"Androderm HAD given me back a reasonable level of energy, upped my mood and allowed me to function sexually again.  Unfortunately, with the changes to the product my insurance company no longer has it on its formulary as a Preferred medicine and the cost is about $1500.00 a year (co-pay's).  I am looking for an alternative that still allows me the benefits of a patch, without the outrageous price. Good product but I can't afford it!"


"I was diagnosed by a sleep specialist a month ago with narcolepsy. I started with 150mg dose but saw no improvement with wakefulness or ability to sleep, which was my main concern. After discussion I was put onto a 250mg dose which as of yet still hasn't anything. "


"After years on different pain medicies, I find this to be average at best so far. It seems to be another attempt to get doctors to stop prescribing Oxys, hydro, and other pain medicines that actually work. "


"I've had my skyla inserted for about 2 months already. It is very affective when it comes to preventing pregnancy. When I first got it inserted it was a bit painful, I was bleeding for 2 weeks straight and the cramps were horrible ! When I start my period I don't stop bleeding for 2-3 weeks (very light bleeding) and then my period comes back in less than a week. Overall skyla is very affective and I don't regret getting it inserted."


"I have been on Gleevec for a year now. I started with 400mg but could not tolerate it so dropped to 300mg. I am in remission but nausea has become a problem. Taking antinausea meds but still nauseated most of the day. Lorazepam helps but wish I felt better without all of this. Glad to be alive though."


"I took Plan B twice past half a year. Condom broke first time and then condom slipped, I am within a weight now and I took pills within 12 hour. Both times my period came 7 days late. First time I had terrible cramps I believe I made them worse by worrying and panicking. Just relax, everyone, it will work! Second time, my period was just delayed, no cramps. Which means even the same body reacts differently to this medicine. Rest well, take care of yourself, eat well and your period will come."


"I have had the Mirena in for almost five years - this has been the best for quality of life. I used to be very unwell with endometriosis for many years - now I don't even get a period. I am 25 and without children. I have had some slight side effects of slight weight gain and loss of libido - however these I keep in check with exercise and an understanding partner. Worked for me - hope it can for you."


"I have noticed a decrease in BPD symptoms just days after taking this medication (25mg) - the reason why I gave it an 8 is because I can only take it at bedtime since it makes me very sleepy!"


"Excellent. Love it. Thank you Tadalafil."


"Still not sure. It definitely works."


"I love it. I'm in a clinical research study for Fibromyalgia in minors and after about four months of getting what I think was the placebo, I've received the actual medicine. It's worked. I know it has. I've been taking it for about four weeks now, and in that time, I've had two or three flare-ups, and minimum amount of migraines.

I'm about to play and run around with my 15 month old nephew. And I can hold him and put him down, then pick him back up and it doesn't bother me all too much. I can't even remember the last time I've had to take bed rest because of doing too much.

Overall, it took about 3-4 days to kick in. I'm constantly hot and sweating, but that's nothing compared to always being in pain."


"I heard about this treatment from a nurse at the local CVS Pharamacy. I went online and looked up the research done. I've been on it for around 3 months now and it works. I ran out at one point and didn't think much of it and my pain came back. I suggest you try it, it really does help. I use it along with Pure Malic Acid and the two things together gave me my life back."


"Caused sweating, headache."


"I am 63 years old.  Feel as if I have lost out on many years of living. Always had mental health issues.  I managed to work for twenty-five years, off and on.  Never was able to articulate my physical and emotional well being very well to a doctor.  I was just handed an antidepressant and a sleeping pill. I gave up trying to find an answer to my severe fatigue, insomnia and deep depressions. I would beat myself up, since there has never been any reason, I could pin point as to why I suffered so much.  I feel I have slept my life away. Now I am finally HOPEFUL. On low dose dex for one week. I slept a full 8 hours and have a positive feeling of a wonderful 25 years to come!  Thanks for all the comments, which have given me a renewed strength!"


"My daughter started taking Focalin XR 15mg in the morning and 10mg in the afternoon. This medicine does not seem to be helping at all and her behavior is worse than ever to the point that we cannot handle her and she almost had to be hospitalized for the second time within a 2 week span."


"Caused dizziness and nausea initially. Did lose some weight but worried about the side effects so stopped."


"I take it 3 or 4 times a week and it works well. Full night's sleep. A little drowsy when I wake up but it passes after my morning coffee. I love it."


"This stuff is garbage. If you have real pain,  you might as well take aspirin instead of this.  This stuff probably works great for those other nerve pain ailments like fibromyalgia and the like but don't expected it to do anything for other types of chronic pain."


"I've never had acne as a teen, my skin was usually oily but nothing a little oil control toner couldn't fix . I had pretty clear skin. I'm 25 yr old and have had my first baby and that's when it started I could not believe how I broke out with severe acne. I tried a lot of over the counter acne washes but nothing worked. I went to a dermatologist who prescribed me 2 pill medication and acne night gel. IT DIDN'T WORK. I went to family physician and she prescribed me Epiduo thank God. It worked right away after a week of using it only at night after washing my face with Cetaphil. I've had clear skin a little burning after a week and peeling but it sure was worth it I LOVE this stuff. Acne free. Thank you."


"I'm 18 years old and was put on Topamax for headaches at 16. In the beginning, I was put on 2 x 25mg per day, then increased to 2 x 25mg in the morning, and 2 x 25 mgs at night. After reading everyone's reviews I think I was put on way too much. I weighed about 125 and I got down to 108! I thought I looked great although many people said I looked too skinny. The con is that it made me feel very slow and I couldn't concentrate well. As I started to ween myself off of it, the headaches went away. I now weigh 135 and gained about 30 lbs since being off of it. I am considering going back on to lose weight."


"My doctor switched me from Asacol (which was working very well) to Lialda and the results were horrible.  When I started having bad flare ups my gastroenterologist had no clue what do do.  She put me on Remicade over 16 months with no results and I was miserable.  When I suggested that perhaps it was the Lialda that was causing the problems she stated that that was "not likely".  Well, after about two years of misery and being back on steroids, I switched doctors - a guy who came highly recommended. After a heart to heart consultation with him, he stated he had some patients who did not do well with Lialda and decided to take me off that medication immediately. Within three weeks I was off steroids, back to using Asacol and life is now okay."


"I have had no bad side affects with this pill. I take it in conjunction with spirolactone and metformin for PCOS. The combination has helped in regulating my periods and reducing hair growth on my chin are. If I miss a few days and have to double up on pills my body definitely can feel the overload of hormones. My periods are very light and for about 2-3 days which my doctor said happens with this pill. My sex drive is definitely heighten with this birth control! To avoid a delay in starting a new pack with mailing/ordering  delays. I asked my doctor to receive more packs at once. It's avoided issues with break through bleeding and original PCOS symptoms from getting out of control!"


"Started taking Brintellix 13 days ago and noticed an immediate difference. It helped with my GAD and depression. I had slight nausea after taking it on an empty stomach so ate a bite of something before taking it until my body got used to it. I've tried EVERYTHING and this is the only medication that did not cause severe side effects. Very happy and the results are incredible. I can smile again! ☺"


"Since starting on Nuvigil, I have yet to take my afternoon nap. I take Nuvigil each afternoon around 12:30 which will last until 9 pm, right when I'm about to hit the bed. Works like a magic. But I still need something to give me extra boost. However, I feel 90% recovery. It also helps with concentration but not much. Does make you feel good."


"I've never taken birth control before because I've never been sexually active (and I'm still not). I started this a few months before my wedding, and it seemed totally fine at first. I read a ton of reviews that warned of major mood swings and irritability, but I never experienced that. I also read a ton of reviews that praised this pill for helping with flawless skin, but that is NOT the case for me. While my chest did grow and I didn't have mood swings or weight gain, I experienced some of the most painful and humiliating acne of my life while taking it. My forehead never breaks out, but for 3 constant months it's been a war zone, as are my cheeks, chin, and brow area. I'm switching to Yaz. Fingers crossed I clear up before the big day."


"GREAT ADHD medication. ask for financial help. they give 12 month card that takes half off the cost of Vyvanse... take as directed."


"Avastin has stopped progression of my colon cancer.
Cutting off the fresh blood supply and nutrition that feeds the main tumor."


"Have been given several Restless leg products and have had my best releif with Tramadol, I take 50mg at 2 hours before bed and I have no restless legs. I wish someone would have prescribed this to me years ago."


"I love this. No retrograde ejaculation and my flow is much improved.  I have to take it twice daily, though to get the desired results.  No side effects noticed until I went on a weight loss regimen and my blood pressure dropped significantly, but once medications were reduced, the dizziness on standing up too quickly disappeared.  Highly recommended!"


"I have been on this shot for almost 3 years now, starting out just to help with abdominal pain and now for use of birth control. I love that I have never had a period let alone spotting, no cramps, nothing. Just recently I have been having terrible headaches that make me nauseous. I have gained at least 15 lbs, which is very depressing, and sex drive...well that's long gone(which seems very odd for a 20 year old). Reading the reviews helped a lot, thank you!"


"The first Implanon worked phenomenal. No periods, but, I did gain a lot of weight over the 3 years of having this birth control. I've had a high increase in appetite, and lost energy. But, I decided to get another one. I've now had the second one since September 28th, 2013. And now I've been bleeding for 19 days as of today. I've lost about 15 pounds in the last 3 weeks of the bleeding. And my appetite is still increasing. I have a little more energy, but, not as much as I did before ever getting the Implanon. I always have noticed that I'm kinda "dry" down there, as before it was very lubricated... I've also noticed that I've had a lot of mood swings, and they're more often than not. "


"I have used Apidra for over 15 years. It allows me the freedom  to eat  at restaurants and family gatherings easily and comfortably."


"I have been using Implanon since March of 2008 after the birth of my son. I had the first one the full 3 years and had it removed and replaced with a new one. The first one I had no issues. I still had regular cycles and minimal weight gain. The second one I have had close to a year now and having completely random cycles lasting up to 17 days! I have no libido, have been placed on antidepressant from my primary physician and gained over 35 pounds! I have been referred back to my obgyn to have it removed. Everyone is different, but its wierd the first one was fine and now this one is horrible. "


"Wasn't on this drug for very long, only about 2 months. I felt mildly stimulated, but got no great effects from it. No side effects either however.

The reason for the high rating is that it destroys all pleasure of smoking for me, to the point that I don't want to smoke due to the fact I won't feel it.

Also the only popular antidepressant I know that doesn't affect sex drive in a negative way like SSRIs."


"I have been on Percocet 10 for a month and have had more good days than I was having on Lortab.  I think Percocet is wonderful.  I have had no side effects at all."


"My insurance company just switched me from Ortho-tricyclen to Tri-Previfem. This is my second month on it. My period usually lasted for 3 days also. This time it's been 5 days. And in the past 2 days, I've had a lot of bleeding. I've gone through over 10 pads already today. I will stop taking it and try to go back to Ortho Tri-Cyclen. I'd been on Ortho Tri-cyclen for many years and never had any side-effect."


"It is fantastic that it wears off so quickly - no residual tiredness in the morning like other sleep-aids.  I do wish it lasted longer.  It really only keeps you asleep for ~4 hours.  I guess that's what Ambien CR is for."


"I love this. I had a really bad strep throat and I tried everything I can so one day after I came back from a Cody Simpson signing (I couldn't miss that!) me and my mom walked to a doctor and he suggested Biaxin and after 1 dose I was feeling so much better it's been 4 days and I'm all better and I haven't had any side effects! The only sad thing that happens while I was taking this was a day after I got it I had to miss a Justin Bieber concert with my friend (she went) because my parents didn't know if the side effects would affect me."


"I (VERY reluctantly) began 10 mg of Celexa (for anxiety) for a week, then 20 mg for the next week, and now I've been on 30 mg for a few weeks now. I had anxiety about taking  the anti-anxiety meds!  Honestly, the first week was AWFUL. My anxiety was heightened, I couldn't sleep, bad headaches and felt like something was tickling my brain. By the second week, those side effects were gone.

My anxiety was resulting in constant physical dizziness, floor "bouncing" (feeling like you're on  a boat/elevator when you're just walking around), racing thoughts, sleeping just to avoid it all, etc. My dizziness is mostly disappeared, and usually the floor feels like it should. PLEASE DON'T BE SCARED! It can be a lifesaver."


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


Conjugated estrogens / medroxyprogesterone

"I am a 56 year old women in post-menopause. I have been suffering with hot flashes for 16 years and I finally decided that I cannot do this anymore.  I started Prempro two weeks ago and I am officially hot flash free and happier then I have been in years!  I cannot believe that it took me this many years to do this.  I was always scared of the risks involved.  I am so happy I made this decision because my life is now amazing.  I have not experienced and side affects at this point.  Hopefully that will continue."


"Had Pneumonia for 10 days, took Augmentin 875/125, felt better in 5 days. The only side effects were nausea and diarrhea for 2 days."


"Reading everyone's postings about the Phentermine is very exciting! I wish everyone nothing but the best on your weight goals. I have been on the Phentermine since 6/4/16. I will say though this is my actual 2nd time of being on it. The first time I was on it I did have not much success on weight loss. I didn't loose as much as I wanted too. I was very discouraged. This time I am more determined then ever to reach my weight goal. I was 208lbs at the end of May. I am about 5'4 and considered being obese. Since I have started taking it I have lost 8 pounds. I am very excited to see where this is going to take me. I do have have littlest side effects dry mouth. High intensity workouts is working for me. Exercise is the results of your goal!!!!"


"I've had BV problems for years. Always treated it with Flagyl. I'm so inpatient that the first day I take one 500mg every 6h to speed up the process so the smell is gone in less than 2 days but I do NOT recommend taking more that 1 tablet every 12h because In fact I believe that's what gives all the sides effects because side effects slow down once I go to regular dose. Also for people with recurrent BV symptoms look into CV infections as well because some doctors don't know about it since it's not as common and some people get treated for BV for years when they really have CV cause the symptoms are very close. The smell etc.. Feel better ladies ! Much love and support"


"I usually get cold sores twice a year, but this year they've appeared way more. I usually have Valtrex and they dissapeared in hours, but this time I had run out of them. So when i first noticed a single blister between my lip and chin I run to the pharmacy to buy Abreva. I applied it as indicated and sadly it didn't work for me at all. It might work for some as medicines are like that, but for me it didn't do anything at all."


"This will be my 4th month using Kariva. The only thing it helped with (besides preventing pregnancy) was making my period shorter. I went from 8 long, heavy and painful days to only 2 very light, no pain days! Other than that, I've been miserable . It hasn't helped with acne at all, it actually started to cause body acne which I've never had. Also, a huge issue that I have, I'm VERY dry down there; causing it to hurt during my period when I want to insert a tampon AND painful sex. I can't even begin to describe how painful it is, it's like my insides are being torn apart & the pain doesnt go away for hours after trying to have sex. Its taking a huge toll on my relationship. I would not recomennd this pill. I will have to talk to my dr soon."


"For anyone who is hesitant about trying an anti depressant like Prozac because maybe you have too much pride, or you're embarassed that you have to take a pill everyday to feel like yourself. I was suffering with anxiety and depression for about 5 years after a really traumatic car accident and refused to try anything. I'm in my early 20s I thought I was too young. I only wished I would've listened to my body and mind sooner. Prozac changed my life. I only take 20mg and it is incredible. I feel happy.. I feel calm. I feel like my old self. I haven't had any anxiety in months.. I'm not moody. It's like that big dark cloud is finally gone, don't be afraid to try this anti depressant. Im a brand new Me, because of it. I feel invincible"


"My doctor put me on Benicar HCT about 7 years ago. I was the type of person who hated to take medication so I didn't take it consistently. I think that is why I finally realized every time I would take a pill I would wake up during the night with severe leg cramps. I told my doctor about it and he changed my prescription to plain Benicar. After that I take it regularly and have no side effects or problems at all and it keeps my blood pressure level at 110/70."


"If anybody has input that would be great.. I took klonopin for anxiety disorder. It made me have no appetite, stay wide awake at night, feel superior to anybody else. Honestly felt fantastic and I was losing weight. A week or so later I broke down in major tears, had to leave work. On the way home had a bad panic attack. Went to the hospital where I was prescribed ativan. I've never had an issue since and I only take it when I feel anxious. It was the weirdest experience ever and the doctors can't explain it."


"I started on Contrave April 1st doing great. Started out the day with coffee with ALOT of creamer...craving completely stopped no more coffee for me and no sugar cravings. Changed a lot of my eating habits and walk at least 1-2 miles a day. Third week in and I've lost 8lbs!!!! Increased to 2 pills in the morning but my blood pressure began to elavate so had to discontinue the meds. Dr said I can just continue on lower dose."


"After 10 day dosage I developed severe diarrhea with bloody stools.(C-diff) Went to ER and was diagnosed with c-diff. Have been I'll ever since and am now lactose intolerant.  Took metronidazole for 14 days but still have symptoms .  Horrible experience."


"Have been on it 2 years now.  It has maintained blood pressure 130's over 80's. "

"I started taking birth control when I was 15 because my periods were extremely heavy and my cramps were unbearable. Over the 2 years that I've taken it, I can say that my periods have lightened up tremendously, my cramps have lessened, and even my face has cleared up. However, emotionally speaking - I constantly felt irritable, was always hungry, and got sad over nearly everything. It was like being on my period every day, only without the actual period part. I've gained over 40 pounds, which I can't contribute all to the pill of course, but I can say that it has definitely played a part in it. I can't say it will affect everyone as it did me, but I am currently switching to a lower dosage in hopes that I can get back to myself."


"I'm an engineer, now in my 60s, and I have worked outside all my life. I have red hair and fair complexion you can imagine the skin damage I have accumulated in my lifetime. I had used the Efudex 5% cream years ago and had good results. Three months ago I began seeing a dermatologist that recommended the "new" technology "BLUE LIGHT TREATMENTS". This did NOT work for me gave me a very mild "sunburn" with no apparent effect on the former skin damage and it was very expensive even after insurance coverage! I requested my treatment be changed to the proven Efudex my doctor insisted I stay with the "blue light", that my skin was "in very good condition" and that I only needed "maintenance".
As you may guess I have changed physicians and now I am being treated with Efudex again. My skin is now in full reaction after only two weeks treatment with Efudex. Yes with Efudex your skin is unsightly and uncomfortable from week 2 through to week 4; but, this is a small price to be cancer free. Efudex works! "


"I was taking Adderall for nearly 3 years, when my insurance would no longer cover it. I started taking it when I enrolled into college. It helped me achieve the honor roll every term I was taking it. I felt more confident and focused, whereas in high school I was unable to do such tasks and received D's and F's. I wish that I was taking Adderall again. I've taken Ritalin, Methaline and now Dexedrine which doesn't compare to Adderall. I have been taking this for 6 months now, and I am no longer on the honor roll. No matter how hard I try, my focus isn't where I need it to be. On the other hand, I don't have the side effects of severe irritability or quick anger that Adderall tends to cause."


"I had very bad anxiety and was prescribed Prozac. I found the initial side effects very difficult and didn't feel quite right for some time and was constantly doubting the medicine. However, after eight weeks of taking it, the side effects have subsided and I feel back to my usual self. What a relief. If you are finding it tough, hang on in there, I'm sure you will get there."


"I've only been on this for about a month and a half and the first month wasn't bad at all, my period was light and the only side effect was mild nausea. The second month however, total disaster. I'm not sure if it's me - because I get really motion sick very easily, but I'm pretty sure this pill is giving me really bad vertigo, I'm so light- headed, I'm constantly on the verge of puking, all I want to do is lay still and not move a muscle. Maybe I'm just evening out the hormones or something but if this is how it's always going to be I'm not sure I can handle it any longer. I'm finishing the second pack but I think after that I'm moving on."


"Worst Birth control ever! My first month 2 months were great no period mild bloating a little weight gain and my boobs went up an entire cup size(No issues with this)...
Although I did start my period halfway through the second pack and it lasted for 28 days! And my symptoms were terrible I was so depressed and bloated the first 3 weeks of bleeding and then the last week I became extremely light headed and vomited at the smell of anything. I went in to see my Dr wanting to get answered and he had me stop taking it right away explaining due to the bleeding my iron had dropped dangerously low! And it was all thanks to this birth control. I have tried plenty of birth controls in the past and never had anything like this happen!"


"The medicine helped with my depression at first, but eventually stopped working and needed to be increased. I completely lost all of my sex drive and that was very disappointing, as that leads to frustration which leads to depression. I stopped taking Prozac and still have no sex drive which is apparently very common. I would not recommend this medicine."


"Had the implant for 40 days then had it removed. The whole 40 days I had continuous bleading and spontaneous cramping. It cost me $170 with insurance for removal and the doctor had a nasty attitude because I disregarded his suggestion to leave it in..he said it can take up to 8 months for my body to adapt and stop bleeding..I am 30 and have a husband I absolutely cannot wait that long and I don't know how healthy bleeding for 8 months really is"


"I have a newborn baby and have been having issue with insomnia even when he is sleeping.  Aleve worked wonders was still able to wake up when he cried but am able to fall right back asleep.  Also the pain in my legs is gone too.  Thanks aleve"


"I've had the mirena in for 4 months. The first month I bled for about 2 weeks, but my doctor warned me about bleeding/spotting so I didn't think anything about it. Next month, bled for about 10 days,(normal cycle is 5 days) and the 3rd month, I bled for the entire month and 2 weeks into the next month. I went to the bathroom to urinate. I go to wipe myself and the mirena comes completely out. It was wrapped in huge blood clots, and I had an alarming amount of blood come out. I'm beyond frustrated.  Bleeding for 6 weeks has not been fun at all, and now it comes out "


"awesome"


"Have used Accutane and/or Claravis for a few cycles and experienced incredible results. Skin started clearing up within 4 weeks. By the 7th week, skin was completely clear from any redness, or new breakouts.

I've tried everything available over-the-counter and other prescription antibiotics for my type of acne and although they would work for a while, the acne kept coming back.

Accutane is the only thing that has ever worked for me."


"Had it.  Platelets were 9 and took WinRho which kicked up platelets into 100's. But few days later went down again. Then went to Ritixan which kicked up platelets, then down within matter of weeks. Splenectomy was last option but nothing.  Still stuck with falling platelets and medical bills$$$."


"I was switched from Marvelon to Apri about a year ago.  I lost 15 pounds after switching and after about one month of breaking out, I was back to clear skin again.  However, I have noticed a dramatic increase in mood swings with Apri.  I constantly find myself crying over the most insignificant things and am unable to control my emotions.  I'm worried it is starting to affect my relationship with my boyfriend and with others. I'm thinking of seeing a doctor and perhaps switching to a different pill...seems like its going to be difficult to find one that keeps my weight, skin, and emotions in check!"


"I received the implant August of 2013 and I didn't have any problems with it for the first few months then my periods were super long (2-3 weeks some times) and I started gaining weight 6 months later after no diet change or change in exercise I am now 30 pounds heavier and been insecure about my body which is really messing up my sex life. I will try and wait until the year is up but if I continue gaining all this unexplained weight I'm going back on the pill."


"This has helped me endlessly. I started taking it about 5 months ago, The first thing that it helps with is sleep, I'll fall asleep so easily & not wake, One thing I noticed however was the vivid dreaming, not too bad if you aren't freaked out by bad or plain weird dreams. For the first few days/weeks it was harder to get up in the morning but having caffeine really helps. I would always feel low before this medication, sad, hopeless and have no energy. With it I'm more confident, make more effort with other people, not afraid of my own company and anything that happens I can see logically. One of my problems was illogical thinking and this has reduced that by 90%. You'll have to be more careful with alcohol on this medication."


"My twin sister was prescribed epiduo over a year ago and it helped her acne so much, and although it's not recommended, I too used her prescription when I broke out. -We're twins, same face and same acne- and every time I used it for my random spurs of acne, it helped immediately. I even broke out bad on my chest and it wiped it out completely in a couple weeks. Now it's a year later and I have really bad forehead acne, so I just bought some epiduo today. No doubt I have hope it will work. This stuff is amazing."


"I have been off skyla for almost 6 months, and my periods are just starting to regulate again so I know this is a sign of my body starting to regulate again also from not being on this birth control anymore. I am also losing weight since gaining almost 15 lbs in the 3 months I was on skyla, and my acne is under control again and I am no longer depressed. I am birth control free and feeling 100%. This birth control did not work for me but it doesn't mean it can't work for you. Everyone is different!"


"I was too proud at first to try a medicine, but I'm so glad I did. It changed my life. My stress and anxiety stay managable and no major side effects except minor fatigue."


"I had great experience over 5 years! No extreme side effects, no weight gain, no acne, just AWESOME! "


"I've used Concerta for 5 years and loved the improvements at first - I became successful, in perfect shape, and did most things extraordinarily well.  My life did a complete 180.  Once unfocused, unmotivated and disorganized, I transformed to near perfection in everything I did.  The price you pay for perfection - I've lost my friends and my social abilities.  I used to be fun and full of life!  You begin to seclude yourself because you are too focused, too mechanical.  You lose weight because your appetite goes away and you are indeed anorexic.  I couldn't sleep, had extreme anxiety, headaches, dry mouth, highs and lows....I can go on and on.  It changes you and you may think it's great but ultimately you lose yourself in the process."


"I have been on Orsythia for a year now and I have to say that I have never been happier with another birth control and I've one other before starting Orsythia. I did NOT gain any weight, lose my sex drive, get acne, have mood swings, PMS symptoms or most importantly get pregnant on this birth control. I am so happy with my rx and I would highly recommend. I understand that everyone is different and experience drugs differently but you need to wait the 3-4 months before getting used to a daily drug in your body that changes your natural hormones. I love it and I see that it is very effective for me."


"I was in a near fatal car accident when I was 18, I was on Morphine for 6 months. After 30 years it is catching up to me. I am in some pain now most of the time. With Oxycodone I am able to make it through the day, and work. Caution during use, if used for over 90 days, dependency could occur easily. Please be aware of this."


"This is my fifth try at finding something that helps me move relatively pain free through out the day.  I have so far experienced no side effects."


"Almost immediate relief, long lasting."


"The MOST ridiculous packaging I have ever had to deal with. I finally got a pair of scissors and cut them out one at a time, the put them in container. A total pain."


"I've been all over the place in my head. It calms me down some but not a lot. Plus I've been gaining weight, I've been sick, headaches, itchy, and so much other stuff."


"This medication does not work for my anxiety on it's own. My Doctor had me on Klonopin along with Buspar and I was doing great. Well since the government added their new laws he took the Klonopin away from me so my anxiety is back full force and he won't give me anything else to treat my anxiety. I think that is wrong."


"Had first shots in both knees 5 days ago.  Almost instant relief.  Not 100% but a very noticeable difference just leaving the drs. Office.  Also have a recent meniscus tear that the Dr. wanted to wait on and see if these shots helped.  Staying hydrated before the injections helped the shot pain.  A little cold spray and it was almost painless.  The only reason I didn't give it a ten is because I don't know the long term effects."


"I've been on the depo shot for a month and a half and I have not quit bleeding since I got the shot sex life has been ruined I'm calling the gyno tomorrow."


"I'm sixteen, and I got this put in May 14th, 2014. For about a week and a half I had no bleeding, but since May 26th I've had constant bleeding. My friend who is on Nexplanon said she bled for two months when she first got it and then had one regular period after that. I have a little more acne than usual but I can deal with it. I haven't gained any weight, in fact I've lost weight. My long period is really putting a damper on my sex life. Also it's summer time and obviously I'm going to want to swim a lot, yet I have to worry about a period as I do so. Overall, the only side affect that's really getting to me is my period, which is mostly heavy right now. I'm hoping it will go away soon because I'm sick of it."


"Its been nearly 2 years on various doses of Pristiq, and 100mg each day works best for my mind. Thankfully.
I have some side effects that annoy me a lot, like no appetite, nausea, gut problems & worst of all- killed my libido this whole time. It simply ceased to exist.
I continue to take my meds. I'm a widow raising a 12 year old for last 7 years after my Husband died suddenly very suddenly of swine flu. So much has been lost from that day. Inevitably it took its toll on me.
Not a complete person anymore. Its like I feel asexual...
But I am alive and kicking"


"Terrible. Felt like I had the worst case of the flu- couldn't move from the waist down, headache, lack of appetite. "


"Bio: 24 year old, male. Second time that I am prescribed  the medicine Prednisone during a flare-up. I started out with a 30mg dosage for 1 week and lower 5mg every 5 days after. For the second time, Prednisone has made me feel way better after approx. a week.
It's a good thing it has such a positive effect on my flare-up. I would rate 10, but I will not. The medicine does give me some side-effects, like irritation/moody and I do feel very exhausted in the morning after normal night of sleep.
However, I am glad it does it work really fast instead of having to walk around a long period with a bad flare-up.
If you get the opportunity of taking Prednsione, try it out, but keep in mind that it could have you feeling a bit exhausted/nauseous."


"It's been 2 years, I spotted for almost six weeks straight on the first pack until I had the first period. I gained about 10 lbs but most of it was in my chest. I'm just now getting back to my "normal" weight, which also means my breasts are doing back down. Periods are really light, the last two packs nonexistent. If I'm not careful to take them at around the same time, I will get cramping and sometimes spotting. If the spotting doesn't stop within a few days,  I stop taking the pack for a week and have a period and then start the pack again. Overall I love it, though I have noticed increased night sweats but don't know for sure it's related."


"I was suffering from very bad constipation, after being on an opioid for pain relief. After taking bisacodyl I started having results within 30 minutes, and had satisfactory relief in about 3 hours.  It worked tremendously well!"


"42 year old taking anti-depressant that severely affects my ability to get an erection.  I've been taking the 5mg 1 a day Cialis for a couple of years now.  Performance is good but sometimes I would lose my erection after changing positions many times, not sure why.  For all medicines I am "Mr. Side Effect" and this one gives me pretty regular headaches and heartburn.  I plan on trying something else in the near future."


"Taking 20mg of Ritalin three times per day for my ADHD symptoms was less effective than taking regular caffeine."


"Im on my 10th pack of Sprintec and its great! I was initially really scared because I had read reviews about different birth controls on google and didnt know what to expect, but you really have to try it yourself to see. I started it for my acne and the first month on it I was getting used to it so I was sad for a week or two but once i adjusted I have had absolutely zero side effects and it has helped with my acne tremendously. Highly recommend!"


"Well I just started taking Prozac to help me deal with depression and anxiety.  I returned from from a tour in Iraq about three months ago and my symptoms kept getting worse and worse.  I've been taking Prozac for about a week now and I'm already feeling relief from it. It's like all the problems are still there, they just dont get to me like they used to. It's been very helpful so far."


"I started it a month and half ago and I am experiencing really bad headaches and stomach aches, but this I believe is quite normal when you start out on birth control. But one thing is my acne. (Or red spots) I had really good clear skin with an occasional breakout maybe a couple times a month, but nothing bad at all. And now that I'm taking lutera, I've formed these really itchy red spots all over my cheeks and forehead. It feels and looks like cystic acne and I hate it. I'm considering switching."


"I have been on Depo for 7 years now. I love how I don't get my period, but my sex drive has decreased and I have gained about 70 lbs. I also have acne that won't go away no matter what I use. I'm looking to switch my birth control before my next shot is due in 3 months."


"I have just taken the nuvaring out (cannot get hold of doctor until monday) as the first month on it I found my mood changed. Got very angry arguing with my SO and blowing up over very minute things. Thought I'd try for a second month but within 2 days I found myself emotional waking up crying for no reason irritable depressed.  So on my day I will go back to the drawing board with my doctor. Apart from the mods I've had no other symptoms but the are too server for me to deal with."


"Been on Parnate (tranylcypromine) for about 17 years. Like many others felt like a guinea pig when I was first diagnosed. Went through about a dozen different psychiatrists. They all just tried different meds trying to find one that would work. I or anyone else could have done that. One convinced me to have ECT which I did against my better judgement. It was a nightmare of torture! After the first two I lost all sense of time as well as my memory. I had 14 ECT treatments and was nothing more than a zombie! To get it to stop I said I wasn't depressed any more. Finally found a Dr. that used Parnate."


"I've been on Latuda for nine weeks now. My first week was 20mg, second week 40 mg, third week 60mg, fourth week 80 mg, fifth week 90 mg, and sixth week 120 mg.  I feel more upbeat. I don't worry like in the past about my job. I used to think people were saying things behind my back.  I lost a few pounds. I am more focused, kind of like being on adderral.  My dosage is at the sweetspot.  I find I have to take it late before I go to sleep otherwise I will want to go to sleep. I use this in combination with Wellbutrin 300mg XL in the morning with one 450 mg of lithium and two 450 mg of lithium at night with the 120 mg of latuda.  The prescription is expensive if you don't have insurance it is 1000 a month, otherwise with insurance its 75 mo."


"There are many positives such as motivation, and a brief period of content, but there are also many negatives.. rapid heartbeat/chest pains, weight loss, dizziness, dry mouth. When the medicine kicks in, i feel this amazing sense of being content.., no matter what I'm doing at the time i just feel happy, but soon feel an extreme sadness and despair when it wears off, because i wonder why i can't be happy anymore. I also become extremely irritable, anxious, and restless. I continue to take this medication ,because it helps me get things done and focus, but the negative impact is extremely hard on me, and effects my mental and physical health greatly. Most common side effects for me are chest pains, sadness, rapid mood change, headache, and loss"


"Took this 12 hours after thr bf ejaculated in me on day 15 of my cycle...one of my most fertile days.....the day I took it the cramps got so bad I almost vimitted, I got so dizzy and weAK from it.by the next day I was fine. i wouldn't recommend this torture...then four days later my breasts became sore....and i have been getting every pregnancy or pms symptom  since (sore breasts, cramping, upset stomach, nausea, lower backache, headaches)....I am due to start sat 4/30.....I took a prego test and came back negative.....this is the longest pms and worst symptoms I have ever had. I think I would have rather taken my chances."


"Go to medication for nausea Makes you a tiny bit groggy but that side effect goes away.Its been around forever and I mainly use it with Excedrin when I have a migraine to subside the nausea.Only thing that comes near it is zofran and this is over $100 cheaper."


"I've been on Victoza now for just over 2 years. From reading the reviews, I'm one of the lucky ones side-effect wise. In other words, no nausea, increased headaches etc.. I started at .6 and after a month moved up to 1.2 where I have been since that time. I reduced my adjunct Metformin from 1500mg daily to 1000 mg daily. Weight loss has been a nice side effect, especially since it impinges on the illness in the first place. The only issue I have now is that my blood sugar can go low quite easily so will be cutting back the dose to .6 for a test run of a month. Unhealthy high levels of blood sugar are a thing of the past. Hopefully that stays the same at .6."


"I've had depression since my teenage years but never spoke to anyone about it and didn't take anything for it until 2 and a half years ago when I had a bad run of luck with a few big things close together, it all got too much and I took a massive amount of prescription medication to try and end my life, 16 hours later I was woken up by my mum and taken to hospital. The Drs said most people wouldn't of woken up or at least had severe organ damage but I was ok, no damage. That's when I had to speak to Drs, psychs, family and some friends. They put me on lexapro and it worked fairly well for 2 years but when a few bad, stressful situations happened again it failed the test, I'm now trying venlafaxin, not sure yet but hopefully I get better results"


"I have SEVERELY oily skin! I mean I have to blot my face several times a day to literally keep from looking like I rubbed baby oil on my face! I used the medicine as a teen and it worked wonders! Now I'm 25 and my dermatologist says I still have the skin of a 16 yr old (the oil producing cells in your body are supposed to stop working as well as you age, which is the cause of wrinkles, but mine shows ZERO sign of slowing down) anyway, dermatologist put me on Tazorac which is supposed to fix that, worked ok for a few weeks but still super oily! I asked him for this medicine because I remembered it working so well for me! I've only been on it a week and WOW I can already see a difference! And for someone with as much oil as me, I appreciate the drying affect of this."


"Omg! The nausea is unreal! I was sick throughout the entire week of taking this medicine. The nausea never subdued and it got worse at night. I know it is a must but I can't even right now! I'm so ready for it to be over!"


"I've only been on it for a month, but have tried other birth controls before (Loestrin 24, Microgestin Fe, and Fecom Fe). I was off for about a year since those made me get incredibly nauseous all the time.  Over this month on the patch though, I really haven't noticed any nausea or other negative side effects.  Sex drive has decreased, and breast tenderness has occurred over weeks 2 and 3, but nothing too bad.  It's completely different than other birth controls I have been on, and it's been great!  I'm thrilled to see people have been on for 4-5 years and still been happy with it.  I'm definitely continuing on it and hopefully I've found one to keep forever!"


"I seem to have lost my tasting abilities for foods."


"When I was pregnantin 1997 I was told I had hep c. How I got it I am unsure. But I never worried much on having it. Until told after my second child in 2004 that I could pass it to my kids during pregnancy. Scared I ordered test on my two girls ( they are uninfected) and started using the treatment that was avalible at that time. I took six pills a day and shots once a week that made me feel awful. I didn't eat very good for six weeks due treatment. Was hospitalized for being under weight and severe malnourishment. When released I started a new job and lost my insurance. Was told once I quit treatment I wouldn't be able to Start again. Now DEC. 2016  I am on last month of harvoni and it worked. No side effects during treatment."


"I have suffered from narcolepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome and ADHD all my life. The ONLY thing that has allowed me to feel 'normal" enough to participate in my own life again is Vyvanse. Unfortunately, I have recently moved from AZ to CA and due to different laws, I have been unable to fill or receive a new prescription in CA (even with all of my doctors records and recommendations) and I have been severely depressed due to all the old symptoms returning. BUT VYVANSE SAVED MY LIFE AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT."


"Ineffective med that resulted in extreme weight loss and made cognition practically impossible so I did not pass my oral exam before nor was I even able to understand the questions my graduate committee members were asking.  I got off of it at that point then went from a 28" waist back to a 32"."


"Lexapro works! I didn't have any side effects except for small headaches for the first couple of weeks that would show up for 10 seconds, then be gone. I did notice for the first week that I would have carb cravings and I didn't get full as quickly, but I watched what I ate and tried not to give in to any crazy cravings. I have not gained any additional weight. The first day I took the lexapro, it kicked in around 5-6pm and I just got insanely giggly and happy. All of a sudden, it was like a breeze blew past my mind and the little gremlin in my mind that constantly said "I hate everything" was gone. I do notice short term memory is easily forgotten; out of sight, out of mind. I'm sure that's due to relief from anxiety. I am finally happy!"


"Horrible side effects.  I was suddenly filled with aggression and rage after taking it. I was so irritated that I had to tell the doctor to give me something to calm me down before I ripped out my IV.  Not something you want to deal with during a migraine."


"I've been on Aleese for over a year and a half. Side effects hit me hard. (I'm 21 years old) I had perfect skin my entire life (even through puberty) and after I commenced the pill the acne hit me like a ton of bricks. All forms of acne are on my face, and I've been using dermatologist products and services and they said it's a hormonal issue as to why the acne has gotten so horrible. The high androgen actually causes skin to get worse. So when people say birth control doesn't cause acne they are WRONG, cause this birth control DOES CAUSE ACNE. Not only did I get acne, I gained 15 pounds, breasts got larger (only plus side), severe nausea the week before my period, and began suffering depression. It's time to switch to another Birth Control"


"Not worth the risk! The fungus is definitely clearing up, but I've lost my taste so I'm losing weight (the wrong way) because everything I eat or drink is nasty tasting. I get hungry, but eat a few bites and it tastes like mush. I lose my appetite and stop eating. My skin is itchy, and I have a thick, coated tongue that's sensitive and achy with a constant feeling of something stuck in the back of my throat. Now I read that my taste buds may not ever wake up again! That's going to seriously lower my quality of life! If I'd known these side effects before taking Lamisil, I wouldn't have taken the risk! Using a topical twice a day of tea tree oil, Vick's Vapo Rub, or FungiNail for the rest of my life would be worth it to have my taste back!"


"I've been taking Levora for about 6 months. It does it's job- Prevents pregnancy. But I have gained weight, become depressed, and I have a LOT of acne, when I used to have a clear face. On the plus side though, my periods are light, and on time, every month. I also don't experience cramps, when I used to have throughout my entire period. "


"It works well, although I feel depressed and super drowsy when I take too much. And when I don't take the pill, I feel like I can't reach deep sleep even if I was tired. Don't listen to the people taking 3 mg and over. That is way too much. The body produces 0.8 mg of melatonin naturally for your sleeping purpose. I take 1 mg at the max approximately 1 hour and a half before going to bed and keep functioning until I start feeling tired. I stay away from a screen with blue light."


"I have been taking Belviq for 10 days now and have lost 8 lbs. s

So far the only side effect I have noticed is every morning about two hours after the 1st dose, I have to have a bowel movement. Nothing serious just seems like a regular thing. The first five days I noticed no decrease in appetite, then little at a time appetite decreased."


"Otezla worked for me. (Please read entire review). A little bit of a stomach ache for about a week for about an hour after each of the twice daily doses.
I was given the drug for several months due to my financial state.  First the free Otezla stopped at 3 months, My psoriasis came back, a little worse than before.  Talked with dermatologist and they got it reinstated, and my skin again slowly cleared.  But again, like before the gratis product ended at 3 months.  My skin is now worse than ever.  I guess I am looking for an answer.  Does taking this product with success and then stopping trigger a worse condition than when it was started. I really appreciate the company giving the product as paying $1233.00 p/mo as it was  is impossible for me to afford it"


"Dr gave this drug to my 8 yr old autistic son to help him with his fear of people. Within one month of taking it daily he went from severely underweight to severely obese without having eaten more! 3 years later he is still chunky even though he stopped taking it after one month! It ruined his metabolism and made his extremely irritated when he was on it. Will never recommend this drug unles you like weight gain."


"I didn't think I would ever quit smoking until Chantix come along. I was skeptical at first and about to give up trying. I stuck to the regimen and finally quit after 9 weeks. I cannot believe I ever wanted to smoke before. I feel so great getting up each day knowing I am no longer a smoker. Thanks Chantix."


"I started taking Stiolto Respimat in Jan. 2016.  For the first few months everything was great.  Then I started to have memory issues and confusion.  I know this contains an anticholinergic.  Two years ago I stopped taking medication for an over-active bladder that contained an anticholinergic because of the very same reason.  A few months later my memory was back to normal (normal for me!) and the confusion totally went away.  I was hoping that since this is an inhaler and not a pill that I might have better results.  Unfortunately no.    After four months the confusion and forgetfulness became a real problem.  I decided to stop the inhaler this morning and will ask my doctor for an alternative - without an anticholinergic."


"I am currently on my second pack of this pill. I switched because my doctor did not think i was on a high enough dose. Since I have started on this, I am spotting constantly and my acne has flared up. Almost everyday i have massive headaches where I just have to go in my room and sit in the dark. I am spotting constantly. My periods have gotten heavier and last the same amount of days as before. It does it's job of preventing pregnancy though."


"Had experienced ED for awhile due to antidepressants and other anxiety meds, so needed a little extra boost to get my confidence back. Got a free trial of Cialis and it was great! Started out taking 5mg daily. Within about 6 hours of taking the first dose, I suddenly got turned on and wow it really kicked in! Gave me rock hard erections. I felt a bit flushed that first day or two. Then the moment arose and I had sex on it, and wow. I was like an 18 yo again. I didn't have to worry about things not working, I could just focus on enjoying, which was great! It was great because I got rock hard anytime I was turned on. I did notice I felt very flushed and also had bad lower back and leg pain the first week or so. But that went away. I loved it!"


"I was prescribed benzonatate for an upper respiratory infection. I've had a horrible tickle in my throat at night and can't sleep. It has helped my cough but I've noticed it wears off after about 3 hours. Only side effect I've had is mild headache."


"Amazing relief for shoulder inflammation. No noticeable side effects."


"Very helpful, but feel antst at times."


"The first few months I loved it! Then I started bleeding for weeks then it would stop for a few days and come right back. I always have cramps and feel bloated, I have gained 25lbs! Now I have to be double birth controlled."


"Have been on several medications over the years. This being one of them. Was taken off about 9 years ago.  Went to many others over next 6 years. Was put on lialda 2 years ago with worsening symptoms. More pain and distended belly. Went to emergency room for 4 the time in three months. Asked my doctor about putting me back on this. I shouldn't be having this many issues. Its been 2 days on salfasazine cypro, flagyl and zofran. Stomach is half its size. Way less pain and eating chicken and stars soup. Yeah."


"Hi, I'm 28 and had a hysterectomy in August of 2015. I was put on Effexor 75mg in September and my hot flashes went away after taking the first dose.. I have gone some days and missed a dose here and there and have felt the withdraw side effects from doing so. Nausea, headaches, flu like symptoms... Recently I have been getting hot flashes more frequently so I'm thinking of upping my does age to 150mg. Any advice????"


"Fractured and wedged connecting vertebrae put on the 5's for many years. Now with another injury to the back moved to the 7s the first time taking the 5S made me drowsy for a couple of weeks but nothing since does its job."


"I keep Ativan in a small container in my pocket at all times!  When I feel a generalized tonic clonic (grand mal) seizure coming on, I put one in my mouth, chew it up, swallow it, and prevents or stops the seizure immediately.  I am no longer afraid of status epilepticus because Ativan protects me.  I'm thankful they exist."


"Depo is GREAT! I recommend it to everyone that I know. I have been on Depo for about 2/3 years now, and frankly, I don't fault Depo for the "side effects" I have experienced. Yes, I have gained some weight. But I also eat a lot of carbs and don't exercise nearly as much as I used to. So you can't blame Depo for that. Also, my doctor made it quite clear to me that Depo could affect my bone density, so I take a chewable calcium supplement every day, and so far my bones are in great shape. And let's talk about the number one life changer- no period! I used to have awful cramps and heavy bleeding, but now I literally have no period whatsoever. Occasional spotting, but that's really rare and only lasts for a day. do yourself a favor and try Depo"


"I have been on this pill for a month and gained 12lbs! I went from 135lbs to 147lbs and I look like I am 6 months pregnant! I am constantly hungry and I continue my workout regiment but I have decided this is simply not worth looking and feeling like the good year blimp!"


"I am always bleeding between periods, I’ve also gained 15 pounds and on a skinny girl it’s very noticeable! My acne hasn’t got worse or better. And now I’m not getting my period when I should be. I am experiencing depression where I don’t want to be around anyone I don’t want to eat because I’m gaining so much weight I’m stuck in my head and lashing out at people. I’m not my normal self. I wish I found a pill that rids my acne and doesn’t affect my weight or sex drive.."


"Insertion: December 17th, 2012. Kids: None. Age: 26
Previous BC: YAZ, Ortho-TriCyclen.

I had/have a few ovarian cysts and medium flow periods for 4-5 days before Mirena. Insertion hurt like a serious mother(WOW), but it was 2 minutes of my life. I bled very lightly for about 2-3 weeks after and since then have not had my period. You have no idea how AWESOME THAT IS. Insurance covered most of my Mirena. I had to pay the pre-insertion appointment and doctor's fees, etc. Only side effects for me include acne (which some might be attributed to me starting to work out a lot).

Best decision I've made in awhile."


"The insertion was excruciating. The entire time I had it, I felt a dull pain localized to my cervix (I couldn't even touch my cervix because it would send a shooting pain up my uterus). It made sex impossible because my partner would feel the strings, I would get sharp shooting pains during penetration, and my natural lubrication was non-existent. I would bleed after sex and have cramps for days afterwards, with sharp localized pain. Three months in, it travelled upwards and I got it removed. I've been bleeding for two weeks now, with huge blood clots and soaking through super tampons in less than two hours. I've been breaking out."


"I am 91 and have congestive heart failure. (I also fell and broke the femur articulation with my hip in late March). My doctor gave me this medicine, Coreg, and it took away the swelling in my feet, ankles, legs and knees.  I was having such pain in my knees and the drug along with other medicines I take, that it has gotten the fluid out of my system and my knees no longer ache.  This medicine has really improved my life."


"I started taking this pill when my pharmacy switched it out from my regular Aviane. (Which are supposed to be exactly the same)

The first week or so I was incredibly nauseous. Another thing I've noticed is how incredibly tired I've been. I wake up tired. It's really strange because this is a brand new thing since starting this pill.

My sex drive has also taken a turn for the worst. Mainly due to being so tired by the time my kids go to bed I'm practically asleep myself. That was never a problem before.

Now that I'm nearing my 1st period on the pill I have extreme pms symptoms. Mainly feeling weepy and actually crying about things I would not normally. The worst though is my temper. I feel like I'm about to snap frequently."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"Suffering a migraine right now without Midrin as it is no longer available.  "


"Used in conjunction with having a spinal tap during artery disease surgery nursing staff referred to my experience upon awaking in recovery as "NITE TERRORS" I had horrific hallucinations of violently spinning photo graphs that made me scream, cry huge tears, yell obscenities, repeatedly say I wanted to kill myself, or die, and yelling I would be afraid to go to sleep again.  Nurses had to take my face and tell me over and over it would be over soon.  Had I not had a spinal and couldn't move I fear I would have deliberately hurt myself."


"On it for a month, became extremely depressed and had suicidal thoughts."


"I've been taking concerta for the past five months. When I first began taking it, I would get headaches and appetite problems, but those side effects dissapeared after about three weeks on it. Concerta has not only improved the amount of work I'm able to accomplish, its improved my self esteem as well. I no longer feel as shy and cluttered as I did before I started taking concerta. I like that it lasts throughout the entire work day, so I don't have to worry about redosing. Overall, concerta has been a very positive experience for me."


"Estradiol oral 5mg is the best decision I could have made. It was with much consideration due to all the bad press for hormone replacement in the past decade. I work full time, have a home and a life, I had to find something, nothing "natural or organic" was working.

I started suffering night sweats 5 years ago, daytime hot flashes began 3 years ago. I was not sleeping through the night, tossing off the covers then putting them back on. I was exhausted, moody, and snarky. Within a month of starting Estradiol, I was sleeping soundly, the hot flashes were manageable, and not nearly as frequent. I'll use it for a year as prescribed and then take guidance from my doctor, but I truly am a new person."


"Dilaudid is used for break through pain and it does an excellent job. I can honestly say that this medicine works very well between doses of my primary medicine. I would recommend that everyone follow your doctors directions to the letter, never take more than you are prescribed of ANY medicine.
If I hadn't been put on the proper medicines, I would likely have ended up in an institution due to the pain being so bad. People don't realize how hard it is to live with chronic pain 24/7 unless they have been there at some point themselves."


"Depression has improved somewhat, anxiety is improved.  I'm not sure if it's part of the depression or the med but I experience fatigue.  I can get things done but still don't enjoy things like I used to.  Motivation and negative thoughts still an issue for me.  I am also working with a therapist which is helpful.  The thing is I know I can feel better than this.  Had genetic testing done; will discuss results with my MD & possible try something different."


"I was hesitant to try Accutane because of it's dangerous side effects. However, as a 17 year old I had been suffering from severe acne since I was 11 years old. Accutane is not a medicine that I would recommend taking if you don't absolutely need to. Prior to starting it, I tried everything you could name- virtually anything they sold in chemists and countless topicals and oral medications, all with little to no effect. Looking back on it, I wish I would have started Accutane sooner. I cannot stress what amazing results I got after finishing my 7 months on the medicine. It did cause the expected dryness of lips, eyes, nose, etc. However, the results of the medicine completely outweigh it's side effects."


"Zoloft has been helpful as someone dealing with chronic pain and occasional anxiety. After trying a variety of different treatments and regimens, this seems to be the best long-term strategy to coping with anxiety. I realized a lot of things about myself after beginning Zoloft - the ability to process things before I react and the way that I handle stressful situations has changed for the better. I feel like a more balanced, calm person since starting about 7 months ago. It has helped with relationships too, as I am able to manage my stress and anxiety more around the people that I love. Felt a bit jittery and lost a few pounds while I first started, but the side effects were gone after 3 weeks. And for the record, I was completely opposed."


"After my 10 year tried about every medication he started Daytrana it is absolutely the miracle medication. He is in honors classes and is able tolerate his day to day routine. We put it on him before he gets up in the morning. Without the medication or on oral doses he is very unmanageable and even aggressive at times. We use Ritalin tablets when he does not have school this helps with his weight but his behavior is out of control. He really can not go to school without his patches. We need the Daytrana!!!!!!!"


"Paregoric is the only medicine that will have any effect on my diarrhea caused by surgically induced Short Bowel Syndrome.  To stop being housebound, I have to have it.  Without it I can have no normal life.  "


"*18 yrs old* Getting the IUD inserted was EXTREMELY painful but worth it. The 1st month or so was nothing but pain but it was from spotting and cramps from getting used to something foreign in your body.  Day 4 was the most painful, but I LOVE my IUD! I don't have scares and I don't worry about taking a pill everyday & I don't worry about getting pregnant.  This is the best choice I've made for my birth control. I've lost weight, acne cleared up, & most importantly I'm not moody all the time ! :)
My boyfriend says he can feel it rarely during intercourse but it doesn't hurt nor bother him.  I've been on this since November and I'm extremely happy I made this choice. Take ibuprofen before and after & rest with a heating pad.  Hope this review helps!"


"I was really sick and just having a hard time getting through the day. My doctor prescribed me Cedax which I have never heard of before and it is incredible. I was symptom free in just 3 days. I have taken Omnicef before and it is worthless compared to Cedax."


"I started on this medication and noticed rapid heart beat. I hate it - it makes me feel miserable I'm on 4 doses a day of 500mg. This makes it to difficult for me. I even took my blood pressure medication no help and I can't sleep. I will go to ER tomorrow for another solution if possible. This is so scary Medication too strong for me."


"Sominex helps me to get to sleep fast.  I can wake as I need and then return to sleep quickly."


"I used Vigamox for cataract surgery.  It has serious side effects that even doctors are unaware of.  I got ringing in my ears and tingling in my hands feet and legs.  I also got leg pain.  The tingling is a symptom that a irreversible peripheral neuropathy may start to occur.  Six weeks later I still have the ringing in my ears and tingling. If you get any tingling - stop this drug immediately."


"I've had extremely bad anxiety, panic attacks, and mood swings. This medicine is wonderful. It's not very strong but it takes the edge off. I'd recommended to anyone with anxiety."


"Most of my teenage life my skin was OK, not perfect but I knew I would grow out of it. About 8 - 12 months ago however, in my second year at University I began to get aggressive, rashy looking acne all of my cheeks and jaws - very unusual for me. When it started to mess with my self confidence I finally went to the doctor who prescibed me Doxcycline 100 mg, 1 tab every day for 3 months. After about 3 days on this pill I experienced about 10 days of the worst acne I have ever had. I persevered though and in the past 2 days (I am now halfway into my 3rd week) I have seen a MASSIVE difference. 'm only left with a few little red marks which will disappear over time. Do try this medication and don't lose hope if your acne gets worse for a while!"


"I've been taking Abilify 30 mg for about 4 years now. I also take 2 antidepressants Paxil 40mg and Wellbutrin 300mg daily. Abilify changed my life for the better. I had been on a roller-coaster of medicines taking Seroquel for a few years. When I tried Abilify I barely had side effects though for the first month I had excessive sweating. I have gained 70 pounds since I began taking medicines (8 years). Recently I was taken off Abilify to try Lithium. I became severely depressed and manic. I even went to the ER for suicide. The few times I've been off my medicines I've been hospitalized. So I say definitely YES to Abilify. "


"I've had extremely bad anxiety for 25 years and I have  been very very depressed on and off through my life.   I had tried many different prescriptions in  the past but gave up on every one of them because of side effects.

This medication has felt like it saved my life in many ways.  I went from feeling like I was in a very dark hopeless place that effected my work and social life too feeling like quality of life is so manageable and pleasant and bright.

So much to be thankful for."


"I was able to avoid most of the gastrointestinal side effects by taking my pill about an hour or two after eating. After week 1, my psoriasis seemed to get more ashy than red. The patches became very itchy, but I felt that the medication might be working. That was the furthest extent of any clearing for me. By week 2, I was feeling depressed with anxiety that I couldn't seem to shake. Around week 3, my anxiety was getting so overwhelming that I called my doctor to tell him that I couldn't take the medication anymore. If you still want try Otezla and your insurance doesn't cover it, you should be able to work through your doctor to potentially get 2-week supplies directly from the manufacturer while your doctor is submitting an appeal."


"Atralin really help CLEAR up my skin but my skin is still not porcelain smooth. I still have tiny tiny bumps but way better than it was before. I also used Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control Power-Cream Scrub and I love how the two work. You just have to give it time and right now, I think I'm almost over the 'it gets worse before it gets better' phase."


"I have dealt with allergies for the past 5 years and they are getting worse. I've tried everything under the sun, most over the counter, many prescription allergy medicines and sprays. Everything just helped slightly, until this. I cannot believe the immediate response. One spray in each nostril and I'm good for 12 hours. No itchy nose, no sneezing, no runny nose. I purchased a large 30ml bottle. Since I don't have to use every day, this can last easily 3-4 months."


"When I turned 30 my acne became much more cystic and spread to my neck, chest, and back. My bacne was so bad it hurt to take a shower. Within 3 weeks of starting Claravis (30mg daily), I started to experience dry skin and lips. Over the months, I developed rashes on my hands and arms due to dry skin. I had several nose bleeds and dry eyes, but was able to remedy all the dryness with lip balm, saline solution, and various lotions/moisturizers. I also became thirsty all the time, but this began to subside going into my 4th month. The dryness was a very small price to pay for the AMAZING results. My face, neck, chest, and back are almost 100% CLEAR!!! I didn't have any other side effects and my ONLY regret is not taking this medication sooner!"


"I have had the Nexplanon for about 4 months now. I was not bleeding for the first couple of weeks, but ever since then I have not stopped bleeding. I have had a period for almost 4 months. I told my doctor and she put me on the birth control pills as well to stop the bleeding. It only stopped for a couple of days and came right back. I have the worst mood swings and cramps ever. I am going to get it taken out very soon."


"I had suffered with panic attacks since I was around 14 years old. There came a time when I had shock treatments because back in the 60's not much was known about these kinds of illnesses.  Later on, I became completely housebound for 8 years.  I heard about Tofranil and decided to try it.  Within 3 weeks I was able to not only get out of my house but go about 3 blocks away.  It takes time, but if it had not been for Tofranil combined with Xanax I would still be home bound.  It works, no two ways about it. When nothing else did.  The only side effects were sleepiness until it gets into your system (2 weeks for me) and dry mouth. But for me that was nothing to getting my life back."


"Ive been on Accutane for 2 months.I went through random breakouts and I turned to Birth Control to help control the hormones causing my acne. It helped but not as much as Accutane could, so I gave it a shot! I have scars from my acne so I always wear liquid and powder cover up. If anyone else is on Accutane and wears makeup, the dry skin is probably making your makeup look dry and cakey!
"


"PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE,Don't take this medicine. Started it on Sat and now it's Wed, I'm still soaking in hot baths 3 to 4 times a day.. The itch, burning and swelling was sooooo bad, My vag was twice it's size. I'm still discharging this stuff and it's 5:43 a.m. Horrible this should be taking off the market or off the shelf until the formula is recalculated"


"Diagnosed with atrial fibrillation in 2007. Three electrocardioversions, two ablations, a Medtronic ICD and 1000 mcg a day of Tikosyn and I am in sinus rhythm 99.998% of the time. Before treatment I was in A-Fib for 10 months. My Electrophysiologist prescribed  25mg twice daily of atenolol to help with the pounding heart beat side effect of Tikosyn. I turn 37 in August so my major concern is the long term use of Tikosyn. Its a fairly new medicine and there isn't any research of long term (20 yrs) dosage. So far, so good. It does make me tired, but that is a small price to pay to live without A-Fib."


"I took this pill one day and that was all I needed to, I took it at 5:30 pm and was fine, until I wanted to sleep. I tossed and turned all night, my heart racing, I was literally so tired but my mind just would not shut down. Those things they call brain zaps are terrifying, DO NOT TAKE THIS."


"I just finished my first week of the starter pack, and I had absolutely no side affects. I take even my vitamins with food, and I think that's the key. I am 51, and have worked out nearly every day since I was 24. The last 4 months I could not even walk around my yard and gained ten pounds. I finally went to the doctor and after a few weeks, I was told it was Fibromyalgia. I never heard of it before in my life. I thought I had bad arthritis. Since starting the Savella, I have been able to do about 15 minutes of a workout before my ankles and back pain start up, but I do notice an improvement. I am very optimistic that this medicine is going to work for me.  Reading all these posts has been very helpful to me as well."


"I had toenail fungus bad for 10 years, on 9 toes. 5 of them looked hideous, like rams horns. I was terrified of this medicine for years, didn't want to take it etc. Finally plucked up the courage to go to the Dr, she told me this medicine is misrepresented due to people mainly sharing negative reviews. I was on it for 4 months, gave up drinking, cut out caffeine, takes at least 6-8 weeks to notice anything, but after 3 months on it the fungus had stopped growing. Then I threw away all my old socks and use Clearzal on my toes daily to keep the microbes off. Now 9 months on the fungus has completely gone and my feet are soft - its amazing. A little fatigue and salty taste, other than that no side effects"


"I'm so shocked that this medication has so many terrible reviews. I have IBS which switches from diarrhea to constipation and back, I also take pain meds occasionally for bad migraines and sometimes the combination leaves me extremely backed up. I have used both the pills AND the suppositories of this med (not at the same time) and both work great for me with very little side effects. I'm also a nurse and we use it a lot at the hospital for constipation, it's very effective!"


"I took mucinex when I had a really nasty chest cold . Medicine worked great except for the fact that I'm allergic to guaifenesin . I didn't know that at the time . I had really horrible chest  and upper shoulder pain . Also rapid heart beat . I felt like I was dying. It lasted for about 20 min and then everything was normal again ."


"Works well but very sleepy for up to 24 hrs later perhaps it takes awhile to get use to it"


"I was diagnosed bipolar a year ago and started at 100 then 150 and now 200mg at night in conjunction with Cymbalta 30 mg. I have had no side effects and I really think this drug has saved my life."


"Adderall has helped me greatly, though it is not perfect. Many doctors have suspected that I have narcolepsy, but my insurance company won't pay for the sleep study because I'm only in my 20s (what??). Anyway, my doctor prescribed Adderall because I simply could not stay awake in class, driving, riding the bus, watching movies, doing homework, etc. Basically everything. I remember the first dose I took. I felt like a normal person. Not hyper or overstimulated (my doc was worried about this because I also have bipolar I), just normal. I just went about my day and did my homework and washed the dishes and read a book like a normal person. This drug has really changed my life. I gave it an 8 because I still have to take naps throughout the day"


"I have been a big boned guy all my life 5"9 227 pounds. High blood pressure, cholesterol and bad joint pain. Since my early teens I have been bigger then most boys my age in every grade. I am now 34 years old and have tried just about every diet known to man without and sustained success. Four months 36 pounds down and feeling great. Easy to use minimal side effects and maximum easy weight loss. My joints are feeling better and 35 pounds to go before I hit my goal. I don't feel deprived and yes food still tastes very good but I just voluntarily eat smaller amounts. Real success real life."


"I had dilaudid every two hours on IV after my bowel resection. I needed this every two hours or else my body would start going into shock from trauma and pain. The IV was wonderful but doesn't last long at all. They tried giving me the pills two days before leaving but never worked like the IV. They sent me home with 1mg oral dilaudid and taking one or two did not do a thing. I had to take 3 to even slightly feel relief. It seems their pill form isn't quite effective as the IV but does last longer but just isn't as great. I agree as well as it being severely addictive. I weened myself off 4 or 5 days ago after every day use for almost 2 weeks (mostly hospital IV) and I'm still having headaches and slight nausea."


"This med  works well for norepinephrine uptake inhibition which is my problem.  However, it can cause anorgasmia in men over 50 years of age.  I can have an erection and sexual intercourse but I never finish the job.  One of the side effects listed for this drug if you read the small print.  I stopped using it years ago and still have side effects."


"Been doing opiates since i was 14, started with percocets, then oxy 10s got up to 10 80s a day by 19, then heroin at 22 , smoked 2 grams a day, plus 200mg methadone. in April i was introduced to fentanyl powder, i started at 0.1, it knocked me on my ass, within a month i was smoking 3 grams a day PLUS 200 mg methadone. I cold turkeyed for 3 days, couldn't stand the pain, i was literally SCREAMING like a little girl, so i took 100mg methadone, still VERY sick, for 3 days. Checked myself into a treatment centre, COLD TURKEY for 30 days. I am 30 days clean today, i have a 0.1 mg prescription of clonidine. It helps sort of i take it at nights for RLS. I haven't slept more then 2 hoursin 36 days but am feeling 80%. Sleep in a hot bath"


"I have been on Aviane for two months now. I'll be starting my third month in about a week. I have noticed a huge difference in my appetite. I've usually only eaten a snack after school and dinner but lately I seem to always have food in my mouth and I eat huge amounts. My stomach is constantly bloated. My mood recently started to change, I always feel down and in a "I hate everything" mood. I am normally a very happy non stop laughing person but now its an effort to smile. I've also experienced extreme fatigue, I have no energy for anything and all I ever seem to do is cry. I hope none of you are experiencing this."


"Heartburn other than that tolerable after being on warfarin for 28 yrs, love the fact no constant visits for protime testing."


"My Dr. Prescribed me Doxepin 10mg. For depression, anxiety, and insomnia. So far so good, calms me down wonderfully when my three kids or my husband cause me to have an anxiety attack, and is working well with my depression. Only things it isn't doing to much for my insomnia I still go to bed at about 9pm and fall asleep around  2:30-3:00am. I have also taken Lexapro which worsened my depression, Zoloft just made me feel like a  zombie or like I was wired out of my mind, and Prozac which worked great on me but since I have insomnia my Dr. gave me Doxepin."


"This drug is very dangerous.  Post-finasteride syndrome is very real and has destroyed my life along with thousands of others.

All 5ar inhibitors need to be banned, they are not safe, period."


"34 YOM Began 1 tube of generic testim 6 months ago for T levels around 100, insurance would not cover pump. After approx 1 week, I broke out in a rash, however kept using and after 1-2 weeks, rash cleared up.

     Yes, it is a process to apply it in the morning, albeit a maybe 5 minute process. The best advice is to USE rubber medical gloves to apply, otherwise it is a complete mess to clean up, and USE a metal tube key to get the last 25% out of the tube. Rub it on until it begins drying,(30 seconds maybe) wait a couple minutes to put a t shirt on, and do your thing. I haven't noticed really any smell at all, certainly not bothersome. I do not have recent lab results, so I will not attest to its efficacy,I just want to share my tips."


"I was on this drug for 6 years. I experienced some serious side effects, such as somnolence and vivid nightmares, which at the beginning I wrote off as getting adjusted to the medications I was taking and coming to terms with everything that happened before my diagnosis (Bipolar II). Years went on and it didn't get better. About 3 years in, I started developing a tic. I went to my doctor to discuss coming off the medication, I started sliding back into a full relapse. My doctor advised that I should go back on the medication, which I did. Back in February of this year (2017) I was completely fed up with never feeling like I slept long enough, the nightmares, and the tic, and came off of it. I haven't felt better in a long time."


"I was diagnosed with Crohns disease. I have been taking this drug for about a month and feel like a new person. No flares. No diarrhea. No stomach pain. My doctor said this can be used a daily drug because of the reduction of use until it reaches the liver, and unlike other steriods, the side effects are minimal to none. I would recommend this to anyone suffering from mild to moderate Crohns."


"I was on Depo shot for 6 years, no periods, no weight gain, all great. I then had to be taken off so I got the Mirena, still no periods but I was in constant pain so I had it taken out and started this pill about a month and a half ago. I've been extremely moody and irritable. My periods have been regular so far. I have noticed I'm starting to gain weight and bloat and it doesn't seem to be related to the period. I feel like a balloon. I've also been experiencing a lot of headaches and body/joint pain over the last couple weeks. I'm pretty miserable and will be switching to something else as soon as I can."


"Good stuff! No burning a little itching... Felt a lot better after 30 min!"


"I'm writing this review because I'm absolutely shocked by how quickly I began to feel like myself again. After as little as a week I had an easier time getting out of bed in the morning, I physically felt more energetic, and I had more emotional clarity. My husband is even more delighted in the results than I am. He says I'm more like myself. Even with good insurance this medicine can be pricey. Very few side effects. I felt a little jittery the first couple of days and had trouble sleeping. Those went away when I adjusted the time I took the medicine. I'm just thankful to feel some relief!"


"Have been smoking since 14 and now almost 50.  My family dislike the fact that I smoke - the health risks mainly but also the smell. Im only on day 10 of taking Champix but must say how impressed I am.  Had my last cigarette 5 days ago.  I have had a few odd dreams,  but nothing scarey at all,  just odd.

Today was a hard day as its Sunday and im not my busiest however I got through it (almost bought a 10 pack) Did some breathing exercises which  helped and have started to suck ice cubes when I get a craving-which only lasts about 3 mins. So far so good.  Fingers and toes crossed I will succeed but after reading some of the comments on here it looks like I will.  Will keep you posted. Good luck everyone."


"I got Skyla inserted like 4 months ago and to be quite honest, my periods can go from like 10-12 days at a time with horrendous contraction-like cramps and also I get these cramps even when I'm not on my period it really sucks! I actually went to the Gyno yesterday to talk to her about having it removed and she seemed mad and just annoyed with my whole story about how much pain I'm in and just everything. It just really offended me to the point to where I was like never mind about having it removed, cause she just thought it was no big deal and that it takes a full 6 months to get used to... She also told me that it's not supposed to make you gain weight but you see I've tried to lose weight and I just can't for some reason but idk any help"


"It gave  me sleep and thats all that mattered but when I didn't have it is wasn't cool .  Isn't it non narcotic?"


"I tried many things to stop heavy bleeding including an ablation. Nothing made my period less heavy, let alone stopped it. I started Seasonique 2 years ago and in the beginning I had irregular spotting for the duration of the first pack. After that I had very light periods every 3 months, with occasional spotting in between. I was happy with the results. Now, nearly 2 years later, in the second month of a pack I am on a 7 day and counting period, extremely heavy with a lot of clots. Guess this has decided to stop working too so it is back to my OBG again to try something else."


"I was prescribed Topamax after experiencing 2 seizures from extreme stress, anxiety, and insomnia for an extended period of time. I have a history of anxiety/mood issues, and have tried several SSRI's and other medications with no success over many years. I had given up hope until I tried topamax. Within the first few days I knew something was different. My anxiety was erased for the first time in 15 years. I was happy again, and was looking forward to spending time with people. This medication completely turned my life around. If you are stuck in a anxiety/depression hole with very little hope, please be patient. There is something out there for you. Topamax has side effects, but you get used to them within a month, its well worth it."


"I've been on this medication for 3 weeks and the only thing It's done is brought down the cystic acne and made my skin red and flaky and dry and idk what will help anymore I've been on every acne medication bar acutane"


"Highly recommend. I have a C5 pinched nerve which affects my left arm, fingers are numb, & pain in spine. I was taking 700-1050 mg of Soma, 2-3xs daily & Norco 10/325  2-3xs a day. NOT ANY MORE. I take 1 medicine 3 xs a day and feel great. Very rarely do I have to add Norco. This medicine has been a Godsend! Cannot live without it, no surgery for me."


"Made me feel totally disconnected from social interaction,life,etc. its like it closed my head in."


"I'm 22 and I've had anxiety and some bad panic attacks for the past 2 years. I'm prescribed ativan (lorazapam) to take as needed. It helped a lot for traveling and definitely for shutting down panic attacks but it also gives you a lot of ups and downs. Its a benzo so it essentially just shuts you down and makes you pass out, it doesn't really help fix the problem.

I talked to my doctor this summer about getting on an every day anxiety medicine and my mom takes prozac so I thought maybe it'll help me too. I started at 10 for a month and then increased to 20 for 2 months. I can honestly say I haven't had bad side effects at all but also it just felt like it wasn't doing anything. I just recently increased to 40 this month, hoping for the best!"


"I have major depressive disorder and anxiety. I had titrated from 10mg to 40mg. At first I felt slightly better, however after staying on the 40mg for three weeks, I hit a major suicidal patch. I was crying all the time and overwhelmed. I have unexplained bruising all over and have been vomiting. I am going to talk with my doctor about getting off asap. I haven't been able to shake the depression that came roaring back, and the panic attacks are often"


"I began taking Paxil 'by choice' 15 years ago; when my panic and anxiety was out of control. I didn't realize I had always suffered from depression until I took this medicine.The very fist day I took the 20 mgs. I felt a calmness like never before.The first couple of weeks or so I felt a little zoned out; perhaps more depressed seeming. Looking back I think my depression was left on its own. It took a couple of weeks to improve that but it did. I was on it for 2 years before weaning off due to weight gain and thinking I was better. I fell back into severe depression and panic. Went back on it, tried to wean again. Same response. A third time put me in the hospital. 7 years later I still have to take meds but nothing has helped since paxil."


"After 15 years of cholesterol issues and statin intolerence, I met a great cardiologist after my heart attack and now have 3 stints. She got the insurance to cover the Repatha. I had blood work after 12 weeks. My total cholesterol is cut in half. Triglycerides from 85 to 74, LDL 154 to 55, HDL from 42 to 46. I'm on my 2nd quarter of shots so we'll see where it goes after another 12 weeks."


"I got the Mirena in 2013, like most of the reviews the insertion was relatively pain free.Then the bleeding began, this is a progesterone only birth control and guess what progesterone does? It assists in shedding the line of you uterus. You know all those annoying side effects of menstruation, bloating, bleeding(Obviously), cravings, and water retention. Well multiply that by 10 and you have the side effects of Mirena. And since there is no break in you now 3 month long period, you start gaining weight and never ever able to lose.  I have had two kids and have successfully lost the weight for both, easy. Just don't . Oh they charge for the ultrasound separately to verify it is safe, WTF!!!"


"The best contraceptive pill i have been on. I fell pregnant immediately after stopping yaz. It controlled my pms symptoms migraines , acne weight the works. The only pill that has all the benefits.

I tried others & got bad reactions. This is the best of the best."


"Let's talk about my sickness first. I was dipping my self into a freezing water pool for approximately 5 minutes  a day. The next morning I felt the weather is so much colder so I knew its a fever. I'm very healthy person my body I make sure that my body is clean, I drink a lot of water and cleaning drinks so my stomach is always clean. The doctor prescriped me fevadol and omnicef.
Omnicef experience were horrible. Very bad diarrhea every 15 minutes or so even if there is nothing in my body. I couldn't sleep for more than 24 hours with complete alertness and no feeling of exhaustion. eating it without food will make it worse. I used it for 2 days only.
Dosage was 1 300mg twice a day.
I got Dizziness, back pain, headache and diarrhea."


"I started feeling better within a half of a day. This was good because I had been suffering for 6 days trying to get into the doctor. I feel much better now with no side effects. I had a terrible reaction in the past to Cipro so I was happy to try another medicine that worked better for me."


"I am on my first month of Clavaris 40 mg. And I am really loving it. I really should have started this sooner. Because the results are amazing! Before using this drug my skin was horrible. I tried everything and nothing worked like this! Within 2 weeks almost all my breakouts were gone, now at my 4 week mark, I have just a few left on my chin area, but for the most part everything is clear and I used to have Rosacea too and that's gone! I have nothing but good things to say about this drug. As far as side effects, I was really tired the first 2 weeks but now I feel more energized. And always have chapstick handy. You will experience dry lips for sure. Even my friends and family are noticing a difference. Give it a try!"


"My doctor prescribed this for me to help with extremely heavy periods due to uterine fibroids. Two and half months in and I started bleeding every day, cramping and passing sizeable clots. Despite my fibroids, I never had bleeding in between my periods prior to taking this medication. This was great for two months but sadly did not work for me. Doc just told me to stop taking it while we figure out other options."


"So horrible.  Took 10 mg at 10.  Still awake at 11: 30.  Took 10 mg more and finally fell asleep at 12:30.  Woke up at 3, super tired but unable to go to sleep.  Side effects are a major headache in left side of head and super groggy because your tired but can't sleep."


"I’m 20 years old and this is my first yeast infection. Let me tell you guys I wish I  never ever get a yeast infection again in my life!!! I went in to the E.R due to being super itchy down there and they prescribed this to me due to having a YI. It’s my first day taking it and I am so itchy it’s crazy!!  It doesn’t burn but I just it is just the itch!!!!! I’m crying !!! I don’t know how I will get through this. It’s barely my first day out of 7! Good luck to anyone  using this! I would recommend avoiding  this and asking your dr is there is something else you can take."


"I have taken many sedatives for years and this finally taken it's toll on my sex life. Noticed it a few months ago, had the talk with my Dr. he gave 100mg of Viagra. Definitely does the trick, I get a little sweaty and can definitely feel my heart race but makes you feel like a man again! My wife will call ahead to make sure "I'm prepared", so I guess she's enjoying this too."


"I have been on Portia for about a year now, and it has been great and effective. I am not pregnant and it reduced my period days by about four days. I had very bad cramps before I started birth control, but Portia helped a lot. I would recommend this to anyone!"


"I find that with Adderall XR everything has improved. I am diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, Bipolar mixed cycling, and anxiety {GAD}. Before I would stay in bed for three weeks straight because I had no energy. With Adderall XR I am able to function. Recently I have lost my pill bottle (a real downside to being adhd - you loose things), and I am not looking forward to sitting through more classes without it. I think I've finally found the right dose - 30 MG once a day in the morning seems to work for me. I just cannot have any type of eggs. I notice, however, that this makes me feel a million times better. I've noticed a little weight loss but not much."


"I have been taking 10mg since Nov.5 2009. I have gone from 203 - 177. I went off for two weeks this past month and I have not gained but have stayed the same. During my time off however I had times of high anxiety and irritability, especially, when starting the medication again. My blood pressure and pulse rate have been fine. I have had some constipation problems.I think my Dr. will raise my dose to 15mg at my next appointment.  My goal weight is 150. I feel so much better. It has helped with mild depression as well. Good Luck."


"I had a cute review to post, but Drugs.Com believes in cutting to the Chase, so Ok. So, had a yeast infection for quite some time (about 3 weeks...yikes!), not my first one though. So on July 5th, I bought Monistat 1, busted open the lifesaver and got busy. The applicator was easy to slide in and apply. I also used the cream to ease the itching...nah. 2 hrs later I went to class and almost had a freakin' panic attack because the burning and itching INTENSIFIED like none other. Oh my goodness Cool wipes were a waste, I was better off using Vagisil's Anti Itch wipes...cooch was on FIYA! However, after all the pain, the kit worked. No more symptoms after July 8th. Would be nice to have a warning sayin all this, but it was worth it to be honest."


"Started taking tramadol for chronic pain relief. It worked but I didn't expect that after trying all for bipolar and depression it would work. Until now I'm not feeling the depression so badly. Its great."


"stuff sucks  for the 1st 4 months but after the 6th month I went from 50 pimples to 0, been off of it for a year and maybe one odd break out a month .. dry lips,dry eyes and stay out of the sun"


"I am 65 yrs old; and been dealing with learning disability all my life. However, only recently a clinical psychologist, who I went to for some testing, recommended Ritalin, Adderall which caused unpleasant side effects then Strattera 40 mg. Strattera has been the drug that works for me. I am definitely more focused and can stay focused on reading a book or newspaper article to completion without anxiety and frustration of having to read the same paragraph over and over again. I have always been treated with Paxil for anxiety attacks over the years but this drug seems to work better in that I am happy to feel more focused, interested and involved with everything I do and being with my kids seems to be more enjoyable for me. I EMBRACE these feelings."


"So I started on this medication about a year ago, and it's been a pretty good expirence up until recently. My skin has always been great and I haven't gained any weight. I had spotting and light cramps every 2 weeks for about 5 months after I started taking it, but then all of a sudden the bleeding became irregular and has been ever since. Now I almost always have breast tenderness that starts up to 2 weeks before I'm set to take the placebos, and this is incredibly uncomfortable. The worst part, however, is that this BC has completely destroyed my sex drive. I hardly ever feel like having sex anymore, and when I do I wind up crying uncontrollably during or after. It's super gross, but I'm too afraid of side effects to try a different BC."
