"Have had no hot flushes since using Climara. Skin looks better. Noticed all tissues were thinning out after hysterectomy  and all have returned to normal. My patch stays on all week now that I have had time to figure out best method. Apply to clean dry skin, put patch on, press firmly then make a circle (using fingers) around and around on patch. Once I have pressed it stays on all week. Takes about 40-45 seconds to make sure it sticks. Very simple."


"hi all I would like to share my experience I have had acne a long time. I tried all products and acne treatments. Then when my friend suggest me about epiduo gel saying it works wonders.  when I started using it first week it become hell my face become red skin, peeling and  dry.  But I pausee for 5 days and used misturiser oilfree. Afetr that I started using again epiduo every alternative day it work amazing. I Usually don't write review but want to help all acne suffers and tell them that this medicine helped a lot and I'm so happy my skin looks so good no break out nothing, but yes you need to chose a good moisturing cream.  Also very important drink lots of water and don't be disappointed bcoz when u will start epiduo gel it will really breakout the first week. At that time just pause two to three days and start using the moisturiser"


"Had a very sore throat, sinus and ears completely congested, lungs and back extremely sore with a gurgling sound in every breath and continuous coughing.  Overall I felt very miserable.  I'm very reluctant to go to a doctor but finally did.  I was given the 5 day Z-pack.  I noticed feeling a lot better even after the first dose.  I wasn't expecting something to work so quickly.  Now on the 3rd day and sort of leveled out.  Not feeling better but I'm not miserable.  Still congested in my lungs but I can breath freely.  I hope this knocks it out by the 5th day."


"Accutane is wonderful...I first started the medicine when i was 15...(i am now 21) and still to this day, i do NOT have any acne! I had horrible acne and after i took accutane it was all clear, and still is! .. within the first week all my pores cleared out and all the blackheads on my nose would literally peel off .. the side effects i experienced was very dry lips, my skin on my back would peel and shed.. depression and crying spells, backaches, and migrains.. when i look back i wouldnt change it for anything.. i have not had to be seen by my dermo in 7 years cause my skin is still super clear and its been 7 years since ive been on accutane.. would highly reccomend it!!"


"I'm in week 4 and I'm down 8 pounds. Pros for me: Nighttime cravings and overeating are completely gone!  I'm able to stick to my Weight Watchers plan. I'm also finding I don't overeat when I go out to eat.  Huge deal for me. Also, I no longer crave diet cokes and I'm in a better mood overall.  Cons for me: First week I had mild headaches and a lot of days I still have some mild stomach discomfort.  Because of this I only take 1 pill in the a.m. and 2 in the p.m.  I find this works best for me.  Overall I'm extremely happy with this drug!!"


"Was on this for about 6 weeks, did absolutely nothing for my depression (possibly even made it worse).

The nausea was horrific, I had to start taking Ondansetron (a drug that chemotherapy patients take!) just to get through the day/night without throwing up. Tried taking it at different times and nothing worked.

I had high hopes for Vortioxetine due to the research I had done on clinical trials etc. so I'm sure it does wonders for some people however did nothing for me unfortunately.

Also important to note; it is quite pricey, and for those in Australia; it's not on the PBS so make sure you buy it at chemist warehouse (it's at its cheapest here for about $70AUD per box)"


"I've been taking this for almost 2 years now and I'd say it has helped me tremendously. I was on a few others before this and it just didn't work out."


"I started taking Elavil at the onset of my Fibromyalgia in 1997, had great sleep and was able to continue my work and study without pain.  In early 2010 I read the side effects of the medicine and recognized what was happening to me.  I had been falling for no reason, broke an ankle, lumbar vertebrate, thumb and many bruises.  I had dry mouth so bad could hardly talk, could not remember my words I wanted to say, and lost all sex drive.  I slowly removed myself off of the Elavil with the help of my doctor.  I have had lots of pain since February 2010 and cannot find a medicine to help me with my sleep and pain, but I will not use Elavil again.  I have not fallen, lost my memory or had any other side effects of this medicine since."


"At first this pill was fine. I have been on it for 8 weeks. So far have gotten break through bleeding, mood swings, now I am getting slight acne on my cheeks (I never have acne), also was experiencing vaginal burning and tenderness that has seemed to subside. I was really hoping that if I pressed through this would go away. But I'm getting married in 6 weeks! I really hoping these side effects calm down."


"Im a 32 year old working mom of 4, who has dealt with acne for 14  years...extremely long story short. TRY IT, IT WORKS! Bactrim changed my life and gave me back my confidence. I feel good in my own skin now."


"Yes, It works! However, the side effects are horrible. Light-headed and majorly dizzy, to the point where I was very uncomfortable driving.  This is the 2nd time I've used it and the same results each time.  Caused me to call out of work for a whole week until the side affect were gone."


"Learnt that I had chlamydia, went to the doctor and he gave me 2000mg of this medication. A little bit or nausea followed by a half day of diarrhea. I've had it before with the same symptoms, everything cleared up in a few days"


"I am a Marine Corps veteran ..I served in Desert Storm and in Somalia .. I was victim of an IED but survived. 2 of my buddies didn't. My left foot took the most damage and I almost lost it. I kept refusing amputation even though I was being told I would never be able to walk on it. 11 months later I was walking with the aid of crutches.. Long story short I ended up addicted to opiates. I tried over and over to kick the addiction myself with no luck .. And believe me I tried...for 14 years I tried .. I finally broke down and asked for help ... My doc gave me clonidine for my RLS symptoms and it worked wonders ... And this is coming from a person taking 240mg of oxycontin then was switched to 120 mg of opana a day. It works people ask for help"


"I am about to be on week 2 of contrave. I have cut out all caffeinated beverages and sticking to a low fat/low cal diet and I am down 6 pounds! The first day was complete torture due to the nausea, headache and vertigo but I am determined to not quit and be successful at this! I want to be able to feel as though I can do anything, go anywhere and not have my weight dictate my path in life. I am 5ft 9 and weighed 262 and again on day 7, I am at 257! Just waiting on my scale now! Good luck everyone and don't get discouraged!!"


"I got my Skyla placed in March 2015 - I'm 21 and never had kids. The insertion was terribly painful and I stayed in pain for about 3 or 4 days. I've bled/spotted for most days out of the month since I got it put in. I've gained a lot of weight with this IUD and my acne has gotten a lot worse. I went to my doctor about my bleeding and after looking at it, he said that everything was fine and there was nothing that he could do to stop the bleeding/spotting and I would have to deal with it until it went away on it's own. I would get this removed early but because of how painful it was to get it inserted, I'm terrified that it's going to hurt just as bad. As far as keeping me from getting pregnant, it's 100% effective. I wouldn't recommend."


"I am a 38 year old female with terrible insomnia for 6 years. I finally sought help to figure out what was causing it, since none of the medicines were working for me any longer. I was diagnosed with depression and prescribed 10 mg of Prozac. It has been of amazing help to me.  I now take 20 mg which is perfect.  I have suffered no side effects and am VERY sensitive to medicines.  The only thing I noticed was a very slight decrease in appetite. Prior to taking Prozac I felt like I was in a fog, I had no desire to do anything and that is hard with 2 young kids. I have decided to embrace the fact that I suffer from depression. I was also prescribed 25 mg of Seroquel for my insomnia. Life is better for me thanks to Prozac. Insomnia still work in progress."


"61 yr old male, 3rd colonoscopy, 1st time for prepopik - $40 after insurance. Followed all product instructions. 1st dose @ 6pm, 2nd dose @ 11pm for a 7am procedure. Taste is very mild & easy to swallow. For my liquids, alternated sprite, Gatorade, apple juice, and beef broth. Also alternated lemon, pineapple, and lime jello when hungry (allowable per instructions). Several hrs for 1st action, then sporadic trips as needed. Actually slept in bed from 2:30-5:00am. No cramps, nausea, dizziness, fever, huge gas explosions, or other ugly side effects (other than normal burning and raw feeling). Highly recommend moist wipes.  Color was eventually pale brown/bright yellow before leaving home @ 5:30 (never clear).  Colon photos were clean & clear."


"Diagnosed with ADHD at age 8, I have tried Strattera, Concerta, Adderall, & Ritalin (all had a zombie effect to no effect). It wasn't until mid 8th grade that I was prescribed Vyvanse. A miracle as far as my school performance, grades went from C's & D's to straight A's. Not only did I actually WANT to take it, Vyvanse compelled me to ace my schoolwork, resulting in consistent grades of 95  (the only downside being that it induced OCD behavior.) However, while I started at 40mg, I steadily increased to 70mg (max dose) by the end of 10th grade. I have since graduated high school, but due to the tolerance I built up to the medicine it no longer affects me nearly as well as it did before. Though I still recommend it to anyone with ADHD."


"I been on the Nexplanon now 6 yrs first time In 2008 then again in 2011 now on my 3rd one going on 9 yrs, the best birth control ever. No irregular bleeding, my menstrual cycle is like clock work. I know when it is coming never more then 2 days off. It's just one of the best I have had not like the shot. I'm satisfied with it."


"I'm taking contrave which contains zyban. Immediately my cravings were dramatically reduced. I was completely shocked because I've been trying to quit for 30 years without success. I'd always get the most unbearable tension headaches and give up. Finally I asked my doctor for help and she prescribed this. It's been almost a month now and I've only smoked a few times. It tastes horrible now and I'm not craving them at all now unless I get really stressed out. But when I do, I don't enjoy it anymore. I encourage you to try it. If you get side effects reduce the dosage til your body adjusts. Increase very gradually. Hope this helps! Good luck!"


"I have a pinched sciatic nerve in my lower back due to a compression fracture, and also severe nerve damage in my left arm. After being on different narcotics that didn't work, I gave up and just lived with the aching in my arm that never stopped. My Doctor put me on Lyrica, and I swear, I started crying because I had NO pain in my arm for the first time since my accident: 5 years. Lyrica has been a God send for me. It helps both my back and my arm. When my Doctor increases the dose, the side effects go away after 2 weeks. I recommend this medicine to anybody with nerve damage."


"I've been taking Belviq for 9 days now, it is amazing. I feel great and it has suppressed my appetite. It has really changed my eating behavior and the most amazing part is I haven't missed it. I'm not one for dieting but I've lost 8lbs and counting. Good luck."


"I absolutely adore Otho Evra. Less pimples. I practically glow! My breasts got bigger by a full cup.
I'm always happy my sex drive went up this is the second time I've been on it and I'm never going back! I used Nuvaring and Yaz and a couple of others that gave me yeast infections, acne, low sex drive, and ANGRY mood swings. This is perfect for a forgetful artist like me.. once a week and it works well with my body chemically. I don't know why I stopped it the first time."


"Stay away from this birth control! I used to take loestrin fe which was the perfect birth control, had little to no side effects. I had switched to blisovi due to insurance, as soon as I started taking it I felt depressed, anxious and like I was living in a bubble. I couldn't do anything because all I wanted to do was throw up all the time, I barely could eat as well. I barely lasted a week which consisted of me crying everyday due to how it made me feel and decided to switch back to loestrin and pay out of pocket. Stay away from this birth control!!!"


"Amazing birth control. Helped me lose close to 20 pounds after switching from another birth control. I'm not moody, depressed, my skin looks amazing. It doesn't cause water retention or strange strong cravings. Highly recommend it."


"I have been taking this pill for over a year. I only got on the pill because I get serious cramps. The pill gives me a lighter period on time every month and no cramps at all. BUT I have NO SEX DRIVE at all. I'm completely dry and my boyfriend is sick of it."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I was scheduled for a colonoscopy and made the mistake of reading all of these reviews and was horrified!! So I decided to concentrate on the good reviews instead but use tips of all. I was amazingly surprised to find this wasn't bad at all!!!! I'll share how I masked the taste to help others. I mixed the medicine bottle with water as instructed. (Make sure it's very cold...water and colon prep) then I poured only a fourth of it in a seperate glass and sprinkled some crystal light peach mango in and stirred. I then cut up lemon (Also a life saver). I got a big straw and drank and much as I could and then sucked on lemon. Finished all fourths in ten minutes, 2 waters afterwards is tough. This worked well for me and I would highly recommend!"


"I have been on Adipex for about three months now, I started at 264 lbs and now I am down to 240 lbs. A total of 24 lbs. I love this medication. I have tried everything and nothing has really worked. I also found out I had a thyroid problem too. I have also lost about 10 inches total. I am hoping to be down to under 200lbs by the end of summer. I will re-post updates later."


"I have been having more outbreaks (stress, depression, weight gain, PCOS), so I am on 1 gram of Valtrex a day as suppression. I started with an ulcer in my mouth and lip swelling, so I took 2 pills today and poof - almost gone. I have no side effects from the medication. I am happy there is a generic now that is much cheaper. I just hate that it is a big pill and that is the only reason I don't rate medication a 10."


"I have been taking this medication for almost 2 weeks.  I was lucky to be reffered to an endodcrinologist who prescribed it to go with Metformin, glipizide and tradjenta meds.  It's working wonders!!  My readings have gone from 300's to 115 after lunch etc.  I was also referred to a dietician so I've been keeping track of my meals and watching my carbs I've lost 7 lbs since I started the meds 2 weeks ago!  Love, love, love this med.  Can't wait to see if my A1C had dropped, at last check before I started the meds it was at 9.8%."


"I went off Enbrel due to  fungal and other bad infections. My body and brain sped up on withdrawal for a month.
My RA Dr. recommended to try  xeljanz almost 2 years later. My arthritis got worse, and I had most of the same symptoms within one and 1/2 months. I went off and I had worse side effects of speeding brain for over three months. Which included 1 month of pychiatric inpatient treatment for withdrawal. Does xeljanz stand behind their drug? Will I be compensated for the results. I hope to start working again in the next month or so. These two drugs have greatly impacted my health and working ability."


"I have used Depakote for the past 13 years now, 500 mg per day.  The only side effects were nausea and anxiety for the first day or two.  At that point, I was taking 1000 mg.  My neurologist pulled back the dosage to 750 mg and later 500 mg.  I've never had weight gain as a result of it and notice no ill effects with light drinking.  I did stop taking Depakote for about 6 months about 10 years ago and soon thereafter had a petit mal seizure.  I immediately went back on Depakote and haven't had an issue since.  Really couldn't be more satisfied with this medicine."


"I have been taking Pamelor for close to 4 years now. After a coiling procedure for an inoperable brain aneurism, I suffered constant migraines. The doctor who performed the coiling did not offer any solution, but a local neurologist in my home town prescribed it for me. It changed what was to be my new life of pain into a much more tolerable existence. A little dizziness is easy to live with. I take 50 mg every morning. Life is good again!"


"getting hard and staying hard is tough"


"My disabled brother was previously prescribed generic levothyroxine and brand name, Synthroid.  On both, he was basically in a continual state of lethargy to the point where he would fall asleep on the commode or at the dining table. Never heard of Tirosint until requesting help.  This medicine has been incredible.  No more lethargy and continuous sleeping during the day.  Family members have commented that he is more alert, engaged and seems to be happy.  They would be correct!"


"I'm writing as a dad, age 46, for my son age 14. My boy has relatively bad acne problems for 2 years and it has been worrying.. I brought him to a family doctor (General Practitioner) for advice and was prescribed with Doxycycline 100MG (1 tab every night). It has been a month now and his condition has improved quite substantially, about 70% improvement. He also washes his face more regularly, about every 3-4 hours using very quick gentle/light rinse with water on very mild facial-wash. I would definitely recommend people with acne problems to seek his/her doctor's approval for this medication. It helps."


"Nucynta has been effective for pain management..... But I have developed constipation and prolonged yeast infections."


"I've used several bipolar medications.  This has the least side effects."


"This is only what helps me."


"Hello!!! I'm a 28 year old female   Started out at 233 lb. doctor put me on Phentermine and it was the WORST--ended up in the hospital with severe dehydration and heart palpitation.  It also made me so tired I couldn't even function!!!!

Thankfully she took me off last week and started me on Contrave for my addictive personality (food and cigarettes).  Well this is day 5 and I haven't had a craving for a ciggy yet AND I'm down 8 lbs....the key is YOU HAVE TO EAT. You have to eat 5 small meals a day and drink drink drink that water!!!!!!   Incorporate exercise too.  I don't think most people are doing any of the above that's why they have no results!!! I haven't had any side effects (yet, knock on wood). But I really think this medicine is it"


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


"Fetzima, I was originally turned off by the name because of the douchey Zima drink that was the rage for a few months back in 2009.

After that I have to say this medication works FOR ME.

Everyone is different. I've tried almost everything in a psych. Hand book even cocktails of medications. I am happy to say the current 80 mg dose has been a dramatic change in my life.

Like most with bad depression and anxiety stemming from childhood it can be crippling effecting everything an everyone in your life. I'm happy to say I have turned things around on this particular cocktail of medication but I will say this the fetzima is the thing that made the difference. It's like adding mint to a mojito. Things turnedgood from the start of fetzima."


"My only complaint with this pill is that I started getting yeast infections (which I've never had problems with prior to this medication) and my mood swings are worse than usual"


"So my boyfriend and me had unprotected sex May 28, I took the pill within 30-45 minutes. My period was suppose to come May 30. I had light cramping and breast were sore. But thankfully my period started June 4! All I can say is not to stress and take it easy!
Use protection yall! Pill saved me!"


"This is my first go with birth control; I have been on the patch for 6 months and I am not that impressed. It has resolved some issues but also made some things worse. Before Xulane, I would get debilitating vomiting during my period but cramps were scarce. It was heavy and I would often get headaches. Now that I'm on Xulane, I haven't thrown up at all and headaches are scarce but cramps have been made so much worse. It's to the point where I wake up in the middle of the night because it hurts so bad and I can't just sleep it off. On top of that, I'm getting two periods - very heavy "spotting" a week before it's supposed to come and then another period the week I'm off the patch. I chose the patch because I have a hard time swallowing pills, but I think I'm going to have to reconsider this method and probably switch to pills."


"I was given Effexor XR  for depression. I had the usual side effects at first dizziness, nauseous, weird dreams and tingly. I was able to beat most of these by taking the medication at the same time every night. The down side was if I was late by a few hours taking it the dreams and tingly feeling returned bad. I was started on 75mg and that worked for a few months then the dosage was upped to 150mg. This worked for a few months as well then I hit rock bottom again and the dosage was upped again to 225mg unfortunately this only worked for a few months. A year after this I was given it again this time it only worked for a couple weeks. This was not the medicine for me."


"I weighed 245 about 2 years ago. Had tried phen-fen, and just about every type of diet imaginable!  I was 64 when I started. Im now at 165 (5'10) and, while I could lose another 15, im not because my skin is so droopy due to years of losing/gaining hundreds of pounds (note to young women--you dont want this too happen to you) and im too old to have skin surgery. Losing weight was so easy with Belviq--feel full, no cravings and just eat less."


"I suffered severely from tension headaches.  Finally I talked to my DR, he prescribed this.  Took it for the first time today, no headache but I am sleepy."


"I know what it's like to lose 30 pounds in one month from depression. No appetite, can't walk without getting tired, laying in bed all day crying & nightmares night after night. It's so annoying when psychs' won't prescribe this because of fear of addiction. Well guess what? If I hadn't have found xanax, I would have committed suicide a long time ago. You can take this medicine long term if you have severe depression and are responsible."


"I had Implanon (now Nexplanon) for 2 years before having it removed SOLELY due to the fact I was donating eggs and could not be on any form of birth control during that time. I absolutely love this form of birth control, nothing to remember to take, out of sight out of mind. I've recently gone back on it and still prefer it. As with any form of birth control, there is weight gain involved over the course of time, however, it's still a phenomenal form of birth control. I do have a slew of mental illnesses (BPD, GAD (Anxiety), Dysthymia (Chronic Depression), and SPD) and note the nexplanon did not have an effect on my mental state (though a family member did mention previously I wasn't as irritable whilst on birth control). I would recommend Nexplanon."


"Did not work well for me."


"Extreme fatigue

Pressure in my head

Headaches

Dry mouth"


"I've been on Claravis for over two months now and haven't had a major break out since the first month.  Very, very dry lips and overall dry skin, but my dermatologist recommended Cetaphil for that.  Try to stay out of the sun as it does cause your skin to burn easily.  Can't wait to finish as it does cause slight lack of energy."


"Seems to work on quietening the racing thoughts. Just a bit scary to think of the possible side-effect. Still better than the Metabolic Syndrome that is a by product of the newer medicines."


"WORST BC PILL EVER!!! First two weeks went great no side effects but third week was terrible! This pill made me super bloated and constipated. It really messed my stomach up it's so uncomfortable. Will never take this again."


"I suffer from intermittent pain in the left knee, right hip, and upper right leg. To compound my problems, I work in facility maintenance and therefore spend most of the day on my feet. The best way I can describe my experience with Meloxicam is this: At the end of the day, you know your pain is there, but somehow your brain is masked from the pain. You know you want to limp, but you actually feel no reason to. You expect the affected area to be swollen, feverish, and tight, but you still have flexibility and no major discomfort. For me, applying a cold compress for a few minutes works wonders for the rest of the evening. Also, take the medication at the same time daily."


"I took it once and it worked amazingly well.I'm 72 and my wife is 48,we love it."


"Works very well at keeping my blood pressure in check, but careful for the dizziness it can cause.  I will pop up out of my chair at work, or off the couch at home, start walking & then nearly drop to the floor because the dizziness overcomes me!  Stand up slowly!"


"Started having debilitating (not able to take my head from under the pillow and nausea/vomiting) migraines after having my daughter.  I get about 4-6 a month, most of them are menstrual migraines, but I was lucky to find imitrex soon after I started having migraines.  I used to take injectable or nasal spray, but have been on 10mg tabs for a few years now. Nothing else but Imetrex works and it works for me every time. I am not a fan of the side effects at all, which are muscle tension mostly in jaw and neck, as well as feeling drained for several hours after. I will take it over the horrible migraines any day though."


"Had a cyst like spot thing on my chin that lasted for 3 years. Would come and go, always raising its ugly head. I got this cream from my GP, used it for one month and any recurring spots have not completely gone. Its been nearly a year and clear skin! Very very happy with the results.

It does cause your skin to dry out when you use it and can be a little red but this goes down after a few days. Worth it for the end result."


"I got my first Y.I so I took moms advice and went to by monistat 7.. I gotta insert what? Where? Within 5 minutes I was so itchy.. No burning but I want to cry!!! I am currently laying with an ice pack between my legs "


"I need bi-lateral knee replacement but due to being only 50 we are trying to put it off if we can.  Had both knees injected April 24/17.  No numbing used and the injections were quite unpleasant.  I'm on day 4 and feel minimal difference in the right knee and still have dreadful pain in the left.  Unless something changes in the next couple of days I most likely will not do this again.  Have opted to get the surgery."


"mirena placed at 7 week postpartum check up.  six weeks later at mirena placement confirmation check up, strings not to be found and by ultrasound found mirena to be to low in uterus to be working effectively and an ovarian cyst noted (which I never had any problems with cysts before). Overall I like the mirena, minimal side effects. I think though that the mirena should not be placed until later in the postpartum period (past 10 weeks or so) to allow the uterus to go back to "normal" size."

"At first I had no problems with the pill. But then on the second month of the first pack I began spotting. At first it was light and then it got heavier like a normal period. This has been going on for over 2 weeks."


"I have been taking singulair for almost a year now or more. I usually don't dream , so I haven't noticed any unusual nightmares. Seriously , I can't tell if my anxiety is because of singulair or not . I am anxious by nature and this semester is really stressful and can drive anyone crazy ! I usually think about life , death , why we are here? and this kind of stuff . . DOES THIS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH SINGULAIR ? I really want to find an answer for that .I recommend singulair when you don't have any other choice , but if you have one then absolutely choose it. Sing. is bad but effective."


"Wasn't for me. It caused irritability and anxiety with no help with depression symptoms. I was on 150mg 2x/d."


"lowered both sys and dia by 15 with no side effects"


"I took Provigil along with Adderall and felt the best ever.  I was alert, not on too much Adderall so I didn't feel bad from that--Then my insurance company wouldn't cover Provigil any more, they pushed Nuvigil--it made me sleepier."


"I was hesitant to start on an antidepressant. However, while always prone to depression, the episodes had become more severe and lasted longer. I had terrible anxiety. Often even waking up in the middle of the night gasping for breath. Went on cymbalta. It took maybe 2 wks till I tentatively began to acknowledge that it might be working. Plus one evening I went downstairs to get ice for my neck (I had neck surgery last year) and realized I hadn't done that in weeks! Wasn't even taking It for pain. Ive  been on it for 3 mos now. I have experienced extreme fatigue like if I didn't have to get out of bed I could sleep for 12 hrs!  But that seems to be getting better. This drug has been subtle yet miraculous and improved my quality of life!"


"I am 46 years old 5'6 and I hate to admit it but I am 209lb.  Most I have ever weighed  in my life even when I was pregnant with twins!!
I started this about 5 days ago. I was at work and at about 2:00 I was super hyper and was talking a mile a minute.  I was acting very jittery and jumpy. It did curb my appetite.  The second day was better because I knew what to expect.  I did get a little dizzy and nauseous but nothing I couldn't handle.  My throats is extremely dry every day and I am drinking a ton of water.  I'm on day 5 and I am 201.2.  I have cut down my eating and I am eating healthy on the week days and cheating on weekends.
My Dr gave me a sample of 70 pills to start so I haven't spent any money and it seems to be woking"


"First, it's not a shot!  Second, side effects are easily controlled  (eat something with some fat content, take allergy med and baby aspirin before taking Tecfidera).  If side effect occurs (flushing) it goes away quickly  (15 mins or less).  I was on Rebif before, and changed to Tecfidera about a year ago.  Have seen no lesion activity in last few years (MRIs)."


"Has helped so much."


"Best decision I have ever made .. Previously I used to sit in my house because I was to ashamed to go out but Accutane changed my life for the better."


"I have taken 7 shots of Bydeueron and my numbers have decreased dramatically and I have lost 21lbs. I changed my diet completely, so that helped with the weight loss, but the medicine helps curb my appetite also. The medicine hurts pretty bad going in. The needle size doesn't bother me as much as the pain from the thick medicine. Lumps at each injection site also. Have had more lows since starting the injections. I take 2000 mgs of Metformin and 4mg of Glimeperide daily, so I'm going to talk to my doctor about cutting back on something. "


"This worked great for my ADHD symptoms. My family noticed an immediate improvement. I did get a little bit of weight loss, but that was good for me (38 years old). My biggest problem was that it caused erectile dysfunction and a strange lack of sensation in my prostate area, even at low dosage (18 mg/day). It was sufficient to stop use.  I am on Adderall XR now which doesn't do nearly as well.  My doctor is going to try me on some antidepressants as they also influence the norepinephrine levels.  If you don't get the erectile dysfunction then this is a great medication."


"Coming up on 1 year of Tambocor   Metoprolol for treatment of atrial fibrillation. It works very well, no attacks at all since starting Tambocor, hence my life is better in that respect. However, there is a trade off, my energy level is lower and I feel exactly the same when I get up at 7:30 in the morning; whether I go to bed at 9:00PM or stay up until after midnight. I am chronically tired. Also, I notice strange things with my peripheral vision occasionally since on the Tambocor. That's not to scare anyone off, I can still function normally, from yard work, to splitting wood, to playing golf, on the outside I doubt anyone who knows me has a clue that I am on medication. It is a "feeling" to me. I can tell I am a little "off" but it's worth it."


"I am 21 years old. I started Trinessa when I was 18 for birth control. The pill was wonderful, and I stayed on it for about 8 months or so. I stopped the pill for six months, but because my periods become irregular I started the pill again. This time I've been on it the longest probably a year and a half or 2. I think the last 6 months or so have been hell. I experienced cramping, bloating, and nausea starting on week 2 of the pill pack. Close to week 3 I have a series of migraines. The headaches were too much for me. I stopped the pills and am now on Loestrin 24 Fe. I just started week two, so I don't know how well these work. Overall Trinessa is an effective pill. I think my body just got tired of it. I hope my review helps!"


"I'm 41, using for cramps and excessive bleeding. My doc gave me 3 months of samples. First and second month, spotted for about a week, then got actual period, for a total of about 10 days bleeding, granted it was lighter, but still had some cramping. Also it all started during the third week of the pills, not the fourth. Terrible mood swings, fatigue. Now halfway through third month, terrible acne. It's like puberty all over again."


"I have been on Contrave for almost a complete month now and I love it! I started seeing pounds drop right away, going into my 3rd week and already down 11 pounds! I have been lucky enough to experience no side effects (knock on wood), and I cannot wait to keep going and see what I can accomplish. It makes you get full faster and honestly makes you turn away from junk food. I was working out 5-6 times a week with a healthy diet and still was not seeing the results I felt I should be seeing, but 3.5 weeks on Contrave and I'm back in my size 8 jeans!"


"this medicine works great I have tried so many others and this is the only one that truly worked for me."


"I used Doxycycline for several months while in Afghanistan. It seemed effective in preventing malaria, however it caused a skin rash on my face that looked like an acne outbreak. Most others I knew taking Doxycycline did not get this side effect."


"I started taking fastin the end of April 2015  it's now May 15th and I have lost 13lbs not doing anything different just taking the pill. I love it!"


"I'm only going to make a review on the insertion as I just had it done this morning. I took an extra strength Tylenol 40mins prior to the procedure. Doctor warned me that I will feel a pinch and cramping but I didn't feel a thing at all. I was so happy! I'd been scared and anxious for days!"


"I was on a steroid previously however due to the fact that I was constantly getting bacterial & viral infections and putting on a lot of weight, the doctor took me off the steroid and prescribed Imuran.  So far it is working out better than the steroid."


"Been taking Exforge 5/160 for 1 month and I can't shake this tired feeling. I'm having anxiety issues and weight lose! My pressure is coming down but I don't like this tired feeling! I'm taking the genetic brand and it cost only $4! I hope my doctor will change it next week."


"I have taken Xanax on and off for 18 years and I would say it has been a lifesaver for me. I have episodes of anxiety, nothing earth shattering, but debilitating non-the-less. Xanax has helped smooth those times over and make life manageable. This is a wonderful medicine!"


"As far as I know, Zomig is a swallowed tablet and Zomig-ZMT is the orally disintegrating tablet, with a zingy orange flavor. I didn't notice much difference but I imagine the ZMT works faster as it disperses in the mouth. With this abortive, as with many, it works best if you take it 'during onset of migraine'. This is an issue for me because sometimes at onset I'm not sure if it will actually develop into a migraine, so I don't take it and then I am in agony two hours later, even with two doses, which are not/hardly effective since I've missed onset."


"I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in January of 2016. Was on methotrexate until March of 2017 with decent improvements. Went on enbrel in March of 2017. Unbelievable results. Feel great. Thanks Amgen!!!"


"Would not recommend. My doctor put me on the patch because I had a hard time remembering to take the pill to help control my reoccurring ovarian cysts.  I am now in the hospital with severe blood clots from my belly button to just below my knee in my vein.  My leg is swollen and I am in horrible pain after 9 days in the hospital, so far. I would recommend NOT using this patch!"


"I have suffered excessive daytime sleepiness for a long time.  It was so bad that I would fall asleep at work, on the bus, in the car, etc., at least 4 times a week.  After having sleep studies done, my doctor ascertained that I do not have obstructive sleep apnea, and I do not have narcolepsy.  I work only daytime shifts.  Nuvigil (armodafinil) 150 mg tablets were prescribed by my doctor, and they have changed my life.  I have not fallen asleep at work since.  I feel capable and energetic.  I do not feel any depression, nor do I feel overwhelmed by obstacles. It is a MASSIVE change in my quality of life.
One problem: My insurance company won't cover it."


"Before you take this for sleep, particularly if you are giving it to children, please read information about withdrawal.

I was taking it for Prozac induced insomnia. Coming off Prozac was easy. Coming off phenergan is awful. It has been likened to coming off opiates.

I am on day two. I am hoping by Monday it will be out of system and I can restart my life drug free."


"I have to admit that after 25 years of marriage, a bit of the spark was wearing off.  Levitra totally re-energized our sex life. Not only does Levitra work great physically, it seems to make me grow little devil horns as well.  Thanks for a great medicine.  No wonder it's so popular."


"Been on fentanyl patches for 3+ years now. Wear 2 50mcg  patches.  Recently started on Opana er 20mg twice a day and only wearing 1 patch changed every 48 hours. Pain level has gone up slightly but also side effects from the patch have decreased which to me for now is a acceptable trade off. Breakthrough pain occurs sooner, but have not tried the higher dosage yet. Have somewhat raised expectations to come off patches by end of the year."


"I was on Abilify for just over 2 years. At first I was started at 5mg, then increased to 10mg and finally upped to 15mg.

At 15mg the psychotic symptoms vanished, and it prevented almost all manic episodes. It did nothing for my depressive symptoms though.

I also developed terrible akathisia within a few months of reaching 15mg, and they didn't stop when we briefly tried going back down to 10mg. My legs bounced up and down every minute I was awake, I rocked backwards and forwards, I paced and one of my arms even trembled too. I couldn't read, eat with a knife and fork, and strangers would give me funny looks. I had akathisia for two years.

Other than that I had no other side effects with this drug. No weight gain or tiredness."


"I have been taking this for 10 years. I originally was prescribed this for anxiety and panic attacks, which I think was a side effect of undiagnosed depression.  It works great for that.  However, it does absolutely nothing for depression for me.  I am switching to Prozac soon because this is like taking nothing for depressive symptoms. I was also on Pristiq, and I will say for me Zoloft is better simply because I don't have rage fits and mania like I do on Pristiq."


"Within the first month of taking this I experienced severe gas pains, some weight gain, and an increase in appeitite. My periods are so much lighter than they were before, but last a little longer."


"I took Ortho for just over 1 year. This is the worst thing I ever did for my severe cramps caused by endo. I don't think I will ever fully forgive myself for it. While my cramps subsided completely for 8 months (and ONLY 8 months --- then they came back in full force without any change in lifestyle or medication) the side effects were a nightmare. I developed extreme pain in my breasts to the point I was barely able to wear a sports bra and totally unable to wear a regular bra. I developed severe cystic acne which has left my face permanently scarred. My hair began to thin and small patches fell out while I suffered from crippling depression and insomnia. I would never take BC again in any form after this experience."


"I switched to Loestrin, as the pill I was on before caused me to have migraines. I've only used Loestrin for a week, but my migraines have stopped, however it's caused me to break out ridiculously. I've never suffered from spots before, but I've broken out all over my forehead and on my cheeks. "


"recently prescribed 2 antibiotics after wisdom teeth extractions and got a yeast infection so I bought this Followed directions DIRECTLY and immediately I started to fill the intense itching and burning ( as the box stated ) it also said to lie down immediately after use which I did not and noticed the intensified discomfort sneaking up on me even faster but after lying down for 10 mins and finding my comfortable position I can say that the discomfort has lessened . I'm only on day 1 ( purchased mon-7)& I can say that you may want to limit your intake of fluids so you don't have to use the bathroom as urination may increase the discomfort and pay attention to the directions because you need to LIE DOWN so the medication doesn't leak out"


"Worst experience ever! I hate it I have been taking the tri-sprintec and I can't take it anymore, the side effects are just out of control, I gained weight within the first two weeks of taking it and I don't eat a lot just regular three times; then I started breaking out horribly the first week which I have never had a problem with acne my skin has always been clear of acne. And don't let me get started with the mood swings. This has been such a horrible experience with this birth control. I know all body's are different, but I wouldn't recommend it. I'm on my third week and I'll finish the month. But after that I'm not taking it."


"Used early right after flare up, works pretty quickly"


"I haven't use the bathroom like I supposed to in the last month. I have taken Fleet and other laxatives but it just did not work. I felt so bloated and I never stopped eating. Finally I couldn't take it no more so I went the doctor and she prescribed me something to take. The medicine that she prescribed for me wasn't covered by my insurance so I went to Walmart and saw that ClearLax had almost the same ingredients. I bought me some apple juice and mixed it together. About an hour later I really used the bathroom and I feel great. If it works for me, it is some good stuff and I am serious."


"Side effects: Dry mouth, anxiety (if used when tired), euphoria, hyperfocus (when dose too high)

Adderall allows me to concentrate and study for a reasonable amount of time while also offering flexibility on when I use it; both XR and short-release are quick in-and-out drugs, unlike SSRIs. My performance improved dramatically with use of Adderall, but there were definitely a few cons.

Hyperfocus is a huge problem that alluded me for a few months. Because Adderall affects the brain, it distorts the user's reality. I felt that I was getting a lot done, and it wasn't until my colleagues at work told me that I was garbage at multitasking that I realized my dose was too high. Beware of this. Focus =/= productivity"


"I started taking Belviq September 12th 2016 I weigh in at 332 pounds I weighed in today September 28 2016, 318 pounds just could not believe it gave me, slight headaches but I notice I cannot take 2 a day can only do one very strong to me if I, take two in one day i, dizzy comes along plus I, workout as well and thirsty for water my appetite is really decreased a lot I,give this pill thumbs up my doctor preferred me and encourage me to take them I don't like taking medications but he said this will be just right for you so far so good. And my insurance didn't cover it so I only paid $75 out of pocket."


"I have had liletta for almost three months now.  I really like it.  Insertion was painful, be sure to take ibuprofen prior to.  I think I have had a couple periods since, but nothing note worthy, they are short.  There has been some seemingly random cramping that I went back to the Dr. To check out, but everything is fine, I'm well on my way to no periods, period!  I will say, I have been breaking out, and that's unusual for me.  I had a group of pimples that didn't go away for a long time."


"I was prescribed this drug recently by my Dr. for treating my High Blood Pressure.  In Reducing BP it was wonderful and I went from a BP of 143/105 to 95/71 using one of the lowest doses of this drug (5mg). However, I felt dizzy and faint and feeling like I was going to pass out and was afraid to take a second dose. I was sweating so much, even in my sleep. And that night I woke up sweating and with dry mouth and a strange cough was beginning to appear in my lungs.  I knew all this dehydation could not be good for my recently diagnoses CKD and so I stopped using it immediately. Within a few days I felt back to my normal self. Still I don't know the extent of internal damage caused by using it just once. I have decided to reduce my BP through"


"I don't know what the fuss is about with the taste or smell.  I didn't even use the lemon flavor packet that it came with because it contains saccharin, and I hate the after-taste. I didn't refrigerate it.  I drank it room temperature with no flavoring, but I did use a straw.  It was not bad at all.  It tasted like funny-tasting water that was a little salty. I drank it through the straw really fast, and I had a butterscotch hard candy after each glassful.  The reason I didn't drink it cold was because it goes down easier at room temperature."


"Works well, can manage most foods without any problems.  Note that this medicine does promote food moving through one's "system" more quickly so frequent bowel movements and loose stool may be an issue for some."


"Basically I had sex with my boyfriend and we didn't use a condom. We never did finish but still I was scared precum could get me pregnant so I went out 3 hours after and got the pill. I now just had sex again unprotected and my boyfriend didn't pee since his last ejaculation. So I got scared again but this was within of a minute of sex and we stopped because he realized it. We went out to the store 12-13 hours later and bought it. Waiting on results. I start my period in 18 days. Pray for me."


"I was put on Leostrin 24 FE to help regulate my period but to also control the bleeding. I was put on this a year ago, and it worked great, then 7 months ago, I would and would not get my period. I talked to my doctor about the problem she said it was normal. I recently started getting my period twice a month."


"I was 24 this was my first birth control.My weight initially fluctuate from 115lb to 120 but never more. On this birth control for 1 year i had notice increase in appetite.Breast size increase from a Small B been like that forever to a full C.Weight increased to 145lb In 1 year.Skin was slightly clearer but has occasional breakout on chin meaning hormonal imbalance.Asked my NP to switch me to a lower hormone BCP because of weight gain she says it's might be my diet that has to change but I insisted. She change me to nuva ring. Tried it for 6 months convinent but gained more weight up to 151lb. I'm getting off these hormone birth control they are increasing my appetite. Unmotivational mood

I'm changing to Paraguard IUD no hormone."


"I was a pack a day smoker for over 30 years and have tried to quit several times. The cravings were just too much to get over.  I had finally gotten to the point where I thought smoking was such a disgusting and expensive habit ...I just wish I could quit! My doctor prescribed Chantix for me one day and I let the prescription sit on my desk at home for 2 weeks before I started taking it.  I figured it wouldn't help but considering I spent $200 for it, I thought I would at least try it.  By the 3rd day, I hardly had any cravings at all. I even tried to smoke a cigarette but snuffed it out. It just didn't taste the same! I have had NO side effects except some crazy dreams....but honestly, I kinda like it!  Love this medicine!"


"Gave me constipation and bloating - worse than the problem it was supposed to treat."


"My mother passed away and I was having a hard time dealing with it especially at night. This medicine really helps me stay calm and actually sleep again."


"I thought it was working until I developed severe stomach cramps that wouldn't go away. Got scoped and discovered I had fairly severe damage to the esophagus which had reduced the efficiency of swallowing down to 10%. Don't assume the medication is working unless you get checked. They switched me to omeprazole. "


"I've been on medication since 18 yrs old and this is by far the best than I've taken.

And it really works!! The side effects are unconfortable however in the beginning. But once they are gome I feeled good. I've started with 75mg was not enough. Once I was on 150mg the magic operates.And now I have been on 225mg for about 6 months. So far so good. I recommend it.

Best thing that happened to me in a while."


"great experience!!!!!! treks three different BC pills two years prior and those were awful - all the side effects. Now I'm in nexplanon.  Implantation: Hurts A bit, but not too bad. bruising was ugly and lasted longer than I expected but it didn't hurt.

Side effects/experience: at first nothing happened, you get it when you're on your period so no change. After a few weeks I would get light bleeding (like the last day of period). This was most days for about a month and a half. It was hard to deal with but okay. Now I get a light period for two days once a month. Never worry about pregnancy... Everyone reacts differently but it's been incredible for me! Good luck!"


"So my doctor prescribed me this medication to help with my irregular & heavy cycles that normally last up to 7 days & would skip months some times. I had a cycle earlier this month and when I went to visit the obgyn about my issues he gave me a pap while my cycle was in the process of going off. He instructed me to start my pills that following Sunday & every since I started I have been bleeding in between lasting up to 3 to 4 days is this normal? Do I have to continue taking the pills for awhile in order for it to work as it should & give me a normal cycle? I'm now having my 3rd mini cycle this month since I been taking these pills & I'm about fed up that I'm bleeding this much I have one row of pills left in this pack Hopefully it work soon"


"I have not been able to stay awake for more than a few hours at a time and so depressed that I couldn't go out in public But since I have been taking Effexor I am 100% better. I am a new person. I want to get out and do things and I sense of well being. I love this feeling!! its like a new me. I am better than ever."


"This is the third time I had asthmatic bronchitis and using Levaquin. First time I had been given Biaxin which not only didn't work but I almost had to be hospitalized. Then prescribed Levaquin and by the fifth day felt 100% better. Side effects get less with each day.(Mine are stomach upset and drowsiness) But without this medicine I would need oxygen. Thanks there are better options."


"I went to have the Mirena IUD removed 1 1/2 years after placement and my ob/gyn couldn't find it to remove it. I have had an ultrasound that turned up nothing and now need an abdominal xray to see if it can be located that way. My insurance won't cover any of it until my deductible is met,  so I have to come up with $1000 just to find out, and if they find it, I'll need surgery. This "migration and spontaneous expulsion" are more common than the company says. "


"I suffered a stroke 4/15/2012 I started having a gradual increase of anxiety to the point I could not stand it. My doc put me on Buspar 15mg starting out then up to 30mg all was great until the random suicide thoughts started I also take Celexa 40mg before the Buspar with no issues. So I contacted my doctor who has taken me off of it."


"I began taking this pill in August 2015. I have since gained 15 pounds that I can not get rid of and for the past two months, I've had two periods a month. Needless to say, I called my doctor and asked to change. This pill was the worst I've ever taken."


" Ever since I started taking this birth control, I noticed a complete shift in myself. I have been soooooo depressed and my mood swings are so out of control. Before I started this birth control, I was a very happy and out going person and now I'm so depressed and emotionally about everything.  My appetite is either extremely hungry are not hungry at all. There will be days where I just keep getting hungry and other days where I'm  hunger maybe once a day and that's all. I'm always naueseous when I do eat and my cramps feel just the same as before. Beware and do your research before taking this!!"


"Was put on this after I went to the psych ward for suicidal thoughts and general depression.  Before this I was on Prozac for 3 weeks, stopped taking it due to increased anxiety and extreme binge eating that I never had before. After that my doc switched me to 20 mg Celexa. Took that on and off for over a year... it helped slightly with anxiety but quickly became as effective as taking sugar pills. I started on the generic SR, 2 a day and with that I had slight ringing in the ears, some random panicky feelings. But my mood had improved tremendously, plus my sex drive went way up after just 1 day! My appetite control is great. On 300 mg XL generic now and side effects are subsiding. Had worries about seizures but that's rare. 0.3% incidence."


"I've taken this pill for five years and I've never had any problems with it. My periods are super light and predictable. I was always skinny so if this pill helped me gain weight, it was a good thing. Now that I'm older (26), I've got some stubborn belly fat but I think that's just due to my metabolism slowing down and that I haven't always eaten the healthiest, especially not while in college. This pill did increased my bust size. I know so because when I was off this pill, they were less full. My emotional state never changed. I really never think about the fact that I'm on this pill except when it's time to take it. Symptoms happen differently for everyone. Just gotta see what works!"


"When nervous or uncomfortable just pop a Xanax and I become as cool as a cucumber. I have a friend who can't even go more then 5 miles from her house without getting a panic attack. She takes a Xanax and she is willing to hop on flights to Las Vegas."


"A visit to the doctor resulted in a chest X-ray and blood test which confirmed an inflammation of the lungs and bacterial infection. I was given a 3-day dosage of Azithromycin for the inflammation and warned it can cause diarrhea. I was also prescribed an inhaler as a lung test showed 25% restriction.

First day no side effects except for heavy drowsiness. Second day could already feel the symptoms reducing. Second day, 20 minutes after taking the meds, I got strong stomach pains (felt in the colon area not stomach) followed by heavy drowsiness. Third day I made sure to eat before the pill, which minimized the stomach pain but I got one bout of diarrhea in the evening.

Day 5' symptoms have improved although I still have a runny nose and cough."


"I have had the mirena  in since April 2015 and been in pain since it was put in and worse for the last 4 months.  Finally got around to having an ultrasound only to find out it has broken and now penetrated the linning of my uterus. There is a 2 week wait at the hospital and thats just for the referral to be looked at. Also because of the irregular periods i now have polycystic ovaries. All of this will effect how i raise my son for the next few months as he has quadriplegic cerebral palsy so lifting him and attending to him daily will be effected. Do not get this form of contraception if you havent explored all the other possibilities."


"I am 26, female and have been on Pristiq for a little over 18 months. It worked fantastic for the first year, my anxiety and depression was under control for the first time ever. For the last few months though I have noticed a lot more side effects, I have gained weight and although my sex drive hasn't dropped I find it very hard to reach orgasm. Also if I miss one day I have really bad withdrawals - migraine headaches, nausea, dizzy spells and out of control emotions. I think Pristiq is great for short term use but I'm not convinced its good as a long term option."


"My prolaction levels are down now from 35000 to 330, my headache is going away day after day and also I have lost some weight. Also my sex drive is fabulous no joke from once every month before it into 40 times weekly. I feel normal again so I love it."


"I was hit by a couple major life events that caused me lose sleep one night. Because of that and a few major events that had happened, I developed a fear of never being able to sleep again ( sleep anxiety).

With a recommendation from my mother in-law, for Trazodone I headed to my DR.

I am glad i did. I have ZERO side effects from it, while is doesnt exactly make me sleepy or any feeling for that matter, what it does do is combat the problem of why I can't sleep, which was anxiety and panic. Been on it for 3 nights so far and been getting 5-6 hours. Huge improvement from 2-3. And i feel it will be very easy for me to let this go when the time comes because I feel no addiction whatsoever. I just feel "normal" at bed time now. Great!"


"Lifesaver was having very bad panic attacks tight chest pounding heart sweaty palms dizziness, was even 5mg tabs cut one half because was very nervous of taking any medication at all, with in 20 min all symptoms have gone, tablets made slightly sleepy for first hour of taking them,was told to use them only when a really had to three days on still feeling good no need to take any yet fingers crossed :)"


"I am 27 and have been diagnosed with neuropathy in my thighs and feet, fibromyalgia, herniated discs, sciatica, sacroilitis and carpel tunnel. I had brittle bone disease as a child and was in 2 severe car accidents. I have been in chronic pain since I was about 18 and am undergoing nerve blocks and radiofrequency neurotomys for the nerve damage in my back.  My doctor put me on Lyrica and Wednesday was my first dose 75mg x2 per day and Percocet 5mg. I feel like a brand new person. I have tons of energy and my work and family have noticed a huge difference already. Whoever made Lyrica I just have to say they have changed my life so much in just a few days."


"My 11 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD since kindergarten.  That is usually when parents can start to confirm their suspicions of their child's behavior with the observation of an outside party such as a teacher.  We started with the usual, very mild Strattera...to no avail.  We didn't really know what we were looking for.  We were so very sad and scared that he would become a 'zombie' as most people describe it.  Nothing worked from Strattera, Concerta (gave him tics), Clonidine (high blood pressure medicine that supposedly works for ADHD), etc. DAYTRANA 40mg has been the miracle drug for our little boy.  He has been on it for about 1 1/2 years now.  He can sit and do homework, crossword puzzles, and word finds! Absolutely love it, no more mean Morgan!"


"I was prescribed Cimetidine (Tagamet) after all other treatments for my Plantar Warts had failed.  Within 3 weeks of its use, the warts began to lessen in size, and were progressively becoming smaller.  By the end of the 4th week, the warts had come out in a plug-like fashion.  I was also taking a high quality Multi-Vitamin as recommended by my Cosmetic Surgeon.  These pills were the greatest blessing I could ever ask for.  As soon as I started taking them, the pain from the warts was slowly alleviated as well.  I would recommend this treatment to anyone who has plantar warts.  I'm 23 years old and probably in average health."


"Third week on Trulicity and I feel great. Nausea is gone. Only lasted maybe four days from the first injection.  Testing my blood sugar and this morning it was at 85 down from the 150-160s I was used to seeing. Anxious to see what my A1C will be in April. Have also lost some weight. Do occasionally get heart burn. Trulicity makes me watch closer to what I'm actually eating and not just eating like I was before."


"I am now in my third month of using Minastrin 24 Fe, the first time I've been on the pill in four years. Aside from a random day in the first month that I was extremely emotional and two weeks out of month two when I spotted constantly, I haven't had any other noticeable side effects. My weight has been constant and my mood the same. I don't have any real complaints other than the adjustment period being pretty awful."


"The only thing that diminished an unbearable and painful cough"


"Got a painful period 3 days after lasted for a week, almost all blood clots.. The day before I got it put in my arm I was 178 pounds now 13 months later I'm 232 pounds with no change in food intake or what I eat or how much I excersise. No periods anymore though just PAINFUL cramps. Every single morning and night I will cry because of the pain I've had ultra sounds and NOTHING!! I'm now so so moody and lash out on everyone. I am hoping to get this out so fast. Only good part is not having to remember if if I took the pill or not because it's in my arm"


"Used it today for a work presentation and it worked. At some point later in the day I had to hold back the tears thinking about how my life would have been different had I known about this medicine. I'm 42 years old and wish I knew about this 20 years ago."


"I have been taking Ultram for three months now for a compressed lumbar disc. I have had no problems with it like I did with narcotic pain relievers (serious withdrawals when I did not need the medicine for pain).

It does cause some drowsiness and once made me feel nauseated, but all-in-all I like this medication much more than any codeine-based pain-killer."


"Oh my goodness. I have taken Benadryl every night for thirty years or longer. This is much better. I sleep like a baby and feel rested in the morning for the first time in decades. I love Unisom and won't go back to Benadryl. The prescriptions like Lynsey's or Ambien made me hallucinate and feel pretty bad in the morning so I never continued them. Unisom has been awesome! Highly recommend it."


"Implanon is amazing. I've been struggling for over five years with hormonal birth control pills. They caused me to gain weight, go in and out of depression, have horrible mood swings, acne, everything that could go wrong did. I was so sick of trying different pills (Yaz, Progestin, Microgestin Fe 1/20..) I wanted something non hormonal. I've had Implanon for nearly 4 months now and the only side effect is that I'll have random periods sometimes, but that might be my body trying to adjust. Otherwise, no mood swings, I've lost 16 pounds, no horrible periods, nothing."


"I suffer from generalized anxiety disorder, so Xanax has served as my "safety net" in times of distress. When taken as prescribed, those of us who need it simply feel like life is bearable again. Those nagging irrational thought patterns and worries are silenced.

However, Xanax is not a medicine to be taken lightly (hence the bad reputation it's received). It's short half-life causes cravings to re-dose (vs Klonopin, which never gives me those feelings). Use in moderation, and make an effort to see a cognitive-behavioral therapist if you haven't done so."


"I have had the implant for 4 years now and the only problem I've been having is headaches when my period is about to come on. Also when my period comes on it lastest about 2 weeks but mainly just spotting. Other than that I'm ok with it as long as I'm not popping anymore kids out since I have 2 now(boy&girl) :)"


"I will never travel without this again. I have severe allergies and nasal congestion. I often get sick overseas. Right now, I have so much nasal congestion and this gets it out so I can breathe through my nose for a while. I have to do it again in a few hours but I think it's worth it because I don't have to take a corticosteroid."


"I have been on carbamazepine for 17 years and find it keeps my mood stabilized and works best as an anti-manic.  It is not much help with depression.  I had tried Lithium, Depakote, and a few of the atypical antipsychotics prior to carbamazepine and the thing I loved about this drug is I did not gain weight on it, in fact after coming off Depakote and on to this I lost 40 pounds.  So for me it is weight neutral.  I have heard others say otherwise...some gained, some lost, some stayed the same.  My serum sodium does run slightly low, and I am sometimes tired, but that is the mainstay with psychiatric drugs.  The initial breaking in phase was rough, about 3 months to adjust to the medication, but with the weight loss after Depakote..."


"Lithium works. No one knows why which is odd, but it gave me my life back with no side effects. Love it."


"I was switched to this from Loryna (generic Yaz) two months ago. I've been on some form of BC since age 19 to control horrible cramps and prevent ovarian cysts, and I'm 27 now. Hoped this pill would lessen the ovarian tenderness and stop the weight gain (40 lbs in one year!) I had while on Loryna. Well, I'm horribly gassy and have had diarrhea every day for going on three weeks now of my 2nd pack. It's clearing up my acne and sex drive is better by a smidge, but my period is a lot longer and heavier, rather than shorter and lighter like it was on Loryna. Cramps are much worse, too, and I feel tired all the time. The crazy appetite increase Loryna gave me hasn't changed, either. Calling my gyno today to see if I can switch."


"After reading a large number of shocking reviews from people talking Dulcolax, I went to sleep extremely nervous after taking 1 pill at 11pm. I drunk a 500ml bottle of water immediately after taking the tablet. I did not wake once in the night, and finally woke at around half 7am where I experienced some mild cramping. This was expected after reading reviews however in my head I was preparing for the worst to come, but it never did. 15 minutes of cramping passed, I made my way to the bathroom where a normal bowel motion occurred, and now I feel much better with no lasting side effects. Overall, a good product however I strongly recommend drinking water after taking Dulcolax."


"These pills are amazing. Nothing has ever worked the way they do on my back. I have had 3 surgeries and I will always be in pain but with these I can at least function and thats all I can ask for."


"WOW. Talk about an explosion from your butt. Constant sprints to the bathroom, but gets the job done. Explosion on explosion. Currently on the pot and can't get off. Be prepared."


"I've been using for two months and the results have been amazing. My skin is clearer and brighter than it has been for years. I use Fincea every morning and Soolantra every night. After the first massive die off and resulting flare up after two weeks it has been smooth sailing."


"I'm 22, one child. I got the IUD inserted I wanna say about 3 months ago. The surgery was just a quick pinch that gave u normal menstrual cramps during/ afterwards. Something any female can get over. I suffer from the wonderful thing of BV and that first month or so I was BV free prior to insertion, had a regular period with same symptoms but actually ended earlier and got slightly lighter. After my first period I didn't spot or anything. Had nipple soreness, oily skin, acne, headaches that next month thought I was pregnant but ended up having a late period I've been bleeding every since(about a full month) and now I'm just waiting for another full period to come. Trying to wait out first 6 months before I decide to get it removed"


"Update : I have been on Contrave  for a little over two months. All of my weight loss happened at the beginning. I have lost 18 pounds total. However, nothing in the past 30 days. I am on 4 pills a day. No side effects other then constipation. OTC meds will help with that. I am a smoker & contrave has done more for smoking I think. I could careless if I had a cigarette or not. That is amazing.  It is not a mircle worker for food cravings. At 4 pills a day I can still eat chocolate / icecream like there is no tomorrow. I feel that my cravings for carbs have gone through the roof.  I was a recreational drinker, now have 0 desire to even take one sip. I suppose there are ups and downs for everyone. It works if you work it."


"Works well "


"It worked great for my pneumonia but it caused my heart rate to go up, chest pain and anxiety. I would ask for a different one if you have heart issues or tachycardia."


"Read the reviews, was all worried about the flavor, but after mixing it realized it wasn't all that bad. Drank it up and drank 2 things of water behind it in just a couple of minutes. Within 5 minutes my belly started talking. Not as bad as people make it out to be. Wouldn't buy a six pack, but I've had worse."


"I am the first one in the State of New Jersey to take this new medicine. Been on for some time now and I think it's working out for me. It's been a long hard road to find medicines that work. Hope it keeps on doing it's job."


"I did my first shot 10 days ago, side effects were the worst I've ever experienced on a medicine....extreme nausea, headache, vomiting and the diarrhea was extreme and very bad smelling with bad smelling sulfur like burps. I thought maybe I caught a bug, but after reading others side effects I'm sure it was the shot. My husband is totally against me taking it again and I'm now agreeing with him. Yeah my sugars went down because I couldn't eat for almost 9 days and nausea medicine didn't help at all. You lose weight because you can't eat. I was really hoping this would help because I don't want to go on insulin. I finally took something for the diarrhea and am feeling almost normal again."


"Have been on Prozac since it came out many years ago. I had severe panic disorder with anxiety attacks. I was also agoraphobic. Since being in Prozac I was able to return to work, go to college. Now that I am retired I am able to travel to different states."


"I have taken this medication a handful of times but after the last dose have decided to stop use and ask doctor for different medication. I suffer from severe neck, shoulder and lower back pain. The medication does nothing to actually get rid of the pain what it does is knock you out. When I finally did manage to make myself get up the next day I was groggy which did not wear off till close to bed time. I have had the same affect every time using this medication but was smart enough to try it on a weekend. I takes at least 24 hours to feel right again. Not looking for a knock out drug I want something to help with the pain and allow me to function. Definitely not the right drug for me. Diclofenac wil help with muscle relaxing just not pain."


"I found zyprexa to be quite effective however it made me very tired and unmotivated though. I was incredibly hungry all day. Only stayed on it for about a month and put on 7lbs. I am in the process of exploring different antipsychotics that are more weight friendly. Putting on weight was making me depressed and making me become more hostile because of it"


"I am a 48 male in average shape however i do smoke alot and was having trouble maintaining an erection  spoke with my Dr and he gave a me sample pack of the 36 hour Cialis  took the first pill wednesday night and was good to go for the next 2 days took the 2nd pill Friday night I was having sex multiple times through Sun night.   the feeling of being ready and able to spontaneously perform multiple times over the course of several days was awesome The down side I did incurr the side effects of runny and stuffy nose as well as moderate head and muscle ache was not enough to discourage further useage my girlfriend who is 36 btw was very impressed it felt good to be young again.  I have a rx of Levitra but have yet to try it"


"Toviaz really helped control bladder but I, personally, experienced extreme dry throat and mouth constantly to the point of dehydration and was always freezing cold which is very unusual for me. I drank tons of water and unsweet tea, neither helped. Finally I gave up taking it and my hydration returned to normal. I think I will go back to my oxybutynin until I see my MD for a different med."


"35 year history here of familial high cholesterol. Participated in medical studies many of these years-first for new statins, then other drugs. Lowest my overall cholesterol went was 259, that with max dose of Crestor and Zetia combined. Took that before and after triple bypass and stent on the 4th artery. Eventually all statins cause too much muscoskeletal pain for me but had to keep taking them. Up next was clinical studies for Praluent. Never knew for sure that I was on it. Today, 1 year after it was officially on the market, my cholesterol was 149!!!! Lowest in 34 years, from a high of 600! I will take any mild side effects!! I also get help with copay from PAN and worry their help will run out. Thank you God!!"


"Ultram helped me quite a bit but after several months of use I developed an allergy causing hives."

"I used Androgel for many years until my insurance company upped the deductible to $250 for 3 months.  Testim is so sticky and doesn't dry quickly like Androgel.  I'm on the maximum dosage of each, and my T count dropped from 900 to 700 after switching over.

I highly recommend Androgel - it works great!"


"I'm 45 years old and have always felt like I was in good health.  Non-smoker and have never had a weight problem.  However, blood tests from the last few years have revealed that I have a problem with high cholesterol and triglycerides.  Eight weeks ago, when my triglyceride number was a shocking 583 and LDL over 200, my doctor insisted that I needed some help to bring these numbers into a healthy range.  Reluctantly, I agreed.  I was prescribed 20mg of Crestor daily at bedtime.  It scared me to death to read reviews on Crestor and statin drugs in general and I almost didn't even give it a chance but also committed to making some changes in lifestyle.  For example, I started skipping most of the sweet, fatty foods and actually paying attention to serving sizes and TRYING to stick closer to recommended allowances.  I have also been going on brisk, half-hour walks at least 5 days a week.  Nothing tremendously difficult but something that has required consistency.  After eight weeks of using Crestor and living a little differently, I am happy to report that my Triglycerides are now down to a mere 67 and my LDL level is down to 57.  I’ve also lost 15lbs and I wasn’t overweight to begin with.  I expected the numbers to show improvement but I was shocked to see them this good!  What's more is that I have not noticed any of the negative side effects mentioned by so many.  Trust me, I was looking out for those for any excuse to stop taking it.  I will mention a positive side effect I was not expecting.  I've been burdened with IBS (irritable Bowel Syndrome) for many years.  I've just lived with it and been careful about how long I might be away from a bathroom.  Interestingly enough, since I have been on Crestor, I have been much more regular and, well, solid.  Maybe that is TMI but I have appreciated the change.

People seem to be more motivated to write a review about anything if they are displeased.  I'm taking a different approach, my experience with Crestor, so far, has been very good and I am very excited about the results."


"Yes it made my skin flake.  But underneath was the most beautiful healthy skin!!!"


"I've been on the patch for about 4 months now and I can honestly say that I love it. This is my first time being on BC and I did a lot of research before picking one out. The first 3 months I experienced some of the side effects: headaches, nausea, sore breast, emotional as hell. But all that stopped in the 3rd month. I still get a little emotional but that's just regular pms'ing. Do not buy the generic brand. It sucks ass. It doesn't stick as well as the name brand so I spend the $5 to get it. My skin gets a little irritated around the patch but I have seriously dry skin so that can play a factor. Overall I'm loving it! My bf can relax a little because he doesn't have to worry about condoms anymore because this is more cost efficient."


"I have tried: Toporol XL, Coreg & Diovan all of these controlled my Blood pressure. But all had more side effects
than I thought was reasonable. When I started Micardis
I had some dizziness the first week. I now feel the best
I have felt since starting blood pressure medication. My
pressure is now 125-130/70-80."


"I suffered frequent and prolonged  cramps in my legs for anything  from two/four times weekly at night, waking me from a sound sleep."


"I went to the store looking for Visine A, which works perfectly.  They didn't have it.  But they had Visine Totality so I got it, since I prefer Visine to the others and still do...but this stuff was potent.  A tingling sensation is okay and sometimes expected.  But these things burn."


"I inserted the Monistat one about an hour ago and have been in tears with pain and burning in my doctor doesn't know what to do.  I had symptoms of a yeast infection for about 2 weeks and finally went to the store and spent $20 on this stupid thing now I don't know what to do I filled the bath with hot water and that didn't help. I can't believe this I'm in so much pain the itching and burning was never this bad originally!!!!!!"


"I was on Jardiance for about 6 months, a month into taking it my hair started falling out. I'm not talking about just a little either,  normally I have very thick long hair. But whenever I brushed my hair the brush was full of hair, it was all over my clothes. By the time I got my doctor convinced it had only started doing that after taking Jardiance my hair was so thin you could see my scalp. The doctor was convinced when I showed him the bag of hair that I had lost.  Now it's in my records for me not to take this medicine, my hair is growing back but it's going to be a while yet before it's back to the way it was before Jardiance"


"Ok, to begin with: Vyvanse has dramatically improved my life. I am a 20 year old college student and I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 19. I have always been a bright student, cheerful person and an overall hard worker but Vyvanse has "improved" me. I feel that it allows me to monitor and control my thoughts and actions in a way I never seemed to be able to before. Effects I experience from Vyvanse: Improved concentration, ability to focus clearly on a subject or task at hand, ability to switch focus and not "obsess", improvements in grades, & ability to plan/schedule/prioritize activities. In the end I feel like Vyvanse has made the dream me reality, I can finally accomplish my goals."


"I have been suffering on and off for the last 7 years with IBS... Drs., Hospitals,ultra sounds, copious quantities of ANY laxative, stool softeners, etc. once my upper intestines are backed up under my rib cage NOTHING works and I start packing on the lbs. then I tried Linzess. It adds moisture to the upper intestine which when I took it monday I was 175, I went to the bathroom about 6 ish times after about 5 hrs. by tuesday I was down to 165 completely cleaned out! I also took full responsibility not to eat ANYTHING that would irritate my tummy. I took linzess the next 3 days but nothing happened. I believe it is for the upper intestine area and because mine is 100% better I dont need it. Thank goodness I now have a weapon against IBS"


"I'm 30 years, have been suffering from depression on and off for years. This year, I came down with a hard case of Seasonal Affective Disorder, which rendered me a useless ball of fear every day from the afternoon onward and eventually led to other problems (digestion, neurological, and otherwise).
My doctor prescribed 10mg escilatopram. Goodness, I wasn't expecting much, but I feel absolutely fantastic now. I'm happy and can focus on daily activities, even in the dark winter evenings.
Also, I've been on it for almost 2 months now, and I haven't noticed any side effects! No digestive or sexual problems which seem to be not-so-rarely reported."


"I have been taking this for years and it really keeps me from having anxiety attacks and helps the bipolar somewhat. "


"Cardiologist put me on this because I had muscle cramping and pain on Crestor and other statins. Took very low dose once a week. Tolerated it well for about 2 months than started having muscle cramping in my leg so severe that I was completely unable to sleep. Have not had cholesterol levels checked, but I will have to stop taking this."


"For 8 years I have consumed on average 90-120 drinks per week (i.e. a drink bring a beer or glass of wine or 1.5 ounces hard liquor).  Within 6 weeks on Naltrexone, the number dropped to 60.  After 3 months, it is at 30 drinks per week.  Next target is 15 drinks, the "safe" normal limit.  Then onto nothing.  It works.  Don't cheat...take it 1 hour before drinking and see a psychologist specialized in addiction too.  Naltrexone is not a silver bullet, but is part of the arsenal to combat alcohol dependency."


"I had taken Tramadol in conjunction with off label use of Neurontin for bulging discs and a horrid backache, the worst of 20 years. After about 4 days, I felt great. Then about 1 month into therapy, I drank a beer and had a seizure about 1 1/2 hours later. It caused me to go into respiratory arrest. My doctor never cautioned me about drinking ONE beer, despite the fact that I'd told him I did drink. His lack of foresight caused a situation in which I nearly died. As a result of the seizure, which occurred while I was standing, my L4 was shattered and I was left with nerve being compressed by bone. It has caused me permanent nerve damage and a limp. "


"I got mine in February the first 3 months were just like my regular period I bleed for 7 instead of 5, now it's July 30,2015 and I've been bleeding since June 24,2015im miserable I can't go to the pool or the beach, or enjoy simple thing with out having to worry about staining my clothes or wearing a pad, it's very frustrating I'm going to talk to my doctor about taking it out"


"after two days of severe pain and visit to doctor, blood work and x-ray came up with problem. never had any type of gout/arthritis related problem before. crystals were found on my wrist. after two days of taking colcrys, Wrist is still stiff and hurting but pain is bearable."


"I got my implant last month on the 1st. So, far it's been alright. I have noticed I've been getting headaches more often and my skin has the occasional breakout. This could all be due to the fact that I just started college though. Despite the claims regarding lowered sex drive, I've actually experienced a slight increase in my sex drive. I haven't experienced any weight gain or loss, and my stress level actually seems reduced. I have been having nightmares/vivid dreams  since my implant, they began about a week after insertion. I'm not quite sure if that's what is causing them though. I've always had irregular periods before the implant, and I just began spotting today, a month after insertion. So, I'll have to wait and see."


"Caused quite severe gastro intestinal issues for me"


"OK here goes. Never written a review about this stuff. I have been on Zyprexa for 20 years and still taking it. I'm 65 years old, and have had Tourette's my whole life (as you all have). Zyprexa has given me more relief than any drug I have ever tried, and I've tried them all to include the Horrible Haldol.

I have 2 sons in their 40's and never any sign of Tourette's. I've just had my first grandchild, so I willl pay close attention to him. There has been a price to pay. In the 20 years I've taken Zyprexa I've gained 45 pounds. I don't like it much either, but never seriously tried to lose the weight if it is even possible. In the past couple of years, I've developed Type II diabetes or I should say "pre-diabetic"."


"This has helped me."


"I've used the generic 7-day with success. Wish I hadn't decided to try Monistat 3-day cream. I am burning inside and it's worse than the infection itself. Will be going back to 7-day after I douche. This stuff is awful and should be taken off the market. I feel like I inserted battery acid instead of medicine in my vagina. Will not be completing the 3-day treatment nor will I ever buy another Monistat product again."


"My miracle drug.  Been taking for about a year now.  I finally have a life."


"Typically get 8-10 migraines per year.  Many hormonal, with severe nausea and vomiting. Medication is a life saver."


"Did not work at all - my appetite increased instead! Waste of money about $80.00 x a Month supply.. Very dissapointed"


"I have suffered from lupus for 4 years now. I started Benlysta a little over a year ago and what a difference. I could barely walk or get out of bed before treatments. My feet and knees would swell with no relief. Since I started Benylsta I am getting my life back on track, I can now walk, run and exercise regularly. I have had few severe flares. I would recommend this drug to anyone. It is expensive I started out in a trial then I was lucky enough to get a grant that now pays for my treatments."


"Very effective for pain after my back surgery."


"It helped me control every aspect of my ADD. The only drawback is the short life of the medicine in your system before the half life begins."


"I'm 25, I was put on this pill 8 months ago because I've been breastfeeding. Since starting the pill I've gotten horrible acne, I'm bloated and gassy all day, every day, I'm extremely moody, my period is typically every 14 days with the occasional 5-7 week break (very rare though) and very heavy with horrible cramps, and I've gained 14 lbs; I was losing lots of my baby weight until I started this pill, since I've started this pill it doesn't matter how much diet and exercise I do, I can't lose the weight... I will never recommended this pill and will never go back on it!"


"I've been on 20 mg for a month. My dr said I should start on a lower dose because of stomach issues I've had in the past. I've tried SSRIs and I didn't like them. Wellbutrin was fine but now am trying this.

My body feels energized in the morning, even if I had only had 5 hours of sleep. I haven't noticed any changes to my mood, I still feel negative. My heart rate has gone up, I notice my resting heart rate is not as low as it used to be (I wear a Fitbit).

Haven't had any weight gain, haven't had any libido changes, and my stomach hasn't hurt.

So far, 1 month in and on a lower dose than he starting dose, I have had no negatives, but also no real positives either."


"I was prescribed this medicine to help with my erratic periods. It was great, at first. About eight months into it, I became anemic from heavy bleeding and had nine day periods instead of four. I've also experienced spotting eight months into taking it."


"I started using this in combination with propranolol for my tremor. I take 80 mg of the propranolol in the morning and 50mg of Primidone before bed. I had been taking the propranolol for 6-7 years already and it cuts the intensity of my tremors by 50-70%.  By adding Primidone as a combination therapy I would say that it's 80-95% reduced.  If you have a hereditary tremor like this you should ask your doctor about these medicines.

Good Luck!"


"Got Demerol at ER when I had severe abdominal pain. I watched her inject it while I was sitting up. I immediately felt warm and got a head-rush. Great Medication, took ALL the pain away."


"My comment is concerning the design of the new bottles.  Have you tried getting a tiny pill from a large square bottle?  They won't pour out but lodge in the corner."


"Diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer involving bones. PSA was 130. Gleason score is a pair of bad 7s (4 3) and a pair of 8s. Also undergoing chemo with docetaxel. I've had 4 of 6 scheduled treatments. I also have xgeva injection monthly and lupron quarterly. I've had one lupron injection  and 3 xgeva injections. After 42 days PSA dropped to 2.9. Three weeks later it was .7. That's a 98% drop each time. Was urinating 12 times a day about 4 to 6 ounces at a time and storing 9 ounces all the time. First treatment was docetaxel, xgeva and lupron on same visit. Relief was almost immediate. Eliminating 12 to 14 ounces now 4 to 5 times a day. Also take prednisone twice a day until chemo is done. Side effects have been fairly nominal."


"Suffered from IBS-D and anxiety for 20  years.  Recently had a 6 month bout of terrible IBS-D. Became a hermit. Didn't want to leave the house, had huge panic attacks about traveling and became very depressed. Finally went to doctor. Had problems filing this med with health Alliance but BCBS covered it. Started taking 2 a day each 100mg and caused opposite problem. Now on 1 a day and this is a game changer.  It's taken awhile to build up in my system but in 5 weeks I've only had 2 attacks--- and I was having 4-5 daily.  If this stays the course it's seriously heaven sent! Slowly getting my life back!"


"I've been on this birth control since I was 16. I am 20 now and starting to wonder about other forms of birth control. Its not a bad pill, but its not great either. It makes my period slightly lighter and I haven't had any pregnancy scares with it, but I really don't like the way it makes me feel. Terrible cravings, bloating, headaches, etc."


"I love the Implanon. I have had it 3 yrs and it is very effective.  The only problem I had was the long periods that ranged from 7-10 days."


"I have found this is the only medication that works for me as a muscle relaxer.  Two operations for disc fusion (that did not fuse) has left me with much shoulder and neck pain.  "


"I have been on Adipex for one week. I wanted to use it as an appetite suppressant while I changed my eating habits. I have used Adipex and the free I Phone App My Fitness Pal to track everything I eat and drink each day right down to vitamins and excercise. I have lost 7.5 lbs this week. No soda, no side effects. Hungry by dinner, but full quickly. I'm only looking to lose 40-46 lbs and I am well on my way! I suggest you only use this pill as an appetite supressant while you change your diet and excersise. If you continue your same patterns, this drug will only be a temporary fix."


"I've been smoke-free for 3 months now, thanks to Bupropion. I smoked for 22 years and was never able to quit for more than 3 days. I was ready to quit, but I knew I needed help. My Dr. suggested Wellbutrin. I got a prescription for Bupropion. The first few days I had a lot of cravings but stayed focused. After 4 days I noticed that it was actually easier to get through each craving. After 2 weeks, I didn't really think about cigarettes very much. Now, 3 months later, I hardly think about smoking, and if I do, it passes within a millisecond. Quitting is hard, but Bupropion made it easier to get through, and I feel happier too. I would definitely suggest this drug for anyone trying to quit smoking."


"Controlled neural activity for a while but ended up being hallucinogenic, thus it could no longer be used."


"I started taking this medication about 2 months ago for severe neck pain.  I could barely turn my neck and I dealt with constant pain.  I had been on medications in the past, had radio frequency ambulation, and injections.  This present medication has made me a new woman.  I am able to go about my daily routines, without pain.  I highly suggest this medication if nothing in the past has worked."


"Works very well at keeping me awake. No euphoria like amphetamines, very few side effects in fact aside from a very mild headache, which aspirin can fix. It seems like all it does is remove my chronic fatigue.. without giving extra energy. Perfect in my opinion.

Anxiety can be a problem, especially at the 250mg dose. If it is a problem, I would recommend breaking the 250mg in half and taking them several hours apart, which also helps with the late afternoon crash.

If you have high blood pressure or heart problems, probably not a good idea to take it.

Also, there is a generic.. not sure of the price difference."


"I have been on every antipsychotic you can think of, and none of them has seemed to help. Seroquel helped quiet the voices but I also gained almost 100 pounds. I have been going through this for almost 5 years, getting better then worse again, and the best so far has been Latuda. Been taking it for about three to four weeks and already the voices have quieted, I'm doing things like cleaning the house again, drawing, I'm happier, not overly hungry, and I'm actually losing weight. Kind of scared to get my hopes up since I always seem to get better, then get worse... but so far so good!"


"I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease about a month ago, and I am 15 years old. I take 400mg of Pentasa 3x daily along with other pills to stop inflammation. So far it's been working great. I still get abdominal pain occasionally which is a lot better than it used to be."


"No migraine, but really bad reaction to just 3 nightly doses of 25mg (the symptoms got worse each day before I stopped).  Same thing happened to a friend.  Struggled to breathe (had to breathe deeply with each breath and even took an inhaler to see if that would help).  I felt disoriented, dizzy, and like I was walking under water with blurry vision.  I was extremely lethargic and had trouble climbing a flight of stairs without getting winded.  I was having sharp pains throughout my body (breasts, stomach & back). My heart felt like it was beating really hard (not fast, just through my chest).  My face and arms were tingling.  I had a really bad taste at the back of my mouth and everything I ate/drank tasted weird. I'd prefer the migraine."


"I had my implant put in last April. I had very light spotting for 2 weeks after it was put in. Now its February and I just started bleeding again. Nothing to serious. I love it. I have had no side affects what so ever. I don't have to worry about taking a pill every day or trying to remember to go in and get a shot every 3 months. It was the best decision for me and I still agree with that decision even now."


"My 12 yr old son has been on Concerta ER for 9 months after switching from Metadate. He responds quite well to it and his grades are fantastic. He is much less mouthy on it... and rarely gets into trouble at school.  So far.. so good."


"I've taken several different SSRIs and SNRI's. This medication is the worst I have even taken. It makes me feel worse than I felt before I started taking anything at all - sweating, hot flashes, my mouth constantly tastes like I drank salt water, constipated, bloated, nausea, exhausted. You name It. EXTREME RAGE!!!! stay away from this med. it's a scary thing"


"I was diagnosed with parasuicide and major depressive disorder. I also suffer from obsessions, rather than compulsions, and have anxiety. This was supposed to be a cure-all for me until I started having VIVID nightmares that I thought only happened because I was maybe sleeping better. Turns out, Prozac made me lose sleep and I would wake up crying with my heart pounding. My brother had died, so having vivid nightmares related to him dying and other people dying was absolutely intolerable. I would lay in bed and cry because I was afraid to go to sleep. I would force myself to stay up so I didn't have to dream. It was a living nightmare. I had no idea that that was a possible side effect, and the medicine was put on my allergy list."


"The medicine is absolutely horrible! After the first two hours of me having only one pill in my system my whole body hurts, I have a headache. I'm running a fever, I can't even walk. My legs and arms are numb and tingling and are in so much pain . I do not recommend at all! It's worse than my UTI."


"I have been having issues since I first got my period at 13 years old. I've had horrible weight gain, infertility, and my cycles is never the same twice. I've been on Metformin for almost a month now and just had my first "normal" cycle. I had a bit of a problem with nausea when I first started taking this and I've learned I have to eat right away when I get up from feeling sick but am getting used to it. I definitely have to take this medicine with food or I get sick.  "


"Once accustomed to Benicar 20 mg., I love it.  After trying Lisinopril for just one day, I kissed the bottle of Benicar!  But best of all, my arthritis pain in my knees has gone away - an amazing bonus."
