"Ok I went to this site because the pain I'm experiencing after using Monistat 3 day is absolutely unbearable! I am 40 years old and have used this product at least 20 plus times! I have never experienced this level of pain. This product needs to be recalled. They have definitely added something to the original medication! It usually hurts a little after it drips out but eventually the pain turns into a numbing feeling! I am never buying this product again. Also the Monistat 1 day didn't work at all that is why I tried the 3 day! These products need to be taken off the shelf and I want my money back! We can't all be crazy!!"


"After using Protonix for years I am finding that one chewable Pepcid in the morning and another at night is working great!"


"I was taking this for  ADD .right now I had to stop taking it the doc was giving me samples n I ran out waiting for my insurance co to give the ok . This med has changed my life. My thinking is very scattered like there's a radio on in my head. It's like the  rexulti shut the radio off I can think so clear. My thinking is not jumping around When I am on it.I look forward to things Not bored. Want to try new things.  Organizing comes so easy"


"I have type 2 BP along with many other things and I do say I love this RX. It helped me out for a very long time one of the first and few. However I did feel very dulled emotionally. I was on 140mg daily but any does lower did not work. I could not even cry unless something absolutely tragic (Ie. Death or someone I loved getting hurt) happened in my life. Also I hated having to take it with food. I constantly had an upset stomach as I could never seem to get eating and taking the med right. So all in all I took myself off from the med and the withdrawls from it were hell. For about two weeks I felt like I was dying. So as a conclusion; this med does work and work well if you like being a robot who vomits."


"Have had sinus infections, at least twice a year, for over 24 years, Starts out as coughing & phlegm but within two days you can feel the difference between a regular cold & an infection in the chest area.  That's when what you cough up turns from clear, light green to thick tan/beige.

Have had quite a few meds over the years, including Cleocin HCL 300 mg (this goes in a large Ocean Mist spray - works well). The doxycycline works the best but you MUST follow the directions.  One cap by mouth twice daily for ten days.  And TAKE WITH FOOD.  If you don't you will get the nausea & stomach upsets."


"Last year(2015) I was doing the 21 day fix and had gotten down to 155. I'm 5'4" so 135-140ish is my goal weight. I'm a full time student right now and with a child it's hard to cook super healthy meals all the time. Between spring and fall semester I had gained 25lbs. I was put on birth control for my PCOS in May. Since then I've gained another 18lbs. I just started taking this medicine and its amazing!! The energy I have helps me get thru my workout and the rest of my day. I'm an emotional/boredom eater and it's usually sweets so the fact that it curbs my cravings is awesome. I'm excited to see how I will look at the end of 6mo and hopefully I get get myself back on track with eating healthy"


"Used if for four weeks two years ago but was then scaremongered about its side effects by a hospital counsellor. Still couldn't control my drinking and has been getting to a seriously dangerous state so I started back on them last Saturday. Today is Day 6 and I have been to the pub for lunch and coffee and have not felt the need to drink although have felt cravings. Have had trouble sleeping and a few headaches but nothing too untoward. Hope to stay sober for a lot longer!"


"This stuff absolutely cranks. Wonderful! Take half or less of a 20mg tablet for 10 hours of powerful performance."


"I had the implant in for 7 months and took it out because of the side effects, I might as well have been pregnant with the way it made me feel. I was so hormonal and had constant headaches and I gained 27 lbs WITHOUT a diet change, I tried exercising more than normal and I continued to gain weight. I do not recommend it. I could feel a burning sensation all the way down my arm and up into my chest. There was just so much stuff happening that no one warned me about!"


"Works well, no side effects. But make sure you TAKE IT WITH FOOD!! I did not for one of my doses and ended up with stomach cramps and nausea"


"I took this pill for about a month. And in that month, I thought I was doing fine. No mood swings, nausea, headaches, not as much acne. But then my mom pulls me out of my room one day and tells me that I was gaining weight. I thought I had noticed it, but thought it was just because I was eating a lot. Being on this pill made me overly hungry all the time. "


"Good so far"


"It took care of my hot flushes right when I needed it.

It worked great for me"


"It makes me feel miserable, but congratulations to those whom Cymbalta is helping."


"My experience on Zarah was absolutely HORRIBLE. At first things were good. I never carried water weight and my periods lightened up. All of a sudden in these last couple months, my body has been going haywire on it. Everybody swears I could be pregnant, but I'm not. I have gained 20 lbs eventhough I watch my diet and stay active, my acne has not cleared up, I spot 2-3 times a week, crave spicy foods a lot, sweets make me nauseous, I stay with headaches and constant mood swings. My obgyn switched me back to Safyral because I was never bloated, and in fact lost all my excess weight. The only side effect I had was that my periods were a bit heavy the first 2 days. So my obgyn tried me on Zarah. Would much rather deal with heavy periods."


"I have taken it for 1 and 1/2 years for migraine. Also, after developing chronic lower back pain from degenerative discs it has really helped me cope with the pain."


"I started phen one week ago, after dieting and exercising for 11 weeks and only losing 10 pounds. I'm on 37.5 mg dose. I started phen  on May 14 at 179lbs. I'm down 5 pounds! I have exercised twice. I've have serious dry mouth, headaches for a week, but yesterday,  no headache.  Twice I've felt mild numbing in my face, and constipation. The following may be too much information - you are warned . I also started my period 4 days ago, experienced HEAVY bleeding, for the first 2 days, like having to change my pad every hour and a half because I bled through to my clothes. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the medication,  but it's not normal for me. But it's not bad enough to make me stop taking it!"


"So I got Skyla inserted today (4/7/17). I'm 24 yrs, 5'7", 120 lbs, been thin all my life, never had a child. I read so many reviews and got so scared about insertion. Day of insertion I was having major anxiety, so I took have of a Xanax bar (1mg). It helped SOOOOO much. The less tense you are for insertion the less painful it is. I would highly recommend asking your doctor for a prescription for anti anxiety medication, even if it's just one pill for the procedure. The procedure itself lasted at most 5 mins and the pain was less than a minute. It feels like a cramp but more pressure and pinch. Totally doable you will be fine! I'm hoping Skyla will help with my sex drive. Just worried about gaining weight or acne. I will update again soon."


"Whomever is reading my experience I just wanted to first off say that Plan B is absoultly phenomenal and worked 100% (in my case) I usually get my period on the 12-14th of the month, had unprotected sex on November 5 and 6, took the pill on the 7th and got my period around my usual time (November 14 on the dot). I experienced barely any side effects right after taking the pill, aside from a mild side effect (slight dizziness for less than 10 minutes) but aside from the dizziness, the point is that it worked! I was so relieved when I got my period. So dont you worry girl ! Dont stress this pill is great and works! Its not a scam, its not a lie and it doesnt claim false information about anything. Thankyou Plan B !"


"After taking Seroquel for 5 months at 25 mg, I recently upped it to 50 mg at night-time. This has resulted in me being able to drop my Ativian from 2 mg to 1 mg and still get a great sleep. I am much more productive, think clearly and feel positive. I feel like my personality is coming back. Coincidence? I think not."


"I have been taking Lyrica for about 1 year and I went from hurting all the time to just my occasional spells. I don't know what I would do without it."


"Was on this for 3 days and had very watery diarrhea for all of them. When I informed my doctor, she told me to immediately stop taking it because of the risk of it possibly killing all good bacteria in my gut, which would require other medications to treat. The drug also did very little to ease my other symptoms. I ended up taking z-pak instead and it worked well."


"does not have  the ability to reduce blood pressure  I am taking this medication   2 times a day morning and late afternoon Apo- praosin 1MG"


"Like many, I was frustrated with the medication options for type II Diabetes.  My doctor had me on Actos and Glipizide which I gained 70 pounds in one year!  I tried Byetta however was so sick on it, I couldn't continue.  I also was concerned about developed issues possibly due to Actos i.e.  shortness of breath and edema in legs.  This even concerned my doctor.  The weight gain was hurting me getting better and only made things worse and the most concerning part was my blood sugar was running around 200.  My third day on Victoza and my blood sugar is already in normal range!  Yes, 109! The first time in over 9 months.  I have not had any side effects and will hopefully lose weight."


"I have been taking this medicine for several months now, and I am very pleased with the results. I had been taking another medication that wasn't able to reduce my blood pressure as well as Diovan has, and it had more side effects."


"amazing only thing that worked on a stubborn toe nail fungus.  Within 2 weeks I noticed that a new healthy nail was emerging from the nail bed and the nasty one was growing out.  There is no more new accumulation of keratin under my nail, no more gross odour and no more pain!!   It has been 1.5mnths.  I have maybe a 1/2 inch of ugly old nail at the tip of toenail left before it all becomes an awful memory.  I am so happy!!! I will continue a little bit past the point of it being completely gone just to be sure.  Then, I can paint my toenails once in a while again because I want to- not because I have to to wear sandals."


"I had taken Paxil when I was younger and it worked wonders with my depression and social disorder. However, this time around it is different, but still better with than without. My husband has been on it for close to 5 years. He used to be so angry all the time about everything, this helped him. It helped us because I am a person who does not do well with yelling and arguing. He did try to stop a few months back and it was terrible because his aggressiveness and irritability was off the wall, scarey. His mood swings came on quick and he realized he was better off staying on the Paxil. We are both on 40 mg a day. "


"We find this medication one of our lifesavers.  My son began Cyclic vomiting syndrome when he was 5 years old. Started out with a bang and he would spend one week per month in the hospital for over a year and a half. We did finally resort to both a G and J Tube. One for nutrition and one to bypass the stomach during episodes to give medicines, fluids and nutrition. However, we use the Elavil every night and use Ativan as well as Zofran during an active cycle or right when we see one coming on to abort as well as loads of fluids.
We have tried to experiment and "see" what happens without the Elavil and it was bad. Within a week of not having it, right on the money comes an active Episode. My son is now 13, we still have the Tubes in place and use all the medicines listed."


"The end of the month I woke up to find complete loss of vision in my left eye; only lasted a few hours. As directed, I went straight to the ER and they concluded it must have been an eye migraine. During the duration  of one month of taking this pill and 6 months after, I had overall decreased long range vision. The only two plus sides to this drug was that within the first two weeks my mild acne was 100% gone and I did not get pregnant."


"My husband and I found out we have chlamydia and have probably had it asymptomatically for a while. Doctor prescribed us both a z-pack (1g powder) and I Googled the reviews and almost decided to just live with chlamydia based on the level of scariness I discovered. We mixed the powder, knocked it back (romantic date right?), chugged some water and waited for the misery to set in. It....never happened...for either of us. Haven't visited the toilet any more than usual. No panic attacks. No hallucinations. And best of all, no chlamydia. Definitely take with a meal, but definitely don't panic. I have immediate reactions to everything and this didn't bug me."


"Great medication. I was originally prescribed this medication in a treatment center to help me sleep and with anxiety when I got off of amphetamines (adderall, other amphetamines). I was taking it at bedtime. I found that it helps more with my focus, and it wears off during the day. I take 3mg once daily. However, I still have some strong ADHD symptoms. Intuiv just helps me... stay less scattered. Oh, and insurance is a rubbish it can be difficult to get this medication even with insurance."


"Worse medication ever. Don’t recommend this to no one: Had nose bleeds. Was cured from my bipolar and start haven’t full blown panic attack repeatedly, weird feelings.  Bladder infection got worse. Got back and muscle aches. Need to take it off the market. Need to be banned in the USA "


"I had been taking Saphris 10mg at bedtime for well over a year and then suddenly stopped taking it for a month to see how I would feel. In this month I was a wreck and had racing thoughts and couldn't fall asleep until 2am and would be up 6 hours later. I also found myself fantasizing about stuff and being unrealistic about things. I started taking it again close to a month ago and I really see how much it helps me. The only downside is that I sleep over 11 hours now and I get into such a deep sleep without waking up once."


"My son has been on this for 8 years and it is a huge help. Takes 1st thing in morning and lasts all day. No problem eating dinner and has kept a healthy weight. With the coupon we pay zero out of pocket...."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"38yrs old. I had a colonoscopy (my 4th) two and a half weeks ago and thought the moviprep was quite vile with it's lemon taste. I think I prefer the previous salt tasting solutions. The taste and prep weren't the problem though. On the morning of my colonoscopy my bowel movement appeared "clear", however when I saw the doctor after he said the prep "wasn't great". I took it exactly as directed and am concerned that the quality isn't as good as the previous preparations I've used. Having worked in theatre for colonoscopies I know how important a good prep is and was extremely disappointed in the effect of this one. The worst thing however is that I've had severe abdominal cramps with horrific diarrhea since, with only 3 day reprieve."


"While taking Harvoni, I started to get allergic reactions.  I was told perhaps I should stop the treatment, but was encouraged to continue by the nurse who was treating me.  I never saw the doctor. It is now 7 months since I completed the 8 month course.  I am now allergic to almost everything I eat or drink.  Perfumes and cosmetics put me over the edge.  Yes, it appears that the virus is gone, but at this point, I would rather have the virus than go through what I am now experiencing.  The allergic reaction have become unbearable."


"I live in Northern New England.  This medication has been a life saver for my S A D ."


"At first it was a minor problem. After I had inserted the product it lit me on fire and the itch became worse. DO NOT USE THE PRODUCT! This is the day after and this is horrible, this is the first time I've ever used this product so this could be a day after effect I'm not sure. I don't recommend this though. Get your PCP and get a prescription of Diflucan. The next day you WILL feel relief."


"I have a love & hate relationship with this drug ! I have been on & off this medicine multiple times in the past 5 years At the beginning i saw tremendous relief in my FM symptoms that only lasted about 3 yrs of it was a up and down of changing the dosage because for me weight gain on this pill is ridiculous so my Dr kept me on the lowest dose until i need a lil more, So my dosage was anywhere from 300mg x2 or x3 daily . All this changed on year 4 when i went into a horrible flare up during winter & not even gaba could fix i noticed that it just just stopped working for me p.s. withdrawls are horrible, anxiety,insomina,hot/cold spells, stomach issues,fatigue,nausea,muscle cramps, best wishes to all withdrawing hang in there it gets better!"


"I really don't think parafon forte helped me too well. I really didn't feel any different as far as the muscle spasms, because they were still as bad as they were before. I've switched to 2mg Valium as it has helped tremendously. Plus, Valium helps with my anxiety as well. A quick fact from what I read in my pamphlet on 2mg Valium that it's purposes are for muscle spasms, anxiety, and acute alcohol withdrawals. I never knew about it helping with acute alcohol withdrawals too. You learn something new everyday."


"I went on this for acne, and it worked the first go around, I stopped for like 6-9 months and then went back on it, and now my face is completely dried out everyday, I'm bloated, finding myself completely emotional about things I would never find upsetting, depressed and now I'm bleeding at random times and does not regulate my period. A big no from me."


"I am diagnosed with Bipolar II disorder, and took Lexapro for a few years for my depression. At first in helped, but then it stopped working. I am now on Cymbalta."


"I had struggled with moderate acne for 4 years. I tried every lotion and potion possible on prescription and every medicated facial wash available for acne prone skin. Nothing worked. Finally after a year of waiting for an appointment my dermatologist prescribed 30mg of isotretinoin (roaccutane).  It has taken about 3 months to start to see an improvement and now almost 6 months in my skin is completely clear. It has really helped my self confidence. The good thing is my clear skin will be permanently clear and the dreaded acne will not return. Other than severely dry lips and quite a few nose bleeds (although not as many as I thought) my side effects have been minimal. Stick with it, it definitely works, you just have to be patient."


"I have been a sound sleeper most of my life until I was 65 and began waking up after about 1-1/2 hours sleep most nights and was unable to get back to sleep.  After over a year of this I was always tired and had no stamina.  I began taking Zolpidem 10mg every night at bedtime and was able to get 5 to 5-1/2 hours sleep almost every night.  After a month I had normal energy and stamina (for my age).  The only drawback is that I would prefer 7 to 7-1.2 hrs sleep which I only attain once or twice a week on the Zolpidem 10mg.  I am going to discuss the newer slow-release version with my doctor for the next refill.  It has made a significant improvement in my life and activities."


"I've suffered from hyper hidrosis all my life and it's was nearly unbareble and I got to the point where I didn't want to go out because of it and hypercare saved me. Easy application and no pain or issues for me although I have noted many  other people have had these issues."


"I was given Reglan in the E.R. via I.V. for nausea/vomiting, It caused extreme panic and agitation! I was given Benadryl to reverse the horrible reaction."


"I got it implanted about 9 months ago and my period is exactly opposite from a normal period. I get about one week off from bleeding every month! I have an extremely high sex drive, lost/gained no weight at all, and haven't noticed any changes in my hair growth/loss. I cry and had mood swings but I'm not sure if that is just me or the hormones because I have always been sensitive! Every one is different but I really like this birth control method and I would love it if I didn't bleed every two seconds. It always me to live my life and stay not pregnant until I am ready."


"I have taken Paquenil for approximately 9 months and have started getting red peeling sores on my legs, thought it was psoriasis, but now I am unable to show my legs because the sores are so many.  Stopped taking medicine for the past week, will be going to the doctor today."


"I work in a call center and I was made aware of my hyperness and also that I was speaking way too fast to our customers on the phone. In reality I always knew I was a bit loud with my voice and with my actions. I was diagnosed with ADHD and placed on Vyvanse and to my surprise my world changed I am able to focus not just at work but in my life as well. I feel like every thing has been placed in order. Things make sence to me and I love the feeling. I am glad to have this medication in my life, and I don't see myself as ever going back to living the way I was."


"OMG!!! This is working I can't believe this after all years of suffering I swear I'm crying right now not from depression but HAPPINESS, thank you lamictal I don't mind the loss of libido from risperdal that I'm still taking now the most important thing is that I'm normal and happy!! for all people suffering from bipolar 1 or 2 or other types there's a hope you deserve the best in this life."


"I started getting acne in my early 20's and by 27 I was suffering from cystic acne.. In total I'd say I've tried 20 or more treatments without improving. I did two courses of accutane without improvement... about a year later I went to a new dermatologist and was prescribed differin gel. After three months my face was perfect.. no acne, no scars. Don't even judge it for two months... waiting isn't fun but discouragement can lead to quitting... don't quit you won't regret it... my skin did get dry and sensitive but got better within a month or so... don't scrub, use excessive products and use moisturizer... seriously perfect skin!!"


"I'm 17 and been on Vyvance for about two years. I had always had a really hard time paying attention in class and getting any kind of work done, so my mom took me to the Dr and he diagnosed me with severe ADD. He put me on Strattera and I was good on it, until they upped my dosage. I'm normally a really happy, easy going person, do not get mad easily AT ALL, but on the Strattera, I was moody and was having nightmares, couldn't sleep. So he put me on Ritalin. It was the same as the Strattera, moody, nightmares, and the added increased heart rate. So finally, the Dr said he was going to try Vyvanse. I was really scared because of the past experiences, but I tried it. I slept, felt good, and am able to focus!"


"I gave Adderall an 8 out of 10 because it is very effective, anyone who is narcoleptic (which is why I use this medicine) will stay awake completely. Depending on the dosage you can stay awake anywhere from 5 hours to even more than 12. The down side to this medicine, and let me be clear that it is just with my experience is that it can make you jittery and excited. It also gave me "false confidence" and just overall made me more outgoing than I usually. Also I found that the first time I used it it gave me quite a high, which I eventually got used to. After several days I started hallucinating things and got paranoid. There are definitely some psychological side effects even more than the ones that I've experienced. "


"This medicine was awful. I took it for severe nausea and vomiting and it made me anxious, nervous, and on edge. I have never felt that way before and will never again take this medication."


"It has changed my life, I've been on effexor (75mg) for almost 2 months and it's hard to realize that your life was a mess before effexor. It took away my physical pain and my anxiety, the first few weeks felt as if a veil was pulled out and then I as able to feel me again and to see everything around me on a new light, calmer light. And I realized I was not a choleric (bad-tempered or irritable) person but a pretty laid back one."


"I've been on Celexa now for about 2 months for anxiety. It really helps for the anxiety but I have trouble falling asleep. When I do fall asleep I have long vivid dreams all night. Very weird dreams."


"I have struggled mightily with insomnia due to anxiety.  Been on 7.5 mg for just over a year, and have made significant progress in that time.  Feel very tired normally within an hour or so of taking it and generally have slept well with far fewer exceptions.  Not sure it really does anything for anxiety/depression.  But I also am taking escitalopram during the day.  Would certainly recommend mirtazapine for anyone struggling with insomnia."

"I seriously do not know how this medicine is approved as a stimulant. I suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and shift work sleep disorder. This medicine in no way kept me awake, alert, or focused. If anything I had a complete opposite affect. I felt some sort of brain fog, my performance at work lagged, and I couldn't keep my eyes open. I had no motivation to accomplish any tasks, or get out of bed for that matter. Along with these negative effects I had headaches and nausea. I would not recommend this as a stimulant or something for sharp cognitive effects. But, maybe more like a sleeping pill. I felt like it was a sleeping pill, but struggling to stay awake after taking it. Tried for 1 week."


"I'm really happy with the NuvaRing. I used to get awful PMS, terrible cramps, and ovarian cysts that would land me in the hospital. I used to think it was my Crohn's flaring, but by the time I got to the hospital-I would get my period. The pain was so severe. My periods were never regular since I was 14: I'm 28 now. I would get so emotional, moody, and scared all the time, because I never knew when it was coming. After coming across a fantastic OBGYN, she decided to put me on the ring. It's great! My periods are REGULAR. I did gain a little weight, but I figure its normal because of the hormones. It's a little tricky to get inside-patience is key. I'd like to go on a hormonal IUD, but this is working so well. I'm afraid to try anything else"


"I had been on Seasonique for a number of years, but since going into Peri- Menopause, my OBGYN felt the added estrogen was no longer in my best interest health wise. I began taking Errin three months ago and am so happy with the results!  I've had no period (not pregnant), not even break through bleeding.  The bloat is gone and I've since lost seven pounds.  I also have more energy and my mood is so much better.  This has been a life save for me!!!"


"I'm 48 years old and have been having heavy bleeding for 2 years now, decided to try the depo for the first time in October 2015.  Have gained so much weight and developed several breast cysts.  Chose not to get the second depo injection. Period started immediately, have been bleeding heavily for 3 weeks now with dark clots, this is so cruel.   And now I'm hearing this could go on for months.  W.T.!"


"I took Ellaone like end of oct time on the same day as i had unprotected sex. I only took it coz my period app said i have a medium chance of getting preg and as am usually carefull i didn't want to take any chances..so here we are 21days days late and panicking although all the preg tests i have done were all negative!!"


"Stopped cough but severe diarrhea as others have stated. unfortunately didn't figure that it was the medicine until second night taking it..."


"I love it!  Sleep great on it... wake up feeling like I've had a good night sleep."


"Helps tremendously with my headaches."


"The insertion wasn't bad. It did hurt, but I took Tylenol to help with the pain. I've had it for about a month now. My body is still getting used to it, but it is great so far. Don't let the bad reviews stop you from getting it. Everyone's body is different."


"My doctor told me to eat lots of protein in the morning. The protein attaches to the active ingredient in the Viibryd. He said the worst side effects of this medicine would be nausea and diarrhea. He told me to eat the equivalent of an Egg McMuffin in the morning with my medicine. I'm up to 10mg and I eat 30-40gm of protein with it. I do have diarrhea, but I'm hopeful that it will go away once my body is accustomed to the new protein requirement. I'm a cereal lover. Eggs, ham and cheese are too much in the mornings some days, but I'm willing to do this because I feel so much better on this medication. I'm not snappy and I seem to have more energy."


"I've been using Aczone twice a day for 4 and a half weeks for my red pimples. When I went to my dermatologist she put a needle in each pimple it was a medicine which helped a little bit. And ever since using aczone nothing worked. It clearly says after a specific period of time if the cream doesn't work change it to a new cream or gel. This cream is not so great. Giorgio armani CC cream works for my skin way better, and the dior nude air powder is great for my oily skin.  I will definitely get a different  prescription cream."


"I've been on Wellbutrin for a few years now but I may have to go off of it now due to my job loss. It has really helped my depression and not caused a huge weight gain like Effexor and Zoloft did.
"


"MD prescribed Fosamax. Took first dose and two day later woke up with a severe headache, boating, gas and terrible nausea. By the time I got home from work I had severe back pain, joint pain and headache. The boating was almost intolerable. The next day, nausea was  worse and the headache continued with no relief even after OTC pain med. I will take Calcium and Vitamin D instead."


"Face has become very red, itchy, dry and sore. Skin looks worse!"


"After being on Zoloft for a while and trying hydroxyzine, which both did nothing for my anxiety, Buspar has also had no effect whatsoever after almost a month. Still taking 100mg Zoloft but might stop taking the Buspar. I see no reason for putting another useless chemical in my body."


"Just started Lithium 300mg daily, 5 days ago. I'm hopeful it will help with the depression, I'm just always so extremely tired (been like this since my teens, I'm 42).  I by accident found out I was bipolar, I know sounds strange but it started when my doc prescribed Tegretol for neuralgia. It didn't help for it but instead got rid of my migraines, lifted my mood and was taking me out of the depression, was working great but then became allergic to it, I'm now on Lithium and I pray that it works just as great as Tegretol.  I currently take Adderall, Lithium, Restoril and Doxycycline. I'm prescribed Zoloft but stopped taking it because I didn't feel any better."


"sorry sudafed no stars as no change! Back to hot steamy water with albas oil ! That worked"


"I am 86 & have Wet Macular Degeneration. I had the 1st injection of eylea into my "good" left eye on Tuesday morning, September 8, 2015. Wednesday night, approximately 36 hours after the 1st injection I had a significant bleed in the injected left eye. I went back to the doctor the next morning who verified the bleed but insisted the eylea did not cause it and that it's lucky I just had the injection. I saw another retina specialist who said that it does happen that people get bleeds after the eylea. When I asked about eylea and infection, he said I'm worried about infection when I already got a bleed. He said I have to way up the risks before further treatment especially because my left eye is the only one with some vision left."


"I am 23 years old and have been on this medication for about 18 months and I have to say that I absolutely love it! I had unbearable cramps and hot flashes, as well as severe acne before I started. The first month I did bloat, but it quickly disappeared, along with my acne, hot flashes, and cramps. My only complaint is that it also took away my period and I could do without the monthly pregnancy panic. That would be my only reason for switching."


"The taste and texture have been a struggle, and swallowing the prep has been difficult, but the results have been gentle and effective.  At first, I couldn't not swallow the mixture at all, but I mixed it with hot lemon tea and a lot of lemon juice and sipped it slowly.  That made all the difference."


"I've had eczema all my life,  at 24 it now comes in flare ups every now and then generally when the weather changes or other allergies I.e hay-fever that go hand in hand.
I've used probably most things on the market,  from oily emollients to creams and I seem to have settled with this. Other creams don't have the date effect this does its easy to apply doesn't feel greasy and soaks in quickly..  But it is the only cream that really works.  Big eczema flare ups are dealt with in days as opposed to weeks previously and it stops the urge to itch..  Honestly if you suffer with eczema you need to make sure you have this it's a must."


"Works well, initially though I felt like the medicine gave a "forced" feeling of alertness - similar but not as bad as Provigil. It subsided completely after 72 hours and continues to work very well.

I have MS (advanced, fast progressing) and without this I wouldn't be able to overcome the fatigue to get out of bed, my chair or move around. I can also stop using it without noticing any bad effects. As such, as my symptoms improve intermittently, I use less or none until it is needed again.  I don't see the "addictive" tendency in the use of this medication either like the medicine information mentions... there is no "warm fuzzy feeling" or altered mental state for me. I just get to where I can move my legs and arms better, and think more clearly."


"Nexplanon ruined my life. I had it implanted in October of 2015. I started bleeding two days later and I kept bleeding for five months until the gynecologist gave up trying to fix it and took it out. I was anemic and sick by the end. It was only effective birth control because it made it impossible to do the deed. Ever since then, I have had horrible periods. They stretch on and on. They start two weeks early even on the pill. I never had these problems before nexplanon. I've been on multiple different birth controls since, several different bc pills and now nuvaring. Sometimes it stops the irregular bleeding. But never for long. On July 5th I started my period. It's now August 14th. It's not stopping again. Nexplanon ruined my life."


"This drug has been a miracle for me.  I take it with Abilify (5 mgs) - and it has been a God-send.  I was on a triple combination of Cymbalta, Welbutrin and Abilify and still did not feel well.  Pristiq has helped me tremendously from within a week of onset.  I have struggled with depression since 1991 - and have been on a variety of "cocktails" but this one is working the best so far.  I still struggle with sleep and anxiety - as I have problems with Doctors treating my anxiety disorder as it should be.  Interesting that physicians will treat some things an not others.  My only complaint is lacking in sleep - other wise I would recommend this medicine to anyone struggling with depression."


"I've been on Pristiq 50mg. I'm only 18 it felt like it made me worse at times, it didn't do too much. I'm now off it and waiting to start a new antidepressant."


"I switched to this after Aviane because I went down from a very full C cup to barely fitting in a B. My doctor switched me on Microgestin Fe saying that its low hormone and I should have my body shape back.

Cons:

-My acne came back. Huge pimples on my forehead, and small little ones all along my cheeks while redness.

-My nose is constantly swollen

-My face is no longer clear and glowing as it was on Aviane.

-My hair is also drier and thinner. It is falling like crazy

-My periods were never severely heavy, but I would have to be careful sleeping in certain positions the first two days because they would be a bit excessive.

Pros:

-Not pregnant

-No mood swings after a while"


"This has been extremely useful in the stopping my restless legs at night. If I happen to stop or run out I'm experiencing the restless legs again. I hate that feeling and have to get up and shake my legs. It is a feeling I simply can't stand!"


"I was on this pill for about a year, I worked completely fine for me.

 Although I did have bloating and at first had major mood swings and would often get depressed. Wanted to try something new and I honestly I like Lo Loestrin Fe over any other birth control."


"Cymbalta saved me.  I was in a state of constant recurring anxiety with many physical symptoms such as vomiting every morning, shaking, and over feeling of panic and disassociation.  My thoughts were swirling (due to a very stressful situation) almost constantly.  I started on 30mg and noticed an improvement within 2 weeks.  I still had some anxiety in the mornings so my dose was increased to 60 mg.  I have 0 anxiety now and am able to more calmly and clearly work through stressful or worrisome situations.  I had very great reservations about any kind of medication and only decided to try because I had no options.  It has been a godsend for me and I have had zero side effects.  Don't rule it out, it may save your life."


"After just a few days I am experiencing pain in my neck and upper back pain so bad that I cannot take it anymore."


"It was all going well until 6 months into it a sudden burst of laughter dislodged the Mirena and it eventually perforated the uterus and ended up on the outside. After 2 lots of ultrasounds it has to be removed by laparoscopic surgery. Not a good option if you live outside the city as many appointments to get it sorted plus the expense of it all."


"I'm ADD and Bipolar.  Strattera has helped give me a laser like focus in the morning.  If I don't get enough sleep I can't stay awake (it seems to cause drowsiness) but if I am well rested, I am on task.  The only negative is as the day wears on, it seems to lose effectiveness.  I could use another dose by 3pm.  I am thirsty all the time, dry mouth and not very hungry. I'm on my 2nd month and seeing how it goes. I've tried Adderall that made me way too nervous and Effexor which didn't do enough."


"It made me 95% pain free for 15 years. Unfortunately it's effectiveness diminished over the years and I had to switch to another drug."


"I've been on many antidepressants since I was 21. Prozac for years that just stopped working. Cymbalta didn't work, Pristiq had very bad reaction. Recently my Doctor gave me Wellbutrin and the first few weeks worked great but then I had to keep getting the dosage "upped". Eventually it just wasn't enough. Than I got Celexa added (which I never heard of, he said it was an older anti depressant) and for the first week it really helped. Had more energy and felt happier. Now it has seemed to "settle in" basically and I still feel depressed but this works the best. Recently I had a couple major tragedies happen in a short amount of time and wasn't able to cope. I was taking Klonopin up to 3 times a day and it just didn't work. Now I'm on Ativan."


"When I first read and heard about all the possible side effects I was terrified. People will say that it's ok and that you still look fine with acne, but unless you have acne you'll never understand how self conscious you are about it. The first two to three weeks of the treatment made acne worse than I had ever it and I felt even worse but after that, my face started clearing up like magic. The only side effects I experienced were chap lips and mood swings. My mood swings only lasted about a month. However the chap lips lasted the entire time I was on the pill and about two months after. My face has remained clear for almost 6 months. I still get one or two pimples very rarely but they're small and go away quickly without any scars."


"Here's the issue, my rosacea abated for the most part while using doxycycline monohydrate 100mg twice daily. The major issue is that I started retaining fluid for no apparent reason (went to doctor, Kidney and endocrinology specialists) and after stopping this drug, the swelling went down remarkably (> 15 lb loss in 4 days). This is a significant problem with other antibiotics also, Levaquin, Ciprofloxacin, etc. Even if a limited number of users have this it is significant. I hope that reading this helps someone else, I suffered for almost 2 years."


"I took my first dose of Nefazodone this morning at about 10:30 for anxiety, I went about it with being hopeful because I read all the positive things about this drug on this website, And I have to say it is not worth it.  I got 60 pills yesterday and  though I would take as prescribe by my physician 100 mg. twice a day. I would NEVER take this medication again, it is probably just me but within an hour after taking it, I got weak in my legs and arms, my head started feeling weird, I felt anxious, more than I did before I took this medication.  It may just be me but I won't take another dose of this, I take Doxepin 25 mg twice a day and I thought I would get something better that wasn't a WAIT GAIN medication, but I would rather carry the we"


"Took this medication intravenously in the hospital with no problem. Now I am taking it in pill form at 150mg a pop for 1 week and 2 days. Just washed my face as always in the am an noticed all these red bumps on my face, neck and upper arms. Just trying to find out if this is from the medication? Haven't eaten anything different or used anything different. At a complete loss..."


"It stopped the cough and wheezing. I was on 20mg to start and then cut back to 10 mg and then 5mg. I've not had anything work as well."


"Nauzene chewable tablets purchased at local drug store for nausea. This is controlling the awful nausea I am experiencing. I was ready to stop at day 2 as I was so miserable. Nauzene to the rescue. I'm only at day 4 of taking Contrave but my appetite has noticeably decreased. I am hopeful this will help me get my weight under control."


"I've been taking Trintellix for over 6 months now and it's helped me a lot! Taking it along with my anxiety medication and birth control has completely gotten rid of my suicidal thoughts and now my panic attack are extremely rare, and only when I am about to/am on my period. My only problem is that it hasn't done as well as psychiatrist has hoped, I still have some of the daze and haziness that prevents me from being able to do anything. Which isn't a very great point if you're on 20mg and your insurance will barely pay for it since it's new, leaving you with about 340$!!!! I still think it's done well by getting me stable and calm but still not really good enough for me, at least right now."


"I started Belviq 8 days ago. I did experience dizziness, headaches and tiredness for the first few days but now I'm back to normal and down 8.5 pounds!  What's even better is that not only is my appetite gone, I also get full very quickly so even when I'm not eating as healthy, I only get between 1/4 and 1/2 (if even), which means I still lose weight."


"I tried others but they did not work as well as PENNSAID, I recommend Pennsaid, it works great on me."


"After looking at all birth control I decided to go with the patch since it had the least side effects. This is my first birth control ever and I was worried how I would feel. I read the reviews on here and was expecting a horrible headache the first day I put it on but I didn't feel any different at all. It's still my first week but so far, everything is great! I forget it's even on me and my sex drive is still beyond great!"


"I have been on this pill since November and I love it. I have not had a period since then. I only spot when I forget to take the pill. This honestly has been the best pill I have been on. I have had no bad side effects from this pill. I would recommend it to anyone who can only do progesterone only."


"I was prescribed Macrobid for a UTI. Within 12 hours of my first dose, I had extreme body and muscle pain from my ankles to my shoulders.  I am 100% aware that many people can take Macrobid and be fine, I'm just relieved to read that some other people went through what I did for the simple fact that I thought I was dying! The morning after I started taking the meds, even my lungs felt bruised. I was too weak to hardly even walk. I returned to the doctor and totally thought they would hospitalize me. He wrote me a new script and sent me home. My mother and husband took turns taking care of me until I stopped vomiting and writhing in pain, which in total took days. I couldn't eat and even couldn't take care of my small children for two days."


"I have had no major problems except for insomnia."


"I am 24 yrs old and I have been on Loestrin 24 Fe for 6 yrs now and I love it. I have had zero weight gain and no complaints other than the price. It is important to remember that everyone is different and as such may not have the same experiences with medications. I have had a GREAT experience with this medication! I have not become pregnant, have very light, short periods, and very little cramps. I take it as directed per the package insert directions and have had great results."


"I used it some time back and did not get a full reaction but I am over 80 years old but in good condition."


"Terrible and cant get off these. Blurried vision,have to close eyes. Dizzy and not yourself."


"I could not focus while on this drug. I had blurry vision and I couldn't sit still. Now I'm on something else with no side effects."


"Made me so tired could not focus or stand up, it pretty much sedated me slept like a baby. Doctor said it would make me sleepy because of a bad allergic reaction to Testim so it sedated me to keep me from scratching my rash."


"I was hopeful after reading all the reviews, but I was on 50mg for 2 days and could not bring myself to take it the third day. I was incapable of looking after my two young children, I was out of it and didn't even feel I could get in the car and drive, the simple task of cooking dinner seemed like a nightmare to me. Would have been interesting to see how long this lasted and see the wonderful effects I am reading about. Maybe when my husband is on holidays I might try again but being Christmas in 3 days, working and looking after kids I need to be clear headed. On the plus side I couldn't hardly eat and lost 2kgs."


"It is good for UTI but it's not good for the body at all!! the second day I started having muscle problems, sleeping problems, anxiety..."


"I started taking this in April 2012. I weighed 192.5. It is now October 2012 and I am down to 143!! I take it before breakfast and exercise 2-3 times a week sometimes more, depending on how I feel. The first day is the only time I got jittery at all. No other problems except for dry mouth. I keep a low carb diet with the occasional cheat. But I feel great and never thought I would be down this much weight this soon."


"I mainly took this pill because combination pills made my blood pressure sky rocket. I loved it at first. After the first month I had no period. Them about 4 months into it I was bleeding for two weeks straight. I developed an ovarian cyst while on this. And it was rupturing. I immediately stopped this pill. Never had a cyst before in my life. Now I'm back on seasonique and on BP meds."


"Male - 33years old. Excruciating pain in lower SI region of my back following an aggressive 30 mile bick ride and a few days of surfing. Woke up the next morning with shooting pain in low back which progressed to shooting pains running down my glutes and referred pain to the hip flexor region. For two weeks this was extremely painful and did not subside even w/ ice applications and finally chiropractic visits 5 total and lots of Advil.

Per the suggestion of my wife I tried aleve (2 pills for first dose and 1 pill each dose after that. After 2 pills I noticed a HUGE difference and significantly reduced pain as well as better range of motion as inflammation had gone down. I highly recommend for anyone with back pain as it really helped me!"


"I have been suffering from anxiety and stress since 2013, xanax was suggested to me, 4 years on xanax..5mg thrice a day but even then I was anxious. I decided to consult psychiatrist for complete treatments, he prescribed Zoloft 25mg BD for a week then 50mg OD, on day 7 i started feeling good, on 8 day I have started to take 50mg feeling little foggy but it will obviously show its full effect up to week 4. So give the zoloft time to work...
Wish u all the best.."


"I started it in April of 2011 and absolutely loved it. By February of 2012, I was nauseous and puking after meals--went to the doctor and discovered that I had also gained 16 pounds! (Didn't notice clothes any tighter or anything). Right now, I'm trying a lower dose, but I still can't shake the weight (AND it's becoming visibly noticeable which is NOT so great for my self esteem). I'm planning on calling the doctor tomorrow to try a regular estrogen based pill again. "


"I'm at the two-week point. And while it's still a bit painful to get out of bed, once I do I no longer feel "stoned." There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Days one through five were as follows: 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 300 mg, 400 mg.  Then it was a matter of getting my body acclimated to 400 mg, which I thought would never happen.

If you are able to take vacation/sick days/medical leave, I do suggest it. I did not. Either way, just know it does get better within a matter of weeks."


"I have been on it for a week.  Presure went up to 160/100, have diarrhea and stomach does not feel good.  Will be calling the doctor."


"Started on Dronedarone 2 months ago after failures with Propafenone, Sotalol and Ablation procedures.
To date Dronedarone has been totally ineffective."


"Had it in for 3 weeks..  Not sure if I have had any side effects. I've been a super horrible to my husband the past week. Which isn't really me, and I've cried twice this week like it was the end of days..  Which is unlike me. Though I'm also a new mom to a 6 week old..  Don't know if its stress or this..  Also, just started my period (great) its heavy!  Everyone's reviews on here are freaking  me out a bit. I definitely don't want to gain weight especially while still on the process of loosing the 35lbs I gained while pregnant. Kinda wishing I would have done more research before I got it, instead of randomly picking one out a booklet at the Dr."


"I have been on many medications but have felt indifferent about them as I never really saw my symptoms improving or worsening. I just always felt horrible and accepted that this was my life with chronic illness! I feel so strongly about how wonderful Humira is that I had to write my first review. Humira changed my life in less than two months. I am an active student athlete and have never felt healthier than I do now! I recommend it to anyone and everyone who suffers. I know people respond differently to meds but as much as it has helped me, I think it is more than worth a try. I ended up on Humira because my insurance would not cover Remicaid or Cimzia. I am SO glad it worked out the way it did."


"Has helped me a lot with focusing and getting tasks done. I had some nausea during my first and second weeks. Taking it with food was helpful. Overall, it worked pretty well for me."


"Prescribed clonidine in December when my motor tics had become debilitating. One pill three times a day didn't accomplish much. My neurologist upped my dose to 5 pills 3 times a day and my tics ceased completely within 10 days. When my life gets really stressful the tics come back, but a few days at 2 pills 3 times daily and they usually subside. Side effects with 3x5 daily were significant...could not stay awake for more than an hour or two at a time (couldn't drive) and the dry mouth (cotton mouth) was terrible,  but the tics went away.   Side effects with 3x2 daily are similar, but not as severe."


"My experience on Saphris has been mixed. None of the other atypical antipsychotics has addressed my manic symptoms better. It really helps with my sleep. My moods are more stabler, I'm less of a trouble/burden for my family, and I'm happier than I've been in the past. Now the problems: First, when I'm on Saphris, it lowers my sex and creative drives. I've had trouble in bed, and I've found it really difficult to generate new ideas for paintings and drawings, and the quality of my art overall has decreased. Second, Saphris appears to be impacting my long-term memory. My spouse has noticed this. I'm just not remembering my past with reliability--memories are faint and/or scrambled and I usually get details and dates wrong."


"I've been on lithium for about a month now. I was put on it by the doctor in the hospital after a major manic episode. This is the first time in my life that I have no have thoughts of harming myself. My mood is stable, life is easier and I am not suffering. I had some side effects of nausea and vomiting but with a reduction in my level and always taking it with food these side effects have subsided. I am still getting used to being stable after over three decades of illness but this is getting better every day. I recommend giving lithium a try if nothing else has worked."


"I am 21, and had Nexplanon put in 7 months ago. This is the first time I've ever been on birth control. I have gained a little bit of weight and my breasts have gotten bigger. Sometimes I am hungry all the time for days, other times I am nauseous every time I eat. I get irritated easily and more often. But the worst is the bleeding. I bled for 3 months straight after I got it. It stopped for a week and half, then bled for 3 weeks, stopped for a week, bled for two months, stopped for about a month, and now I have been bleeding for more than 2 weeks. It's never been spotting, it's a full-on period all the time. As convenient and effective as it is, I cannot handle the constant heavy bleeding. I am considering getting it removed."


"Took one pill and all the side effects manifested ... full blown. Another on a long list of wonder drugs that give me the full blown side effects.  My doctor put me on a couple of the old stand-bys and I'm doing pretty good."


"Hello all,

I was prescribed Pristiq (50mg) for Major Depressive Disorder and severe OCD. Before going on the meds about 12weeks ago I read a lot of online forums and was terrified after reading innumerable horrible reviews! I have to say that this medication has changed my life, I feel normal again; I have energy, I am happy, I am motivated and my relationship has improved drastically!

Everyone reacts differently to medications but do not be scared to try it based on the reviews you see. I experienced moderate side effects for the first 4 weeks; drowsiness (really strong in the first week), nausea, insomnia and headaches. I never experienced the 'brain zaps' and most side effects went away after week 4."


"Love the fact that I don't have periods!  However immediately after having it inserted, I started experiencing severe acne (I'm 35) so this is seriously unacceptable.  It's so bad that it's all over my face, neck, chest, back and scalp.  Nothing works to get rid of it.  I went to a dermatologist and he prescribed several items for me none of which worked.  I have another appointment to go in a couple of days.  There is a medicine that apparently works (I did lots of research online) that's called spironolactone that's used for high blood pressure and acne as well as a few other things.  People say that if they're prescribed 100mg, it works and they have almost no pimples after a few months."


"Had my second 50mg injection (done weekly) in the doctor's office today.  No negative side effects yet.  Metal taste for several hours after the injection.  Mouth sores are gone.  Still taking 200mg of Imuran daily in conjunction.  Thinking I feel a little less fatigued.  Time will tell."


"Having taken this medicine in combination with other anti-rejection drugs and steroids following a liver transplant I suffered from severe anger issues. These only subsided once medication was decreased."


"Let me preface this by saying I had gastric sleeve 16 months ago. My stomach holds 6 ounces. Took me 20 minutes to get the first prep drink in. I've forced 16 more ounces of water in and I'm in some serious pain.  It's been 54 minutes and I'm trying not to throw up. I gotta get another 16 ounces down in 20 minutes. Then do this all over again at 5:30 tomorrow? Oh I had to do a pre pre prep last nite. 10 ounces of magnesium citrate. That was worse tasting than this stuff."


"Pricey but worth it with insurance $80 copayment with mfg cupon $30."


"This usually helps me get to sleep really well.  It says to take it while you're already in bed but I don't find that it immediately knocks me out like Ambien did. The Sonata gets me to sleep and lets me wake up just fine in the morning.  The only problem is if I wake up during the night and can't return to sleep and so sometimes I take an additional one to help get back to sleep."


"I woke up today with severe stinging in my eyes and tears rolling down my face. I knew it was allergies but I rarely get allergy eyes this bad. In fact I've only had allergy eyes twice in the past 10 years (and today was the second occurrence). Dad went out and bought Zaditor for me (after I researched eye drops to buy, which was after I flushed my eyes with a lubricant drop) and I put them in and within 5 minutes my eyes were perfect! I started noticing stinging again about 10:40pm tonight and put them in again and now my eyes are great again. I love this eye drop! I did not feel any burning or stinging or any other side effects when using these drops. This was the first day of using any allergy eye drop, so I didn't know what to expect."


"I had horrible PMDD that lasted 2 weeks every month that translates into half of my life. During PMDD I suffered from depression, fatigue, mood swings. I was a completely different person. It interfered with my work and I was calling in sick at least every other month. I am convinced my boss thought I was faking illness because of the frequency of calling in sick and I never "sounded" sick. Anyways, thanks to Yaz my life has changed so much for the better. Sometimes I will have a little PMS mood swing but nothing like before. My energy and moods stays consistent through the month now. It is wonderful to feel back in control of my emotions. Thanks Yaz."


"Being on this medicine for the first 5 days was hard, felt sicker then ever with symptoms of mild diarrhea, some hives, worst nausea, fatigue. This started to improve day 6. After being on it for a week am almost back to normal. Felt like the drugs had to work on the H.Pylori, then the body had to work on getting the drug out of the body."


"I have been taking this for two weeks and I cry literally ALL the time for no reason!! It makes me feel insane! DON'T take this pill!"


"I've had acne my entire life tried everything from roaccutane to special diets to expensive creams and nothing worked. Started Yasmin and my skin became absolutely flawless. I wanted a kid, so I stopped the pill and my acne came back instantly. My son is now 5 months and I've started Yasmin again because I need my acne to be gone! I'm 29 and it's annoying to have skin his bad. This pill makes me crazy, but I'll take the craziness for clear skin. My sex drive disappeared while I was on it too. Lost weight which was a plus."


"I felt the life was worthless, close to suicidal. I tried different medicines, without any result. The Wellbutrin changed my life. I have been using it for 2 years. In the beginning 150mg made a big change. After some time I used 300mg. Now I have stabilized in a pretty good mood and energy with only "filling up" with Wellbutrin two or three times a week. No side effects. Try it, it is nothing to lose."


"I find that Clonazepam relieves the burning caused by neuropathy better than any other medication. My neurologist also prescribes gabapentin and lamictal, but honestly, the right dose of clonazepam is all you need."


"Really helped with nasal congestion, however I will never take it at night again.  Took it at 8:00pm and still up at 2:00am.  "


"This was the most incredible pill. It entirely changed my life. I used to be so scared of failure and it used to effect my income and job performance. I used to have really bad anxiety and it used to effect my sleep pretty badly. The first month and a half were pretty brutal on Lexapro but after that it immediately began working. I no longer suffer from anxiety. I sleep extremely well. I can multi task now and I don't worry about things like I used to and my fear of failure is long gone. I was like you, reading this review, thinking that they must be fake. But I said what the hell and decided to book an appointment with my psychiatrist. My life has never been better since!"


"I have been taking this medication with the study for over 2 years for severe psoriatic arthritis. My psoriasis has disappeared. I rarely have outbreaks and if I do they are small and disappear within weeks. For psoriatic arthritis, I would rate it lower, around a 7, because I still have to take a d-mard each month along with 300 MG monthly of  cosentyx . Still, this is an impressive medication for people with severe psoriasis arthritis. I was barely walking when I started this study and now people ask why I have a handicapped tag. That massive improvement is due, in part, to this medication. It took about 3 months to feel the total effects for the arthritis and there was a noticeable difference taking 300 MG instead of 150 mg."


"There's some pretty crazy reviews on here, but I love my paragard. Mine was free (thanks Obama!) I don't think I ever wanna have kids someday and I don't wanna deal with hormonal birth control, so this was a perfect choice for me. The side effects rocked my world for the first 3 months. You definitely need to have tolerance for pain, but come on, us women do. But after that, everything is back to normal. Got it checked out today (4 months later) and it's still in the right place. I'm addicted, and I'm so glad I finally have one now after a good year of searching."


"This pill has been pretty good for me. It is a lower hormones dose than the many other pills I tried before, which gave me bad side effects. I had mild nausea and headaches with this pill for the first 3 months but that's it. I have gained about 25 pounds in the 2 years I've used it but I don't mind it as much as some other people. My sex drive has gone down a tiny bit but nothing noticeable. I have sex frequently, using this as my only protection method, and I haven't had a pregnancy scare (granted, I am very good at taking it on time). This pill isn't perfect, but its definitely the best one I've tried!"


"Worked well when I started the 25mg, but then after a few weeks (maybe 2) I went back to be bring anxious as ever but only now with tons of side affects, caused me to gain a ton of weight and increased my appetite, causes excessive sweating, and a bunch more. Basically I'm on medicine that causes a bunch more problem's and I feel like it makes my anxiety worse. And no I haven't just been on zoloft for a few weeks I've been on it for at least 8 months already and I'm now on 150mg. And still no change. It works for some people and not for others, and it did not work for me."


"I've been taking this for almost 2 months. After doing more research I've realized it isn't for me. I feel no worse or better then when I started it. I have post traumatic stress disorder and this doesn't seem to be helping at all."


"I hate this thing! I've had it in for over 2 years, I got it after I had my daughter. Not the best decision I've ever made and I'm having a hard time getting my doctor and my OBGYN to take it out it's like nobody wants to. It has decreased my sex drive made me hormonal mood swings depressed put a strain on my relationship with my husband because of that. I can hardly ever get "in the mood" and that sucks, I'm 24 y.o! Also the weight gain, the nausea, irregular periods, cystic acne breakouts on my face....seriously I hate this thing! It has made me so miserable. I'm switching OBGYN offices just to get the damn thing out!"


"For over a year I suffered from unbelievable anxiety. Something very new to me. I first thought it was because my son was in Iraq, and my Dad had died, but I soon thought there was more to my anxiety. My doctor prescribed Paxil and wow what a difference. This is a very good drug for anxiety."


"For 4 months, Multaq and Lopressor together have maintained normal sinus rhythm for me. No serious side effects."


"Had AFib for 6 months. Did the cardio version once. Went on this drug 5 days later tried cardio version again and it worked.   Been on drug now for 10 days.  Feeling tired have shortness of breath with even light exercise like walking around the block.  Also headaches not happy about it"


"Symlin, for me, has allowed proper digestion and has eliminated loose stools... which I experienced for 48 years and thought of as a 'normal' condition... and has brought signifigant comfort to my personal life. I am careful to delay injection until the meal is in front of me ready to eat to head off any negative nausea effect."


"Terrible heartburn and nausea after three doses(pills). Stopped on the advice of Doctor."


"Developed anxiety and panic again after not having it for 30 years.  Could  have been triggered by an attack of vertigo.  Dr. put me on Buspar 10mg twice a day.  I was also on Prozac 20 mg once a day and Clonopin 0.5mg once at night for years and felt just fine.  The Buspar made me spacey and did not help the anxiety.  They reduced it to 5mg twice a day.  Still a little spacey and did not help anxiety.  Upped my Clonopin to an extra 0.5mg in morning and 0.25mg in afternoon.  Buspar is not helping.  Going to ask my doctor to change to something else.  Been on it almost a couple of months.  Any help anyone can give me?  Thanks so much.  I am also afraid to be alone at home since hubby works 2nd shift but is going to 1st shift next week which will help."


"I've been using Otezla for around three months now.  I had some minor side effects of loose stool and headaches.  They have subsided and don't affect me anymore.  I'm probably 80% clear now.  This time of year I normally have a large increase of lesions.  Not only have the lesions gone away, no new ones have formed.  It will be nice to wear shorts and short sleeve shirts again.  For me, this med has worked great."


"Until three months ago I thought I had tried it all. My doctor mentioned Topamax in a follow-up and asked if I'd be willing to try one more time. (I'd about given up) I had just happened to be recovering from a horrific migraine from the night before that had me down with my ice packs and my trusty bucket for nine hours. So I said, "Yes, gimme!" I'm still trying to decide if it was the best decision... My goal was 100mg a day, I haven't made it beyond 50mg yet. My side effects are tingling hands/feet, brain fog, thirsty ALL THE TIME, hot flashes, and forgetfulness. I went from 2-3 migraines weekly to about that monthly. So it DOES help, but the side effects are ridiculous and they aren't going away. It's choosing the lesser of two evils."


"I have been on Bydureon for just under a week.  I have not been able to eat very much.  I am nauseous every day and no very little energy.  I've been considering going to see my doctor to see whats wrong with me but I see from these messages that it's probably from the injection.  Of course, I've lost a few pounds because I cannot eat anything.

I HATE HOW I FEEL!"


"Lyrica 300mg 2 per day for peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy pain is bad but this does help, better than gabapentin and others I have taken, and the list is mighty long! "


"This product works very well to eliminate skin cancers.

It becomes quite irritating after a few days, and very irritating at about 10 days, but it gets rid of the skin cancer in a couple of weeks."


"So, I was so excited to try out the nuva ring. I have the mind of a goldfish, so remembering a pill everyday would be a struggle. When I put it in, I felt no diffrent. But the next few nights, I've never been more sick. And for the first 2 weeks, I was like a bunny in heat. I've became lazy, unmotivated, emotional and had no confidence at all. I've read a couple of reveiws, so I tried to stick it out a month. Today, I finally took it out, and had an overwhelming emotional breakdown. I was mean, and cried for no reason, and felt depressed. This is not who I am. I've had this thing out for about 8 hours, and I'm finally starting to feel better. I think I'm just going to try abstinence for my birth control method."


"I started Saxenda a week ago. I have CHF and PCOS so I can't use Adipex. The first day I had bad nausea but that is the only side effect so far. It has definitely taken away my appetite. I just don't want to eat at all. Food doesn't seem appetizing anymore and I love food. I do get thirsty more often. I've lost a few pounds but this could be water weight. I'll check back in a week to give an update.

****9/10/15 update ****
I'm on the 1.8 dose now. I have occasion nausea but nothing I can't tolerate. I've lost 15lbs so far.  Still have a lack of appetite. I'm always really thristy. I like the fact that there are very little side effects. I do have to still keep on my lasix for fluid weight because I missed one day of them and gained 4lbs "


"My Mother was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer and had to undergo months of chemotherapy which caused her to be severely sick (she was 69 at the time of diagnosis).  The medication for sickness that the hospital gave her didn't work, and she still vomited and felt drained etc from both the vomiting and the chemotherapy.  I went to my GP (I'm English) and asked him if there was anything which he could prescribed to help her as it was terrible seeing her going through this, and he prescribed Zofran.  I cannot praise this medication enough, within moments of her taking it, her sickness subsided and she continued through her chemotherapy taking only the Zofram and she was never sick again!!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This is my first colonoscopy and I was nervous about the bowel prep.  But was pleasantly surprised.  I just forced down the drink as fast as possible (4pm yesterday), just mixed it with water, I think mixing it with any other flavor would have made it worse.  I quickly chased it down with two big glasses of water over the next hour.  Had to be close to the toilet for sure, but no pain, and was finished about 2 hours after the first dose.  Have my second dose at 6am, it is 8.14am and I feel fine!  Have had to go to the bathroom quite a few time but clear.  I did fast for two days prior which I think really helps, so had broth and jello for two days (plus coffee and water and some apple juice).  Wish me luck."


"About 2 weeks after starting Humira, I started experiencing loss of bowel and bladder control;  I could no longer walk without a Rollator, could not do many daily tasks without assistance.  My feet felt like I was wearing concrete blocks.  Rheumatologist said it was "Ridiculous" to think these symptoms were associated with Humira.  Well, 18 months later, I went to another Dr., who said I had symptoms of "Transverse Myelitis", associated with Humira in some patients.  The bowel incontinence and mobility issues plus "concrete feet" went away within several DAYS."


"I gave it more than a 1 because it did prevent me from getting pregnant while I had it. I had mine for 7 years, then had it removed with hopes of starting a family. When I had it removed by my Dr, it broke, and only part of it came out. I don't want to scare you, I know many women who have loved their Paragards and had great experiences. But mine was not so great. The piece that did not come out was embedded in my uterus. I had to have it surgically removed. The surgery cost over $90,000 before insurance. It took us a year and a half to get pregnant. I had a bunch of fertility tests done, and my husband and I are both fine. I can't prove the difficulty is from this experience, but it is possible. That is my experience."


"I was on Yaz for years and absolutely adored it, but had to switch to the mini-pill when I found out estrogen pills could cause major medical issues with my tunnel-vision migraines. I have grown to truly enjoy this pill as well. I stopped getting my period after two months on the pill, and if it does show up, it usually only lasts a few days. I am naturally petite, but I didn't notice any weight gain that seemed usual. I do have to warn that the first month was very frustrating for me, seeing as I bled for three weeks, but this is also true for many other birth control pills!"


"I stared phentermine on March 21st I was 196lbs I take it every day first thing in the morning and then I eat breakfast 2 hrs later. I workout (cardio) 45 min 3 or 4 times a week. I have to say that I am not on a real diet I eat ice cream or pizza once in a while, 12 glasses of water every day and now 6 weeks later and lost 22lbs (now 174lbs) I feel great. Before I started this pill I was diagnosed diabetic! (25 years old) now my A1c is back to normal! And my blood pressure is perfect. I am still working on my cholesterol! I also had problems with my period after the weight loss is back to normal. I love the energy this pill gives me. But I've noticed the day I don't take the pill I get a terrible headache."


"I am 18, I have suffered from severe acne since I was 13. I tried everything and wasted my money on over the counter treatments that did absolutely nothing but dry up my skin. About 6 months ago I finally decided that I was tired of having acne and made an appointment with a dermatologist. I am so glad I did, she prescribed Doxycycline  Hyclate pills and Epiduo and explained how acne is like an infection. This medication worked like magic! Within 2 weeks of taking 2 pills every day and using Epiduo over night I saw results. I am still taking it and it has honestly been one of my best decisions yet. Trust me you will not regret it."


"I was on Cymbalta for 5 days. It helped my anxiety, but I couldn't handle the side effects: nausea, extreme sleepiness and yawning for the better part of the day, feeling zombie-like, chills, clenching my jaw, headache. I stopped taking it after 5 days, and the withdrawal was terrible. I felt like I'd been hit my a truck: terrible headache and clenching of jaw. And I'd only been on 30 mg for 5 days. Even if I could have tolerated the side effects, I would have been worried about the withdrawal."


"I recently switched off of this birth control after 10 months. I had no complaints for the first couple of months. My cup size increased from a 34B to a 36C. I am naturally prone to depression, so when I started to have suicidal ideation and deep depression I at first attributed it to my own mental state. After a few months, I finally realized that I consistently got my period in the week following the worst bouts of depression, leading me to believe that my birth control was at least partially responsible. I gained 20 pounds and experienced difficulty with motivation. I finally switched because I experienced two days of constant bleeding ("spotting") two weeks into my cycle for five months in a row."


"This medication has helped my anxiety a little, but not enough to make it manageable for me and worth taking. I have also experienced random trembling & muscle spasms. So, no for me."


"Awful Birth Control - If your doctor has prescribed this to you, please ask them to reconsider because it truly shouldn't even be on the market. Spotting, nausea, headaches, weight gain, are all a few side effects."


"Tamiflu made a miracle for me. It is my second time on Tamiflu (first one was two years ago). Both times I had classic flu symptoms. Felt the onset of great misery. Made hard effort to start taking Tamiflu ASAP - within first 12 hours. My understanding is that the time is crucial to the effectivenes. Both times I was practicaly cured within first 24 hours after. Only some tiredness remained for couple of days. No side effects in my case. I think lot of diarrhea  complains that people attribute to Tamiflu are in fact flu related- so they would have it anyway. Make sure to complete the whole course - otherwise flu can return."


"It's great grades came up from straight F's to B & C's."


"I started sleep walking on this medicine. My wife found me sitting on the kitchen floor with a bottle of her red wine and I'm told that I asked her if we were in San Francisco Or San Jose. This stopped my 28 years plus of continued sobriety. I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance they thought I might of had a stroke. I didn't. It was an Ambien blackout. I have a very close friend here in San Jose who owns a Recovery home. He told me that his place is filling up with people being pulled over driving around town in their Pajamas while thinking they are home in bed. Ambien might be great for some people, but for folks like me it has evil effects. Please be careful people."


"This medication didn't work for me. I've been on it for 3 months so far and 100mg. I haven't seen any results so far."


"Since about 7th grade I've been dealing with SUPER sweaty armpits.. I mean a water fountain. I would have to wear sweaters to school every day (even in summer). I avoided light colored shirts and anything tight fitting. I tried men's deodorants and every kind of women's deodorants out there.  Finally at age 19 I went to the doctor and embarrassingly told her of my sweat problem and she prescribed me Hypercare.  My first application itched and burned a little but the next morning I didn't sweat.  Last night was my second application and this morning it had a little rash (I'm not worried) but I think it's totally worth it if it keeps my sweat problem under control.  I should have gone to the doctor in like 8th grade!! Thank you doctors!"


"I just got Nexplanon 3 days ago and so far I'm loving it! It was free for me since I'm 17. Even though the experience has only been so short, many people were posting plenty of complaints on their experience of the insertion of implanted and the pain as well as the soreness they felt. For me it wasn't painful at all. The insertion was very quick and easy. My nurse went over the procedure and symptoms with me as well as having me take a pregnancy test before the insertion (even though I haven't had sex in over 2 months with my boyfriend). My arm isn't sore, but there is a tiny bruise forming. The only bad symptom is I've been eating a LOT, but I'm 105 lbs and never gain weight. So far I'm happy with the method."


"I have been waking up every 3 hours. Strange dreams and shakiness."


"I love this medicine. It has no side effects and after a week or two you WILL lose weight. The only thing I will say is that you should take it for 3 weeks on and then one or two weeks off. Once you quit and start back, it is just like when you began. It is a miracle drug."


"I have taken 50mg of trazodone with 7.5mg of Remeron, Zyprexa with excellent results. Waking up feeling rested, with no morning anxiety. I also take 75mg Effexor XR for daytime depression, it dose give me insomnia so the odd combination for sleep is extremely helpful 8-9 hrs sleep. I will be upping the dose of trazodone and getting rid of the other two as I think trazodone is the best. I have taken it in the past too with great results."


"Though I could only check the MDD box, I also suffered from anxiety attacks and social anxiety.  There were also several other problems that effexor XR seemed to control or help control.  Depression is painful emotionally, mentally and physically, without the some kind of relief I would have been institutionalized.  For maximum effectiveness, counseling by a person trained in all aspects of the disorder is the only one I found to help bring me back to a realistic understanding of how to heal.  Interestingly, I found several psychiatrists that attempted counseling and were totally inept in their efforts."


"Excellent for dealing with stress/ anxiety disorder if taken in proper doage (ie dosage prescribed)"


"Well! This is my first full week of mirena insertion and I am loving it so far. I was a bit skeptical with getting an IUD and it took me some time to get to the doc to have this done (4 months of thinking & review reading)! I didn't like the reviews that was out here so I began to get cold feet and not do it. BUT I really needed some form of BC. I have tried birth control pills for years and that was nice but it wasn't so nice because it raised my pressure! ( I was that 0.5% on the label I guess). However the procedure was standard it hurt like anything during insertion but no worst than cramps. Same day a lil bleeding but that went away the next day. After 3 days I was good to jog, have sex, swim , whatever! 5 yrs of NO worries, go 4 it !!"


"Due to the stress and anxiety over my parents' ill health and my need to provide caregiving to them, I wasn't sleeping. Had restless leg syndrome as well as just plain not being able to get to sleep. My doctor prescribed Zoloft for the anxiety, and lorazepam for my insomnia, which worked perfectly but I discovered that I can't take benzodiazapines because of random drug tests at work, so he switched me to mirtazapine, 30mg at night. It worked OK for 2 months but now I'm back to where I was before. With the lorazepam I didn't dream, I slept deeply and awoke refreshed and no hangover. With the mirtazapine, it's hard now to fall asleep, and I have strange dreams. Appetite has also increased horribly which defeats my weight loss goal."


"I've been taking this medication for three and a half weeks and I lost 8 lbs. My goal is to lose 50 lbs and I hope the medication works. I will keep you updated."


"I started taking mirtazapine 30mg five weeks ago and it has made such a difference to me. I also take 20mg Paxil but that had stopped helping with my depression. I have an anxiety disorder and also obsessive compulsive disorder, pure O.  I was zonked out by the Mirtazapine for about 10 days but after that the fog cleared and right from the word go my anxiety practically disappeared. I have had increased appetite and gained some weight but nothing to worry about, probably about 8 pounds. I am small and weigh now about 139 pounds.  The other side effect which was annoying was a bloated stomach and swollen feet but that has gone away over the past week. I would seriously give this medicine a good few months if you are suffering as I was, give it time."


"I was diagnosed 5 years ago with General anxiety disorder and panic disorder with mild agoraphobia. For the first few months I had no idea what was going on with me except that I knew I would get completely flustered and anxious and scared when I went out to do everyday things. I began worrying all the time about silly things and couldn't seem to shut my mind off enough to sleep and relax. My doctor diagnosed me and for a while I tried seeing just a therapist but eventually my panic attacks came back stronger and I decided on medication. I have tried three other medications all of which were not successful. I am 8 days in on Prozac and the side effects have been pretty bad but I have hope. Today was much calmer for me."


"I would definitely try this for migraines if you haven't already.  I had used Imitrex pills for a few years and suddenly they stopped working.  I tried a couple different pills and then found Maxalt.  The only problem with the pills is that I have to take them right away.  Once the migraine has started they don't take away all the pain, only like 60% for me.  I was on Maxalt for a few years, then put on Cymblata and didn't have migraines for 2 years on that, but then they came back and Maxalt didn't help me...  Now I use Imitrex Statdose because I never catch my migraine until it's terrible but the injections get rid of the pain fast!"


"Never a problem."


"I was perscribed Lyrica for my fibromyalgia.  The first pill made me very dizzy and nauseous.  The second pill woke me up at 3am (I took it at 9:30 pm) with a terrible headache.  I will not be taking anymore.  The irony is ALL of my pain is gone.  I cannot live with the side effects though.  "


"I started on 10mg of Lexapro and thought I'd struck gold with how much it improved my quality of life - I was only surviving before on Zoloft, but with Lexapro I felt alive for the first time in decades. Unfortunately, after a couple of years I found the effects started to wear off, so I went up to 20mg. Same thing happened again - felt fantastic , but after a couple of years the effects started wearing off again. I tried Cymbalta - no good for me, then tried Pristiq 50mg, then 100mg then 150mg. No good for me either. I've gone back to Lexapro again - have worked my way up to 20mg in the last 2 weeks, and am feeling so much better for it. If the effects wear off again I'll go up to 30mg Lexapro. It's the best one I've found for me so far."


"I was on NuvaRing for 4 months before I decided to go off it. The best part was that it made me lose all of the water weight I had gained on another type of birth control. However, within a few days of inserting the ring, I noticed a HUGE change in my moods. I would feel angry for no reason (like PMS) all throughout the month, I would cry at the drop of a hat, and I started feeling anxious 24/7. My husband could also feel the ring when we had sex, so I would take it out and then put it back in later which can get annoying. I also experience a lot more discharge than normal. NuvaRing is NOT for me."


"I have had nerve pain for years. I've had 3 back surgeries from 2011-2014. Also FM and MPS diagnosed in mid 1990s. PAIN has controlled my life for years. I have been on all the opiates and muscle relaxers and anti-anxiety drugs and Neurontin, etc that doctors thought might help. I am very sensitive to medications and the side effects from anti-depressants cause more depression than relief. So, to try another drug was scary for me. I saw a Rheumatologist, and he dx my Arthritis called DISH in my spine. He recommended Lyrica. I finally saw my PCP MD and said let's try this drug. From the 1st pill I had almost total nerve pain relief. I am so amazed! After all these years I feel wonderful. The side effect of being "Happy" has been a new feeling"


"This stuff should be fully illegal. I spent the whole night dealing with this nightmare, much like everyone else here. Unbearable itching and burning, called my mom sobbing. Couldn't fall asleep for hours until I numbed with an ice pack directly on my vag. ITS THAT BAD. RUN. Can't believe I did this to myself."


"I have many, many medication allergies and extremely sensitive skin. With any antibiotic therapy, I always end up with a yeast infection. :(
I take Diflucan 150 mg by mouth for 7 days - it's just the regimen that works for me. I've tried it on many different schedules.
I also mix COLD water and 7 drops of tea tree oil in a peri bottle and rinse area several times daily. Tea tree oil is a natural antibacterial and the oil soothes skin. Imperative the water is cold, as warm or hot will cause increased itching and irritation. Make sure you dry area very well by blotting only or use hair dryer on cool setting.
I always take RX before bed to sleep thru any side effects!"


"The taste is disgusting. Every mouthful I'd have made me gag so I had to have a drink straight after taking it. After around two hours I couldn't keep off the toilet and was like this through the night. Definitely cleared me out!!"


"Got painful red, skin welts. Immediately stopped medication."


"Slow to start off, did not help being only on 15mg for first 2 weeks. I ate loads and roughly put on 10 pounds now however 2 weeks later and up to 30mg not eating as much and can control my eating feel more energized and not as glum and moody. More active."


"This "medicine" is awful!"


"Didn't see any reviews from a woman, so here goes: my husband and I are elderly, and we still LIKE sex! However, due to the effects of aging, our sex life has been less than satisfactory in recent years. After his annual physical last week, he talked about his erectile dysfunction with his MD. Long story short, he got Cialis, second day of taking it, we had the best sex we've had in years! No side effects, two very happy over 70's, and this is for real."


"Zarah has been okay. I first started on the pill about 5 months ago and it helped a little with my cramps that were horrible before I started the pill. However, I noticed some weight gain and realized that I have horrible mood swings. My period isn't much lighter than before, and my period doesn't come until a few days after I start taking the sugar pills. It definitely decreased my sex drive a lot and I started getting a lot of discharge every day."


"When I read the comments about Prozac I believe that most of the good ones are from people who are still on them or took them for a short period of time. The review should include the withdrawal.

I was given Prozac 14 years ago for anxiety I was not depressed. It worked well for anxiety, I tried to come off them many times and suffered what I thought was a return of anxiety but was in reality withdrawal. Since coming off completely  2 years ago I have been destroyed mentally and physically. My cognition is very poor I have serious vision problems and dizziness and agitation and  I'm in constant pain. my pharmacologist and neurologist are in agreement"


"I have been on Rexulti for a little over 2 months. I started on 0.5 mg the first week and moved up to 1.0 mg the second week. I am taking it as an add-on to my Lexapro 40mgs for MDD. My depression was almost immediately better, but by the second week my anxiety was HORRIBLE!! I began getting sores in my mouth from the constant movement of my tongue. It's uncontrollable, as is the eye blinking. I stay tired from my body being tense 24/7. My Dr took my dosage down to 0.5 mg and increased my Ativan but I'm still not doing any better. I'm fixing to stop it completely. I pray that the issues with my tongue and eyes will go away once I stop taking it."


"I've been on Seasonique for a year now and absolutely love it. The only things that I've experienced are a little bit of cramping around the time I would normally have a period, but nothing too bad. I have gotten a little more emotional since being on the pill and have had a small acne issue around my jawline, which I had never had before, but nothing that bad. My sex drive did go down a bit in the first couple of months, but then I was back to normal. I highly recommend Seasonique to anyone who's considering it for birth control. I mean, you can't beat only four periods a year. "


"Been on the shot for 6yrs Doctor told me I've been on it to long so I didn't get my last shot in July, still waiting for my period and they don't know what to tell me when I ask how long. Never had acne before, now I do and definitely gained weight. As a birth control I love it. Never had a period and don't remember to have to take daily pill."


"Took one, waited about 45 minutes, there was some minor cramping right before I had to go, went to the bathroom and was hard pushing it out but it did come and now I feel so relieved and overall would recommend it."


"Was prescribed 10 mg for cystitis 1 pill one hour before bed time. After taking the second pill I got severe anxiety attack which led me down on the road of developing GAD and panic disorder. I did not know what was happening to me why I felt so hyper and kind of sick, had heart palpitations, like I had a ton of coffee. The morning I still felt severe anxiety, called the doctor, made appointments to figure it out what is wrong with me. I started loosing weight because I lost my appetite and I guess all the worry created more worries and eventually panic attacks. It may work for others but be very careful when trying it the first time."


"This drug does well for the purpose it was prescribed for: reduction of anxiety.  However I commonly suffer from sleep walking, sleep motions and even talking.  This drug really kicked all of that into overdrive.  I spend the night having nightmares and constantly waking myself and my girlfriend up because I will scream at the top of my lungs as well as kick and punch the bed.  If you have sleep issues like me I would not recommend it.  If you do not then I would recommend it."

"I have been on this pill for about 4 months and it has been helpful. My cramping has gotten less severe and I don't seem to be experiencing any side effects. My acne has gotten better, and my breast are occasionally sore but nothing to extreme. There has been no change in my sex drive my only issue is that I miss my period occasionally."


"Hi there I started taking this medicine in may and then i was at 285 and now im at 279.5"


"This is the first method of birth control I ever used, and it worked fantastically. I love not having to worry about a pill every day. During the first week of use, I cried a lot, and I felt like it was for no reason.  However, this was also the first week after I moved out of my house that I grew up in, so I am willing blame the move for the weepiness.  The only other thing that I could even dream of complaining about is that it caused a slight amount of discharge.  It's not enough to cause any problems though, or really even any inconvenience.

I never had any breakthrough bleeding, weight gain, moodiness beyond that first week, NO real issues.  I suggest this to anyone who can't keep up with the pill, or even if they can!"


"I have a long history with kidney stones and have been on every pain killer there is. Toradol is the only medicine that takes the pain away!"


"My reaction to Humira seems to be unusual. Within 2 hours of each injection I would sleep so soundly I was not wakened even by drilling in the next room. I generally wanted to do nothing but sleep for about 36 hours after each injection and overall I was unnaturally sleepy while on the medication. For the first 2 days after each injection I experienced burning joints and a flu-like feeling with more prominent pain in my lower back. The only positive symptom was experiencing less nausea than I did prior to treatment. It was a relief to stop and "wake up"."


"Been using this now, doctor recommended last 3 months. I like the 150mg cooling mint Zantac. I have exhausted all other options, I'm eating smaller healthier meals every 2-3 hours and added even more exercise to my exercise plan but still have the GERD. I take this usually right after my dinner and right before bed if needed. It works wonders. During the day, I take ONE 20mg famotidine (Pepcid AC) usually in between my breakfast and lunch at work and that gets me through until after dinner."


"I was on this medicine for 2 days (I know, I should have had more time). I had so many side effects I can't mention them all here but I just felt awful. I called my Doctor and they said it's not for me. There were to many side effects and that was only 2 days on it."


"I am 52 years old and after having difficulty with urinary flow, multiple bathroom trips per night , I finally went to the doctor for the dreaded check.  After no serious issues were found, my doctor suggested Rapaflo.  He forewarned me about the anejaculation, but said I would still have the sensation associated with ejaculation.  After about a month, the sensation has ceased to exist. "


"I bought Tiger balm over the counter to help ease my shoulder and neck pain and possibly to try on my back as I get stiff and feel constant pain due to a previous back injury. I use this ontop of strong medication (after consulting the gp)  to help my muscle pain. It leaves a cold tingly feeling if you use it on a large area but it doesn't last long, helped the flexibility in my back and eased off the muscle pain in my neck and shoulders. It lasts for a few hours and doesn't smell too bad. I have the red ointment one with cinnamon in and its not an unpleasant smell. The balm does stick to your fingers a bit and takes a bit of scrubbing to get off. But overall a very good option for topical pain/joint medication. Would recommend trying!"


"This is a great medicine for those it helps. It really changed my life around. It has helped me so much to be more comfortable with having Asperger Syndrome and to deal with all the associated issues (OCD, depression, etc). It's literally saved my life. I do recommend trying this medicine as if it works for you, it's worth trying."


"I started this birth control a few days ago and been dealing with bad cramps, stomach pain, and tightness in my stomach when I yarn or cough. It's just so awful that I stayed in bed most of the day. I discontinued it today and going on another birth control that I love and had no side effects. My doctor switched me to Cryselle despite me telling her I want to stay on the other one, now she switched me back. Not trying to scare anyone but it's best you avoid this medicine."


"I have had this implant for a little over a month now. When inserted, I began feeling the effects later that day. Already was I experiencing mood swings. It wasn't until a week or two later that I began falling into a sort of depression. For a whole month I was incredibly sad. I cried everyday. I'm going through a rough time in my life right now, & I couldn't have gotten this inserted at a worse time. It made everything so much more difficult and had a big effect on my relationship. Around the time I would normally get my period, I began to spot for two weeks straight. It was a brownish color. Then, i got my period right after. The only positive about this thing is that I haven't gotten pregnant. Otherwise, I'm getting it removed asap"


"I started taking trazadone (100mg) 10 years ago. It worked like a charm for sleep. I'd sleep a good 7 hours, and had no hang over effects. A few weeks ago it just stopped working. So my doctor raised the dose to 300mg. I feel so much better mentally. But, it's still not keeping me asleep. I go to sleep for about 2 hours then I'm up once every hour. I miss my good sleep so much!"
