"About 2 years ago, I took 20mg Prozac for suspected depression for approx. 4  months. I experienced the slightest lift in my mood for about 3 days during the course of treatment. Otherwise, I experienced severe anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, random bouts of euphoria, and, worst of all, incredibly gruesome nightmares. I have no military experience and I am not in a medical/emergency field. I have never been exposed to blood/gore through anything except basic cable and an occasional scary movie. But, I just want to warn as many people as I can that this drug can cause the most brutal, disgusting nightmares a person can experience. I woke up sweating and crying/trying to scream hysterically. I stopped taking it and never looked back."


"I struggled with acne for about 4 years. within months of taking epiduo I have almost perfect skin with a minor breakout every once in a while. I tried so many treatments before epiduo and this was the first thing that worked. I highly recommend it!"


"My implant was inserted in July 2014 and for the first six months, I spotted every day. When that finally stopped, I had no period at all for the following six months. Now it has started again and I've been bleeding for about six weeks now, and I've also been having vertigo-like symptoms that I feel are caused by the Nexplanon. I've made an appointment with my gyno to discuss other options, because I seriously can't go through another two years of this. I have no complaints other than the constant spotting."


"I take this 20mg of this ROTTEN drug at lunch & might as well write off the rest of the day as I am a

zombie.

I take Diltiazem with B/D & it NEVER leaves me in a stupor as Lisinopril does.

I am not a diabetic nor am I suffering from congestive heart failure which Lisinopril

is commonly used for.

I DESPISE this drug but for some reason my doctor feels I need it."


"Chantix is a miracle. It's the best thing to help with quitting smoking. The first week is tough and I had some muscle aches that eventually went away. The dreams are very lucid and real but not bothersome. Some are actually enjoyable. It's a shame my insurance doesn't pay for the medication because it costs $350.00 but it's worth it."


"As far as the medicine doing what it is supposed to do, it's great.  It dries acne (even severe acne, in my case).  Unfortunately, it also caused me to have systemic side effects - rare, but they do happen.  I developed ringing in my ears and had to stop using it.  After a month I tried using it again, and the ringing returned.  I've been keeping careful track of my usage of it and the episodes of ringing in my ear, and they match.  I'm probably one in a thousand that this has happened to, but being a musician, I need to be able to hear.  My dermatologist and I will be meeting next week to discuss this and see if there are any other options for me."


"I have had the Nexplanon for about 9 -10 months. Overall I'm satisfied, I don't get my periods or get pregnant which is great at this time of my life. However I have had severe mood swings. I'm overemotional. And I have gained about 25-30 pounds, Without changing my exercising or eating habits. I'm thinking about removing it sometime soon. Very effective birth control you just have to be a me to deal with the side effects and I can't deal with not being able to fit into my clothes and there are other ways to not get pregnant."


"I have switched from Zoloft to Celexa because Zoloft wasn't working for me like it used to.  I have been on the Celexa for only about a week but I am experiencing stomach pain.  I am irritable, moody, and have even surprised myself with suicidal thoughts which I have never had before.  This medication is so not for me, however, everyone's experience is different because our bodies are so different."


"I am on two AAPs for my bipolar. Zyprexa which handles my anger, and Latuda which helps my intrusive thoughts. I have only been on it for a little over a month. Was on 40mg, was convinced that it wasn't doing anything for me and told my psych I wanted to come off of it. She tapered me down to 20mg for a week and was supposed to stop after that. After reducing down to 20mg the intrusive thoughts returned. I went back to my old ways of blockading my front door out of fear of an intruder, and not leaving my apt at night (zero rational reasoning for my actions). Called my dr and went back up to 40mg as of today. Will not be quitting."


"I was recently hospitalized during a manic episode.  I have been treated for bipolar going on 20 years ( I'm 41). I have been on Zyprexa and other medicines for anxiety.  I am a rapid cycler (frequent manic episodes). I have tried all the meds from A-Z. It's been a awhile since I've tried Depakote, but it's the first thing they put me on in the hospital.  It's been 15 days I think it's ok, but when I lay down I feel like weights are holding me to the bed and I seem to get disorientated as to my location in the house ( weird right??). When I get up all is fine again. If anyone has experienced this please share, it would really help.  Let's face it "regular" people would freak just having this discussion.
"


"I love this acne treatment. I have been using Epiduo for 5 months now and my face has never been clearer. I didn't have severe acne before but I HAD acne. I've tried different things like Proactive and Neutrogena face wash and nothing worked. I finally went to a dermatologist and he prescribed me Epiduo. I have normally really dry skin so within the first week I had really dry flaky skin but I laid off the medicine for about a week and just moisturized and after that I applied every other day till my skin was used to it. Only took about 3 months to completely clear my face up. I love Epiduo. It seriously works wonders. I recommend this product to anyone struggling with acne. It's so easy and as long as you are consistent it really works!"


"I hated it at night, had headaches and just felt bad until I realized that instead of taking it with a half glass of water when I was already in bed I needed to drink as much as I could and take it one hour or more before going to bed. So this is what worked for me. I took it with a glass of milk then drank a cup of chamomille tea and added a glass of water. I walked around a bit and soon enough all that liquid would send me to the bathroom where I honestly thought I was flushing it out of my system

Thats how I started today. Day 6 of 10. I take 3x500mgs daily. And I am finally sure I will survive it. My other problem was an upswt atomach (before the pills) but eating bits of cooked rice/crackers every hour my stomach is better."


"The doctor was hesitant to prescibe an antibiotic, since Kaiser is against them unless you are knocking on deaths door. But after suffering pounding headaches for a month,  terrible mucous in the back of my throat and finally shortness of breath, the doctor agreed to prescribe Augmentin for sinusitis. I had an earache,  constant violent sneezing, exhaustion and head congestion that was only continuing to worsen. After TWO pills, I felt lIke I'd been reborn.  I did wake up at 2 am with the worst heartburn of my life,  though,  and chewed at least 15 Tums, took 2 Pepcid Ac with milk,  and still my guts were on fire.  Take this medication with food,  and probiotics at intervals."


"I was on Loestrin 24. The side effects where horrible. I had everything from leg cramps, arm cramps, unbelievable mood swings to the point you wanted to hit someone, month long spotting and 24/7 nausea and weight loss. My doctor took me off it at the mention of leg cramps and put me on Sprintec. I was nervous because of the side effects from my previous birth control pill but have to say I'm in love! I have been on Sprintec for a year now with no side effects. I feel totally normal. Didn't even spot the first few months....YAY! I definitely would recommend anyone to look into this pill."


"My gynecologist put me on this medication because I have ovarian cysts on both ovaries and also take anticonvulsants, which can make birth control less effective. Since this is the highest dose of BC we were hopeful to avoid surgery. The first month I was on Ogestrel I went from being emotionally well balanced to crying everyday, becoming angry very easily, and feeling very anxious. I did not have any further side effects, but could not take this medication any longer. The Ogestrel had no effect on the ovarian cysts."


"Best medication ever if used correctly! Have HPV and had about 6 small warts around vagina/inner labia for almost two years. I was embarrassed to address the issue but after this experience wish I would've spoken up sooner.

The key is using a TINY amount. I applied to the tip of each wart with a q-tip every other night. Keep OFF your healthy skin - all these negative reviews are from people applying it liberally. This isn't like Neosporin, people. Read the warning that comes with the medication.

My warts cleared up one/two at a time and in no more than two weeks. The discomfort was minimal. Slight tenderness mostly. It has been almost 3 years and they haven't reappeared.

I have a few common warts on my hand so I'm trying it there, too."


"I got cold sores since I was kid. I'm 24 yrs old now and get them about 4 times a year due to stress or if I get sick or something. I got prescribed Valtrex 3 years ago and it has done wonders. Once I feel the tingling I would take a pill and literally the cold sore would stop in its tracks. Even if it starts to show a little such as a deep red I just take a Valtrex and it would stop and then I would get some make up and cover the redness and you wouldn't even be able to tell."


"I had been taking this BC for about three months. I always bled before the fourth week. Each month bleeding earlier than the month before. Didn't gain weight. Did not break out as bad as the first BC I was previously on (Sprintec). Then out of no where, MOOD SWINGS. & when I say mood swings, I'm talking a full 180. One minute things would be fine, then the next, I'm crying & ready to cut off the head the person closest to me. Today I started Xulane. I'm hoping that this will not make me gain weight, break out, or cramp like a lot of the reviews have stated. Hopefully no more mood swings! best part about these pills, I DID NOT GET PREGNANT."


"I have had this IUD for a few weeks. I've always struggled with weight gain W/hormones. I can't take estrogen. On the depo, I gained 30 pounds in 3 months. Then I tried the paragard, no weight gain, but excruciating pain every day for the year I had it in (suspecting an allergy), then I tried nexplanon, thinking it was less hormones, lots of people like it. Gained that same 30 pounds back, but over 8 months instead of 3 before I discontinued. I also had awful anxiety and no sex drive. That said, besides cramping, I've had zero side effects so far with lilletta. No weight gain, no anxiety, normal libido. And for those who don't know, there are several chemically different progestins. Maybe one works for you, another doesn't. DO YOUR RESEARCH."


"I began taking this pill in December 2014 and stopped taking it after I finished my third pack. My breasts were continuously very tender throughout the entire time. The first month I did not have a period and I had two light periods per month after that, however, I did not have any cramping. I also had slight weight gain and ance and extreme hair loss."


"I got nexplanon on January 6, 2015. I was using pills for 3 years prior. At first it was great, the 99.95% effective got me to want it. I have a mild increase in acne, not super moody, don't see much change. Sex drive is still great with my boyfriend. However, my periods now last over 2 weeks at a time (I'm on mine right now and it's now the 20th day) they aren't super heavy but it's enough that I have to wear a tampon. Which is very annoying since I do still have a sex drive haha. Anyways, I like it so far besides my periods. If they don't shorten or disappear I may want to take it out."


"66 yrs old with moderate urinary difficulty, up a couple of times a night. Tried Flomax for a few months, but did not like the stuffy nose, light headedness, sore muscles and crazy dreams. Now taking Rapaflo, with only slight stuffiness.  Seems to work consistently well.  It does cause complete anejaculation (no ejaculation), slight to somewhat diminished climax remains, which feels a little strange but okay.  Overall, Rapaflo works well and the pluses outweigh the minuses - much better for me than Flomax."


"This medicine works like a dream. No side effect what so ever. I was taking augmentin and I hated it. I asked for macrobid instead. 2 days and I was feeling a whole lot better."


"Within three days basically all my anxiety is gone, and I feel fantastic! FINALLY a doctor and psychologist worked together to treat what they said "unique" problem. I had anxiety all the time but wasn't depressed. So I'm one happy lady, and I'm sure my kids are loving there old mum back."


"Was on enbrel for seven years, got relief after first injection.  I developed breast cancer this year and feel that enbrel played a part in bringing it on.  I wouldn't change a thing though, I would have been crippled by now, I had good years enjoying life while on enbrel.  I can no longer take enbrel, and my RA has gotten so much worse.  Also taking prednisone, sulfasalazine, and methotrexate."


"I am on my second pack of Lo Loestrin. The first and second pack have both caused spotting and my first period was a regular period of 5 days. I am emotional and cry easier. I hope the spotting goes away and I have less bleeding for my period or none at all."


"I have had my implant removed after 2years 11 months, my reaction at the moment is relief!

The first 6 months had constant bleeding, tried to get it removed and got forced to give it a few more months.

1 1/2year, period every 3 months but I was constantly moody and depressed, crying, constantly hungry also put on 1 1/2 stone which seems to stick to my stomach, lost my four pack.

A few months ago I had a horrible period and after research think it was a miscarriage but can't be sure.

For the last two months really sore breast and the most alarming one breast got massive, had mad cramps, so now its out no more cramps and more calm waiting to remove plaster and feel normal."


"I was having daily morning migraines and my doctor prescribed Elavil 10mg to take at night as a preventative medication. It worked right away and I love it since it helps me sleep too. I am very happy with what Elavil has done for me."


"This is one of the nastiest drugs i taken for bp. It gave me major depression,major anxiety,restlessness, and major mood swings. I wouldnt recommend this drug to my worse enemy."


"I have stage 4 colon cancer with liver mets.  After 11 treatments of 5 FU and oxalliplatin stopped due to neuropathy.  Some tumors disappeared and others shrunk, but my CEA was not going down.  After a "break" for a few weeks one dominant liver tumor started to grow.  Began new chemo regimen of 5 FU, leucovorin, irinotecan, and erbitux.  My CEA started dropping drastically, my liver tumors shrinking, and the liver inflammation completely gone.  I have 4 more treatments maybe more.  My biggest complaints are dry, rashy skin and some fatigue.  Totally worth the results I'm getting.  My CEA is down to 41!  Hoping for 0 soon! Beware, double check with your insurance, the erbitux is super pricey!"


"I've been taking Yasmin for about two weeks and so far I have not noticed any side effects. It hasn't had an impact on my mood at all, which is good, but also hasn't affected my skin, still being patient because it's supposed to work from about 3 months. I was told by my GP to carry on taking the lynecycline that I have been taking for the last two months because I needed to settle down with Yasmin before I could come off lymecycline. I've felt no effect of taking both of them but it's obvious if I miss out a couple of lynecycline capsules because my skin suddenly explodes with whiteheads.
Now I'm just waiting to see if Yasmin will do anything for my skin and when I can come off lynecycline."


"I took Synthroid for about eight years. My naturopath kept increasing the dose up to 75 "


"Good stuff, stopped my raging hunger in its tracks, gave me improved mood and energy....I can see why it's controlled"


"Been on 7.5mg for over a month . Have not had any side effects good or bad. Biggest loss so far is the $203 I pay for it to do absolutely nothing. Have not lost any weight, actually gained 3 pounds. Med makes me incredibly hungry, go figure. Almost opposite effect. So disgusted and desperate I'm willing to keep on it just hoping to lose something. No matter what I do, I gain weight and yes I am thyroid medicine. At a big loss."


"I have been taking Atarax for about a month now for anxiety due to an obsessive amount of medical conditions that all seem to have started at around the same time.

So I asked my doctor if there was anything I could take that was not addictive, that could help with my anxiety and he gave me atarax. OH MY GOD has this been a miracle drug! Not only do I sleep amazingly every night I feel relaxed enough to get through my day now! On top of that my allergies are now nonexistent and I've been able to refrain from smoking and drinking much more easily because of it. My only problem is the super weird and sometimes scary dreams I get if I take it before bed, but that's hardly an issue compared to how much it has helped me."


"My daughter had lice for almost a year. I used every OTC medicine numerous times and did every removal step but she still had them. My last option was cutting off all her hair like a boy. Used Natroba once and done. It is such a relief to us both (especially since we didn't have to cut off her hair). Only negative is the price."


"I had the Mirena inserted 6 months ago, and slowly but surely my mood and mental state have been deteriorating ever since. Where I would normally have PMS I now cry so much I can't go to work or even answer the phone. My mood crashes with the suddenness and intensity of having a bucket of ice water poured over my head. My sex drive is gone. And this for something the doctors keep saying doesn't influence your moods because the hormones are localised in the body!? And when I finally got hold of someone from Mirena themselves they just told me to go on anti-depressants. I can't wait to get it out of me tomorrow."


"Ive been on Orsythia for 3 weeks. The side effects im having are nightly nausea probably 4-5 nights a week. One night my first week i did vomit. Ugh, its been miserable. The other main side effect is that i have had my period for 15 days now. Its a regular flow too!! That has honestly been obnoxious too. I am not sexually active so i dont know if it is working to actually be birth control. I will say though, i have depression and anxiety and i have NO noticeable mood changes which is awesome:) also no weight gain!!! Woo!!! My boobs are a little bigger though.... Which isnt so bad;) anyways i think its a lot better than Beyaz which i was on about 4 years ago. :)"


"My husband has taken this medication and it is the only thing that works for him. We can not find anything else that works, over the counter. "


"I have had ulcerative colitis for 16 years and I am 31 years old. I can tell you that I've been on pretty much every drug out there to control it. Asacol has been the only drug that I can take without getting any horrible side effects and keep my illness under control. It was even safe throughout my pregnancy. I do take anywhere from 8 to 12 pills a day, but it's so worth it."


"First diagnosed with MS in 2000 and started Betaseron then great results. Had mild side effects, including temporary flu like symptoms and sore injection sites, but that was all. Since the flare up that led to my diagnosis, I have only had 5 flares that I knew were flare ups, with only 1 being a more moderate flare up with similar symptoms as the one that got me diagnosed."


"Had a quintuple bypass surgery in August 2015 following a massive heart attack in May of 2015, during which I "died" for three minutes immediately after arriving at the ER. I had suffered severe chest pain for two hours before going to the ER, which was stupid of me.

I have been on Metoprolol Tartrate for 2.5 years now. 25 mg. twice daily. It seems to work fine, as my blood pressure is consistently around 116 over 64, and my heart rate is 54 BPM at last check-up two months ago. Before my heart attack, it was around 150 over 80, so a vast improvement there. I also am on a low dose (10 mg. daily) of Lisinopril, so that may help as well.

The only side effect I am experiencing is severe exhaustion following a 10-hour shift at work. Age 57."


"With nexplanon it stopped the cramps. Been good for the most part except I get upset more easy and frequent. I have always had depression but somehow it makes it come out more. Throughout the years having it. (I get mine taken out in Novemeber (3year mark.)) It was very hard to know or track when I would get my period. I'll get it twice a month, sometimes I would have my period for 2-3 weeks have a week off and back on it. It does wonderful to prevent pregnancy but it's screwy. This is my last year on it. The 1st 2 years, I really didn't gain weight. But now it feels like I can't stop. I didn't change my diet. The weight gain with acne & not knowing when I'd get my period. I would love to know when I would get my period and not gain weight."


"The side effect that made me stop it was severe reflux.  I would wake up from a dead sleep basically vomiting in my mouth and nearly choking on it.  This happened nightly for weeks and I just couldn't tolerate it anymore.  It does help a great deal with relaxing the muscles (and for pain).  I also get insomnia from this while most people get drowsy."


"Caused drowsiness and mental sluggishness. "


"This medication has been so effective for me! It honestly worked wonders for my skin, though I do deal with dermatillomania. I haven't noticed any side effects and I highly recommend this for moderate acne."


"Hi ive been on prozac 60mg for 10years the drug is miraculous it got me out of a hole, but as i suffer from ocd i decided to self medicate with drink and drugs also that led me me to a 12 step fellowship! Now 7half years without a drink or drug im self medicating on prozac which is not v good! It got to last friday i had taken probly 4 tablets in 2 weeks and just crashed! Im now back on 60mg a day but having bouts of anxiety again and thinking its not real, im hoping this is just the side affects of the prozac again getting in system, im tired headache and anxiety thinking"


"I had a good experience with Skyla, virtually no pain on insertion, like I didn't even feel it, although I had it put in 6 weeks after giving birth. Also, my provider numbed me, I wonder if some of the people who experienced such high levels of pain weren't numbed? I had the mirena prior to having my daughter and that was terrible, worst pain ever, took them two tries to get it in and then they couldn't get it out, had to do an ultrasound, anyway it was absolutely awful, plus they did not numb me at all nor did they inform me at that time mirena was not recommended for woman who hadn't already given birth. Cramped with mirena for weeks but only experienced slight cramping with skyla and overall feel like it has had less side effects."


"WOW!!  I feel as this is almost a cure.  I have never felt better and I can't believe this is not a household name.  Spread the word to every diabetic you know.....they will thank you."


"Restless legs syndrome is a hard problem to deal with. Mirapex seems like a God send. But like most things it comes with a cost.  First was the dollar cost which over the last 6 years has gone up considerably.  The next price you pay is from side effects.  Falling asleep while talking to someone is embarrassing and dangerous. But I've found a wonderful fix.  While at the doctors I had to use a Doctor's Assistant (who was playing on her cell phone while talking to me). She gave me a prescription for Mirapex that is time released and you only take it at night just before bed time. My energy level has increased 10x and I don't fall asleep while dinning out with my wife. Blessed by Doctor%u2019s Assistant and her playing on the cell phone actually was searching on the intranet for something to help with the problem."


"Fast acting with no spikes after dinner. Easy to use. This should effect my A1C. I can't wait to see the numbers."


"I give Lutera 5 stars because it effectively did half its job: birth control. I was on it for seven months and never got pregnant, nor did I have any scares. The other half of it was horrible for me: it gave me AWFUL anxiety. I had panic attacks, to the point where I couldn't see straight or feel my legs. All this coming from a person who has never had an anxious bone in her body until I started this pill. I was crazy emotional, and nearly ruined my relationship. I would cry over every little thing. All of that on top of the minor little annoyances like nausea, pimples, hot flashes, etc. All of my symptoms would come and go (except for the anxiety). Each month was different. Everyone is different, but that was my experience."


"Has worked wonders ever since starting!"


"Sanofi advertises a savings card to get it for $15 for 1 year. Unfortunately this is not true and they may give it to you for that amount for 1 or 2 months them much much more $. Basically false advertising but nothing you can do about it except avoid them from the beginning."


"I was diagnosed with a viral load of 200000 and CD4 court of 12. I was the walking dead in my opinion with pcp pneumonia. Laying in the bed fighting for my life, 21 days later I was able to walk out the Hospital, weak however still I walked out. I started Taking Genvoya  about 5 weeks ago and my viral load has dropped to 100k and CD4 round 225. I haven't had any of the common side effects. No headaches.. No nausea... No IBS ( not sure if thats one of the side effects or not) I'm rating Genvoya a 10. Its the New Kid on the Block with very positive results and low side effects. I hope this helps"


"I have been on Fluoxetine (Generic for Sarafem) for exactly 2 years.  This medication changed my life.  I was hesitant to take it (or any medication like it) because I thought I was going to feel numb to my feelings/emotions and be a completely different person.  I have been suffering from depression & PPMD for as long as I can remember.  My doctor never picked up on it and I never realized how much it was affecting my life.  I was moody, irritable, had no patience.  I would cry for no reason, have panic attacks for no reason.  I would wake up in the morning with that empty/dreadful feeling.  Everyday was a struggle.  Some days were much worse than others.  I feel SO much better now.  I really wish I started taking this sooner."


"I was on Actos for nine months.  At first it controlled my blood sugar well, but then I started to have blood sugar lows in the 40s, gained 28 pounds eating 1200 calories a day, swelling of feet and lower legs, and finally short term memory loss.  Got a second opinion on the drug.  Stopped it and all symptoms ceased within one week.  I have lost 12 of the 28 pounds.  I have lost 50 before this drug.  I am now on glipizide and metformin.  My blood sugar is a little higher but I feel so much better.  I took a difficult college class and got an A, so I know my brain is functioning better.  "


"I am 22 years old and have had implanon inserted twice. By my 23rd birthday in September, I will be due for the 3rd insert. I first got implanon when I was 16 after failing with the patch and the shot. I spotted for about 2 weeks when I first had it inserted and then I didn't have a period for about a year and returned to normal. The second insert caused me to spot for a few days, and after that I've had light, sporadic periods. I haven't had any unusual weight gain. I met my ex boyfriend right before my 18th birthday and were together until I was 21, having unprotected sex all the time. When we broke up, he ended up impregnating another woman so the birth control worked. I plan to keep getting implanon inserted until I'm ready for a family"


"Tramadol worked at first for awhile...But not now, I'm ready to ask for something new because I am tired of being in bed rest."


"I have been taking this medication for about 2 months. I started on 20mg and moved to 40mg within 3 weeks. I haven't felt this good in more than 20 years. Took a few weeks for the side effects to go away. Dry mouth and yawning were the worst of it."


"Vyvanse has helped me immensely as my focus is much better and I have had no ill effects whatsoever. The loss of appetite effect has been very welcome with growing older (I am 46). I have struggled with a sedentary lifestyle and my weight kept increasing. Since taking Vyvanse I have lost 50lbs and that has helped my sleep apnea to the point that I feel much better in the morning and I am not at the same weight I was when I got married 17 years ago. I am 200 lbs 6'1" and have worked up from the initial 10Mg dosage to the max now at 70Mg. I have been on Vyvanse for about a year and a half."


"A costly and largely ineffective drug. Beware discount cards that refuse to honor their promises for low co-pay and further discounts. After having one 3 month shot priced at $2,500 and feeling little to no relief from a reoccurrence of Endometriosis I ended up getting a full hysterectomy anyway."


"I’ve been on chateal for almost 6 months and I love it so far, it cleared up my acne so now I can go out without makeup, I didn’t really gain weight but I haven’t been losing but it’s okay, my periods are exactly 28 days apart, my periods are light and cramps are like non existent, and best part I’m not pregnant! The only thing I do agree on my sex drive isn’t like before tho lol"


"My birthday in May '15 I was 486, it's Oct '15 and I'm 403. I still  have a long way to go but I credit Contrave for helping get started on my journey. In addition to taking contrave I took Metformin (even though I'm none diabetic). Between the two I was able to get my life under control. I changed my diet and exercise. At times I come off of Contrave to detox my system, the retake it so that the effect is at it's maximum as the body tend to adjust to medicines over time. If you're reading this I hope it helps you as it has helped me."


"I recently got braces, the pain quickly started and lasted long. Luckily, I took Advil and the pain has subsided."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Third colonoscopy but the first using Suprep.  Read a few reviews to inform myself and decided to use ideas of getting the 6 oz bottles really cold before mixing and drinking.  Took a half hour to kick in and since this process isn't easy for me to handle with carpet on floors, etc. I"ve been sitting for almost two hours now.  Things happen quickly and mentally I feel better in my bathroom rather than worrying about cleaning everything up.  The taste wasn't that bad; drank it through a straw as suggested by someone and drank the other two 16 oz already.  Second round is at 1:30 a.m. for a 6:30 appointment in the morning.  Hope I can get some sleep in between somehow."


"I must take numerous puffs in order to get any relief from ProAir."


"I love this birth control. I have been on it for four years and I have not experienced any side effects at all. I think that the woman that experienced weight gain were just eating too much and blaming it on the pill, I actually lost from weight ( but I have been trying to by working out more) . My favorite thing about this pill is it is tiny and easy to take"


"Effexor is risky. The years that I took Effexor were fantastic, but the withdrawal symptoms are just as bad as everyone says. In fact, after about three years Effexor stopped working for me out of the blue. There was no controlled withdrawal. My symptoms were the "brain zaps" or an "electric shock" feeling in my head. My mind felt like a skipping record. I was severely depressed and cried all the time. That said, I am now starting to take it again after taking Prozac for several years. Prozac doesn't make me feel as good as Effexor did, so I'm taking it again. Hopefully I'll have another few good years on it before I have to push through withdrawal."


"Works like charm for me, barely a side effect."


"I felt great on the tablets - alert, motivated, calm and centred from day 1. On day 4 when I went up to the double dose (2 tablets per day) I did experience quite bad nausea and tummy ache initially after taking a tablet but found I could get the same effect from taking just one tablet a day and making sure I had eaten first to stop the nausea. By day 8 I couldn't really be bothered to smoke any more and had given up completely by day 11. That was 5 months ago and I haven't touched a ciggie since. I did the 3 months on champix and miss how good they made me feel but have to say while I still miss smoking and enjoy the smell of other's cigarettes.  I have no desire to smoke. I will say though that I occasionally vape. I smoked for 30 yrs."


"As someone who gets sick looking at water and rides that go around and around this patch was a great for my 1st cruise. The boat swayed and I felt nothing. 36 hours after the patch was removed, after using it for 8 days, switching out a new one after 4 days, I feel horrid. My nausea is constant and I am on day 3 of the patch being removed, I am also suffering from severe exhaustion. I had blurred vision, but that was much better to deal with than motion sickness. Will I use it again....not sure. I have not thrown up and I don't have severe headaches so maybe the end justifies the means."


"I have had no side effects from this medication! And after reading these reviews, I'm so glad! Phew! I was prescribed 500 mg twice a day for seven days to treat BV. The pill does taste awful and you do taste hours after taking it...I did experience dark urine but I didn't put two in two together until just now. (Just thought I was dehydrated) Overall, cleared up the problem and I'm just happy to have taken my last pill!"


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"I finally got rid of H Pylori after completing Pylera in Dec 2015. This was after 2 courses of other antibiotics combo that failed to eradicate it. Before taking Pylera, I had read other reviews that were scary. I promised myself I would come back and review for others in similar situation. Please make sure you take a really good probiotic(taken at different time) and ask for an anti-nausea medication to offset/lessen the side effects; it will make taking Pylera much more doable."


"Breast cancer left side and radiation damage.  My left arm is in constant pain.  I work long hours so don't want to make any pain meds during work but want something to help me sleep through the night - pain relieve.  The OTC meds is tearing my stomach and cause uncontrol bowel movement.  Would this help with pain so I can rest?  It's been over 16 months and I have not had more than 6 hour sleep.  I also want to make sure this is not habit forming"


"I choose Nexplanon because of my busy college & work schedule, however I seriously regret it. I have never seen so many break-outs on my face! My hair has also gotten just different than normal- very greasy at times & dry at other times. I'm also having an extremely hard time maintaining my weight. The one thing that really made me want it out is that my boyfriend noticed I've gotten super moody! I seriously cry at everything! I am going to have it removed ASAP, I'm going back to the pill which I have been on for the past 3 years."


"Ever had salmonella? Want to experience the symptoms on your own? Try this stuff! Seriously though, I took it around 9 pm and woke up around 3 am with severe abdominal cramping. I became extremely nauseous but decided to try and sleep it off. At 6 am I awoke and ran to the bathroom where my bowels made sounds that can only be described as something from the depths of hell. I had extreme diarrhea which lasted for fifteen minutes and the abdominal cramps continued throughout. The extreme emptying of my bowels due to diarrhea has continued, along with the cramping. I've only ever experienced this pain and diarrhea once before, when I had salmonella. I'm giving this a 5 on the rating scale because technically it does the job."


"My back and hip pain started back in 2001. I seen soo many doctors for it and was told I was too fat so I dropped 100lbs and the pain got worse. Then I was told I was pill seeking. Told that doctor if a fricken Midol took away the pain I would take that! Finally after 10 years of pain my gastroenterologist tested me for AS and it came back positive. I was diagnosed with Colitis back in 96 so I'm not sure why they didn't put two and two together and as a result since I went untreated for a decade my spine and hips are really messed up. I was on Enbrel which was amazing. Just switched to humira. Praying it kicks in soon!!! Tired of the pain!!!"


"I am using this in my FET cycle for IVF.  I am 4 weeks, 4 days pregnant.  I was taking 2 vaginal inserts (100mg) each per day but after blood tests came back showing a very low Progesterone level, my Dr is having me take an additional 600 mg per day in pill form (200 mg, 3x per day).  My Dr warned me that I would be very tired and possibly dizzy.  I have been on the pills for 3 days now and have noticed that my breast are very tender and swollen which they weren't before and it does make me a little drowsy but not bad, It's manageable. I go back on Tuesday to check my levels."


"I'm on the fence with Trintellix.  I had been taking Zoloft for about a year and a half with no problems, except I started to lose all emotions...not happy, not sad.  No motivation.  My doctor suggested Trintellix, so I switched and have been on 10 mg for about 3 months.  I feel nauseous every time I take it, but it's tolerable and just passes.  However, yesterday, about 30 min after taking it, eating and having some coffee, I had to run to the bathroom to vomit, like a lot.  Today, I also feel even more nauseous.  I'm surprised after 3 months that it is still just as bad, if not worse.  However, from a mood perspective, I feel SO much better.  Not sure if lowering the dose would help or what, but any suggestions would be helpful :)"


"First 6 weeks was on 0.5 had a little cramping, headaches, mild reflux, nausea, this usually happens on the 2nd day after the injection. My blood sugars were so excellent, that my insulin pump would have low readings at night, my appetite was no longer and I was losing weight. Then on the 7week the dosage went up to 1.5 well, let's just say I ended up in the ER. My cramping was horrible didn't get any sleep because I was projectile vomiting, diarrhea, heart burn, muscle tightening and severe headaches, I became extremely dehydrated. So for 3 days I was a mess. But in all my sugars stayed regulated and would only recommend staying on the 0.5. I don't know what my a1c is yet but blood sugar numbers are excellent. side effects not worth it."


"I had lower back surgery several years ago. I ended up getting scar tissue build up within my spine which has caused on going back and leg pain. I've tried all the "normal" methods of relief.....TENS unit, back injections, nerve burn, physical therapy, etc. Nothing seemed to work except narcotic pain medicines. I was taking 10/325 Norco pills for pain management but I'm not a big pill type person so when I asked my PCP if there was anything else she suggested the Butrans patch. Tried 5mcg patch but wasn't very effective. Stepped up to the 10mcg patch and all is good now. I rarely need to take a Norco (maybe 2-3 a week for break through pain) but overall this patch has been VERY helpful. It does not make me feel high."


"I was struggling depression for 19 years. I always held everything in and never told anyone, so I've tried to hurt myself a couple times. Finally 4 weeks ago I admitted myself to a hospital and they sent me to a mental health place where I stayed for 2 weeks and was put on Celexa. I was scared to get on but knew I had to do something and I am so glade I did. I feel like a whole new person without the stress and wondering where my life's going. Thank you Celexa. Now hopefully I can get insurance and stay on it."


"Made my depression and anxiety worse, which I wasn't expecting as this drug seems so well tolerated by others.  My maximum dose was 50mg bd (50mg twice daily).
I just wanted to make people aware that this can happen.
On the plus side, it did get rid of my visual migraines."


"Have periodic leg and foot pain due to being on them for 10+ a day.  It works well but takes about 2 hours to kick in.  Have used Lortab but feel crappy the next day"


"I am 54 years old and have been on Bystolic since February 2009 due to high blood pressure.  Started out at 10 mg for 3 weeks, dropped to 5 mg for 3 months and now at 2.5 mg.  MD added 2.5 mg Norvasc as blood pressure started to rise slightly.  Blood pressure now is 115/75 and heart rate 60-65 bpm.  Feel great but cannot drop any weight with limited exercise (5'6" - 165 lbs).  This drug has worked well for me."


"Not the medication I was looking for. First two weeks it eased me off my depression. Then all the side effects came into play. Extreme anxiety, sweating, and feeling out of it and high all the time. Forgetting to take it was like hell and made me physically sick and agitated. Would not recommend if celexa or prozac worked for you at one point. Made me feel like a zombie and hard to get anything done. Felt a lot of fatigue as well. Overall horrible experience with a big price attached to it."


"I just got the kyleena this Monday it was 9/18/17 and so far it has been horrible I am very crampy in the morning time but not bleeding I am also sick which is not good not too sure if I should call the doctor or not about this because I am not bleeding but very crampy in the morning. The cramps are so intense I can barely sit down or even lay down it's that bad I have to stand up the whole time I just hope the cramps go away. When they put the kyleena in me it hurt at first and then I started to cramp I laid down for a couple mins and then I was fine but ever since then I've been getting cramps in the morning around 11-2 it's horrible I rate it a 5 because how horrible it is for me right now but I hope it gets better."


"PLEASE DONT GET THIS IMPLANT!!! I got it because I’m a very forgetful person and I figured it’d be much easier and less maintenance than the pill. Boy was I wrong. Although I didn’t gain weight or break out, I was constantly cramping and PMSing. I had my period for 9 months. I would have a period that would last anywhere from a month to a month and a half and then about 3 days of no bleeding but a yeast infection. Those 9 months were hell and they took a serious toll on my long term relationship. I was bleeding heavily to the point where I was clotting and I couldn’t tell if I was spotting or if it was my period. I’m now on Junel but still have the implant in my arm. Please don’t make my mistake. Don’t get this implant."


"So I had tried the pill in college which left me 30lbs heavier, fast forward 4 years and I find myself trying to pick out a birth control that wouldn't cause such a dramatic weight gain. I tried Nuva per my OBGYN's suggestion. I really like how easy it is to use. I never had a problem inserting or removing along with no problems during intercourse. My periods were also lighter. Nuva really worked with my schedule.The downfall is that my face broke out with cystic acne (which is extremely painful). My breasts hurt 24/7. I have no sex drive. I constantly feel like I have a UTI or something. My appetite is up and down sometimes I feel sick for no reason. Also I get 1-2 headaches a day since starting nuva."


"Taken this for 30 days and no difference with stiff hands. ALEVE did a better job. Back to the Doctor I guess."


"This helps with fibromyalgia pain, but I really need to take it 4 times a day as prescribed or still have pain. I still feel the pain, but it doesn't bother me that much."


"The drug lowered my blood pressure after first dose  so I was not able to continue"


"This is the WORST BIRTH CONTROL I have ever taken!! I've been on this for 5 days and have been crying every hour, angry, and acting  pyschotic. My depression and anxiety is through the roof and I'm not eating. I picked up a different birth control from my doctor today and  hopefully these horrible side effects from Junel go away ASAP. AVOID THIS PILL."


"I started this for my moderate anxiety and the side effects were so terrible I had to stop. Felt like my head wasn't attached to my body, really dizzy and therefore nauseous too. I took it with food and within 15 minutes every time I feel like this. Made me vomit the first time because I was so dizzy.  I'm going back tomorrow and refuse to take it anymore. I couldn't feel any positive effects because I was too busy trying to stand straight"


"I am 71 and my mom died at 91 after a long decline into total dementia, though not Alzheimer's.  When she was given Exelon, she became quite difficult and insulting, so we took her off.  I was experiencing initial stages of decline at the time and so I tried her remaining patches for 10 days, at 4mg strength.  I immediately felt an improvement in clarity and motivation, but I am under heavy blood pressure medicines and so still did not have the ability to do all I wanted.  After 10 days I stopped the patches and quickly went back to my somewhat confused and listless situation.  Three months later I got a prescription and began using the patches again with the significant improvement.  But a 9.5 dose makes me aggressive.  Problem is the price."


"I've suffered with a constant severe headache for months. The medication didn't do much at 25mg or 50mg for me. I just went to 75mg recently. I see a little bit of improvement in the severity of my headache.  I also found that I have more energy in the day. It hasn't done much yet, but once I get to 100mg I'm hoping it will help some more. fingers crossed.."


"I LOVE LOVE LOVE this pill already. I've been only taking it for 8 days and already I lost 9 lbs. I weighed 188 lbs and now I'm 179 since I've started taking it. It helps curb your appetite. I have to remember to eat honestly. I do have blurry vision and dry mouth and tons of energy. I'm not constipated like most because I take vitamin C I guess. I love the results and will continue to use it. I'm 5'1'' and my goal weight is 130lbs. I will keep y'all updated :)"


"This medication is very useful and helpful in my opinion for depression but on the other hand it does not work nearly as well for anxiety. Would recommend for someone with depression but not for someone with anxiety."


"I am so grateful for Accutane. It saved me years of suffering and scars like my brother has."


"I have gastroperesis and rarely have a bowel movement on my own. I've gone 3 weeks easily without a bowel movement. It's to the point that when I do go on my own, we know that I am severely constipated and that it HAS to come out. (Abdominal xrays continuously show I'm backed up, even after going). Miralax is not a "miracle medicine" for me. It works, but only after a few days time. However, considering that typical laxatives only cause me gas and bloating, but no relief, I can't really complain. Magnesium citrate, Linzess, Reglan, Amitiza have all failed me. This is the only relief that I can ever get."


"Before Mononessa I tried 4 different birth controls (can't remember the names) but all of them gave me bleeding constantly, it was horrible.  Finally I tried Mononessa. It's helped so much, my periods are much lighter, no more acne, and I didn't experience any weight gain like the other reviews I have read.  Also it is a lot cheaper. This pill is the one I've been needing."


"Was prescribed aczone to use once my skin was already mostly cleared by dermatologist. It made me break out all over in tiny little bumps. It was terrible and took months to get rid of."


"Worth every penny!"


"I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and degenerative disc disease and this pill has worked amazingly for the pain. Just 5mg helped great and I had my life back till my doctor took me off of it. I had no side effects and it worked wonders, also Lortab and Lorcet has worked great. "


"I was 350# Jan 2016 my A1C was 7.7 my liver enzymes 176- it was lose weight or else. I gave up all forms of sweets started eating better much less portions. As of Nov 5 2016 I have lost 94# and 14 inches, my A1C 5.5, liver enzymes 24 very happy and still losing. Remember diets begin and end so don't diet instead  make a lifestyle change. It can be done if I can do it so can anyone."


"I could not afford the expensive sleeping prescriptions, and was afraid of getting addicted to them,  so I tried Sleep Aid Liquidcaps. I take one every night about 1 hour before bedtime and I sleep all night and get up in the morning feeling rested. Before, I was having trouble falling asleep and only getting about 3 hours sleep at night."


"I just had the Mirena IUD inserted yesterday. Even though it's been a short time I wanted to give some information that I found lacking on the internet to new users. Insertion was painful but bearable. I was crampy for about an hour afterwards but after about an hour the most unrelenting cramps started and I was in so much pain I was sweating and had palpitations. I took 800 mg ibuprofen before getting it inserted and took another 800 mg after and got no relief. I used a heating pad and also got no relief. Two doses of 50 mg tramadol later (roughly 8 hrs after getting it inserted) the cramps disappeared and I have only had very mild twinges a couple of times today. Don't worry that you'll be in pain forever; you won't! It passes quickly."


"Lost 16 pds. in 3 weeks. The only side effect was headache 1st week, now I'm good. I feel GREAT I only take it once a day. In the afternoon a feel Hungry but start eating and I feel full."


"This medication WILL put you to sleep. However, I had the adverse "Hangover effect." I took one pill at eight in the morning (I work nights), and could not pull myself out of bed until after 9pm. I may try again with just a half pill."


"So I started Phentermine a week ago and my goal for this diet is to loose 5 pounds per week.  This week has been successful!  I have vertigo and this medicine only makes me slightly dizzy sometimes, but not bad.  I am also taking Benadryl at night to sleep, because the insomnia is very real.  I am loving this medicine though, it works for me and so many others!"


"This medicine worked well while waiting for the infection from an abscessed tooth to subside in order for it to be extracted. (And anyone who's had an abscessed tooth knows what real pain is)."


"It's good I think I might need it again ?. ."


"I have been taking Norco for foot surgery and it has been working quite well for me.  I also have been reading other posts and found that this medicine works well for migraines too, I will have to try that."


"I have taken Risendronate for only 3 weeks and have severe bone pain in my hands. I cannot bear the pain. I also have burning sensation in my throat. I was given alendronate to start with and they also made me feel so ill. I won't be taking any more. I really don't know what to do as I don't want the injection or infusion."


"Awesome medication for severe allergies. I have been taking this medicine now for 2 years. My environmental allergies were just getting worse and worse. I have been to many allergist who kept giving me nose sprays and shots once a week. After one year of continual shots and not getting better my doctor prescribed Tussionex. Just imagine feeling like you have a bad cold all year around, coughing, sneezing and feeling miserable. Tussionex made me feel normal. I had forgotten what it was like not to cough, have a runny nose and feeling like I had the flu. With the Tussionex I felt so good since it stopped the cough, the runny nose and all the aches and pains in my neck and sinuses. THANK YOU for Tussionex!"


"Breakthrough bleeding all month for almost two years, extreme irritability, to the point that I came here to read others' moods when on this drug.  Also, the PMS symptoms last all month long.  I am only level headed when it's the week off. No sex drive, bloating, cramping, nausea, fatigue and really greasy hair. I am going to ask for a new pill. I tried to stay on this pill, but, it's bad in every way."


"I take Skelaxin for my Degenerated Disc Disease, it's helping with pain alot. Also, I'm losing weight because it suppresses my appetite so that's a plus."


"I started Phentermine HCL 37.5 in January 2016, 1/day.  I am 5'7" and weighed 200lbs. I am almost at the end of my 2nd month (3 days left) and now weigh 173lbs.  Weight loss to date is 27lbs. I am very happy with the results thus far.  My doc said he would only allow the use of Phentermine for 6 months at the most.  I have a check-up every month and have really put my mind to eating healthy foods and no pop or sweets (which were my culprits).  I drink water, but most flavored and never had high-blood pressure.  Only side-effect was insomnia for about a week in the beginning.  Will start incorporating exercise in month 3 because once you go off, the weight will come back if you haven't taken the time to change your diet and exercise habits."


"I find this medication to be very effective with relatively few side effects. Dry mouth being the most bothersome. However I can deal with dry mouth given the pain relief this medication provides"


"im 25yrs of age and have been on prescription benzodiazepines since the age of 16, mostly for panic attacks and GAD. I started on klonopin 0.5 BID and in the last nine years you could imagine the roller coaster ride it has been. Xanax 2mg po qid. Ativan 2mg po tid. valium 10mg po tid.(all at separate times) and the valium I was on 2 years up until 2 months ago. it started to quit working. I hated the Xanax and Ativan but the valium saved my life, it was a bitter sweet ending. and 2 months in now on klonopin 1mg qam. then 2mg qhs. miracle medicine!!!! highly recommend this medication for severe to chonic GAD, panic attacks, insomnia associated with stress and I could just go on and on. cant say enough about this medicine that gave hope!"


"A very pleasant experience, some strange sensations but they were expected.  Got the injection December 21, 2016 @ my Ortho's office.  Very happy.  Used a recumbent bike today at the gym the first time in 6 months without my unloader brace."


"I have been taking Sertraline for 11 days now for depression and I can honestly say I've never felt so low  in my life. I am having to stick with them as everyone says that it gets better. Really annoyed that these pills can be prescribed with no real warning from doctors as to how very very low they can make you feel."


"Was tested by my local health department and received a letter back saying I had abnormal pap with "precancerous cells", visited my normal gyno and come to find out I was infected with hpv on my cervix and also had developed a small patch of gws on the opening to my vagina and my perineum which just looked like small razor burn and didn't come up til after shaving. I was put on Aldara cream and I have only been through about 5 applications of the cream and my gws are already gone. It is very costly if your insurance doesn't work, and it does make you pretty dry and itchy, but I would recommend it to anyone fighting gws from hpv."


"I received the implant in December 2012 because I had problems remembering to take a pill everyday and my doctor thought it would be good for me since I did well on the shot at one point. The first 4-5 months were a little rough. I had my period for a few days, it would go away and suddenly be back 5 days later. I just never knew when it would hit but it was always at least fairly light and manageable. After that 4-5 months my period completely stopped. I did get it a couple time but I knew it was from stress I put on my body that caused it (new diet, suddenly working out, extremely stressful work week...). I love it. I just got a second one put in and am going through the adjustment once again but it's not nearly as bad as the first time."


"Claritin D 24 hour works well for sinus issues. However the side effects that I experienced supercedes the effectiveness  of the drug; decreased urinary stream, cloudy urine, straining to push out urine from bladder,  Insomnia, headache, increased heart rate. All symptoms lasted approx 24 hours. Inconvenient to purchase, have to show drivers license as I found out its the main ingredient is used to make  crystal meth."


"When I first went on Geodon, it was like a sigh of relief. The first day I slept all day, but the grogginess passed. I took 160 mg once daily (the 80 mg twice daily didn't work, as it made me groggy). I had slight headaches and akathesia, but it was tolerable, and my mood was greatly improved. No rage or mood swings or delusions. Unfortunately, I started getting depressed, and was bumped up to 240 mg. Big mistake. I became a total zombie. I barely laughed, I couldn't read, I had no emotions or interests. I lay in bed all the time. I lost 20 pounds and didn't have increased appetite, which was a plus, but I was so tired. This medicine is a good one, just be careful you aren't put on a high dose."


"On Depo for 19 months, began taking it after my second child. Had no period. Major mood swings, constant exhaustion and trouble sleeping.
No sex drive- after some research, I discovered why.. Depo is used as a CHEMICAL CASTRATION drug for sex offenders in multiple states.
-My Dr did not mention that I was drugging myself like a convicted sex offender, did yours?"


"I am on day 4 and had nausea and diarrhea on day one and two. Yesterday was better but today seems great hope it stays that way. Lost 3 lbs Waking numbers have improved but still aren't where they need to be."


"with this medication I am able to walk and have free movment of my arms that are worthless without it! this is a godsend best thing to happen to me!"


"When I started Sprintec, a couple of days later I started having side effects. I started being really short with my kids. Then I start going into panic mode every time they went anywhere, and they both are teenagers. And I had nothing to worry about. Then I started spotting, which I know that was going to happen from reading the reviews. So I didn't mind that. But the panic attacks got worse, my chest started hurting, then I started bleeding and clotting non-stop, headaches, lightheadness. My MD, finally told me to stop taking them. I was bleeding so bad I was homebound for weeks. And I'm still bleeding some. Went for having no period, to bleeding non-stop. Thank God I'm a nurse, or I would be in hospital."


"The medication itself works very well for nerve and anxiety, however, other people don't like me on it. I either am sleeping or nodding or just an ass. You can also black out on this med and do some seriously dumb potential hurt yourself. Be careful and take as little as you can get by with."


"after the war, I became dependent on opiates to relieve back and knee injuries i sustained overseas.  overtime my addiction grew into buying oxy and roxy and using 60-150mg/day.  my addiction took control of my life and i was using just to fight off the withdraws.  i went to the VA got put on suboxone.  it took care of the w/ds and I am happy to say I'm free from the demons that are opiates.  take that first step and realize you have a problem, when you are ready get this drug prescribed to you.  it helped me become the man i once was and i am grateful.  also, learn your triggers that lead you to use opiates and avoid them."


"I've had nexplanon for 10 months at first it was ok.  I had my period regularly but these past 5 months have been horrible, fatigue is my biggest concern on top of that side effects came in like sweating and no sex drive, huge mood swings, I can't wait to get it out! I guess it's not for everyone which sucks cuz it's really good at not getting you pregnant"


"Was on this med for about 30 years. This medication is supposed to only be a temporary fix for anger,paranoia etc.. I took it long term and have permanent damage  to my brain and nervous system! It is and old drug first used 1958!! There are so many other options out there now. Don't get started on this drug. You will become dependent on it and will not be able to stop taking it. When I take it I get really paranoid and have anxiety attacks. I can't sit still and pace all day. The worse thing about it is my mom remembers me taking it when I was 16 and it used to work good for me. Now I am 51 and don't need it anymore. I smoked some weed when I was 16 that was laced with PCP. The doctor said the PCP get's in your brain and could take decades"


"I was suffering for a week, with my 1st migraine attack. It was going on and on, for days, on the right side of my head. NOTHING helped. I took 400mg and 4 hours later took another 400mg and I did not need any Ambien to get to sleep. By morning, most of my pain was gone. I couldn't it. Now I am up and feel great. It's amazing, please ask your doctor to try this."


"This medicine helped my problem - 2 herniated discs and a pinched nerve, but it gave me really bad stomach ache had to stop it right away."


"I have been diagnosed with absence seizures for 6 years now, and have been taking Depakote ER.  I have been seizure-free for 4 years, but have had severe migraines on and off, usually more during times of intense stress.  My doctor prescribed me Tegretol to take as needed for them about a year ago, and it has always been 100% effective.  The only side effect is that it makes me very drowsy."


"As a first-time BC user, I feel Gildess is a good choice. Almost a year on it, no babies, and the only major issue is the few but annoying breakouts. Getting used to it was an emotional adventure but no major weight gain and my libido has even increased! I would take this pill over any non-combination pill and feel very lucky that starting with it was not too bad. Everyone's body is different but this is a good pill if it is a suitable match for you."


"I got my life back. This medicine has helped me so much. I feel like myself again. I no longer suffer from debilitating anxiety. I have more confidence and less fear.

I have absolutely NO side effects (not even sexual, which seems to be common)."


"I have had no side effects. Helps with cramps that were extremely painful- passing out painful before taking it, to barely noticeable on this pill. I recommend it to friends."


"30 Year Old Male. 5'7'' 180lbs.
Only had 4 small rocky BM's for the last 6 weeks. This was the *last resort* OTC fix before giving up and going to a doctor with no health insurance.
Drank an entire gallon of water throughout the morning, avoided all dairy, took 1 Dulcolax (5mg bisacodyl) at 2:30pm.
After reading so many of these reviews, I figured I'd have allthe side effects that evening, and was excited.
Around 11pm, still no change. I took a stool softener (100mg docusate sodium) to maybe get things moving faster? Farted twice, and went to bed.
Well it's now 10:30am the next day and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENED. I feel the same.
No stomach cramps or dying on the floor like you people said.  :(

Should I try again? Maybe try 2 pills this time?"


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


"Been taking Paxil 40mg since November 2007, works absolutely fine. Treated my major depression without any complications, did not affect my sex life, at first its hard to have an orgasm, but over time, its as fast as you want them. Medication however did cause some minor hair thinning and hair loss in my front head area, treating it with Minoxidil 2.5mg once a day. Otherwise medication works absolutely great for major depression mostly. Doctors have advised that its hard to get off this medication on your own, do not attempt to discontinue the medication on your own once you've been on it for a long period, consult with your doctor."


"I have been on Contrave since August, 2016.  To date I have lost 45 pounds and have not experienced negative side effects.  I am able to say no to second helpings and often decline completely foods that I would have readily consumed in excess a year ago. I follow my doctor's instruction to take this medication with a lean protein and I have found this to be  effective for tolerance of Contrave.  The two times I took Contrave on an empty stomach I felt nauseous, so I simply don't take it on an empty stomach.  For me this has helped me tremendously.  I can walk and run farther and faster and my blood pressure is stable for the first time in about 6 years."


"I tried using it, took two pills (Recommended dosage) and 20 minutes later, I'm tired. And it lasts for all of 30 minutes... can't fal asleep, then I'm wide awake again."


"I have herniated disc in my lower back L5, S1, arthritis starting in L3, L4 due to the disc, and pinched nerves from L5, S1. My pain specialist has put me on Percocet 10/325 to help with the pain. I have to say that it works great. Percocet is the only medicine that works well. I am also on morphine to help increase its effect. I would not be able to continue working without it. If they were to take it off the market I would not be able to work anymore. Thank you Percocet for all that you help me do, in my very active job of twisting and bending."


"I suffer from bladder seizures. My doctor put me on demerol in 1997. I take 100mg twice a day. I have tried other meds, such as Percocet, oxycodone but those gave me too many side effects. I'm allergic to codeine. Each month I see my doctor and get a new prescription. I just found out my pharmacy ( Medicine Shop) cannot get it in any size dosage anymore! I tried Walgreens, Walmart and CVS. No one carries it or is willing to try to get it. What's going on? My only alternative is 12-16 Advil a day, every day."


"Prescribed reglan at the ER for slow gastric emptying and nausea while pregnant. My third dose is when I had the side effects. Restlessness, agitation, and the feeling of crawling out of my skin. Side effects finally went away after 6 hours. It was awful and I will never take reglan again"


"I've been taking various doses of Xanax for about 24 years, more "on" than "off" but it has been a God send. I developed severe PTSD during military service which was exacerbated by multiple sexual assaults in civilian life, and later military duty. Without this medication I don't know how I would have been able to function all these years. If you take Xanax, DO NOT attempt to combine it with Prozac. I took it and ended up in ER having a status panic episode ("adrenaline storm") which I wouldn't wish on anybody. The Prozac was decreased and the Xanax increased. I haven't been able to successfully go back down to the previous low level dosage yet but we're hopeful. I got my life back the first day I took Xanax and have been doing well with it since."


"Working great for my anxiety. On 2mg for 3x a day that makes me too drowsy. I take 2 a day."


"My doctor put me on Xanax XR 2 mg and I have never felt better anxiety wise. I take it once a day in the morning and I am good for the entire day. Since going on Xanax XR, I have only had one panic attack and that was before my dose was increased from 1 mg to 2 mg of Xanax XR. I recommend this medication to anyone with severe anxiety and panic attacks. I am currently disabled from my anxiety. I am hoping with my new medication regimen and therapy that I will eventually be able to go to college and work again. I also take regular Xanax before bed-time if my anxiety is too severe since the Xanax XR lasts me about 12 hours and I take it in the morning. I'm also on Risperdal, Paxil CR, and Propranalol for anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, and PTSD."


"I've suffered with migraines for over twenty years. I'm now in my forties.  My migraines tend to be long episodes and hang on for about 72 hours. I tried all of the triptans and found that they dulled the pain but didn't quite get rid of the migraine and it would resurface again about 12 -15 hours later. Frova is the best I believe for those of us who have longer migraine episodes. I can take it and fully function within 30 minutes to an hour particularly if I take it on an empty stomach with hot tea. I sometimes have to take a second pill 24 hours later, but it takes care of the migraine. I absolutely love Frova; I do not get any bad side effects. I am a teacher and can take it and keep working with young noisy children I less!!"


"I was on Topamax 2x 50 mg worked perfect for 31 days, then the effect wore off, now I am on day 3, Dr. Increased dosage 100mg 2x per day, works perfect. I am cautious as I have been 6 months relapse free on 60 mg fluoxetine before the effects wore off. Will give an update. I have been on all other kinds of SSRIs or SNRIs, which had no effect. My history, I am 42 years old, I have treatment refractory Bulimia since 28 years, purging type. Start with AN with a simple diet, normal childhood, no trauma or abuse, two lengthy hospital stays in the 80s and 90s   5 years of CGJung psychoanalysis all to 0 avail. Learned a lot but have never been in recovery. I try anything to be better."


"I had developed occipital neuralgia as a result of Tourette's syndrome.  The pain in my neck was very severe so I went to a pain management clinic where I was treated with methadone, Lyrica (caused serious side reactions), injections of steroids and some other medications, and finally by radiofrequency ablation.  All this took three years and I was out of options.  I read that Cymbalta was good for neuropathic pain so I got a prescription and started taking it.  After about 6-7 weeks, I was pain free.  I found it hard to believe.  I later switched to Wellbutrin and remained pain free."


"Great bc you don't get pregnant, but not so great that you retain all weight gain.  No matter how much dieting or exercise, you keep your weight and you may gain some more. I also noticed some thinning of my hair. I've had it in for almost 2yrs. The spotting stops after the first few months and the last few months I've been spotting/period free all together.  Sex drive is totally down too- never in the mood.  But if you can handle these side effects, not having to take the pill or deal with other forms of birth control -this is the easiest and best method for me!"


"I started taking adderral when I was first said to have ADHD in 6th grade it helped a lot with school but I was always serious and in a bad mood after school plus I didn't want to eat at all. Once I took focalin I noticed that it helped me in the same way just less side affects. I am 18 now and I use it once or twice a week to keep me motivated to get work done and it works miracles. I am twice as productive now even off focalin. I highly recommend to have a hearty meal when you take it and some sweets about 4 or 5 hours after it helps with the appetite loss side effect. I also figured out what I would eat while I'm on focalin. Ex. mac n cheese, fruit smoothies, taco bell."


"I just stated a .35 mg dose today to treat ovarian cysts related to endometriosis. Awful! I took it with toast and two hours later felt tingling in my face, was itchy, disoriented, had a headache, a sore throat, felt anxious and dizzy. After reading other reviews it seems like this crap disaster pill only worked for one woman ever. Never take it. I'm 38 and otherwise very healthy. Drugs. No thank you."


"I was put on this medication as an alternative to ativan (OTC, melatonin, and Valerian root failed). I didn't realize initially that it was an antidepressant since my doctor said it was a sleeping pill. I'm also on Lexapro and Welbutrin and I'm very sensitive to antidepressants. I was started at 50 mg, which did nothing. 100 mg next for about a week which left me feeling awful in the mornings. She then increased it to 200mg and it was an awful experience. I took it at 8pm and fell asleep around 2am. I woke up at 7am for work feeling awful. I sat through two meetings feeling dazed, dizzy, nauseated and out of it. All that evening and the next day I had flu-like symptoms and couldn't stand without feeling like I would faint. Overall, horrible"


"I was on Humira for maybe 6 months. It was amazing how my psoriasis was disappearing before my eyes. A couple months in I began to become unstable when standing. I used handrails and the kids as a crutch. Eventually that wasn't enough I needed my husband and soon after a Cain. I had to teach myself how to walk again with physical therapy it took 30 minutes just to walk three houses down and back. I went back to the Dr who said in rare cases it can cause MS like symptoms and I was very saddened to be removed from this medicine. Within weeks I was back to normal. But here's the kicker I had plaque psoriasis on about 30 percent of my body when I started Humira. 2 yrs later I am covered in about 90 percent n it has this since age 11! SAD!!"


"I had a FESS due to massive polyp growth which completely blocked my nasal passages - so I couldn't breath through the nose anymore. After the surgery I started taking Avamys (=Veramyst for Europe) for 6 months to prevent nasal polyp growing. First of all I have to say that I felt great relief. My nose never hurt, and I had no congestion or any other sinus problems. However after taking the spray for 3 consecutive months I felt that my nose got dry and
I noticed some blood in my nasal secretion. In addition my eyes felt more sensitive and I felt more tired than usual but I have no clue if the last two effects were Avamys side effects.

Avamys gave me relief in allergic rhinitis as well even though it didn't completely stop the symptoms."


"Well I began the regular rx of Pristique as samples, seemed to work great, went to fill the rx and insurance wouldn't covered it. So I guess venlafaxine is generic for this, however it is not at all like Pristque. For a week and a half I had horrible I mean horrible nausea & vomiting.... I tried to stick it out but I couldn't. In addition I also had chronic heat sweats/feeling flushed & dozzy, diarrhea, and bad headaches! Wait lets not forget, the libido was there, but all sensativity etc was gone out the window and ran down the street! This stuff was brutal & I was miserable, I couldn't wait for the Doc to say I could quit.... I just quit cold turkey cause anything would be better than that. Definitely not a fan of these meds!"


"Let me start by saying that food has been a central part of my entire life. I'm a 69 yr old male who weighed 309 lbs when I started taking Qysmia in early February. I now weigh 288lbs. I've lost both my interest in eating and cooking. I've finally begun to eat, to live and not live to eat. This medicine may very well save my life."


"I'm always afraid to try new medication. When I got the courage to take Lisinopril I was shocked at the very few side effects I had. I did experience pretty terrible migraines for a few days after starting but that was it.

Although if I miss a dose I do feel malaise as if I'm coming down with the flu and my body feels hot. I've taken it with and without food and had zero stomach upset."


"I was given Levaquin for a persistent sinus infection. By the time I saw the doctor it was almost two months of sinus problems that were just getting worse. I was put on a 14 day regimen. For me, Levaquin worked. It took about 8 days for the sinus pain to start going away, and another 7-8 days for complete clear up of the infection (no runny nose, no sinus pain around the eyes, etc.). I heard some people have much quicker turn-around times for getting better, but at least it worked. I had no side-effects at all, not even upset stomach, like I get with other antibiotics."


"Been on and off Ritalin for yrs.  The reg. version works well for me, but its effect was gone in under 3 hrs.  The extended release was useless - I metabolize it too quickly and was ODing on it after about an hr.   When I was working, it was great not wasting time getting distracted by crap: no retracing my steps to remember what I was looking for; no wondering why I had the telephone in my hand - was I calling or answering, etc?  But I didn't like driving under Ritalin - I was used to having my attention all over the place and being able to see EVERYTHING that was going on around me:  traffic slowing 5 blocks up; a wingnut weaving thru lanes 2 blocks behind.  I only took it while working or when I needed to focus.  Same thing now."


"I was on Lexapro for about 2 years until  itstopped working. Prior to that,over the last 25 years was always on an antidepressant. You name it, I've tried it. What the antidepressants  did for me was just take away the severe irritability that I had, I was really at a low point when my doctor asked me to try Brintellix. I had no desire to do anything.  I felt no joy. I had been taking 40 mg.of Lexapro a day. Doc said I didn't have to wean off it.  He said I could just switch, starting the next day and I did. I Started on 5mg for the first 2 wks then increased to 10mg it's only been 4wks that I have been on it and my nausea has got better, I have a clarity in thinking that I didn't have before. I feel joy now. I am staying on it.  Also, no sexual problems on it. Got Hope!"


"Took lo loestrin fe for 2 weeks, and immediately had to discontinue. Started with spotting during the second week, developed anxiety attacks and unnecessary fears, back pain, lo libido. After I stopped, it took a week for me to return to being functional. It's been about 6 weeks since I have stopped the pill and haven't gotten a period, and every few weeks symptoms of anxiety and unnecessary fears come back."


"I tried this drug out a year ago. Very expensive and worked wonderful in controlling my cravings and appetite but then the side effects started. I had horrible headaches. This is not a symptom I could deal with so I had to give it up. Hopefully it won't cause headaches for many people, but if it does, I'm so sorry because they truly hurt."


"Worked very well controlling migraines and increasing sexual performance."


"Went to my eye doctor for my yearly bout of allergic conjunctivitis, happens as soon as the trees start pollinating. Got my first prescription for Pataday and was shocked at the cost, with insurance I paid $135.00!. I really wanted these drops to work! I suffer from red, burning and itcy eyes, mild morning upper eyelid swelling. These drops never burned, they also never worked! I saw zero improvement in my eyes appearance or feeling after 4 weeks of use, they look they look and feel the same. Pharmacist thought I might be allergic to Pataday and suggested I try OTC Zaditor next, much cheaper! Very Disappointed!"


"Okay, so hear me out. I take a 10mg fluoxetine "blue oval pill" once in a while (once every 2-4 months) from my dad and it relaxes my entire body. I'm a hockey goalie age 27 and just finished my last season of college hockey. ( I know I'm old for college sports haha) anyways; I swear to got these fluoxetine 10s work better than any pain reliever I've ever taken. I've had multiplied concussions / been knocked out Cold playing hockey since age 18. Do you think that has anything to do with the effect I get ? Every site I've seen says you need to take fluoxetine for weeks for any effect. I'll literally take 1 , 10mg pill and my body gets completely relaxed, my muscles / bones don't ache anymore and I sleep like a baby. And No this isn't placebo"


"I got the Synvisc One shot on my left knee 6/7/2016. I was nervous after reading some of these stories. I felt a little pressure and felt fine. I elevated and iced it for two days. Day 3 I was doing the "Happy Dance." My knee feels great!"


"I took plan b within 3 hours of an accident  that happened on October 11 2016. I had a 28 day cycle so I was ovulating but I wasn't sure. I waited everyday for my period and took a lot of early pregnancy tests.  I found out on October 28 that  i was pregnant. This pill doesn't work. In fact I'd get a copper IUD put in asap if this has happened.  I weigh 205 and 5-6.  i ended up with right side pain and went to the hospital for bleeding and fluid because I planned on getting an abortion pill. I was told they had to do a laproscopy and open up my uterus and take the  fellopian tube out. My doctor said that the pill is progrestrone only which can cause ectopic pregnancies. I could have died let alone never have kids Please don't take this."


"I have never been able to take any kind of antidepressant comfortably. I was put on Elavil to start, at 50mg after three months was raised to 100mg always taken at night of course. I was pretty depressed about several issues in my life, not the least of which was the fact my father was dying/died. I also take meds for anxiety/panic disorder, as well as pain, I was disabled before 1994, when I was hit by two cars; already disabled, this made the pain from fibromyalgia worse as well as messed up my spine and neck, etc. Now when I run out of the small amount of the anti-anxiety medicines, I don't have a meltdown like before. I do get sleepy, miss the tail end of movies I want to see, I have the dry mouth yes, however the trade off is worth it."


"My son is 9 and was diagnosed with a central auditory processing disorder. He is/was also showing symptoms of ADHD. In trouble in school, refusing to do his work, he was even switched to an emotional support classroom, and after all the tests, we found out that his brain couldn't process what he was hearing, which caused the ADHD like symptoms.  We were offered to try Focalin XR...started on 5 mg but just switched to 10mg because my son said it wasn't making much of a difference. He eats well, even on the medication, and has been coming home with almost perfect daily behavior charts at school. This medicine is definitely working out good for us. Side effects are very minimal. My son takes 1mg of melatonin at night for sleep."


"The stuff helps a bit. I started on 150mg which helps a bit. Then the doctor wanted to put me on the maximum dosage of 300mg per day which made me very nauseous - so I went back to the 150mg per day that (helps like 1 aspirin on a bad head ache). He as since prescribed 20mg (5mg 4 times per day) of Methadone that has totally stopped the pain for the most part. Every once in a while I get a bit of break through pain, but nothing like before. It has been a life saver regardless of the negative association attached to the name."


"I started depo last month of this year the first month was cool but this month got my period not to heavy but been bleeding for almost 2 weeks now don't think I'll get the second shot from what I'm seeing with the reviews thinking of the pill even though it's to late for me now"


"I had a rough childhood to sum things up quickly.  I was divorced and put myself through nursing school, remarried, bought a house and was very independent until I hit 30 y/o.  I started to slowly decompensate mentally.   My issues are Bipolar, Boarderline Personality Disorder, Anxiety, Grief-complicated, ADD, Diabetic and obesity. I tried counselling and all kinds of medications for 10 years.  My husband is very supportive.  Then my 20 y/o son committed suicide in the navy.  It didn't hit me until about 9 or 10 months and I became extremely manic and the grief took over.  I dissociated and overdosed on my Klonopin and started outpatient treatment.  Thats when I started the Fetzima.  It saved my life!  It took about a one and a half years to work through the grief but I could NOT have done it without the Fetzima.  It helped with anxiety and my deperession."


"This medicine works well for me as a sleep agent and also reduces the itching from mosquito bites.  However, I have to be careful when I take it because it seems to last for a couple of days. The "withdrawal" from it the next day includes increased pain."


"This medicine is a miracle. I was a heavy drinker for most of my teen years (liter a day or more of whatever I could get my hands on). Went through one of the best inpatient treatments where they gave me Librium.  Within minutes I was feeling like I was floating and loved it. Anything that took away the dreaded withdrawals was better than that feeling. It totally took away my depth perception but allowed me to finally eat, for the first time since my withdrawals kicked in.  I was clean and sober for about 10 months then relapsed. The pain and withdrawals were just as bad as they were before. I went and got prescribed this medicine and detoxed at home. I was up walking around and functioning normal mins after taking it."


"I have had horrible acne since the age of 11. I am almost 16 now and have been through two courses of accutane. During my second course of the medication I developed one of the rare side effects called pseudo tumor cerebri (build up of spinal fluid in the brain) which was only resolved with a spinal tap. Here I am 8 months later, and my acne has come back only on my temples and sides of my chin. I started using epiduo forte about 2 weeks ago, and my face looks SOOOO much better"


"Been insomniac for more than 26 yrs. Never nap. Sleep very light 4-5 hrs sleep after midnight 4 long time. Finally went to doctor. We started at 15 mg, did nothing then 30mg with nothing...then 60mg which worked about 3 hrs after taking but woke straight up at 2 a.m. so I take another 30mg and back to sleep rather quickly. Wake up around 6:20 am and am ready to go.  "


"Made me feel hot, diarrhea, fatigue, bloated."


"In hustler america for profit publicly traded "health" insurance companies manage all care. The doctor is simply window dressing. The for profit publicly traded "health" insurance companies and PBMs (pharmacy benefit mgmt orgs) deny every claim and deny needed medicine to generate billions in profit for rebates, etc...That's American "health" "care". A sad joke. Other than war and hustling--what exactly did America really stand for?"


"I was on Metformin when I was first diagnosed with type 2.  It had no effect on my A1C or my daily levels.  I tried it for 2 years.  I ended up with diarrhea all the time.  They tried switching me to metformin ER(SR) and that didn't help either.  I then was switched glyburide 5mg 2 times a day.  The first dose dropped my blood sugar into the 50's.  I called the Dr she switched it to 2.5mg twice a day.  my A1C is down to 5.6 my daily levels are back to normal.  Just because a drug is effective for one person it may not be for another.  Don't be afraid to ask questions."


"I was put on 150 mg daily of Effexor after having a mental breakdown brought on by stress and severe insomnia. I did not find the medication helped at all other then to cause weight gain. Worst of all, I experienced horrific withdrawal symptoms coming off it. I started to wean off it in May, reducing the dose to 75mg/day. I halved it to 37.5mg a month ago and my Dr said I would be good to stop it after two weeks. Within 24 hours of taking my last pill I experienced dizziness, nausea, insomnia, and brain zaps. I could barely function. Turns out the 'half-life' of Effexor is one of the shortest out there. I had to take a short 2 week course of 10 mg Prozac (much longer short life) to come off Effexor. Horrible!!"


"NuvaRing is awesome. I've been using NuvaRing since I was about 18 (Now 22). Before I used the Depo shot, but I had too many problems with that, so my friend told me to ask about NuvaRing. I tried it out for a couple of months and loved it. I don't feel it during sex, I feel completely normal, never experienced it slipping out, and no nasty spotting like the Depo shot. You only have to change it every month and it's not even hard to do so yourself. Just change it in the shower. I highly recommend NuvaRing, but then again, everyone's body is different. I suggest you still try it out though, you might love it too."


"I got Implanon in Oct 2010. Had very light spotting every two weeks and came like clockwork. I have not had a period since the beginning of January now. No moodiness, weight gain, depression, or decreased sex drive. But breasts have become extremely tender, and swollen in the last couple weeks."

"Due to silent GERD (that I didn't know I had), I could not take any anti inflammatory medicine. They would give me fairly serious breathing problems. However, when I found out what caused my breathing issues, I began taking 1 - 2 Gavison tablet 5 min after taking an anti inflammatory. I stopped  the breathing problem! I can now take anti inflammatories! It works by putting a foam cap on stomach acid so that the acid won't bubble up and irritate my lungs. A great product!"


"Evening,

I have been on this medication since I was 12 years of age.

Why do doctors or neurologists NOT tell you about Epilepsy?  About the Half Life of Phenytoin, about Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP)?  Those who have Epilepsy do not necessarily know or at all ANYTHING about that cause people in general think you are WEIRD.  SICK?"


"I just had my third colonoscopy in the past 12 years and propofol was the anesthesia of choice by my doctor.  No side effects whatsoever and felt great when regaining consciousness.  Walked right out with my daughter and spent the rest of the day and evening wide awake until 10 p.m.  Good stuff and I would definitely recommend it."


"I am taking Robaxin 750 3 times a day post surgery. I had a 360 Lower Spinal Fusion done. Since taking this medicine I have had severe memory loss and confusion. I also keep dropping just about everything I have in my hands. It has done a great job of decreasing my horrible muscle spasms, but I don't believe I can take it any longer. It makes me loopy and unable to function! I'm going to speak to my doctor today about either changing its dose amount or to a different muscle relaxer."


"This product works in a few days, is not visible on the skin and I found no side effects. I used it twice a day and the skin was clear in 3 days. I stopped using it then and was free of symptoms for several months. Once it started re-appearing I repeated the 3 day treatment. It comes in a 40 gram tube and lasts a long time. This was for facial treatment around the nose and above the eyebrows in the middle of the forehead."


"Hello Let me start off by saying that I have suffered from the nasty Beast we call Hyperhidrosis my entire life. I started using this medication July 15th and today on the 16th my sweating was reduced by at least 90% this is coming from a person who would have pit stains going down my sides and had too throw out shirts usually after a wear or two  after only 1 day I'm surprised it's working the way it is. I will post an update in a week and let you know how it's going but please if have this condition try it it is truly a life changer the stinging (a side effect) is a small price too pay based on the results."


"Prescribed to me for a stubborn UTI, after Bactrim didn't seem to work.
Took once a day for 10 days. Had no negative side effects, but didn't clear up my UTI either."


"I was on zoloft for about 3 months. It caused headaches especially as dosage was increased. Nearly impossible to sleep more than 5 hours. And caused hot flashes and racing thoughts at any dose over 100mg. It also increased my blood pressure. Started helping depression a bit after many helpless weeks but not enough to stay on it satisfactorily."


"Hi. I am from Canada.. I am diabetic for 40 tears ..on insulin... on tradjenta  5 mg for over 1 year I felt improvement.... no side effect.... my insulin is lower"


"I have Strep throat - this numbs effected area and soothes pain in throat. Works wonders but taste and smell is awful. OTC directions for use say use full strength, spray 3 times and swallow. Alternatively, gargle at full strength rinsing effected area for 15 seconds, then expel the remainder. repeat every 2 hours as necessary, to maximum of 8 times/ day. My personal experience I need 6 sprays then gargle and let sit on effected area for 30 seconds to have it last for 2 hours but I only do this 4 times a day. Have also used in the past for pain due to coughing and one spray lasts along time. Very good product because it works!"


"If you take this medicine, don't expect to be able to stay awake during the day for a while. It takes time to get used to. As far as how good it is at helping you get to sleep? 10/10, I can't imagine propofol would be more effective."


"Nexplanon is not for everybody, but those lucky of us enjoy it... Well trusted birth control.

Its cool how I get my period every other month and only for a couple of days. That kinda sucks thou irregular periods:/

have you ever noticed it mess with your emotional life/we snap unexpectedly.. Well evrybody does but  for some reason nexplanon causes anxiety and depression, but yet thts life.All birth controls have side effects but better being safe. I recommened IMPLANON +NEXPLANON"


"I've struggled with cold sores for about 25 years and this is the 1st product I've come across that actually keeps my sores under control. I use at 1st signs, and the sore is gone within a few days. I won't use anything else now."


"Took 10mg last night for the first time.  Felt drowsy after an hour.  Thought this was a good thing because I have trouble sleeping, but when I went to bed and started my usual worries, my heart started pounding in my throat and I felt like I couldn't breath deep enough.  It was a struggle to sleep all night and woke up from weird dreams at 3am and was WIDE awake.  It is now almost 11 and I feel like I am trembling internally.  I will not be continuing this medication.  I wonder if it is because it is a generic?  I have heard patients have more issue with generics."


"Took my first dose today and within an hour I was sicker than I have ever been.  Terrible headache, nausea, flushing of skin.  I have never had an issue with my blood pressure but an hour after the dose my blood pressure was 192/92.  Scared me to death.  Fortunately within the hour it was close to normal.  I ended up in bed all day because the symptoms I was experiencing were so heinous and lasted for over 7 hours.  I could not open my eyes due to the least bit of light was excruciating.  I have never experienced a migraine before.  Also, I had previously taken Wellbutrin (Zyban) to quit smoking 12 years ago and never had any side effects so I had very high hopes for Contrave.  Also, I am not on any other prescription meds."


"I've been on this birth control for over a year and overall I had a really positive experience with it. I didn't experience any mood swings, had little to mild acne around my period, never experienced any pregnancy scares, and had no nausea, headaches or weight gain. The only problem I experienced with it, and ultimately had to switch birth control because of it was the fact that I would throw up for hours whenever I consumed ANY amount of alcohol. To make sure it was the birth control, I stopped taking it and after 4 or so months I was able to drink again without any problems. Though I feel this is very rare situation, overall I believe this birth control was great."


"I have the greatest experience with this implant!  A dream came alive )))  don't have any side effects."


"I suffer from debilitating panic attacks. Just 10 mg of Paxil works wonders. I've tried almost every SSRI out there, but Paxil is the only one that works. Nothing else can touch my panic."


"I am 25 and I feel fat, it works for me. I am 370lbs, my joints hurt. I love it, I can't get off the couch without it."


"On for about 2 weeks, many side effects. Stopped using per Drs. orders."


"The first pill I tried had me in so much pain all throughout my body that my doctor switched me to this one. At first I thought it was great because I wasn't in pain, I never got sick, etc. but after only two months of taking it, I have zero sex drive. I literally cannot get turned on and I feel like a corpse. What's the point of taking birth control if I can't even have or enjoy sex? My periods also last way longer than normal, like a week and a half."


"My T-Level was 145 then just two weeks later 135. Then I started loosing bone mass and muscle tone.  My Doctor advised me to try Axiron.  Only on day two, lifting weights and walking has already become easier to do.  Sex drive as always been there.  Brain willing, body function not so good.  Will post again in two weeks to let you know how things are going.  So far though for two days I am happy with results."


"saxenda is amazing ! I have experienced no side effects at all. I started out at 137 lbs. 12 days later, I weigh 128.
couldn't be happier."


"I've had this since March of 2010 and at first it was great. I had a period maybe every other month sometimes they would last for a week or a little longer sometimes they would be shorter. Now after 2 years Ive been bleeding for about a month and it is heavy. No pregnancies but I feel like I am. I've had crazy mood swings, sometimes I'm super hungry and sometimes I can't eat and I feel like I'm always tired. Thinking about taking it out"


"The best medicine on the market for high blood pressure."


"It keeps awake and hungry"


"I've been severely depressed for 10 years inc 2 hospital stays. My psychiatrist is excellent and suggested brintillex After I've been on cymbalta for 2 years. Already so much less sleepy, more prone to complete tasks, not moping around all day and I have hope. Only one side effect is skin itching I can't seem to stop it! But other than that very happy. If you've given up on life, the future, any chance of recovery give it a try."


"My partner and I have been on zyban to quit smoking for about 14 days now and we've been smoke free for nearly 5 days! I'm amazed at how easy its been, I hardly even think about smoking. I thought I'd still have to put in a lot of effort to quit but one day I woke up and I just didn't want to smoke anymore! There's been a few hard times but really its been amazing. I have suffered from insomnia since starting zyban but I don't really care because I'm smoke free!"


"I had very few side effects with this medicine in the beginning, but it didn't provide enough relief on days when I had to be on my feet for a few hours a day. It didn't remove all inflammation so I was taken off and tried on methotrexate, a lot worse side effects and no relief at all. I had no vision changes with Plaquenil and I would much rather have some relief than none. I was able to function with minimum pain with Plaquenil."
