"I'm writing this because like you I was worried out of my mind after unprotected sex. I took Ella 2 hours after and I was a little nauseous for the next day, I also experienced cramping for a day. After I took it I felt fine and had no bleeding. About 2 weeks after I took it I got my period (yay!) but it was one week late. So don't stress too much because it WILL come!"


"Took one tablet around 4:30/5 o'clock pm. By the time I went to bed around 8:30 my stomach felt very bloated and uncomfortable. Around 1 am I was awake with horrible, horrible cramps - I felt nauseous and sweaty as well but still could not go. Finally the cramps subsided after about an hour. I woke up again around 6:30. Cramps were slight but still could not go. After a cup of coffee I was finally able to go (normal bm) around 7:30 am. Went a couple more times in the next hour. Stools were loose but not diarrhea worthy. It's 9 am and the cramps are almost gone/very slight. I feel better for the most part but still slightly nauseous."


"Works great, no side effects."


"I had fallen on on floor gasping for air, my two teenage daughter's trying to help. My oldest gets my inhaler, I go to urgent care for treatment. As a single dad, I realize enough is enough and begin to try to quit smoking for the last time. After trying many methods, April 2011 I start the regime of Chantix. Key points: I wanted to quit, when I started a pack was $0.50 - I was paying on average $5.50, I did not like smoking, most important - I want to continue to be around for my daughter's.
Today, I can be around smokers and not have no want. One side effect was I quit drinking coffee for about a year; I had no other side effects. I prepared-educated-mind set myself before starting. I wish you well."

"Weird side effects and didn't help vaginal infection."


"I've been on Yaz for about 3 years now as my period was very irregular and sometimes even got it twice a month...Yaz has absolutely changed my life it's been controlling my menstruations it's perfectly on time according to my pills I've never had any weird side effects and it's also helped with the cramping a bit but not as much as the control it offers over your period.!
Very happy!!"


"60mg 2x a day after 3 surgeries has allowed me to live a normal life. Also enables me to work a very physical job. Its great"


"I've had my Mirena for about 9 months after having been on the Depo shot for 10 years. I chose this device because the Depo was too strong and my emotions flat-lined. I have a history of painful periods and need something so I can function. On the Mirena I have some annoying but manageable cramps and no bleeding. More importantly, I have mood fluctuations (a good thing) but nothing like the PMS extremes. Insertion was not very bad (I have not had children) as long as you take some pain killer a few hours before and get the cervical softener in place in the vagina the night before. I also had an experienced doctor insert it. Definitely do your research before you get it inserted. Overall, this is working very well. I have even lost a few pounds!"


"I've been taking Lexapro for almost 6 years now and it has really helped with my depression and anxiety. I first started off with 10mg for about 3 months but didn't notice a huge change in my depression and my anxiety would come and go. After a serious panic attack that hospitalized me for the day my doctor decided to up my dose to 20mg a day. After that I was much happier and less anxious person. My doctor also gave me Xanax for any sudden panic attacks that I do get, but thankfully I haven't had to take it very often (maybe once every 3 months or so). The only side effect I suffered from was drowsiness and it would knock me out at night when I first started. Now in perfectly fine. I'm really glad I started taking this medicine!"


"I've completed 3 cycles of Condylox and have seen no improvements in the size or number of my warts. This is very frustrating and wish I could get rid of it. It's ruining my quality of life and I have no self confidence. I should be in my prime!"


"I have suffered with depression for 4 years and have tried so many drugs that I have lost count. I finally found a combination of drugs that were working, but not completely. My NP then added Provigil and my depression resolved.  I am able to get a lot done without feeling tired all of the time. However, I was on 200 mg and only had mild benefits. My NP increased the dose to 400 mg and it has helped tremendously. It has given me more hope that I have had in years."


"I was on this method of birth control from age 16-20. I loved it! I never noticed a weight gain, no periods at all for this entire time. In retrospect that probably isn't healthy but at the time it didn't bother me in the slightest. I had pretty intense mood swings, but I was also In a very unstable relationship at the time so I'm not going to pin the mood swings entirely on the depo. I recently switched to Trinessa pills and absolutely hate them, I never realized how happy I was with the depo shot until I started something else. I'm slightly concerned with the long term effects of the shot, but I might end up switching back to it. I know it has a rep for making people gain crazy weight, but it didn't have that effect on me."


"I have been dealing with degenerative disc disease (not really a disease) was told after I had to go to the chiropractor since on Wednesday I couldn't hardly walk. Well not being having to have a bm came with that back pain I could only pee nothing else.. well come Friday still in back pain going to the chiropractor he tells to try a laxative (oh I couldn't even feel that's how bad it was) anyways I pick this up with gas x, I take 2 gas x and 2 of these have something to eat even though I wasn't hungry and about an hour I have to go finally and easy! Hours later I have something to eat again and then diarrhea came (after having tums and going "normal" bm) but no cramping or any bad pains! Would definitely take again if it got as bad as it"


"I used monistat one ovule and OMG...THIS IS THE EGG OF FIRE!!  The burning is unbearable!!  I couldn't take it...I tried to get what was left of the ovule out and I am currently soaking in the tub trying to get some relief...not really helping!!  I would not recommend anyone using this!  I would rather deal with the symptoms of the yeast infection!!  I am debating calling the fire department to come spray a hose  to put the burning out!!  Not a happy camper!!"


"I have had stomach issues since childhood and so far no doctor has found the underlying cause.  However, in the meantime I was prescribed Reglan and it works.  I have been taking this medication on an as needed basis for over a year. I don't think it is a miracle worker...but it definitely helps.  "


"This medicine has ended my crisis.  I talked to my Dr. about the fact that I exercise and I don't eat out of control and could not lose weight.  I also told her that almost no matter what I eat I have to hit the bathroom within 20 minutes.   So, on top of getting this prescription, she did food allergy testing.  Turns out I am severely allergic to cows milk and bananas.  Bananas were always my go to food when I was in a hurry and I always tried probiotic yogurt to solve my stomach problems.  With all that being said,  I have lost almost 20 pounds since the beginning of July.  I think this is really helping me with my cravings for things I am not able to have now too.  No side effects for me."


"I can't sing the praises of Frova enough. I have had migraines since I was diagnosed when I was 10 years old and I have been on 3 different migraine medication studies including one on Biofeedback for migraines. I have tried countless medicines that my neurologists have prescribed and alternative treatments like acupuncture. I have suffered for close to 30 years of having up to 3 migraines a week. I was kicked out of school for absences even with the top neurologist in the state saying that there was nothing I could do to prevent them. I was unable to work full time for 15 years. I went to a pain clinic & they had me try Frova. It worked & without the side effects of Imitrex. It has changed my life. It stops them completely. I have a normal life now."


"Was prescribed this to stabilize mood swings.  Tended toward depressive episodes while on this medication with severe side effects such as feeling faint when walking, going up stairs etc, unable to sleep, nausea, foggy mind, unable to think of words, constantly dropping things, heart palpitations, very dry eyes and anxiety."


"Worst decision I ever made! I woke up with a sore throat so I took an antibiotic Mistake number 1. I ended up having laryngitis and the antibiotic I took caused my YI. It wasn't bad at first but I did have a lot of discharge. Whenever I have itching down there I use hydrocortisone cream I've had for a couple years since my last YI (I know its bad) but it helps but since this time I had excessive discharge I got monistat 7.. worst thing Ever. I used the cream and the applicatior it went in smoothly 2 hours later I felt worst burning and itching of my life it felt like I was itching from inside my vagina and when I applied more it burned like acid! Laid in bed for about an hour before burning sensation was completely gone"


"Took first shot in doctors office 2 weeks ago 75mg and started feeling a little unwell that nite next day extreme nausea, belching, just sick. Finally subsided nite before second shot.Took second shot helps with bringing numbers down though. Side effects of fullness - you have to hydrate and eat smaller meals..hope this helps someone..it does get better O hope Took third shot.. experienced bad nausea and vomiting, "


"I felt a positive difference within the first week. I also have generalized anxiety and it seems to have helped with it as well. Due to my epilepsy, I take the highest dosage that I can, which is 10mg. I feel better but I think 20 would work great."


"These pills are wonder workers.  I  love them. I  have not felt like this since  was in my 20's"


"I was currently taking Exalgo 12 mg 1 daily and 2 mg Dilaudid 2 daily. It started not to work so my doctor put me on Opana 40 mg 2 daily and kept my Dilaudid. So far taking Opana is great, it last long enough to take my second dose and I couldnt be happier. "


"Day 5 of 7, 300mg bid, and still having fevers and persistent cough. I went back to clinic and saw NP and she gave me a Z-pak, a dexamethasone IM, and rocephin shot. I hope to feel better soon. This medication didn't help me but it didn't give me diarrhea either. I don't recommend it."


"Suboxone and Subutex are definitely a viable alternative to methadone or purely tapering off opiates/opiods. Remember that eating anything containing multiple grams of acetaminophen, especially chronically or with alcohol is way more liver toxic than most patients and doctors realize. I stopped killing my liver - methadone and Subutex/Suboxone were a great help. Just taper off all of it before it, too becomes a habit."


"I got this inserted May 20th and spotted for a weekish. My period stopped for about 2 weeks.... but since then (almost 4 months) I've had my period every damn day. It's not heavy, but its new blood and old blood. Luckily my bf doesn't mind, but it's so inconvenient and frustrating. Everyday I tell myself i'm going to remove it, but in the back of my mind i feel like if i just wait it out a little bit longer it will stop. I'm starting to think the bleeding will continue and i'm not sure if i should take it out and start another pill, but if i do that will i have to experience another 4 months of bleeding. Anyways, my skin was good before i put it in, then i broke out and nowwww it's clearing up... No weight change..MOOD SWINGS YES!"


"If I could give this a zero rating I would...I was put on this medicine at 16 and it intensified all my issues.....It made me go into constant fits of rage and I gained almost 50 pounds...By far the worst medicine I've taken"


"After my 2nd child we were pretty sure we were done. But getting fixed, was too permanent! I've had paragard for 6 years & overall I'm happy with it. I've tried every kind of bc pills from low to high hormones. I also used nuvaring & the depo shot. My body can't handle any kind of hormones! For me the insertion was not painful. First 2 yrs was heavy bleeding, spotting all the time & bad cramps with a period of 10-14 days. It's a little better now but I still have 7-10 day periods, 4 to 6 days of heavy bleeding. But for me the cons are worth not getting pregnant!!"


"I have had RA for 50 years (since 16 years old), and have been on gold injections, plaquenil, methotrexate, and now Enbrel with methotrexate.  I have had multiple joint deformities, nodules and joint replacements.  Each med helped at first, but then failed, except for Enbrel.  Thank God for Enbrel!  I have been on it for 10 years and it has allowed me to work full time, something I had previously never been able to do.  I also work out at the gym every day, and am enjoying life!"


"I have taken midol, Advil, but none compare to Motrin IB. It worked within the first five minutes of me taking it. Great for instant relief, and last quite a while."


"Geodon has helped with the low mood swings. It does make me restless. I take it only in the morning. Lamictal has been my saving grace. It's been months since I've slipped into depression."


"Lyrica really helps but the cost is almost getting to be too much. "


"My doctor started me on this after I had crazy nerve pain due to shingles.  It works amazing for me!  When I don't take it or it's time for my dose it feels like I've been shot in the area where my shingles were worst.  So I have nothing but great things to say about this medicine for me."


"Fixed up my hemorrhoids well."


"40mg o geodon made me terribly ill. I vomited every day for a week then every other day for another week. I changed my diet to red meat and milk added Alka seltzer chews like skittles and took prilosec twice a day.
I did this because geodon gave me remarkable improvement in my life.  It felt like an awakening. Very little depression and just mania every now and then. It gave me back my personality."


"I have tried abilify (worked but caused massive weight gain) and latuda (worked at first, then just made me restless and agitated) and now vraylar for depression/mixed episodes in BP II.  I have only been on it for about a week, but I noticed a HUGE difference in my mood and agitation. I do not feel depressed and hopeless, and am no longer agitated at all. I hope this med continues to work! It is VERY expensive, but you can go on the website and get a savings card where you only pay $15/month."


"First day without a oxy or roxy in about 15 years. Ready to quit. Thanks to Subutex I think i can do it. I really want it. Took withdrawals away in about 15 minutes."


"I'm 37 and have anxiety induced erectile dysfunction.  One 10mg pill and within an hour or so I'm rock hard and can perform multiple times a day.  It lasts me for 2-1/2 to 3 days. Great medicine!"


"I stated that I would come back to this site with the results of my endoscopy after taking Pylera and the bacteria has been eradicated. Pylera worked for me!! I am a very satisfied customer. I hope this review will be helpful to others. Hang in there if you are taking it and having a rough time."


"This is my first time having urinary tract infection. I am taking the nitrofurantoin mono cap 100mg. The capsule is so easy to swallow unlike some of the other antibiotics which are chalky and leave a bad taste in your mouth. After the first pill, my UTI symptoms were already gone. I've been taking it for 2 days now and no bad side effects. If you get diarrhea from antibiotics, try taking it with probiotics. That seem to help me in the past."


"I just read these reviews as I was no longer getting any relief from respiclick. I read someone's review stating they replaced their old respiclick with a new one and the new one worked. There is a design flaw for sure. I just opened a new one and it works now. I was about to set up a doctor appointment because I haven't been able to breath correctly for weeks. Seems like it can go bad at any moment. Not good. I will be switching as I don't have the money or the time to deal with a design flaw especially when it comes to my ability to breathe."


"This is my first colonoscopy so I have nothing to compare it to. I mixed first bottle with Gatorade. Pretty sweet-not the best tasting. Harder to get down the more you drink. Chill bottles and use a straw. Started working in about an hour or so. I'm up at 4:30 am for my second dose. I mixed with Gatorade and water this time. A bit better but not much. I am chasing with water to get the taste out of my mouth."


"My depression is more work related as I'm a happy camper when I don't have to work, but I get nasty and temperamental at work.  Also I wanted to quit smoking.  I take the generic brand since I'm VA so I have no choice but it works fine!  I am much easier to get along with at work, I have quit smoking (YAY!!) and I have zero side effects.  Some may say I'm sleeping more than usual, but I'm OK with that."


"This pill changed my life! I suffered from such bad cramps before that I would be throwing up nonstop for hours. I now barely have to take advil when I get my period, my periods only last 4 days too. I do not break out, no mood swings also! I did gain a slight amount of weight but nothing too big. Love it! Going on year 2 now of being on LoLo!"


"Was so hoping the one day would work, but I don't think it has... Popped it in last night around 11:00. Felt fine. Put some of the monistat cream on the external itchy areas. Within minutes started to burn really badly. I waited about 20" and finally went back into the bathroom and washed with soap and warm water. Now it's 8:30 in the morning and I still have an irritating feeling. I think I'm going to have to buy the 3day. Expensive way to deal with this. Should have bought the 3day to begin with."


"Restless legs worse"


"I have suffered from treatment-resistant generalized anxiety disorder for over 15 years and have tried every treatment in the book (except for Celexa). Nothing worked. Before Celexa I was on Lexapro, which is supposedly the newer, more 'refined' version of Celexa, and felt horrible. About 6 months ago, I decided to switch over to Celexa and have never felt better. I felt a difference right away (within a day or two). I am finally back to my happy, bubbly, chatty self. Other SSRIs that cut my anxiety made me feel 'flat'. Not Celexa. On Celexa I'm still able to feel my emotions-I can laugh and cry (when appropriate)-without feeling overwhelmed by them. I take it in the morning and have so much energy all day. I highly recommend this medication."


"Augmentin: The first time I took it was about 8 yrs ago. It did the job quick but I had diarrhea for about a year. {not kidding! also developed plantar fasciitis for a brief period possibly due to a lack of certain nutrients, caused by the extended bout of diarrhea} I did not know what probiotics are at the time!?:(
I blamed myself and that other guy, My doctor for not mentioning the benefits of probiotics. Probiotics maintain a healthy level of good bacteria that most antibiotics will destroy, This prevents or minimizes greatly any diarrhea.
Augmentin also contains clavulanic acid which causes the upset stomach. Ranitidine, which is an acid reducer can help soften the sour stomach often associated with augmentin. Augmentin does work!!!"


"2 months in... So far, not bad.  I was prescribed norethindrone as an alternative to combination oral contraceptives because of the severe migraines with aura that I get with other oral medicines. I like this new pill. We use it in conjunction with other birth control methods because I'm not entirely comfortable with it.

Side effects for me:

Initial 7 pound weight gain (that I'm losing as my body adjusts), initial emotional out bursts (also going away), nausea, diarrhea (daily), very light period, less Acne. Trouble achieving orgasm. No cramping!
Less intense headaches, fewer migraine symptoms.

Overall, it works for us."


"So... I hate this stuff.
This morning I took the second bottle. It stayed down for about 30 minutes before I projectile vomited all of it into the toilet (which is where it would have ended up anyways I guess). I called my doc and they said to just drink water for a while.
I hate nausea more than anything. I get kidney stones on a regular basis, and I would rather deal with screaming kidneys than nausea. So this was particularly awful for me. However if you don't mind an upset stomach for a couple hours then it might not be so bad. The taste is horrific but it is definitely effective in clearing out the colon.
My colonoscopy is in an hour. I bought a pizza and ice cream for when I get back to make myself feel better about this experience."


"I was prescribed this in July of 2017 and now it’s October of 2017 and I have gained 35 pounds from this. On top of that it has done next to nothing for my migraines. Just a word of warning if you have issues losing weight or have issues gaining too much then this will be your enemy. ( it is used by people who need to increase their weight)"


"I have calf pain (mainly when sitting) due to small fiber neuropathy. I tried Neurontin, Lyrica, Cymbalta...without any luck. Tramadol provided limited relief, but not nearly enough. Finally I tried Pamelor and after a few weeks the calf pain started to dissipate. I take 100mg/day and the side effects have been pretty mild. The drowsiness tapered off after a few days, but the dry mouth and constipation go with the territory. I get occasional tinnitus as well."


"I have been using the Nuvaring for a few months now. In this time I lost my virginity and it was extremely painful and I had no sex drive. I figured the pain was just from the first time but the pain continued every time I had intercourse and I rarely even wanted to have sex; because it hurt and I had no sex drive. My boobs have grown a size and I have gained approximately 10 pounds. I thought there was something wrong with my body and the low sex drive was a symptom of depression. After reading the reviews I feel so relieved to know there's nothing wrong with me. I've decided to switch birth controls, however other than those side effects, the nuvaring has kept me from getting pregnant and regulated my period"


"Janumet 50/500 twice a day worked wonderfully on me after having dignosed with diabetes around one year back with sugar level of 332/450 and HbA1c 13.5. Now my sugar level is in a range of 100/50 with HbA1c 6.2. I am a happy man."


"I get vilolently sick. I vomit, migraine, stomach cramps and lingering headache after 24 hour period.But am so desperate sometimes I put myself through it to feel better for a couple days after. I can't take it everyday or I would never be able to leave home because of side effects."


"It is great for opiate addiction withdrawal.
And to stay off opiates. You do not have withdrawal and do not feel the opiate high while taking. I took suboxone for 6 years and zubsolv for 2. I have been off all for just over 3 weeks and finally starting to feel normal.  I do have to tell you it can get your life back together but at some point you will want to stop. Withdrawal is just as bad stopping zubsolv as opiates.
The first 9 days for me were horrible. And I knew what I was in for. Not to discourage anyone. But hang in there it will get better. You may feel like time has stopped for a couple weeks but for what its worth you'll be free and clean."


"I started taking Amox-Clav 875mg for a mild sinus infection that was causing lots of pain in my sinus cavity by my right ear. I'm on day 4 and this is awful on my stomach.  Nausea, bad taste in the back of my throat. I'm almost ready to stop taking it, don't know if I can take six more days of this but the pain by my ear is FINALLY gone."


"This drug took care of my infection but did have side effects. I took med with food but my stomach hurt after taking the med. The pain was horrible. Made it to day 9 before I connected the stomach pain to the med."


"So, a coworker told me about adipex and I was super eager to try anything to lose the extra weight. I can't post anything about results yet but I can say this: yesterday was my first dose and I immediately experienced dry mouth which can be lessened w gum chewing/drinking water. Also, I guess related to dry mouth have been told by my boyfriend my breath has a new/different (bad) smell-he's a real charmer. Energy is crazy high! But downside, I haven't slept but 2 hrs in...oh, the last 36 hrs & I have had NO DESIRE to eat. Anything.  It's really hard to force itself to eat when u have no interest. So EXTREME suppressant for me. Hoping just initial adjustment bc I won't be able to continue if have severe insomnia/anorexia.  Will update:)"


"I have HG, and I've thrown up almost every hour in the hour. I was hospitalized twice before they finally gave my Promethazine. I wasn't able to keep down the oral medication but I opted finally for the suppositories, and while it takes about 30 minutes for me to feel completely better, it's truly a life saver."


"I suffered from early waking insomnia for about twenty years. It mattered less when I was younger, I could always keep going. In the last few years it became a problem to the extent that I refused invitations/ avoid travel because I know I'll be sleepy and the anxiety of having to do something the next day made the insomnia worse. I could fall asleep quite happily at 9pm, but then wake four hours later and often not fall asleep again. I tried sleep restriction, zopiclone, various natural remedies.Nothing worked. I have now been taking doxylamine succinate for 5 weeks and it has been life changing. I take half a 25mg tablet when I wake at 1am. It takes about an hour to kick in, but then I get a further 3-4 hours sleep. Heaven."


"Had cold sores since I was 4 years old, when the core sore would first form it would feel tingly (NEVER ITCHY) and then as the cold sore grew it would be severely painful that if it was accidentally bumped into I would feel like going through the roof. sometimes it would grow as big as an adult males thumb nail and be about 1/2 inch thick. Initially I tried Lipactin Which I have to admit worked to make the cold sore a reasonable size.

All I can say is Thank-God for Abreva because of this medicine, I can put it on and my cold sore reduces to the size of a pea or even smaller.
For people that haven't had results I think it matters on how you feel when the cold sore is coming on, if yours is itchy this stuff might not work."


"RUN FROM THIS MED!! I was fine on it at first but now  it has caused headaches, severe diarrhea, tiredness and vomiting. If I would have known its side effects before in was prescribed it i would have never started taking it. I had to leave work nearly because I was so ill from it. Do not take this med. Its horrible"


"I started Chantix on 10-11-12 after being a pack and a half smoker for 30 years and to be honest I was and still in a way skeptical. I realized I needed to stop smoking when my daughter asked me if there was a cat in my belly, wheezing in my lungs from smoking. I am now on Day 2 of the second week of medication, haven't really noticed any side effects, except that the cigarettes have lost a lot of flavor. I have 1 1/2 cigarettes left of a carton and that's it. I do feel a decrease in the need to light up but it's still there. More habit then anything I guess. Wish me luck as I do for everyone trying to quit as well."


"Was okay when I was titrating  the meds up for the first 4 weeks but then had debilitating nausea. I couldn't drive because it caused motion sickness so bad, it would have not been safe for me to be driving from the constant dry heaves and dizziness. I tried for another 4 weeks but got to a point I couldn't even work or be functional at home. The day I stopped, the nausea quieted down quite a bit and by the second day 90 percent better. I felt like I was going to die while on it."


"I got diagnosed with ADHD and this is my first medicine. It helps me focus but the side effects make me miserable. I'm starving right now but I don't want to eat and my throat is dry. I can't sleep and this side effect makes it worse because I have asthma and severe allergies so I can't sleep and I have twitches bad. I twitch my left shoulder blade a lot now and sometimes it wont stop."


"I was on lutera for 7 months. First months was ok. I had really sore and enlarged breast but I thought it was normal since my body was adjusting to the birth control. On the 4th month I had anxiety and I kept brushing it off because I thought it came from work stress by the 5th and 6th month I had anxiety almost every single day! I went to the doc and they gave me anxiety meds and antidepressants. Didn't take the antidepressants because when I took one pill made me so sick! I kept on struggling with anxiety and depression. It's hard to go to work, hang with family and my boyfriend when you have depression. I got off lutera last Friday and I still feel depressed and anxious. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I start feeling normal again."


"Probably the closest to real saliva. No nasty after taste, very liquid, pressurized spray can. ONLY negative is availability. Not many stores/pharmacies carry this. Trying company web site and ebay & Amazon"


"I just spent six years in the penitentiary, as an ex drug addict this shot was offered to me as an option and alternative to other opiate blockers. So far I have taken two of the injections one while in prison and the second as I left the facility. So far so good. Some minor joint pain and a few aches. They were able to be worked thru with a little walkin and exercise. No cravings and definitely no thoughts about tryin ANY opiates after seeing the results first hand. The withdrawal it causes is life threatening. Its not worth it.the nanoxolene is good for our situations. If you really want to get clean give it a whirl!"


"My daughter has to use this for thrush that her other 50 medications cause. It helps a lot!"


"Have they changed this product I have never had such a horrible reaction before the burning is so intense I think it actually left burn marks feels like tears in my skin ? I have used this product before never had this issue ever so upset right now calling doctor in the AM Monistat is awful seven day"


"I have been using Trulicity 1.5 for almost one year (started February?).  Super easy, nearly painless injections 1x week.  Sometimes stomach hurts or a tad bit of decreased appetite.  However, nothing serious, nothing at all like the horrid Bydureon.  That was THE most aweful injections I have ever done and refuse to ever use that again!  Trulicity along with a small amount of Levemir and metformin have my blood sugars where they should be.  My biggest complaint is the cost.  OMG!!  The drug manufacturers are gouging us all!!"


"Sweating is embarrassing.   It's better  than nothing at all, but not great."


"Worked quickly and well. I learned by trial that trimming/filing away dead pieces of nail once a week when removing is key for it to work."


"I've been taking Latuda for about 3 months now for Bipolar II disorder. At first, I started out at 20 mg, and gradually increased to 80 mg. I was in a deep depression, so even within weeks of taking Latuda, I didn't feel that much better. Once my doc switched me to 80 mg, I slowly started climbing out of my depression. It was a slow recovery, but it worked. I am now 80% depression-symptom free and I feel like I'm back to my old self. I am able to function much better at work and life in general. I had restlessness as a side-effect for some time, but it slowly went away. I usually take Latuda before bedtime and haven't experienced any other side effects."


"I was prescribed Nexium after 4 months of trying every other prescription med out there, following 4 months of severe Gerd/ silent reflux symptoms. Within the first 2 days of taking Nexium the lump feeling in my throat started to go away. I am taking 40 mg of the TEVA generic Nexium and so far I feel way better. Hopefully it lasts. I was on Dexilant before 60mg once a day and it gave me about 50% symptom relief. Nexium is the best PPI I have tried for sure and I would recommend to anyone."


"Less than 2 days ago I noticed a large herpes bump on my upper lip and immedietly my heart sank. I grabbed the Abreva I had and applied it right away but I figured it was to late. My first time trying it and in less than 48 hours of application the "bump" shrunk down and has practically dissapeared. No outbreak, no redness or scabbing stage. It's like I completly skipped the entire outbreak!:) Im gonna start hordeing Abreva. 5 star experience!"

"Didn't work for me."


"It has saved my life"


"I just very recently started this birth control, and I was very wary of it at first because my experience with Loestrin Fe was TERRIBLE. But ever since I've been on this pill it's like heaven! Loestrin made me super nauseous, very moody and angry, and completely killed my sex drive. Now that I'm on Minastrin 24 Fe, I feel completely normal! I'll admit, in the beginning I was slightly moody and I have noticed a slight decrease in sex drive, but nothing too major. Overall I LOVE this birth control and I'm so happy with how it worked out for me!"


"Vyvanse is the awesomest thing that ever happened to me 4 months ago. At first I would just stare at my teachers and try to listen to them but it would just go out the other ear. But sometimes I was just down the rabbit hole daydreaming. Also when I tried to REMEMBER stuff I would get distracted because that got too boring and moved on. But on Vyvanse I can concentrate with ease. I can REMEMBER stuff without even trying to. Nothing seems boring anymore in school but I hate it how it makes me sweat a lot like under the pits .. ALOT. For me there's a major loss of appetite like I don't eat anything once I'm on it beecause food doesn't sound, look or taste good. But I do get these random cravings."


"I have suffered of frequent strong heartburn for the last 30 yrs. I purchased the 14 caps treatment and amazingly got well after the first take. 100% Recommended!"


"Have taken Vistaril for nearly 30 years for hives that seem to be associated with exposure to hot/cold temperatures or emotional stress. A 5mg dose rapidly eliminates hives and has a lasting effect for 2-3 days. My doctor gives me an annual prescription for 30, 25mg tablets which I cut into four pieces. I only take 1/4 tablet therefore this very small dose completely resolves the hives for several days with minimal side effects consisting of slight drowsiness. For me, it is a marvelous medicine. Cost, even without insurance is extremely small."


"I'm a 40 yr old female and I've been on several different medicines before Vyvanse. I have now been on Vyvanse for about 6 months (100mg )and it has by far been the best. I even had my 14 yr. old son switched to it and he's doing better also. He has been on several that have worked for awhile then stopped. At first you might feel a little strange, but that goes away within a couple weeks. If you have this, I highly recommend trying this."


"I have been on Effexor XR for about a year, after switching from Paxil. It is a scary thing to read all these reviews, and question about whether you should or should not take it. I personally started for anxiety, and it has helped tremendously. To me having panic attacks is not a fun task, yes are there side effects but everything you put into your body does. Please try what your doctor recommends before you read all the reviews."


"This is our second month on Daytrana for my 5 year old, who used to have many problems in school: getting into trouble, not sitting, hitting other kids, etc... It takes about 2 hrs to kick in but what a difference. He is evenly calm and listens, no violent outbursts or being hateful. He was on Focalin XR for 9 mos. too much trouble with capsules, had to grind beads and put in his drinks to drink. Having trouble at school to take second dose, he refused. Don't like red skin irritations, putting baby oil, lotion, and Neosporin as it is itchy and he scratches, breaking skin. Easy to put on at 6 am while he is still sleeping so it can kick in by 8 am when school starts. Wonderful!"


"I've been on Dilantin for about 20 years and it works for me."


"This medicine has been extremely effective for me. After the 1st dose I could feel a difference.  It has also helped with anxiety and depression. There are a few side effects such as night sweats, nausea, vivid dreams. Hopefully they will decrease with time, this is only my 3rd week on it."


"I gave it a two star because while it was the worst birth control ever.. I didn't get pregnant. I guess it did its job.

The side effects are simply not worth it.

Within the first week, I was breaking out more than I did when I was going through puberty.. and not just the small pimples. I'm talking painful, cystic acne. My cramps were amplified x5, I had the worst pms, and the tenderness of my breasts was almost unbearable. I couldn't even sleep comfortably. I thought it would go away once my body adjusted. NO.

I got off of it and notice all my symptoms had vanished.

I started using my old birth control again (which I stopped using because it caused me to bloat a lot) but I would rather bloat than feel what I felt on Lo loestrin."


"Works well for sleep. However, I'm prescribed it for Nocturnal panic attacks (panic that wakes me up) & it definitely does the trick. I gave it 9/10 bc I will actually end up having an attack shortly after it kicks in. Usually lasts 5-10 mins before I fall asleep."


"The only medication that stops my paralyzing panic attacks. Generally works within 10 minutes. Side effects are non-existent."


"I have taken Celexa (started at 40 mg now at 20 mg) since I was 18 and have learned that it has been very beneficial in helping me maintain a positive mood.  Along with a healthy diet and exercise I know that Celexa will probably be a part of my life forever.  The only side effects I experience are frequent yawning and occasional sleepiness.  Sleepiness is less of an issue if I take the medication at the same time of day consistently (late afternoon.)"


"Do NOT use Suprep unless your doctor scales the dosage for your weight. I weigh about 130 pounds, but was prescribed the typical two 6-oz bottles dosage. First round went OK; started going about 20 minutes after finishing the dose.  Then it was off and on the toilet all the way to 8:15, so I only had about 45 min. break before starting the 2nd dose.

Then all hell broke loose.  First toilet run started about 30 min after 2nd dose.  Then I got hit with waves of nausea, and finally projectile vomiting at the same time as expelling through rectum. Including vomiting blood, which doctor said was due to esophagus tear from violent vomiting. Nurse said they should never prescribe same amount of fluid for 130 lb person as someone twice my size"


"I have very bad treatment resistant depression/anxiety. I was on Prozac for a year and it worked wonders until I had to keep going up in dose and the side effects were just to bad. Since I have been put on Lexapro, Welbutrin, Vyvanse, and Lamictal none worked like the Prozac. Recently my doctor put back on Prozac, 20mg and added 15mg Deplin. Prozac usually take a month or longer to feel the effects, especially on a low dose. After two weeks I felt good already with no side effects! In fact my sex drive has actually increased. 20mg was never enough for me before and with Deplin it's perfect. I'm so happy."


"I have been on NuvaRing for 1 week.  In the past, I've not been able to take hormonal birth control because it zaps my libido and makes orgasm difficult to achieve.  With NuvaRing, since the dosage of hormones is small, I have had no decrease in libido (yeah!) and I'm able to achieve orgasm just as easily as before (woohoo!).  When NuvaRing is in, I can't feel it during sex and neither can my partner. In my book, I give a big thumbs up! I think it's important to recognize that not all birth control works the same for everyone. Most people who think of posting a review, it's because they've had a negative experience. I think you have to try for yourself and see how your body responds."


"I hate this birth control.  I start spotting a week into my period every month (on it 3 months now) and have to wear a liner at all times.  Horrible mood swings, no sex drive (the dark brown spotting all month doesn't help), and is barely covered by birth control.  Still would have had to pay $70 out of pocket each month if I wanted to continue on it, which I don't.  Will be switching back to Ocella as soon as I can, which didn't have any of these side effects.  I got a 6-month sample of Lo Loestrin Fe and will be throwing out the remaining 3 months."


"It is 8/2/15 and I just started them today. I am 5'5 1/4 according to the navy and weigh 250. I go to the gym 5 days a week and lose body fat just not weight. I have known people who have lost 20 pounds in a week doing nothing so I am hoping for the best and everyone on here seems to have good results"


"There were many positives to Alesse (I was on the generic - Aviane). This was about my 4th or 5th kind of BC pill, as I tend to have issues and side effects with most others. The only side effects I had on this were spotty, random periods, and acne. I can handle the breakthrough bleeding, but the acne was just awful. I have acne prone skin, and Yaz totally cleared it up, but made me gain weight. When I switched to Alesse, I lost weight (not entirely due to changing the pill) but my acne came back horribly. I am going to switch soon. I didn't have any mood swings. I have some cramps during my period. It didn't mess with my sex drive (Yaz killed it). I would recommend this ONLY if you don't have issues with acne."


"I've had Crohn's for years and diagnosed with arthritis my doctors said Humira would be the answer. After 6mo's of taking the 40mg pen, I can't say I'm feeling any better. The biggest problem is I'm in more pain than ever just in different places, and I have gained 25lbs since starting Humira. My nurse ambassador says pain and weight gain are not one of the side effects so I'm still taking the Humira. I'd like to know if anyone else has had these two problems while taking Humira? More pain and weight gain, please let me know.

Thank you"


"Made me sleepy, but sleep was still elusive.  These drugs made me so constipated, even laxatives couldn't get things moving."


"I had the Mirena inserted 7 months ago. I took 800 mg of Ibuprofen beforehand and experienced only minor pain upon insertion. I had some mild cramping throughout that day, but afterwards none. I still have fairly regular periods--every month, light bleeding with a little bit of cramping. I was told that after about 6 months my periods would probably disappear, but I'm still waiting for that to happen. No weight gain, acne, or change in mood or libido. I love it! Very satisfied."


"My neurologist started me out on 10 mg of Elavil and within a couple of weeks I began taking 25 mg. It took about a month for it to take effect but until then I had a headache almost every single day. After that, nothing. So, yes, it was very effective for me. The only side effects that I noticed were increased appetite (very much so) and weight gain. I gained about 12-14 pounds within the 4.5 months that I was on Elavil. Normally this wouldn't be a problem. To be honest the added pounds was worth being pain free, but my wedding was in a few months and nothing besides going off the medication would stop the weight gain. Now I'm taking Topamax, which is doing the job but the side effects are way more drastic than Elavil."


"I am on lexapro since I was 16, so for the past basically five years I've struggled with anxiety. My doctor decided about three weeks ago to give me ativan as a "break the glass kind of emergency" immediate anxiety relief. I've only used it twice since then and I don't know how to describe this medicine other than quiet. It makes everything so quiet. and for someone with anxiety, its a miracle. I've learned what the on-set of an attack looks like, and by taking this medicine within thirty minutes I am calm, collected and have completely avoided what might have been a mental breakdown. Honestly, this drug is such a life saver. It does make you a little sleepy but nothing at all unbearable. I can take it any time of the day. its amazing."


"I'm currently 21 and I've had Nexplanon for just over 2 years now (since 15th June 2015) and have had absolutely no problems with it. Possibly the best decision I've ever made.
Obviously all BC affects everyone differently, but for me I've experienced no mood swings, I haven't had a proper period or cramping in 2 years now (I've had maybe 4/5 occurrences of extremely light spotting in 2 years -lasting no more than a day each- and even that was mainly just slightly pink discharge), I haven't noticed any weight gain from it (but I was gaining weight regardless because I started University and lived off take-outs).
I'll be getting it replaced a few months before it's due just to be sure. I love it, though."


"I took Chantix in 2006.  I was 46 years old with a 30 year smoking history which found me at 2 packs a day by 2006.  In less than 10 days, I had quit smoking, no withdrawals and have never had a desire to smoke in the 11 years that I am smoke free.  I never thought I would quit let alone go 11 years without a desire to ever smoke again."


"Used this product for 2 years. BE CAREFUL. It was very effective in clearing ALL of my acne. As a result of this cream, I previously got seborrheic dermatitis which I had to cure with antibiotics and it gave me a scar. It also made my skin swollen and the scar more visible, it feels as if it stops your skin from repairing and keeps stripping it of all moisture even if moisturising constantly. It makes your skin very dry.  I stopped using it two weeks ago as I thought the side effects outweigh the positives and my skin feels much better. The scar is less visible and healing. Currently using glycolic acid with differin and I'm on the dretine contraceptive pill, moisturising with mango butter (non-comedogenic) - very effective."


"I have just come to this realization today and I can't believe I didn't notice it sooner....

After switching from a discontinued pill to Gildess my pharmacy has rotated generics from Gildess to Junel to Blisovi Fe 1/20, and so forth. Mainly those three. Over the past two years I have also struggled with anxiety. I have just realized that my crippling panic attacks and 95% of my anxiety issues occur when I am taking Blisovi fe 1/20. I CANNOT WAIT TO TALK TO MY DOCTOR AND GET AWAY FROM THESE PILLS."


"A nurse practitioner gave me samples. I took one pill, cleaned me out within an hour. After that I had watery diarrhea all day. My head felt weird and I don't mean lightheadedness, I mean like something was wrong, like I just got abducted by aliens and they were trying to read my mind type feeling. Also when I went to sleep I had a nightmare about my one year old drowning. The last nightmare I had was in 2010 so something is clearly not right with me being on this medicine. I have not taken another pill since then. "


"Awesome."


"I started to have acne since I was 12-13, it was really bad at that time for about a year then gone.Then just 6 months ago ( i'm now 22) my acne came back and keep getting worst and worst. I tried over the counter cream, micro demabrasion, doxycycline, all types of topical antibiotics. Nothing works :( then i went to my dematologist and was getting ready to go on accutance but then she told me that i should have try bactrim ds + epiduo first, for 3 months and see how they go. And they work out greatttt. I don't have any new break out at all after about a month on those pills. Now it just some red marks left and that will be faded soon if i keep using the epiduo. Try these combo, not epiduo by itself, it only works great with the bactrim."


"I was not feeling the effects until two weeks on chantix but shortly after I started not caring if I smoked a cigarette. It became more of a habit then need. I have been smoking for 13 years and have tried the patches, gum and electronic cigarette nothing worked like this. I have successfully quit and haven't felt the need to smoke even around other smokers."


"This worked very well but I had bad nausea and diarrhea so 2 months in almost ALL my psoriasis was gone.  So I stopped taking it for a week, the side effects were gone, BUT the psoriasis just returned, and worse.  If you can handle feeling like you want to throw up all the time and soil yourself at any given time, try it.  What they don't tell you in the ads is, yeah it works, but you'll probably have to take this med for the rest of your life.  If you stop, the psoriasis will return even worse.  Anyway, this has been my experience."


"I have been taking the generic for Ambien for a about 6 mths, I have a number of dieases and am now on a mild chemo ,I have alot of pain all of the time, so sleeping is hard, Ambiem works, though I would never take it with out first making sure you follow all of the instructions! If you don't you can expect trouble with the side affects, I know I have, you can not take it and not get in your bed for the night with no distractions what so ever. I take it off and on & it's working great for me!"


"I got skyla about two weeks ago. I read reviews the night before and was horrified but prepared. The insertion was horribly painful!! I had horrible cramps, sick to my stomach, and dizzy for a few hours after. the pill was making me sick and emotional  but not so far with skyla. The only negative things I experience now from skyla is horrible random cramps daily and I've been spotting ever since.  But I'm not pregnant still that's a plus."


"I was on alesse for the last 2.5 years - my cramps calmed down quite a bit but I was still spotting (but without BC I would have 7 day periods and terrible cramps, I also have fibroids). My doctor suggested that I change pills since I should have stopped spotting and put me on tricyclean. I was on this pill for two months and although I did not have spotting, I noticed that it caused major mood swings, depression, weight gain (10 pounds), tenderness in breast, and my skin has changed (occasional pimple and normal skin, I started to have red bumps, pimples and oily). I've decided to stop using this pill as it is not for me.
My doctor has suggested I go on this new pill called "LOLO" by actavis. I can't find much on it and will prob not use it."


"There are few side effects no loss of hair just fatigue and low white and red cell count.  Been on it for three months and have three months more to go.  Take good 3 wkd off one week. So far good compared to vomiting, extreme fatigue and hair loss from the Cisplatin that I was taking last year.  Thank u Jesus."


"I am 31 years old. 5' 3" and 140 pounds. I have a 26 day cycle and had sex on day 16 (which was supposedly my last fertile day according to my tracker). The condom slipped off and didn't realized until after ejaculation had taken place. Some of the semen was deposited into the condom but did not want to take that chance. I took the pill one hour after and the second dose 12 hours later. I started having symptoms about 4 days after taking it, I had an extreme amount of white discharge, my mood at first was very aggressive and a full week into it I started crying for everything which was extremely annoying. I for sure thought I was pregnant. Had a few cramps and some breast tenderness. My period came right on time. I hope my review will ease someone's mind"


"Viibryd has been an effective medicine for me. I've never been on a anti-depressant before and was a bit weary of being on one for my newly diagnosed depression. Thanks to my doctor he told me how to take this properly to avoid negative issues and have success.  I started 10mg for 2 weeks and 20mg the next to weeks. I did have stomach issues but he told me I would because of a chemical called serotonin that is made in the stomach but travels to the nervous system to regulate my mood "strange"  therefore I would feel gassy but did go away after a week my body adjusting. Also strange was despite gassy feeling I was out with friends who I surprised with my presence at another friends party.  It felt good to be out!  I am staying on 20mg."


"Cleocin prescribed for abscessed molar. 500mg 3x daily. Very effective without significant side effects."


"I have been on Tikosyn for ten years and it is really working great for me. The only down spot is if you miss three doses you have to be hospitalized and cleaned out of the Tikosyn and reintroduced to the medicine. Otherwise it has really worked great with my and my pacemaker/defibrillator."


"I'm 27 and have two children. I have had issues with other forms of birth control in the past (weight gain, insomnia, acne, etc.), but I have handled this very well. I have lost weight on it (lower than pre-pregnancy weight) and my skin is clear. I chose this over Mirena, because Nexplanon's main form of preventing pregnancy is through preventing ovulation. I would have given a "10", but I didn't have a period for five months and then I randomly had one that lasted two weeks straight. Also, there are times when my scar hurts. It is rare, but it can happen. I also have a friend who has been off of it for a year and still can't get pregnant. It's a gamble- it can be awesome or terrible."


"Remicade has stopped the flares of UC although I remain on Asacol.  As far as helping with the inflammatory arthritis symptoms I would have to say I see little to no relief.  Hard to judge though when one is on it.  Don't know if it would be worse now if I were not on it."


"It was instrumental in helping me to focus on my studies and finish my assignments in record time which opened up time for me to start the startup that is blossoming now. Now I use Modafinil to stave off fatigue from jetlag as I now travel to Europe often for various conferences, investor meetings, and vacation. Not only are my awake hours more efficient and effective, which helps my personal and health as well, but also they last longer. "


"Had Hepatitis C. Did 38 week treatment of interferon, riboviron,and bocepresis. Cure week 3, did 3 month and 6 month blood work after end of treatment. Cured. So cool."


"On Zonegran now,  looking forward to trying Propranolol."


"I have been fighting hiccups off and on for weeks. Was prescribed Thorazine, have been somewhat reluctant to take it 3"


"The first week I felt good but then nauseous all day...MIGRAINE and lack of sleep.  Expensive too."


"I started Victoza 8 months ago & have lost 83 pounds.  I am woman 57 years old, 5'6" & weighed 290.  I have been obese since early childhood.  I have dieted all of my life. This is the first time I have been successful at weight loss.

Yes there are side effects, but with the weight falling off of me this fast, I don't care.   I woke up this morning weighing 216 so I don't care if I feel nauseas. I haven't weight 216 in 35 years.  When I feel nauseas now is first thing in the morning before my shot.

I do start feeling a bit hungry in the evenings when the shot starts wearing off, so I try to inject 12 hours prior to bed time.

The reason I'm succeeding is because I decided to change my eating habits, log my food, walk & drink water."


"I have been taking Junel Fe for several months now, it is very similar from Nortrel. I have no "weight gain, no emotional or mental problems, no anxiety attacks or feel like I am floating," lol These pills are awesome, I even take them so I don't get a period and I haven't had a period in 6 months. AMAZING! I recommended these to my two sisters already who are making the switch and would gladly recommend these to anyone. Junel Fe does the job completely."


"I had Implanon inserted in May of 2009. I was a little scared at first because I was reading all the side effects and reviews. I absolutely LOVE the Implanon Birth Control. I had not weight gain, no mood swings, and no acne.  When I first got it I bleed regularly for about 6 months. It stopped, but since year 2 of me having it, I have had a regular period monthly that only last about 5 days. It is very, very effective...(believe me, it has been proven several times). I would recommend this to anyone that still wants kids, but wants them a little spread out in years."


"I was diagnosed with Stage IV Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) in April 2009, and told by my primary care physician that my prognosis was approximately 6-9 months, perhaps a year. I found an oncologist that specialized in RCC and was told that this was the only course of action that had the potential to cure, not just stall the progression of my cancer. After 3 courses, I have had a complete response - no detectable cancer for 6 months so far."


"Took care of the positive effects of schizo and most of the negative ones.  Gave me medicine induced akathisia, which I take propranolol for.  That is the only reason I gave 8/10"

"If I could give a 0- I would!
22, chronic, idiopathic constipation since I was 14. Given 24mcg of amitiza twice daily for 1 month. NOTHING HAPPENED.
Very very frustrating! Was really looking forward to it working so I could stop taking laxatives in bulk but no dice. Very disheartened.
Onto Linaclotide (linzess)...."


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

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

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

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

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


"This medication for me was ok, it gave me less side effects than other antidepressants. I was prescribed it for Major Depressive Disorder along with BPD and anxiety. It seemed to make me a bit null at first then it helped me think more clearly, less invaded by suicidal thoughts, etc. I do take it along with quetiapine (an antipsyscotic) and it seems to meld well with it ."


"For those who has been having anemia or low blood pressure problem (esp ladies), Quetiapine lowered blood pressure and blood sugar level and that causes me feel light-headed, dizziness, fainting spell and developed slight vertigo. Check your blood pressure and discuss with your doctor before taking Quetiapine. I've stopped taking it for more than 1 week and my symptoms of dizziness and fainting spells slowly subsided."


"Don't use mirena.  It caused me hives and I was terrible itchy. Keep away."


"Working so far."


"I'm 18 years old and am having a colonoscopy. I have trouble drinking things that taste gross and salt water even in the ocean makes me gag. Weeks of being terrified and hearing all the horror stories associated with this bowel prep, I finally got to the day before my appointment. I purchased the Moviprep and poured the first packet into a 1L bottle and MIXED IN 4 CRYSTAL LIGHT LEMON LIME packets and shook it all up and put it in the fridge.  When the time came to drink it, it went down easy, unlike many of the other people I have read, and it just tasted overly sweet. It did have a slight after taste of salt, so keep a glass of 7UP beside you to wash it away."


"This medicine has changed my life: it is a 100% surefire defense against debilitating migraines.  I can actually feel it pushing the headache out of my head. One word of caution, however: in the rare instance I feel a headache coming on and don't have my meds with me (or, more likely, am out of them since the insurance allows only a 9-pill script), the headache that I do get is OFF THE CHARTS.  It's almost like the migraine monster knows I have no defense."


"This medicine has got me off herion after a 10 year battle. I am clean and have been clean since taking it. Who cares what people say if you are an addict get on Suboxone. "


"Works great but goes out for me quickly.  Always feel like dose should be raised but can't due to swelling and weight gain."


"I started taking Cipralex 3 weeks ago for depression, severe anxiety/social anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder-like behavior and an eating disorder.

I know it's only been 3 weeks but I cannot even BEGIN to describe how thankful I am that I finally got the help I needed. I feel FANTASTIC. The obsessive, anxious thoughts have gone away, and the giant hamster wheel spinning in my head at 1 million miles per hour has finally stopped. I can think, I can breathe, I can function.

Thank you Cipralex."


"Three days ago, I went to the dermatologist for the first time. I have a modest severe problem with acne and have been using all kinds of over the counter acne products like Neutrogena, Clearasil, Clean and Clear, etc. She said that I have been wasting a lot a lot of money on the acne products I have used in the past, just because they are all the same . She put me on Doryx 150 MG, Differin 0.3%, and also told me to wash my face with Cetaphil. I can say that my acne scars, which I have on both cheeks, have faded a little and the size of my pimples have gotten smaller. She said that the first month is going to be the worst because I will breakout but should see a big improvement the second month. I am really depending on this to work! "


"I've always suffer with anxiety, but I've been able to control it. I've been out of work for 3 weeks, with a phobia of going back, because I had a panic attack, & I was exposed, and people were watching. My secret was out. Rewind - 3 weeks ago I had a kidney infection, I was in the hospital for 5 days, home for 5 days, then went directly back to a stressful job. That's where it happened the attack.. people were surrounding me and causing me more stress, I was put back in the hospital. I'm now on buspar, and xanax. Buspar I have my negative thoughts on that, not sure it's helping or not dizzy spells. But the Xanax does help with the anxiety. It makes me super sleepy and groggy. I'm seeing a therapist and psychiatrist, pray 4 me"


"I had all of the horrible symptoms of menopause.  Some list include 32 - that was me.  Sweating, weight gain, hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings.....on and on.
One month on Angeliq - all gone.  I am so happy.  This has made me a new woman."


"I have had issues with birth control pills for about 10 years now. Constantly changing because my body couldn't tolerate the dosage, every side affect you can image I've had. I finally changed doctors since my old one basically gave up on me and she realized the very low dose bc were the root cause of the problem.  After putting me on this bc I feel like my normal self again and no side affects at all- literally life changing!!! Hopefully never have to switch again!!!"


"Clinical depression following IVF, which we stopped. In mental health hospital for 4 months. On lots of antidepressants over 6 months plus. Nothing helped until venlafaxine. Began to improve 6 weeks after taking it. Still on low dose 7 years later."


"My experience on Loryna has not been a good one. I originally had been on Yaz and Beyaz and had no issues at all! I thought they were miracle pills! I'm in my late thirties and wanted a birth control to help with my moods, breakouts, and period. Unfortunately, Loryna did the opposite for me. After five months of taking it I have decided to stop. I had bleeding for 2 months straight, acne breakouts on my chest, back, and face. And a ton of pain! As if my uterus was contracting constantly. I finished my last pack/pill and have stopped. Within 2 days of stopping, the bleeding stopped, the pain is gone and my skin is clearing up. I'm not sure why this happened but I'm finding generic birth controls are different from the brand. It's frustrating!"


"After a week, 18 pounds gone, inflammation and water I am sure mostly. However, I am NOT eating everything I see, I am not continuously hungry in as along as I can remember.
Importantly, can move again. See the physican in five days, see how I am doing."


"THIS STUFF WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Had sex with my boyfriend on the day I was meant to be ovulating and then condom came off and we didn't realize. He came inside me and we freaked out and went straight to the chemist! I took it within an hour of the incident. I had to wait 2 weeks for my period to come and it was the longest wait of my life! I'm above the apparent "weight limit" and it still worked. I was also taking antibiotics at the time and it still worked fine. Just remember to take it as soon as possible!!! Please to any girls who are reading this stay calm. I was a nervous wreck, I couldn't sleep or eat for 2 weeks but it was all for nothing!"


"I have been on tresiba since June of 2015. After a couple weeks I adjusted fine to tresiba and love it. However in September of 2015 I began to develop stomach problems. At first I didn't think anything of it, however it has only become worse over time. I had a colonoscopy done in June of 2016. Dr found nothing wrong. Also had a MRI done later last summer in which I had to drink a dye. Once again found nothing wrong. June of this year I had a upper endoscopy and once again nothing was found. I feel like my stomach is going to explode. And I feel nauseous, however have never thrown up. Just wondering if anyone else has had these problems."


"Doctor prescribed 50 mg for insomnia (with anxiety).  She said I could increase the dosage if necessary.  I have tried the prescribed dosage four times.  Three of the four times I had nightmares to the point of screaming aloud.  One time, my husband could not wake me up.  The next mornings I do not feel good; I do not feel rested.  I am not going to use this Rx anymore but asking the doctor for an alternative."


"I love this medicine. I have moderate anxiety and sleeping problems. I get the 100 mg tablets and take a couple if I'm feeling anxious during the day and up it at night if I can't sleep. I love the ability to determine how many mg's I am taking and since I weigh only 100lbs, most prescriptions do make me sick. I highly recommend this medicine. It has not made me feel drowsy or foggy at all. It simply calms everything down."


"I have reflux and had continuing issues while taking nexium. My GI Doc put me back on Aciphex and my problems are gone within 3 days."


"Suffered severe liver problems. Almost hospitalized for liver failure. Once taken off, liver functions returned to normal in 4-6 weeks. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG"


"I had lots of comedones and just plain old acne. The creams my doctor prescribed were no longer working and I went to the dermatologist. He prescribed Duac in the morning and Retin-A 0.1% at night. He told me Duac kills current breakouts and prevents them. Within three days, my acne was already drying up and going away. My face was pretty dry and burned for the first week so it took a while to get used to the medicine. It's been about two months now and my skin is pimple free and now my acne scars/redness is still fading. I'm very happy with this medicine although it is quite pricey ($70 with insurance for me). Dermatologist also recommended the VaniCream gentle cleansing bar to wash my face with and it's great and gentle!"


"I have only been on this med for two and a half weeks and have already lost eight pounds!  Before I started taking Contrave, losing weight was an impossibility.  I am on meds that make me gain weight and I tend to binge eat.  I am now making healthy choices and my portions are half of what they used to be and I feel full.  Sometimes I notice a bad side effect. But the overall effect of this medication has been great!  I have less depression and more motivation.  Even my light workouts are better.  I feel so pumped to see what the course of treatment brings!  Losing weight for me is priceless.  I have fatty liver disease, high blood pressure and a back injury.  All would be a lot better if I lost weight.  So far so good!"


"I went to the Dr after 3 days because my chest hurts so much from coughing. This helped with pain but the cough never stops. I need sleep. First night I had full body chills/shakes for a few hours. Then tried to get up and was hit with nausea and extreme thirst. Got very little sleep, Just went through second night and I got nausea and extreme thirst. Think I am going to stop tonight need sleep. No side effects during day except coughing 24/7."


"Military Combat veteran with previous history of trauma. After ten years of talk therapy, Zoloft cut panic attacks almost to nothing, also brought about a lot of memories, and real therapy finally began.

Erectile dysfunction curbed with Buruprion daily and Viagra for intercourse.

It took 4 days for side effects to wear off, it took about three months for therapeutic benefits - went back to school, made friends, found a girlfriend etc."


"I have been on this pill for 3 months now and I LOVE IT! At first my moods were wacky and my boobs hurt really bad but I'm finally adjusted and it's amazing. No accidental pregnancy. And LIGHTER PERIODS!! This pill is a winner in my book."


"Fantastic. I quit smoking after over 20 years."


"It gave me my life back and in the UK it's totally free."


"So I've had a roller coaster experience with this BC...
1. Tri-Sprintec: summer 2013 - 2014 (21/22 years old) - cleared my skin flawlessly within a month, stayed clear for a whole year
2. Tri-Previfem: summer 2014 to spring 2015 - took three months to only partially clear my skin, had to switch prescriptions because of a new gyno
3. Tri-Linyah: spring 2015 - took two month to nearly completely clear my skin
4. Tri-Sprintec (again): present - it has been 4 months and I have never had worse acne in my life. I have terrible cystic acne all over my cheeks and some on my jawline. My forehead, nose, and chin remain clear so I know its all hormonal acne. I will be switching back to Tri-Linyah in the hopes that I can get my clear skin back :("


"Major nasal congestion and outbreaks in hives it's not worth it."


"My Psychiatrist put me in 50mg Pristiq for compulsive, regular binge eating and anxiety/depression.  The first week I was on it, my anxiety-ridden thoughts about food changed completely and I lost interest in binge eating, so I have lost a few pounds so far.  I was extremely happy, with virtually no anxiety.  I am now on week 2, and the anxiety is starting to creep back in and I'm not quite as happy, so I will be discussing increasing my dosage with my doctor.  The loss of interest in food has persisted.  Overall, I think this medication is great and I plan to stay on it."


"Great for migraine. Haven't found anything better than it so far except Stadol, Demerol or Nubain, which we all know no one can function daily on those other meds."


"Immediate relief for UTI. About 10 years experience with Cipro."


"So the first dose didn't do a single thing but make me have gas so bad my back was killing Me! Just did my second dose so I am hoping and praying this Works! I'm on the fence about this product"


"This medicine is the best thing that ever happened to me....it has done wonders for my Rosacea!!"


"I switched to this BC based on the recommendation from my Dr; I was looking for a contraceptive that would help with my acne. My previous bc made me hormonal and emotional, as in all of my emotions were on the extremes and I also experienced heightened anxiety and depression. After switching to this brand I saw an evening out of my emotions and anxiety gradually as my body got used to the switch. I didn't experience any negative side effects at first, but over time as my body has gotten used to the bc I started to gain weight and my emotions are starting to become touchy again, especially during my period. Considering I got this for my acne, I've only noticed a slight difference, but that may also be due to other changes I have made."


"My 3 year nexplanon expires this February 2016. 25 y/o I got it put in a month after my twins were born not sure about my post pregnancy weight but I averaged about 130-138. First year no periods really but my breast were flat!! I thought it was from breast feeding, but my gyno stated it was probably caused by the progesterone after the first year or so they did "plump" back up. I had mood swings, dry hair/skin, moderate acne. Never extreme bleeding. Antibiotic's would often time cause my period to start. Period became regulated right in the middle of the second year and I was able to track it. I developed cyst inside of my ovaries that became quite painful but reduced in size on their own. Increase in yeast infections, vaginal dryness."


"Update to my weight loss experience, I'm 51, 5'5" female, 3 kids, started Qysmia 9/9/13 at 198 lbs.  This morning, Nov. 7, I weighed in at 173 lbs. Lost 25 lbs in 2 months!   Eating 1200 calories a day, drinking lots of diet tea.  Still have occasional tingling in toes, but thats it.  Weight loss is about a pound a week but thats probably the healthiest way to go and I'm not feeling hungry or deprived.  I eat what I want, just less, BUT drink a BIG glass of tea before eating!  Cost - yes expensive - but you're cutting back calories so it is the cost of one Big Mac Meal or its equal.  I'm VERY happy with my results!!!"


"Has worked for 5 years.. no side effects!"


"I have been a smoker for 35 years of 20-30 cigarettes a day. Never seriously tried to quit until my doctor warned me that cessation is an absolute must. I didn't believe I'd be able to do it since the cravings were tremendous, and were over-riding all rational thought.

I Started taking Champix.

Within two weeks I noticed that cigarettes weren't as pleasurable as before, and started to ask myself it was actually worth the effort to go out and buy another pack - I realized then that the drug has effectively eradicated all PHYSICAL dependence, and that allowed me to focus  on the behavioral aspects of my addiction. I have not smoked a cigarette since 3 months ago. Still have occasional cravings, but quite weak and gone after a few seconds,"


"This is an update from a couple of months ago.  I started Contrave on 3-27-15. Just shy of 7 months later I have lost 81 lbs. This has absolutely been a miracle pill for me. I have tried dozens of different things my whole life to lose weight. I have been obese since early childhood and was, though I didn't know before I started the Contrave, OBSESSED with food. That stopped within the first couple of weeks. My appetite decreased tremendously. I mostly eat small meals now. I only have one dessert a month. The only long term side effect I've had is constipation and I just take two stool softeners a day.  I was on the verge of having bariatric surgery and am now so relieved because I feel as if I have a non-surgical option that actually works."


"I was on Yaz for about 4 months. In the beginning, it was terrible.  I've never been so depressed, moody. I almost lost my fiancé because of it.  Even now, while I'm still on it, I cry often and feel depressed and insecure.  However, it didn't make me gain weight, which was my issue with other birth controls in the past. I just switched today to Reclepsin, so we'll see how it goes, but the SEVERITY of my depression on Yaz can't be stressed enough. It killed me! (And caused me to bleed out on my wedding, honeymoon, and for two weeks after... so much for sex, right?)"


"This was the first IUD I've ever tried, no kids and wasn't planning on getting it so I didn't take any ibuprofen. I had it placed in June, cramps from insertion lasted a full 2 weeks with spotting everyday. Spotting later turned into daily bleeding and following up with OBGYN, I've now been bleeding a straight 3 months and go in next week for another ultrasound and plan on having it removed. Terrible experience hurt really bad getting it in and now I'm sure will hurt to get it removed. The strings like fishing line so I could feel them as well which was sort of annoying"


"I got the Mirena after my Son was born. While I was using the Mirena I had no periods at all for the five years. Now I have my tubes tied, my periods are coming back as bad as they were before I had kids. Sometimes I can't even move the first day of my period...So my Doc. told me I can go back and get the Mirena put back in! I go next week for this and I can't wait! I hope it goes as smoothly as it did the first time I had it, never had any problems except maybe weight gain but I don't know if it was due to the birth control or not."


"I'm 23 years old and have tried all types of birth control and always had break through bleeding. I have no children and don't plan on having them so I my doctor and I decided to try Mirena. I had cramping for a day and after that my first months period was 1 day. Exactly 28 days later I had my 2nd period very light for 3 days. Everything seems to be going well besides the occasional bleeding. I hope this miracle birth control continues to do well. So far it's the best solution I have found after years of trying."


"Terrible.  I have diarrhea, leg and foot cramps, blood pressure dips of 98 over 85. Heart rate of 125."


"I started on Sub 1 1/2 ago. My addiction blew up after a cancer dx. Sub caused mouth sores. I should have never ever started on these medications! Once an addict always an addict! The wean process is pure hell! I feel like this must be what heroin addicts go through in jail. I hate myself for agreeing to this. Don't do it! It's so hard to get off. You think Vicodin is hard just wait.
I was happy too when I first started. Soon the addict in you will take a couple more in a day. U can't be on it forever. The pain from weaning is no joke! U will abuse this & come up short I promise youI!!"


"When I was experiencing erection problems my doctor recommended Staxyn. It worked great for use and allowed my wife and I to have extended session. I even felt the effects the next morning, if too much time hadn't passed."


"Excess fluid was aspirated from my knee prior to SynViscOne injection.  My doctor informed me that numbing was not recommended.  Aspiration and injection were not very painful at all - just the initial "pinch."  Swelling was minimal but pain lasted almost a week.  10 days into it, knee is feeling much better.  I would do this again."


"I was prescribed Dilaudid 2mg every 3-4 hrs for pain management, in conjunction with 15mg of morphine every 12 hours. I tolerate it well. I had bilateral full knee replacements on 11-7-11. This pain management combination, using the Dilaudid 1 hour prior to 2x daily physical therapy took the edge off and allowed greater range of flexibility and the ability to push that extra extension and additional bend to these tight new knee caps.  Now, almost 3 weeks out, though still on the 30mg total morphine per 24 hrs and Dilaudid 2mg tabs 2x a day (pre-PT), I am walking with a cane, able to go short periods cane-less. I think Dilaudid was a coup for me. I can't do any oxycodone. Exercise in prep for this procedure, it matters. You'll thank me."


"I have been on Aviane for a year and a half now and LOVE it.  I've tried every birth control method possible from the IUD, Nuva Ring, Ortho, the patch and this is what works best for me.  Every person is different, but this pill for me has not given me side effects that are noticeable.  About a week before my period I have a day or two, where I am a little more sensitive than normal, but nothing that isn't tolerable.  Periods are super light and short, lasting no more than 3-4 days.  As far as weight gain, I have not noticed any extra weight, working out maintains that.  Overall, the best birth control pill I have ever been on.  I used to not be able to take other pills because they made me feel sick, but these do not!"


"I have had this implant for 2 months now and I am still bleeding. ..I love to have sex with my boyfriend but I'm afraid that he will end up cheating on me because of the lack of sex due to me bleeding all the time....This truly sucks..I do not like this at all. They lied to me at the doctors office when they said that there will be little to no bleeding. I would not recommend this at all."


"This medicine helped for fibromyalgia but caused hallucinations and fatigue."


"My only actual complaint was that it occasionally makes me feel sick and I gained a good portion of weight, but other than that, I have so far been pleased with the implant as far as birth control goes."


"I have been on Qsymia since late September 2016. So far I have lost 26 lbs. This medication has helped cut my cravings. Nothing I have tried in the past has worked this well. It's not without side effects. Some dizziness upon first starting and increased heart rate. I may need to talk with my MD about increasing my dose. I continue to loose weight but my appetite is a little heavier than its been. By far I recommend this to anyone who is serious about getting healthier and dropping some serious weight."


"AWFUL! I had never had a problem with acne and now at 20 on this pill I am constantly breaking out. My skin hasn't been clear since I started taking it. Really disappointed it ruined my skin"


"I was prescribed this about four weeks ago as particular of a trial of treatment to help my (as yet) uncontrolled asthma. The nurse said it didn't help everyone and that's true for me- I might as well have been taking sweeties! Unfortunately though I have suffered very badly with side effects- notably depression and suicidal thoughts- which I only realised last night after rereading the patient information. I am glad it's worked for others, but sadly it's not for me..."


"I have always struggled with intrusive thoughts that manifest in various forms (obsession with being "perfect", eating disorders, social anxiety, etc.) But for several years of my adult life, I wanted help so bad because I was miserable... Just completely uncomfortable & restless with anxiety that would come and go but stayed with me much longer than it would stay away. I tried talking to local counselors & was very disappointed, as they were not educated on OCD. After a year of no luck with counselors, I found one (university counselor) who knew what I was going through & how to help me. Life is SO much better! I started at 50mg & currently take 200mg"


"A very effective medication without unpleasant side effects."


"I have been on generess fe for over a year. I do not ovulate as much as "normal" women so I was only having a period maybe once every 6 months. I know that may sound fantastic, but I got a horrible yeast infection that would not go away no matter what I tried (prescription and non prescription). However after starting generess fe, it cleared up within the first week! As a lot of other have said I do experience some nausea right before I'm about to start my period and my breasts have always been rather tender. But I do love only having a light, light period for a maximum of 4 days! I never experience spitting and overall I love generess fe!"


"This somewhat reduced my restless legs syndrome (which occurs every other day and is enough to keep me up at night and be bothersome); however, it gave me insomnia, which came in the form of falling asleep relatively quickly, but I would wake up approximately every two hours in the middle of very vivid dreams. Each time I would wake up, it would take me a good five minutes to realize where exactly I was and that I was semi awake in the middle of a vivid dream; then it would take me a good half hour to fall asleep again and the cycle would repeat. The side effects definitely outweighed the benefits and I stopped using after two nights. Now I'm on Gabapentin, which hopefully will work a bit better for me."


"I've just had Avastin along with chemo and I've just been told that the tumour in my lung from secondary breast cancer has shrunk significantly. I may be put back on Avastin, hope it keeps shrinking."


"I got the nexplanon on 9/30/13 after having the mirena for 5yrs that worked great it was time to get a new form of birth control.. so i said yeah 3yrs nexplanon sounded great.. so i got it.. well i have not had any period, no acne, and now this past sunday 10/20/13 it came out of my arm as i was cleaning.. i called the doctor mant times the previous weeks & told them it was not healing, and freaking out that it would come out of my arm.. WEll for sure it is out.. NOW i sit here with the concern that over less than a few weeks was it even working if it could just come out like that. So now i am waiting a few weeks to see if i am pregnant, & if not i will go back to the mirena!!! NEVER AGAIN... BADDDD Very mad about NEXPLANON!!!"


"Saved my life!"


"I have found that Effexor XR is the most effective drug for my anxiety disorder and depression. I have had basically no side effects from the medicine and it has helped control both issues. I have noticed withdrawals even if one dose is missed. I have been taking 150 mg daily for three years and overall am very pleased."


"I'm feeling pretty sick now. I'm extremely sensitive to medicines and am on only 1/2 of 37.5 mg pills. Correlation isn't causation but my acid reflux (and assorted stomach problems) have come back full force with the start of these medicines. The backs of my eyes hurt and I have a pounding headache right now with nausea. I have eating problems and this seems to have exacerbated them. My body is in starvation mode where I feel cold all the time, lethargic/tired, I don't feel hungry and that's not good because my eating disorders dietician would like me to eat to pull my body back to normal functioning. The only good thing is that my depression started to lessen when I got started with them but now, from suffering the side effects, I feel more depressed."


"I'm sleeping for the 1st time in YEARS without the screaming-clawing-gasping-horrors (the thing people refer to as "nightmares").  Waking up was the worst part. Waking up found me in a dead panic, or a blood-red rage, unable to function. Nothing helped, some things made me worse. I have been labeled "medication resistant" because nothing helped & I'd given up. No med-of-the-month for me. I've been suicidal for awhile, but hadn't told anyone. Had a breakdown while with Mom. I called my shrink, put her on speakerphone, & she called in a prescription for Saphris. I stayed with Mom. We got the medicine. Starting calming with the 1st dose.  I now remember what sleep & rest feel like! Cleared my head. I still have my artistic creativity, too! "


"I was VERY hesitant on taking this medication, and like most of you reading these reviews, I too was scared of what it might or might not do.

All I can say, in 3 days (2mg dose) there was a huge difference in my attitude, calmness and overall presence in me and my thoughts.  Amazing!!!!  I have so much energy and love doing things again.  It has been one week, and for those of you who are affraid to gain weight; you must know, I am losing weight.  It has actually decreased my apitite, however that might be because I am cautious of it and find other ways to curb cravings.

One side effect I am having is NOT sleeping, although we are going through a bit of a heat wave and even air conditioning is not helping.  Good Luck!"


"This drug is a godsend for people who get chronic yeast infections.  I just don't know what I would do without it, because the OTC meds do not even TOUCH my yeast infections.  We are talking horrible itching and burning to the point of feeling like you want to climb the walls! Sometimes it takes more than 1 dose, but my doctor did tell me this drug was harsh on your liver and for people like me who already have some liver issues, that is the only thing I worry about when taking it.  Otherwise, I just would be in misery all the time without this drug."


"I was on Percocet 10/325 and the highest dose. It was killing my stomach but since my doctor changed it to just roxicodone without acetaminophen I feel much better. It definitely helps with the pain. I take a lot less pills now because I'm on the right dose. I haven't had any bad reactions either so far. Been on this for almost a year now."


"I was addicted to any pain pill I could get my hands on for three years. I found Suboxone and it helped me a lot but my experience with my doctor was horrible. I missed a doctors appointment one time and they punished me by making me wait three days for my prescription when I asked what I was supposed to do they told me to pretty much find means till my next doctors appointment. When I asked my doctor to start lowering my doses so I could get off of the Suboxone he told me that I would be back on pills as soon as I could get the chance and then cut me off cold Turkey. I have been pill and Suboxone free for three years. Suboxone is a great rehab option but having a great doctor is just as important."


"I'm 23 with no kids and had Skyla inserted 6 weeks ago. I wanted to try an IUD, because I've had bad experiences with oral birth controls in the past--moodiness, anxiety, weight gain, decreased sex drive etc. The insertion was painful but nothing unmanageable. My doctor did prescribe me Misoprostol, so I think that helped a lot. I've been really happy overall with Skyla but I've been experienced A LOT of cramps and A LOT of spotting. Out of the 42 days I've had it, I would say I experienced cramping for at least 25 days and spotting for probably 30. These symptoms are pretty annoying but I've noticed nothing mood wise which is very important for me. Another plus, I've definitely noticed a change in appetite (less) and I've lost 5 pounds."


"Let me start off by saying that I have been very non compliant with my diabetes  medications for years. Metformin was a bad experience. Glipizide made me hungry all the time.  Byderion injections was the most horrific experience I ever had, I had horrible gas and abdominal cramping. I gave up on all diabetic medications and accepted that I was just going to eventually die from it
 My a1c was always over 10. But a Dr put me on farxiga which is amazing. No side effects  for me at all and only 1 x a day but my a1c still needed help so he put me on trulicity and surprisingly the only side effect has been random nausea especially after eating badly.  So now I'm on trulicity farxiga and actos and so far so good!  I'm actually looking forward to my next labs."


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


"This pill gave me very strange side effects. For one, the first few weeks I had a headache every single day, I had no sex drive, and my period last 7 days  ."


"On day 5 of 500mg/twice a day for a week and it cleared up my discharge/smell/itchiness within two days so it definitely works.  These comments terrified me when I read them the day I got prescribed this medication but my side affects haven't been as severe as these.

I've had the unpleasant taste in my mouth nonstop, even with taking the pill with juice and not letting it touch my tongue. Had cramps and nausea on day 3, but I also didn't take it with as much food as I normally have been. The last two days I've had severe fatigue and exhaustion to the point of almost being unable drive my car. Overall, the worst side affects I've ever had to a medication but they are tolerable if you follow the instructions exactly as prescribed!"


"Relaxed me. helped my problem. "


"So I went to get mine today and from what I've seen everyone has said that the worst part is the insertion. I will admit, the insertion is painful and it made me break into a sweat within seconds and it was very uncomfortable. But the insertion lasted not even a minute. The worst part to me is the CRAMPS AFTERWARDS. It's been over six hours and I even took before I went two ibuprofen and then afterwards I took two Advil. None of the above helped! I still am feeling absolute pain and discomfort and very groggy. I hope that my experience is not like others and that this goes away after the first 48 hours. If not, I don't know if this will be worth it and I'll have to go back on the pill."


"I have a colonoscopy every three years so this isn't my first rodeo!  I have successfully  used Golytely and Suprep in the past.  This time, the nurse wrote a script for Prepopik.  I was on clear liquids the day before the scheduled colonoscopy.  At 8pm I consumed the first packet of Prepopik mixed with 5 oz of water and chased it within 2 hours of 50 oz of water.   I waited and waited but felt nothing, not even a little toot!  At 4am I took the second packet mixed with 5 oz of water.   I chased it with 24 oz of water within an hour.  I waited again but felt nothing until 7:30am when I had a very small movement. My stool never cleared more than normal diarrhea.  I was forced to cancel my 10:30 am colonoscopy appointment.   Never again!"


"I got it and for me it's been very easy to manage my periods come farther apart now and dot a little after that's all."


"I have gained a lot of weight over the past year , I try everything possible to loose the weight. Went to my doctor today and he recommended these tablets for me since I was persistent that he suggest something. I took the first one today and while reading these reviews I feel more confident that this will help me drop some pounds. I am currently 203lbs will give u the update in a month."


"Pt. 1: This birth control started ruining my life. I only took it for 3 weeks because I couldn't stand it anymore. Literally on day 3 I started getting powerful migraines, I couldn't sleep from them, my eyes would tear up, I started taking at least 4 Advil on the daily for them to be BEARABLE. Then I started feeling like pure rubbish, even more depressed than before.  I wanted to slap everyone around me. You couldn't even talk to me. Now on to my face My Face  Broke Out Like Pure Hell. I've been off of it for a week and the breakouts on my jaw (and even around my nose which never happened) are plentiful and SO RED."


"It is my 1 st  medication since diagnosed in 3/13. Just had my 14 month check up MRI, No new lesions. It is hard to adjust to for some people, but if you stick it out by month 3 it starts to get better."


"The first three months were tough. I had breakthrough bleeding that lasted over 2 weeks, cramping and pms moods. Now, I feel much better. My actual period was very light and things are looking up!"


"I'm 30 years, have been suffering from depression on and off for years. This year, I came down with a hard case of Seasonal Affective Disorder, which rendered me a useless ball of fear every day from the afternoon onward and eventually led to other problems (digestion, neurological, and otherwise).
My doctor prescribed 10mg escilatopram. Goodness, I wasn't expecting much, but I feel absolutely fantastic now. I'm happy and can focus on daily activities, even in the dark winter evenings.
Also, I've been on it for almost 2 months now, and I haven't noticed any side effects! No digestive or sexual problems which seem to be not-so-rarely reported."


"3 Months and so far this drug has helped me more than PT, steroid shots, yoga, massage, traction, ibuprofen and patience. The side effects were challenging to begin with, but once the first few weeks had passed by, I was feeling pretty normal and back to my old self again. I can't describe how grateful I am for this medication and it's helped me to no end. Don't believe all the negative reviews, but take note of the positive reviews too."


"My daughter is 15 was diagnosed 2 yrs ago with chronic bilateral anterior uveitis..developping secondary glaucoma due to corticosteroids. She has had 2 trabs in right eye and 1 trab in left eye. She was on methotrexate, not working well decided to put her on Remicade. Things were great for almost a year.  The minute her doctor slightly reduced it the inflammation was back in 3 weeks. They had to up her dose and she is still on Remicade every 4 weeks. The medicines are stablizing her but not putting her into remission that's what we are striving for. "


"I was on this for a little over a year and all it did was make me gain 30 pounds. I started taking it for anxiety and it helped, but then I became very depressed. It also made me crave carbs..hence the 30 lb weight gain. I'm on Cymbalta now and doing SO much better."


"I got the implant in June of 2015. The first week or so was great, no spotting no worries. The next week I starting light spotting that varied- which I was told was expected and common. I was also told that after the first two months most of the symptoms would go away and the spotting would stop. It's now been 2 months and 5 days- I've been on my full on period since and I'm worried these symptoms won't stop. It's been effective with not getting me pregnant but at this point I'm seriously considering getting it taken out."
