"I personally believe The Z-Pak should be the #1 Drug Prescribed on the Market if you need to maintain your Health FAST & be yourself again. I seem to be prone to Strep Throat, Severe Sinustitis & Resp. Infections in the Fall & Winter. A couple of years ago I was 'Due to have Surgery in 6 Days' and was told "if I was sick I would have to Postpone it". Well after waiting a month for this Surgery, planning a Home & Dog Sitter & Time off from work 'working it in with everyone else's Schedules, to me it was Imperative I be well enough 4 all to go as planned'. "5 day Z-Pac was prescribed". It is a no nonsense drug and I can not think of a single side effect. I was well enough for surgery to go on as planned. "


"Started taking lisinopril over a month and a half ago%u2026  at first I noticed the dry cough, but I also noticed that my blood pressure has gone down to within normal levels.  I was initially happy with the results, but then I started noticing some serious sexual dysfunction. I was unable to achieve or maintain an erection, and I never had this problem before in my life.  I quit taking it for a week or so and then I noticed my libido was back to its normal levels. Started taking it again, and then noticed that I was unable to have erections, maintain them, and I had absolutely no sex drive. Needless to say, I am a sexually active adult male, and I cannot live this way, neither can my wife. I stopped taking lisinopril again, and will talk to Dr about another one"


"Hey guys, I just want to let all of you who are stressing like crazy that everything is gonna be okay, I had a crazy pregnancy scare with my girlfriend 2 weeks ago, and like a couple of others here I promised that if that pill worked I'd post a review here. Well as you can probably tell the news was good. My girlfriend was a few days before her period from our assumption. It was really hard to tell due to her having irregular periods, but from the second that I saw the condom had broken I went and bought plan B. She took it roughly an hour after and it worked. Not before it could drive us insane however. The waiting game for her period was the most stressful situation of my life. But it was all okay in the end and I'm sure it will be for u"


"I switched to bunuvail like most people because my insurance stopped paying for my suboxone. I have been on subs for a year. The bunuvail does what it's supposed to as far as keeping me from having cravings. The only bad thing about it in my opinion is I hate how long it takes to dissolve and it tastes terrible to me. But it does what it's made to do"


"I haven't experienced any of the negative side-effects (admittedly it hasn't been very long, but supposedly the first three months are worst). I have noticed less intense period cramps and decreased flow, which is nice. I guess I'm one of the lucky people that doesn't get the negative effects, or at least they aren't any more noticeable than regular stress. I am getting it through my college health center, so it's cheaper as well."


"Amazing relief!"


"Prozac is a wonderful medicine. I started on it 1 year ago and took it for about 4 months and stopped because I was feeling great. Depression returned and I am on it again. I felt difference in a few hours after taking the first pill! Prozac made me feel like a happy person again. All my worries and obsessive thoughts faded away. They are there in the back of my head but they are only as thoughts nothing to worry about every minute of my life. It works great for me!"


"I got the Implanon almost three years ago and I'm sad that I have to have it taken out soon. I never once got a period while on it, no weird food cravings or headaches and I've actually lost 50 pounds while on it! I am having a new one put right in after they take this one out. "


"I've been on 500mg 2x/day for 5 years. Keppra controlled the seizures immediately the day I started it but I did experience extreme drowsiness and can sleep for days. People always told me I looked tired and knew I was always sleepy. I also got very moody and am easily irritated to the point where no one wants to be around me. I didn't think that it could be linked to the medication until now. It's a terrible feeling but it does control the seizures."


"Honestly I've dealt with urine infections all my life and this is by far the worst antibiotic EVERRRRRRRRR . From the moment I started taking them I had constant headaches , nausea and etc . not recommanded at all"


"I've been on this birth control for about three or four months now. My doctor prescribed it because I was getting to the point where I was sexually active frequently and she said this one was good, and it is! for pregnancy prevention, at least. But, it has a few downsides. This medication makes me very prone to panic attacks, mood swings, and depressed states. When I start a new pack, I always get a little nauseous and  I bloat easily. It's very on and off for period regulation. Sometimes I'm light, sometimes heavy, sometimes no period at all. That being said, my acne is gone and I'm not pregnant and my cramping is minimal. Does it's job, but not for everybody."


"I've been on Abilify seems forever. It did work well except for my sleep. So I began Latuda 4 weeks ago and so far my sleep is really improved and so has my moods. I haven't had any side effects except for the sexual one, which they all seem to take away from that. Highly recommend Latuda. Very expensive though. "


"I am 55 years of age and have primary Raynaud's. Onset was at about age 45 and for many years I just wore multiple pairs of gloves and used hand warmers when out in cold weather, or avoided cold weather activity. I finally asked my doctor about medication when it became difficult to even grocery shop in the freezer section or go to stores and restaurants that were very cool. I was tired of wearing gloves in the summer! I have taken nifedipine for about nine months (all winter) and it has been great. No side effects to report and even notice that I have a better sense of touch when feeling for pulses (I am a nurse)."


"I have suffered with severe menstrual migraines for 25+ years to the point where I fantasize about amputating my head.  I was on Imitrex (made me very sleepy), Relpax (worthless) , generic (even worse). Maxalt is my go to medicine. Unfortunately its a fight with the insurance company to get regular refills. They are trying to force me to take a generic. I used to get 12 tablets and they changed it to 9- which 9 is not enough. When I run out I cannot help but pray for the day I get a refill fearing I will get a migraine before that time. When the refill day comes, I stalk my pharmacy on the phone until it is ready. Ugh...talk about "drug-seeking" !"


"The reason I decided for getting this shot was to stop my periods because they are extremely heavy and I get such painful cramps I can't walk or eat for days. I got my first shot October 15, 2015 and the first month was awesome! It stopped my period the same day and I had no weight gain, no spotting, NOTHING. Then November rolled around and I started to get very light, super bright pink spotting on the occasion but didn't think much of it. That was until a little over a week later when the bleeding got worse and HAS NOT STOPPED SINCE! It has become a full on period every single day for 2 months straight. I called the local clinic and they said there is nothing they can do to help stop the bleeding. I am annoyed that I wasted my money on this"


"Seroquel at 37.5mg does help with sleep. But be mindful this is not a drug to take in the morning. I have been reading reviews on here where people are taking this drug in the morning. You are going to sleepy and sluggish. Do not do it. A low does of anything under 50mg will help you sleep. Anything over that and you will be tired the day and sluggish."


"I'm 55/ male and recently experienced a seizure during a visit at an MD clinic upon falling from the cart I was on and striking my head, I then had a subsequent episode two weeks later. I was started on Keppra 500mg twice daily, It has now been almost a week and since starting my appetite has tanked, I have had profound anxiety attacks,and insomnia along with occasional emotional lability, Also ataxia when walking. Don't know if I wanted to continue this, but will speak with my neurologist next week."


"My 18 yo son has been taking Tresiba for about 6 mos and his A1C dropped from 13 to 7.  But he has been developing hives lately and this is the only thing new or different in his environment or routine.  We aren't positive at this point Tresibas the cause, but it's not looking good"


"This product is a God send. It helps so much with my interstitial cystitis symptoms. But I have noticed that if I use it very frequently that my unine starts to smell really bad.  Which concerns me s bit."


"It's good for mood stabilization, but I want off, I want to switch. My doctors won't listen. The weight gain is terrible, and I'm exhausted all of the time. I feel hopeless and helpless."


"Water pill worked about as well without the terrible side effects."


"I have been off and on this for over ten years. I will go years taking it  and then go through the long weaning off period go about six months symptom free, then it starts all over after doing this 3 times I have resolved myself to my doctors advice to stay on it till I am done with menopause. No complaints though it has been a great keeps me at my normal self I just hate taking any Medication.So don't suffer really it is not something you can control.It is a true chemical imbalance and Paxil rebalances you. it does take a few weeks when you begin. I did have terrible dry mouth and zero appetite for a month but then everything adjusted and it has been a blessing. You are never alone reach out get help and GOD bless  <3"


"I have been in pain management for 12 years and have been placed on about anything I've ever heard of.  Nucynta 100 mg 4 x daily does a really good job of relieving my pain from herniated discs. I've mainly been on oxycodone 10mg to 30mg roxicodone and the Nucynta works better than either of those for me.  It may be due to the amount of time I've been on oxy as to why I can't feel it helping anymore.  Been on Nucynta for about 7 months now and its expensive and the worst side effect for me is drowsiness and having difficulty concentrating. I am in recovery now after c5/c6 replaced with titanium screws and a synthetic spacer so I've been on a Dilauded pump 6mg per 4 hours, 20mg roxi, 100mg Nucynta, 700mg Soma and still hurt."


"Been taking Klonopin for 15 years to combat anxiety. Do not take everyday, only when needed. It is a God-send and allows me to focus on the task at hand. Highly recommend to anyone experiencing high anxiety for long periods. It will definitely take the edge off."


"I just got my Skyla inserted yesterday. I'm 27 and no children. Just a reminder everyone's body is different so it will react differently. I was given a pill for the day before to open up my cervix. (I suggest drinking ibuprofen 30 minutes before, my doctor suggested it but I forgot) the procedure itself is very short. In my experience it was painful. I could feel how tense my body got and felt as if I was going to pass out also had nausea for the most part of the after the iud. The process took about 3-5 minutes and after they did an ultrasound just to make sure it was in place. I Cramped all day yesterday stayed in bed and drank some pills. I'm now on day two don't have any side effects besides mild cramping and light spotting."


"I used to suffer from panic attacks frequently that made me feel like I was constantly about to faint or have a heart attack. It was so bad at one point I couldn't leave the house. I was extremely worried about taking this (probably as a result of GAD I was diagnosed with) but I've been on lexapro since November last year and haven't had a panic attack since! It was hard getting used to lexapro at first and I experienced visual hallucinations upon waking up, but a small dose of valium helped take the edge off. Now anxiety isn't interfering with my daily life and I barely think about it. I'm now learning meditation, CBT and looking after my physical health so I can wean off the drug later in the year when I'm mentally ready for it"


"My ears hurt from the throat infection. This medicine gives relief in a couple of days and finished the infection off.

I am well again."


"When I finally got a doctor to prescribe Valium it was a life changing start. I always had social anxiety and was very introverted. After being on Valium I quickly moved up in my company because I could interact and socialize with no fears or anxiety. After a few years I was in charge of up to 50 workers and always got good feedback from customers, and professionals related to our work and was able to focus and enjoy dealing with many different personalities. The only problem was getting very sleepy while driving. "


"I kept a log of my first week starting Contrave.  First few days I felt groggy and irritable, light-headed and my hands were shaky.  This is normal for your body to adjust to new medication. This drug has an antidepressant in it. It's going to make you feel weird at first. Power through it. It's worth it.

After 1 week the side effects weren't nearly as bad, and after two weeks they were almost gone.

I'm on almost two months of this medication now, and I feel great.  I feel like it stabilizes my mood and I don't want to shove food into my face all day. I'm down 15 lb so far mainly doing cardio. The only reason I don't give it 10 is because the price, $90 bucks a month.  Make sure you get the savings card online!"


"Xanax is a lifesaver for me! I am 40 years old, diagnosed with Panic Disorder with agoraphobia, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Depression. It all started when I was about 13 or 14 years old. To make a long story short, every other medicine I took, either didn't work, or made me gain a ton of weight (SSRI's). I am currently weaning myself off of Zoloft from 200 mgs. since it doesn't seem to be working any more (down to 100 mgs at the moment). I plan on just taking Xanax alone when I'm off of the Zoloft. It is the ONLY medicine that relieves ALL of my symptoms. I will see my doc tomorrow to discuss what dosage I should take after going off of Zoloft completely, because I do take both right now. I'm just tired of being fat from all these SSRI's!"


"I just want to say to people out there that are scared to take antibiotics (like myself) do not look up these silly reviews it will only scare you more from taking them. I had to deal with strep for a month before I could actually take my antibiotic because people on here made it seem like it was the worst drug they've ever had. So far I've had no side effects. And it's working great. My suggestion is don't try and research what other people have said about it. Try it for yourself."


"I had severe depression when we moved from a house I loved in the country to a smaller house I hated by the river in a little suburb that I'd always detested.  Celexa works.  Most definitely but it works too well.  After being on it for 11 years, I became emotionless.  I had no feelings either way.  It also helped me to put on 50  pounds.  At 61, I decided to stop it.  I weaned my self off by cutting the pills in half, then in quarters, then none.  The side effects are the worst of any medication I've ever experienced....dizziness, SEVERE depression, SEVERE happiness, experiences in my head that I can only describe as "zits" that were instantaneous moments of dizziness or a feeling of a bug "zipping" by your head, fatigue, jitters."


"I wasn't sure if I wanted to quit or not, and the first few days on Zyban weren't great. I was in a horrible mood and was convinced the pills weren't going to do anything. Continued smoking like normal and on the eighth day of taking the meds, I took a few drags and knew it would be my last one. It was like something just clicked in my brain. Have been using zero-nicotine liquid in a vaporizer a few times a day just for the menthol sensation, but other than that I haven't had a cigarette since!"


"I have severe bruising on my arms from very thin skin. I have debated for a long time about taking Plavix. I started taking it 9 years ago when I had a very mild heart attack and a stent in a 90% blocked artery. There was another artery that was 60% blocked which they told me should be watched. 6 months ago , I had a heart catheter and they said the blockage was gone, and they didn't know why.  My Doctor said that I should continue taking Plavix, and that stopping probably wouldn't help the bruising and thin skin.  So that is what I will do."


"I started phentermine 4 months ago and have lost close to 40 pounds. It is basically a magic pill that allows the weight to just fall off completely. There are bad side effects, however. The first couple of weeks are great. I felt like I was unstoppable. You have so much excess energy and your body just won't stop. If you don't take the pill really early in the morning, you will be up all night long. You are never hungry so you may even forget to eat. I have had really bad headaches, blurred vision, and occasionally upset stomach. "


"This Migraine Med is a must have if you expereince regular Migraines..no side effects!"


"This medicine made me feel like I had a hangover.  I was tired, irritable,  and my head felt like it was in a vice, and I had some nausea.  I don't know that I'll even want to use this if my BV comes back. Terrible medication.  I can't work out or concentrate.    I feel better if I'm drinking some thing or eating constantly.
Ug...yuck"


"I am on My 3 month with Contrave. I was first skeptical but after noticing the cravings I had slowly went away I started walking about 1.5 miles during the times i would sit and watch TV. Now that I am on the 4 a day dose I have lost a total of 30 pounds in less than 3 months. Even my Doctor was surprised when I returned for my check up. I can say that it has help me and I will continue to walk and use it until I reach m goal. So for anyone who has doubts just try it. For me it is a clear way to achieve my goal."


"My 16 year old son was beginning to seclude himself in several ways from his friends despite his popularity because of his acne. Within a month of using Amnesteen his acne was drastically better and his personality was back to normal. We experienced no side effects from this medication. "


"Medication has effectively arrested my father's CLL.  From 140,000 WBC to 5,000 within two months."


"Have had bowel problems all my life. In 2004 diagnosed with Crohns. Put on Pentasa and 6MP which eventually stopped working. Through the generous Abbvie Patient Assistance program I was able to start Humira in December 2015. The change was quick and dramatic. Many symptoms either disappeared or lessened. At times eating certain foods bring on cramps but they can be managed.

My only fear is that one year I will not be renewed in the Abbvie program. Medicare Part D has a copay which is quite high, well beyond my financial ability. This would result in loss of relief which Humira has provided."


"Fentanyl patches are the best and easiest pain relief product I have used. Unfortunately after three years I became tolerant to the medicine. I went onto morphine, then Oxycontin and then Suboxone. Now I rotate between these every nine months. I have found the name brand Duragesic best. If sticking becomes an issue most companies will mail an overlay free of charge, either Bioclusive or Tegaderm. Make sure to use an overlay approved for your patch as some have not been tested and have adverse reactions with the delivery system. I change every 72 hours. Be careful not to get too hot. One day I sun-tanned outside and my patch went into overdrive. "


"I've had the mirena for exactly a week now and I haven't really had any problems. During the insertion I bearly had any cramping and it only lasted for about 5 minutes. I bled quite a bit the day I got it put in and I had very light spotting the next day. But I haven't had any bleeding since then. I'm really glad I decided to get the mirena. It's a great option for someone who just wants it to be put in and be able to forget about it for 6 years"


"This drug keeps me from craving oxycotine and helps me lead a more productive life"


"This treatment completely stopped my panic attacks which I thought could never be controlled. Just take 1 when you get up to guarantee a peaceful day. I tried all the antidepressants, from Depakote to lithium they all had some weird side effect. "


"I suffer from severe peripheral neuropathy.  It is unusual in the sense that it is not diabetes caused, but is apparently idiopathic and hereditary.  I have excellent relief from Lyrica with few side effects.  I find myself nodding out occasionally at my computer or watching TV.  I exercise more, drink more coffee, and allow more time for sleep.  The more I take, the greater the relief.  I take 400mg per day. "


"I have a 90 year old home care patient who was started on Mirapex 4 days ago. She suffered with restless leg syndrome and leg cramping nightly. She informed me that since starting this medicine she has felt great and slept soundly for the first time in years."


"I have MDD (12yrs), chronic pain (17yrs), anxiety & social/agoraphobias. For the last 3 years, I barely left the house & rarely left my bed. Things grew extremely dark this past year...I cared for nothing except my dog without whom I wouldn't be here now. The psychiatrists & antidepressants I tried for years either failed miserably or made things worse. I managed to see a new psychiatrist who put me on a combo of Fetzima & Rexulti. This combo made a HUGE difference for me. It feels like someone turned on the lights & I can finally see some kind of future. It's still hard, but not impossible.

Don't let the bad reviews scare you off! If you've been struggling, try it. It might help you. Just be watchful of the possible side effects."


"I have been taking this birth control since February, never had a problem. I was on Mirena for almost 2 years and had a lot of problems. This pill is the right one for me!"


"This medication works pretty well for my son, but for the price."


"I am a 46 and I have noticed a change in my erection for about three years.  About three weeks ago I started losing my erection shortly after penetration during sex.  My doctor said my prostate is slightly enlarged and I may have prostititis.  He gave me samples of 10mg Cialis.  I took one as soon as I got back to my car.  Later that night, I had erections that were just as amazing as when I was 18.  Sex with my wife was just like old times.  If you have erectile dysfunction, don't be afraid to talk with your doctor.  It's just a fact of life that happens on its own.  Your erections will be stronger, longer lasting and even seem longer."


"Having Fibromyalgia, Degenerative Arthritis, 3 Knee Surgeries, among other ailments over the last 10-15 years, I have taken Norco, Vicodin, and Lortab. Interesting how the comments vary, but I am one who finds relief from all of the above, and actually without a specific preference. Currently taking Norco as a "break-through" pain medication, it serves me well."


" I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 recently at 34 years old. I'm also diagnosed with severe depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and PTSD.  After being on what seems every antidepressant in the world, finally, a combination of Lamictal, Wellbutrin, and Xanax has been a life saver.I was prescribed the Lamictal a couple months ago. I noticed that after a couple weeks the Lamictal started to wear off a little and the depression started to appear again. I was started on 25 mg and then upped to 50 mg. A few days ago I noticed the depression again. I'm going to ask my Dr. to up my dose again. Sorry for the long response lol. I just wanted to let anyone else know that I'm going through a similar experience."


"I will never have this shot again. It made my skin loose & wrinkled. Researchers don't have a clue if this helps bones or not.

I can tell you I completely reget trying prolia.And hate seeing Blythe Danner doing this commercial."


"I got it two weeks ago, its wonderful, no weight gain so far. The only thing is I have been depressed for five or six days straight, im always tired, not to mention I snap quick at everything and everybody. My son doesn't desirve a grouchy mother."


"Ambien didn't work for me at all and made me restless & crazy. Tried Belsomra 10 mg last night (I'm a small person and tend to be quite sensitive to meds). I think the dose was fine. Falling asleep was pleasant and reminded me of how I used to fall asleep before the insomnia -- all good. But it did not stop me from waking several times in the night, particularly between 2-4, with restlessness; I was able to return to sleep pretty quickly each time though. But after 9 hours, I woke feeling like I had been in REM sleep all night -- sort of skimming along the surface of sleep but not going deep for most of it. I don't feel refreshed at all and fell back asleep in the chair after a full cup of coffee. Not for me."


"Improvement was very apparent in 2 days. An amazing start. Hope it lasts. "


"I started taking this med 4 weeks ago. Before that I was extremely slowly losing but had changed my lifestyle with walking, Eating low carb and an extremely clean diet. I have lost 3 lbs this month but the meds made me exhausted and nauseated most days. I could not do my light work outs or even walk.  Not wanting to eat much at all and what I did was not the healthiest as everything made me sick so I would eat stuff that would go down easy.  I’m thinking it’s counter productive to a healthy lifestyle change.  I even backed off the dosage. Not sure what to do. I paid for three months so wanted to finish but ugh not feeling this."


"Works well for anxiety attack."


"I've been taking this for 3 weeks and it's HORRIBLE. I recently just got diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome, and I have new insurance so my doctor recommended this. The only thing it has done for me, is give me acne. It's made my skin worse. I was taking levora since I was 19, because I always had irregular periods, but it's because I had PCOS this whole time. I'm now 27, and my skin was always phenomenal when I was on levora. I Never gained weight and levora maintained everything perfectly.  Now I have pimples every day, and if one heals I'll get 2-3 more, by the time it's healed. I haven't noticed any change in my weight even though, I do workout 4 days a week and watch what I eat."


"My psychiatrist prescribed me Prozac recently when he diagnosed me with Generalised Anxiety Disorder and depression. My depression and anxiety was really bad. I constantly worried about the same things over and over again and couldn't control it, got bad panic attacks, could not eat or sleep and became very depressed. Xanax helped me but only temporarily. I'm taking Prozac 20mg nearly two weeks now and already I feel like I'm getting back to myself. I no longer worry, I'm eating and sleeping better and panic attacks are just a thing of the past. The only side effects I have are increased appetite and fatigue. But all I can say is that Prozac is a God send, that I would highly recommend it. It has helped me so much."


"I wish I could give this a zero. I had my son August of 2016 and my periods were so heavy I was diagnosed with dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and I was told to get on a birth control to control my bleeding. I chose the depo and received my first shot February of 2017, and my bleeding stopped for a bit but returned in March. I was spotting then it went on to light bleeding. I received my second shot in May. I started bleeding more. I became anemic (unknowingly at the time). In May I passed out due to low iron and broke my nose! It has lowered my immune system, I found out also in May that I have mono. In June I got strep throat. My iron dropped to 8.6 almost needing a blood transfusion. I've been bleeding every single day since March!"


"I suffer from chronic TMJ, I can't eat apples, steak, most foods that require you to open your mouth, or my jaw will emit a loud bone-breaking-sounding CRACK followed by waves of intense pain WAY beyond the acceptable threshold.  I'm only 33.  An MRI, CTScan, several X-Rays, and worthless visits to "Specialists" did nothing but empty my bank account and receive the news that I have "two displaced discs in my face, and there's nothing we can do."

I was about to give up then said heck with it and sought out a pain specialist.  She witnessed the horrific noise, saw the X-rays and surgeon notes, and immediately put me on ZoHydro 20mg (twice a day) and thinking my woes were addressed, then they reformulated it and it's like taking aleve."


"Thankfully I am no longer coughing, but after taking it at 11pm and waking up at 2am and not being able to go back to sleep, I'm wishing that I had read the reviews first. "


"Great, the only medicine that got me under control, no more bathroom mapping while leaving the house."


"Mobic prescribed following knee surgery for pain and swelling.
Very effective and no side effects."


"I started Victoza 0.6mg on 03/04/17.  I have experienced severe nausea, and have vomited twice in the first week.  I just increased the dose to 1.2, and the nausea has only gotten worse.  I am down 5lbs in the first week.  I would like to continue for a month to see if the side effects lessen, other wise will not be able to continue."


"Both my husband and I have been taking Norvasc for a period of approximately 6 months.  It has lowered both of our blood pressures into the normal range and we have suffered absolutely no side effects."


"I was diagnosed in 2013 with Crohns. Pentasa has relieved my symptoms greatly. I take 500 mg 4 times a day. I find it works better for me when I take it with food. My only side effect is night quivers. Other than this,  Pentasa works wonders.  It's well worth my $55 copayment each month."


"I'm 27.. have suffered from chronic constipation for almost 12 years now. Was diagnosed 6 years ago. Went through total hell and back when I was diagnosed. Over the past four years I went from taking 2 capfuls of Miralax to 6...daily. My whole life revolves around my stomach issue. I'm on my 3rd day of Linzess... have already cut my dosage of Miralax over half. Hope to be totally off it of it soon. So far Linzess is the answer to my prayers. Anyone looking for an alternative should definitely give it a try. Bowel movements are loose but always are.. nothing new. They do come on quick within a couple of hours of taking the medication.. be close to a bathroom to see how it affects you. Super happy about Linzess!"


"My pain management doctor switched me to this medicine 2 days ago. It's a miracle. I have been on everything. I was taking Oxycontin 80mg 2 x per day along with 30mg oxycodone every 4 hrs for breakthrough pain. I felt the difference within hrs. I suffer chronic pain due to my back. I've had 5 spinal fusion surgeries. "


"When I fell off the wagon I was dreading another trip to the ER when I sobered up. I saw my doctor and he prescribed this and it helped immensely. I have really bad panic attacks and my blood pressure skyrockets along with nausea, shakes, sweats, etc. This medicine helped get me off booze twice. Recommended."


"I have a wheat intolerance and also I a, I am frequently blocked up and was recommended to use dulcolax instead of my normal senna for a stronger more effective result. I took 2 tablets at around 8pm and by 12/1am my whole stomach has bloated to the fact it felt like it was going to pop It was pulling my skin that tight ... Finally this discomfort passed and the bloating did ease however the pains I experienced made me consider going to hospital ! I nearly passed out of several occasions ... I did eventually go and it did do its job but I do not recommend this at all it is not worth the severity of the side effects atall"


"I am 27 years old, dedicated smoker since age 17, and recently quit with the aid of Chantix. During my first week I suffered a lot of anxiousness and stomach problems, but after persisting with the recommended dose my body caught on. I continued to smoke through my first month taking Chantix during which the feeling of 'needing' a cigarette became less and less frequent. I had very lucid and bad dreams during this month. After smoking a pack and a half on the 23rd of November I decided that I was done, so the next morning I didn't smoke anymore and I have not smoked since. Since I quit smoking the bad dreams have given way to very lucid good dreams. I still experience a little stress from time to time, but that's normal stress. Thanks Chantix."

"I know many people have trouble with the whole colonoscopy experience but I really don't know why. To me it it's a very comical experience. Drink a glass every 10 or so minutes and soon you'll be timing for the bathroom about as frequently. I liked the added note on the GoLYTELY to jiggle your tummy to help remove extra poo.
I have to admit after the whole GoLYTELY experience I wanted to watch what the whole fuss was about. Watching the scope do it's thing was amazing. Now that I have to do it all again I will not drink quite as fast (I wasted some by projectile vomiting some of it back up ... also comical) but I will dance and jiggle my bowels about to get them as clean as I can.
My biggest concern is what flavor to get. Pineapple? NOT"


"It takes a while to adjust to this medication and find the proper dose.  Also, and this is not commonly publicized, this drug is extremely sensitive to degradation, especially by moisture, so do not keep it in damp places, like bathrooms, once the bottle is opened, and do not use old opened bottles of the capsules."


"I started using phentermine (Adipex-P) in the later part of February, 2009. My first weigh in was 233 pounds. I now weigh 203 pounds. The only side effect I had was a slight case of the jitters that lasted about a week.  Other than that everything has been great. I do exercise a few times a week, most of the time. Nothing crazy, just the treadmill and weights, when I feel like it. I do have high blood pressure and I take lisinopril 10mg for that.  I also keep up with the calories and sodium I take in and I only drink water, if I need flavor I buy the pour in packs (ex. Crystal Light, or Sam's Choice).  Just the fact that I don't drink ANY sodas is a big accomplishment for me, because I was a Pepsi-holic."


"My husband died from taking Lialda. He had been taking it for 3 months and it totally depleted his white blood cells. When he was admitted to the hospital, he was taken to ICU ISOLATION on a Fri. and  died Wed. Autopsy confirmed he died from the Lialda!"


"I have endometriosis and polycystic ovarian disease. Both of which have been proved via ultra sound and surgeries. I've been off birth control for 3 years and decided to start taking it again to preserve bit fertility I have left. After only a few days I felt what was similar to a UTI paired with throwing up. On top of that I have had panic attacks, high anxiety, suicidal thoughts, you name it. Following a heart to heart with a close friend, my mom and my sister I've realized the birth control definitely induced this. I haven't changed anything over the past except that. For anyone that has a very busy life, stressed anyways, or has any kind of underlying depression/anxiety- please be very careful when you take this."


"Australia
I have been on this drug for a little under 2 weeks, I have already lost 4.5kg which is very impressive. Had little to no side affects what so ever, 5 pens cost me $400 AUD and my insurance gave me a $50 rebate. So far so good.
FEMALE: 20 years old
HEIGHT: 178cm
START WEIGHT: 84kg,
CURRENT WEIGHT: 79.5kg

GOAL WEIGHT: 70KG"


"This panic attacks all hit me in August, it was December before they figured out it was anxiety because I had other medical stuff, wrong sickness. They started me out on Zoloft I was allergic then some other meds that had bad side effects finally my doctors try me out on Buspar. Finally after weeks getting the right dosage I have been awesome and healthy for over a month. This pill has given my life back, I was so bad I couldn't go in stores. Now I go every day and shop. This pill is awesome, it takes over a month to get build up or did for me. It was worth the wait, I feel so good I stopped it for 4 days I had panic attack then went back on and I plan on taking this."

"I am almost 19 and have beeen on this pill for about a year. In the beginning I had breakouts and probably gained 5 lbs. I liked this pill and it has worked for me. My acne has improved. However I am always upset about something. Some days I am totally fine, and then I begin to feel depressed. I am constantly being mean to my boyfriend although I do not mean to be. This works differently for everyone. "


"Had unprotected sex near my ovulation date and freaked out so I went to go get the Plan B pill. Was $24 since my insurance covered some of it and had my boyfriend pay for it. I was really nauseous on and off, had headaches and was dizzy. I was REALLY tired too. My period came two weeks earlier and it was really bad. Had big blood clots, really heavy period. The cramps were terrible. It was an unpleasant experience. BUT no baby. So that's good. Really helped. Really wish guys would go through this too. It's really unfair all we women go through."


"I was on Kariva for 3months and then I decided to stop taking it all together. I'd experience dizziness to the point where I'd have to sit down and also had an increase in constant headaches. The day that I decided to stop taking it, I had an extreme mood swing/panic attack. Some days while taking the pill I didn't feel like myself emotionally. I originally got on the pill to help reduce my cramps because they were so painful. The pain of my cramps did lessen, but occasionally it was still as intense as it was before I was on the pill. I bled/spotted on the third week and had my actual period the fourth. So I ended up bleeding well over a week which is more than my normal. I did not gain any weight, but my appetite increased."


"I have been on Simponi since 11/09.  Took a couple of months to kick-in, and seems to wear off about the 3 1/2 weeks.  Best results I have ever had.  Did not use with Methotrexate due to had neuropathy symptoms when I take Methotrexate.  I have had rheumatoid arthritis for 18 years and I am 55 years old, been on every RA medicine, Simponi is the best for me."


"Everyone is different and not everyone will like tramadol but I suffer from chronic TMJ dysfunction where my jaw locks up, clicks and pops and is so very painful all the time. I was prescribed 50 mg to take 1-2 tabs every 6 hours. It worked AMAZING. I love tramadol for any type of pain including back pain that I have on occasion. Only down side is it can make you constipated, can make you go through opioid withdrawal if not tapered off of it gradually when stopping and also long term use can make the dose less effective and you will have to either take a break from it or be prescribed a stronger narcotic because more than 2 tablets of tramadol can damage your stomach kidneys etc."


"Love love love it!! Been using it to nearly 4 years now, no problems what so ever apart from irregular periods maybe consisting for a month or so but other than that child free! Best contraception I've been on!"


"I found this medication to be the best.  I could wake up in the morning without the phlegm in the back of my throat.   This was the only medication that helped.  Why was it discontinued???  The medicine my doctor has given me now does nothing for me."


"My experience has been quite well. I got it when I was 15 in May 2015. It bruised for a while after, and I bleed everyday up until December. Now reading the other reviews and the side effects, I now know why I've been gaining a little weight, got some acne, and have been yelling at people for now reason. Haha, I know that seems sad but I've handled it! It also made me not wanna have sex, and when I did it was uncomfortable. But, its now March and I havent had a period for a while (I'm not pregnant!) I like it because its easier than a pill. If you can deal with wearing pads for a while and not worrying about taking a pill, I suggest it!"


"I started taking Belviq 1 week ago. I am on the 14 day trial. I have only lost a pound or two, but have not really changed any eating habits. The past two days my appetite has subsided a ton! I'm expecting a lot of weight loss this week. I had random headaches and dry mouth the first 4 days but those sides have subsided."


"I have gained 10 pounds. Doesn't affect my mood but does affect my sex drive a little. Went from a C cup to a double D. Sounds lovely but my breasts hurt most days out of the week. I eat way more then I used to. "


"My son's attention span now exists.  He does not wander off into his fairy land every 2 minutes. His teacher and other educators are very impressed with his work now.

My son complains of headaches probably because he has trouble falling asleep."


"For migraine pain = BEST = obliterates an attack.
Side effects = Severe = dizzy and sedated, tolerance develops rapidly with any repetitious use. I take Stadol to abort only the most severe migraine attacks, about 10 doses per year.

I can take it, but only if I have absolutely NO responsibilities for the 4 following hours.  Stadol has helped me avoid a trip to the ER numerous times. It's one of those "break glass in case of emergency" type medicines, for me.  It works EXTREMELY fast, starting in less than 2 minutes."


"Couldn't sleep last night. Finally at 3 am, I looked in cabinet and found this. I took 2 blue tablets. 30 mins i was asleep. Friend texted at 10 am, woke up and I was extremely groggy, unsteady, heavy eyelids. Just felt weird. I drank a cup of coffee and still groggy. Hours later,
i still felt bad. Went back to bed at 2ish. I decided to check out what the heck happened. Looks like I took to much. It did put me to sleep at the expense of my saturday off feeling like crud. Will try 1 next time. 2 was to much for sure."


"After I ceased breastfeeding my daughter I needed a more practical birth control. I have always suffered anxiety about remembering to take a pill, especially when breastfeeding and using the mini pill which needed to be taken at exactly the same time daily. The patch ticks all the boxes. Easy to use. I have had one fall off during a high intensity swim, so I recommend getting spares just in case.
AS A WARNING - When I first started the patch I bled heavily for about 30 days non-stop. I was even prescribed medication to help with this. Since it stopped, the heavy continuous bleeding hasn't returned and my periods are only 4-5 days long on my patch free week. Also, I get strong food cravings around my patch change days perhaps a coincidence."


"This replaced Benzosiazepines and Sleeping pills, gives better rest, improved sex drive, decidedly improved social life. I'm 46m, prescribed 15mg x2 daily. Others noted the improvements first. I had no untoward side effects other than dry mouth and a few lingering panic attacks per month easily handed by low dose Xanax 0.5 mg. Various SSRI's along the way didn't help with depression this much. 5 years running. It works good."


"Mine is a seasonal asthma and until Symbicort I ended up in the ER several times a year (spring, summer, fall).
That's when I take 2 puffs X 2 times a day and have yet to have an attack.  Winter, only 1 puff every other day. Sure, I have occasional wheezing, but that's why I have Ventolin.
Looking back (10 plus years), I have to tell you - I'm really happy not to have to use Prednisone, possibly ever again."


"My doctor prescribed Wellbutrin XL with the hopes of it helping me with mild/moderate depression as well as a severe lack of energy. Wanting to avoid the common side effects of SSRI's (namely weight gain and sedation), my doctor and I were both hopeful that Wellbutrin would work for me, as it is an atypical anti-depressant. Along with mood improvement, Wellbutrin affects most people with an upsurge in energy, and even sometimes weight loss. Unfortunately it affected me in a totally opposite way. I gained approx. 10lbs. in the one month I was on Wellbutrin! Very discouraging! I think the worst thing of all was that I could barely function from day to day and just getting out of bed was arduous. I've never had that before. As for my moods, I found myself feeling even more depressed and prone to drastic mood swings. My doctor and I ultimately decided Wellbutrin was not for me. "


"AMAZING. Valtrex 2 grams in the morning (first noticed) within 4 hours, they began drying up already. Took 2 more grams 12 hours from first dosage. Then for next 5 days, took 500mg twice daily. It was healed by 4th day. Literally amazing.  Brand Valtrex also-seems to work better than the generics, at least for me and am now on a suppressive to prevent outbreaks. "


"I've been using Cialis for about 5 years now after having problems staying hard during sex. This usually happened a few minutes before I was about to cum, so it was disappointing all round. My wife would then have to give me a flaccid hand job to make me cum. The doc prescribed cialis 10mg and the difference was immediate. I try to take the 10mg pill at least 1 hour before sex, but really the medicine works 36 to 48 hours later, so you can quite easily take one in the morning if your not too sure when you will require an erection that day. I noticed someone said here that they got hard just looking at a hot woman, well that does not happen with me, my penis needs direct stimulation, but the reaction is strong and immediate."


"My mom just celebrated her 1 year anniversary on Sinemet so I wanted to share an update to give anyone newly diagnosed hope. Her dose is now 4 tablets a day (25/100), which she takes at 9:00am, 1:00pm, 5:00pm and 9:00pm. We increased from 3 tablets a day probably around month six, and she's been really doing well since then. No tremors, no obvious rigidity (or any Parkinson's symptoms at all), good appetite. Zero side effects from the Sinemet, which is why I say "celebrated." This is a remarkably effective and very affordable medication. Mom will turn 88 in May. Wishing everyone the success that we have had. God bless."


"So I just took my first pill a few hours ago.  I just wanted to give people some warning that it can make you TIRED!  I feel like I am about to fall over I am so tired!  I am excited about all the reviews about how well it works.  "


"I have been taking Prograf for 3 years now. When I first got my kidney transplant, I was taking 6mgs a day. Now I'm down to 3mgs a day. I have had no reactions from the drug. I thank God and my brother for the second chance at life."


"Moodiness increased, sex drive lowered to the point where I didn't want anything to do with my partner, extremely emotional, painful periods and depressed. I've been off for about a month and feel so much better."


"I just came off Aromasin, on tamoxifen for 2 years, then Aromasin for 5 years. I am having cold chills and then hot flashes, now.  While on it I had all the side effects, sore bones, hot flashes, gained weight, etc.   "


"I drank 2 bottles of wine and/or beer/vodka everyday for 3 years. Went into SEVERE withdrawal. Seriously thought I was going to die. Went on Librium and it worked wonders. "


"Hello! I have severe Neuropathic pain from spinal injuries. I had a spinal block that worked for a while, but it didn't take care of all the pain. My life was pretty limited as to what I could do, which was pretty much sitting in a chair at the computer or watching tv. My love for the outdoors was pretty much squashed since it requires bending over, which I can't do, due to the rods and screws in my back. I have only taken this medicine for two days, and I have already have noticed a huge difference. I am actually able to move around more. I also have osteoarthritis, and my joints were hurting. Not anymore. This stuff is amazing. The only drawback is the cost. I have to take it three times a day, and it's really expensive."


"I've been taking this birth control for about a week now, and I have already noticed some changes. My skin is also acne prone, and I was really hoping that this birth control would help with it. Without the pill, I usually have many bumps on my forehead, my chin is pretty red, and once in a while I will get cystic acne. Now that I've been taking it, I have many new pimples all over my face, like my cheeks and on my nose, where I have never gotten it before. It's also given me MORE cystic acne which is a pain. I really wish that it could have helped, but before I switch off I want to wait a little longer to be sure."


"Full blown blast crisis.  Had extreme joint and bone pain felt like sunburn while having your skin smacked and twisted.  Went to ER got diagnosed with leukemia got bone marrow test to confirm. Needed afforesis immediately took four days. Then needed transfusions then chemo which included cytoxin.  Great medicine got my counts down quick so remission came quick.  But because I was ph  also it took other expensive and research study trials to help me.  But once I was in remission they used high doses of Cytoxin with radiation and others to get me into complete remission. Then stem transplant."


"Haven't tried it yet but very easy to open took me 2 seconds.. plp plz read & follow directions"


"Trazodone has not been working for me.  It puts me to sleep, but I don't stay asleep.  "


"I have been using 150mg of aspirin everyday for the last 4 years. I have confirmed Diabetes and borderline high blood pressure. I don't find any side effects. The rest of the health parameters are okay."


"I have been taking methadone for over ten years and it has allowed me to live my life.  Although I still have pain, I can manage it most of the time with a topical ointment.  I use methadone for pain from osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.  I have a rod up my back from the arthritis and terrible pain in my hands, wrists, ankles, feet....It has really made a difference in my day to day living.

The big negative is that I know I am addicted and that is a sobering situation.  I see a pain specialist monthly and I have every confidence in his ability to prescribe this medication for me for ever if that is what I need."


"I took 2000mg dose (4@ one time)  i took them at 12am. Then went to sleep. Tossed and turned all night then woke up at 7am. Feel dizzy kinda out of it slightly high feelin. Ate something @ 10. Now 11am. Still feel the same. Its not terrible but its a little annoying. Ive taken this in the past but the 7 day dose. Didnt have any issues with it. I even had alcohol back then. I wouldnt dare drink with this high dose"


"The taste was terrible, like drinking salt water-which I guess is what it is.  I could barely get the second dose down. After the second dose I had 30 minutes of uncontrolled muscle spasms from shoulders to toes, my blood pressure shot up to 169/97 after the last dose and remained high up to the time of my procedure the next day-159/104."


"This pill does the job. I had been on it for 3 years, very sexually active and had never been pregnant. When I got married though (2 yrs ago) having a man there to notice every mood you are in and when things bother you he made me realize what a complete mess I was when I was taking the pill. I would get ovarian cysts (in and out of the ER for them). I passed out a lot from nausea and dizziness. Headaches were chronic and I was super moody. My periods were pretty regular but they were heavy and long. I broke out a lot and was super bloated when on it. ALL birth control pill side effects vary from person to person and their body types. So don't go off this alone, but at least give your body 3-4 months to adapt to the birth control pill and document daily how you are feeling."


"I consumed the Berry Smoothie Readi-Cat as directed prior to a CT scan. When I was leaving, the technician handed me a bottle of water, and told me to be sure to drink enough liquids. He did not explain why. I failed to consume much water following the exam; I was busy around town doing errands and it slipped my mind. Later, I have found that there have been residual effects of some joint inflammation,  that is apparent in my right knee joint area in particular. I suspect that this product has the potential to contribute to inflammation. I'm not sure if it is the barium sulfate in particular, although I had a CT scan a few years ago and don't remember this side effect. It could be the agents used to flavor it, or to keep it in suspension."


"This medication has helped me for years and works excellent. I wouldn't trust anything else!"


"I have been on Contrave for 3 months. I have lost 10lbs. I have had no side effects. Actually, it has helped me with my anxiety, OCD, and my husband has noticed a positive change in my personality (loving, easy going, rational).  I still have cravings.  I don%u2019t think it curbs my appetite and the weight loss is a little upsetting. I am a very active lady. I play volleyball four times a week, soccer & hockey 1 day a week, and on top of that I work out every other day at the gym in the am.  I am thinking there is a science to taking this medication and maybe I am not taking it when it is beneficial for me to curb my appetite. I take 2 at 6am and 1 at 4pm. I could use help w/this:)"


"This is not as amazing and magical as most of the raters here are saying. My dermatologist prescribed this to help with hyperpigmentation and inflammation my acne caused. It helped with niether. It barely works on the smallest of pimples. I just think the American market sucks for acne because I haven't really found something effective and affordable. When I was in DR I used stuff that cleared my skin up in a night. Sadly it can only be bought there :("


"After three weeks on Copaxone, I broke out in hives."


"Have been taking trazodone for about 12 yrs. now because I tend to wake up worrying in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep.  It's not a knock-out medicine, so will not put you immediately to sleep, but I sleep through the night (at 200 mgs.) without any problems.  This medicine has changed my life and I would not want to be without it. The dosage has been titrated up and down several times, depending on anxiety, depression, etc.  "


"I tapered off Paxil and started 5mg of trintellix. This has been the absolute worst week of my entire life. My panic and anxiety have not stopped a bit, I have been nonstop dizzy to the point where I can't even hold myself up, my eyes will just randomly cross for no reason. I spent the first few days crying on the toilet because the pain in my stomach was so unbearable. Day 5 I called my doctor and I was instructed to give it a little more time, so I did. I tried to live my normal life, but couldn't. I cry at the drop of a hat.
I called my doctor in tears this morning because I woke up and could not walk, I was so dizzy. If you want to feel like you've smoked crack and meth for a week, try this crap.
It's a horrible nightmare."


"Got the mirena a few months ago and so happy I did. I can't take birth control pills due to my medication, so my doctor said to get this. I had some cramps and spotted for almost 2 weeks and was nervous, but reading other people's sounded normal because your body isn't use to it yet. After that it's been good, no pain and really small periods. I know sometimes the symptoms can really suck but I'd rather those then be pregnant so I recommend to all."


"After the failure of 2 bupropion generics & the discontinued manufacturing of the one generic I *could* tolerate, I finally got on the one form of the name-brand Wellbutrin my insurance would cover. It made all the difference in the world. I feel better. My severe mood swings decreased as well as my angry outbursts. I don't mind the 3 pills a day (my generics had been SR); I actually prefer it as it seems the nighttime dose makes it easier to get up in the morning. I am dealing with some constipation, but I have MS and that is a side effect of many of my medications as well as my condition. I was happy and starting to get back on my feet again.

BUT....Now they aren't going to make it any more. I have confirmation from GSK.

So now what?"


"I apsolutly love this medication it has helped me tremendously. I suffer from multiple health problems such as planters fasciitis, back problems and arthritis so it's really difficult for me to get to the gym as I should. I started taking qsymia back in 2014 and took them for about 3 months and lost about 20lbs sometimes I watched what I ate sometimes I didn't  I never went on a strict diet because I suffer from hypoglycemia so I needed somewhat of sugar. I felt good about my weight got off also because my insurance don't cover the cost. I got back on them about 3 days ago because over the holidays I put some weight on with all the cooking not as much as before but I want to stay healthy.lol Most importantly I never got any side affects."


"I had my blood pressure go up to 180/120. It crept up on me and I have always had tachycardia. So far it has brought my pressure down some and my heart rate a little. But it makes me very fatigued and I feel like my breath is taken away from me some times.  A plus is I have ataxia and it does not make that worse. But whoa the dreams are something else."


"I have Fibro, Spinal Stenosis (severe) and Neuropathy, and occasional migraine headaches. I've been taking the Norco 7.5/325 for five years and it works, along with my 90mg of Cymbalta and 10mg Valium x2 a day.  I haven't had to ask for an increase in my meds ever. The pain is always there but manageable. I can grocery shop and do light housework daily. I can drive myself with no danger. I have taken myself off the Norco quite a few times. I might go five to seven days without it just to see if I'm addicted. I hurt a lot but even though I have a full bottle in the bathroom I'm able to resist taking them and not get sick."


"I was started on this med for depression from having no life from getting moderate-severe chronic fatigue syndrome. I can't say this has given my life back or anything but its the only thing that helps with my energy without causing flares like stimulants do. Caffeine is like taking out a loan I have to pay back with interest, if it helps at all. This is the only thing I've found that helps my baseline.

I take 150mg a day in the morning. Many people find this sedating, but to me its the opposite. In fact, I can't consistently take any more than 150 because it ups my anxiety at 200mg and above.

I'm still disabled, but this is the only thing I've found that bumps my baseline up (and I've tried every supplement and med imaginable)."


"I have had Nexplanon since May 2014.  At first it was going really well - I didn't have any side effects and didn't get a period for about 6-8 months.  Then when I finally got one it was VERY heavy and lasted for about a month.  After that, I started getting them every few months (still not that bad).  Starting in December it has really gone haywire.  I get a period just about every other week and the last one was so heavy and disgusting that I can't take it anymore.  Before this, I was relatively cramp free and my periods were very light.  Now it is just too much.  I have an appointment to get this out a week from today.  Only positive is I did not get pregnant."


"I have been on toujeo for almost a year. I have chronic health conditions and then got type 2 diabetes. The longer you have it the harder it is to control. I have noticed new things that haven't gone away. One eye is blurry, sometimes both of them. I have convultions in my boby that drive me crazy. It's not fun to have your body jumping around. I have also been having cold sweats, dizziness & headache. I am going to go back to Lantus.It took me awhile to realize these symptoms were not normal to my other illnessess. But I am sure now."


"This medication has been a life saver. I had terrible all day nausea, was losing weight from throwing up. As soon as I started taking it, my nausea decreased about 90% if not more. It does make you a bit sleepy, but i'll take that any day over nausea. Downside is the cost. They tried to charge me $750 for 100 pills.. Luckily I found a coupon online that got it down to $250. Pricey, but well worth it. Went from feeling like a sick zombie to feeling like a normal functioning human again. I was very hesitant to take any medication and do want to try to cycle off soon. I am almost 16 weeks now."


"I used to only get a pimple here and there on my cheeks. When I started Tri-Sprintec my acne got significantly worse. I was getting deep cystic zits all over my cheeks. After 3 months or so my acne calmed down but it was still worse than before. A year later and my acne is still worse than when I started the medication but I'm terrified to go off of it because I'm scared of the breakout that will happen when I go off of it. Wish I never started taking it, it's ruining my life."


"I have been taking 300mg of Lamotrigine each day for about 3 years.  When I first took it, it made me feel sick and anxious and gave me headaches, but after following some simple advice from my psychiatrist I now DONT GET ANY SIDE EFFECTS AT ALL!!  He told me to increase the dose slowly (25mg per week) and to always eat when I take the tablets.  I've found this medication very effective as an antidepressant but not effective at controlling mania / hypomania.  Despite this, I still rate it very highly because it is so much more bearable than any other psychiatric medication that I've taken in the past."


"I have an upper respiratory infection, sinus congestion, and middle ear infection, and was given Hycodan for the first time in my life last night at a local emergency room, Within 45 minutes I actually felt human again, and my symptoms did not return until almost 8 hours later.  This is an AWESOME medication!"


"I woke up one morning with burning in my chest when I coughed, lots of mucous in my upper respiratory area, a headache, 101 fever and the mucous was even flowing out of my left eye. My Internist prescribed the Zpack. On day 3, the burning in my chest went away. But the side effects were severe. On day 3, I began to get massive night sweats. These sweats lasted 31 days after the last pill I took. My blood sugar level also rose to prediabetic levels. My glucose was tested at 115, then 108. My blood pressure and heart beat rocketed for well over a month before it subsided. I would say that my body did not respond very well to Zithromax. But the drug did what it was suppose to. I would never take this drug again unless I was forced to ."


"Prescribed 600mg for bipolar 1, first three weeks nasty but stick with it these side effects disappear. Taken alongside lithium and I have never felt so well in over 20 years, awesome."


"Saw no affect"


"Works great for my asthma and my allergies, but you must rinse your mouth out with water each time you use it. That is a pain but well worth the trouble. No side effects noticed."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Yup, it tastes foul but you knew that already. Unfortunately I didn't read these reviews until after my first dose and didn't think to chill it prior. Big mistake, I'd rather eat liver and onions for a month than taste this evil concoction at room temperature again. Took my first dose at 5pm after a liquids only diet all day. No bloating on the first dose and very light nausea. Took about an hour to kick in then the fun began. Major gas at first - even the dog left the room - then the 15 second dash to the loo every ten minutes for FIVE hours. I'm not exaggerating in the least. Second dose at 10pm was even worse. Finally got to sleep around 4am for a 6:30am procedure. Does it work? You betcha but it is not pleasant."


"Do not be put off by initial dopey feelings you may get when you start this medicine.  For me, these feelings diminished after a day or so.  I needed to have the dose increased to 3600mg daily to make my pain almost disappear.  Each time the dosage was increased, I felt dopey for a bit, but it was only temporary. The reduction in pain and the good sleep I get is well worth any side effects.  In my case, side effects are minimal.  I have nerve damage resulting from ankle surgery for arthritis.  Before I was put on Neurontin, my outlook on life was pretty bleak.  I couldn't sleep and the pain was excrutiating.  This drug has really helped me."


"I've been getting Bvitamin injections for 9 months. Taking with phentermine for weight loss. Have more energy, I sleep less hours without being fatigued and have not been sick once since I started. Lost 40lbs total with both meds."


"I suffer from chronic migraines and I have seen multiple neurologists and have tried numerous medications. Treximet was the first that actually got rid of my migraines. Within half an hour my migraine is gone. Treximet is expensive but for me it is well worth it."


"If you ever use this you are just asking to torture yourself. The monistat itches and burns more than the actual yeast infection I do not recommend this to anyone"


"I have had the Implanon for two years now, personally it is more hassle then it is worth. My periods are heavy and long lasting sometimes for over a month. There is often a tiny break between one period ending and the next starting, which is knackering. Every few months it will disappear altogether which is a god send. When it returns my emotions/ mood swings are extreme."


"I developed tinnitus and it has been driving me nuts for a year. I reduced my dosage of alprazolam this past week to the point that I have not had any of this medication for several days now. Guess what! No tinnitus. It is completely gone. My alprazolam prescription is 2mg. If I find myself needing a dose because of anxiety I will take one half of a pill and it should get rid of my anxiety. I wanted other people to know the use of alprazolam can cause tinnitus."


"I have been on Contrave for 5 days. I told my doctor that I could not take anything that would make me tired during the day or give me insomnia. Score!  I do have chronic headaches and currently take no meds.  My doctor gave me the first starter bottle free because she wanted to make sure I could tolerate it before investing.  I am currently taking one pill per day.  Two hours after I take it, it's like a "one-glass-of-wine" feeling.  I'm less stressed and have absolutely no appetite.  Some foods that I generally like don't even taste good.  I'm hoping the meds will continue to be successful.  My mouth is a bit dry, but nothing significant.  I also have headaches, but that's typical.  I've already lost weight and NO FATIGUE!"


"This is my first experience with bc given to me after many years of complaining of heavy periods and a diagnosis of anemia.  It took some adjusting but I now have a 4 day period with only one heavy day instead of 8  days.  Downside: mood swings and they're constantly raising the price.  My $25 program expired and they're not offering it anymore.  I paid $120 yesterday for one month pack.  Keep asking for generic but my doctor says there is none and told me to do all the research for a better one.  Isn't that her job???"


"I had this put in despite the Negative reviews. At my 6 week post partum I got it done and had no  pain at insertion. It felt like nothing. I had a 600mg ibuprofen an hour before and I was shocked just at how easy it went. No cramping afterwards either. I am spotting but very minimal. I give this a must try!!! Don't listen to the negative reviews. I love it!"


"I have stage 4 ovarian cancer and chemotherapy did not work.  My pain medication was increased from 5 mg to 10mg of hydrocodone, which was not working and life was miserable with both back and abdominal pain.  My doctor switched me to 10/325 Percocet and the difference is astounding.    I cannot remember the last time I went without pain for the day and I do not care if I stay on this for the rest of my life. What a wonderful difference to my well being!"


"I have taken this medication for about 6 months for insomnia and it works really well.  I don't feel groggy or tired the next day and I've never had any weird side effects from it.  "


"Diagnosed in '08, been on Copaxone since then. Took me about six months to realize my injection site problems were caused by the auto-injection contraception. I found it not precise enough, needle can go at an odd angle, or too deep and into muscle (those were the worst). Learned to self inject. I go in at a 45 degree angle and inject slowly. Haven't had any injection site problems since. Knick a muscle once in a while, but that's it. It's a different experience for everyone, as you all know.
Cut out the salt, take cold showers, and avoid the heat. Haven't tried vitamin D supplements, but sounds like a good idea.
Last MRI showed no significant changes (good thing, I'm told.)"


"I've been on antidepressants since the age of 12.  I'm 53 now.  I also have fibromyalgia.  I was on Cymbalta.  Due to cost my doc gave me a sample pack of Viibryd.  2 days and I'm in incredible fibro pain, along with severe diarrhea. Not good on my hemorrhoids.  Not sure I'll stay on this one."


"I started Junel 2 months after I had my baby, and it immediately made me gain 10 pounds. It also made me depressed, anxious and crazy moody. I know it's the pills because I was maintaining my weight well after I gave birth and was not feeling depressed at all. I've decided to finish up the pack and not take any birth control pills after this at all, although it did make my periods lighter, it was not worth it for me."


"Was on Lexapro, but I was always tired. Finally I asked for something else with a little extra and I got Pristiq. Love it! Don't stop immediately though...withdrawals are really bad. Tightens my jaw, but other than that! It's amazing."


"I have been taking this drug for the last 5 years now and it working great. I have a head full of hair and i feel like very confident about my looks. I almost gave up on my hair but Proscar 1.25 mg gave my life back.
Also, i invented a pill cutter to cut Proscar 5 mg into 4 pieces for the daily dose."


"Within a week I felt an immediate change. I no longer obsess over tiny little details or let opportunities pass me by because of my anxiety. I feel like a normal person. Give it a chance!!!"


"I am a 28 y.o female 5 ft 1 in and weighed 167.2. I started changing my eating habits 10 days before taking the pill and lost 8 lbs. I have been on the pill for 2 days and so far, it has curbed all my cravings. It definitely does give you dry mouth. I go to the gym 4 times a week plus do work outside at home every day of the week. I drink a gallon of water plus some everyday for the dry mouth and to keep me hydrated. I am motivated. I don't wake up tired. I have loads of energy. I am trying to get down to 120 to 125. I will update in 2 weeks :) :)"


"I have degenerative disk disease and chronic back pain and this medicine has been a real life saver. It allows me to be myself again without any problems."


"I have tried everything in the book preventatively, but this is the 1st thing that's worked with the fewest side effects that I notice (I haven't noticed any of the brain fog or cognitive issues that I know if...but maybe I have them and just don't know, lol); I'm on 300 MG for a few years now- lost weight at first, which I didn't mind at all. But recently, every time  there'a going to be rain in the forecast, I wake up with a migraine...I wake up, have a headache - check the weather and sure enough, there's rain today, so I take a concoction and lay back down til it goes away. I'm going back for my regular checkup next month and we're gonna have to discuss options coz I cannot manage life around the weather like this."


"I've been using Vyvanse to treat my ADHD for about a month now and I have to say, I could feel the positive effects pretty much instantly. I've accomplished more in a month with this medicine than I had in a year prior to using it. The one issue I did encounter was an increase to my already existent problem with insomnia but having started taking Trazodone has counteracted this issue. It should be noted that not everyone has the same reaction to any given drug but as for me, nothing I've tried in the past has been NEAR as effective. A

(Note: In comparison to other drugs I've tried similar to Vyvanse I've found that it gives me the benefits I need without the overwhelming tweaked out feeling that others caused for me)"


"Little to no heartburn after taking Nexium for 3 days now but high blood pressure, tingly cramps in my stomach that bring me to the verge of throwing up, light headache, difficulty sleeping, throats constrictive. Not sure if I can keep taking Nexium."


"I'm extremely sensitive to the side effects of these medicines. Remeron is the only one I can tolerate (and it doesn't give me enough relief by itself). Brintellix's side effects reminded me of Pristiq's--falling asleep during the day, not able to sleep at night but it worked on my Interstitial Cystitis and it reduced my appetite, so I'm going to give it a longer trial in the summer when school is out and I'm not working."


"I got Mirena put in Feb 2013, and now having for 8 months. I was never on any kind of birth control before, and I have one child. I had it put in at the time of period, which my ob/gyn preferred. During insertion, the pain was horrible and I had cramps the rest of the day. I spotted for about 3 1/2 months straight. This last month I have really noticed that I haven't had a period, I had some spotting for about 3 days. I'm guessing its tapering off. I haven't had any abnormal acne or mood swings. I do feel like I'm more sexually active."


"I reviewed a number of SNRI medicines in search of one that might work for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome in addition to major depressive disorder and post traumatic stress disorder. After reading about Savella and finding this review site, I suggested Pristiq to my doctor as it seemed to be a good bet for the ailments I needed relief from. I was diagnosed recently with FM/CFS after 6 months of these conditions. I found Pristiq alleviated the worst of the pain. I still have some and am on 10mg of Elavil to help me "sleep" as the key side effect for me from Pristiq is worsening insomnia. I have a bad case of it and as anyone with FM and/or CFS knows, we only get shallow, mostly broken and non-restorative sleep."


"Today was my 6th day taking Complera. I've been taking it between 7:30 and 8:30 every morning. I don't notice any side effects at all. The only thing I hate is that I have a cough. It doesn't matter if I drink it with juice and chocolate chip cookies or not--I will still taste it. From reading all the previous reviews, I can't wait to get my labs done in January. Today I felt a little sharp pain in my left arm. I'm not sure if it was from the medicine or from being crunched in a chair on my laptop. I'm definitely going to get that bone test done since I heard it can thin your bones."


"The first time I took this it threw me into massive withdrawal which was unbearable for about 24 hours because I still had opiates in my system. So I never went near it again for years.  Now, I am taking 8mg a day for the last 6 months. I will always put this medicine on a pedestal because if you want to change your lifestyle and be drug free this will definitely help you achieve your goal. SUBUTEX -  I cannot sing its praises enough and that's coming from someone who would not even consider it at one stage."


"I have battled my weight my whole life. I just always seemed to be hungry or at least always wanted to eat. I'm 2 weeks in and I am having to almost make myself eat. In fact, I'm a bit concerned that I might not be eating enough. My main side effects are some nausea (not extreme) and burping to a ridiculous non-stop degree. It does feel a bit weird in general. I'm down 8.4 lbs now, from a starting point of 220.6 lbs. I find myself walking faster, for some reason. I just seem to have more energy even though I am taking in so few calories. Anyone with any history of an eating disorder should stay away.

Update after 33 days on Saxenda: I'm down 14 lbs and the side effects are basically the same as the first two weeks. So far,  so good."


"Iv'e been on clonazopam for several years now and let me tell ya, i dont leave home without it. It's almost more important to know that i have some readily available or have some at all, than it is to take it. I guess that's the fear of the fear syndrome...hehehe. iv'e had anxiety/panic disorder ever sinse I ret from the Army and quit drinking alcohol. I reckon all my held down by addiction emotions decided to come to the surface. It was terrible with all the panic attacks and ive been on every Anti depressant thats ever been manufactured, some worked , some didnt. But then there was clonazopam, my knightess in shining armor hehehe. Yes, i'm on 2.5mg twice dailyand a lttle more if needed, but i rarely have panic attacks anymore. Love it."


"I have been on Saxenda for a week and a half. In this time the only side effect I've had is constipation. The injections don't hurt, and I've only had 1 small bruise. I don't know how much I've lost as I'm waiting to see my doctor for my check up, but I know I've lost it as I can see it. So far I would recommend it to anyone. Another great thing, this doesn't react with any other medicine. Therefore I have been taking it with Champix to give up cigarettes. I have not felt like eating to counteract the cravings, and have been smoke free for 2 days (I've smoked for 25 years so this is a big milestone)."


"I've been on this for two weeks and right off the bat I've have trouble sleeping, severe SEVERE mood swings. Terrible anxiety, panic attacks ( have never had one before)"


"I've  had chronic  hives for years and until  a doctor  in the  emergency room found  exactly what  to do.. within  2 hours,  it was gone. She hooked  me up to  an IV and gave me a high dose of steriods, not the medrol  dose pack. 20 MG 3 times a day  (after I went  home)but she also  gave me Zyrtec  10 mg, and Prilosec. Apparently the Prilosec  helps also. But I still  get hives every  2 months. When I get  hives, I welt up with a rash from  head to toe,  my skin is red as can be,  and it burns badly and  itches , also take lukewarm  baths with a lot of  Epsom salt,and the soap I use for hives attack is home made lye soap! It must be  home made, I'm  curious about  how much Zyrtec  can you  take within 24 hr. Period safely"


"Been on it for 2 weeks now. I don't tolerate anything well and the first week I was very nauseous, had a few headaches but nothing I couldn't handle. Now I've noticed that I've gained a pound probably because it seems my boobs exploded. I was already a D and now I'm sure I'm at least a DD. Kill me. Other than that my sex drive is fine, maybe a little lower, but not bad. The one thing that I don't like is I'm super moody and then I get depressed and wanna eat everything. Also, some days I'm so tired and don't wanna do anything."


"For the first 3-4 days of use my face was so sore and skin was so dry.I have very sensitive skin anyway due to illness but really felt as tho i could have happily quite the treatment didn't matter how much moisturiser i put on it felt like if i smiled my face would crack.I carried on with the treatment every other day instead of the recommended every day till i felt i can tolerate it everyday.Nearly a month after starting the treatment and i feel it's the best thing i ever did to persevere through the first few weeks.My face is clear still a bit dry but nothing a good moisturiser helps"


"My twin and I stopped smoking almost 5 years ago.  With the help of this miracle pill we both quit.  Our brother used it as well.  He quit smoking with Chantix.  We all smoked for over 30 years."


"I took this medicine for a very short while.  It began with serious nausea followed by vomiting a couple of weeks later.  I could not take this medicine."


"This drug was quite effective for me for a long time. While I did cough some while taking it, it was never bothersome. Just recently, I did halt taking lisinopril, as I began experiencing facial and head tingling. I initially thought it was possibly stress or the multivitamins I also take. However, after eliminating the lisinopril, the facial and head tingling stopped, virtually immediately. So, as with anything, medications sometimes need to be re-evaluated for one's body."


"I have been on Victoza since Dec 2012. Lost 6kgs so far. I started off at 0.6, side effects not too bad. After 2 weeks increased to 1.2. For the past two weeks now I feel hungry and am afraid that once my body gets used to a higher dose I will not lose any more weight."


"3rd month, 3rd post

I am happy to report that the getting 1-2 pimples every single day, HAS STOPPED! I am so happy. I originally started this pill to get less break outs/nopregnancy. I went from getting 2-3 pimples before my cycle break out to getting 2-3 EVERY day the moment I started this pill. Has been very difficult, but accepted that the pill is a shock to your syndrome and it takes months for your body to adjust, to just stick it out. I am on my 2nd wk of month 3 and I have only gotten ONE new pimple. All the red marks left on my face from the constant breakouts, are almost completely gone. Not to mention, I have always considered myself very emotionally aware/stable, but this pill has mellowed me out to a whole new level. Love it!"


"I've always been one for depo but my doctor advised me to try lolo, I agreed. The first months worth I didn't like and questioned a lot of things. Seemed like I had a never ending period, all over the place and lasted for days. My breast were really tender, felt very nauseated to the point of almost vomiting, pelvic cramps, mild mood swings, UTI, discharge. When I went on antibiotics for the UTI I was told the pill will be less effective, my doctor never considered my age (32) as a factor which puts me at more of a risk. I am losing weight I can not maintain. I. Not happy with this product, not enough testing and I'm going back to depo."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"I was diagnosed with H.pylori a year ago and finally did Prevpac.  I've had terrible diarrhea since starting - took my last dose today.  Generally, my stomach was always churning and the diarrhea was consistent while on the treatment.  No other side effects, energy levels were fine and was able to work out daily. Hopefully H.pylori is gone."


"No obvious side effects. Worked well, but insurance has stopped coverage."


"This is my first month on Apri and I haven't been on any other forms of the pill since I was 18. I was prescribed Loestrin in 2009 for bad cramping and PMS, but got off that due to huge mood swings, bloating, weight gain and breast tenderness. It is now 7 yrs since then and I am using the pill mainly for birth control. I am on my third week and am feeling awful! I have had headaches several times per week, extreme nausea, cramping and tiredness. I have also felt anxiety and will wake up in the middle of the night. I take the pill in the morning but will be switching to a night time routine to see if my symptoms decrease or if I tolerate it better. My mood has been pretty normal and my sex drive is good. The worst thing has been the nausea."


"I have suffered from migraines since I was 19 (now 23). My migraines were debilitating and caused me to miss a lot of school, so my doctor prescribed me Maxalt. Maxalt almost always cures my migraines within 1-2 hours! The relief is long lasting; one dose and I am usually pain-free for an entire day. For me, side effects are infrequent and usually very minor (sleepiness, dizziness, “foggy brain”). To elaborate on the “foggy brain” side effect, post-headache I would sometimes experience a feeling of euphoria combined with a difficulty concentrating. Usually this is not a big deal, but if I was taking an exam it would slightly affect my performance and concentration. Overall, a great medication that has improved my quality of life!"


"I've been taking latuda 40mg for almost 2 weeks. I was feeling less depressed, my mood had stabilized but I felt a lot of anxiety, more than before I started the medicine. Looking back and thinking about where I am today, irritable, angry and feeling confused. I may be having a manic episode that the medicine may have induced."


"Definitely helped to reduce my congestion. I took it at 7PM and literally did not sleep at all that night. Had I known that this would happen, I would not have taken it in the evening."


"I was 23 when I was diagnosed with ADHD. Started Adderall, I take 30 mg of SR a day and the difference is phenomenal! I get up with ease because I know I can tackle all tasks with astounding motivation and actually enjoy doing tedious work. I am co-morbid with anxiety, rumination, and I was highly neurotic. I found myself aggressive, quick tempered, and easily abusing marijuana and alcohol. This all changed with Adderall, I am rational, reflect on situations in a positive light, and generally just a more helpful and kind person. Adderall completely saved my professional and personal life. Side note, it can cause erectile dysfunction but it will go away after your body is used to the cycle."


"Lexapro has changed my life and the lives of my family.  I struggled with tremors, nausea, dizziness, chest pains, numbness and tingling in my hands and feet, and muscle twitching.  I thought I was dying.  After a million medical tests that were all normal, my doctor diagnosed me with anxiety.  I did not believe him.  I was started on Lexapro, and felt better in a matter of weeks.  I cannot adequately express my joy and relief.  I do not wish to fall into my bed all day anymore.  I am able to enjoy my amazing husband and children again.  I am posting to give hope to anyone who is experiencing anything like I was.  Anxiety caused me awful physical symptoms that  lasted all day for months.  There is light at the end of the tunnel."


"Within 24 hours of taking I had a decrease in symptoms and started feeling better."


"Suboxone saved my life. I was a heavy heroin user for about two years, about $200 dollars a day. I was about to lose everything, and decided it was time to stop this downward spiral. I had tried suboxone before but wasn't ready to commit. I found a doctor who prescribed it for me and was given about 10-12mg a day. My estimated stop date would have been early November of 2007, I tapered down and made a commitment to myself to stop as early as I could, I took my last pills of Suboxone July 4 2007, and have been clean ever since! It truly saved my life. And a little FYI the mild withdrawals Suboxone gave me were absolutely NOTHING compared to trying to come off heroin or oxycontin."


"I was on this drug for about 3 weeks. It did not curb my appetite. In fact, I was increasingly hungry and could not stop eating. I gained 10 pounds on it, which I'm assuming is not how this drug is supposed to work. Once I stopped, my appetite returned to normal; however, now I have 10 pounds to lose in addition to the 30 I initially wanted. I am sure I was a unique case, but I would caution that if you start gaining, stop the drug. I felt like I needed to stay on it because it was so expensive and I didn't want to waste my money. And, my doctor said to give it time. Well, 10 pounds was enough time."


"The first day when I woke up I felt like my body had been hit by a mack truck! But the second day, my body felt fine. It took about 2 weeks for side effects to go away (trouble sleeping, headache, stomach upset). The motivation has been wonderful. I take it with Wellbutrin and Lamictal. I never wanted to try it because of the weight gain but I have not found that to be true. In my case motivation = exercise."


"It works for me.  After about 10mg of the Phenergan, I was no longer feeling dizzy and I wasn't sick at all."


"Itching near the head and constipation."


"Plan B is no joke. It is effective so don't stress if you have taken it within the 72 hours and make sure you rest up. I took it during the time of ovulation about 28 hours after I had a birth control mishap. I had no side effects and got my period about 5 days after (a week before my regular period). "


"Never thought I'd be raving about a drug but here I am. I was well on my way to meet my maker before I got on Atripla. It's been over 2 years now and I am happy to say that it has saved my life! I don't drink, I don't smoke, I've never done drugs for recreation, and I was always against taking medications. I was scared to death of the possible side effects of Atripla before taking the plunge because I had such a queasy stomach. Thankfully the side effects were only a problem for me in the first month. I am now healthier than ever, I have vivid dreams again, and my severe depression has gone away! I also believe that Atripla has made me smarter! However, I can't stay up late anymore and I must stay in bed counting sheeps until I fall asleep."


"Just had surgery 5 days ago and haven't gone to the bathroom since. Took other laxatives didn't work and I have a very sensitive stomach. The doctor told me to drink all 10 ounces of this, the cherry wasn't horrible but very sour. I took mine out of shot glasses to make it easier. Got about 8 ounces down couldn't drink anymore thought I was going to throw up. It's now 7 hours later and beginning to work! I feel better already! Wish I would have used this sooner."


"I've been on Wellbutrin for about three months now. It was prescribed to me by a psychiatrist due to depression and anxiety, low cognitive function and bad working memory.
Wellbutrin started working on me around week 8. Mood lifted immensely, better executive function, lower anxiety, became much more goal oriented. Stopped delaying and procastinating everything, became interested in my hobbies again, felt clear headed, more energetic and general mental well being. Struggle with working memory a bit, still."


"I was recommended the Mirena or Errin because they were non hormonal 2 yrs ago. I chose the Mirena and hated it. I decided to end it with that got pregnant with my 2nd child decided to get on another non hormonal because I'm breastfeeding. This time I chose errin and love it the first 2 months I would get 2 periods instead of 1 it is the same length (3-4 days) and flow since I was younger. As of this month (July) I have not had a period."


"Cd4 190 went up to 400 (after a yr)  now undetectable, had crazy dreams but not as much. Still struggling,  crying spells and sad at times. Very ashamed & embarrassed.  Meds are good overall, but i wish i neva got in this mess."


"I had fewer migraines while on Topamax, but the side effects were HORRIBLE for me.  I had tingly/numb fingers, brain fog and problems with word retrieval (not good for a teacher), plus it triggered depression-like side effects.  The side effects were just not worth it."


"I was hit by a drunk driver and upon my return to work I would experience back pain and spasms requiring me to take a break for 10 minutes out of every hour. I was afraid that I would of had to go on short term disability because of that. This drug did wonders for me by alleviating that constant need and allowing me to perform at the high levels that I require of myself.  Just fair warning, the first day or two it will make you drowsy, so take it at night with little need to rise early.  It blocked almost all of my back pain and I could get through the 10  hour days as a restaurant manager."


"Only side effects I've had is gas, stomach craps, diarrhea but only go to the bathroom once or twice a day. I was diagnosed on June 5 2013 and my viral load was 89,000 and my CD4 258. On July 30 2013 I decided to get checked before starting treatment. My viral load went down on its own to 44,000 and my CD4 down to 248.  I was prescribed COMPLERA on August 1st 2013 and I've been on it for 3 days. My first lab since Complera is Sept 1 so I will keep you updated."


"Started May 8 and two weeks later had full blown period with bad cramping lots of blood clots and heavy bleeding. Prior to taking this medicine I had extremely light spotting once every4 to 6 weeks.  According to the FDA I should not have been taking this since I was post menopausal"


"This pill actually made me depressed and anxious and nauseous to the point where I couldn't function. I took it for two years when I was first prescribed it because I never actually associated the symptoms to the pill until one day I brought up how I was nauseous all the time to my doctor and she recommended me switching pills. Once I got off this pill, I immediately felt happier and less anxious. It did prevent pregnancy, but literally whenever I would take even the tiniest drink of any kind of alcohol I'd be nauseous for the rest of the night. I recently took this pill again for a few days and these symptoms immediately returned. Never touching it again."


"I recommend this birth control to everyone. I have been taking it for almost two years. My periods are light and only last for a few days. My cramps are very tolerable. I don't feel unusually moody or irritable. My breasts may have gotten a little bigger, although not noticeably. My skin is pretty clear, and I did not gain any weight. I would never switch to another birth control!"


"Suffered from Panic Attacks and some depression because of the panic attacks as I was unable to get back to work for three months. Paroxetine has always worked for me without too much side effect. The first few weeks a little nauseous but then it passed as I got use to it (I started with 20mg and now on 10mg). The only drawback is that I've put on weight (one stone extra in the last 7 years but I would rather be a little overweight and well in my head).
I've tried to stop on two occasions in the last 7 years by gradually going down to 5mg and then less and then nothing. On both occasion my body reacted well for about 6 months and then out of nowhere I started to have panic attacks again each time. I've decided to keep taking 10mg."


"This drug is a godsend. I had acne from middle school to high school. I used every product on the self and many prescribes by my dermatologist, oral and topical cream. NOTHING worked. If you've tried up to three dermatologist prescriptions stop and just get accutane. I did not have occasional breakouts I always had at least 10 pimples on my face, scars, body acne, and occasionally cystic acne (not the extreme kind)I had known about accutane years before and thought I would never be able to get that because of the cost and seriousness of the drug. I was wrong, it is not as dangerous as people make it out to be and I promise you will not regret it! Please try it. I was once you and my acne is GONE. I look and feel like a different person"


"I am taking clindamycin for a tooth abscess. I take 300 mg every six hours for 15 days.  When I first started the antibiotic, my left sinus and eye area were very swollen. Two doses of the clindamycin took away all the swelling and helped with the pain. I am on day 7 of taking it. I am pleased with it because it definitely seems to be getting rid of the infection. I got a few manageable side effects - tiredness, thirst, and a metallic chemical taste in my mouth. Just a little diarrhea too, but many antibiotics do that. Drinking a lot of water and taking a daily probiotic really helps lessen these side effects. Always take the medicine with  a full glass of water and food, even if it is just a piece of bread."


"I used to take Celexa when I was very young, and just started it back up today, and I know generally it takes 2-4 weeks to see any real results but let me just say even after only 1 day I can already feel a slight difference. I feel a lot more mellowed out. It may be the placebo effect (me thinking I feel better because I know I took something) but I do feel a bit more calm than usual. I did experience some drowsiness and a little bit of dizziness but it didn't exceed any more worse than that, and it didn't last long. I would definitely recommend this medicine to someone suffering anxiety and depression."


"Been taking 5/40 for 3 yrs, with great results till the brand changed. My blood pressure has been dropping too much now, and I have been experiencing dizzy spells and light headedness."


"I have found 1 x 10mg Singulair tablet at bedtime helps to stop exasperation's in the night."


"In May of 2010 I went into labor at 20 weeks but other than that I do not have any kids. I typically have a high pain tolerance but when I went and got the Skyla put in I started having contractions. This lasted for about 30 minutes and of course did not feel very good. I cramped for the rest of the day, but other than that haven't had any "difficulties". I was on the depo shot for 2+ years and my periods had gone away. I've had light bleeding with the Skyla and was told this was normal. I've only been on it for a little over a month now but I've noticed that past few weeks I have been SUPER hungry. I'm not sure if this is because my "periods" are coming back or what, but I'm hoping this goes away."


"I have been on this pill for about three months now. It's my first type of birth control I've ever taken so I have nothing to compare it to. The first two months, symptom wise, were horrid. I got extreme mood swings, horrid acne (my skin has always been clear), weight gain, and tender breasts. After the two months, however, the symptoms went completely away. I did have irregular periods before but now they come at the exact time thanks to this pill. That's why I gave it 5 stars."


"On 50 mg and have seen a huge improvement in my migraines. Down to 5 per month."


"I took it in the past ( 100 mg) way to high of a dose! Made me feel like I was being smothered as I was drifting off to sleep and it was frightening!
8 years later my doctor convinced me to give it another try as I needed sound sleep and some help with anxiety. (also take 0.1mg lorazepam during the day as needed and one at bedtime.) My dosage was started at 50mg this time and I was having night terrors and weird dreams along with extreme grogginess in the morning. I recently started taking 25 mg and now I only have the dreams and morning groggy feeling! I think at the correct dose it is a medicine worth trying. I'm giving it a few more months to see if I adjust to it."
