"Sorry to hear about the discomfort/side effects of others.  By the 2nd day on a (generic Medrol dose pack), I breathed a huge sigh of relief.I have wondered why it wasn't offered to me sooner--a real God-send. It has made the biggest difference in my enjoyment of the Holidays. Whether this ends up being temporary or not, it was a nice vacation from pain that was over-riding pain meds. Off I go to my first PT session this afternoon, and I'm not dreading it.--very thankful."


"It's the only non-steroid medicine I've found that actually works."


"Although I only started this medication recently, I wanted to share my experience. I finally made the decision to start the pill because my last period was over two weeks late. After ruling out pregnancy, I discovered that I have a genetic history of ovarian cysts, which are lessened in frequency by birth control. I have also suffered from moderately severe periods, with cramps that made it impossible to go to work or school. I have just completed my first week of Aviane. I have had no nausea and perhaps a slight change in appetite where I eat a little more. What surprised me is that my breasts have grown about a third of a cup size. (This is a pleasant surprise for me, as I am a medium B-cup)."


"About 5 years ago my doctor prescribed Amerge and I have used it ever since.  I have been a migraine sufferer for the past 15 years and this is the medication that works the best for me.  2 years ago my health insurance decided to no longer cover the medication and I had to try to find another.  It was awful.  I did not realize how much more effective Amerge was than the other medicines.  I highly recommend this product."


"I've used in off and on for the past few years or more (depending on if I was single or not).  Indeed, it is simple to remember to use and quite effective.  My only complaint is skin irritation from time to time, and tender breasts.  Those are the only reasons why I didn't rate this product a 10, but other than that, I'd suggest it to anyone who is in the recommended age/health group."


"Currently my medication regimen is a mess. I take xanax 1 mg twice a day, and 2mg at bedtime. And valium 5mg at 5pm and 10mg at 9pm plus ambien 10mg! And I just tried a 10mg librium and I slept very well for the first time in months any ideas?"


"I just want to share with anyone thinking about using this med. I have been on LOTS of oxycodone ever since my daughter was born 5 years ago. I was always trying to figure out how to get my next batch because I would run out of my script early every month. I loved the way they made me feel at first!! I loved the energy and the happiness I got from them but it only lasted a short time before it was gone and I needed more and more. Then I was always scared of being without because I knew the withdrawals would be hell! So basically, my life was constantly thinking about those oxycodone! I finally got fed up and found a suboxone doc. Been on a week and feel amazing!!DO IT if u have an addiction problem! U won't regret it! It has saved my life!"


"I took Citalopram for a little over a year and it was the first A/D I'd ever taken.  Worked wonders and helped me to enjoy the little things in life again.  I'm a busy Mom of littles and needed the help way before I actually admitted.  I've always had TMJ from wearing braces in my teens, but never anything real painful.  It wasn't long before I realized the new pain in my jaw was from clenching, bruxism.  Saw Ortho for opinion, dentist made me new bite splint, cortisone shots in jaw joints, heating pads, so on and so forth to help with pain because I didn't want to get off Citalopram.  It got so bad that I had to stop. Been a few months, starting over on Sertraline.  Fingers crossed!"


"I would recommend this birth control to everyone. I have been taking it for almost two years. My periods are light and only last for a few days. My cramps are very tolerable. I don't feel unusually moody or irritable. My breasts did increase in size from a B32 to a D32. My skin is pretty clear, and I did not gain any weight. I would never switch to another birth control!"


"I have had seizures for 40 years. I started on Dilantin and phenobarbital. I had breakthroughs with petit mal seizures, but my grand mals were controlled. When I became pregnant they stopped the phenobarbitol and started me on tegretol.  I had more seizures, petit mal and partial complex. Finally a new doctor started me on phenobarbital again with the Dilantin and Tegretol and I rarely have any seizures. When I do they are only petit mal and last only a minute or so."


"I started Qysmia 1 August 2015 at 209 lbs. I want to get down to 175 lbs. I will be seeing my dr again in mid October and by then I would like to lose 15 lbs. So far I have lost 7 lbs and I am hopeful, but I weigh myself every week and my weight goes up a lb and back down the next week. A little strange, but I'll keep going. I do exercise at least two to three times a week and I have cut out most carbs and sweets from my diet without issue because I really want to change my lifestyle. I am 58 years old and tired of struggling with my weight on my short 5' 4" frame. Plus I want to be healthy as I enter my elderly years and added weight will only cause or compound any health issues that may arise."


"Im 19 years old, 5'3, female. I started taking phentermine in January of 2014. Lost about 12 pounds that month; I went from 180-168. I didn't really exercise like I should've nor did I change my diet which I regret because a notice that the first time you take it, is the first time you drop the most weight.
I bought some again on June 12. Starting weight 168 lbs. it's now June 18th weighing in at 163lbs. I work out about 3-4 times a week and started watching what I eat. I completely cut off fast food, sugary sweets, any type of chips, etc. That's 5 pounds in a week which is amazing and I've also lost inches! My goal is 140-145lbs."


"I am 70 and after blood test was told by my doctor that my testosterone level was very low compared to my last test 5 years earlier.  I was not getting erections very much at all, could not get off when I did, was pretty stressed, irritable, and just not feeling very up.

I've been on Axiron for 5 weeks and things have changed remarkably.  I get horny a lot, get erections at least once a day (4 times one day), can have orgasms more often, feel more relaxed, less stressed out, and noticeably less irritable.

I go back to the doctor in two weeks for the latest blood test results.  The blood was drawn two weeks ago.

I only have one complaint about the medicine...the cost.  I'm not sure I can afford it continuously, and I don't have Medicare B."


"The implant is by far the worst contraception  have ever been on and I wouldn't recommend this at all! I was only on the implant for 7 months but it was an absolute hell. I suffered terrible anxiety and depression which worsened to me not even wanting to leave the house and waking up daily thinking I'd be better off not here. I had to take tonnes of time off work due to the above along with stomach pains, migraines, sleep problems and the list goes on. I put on so much weight despite rarely eating because of my stomach pains. I'd be here all day if I explained the entirety of my implant experience but please take this into consideration"


"i started taking this birth control 4 months ago. I immediately developed acne all over my face, gained 20 pounds over the course of 2 months, suffered from debilitating cramps, and experienced intense mood swings. I do not recommend this birth control for anyone who is estrogen dominant."


"I was prescribed paroxetine 10mgs for my panic disorder and OCD. I've been on it about 1 month. At first I was really tired, could hardly stay awake and I couldn't eat because I felt nauseated, and at times I felt like my body was burning from the inside out. I almost felt like a zombie, just sat there, didn't smile, frown or laugh. Thought I was going crazy. How would I take care of my kids like this? I decided to keep taking it because I hadn't had a panic attack and having one frightened me to no end. After about 2 weeks I was able to get up and clean without being picky, ride in a car without being scared, we had some storms and I didn't panic, and I was playing with my kids again. The pros outweigh the cons! Thank you paroxetine."


"I used to experience a lot of gas due to GERD but not since I've been taking Dexilant. "


"Before Ritalin I was constantly snapping at my husband and I was never able to concentrate at work.  After taking it I have turned into a new person!  I am able to relax and for once feel calm.   My husband said that since I started taking it I haven't been as moody.  I am also able to complete my work projects in a timely manner."


"itching urinary frequency and thirst way beyond wnl"


"I loved the results! It is so easy to put on my buttcheek (alternating each week) and forget about for a week. I love how hassle free it is, my insurance even covers it 100% so I don't have a co-pay. I haven't had any issues with it coming loose, but that is one of my few complaints. When I pulled it off the first it felt like a waxing strip, but that's a price to pay for how convenient it is, now I use a little lotion to get it off. I am accustomed to having a few breakouts here and there, however I've been getting huge cystic pimples. They have cleared up and I haven't had any for the last week though. My breasts have gone from D to pushing a DD & extremely tender. I am somewhat moody as well."


"Was switched to luvox from lexapro since we found out my anxiety and depression is stemmed from my OCD. Ruminations and cleaning OCD tendencies. I cannot explain how INCREDIBLE that has completely flipped my mindset off (in a good way). I no longer need to take my high doses of xanax to sleep, I do not need to take xanax during the day, I also do not need to take my adderall to concentrate anymore. I know this is an older drug, but I wish I would have known about this before the lexapro!"


"I took this one a few years back and lost over 20 pounds in about 3 months. I'd have kept using it but didn't have the money to keep going to the doctor. Some years have passed and I'm back at another doctor who's giving me Tenuate. It's nothing like I remember with the phentermine. I was probably in better shape my first time around because Tenuate just doesn't seem the same. I don't have nearly as much energy as I did with phentermine. When I was taking phentermine I was constantly looking for something to do. I was always cleaning and moving furniture when I wasn't walking to school in the city."


"I've been on sprintec for over a year. I have had no problems with it and haven't gotten pregnant:) We don't even use condoms. Only issue I had with sprintec was when I first started taking it I would throw up because I wasn't used to this type of medication. One year later everything seems to be fine!"


"I went to a weight loss clinic on 5/15/2015 and received a "super slim shot" and a prescription for 37.5 mg phentermine. I filled the prescription on Saturday and started taking the pill on Sunday, so this is day 3 on the pill. So far I have not been hungry at all, I still force myself to eat a greek yogurt in the morning, and snack on mixed nuts throughout the day, and eat protein for dinner, which I have to force because I am still not hungry by dinner, I may eat a chicken breast. I am 5'3 and my starting weight on Friday was 187, and I weighed myself last night just to see, and I was down to 183.8 so in just a few days I was down 3.2 lbs,, but I know weight will fluctuate so I am giving it time before I really consider anything lost."


"I didn't find this helped at all. Made it so much worse if anything. Until I came across a mudmask and a blemish treatment which I was told would help out a whole lot. And it did. Because of the mask being made from all natural ingredients... it cleaned it up a treat... whilst removing all my blackheads at the same time! It's definitely the best thing ever for drawing all the crap out!!"


"This is the only medicine which has worked for my schizophrenia. It's a nightmare to take to begin with, need to gradually increase the dose, but has kept me reasonably well and coping for years. Only side effects for me are dry mouth and solar sensitivity, I don't like the sun anyway so no matter. But the dry mouth does limit the dose. It helps me sleep too."


"Had a bout of what I was beginning to think was food poisoning. Long story short I landed in the ER. This was prescribed for me along with antibiotics. I have taken exactly one pill, one, a little over 48 hours ago. Have gone from extreme diarrhea (every 15 - 30 minutes) to not being able to go at all. From one dose. Does this stuff work as advertised? Unequivocally Yes! I am a bit nervous at this point as to whether I will ever be able to 'go' again? I have to admit - yes!"


"PSA 28 to 4 in one week. Fatigue only side effect. Prednisone effect- no pain in bad knee(which has nothing to do with prostate cancer)."


"Works great for my Narcolepsy; the only complaint I have is that the price is prohibitive. It is the only medication that has worked effectively for my condition and with dramatic results."


Polysporin First Aid Antibiotic Ointment

"The best thing on the market, you need to choose the oil based ones and it works miracle."


"So far so good second day dry mouth has started which sucks but othwise I know I'll be going OK I will add more as time goes on I need support system and I don't have one thank you"


"I have been on 10mg of viibryd for about a month.  I have a low drug tolerance and I couldn't get past the side effects of the other drugs I've tried.  Viibryd had very minimal side effects that are now gone (vivid dreams and brain zaps). My anxiety has significantly lessened and I'm out of that depression fog. What a relief to be out of that negative state and constant worry! It just goes to show that differnt drugs work differently for everyone. Viibryd isn't well reviewed, but the ones that are highly scored didn't work for me at all. Don't give up or be afraid to find your perfect fit."


"I took Clomid for the first time days 5-9 and the side effects are the worst! I already have heart problems so I thought that's what was going on. I went to the ER for severe chest pain and all tests were negative. After researching I realize it's bad indigestion. I also have Fibro and am used to back pain but Clomid gave me the worst back pain I've ever felt along with nausea and migraines. I have to lay down or walk hunched over so relieve some pain. I've also been extremely fatigued.I had to nap 3 times a day for a few hours and still feel exhausted. My uterus feels so sore and heavy. I'm on cycle day 15 and still showing a flashing (OPK) Ovulation Predictor Kit.  Hopefully tomorrow is peak day so I can get pregnant already!"


"Amazing, it has absolutely changed my life, from the first day I started it. My smoking has decreased drastically. I am highly motivated to do everything I need to do in a day. I am thinking clear, I haven't had a single nap since taking it! A life changing pill for me!!"


"I'm in my mid 20's and bipolar. I was put on this to treat ADHD since I've always struggled in school and I'm completely unorganized. The first day I took it, it put me to sleep. After a few days of sleeping a lot I could focus! The only bad thing was when I worked out I would get funny vision, like I was going to pass out. Which doesn't help since I'm a fitness professional. I think the lower dosage worked better, once I went up to 60  I couldn't focus, slept all the time, felt depressed, and the vision got worse. I gave this medicine 8 weeks just to see if the side effects would dissipate and sadly it didn't. I did lose a few pounds, but nothing drastic (a loss of 3lbs.. I'm female 5"3 and 105)."


"I had migraines for years but then I was prescribed atenolol for prophylactic treatment. I took a daily dose of atenolol. I am migraine free since 2007. Yay!"


"I took Macrobid for 3 days, I started having muscle aches. Flu like symptoms and stiff neck and nausea."


"I have been taking Wellbutrin SR to treat stress related depression.  I have had no side effects and have experienced a large increase in my libido.  I feel like a kid again."


"Nothing seemed to work for my restless legs until I tried Neurontin. The first night I felt like my legs were just another part of my body, they didn't hurt or jerk."


"When I started receiving calls from my kindergarteners teacher at least once a week, I couldn't believe it. But after several months of struggling through the seemingly easiest of tasks I decided to take my daughter to counseling. Her counselor and psychiatrist took all of the right steps to diagnose her ADHD, and after 6 weeks of holding on to the prescription, I gave in and started administering the 20mg of Vyvanse. My daughter made a complete turn-around! Happy in the morning, soaring at school, and even sleeping well at night! In a month after starting Vyvanse, she was awarded "student of the month", by the end of school she was "most improved student of the year". My only concern is that she already needs the 30mg dose."


"I had never really suffered from constant acne, until I got on birth control which pretty much turned my face into a cystic acne infestation. I was torn apart, troubled, and with no self confidence. I started wearing hats everywhere I went, spent hundreds on facials and makeup, till I drew the line and finally decided to go to the dermatologist. She prescribed to me Acanya in the morning along with Ziana for the evening. I have to say the results are miraculous, I've been on it for about three weeks and my face has completely cleared off. I do not have one zit, only acne marks that will hopefully go away with time. I also started Solodyn 105 mgs four days ago, taking one tablet everyday before bed and I feel like that is what has made my cystic acne disappear."


"I have tried zoloft and cymbalta. All equally effective in my anxiety level but I find effexor has been the best. While I still don't have a ton of energy, I was a zombie on the other two. My libido is back to normal and I'm not hungry 24/7. Zoloft would be my second choice, except I needed to nap everyday and I was always hungry. Cymbalta was very difficult to get off of and I was also very tired. Negative effects of effexor include  insomnia - i have urges where i HAVE to get up- but usually melatonin and reading, and NO electronics before bed help that (or xanax as needed.) I also sweat a lot more on it. But having more energy and more libido make it worth it. I have to take a beta blocker because I speak infront of people."


"helps with delusions and hallucinations with schizophrenia, it doesn't help anxiety but does aid sleep at start but now I can take 400-800 at night and it still won't make me tired just calms my schizophrenia down a lot. It is a very good antipsychotic not sure how people use it for sleep and it did help with sleep for the first week and now it  doesn't make me sedated or tired but sedates my mind."


"I'm NEVER constipated so this experience was quite disturbing for me.  It took me almost two weeks to realize that my stomach pain was due to constipation.  And even then I was afraid to use a laxative as I've never had to use one ever in my life.  I tried a Fleet enema 1st with very minimal results.  Then two days later I couldn't take it anymore.  (Every time I ate my stomach began to hurt either immediately or a short time after) so my mother told me to try magnesium citrate.  I was scared to try it because a few people complained of throwing up after drinking it. Didn't want to add to the issues so I went ahead and got the cherry flavor. Couldn't drink it all but got about 8 of the 10 ounces down.  "Clear skys" now! (no throw up)."


"I started taking Zoloft about 4 years ago, prescribed because I have always had a lot of social anxiety and was in a lonely place. Started with 50mg then went back to docs after 4 months and he increased me to 100mg. I was on 100mg for a year but decided to come back down to 50mg as at times I felt a bit too groggy on 100mg, plus I struggled with sex - had no desire really, felt a bit of a zombie. I also saw a therapist every week for a year, but stopped that because I felt we reached a dead end and it was a waste of money. So 4 years later I'm still pretty lonely, still have mild depression which comes and goes and still struggle a bit with people. However I would say all of the bad stuff is about half as intense thanks to Zoloft/Sertraline"


"Another review after 12 weeks no change in my condition, Taltz is not helping and having same symptoms as described by another reviewer. Fine rash on chest, face and Genital itching. My Psoriasis lesions are starting to get worse on my hands , elbows and ankles. I had been on Otezla which worked for about 18 months, then I developed severe Psoriasis on my hands that I cannot get rid of, Humira made everything worse and I developed thick plaques on hands and feet, Taltz helped the plaques on palms hands and bottom feet but cannot clear top of my hands which are my most visible areas and very embarrassing. I take Estilar , clobetasol, and triamcinaline topically. Nothing is working. Biological have made my Psoriasis worse than ever."


"I used this medication for 28 days for PEP.  While I have tested negative at 6 weeks, I have had the side effects of neuropathy (felt like Reynaud's syndrome) and reversible kidney stress (decreased potassium and phosphate, elevated creatinine).

I believe this may be due to mitochondrial dysfunction, with many references to support this
"


"I have just read through most of the comments here and find them accurate about the side-effects: no ejaculate while on it, but stopping the drug ends that problem after a little while.

I had a procedure called Urolift where my urologist (with local anesthesia) inserted 4 tiny devices that open up the urethra (like shoring up a tunnel) to create more flow. During the operation in his office and while awake, one of the little clips didn't attach fully and when I urinated a few days later it came out (OUCH). After that no more pain from it traveling out but lots of bloody urine for a few days.

Bottom line: the procedure worked out well even with three of them implanted. It has been a year and just had bladder infection cured with Cipro."


"My muscles in my shoulder get really tense because of a pinched nerve in my neck and I also have osteoarthritis and lower back pain this stuff when I have a flare up this stuff works wonders. They now make it in generic so I can afford it now I used to not be able to afford it when it was brand only."


"The only pain medicine that work for my headaches and joint pain. I am only 20 years old and have been on them since I was 14. I also take xanax for my anxiety and pseudo tumor cerebri. Works great."


"This medicine is useless. I suffer from extremely bad panic attacks an have been in and out the hospital everyday for 3 days. This medicine made everything worse. I'd wake up multi times if I could even go back to sleep to go back to the ER at 2am. I don't know if it's a real medicine or a water/sugar pill, but it doesn't work for panic attacks. They say you can force your self to believe a medicine can work or not work, not in this case it DOESNT work. Benzodiazepines may me abused an bad for you, but it's better then asking someone who is suffering like us to use medicine that don't work at all for most people."


"This was the first pill my doctor perscribed me when I started on birth control and I only took it for one month because of the side effects.  I had spotting the first week, acne worsened and my moods were absolutely uncontrollable.  During the third week of my pack I cried every day at little things that would normally not phase me. I stopped the pill before I even finished the month because of how out of control I felt.  This was not a good first experience for me and made me skeptical to try any other pills."


"One week after taking a five day course of Norflox I now, for past six weeks, have symptoms of peripheral neuropathy;  my legs and arms are burning and tingling, several fingers are numb yet burning, sharp pain behind one knee when getting up sometimes or for no reason:  this is a dangerous drug, do not take it, in my opinion.   If a matter of life or death, maybe."


"I've been on Chateal for 3 months now and I did not gain weight, nor did I get crazy mood swings. The only thing that happened was my period came at the same time every month and I didn't get pregnant. It works great!"


"I had a very strange episode of a serious neck cramp. I was still able to move it, but if I did, I would get a constant dull to sharp pain. In fact, I could only sit in one particular position in order to subside the pain. I took some Skelaxin and a small dose of Hydrocodone. It was without a doubt the best way to get rid of that pain. After about 45 minutes of taking it, I was feeling 90% without sleepiness or 'weirdness.' Highly recommended."


"Took a 2`0 mg tablet before foreplay. Did not experience a good erection for penetration. Doctor gave me a sample pack of 3 to try."


"I have been on Reqip for about 6 years and have a severe case of RLS. My legs spasms have worn out many sheets. I would have to say I have a love/hate relationship with requip. I take 5mg tablet 1 hour before bed. Almost like clock work 22 to 25 mins later I feel miserable with a constant feeling of the need to puke but I don't. I have always had insomnia which got worse on requip. I have been able to address the insomnia with trazadone and it works well. I have read others post and I think I am going to talk with my doctor about spreading it out in 3 different times to take it. In the past 6 months I have begun to have twitching in my arms, shoulders and wrists."


"Makes me tired. New symptoms since I started it, joint pain, depression. May not be continuing this."


"Well I've taken this medication after I gained weight on anxiety meds. I gained about 50 lbs from the medication for anxiety. I took phentermine in the fall and the weigh fell off. I was 200.5 and  managed to get down to 148 in 10 months. I am a female and I'm 5'8. I was very pleased with the results.I usually go on and off to prevent my body from becoming tolerant to the effects.  I am pleased. I would recommend it to lose weight."


"I personally like this BC
I tried the regular Junel 1/20 but because I'm iron deficient my dr recommended this one. The only downside I would say is that it gives me cramps, nothing crazy. But I don't usually get cramps so this was a change for me but they are mild nothing I couldn't handle. My skin is clear, it's made me lose weight in general. My sex drive actually gotten better. My period is super light last about 3 days (: I've been on this one for a month now with the regular junel 1/20 I was on it for 6 months and it was basically the same. I'm happy"


"I suffered from awful anxiety for years. I tried a wide range of antidepressants and nothing ever worked. This medicine saved my life. Within days of trying it I was off of Ambien and Ativan which I had needed to sleep and function. It did make me super hungry and I did gain weight. But whats a few pounds to trade in for happiness. If I ever suffered severe anxiety problems again, I would try it in a second. It was actually one of the very first medicines my doctor recommended, but I did not try it due to possible liver side effects. That was a big mistake. I wasted years on the anti-depressant roller coaster. If it wasn't for the increased appetite, I would gladly pop one of those little miracle pills every night for the rest of my life."


"Been taking 320/12.5  one week. BP is still all over the scale. The only thing I have noticed is I have really strange dreams."


"After having about the worst case of bipolar one you can imagine...yes I was hospitalized twice... I am a productive and absolutely a normally functioning member of society. I am in nursing school for my BSN at a very esteemed university and am married happily. The only thing I don't like about Geodon is if I'm manic and have to take it during the day instead of before bed.... I literally eat 3x as much as I normally would. Other than that this medicine has saved my life."


"I started contrave in October of 2016 with a starting weight of 159. In the beginning I didn't notice any changes, I actually felt like I was eating more for the first few weeks. I had a few side affects - headaches, nausea, constipation, hot flashes but those have since gone away. It's now Feb 2017 and I'm happy to say that I am down 25 pounds!!! Very happy with the results"


"I can understand some of the confusion people have on this product.  From my perspective, it is unusable as the sole source of insulin.  It seems negative reviews are trying to do just that.

However, if you pair its use with a pump and use exclusively for corrections and/or carb heavy meals, it is a huge improvement to the manageability of my type 1 (I imagine most type 1's can relate to those times when you screw up a carb estimate, and it normally takes hours to normalize again.  With Afrezza, it is resolved in an hour)."


"Lost 8 kilos in the first 4 weeks and then slowly put it all back on over the next three months. Still taking the medication but about to stop because it obviously does not work for me. Chronic side effects of nausea, diarrhea and extreme fatigue!"


"Taking this 2x per day (every 12 hours) for 1 week straight while eating or with milk. I've experience abdominal cramps on the lower left side, some nausea (but not all the time), and definitely have had the gross, metallic taste in my mouth whenever I take it. On day 4, and discharge/smell seems to be gone.

I've noticed that I barely notice the taste if I drink some milk before, then tilt my headback and let the pill drop, and then more milk until I don't feel/taste it anymore. I've even accidentally bit the pill when I was eating milk and cereal, and while it made me want to vomit for a split second, the taste was completely gone as soon as I washed it down with milk. Never taking this without milk again."


"I've been on Contrave for a little over a week! I'm down 12 pounds! This is huge for a girl who excerises and still doesn't lose weight! It definitely curbs my cravings and I don't binge! So thankful for this medicine!!!! Its worth every penny!"


"Diagnosed with major depressive disorder 9 months ago, my whole life just fell apart, I coudn't sleep, couldn't eat, was having panic attacks every day. Tried every herbal remedy on the market but none of them worked. Started lexapro 4 months ago and it has helped to lift my mood by about 40% I am sleeping better but I am always tired and foggy headed everyday. I find myself being happy and full of life only 1 day a week then I will go back to the same way again, I am so sick of the ups and downs, last week I had 2 good days then a whole week of crying and feeling terrible. After 4 months It is just not doing what I thought it would have done for me. I feel like I will never get my old like back"


"I'm an undercover agent and was dealing with a lot of stress. The stress was causing trouble in my personal life. Celexa has been a great help. I am prescribed 20 mg a day.  I take it before bed to avoid the sleepiness during the day.  My family can't believe the difference in me.  There were some side effects in the beginning, however they went away after 3 or 4 days.  I highly recommended this medication."


"This patch sucks! It's a complete waste of money. It doesn't do anything! Waste of money!"


"My experience began when I was a child. I had very strange headaches, eventually diagnosed as "ice pick migraines" They had all the symptoms of the normal migraine you hear about, except, they were so painful, my feet would draw up, my eyes would roll back, and I went almost stiff from the pain....nothing helped. When I hit my thirties, I started having issues with my spine, my pancreas, and my kidneys. Percocet is the only therapy out there that keeps me from wanting to die. My blood is thinner, and I have issues as stated, with my pancreas and stomach, so I cannot take OTC drugs, they make me sick. Very sick. But, of course, no one believes that until they see what happens to me. Its kind of a living hell. I say if we can help, help."


"When I started Mononessa a year ago, the first month I had headaches and cramps, but they went away after 1 cycle. Sometimes I get breakthrough bleeding, but for the last 2 cycles I have not had any breakthrough bleeding. My skin has cleared up with no acne."


"Thank you Plan B! on May 5th (Friday) I had intercourse with my boyfriend and he finished inside of me! a complete mess! I was sure I would of gotten pregnant off of that! I freaked out and ran to pharmacy and took the pill within 1 hour. On Sunday May 7th the same thing happen again! (I know I know shame on me!) but once again he slipped up and I took the pill within 1 hour again, I had no side effects expect tiredness and today I got my period May 12th! Thank god! I know plan b works because obviously I got my period so I'm not pregnant but I also know I'm very fertile so that fact that I'm very fertile and considering my boyfriend came  inside of me and I didn't get pregnant thanks to Plan b that's a true miracle!"


"Gave this a 5 rating because it did prevent pregnancy, but having said that, the side effects are not worth it. No legitimate weight gain but water weight and bloating caused fluctuations daily of up to 5 lbs up or down (normally my weight is the same daily). Night sweats due to low estrogen, flat hair, duller complexion, total lack of sex drive, and dry like the Sahara down there due to thickening of cervical mucus. Definitely irritability and mood swings. Stopped mid pack month one and feel much better after one day of this out of my system. I was skeptical a pill could do all of the after reading the reviews, but 2 weeks in, experiencing it myself, they are all right. Not worth trying to stick it out in case body adjusts in a few months."


"When my urologist recommended Cipro to combat my prostatitis (500mg 2x per day for 6 weeks!) I wanted to make sure long-term use was OK.  So I went online....and it looked really scary!  People totally slamming the drug.  But I went for it anyway.
Seems to have done the job I needed it to do and there are ZERO side effects.  I mean ZERO.  People talk about vomiting - I take the pill with or without food and not even a tiny bit of nausea.  No fatigue, no aching or numbness, no appearance of tendon issues....nothing.  Maybe it's just me and I know not everybody is the same but worked for me.
The only reason I gave a 9 and not a 10 is because I still have a couple of days to go before I am done with the 6 week course."


"I have had MDD for a while along with anxiety.  I have tried so many medications, and am medication resistant.  Prior to taking Fetzima, I was on Topamax which helped me quite a bit when I was not in a good place. However, it was not helping anymore, so my doc thought maybe going to an SNRI may help. I had mostly been on SSRI's before.  The Fetzima really helped me with motivation and getting engaged in my day.  I am taking 80 mg right now.  I had tried the 120mg, but went back down since I couldn't tell a difference between the two.  I have been on Fetzima now for about 4-5 months.  I really don't have any side effects.  The first week or two, I had a little nausea, but no SE now :).  Best Wishes!"


"It works wonderfully. I've tried many antidepressants and they all left me feeling, not sad. But I still felt lethargic and hopeless. Effexor gives me motivation and drive. Helps me get out of bed in the morning and off the couch during the day. And it started working within the first week. The ONLY drawback I've found is it really decreases my libido and you CANNOT miss a dose. It will really ruin your day."


"I went on this drug with the promise of a reduced risk of weight gain, something I experienced a lot of with my previous drug, Lexapro. I was put on Wellbutrin XL 150mg once a day and the first two weeks were miserable. I attribute it to not only the adaption of the new drug but also the withdrawal of Lexapro. The first two weeks of Wellbutrin I was extremely nausea and couldn't eat much more than a few bananas and some juice a day. I was also exhausted and would sleep for hours after classes and go to bed early as well. Now that I've been on it for 8 weeks I'm quitting cold turkey as it has increased depression and suicidal thoughts and I feel worse than before."


"I have been in pain for years and started Lyrica. I cannot believe the difference. It is shocking. My pain is so much better. My bladder spasms are gone. I sleep so well. Wake up in the morning without hurting my back and ribs to breath. My chronic diarrhea is gone too. The only thing I have noticed on the negative side is I am super hungry, which doesn't surprise me. Overall, loving it and praying it continues to work. No side affects other than being hungry:)"


"I am not sure how many months I have been on this medication, but while I have been on it I have managed to gain almost 10 pounds. I do not feel like I over-eat either. The weight just seems to pile on.  I feel incredibly sleepy during the day.  So much so that on most days I take a long nap.  I have very little energy. My stomach seems to bloat out more. Otherwise I seem to be doing just fine, both mentally and physically.  So if you don't mind being fat, lazy, and lifeless; but not crazy; this might just be the drug for you!"


"I have generalized epilepsy and very hard to control ... fycompa was working like the magical drug for the first 2 months then all the side effects hit me like a rock , the first was anger I would get mad and irritated very easy which wasn't like me and personality change is a big one ... being someone your not..

all the bad side effects I got . but seizure free now for a year.."


"I got the shot, the second one hurt the most. The pain in my arm only lasted maybe 2 hours at the most. When I got the last shot the nurse injected it into the joint of my shoulder, which hurt for a lot longer but that was the nurses fault, not the Gardasil. I had no side effects. I believe getting the vaccination was a smart thing to do and was worth it."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Horrendous.  I can't believe these people who say "don't listen, don't believe" all the horror stories, or "anxiety hype?"
Newsflash, people, different things affect different people differently.  No problem for you? GREAT!!!! Don't discount other people's perfectly legitimate comments.
I for one could not finish the first bottle, not even opening the second.  The first gulp was not too hard to keep down.  It got progressively worse with every sip or gulp.  Tried to dilute it more, no good.  Tried lemonade, no help.  I made it two thirds of the way through the first bottle, if that stuff ever touches my mouth again I will auto-vomit."


"This is the only medication that has worked for me and I've tried just about all of them out there. This will be the 3rd time I've started and stopped it but that was only because of the high cost. Now I found out there's financial assistance (after ALL the money I've shelled out ahhhhhhhhhh)!!!!!!

I can't wait for this to kick in (day 2 being back on it) because I know I will feel like my old self again. Can't wait!!!!!"


"Zarah is officially my favorite birth control I've tried. Other pills and the NuvaRing gave me very bad side effects (acne, moodiness, weight gain), but I've been taking Zarah now for almost 3 months and I've experienced no bad side effects. It has only enhanced my life! My periods are now much shorter (3-4 days long) and lighter, my skin has been clearer than usual, and since taking Zarah I have had absolutely no period cramps, which I used to get very badly. This pill also doesn't affect my mood or weight. When I was on NuvaRing, my emotions immediately went crazy and I felt paranoid about everything, so I am very glad to have found something that doesn't turn me into an emotional wreck! Love Zarah, can't say a bad thing about it."


"I'm 26 and preparing for my first colonoscopy looking to confirm why I have so many problems with my 'tummy'. Moviprep starting working within 45 mins for me. It tastes vile and was really hard to get down. However, other than being confined to the bathroom I'm doing ok. For someone who's used to spending a lot of time in the bathroom this is actually a bit of a breeze. Yes you feel a bit weak, but it isn't the same as when you have a stomach bug. Be prepared to drink something that tastes awful though. If you pretend it's a drinking game it's tolerable."


"I am back again.  I always revert back to zoloft.  Beside Paxil and Buspar, those are the only REAL meds with anti anxiety properties to them that are NOT benzo and addictive.  The other anti depress can work but I really need it for anxiety 100% not depression.  I had reported that I got headaches and body aches due to jaw clenching and grinding teeth and scrunching up my body at night but I will take that over the other side effects from other meds.  If i stay at 100 mg and not go up to 150 mg then sex is not affected.  Never gain weight from this med.  I will give it a try again and deal with headaches!  This one truly does work for SAD, GADS, anxiety etc...  Oh its way cheaper than the other newer ones I was trying."


"My boyfriend and I had sex July 17 and the condom broke , about 1 hr after we both went to pharmacy and got Plan B I took it right away and only experienced being nauseous and dizzy , my period was suppose to come July 23 but it came 5 days later on the 28 , it's natural for the pill to make your period come later than expected but all in all the pill worked for me so just relax and let the pill do it's work."


"Recently able to get the XR in generic form.  This has been a complete life changing medication for me.  It has improved all areas of my condition to a point I am fully capable to manage life without any other assistance."


"I am tapering off of Paxil and on to generic Lexapro by taking one-third my normal dose of Paxil at night and a half dose of escitalopram in the morning. On the fifth day I will just be taking Lexapro at 20 mg daily, per my doctor. I am doing fine, but back when I first started my Paxil in 2009, I had an initial spike in anxiety; I had upped my dose too soon on the advice of a social worker without checking with my doctor, and I was extremely anxious, so I took Xanax temporarily with the Paxil, and I gradually started feeling better over a few weeks, and over the years Paxil has helped. I'm switching to Lexapro, though, since I have started to gain a little weight, and I hope that I can lose those pounds by swiching."


"I gave this a 10 but I am only on day 10 of Harvoni. So far so good, no real side effects, no headache no fatigue. My skin is itching a bit and have read other comments that they also had itchy skin. If that is all the side effects I'll take it. I have a little insomnia at night but had some before treatment anyway. I do drink 80 0z of water daily eat clean and work out at gym daily. I have had this monster for 40+yrs and just found out. Yes I will clear this virus and will get back with rating once cleared . I am on it for 12 weeks. I take in am 7:30 or 8:00.Good luck to everyone I think this is the miracle drug-Think positive."


"I've been on contrave for 2 weeks.  My side effets are nausea, weird dreams, but not sure if I'll continue."


"This drug gave me my life back. I have had no side effects. My insurance would not cover Savella at first but now they do. Thank you to the researchers and company that puts it out. Hopefully there are no negative long term effects."


"Second day on Provigil. I feel great! I took my first pill yesterday at around noon and I did not have trouble sleeping. I went to sleep a little later than usual because I could though! I feel more alert but I don't know if I want to continue to take it everyday, that's why I gave it a 9 out of 10.  I woke up this morning pretty fatigued and I almost didn't want to take it because I wanted to rest, obviously since I was fatigued. But once I took it, I felt great again! If you have MS and insurance wont cover it because it is not approved for use for MS patients, have your neuro file a claim to why it would help you! Don't let insurance stand in the way. Everyone who has chronic fatigue due to MS should try this pill."


"I had Implanon inserted in March 2010. In five months I have gained 25 pounds, I am VERY irritable, I had amazing skin and I am now developing acne.  I was recently hospitalized for four days because of severe cramping and bleeding.  I rarely sleep a full night because I have so much pain.  I have also noticed my fingers getting numb and I am developing unexplained nerve damage.  I have trashed my stomach lining because I was taking so much ibuprofen to control my headaches.  My relationship is on the rocks because I haven't had a sex drive since April and haven't had sex in months.  I have also been bleeding continuously."


"I have ulcers and I have a lot of nausea associated with them. I take a 10mg pill and in most cases break it in half and the nausea is gone. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to kick in but it works."


"The best asthma medicine I have ever used (and I've used literally every one available). The side effects (slight light-headedness, mouth irritation) just went away within the first few days, apart from some sore muscles in the chest. All the dizziness, general muscle pain and slight fever I had on Pulmicort simply vanished, which is very nice. Moreover, my cough and mucus production has clearly gone down compared to Pulmicort."


"This is by far the best medicine for chronic back pain.  These pain doctor's need to realize not everyone is a drug addict.  All the other medication have serious side effects that they are substituting for narcotics.  The only side effect is constipation, but they now have prescription medicine for this."


"I am 23 years old and I have been on this bc pill for about 4 months. I truly hate it! I have had my period twice every month. During the white pills and not the brown ones.  I'll have horrible cramps before my period and while on it. Before I was on this bc pill, my breast would get tender and after my period was over my breast would go back to normal, but not on this pill. My breast are constantly in pain and it is horrible pain. I rarely ever got acne, now I have acne all the time.  I'll also get horrible lower back pain. I recently visited my OBGYN and she has agreed that this pill has been a nightmare. I do NOT recommend this pill!!"


"I was prescribed this medication for  hypertension.  At first I was given a dose of 10 mg and at that dose it didn't help that much. Then the doctor raised it to 40 mg and it works perfectly.  Instant results."


"I was on Lexapro for about 7 years in doses that ranged from 10 to 20 mg (I altered the dose with permission from my physician depending on my circumstances). Overall, it performed well for me and I was generally able to deal with the side effects (the greatest for me: drowsy and difficulty concentrating). About a month ago I decided that I wanted to be drug-free because I am not currently in situations that contribute to depression. I abruptly went off Lexapro (not recommended; should have tapered down) and now find myself in an unpleasant territory (volatile; irritable; impatient; headaches). Not happy with the new me so Doctor has suggested I try Celexa (10 mg). Will post a review after I give it a try. Smile!"


"After years of having awful period cramps to the point of the first 3 days of it starting I always had to call out of work because I could not do a thing but lay down. Heavy, very heavy bleeding. I have only been on this pill for a month and my first period was actually wonderful. Very light bleeding and almost hard to tell cramps. I even lost 8 pounds without even trying. My face has also cleared up. I have tried all sorts of different birth control, with nothing working closely as well as this. I hope it continues to work this great."


"I've be on this BC for 3 weeks now iv been spotting for about a week now I start the white pills tomorrow a little nausea after taking the pill but I'm sure it's because of empty stomach but other then that no other problems"


"I am 16 years old. I started taking Zoloft for my depression. I took it for a year and it worked, it made me happy for a few months but after a while I started noticing something. I had no remorse, I just didn't care about anything. I was like a zombie. someone in my family died and I didn't cry. I couldn't cry. It was very scary. I told my friends mom who also took it she said it did the same thing 2 her. So I knew I wasn't imagining things. If you feel like this or notice it in your children tell your doctor. I didn't like it at all."


"Been on abilify for 4 months and had to go off.  It's a great medicine for bipolar.  I could tell when I missed a dose because I would flip out.  The down fall on why I went off was the weight gain.  I gained 30 pounds in 3 months with just snacking.  Dr told me it slows the metabolism down.  I think it stopped it.  So give it a try."


"I was having heavy bleeding and long cycles, they would last over 2 weeks.  With my next cycle I started taking Levlen on day one and had no bleeding on day two.  I was surprised how quickly it worked to stop bleeding immediately."


"Been taking apri for 3 months; First 2 periods were fine no cramps, pretty normal. My last period I had was the worst period I ever had. Was extremely heavy, no cramps but the heaviest period I've ever had. My boyfriend says he's noticed changes in my mood, I'm very irritable and sad all the time. I feel bloated all the time, I've gained weight in my face and stomach. My acne seems to be the same few break outs here and there. Some days I have a very low sex drive, some days very high. Overall it works, just makes you feel super insecure. Was doing fine for years without birth control I think I'll be fine for another few years without it."


"Viberzi was given to me for ibs and I took 3 pills and ended up in the hospital for a week. I honestly thought this drug was going to kill me. I had severe pain in my chest and could not take in a full breath. The hospital doctors said my pancreas was swelled really bad and putting pressure on my lungs and it was because I had used viberzi."


"My outstanding physician and another member of the team recommended Cymbalta. I switched over from Zoloft and this medicaton works quite well. I suffer from Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, and severe nerve pains.

The side effects have been quite minimal. I'm more involved in the community through volunteer activities, working, and accomplishing my goals. I'm more social and interactive. My depression and anxiety have decreased by at least 60 percent. My body pain has decreased. I'm more physically active, eating healthier and just more up beat.

A special thanks goes out to my physician, his team and a fantastic representative who also recommended Cymbalta. Thank you for reading my review."


"I just started taking it. I am on the last row of my first pack. I have been having a huge amount of brown or red discharge/blood. I have had headaches, nausea, breast tenderness, back acne, everything. I think it's because I'm taking a lower dose of it like levonorgestrel 0.1 mg and ethinyl estradiol 0.02 mg so next time at the doctors I will get a high dose. "


"It is May 18 I started this pill 7 days ago,  my doc and I decided that I should take it because I am 310 pounds with a height of 5'9. On April 11th I had a total knee replacement so exercise right now is very limited but with this medication is great I jumped on the scale this morning and lost 9 pounds which is awesome, not really any side effects except dry mouth but that's OK because I am drinking a ton of water so that takes care of that. I love it because it takes away my hunger and my taste for sweets which is a huge thing for me. But I eat twice a day and take my pill after my breakfast and love the feeling of losing weight without much of any exercise."


"I've had classic migraines for 35 yrs. I've tried many medications. Many times I've had to go to the ER for acute relief. The past few years they have reduced but I still battle with them. I just had botox injections for the first time it has only been one week. The injections were not too bad, most I barely felt but a few, ouch! This week I've had three sinus type migraines and I am not pleased. I had a lot of swelling on my forehead and my eyelids swelled to the point I could see the skin in my daily vision. My neck got stiff but not bad. I got the injections on my forehead and temple area's only. I am still suffering for over 28 hours with my third headache. Botox did not agree with me."


"I am a health care professional and unfortunately have been addicted to opiates on and off for 4 years.  I originally injured my back.  Recently I started to abuse my opiate medications.  I was unable to stop taking them this time.  Suboxone is a miracle drug.  If I had known it was out there sooner I would have happily detoxed earlier.  It has given me my life back.  Thank you to whoever invented this amazing medication."


"I'm using this as a maintanence drug for sinus problems. It helps me breath and dries up the mucus. So far few and mild side effects. mild dizziness and upset stomach. Take with lots of food."


"Terrible terrible pill!
I started back on Yasmin about 2 weeks ago now and I have felt nauseous and fatigued since. And even worse, I am eating a lot more than usual.. wouldn't recommend!"


"I have been on this medicine for approximately one and a half weeks and it has improved my colitis immensely so far but I don't think I can continue to use it because of the cost. "


"Suffered for almost a week before heading to the doctor. My sinus infection had gotten so bad it lead to an ear infection. After trying to self medicate for almost a week (HUGE FAIL) I finally gave in. My lovely doctor prescribed  Augmentin. I started Augmentin Thursday and today I am almost feeling like myself again. No negative side affects for me whatsoever :) pretty satisfied "


"1st pill, headache, chills, left side of throat was soar and couldn't couldn't get out of bed. 2nd pill migraine headache, throat was feeling like closing. Took 2 days to get rid of headache and other side effect disappeared and back to normal within 4 days. Dr. tested urine no UTI.  This medication is not for me."


"I read all these reviews and I still took it. I told my doctor about the reviews and my concerns and she pushed me to try it so I did. Progressively I could not leave my house. I was so tired. I could only have the strength to shower once every 9 days. I felt myself becoming more and more tired and for some reason I just stayed with it- I gradually increased the dosage and ate it with food, all the tips everyone's said I've done because I wanted it so badly to work. But it has made me sick and I'm not sure if I've recovered even now, a month after stopping. The final straw was me starging to feel worse I had been in years. Please do not be like me. I saw the reviews and I did not listen."


"Horrid. Horrid on every level. Felt a YI coming on (I get them once or twice every summer) I usually go the Diflucan route but right now without health insurance I'm pretty limited. Decided to use the Ovule since it seemed quicker and less messy - HUGE MISTAKE. Please ladies, spare your poor vaginas this torture!!!! Reading the reviews on here is the only thing making me feel better because I can see I'm not alone! Inserted the Ovule at 11pm last night, and all day today have been dealing with ungodly burning and itching, the burn literally feels like fire. Calling out from work is not an option so I just had to sit and try not to cry or kill myself! It's now almost 7pm and STILL burning like all hell - not worth it!!!!"


"Son is making vast improvements in school.  Focus very much improved.  Self confidence increasing."


"Have been using Aricept for approximately 6 years and Namenda also."


"I got switched to this pill from an extended cycle pill when I visited a new doctor. I have tried every other pill and the extended cycle pill was really the only one that worked for me and I informed my doctor of this. He recommended for me to try this brand so I did. I'm on my second week of this pill and no joke I got 40 new pimples from starting this pill! My skin has never EVER been this bad and my whole forehead is covered in breakouts. I don't even want to leave the house with how bad my skin is and I've gained 10 pounds too. I have zero sex drive now too. I had beautiful skin while on my other pill and I'm going back to it and not even going to finish the pack. I can't do another day of migraines."


"April 1st, 2016 I finally decided to declare war against acne & visit a dermatologist to formulate an  attack plan.

I've had periods within my life where my skin would clear up with over the counter treatments but as an Bi-racial/African American woman I found that All skin types did not refer to "my skin type". I found that my skin loved the Winter and Fall while the rest of me loved Spring and Summer. Within a short 2 weeks I've seen drastic changes in my skin from the luster to the minimum break outs that I would normally see this time of year. I have noticed moderate dry peeling patches that a little moisturizer hasn't eliminated & more wind burned type chapped lips but would definitely recommend Amnesteem to my fellow mature women!"


"I have been using Alesse for about a week now and in that short amount of time it has been absolute hell! This is my first time on birth control so I thought everything was going to be fine, but boy was I wrong. The first and second day were fine but on the third day I had a family event to go too and on the way there I began to feel disgustingly nauseous. I've only felt that nauseous when I had mono and after I got my tonsils out. It made me feel so incredibly sick that I ended up passing out on the couch at the family get together. I've also been having really intense migraines, they've been so debilitating that I've almost burst into tears, the only reason I didn't was because it would have hurt far too bad. Do not use this pill!!"


"Been on this for about 6 months, people say it knocks you out, well I think that it only does this for the first 2 weeks I was on it I take 100mg twice  a day and 75mg before bed.  It is a very very good medication for schizophrenia as it really blocks most of the delusions and voices and also helps a lot keeping the temper under control but when you flip you really go nuts.  This med keeps very stable most of time and helps appetite very well I have not really gained to much weight but its best to do some exercise when you can, helps a bit with anxiety but not enough for me. So I'm currently waiting to go to psych doc to work something out to stop anxiety and I'm thinking lyica as benzos don't really do much for me. All in all very good medication"


"I was given Paxil 3 years ago. I didn't know what a basket case I was until I started getting better. No side effects at all. I will encourage any one to at least try it for 6 weeks it is a great drug if you truly need it."


"I am an active person with a healthy, gluten/dairy-free diet and within the first 2 months I gained nearly 40 pounds. I was crying all of the time, fatigued, and then my hair started falling out. It also lead to a suicide attempt.

Depakote may work very well for some, but for me it was worse than disease. Aother downside was the cost. With insurance it was nearly 150.00 dollars a month."


"Diagnosed with stage 4 with PC in my right hip. PSA for years was between 2.0 to 3.5. Went from 3.5 to 29 in one year ! I encourage all with a PSA of over 3.0 get a bone density test !
Started Luprone 30 day shot on July 5th 2016. First 3 months went from 29 to 3 so headed in the right direction. Bone pain reduced after first shot by more than 75%.
Hot flashes around the clock roughly 10 to 12 a day with a intensity level of about a 5 or 6. Very annoying but tolerable. Miscellaneous aches and pains in joints and muscles. Occasional foggy headed and definitely wake up to much to pee. I'm trying Flo-max now I hope to see some improvement. Fatigue is real!
I can't tell if this is harder on my Family than me! So far so good.

God Bless to ALL!"


"I started taking Gianvi four months ago for PMDD. I read reviews back then and was extremely worried about side effects. However my experience has overall been very good. Almost immediately my extreme emotions calmed down. Now I just have very minor symptoms for the few days before my period, but really nothing worse than normal PMS crankiness. All the physical symptoms are gone as well. Also, I've had moderate cystic acne for ten years, and my skin is the best it has been in a long time, not perfect yet, but steadily improving. The only side effect I have noticed is slight anxiety in the last month or two. However, it is totally manageable, and overall the benefits have totally outweighed the one drawback."


"My doctor tried Lexapro with me starting at the lowest dose of 5 mg all the way up to 20 mg.  Lexapro just didn't help with my depression.  It's one of those drugs that either works for you or not at all for others."


"I have been receiving natural hormone pellets for the past 6 months and feel great!  My blood work showed I had a very low level of thyroid, and I was put on the 30 mg in the morning ; as a result , I feel so much better.  I did gain weight but I cannot blame it all on the thyroid medication because I received the pellets the same time.  This week my thyroid medication was increased to 60mg, since my levels were still low, and I hope to stay at a low dosage.  I feel greater than before the hormone therapy and try to manage my food portions.  I will be buying the book called thyroid diet book to learn more about managing my intake of food.

The medication is working for me and I have not experienced hair loss and I hope not to."


"My experience with this has not been good so far. I previously lost almost 40 lbs before starting this birth control and have gained 20 lbs since i starting taking Trycyclen. I'm very active and eat very healthy, also my acne has come back in full affect. Not impressed, getting my doctor to switch me immediately"


"Taking it for Shingles pain. Seems to work well, but makes me tired and a bit dizzy. Doctor also prescribed an anti-seizure medicine, Gabapentin, so not sure which helped more. The combination seems to work really well for the nerve pain from Shingles. I would ask my Dr. for these if I ever get shingles again. I went from pretty bad pain to it feeling like someone is tickling me, and it's slightly unpleasant."


"Great for fibromyalgia"


"I went through a medical abortion and I decided to get the Mirena IUD because the pill wasn't working for me. I had mirena inserted 9 days after my abortion.
After my insertion, I felt no pain. I drove home pretty happy with my decision and relaxed for the rest of my day. Six hours later, I started getting really horrible cramps. It was so bad that I began having second thoughts, almost as bad as the abortion... Laying down, some hot soup and a heating pad made things tolerable.
The next day, the cramps dramatically subsided, and by the end of my first week, the cramps were nonexistent or very rare. It's been a month and I'm still spotting, but I'm very happy with my decision so far. Btw my boyfriend never feels it and he's at least 7in..."


"This medicine works fast and it is the best I have had so far for acute cluster headache. Highly recommended."


"I wouldn't be able to leave the house without this medication. I had gallbladder surgery and since then have suffered major cramps and diarrhea daily."


"I've been on my 15 day free sample. I can certainly tell a difference in my appetite. Basically, I'm never hungry. But I still have to fight the urge to eat. I now see that I love to eat, so I find myself eating even though I'm "full."  I'm hoping this will change."


"Unisom definitely makes good on its word. Within about 15-30 min after taking a pill, drowsiness comes into play, with sleep following soon after. Expect irritability. Especially when someone or something is causing you to come in and out of your sleep. After waking, expect 4-5 hours of drowsiness, and at least 5-8 hours until all side ffects clear."


"I started taking Micronor pill after the Cerell pill didn't agree with me. I was on Micronor for 3 weeks and had to stop it, I was getting different side effects, my breasts were so sore I could barely touch them and I was getting cramp constantly (upto the point I was taking tablets every four hours) and then I started getting really weird cramps which I can only describe as contractions, I felt hot and sweaty with these pains and felt like I was going to pass out, I stopped taking it after I had 3 of these attacks as it was making me feel unwell. Has anyone else had this side effect on Micronor pill? I haven't had any since stopping this pill. The only good thing about it was it did actually stop the bleeding."


"I was put on Suboxone 2mg about 2 years ago for opiate dependence.   When my back pain got really bad.  I went to a Dr. who dealt with addicts and with their chronic pain.  He put me on the 8mg films and since then life has become much better.  This just not take's away the cravings, but also takes the pain."


"UPDATE: I got the Paragard almost exactly a month ago, so far everything seems great, noticed a lot more discharge then usual but very watery. My period was actually better with no cramps. Did spot a week before my period on/off. My boyfriend can feel the strings at times. I did have really bad cramps one time during sex like labor pains almost for about 10 mins, not sure if it has to do anything with the iud. Anyway I would recommend if you get this iud use it with something else like condoms or have him pull out just to be on the safer side!"


"Tried this to see if it was any better than doxylamine...It wasn't, in fact I found that it hardly makes me tired at all. I took 50mg, which is supposed to be equivalent to 25mg of doxylamine, but I found that for me the doxylamine was better. I guess everyone is different, though considering that doxylamine has a higher rating, I guess I'm not the only one who thinks it's better."


"I was prescribed Microbid for a UTI that I had for about 2 weeks. I took 2 pills so far 100mg each. I have stomach issues so I took mine with vanilla yogurt and had no nausea or vomiting. I highly suggest yogurt when taking antibiotics. It works like a charm. I have had no bad issues or side effects. I already feel better after 2 pills.
Give the medication a chance it's working to kill bad bacteria which can make anyone feel yucky. Good luck!!!"


"I love this birth control. It's more effective than female sterilization. I never have to worry about pregnancy and it is absolutely no maintenance. I know some girls are hesitant because it's weird having something under your skin but you CANNOT feel it there. The insertion procedure is quick and painless except for the pinch of the shot from the local anesthetic.  Since insertion 6 months ago, I've gotten my period 3 times - but just very light spotting. The first two times the spotting lasted 10 days, this last time it lasted for only 2 or 3. I did gain 10 lbs since insertion but it's hard to know if this was caused by the implant or by going out to eat/drink more often with my boyfriend or both. I have had no problems losing the weight."


"Pros: no pregnancy.

Cons: 2 week periods. itchy scalp, dandruff. Facial acne. Shoulder, back, chest, upper arm acne. Emotional instability. Easily irritated. Weight gain.

I had this thing in for 2 months and had 'gained' 10 pounds by the time I got it removed. 48 hours later, and I've already lost 4 of these 10 pounds. This, in turn, led to me having zero confidence in myself. I am usually very confident. The acne was absolutely unbearable too.

After removal, my face is already clearing up. I do have many symptoms that lots of women have after removal, such as nausea and feeling emotional. I'll take that over having some controlling device inside my body. Doctor said it was like my body didn't want it, because it popped out right away."


"I started taking Premarin 1.25mg when I lost my ovaries at the age of 28 to endometriosis. That was 33 years ago. My symptoms were lack of focus and energy. Within a week or two I was back to my normal self with the exception of the mood swings I'd had ever since puberty. Several years ago my GYN said there was an alert about Premarin and I would have to wean myself off of them. I went down to 1/4 of what I was taking within 7 months. I was taking large doses of ibuphrofen for over 25 years for inflammation in my back. When the Premarin was decreased and the ibuphrofen was taken down I developed extreme arthritic swelling in some of my joints. I was put back in the Premarin immediately and told to never get off."


"Not great for your gut long term"


"I've been on Levora for three years to help with my endometriosis. I've gained weight but most women do while taking any type of birth control. I used to have really bad acne now I only really breakout during my period, also my period is lighter and shorter. Every woman is different and our bodies aren't going to be the same as another woman talking the same birth control."


"Not much side effects, just see imprint of things, when upping the dosage. Feel drugged, like it's releasing chemicals in the brain, have quick 1 second pain in leg throughout the day now and again. Helps somewhat with ADHD."

"For nearly a year, I had very irregular, heavy and painful periods. I would skip a month, bleed for a month, skip two months, bleed a month. I have been on Necon 1/35 for two months now and I just had my lightest, easiest period ever. No cramps. No soaking through tampons within 15 minutes. I am so thankful for this medicine! It's seriously changed my life. I've had no side effects and my skin has dramatically cleared."


"If you're reading this, it's most likely bc you're freaking out. You took it wanna know if it works or deciding if you should take it, so I'll share my story. Had my period 6/11, had sex 6/28. Realized the jerk had taken the condom off during some point of the intercourse once he "pulled out" and his business was all over me. The next day about 22 hours later, I took plan b. Felt NOTHING. No bleeding, no cramps. Kinda felt like my period was coming but it never did. 16 days later it finally came! Plan B works! Also as a tip, stay calm and if necessary try to induce your period."


"I have been on numerous anti-depressants for 12 years, including combinations of Zoloft and Wellbutrin, Cymbalta, Lexapro, Prozac and many others.  I also suffer from severe anxiety and have panic attacks.  I used to HAVE to take at least 2 anti-depressants to keep my depression at bay and it seemed they would only work for about 18-24 months before the combination stopped working.  I began Viibryd right after it came on the market because I needed my sex life back.   Both my Psychiatrist and I were skeptical, but I have been on 20 mg Viibryd for 3 years now and have never felt better, happier or more optimistic.  I can have orgasms now, too! it has changed my life."


"Been a heavy drinker for over 6 years since a major operation that left me addicted on morphine. Replaced morphine with beer and wine everyday. From day one of taking Campral, all my cravings went away. I just don't feel like a drink anymore."


"I recently had an accident where a board hit the side of my ankle at a racing speed. About 20mph impact to my ankle, and a broken cuboid, 2 torn ligaments, and a broken ankle cap. I was prescribed (M37) Vicodin. I take it 3 times a day and I live pain-free. But one side affect ive noticed is constipation. Sounds funny but its true, taking vicodin on an empty stomach avoids this."


"Absolutely the worst drug I have ever taken. Caused me to feel like I had taken acid or was on an LSD trip. Strong lingering effects even 4 days after taking one dose. Significant issues with cognitive ability, change in taste, balance, drowsiness, disorientation, nausea, tingling in hands and legs, numb lips. Inability to think and caused hallucinations. Hospitalized 4 days post medication to administer DHE to counteract this drug. DO NOT TAKE this medication. No warnings on the prescription. Asked pharmacist if this would cause drowsiness, slow my mental function or have any adverse effects and he informed me that 200 mg was low dose and I would have no adverse side effects. Based on my research since taking the drug, this is NOT accurate"


"I was horrendous at talking publically and had run away from giving presentations so much so that I had changed jobs and never given a presentation in my life. I took a new job I knew I would love but involved presentations so went to my Doc. He prescribed Propanolol quick release and what can I say? Amazing...

Now timing and amounts are trial and error. I am a big guy - 6'2, 220 lbs so for me I stagger mine and take 80mg 1hr 45 before, 80 mg 1hr 30 before and 80mg 1hr 15 before and for that hour I am amazing. So 240 mg in total. I would not recommend starting out on this dose. For women try 20mg and men 40mg and move up if required.

Side effects for me - hard to sleep if I have taken after 2pm, extra sweating and no cardio within 4 hours"


"No no no.  A piece of copper implanted into your body? I had it in for 1 month. In that time, I felt like I was always about to have a period, I never had cramps before. I experienced anxiety, racing thoughts, repetitive thoughts, empty feelings, extreme anger and resentment, extremely itchy labia and skin, tremoring vision, nausea, headaches, terrible back pain, sharp joint pains, ear aches, sadness, and the worst TOTAL LOSS OF SEX DRIVE. Also vaginal dryness. I basically couldn't feel myself on the inside. The stress of unplanned pregnancy is easier to deal with than this. Anything that causes this as it "settles in" is just messed up. Just because the side effects may go away doesn't make it OK. It's your body numbing out to this hideous device."


"Had to stop 4 days in. Worst bloating ever! My clothes would fit me by the third day. It was so bad it took me 2 years before I considered any form of bc again."


"This was the worst medication I have ever taken. I took it at night on the first day and woke up at around 3 am feeling nauseous and just plain gross. I figured my body was just adjusting, so I took the next dose the following night. Within hours my arms and legs were in pain, it felt like I was laying on a bed of nails. I had numbness in my arms and legs for a a few days too. Needless to say I discontinued the medicine immediately."

"I feel so strongly about this drug that I really want to warn other women about taking it.  I am 32 years old and have been on various forms of Birth control since I was 15.  My insurance company switched me to this brand and I didn't think anything of it because pharmacist reassured me the generic was the same as ortho tricyclin lo which I had been on for years. 5 months after being on this drug I had to go on anti depressants, had crippling anxiety, constant nausea (I lost 15 lbs) and felt terrible. I finally realized the BC may have been cause to mood changes and stopped talking it. I felt completely better in 2 weeks, and even immediately went off the antidepressants. I still feel great. Be wary of this birth control!"


"Taking for Sciatica and lower back pain, 60 mg/day, 10/325 - not much relief, can go higher but really messes my stomach up.  May ask to go back to original Percocet at 30 mg which worked better.

Stomach pain from Norco is in lower stomach and sides where original pain was, so I'm also not sure if I'm treating the cure sometimes.

Kills appetite, mainly nausea, 60 mg lets me get through physical therapy okay, but am losing weight fast (15 pounds/1 month) from nausea - just not right one for me - not fond of Percocet either, but don't know of anything "between" that might work.

"


"I have been taking Adipex-P 37.5 mg for 8 months and I am happy to say that I have gone from a 26/28W to a size 16/18 and lost 100lbs to date.  It works.  But, I changed my eating habits, I eat healthy and maintain exercise.  Adipex was what I needed to find motivation to get off the couch and enjoy life again.  My blood pressure is down, my cholesterol is down, and I am no longer about to be a diabetic!  A happy and healthier me!"


"I noticed pain relief right away using this medicine, along with my other pain meds. A good medicine for inflammation."


"I took my father off this medicine.  Really awful side effects,  he had a hard time controlling his bowel and it wrecked havoc on his extremities.  The drug caused all his hands and fingers to lock up and he also experienced really painful cramps on his legs and feet."


"I have had no (huge) problems on this BC. I was worried after doing so much research and reading so many bad reviews, but decided to give it a try anyway: I am glad I did. I got it put in about 2 months ago and have had no spotting, weight gain, or loss of sex drive. I got my period right when I was supposed to a month after it was inserted and it lasted the normal 5 days: no heavy bleeding. The only thing that did happen was an initial breakout on my chin for a couple weeks and my hair seems to get oily a day after I wash it, but oh well. I have dealt with anxiety and slight depression in the past and it almost feels like Nexplanon mellowed my hormones out. No mood swings, no anger fits, no overreactions. So far so good!"


"Was put on pristiq around 8 months ago for severe anxiety/panic attacks. I couldn't even drop my kids at school without a panic attack and we live a minute from the school, I didn't wanna do anything go anywhere it was affecting my kids, my marriage, everything. Now I have my life back I put off going to the doc for a year, I wish I hadn't. I can function again. I did have to up my dose after about a month to 100mg and I still have a day here or there that I can feel my anxiety bubbling under the surface but it's nothing like it was it's manageable."


"After I take the first dose (2 pills) within 8 to 10 hours I feel 50% better.  It usually does not take more then 4 days to be well.  This is a great medication for sinusitis."


"Xanax worked wonders for my anxiety. Next thing I know, I only ate one meal every four days and lost 15 pounds in two weeks. Withdrawal is the worst. I vomited for seven weeks straight and at least twice a day. I've been clean for two months I still don't sleep until five/six in the morning. I have slight muscle tremors. Prescriptions must be monitored extremely carefully."


"I've been on this medication for a week and I know what your thinking skip this review but DON'T!!!! I've always had bad acne and while I've already seen it improve my acne (I turn 25 next month) the side effects are NOT worth it. It's made me experience suicidal ideation off and on since beginning it, it's made me paranoid about a lot of things and people, I've been so nauseous constantly that I've already lost three pounds, my appetite is so suppressed that I can't even force myself to eat three times a day. I've been having intense anger outburst which is not like me AT ALL. This is me after six days on 40mg. I love that it's clearing my face but I can not justify a medication that makes me want to kill myself. This has been a terrible!"


"This medicine along with wellbutrin has stabilized me and helped me become happy again. I've also quit taking anything for "ADD."

Compared to what I've experienced while bipolar, most difficulties I have, now seem trivial. Just keep trying every day and when you feel like giving up tell yourself you haven't even started to fight. Keep a sense of humor about things too. "


"I have taken Unisom (doxylamine) for 30 years.  I cannot sleep without it.  I am a little drowsy when I get up but after a couple of cups of coffee I am great.  I have tried every other kind of sleep aid that is made but nothing works like Unisom tablets.  Even the other Unisom (gel,etc) do not work for me."


"My blood sugar went from 280-300 to around 200, so I didn't get my desired results. Also, I had extreme thirst, constant urination, every 1 1/2 to 2 hours at night and eventually not much urine coming out. Then the constipation set in and made me so miserable that I discontinued the medication after 3 weeks to get some relief. It's been 4 days and everything is back to normal. High readings but no thirst, urination or constipation. It wasn't worth the side effects. Also, my insurance company wouldn't pay for it so it cost $400.00 for a one month supply. Then the doctor's office gave me a card that was suppose to make it only cost $25.00 a month, but I guess I'll never know."


"Lauda has been a life saver for me. I am bi polar 1 with rapid cycling. I've been on this drug for about six months and I am happy and stable. The two things I recommend though are take it at night and take it with a meal. The first few months it made me so sleepy but that eventually wore off. Good luck!"


"I was diagnosed with osteopenia in 2000 and took Fosamax for 9 years. My bone density showed slight improvement after 3 years, but still in the osteopenia range. One year later, no improvement. I am grateful to have my bone density fairly stable, but am disappointed to not have had improvement after 9 years. "


"Climara Pro Estradiol Patch has reduced my hot flashes by 99%.  The once a week patch takes a good three to four weeks to work. You will not find relief quickly, but once it kicks in, no hot flashes. This drug is very expensive, over $100 per month, but if you can afford it, I highly recommend it.  Wipe your skin with alcohol, let dry, then apply patch--sticks better."


"Four weeks on Chantix worked.  I stopped taking the drug a week ago and still don't have the desire to smoke.  I definitely experienced nausea and have had the worst sleep of my life over the last month.  I had a hard time falling asleep and an even harder time staying asleep.  Another side effect has been weight gain.  Over the course of the last 18 years I've gained 25 pounds, and 15 of that 25 has been in the last 4 weeks!  Lastly, I (and those around me) have noticed that I'm extremely irritable and aggressive.  In my first couple of days off the meds I felt depression like I never have and was even more irritable.  The weight gain still continues."


"After my 5 yr old took this for the full 10 days, she still developed an ear infection and had to be put on azithromycin."


"Really helps to stabilize the constant anxiety I've experienced before starting this medicine. I've noticed that the dose that works best for my generalized anxiety disorder is 20mg, but I've also gained 20lbs since starting this medicine despite being active. I'm curious to know what dosage of this medicine has worked for your condition and how you manage the weight gain on this pill."


"I find Xiidra very effective. My vision is briefly blurred for about 15 minutes after use, but I just plan accordingly. The biggest problem I have with Xiidra is that the delivery mechanism is difficult to use. The drops are difficult to get out, and if you shake the vial between drops, a drop comes out and is wasted. I used to use Restasis. While Xiidra is more effective for me, the Restasis vial had a far superior delivery. Perhaps the Xiidra vial opening should be slightly larger."


"My Personal Experience.
  *   Effectiveness:
It was completely fine. I felt safe using it even with unprotected sex. I never felt the need to use extra protection.

  *   Side effects and how it made me feel emotionally and physically:
I did not experience sickness or irritability. However, I did experience weight gain, increase of appetite, and hormonal acne. After a while the acne settled down once my body got use to the hormonal changes.

  *   Insurance coverage:
My insurance is United Healthcare. So after the first month that I was on, I had to switch to a generic version, Tri-Sprintec, because they wouldn't cover it.

 *  Pill size:
Small. If you don't like taking really small pills, I would suggest taking it with yogurt or pudding"


"Has been a very good drug for my asthma."


"I got Nexplanon inserted about two weeks ago. I haven't had a period, bled, or even spotted since. I have a friend that also has the implant and said that she had. I've actually lost 3 pounds since insertion but I have started working out. The only side effect I'm getting is acne. My face was fine until tonight. My skin is oily now and I'm breaking out on my forehead. My skin was always clear before this. Other than that, this is the best birth control I've had."


"This medication had a negative effect on my daughter.  It changed her mood to a negative mood.  It made her depressed, and she felt very agitated.  It was a very scary experience and would not recommend it to any one."


"Taking this to move my cycle over. My periods are typically 4 supersoaker days with some cramping -2 days.  My first month on this hellbent pill was constant cramping+nausea, 25 days of bleeding, and horrid mood swings, dark thoughts, deja vu and dizzy spells. Doc had me double up for the rest of this packet, now the bleeding is just sparse spots. BF is relieved to finally have sex, though it's painful because now I have low estrogen. Begged the doc to switch me to a different pill brand."


"Just took 1000mg at once (as directed) and felt very very sick for a half hour or so. Hopefully it gets better soon. If it fixes the issue, it's well worth it though. Good luck!"


"This is day one for me and its working fine. Still get some symptoms but not much. I have been through withdrawal two times before and this is the easiest so far. Now this is just day one. "


Chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone / pseudoephedrine

"Best fast acting cough/congestion med I have ever used.  Minimal side effects that get better after a day. I could feel relief within an hour that lasted beyond its 6 hr dosing. If I'd had this medicine first would've not developed bronchitis from a sinus infection. Will ask for it again!"


"My Doctor diagnosed me with dermatographia, and prescribed Singulair and Alavert.  The condition lessened, but did not go away.  I would still break out into hives on a daily basis, though they were not as frequent and covered a smaller portion of my body.  After a few months, she prescribed Vistaril in place of Alavert, and kept me on the Singulair.  Almost immediately, I noticed a significant change!  For the first time in months, I went an entire day without any hives - though I had to take the capsule four times a day.  If I took fewer capsules, my hives would come back.  I did experience severe drowsiness and a slight "euphoric" feeling, but it lessened over time."


"I was on this birth control for over a year. It worked great for me. No pregnancy, regulated my period and clear up my acne. Only down side I gain 15 pounds even after eating healthy and exercising 5 times a week. I got off it  6 months ago to see if the weight gain was because of the pill and sure enough it was. I've lost all the weight I've gained, but it took some times and effort. It's a great product, just don't like the weight gain."


"I have been on Ortho Evra for 3 years now, previously I was on the pill. I gained an additional 5 or so lbs when I switched over, but I think it's way worth it. My period is now regular and my usual heavy flow significantly decreased. Recently my pharmacy has started giving me the generic, don't do it. I have spotting all the time, pretty heavy. It's like having a regular period in between periods. For the first time last week the spotting was really heavy, I'm switching back to brand name. Other than that, no mood swings, no decrease in sex drive, no nausea/headaches/breast pain/etc. Great birth control!"


"I've tried multiple birth control pills and I thought I found my saving grace when I first started taking this pill. My skin was clearer and my boobs grew which was a bonus. While taking this pill my sex drive has been almost non-existent. The problem for me has been Placebo week. The change in hormones throughout the month than dropping off to have my period has given me crazy mood swings. I don't think I've ever felt so depressed, hopeless, unhappy with life and with things that made me previously happy. Usually if I am PMSing it lasts for a day or two but with this BC it's consistently there. My mental health is not worth side effects of this pill. If you struggle with mood swings especially while on birth control pills I would NOT recommend"


"Venlafaxine extended release in combination with low dose tramadol in the mornings has been extremely effective in controlling my symptoms. I'm glad to have found something that works! I get so much more work done each day, it's like a transformation."


"I had been taking Junel Fe for three months until I was switched to Microgestion 1/20 without notice. The first week was fine, my sex drive was normal and did not feel depressed. However, once I started the second week I felt extremely depressed and not motivated at all. My breast size has increased which I am not happy about. I haven't noticed much weight gain but the depression is enough to make me call my gyno and switch back to Junel."


"This did not work for me at all...  I used it whenever I wanted a cigarette, so I didn't ever get rid if the nicotine addiction.  Complete waste of time and money."


"Cozaar keeps my severe hypertension in check.  I take it at night.  I'm also a diabetic and a nurse."


"Taking for pain in my right shoulder."


"Hello, in 2015 I was suffering from moderate acne. My face was full of acne & marks. I was going through depression & the result was clearly showing up on my face. Later as I came out of depression in March 2016 but my face was still showing some moderate acne. Which used to worsen sometimes. Later in August I visited dermatologist. He prescribed me doxycycline for 2 months. He even added that I should not take it for a long period of time & within 2 weeks I could see results. It worked  wonderfully. My face was totally cleared up. I still suffer from mild acne but I go back to doxy dosage. Which is if I'm taking it now for 15 days then I won't take it for next 1 or 1.5 month. Just to avoid resistance. But I must say doxy is saviour."


"55 male 6' 265.  Doing colonoscopy prep. Only clear liquids today. Had a small soft stool twice in the afternoon. Took 2 Dulcolax at 4 pm. Drank 64 oz Gatorade with generic Miralax (the whole bottle of powder). Movements began in earnest about 6-630. Its 720 now and I think the worst of it is over. Basically camped in the bathroom in a chair because it seemed I wouldn't make it. Wearing nothing but a winter gown in the summer because I got cold, and I'm almost never cold.
I'm supposed to take two more later, but I think that's it for me. Don't know what else could come out. I don't even want to drink any more liquid, but I'm diabetic and take two meds that make me pee more.
So happy I have a kitchen sprayer hooked up to my toilet to wash."


"my  experience has been nothing but amazing. iIhave tried for yrs to lose the lbs. I have lost 105lb in little over 6 mos. Yes I have really worked had on the stationary bike at the gym to but this medicine has really changed my life. I was headed to a early death and now I have a 2nd chance. it feels amazing. side effects .... I guess I was one of the lucky ones I really never felt anything bad from the meds."


"Its the only thing that helps at all. Covered under workers compensation. "


"I have been on clomipramine for 33 years. I have had OCD since I was 5 years old and finally went to a psychiatrist when it became too debilitating to even leave the house when I was 34 years old. It was the first medication that the psychiatrist tried on me period within two months my OCD, intrusive thoughts and panic attacks were 99% gone and they continue to be. Side effects were pretty bad for the first couple of months and the loss of sexual interest lasted a year but then it came back and felt normal again. I do not know why this drug is so expensive since it is a generic. I know it is an older drug and not widely prescribed anymore but without insurance it is $800 a month. With my insurance I pay $75 a month."


"Xanax made me a normal person again. I had bouts of anxiety seemingly my entire life, but it didn't become debilitating until I reached my 20s and became overwhelmed with everything on my plate and I lost sight of who I was. I couldn't focus on anything because I was too worried about school and work and my health issues. It became too much, and I dropped out of school with a 4.0! Anxiety stole my life away, but Xanax gave me the strength to gain it back. I'm finally about to graduate, have a wonderful job, and just recently got engaged! I am a normal person, and I thank anxiety for calming my brain and enabling me to live a beautiful, productive life. I highly recommend it if you genuinely suffer from debilitating anxiety."


"Been taking 0.375 (supposed to be twice) already I changed to one a day 0.375. Guts are happy as a clam, first time in 30 years. I have been getting worse with time, had to be very careful what I ate. No onions, peppers, wheat, tomatoes, etc. Last night had 2 large scoops of spaghetti sauce on my rice noddles, guts were fine, even slept for 7 hours. Very dramatic improvement for me. It does seem to make me retain a little more water which increases blood pressure, easy to deal with."


"This is a preliminary review since I have only had the Nexplanon since 4/20/15. Getting it inserted , was not bad. I had taken 800 mg of Ibuprofen a little while before when they attempted to insert the Skyla, so that & the numbing agent they used on the area did not hurt when inserted under my skin on my inner arm. No real pain at the injection site except for a couple of days but w/ motrin, I was fine. Since having it in, I have had extreme heart racing (aka palpitations) to the point where it feels like my heart is going to pound out of my chest with any small amount of stress or frustration. I also have stomach cramps a couple of days out of the week."


"It works every time I use it but I feel that my migraines are much more frequent since taking first Imitrex and then the generic."


"I love this product because it works amazingly well to clear up my acne. I do still get pimples but they're rarely bad and for the most part I don't get huge breakouts anymore.

The only drawback for me is the smell. I was told to leave it on overnight, and I have to disagree with a previous commenter that this product does not smell. As with any other sulfur product, it smells like sulfur. The longer you use it for the worse it gets. I have to throw out my sheets and sleep shirts every 6 months because they stink, and I can't ever wash them with anything I wear in public. I also have to be good about exfoliating, or the smell starts to stick to me too.

I do think this product is worth it if sulfur is your only option, but be prepared!"


"DON'T DO IT! I am 24, have a high pain tolerance, never have had any issue with my birth control, have never been pregnant, am healthy and active! The Skyla insertion was the worst pain I've ever had. I started balling crying. Once it was complete, I nearly passed out walking to my car. I was in severe pain all day and had to leave work. I figured all the pain would subside. I went home, used a heating pad, ate, took some pain killers but nothing helped. I had consistent spotting and cramping. I would usually work out every day... but I was in too much pain to do so. I waited about 10 days to have sex, only to bleed profusely and be in immense pain. I tried to wait it out, kept it in for about a month and eventually had to get it remove"


"I've been taking Contrave for just over 2 weeks and have had no side effects, other than not being hungry.  I have much more energy and have been exercising and keeping a food log.  I've lost 10 lbs so far, so I'm pretty pumped!"


"It does work wonders but I kinda wish it could last for more hours."


"I started on Micardis 4 months ago, the first month it didn't seem to help, the second month it controlled my high blood pressure perfectly, then the third month I started getting horrible side effects. My left arm would go numb and tingly, I had horrible headaches, insomnia, diarrhea and chest pains. I was exhausted all the time yet I couldn't sleep, had terrible nightmares. The pills work great for controlling my blood pressure but the side effects are awful!"


"I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 6 years ago. I had/have mild symptoms. I began taking Avonex immediately and have had no significant change in symptoms. I take 1 Aleve an hour before my injection. I chose the last night of my work week so I can't dread "the day."  I rotate my injection-left thigh, left hip, right hip, right thigh. I think this will help avoid irritation, though I've never had a problem anyway. My husband gives me my shot so I don't have to look at the needle. I also cough because someone told me you can't tense other muscles during a cough. I relax, and he injects the needle on my second cough. Many times I don't feel a thing. When I do it's minimal. Hip shots are the easiest. I always make sure the Avonex is at room temperature."


"I did not sleep at all in fact I stayed up longer. "


"I personally think celexa worked very well for me. I got on it due to a lot of anxiety in college and I started to have panic attacks but then realized it helped with some depression as well. I was very foggy for the first 2 weeks and didn't feel like myself but stuck it out and it worked great for 3 months! I just got bumped up to 20mg because it seems to be wearing off but so far so great! stick with it."


"I only been taking this drug for two months.  When I had my period it was worst than before. Didn't get my period the second month. My major issue is my rage/mood swings. I am not the type of person to be angry on the daily. Also I started with no ance. I would get a pimple here and there. The second month I started to see a few. It does take more than a couples of months to help the acne. I started to take this drug to not get pregnant and for my acne."


"I am so scared right now I am supposed to start this treatment tonight. I feel way too anxious to do so."
