"Helps ease the kidney stone pain and relaxes you as the kidney stone passes out."


"I have breakouts on my nose, I used to dance and thought it would be cute to bend down, while on stage and brush there nose with mine. That turned out not so good, I wish I wasn't so nieve. I've been living with them for about 6 years and when they came out with sitavig, that's really good. I only breakout about every 2 years, when stressed or if it's really hot."


"Been taking Movantik 25mg for a year due to opioids.  After taking it, within 10 minutes the gas starts. I have an abdominal hernia and get a painful fist size knot that I have to push on to get it moving.  This drug is definitely not a sure thing.  I still have to take flax oil capsules or stool softeners and sometimes even that doesn't help.  I do not go without having a movement for more than two days and then I start with the suppositories and magnesium citrate.  Before I got Rx for this drug I had constipation so bad I went to ER twice and that was the WORST enema experience.  I thought I was going to die from my pain and the sweating and chills and trying to push.  Eating apples daily helps when I can afford them!"


"I was prescribed Cymbalta for fibromyalgia.  Not only did it not work for the fibromyalgia, but it restarted the hot flashes that had been under control!  In doing research on fibromyalgia, I discovered that this drug has been reported to worsen hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms in women with fibromyalgia.  If it works for you, many blessings!"


"Works well on inflammation, however I get a shortness of breath when I go for a run (this might not be related)."


"I've been on belviq now for 46 days. My weight was 168 now I'm down to 154. My side effects are headaches(some days)and at times my upper body gets real hot! I gained weight from hypothyroidism. My normal weight is 142-145. I only take one pill a day. And it really crushes my appetite. But I do eat clean and it don't take much to get me full. I'm satisfied with the pill. It's the only thing that helped me to get my weight back under control. It is very difficult to lose weight when u have thyroid problems"


"I’m writing this review to put your mind at ease . I had unprotected sex on August 27th. It was my first time.Though he did not come inside me, I was worried about pre-cum. I didn’t take the pill until about 27 hours . About a week later I got a “period “, which what I read was mainly due to the pill. I was terrified that I was pregnant and showing symptoms . Google really messes you up. Reviews were worst. I took 2 pregnancy tests and both were negative . Then I was scared because I missed my period . My period is irregular, so it’s even more terrifying. I didn’t get my period till October 12th. So I missed a period.I prayed every day, since taking it . Pray and relax ! I for sure learned my lesson. God listens. Don’t stress, it delays it."


"By the time I got my third shot, all hell broke. I've been bleeding non-stop, was given Orsythia to stop the bleeding and that didn't work. After having a blissful time on the shot, now my body is rejecting it I guess. I won't be taking a fourth shot."


"I have been taking 200 mg of Seroquel now for about 4 years for schizoaffective disorder.  I love this medicine, especially after trying Abilify and Risperdal, which made me lethargic and apathetic towards everything.  It has also helped with my borderline personality and generalized anxiety disorders."


"I have absolutely loved the Mirena the last 4 years. I did not realize that the other issues I had could be contributed by the Mirena.  My scalp, my face, and my neck has broke out very badly.  The acne is like cysts in some areas.  They last for 6 months   and are very hard.  I have gained 65 lbs while working out 1 1/2 hrs a day by running 10 miles, gym time, or swimming laps. I eat healthy and stay away from junk food.  I recently started experiencing excessive  sweating.  Started with breasts sweating, then feet even wearing flip-flops, and now pouring from my forehead.  I love not having periods and am terrified of going back to bad cramps, but I believe that switching my method of birth control is the best thing I can do."


"positive no side effects"


"This is the only cough medicine that is worth your $$. It really works. I especially like the lozenges when I am working. I've never had any stomach upset either and I have a pretty sensitive one."


"I have realized after my child started taking Vyvanse, her grades improved dramatically! She is able to concentrate and pay attention to what is going on instead of being confused. This medication has been working great for her and we have not had to up the dosage. It was very scary at first, however, it turned out to be a great decision."


"I had a miscarriage!! Don't ever take this drug! This is an abortion pill!"


"I was taking  3- 25mg in the morning and 3 in the afternoon for about a year , after I started taking the pills I started to lose weight. In a year I went from 172 to 152lbs and I started to have problems remembering things, I stop talking them and now the doctor is switching me to botox and I'm thinking about it.
but the pills did worked, I was getting less headaches"


"I had been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and have been treated with medicines that at that time were the best. Venlafaxine being the latest. However the effects were decreasing over time. 12 years and has so many side effects. Now I am on Brintellix 20mg daily...wow there is life. My mood is elevated, my outlook and self esteem and confidence has returned to normal. My energy level has skyrocketed.  My sleep is more restful. Negative thoughts are diminished. Day to day living is now controllable. Clear thought process not drugged feeling. A very content person. Focus on the enabling versus the negativity. Started on 10mg daily increased to 20mg after 3 weeks and a slow reduction in my venlafaxine.  One side effect is nausea I noted but a dry snack helps"


"Giving it two stars because it does serve its purpose- birth control.  But it's so not worth the side effects I had for the first week after putting it in place. I had horrifying dreams on the 3rd night and woke up in terror. I was mostly depressed and hated people around me. I was easily irritated by small things. I was negative and wanted to be alone. After noticing the change in my mood I took it out five days later. Just in half a day, I have noticeable improvement in my mood. I wanted to be around my friends again. I'm happier. I wouldn't recommend this form of birth control to any of my friend."


"Best product on the market, period."


"Naltrexone is awesome! I have been through hospitalizations, AA and rehab. Naltrexone took away 90% of my urges/craving for alcohol. My doctor also put me on Campral and now I am 100% free of urges/cravings. The only thing I don't like is that I can't ejaculate during sex. My doctor said that will go away. Your insurance will cover these meds as long as your doctor puts in a pre-authorization. I got control of my life back because of these medicines."


"Rituxan has completely changed my life for the better.  I was in a clinical trial and   tried several other medications with some success but my symptoms eventually returned.  After four sessions of Rituxan over a two year period I stopped seeing my RA doctor because I had no symptoms.  I am now going into my 4th year without pain.  I am playing softball, tennis and golf without any pain.   I highly recommend this drug to anyone dealing with RA."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Had a sigmoidoscopy the other week, first time, and got given Moviprep by the hospital to take in advance. Only had to take 1L and I could get up at 6am to take for a 13:30 appointment. Found it incredibly hard to drink, THAT TASTE!! Ugh! As if those horrible backless hospital shorts and the procedure done wasn't bad enough.
You can imagine my horror when I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis (boo, but at least the last time was now definitely worth it) and the Doc said he wanted to send me for a Colonoscopy. Staring 2L in the face this afternoon, and already I have the shakes! First pint glass in, and it's definitely better to just get two straws. Started working within ten minutes."


"I started this medication almost 6 weeks ago.  I wanted to post my experience since I have relied on others to help me during this tough time.  At 4.5 weeks I started to notice a 'lift'.  Since then almost every day has been good (clear, no more racing heart, calmer, happier, less ruminating)...I seem to have minor set backs in the evening and weekends ---probably because I have more time to think.  Overall I am seeing improvement and hope to continue to get better.

My anxiety was sudden due to stress at work, son going off to college, etc.  The anxiety followed the stress with numb in hands, heartburn, racing heart.  I thought I had MS but it was ruled out with brain MRI.  The symptoms continued until I was diagnosed with GAD."


"I'm 24 years old and started to have seizures about 2 1/2 years ago.  I had problems at first accepting that I was an epileptic and waited until i had my 5th seizure(grand mal) before I would let the doctor put me on medication. I started on 300mg of phenytoin a day and went up to 500mg a day. First it was too little and then it was too much and really hurting my liver. Now I'm on 400-500mg a day alternating, which can be a pain in the butt trying to keep track of what dose I need. But since I started alternating I haven't had a seizure. It does work!"


"This is my 3rd time taking this medicine. First 2 times my shin bones hurt bad for 2 weeks this time my left thumb and palm so far hurts badly but this medicine does work for what ailes me. I just hope my shin bones don't hurt so bad this time. By the way my prescription is 5 pills of 750mg daily for 5 days."


"My sinuses get extremely bad almost every night. As soon as I take a Sudafed, about 20 minutes later I'm about 95% cleared up and able to breathe."


"So far I would recommend taking this at night.  Instead of having insomnia it made me very sleepy."


"I am 73 years old and have been on Zoloft (generic version) since 1990 when I began seeing a Rheumatologist for Rheumatic Fever. My depression was caused by childhood sexual abuse which my mind had locked away until this time of illness. I was also very angry and contemplated suicide. I could not share my story because of shame and the stigma. She saw I was sad and depressed and wrote a script for Zoloft which I have been on it ever since.  Started with 50mgs and now taking 100mgs. She saved my life and my sanity. I did go to counselling years later and was able to verbalize my feelings and forgive. I am  thankful for having Rheumatic Fever which led me to this sweet doctor. No side effects that I know of."


"I had my Mirena put in 10 years ago. The first one I had in 2003 then in 2008 and the third one this year 2013 April. I've been very satisfied with this birth control. I love it."


"I was prescribed this for my acne along with several other creams and within a month my mild acne problem was cleared up, but if I stopped taking the pills completely I would break out so instead I slowly went off the medicines and now I'm taking one every other day and have clear skin. This medicine works wonders."


"Worked for mood stabilization but side effects were not acceptable. There were vivid and sometimes nightmares, also weight gain."


"My doctor prescribed this drug a year ago because of a nasty sinus infection. After 4 days of 500 mg/1 time day, I developed joint pain everywhere - knees, elbows, ankles, wrists, could hardly walk up and down stairs. I stopped taking the medication, but continued to notice weakness in my ankles. Four months later I developed debilitating PTTD, which is a failure of the tendon that holds your foot correctly. I am now in an expensive and uncomfortable ankle brace and facing surgery. I wish I'd never taken this drug."


"This medication helps me stay focused at work. I used to have problems reading long groups on letters an numbers for verification. Using Adderall XR has cured this problem with no side effects."


"I have suffered from back problems for almost 20 years and more recently, neck problems, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia.  In that time, I have taken about every pain medication known to man, just to have them either work slightly or not work at all.  Nucynta is my God send. I am on 50 mg three times per day, although I try to keep it to one per day when my pain is at its worst so as not to form an addiction.  The side effects aren't bad to me, comparatively speaking.  I do get tired shortly after taking it, but then my pain disappears and I have energy to do things that need to be done.  I have some itching as well, but I can handle some itching and drowsiness if it means I have some pain-free time every day!  SO grateful."


"Caused weight gain."


"Provigil has been a HUGE help for me. I take nortriptyline for my depression. It works better than anything else I've tried but it makes it impossible for me to get up in the morning. When my alarm goes off at 7am I feel like I'm being tortured. I take half a tablet of Provigil at bedtime (11pm). It doesn't keep me from falling asleep but it does help me wake up alert at 7am. Without it, I'll sleep until at least 11:30am. This may be an off-label use but it makes it possible for me to take my antidepressant AND get to school/work on time."


"I have tried several antidepressants, but nothing seemed to work. However, I started Zoloft about a week ago, and I am officially sold on it. It makes me feel more optimistic about life. I'm enjoying life more minus all of the worrying. I think it must be working because my 7 year old told my 10 year old that "mom's acting weird, she's being really nice","


"First time I made it at room temperature with only water mixed in and it took me an hour to gag down the entire 16oz. Second time around I found the following to be super helpful: 1) Put the suprep in the fridge ahead so it's cold.  2) Use cold minute maid light lemonade instead of water 3) Add a lemonade Crystal light pack to the suprep before adding in the lemonade up to the 16oz mark. 4) Stuff your nose with cotton balls! (Game changer, folks!) 5) Use a straw to get it as far back in your throat as you can 6) Bite a lemon wedge after each sip.  I was able to get it down in 15 minutes tops with no issues.  Taste aside, it did the job!"


Acetaminophen / diphenhydramine / phenylephrine

"I took two doses of this medicine as instructed, and afterwards experienced severe headache, bad stomach cramping and loose stools."


"I have a Anterior labral tear Instant pain relief soon after the first dose (500mg twice daily) use codeine as a breakthrough medication  in case it gets more severe but other than that, highly recommended pain relief as an alternative to opioid medication "


"Good medication, reduced My GMS disorder but now I see the effects of being on this medication. I've been on it for 3 years now and like I said it reduced my grand mal seizures. But I've lost 40lbs. I have trouble. Speaking the complete thought in my mind and I'm always exhausted. Though, I have other issues that affect my sleeping habits, as I am a veteran. Pros and cons so consider them."


"Fantastic experience.  9  months on Seasonique and never had breakthrough bleeding.  Slight appetite increase, but no acne or crazy mood swings. My last 2 birth control pills gave me insane mood swings. My fiance is thrilled with my choice in Seasonique."


"I got this implant in May of 2015, it's now March of 2016. The insertion procedure was very easy and relatively painles . The issues came a week later when I started bleeding. I knew that it would take some getting used to but I never anticipated to bleed 10 months like I did. I went to my doctor almost in tears wanting it to be removed ASAP. Because the adolescent unit was out I'd have to wait until the following week. I was about to give up until they suggested birth control pills to use until then. Only two days and pills AND MY BLEEDING HAS STOPPED. I'm cancelling the removal. Other than the bleeding, its very effective. I've had so much sex while on it and I'm always covered. I have some migraines and gained a few pounds. So worth it."


"Helps tremendously."


"In the past year, I've tried 7 different birth controls. Pills, patches...you name it, I've been on it. I've never had any true issues with any weight gain on BC, but I am very prone to yeast infections. I got them almost every other week. After switching to the ring, I haven't had any and it's been FANTASTIC! I'd definitely recommend this!"


"I have had psoriasis my entire life, the last 6 years, it has been so bad on my feet, walking is a problem. I have been on Otezla for about 3 weeks. Here is what I have experienced; I have had some good results on my feet, but a bit of a trade off. Loss of appetite, nausea occasionally, no headaches at all, and only one day of feeling lethargic and a bit sad. I also get itchy, sometimes my skin crawls especially at night, and yesterday my bones actually ached. It is so random when this comes and goes. I am still on the fence a bit with it. I am hoping these things will go away. I haven't heard anything about long term effects."


"Everyones comments have been extremely helpful for me. I am on day two of Topamax and am starting with 25mg daily at bed time. First side effect I noticed was the change in taste buds. I am a big DR. Pepper drinker and went to drink one yesterday and it tasted horrible. Not too happy about that. Sleep last night was strange. It felt very restless and I woke up a lot and was confused. I feel good this morning however. I am determined to try this medicine for a couple of months. I need a solution for my migraines and it seems this has helped a lot of people. I am only concerned about the weight loss. I am already very little and definitely do not need to lose any weight."


"I am a FT RN working in an infectious disease unit. I am consistently exposed to respiratory viruses during the winter months; meningitis, encephalitis, and abscesses in the summer months; with a little variety thrown in here and there (asthma, pneumonia, kawasakis, septic babies, etc). I recently came down with a nasty RLL PNA and was prescribed this Avelox 400 mg, on day 14 of 20. Thus far, I have noticed tremendous improvement, but I am not 100% quite yet. Yes, the side effects/warnings can be scary, but the only thing I have noticed is fatigue and muscle/tenseness. Benefits always have to outweigh the risk, and I believe this medicine can keep many of us out of hospital bed and on the road to recovery quickly."


"I've had had a yeast infection for about a week so I decided to go to the docter and they prescribed me fluconzole and it automatically helped it worked very well"


"This medication has been wonderful or me. I take it for menstrual cramps, fibromyalgia and CFS symptoms, and headaches. It also is my go-to for my newly diagnosed illness costochondritis (painful chest wall and rib pain), which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Starts working in about 30minutes. I have multiple medical issues and take many medications daily, taking Duexis eliminates the need for a separate PPI (proton pump inhibitor). I highly recommend this medication, especially in the prevention of ulcers if taking NSAIDS will be a part if your daily life !"


"I was put on 50mg of Metoprolol ER after chronic neck pain pushed my blood pressure up to 200/125. The initial side effects were awful. Dizziness, nausea, chest pain, and zombie-like fatigue. I've been on it almost 8 weeks now and thankfully all of the side effects have subsided, but it did take at least 6 weeks for that to happen. Blood pressure consistently runs 125/85 now. As an added bonus, it works wonderfully for migraine prevention. I used to get 2-3 a month but have not had any since starting this medication."


"I took ciprofloxacin 6 years ago and had foot and hand tendonitis within 5 months of taking it, now 6 years later tendons of my feet, legs, hands and arms have hardened and ruptured.  Showing that this chemical does not leave your body once it has entered it!"


"Mirena gave me my life back. Ever since I hit puberty at 11 years old I have had horrible, very heavy, very painful periods . Around 18 I was diagnosed with Endometriosis. I would miss school, work, have to double layer my clothes when i slept it was horrible. I tried every birth control out there including Seasonique, The NuvaRing, Ortho Tri-Cyclen, Depo-Provera,  Loestrin, Lybrel, if you name it I've tried it. Nothing worked. I started having periods that would last for 2-3 weeks. Finally I tried Mirena, having it put in was painful- but bearable. The first 6 weeks I had cramps and spotting. After that nothing. I get a very light 2-3 day period now and then. No cramps. It's amazing and gave me my life back. I'm so thankful for it!"


"Try it and see for yourself!!!"


"Minimal side effects, some tingling in hands and feet, some "topamax moments"...trouble finding words to complete sentences, etc.  Did experience a 30 lb. weight loss, which I didn't mind. But most of all it drastically decreased the migraines!! And if I do have one, it is very managable."


"It is 12:15 am, started the MoviPrep at 7:00pm and within exactly 45 min of drinking it I had extreme results that went on for about 1 1/2 hrs and still having some residual and feel like at this point I am cleaned out.  But have to do the 2nd dosage at 5:00am.  This really works for cleaning you out and pretty fast. Have a lot of rumbling like a train is in my stomach.  Going to try and sleep until 5 when I have to do the 2nd part.  One thing I have to say...it tastes HORRIBLE! To me it tasted salty, lemon but it tasted like you would imagine an industrial cleaning fluid would taste YUCK!"


"Only been taking Abilify for 3 weeks. Seems okay so far but craving sweet things so worried about any weight gain though none so far, also hard to concentrate for too long."


"I started birth control for the 1st time a little over a month ago, and my doctor prescribed Lutera.  So far, it's been a great pill for a 1st-time user.  I was a little moody for the 1st week or 2 that I started taking the pill, but I'm also being treated for depression so I don't know that I can attribute my mood swings to anything in particular.  My mood is definitely back to normal now, either way.  The only lasting symptom I've noticed is a little tenderness/swelling in my breasts, which really doesn't bother me very much.

All-in-all, I recommend Lutera for 1st-time users because I think low dose birth control is a great way to start.  Also, I set my cell phone alarm to remind me to take it each day, and that really helps me remember!"


"I am 22yrs old. When I first started taking pain pills I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Before I knew it I was addicted. I was letting it control me and my decisions and putting it first. I forgot what it felt like to just be normal until a friend told me about Suboxone which saved my life. I am the happiest I've been in a long time. This was a lesson learned. "


"The WORST birth control ever I've had it for almost a year and is scheduled on Monday 07/17/17 to have it taken out it was okay first, but now I have HORRIBLE headaches and sometimes bad chest pains, bad depression, weight gain, and the WORST anxiety , and terrible acne, I wouldn't recommend this birth control to anybody "


"I was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 20, I stopped school and went through many years of chemotherapy. For bone and nerve pain I found methadone to be the best drug for daily use. It does help particularly with nerve pain. However since its long half life and milder symptoms compared to other opiates it was easy for me to develop the drug into a daily routine. 8 years later I am still taking methadone 3x a day everyday... Not so much for pain  but because of the horrible withdrawals (which can last for months)  i experience if I miss a dose. I am now trapped in an addiction I never wanted, before considering methadone for long term use please research methadone addiction. Its considered by many to be one of the hardest drugs to kick."


"I have suffered from crippling anxiety GAD and depression from childhood, I also have a personality disorder..My psychiatrist prescribed pregabalin for me 75mg twice a day, they sat in my cupboard for ages before I finally built up the nerve to take them.. After many years of being tried on just about every drug out there FINALLY a drug that actually helped me!..I now drive again and sometimes leave the house alone and even on occasion brave the supermarket ALONE..After 3 years on the same dose and with its effect starting to wane I am now on 150mg twice a day..And yes I am very tired, vague and spaced out, but this will wear of with time as my body adjusts..And regarding the weight gain, I have lost 5 stone, and have regained some control."


"i have been on lyrica for just over two weeks now.i have pain and pins and needles down my left side.i think it has helped marginally.i have not gained weight or suffered from sleepnesses"


"This helped me so much. I felt like my heart was beating out of my chest!!!!!!!! I went to hospital they gave it to me and it went away. OMG thank you ativan!"


"I have had since September 2014.  I am 40 and have had problems with heavy bleeding, frequent periods, painful cramps, and depression during PMS since age 35.  This has been great for relief of all my symptoms.  Until my doctor mentioned this, I was looking at having a D & C done.  I have had no weight gain, actually lost 5 pounds.  Some spotting in beginning but very light periods now.  No more depression the week before my period.  It was a very positive experience for me."


"I'm 20, 5'5 , and 155 pounds. While taking Errin I finally stopped getting my period and got my appetite back. I was on the combination pill which made me nauseous , tired and in the end I constantly kept spotting and getting my period along with worsened cramps. HOWEVER while taking Errin I have gained two or three pounds so far and my skin is breaking out. I'd like to say on the bright side I don't get a period but.. let's me honest I'd rather be off birth control. I've been on Errin for 1 month and one week. Good luck ladies"


"I was on Nuvaring for 10 years before I gave my body a hormone break. I've been off of it for 4 months and will be going back on it next month because my fiance will be home from deployment and we are not ready for little ones yet. The first time around I loved not having to remember to take a pill everyday and I had no mood swings, and no lack of sex drive, there was only a few times where I could actually feel it during intercourse that was a bit uncomfortable. It is hard to say if I gained any weight because I was on it for so long but when I did go off of it I noticed I dropped a few pounds and had a little more energy. I am curious to see how this next month will pan out and will keep you informed."


"I had TERRIBLE PMS on this pill.  My cramps and back pain were unbearable, even though it didn't last long.  I could have eaten 10000 lbs of chocolate during PMS as well.  I was on my period for about two weeks a month while I took this.  I would start in week 3 and bleed very heavy for 5 days, then light and thick for the next 9 days.  I had to get off.  I did not experience mood swings on it though, that was the good thing...but about the only good thing."


"My doctor and I tried every T4 medication out there, and although I felt better I still wasn't right.  After 2 years he switched me to Cytomel and I immediately knew I had found the solution.  All the hypo symptoms disappeared - constipation, depression, weight gain and exhaustion. My cholesterol dropped to 140... in fact, all my blood work is excellent.  It's very discouraging to know you're doing everything right - diet, exercise, sleep - and not only do your lab numbers not respond, but doctors tend to think you're not telling them the truth.  Finally found a doctor that believed me; finally found the right medication.  Life is good!"


"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 began taking adipex in 7/31/15.  I weighed in at 204.4 at my annual Gyn appt and was disgusted that I had let myself get that heavy.  I hadn't weight that much when I was pregnant with my kids.  I am 5'8".  My goal was to lose 15 pounds by Labor Day.  I was down 17 by that point.  I am now 22.4 pounds down and beginning my last month on it.  I use my fitness pal and try to keep to 1200 calories per day, high in protein.  I generally get in 4-7 miles a day walking and do a 25 minute exercise video 6 days per week.  I am hopeful that I have finally changed my lifestyle.  I needed the jumpstart.  Only side effects early were dry mouth - I drink lots of water.  I plan to cut down to 1/2 pill a day this month.  Love how it's working."


"I absolutely loved this birth control. Was on it for 8 years and would still be on it now, except that when I switched jobs, my new insurance didn't cover it. No weight gain, super clear skin, no mood swings, light periods with no cramping and the convenience of not having to take a pill everyday. Couldn't feel it inside me at all and it never bothered my husband or me during intercourse. Highly recommend."


"I have been on just about every pill/needle contraceptive out there and usually all the side affects take about a year to show up. I was on depo needle for 2 years and LOVED it but my doctor made a point of mentioning every 3 months that I should go off of it. Now thislovely little pill - destroyed my sex drive within the first 3 months, only positive is that I grew a cup size over night. Downfall, gained 23 pounds over 6 months. Constant bloating and took 5 months for my period to regulate. Another bad side affect is I no longer sleep longer than 5 hours a night when I am known for sleeping like a log (and night sweats are so bad I wake up soaking to the point I have to change my clothes and sheets)never had that before in my life."


"I was prescribe Lyrica for a pinched nerve in my elbow after a dislocation. The pain made physical therapy intolerable. With just one dose of 75mg of Lyrica, I could bend my elbow without wincing. Absolutely marvelous. Unfortunately there were 2 side effects that make me stop taking it. First one was that I fell asleep almost immediately after taking it for about 2 hours and my brain felt very foggy after I woke up. Second issue was a slight tightness in the chest and feeling a little out of breath. Not severe, but enough to let me know that I couldn't take it again. Made me sad because it really worked."


"Of all the biologics , Enbrel is my best compromise.

It takes away most of the arthritic symptoms but does not do as well a job on the psoriasis.

I think the pharms concentrate of Blocking the T cell when they should work on the overall underlying issue of inflammation.

If you can control the whole bodies inflammation, then you'd go a LONG way to solve numerous so called diseases."


"I was given this in the hospital after giving birth.  It only dulled the pain.  Still couldn't walk, turn over, etc.  The sleepy side effect was good; it helped me relax."


"I have had hyperhidrosis of my hands, armpits, and feet my entire life. It made many things in my life extremely uncomfortable or impossible to do. (Even simple things... shaking hands, preparing food, wearing grey or any non-dark T-shirts, wearing sandals, the list goes on). I've been using Hypercare for 3 years now and it has literally changed my life. It's affordable and effective. I recommend to anyone suffering from hyperhidrosis."


"After 5 full days on Belviq I can assure you this is going to be a wildly successful product. It has made sticking to a diet of reduced portions and healthier foods EASY. I can now eat half what I used to and feel completely full. It has eliminated my compulsion to snack when watching tv or a movie and the results are already noticeable. I started Belviq weighing 227 and as of this morning I was at 222 (after only 5 days). I'm not starving myself, just eating the amount I should have been eating for the last decade. The only side effects I have noticed thus far is being able to fall asleep faster and having a more upbeat and positive attitude in general."


"This medicine was prescribed to me for bipolar disorder, along with irritability problems, serious anger was becoming a problem. I read these reviews after being prescribed and I can honestly say that I was not one who felt its benefits immediately. This medicine takes 3 to 4 weeks to fully affect you. So far the main thing I have noticed is that I feel more balanced, and have not had an over the top anger explosion. This medicine in combination to my others seems to be helping overall. Everyone's own body is a chemistry set, you just have to try things in combination with others and see if it helps. "


"I'm 25 years old and have had narcolepsy since I was around 10. I've never been on any medication before and have lived my life around constant daytime sleepiness and having to take regular naps. My Dr prescribed me Nuvigil. Day one was the greatest I have ever felt in 15 some odd years! I have energy to do things, can eat without having to sleep afterwards, can stay awake at work. Still randomly after being up for a excessive period of time I get the urge to take a nap and if I do so, I have no issues. Bad side effects are mild headaches, slight tightening of the chest. Bad thing is my insurance only covers a small portion of it and most likely wont be able to afford it."


"Was diagnosed w/hep C 20 years ago through physical for life insurance. I figure that I've had it for at least 40 years w/ no side affects, but Dr. insisted if I didn't treat it I would end up with end stage liver disease. Not a pleasent thought. Viral load is only 650,000, so I am now into day 17.  No side affects so far other than recent feeling of a mild flu like systems that last for very short periods. MUCH better than the interferon I tried for 5 months 20 years ago!"


"Awful!! Took way to long to even "start" to feel better. It seemed to bring on aches and pains or made me feel worse. Dr. Prescribed it for me 3 times only because I forgot to tell him I don't want it anymore after the 3rd time.  I do NOT use it anymore and never will again.This was bad!"


"I have finally stopped smoking! I continued to smoke well into 6 weeks on it but was able to cut down to 5 a day instead of 1-2 packs a day before I quit all the way. One side effect I haven't seen very often is illness. I have had two sinus infections a horrible cold and bronchitis all within a few months and come to find out a little known Chantix side effect is immune suppressant. I am ok with this as being sick also helped me finally kick the habit. Its hard to smoke when you can hardly breath but I was starting to think something was seriously wrong with me as I hardly ever got sick until I researched the side effects a little more."


"I had to stop taking this after 7 months as my jaw became painful and my mouth became exceedingly dry.  It took about 6 weeks for me to get back to normal."


"I suffered such heavy periods, used to soak through overnight/maternity pads within minutes on a bad day, so you can imagine how life limiting it was.  I was 48yo, had 3 kids. My gyno suggested a marina, thinking it would last 5 years so lasting me through until menopause. I was put under whilst it was inserted. My periods have since been irregular, spotty, unannounced but a lot lighter. To the point I'd wear either a panty liner or small pad. But it did change my life in that I could finally do things! Bad points: my hair has thinned, I now suffer from depression and anxiety, am constantly bloated, can't lose weight.  But I thought it to be worth it as I could do things if I could find the energy that is.  Today it changed."


"I was placed on Sinemet CR (1 x 4 times daily) as a result of Sinemet "wearing off".  I am a carer for my wife who is extremely disabled, thus I needed a medication which allowed me to still manage her needs whilst controlling my Parkinson's.  CR has worked and although I have  episodes of trembling as I get nearer the end of an 6 hour  medication cycle I am very happy with it as I am  able to tend to my wife's medical needs  and carry out cooking duties as required."


"Husband was diagnosed with influenza B (swab) but had had symptoms too long to get Tamiflu. However, when a coworker and I talked, she was surprised to find that the clinic had not prescribed it to me as I have a pre-existing lung condition. Hubby was diagnosed Thursday night; I got Tamiflu Rx by phone on Friday. Was to use one a day for 10 days as prophylaxis; two a day if I showed symptoms. By Friday night, had congestion, fever etc. Had headache and slight fever for two days; now on fifth day, the only thing I'm battling is cough/chest congestion and fatigue. Convinced that Tamiflu helped immensely, particularly as husband's symptoms were far worse than what I ever endured."


"Gabapentin is the best drug I've tried in the last 10 years after being diagnosed with fibromyalgia.  I have taken Amitriptyline, Cymbalta and Savella. These drugs have made me tired, depressed and even gave me heart palpitations.  I take 1500mg at bedtime along with 100 mg trazodone. When I wake up, I'm alert, have energy and I'm excited about starting my day.  Something that I haven't felt in years.  No side affects so far.  When I first started Gabapentin, I got violently sick...threw up, but after my body got used to it, it's WONDERFUL."


"I started taking this on the Sunday when my period started as directed. A few hours after taking the pill my whole body started tingling and I was experiencing insomnia. That night I laid still and try to ignore the tingling but it would build up and one small movement of my foot could make my entire body spasm. I had never felt this before in my life until I started taking Estarylla. I only took the pill twice and decided that I was done with not being able to sleep and constantly feeling tingly. Even after I stopped taking the pill my body was so affected by the pill that it is taking me a few days to finally flush it out of my system. Don't take Estarylla if you have the option of another birth control!!"


"This stuff is amazing when you are really sick. A severe cough was making my head and neck hurt so bad. After about 20 minutes of taking Tussionex, my cough was much improved, and my neck/headache almost non-existent. I was prescribed this after Codeine wasn't helping at all. Will definitely take it again if needed."


"I have only been on ritalin for a couple days now and the results are great. My concentration and focus has improved, I can get more things done and I feel more motivated and self assured. My social life is better and can keep a conversation going. The downsides for me where fast heart rate which made me feel anxious, a bad headache when I first took it and a decreased in appetite. Overall this is working for me so far and I would say to not abuse this drug, combine it with alcohol or anything else and to eat well before taking medicine. hope this helps"


"I'm 26 and have been taking this medication for about 9 months. The first few weeks it made me shaky and thirsty. It immediately got rid of my sweet tooth, and it's true food doesn't quite taste as good with it, but I'm happier with that being the case. Before I took the medication I had been severely depressed for nearly 15 years and couldn't bring myself to take antidepressants. I finally hit an incredibly stressful period in my life last year that made me feel completely hopeless every minute of every day. Wellbutrin does not make me "happy" and "laughing like a kid" as some other users say, but it does make me feel like I am back to the same level that most people are on, kind of right in the middle, which is 100 times better than where I was."


"Wow, what a roller coaster ride! Started on 25mg, no effect, then 50, 200 finally 400. It did stop the cluster headaches, but Extreme confusion, serious loss of hearing, forgetfulness, couldn't remember my phone number! My wife wouldn't let me drive at 400mg, I was dangerous, parking became very difficult, once I had to get out of the car and let her park. Frustrating and humiliating. In the end, I was down to 50mg a day, Doc said that wasn't causing any side effects at that low dose. WRONG! When I finally stopped, it took a couple of weeks to become me again. I was shocked at the difference it made being off of it. Some of my hearing came back thankfully. I did lose 30 pounds that did not come back."


"Switched to Effexor XR after having severe anxiety side effects with Prozac 20mg. With Prozac initial side effects, I didn't sleep for days, constant, ceaseless agitation and restlessness, ended up in ER for psych evaluation which has never happened to me before. Doctor switched me to Effexor XR 37.5 mg and on the second day I noticed that after taking the pill in the morning, by the afternoon I was much calmer, almost drowsy, which was an enormous relief after two weeks of severe anxiety. After two weeks on Effexor XR I'm doing much better; much less anxiety and worry. The PM drowsiness has gone too. I hope to stay on the low dose."


"I was in the darkest place I had ever been before taking Zoloft. I was on Prozac prior, and I would have 3 to 4 panic attacks a day. I would go to to class and need to excuse myself so I could scream and cry about how I would lose everything if I failed out of university, my family, my fraternity brothers, my reputation etc. I am so grateful my GP prescribed this to me. The first few days, all I wanted to do was sleep. I took about 1 week to get any sort of reaction. I was finally able to focus on school and relax/ play video games. I haven't had a single panic attack since starting this medication, and I couldn't be happier! My friends and family all noticed the difference too!"


"This med is a godsend, I only wish I was diagnosed earlier in life, so I wouldn't have lost so many years to anxiety and panic attacks!"


"This medicine worked great for many years however, after 6 years I had to get a new medications."


"This worked in the way that it got me back on track and made me feel like my old bubbly self. My social skills improved because I love talking to people now. I'm generally happier. Low days are few and far between. Confidence improved and my obsessive thoughts almost ceased completely. Did not experience weight gain. No real side effects I report. This medication helps to get your mind sorted and the rest is up to you to work on yourself."


"I usually take Exedrine migraine for my migraines this time it failed. My migraine lasted approx a day and a half looking desperately throughout my medicine cabinet I came across Cafergot which clearly I took at some point it relieved me a whole lot within I'd say about an hour very grateful for the medicine. Still have a slight throbbing pain at the back of my right eye but it has significantly reduced the pain."


"Since 2002, when I had a terrible car accident....Durango hit my Civic, while I was 1st at a stoplight, (stopped), at 50 mph. Been thru 3 cervical fusions from the best docs in the USA, 2nd surgery was a failed fusion. Third surgery in 2013, I now have 7 levels fused, from C2-T1, and a recent lumbar fusion from L3-L5. I am bionic, except for the agonizing pain I've endured for YEARS!
Finally on disability, both b/c of spine, severe poly-neuropathy, and severe fibro all over. Nucynta is a HUGE blessing! No foggy head and dwindling down on Norco intake! I feel ALIVE! 200 mg ER x 2/day and down to 4 Norcos for breakthru. It IS A GOD SEND! I can once again be productive, happy and damn nearly pain free. I am blessed! No, it doesnt give you a hi"


"This med works great for congestion associated with a cold. As someone else stated... It does give you some really strange dreams though!"


"This medicine was the 1st thing in YEARS that made me feel like myself again. It started working within a few days. The panic attacks subsided almost immediately and the depression lifted. The side effects I experienced (although annoying) were nothing compared to the benefits it gave me. The 1st 2 weeks I was nauseous and tired, felt out of it but my head was clearer and thoughts focused after that. I did lose like 20 pounds, it stopped my emotional eating. The worst part was the night sweats I had for about 2 months or so. I was on it for about 5 months but had to wean off due to lack of insurance. Coming off was terrible though... total withdrawal, brain zaps, confusion etc. I'll get back on it as soon as I can because I know it did wonders."


"I had a horrible experience with this pill. I've never had trouble with my weight, but I gained 20lbs once I started taking this. Terrible, uncontrollable acne. Would always have breakthrough bleeding. Ruined my sex drive. My breasts did increase from a C to a D though."


"I tried this birth control pill when generess fe stopped their coupon program that allowed to pay $25/mo. Still pricey compared to the many options available for $10 or less, but I loved generess fe so it was totally worth it. Anyway, the price went up to $40/mo. without the coupon, so I decided to try something else.

My doc recommended Lutera and my insurance covered it completely. Within a month of taking the pill, I turned into a complete nightmare to be around. I didn't gain weight or breakout as some other reviews noted, but was always irritable and never wanted to be around anyone. My poor fiance was probably scared to death of me; everything he did was wrong, and I made sure to let him know. I switched back to generess after 2 mos."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"After all the horror stories I've heard about colonoscopy preps, I was hesitant to even think about the process. Having said that, PrepOPik was the easiest part of the entire procedure. No gagging on gallons of yuck, no cramping, no nausea ... nothing unpleasant other than the induced diarrhea. I'd recommend this prep in a heartbeat!"


"I was constantly getting sick or an infection from it, leading to increased number of relapses. It gave me cystic acne from my bellybutton to my knees, a lot of nausea, and I suspect it affected my lung function, but they quit testing that side effect. I also mentally did not feel like myself somehow. I felt so much better and like myself again after coming off of it."


"I started this medication 3 days ago and I never get side effects for medication ever.  This medication messed me up. From the first day I started getting headaches, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting multiple times a day, I completely loss my appetite and the weird side effect I got is hiccups. I literally get hiccups 8-10 times a day. I'm stopping this medication cause it's not worth feeling like poop all day."


"It worked great in the beginning, but within a few months lost its effectiveness, and I needed more and more to get the same effect. I also felt like I was addicted to it. It was the first thing I went for in the morning."


"I've been taking fluoxetine (Sarafem) for PMDD for about 8 years now.  I just recently was upped from 10 to 20 mg after symptoms of PMDD started to come back.  That jump in dosage was enough to get me back on track and feeling better. I recommend this drug for sufferers of PMDD."


"Great stuff. Like any ADD med, if you have underlying depression or anxiety, I can see how this could exacerbate it. Caffeine used to make me super depressed. Take care of your depression before starting a stimulant.

Anyways, this stuff is great. Vyvanse would make me super edgy and basically feel like ripping the world's juggler out with my bare hands. This stuff feels like that peak 5 minutes of coffee where you're like 'damn I wish this could last all day!'

I sleep way better, I have a ton more energy. Things done bother me as much as they used to so I can focus on my work more

However, you should really work out to burn it off otherwise you could get a little aggressive. I know that I really don't put up with any shit while I'm on it"


"I must admit after reading all the negative reviews, I was very nervous to start this pill. I switched from Loestrin 24 FE a couple of days ago because I randomly started to have a lot of spotting, Generess was the next pill my Gyno recommended. I'm glad to say SO FAR SO GOOD. I've had no problems! So many women complained of headaches, severe nausea, and increased appetite yet I have experienced NONE. What a relief! Just goes to show these pills really do affect everyone very differently! I've also noticed that I have actually been in a better mood and had an increased sex drive, (which is good for me because LoEstrin decreased it). Don't be scared to give it a try!"


"I have been on Enbrel for 7 years and I have to tell you it is awesome.  I am able to do things that I never thought possible again.  I have had no side effects and I only have to take a shot every 3-4 weeks to have it be effective.  I will keep my fingers crossed that none of those side effects show up."


"I'm 80 years old with chronic back pain.
I've been taking 5/335 Vicodin for 6 months.
It's been great.
I really recommend it.
It has made my life so much better. I'm not worried about addiction at my age."


"After suffering with daily migraines for almost every single day of every month for over two years I was finally approved for botox injections.  I received 31 total injections, which did not hurt with the exception of a pinching during a few of them.  After 3 weeks I was still suffering to the same degree and now, 8 weeks later there is zero improvement.  I am glad it has helped many, but for me there is no relief.  I also had a cortisone injection in my C5 and C6 for degenerative disease and still no relief."


"This was my first birth control. There were some good things, it cleared my face up after about 2 months and made my horrible periods light. Usually I would have to stay home when my period would start because the pain would be unbearable. When taking Loestrin I wouldn't even have to take an Advil. I had to get off this medication though because it killed my sex drive which is not good because I'm a newlywed. Also I gained about 10lbs on it. I would work out and cut my eating in half and could not shed the extra weight. I'm about 121 now and when I started I Was 109. Another thing I hated was it made me really emotional! I could cry on command. My Doctor switched me to Lo Ovral will see how that goes."


"I just had the IUD Skyla inserted yesterday. I was very afraid from reading all the reviews. Honestly it was simple and fast. Yes there was a tiny bit of cramping which lasted about 8 seconds and my Dr warned me right before it was to happen. I had no cramping or pain after a little bit of spotting that evening and that was it. Best decision I made. I'm very happy!!"


"Been on reclipsen birth control since April. Was switched from desogen. Since I've been on reclipsen I've been spotting in between periods, which in turn has ruined all of my underwear. But just yesterday, after ending my period a week and a half ago, I started my period again. Not just spotting. Heavy, painful period. I've been taking the pills everyday at the same time like I'm supposed to since my period ended. Only a week and a half and I have a second period in one month. I think not. Went to my doctor and switched to something different today."


"Had it since March of 14 after having my son.. slowly but surely made me miserable. Didn't have a period the whole time. But my super bitchy mood swings, low sex drive, acne, back aches and weight gain made this birth control NOT worth it. However it does work great for preventing pregnancy. .. because you are too moody for sex!."


"So far so good - had to lower dosage to 5mg since I did get some pain in my feet and tingling in the hands. I've tried Lipitor, Vytorin and Zocor. All gave me a problem with muscle pain, some in a few months others after a year or more.  "


"This has been a life changer for me. I guess I never realized how depressed I actually was until I started on Zoloft. I'd been fighting it for years, forcing myself to get up and get by each day, but getting worse and worse (avoiding people, having problems talking, having horrible insomnia).

Within a week of being on Zoloft I noticed a major difference. I actually feel optimistic about life for the first time in as long as I can remember. My relationships with my wife, family, friends, and coworkers have all improved dramatically. In short, I'm no longer depressed.

I had some side effects over the first few days (restless legs, night sweats, a zonked out 'zombie' feeling) but they passed quickly."


"I really want parents to take a good look at what they may be about to give their children before they do so. If dopamine deficient; Vyvanse will initially appear to be amazing. Until a "tolerance" is built up when it will leave a person feeling as low/moody and agitated as they ever have. Recent studies indicate that mood disorders may mask themselves as ADD/ADHD. If you or your child is experiencing any of the major or severe emotional side effects of this or other stimulants; please consider that it could be mood disorders brought on by a dopamine deficiency. This is what happened to me and because I was aware of the symptoms of dependency and mood disorder, I recognized it immediately."


"My Dr wanted to change my prescription of ambien CR. And put me on belsomra. Didn't sleep for more than 10 minutes at a time, then couldn't tell if I was asleep or awake.  Probably the worst nights sleep I've ever not had.  On top of this, I also suffer from depression. If you do, DON'T take this drug. The next day all my work colleagues kept asking me why I was so sad.  I know you are supposed to take it for a few days.  I can't take that risk.  I'll just buy ambien if I have to.  I've been taking it for 10 plus years and have never had any side effects  just good night's sleep.  I can't believe how depressed I'm still feeling. "


"I took arimidex for five months after a mastectomy. The first few months I had very little problems apart from a severe farty bottom and abdominal pain.

Then it hit me that awful debilitating pain so many people talk about. I couldnt close my hands in the morning and when I got out of bed I could barely walk my legs were so stiff. I tried physio, dry needling, glucosamine, tumeric and various rubs to no avail. I developed huge knotty muscle lumps on my legs and tummy. My oncologist advised me to have a short break and I noticed differences almost straight away. I could actually walk again and after two weeks everything settled. I have just started tamoxifen and I am crossing my fingers that all goes well. I really want the insurance."


"Works well for constipation due to Venlafaxine ER. I take Miralax every night at bedtime in hot tea, after typical day of drinking 2L  water, eating an extremely high-fiber diet (veg except for fish, exclusively whole grains, cook with extra-virgin olive oil), and some walking, along with lots of tea both green and black. The Miralax helps, but still only 1 movement per day, versus 3  prior to medication. When I double the Miralax, THEN things start to approach pre-medication regularity."


"I am so glad I was prescribed Lamitcal two months ago after struggling with bipolar disorder for the majority of my life. I had been getting progressively worse over the years with manic  cycling frequently to the point I couldn't function. I was very skeptical numerous medications over the years. I thought nothing would help and within three weeks my life completely turned around.  The constant edge is gone, I'm calm, thinking clearing and I feel in control. I am so grateful this works for me, hope it works for you."


"Female, over 70.  Have had TN since 2007.  Had MVD in 2013.  Pain free for a little over 3 yrs.  Episodes have returned big time.  Back on Oxcarbazapene, but not totally effective.  Prior to MVD, I tried upping the dosage from 300 twice a day to 300 three times per day which caused false gall bladder symptoms and depletion of sodium.  I am having some blurred vision at times and nausea.  If I don't take the medication on time, the shooting, screaming, electric pains hit me with full force.    I still have pains throughout the day, but can deal with those.  I live in fear that the bigger pains are going to hit me any minute.  I think the Oxcarbazapene is effective with fewer side effects, from the information I've read."


"Skyla killed My  wife"


"I was prescribed Lexapro 10mg daily for severe depression when I was 22.  It blew me away by how well this little pill could make me feel.  Lexapro took care of my mental stress, but realized that I started getting side effects, which were leg cramps at night, night sweats, irritated stomach off and on, so I stopped taking it for 3 months, then all hell broke loose.  I had a panic attack while driving, and almost wrecked, was very moody with everyone, didn't want to talk to people, got overly emotional for no reason, so I made an appointment with my PCP, and was put on Effexor.  I feel the best I ever have, and don't have any side effects.  If I forget to take a dose, I become irritable, emotional, and very fatigued, so then I just take it."


"Viagra works great.  Take between 50 and 100MG depending on the night's activites.  Most of the time I wake up the next morning with another stiff one.  Two for the price of one.  I'm 64 and the $50 price tag is too high anymore.  Doc just prescribed the 20mg generics.  I think taking 2 or 3 of them will work the same."


"Been taking it for more than 2 years. Keeps hot flashes away, and also psychic break downs and panic attacks.  Great medicine. "


"Be sure to do your own research on withdrawal symptoms and difficulties BEFORE going on this drug. Although it may work well, if you ever want to get off of it (i.e. for pregnancy), then the withdrawal can be hard."


"I got the skyla about 4 months ago and I absolutely love it! I read some reviews about how painful the insertation would be, so I prepared by taking a 300 mg ibuprofen. It was totally ok! It maybe hurts for 5 seconds, but I can not even call it that painful. It is totally worth it and don't get too scared by reading all the reviews!

My periods are gone! The first two weeks I had some spotting but after that totally nothing. First 2 weeks some cramps as well. I would totally recommend the Skyla! I feel so much better by having less hormones in my body. I didn't get side effects. My skin is as good as before and I did not gain weight.

I am so happy with the skyla iud!"


"I've been taking Ambien (10mg) off and on for years. It tends to stop working if I start taking it too often, so I have to take breaks from it periodically. That's the only negative thing I have to say about it. When it works, it works perfectly and I've experienced no side effects."


"Have recently been suffering from panic attacks due to financial worries, and a couple of days ago had one that gave me the serious shakes and made it impossible to function (just getting letters from the tax office can cause a panic attack at the moment). I went to a doctor, who gave me a choice of medication , full course of SSRI's (but they can take up to 6 weeks to kick in completely), daily tranquilizers, these on minimum dose as required combined with SSRI's, or just minimum dose as required (with possible review to adding SSRI's later). As someone who doesn't like to be dependent on any drug I've chosen the latter, and it seems to help significantly."


"I was on loestrin fe, to minastrin fe, now to junel 1/20 since that's all my insurance would cover. I have been on it a week and a half. This is possibly the worst birth control ever. I have been on birth control for 5 years, and not ONCE have I ever experienced this. I am moody, anxious, depressed, exhausted, mild headaches, nauseous. I have no clue who I am on this and it's only been a week and a half. I'd hate to see long term effects. Coming off of it immediately"


"I've been taking it for 4 months, I take it at night around 10 and to be honest the only thing that bothers me is my boobs are sore and hurt all month long but I mean I can deal with it. Also it didn't help with my period cramps they are still very painful. but no acne or nauseous feelings"


"I absolutely love Addreall. It helps me to complete my tasks and I have no problem skipping it when I don't have any projects or paper work to do. I don't ever think about it when I skip it.
I believe it is a very great medicine for someone who is having a difficulty to focus on one task. Adderall has a bad reputation only because people abuse it. If you overeat, overdo or overtake anything - it will cause harm to your body. So it's not a surprise some people are getting addicted to Adderall. You have to UNDERSTAND why do you need it and why are you taking it. If you don't abuse it, if you take prescribed amount per day and if you skip it on weekends or whenever, you will be perfectly fine and it will serve you well."


"I have been on this for almost two years now. Remind you I'm 18 now but I hate this birth control! Everyone's body is different but has anyone else had abdominal pain?!!! My boyfriend and I can barely get through sex because I have such bad pain! It's not even cramping which is what scares me. What also scares me is that my period are completely gone. GONE! It may seem like a pro for some but when I miss 3 months and only get my period for 2 days and it's light and looks as if I am spotting... That worries me. I even took a pregnancy test. Multiple actually just to check. I would not recommend. I haven't had problems with skin or weight gain. Actually I have lost weight. But the abdominal pain and cramping. Not worth it."


"Hi All,

I have never had a regular period since I was 13 .Probably only got my period twice a year since I was 13 and when it eventually came it was really bad.

Got married in 2010 and started trying for a baby. Got pregnant in Jan of 2011 even without having regular periods but unfortunately I miscarried.

Was only diagnosed in late 2012 with PCOS and  went onto Glucophage in august 2011.
With the help my wonderful doc I conceived in November of the same year and delivered a health baby boy in August of 2012.

Glucophage was really helpful to me and I would really ask all you ladies to keep the faith and stay on even if it makes you sick for a while."


"This new anti-viral, used exclusively with Pegalated Interferon is a God-send for people with genome 2 HCV. My wife got the virus in a blood transfusion back in the late 80's or early 90's.  She went through the old interferon therapy without (ribavirin) and it is back.  I contracted the virus from her, had little hope, but I have been RNA negative in all blood test since the 2nd month of treatment.  With the help of support groups, I've been able to manage most of the mean side effects.  The trade-off is very much worth it."


"I began taking ortho primarily to help regulate my periods, which are both very irregular and heavy. I typically don't have very severe cramps, so I can't comment on that. However, about a month into taking this, I started experiencing extreme nausea and about weekly vomiting. At the time, I was dealing with a ton of stress/anxiety, so I partially attribute my illness to that. The nausea/vomiting was severe, seemingly random (but commonly occurred at night/early morning), leaving me not wanting to do anything/go out, feeling constantly tired & run down, and with no appetite whatsoever as the thought of food made me ill. About 3.5 months later, I stopped taking ortho and I haven't vomited since. Just be careful in trying different BCs."


"I do not recommend this birth control! I've been taking it for almost 3 weeks and my body feels completely different. This pill made me very nauseous, bloated, moody and tired. It also made my periods closer together and my cramps more painful. Definitely going off of it."

"My symptoms, including persistent nagging cough, resolved within four (4) weeks of beginning this medicine.  However, after being symptom free for almost 3-6 months, my symptoms returned.  I am now taking double the dose, but have yet to experience the resolution I had initially."


"I started taking Contrave about a month and a half ago and I am down about 7 lbs. I did not notice much weight loss in the first month because I was actually taking the medication as prescribed. I am 5'6 about 154lbs. I only want to drop about 20lbs for my wedding and I was told this is not habit forming. I exercise and I am on a low cal diet. This medication does not curb my appetite but it does curb my intake which I LOVE. I don't want to stop eating all together and gain all the weight back as soon as I stop taking it.  This medication still lets me eat but not as much. I am on the second month and I notice I am losing about 3lbs a week which is a healthy way to lose weight. Every now and then I will get a headache but overall...GREAT!!"


"The first month I was very nauseous and felt foggy after taking the medication. Soon after that nausea went away. I am taking 10mg, this medication is extremely helpful."


"I've been a heavy drinker for all my adult life, and a mother of 3. Ended up extremely depressed as just could not stop. Ended up in hospital as took overdose as just couldn't cope with the addiction anymore. 20 years of it. Glad I did it though as now am getting the help I so need. Started on Librium 4 days ago, and have a nurse visit me at home daily. It is working wonders for me. Still dry heave and slightly shake and sweat, the second night was awful as had awful dreams and was seeing stuff, but WOW now what a huge difference. Recommend it highly, its helping me and my family so so much. Just hope myself and all of the above keep up the good work! Good luck to you all."


"I'd also like to commend you for a great analysis of the medicine.  Thanks."


"Started Trulicity April 26, 2016. The first shot was dreadful. I was VERY nauseous but most of that subsided, although around a day and a half after I give myself the shot I get a bout of nausea that lasts maybe an hour. It's worth it to me. My sugar is down and my weight is down 18 lbs. I go back to the doctor to get my A1c checked again to see if it is down from 7. I haven't lost my appetite. I just feel full a lot sooner. I had to have my lap band removed 3 years after the surgery due to esophagus issues and this is SO much easier. I am 5 lbs away from my lowest weight with the lap band."


"I'm only on my first pack but so far I have no negative side effects. This week (week 2) I feel great. I have been on Ortho Tricyclen Low and it gave me horrible mood swings, which this medicine has not. I love it!"


"My quality of life went from zero to 100 when I started on this med 20 years ago for migraine prevention! I am allergic to all Maxalt-type meds due to heart side effects! I am prescribed 4 capsules daily for migraine prevention and without them, I go straight into migraine symptoms and have to stay in bed for 3-4 days until the migraine and headache symptoms have disappeared! My new coverage is now Medicare RX! And they refuse to cover it! HELP"


"I'm 23 and my acne has always been bad since I was a teenager. I have blemishes all over and I'm always breaking out. I tried just about everything, soaps, creams, facial washes, etc. Recently I asked my physician what can he give me for my acne, he prescribed me 'Tretinoin Cream, USP, 0.025%'. At first this cream broke me out bad so I stopped using it. So I finally went to the dermatologist and she prescribed me 'Differin', 'Doryx', and a facial wash. I take the Doryx in the morning on an empty stomach, then I use the Differin after I wash my face with Irish Spring Aloe and at night I mix the Differin with the Tretinoin. I've been doing for a week now and it is clearing up my skin pretty good. I can't wait to see the results after a month."


"I started taking atenolol 12.5mg for my near syncope condition.  I was having near fainting spells-took a tilt table test and starting feeling bad after 18 minutes.  I was given a stressor around that time and then passed out.  I needed more than the atenolol to be able to function and work, etc. so my cardiologist put me on 10 mg Paxil.  I had to up it to 20mg and have been on this cocktail of medicines for approximately 4 years now. I have some moments when I feel lightheaded but nothing severe. This has been working for me pretty well though."


"I am 66 and used Androgel in the past for about 4 years, max dose (4 pumps), with T around 450. Then med was dropped from formulary; I switched to Fortesta. Doc started me on max dose (7 pumps; has different concentration) but had to decrease to just 2 pumps to get acceptable T level (7 pumps Fortesta gave T of 3,500!).

The formulary changed again and I'm back on Androgel 1.62% for nearly a year, max dose of 4 pumps, but T now only 175. This new stuff smells and feels different than the Androgel I was on before and is made in Mexico which makes me suspect improper manufacturing or storage.  Am definitely not pleased with this product now, and wonder what I'm actually using.

Will ask Doc about applying to thighs where I used Fortesta."


"Six months on finasteride reduced my prostate volume from 91 cc to 40 cc!  This has eliminated the need for surgery. I did have some dizziness but It has gradually become less of a problem."


"My doctor changed my medication from Advair & Ventolin to this new highly recommended medication Breo.

This is my second week taken it. I don't need any more Ventolin and I have being used it  2 puffs every 4 hours for the past 25 years.

I am taking one puff of Breo every 2-3 days and it works better than anything else that I have being trying on my entire life.

Please note: I am eating tons of celery, this vegetable is magic. I think the combination of Breo and celery is amazing and my body is happy.

Please don't forget to rinse your mouth immediately after the puffer otherwise you will have other side effects like sore throat."


"I am using Jublia allmost 7 months and nothing....I will continue more 4 months to see ."


"This is one of the medicines I cycle through for my migraine control.  My body gets "used" to them, so about every 4-6 months I have to change drugs.  Fortunately I can rotate back after about a year off.  This is one of my favorites, because the side effects don't interfere too much with my day-to-day life.  Tingling in the hands and feet, decreased appetite, and a bit of increased anxiety (but manageable).  For me, the benefits of having my migraines under control (ones that went on for days and weeks, 7-9 scale pain on a regular basis), far outweigh the cost of the side effects."

"I have had a recent history of anxiety and depression (last 5 years) and have tried several medications for both disorders.  Unlike Lexapro, I felt all of them had much more pronounced side Effects.  I have been taking 10mg of Lexapro for two months and feel it has really hit the "sweet spot". The only noticeable side Effect has been a short period of "the jitters".  I'll feel this is a really useful medication with a very pleasant "mellowing" effect."


"I was a bit hesitant to take it because yeah my periods were bad but I want to be pregnant. When I was 14, all I knew about birth control pills was that it prevents you from getting pregnant when having unprotected sex. I didn't know that you could take it and not have sex. My period an were so bad that I got hospitalized. These pills work 100% for me and I thank God for them. They've been a blessing to me and I truly recommend them. The only side effect I got were breast tenderness and freckles (on my thighs??). If you NEED it ladies, take it! It's the lowest tab they have. (="


"Had a Renal Nuclear Scan with Lasix Injection for die contrast to appear on the scan to identify the source of blockage in a kidney.  Prior to the scan, 5 weeks of recovering from an Upper Respiratory Infection including Bronchitis, all of my URTI symptoms returned with a severe cough and esophagus (throat) constriction DURING the 45 minute scan after the Lasix was injected.  Fortunately, I was in a hospital where they treated me immediately for the allergic reaction.  READ all of the interactions and side effects.  After 12 hours, I feel much better."


"Effexor has finally made me feel like myself again... Can't remember the last time I was me, it's been at least 7 or 8 years. Tried Lexapro, Wellbutrin, Zoloft with no relief and bad side effects. Celexa worked so-so. Effexor has given me my motivation and happiness back. Only side effects for me are night sweats and slight headache/dizziness if I forget a dose...worth it in my opinion to be me again! Don't forget counselling/ therapy too... Didn't feel the most helpful most days (I cried every time I went) but I can tell my maladaptive thought patterns have changed."


"I have mild acne  used epiduo for 6 months with no results it irritated my skin and acne didn't clear up I guess everyone  is different my sister used it too she had cystic acne and within 3 weeks her face was clear she has not scars but sadly it didn't work for me. I was prescribed this new gel and just in a few days I have noticed a huge difference finally my pimples are going away."


"This medication worked so well for my bipolar, no side effects except for dizziness when I forgot to take a dose.  Had to stop taking it because I no longer have insurance and couldn't afford $600 per month for one medication.  Wish I could afford to go back on it."


"I was very skeptical about this pill, however, after taking this for three weeks, I feel great. No side effects whatsoever! I am glad I took this courageous step."


"If you listen to your doctor, they tell you that while taking Doryx your acne may get worse in the first few months. That is no reason to quit. Thankfully for me this has not happened; in fact Dorxy cleared up my acne in about a month! I'm so happy that it did not irritate my stomach like most other antibiotics do."


"I have been on this medicine for three days now.  I take 75MG twice a day.  The one big thing I have noticed is that I am a lot more calm.  I can think clearer with this medicine.  I now it was working with what happened to me tonight.  Long story short, a girl I like that I was supposed to meet ended up ditching me.  Without this I would have been really angry, like smoke out of ears mad.  I was mad, but not that mad.  This has calmed me down a bunch!"


"Got 3 10 mg samples. Tried half a pill first night...nothing. Then tried a 10 mg second night...nothing. Then tried 15 mg and still nothing. Called it quits after that."


"Saved my life! Had major postpartum tried for 3 months on different antidepressants nothing worked until Nardil ! Thank you Nardil ..."


"I am 42 yrs and have been on 40 mg celexa for years. It did help with my anxiety 100% however all I do is sleep and lay and watch TV when I am awake. I DO NOT WANT to do ANYTHING or go ANY WHERE!! I do the bare minimum of my house work when before I was OCD about my home. You could literally eat off the floor, my house did not even look lived in. Celexa has taking many years of my life!! I have decided to taper and been taking 30 mg for a week and already feel SO MUCH BETTER!! I have been doing things around my house that I have neglected before and have plans to do so much more. Also going somewhere does not sound horrible. I mean I did not even go to family functions!! I am on my way of taking my life back!"


"I just started my second pack of Sprintec. I have had very irregular periods, the longest space between was eight months. After looking up what might cause this and ruling out pregnancy I found something called PCOS. I went to see a docter to get tested. After the results came back she put me on this. I got my period right on time with the pack. Normal length but a little heavier. I haven't experienced any side effects except maybe higher sex drive."


"I take 500 mg, 2x a day. I started in 2/09 and my A1C went from 7.5 to a 6.9. I have no side effects. I have concerns because I am now pregnant and I can't breastfeed while on this medication.

It does wonders for me."


"This medicine has significantly reduced my anxiety. I still have a little anxiety, but without this medicine my anxiety would be extremely high."


"With the DASH diet and exercise my BP was still high and the doctor increased my daily 5mg of Norvasc to 10mg. It helps decrease my usual 170/104 to approx 150/70 but only for a few hours. I am fatigued, headaches and super cold feet and hands constantly. I also have muscle cramps. I feel as if I had a heart attack a few days ago but my doctor says its gastritis. The side effects are worse than hypertension itself! Maybe I need a new medicine and/or a new physician. Good health to you!"


"My expirence with sprintec has been absolutely amazing. I have been on this pill for about two years now. I have never had a pregnancy scare or gotten pregnant. My doctor recommended this birth control to me and it has reacted with my body perfectly. Every ones body is different to certain birth controls but mine works well with it to this day. If you are looking for a birth control, ask your doctor about sprintec and see what feedback they give you. Overall, my experience with this has been great!"


"I selected this birth control specifically for the convenience and I was under the impression that there was really no risk of weight gain. I have consistently been putting on weight since I got the implant. I equated the weight gain to the "freshman 15", but I have been eating 1700 calories a day and working out 7 days a week and the weight keeps piling on. My periods completely stopped after about 3 months, but I did not have issues with my period to start with. My mental health has not been great either, but I assumed that was also from starting my first year of college. All of my friends have this and have no complaints, but it did not work out for me at all. Getting it removed as soon as possible."


"Depakote was given to me for onset postpartum psychosis and underlying bipolar 1 as a mood stabilizer. It did it's job. Wonderful results mentally, obsessive thoughts were all but gone and combined with my antipsychotic, it made my life much better.

But, the weight gain was hellish. I have gained 11 pounds in two weeks, and am looking at switching at my appointment on Monday. So, not good if you are looking for a weight neutral mood stabilizer."


"I wanted this to work so bad! I've always been sensitive to Hormonal birth control so I had the copper IUD for 2 years but it moved it out place and cause me constant yeast infections. So after having that removed I tried the Kyleena hoping it being a low does option I'd have no migraine issues. Well needless to say I'm having it removed after just 3 days. Have had a constant migraine since 12hrs after it was inserted and am so nauseous. I'm told this isn't a very common reaction but can happen if you get migraines easily, which I do. Oh well - no BC for me!"


"I have depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Had both positive and negative effects.  First the negative (Gastrointestional (diarrhea that goes away in time) numbness down arms and hands at night, insomnia, tingling in forehead in initial stages, swelling of face, hands, stomach, ankles, initial anxiety that subsided, up a few lbs but cannot say it is the medication yet closely watching diet to see but do seem to get very hungry in evenings). The positive is I feel better, not as negative or anxious, dealing with my mothers Alzheimer's disease better."


"Started taking just today!  I couldn't believe how full I got at lunch. I am making sure to eat a little something low cal, low fat and  low carbs every two hours.  Never hungry,  Slightly tired and a little bit of nausea after I ate lunch.  However,  I'm very excited how I end up in a week."


"Ok so I'm just tossing my 2 cents in. I had my liletta inserted 7 Days ago. I'll start with my best friends good luck text as I walked into the exam room "enjoy those 2 little contractions once it's in" (She is the only person I know who has had an IUD). On a scale of 1-10 this was a solid praying for my own death 15! (I have broken bones that have hurt less, not to mention 8 tats and a body piercing). I screamed out loud! And almost passed out twice once on the table and once on my way to the car. The cramping died down at day 5 it's random now, the bleeding is down to spotting.
But the BLOATING is insane.. I almost look pregnant. (5'10 175 lbs before insertion, I have not stepped on a scale since.) I fear it will not go away."


"Evens me out... Reduces the ups and downs."


"I went off of depo 2 years and 7 months ago. I can not have a period on my own, so I no longer ovulated. We have been seeing a fertility doctor for 7 months. I can only have a period and ovulate with medication, but we have still had no luck. The only thing they can find wrong with me is the shot. I'm so upset I may never be able to have another child. Do not take this if you ever want to have children. That's not including the side effects during: severe weight gain, mood swings"


"Tysabri seriously changed my life. Went two years on it, I have been one year without it because I have the JC virus and I'm now going into a flareup, unfortunately. I really miss the infusions."


"Have suffered chronic knee and lower back pain for 10 years   severe osteoarthritis of both knees and have torn and bulging discs, age 42. I am so grateful to the locum who initially prescribed oxycontin 12 months ago (now 20mg x 2) - a prescription for the first time which has lessened the pain and at last improved my quality of life. I was very reluctant to try an 'opiate', and remain on a lower dose by choice. For me the side effects and fear of becoming dependent is far outweighed by the relief provided. All medicines can be abused, and can have side effects - its a fine balance, but genuine chronic pain suffers must not be denied an effective treatment."


"My mother recently passed away with cancer that spread throughout her entire body within 1 year due to 3-4 pack a day smoker. Me being identical to my mother have decided it is time for me to quit as I do not want to die at such a young age of 56 like my beloved mom. I started taking the pill and within the first day cut my cigarettes by 7. I was a carton a week smoker and during my seven days cut down to 4 packs that week. I still have the urge or thought of smoking and do light up when I want one but have noticed a big difference. I started the 1 mg yesterday and only smoked 6 cigarettes the entire day and night. So far the only side effects I have had is nausea and sleepiness. I am happy with this little pill so far and would recommend to anyone."


"Do not use.
If you are one of the people that have an adverse reaction to
this drug, it can be really bad.
It just cost me my job and career. Almost died. I contacted
Pfizer twice for help and they ignored me.
Then they came out with all the warnings!!!"


"I began Contrave right around the last week of December of 2015. I was over 400lbs. I've struggled with weight my whole life. The first two weeks I had some side effects of feeling loopy and more talkative. I'm now on my 13th week and I've lost 45 lbs. It was very easy in the beginning. I use the Scale Down system daily and it is ok. Unfortunately I've hit a plateau and even with the max dosage I'm having cravings again. I think if I can get my mind back on track I'll be ok but this was definitely not a quick fix. You still have to change your lifestyle. If you're not prepared for that, don't even bother taking this. Only side effect I still experience is dry mouth. But that helps get in all the water I need to drink daily."


"Drug works fine for depression, but side effects include twitching, scratching, inability to sleep, restless legs, general restlessness, lack of concentration."


"Ativan is the only drug that can stop my vomiting when I'm in the middle of a bad cycle (I have cyclical vomiting syndrome which is triggered by neurally mediated hypotension.) I've never had any nasty side effects. I just get pleasantly loopy and very sleepy which is usually a blessing after staying up all night. I don't have a prescription for it so I end up in the ER a few times a year which is when they give it to me. (By the time it's that bad, I need IV fluids anyway so...)"


"I felt a change in my moods from Lamictal almost immediately. I haven't felt that great in years, but I developed a rash in 1-2 weeks of taking it. It started as itchy hands and feet and then I itched everywhere.  I did not have a severe or life threatening Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. I did drink alcohol on this medicine and it made me get drunk really fast and I would have very bad hangovers. I had to discontinue after 1 1/2 months because of the rash. Two of my friends take this and never had rashes and they also agree it is the best medicine they have taken for bipolar."


"I got Mirena because I had abnormal cells found in my uterus. I had always been regular as clockwork and beginning March I started bleeding heavy enough to fill the overnight extra long/absorbent incontinence pads!  Did that for month of March and April pending Dr. appt.   Mirena supposed to get rid of "bad" abnormal cells with progestin hormone only.  Between biopsy and insertion of IUD (no kids) most painful experience ever!  Have had light pink and brown discharge since insertion but had sex for first time with my husband in 5 months due to all this and now I'm cramping, bleeding again at slower rate - filling a light pantyliner, but when going to restroom pee to red water and blood when wiping. Feel like I'm starting over."


"I ended up in the ER with the worst case of the runs I have ever had in my 51 years!! I can't imagine how or why you would ever consider this injection. Why is it called (medicine)? I literally couldn't sleep. I would lay down in bed as we all do and within 5 minutes be up and on the toilet! Every 5- 20 minutes like this for 3 days so far! I'm so tired!! If I fall asleep on this injection, I WILL loose control of my bowels, and I have, 6 times in the bed. FIRST WEEK WAS OKAY... Second week the runs on Tuesday (injection on previous Sunday). Same time on third week of use. Same results, and trip to the ER.  If  you like the thought of buying a new bed, than inject this medicine into your body. How humiliating!!"


"I understand that this BC is not for everyone, but I have noticed that a lot of the "bad reviews" didn't give this pill a chance for longer than 1-2 months! My doc told me it would take at LEAST 3 months to adjust to the pill, and to wait it out about that long to see any side effects subside. As far as my experience goes, I have had a few very manageable side effects.The first week or two, I gained 5-7 lbs in water weight, had some minor mood swings/crying spells, and decreased appetite, but that all went away and returned to normal. The only thing negative so far for me is that I have had spotting/period in the middle of each pack, which is VERY light, as well as cramps for about 4 days straight. Hoping that part goes away soon!"


"I have never felt so awful in my whole life as I have the last 3 weeks since having this inserted into my arm.  I cannot get it out soon enough.  My mood has been all over the map and the anxiety and depression is more than I can take.  I have gained weight in just 3 weeks and honestly feel horrible.  I would never recommend this to anyone...it is not worth it."


"I recently started taking this pill to regulate my period and I feel wonderful. I'm not as moody, irritated and easily annoyed as I was before. I never had a lot of pimples but my face has cleared up and haven't lost or gained weight. For me I would have to say the only bad part is that I get cramping. But it doesn't bother me since I take it right before going to bed. The best part is that my insurance covers it."


"My PCP prescribed cyclobenzaprine 10mg for very bad back pain. I was given ten and told to take one a day. I only ended up taking two. It put me out in about 15 minutes, I slept great, but woke up feeling like I had had a stroke. I couldn't walk straight, I was slurring my speech and I was exhausted. Going to school, I literally couldn't stay awake. I had taken an Adderall that morning (a previously prescribed medication) and had coffee, but still had to leave early and went home and slept for another 6 hours. The next night, it put me out for about 15 hours. My back is almost 100% better, but I really have to clear my schedule if I intend on taking another one."


"Seroquel has helped me better than any other medicines for sleep and some of my bipolar problems. I highly recommend it."


"I just got my kyleena today. I'm about 10 hours post insertion. Getting the kyleena put in was super painful; the nurse held my hand though and I only had minor spotting after. I was cramping horribly until about an hour ago. Hopefully it's worth it."


"Enhances my acid reflux"


"I have been on Norco for about 8 months now for fibromyalgia and degenerative bone and disc disease and I tell you what, this medicine works and gets the job done! I have been taking pain relievers for over 7 years and they work 100% better for breakthrough pain than any other on the market! Take caution in getting off of them and make sure you CUT BACK SLOWLY as they are addictive or habit forming. Hope you have good of results from this medication as I had."


"I had been on Effexor for five years and had noticed a decrease in helping me with my depression so my Dr switched me over to Cymbalta ... I did not get harsh side effects aside from a little jitters at the beginning but it soon settled. I must say I have been on it three months and I have been waiting for my anxiety to subside ... Cymbalta no help there at all. Pain I have Ankelosing Spondolosis ... curved spine and pinched nerves (severe sciatica ) no help there either. Maybe my case is just a little more than 60 mg a day can handle ... but honestly I'm ready to go back to effexor, vicodin and alprazolam. At least they worked. If anyone has advice please drop a line."


"Probably one of the BEST medications for insomnia..its a shame its rarely prescribed anymore."


"Costly, no breaks, once yearly free 30. Cost $250 monthly"


"I went to the doctor today and they looked in the back of my throat. There were white irritated pockets in it. There were sores on my upper lip, on my bottom lip and roof of my mouth. Of course I thought it was STREP THROAT, so the doctor gave me a strep test and it came back negative. He said it was a form of herpes. A viral canker sore infection. So he prescribed me ACYCLOVIR 200MG. I take 2 capsules 3 times a day for 5 days and it should clear it up."


"I took it for 11 months and had to stop due to sudden spotting once a week. My body got used to the progestin and started shedding too much of my lining (what my doc said). I had such a great experience with it I am sad to see it not work for me anymore! I had my period every 3 months due to how horrible they were in the past, but on this pill my periods improved a ton. I went from being bed ridden for hours to an actual functioning woman. Sure I had cramps but they were just normal compared to what I was used to. Periods were shorter but not lighter. My breasts grew a lot as well. Didn't gain any weight other than that. No other symptoms."


"I took many SSRI medications in the past for anxiety/depression but was unable to handle all the negative side effects. I've spent the last 3 years dealing with daily fatigue to the point of just feeling sick every day, so work and bed became my home. I couldn't find  the energy to go shop, visit my son, be with friends, attend church,  I just felt SICK .Daily crying spells every morning and an awful pain on the inside I can't describe.  I didn't know what was wrong with me but I knew it wasn't normal and was only getting worse.!!!! ....Dr gave me 10 mg. Of  LEXAPRO ..first pill very sick but have been on it 4 weeks now.  Thank goodness FOR THIS MEDICATION!!!!!  It took several weeks but as weeks go by I feel even better !!!! :))))"


"I was experiencing asthma symptoms from being exposed to a cat. After using Asthmanerfrin starter kit, I felt it work pretty quickly, but also noticed that my heart rate increased, hand tremors, and within a few minutes I began to cough up phlegm with blood. Then about a half hour later, I started to experience tightness in my left lung and it became difficult to swallow. Using the product, only for a few days, I haven't experienced problems with the mechanical functions, and it didn't bother me that it was a different product than a typical inhaler. I kept it clean, like instructed. However, I am concerned with the side effects I've experienced and plan to check with the pharmacist. I fear I am allergic to this product."


"Hi I wanted to give another update. My last update was on March 22nd. Today made 5 weeks and 3 days on victoza and I am down 26lbs. I'm still eating healthy, hardly any appetite and haven't started any kind of exercise program yet. I have had no side effects other then light heartburn that i take an over the counter medication for. I have to say I am pleased so far with my results and look forward to the future."


"I have PCOS and fibroids.  Had a tubal ligation during caesearean with third child 7/21/09 which lead to 10 weeks of bleeding and spotting.  Had d&c in December 2010 then mirena inserted for treatment of heavy menstrual flow.  Of course my periods go heavier, not lighter, but somewhat predictable with help of period tracker app.  Once my period hit day 47 in Oct 2012 I had it removed and my period started that day.

Since I had the mirena removed my periods have become normal"


"I've been on Nortrel 1/35 for about 10 months now.  I'm 22 and this is the first time I've been on birth control.  I had spotting between periods for the first few months I took it - way longer than you're supposed to.  Sometimes it practically was a period, and then during the off-week I would have another one. But my periods were never regular and now they are - a good thing.  My cramps, however, seem to have gotten worse.  But my biggest problem is vaginal dryness!  It's not that I don't have a sex drive, it's just that sex HURTS without an hour of foreplay and a gallon of lubricant.  I guess that makes this a highly effective method of birth control, because I'm starting to avoid sex out of fear that it will leave me sore for hours."


"I got the Nexplanon implant in August 2015 due to having extreme menstrual cramps and was desperate for a remedy. I have to say, it has worked for me well in that regard. No nausea, vomiting, crawling around on the floor for 2 days begging for the pain to stop as I had done for several years prior. The tradeoff, however, is that I have been bleeding from around end of September 2015 to now. Because of other health issues, I am limited in choosing other methods but I can't bleed like this forever! No other side effects except the occasional twinge of pain at the insertion site. Now I'm really weighing my options to have it removed and risk the return of the godawful cramps that brought me to the decision, or no cramps but bleed out."


"I'm 18 & I've never had a YI before so when I started itching & burning, of course, I started freaking out! I had protected sex Saturday & then Monday all hell broke loose in my vagina I was itching so bad that I Googled all of my symptoms & it said I had BV.  Monday night I cried & got NO SLEEP because I was up scratching. So Tuesday I said F THIS, I need answers. I made an appointment the same day to my OBGYN and I told her I thought it was an allergic reaction to the condom but she said I had a YI. She put me on terconazole 3 days & the pink nasty 2 day pill.  I took the pill & cream yesterday, I slept like a baby & but tonight I'm a lil itchy after using the 2nd dose. Hopefully after the 3rd cream & 2nd pill it'll be fully gone."


"I had Psoriasis on my elbows and i was prescribed daivonex it does the job as in, it gets rid of it, but as soon as I stop using it the Psoriasis returns. To be expected I think.

It works in short."


"I have been on and off the ring for years I'd say at least 7yrs..from the time I was 18. The first few years it was great! No side effects. Everything else I had tried made me a psychopath. Fast forward to now I'm a different person. Mine and my husband's sex life is gone. Nonexistent. The dryness is terrible, breast tenderness almost daily. No weight gain or acne but I would trade that for my normal sex life back. Perfect birth control if you are forgetful but I'm to my limit on patience with it."


"I had my thyroid removed in February 2009 and was on Levothroid until about 2 months ago. It did nothing to help. I switched to Synthroid and it seems to work better, but I still am feeling depressed, difficulty concentrating and have trouble remembering things, like any new information given to me. I just haven't felt like myself since the surgery."


"I was given Taytulla after using Minastrin 24 for a year (which worked great). After taking it for a few months my anxiety (which I had before taking it but was under control) became so much worse and I began having panic attacks every day, and I actually became depressed despite having no history of it. These issues along with extreme mood swings/irratibility, frequent headaches, fatigue, and lack of motivation to do anything (despite being a motivated person before) caused me to switch back to Minastrin, even though I had to pay more because my insurance doesn't cover it . To me paying extra is way better than having to go on this pill again, which I would not recommend to anyone, especially those who have anxiety/depression to begin with"


"I had mirena put in about 8 months ago.  So far it works as far as preventing pregnancy. I have 2 kids.  But I bleed every time I have sex and it becomes painful at times to have sex. I spot all the time to and cramp on and off. Don't really like how it makes me feel. But it's the best birth control I've found so far."
