlated the migraines to a surge of catecholamines resulting from stressors acting on the fight or flight response mechanism, which operates via catecholamine release in the brain.

Bottom line, 20 - 40 mg a day has completely eradicated the migraines."


"A little background: I am 23, and prior to starting the medication I struggled to lose weight one or two pounds a month and would always immediately gain back. I started Phen. 37.5 On October 9, 2015 with a starting weight of 226.8 and just had my first weight check at doc on November 13, 2015 and I am now 210.3! I have been doing very light exercise 45 minutes 2x a week and have cut out fast food, still eat pretty much the same foods however with a focus on portion control, and the only beverage I consume is water sometimes adding in a sugar free drink packet.  The only side effect I have experienced is really dry mouth but I have uped my water intake to combat that. I typically take the pill at 8:45am so that it doesn't effect my sleep."


"I have been on victoza since 02/2012 and so far I have lost 24lbs. I have not experienced any nausea or headaches and I really don't have an appetite at all. My numbers are really good and I feel great!"


"I have been taking oxycodone for almost a year now for severe back pain. Not only did they not work, but the side effects were terrible!  Really bad constipation and dry mouth so I had to get two other prescriptions for those. Back in June, I was admitted to the ER locally, and at first they gave me morphine after they figure it out that it was acute pancreatitis. Right before the ambulance came to take me down to the VA Hospital in Pittsburgh, they gave me dilaudid  in the IV and within 10 minutes the pain was pretty much gone. So they continued me on it while I was in the hospital and afterwards for my back pain. It's been the only thing that has helped with both. oxycodone and morphine have no real effect on my pain."


"Worst medication ever! I took a small dose of 50 mg at bedtime and it gave me the WORST sugar cravings and made me eat uncontrollably!! I took seroquel for 9 months and gained 40 pounds. Do not take this medication it destroyed my health!"


"Stops the hunger craze..have lost 20 lbs in 3 mths..no side effects..best wt.loss drug i have tried."


"I applied this product last night so I'm still in the process - however - these reviews are terrifying. I popped in the ovule and applied the cream. I was a little itchier for the next hour or so, but if I didn't move much it was bearable. It started to subside & I went to bed maybe 3 or 4 hours later. Woke up this am and I am so much better! I just survived my workday and had no discomfort! So - this was my first time with a yeast infection or monistat product and so far I am impressed - and most importantly not a single ounce of burning or pain. I only wish everyone had the same experience!"


"I can't tolerate Xanax and this works very well for me."


"I'm on 200 mg of Zoloft and it has changed my life!"


"I found the needle extremely thick and the injection painful, some even bled. .  After several weeks I began to get one to two lumps at every injection site.  These lumps were red warm and extremely itchy. I contacted my physician who lanced one site on my leg. Needless to say I am no longer a Bydureon user."


"I was prescribed Renexa to increase blood flow in preparation for a heart cath. Heart cath showed no heart disease.
Upon taking Renexa, by the 2nd day I  observed that my Fibromyalgia pain was completely gone! My cardiologist said they have seen cases where it has helped with fibromyalgia. He said I absolutely could continue with Renexa for fibromyalgia. I have not taken a single pain pill since!"


"I was prescribed this for a nasty spider bite that got infected. The infection started getting better after one day but the nausea is 24/7. I could hardly eat anything and had trouble sleeping because of the horrible feeling in my stomach. Was prescribed 2 pills a day for 10 days. The pills were large."


"I'm with this medication about 3 months in the beginning gave me diarrhea but after 2 week everything was good again the only complaint is I can't miss  even one dose"


"I have had depression for most of my life and had been taking Zoloft for about 7 years after I had my first child, recently felt it wasn't working as well anymore so I talked to my doctor and they suggested this.Took it for 6 weeks but had to stop. I know everyone is different, but for me it made my depression worse, I started having mood swings, anger issues, crying over everything, panic attacks, around the 2nd week I developed a cough, No other symptoms. When the cough persisted for about 2 1/2 weeks I went back to doc and they prescribed me antibiotics. Completed those, still had cough, then I had panic attacks 2 days in a row so I stopped taking the trintellix, as soon as I did, the cough was gone. definitely don't recommend this med"


"I have suffered from migraines for over 20 years. I experienced about 6 or more a month. They would last 3 days in bed, vomiting with multiple trips to ER. I have been taking Propranolol for 3 years now with much success. I still sometimes experience menstrual migraines but they are less severe and controlled with Ibuprofen.  In addition, I suffered from anxiety which I no longer have. I do suffer from cold feet and hands all the time and unexplained weight gain (20lbs). I would recommend this for migraine treatment, I feel I got my life back."


"I found this by literally searching on google why am I feeling depressed and crying everyday! I started the pill 3 weeks ago and can't say how miserable it has made me feel."


"I've been on pretty much every antidepressant. SSRI's do nothing for my depression. The only other medication that helped was Wellbutrin, but I stopped that due to not being able to sleep at all.
I started on 5 mg then increased to 10 mg 2 weeks later. It has helped my depression the most and I have more energy. The side effects are what make me hate taking this. I've experienced nausea, vomiting, constipation, and decreased sexual desire. The worst though is the nausea. I'm nauseous every time I take it, doesn't matter if I eat with it or not. If I don't eat before I take it then I vomit. This medication is also expensive, it's not covered by my insurance."


"42 y.o. took half from a 50mg pill . Slightly smooth headache but worked like a charm in less than 15 mins without food and after a night out with drinks ..."


"My son was diagnosed with ADHD (predominantly inattentive) two years ago. I tried to all kinds of non-medication treatments: tutors, 504 Plan, psychotherapy, meditation, Omega-3, diet, patience, love, encouragement, bribery... everything I could think of, but his grades continued to decline.
He was finally prescribed 18mg of Concerta. By the end of the 1st week he was acing his tests and his teacher said she finally has a student to teach and not just a body. The change is amazing. Slight decrease in appetite and the first couple of days it affected his sleep. Other than that, no side-effects."


"Excellent medicine with little or no side-effects. I use it and highly recommend it."


"I suffered with a torn disc which eventually lost all the fluid at L5. So then I am left with a disc bulging way into the nerve, horribly painful. I dealt with it on my own for 8 months before going to the doctor. About a month after all the X-rays and MRI and shots and incorrect medicines they gave me Lortab... it was instant relief. They gave me 2 a day of 5 mg, that helped but wasn't enough. So I had a back fusion. The Norco works great. If the proper dosage is determined at onset it works wonders."
