"I was on Avinza for about 6 years for chronic pain and so far it has been the best medication that I have ever been prescribed. Unfortunately I have had to switch medicines due to the cost of them.  I have still been unable to find a medicine that works as well with my pain. I can manage the pain with MS Contin but I have to take more pills a day than with the Avinza. So anybody out there that truly needs to find some relief, my advice is to try it if you can afford it."


"Low side effect profile! However, it's a weaker anti-emetic, so I often have to rely on stronger medications instead."


"I had terrible acne at 13. PhisoHex  was an over counter cleanser. I was instructed to use it daily and that my acne may get worse at first, but after about two weeks my skin would begin to clear up. This is exactly what happened. I used it for at least 5 years and my skin was flawless. I stopped using it because it was taken off the market"


"I have been on this birth control regularly for almost a year now. I am very sensitive to the hormones and experienced extreme sickness I mean to the point I was throwing up every morning and on the verge of passing out no matter what I tried to prevent it. I learned that taking it in the morning solved this problem. Negative side affects are that I have a huge appetite (thankfully a high metabolism) constant headaches, worse PMS, no motivation, tiredness, irrational mood swings, and last week I noticed breakthrough bleeding and cramps halfway through the pack. But all in all my periods are short and I'm not pregnant yet! Remember every woman is different."


"Wonderful, works in about one hour."


"I had been constipated for 3 days . So I went to the drugstore and looked over my options for a laxative. Dulcolax said it was "gentle, overnight relief." So I decided to give it a try . The box says to take 1-3 pills, so I decided to take 2. I drank 2 glasses of water then I went to bed and awoke at 2 am with extreme stomach cramps, cold/hot flashes, and an overall sick feeling. I went to the bathroom too many times to count between the debilitating stomach cramps. Nothing about this product was "gentle" as it states on the box. I laid in bed and moaned and groaned with each cramp. 24 hours later I am still in pain! I thought I might need to go to the emergency room! I will not use this product again or recommend it to anyone! BEWARE!!"


"I took 2 months of the medication and conceived during the second month. I was ecstatic!  This was my first pregnancy. The pregnancy was a breeze the birth was awesome!  I have a beautiful baby girl! Planning my next pregnancy for Fall 2016. I can only hope and pray I have the same experience!  Very very pleased!"


"In the beginning I had severe headaches and spotting.  Now I take the pill in the evenings and have not experienced any side effects."


"Knocked me out to sleep the 1st 2-3 nights i took it, at 300mg. As the weeks increased as did my dosage of 300mg up per weeek til i reached 1,800 mg. 2 in morning, 4 at bedtime...

No way coukd i sleep. My mind constantly racing. Can't be having that......"


"I had a condom break on June 30 and quickly took plan B within 2 hours of the accident. I was freaking out because I read that it doesn't work after ovulation and my last period was on June 10 and I am pretty sure I had already ovulated. On July 9 I took a pregnancy test because my period was a couple days late and it was negative and finally today July 11 I got my period this morning. So yes this does work even post ovulation. Some side effects I had were nausea, period like cramping, lots of white discharge, sore breasts,delayed period and fatigue. And now heavy heavy HEAVY period. Worth the side effects though."


"375 mg, three times a day was prescribed for my severe muscle pull near the left hip. Took the first pill at dinner time Thursday. Pain subsided a bit, but the medicine apparently wears off after 8 hours, because pain woke me up at 4:15 am Friday. Took pills at 4:30 am, 12 noon and again 8 pm.  Would estimate the pain was 1/3 less during the day. Sleep was again interrupted by hip pain: there was no positioning of the knees or legs that lessened the pain.  Today, Saturday, I took a pill at 7 am and will continue to dose every 8 hours.  Tomorrow I have to perform a concert while standing, so I'm counting on these to pull me through.
Eager to get off these pills because of their scary effect on blood pressure."


"My stomach was severely swollen. Felt like I was 9 months pregnant! The swelling started to decrease after the second day on the medication,  such a relief!!"


"Was given this for a pelvic inflammatory infection, the side effects are horrendous, I've never been as ill in my life! Have had to stop taking after 10 LONG days on them!"


"47 months on treatment in the phase I-b clinical trial. Started Nov 2011 finished trial Oct 2015"


"On month 5 of taking Sprintec and it has almost completely cleared my cystic acne that I have had for over 5 years! Now all I have to do is clear up these acne scars!"


"I've been taking Buspar for about two weeks now and it seems to be helping my mild anxiety pretty well! I started off taking half of the dose my doctor gave me just to introduce it slowly into my system. I'm now up to the full dose of 5mg twice a day. The only side effects I've noticed is that my stomach gets a little bit loud about a half an hour after I take the morning dose, (literally loud, gurgles and grumbles) but it goes away within about 20 minutes. I would definitely recommend it for mild to moderate anxiety."


"I was taking pain medication for a knee injury, and I suffered from severe constipation. When I say severe, I mean I could barely walk. It was so painful that I had to get my husband to help me off the toilet so I could curl up in bed in the fetal position. I couldn't eat anything either.
My grandma recommended milk of magnesia. I sent my husband out to get me some, and I took the max dose that was allowed in a day.
I was in pain for almost six hours before it started to kick in. It did soften my stool, but it was still painful coming out as I was EXTREMELY constipated. Then after the major bowel movement, I did have some diarrhea.
MOM got the job done! I can't complain because the pain I was experiencing was almost unbearable."


"It works so much better than albuterol. It doesn't make you choke and there is little or no heart racing after using it."


"I just started this medicine about a month ago. It is making such a big difference in my appetite and my energy. I am a fairly young man at 23 years old. I knew something wasn't right with my body over the last few years, as I had gained about 30 pounds over the course of just a few months and felt so sluggish. It turns out, like many of you reading this, I have an underactive thyroid. I have heard that three drugs help with the thyroid hormones. Synthroid (T4 hormone), Cytomel (T3 hormone), and Armour Thyroid (T4 & T3 Hormones). Synthroid has gotten a bad rap because it's synthetic and it only covers the T4. Well, the T4 is most likely all you need because a T3 deficiency is rare. Synthroid is great. Stomach upset went away in 1-2 weeks."


"I had Taxol and Cisplatin for Stage 3 ovarian cancer.  After 6 treatments, each 3 weeks apart, a second surgery to check for residual cancer cells, I was declared cancer free.  The Taxol severely damaged my nerves in fingers and feet, but now after 16 yrs, I have no residual damage.  I am proud to say I am a 16 year cancer survivor."

"I got this bar almost exactly a year ago and have gains 20lbs don't get me wrong I love the no periods and all that but if you don't want to gain weight I wouldn't recommend"


"I only used Rogaine for 2 days. At the end of my second day I developed a headache,  I took an Excedrin and my headache became a full blown migraine,  I broke out in a cold sweat  and got shaky. I then realized the Rogaine has a drug interaction with both the asprin and acetaminophen in the Excedrin.  I had to wait it out.  As a migraine sufferer I cannot use this drug for the side effects.  I am so disappointed. I purchased the  3 month supply."


"Doctor prescribed tami flu stopped because I developed itchy red rashes all over. I didn't feel any better during the few days that I took it."


"At first when I got the implant in I loved it, but after giving it the full 3 years I have got it taken out and am so glad. I had constant mood swings, weight gain, constantly on my period, terrible headaches and awful cramp. I would constantly think it would get better and give it chance after chance but it just kept getting worse. It made me into a complete different person, I got my implant taken out today and already feel calmer and happier. Wouldn't recommended it at all."


"1. No serious side effects, such as headache or constipation; this is the only antidepressant on the market that I have ever been able to tolerate.
2. Serious vivid dreaming and sometimes nightmares.
3. Daytime sleepiness. Advise taking at night.
4. EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE.
5. Taking the 5 mg.
6. Stabilizes my emotions, OCD, negative thinking."


"I went to a CVS walk-in clinic and was diagnosed with a sinus infection. Was prescribed amoxicillin/clav for 10-days. After 2nd day I started feeling better, but on the 9th day I developed a severe allergic reaction. Horrendous rash that spread all over my body. Terrible itching/burning. Wound up on prednisone and other drugs for 2 weeks to counteract the reaction to the antibiotic. Had no idea I was allergic so could not advise person at CVS, but it has been three weeks of hell."


"ADD is NOT a made up condition. I'm 26.  Without Adderall/Vyvanse, i have no mental energy or focus to do anything. And it has been this way my entire life. School has gone from being an F and D student to being an A and B student. It has nothing to do with "being lazy" and everything to do with having a real chemical imbalance in the brain. Anyways, have been full time for 2 years until 7 weeks ago I convinced myself it wasn't working anymore and I didn't need it. Big mistake! I am ready to start up again next week. I can feel the old me come back, the me I hated. If you truly have ADD/ADHD, this will change your life for the better.

Some negatives are sleeping less, decreased apatite, and often weak erections on it (despite high libido)"


"I was dx lobular/mixed Stage3A BR Ca Hercept-, Estr and Progesterone+ in Nov 2012. Had lumpectomy for 5cm tumor and 9/16 + lymph nodes. Had chemo and radiation full boat. Anastrazole is difficult but life saving. I always see the cup as half full and for me this is now more important than ever! I was 66 when diagnosed and am now 70. I do have occasional hot flashes that go away quickly. My biggest complaint is sore hands and knees. My feet also tingle but I believe that is from the Taxol chemo. I find walking and getting up out of a chair difficult. BUT I recommend swimming. I go 3-4 times a week and wow what a difference! Water aerobics are great too. Try it and do what you can and you will feel a difference. Some days better than others!"


"6-8 years ago, I used to have a UTI every other month. Cipro was my go-to because I'm allergic to most others. It always worked. Haven't had an infection for at least 2-3 years until now- Cipro took care of it 100% in 3 days. It isn't easy on the digestive system, and definitely have to follow all instructions on bottle (don't take with calcium, or before anything fortified with vitamins &minerals and stay out of the sun!), but it works! The things I did to stop getting uti's: no baths, only showers; urinate before and after sex, lots of water and not too many caffeinated drinks, don't  try to "hold it" (if you gotta go, then go!). Taking cranberry daily is helpful also."


"I've been going through this for 7 years and this is the first medicine to ever make me stable. Thank you Latuda."


"I put the pill in around 6pm it is now 2am and I feel fine. I have a little itch here and there but no burning . I have a pad on for the leakage but other than that I feel so much better ! will use again"


"My doctor put me on Estradiol for my hot flashes.  Tomorrow will be the end of my first week and I have had no luck with the patch sticking.  I am on my third patch now in this first week and this one is falling off too!  The product has definitely helped though. This is too expensive to use a months worth of patches in only one week.  But I was so excited when I felt like I'd actually gotten some sleep after only a few days of usage.  I need to get a patch that stays on."


"10 months on 5mg abilify + wellbutrin and lithium. Gained 15-18 pounds. Found out this week that Abilify causes weight gain and it's the culprit - not an injury I'd been blaming it on. And I'd blamed myself and started "disordered eating" out of desperation. It gets rid of my mood swings and crying for no reason. I feel generally good except foggy while at work where I do not enjoy being. Unmotivated at work. Moderately motivated in personal life - better than in years. Absolutely quitting this drug. Now for the withdrawal I wasn't aware of when I decided to take it... I think this is a dangerous drug for anyone who is prone to weight gain or diabetes. Can't believe my pdoc didn't say anything when I complained about weight gain last time."


"I noticed I'm itching all over my body"


"I have had this for about a year and a half and have loved it so far. My periods have completely stopped which for some is a worry but I find it rather convenient. The process of putting it is wasn't too bad but there was a little swelling and bruising at the site for a few days which is to be expected. Prior to getting Implanon I was switching around birth control pills trying to find something that would regulate my periods and work well for me, so this was a great change, I recommend everyone to talk to their doctors if they are looking for a new alternative. I have pretty good insurance so what would've cost me more than $700 got reduced to only $30 including the insertion procedure, also alleviates the monthly cost."


"I have osteoporosis.  Im 50.  Had hysteretomy at 45. Took Forteo for full 2 years after I broken a hip at 47.  Dexa showed no improvement.  Very disappointed in Forteo."


"Been using Savella (50 mg 2 X daily) for 9 weeks and it's made a HUGE difference in my pain. Not 100% pain-free, still have trigger points etc, but improved my ability to function day to day tremendously. It 'takes the edge off', I've had entire days where I feel almost normal. Did have the typical side effects the first two weeks: sweating, rapid heartbeat, agitation and nausea. Stuck it out, the side effects subsided and it was worth it. Tried a lot of the other medicines recommended for fibromyalgia including Cymbalta, Lyrica, Elavil, Flexeril etc. None worked for me - either unable to tolerate side effects or made no difference in my pain. Recently missed 2 consecutive doses and the pain came back ferociously, made me realize how much better I've felt."


"This was possibly the worst thing the Dr. could have given me . Granted, he didn't know any effect it would have on me, but never again!  After about a week or two I had to stop taking them. It actually increased both my depression and anxiety. I was always tired, but I was super jittery as well. My mother informed me that I looked like I was on meth. Thanks, mom!"


"I'm 22 and went 6 years without a cycle. Finally the doctors prescibed me provera 1 10mg for 10 days. It took 14 days to get my period but It came, I was so relieved something finally worked! No side effects except my period and thats what I wanted!"


"Great medicine. Been on it for over four years and have zero side effects. I mention that only because I seem to be one of those people that have all sorts of side effects with their blood pressure medicines. I take it in combination with Verapamil and my blood pressure consistently runs in the 120/75 range. I used to run 160/100-110.  I too have the same complaint though, that it sure is expensive!"


"I took the shot on November 4th, 2016. I bled on and off for a good part of the 3 months that I was on the shot. My doctor prescribed me some blood thinners and one other kind of medication that was supposed to stop the bleeding, but nothing really helped.
The shot would have run out on February 4th, but I got my period again on February 9th and it hasn't stopped to this day: March 29 (almost two months). I don't know what to do, my doctor seems clueless. I want to be on birth control and pills worked for me in the past but I'm afraid to take any more medication right now."


"I took 50 mg twice a day for 6 months.... first 5 days was amazing !!!!! cleared up completely, and just a small amount of redness and sensitive in the first week. I was so happy finally I had clear skin after 1 year of horrible acne in just 5  DAYS. But slowly after 3 months I got a few small bumps on my forehead... nothing bad at all! THEN IT SPREAD to my chin and cheeks (never get any on my cheeks!)  .Even though my skin was awful for 4  months I continued and then stopped 6 months in. My acne was even WORSE now 1 year later my acne is red rash like acne, cystic and everywhere!!!!!! going from doctor to doctor now starting doxcycline and birth control.... absolute joke. WORKS AMAZING but terrible."


"I'm 20 yrs old and Ive been taking this drug for about a month now. I am supposed to take this whenever I have a panic attack but I usually take 1 25mg before bed to calm me down sometimes. It really helps when I'm so anxious that I can't fall asleep. Although I think I might need a higher dose soon. my only complaint is the dry mouth and after waking up you feel really drowsy and you almost have a "light" feeling (not high, its different). Overall I would recommend taking this in the evening if you just need to calm down a bit to sleep."


"This has been the best medicine for Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome in our sons 11 years. It was tough going for about 6 months of severe highs and lows of crying to laughing hysterically. But getting through that has been amazing. He's more vocal, his pupils are not staying dilated and he seems to understand more. I would tell any parent looking for help to please give this medicine a try."


"Works pretty good for anxiety if taken the right way."


"I find Maxalt Wafers amazing. I get a little tightness in my throat but apart from that no side effects and they work within I/2 an hour. In fact it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off me. They are expensive but worth it."


"30. Male. I was completely lethargic and I had pretty bad anxiety. I always stressed about job assignments at work and rarely ever wanted to leave my room at home. I had no energy and I frequently called into work. I thought I had low testosterone so I had some bloodwork done, my doctor prescribed me lexapro 10mg in the meantime and I felt my anxiety and depression just disappear. I remember the moment I knew the medication was working when I was sitting on my porch feeling glad to be alive for once, enjoying the weather and just smiling. I feel like my old self before the crazy depression. Yawning and diarrhea is annoying. But I'll take that to enjoy little pleasures in life again."


"My experience was HORRID. I got the Implanon as a 18 year old, it made me moody. It made me BREAK out with cysts. I got it in July of '12 and got it removed in December of '12. Not to mention, I gained back the weight I had lost the year prior. It was hell. But.... My doctor convinced me to give it another shot so I got it May of '16 and got it removed today! When I was on it, I was moody, depressed, spotting for three months, not to mention gained the weight I lost while being off of it.

I would recommend for you to do Your research. If you're sensitive to hormones, it is NOT worth the money. My friend has the same thing, she has no symptoms and it's a breeze for her. For me it made me into a grumpy Shrek. Therefore, I would never get th"


"Within hours after my first two doses I suddenly realized that I had moisture in mouth, on my tongue and in my upper throat. What a glorious feeling! I actually started crying I was so happy to feel normal again! I haven't seen or felt any side effects--just the joy of not having to endure the parched and sticky mouth, tongue and throat anymore. I'm actually making a special thank-you card for my doctor who came up with the idea! I couldn't be happier. It's funny how I took things for granted ---like a comfortable, moist mouth---until I lost it.  And what an incredible feeling it is to have it back again! Feeling grateful..."


"I took Prozac for several years to treat my depression and it was awesome. It had few side effects but gave me my life back. I went from not leaving my bed to actually being a productive member of society again. I did lose a good deal of weight while I was on it but that eventually balanced out.  I took it until it got to the point where it stopped working for me and I've never found anything that has worked as well.  Hopefully I will be able to take it and have it work for me again one day."


"I was addicted to nose spray, its actually more common then you think. After using normal nose spray for so long it made my membranes in my nose swell every time I didn't use it. The doctor gave me this to use and I could breathe again without the use of nose spray!"


"I finally found an alternative to Ambien in Silenor. My doctor prescribed me some and so far have been very very happy with the results. Full 7 hours of sleep without waking and the best part.. No daytime drowsiness and no addiction! Finally. It's about time. Silenor where have you been all these years?"


"I have been taking 20 mg of Viibryrd for 5 months. I titrated up very slowly and found that 30mg cause restless leg so I went back down to 20mg.  The side effects, like day time sleepiness and gastrointestinal annoyances must be worked through.  They pass.  My anxious depression has lifted and I feel better that I have felt in years.  In conjunction with the meds, I have continued to do depth psychology and psycho-spritual work which I think have also contributed to how well I feel.  People notice how bright I appear.  I am doing better than ever at work and still have energy to run my household. Recently, I was even able to return to the gym.  The only side effect I notice is gas and loose stools, a bit of bloat in the gut."


"I took this medicine while at work ( Police/Fire Dept) because of bronchitis, I started out with a red rash that went up my arms, then started to itch, terrible stomach pains , passed out and  was placed in an ambulance.  Once awake and being prepped with IV  I watched my body walk out of my body out the ambulance door, my body was literally shutting down and I  was dying on the way to the hospital, The drs. at the hospital told me that if I would have been by myself I would have surely died.

.  This was a horrible experience and since then my body has shut down to all medications  and if I am prescribed  any kind of medications  I have to sit in the drs. office waiting for another reaction. I had surgery 2015 and had a team standby."


"I had a bit of constipation and it was getting uncomfortable so I decided to take 2 senekot.
I probably should not have taken 2 as the next day I couldn't keep off the toilet and by the second day I had to take imodium which is the opposite because I kept having diarrhoea and it seems  to be making feel really light headed. I drank lots of water. It definitely relieves constipation but way too much!! So if you are severely constipated it's worth a go."


"I've been on Cymbalta for severe depression for about six months now. I tried other depression medications that either made the depression worse or made me way too complacent and had a lot of side effects. With Cymbalta, my depression has gone away with almost no side effects and I'm back to feeling like an actual human being instead of being consumed by the depression. The only problem I had was it interfered with my sleep. I would half wake up multiple times a night, and would be running my fingers through my hair. Basically I was moving about in a half awake state and not getting a proper deep rest. This was able to be resolved by combining this medication with another one I take before bed. Very positive experience and I'm very grateful"


"I've been on a variety of different benzodiazipines for about 16 years now for anxiety, Agorphobia and even insomnia and I have to say Xanax is by far the most effective. I've been on Valium, Klonopin, Ativan and even SSRI'S and none helped me the way Xanax did. Ativan did absolutely nothing, Valium was "decent"(I'd give it a 5) because of its long acting qualities and Klonopin made me tired all the time. Only with Xanax can I lead a normal, productive life. Without that medicine I would not be able to hang out with friends, go to the grocery store, go to the mailbox, associate with my family ...these are all triggers of my anxiety. Even answering the phone! I've taken 2mgs two times daily now for the past 7 years and it works great!"


"After having a heart attack at 55 years of age, I was prescribed citalopram.   My only regret is that I didn't start taking it 30 years earlier.   It has made stresses much easier to handle for me, and me much easier on my family.  I think they should put it in drinking water (just kidding.)"


"I have had type 2 diabetes for almost 2 decades. I had to stop taking Metformin after taking it for years because it was making me violently ill - as in purging from both ends simultaneously - just randomly, out of the blue. I got off of Metformin and started taking Glipizide about a year ago. I also have been taking 100mg Januvia for several years. This past week on Tues, I stopped taking Januvia, and took my first dose of 1.5 mg Trulicity. I am still taking 10-20 mg Glipizide per day as well.

It's only been two days, and the worst thing I can say about it is that my appetite is gone, and I'm dealing with fairly mild nausea, burping, tiredness. Sure my glucose numbers are down -- cause I'm not able to eat."


"Saxenda has been a miracle drug for me! I started on March 4 at 0.6 dosage weighing in at 208 in my doctors office. Currently taking 1.2 dosage and weighing in at 194. My appetite is totally suppressed, don't look or care for food! Where have you been all my life?! Initial side effects were tiredness and dry mouth. Injections are easy to give and I have no bruising. Will check in again with updates next week!"


"1) Have become very forgetful.
2) I daze out alot.
3) Hard breathing sometimes.
4) sleeplessness.
5) constantly have to be moving.
6) no real drive"


"I started Belviq on 1/26/16 today, 2/27/16 I am down 9 pounds. I started at 203 lbs and today I weigh 194 lbs, it works, but you have to work too.  No side effects for me.  My goal is 170 lbs by May 31st...that's only 24 lbs !"


"I have had the implanon for over 4 years now with in the 1st years I gain over 59 pound. I feel as if this birth control caused me to go blind in my left eye after two years on it I notice that u couldn't see out my left I so I went to eye doctor she sent me to an specialist they told me I had fluid on the brain I was put in the hospital for 2 day to get in spinal  tab... then to found out that I 100 percent loss my vision in my left eye. It was  something end tumor I forgot the name.. I never had a problem until this birth control I notice one I had got it I had a lot of head aches.. my ears sound like I had water are something on them... to lost my vision tho... I hate I ever made this decision.. I'm looking for an lawyer...Now"


"I was on Ven for 18 months  150mg per day increased to 300mg.   I have put on weight, just over 2 stone.   Lost 75% of my hair. It now resembles very fine baby hair.

 The side effects were never made known to me by the doctor that prescribed this awful medication.

 I have now stopped taking  Ven. I weened myself off in 2 months. I'm now into my  second month Ven free.  I just wish I'd never taken it to begin with."


"When I take linzess it work best when you eat exactly a half hour after you take it and eat a lot of fiber. Linzess seems to not work if you miss a day. Got to take it daily."


"Waste of time!!! Was on this pill for a month religiously... Still got pregnant!! Doesn't do what indicates DONT USE THIS!!"


"I took it to the pharmacy and I was told it was going to be $400. I called my dermatologist and they told me to use the rebate card and it should be $35. I went back to the pharmacy and sure enough after I insisted what the cost should be I got two tablets for $35. I have not had a cold sore in six months which is unusual because I usually get one every 2 to 3 months."


"If you boil up balsom tea every day for one month you will cut your colestral and your thyroid down to where you dont have to take drugs. Its no quick fix but its a lot better than taking drugs. My wife is going off a lot of drugs and feels a lot better."


"I have been on Contrave for 5 months, and I've lost 49 pounds. I started at 314lb and am now down to 265lb. The only side effects I have are some shakiness in my hands and dry mouth (which is okay because it makes me drink more water).  In my experience, this medication does tend to lose effectiveness over time. I don't crave sweets, but I wasn't a big sweets-eater before Contrave either. I crave salty snacks and that hasn't changed.

Overall, I would say that this is NOT a miracle drug that makes the fat just fall away. It can help you, but you have to be willing to put in the work. I still have days where it's hard to make good decisions, but I aim for 1200 calories a day. I'm well on my way of reaching my goal of losing 100 pounds in a year"


"Excellent for anxiety and sleep. No more sweaty palms and inner tension. 15mg at bedtime and sleep like a baby. No side effects - increased appetite though."

"Did 12 weeks VPac   Cleared virus at 4 weeks last May just had labs again still undetected. After treatment I have only gone down hill, my liver has grown 3 cm  went from a F0 to a F2-3 moderate never had liver pain prior... ever.
Now  I have pain in my liver at a level 9 ,going straight thru to back.  I had no liver issues prior
felt I was not a candidate for this drug yet as I was having no liver issues. But sick with Lyme, EBV and as I had thyroid cancer and my labs are not good, lots of immune disorders disease, now think I got liver cancer the pains so bad, I knew when I got that first box when I touched it I had such a bad feeling I threw it to back of my closet for a month till I got pressured to take it, MISTAKE"


"I'm 26, just celebrated my 1 year anniversary with my Mirena. I remember like if it was yesterday when I had it inserted. It was a very, very painful 30 seconds. My doctor said it would only be a pinch...ah definitely not JUST a pinch. It wasn't that my doctor did anything thing wrong, my doctor is the best, I just was not ready, or expected that kinda of pain. I luckily had taken two days off so I rested and I did have painful cramps. I was spotty for about a week after that.  Cramps are pretty bad but it beats worrying about being pregnant. Even though the insertion was painful, ladies I strongly recommend it to every woman who wants a reliable birth control."


"I have been a suffering from migraine headaches for 20   years. I've tried EVERYTHING. My experience has shown if you take 2 tablets of Fioricet at the onset of one, you will do yourself a huge favor. It works. It may not eliminate your migraine but it will make it tolerable and less severe. Like others above, you have to be careful about how much you do take. I've found if I had a bad headache and have taken several pills, I have to then ween myself off of it by taking one pill every 4 hours over the next day or so to prevent a rebound headache. If you take many of these to relieve a headache, I recommend taking a few when your headache is gone to prevent a rebound. I make sure I carry my Fioricet with me at all times."


"I was on Tri-Nessa for almost 6 months. It did its job on birth control. My acne was almost gone with this medication, and less hormonal during my time of the month. Worked great for me. No abnormal bleeding with this one.

The bad effect that happened to me: During the 6 month period, I had gained 25 pounds. I went from 110 to 135lbs. I wasn't like a twig, I was fit. But then after this, I got tired and just ate all the time. I also would get really nauseous from the first 2 weeks. Works well, but the side effects were bad.

Everybody is different, but this is what happened to me."


"I had an upper respiratory infection. It worked in clearing things up, but I experienced many side effects which included nausea, dizziness, lightheaded, pressure in the head and vomiting every time I took my prescription. I took my prescriptions with food and water and followed directions by the book. It seems to have many benefits but some of the side effects are not fun to say the."


"23 year old male.  Ive Had mild-moderate acne on/off since high school.  Tried everything else so decided to give accutane a shot.  For me, I took 40mg the first month and went up to 60mg for the remaining 5 months for a total of 6 months.  Months 1-4, acne got better gradually with breakouts here or there.  Months 5 and 6 my skin was completely clear.  Dryness was the only side effect i experienced. I would recommend this drug.  If you are frightened by the negative effects some people have had, I would say remain on a lower dose and be patient. The bad side effects supposedly increase at higher dosages.   Another Note: I weigh 160 lbs and the target MG for me was 72MG a day. I did less and still saw results"


"I am 13 years old and I have acne pretty bad. My mom was starting to get worried so she took me to the dermatologist. She gave me Aczone and some other gel. I have used it for about two weeks every morning and night. This is amazing! I never thought anything could help me but this really did! I love it!"


"I have been on Paxil for 20 years.  I raised my daughter alone while on this medication, and I thank God for it!  In 20 years I've had one serious episode, my doctor added Risperidone to my regimen for a few weeks.  This helped level me out again.  I am happy to report, I believe Paxil saved my life!"


"One of the worst medicine I ever had to conceive baby. It will lead u to miscarriage."


"Omg...this is just some bullcrap. I was on minastrin  before I got pregnant and the periods weren't really heavy but I cramped really bad. So I decided after the baby I would go back on it until my paragard comes in. Whelp, I get back on it, keep in mind I'm already facing post partum depression.  I have every symptom listed. I can't believe it would make me suicidal but yes...it does.  I stopped taking it because I couldn't stand the spotting...well of course that turned into a heavy period. Then 2 weeks later I got another full period. So I went without birth control for another month which wasn't cool. So I decided at the start of my current period I would start back taking it. And here I am...spotting after my period, and I have blood clots."


"I took Valium for almost 3 years and it helped my anxiety. I started on 5mg three times a day then that increased to 4 times a day. I started waking in the early morning thinking I had bad pills because they weren't working. I found out I was in tolerance and started having tolerance withdrawal. It's very hard to come off. I tried to stop cold turkey and on day 3 it felt like I had been shocked with a cattle prod. I went back to 15 mg and started a slow taper.  Added remeron for sleep while tapering. I would steer clear from benzos and find something else for anxiety, these should not be taken for long periods of time.It make your world a better place to be and forget life's problems for a short time but you will face consequences later."


"so far doing good. Got a diagnosis of MS 2016, Jan. I was numb from the waist down. Took for a month for the numbness to recede. I am very unbalance. I am hoping as months pass that will disappear. My energy has not return for me yet. Maybe it will. I am praying so. No reactions except itching on the back of my arms. that is all. I do all 7 sites."


"I was prescribed Olux-E for Psorisis of the scalp.  I made an appointment with a dermatologist because I was embarrassed by the flakes and condition of my scalp.  Symptoms were cut in half after two days of use and gone in four.  I can wear black again!  It still itches a bit but the flakes are gone.  Couldn't be happier.  It is a topical steroid so I'm going to stop using and keep some on hand for the occasional flare up.
So impressed.  THANK YOU!"


"I have had the series of three shots and am not feeling better.  I felt better after the first shot but now I'm feeling the same old way.  It hurts to climb or descend stairs, walking for prolonged periods hurts, my knees still hurt.  Is there a time frame for the injections to talk hold and you feel better?"


"I started the shot around Feb and went in to the clinic not knowing what I wanted. I decided on the shot there and then but then read more reviews after I got it that freaked me out - depression, loss of sex-drive, anxiety, etc. I'm pretty moody as it is so I was terrified of what I had put in my body. I did bleed and spot for about 3 weeks after which I think is totally normal because that has happened to me in starting any new birth control (pill & patch). Then I started to realize that my body was taking really well to it. I never noticed any major mood swings aside from the emotional being I already am (know yourself!). Got the second shot & still going good! I'm sure there are long-term effects though that could be considered."


"blood sugar higher while taking then it was before I started it  makes you hungry witch I don't need I am not happy with this drug"


"Only works sometimes with cramps and withdrawal.  I went back to using  colon cleanser."


"I've been on this birth control for about 5 years now, it's the only one I have ever tried and I'm sticking to it! It has completely prevented any pregnancies and I never had one negative side effect. I've never had any moods swings, depression, headaches, nausea, breast soreness or anything this drug hasn't affected my personality or body at all. Occasionally I get mild period cramps but nothing worse than the norm...you can't escape all the blessings of being a girl!"


"It seems everybody's Skyla experience is different clearly. I'm seeing a lot of negatives here. A thought is perhaps the people having Skyla going smoothly wouldn't have a need to go rummage through or post such a success stories. My insercion was only a matter of minutes. My doctor came in explained what she was going to do and told me she was starting. First I had to lay back and put my feet in "stirrups", second she had taken a tool to help keep me open, third she took a long metal rod about a foot long and slid it in to measure my cervix that was the only part of my experienced that involved pain and it was only a quick sharp cramp that made me push back a little, and lastly she had put Skyla in which I didn't even feel enter."


"I have recently taken my Implanon out of my arm. The last three years with it have been a breeze. I absolutely love this birth control. My periods were light the time up until the last couple months, when they were still light, but lasted a couple weeks. We have decided to try for our 4th child so I decided not to replace my Implanon, but after I have a baby, you can bet Implanon is the birth control method I will use."


"Great!  Fell from tree and crushed my pelvis.  Unbelievable pain.  Nothing worked.  When they gave me Torodal the pain immediately was gone and I was not light headed.  I felt no pain at all.  BUT...I then developed a skin rash and had to stop the medication.  Too..bad, as it was the best."


"I've been on the mirena this time for about a month now and have been having brownish discharge no cramps or periods just brownish discharge everyday. Has anyone else experienced this? Other than the brownish discharge this is the best birth control and I would recommend it to anyone."


"My doctor recommended Liletta for me because I can go 6-8 months without a period and when I did have one it made me really sick. He stated that I maybe ovulated 1-2 times a year and that my uterus lining was extremely thick and that the medicine in the Liletta would help thin out my lining.
The insertion was painful but nothing I couldn't handle. The only downfall is I had my insertion on 11/18 and today is 2/10/16 and I am still bleeding. Some weeks its heavy as if I am on a regular cycle and then some days I am really light to where I only see something when I wipe.
I have had intercourse twice since the insertion. The 1st time I didn't bleed at all but the 2nd time I had intercourse I was bleeding heavy.I can't wait until its OFF"


"I have chronic pain due to MS and the muscle spasms and spasticity is sometimes OVER WHELMING! Recently was rear ended at a stop light and the pain is worse than ever. I have been on all other muscle relaxants and guess had built up a tolerance. My wonderful doctor finally prescribed Soma and it was a God send. Have taken before but hated it so I don't know what is different now but it is working!"


"I'm 24. Married. No children. (still enjoy shopping sprees for myself only and wanted to guarantee that for the next 5 years)

Insertion: Nov. 16, 2011. Awkward/painful but mostly uncomfortable for less than 30 seconds. Never felt my cervix and uterus being touched so it makes sense.

After: Followed by 2 hrs of intense, painful, crying cramps (and I don't cry easy). Then 6 weeks of non stop spotting. Very light but annoying because I had to use a panty liner.
Now: LOVE IT! No gain in weight. No acne. No cramps. Still no period. I was scared of weight gain and acne stories but DR assured me after years of experience less than 5 women had those symptoms and due to postpartum depression (not my case at all)."


"When I first started Sprintec, I bled for three weeks straight. My periods got ridiculously heavier (every day was a heavy day and they lasted a week). I also got sick on the first day of my period like clockwork, essentially being confined to the bathroom on that day. Additionally, I started to have anxiety attacks about three times a week and had extreme depression with suicidal thoughts. I started losing it over nothing. I pushed my fiance away because I found him repelling and called off our wedding. Within about a week of throwing away these pills I was finally back to "normal" and had to pick up the pieces left in my wake. This drug ruined my life!"


"I took oral medications for over a year. My health improved, but I was no where near where I wanted to be.  I have been using Bicillin LA for 5 weeks now and have enjoyed a huge improvement in my health.  I'm not quite back to my normal self, but I am very optimistic that the Bicillin is going to be the ticket that returns me to a healthy state."


"I had an implanon put in when I was 17. I am now 26 and every 3 years I have had a new one placed in. Each experience has been different.

First time - had my period everyday for 6 months but it was more the  ending of a period. I assume my body was adjusting.

Second time - my periods come in all over the place. I would get it for 2 days and then not have it for 4months and then come again for 1 day.

My present implanon - this was has been so different. I didn't get one period for about 2 years and now I have been getting it nearly every 2 weeks for a couple of days. I get so nervous as I don't know why it's doing it.

Downside, about 4 years ago I lost my sex drive and find it really hard to get motivated. Does anyone know tips to help!!"


"I have sinus cancer (twice) and I am left with recurring "ice cream headaches". The relief from Actiq has been virtually miraculous. It takes effect within minutes and it doesn't make me feel as medicated as I did with Vicoden.

One of the best things about Actiq is that I can regulate the amount of medication to match my break through pain level. I don't have to take a pill, wait 45 minutes then realize that it isn't working. Take yet another pill and (another) 45 minutes later realize that I am over-medicated relative to my pain.

When my doctor asked me how I was getting on with the Actiq, my answer was "Actiq gave me my life back.""


"This medicine is garbage. Does not work! Can't stop coughing total waste of money . Robitussin works better!"


"I've had so many unpleasant side effects with this medicine. At 40 mgs this medication made my obsessive compulsive disorder and panic attacks worse. My doctor told me to go back down to 20 mgs. Feel slightly better but OCD is still pretty bad. I know everyone is different but this medication hasn't helped me."


"Drixoral really worked for me and now I can't buy it anymore.  This is what happened to the 12-hour Contact time release capsules which also worked great and now can't be purchased."


"I find this the only treatment which can nip a cold sore before it develops. If one does develop, it also eliminates the pain faster (2-3 days) than any other creams I've tried. I also discovered after more than five years of annoying outbreaks that cold sores in the summer actually came from sunburned lips. Once I started to completely cover my lips before spending time in the sun, they did not come back. Here, prevention is the key."


"Great. life changing."


"I have been on Prozac since 1991. It has helped me in more ways than one. I really don't think I would be here today. I think I would have been a miserable soul without them."


"A GOD SEND! My pain was down, I had more energy by the time I was on 50mg. Unfortunately, I could not afford the medication and I didn't receive coupons. I had no side effects what so ever! I even lost 7 pounds, probably because I just felt like I could move more freely and without as much pain as I had before taking Savella. My insurance covered 1 month prescription only. It was great while it lasted!!!"


"I love it. Have not had any depression issues or suicidal thoughts. The only side effect (which I don't mind) is having no appetite. This medicine is the best one I have ever taken for my anxiety, depression and bi-polar. It works great combined with klonopin. "


"It works, but stressful experience. This pill made me skip my period for 58 days. Which resulted in a lot of anxiety and pregnancy tests. It also took over a full month of quitting the medicine before I got my cycle to come back. "


"42 yrs old, diagnosed @ 34. Was on Rebif(terrible for me), for about 5 yrs(3 shots/wk).  Always felt like I had flue like symptoms.  Constantly taking Advil, for aches and pains and chills.  Tried tecfidera for about 2yrs.  Worst abdominal pain and bloating ever!!(2 pills/dy).  Now on Aubagio(1 pill/dy) and I couldn't be happier!! Small amount of bloating, but overall no issues.  This one is working for me!!"


"I'm currently starting my second pack so I can't give a long term review of Mononessa but I still have some pretty important feedback. I'm personally taking Mononessa for contraception but mostly for my very irregular and heavy periods. Within the second almost third week I started bleeding dark brown blood but only a small amount. As the week went by it got heavier and red. I am currently still bleeding and its been 2 weeks which is frustrating since my periods usually last 2 to 3 days. What is really nice about this pill is that my body hair has stopped growing, or least grows very very very slow. It's not spectacular so far but I'll have to leave a review in 6 months to log some more long term progress."


"If I could give it a negative 10, I would.  I took a 50mg pill about 1 1/2 hours ago and still NOT WORKING.  I can't have another one for 8 hours, and I am afraid to take anything else at this time.  I am calling doc tomorrow for something else."


"I put my 22 yr old autistic son on risperidone 6 months ago and what a transformation.!  After yrs of pleading with doctors to put my son on this medication I'm finally relieved hes now on it as he is a completely different person. He used to be extremely violent, throwing, hitting out, biting his arm severely, he was a massive liability, but 6 mths on what a difference, he doesn't do any of these things anymore thanks to risperidone. However, on the downside this medication has caused him to gain weight and makes him tired, he also doesn't show much emotion with activities where things can be an effort for him, seems quite disinterested in things,  I would much rather him be how he is now than how he was before he started taking risperidone."


"I used this product for the preparation of my colonoscopy and couldn't be more happy with it.  It was easy to drink, I put a little of ginger ale and crystal light (flavor mango peach).  I recommend this product."


"I've taken it for 4 days so far and I'm still not sleeping. I thought this was a "miracle" drug and wanted to try it when it first came out. Took a year for my Dr to prescribe it. I'm very disappointed in it. I have severe insomnia and sleep 3-4 hours a night. I had built up a tolerance to my trazadone that use to work very well. All I feel are more migraines and it's made my anxiety worse. But my Dr took me off my anxiety med to put me on this. She says that it takes a few days for it work, but idk if thats true after reading these reviews. She started me out on only 5mg, which didn't help. So we moved it to 10mg. I'll give it a week, then I'm done."


"I have been taking the anastrozole now for 11 months. I have stage 1-Her2 stage 3 breast cancer. Had a lumpectomy. also went through 3 months of Chemo and 30 radiation treatments. My hot flashes continue to get worse by the day. My hands are constantly sore especially in the morning. My legs and knees have been getting worse to where I cannot get up after stooping down. Getting on my knees is impossible.

Some days I think I am losing my mind. I forget what I am saying in the middle of a sentence. My husband is worried about me and is constanty making sure I'm ok.

I have also been steadily becoming depressed. ( I am a very positive and happy person as a rule ) I don't feel like myself. Hate this pill. I am only 63."


"I have been taking Loestrin 24 for a little over a year now. Everything about it was almost great. I have short light periods, no spotting, and mood swings are pretty low. The biggest downside to Loestrin is that I gained 20 pounds while on the pill. I'm switching to Alesse after my last pack is finished."


"I took this medicine for only 3 days. It’s is the worse antibiotics I took my whole life. If I could say anything it would be: DONT EVER TRY IT. You will feel almost dead. After 24 hours without this I’m feeling much better, not 100% but 50%. Don’t take this drug! It’s a poison!"


"I had heartburn at my father's house and asked for a tumms. He said " this will help." And gave me a mostly full bottle of Phillips. Not knowing it was a laxative I took a nice pull from the bottle. It helped a small bit for the time being. On the way home my heartburn came back so one more nice slug. And just to be sure a third. By the time I was in the driveway I had nice rumble in my tummy but no heart burn. I talked to my girlfriend for while till nature called. I thought I got some bad food from the cafeteria at work. For a good two hours I have released myself and I am still going. I hoped online to check out milk of magnesia and now I'm here. Hope I will get to sleep tonight without ruining the sheets. It works and I'm all clean!"


"If you scroll down a bit to 2014, you will find my rave review of Prozac for OCD  and more than 100 people found it useful as well which is great.

Now it's 2016, a year and a half later and I went from 115 lbs (I NEVER struggled with weight) to 151 lbs today and I'm just 5'2".   My diet did NOT change.  In fact I battled anorexia in my teens.  I just don't enjoy food that much and still don't.  I truly believe some people may eat more, but ultimately it messes with your thyroid and hormones bad.

So, this is what I'll say:  Prozac is pure genius and DOES work very, very well.  You will probably lose weight in the first few months, and then as you approach a year the weight comes on fast and hard."


"This is THE absolute worst birth control and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. When I first had it placed I had my period for 5 MONTHS STRAIGHT. Now I've had it for almost 2 years (Ive procrastinated getting it out) my periods can last from 15-30 days, easy. And I'm lucky if I get 10 days inbetween them. Aside from that, my arm aches and throbs. I have heard so many horror stories about this birth control & plan on getting it taken out soon. LADIES, #SayNoToNexplannon"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"So, I read the previous reviews with a lot of trepidation.  But my experience was pretty positive.  Is it something I want to do again?  No way.  But it wasn't intolerable as I feared.

The taste isn't good but bearable if you chase it with something else (ginger ale in my case).  As others have said, it's the water afterwards which is most difficult as you are already bloated.

My stomach started making noises around 15 minutes afterwards and within 45 minutes I was confined to the toilet for the next hour and a half.  But then it was all clear and we were good. The morning one was more limited as I was already mostly cleared.  Maybe another 45 minutes on the toilet.

The actual colonoscopy was a breeze.   Nothing to fear."


"Works very fast"


"Phentermine has worked very well for me and my own personal situation. I was formerly anorexic/bulimic with a habit of severe calorie restriction, phentermine has worked amazingly.  My metabolism went into hibernation after 5 yrs of damage & I gained 180lbs post rehab. By taking phentermine daily, I have the metabolism of a nomal 22 year old girl. I lost 30lbs/90 days initially. Now I'm losing 30lbs/month.  Occasional moments of feeling weird/adrenaline rush is worth it."


"I started Prozac a year ago for severe anxiety and depression. I now feel like a whole different person. Only thing I'm wondering is if I gained weight from it. I am now 40 lbs heavier than last year, but I started a different birth control at the same time, so that could be it as well."


"I have been taking 20 mg for about 33 days now and I have noticed a huge difference in my OCD. I am able to get thoughts out of my head very easily! I have been able to watch a movie without rewinding it 20 times.I am able to clean and leave a little spot that I missed.I am able to not replay situations over and over in my head. It is great!"


"So I am 25 and this is my first YI and OMG I never want to get another...I am trying Mobistar 7, this is the first night and I just know I will get no sleep tonight. I really hope to feel some relief tomorrow because I can’t do 7 days of this kind of hell..."


"Absolutely amazing. Never found anything that could take away a migraine until my doctor prescribed this! My migraines are gone within 20 minutes of the shot. I've suffered with them since a child and now at 25 I found something that really works. This medication is a blessing to me!"


"I used this mediation for about 7 years and never once was pregnant or any side effects. However now that I have had a child (1 year) I have been taking this medicine and I have noticed that I am bloating having severe stomach problems that last hours, migraines, dizziness, and massive mood swings. I am thinking that after having a child your hormones change so due take into consideration after having a child that what worked before may not work after child birth. Other then that for the 7 years it was amazing!"


"I have been on Contrave for almost a year (40 y.o female). I started out at 240 and now I'm 190. Granted it would have been more but after my husband passed away  I didn't really watch what I've been eating and I haven't been excercising the last several months. When I first started taking it I had headaches and nausea but it didn't last long. What I love about it is that it makes you not obsess over food and it does keep you in a more cheery mood. Really great med."


"Have been on Livalo (2 mg.) for almost 2 months and have not noticed any side effects yet.

Will have blood test in another month and will see if it helped lower my Cholesterol. Previously

had taken Crestor for 2 years and it worked lowering my levels but started getting sharp pain in my bi-ceps. Felt like a needle was being driven into them. Would last about 2 to 3 seconds and then not re-occur for another couple of hours or a day.

I'm a 60 year old male who leads an active lifestyle."


"I have some conditions and I'm on pain 24/7. I use Fentanyl 100mcg every 72 hours and Percocet 2 each 6 hours. I have others medications; but with Vistaril I don't have to use the dosages of Percocet as prescribe it. I'm a veteran."


"I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis after my 1st laparoscopy in june 2015. Following my 1st surgery i started Lupron injections in hopes to slow the endo growth. I had 3 rounds of Lupron causing terrible side effects which included but not limited to: fatigue, night sweats, mood swings, joint pain, severe abdominal pain, lack in sex drive, natural lubrication, anxiety.. Dec 2015 my 2nd laparoscopy and 6mths of Lupron left me with stage 3 Endometriosis. Doc wanted to continue with 6 MORE months of Lupron and another surgery. I declined such offer. I am very unhappy with how this drug effected my life.My body will never be the same after Lupron. Dont take this drug."


"It attacked my joints and could not walk for weeks . It's been 4 months and I can't use my shoulders ."


"For those of you experiencing negative side effects...
I was on NuvaRing for 4 years.  During that time I became depressed, and cramps and back pain were unbearable.  I have discontinued use of NR and feel better. All side effects are gone! When I discussed this with my Dr., she stated that some women naturally produce a normal level of hormones.  When these women are on birth control, it can cause all of these side effects due to having an elevated level of hormones.  The opposite effect happens to women that don't naturally produce a normal level of hormones, leading them to actually feel better and not have all of these side effects. Which is why some women do well and feel great on birth control and others don't."


"Thank you for this website!!!!  I would not be a happy camper today if not for these reviews.  I thought I had a flu bug last weekend and in 2 days I was only going a little bit with barely any gas release during the day and became super bloated.Normally you can set an alarm by my bowel habits - at least 3 times a day.   I tried using vegetables and prunes etc. but by day 5 I figured I should try a laxative before going to the doctor. The  pharmacist recommended another product but it had terrible reviews - too harsh.  I bough the mint MoM and took 2 tbsp around 9:30. By midnight I had a small relief and around 2 AM I was up with diarrea for the rest of the night.  Not complaining - got total relief with NO cramping!  Sore muscles today tho"


"I just finished my first month of being on the pill. I must say at first everything was going well. After reading some of the reviews I was a bit nervous trying this new method. I didn't have any cramping,nausea,fatigue, etc. Now that I'm at the end on the month I started my period (AGAIN) and I've been on for two weeks now. At first it started off as spotting so I didn't really care much (before being on this method my periods were horrible). Now going into my second week,the bleeding is heavier than expected. It sucks. I mean who wants to be on their period for two weeks and heavy bleeding at that. I guess there's no such thing as a perfect birth control method."


"Migraines, being on both sides of my family, began for me as a child. My Aunt gave me 2 Fiorinal Tablets in 1970 when I was seventeen as I suffered one of the worst migraines I'd ever had. The pain was gone within 35 minutes. Now I would take two, relax, and wait until the pain subsided. As the migraine sufferers in our family have gotten older, the migraines have grown with us all both in frequency and intensity. When mine did the same, even if it was for days. I took my Fiorinal Tablets as prescribed and needed. I absolutely guarantee that Fiorinal was totally responsible for keeping me functional even through the pain."


"It works but it's based on what is in your stomach. If I'm stuffed and ate to much before bed, which can be hours before bed I need 3 mg. Some what full 2mg and if I ate small meals and I take it 2 hours before bed 1mg. Now if I take 1 or 2 mg on an empty stomach I might feel sick. I have gotten home before after work and very hungry and ordered pizza. Took 1 or 2 mg before ordering and felt sick before the pizza even got here. So I the mg's need is based on what's in your stomach. It works great but you can't get take what the Doctor says like 2mg's before bed because it changes.  Have the Doctor give you 90 tablets at 1mg and write take 1-3 per night as needed. We'll see if that helps and I feel your pain."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Took it on Thursday evening, June 20, 2013.  Taste was OK .. no problems.  Started to work 45 minutes into taking first dose. Worked too well, was up all night on toilet.  2nd dose at 3 AM.  Finally stopped going about 6 AM.   Colonscopy appointment at 9:30 AM. My problem was being cold.  I wrapped myself up with a coat, blanket and bath towels and still froze.  Colonscopy prep was good and had one pre-cancerous polyp.  I'd use the product again because it takes only 8 glasses to drink, 4 with each dose."


"I've tried many, many forms of BCPs. Having given up hope that I could find a decent pill that didn't cause weight gain and depression, I made an appointment to get a Mirena IUD or the implanon. I asked my doctor one more time if she thought there were any low-dose options I should try and she put me on this.

So far so good. I can normally tell what the side effects are very quickly upon trying a new pill. This one seems fine so far and it's only been a few weeks. With all pills containing estrogen I feel very foggy, a bit depressed, my athleticism suffers, I don't sleep as well, and I gain weight. I already lost 3 pounds when switching to this pill without any dietary changes. I feel great when climbing/hiking/running."


"I have peripheral neuropathy and it seems to help some. Leg still goes numb, but not as bad as it used to."


"I have used Gleevec, Sprycel and both the above mentioned with Hydrea added. Gleevec made me nauseous but it worked for a while, for about 1.5 years. I then was switched to Sprycel which didn't make me nauseated lasted 3/4 of the year.
Now I'm talking Ponatinib which sometimes upset my stomach, but it was controlling the CML and the T315I mutation, did developed Thrombocythemia, in which Thrombocythemia is being difficult to control. But the CML was being kept at bay. This lasted for less than a year. I liked the Ponatinib little side effects and was controlling the CML and the mutation, but it caused the high platelets count. All medicines were great and I do recommend them in hopes to control the CML."


"Allergies   pink eye = terrible congestion and a sore throat from all the eye drops.  I took Mucinex D to ease the congestion a bit.  It has thinned the mucus significantly, however my stomach is very gassy and unsettled; and my heart is also racing!  I haven't taken my temperature, but I feel a little feverish.  Like many of you I was not able sleep last night.  I will probably halve the dose tomorrow. But all in all it's worth it.  I can breath and that's probably the most important thing."


"Along with my middle ear infection my throat was sore as were the glands in my neck below the infected ear. After seven days on Cefdinir there had been no change, NONE! My doctor put me on a different antibiotic and within the first twelve hours the sore throat and swollen glands were gone...the ear still has fluid in it.

Cefdinir also caused me to have terribly loose stools. In fact I quickly learned to take my evening dose by 7:00 PM if I wanted to not have to get up repeatedly to use the bathroom."


"I actually want to die right now. I took 3 of them at 8:30 PM last night and I woke up at 6 AM with shivers, and intense stomach burning. As I'm writing this I've been sitting on my toilet for the past hour pooping my brains out. Does this medicine work? Yeah. Is it worth it? Hell no!"


"Worked really well at the beginning."


"Combine with actos my blood sure runs 120 or below, I love it!! I take a total 35 mgs of blood sugar meds and I have not had to have it changed in over 10 years. So with a good diet and lots of love it does make huge difference
Actos is 30 mg and this one is 5 mg."


"I've been on Jolessa for 6 months.  I decided to try this because I get bad headaches during my period (even though they'd only last 3 days, 4 days at most) and I wanted to avoid it altogether.  The first two months, it was great.  Then my period arrived a month early and the bleeding lasted for 25 days, mostly light.  I had already picked up my next 90 day pack so I figured I'd try to get through that and if I still had the bleeding, I'd talk to my doctor about another birth control.  No need to do that because Jolessa is now working perfectly for me.  It's been wonderful not having a period for a few months.  I'd recommend this birth control to anyone."


"Does the job, but tastes revolting, like drinking berry flavored sea water. It took me an hour and a half to get the first dose down and I only managed 2/3 of the second dose before vomiting. However I'd followed advice online and cut back my diet 2 days prior (both quantity and low fibre) and pretty much the first dose was all I needed to clean out so my prep was fine.
Dr just told me there is another lower volume prep available, but insurance does not cover ($100), but it would be worth it next time for me.
Tips to get it down - refrigerate beforehand, drink through straw, have water and something else (I used tonic water) to swill around your mouth after each sip to get rid of the taste.  I also used a hard boiled candy on my tongue."


"Me, taking this medicine was and is the best thing for my (RLS)."


"I am on my third month of this birth control and I am satisfied with it. The first week I took it, I would take the pill at night and then wake up in the morning with vomiting or nausea. The morning after I took the very first pill was the worst. This occurred the first few white pills of the second pack as well, however it subsided after a few days. I noticed I was moodier than usual the first few weeks but that went away. I'm glad I didn't stop taking it because now I don't even notice anything negative. I haven't gained weight, it hasn't helped my acne but it hasn't hurt it either, so that's fine with me. My periods became lighter for fewer days and MUCH less painful. My cramps are so much better now. Most importantly, I'm not pregnant."


"Great for sleeplessness. That being said, I am more anxious than I have ever been due to side effects.  It is difficult to perform a high stress sales job when you are dizzy and nauseous much less try to cope with a headache on top of the other symptoms.  All of the symptoms exacerbate the anxiety you are trying to combat.  Seems a little counter intuitive to me."


"As far as Birth Control goes, well I'm not pregnant yet (and I don't use alternate protection) so I'd say it works well in that aspect so I gave it a 6. However, I have had severe nausea, headaches (on the verge of migraines), and slight bloating. I have also been seriously tired all the time, I fall asleep all the time, anywhere, anytime, without control. I never had a problem staying awake for even a couple days without sleep until I started taking Apri. "


"I had stage 3 breast cancer have been through chemo, radiation and have been on Femara for 4 months.  I started on Aromasin but had terrible joint and muscle pain so my oncologist changed me to Femara.  My joints and muscles feel better but I am so tired that even my oncologist tells me I look worn out.  I will live with the fatigue as I know this medicine works.  I am 58 and I can no longer do what I did less than a year ago.  I ride a bike 40 minutes a day, I eat healthy but I just have no vitality.  I miss my old self."


"I really worked myself up with reading Suboxone horror stories online. I was very scared that I was taking it but I was lucky to have a very understanding doctor. He explained to me that people explain the bad more than the good. I had a very positive experience with Suboxone and was on it for 2 years. Trouble sleeping at first, bathroom problems but much better than with the OCs, but my doctor helped address all my concerns and I started living a very healthy lifestyle and now I can keep all my teeth. Taper,taper,taper I went from 16mg to 1mg if you go to fast there can be horrible withdrawal but worse relapse to whatever opiate you started from. Don't believe the terrible stories and remember anything is possible if with hope."


"IT WORKS LADIES!!! Soooo I just started dating this Guy finally after talking for 6 months.. Had sex on my ovulation day. Took pill roughly 40 afterwards. Then had sex the following week and he came inside me so panicking again took the pill 23 hours later. First time didn't feel any side effects but tiredness. The second time my boobs were tender, my back aches, I cramped really bad, and had headaches. Lol it's funny that as soon as I was about to take a pregnancy test, I went to the bathroom and saw RED! I took it still but it was negative obviously. Period was two days early but I'm just glad it came on today!"


"I've been on the pill for more then a year now & I love it. I used to get really bad headaches before, horrible cramps & a heavy period twice a month. The pill changed everything no more constant headaches, no cramps or any menstrual symptoms, no acne, light flow 3-4 & no weight gain. The pills been great to me!"


"I tried the other 2 erectile dysfunction medicines and just did not do the trick. I took Levitra and it solved the problem. I take it on an empty stomach and in about 30 minutes I set to go. I have also noticed that I last much longer which pleases my wife. "


"I was taking fentanyl and they put me on Opana and I felt it might have worked okay for a little while, but I went back on fentanyl a few months later."


"People will not believe me, but in desperation one day, I applied Oxy10 to a cist on my dogs head and within a week the cist had dissapeared!

After that I applied it to moles on my wifes ear and chest and the moles slowly dried up and fell off, leaving healthy skin!

The best result was after I contacted a skin irritation after snorkeling in the sea.

For weeks, by back itched worse and worse. The only way I could get relief was to "burn" the itch with hot air from a hair drier. I tried all the ointments that a skin specialist prescribed with no result.

The itchy area started to spread across my back and under my armpits. In desperation, I grabbed a tube of Oxy10 and asked my wife to rub it in well. Guess what? With 1 week,I was cured!"


"I've tried several different pills and the nuva ring. I always had terrible side effects including bloating, mood swings, and dryness. This pill has been great. I've been on it for about eight months now. The only side effect I had was weight loss. I went from about 128 to 118 in one month."


"I am 23 yrs old I have never been on birth control nor have I been pregnant before. I just got my Skyla inserted a week ago on the second day of my cycle. I took the cervix softeners the night before as well as ibuprofen the morning of and it did absolutely nothing. The procedure was quick but it was extremely painful.! I cramped up so bad I had to lay there on the table for about five minutes in tears before I was able to move and then had cramping for several hours following the procedure. At first for two day I could feel my IUD well at least the strings poking/stabbing the inside of my vagina if I walked or sat a certain way. It was extremely uncomfortable but it decreased  early and no complications so far."


"I've been in & out of ER for years when a really nasty migraine won't stop with at home meds. I usually get a migraine cocktail with either phenergan & nuban, or benadryl & reglan. Only this time I was uncontrollably vomiting with a hernia & back surgery and needed relief pronto. When they administered benadryl I was fine, then the reglan & within minutes I was literally jumping of the bed high stepping & jumping around the room. Things your body can't physically do after multiple back surgeries.  Suddenly surrounded by 4 nurses saying oh boy, this reaction to reglan only happens maybe 4 times in their careers  (to this extent.) They gave me 3 shots of something to reverse effects, but took over & hour! Now have a reglan allergy band!!!"


"I am finally deciding to get this implant removed. It works well for preventing pregnancy. But it altered my moods HORRIBLY. During the first month especially, I had panic attacks and anxiety, unlike anything I ever experienced before. I would cry over nothing, or get anxious or fearful. I was extremely stressed at work, even though the only thing that was different was that I had this freakin implant in my arm. I cried almost everyday, and was emotional just like my old PMS symptoms but 10000% worse. Then for about 2 weeks after the crazy heavy periods this medication caused, I felt normal and okay.. UNTIL I started my next period, then it was back to crying all the time, feeling sad out of no where, feeling DEPRESSED and unhappy :("


"INSERTION: Personally, the insertion was not bad for me; it felt like a mild cramp and I was able to go right back to work after. I took 800mg of ibuprofen 40 min before my appointment so that may have helped.

POST-INSERTION: First few days after the insertion, I experienced an on set of cramps (as expected) and took ibuprofen as directed. What was unexpected was that my period did not go away after I got it a few days later.. so I bled for about 7 weeks. However, keep in mind your body takes 3-6 mos. to adjust - I waited it out (diva cups are a LIFE saver). Thankfully by the 8th week, the bleeding stopped.  It's now nearing the 11th week and I feel pretty much back to normal and relieved knowing I'm protected from unwanted pregnancies"


"The Nexplanon is effective in preventing pregnancy. However, I experienced two pretty severe side effects while using it. A week after insertion I developed terrible acne, then about two months in experienced depression. I do not have a history of depression or a family history of this. It came out of no where very quickly and was really quite bad, the worst of it lasting a week or so then slowly fading away. I felt right away that it was likely the Nexplanon. I had it removed and my symptoms ceased and have not had a reoccurrence of depression or the acne since having it removed."


"My son switched from Risperidone to Vraylar, and it was a terrific decision.  He has no positive symptoms on 1.5 mg of the Vraylar, and he feels much more clear-minded and motivated than previously.  He has been able to recommence his college classes and generally reclaim more of his true personality.  Occasionally, he experiences akathisia, in which case he takes a day off of medication with no ill effects that we have seen.  I give high praise to the scientists behind this medication.  The fact that it works in selective and adaptive ways in regulating dopamine is a tremendous advantage.  The Risperidone left my son feeling disabled, whereas the Vraylar has facilitated a positive and dramatic turnaround."


"I started to suffer from depression and bad anxiety which I've never had before, I decided to get help as it was really impacting my life. I started taking escitalopram with the belief that these things don't work, honestly after 3 days I started to get up and enjoy myself out of the house more, I soon felt like a normal person not over the top happy but certainly not anxious and depressed FAR from it. I had the slightest headache barely worth mentioning, same with being nauseous. The worst part for me was feeling tired but it was easy to over come by taking the tablet at night, which also solves the nausea and headache."


"Great to take the edge off pain from kidney stones."


"20 years old. Started at 180lbs. Starting taking this with exercise and eating right (I don't go to the gym). Have lost a little over 20 lbs in a month. If you eat right and take this product it will do wonders for you. Want to be about 125lbs my old healthy weight. I will reach there and want to reach that before July 3rd."


"I was not happy about this drug at all. It made me feel SO lazy and tired. Zero effect on my mood; in fact, I was in a worse mood since I had zero energy."


"Woke up coughing from a colonoscopy in which propofol was used. My mouth was filled with mucus, my nose was full and running (used 1/2 box of tissues),my throat was horribly painful and when the doctor came to see what was wrong I couldn't tell him because I now had laryngitis and couldn't be understood.  No one ever suctioned my mouth.  It is now two days later and my voice is coming back, my throat is getting better, my nose is clear but I am still coughing up mucus. I will need to have it checked because I don't want to be diagnosed with aspirated pneumonia which is a common side effect. I will never use this drug again. Have had two other colonoscopies in the past and had no side effects. Ask for another drug."


"My PCP suggested I take this to help with severe congestion. I took 3 doses of the 12 hours (max strength) at the prescribed intervals. Basically one that afternoon, then one the next morning and one that evening. That night I COULD NOT SLEEP.  I have never had problems sleeping, and usually could find some way to read for a bit or do a relaxation exercise in the event it took longer than normal.

I'm normally asleep by 10 or 11. It's now 4 am, I am not one bit sleepy and I have to get up for work in 2 hours. Should be an interesting day."


"I was worried about side effects after reading the reviews online, but happy to report that my side effects were very minimal. I actually really liked what bydureon did for my blood sugars and my weight loss. It also curbed my appetite without giving me really really bad heartburn.

Unfortunately that's where the good news ends for me. I have a few doses left but I just can't take the pain. It is a significantly wider needle than Tanzeum that I was on before (can't afford it anymore), and the actual injection hurts a lot. I find that I have to inject a little at a time. Not to mention that prepping the injection is a pain in the @$$. As soon as they figure out a better different delivery system I wouldn't hesitate to get back on Bydureon."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"No side effects at all."


"Sertraline has actually filled in the gaps where Citalopram failed. However, bowel movements have become a tentative almost ambivalent arrangement but so far that is the worst of the side effects for me personally. Although I do have dark days, the dogs don't bark quite so loudly or for so long. Sertraline has given me the ability to stop thinking about the things I am troubled by and focus on what I want to do and what I want to be with perspicacity and belief in myself and to accept the fact that it's okay to have such medication to treat depression in exactly the same way that it is okay to have HRT for menopause or insulin to treat diabetes. Stick with it."


"Taltz caused severe swelling the size of hockey pucks that lasted an entire week at injection sites for the initial two injections (mid thigh). Thought is was just my body adjusting to the new medication but upon week #2 injection, an even worse reaction! Same "hockey puck" under my skin  as week #1 & spread to 8" hardened "pancake" under the skin with redness, severe swelling, itching (for a week and counting).  It is painful and radiating heat, an under the skin "hive". My doctor believes I may be reacting to a certain protein often used in injections. I was on Stelara=no improvement, tried Humira and had some improvement but problems getting product shipped at proper refrigerated temps and flimsy injections needing to be replaced."


"I've had this product in my arm for about 5 months now got it just after my son was born. Because of some issues with preeclampsia during the pregnancy, my doctor suggested I get on a birth control ASAP. Since I'm not good with remembering pills we decided to try this product and work on some weight loss over 2 year time span so I can be at a healthy weight for my next pregnancy. So it does work and have not had any bleeding which is great that's why I give it a 2. The other reason I give it a 2 is because I've gained 60 pounds in these five months and now working extra hard to lose the weight which was the whole reason why I got on the birth control in the first place."


"Took two weeks for Zoloft to kick in . Started on 100 mg made me too nervous dropped to 50mg , seems to work better for me. Also take 1 mg Ativan at night for Restless Leg Syndrome and to help with sleep . No bad effects from either , slight nausea with Zoloft on empty stomach . Anxiety hit me hard and sudden . It is a terrible experience !"


"I've taken this drug for a month now and I love it. I had an abortion before I starred this drug and this lessened my bleeding. My skin is fine, it never was unclear. My weight is actually going down but I'm open to that changing later. No vomiting, headaches, random nausea, or mood swings. My sex drive has been the same, through the roof. Only thing that I've noticed is my sensitivity to salty foods. I've always gotten sodium headaches if I've eaten to much salt through out the day but now it's a bit more sensitive to alot of chips, too much gravy, and popeyes chicken. Either than that... I LOVE IT!"


"I recently stopped biodentical pellets and decided to try vivelle-dot .05 mg.  It totally stopped my migraines; however, this dose did not help with insomnia or hot flashes and I suspect my GP will increase the dose.  Now, my insurance will not cover the cost at all because I am over 65.  Through a friend, I found that the manufacturer, Novartis, makes this patch in Europe under the name of Estradot.  I ordered it online with a prescription.  The difference is $32/month compared to $286/month for Vivelle-dot in US.  When I opened the packet, they appear identical and work the same.  Once my dose is adjusted I think these will be fine."


"Impossible to keep weight off. Been on my period for 1.5 months. Dry skin. Irrititable mood. Terrible drug. Having it removed. Been on it 4 months"


"I drank for over 30 years until my psychiatrist recommended Campral.  What a God send.  I lost my desire for alcohol within a few months but remained on the drug for over a year.  I decided on my own to stop the drug and have not drunk any alcohol for well over three years.  In my view, this is an amazing drug, and of course, I am grateful beyond words for it."


"You have to be very careful taking this drug! I know the days with Roxy's were  hell but I can't remember which is worse !It's just another drug! I remember when I first got on it I was so excited because I was living a life of hell but 5 years later it is nice not to go to the street and I actually have a doctor but that's the only advantage. I'm still addicted to drugs is a tough pill to swallow !pun very intentional"


"Took this for a skin infection. Sort of worked for the infection. Caused major side effects. Skin rash, headaches, irritability, depression, lowered sex drive. It’s been two days since stopping it and I still feel bad. I don’t recommend this drug."


"I got mine in April 2014, since then I have had constant periods, head aches, acne, and my arm where the implant us very very sensitive. I would definitely get it taken out if it wasn't for the fact I don't want a child and my boyfriend likes me having it so we are worry free. But knowing I can't go a week with out at least spotting makes me more then depresed. I HATE having to wear a panty liner ALL the time. I don't recommend it. Get the shots every 3 months. I believe I am about to make the switch"


"Been on this BC for about 2nd or 3rd month now and never had a problem until this month thought it could of been different reasons but now that I look at the reviews people have had similar problems period usually last maximum normal 5 days and its been over 10 days spotting most annoying thing in the world still debating on changing to different BC..."


"I am a 75 year old male who has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.  I have been taking 1mg of Lorazepam at bedtime for 7 yrs now and I am able to sleep."


"Started 6/1/14. Down 18.8 pounds. Highest weight 385lbs.
 Because of how big I have gotten and some knee and foot injuries, I've not started exercising yet. I want to loose a little more so I can feel like it.
But these pills...the first week I could have moved mountains. I had so much energy and insomnia. But that has subsided. I take 37.5mg A half a pill 30 minutes or longer before breakfast. Another half depending on what time I have gotten up, and another half about an hour before supper. If I don't take that last half pill I won't make it until bed time. And right before bed is when I ate the most. No cravings. No sweets or snacks. Only 3 meals a day. I do get hungry. But as long as its working a little hunger ain't going to bother me."


"the first few years i was prescribed imitrex i thought it was a miracle drug. now after ten years i find that i need to add excedrine migraine with it and i still have residual pain. still...it sure beats a full blown migraine."


"I have been taking this medication for a month now and have noticed a big difference in the amount of times I go to the bathroom.  It is great, but like with all the other medications you must watch the amount of caffeine you intake because it doesn't work as well.  Caffeine will relax the muscle, but if I drink water or anything caffeine free I am fine. I can drink up to 3-4 glasses and still be ok. It worked better than all the others I've been put on."


"I am at the end of my 3rd week on Saxenda. I will increase to 2.2mg tonight. I have lost 12 lbs. I am never hungry. I have been using My Fitness Pal to track and count calories. I find I have to force myself to eat most days, especially the two days after an increase in med. The first couple of weeks I had a headache every morning. It has since subsided. I do take my shot at night before bed so I can sleep through any nausea I might have. No other real side effects.  I pay $125 out of pocket/month."


"My 9 year old daughter is being treated for Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. She has been taking the HUMIRA injection for 2 months now. She has shown a major improvement; she used to spike a very high temp. (103-106) now it's in the normal rage, but the only thing is that the injection is very painful to her. It is a wonder drug."


"I was so glad when my doctor started me on the Enbrel shots. I wasn't sure it would work considering my body was totally covered.  Although it started in my head but it wasn't long before it made it's way all over my body. I started the shots in Aug/2008 and by Nov/2008 I didn't look like anything was ever wrong with my skin."


"I have been on it for only two months now, and i absolutely LOVE it.  I have been through complete hell with my periods.  I get severe cramping and bloating for up to two weeks and have tried many different pills with NO luck.  This is the first birth control that has reduced any cramping at all, and now I barely get cramps.  Other pills made me extremely moody, but this one hasnt given me mood swings at all.  I also had problems with spotting on other birth control pills, but not on this one.  My periods are much lighter than before."


"This medication is amazing. I started at 5mg and am on 150mg now. It's changed my life tremendously. I also haven't gained any weight from it. (I was originally on Zyprexa and had gained 50 pounds) In fact, Lamictal has helped me lose weight and stabilize my weight. I love this medication so much because life is 1000x more manageable and I never knew I could feel this way. I was so close to ending my life and this medication saved me along with learning DBT skills. However, it was really uncomfortable until I got stabilized on the 150mg. Going up to 200mg also made me too numb. I recommend this medication most definitely as someone who has gone through the awful trial and error of testing medications."


"So I've been taking this for about a month and a half now and I have recieved pregnancy symptoms of course. Even when I took the pill I felt them but that patch is worse I learned putting the patch on my thigh doesn't irritate my skin unless I  put it any where on my upper body overall now that im getting used to it I really do like it better then reminding myself  of taking a pill and I actually started loosing weight from it"


"I've been on this a little over 6 months and haven't had any issues with it... Still not pregnant (I take it religiously every day at noon) and cramps are minimal but I DO have painful gas at times.  Was hoping acne would go away but no such luck there... Nor did I "suffer" from larger breasts so that was a let down.  Overall, not a bad product"


"This drug finally gave me peaceful rest."


"Great for Pain but Never Stop taking it without being Dosed down slowly"


"After a few days on vyvance I started sleeping only 2-4 hours a night, then my doctor raised my dosage, now I was on 30 mg. And then a few weeks pass and I started to get really aggressive, yelling at people when I got just a little mad (like if someone accidentally bumped into me while walking down the hallway)

And if that wasn't bad enough, I still couldn't focus in school.

and the longer I took it the worse my sleep pattern got. I started staying up about 40 hours at a time and sleeping for about 8 hours, And then finally my parents decided to take action and take me off of it.

it took me about 7 months to get back to sleeping on a regular schedule"


"Fetzima has to be the worst drug I've ever taken for my depression. I had been on moderate doses of Prozac for 8 years prior until the drug no longer affected me beneficially. The fetzima had positive effects at first, but I think it was a placebo effect. A month into taking the drug I still felt depression and frequently spaced out/felt a mental fog. The physical symptoms also presented themselves. I began to have frequent urgencies to urinate but could not. Always a false alarm. A few week later I developed a clear discharge which I thought was the result of an STD. My results came back negative for all STDs. I have been off the drug for about two months and all side effects are no longer present."


"Love it!"


"so good! i always seem to get rashes on the sides of my neck, i apply the cream to the affected areas at night, wake up and it's almost completely gone! if i apply it just once more that night and wake up my rash is completely gone! definitely recommend this cream to anyone suffering w/ eczema or ramdom rashes appearing on their skin!"


"I have been taking this for 2 years now and it has been the best thing to happen to me. It was only when I had had bad suicidal thoughts that my doctor finally realized I had bipolar. They just kept saying I was depressed but to be fair I never told them how bad it was until I had a complete breakdown. After being admitted to the hospital I had to speak to a Councillor and was a few seconds away from being sectioned under the mental health act that they realized I was worse than what I was originally saying. Venlafaxine has made my life and my kids life better. I am on 225mg per day 75mg night and 150mg mornings."


"I tried Lexapro prior to Celexa and it really revved up my anxiety.  I was afraid Celexa would do the same since it is almost the same medication, but Celexa seemed to calm me down a bit. I believe that was because of the inactive part of it.  It is only the first day but I feel subdued. My main problem was restlessness, so I needed an antidepressant that would settle me down more so than perk me up.  Settling down would essentially perk me up. If that makes sense. So far so good."


"About 16 years ago I began having severe vomiting and some abdominal pain with my period. My symptoms were debilitating monthly for 3-5 days and greatly limited my daily activities. I tried over the counter remedies such as Advil, Tylenol, Naproxen and Pamprin none of which did anything to alleviate my symptoms. Then I tried Ponstel. My mother had been taking Ponstel for years for the same problems so we thought it was worth a try. What a difference it made! It took the edge off the pain and totally relieved the vomiting. To be the most effective, it does have to be taken at the onset or just before the onset of symptoms. The only down side to it is that insurance companies don't want to cover it, and it isn't cheap."


"Horrible.  I never felt so bad in my life.. and never thought such horrible thoughts about myself and life.. I don't recommend this horrible medication at all!"


"I have moderate to severe rosacea and it is the best for me."


"Extreme diarrhea"


"I'm 16 and currently beginning my second month of accutane. Before I started my acne was hardly severe, but it was there and I wanted it gone. During the first month my acne became the worst it had ever been, but I wouldn't give up and it gradually began to clear up. I've experienced no severe side effects other than dryness everywhere. I now have about as much acne as I did when I started the treatment but I'm hoping in a few months the results will be worth it."


"I have been taking this medication for about 3 weeks, and I am using a generic over the counter brand.  When I started the medication, I was told to be prepared for some slight constipation.  What I wasn't told was that this medication would cause me terrible diarrhea.  For the last week and a half I have been having watery diarrhea 5-7 times a day, and this side effect is more negative and has impaired my life more than the anemia did.  Got off the medication 3 days ago, but the diarrhea still hasn't stopped, and doesn't show any signs of stopping soon either.  Wanted to write this review for anyone who was only told to expect constipation like I was, it isn't always the case!!"


"I have used altace for 5 yrs now and have found it does have an affect on having or keeping an erection but my bp pretty much stays at 130/80"


"I have not gotten my period just like I haven't before which is why I decided to go on Nexplanon due to the pregnancy scares from not getting my period all the time. One thing that sucks about it is my sex drive, I don't get turned on easily and I'm not  "wet" like I used to. I just got it about a month ago so hopefully nothing bad occurs besides that."


"While it is effective in that I have not gotten pregnant, it has not been an overall positive experience for me.. Since getting Nexplanon 3 months ago, my period has come about every week and a half and then between the periods I'm almost constantly spotting. I called to see about having it removed but the doctor said that many women stop getting their periods after the first six months so she advised that I wait until the end of the year to remove it. If I'm still spotting and having these miserable periods by the end of the year I will definitely get it removed although I am hoping they stop so I can keep it because I like not having to worry about getting pregnant or needing on-hand contraception with me. It takes away the worry factor."


"This pill has been pretty good for me. It is a lower hormones dose than the many other pills I tried before, which gave me bad side effects. I had mild nausea and headaches with this pill for the first 3 months but that's it. I have gained about 25 pounds in the 2 years I've used it but I don't mind it as much as some other people. My sex drive has gone down a tiny bit but nothing noticeable. I have sex frequently, using this as my only protection method, and I haven't had a pregnancy scare (granted, I am very good at taking it on time). This pill isn't perfect, but its definitely the best one I've tried!"


"59 yo male. Frequent night urination not able to void the bladder completely. Doc put me on Rapaflo and the symptoms vanished within 48 hours. Able to orgasm but not ejaculate. Climax not as strong."


"Whenever I have a flare-up I take 100 mg twice a day and it quickly resolves the problem and my skin looks wonderful.  I take a lot a other medications for allergies and high blood pressure and this has never interfered with any of them."


"I took the tablets after being on all forms of Dexedrine, Ritalin, Adderral, etc. It had no side effects, but was not as big a deal as it is made out to be. Dextroamphetamine spansules (brand SKF) are far more effective and long-lasting for ADHD, which I've dealt with."


"I took 1 tablet of Atarax last night for my HIVES. I asked for an anti-histamine that can also help me to sleep bcos I have not been sleeping for 4 nights straight due to the itchiness from my hives. So this was suggested by my doctor. I managed to sleep through the night for over 9 hours - the alarm didn't manage to wake me until my 2nd super loud alarm! I was awake BUT I wasn't really AWAKE! I felt like I can doze off any second. Unless you want to sleep thru 24-hours maybe this is good for you but I won't be taking it the 2nd time. I felt horrible for the whole day! My mind was not functioning, I felt groggy, not alert at all, walk like zombie, it was just bad for me. I like to feel AWAKE! Not like this. My suggestion: Take with CAUTION!"


"Most of my life I have struggled with severe panic attacks, general anxiety, PTSD & moderate depression. Been on meds twice before until I felt better & then I would stop taking them. This last time it had been close to a year that I had been suffering again before I decided to reluctantly go back on meds. I tried Celexa again- it worked kinda okay in the past but this time it made no improvement for me. Saw the doc who switched me to Prozac- all I can say is WOW! Best yet- I feel like my old, happy self after only 1 month! 10mg the first week, 15 the second and 20mg the last two. Give it time to work & be patient- it might make you feel a bit off & not better at first, but it is a miracle drug. These bad feelings will pass hang in there!"
