"I have suffered from anxiety, panic attacks and depression since I was a teen. At 37, I started taking Prozac. Since then I've gone though just about every medicine on the market. I've been taking Buspar for almost 8 months and it is the BEST one I have ever taken. I currently take 60 mg of Cymbalta (mostly for headaches) and quit all other meds. I have just a little dizziness in the morning, but this has made me feel confident and comfortable in my own skin for the first time. The most marked improvement is in my work. I have a high stress job with a lot of deadlines, and now meeting them is no problem; rather a joy. I don't rant and rave when I get home. Increased productivity and a happy life! A miracle. Would like to stop the Cymbalta."


"I am taking Lysteda for the first time.  It works extremely well. My flow has been reduced by about 75%.  I used to soak through both a super absorbency tampon and overnight pad within two hours.  Now I can just wear a pad and it doesn't get full.  The only side effect that I'm experiencing are headaches.  I don't normally get them, but the results are worth it."


"Not suitable for allergy congestion, for example dust. The drug has a rebound effect, immediate relief at first followed by a worse condition hours later. The more you take the more you will need."


"It burns at first but after the first night I didn't have any problems except like uncomfortable at certain times after urinating."


"It's definitely not for me. I switched from Camila to Vienva because I was worried that I had to take Camila at the exactly same time.
If you have a history of depression, don't try vienva or similar ones.
On the tenth day I was completely out of control of my own thoughts. Very irritated and depressive. I stopped immediately and got better. I don't think it's a coincidence
If you do not have a history of depression it may work for you, though."


"I had a cervical fusion at level C5/C6 in 2002. I am in 100X more pain AFTER the surgery than before. Suffer severe chronic pain! After injections and many pain meds, ALL of which I suffered severe side effects, was finally given OxyContin X 2 daily and Oxycodone for breakthrough pain. I still suffer pain daily. However, these are the only meds my system can tolerate -or else I'd be bedridden. "


"I use it with my anti-depressant and it works great.  I noticed a difference from the first day I took it.  Lowers my suspiciousness and keeps me level throughout the day."


"Developed Aurora symptoms of migraine as part of diagnosis of fibromyalgia & chronic fatigue diagnosis as result of a car accident. Debilitating vertigo, light and noise sensitivity. Extreme cognitive disfunction and fatigue which were constant but the migraine came and went but would last for weeks.
Eventually it just stayed and I felt like I was walking about drunk!!

I was told there was nothing that could be done for me and this was part of my condition. I found topamax myself when I had reached the point where I had decided to end it all if this was it. Sad but true. Fortunately and happily I am a new women. My brain has been unscrambled! I can function again!No more hiding from the light or trying to remember why I started a sentence"


"I've had skyla about 2 months now and I love it! My only issue is that my first 2 days of my period I get aweful cramps but the doctor said those will subside in a few months. Also, when I have to poop really bad I'll start to cramp too, but once I go then they go away haha"


"While it works fine it is so expensive, over $140.00 before insurance.  Insurance only took $30.00 off this cost."


"I find it amazing for social anxiety and sleep.  You need to withdraw slowly though as going cold turkey has extreme withdrawal symptoms, but these last only a week. I'm on 600mg per day which greatly helps with sleep and gives me pleasant dreams instead of nightmares.  The only negative side effect is the increased appetite.  You need to manage this carefully with low calorie snacks."


"terrible body pain, fatigue, constant urinating  and  shortness of breath. This is a terrible medicine. It  should be taken off of the market. My insurance only covered the generic."


"I have been taking this after my back surgery when I was 29 years old, and it has helped with the pain. I am also on flexeril and tramadol in between these. I am able to move a lot easier. It does make me sleepy as where it might not for some. There are some side effects but I only had nausea."


"Y'ALL. This is only my 5th day on Epiduo Forte, so I don't have much insight on the medicine's effectiveness... BUT I have the cure for the burning sensation the product leaves!
I got off work tonight & immediately washed my face. I use a Clearasil scrub daily, and that irritated my skin horribly! I then applied the Epiduo & my skin began to burn! I do not have sensitive skin whatsoever so I was unsure what to do. My initial thought was to apply moisturizer, which made it worse! I figured I'd let the pain pass... it didn't!
After an hour it finally hit me- VITAMIN E! I use this under my eyes to prevent wrinkles and thought it might help. I specifically used Sundown Vitamin E Oil, and just applied a thin layer to my face. It worked wonders!"


"I have been on Contrave since 6/9/15 and have lost 30lbs.  I exercise every day, at least 45 minutes of walking.  I had minimal side effects that started with nausea after increasing to 2 pills in the morning and evening, but that diminished within a few days, other than that I have had mild constipation.  LOVE this medicine.  It's helped me to steer clear of snacking, especially chocolate.  I have at least 35 more lbs to lose to be where I want to be.  I will continue with Contrave because to me, it is AMAZING!  Good Luck to you all !!!!"


"I've had migraines since I was 11 and was first prescribed Maxalt when I was 17. It's wonderful. I take it as soon as I start to notice the signs of a migraine and about 70% of the time the first dose does the job, within an hour or less. Occasionally I take a second dose if the symptoms haven't gone after 2-3 hours. Very occasionally it doesn't work at all. It has improved my life enormously. I evangelize about it. My migraines used to last up to 3 days - now I get a unkillable one only once or twice a year. Side effects for me are (as someone else has mentioned) one sneeze within a few minutes of taking it, a little drowsiness and eventually a little euphoria (though maybe that's a rational response to knowing the migraine has gone)."


"I'm bipolar with mania. Also, I've been a addict for 25 years (self medicating my mania). I hated all the mood stabilizers I've ever tried, but would always eventually go back to using. Anyone that has lived in a constant manic state of mind knows how hard it is. After many many years of trying to get clean I reluctantly gave Lamictal a try. It has literally saved my life. It has totally balanced my crazy brain. My thoughts are not a 1000 miles an hour, I can actually sleep and eat normal and most importantly I no longer self medicate by using drugs and alcohol. My wife can write a book of what this medication has done for me and our family."


"Switched from atenolol to Coreg CR to avoid the wall I would hit when doing cardio-exercise. I felt less of the wall from the cardiac side, but seemed to not breath as easily while doing cardio and while at rest. Felt like I had to force myself to take deep breaths on Coreg CR. Never had that happen with atenolol. Also, lost some libido on Coreg CR which wasn't an issue with atenolol. Switched back to atenolol and these issues all went away. "

"Holy cow this Surprep stuff was disgusting. My doctor said that she was changing to this medicine for Colonoscopy because people like it better.  told her that I found no problem with the Miralax but ok, I'll trust her....LIES...LIES AND MORE LIES! Acording to all I've read they do NOT like it better..hmmm can u say drug company pay off!!!!  Ok maybe it works better for clean out,I get that, but I'll ask her.

I nearly vomited throughout the drink...so disgusting (like downing a bottle of Nyquil) then add on a quart of water and your stomach feels like it will POP!  So excited to do this again at the crack of dawn...2nd dose was equally, if not more, rancid.

When I asked my doctor, she said,"Oh you didn't like it? Both work well!" Ugh...."


"I have insomnia my Dr.prescribe Lunesta to help me sleep because I was going 3 day's straight without sleeping...not very good feeling The first day I took Lunesta I literally passed out,a good night sleep unfortunately that was my only night of sleep now it keeps me fully awake the odd part is that I don't feel tired only my eyes look tired the problem is that I am back to not sleeping up to three day's."


"I start with venlafaxine when I was diagnose with Fibromyalgia a month ago and I had the worst experience . My skin become very dry, my mouth and my lips where like burn and my lips start to peel, I start to have rash on my arms and legs. It was difficult to swallow. I was miserable."


"I have seen no benefits from this medication after months of use.  My migraines have increased to almost daily now and have also increased in their intensity.  "


"Dr. Prescribed cipro  so I took it twice a day for 3 days for a UTI- turns out I didn't have. On day 3, my children called an ambulance because I passed out and had trouble walking for several months afterwards. Ive been to several specialists trying to find a solution to my cipro induced weakness in my legs. I can't even think straight! This drug ruined me. I wish I never went to the dr that day. This has taken a heavy toll on my family and career.

 :("


"Feel relaxed, helps me stay asleep."


"Contrave is the best medicine for weightloss! it is not a magic pill by far by if you put in the work ( exercising and portion control) you will see the maximum results. I started in April 2016 295 pounds. As of August 2016 I am down 35 pounds & going. This is the first medication I have had that works for me and I absolutely love the scale down program. you really have to weigh everyday in order to WIN! i recommend this medication to anyone struggling with weight and need some assistance to get rolling. The first week was just a few headaches adjusting to the medicine but the only side effect i continue to have is constipation which  my doctor provided for me take senna to release. TRY TRY TRY and pass it on to anyone that it may help."


"Suffer from anxiety and panic attacks since I was a young woman.  I've been on many different meds.  Have landed in the ER six times in my life thinking I was having a heart attack as these mirror each other in symptoms.  Have taken Paxil for 15 years.  When I landed in the ER again six weeks ago my Paxil was raised to 60 mgs.  I saw  doc in a follow up and we decided to try Wellbutrin...the generic.  I have been slowly going off Paxil, as you must do, and starting the Wellbutrin.  It is now fours weeks and I am up to 200 mgs of Wellbutrin and down to 20 mgs of Paxil.  ONE MORE WEEK and I am done.  Wellbutrin does have some side effects, I.e., dizziness, Wausau, dry mouth..otherwise I have been doing pretty well.  Time will tell."


"Last year I started taking Sprintec. At first I loved it. There were no side effects for probably the first 6 months. After that if I took it more than an hour late I would feel so depressed. Around month 4 I stopped getting my period when I skipped my inactive week which was nice. However, after about 5 months without my period I started cramping really bad and felt super bloated which made me think I was pregnant. I wasn't thankfully. I decided to start taking my inactive pills when I needed so I'd have my period. Overall, Sprintec is great when I give my body that week long break from it. Otherwise, I cramp, bloat & have migraines. Considering switching to one where I can skip my period but its pretty cheap so I'll probably stick with it"


"Works good for muscle spasms and helps you to relax enough to sleep when in bad pain."


"At first it was feeling normal like it was working but then when I got up and it started to drip down ! Omg it burned soooo bad ! I was trying to take the pain but I couldn't I got in the shower and tried to take it off . I'm now laying down trying not to move because I'm afraid more is gonna drip down and start burning and itching again !!! I had to take melatonin sleeping gummies so I can sleep now .worst feeling ever ):"


"I was prescribed Baclofen 5 years ago for BFS and chronic fatigue. Helped a great deal with the fatigue, but didn't stop the fasciculations in my legs and feet. I'm still taking 5mg, three or four times a day."


"Works wonders on a very sore back/hamstrings, no problems at all and I can deal with the side effect of drowsiness and dry mouth."


"My bf came in me right before my period was due so just to be safe I took this had cramping. 2 days after I took the pill he came in me again which was stupid. My period was 4 days late but it came! This wasn't my first time taking it it works."


"Irregular inconsistency on pain control . Many break thru pain through  out day . Helps with low pain and mild pain but not for break thru severe pain ."


"I HATED this birth control. It worked as in it prevented pregnancy and it regulated my periods, but the side effects were so horrible that I had to stop taking it.

While I was on this birth control, I gained an extra 15-20 pounds that I COULD NOT LOSE despite the hours in the gym and the healthy eating. I felt like I was going insane... Hot flashes, extreme mood swings. The mood swings happened all of the time, not just during my period. It didn't help alleviate cramps or anything. I will never ever ever take this again."


"Started at 205, 5'4" age 30 female. Experienced the traditional side effects of initial dry mouth, jitters, and sweating but also lost the interest of eating. All thoughts of eating (especially when bored) went away, found that most often when others were eating or even the smell of food no longer turned my hunger on and in some cases made me queasy. Next, my mental focus and energy sky rocketed and I was able to complete projects with more quality and determination than ever before. The pounds melted away with virtually little exercise. Lost 25 lbs in the first three months, cannot wait to lose the next 25 and am now including a workout regimen I'm doing at home with the Wii."


"Been on saxenda for a week. And lost 8 pounds. Was little constipated, a little sleepy, and not my normal appetite. So far I am pleased. Can't wait to see what happens in future."


"I've been using this since I was a child for relief of coughs and colds. It really is the best cough medicine ever!"


"I was prescribed Effexor XR for anxiety while I was home from college over winter break. I took it one day and I felt good but then I couldn't sleep for the following entire next day and then it made me feel completely sick so I didn't take another one the next day because I wanted to be able to fall asleep. 5 days later I tried to take it again to see if I would be able to fall asleep and that time I wasn't able to fall asleep the next two days and I felt extremely sick and like my brain hurt so bad the next day after taking it. Its been over a week now since the second time I took and I feel like I hate my life. I've never been so depressed and anxious. how long will this last? major regret"


"I have since I was very young displayed what I know now as Type I Bipolor disorder. Probably one of the worst feeling in the world is to have emotions ebb in and out like tall crashing waves. Then the sun comes out and the water is calm. Then a couple days later here comes the storm. It is the worst feeling to think there is nothing that will help. I felt that way.....time after time different meds. Abilify to be one exact example led me to have Hypothyroidism. A condition I have to have meds for the rest of my life. I have after trying many different meds for depression to find only one medicine I would suggest and that is Lamictal. If you are compatible with this medication it will help the mood swings a great deal."


"I was prescribed this medicine on the first day when my sore throat developed. It didn't help me at all, In fact after 2 days of taking it, I felt weaker, body aching and my throat remained painful and I became giddy. When I googled the details, I realised it suppressed my immune system and it contains steroid and not suitable for people with thyroid disorder like myself (hypo thyroid). I won't take this medicine again."


"I have a very bad exprience with Terbinafine since last week. this drug doesn't work with me.  I took this medicine for 4 days on last week prescribed by my doctor, but after two days I took this drug, lots of micro blisters started appearing on both my hand plams and around the mouth and lips and body felt so hot. I thought it was heat rashes so I continued to take this drug two more days. My hands got even more worse, more blisters appeared on the top of the hands too. I realized it was allergic reaction by the drug so I stopped taking it and notified the phamacist and my doctor. I took Benedroyl for 4 days and then the blisters have been slowly shrinking but passing 10days, the skin starts peeled and feel rough and look terrible. :-("


"Makes you sleep fast, and well."


"Put my heart into A-fibrillation. It was discontinued and no sign of A-fibrillation in heart when checked. "


"People must realize that everyone's bodies are different and will react to hormones differently. I am currently 19 and started Loestrin 24 last year. I had no problems with it and loved it except that I gained around 15 pounds (although this could have been caused by the infamous freshmen 15). I went on Aviane to see if my weight would go back to normal and now am deciding to switch back to Loestrin 24 after it didn't. I loved having light periods for maybe 3 days tops on Loestrin and now am having my period for up to a week on Aviane. I liked Loestrin and didn't have any problems with it. Everyone's bodies will have different reactions to birth control. Remember to give yourself a few months to get adjusted to the hormones."


"I've gone from 25, 50,75,100 and been on 200mg a day for 4 weeks now. I've been on lithium, Seroquel, Seroquel XR and could not handle the side effects of all. Lamictal has been magic. I can feel the change completely, I just feel like everything is a little 'slower' and that I'm not racing all the time. Bipolar 2. Best medication I have been on by far and can honestly say that this is one I plan to stick to. The side effects were small but there, dizziness when standing, headache and a little nausea for the first 6 weeks on and off but nothing compared to the emotions of bipolar."


"I've been on it for a 3 months and I use to be very wet during sexual Intercourse with my husband and now I am not able to get wet at all. We have to use lube and sexual Intercourse is very painful during the first 2 minutes it feels like I'm a Virgin all over again.. my husband likes it but it's a hassle for me. I do like the fact that I can take it out when I need to. Other side effects I have are tiredness , loss of appitie, and uterine cramps.. otherwise  I love it. We haven't had any issues as far as it not working."


"This drug has changed my life. I have severe panic disorder and derealization. I was having debilitating panic attacks daily. I felt like I was living in hell. My new doctor decided to switch me to this after Ativan seemed to not be helping. It has helped me live a normal life for the first time in years. After the first dose I was already feeling more calm, my racing thoughts have pretty much vanished. I still feel anxiety, but I am able to shut it down very quickly before it has the chance the turn into a full blown panic attack. I am so glad to have found this drug and have it work so well for me. The only downside is that it makes you drowsy, but I feel like you get used to it over time."


"I don't like it at all. Have taken 2 times and causes me to yawn alot and jaw tightness. Makes me feel really weird."


"I started taking Elavil at the onset of my Fibromyalgia in 1997, had great sleep and was able to continue my work and study without pain.  In early 2010 I read the side effects of the medicine and recognized what was happening to me.  I had been falling for no reason, broke an ankle, lumbar vertebrate, thumb and many bruises.  I had dry mouth so bad could hardly talk, could not remember my words I wanted to say, and lost all sex drive.  I slowly removed myself off of the Elavil with the help of my doctor.  I have had lots of pain since February 2010 and cannot find a medicine to help me with my sleep and pain, but I will not use Elavil again.  I have not fallen, lost my memory or had any other side effects of this medicine since."


"I'm in the final year of my 5. Having spent the vast majority of the last 3 years with no bleeding I'm now having a period or something. Has been 4 days now, should I be concerned? Advice please"


"I've been using Alli for two weeks.  I lost 2 pounds the first week and 2.2 pounds the second week.  I'm also doing weight watchers.  But I've been doing weight watchers for several weeks without much progress.  Not weight watchers fault...all my fault.  As soon as I added the Alli, the pounds started coming off...I did not change my diet from the previous weeks. I do make an effort to make good choices...just not always successful.  Not to beat a dead horse as I think the side effects have been well documented...but be prepared for them if you eat higher amounts of fat. Besides the uncontrollable expulsion of orange globs of fat....the smell is vile.  If you can smell it...so can everyone else."

"took depo to stop dysphoria from menstruation (im ftm) and it works great ! stopped my periods after two shots and they havent come back yet and its been over a year of taking it! i highly recommend depo shots"


"I am a 35 female, no kids. I wanted to pursue birth control as my periods were debilitating and I bleed very heavy. I have a very sensitive body. I wanted to feel normal in the sense, that I have been getting my period since age 10. And after all these years did not want to deal with stressing about how my body would react from my period. My body actually has gotten more sensitive this year. I thought I was seeing doc but ended up seeing midwife. Was prescribed jolivette. Took at night and was nauseated, lightheaded, and blurry mind. Next day cramps and felt like i was having a period/ bleeding feeling without bleeding. In the evening felt off/ unsteady like going to faint. Don't think is norm. Will not take again. How long to leave my system?"


"I wish I had read the reviews before taking this product!  Forty five minutes after taking Delsym I had lots of belly gurgling then painful cramps and then immediate violent diarrhea! I got so dizzy & lightheaded while sitting on the toilet I almost passed out. I will never take this product again & will advise all friends & family to avoid it as well.  As far as suppressing my cough, I was too afraid to cough for some time after the diarrhea started!!"


"I am 68 years old and was told about 25 years ago that I had had Hep C. I had no side effects from the virus. I am active swimming and during Yoga. Went to John Hopkins because my Primary Doctor was concerned since my VL was 16,000,000. I was stage 3 Fibrosis of the liver.. I took Harvoni for four  weeks and the HCV is not detected. I will continue the med for 8 more weeks. This stuff works."


"Great li'l piece of technology! I'm 63. Viagra was very hit'n miss with me. I tried Cialis and am so pleased. I'm getting erections, random and intentional, just like I did 30 years ago. I'm harder and can come more often than with Viagra. I have found that I can take just 2 x 20mg tabs a week (one on Friday, one on Tuesday) and I am good for the entire week. "


"I have been on this pill for about 2 1/2 months and compared to my previous prescription (which I had no period, just spotting at the end of the month) this is horrible. The only time i don't bleed is during the first week of pills. Then it's light bleeding the second week and gets heavier with each week's pill. I can see how it's good for birth control. Who's going to have sex when they're bleeding all the time?"


"Honestly when will people learn that all drugs have side effects but not everyone will suffer with adverse reactions. Yes this is a very strong antibiotic and because it is so strong it can cause some nasty side effects. I’ve used it for sinus infections as well as prostatitis. Slight upset stomach and nausea but compared to having a sinus infection and prostatitis I'd rather take the pill. Don’t let these scare stories put you off taking this med if your doctor has prescribed it. It works wonders."


"I have been taking this drug for about a week off and on for the last 10 years I have been having panic attacks here and there just recently I believe I found out that birth control that I have been using the Depo has increased my anxiety to the point of exhaustion terrible sleeping would wake up every hour or would lay in bed with my mind racing and my body sweating and having chills at the same time I asked my doctor for something and they prescribed me this medication so far has done great have been getting a little tired here and there but my anxiety is almost gone still have a little chest pain here and there but other than that it has been great a lot of medications are different for a lot of different people just see what works for u"


"The shot was my first experience and method of birth control. I was scared the most of the weight gain more then anything else, After reading reviews on different birth controls and peoples experiences with it I couldn't bare the fact of gaining so much weight. After having the shot gaining weight wasn't an issue with me ( i actually lost weight) it was my hormones and emotions were crazy!! For 3 months my mood swings were unbarreable! It ruined relationships with me and my boyfriend! It made me very depressed and sad causing me to major outbreaks. Now that I am off it i feel so much more calm and like myself! Worst 3 months of my life. The only good thing was my nauesa wasnt too bad, and i only got my period twice"


"I have only been taking this for a few months, but notice a big difference, I suffered really bad pain during intercourse and this has improved the situation, I also think it has levelled out my menopausal moods.  I will be staying on it.  I am fortunate to live in Scotland where I do not pay for this medication directly, prescriptions are free."


"It works well for depression.  Even stopped nerve pain that I didn't know I had since I had lived with it all my life.  I just thought it was normal to have pins and needle feeling in my nerve endings.  Lifted the depression.  Was okay on anxiety, but still had to take Valium for true panic attacks.  Warning though - getting off this medication can give hard withdrawals. You have to slowly wean yourself off. If not, you will get brain freezes or shivers which are freaky and scary.  Also, extremely irritable coming off of it."


"I was diagnosed with grandmal epilepsy in 2004, had been on life support twice, longest for 17days, not good, they said it was temporal lobe sclerosis/ skull fractures etc, from playing rugby.

I've had many medication changes from clonazapam to keppra & every thing in between"

I am currently on 1000g morning/night of Keppra and have started taking 50g lamictal morning/night,  as was still have severe absences which keppra couldn't stop"

The Absence events have all but stopped after 3mths, although I have not had a good time with constant saliva,  spitting. Which I believe is from the "flavour/effervescent" make up of the tablet. Does anyone else have this problem??"


"I have been stricken with IBS-C for about 9 months. Have been through multiple GI's like most people with this syndrome, went through every test - to no avail. Bloating started as soon as I woke up and lasted all day with severe constipation every day. Have been on the SCD/FODMAP diet for the past 6 months, without much relief. My new GI prescribed this drug. I am taking a much higher dose than the other posters - 50mg once per night. This has given me SIGNIFICANT improvement - I would say at least 75% better. I am able to expand my diet now, and bloating is virtually non existent, even with those new foods. This has been a life changer. I do have the trouble urinating side effect, but only in the morning waking up. Rest of the day is fine."


"It makes me tired"


"After over a year of taking, my skin stays clear and weight had dropped a little (nothing major though, and I'm 20). However, my husband noticed decreased sex drive and dryness, and I have to add pre-menstrual migraines, resistant to over the counter painkillers, which has never happened before. It's probably because of the amount of estrogen in it."


"I switched from Ortho Tri-Cyclen to this and didn't notice a difference. I used to pay $40 a month for my medicine which is hard for a broke college student but now I only pay $8! So worth the switch! The only change in my body I've noticed was my breast getting larger by a whole cup size."


"I have used Singulair while on vacation in the Midwest and it rocks, I was miserable. I take allergy shots back home and Xyzal at night but the Xyzal and Claritin were not cutting it. Side effects for me are a dry nose and slight cough."


"When I first started the medication it did not affect me the first two days and then I started having anxiety, nervousness, depressed,  tiredness my stomach felt weird  and I just didn't feel like myself.     I had upper  respiratory infection which is better. I have one more pill to take tonight but I am skipping it because I have had such a bad day..   I was on the 875 mg for seven days twice a day...  I will ask the doctor for something else next time..  From what I'm reading I think it is the Clav ingredient  and I also spoke to the pharmacist and he said that that gives it an extra kick to kill the infection.   So this is a super strong antibiotic  and has side effects that I've never experienced before with an antibiotic..."


"I feel that lamotrigine offers no difficult side effects that further impact on my mood - compared to depakote, which I took previously. Depakote caused weight gain which increased my anxiety"


"I finally got Nexplanon removed yesterday and was so happy. I thought this was going to regulate my periods but I only had 1 out of the 6 months. I had discomfort in the arm that it was in whenever I lifted something heavy and when I checked my blood pressure. I found out from my primary Dr that I was 20% more likely to not have a period, have higher cholesterol and gain weight while on Nexplanon. My blood pressure is higher now and now I'm going to start on the pill again. I'm just so happy it's out!"


"The first time they gave me Flagyl in 4 pills to take all at the same time. It worked great and I cleared up. The second I was given the same 4 pill dosage and the symptoms cleared up for about a week until I got my period, then the discharge, smell and itching came back with a vengeance.  So back to the doctor I went and this time they gave me Tindamax."


"It did stop my acne but now that I decided to stop it,  my hair is falling out so badly I am not sure It will be any hair left... I am regretting the minute I started this pill. Don't make the same mistake. It WILL make you bald!"


"Very little side effects.  Slight nausea for one day during 5 days of medication. Within a month the white cell count was near normal.  Two years later, cell counts are well within normal range."


"Excellent results"


"Took this with food. Made me feel very lethargic and jittery at the same time. My appetite is gone. My congestion is cleared but I can't wait for this medication to wear off. My heart rate speeds up as well. Dry mouth, yuck."


"I was put on Natazia by my Ob about a month ago to stop the growth of my ovarian cyst, heavy periods, & cramping. I did notice I was a bit moody, but it shrank one cyst to half it size. I lost 10lbs in the first month. It lightened my cycle the first four days, but it's day 10 with no end in sight. I decided to stay on it for my cyst though."


"Be careful. I was prescribed Circadin by my psychiatrist to help with insomnia caused by my antidepressant. Over a period of around 3 months I became anxious, agitated, and extremely depressed. I felt like I was losing my mind. I then realised that my deterioration coincided with starting the melatonin so I stopped it. Within 24 hours by depression was under control and I was back to my normal self. It says on the drug information that it can worsen depression and cause mood changes yet my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to prescribe it for someone with severe depression. It also caused awful trapped wind and tummy pain. It's a shame because as a sleeping tablet it did actually work. Back to zopiclone for me!"


"My doctor gave me a sample of this medication after a couple years of stomach problems. I've tried Zantac and tums, nothing seemed to work. I took one of these capsules, and didn't touch another one. It's now been a week and I can drink apple Juice with no problems at all ! :)"


"Best thing I've ever done ! I started getting acne when I was 7 took Accutane when I was 11 & my entire face cleared up within 9 months longer then expected but I don't get any acne beside when I'm menstruating & their very minor. Only side effects were very dry skin & lips & mood swings I recommend it"


"My readings have been basically the same as they were without this medicine. I also have been having a lot more cravings than I have had in the past. I don't know if it's just a coincidence or a side effect of the medication. Either way, I can't continue to pay for an expensive med that doesn't show me any positive results."


"I have been very pleased with the NuvaRing. I have been on it for 3 months now. I have had no real bad side effects. When I first started it I did have some discharge that was more than normal but that stopped pretty much after the first week or 2. I noticed that I do retain water but that is to be expected. I have had no real mood swings as opposed to the pill. I was a little nervous to get on NuvaRing because it stays in the vagina for 3 weeks and I had read about vaginal infections but so far I am happy with it! I am not currently sexually active (I am getting married in August and wanted to try birth control methods) So I don't know if my husband will feel it but I love it!"


"Absolutely changed my life and made sobriety possible. Should be prescribed more often. I've read that in other countries it's more widely available and used. I thank the heavens for it and I thank my doctor for explaining to me about it and providing me with it. Call it training wheels for good decision making..."


"Monistat 7. Right after I inserted the medication inside vaginal area. I kid you not. That stuff started biting but mostly itchy as anything. I thought okay well that's it's job,"it's suppose to do that" well NO right after I was reading all these other reviews I said I am not taking this. Jumped in the bath washed that stuff out & I feel so much better. Never doing that again. I'll just stick to home remedies & baths. Smh"


"This medicine was prescribed to me before I got my wisdom teeth out due to them being impacted and causing a great deal of pain. I noticed immediately that it would provide relief for a long time(6 or more hours) compared to 800mg ibuprofen that would provide small relief for 2-3 hours. It also calmed me. I'm usually a pretty anxious guy and was nervous about my surgery but this helped get me through until I could have permanent relief. Only downside as I noticed I built a tolerance to my dose after a week."


"I originally had implanon years ago when it came out. I LOVED IT! it was great. never gained a pound, never went through any side effects and never got pregnant. When the 3 years was up, I had it removed and went on the pill because they didn't offer implanon anymore for whatever reason. In December, I had nexplanon placed. Thinking because I did so well with implanon (after my Dr told me they were exactly alike). Wrong. Between horrible weight gain, fatigue and mood swings, I'm so done. made an appt to have it taken out. CANNOT WAIT!"


"Every review I see on this birth control is horrible. I've had it in for almost 5 maybe 6 months and its been GREAT. I used to have a very heavy period.. Now I've only had 2 periods and they was so light all I had to wear was a panty liner. I don't understand why people say all these bad things? And about the weight gain that was my BIGGEST concern. I weighed 117- 120 before the implant. I'm 17 years old btw. Now I weigh about 109 - 110. So I lost a good couple pounds. And about the mood changes. None from not really having a period anymore my mood has been fantastic. And my sex drive has gone way up because of the difference. I just took my big sis to go get the implant a week or so ago. Getting it put in dose not hurt at all. ITS GREAT!"


"I have had bad reactions to metformin in the past but my doctor insisted on my trying Actosplus Met. After a few months I had the same bad reactions. Right now I'm struggling to keep my sugars under control."


"I was diagnosed with MS in August 2016. I am a dance instructor, and noticed that I was limping, especially after class.  I had foot drop, numbness, Charlie horses and cramping at night. I have 2 small children who keep me active as well.  MS totally changed my quality of life. I am taking Copaxone 3 times a week, but it doesn't help with the symptoms. I read about Ampyra, and because my main gripe about MS is the way I walk, I decided to ask my Neurologist if I could try it. I've been on it for a week and already notice a difference.  I'm hoping with time that it'll do more for me. I chased my son around the park this weekend and noticed a huge difference when I taught class yesterday. Very glad I tried it!"


"works"


"I was on loestrin for about 3 years before switching to its generic equivalent, mylan. After about 5 years of being on this brand I started getting really bad symptoms (nausea, cold sweats, dropped body temp, migraine) so I decided to quit birth control all together (was on it about 10 years). Within 2 months I gained 10 pounds, particularly in the midsection. At first I didn't connect the dots and started a straight vegetarian meal prep diet and worked out 4-6 times a week. My weight steadily kept going up until I gained about 30 lbs in 6 months, again mostly in my belly. I read up that this is a common side effect of quitting birth control, particurly with the loestrin/mylan 24 fe brand. It's been over a year and still no end in sight"


"I'm on my 3rd day of taking this anti biotic to treat my BV and the symptoms of BV have decreased but the side effects are horrible! I can't look at food! The thought of food makes me want to puke! I am nauseous all the time! And I keep getting this metallic weird taste in my mouth which won't go and keeps me up at night. Really feel the need to be sick 24/7. Just can't wait for my 7 day course to be over! But overall it's a good medication!"


"Battled High Triglycerides for nearly a decade (400-600 levels).  Altered diet (slightly) and was on 1000 mg of Niaspan for at least six years.  Not much impact.

Last year, I started on Lopid.  Fairly religious about taking 30 minutes before every meal.  First test after being on Lopid for 2 months, my triglycerides dropped to 88!  I was stunned.

I've remained on the medicine, but didn't worry about my diet, other than maintaining my weight level.  Second results came back at 93!  I realize Lopid doesn't work for everyone.  But for me, it's a HUGE difference over Niaspan - and without the potential long term side effects."


"Afrezza is magical. It works so well there are no hights.I can use it at public places without use of needles. It delivers insulin directly to blood and is rapid acting. Insulin molecules are used here to mimic the pancreatic insulin. My overall health improved a lot and I feel much better.

The bad reviews with single one liners can you please explain why it did not work for you unless you are trying to propagate negative energy - please describe your problem."


"Taking it at 100 mg.  Didn't like the dizzy feeling.  Started taking it at night, much better but I feel it building up in my system over time.  I wish I could take half or 3/4 as much but it is not available in those doses.  I have absorption issues and the liquid form is great except I can't cut it in half.  I do like what it does for my thinking, digestion, emotions etc  but over time irritability, heavy-dreaming, pregnant-like feeling build-up.  I am a small woman about 110lbs, 5 feet and wish smaller doses were available.  A little bit goes a long way."


"I took it for a couple of days, felt sick. My throat hurt and I have asthma, so I had to use my inhaler."


"First time ever taking Mucinex D! Took two pills as directed and it did clear some sinus pressure during the day.  Following directions 12 hours later and took my two pills dose at 10pm. I've been clear in my sinus, but tossing and turning all night! It is now 2:05am! insomnia was a side effect so did not read about until now, since I can't sleep! So, yes, Mucinex D does work, just do not take at night as directed. Unless you need to be awake while others sleep, in which case, this will definitely keep you up all alert!"


"I'm 46, healthy bull of a man but use high blood pressure medication for the past year.  The medication has made my erections not quite as firm as I like and can remember.  Viagra - wow.  Made me as hard as I was when I was in my 20s. I forgot what that was like.  My wife and I enjoyed the heck out of my magic blue pill."


"I've been on Aubra for 3 months now and have had several negative side effects. I'm experiencing acne, bleeding and cramping between periods, severe anxiety, headaches, moodiness, and weight gain. However, it has prevented pregnancy thus far."


"I started this method about 8 months ago. I hate it. No change in acne, but weight gain, headaches, horrible heavy crampy periods, intense mood swings. I'm switching soon.

On the good side: I'm not pregnant so yay there and I know exactly when Hell Week (last 7 days always) starts and ends."


"This is my first birth control pill, I'm 24 and have been on Lo Loestrin Fe for about a little over a year now. The only TERRIBLE side effect I've gotten from this pill is a horrible sweet tooth. When I first started taking it I just wanted to eat chocolate and I gained about 10lbs. Other then that, Sometimes I don't get a period, sometimes I do and its anything from a dot to light bleeding for 4 days. Varies month to month. I don't have any spotting between periods, my sex drive is in overload so it doesn't dry you out or anything.

I really love this pill just cost a lot with my insurance but to me its worth it."


"I had my paraguard in for the full 10 years with little to no issues.. menstrual cramps were slightly more intense but periods were pretty short.  Insertion was easy..just a quick pinch/cramp and done.  Removal even easier and painless.. I had mine taken out during my period a couple of days ago. Period seems slightly heavier but no other side affects."


"Since this is a common side effect I am going to ask my provider about it. I am experiencing a lot of breast tenderness. It started pretty much after being on this one or two days. I am a week in and it's rather painful. They feel somewhat swollen."


"I was diagnosed with Tourettes when I was about 12yrs old, I'm now 32. I've mainly been on clonidine and tenex for it over the years. The dry mouth is terrible, I will say that but Biotene(sp?) makes a dry mouth spray that is a life saver! That being said, I think the patches are amazing. My last switch from tenex to clonidine was so I could give the patches a try. You change it once a week, feels like you have constant coverage and I don't have sweaty palms like I did every time I was due for an oral dose. My dry mouth is not as bad on the patch - anyone that has suffered from this side effect knows how awful it can be and SO embarrassing! I was only tired when I went from .1-.2mg and it was only a couple of days. Try the patches!!!"


"I've been taking Paxil for 3 years. It has been the only medicine that has given long term relief from anxiety and stress, and occasional depression. I've had no drastic side effects to speak of. I take 60mg/day."


"For four months, I have suffered from constant cramps, 24/7. My doctor finally took an ultrasound and found two very large cysts. One was filled with blood. He explained to me this is why I am in so much pain. I also have been experiencing other symptoms. Thinning hair, low back pain/throbbing, nausea, ill feeling, facial hair, etc., etc. I went back in and he finally put me on birth control pills. I am 37 and taking birth control pills for the first time. I am almost two weeks into taking them and to my relief I have not suffered any bad side effects, but it's still early. I can only hope that this is a good sign. And I can only hope that my pain will subside and my cysts will dissolve. I have my fingers crossed. Wish me luck!"


"I use several narcotics for the daily chronic pain I suffer from. Also I have glaucoma and uvetis which is an eye disease I also suffer from. When I run out of my Vicodin I use Tylenol 3 until I get my script filled. I think it works great, Love my Tylenol 3. With a daughter with special needs I need my pain controlled."


"Gave me severe-headache,insomnia, dizzy, confused, this medication is very dangerous I have learned that the hard way stay away!!!!"


"Klonopin works. I can go from anger to a puppy within fifteen minutes or less. Sometimes when I anticipate a major issue I take one to prepare myself and I'm fit to go nice and smooth. No anxiety, no anger, just calm, cool and collected. It's an excellent anxiety medication."


"I've been taking Apri for a little over a year now. My breasts have grown almost 2 full cup sizes but I have not gained weight anywhere else. So I'm ecstatic. No cramps, 5 day periods, no mood swings, not pregnant. I love this pill!"


"I have suffered from embarrissing cold sores for years.  My doctor told me about a single day dose of Famvir (1500mg).  He wrote me a script so that I have them on hand when I feel an outbreak coming.  I soon as I feel the outbreak, I initiate the therapy and the cold sore does nothing more than get a little red for a day or so.  No more full blow outbreaks, this has been wonderful."


"Depakote was (and still is) a miracle drug for me with my migraines.  I used to get one almost every day, and now it's down to just a few small ones every month!"


"Used for post nadal drip.   Ineffective, horrible residue, sore throat, crackly voice, headache, one earache, and just did not alleviate original issue"


"LOVE IT. I had the worst breakouts, so I got Epiduo. When I used it the first time it showed results the next day. I continue to use it and I almost don't have a single breakout and I've only been using it for a week. It also helps with redness and acne scars. I love my new skin and you will too."


"Very good for insomnia and stress which leads to depression.  No side effects."


"Personal favorite antibiotic. Taken it many times over the last 8 years. I've never had any harsh side effects but I always take this medication with a light meal, usually high in carbs. Usually within 3 to 5 days all symptoms are gone and you can return to a light version of your routine, but you must finish the medication otherwise your symptoms will return far worse. If you are having trouble with nausea from this zofran has worked for other medications I've taken in the past, so I'd recommend asking your doctor about it before counting this medication out. I have lupus so I'm usually on this medication 10  times a year for things like strepthroat, tonsillitis, utis, upper respiratory infections, and all the other fun winter brings"


"I am currently on day 2 of macrobid, 2x daily for 5 days. Pharmacist was sure to emphasize to take macrobid with food to prevent nausea. So far, I have no nausea, but have developed a terrible headache. I must say, that pain of the UTI was gone within two hours of taking my first dose, which is worth it to me. So I'll be sticking this one out and hope the headache doesn't worsen."


"I was out on a couple of different types of medications for my ADD. When I came across Concerta, it is close to perfect to me. I don't get that feeling like I'm spaced out like Adderral."


"I am only on Plaquenil a month now for primary Sjogren's Syndrome having been diagnosed in Jan 2014.  So far I am feeling much better in that I am sleeping so much better.  Before taking medication I would wake 5/6 times a night and found it difficult to go back to sleep now I only wake up once and go back almost immediately.  This is the
first thing that I have noticed and I know it is very early days as my Rheumatologist said it can take 2 months before any results."


"You can go to qsymia website to get a discount. This is my third day on my try period. I paid zero dollars for my first two weeks due to the discount found on the website. I am excited "


"I have always had this feeling of being scattered, very much able to project manage, etc. but it took considerable amounts of "mental energy" as compared to others and every thought had an emotional connection to it. Well, I started Wellbutrin 300 mg instant release (best in my opinion) 4 per day. From the very first day, I felt this "swooooosh" slow down within my mind and could smell better, colors were amazingly bright and I was laughing and smiling again. I was not depressed previous to taking Wellbutrin as I knew I had dopamine (reward/pleasure center) issues. Take BRAND only - it is AMAZING - I feel like a child again! WOW!"


"I was so excited for this birth control and now I can't wait to get it out of my system.  Only 2 weeks in and already have a yeast infection, major  anxiety, feeling depressed and a loss of sex drive.... I'm miserable and can literally cry at any moment. I will never try this again."


"Yesterday was Day 14 of my Zyclara treatment. Using it on my forehead where there was a previous basal cell, and on my chest where I currently have a basal cell. I decided to do the whole top of my chest. Wow, I have many actinic keratosis. It's really scary. No real bad side effects other than the swelling and rawness on my chest. Forehead, found 1 AK, appears to be working. I have been experiencing some lower back pain, as I did when I used the Carac Cream. Wondering if this is a side effect or not? I hope this works! Will be doing Carac again in the winter on my cheeks.
"


"I started Lexapro 9 weeks ago for mild to moderate depression and anxiety.  My doctor started me at 10mg a day and I'm still taking the same dose.  Honestly, the first 3 weeks were tough.  No appetite, and very sleepy.  My head was in a fog and I couldn't think straight.  Then after the 4th week, I started to feel like my old self again.  The obsessive thoughts are very minimal now and I can get over things much better.  I sleep great now and feel good.  I recommend Lexapro to anyone that is suffering from depression and anxiety.  The depression is basically gone.  The anxiety is still there sometimes, but not nearly as bad as it was.  Stay patient, It works."


"Well I started taking this medicine on Friday and now it's Sunday. It left a strong horrible metal taste in my mouth and yesterday I started experiencing stomach pains that kept me awake at night. After one pill I woke up feeling SO much better I was shocked! My bad painful cough went away. But I was left with this horrible taste and stanch pain. I'm not going to take my 2nd pill today and wait to go to the doctors tomorrow to see if I need to switch to something else. Hope you all feel better!"


"I cannot tell you how long I've suffered from depression due to my plaque psoriasis.  I've tried Stelara, Cosentyx and Humira.  None of them gave me clearance.  I recently started taking Siliq and it's clearing up magically.  It's amazing.  I so highly recommend this drug to anyone with plaque psoriasis.  I feel alive again."


"Itraconazole literally saved my life. I had a life threatening case if pulmonary histoplasmosis disseminating to my liver. Thankfully my infectious disease doctor caught it in time and started me on a pulsating dose of itraconazole while in the hospital. I stayed on a maintenance dose of 100 mg for 2 years and just now got off. I had zero side effects other than being a bit tired but it was worth it. I highly recommend this drug for histo patients."


"Had the Skyla placed at my 6wk postpartum check up. It was slightly uncomfortable but no different than when I had my Para guard placed 8yrs before. My Dr. recommended giving Skyla a try because I have a heart shaped uterus and had experienced problems with the Para guard. The skyla is a smaller IUD. Her belief was if I really wanted to try an IUD the smaller style of device could be the ticket due to the shape of my uterus. Yes I cramped a little that day, and off and on the next day. I spotted constantly for the first 3 months.
I have noticed losing weight to be difficult but who knows if its the device or some other cause.
I have noticed I am more irritable and I have decreased sex drive. Anyone else experience these problems?"


"I only started this yesterday and today I already can feel that things are easier to deal with!! I'm looking forward to feeling somewhat normal."


"I've been on this for about 8 months so far. I take 300mg at bed time. It helps with sleep, but I do feel a bit tired during the day. This has really reduced my mania. I used to argue with people until I was literally foaming at the mouth, but now I lose interest in arguments within 5 or 10 minutes. Twitter and news used to upset me and I'd get ampted up about stories, but that's gone away mostly. Now I can react to things that used to make me furious with a laugh or just a short discussion with someone. Seroquel's not perfect, but the weirdness and intensity I used to experience has gone. It also helps greatly with my IBSd. I haven't had any weight gain, but my diet is low-fat and limited. Seroquel is MUCH better than TCAs btw. Good luck!"


"we went on a long walk, all day thing, my feet were in so much pain, I couldnt even move, I rubbed some on my sore spots, and almost instant relieve :) also had a sore thumb, applied the gel and vala pain gone, thank you, no more NSAIDS for me"


"I am now 55 years old.  I started developing acne when I was 14 .  It became so severe that my parents took me to a dermatologist.  This was back in the 1970s when all that was available were antibiotics and infrared light treatment.  It worked on and off, but after several years my body built up a resistance to the antibiotics and the severe acne returned.  I was prescribed accutane when I was 29.  My acne cleared up in 3 days!  I had some mild side effects: dry skin, dry lips (which continue to this day).  But my skin is crystal clear and has been for almost 30 years!!!  I highly recommend this wonderful medication.  I don't know what my life would have been like without it,"


"I had unprotected sex with my gf I was worried that I had orgasmed In her so I bought her a plan b pill she took it 13 hrs after sex or the next morning. After a very long week of waiting she finally got her period. All I can say to all you guys out there is that you should trust the pill and not worry keep your minds busy don't stress out about it that doesn't cure anything (:"


"I just started Prozac again after being off it for several years.  After going off Prozac the first time, I tried battling depression with alternative methods, including yoga, exercise and CBT.  Recently I decided I was losing the battle using these methods alone and went back to Prozac.  My experience so far is that the medication is working. I have so far not been experiencing the really deep lows while on this medication.  I do feel a bit drowsier that usual, although this is not entirely unwelcome as I was having trouble sleeping before and now I find I am able to sleep and nap more easily.  Exercise and avoiding alcohol dramatically helps with the drowsiness issue and also helps improve mood further in combination with the Prozac."


"I've had no mood swings, no weight gain, no acne. It has certainly prevented pregnancy. However, I have had a full period lasting more than 7 days every other week for the past 6 months. I spend almost half my month bleeding. I don't get cramps but my periods are heavier than before. It's getting to the point where I'm thinking about getting it taken out."


"I'm a 20 yr old female with anxiety, panic disorder, and attention deficit. This was my first day of Pristiq, but I noticed a huge change today already! I took a 50mg in the morning before work and had no problem dealing with customers or talking to strangers in general. I had a few short moments where I felt nervous, but I was surprised to find I was very relaxed all day. I really had no idea I was so anxious all the time! I would definitely recommend this!"


"I'm always tired and moody! I always feel sad and get angry and rageful very easily. I'm emotional and I no longer feel the desire to do the things I used to enjoy, waking up is a task every morning, my job has become more difficult and I feel like I've lost all my motivation, I can't wait too be off the Nuvaring I'm hoping I can go on an IUD or something better. I haven't gained any weight and I've been on it for two years but the side effects just aren't worth it. My husband and I seem to argue more and more. My breasts hurt all the time I feel nauseous and sick constantly and the smells of certain food make me sick. I might as well be pregnant."


"I felt on a deep depression/anxiety my "great Doctor" put me on Lexapro 20mg. Two months later I was back at work and felt like a totally new me! I stopped the medication after six months and until now I feel great. I have no need to go back on the medicine. However, if the need arrives I will definitely will consider Lexapro.....a life saver medicine with no side effects at all to my body."


"I had a very bad addiction to morphine and methadone. I didn't think anything was ever going to help me to get better. I started the Suboxone and have been clean for almost 2 yrs now. It's amazing how far I've come. I have twins, new house, new car, and on my way to getting back to school. But it only works if you really want to stop your bad habits."


"Monistat 7 day should be recalled! Within 2 minutes of using the first dose I'm burning!!! Something is terrible wrong with this product!"


"Works wonderfully as the only night medication (25mg).  I fall asleep after 30 mins, no hang-over, I wake up feeling great, clear, rested! However when I don't take I pass the night sleepless, its really frustrating and it worries me a lot."


"I HATED this birth control. Yes, it was easy to use and effective (no pregnancies), but I bled or spotted three weeks out of the month for the TWO years I had the nexplanon. Sex life suffered. I also think the Nexplanon caused more cystic acne on my face."


"I had UTI, usually it goes away with OTC Azo and water, but this time I could not get rid of it. So I went to the ER. They gave me Bactrim. 2 a day for 5 days. I took the entire round of them and nothing changed. The medicine itself made me sick as a dog. I could eat with it or not eat with it and it didn't matter. I was still so nauseous. It gave me chills and made me dizzy as well. I wouldn't give this to my worst enemy!"


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Within two weeks of taking Pradaxa I have experienced a noticeable improvement in health and well-being. Pradaxa has replaced Coumadin, since then all bruising, bleeding and general malaise has ceased. No side effects.
From being tired and restless I'm now energetic and active all day.
"


"First day I took the first 20mg capsule...thought I was going to have a seizure and was having a full blown panic attack. She had given me this for anxiety and for pain (didn't help either: in fact made BOTH the pain and anxiety worse) I couldn't sleep that night. I was supposed to try it for 3 weeks before she upped my dose but I said no way. I threw the bottle away and don't ever want to put one in my body again. It almost strangely reminded me of being on a stimulant (adderall or vyvanse) but it wasn't pleasant or made me focus. I was extremely distracted and panicking so much. I cried for hours."


"I've used Dulcolax just a couple of times, once when I developed constipation for in excess of a week when I was on an antibiotic for 30 days and once when I was on vacation and traveling by car for over a week.  My experience is much different than most of the folks who have provided reviews here.  In both cases, I used the maximum dose of three tablets, as I am over 6' tall and weigh 200 lbs, plus I was tired of being constipated.  I took them at about 5PM in both cases, and made sure to drink a few glasses of water over the next few hours.  By morning, the constipation was finally relieved in each case, with no real side effects.  No cramping, no discomfort, it worked great for me."


"I took Naproxen for eight months before my doctor associated it with the severe side effect of my throat swelling and the feeling of something stuck in my throat, stomach bleeding and neck pain and enduring an oesophagoscopy."


"My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex on April 8 @ around 8 pm. This is my second time taking the pill. We weren't sure if he finished or not so I started freaking out. We went to get the pill the next morning @ 10 am. I took it  immediately. I didn't have many symptoms. I finally got my period this morning (April 18) but it came 5 days late."


"This medication changed my life! It gave me my life back. Lost 67lbs in 5months. It made the food I was eating taste like it was "crap, disgusting, processed garbage" I was a fast food Pepsi addict (case of Pepsi a day). After my first dose I have never been able to drink a Pepsi again! I craved fresh foods vegetables grass fed beef. Partnered with real kickboxing the weight came off so fast and I've been off the Qsymia for 2 months and NO weight gain just more loss. I still have no desire to eat the garbage I did before. My brother is having the same success as I have had on Qsymia. Some people say its the cost of the medication they can't do it."


"I am 65 and have been on Femara for 2 years. Side effects quite severe. Joint pain, lost libido, dry vagina. However it is what it is and we must continue to take. So, I decided to fight the effect, dry vagina improved with a non hormonal lubricant. For joint pain, fish oil, magnesium, zinc and calcium twice a day, big improvement. Also each morning no matter how stiff you are, go walking, it warms up the joints and gets you going for the rest of the day. I also do weights 3 times a week to increase muscle to protect bones.  All have made big a difference. No weight gain. Vitamins have certainly helped keep hair and skin in good condition. Three more years of it so it's best to just keep trying to counteract the negative effects."


"I started Champix mid November 2015 and have been smoke free for over 3 weeks now.  I was a regular smoker for 40 years and now this is the end of smoking career.  While the product works very well for me I do find no energy, bloated, gassy and no sleep at night.  Also my appetite has changed a lot, and my eating habits have improved as well, no sugars or fatty foods as cravings have dropped. A good way to lose weight. Dropped 6 KG in 1 month.   Will now see how it will be once I stop the medication in mid February.  Best choice ever made."


"Magnesium Citrate can be used a bowel  prep product if used as directed  by colonoscopy nurse.
In low doses it is a mild laxative. I use it for muscles  and sleep much better at night."


"I recently just stopped taking Necon because of my terrible experience with it. I only took it for about 3 months but it made my periods very irregular, I would have spotting on and off two weeks before my period and it caused me to gain 10 pounds. I thought I was getting fat but had no change in my diet. I also have severe period cramps and this does not help with them at all. I do not recommend this product."


"Miracle. Period. I had ZERO side effects and I feel so much better I can't even describe the feeling of relief. This medicine literally saved my life and I would take it again. I wish I could take it every day because it made my skin look AMAZING. I haven't had a SINGLE pimple or cyst since I finished this.

I used to have cysts so huge they would turn my skin purple. I have horrendous scars all over my face from the damage. But now? It's getting better and I feel like a new person. Thank you!"


"I was given this because of swelling on top of right hand and pain in arm.  I have a baker cyst in left knee and was told I have osteoarthritis.  I am 61 and the pain and swelling came on suddenly.  I have been on this medicine for 2 weeks and do not feel any difference."


"I have had chronic OCD for the last year and a half.
I tried hundreds of different kinds of medication, and it's safe to say none of them worked.
After five days of Anafranil, I started seeing multiple improvements.  As more days passed, the level of improvement only increased.
Unfortunately, it's not without side effects.
I don't eat properly, I don't sleep for more than five hours, my body trembles and I feel terribly weak, but I have this theory hat maybe these side effects play an important role in forcibly stopping you from performing compulsions."


"Well I'm back again and have now been on quetiapine for three years. During that time I've had no major problems. In fact I've been stable enough for my doctors to agree to me having a gastric bypass to deal with my weight issue and have now lost 7 stone and have more confidence than ever before. Quetiapine helps me get to sleep but doesn't knock me out for as long as before. I average 8 hours per night, but still tend to have an afternoon nap. The gnawing anxiety only returns for short periods when under a lot of stress. The downside to quetiapine? I wonder if it makes me unable to empathize. My dad died recently and I've coped far too well. life is a nice warm cosy blur. But the alternative was torture for years."


"I've been on this medicine since March 28, 2014 and it's currently 3/28/2017. Very effective medicine with no weight gain, but it takes away my ability to ejaculate which I sometimes miss. I've really been waiting on the injection version to be available as this is the best medicine we've found for me for depression and psychosis and I'd like to try the shot. Our insurance Aetna & medicaid covers the co-pay entirely. This medicine is great for anyone suffering from schizophrenia, depression, autism, or bi-polar. I've been diagnosed with all four. Other medicines I've tried are Latuda which gave me the need to constantly move akathesia, I've been on nearly every medicine and I'd recommend this one the highest , I also take clonidine to sleep"


"I was prescribed this following three or four days with crippling stomach pain caused by gastritis' within a few hours I had immediate relief and within 36 hours felt virtually back to normal, so much so that I ceased taking the medication on day 4 or 5 (supported by my GP).

I was taking the 40mg Gastro-resistant tablets twice daily."


"Took indomethacin and in about 1 1/2 days pain was has gone down tremendously, first time with gout. BUt had the runs and stomach cramps."


"Severe anxiety and debilitating depression - a normal active happy person reduced to nothing but the dark in a bed for months. Prescribed every drug in the book in every combination - twice! All absolutely utterly totally useless. One day my doc said we are going to try an unusual dangerous drug - Nardil, because its your only hope. FANTASTIC UTTERLY INCREDIBLE. In two days I was living again and I was nearly better."


"I first got on the ring when I was 16 then got off when I was 18. I loved it! It made my skin the best it's ever been in my life and I had no weird side effects like mood swings and depression. I think it actually made me less depressed. The only thing was it did make you gain about ten pounds, which is why after two years I went off it. The weight dropped off immediately after I stopped using it. I'm 20 now and I'm considering using it again. Just have to watch what I eat and stay at the gym an extra half hour I guess!"


"Not sure if people actually get the purpose of this medicine. This medicine is to fight the flu and shorten it by 1.3 days, this medicine will not cure the flu over night. After just finishing my second dose, I can say you have to take this medication with food. I took without food and felt nausea within 15 minutes. Felt a lot better after forcing myself to eat. As far as how well its working I can say this is my 4th day of the flu and my symptoms are slowly residing. Still feel god awful but its reassuring to know something is trying to kick this flu's butt"


Acetaminophen / caffeine / dihydrocodeine

"Severe lower back pain. Took my first dose last night. The caffiene in it, kept me awake all night. Took another dose this morning. The caffiene makes my heart feel like it's beating out of my chest..the codiene in this medicine did help my back pain..I eat before I take it, because it does upset my stomach.. I will be talking to my doctor about switching to something else. I'd just rather have plain old hydrocodone ....no caffiene ....."


"This has changed my life. When I feel chest pressure or squeezing and or shortness of breath I put a .4 under my tongue and viola, all is well.  I highly recommend this medicine."


"STAY AWAY,Worst drug EVER!!!!!!!!!"


"At first I liked it. My Endocrinologist was waiting for it to be approved and available, so put me on it once it was. It lowered my Blood Sugar and my Blood Pressure. I did not lose weight as some do (which I suspect is mostly water weight from urinating more).  I had to stop my blood pressure medicine because I felt I was bottoming out with both meds (Invokana was lowering my blood pressure too).

But now that I have been taking Invokana, since it was available, I just recently stopped it due to not being able to handle the side effects anymore. I feel so FATIQUED ALL the time. My muscles ache once I get to the top of my stairs. I am out of breath and feel like I have run a marathon. My chest would feel tight and just felt faint all the time when doing anything! Add life's stresses (job) to that, and it made me so miserable!!

And, I have been working out 4 days a week since Jan!! It is so frustrating. I am also on week 4 of a nothing but veggie and some fruit smoothies (no meat, wheat, and only dairy is whole fat Greek yogurt). So I figured since I was having to watch my blood sugars more closely, since they were lower with this new eating plan, now was a good time to quit the Invokana. I am hoping within a week I might feel like my old self again. Due to doing EVERYTHING I can to HELP my Diabetes, and I still felt bad, I knew it had to be my Invokana. The only other med I take is Lantis SolarStar.

I started to get worried about long term effects of Invokana, especially since I was doing what anyone with health issues should do (exercise and eat super healthy), and still felt fatigued, I decided to do more research online and have found MANY others with my SAME and worse side effects. Many complain of constant yeast infections (both women and men), hair loss, swelling of lymph nodes to where they did STD tests and cancer screening, shortness of breath, fatigue, urinary tract infections, bladder infections, kidney issues (some really bad). I got scared reading so many many bad reviews. I don't want to end up with major kidney problems!!

So I am going to do what every Type II Diabetic should do, and actually EAT HEALTHY and EXERCISE!! We are switching to organic foods and plan to continue drinking these green smoothies for 2 meals a day and have a reasonable dinner. We need to lose weight anyways. That will ensure we get tons of veggies and fruits and so much nutrition that we would otherwise be deficient in. We keep track of all our calories to ensure we get enough protein, and healthy fat etc. I also take some supplements, super foods, and vitamins made with whole food. We are going to stop all soda, sugar, artificial sweeteners, and pre-made and highly processed foods, as best we can...it will be a process, lol. . I am so mad at all that is put in our food, I can't believe it is legal!!. Most chronic type diseases are due to inflammation in the body and what we PUT in our bodies. Healthy in, healthy out. Crap in, crap out. You ARE what you eat. Stop putting chemicals and toxins in your body. Stop eating food that is not raised/cultivated naturally healthy. Eat whole food and "clean" foods. Cure yourself with Nature's Nutrition! Good luck to you all! :D"


"I had tried just about every other medication out there, but none of them worked well for me. Then tried the 4mg Toviaz sample, which helped some but didn't stop the problem. The 8mg Toviaz has been a life saver! It completely stopped my overactive bladder symptoms. It does cause dry mouth, and after around 3 weeks on it, I'll start to get a little hoarse. If I stop taking it over a weekend, by Monday, the hoarseness has subsided and I can start taking it again. It does cause dry mouth, and I have to be careful about constipation. But it works! Now if I can just get my insurance company to cover it."


"Hello! I started phentermine back in March of this year. My starting weight was 213lb and my ending wight was 185lb in May.  and as of today I'm 180!"


"Clears up allergies like a charm but side effects are no joke. Jittery, trouble sleeping, massive anxiety, I couldn't sit still went on a cleaning binge for hours on end though lol. Woke up next day drained still feeling some side effects. Scary drug."


"I've been on Cymbalta for a few years now (on various doses) alongside clonazepam (0.5mg twice/day) and I have to say its been the worst experience of my life. I was put on it after Effexor XR basically stopped working after 4 yrs.At first cymbalta seemed to "take the edge off". I didnt notice many of the initial side effects because of my severe withdrawal from Effexor.But after about 9 months at 30mg Cymbalta just stopped working and actually started to make me experience anxiety and panic attacks that were insanely intense. I have moved up to 60mg and back down to 30, upped my clonazepam and its just gotten worse and worse. Weight gain (50lbs), severe panic attacks, gad, severe depression, ocd, stomachache, IBS, headache, ..."


"I've been on Sprintec for almost 3 months. I have unprotected sex and I haven't gotten pregnant. It's really reliable and my periods aren't painful. Highly recommend!"


"I'm 37, my husband is 63. We tried Viagra and it works. We decided to try Cialis this past weekend just to compare the two. Cialis is UNBELIEVABLE, None of the headaches or side effects that he would get from the Viagra and they really mean it when they say it lasts 36 hours. It is a little expensive, but well worth every penny to see your husbands confidence restored. Ladies take it from a VERY satisfied wife you wont be leaving the house for the entire weekend so get everything you need before he takes the pill. Life is good!"


"I was prescribed this medicine after failed attempts on Effexor, Lexapro, Zoloft and Pristq.  I've been trying different medicines and have been having panic attacks ever since I can remember, even when I was a child in school, after my son was born it got WORSE. I am currently taking Xanax, two 0.5mgs a day and clonazepam two 1mg's a day and also a Beta Blocker for fast heart rate. I've been on the Beta Blocker for 6 years. I have been taking Xanax and clonazepam for 3 years. They do not help my anxiety 100%. I still get attacks, but not full blown panic attacks like I used to. I took my first Cymbalta last night. I'm supposed to take 20mg in the morning and another 20mg at night. No side effects yet! I'm hoping this will be the pill that works for me!"


"Relieved back pain almost instantly when used IV form, awesome! But very little effect when taken orally."


"I was on this For 5 YEARS UNTIL My DOCOTR MADE ME Get Off SINCE THIS CAUSES low bone density. I regret being on it so long but was scared to try anything else and get pregnant.

Pros- no periods/cramps and no pregnancy

Cons-weight gain. I was a soccer player my entire high school career and walked everywhere. I gained 40 pounds in 5 year period. 20 pounds first year. It didn't stop. I went from 150 lbs to 206. At this point I wanted to get off and I reached 5 year limit.

I HIGHLY DO NOT RECCOMMEND"


"I had been suffering with anxiety for a better part of my life, but never had it gotten as bad as it was in the last 2 years. I would have intense panic attacks and was afraid to socialize. This in turn led me to become depressed. The first drug I was put on was fluoxetine. This drug was not compatible with me AT ALL. My anxiety become 10 times worst. I would wake up in the middle of the night and have hour long panic attacks, could barely eat. I genuinely thought I was going to die on this drug, and I even become suicidal. I told my psychiatrist and was put on sertraline 50mg. Within the first week I could feel a significant difference. Way happier, anxiety decreased significantly, and more motivated. I began to felt like my self again!!"


"Gianvi is the only birth control I've ever used, and granted I've only been on it two weeks, but so far I LOVE IT. Not only am I less irritable, judgmental, and teary, but  for the first time in months I am able to fall asleep without using melatonin or any other sleep aid. Also, my sex drive has way increased. I haven't felt bloated, but breasts are a little larger. I have noticed that if I don't take the pill within the same hour range I am a little "off" emotionally. But if I keep it regular- I feel better than I have in years."


"I'm taking Oxybutynin (5mg tab) once a day at bedtime.  So far loving this medication.  I have some trouble with sleeping so this medication helps me fall asleep.  I'm taking the lowest dose so I really don't have the dry mouth problem. The best part is now I'm going 5 hours or more at night before peeing. I'm getting a much better night sleep. Insurance rates this as a tier 1 medication, so my cost is only 10 bucks a month. So at not having to get up every 2 hours to pee is outweighing any side effects."


"I've suffered from my first bout of migraine as a teenager to now 49, the last10 moths has been actually hell ,

Im on blood pressure tablets , levothyroxine , then symptoms started back in April tingling arms legs , numbness , brain fog, memory loss , stumbling, falling over , intolerance to light and sound. Head pain from hell , ear pressure , nausea ect 24 /7 my life was stopping

Had cat scan showed I had empty sella syndrome,

Migraines lasted daily for 5 months so neurologist paced me on Topiramate and so far wow

I slept for 3 days , head pain and symptoms started to go and now I am starting to feel like me again

What works for one person , may not work for next but for me so far pain and symptoms have gone ,"


"I do not recommend nuvaring. I used it for six months and while it was effective in preventing pregnancy, l had terrible side effects. The first month or two wasn't too bad but every month would gradually get worse. My lady parts were so sensitive. The skin was so irritated it would burn during sex and I would get fissures sometimes just from sitting down. The irritation caused itching and overall discomfort that in the very end of using it, even prevented me from being able to be intimate at all. I went to the doctor for possible bacterial infections, yeast infections, but none were the cause. After six months I finally realized it was my nuvaring. I've been off for almost a month and I'm completely back to normal."


"Apri is the first birth control I have tried and so far I'm very impressed! I have only been taking Apri for 3 weeks but I've had almost no side effects. I had some light spotting for the first 2 weeks but it has completely stopped now. My breasts have gotten slightly larger and my sex drive has increased. I randomly threw up once but I think that was because of what I ate not the pill. I've had no increase or decrease in my appetite or weight, hair seems almost thicker and I had no acne break out. So far I LOVE THIS PILL!"


"Hello you guys. Shortly after giving birth to my last child in October, I had liletta placed in December 2016. It was a bit painful , but mine was inserted while on my cycle. I felt cramps as my doctors deployed the liletta but only for a few minutes. After I left the doctor, I went to pump gas and went home . When I got home, my cycle was completely off. It stayed that way until day 5 and then it was like a crime scene. I bled consistently for 2 months and my body adjusted. Even after my body accepted it I still felt cramps when I worked, cleaned , or sat down. Today, June 23,2017, I got it removed because for the past couple of weeks I've been dealing with unbearable pain! Cramps none stop but It did prevent pregnancy."


"I had an abscess on my right Molar and was prescribed this and Metazol, I also had nausea and vomiting and felt sickly but compared to the pain from the abscess I rather take it anytime, it took one day on these meds for the swelling to go down, My whole right side was severely swollen and one day after these meds the swelling came down considerably and I could face people again, I am thankful that the abscess  burst after two days on the meds and now I have under gone the extract and surgery and still on these meds in fear of any further infection its been  weeks now and I have one week to go on them and wouldn't stop even if I was hanging over a toilet bowl throwing up constantly."


"I've been taking indomethacin at the onset of headache along with twice a day doses of Topamax. The combination works well to control my cluster headaches and I only have them about every other month now."


"I just had my implant changed a week ago after 3 years and for me it's been great. I used to be on the pill but it made me ill. For me the first 3 months my periods were irregular but afterwards I got one every month for about 5 days, me and my boyfriend have unprotected sex and no babies so far, I get moodswings but what girl doesn't, and I haven't gained weight at all either its the perfect contraception for me plus reduction of breakouts :)"


"I have had HPV for YEARS! Its a horrible, relentless and unflattering disease and it will not go away. Aldara seems to do absolutely nothing, and the doctor that has seen my private parts more than any sexual partner (solely due to the HPV) doesn't really seem to know how the virus works. I go for freezing once every couple of months or so and they just grow back. With the Aldara it just seems to be all for nothing and sets your hopes up to be dashed. I really wish I was as fortunate as the other reviewers on this site but I can't say that Aldara works at all! :-("


"This is my 2nd week on Contrave and I have lost 13lbs it is AWESOME I feel fantastic only side effect that I having is insomnia..."


"My fiancé and I have only ever used condoms as protection during sex. One afternoon, while we were intimate, the condom broke and neither of us realized it had happened until after the fact. As we are not in a position where we are ready for children, we turned to Plan B. I took a pill within an hour of the condom breaking; and being the nervous and paranoid mess that I was, I took a second at the 24 hour mark.
As it was the second to last day of my period when we had sex, I wasn't sure how long it would be before I saw a sign that it had worked; but within a week I was bleeding again. After that, my cycle returned to normal.
The only other side effect I experienced was severe fatigue; but that only lasted a week."


"I was a little hesitant to try LoSeasonique due to all of the negative reviews, but thought it was worth a shot at no longer having a period every month, since I struggle with heavy periods for 11 days every month.  I have just finished taking my first pack and never once experienced spotting during the three months on this pack.  Nor did I have any changes in skin, weight or cramping.  My sex drive even increased. Some factors that may have helped ease my body onto this pill so smoothly might relate to the fact that I took the pill at the same time everyday and have been on birth control for about nine years. Everyone's body reacts differently, so it may be worth taking the risk.  I for one am very pleased with this pill."


"I have been on Seasonique for about three years. I was totally unaware of all the different side effects that women have been experiencing (such as the hair loss, etc.) In general I am rather happy with this pill. I rarely ever spot, my skin has not changed, my weight has not changed, and neither has my hair. However, over such a long period of time-- now that I think about it I don't really know if my hair, weight, and skin have changed due to Seasonique or the fact that I am no longer 19. Overall I like the pill very much since having fewer periods is always, always a good thing in my book. However I literally feel as though I have become an asexual due to my VERY little sex drive, which at 22, should be kicking."


"I was infected with HIV approximately 10 years ago.  I'm now 62 years old.  After watching my CD4 count drop from the first test of 900 to 450 over a 5 year period I decided to start meds.  Went on a regime of Truvada/Norvir/Prezista for 3 years.  My CD4 climbed to 1200 and I was undetectable but constant diarrhea caused me to switch to Stribild.  I remain undetectable, my last four CD4 tests have been over 1500, and the diarrhea is much less frequent, in fact none in the past 6 months.  Hope this continues and although costly, I give Stribild a big two thumbs up."


"So me and my boyfriend had sex and he thought the condom broke. I peed and due to it being late at night I had to purchase the pill the next morning. I took the pill and didn't get my period until a week later. During that time I was freaking out and that's normal, but let me stress that this pill works! And stressing is normal but saving the stress will save you time and energy because all is gonna work out! After the period was finished I waited a week and took a pregnancy test and it was negative. After another week I took another and still negative! It works! Don't stress!"


"This drug decreased my hot flushes by 2/3.  I figured it would be 100% but that was probably an unreasonable expectation. I've gone from 8-12 a day to 2-3.  I've suffered hot flushes since 1998 and the past 6 months they have only gotten more frequent and very annoying.  My husband says I'm nicer to live with after taking Effexor, so now I realize I really was irritable from the lack of sleep and night sweats this past year.  I tend to forget names or words more frequently but am not sure if the foggy brain has another cause. "


"I have been taking Sprintec since May 2016.  I was doing great on the blue pill, but when it came to taking the white pill for 7 days, I would bleed for weeks straight at a time.  So, playing doctor, I just started taking the blue pill and would skip over taking the white pill and I would spot every now and then. When I did do that I would have severe cramps (never had cramps before in my life) and decided to finish the pack as suggested (blue/white pills).  Now it is August and for three weeks I have been bleeding non-stop.  I have not taken any of my blue pills since Sunday, July 31st, to see if the bleeding would stop and sure enough it HASN'T....I am tired of cramping when on the pill and bleeding when I follow the directions.  HELP???"


"This helped me tremendously! I've been using this for quite awhile for my rhinitis. Have had no side effects! I'm 62 years old. Feeling much better!"


"I just had an tooth extraction #13, was prescribed Tylenol 3 and it barely worked. I've taken two within 6 hrs and nothing has happened. Instead I feel more pain and it's causing me a severe headache. Will go back to my oral surgeon to see if I can get something stronger. What a waste!!!"


"I have been on this birth control for 5 months. My first oral contraceptive, and it has not affected me in anyway. I did not gain weight (I actually lost weight), get larger breasts or anything like that. It did regulate my period which was also healthy. Periods were light, about 2 -3 days, without cramping. Previous to the pill, I never had acne problems so that was not an issue. It all depends on body chemistry because this pill affected my friends more than me. Overall, this pill was great. Not pregnant, I still use condoms, and never had any symptoms!"


"This will be my third time on Malarone . Never had any side effects and even though I missed days taking it....no problems at all."


"I've been taking prozac for three months now and I'm the best I've ever been. I can see the beauty in the world that I saw when I was little. I don't think bad thoughts anymore. Sometimes I miss a few days on my medication and I'll see something like a road or a song or an old diary entry from my journal and it will be a subtle reminder of how I felt but I am strong enough to fight those thoughts and push them away. I smile more and I talk to people. I'm not scared to talk to people in public anymore. My anxiety is almost gone. I dont feel depressed anymore and I love myself. I don't hate myself anymore. I've gotten distracted by how beautiful and amazing I can be that I don't think about flaws or imperfections. I feel great. Prozac is a miracle"


"I have been on citalopram (generic of Celexa) for just under two months now. At first, my anxiety was worse which my doc said was to be expected. After about 4 weeks, I started to notice a slight difference. The only side effects I have noticed are that I am fatigued and loss of appetite. It is a huuuuge struggle for me to eat. I make myself so I don't starve and mess up my metabolism, but it's a chore. Other than that, I really like the rx and would recommend it. I have tried zoloft and prozac- of the three, I like citalopram most."


"I have had a reaction to this medicine. It caused severe vertigo/migraine which required an emergency room visit. The vertigo continued for several months. When I stopped the spray, it slowly dissipated. When I started up the spray, the vertigo returned."


"Was due to take 2 litres of MoviPrep before a colonoscopy. Took the first litre  without much trouble at 7pm and, despite gurgling, did not go to toilet before going to bed at 10pm. Attempted to take the second litre at 6am but only managed to drink about half of it before I was projectile vomiting the solution plus stomach bile everywhere. Wasn't able to take anymore and still had very minimal bowel movements so had to cancel my procedure."


"At one mg, it completely removed all signs of depression and the side effects and feelings of lack of control associated with the depression. Although similar to moving into a new house, it was easy to get used to it and greatly simplified daily routine for the most part. Does not help with PMS associated lack of concentration but enhances concentration overall at this low dosage and makes it easy to focus on relationship problems also, although no drug can change the other person. "


"Initial breast cancer stage 2 in 2001 with chemo and radiation. Diagnosed stage 4 with mets to one rib in October 2015. One year on zometa with letrozole and ibrance for nearly two years. No serious side effects and my tumor marker went from 220 to 83. No trouble with blood cell counts. Some tiredness and nausea. Small meals and lots of water help. Ibrance is now covered by Medicaid. With this leadership in charge, who knows what will happen to me. I can't afford it on income of $2,000 a month. Eek."


"After probably a little less than 2 weeks I started having auditory and visual hallucinations at night. It also hasn't really improved my sleep or helped my fibro pain. It has significant worsened my depression and possibly worsened my anxiety which I somewhat expected while my body adjusted to the medication change but I cannot deal with the hallucinations and am planning on changing it"


"1 pill twice a day. Voltaren effective until it caused server swelling of my entire legs and hands. The increased edema put pressure on my bursa in both hips and on the nerves leaving my groin and going into my legs. All of this pressure caused electrical shocks in my thighs. I took a diurectic but it didn't remove the fluid from my thighs."


"I'm 20, 5'5 , and 155 pounds. While taking Errin I finally stopped getting my period and got my appetite back. I was on the combination pill which made me nauseous , tired and in the end I constantly kept spotting and getting my period along with worsened cramps. HOWEVER while taking Errin I have gained two or three pounds so far and my skin is breaking out. I'd like to say on the bright side I don't get a period but.. let's me honest I'd rather be off birth control. I've been on Errin for 1 month and one week. Good luck ladies"


"I've used the ring for about 4 months & I can't wait to get rid of it. I have a very hard time removing the ring. I can never find it right away & I can barely reach it or grasp it to pull it out. I feel as if although it isn't supposed to go up into your cervix, mine is very difficult to find & is very weirdly far up there & to me this isn't normal. I freak out every time I have to remove it & I usually end up in a panic & bleeding. I also feel like it increases my anxiety & depression a ton! Especially the first few days after inserting. The only positive thing I have to say is that it is convenient to not take a pill every day. Otherwise, I will never be using it again."


"I would say sprintec has pros and cons similar to what I have read in other reviews. My periods are much lighter, typically on time and I'm not pregnant "


"I have been taking Wellbutrin SR to treat stress related depression.  I have had no side effects and have experienced a large increase in my libido.  I feel like a kid again."


"I just had a two level lumbar fusion two weeks ago and have severe muscle spasms that started up a couple of days ago. When I needed the Robaxin to work, it's like taking a placebo. I've called the surgeons office for another option as this is not going to work for me."


"I've got to say, that most of reviews are so misleading that its crazy. You cant judge the implant or any hormonal product after few months. It is normal that your body needs to adjust to sudden change is that hormone. Also there are tonnes of information about the fact that for first year your bleeding will change and can be annoying but you shouldn't go and give it bad review after few months ... I had it in not too long but I change from the pill with the same hormone therefore I had same effects as I had on the pill. Good up side of this is that I can eat what I want and my bad stomach won't affect the effectiveness of the protection. So, so far I am happy. I would suggest stick around for a year before u decide to remove it. Bleeds will stop."


"I have had general anxiety most of my life, and occasional panic attacks. About a month ago, some personal issues tossed me into a week-long panic attack, I fell into a deep depression that made me have horrible physical pain.

I started Neurontin 4 days ago and hours later, I was able to get up and move around, the panic attack stopped and I could feel it lifting.  I'm still "down' but I have things to be genuinely sad about.  Today I am starting trazodone to help with sleep,  I don"t get drowsy on Neurontin.  But for me, it worked immediately for the massive anxiety with no side effects except a foggy feeling which I no longer have with doses. The myalgia and pain from the depression is also nearly gone. I'm thrilled."


"This chemical nearly killed me !  Question :  is this drug  in the same category as the biologics ?  If so, then I am not surprised.  Like Humira, Xeljanz, Opdivo, Methotrexate, et al; I can "see the writing on the wall",  in a manner of speaking.
I hope not two see an entirely new year of people who are injured by an entire nation of people too impatient with the same period of time it'll take for the 15  to 20 years of strict FDA latitudinal / longitudinal double - blind studies necessary to ensure ALL SIDE EFFECTS ARE ABLE TO BE AS MINIMIZED AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE.   For me, with my history of strict regimentation of timing my own medications, I came within 96 hours of loss of life due to a 3- organ-system failure. These things are like rat poison !"


"I had the same experience as bestyloo who posted on July 28, 2015. However my condition started in May 2015, 1 month after taking the product. The condition is called Acute generalised exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) and is very rare and painful. It takes approximately 1 month to heal. My body was literally burning itself from the inside out. We know for a fact that this condition was a result of the Contrave because I was not taking any other medications or OTC drugs. For almost 1 month anything that touched my skin was the most excruciating pain imaginable! I saw 4 doctors who all told me I looked like a picture out of a medical book. I sent documentation of this to the company who has yet to respond. Stay AWAY from this drug!!!"


"I had what I thought was going to be a normal period, (my periods have always been heavy), until it just never stopped. It got so bad I had palm size clots and bleeding so bad I had to use cut up towels with three pads. I made a trip to the ER, all blood work was normal. I already was taking 135mg of iron and vitamin c, so I wasn't anemic even though I was bleeding so bad. They sent me home with a prescription of Provera 10mg once a day. It slowed the bleeding down but never stopped it completely. Was referred  to an endocrinologist, I'm due to have a ultrasound to check for fibroids, but have to have a endometrial biopsy. I was still on provera way past the 10 days it caused shortness of breath and bad weight gain. I had to stop it."
