"I'm 19 and have been suffering with migraines for about a year now. My GP advised me to try Relpax out as it was impacting my work life. I am on the 80mg dosage and it does work really well. I already suffer from photosensitivity and when a migraine hits, a simple phone light is unbearable. Within a couple of hours my added light sensitivity and nausea is gone and my head pains dulls down to a mild inconvenience. I am there rare case in which the side effects include jaw and neck pain. When I do take it my jaw feels like its ready to explode but after the 2 hour mark there is no more pain.
I would recommend this to people who are suffers but just be weary of the side effects."


"My husband suffered from migraine headaches throughout his life. He was prescribed Stadol ns. His migraines became more constant as his body craved Stadol. He was going through 5 bottles a week and had a callous on his palm from using it. This was back in 1996-1998. He went through rehab.  It did stop his migraine, just to bring them back stronger and more often. PLEASE ASK YOUR FAMILY IF YOUR PERSONALITY IS CHANGING. Please listen to them."


"My experience with Brintellix has been terrible. This is the worse anti-depressant I have ever taken. Bad if you have insomnia. Bad if you have problems with rumination. Bad if you have anxiety. Enough said."


"I had an open hemicolectomy a few months back, and they had me on this stuff for a week. I am resistant to a lot of pain meds, and pain was so bad when it ran out, I really appreciated it despite the disorientation and floaty feeling it gave me, I was sleeping as much as possible anyway. They gave me Tramodol when I got out of the hospital, and it was nowhere near as effective, even in a double dose."


"I started the Lupron at the beginning of the summer, April 2011 to be exact.  The only side effect I can say I had trouble with was the hot flashes but nothing unbearable and usually over pretty quick.  The first 3-4 weeks after an injection, I would have issues with vaginal dryness but again, nothing unbearable.  I had no mood swings or crazy headaches but I have been constantly plagued with headaches since I was a child so I wouldn't know if this had any effect on those.  Overall, it has been a totally bearable experience and the hot flashes were nothing compared to the pain I had before the Lupron.  I would suggest it if your endometriosis is bad enough."


"I will keep this as brief as possible; Nexplanon is ruining my life. In the very short time that I have had this thing in my arm I have been more emotional than I was when I was 16. I tried two different meds to balance my hormones but they do not fully work. I had no libido at first I am breaking out like I just started puberty and my anger is 10x what it should be. The only perk is that I have no period but I feel bloated as all hell all the time. I do not recommend this product if you like being sane."


"I've been smoke-free for 4 years - took Chantix for two months and although I had some insomnia and strange dreams when I could sleep, I had no wish to smoke!"


"I started using Victoza since 3/25/11 and I have lost 4 lbs. I had the nausea and the bad burping but it is subsiding. I started at 0.6 and now I am at 1.2. I have always been afraid of needles but I am getting used to it. Every time I feel a sore throat or a pain I wonder if it is the medication. Aside from that my constipation is bad. After all this negatives on my mind I like the way my numbers have gone down."


"For those that are experiencing headaches and nausea, drink a glass of milk before taking Bactrim.  This always works for me."


"Been on Adalat for the winter period started off good but after 2 months my left leg and ankle swelled and itched like crazy felt like dozens of bees stinging my leg.  I knocked the Adalat off and it was OK doctor has now put me on Naftidrofuryl going to try but looks as though there's other side effect's with these tablets but give them a go. Anyone had a re-action with these capsules ."


"Had been using Temazepam for some years 2 - 3 X a month for insomnia during full moon events.  Last Fall, I discovered that Temazepam gave me other relief as well.

Developed renal stone, prostate, & diverticulosis issues that began to significantly interfere with my sleep.  I'd wake because of bladder & kidney discomfort, have a minimally productive urination with a fair amount of UT irritation, return to bed & soon experience rising irritability from my colon requiring another bathroom trip, this time for a minimally productive bowel movemen with no return to deep sleep and the cycle repeating 2 - 3 more times in the next 4 hours making for poor sleep and a distinctly irritable attitude upon rising. No problem with Temazepam!"


"Let's start with the fact that l just cried for 20 minutes bc of the acne this pill has given me. I've been on it for exactly 2 weeks and never seen a pimple in my life. Suddenly my entire forhead is covered in pimples. I was put on this pill because I got my period every 5 days and it lasted for 6-11 days. No blood or spotting since l went on the pill which is a miracle for me! But I am still pretty upset about my skin."


"I'm 6'8" and 128kg. Was prescribed 500mg twice a day.
Experienced extreme dizziness and light headedness. Felt very faint. Not a chance I could drive, I couldn't even walk in a straight line."


"This week make it my third week on the pill, I haven't seen any result. I'm also on a 1200 calories a day and run 5 miles 3x a wk. Ever since I started the medicine, I'm feeling very sad and depressed I'm not sure if that comes from the pills. I'm ready to stop because I rather be happy instead of taking the pills with no result and   side Effects. I wasted $$. Congrats!!! to the ones that it works for."


"Absolutely the worst medication I've ever taken! Was given for abnormal bleeding (after ruling out literally every other possible cause.) After a few days I was so exhausted I could barely function, I had extreme mood swings and could not stand to be around anybody. I was no longer interested in having any contact with significant other (and haven't since.) I didn't continue taking for very long maybe 10 days, I became so enraged over minimal things I figured it was a choice between taking the med and end up in prison for murder or continue dealing with bleeding that I've been dealing with for years."


"I am back on Lexapro after 2 years off. I commenced taking 20mg about 6 days ago and the side effects were quite severe for the first few days (No appetite, upset stomach, insomnia, fogginess, grinding, jittery, cold sweats and no sex drive). However, that has subsided a little and I am now feeling quite calm and much less toxic towards myself. I am actually feeling quite carefree for a change and things don't seem to be affecting me as they had been for too long...my head is giving me a holiday. It is great to know that they helped me before and I know that they are going to help me get through again."


"I was on TriNessa for 5 months and at first everything went well. I had no problems with it but after my 3rd month I started noticing really bad emotional changes. I started of being moody and then it went on to crying everyday at night. I got to the point where I was really depressed and didn't want to do anything. Oh and also my jaw would hurt a lot after taking the pill."


"I take it at night in order to sleep because of a bad insomnia side effect from a MAOI. But now, if I miss just one night of the med, I wake up with paralyzing anxiety - chest tightness and heart palpitations. This drug does its job most of the time but it creates physical and psychological dependency and an AM hangover. I am looking to wean off of this soon once my new psychiatrist introduces other med changes. I see other users below saying they cut them in half - my psychiatrist said that is dangerous because of the XR properties. That is why the XR pills are not scored. I repeat - regular use of this med creates dependency."


"This acne medication is amazing! Has nearly completely cleared up my severe body acne (chest and back) in almost two weeks. The only downside is the harsh drying side effect it has had on my skin as well as the rash that started two days after use. In saying this, the rash cleared right up with some hydro-cortisone cream so it wasn't a super big deal. All in all, it really does work and I am super pleased with my results."


"Third colonoscopy but the first using Suprep.  Read a few reviews to inform myself and decided to use ideas of getting the 6 oz bottles really cold before mixing and drinking.  Took a half hour to kick in and since this process isn't easy for me to handle with carpet on floors, etc. I"ve been sitting for almost two hours now.  Things happen quickly and mentally I feel better in my bathroom rather than worrying about cleaning everything up.  The taste wasn't that bad; drank it through a straw as suggested by someone and drank the other two 16 oz already.  Second round is at 1:30 a.m. for a 6:30 appointment in the morning.  Hope I can get some sleep in between somehow."


"I was prescribed 10 mg of this medicine twice daily. After seeing no results, my doctor increased the dosage to three times daily, and it has helped a lot. Taken in conjunction with an antidepressant also helps. However, although this medicine isn't addictive, I worry about what I'm going to do if I have to stop taking it."


Herpes Simplex, Mucocutaneous/Immunocompromised Host

"I am on a regimen program of Valtrex and I take 4 tablets on the onset of fever blister of the lips then 4 tablets 12 hours later.  Then, My Doctor prescribed 1 Valtrex daily forever.  It's well worth it.  I have not had any break outs since my Doctor put me on this prevention program.  I highly recommend Valtrex and am well satisfied with the results.  "


"I was taking Cymbalta, and all of a sudden it quit working. My Docs office had samples so I starting taking the brintellix. After my first week I went back to the doctor and told them I didn't feel any change, so she bumped me up to 20mg. I now feel so calm and my mood is better, and I am more sociable. This is a excellent medication."


"I suffer from sinus infections about every two months that lead into bronchitis within days of the first symptom. Usually I get the Zpack but have been on Augmentin and Ceftin trying to find something that works better. This time the clinic doctor prescribed the Avelox and I am on day 3 right now, my sinuses are draining, and the tightness in my chest is better. Unfortunately I am getting horrible diarrhea now, which is not fun when you are coughing a lot."


"I had both knees replaced this year, one January and one in February. I weighed 300lbs in January and 312 in February and climbing. I rehabbed my knees, went back to work and still gained weight, up to 320! Went to my Dr after researching online the best diet pill. She was very reluctant to give me any diet pill. But did agree I needed something, so prescribed Qsymia. My insurance denied it until I first tried Phentermine. I took that for about 6 weeks lost 20 lbs, then my insurance let me take Qsymia. I've been on it for about 2 1/2 months. Between both pills I'm down 70lbs! I have changed how I eat totally though. I gave up diet coke, I only eat non processed fresh foods that I make, with the exception of lunches at work, low cal frozen m"


"I'm 21 and have had the skyla almost 2 months and it has been wonderful! Insertation wasn't as bad as I had read in reviews, but I just had a baby 6 weeks before. It was a lot of pressure but wasn't long, had a couple of cramps after my doctor put it in, but then stopped a few minutes later and I never cramped again, I don't ever feel it. My husband felt it the first time we had sex within the first week, but now doesn't feel it. I haven't expierenced anything bad! Haven't gotten pregnant and my face had really cleared up, no weight gain so far! I would recommend this to anyone!"


"I did a lot of research before deciding Nexplanon was a good option for me. Insertion was much more painful than I expected from reading other reviews and there was intense bruising for a couple weeks after the procedure. On the bright side I've been on it for a couple months so far and the only period I've had was the week of the procedure and none after that. My skin is a little worse off than it was on the pill but not unmanageable. The only other major side effects are that my libido has almost completely disappeared and I have gained a bit of weight  I can't seem to shake(although I'm actively working out and dieting). It's great as far as birth control goes - but consider the side effects before trying!"


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"Midrin is the best thing I have found to help my headache but sometimes I have to take up to five pills to feel relief."


"It cured my pain (trigeminal neuralia), but I had nasty side effects at first: mild headaches, nausea, tired, feeling too full and bloated (even when not eating), weight gain, dizzy, etc. I stuck with it, and after two weeks I was still feeling bloated and headaches, and continued to gain weight. I researched ways to counteract the negative effects, and started taking a B6 supplement (for weight gain) and an herbal diuretic (for the bloat). I no longer feel bloated, and the headaches are gone. I'm on my 4th (or 5th?) week of lyrica, and am feeling much better. I don't think I'm still gaining weight, but it's too soon to tell. I wasn't eating any more or less than usual, so if the B6 helps, that would be nice."


"I started using Adipex March 08 weighing in at 332lbs. As of September 08 now 284lbs. Lost 48lbs in 6 months. At first had a little trouble going to sleep but that went away after a coule of weeks. I think that the pill is totally worth it. Now I have REALLY picked up my exercise routine and I am now very cautious about what I eat. Very little starch at all. Exercise consists of 3-4 miles on treadmill at 6-7 mph then 30-45 minutes in a sauna EVERY DAY. I would suggest taking the pill for 2-3 weeks then laying off for a week. This is what has worked for me."


"I have been on Lotrel for 3 weeks and I'm having several side effects. I'm very lethargic, no energy (no energy to exercise), I even fall asleep an hour after taking the medicine, depressed, my head tingles, my fasting glucose has risen at least 10 points and the worst is I have gained 15 pounds! I had lost 30lbs and maintained since August. It was difficult and the weight loss was slow. My eating hasn't increased. My husband agrees. Morbid obesity can raise your blood pressure. This medicine is pulling my blood pressure down but the side effects are essentially making things worse. This medication isn't a good fit for me."


"Used Calmoseptine for both of my children, it always has worked wonders on diaper rash, mosquito bites, scrapes, lots of things."


"After a course of antibiotics, I had some slight discharge for a week, no itching or burning, but I thought I should go ahead and use a Monistat. I popped it in at 9:30 and went to bed. At 1:30am I was RIPPED from my sleep by the most horrible itching. There is no way I'm going back to sleep tonight. Thank goodness I don't have to work tomorrow, there is no way I could function normally. I will just lay here till I deem it a reasonable hour to take a shower and hopefully get some relief."


"I have been on Sprintec for three months now. I had minor acne before and after the first few weeks, my skin was completely cleared up.  The only issue I had was during the first month I had problems sleeping.  However, that is a common side effect of any birth control pill. I also got a yeast infection last month and while oral contraceptives give you a higher risk of contracting a yeast infection, so do antibiotics. So I would recommend taking cranberry pills and acidophilus on a regular basis! But overall, I would recommend Sprintec. It does it's job."


"I have Firbromyalgia and I take 3 to 4 daily depending on how bad the pain is for that day. Less pain and it's way worth it."


"This is the first and only medication we've given to my 6yo son since being diagnosed with adhd in January 2016. It works very well. We give him his dose at 6:30am during the school year and the teacher notices it wearing off by about 2pm. The only noticeable side affects were a slight decrease in appetite the first few weeks, and slightly more difficulty when settling down for bed at night.  We no longer have either issue.  It is pricy. We pay $$65/month with our insurance plan. We live in PA and have to pick up the prescription from the doctor's office each month. We've also had an issue occasionally when our pharmacy does not have quillivant in stock. When this happened we had to drive to several pharmacies to find one who had it."


"I was put on this birth control after I had been on a progesterone only pill which made my usually clear skin break out horribly. Once I started taking this pill my skin cleared up. My periods are shorter and my cramps less severe. I have had weight gain but that's more due to my lack of exercise and being in college. I sometimes get headaches during the placebo pill days but those are easily combated by advil."


"Use on lower back and neck vertebrae 4 times a day. This works well for me and relieves pain quickly."


"I'm just about to finish my first pack, so I don't know how helpful my experience with the pill is at this point. So far, my acne has not changed :/ I have had breakouts of small bumps and some larger pimples around my chin and mouth area since high school (I'm 24 now) and I've just about exhausted every other acne medication option. I'm hoping in the next couple packs I will start to see a difference. In terms of my mood, alertness, activity, weight - no complaints, I feel great! I felt a little emotional and irritable the first couple of weeks when my body was adjusting, but nothing crazy. I still work full-time and work out 2-3 times a week with no unusual tiredness. I haven't noticed any weight gain either!"


"I have mild atopic and have been using this ointment for over a week applying twice a day. Have felt less itchy however no changes on my skin has cleared up. Since I'm dark skin the spots are actually getting darker which is strange. Don't know what all the hype was with this drug but so far I am not impressed. Going to complete the treatment and post my verdict then."


"I have used Xanax since 1996. I love it. It has saved my life so many times, I can't count. I have gone through different times in my life, where I had to take 9mgs a day just to survive the panic attacks. My attacks come in cycles. I have had them since 7 years old and I am now 39. I am so tired of them and feeling them. I had a big one today as a matter of fact. I am going through withdrawl of getting off of Lexapro. I am never without my Xanax though. Simply carrying it around helps keep off the panic attacks sometimes. If I hadn't had it, I would have been put away or had killed myself long ago, because having panic attacks is no way to live."


"As far as effectiveness, I did not get pregnant while taking this medication. However, I experienced so many side effects I eventually stopped taking it and switched back to Ortho-tri-lo. I experienced problems with mood swings, irritability, anxiety (racing heart and anxious feelings for no reasons), depression, cramps, spotting, headaches, decreased sex drive, weight gain, breast/nipple tenderness and vaginal irritation. All of these are side effects I had never experienced with Ortho, so I switched back and have little to no side effects. It definitely was not worth the money saved because it made me feel like a crazy person and I really did not have control over my emotions, I would experience all extremes especially anger and crying."


"I've found this to be the best diabetes medicine I've used.   In the extended release version it provides consistent and significant reduction of blood sugar readings.  My A1C dropped two full points with this medicine alone."


"I have suffered from RLS and PLMD for years.  The last few years I've been taking Sinemet, which worked great in the beginning but gradually lost its effectiveness.  I was up to 3 pills a day and the RLS was worse than ever.  My neurologist just started me on Mirapex and it is incredible.  One pill at night and I get a good nights sleep.  I'm also not getting the RLS during the daytime anymore. I haven't felt this good in a long time!  No side effects either."


"So my doctor put me on the shot after a hormone treatment stopped working. I had heavy periods and unbEarable cramps. The depo shot worked really well for the first two shots. I only had bleeding when it was time for a shot. After my third shot I hVe had not stop bleeding. I think I'm going to try one more shot and see if anything changes. Other then the bleeding I have had almost not side effects. I have lost weight since going on it. Overall I think it worth it."


"I had two of my boys at 34 wks and one at 29 wks. I started with Makena injections at 16wks for this pregnancy had last injection last week 36wks. I'm so exicted I'm now 37 wks pregnant and still going been having some contraction but not to frequent. Thanks to Makena for the first time not having a premie baby and if everything goes well I will finally get the experience of taking my baby home with me instead of leaving them at NICU. Waiting to meet my baby girl scheduled for c section 07/21/17. My insurance covered it but had a very high co payment ,but thanks to copayment assistance I only had to pay 25dls out of pocket once a month."


"I have used Antivert for seasickness and it may be the only thing I've used that really works.  The over the counter medications for car sickness did not work for me.  Also the medicated pad you wear behind the ear (scopolamine, I think) litterly puts me out for hours -- maybe you could cut a small piece.  Antivert also makes me sleepy, but less than the others.  My friend has vertigo and uses it for that with success.  It has to be prescribed, however."


"My doctor seems to only identify with how it effects him, which he sometimes takes when going on a long trip.  He says, It lasts for 8 to 12 hours.  No on me 3 to 4 hours.  I looked up what other narcoleptics said.  They said they take 250 mg twice a day.  That would be good, but who can afford it.  My part is $300 for once a day.  I have not experienced any side effects that I am aware of, but I am taking the next four days without any nuvigil to see if my sleep wake pattern gets better.  My present problem may or may not be related to nuvil.  I don't know.  I wake up in the middle of the night wide awake.  Sometime I can go back to sleep after 3 or 4 hours, but sometimes I never do.  So, I am functioning, poorly, on about 4 hours of sleep"


"I used Oxycontin to deal with leg and terrible back pain.  I was taking Vicodin, and if I didn't get ahead of my pain, I ended up using as many as 8 a day.  All of the acetaminophen was damaging my liver.  When I switched insurance companies, I had a regular doctor and a new pain management doctor, who told me that the Oxycontin was a better medicine for chronic pain because it does not have the ups and downs that Vicodin has, because Vicodin only lasts about 4 hours.  I used the medicine for many years.  I now use the Fentanyl patch with great results!"


"I have been taking 1 tablet of Nifedipin(e) XL 30 mg ER for almost 2 years. I stop in the summer and start again when it gets cold and that works well for me. I haven't had any of the side effects such as rashes or headaches but I have been very tired and now that I think of it, it's probably because I've been taking it during the day instead of at night like I used to. The only problem with that is if you like to have a cocktail and for times like that I just don't take it."


"With Prednisolone 75mg 3 tablets for five days and Levofloxacin 500 mg one capsule for 15 days my bronchitis severity is much less but sudden spasms of cough continue

Not returned to feeling normal"


"The convenience of Mirena is phenomenal; have it inserted and you're good to go for years. There is a little pain at first, but the peace of mind is worth it. My periods are less frequent and less heavy, and I have fewer hormonal mood swings. I've had my Mirena for 2.5 years and overall, I love it."


"Like many of these other readers I've had the same experience.  I was given samples to try by a dermatologist and I applied it on a Saturday afternoon.  Sunday afternoon I looked in the mirror and was in shock.  My face was super blotchy and a very intense red spottiness.  Definitely worse looking that it had ever been initially.  It almost leaves skin with a withdrawal type symptom.  I cannot afford laser treatment and I do not know where else to turn as I wake up every morning like this and am having to rely on this lotion to clear my face to be presentable at my job."


"I have been on 5mg of lex for a month and this works a bit, I have tried to go up to 10mg but than I feel like crap,so I am stuck at 5mg. Probably the only AD medication that I have ever been able to stay on.."


"Have been fighting insomnia for years. Previously on Lunesta then Ambien because of insurance approval. Ambien was no longer working after a year and I came to the conclusion it was due to dependency and I wanted to quit. My doc suggested trazodone as it is non habit forming. Tried 50mg and it knocked me out through the night and most of the next day. Horrible hangover and dizzy feeling.  I layed off for a few days then cut the pill in half to 25mg and was not at all effective. Next night took 3/4 of the tab and again knocked me out and zonked most of the next day. Think I'm giving on this. "


"I was crying all the time and sad a lot."


"I had surgery on my shin/calf area today which took over an hour. I was totally unconscious the entire time and don't remember a thing until waking up. I did not have to be intubated. I do have a sore throat, but not intolerable. I had some mild nausea for about an hour. I was driven home by a friend and after a 2 hour nap, I felt good."


"No side effects but didn't take away the itch or infection. I had to buy monistat 7, which made me itch worse."


"I call it a miracle drug like most others who have shared their comments. I have been taking it now for 7 months, currently 450mg a day (for treatment of fibromyalgia). I gained about 20 pounds within 2 months which I desperately needed to do. Overall, I have a better life now thanks to Lyrica. Nothing that I have been prescribed in the last 14 years has even came close to treating my condition."


"I have bipolar disorder with anxiety problems. My nurse practitioner  at my psychiatrist office persribed buspar for my anxiety. I got home took it and went to bed, only to wake up in the middle of the night with the bed soaked in sweat, i'm burning up with my heart beating so fast my chest was hurting. I went back to my old medicine after that."


"The medicine saved my second pregnancy (with twins). It enabled me to eat normally most of the time although I did have a bit of nausea. There was no adverse effect on my twins - both are healthy 18 months later. Great drug."


"Hi! I just wanted to share my experience for those who are out there scared to death to take something that may help them, something your brain may need. Long story short, I was diagnosed with GAD/Panic seven years ago at the age of 19 when my brother was diagnosed with a severe psychiatric mental illness - one that changed his life as well as my families. I began having full blown nocturnal panic attacks, depersonalization, along with extreme anxiety/panic. I tried CBT, changing my diet, doing meditation/yoga, journaling, deep breathing, etc. Nothing worked & nothing helped me overcome this except Lexapro. I am currently a RN and believe my brain needs this medication. Please don't be scared or ashamed if you need to take something to help."


"Received dose at 11am, by 10pm that night I had fever,chills, severe pain in back. I was extremely ill for 3 days, such a severe headache I couldn't open my eyes. A week later my hands suddenly swelled to the point I could not use them. Now nearly 3 months later I am in physical therapy to try to regain the strength in my legs. Other side effects were less severe, such as jaw pain for a few weeks. I would never ever take this medicine again."


"Works extremely well to prevent my migraines."


"No side effects at all... wiped it out first day."


"Initially on citalopram 20mg and felt horrible and more panicky so doctor moved me on to Sertraline 50mg and propranolol  to stop the fast heart rate. Eventually built upto 100mg but still didn't solve the anxiety and restlessness that I had. Now I'm taking Amitryptyline 25mg twice a day and feel so much better. I don't feel as anxious during the day and at night when my anxiety gets worse, amitryptyline helps me get a good nights sleep. I've noticed a big difference since being on amitryptyline and with less side effects that citalopram and sertraline."


"20 year old college student. I've had OCD since I was a kid (depression since junior year of high school) but only within the last year did I make the choice to take an SSRI. There's a lot of ambiguity surrounding antidepressants, and you can't really extract much from reviews without feeling reluctant. Yes, there are side effects that appear within the early stages. It is scary to ingest a drug you know little about. However, I can feel happy again, which I thought I had lost the ability to do. I don't believe everything is hopeless, which I, truthfully, thought I'd feel the rest of my life. It's been a lifesaver, and at 100mg, nothing feels inherently different about myself. It's just a tablet. Don't let it be more than it ought to be."


"I started on Belviq after having 5 months of down time due to atrial fib flutter and my MS acting up on me.  Before that, I had been working out 5 days a week and had been eating healthy to get the weight off.  I had gone down from 435 to 345 on my 5'9 frame, but depression set in and I stopped losing.  My doctor was hesitant about putting me on the med because I am on Pristiq, but I am watching for Serotonin Syndrome.  In one week I have lost 8 pounds and I would rather give up the Pristiq than the Belviq!  My mood has improved so much that I am going to try weaning myself off the Pristiq (under my doctor's supervision!)
will return with more updates!

"


"I took Ciprofloxacin to treat a gut infection caused by Aeromones that showed up on a stool test. I was first prescribed Bactrim, which caused intense tachycardia, dizziness, nausea, and dysphoria.

Cipro DID cause waves of dizziness and nausea, which meant I couldn't drive right after taking it. It would have been a problem if I had been working. But in the end, the side effects were mostly tolerable knowing that the infection had to be dealt with.

After I finished my 10 day course, I had some weakness and exercise intolerance. My doctor prescribed supplements to rebuild my mitochondria."


"I was put on this medicine after anxiety issues. It made things so bad that I was havin severe anxiety attacks was constantly jittery and unable to concentrate. I had severe hot flashes made my heart race like crazy and lots of chest pain. I discontinued after 3 doses of 10 mg after 3 days."


"I am more than half way through the starter pack and have been vomiting almost daily.  I have had no major breakthrough in pain either.  I was so hoping this was the miracle I was waiting for."


"This patch was not very useful to me. All it did was irritate my skin and cause a huge loss in appetite. While on this, however, I lost no weight. "


"After starting on Victoza 3 weeks ago I have lost 12 pounds and fasting levels are at about 90 each morning. Side effects went away in a couple days, but my doctor had me stay on 0.6 for 10 days to let my body get used to it. I'm on 1.2 now and not losing weight as fast, but am learning to eat small amounts. It doesn't take much to feel full. Good medicine as far as I'm concerned."


"December 4th will be my third month with Mirena. I'm 18 years old and could not be happier. I have had one period so far right on time, lasted a solid 5  days will no cramping and I've been spotting ever since. The spotting isn't bad, somedays it requires a panty liner, other days it's not even noticable. I have full faith the spotting will stop within the next 3 months. It's not enough to keep me from having sex, so it's really no problem at all. I'd reccommend this to every woman. Insertion was about eequivalent pain to getting a tattoo but shorter (only lasted 30 seconds) and cramps after lasted a few hours. I went back to classes the next day, was able to run again within 3 days. The strings are perfect length. 10/10"


"I have had the implanon since dec. 2014 i started out as 127lbs it is now sept 2015 and my weight is now 170, Since I turned 18 I have not had a problem in my weight gain/loss. I haven't changed the amount I excercise or what I eat, this implant makes me constantly hungry, emotional (over the top) and  it very very very hard to keep weight off and to even loose it. Ive tried to diet change my way of eating and nothing has been working. I have always had the same period, i just couldnt remember to take the pill because i wasnt always waking up in the morning at the same time. I am getting this Implant taken out ASAP"


"I recently had 3 very painful surgeries within 3 weeks. It's been a month & one week since my last surgery & I've been on Oxycodone IR 15mg every 3 hours (max 8 pills per day) ever since. I am a recovering heroin addict so this is a very slippery slope however i am now being tapered down VERY SLOWLY by one pill every 2 weeks until I can be off of them completely. I have a very patient & understanding pain mgmt dr. This med works extremely well as a pain reliever & is also very calming. I see the potential for addiction & the only downside is how fast tolerance develops. After a month & a half I feel like I need 30mg every 3 hours to do what 15mg did before but still it eases my pain & that is all that counts. I have zero side effects too!"


"This drug may be that comes from Heaven, but you must have insight in order to you may have no barrier to take this nearly perfect drug."


"I've been using it for 10 years and I'm heading to Stanford University for detoxification,  wish me luck."


"I'd been on Restoril 30mg for years, had to stop taking it for 3-5 days/month. It seemed very harsh. Doctor prescribed Librax for stomach problem and every time I took one, I got sleepy.  I asked him to prescribe high-dose Librium for sleep instead of Restoril. I now take 25mg at bedtime and it works great."


"I know this is a process, but it sucks.  I'm now taking 40 mg of Prozac and it literally does nothing for me. I started with Zoloft, and at least that was an appetite suppressant  Both Zoloft and Prozac just make me tired, which is the opposite of what I'm looking for.  My goal is to gain energy and be able to do...anything...other than sleep."


"My friend was on it a few months before me and I saw her skin clear in about 3 weeks. I was looking forward to the same thing happening to my skin. Unfortunately, my acne got MUCH worse!!! For a little more than 2 months my skin showed no sign of improvement and I wanted to give up. My mom told me to hang in there for one more month, and I'm glad I did. After about 2 and a 1/2 months, my skin just began clearing. And once I started noticing a difference, all pimples were gone in a week. Dry lips were hardly there thanks to Aquaphor. DO NOT PICK at your face. No matter how many people told me not to, I did it anyway and have scars. Also, Cetaphil lotion is a blessing. Back pain started around month 3 but its a small price to pay."


"I have recently reviewed the side effects associated with this medication and have found I have experienced quite a few of them. To my dismay, and my overall naiveness, these have contributed to some of the most uncomfortable and embarrassing situations. First and foremost, I had to have cataracts removed from both eyes just two years ago. Then there are the two bouts of pneumonia, the most recent was double pneumonia. Weight gain nearly impossible to control, swelling of feet and lower legs is becoming far too frequent these days, numbness in the extremities, rashes have been getting even worse than they have been in a while, suffered through shingles, eczema, and other strange and sundry skin maladies. I've been on it too long, obviously."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Prep is not all that difficult although I am a little sore and did get chills for awhile.  But come on!  I drank the prep at noon and at 6 pm with a straw and had it down both times in two minutes.  Do not sip it.  Get it over with.  It has done a good job with getting the job done....   much much better than the high volume of liquid I had to drink lasT time."


"So far I've been on this medicine for 7 days and have lost 7lbs as of yesterday. I worked out 3 days for like 30 minutes each day. I have still ate the same but just have stayed away from sweets. My appetite completely is gone, I eat a little pouch of oatmeal in the morning and a Lean Cuisine for lunch. Sometimes I feel a little hungry and will have Greek yogurt in between. I do track my calories via MyFitnessPal app on my phone so that helps to not over eat. I did have a slight headache and felt a little jittery but nothing major at all. I was nervous because some reviews had me worried. Otherwise I am still taking it and I'm excited to see how much I lose this week! It is expensive by the way, luckily I have an insurance card that covers."


"I've Been on sertraline for about 4 year.  I've tried 3 times to get off it - it's hell.  I feel like I'm dying.  I need to get off. I don't care what I need to do . I'm never doing this again."


"On my first week of Contrave. Experiencing some very minor nausea and a "fuzzy" feeling, periodically. Nothing too overwhelming at this point. I'm hoping to lose weight for my sons wedding in April. I probably should have started this last year. But I'm determined. My cravings during the day are way down but at night they seem to increase. I'm hoping that as I incorporate my evening dose that will come to an end. Wish me luck!"


"Aviane is the second birth control I have taken, but the first that I have actually stuck to for a somewhat long period of time. I first started out with progestin-only Nora-be and I did not like it at all. Upon receiving Aviane, I was fairly excited to start. I heard mixed reviews but decided to start it anyway and let me tell you, I'm glad I did. Aviane has cleared up my acne almost completely. I used to suffer from mild acne and my skin is almost flawless. Also, my breasts seem to have enlarged. I feel like I may have gained weight due to an increased appetite but probably no more than 4-5 pounds which is worth not getting pregnant and having clear skin plus I'm fairly petite. I definitely plan to stay on Aviane for a long time! Love it!"


"I've been on this pill for about 5 years now and I have to say it is amazing.  One thing I will note is that before I first started using birth control I had very regular periods, I strictly went on the pill for extra protection when I went into college.  After starting the pill my periods became less heavy, and they became some what irregular as the years went on.  The first year on the pill I would have a very very light period each month BUT as the years went on I would get my period every 2-3 months.  As of now this is the 5th month that I have not got my period, I am not pregnant but it is very odd to go this long without a period.  Most woman would like that but I like knowing that I would get my period every month or so."


"I switched to Reclipsen three weeks ago from Ortho-Tri-Cyclen, and my skin has cleared up considerably. I haven't experienced any of the painful cystic acne that I was getting on Ortho Tri-cyclen. I haven't experienced any negative side effects from it either. Fingers crossed that it stays that way!"


"The worst weight-loss drug on the market, I actually gained four pounds."


"My son, then 12, started Paxil for social anxiety after going to a new school. The pediatrician gave us none of the warnings about the drug. He started him on 10 mg/day for 4 weeks and said, "We know this dose does nothing, but we need to load him. After 4 weeks, fill this prescription for 20 mg/day." At 2-3 weeks, my son was raising his hand and greeting teachers in the hall. At 4 weeks, he initiated a belligerent locker room incident with a boy who mocked him. After doubling the dose, he was verbally aggressive to us and ran away. When we found him, he was soaked in sweat. He later told a friend he'd "felt like jumping off something but didn't know what". His doctor had no idea how to wean him. We found a psychiatrist who did."


"After one bottle and an all day liquid diet all is clear; it works fast. Taste was not bad but I put one drop of peppermint essential oil in cold water which I mixed with the liquid and experienced no nausea or terrible taste issues. Went to work much faster than I expected about 15 minutes after drinking it I was going for the rest of the night."


"Have been taking Vardenafil for about two months now. Works great, but always have nasal cogestion and facial flushing within three to four hours afterwards."


"I have bulging disk in my lower back that usually do not give me problems that OTC NSAIDS do not help.  But, about 2-3 times a year the pain would get so bad I could hardly walk.  I was prescribed Flector patches and I could not believe how much better I felt the next day.  I was able to get out of bed and bend over with little to no pain.  These patches are so GREAT!!!!!"


"I have no issues with this birth control. And from reading what's happened to other people in so sorry. Luckily for me I've found my dream birth control. I had my first one out in May of 2012 and just had a new one put in last month. No pregnancies not even a missed period. Big bruise at first but that is expected. It takes some getting used to in your body it is a foreign object, but the implant is different for us all I hope it works for others as much as it does me"


"I never had acne untill I hit 19, I let it go for a while thinking it would go away, then I tried a whole variety of home remedies, over the counter treatments, supplements and stopped wearing makeup and NOTHING was working. I went to my GP fed up and with low self esteem and she prescribed me epiduo! At first I was skeptical, after all it was just a cream but then I began to use it. For the first month I had terrible irritation and burning, my skin would crack and peel but I was so determined to clear my skin I pushed on. Around the 50 day mark a miracle happened!! Not 1 pimple! And I haven't had one since! My skin is just amazing now, people are complimenting me all the time about it and I feel fantastic!"


"I've been taking this pill for months now & I always feel dizzy and lightheaded in the mornings. I'm not sure if this is all just the pill but I didn't start feeling this way till I got on it. I feel like throwing up. If I smell food, see food, or even try to eat it I want to throw up so bad. Maybe I should eat when I take it? I'm not sure but the feeling sucks so much because I'm in highschool dealing with it. It lasts about an hour and a half then I feel just fine. It stopped for about a week and now it's back and j sorta felt it all day."


"I just started Enbrel 2 weeks ago and it seems to be working. I just wanted to let people know that there is a payment assistance program offered by the Enbrel manufacture. I couldn't afford the medicine but I contacted the manufacture and they gave me a card that helps pay for it. Look into that before giving up on the option of having this medicine."


"Well, I've been taking quetiapine for insomnia since last week. It did not solve my sleep problems. In fact, in the early days it was more complicated to sleep with my head full of thoughts. Since then, I continue to sleep and wake up very early in the morning. I started on 25 mg, going on to 50 mg, then 75 mg and now 100 mg. For the first two days, I felt a lot of sedation during the day. But now nothing else and still continues sleep problems."


"My son has been on this medication since September. I have taken him off. I didn't even recognize him his emotions were so high and the anger and aggression was unbelievable!"


"I was dx'd with PCOS @18yrs. Didn't start taking metformin until 20 for 3years. I took 500mg 3xdaily. This med helped regulate my cycles and aid weight loss. 30lbs loss in less than a year. And best of all I was able to conceive.  Now fast forward to 31yrs old and I'm now back on 500mg once daily to manage my symptoms and to keep the diagnosis of diabetes away. If you can get past the diarrhea, it's a great med that does help."


"Took 1 8mg Cardura daily.  Experienced dizziness and nausea for the first 3 days but later adjusted to the medication and  maintained pressure around 120/80.  On doctor's advise, Cardura discontinued and replaced with alternative medication due to  excessively fast pulse/heart rate up to 100/s after 6 months on Cardura"


"I'm a 43 year old woman and I've been on 30mg Remeron for over 10 years now, it was prescribed for major depression and generalized anxiety disorder. I was NOT sleeping at all, when I first started taking it I was a walking zombi for about 2-3 months (got some much needed sleep) however after that it's like someone opened a window in a dark room. I was feeling 80% normal (prior to taking it I was in the negative) I'll take 80% any day.
You should take it an hour or so before bed time because it has a huge sedative effect and take care in the beginning because its potent to begin with. It takes time for it to start really working so don't be put off by the zombi state, it does go away."


"I was sick with sinus infection and was taking Mucinex. I thought to myself, I am going to be extra sore since I am home from work and resting more than usual because I was not feeling well. I was shocked when after taking Mucinex for a few days, my pain was gone. No more tender spots. My arms had been really bad lately and when I touched them, they were no longer sore. I had no idea of the connection at the time. I googled Mucinex and was amazed that I found studies that something for a cold could possibly help with fibromyalgia. I stopped taking it and the symptoms came back so I started taking it again. I take 2-3 400mg a day. I call this experience accidentally on purpose. It may not work for everyone as we're all different but its worth trying."


"Aside from ice and rest it's an absolute wonder. I can sleep, I can work and I can relax without crying inside. It's the best since aspirin."


"Well I'm 39 and have been having some unexplained weight loss. My doctors and I have been taking the steps to try to rule out what may be causing it. We have determined my gallbladder is bad, but the doc also wanted to do a Colonoscopy and an Upper Endoscopy to rule anything else out. Like some of the others I started my day with a liquid diet. It seems to help. The at 8pm was my first dose of Suprep. There is no comparison between taste and smell. It smells like cherries but has a very salty taste. About 30 minutes in it hit me for the first round. Not to bad. Once the initial dose and the 2-16oz bottles of water passed through, my trips seemed to slow down. My next dose was at 1am and again 2-16oz bottles of water. Be glad when I'm done!"


"I was put on the Nuvaring for a dual purpose; birth control & ensuring I have a cycle since I normally don't (PCOS). The first few months were ok. I noticed a little lethargy and some mood swings, but not bad. However, by about month 6, I had two yeast infections that I couldn't cure. I also noticed that I was quicker to anger & mildly depressed. Started having Migraines and sharp pains in my abdomen. Complete loss of libido hit me about month 7, and that's when I decided to quit. Left it out for 2 months, decided to give it another try. Went into the deepest, darkest depression of my life. Went to see my therapist, upon finding out I was on the ring she said it's known to cause it. Took it out, in one day felt tons better. Never again!!"


"I was given Propafol today for my first colonoscopy ever (I am 65). I experienced tingling that rose up my arm and a distinct metallic taste in the mouth immediately after injection. I had just enough time to comment verbally on the sensation, then the next thing I knew I was waking up. I do not remember anything about the procedure and experienced no pain afterwards. The medical staff did comment that I coughed during my procedure. I felt a little groggy for 5-10 minutes after awaking, but was steady on my feet shortly after. The only side effects I've experienced are transient coughing and a headache a couple of hours after the procedure. The latter may have been due to low blood sugar from the colonoscopy prep."


"I'm on my second day. My skin was really clearing up. It has a few more pimples on it now. I'm very upset because I want my skin to be perfect before I start high school. I hope it starts to work! Will keep posted."


"Very, very good for back pain."


"I have taken this medicine on and off for 2 years and the side effects outweigh the benefits.
Terrible night cramps, dry mouth, coldness down to the bone all the time which goes away when I stop taking it. I can breath better with it but it is not worth the other side effects.  I have had Bronchitis and asthma since I was 8 yeas old and I am now 70."


"Allegra is the only allergy medicine that helps me.  Other prescription or over the counter medicines just seem to mask the problem, and they do not even do it that well for me.  My insurance company (Aetna) stopped covering it last year and I decided to use other brands because of the price of Allegra.  Next year I think I'll pay the money for the Allegra."


"Been on this for 4 months. First month I had a little neausea and I got my period twice in the first 3 weeks each time lasting about 4 days. After that it went straight to a normal cycle. I went from soaking through 4-5 pads a day on my heaviest days to just some brown discharge. No weight gain but I'm having a little harder time taking weight off (maybe in mh head?) Sex drive is down a little, but its a small price to pay to not act like a crazy woman! Even my husband says he can't believe the difference in my moods. (In a good way!) My face cleared up, and minimal period! Working wonders for me!"


"This medicine is wonderful!  I had the worse headache I had ever had and this medicine knocked it right out.  2 of the pills made me very sleepy but no headache!"


"I experienced the severe side effects of tendon pain. I would not advise taking this medicine unless death is the only option"


"Worst Birth Control I've ever taken going on my second week. I have stayed very nauseated and done nothing but cry. Do Not Recommend!"


"Avoid this drug at all costs!  I took it to bring down my prolactin levels which it did but I had some extreme side effects.  Severe depression, fatigue, lack of motivation just to name a few."


"I'm 16 years old and used to suffer from scarring acne. Accutane was AMAZING. At first, I was so scared to go on this medication due to side effects, but my doctor had finally talked me into it. I started seeing amazing results after about a month. My skin was pretty much clear by month 3. The only side effects I had were dry lips (However Aquaphor solved that problem) and dry skin (Cetaphil after washing face or shower solved that problem). I also had a huge change in attitude. I was much more active and my appetite changed. I LOST 30 lbs, I sometimes had cravings however I feel as though Accutane sped up my metabolism. Highly recommended, I feel beautiful now."


"I am bipolar and my whole life struggled with getting a good night's sleep.  Ambien 10MG worked great for 2 months, then stopped working well unless I chewed the pill and took it with 0.5 Klonopin.  Switched to Ambien CR but Ambien CR gives me less sleep - I know it says its supposed to keep you asleep longer and better but regular Ambien would give me 5 hours, wake up for the restroom (drink a lot of water as on lithium for bipolar) and if I take a tiny bite of a 0.5 Klonopin tablet, able to go back to sleep. Doctor gave me trazadone to help me sleep better as Ambien 10MG doesn't knock me out like at first after a few months -- trazodone with Ambien definitely knocked me out for 9 hours -- probably longer but the alarm was set."


"2 months ago I refused to be seen without makeup on infront of my family and friends in my OWN home, I was at a  loss and had visited the doctors numerous occasions to try and sort it, I had been on everything from creams to antibiotics and EpiDuo was my last option then I'd be referred to a specialist. Initially I hated the stuff, it burned my face like really really bad sunburn and I was constantly red but I persisted, now 2 months later I walked through  Birmingham Grand Central on a busy day with not a scratch of makeup on and felt completely comfortable with my skin! My friends asked if I had makeup on and were so shocked when I said no! I still have a few acne scars but they are dying down as the months go by, it's great"


"This has changed my life. I had sweated profusely since 2nd grade. My whole life up until a year ago I was never able to wear the clothes I wanted and I was embarrassed multiple times from sweating so much. I was a joke. But last spring (age 23) I started drysol and my life has changed. My only regret is that I didn't get it sooner in life."


"I used Diovan with Metoprolol Tartrate. Had to discontinue the metoprolol because it was interfering with my breathing. Now I feel much better just on the Diovan."


"Very good for GAD mixed with depression. I felt worse for 2 months but then felt amazing :) give it a chance"


"Hello you guys, the last time I shared my experience was 10/26/2017. I had lost 8lbs after being on them less than 2 weeks. I was doing great with minor side affects until I got to the last day of the 3rd week. OMG!!! I had the worse allergic reaction to this medication, even benadryl couldn't help. I began itching and broke out into hives and rashes all over my body! I took benadryl for 5 days, I took oatmeal baths, I even applied benadryl cream. The itching was so horrible, it felt as though my skin was on FIRE! I thought about going to the hospital, but I decided to stick it out until my doctor's appointment last Thursday, November 9, 2017. Contrave wasn't for me! I wouldn't DARE take it again!"


"Silver bullet for lumbar muscular spasm. 5mg at bedtime."


"I loved the Antibiotic. If you take probiotics and eat yogurt you'll be fine. If you're sensitive to antibiotics and get yeast infections easily. I recommend asking you GP for diflucan 2 pills take it 2 or 3 days into the antibiotic course then on day 6 or 7."


"My experience was fine, no side effects but I did end up getting pregnant.

Took the pill within the first 12 hrs, just a heads up it can definitely happen."


"I started the Dexamethasone 4MG only two mornings ago. The second day (yesterday) most of the pain was gone. However, beginning yesterday I've had 9 or 10 bouts of hi-coughing. Including 2 to 3:30 this morning. That symptom is not listed anywhere but it does seem odd that I hadn't suffered hi-coughs in years and years and never this long lasting.
Until speaking with my physician in the morning, I'm having to suspect an interaction with other medicines."


"I have used it one night and one day. Four inhales total. At first night. It causes laryngospasm. I almost choked. This horror is still with me two months passed. Even on day i had spasms. Mostly start with a cough. I am afraid if there is no cure for this. All my life changed. None of phsician knows this disease. They prescribe astma drugs. I searched on internet 13 cases reported so far. I am the 14th case. Stay away."


"It knocked me out."


"This is a follow-up to my review a few weeks ago.  I experienced no side effects at all up until I had injected the fourth time.  At that point, I began to have site itching, but I could live with that.  The fifth time was two days ago, and I was startled to see that the injection site was  angry  and red about the size of a silver dollar.  I still have itching, but the appearance of the site is alarming.  I worry about future injections causing a serious reaction.  There are also the lumps and nodules now.  Think I'll talk to my doctor tomorrow."


"I was prescribed Wellbuturin and Zoloft 14 months years ago after a very close call with suicide brought on by constant flashbacks of childhood sexual abuse. My psychiatrist started me on Zoloft, which saved my life by ending the flashbacks, and added Wellbutrin a few months later. The Wellbutrin helped me to get my joy for life going again! But, like a lot of people, when I felt better I weaned off. I didn't go down to the bottom, but my depression was slowly creeping back. I got back on it and I LOVE what it does for me. The only side effect I've had is really vivd dreams at times."


"Prior to this medication, I was depending on Nitro exclusively for Angina occurrence, with good results; I now take Isosorbide Dinatrate 10 mg three times daily with very little results, that I can determine. After every pill, I get angina in 1-2 hrs and this lasts until my next dosage. I don't think this medicine is appropriate for me."


"For acute anxiety this is AMAZING. Rapid racing heartbeat. Excessive sweating. Constant worrying. Over-analyzing. This medicine basically at 15MG gives you a feeling like you just drank a six pack and ate an amazing meal.  I take it with xanax and cymbalta. Buspar is the best non habit forming short term medicine to get your life back on track when life gets overwhelming."


"I am so thankful for Hypercare! It has changed my life. I was dealing with the sweating from 6th grade, I am now a freshman. I finally told my mom why I would not wear cute clothes. It helped right away. Now I don't stay up at night sobbing. But I have no clue how to stop the burning because it is almost unbearable. But I will stick with because I am tired of being bullied for it."


"I'm  33 year old female and was diagnosed with seizures at 31. They came out of no where. Had MRI and a eeg no signs of anything they were normal. With not be able to find what type of seizures they are its hard to find help from anywhere. I tried this medication trileptal and it is a nitemare for me. I started with 2 tablets a day along with keppra that I was already on. They may not work well together. But I've been in trileptal for 1 month now and since the seizures has picked up which I didn't like that at all. I called the doctor which is surpose to be a seizure specialist and she said to up the medication And that's when I noticed they were coming more than they normally do and I noticed up set stomach. No success with it at all!"


"This drug saved my life.  I had my first manic episode recently and the doctor put me on 200mg and 50mg Xr at bedtime.  I take Vraylar too.  I sleep well and my bipolar tendencies (rage and mania) are pretty much cured. It took two months before I was not fatigued the next day. I have no weight issues from this drug. Thank God for this drug and the doctor who prescribed it."


"I sleep like a baby while on this medicine. I dont wake up with a tense neck and shoulders. Im finally getting the rest I need. The only thing is I sometimes do not get enough sleep because of small kids and I wake up drowsy. Oh yeah and the dry mouth/lips. Other than that I love it."


"I started taking Buspar only a few days ago, 7.5 mg in the morning and evening and so far have experienced the dizziness only in the morning.  Had some nausea, but don't know if I can attribute that to the medication or the fact that I've stopped taking Ativan.  So far, so good though.  I do feel a little less anxious already and am excited to see the full results."


"My period was always a little weird. It usually would skip a month, I'd have it the next month, but it usually only lasted a few days. I took the pill early May within hours of my boyfriend's condom breaking. I got my period a few days later and it was early. About a week after it stopped it started again around my normal time. I didn't think any thing of it but I've now had four periods within a month."


"Given by a dentist for a dry socket. This medication was the only one we tried that actually took away the pain without the drowsiness or confused feeling normally experienced with pain medications. I would recommend it 100%."


"I had a very negative reaction to this antibiotic. Extreme fatigue, continuing muscle weakness (after approximately 5 weeks), very vivid and frightening dreams, slow improvement in my bronchitis. I will never take this again."


"Me and my boyfriends first time. We used the pullout method, NOT A SMART IDEA. He was more than positive he didn't ejactulate but I was still very scared. We are only teenagers. I took plan b 16 hours after the "incident". I experienced tender breast and spotting about 3 days later. Exactly a week later I got cramps the second day was much worse but the period came! Very heavy, clots and cramps. A month later no period but two negative pregnancy tests. Be aware it can make next period late but take a test to be sure. DON'T STRESS, THE PILL WORKS. And use protection loves."


"Really noted a mood lift by day 4...
I am now taking week 3 and the RX..
it seems to not be as effective.  (Today is day 4 of week 3) This is certainly a change.
I am here online to ascertain if there maybe some differences in the manufacturer etc. As I am very disappointed. I'm at 2 mg."


"Well, I have had polycystic ovarian syndrome symptoms since the age of 13. When I was 18 my doctor prescribed Yasmin. Before, I was overweight, had bad acne, excessive hair growth on body and face, and was just angry/depressed. After taking Yasmin, my skin was amazing, seriously! I lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks (was active though), hair didn't grow as much, I had more energy, and I was content. The only side effect I had was a small rash on my ankle, that cleared up in 2 days.
At that time, I only had a 28 day supply. I'm 26 now and haven't taken Yasmin since then. I've gained all the weight back plus more, I have way more hair growth and I'm angry and depressed all the time. I'm willing to try Yasmin again this year."


"I was constipated for a couple of days so I went to Walgreen and bought magnesiuim citrate. When I tell you this stuff is awesome people I mean it. About an hour later I was home free through out the time I felt stomach cramps and felt a little sick but it was worth it."


"I had the Paragard IUD for 6 months, I chose this particular birth control because it has no horomones! My experience getting the device inserted was smooth.. it didn't hurt at all, but there was indeed some pressure! I was sore for about 3 days, my periods stayed the same, and everything was normal.. the only thing I would point on though was I kept having a strong cramp in my tail bone and sex was quite uncomfortable! Other then that this birth control gave me no other problems."


"I got the skyla put in January 19th. It is currently March 6th. The insertion was bad for me. I felt extremely moody because it was a lot of pain for me. My cramps have gone one notch down from when I got it. The bleeding and cramps have continued almost daily since I've gotten it done... I'm starting to get really concerned because the pain is affecting my mood... Its hard to be around people. The bleeding isn't really like... A period I guess? The more active the more I can feel it come out. But on a normal lazy day I can feel the blood leak out like once or twice. Some days I don't bleed at all. But more often than not I have bled and cramped since it got put in.... I'm starting to consider it being removed.."


"I am at the end of the road. I am so depressed about this entire situation. I was on the shot at one point of time. It actually gets the job done, prevents pregnancy and stopped my period, however, the weight gain is real, mood swings, and I don't need anymore of those anyway. My bones popped every time I moved and I managed to gain 15 lbs, most of the weight went to my stomach and thats terrible considering I am only 5'2 and my normal weight is no more than 127 lbs. I LOOKED PREGNANT. I am getting very emotional about this entire situation because my periods are the worst, heavy bleeding, cramps are just unbelievable, so painful and lately they have been off track, but they still come EVERY month. I am stuck don't know what to do."


"I have a very high stress job. My anxiety got to the point of me hating my job and ending up crying in the bathroom at work most days. I am now on 1mg a day and this is a miracle for my anxiety. No panic attacks and no anxiety at work. I can now function normally at work."


"I have been taking Adipex for about 5-6 years. All I can say is that some of you will feel bad or very bad after taking it but most important is to take vitamins and minerals along with Adipex. I had back pain, heart racing then even I felt like my heart stopped for 2 seconds, scary but I started to listen to my body. I drank lots of water, ate loads of spinach and leafy greens and vitamins, vitamins all the time. It is also strongly advisable not to eat any meat or heavy meals. Please remember that despite the fact that you got loads of energy, uyor bowels are sleeping, you can hardly feel any movement in your stomach. Phentermine is blocking the "hunger centre" in your brain. I hope it helps. I have reduced all side effects I've had."


"This helped my grandma a lot. "


"A year in on Complera and feeling extreme fatigue and 3 times a day I become dizzy, that I have to sit and wait for the dizziness to go away. I express this to my doctor and he assured me it was the medicine. Now I am experiencing tingling, numbness in my hand's and feet. My balance is unbalanced. Not to scare anyone. I have been positive for 2 decades and started treatment a year ago. I hear a lot of news about doctor's saying it may be low B12 vitamin. However, I know for sure what is the cause, the Complera. I never felt these effect's before in my life till now!"


"I was prescribed this medicine after having one of my lower large molars pulled.  I ended up with a dry socket and in horrible pain.  This is a great pain reliever without the side effects like the others.  I will use it again if needed."


"Overall no major issues with Ocella and I've been on it for over two years. I started taking it due to terrible heavy periods that caused nausea and migraines. My periods are much lighter now and my face rarely breaks out. I still get migraines and cramps, but not as bad as before. I've also avoided  pregnancy and I never had issues with mood swings."


"During unprotected sexual intercourse he fully  ejaculated inside of me (I guess on accident, I'm not even sure.) But I did not want a kid at all so he offered to get me the pill so about 43 hours later I took aftera which I was kind of worried because it was the off brand but I took it anyway and about a week later I have bleeding for 4 days (not my period) and ever since then I had very bad symptoms including cramps, back pains, headaches and much more I always felt tired and was very moody but needless to say about 13 days late I ended up getting my period! This pill worked for me but I am pretty sure it has a lot to do with the fact that all this happened right when my last period ended so I was for sure not ovulating. But don't worry!"


"I am a 67 year old female and I have suffered from fibromyalgia for approximately 35 years.  With that being said I have also suffered from depression over the years and have taken Prozac and Zoloft with no effect. For the past 3 months I have been suffering from anxiety and depression and have been extremely nauseated and have lost 16 pounds.  I was on venlafaxine for 2-1/2 weeks with no results and have now been on Pristiq for 9 days and instantly felt 100% better.  I have my appetite back and have much more energy.  I actually feel like living again.  I hope my health continues to be better on the medication."


"Warning: it does not necessarily take 6-12 hours for this medication to work. Less than an hour after taking 2 of the dulcolax pink pills, the effects began. I have been in the bathroom every 10-20min for the past 4 hours. I recommend taking this medication when you have zero plans or zero intention of getting any sleep.

On the plus side, tomorrow might be a really great day to wear those jeans that are just a little bit too tight, surely I've lost a couple pounds between these incredibly frequent bathroom trips."


"Okay let me get started. Every social worker, psychologist, and mental health doctor shouldn't prescribe this drug to anyone. It is harmful in so many ways. I took it for 1-2 years because they said: I had said that  I had bad schizophrenia. I did not have bad anything except a drug issue- which they already  knew  as they had tested my urine, but they  didn't take that into consideration. If you take this drug you will sleep away your life. You will lose you train of thought every 5 sentences. You will probably 75% chance to lose your job in a fast pace environment.
When you take this drug you will lose muscles, goals, and cause you too get depressed. "


""I've had my Paragard for 5 months.I experienced spotting the following 2 days. So far I haven't had any major problems. My periods are heavier on days 2 & 3. I don't feel the Paragard at all, not even during sex. I am bipolar so I needed a none hormonal birth control. Hormones decrease the effectiveness of my medication.""


"First time using this prep. I don't care for the split dose. As far as taste, it's medicine. I got it down. It took a few hours for the first dose to work. I took it at 6pm as directed and got to bed at midnight. I had to get up once to go at around 1:30am. I woke up at 7:30am with a wicked headache! I took the second dose at 9am and it worked right away. As far as the water goes that most don't like, I didn't have a problem with. I drink water all day."


"I just got Skyla inserted this morning. I wanted to write this review for anyone who is nervous about the procedure or feels discouraged from all the negative reviews out there about IUDs. I went in expecting the worst pain of my entire life and it turned out not to even make my top 5 most painful experiences. It was painful, but it was not unbearably so, and it was over so quickly. About a minute of being uncomfortable (that included the speculum and the positioning of the cervix) and six seconds of more intense pain (during the sounding and the actual insertion). The pain was like a very bad menstrual cramp. I felt nauseous and faint afterwards, but not too bad. I have had some light bleeding, but barely any cramping whatsoever."


"Excellent for post-surgical spasm."


"Originally I had Nexplanon(however it's spelled), then Mirena, before switching to Skyla. Since I made the switch my cycles are about the same length of days its always been, maybe a day or two longer, but mostly spotting. I would like for it to stop my cycle all together. Although, I will say it's working a lot better than the other two. Mirena cause me to have spotting for about 2-3 weeks, same with Nexplanon...so I made the switch to Skyla. I really didn't have any pain when it was inserted. My cramps are very light, nothing to take pain medication for, then again, I've had two 9lbs babies lol...all in all I would say find what works best for your body. I'm happy that the Skyla is working thus far."


"I was drinking 5 a day.  I was put on this and welbutrin and am feeling great."


"I took this medicine as a 17 year old teen boy. Minocycline cleared my face completely of any acne. It also removed the dark spots!"


Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease

"For the past 2 years I have had itching on my head. Can be any area of scalp. None on face. I take 50 mg of antihistimine every day, just to keep it mild.  But it doesn't stop it. No redness, no dry scalp."


"This is a good long term drug for the management of chronic pain but its effectiveness fades over time and you have to increase the dose in order to maintain the same effectiveness. "


"I started taking Prozac for SAD, seasonal affective disorder, and it worked really well for that. Well a few years ago my hubby left and I tried to increase to 40 mg but the higher dose did not work well with me, so went back to the 20mg until about 3 months . Thought I was ready to wean off, first time I did not wean right and felt awful. Next time I weaned very slowly, which was much better, Unfortunately I began to have signs  of depression again. Called my MD to get a different one even though, Prozac had worked well before. He recommended Zoloft but after reading the awful side effects from reviewers, I change my mind and have restarted Prozac. The only side effect I get with Prozac is decreased sex drive, 20 mg works for me!"


"I absolutely love Ortho Evra. I'd never used a hormonal birth control before, and being super flighty I knew I couldn't be trusted to take the pill. I originally started off with the ring which resulted in non-stop crying, non-stop cramping and constant breakthrough bleeding. Even though the patch and the ring use the same exact hormones in extremely similar dosages, I decided to give the patch a shot. Instantly, I felt worlds better. My period was regular, which was the first time I'd ever had a regular period in my entire life. They're not lighter by any means, but I'll take five days of heavy bleeding over a month of it! Only problem? The patch is prone to coming off if your skin gets very warm and clothing rubs on it, unfortunately!"


"Since having Skyla inserted, I have lost 15 lbs and my periods have gotten lighter. My doctor told me that my periods will likely eventually stop all together. I was on the pill (Ortho Trycyclen Lo) prior to Skyla.

The insertion was slightly painful (think bad period cramps) and I had some cramping for about 24 hours after insertion. I do get cramps during my period now that I didn't get while on the pill, but taking ibuprofen usually takes care of them.

My insurance covered the IUD and the insertion. I had an ultrasound done one month after insertion to make sure Skyla was still in place, and it was. My insurance covered the ultrasound, but I did have to pay $84 out of pocket for the deductible."


"I would say it works pretty good if you catch them in the beginning,if not it could take longer to heal. I have had cold sores for at least 20 years and the best stuff I ever used for them was a product called licrogel in a little white jar which was made from scientific botanicals which I just found out today is out of business. I think the good ole FDA had something to do with it because it was a natural homeopathic product. It soothed instantly and healed fast. It used to come in a 1/2 ounce jar for about 10 bucks but in recent years it was a full ounce jar for like 20-25 dollars...but you could get several outbreaks out of the one ounce jar."


"I got this inserted this past January (2017) and overall I love it. The insertion was very painful despite taking 800MG of iBProfin like my OBGYN said but the procedure was only a couple of minutes. I had some residual pain for the rest of the night but nothing a little more ibuprofen and a heating pad didn't fix. I woke up feeling fine. No other pain. My sex drive returned (had issues with taking estrogen with drive) in just two weeks and my periods have gotten shorter and lighter each month and currently I am only spotting. I have had no other issues with it so far but maybe next time I'll ask for a prescription strength pain med for the procedure."


"I have been taking Paxil 20mg for about 4 months now. I suffered with anxiety which caused lightheadedness and shortness of breath for two years before I decided to try medication.  When I first started, I had more anxiety than ever and some depression which I never had before taking this medication. It took about six weeks to feel the effects and it works. To those out there struggling with this medication just give it the 6-8 weeks to work before giving up. Also, try relaxing things like baths and reading and even exercise.  I finally feel like myself again. I have some rare moments of anxiety but nothing at all like I had before seeking help. This is a good medication."


"At 16 I went on the pill, I was on the ortho tricyclin for about 3 years with no problem aside from small weight gain... suddenly I had gotten my period for 2 months straight! So my doc changed me to Sprintec and immediately I was getting headaches and yeast infections continuously! So now I'm on Tri-Linyah and its horrible! My mood swings are out of the world! I lost my sex drive completely! I went from wanting sex with my man of a year all the time to never! The amount of discharge has completely increased its horrible."


"This is day 4 for me and I have to say I get full so fast and I have no cravings. My first day I felt a little nausea and very tired. Other then that so far so good!"


"Today was day 4 on jolivette and I was rendered completely useless. I woke up with paralyzing fear and had a headache will hallucinations all day long. I also felt nauseated and very cold. Jolivette made me totally unable to take care of my 2 month old and 15 month old!"


"Using for one week now with the starter pack. It's already working and I am satisfied. I intend to continue with this treatment."


"After 5 yrs Gilenya is no longer working for me"


"I've dealt with severe irritable bowel syndrome problems since about 14, and the older I got, the worse it got. Nothing really helped until Bentyl. The only medicine that has ever helped me this far. It works within half an hour. The one downside is I can only take it outside of work because I feel "high" within ten minutes, every time."


"The Guaifenesin protocol has helped me beyond all belief. Before I found Guaifenesin, I was mentally incapacitated and was ridden with pain. I experienced a neck injury by lifting my handicapped mother who has a debilitating disease. Seconds after the injury, all of my Fibromyalgia symptoms surfaced. After finding a support group, I started on Guaifenesin, the miracle drug, 6 months after my injury. Without this drug, I would not be able to live a "normal" life. I immediately started on the road to recovery.  It was a slow process but gradually improved my symptoms. Now, 16 years later, I can honestly say that Guaifenesin has given me my life back."


"Works well with chronic back pain. Had L5-S1 fusion and now in diagnosis to rule out L3-L4 rostral disease. Lowers pain from 7/10 to 3/10. Doesn't work as well as Percocet but at least I don't hallucinate on it. I also don't like the "high" that Percocet produces and that effect is much less prevalent on Norco, thankfully."


"I have had terrible acne come up on my back, as well as weight gain. Probably close to 30 pounds since getting this in December of 2014. No period since, and I am always hungry. I originally got it for period pains and I have had no cramping since."


"Half hour after the first dose, taken on an empty stomach first thing on waking I had to RUN to the loo and had an explosive BM. After this it failed to work again ( as was my experience with Epsom salts, very similar) .
I did  however get very bad bloating gurgling sloshy sounding belly, felt tired and nauseous amd thirsty needing 4 glasses of water at night. Bloating was far worse than my usual ibs symptoms , and no further bm after 6 days on the drug. Just felt toxic and my face was puffy....so I discontinued its use. Back to low FODMAP diet and enemas when necessary, which is often the case. I was so hopeful after first dose, but think severe bloating affects the nerves and hinders reflex of evacuation in my case. "


"I am 21 years old and I started taking my first birth control pill ever (Minastrin) in late January 2015. The first month I took this pill I was extremely emotional. It's now just over 6 months later and I have had stomach cramps/pain as well as bleeding of all sorts of colors for the entire month. My boyfriend and I were so convinced I was pregnant because of all the symptoms and side effects associated with this pill. I never have a cramp a day in my life until I started this pill and now along with the cramps comes bleeding and horrible stomach pain. Anything that causes such differences in your daily life and this much stress is not worth it. I am starting a new pill tomorrow thankfully"


"Best for chronic back pain !"


"I have had lifelong issues with insomnia. My doctor recommended Melatonin 1-3 mg, because apparently less in this case is better. I have used sleep meds for a long time, but they don't always work great. I added this and I started being able to feel tired enough to go to sleep before my sleeping pills kicked in, which has allowed me better sleep. It is hard sometimes to lay down when you don't even feel tired, but this fixed all that."


"Loved the results from tetracycline.  Was on for 3 months and had the best skin I have ever had.  Cleared up my chest and face within a week.

Unfortunately within a month of being done the prescription I started to break out again.  Going back to the dermatologist tomorrow to ask to go back on."


"I have had a heinous cough for a week now... where i have uncontrollable fits of coughing where I can not stop. My chemist told me that 30mg of codeine usually stops a cough dead in its tracks. This is because it affects the part of the brain that makes you want to cough. It works great to stop coughing so I can rest, but please remember CODEINE DOES NOT TREAT THE CAUSE OF THE COUGH. He thinks I may have a chest infection so I will still need to go to the doctors on Monday and treat the infection as well."


"Have taken 3 shots so far with almost no change yet but they have said that it could take up to 3 months.  Am hoping that this medicine will give me some semblance of a life back for I am going to be a grandma in 2 months."


"Just finished 2 year treatment.  I was 53 years old when I started and in extremely good health other than these poor old bones!  Spine T-score -4.2 and left hip -3.5 two years ago.  New Dexa as of last week shows 20% improvement in the spine and 13% improvement in the hip.  It doesn't sound like much but when bones are this bad, anything is an improvement!  So for all the aches and pains (some pretty significant) that I have endured over the past two years, I feel it was worth it.  Definitely no doubt that this drug caused pain, weakness, some upper respiratory issues....but nothing that I couldn't deal with and nothing that caused me any "down time".  Maybe for someone else these side effects are too much.  But for me, worth it!!!"


"Very difficult to get down.  Could not finish all of second dose, left about 2 ounces.

It worked very quickly.  Just some hints that might help you.  Drink it very cold.

If hard to sip, just gulp it down.  Suck on hard candy in between each glass.  Use

moistened wipes to alleviate burning rectum, also used Preparation H.  Glad its all over and I hope everyone's results will be as good as mine.  Can wait 3 yrs for next one.  Hopefully, by then they will have something more palatable."


"I am 24 years old and I was addicted to opiates/heroin for 5 years after having my hip fractured. I have been on 32mg of suboxone for 8 months now. It has been a lifesaver. My life has totally turned around for the best. I feel like a normal human being now. I have been able to save money and I have even gone back to college and can focus now. I highly recommend Suboxone to detox."


"I did not get any blood pressure lowering effect from Micardis.  I took it for four weeks at 80mg per day.  I had no side effects, but put simply, the drug just did not work.  I went back to Toprol 50mg one daily.  Still searching for something better."


"I've been using epiduo every night for about to weeks. I haven't seen any results yet. I've tried many acne medications before and my acne still isn't going away. i hope this will start working soon."


"Made my acne 10 times worse !!!! But I've only been on it for 2 weeks and 2days. I saw that other people's acne got better within 3-4 months so I'll be patient. I take my pill at 10:15 every night. No nausea or throwing up. I think to Better to take your pill at night because I usually get sick from simply taking vitamins in the morning. No bleeding or spotting. No cramps. Slightly cranky but nothing my bf can't handle. Lol. & my breast haven't gotten larger but I have noticed the feel more heavy or full. No breast tenderness though."


"I have ADD not ADHD.. I'm not hyper.. But, my grades were so low I barley had a chance of passing my sophomore year, but I noticed I had such a hard time concentrating all these years and always just tried forcing myself to concentrate but it never really did work.. So we went and got tested and I had a lot of tests done on me and my brain, actually.. And the hypothalamus in my brain was not working correctly and was not sending many signals to my nervous system.. And that was the cause of ADD.. My doctor then prescribed my Vyvanse and the first day I was on it I was overly concentrated and very mixed up... My eyes felt huge and I felt like I was tripping to be honest.. But after I got used to it I got 80s and 90s in my classes and passed:)"


"I am a new user and just had my follow up appointment to make sure the Mirena was in place.

I am a 28 year old woman with no children. I wanted to try something different. My doctor and I discussed my options and I wasn't thrilled about remembering the pill everyday so I wanted to try Mirena next.

I went in for insertion on the 4th day of my period. I was surprised at how much pressure/cramping I felt during insertion. I actually moved back on the table. It was tolerable, but not pleasant at all.

After insertion I felt crampy for about an hour, and then mild cramping for the next 3 days, but now I feel great. No issues after sex, no bleeding or pain. It's hard to say I'd recommend as I'm too new, but it's definitely worth a try!"


"I am currently on my second pack of Seasonique. I was previously on Yaz which worked great for me but I wanted only 4 periods a year.  I am trying to look past the side effects because having only 4 periods a year, you are willing to take a sacrifice.  I have experienced severe breast tenderness during the first few months also my acne has gotten a little worse.  I have been breaking out with a rash since I've started the medication, and have had mood swings in the beginning. I haven't spotted at all, the periods are fine and manageable, but I feel Yaz had more positive effects like clearing my acne and not making my hormones go out of control, but 12 periods compared to 4? I am still on Seasonique and willing to let my body get adjusted."


"I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) since 1995. I had been on Paxil and Prozac in the earlier years, but stopped taking medication in 2000.  As years went on and as I got older (now 40) the GAD had gotten worse.  I was feeling more sad, crying spells, anxious, nervous, angry and an overall sense of unhappiness.  I started Lexapro 2 weeks ago after consulting with my doctor.  I started out on 5mg for 6 days and now up to 10mg.  I feel human again, however I do have trouble sleeping at night and I overall feel "numb."  I'm not yet sure if I like the fact I have no feelings of complete joy or love, but I do know I can express myself better of what is on my mind.  It has helped me significantly!"


"I'm going on 3 weeks and the side effects dizziness, nausea is to strong I don't think I'll be able to continue I feel so sick."


"I was in agony for weeks and barely able to walk.  Absolutely nothing stopped my sciatica pain, and I tried everything.  Within one hour of taking Zipsor the pain was gone.  I don't know what's in it, but it literally saved my life.  Thank you for your wonderful product."


"I had this thing put in a year ago, and I am getting it out asap.  I fell depressed all the time, dont want to socialize, or have sex.  it pokes my husband and I feel pain when I do certain sexual positions.  I have hair growing from all parts of my body.

dont get me wrong its great not to worry about getting pregnant for 5 years, but what the point of having it in and getting all these weird symptoms.  I have enough kids and I think getting my tubes tied.

Got luck to other users who dont have a problem, as for me its a goner!!!"


"I would give this birth control a 0 if I could. This thing has been hell. Please read: The first couple months were so great, no periods, no cramps, no nothing. Little did I know this would be a major problem in the future. I had it inserted April 2014 and taken out March 2015. I gained 40 pounds of water weight (edema). My body thought I was pregnant. I am slowly losing the weight and by that I mean it's been a year and I am down 10 pounds. It has been the most awful experience of my life. It also caused the worst panic attacks I've ever had and I lost myself for a few months. If you want to stay healthy and happy I do not recommend this stupid thing at all. Thankfully I have a very supportive boyfriend who was right by my side. Stay away!"


"It worked great but made my eyes very dilated so much so that I could not read. I started taking it after getting my C-diff from the antibiotics from a back stimulator being placed in my mid-back. Can't say enough good about it except the eye dilatation. "


"Dulls pain from Fibromyalgia including bad headache, lower back and lower neck pain.  Only problem is that BIG PHARMA is making it tough to get.  They want everyone hooked on NSAIDS and Acetaminophen.  The side effects form NSAIDS are far worse than Demerol and similar Opiods.   Using NSAIDS or Acetaminophen causes me serious Blood Pressure increases taking me well in to the danger zone.  Demerol not only has no side effects, at least for me, but actually lowers my BO. If forced to take NSAIDS, I would have to take BP meds which for most part I am allergic to. I take Demerol, as a last resort only when actually needed normally  < 5mth."


"Jublia is the only thing that worked for me. Over the past 7 years I had various treatments - laser therapy, topical anti fungals, tea tree oil, prescription and non-prescription meds (no oral meds) - none of it worked. I've been on jublia 1.5 years. One nail is cured, the other two are 90%. Prior to starting, the nails had detached from the nail bed and were nearly disintegrated. They have all grown back, grown strong and are only slightly cloudy. Luckily I had not side effects. The only downsides of this medication is that it's very slow and expensive.   I've spent nearly $1000 on this medication alone. But I spent way more on stuff that didn't work so it's worth the money."


"my blood sugar was 300 to 400+, last week I got a fast pass to the Hospital because it went up to 500+, my doctor put me now on Victoza and my blood sugar is around the 166, I know is the first week, but yeah, Nausea, Headache, the feeling of fever and pokes on the stomach are there.  What I did was instead of the 1.2 doses I'm supposed to be, I started from about .6, hopefully I'll be on 1.2 by next week, .

be ready for pregnant side effects,

3/30/2017"


"I took Loestrin and then Minastrin for years. I was off the pill for a couple of years and then wanted to get back on. My doctor prescribed Mibelas. I started taking the first pack on the first day of my period, and then my period lasted for 11 days. I stuck it out for 4 months. I've never had any spotting on or off the pill and with Mibelas I was spotting for at least a week every month in the middle of the pack, and then I'd still get my period. It killed my sex drive and gave me headaches. The only benefit is it gave me slightly clearer skin and kept me from getting pregnant. Worst birth control I've ever taken."


"I used accutane about 6 years ago when I was 19 for 6 months -I don't remember the dose- it cleared up my skin, but just a few short months later the acne was back.  My skin is nowhere where it was when I started using accutane, but it is pretty bad, so I am going to be doing a second treatment.  I am a little scard this time because I am actually researching it and they make you wait a month before you can get a prescription which is a lot of time to have to think about it. I just can't deal with the acne anymore. I also heard that the second treatment usually "cures" the problem. I am really hoping that this will be it."


"My nexplanon was inserted 4 months ago. I hate it! It prevents pregnancy however the rest is horrible. I have gained so much weigh plus my period last a month then a two week break then another month long period. I'm having mine taken out."


"I have been on this now for almost 2 months and I've been on and off my period like crazy I was on it so far for 29 days and off for only 15 it's terrible I'm going to get it changed because it's honestly awful ruining underwear just to prevent pregnancy only to be on my period over and over again"


"I will start off by saying this medicine is very effective and has worked for my light anxiety and depression, and  very excited about it! Like many others that have reviewed, Celexa did make me tired for the first few weeks and did have an impact on my sex drive. Overall I gladly accept the side effects for the calm/relaxed feeling that I have.  It has surprisingly made my meetings at work and public speaking more manageable. I am 34 years old and have tried self-medicating with plenty of sleep and exercise and healthy diet (and positive thinking). After years of 'dealing with it' I just asked the doctor for something mild enough to lift me up and he suggested Celexa; and I am so glad he did.  It's made a difference in my life!"


"I am now into my 15 day of using the efudix cream and I look scary I was told by my skin specialist to do my whole face and as directed have done so .I am a 51 year old woman that grew up on the coast and never thought any thing of it. After having a melanoma removed last year the ugliness ,pain and itchiness of this treatment is far better than a alternative outcome .Like others googled pictures and was horrified but remember the out come will be beautiful I would do it again in a heart beat."


"I had a rhinoplasty with turbinate reduction this past Friday and my doctor used Exparel on me.  When I woke up I had no pain or discomfort and it wasn't until Monday (just about 72 hours after surgery) that I started to feel a headache and some pressure.

I honestly couldn't believe the results.  To not have any pain after a rhinoplasty was so surprising to me, and now I am just dealing with swelling/bruising that is regular.

I did supplement Exparel with Percocet, so I'm sure the two together were helpful, but I wouldn't go through any other procedure like this without it."


"I've been on Androgel for 6 weeks now and have experienced a remarkable turn around in my energy, stamina, body strength, muscle definition, clear mindedness, and mega-intensified libido.  Now, I can't see myself getting along without it and don't plan to.  Now I know what it feels like to get my life back again and would consider this medicine nothing less than a miracle."


"I have 9 herniated discs (4 in my neck and 5 in lower back). Took Vicodin 10/660 for 2 years then Norco 10/325 for 1 year. 6 to 8 a day finally got the Ms Contin with my Norco and life is way better - can play with my daughter now."


"I've been on many medications through the years, and this is the first one I've been on a medication that didn't make me drowsy, and had side effects I could tolerate. Having Major Depressive Disorder, PTSD, and Anxiety, but also having issues with psych medication side effects; I've been quite happy with this medication.

It takes the edge off my negative moods, and at times renders me ambivalent-- which is better than before considering my PTSD anxiety was driving me to suicidal inclinations. However, if you aren't dealing with severe depression and anxiety, I'd suggest something less intense. Also, my medicaid covered this medication, but many insurance companies wont, and the original price is naught to scoff at."


"Hey everyone on mirtazapine!  I've been on cymbalta, Effexor , trintellix and Prozac .  Prozac was good but remeron/mirtazapine works better for anxiety by far!  I started suffering from anxiety when I was 12 and remeron/ mirtazapine has given me "wings to fly"  I can drive relaxed and I don't ruminate over things and make myself sick with worry so in turn my depression eases up because I'm not consumed with dread.  The only downside is I feel hungry ALL the time but I use willpower . For snacking,  I cut up celery and carrots and drink cold green tea instead of eating anything and everything because if you're not watchful , I guarantee you'll put on a lot of weight.  I basically had to get use to being hungry.  All the best"


"I have been using epiduo for almost a week now and it has been burning a little bit, so i cut back on how much i put on my face and it feels much better. I did not have alot of acne at all before using it but only a few on my cheeks and those are all gone now after a few days of use. The few bumps on ny forehead are still there but im positive the epiduo is fighting to get rid of it. I will give it a couple of weeks :). (avoid using in eye area, and area right AROUND nose... those are sensitive areas that can easily turn dry)"


"Have been using Fioricet when required for 4 years. I always go too long before taking it for tension headaches. Usually one pill does wonders and I can get on with my day. Will continue to use it as needed."


"I was on the depo shot for 6 months so 2 injections and my experience was over all good it was very effective in preventing pregnancy i had unprotected sex and did not get pregnant. However while on the depo shot over 6 months i gained 45 pounds! I went from being 120lbs to 165lbs from october to april it was crazy it worked very very well and was extremely easy to get and the injection mildly hurt but the weight gain is the reason i stopped getting it."
