"I just started Seasonique almost two months ago.  For about the first five weeks, it was fine and I didn't have a period or spotting.  Although, for the last three weeks I've been bleeding like a normal period.  Also, ever since I started taking it, my libido is really low and I simply have no sex drive.  My gyno says that the bleeding is just my body getting used to the new drug, but honestly, a three week period."


"This drug has saved my life. I tried reducing slowly, but my anxiety had come back. Without Paxil I had severe anxiety that was just awful. Could not function or work or anything. Paxil has brought my life back to me."


"If you value your skin at all, don't even bother with Nexplanon. I've never had acne in my life until I got the implant. It's horrible and won't go away. Not to mention I get my period sporadically 2-4 times a month. Save yourself the hassle, avoid this at all costs."


"I started using birth control for heavy periods senior year of high school. I first used enkysence and it gave me bad nausea and horrible acne. I switched to this and I am on my fourth pack. It keeps my periods lighter and doesn't make me break out. The only problem I have had is if I don't take it within two hours of the time I take it everyday I will start having light bleeding. I don't get nausea and only had mood swings the first week."


"I don't know what to say yet.  I realized I may have been borderline when they informed it was possible during being hospitalized when I was 14, I believe it has lead to me be entirely miserable and out of control since I was 10.  I'm 30 now, I've wasted 20 years of my life wishing for either salvation or death always.  I would give anything to be in control of myself and to stop hurting those I love.  I want more than anything to save my 10 year long relationship.  I'm so good to him.  I'm so bad to him.  I'm four days in and feel nothing yet.  I feel hopeless and do not think anything will ever work.  I will rate a 7 so it doesn't unfairly throw off the ratings, but if Latuda does not work for me I wonder if my only option is to give up."


"I've tried absolutely everything from nerve pills to antidepressants to help my pain and this is the only thing that works. Of course my doctors. Want to take it away after 11 years because of all of the recent headlines."


"Because of weight issues, my doctor decided Lamictal was the only way to go because it wasn't supposed to cause weight gain.  While they just upped my dosage to a therapeutic amount, I can say my friends noticed a difference at lower dosages.  It really does make a difference and I'm hoping at the current dosage, I completely even out.  I also take Paxil (my depression was severe when I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder) and Xanax.  I do choose to take the Lamictal in the evenings because it makes me very groggy."


"I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for about 2 months. Couldn't continue with them due to the side effects. I was terribly hormonal and I wanted to eat everything in sight. I cried all the time and everything made me upset and moody. At the time I was 17 (now 18), 5'4" and about 118lbs. It made me gain weight and go up to 126lbs that I now have trouble getting rid of. Hope this helps!"


"My doctor recommended a gildess fe 1/20 when I complained of the water retention I experienced from Ortho Tri Cyclen (which left my skin clear). Well, this pill does not cause bloating but my skin immediately broke out terribly along my cheeks, jawline & chin. I decided to stick it out since aside from the acne I had no other side effects but the breakouts lasted way longer than I anticipated (about 6 mo). I still get the occasional pimple along the jawline but I'm hoping that they will become less frequent. Taking evening primrose oil (1300mg 2x/day) along with the pill seems to help calm inflammation and lessen hyper-pigmentation from the breakouts ."


"This medicine defentaly helped me to stop my hands from shaking.But after around 8 months of taking the pill (which is how long I have been taking it) the medication is pretty non effective.I have decided that I need a stronger medication.One more thing to add is that the pill helped to stop me angina like chest pains"


"After having my daughter in Feb 2010 I received the paragaurd IUD after almost 8 yrs I finally had it removed this week Nov 2017. Basically it was horrible bleeding heavily, cramping horribly was how my past 7 yrs have been. It Never subsided like I was told it would. Lots of painful ovulation that had me on the bathroom floor and my pain tolerance is substantial or so I believe as I'm covered heavily in tattoos. Anyway it was so bad super plus tampons/overnight pads combined only lasted 20mins before bleeding through. I was bedridden monthly I have had tons of medical issues I've now found out is due to copper toxicity. I now suffer from infections cysts on ovaries hormonal imbalance & toxicity"


"I have tried Ambien, Cymbalta, Clonazepam, etc for insomnia.  All have had the opposite effect - keeping me awake worse than if I hadn't taken anything.  Nothing has helped me sleep as well as Vistaril, with no side effects.  I wake up refreshed every morning without any fatigue."


"I started Saxenda on 4/28/17 at the recommendation of my doctor for weight loss. I have kept at the 0.6mg dosage and will not increase weekly rather every 14 days or so. I am tired and weak, extremely thirsty, my appetite is non existent. I try stay within 800-1000 calories a day but some days are harder than other to reach this goal. I have found if I have any carbs it makes me extremely nauseous and dizzy, I can no longer tolerate dairy it makes very sick to my stomach and gives me a terrible stomach ache. Constipation comes and goes. But so far as of today 5/7/17 I am down 8.5 lbs. I mostly snack all day on healthy fruits and veggies and have a small salad with chicken as my "big" meal. I will add 30-45 mins of walking a few times a week."


"Been taking Rytary for 5 months.  First was on 3 pills 3 times a day and did really well.  The last 2 months it has been 3 pills 4 times a day.  I have been feeling agitated, nervous, seeing things that are not there and thinking my home is the place I used to work.  I am afraid of hurting my wife and have terrible night dreams.  I feel I have no where to turn for help.  I only see a PA when I go to the doctor and she just gives me more medicine some of which has very serious side effects and has recommended DBS.  These symptoms are a daily occurrence and I hope it is not the drug."


"I have been on this BC for 4 months and I have not gotten pregnant, lost my sex drive or gained weight from it. I have been more emotional and down than normal and I think it has to do with this bc. My acne has also become wayyyyyyyyyyyy worse. I sometimes get I twinge of pain in my arm and also sometimes get aches in my lady area and also had pain the first 2 times of having sex on it, but it hasn't been a problem since then. I had two light periods at my regular times and some spotting when I first started but I haven't had a period since then. I hate the side effects but not having to take a pill has been amazing. If I can get my acne to go away by using a dermatologist I'd say it's worth it."


"I was on Lupron twice for endometriosis.  The first time I had hot flashes and headaches, after I got off they went away.  The second time I had the same side effects, except when I got off of Lupron the headaches did not go away and turned into migraines.  Now I have had migraines for 16 years since being off of Lupron.  I was never plagued with headaches before Lupron.  My doctor said I always had the trigger for migraines and Lupron flipped the switch on.  If I knew then what I know now, I would have taken a different approach to treating my endometriosis.  Having endometriosis and migraines together was worse.  Now I'm in menopause and going through everything to the nth degree."


"Public speaking has been a huge issue for me for years. Even introducing myself was an experience that I would dread for weeks out of I knew I had to do it. I've always thought that one day I would adjust and get over it, but I never did. I would lose my breath, forget what I needed to say, sweat, heart rate would sky rocket, etc. my doctor prescribed me this yesterday. I had to speak today, so I tried it for the first time. I still felt somewhat nervous when I was just about to get up, but when I did i found I was able to get a sentence out because my breath was taken from me. I was able to recall the information I needed. I feel like I'm going to be able to as successful as I should be now that I've defeated what has become my worse enemy"


"I used Divigel for a few weeks.  I've been having pre menopause symptoms.   I had a hysterectomy but still have my ovaries.  During this time I started having severe stomach pains and my ovaries hurt.  The doctor performed a ultrasound.   I couldn't believe the pain.  The doctor told me that I may need my ovaries removed.  I decided to stop using Divigel and the pain stopped.

I wouldn't recommend this medication."


"Went to a therapist who suggested Xanax and the doctor refused to do that and gave me Zoloft so I gave it a shot. First week was hell, was falling asleep sitting up which I had never done before. I was tired, sick feeling, and dizzy among other side effects. Once these subsided my panic attacks stopped, however I was sleeping 20 hours at a time, waking up then four hours later going back to sleep another 20 hours. I did notice I became better in social situations yet I lost interest in things I enjoyed doing and left the house even less than before. I have been diagnosed with GAD, panic disorder, agoraphobia, social anxiety, major depression, dermatillomania, and trichtotillomania. Not worth the negatives to fix only a few of these."


"I've had it for a year now, I'm 23 and have not had kids. Months 1-3 sucked  seriously, I was miserable, had no energy, still got my period, felt sick, loss of appetite etc.. After about 4 months it got a little better. I do love that you don't have to worry about it for 3 years, I loved my old BC but taking the pills every day at the same time was a bit annoying. Now after almost exactly 1 year all my month 1-3 side effects are back. Sick feeling, tired (I could sleep all day and night, some days I have) I'm highly considering getting this thing out of me! I've read a lot about people having way more energy as soon as they got it out. (Keep in mind every woman's body will react differently)"


"My 7yo son has had ADHD since he was a toddler.  He started taking ADHD meds at the age of 3-- three months before turning 4.  He was already threatened to be taken out of preschool for his behavior.  He's always had an I don't care attitude, very destructive unintentionally, couldn't even sit down to watch any TV show longer than 5 minutes.  We had the hardest time finding a punishment that he actually feared until a therapist gave us 1-2-3 magic to watch--it worked!  We started him on Vyvanse, but he had 6 side effects from it. He got switched to Focalin as he grew he's now switched to Focalin XR and now up to 40mg in the morning and at lunch 5mg to get him through the day.  We love it, but it doesn't last long."


"Started taking venlafaxine 75mg XR dose 4 days ago, starting on second day I was very energetic, talkative, and had dilated pupils. I think this means I am manic. I like being this way rather than being depressed and lying in bed all day. Its kind of fun to feel happy again. I have had a couple of bad headaches since I started. Have to see if they continue."


"I finally found a medication that controls my hives. Ever since I was a kid I have ben battling hives that come and go every couple of years. Its the type where my face swells and hives all over. I've been through prednisone treatments and several other medicines that make me drowsy. Nothing works like Allegra. Definitely worth the price."


"I only take when needed but helps the pain alot."


"This is miracle !!! life saver it is the best for sweating hands and feet after only 4 days of using this crazy unbelievable thing , I don't sweate anymore thanks god now I can feel as a normal people no more shit sweating"


"I had tried Armour thyroid, Synthroid DAW, compounded T3/T4, cytomel and Tirosint was able to control my TSH, T3 and T4 much more than the other drugs.  I haven't needed to make many adjustments at all on the medication.  I did lose a few pounds in the first month of switching to Tirosint as well."


"I lost 65 lbs in about 6 months with Diethylpropion, along with exercising and eating healthy. It really made a difference in helping me lose the weight. I maintained my weight for over a year without the medicine by exercising regularly and watching what I ate, but I haven't been very good about my routine lately and just found out I gained 20 lbs over the last 6 months so I just got a new prescription again."


"I have been taking this for pneumonia,

2 days NO results. I feel worse this evening than I did when I went to the Dr."


"I am a 24 yrs old female.
I was on this medicine for 4 years
400mg
The weight gain side effect was bad...
I from 52kg I went to 83kg
I was drowsy Everyday
my pupils were dilated I looked like a crazy person...
The worst side effect was that I couldn't walk suddenly... and it happened twice during my 4 years...
I couldn't walk for 2 weeks for both
And it caused a lot of inconvenience
And It's also very pricey...
BUT it did help me with my mood.
My emotional anger and tears outburst were better
And when your less emotional you are less likely to cut yourself
I really miss taking this medicine
My new doctor stopped it and he won't allow me to take it and my mum is also against it because of its side effects."


"This combination really helps me control my cough at night so that I am able to get a good night's rest."


"Was put on Topamax for migraines a year and a half ago, I have had maybe one or two headaches since being on this medicine compared to the weekly migraines I was having before the Topamax AND I am down 80 pounds. I only take 100mg a day. I was just diagnosed with bipolar 1 and after reading this forum I am going to talk to my doctor and see if upping my dose will help with that since I've seen that it is helping all of you. I am feeling quite confident that this could be my medicine of choice for multiple ailments.
Good luck to all in your search."


"The only symptom I had not had from the flu was vomiting. I brought the Tamiflu home and took a pill. Within an hour I was feeling very nauseated I tried my best to ignore it and keep my stomach down, but within another hour I was in the bathroom vomiting horribly. Continued the entire night. Now the next morning I still cannot hold down anything. $100 down the drain, can't even take it"


"There are coupons for Movantik but you can't use them if you are on Medicare or if you don't have insurance. This is first coupon I have seen that you can't bypass your insurance (because your insurance doesn't cover it or you need p/a) and just pay cash. My doctor wants me to try this medication. I have been taking Tramadol which is a synthetic narcotic for chronic pain. I am allergic to all opoids and have major sensitivities to many other medications. After reading the reviews I think I will keep working with buffered Vitamin C crystals and Magnesium Citrate capsules. I had stopped taking all the supplements doctors had me on when the major constipation started but started working w/ these since they cause diarrhea. Prune juice too"


"I am 35 years of age and  have had open heart surgery. Now get supra ventricular attacks. Not as often as before. The medicine worked great for me. It depends on the person... all I know is it worked."


"I'm in recovery from substance abuse for years and this is the first thing that has really worked for me."


"I just started this medication over two weeks ago and am already seeing massive improvement. No more mania, very little depression. I have focus and energy, my mood is great most days. It even helped with irritable bowel syndrome. For the first few days I felt like a zombie, but that side effect has gone. I still have a massive temptation to eat everything in the house, but I am controlling it and changing my diet to minimize weight gain.

This medicine was a minor miracle to me. I've never felt so good in all my life."


"I would have to say that it has helped in dealing with pain. I was diagnosed at the age of 11 with JRA (Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis). I have been on the 10mg tablets for about 4 years now. Since then I have had severe carpel tunnel, bursitis, tendinitis, gout, bakers cyst on the back of both knees and the arthritis is now in hips and ankles.  I take them twice a day and have Percocet for breakthrough pain. I am currently 38 and have had one total knee replacement and am now trying to save to have the other knee done."


"The first time I took it, I did manage to lose 5 pounds in a month. Unfortunately, I gained it all back after I went off it.

My doctor put me on it again. I managed to lose three pounds in the first day. Unfortunately, that seems to be it. It's frustrating because although I am not hungry, my weight sometimes will go up by a pound throughout the day. I assuming this is water retention. I do walk at least 10,000 steps daily and am on my feet.

I used to take Adderall for ADHD and I think that drug has ultimately destroyed my metabolism."


"I was very worried about implantation because I am terrified of needles, but it was relatively quick and painless. In the beginning I did have irregular periods, but they were light and that did not last long at all, and now I haven't gotten my period in about 6 months. And I don't have to worry about remembering anything. I am very pleased with my decision."


"Norvasc caused extreme leg and ankle edema and did not improve hypertension much. After 6 weeks of use I was put on lisinopril and within 2 days had no more leg swelling and blood pressure lowered greatly. So far so good on new medication."


"I was an Celexa until my doctor decided to switch me to Pristiq due to some unwanted side effects that Celexa brings. After a week of being on it I literally lost my mind. I became extremely suicidal. I was very hostile and irritable. I immediately went back to the doctor and he put me back on Celexa and I'm happy with it."


"Just started taking for IBS, diarrhea this is just the second week.  Have a few mild side effects but nothing intolerable."


"Definitely research before you start this. I didn't because my dr prescribed it and I thought they wouldn't give me something this awful. I've gotten 4 shots and am just now realizing all the issues I've had are because of it. I have no sex drive extremely moody and have had weight gain and eat right and work out daily. I'm a happy person and have been irritable and short tempered since I've been getting the shot. I highly recommend researching anything but especially shots because once you get that shot its in your system and you have to wait for it to get out"


"Taking abilify about 10 years. Does cause weight gain and for myself no sexual desire.  The swings from manic to depression continue but are manageable.  Do not take yourself off this drug "cold turkey".  Caused many psychotic episodes for me which disappeared when returning to the drug.  Sad movies no longer make me cry. Don't have great joyful moments either.  I don't stagger around like when I was on lithium.  I do have hypertension not always controlled by the 3 antihypertensive I'm taking."


"I'm on my second Mirena and I think it's great! The first one I got, took a long time to stop spotting.. I was frustrated and wanted it out. My doctor's office, suggested waiting, and giving it a chance. I'm really happy I listened! Each month, it got better. Those beginning days, are so far behind me now.. I haven't had any problems, at all.. Definitely worth it!"


"Once the Cluster Headache begins, it takes 11 minutes for the medication to kick in and eliminate the headache for me."


"i had bowel surgery in 2006 to remove an early tumour . i have had constipation for over 50 years . i walk have a good diet and try to drink the recommended fluids daily but sometimes my work schedule makes this difficult . my bowel motions are usually hard and difficult to pass and i usually go to the toilet once or twice a week . i have tried movicol which is effective but takes too long to work . Dulcolax does for me what it says overnight releif , however i usually need two . there is some cramping but i can cope with that as i know my bowels are working effectively ."


"It works pretty good for me."


"I'm 26 years old, healthy, 128 lbs, never been pregnant, but I was an egg donor 4x.  I have been off of birth control for about 4 years. My insertion was not a great experience. I forgot to take ibuprofen, and all I had was 2 Tylenol in my car. I also didn't eat breakfast. Felt the needle and some pressure, followed by a few cramps. It wasn't unbearable, just uncomfortable for 5 minutes. I got very dizzy and hot and bled a lot after. I wish I had taken the day off because I was bloated and just uncomfortable all day. Also had to wear a pad. The first week was just annoying with the spotting and cramping. I'm 2 weeks in, and still spotting with random cramping. Sex life is so much better without worrying about birth control/pregnancy!"


"I really like Novolog 70/30. Before using this I was using just Novolog.  My sugars seem to finally be on the normal side for a change. I had been running from 200 to 400 on my blood sugars and ever since I started the new insulin I find myself more below 150. I have to even watch my sugars since sometimes they go down to 57.  I now find myself eating smaller meals more often since my sugar are more under control. I eat 3 meals and 2 snacks a day."


"After feeling constipated for about 2 weeks - went to bathroom but only a marble or two worth come out. I got super keen and took four dulcolax tablets. As a person who doesn't read instructions. I'm kinda wishing I did. I took them about 3pm today with a bit of water and about 10:15 pm as I was just about to doze off and BAM!! I have never run for a toilets so fast, after stacking it over some toys (while trying to not wake everyone up) I managed to pick my bursting butt up and drag it to the toilet. Needless to say I did no pushing whatsoever even though the pain was unbearable. I feel maybe I should have drank more water so my insides didn't feel like they were being shafted with a big black rubber fist. Not for the feint hearted."


"I'm nearing the end of my 4th month on this pill. It was the first birth control I've been on. Prior to taking this pill I always had acne problems. My first month on Lo Loestrin Fe was absolutely horrible acne-wise. I even developed a large cyst on my forehead (yikes!). It went away in a few weeks. I'd say after the first 2 months my acne was back to normal and now it's beginning to get better. I see a lot of girls talking about how horrible it makes their acne but my dermatologist said give it 6 months and see. Try and wait it out, it will probably get better. I had no side effects aside from the acne. 2 periods last month, but I'm assuming my body is still getting used to it."


"I've been on Alesse for 2 months and my experience with it has been absolutely horrible. Cramps everyday, breakthrough bleeding, acne, sore breasts, frequent urination, back pain, nausea, bloating, anxiety and depression. Probably the worst birth control someone could possibly go on!!"


"For 25 years I have had debilitating periods.  Most months the cramping so severe I would need vicadin and tons of motrin. After several OBs suggesting a hysterectomy, another 2 an ablation, this last one prescribed TA. I can't believe I had never heard of it. I have gone from filling a diva cup every hour or two for 2-3 days, do barely needing a pad. This is a GODSEND for me. I have a life. I'm not completely exhausted, and I went to the lake ALL DAY on day 2 of my period.  Now I need to work on getting my ferritin levels back up! I'm hopeful."


"I'm a junior in high school and I've been struggling with depression, I've been on atleast 4 different medicines already and this one seemed to be good. But recently I had to be taken out of school for extreme nausea and vomiting, and it's only been a few weeks."


"After one week, I went from having diarrhea 6- 8 times a day to normal movements twice (average) a day.  What a Godsend!"


"I am a really happy person and this drug made me depressed. I did not want to hang out with my friends and I would randomly cry. Do not do it.  It does not even help with your ADHD"


"I used to be in a rage all day long but now after taking 100 MG of Seroquel twice daily and 200 MG at night along with Depakote i'm doing great best medicine i have ever been on."


"I started Celexa last April after having tried numerous other antidepressants. It took a good 6 weeks for me to really get the full effect of the medication, but it has changed my life.  I found it to be subtle, effective, and lasting without any side effects. I really think it's a matter of your personal brain chemistry whether an antidepressant will work for you.  It's worth it to keep trying to find one that fits for you."


"My Psoriasis started in my sophomore year in college (1985). Every year, my condition has gotten progressively worse. I've tried everything from PUVA, steroids, coal tar, Methotrexate, Enbrel, Humira & more.  I've had success with the biologics, but got very ill with sinus infections on both Enbrel and Humira (so bad that I got vertigo and had to go to hospital via ambulance). I took 2 years off and now just started Stelara (had my "booster" second shot yesterday).  My dermatologist is shocked how I've cleared already!  This is a miracle and any person out there who can take it, should.  I'm also sleeping so much better during the night-- not scratching in my sleep!  Good luck and hopefully one day, we'll have a cure for this dreadful disease."


"It is absolutely amazing the way it works."


"I think this product works to some extent. It isn't a magic bullet for me, but maybe cuts down on the length of a cold sore by perhaps 2 days. It is quite expensive for the extremely tiny amount of product you get. I would caution against buying the pump version of this product, it dispenses far too much of the preciously priced cream and you end up wasting it. Buy the old fashioned squeeze tube instead and apply as directed."


"I was diagnosed with a staph infection and prescribed bactrim DS. It has not had any effect on the infection after five days. In fact it has gotten worse. It makes me shake and I can't seem to think straight."


"I recently got this form of birthcontrol after my paragard painfully was rejected from my body. I didn't want to go with hormones because of side effects like weight gain. I take antidepressants so I was skeptical. I've had this for about 2 months now and aside from spotting I love it, I'm actually losing weight, my mood swings and depression is actually becoming better. The only side effects that I'm experiancing is the spotting, and I'm always tired but I rather take that them worrying constantly about being pregnant or checking for strings or taking a pill everyday. I know the spotting with subside after my body becomes more accustomed to this"


"I also had a very bad reaction to this medication!"


"Allergic to Morphine. After major injury accident doctor hooked up IV Toradol and it was Heaven. Could not feel anything from the nose down. Perhaps I'm overly sensitive but it was a real relief."


"I have been fighting my sinus infection for over 5 years now. Have been on different antibiotics through all those years. Just for the past 7 months I have been on antibiotics about 5 times (mostly Zithromax). It seems like the relief was for a couple of days and within a week my sinus would be stronger then previous. This time I went to the doctor and he put me on levofloxacin 500 for 7 days. I am on day 5 and I feel at least 65 % better. My nasal area feels more dry and much less mucus is coming out. I also have a strong bronchitis. My head and breathing cleared up. I am still coughing though, but not as much as I used to. I tend to have difficulty waking up in the morning but hope it will be better as the treatment finishes."


"I am 18 years old and started Effexor 3 months ago for anxiety. It has given me my life back, I used to have a hard time even leaving the house, now I enjoy life. I haven't been this happy in a long time. I don't think I would ever quit taking it. The first week I had the shakes, felt nausea, had headaches and had no appetite. The side effects went away and now I don't have any at all. I am so grateful, its changed my life for the better."


"I'm a former paramedic with Complex-PTSD, and I've been taking Prazosin for one year to help with my nightmares. I used to kick and scream during my nightmares. I woke up so sweaty I had to change during the night, and sleep in a different spot. I still have nightmares, but they aren't terrifying like they used to be. I no longer have night sweats. My only beef is with the major dizziness and tachycardia the following morning. I've tried stopping these meds because of the side-effects, but trust me: the benefits far outweigh them."


"I am in my 20's and deteriorated rapidly over a day coughing terribly, joint aches, migraine, very high fever that I couldn't get down with anything while feeling cold and shaking amongst other symptoms. After being up most of the night I went to the doctor and was told it's the flu - tested as well. I was prescribed tamiflu and it's already helping me so much my fever is much more manageable and although I'm still very sick I was able to sleep all night without severe temperature changes. I also suffer from chronic nausea and I know this medicine can make you feel nauseous, but I have had no problems with it at all (I am surprised). I would certainly recommend this treatment if you catch it in time."


"My 9 year old son has ADHD. Kapvay was the seventh medicine that we have tried to help him with impulsivity and concentration. He has been on this medicine for nearly one year. We switched to Focalin last month but the tics came back and the restlessness at night. His school performance was no better than before so we are back to Kapvay. Since the medicine must build up in the bloodstream to be highly effective, we are in the very sleepy stages but I know this will pass as soon as his body is accustomed to the medicine.

I have learned my lesson. There is no stimulant that will help my son. Kapvay will help reduce the impulsivity but improvement to concentration must come from age and proper training."


"Fantastic results! But tried to stop them twice and acne came back after few month :( so had to start again"


"Aviane is the second birth control I have taken, but the first that I have actually stuck to for a somewhat long period of time. I first started out with progestin-only Nora-be and I did not like it at all. Upon receiving Aviane, I was fairly excited to start. I heard mixed reviews but decided to start it anyway and let me tell you, I'm glad I did. Aviane has cleared up my acne almost completely. I used to suffer from mild acne and my skin is almost flawless. Also, my breasts seem to have enlarged. I feel like I may have gained weight due to an increased appetite but probably no more than 4-5 pounds which is worth not getting pregnant and having clear skin plus I'm fairly petite. I definitely plan to stay on Aviane for a long time! Love it!"


"just over a week on from taking yasmin...

first fews days a noticed being slightly more emotional as in I cried pretty much every day for 3 days but my angryness was a lot calmer, iI found that it relaxed me a bit.... crying has stopped after roughly 3rd day in. Generally feeling happier and more calm , being a moody person due to hormones yasmin has helped with this.
My skin has not yet cleared up.... hoping it does but will keep updated only been a week. my head I believe has been a bit cloudy, e.g. was driving the other day and didn't feel like i was completely there and hard to concentrate sometimes. I'm not sure if this is from yasmin but it might be worth thinking about and checking in on.  bloatedness has gone! and decreased appetite."


"Just started this medicine today for c diff, which I have been trying to fight with diet & probiotics for months now.  I thought I had a handle on it at first, but the bugs clearly had a meeting in my gut about their dwindling numbers and decided to multiply faster than ever before. It returned with a vengeance. Reading all of these horrid side effects is scary but a ten day ride through mall of it seems appealing to me at this point if it kills the c diff. No metallic taste for me so far but I do feel sort of loopy and may just go to bed for a week. Will update my progress and experiences soon. Insomnia? God I hope not."


"The first time I was on this (before baby #2) it was effective for almost a year then decided to stop taking it after experiencing anxiety, chest pain, acne and I swear it made my BP go up. The symptoms disappeared within a few days. Fast forward to now I have been put back on this pill and after 2 months I am stopping it again for same previous symptoms. This pill is the worst. I would not recommend."


"Zofran completely changed my life! The ODT are perfect because I suffer from anxiety and sometimes it gets so bad that I begin to vomit. Also, with Irritable Bowel Syndrome it helps control the nausea and vomiting associated with it. I get no side effects but my insurance doesn't cover more than 5 tabs at a time so I have to get it in regular pill form sometimes at Costco where they have the cheapest price."


"NoDoz is the only medicine I can take that helps with my periodic fatigue and sleepiness during the day.  One pill around 10 a.m. gets me going to complete my most stressful job.  I don't take daily but when I did, I could instantly see the difference."


"I wish they would do research into why this drug works so well. It should not be 5th line treatment as it is a very potent anti-anxiety medication that works in days not weeks. It did however, totally mess with my sleep cycle. I'm sleepy at 1PM and I don't sleep well at night (The drug makes me restless). This is the only Anti-Depressant that has helped my anxiety. I did have one bad reaction from eating slightly off chicken (Panic attack/Heart pounding). I take 30mgs daily. Important to spread dose over the day to avoid the peaks and troughs of energy levels (It seems most effective when taken all at once though)."


"This is the most amazing medication for depression! I have used it in the past, and am so glad to start back on it again. I have had so many bad things happen, that it is time for some good. I am grateful for the way it helps me see the bright side of life, instead of living so unhappily and feeling hopeless. If you have ever thought of suicide, please don't do it. I know this medicine helped me from doing it in my past, it's wonderful. Problems are temporary. "


"I'd gotten the synvisc 1 shot injection annually the past 2 years.  I went in on 10/16 to get a preventative shot and since my insurance deductibles had been met for the year, I wanted to get it before end of year.  My knee began swelling up as soon as I got home, with lots of pain.  I went in a day later and have him drain it, then a couple days later and had him drain it again. I never got any infection however,  the Dr stated that around 5% of the patients will have a bad reaction.. It's now Dec'16 and I still have pain (no swelling, just burning/pain on inside of the knee). Some days worse than others.. some days I can walk without much pain, other days, hurts like hell to walk on it. Also hurts while sleeping.. some night worse than others. NO MORE"


"This is a miracle drug!!!!! So many times zofran came in for the save.

Saved my spouse, I and our 7 and 5 year old a trip to ER when the norovirus hit us. Took it after terrible dry heaves and within 20 minutes I was able to sleep.

This medicine also helped after my csection when I was nauseous.

When my son had hand foot and mouth and was uncontrollably vomiting the dr gave him this medicine too, within an hour he was eating fine!

This was also great for my IBS symptoms when they hit hard.

10/10 !!!"


"I just started Gilenya through a research study (or I couldn't afford it) a week ago. I had minor flu like symptoms the first 72 hours and then increased energy the past several days. I have experienced hot flashes at night sometimes. I have never been on any meds since being tested for Multiple Sclerosis in 2005. I am thankful I don't have to take the injections. Tired and oddly depressed today. Hoping that goes away soon and isn't a lasting side effect."


"None of you mention your Doctor's instructions on how to take Trazadone.  I think the biggest problem I am reading about could be solved with the proper instruction.   I was told to take it then turn off the lights and lie down,,,,Take it at bedtime... no tv or reading just take and lie down... It works and I feel rested."


"I have been suffering from severe pain for 8 years now from crushed nerves from a work related incident.  I get immediate pain relief without the side effects like upset stomach, nausea, dizziness and headache.  I think this a wonderful drug for a chronic pain suffer like me who gets no relief from the ther pain medications on the market."


"This work great. Had a headache 30 min and it gone. It depends though. I heard that if you take this in empty stomach it should take 20-30mins. Or full stomach is 30-45mins."


"After being prescribed Monurol (a single dose, powder satchet antibiotic) for a pretty nasty Bladder Infection, I had to go back to the doctor because I was still in serious pain.

My family doctor prescribed Macrobid, and after taking ONE dose, I started to have relief. I'm pretty sensitive to medications, I usually get the full list of side-effects; headache, nausea, diarrhoea, but with Macrobid, absolutely nothing-not even the weird possible "darkening of urine".

Believe me, I'm a big baby, I'd whine about anything, this medication was amazing."


"I have used this Pen 5 months and so far I have more energy, sugars lower.  Feel better overall.

A little bleeding from injection, but I can live with that.  AIC pending but I know it will be much better.

Definitely worth a try."


"My Dr. started me on this shot because I have heavy periods and iron deficiency anemia. Got the shot in January 2016...was loving not having periods. Then on March 27, I started my period. It's April 13 now and no signs of stopping. Plus now I have huge dark clots and lots of cramping. It also gave me extreme acne...huge ulcer type zits all over my face, neck, chest and shoulders and total decrease in sex drive. I also now have cysts on my ovaries that they're monitoring. I'm 45 and I don't need the egg baskets or the baby carriage and I'm going to request a total hysterectomy. Sick of the life destroying effects of only one round of this shot. Plus it's definitely not helping with my anemia, only making it worse! Ladies Dont Get This Shot!"


"I have had great results with Coreg . My blood pressure was high and heart rate and now my pressure is normal and heart rate is much slower."


"It helped my eyes when I went had an eye infection."


"I was on synthroid it drove me bonkers and took out my hair. I cut out gluten and changed my diet. It all works hand in hand one but, nature-throid changed my health completely around. "


"Hey guys posting a update on the 17th of August I weighed 263lb now  on the 21st I'm down to 259lb  not much but that's 4  pounds ❤"


"I received one injection in both knees for four weeks a month ago. Have RA, OA and had tibia plateau fixation in both legs in 2009 after a car hit me. The injections DID NOT give me any kind of pain relief AT ALL. As a matter of fact today, my right knee feels worse than before the injections because it's hurting even though I didn't walk or stand up…"


"Had no issues with this antibiotic, currently taking a 7 day course for a chest infection, have noticed a difference, before hand I was unable to sleep and hadn't eaten in 4 days as all the coughing was making me throw up and keeping me awake, after the first 2 days of taking this it calmed that right down and finally was able to get a good night sleep and eat. I'm currently on day 4, cough is still there but not half as much, also not as aggressive. Ribs are no longer in agony from the coughing. Personally I have had no side effects. I was told you have to take the tablet with a full glass of water and have done it both with and without food on my stomach and no difference. Must just effect different people in different ways"


"Worked like a dream within a few days of taking and have been using for about 8 months now.   Used to pee 2-3 times per night, now 0-1.   No noted side effects."


"So, my experience with the Implanon (Nexplanon) Implant was adventurous, to say the least, and not in good way.

The second week of insertion, I felt like I was pregnant. Literally, from food cravings to nausea. I felt light headed from time to time. And mood swings, OH the MOOD SWINGS!

But at that point in time I didn't think anything of it. I figured it was just my body's way of adapting to a new medicine. Whatever.

A couple months later, I talked to my doctor about getting back on my depression medicine...no big deal. I've been depressed most of my life.

Side note that i though was pretty cool:

Over time I noticed a day before I started my period the area that the device was located would feel a burning pinching sensation... Much cle"


"Okay so I'm 14 and this is my second YI and the first applicator I used was fine for my first one, it was a simple 7-day fix and not this brand.

I just put in the first dose of this stuff, and literally I'm on fire. It's burning so much, and anymovement I make disturbs the YI and it's awful, I suggest finding a different brand, the burning is just awful that's all, huge warning"


"Been taking this for yrs and has helped me so much."


"I was on Levora for about 9 years and have quit taking it now for about a year. I never became pregnant on this pill, so it definitely serves it's purpose, but I did have some common side effects that it seems a lot of woman complained about as well. My two biggest issues were a VERY decreased libido (almost non-existent), breast tenderness, and anxiety. I'm still suffering from anxiety issues, so I'm not sure if the pill contributed to the anxiety, or if I would've started having it even if I never started taking the pill."


"This medication is the bomb! its like crack for eczema. I have tried other remedies as well and nothing else comes close. I am african-american with a caramel colored complexion. I started having flare ups on my hands really bad to the point where my hands are almost black and rough like dinosaur skin. I was scratching until they bleed. My hand even swelled up. It started to really affect my self esteem. Words cant even describe how happy I am that I got my hands on this stuff again. I am in love with it!"


"I'm been on Seroquel since been diagnosed (now 18 months). Started taking 50g but now I'm on 100g. I've got to the point on this medication that the side effects are too much. Constantly tired. Feel very vague. My memory is terrible. I'm starting to forget about things I've already done. Still very paranoid. Also I'm still having panic attacks. So for me, it's time to move on and try something new (Olanzapine)."


"I have been taking Xyrem since it was in research. Then it was a powder that you mixed each night before bed. While it has changed my life for the better. There are some side effects. One is after starting just once I did wet the bed. I had been warned that this might happen. So with proper protection in place no mess. One more side effect is intense hunger after taking the dose. Some people quit the study over that side effect. The price of Xyrem is so high. These are just my experiences everyone is different. But for my narcolepsy I have a new lease on life. One where I can pay attention and stay awake."


"Started taking for bladder infection, got to day 2 of taking the medication when it started giving me random sharp stomach pains (wasn't having any dairy products either) and caused me to have panic attacks where I felt extremely dizzy. I had to ask for another medication."


"I have been taking this medicine since before Christmas and the side effects are awful from feeling sick, really eggy belching and really bad wind that keeps me awake as anyone else experienced this and how long did it last ???"


"I am a female in her mid 20s. I've always had random breakouts due to hormonal changes and stress. Recently, my acne seemed to be getting out of hand and none of the at home treatments I was using helped. I have been using Epiduo for a little over 3 weeks now and I think my skin is just now getting used to it. At first, it really irritated my skin and caused it to burn, become red, and look swollen. I have no experienced any peeling like most other people have. I have to experiment with it a little bit, though. I just apply it to my forehead and chin, then bring the excess onto my nose. I use Cetaphil daily moisturizer for dry skin on top of the Epiduo. For the past week, my skin has been exceptionally clear and not nearly as irritated."


"I've been suffering with migraine for 40 years. Tried everything on the market, including acupuncture. Used imitrex needle injections for many years. Learned about sumavel dosepro a few years ago. Loved this script. Very good success with it. However, in the past few months, I have had 12 injections not fire off. 15 or 20 minutes after my attempts, the cartridges fired off on my counter.  Some never fired off and the medicine remained in the injector. I contacted Endo and they were helpful. Took the information and sent a postage paid envelope to return the defective injections to some lab in California. Endo forwarded info to my insurance company for replacements. Surprise, I'm still waiting for these replacements. Getting nowhere."


"My 6 year old son (ADHD/Autism) starting taking Strattera about 6 months ago because he had a bad reaction to stimulant medicine. Was on 20 mg and it did not help him.  The doctor increased it to 40mg and now he cries all the time and about everything.  His concentration is still really bad.  I will be talking to his doctor soon."


"I have had horrible cystic acne since I was 18, which gets worse around my period. I've tried so many different birth controls and gone to the dermatologist so many times with no luck. This stuff changed the game for me. I rarely get cystic acne anymore, and my skin just looks so much better and healthier. I used to never leave the house without makeup, and now I don't even give it a second thought!
I am so grateful for this medication. My periods are also normal and fairly light. I never have cramps during my period anymore! If you have acne problems and want to regulate your period, definitely try this first."


"I've been on Paxil for 5 years and it helped my Panic Attacks 100%. The good thing is that I can cope with the tremendous amount of stress I am under at work and home with my special needs son. I was going to a Naturopathic Physician and the natural remedies worked for a while and then stopped. I couldn't sleep much for four months and kept jumping out of my sleep with massive panic attacks. I started out on 10 mg and now cut my pills in half (5 mg) and it keeps me panic free. The negative side effects are sexual performance, weight gain and I feel the medicine is aging me. I now have occasional head shaking that upsets my wife. She wants me to get off this and I tried to a couple of times with renewal of panic attacks."


"I just had my mirena removed after having it for 5 years. After

only a few days of spotting and cramping I did not have a period for 5 years. I did however cramp a little every month and had mood swings. It was the best birth control experience ever and after having a few cycles I plan on having it put back in."


"Started 3wks. ago, have stayed on it but awful side effects, can't get through to my doctor without having an even greater Anxiety Attack than I'm already having. This medication Goes right up on the Top Worse Self for Bad Medications I have been on.
Shaking inside, dry chalky mouth & throat, upset stomach, vomiting, nervousness & even more emotional than normal (if that's possible).
It feels like everything that's wrong with me has been intensified!"


"It worked for me

I didn't leave my house for months except to go to the doctor.  I had to lean on my husband to get to the car

Doing much better now

I can even attend family occasions

This is much better than Xanax, which I had a very hard time getting off of."


"I was on this medication for THREE DAYS, missed ONE DAY, and for a week my body was in the most excruciating pain. It was almost as if the withdrawal gave me fibromyalgia. Also, I was a different person on all of the medications I tried. Be careful with any medicine you take. It was painful, but I also needed it because of severe suicide ideation. "


"I have been taking Lamictal for the past several months, with a maximum does of 500 mg/day (I was on 150/day, but that wasn't controlling my seizures). Unfortunately, the seizures have not stopped. I haven't missed a dose, yet they keep coming back. My seizures on Tegretol were so infrequent (1-2/year) and now they are much more frequent. Plus, it is giving me horrible acne on my face and chest. And strange itchiness on my skin now and again. Also, I cannot sleep well. Overall, I do not recommend this, but who knows, everyone is different."


"30  year smoker. Working for me (40 days) but exercise program is huge deal, which gives an immediate gratification.  "


"Took the diflucan one dose on monday night its now thursday and I still have the infection and am still itchy. This is on top of canestine for the outer symptoms. Have to go back to chemist and try something else. Waste of $20 :("


"I'm 16 and i had acne since like middle school and I got this new dermetalogist and she gave me these pills. At first they worked but now my skin is breaking out...I'm tired"


"Great migraine/headache relief.  I never had a headache before I turned 30, but I have had tons of morning allergy related headaches/migraines.  Nothing helped until I tried excedrin migraine forumula or extra strength (both have the same ingredients).  Often get relief from one pill.  It has a mix of caffeine, aspirin, and tylenol that works great."


"I had been on Suboxone for 4.5 years for pain management (off-label use) after many years of Percocet etc., for joint pain from rheumatoid arthritis.  Moved from CA. to eastern Okla. and needed a new Dr.  Found one, suggested I look into Butrans patch since my issue was not Opiate addiction. I have been on the 10 mcg patch for two weeks and it definitely works but I have an issue. Both weeks about 3 days in, I started having sweats, restless leg at night and a stronger than normal heartbeat. I pulled the patch and 8 hrs later all is OK.  Don't like these side effects."


"Had a large pedunctulated fibroid tumor on my uterus- shot was administered , they found my fibroid got larger after 3 months. Had to have a partial hysterectomy to have it removed so I could sit, drive and have sex without being uncomfortable or bleeding.  I had every side effect which was miserable. I had extreme hair loss (thinning) and I'm still trying to grow it back... this drug did not work for me. It has been over a year."


"I am a long time (near 25 years) Paxil user. Some of your new users need to give it a chance before making an assessment. I had some of those side effects early on-they were no big deal and they all went away over time. Bottom line, I suffered from lifelong severe depression-Paxil literally stopped me from taking my own life. On Anxiety, the result has not been as positive, but perhaps I need to increase my dosage? I'll talk to my physician on that. If you're mainly depressed I heartily endorse Paxil, it reduces depression with minimal side effects. It's a wonder drug in my book!"


"After 4 months I developed swelling and aching in my fingers, hands, wrist, and ankles.  Within 1 month of starting forteo I started experiencing hair loss. It's been over a week since I discontinued the injections but my hands still hurt and my ankles are still swollen. Considering there is no way to determine if the benefits outweigh the risks, I don't feel that it is the right drug for me."


"The only problem, besides the aftertaste, is that I find I need to go to bed within 10 minutes of taking the medicine or the sleepy effect just doesn't happen and I'm left tossing and turning the rest of the night."


"Took one dose as directed and had very negative reaction.  Seemed to make my condition much worse.  Caused stomach ache, nausea, headache, liver pain.  I'd be very careful in decisionto take this med.  Do all other homeopathic cold/ flu remedies first, like taking zinc, chicken soup, going to bed, staying warm, eating oranges, taking 1/2 pain pill."

"I have been taking Budeprion XL for 1 month now. It has changed my life. I am smoking less, have more energy and my sex drive is off the chart. I have never felt this great before in my life. It is a wonderful drug."


"My daughter has been taking Aptensio for 3 months now. She takes 50mg once a day. She has taken just about every drug on the market. The longest lasting about 8 months. She takes the Aptensio at 7am and by 3:00 when she comes home she is a total train wreck! The come down for her is fast and has her acting worse than before medicated. She says she isn't really finding her focus to be much better when at school. However, in the past 3 months she has put on 5 lbs. She is always hungry which is a total change from any other stimulant med she has tried. I take the same med and have put on 13lbs. in three months. We know of two other children that have gained as well and love the med. So if your child is under weight from stimulants try this one"


"I've been on Lo loestrin fe for about two months and I have had extreme cyst acne I have bloating on my mid stomach and a  very oily face I am 17."


"I have been on Wellbutrin XL now for almost 7 years and I love it. Before starting Wellbutrin with the other medications I felt tired, could hardly function and could not think clearly, it was so bad I was ready to quit all the meds and just live my life depressed, I mean after all I was sleeping my life away anyway so it didn't matter. So I told my psychiatrist and she put me on Wellbutrin XL it took about 3 weeks to start noticing a big improvement I felt energetic I wanted to do things again my mood has been really good I could concentrate it helped me tremendously in my job and I was able to start living life to the fullest and be that fun loving, energetic person I want to be. I highly recommend this medicine."


"Seroquel XR worked very well for me with a combination of Seroquel and Zoloft together. I've been well for over 3 years now. Usually I would fall in to a depression with in a year just taking an antidepressent Because my body would build a tolerance to the medications. I know this medicine isn't for everyone, but I've had a very good experience and I'm stable and happy."


"I had my paragard inserted about 7 months ago, and insertion wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't still be sore from ripping during childbirth.  With paragard my period started lasting up to 9-10 days with heavy bleeding.  I also started to have pain during sex.  About 2 weeks ago I developed eczema on my hand.  Today I had the paragard removed and felt instantly better.  According to the ob/gyn I may have a copper allergy because my cervix was red and inflamed.  She said the eczema could have also been a result of it too.  So in summary, paragard does work in preventing pregnancy, but make sure you don't have a copper allergy before hand, and remember that every woman is going to react to it differently."


"I had two very old bottles of Tramadol stashed away because they never really worked for pain.  One day I had significant enough pain that I decided to give them a try again.  Again, it didn't do anything for the pain.  I did notice, though, that my entire outlook on life had drastically improved.  It didn't make me "high", but it alleviated my extreme social anxiety and made me feel positive and upbeat when I am often a person who is disappointed about waking up each day.  My son could tell when I did or didn't take it because he notices a dramatic difference in me.  I used the ones I had wisely until I ran out.  I researched online to find that I was far from being the only person who has had this experience, so... (to be continued)"


"This medicine did nothing to help with my depression - but in all fairness - in the 17 years I've been trying to get the depression treated - nothing has helped."


"I figured that this would be the best choice of birth control due to the fact I've tryed everything else and nothing really seemed to work. Ive had it in my arm for 1 year already after having my 2nd child. At first it was great my periods completely stoped. And I didn't have to remember to take birth control cause it was already in my arm. I've always been very outgoing which I still am but I have developed severe anxiety, and a bit of depression. Ive also develeped having insomnia I barely sleep at night and so tired that I just crash and I've always have been so active . I've also have gained 30 lbs. But the worst of it all no sex drive completely GONE."


"I was given this medication with Pergeta and Herceptin for 4 cycles. The 1st cycle proved to have the most side effects, nausea, constipation, heart burn, readness, and tired."


"It takes a long time to be effective. Don't be surprised that it may take 2 bottles (at 30day supply/ bottle) to get results. Condition will slowly improve. It usually is taken 4 times daily. Easier to do 1 hour before meals than 3 hours after. My schedule 6:30 am, 11 am, 4 pm and then before bed. Be sure to have FULL (8 - 10oz.) glass of water. Otherwise blue pill will cause stool to be DARK GREEN."


"Well, I've been on this right now for about 3 months...and the first two months were horrific. It has evened out a little bit, I almost switched off of it. I am on an antidepressant, and the first two months have made me more depressed than I've ever been. I think things are evening out...the first two months I had the worst two periods of my life. I hope my mood evens out."


"I have arthritis, carpal tunnel and fibromyalgia. Wonderful for localized arthritis and carpal tunnel pain, not very good for fibromyalgia pain.  Used primarily on wrists, elbows and hips but have also used on neck/shoulders and knees.  Literally numbs the area.  Numbing sinks below the surface relieving joint pain.  Especially effective in my hips, allowing me to get sleep.

They cause a mild rash especially if I forget and leave them on to long.  They also come off easily. Take a good shower before applying and they stick better.  I wear breathable elastic braces on hands and elbows to keep them in place while I sleep.

I love these things, they greatly improve my quality of life and ability to function with virtually no side affects."


"I have OCD.  It was getting hard to function, so my doctor put me on Paxil.  I haven't had any side effects, and my OCD is pretty much a memory.  The only time I feel it is if I'm very stressed.  Even then I don't act on it.
Paxil is a lifesaver for me."


"I'm 47 years old, my T levels were tested anywhere from a low of 56 to a high of 255. I used a natural testosterone cream from a compounding shop for almost a year, no change. My doctor then put me on 1 tube of Testim per day, no change. He then put me on 2 tubes per day, still no change. He finally gave me 1cc trstosterone cypionate per week and my levels are now around 850, and that was a full week after my last injection. I believe the half life is 12 days so my levels 2 or 3 days after an injection are probably over 1,000. Feel great, losing belly fat and putting on a lot of muscle."


"Love this medication. I suffered with painful periods and ovulation and terrible mood swings which all got worse after having my kids.  I tried various birth control pills but without a great improvement - especially with mood. I just had my third shot, I only gained 2 lbs since the first shot and I no longer have a period. I've had some slight acne but happy to manage that - overall for me it's been great. Very happy. I should add that I am taking calcium and Vitamin D also."


"I have pretty bad infection I think my birthcontrol caused. I read the reviews but my experince has not been bad at all. I felt instant relief. the cooling wipes were great and the cream gave me some comfort as well"


"Okay so this morning I found out I have chlamydia,  well I got the powder medication,  one dose, I ate before taking it and took it with 2. Ounces of water like directed, well 2 minutes after taking it I had like projectile vomit, I am really concerned cause I think I threw it all back up, so I'm going to call and talk to my doctor about it in the morning."


"Celebrex has been really great for my arthritis and

Ankylosing Spondylitis.  I can actually function almost

normally with about half the prescribed dosage (which

is normally 2 per day).  The one pill will take care of the

pain for about 36-40 hrs."


"I started this medication because my liver levels was high. Took for a month notice no change in my RA. Finally had to stop this sulfasalazine.....totally constipated me really bad. Took a week just to go, had stomach pain, sweating, and thought I was going to explode!! Back to taking ibuprophen. "


"I followed the directions, clear liquids ONLY for the day before the colonoscopy. I mixed as directed. The flavor was not too bad, kinda like cherry cough syrup. Took dose one at 5:45 and it was working at 6:10. Make sure you are heading for the toilet at first feeling of pressure...make sure the coast is clear! 11 bowel movements by 8:00. I will take dose 2 at 6:00 in the morning prior to my 10:00 appointment."


"I was given this medicine by a regular medical doctor in tandem with Prozac and Ambien.  What a horrible combo!!!!  After being on Abilify for several weeks every nerve ending in my body felt like they were on fire.  I was hyper and couldn't stay seated.  I found out that this medicine was burning my brain and causing Akathisia.   I called my doctor and told him what was going on and he wanted to double the milligram.  I said....ohhhhhhhh no your not!!!!!  Because of this medicine combo things got so bad I tried suicide back in February of 2015.  I took 13 sleeping pills. The hospital doctor in the psych ward said the combination I was on was wrong and he was surprised I wasn't in the hospital earlier !!!"


"I got the Mirena inserted to treat heavy bleeding & to prevent pregnancy. Before this I was taking birth control pills (sprintec) and stopped because they were causing significant hair loss and depression. Since I have stopped using them my hair has been growing back in. I have also noticed that I don't feel depressed as often). Mirena has been effective at preventing pregnancy but the dark brown discharge I get every single day makes me feel so disgusting that I have no desire whatsoever to have sex (it only stopped when I went back on the pill WITH the IUD but returned after 3 months when I stopped the pills again). To people who have menorraghia: please reconsider getting the Mirena IUD."


"Been on the depo shot since Oct 11 2015 ..even since I been bleeding non stop took my second shot January and still bleeding with clots and then is will slow down and come back again it February 22 2016 . I'm still bleeding I hate this and regret taking the shot.. I have been feeling dizzy and weak at times as well ... "


"I started out taking Tri Sprintec as a teenager. (16).  Never had any problems.  Had to switch to sprintec because of break through bleeding in my 20's.  I am now 37 and still take Sprintec.  I have never had any problems with it.  After taking it so long it has become a morning habit. When I don't need it anymore then I will feel old. Ha"


"I got the nexplanon implant June of 2015. Around November of 2015, I began having a period. Before getting nexplanon, I was getting Depo shots for 5 years and had no period at all, it was great. My period in November lasted about three weeks. December it was like two weeks. January-May it was light spotting (10-15 days). This entire month of June I have been spotting. 30 days! It is just enough to be annoying because I have to worry about it constantly. I work full time and I find I am going to the bathroom 4-5 times a day just to check.

It is nice not having to worry about taking a pill everyday, or going to the doctor every three months. My doctor told me I wouldn't have a period, since I wasn't with Depo, but apparently that's not tru"


"I have suffered for over 30 years. Was going to the VA and then my family DR gave me this, it was a life change and then the medicine went off for a short time I thought it would never come back. When it did my Dr slowly moved my medicine up. I am getting better, I have a lot of pain, was hurt in the army."


"I was in constant pain 24/7, and I used to take so many showers to try to get some relief.  Nothing helped and I was in tears, I just could not stand the pain and discomfort any longer.  My sister was on Lyrica because she had Fibromyalgia and got relief.  So the next time I was at the doctors I asked him about taking Lyrica and he thought that it was a good idea.  It took awhile but each day that went by more of my pain left me, and now I am pain free from Fibromyalgia.  My side effects was gaining weight and that was about it.  Any day I would gain 20-30 lbs. to get rid of that terrible pain.  Thank you Lyrica."


"This drug has been amazing for me! I went from not being able to think clearly and rationally after a very abusive marriage and stressor of special needs children to being a calm supportive single mother. I used to avoid cleaning or spending time with my kids because I was so in stress survival mode that I could not handle the little things. The side effects for me are near to nothing and I think it even helps my metabolism. I was really reluctant to take a drug but I am happy I listened to older experienced people and my therapist. Really has helped so much. I still hate the idea that I need it. Yet, I am so happy that I have it available to me.  I don't have a foggy brain and I sleep really well. I used to even avoid sleeping."


"This my third time taking xifaxan. First two times was 2 200mg 3xday. 6 tablets per day for 10 days for SIBO. Just started 550 MGS 3XDAY for 14 days. The cost is prohibitive $331 Co pay. So far not feeling much relief from abdominal pain. I was not retested for SIBO but prescribed this for IBS.  I am also on gluten free and FODMAP diet. I have low IgA and IgG immunoglobulins. Everything seems to be just trial and error. I will continue to take it. Not very hopeful. Everything gets blamed on low immunoglobulins."


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


"I feel compelled to write this, as I have read so many awful experiences. Mine was not awful at all. I took 800mg ibuprofen half hour before. Insertion did hurt. But the pain was less than a minute. Cramps on my way home. No bleeding. So far so good!"


"I started taking asthma to control my adult-onset asthma.  It works very well, and when I am on it, my asthma is very well-controlled. I have gone off of it twice, due to my doctor thinking I did not need to be on it long-term, but after my last series of asthma attacks we agreed I should stay on it for the foreseeable future. My only comment is that I do think it makes me gain weight, especially in my mid-section.  Not a lot (yet) but we will see what happens if I go off of it again. The weight gain is on average about 5 lbs., so not much, but on my frame, it is noticeable.  Every time I go off it, the weight goes as well.  I'd rather breathe and have 5 extra lbs., but I haven't seen this listed as a significant side effect anywhere."


"Had a colonoscopy and endoscopy. I am terrified of being sedated but this stuff works like a charm. Don't even remember falling asleep, but I do remember waking up instantly into a peaceful, mentally alert state. I was a bit emotional and crying over nothing for a while haha but otherwise it was really easy. Will not fear this again!"


"I had too much acid in my stomach. This was a life saver, couldn't eat or function. Ever since I started taking this, I have my life back."


"Had my first shot about a week ago. I have major pain in my joints (elbows and knees), hot flashes and night sweats. But honestly so far so good. I am no longer feeling the horrible endometriosis pain. Will update more once I'm further in. Plan as of now is to do 6 months of Lupron and see if my Fallopian tubes have less swelling and inflammation as my husband and I would love a baby of our own. Good luck to all. This is not easy. But I am hoping it will be worth it."


"Severe scalp psoriasis developed, no flare ups though."


"I got nexplanon inserted in July of 2015. It is very effective in terms of preventing pregnancy, I have never had a scare in the past year. However, the side effects have been so bad that I have chosen to get it removed. I suffer from severe moodiness, I am so short tempered and I cry so much. I was never this emotional before. Also, I get my period about every 2 or 3 months, but when I get it the pain is unbearable and it lasts for 2-3 weeks. I've also noticed that the implant makes me get extremely drunk very quickly. It's embarrassing for me to be so intoxicated after just a couple of shots and I'm sure it's unsafe. It has been effective, but I can't deal with it anymore."


"I was on Effexor XR for almost a year. I started out on 75 mg a day, and it slowly progressed to 300 mg per day. I was 16, and weighed 105 pounds, while my 300  lb grandfather was only on 75 mg. While it helped with the depression (no suicidal ideas, not sleeping all day, etc.) it aggravated my moods. I had manic episodes that I would not remember, hallucinations, trouble sleeping, and when I did get depressed, it was very severe. The worst part was the withdrawal. It made me feel like I had the flu, and had been hit by a train. I ended up weaning myself off of it, with the help of 25 mg of Benadryl twice a day (it cut down on the nausea). I am now about to start Cymbalta, and I hope that it is a better experience."


"I've had 3 series of Euflexxa with good relief from bone on bone pain as long as I don't overdo. They make it easier to walk and reduce general pain and stiffness. They also help significulty with preventing my knee from going into a sublux position.

The injections themselves aren't painful, just uncomfortable. My doctor uses a topical anesthetic and is very gentle. Any pain is brief. I have some very minimal bleeding and swelling at the injection site and take it easy afterward.

I'm so grateful for Euflexxa. I received injections of Synvisc (similar but with actual rooster comb as opposed to a synthetic) before. They worked great and I needed only 1 shot, not 3, but like many, I had a severe painful reaction with repeat injections."


"I used this for a year for insomnia, but once my sleep cycle got better they took me off of it.  I am going to ask for it again as I have been reduced to 3 to 4 hours of sleep once more.  I hope it works as well now as it did 20 years ago."


"I have taken LoSeasonique for over 5 years. It has helped with migraines (no hormone fluctuations) and did not have weight gain until my insurance tried to get me to take the GENERIC version.. Not the same, hence bioequivalent.  Now, no pharmacies have the brand name on the shelf nor can they order it. Oh no!"


"I'm 23 with one child and decided to get the paragard and actually got it inserted yesterday (almost 3yrs pp) I read tons of reviews and was super scared but I knew everyone was different so I just had to see for myself. The worst part was the inserting but it didn't hurt it was just uncomfortable for about 2 minutes. I had one minor cramp that went away right after insertion. I was on day 2 of my period which possibly made it easier. I took an 800 ibuprofen an hr before and walked out fine. So far so good. Bleeding hasn't increased and cramps are none existent. Now on day 3 of my period and day 1 after insertion I have no complaints. Hopefully it continues."


"The first four days I was almost euphoric then it was like the bottom dropped out and depression worse that when I started the medication set in. I have stopped taking it."


"I originally was interested in bupropion for the weight loss effect it can have, but (for whatever the reason) told my doctor the reason was because I wanted to quit smoking. I did quit smoking for about a week, then started again, but cut the amount of cigarettes a day in half.  The weight loss didn't happen for me, however I didn't gain any as I've seen that some people do gain on anti-depressants.  I take the generic bupropion SR 150mg twice daily, and it has totally improved my ability to focus and get annoying chores - or whatever it is - done! I LOVE IT!  It also increased sex drive from when I started taking through the 2nd month.  This is my 3rd month and that has tapered down, which is good because I was wearing my husband out!"


"Worse birth control, I have been taking it for 2 weeks and I am already experiencing horrid headaches, I'm nauseous and I feel like I have something just sitting in my stomach. But the worst part, I have a decreased sex drive and when I have sex I dry up very quick which is so frustrating that I can't even enjoy my sex life while being on this pill."


"I am a 65 year old Male and suffer from depression. My Psychiatrist prescribed Tramadol 50mg daily.  I have been taking it for three years and it works terrific.  I have tried SSRIs in the past but did not have any success.
I have heard horror stories about the withdrawal symptoms of Tramadol so I have taken some days off or decreased my dosage to test and experiment the withdrawal effects -- but I am not sure I want to go through the rest of my days bummed out and unproductive.
I have heard all the stories about working out, proper diet, self-talk etc...  I am very disciplined in adhering to these principles -- but it does not help my depression.
Just my two cents.
Jerry"


"I had been using Ziidra for approximately two weeks when I had a very Acute Asthma attack that has now lasted over eight weeks. I am still very short of breath, having attacks, and I have had to spend a fortune on emergency care, meds, a nebulizer, a HEPA air filter, a HEPA sealed vacuum, and cleaning help. Then three days ago a friend said that she had started using Ziidra an that it had caused severe worsening of her Asthma. It had not even occurred to me that the drops could have been the cause. I stopped them immediately and it remains to be seen if what now seems to be Chronic Severe Asthma will calm down. I had never had anything but situational Asthma before, which a puff of a rescue inhaler would relieve immediately."


"I've been on camrese for almost a month before I was on lo seasonique which I loved better. I switched because I was told  it helped better with cramps an lighten your period, but omg I been spotting every since I been on it! My period was due last week but i just been spotting. I'm on my last week of pills this week. I take my pill every morning on time never miss still spotting smh. I'm calling my doctor telling him I need to switch back over. Its  literally like your on your period for a whole month! I don't recommend at all!"


"Great for the asthma bad for the mood.

Cleared up the runny nose and the cough.

Started to make me think of some very bad things. I was getting angry with everyone over relatively anything."


"Horrible. Horrible. Horrible!!! Do NOT take reclipsen. I'm finishing off my 2nd week and I've been miserable! My heart rate has been crazy. I've been having panic attacks that I haven't had in a long time. I've had a migraine for 2 days now. Nothing will make it go away. I've basically OD on headache medicine. I've felt so dizzy and light headed. My depression has came back. Screwed up my sleep. Super nauseous. No appetite. Some people say they've gained weight, but I've lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks, NOT the healthy way. I've been so miserable and it's sooo not worth it!! Save yourself and DO NOT TRY IT!!!!!!"


"I've  been taking the drug for about 5 years for an anxiety. It was an absolute godsend for me. It takes a few days for the body to settle in but it's worth it.   It allows me to function normally. Yes it does have a sedative effect but l take it at night which only helps me get to sleep. Yes l still suffer from mild anxiety occasionally but it is manageable. This allows me to focus on the cause which is usually procrastination of life issues such as money/health."


"I was started on Gildess 1/20 but then was switched to Blisovi after the recall. I absolutely HATE this birth control. Ever since starting it I have been having moderate to heavy periods twice a month. My cramps have been pretty bad too, the last heavy period I had my cramps lasted the entire week as opposed to going away the second day like they normally do. My mood swings are the worst they've ever been and I find myself crying at the drop of a hat and mad at everything. And just as some of the other women have stated, I have been extremely thirsty while on this pill and I can't wait to change it. The only good thing about this pill is that I'm not pregnant. That's the ONLY good thing about it."


"I did one cycle of the Depo shot, and at first, I wasn't suffering any side effects. I felt fine and really it was so much easier than taking a pill every day. Naturally, on Ortho-Cyclen, I forgot all the time. So the shot was refreshing and just plain easy to be on in that aspect. After about a week and a half, I started to notice an increased appetite. I'm talking, I was hungry ALL THE TIME. Also, I experienced severe acne. I went from having a break out maybe, once a month, to my face being covered in acne. I didn't experience any weight gain, but I was also doubling my work-out time because of the appetite increase."


"Very good, after about 5 minutes and I went to the toilet, I cleared all my bowels"


"My new doctor recently switched me from klonopin to Cymbalta. I'd been taking Klonopin for two years at a low dose with NO issues, but this doctor can't help meddling. Anyway, this Cymbalta is a nightmare. I'm not depressed, just have anxiety, so why am I taking this? I've been so edgy and nauseous since starting it. I can't sleep, and sit in meetings at work spacing out. Never take this medication. I'm seeing my doc next week and am just going to flatly say I'm not taking this anymore. Luckily a different doc prescribes the Klonopin."


"I've been suffering from a great deal of anxiety for the last year or so. The only thing that would help were benzodiazepines and they felt only as if they were covering up the underlying problem. It got so bad that I would have a nightly panic attack. I tried a number of SSRIs but the side effects made them unbearable after the second day and the panic attacks did not stop. Buspirone has allowed me to relax and sleep at night with no noticeable side effects. I'm glad I finally found something that works."


"No side effects. Did not see anyone who listed pain relief. It was prescribed for my daytime sleepiness, but I noticed that my arthritic pain (knees and back) was much less. Had much more energy as well."


"The first 2 day's I felt very sick but now everything is wonderful. I feel 100% better."


"So basically the same as everyone else . I took it for my first time a few years ago and tried it for a few months but my bleeding would go on for almost the whole month.
So I stopped

I started again in October and my period was late 19 or 20 days so I thought this time would be different. Ended up bleeding for a few weeks? Stopped December 31 or 1st then started again on January 7th and it isn't just spotting . I don't know why I decided to take it again. It was definitely a terrible decision. I'm not sure why I let my doctor talk me in to it.

I'm only giving it 2 stars because at least it's worked at not getting me pregnant.

 Definitely not getting my next shot."


"This has been the most costly, ineffective, pain CAUSING nightmare of my life! Not only did my insurance company deny its use, it actually caused more musculoskeletal then I already have!  My joints feel like they have all been run over by a truck!  The side effects are horrible!  I only just figured out today, after being on this medication for the past 3 weeks, that the actual medication was making my pain worse!  I have so much joint pain that I can barely get out of bed, not to mention the constant headache and severe fatigue!  I will definitely not continue this medication, in fact, as of today, I am done and am going back to OxyContin. It may have a terrible reputation for being addictive, but at least no side effects!"


"Since April 2017 I have been taking valsartan for HBP...the doctor started me of first with 320mg for about, I think, 2 months, then changed to 160mg, because I it was giving me lower back pain when I mentioned it to him, also pain on my left side. My pressure continues to be high (170 to sometimes 190, plus three other medication as well for HBP. I feel like a guinea pig having to use so many BP pills. I know that salt is not the only cause for sometimes suffering from HBP, I believe it could be other things that causing HBP that Primary Care doctors not willing to tell patients . I used to take hydroclorizide...depleted me without no signs, lisinopril which had swell up my face, and others."


"This is my second week on Trulicity.  Nausea(comes and goes), abdominal cramping, constant full feeling, Guess thats what helps you loose weight, who wants to eat when they feel like they just ate.  UUUUGH!!! headaches all day, muscle at base of neck on left side hurts. No diarrhea thank god (yet anyway). Just an over all not so good feeling. Not sure if I will stay on this Med.  But trying it out to see if it lowers my sugar.  I can deal with nausea but stomach pain and diarrhea  no way."


"If you want to live life on a drug, this worked!  But beware for when you come off!  Best bet is to supplement naturally.  Your body is lacking something that you can get in a better-for-you form.

Withdrawal symptoms are terrible!"


"I have very loud tinnitus (hissing-ringing in ears) from exposure to noise in submarine engine rooms for several years. I take 1/2 mg lorazepam at bedtime to let "sleep find me". I have been taking this for 4 years and have NO after effects. I wake up feeling awake and good. Some sleep meds leave me feeling "drugged" in the morning. No so for Ativan.

It works well for me and I can stop (have done so at times) with no withdrawal symptoms other than not sleeping well.

Good stuff for me. I am not an addictive type and went thru high school, Navy, college and 40 years of work and have NEVER used or tried recreational drugs.

Thanks."


"I'm a veteran birth control user 6  years and this one is so-so. I was on Seasonale for about 3 years. I had to switch to this one because my insurance didn't cover it anymore. So far I've been on it for 1 month and if you have normal skin *not* prone to breakouts, - do not go on this pill. It will break you out bad. Even down there! Which never happened to me before. It does the exact opposite of Seasonale. Seasonale dried the vaginal area and this pill makes you discharge so much it's never dry hence the breakouts. Moods are pretty normal. Sex drive is a little bit better than Seasonale since you don't have to use lube. Overall it's okay. I'm going to switch though as soon as I am done with the 3 pack."


"I started Belviq in March 2016.  Staring weight 225. Now July 2016. Down 23lb. Along with exercise and correct Thyroid medicine. Seeing great results.  Being on Belviq for 4 months the results are slowing down a bit.  Hoping it's just something I have to push thru.  Only side effect slight headache in the beginning."


"I've been on this nightly for about 4 years now because of back pain I don't sleep well.  It does a good job of helping me sleep but now it is causing my eyes to become very dry so I will look for an alternative."


"I am 26 and have been on this BC for 6 months now. I took another brand (with higher does) before but it caused a lot of negative side effects including fainting, night blood pressure and nausea. My doctor recommended Lolo for managing my PCOS and it has been great. First pack was like an adjusting period where cycle was irregular, disgusting discharge, etc. Periods now come regularly. No weight gain (or loss). Blood pressure remains the same. Because it has lowest does among all other brands, I have to take it everyday and at the same time or I will have light bleeding (like one drop...) the next day. Why go with a higher does when you can achieve the same effect with lower?"


"I'm 22 and got Skyla inserted in March 2015. Upon insertion I experienced cramps, my hands tingled, and I felt like I was going to vomit. But that all lasted for about 15 seconds. When I got home I felt extremely sick; I was nauseous, cramping bad, and had moderate bleeding. The bleeding and spotting lasted for about 2 weeks then stopped. I have not had any periods just spotting here and there. I did have a bacteria infection got prescribed some meds and it went away. I've now been experiencing severe cramps and bleeding after intercourse. Appointment for an ultrasound to make sure it is in the right place so we will see. I haven't had a pregnancy scare so I guess it is doing its job."


"Since pre-menopause/menopause began, I've been gaining 3-5 pounds a year over the last ten years and was 193 lbs on my last doctor visit. Doctor recommended Qsymia as a way to jump start weight loss and motivate me to make lifestyle changes. She recommended no more than 1200 calories a day. I was told to avoid caffeine because of potential stimulant effect of Q. Wrong! I got the drowsiness side effect the first day. After that, I've kept to my 1-2 cups of coffee and I've done fine. I fall asleep no problem, but I do find that I wake up a few times during the night--but that can also be attributed to my pets and needing to urinate from all the extra water I'm drinking. My scale arrives tomorrow so I can track weight loss."


"I GOT A 30 DAY SUPPLY OF 150 MG FOR FREE!!!  It would have been $500 as I have no insurance. But my doc gave me a Nuvigil Savings Card!! Plus I get refills for $5! Can't believe my luck!  So, please ask your doc for a card or coupon. It's good for both insured and uninsured. This promotion expires at the end of the year though. Not sure if they'll offer it in 2015.

I've only been on it for two days but the results have been fantastic. I switched to this from Adderall, which gave me energy and made me more social but made me jittery and did not help with my concentration or organization. Nuvigil helps me stay focused, motivated and clear headed throughout the day."

"I've had mirena for about a year now, everything was perfectly fine until about 3 months ago. I've had very bad pain and cramping, it gives me mood swings, no energy to do anything,

And sharp pains while  having intercourse. I'm getting it taken out next month,

It's too much of a pain ...

Anyone suggests any better BC ??"


"I bought the 3day generic miconazole combo pack. They are suppositories, not cream.  1 hour in and have no problem what so ever! I have dealt with the cream in the past & yes it can be a horrible experience! I'll probably never select the messy cream again since there is a cleaner option. But for those of you that have & will, I have some definite tips that I've learned. 1. Clean your privates & dry well before using. 2. Put the external cream on the surrounding area before using the internal medicine. 3. Insert it only when you are absolutely going to bed. No getting up & down which forces the medicine out prematurely. 4. Get up in a.m., take a shower, dry well. use ext cream again. Use mini pad."


"I started Benzaclin a little over a week now, on November 9th 2016. My face was covered in little acne bumps that gave my skin an awful skin texture and when I wore foundation you could see just how bad it was, especially in the light. I also had hormonal acne on my chin and a little bit on my jaw line. The tiny bumps on my skin are already mostly gone, the skin texture is so smooth and soft, my face is obviously really dry from this but its not uncontrollably dry. I just use a really good moisturizer during the day. With this week being very busy for me with school I haven't been eating my usual healthy diet and I still haven't been breaking out as I normally do if I eat poorly. This stuff is amazing and I'm seeing great results."


"My whole life I've had horrible periods. After having 3 kids my gyno finally discovered that my ovaries produce way too many eggs and my uterus has an extra thick lining. My tubes have been tied for 9 yrs. After having nightmare periods my Dr prescribed me provera. I've been on it for 2 months. The Dr said that as long as I take it, I won't have a period. Well I started a wk ago on my period again. It's been nonstop w absolutely no signs of quitting. I'm incredibly frustrated. The cramps and fatigue are more than I can handle."


"Aviane is the first pill I have been on. So far I have had no spotting just a few pimples here and there and NO major mood swings. I do tend to get mad a bit faster but it's no big deal. I haven't gained any weight. I actually lost 4 lbs. Plus I heard of it lessening your sex drive. I actually feel like being more active while on this pill. Altogether I think it works great .. just remember everyone's body is different."


"I was prescribed Imbruvica for CLL after being in remission for several years. The past protocols had always worked but where very hard on my system. The side effects weren't as extreme as with other treatments. But Imbruvica did not work at all for me. Taking the drug has made my health & quality of life worse and now having stage 4 CLL my prognosis is grim. I lay in the hospital having numerous transfusions that are nothing more then a bandaid for my very soon eminent death."


"Started taking Deplin to curb the side effects I was feeling on Lexapro. I'm not really sure if was working or if I just thought it was working. It also cost a lot of money."


"I was advised by a pharmacist to use this when I burnt my finger on the stove. It was a mild burn not requiring medical attention but it was bothersome.  This needs to be in your first aid kit."


"Trying to get this medication from my Pharmacy because it works so well but I'm not able to because it cost $1,900 and I'm so sick and tired of getting the runaround"


"I got the implant put in the beginning of February this year, 2015, I am 18 years old weighed approx 125 before and after almost four months later, height is 5'3, and before I had the implant I was on a birth control they set me up with that was supposed to be closest to the hormones in Nexplanon only an oral version. That was the worst three months of birth control ever, heavy period every other week, morning sickness, constant tricking of my body's senses. With this implant life has been great, period stopped that month and have only spotted once just recently. Mood swings are minimal if not non-existent feel more laid back than usual and have an appetite for food and my boyfriend which is more than I could ask for (: Recommend !!!!!!!!"


"I have been on this pill for nearly 2 years. I have not had a single period and no spotting after the first 3 months. Which has been great because I used to have horrid cramps. On the down side I have become terribly depressed, and have gained a LOT of weight. After the pack that I'm on is out I am going off of this pill."


"My second time on the medication. I quit for a year on it before and the first time I only used it for 3 months. Now using again to quit but this time I'm not letting any horrible life event bring me back to smoking. This is the only thing that works for me. Its amazing and even it give me hi-def crazy realistic dreams I actually I don't mind dreaming about Ryan Reynolds on a yacht except when I wake up and its not real. In all seriousness it's amazing"


"I purchased Aftera at my local CVS because they were out of Plan B. Took it maybe 15 hours after having intercourse on 10/06. Didn't have any symptoms from the pill. Fast forward to 10/24 the regular day for my cycle to start. Yes I was getting nervous after reading mixed reviews of some getting pregnant, early cycle, serve cramping and some late cycles. But I can now add that as of 10/27 it was just later than norman yet still no cramping and nauseous. I don't normally have those issues anyway. So I hope my review helps someone seeking if this pill really works."


"I had unprotected sex with my fiance on Nov 3, he finished completely inside me. I took Plan B with in 2 hours of this event. It happened again Nov 5, I took another Plan B. We want kids but I keep getting scared, don't judge. Side Effects: I had light to mild cramps from Nov 7th thru Nov 13th all day/night.Today, Nov 13th, my cramps became severe and I started my period, a day prior to my period due date. For this entire week I was PMSing, and had pregnancy like symptoms (backache, cramps, sensitive to some meat smells, extreme fatigue, bloating, I had some morning sweet cravings. I am also athletic, 145lbs, very active, all I can say is that PLAN B works! I booked my appt, to get birth control. Not ready for kids yet! good luck ladies"


"I have had depression, anxiety and insomnia issues for decades, and have tried many approaches for these issues, including psychological, sleep study, endocrine, chiropractic, acupuncture, herbal formulas, homeopathics, aromatherapy, exercise, meditation, diet, and too many depression and insomnia medications to count. While I have had some success, especially with more natural approaches, I found this past several years that NOTHING helped, or it didn't help for long. My doctor recently gave me some Silenor samples to try, and I was absolutely blown away by their efficacy. I took the lower dose of 3mg 30 minutes before bedtime and slept great all the way through the night, 8-9 hours! No side effects, either. I wish I could afford them!"


"Wow is all I can say...
Within 30 minutes... I could feel the effects of the Ambien.
Within 3 minutes of my head hitting my pillow. I was out like a damn light. I only woke up once in the middle of the night,and that was because my husband was moving around on the bed.
But I went right back to sleep.

This stuff has given me the best sleep I've had in WEEKS. Thank you!"


"I was diagnosed with panic disorder and generalised anxiety disorder 24 years ago. I suffered for many years during that time and did not take any medication with the view that I would fix the issue naturally. I tried the natural way for years, avoidance behaviour became the norm and a way of coping. 9 years ago I was at tipping point in a very stressful job and finally was prescribed xanax (alprazolam) by a GP. For the first time since my teens when the anxiety began, I finally had relief. This medication has been a complete game changer for me and has improved my quality of life by 1000%. I have been taking 0.5 mg twice a day for the past 8 years and haven't had to increase the dosage. This medication is now sadly classified as a level 8 drug in Australia due to people who don't need it abusing the drug and ruining it for those who really need it. My psychiatrist is now trying to switch me to Ativan. I have been taking it for approximately a month now and it makes me feel depressed and empty and I have never had depression. I need 2 mg to ease my anxiety (double the dose of xanax) and it basically makes me feel like crap. Feeling incredibly overwhelmed and annoyed that this medication which has helped me so much will probably no longer be available in Australia."


"I had unprotected sex on May 29th. The pull out method was not used (alcohol was involved). I took the day after pill about 4-5 hours after sex. I am 5'5" and 168 lbs. Found out the pill did not work and I am in fact pregnant. Took 3 pregnancy tests on June 19th... all positive. I am not sure if it was my weight or possible alcohol involved on why the pill did not work?"


"I love this medication. I wasmin pain for 7 months with no sign of relief. My doctor gave me samples and I could not believe the instant relief I got from this medication. So far I'm not experiencing any side effects and I hope it continues to be this way."


"After being diagnosed with PDD/ADHD, it was suggested that my son (then 5) try Intuniv.  Initially, he was extremely lethargic, not being able to get out of bed.  This was only a day or two.  We noticed a difference within days and a completely focused child!  However, after a few weeks he was becoming extremely obsessed with germs constantly washing his hands.  We counted 14 times in a 15 min span!  His poor little hands were raw and chafed a bright red.  It didn't matter, he kept washing.  Our pediatrician referred us to a psychiatrist (as he had never experienced this side effect) and the psych said that it was due to the PDD.  We took him off.  If it hadn't been for the side effects, the Intuniv worked quite well."


"For me there was just as much good as bad. Bad:extreme cramping, random cycles and weight gain. This August I will have had my Implanon 3 years and it's been the same ever since. But the procedure was absolutely painless and I had no complications after. On the bright side, I'm not pregnant. "


"I think I speak for anyone who has ever suffered tremendous pain from a condition that you have no control over. I myself, can actually function at work on this medication. Some people have to work an 8 to 10 hour day first and have to wait till you get home to take a pain pill that ultimately knocks them out.  It shouldn't have to be that way. This medication not only works, but for some people you don't have to wait all day for relief.  I get the relief I need without the narcotic effect.  Kudos to the pharmaceutical genius who thought of this one."
