"I was prescribed 100 mg every 12 hours with food. I took it as directed. On the third day, I read horror stories on here and was really nervous to continue taking it. However, I did. It cleared up my UTI quickly, within 24 hrs. I experienced nausea, sore throat, coughing, fatigue.. but nothing extreme like some people on here. I stopped taking it on day 4/5 because I am a student and this week I had 3 exams and really could not afford to be sick. It made me feel crappy but nothing too crazy and it did its job in a timely manner. I wanted to share my story so people know it at least works sometimes."


"Best birth control ever.... Lost weight and help with cramps doing period"


"It helped."


"Absolutely the ONLY way I can take Latuda (life saving me for me) is by taking three small doses of Cogentin a day. I had excruciating muscle pain, a strange kind of dizziness, brain fog, and restlessness. I thought it could be some presentation of akasthisia. It was unbearable until I started Cogentin. Wonder if those with side effects are prescribed too high of a dose. I'm taking half of the .5 pill three times a day."


"I had to write a review to sing the highest praises for this medication! I am 48 years old and have PCOS. My current menstrual cycle started 14 days ago....as a normal cycle then increasingly became heavier and heavier. Just like the other women have posted, I was soaking tampons and pads within two hours with no end in sight. I just finished my third dose and I had my last sanitary napkin on for almost four hours before I needed to change it and it still was not full!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can face the world again and I am starting to feel like myself!!!!!! I am scheduled for an ultrasound but I will deal with those results when the time comes....for now, I am thankful for Lysteda!"


"My doctor put me on doxepin 3 months ago. Very skeptical at first thinking how would an antidepressant would help me sleep. IT REALLY DOES WORK. Its amazing, and only side effect I've had is craving sweets....bad! I'm sleeping now though."


"I have a lot of different pains due to fibromyalgia and nerve damage and sciatica and a stroke and spinal cord disease I take 1 20 milligram at night only because it does make you very tired and only time I really noticed it working is when I don't take it then my pain is much worse."


"I was first on the Depo shot in august, and my obgyn said my period may not come at all. My period started 3 days after it was expected to hit; I bled for 9 days and 4 hours into the the 10th day when I contacted my gyno for help she put me on sprintec, my period stopped but only for 12 days then it started again, it got so bad i landed in the hospital with 4 points from a transfusion. This month I was 10 days late and for the last 3 days I have been extremely light on bleeding more like spotting and its not normal red blood its brown. This has me a little worried but I will continue these pills to see if it gets any better."


"I am 54 and had a stent put in with 95% blockage. I was put on Metoprolol 25mg along with atorvastatin and effient. The first month or so was tough as I had headaches, chest pains shortness of breath, etc. I think a large part of it was anxiety from a life changing surprise condition. No more headaches and anxiety is much, much better. I have a bit of shortness of breath, even when sitting at times, but I have been able to jog at the gym. Just started again this week and went 30 minute today. Overall, not sure if anything is working, but I am trying to just trust my Doctor and listen to my body. Very tough emotionally, but adjusting."


"I take this for Periodic Limb Movement Disorder. It works but I have a hard time waking up in the morning. I tried to take it earlier in the evening and it still was hard to wake up. I don't feel like I got a good night sleep because I am groggy most of the day. I will talk to my doctor about different options. If it wasn't for this side effect, it works great for PLMD."


"My saving grace as I have lost 52 pounds. It works and now I can be free to exercise and regain my health. If you really are interested in getting good health, great sex and new sexy clothes. BELVIQ is your answer."


"I am 72 and have used Soma 3 times a day for 3  years.  My pain specialist is reluctant to prescribe but understands that I have tried everything else for chronic intractable muscle spasm related to scoliosis, degenerative disc disease and fibromyalgia. This has worked for me since I was 30 years old dealing with my first herniated disc. I have recently had a spinal nerve stimulator implant and although I seldom have the pain from the pressure on the sciatic nerve I do have considerable pain from muscle spasm. It is the ONLY relaxant that has ever worked for me."


"I usually get 2 UTI per year.  I started a week ago noticing a smell to my urine and some cramping but no pain while urinating.  A few days after that the familiar sting appeared when I would stop the flow of urine.  I knew right away what was happening so I went straight to get a culture done and they put me on macrobid.  I started it on a Saturday morning and was able to sleep peacefully and uninterrupted by that night.  It is 5 days later and I don't feel 100% but close to it.  I have not had any negative side effects from the drug at all.  The first few days my bowel movements looked a funny color but so far nothing as terrible as others seem to have experienced.  In the past I have also taken Cipro and that seems to work about the same"


"I was really excited to try the Paraguard because I had been on the pill before but it made me really sick. The insertion was pretty painful but only lasted a few seconds but after that I experienced the worst pain I have in my entire life. I was cramping everyday and I would take 1000 mg of acetaminophen and nothing. Keep in mind I'm pretty petite and 400mg normally do the trick for me. Two weeks later I got my period and I almost had to go to the hospital because I was on the verge of passing out from how much blood I lost. I have heavy periods and pretty bad cramps so painful periods are common for me but this was a whole other thing. The doctor told me my body was rejecting it. Save yourself the pain don't get it!!"


"It worked after some time"


"I suffer from Sever Psychotic Depression
I've been taking mirtazapine for up to 6 to 7 months. it worked well at the start but after a month it was like stuffing medication inside me and nothing helping. just yesterday I got 30mg and it helped  a lot, maybe they help at the start but I'm scared I will get addicted . I have gained 3 stones because of the medication . I cant stop eating and after eating a big meal  I'm still hungry, I feel lazy most of the time,
Quetiapine is a failure, it will only help to fall asleep 30 mins or an hour after taking it, but the next morning i feel worse hallucinations and illusions
i will request you to see how it goes for the first moth , if theres any cure then great if not the please tell a Psychiatris"


"So much better than past preparations.  The taste isn't bad at all: just sweet water. Much better than lemon-lime products in the past.  The results are predictable with no racing to the bathroom.  Not to be too graphic, but even the "going" is better. It's more like turning on a faucet than an explosion.  All in all, a huge advancement in bowel prep."


"I am 26 and otherwise perfectly healthy. I quit Seasonale after two months when I discovered my blood pressure had become very high (164/112). I had also been experiencing neck pain, a pressured feeling that seemed to be in my veins, which would alternate from one side of my neck to the other, since the second or third week of taking this pill. I was sent for many tests and found that one of my kidneys was mildly swollen (hydronephrosis). It took six weeks for my blood pressure to normalize, it would go down and then back up again. I was very concerned, anxious and depressed. I took hypertension medication for about two weeks as well, and was eventually able to lower my dosage and then stop it altogether."


"Only on it for 8 days. After 5 days started having shortness of breath, muscle spasms in upper back, pounding heart rate, fatigue, stiffness in neck and face."


"Not covered by insurance"


"Severe cough at night.  Doctor diagnosed asthma.  Symbicort 80/4.5 helped with cough but side effects were awful.  Mood, agitation and anger from the steroid were intolerable.   "


"I got a novasure ablation 5 years ago because of the heavy bleeding and having to change pads and tampons every hour. The gush feeling after changing while conducting a 15 min. meeting was unbearable.  The ablation was the best thing ever until... i started bleeding again. My Dr. put me on Provera 2x daily for 7 days following 1x daily for 7 days.  One day passed after completing the prescription and the heavy bleeding with huge clots worse than prior to the ablation, along with severe cramping, similar to contractions is making me regret ever taking this drug. Im on day 3 of heavy bleeding, severe cramping,  terrible bloating that I have never experienced before. I'm feeling discouraged reading that some women bled heavy for more than 2 wks"


"I've tried so many medications that really did nothing for me except give me more mental problems. When I started on Vyvanse, I felt invincible. If you've ever watched the movie limitless, that's exactly how it feels! There was this short period of time that I took a break every now and then, do not do that! It made me chronically bipolar but I've started up on it and it really is the best medication you could have. If you wish to get off of it, I suggest you do so slowly and on days you don't have it, drink caffeine. It took me 6 months to not have that addictive feeling, now I'm back on it because I'm going back to school. It's up to you to say whether the side effects out way the epic benefits. It took me a while to figure that out. Good Luck!"


"This is my 3rd week on this birth control, I have had bad mood swings.. it makes me very very tired and after a few days of being on it I lost my feeling of hunger.. I was 160 now I'm 145 in just 3 weeks.."


"Allergic reaction (swelling, burning, itching, overall irritation) and it didn't cure the yeast infection."


"I was on Loestrin 24 for 6 months. No mood swings or side effects, but I just switched because my breakthrough bleeding got bad. I would have spotting off and on and then I was having a period the week before my brown pills. My doctor said this level of estrogen was too low for my body, but otherwise I think it was fine."


"I have been on this medication for exactly 20 days now, and believe me when I say it has saved my life! I dealt with extremely disturbing intrusive thoughts, leading to to severe anxiety and depression for 4 years. After almost giving up come for my life completely, I finally told my GP about my situation, he and a pysch confirmed the OCD put me on 50mg of Zoloft first week then 100mg and I finally feel like myself again! OCD is minimal and definitely manageable, to the point where it barely bothers me and I only know it'll improve because its only been 20 days! It does give a little diarrhea but its so worth it."


"I have had lumbar and cervical neck surgery. I tried to go without medicine and suffered anxiety/depression and was at times overly ruminating on body symmetry, checking myself for lumps bumps and whatever - I guess after the surgeries and being home, I was now switched on to be ever so vigilant to an anxious degree.

Well anyways I went onto cymbalta and that helped greatly with my chemical imbalance that was causing my depression but I needed a little more to simply be in a relaxed mode. I had tried Lyrica 75mg which was fantastic but the insurance company wanted me to go with gabapentin (Neurontin) 600mg cost savings.

So far gabapentin has been very effective in reducing my pain and my anxious responses. Fantastic!"


"I was reluctant to try Linzess and I wish I'd listened to myself! horrid pain for hours, cramping, stomach pain, belching, lightheaded, chills, and now spasms, definitely a setback in my GI saga. I'm irritable and completely out of sorts too - my poor family!  At one point I thought I'd faint and need urgent care. I'm lucky my kids were here to help. I took it as directed, so that's not the issue. I'm just posting in case anyone else experiencing a negative reaction is wondering if they're alone. You're not. It's not for everyone."


"Feeling horrendous, like I'm being poisoned!
Was prescribed this after a trip to A&E with an upper UTI/kidney infection. I don't normally take meds and I'm trying to avoid antibiotics as I have leaky gut but the Dr urged me to take them as the infection was so bad.
Anyway, the first day or 2 weren't too bad but then I woke up and felt like I'd been hit by a freight train.
Here are some of the things I've been experiencing:
Nausea, bloating, thrush, severe migraine like headaches, loss of appetite, depression and mood swings, paranoia, anxiety, dehydration due to constant urination, burning pain in my limbs and a stiff neck, a feeling of being hungover each morning, dizziness and 'brain fog' and a dry cough! Never taking these again!!!"


"I am a 44 year old Hispanic female. I am 5' 1" and weigh 156 lbs. I wear a size 10-12 dress. I started Saxenda yesterday, August 2, 2016. I am terrified of needles and did not think I would be able to give myself the shot this morning but I handled it like a champ.  I had some slight burning at the injection site but it quickly faded. I have had no nausea but have a horrible headache.I had a slice of wheat bread with 2 tsp. of peanut butter for breakfast and had to force myself to take a few bites at lunch.  I have no appetite and feel full after drinking a glass of water."


"Since getting the implant in I had a few longer periods, and now I haven't gotten it for a couple months. That has been the only advantage so far for me. I was always skinny, then gained 30  pounds from this. Being in my 20's I was horrified. I have to get all new clothes because of mine not fitting, and I was so embarrassed to even go out. I've also never had acne before, and now I've been having major breakouts constantly. I also have no sex drive anymore, I have no energy, and I have been very depressed which has never happened to me before. I am now getting this removed after 5 months of having it. Overall, I would not recommend this option. But of course, this doesn't happen to everyone."


"My doctor put me on Celexa when I started having tension headaches from severe stress.  The headaches were gone after a week of taking the medication.  A week later, I started tripping over my own feet & my pharmacist told me the medication was to blame.  My stress was absolutely more manageable, though!"


"I can't rate this a 10, because nothing works perfectly. But this is the best birth control that I have been on this far. I am 26 years old and I have been on 2 birth control pills previously that had not worked out nearly as well as Cryselle. I developed as I was taking the other birth control pills, many ovarian cysts which led to spotting and constant pain. I also rarely got my period, even while taking the placebo pills. My doctor switched me to this and I regularly get a period now and have little to no pain. For me, this is the best thing that has happened to me."


"This pill is amazing. It is what I always wanted. I have been on it for only about a month and I have already noticed rapid weight loss, my breasts have gotten bigger (b cup to c cup) my acne cleared up and I actually seem much happier. I haven't had any spotting, tenderness, or mood swings but I hear some people get those. I most definitely stick with this pill and I recommend it to anyone. It's truly AMAZING."


"This stuff definitely works. I'm 27 weeks pregnant and have been backed up for the better part of the last two weeks. I'm scared to take anything as far as medications because this is my first and I don't want to chance anything,   Like someone else said, take as recommended and drink water!! Don't over do it it may take as long at 6 hours. And DO NOT take of you have somewhere to be. I would describe this as cramp free for sure, but I would say you may be confused if you're peeing or not. You're probably not peeing, and it's definitely working. Will definitely be replacing my regular laxative!! Oh and it's a little chalky, but not terrible if you shoot it."


"I have Bipolar I and would cycle between mania and depression from around the age of 14 until 21 when I started Lamotrigine. I suddenly felt stable and felt that I had been released from a prison in my mind. While I still need several other medications to keep me stable and grounded in reality, Lamotrigine remains my favorite medicine I have ever taken. It changed and saved my life and I am eternally grateful."


"Was up 5 times a night coughing. This did the trick. Only take the prescribed dose because it is really strong."


"This did take away the pain and got me of the bed it let me do what I had to do. I did not get withdrawals when I stopped it."


"I took Cymbalta for the first time last night. Within an hour I was falling asleep on the couch, which I never do. Usually I have insomnia, but I slept through the night. However, when I woke up I was violently nauseous and had to take an anti nausea medication (which I sometimes use when my anxiety is really bad cause it makes me sick). I attempted to go about my normal day, but found myself having to take two naps because I was excessively tired. I've been watching and reading about this medication all day and I am terrified to take another dose because of the side effects and ultimate withdrawal I'll experience if it doesn't work out. I noticed today, through my headache and tiredness that I felt more calm. I'm praying it works for me!"


"Terrible. Developed rash all over within minutes of drinking a cup of Readi-cat 2. Test was postponed and I was sent home. It took hours for the rash to clear. Thanks to a nurse who noticed the rash and stopped the procedure."


"Xyrem got rid of my pain significantly as well as the feeling of being drained.  I felt as if I no longer had fibro.  The side effects were difficult.  Still trying to work with those."


"Seems to help. I take 100 mg, twice a day in a combination with Lortab 10. Have not had any of the listed side effects other than, I tend to anger quicker, nothing that can't be controlled."


"I started taking this medication twelve days ago I feel very anxious sleeping has improved over the past three days.  I met with friends the other night felt very self conscious agitated and uncomfortable not my normal self at all. Positive -Improved libido. My friends are very concerned as I am very bloated and my brothers were concerned about my rapid breathing. The comments were "you look terrible, bloated and just not yourself ". My appetite has increased and I am now being very careful about the amount of food I eat after all that is my responsibility. Going to the Drs tomorrow for review. Not sure if these symptoms are experienced initially and subside or not will write another review in a few weeks ."


"Previous user of Adipex (phentermine), which would work great for the first few weeks, but then totally wear off, not to mention the side effects (insomnia, heart palpitations, constipation, anxiety) were annoying to deal with. Switched to Bontril and am so happy I did. I feel calm and focused. It's the oddest thing to not have to "stress" over counting calories and choosing good food options. It just sort of is a perk with Bontril. One tip: drink lots of water. Bontril, water and clean eating dropped 8.7 pounds off me in a week. One of the best parts is going to bed and being able to sleep, which was hard with Adipex."


"Excruciating  pain  in ear since  June .Been on tegretol since. From 600mg to 1200

Then surgery. Still  having  pain. Still on 900mg"


"I started a very low dosage and worked upward until I found what worked for me (40mg). However, as my depression got worse and worse, the Prozac actually stopped working altogether no matter how much it was increased! It's a good medicine for mild to moderate depression, but there are better choices for major depression."


"I'm on 100mg a day for depression. I was on 75mg which was then upped to 100mg. It helps me feel relaxed and also helps me sleep."


"I have recently had to stop using the Fentanyl patches, after several years of good results. But my body finally said it had had enough. So, I tried Kadian, which stopped working after a week or so. Now I am on Opana ER, which seems to do a fair job, but it feels too much like Demerol. I take 20mg twice a day, and was using 80mg twice of Kadian, 100mg of Fentanyl every 48 yours. I wish they would make Fentanyl in a pill form. I have no "woosy" feeling with it. I have 5 ruptured discs in my lower back, as well as stenosis, etc. I have tried surgeries, stimulator, etc. "


"I am 43, and Doctor says I am perimenopausal. My progesterone is not high enough. I did not have my period since November. My doctor prescribed me Provera. Have taken for 5 days and started my period on a second day after taking the last pill. Started bleeding like a normal flow on Tuesday. Had minor cramping. Since Tuesday cramping was getting worse and worse. And today on Friday could not go to work as I am passing large blood clots. Have to change super pads every hour. Can't wait for this nightmare to stop. How long can this heavy part last? The last 24 hours were awfully heavy, losing too much blood. Should I go to emergency room? Or should I wait? My doctor said to wait it out. But I am crying, and feeling miserable."


"I have taken Diltiazem for the past week for blood pressure and angina issues (pain in my chest). I has worked wonders; however, it does make you rather dizzy at times. I take this with Plavix as my cardiologist recommended."


"I was having so much pain following my 2nd surgery in a month and I was turning septic too.  It took the final edge off all pain for me that nothing else was helping.  I was on the max dose of morphine and they added the Toradol and I finally was able to sleep and move with out excruciating pain. It was a God-send."


"I've been on ADHD medication for a very long time. My body had built a pretty strong tolerance stimulants.
I combine normally IR Adderall, Vyvanse, and XR Adderall, and now I combine Zenzedi (great, btw), IR Adderall, and this medication and the only thing I noticed is no increase in focus at all but some weird increase in insomnia which is unusual because it's not like an anxiety insomnia but a strange almost increased ADHD insomnia I had growing up. Normally after taking my ADHD medications I can sleep without issue but this one causes me to just stay awake without jitters, focus, anxiety, or anything. I don't care for it."


"This is just great for burns. I am a firefighter, got some small 2nd degree burns. Even though I was completely covered in my protective gear, I still got the burns from an intense wave of black smoke. It takes a lot to burn through the gear. Well anyway, I ended up being sent to the hospital per chief's orders and do not regret it because they put this cream on and it instantly made the stinging pain in my ear go from about  4 out of 10 to a 1. It seems these burns are healing ultra quick and there is little pain associated. No doubt in my mind that this cream works wonders, I am thrilled they gave me a full tube and a refill, I probably won't need more than 1/4 the tube, so it will be nice to have around."


"Has done wonders for my state of mind. I think it's awesome."


"I have tried everything over the counter and by prescription. I feel like I finally found the answer to my middle-aged hormonal acne. This is like a miracle. I do suggest using it consistently for three months for the best results. Glad I didn't give up!"


"Nitrofurantoin caused extreme nausea."


"So I've been on this birth control a little over a month, and now that I read some of the reviews I know I'm not crazy. This pill makes you feel depressed. I'm on the second pack and skipped the sugar pill because I did that with the first birth control I was on and my periods went away. Now I haven't got an actual period but I've been spotting for about 5 days now. Two of days I noticed more blood but still not a lot my regular periods are usually 5 days long so hopefully this is the last day of this weird bleeding. Also the blood looks different first it was very light like a pinkest color, than brown, the back to that light pink color then dark red and looks watery."


"did its job preventing pregnancy, however side effects were not worth it. Crazy anxiety a few days before period, weight gain (15 pounds in 3 months), constantly bloated. had to adjust frequently. i will be going back to a pill."


"This medicine (and Synthroid) raises my blood pressure."


"This may be a little long so I hope you took your medicines today, LOL.  this is my 3rd month on Adderall and it is absolutely a miracle drug for me. I have suffered with extreme fatigue and excessive sleepiness since I was a teenager, I'm  38 now. My doctors have tried me on everything from sleeping pills, to antidepressants, nothing worked. A friend suggested Adderall, I researched it, talked to my doctor about it and we tried Provigil first, which did help, but I was still falling asleep driving, reading, etc. Switched to Adderall. I was so happy I nearly cried when I was telling my doctor how much better I feel. I wish I would have tried this years ago."


"Had the Botox for overactive bladder November 21, 2015. Two days ago had the follow up. Everything went well at the operation, I could void before going home, little bleeding which soon stopped. Having some trouble emptying showing over 200 after voiding.  I'm going to work on voiding completely. I do not wake up the 6 to 8 times at night now to use the restroom, I may wake once now.  When going anywhere, now I'm not tied to the need to use the restroom every half hour like before.  My urgency, frequency are more like normal now.  Taking this time to work real hard on keegle's see in six months if that helps at all. BTW I have secondary progressive multiple sclerosis.  I would highly recommend this procedure."


Dextromethorphan / guaifenesin / pseudoephedrine

"After my daughter was on several OTC and even other prescription products this is the only one that actually worked! I will be requesting Tenar DM from now on from pediatrician."


"This is a wonder drug!"


"I'm so happy with Drysol.  About a year ago, I used to sweat constantly under my armpits no matter what I did.  My problem would only become worse when I would go out in public.  I'd be so afraid to lift my arms, lest I show off my sweat, that I would only sweat more.  I developed anxiety of going out even around friends.  My confidence plunged.  I've only been using Drysol for a short amount of time, but I can already see huge improvements.  My confidence is beginning to return, but I still catch myself feeling under my arms to see if there is any dampness.  Nevertheless, I'm still dry. 10/10 would recommend."


"Had no relief at all from this medicine. Had high hopes that it would lessen pain in knees and hands but unfortunately it did not."


"Had allergic reaction after 4 pills.  Hives, flushing, headache."


"the zyprexa part of this mix means it will work you WILL have weight gain no matter what. But it works I went from daily suicide attempts to being normal within a week of going on this combo. I wouldn't go on this first I would say its a last resort for those who are treatment resistant."


"While it helped with the disorder, I gained 40 lbs in 5 months. I stopped taking it 6 months ago and I already lost 30 lbs."


"I have taken Dalmane 15 mg. since I had breast cancer in 2008. Worked great getting to sleep and staying asleep. I continued using it since I had several surgeries in the past years. This year I wanted to stop taking it. I didn't know after 4-5 weeks you are hooked on them, they are that addictive.It took me almost 3 months to ween myself off them with my doctors help. Dropping the dose and using Benadryl on that night until I wasn't using them anymore. I would try another med. if I never they were do had to stop."


"this drug has changed my life in the worst way ever .i feel like im going to die almost every single day . the only thing that i do now is dround my self in water sit in front of my air conditioner . also i started drinkingto get the feeling to calm down that im about to die . my heart rate is going so fast when i wake up and threwout my day if i dont have a drink of my new pill they gave me xanex i feel like my chest is going to explode . i had a head injury and told my dr that i was feeling edgy not myself ..that i was feeling slightly angry about my situation . this is the drug he put me on for that . now im not sure  how to stop taking it he tells me just stop taking it and i have read a thousand things that say do not stop taking it .."


"I have been taking Belviq for 7 days. I've lost 6lbs. I feel hungry at random times but nothing ever looks good. Portions are really reduced. I had dry mouth first two days but no other side effects. I want to drink water all the time now and can't seem to finish an alcoholic drink. I have polycystic ovarian syndrome which makes weight loss ridiculously hard, this medication is a fantastic motivator."


"I have bulging and degenerative discs from my cervical all the way down to my lumbar.   I would have it rubbed on my back on days when I couldn't get out of bed or stand up. The cream along with my meds would put me to sleep and then allow me to get up pain free. It's really great after a long day."


"Provigil (Modafinil) was an absolute miracle for me to help me control my Multiple Sclerosis related fatigue. I have taken it for nearly 14 years with no side effects whatsoever (200mg two times a day). I liked that it never made me feel edgy, jumpy or nervous and I especially liked that I could still sleep with a 200mg dose on board as well so it didn't absolutely control my sleep patterns. Helpful. Effective. Cost prohibitive if unable to get insurance coverage for it. I have only recently stopped taking Modafinil due to my insurance (which I have the same company for the last 10 years) company not covering Modafinil for off-label uses (crazily, MS Fatigue being one of them?). So far, I am not at ALL impressed by any of the "substitutes"."


"My 6 year old son suffered seizures for over a year until Doctor gave him Dilantin in the hospital. No more seizures after the first dose. It's been 2 years now. Dilantin was a life changing medicine for us."


"Taking this medication 0.25 mg daily with 0.05 mg fludrocortisone after being experimenting with other corticosteroids. It has several advantages over hydro-cortisone and prednisolone: does not increase blood pressure significantly if I'm eating salty food, does not cause insomnia, requires only one single dose daily, and does not makes me hungry as prednisolone does."


"Mirtazapine helped me! A year ago I was in bad shape due to numerous work related issues. Sleepless nights, pain on the left muscle aside my chest, feeling depressed. After a few days I felt a difference and I started to feel better bit by bit.
I started with 15mg, but upgraded to 30 mg which I use even until today.

Taking this medicine made me realize that my lifestyle was in a worse shape. I didn't do much to relax myself and my endless thoughts kept dominating my mind at night.

In combination, I'm forcing myself to eat healthy and sport as much as I can. Taking magnesium is also a daily habit.

If you recognize yourself in this, try to stay optimistic. I know it's hard. You have nothing to lose."


"Vyvanse is amazing.  eat a lot of food in the morning with it or your brain will not operate properly with or without vyvanse.  I also eat flaxseed cereal in the morning and take an omega fish oil pill in the morning.  No pill will cure my ADD  but it will help me tremendously when I eat proper brain foods with it. I have lost weight on it . i am a 26 yr old male 6ft2 184 lbs.  before vyvanse I weighed 204 lbs.  it has only removed some of the fat from my body. It is a great medicine if you eat"


"I am on my first pack, one and a half weeks before my placebo week. I had dark brown spotting for three weeks, starting the second month. It has progressed into a period. I'm going to do one more pack to see if anything changes, but this is a horrible side effect. I chose Jolessa because I'm a newly wed and I didn't want as many periods. In addition to the spotting, my sex desire doesn't exist. This is very challenging, as my breasts have grown significantly and my husband like breasts. On a positive note, I didn't get pregnant while I was able to have sex. That's wonderful. Now, I can't get pregnant because I'm not having sex. Thanks Jolessa."


"It really helped my husband's lung infection.  It was great!"


"Oligoastrocytoma WHO ll: It stopped the growth of the brain tumor that I've been fighting for ten years.  I'm one of the lucky ones. Keep fighting."


"Suprep Bowl Prep Kit was the vilest tasting thing I've encountered in 76 years.  If you plan to use this preparation for a colonoscopy, find a way to mask the taste.  The Suprep left me with a very upset stomach nearly 24 hours after ingesting the first of the two bottles.  At times, while drinking the preparation I experienced some nausea.  It did do the job of cleaning the colon, but it took a very long time to do it.  The drug may work wonders for others, but I won't touch it again."


"I have been on the Viibryd for a month.  I have had NOTHING.  I feel no different than before I started.  No side effects and no change.  Recently, I have been on the 40mg for 2 weeks now and I cannot sleep and I wake up SOAKED in sweat. This is my first attempt at an antidepressant, so maybe it is not the right one for me."


"5 days now.  Free 2 week trial - why not!  The 1st 2 days horrible.  My sleep is deeper, however, it is harder to wake up.  I have noticed a cough, not bad, just annoying.  I don't feel like my appetite is suppressed - I still eat 3 meals a day and sometimes a snack - however, I'm utilizing the "lose it" app - low cal diet (approx. 1200/day) and doesn't seem to hard.  I have STILL lost 2.6 lbs in 5 days.  Usually, with a low cal diet, you usually lose approx. 2lbs/week.  I noticed I was voiding a lot - so wondering if it was water weight that was lost - however, I am drinking more fluids including water.  I will continue to update! Have 50 lbs to lose.  Will incorporate exercise next week!"


"The second pill made me feel confused, anxious, lightheaded."


"it calms my raging mind"


"Started taking this medication for GAO. I had never taken any medication regularly before. I got diagnosed with GAO at 31.

Started on a low dose 5mg per day and over the course of a month it got bumped up to 15 mg twice a day.

This drug didn't give me immediate relief. It took six weeks but all of the symptoms of my GAO have disappeared. I am finally reaping the rewards of the full clinical effect, I feel like myself again!

Initially I had side effects like dizzyness, ringing in my ears and nausea but over time they have lessened. I still don't feel too hot for the first hour after I take it but after that hour, I'm golden. I had to be patient and just deal with my GAO, which sucked.
My take: The juice is worth the squeeze"


"Terrible mood swings, cramps all month long, constantly  bloated, made my periods way worse, and there was an irritating discharge. Never again. I'd rather have to remember to use the pill every day. Plus, doctors have told my friends  that haven't had kids yet they can't use it, and I can't find any information as to why."


"My 9 year old son started taking Vyvanse when all the other ADHD meds failed. Although he still had his fits sometimes they are few and far between. His grades in school are improving and he is able to pay attention better."


"Worked like a charm for me. I did the full 90 days. Of course I became diabetic afterwards had another family member who had the same problem but no doctor will touch that theory, but I no longer smoke. It had been a year and 3 months for me."


"If taken as prescribed, it worked wonders. I am very happy my doctor had me try this. I've taken so many over the counter drugs, with a lot worse side affects. This works for me."


"To all of you freaking out right now try to relax. Just like many others I was really scared that I got my girlfriend pregnant after we had unprotected sex. She took the pill about 26 hours after the incident, her period came on time and she didn't have any major side effects. The pill works!"


"I thought I was losing my mind, but per these reviews, I think my suspicious are founded.  I've been on Estarylla for ~6 months as my pharmacy replaced this with the Sprintec I've been taking for about 6 years now.  Never any issues with Sprintec, it was by far my favorite BC.  This BC is the worst I've ever had.  I've had months with break-thru bleeding (like 3 weeks of bleeding vs at most 1...), I've put on about 10 lbs, I have no desire to do anything but eat and not workout (not like myself AT ALL) and no libido.  I called my OB/GYN and she immediately suspected the BC.  I will be switching back to Sprintec per her "dispense as written" on my prescription.  Ladies, heed the warnings of the others and myself, do not take this pill..."


"I have smoked for 38 years. I liked smoking. I never let my cigarettes run out. They were a friend. I could not imagine life without cigarettes. Chantix changed that. Chantix made cigarettes less important to me. I dwindled down to one cigarette a day over 6 weeks and when the pack ran out, I didn't buy another one. I had the crazy dreams, brief nausea and I also became terse, impatient, and snappy. When I started the 8th week I decided to cut down to one pill a day to wean myself off the drug. I am still smoke free.  My mood has improved.  I feel more like myself only I don't want to smoke. If I can Quit, You can Quit. Try it. LIVE BETTER WITHOUT CIGARETTES. GOOD LUCK!"


"I've never encountered hay fever allergies prior to this spring, so as soon as it all began, I decided to do some research. Allegra looked like my best bet because it claimed that drowsiness was not a side effect, and I was told it would work quickly! I decided on the 24-hr. I have yet to notice a difference and have not been sleeping very well! "


"I can't believe how I lost 13lbs taking 15 mg in 7 days. I do exercise and eat 2 healthy meals a day ."


"I am 51 years old and had been smoking since I was 14 years old. About a pack or so a day. I have been taking Chantix for 3 weeks. Unbelievable results so far. It's like I had never been a smoker before. Yes there are dreams but not Night Terrors just dreams about people in my life or people I would like to have in my life. I absolutely highly recommend this medicine if you WANT to quit. It's awesome! My wife is on it as well and she would echo my comments here too."


"I have struggled with my weight for many many years.  I've always told my husband that I feel like I do not have an "off" switch in my stomach or full signal from my brain - never truly having had a feeling of fullness.

Belviq has truly changed that for me.  No more food cravings (especially for carbs and sweets). I am eating healthy portions of food, and it takes far far less on my plate to feel satisfied.  Combined with some exercise  I go to the gym for cycling or treadmill when my schedule allows it, or I walk my dogs, I am seeing results.  I've been on Belviq for a month and a half and am down 16 pounds.  I'd like to lose approximatly 50 more.  For the first time in my life I feel like a "normal" eater."


"I waited years to take this until I found a doctor who used it for Rosacea.  I think I was on it for less than 3 months and it totally changed my skin for the better. Accutane was a miracle cure for me.  I took it about 25 years ago and have rarely had to deal with Rosacea since.  When it does flare up I can handle it with tiny amounts of topical medication.  But follow the rules and don't become pregnant.  This is serious medicine."


"This is a great drug for anybody that has gastrointestinal issues when taking metformin. It is a mix of metformin and avandia. For some reason the avandia lessens those side effects. For me the side effects disappeared completely. For my wife the side effects were only lessened."


"So far, Abilify seems to be the one drug that has worked for me. My mood is much more stable and I have actually been feeling good for the first time in a long time. One good side effect is that it has caused me to lose weight. I really don't have much of an appetite anymore. At the beginning I had quite a bit of nausea but that has passed. A negative side effect I have been experiencing is sleepiness. It is almost to the point where I can't function during the day because I am so tired. My doctor recently cut my dose in half so I am hoping that does the trick."


"I just recently had my 2nd Implanon inserted. I got the first one done in October 2007 and had it taken out November 2010 and a replacement put right back in. Since I have had it in my arm, it is still sore a week later and sometimes feels like it is poking me...sharply. I am hoping this goes away soon. With the first one I didn't have a period for first 2 years and then had maybe 4 a year after. I didn't have really any side effects. Although sometimes I can be irritable a little more easily. It has kept me from getting pregnant for sure. I have 3 kids all conceived on birth control so this is the first to have worked. "


"Thank you Prednisone you are my best friend. Within 3 hours the I could walk with a limp and little pain. By morning I could wear a shoe on my foot. The swelling was almost completely gone. Gouty Ankle and mid foot."


"I turned my life around after 35 years of the hell of opiod/methadone dependence.
Vietnam Vet and I had been shot and injured .It started with percocets and percodan, dilaudid and all related drugs. After back surgery, my Dr. stopped my pain meds after 2 years. NONE. I had a profitable  business and could  buy off the street for about 2 years but chasing  drugs and the costs took took all my money.On methadone for 30 years. Tried repeatedly to detox with no luck. A VA  Sadistic DR. decided to completely stop my meth dose (100mg) no taper. After 11 days of hell a friend gave me 8mg suboxone. Except for a bit of constipation, my life is NORMAL. A wonder drug in my case. Many Drs. with just an 8 hour class are able to prescribe from their office."


"Only took it one time, my lips swelled up so much."


"I was on 150mg at first as I was suffering from major depression and terrible anxiety. I was also seeing a councillor once a week. The 150mg didn't really help me but then the doctor increased it to 225mg and the improvement started quickly. A few months later the depression has gone and I rarely get any anxiety. This medicine has saved me. I was heading for a major breakdown and

had constant suicidal thoughts. The only thing that kept me going was my young son as I knew I had to stay for him and would fight to the bitter end until I got well again. Now I'm so much better. It's so strange when you look back on how ill you were only a short time ago and how quickly things can change and improve with this medicine and therapy."


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


"It took about 5 weeks to start working completely. My gynecologist told me to not give up. After 3 weeks I was still getting hot flashes daily. I continued as prescribed and Zero hot flashes!! No side effects. One year using"


"I needed to take this due to another medication I was taking. Never needed to be on anything else. Very happy with results"


"Mobic worked for me but it gave me dry mouth and it was hard on my stomach."


"I've had problems with depression off and on for most of my life. The first really severe depression happened when I was 24, and that was also the first time I was prescribed Effexor. I had been off it for several years, until just a few years ago when I had another relapse of major depression, mostly due to things in my life. I have to say that Effexor literally saved my life. There is no such thing as a "happy pill," and Effexor won't magically cure you overnight. BUT it takes the edge off the depression so you don't feel quite so hopeless, and you are able to function again and can go to counselling. It just kind of eases the symptoms of the depression. I had NO side effects from it, other than a very slight drowsiness in the beginning."


"My Hemorroids are gone! Thank you!"


"I took this pill for 5 months in which I gained 25lbs. I stopped taking it but continued to gain weight. I've gained a total of 60lbs. Despite exercise and diet I've been unable to lose any of the weight. I started the pill when I was 40, I was never in the pill before that. One doctor told me when you start BC in your 40'sit can throw your hormones out of whack. It's been almost 2 years since I stopped the pill and still have not been able to lose 1lb. If this happened to you please let me know"


"I am 14 years old. I once had a moderate heart attack, and afterwards, my heart was constantly hammering away. Just sitting sown my pulse was 180 bpm. This led to enlarged heart and high blood pressure. I've been on this medicine for 3 years now, and it has probably saved my life from another heart attack. I recommend it to anyone with my problem."


"I am 51, and have been on Adderall for 15 years. I take 20mg twice a day. It helps me concentrate, and stay focused. I skip taking it for one day every week, this helps me see where the Adderall helps in my life, and was suggested by my doctor to help my body not build a tolerance to Adderall. At this time I personally don't  believe Adderall is "addicting", when taken properly. While on vacation, I went a week without it, and never felt any withdrawal's from the Adderall.  I keep my Adderall, and other med's in a metal lock box, that locks onto a shelf in my fridge, because people do abuse Adderall."


"I had my paragard for a little over a year and I'm so glad I got it taken out!! I had a normally heavy period before but when I started the paragard it was absolutely awful! I've never bleed that much in my whole life! Of course at first I thought it was because I had just had a baby... But 1 yr later it was still the same. Not to mention my sex drive was nonexistent.... Sex was painful and not appetizing at all! As soon as the paragard was out it was an instant relief! I felt 100% normal again! Needless to say I will never again have any form of an iud."


"I used to get migraines 2 days out of every 3, and 2 Excedrin would work about half the time, the other half I needed Imitrex.  After about a month of taking 5 mg/day of amlodipine, which was initially prescribed for borderline hypertension (140/90), my headaches went to once/week, and they were all treatable with one 1 Excedrin.  I only need Imitrex now once every two months instead of of two or three times a week.  What a difference in my life!  I don't understand why this medication isn't used more frequently for migraine sufferers."


"I was put on this medication to help with pain associated with endometriosis. I have suffered with it for years. When I first started it, I had break through bleeding, extremely sore breasts and mood swings. Eventually after a couple months, my body adjusted and the breast tenderness subsided pretty much and I no longer had irregular bleeding. I was instructed to take this medicine for 3 months continuously and have a period only once every 3 months. I also suffer with migraines so my doctor put me on topomax 50 mg to help prevent them. The medicines interacted each other and I bled so heavily and had labor like cramps. I stopped topomax and my body still hasn't regulated."


"If you are experiencing any symptoms of PMS, PMDD, or pre-menopausal symptoms, you may want to consider Lexapro. It has made such a significant change for the better in my life. I was beginning to think there was nothing that could help me or my husband and then a co-worker suggested Lexapro and I am so grateful she did. No mood swings, hot flashes, irritability and no more cold hands. My hands would get so cold and the rest of me would be going through a hot flash so I could never get comfortable but since I've been on Lexapro, none of the above mentioned symptoms are a problem any longer."


"I just started taking Daliresp again 10-23-16 the only problem that I have is I can't sleep.I can't  go to sleep or stay asleep.and when I do go to sleep it's only for a few hrs.than I am awake again.I take it before and stop taking it because I could sleep.I really don't know at this time if it works or not.haven't been on it long enough to know.that's one of the side effects.so what can u do to stay asleep?"


"I started this medicine 09 DAYS ago. I had my first panic attack ever like a month ago. My anxiety started about 2 months ago after receiving a phone call with a bad news. I was so anxious that I stopped eating and sleeping. During those past two months I was feeling very anxious in the mornings and afternoons and some times back to my normal self at night. I developed a social phobia as well.
Paxil has terrible side effects, nausea, insomnia, total loss of appetite ( didn't have much to start with) drowsiness, involuntary muscle movements...... etc. I thought about stopping it the third day because of insomnia. I made it to day 9 and my anxiety isn't realty better.doc said give it more time."


"I've been on 200mg Zoloft daily for the last 6 years and finally have a manageable, stable life, a positive attitude, I'm creative, no depression at all...My craving for alcohol disappeared after 20 years of drinking...I'm a whole new man, thank you! My mother is happy to have her son back..."


"I love this medicine! It has quite literally saved my life, and has made my life much more livable. Whenever I would do anything physical, my heart would beat so fast that I would frequently faint. I went to my cardiologist, and she gave me a holter monitor. She saw what I was talking about and gave me 50mg of Toprol-XL everyday. That was over 3 years ago, still on the same dosage, and it is wonderful. For the first few months, I was a little over tired, but that side effect quickly went away."


"It worked, a little too well. I became indifferent to EVERYTHING. inside it was like a part of me was screaming, but my whole body and 90% of my brain just did what it needed too. I am normally a goofy, fun loving, hyper personality. I do get bouts of seemingly unshakable depression and anxiety, but while on this medication, I noticed a change in myself... beyond the tunnel vision, and kaleidoscopic hallucinations I had when waking up in the middle of the night... every night. the final straw was was seeing my now wife, looking like she lost her best friend, as I just wasn't myself. I stopped taking the mediation, and within 2 days started singing to her again, and nothing brought a smile like that to her face until we said "I do"."


"Makes me very fatigued. Almost zombie like. I have a hard time concentrating on anything. Hoping it just takes some time to get in my system and work correctly. If not, going to see if I can get in something different."


"I was origininally on Loestrin 24 Fe for almost three years, I then switched to this because loestrin 24 Fe switched brands I guess? So I figured I'd try something new. I'm 19 and have now been on lo loestrin for almost 2 months, I have noticed a major breakout of acne in my chin area. I never breakout so it was very unusual for that to occur, I as well noticed a weight gain of abuout 5-6 pounds just in these two months. I am pretty active and eat well and normally can't gain weight, so I am still not happy about that. I have also noticed having intense headaches, I'm not sure if its from the birth control, but i've never had them like this before. The pill does decrease any cramping or nausea I had previously. Probably going to switch back"


"I don't understand all the horror stories about Suprep. I had no problem drinking it. It tastes like grape ice pops, but only sweeter..not at all disgusting like some make it to be and I have very picky taste buds. As as as doing its job, I drank the first bottle mixed with cold water at 8 pm followed by 2 additional 16 oz drinks of cold water within the hour. It started taking effect 2 hours later. I had several watery bowel movements till midnight. I then went to sleep and was awakened with another urge to go at 4 am. I then stayed awake and drank the 2nd part of the prep at 6:15 which really did the trick after several runs to the bathroom. This was my 4th colonoscopy and Suprep was by far the best and easiest prep for the procedure."


"I began taking this medication after I had a very complicated, invasive surgery due to a ruptured appendix left to leak for three days, peritonitis, etc, for the nausea that accompanied surgery, and condition itself; it worked wonders, kept me from vomiting, and kept the nausea entirely at bay.

I recovered well and stopped the medication a week after surgery, however, about 3 weeks post op, I began experiencing constant nausea and pain, without a known cause, which made my life absolutely miserable constantly. I couldn't eat or drink without nausea and feeling like I was about to vomit, couldn't function normally, lost several pounds, and felt like crap constantly. Then, my surgeon prescribed this medicine, and life was okay. :)"


"Straterra is changing my life. I held out for 4 months with the side effects and now the improvements are extremely significant. My memory is better and I can get myself easier into a concentration mode. Although it does not fight all symptoms, it enables you to start taking action against it, if that makes sense."


"I started taking Jolivette 6 months ago after I had my daughter since I was breastfeeding.  After 1 month and a half I was late taking a pill one day and the next day I started my period that last 5 days. Then the next month no period.  Than the next month I was spotting.  Each month as been different and unpredictable. I haven't had any side affects, besides the fact its a lot harder for me to lose weigh than with my first born. I don't know if the birth control is the cause but I'm guessing it is. The only negative thing about the pill is irregular periods and weigh gain."


"Admittedly, when I started Prozac and up until I stopped taking it, I was not very honest with my therapist on my emotional state, so I never changed medication despite it's lack of effect on me. I was taking it to help with my depression and anxiety, and it didn't help with either. It didn't have any negative effects on me, but it didn't have any positive effects either. I had started at 10 mg, went up to 20 mg, and finally 40 mg. For each one, it seemed to help at first but wouldn't after around two weeks. Although it wasn't right for me, I know that it's been quite helpful to friends of mine and it wouldn't hurt to try it out yourself."


"I'm on day four with two 10 mg tablets twice daily and I feel so good! I have fibromyalgia and a bulging disk. I cannot believe how much better I feel. I am looking so forward to meeting with my doctor in 14 days to see what the next step will be. Side effects are minimal, slight headache, heart pounds a bit but I can move pretty freely. I'll take the bad over the extreme pain any day."


"On day 8 of 10. Avelox has made me extremely tired, fatigued, dizzy and feel strange all day. Occasionally nauseous. I really don't like taking pills, especially these with all of possible scary side effects. I must say that my mucus is gone and hopefully stays. So, I guess you can say this works."


"As an A-Detachment medic i was forced to use this drug for over two years straight.  I was also in charge of malaria chemoprophylaxis for my team.  During the loading dose my guys started complaining of weird dreams and depression.  Returning from South America at least 3 out of 11 of the team guys divorced their wives.  By the time I raised the BS flag and started a new preventive treatment another 3 were on their way to divorce or had separated from spouse due to depression and other issues like anger and other issues directly associated with Lariam.  I wrote an extensive report and pass it along to 7th Group Surgeon but did not even get a courtesy reply.  Today I walk around with multiple issues depression, other mental and physical....."


"I put the Nexplanon in August 2016 and had it removed in October 2016. 31 years old, no kids yet. Very little after I had the Implant Nexplanon put in, I started bleeding black blood with cramping for now 10 weeks plus. I went to the doctor three times complain of pain and bleeding black stinky blood and those times I was told by 2 different gynecological doctors that it was fine & it would go away in time. Well it didn't even now that it's been removed a little over more than a week I am still bleeding today. Finally I went to another doctor who decided to do a ULTRASOUND PELVIC & TRANSVAGINAL & he said that it worked too well that my endometrium normal size is 8mm minimum & mine is now 2mm so thin blood is going through. risk of infertility"


"I took 2.5 milligrams of abilify for a month, then the generic came out and I had to use that because the insurance wouldn't pay for brand name. It was the worst experience I've had, I couldn't stay awake so I started taking it at night time still really bad result so I called my insurance company and I called my doctor and I'm now back on the regular abilify brand name 5 milligrams. However I'm afraid of the weight gain I've already gained weight on Cymbalta and I'm afraid I'll gain more on the abilify however it does make me active enough for hopefully I'll be able to walk a lot of it off or something, does anybody have any suggestions to keeping the weight off?"


"I'm in agony while writing this review. I went out at midnight tonight to buy this stuff so I can get relief. Big mistake! I cannot lie still on my bed because I'm in so much pain. Who would make such product to worsen the symptoms already experienced from the yeast infection?? I can't believe with so many negative review this company has not make this product better. It's been 30 mins since I apply the cream and suppository and it still be burn. Never again would I buy this."


"I've been taking 25mg amitriptyline for a little over a year. For migraines it works fantastic but I think I might need to start a higher dose due to a slowly decreasing effectiveness. Still working great though."


"Best one out there."


"After years of being in pain and having test after test  to see why I was  exhausted, my doctor placed me on a short course of this. I LOVED IT! 48 hours into it, my pain went from unbearable to really almost unnoticeable. I had never been on it.  The absence of constant, debilitating pain in my life was like a miracle. I have been off it now for a few days and the pain is returning. I had no side effects other than a slight increase in appetite. I made sure to take it on time and with food. I was afraid of this drug but prefer it any day over narcotic pain killers which only mask and make me drowsy and sluggish."


"A very good medicine. Results in two days."


"I've had chronic lower back pain for over two years (herniated disk). I can't say for sure what has relieved my pain, but ever since taking diclofenac my pain almost immediately has gone from being almost completely debilitated,  to being able to function physically at the level I was at when pain started. Still have pain and not 100%, but my quality of life is back and I feel much more fluid and agile.  For almost six months I could hardly get out of bed, let alone tie my shoes."


"I will NEVER use this medication again!! I inserted the medication on Wednesday morning and the whole day I felt an uncomfortable feeling, burning sensation and  all of my symptoms had not gotten better, they had gotten worse. I had to make a last minute appointment with my doctor on Thursday morning. The nurse practitioner was able to clean out the medication from my vagina. The ovule had exploded and just felt like something foreign was sitting inside of me. It was a heavy feeling. Moral of this story, the nurse practitioner does not recommend these over the counter yeast infection solutions and I will never purchase again. In the end I didn't have a yeast infection come to find out I have a UTI! Ugh!!!"


"worked like a charm for pain and anxiety for migraines you have to start slow and get used to it after that its better than mothers milk and a safe alternative to oxys opama ext   old school drug when people were responsible and didn't need so much control,,,,,do they still make it in the old form ,,,don't drive tho remember"


"Used this diligently for 10 months - no polish and used an emery board to file the top of the nail to let the medication penetrate better.  Saw perhaps a small improvement then went on vacation and wore polish for a week.  After taking the polish off toenails looked just as bad as before I started.  I did continue to apply the product the week I wore the polish.  Still using to complete the one year required before supposedly seeing an improvement, but I'm not holding my breath."


"I suffer  from psoriatric arthritis and leg and foot pain and fatigue. I work retail an am on  feet 8 to 10 hours a day.  I never felt rested as my legs would cramp and my feet would feel as if pins were pricking them along with electrical shock type feel.  My balance started to be affected and my toes were numb all the time. Doctor prescribed Metanx and said I would feel better in about 3 mos or sooner..I was skeptical..at first my feet felt like odd as if they were resisting on purpose and I began to feel life in my toes again,,by the 2nd month I showed great improvement..I even look better as I am getting a good nights rest now. I highly recommend this product for leg and foot pain, be patient..you will not regret it."


"It makes you go, that's for sure. Took one before bed and got up to give my baby a bottle at 4.30am, gave him his bottle but when I was putting him back into his cot I felt sudden sharp cramping and I knew I had to run to the bathroom. Had violent diarrhea and intense cold sweating, I started feeling nauseous and extreme abdominal pain, so bad that I woke up on the floor covered In sweat, I don't know how long I passed out for but I was so confused when I woke, the pain was gone. I passed out cause my body couldn't handle that level of pain ..I've had two children and didn't pass out...this stuff is  unbelievable"


"I've been dreading this all week. Read every awful review, and every scary web page. I don't do well with gross-tasting stuff and have been scared to death I wouldn't get this stuff down. Just finished the first liter and it was TOTALLY FINE. It's not tasty, but it's not THAT bad. I definitely recommend refrigerating and using a straw and holding your nose. It was NO issue to drink, and I generally have a weak stomach. It works well as well, I think. Have to run to the bathroom every five minutes or so...sort of like peeing out of a different spot (TMI, sorry). So, all in all, so far so good. Was NOT even close to as bad as I feared. At all."


"I have completed my second shot on Tuesday and will be getting my 3rd shot this Tuesday, and have not had any relief in either knee. Both knees seem exactly the same as before I had the shots.  Over the past 3 years I have had about 3 cortisone shots in each knee every year. That gave immediate relief, although only a temporary fix. I am hoping after Tuesday, I'll get some relief. The doctor told me to be patient for an additional SIX weeks."


"After reading several other reviews, I've realized that every real major issue I've had over the past 7 weeks (how long I was using it) has been because of this thing. My anxiety and depression has been at an all time high, the past three days I haven't been able to keep anything down, and I've definitely experienced the low libido several others have mentioned. After lying on the floor in nauseous agony and reading the reviews i tore it right off. I don't want to say I'm already feeling better but honestly.
This is my first time using bc other than condoms and I chose the patch cuz I knew I would have trouble with the pill. But after my experience I wish I had chosen something different. would not recommend."


"I took my first dosage around 5pm and by the next morning I felt drunk and disoriented. My side effects are as follows: grinding my teeth, awaking off and on all night, shaking, dilated pupils, mild stomach ache and headache, fatigue, weakness, nervous, loss of appetite (which I was okay with) and diarrhea. I couldn't stand for very long therefore I didn't even attempt going to work. So, I stayed in bed all day and probably by 4 or 5pm that day I felt a lot better. Still groggy but I could function. I skipped taking another dose and went to work the next morning feeling like it was still in my system and I felt good. I'm weaning onto the medicine by 1/4 of the pill for a week then 1/2 the second and so on. Seems to be working and no side effects."


"Hey! I've been been in 4   road accidents and has a neck fracture of the second cervical vertebra, and severe pain in his back and legs.  I have been taking oxycontin for about 1 and a half years."


"I have been on the drug about 7 weeks and have had no real change in my acne just real dry chapped lips and dry skin but spots are still here, how long til it changes and they start to go away?"


"I've been on trinessa for about a year and just got off it. While being on trinessa I noticed more a lot of mood swings and changes in my libido, all which started when I started on the pill. My period became a lot lighter and a lot shorter- usually only 2 days. I didn't gain weight or have issues with acne. Certain times of the month my breasts also seemed larger and tender. (Not 100% sure if it was just from it being a certain time of the month or the pill though)
The only things I didn't like with this medicine is the mood swings, but again, I knew what to expect and when to expect it and when it was happening. That and remember to take them at the same time everyday."


"Works well! Went from around 150/90 to 120/70 on this med. 20 mg a day. I should note that when under some stressors it didn't work as well, like hospitalized with pneumonia, but they gave me something else during my stay to help get it down again."


"A stronger dose was better for me but then I got side effects that would not subside."


"Been at this 2 weeks, 23 male - and I've got to say, the results are beyond my wildest expectations. Having run the gauntlet of antidepressants, stimulants, mood stabilizers, and seroquel (arrrrgh!) what surprised me most about this med was how fast it kicked in! I went from a suicidal-existential hole to -dare i say it - normal in a matter of weeks! I started out on 20 but it wasnt until I reached 40 on the second week I began to see results. Last night I went out on a date - and those with social anxiety associated symptoms will appreciate just how much of an accomplishment this is after months of wallowing in self pity. It does cause slight akathasia, but it's very slight and completely worth it. Im smiling, engaged, and content!"


"Probably one of (if not the best) pain reliever on the market when used for acute pain. Or when coupled with a long lasting "around the clock" pain reliever it can be used for breakthrough pain."


"This medicine worked at first, but after taking it for a few (2) weeks, I developed anxiety & panic attacks. I've had panic attacks in the past but not like these. I wasn't afraid of anything specific; it was like a constant fear. Also, my heart would race so bad. I am being weaned off this & switching to Zyprexa."


"I've been on this birth control for almost a year. It started out great and my periods were regular and light. My breasts also got bigger, which was an advantage. Right away I noticed the biggest change in my lifestyle: my sex drive plummeted and I became extremely emotional. I went from having sex with my boyfriend every day to maybe once a week, and it so difficult for me to get turned on. I'll watch a commercial with a dog in it and cry, or sob uncontrollably when my boyfriend does something nice for me. It's ridiculous. I also gained a lot of weight since starting Mononessa, and always feel tired and foggy. It has been effective with preventing pregnancy, but is not the right birth control for me."


"I tried Movantik and it worked very quick but made my stool pure blood. I had heard about that side effect before but never experienced it until then. It scared the hell out of me. I haven't taken it since."


"A true miracle!  I'm 36 and have been living with pain for years - along with panic attacks and chronic anxiety.  Was given various prescriptions and decided I did not want to live dependent on pills - the side effects were just too much.  Yesterday my doctor encouraged me to try Lyrica.  With hesitation I took the first pill last night and woke up feeling like I did 10 years ago!  I'm still shocked. I haven't noticed any side effects, but this is definitely worth every penny!"


"Had it recommended by the chemist rather than codeine
I didn't think anything worked for a toothache but ibuprofen worked for me 2 tabs for start then 1 when it wares off about 6 hours, while waiting for the dentist appointment."


"so my vagina is on fire. and not in a good Beyonc"


"I was 31 years old before I began taking Ritalin. I take a small dose, 10mg in the morning and 10mg early afternoon. I wish I had been prescribed this medicine years ago. I drive a truck for a living but I also do a lot of self study (audio and printed books) and Ritalin has greatly increased my productivity with the latter and safety with the former. I experience VERY few side effects. My mind used to wander quite often, I just thought I had an active imagination, but it was a problem. I have not lost my ability to imagine or abstract yet I have lost of tendency to wander aimlessly into unrelated thought. I have also lost my ability to get lost so often while driving!"


"I had fairly clear skin until I turned 25. My skin started freaking out and everyday I was waking up with a new cysts under my skin. Most of them gathered on my right cheek. I literally became a hermit for months and months because my self esteem was at an all time low. I could feel people staring at them during conversations.

My dermatologist put me on two separate antibiotics and both seemed to actually make my skin worse. At my most recent visit, my dermatologist put me on Bactrim. We both talked about how I will have to get on accutane if this didn't work.

After a week of taking Bactrim, my skin is completely clear (minus the scarring). I couldn't be more pleased. Finally feeling like myself again. :)"


"After reading horror stories about birth control online, I was very nervous to start taking the pill. I decided to try Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo, and it was the best decision I could have made. I never gained a single pound, my mild acne disappeared and my periods became regular, light and short. I should also add that I have unprotected sex regularly and have never had a pregnancy scare. This pill worked wonderfully for me and I honestly believe that its the best birth control out there.

CON: I only experienced one side effect from this birth control pill: Every month, after taking the first pill of the pack, I experience intense nausea. THIS SIDE EFFECT DOES GO AWAY after time."


"It actually works."


"Like with everyone else, was switched to this medication unknowingly. I receive my birth control in a 6 month supply and this last bulk included 2 Minastrin packs. I used Loestrin for a good 2 years and had absolutely NO side effects. I'm halfway through my second pack of Minastrin and I've been bleeding 2-3 days every other week (which isn't a huge deal, more annoying than anything), horrible lower back pain that will not cease, I've cried 4 times just in the past few days over nonsense, and have been in a generally depressed state. I made sure there were no other stressors that could've triggered this ridiculous emotional roller coaster and finally connected the dots and realized these symptoms presented after starting Minastrin....."


"I have been on 5 birth control pills in the past 6 years, and Loestrin 24 is by far the best. I was taking Loestrin, but a different dosage and like it. I switched to Yaz because it was cheaper. I already didn't like Yaz, and that's when my insurance company switched me to the generic Ocella...horrible life decision.  I had horrible mood swings and pretty much had no control over my anger.  My boyfriend and I both recognized that there was a major problem and went back to my doctor who was able to put me back on Loestrin, but this time the Loestrin 24.  It has been a God send.  I had spotting and bleeding for about 3 weeks and now, barely anything.  No complaints and I'm sure my boyfriend (now fiance) appreciates it too."


"After 2 heart surgeries I developed severe anxiety.  I also had constant chest pain that was not cardiac related as well as being afraid to sleep lying flat because I couldn't breathe.  Before that I was always the calmest person in any situation and suddenly being distracted by irrational fears was devastating for me.  My doctor prescribed Lexapro 20 mg daily which I initially did not take because I didn't want to be on an SSRI.  After a severe panic attack while on duty, I started taking the medication and experienced complete relief of my anxiety and panic attacks within a week.  I have not experienced any of the side effects except some gas, and my high sex drive has not been affected."


"I got the nexplanon inserted March 2015 .... at first it was ok but the second month I bled so much and had sooo many blood clots. After 3 weeks it was over but I have mood swings , I'm lazy and gained weight out of control"


"Actually - CIGNA covered this, but I now have United Health Care and they won't cover it unless you have irritable bowel syndrome or idiopathic constipation.  I have constipation from M.S. and chronic opioid use and used it for over 4 years twice a day.  I'm going to try lactulose but this pill is so much more convenient and for me, works without side-effects. Prior to this, only over-the-counter senna helped, but with cramping side-effects at times and only more than the recommended amount worked."


"I am sixteen, I have had Attention problems since I was little and I was put into special education classes because of it. I didn't go to the doctor for a diagnosis until a couple of months ago. When I went to the doctor she said I had all the symptoms so she gave me the option of medication. I said I would try it so she prescribed me 20 mg of Methylphenidate,  it lasts me about 6 hours. It really helped on my ACT, I tried to take the ACT without using it and I didn't do well at all. I took the ACT with the medication and I did so much better. I also like it because it makes me a nicer person. I am literally kind to everyone. The only bad thing is that when it wears off I am really tired, probably because I am focused for so long."


"The side effects were intolerable. It caused esophageal reflux and melena."


"At first the drug company advertised this mercilessly as the solution to adult ADHD. The only problem is that it doesn't work. I noticed nothing at all in the three months I tried it."


"I hadn't had a bowel movement in six days, because I had surgery and constipation is a side effect of anesthesia and pain meds. First time taking a laxative. Rarely ever constipated, I was desperate and I took three Dulcolax at around 10:30 pm...then I came online to read how it worked for other people and was terrified by all the reviews! I was afraid to sleep, but I drifted off. At around 1:40 am, I woke up to digestive sounds and felt the need to GO. I finally had a bowel movement, everything went smoothly and went back to bed. Everything went fine, but all the negative reviews are enough for me not to chance taking Dulcolax again."


"After several preventative and rescue meds failed, my headache specialist prescribed methergine. This medication has saved my life. I suffer from chronic migraine with aura and chronic cluster headaches. They were daily and it got to the point that I was thinking of ending things because the pain was so intense. I took this medication for 14 months and they've been the greatest 14 months of my life. My migraines started when I was 8 years old, I'm 27 now and didn't seem treatment until I was 20. My new doctor is taking me off the methergine because she worries about the risk of fibrosis. I'm terrified to stop taking it. This is truly the greatest medication and I suggest it to every chronic migraine sufferer I meet."


"I forgot how well this stuff works. I've been using Ativan every so often for six years. I hadn't taken it in ages but had a panic attack tonight and I feel really good now after taking it. I know when my anxiety was a lot worse, it didn't bring me down to 0 anxiety but took the edge off. At one point in the past I was taking it pretty much daily but never became dependent on it (I only take the 0.5mg dose). I do feel kind of sleepy, but pleasantly so. In my experience the sublingual (under the tongue) type works a lot better than the normal swallowed pills."


"I've been dealing with eczema my entire life (27 year). I've always gotten made fun of horribly for it growing up. I've tried so many different products with none of them working, leaving my skin always flared up. Eucrisa has been the only thing to ever work on my skin. I see a difference in 2 days and after only 2 weeks of using it I've noticed a huge difference in the overall feel and look of my skin! The only downside to me, which I can deal with easily, is that it feels for slimy after application for a few hours. I've been using it at night due to this. Hope this helps others!!"


"I have had nexplanon for almost a year and it is effective in one way but I have had so many problems not having a cycle or two months of a cycle. Emotional moods to laughing to crying to smiling to being depressed."


"I got this implant on the 13th of November 2015... I've been bleeding since. Plus, acne ! Everywhere. I've been on accutane when I was younger and now I have acne all over again because of this implant. It is currently March and this marks my 6th month and I'm STILL bleeding. My gynecologist says it takes about 6 months for the bleeding to subside. If my bleeding doesn't stop by the end of the month then I'm getting this out of me."


"Got my IUD on February 21. Not gonna lie, probably the worst pain I have ever experienced. Being young and never have had a child impacted the pain. While it was painful, I would do it over and over again. The cramps and minor bleeding lasted for about 1.5 months. It was annoying and uncomfortable but Tylenol helped along with a heating pad. Sex hasn't been uncomfortable for myself or my partner. I also have not had a period since getting my IUD. One negative effect is the acne. I have had clear skin my entire life. Now, I have minor acne on my face. Overall, it is worth it. Although it took some adjusting, not having to remember a pill or worry about being pregnant is a great relief."


"I have used many different types of inhalers for asthma control.  Symbicort seems to work well, but may cause significant personality modification (nervous, angry at small things, anxiety over small things) and muscle/bone aching that is significant, especially if any work is done , even small things."


"This pill was the first kind of birth control my doctor recommended me with. I was very nervous at first because she said it would help with my size and because I have had chronic episodes of anemia. I also had the fears of every girl: gaining weight, acne, mood swings, and the contraceptive failing. I've been on Chateal for a year now and none of those things have occurred! I'm very happy with this pill and will renew my prescription."


"Do not mix this with nubane."


"Taking this medication lets me have a little bit of the life I had before my body became full of arthritis, it has been a God send."


"I have experienced severe dry mouth after using Pro-denRX aqueous gel for teeth brushing.  I used it for three weeks before I finally realized that my dry mouth started when I began the use of the toothpaste.  I have stopped using Pro-denRX and hope the side effects will eventually disappear.  It has only been two days since I stopped use, so it is too early to tell much.  My mouth is still severely dry."


"I had Nexplanon inserted in December 2014 after giving birth to my first child in October 2014.  The first couple of months were rocky.  Off and on periods.  One day I was fine, the next I would bleed.  Mostly light bleeding but some heavy.  Now, October 2015, I have not have any spotting or bleeding a since April (AT LEAST) and all of the sudden I start bleeding today.  I have had bad weight gain with this method.  And call me crazy (but I know a couple others  that have experienced this as well)....I feel pregnancy symptoms sometimes.  I have actually felt what feels like movement as if I am pregnant and the baby is kicking.  Weird.  Nausea.  Horrible headaches.  I am considering switching to another method.  I have tried pill and Depo."


"Slow to work but eventually gets there."


"I have been having headaches everyday for the past 4 years. Doctors have put me on several different medicines that did not help until I started seeing a new neurologist. I was prescribed nortriptyline. The side effects for me were extreme fatigue but that did go away. I feel better than I have been in the past years."


"25 year old male, T levels in the 200's (average).

Started off taking 200mg (1cc) every 14 days.  Had the roller coaster effect, eventually switch to 10 days, but because of my schedule, doctor told me I could go to 7 days.  Been on it for 2 years, and never had any issues except for reading too many posts and thinking I needed something else such as an estrogen blocker.  Never got man-boobs, lumps, or reversed side effects, so I think I will trust my body and not someone else's opinion."


"I asked my doctor to place me on Contrave because I had hit a wall with my own dieting and exercise. I was also looking for assistance to reduce/eliminate my alcohol intake. (I'm a weekend warrior in my socializing.) I have been on Contrave for a week now. I lost 7lbs in the first 5 days. I workout with a personal trainer 4x per week. I cut caffeine and alcohol from my diet due to the headaches. I don't even crave a drink! I'm starting week 2 with the pills. As of 7.21.17 I weigh 164lbs at 5'9. My goal weight is 140lbs. I gave Contrave 9/10 only because of the headaches,  which are minor. I'm very happy with my results thus far and my trainer is blown away! I'm getting weighed in this Thursday again. I'll check back in after."


"Ocella used to be the only generic available in the Yaz/ Yasmin family... not any more!  I went to refill my prescription and was shocked when the pharmacist told me it was going to cost $100, WITH insurance (it used to be $30 for three months). I've been on it about 7 months now, and I really like it-- I know other people have reported getting side effects but past the initial month of non-stop bleeding and cramps (probably more because I wasn't used to taking birth control and would forget until several hours after I was supposed to, than problems with the drug itself), I haven't had any problems.  It hasn't exactly made my acne disappear, but it's better and my awful PMS depression has basically disappeared!  And no babies, either."


"I was on this pill for 2 years. I originally got on for acne and just for general protection but I had some negative effects. The first few months I had horrible nausea. I had to take it right before bed and I vomited a few times. After a while my body adjusted and it was perfect for me, until I got pregnant. I took it the same time every night and still managed to get pregnant. After birth I got back on and it's made my skin a living nightmare. I switched to ortho cyclen with hopefully more luck."


"I have been taking these dose packs when I have a serious gout attack. Usually in 2 days my painful gout is gone. What else could you ask for. Quality of life is back.
Prior to this, nothing seem to work. Painkillers are usually addicting and really can't cure the pain. I thought my quality of lie was taking a turn for the worst with gout. However, once I discovered the drug I was so happy,
Now if they could only find much better prevention Meds for gout. The Colchicine .6mg ?
Allopurinol 100mg ?
Just don't seem to prevent."


"Started taking this after 3 weeks of coughing so intense that I would gag and gasp and have to run to the restroom to pee.  Horrible.  This was the only thing that lessened the coughing, but my doctor insisted I take it with a decongestant.  I still cough, but it has been fewer and less intense."


"I do very good on this medicine. I started out at higher dose. I am now down to 5mgs. I am 76 years young. I stopped smoking in October 4, 2007."


"Neurontin helped a lot with my severe restless leg syndrome & some with my chronic back pain. However, the 2 times it was tried on me over the years I had the bad side effect of doing things in my sleep I was unaware of! I once microwaved a remote & the house was filled with smoke! Also, would find bathroom towels in a kitchen cupboard, boxed food in the fridge, ect. So, even though it was helpful-had to quit using due to those side effects!"


"I've found pepto Bismol really useful for when I get acid reflux. It really helps to calm and cool my stomach. Anytime I'm feeling nauseous, it's the first thing I go to!

I also take pepto bismol when I've eaten too much, as I do have a binge eating disorder. It helps prevent the reflux before it starts.

I only take it when I'm experiencing symptoms."


"In early elementary school I was diagnosed with ADHD. It's not common for females to have it. I started on ritalin. It helped, but I stopped taking it in high school because I was worried about the stigma. In University I took it off and on. After graduating, I took it only during major changes because it helped me cope, but I never wanted to rely on it. Now I'm trying to get my career going in the field I want to be in and I'm stressed out of my mind. I have anxiety and my family doc is concerned I'm going through depression. I'm back on Concerta and have been for a few days. It is the 18mg dosage, but while I feel a bit more focused, sadly I feel more focused on my emotions. Hopefully when I move up to 27mg I will be less forgetful and anxious."


"Had a pain in left knee develop rather quickly. I am 70 and Dr. said was most likely arthritis. Prescribed Naproxyn and it worked very well for that knee. I have a bad right knee also that has been bad for 30 years and is getting worse. I hoped it would too get some relief but it has not. Curious about that. No noticeable side effects."


"I'm pleased it has been working. I'm sleeping more soundly, and feel much better."


"I have a difficult job where I cut meat 10 hrs a day. My hands hurt and I can't sleep at night. I have found amazing relief at work and at night when I sleep. I don't notice any side effects. I get little relief from NSAIDs and opiates but I can definitely
tell the difference if I take it.
this med where the
opiates only mask the pain"


"Not prescribed enough"


"I I wanted to give an update as I hadn't started taking Requip on my first post. I had taken 2 doses, and had one episode of RLS the second day.  On the 3rd day, I was sitting in the waiting room at the colonoscopy clinic while my husband was in the back.  I kept dozing off, and would wake up, looking for my bottle of water, and it was in my purse,  sitting in my lap.  This happened over 4-5 times.   Anyhow, I took another dose that night, which was a Monday.  The next day, on the drive home, I was dozing, then woke up, raised up my seat, put my window down a little, reached out and pushed the mirror up!  I didn't say anything, put my window back up, and went back to sleep.  That was my last dose and I threw the rest of it away."


"Due to tremendous stress lately, I was no longer able to perform as well as before, hence I took it for the first time yesterday. It worked wonders. I managed to do it three times within a few hours and each time lasted 2/3 times more than usual. Felt like I was half my age again. However  there seemed to be some side effects, such as the facial flushing and slight head throbbing."


"Don't listen to everyone on here. I had Skyla inserted yesterday and there was very mild cramping but it was really not very painful. (I did take ibuprofen 30 min before the appointment). I am completely fine today with minimal spotting and hope to continue like this. It is not a horrific experience by any means, don't be scared! I should mention that my doctor used ultrasound guidance which is worth it in my opinion. It helps them & I wouldn't be surprised if this is a reason for a less painful experience as well."


"It was twenty years ago that I read a newspaper article of scientific nature. The article described me - depressed and having to push myself to get up in the morning. My energy level was low and my motivation almost non-existent. I took the article to my G.P. and she agreed to give me Ritalin. When my doctor left her practice without providing a new G.P., I had a lot of difficulty getting a new doctor who would prescribe the Ritalin. The first doctor I tried would not prescribe it. After slipping backward to my old non-productive life I found a doctor willing give it to me on a limited basis. I had to take a test for ADD. Then he gave me 10mg a day. It didn't help me. Finally I found a doctor who gave me what I needed - 20mg twice a day."


"This is the absolute worst medication I have ever been on. I had severe anxiety, hot flashes, stomach pain, no appetite, sudden loss of positive body image, it caused me to have horrible cystic acne. I have so far cried every day that I have been on this medication (2 months).

Before this drug I had a very positive body image, I had not needed my anxiety medication in 4 months, and had nearly perfect skin. This medications was horrible. I would not recommend this medication to anyone."


"Did notice a difference as calming down better."


"I've been on this pill for 2 months now. It's been great so far. I've had spotting and my breasts hurt sometimes but that's the only negative thing. And I do agree with some people, my periods are so light I wonder if I'm even on it. Overall, I love it and it didn't give me horrible mood swings like other pills."


"Helped clear out a urinary tract infection fast. Still took the medication for a full week. It really did the trick."


"Hi,

Almost two years ago, I started on a dose of 0.5mg of Klonopin twice a day (or as needed) along with 20 mg of Celexa (citalopram).  I would say Klonopin is an effective drug and useful for treating anxiety and panic attacks.   However, my advice would be to make sure that you are working with your doctor if deciding to cut down on/taper off of Klonopin.  I weaned my dose off without talking to my doc a few times.  Mostly OK (days of some side effects notwithstanding), however, once it was pretty bad.  I recall feeling -- edgy -- all day at work, and then later that night feeling horrible.  I didn't want to eat, I cried, and I kept having anxious thoughts.  I would not recommend leaving Klonopin cold turkey unless you really feel ready."


"I did very well taking Tenuate and lost over 50 lbs.  It gave me more energy to exercise, less of an appetite, and generally more hope to get my weight regulated.  I didn't experience any negative side effects. However, when I stopped taking the pills, I slowly put the weight back on.  Almost all of it. It's devastating. I don't think it should be a short-term solution."


"I didn't experience any side effects at 50mg 2x per day. After my knee replacement surgery, I started taking 100 mg 3x per day. Almost right away I noticed vision blurriness, and mental fog. After about a month I started noticing weight gain, and swelling I'm ankles, legs, feet, and my hands are puffy. I have been on it 7 weeks now and have already gained 10 pounds. The swelling in my feet is nearly intolerable."


"Absolutely horrible, unless you like feeling dopey, drugged & hungover for 3 days after a single dose! It did help my allergies but the side effects are much too pronounced & severe to warrant ever taking it again. I'd rather suffer!"


"I have psoriatic arthritis with lots of foot pain. I wanted an alternative to the drugs and anti-inflammatories normally prescribed and my doctor suggested this. After reading reviews I expected this to take away the pain immediately. It didn't, but knowing that everyone is different I kept trying and I'm glad I did. Now on day three my foot pain is much better, allowing me to walk. I have had no skin reaction. The smell of the ammonia carrier can be a bit overwhelming but it dissipates quickly."


"Prozac was the worst for me. Wouldnt recommend it to anyone. I was using it for depression and anxiety and when i first started taking it i felt terrible, stayed on it for another 4 months or so till my psychiatrist (who did absolutely nothing for me, spent a total of 15 minutes with me in 3 appts.) uped my dose to 20mg, i started feeling really tired all the time, got headaches, felt sick, my head was ALWAYS foggy, couldnt remember much, drained me right out. So without my doctors word i stopped taking it and i still feel depressed and anxious but i feel much more alive and much better. Prozac didnt work for me at all."


"Before I started to using Singulair I suffered terribly and had to use my inhaler twice a day. I have not used my inhaler in over four years. Great drug."


"I have been on and off of antidepressants my whole life. I have been on Lexapro for a year and it helped tons. I don't feel depressed anymore but it seems that I don't have a range of emotions.  I always seem somewhat subdued, not able to cry, don't get very excited about anything. I have trouble falling asleep and actually getting good sleep. I guess because of that I am often tired during the day. The sexual side effects are irritating. I gained a little weight but I also quit smoking so that may have had a part in the weight gain.  On a positive note, I am not so overwhelmed with worrying.  I can concentrate much better at school. My irritability has lessened. I feel sane again."


"I have had acne for quite some time so I decided to start ortho. It's only been 3 days in and I have so many extra pimples on my face all over, and huge pimples at that. I'm hoping it will clear as its starting to get into my system but so far I'm dreading starting this pill and am thinking I need to just stop as it is not helping my self esteem or my skin what so ever....I have more scars which take so much time to heal/ lighten. Unhappy"


"It worked."


"I started this pill in May.  I have gained 12 lbs.  I can't stop gaining. Even exercise, diet, etc. doesn't help.  I lost 22 lbs on weight watchers and I have gained back more than 1/2.  I can't lose weight, can't stop gaining and my breasts went up a size and hurt.   I lost weight with diet and exercise on Yaz."


"This drug is nowhere near its counterpart.  I am sleepy during the day; I have a hard time at work, like right now.

It does NOT work."


"At first the drug company advertised this mercilessly as the solution to adult ADHD. The only problem is that it doesn't work. I noticed nothing at all in the three months I tried it."


"After reading several of these posts I decided to leave mine. I have severe GERD. My doctor after prescribing several different medicines gave me samples of Dexilant. Ever since then my life has changed for the better. At first I was taking 30mg twice a day then I went to 60mg once daily. Never had I been prescribed more than 60mg total daily. I have read that others were taking way more and more frequently. I think they might want to get a second opinion on dosages. I was on Dexilant for several yrs with NEVER having any side effects. I recently had corrective surgery and hope to never be on meds again for this condition. I would absolutely recommend Dexilant to anyone in need of this kind of medication."


"My first shot of depo was great, no mood swings or any other side affects other than some very light spotting. Happy with my first shot, I got a 2nd but it didn't turn out as the first shot did. I'm happy because there's no mood swings or really any mental side effects which is why I switched from the pill. However, I was told my period would completely go away or just be light spotting, but for some reason I have now been having a normal/heavy period for over a month now which concerning. I've also been experiencing a lot of headaches, and cramps that can get so bad they'll sometimes wake me up from dead sleep. I'll be going to the doctor soon to get off of this, blood loss is not fun :c don't think this is super common though"


"My doctor prescribed generic miralax every day due to chronic constipation, I now take it sparingly. It works wonders! I was on it for a good straight week last week, stopped for about 4 days, and had gurgling, excessive gas, loose stool too.(I am drinking miralax as we speak now LOL) I definitely need it. I'm planning on taking it every other day or every 2 days. It's helped tremendously"


"I have only been on this pill for a week, however I already want to switch. I had acne problems before this pill and I thought by going on this I could kill to birds with one stone; clear up my acne and prevent pregnancy. But I cannot wait for this pack to be over so I can switch. Within the first day my acne got 10x worse and it's only been a week but it's worse than it's ever been in the last year! I don't even want to look in the mirror. I haven't noticed any other side effects yet but I won't be surprised if there's more negative ones to come."
