"I first was using the pill and that made me have my period for 2-3 weeks straight. I don't know why I didn't just get the patch in the first place! I love the patch. It's one less responsibility I have to deal with. I've been using it for 3 months now and so far I never had a pregnancy scare. The downfall of this (because of the type of person) I get every symptom. I got rashes, I threw up before, my boobs get so tender when my period comes (but that always happened even before taking the patch), and my mood swings are crazy! But this only happens when I put the patch on after taking the week long break.  After a couple of days I'm perfectly fine. I do recommend the patch though. Just because I get all the symptoms doesn't mean you will :)"


"I was 9st 4lb wanted to put some Weight on tried calorie drinks and and eating more but you can't eat more if you're not hungry did research found these pills doctor had never heard of them but prescribed me 3 months of pills 3 a day I took 1 felt shattered so I take half a tablet a day no side effects and now 10st 6lbs in 7 months feeling lot better just give your body time to get used to them"


"After reading of so many negative side effects of Femara I was hesitant to start. Since it decreases my chances of recurrence by 25% I felt I must try it. I've been on it for 1 year now and have had very few if any negative side effects. My hair regrowth has been spotty and slow, whether due to the Femara or just the general effects of chemo and radiation I'm not sure. I switched 2 months ago to the generic formula, have noticed no changes. I feel very fortunate not to have suffered many of the effects other women have reported."


"I had skyla inserted in April 2016 and after a couple months of my body adjusting it was great! But, last month while having sex with my boyfriend I felt extreme pain in my uterus so we stopped. After a couple of excruciating hours trying to decide if it was skylas fault it hurt, I decided to go to the ER. The pain was so bad I couldn't even walk straight. After the ER doctor removed my IUD I was instantly relieved. I'd never felt so relieved in my life. According to the ER doctor my IUD had rotated slightly during intercourse and that's what caused the extreme pain. He also said that more often than not women came in to have it removed from it moving around in their uterus. I won't ever get another IUD"


"I was prescribed buspirone for my generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder (as well as clonazepam) Three doses a day; in the afternoon only a dose of buspirone. The first three weeks were hard, as it took that long to get into my system. Once it kicked in, however, I noticed a huge difference. I felt more balanced, and less likely to have a panic attack. Once I took a dose it took effect in half-hour. It does well on it's own to control the anxiety. I took a couple stars off because the side effects are true to the label. They aren't so severe after years of taking it, but the dizziness is strong. I feel like my body will just fall one way or the other, and it's hard to gather strength. Now I take only one dose a day, and it works just as well."


"If you start getting moody, stop taking this medication immediately. I was on this BCP for exactly 1 month and I developed a stroke (hospital categorized it as a seizure) where I couldn't remember my name and had to redevelop my speech and writing. The day after the hospitalization I developed Mono from my weakened immune system and slept for 24 hours straight. Do not take BCP in general. ."


"I have Bipolar I disorder along with PTSD and ADHD. I am a rapid cycler which means im all over the place and I need to have a strict medication schedule in order to remain stable. Being on any stimulant medications, like even a steroid for inflammation, can make me manic. After spending years trying to stabilize my condition I faced with a choice: either drop out of college bc I couldnt keep up or risk going manic by trying an ADHD med. It took months for my doctor to agree to give me something, anything, for my ADHD because the risks were too high, but she finally did. In February she prescribed Quillivant XR because it had seemed to work with other Bipolar patients. Since then everything has changed. My mind works. My brain works finally"


"This works very well and tastes great too. I've tried many over the years from my doctor. Only this one works for me. "


"I have found the medication invaluable for Poison Oak rashes."


"I had a broken toe and it worked great for the pain."


"I got the Depo shot because I had really bad anxiety. My OB read my chart from my reg doctor, and told me that I should be on some type of BC. I said okay. She recommended the SHOT. Such a bad choice now. I took the shot back in May 2017. I didn't have my period for the rest of that month. Then June 2nd came, I had a normal period. But after I THOUGHT is was done, I had spotting. Up until I started my period again. Then spotting up until my next period. We are now in Sept , I'm bleeding with BIG clots.  Please do your research! It made me fell worse. My depression was worse and prolonged periods. I can't stand it. Loosing so much blood makes you feel weaker and tired. DON'T NOT GET THE DEPO SHOT."


"I started Trulicity three days ago.  No vomiting yet but just low level

nausea and slight depression. Sugar went down 111 and low appetite.

Concerned about future especially depression aspect."


"Ive been on phentermine for 3 days now. My starting weight 221 today 217.5 "


"I have been taking Otzela since March 26, 2016 (6 mos). I had the typical GI and headache issues that are common but I have also been struggling with a chronic cough. After years of being in a "remission", the psoriasis starting returning a couple of years ago and I had a severe flair last winter that would not respond to anything. 90% of my arms and legs were covered, with many lesions on my lower back and ears. The Otzela has cleared the psoriasis about 95% but now to the cough. In July, I stopped coughing at night and I hoped my body was adjusting but alas not. I caught a cold and the cough is worse than ever. I am going to taper off, resolve the cough and restart at a lower dose and hoping for a compromise."


"I have only been on this medicine for 3 days and I have severe diarrhea. I was sick for a week with a high fever but this medicine has made me feel worse. I am going to stop taking it immediately. The label also says you can continue to have the diarrhea for weeks or months after."


"Second day into a 7 day cycle ...within the first 15 to 20 minutes ciprofloxacin gives me phantom sensations like flea bites..nothing major it goes away shortly after. The blood is clearing up in my urine but still a mild pain in my right flank. Hopefully this stuff gets rid of the bacteria for good. Feels like it is..other than a sour stomach it seems to be working"


"Last night I had severe diarhhea and stomach pain and dizziness, maybe I was dehydrated from the stomach bug so I went to the ER and they said they were going to give me Zofran, which I have a phobia of trying new pills but my stomach hurt so bad, I told the nurse I'd break it in half till I seen how small it was, and she said just let it dissolve on your tongue so I did and it had a strawberry flavor which I told her wow this taste good, and within about 5 minutes my nausea had gotten so much better, even relaxed me a bit, I'm telling you folks if you have the stomach bug or stomach aches, give this a shot I had no side effects at all, maybe a little sleepiness but like others I'll take that over the stomach pain, thanks Zofran."


"I take 1 x 20 mg tablet a day. Blood pressure was 205/95. 6 months now and blood pressure is pretty good. It varies between 118/85 - 135/80. I did develop a dry cough. But its not unbearable."


"Hello! I am 21 and I had my Skyla put in over 6 months ago. I took two ibuprofen before going to the doctor. The insertion was painful for about 30 seconds (really bad cramping). About an hour later I had some bleeding then some heavy cramps, but after taking Midol they went away. I bled for about 4 weeks straight and had some pretty bad cramps during that time. After that, my period became normal (only once a month for 4-5 days with light to normal bleeding). I do experience some bad cramping from time to time, mostly before my period and a few days after it stops, but after taking Midol or Aleve, it goes away. I also have a history of ovarian cysts and endometriosis but have not had any problems with that since my Skyla! I recommend this!"


"I have only been taking minocycline for a few days. I woke up today with some vertigo and loss of equilibrium, especially on my left side. I am stopping this medication."


"Mirvaso has really made a difference for me & I'm honestly shocked by the poor reviews. I have a history of terrible, lifelong acne. Even after using Accutane I still had a lot of redness. My current acne/rosacea meds: Oracea, Atralin cream in the PM, & in the AM Mirvaso for face & Onexton gel for acne around jawline. It might seem like a lot but it beats going on another round of Accutane or adding more pills. I have VERY sensitive skin, so when I first started using Mirvaso I only did a tiny drop MIXED IN with my daily face moisturizer. My derm did not tell me to do this---this was from reviews read online. I very gradually got my skin used to this and after 1 yr I still love it. I get minimal rebound redness but I do use it every day."


"IT WORKS. There's not enough space in the review for my whole experience so I'll give you some bullet points. First time having sex. Had unprotected sex (no condom, no birth control). Took Plan B about 4-5 hours after sex. May have been ovulating (but my cycle is always irregular). 291 pounds. All reviews said that being overweight and ovulating makes it ineffective. NO SIDE EFFECTS AT ALL! Well my period just showed up today! That's 2 days after I thought it would. Ladies, please use protection. If he doesn't want to use protection, get the hell out of there. Needless to say, I have my birth control and will be getting it injected tomorrow."


"I was drug free for the first 26 years of my life, but after my divorce I began a whole new life on my own, found new friends and started to have fun that included drugs. I felt they were harmless, and that turned in to 20 750 mg vicodins everyday. Some days it was hard to get them and then I would go in to a desperate panic terrified by the thought of withdrawl. I began Suboxone 2 years ago and never had one withdrawl symptom. It is shocking how effective it is."


"I'm 23, never had kids, and decided to choose Skyla as my method of birth control after having issues keeping track of pills and not being consistent with the time of day I took them. The actual insertion itself was painful but it was over very quickly. I was given tramadol to take afterwards for a couple of days, but only needed it immediately afterwards, and went back to work the next day to a very physical job. After the first period post procedure my periods have significantly lightened, but other than that life's been the same, my boyfriend has never felt the IUD, and overall I highly recommend Skyla!!"


"Even though I did lose about 4 pounds in almost 2 weeks.. I feel that was from my healthy eating and not the belviq. I was still hungry, extremely tired, and towards the end of my trial depressed. I wouldn't reccomend this product to anyone :("


"Started Vyvanse (30mg) about 3 years ago, and still on it to this day! I am extremely more concentrated, and have more motivation throughout the entire day. This medication saved my life, and I have not looked back every since! Plus you loose weight, so that's a plus (:"


"I've been taking Sronyx for about 3 weeks. I am on my 4th day on my inactive pills. Last night I woke up with really bad cramps and to a really heavy period. Which has never happened before my periods before birth control were very light and no cramping.

I've also experience Breast growth, and a little weight gain."


"Listen!! if your reading these, stop doing this to yourself. Im 49-M and literally drove my self crazy researching and reading .. here it is in a nutshell. Place the 2 bottles of suprep in fridge night before. Eat a LOW FIBER DIET 2 days before and of course your liquid diet the day before. Mix in your chilled water ( I used SMART WATER) with the 6 oz Suprep. Use a big straw. not a thin one. drink as much as you can, use lemon slice, do again, use lemon slice, and i was done with it after 3rd time. drank two more 16 oz waters over next hour ( I used smart water again). this stuff just liquefies everything. 15 to 30 minutes later you will have liquid BM's.. No pain, no bloating .. just the full feeling of drinking so much .."


"I give this one a 4 because when I take it I feel the pain but its more like a pressure not pain. I know the pain is there but I can keep moving. But when it starts to wear off, I feel the pain greater. "


"This review is about the insertion only. I had mine placed today so I can't review for effectiveness yet. I have never had kids. At the insertion, there was an uncomfortable pinch that hurt maybe a 4 or 5 on a scale of 1 to 10, but it only lasted a few seconds. The whole procedure took maybe 5 minutes. I took two tylenol before. I was not on my period because it has been irregular. I have had almost no bleeding from it. I was able to go into work afterward and work a full day. Some slight stomach cramps for the first couple of hours, but walking helped and it was completely manageable. The only disadvantage I foresee is it can make period bleeding unpredictable for a while. Don't let the pain reviews sway you. It really was not that bad."


"Mirena gave me acne and I have erythema aswell."


"It did nothing for my anxiety or my panic disorder. It did help me breathe better though. It cleared my sinuses pretty good."


"Cleared up the infection in a few days."


"This medicine was great. Like you all say I got my life back, but then I started to get to where I felt like I was 80 years old in the morning I had severe leg cramps causing me to walk like a 80 year old women would walk, and I am only 46. I had pain in my calves and in my heels, shoulder pain severe. I could not sit or stand for long periods of time. I kept telling myself that it not the Roxy I was on that was causing me so much pain because I like how it let me get my work done. But then when I started feeling the horrible pain in my calves that I could barely walk and made me very weak like I could not do my normal stuff, it put me into a depression because I felt like I was old before my time."

"I have been on Loestrin 24 Fe for 2 months now and haven't had a period yet! Not even any spotting or bleeding. A couple of days ago when I should have started, I was having very bad cramps but my period never came on. I have gained about 10lbs but other than that, I am happy with it. My tubes are tied and burnt so the only reason I'm on this birth control is to regulate my period and stop the heavy flow and so far, it has done all of the above!"


"Enbrel most likely saved my life. Was eating less znd less due to pain in jaw. Range of motion loss in neck, hip, jaw and  back largely regained after taking Enbrel. On it for 6  years. Pain went away day after starting it. First symptom was probably iritis episode in 2000. Now 53 years old and only worry is how to pay for it with all the changes in medical coverage."


"I've been on lexapro for about 2 weeks. The first few days I felt amazing. I just got a kick of energy and happiness. It felt great. Soon after that I was majorly depressed again and back to my suicidal thoughts. Everything that goes along with depression. Hopefully it begins working soon."


"Horrible headache, drowsiness, feeling of paralysis,  and diarrhea"


"As a National board certified Respiratory therapist and Asthma Educator and having been diagnosed with moderate to severe asthma, I have been using a variety of medications to control my symptoms however, nothing worked for many years. My last prescribed medications were Daliresp* and Symbacort. I have been on them for several years to no control of symptoms. I read about Breo* and asked my Dr. to let me try a sample. After just one week, I finally had relief. After using Breo* for over 4 months now, I can say that this medication is a real miracle to me. I teach COPD and Asthma education to my patients and highly suggest for them to talk with their Dr. about Breo* As of the 4 month mark, I haven't even needed my rescue inhalers once."


"I had impetigo on my face and corner of my mouth. It was very painful. I started using Altabax and I had relief within a day."


"I couldn't remember the last time I had a "good" day since diagnosed having Fibromyalgia until 2010, when I was first told about Lyrica by an emergency doctor. The symptoms & pain had got so bad that I drove myself to a Baylor emergency room. Physically and mentally I just felt defeated. I was so stressed out that I developed an ulcer and my potassium/magnesium levels were so low they admitted me several times for as long as a week on time. Bags of blood had to be given and IV fluids. Ugh..I was a hot mess. I don't recall the doctor that introduced me to Lyrica, cause I was in and out a few times, but all I can say is a BIG thank-you. I've been on Lyrica 300mg a day since 2010. I can get what I need done and function like a normal woman."


"Worked great for this."


"I started Tri Sprintec 3 months ago for my 15 year struggle with acne. I am 35 years old and haven't been able to battle acne until now.....sort of. It has cleared my acne by like 90%! It probably would of been 100% if it wouldn't make me stay on my period for 3 weeks at a time. I have ALWAYS been regular with no cramps or period problems until now. I still have no cramps, but my period comes on whenever it feels like it! So annoying. I also have had tender breasts. I'm already a DDD so I don't need any growing there please! Other than that....I love that fact that my face is clearing up...I can deal with the other problems as long as my acne is GONE!!"


"I love Arthrotec and did not realize just how well it was working for me until I switched to Celebrex, which did nothing.  Within days on Celebrex I was so stiff I could hardly walk.  I have back issues from arthritis (nerve impingement, etc.) and have epidural spinal injections. I promptly went right back to the Arthrotec.  But, I do realize now that the Arthrotec does make me very drowsy and hungry. The hunger and cravings is really strange, but during the time on Celebrex I wasn't hungry at all while dieting.  So, it's either pain and stiffness, or drowsiness and hunger.  I chose not to have pain."


"Since starting on desiccated thyroid (about 6 months ago) I have more energy than I have had in years. Now I can hike and bike in the same week whereas before I would feel completely exhausted after an activity and need days to recover. Ten years ago when I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism my lifestyle changed completely from active to sedentary, my sex life ended and I became a shew. I pray that I am at the end of that nightmare, thanks to a simple change in medication."


"Pros:
Onset in 6 minutes,
Perfect sleep (feel more rested despite sleeping for less time),
Absolutely no physiological side effects

Cons:
Blurred vision,
Problems with coordination,
Profoundly altered mind, (confusion, delusions, hallucination)
Retrograde Amnesia (complete blackout for duration)

Powerful, incredibly effective sleep aid, with very few interactions or physical side effects. Solved my sleep problems 100%. Be careful when, how, and around who you use this drug. You might wake up in the morning and find you've called people, written or drawn things, etc, without any recollection."


"This is a true story. I started taking Trazodone 50 mg eight months ago when I was so stressed out because my son was addicted to Ambien I passed out at work. He was crazy on the Ambien and I was crazy worrying about him! The doctor prescribed Trazodone and I've been taking it every night since then. I don't know what I would do without it! In one nights I still wake up several times, but overall I sleep 100% better. I would love to be off of it but for this time in my life, it's been a lifesaver."


"I was just recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia and was temporarily  prescribed tramadol for pain. I deal with terrible anxiety on a daily basis and it turns out since I've been taking this it has helped so much with anxiety. Although its been hard to concentrate while taking this I don't like the way it alters my mind but it's been a huge relief to be anxiety free. I havent discussed this with my doctor yet but so far I've found nothing else to help anxiety."


"I have been on Micardis for over 1 year now and I can honestly say that my blood pressure is regulated.  I have loved the convenience of just taking one pill every 24hrs and have never had any side effects at all."


"Nasty stuff.  First had extreme tiredness, then stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, fever, chills, rash.  Went to emergency. Was on it total of 3-1/2 wks.   Stopped it two days ago, still not well. Maybe go back to methotrexate."


"Took plan b back in December after unprotected sex and got my period a week later, which was also around the time I should've normally gotten it. It was kind of heavy and lasted 5 days, which is normal for me. Well I had unprotected sex again in January and had what I think was a period 2 weeks after. It was just really light in flow and was more brown than red and it lasted 8 days. Now I'm waiting on my next period which is now 21 days late. I'm cramping, bloated, nauseated and even have thrown up once and had diarrhea. I've taken 2 tests and both came out negative so I have no choice but to continue playing this waiting game I guess. Needless to say, plan b works but its side effects are HORRIBLE."


"19 year old female. i've been taking bupropion 75 MG for 3 days. the first day i took it and i felt like i was having a non-convulsive seizure. i kept zoning in and out of a tv show i was actually interested in. my sleep schedule is also very weird, but anyways, i took it yesterday and it didn't really change anything. but at the end of the day i felt this kind of mix of euphoria and dysphoria at the same time? then went to bed at 10 which isn't normal for me at all. i usually don't sleep at night. i woke up this morning and took it again and it's giving me the WORST headache. im laying in the dark with a blanket over my head and my ears are ringing but im gonna try to push through to the good part:)"


"Woke up due to severe vertigo. Diagnosis of Otitis Media (at 43? Haven't had an ear infection since I was 13). Doctor prescribed a Z-Pak (Azithromycin 500mg Day 1, 250mg days 2-5). The vertigo decreased by Day 3, but never completely subsided.

2nd morning after finishing the Z-pak, the vertigo was back in full force, and my ear started to ache. Azithromycin didn't kill the infection."


"I used this for my last herniated disk issue.  I had a sequestered herniated L5 L4 issue and suffered from nerve pain down my left leg and drop foot.  Pain Medications (e.g. 10mg Percocet 3-4 times daily) did nothing for my leg pain though helped my back.
Lyrica at 150mg twice daily did the trick for my leg nerve pain. The sciatica makes your leg kill while you know nothings wrong with it, so with Lyrica I was amazed to have the leg pain just disappear. No side effects. Sciatica went away by itself after 3 months so no need for Lyrica anymore."


"I have constipation due to irritable bowel syndrome. After using many other laxatives that helped for awhile, Miralax( Restoralax in Canada) is the only one that has helped me have a regular bowel movement every morning without cramps, gas and bloating.  I've been using it for about 6 weeks with no side effects.  I take Restoralax every mid-afternoon and drink lots of water all day."


"I went from taking 400Mg morphine, 80Mg Oxycodone daily. To taking nothing for one day, it was hell. The following day my Dr started me on 16Mg of Suboxone. Right away the urges just went away like I've never even taken opioids. I recommend everyone with pill problems please ask you Dr. about Suboxone. I lost my wife and two kids over pills its just not worth it."


"I have used abreva everytime I get a coldsore/fever blister. I get them really bad all the time. I usually have coldsores/fever blisters any where from 3-4 weeks. Abreva has cut down how long I have them down to a week or a week and a half. It has also gradually made them smaller until they are gone."


"I've taken it for only 3 days and a haff. It has positive affect for my bipolar. the 1st day I was so scared and wanted to give up because of drowsiness and tiress, nightmare (40mg mornig and 40mg afternoon). but after I cut the dose down (40mg/ night only)  everything's gone good. I've got feelings of happiness which I've lost for long time!!! I think it works for depression combine bibolar. but the problem that it make me difficuty to feel asleep. I coudn't sleep early, woke up until 2am!!! I'm looking to see my doctor soon."


"Zoloft worked wonders for me. I feel like a new and improved person. My social anxiety is almost totally gone and I feel much happier, able to enjoy life to the fullest.

Luckily, I have limited side effects: only vivid dreams (which is the most bothersome side effect) and occasional upset stomach, but nothing too bad. Of course all antidepressants have very different effects on everyone but it worked for me. I don't mean to sound like a commercial but I have really noticed a change and I feel much less anxious and depressed."


"Do NOT use this product! I have given this to my children when they were younger but have never taken it myself. Had a cough, decided to try it. (Only had a yogurt early in the morning) took Delsym at noonish. Made a sandwich around 1:30 or so. Mid-sandwich.....I literally pooped my pants!!! I had to run to the bathroom where I suffered w raging diarrhea!! I hadn't had a stomach ache or any symptoms prior. For the rest of the day I haven't eaten or really drank. It's now 6:10 and I'm sipping on water and at times feel like I could vomit. Stomach still gurgling. Something made me look up if Delsym could cause this and I see so many other similar reviews. I will never take it again"


"I have taken Ambein for about 4 years, never wake up tired or groggy. Stay asleep for a good 6-7 hours. Best sleep med I have taken."


"This medicine is wonderful!"


"It's a complete contradiction, on one hand it'll make you go for sure, till it's running down your legs in the middle of the night. On the other hand it only works as a fast acting medication. So you get to go thru the cramping, sweating, irritation, withdrawals and panic every time you want to go. I took my second pill a few weeks ago and posted the effects here. I haven't taken anymore but am still having all of these side effects every time I have to go.???? I thought I would be over all this by now. I'm miserable along with sleeping legs....."


"This is the best medication I've taken for a mood stabilizer.  It takes about 3 months to work at peak, but the benefits have been amazing. While some medications seem to drag you to feeling better,  this one just nudges me. I feel as if My Real personality can show through. I'm stable and thinking more rationaly, without losing the ability to feel my emotions. Plus, I lost a few pounds."


"I have been on Loestrin 24 Fe for about five years. It's been my one and only birth control, but can't complain. Many of my friends have had to change birth control, and I always recommend mine. It doesn't make you gain weight. Your period is very very mild. From having my period for a week with severe cramping and heavy periods, I went to three days with very little bleeding and not much cramping. I recommend it! You won't regret it!"


"Ahhh LUNESTA! I absolutely love this stuff. I started taking it when I was put on an anti depressant that gave me severe insomnia as a side effect. That went away as my body got used to the AD, but I do get insomnia here and there and Lunesta is my drug of choice. I used to use either Benadryl or Melatonin for my occasional insomnia, however, I find Lunesta is the best at putting you in a nice peaceful sleep, and not make you too groggy in the morning. Most people criticize Lunesta for it's "metallic" taste, but I have a ridiculously simple solution: Don't let the pill touch your tongue! I fill my mouth with water first, push the pill through my closed lips, and then swallow. Never had the bad taste since doing that! Try it out!!"


"My vagina is on fire. I planned to fall asleep after taking this and instead, I am googling if others had the same reactions as me, which so many people have. NEVER BUY THE CREAM FILLED APPLICATORS! Seriously, it is worse than the actual yeast infection. It hurts so badly and I am wide awake now."


"I also suffer from mild post traumatic stress disorder due to multiple miscarriages. At work and in my personal life I was very irritable - 0-50 in 2 seconds. I thought it was just who I am, until a minor situation happened at work. It opened my eyes, but I was devastated to hear from my doctor that I had to take medication. I felt like a failure. I started out with 20 mg/day, and by the fourth week a miracle happened. I felt "normal" - I started to worry about the things I should worry about, and all the little things did not matter at all. After taking it for 3 months, at times I found my mood to be irritable, so I'm now taking 30 mg/day and have not felt better."


"I have been taking Paxil for over 1 year. I tried Prozac, did not like it, made me feel out of control. I tried Celexa still felt depression. I take 20 mg of Paxil every night before bedtime since I feel this medicine makes me sleepy and relaxed. I usually sleep very good. I don't have that weird feeling of anxiety anymore. I feel relaxed and can see life in a realistic prospective. My mood is good not bad or great but okay. I cry only a few times a month specially during my PMS time, so I really think this is good medicine for me. I can go on everyday with little negative thoughts and usually can block them out and change my thoughts. So yes I like it, I do feel a bit numb at times so I will seek doctor's advice, but overall it is has been a great experience."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"My experience is the same except, after the initial dose it took 4 hrs for anything to happen!! Didn't get to bed until after 1:30AM. It was non stop. Woke up at 4:15 and had two more BMs. Barely made it to the bathroom. Got the second dose down (it is such an awful taste, I stared at it for about 25 mins mustering up the courage!) This time the effects were immediate. The only issue is that after one hour, I vomited spontaneously and as one can imagine, with the force of the projection, I was exploding at both ends. It was so humiliating. On top of that, with all the wiping, my bum is so sore I can barely sit now! My procedure is in 2 hours and I am afraid to drive there. Not sure when the second dose effects will stop. Scared!"


"I found this medicine to be a life saver. After my first month of treatment for CLL/SLL, I was thrown into chemo-induced anemia extremely quickly. After having a rough week with a small fever, my hemo-oncologist gave me a shot of this and one week later I thought I had been reborn! Terrific stuff and will help platelets out magnificently! Give it a shot, no pun intended. Feel Better & Take Care!"


"I am taking this for a regular toe infection I can't see the actual impact on my toe due to a bandage so I will talk about the side effects and ease of use. The tablets go down easily with water but remember to have something after to get rid of the after taste. I haven't experienced any major side effects except for a mild dry throat many people are saying they have had a metallic taste and they are right but with my pills (250 mg) I struggle  to find it worse than mildly irritating you don't care if you genuinely need anti-biotics. it is there but when you really need the medication this shouldn't matter"


"Patient age 81. Have taken Flomax intermittenly for two years.  Urologist switched me to Rapaflo to improve urination and split stream.  No significant improvement for flow or split stream.  Within two weeks all ejaculate stopped.  Completely dry climax.  Discontinuing Rapaflo hoping ejaculation will return."


"After reading a few reviews I wanted to post my own experience with the NuvaRing! I've been on it for a year and a half, almost two years now and I recommend it to every girl! I love it, my periods are super regular and always on time - also not to mention it's way lighter than ever as well as shorter! Everyone's body reacts differently to everything. Overall, I'd recommend it to anyone to at least try it and see how you feel on it."


"I have tried amitriptiline, citalopram Paxil Gabapentin and now Cymbalta I sure have noticed a big difference thank goodness I was ready to give up."


"1st pack down- I love it!! Clear skin, prevents pregnancy. I did get extremely large beasts and they were very tender, but if it made them larger I don't mind the tenderness."


"The side effects are NOT WORTH dealing with! I've tried this medication twice and while it was the only drug I tried that helped my depression/anxiety, the side effects were killing me. I would feel sick for 3 hours  after every dose, whether I would eat with it or not. It made me constantly hungry during the day. It caused me to be so exhausted and even angry. I finally weened off of this medicine after gaining almost 100 lbs in 5 years (3 years on, 1 year off, 1 year on, now off). I only went back on because I thought the weight gain was my fault and after losing so much of it, swore I'd never gain it back. Back on Effexor, back came the weight. I feel so much better off this medicine now and wouldn't recommend this drug to my worst enemy"


"I have been on the NuvaRing (NR) for about 6 months. Although it is extremely convenient, I have had the worst mood swings EVER. The mood swings over power the convenience of the NR for me. I have also gained about 10-15 pounds, which is not normal for me at all (20 years old), low to really no sex drive, headaches, nausea.  I know side effects are different for everyone, but I wanted to let someone else know my problems before they have to deal with them.
"


"I was put on this infusion because Sulfazine was unsuccessful in controlling the Crohns and rheumatoid arthritis.  It was reasonably effective for 6 months but I never felt really well and was always achy, and then I had an anaphylactic reaction to it (I was particularly run down at that stage following a flare up).  Spent 10 days in hospital and was then put on a weekly dose of Humira - I have not looked back!  That was 15 months ago.  With Humira I no longer even have rheumatoid arthritis!"


"I have been on Enbrel for 15 years...and it is truly a wonder drug! It cleared 99% of my affected areas.

For the first 4 or 5 years I injected myself once a week....then for several years I injected my self every 10 days. Results were the same...very positive! For the last few years, I've injected myself once every 2 weeks...and the results remain positive. I tried once every 3 weeks for awhile, but the plaque began to show up again...so I went back to once every 2 weeks.

I say again...ENBREL is a wonder drug!"


"This forum helped a lot to adjust my expectations. Expected terrible experience (a lot of side effects sufferers reviewing here), so not so bad. Drank the Suprep cold through a straw in four swigs. Diluted solution with half water, half Gatorade frost, and followed with 32 oz of 3/4 water - 1/4 Gatorade frost.  Kept a green Jolly Rancher nearby but didn't need to use it against the taste. Best tip to me was to use a squirt bottle of warm water and blot with tissue from the first expulsions to the end to avoid a sore bottom. There are dozens of episodes of watery expulsion during this 2-stage process! Also kept to a low-fibre, high-hydration diet for several days before the all-clear-liquid diet day. Clean as a whistle."


"Efudex successfully combated skin abnormalities that my doctor had cancer concerns about. I used Efudex for ten days and then stopped because of blistering; they were small, but covered my face. It's been almost two months after my treatment and I still have an unsightly, coarse rash. The steriod cream I used five days afterwards eased the appearance of the rash, but because of concerns over skin thinning, I could not continue with the cream."


"It's simply a miracle."


"After seeing my ob for some problems with menstruation,  I was sent for about 10 different blood test to check my hormone levels.  Let's just say that we found the source of my problem and I was referred to an endocrinologist. She wanted to repeat my TSH level cause she said that being at 3.65 was a little high for someone my age. So I went back within 4 weeks to get retested and my TSH was 10.36 and I was feeling it. I was so tired I could barely get out of bed. My headaches were out of control and I gained about 10 lbs in a months time. I just started 75mg Synthroid a few days ago so I'm feeling optimistic. I feel once we get my pituitary adenoma, thyroid and my vitamin D under control I'll be so much better. ADVICE: listen to your body."


"Hormonal birth just didn't work for me I was on nexplanon but it made me crazy also caused crazy yeast infections, so I have the ParaGuard a shot, when I went in to get it done the only thing that really hurt was the thing they used to clamp ur cervix but there was cramping but bare able but I just finished my period but there was a lot of blood like everywhere I didn't even know but right after just some spotting a little bit of cramps this is day 2 no cramps or anything feel no different which is good but I heard a lot of different thing I really hope this works out will update later on"


"This was the first mood stabilizer I was put on when I was diagnosed BP2 and I've been on it ever since, which was about 9 years ago. I love this med- I've had NO side effects. I'm on 500mg which is a very high dose but I'm also very treatment resistant. The only negative thing about this med is that I can't go on birth control. I have horrible mood swings and pain around 'that time' and birth control would help, but besides it lessening the effect of the birth control it also lessens the effectiveness of lamictal. There may be some birth control pill out there I can take, but my pdoc, and gyno haven't found it. :( Besides that this med is amazing & I'll never go off of it"


"I've been using the blue pill for years but my last experience left me with hiccups the rest of the night, anyone have this problem."


Monistat 1-Day or Night Combination Pack

"I just inserted the stuff and about 30mins later I felt a light itching I also had to pee, so after I peed there was a burning feeling that felt like fire and light throbbing in my vagina. Feels like Satan is skipping inside my vagina it's the worse feeling I have ever had. Idk what do this is my first time using it and I'm embarrassed because I'm afraid to tell my bf I have great balls of fire in my vagina."


"Okay, I had this thing put in my arm 9 months ago. I've also had a very very heavy period for 9 months. After 5 months of non-stop bleeding, I asked my doctor to take it out. She refused and put me on estrogen pills. 4 months later and I'm still bleeding. I have no energy, depressed, I can't lose weight at all even when working out & eating healthy. Horrible, horrible experience."


"I first was using the pill and that made me have my period for 2-3 weeks straight. I don't know why I didn't just get the patch in the first place! I love the patch. It's one less responsibility I have to deal with. I've been using it for 3 months now and so far I never had a pregnancy scare. The downfall of this (because of the type of person) I get every symptom. I got rashes, I threw up before, my boobs get so tender when my period comes (but that always happened even before taking the patch), and my mood swings are crazy! But this only happens when I put the patch on after taking the week long break.  After a couple of days I'm perfectly fine. I do recommend the patch though. Just because I get all the symptoms doesn't mean you will :)"


"Was put on 30mg. All was ok... at night got a good sleep... for maybe the first 8-10 days but depression returned as soon as I woke in the morning. After the first initial 8-10 days it stopped working altogether. My Doctor told me this might happen..but to ride the storm for another two weeks as sometimes it takes your body a while to adjust. After 4 weeks went back to the Docs he put me on 45mg. Been doing that two weeks now and it still doesn't work. In fact I feel just as bad if not worse than I did before I started it. I've seen other reviews about Mirtazapine where it really works for some people and others it just doesn't. Don't think I'll take anymore, side effects ain't worth it."


"I've used this product for 12 weeks now my comedone acne completely cleared after 8 weeks of use. Broke out a lot in the first 8 weeks but once I reached 8 weeks and onwards my skin has drastically changed. Would definitely recommend this for comedone acne and do try and persevere as it take at least 8 weeks to work."


"I took Provigil for the first time yesterday and for the first time in as long as I can remember I felt hopeful. My tremors decreased and I had energy for the first time in years. I am so happy and hope never to stop taking it. Magical little pill."


"I was prescribed this for insomnia.  First night it worked well.  After that, I only got a few hours sleep, which is what I got before taking it. The side effects were horrible.  Nervousness, trouble urinating, constipation and chills. I'll stick with OTC medication.  They do as well without the side effects."


"Very good for nausea and shaking."


"Whenever my eczema gets to be too far advanced that the creams just don't cut it,  Prednisone is just the thing to clear up the eczema. I have it on my hands mostly and being a nurse,  I can't possibly work with my hands full of blisters and swollen as it gets."


"It works the best for controlling my pain on a daily basis. I have two herniated disc pushing on my sciatic nerve."


"I had unprotected sex a few days (2 or 3 days) before my expected ovulation. The condom broke, so if I was fertile, I was definitely going to be pregnant. But we went to Walmart and bought the plan B; I took it after about 3 hours because I had been reading reviews and got scared about the potential side effects. But I didn't get any horrible side effects from it; only light cramping at random times. I started bleeding about a week afterwards. It didn't feel like a normal period. I'm pretty sure it was just my uterus shedding itself. This lasted a week. It was kinda heavy at first and began to taper off each day that went by. And there was only light cramping  (thankfully). My normal period came after 4 weeks. (So it was a week late.)"


"Works quite well for me. I have been on every med ever and even Accutane 3 times with no success. I have severe acne and simultaneous all over skin infection. 2 things- dairy if any kind sets it off and it's so much worse. Avoid dairy like the plague. 2- depends on how you skin is infected.my skin gets affected very often with Staph and so Bactrim and Keflex work really well. For people with p. Aches bacteria - erthromycin is awesome. But the sad fact is that over time it won't work as bacteria becomes resistant.

I am seeing endocrinologist to find out what foods I am eating that seem to cause my body to make excess hormones and attack my skin. Best of luck all! Don't know what I'll do once I'm off Bactrim.

I feel great and zero side effect"


"No side effects, unfortunately it didn't cure my condition. Now on doxcycline, hopefully that cures this wicked infection."


"I was prescribed this medicine for stress and anxiety to take along with my clonazepam. Have been on Celexa for only two days now and am having bad sexual side effects (unable to orgasm). Will stop this medicine asap. "


"YES, Lunesta 3mg provides me GREAT REST! It seems to not have the tolerance problems that Ambien has. I've used Lunesta for over a year (when required). It did give me metal mouth taste but after a while I began to look for that taste when drinking water during the night. I guess some will adjust to this side effect. Other side effects, a hearty appetite, hunger for sweets, loss some libido but still tolerable. The bad news is the maker was granted an extension to its exclusive rights till 2015 which means no generics till then and the highest co-pay every month! It's the high price of a quality nights sleep."


"Month 1 ok. Nothing that noticeable Month 2 extremely tired al the time. No patience, over emotional, beyond ragey. Full period on second week on the pack. Dry flaky patch on my usually non acne face. Headaches, some abdominal cramps. Want to give it a chance but the tiredness I can't deal with ...the side effects of feeling depressed."


"I get migraines- about 20 migraines a year and maybe 7 more that feel deadly: blurry vision, severe body tension, diarrhea, vomiting, feeling like I'm paralyzed, sobbing, etc. I've had them for over 15 years. I've been on many medicines with no improvement. My father gets migraines too and when he had some success with Treximet, I tried it.  Now, rather than hours of pain that occasionally brought suicidal thoughts, I have pain for 30 minutes and then suddenly it's gone.  I sit up against a wall, completely still for another 30 minutes before I feel confident that it's gone. There's no migraine hangover and I'm fine to go to work again the next day.  My only side effect has been dry mouth.  Thank you Treximet."


"taste was not bad. My doctor had me take a laxative the day before drinking super prep. It made a big difference. all told this prep is 1000 times better then drinking the gallon prep. my insurance cover total cost of the prep. do not believe all the negative posts"


"Not as effective as Caverject but a lot easier to use"


"After trying several of the top ten antidepressants and never feeling exactly right - and gaining at least 30 pounds per episode - after only 2 weeks on Pristiq I have never felt better and have energy and the desire to live and exercise."


"January 2014 I had my son. On March 2014 I got the Nexplanon put in. Didn't want another kid. The process wasn't too bad a slight sting from the numbing medicine so they can insert it into your arm. My doctor put it in and everything was fine.  A side affect that I have that's beyond annoying is I haven't stopped bleeding since I had my son! It is four going on five months now and I still haven't stopped bleeding (not even for a day or half a day) I went to the emergency room once I started having some pain in my lower abdominal. After running some test and doing an ultrasound they couldn't figure out why I am still bleeding. I feel it's the Nexplanon and plan on having it removed ASAP!!!"


"I'm blocked up (change in routine, travelling, change in diet, stress ....) - so I go to the pharmacy and select Dulcolax Pink - it says it's GENTLE and works in 6-12 hours.  Take it ONE PILL at 7pm - up from 12-2am with horrible tummy pains and the urge to vomit.  It's now 9am - no bowel movement.  Still feeling queasy and blocked up.  NO RESULT - JUST MORE DISCOMFORT.  This is not a winner! :((("


"I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and have been on 3 or 4 pain relievers since 2008. I am now on 10mg IR x 3 daily and 30mg ER x 3 daily. I am getting very little relief; however, I have read many reviews where people taking Opana praise the medication. On the pain scale level, I am generally at 7-8 w/o the medicine and 5 or 6 with the Opana. I guess I need to talk to my provider and see if there are some different options..."


"I started Saxenda on July 28, 2017 and weighed 178lb. I did experience nausea the next day but nothing crazy. It is the only lingering symptom. However, it is manageable with Pepto Bismol. After 20 days, I lost 13 lbs - weighing 165lb! I am currently on 2.4. and will increase to 3.0 on Friday. Aside from the slight nausea, I have no complaints about this medication."


"I have had resistant depression for about 3 years. Started Abilify 2mg two months ago and feel like a new person. I can get out of bed in the morning and go to work. I have a desire to do things again with friends. Don't spend the weekends in bed anymore! I am so thankful--this has helped me tremendously."


"I have been on this birth control for several months now. I was switched to it because my other birth control caused me to have anxiety attacks because of the hormones. This one is great, I have had absolutely no side effects. The only difference I have noticed in my body is that the skin on my face is very sensitive. I have gained no weight and my periods come on time every month and last about 4 days. Very happy."


"I was recently hospitalized during a manic episode.  I have been treated for bipolar going on 20 years ( I'm 41). I have been on Zyprexa and other medicines for anxiety.  I am a rapid cycler (frequent manic episodes). I have tried all the meds from A-Z. It's been a awhile since I've tried Depakote, but it's the first thing they put me on in the hospital.  It's been 15 days I think it's ok, but when I lay down I feel like weights are holding me to the bed and I seem to get disorientated as to my location in the house ( weird right??). When I get up all is fine again. If anyone has experienced this please share, it would really help.  Let's face it "regular" people would freak just having this discussion.
"


"Me and my boyfriend we didn't intentionally have unprotected sex but the condom broke and neither of us knew until the deed was done. And we both weren't mentally ready to become parents. I took this less than 30 minutes . And few weeks later I got my period a little late. But better late than never. Don't overthink trust me it works!"


"I went on Aviane to make my periods lighter. It definitely helped in that way, but I've now been on it for 5 months and I am constantly hungry. I gained 15 pounds (120lbs to 135). Although that is the only side effect, the weight will not come off! I've been increasing my amount of exercise and it's only making me gain more. I weighed myself yesterday and I went up to 140lbs. "


"I was recently diagnosed with endocarditis a deadly heart and blood infection due to being an IV heroin user. I needed to be on IV antibiotics for 4 weeks but the fear of WDs kept me from staying in the hospital since the docs wanted me to go cold turkey. Finally thanks to the dedication of my PCP she was able to coordinate with a medical hospital to detox me and give me the IV therapy that I needed then put me on suboxone to continue treating my addiction. But in order to take the sub I had to be heroin free for at least 2 days. I was panicked about how bad the WDs would be. But the addictonologist I worked with prescribed the clonidine (a patch and up to 3 doses orally a day) and I have to say it was a godsend. It got me through it."


"My good friend started Keytruda in the beginning of the year after all other treatments failed for his adrenal cancer. He looked terrible and lost over 30 pounds and he looked like he has a month or two to live. Keytruda and shrunk his two tumors dramatically and thanks to Merck my friend is still alive."


"I've been on promethazine for about 2 years and it is the only medicine I've ever taken that actually works for nausea. I also take tramadol which has a bad interaction with promethazine so I only take it at night as it also makes you sleepy which could be a bad thing if you needed to take one early, but 1 25mg tab shouldn't make you too drowsy."


"I am a 39 year old female who has been taking 120 mg of methadone daily to help with opiate addiction. I was addicted to opiates for 8 years after having several different surgeries over a 5 year span. My addiction took over my life I was doing things I'd never otherwise have done to support my habit eventually losing custody of my son which was my breaking point. I found a local methadone clinic and it saved my life and I got custody of my son back within the first two months of starting methadone treatment. The downside is the 80 lbs I've gained and the loss of several teeth but honestly that's a small price to pay to be off the horrible rollercoaster ride that drug addiction becomes. I thank God every day for this second Chance at life."


"I am diagnosed with Bipolar I, and I get psychotic and paranoid when manic. I also have severe, debilitating anxiety since I was a young child. Finally, my psychiatrist found the right drug combo, which is seroquel, remeron, klonipin, and temazepam for sleep. I have been in remission for 5 years, hold down two very demanding and stressful jobs. I do not feel over drugged and I am so happy with Klonipin for my anxiety. I take 3 mg daily, 2.5 at night and .5 in the am. No side effects, my mind is sharp as a tack and no mood swings or psychosis for 5 years!! I think everyone's bodies are different and what works for some may not for others. I have not raised my dose in over 5 years and I have no high feeling or any cognitive side effects."


"I just started a few weeks ago and it has helped stabilize my mood, give me energy. Not noticing any major side effects.  I've had some headaches, some light nausea and some crazy dreams. But I've always had crazy dreams. Other medications gave me much worse side effects. Effexor seems to be working for me. My daughter says that I'm "funny" again.  I love that!"


"I have been taking it for three days and I have no cravings but I haven't been able to keep any food or fluid down, I've been really tired. The first night I had hallucinations and was hearing voices"


"Made me drowsy but could not sleep. Could hardly function the next day. Dizzy, unstable and disoriented."


"I went on Jolivette 6 weeks postpartum. I've had issues with uterine fibroids at age 21, so at age 24 they didn't want to risk it with an estrogen pill. Here I am a year later, gained 60 pounds, on depression medication, lowest libido ever, moody, horrible periods, oh AND I'M PREGNANT after the first time not using back up birth control like condoms. All thanks to Jolivette. Thank you, Jolivette. You had 1 job, and you failed miserably."


"I've been using parlodel for many years to treat high prolactin levels and it has been a success! My levels dropped. I feel normal again."


"33 years of drinking and one stint in rehab later and I still was keenly aware that I was an unrecovered alcoholic.  Finally decided to ask my doctor for an Antabuse prescription (coupled with active engagement in AA).  Taking it in no way diminishes the craving for alcohol. But it will stop you from drinking if you take it. My doctor says I can take it for the rest of my life if I want and since I am serious about my alcoholism, I see no reason not to. No side effects at all!  Even when I have wanted to use (and could), I don't because of what I know would happen. Anyone serious about stopping alcohol consumption is crazy not to use Antabuse. I have seen too many people relapse and that will not happen using this product. Love it!"


"After suffering with migraines for over 10 years Topamax has been a life saver. I had tried several other medicines but they would only work for a while and then stop working for me all together. I have been on Topamax for over a year now and went from 4 or 5 migraines a month to one every couple of months.  I am currently taking 200mg/day (100mg in the morning and evening). Side effects are minimal compared to the agony of having migraines all the time."


"No bad effects so far."


"I was very nervous after reading other reviews,  but I actually found Surprep to be not too bad. I mixed with water, and when drinking it I used Sprite for a chaser, but didn’t need to drink the Sprite too often. I finished the evening prep, slept about 6 hrs, then did the morning prep and my waste was completely clear like urine. It had not been the night before. Glad it’s all over now, and really, the whole process was much easier than I expected. My anxiety after reading reviews was pretty high, and that anxiety turned out to be unfounded."


"Yes, you will sleep. But you will also say and do some really weird things."


"I had horrible stomach pain before during and after bowel movements for 3 years before I saw a GI doctor and was diagnosed with colitis (not ulcerative). The GI doc prescribed me these after she saw spasms during my colonoscopy.  They definitely help take the edge off. I use them a lot to nip the problems in the bud, so to speak. Once in a while though my symptoms are too severe for this medicine to work. But 90% of the time, this saves me a lot of discomfort."


"just doesn't seem to help"


"I took exactly one pill and woke up the next day with the worse headache : top of my head hurt, temples were squeezing, had pressure in my eyes, and couldn't tolerate sounds. How ironic that people take this to prevent migraines! I was done after 1 day. This came after 4 days on metoprolol (sp), which had
left me exhausted and short of breath, so I wasn't exactly 100%.  B.P. went up somewhat the day I was on this. Headache left as soon as I went off it. (Was put on valsartan right after, and had terrible back/spine pain from that.) I think I am done with meds. Maybe I'll  do yoga."


"My Cardiologist prescribed Azor over Enalapril.  In less than a week, I ended up at the hospital with several headaches, tremendous constipation, fainting spells, etc.  Azor is extremely expensive; it might do the job of controlling the blood pressure.  At the same time, it gives the patient 5,000 different side effects.  It should be taken off the market.  Thank you."


"I was prescribed this medication after years of IBS-D.  I was in the restroom all the time, sometimes 22 times a day.  All my tests colon oscopy, MRI, CAT, ultra sound all clear.  I was excited there was something might actually give me my life back.  Day 1 I didn't see a difference just bad cramps, Day 2 about a 25% difference in bathroom trips but still cramps, Day 3 cramps and pain in right side off and on, Day 4 Severe Pain in right side and vomiting. Stopped taking immediately and contacted Doctor.  Medication caused severe spasms in my gallbladder, It's now been 7 days still in extreme pain and waiting for referral for ultrasound to see if I need my Gallbladder removed.  What I thought would give me my life back made everything worse."


"Found Xtandi to be a waste of time. Instead of aiding or lowering my PSA it raised it to 90 from about 15 when starting it. There was severe fatigue and dizzyness. Not satisfied."


"I was diagnosed in June 22, 2012.  Started Tysabri August, 2012. I have never taken any other disease modifying medicines. I am JC negative. MRI in July 2013 shows no new lesions, no active lesions. I have never had a side effect from Tysabri. When I was diagnosed, my right leg shook so badly, I could barely walk.  I have drop foot, and weakened thigh and hip flexor muscles.  These symptoms have improved slightly.  I do not know if it is due to Tysabri or just how my MS is presenting.
I chose Tysabri because I fall into the optimum category...no other meds and JC neg."


"Helps ALOT, without the help I wouldn't be able to get out of bed and live a " normal" life as just being able to enjoy my children, grandchildren their laughter smiles and even their tears.  Instead of being in my bedroom in the worst pain ever. "


"I took two years of Tamoxifen, without much side effects that I cannot manage. I took Femara for one year and could not even turn my head and had joint pains to the point I could not turn my head when I was driving. Now I just got off exemestane after 6 months as I cannot sleep even with sleeping pills. I am five years out from chemo and doctor still wants me to take the pills for another year and four months. "


"Medication helped with frequent urination. I was able to sleep all night finally. Gave me severe dry mouth and sinus issues. Had to stop taking."


"I'm 25 and a little over 1 year ago I had my first seizure, grand mal. I had no warnings or auras and I fell and hit my head; leading to me being in a coma for 3 days. I started on Dilantan 100mg twice a day. I started having loss of coordination, slurred speech so I was switched over to Lamotrigine and was taking 25mg twice a day. That seemed to work nicely for about 4 months when I got up to 150mg twice a day. One morning I woke up with this giant nasty rash on the side of my neck and down the right side of my side and stomach. It was an allergic reaction. I'm now on vimpat 150mg twice a day. Only side effects I have with the Vimpat is I have serious issues trying to sleep, unexplained noise in my ears. However, I'm still having seizures!"


"I have been using yaz for about 2 months now and it as made my acne so much worse. I never have cystic acne in my life and now I'm getting it all over my cheeks where I never use to have acne. My acne was mild before but now looks severe from all the red marks of healing old hyper pigmentation. I'm 15 and obessed with my skin, and can't look people in the eyes and go out. I'm so fed up and I'm going on accutane in 3 days. yaz may work for some people but I'm telling you it throws your hormones to wack no matter what in the first month. Only difference I have seen on yaz is my whiteheads are smaller but skin is a lot worse over all. wishing you best of luck for finding something that works for you!"


"I have been on these patches for about 2 years. I started out on the 25 Mcg's and now am on the 100 Mcg's, and I change them every 48 hours. They work great. I also am on Oxycodone 15's 1-2 every 4-6 hours for break through pain, but I usually do not need to take them that often. I have a rare muscle condition that causes extreme pain. during the years prior to being on these I  have been on just about every type of pain medication,(narcotic and non-narcotic) that you can think of. I must say that these are by far the best and I would recommend them to anyone that has real issues with pain. they are not for people that just have occasional migraines or back pain."


"My experience with Lunesta was a bit difficult.  The brand name (which I never believed was any different than generic) worked WONDERS for me for years!  But after insurance, was $50 per month.  You get this lovely (awful) metallic taste in your mouth right before it kicks in, and it stays - so trick is to brush your teeth AND tongue, drink OJ, it'll pass.  Then the generic came out (YAY CHEAPER), and ALL I got was the metallic taste.  No sleep.  If you need sleep and have the $, go brand name and enjoy your slumber!  2mg was the perfect dose for me as 3mg made me a bit drowsy."


"It's a miracle product and I've just learned that Glaxo stopped manufacturing in 2014! It shrunk my enlarged pores and prevents any new breakouts - best medicine I've ever used and now scared they will stop producing it.  I've been using it over 8 years now. The out of pocket was a lot but it's so worth it and nothing else works like it."


"Took 2 tabs in AM and  2 in pm for a bowel motion in the AM, horrible stomach cramps, not worth it just use milk of Magnesia no cramps and with right dose bowel movement in 2-3 hours and no cramps just drink hot liquids for a couple of hours !"


"Although I have gained 20 lbs on this medicine I feel much better overall. I take 125mg at bedtime and haven't slept so good in 25 yrs. I started on a dosage of 25 mg which did nothing. Not even make me sleepy.  Had immediate relief after the dosage was regulated. This in conjunction with anti anxiety medication has helped tremendously. I just have to exercise daily and keep a watch over what I eat. But that is a small trade for the drastic change in my overall well being and frame of mind."


"I have had great success in lowering my blood glucose levels using Jentadueto and Invokana together.  I have experienced no serious side effects and would recommend that all Type II diabetics speak to their doctors about these wonderful medications."


"I played football in college and took a severe hit in the back. I now have 4 bulging discs, and 2 deteriorating discs in my spine. The doctors gave me Oxycontin right away knowing the pain I was in. That was 4 years ago and today I take (2)80mg, (1)40mg, and (8)Percocets 10/325's daily. Last summer I was able to run a 5K race. Oxycontin has given me back what was stolen from me in college. I am 90% pain free, and have no regrets about being on this drug. I can't recall ever having any side effects."


"I was diagnosed in September 2012, Started on compaxone with relapses and cognative issues. After about 6mths I started Tecfidera. I initially had the flushing which went away after about 6mths. Some hair loss but I have thick hair. No new lesions or relapses since I started tec! It was a miracle drug for me! No issues or problems since."


"I've been on Trinessa for three years now. I love it. I do have mild nausea at the beginning of the cycle if I don't eat much but other than that it works pretty well. Overall I really like it. I had problems with weight gain before I started taking it and it has caused me to lose weight and if I don't eat enough I will just keep losing a ton of weight. I don't get headaches from it and no abnormal bleeding. The only thing I might have to say negative is that I get pretty Moody sometimes. I used to be happy go lucky before I took this and now I'm more emotional. Maybe it's just me getting older. I've been on it so long I can't really tell!"


"So I have been on the Depo shit for well over a decade and decided to opt for a different method due to the weight gain, headaches and bone density concerns.  I have to say I was so scared about the procedure since I had heard nightmare stories about how painful it was.  However, it wasn't that bad at all, like a slightly more intense pap smear but it was over quick.  I had almost no cramping or bleeding (probably due to just stopping Depo) and it has been great so far.  I have already noticed a small amount of weight loss and haven't has a headache for a while.  Like mentioned before everyone is different so I'm grateful my experience has gone so well but I will post again if anything changes."


"It made my hair fall out."


"Qvar works for me...However, for the third time my inhaler quit working before I used it 120 times. A year ago first failure, the inhaler quit working with 12 doses left in it.  Second failure 7 months ago, with 15 doses left. Today my inhaler quit at 17 doses.  I clean my inhaler as instructed.   I cleaned them each time they failed. No help. Cannot find an email address for the manufacturer. They owe me a third off on my next inhaler. That is more than $45.00.  Will complain to my insurance company and their pharmacy"


"18y/o with anxiety/ depression  I was given medication for the anxiety originally and then the doctor gave me fluoxetine 20mg, this was fine the first week, no side effects.  Second week, I was living in a constant state of panic, beta blockers weren't helping and I always had chest pains and severe panic attacks. I couldn't stand to be in a classroom full of my peers, they made me feel paranoid about everyone. I absolutely hate these."


"Works great and quick.  Will make you tired and sleepless at night.  But for all that, you are rearing to go in 5 days. "


"Pain from a tooth worked for 3 hours per pill felt like too much coffie. would not recomend.

turned my skin dry and now i have a fever blister under my nose."


"I am a 65 year old male and I acquired Crohn's Disease in 1965 at age 19.  Remicade was approved by the FDA in August of 1998 and I was given my first dose the next month.  Back then, they only administered 2 doses. I received the second dose 3 months after the first one.  I have had no further doses since then.

When I got the first dose I was in the midst of a flare, and I had an actively draining abdominal fistula.  Three days after the first infusion the fistula closed of its own accord and I happily avoided yet another surgery for Crohn's (I have had over 20 surgeries).

I have been SYMPTOM-FREE since the second infusion.  I have more health issues now, but at least they are not Crohn's related."


"I've been using Pristiq for two and half months to control my chronic ear pain and depression.  Like most antidepressants there are side-effects.  Looking back it wasn't always easy, but I would do it again."


"I would recommend this stuff. I am battling with gastritis caused by predisone and I have not been able to poop for a week. So I took this stuff and magic 7 hours later...coffee and tea really help"


"I LOVE my Nexplanon. I have been using an implanted contraceptive since 2003, starting with the Implanon (2003, 2006, 2009, 2012). When it was time to reinsert in 2015 (my fifth insert), the brand had become Nexplanon. Absolutely zero side effects for me: I never gained weight, my skin stayed clear, no headaches, and my periods got lighter. I will stay on Nexplanon until I menopause."


"Had constipation side effect. Effectiveness greatly diminishes after 1-2 months.
"


"I'm in the beginning of month two on Loestrin. I've always had crazy periods, so my body is still adjusting.

I've had spotting the last week or so and my period just started before it was supposed to, but I think it's because I haven't been taking the pill at EXACTLY the same time everyday.

I'll quit taking it for a few days to let my period run its course, then will start again and hopefully keep things under control.

So far I have had no weight gain, no moodyness/anxiety, no crazy acne or anything. I have had minor cramps here and there but that's about it! I'll leave another review in a month or two!"


"Had abdominal discomfort, burning sensation, and blood after urination. Urgent care diagnosed me with an UTI. They prescribed this for me and after taking one pill my symptoms started to subside. I have only experienced slight headache but no other significant side affects. My urine however did turn a different kind of yellow but when looking at the packaging this is normal and doesn't warrant concern. Great antibiotic."


"I've been on Chateal for 3 months now and I did not gain weight, nor did I get crazy mood swings. The only thing that happened was my period came at the same time every month and I didn't get pregnant. It works great!"


"The z pak cleared up my bronchitis right away.  However it almost instantly caused symptoms of  gastritis and pancreatis that made me very ill for five months.  I could eat very little but was rapidly losing weight.  My doctor found low liver and kidney enzymes and suggested futher tests.  A endoscopy, colonoscopy, ultrasound, several lab tests and $1700 later there was no diagnosis but after five months i gradually got better.  The next winter I got another cold that turned into bronchitis and was again prescribed a z-pak.  Almost immediately the same symptoms occurred and I was just as sick for another 5 months.  This time the connection was clear - Z-PAK."


"ive had the implant in for a couple of months about 4 i think. i got it since i cold no longer take the pill which was making me ill so i wanted this. in the first month of having it i didnt get a period i suppose this was my body was of slowly adjusting. ( the adjustment for anyone is different) when i did get my period  in October i was on it for an entire week and then had a break of about 2 weeks before being back on it again. now going into my 5th month of having it im getting periods each month or so. im personally hoping my periods will stop   but again its different for each."


"Did not work in reducing anything but the pain. Sore remained to get bigger and bigger, regardless of how many time I wash my hands and apply cleanly. Try garlic and apple cider vinegar. Cost less and works so much better than this stuff"


"I was prescribed Augmentin 875(?) to be taken twice a day for 10 days to try and prevent infection from a bad cat bite. I did experience symptoms, but because I suffer from IBS it mostly seemed like an IBS flare to me. The looser stools started on day two, but they were not diarrhea. That was it until around day 8 when I bloated like you wouldn't believe. It was all up in my stomach and nothing gave me relief. However, I continued on taking my pills and my probiotics and finished a couple of days ago. The side effects were not pleasant, but they were much less unfortunate than I was expecting after reading reviews. I never got an infection from the cat bite, which normally leads to one in about 80% of people. So, the drug worked!"


"Made me psychotic, Messed up my sleep (go to bed at 5 am and wake up at noon)

And the worst part is, it didn't help.

Later my doctor then prescribed me adderall, then ritalin, then a bunch of others, all did the same thing

then i decided to go to a holistic doctor, now i'm on synaptol (a natural "medicine") and i can now actually focus at works."


"So my experience with the Skyla IUD is when I first got it, I was in terrible pain. They didn't give me any pain medicine like some of these people are saying they got numbing shots; I didn't get to have any of that. I took 2 Ibuprofen before the procedure because I was warned of a little bit of pain, but it turned out to be way more than that! I will NEVER put another one in my body. It was the most awful experience I've ever had. When my doctor put it in I had excruciating pain and felt like she tore my cervix. I know not everybody is the same. Afterwards I had cramps for about 48 hours and then after that I had a period for over a month. I ride dirt bikes have a high pain tolerance. Id rather get stitches again than get another iud"


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"About 30 minutes after taking this I would get really bad heartburn."


"At my wits end. Fibromyalgia began to make me FEEL depressed - I figured an SSRI class medicine wouldn't be all bad. Had a hard time with Cymbalta, but ready to try anything. Within hours after taking first dose began violent mood swings that woke me up and sent me keeling over the toilet with nausea from so much anxiety. when I fell asleep I woke up and began crying. It was..weird. My persistence with increasing dosage only re-affirmed nausea. So my medicines for IBS were pointless. Anxiety increase led to increase in anti-anxiety medicines. Unsure how to feel for a while.. It cured a bit of fogginess but I think exaggerated other symptoms. I was a raving lunatic with a tummy ache. Didn't feel like me."


"I tried Saxenda for 15 days and I did fine, minor symptoms. Since my insurance did not cover it I waited 2 month to purchase the medicine. I started the first week at 1.2 then move to 1.8 but on the second day I began to had a lot of burping and upset stomach with growling, last night I felt terrible but after burping and using the bathroom I felt better. I purchased 2 boxes (10 pens) and I am on my first and about to quit. One thing I should mention is that I ate more yesterday than I normally will on this medicine, which was a concerned since it should help manage hunger. Hope someone can help me if you had the same symptoms and got better, I would like to stay on it  least until I finish what I purchased. Thanks"


"I had unprotected sex on 7/19, approximately 4 days after ovulating, which ended in the guy ejaculating deep inside me. I'm not on birth control so we freaked out and I took Plan B 12 hrs later. I felt extremely bloated, got headaches and strange pangs in my abdomen, and dealt with thick white discharge and anxiety about my situation for two weeks, as the side effects do make you feel pregnant. My period was due 7/31, the day I'm writing this and it came right on time!! Wasn't sure about the effectiveness of the pill after ovulation but the heaviness of my flow and the accompanying cramps are making me confident i'm in the clear!"


"I have been on this for almost two years and I am so glad that I am on it! I gained zero weight (I actually lost weight), I am not moody, my skin is smooth and clear, the periods are SO much better! I only get a little bit of a flow and the cramps are minimal. I actually barely get a period anymore, but my GYN said it was normal."


"I STARTED PHENTERMINE ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND HAVE LOST 3 lbs. I AM ONLY ON 15mg. MY DOCTOR MADE ME DROP 15 lbs BEFORE SHE GAVE ME THE PRESCRIPTION DUE TO THE FACT WHEN YOU STOP TAKING THE PILL IF YOU DO NOT HAVE GOOD EATING HABITS YOU WILL GAIN YOUR WEIGHT BACK AND SOME. THE FIRST THREE DAYS I DID NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT FOOD BUT I AM STARTING TO FEEL LIKE I WANT TO EAT AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN FEELING DIZZY SOME PARTS OF THE DAY. I AM GOING TO GIVE THIS THE 30 DAY TRIAL BUT I AM PRAYING IT WORKS."


"This medicine reduced the pain but immediately caused severe swelling of the legs and feet.I also had constant dizziness.I could not tolerate the swelling and weight gain."


"Been on the patch for almost four months now and I love it! It is much more convenient than taking birth control pills everyday, most of the time I forget I even have it on. The first month I experienced really emotional mood swings and a really heavy, long period. Those side effects have really tapered off since then, I'm still slightly more emotional during my period and it still can be a little heavy the first day or two. Nothing too bad at all and I think the longer I'm on the Patch, the better it'll get. It is also completely free with my current insurance plan. And the best part, it is effective! All in all I'd totally recommend it"


"Musinex D worked great to clear up my chest congestion that two rounds of antibiotics didn't touch. But I didn't know that a side effect was insomnia. So, although I started feeling better soon after taking it last night, I was well aware of how good I was feeling right on up to 3am!  I asked the pharmacist at our local store if Musinex D could have caused the insomnia, and she said yes, and not to take it at night."


"This drug should be banned from use. I'm in agony with cramp in my stomach. Last night I thought my head was going to explode and I've not been able to go out today. Feel so low in mood, tearful and lethargic."


"I got Nexplanon January 2015. Had no periods until March 2015. After that my period lasted for 6 months straight which is presently September. I have bad headaches and horrible mood swings. My doctor prescribed me 2 different hormones to try and stop the bleeding but nothing worked. I am getting this out tomorrow!"


"I was prescribed 500mg 2x day for 7 days.  I am on day 3, side effects so far are fatigue and flu like symptoms.     I have not experienced the bad taste.   Hopefully this works have never taken this before."


"My mother was on this as well for 6 weeks when the delusions started. The pharmacist said that it would take a little while to get out of her system. I did see a major improvement in her short term memory! Maybe the drug makers could alter the recommended dosage to once a week since this seems to be a build up before we see the delusions happen. I didn't want to take her off of it because of the improvement, but I did not want her to continue to wander out of the house because of the voices she was hearing."


"I love Levaquin.  No other antibiotic even touches my sinus infections.  My head starts to drain within hours of the first pill.  Sinus pressure that I didn't even realize I had starts to go away the first day.  The dose is generally only 1 pill a day, which makes things easy to remember.  Often I will have sinus problems after dental work.  I take Levaquin and my sinuses aren't irritated, don't swell and my teeth hurt less.  I highly recommend this antibiotic.  The only problems I ever experienced were occasional dry mouth and mild diarrhea on the first day."


"I'm 18 going to be 19 soon. I had really heavy periods for 8 days straight and my period would come a week early. It was regular just less than a month until each one and I also had really bad cramps to the point where I couldn't move. The pill was my first option and it made me bleed for 3 months straight. A while later I was considering birth control and I finally chose the Depo-Provera, it was the perfect choice for me. Once I got the shot I never got a period/any bleeding again. I personally didn't gain any weight. All the side effects didn't bother me. And works well against pregnancy. I've saw a lot of bad reviews but mine was perfect so everyone's body is different. I would recommend talking to your doctor. He/she will know what's best."


"I started Lo Loestrin Fe 3 weeks ago, and so far have had a great expierence on it, no weight gain,(Ive actually lost 3 lbs) and if anything my moods are alot better, no nausea, no headaches. Overall this pill is good so far. I was put on this due to very heavy bleeding every month, and clots the size of plums coming out every 10 min from me. I had a DNC to try and correct bleeding before I started the pill, and that worked for 2 months, then went right back to the same thing, bleeding like crazy for weeks with clots. About 3 days into the pill my bleeding has completly stopped, no cramps, no clots. I worry about the weight gain, so hopefully I will not gain. Overall I think this pill is doing its job and I would recommend."


"They do not work. Days later I am way worse then I was. They do nothing to the cough. This drug is a joke. Do not take!"


"I"


"Have been taking this medication 50mg twice daily for six months now. I am a 48 yo white male in good health but I do have various pain issues due to years of full contact sports in my youth and working construction most of my adult life. I have had carpal tunnel release surgery in both hands and have a plate and some screws in my right hand from a boxing fracture. I also have knees that ache and pop and shoulder and elbow issues as well as pain and spasms in my back. My doctor put me on diclofenac and my elbow shoulder and especially my hand issues respond greatly to this medication. The back and my knees not so much and use other medications to help with them. Usually after about a half hour my hand pain and stiffness is gone. very happy"


"I was prescribed Bentyl  for vomiting and having diarrhea.   I had been having severe cramping  and was having   sporadic severe cramping during this bout of illness.

I have learned more about this medication reading the comments here that I learned reading the "literature" on it (thank you all).  Based on what I have learned,  this medication may be something I will want to continue in an as needed basis.  It helps urgency as well as constipation (I have MS,so these are very important) gas, and even my menstrual cramping!   Not a cure, but a great help!"


"I have moderately severe acne.  I've tried all topicals and nothing has worked for me. I finally went to a dermatologist March of 2015, 90 days of doxy 100mg as well as differin cream. I noticed a huge difference fairly quick. At the end of I would say 30 days my skin was totally clear, minus my scaring! I continued to take the rest of my prescription. This antibiotic doesn't have permanent results. I was 100% clear for 7 months, it slowly came back around month 6 and now I am starting a new cycle of the same thing. The side effects were zero for me, I've heard accutane (where the results are a lot more permanent) has made some people suicidal so I have no objections to doing this once a year!"


"I have been using Epiduo for a week now and wow has it made a huge difference. I have tried many other products with no success. For years I saw the Epiduo commercials and just ignored them. (A Huge MISTAKE) I am 16 years old and have had a big acne problem for years now. I am so glad I finally suggested to my doctor to try this. I will say that it hurts, but during the day I wear an oil free facial lotion. I wear the Epiduo at night. I am getting used to it and so far I am very pleased! I wish someone would have suggested this to me years ago!"


"I started taking Orsythia about a month ago. Since then, I’ve been depressed and I have no clue why; I have also had more anxiety in the past month than I have had in the past 3. I read that others have had some anxiety and depression problems while on Orsythia. However, I am not as overly-emotional as I was on the birth control that I was taking before this one. I’d honestly be overly emotional 24/7 than depressed often. I don’t have very noticeable cramps but Tylenol helps take them away. I also have gained a couple pounds while on  Orsythia. I would not recommend this to someone that has a history of anxiety/depression because it will drain you. Many others have also had this problem while on Orsythia"


"Have been using Fentanyl for over 3 years now, and wonder what kind of shape I would be in if I hadn't been offered this medicine. It is definitely working for me and I am so glad I was a candidate for it."


"Tapentadol 50mg four times a day when required for pain .
Before Nucynta I was taking Opana IR as well as extended release formula usually alternating the two every couple of months. Pain relief is controlled  best by Opana for me personally.  However several side effects have required a change so Nucynta  was chosen. Works great no freaky side effects and less intoxicating effects. "


"I have been on Westhroid for two weeks versus Synthroid off and on for four years. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos this month.  Westhroid had me feeling like myself within a week. Synthroid had me miserable, nauseous, constant headaches. Westhroid is for me.
I am glad I went the biologic way and I am taking my health back."


"This morning I read reviews about Liletta in a last minute approach to prepare myself for it getting placed today. It was inserted about 2 hours ago and thus far the worst part was the 45 minute wait before I was seen. The procedure itself was very quick and only mildly uncomfortable, it took about 5 minutes total. I'm on the last days of my first period since giving birth to my son 7 weeks ago. I'm not positive if either of those things are factors in the ease of the procedure for me, but it was basically a breeze. I've had some light cramping and back pain, but I'd much rather have that once than to take a pill every day."


"I felt better than I have in 20 years! After 20 years on NSAIDS needed for Lyme arthritis, my kidneys were affected, and when I stopped NSAIDS cold turkey, it was amazing how much pain my body was in.  Now a year into Plaquenil I feel like a new person. Get eyes checked every 6 months.  Had a little visual aura two days ago, don't know if from Plaquenil, but getting it checked next week.  Eye doctor said it wasn't serious."


"I had a colonoscopy a few days ago. Was extremely nervous.  Went to sleep so quickly.  Woke up 1.5 hours later in recovery to be told my BP dropped significantly low and be sure to tell that if I ever had to have surgery/procedure again.  I was a complete chatterbox for the first 30 minutes after waking but felt wonderful.   I did question why a 15 minute procedure kept me "out" for 1.5 hours and would not have known that my BP dropped if they didn't tell me. I can't say don't use this but I won't endorse it either."


"I started this supplement with high hopes.  I was given it to boost the effectiveness of the Pristiq I'm taking.  After using it for over a month I'm disappointed.  Really have experienced no change.  I'll keep searching for the right combination of meds."


"This drug caused me pain and blood in stool. It provided no benefit for me. I will never take this drug again."


"I drank this medication for three days but instead of getting better I got worse day by day.i started experiencing diseases I have never had in my life. This is the worst medication ever,i wouldnt recommend it to anyone."


"I have had a severe case RSD/CRPS1 since 2007, as it began with an injury to my spinal cord in 2006 after a fracture. I have been on, and am still on, many medications to treat different aspects of it. I have been taking Savella since 2009 to help with the severe burning in both my feet, as well as my legs and pelvis. I also experience something that feels like a red hot fire poker sticking in the bottom of my foot. Savella has been the only medicine that has helped reduce these symptoms- and I have tried every single medicine out there for nerve pain/burning- either with horrible side effects or no results. Savella has worked the best. The only issue is I do notice headaches as I titrated up on the medicine."


"Dude… I've only had this yeast infection for 2 days and now I'm taking that stuff today and I just want to say that I feel like my vagina is on fire. I know this treatment is effective but there has to be a better way. This is crazy."


"I started this medication 5/8/2017. I had severe nausea and headaches the first 3 days and then nothing after that.  It has decreased my appetite but no weight loss as of yet. I have decreased my carb intake and drinking more water added exercise.  So I am hoping to see some results by week 2.  If not then it will let me know its does not work for every body type.  Just frustrated with the weight and this stomach apron."


"I felt the need to share my experience because it was very unlike the majority of what has been shared  here. A lot of these stories had me scared to death.
So, my pain tolerance is VERY low and I thought this was going to be the worst pain in my life. Long story short, it really wasn't. Of course there was a sharp pain, but after that wave, there was only about a minute left and then it was over. I also went and got it put in  on my period to help reduce the pain. I would rate it an honest 9/10 pain for about 30 seconds. The cramping afterwards was pretty strong like a 6 or 7/10, but pain meds should help with that. The cramping was pretty mild the next day. There was additional blood with my period which has lasted a couple extra days. I have no regrets."


"I have been on Lolo for just over a year now (after I finished breastfeeding my son) and have had no negative side effects. The pill has not caused any weight gain or losses, change in attitude or sex drive. I haven't had a period in about 4 months now and it is slightly alarming that the pill is changing my cycle so much, but as long as I can still have more children when I am ready and my period comes back once I go off of Lolo, I consider this to be an excellent birth control pill!"


"I have been on nexplanon for 2 and a half years now. The most terrible experience ever. No you won't get pregnant, you'll be bleeding so you will only RARELY be able to have sex. I bleed in 3 month intervals, 3 week intervals, and 1 month intervals . I am always bleeding, no telling how much I've spent on tampons ! Trying to get an appointment to get this thing removed !!!"


"I began feeling very anxious and getting anxiety attacks almost every morning. This went on for months and finally I told my doctor. She gave me a low dose of Xanax and it helped a bit but once it wore off, I had to take more since my anxiety returned. I asked my doctor to put me on Lexapro and I swear, it started to work almost immediately! I have been on it two weeks now and I've only had one minor anxiety attack, and every day I'm feeling a little better. I'm already feeling much calmer and more peaceful and I only take 5mg at night. My sleep is better too! The only side effects were nausea, and diarrhea (which are subsiding) and weight loss (which I don't mind). I'm feeling so much more hopeful now, and I had almost lost hope."


"Amazing diet pill. I don't usually give reviews but I had to share my experience. I have been overweight for a very very long time. I've tried numerous diets and workouts but I haven't been able to shed the extra weight. Within 1 week on Belviq I noticed a difference and so did my friends and co-workers. At week two I had to take my belt down a notch. This is my third week and it feels amazing."


"I have been on quite a few antidepressants in addition to Xanax.  The antidepressants made my anxiety and panic worse, needing to increase my intake of Xanax when on the antidepressant(s).  I was really reluctant to take the Xanax when I was first prescribed the medication.  I have been of Pristiq for 8 months now and have lowered my Xanax from 1 mg in the morning, 1mg midday and 2 mg at bed.  I am now taking 0.5mg in the morning and 1.5 mg at bed.  I am taking vitamins, doing yoga and taking better care of myself. My doctor knows, I am honest. He wanted me to take 2mg every 8 hours but never did. My Mother just died a few weeks ago and have been getting really bad anxiety and still the same dose helps me.  Hope this helps."


"This was the first IUD I've ever tried, no kids and wasn't planning on getting it so I didn't take any ibuprofen. I had it placed in June, cramps from insertion lasted a full 2 weeks with spotting everyday. Spotting later turned into daily bleeding and following up with OBGYN, I've now been bleeding a straight 3 months and go in next week for another ultrasound and plan on having it removed. Terrible experience hurt really bad getting it in and now I'm sure will hurt to get it removed. The strings like fishing line so I could feel them as well which was sort of annoying"


"I was having terrible mood problems and depression. The doctor prescribed me Lexapro...and I guess I never realized I even suffered from anxiety until now.

The results were beyond amazing---mood has been lifted noticeably...but the kicker...and VERY unexpectedly-my cervical pain was reduced by about 97% -and tension I dealt with nearly daily (I thought from the imperfection of my cervical vertebrae-because I had a 2-level fusion about 11 years ago and they've spotted a slight bulging recently in the C4 vertebrae, which is right above the fused level) and I could finally-FINALLY-get off of pain medication, after relying on it for a decade to make my days bearable! Many yrs of pain mgmt.-and an unexpected med takes care of nearly 100% of it!"


"No side effects whatsoever!"


"I have had anxiety disorder with some symptoms of OCD for most of my life. This medicine works wonders. I feel so much more calmer with it. I feel a little slow after taking it but when you have high anxiety your "slow" may be the average persons "normal". It is certainly worth a shot. I am a 250lb man and I only take 300mg with great results. Never tried a higher dosage yet."


"It doesn't work that great for pain but it does wonders for restless leg syndrome and stuff similar to that"


"Anyone taking clonazapam, PLEASE take note.  Took it for RLS and I loved it, got great sleep with no apparent side affects. Thought this was the answer until dosage had to be increased to be effective. Been on 1.5 mg for seven years and when it stopped working, I then learned the hard way you must wean off very slowly and the detoxing is horrible! This is what no one tells you! Had I known it would be like this, I'd NEVER have gone on it...and I do understand the trials of RLS! Nothing is worth this! Look up side affects of stopping clonazapam and how long it takes to detox, you'll be shocked...I was. Felt like I was going to die (and the really bad stuff doesn't start until 3d or 4th day being off..., look out)! Please be informed!"


"I have used this medication in the past with very good results. In fact, I felt so good, I stopped taking it. It took a few months, but my symptoms came back.
I was prescribed this medication for bipolar disorder, rapid cycle depression. I recently found myself with extreme panic, agoraphobia and I've been going from elated to depressed every few hours.
I resumed the medication @25mg. At night and even the next morning my symptoms abated from a 10 to a 5. This medication takes several weeks to exhibit it's full potential, so if the drowsiness is a side effect you can live with for a month or so, then quetiapine may be for you."


"I have ADD, anxiety and depression. I began 100mg once a day for a week then went to 100mg twice a day. You have to give this medicine time to work. The first I was thinking of not taking it anymore because it made me feel so tired. But I'm so happy I stuck it out! My overall mood, attitude and outlook has improved tremendously. My mood and attention is consistent, unlike when I took Adderall and would experience crashes. This medication has made a world of difference. I'm less anxious and happier."


"Although it started off good, this med slowly made me develop Akathisia to the point of it being unbearable. I started off on 10mg and it was increased to 15mg, by the end of it I wanted to amputate my legs just to make the feeling go away.  I was 24/7 agitated, restless, constantly pacing around and fidgeting, getting into arguments and screaming at people. My doctor prescribed Clonazepam but it did nothing to take it away. Eventually I had enough and stopped taking Zyprexa altogether, and within only 3 days all of these symptoms disappeared and I was back to normal.

By the end of it, even though I was only on it for 3 weeks, I had gained 30 pounds. Awful experience."


"I have tried all types of pain relief. Finally I found Salonpas gel on the shelf at Walgreens. I'm a nurse and the long hours are taking a toll on my back and hips. I must say it works wonders. It's worth the odor, which goes away after a while. I have shared the Salonpas gel with 5 of my friends and co-workers. They all love it. Unfortunately the price has increased since I started using it. Anyway  I can get coupons? Greatly recommended. Even better than steroid injections and pain pills."


"Had no problems falling asleep only I would wake up to use the bathroom and stay awake for hours.  Since using Ambien, I only take 2.5 mg. I find I can fall back to sleep easily several times a night.  I wake up feeling very well rested and full of energy.  "


"I'm a 29 year old male that experienced a bad car accident in 2008.  I broke my back at L-3, 2 ribs, busted my head open, and got plenty of road rash from being ejected. The passenger side door where I was sitting was completely ripped off as the car tossed, flipped and hit a tree backwards and upside down at 55mph. I was ejected into the road, when I gained my footing, another truck hit me. (Good/Bad) He was the one that called 911 and fled the scene. So I dunno if anyone would have seen the black Mustang in a ditch upside down at night had I not been hit. Multiple CTs and MRIs found much more damage in my back from L-3 to S-1, DDD and Spondylosis, Arthritis. I've tried all the painkillers, Opana ER 40mg twice and Opana IR 10mg works for me."
