"I've been using adapalene gel for approximately one week and I am absolutely miserable. Although I am already seeing any active acne clearing up very successfully, my skin is peeling to an extent that I would deem as overkill. It is at the point that I don't want to leave my house because of how bad the peeling is. Not only this, but my skin is in a constant state of pain and sensitivity. In order to try and decrease the side effects of this medication, I took to the adapalene gel website to look for tips. They suggested that I used an oil free moisturizer to attempt to calm the burning sensation already present in my skin. Upon doing so, it was as if my skin was doused in gasoline and set ablaze with a blow torch. Be prepared for the pain."


"Was prescribed this pill for acne and used for over 2 months. Had minimal breakouts. The first month was perfect but by the second month I became extremely depressed and had terrible anxiety, to the point where I could no longer leave my house. Would not recommend for this reason."


"I'm 37 and just recently started getting YI , I bought the 7 day pack and used it tonight for the first time and OMG ! The itching is intense .... I've read tons of reviews and they've all said that after a hour or so it dies down ... ( fingers crossed ) I'm definitely going to stick with it . Hopefully"


"I have been on Xanax (Alprazolam) for over 10 years for severe panic attacks and perpetual anxiety from PTSD and horrible things going on in my life. I've found this to be very effective to rapidly nip this in the bud, for a short period of time. I do not abuse this and am a non drinker. Life is so out of control for me that this is the only thing that works to any degree."


"My experience with Qysmia has been okay.  Thankfully, no side effects except sometimes tingling in my hands and feet.  I started at 225 in November 2014 and now six months later, I am 204.  I thought I would have lost a lot more faster like everyone else but I haven't.  My appetite is definitely less than it used to be but I do still treat myself to chocolate.  Gave up potato chips and french fries!!  Although, I'm not exercising as much as I should.  My BMI went from 38 to 35.  I think it's good to take it off slowly anyway.  3/4 lb. to 1 lb. a week is fine for me.  My goal is 140.  It may take me over a year to get there, but slow and steady wins the race!!"


"After two weeks I couldn't take it. My nerves felt so thin every little normal everyday snafu became an emotional overload. I was angry in a flash at at work, and also on the road while driving, making me realize how unsafe and untenable my life had seemed to become. I would also randomly feel like crying at work which only created extra stress to try to keep calm. After a couple different sick days where I tried to relax and integrate the medicine, I realized with intuition it just wasn't all in my head. So I stopped and felt more normal soon after. I was also bloated and nauseous while taking it.  My advice is try it if you want but if you start having emotional problems don't wait around trying to adjust or assume it's all in your head."


"I am so thankful for Gleevec!  I did have some side-effects but prior to Gleevec, taking interferon and hydroxyurea led to much more severe side effects.  I had aching limbs, and I now have a skin reddening/rash--like rosacea on my cheeks and my upper arms are reddish--like a mild sunburn.  I have tummy issues now--gurgling, diarrhea, cramping, etc., but they are easily managed with imodium.  Gleevec has extended my survival and I had the honor of meeting Dr Druker who developed the drug, at Oregon Health and Science University.  He was absolutely wonderful as was the care I received there."


"I am nearly at a year with Nexplanon. I have been bleeding nearly every single day for this entire year. I wanted to commit to the birth control, and I hoped that my cycle would become regular; instead, the rare week that I am not bleeding I have incredibly painful cramps.
Not sure if this is related, but my chin has developed unprecedented acne(from what I understand, the chin is the hormonal part of the face that breaks out).
Truly the bleeding makes it not worth it. I have destroyed every cute pair of knickers I own. It's been a year of CONSTANT light, but irritating bleeding.
Not pregnant though, so cheers to that."


"Found this medicine very helpful. I have had a lot of trouble finding the right biologic, and have tried half a dozen. Great medicine!"


"I've tried everything for my allergies since they get so bad from where I live. A friend of mine gave me Drixoral to try and it did magic. Not one sign of allergies the next day! It does make me drowsy so I take it at night and wake up with no symptoms. Sometimes even during the day I'll still be drowsy so I tried to cut the pill in half so it wouldn't be too strong for me but that was impossible."


"Was born with a skin condition initially diagnosed as PRP but a 2nd biopsy years later (at age 60) said it was psoriasis. 95% coverage and when untreated very bad including cracking bleeding and skin cancers. Dr's tried everything. Was placed on a new drug, Acitretin, when in my 20's. Later it was branded as Soriatain and the cost increased and kept increasing each year. Dosage was 25mg daily. No real side affects except I couldn't drink alcohol (it neutralizes the drug). I also use Medco's Aquaphilic Ointment and Alpha Keri bath oil. Worked great although never cleared completely. Insurance cap too high so had to go off it. Note for new users: Flares for a few weeks before taking full affect, (works from inside out). Give it time."


"I've been on methotrexate for 4 months now. The Rheumatoid arthritis came out of no where. I went to my primary care physician with me feet and my thumbs he basically said I was getting older to take aleve and get comfortable shoes. Well I  month later I could barely walk so primary care physician did blood work. My RA factor was 1382. It took me another month to get an appointment with a rheumatologist. The rheumatologist is going to fail me on methotrexate on the 28 if this month because my levels are not coming down as expected. I am currently on 17.5mg of methotrexate. I take them on Friday night and Saturdays I am exhausted. I constantly have pain in my hands,wrists,ankles,knees and feet. I am just afraid the next med won't work either"


"I took a plan b last week and plan b is known for throwing your ph balance off so I caught a yeast infection . My vagina felt very raw and I kept a cold towel down there to numb the pain . I took Monistat 1 because that's what the CVS pharmist perscribed . This YI was so unbearable and what made it worst is I'm on my period . I inserted the egg and put the cream everywhere . I barely want to walk ,talk , eat or do anything . My vagina is so sad right now it burns it itches .. I just need relief of this uncomfortable pain"


"I had an infection deep in upper gum, 2 cycles of amoxi, lost potency so started clindamycin 300mg now I'm off to the E.R. So it's not just the clindamycin that caused this but I cannot stress enough make sure you are taking probiotics when taking antibiotics! "


"Made me feel jumpy and made me feel worse"


"It's a great long acting pain reliever, despite all the bad news this is some good news."


"I take 10mg and my LDL cholesterol is still 147 but I don't have muscle pain in the arms like with other Statins."


"My wife has a very aggressive cancer that started in the uterus (removed a 2.5 lb tumor last June) which had metastasized to the lung and elsewhere. She was stage 4 at diagnosis. Two chemo drugs did not work. After a bad spell at Christmas (including kidney failure) they were talking about hospice but also wanted to try votrient. The votrient resulted in visible tumor shrinkage within 24 hours. We have continued with the votrient and after six weeks the lung tumors shrank by 20 and 30 per cent.

The doctor tells us we may get one more good scan and then it may stop working. But the reprieve has been sweet and things are going in the right direction.

She takes 3 pills (600mg) not 4. About the fatigue: she gets some low dose Ritalin."


"Terrible diarrhea. Very bad stomach pains."


"I've had the skyla in for about 2 weeks now. The only pain while inserting the skyla was the clamp, other than that I didn't feel anything. I also have a child so that might be why. I highly recommend this type of birth control to anyone. Nothing has changed besides my period was a little late and it's very light and mucus like."


"I've been on Levemir for approximately 2 years and have found it be quite effective.  However, I've also noticed that over time the dosage has had to steadily increase in order to achieve optimum blood glucose levels."


"I got my IUD earlier this week. I would say that the insertion wasn't so much painful as it was uncomfortable and anxiety inducing. It's weird to have someone poking around up there with metal instruments. The more you relax, the easier it is. I took valerian and motrin before my appointment.

Immediately after the appointment I felt sick in the way I feel after a blood draw. My blood pressure was low, my anxiety was kind of high, and my body was not happy about the foreign object. I was crampy and sweaty and nauseous. I went home and put on comfy pants and put a hot water bottle on my belly. I was crampy for about five hours. I've been fine the rest of the week!"


"Amazing - only thing that works for me- allows me to be at work functioning on medication - all my other meds made me dopey or stupid (stupimax:topamax)"


"25 year old female. I Love IT. I take 150 SR ONCE a day.  I did TONS of research that completely contradicted the information that ONLY "300MG" and higher MG's treat depression. Dr's all over the country disagree, so if your having negative side effects from high dose than simply try a lower dose. If your body responds well to higher MG then stay on it.  Another thing, I have read countless reviews that the first week or so is always the hardest, press through it (unless you are suicidal of course). I experienced BAD symptoms my 1st two weeks and then poof they subsided and I feel GREAT! Energy, positivity, increased libido, mental focus, NO weight gain and NO increased blood pressure. 150mg SR ONCE a day ROCKS."


"This medicine is wonderful to help you lose weight! When I started it I lost 10 pounds in less than 2 weeks! My husband lost a total of 60 pounds in about 8 months. We both have since stopped the pills (once we reached our goal weight) and the weight piles right back on once you stop the pills. I am actually 15 pounds HEAVIER than when I began them & my husband has gained all his weight back & then some. If you never plan to get off the pills then they work. If you totally do a lifestyle change and start dieting then they will work. BUT, after 3 days off of them I was hungrier than ever and had to fight the urges to eat. The urges won obviously."


"I have never had a problem with going to sleep at night, but I bought some Sominex at the airport the other day in order to help me sleep in a 9 hour flight, and now for the past few days I have had severe insomnia. Nothing else my routine has changed, but now I am up all through the night, tired all day, and still can't sleep at night. I regret making the mistake of using this product."


"After 3 days of starting this new birth control, I was feeling nauseous. This lasted for a few days. Also, I've been bleeding for almost 3 weeks now. It's not heavy, but its tiresome and getting costly to keep buying panty liners all the time."


"I have gotten cold sores/fever blisters since I was a young boy. I too have tried it all. I find that taking a small amount of Lysine and eating a Lysine rich diet, low in arginine help to prevent them, but they inevitably come around. I just had a cold sore and it was a tricky one. Sometimes they don't start tingling until it has already swollen. Once I realized it was one, I had waited a full day too late, but I was still very impressed. Thirty minutes after taking one, the tingling stopped. The next morning it was half the size. I had two that day and by the third day it was gone. I have every hope that if I take it within an hour next time, it will stop it cold. Awesome."


"This fexofenadine really works for my urticaria. I got a strong and painful urticaria god knows from where. After a week  this product is helping a lot . Not side effects whatsoever."


"I have been on Suboxone for 4 months. I was just switched to Zubsolv because the taste of the Suboxone made me nauseated. So I was switched I've been using this product for 3 days now. I think it works wonderful. I have no side effects that I've noticed. I love the taste so no more nausea."


"Enulose has been very efficient in making regular bowel movements. "


"I was on Coumadin from 2008-2013. I am now 28 years old. Imagine how I react when I go to a Dr, get told about Xarelto, that I do NOT need to see my doctor weekly-biweekly, and I CAN EAT GREENS! It was a miracle for me. Yes, the bleeding risk is still there. But a once daily pill for my chronic recurrent deep vein thrombosis verses modifying multiple times my Coumadin based on fluctuating INR levels is a God send. My PCP was about to put me on the similar Xa-inhibitor medication but this came out. Off to enjoy sauteed spinach!"


"Used Fleet 5 minutes later all came out."


"I have been an alcoholic for 25 years.  Drinking between 5 - 7 pints of cider and up to two bottles of wine per night!  I went to the Priory twice, the second occasion I went in they put me on Antabuse (when I went in to the Priory my Gamma GT was 50 and just before I came out my Gamma GT was 1600) Unfortunately I was one in 28,000 people to have a severe side affect from this tablet.  I was desperate to try something else and was eventually prescribed Campral.  I have been on this medication for almost two months and have no cravings for alcohol.  I surprised myself walking past pubs and going out for dinner without that strong need for a bottle of wine or two!!"


"Did this make any one else more emotional? Since I've been on these I've been non stop been thinking about my first love. We stopped talking 7 years ago now all I do is get upset and think about her non stop."


"Living with a brain tumor and suffering for years with blinding migraines IT IS THE SINGLE ONLY THING THAT RIDS MY MIGRAINES! I ONLY relay on it when the pain is so intense I am bedridden. I use about 80 pills per year. It usually always works if Exederin does not. No nausea or vomiting like with other expensive migraine so called wonder medicines! No bad drowsiness either!  It is a God send for my pain! I have found nothing else comparable."


"I've recently been on the pill for 10 months. Great pill, no mood swings, no weight gain. Except Sex is a no go, not in the mood. Vaginal dryness ... recommend KY. "


"I have had my thyroid removed one year ago. Medication causes blurred vision. Some weight gain nothing significant that can't be worked off with exercise. But, even though I have this problem, it's better than previous symptoms, heart palpitations, sweating, losing 20lbs in less than a month without trying."


"I started mirtazapine a little over a month ago.  I played with the dose at anywhere from 7.5 to 15 mg and settled on 3/4 of the 15 mg or about 11 mg as my sweet spot for getting anywhere from 7 to 8.5 hours a sleep a night.  I have not gained weight on it and have had no side effects except for feeling a little groggy the first half hour after waking.  I was able to successfully taper off Lunesta, which I had been taking for about six months after a bout with severe insomnia,  with the Mirtazapine, and I prefer the more natural Mirtazapine sleep over the Lunesta.  It also works every night without fail.  Great drug for insomnia!"


"Have taken 5  Vesicare and I can only say I have become housebound.  The side effectts have been horendous.  Visual disturbances,  dizzy, blinding head pains, totally confused.  I live alone and need to go to the shops but can't drive in this state.  CN anyone tell me now long these side effects will last.  Was going to try to give it a week but dont know if I can last that long .Help."


"This drug has been life changing for me and  I've been on it for about 3 years now. As soon as I stop taking it my symptoms come back full force. My only complaint is that I did break out in hives when I first started taking it but this eventually stopped."


"I have been on all different kinds of medicines to treat HIV. I have lived with this virus for 20 years. I have been on Atripla for about 3 or 4 years. The virus has been non-detectable for 2 years. Atripla in my opinion helped save my life."


"I've had skyla for 7 months, and the night before I made the mistake of reading the reviews of how painful the insertion. On a scale from 1-10 it was maybe a 2. The procedure was quick, and painless. Afterward I had no cramping, or bleeding. So, far I have had no negative side effects, and I am very happy with my decision of getting Skyla inserted."


"Only been on Viibryd for 7 days.  Starting 20 mg in morning.  Was in a car wreck and was having a moody time.  Everything seems good.  Lots of bloating and gas.  Hope this goes away."


"So far so good.  I have been using Dymista for 2 weeks & I can breathe out of both nostrils & I have a sense of smell again!  I used Nasonex for years & it worked well, but I seemed to build up a tolerance after awhile.  For the last couple of years I have been hooked on OTC nasal spray with horrible rebound congestion which required antibiotics & prednisone to kick. After this last round of antibiotics & prednisone & a change to Dymista. I can now breathe! I hope it continues.  I was even able to find a discount coupon online so I got it for $30."


"Cleared up my stuffy nose within hours. Highly recommend."


"I have very bad post traumatic stress disorder with severe anxiety. As for a back story for the medicines I've tried: all SSRIs, two MAOIs, and one tricyclic antidepressants to try to calm the anxiety and bad dreams, all did nothing but either make me a zombie or made me suicidal with severe panic attacks.  Now on to benzodiazepines:  Xanax, Kolonopin, and Valium, the first and last were not strong enough for me and being a 5'6" and 110lb woman, I could not get an increase in dosage because I was too small for that.  I was also on Buspar which did nothing but make me have fits of rage and very severe panic attacks.
Now what I'm on: Ativan 2mg 3x a day and gabapentin 300mg 3x a day
How I feel:  my anxiety is nearly gone. I can only hope that it stays this way."


"Chantix is a miracle drug. On my quit day after eight hours I realized that I had not smoked the whole entire day. It is a miracle drug. Thank you"


"I been on this ADHD medication, but never was on it for more then 3 months. I am always switched due to the weight lose. When I first took it I was about 135lbs, after 2 months I was 98lbs. I lost over 35 pounds. This was in 2010. I stopped taking it because it wasn't helping me. Within those months my doctor kept putting me on different medicines, none worked. I started school with no medicines, I was on the high honor all, my mom wanted me to take it because I couldn't focus I was so HYPER. So my doctor put me on Concerta again. I have been on and off, but I have been consistent for 1-2 weeks. I have noticed my face is very itchy and blotchy and I want to hide and cry. Well I'm getting good grades but lost 10lbs in a week. "


"I have moderate lower back pain and my doctor suggested I take Lorzone in case I have muscle spasm. Well I took the Lorzone 750mg and I had no side effects whatsoever (which is good) yet the pain is still there. I have an appointment for MRI soon. Hope I find out what is causing my pain."


Dextromethorphan / guaifenesin / pseudoephedrine

"Works very well and fast. My son is 8 years old.  He had a constant cough and running nose.  This took care of it in two days."


"hmm .. definitely not getting pregnant if you are biting people's heads off when they ask you simple questions

nexplanon caused unusual side effects

loved it at first but then developed feminine dryness and even pain during vaginal insertion

i have been on nexplanon for just under a year

it releases on its own

it's not a "smart" drug that aligns with your body"


"I do not recommend Tamiflu whatsoever. The first night it gave me diarrhea. I will admit my flu symptoms improved the next day. However the second night I experienced extreme soreness in my right arm and shoulder that made it difficult to sleep. The third morning I took my first pill of the day, less than an hour later my face, chest, and stomach were covered with hives. I also had slight dizziness. I immediately stopped taking it. I am a healthy young adult and a medication has never done this to me. Wish I would have just let the flu run it’s course."


"I have been on citalopram for 6 weeks, when I started had very few side effects, feeling a lot better, can control my thoughts. started on 10 mg for 2 weeks , and on 20 mg . It seems like it was the one for me , all the other antidepressants gave me bad side effects. This one is working well so far . gets better as the weeks go by ."


"This is my second time trying this medication. The first time I was not ready and didn't really make any lifestyle changes and didn't lose weight. So my Dr recommend it again and even said that he was going to take it too. That had me motivated and needless to say when I went back for my month follow up, he walked right past me because he said he almost didn't recognize me. I have been on this medication for about 6 months and I'm down 37lbs! Largest weight loss in my life!! I started at 264lb. I don't exercise but I have been practicing clean eating. Only eating salmon and no other meat, and eating veggies and fruit. It's been working.... and my Dr is also down some lbs!!!"


"I got this implanted because I was put on accutane and I've had no bad side effects at all, the only thing was a couple days after I got it implanted I got my period which lasted for 21 days and haven't gotten it since which is always good for me considering I always get really bad cramps when I'm on it."


"Although I'm paying a kings ransom for this thanks to my garbage insurance, this immediately improved my asthma. I'm not sure why so many people seem to have a problem with it but I'm having great success. I'm actually sleeping now, and I'm not rasping all the time. I'm not even kidding it made a difference after the first dose. To be fair I was also enjoying good results with advair, but this seems more effective."


"Took this pill 2 times the past 2 months and each time turned out fine. First one was unprotected sex with my bf, he pulled out but we were just really paranoid so we went and bought the pill one hour later. Two weeks later my period came one day late. Second time was unprotected sex with him but when he pulled out there was a lot of pre cum (he had also ejaculated earlier that day so we were worried there was sperm in it) so we went and bought the pill the next day. I was so worried I was pregnant!! My period didn't come on the day it was supposed to, but I kept having lots of symptoms of it. Finally it came and it was 4 days late!!!! We learned our lesson and will always use condoms every single time from now on!!"


"I've been on Prozac and Buspar for 3 months. I was terrified to start, awful spaced out feeling, not high just foggy minded. Now I feel great, have my moments but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel."


"Diagnosed with arthritis with AWFUL migraines, I began (reluctantly) taking methadone, which I MISTAKENLY believed to be a medication solely reserved for heroin addicts. Tired of the stomach damage of aspirin-like pain aids, I tried it. The results were nothing short of miraculous. No side effects! I implore those who want to try this medicine, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, TAKE ONLY AS DIRECTED! It can be dangerous otherwise. IF TAKEN PROPERLY, THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE WILL IMPROVE DRAMATICALLY BUT YOU MUST BE RESPONSIBLE AND ADHERE TO THE INSTRUCTIONS."


"Took 6 months to bring my count down from 149,000"


"I took lyrica for long standing neuropathic pain. I took it before bed and woke up the next day completely in a haze, dizzy , uncoordinated and could not function. It made my symptoms worse. The dose was 150 mg.

I am just sharing my experience. Unfortunately it is not helpful for me."


"I take this on occasion after a rough day (I also deal with mild scoliosis, carpal tunnel, Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis). I had sprained my back recently and was prescribed this medication. I have bad days and then really bad days, but I do not like to take medication unless there is no other sane choice. I took one pill last night about 7pm to ease my pain/stiffness due to a "really bad day"-I am still going in and out of tiredness and it is 10am the next day. I feel tired, groggy-can't concentrate. I do not like this feeling staying with me throughout my work day-it feels like a "time release" and comes on in waves-ONE pill 15 hours ago. I work full time and really need to be on my "game" and...I have to drive to get here! :("


"Great medication helps with bi-polar. If I had anything bad to say it would be that it makes you gain weight like crazy. However other then that I sleep better then I have in twenty some years. "


"I've had a few times were I've had a back up of stool, I have a simple recommendation for whoever doesn't want to have the taste of the citrate become overwhelming. Grab a grape mag. citrate bottle as well as a grape Gatorade drink about half of the Gatorade before drinking the citrate then drink the entire bottle after that drink the rest of the Gatorade. This'll taste a lot better than the cherry or lime one, if anything it doesn't feel like you're even drinking a bottle of the stuff. Make sure to take before 5-6PM if you want it to work properly because when you take it too late you'll have to stay awake in order for it to work. I drank a bottle one time in the night, fell asleep and it didn't work too well, and no I didn't poop myself."


"I have been on Stelara for almost 3 months. Had the 3rd shot even 1 month earlier than planned. I have psoriasis on my fingers and nails. I think this drug is just overrated. Nothing really happened. Plus the P is coming back on my elbows again after a long recession. I am supposed to take the last 3 shots but I don't think there will be any improvement."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I took this medication as directed as preparation for a colonoscopy.  It did not work."


"I took Vesicare l hr before dinner.   About 1am, woke up with severe abdominal pain.   Thought I would have to go to the Emergency room.   Then I started with diarrhea and the pain subsided.  "


"Best treatment for acne I have used! I've gone through accutane, many face washes, retinol creams, and other forms of birth control. Some other forms of birth control just make acne worse, depending on the type of progestin in it. You need the least androgenic type possible, and sprintec has worked the best for me! Nearly clear skin. Takes about 5-6 months to fully work, but it does work."


"After two years of absolute torture with Eligard and severally diminishing quality of life , I was ready to die but a new doc used Trelstar and now I believe I will go the distance."


"Updated Review: I had Liletta inserted at the end of March and had high hopes for it, as this was my first time using birth control and it seemed like a wonderful idea. The insertion was painful and I did have light cramping for the next three days or so but nothing I couldn't handle. However, two weeks after insertion, I started noticing extreme bloating, followed by excruciating stomach pains, back pain and strong stabbing pains under my ribs. These symptoms landed me in the ER three times, while various blood tests and a sonogram were conducted with no abnormal results found.I had the IUD removed a month later and my body has gradually reverted back to normal.I would not recommend this device due to the extreme side effects I experienced"


"When I was on Celexa years ago it worked wonderfully for me, night and day. I came off and tried natural treatments for a year and a half with no success so I went back on Celexa (again at 40 mg a day as I was on before.)
It definitely helps me a lot but it isn't as helpful as before when I took it. I've added abilify 2 months ago (5mg) but it still isn't quite enough. I feel like my functionality is at about 60-70% now (compared to ~10% without Celexa) --My GP has referred me to a psychiatrist and I hope I can find something or a combo of things to help me get to 100% again soon. I don't have any bad side effects from Celexa and it helps me with anxiety within 24 hours and depression within 2 weeks of starting."


"I've had many bladder infections over the years, to varying degrees-- and Amoxicillin has always worked for me, personally, when it comes to the worst of them.  But everyone is different, so if it doesn't help your infection go away, switch to another antibiotic, but be warned that the current push is to prescribe a powerful class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolone, that have a rare, but potentially permanent side effect of nerve damage (and warning states that the effect can happen AFTER you've taken the medication).  So, given the choice of antibiotics, I'd take Amoxicillin first.  Yes, there are side effects, but minor and temporary.  Just take probiotics, eat well, hydrate."


"All my life I have struggled to gain or maintain my weight.  There are periods when I have no appetite.  Can go for days and not eat and not get hungry.  This medication has been a God send.  At first the drowsiness was almost debilitating.  After reaching my desired weight, I found that dropping the dose to 1/4 tablet per day kept it on but without the side effects.  My son suffers from the same thing and he is now on it too.  I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to gain weight."


"I have been using the patch for 3 1/2 years now and so far its great. I don't have to worry about an everyday pill. I totally recommend it, specially for women who attend to everyday needs. It is very easy to wear and plus you get to change it every week. It sticks well too (when my husband first saw it he thought it was a band aid). I've recommended it to all my friends. I love it I don't think I'll ever change it for another birth control."


"We had tried the patch when our son was 5 1/2 yrs old.  We have tried many stimulant medications which do not last the amount of time it states it should so we tried Daytrana.  This was not for us.  My son was out of control, increased aggression, impulsivity, and couldn't sit still to save his life.  My son does deal with other mental Health disorders such as SPD, ODD, ADHD, GAD, and a mood disorder.  We are currently on Focalin XR 15mg in the morning and 10Mg XR about 12pm.  Focalin has been the best we found but still I think causes his other diagnosis to shine through a bit more."


"I had started with Prozac (20mg) about 4 months ago but it wasn't steadily effective and I felt worse the week before my period... it would also make me tired during the day. The doctor switched me to Cymbalta while weaning me off Prozac as such:
- week 1: take 20mg capsule of Prozac with 30mg capsule of Cymbalta a day
- week 2: take 30mg capsule of Cymbalta a day
- week 3: take 60mg capsule of Cymbalta capsule a day going forth

I felt great with Cymbalta just on my first week: more energy, felt kind of high like on E but in a good way...just happy. I experienced a few days of insomnia my first week which which I battled with Melatonin an hour before bed (10mg). I experienced headaches for a few days but that also went away. Feel great!!"


"I was initially prescribed Klonopin (Clonazepam) for generalized anxiety disorder. It works very well, not Quite as Quick as Xanax, However It is well worth the wait. I also have panic disorder. It prevents them from happening in the first place. I developed a tolerance to the sedative effect after A month or two. 2 years strong. I take 1-8mgs a day. Use it sparingly. It has a long half life and stays in your body longer than alprazalam. I feel like Xanax lasts a few hours then rebounds. "


"Took Synthroid for six months then switched to Eltroxin (generic version). Didn't notice any difference between the two. Once I was on the right dose my TSH levels returned to normal."


"so Lamictal takes a while to work...in my case it was about 6 months to reach is maximum effect.I am on 200 mg. if I go higher it is a total nightmare. be careful it depends on the person how much you can take. if you feel you are going more depressed go to the dose you were before and take clonazepan as needed but not everyday. lamictal affected my sleep I had to take ambien but after 6 months I started taking melatonin and it worked. I wanted to say that it is important is family support and when that is non existent then in my case, i grabbed a Bible and prayed a lot even until today. psalm 91 and Ephesians 6:10, also Psalm 23. it gets in a point when you have to fight your brain. doctors and medication helps until certain point."


"I was prescribed this medication while I was stationed in Korea.  Halloween 2015 I was going on a 3 hours bus ride to a party on a boat.  I didn't think about the fact that I'd be drinking in 4 hours and I just thought "Oh, I'm going on a bus, I better take my pain meds because my back always hurts on buses."  Needless to say I remember getting on the boat and the next thing I know I'm waking up in a Hotel room the next morning.  It was my first and last blackout I've ever experienced.  I don't know how much I had to drink but my friends said I was really out of it throughout the night and got a bit crazy.  Definitely do not mix this drug with alcohol because I was lucky and only blacked out, it totally could of killed me."


"It was perfect for me. Got my period down to 3 light days without pain. Cleared my skin. Decreased my appetite and anxiety. I even lost weight the first month on it!"


"I was given this medicine from my Dr. I told her I would research it but I paid $25 and picked it up. What a waste of money, I should've researched first. After reading this I'm deathly afraid to take this drug so I won't be. Thank you for all the reviews."


"While taking this medication I began to experience symptoms similar to Parkinson's Syndrome. After a total neurological workup it was determined that it was Risperdal causing the symptoms, not Parkinson's.  Within a week of discontinuing the drug I was symptom free."


"Took 2 25mg vistaril as ordered. My mind did rest and sleep but had really strange dreams. But didn't wake till morning. Just extremely anxious now because of the freaky dream."


"I absolutely hated this drug. My thoughts cycled so fast and I became 100 times more paranoid than I already am. I wouldn't leave the house and even preferred my closet. It multiplied my OCD as well."


"Good experience with prozac"


"I started using Celexa in 2005 following the death of my best friend and other things that I could no longer cope with. I had suffered from depression on and off since I was a teenager.
Some of the side effects I initially experienced was fatigue and dry mouth - that went away...then the excessive sweating started. After a while, I tried to go off it because I thought "well I'm feeling normal, and I'm tired of constant sweating". I started the slow weaning off process and bugger all, I felt myself getting more and more withdrawn and the excessive moodiness and depressed thoughts were coming back. Went back on it.
It's helped me immensely, but like any pharmaceutical - doesn't have the same effects on everybody. It's working for me!"


"I have had RLS since I went through my last growing spurt at the age of 14. I am now 35 and have tried every over the counter drug, herb and supplement known to man. Nothing helped. I tried Mirapex and though it did not always fully work, it worked sometimes, and if you have RLS you know that sometimes is pretty awesome. I started taking tramadol for back pain and for the last year me RLS is completely gone. The only problem is that tramadol was like taking cold medicine and down right horrible most days and the withdrawal can be life-threatening in my opinion. As we all know, any opiate taken right before bed completely cures RLS. But if you stop taking it, your RLS will be 100 times worse, of course the time spent sleeping is worth it!"


"I have been on this pill for over a year now. I was first on ortho tri cyclen lo (tr sprintec is the generic for this) and I absolutely loved it. I never felt moody crampy or had heavy periods. I switched to tri sprintec due to insurance, not for any side effect reasons, I was disappointed to change but I was happy it was basically the same. I feel slightly moody during the first week just like you would during PMS (3-4 first pills in the pack) but no physical changes. My period usually arrives 2-3 days after my pack ends and lasts about 5-6 days and is pretty light except for about a day or two of normal bleeding. I know medications affect everyone differently, so I suggest trying it before letting any negative review sway you."


"I took Alieve for a week and a half. It worked great on my chronic back and foot pain, however my arms and finger joints began to hurt like arthritis! I've never taken a drug which causes new pain!  "


"My first day was awful and the next two days weren't any better,but by day four the upset stomach had stopped. By my second week I noticed that I was not able to finish my food, even if I wanted because it looked so good,I just didn't feel like eating it anymore. As I continued to take the the medicine I figured out that I can't eat like I use to and I never felt better, so far I have listed 3lbs over  2 weeks. I enjoy this medicine because its helping me be the person that I know that I could be."


"1. Ambien caused me to get up in the middle of the night and fix breakfast feasts without giving me any real sleep.

2. Now taking TRAZODONE 50 mg and sleeping like a baby rock."


"I was on Oxycodone 5/325 for about two years and my Doctor switched me to 3 20 MG OC's a day.  i have been taking them for about 6 months now and I feel like a new person.  i have Chronoc Nerological lower back pain.  This drug has changed my life.  i am able to roll around the floor with my kids again and do many things I could not do in the past.  Great drug, but very addicting.  If you take this med, take it exactlt as the Doctor advises.  best pain Med out there.  I have been through them al"


"I took Klonopin and Paxil for 15 years to treat my anxiety disorder.  I had to detox from the Klonopin this past spring.  I got off the Klonopin and switched my Paxil to Lexapro (sex side effect issue).  I am also a recovering alcoholic.  My doctor did not want me on Benzo's anymore (says it increased alcohol cravings).  I stayed on Lexapro only for 9 months, but my anxiety came back strong on just the Lexapro alone.  I almost resorted to taking Xanax before I switched doctors. My new doc gave Zyprexa a chance. I am on my 7th day and I haven't felt this "normal" in 5 years.  I take 5mgs at night and it has ended the "chatter" in my head, and removed my anxiety.  Great medicine so far."


"I got this implant December 2014 after having my baby girl in September. Before putting this in I had lost 20 pounds post partum after gaining 50 while being pregnant. Also before this medication, I have never had troubling acne ever. I started having one pimple every time I had my period since I was 16, that's all. After having this in, I started having back spasms late December( I have never had back issues in my life and I was 24 when I got it) Since then, I have gained 40 pounds (have had it in for 11 months) have started having issues with my gall bladder, stomach and bowels. I have eaten less and worked out more than I ever had in my life with no weight loss whatsoever.  I'm getting it out on Monday."


"I've been using Duac for over 10 yrs and it's a miracle med. I'm now 50 and rarely have acne but what Duac does is to shirk my pores or at least it looks like it does. Don't know what I would do without it!!"


"I am a young adult. My face had been peppered with pimples- many of which were so inflamed that they caused me pain- before I used this product.

This medicine fought the active pimples and prevented more from forming. I was still scarred from my previous acne, so I had to wait until my skin healed. The scarring is the worst part since the skin has to do its own work for that. So eventually, when the scarring faded, I found myself ogling at my amazing complexion. I am so happy to no longer have to worry about dabbing concealer all over my face!

I still get the occasional pimple here and there (though they are far less inflamed), but that's because faces have so many pores that it's inevitable. That's why I'm giving this a 10!"


"I had unprotected sex (stupid I know) but he did pull out but I noticed I was in my ovulation days once I checked my app that tracks all of my periods and such. In all honestly I've been successful with the withdrawal method but being so close to ovulation scared me (you know with the whole pre-cum debate) so I went out the next day and purchased a plan b and immediately took it about 18 hours later. I didn't feel any side effects right away but a week later I got my period! (which came a week early) Don't know if I needed it but I'd rather pay 40 dollars than risk it. :)"


"I got upper respiratory infection that did not get better until I got off of Januvia."


"Works good for muscle spasms and helps you to relax enough to sleep when in bad pain."


"This medication really does what it is suppose to for me!!! I have edema,(some times really bad) and it works great, but make sure that you can have full access to the restroom. It usually takes about 20 mins to work."


"I started taking Celexa about 2 months ago. I told the doctor that I was always overwhelmed and having anxiety attacks while driving and waking up in the middle of the night sweating. I immediately felt the effects within the first few days, but the dry mouth and yawning was unbearable. I switched to taking it before bedtime since it knocks me out anyway. About 2 weeks in I noticed myself acting a little goofy and happy again. I've noticed a dramatic difference in myself since I had my second child and my husband was working 60-70 hours a week, but now with the Celexa I feel much more normal like when I was younger. My doctor told me it would take about 3 months to fully kick in, but so far so good."


"Reason for getting Mirena:
I am 40 yrs old, have endometriosis & terrible periods (the kind that kept me home 1-2 days a month in bed with cramps and bleeding), & no plans to have kids. On paper, I am the perfect candidate for the IUD.
Insertion was THE WORST PAIN OF MY LIFE.  Fortunately, it lasted only a few minutes.  My legs got pretty tired during the procedure and started shaking some.  My Dr encouraged me to relax more, so I literally let my legs fall open in the stirrups (imagine knees falling to the sides, towards the floor).  THAT HELPED HUGELY.  Once I let my legs fall open and to the sides, my inner thighs released, and my pelvic floor relaxed.  If you've never given birth it will probably hurt!!!"


"I got Ocella solely for the reason that I don't want to get pregnant and I got it for free with my insurance. With starting my first pack, I was nauseous the first three days or so but not so bad I guess. Now I'm on my last week of my second pack, about to be on my third pack and my acne has gotten a lot worse unfortunately. I'm going to wait a couple of months to see if that changes though because other than that I love it."


"Started taking Cymbalta as a last resort for radicular sciatica pain. Had surgery, tried many medicines. Been on Cymbalta for 1.5 mos. (5 days-20 mg, 5 days - 40 mg, 1 1/2 weeks - 60 mg, 2 days- 40 mg, 2 days- 30 mg). I experienced most of the side effects (nausea, lethargy, somnolence (sleeping 18-20 hrs a day for 3 wks from that to insomnia to today's date, flatulence, constipation, tingling all over, throat pain, blurry vision, nightmares, night terrors waking in drenching sweats, profuse sweating, hair loss). This is the weirdest medicine I've taken.  Taken Fluoxetine for years with no unusual side effects or withdrawals. Reducing because of side effects of night terrors, sweats, etc. It does work for pain but the cost is high."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have been taking Pradaxa for 5 weeks and the only thing that has occurred to me is dark reddish urine every now and then and I don't bleed as bad as I have on Plavix and aspirin. I have noticed more gas but no heartburn, I hope this works as in May of this year I almost died because of atrial fibrillation, which threw a blood clot in my small intestines and I got gangrene and they had to remove 80% of my small intestines. So far Pradaxa is working fine with me.

"


"I had severe hot flashes and within 2 days of taking pristiq they stopped completely - I am not kidding."


"Had mirena implanted 9 months ago for heavy bleeding & uterine fibroids. Bleeding has almost stopped but side effects are terrible. I have people asking me why i cant control my mood swings. Strange odour, no sex drive what so ever,  frequent headaches, frequent cramps in calf muscles, put on 7kgs since mirena was implanted. Doctor said to try this as removing my uterus is too drastic & only done as last resort. I have tried soo many other contraceptives, nothing else has worked but for me the side effects far outweigh the lack of bleeding. I want mirena taken out at my next gynaecology appointment."


"I have had 3 kids all via c-section and had Mirena inserted over 2 months ago.  For me personally, insertion was not painful at all.  The thing they use to open me up during pap smears was the thing I felt most.  I didn't use any medication before or after insertion.  I didn't have any cramping after insertion either.  So far I still have irregular bleeding/spotting.  I'm hoping that goes away soon since it's been over 2 months.  I have noticed an increase in hair loss, but I can't be certain it's from Mirena or from a stressful move to a new very hot & humid state.  I haven't had any mood swings, depression, or acne like others have stated.  So far I'm pleased with it.  And hopefully my bleeding will stop soon so I can rate it a "10"!"


"I was put on 100mg of Nucynta ER for facial nerve pain. I have found that it doesn't work that well for my pain and it causes intense headaches and fatigue.

I have also experienced auditory hallucinations at night or when daydreaming when fatigued. Just some really weird side effects, and increased insomnia. I still find more relief from low dose oxycodone for break through pain but like to limit the number of times a week I have to use it.

I find the pain relief to be mild/moderate at best, and with a lot more side effects then the oxycodone, but everyone reacts differently.

If you had any side effects at all when trying Tramadol be cautious, in my experience (with Nucynta) the side effects were the same but more intense."


"Iv'e been on comcerta 2 weeks now n just gone up to 36mg I've had ADHD all my life and only just been diagnosed, always wondered why I can be anything I want end up going off the rails! Anyways this medication has basically changed me in a good way, I think if u really have ADHD this medication works n only doesn't work when u haven't got it! First week struggled sleeping but fine now, n theres no loss on my appetite I just don't crave the sugar n junk food that I used to so its a win win for me coz I'm a boxer and been in sport all my life! I can focus proper n its basically a miracle, for me, so far like :)"


"I take Endep for depression.  If I take it in the evening or at night I cannot sleep at all; just toss and turn all night.  Therefore, I only take it in the morning."


"I never had a history of DVTs; I'm not overweight; I do not smoke; I work out EVERY day and am generally healthy. I started taking this because I was developing ovarian cysts ALOT. Having said that, I still developed a DVT in my arm, and now I have to be on Coumadin for the rest of my life and administer Lovanox Shots in my belly twice a day."


"Generess was hell for the first month that I took it, I was hungry hungry, broke out, gained weight, I also threw up. But after that month the exact opposite happened, I lost all the weight, my skin was completely clear and my breasts were huge."


"Was started on this in the ER at time of diagnosis. After three days and only negligible improvement I returned to the ER. This time I was given an IV of Rocephin and by the end of the day I could see huge improvements. Not sure why they don't culture and match the right drug."


" began with the minimum 0.6 mg dose of Saxenda on 9 February and increased by the same amount every 7 days. My appetite disappeared but the acid indigestion was horrible.I also felt tired, lethargic and dizzy most of the time. After 3 weeks, I decided to increase the dosage every 14 days instead, which helped. I'm now steady at 2.4 mgs. The side effects have disappeared, except for the fatigue. I wear a Fitbit and try to do 5,000 steps per day. Cardio is out of the question; I'm just too tired but I have lost 5kgs (approx 12lbs). I feel and look so much better. I've started getting an itchy rash at the injection sites. Fatty or sugary food is repulsive; I can easily eat less than 1,000 cals / day."


"I used this drug for the sole purpose to control my moderate acne.

Side effects: Noticeably more emotional for the first few weeks.

After usage of 1 year: My acne has decreased dramatically, but I'm not quite sure if it's because I stopped stressing about my acne, or because I changed my hair products, or because of this drug by itself. My skin started getting clearer around 7 months in to taking this medication. Like I said, I don't know if it was because of this, but I don't want to stop taking it because I'm scared my acne will return back to the way it was. It seems that the longer I've taken it, the clearer my skin has become. :)"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I did the initial dose as directed... could barely tolerate getting it down. Maybe I followed it with water too fast but threw up less than ten minutes after drinking. It worked initially, about another 10 minutes my stomach gurgled and could not make the 5 steps to the bathroom before I had liquidised stool running down my leg (and on my white carpet!) uncontrollable! This went on for hours, and the worst part was the second dose was scheduled for 3am. Felt so sick I spilled it and even though I had been on a liquid fast 4 almost 3 days prior, in the morning I was constipated (probably from other meds I take) and they could not do colonoscopy. I am not looking forward to the next time. But I now plan on Depends and living in bathroom. Yuck"


"I've been using Ambien for about 4 to 5 years now. I also take a pain medication for a back injury. My doctor switched me to Ambien CR and the side effects were horrible. I felt angry beyond my control, confused, experienced memory loss, and crazy hallucinations. This was about 2 weeks ago and I'm still trying to put the pieces together. Make sure if you take this pill you check for drug interactions and be in bed ready to sleep. It's good and sad to know I'm not the only one."


"I've been on Microgestin for 2 months now and I'm loving it, it took me 2.5 years to find a hormonal birth control method that worked for me. While on a different pill, I was having problems with suicidal thoughts and depression along with massive mood swings and breast tenderness. I was ready to quit hormonal birth control all together, but decided to give this one a try first. I haven't been having any negative symptoms, I'm very very happy to have found this. I only wish I could have found Microgestin sooner."


"Lamotrigine is an excellent medication for Bipolar II. It helps to even out your mood, but what I found most definitely is helping the depression. Sure it takes a long time to establish a "sweet spot dose" but it's worth the wait. The only troublesome side effect I have had is vision issues, primarily blurred vision -- not debilitating but irritating, yes."


"I started taking this at 5mg for bipolar disorder. Firstly, the wafer I had to put under my tongue was horrendous! The taste can only be described as the taste of poison. It made my tongue numb. It made me extremely drowsy but it was hard to sleep because I had almost a painful restlessness in my legs so felt I couldn't stop moving yet I was so tired. It was a very uncomfortable feeling. This drug, an anti-psychotic MADE me psychotic. It dramatically changed my personally from the moment I took it. I became aggressive and angry at everyone. If I'd had a higher dose, i think I could have become homicidal. This was a terrible drug for me so I didn't last on it long at all, it was just too dangerous for me."


"I got this birth control in July 2012 and I bled for about 3 months straight, with light and heavy bleeding. Then after that I never got another period until now, it's getting near the end of the 3rd year and I'm starting to spot lightly. I don't know if this is normal and I can't find the answer anywhere. I would have to say that my fiancé and I love it, just not the prolonged bleeding in the beginning. I would recommend this birth control to anyone who may forget to take the pill."


"2 weeks in so far and no symptoms. I'll update if anything changes."


"I have only been diagnosed for about a year now. I have completely lost my life due to fibromyalgia pain. My doctor started me on Cymbalta, which worked for awhile but then stopped, then put me on Lyrica without weaning me off Cymbalta....WITHDRAWALS hello. Had to start again and wean off while also taking Lyrica. The Lyrica seemed to help at first too, then wham just like everything else, stopped working....EXCEPT on weight gain and brain fog. I was a zombie. So now I'm worsening day by day even though I try to stay active have cut all caffeine, etc. because my doctors just don't believe pain medicines help and say there isn't much else they can do for me. Glad for the people it has helped."


"It worked! I took it 3 hous after our accident, 15 days into my cycle, and today I got my period right on time. I had no side effects so I was worried it hadn't worked but it certainly did. Very happy with the outcome and the product especially considering I'm extremely med and hormone sensitive. I would highly recommend it."


"I used to take a high dosage time release tablet of another drug. If I took it when I woke up, say 8 o'clock, I would inevitably go through an anxious and depressing period everyday around 5pm. My psychiatrist prescribed me Adderall Xr and Adderall to see if I wouldn't go through this down period. I am so much happier now. Adderall permits me to be focused, less impulsive, and organized while lessening up the side effects, which I got with the other drug. I have an appetite, but am not an impulsive eater. "


"It works, but every time I use it it causes my heart to speed up really fast and my hands to shake. I avoid it, and I won't use it even if I know I should. I've used it between or during classes and had a hard time note taking because my hands would not stay still. Of course, the important thing is being able to breathe..."

"For Fibromyalgia:  I have been taking two 600 mg tabs per day of the 100% guafenesin Mucinex since June 2014. Previously was on Lyrica (I now have liver damage I think was caused from that and Cymbalta) which really didn't seem to help much. Can't claim to be totally pain free because it appears I have a "weather" body. Whenever a high pressure storm system comes in, my pain levels go up. I am convinced however that guafenesin therapy works. I have seen other websites that say it is only having a placebo effect, but then how do you explain those people who accidentally helped themselves stop fibro pain when they took it for sinus problems? I now have to be very careful what I take due to liver problems and guaf has no side effects... So? :)"


"I've been on Nexplanon for 2 months now, and was well aware of all of the adverse side effects, but like others, felt as though I was not going to be the victim of these terrible reactions. I was right for the most part. I haven't had any problem with acne, weight gain (I've lost weight, actually) or hair loss, but the bleeding, oh dear God, the bleeding... I had mine implanted during my cycle and pretty much stopped that day. I had a week menstruation-free, and have had heavy spotting to moderate bleeding everyday since. My gyno put me on Norethindrone 5 MG tablets once daily to stop the bleeding a week ago. After taking them for 5 days, the spotting stopped. I was overjoyed- until I started bleeding after sex last night! "


"At first I lost a little weight probably from the nausea in the beginning.  Yes, It did seem to help my anxiety.  But, as time went on I steadily gained 20lbs in the 9 months I was on this.  I was always a healthy weight for my height.  Now I am chunky.  I tapered off slowly with my doctor's help.  I've been off sertraline for 3 months.  I have exercised daily, 30-45 min runs 5-7 days a week, I have upped my protein and cut calories, my weight has not budged.  There is no doubt in my mind that this AD destroyed my metabolism.  I'm not giving up and will continue to diet and exercise. I would never recommend this ssri to anyone unless they are fine with getting fat.  I wish my dr had advised me of this. :("


"I am 28 year old female. I was prescribed 10 mg.  I read a lot of reviews on Celexa where people said they felt a difference the first week and was starting to get really disappointed when I felt no different in that time frame.  I have been on it for exactly 7 weeks now and am just now starting to notice a difference. My interests have returned, I have more energy, and I am able to focus.  Overall I am definitely happier and don't feel down in the dumps anymore.  The only side effect I had was it made me very tired in the beginning but that has gone away completely.  For me, Celexa is working!"


"Every doc said was IBS but a biopsy showed inflammation without being UC....I'm taking apriso and I'm so happy my life change 100%...keep fingers crossed "


"I ached all over while on a camping trip and was restless so I took 1 Aleve to take the edge off and quickly felt myself drifting off to la la land.  I was woken by sharp stomach pains and tried to unsuccessfully use the bathroom. When I climbed back into my tent I began experiencing itchy palms and soles of my feet. Being that I was camping I thought I must have gotten into something poisonous but then I felt my tongue starting to swell and I started to wheeze. Fortunately I was in a place the had a medic tent where they assessed me to find my blood pressure through the roof & my pulse skyrocketing. After 30 or so minutes the side effects began to subside and my vitals went back to normal & the Aleve went into the trash. Read side effects"


"This is a wonderful medicine that will turn off the most vicious coughs.  Having said that, my doctor and I found that 5ml every 8hrs (instead of the usual max of 10ml/day) is most effective IN MY CASE; I'm about 2 meters tall and about 105 kilo.

I have asthma which is easily exacerbated; when I get any sort of cough it can (and, in the past has) turn(ed) into pneumonia. In my doctor's estimation, Tussionex has saved me about 5 trips to the hospital, over the last 10 years.

In summary: This medicine, (expensive as it may be) has, in my opinion, plausibly saved my life. It shuts the cough off and allows my lungs to heal."


"I felt like I was pressured into getting Mirena by my doctor. Pills are easy to forget and I would still get nervous about pregnancy while taking them. This experience has been a nightmare. I am on month 4. At first it was bleeding and cramping for a month straight. Then I started getting very mild yeast infections. They would get worse and I would have to either get treatment or try to use home remedies (lots of probiotics). Every time I talk to my doctor she tells me to wait it out. This is my 3rd yeast infection in a month, maybe 5th or 6th since May. I have only had yeast infections in the past while on antibiotics and they would go away without treatment. Too good to be true for me :/"


"I am having nothing but problems on this birth control. I am a month and a half into using it and I have been spotting often. I spot more with sex. I just took the 9 th pill of the new pack and I am already spotting. I am moody and crying very easily. This birth control is not working for me. All this spotting is messing with my sex drive and I just never know what to expect."


"Two weeks ago my boyfriend and I had a condom slip, we both panicked. I am no longer on birth control so there was a problem! I took Plan B about 22 hours after the incident. I only got minor side cramps and back aches. It was a long wait but after 6 days I got my period! And I am over the "weight limit" that people say it won't work because of. But it does! I am writing this for all of you scared thinking this pill doesn't work, don't sweat it. Relax, it really is magic"


"I found the disintegrating velotab very easy to swallow, but the medication was too sedating."


"THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS ORTHO TRI CYCLYN LO!! I do not care what pharmacists or doctors say. I was on ortho tri cycling lo for 15 years and loved it and had NO side effects. The "generic" was given to me because my insurance stopped covering birth control and obviously the generic is cheaper. Within 2 weeks my moods were INSANE - I can't stop crying and I am just an emotional mess. My boobs are huge and hurt so bad and I have horribly painful cystic acne all over my face and chin and neck. It also made my sex drive literally non existent.This is the worst thing that I have put in my body. I  do not recommend that anyone takes this. What's more upsetting is that it is acceptable to tell people that it is comparable to the real medication."


"I started Brintellix 3/16. I didn't have the GI issues that many do. But it affected my sex drive and made me tired. My Dr said to take it at night. When I did, both issues subsided. I felt much better! I had a more positive outlook. I took on a 2nd job, which shocked my Dr - as a lot of my depression is work related. In Sept., my Pharmacy started filling it as Trintellix. My Dr says there isn't any ingredient changes in the medicine - just the name. I'm not convinced. I've been having mild depressive episodes since Sept./Oct., and they've gotten worse. I thought it was dehydration, but I can guzzle down water and it doesn't help. This medicine has been amazing for me up until recently.  Maybe I need to up my dose?"


"Worked great for infection but side effects were becoming disturbing after three days - bad taste always, couldn't sleep, too much energy - couldn't sit still, strange mental clarity and deliberate movements, frequent urination.  After 3 days I didn't feel sick anymore but the side effects were too much."


"Belsomra is REMARKABLE! My entire quality of life has improved immensely!!!!!!! I take 20mg a night, fall asleep fairly quickly (I have a fitbit that tracks sleep), feel well-rested the next morning, and have a better overall sleep quality than before I was on Belsomra! The first 2 nights I took it, I had nightmares, but I've been on it for 2 months now with no more nightmares! I have been on Seroquel, Ambien, Ambien CR, Amytriptaline, Doxepin, Xanax, and I have tried Melatonin and Benadryl! Nothing works like Belsomra does!!!! I'm so grateful for it! It is quite expensive though, when I got on it my family deductible had already been met, so the cost for me is $0, but I do know it is sooo expensive otherwise!"


"*DISCLAIMER* I only used tri-sprintec for 8 days.
I discontinued use because of the side-effects.  I had previously used NuvaRing, which did not give me any noticeable side-effects, but with tri-sprintec I was nauseous all eight days, felt bloated, and had severe mood depression.  The reason I stopped so early on was the depression.  I'm a student and it just wasn't worthwhile to me to be dealing with depression on top of a heavy course load."


"This medication helps with my muscle cramping and helps me relax at night so I can sleep."


"I take a 2.5mg tablet of Selegiline with breakfast and it has helped with depression and fatigue. I cut a 5 mg tablet in half.  If I miss the morning dose, I try not to take it any later than noon because it keeps me up at night.  I tried 5mg to start but I didn't feel right and had insomnia. I also take a 1 to 2 day break after taking it for 5 days straight."


"I highly recommend Yaz for anyone experiencing awful pms/pmdd. I was on a generic pill, Lutera, for around 6 months, and each month my symptoms got worse and worse. The last week that I was on it was one of the worst weeks of my life, mood swings, roller coaster emotions, suicidal thoughts, and I begged my doctor to put in an IUD. She had me try Yaz, and I'm glad she did. For the first month I cramped more than usual and my breasts were tender, but the change in my emotional level is amazing. I can actually function! This drug was life-changing for me."


"Works well but had site reaction with each patch. Itching, swelling and redness. Tried using Benadryl spray 1st, let dry then applied patch.  Patch then would not stick properly."


"Great for depression and great for my hair."


"I feel like I cough even more after taking this. It is not effective at all."


"I am a 60 year old male who has suffered with depression and panic attacks. In my late 30s, I decided to seek help.  Like many others, the list of medications my doctors tried would fill a dictionary.  Some worked for a while.  I refused to take Lithium.  In my late 40s, I was also diagnosed with ADD.

I now use 4 medications successfully: Effexor XR 450 mg daily, Xanax 1 mg daily, Adderall XR 60 mg daily, and Strattera 25 mg daily.

I am now free of both depression and panic attacks for nearly 10 years!  I am comfortable in public speaking and find that I love the adrenalin-rush!

I've tried to stop using Effexor XR but always restarted because of the horrible depression.  Withdrawal is like a bad acid trip.  Use Effexor to stay alive!"


"Just started Victoza almost a week ago.  I do not have Diabetes Type II but I'm borderline due to my weight and family history.  The nausea is really getting me, I started doing my shot at night and while the nausea improved, I still have terrible tasting burps.  They taste like I just ate a egg Mcmuffin.  They last all day.  So, yes, that is disgusting.  Appetite is much less.  I weighed today and have lost 2lbs.  My PA called me in some Zofran to help with the nausea."


"I started taking adipex on Sunday September 27, 2015. My weight was 219.4 pounds. This morning, exactly  ten days later I am weighing 213.2. I feel great. The only side effect is the extremely dry mouth. I try to drink a lot of water. My sleep is not like it was but I have noticed a slight improvement theses last three days. I think it's worth the discomforts."


"Been taking this for a year and my body never regulated to it. I spotted through almost the whole pack, every single time. Sexual intercourse became painful for me. This has personally been the worst experience with birthcontrol for me. I thought it would have been nice having a 91 day cycle, but given that I have bled through over 65 days of it, it is just absolutley not worth it."


"I can't say enough about how much this medicine has helped me with depression. I spent years in and out of deep depression. I was finally diagnosed with depression and post traumatic stress disorder and started Prozac at 20 mg then went up to 40mg. I knew it was helping but I didn't fully realize how much until I forgot to take it for about 5 days. Then I started to feel the hopeless feeling I get with depression and I haven't missed a dose since. I'm one of the lucky ones with no negative side effects. My libido is better than ever and I've actually lost a few pounds. I sleep great and wake up every morning feeling rested and more positive about life than I ever have before."


"OMG I've always had bad luck with speaking in in front of groups.... i always stutter and have trouble getting my words out. I tried this medication for my university presentation, and omg i walked up to the stage AND I WASNT FEELING LIKE MY HEART WAS GONNA BOUNCE OUT OF MY CHEST. My heart was at its normal paste paced (slowest) and i was as cool as a cucumber! I talked fluently! and professionally. I didn't talk too fast due nervousness nor did i stutter. I didn't have high hopes for this medication but i was so wrong!

THIS DRUG IS A LIFE SAVER. I took 40 mg 40 mins before my presentation.

IF you stutter due to nervousness, PLS TRY THIS."


"It works with little side effects."


"Ambien is a lifesaver. No matter how tired I am, I can't fall asleep or stay asleep. With Ambien I sleep all night. I have been taking it for about 3 years but I ONLY take 5mg. I think the mistake people make is they take too much. It's not supposed to drug you and make you pass out. It allows you to fall asleep naturally. No need to increase amount.  Try it"


"Works well at keeping my phosphorus down.

I take two tablets with my average meals, I take three tablets if I eat an usually large meal. I also take one or two tablets with snacks. The only side affect I've experienced is constipation, I sometimes take a mild stool softener, not a big problem.

All medications only work if taken as prescribed on a consistent basis. It's such a small thing to do for your health."


"Otezla has changed my life for the better. My arms, legs, stomach, scalp and personal areas were covered with psoriasis for decades. It was very depressing, I hid under clothes no thought everyone was staring at my horrible looking skin. I had tried every ointment and cream know to treat psoriasis. Nothing worked. I finally, went to anew dermatologist and asked him about Otezla - I have been researching many oral melds but were afraid of the side affects. He said that Otezla could work, that the side affects were minimal but the success rates were not super high. I started on the Otezla pills long with Enstilar spray cream. After 2 months I was free and clear. It has been miraculous, my skin is smooth, & my self confidence has gone up."


"Very good"


"Nailed my presentation!!!"


"I get gout often.  Nothing like indomethacin works as well.  It does make me feel "loopey" kind of light headed.  But I call it a miracle. Trust me, Gout is no fun."


"Was tired of dealing with creams and the mess due to them. I always seem to get a yeast infection after antibiotics. My doctor called this in. Yes I was like no way two pills was going to work but by the end of the week most of the symptoms were gone."


"After 8 weeks on Lialda, it did not clear up the blood, still had abdomen tenderness, and caused me to have diarrhea. I did get a discount card which brought the cost down to $10. If you like this medicine, you should go to their website and see if you can get this card. I got it from my MD."


"Ok so I love Prozac ... My doctor had me on 20 mg then he wanted to try 20mg of trintellix.  I didn't really like trintellix.  No side affects but I still was irritable and not focused. I also have ADHD and worry about everything.  Yesterday my doctor put me back on Prozac.  Yes lord.  I cant wait to feel normal again.  This summer that is how I felt, normal. Like, is this really what the world is like.  I like it!!!!! "


"I take two 20mg a day (one in the morning and one in the afternoon).

Details:
-20 y/o female
-diagnosed ADD for  4 years
-tried Adderall (worked decently, bad crashes) and methylphenidate (nausea, motion sickness, didn't help ADD)
-other conditions: severe depression, OCD

PROS:
-extremely helpful, like night and day
-no jitter, tremor, etc
-no crash

CONS:
-reduced appetite
-*have to special order through Target pharmacy because most places don't keep it in stock"


"I was prescribed Ultram a few months ago when I was in a severe fibromyalgia flare. It worked so well I asked my Dr. to keep me on it. She prescribed 100mg/day in divided doses but told me that a friend of hers took 2 every morning and was doing very well on it. I try not to take it on a regular basis to avoid addiction. The worst part of taking it is that when the pain returns it returns with a vengeance! That's when I want to take another dose but I don't because I know I will end up taking more and more to get the same relief. I didn't realize I was in such extreme pain until I didn't feel it while taking the Ultram. I do have to take 100mg to get relief."


"My rheumatologist, who is also a pain specialist, recently put me on topentodol for arthritic pain and it has reduced the pain significantly. I have an allergic itching reaction to many drugs but apart from initial sleepiness I have not had any side effects. My specialist told me that topentadol will not help fibromyalgia pain, a ketamine infusion is best for that."


"This is the most horrifying drug I have ever taken in all my 67 years. My Doctor prescribed it in conjunction with Lisinopri because my blood pressure, which was slightly above normal, needed to be further lower, said Doc. With no verbal warning from the Doctor or the pharmacy, after three days I stopped sleeping. I went for a 40 hour period with two hours of sleep. When I was awake, I had absolutely no energy or enthusiasm. I had no idea what was happening. I reached out to the Doctor via email for help, She actually suggested I might need psychiatric help. I was dumbfounded. Finally I figured out what was going on by researching online. I stopped taking the drug, and changed Doctors and Hospital Systems. Be warned."


"I have suffered with migraines since I was a teenager and I've tried all types of pain medications..NONE of them helped my migraines..My doctor gave me Panlor and it works and it stop the pain fast..I have at least 4 migraines per week and I've been taking BC powder with a coke but it don't give me the relief like Panlor..I'm 37 now and I really need some for this pain.."


"I've been on Wellbutrin XL for a few years and recently was switched to Wellbutrin SR. I felt an immediate difference. I was dizzy the first day but the 2nd day I was alert and calm. I've lost 10 pounds in the few weeks I've been on it which is good going from 150-140."


"Like many of you, I was scared of the possible side effects, but decided to give the implant a try anyway. I was not on my period when I got the implant, but this didn't cause any changes in my cycle. I have been experiencing random spotting, but it has been very light. It caused me to be incredibly moody for the first three weeks, and occasionally I will have a few sensitive moments, but for the most part, my mood has leveled out. Initially, the implant did stimulate my appetite, but that has also subsided. Due to me following a healthy diet and exercising regularly, I've been successful in losing several pounds in the month and a half that I've had Nexplanon. All in all, my personal experience has been positive."


"At the onset of my ulcerative colitis (UC), I was hospitalized for an extended time. I lost a lot of blood and had a transfusion. I was put on a very high dose of prednisone and was then introduced to Asacol.  While on Asacol, I've had just a few minor UC attacks that went away quickly when "upping" the Asacol during the flair-up.  I think it's a great drug.  I currently take 6 pills a day for maintenance."


"I'm on my 6th week of accutane, I suffered from mild/persistent acne for about 6 years, I am now 21. The first few weeks I saw absolutely no results, just dry skin and chapped lips, which progressed to dry skin and bad break outs by week 3 or so. But by week 4 I started seeing my skin clear up, I saw my face completely clear up by the end of week 4 (minus scars). However, after 3-5 days of no new acne I had a flare up, which didn't last long. Now going into week 6 and coming off another acne free week, my acne is flaring up, but not as bad as usual though. I'm on day 40 or 41 and I'm hoping soon these small flare ups go away, but for now all I can do is stay positive."


"This medicine is amazing. After 10 years of chronic diarrhea, fecal urgency and other Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms, I went to see the gastro as I was doubled over in colic-type pain up to 3 times a month. He gave me 25mg to take at night and I haven't looked back."


"I have had Chronic Constipation for over 10 years, I would only go once a month usually the first day of my period. I have tried all types of medication and had procedures done because I thought something was wrong. I spoke with my doctor and she prescribed Amitiza to me the price was crazy even with my insurance but I was willing to try anything I took it for 15 days.  I am very active and drink water like crazy and did not have a single bowel motion during that time. I am disappointed, thought I had found a solution to my problem. Back to the drawing board."


"Works great for my ADHD. It's the first drug I was prescribed for it and I think I'll be sticking with it. The only effects other than helping with focus that I've had so far are some extra energy and a little bit of a reduction in appetite. I'll have to switch to immediate release next month though, since the extended release pills are still a little bit expensive."


"Made my cold sore worse. It re-activated the cold sore and caused it to spread further. Do not buy this product. Bleach and clay masks have a much better effectiveness."


"Had severe sinus infection caused by allergy and polyps.  Treated infection with Zithromax and would get relief as long as treatment lasted. Within days symptoms would start to return. First Zithromax treatment was for 5 days then twice in 14 days. Went to a specialist and he recommended surgery for the polyps and prescribed Levaquin for the infection. Felt relief within days and weeks later no recurrence of the infection.
Will still need the surgery. I've had it twice before. The recovery time from surgery is about 3-4 weeks and very miserable but worth the agony for the relief it brings.
Due to the side effects, etc., be sure it's an infection and not just a virus prior to starting antibiotic treatment."


"I was just prescribed this medication because I have an issue with reoccurring BV. My doctor told me there is no cure for it and about 70% of women are diagnosed with it. I am on day 4 and I can't take it anymore. I was not experiencing any symptoms until this morning when I was getting ready for work. I was extremely nauseous, but still tried to push through. I eat before I take any medication. I also have been drinking nothing, but water. As I was working I started experiencing chills and started profusely sweating. I went to the bathroom and my vision got fuzzy. My chest was tightening and I could not breathe. I was experiencing a lot of anxiety and had an anxiety attack. My stools have been loose and I stopped wanting to eat :("


"Have never had a problem, feel great and love it!"


"Anyone ever took Lotrel for hypertension?  A cardio doc prescribed Lisinopril on TOP of my already-taking Lotrel, but the pharm doc said I could NOT take both medicines without my BP crashing.  Confused, I called the prescribing cardiologist who said go ahead and get the "benefit" of both drugs.  I did,  and wound up in an ER semi-conscious; BP systolic (top number) was 52, I forget diastolic probably because I want to!  Big worry was that my kidneys had "taken a hit."  Later, Lisinopril by itself wasn't as effective as Lotrel.  Two lessons, (1) some doctors are incompetent, and on drug matters the pharmacist is the final authority."


"This is miserable! Tramadol hasn't touched the pain or discomfort. I have many pain killers but not sure which to take now that I've taken 1 tramadol at 5 pm and another at 9pm with no relief at all! HELP!"


"This is the only medication I have ever taken that I completely regret. I have been on at least six different medications for major depression. I gradually went up to a 225mg dose. I had horrible withdrawals from a missed dose, I would become dizzy and light headed half way through the day I missed a dose. I could barely leave my bed with how sick I would feel from withdrawals. I have moderate anxiety that became amplified on this drug. I became paranoid and had major anxiety attacks. I also started to have uncontrollable tics that interfered with my daily routine. And lastly, I gained more weight and I'm having difficulty loosing it. Now I am slowly being taken off the drug and I am miserable, I am so sick from the withdrawals."


"Yes, ParaGard hurt like hell when it went in four years ago and the first few days left me achy. I occasionally have some cramping during my periods. But I will say, it was so worth it. No issues with pregnancy at all and none of the side effects from the high hormone pills I used to be on. These people who experienced crazy changes shouldn't be so harsh since the negative experiences are so rare. Also, I don't know if some of these side effects people are mentioning are directly related to the IUD...it is easy to blame something when it could be something else. Be informed and make the choice based on sound SCIENTIFIC research, not some  review."


"I am a taxi driver and I had a difficult to driving as I always needed a toilet urgently. After taking this medication within two days big changes in my life.
I become a normal person and I can hold urine as long as I want. So far no side effects. Dosage was a 5 mg"


"I've been sick for a week. It started out with headache, throat pain, chills and over all just feeling exhausted. I had rapid strep and culture, both appearing negative. This is 7 days later, no change in symptoms and this morning I woke up with little pus pockets in my throat. I've been taking Alkaseltzer for 7 days and the instructions state to see an MD if taken longer than 1 week, so I went to urgent care and was prescribed Amoxicillin. I took 2 Amoxicillin four hours ago and already feel 90% better!  I haven't taken antibiotics for many years.  I am grateful to be feeling better so quickly~!"


"Lexapro is extremely helpful in reducing my generalized anxiety disorder. I need to take a Xanax very very rarely in case of panic attack or severe anxiety that the Lexapro doesn't cut it but 98% of the time Lexapro knocks out my feelings of rumination from generalized anxiety, panic and fear."


"I'm 19 and have had more yeast infections than some people have had in their life. I rely on this medication as I usually have a YI 1-3 times a year.  This itches like HELL. I can't stop wiggling and it's almost unbearable. BUT it will be done in 3 days and I will feel 100% better. No pain no gain lol, take the meds and get back to normal. Be prepared for the most intense internal itch of your life though...."


"I have been treated for Schizoaffective Disorder and Bipolar 1 since 1998.  I have been on many medicines and combinations of medicines.  In 2006 I had been off medicines for about a year when I went into psychosis and extremely manic - I was not sleeping and could not relax.  The hallucinations and delusions were troubling.  I was given Seroquel and on the FIRST NIGHT I slept and slept very well for the first time in months.  I woke up with a clear head and was not confused about who or where I was.  I did not get the zombie feeling but I was very tired all the time - taking Seroquel 4 times a day.  When my dose and frequency were reduced the sleepiness went away.  (I take it just at bedtime now).  I didn't get weight gain from it.  Seroquel was my miracle medicine."


"hands down - the best cold medication out there!"


"I'm 56 and have lost the lead in my pencil.  I had not had relations with my wife of 30 years for about 2 years.  This affliction was combined with Premature ejaculation, which my wife has always hated.  I finally got some Cialis (20mg) and Poxet (30mg).  Have tried  them both and the results were incredible.  We are both very happy.

MP"


"It's an excellent alternative to benzoids. I didn't notice anything right away. One day, a few weeks later I  noticed my mind wasn't racing itself into destruction anymore! I'm glad there's no benzoid withdrawal."


"Brilliant now. It just needs time, mine was awful at the start, headaches and stomachache and arm pain and bleeding but 3 months later I have nothing at all. It's worth that wait."


"I have been on this medicine for 7 months and it has absolutely changed my life. The severity of my asthma was so bad, that it would land me in the hospital at least once every two months. And I mean admitted for like a week, not just ER visits.  I take 300mg 4 times a month. The results are phenomenal. I am able to do things and participate in physical activities that i havent been able to do in years. I have zero side effects, and although it is a pain to have to go the infusion center at the hospital once a week, it is beyond worth it. If the possible benefits outway the possible risks, I would definitely recommend Xolair."


"This medication didn't come close to helping me the way my regular Adderall does. That being said I am going to stick with what I KNOW works but that's just me. Now I've heard others swear by Adzenys & wonder where its been all of their lives which I think is great. Just like any other drug what works for one may be rubbish 4 another. Adzenys is a fairly new drug on the market so of course Drs everywhere are going 2 B pushing it right now. I've worked in the medical field & I've seen Drs promote meds that they weren't even crazy about.. It  just depended on what the drug rep looked like for that particular med & how they themselves were going to benefit by writing the drug. I'm not saying Adzenys is bad I'm just saying 4 me it didn't work."


"The first set of injections caused my cervical dystonia substantially worse and very painful for approximately a week. Then it seemed to help for about 3 weeks. The second set of injections (forehead, side of head, back of head, side of neck, back of neck, shoulders, spine) caused WAY worse symptoms for about 3 weeks & relief off and on for a week. It's hard to tell whether it's the xeomin or the invasive injections. I'm struggling with whether to attempt more injections. On a side note I was on high dose of zanaflex which did help the most..but, my liver enzymes shot through the roof and I was taken off completely after being on it for years. I was prescribed Baclofen. So far no relief."


"Love it...I use the product once a week..."


"I started smoking around 10, and have smoked 1pk/day since about 12. I am now 24. I am on "Week 3, Day 1" of Chantix. The first day was HORRIBLE! I had my kids lay with me on the couch because I just had to lay down! Since then I have had occasional nausea but felt fine. This medicine is a miracle for me! I have tried everything under the sun to stop smoking and I felt helpless. I have not smoked in 8 days. I still want to, but it feels like Chantix gave me additional motivation to say NO. It really amazes me! I went from helpless to counting days and dollars saved."


"Only been taking Alfuzosin for 3 weeks. It helped almost immediately with my bph however the side effects of tiredness and sexual dysfunction is a very real issue. I will stop taking this medication hoping my energy will return as well sex drive."


"This medicine sucked!  I was asleep all the time, all day long!  Couldn't function in school, couldn't function at work.  I was tired all the time and was eating every food that I saw in front of me.  If I could give 0 stars to this medication I would."


""I've been taking humira for over 8 years for severe rheumatoid arthritis. One 40 mg pen shot every 2 weeks. It's worked wonders on my arthritis. I love it cause no methotrexate Or plaquenil . Some side effects  like cold sores like three times a year.  After all this years, its effects started to slow down, so my Dr switch me to another new drug Xeli and OMG suffered horrible side effects. I went back to my Dr who got me back on Humira. Again, My life is back to almost normal and when pain kind of appears I take prednisone 5mg for around a week that  stops it. I won't leave Humira at less it doesn't work that all. The other drug that I  took by mouth everyday for three months almost destroyed my stomach. This is inyected every two weeks."


"wow! dulcolax is amazing! i hadn't had a bowel movement in 1 week. i had a huge impacted stool just lodged in my anus. it was so hard that it felt like a stabbing pain. i took one tablet of dulcolax (5mg) in the morning around 9am with lots of water and by 10:30 am, I went to the toilet to try again and the stool had softened up and came out easily. i had one more soft bowel movement in the evening before i felt completely cleared out. no abdominal pain, no side effects i see on here."


"I'm 29 and have had bad acne since childhood. It cleared my acne up about 95%. Don't get the bad cyst zits at all anymore. It burns a bit after putting it on before bed. More annoying than painful. Worth it for the clearest skin I've had in almost 20 years."


"I did 3 prior treatments to Harvoni.  The three previous treatments were about 1and 1/2 yrs each.  They were horrible and I felt terrible most of the time. I took Harvoni for 12 wks and I was cured.. Hardly any side effects if any at all. This is our Miracle Drug."


"I have severe panic disorder for years now. I've been taken off ativan and put on buspar, 15mg 3 times a day. I feel amazing. no full blown panic attacks in weeks, thats a true miracle for me. my appetite is low, and I'm losing much needed weight. I'm also on neurontin for anxiety, lexapro for anxiety and depression. I have to say, this is the best I've felt in over 10 years. this buspar works for me, amazing drug."


"Patience, patience, patience! I have been using this product for 14 weeks. The first two months were awful. Had tiny little white heads ALL over my face. Add my cystic acne into the mix, and you can imagine how upset I was. I honestly felt like stopping this product, but decided that I'd tried it for 2 months and wanted my skin to get used to a routine. I AM SO GLAD I WAITED IT OUT! I currently only have one, YES ONE active pimple on my jawline. I have suffered from acne since I was 22. I'll be 27 in a few months so this is honestly a miracle for me. Don't give up, guys. It took me 14 weeks to finally see clear, beautiful skin again!"


"Miracle drug."


"I would love to know if the patch worked for me but the patch just would not stay on (2 days the longest).  Two boxes (8) patches wasted. "


"It made me sick and severely depressed. I was waking up everyday with suicidal thoughts. It was awful"


"I have been sick ever since I have taken this medication 20mg.
Memory loss, jitters, anxiety, panic attacks, cold chills....this has been a complete nightmare.   After reading the reviews above maybe I can get some help - Every doctor I have been to kept saying maybe it's depression...what are you depressed about?  I am not DEPRESSED for crying out loud.   This is another failed medication that's causing folks to become sick.   I have been carted off the road twice from this medication because of anxiety from this pills.   My life has been a living HELL."


"I have been Bi-Polar since I was fifteen. I have struggled with my life, sense of who I am, losing great jobs, ruining relationships and never knowing when I would lose control was the worst part. I'm now on 80 mg of Geodon for 6 months. For the first two weeks waking up was hard and I felt groggy but you can get through it if you give it a chance. This medication has changed my entire life. I've even lost weight. I'm living now. I just hope this can help someone because I never believed any medicine would work. I have been on all A-Z. I only wish I had found Geodon sooner. "


"My child has been on this almost a week and it has made her worse in school and hyper, I am looking forward to seeing the Doctor this week, the dose was cut in half after being on it 1 day and no change in behaviour, still not able to focus and refuses all school work and became more defiant."


"At first Metropolol seemed to work. Blood pressure was down, heart rate 55 beats per min. The longer I took the drug, the more side effects. at two months, my feet and legs developed tingling and numbness. Then, my fingers and hands developed the tingling. At three months of taking the drug, swallowing became very difficult. Food would get stuck in my throat and I would not be able to talk or dislodge food. Then, the insomnia started. I would wake at about 2 am and not be able to go back to sleep for several hours. Always tired, then would want to eat. I gained 20 pounds in a couple of months. When I would wake in the night because my arms would be asleep, that was the last straw. I stopped taking the drug and got a different prescription."


"I have now been on Contrave for 3 weeks and i am taking 3 pills a day now. I am down 18 pounds w/ only one side affect. Dry lips. I have cut out drinking soda and eating a healthy 1200 calorie intake each day. I do cheat every Saturday one meal. I only get an upset stomach/bloated feeling when i eat something heavy. I received my scale and started my weigh ins. Looking fwd to sticking w/ this!! Start weight is 207 i am now at 189! i work in an office so i dont always get exercise all day long."


"I bought the Monistat 3 Day treatment cream, thinking I would get rid of my infection quicker, didn’t want to drag the treatment out for 7 days. BIG MISTAKE. Night #2, and the medicine all leaked out and is causing intense burning and itching at the entrance of my vagina. I knew the first dose didn’t help, but I wasn’t expecting the 2nd dose to make things worse. I have a bad yeast infection, but this “medication” is making it much worse. I have been crying and I am extremely nervous and uncomfortable. I will never purchase a Monistat name brand product again. EVER."


"I'm 31. I've been having extremely heavy periods for about 4 years, ever since I had my Implanon removed. I have been literally going through 50 super plus tampons in a single day. I cant work when its like that. I started Lysteda two cycles ago and although its helped lower the bleeding tremendously, they have also discovered I'm no longer ovulating. Although the medicine has worked wonders, I have gone ahead and opted for the hysterectomy as the dr says its the only thing that will fix it. So, this is my last extremely painful cycle to deal with! I definitely reccomend the medication for anyone with heavy bleeding that interferes with their life the way it has mine."


"I am on My 3 month with Contrave. I was first skeptical but after noticing the cravings I had slowly went away I started walking about 1.5 miles during the times i would sit and watch TV. Now that I am on the 4 a day dose I have lost a total of 30 pounds in less than 3 months. Even my Doctor was surprised when I returned for my check up. I can say that it has help me and I will continue to walk and use it until I reach m goal. So for anyone who has doubts just try it. For me it is a clear way to achieve my goal."


"I've been taking 10mg for 4 days now (today will be day 5) and I'm wondering if I can make it a full week like my doctor wants me to. The side effects have been horrible for me. I've been walking around like a nauseous zombie since day 1. Then there's the dizziness and headache that goes along with it. The only benefit I've experienced so far is weight loss, but that's not at all why I started taking this medication. Instead of the anxiety and depression I would normally feel, I feel no emotions. "


"Really is a wonder drug. It almost got rid of all my seizures but they are back again due to a trigger. It kept them away for 3 months, which is a miracle for me. I would get seizures every day for months. It was miserable. Plus this stuff hasn't given me awful side effects like many other anti-convulsant medicines."


"About a year ago, I developed a white patch close to my mouth (vitiligo) about 1 cm in diameter. I ignored it for a few months hoping that it would go away, but when then I went on holiday to the beach and the strong sun made it bigger and more evident. Moreover, three additional spots appeared on my chin. When I got back I went to dermatologist who said it was vitiligo and prescribed protopic 0.1 (tacrolimus) and within a month the first large spot had gone. I still have the little spots on my chin, but they are getting smaller (it has been 3 months now, but I am still hopeful).
If you have vitiligo on your face and it's not widespread it may work for you too, but do consult a doctor, since the drug is not officially recognised as a cure for vitiligo"


"I love this product! I am in my upper 30s and have been dealing with acne off and on for years.  I almost gave up on having clear skin until I started this Epiduo.  Miracle worker!"


"I started Saxenda 4 days ago.  On the first day, I developed significant nausea and thought that there was no way that I could continue with it, especially given that I am currently only starting with the lowest dose.  Then, I thought about trying Gravol but did not like the idea of having to take another drug several times a day along with the Saxenda.  So I went to Walmart and purchased some Ginger capsules (sold beside the regular gravol).  What a huge difference taking Ginger everyday has made!  I take one Ginger capsule with every meal and then again at bedtime.  The ginger has completely taken  away my nausea!  Now I am confident that I will be able to continue with the Saxenda.  So far, my appetite is way down!!"


"I started trimethoprim just over a week ago and at first I felt sick and headachy so I made sure I had the tablets with food and it was fine. I noticed a huge difference in my skin in only just over a week and I thought this drug was working wonders after trying EVERYTHING else(this Was my last resort before Accutane) sadly I broke out in an awful red skin rash 2 days ago which has gotten worse and worse, even though I am no longer taking the tablet. It's a shame because it was working wonders for me! I would have definitely continued had I not got a reaction to it."
