"I loved this pill!  Was on it for 14 years.  I never gained weight from it or had mood swings, my period was always light and predictable.   I went off the the pill completely 9 months ago because I am married and 30 ... but I have decided that I want to enjoy some years with my husband and don't want to use condoms or worry about becoming pregnant.  Dr. apt booked later this month to get back on this pill.   While I was off the pill I have been having headaches, insane pms, cramps, my skin has become oily, and my boobs have decreased in size :-(.   Hoping when I'm back on the pill this will subside again"


"This medicine worked wonderfully for my pain from Undifferentiated connective tissue disease . I am 49 years old. After taking it  I had virtually no pain which gave me the energy to get things done. Unfortunately after taking it as prescribed 3 times a day for a few days, I had a bowel movement that was black diarrhea. So I’ve been afraid to take it anymore."


"I have done very well on Gilenya. I was very hesistant at first because I was on Tysabri for 4 years (which worked great) when they did a study and found out I had the JC virus. It took me about 6 months to decide what to do, but after going to two of the best neurologists, and both of them recommending Gilenya, I went forth with that decision. My doctor said a small relapse would be normal in the first 3-5 months since my body would still be adjusting. I have never had a relapse since being treated. I have been on it for 6 months. If you are going to do it just do it with confidence and positive thinking because if you stress about it then any medicine you try may not work to its full potential. It's hard not to but just trust in your decision."


"The directions say to dissolve in the mouth but it's very bitter. Does anyone else have this problem?"


"Within one hour had panic attack, crying, heart racing, nauseous, dizzy and sensitive to light. No appetite. No problems sleeping but was very scary. "


"Took for 3 weeks, halfway through I started getting headaches, lightheaded and terrible burning in both eyes. I stopped yesterday, burning still and lightheaded. No more Xiidra for me."


"I have used Risperdal several times over the last few years. Originally, I was taking it for ruminating thoughts (I call it busy head) and difficulty sleeping. It definitely helped slow down my thoughts and allowed me to sleep better.  After my son was born, I was having some postpartum depression and went back on Risperdal.  It helped with the kindling and agitation, but I did gain about 10-15 pounds on it.  When I stopped the medication, the weight fell off.  Most recently, I'm using it as an adjunct therapy to Neurontin and Trileptal for agitation and anxiety. I have emetephobia and this has been the only thing that has allowed me to be around my phobia and not have a panic attack and an ER visit.  I do not like the weight gain."


"I had a complete hysterectomy when I was 23, I am now 45. I have taken the pills, shots, creams, patches and this is the only thing that actually works for all my needs. I'm so thankful. It's worth the money!!!"


"After experiencing horrid headaches during the placebo week of the pill, I opted for Mirena. I had been on the pill for 5 years. The insertion was painful, however, after a minute or two I felt no pain. There was light spotting for the first 2 weeks, but no spotting since (now 1.5 years in). I have had no periods since having Mirena inserted. I rarely think about the IUD. Every few months I'll get a brief cramp and remember "oh yeah no more cramps, periods, or birth control pills!" I did experience pretty bad hormonal acne along my jaw line, but this is because I was on the pill and went off it. If you rely on the pill for acne treatment be prepared to head back to the doctor for a topical treatment."


"I'm only on day 4 and already feeling a difference. I'm a 33 year old male and have been depressed for about 5 years and also suffer from anxiety in the form of being a chronic worry wort. I would find things to worry about. It's almost ended my marriage. I was brought up in a world where therapy and medication was taboo.  At the urging of my wife, I saw my physician this week and she put me on 20 mg and therapy. I'm only 4 days in, but already noticed a calming effect.  The only side effects I've noticed thus far is drowsiness, but it seems if I take a quick 5-10 min nap after feeling drowsy, I'm good. My physician says it will go away after a few weeks. Haven't had sex yet so I can't comment on sexual side effects."


"I use this products on cold sores and it is a dream come true. Works great on keeping cold sores under control (but only if you catch it early) and even works on acne! I noticed a big red pimple on my cheek, dabbed some abreva on it before I went to bed, and it was 99% gone in the morning!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"It gets a 10 for effectiveness, a 1 for taste, and a 5 (neutral) for side effects. My mom did Dulcolax and Miralax (both OTC) for her last colonoscopy and that's probably what I'll do next time if nothing better comes available. I WILL NEVER USE SUPREP AGAIN. I was able to get the first bottle down with the help of ginger ale (I divided the bottle into 2 glasses with water, and drank the ginger ale separately). It took an hour to do this. The SuPrep was very cold and I used a straw but it did not help much. The aftertaste is horrific and made me want to puke. I did get chills; it started working 20 minutes after I finished. Got down 1/2 a bottle the next day. Luckily my Dr gave me it for free cause I couldn't afford it. THE KEY IS YOUR DIET"


"I have been on this for 3 weeks, and I am not impressed. But since my dermatologist told me to try it for two months (and I've read others' reviews), I am going to stick it out.

I didn't have horrible acne to begin with, but I was starting to get bad cystic ones on my checks, especially during my ovulation and menstrual cycle. So my doctor recommended this med. After the first week, things started to get worse! Now on week three and I have the worse acne I have had in a long time!! It is pretty embarrassing, especially considering I wasn't too bad before I started this drug.

I am hopeful that things will get better, and my face will clear up, and stay clear even during those cycle times.

But right now it is awful!"


"My neurologist prescribed Nortriptyline for Neuropathy. It did not help much for that condition.However, at the time I was suffering from severe depression due to having to place my husband in a nursing home. The medication did wonders for me and I have been a daily user since that time."


"I was prescribed olanzapine as an off-label mood stabiliser for clinical depression. It took away all my positive emotions, leaving me feeling permanently "grey" and essentially soulless. I lost interest in all activities I previously found enjoyable.  In four months of "treatment" I'd gained 4 stone, and couldn't stop eating. Only now am I coming off this, a process which has been extremely difficult due to a resurgence of the condition the medicine was treating. "


"It helped with my OCD intrusive thoughts, but made me VERY agitated and a feeling of skin crawling.  Even at 1/4 of a tablet and I was really anxious."


"I've had 2 shots and go for my 3rd one the 14th of this month. I never bled when I got my first shot. I didn't bleed at all until August I bled for an hour one day and that was it, it happened again in September, and not again until now. I started after I had sex with my boyfriend one night and bled the next day but it quit that night and it wasn't bad. I went the next day without bleeding until that night, I bled but not much at all. Didn't bleed for 2 days and then it came back but it was brownish. This has happened the past 2 weeks. I know I get my shot in a few days but it's never been this irregular. But it hasn't made me lose my lose my sex drive at all and I haven't gained any weight on it."


"I went on Accutane in two cycles back in 2001 and 2002.  Nothing works as well as this medicine, but the dry lips are a bit hard to deal with - if you're like me, I would take dry skin and lips over acne any day.

I still get breakouts every now and then, and am considering a 3rd round (6 years later).  I would definitely recommend it."


"Lamictal helps with my bipolar depression. I haven't felt helpless or hopeless since starting the medication. I take the maximum dosage of 200mg twice per day."


"4-17. I was so skeptical to take the medication Suprep (based on the possible side effects). I took my first bottle at 4:30 (did not drink the entire 16 oz at once) I drink big sips until I finished then waited 30 minutes then I drank another 16 oz of water and waited another 30 minutes then finished. Took effect within an hour and half I started. I just got a small bother some headache but is going away from now. My is very clear I haven't really have gone to the bathroom that much, since I stop eating yesterday. If I managed to handle without food another day then I don't need to drink the second bottle since I am clear now. So the bottom line works ok for me."


"11 months since I have smoked... 11 MONTHS! I have never quit this long before.  And it's all thanks to Champix.  I never thought I would be a non smoker but here I am. I was on 3 different inhalers and a chronic cough. But it's all gone! Stick with the chamix peeps! It WORKS!! I smoked for 35 years, a pack a day and I am now a non smoker! "


"I am 54 years old and I suddenly came down with shingles on my right side of shoulder and back. When I took the Valtrex after 30 minutes I felt sudden relief. It didn't take away the pain but in combination with the Percocet I was able to live, not survive. Shingles are very painful and I don't know what I would have done without Valtrex. I would recommend it to anyone suffering from a viral."


"Horrible birth control. I can't take regular birth control due to having breast cancer in my 20s. So they gave me this...severe cramps from the beginning and horrible back pain. It made me miserable, some say to wait it out but I stopped it in the first week. I would rather run my risk with regular birth control than to ever take Nora be again."


"I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia two weeks ago. I took 30 mg for 1 week and just went to 60 mg. I am losing weight and not hungry on Cymbalta. The nausea wore off after a few days.  I am incredibly tired and want to rest all day until about 2-3 hours before I take it again right before bed at 9 pm.  I am hoping this side effect will ease and plan to ask my doctor if going back to a lower dose may help so I can go back to work.  Love it except for the fatigue."


"My biggest problem was ease of use.  The patch did not stick well to my cheek. It would often almost immediately start to roll in on the edges, sometimes ending up as a small cylinder and other times ending up completely stuck to my teeth. The rate of absorption was thus very different from dose to dose. I wasted quite a few Patches because I would often have to re apply. For me, this dosage form was not easy to use and not consistent.."


"I have been in so much pain over the past 2 yrs. My neurologist has tried EVERYTHING! I have taken every medication there is. Every narcotic available. Nothing has helped except my oxycodone 15x5 a day and it just took the edge off. My doctor put my on Exalgo along with my oxycodone for breakthrough pain and I started to feel normal again. I was told I have small fiber neuropathy along with a list of other horrible things and I can say without a doubt that this medicine has been a miracle for me. I have gone from not being able to walk from time to time and being in so much pain to feeling normal again. Don't get me wrong. I still hurt but hey I can handle this hurt! What a blessing!"


"Save your money. All positive reviews are written by investors of this product's stock."


"I've been taking Gianvi for about 4 months now and at first I really enjoyed it. Now I'm feeling nauseous, my breasts are swollen and painful and I've had a headache every other day for a month. I've also noticed a slight weight gain and I'm moody as hell not to mention my sex drive is gone. I'm so frustrated I want off this pill and back on my old one, Ocella. I'm calling my dr and demanding to switch back so I can stop being a monster and enjoy my sex life with my fiance again."


"I cannot really say if this medication works, as I had to stop it due to side effects.  I began to experience tinnitus day 1, mild at first.  By day two it was much more noticeable and unbearable.  I have been off the Contrave for three days now and still have tinnitus.  My doctor advised it could take up to a week or longer for the tinnitus to subside.  I'm hoping it goes away soon, it is very unpleasant!"


"I was feeling like I was in a hole and couldn't get out  of it.  Nothing was working. I am now on lamictal and abilify and within a week I was feeling better. I take them both at night I don't know if that makes a difference,  but I always wake up early with lots of ENERGY and ready to do whatever. Which before all I could do was lay in bed. I hope I don't gain any weight, I haven't yet and haven't experienced any over eating and I'm on 10mg abilify and 200mg of lamictal. So they have both worked wonders for my depression.  With no side effects that I can see yet."


"I'm 45 years old, with formal detection of gout since last 10 years and am on Probenecid now. Initially I was prescribed Allopurinol by my general physician (6 months only), but during my subsequent visit to Rheumatologist, he suggested me to get tested for ALT/AST levels which were high. On account of this my treatment was changed to Probenecid. Currently my Serum Uric Acid is on an average between 5.2 to 5.8, and occasionally it shoots up to over 6/7 if I eat excess proteins, drink beer etc."


"I've been on Haldol for 5 years. I have schizophrenia. This is the only drug that has worked over the period of having this illness. I don't feel I will ever be symptom free there's no magic pill, but since being on this I've been able to manage things much better than before. Really great. I don't like the possibility of the involuntary muscle disease (can't remember what it's called) but I will take that risk to have this benefit."


"Not helping me I'm in terrible pain,  unbearable at times"


"I have been on Nuvaring for 3.5 years. I almost immediately experienced major mood swings, crying, getting offended by things that normally don't bother me. However, the convenience and the fact that my severe cramps and heavy flow greatly diminished, made it worth it to me. But as time went on, after the first year or so, I began to notice my sex drive wasn't as strong. Two years in, I had zero sex drive whatsoever, and three years in I experienced many more side effects. These include severe cystic acne, 12 lb weight gain, headaches, nausea, and my mood swings have worsened. I feel anxious all the time. So, tonight I took it out and don't plan to put one back in again. I did go off the ring once before for a month, and felt normal again."


"Very Happy. Vimovo worked just as the Doctor ordered. Best of all, NO STOMACH ACHES AFTER."


"I just finished a round of nitrofurantoin and had the worst symptoms of fever, chills, insomnia, bloating, and headaches.  I eventually had to go to the ER and was subscribed another antibiotic.  It is working fine."


"It works but you’ll get fat as hell. You can’t stop taking it due to the horrible withdrawal symptoms and sex drive will crash. Erections will be lousy too."


"Three days after starting the 7.5/46mg dose I experienced severe tackycardia and respiratory distress. I ended up in the hospital for 5 days on telemetry and oxygen."


"I got the nexplanon sometime in March after I had my daughter . I was fine until 3 weeks ago , I started having terrible mood swings and really bad anxiety attacks along with depression. Before I was pregnant I had it in for 3 years and had the same experience but I didn't think anything of it at the time . until it came back twice as worse this time . I took it out yesterday so I'm hoping and praying I go back to normal asap . I wouldn't recommend it at all !"


"According to the manufacturer and my dermatologist, this gel does not get absorbed by the skin, hence will not cause systemic side effects.  Experience says otherwise.  After applying it to my athlete's foot, including infected toenail, I became extremely dizzy.  The side effect disappeared upon discontinuance.  Later, the fungus spread to my groin, so I thought I would give the gel another try.  Again, I became very dizzy so washed it off.  I recovered immediately upon doing so."


"22 Years on mass amounts of steroids to treat my Addison's...22 years of vomiting most days. Many hospital stays. Severe gastroenteritis. First time trying this. It's amazing! It was prescribed by a lovely at doc at my last trip to the ER. Sometimes you get lucky. My eating is broken. I'm a vibrant, beautiful 42 year old woman, and I've been reduced to a meagre 100 pounds. This helps. So far. Fingers crossed."


"Although Apri was very effective in doing its main job, preventing pregnancy, the side effects were very bad. I had perfectly clear skin prior to going on Apri, and about a month after starting I started having very severe break outs. I had noticeable mood swings that were not present before going on Apri. After being on Apri for 5 months, I have now switched to Sprintec which is a pill with a higher dose of estrogen. After being on Sprintec for a month I have noticed my skin clearing slightly and no crying spells before my period. Works better for me and would recommend it over Apri!"


"Soma is by far the best muscle relaxer that is under the "muscle relaxer class". Even with extreme stiffness and spasms that have been left untreated for years, Soma is the only muscle relaxer that provides relief. Many doctors won't prescribe it because they say it can be abused, which is a joke. The FDA doesn't seem to like meds that actually work. It's 100X superior to flexeril, tiziadine, etc. Soma works different -- it's the only muscle relaxer that slows down the nerves instead of just causing central nervous system (CNS) depression. All other muscles relaxers only do CNS depression and their theory is by slowing down the body, the muscles will relax. Not always true. Soma does CNS depression AND it works on the nerves. Best there is."


"I switched from a combined pill to Nora-Be about four months ago because the doctor said I couldn't take estrogen because of chest pain and migraines. The pill is 100% very effective and no mood swings, no migraines.  However, the bad side effects were excessive hair shedding I mean more than the normal, excessive bloating even without carb intake.  I also had cramping, hardly bleeding just spotting.  My period was never on time but can feel the symptoms of PMS.  Overall, pill is very effective but excessive hair loss!"


"I was prescibed  pregabalin for leg pain associated with Spinal Stenosis. The first prescribed was 225 mg daily. Side effects extreme tiredness and swollen ankles. When I tried to stop this drug I experienced severe anxiety and feelings of gloom. Went back on see and say the pain clinic who advised tapering 25mgs every 2 weeks. I am down to 50mgs am and pm. The withdrawal is one of the hardest things I have been through and cannot wait until this drug is totally out of my system. Lesson learnt to research prescribed drugs, their side effects and withdrawal before blindly accepting them."


"I was on this for a few months. I couldn't function at all. Although I did lose weight. I'm trying risperidone now. I really hope it works for me. All I want is to be mentally sound...bi-polar/panic anxiety disorder."


"My son was prescribed the drug just before summer.  It worked great at the beginning but now since school has started the drug is not working.  He is very moody, impulsive, short tempered, sad and depressed.  This is not my son.  I also have a friend who's son is also on it and is doing great.  It maybe worth a try, just watch for the side effects."


"I have bipolar1, general & social anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder and borderline personality disorder. I've been on pretty much everything over the last 14 years. Seroquel worked well for over a year but the weight gain was awful. Regular exercise and healthy eating. Lithium and Lamictal replaced the Seroquel and seemed efficient, couldn't handle the nausea anymore after 2 yrs. 5 weeks ago I decided I wanted try Saphris. Psych agreed, decided to start low and slow as I tend to have allergic or increased anxiety with most medicines. Started on 2.5mg for a week. I literally felt better the next morning. I had increased energy and felt happy for the first time in over 10yrs. I'm up to 5mg pm, 2.5mg am. Anxiety decreased, and down to 1.5mg of Klonopin daily from 3mg. This is a miracle for me! "


"I had taken Adderall, Concerta and other ADHD medications which all caused me to lose my appetite, get moody or come down from it and I felt I wasn't able to be myself. Strattera took a few weeks to kick in, I fell asleep constantly for the first two-four weeks (I know lots of people jump the Strattera ship then saying it is not working or making them sleepy) but after 4 weeks I started to feel like myself again. Except my mind got clearer, I could organize my room/now apartment, do all my school work, do everything I need to do, have better conversations and do not binge eat. I take 40mg and have had no side effects from it. It also helps my anxiety. It is my miracle."


"First time using alesse been gaining weight like crazy my mood swings are all over the place my period been starting a week early so now my period lasts about 2 weeks. This pill is definitely not for me"


"Started with 300mg at night with no significant improvement in symptoms. Second week 300mg night, 300mg day.  The daytime dose knocked me out, feeling drowsy, dizzy and fuzzy thinking. Cut back the daytime dose to approximately 150mg - same results.  On top of that the burning and tingling got worse. Doc had me stop all medicines. Glad that many get wonderful results, but not me. (By the way I'm not diabetic, no thyroid problems and no alcohol use)."


"I was told for years Prozac would be great for me. When my doctor told me about Prozac for my hot flashes I signed on ASAP. I was hoping for a double whamie. Yes, they took care of the hot flashes rather quickly and the happiness side a bit later. I am on 10mg and would like to get a larger dosage. Next conversation with the doctor. TRY IT."


"I have been on Lexapro for about 10 days. I noticed it working after about 3 days. My anxiety has completely dissipated. I have had severe social anxiety since I was a very young child, to the point that I just didn't speak most of the time. I battled with it for over 30 years on my own, thinking this was just the way I was. Finally, a new job and career caused my anxiety to sky rocket, rendering me unable to do my job properly. Since starting Lexapro I am now more free and less self conscious. I am talking to people comfortably and enjoying socializing a lot more. I don't snap at the children and don't sweat the small stuff. I haven't gained any weight (or lost any) and I just feel more like myself. The only downside: tired all the time."


"I'm still waiting to see if it's Celiac disease or inflammatory IBS-D. After 3 weeks of constant diarrhea, dehydration and trip to ER tons of blood work all negative & stool sampes all negative and 16lb weight loss I got in with a GI doctor.  I'm waiting back for my inflammatory test & celiac disease test but in the mean time my GI doctor put me on bentyl 20mg up to 4 a times day to help with the diarrhea  which is the cause of the weightloss in only 3 weeks. It's worked wonders so far haven't had any diarrhea. I've only been on it 48hrs now. The only side effect I have noticed sometimes it makes my heart race a little for an hour. I have a follow-up with my GI in 3 weeks & hoping to come off of it and be back to eating normal, he thinks I had a viral that caused inflammatory IBS-D"


"I just started Linzess last week, and it's already made a huge difference in my life. No more struggling to go or ending up in the hospital. Yes, my constipation was so severe it was called obstapation. I have had 3 episodes this year alone in the hospital. Linzess has turned things around. No more. bloating, stomach pain or stomach distention. I'm happy to say this drug was a miracle for me!"


"I took 15 mg dose for about a year almost nightly. At best it only had a mild effect at helping me fall asleep and did not allow me to sleep longer than my usual four to five hours. Two unfortunate side effects occurred. Occasionally I would get sleep paralysis which is being fully aware mentally while your body is frozen in a sleep State. This lasts for a few minutes. The other unfortunate side effect is intense grogginess for most of the next day. I found that I spent much of the time during that year sitting in a chair during the day because I did not have the mental or physical energy to get up and do anything. Obviously one gets a tolerance for the drug soon and I would say that after about a month there was virtually no benefit"


"I was prescribed clonidine by my Doctor for hot flashes, one in the morning and one in the evening. It was amazing for the first year, until the pharmacy changed labs and bought a different pill, supposedly same dosage, but the pill is a different color, shape and lettering on it.
It does nothing for me anymore! I've asked the pharmacy to purchase the original pill from the original lab. They claim they are all the same....my body knows it is NOT.
I am still taking it otherwise I would have 15 hot flashes a day, instead I only have 8 to 10. "


"I was told Tamiflu was amazing but I didn't think it was going to be. I got the medicine the first day I discovered I had all the symptoms of the flu. I was running a fever of 102 and my body was killing me. It hurt to move at all. I took my first dose at night. I woke up the next morning and my body felt like I had experienced a miracle. My muscles weren't sore anymore AT ALL. I felt at least 50% better after one dose! I'm on day 3 of the medicine and I feel pretty good considering how the flu usually has you feeling. I predict I will be fully functioning by tomorrow."


"This prep tastes nasty to me.  I used ginger ale as a chaser which helped. White Cherry Powerade tastes too much like the prep so couldn't use that.  I did use Breathsavers after each gulp which helped. By the 2nd prep at 2am, nothing could help this go down.  I didn't think it cleaned me out enough but apparently it did because the doc didn't complain.  A couple things:  Gave me a terrible headache starting during the first prep which was last night.  Test was this morning and I still have the headache.  Only worse now.  I've also been fighting nausea all day long.  I did not have these symptoms with other prep.     So glad this doesn't have to be done often.   Hopefully they'll use another prep next time."


"Had side effects."


"I got the implant on the same day that I had a d&c procedure for my miscarriage. I thought my weight gain was just extra pounds I didn't lose from the baby and I just needed to try harder. I thought my depression and anxiety was because I lost my baby. It's been a year now, I've done alot of work. I haven't lost a pound. I start crying out of nowhere at work. I have no motivation to continue trying and have had a lot of suicidal ideation. I am getting this thing taken out of my arm on the 7th and I couldn't be more excited. I just want to be me again. Oh and I forgot to mention that almost every pair of underwear I own have become "period panties" because I bleed on a constant basis yet it's rarely enough to need a tampon. Yay.."


"I LOVED Otezla !!  Sadly I am an asthmatic - the multiple respiratory infections and the persistent coughing was too much - Oddly My pulmonologist read up on the drug and it has been used to treat respiratory conditions but it triggered my asthma -   Psoriasis went away !!! Skin looked amazing !!  Some diarrhea- but would have sacrificed that for the amazing results - wish there was an alternative"


"I no longer sleep all the time.  I have more energy and less pain.  The overwhelming sadness is gone.  The only weird thing is that I feel like CAN'T cry anymore...even when I want to.  But I will take no crying with the way I feel. I am like a new person.  Went from 30- 60 mg and feel wonderful."

"It didn't work for me. I have been sneezing while taking the medicines. I will go back to other allergy medicines."


"Not sure if these side effects are all because of nexplanon, but I've noticed the following after 1 and a half years of use:

- I'm in 11 months of chronic bloating (Dr says it's acute IBS?)
- I gained 10% of my weight after having the same steady weight for 12 years
- I sometimes feel my blood bubble around the upper arm where the nexplanon is placed.
- ringing eardrums almost every day
- my vision went from -1.0 to -2.5 in a year
- less frequent (1/2 a week): nausea, chest pains, headache"


"I took one tablet before bed as instructed. I was doing a bowel prep before a specialist ultrasound to assess bowel endometriosis. I woke the next morning feeling fine. Immediately needed the toilet, which was fine. But pretty soon the nausea hit. I ended up going to the toilet at least 5 times that day. The product definitely worked but boy the nausea was no fun - all day, intense waves, and stomach pain also. I would NOT use Dulcolax again"


"Went to urgent care for neck, shoulder, and arm pain. Had taken ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin, and muscle relaxants to no avail.  Given a shot in the hip. Felt tingling throughout my limbs but only slight decrease in neck pain. By the time I got home, less than 2 hours, pain was back at the same level as before the shot. "


"I have been on this for a day and my aches and pains have subsided.  I will not give it a 10 because I am not "perfect" yet.  "


"I am 20 w/ no kids. I got skyla b/c I had very painful periods and very bad cramps and I wanted some form of birth control that would atleast stop the bleeding. Insertion was painful for me. My boyfriend went w/ me and heard me scream from the lobby. I spotted for about 2 weeks after insertion. My first period was normal. bleeding got lighter and lighter until I no longer had to use a tampon just a pantyliner. After 6 months i stopped bleeding all together just w/ severe cramping throughout the month. My cramping never got better it is actually worse than before but atleast I don't deal with bleeding too. I still notice a couple drops of blood in my panties periodically. Cons: weight gain, NO SEX DRIVE. Good experience so far except cramps!"


"Eucrisa has helped the eczema on my face quite a bit, but it's so greasy that it's uncomfortable and has made my acne much worse. It would be great if they made a lotion version."


"I am currently 16 y/o & have been taking nortriptyline for about 6 years to treat migraines. I have been getting migraines since I was 8 or 9 and it eventually got to the point where migraines were a daily thing for me. After seeing a neurologist & trying out 2 or 3 other perscriptions, my neurologist prescribed nortriptyline. It worked for a while then my dosage needed to be increased, however I still take it to this day, once before bed every single night. The only time I get a migraine now is if I'm sick, skip two or more doses, or encounter a trigger, such as prolonged sun exposure, dehydration, large caffeine amounts, etc."


"This medicine is very effective for a nagging cough that won't quit, but be very careful with dosage. I once took 2 teaspoon instead of my regular 1 tsp dose and felt absolutely AWFUL - shaking, agitated, hot flashes, nervous, nauseous. "


"Had migraines since I was 6. The past 1.5 year's I've had migraine every single day. I'm now 33 years old and have this medicine since February this year. The first 3 months I had 25 mg, now 10mg. Headaches were completely gone. Since I have the lower dosage, it's coming back a bit so I will go back to 20 -25mg. This is the first medicine that's actually working so I am very happy with it !"


"I was prescribed Bactrim DS for a Paronychia infection on my right index finger.  There was no apparent abscess so the doctor felt a script of Bacrtim DS would do the job.  After taking the first pill I began to fill dizzy and nauseous.  Over the next few days I had barely any appetite and wanted to sleep all day.  I felt like I could not get enough sleep.  I was also extremely sensitive to the sunlight which only enhanced my desire to sleep more.  Over all the infection did not appear to change in the 3 1/2 days on the antibiotic but that is not to say it did not work.  I just was not able to function on it therefore I called my doctor for something else."


"I use Flomax for a least 5 years, side effects were awful. Started Uroxatral one year ago and my life change 100%.
This is an excellent medication."


"I have been taking this medicine since i was in the 6th grade! I am now 22 years old. This medicine made me feel like i could actually sit in class with out falling asleep or not being able to concentrate. It's a great feeling to actually get everything done. Yes it does cause dry mouth and you may not eat like you used to. However you have to make yourself eat something other wise you can cause your blood sugar to drop witch would cause headach and nausea. With time you do get used to the medicine and you will get your appitite back. I'm on 50mg. On days i dont take it im like a walking zombie i dont feel like doing anything i cant concentrate and i will most likely eat all day long. I'm more activie when i do take it! I love it !"


"I am 33 yrs old never taken any pills my entire life. I don't want anymore kids but not ready to get my tubes tied. I asked my doctor to put me on pills to give it a try. My RX was for the Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo but my insurance copay was $120 and the pharmacy gave me Tri Lo Sprintec for no copay. My goodness just in 3 days of taking the pills I have severe migraine, nausea, breasts are sore, hair loss, mood swings, I crave for food mostly at night time, face was covered with bumpy white heads esp my jaw area which I don't get any at all. I am stopping the pills before it gets worst, I was going to wait to finish the pack since I am on 16th days but can't take anymore of this weird changes to  my body. Going to switch or might get tied."


"I feel way better on Elavil than cymbalta. I'm back to being Me ,not a grumpy stressed monster. I'm going to call my Dr to personally thank him for switching me."


"So far I am extremely impressed! After beginning birth control on Reclipsen (the worst pill in the world) I began Gildess because my friend used it and claimed she actually lost weight! So I gave it a try. Weight loss did in fact occur. The junk food cravings that I had accumulated because of Reclipsen subsided quickly and my appetite has gone way down. I only get hungry about once a day. My severe cystic back acne is gone. GONE. It just vanished with this pill. My face cleared up a little as well and the overall texture of my skin is improved. Softer, smaller pores, clearer. NOW THE CONS: Nausea for the first 3 weeks. spotting for the first month. I'm a little more emotional but it's controllable. I really do recommend this pill."


"I have been taking 20mg citalopram for almost 3 months now. It has changed my life! A few years ago I started having panic attacks. I have been to the ER about 4 or 5 times. Have spent thousands of dollars on EKG, stress tests, wearing the halter heart monitor... you name it! In the end they all said the same thing... anxiety. Continued to take Xanax when I felt an attack coming on. Finally my physician suggested this. For the first 6 weeks or so I had fatigue, excessive yawning, no sex drive or ability to climax. Although I noticed my anxiety attacks becoming more mild and fewer of them.   After about 8 weeks most of the side effects have gone away. I feel great! Happy and full of energy! Give it time.. it is worth it!"


"I got psoriasis when I was about 14 years old, rapidly spreading from my right knee to both my elbows and my scalp which was very disruptive to my confidence as a kid about to start high school, started off with a few oral drugs which barely worked, started enbryll at 17 and it worked for about 1-2 years before I started to notice my psoriasis coming back. I started humira when I was around 18-19 and am still on it now as I am 22 years old and have not had a single side effect from either biologic. It does keep me up at night from time to time thinking I'll need it for the rest of my life or looking at any nasty side effects but considering I haven't experienced even any common ones I tell myself to relax and appreciate how normal I feel."


"Just got a prescription today. Took it at 2 pm walked outside in the sun, came back into the office, perspired a little but nothing like I used to. It's now 4 pm my office is at 80 degrees by now I'd have my tower fan at max but for the sake of testing if it works, I've turned it off. So far it's working my sweat isn't as bad. I do feel a little delirious kind of like taking morning Cold Medicine , allergy medicine, or balloon head best describes it.  After suffering all my life with Hyperhydrosis and seeing it pass onto my nephew and nieces the pros far out weigh the cons. I'm a believer that it work for me. Sorry for the grammatical errors I wanted to share as soon as I could.

SP"


"Hello. I'm not content with the rod. I got it in August. I have only bled twice since then! And I'm sexually active. So I just had the biggest pregnancy scare of my life. This is ridiculous. I'm over the rod. I can't take it anymore. I need it removed. And I will get it removed."


"I'm 21 and have bipolar disorder I've been on lithium for exactly a year next month. The only side effect I 100% know is from the lithium is retaining water weight (I haven't gained actual weight at all on lithium) once I drink more water I'm fine. I'm more on the manic pole so the lithium levels me out, decreases my impulses and over all I'm more pleasant to be around, less snappy. I was on Klonopin for 4 years and once I went on lithium I easily came off of it once my bipolar was under control (about 3 months into getting my lithium levels up) Lithium is a lifesaver to me and I can't imagine not taking it. It's the only one that works for me. And I like myself on lithium.Im more than satisfied after 8 years of trial and error."


"I've been taking it for 3 days, and I will begin CBT next week (therapy). I take 50mg for 14 days then 14 days off.

I already find myself more in control of my feelings. I feel I want to get cross/angry but I am able to stop this feeling. It's sooo weird!!

If I think about things that I know will make me sad, my mind snaps me back to reality, the here and now.

Side effects so far include a bit tired, a little nauseous, my feet are not as tickily!, and I didn't get as much pleasure out of Aquafit today as I normally do.

I was really nervous when starting this drug, but so far it's good."


"I had my mirena for 2.5 years before taking it out. I've gained about 20-25 lbs since I fist got it. The procedure was extemely painful and I was in pain for the rest of the evening after the insertion. I've experience mood swings, lack of energy, spotting after intercourse, lack of sex drive, no periods (good thing), and regardless of clean eating/exercising, I could not loose weight. Oh and really bad acne!!

Since I've gotten it out I feel a lot better and not as tired. My partner says I'm so different from when I used to be on birth control."


"I started Wellbutrin after my Celexa quit working after 5 years.  I had a little nausea the first week.  The second week was the hardest.  I had uncontrollable bouts of sheer rage.  When I spanked one of my kids out of anger, which I've never done before, I called my doctor and she put me on Prozac.  However, I decided to give Wellbutrin one more week.  The rage issue resolved itself and went away.  At week 4, I feel completely even tempered.  I love how this medicine makes me feel and I take things far less seriously. I could only give it an 8 out of 10 due to the side effects when starting it."


"I had Implanon for just over 2 years. It was great because I never had to remember to take a pill, the insertion was quick, easy and hardly hurt at all. I bled for 4 months straight after getting it put in, but then after that I probably only had 4 or 5 more periods in the rest of the 2 years. That part of it was great. However, I got incredibly depressed and had to go on anti-depressants. I had insane mood swings, my personality changed, and I had basically NO libido at all. To add to my low/non-existent libido, Implanon made me really dry down there so sex hurt every single time. I just took it out yesterday. The removal process was pretty quick and generally painless, my arm is a little sore today, but not too bad."


"I was prescribed Macrobid for a bladder infection. By 3rd day in med I developed a horrible dry cough. I stopped taking at that point. I am now on another antibiotic for an upper respiratory infection.  I will be sure to never take Macrobid again"


"I am on the second day of one pill in am and one in pm (week 2).  No side effects except feeling extremely sleepy.  I had been taking 300 mg a day of bupropion prior to starting this and I thought the tiredness was from having less in my system.  From what I see it may be a side effect of this: drinking coffee to stay awake.  Weight was down 3 pounds first week, then got my period so yesterday is was back up.  Dry mouth, especially at night.  Will this sleepiness go away???"


"Aviane is the second type of birth control that I have taken. It's already been a month and I love it. My skin is completely flawless and I haven't experienced any side effects besides tender breast. I haven't gained any weight either. This birth control is great!"


"I have been on this drug for 12 years and it greatly improved the quality of my life in a lot of ways . the problem I am having now is that I still have some organization skills not because of the  medication. I was getting my mental health needs thru park nicollet health care . now i can not find mental health care that are willing to prescribe this medication that helped me immensely.the problem with the drug is its unpopularity of the drug from providers because of the abuse of street methamphetamine. those providers do not have the knowledge of the things that they are supposed to when it comes to aadd"


"This is my first time on birth control. I know they recommend you only being on the pill for 10 years so I wanted to wait until it was truly needed. I have been on this pill for 4 1/2 years. The first 3 1/2 years were amazing. I lost weight, my skin was amazing, my periods were very light and only lasted 3 days, I am always moody around my period but I've always been like that. But this past year is totally different. My boobs are massive, I've gained weight for no reason, I stopped getting my period all together. I feel I needed to take stock in pregnancy tests because I was always 28 days on the pill and now I get it every 6 months if that. My mood swings are crazy and my food cravings are nuts. my sexy drive dropped too."


"I started the birth control last summer in August and stopped it this April. For the first 6 months of taking the pill I had no problems at all, I felt normal except I did get acne which went away after about 1-3 months. It shortened my period to about 4-5 days instead of my normal week long and a half periods.   But after 6 months of taking the pill I would sometimes get my period early by about 8 days and then the next month it would be back to normal. Also I would get bad cramps and back aches which appeared after 6 months. This was bothersome to me, especially after the pill working great for about 6 months. The early periods, cramps, and backaches were doable but i decided to switch off it to loestrin 1.5/30."


"Well I been on my nexplanon for at least 2 years and the only downside I'm having is bleeding after 2 1/2 years and I'm wondering when is it going stop but overall it's a great birth control"


"I am a 25 year old female, smoked for about 7 years up to about a pack a day. I'm nearing the end of my third week on Chantix and smoking about one a day. Only the physical addiction still tempts me, the actual act of lighting, holding, and inhaling a cigarette. The chemical dependency/cravings are completely gone. If I don't see cigarettes I don't think about them, and haven't bought a pack in over 2 weeks. When I do give in and smoke, the experience is hardly pleasant and I rarely make it through a whole cigarette. I highly recommend this drug if you are serious about quitting and don't intend my list of side effects to deter anyone from trying. restless sleep/vivid dreams, cases of 'the blues', extreme nausea. All very much worth it."


"After what was supposed to be a filling, turned into a molar extraction, I ended up with dry socket. Around day 5 after the extraction I also ended up Osteomyltis starting in the same area as the extraction. I was than prescribed Clindamycin, as the infection was getting worse and the pain was excruciating from my jawbone to my ear and in the dry socket. The Clindamycin after 2 days of being on it, I could start feeling a difference. By the time I finished the prescription there were no ill effects and minimal permanent damage to my jaw."


"I have been on temazepam for years due to chronic insomnia and it does not give me a good night's sleep.  I've tried Ambien, Benadryl, and melatonin, which don't work at all.  I am getting frustrated with the temazepam because I don't sleep a full night and wake up after sleeping 2 hours, then doze off for another 1 1/2 or 2 hours at a time before I finally just get up.  The doctor upped my temazepam dose to 30 mg a night, but it did nothing different, so I am just taking 15 mg.  She is not very interested in looking at other options, but I am going to discuss these other medications with her.  I am SO tired!  I also am going to take a "sleep" class, which should be interesting."


"Took 5mg for almost a year.  It did a great job on blood pressure.  But I got progressively worse muscle cramps, especially in my calfs.  Could not run for more than a few minutes without intense pain.  Had to switch to another medication."


"I have been on Byetta for one month and my blood sugars are great. I have also lost 18 pounds. At first the nausea was pretty bad. I have to make myself eat, I never get hungry."


"I had the paragard inserted 2 months ago and am on my 2nd period with it. I'm 33 with 2 daughters and cannot tolerate hormones, they make me angry and make sex painful. So far I love the paragard. I was nervous after reading all the reviews about the insertion and I even voiced my concerns to one of the nurses at planned parenthood. She told me she had the mirena inserted during her lunch break and was able to work fine. She had no kids and said it wasn't bad, she also told me how many women she witnessed being dramatic during insertion, and that as long as I took the alieve, it wouldn't hurt too much. Insertion went smoothly and painlessly. Now my periods are a little heavier but not longer, no other side effects."


"Works almost immediately. Gets rid of chest tightness, anger, emotional rollercoaster. Just doesn't last a full 8 hours."


"It helps, but not for very long. But it definitely doesn't make me as irritable as other ADHD medications"


"I have been drinking very heavily for the past seven years and about a liter to a half gallon a day for the past year. I have been to inpatient rehabs that have lasted from 30 to 90 days and always drank the day I got out. I have been in and out of AA, tried the 12 steps, and tried different sponsors. I could never put more than a week sober together. I finally got my doctor to prescribe it to me after asking many times and now I have 5 months sober. For me that is a miracle. I have never in my life felt better. I have no cravings and the strange thing is I don't remember what it felt like to drink so I feel pre alcoholic again. The thought of drinking just does not come across my mind anymore.  This is a well kept secret for a reason."


"I've been on Yasmin for about a year now. I was on Ortho-Tri for a few years prior to that, and Nordette (another birth control pill) a few years prior to that one. Because I've been on a pill for so long, my body didn't need much adjusting to Yasmin, nor did I notice any HUGE side effects. Although, after reading some reviews, I have noticed that I feel more sensitive emotionally now since being on Yasmin, I don't feel like I get mood swings per say where I'm mad, more like its easier for me to cry for something I normally wouldn't have cried so easily before. Also, I've noticed more frequent migraine headaches, and my hair is thinner but despite this, I think its still the best one for me out there. They all have pros, cons, and risks!"


"I got chronic pancreatitis and this serious GI disease and dilaudid has worked wonderful treating me of these problems."


"I would only recommend this for hormonal cystic acne, it did nothing for my blackheads and closed comodones and after one year I stopped taking it. There were a few side effects, especially lowered libido but nothing scary."


"I'm back on Pristiq after having tried several other medications due to sexual side effects.  I had taken Prozac for 20 years and had tried countless other medicines.  Prozac stopped working and none of the others made me feel normal like Pristiq.  My doctor recommended that I take my Pristiq every other day or not to take it on days when I want to have sex.  Now I can ejaculate again and have a great sex life.  Thanks Pristiq.  It feels so good to be normal again."


"The medication didn't help me fall asleep, nor stay asleep longer than four hours...NOT worth the money!!"


"Amazing drug ! Love it ."


"Not nearly as "masking" as Lortab or Vicodin, but measurably close.  It's definitely noticeable that caffeine exists among the ingredients, too.  I've felt fairly pain free since taking this medicine."


"I was on the 28 day starter pack made it to the regular dose of 30 mg 2x aday
Severe headaches like I have never experienced before, I have had migraines for over 40 years these were worse. MD reduced dose to 30 once a day.
Still had some headaches, jaw pain and nausea the side effects have outweighed the good- no real improvement in hands - will stop taking Otezla
It also made me extremely moody and angry."


"I haven't had the severe problems I've been reading about on this site, it's honestly a little scary to hear. I take prednisone 2-3 times a year when I get bronchitis (chronic asthmatic bronchitis) & it works wonders for me. I just caught a cold the other day that went straight to my lungs. After two nights of wheezing & barely sleeping, I went to the doc yesterday for prednisone. Within a few hours, I could breath freely again. Still get winded easily & tire quickly, but much easier to function & sleep now. Would be shit out of luck without it! Just for reference, I got a script of 40mgs per day for 4 days. Went to work today & was totally back in the game!"


"I went to my obgyn after experiencing a very emotional year with family and work then started hot flashes!!  Thankfully, my obgyn was wonderful and didn't think I was crazy!  She prescribed 75 mg Effexor -generic venlafaxine -much cheaper too.  I saw improvement in hot flashes and mood within 2 days.  I am on week 2 and feel more like my old self, minor hot flash symptoms, lost 4 pounds and I don't feel the need to eat everything in sight!  First week I did experience sleepiness and yawning but that has gone away and I am alert and feeling good!"


"It has been a year since I had a drink and I thank God every day for giving me my life back.  I took Campral every day for four months and it helped my will power to quit and calmed my urges to drink again.  I had a prescription for six months but didn't need it anymore after 3 or 4.  There is no magic pill for anything in life but I highly recommend this medicine to help kick the booze habit.  Please ask your  doctor about Campral and get control of your life again."


"I use everyday Paxil 20 mg. I use Cloanazepan .5 mg. in case of emergency, when I feel I will lose control. I like this combination."


"This bc has almost negated my cramps during the placebo/period week, my skin seems clearer in general though when I do get a pimple it's harder to the touch, my breasts got a little fuller (no sensitivity), and I'm bloated/constipated during the 3 active pill weeks ALL THE TIME. I can't tell if I gained weight or not because of this but if I did, it's less than 5lbs. That's the only reason I rated this 8/10, that and I'm not sure but I'd say be aware that it may exaggerate bad moods. No babies so far either!

Again just watch how you're eating and your mood. Maybe take B12 if it helps. I'm 5'2, 135lbs, and fit if that helps as well."


"Tried Cialis, didn't work. Tried Viagra but the cost, too expensive, and only lasted for one "go round". Tried Stendra and it works better that Viagra!! I was able to hold an erection and go 3 rounds!!! Another positive is that it's much more affordable!!!"


"I was prescribed 1/2 to 2 tablets of 50 mg Trazodone to help with my disturbed sleep and it has been a miracle!!  I do not know how long it has been that I have slept at least 7 hours straight without waking up several times during the night.  I also have anxiety and depression and have been prescribed Effexor.  The combination of these two drugs have helped tremendously thus far.  It has only been a week and I have had very mild side effects of headache, nausea and dry mouth.  Those are slowly dissipating and becoming less and less.  I used to wake up with this worry feeling in the pit of my stomach, in a head fog, and fatigued.  So far those feelings have gone away.  My personal problems haven't gone away but I am able to handle them."


"Quillivant has changed our lives. My 12-year old son has ADHD with slight autism. When he isn't on medication he is depressed, cries a lot and can be inappropriate. He won't swallow a pill. We tried a few medications and the patch, but they all had instant side effects. We love that Quillivant is a liquid and at 5ml he is very happy. The only slight side effect is decrease in appetite. It wears off 8 hours later when we give him a Ritalin pill that he chews. Yuck. We couldn't be happier with this product, but it is hard to find at pharmacies. Get a discount card for only a $20 co-pay."


"It has not been easy but I am not giving up on it yet.
Hang in there people."


"This medication made me throw up within an hour of taking the first capsule."


Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection

"I use Zyvox to control MRSA infections in my lungs. Works fairly well on other bacteria too, gives good coverage.
The Liquid tastes like mediciney cream cicle.  Goes down easier with apple juice for children."


"I'm a full-time college student in my mid-20s. I've been on Adderall for 3 months now. I cut my 15mg IR in half and take it in the morning and the other half 3 hours later (and another half after 3-4 hours if needed). I don't take it everyday, I probably only take it 4x a week. If you don't have an addictive personality, you won't be addicted to it. I have to say it works really well with my ADD. I'm able to study for hours at a time. I don't necessarily think it makes you smarter. It just lets you focus on a task without getting distracted. I think my only complaint is sudden mood swings and agitation. I definitely noticed a difference in my personality the days I'm not on it. I get angry very easily and irritable."


"I started taking Junel 1.5/30 this week because my normal prescription was out of stock.  I felt fine at the beginning of the week.  However, today after taking the medication with breakfast this morning, I felt sudden dizziness, chest pain, and shortness of breath.  The dizziness stopped this morning, but I still have the a little bit of chest pain and shortness of breath.  I am going back to the pharmacy, ask them to reorder my other prescription and I am making an appointment with my doctor in the morning.  I want to stop taking birth control because of Junel."


"By the third day I had lost my voice, developed pneumonia, been unable to cough out production from my lungs, scarred my lungs even further. I would expect this product to be removed by the FDA soon. If the condition lasts, I'll be seeking legal council."


"Pros: excellent results - thoroughly cleaned color; two portions of 16 oz

Cons: TASTE, chills, bloating, and the long time it took to cleanse (I took second portion at 1:30 and was still going at 6 a.m. for a 7:30 procedure.)

Important to note: each person's reaction is unique. Don't let the reviews scare you. At the endoscopy center everyone was comparing notes about the product they used, and there didn't seem to be a consensus as to which product was the best."


"I have been experiencing chronic fatigue (inability to muster up energy for anything) for as long as I can recall.  My doctor gave me a trial for Cymbalta for approximately two months and I noticed an improvement.  My mom had a stroke and I was away for a few weeks and unfortunately I ran out of my medication, so I thought I would be okay without it.  I was wrong!  I experienced major withdrawals after about two weeks.  I was easily agitated.  I did not leave my apartment.  I could not sleep.  Some nights I was up until 4:00AM.  Earlier in the week I went back on it and things seem to be slowly getting back on track. "


"For birth control it definitely works. I've had this in for a little over a year. I do get my period every month. But I feel like every other month I either get two periods or it lasts for 3 weeks at least. I am also NEVER in the mood for sex.  I'm considering getting it out sooner than 3 recommended."


"Started 8mg of Suboxone 6 months ago.  Tapered down over last 6 months to 1 mg by cutting the Suboxone 2mg film in half. Suboxone is amazing and does everything it says.  Make sure you do it with a doctor. The withdrawal symptoms are not fun for at least a week, I am on day 5.  Chills flu like symptoms, anxiety, insomnia, headache, nausea loss of appetite among symptoms.  First day I'm feeling better and haven't used Oxy in half year.  Take some Tylenol, some Ativan.  All helped me now I'm off it."


"This is the nastiest looking and tasting medicine I have ever taken.  With that said, the medicine works the best for a cough.  I kept myself and my husband awake at night coughing.  I took this medicine (only at night) and it worked like a charm.  This is the best medicine for a cough (I don't waste my money on Robitussin or Mucinex) and is my go-to medicine whenever I get a pesky cough."


"Good."


"Struggled with migraines and behind the ear neck pain for over 10 years. General doc thought migraines and tried various different meds, with no success. OTC analgesics didn't touch it, either.

Finally saw a neurologist on the advice of my new general doc after my previous retired. He immediately diagnosed it as textbook occipital neuralgia and put me on Neurotin.

I was better within a week. Still had some lingering pain on certain days so he doubled my dose, which was the minimum at the time for an adult. I'm still on a super low dose and have a headache now maybe once every three weeks instead of 5 to 6 times per week."


"I had two injections of depo-provera when I was 25. The first shot was fine, no abnormal physical side effects, maybe a little spotting during what should have been my menstrual cycle. Then about a month after the 2nd shot I cascaded into a deep depression that involved suicidal thoughts. My libido was also gone and it took over a year after the 2nd and final injection to feel better in terms of the depression.  My libido never recovered. I am now 45. My last sexual encounter was when I was 32. I firmly believe that depo-provera is responsible.  But hey, bright side, right? I didn't get pregnant :/"


"Lialda works great. No rectal bleeding. NO side effects. I started taking it for 4 months and decided to quit taking it after 4 months to see what happens. Never had problems. Haven't gone back to the doctor since."


"I've suffered from extreme depression and suicidal thoughts my entire life and would much less frequently have weeks or months of manic euphoria. After hitting a major low recently and actually planning to  take my life I decided to get help and was prescribed Lamotrigine. Even at very first 25mg introductory dose I immediately felt that it was exactly what my brain needed. I actually cried, the way you might expect someone to if they had their vision or mobility restored. My thought was "where has this been my entire life?" I was ramped up for 5 weeks and have been on a full 200mg dose for the last few weeks. Though still feeling some mild depression, I haven't had a single suicidal thought ever since beginning treatment. No side effects!"


"I am currently on day 5 of a 10 day course of augmentin Es 600 5ml 2x a day for a high count e coli UTI. This is my 3rd antibiotic for this. It's working. Killing the bacteria. I am having yeast like issue even though I'm on 3 probiotics a day and loose stool. I also have bad muscle soreness and pain if I do the slightest activity. I will update after I finish the course but wanted to aware of these strong side effects."


"Since puberty I had been diagnosed by everything under the sun except for what I really suffered, and have taken so many different medications the names have become a blur. Finally was diagnosed at 34 with bi-polar disorder type 1 compounded by bouts of clinical depression. I was given Triazadone, but couldn't take the vivid nightmares. Depakote, which gave me migraines. Finally found a good therapist who got me on Zoloft. It took a good 4 to 6 weeks for it to accumulate in my system and I did have the runs for the first couple of weeks, but it made a huge difference in my life. Just the thought of some Doctor taking me off Zoloft makes me panic. I never want to go back to my life before Zoloft."


"I was on it for 2 years and never had any problems.  My periods were predictable and it decreased my cramping and bleeding.  I still had a period for 6 days but with light bleeding, it's not that bad."


"My neurologist added Topamax to my tricyclic and beta-blocker in hopes that it would control my vestibular migraines (total balance loss). It failed completely, but its side effects included immediate impotence, decreased libido, and substantial difficulty finding words. My vocabulary for 3  syllable words dropped 50%. I sounded drunk."


"I have been taking Klonopin and Xanax for almost 7 years. I think the Xanax works faster but I think the Kolonpin works longer when you have been through a lot of things in life. "


"Do not take this bc. The hormone in this pill has a bad habit of lowering testosterone in women. That may sound like a good thing, but if you are a woman with normal to low levels already, further lowering will cause low energy, low motivation, low sex drive, and feeling generally crappy. I took this for four days and slept 24 hours on the last day. I'm done with it. I hope I stopped soon enough, these effects can be permanent in some women. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with having your testosterone levels checked first, if you even find a doctor that will."


"I have been taking Effexor for 8 years. Started 100mg raised over the years, now taking 300mg. Anxiety is roof level, Panic attacks are more frequent, literally feel my brain sparking. I'm tearful, short wicked, don't sleep much, appetite is 50/50. No motivation, I have had the same doctor for 13 years."


"I had the Liletta IUD inserted 8/05/15. The insertion was super painful. I have a low threshold for pain and have never had kids. The cramps were horrible for an hour after the insertion. I was nauseous and light headed. Ever since I got it I have been spotting. I haven't gone more than a week without spotting..max maybe 3 or 4 days. It's so annoying! I will bleed for a day, then nothing for 2 days, then brownish discharge. The spotting is very random. I am thinking of switching to pills because of this.

The only good thing is that my PMS symptoms have gone down since I started using it. I used to be EXTREMELY moody and irritable  due to PMS but that is not the case anymore. It has been effective in keeping me not pregnant."


"Cialis 5mg daily has reduced frequent and spotty urination with no side effects.  However it has done nothing for ED.

I have not had a prostrate exam since taking Cialis but assume it is reduced in size."


"It gives me headaches."


"Never been so happy to receive my period however I had nothing but a positive expierience from this pill .. spotting came in about a week from the day I took it and honestly I do believe it works ,didn't have much side affects just a few headaches here and there and a bit of nausea but with just a little patience and some reassurance that everything will be ok, The waiting wasn't so bad ,but results do come so ,  DONT STRESS just let the pill do its job !"


"Started taking Adipex-P 4 weeks ago. Cons: Constipation and really bad bouts of Insomnia - better as time has gone on. Do not take with a blood pressure pill/water pill - you will feel like crap and your heart will try to burst through your ribcage.
Pros:  Lost 31 pounds.  17 pounds - yes 17 pounds in 1 week though I do attribute that to the Adipex-P   Blood Pressure/water pill. I found I could not take both at the same time or on the same day so I stopped taking the blood pressure pill. My blood pressure is down to where it should be.
Working out 4-5 times a week. 4-5 miles of cardio per workout plus weights. Probably cut my daily calorie intake by half.

I plan on taking the pill for a max of 3 months so by summer I should be off the pill but still have a more active life."


"So I had unprotected sex on July 2 three days after my period and took the pill like half an hour after, a week later I got breast tenderness and spotting and got my period on July 29 five days late, it was heavy and it wasn't until today August 9 that it stopped. Of course I freaked out cause I'd never experienced anything like that but it don't worry it works"


"I been taking this medicine for about 3 weeks and it barely works for me. It actually caused severe drowsiness, dry mouth and dizziness. At first I chalked all that up to pregnancy till I figured it was the medicine causing this. I accidentally missed one dose and I felt horrible. The one of not many good things about this pill is its so small so it doesn't interfere with inability to swallow huge horse pills. I will be asking my obgyn for another medication so I can at least be awake throughout the day"


"I have taken OsmoPrep twice, once for my Colonoscopy, the second time for surgery. I had no problems either time. No vomiting, cramps, pain. I did have to cut the pills in half because it was difficult for me to swallow them. Other then that, no problems."


"This is a wonderful product for adult acne. It does not leave your skin overly dry, but rather refreshed and silky smooth. I use it twice a day and have experienced the best skin appearance since I developed acne over 18 years ago."


"Great and effective medication while taking .25 to .50 mg once per day. I'm in Law Enforcement and have a tough time shutting off my mind now and then. Klonopin works very well at taking away the negative thinking and unrealistic worries. Cops tend to role play alot in their minds, with everything. What if this, what if that?? Sometimes it gets out of hand and the horrible feelings that come from that sort of continuous thinking can really take its toll. Klonopin takes that away for a much longer time than Xanax. I also take 20mg of Lexapro a day, been taking for about three months. It has helped to some degree as well and keeps me from having to take a higher dose of the Klonopin. But overall, I give Klonopin a 10."


"When I was finally diagnosed, after having classic textbook hypothyroidism symptoms, I was prescribed, in varying doses Synthroid or Levoxyl. Neither did me much good and of course doctors bandaided my lingering symptoms with other drugs and excuses. It wasn't until I found out about Armour, fired a bunch of clueless doctors, treated adrenal insufficiency, and I finally found out after 50 years I could actually feel human. Synthetic medicines never once gave me that feeling like Armour has. It is the thyriod medicine of choice for me. It is effective and easily dosed, and I promptly threw my old medicines away. Doctors need to get a clue about this now. Armour is IT. It is the best one to prescribe."


"I've been on Lo Loestrin for 4 months.  This pill is one of the best I've taken so far.  No periods or crazy mood swings.  Sex drive is normal.  Only downside is that I have gained some weight and it's been hard to lose it while being on this pill.  Second downside it's expensive, and my insurance doesn't cover it so its cost me 75$ per month.  Overall, good experience on this pill."


"Was taking all kind of pain medicines then my pain doctor put me on the generic of cymbalta ,I could not believe I was not hurting ,I take 60 mg at night just before bed.when I awake in the morning I'm in no pain. And I get better sleep now then I have in a long time .I have degenative disc disease,fibomy,thinning of the bones,bulging disc,sciactic,.they were taking me into the surgery room and giving me injections in my spine ,it helped the right lower back but did nothing for the left side of my back.could hardly get out of bed in the morning. Now everything is much better since I started the cymbalta.I just hope I do not get the side effects they are speaking of so far so good."


"My first month I lost 17.8 lbs. the weight just fell off.  In my 2nd month now and my weight is stuck.  I drink lots of water eat what I'm to eat and I don't know what else to do.  I'm to lose 4 lbs. this month and I have 2 weeks left before I go back.  Any ideas what I need to do to get this going again?  I take a half of Phentermine in the morning and a half in the afternoon due to having tightness in my chest the first month."


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


"I took this medication for 90 days and experienced some side effects. The main one was fatigue and slight brain fog. To mitigate this effect I would take it before bed. I also had a dull ache the would come and go near my liver, but my liver test came back fine. Another effect was that it made me slightly more agitated and anxious. I experienced no taste loss as others have experienced though. It seems like new nails are growing in nicely, but it remains to be seen if all of the infected nail will grow out. Best of luck to anyone who gives it a shot."


"Helped with my voices and paranoid episodes but my moods are still up and down and it makes me feel angry and irritated all the time"


"I rated Lyrica as "one" because IF your prescription plan does not pay for it, it is worth nothing to you UNLESS you are prepared to pay about $350.00 a month out of your own pocket.  It's effectiveness for a few of my problems was very good, but since I cannot afford it, it's effectiveness is actually ZERO to me now.

Don't take the free sample that will be offered to you (unless you can afford it later).  Stopping Lyrica will be the one of the most miserable things you have ever tried in your life!  It is a horrible withdrawal.  the company is just like a street dealer of drugs. BOTH give you "free samples" to get you dependent on the drug and they charge big money for you to continue taking it."


"I started on fluoxetine ~4 yrs ago in high school.  My panic attacks came sparingly and I fought it out for around 6 months. I noticed a difference 2 weeks into starting fluoxetine. I used to get a panic attack and almost always throw up.  This is not the case anymore. I'm on 20mg and I do great. I'll get heightened anxiety maybe once every couple of months.  The best I can describe panic attacks now is a "buzzing" feeling in your brain.  Most of the time I can just breathe and it will go away.

I have noticed no side effects."


"The initial results seemed to improve on times, compared with Sinemet, however the side effects had a devastating impact on my  family relationships. Out of nowhere I became a compulsive gambler. Other issues of sleeplessness, hypersexaulity ,anxiety, just to name a few. The minute I stopped using Rytary all these issues went away. To be fair, impulse control issues were a concern with the regular Sinemet product but I was always able to stop the above negative behaviors. Rytary warning label spells out these side effects so anyone with impulse control problems should be on guard when trying this product."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"Midin worked so much better for my cluster headaches. Indomethacin temporary relived the headache but the side effects of dizziness and fatigue were counter productive. Midrin allowed me to function and I felt refreshed and focused the morning after. I've been on many medications for my headaches, Midrin was the magic bullet. It's unfortunate I can no longer find it."


"I have had two intestinal surgeries - hence, numerous bowel preps for testing pre and post. Suprep was - by far- the easiest bowel prep I have used to date. It was so easy, no cramps, no burning, etc. It also turned a two-day prep into one evening."


"I'm diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder with psychotic features. When I first started this medication about 8 months ago, I would get extremely tired soon after I took it, also nauseous. I have to take it at night. The tiredness put me in a low mood but not depressed. After steadily taking it, my doctor put me on a stimulant and that cancels out the tiredness. Honestly I'm so happy at this point in time and I've come so far. I have a job now and a 4.5 GPA and I volunteer. It really has changed my life. I also lost almost 40 pounds and I feel healthier and love life. If you take this medicine everyday and stick to it, it really works. If I skip I definitely feel very agitated and paranoid and angry. I take 40mg a night, sometimes I do still get nauseous."


"I've been using this for a month now and it seems to be helping with the blood sugars.  However I find the pen hard to use.  I have small hands and the pen is to wide for me to grip easily and the plunger even harder to push down to inject.  I hate needles so this is ideal way for me but something slimmer and easier to push would help.  At 56 iu now it's virtually impossible to avoid pain with the injection."


"My 12 year old son was on this for severe behavior issues - worked nice but had major weight gain and was very very tired - had to stop it due to him being so tired."


"I have two kids my first was born and I was put on the pill ,took it correctly and somehow got pregnant when she was 3 months old. So now I have a 1 and 2 year old after my second I decided to try the mirena and it wasn't painful at all to have inserted just a little uncomfortable. But I had bleeding for 4 months straight so me and dh went 5 months without sex. And then after I stopped it was every 25ish days and it would last 2 weeks not heavy but the flow would go from normal to light during the day. I'm happy to be protected but it was a rough start my doctor just kept saying it's worth it to tough it out and I guess it really is I'm not preg and don't have to worry about it at all. I couldn't imagine remembering a pill or geta shot."

"I've been on Tri Sprintec for some time now. I like it but I have gained weight and just cannot seem to lose it. Think I'm going to try NuvaRing."


"I started on Celexa in May 2011 after already trying Zoloft, Lexapro, Prozac and Xanax. It worked great for the panic attacks and anxiety but I gained 40 lbs in less than a year. I never craved sweets before I started Celexa. Now I can't get enough and I am always hungry. I struggled with staying on it because it worked so well or continuing gaining weight. I finally decided to try something else. My Dr. suggested Buspar since it is not known to cause weight gain. I just started Buspar today. Hope it helps. I had bad side effects from Zoloft and Prozac, but Lexapro and Celexa were great. Its different for everyone so don't get freaked out by other peoples comments. "


"I didn't give Mirvaso a 0 or a 1 because it really does what it claims. I had mild rosacea and it seriously took it away within 30 minutes to an hour. The effect lasts about 10-12 hrs, and even by the time I'm going to sleep the returning pinkness is only very mild...but then in the morning it's on fuego. I don't feel my face burning or anything, but it's redder than my original starting point. I kept with the Mirvaso for a few days because even with the seemingly stronger redness I would wake up with, the Mirvaso would always erase it like magic for 10-12 hrs. Eventually the redness got so strong in the morning I stopped using it. It's  been 3 days and my face is still way redder than usual with a few pimples which I usually don't get."


"After several uses of this effective medication I started having a sense of dizziness, shortness of breath and shaking.  Now if I use it just once I have an occurrence of the same symptoms.  I think I have an allergy to Bactroban which gets worse every time I use it."


"I'm 39 and had moderate acne since youth. I was clear for years after having my kids but after my 39th BD it came back and I couldn't get control of it. I just started my 4th pack of Trinessa and it has been awesome. I noticed immediate improvement and after one week I was 90% clear. I have an occasional blackhead that has pushed it's way to the surface but that's it. 100% clear skin. I had some pretty bad bloating the first couple of days. And I was really worried about mood swings and depression because of the other reviews, since I have a lot going on in my life already. But I have had NONE of those nasty symptoms. My boobs have grow at least one cup size (bonus!) but I haven't had any significant weight gain or other issues. Try it!"


"Foul smell immediately gone on my
First tablet. But you have to finish the 7day medication"


"Just took my first one today and I can't believe how good I feel right now.  I've been hurting for months. Waiting for my neurologist to see me now. I was feeling exhausted from hurting so badly. I never thought it would end but I feel 200 times better after taking the first dose. I highly recommend this drug."


"I had a gum infection that got so bad that my face swelled up and was red and hot to the touch.  My dentist put me on clindamycin 3 times a day (4 times a day for the first 2 days), this did clear up the infection (was on it for 2 weeks) then was able to have the surgery needed (had to wait for the infection to disappear first), then had to stay on it for 5 days after surgery to prevent infection. I had to stop after 4 days, my heartburn and indigestion was so bad and have had black stools for past three days, going to wait to see if everything clears up after stopping medication. I haven't taken it since yesterday morning, I haven't had heartburn since yesterday afternoon."


"I started Benicar two weeks ago for extremely high blood pressure 220/105. After two weeks my blood prezssure is now down to 140/80. I do feel much better. More energy. The only complaint I have are the muscle/leg cramps, aches I get every night. Nothing helps. I am on 40mg of Benicar once a day. I will call my doctor and see if there is any solution for the muscle aches. Otherwise I am very happy with the results."


"I had sex with my boyfriend about a week after I got off my period (Sunday). We used a condom, but it broke. Even though he said he didn't finish yet, I was hella paranoid about pre-cum and stuff. (I also remembered that we had unprotected sex that Saturday but he "pulled out"). So we went half on a plan b pill.  I took it the next morning (Monday) & I felt so sick for the rest of the week. My head was spinning while I was at work, my whole body was hurting, I was congested, had the chills, etc. Long story short I started spotting the next Sunday & now it's Monday and my period is SOOOOO heavy. Idk about you, but I'd rather pay $45-$50 for the pill than a lifetime full of payments for a child"


"If I could give this medication a 0 I would. After lots of research and talking with my doctor, I looked forward to trying this medication as I have struggled to lose weight after having my second child.

I took the first dose at 8:30 am. By 9 am I felt extremely nauseous and dizzy. I called my doctor and she recommended that I take some anti nausea meds I had. They did nothing to quell the sea of vomit that ultimately came pouring out of me. I vomited all morning, into the afternoon. Now, I've been very ill with food poisoning, stomach flu, etc, but this was a new type of evil as the nausea didn't subside even the tiniest bit, as it does w food poisoning etc, after vomiting. There was no relief.

I strongly recommend not taking this."


"i was diagnosed in 2009. Started atripla in 2012. No side effects that I could feel and last lab in June 2015 viral load <20 no detectable and CD4 1192. I feel great and love only having to take one pill a day"


"After taking Dilantin, (and keppra which cause depresion) it keep me and mom extremely extremely cool. depression faded away. It does well with seizures unless I miss a dose.Now I ONLY have nocturnal seizures. Side effects got worst.I have double vision, studdering, Alzhimers type memory,  Cant walk at all dizzinyness, and rashes Other than seizures, side affects are MUCH worst  then the medicine itself. I encourage you NOT to take it at all. AT ALL"


"I got this birthcontrol in February 2016 right after I turned 18 so I've had it for about 6 months now and I love it! When it was implanted my arm bruised and was tender for about a week but after that was completely painless and not sensitive at all. I haven't noticed any change in my moods or acne. I haven't gotten a period since it was implanted but occasionally have brown blood spotting but that is occurring less and less I've noticed. I would definitely recommend"


"I have Ulcerative Colitis and have been on Lialda for a few years, 4 pills per day.  I am in remission.  My biggest problem is Urgency and if I can conquer this problem I would be so much better.  I have no pain.  I eat most foods but stay away from gassy foods such as beans.  I found that when I eat popcorn, I have problems.  "

"After less than a week's use I developed heart palpitations... my doctor said it can't be from medication, but by the second day  that I stopped it palpitations stopped."


"I'm 54 & I've had genotype 3 for about 17 years from heavy drug use. The first 4 week's of starting epclusa I had headache's on a daily basis and I'm not a headache person along with that was fatigue (short fused) tiredness & gassy tummy , I take my dose about 1 hr before bed & I sleep extremely well , I have 2 week's to go and now I'm starting to feel extremely nauseated off & on, it also caused me to have sensitivity to the sun & tan very easy, I had to take allergy med's for it as it caused a rash, it all sound's bad but it's a small price to pay for what I have put myself through & I have a lot of faith that I will be cured, my doctor say's he will do blood work 3 month's after I have been off to get a accurate reading."


"I take guanfacine 1mg twice daily. It has three benefits in my case. It lowers blood pressure, reduces anxiety and augments some of the side effects from stimulant medication. Quick story: I took stimulants for years than developed anxiety to the point where I could no longer handle taking stimulants anymore. I discontinued the stimulants, but the anxiety persisted. I began benzodiazapine medication early in my college years. Eventually the benzos stopped working and my anxiety was even worse. I started guanfacine and really began to notice a difference. I stopped taking the benzos easily. My blood pressure and anxiety were under control and I started back on the stimulants again. Lo in behold the stimulant medication was tolerable again."


"I've been struggling with irregular periods for over a year. I was constantly on my period with only a few days break each month. I tried taking minastrin but I contin to have irregular periods since it was such a low dosage. I just started mononessa (about 3 weeks in) and so far I havent been on my period at all which is great!!!"


"Don't waste your money. I have taken it for 2 months. Stomach pain, nightmares, strange feeling but no weight loss."


"After 5 years of the Mirena IUD, it got lodged in my uterus and required surgical removal. I was going to get another one until that happened. I was then on the depo shot and gained a ton of weight. Since I was a smoker and over 30, my doctor didn't want me taking anything with estrogen, so she put me on Sharobel. I noticed that my boobs felt HUGE and super sore for the first week, and also my chin and back broke out for the first few weeks. The only other gripe I have with this pill is that it has to be taken the same exact time every day. I'm busy, forgetful, and my schedule is all over the place. Might be going back to the shot soon just because of that. Upsides: less risk of blood clots and No period to speak of (yay!)"


"Wiw"


"I am going now on my 2nd yr using this, and it's great, my sex drive is great probably got better too, I did not experience much weight gain that isn't normal. I did experience mood swings especially when I would have my periods I guess in that sense it was a bit bad I'd cry or get mad VERY easily and I did experience cramping during my cycle. All in all I do not mind it at all it is good for what it is for because I am not pregnant. I did take my pill 18 hrs late almost a whole other day but I was still fine. This worked great for me I am 5'1". I weighed 118 when I started now I weigh 130lbs. Considering it's been two years I don't think it's bad perhaps because my hips got a little wider, but nothing out of the ordinary."


"I started the once daily Gabapentin last week and am now on 1200 mg/day.  I was taking it for back pain and later realized it is also used for bipolar and anxiety problems, which I also suffer from.  I don't feel much of a difference mentally, but I feel drugged during the day.  It feels like I took a sleeping pill and am walking around doing my work trying to keep my eyes open.  I am not sure whether this is connected to the drug or it just happened for another reason.  In fact, this drugged feeling happened to me twice before I took the drug, but now it happens everyday.  Not sure what's going on."


"I have been taking it for 1 week...I get headaches and agitation, abit dizzy. I was debating wheather to stop taking it...but I will try a few more days. Will this go away as I continue!!"


"I have used this drug since the 1960s.  It is the best thing on the market for allergies or the beginning of a cold."


"Since the 1990s, successful research has been done on buprenorphine for severe depression. I started taking buprenorphine tablets in January for depression At first I needed 1 mg. per day to immediately lift depression. Now I need 2 mg., which has worked well for the past 2 months or so. Buprenorphine for depression makes sense since opiates affect  endorphin receptors. There is no euphoria, except at the beginning. There is no urge to take more than prescribed. I am just much less likely to spiral into despair, no matter what happens. Difficult to get for this purpose--I get it from a pain specialist.  Side effect: constipation."


"My mom is an OVCA patient undegoing chemotherapy with Docetaxes and Gemcitabine on a 3-week cycle and she had developed severe diarrhea accompanied by fever probably due to neutropenia and Loperamide/Imodium did not help her even after one week of taking it. The doctor suggested Sandostatin and after 2 doses of 100micrograms 8 hourly, the diarrhea stopped completely."


"I have been put on this medication for pain.  After 6 mouth operations - I was left with terrible upper gum and palate pain.  I have only been on it for 5 days - it is not working.  The pain is severe and constant.  I am praying - as I take it longer - it will take the pain away."


"Was horrible at the start, expect insomnia taking 20mgs. After 6 months I felt very very very good. I live with no anxiety at the moment. Weight gain is a side effect."


"My eyes stayed dry,  red and irritated. After only 5 days, my eyes begin to clear up. Used it twice daily 2 drops each time. The only downside, was the stinging burning for the first 5-10 seconds, after putting drops in."


"I have taken the Synvisc-One shot in both of my knees. It really does work and I am pain free for actually six months. The reason I will not take it now is because the last time I was given these shots it hurt just too bad. Now I am trying to find something else without all the more pain when taken."


"I have been on 20mg of Prozac daily for a month now. I also take 0.5mg of Xanax for break through panic/anxiety attacks. I have never felt better. After 20 plus years of struggling with depression I have finally found something that helps without all of the yucky side effects. I'm 34 years old and am finally enjoying my life. My family and friends have also noticed the difference this has made. I love it."


"I tried Tri-Sprintec as my first birth control. I had the heaviest and most painful periods I've ever had. My period lasted longer than 7 days, heavy bleeding and horrible cramps. It didn't help my acne, at all. I didn't gain weight but it isn't something I would recommend to others."


"I would not recommend this drug,I am on day10 and have been up all night with chronic indigestion,I also have a blustery itchy rash on various parts of my body.The tablets are going in the bin !!!!"


"One week after taking a five day course of Norflox I now, for past six weeks, have symptoms of peripheral neuropathy;  my legs and arms are burning and tingling, several fingers are numb yet burning, sharp pain behind one knee when getting up sometimes or for no reason:  this is a dangerous drug, do not take it, in my opinion.   If a matter of life or death, maybe."


"Not worth it at all. I have had my period for over 4 weeks now. It is absolutely horrible. I have never been on birth control before and thought this would be a good option. I have no kids either. I would NOT recommend this to anyone. Such a pain in the ass. Ive had it in since the end of April and am getting it out ASAP!!!"


"The new form interferon in the pegalated version is very effective in the cases of hepatitis C, genome type 2.  I had count of 118 million per sample when I started the treatment of both the Pegasus and Copegus.  After 2 months of treatment, I was told I was RNA negative as far that blood tests went.  I am in the 6th and final month of treatment, still RNA negative.  The truth will be 6 months after treatment, when my doctors will take a more definitive blood test.  Overall, this medicine, even though it has some manageable side-effects, is in my opinion worth of the rating I have given it."


"After years of battling depression, ADHD, PTSD, and serve anxiety my Dr. put me on gabapentin. I was recently diagnosed with mixed bipolar disorder. I have been struggling over 15 years now with Dr.'s trying me on all kinds of meds. I take Paxil, Klonopin, and clonodine, along with the gabapentin that they just increased to help with my ADHD. I don't want to say it's a miracle med., but I see the difference already. My thoughts are more clear, and it helps me concentrate better than I ever had. I wish one of the many Dr.'s over the years could have actually picked up on my current diagnosis, but at least I feel better now and can focus on my therapy to learn better coping skills during this process."


"I had to write a review on this one. I have tried everything possible in the past and nothing has worked this well for me but this med. I was suffering some horrible symptoms of ptsd and it completely was dibilitating to my life, career, social life, and even started to effect my health. I had gone through a rough phase with extraordinary life circumstances as well as serious difficulty coming to terms and adjusting with drastic changes and past trauma haunting me daily, even waking up from dreams with full blown panic attacks. I feel balanced out on this med, my functioning has been restored, so relaxed and calm, able to sleep at night, no more panic, and increased resiliance to stress, please give this a try if you suffer from ptsd......"


"I have been taking  25 mg for sleep for over 15 years.  I have found that if I take it about 30 to 45 minutes before eating I get sleepy much faster than if I take the medication near bedtime.."


"Have used Dymista for a full week, but began noticing significant relief after about 5 days. Fall is usually a bad season for me (ragweed, mold, etc) but now I'm completely off the antihistamine & decongestant pills after taking various prescription forms for the past 30  years. Still a little post nasal drip but it works better than anything I've had in several years."


"A dermatologist (a different dermatologist than I usually see) recommended to start using Differin along with taking my Doxycycline. I have been using the topical gel for 3 days on my face and back and I only have negative things to say. My face is peeling badly and the skin is very red and irritated. I have tried different moisturizers and they just burn. The outer corners of my eyes are red and painful. My back broke out with large blister-like pimples. I do not have sensitive skin and my acne is not very bad. I feel this product has actually worsened my condition. I am going to stop using Differin immediately. I don't know how long it's going to take my skin to heal."


"Last year's infusion brought four days of fever, made difficult because I can't take aspirin or other non steroidal anti-inflammatories. After two weeks, I'm nostalgic for those symptoms. This time body temp has stayed in the 96.4 range (95.9 this a.m.), when it's usually 97.6-98.6, so I feel very cold--until I get a savage hot flash requiring me to mop myself off with a towel, at least once an hour. I also have muscle cramps waking me up several times a night (more than prior to treatment). I've been lightheaded and fatigued. I also have fibromyalgia, but these symptoms are different/more intense. The doc told me he can do nothing. I'm frantic because I need to work and find that almost impossible. Anyone else with a situation like mine?"


"Would give this a 10. Have tried every anxiety/depression, SSRIs and MAOIs, etc. out there. One day on this and I felt wonderful, like I woke up as a new normal person. Yes you may gain a lot of weight but only if you eat carbs. You just cannot take this and eat chips, candy, etc. Lean meats, proteins and veg and you will have NO problems, the effect is worth it. If you can put the fork down, it can change your life. My Dr. warned me about the potential for weight gain, but told me he thought I had the willpower to resist the cravings to eat junk, which I did. Try it."


"I took Monistat One-Day after getting a yeast infection from taking antibiotics. At 11pm I used it. Almost immediately after insertion, I had terrible burning and itching. The itch relief cream only intensified the burn so I washed it off immediately. For hours I layed in agony, crying. Nothing helped. I took Benadryl just so I could fall asleep. The next morning the symptoms did actually diminish, although not completely. Still mild burning and itching. Since it's maximum strength it's very powerful. You have to push through the pain the first day. It does get better quite fast."


"My experience with this implant at first was awful. I bled for the first 4 months every other day. But then miraculously I stopped bleeding and now for the next 2 years and 8 months I wont have to worry about getting pregnant. "


"The ultimate fat magnet. I literally doubled my body weight in 6 months. Went from 6 1/2 stone to 13stone. Developed a binge eating disorder! A horrific drug."


"Very ineffective. Caused me to have a racing heart not sleep and to feel depressed and anxious the next day. Don't recommend"


"I have had excessive underarm sweat ever since I was 14. I tried Drysol when I was in High School but didnt follow the directions properly, being young a dumb I just  thought it didn't work.  Years have gone by and I have tried everything from underarm pads, to every antiperspirant under the sun. When I seriously thought about getting botox, I thought I would try Drysol ONE more time.  I followed the directions to a T and after one night of use I didn't even have a drop of sweat the next day.  I'm so impressed and wish I had tried it again a lot sooner. I recommend this to ANYONE who suffers from hyperhidrosis, it is a life changer. I was getting anxiety, not wanting to work in fear of someone seeing my sweat.  I have never been so happy."


"I started taking this drug a few years ago for post partum depression. Was on it for a year and went off. I had severe eye floaters while taking it and when I weened off of it very slowly I had major heart palps, blurry vision, would feel like there was warm water dripping down my leg. It was very weird. However, while on it I did feel better emotionally and lost weight. Recently because of several adverse events in my life I decided to try it again. Again, the eye floaters are back. Had some muscle spasms and shakiness. Right now it's 5:30 in the morning and I've been up since 3:30am. I usually take melatonin and that totally helps but I forgot to take it before bed. However, once again it has helped me emotionally in a big way."
