"I have been using this medication for only 3 weeks now but have already started seeing good things from it.
1)  I haven't cried since taking this medication when normally it would be at least 4 times a week.
2)  I have literally stop worrying about what's going on at work
3)  I have not had a panic attack since taking it.
4)  I have had some tiredness/drowsiness but it keeps me calm and focused.

The only negative for me is the constipation sort of. Just not as regular as I have been but who cares with everything else it has given me."


"LOVE IT!  I have never had a side effect and look forward to bed which I no longer dread!  I cut 5 mg, in half and if wake-up and can't get back to sleep take other half.  Highly recommend,"


"My personal experience with Qsymia was not favorable.  However other people have shared their experience with me and didn't experience the same side effects.  The blurred vision was enough to seriously scare me away from this drug... After about an hour after taking Qysmia it was extremely difficult for me to drive, due to blurred vision, I couldn't make out anything on my computer monitor at work after a couple of hours and started having migraines. It may be effective but I didn't think the side effects were too harsh on my body."


"2nd time detoxing. After using heroin roughly 3 months I was approaching a .5 - .7 a day habit.   I started on subs again.  This time total sub time 8 months.  Started at 8 dropped to 6 within a month.  Stayed at 6 for a 3-4 months while working. dropped to 4mg for about 30-45 days.  From here I did a rapid taper. Once at 2mg I stayed at 2 for about 3 weeks dropped to 1mg for about 1 week (started feeling sluggish and major lack of energy but no sickness.)  From there 1 week at .5 mg no energy no sickness still.  Finally 1 week at .25 of a film basically a speck still no energy but still no sickness.  From the jump off: days 1and 2 absolutely no energy but NO sickness and ate food. Day 3 75% normal. Take motion sickness pills &valarin root"


"Started to work immediately to improve urine flow and frequency. However the side effect of retrograde ejaculation became extremely bothersome. I did stop taking it for a few weeks and the side effect was completely reversed, however the urine flow issue was too much of a problem, so I restarted taking the Rapaflo again. Same issues which I tolerated for a while but finally decided to go back to the Urologist and he started me on a new medicine. "


"Seasonal allergies, very bad.  I have used this product now for second season, with some relief of itchy, red, swollen eyes.  Works ok, not a miracle though for my itchy eyes.  Since it can only be used twice a day, I supplement with other drop OTC that work almost as well.  The price, I really don't understand how any 5ml bottle can be $300.00.  What about the people who don't/can't afford health insurance?  I hope my review is published, although it isn't a 10 review, I am hoping the cost will drop for those people who cannot afford this eye drop RX."


"I am on 15 mg, today is only day 3 but I really don't have more energy at all and I definitely feel really hungry still. My side effect besides dry mouth is it feels like my heart is skipping beats or is in my throat kinda but only when I am up and doing things,"


"I have chronic migraines. I was prescribed this as a preventive. One of my migraine triggers is sleep. I cannot take naps in the day time nor oversleep in the morning or else I will get a migraine. This drug makes me drowsy as all hell, such that it actually causes MORE migraines. In addition to constantly being sleepy, I of course have little energy for exercise and lost productivity at work, and in the end I still end up needing a prescription strength painkiller to deal with the migraines. Useless drug."


"Little did I know, I am horribly allergic to Sulfa.  After two pills, I began experiencing horrible leg and arm cramps.  They were so bad, that I was unable to stand for longer than a couple of minutes.  These symptoms took about a week to fully disappear and this was from taking only 2 pills!"


"Crestor lowered my cholesterol but the muscle pain in my back was intolerable.  So I finally started taking CoQ10 and the back pain went away. But for the following two years I thought I had shin splints. It was the Crestor."


"I was on 100mg of Zoloft a day for 6 years and suddenly my depression symptoms were coming back quickly.  When I spoke to my Doctor, she suggested Cymbalta or Abilify as a supplement to the Zoloft, but as I am uninsured, they were way too expensive. She suggested we try Celexa and I weaned off of the Zoloft while slowly increasing the dosage of the Celexa to 20mg.  So far, so good.  I actually wish I had been taking it all along, because I have more energy, have actually lost some of the weight I gained on Zoloft, and the sexual side effects are not nearly as bad as the Zoloft.  Everyone is different, but I highly recommend it."


"I smoked for 38 years, half a pack a day. 2 days of Chantix my cigarettes tasted awful. I get no side affects, I'm sleeping so much better, I used to wake up in the middle of the night and think I had to get up and take a couple puffs to go back to sleep. Now when I wake up I fall right back to sleep. The best part is I don't even think about cigarettes, I'm on day 20. I'm just afraid once I stop the Chantix I might get cravings. I really feel blessed at this point for just being able to stop smoking, especially with no side affects. Oh and how can I forget, the Chantix was free through my insurance, also a blessing."


"I don't know what everyone is talking about. I guess I'm not a sensitive but I used the monistat 7 because I just couldn't control the itching and my vagina had swollen up I couldn't walk or sleep with that itchyness and discharge. I don't have insurance right now so I couldn't go get checked out so I went and bought the 7 day monistat. Thank god. So the first night I was itching so I put some on without showering and it started to itch a little bit more but it was bearable. Then I stayed like that till the next night I showered and put it on before bed again and the day after that I felt sooooo much better. I didn't even have to keep using it but I continued using it to be safe. No burning nothing crazy like some of these stories."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"First colonoscopy ever. This prep worked great. Yes a bit salty, but just gulp it down and chase it with the water. No cramping, nausea or headache. Started working in a bout 40 minutes. Stay close to the bathroom and get to the toilet at the hint of movement. Took about 4 hours to complete the first round. Did the second round the morning of my procedure, took it at 5 am for an 11:00 procedure. Second round was a breeze. Cleared out by 8:30am and doctor reported fully cleared.  This prep is worth the money and I will definitely use it again. Have no fear folks?"


"So far it's been a lot better than I expected. I have been dreading going on hormonal birth control, but after a failed experience with my Paragard IUD, I gave Beyaz a try. I haven't gained any weight at all- this was my biggest fear and I'm so happy it didn't come true. My stomach is flat and unbloated. My boobs have increased in size- they just feel nice and full but not sore! Sometimes I do feel a little blue, and my sex drive is definitely lower. My libido is at about 90% when I am with my boyfriend. My acne has gotten much worse, but they say this happens at first and then clear skin follows. Period has been light and no cramps!"


"I am 21 years old and my son is now five months old. I started taking Jolivette at the beginning of February. I have experienced abnormal, heavy bleeding that seems like it never ends, feels like I've bled more than I haven't bled. The bleeding will stop for two to three days then return and last for about two weeks. I have also been feeling more angry and stressed than ever since I started taking this birth control. I am switching to a different birth control as soon as possible because Jolivette is making life miserable, and the way I am running through boxes of tampons and pads is ridiculous and draining the wallet."


"I am 30 years old, and I have epilepsy.  I just came off of Tegretol and only on gabepentin after asking my neurologist if I could please.  At single doses of 600mg 3 times a day, I feel like my anxiety goes away, but my head can feel groggy.  I actually have panic attacks, anxiety attacks, depression as a result of epilepsy.  I do like Gabapentin if it prevents seizures.  Last night I felt nuts, and racing thoughts.  Maybe I need to up my doses to 1200mg at night instead of 600mg.  I do sleep very well once I do crash.  It can make me a calmer and hungry.  I couldn't survive, literally, without it. I know I would have seizures and panic attacks.  Side effects...very few compared to Tegretol."


"Travelled to the US to visit my significant other, but hadn't gone to the bathroom for a whole WEEK. My s/o's mother explained that travelling can cause constipation, but I was desperate for a BM nearing 8 days and no BM, and was looking up all sorts of routes to try and take. I bought suppositories, other laxatives to try, but Milk of Magnisa worked in exactly 12 hours, 60ml. Took it before bed, woke up exactly 12 hours later and I'm still glued to the toilet seat --- I'd pick the runs over being constipated any day."


"I started having anxiety attacks a few months ago due to marijuana use. Bad life choice I regret but due to my natural anxiety marijuana made it 10x worse. I started having anxiety attacks sometimes up to 6x a day for a few weeks. I had a visit to my doctor scheduled anyway and was honest and told him about my situation. He prescribed me xanax to use as a short term medication for my anxiety attacks as he said weed can cause horrible anxiety for a month in some ppl. I took it as prescribed which was every six hours as needed. I started with about .25mg a day but took .5 a few times when it was real bad. 2 weeks later I began splitting the pills in half to .12. Am completely off it now but made a huge difference in my life for that time."


Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold Formula Sparkling Original Effervescent Tablets

"I love taking this before bedtime, or when I have time to rest as it does make me drowsy. It tends to work faster than others and when sinuses are bad, it is a major plus. Only downside is it makes me drowsy so cannot take it when working (although half works well enough to keep symptoms tolerable until I can take a whole one)."


"Breathing great, diarrhea not so great. Not worth it."


"Savella gives an energy boost. My Pain Doctor has me on Cymbalta and Savella. I did question the Doctor about Serotonin Syndrome but She wasn't concerned. Several years ago, I stopped taking Cymbalta and the Brain Zaps lasted nine months. Then my depression returned and ended back on the Cymbalta. I don't think they mix well for me as I am extremely agitated and hostile and still depressed. I will be talking to my doctor about how to wean off Cymbalta and perhaps finding a different antidepressant.  Savella has helped with my pain but I do have a rapid heart beat and panic attacks. Plus, I suffer restless leg Syndrome and it is so painful. Can win for losing."


"I'm a 21 year old female and I recently stopped using Nuvaring.  I must say that I have been feeling so much better since I've been off.  While on Nuvaring, I experienced many negative side effects.  I was EXTREMELY moody every month for 2 weeks out of the month(more so than usual PMS). My body also felt very tired and I had little energy.  I gained about 20 lbs while on it for 6 months.   My libido was very low, putting quite a strain on my relationship with my boyfriend.

Since being off of Nuvaring, I am back to my normal self.  I know that it will affect people differently, but I would suggest if you begin to feel any of these similar side effects on Nuvaring, stop using it. The side effects do not get better over time."


Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection

"I have osteomyelitis of temporal bone. In the hospital for 1 wk, sent home on IV Vancomycin & Cephrine. After 4 wks back to Hospital for chills & fever.  In for a wk, low blood & increased iron...all due to IV.  Sent home on Zyvox & Levaquin for 30 days, hoping infection has cleared (will find out after finish meds). Side effects: nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, cannot eat as nothing taste right, GERD, pressure in the sterum area, extremely tired, short of breath, yeast infection, insomnia, muscle & joint aches, emotional and today red spots on skin.  Needless to say I feel horrible! Hopefully this will all be over soon but don't feel I will ever be the same. If this works then it's an amazing, wonderful drug.  However, it's very expensive. Thank goodness for patient assistance!"


"I have been on Atenolol for migraine prevention for almost 3 years.  It has lessened the frequency of my headaches.  A friend told me about this for helping w/headaches and I'm glad she did."


"I started contrave and was also on week 3 about to start week 4 when my face started breaking out really bad! I went from having a perfectly clear skin, to having multiple pimples all over my face! The areas where I had the pimples would get red immediately. I also broke out in my chest area, and even got some on my thighs!! Finally in my 5th week I stopped taking contrave and they are slowly all going away, but my face isn't 100% clear yet.
I was also experiencing headaches, upset stomach and severe dry mouth! The worst part of all is that I paid $90 and wasn't able to lose not even a pound!!! I was starving all the time, and my cravings were still impossible!!! I see the commercial on TV and it's definitely false advertising!!!"


"After 6 months of severe panic attacks and anxiety, I was prescribed propranolol. Wow, what a huge turn around! I was very paranoid about taking ANY medication but I sucked it up and dealt with it. I'm so glad I did because my life has now changed because of it. My heart rate would beat out of control triggering panic and anxiety. I should mention that I am a strong believer in medication to only be a GUIDE into creating a healthy lifestyle both mentally and physically."


"Struggled with undiagnosed bipolar disorder for 8 years. Finally got on the right cocktail with Latuda included. I'm at 60mg and it has stopped my cycling (I'm a rapid cycler). No side effects, except for weight loss and difficulty gaining it back (which may be great for some of you, but I'm a former anorexic so not so great on that front). Did not change my intake of food ... but the med definitely decreased my appetite. Would HIGHLY recommend giving this med a go. And I've been on practically everything -- this is literally the only thing that has made my life live-able again."


"I have been on Gianvi for over a year now and I love it. I lost some weight, but with that my breasts also got a bit smaller. The headaches I was getting on my previous birth control are completely gone, and I get my period for 2 days and its extremely light, compared to my 2 week long extremely heavy period. On my previous birth control I gained some weight, my breasts got huge, and I got terrible headaches, but none of that with Gianvi. I know a lot of people have terrible side effects, but honestly I love Gianvi. (I was previously on Ortho Tri- Cyclen Lo)."


"I have been on Lutera over a yr now and it has been a great pill. I have had NO weight gain and in fact lost a few pants sizes. It has cleared my face of breakouts, except an occasional pimple or 2 around the time of my period. I was informed of a manufacturer change a couple months ago and have noticed some changes. I get stomach cramps a week before my period, been overly tired and been craving sweets when I normally don't like them. And one of my recent periods I stayed nauseous with no appetite and slept every chance I got. Not sure if this is due to being in the process of changing jobs, pms, or the new manufacturer. If it is the new manufacturer, will get my obgyn to switch me."


"Worked right away when nothing else would. Its a miracle cure for incurable cough!"


"With Tylenol and Neurontin every 8 hours plus daily Cymbalta it works for fibromyalgia. Remove the Ultram/Tramadol and it doesn't. Ultram alone didn't do the trick, but it is the needed pill for this to work. From number 5 pain to zero/1 on a 10 scale."


"I experienced itching around the opening of my vagina, a fishy/musty odor and clumpy discharge. I went to the doctor and he diagnosed me with. I'm on my second day of dosage with this medicine, and all of those symptoms are gone, but I'm going to finish out the 7 days to make sure it's gone for good. Now, I don't have to be ashamed anymore."


"About a year ago I was having constant headaches. I was always yelling and screaming at my wife about everything. I finally got it checked out. One doctor said that I was just depressed and wanted me to take depression pills. I sought a second opinion. It was discovered that I had a cyst in the temporal lobe of my brain. I was started on Topamax, which didn't really help. So my neurosurgeon switched me to Keppra. My attitude made an instant turn around from the third day I was taking it. My appetite is back and my wife and I enjoy each other again. The cyst is still there, but I can live with it if I have my medicines."


"Given to daughter at age 13.  Diagnosed with chronic Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura at age 13.5 years.  Side effects list bruising, bleeding tendency and red pin picks on skin.  Are the several side effects due to a temporary decrease in platelet function, much like aspirin or the trigger of a platelet antibody?"


"I had a very horrible toothache and this helped me to numb it, the pain was still there in the background and also I have insomnia so this helped me to sleep and be without excruciating pain - did make me feel a bit loopy of you don't go right to bed when you start to feel it"


"Love this pill. All birth control pills cause side effects but this one is the best for me. A nice plus was fuller breasts."


"I've been on this medication two times now.
Both times it's helped lower my blood pressure. I was able to come off of it for about 2 years when I got my blood pressure under control and was keeping it that way, but recently my blood pressure has went back up so my Dr put me back on this medication. My prescription is for the generic brand. I have used both the name brand and generic and I couldn't tell any difference..only price was different. I've had no side effects from this medication, it's worked very well. I would recommend it."


"very bad mood swings."


"I have had Implanon since the beginning of 2010. I have only had about 2 periods since then which is pretty cool. I have not had any noticeable side effects, except maybe some menstrual cramps that I didn't have before, and some itchiness where it is inserted. I was nervous about getting it since Depo made me violently ill, but now I would most definitely recommend it."


"Finally I see hope.

After being diagnosed with severe depression (took me 4 years to seek treatment), I tried 5 different medications (plus therapy). They all failed miserably and I lost the hope I didn't even know I had, then tried suicide twice. Finally I was prescribed Pristiq and let me just say... what a difference!
It got easier to wake up and get through the day, my self-esteem got better, my anxiety doesn't come as often, and I can even make plans for the future. For the first time I see change is possible.
Just don't ever forget to take your pills, you can't really function without them. I got no side effects except for increased hunger/libido, and a bit of difficulty falling asleep.
I'm taking 150mg now."


"I have suffered from insomnia for about 15 years. Thyroid cancer only made it worse. Ambien stopped working and I tried every drug and over the counter med. I was given a three day trial of Belsomra and was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. This is not a knock out drug. It just makes you feel sleepy all night. I did have vivid dreams but they weren't unpleasant. None of the craziness of some of the other sleep meds just a good nights sleep. The only down side was I have a mild headache when I first wake up but it goes away quickly. It is expensive but they offer some really good coupons on their website. I recommend getting a free sample from your doc before you buy a months supply. Sweet dreams."


"Fioricet works within 15-20 minutes and you feel better than you would normally …. happy, awake, no headache, nothing can really irritate you and literally puts a smile on your face.  Don’t eat them daily because they will start causing headaches and you will become tolerant and then they won’t work when you need them to."

"I've been on this birth control for about 2 weeks now (I know it's early) but I've had a horrible experience so far! I've had constant head aches, constant vaginal discharge (a lot at that), deep severe stomach pains, and my sex drive is not there. I have been very depressed and I cry all the time over nothing. Some nights my pain of nausea and headaches I've wanted to go get checked out. I'm acne prone so I break out anyways but I have noticed recently more acne starting to pop up. When this pack is done I'm definitely going to ask to switch because constant pain is not worth it"


"I created an account to soley rate this medicine. The medications that my general doctor were perscribing werent doing the trick, so I was sent to a psychiatrist who gave me viibryd. My insurance didn't cover much, I had to pay $80 for one month of dosage. At that point in my life I was so desprate and it felt like I running out of options, so I gave it a try. I was on Viibyd for about 6 months with absolutely no change. I was irritated all the time, my anixety flew off the charts. Doc told me to try to stick with it. Finally one day I quit cold turkey and felt no side effects, no withdrawls. It's good to see some positive reviews from others though!"


"The needle standing pain was bad, but then I developed this feeling like I dipped my lower legs and feet in frying oil. It all is getting worse. It has really been tough especially at night trying to sleep."


"Started 5 g tube once per day 6 weeks ago. 38 yo male.  Initial T was 234 and on retest 312 ng/dl.  Free T was mildly low as well.  Feeling great now.  Energy and libido are up.  Strength at gym is improving.  Morning wood is back!  Focus, concentration are improving.  I don't feel so cloudy and down.  Tested this week and T was 629!  I am very happy.  Testim is a bit sticky but rub it in well and put a bit of baby powder on shoulders.  Get tested if you have symptoms, and get your mojo back men."


"Had a traumatic experience in March, to do with a near death of my husband. I was at the time on Paxil and (as needed) Lorazaepam. To set up an appointment with a mental worker knowing the how the system works Paxil had to be changed and Sertratine was their drug of choice, 50 mg., after 4 weeks to the day, talked dr. to lower dose to 25mg. I believe that Sertraline is not the drug for me is causing other issues with my health . This is not what I want to be on, give back my Paxil and ( if needed) I will take a low dose of my Lorazepam."


"I am a semi-professional bodybuilder and MMA participant. My BMI is above 30 but that is likely due to excessive muscle mass. There are times when I need to shed 10 to 20 lbs to meet weight requirements of my class. I have found that with Belviq, I am able to cut the carbs without any cravings whatsoever. I am able to slim down with ease just prior to competing. I was truly surprised at the results. This is an amazing supplement to my current nutritional routine. I have not experienced any side effects so far and seem to tolerate the medication without any problems. I will be using this sparingly for weight loss. "


"I have irregular periods and can go months without them. I'd been suffering from a lengthy period starting the pills. At first they stopped it for the first few days of the first week. But then the bleeding only came right back and 10 times worse and I'm half way through the month and I can't take this. I wanna just stop taking this. But I don't know what to do. This made me way to emotional. My stomach feels like it's being stabbed. I don't truly ever get cramps but I want to cry   -3 weeks added onto this means my periods is over a month. I honestly just want to cry . I'm in so much pain."


"In a hour I felt speedy. I was up all night. Like I had a late cup of coffee. Three weeks later I tried it again. Speedy jittery all night no sleep."


"this birthcontrol was pretty good in the beginning. I felt like I had made such a good investment - no periods, no tampons, life was good! But then almost immediately I started breaking out big time in my face. And it got worse. I waited almost 3 months before I took it out, my face was covered in one million little spots, even though I am extremely healthy I never consume any sugar not even any types of dairy either. Only clean fresh food, and still my face was/is an acne mess! Besides the acne I felt depression, mood swings, massive hair loss and no desire for sex at all. All my side effects have disappeared now since I took it out 3 days ago, but I am still waiting for my pimples to go away. Would not recommed to a friend"


"I'm on my second IUD. Had the first one removed after 4 years and another put in. The first one didn't hurt at all when they placed it but the second one I had pretty bad cramping for about a half hour. I've not had any problems! I bled for a couple of months with the first one and have only had random spotting since (maybe every three months). I would highly recommend!"


"Great medication!  I am a hygienist and have been looking for a treatment for cold sores for my patients.  I learned about Valtrex in school, but had not had a chance to try until I got an outbreak recently.  I had my doctor prescribe me 2g to take 12 hours apart as the herpes labialis prescription suggests and it worked wonders.  I got tingling on Tuesday, took medication on Wednesday (had small blister forming at time), and on Thursday it is a small healing scab.  Never got big enough for anyone to notice unless I pointed it out (which I did to everyone in my dental office because the healing was so great, they agreed). I am going to recommend for my patients who suffer from frequent cold sores."


"I been on this pill for a little over 4 months now so far so good up until today I had the worst experience ever. I was having a bad mood or anxiety attack. I had company over and I felt so overwhelmed. I lost focused and wondered off into space. I couldn't focus properly. I also felt so tensed up and just wanted to scream. When my company left I felt short of breath and my whole body felt so achy. I almost called for medical help. I finally gathered myself together and called my friend who is a nurse. The first thing she asked is which birth control are you taking.? She knew exactly why I was going crazy. It makes me so moody but never this bad. "


"My doctor suggested this since it is a 91 day cycle which would help with other health issues. I've been spotting for months now and have had frequent nausea and cramps. I'm changing to Ovcon 35 and hoping that will be better."


"I've been on the patch for a week now & it's super easy to use. I'm sure I'd forget all the time to take the daily pills, so this once a week thing is great! I'm using the patch to help control my low platelets which causes a heavy flow, red spots on my skin & unexplained bruising, however the fact that it also prevents pregnancy is perfect. Anyway I haven't had my period yet since I've been on it for only a week but I haven't experienced any headaches, mood swings & cramping which is great. I however think I've gotten acne from it. Exactly a week ago I got this new foundation so maybe I got the acne from that. I honestly don't know. Going to ask my Dr for acne meds cause of it. I usually don't break out this much, not since middle school."


"I made it through 3 days and discarded the bottle.  I read the reviews and took the advise of most to only do a half pill.  I am glad I did as the effects from just a half pill was enough to scare me.  Within about 15 minutes it felt like my heart was going to explode out of my chest.  This lasted about 30 minutes then it calmed down to a less fearful level.  I felt pretty jittery and certainly like I was on "something" for several hours.  I took a 1/2 table twice a day, ate first so to lessen the side effects.  By day three and again my heart just going nuts, and thinking how silly this will be if I have to go to the hospital, I said no more.  Threw away the bottle.  It will be easier to just not eat ice cream at midnight! :-)"


"had 3 shots shot #1. the provider knew nothing other than she was supposed to administer the shot. #2. did explain some what info of the shot. #3. did not know where on the arm for the injection......Should have not taken #3. several days after each shot sweated at night,. the bone between knee and hip hurt tremendous for several days, had heasdaches......it has been 2 years since last prolia shot.  MAYBE THINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT IF ALL HAD STARTED CORRECTLY.  EXPLAIN, EXPLAIN IS IMPORTANT FOR ADMINISTING ANY DRUGS TO PATIENTS"


"My pain was almost completely gone within minutes! Other than the pain from the shot."


"Thank you to everyone who left a review letting me know that my cycle would be messed up and my 2nd period after taking Plan B would be late!

My first period following the pill came right on time 2 weeks later but when the 2nd was 10 days late,  I started to freak out.   I stopped worrying after reading others experiences and now after another 8 days I finally got it. .. Yay!

I would highly recommend this product.   I took it within 12 hours and other than my slight panic attack a month later, it worked great!"

"I give Drysol 100%. This product works. I have been having sweating problems all my life. I'm from Jamaica so I thought it was the climate but then I moved to Canada thinking it's cold so I will stop sweating. I was so wrong. Thank goodness I found this product. I apply it once a week and I'm dry all the time. At times I find myself feeling my shirt if its dry. It's amazing. Now I can wear all color T-shirts without the worry of sweat marks."


"I receive inapsine or droperidol in an ER visit to assess a small gastric bleed related to gastroparesis. The nausea and vomiting had persisted for 2 days.  However, within 10 minutes of the drug administration, I became severely restless and unable to remain in the bed. I suffered the worst episode of restless leg syndrome in my life, but it involved my upper body and arms, too!. I paced, stretched, and moved constantly trying to achieve some comfort. I became repeatedly tangled in the IV tubing.  Finally, I relaxed after having received several IV or IM doses of diazepam. I remained awake at home until the following morning."


"I took Relpax today for the second time, took it once before. It has given me No relief what so ever and I'm experiencing the same side effects as the first time I took it. Before you wonder why I would take it a second time, I thought perhaps I had just been in so much pain before I would give it another go. I have severe back pain, numbness and tingling in my fingers and ringing in my ears. Also, the migraine seems to have gotten worse. Now my eye has so much pressure, it feels like it's bugging out of my face. I will NEVER take this drug again."


"I started stelara in 2013 cleared me up, miracle drug. Two years later I developed psoriatic arthritis and stelara did not help my arthritis. My dr switched me to cosentyx back in April and my lower leg is broke out and cosentyx is not helping my arthritis. My dr is swithing me to taltz now. I have never taken any TNF's such as Humira but may have too."


"After years of  suffering almost daily, feeling like a bad mother because my girls spent so much time looking after me and going to several doctors I was given Propranolol and have had weeks of being pain free, which is the greatest feeling ever."


"I am on Tri-Previfem and it's been about 7 weeks and I've already consulted with my doctor to change birth control. Overall my experience on Tri-Previfem was awful. I bled the entire first month and now on my second month it's causing me to have painful intercourse. "


"I've been taking this medicine for four days and feel a little off balance still, but the jittery insides are gone and so is almost every pain I had!  I feel so good, better mood and everything."


"In 2001 had liver transplant. Still had Hep C. Received Sovaldi in a Giliead program only for Hep-C with transplant patients. Free. Cured. 8 months out. No side effects worth mention. Didn't miss a beat. Caught from transfusions, 1981, Discovered 1995, Transplant 2001, Cured 2014."


"Very nauseous, hope hair does not fall out"


"It was three days before Christmas 2010 and my husband and I was out and about shopping in the Malls and stores for Christmas gifts. It just came on him really fast
 ache, shakes and sweat, fever of 104.7 sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching everywhere, stuffy head. So bad that he was out for the count and we thought we would not get to go anywhere for Christmas. Well then to top it off my Son who is 14 got sick too.
So I was working taking care of them and you guessed it got sick too! We all went to the doctor and got Tamiflu and wow!!!  Miracle medicine. Would love to Kiss the person who found this! We were coming out of it the first day we all took it. The Best 1-10 it a 100! Thanks so very much from not sick any more."


"I am only 23 years old and I had my Implanon removed today. I had it in for about 8-10 months and the only reason why I rated it a 2 instead of a 1 is because it did not get me pregnant. However, my side effects have been mood swings, off and on periods (never stable), and nipple discharge. For 2 months, we have been trying to figure out why the discharge was happening; after doing MRI scans and breast ultrasounds and everything look normal (not mentioning the costs of all this) the doctor said more than likely is was the Implanon and to have it removed, so I did. "


"This really is a miracle. After trying SSRI's and having all of the side effects with no relief, Wellbutrin has truly helped me with no side effects except weight loss (which I'm not complaining about). I take it for both depression and ADD and it does wonders with my mood and concentration. I was also able to quit smoking without a struggle. Thanks, Wellbutrin."


"I've used this before and nothing happened like alot of other people it seems. Both the external and the internal medicines burn sk badly. I used wipes and wet cloths and tried to push it out. I'm sitting with an ice pack trying to ignore the painful and incessant burning. Awful product."


"I was skeptical to try Implanon because of all of the negative reviews. I had never taken a birth control before but I am extremely happy with choosing Implanon! The procedure didn't hurt but it did leave a bruise on my arm for about a week. I have not had any negative side effects except acne, but that is common with anything that is changing your hormones.

All my friends are on the pill and they always complain that they 'forgot' to take one or they have to go to the pharmacy. Implanon is very convenient and I'm happy I have it instead of pills or having to worry about keeping up with a shot!

If you are interested in Implanon try it out! If it works for you, you won't be sorry!"


"I was constipated due to some medicine I was on following oral surgery. I have never taken a laxative because I never had issues.  So I took 2 pills before bed and honestly it was the worst decision I have ever made!  Wish I had researched before. I had all the horrible side effects for hours. I am still in bed 15 hours after taking those stupid pills. The sweats are gone but my stomach is cramping and I can't sit up without feeling nauseous.  Save yourselves. Please do not take this drug. Frankly I think it should not be sold OTC."


"I have (had) a severe needle phobia.  I got really sick and was often given high doses of Ativan while in the hospital, that exposure to needles did help a little bit.  Now I need to get my blood tested often.  I used to take three or four 0.5mg pills before getting my blood taken and with family member support was able to have blood taken with little drama. I would usually fall asleep for several hours after.  I have been able to work my way down to one 0.5mg pill when I get blood taken and after a half hour nap I am fine.
I would not take this day to day for anxiety because of the drowsiness, I also don't feel it is necessary for me.

Ativan has been wonderful helping me get over my phobia."


"I'm 48, and found that this nicely balanced the issues I'm having with estrogen dominance. I've had no side effects that I can tell, but a real clearing up of the fuzzy brain, night sweats, and trouble sleeping.  I love it!"


"While my RLS inevitably was in the evening, I also had it during the day.  My dose slowly increased  to 1mg three times a day.  Two years ago  I fell asleep while driving, then later I Was told I was "napping" for seconds to 10+ minutes even while conversing.  Last month, typing at table, I "found myself" standing over my chair reading something I had not typed, & was frightened!  Then, was working in my kitchen -- then was in another room about to sit down, landing hard on kitchen floor. Have tried 2 newer meds with no RLS relief.  Now decreasing mirapex,  take 0.5 tid (half previous dose) & today trying twice daily.  Neurologist is trying alternative meds & so far nothing works but pramipexole, so am decreasing dose every few days."


"I was diagnosed with idiopathic intracranial hypertension in the early summer of 2013. I was put on 1000mg of Diamox at the beginning of November 2013 to keep the fluids from damaging more of my vision through swelling of my optic nerves. Felt the side effects within the first hour. Tingling in my hands and feet, some days my face. There were even days when my eyes and lips would twitch. All carbonated drinks taste like drinking battery acid. The first few weeks sucked, but it gets better with time.
I just saw my eye specialist yesterday, 6 months of being on the miracle medicine, and the Diamox (and shedding a few pounds) has done it's job and not a trace of swelling! I'm able to come off it in a few short weeks. Thank God for good doctors!"


"I took this BC for a year. My main reason for taking was due to recurring ovation cysts that ruptured every month and it worked wonders. As an added bonus it did its job as a birth control and without any side effects. I had no weight gain no acne no babies and no cysts. I didn't lose my sex drive. And when I did stop taking it I was pregnant the second month after. So it didn't effect my fertility which is a huge thing for me considering I miscarried after being on depo for 6 months."


"Doc switched me from lisinopril to losartan because I had cough. Been on this for two weeks and from  day 1 had weak legs, heavy feeling in head, confusion and insomnia.  By second week started having heart palpitations and dizziness and tingling in my right foot.  Last straw was red itchy eyes and swollen/sore throat. Stopping this tonight. Rather take lisinopril and deal with cough until I see my new doctor on Friday.  Think it also makes me tired and constipated, nauseous, and no appetite.  Did not look at side effects first but when I listed how I was feeling since taking this drug were right there.  I'll keep looking for something better but am also following  the DASH diet and have lost 30 lbs recently so hope to be off this drugs soon"


"I've had severe anxiety for as long as I can  remember...clonazepam has actually helped in so many ways I would recommend it if your anxiety is really bad. The cons though it makes you sleepy "


"I was not on my period, had no medication to open my cervix, and had no numbing spray. The insertion was painful for about 30 seconds. I was sweating, had abdominal cramps that felt like I was going to have diarrhea, and some menstrual cramps. I had bad cramps for about 2 hours after insertion. I had no bleeding after insertion & didn't have a period until 8 weeks later. I recommend having someone drive you home & taking a heating pad with you. Take Motrin like an hour before you go. I would 100% do it again & hope that the rest of my time with it works out. So far I feel like my sex drive has increased which had always been a problem on other birth control. My husband cannot feel it my doc says the strings are wrapped around my cervix."


"About 18 months ago I became very unhappy, got headaches and was not feeling well. My GP referred me to a psychiatrist, I was diagnosed with depression and started taking Cymbalta 60mg once a day. It worked like a miracle! Within a few days I stopped having the mentioned symptoms and was back to the way I was before my depression started. I highly recommend it."


"At times had terrible urgency, very problematic on travel and even daily life, meeting, traffic etc. Started with Vesicare, which worked quite well, but seemed to reach a plateau. I then started on Sanctura about 5-6 weeks ago. It seems to be even better for me than Vesicare. Very happy with it so far, even though I still not consider myself normal quite yet but any improvement is great. Compared to before the drugs, the improvement is fantastic, my best recommendations for this drug."


"I wish I could give this drug less than a 1- I think it will be off the market soon- it was horrible- I have never felt so bad! Now on Phentermine and loving it!!!! Trust me- stay away from this drug!"


"I don't have anything bad to really say about Mirena, I don't have periods I don't have mood swings or any type of side effects when it was first put in I only lightly cramped that day and that was it. The only thing that I have had an issue with that most women wouldn't mind is I have lost weight. So far I have lost 27 pounds I have had it in for 10 months now and went from a size 12 to a size 2. "


"I'm 17, and took 30MG Vyvance for the first time yesterday. I'm taking it for binge eating disorder, not for ADD or ADHD. After about an hour I was cold and sweaty, I couldn't control what was coming out of my mouth, I fit 4-5 sentences into one breath I was talking so fast. My heart rate was 92 a minute, when I later checked after coming down it was 62 a minute. I felt like the world was moving really slow and I was normal, I felt like I was on top of the world! I began craving Vyvanse about 12 hours after taking it for the FIRST TIME. I didn't, because I refuse to abuse this medication with all the other medications I'm on , anyways. I took it again this morning, it's been an hour and a half and I still feel nothing, not even focused."


"I've got mixed feelings about this product, I had blackheads on my nose and checks and also around the eyebrows so I used epidulo gel around my face. First couple of days no difference. I've stopped using it when I put sun screen, moisturiser, makeup or other acne gels on I got a really bad stinging. My face was as bright as a tomato (I haven't been in the sun). My face was peeling! I now have to have a face washer on my face to cool it down but I noticed that all my blackheads are gone and there's no sign of pimples. My paws are really clear with no signs of pimples but I still have the 'sun' burn."


"I feel okay about this BC method because I hate taking pills and the other methods I don't really like because of the fact we´d keep them inside our body (the ring, the umbrella, the one thats inside your arm). And then the shot causes thinning of the bones. But the negative thing is that it causes me to be super emotional, and get really bad mood swings. I SOMETIMES get bad migraines and nauseousness. I also feel sensitive to fumes and smells."


"I was put on an antibiotic while waiting for my urine culture to come back, and the day after I finished that course of antibiotics I was put on Cipro, as the bacteria was not sensitive to the previous antibiotic. I have only taken 2 Cipro(last night and this morning) but I've had to stop taking them as my wrist is swollen to nearly twice its normal size and I have almost intense pain."


"I have had skyla since May 2014 and I absolutely love it!! Though I still get a period every month. I've been with my man for two years and he never pulls out. Glad I have skyla because we'd probably be on our third child. Haha!"


"I've been taking meclizine for the past year on and off due to BPPV. When I feel "off" and know it's coming I take a 25mg pill 3 times a day for a day or so. If I ignore the feeling (sometimes I'm in denial...) and the world begins to spin I take a pill and the world rights itself within an hour.

"


"Clonazepam is very effective in controlling my restless leg problem.  My dosage is .5 mg.  I have little to no side effects that I am aware of."


"I take this for the bad days of my chronic pain syndrome that my doctor won't give an official diagnosis, but basically the symptoms are like those of fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndromes.  We've ruled out everything else!  Anyway, I also take it for migraines, as I unfortunately don't tolerate the typical medicines for those.  As long as I really moderate how much and how often I take it, the pain is much more tolerable.  Not gone, but much better than it would otherwise be without it!  The downside to this drug (like all of the other opiates) is that I've built a tolerance to it over the years.  Fortunately have never become physically dependent on it!  I find that it is better for me than Vicodin or Darvocet because it has less gastrointestinal side effects."


"Age: 22 Kids: 0
I have had my Mirena for nearly three years and I love it! Insertion was painful for about a minute and I had bad cramps for a few hours afterwards but since then, nothing! It is expensive if you dont have good benefits (luckily I do!) I've only had two 'periods' since the day I got my Mirena and they were very light and lasted only a day or two.  Some months I get slightly crampy for a few days but this happens very rarely!  I was concerned about the Mirena migrating or turning or doing something it wasn't supposed to but have been to my gyno for annual check ups and it hasn't moved at all. I will definitely get the Mirena again when I'm done having children! We NEVER have protected sex (3 years!) my husband and I both love it."


"This is my wonder drug for migraines ONLY if you can catch it early. I have tried a few different migraine medicines: Maxalt, Imitrex, Treximet, Fiortal, Indocin, Vicodin, and Percocet. I have suffered from migraines for 4 years, however I am able to recognize the signs before an attack. Treximet is expensive (9 pills for $220ish), but if you have a health care plan that covers it, it works wonders . Once again, if you do not take this medicine as soon as you feel the migraine coming on, it will do nothing. For me it took some getting used to. There are some side effects, but the relief  outweighed those... for me."


"Had been suffering from intense itching from head-to-toe, poor sleep, and was becoming more anxious because of the itching. Saw immediate calming of itching, slept calmly and had reduced feeling of anxiousness because of itching. Recommended to a family member. Didn't realize how miserable I had been until the symptoms had been calmed."


"Well I'm 13 and I've never used this before and I was gonna see if when you use this, it burns or hurts at all, does it?"


"Pharmacy started giving me this drug arbitrarily when they switched to CVS. First month didn't like it- was itchy for no reason, frequent headaches that wouldn't go away. Pharmacy tech told me "it can take up to 3 months to get used to it" and no offer to switch. Over 4 months I gained 15 pounds, had a headache almost every other day, extreme bloating and distention, fatigue, dizziness, indigestion, hazy vision and problems with my contacts. I have been on many kinds of bc pills over the years and this is by far the worst ever. It did what it was supposed to and kept me from getting pregnant or I would have given a lower score. I couldn't take it any more- there was no "getting used to" it. I switched. Do NOT TAKE THIS PILL."


"I was on 3 different medications before Zegerid.  They would work for a day or so then all my symptoms would come back.  Finally my doctor gave me Zeg to try out and I haven't had any symptoms since."


"Being 60 years old and still having acne, I've been able to try lots of OTC and prescription medicines for bad skin, from antibiotics to Retin-A to a tons of other products.   Aczone is the only thing that has actually worked.  I've. been using it for over a year now and love it.  The product never made my skin worse like many products I have tried. It got better right away and has been clear now since I started using it."


"I received 5/325 prescription to pass a kidney stone or pain thought to be from stones. It helped to lesson the ache so I could sleep but after just a few days the dose didn't do much of anything. Taking 10/325 helps but I can't function on it.  Ten days later since ER trip and even taking one pill or less a day and I feel kind of like a zombie, have nausea and dark urine. I do not know for a fact it's from the medicine so I do think it's worth trying if you have mild to medium pain.  I wouldn't make a habit of it since its known to be very addictive...if you can deal with the pain."


"I've had the Nexplanon implant since November of 2013. In the last 6 months I have gained 20 lbs. My periods are irregular, with brown clotty spotting lasting at least 20 days a month. I have absolutely NO sex drive. I have acne breakouts on my lower chin every now and then. I'm very moody and I've noticed other mental issues with matters such as memory. This birth control does it's job well at preventing pregnancy but everything else is a negative for me. I'm not speaking for anyone else but this is not agreeing with my body. I will be having it removed as soon as possible. I tried to wait for my body to adjust to it, but I think I've given it enough time."


"This patch worked great on my cruise but I am still having side effects from the withdrawal 2 days later.  The side effects are not fun."


"I am a 55 year old male recently diagnosed with Osteporosis. My Dr. wanted me on Forteo right away. I of course was concerned about side affects due to all of the warnings. Have been on this drug for almost 1 month, no side affects. Also the needle is tiny and short and you cannot feel it. I am hopeful that me next set of tests show improvement."


"This medicine was  magical! My husband and I were shocked how fast this medicine worked for our son who is 8 now. It literally worked over night we couldn't  even believe it. This medicine was life-changing for our family and such a great way. Three years  later he is still on it but he's on 3mg now because of his age and weight. The only problem I believe he did get from it was constipation. We have that under control now."


"I've had Implanon in for almost a year. Since I've had it I haven't gone for more than 2 days without spotting, will have a heavy period for up to 5 weeks, migraines, muscle pains, joint aches, acne, incredible mood swings, will cry for no reason, extreme anxiety where everything around me goes hazy and I feel like I'm moving in slow motion, my breasts constantly ache and I've gained about 35 pounds. While it's great to not have to worry about taking a pill daily, the side effects aren't worth it. "


"In my 3rd week of taking Zyban. I smoked as usual for the 1st 2 weeks 1 pack a day. Slowly I started smoking less frequently and only half a cigarette at a time. I am now not smoking at all and more importantly I dont even think about smoking. I have trouble falling asleep at night....but so far thats the only side effect I am experiencing. I am finally on the road to being a non smoker for the 1st time in 24 years."


"After being on Ortho-Tri Cyclen, which gave me every possible bad symptom in the world, I asked my Ob/Gyn to put me on Avaine after reading some good things about it. Avaine has been a God send. I have been on it for about a month now. No/very little weight gain. Hardly any mood swings(nothing abnormal from when I have my period). No breakthrough bleeding and no acne. I am on day 2 of my period now and it even seems a lot lighter than it normally was. Avaine is Amazing!"


"The first month was amazing. Then I had my first period..... That lasted for 30 days. I also gained 15 lbs in one month while on a diet, started getting extreme acne and have 0 sex drive. I have never experienced anything like it in my life. But I didn't get pregnant, so technically it works but side effects are not worth the "convenience""


"Quite simply the most effective anti anxiety medicine available"


"I've been on the shot for 5 months now. When I first got the shot, about three weeks in I started to bleed like normal period but then got lighter and lighter and continued for 3 weeks. Eventually it went into light spotting about every 4 weeks for a few days. I also will get a lot of sharp pain cramps that will last a few minutes every now and then but this happens randomly. Other than that I have no side effects. The doctor tells me the spotting and cramps will stop as my body gets used to the shot."


"I have been taking Yaz for 2 weeks now. I get breakouts but they go away quickly and come back. I was still willing to give it a chance.
I am stopping because I have become depressed, exhausted, negative and I over analyze things which means I over react and I'm very emotional. This is affecting my relationship and my work. I feel overwhelmed."


"I used Trixaicin HP for Thoracic Spine Damage to the nerve root at the C5, C6 level (C6 root) causing numbness in my index finger and thumb. I used gloves and put the Trixaicin directly on the pain. That caused the Trixaicin to heat up so much it burned. Not unbearably but it did cause me to wonder if it heated up worse on the pain because that was the most painful spot."


"Been in therapy with a Counselling Psychologist for just over 3 years.

Diagnosis from Consultant Psychiatrist - Complex-PTSD, Bipolar Type 2 and Fibromyalgia.

Been on Sertraline 200mg for 2 years. Ate Diazepam 2.5mg like smarties after a relationship with an Anti Social Personality Disordered Man.

Been taking Quetiapine since December '15 and slowly moved up to 125mg to increase to 200mg.

Was taking 7.5mg Mertazipine for sleep though have now removed it due to increase of Quetiapine and weight gain.

Overall I'm feeling much calmer, more rational, less reactive and more confident talking to people.

After intrusive thoughts, cognitive dissonance, depression, anxiety, insomnia, crying, dissacociation, nightmares etc I'm happy!"


"Please be very careful, and I repeat very careful. My doctor prescribed xanas to treat my panic disorders from underground stations (london) phobia of being under the earth's surface. I was managing fine with other medication such as vistaril which did a great job but was keeping me tired.

Almost two months later I asked my doctor to take me off them, because xanax just makes me want to sleep and sit on the coach doing nothing, we tried all dosages and I still felt sad inside. Here is the shocking part, only 8 days after my last dose (which was weaned slowly over two weeks), I had my first ever seizure at the age of 29.

I never had seizures, no family history, never ever will I touch this stupid medicine again, never."


"My husband has borderline rheumatoid arthritis, is diabetic, has bouts of atrial fib, and is overweight. He is working on losing weight, so he can have surgical oblation on his heart, to minimize the afib. He kept having extreme muscle/tendon pain. Rheumatologist dx: fibromyalgia. put on Cymbalta, 30 mg x 1wk, then 60mg. been on 60 mg x 5 days, MAJOR difference in the pain. Hasn't complained at all. Whole new world. Has even helped his depression and anxiety attacks. (not clinically diagnosed, but still there). Unfortunately, it has made him severely tired, and his libido is not what it used to be. Beginning to be on the verge of erectile disfunction. Great drug, but at what cost? Something to think about"


"I have suffered from migraines for about 14 years. Took Topamax for 8 weeks. At 100mg a day I was having moderate headaches every single day, but no migraines. BUT the side effects were just too much: terrible anxiety, irritability, diarrhea, complete brain fog, intense tingling in fingers, numbness in feet, extreme sensitivity to cold, very frequent urination, changes in taste leading to disinterest in food.
I also would not recommend this medication if you are also on birth control pills to alleviate menstrual cramps. That was one of the worst side effects for me - daily cramps for over 3 weeks. If it weren't for that and the anxiety, I may have tried to wait it out."


"After taking 2 pills I suddenly experienced chills and fever of 101, and a severe throbbing headache . I called the dr, spoke to the nurse she advised to continue taking . My gut told me not to, later in the evening I developed tingly fingers . I called my dr and he said stop taking I may be having a serum reaction. It's been over 24 hours since I have taken macrobid and still have terrible throbbing headache , upper back ache , and low grade fever.  This medication is poison !!!  I can't believe it hasn't been banned ! Will pass the word to everyone never to take this horrible drug !"


"I have been taking Paxil for 15 years now and it does the job most of the time.  I still have bouts of depression when things in my life go sideways.  The worst part is the weight gain and the lack of sex drive.  It is a tough choice but without Paxil I was suicidal.  It is a part of my life now."


"This is my 3rd week on Trulicity. The first 2 weeks weren't good. I had bloating, stomach pain,  indigestion and constipation. It woke me up in the night. My blood sugar wasn't improving either. I took my 3rd dose 2 days ago. Yesterday and last night, I had the bloating and stomach pain. I started feeling better this morning. Some of the gas passed and I struggled through the rest. This morning, my fasting blood sugar was 130 when it has been 190-225 in the past. This is an improvement, but I've got a ways to go yet. I feel better if I eat very small meals and have a healthy snack in between. It's better than Victoza."


"I am in my mid 40's and had been dealing with heavy periods for the last 10 years. I have had a hysteroscopy (not hysterectomy), tried every kind of birth control and most recently, endometrial ablation and nothing had worked. I was not willing to get a hysterectomy without trying all my other alternatives. I found Lysteda on the internet and asked my Doctor to let me try this. Lysteda has been a life saver for me! I gave it a 9 out of 10 though because I have had serious dizzy spells and I am attributing this to the medication. But it seems to be the only side effect I have. "


"Go to Costco and sign up for their prescription program.  Unbelievable difference in cost  in comparison to other pharmacies.  This medication saved my life."


"I was switched to this from Loryna (generic Yaz) two months ago. I've been on some form of BC since age 19 to control horrible cramps and prevent ovarian cysts, and I'm 27 now. Hoped this pill would lessen the ovarian tenderness and stop the weight gain (40 lbs in one year!) I had while on Loryna. Well, I'm horribly gassy and have had diarrhea every day for going on three weeks now of my 2nd pack. It's clearing up my acne and sex drive is better by a smidge, but my period is a lot longer and heavier, rather than shorter and lighter like it was on Loryna. Cramps are much worse, too, and I feel tired all the time. The crazy appetite increase Loryna gave me hasn't changed, either. Calling my gyno today to see if I can switch."


"This Belviq is amazing, I have a friend that is working out with me for the last two years and he is trying harder to lose weight. He was 198 pounds, and after working out for 2 years he lost 4 pounds. Its been a months that he is taking the Belviq and he lost 7 pounds. He is so excited and there is no side effects. It is recomended for you also. I was very impressed of the result. Thanks to Belviq"


"Overall, Norpace has been a lifesaver with few side effects that are noticeable. I have been taking Norpace for 16 yrs and have had to increase from taking two per day, three per day and they are considering 4.  But, there have been no side effects at all that I can attribute to Norpace on its own, other that I cannot take it with Levaquin, an antibiotic, at the same time.  No idea why, was given strong advise from the pharmacist.  Appreciated his advice."


"Calan SR worked miracles for me.  It doesn't stop the headaches; over a short period of time the drug builds up in your system and then you can feel an attack coming on (the eye starting to droop and some nasal congestion), then, viola, the headache is aborted!"


"I've had paragard for just over a month. I felt compelled to write a review because I feel like people only review things when they have a bad experience and there aren't enough good reviews out there.

I read horror stories about the insertion. But to my relief, it barely hurt. The most painful part was the speculum being removed. I did not have any cramping after and I went to the gym the next morning.

The first 2 weeks were great. No side effects at all. About 10 days before my period I got cramps on and off and a little spotting. When my period finally started I was expecting the worst, based on the horror stories. Day 1 was pretty heavy but after that it was lighter than usual and only lasted 5 days. I love my paragard so far!"


"Lamictal handles most of my symptoms, but I continue to deal with money issues and relationships."


"Only took one prescribed dose with real bad reaction. Ended up in hospital with dangerously slow heart rate. Unable to talk, walk or stand, it felt like I had a stroke. Severe joint pain and urinary retention developed within 24 hours and I found it incredibly difficult to remain conscious. Hospital staff did not recognise the symptoms as an adverse effect of the medication, even though I handed them the advisory notes from the medication, and treated me as though I was just having an anxiety attack or attention seeking. It wasn't until I was discharged and read up on the medication that I was able to confirm that all the symptoms I had were listed as side effects. needless to say I did not take any more."


"Lexapro seemed to do some things to help with the negative thinking I had from depression, but it had the side effect of making me extremely tired all the time, which was enough to counteract any of the positive benefits I was getting from it. Zoloft ended up being the better medication for me."


"I am 21 years old, and a senior in college. I told myself that if I had a good experience on Zoloft I would share it. I have been on it for almost two months now. I started at 25mg and I am not on 50mg. I couldn't even sit through class without feeling like I was going to have a panic attack, and I could barely go out in public. I am on 1mg Klonopin twice a day (have been for a year). Zoloft worked WONDERS for me! I was suicidal as well and had crazy obsessive thoughts. Those have been completely diminished. I have tried other anti-depressants, and they made me feel gloomy. However, Zoloft has done the opposite for me and has brought me back to my old self! I had minimal side effects, and I am completely adjusted now. Thank you Zoloft!"


"Plaquenil changed my life.  90% improvement after about a month of 400mg daily.  Without this med, I only function at 10% with several flares per year.  With this med, I'm lucky enough to now have 0-1 flares per year.  Thank you, rheumy, for saving my life.  Side effects are all GI related for the first few weeks to a month, but are no longer a problem after your body adjusts to the med.  I also grew my hair back quickly & fully within a year of starting Plaquenil.  It is FANTASTIC for fatigue & pain.  I am sick much less often than prior to starting Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine is the generic name.)"


"I'm currently on 150mg daily of this medication and it does a great job in preventing headaches. A few smaller ones get through that ibuprofen will take care of but the amount of serious headaches and migraines have decreased significantly. The only difficulty is because the pills are so lightweight they do not go down easily. I have to chase it with food (such as taking it during dinner) or else the pills get stuck and cause pretty bad heartburn-type difficulties."


"Very high smoking sensation, weight gain, tiredness, and insomnia. But its the best antipsychotic med for me."


"I started this with minimal side effects but on the 3rd day I couldn't deal with how it made me feel. My head was hurting and I felt outside of myself. I stop the medicine after the 3rd pull. It did curb my cravings but I didn't like feeling outside of myself. I'm a little disappointed because I was hopeful."


"I have had Botox three times for incontinence and found relief for about six months each time.  This medication works even better from the first pill.  I have now been taking this for a month and it has changed my life.  I was going to have the sacral nerve implant which was very frightening to me, but now I don't have to go through with it.  I am a little bit upset that my doctor did not mention this medicine to me until I asked if there were any new medicines on the market.  I have taken Detrol and Ditropan with no marked improvement. If you have an over active bladder this medication is fantastic."


"Helped the inflammation and pain, but gave me insomnia."


"I've had bad acne since I was in middle school. I didn't do anything about it until around the summer of 10th grade because I started to get cystic acne on a regular basis. My dermatologist put me on Doxycycline. At the time I was not always regular with taking pills and when my acne did get better and start to go away I thought I was fine. The acne just kept coming back and I took antibiotics and creams like retinol and Epiduo and all sorts of benzoyl peroxide washes but nothing worked. So my dermatologist finally convinced me to get on Accutane. As of right now I'm 5 months in and my skin has never been better it's amazing. My side effects were dry eyes (I have contacts) dry face, dry lips and nose bleeds. I honestly wish I did it sooner!"


"I was on Paxil since I was 16. I didn't know how good it was until I went off of it 16 years later. Major panic attacks and life felt like it was not worth living! Tried other SSRI's which didn't work and made me feel worse! (Zoloft and Pristiq were the worst!) Going back to Paxil. Never should have quit it in the first place! I hope to get the joy I once had back!"


"My 13 year old son is an athlete who loves running and playing basketball. He excels in both sports as one of the state's top junior high athletes and could not perform at his best without Singulair. Before Singulair, and during the fall allergy season, he would suffer asthma flares while training outside on the cross-country courses and he would have difficulty playing an entire basketball game without using his albuterol inhaler once and getting a breathing treatment after cross-country and basketball practices. We noticed after a week of Singulair what a new person he was, he hasn't used his inhaler for almost a year and doesn't use Advair anymore."


"I had Implanon inserted in December 2009. The insertion was fine and I had very little pain or bruising. It has now been in my arm for nine months and I am having to deal with the following: Acne, increased appetite, loss of sex drive and horrible mood swings and I generally feel very low in myself. I am due to have it taken out today and hope that I can return back to the woman I was."


"Please who ever is out there reading this please for your own good do not get this form of birth control. It has single handily ruined my life. I had Nexplanon for a year. I would have periods for straight two months at a time and then wouldn't have a period for a month or two. I developed anxiety. I had to quit my job and have had my whole life turned upside down. So this summer I had the heaviest period to date (it has been like game of thrones in my pants) I started my period on July 6th and I am still on it (August 12) I was hospitalized about a week ago due to all the blood loss. This mess will all be worth it if it steers at least one person away from getting it. I wouldn't wish this kind of side effect on anyone. "


"In my opinion only, this medication has marginal efficiency in treating the positive and some negative symptoms of my psychosis. This medication help me think better and organize my thoughts more clearly, along with significantly reducing most of my delusions. However, from my personal experience I do not feel that this medication is very effective in treating depression, or depression related issues such as crying and getting angry easily. Otherwise, this medication also has some positive effects in treating bipolar symptoms."


"Been on Testim for around 3 weeks now. Have noticed slight changes in libido but not much in the way of anything else. My T levels were on the floor so it may take a couple of  months to get them sorted out. I suspect I have had low testosterone levels for a while now but it was only when things got tough and I felt down, depressed and thoroughly miserable at the age of 48 I decided to see doctor.

I suggested to GP that it was an androgen problem and she told me that 99 per cent of guys who come in and tell her that don't actually have low T. I persuaded her to run the test and it came back low, 144 I think. Did a confirmation level then I was referred to Endocrine consultant. Hopefully feel much better soon."


"I am a 39yr old female. I have had 2 back surgeries with metal plates and 6 screws. I also have degenerative disc disease, chronic pain syndrome and lumbar stenosis. I have been on Soma 350mg, Percocet 10, and  morphine 60mg for about 3yrs. I have tried all other muscle relaxers with no relief, this is the cure. It helps so great. Recommend this greatly. I take 4 per day along with all my other medications. I can't make it through the day without it. This makes me get through the day."


"My Doctor switched me to Hysingla 40mg from norcos 10/325 , and I'm in so much pain. I don't want to have to take anything, but I don't have a choice because of chronic pain. But I want to go back to Norcos. they work better!!"


"I have issues with heavy bleeding as result Mirena IUD was inserted 18 months ago.  My bleeding issue has completed been gone.  I get a very light period every month and am very happy with that.  Since my bleeding was so heavy, my other option would be hysterectomy.  My frustration is the weight gain, I've gained 15pounds since this was placed.  I'm only 5-2 and workout every single day and watch my carbs and take a very low calorie diet.  In spite of this, I still continue to gain weight.  I have constant bloating and terrible water retention.  All my weight is in my stomach and thighs.  I have an appointment this week to get it removed, however I'm scared of having the heavy bleeding again."


"I've been on this drug since the US release date, previous to that having to cross the border into Mexico to buy Provigil. Luckily I have no insurance hiccups with Nuvigil besides yearly prior authorizations. I have sleep apnea to which I've had 5 surgeries to correct & am Bipolar 1. I take 2 x 250 mg. tablets daily, spaced by 5 hours--it really helps with the extreme lethargy you get from atypicals & mood stabalizers, I don't think I'd be able to hold a job without it. This is not some miracle Limitless drug for those who seriously need it, its a way to change your life to keep up when all your other meds just slow you down. I was on 1 dose a day & it wore off within 5-6 hours, thus the second dose. $5 copay with coupon on their site."


"I really like this pill! The only major lasting side effect was weight gain and I did put on quite a few pounds within a couple months, but it's nothing too worrisome. I also have never gotten my period will on this pill and it has been about a year now since I have first taken it. I have talked to my physician and it is normal. All I get is a bit of brown-ish substances when I'm on the sugar pills. My acne has cleared up wonderfully. I have such great skin and have gotten many compliments on it! The downside is my skin has dried up quite a bit, but moisturizer helps. Overall, I really love this brand of birth control, but because I want to follow a more natural path for my menstrual cycle, I will be swapping to a different brand."


"I've had my implant for a little over a year. I got it late November 2015. Although I haven't gotten pregnant, I've had some things occur that lead me to believe it my implant. I started gaining weight in March of 2016, but most of it came on during the summer of this year 2016. I've gained 50 pounds withing the time span of having this. My daily routines have remained the same, and throughout most of my life, I've been the same weight or around it. This weight gain is rediculously dramatic. I've also had migraines pretty bad for 5+ years that Only last for about 10 hours at most. I've had a constant migraine, dizziness, blurry eyes, etc for a week and a half straight. It's never been like this so I believe it's my implant."


"I've been on Lithium for over four years. I enjoy the stability it gave me and I haven't had a manic episode since starting lithium. My problem is dehydration. I avoid water and choose flavored beverages to cover up that metallic taste. My Lithium level is always high as a result. Forcing yourself to drink water just causes you to have to use the bathroom ever 15 minutes so I live with thirst. The hand tremor is the worst side effect by far, I take a medication just to treat that alone."


"So I had gotten my first depo shot December 28,2015 in the ER because I was bleeding so bad from my cycle that the doctor said I had to get it so it can control my bleeding . so I noticed February 20th , 2016 brown old blood ai didnt know if it was normal , I was happy that the shot wore off because I read so many reviews and got scared . now its March 5th and Im bleeding normal / heavy in the middle . I'm worried that this will affect my marriage.  I just want the bleeding to be done and get regular ."


"My sister and I have a long history of motion sickness: a rocking chair or porch swing is enough to set it off for us!  This summer we took a trip to Jordan, Israel, Greece and Italy where we traveled on planes, buses, trains and ferries and rode in taxis, rented cars and jeeps--and camels and donkeys in the desert!--without any trouble at all, as long as we took our Bonine every morning.  We can't say enough about this product's efficacy!"


"Did great job of treating a sinus infection, where I had pounding headaches all day for 48 hours prior to use.  By day 2, I was significantly better.  One issue is that two pills on day 1 did wipe out bacteria in the gut. I wish pharmacist gave me a heads up.  In hindsight, I would have spaced first 2 pills out by at least 12 hours.  Took one pill at 4pm and another at 8pm.  By day 2 was fine, but I did need a probiotic and immodium to get through the first night."


"Yaz was great for the first 4 months. I then had a huge jump in my blood pressure. My doctor took me off of it immediately. After one week my blood pressure started dropping. PLEASE CHECK YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE! I had no clue. I have never had a problem with high blood pressure before taking YAZ."


"So helpful and I have never had a bad side effect."


"As a working mom, I literally do not have time to nap during the day. It finally became enough of an annoyance that I saw a doctor for the first time in 7  years.  Moral of the story, I was diagnosed with narcolepsy and prescribed Nugivil (250mg).  I am not thrilled to be taking a (possibly addictive) medication the rest of my life, but I want to explore my other options (rather than consume 3 energy drinks/day). So far, I have only been on it a week and after the headaches and no sleep wore off, I now get only a short time where I feel like I am ALL there.  To say I gave it a fair shot, I am going to stick it out for a month."


"My husband and I decided that the Mirena was our best option since he is still in school and I am a social worker.  I had the IUD placed 2 days before the wedding.  It was very painful. Since placement, I still have irregular bleeding, cramps, horrible dizziness, headaches, moodiness, and have gained weight.  I have had an MRI to rule out any issues with the dizziness and headaches as they did not start until about a month and a half after placement.  It is like Vertigo, but none of the treatments for vertigo have helped.  I think it is the Mirena.  I am too irresponsible with other forms of birth control so I am trying to wait it out and see if it gets better. "


"Works for anxiety but omg I am eating like food is going to run out"


"This drug is the first to relieve some of the severe symptoms  associate with severe back and leg pain from a work-related injury. I found it to be effective in reducing the pain level from 10 to about 7 (1-10 pain scale). There were no side-effects that I am aware of when given an injection in the ED setting."


"I suffered from EXTREME hyperhidrosis for eleven years since the age of thirteen. I used to wear several layers of clothing including paper towels under my arms to try to disguise the problem, but to no avail. I would sweat through several layers of clothing. Greatly to my surprise, after just two weeks of using Hypercare MY SWEATING CEASED. Because the active ingredient in it is an alcohol solution you can apply as many layers as you need without a nasty buildup of gunk that come with regular solid and gel antiperspirants. I really thought I was going to need botox or surgery, but ended up trying this product at the urging of my dermatologist. SO HAPPY."


"I'm writing this review to offer some hope- when I first got the shot, I read all these reviews and it freaked me out. Luckily I had none of the mood swing or depression side effects, but definitely still got the cramping and bleeding. After my first shot, I didn't bleed at all for about 2 weeks, until my regular cycle was due. Started with spotting and then bled regularly for the next 10 weeks. I read some other reviews from people saying they stopped bleeding after the second shot and, lo and behold, one week after my second shot and I stopped bleeding completely. I know I felt like I was going to bleed forever so hopefully this'll offer some hope to newcomers of the shot. Especially when they say something like 70% of women stop immediately"


"Began having Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome in November 2012. Hospitalized several times. We also found that I have a vestibular issue causing me to throw up. That has resolved but left with this CVS. I started taking this medication about 3 weeks ago and I think it helps. Started 30mg dose and had an episode so increasing to 40mg and holding, if I get sick I can increase to 50mg. I am struggling with anxiety, which I had before this all started. Increase anxiety to severe state as I never know if this vomiting thing is going to come back. Overall, it works. Side effects are not bad at all. Anxiety is almost unbearable, which is not a side effect of this medication. I think it is a side effect of having CVS."


"33 y/o female, 5'5, 125lbs, 200mg/day, 1 1/2 years and will continue indefinitely.

Pros: social anxiety gone. Unbelievable. Able to start spontaneous conversations with "strangers", now able to develop and share deep, intimate friendships. Not hyper self conscious anymore. I joke around and enjoy making people laugh. Sexually uninhibited (with my husband)- seriously, the best sex I've ever had, I'm not self conscious at all anymore and I have no problems with orgasm- actually the opposite (best. ever.) Weight loss, 25-30lbs, and I feel light, energetic and happy with my body now. Food! I used to be a horribly picky eater my entire life, now I try new foods without a second thought and enjoy them! Zoloft has changed my life."


"It's very effective  and last longer then most benzo but alprazolam is stronger!"


"post natal depression took over me last year and cannot even pass a day without having an argument with my partner that almost bring us apart. After all sorts of counselling and course to put myself straight I ended up wigh sertraline. I started at 50mg and the first day I toom it, it feels like a joke. I was laughing at my partner getting annoyed which used to made me angry and irritable at him. He even ask me if what im taking is happy pill. On the first 3 days were pin and needles on my palm, stomach upset and feels like vomiting all the time. After 2 months was on 100mg sleepless night no sex drive weight gain. But im happy and feeling great until now after 10 months cant sleep again. Will see gp soon. This help me get my life back thou"


"I have been taking Wellbutrin XL for a week now.  I am very committed to making a strong effort to burn through any initial side effects.  For the first few days I experienced tremors, euphoria and I can't get used to the terrible taste in my mouth.  Now, My tremors are less pronounced.  My euphoria appears to have worn off.  I am experiencing waking multiple times in the night although I seem to be able to fall back asleep.  I still have extraterrestrial yellow pee.  Unfortunately the terrible taste in my mouth is still present.  I think I may experience adult acne as result of this med.  My emotional eating has slowed down.  I am not overly lathargic.  I am in more control of my emotions.  I will continue for the 6 weeks to see."


"Terrible cough. After 3 weeks stopped medicine and cough got better."


"I have been using Trulicity 1.5 for almost one year (started February?).  Super easy, nearly painless injections 1x week.  Sometimes stomach hurts or a tad bit of decreased appetite.  However, nothing serious, nothing at all like the horrid Bydureon.  That was THE most aweful injections I have ever done and refuse to ever use that again!  Trulicity along with a small amount of Levemir and metformin have my blood sugars where they should be.  My biggest complaint is the cost.  OMG!!  The drug manufacturers are gouging us all!!"


"I've had nexplanon inserted 8.4.2013 and apart from bleeding for a month straight to start with it's been okay. I Just like the fact I know I'm always safe from getting pregnant. However over the 3 years sometimes I will come on my period like normal then other times I won't have a period for 4 months it's very hit and miss. At the moment I've been on my period for 2 months straight with 2days off in between. I am thinking about having it taken out now as my period just doesn't seem to be going away. I didn't gain any weight or have any other side affects.

Anyone wondering I'm 21 years old"


"I am a female and have struggled with my weight for over twenty years. I am 5'4 and weighed 287.3. I started taking Contrave Friday January 8th. At one week I dropped down to 280.6. At two weeks I'm down to 270.2. I'm only going to weigh myself once a week, but as of week 2 I've lost a total of 17.1 pounds. The only side effect I've experienced is a few head aches. I have to say I have not drank any pop, and I have no cravings for it. I'm eating three small meals a day even though I have not had much of an appetite. I really hope I continue to have success. I did not exercise the first week, but I've started walking a little each day."


"I've been on antidepressants drugs for 30 years for my anxiety and depression. The last 5 on Venafaxine 150 mg .. We all know the side effects sweating, memory loss to name a few .. However this is the best drug I PERSONALLY HAVE EVER USED"


"Helped my anxiety. Was already taking Lexapro added 0.5 mg of Klonopin no more anxiety attacks."


"I have been on sertraline for 4 weeks now. I started on 6 mg...yes I cut up the pills into 1/8! After 1 day of nausea I felt much better. After 2 weeks I moved up to 12.5 mg. still feeling great. I wish I had done this years ago. While my main problem is anxiety, on reflection I have  been depressed for years. Hope the very low dose continues to work. Life is just so much better, I am not constrained by wanting to go home all the time and most amazing anxiety over ridiculous things like waiting in line, etc."


"Surprisingly this is the only SSRI I have been able to tolerate at low doses with beneficial responses and minimal side effects.

Taking 20 mg and it's doing well at 1 year to minimize depression and panic attacks, though I tried going to 30 and became insomniac, down to 20 again, no problem.  No sexual side effects at this low dose.

No major weight gain, though I am a bit concerned about diabetes, A1C is climbing despite (or as a result of) my efforts - not sure if the Paxil is behind that too."


"I've been on this birth control near 6 months. In the begin I got it wasn't awful I did experience mood swings at first and break through bleeding. The longer I have been on it the more consistent it's almost as if I have my period 3 weeks on and one week off. It has made me severely irritable to put it nicely and because I have been bleeding so much my sex drive has also suffered. I would not recommend this birth control to anybody. In my opinion it's awful."


"Well I am 34 and have had prostatitis a few times. I have tried Doxy, Cipro and E-Mycin. The first time I took Cipro it gave me bad anxiety and the feeling of elevated pulse so my doctor switched me to Doxy which had helped me in the past. The Doxy has the least amount of side effects if you are taking for 3-4 weeks. Cipro is the stronger drug and probably will work better for prostatitis but the side effects if you get them are pretty brutal. The last time I took it in a ditch effort it gave me leg cramps and foot pain, so that was a red flag because of the black box warning. So I guess its back to Doxy. All drugs have side effects but if its was a life or death deal I would take the Cipro."


"I have been Nuvaring for about 4 months now...I love it. I switched to Nuva Ring because birth control pills make me sick to my stomach. The only problem I have found I have had is when inserting it I never did it right and it would kind of poke out a little. But after talking to my doctor and learning some tricks I haven't had any problems."


"I found Lupron to be effective in treating my symptoms of Endometriosis, particularly painful menstruation.  Lupron causes one to cease menstruating which in turn eliminates the pain associated with month to month and/or every two to four week menstrual periods.  That said, I developed a raised bump at the base of my skull on the back of my neck that itched and hurt.  I became dizzy and lightheaded and dealt with short term memory loss along with joint pain in my feet, mouth watering nausea, night sweats, nasal congestion, and acne.  The doctor could not give me an answer about the raised bump and that scared me so I chose to discontinue treatment."


"It took a good few years of chronic lower back pain to finally find out I've a dislocated coccyx, I've tried everything from cortisone injections to minor surgical procedures, nothing helped. My GP prescribed gabapentin 300mg 3 times a day, 12 weeks ago with immediate relief. I've had my dose slowly increased and am now on 900mg 3 times a day. I'm waiting for a big operation now to remove the coccyx so until then these are managing my pain. I've even stopped taking tramadol as these gabapentin were so effective!"


"This is my second time on Flagyl. I am on a 10 day course of it 2x daily for a bacterial infection in my stomach. Other than some gas pains I have had no bad side effects. There is a lot of bad things on "Dr. Google" and I have to refrain from googling things as they tend to make some feel the symptoms... to me Flagyl has worked and I hope everyone finds a medicine that will help them..Flagyl or not"


"Has had no effect"


"I haves struggled with acne since high school. I admit, it wasn't as severe as other cases. I occasionally had cysts, which I would cover with bandaids because I was too embarrassed. Over the years, my skin has been more clear but it's never really gone away. I'm currently in my sixth month of accutane. I think at this point, I was expecting more of a drastic change but haven't noticed a huge difference... yet. It's starting to kick in now though. The only side effects I have encountered are the dry lips, and the sweaty upper lip and eyebrows. The hardest part was the short time frame between lab work and getting the pills. More expensive than we anticipated, just in trying to order it. Stressful, but overall, better results than before."


"I have had some of the same side effects,but the one is well worth the other.I no longer experience the dread of having a heart attack,at a young age. I have been on blood pressure meds. Since I was 28,I'm now 45 yo. Been on several different meds for my blood pressure,..Thus stuff works."


"I took Plan B twice past half a year. Condom broke first time and then condom slipped, I am within a weight now and I took pills within 12 hour. Both times my period came 7 days late. First time I had terrible cramps I believe I made them worse by worrying and panicking. Just relax, everyone, it will work! Second time, my period was just delayed, no cramps. Which means even the same body reacts differently to this medicine. Rest well, take care of yourself, eat well and your period will come."


"I've been on the Depo shot for a yr and a half now and I have been bleeding ever since I took it. I have experienced a lot of weight gain and depression and tons of moods swings. You get cramps everyday as if you just got your period. I wouldn't recommend it if you don't like bleeding. Might work for some people but not for me. "


"Doesn't work all that well for me."


"Used step 1 14 patches and today is 1st day on step 2 haven't had 1 cig. It does itch a bit for 20min after applying and  messes with your sleeping but small price to pay. Also you get crazy dreams I've been enjoying those."


"Been on it for 5 yrs. Keeps my blood pressure and mitral valve prolapse under control. Have to take it every 12 hours. Can't go an hour past time or my body knows. I guess you can say that is a not so good thing. But, my symptoms are in check. Refuse to use an alternative medication. The downside to using beta blockers is the side effect. I break out with eczema and psoriasis, these are the biggest problem with this medication, but there are medications that keeps that under control as well."


"Took Savella 50 mg bid for one year. Helped dramatically with the fibro pain (I've had fibro 6 yrs). I'm a 57 year old medical professional who of course tried to deny that I even had this malady. Sometime approximately 3 months after starting Savella I noticed increasing fatigue and forgetfulness which I attributed to age and stress. The last 4 months I could barely stay awake without a daily nap, I couldn't remember how to run my coffee pot I've had 4 years, and couldn't remember how to get from point A to B while driving. Due to age, I underwent a Neuropsych eval and brain MRI-both normal. Weaned off Savella and my energy level and alertness have dramatically improved, but unfortunately the fibro pain is back. >:("


"Apri was the very first birth control pill prescribed to me. My skin cleared up to the point of being a little dry and my periods were light and regular. However, I started passing large clots during the placebo week, which were very painful. I also gained about 5-7 pounds and I could have been imagining it, but I thought my legs started feeling funny at night. I stopped taking this pill after 4 months and am now on a different brand I am very happy with."


"After having my first child, I realized I had gained 80lbs! My original weight pre-baby was 130, but when stepping on the scale before delivery I weighed 207.  I am a short woman, and so this weight is very showing on me.  I have taken this medicine about a year previous and lost 10lbs on my own after the medicine, so now this year my doctor said I could try them again since I was taking 3 different anti-depressants that counter acted with the medicine.  So now I'm on it again, but it is no miracle pill.  I have been on it a week and lost 10lbs yes, but I work out every single day. It is there to help you control portions and teach your body to not overeat. Most women when getting off this medication go back to their original weight."


"I have to take the 14 day course every 2-3 months as symptoms do return- but it is worth it! I get 100% relief within 48 hours after I start a course."


"I was on Lutera for about a year in 2011 and I wound up in the hospital because of crippling pain near my right ovary, they could not figure out what the problem was. I stopped taking the birth control and the pain was bearable. However, since then every time I have my period the pain comes back and it's always in the same spot. The pain is still terrible normally when i have the pain I can't walk or even shift my weight around. The doctors now think the birth control caused permanent damage to my right ovary be very cautious"


"Been using Balsalazide 3x3 for 9 years or so with occasional flareups I could resolve with slight overdosing.  Could not resolve present flare up.  After a month of 4 bowel motions a day, blood, diarrhea, doc started me on Uceris. Next day change to 1 bowel motion, no blood, slight diarrhea.  Now 1 wk later, pretty normal 1 bowel motion per day, with occasional nausea in abdomen. I think pretty good for a week.  But the price is outrageous, and even my copay is $75 mo.  Doc insists on giving it to me for 3 mos."


"Holy hell.... The inside of my vagina is twitching with itching!!!!!!! What the hell happened to the ovule?! I've had NO problem with the egg and now this shitty cream? No wonder they give you cooling wipes. It's like it's burning your vagina! This is terrible. I really hope this flushes everything out because your vagina is like the opposite of a toothpaste bottle. Once it's in, you can't take it back. This sucks......"


"Hello  My husband was recently diagnosed with lung cancer, which quickly metastasized to the brain and liver.  He started his first chemotherapy session yesterday.  I was very happy that the hospital included EMEND in his regimen.  I had taken an EMEND pill for a surgery because I always get nauseated after sedation.  This drug is amazing!  Thank you for all the good work you do.  Cancer is such a heartbreaking disease and to eliminate nausea and vomiting from the side effects is truly such a blessing.  Thank you to all the scientists and researchers trying to make a better life for those battling cancer."


"I have diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis with 24-7 all over pain. My lower back pain is very severe and cannot be helped by surgery due to the extent of damage there. I am usually unable to walk due to the pain in my back, hips, knees and leg muscles. I take Ultram 100. My doctor prescribed it starting with 1 at night for 3 days, then 2 for 3 days, then up to 3 per day. I do fine with 2 and received an amazing amount of relief and sleep. I am very sensitive to pain medicine, very hard to take.

I prefer to just take 1 now mostly and also take Ibuprofen during the day as well. It helps excessive pain and headache. "


"I've suffered from insomnia for years, and have tried everything.  I take melatonin, neurontin for RLS, klonopin.  Now I've added Belsomra.  It's not magical, but it's better than the hypnotics:  Ambien, for example, had me awake and doing everything under the sun BUT sleep:  rearranging cabinets, cooking food, eating food, emailing things I didn't remember, etc.  What I like about Belsomra is that it does seem to KEEP me asleep; I don't wake up during the night once I am asleep.  It's definitely not worth the high cost--but I think the ridiculously high cost is because of the ridiculous way that it's packaged!!!!!"


"I used Yasmin for birth control reasons as it was the lowest one available to me at the time that didn't cause breakthrough bleeding. It was great for birth control and my skin is very clear after taking it. The main difference I noticed from other pills is that I would always get my period one day early (on the Sun instead of the Mon). I also had terrible mood swings and angry outburts. My poor kids copped the brunt of my moods! I have been off Yasmin for two weeks now and am back to my calm and happy self, and my sex drive has returned. I am 42."


"My husband has been using drugs for so many years that I have lost track. First it was pills, any kind that he could get. Then it was heroin, crack, and cocaine till I gave up on him (it was a nightmare). Then he went back to pills. It seemed like it was never going to end. He began to not want to go anywhere but work. He would lay around the house all day, in a deep depression. He tried to quit almost every other day when he was down and out. I hated it. I then talked him into researching SUBOXONE, we did it together. The following week he went to a very nice doctor who understood about his problem.  It has only been a week that he has been on Suboxone but WHAT A DIFFERENCE. He is like a new man.  He takes 2 daily and is more normal."


"This worked great for my back pain and is non-narcotic so I don't feel woozy."


"Depression, and I would not be surprised to be told I have ADD. ADD was something never thought of in my day. Anyway Wellbutrin XL 300 in one month has moved me out of a 3 year funk of sleeping all day if I could. Getting nothing done and things piling up, getting up to go all day and living off of 6, 7, 8 hours of sleep in a day, reduced eating in a good way and I could go on about any number of positives.
Funny how I could be this lucky to find the drug that works for me. An inhibitor of dopamine re-uptake rather than ever being involved with taking various SSRIs as a first line of attack. So far I have nothing negative to say about this medicine except I wish I found this earlier for me."
