"works great I can't live with out it"


"This inhaler has caused my family much grief. IT DOES NOT WORK. IT WILL NOT RESCUE. We used it for two days as we watched our child's condition steadily worsen to a full blown attack two days ago. A call the pediatric respiratory specialist prompted a prescription for the aerosol version of proair. After just one use of the aerosol replacement inhaler, our child's condition quickly improved. I am SO glad we were able to get back to the aerosol inhaler."


"3 months on drug. No noticeable side effects. Amazing results, even doctor was shocked. Combined levels before using Repatha over 260. With Repatha 108.  More importantly LDL levels dropped to 28. Did not change eating habits at all to get these results."


"I started Wellbutrin 5 days ago. The first night I felt like my heart was racing and pounding but it went away the next day. Then at work for the past 2 days I have been sweating excessivley and getting the feeling that I need to sit. Last night after taking the medication for 5 days I had the feeling that my head weighed a 1000 pounds and I just felt so dizzy, lightheaded, and weak I could barely walk right. I went to lay down to sleep and all of a sudden I couldn't swallow and was gasping for air. It was so scary. I just couldn't catch my breath. I could feel my throat closing up. I was rushed to E.R and they found I was having an allergic reaction to it."


"I've been on Wellbutrin XL 150mg for 7 weeks now (adult ADD and comorbid depression). I experienced some of the common side effects such as dry mouth and loss of appetite, but everything came back to normal after a few weeks. Sadly, I haven't noticed much change in terms of mood or attention/focus... It hasn't worsened but it hasn't improved either. Then again I know this is a low dose. I saw my doctor today and he switched my prescription to Wellbutrin XL 300mg. I'm starting tomorrow and I hope it will work better for me. I'm eager to give it another try since I've seen a lot of positive reviews on here :)"


"I will never even look at those pills again. Took in the morning, and by the evening every side effect hit me like a sledgehammer. Got a couple hours of sleep last night when I wasn't living in my bathroom and after experiencing the most disturbing dreams in my life I would rather have stayed awake. Who invented something so diabolical???"


"I have IBS-C, which leads to IBS-D... So instead of the harsh laxatives like ducolax or others that cause cramping and extreme discomfort before a huge trip to the bathroom, I tried "Lax a day". I put the 17 grams in my lactose free chocolate milk and drank it.  1) no taste or chalky feeling

2) a bit tummy gurgle after taking it but it settled down 3) took approx 9 hours (evening took it and had a bowel movement this morning).. A NORMAL ONE!  Honestly only those who have suffered with these issues can understand and appreciate how exciting it is to find something like this that isn't hard on your body and works fairly fast.  10 out of 10,  hands down."


"Great medicine. I used Symbyax 3/25 before for depression and it helped a lot. I am taking it now for bipolar it has helped a lot really. The bad thing is the excess appetite, weight gains. But I don't care about the weight as long as it helps me out."


"I have been on Epclusa for 10 weeks. No side effects, and was undetectable at week 5. I just found out it came back so I am not really hopeful right now about being cured. How does it come back while I'm taking the medication?"


"Applying it once a day every day for five days is easier than I at first thought.  Luckily the sites are on my shoulder blade area so I can reach them.  Had they been in the middle or lower down I would not be able to apply the cream.  After a few days the skin turned to sore welts which crusted. It is uncomfortable sleeping sometimes too.  Last week (after two full weeks of treatment) I had to miss a day's application because the sore were too painful.  I still have many more weeks to continue and I really want to stop, but I shall persist."


"I had issues every day before. Now, I have almost NO issues, and have noticed no side effects."


"I do not mind having to mix the medicine, but the needle size is so large (not long) that I am finding it hard to insert it into my stomach.  I am a coward and tend to insert the needle slowly instead of fast."


"At first, I thought Nexplanon was great. The insertion didn't hurt, my insurance covered the entire cost, and I nearly eliminated my chances of getting pregnant for three years. But then the side-effects kicked in. The first couple of months I didn't have a period, but I did have severe mood swings and anxiety. I have seen a significant decrease in my sex drive. And now, six months into the b/c, I have spotting and cramps nearly everyday. On the plus side, I haven't noticed any weight gain, and my acne has cleared up.

This is a great option for those whose bodies agree with Nexplanon. Mine, however, does not seem to. I'm thinking about getting it removed, but I'm not sure which b/c method to switch to."


"I decided to give Apri a 10/10 score because I've been on this pill for 11 months now and had absolutely no issues with it. As for clearing acne, my acne was already starting to fade away before taking the pill so I haven't had too many issues. I still break out sometimes before my period is due. My boyfriend and I have not used any back up method of birth control and I haven't gotten pregnant...so I suppose it's doing its job. But of course, I realize we still SHOULD be using a back up method. Before getting on this pill, I used to have horrible cramping and very heavy periods, lasting as long as 10 days. Now I have short, pain-free periods that last usually from Thursday to Saturday (or very light on Sunday when I begin my new pack.)"


"This has been a miracle medication for me. The cost is a bit high, but the benefits out way the cost. I receive the same benefits as I do from Prednisone, however, with none of the side effects. It works very fast for me. I really think people who have to use prednisone should reconsider and try this medication for moderate flairs.  I have had Crohn's disease for 33 years, this is the only medication (except prednisone) that has worked ever so well. "


"Gave me hives so couldn't take for long. No good for me!!"


"Was on Metformin 1000 / 2x day and 70 insulin Lantis. Started Invokana and immediately lost 5 lbs. After a few months on same dose, have lost about 15 lbs.

Yes, I admit there are some side effects, such as frequent urination and some yeast issues. However, this is to be expected. Being on this medication, we are told we are to drink over 100 ounces of water every day. I agree and then some. Keeps things flowing, but this is the way it works. No GI issues from this med, however Metformin does cause some GI issues when skipping a dose or two.

Remember, too, that this - or any- medication is not for everyone. We need to try different ones to find the one right for our body. I think I have found mine!"


"This medication is great for my chronic back pain. I have been on the same dose for over two years and it helped me get through most of the day just on two 20mg pills. Lately it has stopped working as well and I am having a lot of breakthrough pain as the OXycontin is extended release and from it working for almost 6 hours per dose it now only helps for about 2 hours. It is great if you are also given something for breakthrough pain but I cannot imagine being off of it to be honest. I have had severe chronic lower back pain due to a pinched nerve which causes shooting pain that goes up and down my spine and even causes my legs to go numb. I also have carpal tunnel in my right hand and fibromyalgia. Overall this medication has been very helpful."


"After 8 years on Zoladex I became resistant to it and my PSA started to increase. Casodex has brought it back down. I did have Major Prostate Removal surgery."


"I must be one of the rare ones.This medication was to be a resolution to constant pain from a pulled muscle in my face and neck after oral surgery. I was instructed to take 1-5MG tablet twice daily for 1 month. I take it 2 hours before bed, and by bedtime, I'm so wired and jittery, I have to stay up to avoid keeping my spouse up.  I also have restless leg syndrome, spells were rare until this. After taking 1 tablet, I will spend the next 4 to 6 hours, pacing, as it seems to cause prolonged restless leg syndrome spells. The feeling seems to affect my arms as well, so I have this need to shake my hands/arms violently. Now, completely exhausted, I have to fight through the pain in my face still to sleep. I no longer take it."


"Likewise. As others here have posted, I had an L-4 / L-5 issue. It required a lumbarectomy in 1995. I also have no ability to control myself from over doing dosage with medicines that have mind altering effects.  My doctor knew this and prescribed skelaxin "as needed" and a daily stretching regimin. "As needed"  has been very controlable, even for me (with my weakness for over use). My pain is relieved and my mind stays clear."


"Hello , I'm an 19 y/o and I've been on this medication for almost 2 months now. Since I've taken it I have extreme nightmares and weird sleeping patterns, all this time I've thought that it was helping me but in reality it has broken my life into piece. I'm can't sleep on a normal pattern and having lack off sleep which has caused me to become irritable and not have a clear train of thought. If yourself or anyone you know is taking this medication PLEASE monitor their behavior and sleep pattern."


"So this is my first time getting a yeast infection, and initially it was just mild. A day ago a friend of mine recommended this product, so I decided to give it a try. Yeaterday around 2 pm I inserted the ointment inside my vagina and then applied it on my vulva. At 2:10, my life changed forever... The itching and burning felt UNBEARABLE. It was as though a colony of furious and uncontrollable fire ants were having a war inside my vagina. At times, I couldn't help but to release my pain and scream. My eyes watered as my vagina felt like it was melting right off of my body. My poor vagina. This was a flaming hot traredy. No YI cream is worth this fire."


"I finally got diagnosed with Lupus two years ago after going to many doctors that couldn't find anything wrong with me. I knew that my extreme chronic fatigue wasn't normal. After 5 years of different doctors one did an ANA test and my Lupus was 1:674 which is very high. I started the vyvanse 20 for a month and didn't help then went to 40 for about a year now  on 50mg. I take it at 7 am and I can feel it kick in about 9:30. It keeps me awake and able to do what needs to be done. Some days I feel the vyvanse work better than others. If I eat a high protein breakfast it always does better. No OJ or acid drinks or fruit. It makes the vyvanse not work well. It's expensive if u don't have insurance, try Adderral 20 instant its the same & cheaper"


"I have been on Lexapro for years, it has worked great. The trouble is finding a good medicine to use in combination with it. Abilify is a good one."


"I've been in the pill about 3 months , I switched from Nuvaring which was a nightmare so at first I was glad there were way less strong side effects. However I started birth control pills at 140lbs 3 months later I now weigh 157 . I am constantly bloated and I want to eat like I'm pregnant all the time. I also experience extreme mood swings which I'm sure are because of the pill ( my boyfriend noticed too)  My sex drive is almost non existent on top of severe vaginal dryness. I also have cramps every time I get up suddenly , which although they are way less painful than the Nuvaring ones they are constant. Lets just say I'm getting off this pill next month & definitely excited ."


"This drug gave me drug induced lupus"


"I've been using this medicine because I have a very large kidney stone. Unfortunately I'm caught between a rock and a hard place.  If I stop the medicine, passing the stones could be painful. But the side effects I'm having are just about as bad. I have to monitor my food intake because Flexeril makes me nauseous all the time. If I eat the wrong food or don't keep food on my stomach I throw up.  When I was in the hospital I couldn't figure out why I threw up all the time. I'm not on any other medicines at the moment and this has to be the cause.  In the evening, just before I take the medicine again I've noticed the nausea is gone and I start to feel better.  But it all comes back with a vengeance once I take that pill again."


"This is a miracle for me. Cluster headaches would put me out of commission for 2 days. Imitrex gets rid of the intense pain of my eye feeling like it might pop out of my head! The first few times I took it I had side effects of the heavy feeling on my chest and in my muscles after 3x I can take with no side effects. I've only taken it 5x  but still working great."


"Worked amazing.  Talking to the nurse then my next conscious moment was being told it was over.  That was about 7 hours ago - still a bit tired and sleepy."


"This product works wonders! I've had horrible acne for a long time, I tried everything from spot treatments, acne washes, masks anything. I finally went to the dermatologist and got prescribed Epiduo and Cetaphil face wash. After 3 months or so, it was a dramatic change. I no longer have acne, however, there will be a few little pimples though. The only side effect is if you put too much on or put it on too often, it will cause dry irritated skin. Overall, it's a great product!"


"I tried contrave, I felt sick, I have stomach ache and heart palpitations. All this and only taking 1 pill.  I left it for a day as I had just got back from an overseas trip and thought Jetlag might have been an issue.  I took one today and I've found I'm more hungry than normal and my  stomach feels off.  Will not be taking any more not worth the issues it is causing."


"I had it implanted in October of 2013. I didn't have a period at all for the first year and then the week of the one year mark I got one. Totally normal about 5 days just like my periods before getting pregnant. From then (oct 2014 to now June of 2015 I've had a period about every 3-4 months. They are totally normal or very light. That part has been GREAT! The negative side effects I've seen have been some break outs on my face, mild mood swings and irritability. But it hasn't ever gotten bad enough to make me want to get it removed. I have sex regularly and it has done its job. No babies. And I also started losing weight after being on it. I would say this is a great choice if you don't wanna worry about taking a pill every day!"


"Took 30 mg Actos for 8 or so months was very happy with it at first. It did lower my numbers but...I had so many bad side effects. Weight gain, chronic fatigue, swelling, urgent need to urinate, watery eyes, and pain. I could barley get up my steps. I stopped taking this medicine myself and I feel as if I have been raised from the dead. "


"I've had mirena for about a year now, everything was perfectly fine until about 3 months ago. I've had very bad pain and cramping, it gives me mood swings, no energy to do anything,

And sharp pains while  having intercourse. I'm getting it taken out next month,

It's too much of a pain ...

Anyone suggests any better BC ??"


"Had back surgery. Disc replacement. Back spine fusion."


"Have been on 350mg for the past three years. It has stopped the feeling of daily dread and pain in my chest that I felt for so long before. I still have little energy through the day but can "pull it together" for my time with my kids or to do important tasks. I have gained fifty pounds. I have a difficult time reaching orgasm.  "


"I have been on and off Nuvaring for the past...oh, maybe five years.  Before that I did the pill and HATED IT.  I was always forgetting to take it, and would count the pack at the end of the month and freak out.  With the Nuvaring I never had that problem, just stuck it in and was good to go.  Occasionally, the weeks would slip by and I'd forget when I put it in, but overall it wasn't too bad.
I wanted to write a good review about Nuvaring because it is a wonderful product.  In all the years I had it, I didn't really gain weight, or see a big change in my skin, or experience major mood swings.  Just try it and see if it works for you."


"I have been on this pill for a while now and I've had no terrible experiences. I was put on it to control my period which was nonstop for three months and now I'm barely having a period when I take the inactive pills. It's very effective and easy to take. On occasion I've experienced spotting or irregular periods because I've forgotten to take it once or twice. I've had no nausea and I had some mood issues but that went away for me within the first three months, it took my body about three months to adapt to the pill completely so it takes a while but it works very well."


"I had my period for 3 months straight after getting the Implanon. But now after 8 months I have NOT gained weight or gotten a period. And I have not gotten pregnant. It has made me more sleepy though which is ok."


"I've been on diethylpropion 75mg for 12 weeks have lost 1 and half stones in weight.  I got an eating programme with the medication... was 13.5 now 12 stone no problems on the medication.  Very pleased woman."


"I started taking Loseasonique because my doctor suggested I do so. Every month just before my period I get a horrible headache that last about three days and nothing I take will make it go away. It has really began to interfere with my life. My doctor said that it was an estrogen withdrawal headache and there is nothing that could really be done. However, he said that if I only had a period once every three months I would only have to tolerate the headache once every three months. I have now been on my first three month pack for six weeks and I have started bleeding, cramping and yes, I have the headache. I have been tired, very emotional and have had migraines since I started LoSeasonique."


"I was on two 15 mg spanuals a day. I felt great when I began taking them. Way more focused not just at home but at school too. My grades had improved tremendously. I had absolutely. No troubles with this medication. I was taking dexedrine. For a little over 10 years. Due to my other meds I now take I'm unable to continue to take dexedrine. I would recommend. Dexedrine to an adult or child."


"Probably one of the worst decisions I have made in my adult life. I have always had great skin and on this medication it exploded with both random dryness and severe acne. My emotions were a roller coaster (more than just normal girl stuff). My sex drive plummeted. Constant spotting. Yeah It prevented me from getting pregnant probably because I was always on my period. All in all bad experience."


"I was on it for 6 months. I listened to everyone, doctor included giving it the fair trial to allow it to adjust in my system. However, the end result was worse then how it started. Within the 1st week on the pill my mood swings were absurd and my sex drive gone. I started my period  only for it to last 12 days and continued having 2 periods a month and constant brown discharge. I have been off this pill for 2 months still waiting for all of the side effects to taper off.  My skin stayed the same, acne was never a problem. My chest stayed the same. I didn't gain any weight but I had far too many emotional "fat" days!"


"What a difference the Oxytrol patch has made in my life. I was having to go to the bathroom 10 to 12 times in an afternoon. Since using the patches, I only go about 4 times. I have had no side effects."


"I started using estring ring a little over a month and a half ago. I was unsure if I really wanted to walk around for 90 days with this object in my vagina. I thought I would be able to feel it. I was so totally wrong! Finally after having it in my possession for a month I finally inserted it and waited for results. Menopause had caused my vagina  walls to become thinner and dryer. Sex with my husband was frustrating! I still wanted to be intimate but my vagina was not cooperating! So here we are at the almost 2 month mark, and I am totally satisfied with my ring! My walls seem to have more elasticity, lubrication, and it feels like it belongs to me again!! I do not feel it at all, and my husband says it does not bother him."


"I've never been so happy in my life. It's not a fake, life is strangely perfect happiness. It's not the "I'm in my head, three feet away from everything and no one knows me" feeling I've gotten from previous antidepressants. I feel balanced and for the first time in my life (I'm 28, female) feel like I am actually coming from a well-grounded place. As others have said, when a dose is late or missed, the effects are pretty awful. The longer I've been on it though they are getting less intense. The first few times I was late, I became very quickly, extremely depressed, lethargic, dizzy, nauseous and irritable. I was having shooting lightening like feelings in my brain that would cause me to stop dead in my tracks and look pretty crazy."


"Medication probably is working, only on day 3 of 14 day course for C diff.  I don't have the stomach cramps and diarrhea any more which is wonderful.  The nausea, vomiting, body aches, and headache are all kicking in now.  This morning barely made it to the bathroom to throw up, had the dry heaves for quite a while.  With the aweful taste in your mouth it is hard to drink or eat.  Nothing tastes good.  Even water has a yucky taste.  Going to keep pushing forward, but next time I am prescribed an antiobiotic I am going to be taking a probiotic along with it.  Wish my doctor or pharmacist mentioned this when first medication was prescribed."


"After 17 seizures in 1 week, 15 years of epilepsy and absolutely NO life, within only a few days, a total change came over me with this medicine. I actually started getting my brain back, depression lifted, I went SWIMMING(!). Not a seizure yet, I am not unrealistic, although at a low dose, I am cautiously optimistic. The insomnia is somewhat relentless, back pain too, & my appetite is insatiable."


"Worked the way it should at first, then I had my period every day for months. The doctor told me to "keep waiting" so I dealt with that for so long before I went to a different doctor to get it taken out. It was effective, but I was bleeding every day for 6 months and they didn't want me to take it out. I no longer go to that doctor. Also it cost 600 dollars and I was told my insurance would cover it, it did not. Terrible, frustrating experience. Left 2 dark scars as well."


"QVAR worked very well for me, better than other steroid inhalers.  Too bad it is so expensive."


"I started Avastin in November of 2009 after my spinal cord tumor started growing again. I was diagnosed with brain cancer in February 2009. The tumor is in my spinal cord, not in my brain. It effects my right leg. Makes it weak. I had surgery and went through radiation and chemo in April. The tumor was shrinking all summer and then started to grow again. In November 2009, I started Avastin as an addition to the existing Chemo called Temodar. As soon as I started Avastin, the tumor started to shrink, but my symptoms got way worse. So, I have a shrinking tumor, but side effects that are worse. "


"Zanaflex is great for muscle spasms as I have them from Osteoarthritis in my spine, also spinal stenosis. If you are on any heart meds, please use the interactions checker because it may cause severe drops in blood pressure. I am taking Lisinopril, Hydrochlorothiazide and Metoprolol for heart arrhythmias and my blood pressure was dropping to dangerous levels. All of my specialists knew what medicines I was taking, but none of them noticed the interactions. I checked them myself here at Drugs.com and found the RED FLAGS myself, so be careful."


"I used sprintec for about a year and a half and I gained and immense amount of weight. Side effects would include sore breasts and nausea if I had to start over because I forgot. The week I stopped taking sprintec I lost about 5lb and it's been about a year since I've been off sprintec and without even trying I lost 45 pounds. I also had very bad mood swings and became very emotional. On the good side my acne cleared up and my period was light and only lasted 4-5 days."


"It has been a good 12 months since I have been taking the 40mg. I can say that I feel better when I am on this and also the important thing, after about the 8th month or so all the side effects are pretty much nonexistent."


"Will it took me off the streets n allowed me to live a normal working man's life. I still don't use. Just have a good sub.   My Doctor knows his shit. I feel the post about the teeth deterioration.. Been on 2 yrs. They got bad. Methadone was worse"


"Made my heart feel as if it were slowing down. I got confused and experienced heavy breathing."


"My doctor just prescribed this medication for me to use until my surgery. I am to take two 650mg tablets up to 3 times daily as needed. It is to be taken only during my menstrual cycle and not to exceed 5 days. I am always nervous and reluctant to take new medications. Yesterday I took my first dose when I was experiencing an extremely heavy menstrual flow and was getting very faint. I did not expect it to work so quickly! I saw a reduction of blood flow very quickly. I have taken  only two more doses and I am still pleasantly surprised. I have noticed absolutely no side affects. "


"My Mom got this shot a month ago and her life has been hell.  Extreme pain that she ended up in the hospital getting injections for pain and on morphine.  Extreme headaches to where she can not function along with god awful headaches.  Jaw pain, muscle cramps, fevers, stomach issues, bladder issues. short time memory issues, and with all this happening she is now depressed from all the issues which now gives her anxiety wondering if these will go away or not.  The sad thing is that not all the symptoms right after the shot.  They show up weeks later and no one can tell you how long they will last,"


"I was wheezing with a constant cough. Asthma brought on by cold weather, exercise, or allergic situations. This all left after one week of use. No apparent side effects."


"I am a female, 25. I made a mistake and had unprotected sex with two guys back in  November. I found the first tiny warts by the end of December. After 5 weeks they became medium size and that's when I started worrying. I thought my sexual life was over.  I went to see the doctor and she prescribed Aldara. It has been only a week but I already see them shrink. They itch, burn and hurt but I can tolerate it. If it's really bad, I apply a herbal ointment which is good for healing wounds and burns. If it's dry, I apply the soothing cream for intimate care. They really help. I apply very small amount of Aldara only on the affected area. I  had a sex the day after applying and it didn't cause significant discomfort or pain."


"Excellent, just do not take at night time."


"I have drank 3 bottles of wine a night for a long time gained 3 stone and decided I need to quit drinking get fit and loose weight. Nothing works better than this tablet I don't even want a drink it's amazing"


"I am highly allergic to...oregano!  Sounds strange - but true.  I will develop blisters on my lips where the oregano touched.  It started when I was cooking spaghetti in a friend's kitchen.  Going through the spice cabinet, I found powered oregano.  I smelled it and found it smelled so good, that I kept smelling it from it's container as I cooked.  The next morning the end of my nose, around both nostrils, and my lips were covered with blisters!

  Before doing this, I had no allergy to oregano!  (so don't do this!)  Now, when I feel a blister beginning to form on my lips, I have to take fast action.  Atarax works well and quickly...which is what I need in order to stop the reaction."


"I have had no problems with this BC.  It seems like every brand affects people differently.  I switched from Loestrin after I started losing hair.  Zarah solved the hair loss.  Zarah has cleared up my acne, which is a feat by itself.  I do have horrible cramps and bloating.  My biggest complaint is my periods last  FULL 7 days.  That's utter misery to me, especially when they were barely 2 days long on Loestrin."


"After suffering for some time with PMT I decided I couldn't continue the way I was as it was interfering with my personal life aswel as my work life. I spoke to my GP who offered me some different options, Prozac being one of them. At that point I felt I couldn't carry on the way I was so gave Prozac a try. I've been on it for around 6 weeks now and already feel 'normal' again. I don't feel anxious or hate myself. It seems to have cleared my thoughts. It's still early but it's definatly helped me get back to my old self."


"I was diagnosed with psoriasis about 3 yrs ago after years of being told it was dandruff on my scalp and eczema on my face. When I told my doctor it seemed to flare up when my arthritis did he realized I had Psoriatic Rheumatoid Arthritis. Long story short...he told me to use this and every time my face flares up I use it the night before and in the morn it's 90% gone. I'm only 38...I know the shot would be better but I have no side effects from this. The shot I would. I recommend the solution over the cream or gel."


"I am using this medication as an alternative to Flagyl. I found out about this medication on the internet to treat trichomoniasis and it definitely beats Flagyl's metallic taste. Started working within minutes of first dose. Wish the doctor would have told me sooner. I am experiencing some mild itching and more frequency in bowel movements."


"I have severe migraines where I just want to squeeze my head off. I used Dolgic Plus until it was taken off the market.  It was the only medicine that worked. Of course I needed coke to wash down the flavor but it was worth it.  Ten to fifteen minutes later headache under control.  Nothing but nothing else worked.  I only wish I could find some again."


"I was on Nexplanon for 2 years. The first couple of months was fine. I had regular periods; they were light, lasted 4 days, and no cramps! After the first couple of months my periods started to be irregular, severe cramps started. My period lasted 3 weeks, I'll be off my period for a week then it'll start back up. I had bad mood swings, I was always depressed and unhappy. I gained over 30 pounds within 2 years. I tried going to the gym/fitness center 5 times a week. That didn't help. I wouldn't recommend this BC. The only Pro for this BC is that I never got pregnant while on it."


"Awesome. I have terrible insomnia. This helps me get a decent nights rest as I care for a disabled parent=bedbownd and wheelchair. I get a good nights sleep and both of our days are more productive."


"I have been taking Harvoni 2 weeks. I am on the 8 week dose and so far it's a peace of cake. All I notice is a mild tummy upset and diarrhea but its nothing I cant put up with 8 weeks in order to be rid of Hep C. I will come back a month in and then at the end of my treatment to update."


"My normal periods involved changing a super plus tampon hourly/wearing an overnight pad for 3 days, then 2 medium flow days, severe diarrhea, vomiting and extreme bloating and very paining cramps, heavy cloting.  I decided to try this and the first two weeks were great, no bleeding or pain, then I got my period and it was very light with minimal cramps for one day! I was soooo happy I cried. One month later I'm still bleeding! It's super light and I only see light pink blood when I wipe.  I hope it ends soon going to give it time and a few more shots. I don't think anyone should get this shot unless they were in my position with an abnormal heavy/painful period.  I rather have light spotting for months than one week of extreme pain."


"I have been using Avonex since October 2008. When the pen was made available, I was ecstatic!! This meant I didn't have to rely on my husband to do the syringe injection, without seeing a needle, I could do it myself.

I used the pen for about 2.5 year's. In that time, several mishaps occurred, the blue button wouldn't work, the needle fell out, the final problem:the needle stuck in my leg after pulling the pen from my leg!!! Needless to say, I am back to depending on my husband again. The flu-like symptoms are the same with both forms of injection.  I would go back to the pen in a heartbeat it was been improved and dependable."


"I hadn't been to the bathroom for almost one week. My stomach was rock hard, and I felt so sick. I took three senna tablets at 7pm. At around 2am I woke up with the most horrible stomach cramps and gas. I lay on my left side with a cushion pressing into my cramping stomach until 5am I had the most intense urge to poo. I barely made it on the toilet.. I had explosive diarrhea. It was the most painful stomach cramps I have ever had, I sat on the toilet for an hour bent over my legs crying from the pain. I still feel sick and crampy at 6pm. It did get the poo out but it was horrifically painful."


"I was on Yaz for about a year. It cleared up my severe acne almost instantaneously (though I actually broke-out severely in the very beginning). I also noticed a  decreased growth of facial/body hair. My periods were also much shorter and I had much lighter flows. The only negative side effect that I noticed was slight weight gain. I have been off the pill for a few months now, because my insurance no longer covers it at all."


"The injectable version works well for my infrequent (every 2-3) months migraines. It stops them dead in their tracks. The only downside is it leaves me feeling a little out of, as if I'd better not operate any heavy machinery.
I also err by not taking it as soon as the pain hits. That's because I hate jabbing myself with a needle. Bizarrely, I also get migraines with aura but no pain. The aura is only visible in my left eye, and looks like fluttering black fringe. So weird. The first time it happened, I was sure I was having a brain bleed. When it went away without my dying or having a stroke, I figured it was just my brain chemistry throwing a party, one with black streamers."


"Insulin works fine just have trouble with pen.  Always pain and pen jammed once.  I use another brand of pen with no problems.  Went over how to use video.   I thought I was doing something wrong.  But was not.   Don't know why I get pain from this."


"A few years back I was hospitalized with a bowel obstruction. Once I left the hospital, my bowel movements have been irregular.  I couldn't make a movement in over 3 weeks. I was force to take stool softeners (which never worked) and Dulcalax laxatives (which did worked but I became constipated after it wore off) I went to the doctor and they suggest I try Miralax. I gave it a try, when 1 day past, it only gave me gas. 2nd day past, more gas. On the 3rd day with Miralax, I was able to have a bowel movement. I was very happy because, when I take Dulcolax I had cramps and had to have the toilet on standby all day. Miralax was a painless soft stool which relieved pressure of constipation.  And I started having regular movements."


"been on Zoloft 3-4 months. The usual side effects. Worst insomnia when I upped the dose from 50 to 100mg, which lasted about 2-3 weeks . Insomnia returned when I upped to 150mg, but not as bad. I am at 150mg. I take it at 5-6am now, which knocks me out and I sleep additional 1-2 hours, in a very relaxed state. I kind of use it as a morning sleeping pill. If I take zoloft at 10pm, it has opposite  effect and I can't sleep. Depression is mostly gone, generalized anxiety is completely gone, social anxiety is reduced significantly. It took 2 month for the anxiety to go away. For public speech I still use 40mg propranolol 1 hour before the event, and the results are overall great."


"I could go 9 to 12 days not having a bowel movement. I stayed very sick. I even got to where I only ate very little food. Bloating was very severe. I have pants from  size 4 -7 depending on the day. Then my Dr. prescribed Linzess. I have been on Linzess for 3 yrs. I had no side effects but diarrhea. But I don't even care. It's a blessing. I must take every day or I still will not have a movement. I will take this miracle pill the rest of my life! Cost is high but you can get cheaper with a card through the makers."


"I know it sounds crazy but I started getting acne around the age of 7. I didn't care about it much back then because I thought it would go away over time. I'm now 15 and I still have acne. I've tried all the over the counter remedies and some prescriptions (ex.Epiduo) and it barely even worked! Soon enough my mother and I got so fed up with it that we finally booked my first dermatologist appointment. She prescribed me with this and some pills( I cant remember the name of the pills). Two pills a day and some of this every night. Started clearing my acne within the first week. I would recommend it to anyone."


"The taste is unpleasant, though not as unpleasant as trichomoniasis. Upon the first dose (500 mg) I suffered from flu like side effects. My neck grew stiff, I felt feverish and steadily nauseous. It did not cause me to lose my appetite, despite the nausea. Headaches became common, along with an undying thirst. Having to go to work on this medicine was as difficult as a virus. I had trouble sleeping to the extent that I actually had remained awake for over thirty hours before falling asleep. It was around the third day in that I suddenly had thick, white discharge that had a musty odor, however that only happened that one day. It is a rough pill, but it gets the job done. No pain, no gain, as they say."


"My urologist has just put me on the cream 3 times a week for preventing uti's. I just started using it so not sure if it will help with this but I pray that it does because the past year I have had one UTI after another and I am tired if being on antibiotics all the time. The antibiotics are so hard on my gut. Anyways no libido and hopefully that will improve too. So far no bad side effects either so that's good. I will be. 60 in may. I always was very active sexually now I don't even want to be touched and my husband is not happy but understanding. So anyways will report back and hopefully this cream is a miracle worker!"


"Since I was 13 years old. Anxiety has been a severely debilitating issue in my life. It's destroyed most of the relationships in my life and stopped me from maturing as a person in terms of moving up in the job field. A lot of people would consider me weird, because of becoming Very reclusive due to my anxiety disorder. When I am on Klonopin... IT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! I have a lot of energy, motivation and I'm anxiety free. The most I've taken consecutively was 2mg  for about 2 weeks and after stopping for about 2-3 days after that I'd never feel any withdrawal effects. This is usually the cycle I use. The quality of my life is drastically better on Benzodiazapine medication."


"Hi, guys!! I don't see many good experiences on here so I will share mine!! I had to take 4 of the red pills at once. At first, I was freaking out because I was reading all these horrible reviews. I experienced no side effects besides me going to the bathroom once or twice but they were like any regular bowel movements. I think the reasons for that is because before I took the pills I drunk PLENTY of water. I'm talking about 3 water bottles. I also took it on an empty stomach and ate saltine crackers. Don't let the reviews scare you like they did me! Everyone's body is different and it affects everyone differently. Good Luck!!  ((: PS: take it when you can relax and have nothing else to do for the rest of the day."


"I had my first back surgery 10 years ago fusion L-5 S-1 I was pain free for about 5 years, then the pain returned. I went to a pain clinic and went through many epedural injections which did not help. The doctor finally put on Oxycontin 15mg immediate release which reduced my pain greatly. I found the two discs above my surgery were fractured so I had to go through another surgery. The surgeon refused to give oxycodone after my surgery and I was in a lot of pain. I finally got in to see my pain doctor and he was appalled that the surgeon did not give oxys. People think you are a junkie when you tell them you are taking them, but I don't care they are the only things that help my pain."


"I went to my OBGYN for my yearly appointment and she refilled the same pill that I've been on for two years. Loved Trinessa, did its job, I could estimate the time of my period down to the hour. Lasted 4 days. And for being a person that switched pills for a year trying to lessen my sad feelings, Trinessa really did me well.

So, after my yearly appointment, I went to pick up my new, yearly prescription. CVS stopped carrying Trinessa and gave me Tri-Estarylla instead. All they told me was that they did not carry Trinessa and that this was the same chemical compound, just a different generic brand. Well now, I've been on this new pill for two weeks, and I have yet to stop bleeding from my last week on Trinessa! Spotting is terrible."


"I had orthoscopic surgery on both knees for meniscal turns from over use during my time in the military. After choosing the injections verses cortisones or steroid shots I've had excellent results. I'm 45 and still run 4 miles every other day without any pain. The injections were not painful and took only minutes in the doctors office. I finished two series and now ready for my third. I give it and excellent rating."


"I'm taking 10mg as prescribed.  I didn't feel the need for it but the Dr. recommended it.  I'm hoping my sex drive will increase and to be more patient when driving (not as irritable).  I'm still in week one but I do have multiple side effects:  nausea, head aches.  I really hope they stop soon.  I'm still optimistic about this med.  Reading some reviews on here helped.  If it doesn't get better, I'll just stop."


"So I've been on the Depo shot for about 5 years now, and have had hardly no problems. I still get period cramps, but no bleeding after the first year. The only issue I have with this medicine is for about the first year your period is all over the place and your sex drive is a little lacking, but otherwise it's pretty great. I reccomend you get the shot every 11 weeks though because on the 12th week you may start spotting and bleeding and having period symptoms-even if you had yuor period a week ago. So, I've had pretty good experience with it."


"I have only been on Belviq for 1 week. I'm not sure if I have lost any weight yet. I am experiencing many side effects. Bad headache, slightly dizzy, very tired (napping almost daily), and stomach issues (heartburn & diarrhea). I'm giving it 6 weeks and then I will decide what to do. I'm hoping the side effects go away within another week."


"Terrible experience after taking two Biscodyl as prescribed by my doctor.. About 3 hours after taking I had the feeling of wanting to poo, well whilst sitting on the loo a fast stream of diarrhea  took over my bowels, along with sweats and clamminess, then a terrible pain in the upper abdomen,  I shouted out with the pain, shearing burning pain like I had never experienced before.  My husband sat with me not knowing what to do, I was doubled over in pain,   My husband said he would call an ambulance, I told him no, this pain must go and it eased off a few minutes later, thank goodness, I was shivering and white as a ghost ! Next day I rang my doct or and told him, he said just take one tablet instead of two! No way I said !"


"I'm using self-prescribed short courses of prednisone (40mg a day for 2-5 days) to control mild asthma symptoms when inhalers were not doing the job. The prednisone brings me back to feeling normal very quickly. Since doctors are not too interested in using it like this though"


"I had been taking Adderall (generic) for approximately five years but recently switched to dextroamphetamine because it was getting so hard to get Adderall due to (as the pharmacy said) "a manufacturer backorder".

But talk about serendipity; the dextroamphetamine makes me clench my jaw a LOT less than the amphetamine salts and as I begin to lose focus at the end of the day I don't get a headache to boot. So overall I have to say the dextroamphetamine is significantly better than Adderall on several levels."


"Did the 10 day trail then followed with 20 additional days to give it a full trial. 20mg did nothing. Not impressed at all. If you have been on sleep meds before don't bother."


"I had abdominal myomectomy several years ago. Unfortunately, my fibroids returned with a vengeance and I had heavy bleeding from the fibroids. My cycle was so heavy last summer that I went to the ER. After my ER visit, my doctor put me on Lysteda. It worked very well for the first 3-4 months. Then, my cycles were heavy again. My doctor suggested Lo Loestrin FE. I started taking these in mid-March on the first day of my cycle. Today is July 27 and I have had my period almost EVERYDAY since mid-March.  My doctor said that I have to give my body at least 6-9 months to adjust to the pills. The upside is that I am not experiencing any of the "normal" side effects.  No nausea, acne, tender breasts, weight gain, etc. I just want a couple of weeks without spotting or full on bleeding."


"One month into the pill I fell deeply into depression. Also, I started the pill with the first day method (on the first day of my period) causing me to spot for the whole 2 months of taking the pill. After taking a break from the pill after the second month I started to recover from the depression. Giving it another try I started the pill once again but instead this time after my period ended solving the spotting issue, but I notice that after the first month of taking the pill I fall into depression once again. It's made my acne much worse, but. It does prevent pregnancy. I'll be switching pills."


"I am a seasonal allergy sufferer ...and some years they are worse than others.  This year I have been miserable, always either sneezing  continually or not able to breathe, or a continuous runny nose, bleeding nose...tired and just not able to function!!  None of this fun or attractive.  I remember my doctor prescribing Nasonex a few years back and I went back and asked for it again. Within 2 days I felt back to my normal self and was able to breathe properly.  No more lethargy and no more nose bleeds.  It truly is a miracle for me with no side effects. "


"This medicine has been very helpful to me. I have always been very reluctant to try medications. This medication has stopped the crying everyday, the constant anger, and helped significantly with anxiety. I have been on Celexa for almost 3 months and I feel a little better everyday, it just takes time. I've had night sweats, light headaches and not slept as well as I used to since starting this medication. However, for me, the benefits are outweighing the side effects at the moment and I will continue to use Celexa until that is no longer the case."


"Vesicare increased the amount my bladder could hold from 300 cc's to 450 cc's, a significant improvement."


"I am in my mid 20s. I weigh 204 and I am 5'3. Today on 8/17/17 is my first day taking this pill. I took it two hours after breakfast which was around 10am. At least 2 hours later I started to feel weird, not a bad weird either. I just felt alert, awake and so energize that I shake if I'm sitting still. I don't mind it at all because I'm usually sluggish and tired. I had a small lunch and I feel completely satisfied, which is crazy. I'm trying to be optimistic about this process that I'm doing because I do need my lifestyle to improve. We all deserve to be happy in someway or form. At the moment, the size and look of my body has stopped me from living. I hope this will give me a kick start to change. I will keep you updated! Wish me luck"


"My medicine gives me extreme constipation all the time. My number 2 norm is about once a week. My doctor prescribed this med last Wednesday so I've been taking 2 pills/day for more than a week and still have seen no improvement. I do feel bad for the rest of you for being in so much pain and agony. I'm not sure if taking the generic brand works differently I wouldn't imagine. I'm just wondering how long I should keep taking it with no results."


"I've been taking Cymbalta/Duloxetine for two years. I suffer from chronic pain due to what doctors and specialists call " I don't know ." It helps me when used with diclofenac, tizanidine and hydrocodone. It lessens my symptoms so that doctors and people who never suffered from pain, stop nagging me about a possible addiction to hydrocodone because i take less now. The unexpected bonus is that I function much better in everyday life.
Without knowing, the constant pain put me in a severe depression and i missed a couple of years of my life. Also without knowing, I went my whole life ( I'm fifty one now) suffering from anxiety even though highly functional.  Cymbalta  brought me back to the world and my family with only mild side effects ."


"Ok, first of all, I'm the biggest skeptic on the planet. And alot of the times, I scour the internet looking for help, to no avail. But I must say, this medicine is great and it really worked for me. I'm currently taking an opiod and I've always had really bad constipation. I get severe pain in my upper right hand side quadrant. I usually pass it and just move on. But this past week has been terrible! I've never had so much pain and gas build up in my life! I felt so sick I couldn't work, or even move out of my bed.
 luckily, I was told to pick this up. It initially worked, but didn't clean me out completely. So 11 hours later it started to work and work and work! Remember it can take different times for everybody! But it's a great relief!"


"Gabapentin has been a miracle drug for me! I first started it 3 years ago for restless leg syndrome (which felt like painful electric shocks deep inside my legs.) It worked perfectly. I took 300 mg an hour before bed. About a year ago, I started having hot flashes (I'm 52) Instead of HRT, my doctor increased my dose to 600 mg a day, in divided doses, and my hot flashes are much better. Then, 6 months ago, I became the target of a bully in the workplace and my anxiety soared! I found it nearly impossible to concentrate and it was increasingly difficult to function at all! After increasing my dose to 600 mg three times a day, I am able to breeze through my work day and I'm no longer intimidated by the bully!  "


"THREE years ago I start with fibro pain all over my body and could not move at all. I tried Celebrex and gave me a bad skin rash and did not take the pain away. MOBIC a miracle drug for me. I changed my life."


"Most allergy medicines have not helped me at all. I decided to try xyzal.  I could tell a difference after the first dose. It doesn't make me tired like benadryl, so I guess it depends on the person.
And since everyone is different, I don't understand why people say not to waste money on this product. Just because it didn't work for you, doesn't mean it won't work for others."


"I had surgery about 4 years ago on my ankle, and have had nerve damage since then.  I was diagnosed with Complex regional Pain Syndrome recently and put on gabapentin for it, my nerve pain is gone, and as a side effect my sleep has returned to normal.  I have found that if I don't take it with some sort of food, that it makes me pretty non-functional.  All in all I would say this has done wonders for my pain, and I use tramadol for the break through pain.  I have lived with pain for years, and this made me pain free in about 4 days time.  Wonderful drug.  I was on 300mg/day for the first 3 days, taken at bed time, then went to 600mg/day taken at bed time.  No negative side effects, just ones that are actually positive."


"My MD first put me on a testosterone gel for lack of desire, difficulty in maintaining and erection, etc. with minimal benefit.  Then, he replaced this with Cialis 5mg taken daily.  WOW!  At 70, I am having sex like 40 again which is 2 or 3 times a week and really good.  I'm not sure if it is all physical or partly that my confidence and expectations have been restored.  "


"I am so upset that this new medicine did not work for me. I must have had an adverse/allergic reaction to it because I only took it for two days and I woke up with sore calf muscles, the worst stiff neck, really bad muscle pain, and a horrible sore throat. I did experience insomnia both nights as well. I called my doctor on the third day and was instructed to stop taking it right away. I thought this was going to be my miracle drug, I'm tired of all the different medicines and crazy side effects. I'm glad that it is working for others, hopefully I will find relief soon."


"Wow! For me this medicine is very effective.  It only took 2 days for me to feel different.  Seems that I'm always having this ache or that ache, but this is just unbelievable.

If you are DIABETIC, I found that my blood sugar increased quite a bit."


"I'm on my 3rd with of using Adapalene 0.1%. Hormonal acne I think. Now on my third week I'm really breaking out but day by day I do see improvements. Some of my scarring has faded..even my sun spots! I use it daily just because my skin can tolerate it and I did use retinol for a year before this. Be patient! I wash my face with african black soap at night and exfoliate gently every other day and I apply adapalene 20 min after. In the morning I  rinse my face with water, use apple cider vinegar as toner, moisturize and apply sunscreen. Over washing is bad as it removes your natural oils. I would suggest cutting out dairy and greatly limiting fried and greasy foods and sugar. I think my acne all along has been a product of consuming dairy."


"I've had m ine on for going on two months now and I love it. I was under the impression this little price of wonderful would be the worst decision of my life and to be honest, its not. Of course insertion hurt like a female dog, but that's to be expected. (I'm 18, never gave been pregnant by the way.) That first day- and that first few- stunk. But I found walking seemed to help. My next period was pretty heavy but lasted only 4 days and it was far better than my periods prior; which only happened maybe 4 times a year and when they did I thought I was dying. I lightly speed and gained like 6 pounds but In that aspect, mine is great. I cramp lightly now and that's a miracle in and of itself. My partner hardly notices the stings too. ;]"


"I was on synthroid, levothyroxine and then finally armour thyroid. synthroid and levothyroxine I was on both for 6 months to 1 year. No change in my thyroid and it also made me a bit crazy, I would have anger out bursts for no reason. Once I went on armour thyroid within the first 3 months my levels were getting better, we bumped my dosage up to 120 and my levels are now perfect. I feel so much better on armour thyroid than I ever did on the other 2."


"I have had 2 left knee reconstructions and was prescribed Vicodin 10/325. After a few short weeks I was already immune to the dosage and had to start taking more. Although it works great for body pain, I have a killer headache and no appetite once it wears off. When I have a few good days that are pain free and I don't use the medication I feel like I'm going through withdrawls."


"Works great"


"Okay, so I had suffered with Acne ever since I hit puberty.. I was a 'pizza' face, so to say.. I had tried multiple things and thousands of dollars to try and get rid of my acne... Eventually though, I found out I had PCOS, so yay! Hormonal Acne. ._.

Anywaaays, My dermatologist prescribed me Bactrim along with Spironolactone. Within a week, I had a completely clear face. No acne at all... But unfortunately, after 3-4 week I found out I I was apart of the unlucky few who ended up being allergic to it. So sad.  If I could ever take it again, I would in a heart beat. But It has been about 6 months since I've been on Bactrim and I am still pretty much clear with very few breakouts."


"I took Effexor XR for about 13 years.  It worked fine. I just went off it VERY slowly in February so that we could try and get pregnant.  Pregnancy did not happen an panic attacks came back.  I went back on Effexor and it is like a different medicine!  My vision has gotten so bad that I cannot drive.  I am sick all of the time and I have constant diarrhea.  One of my pupils dilated.  I find it strange that the same medicine won't work for me as before.  I have been on it now for 5 weeks.  "


"I took Prilosec for about 3 years. I began to experience a rapid heartbeat at night. I would wake up at night and have very rapid heartbeat for about 5 minutes. It finally dawned on me to try leaving off the Prilosec. I have been off now for 2 months and am having no more problems with my heart. I found that Pepcid is also good for indigestion and causes me no problem."


"I have neen taking 25 mg of paroxetine for 5 years and have had 1 panic attack and basically no more anxiety. My overall mental and physical health has increased dramatically due to paroxetine. It takes around a month to take full effect and side effects slowly disappear. Go get a gym membership and work out 3 to 4 days a week, be conscious of what you eat and your quality of life and overall happiness will return."


"Going to have to decrease dosage (50mg 2x daily) or quit Lyrica due to loss of memory & confusion & jerking. Once could top out any IQ tests but my husband says I can't even find my "behind" anymore. Taking it for neuropathy & came home from complete knee surgery with foot drop in leg operated on. Now the other foot has dropped half way so I am all but an invalid. No more going outside for me to enjoy our horses on our farm. The dry mouth I got with Lyrica also frightens me as afraid I will lose my teeth as others have. Lyrica also causes severe sleepiness. I guess it MIGHT have stopped the shooting pains in my feet at night?"


"About a week after starting this pill I started getting extreme cramps, the worst I've ever had, they would last 2-8 hours a day and no medicine would relieve the pain.  I also experienced weight gain and acne."


"I have used Elocon for several years for frequent contact dermatitis on my hands, between my fingers and under rings, behind my knees, and for poison ivy or sumac.  It relieves itching and redness very quickly and you only need a very small amount - apply sparingly.  Episodes are over in about three days in my experience.  I keep in in the house at all times when flare-ups occur."


"Tried fluoxetine 20mg for a month.  Absolutely did NOT work for me!!! I lost a few pounds which was water weight but gained it right back and some.  Made anxiety,  obsessive thoughts worse,  depression worse too. Got to a point where I thought I was gonna walk right out of my job.  Stopped taking it a day ago and i already feel better,  maybe even hypomanic.it gets a 2 instead of 1 cuz it allowed me to sleep. I will be starting a combo of venlafaxine 75mg and bupropion 150 mg sr in a few days.  Hopefully I won't resist this treatment. Good luck everyone!"


"I started to develop depression around puberty, over the years it became more and more intense. Some days I would cry and have to leave school, around two years ago my Doctor put me on 50mg of Zoloft. The first few weeks were a wreck, I had terrible nausea, was tired all the time, could barely eat, and some days I would experience a zombie feeling. After the Zoloft started to kick in the side effects subsided. I went through bouts of not taking it and then I would feel bad and start taking it again, every time I went back on the pill the stomach pains increased to were I would eat once every other day. Since then I have been put on a new medication that I hope starts kicking in. All in all Zoloft was amazing, if you stick to it."


"I took two and I'm positive my rectum is separating from my body right now. It cleans you out but good lord only take 1!!!"


"I have chronic pain due to Endometriosis and trust me, not pleasant at all but with this medication, it helps. It may not be as strong as I would like it to be but I'm ok it does something. I just don't want to rely on pain meds because of my daughter. However, it times of great overwhelming pain, I take one of these and a ambien and I'm out cold. Upside is I met my out of pocket and deductible so its free till end of year."


"I used Lexapro for a short time because after about a week, I found that I lost all sensation of touch.  I could stick my hand under hot running water and I couldn't tell you just by touch its general temperature.  Obviously, the rising steam gave a clue.  But I immediately requested to be taken off of it.  When I told my doctor, she thought I was lying.  Wish I could have tried it longer but I prefer not being physically numb."


"I've been off and on of this medication for about 8 years. I originally started it to help me quit smoking (which worked wonders for me, I was able to quit) and later was put back on it for seasonal depression disorder. It helps me a lot with depression, especially as it worsens in the winter.
Side effects I experience is increased anxiety, heart palpitations, increased heart rate.
I've been on 300 mg (150mg twice a day) before and my anxiety was horrible. If you're on a higher dose and suffer with anxiety you may want to try a lower dose. I currently take 150 mg a day and it's very helpful. It gives you that spark of motivation you need in the mornings."


"I have always had horrid acne, and nothing seemed to work. Tried ProActive and while it would work, the moment I skipped one day of treatment, I would breakout. After years of fighting it, I went to my local Skin Institute, where they prescribed me EpiDuo. It works, end of story. Now for about the first month or two, it does dry the skin out, particularly around the lips and nose. What I found works is Aveeno facial moisturizers. They don't cause the skin to breakout and they help the affected areas. Within three months, my acne was noticeably better and I'm very happy with it! Trust me, it is worth the wait!"


"I am taking amitriptyline four 3 years I started 10mg and up to much higher doses.
I had 3mth set back.that's why I am taking a bigger dose.
last night I was able to go to sleep with out back &  leg pain"


"This is a terrible drug. I have tried 5 or 6 different birth control pills, but this one was unbearable. It gave me panic attacks, nausea, dizziness, and high blood pressure. I didn't last a week. I would never ever reccomend this birth control pill. I can't wait until it is 100% out of my system."


"In general I have loose stools, but while on the drug, a sneeze or cough and I would soil myself. This became such a problem I didn't want to leave the house. I never lost any weight during my time on this medication."


"I've had the Nexplanon for a month now. I was on my cycle when I was implanted-- it stopped the same day.
I have noticed it's made me a little more emotional, but I haven't had any issues with acne or weight gain. The problem I'm having is that I've been spotting/ on a very light cycle for about a week and a half. My panties are ruined if I don't wear a liner. I'm trying to wait it out because it hasn't been a full-blown cycle, but I'm not feeling this spotting/light cycle either.

My co-worker has it and says my body just has to catch up. We'll see. I'm keeping my fingers crossed."


"I received my implant in December 2013 after having my son in May 2013. The 1st year was great, no side effects at all. The next year however, has been terrible. The first terrible side effect, I have been on my cycle for a full 3 weeks and still counting. 2nd, my hair has begun to shed. 3rd, the weight gain is out of control. No matter what I do to lose weight, it doesn't happen, it's like I'm stuck at this weight. Because I got on shortly after having my son, I haven't even had an opportunity to drop the baby weight. It's a great method because you don't have to worry about anything for 3 years, but it just doesn't  work for me. I desire to lose at least 30 lbs, have a full head of healthy hair, and a cycle once a month for about 4-7."


"I took Effexor for many years. I believe I was becoming resistant to it because it wasn't addressing my depression anymore. I tapered off as slowly as possible and I can safely say it is the worst withdrawal I have ever had in my life. Nausea, dizziness, sickly feeling, huge brain zaps, lethargy, headaches. It was horrible. I am so glad to be off of it. My new medication, wellbutrin and lexapro are much better in controlling my chronic major depression. I will never be off drugs, but I would never take this drug again."


"My friend had suggested that I get this implant because she never gets her period and didn't have any side effects from it. My experience has been completely different. I have literally bled for 25 days straight, about 2-3 weeks after I had it implanted. This is ridiculous. I also had headaches for the first 3 weeks and was very irritable. I have been hoping this damn bleeding would stop. It slowed down a bit, then stopped for a day, then started again the next. The blood isn't enough for a tampon, and too much for a liner. So, I have been wearing pads...and my groin is basically rubbed raw from wearing pads for 25 days. I have gotten to the point where I have to give my groin a rest and have just been ruining my underwear."


"Well I got mines on August 11th and well it was great at first until that second month then I bled for 3 and a half weeks then it stopped for a few weeks then came another period lasted for 3 weeks as well.  I have been moody and sad not feeling like myself. I don't like it that much but this period is very annoying because I can't be on my period for months ugh never"


"I have been on this medication for 22 years. I have a weird vagatone form of a-fib.I was on Procanimide for 10 years, but developed chemically induced lupus. After 4 hospitalizations and 3 cardio conversions, Norpace CR was the only drug that worked comfortably for me. Unfortunately it is currently out of production and not scheduled to be available again until March, 2018 ( today is 9/1/17. This has happened several times in recent years, there is no generic CR. MSs don't like it as it is an old drug and is contraindicated with 400 other medicines under 1200 brand names, but it works for me when most of the new drugs don't. I am 65 now and my EP wants to do a pacemaker which I intend to postpone as long as possible."


"I have been dealing with chronic back, neck, hip, knee and both ankles pain for ten years now. I'm 48yrs I've always worked until my body broke down. If were not for the Oxycontin, I would be bedridden and in a wheelchair. When taken appropriately this is a miracle. "


"Started taking Victoza 6 days ago.  I have had migraines and a little bit of nausea.  I  am taking 0.6 mg.  I have not lost any weight from this medicine yet. My Doctor wanted me to try Victoza because even with low carb diet and 1500mg of metformin and 100mg of Januvia my blood sugar was still high.  I tried Lantus insulin for 10 days and gained 9 lbs in the 10 days after starting it so I quit taking it.  I have lost 16 lbs in the last year and my blood sugars have gone up so I do not want to take insulin and gain the weight I worked so hard to lose back."


"I've been suffering from migraines for about 10 years.  I've tried topamax, zonegren, savella, muscle relaxants, rescue drugs and now Methergine.  I finally feel like I have my life back.  I've only had one migraine in 3 months and that migraine wasn't too bad at all.  It's wonderful.  Methergine is supposed to be taken for a set period of time, then you need time off of it.  In rare cases it causes heart/lung problems.  I had to have a chest x-ray and an echo before my migraine specialist would prescribe it.

I wish migraine researchers would take another look at this drug and refine it to come up with new solutions without any possible side effects.  For now, I have my life back and I'm grateful to my migraine doctor - Traci Purath."


"I LOVE this product! At 1st sign of a belemish or whitehead that is really painful (you know what I'n talking about).  Here's what I did, I put ice on the pimple, to help with pain and swelling and I a put a a thin to moderate layer of PanOxyl Aqua Gel.  Most of the time the pimple went away on its on, or it even "popped" on it's own.  I totally love this stuff.  Anything from PanOxyl family."


"Prazosin is very helpful for anxiety and stress, especially for those with occupations that require vigilance.  I started with 1 mg at bedtime for nightmares and insomnia, but started taking it during the daytime as well for stress and anxiety.  Only when I first started did I have a few episodes of mild dizziness, but the dizziness is gone now.  It also seems to help with BPH symptoms."


"This medication saved my life. I had allergic reactions to some medications and was afraid that I would never find something to help me."


"I was put on this medication for anxiety and depression as I had previously been on lexapro 15mg for 3 years and had consistently had a insatiable appetite. I saw a pyc specialising in perinatal depression as I changed whilst pregnant. I started on 37.5mg of Effexor but needed to constantly increase 75.5mg then 112.5 mg as My biggest complaint on this medication was extreme
aggression. I would get so angry I doubted my ability to not harm my children. I obviously saw my doc who has taken me off it, withdrawal was ok till back down to 37.5 mg. Please don't take this medication try everything else before this- side effects for withdrawal are awful I've just got off it and switched to Zoloft and 2nd day in already feeling better."


"at age 60 biopsy showed prostate cancer psa was 10. had it out.  After it was out, psa still ten.  Started Lupron and psa dropped to 0 for two years.  Then my doc suggested I  go without the lupron... I did for 8 months and my psa climbed to 4. back on lupron and it dropped to zero.  Did lupron for another year, then went off of it again. Why? The side effects, bad arthritis hot flashes, weight gain, 30 lbs in first two months, then no more.  No libido and everything shrinks.  No body hair. It was a joy to get off that stuff for awhile but my psa started climbing again. Now back on Lupron, but no change in psa.  Went to a monthly shot, my psa stayed at 4.  Added Casodex, grew boobs,  really bad.  My psa is now 2.  I've been fighting cancer now for 6 years."


"I was given this medicine for muscle spasms in the emergency room after 3 visits and 2 different hospitals. First I received an injection of Norflex and than a prescription for 2 a day for eight days.  These pills worked wonders for the muscle spasms I had been having for about 3 months. I have been pain free for 4 months now."


"I've been sort of depressed or slightly anxious always. Started 50 mg sertraline daily 6 years ago. Great from the start, the only negative effects I ever experienced were from not taking it sometimes. It leveled out a few years ago and it probably needs to be upped by 25 mg daily. It has worked many wonders for me but I need to really chill out a little bit more, maybe this will do it."


"Hello, I was on Risperdal for 3 years, I switched to Invega just over a month ago and am already losing a good deal of weight, I do sometimes get restless but I accept this as the price for not sleeping 17 hours a day on Risperdal, my appetite is normal and I don't eat huge portions anymore, my energy is up and I can actually feel emotions fully again, for the first time in a long long time, would recommend giving this a try to anyone - just remember some people get different side effects, for me this also took away sexual side effects that were limiting my relationships."


"This is the second time my doctor has put me on this exact birth control. Both times it was because of acne and the fact that I am a human who has sex. Both aren't worthy of being medicated. Doc claims this will prevent future cysts (I had a small one). My periods have been regular for almost a year but the past 2 were heavy before I started this medicine. I am done. I still break out. The first 2 weeks I had headaches all day, all night. The nausea is more intense now. Hot flashes. Heart pounding and chest pains. Stomach easily upset. Dark urine and bloating. MOOD SWINGS are the worst of it. I am not myself. I am on anxiety medicine and this defeats the purpose! I feel so awful everyday. This is not worth it."


"It's been good for me. I never reacted well to other medication which gave me headaches and scary heart beats. With Ziac none of that occurs and it also has a very calming effect on me."


"I was put on Celexa for Depression, Bipolar as well as my OCD (Onsessive Compulsive Disorder). I start off taking 10mg and then later upgraded to 20mg but my experience wasn't entirely the greatest. The Celexa aggravated my OCD ticks making them occur more frequently which automatically raised my level of anxiety and stress. I am always tired and feel like a complete zombie, I find it tiring to even laugh and smile. My appetite has increased drastically, I pretty much never stop eating. And it has really affected my bipolar making me very irritable. Ever since I've been on Celexa I've had many child-like tantrums where I have gotten physically violent. This pill wasn't for me. I am currently still on Celexa but am being weened off of it."


"I have been recently having bad acne for a year now, I went to my dermatologist and they prescribed epiduo. For the first week it worked great and really helped with my acne. But during the second week thats when it started to get bad. After I would use it my skin would burn and it hurt so bad that I was in tears. Nothing helped the burning but applying ice too it. It also made my face very red and my skin started to flake off. I don't tend to have sensitive skin either... would not recommend"


"I started Lamictal about a year ago. Nothing else worked, the medicines made me tired and sometimes worse. My family noticed a huge change in my moods and I don't nearly get angry at all. This medication is awesome! I take 400mg a day now, but I was pretty bad! I thought I was better once and stopped taking it and oh boy my family was like get back on your meds! I will never stop taking this medication again! My son has bipolar as well, I am going to ask doctor to try him on it as well! Only side effect is dry mouth."


"On my 5th month of microgestin. For the first 3 months, I experienced some side effect. I gained 5-10 lbs and felt "headachy" at times. After 3 months, my weight has returned to normal and no more headachy. No changes to libido or any other side effects."


"Causes too many lows"


"I have been on contrave since Jan 2. 2016, and have lost about 12lbs. I did experience nausea in the beginning. I am very happy with starting this medication. It helps me curbe my binge eating and depression."


"After taking Lutera for 4 months, all of a sudden I got my period two times in three weeks.  Since I started taking it my breasts got huge, I gained weight, I've been depressed and my sleep pattern has been thrown off.  As soon as I stopped taking it I felt 1000 times better, I feel like myself again, and now just have to work on getting back into shape because of the weight gain."


"I've been taking 15mg of BuSpar for 1 month now.  It started working around week 3.  I can gratetfully say that it is working for the sexual side effects.  This medication is a life saver!"


"I have been taking Mirapex for a number of years for RLS. I originally took 0.125mg once a day. After a few years it was increased to 0.125mg twice a day as my symptoms were rather severe. I have remained at the same dosage since then and have developed no side effects to the medication.  I would seldom be able to sleep except for this medication."


"When I was 12 years old. I woke up at 2 in the morning to blindingly agonizing pain, bad enough that I found myself screaming at the top of my lungs. But when I tried to get out of bed I found my strength fail me and plummeted to the ground hitting my head on my night table. My parents found me and brought me to the hospital.
I only found out years later when reading a list of side effects and overdose symptoms just how harmful this drug is. The word limit doesn't allow me to even scratch the surface. I will say that it has left serious physiological scars that decades later have still not healed.
I cannot deny that it did help me pay attention in class. But I would still advise any parent that loves their child to STAY CLEAR!"


"I am  89 rears old. 1986- quadruple open heart surgery; three bare stents inserted 8 years later; using an ARB, a beta blocker, have been on warfarin for ten years since my stroke in 2001, plus Imdur 60 mgm twice a day. I still experienced angina, after walking, after sitting too long. Started Ranexa one month ago-results are amazing- NO ANGINA!  500 mgm twice a day. Thank you, Gilead Science for developing this amazing medicine.  "


"I took the smaller dosage of .75 mg, thank god.  First two days were fine, then the third day everything went south.  Blood sugar was 219 highest I had ever taken.  Woke up with upset stomach, then diarrhea for 6-8 hours, then vomiting for 4-6 hours, then cold chills rash that turned to hives from crotch to knees arm pits to elbows, head itched, lips started getting puffy.  This was all in 24 hours.  It was horrible.  Then the next 9 days it took to get completely out of my system. Every day I would have these with less severity.  The hives is the only thing that did not reocurr.  At times I could not stand any clothes on my body was that sensitive. I found from the Dr. At emergency room the half life of the drug was 5 days. "


"I have been on Synthroid for over 8 years and have actually gained weight. I have a very healthy lifestyle (exercise for one hour 5 days a week, and eat healthy), but nothing has been working. My endocrinologist consistently increases my prescription and nothing changes. Next time I see her I am going to get on Armour. "


"Really useful. Give it at least 6 to 12 weeks to help you. You will be glad you gave it a chance to help you become happier and to feel balanced."


"I only been on this medicine for 2 months I take 3 a day I was 145 when I started and now I'm 170. I love this medicine because I couldn't eat to save my life. Now I'm only taking one pill a day so I won't eat as much. Great medicine"


"I have lived for years and years with an issue that no one would identify as irritable bowel syndrome with constipation.  I was always told to eat better and drink plenty of water. When it was figured out what I had, that doctor suggested stool softners and drink plenty of water.  Then a sweet little physician's assistant prescribed Amitiza. This medicine works great even with the minimul side effects it creates.  I experienced a little nausea some light headed times but all in all it is worth all this to finally be "regular".
Before it was suggested I take this: I had read about it and several of the comments listed here.  Thanks."


"Horrible! If I could rate a 0 I would. Started having headaches ( I never ever have headaches), got my period for 10 days 6 weeks in, bp went from 100/60 to 158/98.  Missed 2 doses so I followed the directions and upon taking them and my normal dose shit hit the fan. I couldn't breathe, my heart was racing, and my bp went through the roof. I was sent to er ( after my first 2 visits) to get checked for a PE, have had a million tests done, several ekg's and have an spot with a cardiologist.  I have been waiting for the drugs to get out of my system (the half life is about a month) and I am light headed have the worst anxiety ( never ever had it before so it really hard to deal with which is making it worse), really jittery and and not happy."


"I am an alcoholic in recovery and have been sober for over 10 years.  I used this drug when it was fairly new and I was in rehab.  Seemed to work along with all the other tools given to me at that time.  No side effects that I can recall."


"First of all, I know it's scary, and it's hard to not be worry but it works. Im 16. On July, 24th me and my boyfie we did dry humping(skin on skin), no intercourse. He noticed about the pre-cum and wiped it.Few hours later we started worrying bcs some web say that there's a chance for pregnancy just by rubbing. I never calculate my cycle, but I'm pretty sure it was 1-2 days after ovulating. +/- 14 hours later, I took the pills. Without food. After I took it, the rest of the day I feel so sleepy,fatigue,nausea,loss of appetite, slight headache. For few days later I feel bloating, and some minor headache. My period due is around 24/6, and today,27/6 I got my period. Note: Since 24/6 I took vitC&warmwater+honey. It helps to induce period."


"I am on day nine of this medicine. Started 20mg three days ago. It has helped with the depression but has not helped with my panic attacks so far. I'm hoping good things will come after a little more time."


"Really effective, but really terrible side-effects. UTI and kidney infection both cleared up quickly, which I'm grateful for, and ultimately that's the point. But I had nausea and vomiting, dizziness, diarrhea, joint aches, itchy skin, sore throat, loss of appetite... I felt way better with the infection than I did on the medication. But it's all temporary."


"It's okay. I take it (not every day) for back pain and migraines. First time I took it I threw up, probably because I've never taken any narcotic pain killers before. It still frequently makes me nauseous when I take it and takes a good four hours to really kick in and work.

Personally, these days, I find much more luck with medical marijuana. Not habit-forming, and much safer."


"In the first four months of being on this medicine I lost 50 pounds, by 6 months I had lost 60 pounds. Don't get me wrong, you can't expect to take this pill and magically drop weight, you also have to workout and change your eating habits. But if you are dedicated to changing your eating habits and working out regularly then this medicine will work miracles! Give it a chance but have self control to go along with it."


"I had Nexplanon inserted June of this year. Since then I have had three periods, the first two lasted about two weeks. I am currently bleeding again and have been for almost a month. My gyno gave me bc pills to help regulate my period but once I finished those off, I immediately started bleeding again, heavier than before. Prolonged bleeding and also depressed mood have been the side effects I experienced.  I won't tell anyone NOT to try nexplanon, but I would tell them that everyone's experience will be different. It's a great form of bc since I basically bled the whole time, I couldn't even have sex!"


"Tried this in order to start a family. I had some pretty awful eye problems while taking it. I'd have to wear sunglasses most of the day with a constant ache starting on about day 4 of 10. Still, it was worth it to try to have a baby.
I didn't get very many rounds though. Due to an unexpected life circumstance, we had to stop trying. I'd like to give it another shot though when life settles back down. I felt that it may have been helping.
Oh and it revved up my already-high libido by ten times."


"I agree all drugs have side effects but fosamax is dangerous. My mom has been taking it since last 2 weeks and from that time she has been having all sorts of pain, discomfort which she never had before. Doctor said they will eventually go away but she ended up hospitalized with severe pain in jaw, chest, neck , in short every where. I don't know why this medicine is even in the market."


"I so grateful to find something to stop the spasms in my back! The spasms were coming about every 3 minutes much like labor pains!
Pain killers were not working. Before taking Norflex, it  took about a month to get through the spasms. I have been taking Norflex for the past three days and the relief is wonderful."


"Even though reading the other reviews gave me so much hope, after just 1 week at 1.5 mg, the side effects are just too much for me. 12 hours after taking it, I feel like I've got stomach flu and vomit violently. Also since starting I feel lethargic, will suddenly fall asleep, and I'm an absolute grump to be around. Currently taking lithium and lamotrigine which can't seem to get a grip on the swings."


"Losartan is poison and I hope anyone taking it at least monitors their improvement if any vs. the side effects...because they sneak up on you.  I believe this medication will do much more harm than good, so please be careful...I took it because Lisinopril gave me a cough.  I gave it 3-full months and during that time, I became very ill.  Extreme fatigue, headaches, sore back, weakness in my legs that was very scary.  I felt like I had the flu daily and I thought it might be another medication I was on, but I tested myself by stopping the other med's and nope...the symptoms still remained.  I was so exhausted all the time, I could hardly get through my day and had to take daily naps.  I slept very deeply with vivid dreams.  Never ever again!"


"Prescribed the 2 per day for 7 days of the 400mg. The first day was fine, the second I had a couple of hours before having any food and wow, I have never felt worse in my life! I vomited uncontrollably everytime I ate or drank, felt dizzy, sank, slurred my words, couldn't concentrate, completely lost my apetite and couldn't sleep(and when I did I had strange dreams). Reticent to continue, it took me until lunchtime the next day to work up the courage to eat or to take the next pill...but after drinking as much peppermint tea as i could manage and some crystallized ginger(both supposed to settle the stomach) and having a sandwich, I experienced no further side effects! My symptoms had already cleared. 3 more days to go and feeling positive!"


"I get episodic Cluster Headaches and taking this medication keeps the headaches from happening.  I took 80mg three times a day the first time it was prescribed, but had to double the dosage this time around."


"From the first day I took Campral I started to forget about drinking. It's now been a week and I've lost all desire. Just looking at alcohol or people drinking it is a complete turn off.

I was drinking 1-2 bottles of red wine every night and i've seen been a huge turn around in my mood (and life) since taking Campral in a very short time. I did a lot of reading about the drug including reading comments in this forum before starting it and it really does work well.

If you need some time to press the pause button this will help give you some strength and clarity to get on with life."


"My cough was so bad that I now have an umbilical hernia but the Mucinex worked.  I only took it in the morning because it did cause sleeplessness."


"This is by far the worst birth control I have ever experienced. I have been on the pill for 5 years and this was given to me as a filler between my annual exam (I normally have a different brand). I had no idea that brands can differ so much, and I thought nothing of it. Right away on this pill I became sick to my stomach and thought I had the flu. I had horrible gas and heartburn. My breast hurt horribly. I got horrible acne all over my chin! Then by the third week I started to feel mild cramping in my calf and sharp pains all over my body. This pill has inspired me to go off the pill in general. Horrible experience."


"Right below knee amputation, right open fracture femur lead to osteomyelitis, non-union, 30 days of Cipro cleared the infection. Delayed union with plate interlocking done."


"I started Belviq XR yesterday.  Took my first pill at 9am.  I realized at noon that I hadn't had my normal daily healthy snack, and that I wasn't hungry for lunch. I did eat lunch at 1:30, but only a few bites and I lost all interest.  I felt a little dizzy later in the afternoon, so I had some carrots, and had to force my dinner down later and ate 3/4 of it.  Never did I feel hungry all day.  I can see, with this pill, you have to force yourself to eat.  I had absolutely NO cravings yesterday for anything. I did get cold later in the afternoon, which I'm NEVER cold.  And, my skin got tingly.. like I put icy/hot on it.  Other than that, and a little lightheadedness, I had no other side effects. Will update again at the 1 week mark."


"So far on 10 mg Norvasc and 80 mg Micardis.  Has proven to be an effective combination for my hypertension. Previsouly my readings were around 160/90 and now it is around 130/75.

I am 39 years old, obese person (100kg) 5ft 6 inches in height.

I have been having hihg blood pressure for about a few years now and have tried quite a few types of medicine until these two which has been ok so far."


"I had been on Seroquel since 1997 and had gained a lot of weight.  I also had the side effects of type 2 diabetes, high cholestoral, etc. from taking it so long.  But Seroquel worked for me.  So in an effort to loose weight and the "bad" side effects I switched to Latuda.  Lutuda didn't do squat for me in the sleep department, so I ended up taking a half pill of Seroquel and a dose of Latuda.  This worked well for about a year.  I lost a ton of weight and my overall health improved.  However, I slipped into a major depressive episode in less than a year and had to go back to the "tried and true" Seroquel.  Feeling better, but gained back a lot of weight.  Never thought a drug marketed for BP depression would make me depressed."


"I got it inserted in May 2015 and it worked great at first. About 2 months later I started bleeding and did not stop until about 6 months later. It would stop for maybe 2 days at a time if i was lucky. I thought I had gotten through that but it just kept happening. I just stopped bleeding about 3 days ago after bleeding for almost 4 months. Going to talk to the doctor about something to help this week."


"I was switched from Lexapro to Zoloft 50mg about a week ago and I found it quite helpful for calming my mind from obsessive thoughts and depressed feeling. Now I am on 75 mg and it is further improving my condition. After 1 week, I will be on 100 mg and I am hoping that it will give me more good results."


"Mucinex is great and it works well but whatever you do, DO NOT take it on an empty stomach. I did this morning and as the day went by I kept feeling worse and worse. When I finally got the chance to eat something, my stomach was so upset that it just came right back up. Again, its a great medication but eat something before taking it."


"I have tried several medications for my high blood pressure since 2004; Diovan HCT is the ONLY medication that helps me feel better. The majority of medications I tried gave me terrible headaches. I have virtually no side effects when using Diovan HCT; the only issue I have is that I cannot be out in the sun for extended periods of time."


"I was given a Toradol injection and five days of Ketorolac (same meds in different forms) for tendinitis of bicept/tricep area of one arm. The shot did nothing for me, and after 6 hours on the first pill the next day, I gave up and went back to ibuprofen. That knocked out the pain in half an hour. Guess it just doesn't work for everybody."


"I took 2 pills for constipation. This pill cleans you out, but its so painful! 2 to 3 hours later you start to cramp. It just gets worse and worse. I had some chest discomfort..that wasn't expected. They went away within a minute or so. Anyways the cramping is extremely painful and you feel super sick it's just like a stomach flu! It's been hours and I am still having the effects off and on. As much as I'm glad to not be constipated anymore...the pain was so bad I don't think it is worth it. If you want to take this, expect brutal cramping and pain. From these comments, it happens to a lot of us."


"I attempted 4 previous Pegasys related treatments in the past 12 years.The last one in 2012 also involved Incivik whose side effects actually resulted in my need to receive a live Liver transplant from my wife on 3/1/13. I began my Harvoni treatment on 3/18/15 and as of my 4 week appointment, the virus has been reported "Undetectable!" My side effects were headaches and an upset stomach for the first 3 days... but that was it."


"I switched from a generic form of Yaz to this pill last month after being on Yaz for about two years. This morning I started my period, so it definitely works as advertised. For me, this pill is a lot better than the one I was on before. I have a lot less mood swings (they're still there, but not nearly as many), less acne, and my boobs have gone up almost another cup. My only dislikes are how gassy this pill makes me and how much hungrier I am, however I'll take those things over nausea and occasional actual illness. I have put on a little bit of weight, but it wasn't much and now that I'm aware of how hungry this pill makes me, I'm keeping healthier snacks on hand. I'm a fan of this pill, but it's also interacting fairly mildly with me."


"27,  I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression about 18 months ago. My doctor started me on 50mg of sertraline and it had no effect so bumped me up to 100mg and I absolutely hated life!  My panic attacks worsened my mood was unbearble, I always felt tired and nauseous which all affected my ability to work. I had enough so I stopped but then needed to go back to the doctor to try a different medication which he prescribed me pristiq. I feel absolutely amazing!  My anxiety has gone and the depression side of things is a thing of the past! I have been nauseas once or twice since being on it (3 months) but that is nothing compared to the other medication I was on :)"


"Did not help much with my Crohn's, but less side effects than others."


"My bladder weakness was so bad that sometimes I would literally wet myself if I needed to go. I had no control at all! I had to wear pads all the time. I went to the drs who at first suggested things like cutting out caffeine which irritates the bladder. This did help but I still had no control! I was prescribed vesicare 5mg and after about 3 days WOW! I no longer need a pad, I am able to hold on to my urine even if I am desperate! I occasionally forget to take one or 2 and I can tell the difference straight away as I lose control again! Amazing little pill!"


"This is the only thing that I have tried that helps me sleep a full 8 hours. I love this medication. I have had no sleep walking and I have not done anything that I can't remember. The only side effects I have had are just feeling a little tired during the day and increased appetite. I would definitely recommend this medication to people with insomnia."


"This medication landed me in the ER after a week. I was having so much back pain that I could not stand or walk. I was wheeled in. The pain was so severe they had to use Dilaudid to bring it down and send me home on it for several days. I have always had back pain so I was not sure at first that this was the cause. I am now. I figure I can not take "Statins" and currently take nothing. I can take Zetia if I have to. It felt like my back was bone on bone. All my disc felt out in my lower back and crushed. The most pain I had been in ever. Probably a good drug for some but not for me."


"I was surprised to see that there were some reviews that showed it wasn't helping some people. I'm very sorry for that. Depression runs in my family. I've been on over 20 different antidepressants throughout my life. Nothing has ever worked. I don't recall any improvement from anything. I started fetzima about 2 years ago. I felt relief within 1 week. I couldn't believe the difference within 2 weeks. I have experienced some rough times. I've had a few suicide attempts and woke up in ICU 3 times. I'm not trying to say I've had it worse than anyone. I'm just saying that was the place I was in. This was the only med that worked. The only drawback is the cost. It's very expensive without a savings card."


"I have COPD so when I get Bronchitis it knocks me for a loop! Because we moved, we had to find a new doctor. Low and behold I get Bronchitis. He prescribed Avelox and to say it was a God send is an understatement. I personally haven't had any side effect and on the second day there was a distinct slow down in my coughing. Now I tell everyone who believes they have an URI or Bronchitis to ask their doctor for the Avelox. I just pray I never grow immune to it!"


"I find that taking Lamictal has made my condition of bipolar disorder has made me feel better about myself and influenced my ambitions.It is a wonderful drug and has kept me from having any suicidal thoughts, which I have had in the past.The only thing that is irritable about the drug is itching.It drives me a little crazy but I feel a lot better, and I am glad to tell everyone about it."


"Some nights after taking the zolpidem I go right to sleep, and have sound, restful sleep for about 2-4hrs. Twice during my current bout of insomnia I have slept a full 10hrs after taking the zolpidem. I have had some positive experience, and some negative. However, I have bouts of insomnia once or twice a year; the past Zolpidem is worked really well, within few nights. I am not on week four of the insomnia, and three on the Zolpidem. I am working closely with my doctor."


"I have  been skinny all my life , but due some medical issues i lost some more weight and ended up at 95lbs  (5'4).  During my hospital stay a Nutritionist told me about Megace and said i can try it and see if it helps me. After I got out of the hospital I went to pick up the Medication and started it right away. I started by the end of November 2017 and gained  over 27 lbs so far. I cant be  happier.No side effects at all beside  not getting my period. I  definitely  recommend MEGACE."


"I was on Praluent for a year no side effects, cholesterol was great. Insurance wanted me to switch to Rapetha, after 2nd injection noticed constant stomach pain, constant diarrhea, and I have vivid dreams all night and wake up exhausted. I called my doctor to go back to Praluent, I cannot take the side effects."


"I've been on the shot for a while.  Started it after a miscarriage with  D&C procedure . I haven't had a period, no weight gain like people are scared of, and no bad side effects.  I'm pleased.  The pills and patch caused nothing but problems !"


"Take it right before bed. Worked great."
