"I have had the IUD in since 2009,  it caused cramps for about 3 days, spotting then was normal. If works by causing your cervix to swell some and copper is a natural birthcontrol.

I confirmed with my doctor that the paraguard does not contain nickel before I had it placed.
Also you are warned before it's placement that many experience heavy bleeding and more cramps. In fact my cramps have lessened in the past few years.

If your normal cramps keep you in bed, or cause you to buckle avoid IUDs always be open and honest with your doctors and older woman and woman who have had children tend to respond better."


"5 years I took Junel. For the first year it was fine. Lighter periods and less cramps. Year 2 I started suffering from increased anxiety and what everyone else decided was depression even though I insisted it was fatigue. I was as tired as if I had the flu all the time and the week before my period I could not handle a thing. So I got therapy and started eating healthy to treat what my doctors insisted was not symptoms of the pills. I worked out, ate healthy consistently but the weight kept coming on at 5 to 10 lbs a year. My sex drive completely disappeared which doctors will blame on the depression. I finally couldn't handle it and went off two weeks ago. I feel like crying at how much better I feel. It's like I woke up from a coma."


"Just finishing 2 months on Egrifta. 1st month not remarkable but at the 6 week mark I'm noticing a change. It seems as if the visceral fat has reduced and moving to sub-q fat. I've maintained the same diet, medication and work out schedule. Just about 7 lbs weight loss but not sure it's the egrifta. Will check in at the 3 month mark."


"I had the mirena put in 3 years ago. The insertion was extremely painful (I haven't had kids) and I had bad cramps for 2-3 days after. After getting over that first hump, I didn't get my period again for 3 years which was awesome! However, it did cause me to develop cystic acne which I didn't have before so consider this possibility before having it put in. If you aren't acne-prone it's an awesome form of bc!"


"Alert: Suboxone is incredibly effective at helping with opiate detox in the short term. However, it is very easy to become dependent on the Suboxone. Try and only use Suboxone for 4-6 days and deal with the remaining withdrawals. "


"I was prescribed Xanax in 1993 when I started college at age 35. Have Panic Disorder, anxiety disorder and PTSD. Dosage has always been .5-1 mg daily. I'm completely a different person with it!! No more stuttering, no more panic attacks and running out if class to hide.

I've never had to increase the dose since 1993. I could never gave gotten through 16 years of college without it!!"


"Started phentermine 15mg 3 weeks ago, female weighing in at 14 stone 3 only 5ft 2! First week lost 7lbs, second week lost 3lbs, 3rd week lost 2lbs so far so good. DEFINITELY think I need a higher dosage now though."


"I started this medication. Three seperate times, stopping only a couple days in because of the severe headaches I got. It was keeping me from being able to lead my day.  I am trying again, starting with a quarter of the pill and ibuprofin in the morning. I can see how this helps people though. I'm not hungry and, aside from my headache, I am in a good mood
 If I can get past the headaches (which interestingly make me crave something sweet and cold, like ice cream) then I think this will be good.  I exercise, high intensity, four days a week, and watch my sugar and carb intake as well. Lost 20 lbs last year but had to keep myself accountable. The medication helps but you have to take charge of it."


"Cleared everything up but felt like I was being stung by bees for almost 2 hours!!!! But worth it!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Didn't taste great but it worked well with no cramping. Only problem was getting up at 1 AM for the second dose. Plus I was a bit dehydrated even though I drank the recommended water afterwards."


"Long history of lack of physical stamina in spite of as much exercise as I could manage.

Three doses of Anoro and it all changed. 6 months now and no problem with the medicine. Jost hope it continues."


"I got epiduo the summer of 7th grade bc my acne was horrible and nothing seemed to clear it up. I went to the dermatologist and he gave me epiduo and a facial wash. by the time summer was over, I had very clear skin. although it took a while to kick in, as long as you are consistent with it every night you will see results. I also had to use a night cream bc it made my face dry. but I just used an over the counter one and it worked just fine."


"ok so on day 3 I went out for dinner last night for my child's birthday I had the worse attack in my life pain chest pain left side arm was tingling back was hurting I was dizzy thought I was going to pass out awful experience it took about 4 hours for the chest pain to go. I thought I was having a heart attack at one point but stuck it out I haven't eaten since yesterday morning no appitie someone please tell me this gets better???? Anyone else in the same boat as me? I'm a 26 year old woman had this for anxiety and panic attacks"


"Hi my name's Matt and I would like to share with you my experience of Klonopin 6 years ago I went through what I think was a dramatic life-changing event for me me and my wife work separating for good and everything started falling apart I started to lose weight get out of breath fast then one day I started to have bad thoughts thoughts to hurt myself others even my own family I spent many sleepless nights on the couch for two months I stayed there wanting to die waiting to die then finally one day I got up and went to see a psychiatrist I explained to him he put me on Klonopin after a few yrs I noticed I started having short term memory loss I am currently weaning myself off but it's very hard anyone else experience this"


"After 1 month of using Propecia, I noticed a decrease in the loss of hair after a shower. Now in my 4th month of use, there is a notable difference in the thickness of my hair, and some growth noted!"


"Amazing stuff. I always had a problem with acne and my skin. No matte what I did the acne never went away. 3 days after using the Tactupump my face is as clear as any super model.  Every zit is gone and my pores are non-existent. If you haven't tried this stuff yet what are you waiting for? It is pricey but worth every penny!"


"I've been taking this drug since the end of Sept 2014. On 100mg per day, taken 25mg 4 times a day as I find them so strong. They've been working really well up until about a month ago, but the migraines have returned, so wondering whether I need to increase the dose or to request to try botox - anyone tried this for migraine treatment? Side effects-these have been tough and ongoing. Pins and needles in hands&feet, severe nausea, dizziness, memory loss, lack of concentration, reduced heart rate (normal 70 bpm to 48 - I'm a 35 year old female), find it hard to sleep. Have lost 2.5 stone so far, have real trouble eating as feel so sick-dietician scored me with a high risk of malnutrition. Concerned about the damage this drug is doing."


"I would NOT have a life without it! I've tried everything. Nothing works for me but this! I've been on it 11 years. I started out with pen injections, then nose spray...pill suits me best! I don't wish these on anyone! Migraines are horrible."


"I developed anxiety attacks, as many do after a Total Thyroidectomy.  I suffered for a year with inadequate thyroid treatment and all the awful things that come with it. Then developed panic/anxiety attacks.  They would last 6 or 7 hours at a time.  I would barely feel better and then I got another. Ativan helped in 15 minutes. I've been taking it for two months and it has given me back the small part left of my post-thyroid life. Thanks to my thyroidectomy, I will never be well again.  But at least I don't have panic attacks."


"My best friend had an anaphlactoid reaction to this medication  and died within 7 days.  Doctors sent her home from the ER.  She had a heart attack within the following 17 hours."


"I was diagnosed with chlamydia and was given two 500mg pills to take at the clinic around 10am. They said it'll make me nauseous. I was fine for two hours until I got home around 12pm and started having sharp stabbing stomach pains worst pain I've ever felt ended up going to the bathroom and throwing up. Then right after that had to flush and ended up having watery diarrhea stayed in the bathroom an hour doubled over from the stomach pains while sitting on the toilet still. Pain let up an I took a nap for 2 hours and went to school got there around 3:50  ended up going home 15 minutes later because the stomach pain came back and I was literally crying sitting on the toilet in the college locker room. Went home been in bed ever since its 12am"


"Please don't be afraid to try this medication. I suffer from overthinking and when I read these reviews, I was afraid of the side effects.

I moved into an apartment that I did not know was blowing dust out of the air vents and was sick over a long period of time, developing bouts of wheezing. My lung function was at 70% and finally went to the doctor, who prescribed Symbicort. I put off taking this longer than I should have.

I used the 160/4.5 at 2 puffs a day for about a week. I upped it to 4 puffs a day for another week. I closed it out with 2 puffs a day for a few more days.

The wheezing and chest tightness are gone. I sleep better. I can get a full breath. I feel like me again. This has saved my life and I had ZERO side effects."


"This medicine gave me quick relief from the urinary tract infection, however I am vomiting and have diarrhea. The pharmacist label said to take on an empty stomach but when I called them, they said I can eat just no dairy.  Hopefully with something in my stomach the side effects will decrease."


"I've never done anything like this but I decided to share my story. I was on Implanon birth control for two and a half years. I got it put in three weeks after my daughter was born. I weighed 155 at the time. I tried everything to lose weight I ate healthy and worked out daily from doing zumba work out videos and running two miles a day. I just couldn't lose weight. My periods were awful I would be on mine for at least 14 days out of the month every month. I also had really bad headaches at least twice a month and the mood swings were horrible I just wasn't myself. So I finally got the implant taken out a week ago today and I feel so much better I have lost ten pounds without working out or changing what I eat."


"I have only been taking this for a few months, but notice a big difference, I suffered really bad pain during intercourse and this has improved the situation, I also think it has levelled out my menopausal moods.  I will be staying on it.  I am fortunate to live in Scotland where I do not pay for this medication directly, prescriptions are free."


"This medicine is great. No side effects. Calms me down. Helps with the racing thoughts at night and to relax and get to sleep. I also had panic attacks, now with Xanax they are gone. I only take 0.5mg at night and as needed when nervous or with social anxiety if I go out. It works wonders. It is sad that many doctors do not want to prescribe it because of stigma of abuse and it really would help many people with anxiety disorders."


"I will have been on Sprintec for 2 weeks tomorrow.
I'm 15, and I've been in a relationship for some time. Things were going amazing, and then I started getting very moody, angry, and would cry a LOT (still am).
We are currently on a break and I do not think this medicine helped anything emotionally for me. I have a history of depression and suicidal thoughts, but had been totally fine for a little over 8 months. Now, I had some thoughts today,have been feeling down for at least 2 weeks,  and I'm supposed to be seeing my s/o to talk about all of this. I don't know if anyone is able to respond to these reviews, but should I ditch the birth control for a day and see what happens to my mood? Or call my doctor? If you can reply, please do.Thanks"


"Great for hot flashes; however, experience lower abdominal pain."


"The taste of the mochacinno smoothie was very tolerable. Tasted like watered down chocolate milk but with enough flavor. I was to drink 2 450ml bottles. One before bed and one 45 mins before my scheduled ct scan. First dose went down very smoothly but caused alot of gas. Second dose was fine until about half way through where it just wasnt appetizing anymore. Second dose caused some loose stool about 30 minutes after and then evolved into pretty significant diarrhea. Definitely take the whole day off after your scan. Overall not as bad as i though it would be. Definitely drink lots of water for the following 24 hours after your scan."


"Me and my gf met on dec 29, 2015. I thought that I pulled out at right time but am not sure.  I got too worried and she took planB after 7 hours.  After two days there was heavy bleeding to her with some cramps.  Then she fell sick for one week with cold, fever, stomach ache, dizziness and head ache.  The symptoms are severe that I was too worried and thought of taking doctor appointment.  But after one and half week she became normal but suddenly breast tenderness started, there was enlargement in breasts and soreness troubled her a lot which lasted for two days. Finally, today she got her period which is four days earlier to her regular cycle. It worked :) The symptoms are common please don't stress yourself a lot."


"Been on Adipex for one week and lost 7lbs. I was skeptical at first but after exercising and dieting with no results, what did I have to lose. Doctor suggested we try it for 30 days. I'm glad I did.  Side effects at least for me include dry mouth; constipation and some sleeplessness. I feel that exercise is a daily must.  After I exercise, I feel normal; the only difference is that I'm not hungry nor am I interested on the donut by desk or cake down the hall!  Another point, you will not be hungry nor interested in food; however you must remain mindful that your body needs fuel to to keep burning; so I find myself getting satisfaction from just half of a Kind bar (before I could eat 3 at once)."


"First off, my pain tolerance is high. I am known for being a trooper, but not this. I must be allergic. This is way worse than my YI! I'm burning and shaking from the severe amount of pain that I am in. It itched worse now than before. I've been dealing for 30minutes"


"I've been taking Oratane (off-brand Accutane) for nearly 6 months now. My dosage was 20mg during the first month, and then 40mg for the remainder of my cycle. I'm a 24 year old male (I was 23 when I began taking the drug) with mild (but irritating) facial acne and moderate acne on my upper back. I found that my acne cleared up towards my second month of treatment. The only side effects I've encountered are dryness - dry lips being the main one, but easily remedied with chap stick. My skin (particularly on my face) and eyes also occasionally get dry, these can be tackled with moisturizer and eye drops. Aside from that, everything has been smooth sailing.  I recommend accutane to anyone with severe acne, or stubborn acne that won't go away."


"I've been on 10mg fluoxetine for just over one week - I did take it for a few days a little while ago, it made my IBS worse, so I stopped. My doctor persuaded me to give it another go. I know it's early days, but so far it's all bad! Before I was  tired, unmotivated, no concentration, barely able to wash or do the simplest things. Now - I'm like  the walking dead! Even more tired, even less motivation,  brain fog - you name it. And possibly more  depressed! I also had terrible joint pains - I have arthritis anyway! The joint pains seem to be lessening, the others aren't- so far!  I just hope it's a case of getting worse before it gets better, cos atm it's almost unbearable!"


"Received Kenalog injection in right thumb, for Osteoarthritis. I had side effects with Dr saying these were NOT related to the Kenalog Injection.
Dizziness, bloody nose, confusion, Migraines.
Dr. knew from my chart that I had Diabetes- Thyroid, AND PREVIOUS bad reaction with 'Prednsone'
Dr. told me before injection on the same day, "I've never heard of anyone being allergic to "Corticosteroids" I agreed then to Injection & suffered since 12/16/2015 with the adverse effects.  Grrrr! I'm female-77 years."


"I have just come to this realization today and I can't believe I didn't notice it sooner....

After switching from a discontinued pill to Gildess my pharmacy has rotated generics from Gildess to Junel to Blisovi Fe 1/20, and so forth. Mainly those three. Over the past two years I have also struggled with anxiety. I have just realized that my crippling panic attacks and 95% of my anxiety issues occur when I am taking Blisovi fe 1/20. I CANNOT WAIT TO TALK TO MY DOCTOR AND GET AWAY FROM THESE PILLS."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"Positive"


"No acne just blemishes after shower and leave pimples. Only get red cheeks and raised pimple when hot.

Doctor gave me this to try. Applied first lot tonight. See how it goes ...."


"I find Urso has helped me a lot. I do have loose bowels with it sometimes. I also found out if I skip a dose and take two Urso's at once, that's when I have a bowel movement problems. I quit doing that. I do know it's prolonging my life, for this I am thankful."


"Cardizem started taking yesterday 2-10-2016 making shakes like I have Parkinson's which I don't have. Did not sleep all night at all.  Feel bad  face flushed to point it was red. Taken 2 doses so far and may not take any more until I talk to heart Dr. That prescribe it. Check blood press it had gone up instead  of down.it was 196over70."


"started 2 weeks ago with this dexilant, ever since then my symtoms got worse, dizzy, stomach and lower back pain, hard to swallow food, passing gas and burping  a lot more.    Would not recommend this drug to my enemy. If I knew what this drug did for me that made it worse I would of not taken it. Worst drug on the market,  and they want $300.00for a month for this pill, NO WAY. Not me. No wonder why my insurance would not cover it.  Believe me if you are taking it and feel more sick then you did, STOP TAKING IT. With a few days when the drug gets out of your system you will feel better and you will not have to see dr or keep going to hospital and they find nothing wrong with you."


"This was the worst experience I had in my life. I had hallucinations and my b/p was 206/126. It was given IM in the hospital and then at again at the treatment facility. I wrote a letter in my room in case they found me dead.  I fought the nurse not to give me another one."


"Great for my son, the only thing that really helps."


"I've had a couple bladder infections. This is the first time I've taken Cipro. It did it's job and got rid of the infection and relieved my symptoms pretty quickly.  But the side effects made it so I couldn't wait to be done with the medicine. It made my knees ache, gave me terrible, terrible headaches and made me extremely tired. Also, it was quite agitating not being able to take my vitamins or with milk. I am grateful to have my bladder infection gone, but these side effects were not enjoyable."


"I took 600 MG of this medication for a mild to moderate knee sprain, and it made it tolerable to bear weight. It reduces inflammation, which is good for minor injuries. I would highly recommend this for short term use, as it's over the counter and not sedating. It works pretty fast, too."


"I have had Seasonal Affective Disorder for the past two years. I would feel depressed, anxious and even suicidal. However when I learned about this, I started taking them, and it works wonders! I am so happy now! Keep in mind that this may have side effects.... for me I have some trouble sleeping after it and your appetite decreases. For some people the appetite part is good because they need to lose weight but not for me. I am a bit worried because I am already a bit under weight and I don’t want to lose any more weight. But I guess I’ll see :)
Thank you St Johns Wort!!"


"MS since 2002- 58 year old with poor balance , weak right leg and foot drop, I use brace, rollator and wheelchair. Started Ampyra 6 days ago, the first 3 days or so I was mildly lightheaded and it seemed the neuropathy in my legs was increased, but I was also feeling sensations I haven't felt in long time! Day 4 I felt a surge of energy and was all over the house. Today day 6th  I was able to walk more than I have in years without crying of exaustion or my legs giving out, legs so much stronger! I am beyond exited that this is all happening so fast and very happy I got brave enough to try Ampyra. And yes around the 11th hour you know when medication is wearing off, so if you start Ampyra carry pills with you :). Good luck!"


"First - diagnosis is mild ADHD. 11 years old. 50mg. Our experience with my son and vyvanse. He was on this medication for approximately 9 months. For the first few weeks, he was sort of hyperfocused and had difficulty with transitioning from a task if he was fixated on it. He transitioned well to middle school and achieved great grades. However, he lost a lot of weight. About 15lbs. He had horrible insomnia. He slowly became very emotional and depressed in the afternoons and evenings. We decided to stop the medication. Within weeks he was back to himself and his doctor advised him to stay off the medication."


"Works great for me. I take one when an attack starts and they work in minutes."


"I've been taking Prozac for about 4 years. I took 10mg, then 20mg as of last year. It worked very well for a very long time, and I felt great for years, but I'm finally starting to feel a tolerance to it's effect, and it might be time to switch medications, but it's certainly been a good run. It helped me feel better, and lifted my depression."


"I have been on Methadone for almost a year now since coming off Oxycodone. It stopped working and the dose could not be raised without hurting my liver because of all the Tylenol in it. I love this medicine and how it is long acting so there are no waiting periods for the pain to subside. I have Chronic pain from Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. My doctor mentioned Methadone I was a bit miffed as it is usually for Heroin addicts. He said it could be taken long term with the least damage to my body which is good because there is no current cure for my illnesses. I don't like the constipation but other then that it does an excellent job and no more jitters and waiting."


"I had terrible symptoms of MVP that landed me in the hospital for 5 days. I started taking this medicine 25 mg a day and my symptoms are so much better. I used to have shortness of breath, palpitations, chest pain, and weakness but it's so much better now. I only occasionally have some palpitations but nothing like before. Metoprolol works great!"


"This has been the only eye drop ever to be calming/soothing and effective almost immediately.  The only downside is that it has been expensive with insurance at $30 and then $40.  "


"I was scared to take this because of the reviews but I experienced ZERO burning or itching from the medication. I had itching from the yeast infection but not excessive itching that was said in the reviews. Every body reacts to medicines differently so don't completely write off trying monistat just because of the bad reviews below. I didn't experience any of that and I felt relief on the second day and now is completely gone. I took it night and tried not to get up a lot until the morning. The ointment also somewhat helped."


"After chronic pain for 5 years (bursitis and fibromyalgia), I think I've found a medicine perfect for me. I take 50 mg three times a day; it has helped so much with the fibromyalgia fatigue/fog. I have more energy, feel less depressed, and actually wake up without horrible pain. In the past I have been on Oxycontin, MS-Contin, Hydrocodone, Fentanyl patches, and Dilaudid. Nucynta is helping more than all of the above and it's much different than a typical narcotic.
  I am pleased!"


"After my wellness checkup and blood analysis, I was told by my md to start taking Vit. D3-2000 daily.

I took it as recommended for 2 days and I noticed that I was experiencing dizziness, tiredness and really bad cramps in my hands, feet and legs.  I thought that I was dehydrated and drank more water.  The cramps kept getting worse and I also started having increased palpitations and more dizziness.  As the only change I had made in my daily regimen was taking the D3, I decided to stop taking it to see if it might be the cause.  Sure enough, these symptoms disappeared.  So, why are we being told to take this?  Several of my friends and family have been advised to do the same lately.  Is it a new "health" sham?"


"I am 56. I have partied a lot having grown up in LA and Hawaii. Lifestyle payback is high blood pressure. I ignored all drs advice because I was going to the gym everyday and surfing and trail running. But I started a new job and have Kaiser. The nurse took my blood pressure. Her eyes betrayed her calm...she took me aside and asked if I drank. Yes, a lot of red wine. She didn't even want me to go to lobby and wait and asked if I wanted to wait in doc's office. I guess my blood pressure freaked her out, like 180/100. Anyway he talked into 12.5 lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide and said take 1/2 tab a day. Unreal! In one day my blood pressure, I take it at home, was in the 117/75 range. Immediate gratification."


"Scheduled colonoscopy to rule out cause(s) of infectious colitis that made me very ill weeks ago. I just went back to work and was starting to feel better after nearly a month of being sick. Was able to drink down 3/4 solution of my first prep slowly, then my stomach started to rumble. I went into the bathroom and the second I sat down, I projectile vomited across the room. Several times. Ruined my new lace shower curtain. Called my Dr. who said to stop drinking the Suprep Bowel Prep (I was willing to try and continue) and to reschedule my procedure so a gentler prep could be prescribed. Very frustrating- I just wanted to get this over with. Now I have to take another day off and go through this again."


"This medicine calms my anxiety and helps me fall asleep. It also helps with my depression."


"I LOVE THIS. I have had my Implanon since March 2012 and it is great. There will be times that I go for about 2 or 3 months with no period and then get one for 2 weeks. But it doesn't bother me. I don't get cramps anymore and I wrestle with my kids and my boyfriend and I never notice the implant at all. No negatives to this! I hope that everyone learns the joy of this!"


"This was the first method of birth control I ever used. It was the BEST choice I ever made. When I first started using it, I had me period for two weeks, but that was really the ONLY downfall. My periods were on point, no cramps, no acne, no bloating, no lowered libido, no mood swings. Everything was perfect. I did gain weight, 8lbs to be exact, but I do not think it was related. Anyways, this is the only birth control that has worked for me, and I plan to go back on it. (I had to go off it because of insurance issues)."


"Accutane is the best medicine in the world. I get every side effect known to man and this medicine only gave me the common side effects. The only side effects I got were dry skin (which was a blessing because my skin was extremely oily), dry lips, and toward the last two months my white blood cell count got low. I would recommend this medicine to everyone. As long as you eat right and are somewhat active you should be fine on this medicine. Also, most say depression is a factor but I have a family history of depression and when I was 12-15 (I am currently 18) I suffered from extreme anxiety and I had no emotional issues with this medicine. It is life changing."


"I chose Skyla hoping that it would be a practical and mindless form of birth control considering my husband and I were moving to Thailand for a year and would be traveling around Asia unsure of what kind of other methods would be available. I just got it removed and had it in place for little over a year.  The first 6 months, I had horrible cramping, like I've never experienced before, and irregular unpredictable periods. My periods became more regular but still with uncomfortable cramping. I experienced no weight gain, as many women fear...and already had acne and skin problems prior. I had it removed ultimately for the discomfort and lack of control I felt in not being able to do something immediately if I felt unsafe or uncomfortable."


"I had years of weird problems, no one could ever find anything then in Feb 2017 I couldn't walk as my joints were so painful, they did tests but came back negative. But was so bad they went ahead and put me on doxy 200mg for 21 days in June and on day 18 things really started to turn around. My sense of taste and smell came back, I started to have energy again, my muscle tingling went away, the pain in my joints started to lessen and most of my other symptoms started to fade.  It took a few months and then they started to level off at about 75% of normal so I just started a 30 day, 200mg. The only side effect I have is rash in groin and underarms towards to end of the run which I hear taking probiotics will help so going to try that."


"great birth control device definitely protects from pregnancy! Considering the continuous  bleeding "

"I'm 22 and of course no one believes me that I'm in a lot of pain except my doctor. I went in and told him that I fell down the stairs and was in a car accident a month prior to the visit and the pain in my neck and mid back hasn't gone away. He took some xrays and told me I was fine but I had scoliosis and my spine was starting to become straight. I'm on Percocet now and it's the only way I get through the day."


"High anxiety-25mg helped within 45 minutes!"


"I suffer from PTSD and severe chronic depression. I have been on multiple medications, taking 10-12 pills a day. My doctor recommending celexa for depression as well as my anxiety, and guess what. I am now on 4 pills a day celexa for depression, klonopin for my anxiety attacks, ambien to help me sleep, and prazosin to keep my nightmares at bay. Celexa works for me amazingly, it has calmed me down some and I used to just burst out in tears at the simplest things because they reminded me of my past. Not anymore. Although I have it a 9 and not a 10 because the first couple weeks are rough. I was very VERY lethargic and sleepy and I was still having mood swings which got a little worse. I stuck with it and it changed me."


"I'm a young male 26 years old.  Was a casual smoker for 7 years. Started very young at 16. Became a pack a day smoker for 3  years.  So more than 10 years of smoking.  Other reviewers are spot on about insane irritation/itching when patch is first applied to skin. This lasts for the first 20 minutes.  Do not let this deter you , try not to think about it. I'm on the 21mg patch.  This is recommended for smokers who smoke at least a pack a day or more. I can honestly say you really have to be determined to stop smoking altogether.  Side note. Was a very heavy cannabis smoker as well, and remarkably the patch has also gotten rid of all cravings for cannabis as well. If you're serious about kicking this filthy habit this patch works wonders ."


"I have endometriosis on my bowel and severe IBS. A lifelong emetophobic, the crippling nausea/vomiting/diarrhea that accompany my endometriosis/IBS cause me great anxiety and keep me from living freely. I was first prescribed zofran after surgery on my bowel so I could take pain meds without vomiting. Then I was prescribed oral zofran/ondansentron to manage ongoing nausea. It helps TREMENDOUSLY. If very sick, I may take 8mg to stop the nausea entirely but 4mg usually does the job within 30 min. I also have a prescription for the 4mg Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODT) version that melt under your tongue. They work FAST. Within 10-15 min. This med is a lifesaver for me. Side effects of bad constipation & headaches are manageable for me."


"This was a phenomenal find! I could not function everyday tasks until beginning amitriptyline. I couldn't even try to upset myself, or feel worried while on amitriptyline. I went from constant unknown fear and breathing difficulty to floating on a cloud without a fear in the world.
First few weeks had some challenging side effects. Blackouts, memory loss, numbness in face, lathargic, more sleepy than usual, dry mouth and munchies. All those disappeared after a month or so.
Did try to get off it to see how my anxiety could manage on its own. Withdrawals were pretty miserable. Two weeks of headaches, nausea, irritability, and dizziness.
Did get back on it when anxiety came back full blown. Slowly increased up to 75mg.
Hope it works for you!"


"I took 850 amox. clavulane for 14 days twice a day. No side effects whatsoever, infection start fade away immediately, very slowly I'm feeling better each day, until I get to certain point where I'm not totally cured but almost, from that point to the end of the treatment there's no improvement . When  I stop the medication infection very rapidly come back again .... this is my second treatment. I don't know what else I can do"


"In my opinion this medicine has saved my life. It keeps me calm and relaxed. It has been my miracle drug. I never knew life could be this good again. I try not to remember the life I had before taking Xanax."


"My GP prescribed Clonidine 25mg twice a day, as I was having so many hot flushes, it was becoming impossible to live a normal life, I'm 51, and definitely peri-menopausal ! Since taking  clonidine my symptoms have improved 100% ! I might get the odd flush now & again, but nowhere near as bad as they were before, if these work, without me having to take HRT, I'm very happy."


"I'm not going into all the details about what is wrong with me but my pain is bad enough that I take morphine sulfate 100mg  three times a day, nucynta 100mg twice a day & soma 350mg 2XDay. Well what I'm wondering is has anybody ever had some hearing loss? I've also experience Moodiness, twitchy movements (occasionally) wondering if these are drug related problems?"


"With Zioptan my intra ocular pressure fell, in one month, from R15 L14, to R12, L11. My ophthalmologist is delighted. He says that, if this result holds, I will be his third patient to experience a dramatic drop. He says that some people -- with hopes that I am one -- seem predisposed by heredity to an excellent response to Zioptan. No side effects."


"I took prozac several years ago, and it worked a little bit for a while. Often, though, it made me feel really lethargic, sleepy, and extremely apathetic to most things. It sort of did it's job, but not well enough, as I have now switched to something that works better."


"I recently was on Prednisone for over a week because I could barely breathe (in spite of taking 500mg of Advair 2/day and Maxair several times a day). Towards the end of my steroids I was still breathing very poorly, but then I started taking Singulair and immediately my breathing became absolutely normal with not one hint of wheezing or breathing difficulty.

Also, my nasal allergies/sinuses have improved considerably since I started Singulair.

On the other hand, I have noticed pain in my ear (possible ear infection) and my mood appears to be a bit more aggressive than it was before taking the Singulair.

Overall, I would highly recommend it."


"I was diagnosed a few months ago (I'm 19) with ADD. The first--any only-- medicine I have tried thus far is Concerta (27 and 36mg). Not only has my ADD not gotten any better, but I feel I have anxiety, mood swings, restlessness, and insomnia. I've used it for several weeks, adjusted my dose, and minimized any external stress and it's not any better."


"800 mg helped with my pain. It takes about an hour to work then pain is manageable. I have minimal side effects, a little headachy and slightly tired. I can take this and get relief without feeling drugged."


"Been on 10mg trintellex for 9 days after weening off Zoloft 150mg over a month
Really feel much better on trintellex but I have itchy skin and hives. I got hives on one side of face the first day now they move around . Take hydroxizine which has helped some
Going to stop trintellex and start back on Zoloft to see if hives go away per Dr suggestion. Has anyone else gotten hives and do they go away over time. If I knew they would go away I would stick with it a little longer"


"Mood swings and depression. Suicidal thoughts... Not good. Does its job with regulating periods, but the side effects are terrible. Have been on it for 2 years and was just off of it for a month. Now I'm back to my normal self. Glad to know Im not going crazy, it's just the pill making me like that. Definitely going to switch."


"I am 18 and had my first child 18 months ago. I started Loestrin to prevent pregnancy. I am a week into my second pack. The first 2 weeks I had some nausea and I am still getting bloating and sore breasts but other than that it has been good. My periods were always light and the first period I had while using Loestrin 24 Fe was 3 days of pantyliner, light bleeding and very very mild cramping, which was reassuring but not annoying. I would recommend."


"I am a 42 years old woman who is 5'6 and 242 lbs.  I took Phentermine 37.5 two years ago and lost 30 lbs i(started off at 243 and ended at 213  and went back to 248 over the next 2 years).  At the time I was also on a strict eating plan and I was working out 4x a week. Well since then I had stopped working out because work and grad school was hectic.  Two weeks ago, I decided to change my eating habits, do a cleanse and detox and I have lost 6lbs.  Yesterday, I started my pills again and some cardio on the treadmill.  I WANT OUT OF THE 200s!!!  (even though the charts says a 5'6 woman should be 118-154 but I can not see myself that small)! I am so ready to take control of my health and my body!!"


"I have been diabetic for about 50 years. Forty of those years I used Regular and NPH insulin. I never had any problems at all. My A1c readings were in the mid 6's most of the time. A new doctor comes along and wants all her diabetics to conform to textbook examples. She decided my insulins were old fashioned and outdated. She changes me over to Tresiba. After a couple weeks my sugar would drop around 100 to 200 points from midnight to about 8 in the morning. I have to make sure my sugar is above 225 at midnight to not wake with a 40 or 50. I was 320 once and 8 hours later it was 84. This stuff is scary."


"I've had this for 7 months now. I got it 8 weeks after I had my baby. The pain getting it inserted was very minor compared to the natural no med labor I had 8 weeks prior. My cycles were longer in the beginning and now I'm down to three days and wearing panty liners, that's how light it is. This IUD varies from person to person. I would recommend it to see how it works for you. Plus my insurance paid for it fully."


"Kytril works well to stop vomiting; however my experience is that I still 'feel' like vomiting all the time while on it.  It also causes me terrible constipation; so I try not to take a lot of it.  Overall I think it is a good medication for what it is supposed to do, but not perfect.  Nothing really is I guess."


"They gave me this medication via IV in the ER for a very intense migraine and extreme nausea, I would never recommend this medication to anyone ever, the second it was pushed through, I started having an extreme panic attack, something like I have never felt before, like a huge wave of doom rushed over me, I started freaking out so badly I almost ripped my IV out and ran away, it was so traumatizing to me that they pushed a big dose of Ativan though my IV just to knock me out, I truly thought I was dying... And after all that it felt like my skin was crawling for a good 32 hours. No, thank you. Never again will allow this in my body."


"Worst thing ever! Had it in for almost a year, finally listened to my husband and got it removed. He said I wasn't the same person. Ok
 I thought whatever.... After removing it I didn't hate him any more ( ok I didn't hate him but wanted nothing to do with him if you know what I mean).  I  realized it was making me into a crazy person and I'm back to my normal happy self. It gave me terrible mood swings! Never again"


"I tried Savella for about 2 days.  I had severe nausea, rapid heartbeat, and horrible hot flashes.  It also ran my blood pressure up.  Started with a 12.5, then the next day broke the 12.5 in half and still had the same side effects.  I have tried everything from Neurontin to antidepressants and I have bad side effects from them all.  So as of now all I'm taking is tramadol as needed.  I give up on all the other medicines."


"Seasonale is awesome especially if you have very heavy periods and very bad cramps during menstrual cycle. The only side effects I have had are a few headaches here and there and spotting once in awhile.  (Hardly ever)"


"I started taking Phentermine just a little over a month ago weighing in at 307. My doctor started me out with half a 37.5 mg pill 2x a day. I immediately felt the medicine start working, the jittery jumping out of your skin feeling and I had a lot of energy the first few days. I sweated profusely and had to have water by my side at all times.  I felt the meds even out and by the 5th day I was asking my doctor to let me take a whole pill once a day. I make sure I take my dose early when I first wake up. So in about 5 weeks I have dropped down to 293. This drug is life changing for me. I should be on disability and I'm in chronic pain but this medicine has seemed to help me beyond the appetite suppressant. I'm a 40 year old female with hope!"


"I have an infection  in a broken tooth doctor prescribed me this 3 times a day about 30 min after taking 1 I am experiencing the worst pain I have ever felt in my life I'm assuming it's cause it's helping the infection  but not even pain killers help the pain I have taken about 8-10 vico din and still it's the worst feeling I have ever felt I won of rather  got it pulled without any numing shots this is hell it literally feels like there is a knife stuck in my jaw"


"I had severe hellish, unrelentless depression and did not want to live, I started taking Effexor and it worked the same day. I never thought something could work so well. I have few side effects. My life changed 100%. I am so happy now that the doctor put me on this. People should not be afraid to try anti-depressants."


"Absolutely amazing! My partner and I have nasal congestion for weeks but 10 minutes after taking one, we coughed and all of a sudden were clear! I feel like I haven't used the bottom half of my lungs in weeks. A little bit expensive. "


"Works great. No side effects and got my condition under control in 1 month after fighting it for over a year on other medicines."


"Took the nasal spray version. It doesn't seem to do anything. My migraines continued at the same frequency and intensity."


"I've been on Topamax for 2 weeks now after switching from Elavil. Now I'm seriously questioning that decision despite the problems Elavil caused me. The insomnia is outrageous. I have to set an alarm to take my morning dose at 5 a.m. so that my evening dose can be taken around 3 p.m. This way it's effects have kind have faded off by bedtime and with the help of some prescribed sleeping pills I'm lucky to get a tiny bit of sleep. Of course, along with that I have tingling, slight numbness (not enough to even complain about), dizziness, decreased appetite, taste aversion, and weight loss of course. I haven't had too many experiences with confusion yet. On a positive note, my migraines haven't returned."


"I took one pill when I went to bed, the next morning and days later I have a red patch on my cheek. First it burned and itched now it looks like I am a burn victim. I have taken this medication before but never again. I am just hoping this heals soon."


"Today is my first day on suboxone. I have to say this drug is a life saver. I was taking 20-25 tabs/percocets a day for 3 years. I have been wanting to get off them for a long time. After reading all the posts on here I finally got the guts to just go do it. So far I haven't had any side effects with it and I fell great. If you have a problem I promise this will help you get your life back. I was spending all my paychecks and doing whatever I needed to do to get them. Finally I am done chasing it and it feels great. You wont regret it. Good luck."


"I found out in 2003 that I had Hep-C I waited and put it off cause I was scared of those  interferon injections . As my  liver  enzymes rose and I had a bought off medical issues. I contacted a hep clinic in my area and they excepted me for the Harvoni treatment which I took from Apr. 2015/ July 2015 I was on it for 12 weeks cause I also had  cirrhosis. After 5 wks my blood work detected no infection. Then of course after the 12 I was cured and feel great. Never had a side effect or anything from this  miracle drug .  This drug should be available to everyone ."


"Brain rot. I have been on dilantin for over 40 years. Have just discovered dilantin is cause to numbness in legs, feet, balance and walking control. How so?" It's called cerebellum atrophy.  Thats where your cerebellum shrinks (my case about 40%)
It will get worse if I continue to take it, putting me in a wheel chair. Only one medicine does that to you- Dilantin. DO NOT TAKE IT. If you are on it, get off it (as I am about to do) It was also considered at one time the most toxic medicine out there. Look it up in PDR. Did it stop seizures? yes. Do I want to be a cripple and eventually have to be fed. No. Get off it."


"I went straight on Triumeq a couple of months of being diagnosed with HIV :( I started taking them in January it is now March and I am undetectable (yay) I did have a low viral count but still.

 I haven't had any bad side effects.  At first I took them in the morning, but thought they were making me feel a bit sick, so to be safe, I switched to taking them at bedtime, since then not a single issue for me, no night terrors, no sickness, nothing. Pop the pill and sleep :)

In UK this wasn't the first drug prescribed by my doctor, but due to other factors it was decided to try Triumeq. It may be worth asking about it and it comes free on the NHS."


"Cluster migraines made my life a misery. New doctor, new approach, and with Periactin of 5 x 4mg at night has changed my life. Yes, be careful with the weight gain, and the sleepiness abated after two weeks. Some strange dreams as well."


"I started taking phentermine on April 12, 2011 weighing 167lbs.  Today I weight 148lbs and it feels great.  This has definitely been not only life changing but motivational.  I'm not only more conscious about eating healthy, but also working out.  This combination has allowed me to already lose 19 pounds in about 5 weeks.  20 more to go, lets see how I keep doing."


"I had been struggling with OCD and anxiety and rage issues for a very long time.  I decided to get help after my daughter was born.  I was put on a myriad of different pills until Effexor.  It calmed me down, and my OCD is almost non-existent.  But miss a dose and you will be sick like you've never felt before!  Think of the worst flu you ever had...it's kinda like that but worse.  And all the anxiety comes back in full force.  It has really helped me to function,  but I would never have gotten on it if I knew how bad it was to get off it.  Try everything else before taking this.  It will help but at what cost?"


"I've had this thing in my arm for a year and 4 months.. I bleed 3 weeks at a time, I may go a whole week without bleeding before I start up again. I am very hormonal and difficult to be around. I have always been fun and out going, I have turned into crab since I've been on this birthcontrol. Last week I started passing clots and bleeding extra heavy, the cramps were out of this world. I literally could not move. I called my doctor to hear this is completely normal, and yes... after a year!! I told her I wanted it removed and now I have to be counselled on the matter. I DO NOT recommend this to anyone..."


"I wish I would have read these comments prior to me starting this pill. THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!! I have been bleeding and passing EXTREMELY LARGE blood clots for 13 days. It started 2 days into my second pack. The pain is severe almost mirroring labor pains with abdominal contractions everytime I pass a clot. I stopped the pill and bleeding continues to get worse. Avoid this pill like the plague!!"


"I've been on the pill a couple months now and love it. No weight gain, it has cleared up my skin, prevented pregnancy, regulated and lightened my periods. My only compliant is that I have no appetite at all and I'm constantly thirsty, which is annoying. Other than that, nothing but a positive experience all around and my skin has never looked more flawless!"


"3 days maybe, with a  tick in my left side under my arm, upper rib cage? Got it out, whole, sent it to a lab, it came back positive for lyme and negative  for  co infections. On 3rd day when I found it, urgent care doctor gave a two time prophylactic dose of doxy and sent me on my way. Maybe that was good enough, but I was outside the 72 hr first dose window, & lyme is something I just do NOT want to fight with. I don't get flu shots, don't take my baby aspirin, don't take my multivitamins, etc, etc...but I also don't get sick. But this? I know people that have been seriously screwed by this so I went to my doc and got the 100mg 2x day script for 14 days. I THINK I'll be okay, I'm generally sturdy. But at 50yrs old I'm playing it safe. 1 probiotic midday, no probs."


"I have been migraine free for 6 months (previously I had 3-4 migraines per month).  I also lost 25lbs and look great."


"After one of the worst years of my life I developed anxiety, was prescribed Endep 25mg, progressed to 50mg then 100mg. Side effects were full on and included but were not limited to dizziness, short term memory loss, black outs (momentary but scary), nightmares, indigestion, incredible tiredness (cloudy head, fuzziness), dry mouth and one of the deepest most horrible depressive states I have ever been in which included suicide thoughts , but hey, I didn't have anxiety! THIS IS A WARNING, if you develop suicidal thoughts while taking this drug see a doctor immediately!"


"I started Gilotrif/Afatinib 7 days ago. I can feel tumor shrinking, I can move now -I use to be so stiffed.

I was diagnosed NSCLC Lung Cancer stage 4. My diagnoses is EGFR exon 19 so this meds is perfect for my mutation.

After one day on Gilotrif, I had diaarhea. But the doctor gives me Loperamide to counter the side effect. Also - I avoided food - I simpy stay on BRATT's diet means clean food. So I was able to manage the diaarhea. Well - I got acne rash on my face. That does  not  bother me.The worst side effect is the SORE mouth. I cannot eat nor swallow any liquid. My Oncologist gives prescribed a meds called " Magic mouthwash & Nystatin Oral suspension" .  Hopefully I can manage the sore mouth, then I am a happy user.."


"When I first began taking Percocet 5/325 for disc protrusion L5-S1 I became very constipated. My doctor prescribed Polyethylene Glycol a powder for oral solution. This is Malox and it has been a God send for me. I am no longer constipated since about 6months ago. Just take it as prescribed and it truly works."


"One of the best antibiotics for me...
I was amazed how well it worked.
Down side: taste is horrible but that's probably why it's so good.

My side effects were plentiful but the risks outweighed the bad...
My biggest side effect was nausea and vomiting there were lots of moments I had to run to a bathroom or get out of a moving vehicle....

With all that, I'm still grateful. I was sicker then ever before.
I slept last night fully for the first time in almost 3 weeks...

If like me one of your symptoms are no appetite either force feed yourself or find an alternative with your doctor.
I'm sure being able to eat would've helped ease my stomach.

Feel better.
Had some dizziness and vaginitis.."


"So far so good! Had it put in on Halloween (of all days!) I was just finishing my period at that time, haven't had another one since. No spotting or anything. I do think I've been a little crankier as I adjust to the hormones. But I've had no issues with libido. I did get the expecting bruising and mild soreness for a few days at the insertion site but nothing too crazy. I'm very happy so far. No complaints. I would definitely recommend it."


"I was given this for GAD, 5mg twice daily.  It works great for anxiety and for sleep.  I'm authorized 15mg daily but normally I take 10 as described above.  Before this I tried lie 20 different medications and they all gave me several side effects until the Doc gave me this one. Mild muscle relaxer which I also need, god for sleep and awake on day time when  need to be awake and alert.  Sure, if I lay back on day time after taking the pill I can easily take a nice nap. ;-)"


"I was on chateal for about two years until I moved to a different state that didn't carry it. The best thing about was it cleared my skin completely! I wouldn't even wash my face for days and I still never got a pimple (I'm definitely prone to acne). However it did lower my sex drive and make me extremely apathetic. The week before my period I always got aggravated easily too which was odd cause I'm a very mellow person. No weight gain though! The first month it did make me a little emotional but after that I really didn't have any emotions (which was the problem). However I really do miss this medication. Now I constantly have acne and the pill I'm on now makes me spot. Definitely recommend chateal though."


"This week I started off on of 5 mg and then went up to 10mg. I've been doing a lot of spiritual work so I'm not sure whether I feel better because of the drug or because of trying to change my thinking. But one thing I've definitely noticed is that I am totally constipated.   Not even an urge to go.  I'll try the medication until  this batch is done, and hopefully the side effect will have gone. Otherwise I don't think I can stay on it.  No other side effects that I can see right now"


"About 8 years ago I was put on the antidepressant Lexapro, only to gain a massive amount of weight between Christmas and Easter.  I was so shocked and it wasn't until one of my brutally honest acquaintances gave me the 'what the hell happened' look. My doctor moved me onto phentermine, and while it took a few weeks to kick in, once it did, it was great. But you have to work out also, and drink lots of water. Cravings for fast food and pizza do disappear.  I felt awesome by the end of the summer and was at my lowest weight ever.

Now here's the hard part: life after phentermine.  This loses its effect rapidly. Use it wisely and you'll be successful."


"Valium helped relieve tension and anxiety prior to a endoscopic procedure and a colonoscopy. It caused no side-effects other then a slight amount of drowsiness."


"Took the medication for about 2.5 years, in addition to various other antidepressants such as Lexapro, Effexor XR, and Cymbalta. It did help me feel better and more stabilized for about the first 6 months of taking it. However, after those initial 6 months I felt it did very little if anything at all and my mood began to deteriorate. Additionally, I also gained over 25 pounds. I have always been a slim to toned athletic individual, so this weight gain was very uncharacteristic of me. In fact, my condition got so bad that I was actually too depressed to even get out of bed most days and never exercised. My diet remained more or less healthy throughout my time on Abilify. Stopped~Thanksgiving 2014, lost 30 pounds since, all else constant."


"I have been dealing with anxiety and depression off and on most of my life. I have never previously asked for help because I thought it was a sign of weakness.

Before I was waking up in tears, I was always angry, sure that everyone was judging me. It completely crippled me. I also was self-medicating with pot and with chocolate and my weight was ballooning.  I finally asked for help and started on a generic lexapro 10 mg - 2 weeks ago and it is like a miracle.

I'm sleeping well, not a tear shed, losing weight, have lost interest in both chocolate and pot. I feel content and happy yet I still feel like me. I wish I had asked for help a long time ago. Life is good!"


"I was having hand pains a friend put some on my hand,I had no pain for days,I went to my Dr.got a prescription, it works no ordor,it also helps my roto tear,I had a botched surgery, it helps that pain. Thanks to my friend and this company."


"I took this pill for my acne, and with that said, it worked wonders! My skin cleared up, I gained no weight, no moodiness. HOWEVER - this medication gave me blood clots in my lungs 19 days after I started taking them.

I ALMOST DIED BECAUSE OF THIS MEDICATION. My life is forever changed with anxiety, depression, and pain all because of these pills. I have chest pain almost every day. I have anxiety every day, with very bad anxiety attacks.

PLEASE READ THE INSERTS. The nurse that gave me the pills DID NOT WARN ME THAT BLOOD CLOTS WERE A RISK. If I hadn't read the inserts, I would not have known that I had to go to the hospital.  I was in the hospital in the ICU for THREE DAYS. It was a $30k hospital bill."


"I have been off and on Topamax for about 5 years now and I must say that it works better for bipolar mood stabilization than any other one out there. The one thing I love the most about this medicine is that it is helping me lose weight. They need to put in the time to verify that this drug is in fact a mood stabilizer because it certainly does help with bipolar disorder."


"I've been on the Nuvaring for 4 months now. It is effective as a birth control and has cleared up my skin a bit, although I still get a few hormonal cysts a month. It has not affected my mood and it pretty much feels like I'm not on anything. Most days I wonder if it is even in, but it always is when I check. One side effect is I have lost 15 pounds since I started it."


"Have been on a lot of different antidepressants for anxiety. Most meds made my condition worse (making me more hyper) or made me 'not care' (eg citalopram). Although it's been hard getting used to Effexor - it made me very sick for the first few weeks and affected my sleep - I now feel more in control now than I've ever been before."


"This medicine saved me.  Starting about the age of 15 I began to experience menstrual cramps for the first time.   It was the very worst pain I had ever felt at that time.  Not content to only hurt in my lower abdomen the pain radiated all the way down the front of my legs to my ankles.  I couldn't sit still.  All I could do was pace back and forth crying.  I couldn't find a single pain reliever that worked; we had the usual in the house, aspirin, ibuprofen, even Midol.  Finally my mother became so worried she took me to the doctor.  I thought I was going to have to be on some kind of strong prescription medication.  What does he do, he returns to the room with about 50 samples of Aleve and it has been my miracle drug ever since."


"I started the depo in 2010 I stopped because I became pregnant. After I had my daughter I went back on. While on it I suffered from migraines that would last for days. I would miss work and school. I stopped again because of the migraines.. I have been bleeding for over a month.. I try to find out answer why this was happening but no one understands me.."


"l took this and it help me sleep because I had brain surgery to stop my seizures and all others have side effect of possibly causing seizure so I took this one. The one bad side effect was that I was alone and depressed and it made my depression worse.  So don't take this if you r depressed.  I was just glad my son  phoned me"


"So I started contrave 3 weeks ago. With one pill a day, I lost 5 lbs the first week. Upped the dose to 1am  1pm. Lost 2 lbs. No bad side effects. Just thirsty and maybe a tiny headache. Started Sunday with 2 in the morning and one at night- migraines from 12-6pm then eat dinner and feel better. Then I get a headache again.  Light sensitivity. Nauseousness. Gained 2 lbs. Not sure if I can handle this dose. I did have more energy until these stinking headaches started kicking my butt."


"I have depression with anxious disitress.My extremely racing thoughts would typically whip me up into a panicky state, sometimes with outbursts of irrational anger. Seroquel XR works fantastically to ease that racing mind, to a more 'normal'and useful pace. Side effects are virtually absent: the XR doesn't floor me like immediate release Seroquel did. I can function and think well. Seroquel XR is a good medicine. It also helps with my depression."


"One way to relieve the nausea is to take Brintellix in Peanut or almond butter.  Put the bill directly in the pnut butter. It really helps.

If nausea occurs when beginning the med it usually goes away within a couple weeks. Same for increasing the dose."


"I have suffered with constipation for most of my life. Nothing helped until Linzess became available. I have a daily bowel motion and feel really good. Only side effect is a little gassiness."


"The medicine turned me into a weight gaining zombie that didn't want to get out of bed. It controlled my allergies (no more so than zyrtec) and made me feel horrible."


"I'm really surprised at how many people complain about the cap. I bought 2 bottle (because my whole family uses it) and got the tape and red cap off without a hitch. I just followed the picture on the side of the box....any way I love this product. Good luck everyone!"


"Now I know a lot of women out there are scared. I was terrified that I was ever in the position where I had to buy myself this pill. Long story short, the day after I ended my period, I had sex with my boyfriend and the condom slipped. It was my first month off birth control so I was very nervous. I ended up taking the pill 4-6 hours after the incident. We did a lot of research on it and I experienced a few symptoms within the next couple days such as nausea, a little bit of cramping, and I had an induced period from the pill a week later. It was like a regular period except it last roughly four days(short for me). Then the waiting began. I had nearly forgotten about it until I realized it was a past my normal expected period date. I began to panic, even though off my regular pill my periods are irregular. I read too many message boards about taking plan B and still getting pregnant and I had a lot of cry sessions because the only person I could talk to was my boyfriend. I then realized I hadn't been counting from the induced period date and having a normal cycle after that period. I was right on the edge of it being seven days past what my new expected date was and I started to panic again. Let me tell you, it was the most welcomed pain in the world when I finally got it eight days past the expected date a month after the induced period. I had bad cramping for a week leading up to it and really painful cramps the day of. I think stress played a huge role in delaying my period also because I was thinking about it every second of every day. My advice is to try to relax, take a deep breathe, and let the medicine do its job. Please try not to put yourself in this position, it is not worth the stress if you aren't on birth control!"


"Initially, I tolerated the drug well.  About 4 months into treatment, I had a lot of problems: dizziness, disorientation, joint and muscle pain and stomach upset.  Also, my hair started to thin, and nails cracked due to dryness. Within a week of stopping the drug I was feeling better.  One month out and I was very well."


"After taking my first dose, I vomited for hours. Am afraid to take anymore due to side effects."


"The initial side effects were horrible. I felt exhausted and nauseated all the time. After a month I noticed a dramatic improvement in my mood. I had energy, I was less depressed and anxious. Prior starting Cymbalta had tried two different antidepressants which did not seem to be effective. The decreased libido with cymbalta is worth having my life back."


"I been taking a combination of Exforge 10 mg/320 mg and a prescription diuretic for about 7 months and it works great together with very little side effects."


"I was always depressed. Became addicted to painkillers and when kicked it cold turkey my doctor prescribed me 100mg trazodone.  3 weeks in I felt amazing.  Could sleep at night, no more panic attacks and my moods are stable.  Love it!"


"Was prescribed Sprix for back pain. It worked amazingly!  Took the pain away by day two!  But it must be taken correctly.  Spray to the side away from center of the nose (Septum).  And breathe through your mouth.  The spray is a mist so you don't need to sniff or snort.  If you snort it, it will just go down your throat and won't taste good.  If you do this, you won't get the nasal irritation burn and you will feel excellent and pain free!"


"I had serious depression. Feel cured with Effexor and on my way to a full life."


"I was on Seroqyel for two years and loved it except at the beginning was very sleepy but went away after a few weeks. Very shaky but rather than that was wonderful. I am drug free and loving it today though, easy to go off it too."


"My Dr. put me on 25mg to help me sleep and stop unwanted thoughts as a result of marital stress. I was experiencing a knot in my stomach and episodes of weeping.  Since starting this medication, I feel so much happier, rested, relaxed.
I had diarrhea for the first 2 days, but it was mild. I am not feeling out of control anymore.
I think when my marriage issues are over, I will stop taking it.  This medicine has really come through!"


"Cannot wait to get off this pill...horrible mood swings!  Extremely irritable, crying at everything, beginning to dislike my husband (not good!), feel like I am coming out of my skin some days, I cannot stand myself and I'm pretty sure my family is starting to feel the same.  Took me a couple of months to figure out it was the pill causing it, since this all started after I started taking it 4 months ago.  I started with it to help with very heavy periods, it is helping with that although I did have a 2 week period last month which is never enjoyable.  Pretty sure this pill is causing me to have this PMDD which I have never experienced before.  It's horrible.  Switching to something else so hopefully it will get better!"


"I'm on week 4 of taking Pristiq, I had nausea, loss of appetite, foggy head, sleepiness during the day and sleeplessness at night for the first week.  The side effects are all gone now, and I think I'm starting to feel a bit less depressed.  I think this medicine affects a person so gradually that it's hard to tell for sure if you are improving.  But when I look back to 5 weeks ago, before I started, I think I'm less depressed.  I take 50 mg in the evening.  I was taking it in the morning because my doctor said I might sleep better at night if I take it in the morning.  But I found that I was very sleepy in the early afternoon when taking Pristiq in the morning.  So I slowly changed to taking it at night."


"Taken as prescribed this with other prescription & over the counter meds  allow me to function as well as I'll ever be able to. All pain is not removed but is lowered to point that I'm able to buck up do most of what is necessary.
  I have been on some type prescribed opioid almost 20 years , liver function is checked regularly, as well as for any other signs of abuse, and there has been no problems.
   I take for pain from 4 low back surgeries, that resulted in rsd,   'failed back surgery syndrome'.
  Taken as meant to be there should only be a lowering of pain, I've never experienced a 'high' from taking my pain meds."


"It hurt each time I got the shot. The pain would be there for a week or so. "


"This was a dream come true...until the diarrhea came. I had zero GERD symptoms for the first time in 14 yrs. It was so disappointing when I developed uncontrollable diarrhea that lasted 22 days. I stopped taking the medication and it took another week for the symptoms to go away. I gave it a 2 month break, tried it again when I was having a very bad day with my hiatal hernia and GERD. It only took 2 days for the symptoms to come back this time. Really very sad I have to choose between pain and diarrhea."


"I have been taking sertraline for many years.  It was prescribed to relieve my levels of anxiety.  Considerably, it helped, however due to the fact that I have been taking for so many years, my dr decided to increase the dosage to 200mg and presently he prescribed oxcarbazepine 150mg.   Although sertraline helps me to control my anxiety, an additional increment was needed.  While I don't take sertraline can feel the side effects such as dizziness and nausea.  It is a good psychotropic medication, however after a while it seems that mg has to be increased.  Hoping this would help me to decrease my anxiety and moderate depression."


"My internist prescribed me 25mg of Zoloft daily as an alternative to Wellbutrin. The side effects were not worth the benefit for me. In the seven weeks I faithfully used the med I suffered from severe fatigue, inability to orgasm, weight gain, acne, and chest heaviness. As a thirty-something, in-shape mother of two, I have zero time for naps so, fatigue was not a livable option for me. I'm actually really surprised by the weight gain as I hit the gym daily. The pros of this medicine would be: my sweet tooth was non-existent. That's probably it."


"Just took first dose.  Mixed with water and didn't breathe while drinking, so didn't taste it.  Took me 4 long drinks, separated by swigs of Zevia Lemon Twist colorless soda and 3-5 minute pauses. Chewing Double-mint gum right now - so far so good."


"Invokana 100 mg daily  in addition to Metformin took my blood sugar levels way down..never over 150s range. . lost weight without trying. .main side effect was constant urination. .about every hour..great med  other than that"


"Worked well for my IBS"


"My Doctor prescribed Seroquel for my insomnia, which I began experiencing during menopause.  The Seroquel, 50 mg works like a charm.  If I take it on an empty stomach, I feel sleepy within 1/2 hour, and sleep very well through the night.  Dreams are more vivid, I agree.  I also agree that I often feel hungry before I fall asleep, after taking Seroquel.  All in all, it has been very helpful."


"I just took my first dose of this medication today and already I can walk up and down the stairs of my house, something I have not been able to do for months, due to the swelling in my feet. What a relief!"


"I've had acne since I was 12 years old. I used a lot (and I mean a lot) of acne products, even Accutane and Tactuo, and none of them worked for me. I am now 20 years old and after using Benzaclin, my acne completely disappeared!! My face is really smooth now! The only things left are my scars that I'm working on to remove. :)"


"My number was 240 with a bad ratio. Now its around 140 with a great ratio."


"I had a bad reaction to this medicine; trouble breathing, tight throat, cold hands and feet, increased pulse, strong headache, then fatigue. It was very frightening, but did go away after several hours."


"Most people that are complaining that they got acne using it are most most likely in their first/second month of using it. I'm almost at my fifth month of taking Microgestin and I rarely break out now. I've definitely been noticing that my skin looks better. Also, I have been weighing myself and have not gained weight from it. My advice is, just keep on taking it because most symptoms (mainly the acne part) gets worse before it gets better."


"I've long used BuSpar, and it is an odd duck. Alone, it did little, but in combination with other meds it's amazing. Particularly SSRIs. It seems to amplify other meds, from painkillers to Prozac. It's not something I'm afraid to take, the boost is subtle but it definitely helps my anxiety slip away. I've not noticed any sick withdrawal efffects, being off it once for 2 months. I take 30 mg/day in two 15 mg doses."


"I have been on the Depo-Provera shot for a little over a year now and I must say I love it! I did not have to pay a dime out of pocket since my insurance covered it, so it was free. Also, before starting this I took the birth control pill Aviane and I sometimes forgot to take it on time, so that's the reason why I chose to get on the Depo since you take it every 3 months. The Depo is very effective and is great preventing pregnancy, I barely get periods anymore, and the unwanted hair on my body started going away.  I noticed that my hair grew longer too, but I don't know if it was because of the Depo shot or not. Other than that I will continue to use this form of birth control and I highly recommend this to other women."


"I just hit the 1 year mark taking the depo shot and decided to get off of it for multiple reasons. I was bleeding the first 3 months straight  I was on it but they assured me it would go away and it did. I has mood swings like no other but the biggest turn off for me was the weight gain. I gain 31lbs over a year time frame WHILE going to the gym 3-4 times a week and eating healthy. I thought something was wrong and so did my primary doctor so he did blood work on me an i'm as healthy as a horse! He mentioned my birth control and it all made so much sense. My friend and I started it around the same time and she was 123lbs, a year later she gained 36lbs and almost weighs 160lbs. I also lost my sex drive."


"About 2 months on citalopram, starting taking it for headaches and anxiety attacks caused by stress from work, college, and a lot of life changes at once. Wasted a month refusing to take it because I was "too good for medication like this" and because of the horror stories I'd read. After a couple weeks it helped soooo much, I could have my life back without the constant worry of where and when I would have anxiety attacks. I can finally have relaxing evenings at home. No problems other than slight drowsiness the first few days and a lot of sexual dysfunction the first couple weeks."


"I have been on 50mg Zoloft for about six month, I do find that my symptoms have improved some but my memory is awful.  I cannot remember a lot of important things and after doing some internet research, I found that several similar experiences.  Anyone have memory loss?"


"Citalopram has been a life saver for me. I've gone on and off of it over the past 5-6 years, but I've currently been on it for a year straight and it's seriously helped me so much. I have awful, debilitating anxiety. Citalopram has really helped. I still have anxiety, but it is so much more manageable and I'm able to get through the anxiety attacks so much easier and faster than when I'm not on the medication. The only issue is that it has caused severe TMJ for me. It causes me to grind and clench my teeth really bad. I'd honestly rather have TMJ than crippling anxiety, though. I've been on 20 mg for the past year, but was on 40 mg 5 years ago."

"Works wonderfully on my skin."


"Bunavail is a great alternative to Suboxone films.  There is no 30 minute wait for it to dissolve, and one can carry on with normal activities while it is adhered to the cheek.  It also has far better bioavailability, so less of the medicine is wasted in the digestive tract.  Also, I've had less headaches from Bunavail than Suboxone.  The only problem is getting them to properly adhere to your cheek.  Sometimes they roll up like a scroll, or wad up and turn into a ball of mush.  This wastes a film, and none of us have "extra" Bunavail to use if this should happen (as the manufacturer suggests)!  There are no instructions as to how long they should remain adhered, either.  I love Bunavail, but this issue is beyond frustrating!"


"I started taking this after going to the Dr and seeing I was not healthy at all. I've never been this big in my 30yrs of life. I started  on October 22nd weighing 226 this morning I weighed 210. I didn't have a lot of side affects. The first few days I felt wired and couldn't sleep but now I just feel full of energy. I cut out all sweets, soda, and energy drinks. I don't crave anything like that except a sprite here n there but I'll take 2 drinks and I'm done with it. You do have dry mouth at first but it just makes you want to drink water which is good. I absolutely love this and so thankful for because my Dr said if I didn't get my health back right I would have a stroke or heart attack in 5/10 years. I recommend this 1000% Good luck!!"


"I broke my back 8T when I was 29. The pain got worse as I aged.  This past year I  thought my life of suffering would destroy me.  My doctor placed me on the patch.  It made me feel so much better.  A life saver. Considering I have a curved spine and fibromyalgia too. I have to wear 2 X 25mg and change every 48 hours.  My only complaint is sweating and some dizziness. "


"So I went in on tuesday for a uti but no bacteria showed up so the doc prescribed the generic macrobid and the first pill I took was on Wednesday i ended up having a severe headache 30 minutes later and got a slight fever all day and took the 2nd pill. The next day I woke up feeling great and took the medicine again leaving me with a terrible headache again. So that night I did not want to take it what so ever.  Then Friday came (today) and I went back in for a different medicine and my head didn't hurt really at all but I found out I still had a temp of 100.1. This pill has given me the worst with terrible headaches and a fever. Definitely doesnt work with me. Bdid slightly help whatever I have going on but not as quick as others"


"I've been on Brintellix for 4  months now.  It is providing a mild antidepressant/anti-anxiety effect, but definitely not robust enough for my lifelong generalized anxiety disorder and depression.  I'd give a 3.5/10.  It's better for me than Viibryd (the medicine it most closely resembles), but I'm still in a state of deep dysfunction.  On the positive side, the side effects have been minimal, the most prominent being some decrease in sexual desire and sexual pleasure.  (Not really an issue for me though since my anxiety and depression pretty much have a corner on that non-existent aspect of my life).  Also, even with my decent insurance, and Takeda's "discount card," the cost for a month's supply of 30mg a day (the dose I'm taking) is about $300.  Not affordable."


"It dehydrates you like crazy and I could not drink enough liquids.  My throat got so dry it caused me to cough uncontrollably.  For the past 3 nights I could not sleep... Even took 10mg of Ambien which usually knocks me out cold.... But it didn't work.  I just found this site and learned that my insomnia is caused by mucinex d.  Not worth the lack of sleep!"


"I thought I saw some improvement but not enough to deal with the price and irritation to my skin."


"I have been on Xeloda since October 2011 and haven't had any of the side effects listed.  I have been able to maintain my appetite and haven't lost my hair.  Actually, my hair has thinned just a little, gained a little bit more body and is getting lighter.   This has been a very positive experience as far as chemo goes.  I definitely will do Xeloda again (If I have to).  There is a questionable mass on my lung...surgeon says cancer....oncologist no sure...and it is shrinking.  I'm unsure if it is related to the combination medication I was on or Xeloda.  I will hopefully determine that with this cycle of Xeloda on its own. "


"My doctor started me out on 25 mg a day for a week, then 50mg a day after that. The first 3 weeks were not good-- symptoms became somewhat worse. However I had read enough reviews to understand that I need to stick with it. After the 4th week I could tell I was not nearly as anxious and worrisome but still didn't feel 100%. My doc upped the dosage to 100mg a day and it's the perfect dose for me. Stay with this drug! It has really helped me! At first I had diarrhea for a few days, but that's gone. I yawn even when I'm not tired and catch myself clenching my jaws but I will tolerate that to feel like myself again. Oh, I also had mild depression, which this drug also helped. Hope this helps someone else."


"After only 2 applications my skin had a nearly normall appearance and feel."


"I am a female, first diagnosed at age 19 with bipolar disorder. They first tried Zyprexa which I had a horrible reaction to. The Depakote made me feel like a zombie for months, until it brought me back down to "normal". I stayed on approx 500 mg/day for almost 6 years, then backing down to 250mg until I stopped. I had started to feel depressed at 31 and was put on Lexapro, this led to a manic episode within a few months. Alas I am back on Depakote 500mg/ day. It has saved me. Luckily no significant weight gain besides 10 lbs I lost being manic!) but I do work out and try to eat healthy."


"This drug saved my life.

It did not work for the first month and a half but when it did! Amazing results! No anxiety! And I suffered from panic attacks 24/7. Not saying this drug alone will fix all your problems but it helped me so so much! Gave me my excitement for life back"


"I've smoked for 19 years and I am amazed as to how well Chantix has worked!  I don't even want a cigarette.  The only side effect was the dreams and they weren't crazy just weird and constant, it kind of was funny to tell people about them the next day.  Personally I'd recommend it!"


"I had been on Celexa from 2002 to 2014, 20 mg a day.
My doctor told me about Brintellix (now Trintellix) and I switched to it about 2 and half years ago.
Since I am also on Wellbutrin, I only needed 5 mg of Trintellix a day.
Can't say that it makes me feel perfect, but it helped with my depression and anxiety disorder.
Today is the first day that I have not been on Trintellix, but still on Wellbutrin and I am feeling about as even keel as I have in a while, not experiencing anxiety or depression at all.
I'll see how it goes in the next few days, but if I keep on feeling like this, I will stay just on the Wellbutrin and not go back to Trintellix."


"I got onto Microgestin FE 1/20 and it is my first experience with birth control. Needless to say, I was extremely nervous for starting the pill and was putting it off as long as possible until I couldn't deal with my AWFUL, EXCRUCIATING period pain anymore. I am 26 years old  and this birth control saved my life. My body is no longer taking a beating every month. I take my pill at 9:30pm which helps me sleep through any sickness that I feel after taking it. I have experienced moodiness (this got better with time), body sensitivity, and dryness during sex (invested in good quality lubricant). I highly recommend this BC and remember that everyone's body is different. Give it a shot and if you don't like it you can always CHANGE it!"


"I am 60 and have ED. I have been taking Cialis and it has turned back the clock for me.  I take 10 mgs and 24hrs later I am ready for action. The effect lasts for 36 hrs. I can make love to my wife for 2 hrs straight and not orgasm. In the meantime my wife has had 3-4 orgasms. After resting a while we go at it again.In all sorts of positions. My wife keeps begging me to orgasm but I can hold on. Finally after a week of making love like this I decide to orgasm which is so intense and long! Both of us are so happy. Cialis rocks ."


"I have suffered with severe pain from neurofibromatosis. After the first day of taking Lyrica I felt wonderful. A bit sleepy and forgetful. I have not noticed an increase in
appetite but I have noticed food tastes better. I am also sleeping harder and it is hard to wake up. After 4 days I am so happy to have found this."


"I got up one morning my eyes was swollen shut as the day processed my lips started swelling in thought it was do to my allergies then my face got a rash on my face then my tongue started to swell along with my throat had to go to the ER"


"Compared to last year, a feel may grass pollen allergy far less in my airways this year. Before starting Singulair, I could get asthma attacks of just low amounts of grass pollen. Now, my tolerance has greatly improved. The same goes with my eyes. It took some weeks, but now I hardly need eye drops (i.e. Cromolyn) any more. This medicine has truly exceeded my expectations.
Side effects were slight itching and drowsiness the first two weeks or so."


"I'm on my 3rd day with Contrave. I noticed some dizziness, hot flashes (which I didn't know was a side effect). I can't really tell if my appetite is suppressed since most of my prior overeating has been stress related. So I'm figuring out the difference between real hunger & stress hunger. I previously took Adipex for 9 months and lost 40lb before it quit working . Then, gained 21lb back when stress levels sky rocketed on my job. They're still high but I really hope Contrave works. I hoping to lose 30 pounds. Nothing yet but it's early in the game."


"Prozac has saved my life. I was unable to function normally and was very irritable. I have been taking it for 5 months and it is amazing. Other than not feeling hungry and feeling numb to things that formerly made me irate. I have had no bad side effects. I am finally living. Only wish I had the nerve to take it 10 years ago. I missed out on so much due to my severe depression."


"I hate this birth control. First, my periods went away entirely, which I didn't want. I also have absolutely no sex drive, which has caused some problems between the BF. I have also started noticing sharp pains in my uterus since beginning this medication. I've gained 20 pounds, I feel like the cravings are out of control. This is the worst birth control I have ever taken."


"I had exactly the same experience with humira as JayAll did on April 8th 2015.Two weeks in hospital with pneumonia that spread fast,drained lung fluid,scarred lung and now copd.I had no lung problems in the past.Still on methotrexate and now on otezla flares and pain still here, but doc wants me to try it for four months"


"Medication works very well to control nausea from chemotherapy. Patch does not stay on arm well.  After day one it started to peel off.  Doctor had to give me an office sample to replace it."


"Makes me super depressed unmotivated and unable to enjoy anything. Does increase attention span at the cost of not wanting to do anything."


"I have only been on this pill since Sunday (taken 3 pills so far) but so far it's great. My acne cleared up after the first night and I feel so much more relaxed and at peace (that might be because I always have a pleasant drowsy feeling which I never heard of happening on a birth control pill). I sleep really well now, my skin looks great and I have no side effects. Only thing is if I don't take care of myself by sleeping, eating or drinking enough water, I really notice now whereas before I could just ignore it. Besides that this pill has been great so far. Will try to post an update because I'm not sure how it will be once I get into the other pill colors (or the next few weeks)."


"It works but I think it might be the effect from having extra energy so you do more things.  It definitely helps with motivation and depression.  Ironically it got rid of my anxiety as well."


"I’ve been on sprintec for a month now and it’s been good. The first week I was a little nauseous and had some headaches but that could be due to stress not the pill. I haven’t gained any weight or gotten bigger boobs. My acne isn’t too much better but I’ll give it more time, got my period so it’s doing it’s job. No real complaints!!"


"I have arthritis in most joints, especially in spine, degenerative disc disease & now spondylolisthesis (vertebrae slipping onto next vertebrae -bone against bone. MD just upped my Opana from 10 to 20 mg, 5mg Xanax 3x day to calm me (no change) & switched from Oxy IR 10mg 6-8 hrs to Percocet 7.5 6-8 hrs due to pain increase. What a difference! I feel able to do the things I like/need to do. Advice to anyone taking narcotics -do NOT mix with alcohol-you'll overdose, don't take more than directions-you'll just build tolerance & they won't work. If your medicine stops working as mine did, don't take more, tell your Doc, a different combination can change everything!"


"Wow  this Pill is like a second opportunity after your stuff up !! So I Had sex on February 4 around 9:45am , he finished inside me & I flipped out I was a hot mess , I got the emergency contraceptive like an hour an half later , best take b4 72 hours the earlier the better . So I'm not going to tell you not to be nervous ok , shit happens .  I was nervous very emotional . I Didn't know when we're my ovulation days I don't keep track . Made me even more nervous. I prayed and just relaxed , less stress the better . For the first week I just got minor cramps , second day after I took it I was very nauseous. Almost hitting the second week I was breaking out and my cramps were more noticeable . Bam exactly a day b4 the second week  ! PERIOD !"


"Gabapentin gives me a nice sleep with good dreams.  Some dreams are vivid even.  If I do wake up I'm in a decent to good mood.  200-300mg per night.  Morning fog and grog is not bad at all.  Best sleep aid I know of.  I've also tried Trazadone which is a bit too heavy and gives poor dream quality.  I'll stick with gabapentin till I find a better one.  Daytime meds are levothyroxin and concerta."


"Vyvanse has been amazing for me. I used to take Adderall, which made me moody, self-conscious, unhappy with myself and life, and far from  my true personality. I now take 70 mg Vyvanse and it has worked miracles. I feel I am my true self but with controlled ADHD symptoms. Now, when I need to concentrate, I am now able to thanks to Vyvanse."


"My doctor put me on Topamax for my migraine headaches, I was on that medication for about 3 weeks, took 2-25 mg a day.  During that time I had one huge migraine and 6 headaches. I felt very tired and couldn't speak clearly and couldn't finish a sentence. I would NOT recommend this medicine to anyone. IT WAS A BAD EXPERIENCE."


"I am 24 years old. Before I started Yasmin, I felt like I was trapped in a 47 year olds body; always tired, moody, angry and never seemed to lose weight. I've also tried every acne product know. None of them work (not for me anyway) until one day I saw a commercial on television, about "Yasmin". After talking it over with my doctor he told me to try it and see. WOW! Let me tell you what happen to me. I kid you not, after the 1st week my face was clear, I mean beautiful. I didn't have to ware any make-up and I lost 10lbs within the first month. And for some strange reason, people don't call me bipolar anymore. I tell you Yasmin works from inside out. It is GREAT."


"I was prescribed 10mg for 2 weeks, then up to 20mg. Originally prescribed for anxiety, I also suffered from severe depression.

Within 3 weeks, I could see an improvement. My crying stopped, things were looking better!

Been on for 2/3 months now, and I feel amazing! Back to my old self. I love this medication!"


"THIS IS THE WORST PILL I've suffered from mild to severe acne most of my life(lol but I am only 18) and my face was just starting to clear up, and I heard birth control could do the last steps to doing so and getting rid of my acne once in for all. Not to mention my periods were so out of cycle and came whenever they felt like. I got prescribe Lo Loestrin Fe by my gynecologist, first week was fine, but by the second week I started getting painful cysts on my chin and the following week all over my cheeks. After the first month, painful cysts on my forehead. It's gotten to the point where I am embarrassed to be seen at school or even put my hair up. Tonight I am stopping the pill on going back on my normal acne medication."


"Took linzess one time and wound up in the ER the same night due to a horrible rash.  I had horrific diareha the hours leading up to the rash.  I now have a big hospital bill and no relief of IBM.  Will NOT ever take it again."


"Thank goodness for this medication.  I could probably not live a normal life without it.  I have so many fewer panic attacks while on it.  I have tried almost everything.  This is the only one that works for me.  It also helped my father.  He was on it until the day he died."


"This medication has been working well for me so far and I've tried them all. Glad it comes in 2 doses. I figure I can get good results with 3mg why bump up to 6mg. Side effects are nothing compared to others I have tried. I hope I don't get used to it but my doctor said it's not addicting."


"I've only been on this medication for about 2 weeks. That said, I've slept almost every day since starting it. I know sleepiness is a common side effect but this is excessive. Almost no energy throughout the day. Nonstop yawning. My depression is still there, anxiety has been better. I just feel very drained and apathetic. I'll stick with it for a while longer because I know it will take a while for the full affect to kick in. hoping for good results!"


"My family KNOWS if I miss a dose.  If I'm not around them during the day, then I know by mid afternoon if I've missed it.  I feel unloved, depressed, yearning to just die.  But we try to keep the dose as low as possible that will still work for me.  When taken regularly, I'm a 'normal' person."


"I have Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). It's a painful condition that keeps me up all night long. I take narcotics (least possible) & other CNS depressants. I have tried everything 4 insomnia & ambien was my fail proof last ditch for 7 years. But ambien stopped working. I was taking 20mg a night. For the 1st time I took Belsomra last night - 10mg (supposedly ineffective dose) & I slept better than I have in years. Lunesta sucks. I'm really not ok w/taking anti-psychotics/seizures or benzos for sleep as they can affect  your mind later. What's the point of sleep if you don't heal? Benzos change REM sleep anyway and your memory fails in 10 y. I slept last night. I'm grateful for the med. $10 a pill is expensive but worth it. I will keep trying them. Downloaded coupons."


"This med is amazing! I've been on it 3 weeks and lost 30lbs!!!!!!! Never expected that "


"Have had in since Feb 27/17 been bleeding ever since, just when you think it's done more bleeding.... ready to take this thing out. Doctor checked said it's in place properly and confirmed with an ultrasound. Not getting pregnant which is awesome, also having less sex due to bleeding and cramping so suppose it's doing its job."


"I'm 24 yrs old, I started taking lo loestrin fe about a year ago. As soon as I started taking the pill I felt fine. My weight was not effected and my acne actually cleared up. Overall, I was happy about the pill. Anywho, I stopped the pill for about a month because my script went up and a ton of other inconveniences came up. I immediately began taking the pill the following month but I noticed my hair is falling out. I'm sure this is due to stopping the pill. I already have thin hair so this is freaking me out. It's coming out in chunks and I shed a lot throughout the day.Since, my skin is prone to cystic acne that's what's appearing on my face and back. I'm not sure what to do. Change BC or stay on this and let my body adjust?"


"Fantastic! Have tried other medicines but this is by far the best for anxiety."


"Best medicine, the only treatment that worked on the dots on my arms that I suffered with for years. Just really expensive."


"So far not impressed. Had tummy upset  for two weeks but that did ease off. I do feel full and bloated which is good but my blood sugars are higher than when I was on othe meds by mouth. I'm on Novo mix 30 insulin 60 morning dose and 60 evening dose. My readings over the last week have been from 12.8 to 24.6. Surely this isn't right. And no weight loss. Feel really disappointed. I do take Mirtazipine for depression and my G.P. has just increased my dose. Apparently this can cause increased weight and appetite. Feel like I'm fighting a losing battle at the moment."


"I have been taking Levora for about 6 months. I have realized lately that I am very unhappy with it. I have a very decreased sex drive. I never am interested in being intimate. I also have alot of cramping on my period, which I thought birth control was supposed to decrease. I'm thinking about switching over to Ortho Tri Cyclen. I was wondering what other people have experienced with that one? all the reviews seem very positive..."


"I have been struggling with excessive underarm sweat since I hit puberty. I had tried literally everything and nothing even slightly helped. One day I was at the drug store and spotted drysol, I was a bit reluctant by the price but my desperation decided to give it a shot. Just after a few nights of using the product I saw results. Using drysol has literally been the best decision of my life, I am no longer anxious and embarrassed about my underarms and can wear anything I'd like!!! Although it did make it hard to sleep at night due to the itchiness and slight burning but I say it's totally worth it, and eventually I got used to it and it wasn't so bad. Definitely recommend!!!"


"I've been taking Apri for over 6 months. I love it, I got like my period down to an exact date each month. They're really light and manageable unlike before where it was very heavy and unpredictable. My sex drive I feel is higher but I do get more discharge and my breasts got bigger so 10 for this pill and good price too!"


"I have had 8 infusions.  They help...I have mild headaches after each one, but a nap fixes that.  No issues.  I DO know that you have to stay in close contact with your doctor, monitor liver function and take care of yourself.

"


"Don't ever use this,
When I was 4 years old I was sick and the doctor give me augmentin. It effected me in a negative way, I used to throw up, pee (urninate) with blood, my skin was very pale and my eyes were yellow, and it caused me severe liver problems."


"I been on this medicine for 2 1/2 months and have lost 26.5 pounds so far. I can't eat on this medicine. After a few bites I feel stuffed. It works great for me, and I have tried every thing out in the past 10 years. The only side effects are dry mouth and lower back pain. Well worth the trade-off."
