"I'm 53 and have had acute bronchial asthma my entire life. ProAir is by far the least effective and most problematic delivery system for albuterol I've experienced. While the inhalers are supposed to have 200 metered dosages, they fail through leakage and clogging. We realistically average 50-75 uses per inhaler. Air travel almost always destroys usability. Because of clogging and priming, actual dosage is inconsistent with this particular brand. It is a health hazard, a deeply flawed delivery system that endangers patients. DO NOT RELY upon a single inhaler if you use ProAir as even "full" and "brand new" units are prone to immediate failure."


"Was in College when I treated. At high doses (approximately 225mg), I was lethargic, cloudy headed and angry. Drug caused SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction. It aggravated stress levels. But for my mom, this medication has given her life back to her, "curing" depression, lowering anxiety, and inspiring creativity."


"Don ever remember feeling 100% on effexor

Bad withdrawal symptoms.

I went from 150mg of effexor to 10mg of cipramil and feel alot better.

There is no way il everl be taking effexor  and wouldnt recommend it to anyone, to many side effects."


"I am a 50 year old male and pre-Axiron, testosterone tested out at 323 in the morning.  I was feeling tired, sluggish, no sex drive and falling asleep in the early evening.  I started using 60 mg a day of Axiron.  I noticed a huge increase in energy and increased libido during the first two days.  Day three I could feel the effects of Axiron tapering off and I returned to feeling tired and sluggish.  After one month of using Axiron, a morning test of my testosterone tested out at 257.  Axiron dosage was just increased to 90 mg a day.  I am not sure why Axiron would work initially and then stop working.  I will give the 90 mg a day of Axiron a try for another month and have my testosterone re-tested."


"The first month of taking this pill my period was nine days long. It's normally 5 so the extra days we're very frustrating for me. Since starting this bc, I've gone up a cup size. So that's a plus however my boobs and nipples hurt constantly. Some days are better than others but it is very painful. I feel like crying over tv shows, which has never happened before."


"A truly great medicine, pardon the pun! Helped me lower my blood sugar numbers immensely.  Insurance doesn't cover it, so won't be on it long, but it has made a huge difference in my quality of life.  My GP hooked me up with samples otherwise I wouldn't have been able to afford it."


"My husband just started Savella about 3 weeks ago.  He has had Fibromyalgia for 30 years and has been to countless doctors, tried vitamins, exercise, change in diet, etc. with only nominal relief.  He is AMAZED at the difference he feels on this medicine.  He doesn't wake up with the aches or feels the chronic fatigue.  He has new energy.  Unfortunately, our insurance won't approve it - due to not "failing" enough other treatments/medicines. "


"My BMI was 38 so I tried it. I hated the side effects. They were bad. It even hurt when I went to the bathroom! No pounds lost either after 3 weeks. It's expensive too."


"Relpax has changed my life! I have suffered with migraines for years. I know they are usually hormone related. Relpax is like a miracle, most days I can take it as soon as my headache starts and within the hour I am pain free.  Relpax recently saved my Disney Vacation!"


"Tastes awful, but it could be worse. I read a gazillion reviews and tips before undertaking my first dose at 3:30 p.m. I did divide the diluted dose into two portions, added a little Polar Half and Half (lemon/grapefruit soda) and some crushed ice. Still very bitter and salty. Took long gulps through a wide straw, breathed through my mouth and then "chased" between with lemon wedges and sips of the 32 oz of water you are supposed to follow up with. Some burping while drinking. Took 30 mins to drink and 30 mins to kick in and I've been going for the last 2.5 hrs. Some cramps; a tad nauseous. Not looking forward to the 2nd dose. Keep telling yourself that it's better than getting colon cancer (my dad died of it)."


"My intention is not to freak anyone out, but just to encourage people to discuss the possibility of conception, even with emergency contraception. Is Plan B effective? Yes. Is it 100% effective? NO! So please consider the possibility instead of listening to someone on the internet who tells you not to worry, and that this pill works without a doubt. This is your life and you need to be safe and take care of yourself. Don't stress, but don't put all your faith in what some users seem to consider a "magic pill"."


"I have had chronic constipation most of my life and never thought too much about it just accepted it. I've been on pain meds for close to 6 yrs and they are definitely making it worse that I'm having pain which concerned me so I had a CT scan to make sure the pain wasn't coming from something serious, so the Dr felt the constipation was the cause. I'm on day 1 of this stuff and I was prescribed 30 mil 3x day. I waited for a day I could be home in case it got bad. I had my first bowel movement about 1 hr. after dose and 3 total since the 1st dose. (took 3 hrs ago)  I think I'm gonna stick with 1 a day for now and if it slows down then add the second dose and work my way up if nessasary. It taste like honey but thinner consistency."


"By the third day that I have started this medication; I have now began to experience severe dizziness and horrible headaches. Blurred vision and nausea occurs when the dizziness and headaches are at it's peaking point.  The side affects are hard to deal with, and do not seem to be going away at all, but in fact seem to intensify."


"I have back pain every day of my life.  My doctor prescribed Ultram.  I took it for a few weeks and the pain never subsided at all.  This drug is as useful as screen windows in a submarine.

And. . .After I stopped taking it I had bad withdrawals!!  Do not take this drug!!!!!"


"Works well for pain."


"I love this birth control. I was on Microgestin for almost a year but I started to develop unpleasant symptoms around my time of the month so I switched. When I get my period now, I bleed maybe 3 or 4 days and only experience some mild back pain. I rarely cramp or get bloated. After the first two days are over, it's almost as if I'm not even on my period. The acne I got from the other birth control has cleared up also. I've been blessed with light periods all my life but this birth control seems to work very well with me."


"I have struggled with depression as long as I can remember. I was first started with Zoloft. It worked for 3 months. I felt great! Then it stopped working. Same exact thing with Viibryd. It's supposed to be fabulous and better than all other antidepressants. I've read reviews on how it's tremendously helped people. It just hasn't helped me. I felt a difference while taking the medication and again it stopped. I spiraled back into my depression. I'm currently trying different treatments and apparently I was misdiagnosed. I am bipolar."


"I switched from epzicom,rayataz,norvir, to epzicom,prezcobix. So far i got itchy rash on my arm my viral load has gone up. gives me insomnia swollen legs , back pain , realy bad insomnia . i would not recomend this to anyone . the original reg i was on just gave me insomnia so i am going to switch back and hope my viral load goes back down."


"I used the $25.00 "Care Card" for the allowed 2 months.  My face cleared up completely, with no side effects.  I was told my 3rd refill would cost $440.00 per month, so I had to stop taking it.  "


"Took tamoxifen 9 months. Extreme bruising. Switched to Arimidex. After 4 weeks, extreme pain in hand. Next severe headaches. Each month brought increased pain in thumbs, hand, feet, long leg bones. Joints hurt, wrists weaken every month. After 10 months became depressed and had insomnia. Finally, had enough and stopped. Within, 2 weeks long bone pain went away. I still have some knee pain, trigger finger, and wrist weakness and its been 3 months. Doctor switching to Aromasin next month."


"I'm tapering down from 100-200mg of hydrocodone per day to 20mg per day. Also, quit 20mg of Dilaudid per day. The first couple of days were hell. I finally called my doctor and told him what was going on. He prescribed me the Clonidine patch. It has helped me tremendously! The only side effect I have had is a little dizziness when I get up too fast. But I feel great and am on day 4 and down to 20mg of hydros and still feel good! Like I never started them. By the way, I have been on them for 4 years through pain management for severe diabetic neuropathy. I highly recommend this product."


"After years of migraines which continued to get worse. I was getting them almost everyday, and ending up in the ER several times Depakote has come to the rescue. I tried Neurontin, and Topamax both did nothing. It's been several weeks and no headache...what a relief this has been for me. I am praying this continues to work."


"I have been taking Remeron for about 3 years now and only recently are the side effects bothering me. I started taking it to counterbalance my ADHD medication so I could sleep at night. However I stopped taking my ADHD medicines and I have noticed weight gain. I'm assuming its a bit of both medicines though. Also, the drowsiness is becoming a big issue as I am sleeping through my 9am classes and I have a hard time getting awake for a long period of time. I do however love that I can sleep through the night and fall asleep fast, which has always been an issue for me. I also love the vivid dreams!"


"I've tried out all sorts of drugs and never thought I would feel myself again.  This drug has helped me get my life back.  I feel positive for the first time in 4 years.  Of course, I still have my wobbles, but it has allowed me to eat, exercise and socialize, which I wasn't doing before.  I'm hoping to keep building momentum, so I can lead a full and happy life, rid of anxiety, panic attacks and depression.  A god-send drug.  I don't care if its hard to wean off.  I will stay on this forever is necessary"

"Our mom has been on Seroquel for just over a year.  She was diagnosed with Sundowner Syndrome and hallucinates, becomes very fearful and afraid.  This has helped a great deal.  We have had to increase the dosage on few times. It has never made her sleepy however when she does go to sleep she gets good rest."


"Before propranolol I would have extreme anxiety before any public speaking event.  My heart felt like it would pound out of my chest and every time I would try to speak my voice would shake uncontrollably.  Believe it or not even introducing myself at a conference room table was difficult for me.  As each person would say their name and introduce themselves and I could see it getting closer to my turn my heart would start to race uncontrollably.  Then when I finally said my name my voice would shake! After I found propranolol everything changed!  I was so relaxed in meetings and during any speaking event that I actually started volunteering to give presentations in front of people! 40mg one hour before I speak works wonders for me!"


"they call these muscle relaxers they don't do that for me. all these pills are to me is a sleeping pill that's all they help me with so I only take one at night so i can get some sleep"


"I have been taking Lyrica for about 2 years. I couldn't face life without it. I take 200mg x2 a day. I have managed to cut my pain meds down. I am still tired but that will come with conditioning my body again. I have intensive physio therapy twice a year and have founf improvements after each session. I have gained about 30lbs but part of that is due to inactivity.

Only downside is that if I miss a dose I feel dreadful."


"I have had years of urinary tract infections and trouble getting rid of them.  After cultures showed that the sulfa and penicillin drugs are not effective at all, Macrobid is the only one I take and sometimes it doesn't stop the infection on the first "round". Catching the infection early is important.  For some of the comments I just read, I suggest that you suggest to your Doctor, that you want a culture taken to see which drugs actually work on your particular bacteria.  I am on a new "regimen" now where I will finish up a full round of Macrobid and then take something else for a few months for prevention. Taking this drug for too long can cause lung problems."


"I unfortunately had to remove my wonderful IUD and was forced to resort to taking birth control pills.  I have taken them in the past before I had my child so I didn't think it would be an issue.  I have been bleeding since the day I started taking ranging from spotting to heavy.  My breasts are so swollen and painful, it is miserable.  I have had random cramps that are debilitating.  The doctor switched me to the Ortho Cyclen today, hoping that helps.  I have never been this uncomfortable before. I feel swollen and bloated everywhere. I have taken 3 pregnancy tests because it just seemed within a week my body was acting like that of a 9 month pregnant person, all negative thank goodness. Getting back on the IUD as soon as possible."


"After just taking this for a week I am too weak and too tired....Can't seem to make it through a whole day without feeling like I am going to fall asleep."


"I am on Chantix since last Monday, February 3rd 2013. Tomorrow is my 8 day-quitting day, so lets see. I am still smoking, but as half as I did before. Usually I smoked around 10-15 cigarettes/day, and now I can see that I cut this amount into half at least. My worst enemy is MORNING COFFEE and I realized that I am smoking a few especially during that time. I am going to try to cut off coffee especially in the morning time. About side effects I worried a lot before when I started with medications,  but so far NONE. I follow instructions and some other review helped a lot, always drink a pill during or right after the meal with a full glass of water. The only "side effect" is DREAMS, but nothing to be afraid of its just a dreams!"


"I was on this medication for years for OCD anxiety depression PTSD , then wanted to get pregnant and switched to Zoloft. The Z stopped working after a year and terrible panic attacks started happening again. Went back on P.

Overall, I am happy to not be crying all the time and not snapping at my family. I have a much better time on P than on Z.

My only problem is the weight gain that comes with it. It's very sad for me to gain 20 pounds.

But still, it's better than being so scared all the time.

Please, make sure you take as directed. It takes six weeks for medicine like this to work. You won't know after a day or two.

Stay strong"


"Seriously, I have been in agony for the majority of today after taking 2 pills at 9 pm last night. The dosage reads "1 to 3" pills so I took 2 thinking that I don't want to take too much or too little. This morning, I had 2 soft but reasonably normal bowel movements. Shortly thereafter, throughout the entire day, I had diarrhea seven times! Every time I have a few nibbles of saltines or bread, I have to run to the toilet again! So I will continue to drink ginger ale and herbal tea till I can go to bed without pooping again. Needless to say, I do NOT recommend this product!"


"I've been on it for 4 days. No weight loss yet but it does decrease  appetite with very little  nausea. The needle is painless. I'll keep you posted :)"


"I am finishing my second month of twice per week injections of Enbrel and it had worked wonders for me. I no longer have the plaque Psoriasis and I can finally wear short sleeves without being embarrassed. Going on job interviews was torture in the summer because I always wore long sleeves to hide my embarrassment of the psoriasis. Even some of my patients asked me if I was contagious because the scales got so bad. I am a nurse so giving the injections to myself was a whole lot different then giving shots to my patients.  I rotate the sites around my body and have not had any site reactions.  I don't think I've had any bad reactions to Enbrel and I hope I never do. As long as it keeps working I will keep taking the injections."


"This is a miracle for me. I have experienced abrupt withdrawal, but that was my fault and all that happened was my vision was extremely blurred and I was in bed a few days. Do not drink with this medication, take it AS needed instead of all the time, then you won't have withdrawals if you forget to take it. I don't understand why this old trusted medication isn't prescribed more often, it never produced "euphoria" or anything like that for me or anyone I know on it - but it's dangerous with alcohol I guess and so many people drink. I've been on 6mg a day - which I found way too much and went down to 2mg on my own."


"I've been on chateal for around 6 months now, I was originally taking lzya which wasn't working out for me with abnormal bleeding, but since taking chateal I've had no issues. I think it's very effective as a birth control, no weight gain, I don't think it's effected my mood at all either, sex drive is fine, and Its even pretty good with controlling acne, I'm pretty happy with it and like it a lot more than what I was taking before"


"Not the drug for me. It made me very jittery. Restless legs +++."


"I've been on Seasonique for a little over 6 weeks. I was previously on Depo Provera on and off for the last 8 years (used NuvaRing on the breaks from Depo) and I was on Depo for the last year non-stop.

Seasonique is a life saver. On Depo I had crazy mood swings, uncontrollable crying fits, and severe depression. Within 2 weeks of starting Seasonique, I was a normal person! I didn't realize that Depo had created those side effects. I just thought I was crazy, but Seasonique changed everything for me. My acne even subsided dramatically and I'm finally losing ALL of the weight I gained on Depo. I really believe Seasonique saved me. I have recommended it to every female I know."


"Buspirone has improved my life!  Initial response was unpleasant.  Prescribed 10mg 1/2-1 pill every 6-8 hrs. First dose felt odd, not myself, jittery, detached.  Others positive reviews prompted me to started w/only 1/4 pill before a nap then 1/2 before bed. Being asleep made a difference, woke up refreshed, alert, at ease. Then took 1 pill 3 x day.  Day 5 the constant ringing in my ears from tinnitus was less noticeable and my stress level better.  After a month I feel so much happier!  Positive, alert, more in control. Negatives: vivid dreams.  Symptoms of my autoimmune disorder are improved, it appears Buspirone helps in more ways than is listed and has turned out to be the single most effective med I take. Wish I had it years ago!"


"Made me extremely nauseous by just taking half of the prescribed dose."


"Absolutely awesome. I was suffering from Narcolepsy. Now, I am able to do anything that I want. Quiet amazing. I feel that I was always only able to achieve about 25%. Now I am around 100%."


"This is the most effective drug, but also the most physically and mentally deteriorating drug. I experienced acne, moon face, hair loss, depression, anxiety, increased appetite but no wight gain. I recommend this but think of the side effects before you take it."


"Myofkex is best cream i have found for immediate pain relief for all my joints.  I use for my knees, feet and hands.

Disappointed that I have to order it on line to get it.

It works  every time."


"OK so I am 13 and I am in eighth grade right now and I'm here to tell you the story of how I got bullied in school because of the bad acne that I had and a whole bunch of black spots but then  a merical happened when I got onto this medication my face totally cleared up and I just had  a couple of months like  three months and the results are so good and I can show everybody  Who made fun of me that you know like look now you get to see the real me  trust me this medication really works just when you feel like you're about to lose hope that's when you don't this medication has improved my confidence I feel better in my own skin and I like my skin now"


"I've only been on Latuda for a week, what a difference it has made in my mood. It has lifted the depression & debilitating anxiety. I take it along with Depakote & Klonopin (both of which I've been on for many years). I take it at night because it makes me sleepy. It does give me a "lump in the throat" sensation, for some reason, about an hour and 1/2 after I take it and that feeling lasts about 2-3 hours.  The next day it's gone.  I will talk with my psych PA about it, to see what it may be.  I haven't had this much motivation in a very long time, and it's not a manic or hypomanic feeling, I just feel like living again.  I hope it continues to work well and doesn't cause any intolerable side effects."


"I am productive but I am not myself, I can't sleep.  I stay up for days on end because there is so much I have to do.  My body just wants rest, my pulse is pounding behind my eyes.  I can't remember the last time my body or my mind allowed me to eat, hunger is a distant memory.  I am gregarious in conversations and go off like Charlie Sheen.  I have stayed up for days, until white walls turned orange.  I have been on Vyvanse for a year and before that Medidate, Stratera, Concerta, Daytrana, Ritalin, Adderall.  I don't know who I am outside of my daily dose because I've been fed since I was 9, I'm 21 now. I have a 4.0 GPA, I am miserable. None of these are good, the alternative is worse."


"I have been on the Nexplanon for just about a year and don't have very many complaints about it. The implant was administered after my OBGYN injected me with meds to numb the area and I was surprised that it couldn't feel a thing! For the next 1-3 weeks, my arm was bruised and the site itched a lot but eventually faded away. I did notice that I lost 5-10 pounds in my waist, of which I was very excited about. Normally, I'm a coffee drinker who can drink a cup of black coffee and 30 minutes later, go right to sleep. Now, I am extremely sensitive to caffeine. Coffee, tea, or even Excedrin were making me feel anxious. Since then, I've stopped the caffeinated drinks and replaced them with water. I love it! NO BABIES! Well... For now."


"I loved this birth control shot and would recommend it. I took it for 6 months only problem is it gave me severe anxiety so I had to stop. Other than anxiety it was great. I lost about 7 pounds and it increased my sex drive. It's a shame I had to quit taking it!"


"Lamictal really worked great at stabilizing my moods and eliminating my manic episodes. I stopped blowing things out of proportion, being paranoid, and having rage attacks. I have been taking this with Wellbutrin everyday. The side effects were brutal to begin with the first few months and I had to go backwards on my dose and increase it slowly. I am always lightheaded and dizzy. The first few months I would lose my balance and have to grab something to prevent falling on a daily basis. Now I'm used to it and can recognize when I need to stop and let my body adjust before I move, but stabilizing my moods has been a life saver."


"Hi, it's me again just giving an update. I've got a few post and I'd like to continue to post my experience throughout this process. My last post was 5/15. I went back to my Doctor on 6/15 and was down another 9lbs with a total of 45lbs since I started taking victoza on 3/6/17. I'm still eating the same things, still no side effects,  and I am still very much happy with this product. Until next time..."


"I started Phentermine 37.5 along with B-12 shot on December 31, 2014 @ 294.6lbs as of January 23, 2015 I weigh 278.6 down 16lbs in 3 weeks. This is the truth. Highly recommend to whoever need that extra push to get summer time fine. Will update April 2015. Good Luck Everyone!"


"Well, I had the Merena for over 2 years, and the great thing about it is that I never had a period and I didn't have to worry about getting pregnant. The worse part was is that I had a terrible, terrible odor constantly, I'm the type of person who showers daily, and it was embarrassing. Also, I was never in the "mood" to have sex.  So I decided to get it removed and it has been over 6 months now and I have had absolutely no odor and my "mood" toward sex has changed a lot, for the better. Everyone is different and it is pretty much a see and try for yourself kind of thing."


"PROS

-completely clear skin after 4 months

-during treatment my hair got much less greasy and barely needed washing. However this stopped after i finished my course

CONS

-dry skin everywhere, although was manageable with a lot of moisturiser and lip balm

-eczema on arms, back of knees, and hands

-severe back pain lasting the whole duration of the course, couldn't be helped by physiotherapy

-(the worst side effect) irritable bowel syndrome. Severe pain while passing stools (to the extent of crying), constipation and blood when I wiped. Was severely debilitating and made me afraid of going to the loo for 4 months

SUMMARY

- despite the awful side effects, I do not at all regret taking roaccutane even though i only had mild-moderate acne"

"My wife is on this medication. Before the injection her count was 0.7 and after the injection it went up to 15. She hasn't felt any side effects, she has had 6 injections and is working ok. She has cancer of the appendix it a rare cancer."


"I had problems with motivation and just getting myself out of bed. Wellbutrin has helped significantly with this. It has made me more happy in general, in everyday situations. I am not as mopey and sad. This medicine has changed my life."


"I have arthritis in both shoulders.  It's a wear and tear issue as I'm 68 years old and have been exercising fanatically for 50  years.  My orthopedic doctor recommended Orthovisc injections and I have had great results.  I heartedly recommend Orthovisc.  Some studies have shown that people facing replacement issues have been able to put off the surgery or even avoid it altogether when following a regimen of two series a year with Orthovisc."


"I used Tincture of Opium for about 7 years for chronic diarrhea. This was the only medicine that could allow down the diarrhea. Unfortunately since it is a class 2 narcotic I was forced to retire my nurse license and go on disability. Took a remarkable 7cc's 6 Times a day and still had diarrhea flare ups several times a week. The pharmacists always questioned the dosage when I was hospitalized for any reason. I was forced to stop using it when the price went up. "


"Have taken it for years. Always cleared up my UTI."


"I've been on Amitiza for about a year, and while it works, it doesn't work as well as If like it to. I tried the 24 mcg dose at first but it was way too strong, definitely makes you run to the bathroom all day. I then switched to the 8mcg capsules twice a day. If I take them on an empty stomach, I get really nauseated, so I usually take them with a meal. I still had to use Miralax and fiber along with the Amitiza to ensure I stayed regular. Sometimes with all of this, I still got constipated, so I would take a 24mcg dosage and deal with the aftermath. When I did have a BM with Amitiza, it wasn't a "complete " one. It would make me poop out water, but it felt like the bulk of the stool was still left inside. I stopped taking it."


"I agree, this is one of the best treatments I have had for my fibromyalgia.  The trick is to get through the 1st couple of weeks.  I was told that 2 weeks is when your body is adjusting to the norepinephrine and nausea can be a temporary problem. Mine went away after the 2nd week.  It took a couple of weeks to start feeling the pain relief but once it started working, it kept working better and better.  Now, 4 months later, I can say this is the most energy I have ever had, pain is better and have even lost a few pounds.  I also take Lyrica and a low dose of Zoloft for my depression.  I finally feel like I have control of my life.  I still have days that are not as good as others but overall I feel like my fibromyalgia is manageable."


"Sooo I'm unwillingly pretty prone to YI's and didn't have the option of going to the doc for a prescription so I bought this one day tioconazole treatment and not having used this specific treatment looked up the reviews after I just used the application and was about to freak out as I've been laying here with my legs up to be thorough but thank God I saw not everyone had a bad experience and I'm not having any problems..to the people who have it says on the info right on the back that if having more serious and specific symptoms (which are on the box as well) to consult a doctor FIRST.  That being said I'm feeling fine and having no problems."


"I've had nexplanon for about two years, and I am finally getting it out! It started off great, no periods? Who wouldn't want that, well... My doctor failed to educate me of all the down falls of this method. I have had a headache every single day non stop ever since starting this method, I thought it was just me, until I researched and discovered nexaplanon could be responsible for that. I have gained 30(+) pounds!!! I eat so much, I have always been a little heavy but not this over weight! I can't exercise because I get so tired easily. I also have had severe abdominal pain, AGAIN, I blame my doctor for not informing me that this could happen. Yes it can prevent pregnancy, but at a cost, I would not recommend to anyone."


"Hi everyone! My name is Emily and I have had the implant for 4 months now. I have my period every month right on time but it is much lighter and there is no cramping. My doctor let me know that the implant is even safer then getting your tubes and you should not gain any weight from using this birth control. She told me the only thing people complain about is your period because it can come whenever or not at all. I haven't experienced any weight gain or mood swings like I did on the pill. My sex drive is healthy as well. I recommend this birth control !"


"I'm 53 and have had acute bronchial asthma my entire life. ProAir is by far the least effective and most problematic delivery system for albuterol I've experienced. While the inhalers are supposed to have 200 metered dosages, they fail through leakage and clogging. We realistically average 50-75 uses per inhaler. Air travel almost always destroys usability. Because of clogging and priming, actual dosage is inconsistent with this particular brand. It is a health hazard, a deeply flawed delivery system that endangers patients. DO NOT RELY upon a single inhaler if you use ProAir as even "full" and "brand new" units are prone to immediate failure."


"Like many others, I spent time reading A LOT of reviews because I was so scared of the pain during insertion. The actual insertion felt like a really quick, sharp jab (enough to make me say "ow" out loud but not unbearable.) It wasn't until right after insertion that I started having severe cramps. I had to lay there while she removed my Nexplanon (I was switching from Nexplanon to Skyla.) And afterwards, it took me awhile to even get up. The severe cramps lasted about an hour for me, and then were just mild for a few more hours. It's now been a few days and no cramps, no bleeding!! I truly believe it is worth it."

"I am on my 5th day of the 14 day treatment and am beginning to feel better. I read the effects on this drug and was very apprehensive about taking it. However, I am pleased to report that my side-effects are minimal. They include slightly bad taste, slight nausea and constipation. I'll report back upon the conclusion of my  treatment."

"I take Celebrex for tendinitis (in my elbows and ankles). Pain and swelling stopped within one day of taking 400mg, and I have been free of pain for several months. I now take a 200 mg capsule only when needed (and that isn't often)."


"I'm a 19 year old female with severe Crohn's disease.  I began Remicade 4 months ago following a severe flareup that landed me in the hospital, and it has been a miracle.  I did have one hospitalization 4 weeks ago, but I think I would have had many more without this.  I will admit that the infusions are long and expensive, and the fact that it's an IV (I hate needles).  With that being said, Remicade works!  In late August, I had 30cm of disease and a fistula.  As of late January, I was down to less than 9cm and my fistula is gone!  Without Remicade, I would have had more hospital visits and would probably have needed surgery.  I am adding Imuran to supplement the Remicade, so we'll see how that goes."


"I had mild constipation and took 2 Dulcolax pills at about 8 p.m.  Normal dose for children and adults is 1-3 tablets.  I woke up at 10:30 p.m. with severe burning and cramps in my stomach.  I also felt very nauseous.  I had to get out of bed and run back and forth to the bathroom for 3 hours with severe abdominal pain and cramping.  By 1:30 a.m. I was able to sleep but still uncomfortable.  It is about 8:00 a.m. now and I just took immodium to stop the diarrhea.  I will never take this drug again and certainly would advise against giving it to small adults or children."


"I got the Nexplanon put in July 10th (a month after I gave birth) and to this day (3.31.13) I am STILL bleeding! I have went to my dr and they gave me a pill that didn't stop the bleeding, I bleed every day all day and they don't know what to do, I am about to get it taken out. Granted I have not gotten pregnant but then again we don't have much sex due to the bleeding."


"I have been taking Mobic (meloxicam) for 1 month. I had knee surgery in January 08 and could barely walk, the pain was so bad. After my Doctor started me on meloxicam I'm able to walk pretty much pain free. I tried to stop taking it and the pain returned within two day's. I love it - best thing I have taken."


"I have just completed my first month on Contrave.  I have lost 9 pounds.  I didn't experience any significant side effects.  I was nervous at first because I didn't want something influencing my mind but the only thing it influenced was my appetite.  I am less hungry all the time.  I often have to force myself to eat.  I am working on making better eating choices and exercising.  So far so good!  I just purchased my second month supply and am eager to keep losing the weight.  I will post again after this supply is finished."

"The prep did what it was supposed to do.  Man up people.  Added crystal light lemonade and sucked on a few lemon wedges between gulps.  Tried the straw, made no difference.  I did put the prep in fridge day before.  It was fine.  It doesn't taste delicious but stop being a bunch of babies and just gulp it down."


"I've been taking Sam e for about 2 years, with a brief period of about 2 weeks when I stopped and quickly realized just how much this medication was helping me. I decided to try it due to increasing feelings of sadness and irritation (I have small kids at home and felt like my temper was getting shorter and shorter!). At first I thought it was helping "a little" but stopped because of the cost. About a week later I noticed I was becoming less and less tolerant to small things. When restarted the short temper quickly faded and I've stayed on it since."


"I've been taking Chantix for nine days, after having been a  2.5 - 3 pack-a-day smoker for 44 years.  Because of the length and strength of my addiction, I supplemented Chantix with smoking cessation hypnotherapy.  I have had no side effects.  I'm terrified of gaining weight, so the hypnotherapist includes suggestions such as "I will not snack" during my sessions.  He also includes "no irritability" suggestions. I've  taken to drinking diluted grapefruit juice instead of diet soda.  I'm down to seven cigarettes a day.  I still have triggers - like sitting at the computer - but, overall, cutting down on the way to quitting has been easier than I anticipated."


"Every time my migraines get bad enough that I end up at the ER or my back is aching from a fall (3 back surgeries), the doctors end up giving me an IV shot of this. It does work with the cocktail of meds to help calm my migraine but when it is first pushed into the IV please warn the nurse to dilute it and push it VERY SLOW as it makes your body feel like it is literally tingling on FIRE, especially your private parts. My friends call it the "crotch burner"."


"I had nexplanon inserted in Dec 2015 & it's still there. They numbed the area before inserting it. The area was sore for a couple of days after having it inserted, but the pain wasn't too terrible. The bruise was ugly & large, but after it healed I'm left with a tiny little scary at the point of insertion that's barely noticeable. My super painful period cramps stopped because I haven't had a period since I've had nexplanon. I didn't experience mood swings or bad skin. I feel more even keel with my emotions since being on it, no PMS. All in all a fantastic experience so far as opposed to my prior Mirena IUD birth control that became lodged into the side of my cervix and had to be surgically removed. I recommend Nexplanon!"


"I've had my third pacer put in the last 18 years. Before the first one I joined the 200 bpm club. Terrible. After my first pacer I still felt very powerful heartbeats. So powerful they kept me awake at night. Doc put me on 50 mg metatropanol and I've felt like a human being ever since. Only complaint is short term memory. 70 year old male."


"I've been on Farxiga for six months (I am also on 2000mg of Metformin daily) and my sugars seem consistent.  My sugars are higher in the morning, but regulate during the day.  I had dry mouth, but that has subsided.  Since the 2nd month of taking Farxiga, I have had vaginal yeast infections.  Before taking this medication, I had only one in my 45 years.  I have no increase in urination amount or frequency.  I do not have any associated pain.
I was on Victoza and loved the results I was getting, but had to stop taking it because of the cost.  Farxiga was a more affordable option, but insurance is now charging me even more than the price of Victoza.  I will likely go off of Farxiga and find something else.  I hope this helps someone."


"I've used Monistat twice before but I always purchased the 7 day pack. Never had any problems. This time I decided to try the 3 Day Pre Filled Applicator. This is the WORST decision I've ever made in my life! The second I pulled the applicator out (all of the product had not yet been entered) I felt an Intense burning sensation. I've never in my life felt like this. I don't have any STDs because I literally got checked a week ago and I'm not allergic because I've used this before.  It's now been an hour and I'm still burning.  I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!"


"The first time I tried Zoloft I hated it, made me feel very nauseous. My doctor wanted me to start on 50mg for 5 days and then go to 100mg, I never made it to day 3 on 50mg. SO I decided to try half of a half approximately 25mg and that worked fine! After 5 days I went to 50, then 5 more days 100, no problems! What I noticed that at the end of the first week was I was more at ease. It not only helped my social anxiety but also reduced my general anxiety too stretching out my Xanax for when I really needed it the most. Worth noting I also take Wellbutrin with the Zoloft and while it's not perfect, I am very happy and pleased with this combination."


"I've used Aviane for approx. 14 years, I'm 43 now.  My doctor recommended Aviane because it had a low hormone level.  I never gained weight and my period have for the most part always been light.  The only side effect that I've experienced is Melasma (dark spots on face).  I've recently tried to get off of this birth control but I experienced immediate weight gain. It could be attributed to my age...I don't know.   Since I'm single now am not sexually active right now I'm going to stop using Aviane to see if my dark spot problem clears up."


"My 11 year old was on Neurontin for 2 years for her migraines.  A few months ago the doctor needed to up her dosage to 600 mg/day because her weight had changed and she was getting more migraines.  She ended up with terrible side effects:  crying, anxious, paranoid, restless, overreacting, mood swings.  We have just weaned her off of it..not sure what we'll try next."


"I have taken Enbrel for 17 years - since I was 30.  I would not be a functioning individual without it.  I have not had psoriasis since I started taking it, either.  I know this sounds too good to be true, but it is my miracle drug.  I've never had any side effects or problems.  I am currently on the Sureclick but have also had to fill syringe needle and inject.  If you let medicine warm alittle, it doesn't burn as bad."


"Worst experience ever! I hate it I have been taking the tri-sprintec and I can't take it anymore, the side effects are just out of control, I gained weight within the first two weeks of taking it and I don't eat a lot just regular three times; then I started breaking out horribly the first week which I have never had a problem with acne my skin has always been clear of acne. And don't let me get started with the mood swings. This has been such a horrible experience with this birth control. I know all body's are different, but I wouldn't recommend it. I'm on my third week and I'll finish the month. But after that I'm not taking it."


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

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

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


"I wanted to give an update on my progress with Qsymia.  I started on 02/18/2014.  As of today I have losted 25 pounds.  I do light exercise 3-4 times a week (about 20 to 30 mins).  I love these pills and will continue until I have reached my goal.  I go to the doctor on 08/02/2014.  I will come back with another updated then.  In the beginning my insurance did not pay, but now they do and I only have to pay a copay of $40."


"Xanax has been great for me! I have suffered horribly for years from GAD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, fibromyalgia... and many more health problems. It actually gives me energy to get things done, and allows for peace and tranquility. I'm prescribed 3mg per day and it also helps me sleep at night. I've had trouble sleeping for years, but this medication has helped so much."


"I had nexplanon inserted during march of 2015, the first 2 months I noticed no changes. These last 4 months however, I have developed AWFUL acne on my neck and chin and face. It does not go away. I have gained 20 pounds, and have mood swings that are uncontrollable. I am 20 years old and dread going to college everyday as well as work because I am so embarrassed by these side effects. Also, I get my period every other week. Added to that, after sex the 3 days following I bleed. So basically I bleed all month. I have decided to have it removed (it is now September 2015) and I am so excited to be done with this."


"Don't be scared of other's reviews, I came here after being prescribed this medicine because I had never heard of it, and wanted to get more information.  After reading all the reviews, most of them telling horror stories about their experience.

I followed every letter of the instructions, I took each pill with a 16 oz glass of water, stayed seated or standing for 10-20 minutes, took as prescribed every 6 hours, and took a probiotic once a day.  After the first 36 hours I noticed the pain of the infection started to subside and the affected area got smaller.  After 72 hours on the medication, I was feeling back to normal.  The only side affect I noticed was a slightly upset stomach one day that I forgot to take the probiotic."


"I have had as many as 12 kidney infections a year since I was 19.  I am now 51.  I also have a history of creating kidney stones.  I have been on many antibiotics over the years. I have had serious allergies to other antibiotics,  i.e. stop breathing, rashes, becoming allergic to them after taking for extended use.  Cipro has been a blessing. I have not had a kidney infection in over 2 years.  So clearly whatever infection was able to hid prior to cipro is now gone.  Yes, there can be a bit a nausea, however, if I drink water, eat a bit first then take this antibiotic and continue to finish my meal, there is little to no nausea.  I have read the reviews and the warnings that comes with cipro.  I don't go in the sun, hiking, or biking,"


"I've been using victoza steadily since October 2016. I've had no side effects and along with diet my A1C has dropped from 10 to 6.9. I've lost almost 30 pounds as well. My only complaint is that there is waaayyyyyyyy too much left in the pen when it's reached it's last dose. I'm on 1.8mg. This is an expensive Med even with my discount card and my insurance. There needs to be away to get almost all of the med out. Too much is going to waste.
I take lantus as well and because of the unit measurement of the drug I'm able to use an insulin syringe to get all of my medications ( that's expensive as well). I hope this issue can be solved eventually. It hurts my heart and pocket to see that medication wasted. Thanks."


"I have severe Lymphadima and venous edema with pitting. I made the mistake of taking the medicine at night and was up urinating every 30-40 minutes in large quantities all night. This medicine made me extremely thirsty so you have to be sure to drink plenty of water when taking this medicine."


"This product is a life saver! I had sex with my boyfriend 3 days after my previous cycle ended and the condom broke. Obviously, very upset and scared I went out to my local shops and purchased Plan B for about $50. I took both pills within 4 hours of the incident. For about 4 days after the fact, I was experiencing cramping, extreme nausea, and was being very moody and constantly fighting with everyone around me. About a week and a half later I began spotting. It was dark red, very light and definitely not my period. This lasted for about 4 days. I didn't get my period on the expected time but I felt all the symptoms as usual. However my period came on the 44 day of my cycle. Almost 2 weeks late! THIS PILL WORKS."


"When I take this medication I sleep through the night with no pain but wake up restless and feeling anxious and nervous all day. Also I get heart palpitations and difficult breathing.  You have to be careful with this over the counter medication."


"I just started Lutera a month ago, but so far I am very happy with it. I put off going on birth control for years because I'm a sensitive person and thought that I'd surely be the type of person to react negatively to the hormones. However, since starting I feel great! I feel even-keeled and happy, and did not experience the usual intense mood swings and food cravings of my cycle. My period is light and I hardly experienced any cramping (in the past, I've had to miss work because I've been in so much pain). My boobs are a little tender and I do notice brown discharge/some spotting, but I haven't experienced any truly negative side effects. I'm really happy with Lutera and wish I had made the decision to go on it years ago!"


"I took Levaquin for a sinus infection. It cleared the infection but had terrible side effects. My heart was racing, pulse was like I had ran a marathon. It shot my potassium levels off the charts (had to take medication to flush my system of that)."


"I spoke with my doctor about constipation I am having on this diet. He walked me in the supply closet and handed me a sample of Linzess. I go to my desk and sit and start working away, about 30 minutes later my life would be forever changed. This medicine was made in the deepest, fiery depths of hell, this was a nuclear bomb I just swallowed. I am sure of it. As I am sitting at my desk and feel my stomach wrenching and bending as if someone was hand washing my colon, every inch of it, then the sweat, as if I had just ran a half mile marathon in record time. I am sitting at my desk still thinking it could not be this medicine I literally just took it 34 minutes ago I kept thinking. How can one pill in 34 minutes solve a lifelong problem? I will tell you how because satan himself is in this capsule. I immediately run to the bathroom because once again someone is hand washing every inch of my intestine..Oh Lord make the pain go away, and then he answered...The gates to hell opened up and it all began, I sat in a bathroom all day in periodic episodes for a total of 23 times. Please friends beware, I have warned you don't trust a medicine that can cure a lifelong problem in 30 minutes. I even heard my physician do a evil giggle as I scurried into the bathroom. I truly believe it was payback for my extended lunches."


"I have used most of the narcotics on the list, and now that I live in Florida it is almost impossible to get a Doctor to prescribe anything other than Aspirin.  Aspirin now has caused my stomach to act up due to ulcers so now I also need to take Prilosec 40 mg.  So far this is the best of these medicines on the list."


"I have been on Lexapro for 4 years and have gained 40 lbs.I have always been able to control my weight, but have gained steadily 10 lbs a year since beginning Lexapro. Other than the weight gain, overall, I felt like I was doing good on Lexapro until the last 6 months or so and even tried to get off of it, but was not successful. I went to see my doctor and she switched me to Pristiq. I feel so much better mentally and physically. I have been able to drop some weight and feel that there is hope for getting these extra pounds off.  I'm not nearly as lethargic and wake up in much better spirits than I have in a while. I am hopeful this medicine will work for me and that I am also able to lose the weight."


"This pill by far cleared up my acne! I've been trying different face washes for years, and the thing that worked the most was THIS PILL, which isn't even a face wash! I experienced no weight gain at all, I was actually hoping for weight gain. Also everyone was talking about how birth control pills helped your breast grow, and with Portia, it just didn't happen for me. Maybe because it was a low dose. It prevented pregnancy, and I had NO CRAMPS! Wooohoo! My periods were a lot lighter. I actually felt healthy on it!"


"Love this medicine. Have been on it a little over 2 mos and have lost 16 lbs.  I have not had any bad side effects and I take 2 in morning and 1 afternoon. I can still eat on Contrave, I just fill up faster so I'm eating less.  It has helped me to eat smaller portions.  When I first started taking 2 in the morning it made my stomach a little queasy but that subsides quickly. I plan to continue taking it!  I also like the messages I receive every morning when I weigh myself, it encourages and motivates me.  The weight loss and better eating habits have rubbed off on my family and they are eating better and less."


"I love this drug.  It helps to calm me down and keep me level headed even in times of extreme stress.  I honestly can not live without it."


"I am 47 years old...I had my Mirena removed today after 5yrs. The removal was easy & painless. I had a really good experience with this method of Birth Control. However my sex drive was very low and I experienced minor contractions (that's what I call them) they were more intense than cramps, nothing that a couple of Motrin couldn't handle. After the second year my period completely stopped, I still had PMS but no bleeding for the next 3 yrs. I'm taking a break trying the pill again for 3 months any problems I will not hesitate to have another Mirena inserted."


"I've been on Junel for 2 months now. And I haven't got my period. I also been extremely tired all the time and moody. My boobs always hurt. Going to talk to my doctor to see if they can change my birth control..."


"I have had experience with IBS symptoms in the past.. Thinking the diarrhea I was experiencing with this medicine was from that. But now I'm thinking its the medicine. Cured my bronchitis but the immense pain I had in my stomach and burning of loose stool was not worth it. Happened the first day and the last day of the 5 day regimen. So glad it's over, just hope the loose stool is over too. I will never take this antibiotic again unless my life depends on it."


"Do not take!! I woke up 2 hours after taking the pills confused, dizzy, sweaty, pukeing, and I've never had stomach cramps so bad in my life. I went back to bed at 12, and woke up at 7am with the same problems! I'd rather be constipated than take that again."


"I am on the Harvoni treatment, starting my second month of 3 and so far my only side effects are the headache and feeling tired at times, both quite tolerable , anxious to hear my blood results from month one ... Thank you Harvoni ."


"I managed to reduce the prednisolone dosage from 7mg to 2mg now after Doctor added 2 doxycycline capsules daily to my prescription from March 2014."


"I have had nothing but a great experience on this pill.  I've been on it for over two years now.  I've gained no weight, my chest is a little fuller but I didn't have to buy new bras, and, best of all, most months I don't have a period but if I do it lasts for a day or two and I only need a light tampon.  The negative is the cost but if you go on the Generess FE website you can print out a card so your pills only cost $25/month.  I highly recommend it!"


"Five years ago, for my last colonoscopy the nurse gave me a Versed cocktail, which put me under for about 10 seconds, then I woke up and literally felt no effects from the medicine.  The doctor then began the procedure and I was in such pain from the cramping that the nurse gave me a second dose of Versed, which I still powered through.  The effect was like being very drunk and thinking through molasses, but I was awake the whole time and able to watch the entire procedure on the television, mostly annoyed that it was so hard to concentrate.

This time, I received 260mg of propofol, within 10 seconds my head felt numb and then I was out cold.  In what seemed like the next instant I was dreaming and then opened my eyes in the recovery room."


"I've had DEPO PROVERA for about two years, for the first couple of months I was bleeding like crazy, then it lightened up to only spotting occasionally and bleeding the week my next shot was due. I gained 5 pounds throughout the two years which was not bad but recently I've been bleeding for almost a week straight it kind of sucks because I have a boyfriend and I want to have sex, I just have to deal with maybe the next time I'll get the shot it won't be as bad. If the bleeding continues as it does now I might just go back on the pill."


"I am on 240 mg once a day, Been taking meds since Feb 2011. Works GREAT for treating the heart problem only I have side effects. A week after starting the medication at the lowest dosage I developed sinus congestion. Increased my medication after six months and the congestion continued and now developed sinus drainage down my throat that caused a cough. Medicine was increased again and now the congestion/cough/wheezing is getting unbearable. I took myself off the medicines and within 4 days all my symptoms were GONE!"


"I'm on my 3rd month and I ONLY take this for regulating my period and the symptoms of it.

The first month, my breasts hurt terribly. I had to give up running for a while because I could not handle it. That's been the only major side effect I've had beside I get more breaks out. (And they were hardly noticable) My periods are lighter, cramps are lighter. I use to cramp 4 days before and then during half the period duration, I just cramp maybe the first 1 or 2 days of period now.

Weight has only decreased, no increased appetite. Im very happy with it so far! %u263A"


"I took morning after pill 12 hours after unprotected sex. I felt so tired and sleepy and nauseous, my stomach hurts too. My period is due 21 of March 2017. My body had these weird chilling sensation so I won't take the morning after pill again. I rate like this because I don't know if it will work or not. I will update later as the days progress and hope I get my period"


"Works within 5-10 minutes of taking one 200 mg pill. It lasts for up to 6 hours."


"Meh, I like it for the sheer convenience factor. In 1 year, I've gained 60lbs with and w/o dieting. I, in my late 30s, have reentered puberty (maybe menopause) with the new found acne and mood swings. Cramps are here and there, severe as they may be, they're not the worst side effect. I'm very arthritic now, some joints are crippling to try and use. Hot flashes suck, although I saved a fortune on heating this winter. Acid reflux was increased. My hair is super brittle and dry now.
Now for the plus side. I DO NOT bleed anymore :) I may decide to suffer through on that alone. It has helped my depression and anxiety, so much that I have been able to almost wean off the antidepressants.
I love the shelf life of five years too."


"For the first six months it worked great but now it doesn't relieve my headaches at all. In fact the only thing it does is gives me insomnia."


"I was given samples of this after taking Triazolam for a while. I took it one night, it took forever to fall asleep, I slept for about 6 hours and had the most disturbing dream that kept waking me up and continuing when I fell back asleep. I'm not sure I want to try it again, and I don't reccomend."


"I've been taking 50 mg of Zoloft for OCD now for 9 days. I stayed off medicine and dealt with the OCD for a long time until I could not take it anymore. Since I have been on it I've been improving everyday although I still do the same routines I seem to have let some go, and the constant worrying all day to the point where you are making yourself sick has improved so much. I'm finally able to joke with my friends and not have worry about something so irrational. So far I'm very happy I started taking the Zoloft, the side effects that I get are sometimes randomly during the day I can't stop yawning along with being very tired but I heard the sleepiness goes away after a few weeks. I've had a few headaches, dry bloodshot eyes when I wake up."


"This medicine is AMAZING. I woke up with the tingling feeling Wednesday morning by the afternoon it started taking its course. I picked up Denavir from the pharmacy that afternoon and started applying every two hours like it recommends. It has kept the cold sore at an absolute minimum. It hasn't even developed fully and I think it's already on its way out. 3 days! AMAZING! Its super expensive if you don't have insurance but if you do get this."


"For me, it was not quite as good as Restoril and Dalmane, but it is right up there."


"I have been in so much pain and discomfort.  I have a problem of serious dry mouth and perhaps Sjogren's.  My tongue was always sore and burning and my gums hurt.  My dentist gave me this to try and it has been the greatest thing.  It didn't give me an unpleasant taste or anything.  Just less pain and fresh mouth."


"It does lower the blood pressure, sometimes too much. But beware of the side effects - after being on the medication for almost two years I developed fast heart beat, chest pains, shortness of breath, depression, dizziness not upon standing up but simply while working at my desk, stomach pains, bad heartburn. The dry cough was pretty annoying, too. Been off of it for 5 days and most of the side effects are gone."


"My 65 yo husband started the 1/2 pill regiment 5 weeks ago. Big improvement in conversations, no longer accusing people of stealing from him. Than we had to wait 5 days for the prescription to be refilled. That was a decline, back to talking to imaginary people, aggressive behavior, no energy. Now he is on the whole pill. Wow, almost back to being pleasant. He takes his in the morning, so no sleep interrupted. Energy back, never had a side affect as far as loss of appetite, weight loss, diarrhea. Early stage of ALZ/ Dementia. Glad he is doing better, still a day to day."


"When a person has mental symptoms , they're supposed to have medical workup always. The reason is many medical conditions mimic mental illness until treated. Then zero symptoms forever (mentally). If a person has Myxedema (severe hypothyroidism), gets misdiagnosed as mentally ill (schizophrenia, bipolar, delusional d/o, depression, anxiety ...all common MISDIAGNOSES in thyroid disease), Klonopin can induce coma. This happened to me and then they realized I was not mentally ill. Had no symptoms since healing from this dreadfully dangerous drug. Read "Physical Illness presenting as Psychiatric Disease" before taking any psych drug. Any sedative, hypnotic, even Advil can cause MyxedemaComa 40%chance death. See Iatrogenic Coma & other articles."


"This birth control has been placed in my arm for about 2 months and I have on and off bleeding. I also gained lower back pain. And worst of all I am depressed now and always always hungry. I feel pregnant. And I'm not. Its a horrible birth control. I gained 20 lbs. In just about a month and a half"


"I honestly can't even tell if its doing anything at all..."


"Since childhood, I slept very little.  Suffered for more than 40 years.  Have been on trazadone for insomnia and depression for 20 years.  What a lifesaver!  For years I was on 150mg, but felt sleepy during the day.  I cut back to 50 mg. but was only able to sleep 5 to 6 hours.  Last night I took 100 mg. and slept for a solid 8 hours and feel great!  Guess I will stay on 100 mg.  Can't imagine life without it!  Highly recommend."


"Epiduo literally changed my life. had acne since I was 13 yrs old. Started using epiduo when I was 28. Now I'm 29. It cleared up my face amazingly! NO more scars, NO pimples, & it helps keep me lookin younger b/c it is a retinoid. I must say tho, that the first 2 months of using it, I broke out really bad. Dry skin, peeling, burning skin whenever I was sweating, &lots of pimples! But, the dermatologist had forewarned me that it was my face purging all the pimples &bacteria that was lying beneath the surface of my face's exterior surface level. So after sticking with it for those grueling 2 months I saw my scars fading, blackheads & cystic pimples slowly disappearing &my face is more clearer & smoother. Dont even need 2 use makeup anymore!"


"I have fibromyalgia, have fractured my back and had fusion surgery in the cervical area of my back. I had taken soma for close to 35 years as it was the only muscle relaxant that worked and I could tolerate. I moved from La. to Tx 4 years ago and had to start using a new pain management dr.  I have no problem with the dr. However in Tx no dr will prescribe soma. Now I have daily muscle spasms increasing the overall amount of pain I have.  I have developed severe tailbone pain which  makes it very difficult to work. It upsets that I had to go from controlled symptoms to totally uncontrolled. I take pain meds but that does not help when you have muscle spasms as I do.only dulls the pain. So my quality of life is horrible and it is not right �"


"Was given Levaquin for lingering lung bronchial condition. After 7 days. I was feeling 10x worse.  At first I thought I had the flu.  Headache fever achy all over no energy just weak. Then my shoulder joints started hurting so bad I could cry.  On a pain score 1-10 I was at a 15 and I've had 4 kids and rods in my back.  I contacted the Dr who told me to stop taking this Medication. That iris known for pain in joints.  Well I'm 2 weeks out. Still in pain all the way down both arms.  Sleeping on a heating pad and taking pain medication. My original complaint seems minor compared to this.  Dr says 4-6 weeks to get it out of your system.  I am Miserable. Can't lift my arms.  "


"WOW is all I can say I started the phentermine 37.5 on 03-07-2014 my weight was 217lbs and I weighed myself today (03-13-2014) and my weight is 197lbs. I have lost a total of 20lbs. This has changed my life, I have always struggled with my weight since 2008. I have never been under 200lbs and now I see the scale it makes me want to cry THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH Phentermine. My goal is 150lbs for the summer."


"I'm in the early phase of using this medicine. If you don't have insurance coverage it's extremely expensive (about $2,100.00 month) for two injections! I was skeptical at first but I am now on my 5th injection and can honestly say I have almost NO pain in my joints. I noticed improvement after the 4th or 5th week (2nd injection). It hasn't improved my energy level, mouth ulcers or vision issues but the joint pain relief is awesome! I can finally open a jar, turn on a faucet and comb my hair without any pain. I am still taking Plaquenil, Colcrys and Prednisone but no pain medicines!"


"I am a 21 year old female. I have been on Sprintec since I was 19. I started it to control my heavy periods. I have not been sexually active whilst using this pill.

It has dramatically reduced my cystic acne (about 90%), and my weight has been stable whilst on this pill(II am 5 foot 9 and 160lbs, my weight has fluctuated a few pounds up and down during the past two years, but that's my normal weight, and I am at a healthy BMI, though I could stand to lose 10 or 15 lbs). I have not experienced any mood swings. My mood has been extremely stable. I used to get very depressed after ovulating, and it would go away while on my period. I believe I have PMDD, but this pill has kept it under control."


"I started this birth control after giving birth to my son. I've had great experiences on it. Since I've started taking it I've lost a total of 42lbs, my appetite seems to have decreased. My periods are short and not horrible like I used to have while taking ortho tricyclen."


"I was prescribed this 6 months ago by an ER doctor after my first ever tonic clonic seizure.  I'd been taking it for about 6 weeks before I could get an appointment with a neuro Dr.  I was working, had no problems at all with it - actually was helping me sleep better and I didn't have any other seizures.  The Dr took me off them & said it wasn't the right medicine.  I tried 2 medicines by his suggestions and changed Dr's after bad reactions.  The new doctor had me on 3 others that also gave me bad reactions - GUESS WHAT - now I'm back on them and I'm feeling like myself again & I'm not having any trouble at all.  I just wish they would've listened to me to begin with."


"I just started Zyrtec 10 mg one week ago for allergies. I have been plagued by intense palm itching with various other areas, arms, ankles, legs which develops into hives. I am happy to say...GONE NOW! Thank goodness! It was maddening and my doctor never got excited about it! So happy now!"


"My PCP suggested I take this to help with severe congestion. I took 3 doses of the 12 hours (max strength) at the prescribed intervals. Basically one that afternoon, then one the next morning and one that evening. That night I COULD NOT SLEEP.  I have never had problems sleeping, and usually could find some way to read for a bit or do a relaxation exercise in the event it took longer than normal.

I'm normally asleep by 10 or 11. It's now 4 am, I am not one bit sleepy and I have to get up for work in 2 hours. Should be an interesting day."


"So far so good, I recently started Vyvanse and it has been wonderful I am really seeing a difference. The only side effect I have experienced is dry mouth and I did not drink enough water anyway so I have had a very positive experience."


"I have been on Citalopram for just over two months now, I have noticed a HUGE difference. I went from being depressed and wishing my whole existence away every night to "going to bed with a smile on my face" basically. I spend a lot more time with my family, I get out a lot more, and I am much more motivated. I have not noticed a change in anxiety though..."


"I am 57 and had been having migraines (severe enough to cause vomiting) for about 10 years without knowing what they were.  Was diagnosed a few months ago and given Sumatriptan.  It has changed my life.  No side effects at all.  I take 1/2 to 1 pill when early signs appear, and some naproxen.  Within 1/2 hour or so I am fine and life goes on."


"I have a lot of back pain due to two injuries. Out of everything I've taken I really like this. There is only 2 complaints: first it's expensive and second I have trouble sleeping when I take it. It wakes me up so taking it at night is not a good idea for me."


"I took Qsymia for about 6 months.  The side effects I had were dry mouth, tingling toes while seated, and hated the taste of soda.  I changed my diet and exercised loosing about 35 pounds.  Qsymia stopped all of my cravings and cut my appetite. I loved it then after about 5 months I noticed it stopped working. My body adjusted to the medication and the side affects stopped after a couple months, but my cravings and hunger returned completely by 6 months.  My dr has changed my medicine to Contrave which I will start today. I still have about 20 pounds to go."


"I am on my 2nd shot of Lupron and I am not liking the new me. Everyone says after the first 6 weeks it gets better. I don't know if I can take anymore or if anyone else can take my mood swings. I am very hormonal, frustrated all the time and mad about everything. My job and family are suffering. The hot flashes are constant I am miserable. I don't think I will continue with the other shots."


"This has been helpful, thank goodness.  Previously used Celebrex or meloxicam, which was once a day.  Though this new medicine is prescribed two times day, I have found I can often pass on the second dose.  Got a copay card from doctor, so no cost."


"I have type 2 diabetes and I have had 2 emergency discectomy's. I was having major erectile dysfunction issues. Long story short, went to doc. He gave me 'truth Serum" injection (my word for EDEX), because he had to measure both flaccid( no problem there) and erect, hence the "serum".  Told me to go into waiting room. Not fully knowing what was about to happen, it felt like the incredible hulk had managed to get into my shorts. It was amazing. Not only was I alive, ALIVE!! I honestly felt 18 again ( 48 currently)."


"Fractured my 61 year old hip in January 2017. I have been using Fentanyl patches for 2 years, 100mcg and Percocet for breakthrough. These are meds for some painful back, neck and nerve conditions. Also get accupuncture treatments.
I knew about demeral after breaking multiple bones in a car accident in 1982. In the hospital the nurse came regularly with an injection. Upon release I received long and short acting meds one being demeral.
Since that time I've required pain medication, the most recent the fractured hip which required surgery. The hospital gave me a demeral injection only one time, after surgery to get me to my room. It's the only 40 mins I wasn't in strong pain.  It's beyond my understanding why demeral is withheld."


"It is the only medicine that I can take to assist with the fighting of DVT for me. Don't care for sticking myself everyday, although it is keeping me alive. I have tried Coumadin and Praxada, but with both became severely ill, so the only choice was Lovenox. Am looking for the option of going back to a pill or some other treatment one day, instead of injections.  "


"Diclegis is by far the best medicine for morning sickness..i suffered with all my pregnanciess (Hyperemesis Gravidarum) - ...which is severe morning sickness...with  this pregnancy i was prescribe Diclegis. Which work wonders...not even drowsy! No nausea or vomiting I love this medicine it is a life saver and works great n completely safe..glad FDA put it back on the market"


"It did not relieve my migraine and I actually felt worse after taking it. I cannot seem to find anything that does help though."


"I have tarsal coalition and if I am on my feet for too long I can hardly walk from the pain in my ankle. I have suffered from this since I was about 8 years old. I am 52 now and my Dr prescribed this medication for the arthritis in my hands, it didn't seem to help my hands a lot but I tried it on my ankle one night and literally within 5 minutes the pain was gone. It is amazing and I love this stuff."


"Zoloft treated my symptoms very well. The only problem was my inability to ejaculate. Need less to say, I had to discontinue this medication due to this side effect."


"I've been in tremors pain for 2 years. My left foot felt like a million needles. I couldnt walk.  Until I started taking gapentin.  This is a miracle.   Thank god  my life is normal again."


"I have a doctor who is not into breakthrough medicines that much but he is still reluctantly writing Norco 10/325 for my breakthrough pain and I found that this medicine does pretty good for about 40 hours. The 72 hours they claim is a real stretch. "


"I was diagnosed with asthma & allergies 15 yrs ago. I am now 65. In the beginning b4 Zolair injections, my asthma would act up & I would cough 4 weeks until I had such a sore throat, broken blood vessels around my eyes & was just miserable.

Around 7 yrs ago, my Dr recommended I start Zolair injections every 2 wks. What a difference, like nite & day. I don't have any side effects either. I seldom have asthma flare ups & very little allergy problems. I still use an inhaler morn & nite & carry a rescue inhaler w me, which I seldom use.

What a life saver Zolair injections has bn. I have my life back."


"Helped a great deal when I first took this for about two years, five years ago, for spondylitis, and now I've been taking it for 5 months and it's doing much less."


"I just recently had Skyla inserted today. I'm not going to lie.. The insertion did hurt! However, the pain didn't even last 30 seconds. It wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. Afterwards, I've only had minor cramping that would be the same as it is on my period. I took 1,000mg of ibuprofen about an hour before my visit. My doctor also said there is absolutely no reason to use condoms anymore besides protecting against STD's because skyla is so effective on its own! Hope this helps anyone who is wondering whether or not skyla is right for them..!"


"I found my appetite is decreased, no skin problems, no lack of sexual desire, no babies :) haha, it's great for me!"


"I gained 40 pounds on Depo Provera shot."


"I got skyla on January 5, 2016 & I was so happy I didn't have to worry about pregnancy again. The procedure only took my doctor a minute but the downfall is I've been bleeding every since & that sucks when you wanna have intercourse. But I recommend this birth control highly."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency

"I was suffering from acne from more than 15 years until 2 weeks back when I started taking zinc sulfate. It's pretty helpful in removing extra oil from my super oily skin and drying up angry pimples."


"I'm 17 now. Been taking the medicine for maybe 3-4 years now. Honestly, it's fantastic in what it does. Better concentration, less impulsive, able to actually sit down and work, more control over my mood/emotions and its worth repeating Less Impulsive. But please know that because of this I also weigh 129lbs. I'm 6 feet tall. This completly kills my appetite. I've gone full 24 days without any real meal and hate it. I hate feeling my stomach in pain and feeling weak because I have nothing to fuel me but still my mouth stays dry and eating food becomes so non-instinctive that I have to force myself to go through the motions of chewing and swallowing. When off it, appetite is fine. Great medicine, please be aware of the effects possible."


"I had this when I was in the hospital (9 times in 2 years).  It is the best medicine I have ever used.  I hate the feeling pain medicines give you.  This one just made me sleepy and pain free. Too bad they wouldn't let me take it at home.  I am now on the fentanyl patch instead."


"All was fine first week, a little nausea. Second week was fine as well but a little redness/itching around injection site. Third week injection site immediately started to turn into a giant hive across my entire abdomen and I broke out in hives in all other areas of my body.  Went to ER and was taken off medication, but it took over a week for the serious reaction to stop.  Developed 1 inch knots at all injection sites which lasted for a couple months. I've been off the meds for several months and still break out in hives around my waist and on my bra line. Prior to the first hive outbreak, I had never had allergic reactions to anything."


"I have suffered from bipolar disorder for more than ten years but only recently sought help for it because it was getting way out of hand. I was put on a few different medications in the beginning, including Wellbutrin and Risperidone. Those eventually made things worse so I opted out of that treatment, and was prescribed Lamictal.

It took about a month to fully kick in, but I have noticed a huge difference in my mental state. I have not had a major depressive episode since starting treatment. I have not gone manic yet. For the first time in many years, I feel normal; I get happy when good things happen and sad when bad things happen. My feelings are not influenced by my illness anymore (at least not yet). Thanks, Lamictal!"


"My experience with Nuvaring has been a positive one. There have been a few drawbacks, but the positives greatly outweigh the negatives. I switched to the ring from Yasmin because I was tired of taking a pill everyday. I wanted something that was monthly, but not ready to commit to an IUD or Implanon, which I'm now considering switching too. My first month with the ring was horrible. It kept falling out. The second month got much better and it's a lot more comfortable. Sometimes I'll get a little pinch down there and know I need to adjust it. The downsides I've experienced are: mild discomfort, vaginal irritation and low sex drive. It's worth a shot if you're tired of the pill."


"My boyfriend has been smoking for about 16 years (2 packs/day). He started taking Chantix 6 days ago and I'm already seeing a difference as is he!
I noticed the "need" for him to get a fix is lessening. Before, if he didn't get a fix no one with him could be happy. All around now, he just seems happier and not so sickly. He actually SMILED in the morning before work in the early morning which never has happened before. His skin is starting to improve, he claims he's getting more sleep and his breathing/coughing fits have lessened slightly. Also, he's eating noticeably more which is great because he's very underweight at this point. I'm truly watching a miracle unfold in front of me. Today he noticed cigarettes are starting to taste bad."


"I've been taking this pill for 5 months now and LOVE it! periods are two days, if that, no acne, no weight gain(actually lost 15 pounds in the first 2 months), no labido changes. I had severe migraines when prescribed this medication of up to 3 a week. since i've started taking it, I've had one a month."


"I started Contrave July 29th 2015 at 6' 275 pounds.  As of today 3/9/16 I am now 195 pounds.  This medication truly works.  I no longer crave food.  I have a lot smaller appetite.  I am not saying that this pill does it all.  I changed my diet, I logged all of my food in myfitness pal app and I became more active. I stick to 1300 calories a day.  Just recently I have allowed myself to have treats. I have 5 pounds to go to my goal.  But, I am very happy to have gone from an 18 to a size 8.  I could not be happier with the results."


"I have an almost non existent period that lasts for 2 days but randomly my period will start when I'm on the 3rd week of pills then it goes to normal again. They put me on Sprintec to help my moods. Helped a tiny bit. Been on it for 3  years now."


"I love love this medication! After suffering from IBS for years, I am now normally everyday going to the bathroom the first couple weeks was a lot of diarhea and not going far from the bathroom, but after my body got used to it, I was fine. I would recommend this highly to anyone suffering from ibs-c"


"Had a yeast infect a couple years back and use the 7 day treatment it worked . Had another one during pregnancy and got a 1 day pill and it worked . I have another one after birth and decided to use the 1 day treatment because I didn’t want to insert the thing in me over and over again , Day 3 going on and my symptoms have been gone ... loving this product so far . I recommend using a liner to catch the medication as it comes out ... didn’t irritate me like I thought so because the other one didn’t"


"I got my arm implant in June 2015 and it was awesome bc it did its job well. I had heavy bleeding for 2 weeks after, terrible headaches and mood swings and i noticed some weight was packing in. Around October 2015 I stopped having my period altogether, it was wonderful but I had gained 15 pounds. The amount of weight gain (25 pounds in total) made me choose to get it removed asap."


"I have been on the Nuvaring for about 2 weeks now. I am going to use the 4 month supply received from my doc just to see how it rides out. So far I feel my mood swings have actually balanced out. I felt mood swings before and I was on no birth control. I have also seen a complete drop in my sex-drive. My vagina feels dry and raw, so having sex hurts (even more reason for me to not want to do it). And from what it looks like from some other users, it might get worse for me. But who knows."


"I have had seizures since taking. One year I had 3. My trigger is alcohol and late nights. I was on 300mg pd, and I moved to Spain for 9 months, I decreased my meds to 200 as I was getting dizzy spells. The doctor there said because my lifestyle was more relaxed that it was my body's way of saying I didn't need as much. When I moved back and into my hectic recruitment job I didn't increase it back, ha a fit 2 months later! I had been seizure free for 18 months. But I'd had a drink and not enough sleep. went back up to 300mg (but lost my license again, worst thing ever!). Was nearly 20 months recently and I missed a dose the other morning as ran out and had 1 the next morning! Gutted. Also started the aloe gel stuff and think it had an effect?!"


"When I get sick, within 24 hrs, it goes into infection. This is the only shot that is strong enough to help the infection. My immune system cannot fight for me anymore and win, I only wish the shot had cured this infection. I had one on Thursday and after the injection at the dr office, within 8 hrs, all of the symptoms went away but came back 3 days later so I have to go back again today."


"This med has been extremely effective at keeping my anxiety down for close to 20 yrs.  5-10mg has been my ideal dosage, currently at 5mg.  I'm commenting here so as to share my thoughts on side effects.  For me, going on or off of this med, or changing dosage, results in feeling horrible for a period of time measured in days.  If you feel similarly, make sure you tell your doc and perhaps lean on a med (e.g. a benzo) if need be while you're transitioning.  But always try to remember (I know it's difficult!) that the bad feeling is temporary, and that you will feel better.   Give it time to work for you."


"Definitely works but I am very young to have this illness and the headaches and fatigue is killing me. Not sure if I want to try something new though. It helped about 90% "most" of the time, just wondering if there is anything to make me 100% again."


"I've started taking Effexor XR recently at the lowest dose 37.5mg and the first day you get very nauseous even if you do eat beforehand, I felt so foggy. After a few days the side effects subsided so I upped my dosage to 75mg and the same thing happened. So I'd recommend when starting this medication you also have an anti nausea medication with it otherwise you'll have a few crappy days. This medication has benefited me the most out of all the others I tried because it brought back my focus."


"I was on Synthroid only for 8 years after being diagnosed with Hypothyroidism . My dose was changed many times over that time frame by 4 different Endocrinologists but I still felt bad, weight gain, fogginess, depression, chronic fatigue you name it. 6 weeks ago I was put on 10 mcg of Cytomel by a new doc that I am seeing a 100 miles from my home town and I am happy to say for the first time in 8 years I have relief from my symptoms. I have lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks. I am happy not in a fog anymore and I have energy to enjoy life once again. The Cytomel made all the difference. "


"This medicine does not work for me, each time I take, it make me drowsy, but I could not sleep."


"Day4 on Harvoni no side effects. Already have more energy. I also take Harvoni at night about an hour after dinner. Can't wait for blood work. Thank you goodness for a new lease on life! DEATH TO HEP C!!!"


"I try to tell as many friends as possible about the wonders of Nuva ring! It changed my life. I've been on it for almost 6 years now and the only side effect I've ever had was bigger boobs! (When I go off it they shrink a bit) No pregnancies, I don't have to take it out during sex, and best of all, I don't have to remeber to take a pill! I rarely even get my period because I just leave it in for 4 wks and then put a new one in immediately (My doctor says this is perfectly fine- unless you're trying to concieve soon after you go off bc your cycle will take some time to go back to normal) Please do yourself a favor and try it!"


"Found this medication very effective in my withdrawals from both alcohol and weed. It stops my racing thoughts and keeps me calm. However it does somewhat make you zombie like and unable to feel emotions."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have been taking Eliquis for about 7 months due to AF. I resisted taking Eliquis forever and insisted that aspirin was doing the job. My cardiologist was nice but firm in mentioning that I have a history of strokes on the maternal side of my family. My AF got worse after 8 years of being on Flecanaide, bp and cholestrol meds so I had a cryoablation in June of 2016. So far I have not had any bad side effects but I do have some dizziness and occasional flushing. I also have a tendency to get rashes. Has anyone had this happen? So far I've been fine and no AF so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it all works."


"Diagnosed with Chiari Type 1 and Pseudotumor Cerebri in 2008. Started diamox and it changed my life. Within days I was feeling so much relief. Over time, my dose went up and the next move was an LP shunt which has worked wonders for almost 8 years. It's starting to fail now so my revision is scheduled and I'm back on diamox in the meantime. Yet again, symptoms under control with it. Yes I have weird tingling in my face hands and legs, and I can't drink carbonated beverages, oh well - I'm thankful to be functioning and not nauseous and dizzy and disoriented all day long. Diamox is the best thing other than my shunt for this disease. Very thankful for it."


"I started on Rexulti four months ago. I take 1.0mg Rexulti along with 160mg of Duloxetine. My first reaction was tremendous energy and a much better mood. The crying episodes have stopped completely.The energy level soon returned to normal and now I am feeling very tired and fatigued. I generally fall asleep right away but awake at 3:00am just like clock work. I stay in bed until 6:00am.

Weight gain has not been a problem although I admit to feeling hungry all the time. The benefits of this drug far out way the negative symptoms. I also suffer from anxiety disorder and Rexulti has helped with that as well. The cost of this drug is very high. Hopefully as time goes on it will come down. My doctor provides me with samples for now."


"Caused me painful nausea and then vomiting about 30 minutes after taking it.  Had to use a suppository promethazine to relieve nausea.  Took it again about 5 years later for another flu - same thing happened.  Just made me feel worse, but it worked for the rest of my family."


"I have been taking Ambien CR for about 6 months now. I have had no side affects. I have not gotten up and got on the computer or driven to any place that I was not aware I was going. It helps me not to have nightmares. If you need something to help you sleep then take it. "


"I had my nexplanon insertion may 2014 so about a year now. It does its job! And I love it. It didn't clear up my acne the way bc pills did. But since I kept forgetting to take the pills I switched to the implant. The only thing I hate about it was messing up my periods. Some months I would have it twice and other months it would be regular."


"I highly recommend over many of the other medicines that are supposed to do the same thing. Does not cause weight gain either."

"I have taken Klonopin along with Tramadol for about 13 years for Fibromyalgia. I take 1mg at night only and it helps sleep, muscle tension, anxiety from living in pain, and cuts down on the number of migraines I get. It can be a wonderful medicine for the right conditions. I know how much it helps me as whenever I've tried to go off of it or even cut it in half I feel much worse for weeks. I always end up going back to the 1 mg. it is worth it for me to take for the rest of my life as long as it is prescribed. My rheumatologist just keeps me on it and I pray if I ever move out of state which I know I will when my husband retires I can find another doc who has no problems with me staying on it. It's not fun to go off this med!"


"Midol Extended Relief is the best pain reliever for my period.  I used to take 800mg Ibuprofen because I get terrible cramping, now I prefer the Midol.  I don't have to take it as often and since it is Midol it relieves more than just the cramps.  Every woman in my office uses it for cramps."


"This pill is amazing. I was prescribed it for PCOS and as a birth control. After having a terrible experience with the nuva ring, I was nervous to try any other form of birth control. While the first 3 months were rough in terms of moodiness and mild acne, it's all seemed to have leveled out and I couldn't be happier. No decrease in libido (probably has increased, actually), no weight gain (I've actually lost 15 lbs since I started, but I've been dieting too), increased breast size ~1/2 cup), regular periods with significantly decreased flow and decreased cramping. Hardly any acne ever now and my pms seems ton better. Everyone is different, but this pill seems like magic to me!"


"I've been on metoprolol 100mg once a day a year ago never had side effects now since my BP has been ok around 120/83-130/95 it's been lowered to 25mg an I've been having side effects such as low heart rate sometimes as low as 52 bpm really concerned about it other than that metroprolol has worked for me is this normal?"


"I've been experiencing tinnitus since a severe ear infection and infection of my mastoid cell located behind my ear on my skull which resulted in extreme fullness and hearing loss. After getting my ear suctioned because antibiotics weren't helping and a tube put in I got my hearing back in my left ear but was left with bothersome tinnitus. To the point it was driving me crazy!!! That's been 7 years now. My family Dr recently prescribed xanex for my anxiety and panic attacks. I take .5 twice a day and I couldn't believe it all but eliminated 90% of the high pitch in my ear! I still can't believe it and plan bringing it up at my next appointment. I started researching and so happy I'm not alone with this experience. I can wait to tell my Dr!"


"I've been using Gianvi for 7 months now and my skin is clear and I didn't have acne before but the usual breakouts here and there. I do get extremely irritable the last week of pills but  I guess that's expected. Other than that no complains besides the usual headaches like twice a month."


"The drug worked great however I could not use it for long as I was swelling very bad."


"I loved smoking and didn't have plans to actually quit. However a friend wanted to quit and I agreed to join in her goal to help her with the understanding I would smoke again. She used the gum, patches etc. I chose Chantix and ten years later she is smoking and I'm a non smoker still. Amazing! It took 1 1/2 months that's it."


"I loved Depo! Was on it all together over 10 years with a break between 2009 and 2012 when we decided to have kids and now (since Sept 2016). Super convenient, effective, and it made my period completely stop. The only complaint I have was one that didn't show up until last couple of years (for which I ultimately stopped taking it): zero sex drive. I mean bad...to the point I almost got a divorce! In the past I've always had desire but it wasn't until the last 2-3 years where there's was nothing, no desire for my husband, , sex scenes in movies got no reaction...nothing!!! That is my only complaint but it was after many many years.

Still, I would recommend Depo 100%"


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I was on Loestrin FE for 5 years and I was also diagnosed with bi-polar disorder while I was in high school. Loestrin worked for a little bit but I gained 20 pounds quick. I still had sexual desire mentally but my body wouldn't react and I was always too tired or to moody or to emotional. And since I've been on it for a while the side effects seemed like they hit me a second time and it was like my period was playing peek-a-boo with me. But 3 months ago I switched to Beyaz and I've never been more happy and more...well....attacking my fiance. I give Beyaz a 10 and highly recommend it! And I'm 20."


"I'm ADHD and for as long as I can remember I have had problems with insomnia. I have taken ambien off and on for years ad well as other OTC sleep meds and lunesta. My psych gave me some sample packs of Belsomra to try..... not sure what the heck its made of. Took maybe 30ish minutes before I started to feel tired. Went to bed and fell asleep in about 40 minutes. What was weird is I had several periods of being "asleep" but my mind was completly awake and it was really hard to move.... I dunno. Other than that I slept well and I slept in by two hours however, all day today I have felt drugged and sedated, foggy. I took the 20mg so maybe I should try a lower dose if I try it again."

"My experience with Ultram is fantastic. I severely injured myself in a cycling in France while training for the Ironman Competition. I broke both wrist, elbows, back and crushed 3 vert in my neck. I have taken all the hardcore medicines which only took a pain level of 10 down to a 7, but the side effects were terrible. If I ran out early. I would get dope sick, but there was nothing to alleviate the pain level. My PCP advised me to try Ultram, and have been using it since January, it works great."


"Saved my life. Was put on this in the hospital and my depression was out of the suicidal level in three days. About 5 days on it now and have had some recurring moderate depression, however my pdoc says it should take full effect in 2-4 weeks."


"My 8 year old son was extremely hyperactive and had anger issues. Even though he was on Adderall. He was constantly biting his brother and sister, arguing with his dad and I, kicking, throwing tantrums and acting like a baby when he didn't get his way. After we added Intuniv to his daily dose of Adderall, he is a completely different child. It has been wonderful. There has been less yelling and arguing, less fighting, he actually gets along and plays with his brother and sister and us. I love this medicine! I only wish we found it sooner. Thank you for giving us our son back!"


"I have been on Nuvaring since January 2010 and love the convenience. Of course I experience many side effects, such as headache, cramps, breast tenderness, bloating, breakthrough bleeding (first month only) and feeling pregnant all the time. After 4 months it came out for the first time during sex. It hurt for a bit then I had light bleeding. I would recommend Nuvaring because of convenience and as with most birth control there are always going to be side effects."


"Positive. Have not had a recurrence since taking this medication over five years ago."


"Where do I start? I first started with Implanon at age 19 and once removed, had Nexplanon replacing it. I am now 24. 25lbs heavier, have had major depression and suicidal tendencies since the beginning. Body pain, stomach issues, dizziness to the extent of having vertigo, etc. I bled for 6months at the beginning of having Implanon, but once replaced with Nexplanon, my body was use to it so I simply continued to not have a period. I have had gross, brown "blood" discharge in place of periods and some weeks have to wear panty liners constantly. It looks pretty gross.
Anyways, I am getting this taken out in a few days and really hoping the depression lessens and I get my life back."


"My doctor has prescribed this medication for migraines. It works great if you take it at the onset of a migraine. If you have a full blown migraine, it may take several doses. All other migraine medications do not work on me. Stadol is the only pain reliever to help with the pain. Just make sure when you take it, you are some place you can lie down."


"It's unfortunate this pain reliever has been removed from over the counter use.  It was one of a very few that actually helped my pain from thrombic angiitis obliterans.  It also helped my brother and 2 sisters with migraines. In my view it is much like ibuprofen except slightly stronger and much more effective."


"I am taking it for anxiety, depression and obsessive compulsive disorder intrusive thoughts. This medicine worked really quick, between 40mg of this, 5mg of Abilify with therapy it helped a lot! However after a year it stopped working for me. So I was switched to something else. Good luck everyone it's a good medicine."
