"I was on this medicine 3 months for depression and it didn't do anything for me. Infact I think it made me feel worse. I had the shakes, anxiety at times and of course depression and aches. "


"So, I've had several yeast infections in my life and I have always used Monistat 3 ovules with NO side effects or issues. My husband picked my up some monistat while I was at work and instead of ovules he got the cream filled applicators. OMG!! The cream filled applications BURN!!!! Never again will I not buy the ovules. The second the cream hit it felt like liquid fire being poured into my vagina. Please, don't buy the cream. Stick with the ovules."


"I have tried many meds Seroquel, Risperidone, Abilify. Seroquel have me peeing all night long, burning sensation like urinary tract infection. Abilfy sex was good but give me anxiety, fast heart rate, light headed feeling, fainting and insomnia. So far Zyprexa is the best for me. Sex is ok, having problem with sensual sensation, dizzy sometime. Now I am on 2.5 mg I still feel dizzy even without it you feel better if you take the pill. Weight gain 30lb. Triglyceride high."


"I first used trazodone at the age of 12. As a teenager I had both depression and minor insomnia, so my doctor quickly decided that trazodone, an anti depressant that also causes severe drowziness, may be the perfect medicine. When you first start taking this drug, be warned. You will sleep a LOT. You may have nightmares. You will wake up groggy as all hell. And you will very, very quickly develop a resistance and need to increase the dosage. As such, I can't recommend this drug outside of severe cases of insomnia, and even less for depression due to extreme side effects."


"Tried this medication several times and was not effective. UTI had only worsened. Side effect of diarrhea also."


"So far I have had more anxiety and I feel random pains I only been on this for a week now"


"Caused dry mouth, headaches, weight gain and pain in lower back.  Now seeing a physio as my back hurts so much.   I'm on 10mg a day.   Within one month running to the toilet was normalised and I slept all night without needing to get up numerous times.   Someone else mentioned affect on eye sight.  I have experienced this too but hadn't thought to link it to the drugs."


"I may not be the right demographic for this medication but works well and better than lugging around a pill bottle and swallowing a pill with water.  Comes in individual blister packs and easy to transport for ADHD travelling business professionals like myself."


"Around the age of 10 I developed severe and debilitating anxiety. I could not even move out of bed at times without having a break down. I tried coping for a while, but ended up on anti-depressants. I have a lot of stomach problems and any anti-depressant in a pill form eventually caused vomiting right after taking them. My doctor suggested Effexor because it was a capsule. It was great on my stomach as long as I ate. I have slowly gotten better with my anxiety, but am not perfect. I am not sure if it is the medication itself or what though. I think the worst thing about the medication though is the terrible withdrawal symptoms. I get anxious, sick, nausea, dizzy, hot flashes and worst of all is 'brain zaps' and my eyes jumping."


"Works well for acne, took for a week or two.  Caused lots of irritation (burned) especially if I used daily."


"I've been on reclipsen for years now. It's been horrible,  but I've felt trapped to stay on it. I do not believe in IUDs & many other forms of birth control so my primary care doctor felt this low dose would be best. We've never had any unwanted pregnancy, so it's  effective in that manner. But here are all the issues I've had with it: mood swings, depression, anxiety, emotional instability overall, low sex drive, vaginal dryness & migraines. I'll be getting off of it soon with the guidance of a new obgyn."


"Only took one dose.  Achy the next morning. 22 hrs after dose dizziness and weakness.  My husband could barely get a BP on me and when my pulse came up enough to register it was only 54.  I vomited then sweat profusely. My knees hurt severely for an hour.  Hot flashes were diminished for the next 3 days.  Fine now but still having hot flashes."


"My rheumatologist had me on a very high dosage, so much that I had to pay for two seperate scripts at the pharmacy. I guess so many people do have a positive response to this med, my doctor thought increasing the med mg would result in symptom improvement, however that wasn't the case. I hated (that's a strong word for me) Cymbalta. I was told I acted like another person while on it and not in a good way. Even though I strictly followed my pharmacist and doctors directions when tapering off if this med, I still had severe withdrawal during and after reducing the mg. I even called the doctor and pharmacy because I was so concerned; I all but went to the emergency room in the beginning stages since I had never had withdrawal symptoms before."


"I was started on Gildess 1/20 but then was switched to Blisovi as Gildess was recalled. I always had the clearest skin and now that I've been taking Blisovi I'll have random break outs and I've gained some weight as well. I do not recommend. I can't wait to talk to my gynecologist to switch ASAP."


"I receive the highest dose of this drug for spasticity in my upper arm. All I can say is that it definitely helps me but then the drug will wear off quickly, I am now on the highest dose."


"I have found Opana ER to be a lifesaver for me in that though the pain is not gone, but at least it is tolerable.  What works for me presently is a 30 mg. dose 3x day along with Neurontin.  Taking the Opana 3x day takes care of it possibly wearing off earlier than it should by giving me the medicinal coverage and avoiding the need for breakthrough medications.  I intially was taking 40 mg. 2x day with the Neurontin and between my doctor, pharmacist and me, this protocol works much better and Medicare will cover it.  It was a long, difficult journey to get to this point of reasonable comfort which is governed by activity levels and the weather.  I do not cry so much any more from the pain levels I have from a myriad of medical disabilities."


"To make a long story short.... I have missed out on 6 years of quality time that I could have spent with my kids making memories. Instead I was lying in bed making phone calls trying to find pain pills just so I could get out of bed. I knew I had a problem, and I tried to stop. I just couldn't do it. I felt hopeless! But what was worse than feeling hopeless was knowing that I wasn't being the father that my kids deserved to have. Then one day sitting in the Doctors office I saw a brochure for SUBOXONE. That was the day my kids got their Daddy back! TRUST ME! IT WORKS!  So please don't make the same mistake I did. DON'T WAIT! YOUR KIDS NEED YOU NOW!"


"Diazepam is ok  in the very short term but is highly addictive and withdrawing from it will give you panic attacks, a real cold turkey sensation. Took me 6 months to get off it but still felt panicky at times. I was recently given it for head aches and tension after 30 years off it and can't say I was happy taking it even short term. It did relieve my tension after 3 days. I decided no more and although my sleeping is not good, it is better to soldier on without it if you can. Controlled breathing, lavender oil to breath in and pressure points to lower blood pressure were used instead. I feel better and brighter now by using self control. It is so easy to take a tablet and there maybe times you may have to if  it is a one off option."


"I switched from Lo loestrin fe to microgestin fe 1/20 since my new insurance did not cover Lo loestrin. After being on the med for only 2 months, I began to get unusual headaches,  unusual cramping, and constant spotting.

One day, I had blurry vision and my mom suggested I check my blood pressure with her "at home blood pressure kit." My blood pressure was 140/89 !! I dont have a history of high blood pressure and it does not run in my family. I eat fairly healthy and I am 28 yrs old , 125 pounds, 5'2.

I read my microgestrin packet which said that it may raise your blood pressure. I immediately stopped the medication. After about 4 weeks, my blood pressure was back to normal.

Keep an eye on your blood pressure when using this medication"


"I am shocked at the out of pocket price of Zetia of out of $95,00 a month. Since this seems to be on only non statin replacement of the use with cholesterol you are definitely price gouging"


"The first few months were a little annoying due to the spotting. After about 4 months, I stopped getting my period. I don't have to worry about getting my period anymore and I had no side effects. I highly recommend getting this."


"I have been on this pill for 11 months. One thing with me for this pill is that I have to be very careful to take the pill when I'm supposed to. If it's a few hours or early next day and you remember, it's ok. If I miss a whole pill, my period was messed up. Before this pill I had bad cramping and horrible 7 day periods! I have no side effects, my periods went from super 7 days to very lite 2 days. This pill is a life saver! Part of the reason I am on this pill is for my horrific periods but the other reason is for an estrogen deficiency. I was experiencing hot flashes, night sweats, thinning in hair, etc. at 29 years old, now I have none of that! I recommend this pill...it has changed my life!"


"Neurontin 800mg is the best medication I have ever taken for any kind of nerve pain and it especially works with back pain and restless leg syndrome."


"Just quit Alesse after 4 months. I tried to tough it out but it just wasn't working. I was always hungry, then I would eat and feel constantly nautious and bloated. I had no energy and felt tired, always wanted to eat sweet stuff. Didn't really gain much weight, just water weight around my hips and boobs (those were constantly sore as well), such bad mood swings and depressed and anxious often. Got lots of headaches, acne got worse (cystic acne on my chin back and chest), and lower sex drive. This is my first day without birth control (period will start in a few days) and I can honestly say that I feel sooo much better, which is weird because Alesse is 'ultra low dose hormones'."


"I took this medicine in college and it really did help with the incessant worrying. However, it made me a careless pleasure seeker who engaged in risky and unproductive behavior. Needless to say I received a 0.0 GPA the one semester I took it.  I did enjoy my time however and still have fond memories but know now that I have too many lazy tendencies to take this medicine."


"Best alcohol treatment in the world. I drank daily to pass out mode for 15 years. I started taking this and haven't been drunk in 4 years. But I can't stop taking it because I know I'll try to drink. But who cares. IM NOT DRINKING!!! Sober life is weird and amazing and praise God for disulfiram."


"Ive been on this medication for a year now about a month after having a full hysterectomy. Worked the first night I took it. No hot flashes, no mood swings. I feel great and sleep well. I do experience nausea once in a awhile in the morning but that fades fast with a drink of water or cup of coffee. It's very pricey even with a coupon as I pay out of pocket, but it's worth every dime."


"Jubila worked for me! I’ve had really bad fungus on 2 of my toenails for years and this really took care of it. It took about 6-7 months to see amazing results! This is not an overnight treatment, you must be consistent and use it everyday to see it work.  It’s been 7 months and my new nail that has grown is is fungus free!"


"I've been on these for about 8 years. They work good on low back pain, DJD  and bulging disc on my neck. Along with other pain killers it works good, but don't drive while on them. They do make you sleepy fast and also they tend to lower your blood pressure and you will get dizzy standing up. You can get a good night sleep on them. I take one 4 mg 2 times a day."


"Almost instant pain relief , best I've had and I've had a lot"


"Wonderful! I was told 5 years ago that I needed both knees replaced....not yet bone on bone.  Hearing mixed results from friends who had replacements, I decided to wait until pain was unbearable.  Started getting Euflexxa injections three years ago.  Not totally pain free but so good I'm not even considering replacement at this time. Wow!"


"I take the stuff twice a day (sometimes more, depending) and I find it very effective. It takes a few minutes to kick in so as soon as you feel a CH coming on, pop one. It also works as a preventative for CHs; I take one as soon as I wake up. I also take Rizatriptan, which works crazy good but they only prescribe ten pills per month, so use sparingly."


"At 27, I have suffered from manic depression for over 10 years now and always thought I could manage the depression naturally. Was given Pristiq last week after seeing my family doctor in tears over feeling resentful towards my partner since the birth of our daughter and also stressed and unable to cope. After a bit of convincing from my Dr, I decided that my family staying together was too important not to try it and I have to say WOW! I feel like a new person and wonder with horror just how long I could have gone on talking myself out of what in the end has completely changed my life for the better! I adore my life suddenly, have no feelings of anxiety or fear or resentfulness. Hope it lasts."


"Awaiting hand injection and got immediate relief with no side effects."


"So I've been on xulane for about four months. I'm overall satisfied with this birth control. It's never fallen off I had no increase in weight and my breasts were a lot perkier and rounder. My periods didn't change. The only thing I noticed was I seemed to lose weight in my butt and thigh area. I'm not sure if this is due to this medication. I've always had a round butt and gained my weight there but since using xulane I've lost that curve   Has anyone else experienced this?"


"This medication was provided to me by a pain management specialist after trigger point injections did not seem to work for me. I have been on them at 500mg now for about 5.5 months and they do not even touch the pain and spasms that occur in my body. Pain management physician is refusing to accept the fact that this medication is not assisting me at all and insisted I continue it even though I was incredibly light headed the entire time of use."


"I have struggles with pain during my periods as a result if Fibroids. Tried various different birth control pills which did not work so Nexplanon or a hysterectomy were my last 2 options. I decided to go with the Nexplanon and save the hysterectomy as the end result if this didn't work. I had my Nexplanon implanted on April 30th, no period so no pain in May then on June 5th it came. Today is June 18th and it's still here. I have had no acne, no bloating, no weigh gain, mood swings, no negative side effects, I just wish my period would. end. Its very annoying."


"I am 19, in a relationship and have been on Sprintec for 3 months now and this has been the only birth control pill I've tried. This pill has been extremely effective when it comes to preventing pregnancies unfortunately I have had several side effects. At first it started off as frequent headaches and then dizzy spells and then increase in mood swings. The dizziness and headaches. Everything else is good, the Acne and the weight and stuff are normal for me but the mood swings are killer. I have irrational anger and crying outburst. I have started attacking my boyfriend when I'm angry."


"Diag stage 3 Apr 2006, Rcvd fist velcade treatment--shot not IV, weekly starting Jun 2013 for six months , side effects of combined treatment greatly reduced while on velcade Dec 2013, complete remission, no maint therapy.  Then montly velcade Jan 2015 to current."


"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"


"Diagnosed with T2 diabetes Nov 14 2016. Sugar level is 300    A1C is 12  .  After a month of taking Metformin 500gm twice a day, by December my blood sugar is 250 did not take another A1C as the doctor plans to get another one by March 2017. Our goal for A1C is at least 7 and blood sugar is 100. So, been trying hard to get 150 off. But, recently been skipping meds as we moved to another house and the holiday season and full time job...it's not easy. Been getting dizzy, cramping is way too much for me that I just don't want to move at all. Yes... losing weight is good because the doctor said I weigh from 165 to 138 and I need to lose at least 20 lbs more. Seriously, right food to eat is what I am still searching."


"I started taking Zoloft a little over a week ago. At first I got really, had dizzy spells and nausea. Then I found out the doctor gave me 100mg to start and that was way too high of a dosage. I started breaking them into quarters and so far so good. Side effects since the change in dosage: I've suffered loss of appetite, very little food makes me full. Other than that, I think it may be working, but too soon to say for now."


"This drug works 100% for me but I am finding I need a dose in the late afternoon and can't seem to get an answer from my MD about additional dosing."


"I'm a teenager and I have had pretty severe anxiety for about 3 to 4 years. It stopped me from doing normal high school things, like going to dances, making friends, and going to parties because those kinds things terrifies me. I went to a psychiatrist and since my anxiety has been negatively effecting my life she prescribed me 20 ml of prozac once a day. This has seriously changed my life. I've tried all the natural medications and techniques that claim to work but nothing had worked for me. It took a while to kick in but once it did I became a whole new person. I've been so happy and can do things without worrying!"


"Took one pill around 1pm... 9pm severe stomach cramps and in total agony! Finally get a bm and all is well until 2am I'm back in the same position. Worst laxative I have ever used won't be using it again. The pain is excruciating."


"Lyrica works.  Unfortunately, I am on the verge of discontinuing use because of significant side effects.  The most troubling for me are the eye disorders (conjunctivitis and blurred vision), and the dementia.  I am 53 years old and I have trouble remembering elementary words! It's very embarrassing. I also have a significant taste disorder... many things taste like "burnt garlic" to me... that's the best way I can describe it.  Finally, I have facial bloating, weight gain, and dizziness. I have been on the maximum dose of Lyrica for chronic pain due to degenerative disc disease in my neck. I was willing to endure the weight and dizziness, but the eye, memory and taste problems are intolerable. Too bad, because Lyrica really helps pain."


"I am 54 and been using patches 2 years, Testosterone is back from 190 to 400 on average; energy is back plus good marital functioning, if you know what I mean. I notice sometimes they do not stick well if water gets under it and do not place it on a body part with lots of motion. The longer you use it the better the result. My facial hair has filled out much more. Just make sure your MD does a CBC to make sure you do not have too much red blood cell production."


"I have had migraines since a young girl not realizing what they were. In 2009 the migraines started getting so bad they started affecting my day to day life.  Many trips to the doctors, and neurologists changing prescriptions often due to lack of effectiveness I was worried I would never find a medication that would help me.  None of the oral medications were helping me.  I started getting Botox injections almost a year ago Skeptical but ready to try. Somewhat apprehensive about so many needles, I have to try to see if this might just be the saving grace from migraines.  I am happy to report the Botox is a miracle drug for me.  The injections are uncomfortable, but going from >15 headaches a months to 3 or less/mo. I am very happy!  Thanks!"


"My face was breaking out so badly that I didn't even want to look in the mirror, blAvk heads horrible cysts I tried using a homemade mixture for my face which did nothing. My doctor later prescribed onexton and ziana gel onexton in the morning ziana at night I had no idea that after applying the onexton and the ziana to moisturize my skin, So after two weeks of use my skin was red peeling n painful, so I decided to stop using it for a week and get m skin hydrated, than I went back to using the products, I've been using it for about 3 months now and it's cleared all the acne away and all the excess dead skin is gradually coming off. It takes time to see a major difference but I seen my difference within 1 1/2 months . I would recommend both."


"It is a miracle drug! After about 2 months my stools were becoming well formed but not back to the usual stool! I only go once a day and it really is amazing! Although the risks seem huge I just look at it as though without imuran I could be a lot worse!"


"Update: A very happy overweightgrammy here. Drum roll please..... DOWN 24lbs. !!!!!! I am so very happy. This is truly working for me. I have lost 5 inches off my hips and 3 inches off my waist. I have only been taking this for about 3 month and I am thrilled. I have 52 lbs to goal. I'm excited."


"I have been taking Rebif - I see an improvement in my work and in my attitude and everyday interactions with friends and family. Making me feel a lot better."


"Works great! No issues at all!"


"I have been on Seasonique for 1 year and ever since the beginning I can't stop bleeding.   This last cycle has been 28 days of straight heavy bleeding. I would rather be pregnant again."


"I was given these after and while being in the hospital as the result of a car crash. (A couple compression fractures and a broken sternum). I don't really know if it was the Robaxin or the morphine, that relaxed me during the stay. But, during the recovery and physical therapy these really helped with my spasms.  All in all what I learned is not to drive on them. "


"Definitely works don't believe what you read online, my bf an I had intercourse he came inside me during ovulation, I took plan B within 30 minutes after intercourse period came 1 day early. My suggestion if you use plan b don't keep having unprotected sex that's probably why it doesnt work, but it does if you use it correctly!"


"I have been on this medication for a little over 1 month. In the beginning the side effects took a while to get used too - water..water..water...  I am still constantly thirsty. I was itchy in the beginning but it has gotten better.  I have lost about 17 pounds  and feel sooo much better!!!! I have to admit I read through the reviews before I even started the medication and was very hesitant - I am so  glad that I gave it a try. This has been a life changer so far."


"I only took this pill for a full month. Caused a heavy increase in appetite around 5 days after I started taking it along with very bad nausea, super painful breast tenderness, extreme bloating and made me feel  depressed."


"I'm fighting HPV for a year and half now
Aldara works
but it takes long time
be patient
it might burn you some times
make sure the area is clean and dry
avoid using tea tree oil or ACV while on Aldara therapy"


"I've  been on this birth control for almost 5  months now and initially the only side effect I experienced was extremely sore and tender breasts. I've been nauseous all the time and I hate even the thought of eating food. My appetite sucks. I have to take anti nausea medicine daily. My irregular periods are regulated and light"


"I had Mirena inserted one week ago today. My family doctor, as well as a very rude OBGYN, were both not able to get it in. I went to a women's clinic and had it inserted by someone who does this all day every day. I was surprised by how quick and relatively painless it was - a small twinge of pain on insertion, not much else. The next day, 24 hours after insertion (almost to the minute) I had horrible, debilitating pain on my left side, down my leg and up my back. It's a foreign object in your body, so your body is going to try to expel it. I took Advil but eventually needed T3's to get rid of the pain. After a few days, the daily pains went away. I am still bleeding (had it inserted on day 2 of my period). Otherwise I feel great!"


"Because this is a food/medicine, there is no way it can cause side effects.  I have only been on it for a little over a week, but I am thrilled!!  I do not feel depressed, and I am feeling energized and better than I have in years!  I have taken every kind of antidepressant there is, I think.  I weaned off the last one, and right now I am not on anything but Deplin.  I am amazed."


"Prescribed this drug several years ago.  Shortly after taking it I went 5 nights without sleep and was subsequently hospitalized for a manic episode with delusions.  It took months to recover from the depression that followed.  I was on mood stabilizers for a year and a half post episode before gaining enough courage to ween off entirely.  It has been a few years now that I am clean and clear of all medications.  Mentally stable and back to working in emergency medicine.  I have since stayed far away from the entire "myocin" family of antibiotics for fear that I am hypersensitive.  Highly recommend staying away from this drug."


Brompheniramine / dextromethorphan / phenylephrine

"my child is almost 12 months and her doctor told me to get this medicine, my child has been awake for about 14 hours straight. so i would recommend no matter what your childs doctor says GO BY THE LABEL!"


"Almost done with my 3 month supply started at 264 down 40 lbs. I dont workout just eat less an better lots of water. No side effects. Goal weight 180. I also have no problem sleeping."


"I am pretty happy with this product overall. I am 42 years old and have had only 4 or so yeast infections. I started having symptoms on a Monday, but by the time I realized what it was, and bought this product it was late Tuesday. I inserted it, and laid down to take a nap around 2:00. I still had a lot of burning and irritation. So I decided to use the sitz bottle I got from the hospital from child birth, but any squirt bottle would work. So every time I peed I would wash with warm water. This helped a ton. By Wednesday not much change. Still had burning. The cream that came  with the kit didn't seem to help much. So I decided to use Vaseline. Brilliant! By Thursday much better and Friday gone!"


"I had sudden large amounts of projectile vomiting the 5 weeks I was on this med. Other untoward side effects include headache, eye pain, visual changes, emotionally labile, very anxious, depressed, very tired, no energy, racing thoughts."


"I have been taking Vyvanse 4mg for a month and my productivity in my work and school have increased measurably. I have taken several different ADHD medicines through a period of several years, and Vyvanse is by far the most effective. It hasn't caused me any of the side effects caused by most ADHD medicines (paranoia, restlessness, agitation, lack of appetite). Of course these are just my experiences, but I would recommend Vyvanse to others."


Acetaminophen / chlorpheniramine / phenylephrine

"Lately this medicine has given me stomach pains which are very uncomfortable and I've also had the feeling like I need to use the bathroom"


"Terrible sun sensitivity. Hands became swollen, but didn't peel or blister. Swelling subsided after ~ 3 days."


"Amazing! Accutane was the only thing that worked after 13 long years of acne and trying every product and diet available. I'm so grateful for this medication!"


"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 have been reading your experiences with Xenical. I have been taking this for 2 months on 3rd July and so far have lost nearly 3 stone. I find it really makes you think about the foods you choose to eat because you don't want any nasty side effects. I can honestly say I have had none at all. Been on a low cal, low fat diet and exercising every day. I started out weighing 14 stone 10lbs and now weigh 11 stone 11 lbs. If I can do it with 3 children then anyone can. Power to you all, you are an inspiration."


"I suffered from severe anxiety and anxiety attacks for over 20 years. the psychiatrists I was seeing had me on different anti anxiety drugs but nothing worked. The attacks got so severe and so often that I had to sign myself into a mental hospital. the house doctor in the hospital gave me 2 blue valium and he told me to place them under my tongue. wow I couldn't believe it. After about 10 minutes I finally calmed down. the anxiety totally drained from my body.  As time went by I would feel another anxiety attack come on. I would take my valium and the attacks would go away. That happened about 30 years ago and I no longer suffer from anxiety attacks. Also I do not abuse the valium   I don't take them anymore."


"I use this medicine for depression and it is really effective."


"I started this medicine on April 1. Here is is almost June 1....no weight loss, nauseous constantly, very tired. Went from 0.6 the first week to 1.2 for a week then to 1.8. Pharmacist suggested going back to 1.2 as the 1.8 made me so nauseous. Have switched back and forth a couple times now. Cannot handle the 1.8 and work a full time job. Sugars showed excellent improvement the first two weeks, (97-115) now I'm lucky if I can stay under 160, even with nothing in my stomach. I was 211 yesterday morning after eating an egg. I'm 187 today after eating a half a cup of oatmeal. Also take 2000mg of metformin at night. (Previous medicines were Byetta and Avandimet) and I'm craving sugar."


"When I was in the military my boss told me about the patch for motion sickness and told me to put it on 24 hours prior to going fishing. I didn't listen to him and put it on when I left to go fishing. It was a 4 hour ride and before arriving at the charter boat I was sick as a dog.  I have since found out that I drink plenty of water before putting on the patch and afterwords. Keep yourself hydrated. I will wake up feeling a little funny but I drink water as soon as I get up. This should help."


"I am pleasesd with the way bisoprolol has controlled my blood pressure and am enjoying the well being that I feel since my blood pressue is under control. Since I have a family history of heart problems on both sides"


"I don't see a lot of posts on this but if I can reach 1 person then it's well worth it.  I was a heavy drinking alcoholic for 10 years.  Went to detox and was on 250mg for 102 days.  Had to stop taking as a precaution for knee surgery.  5 days later I figured why not see what happens.  Passed the ethyl alcohol on skin test.  Passed the use regular mouthwash for 3 days test.  At the end of day 5 I cracked a beer on empty stomach and sipped slowly.  After 1/3 the beer in 10 minutes I could feel my face flushing and could see the itchy red hives on my forearms.  That was enough for me.  Poured the test down the sink and will start taking again after the surgery.  Alcohol destroyed my life once.  No way I was going to let it happen again."


"This helped my overall mood and I was able to get into a deeper more restful sleep at night.  But it in any way have any effect on my migraines."


"I have currently been on the pill for over a year. After my daughter I tried the Depo shot it made my periods stop, and worked for a few months. But I became emotional and gained weight. For the last year or more I have been using the Lo LoEstrin Pill which is amazing. The positive thing about the pill is I have lost weight, my face has barely any to no breakouts, and best of all NO period. The negative thing about the pill is I do feel more tired then usual (I am also going to school for nursing, work 36 hours, take care of the lawn/house, and have a 2 year old) it could be my activity. Only $10 is covered by my insurance, which leaves me paying $82. My sex drive is balanced, I have not seen much change. Highly recommend this birth control."


"This medicine works but, the taste is so bad the second day of being on it I started throwing up the sickness went away but, I'm still getting major headaches and I feel exhausted. I was percribed 30 of them for a colon infection due to not being able to go to the bathroom caused  the infection spread into my stomach."


"I'm taking abilify with an antidepressant to stabilize my mood. It just makes me shakey and agitated. Before Abilify my mood would be up and down. But now I'm just down and agitated all the time."


"I was horribly nauseous and threw up everyday for the first month. The itching was horrible too for the first month as well, but I suffered through and Brintellix has been a miracle drug for me. I have been taking it for over 4 months now. I am slowly feeling the depression creep back in. I am not sure if I need the dosage increased or if it is just everything I am having to deal with in my life right now. I am currently taking 10 mg at night. No side effects at all now."


"I've had the implant for about 3 months now. It's worked since clearly I am not pregnant lol. That being said, I've only had 1 period since I've had it and it lasted about a week and a half. Before I got that period I had the worst cramps I've ever had. My other side effects were right after I got it I had heartburn for about 2 weeks and I was nauseous at night for a couple of days. But I powered through that and I have been completely normal now except no periods. I'm very happy I made the choice to get this implant.

Side note- I'm not a doctor and I don't know this for sure but I've kind of noticed from the many reviews I read that the majority of women who have had bad side effects are women who have had a baby and then got the implant"


"Copaxone for me was very harsh. Before switching I ended up with almost all side effects."


"This is an amazing solution for acne. If you are getting flaky skin or it's burning you are using too much. You only need a lea size (even smaller) amount to rub everywhere. I have been on it for 2 years and very rarely get a pimple anymore. Even after this long of I put more that a pea amount on I get blotchy and flaky so be very frugal!"


"I had put off taking Lyrica because I was afraid of the side effects.  Eventually my nerve pain got to the point where I had no choice.  It was completely debilitating.  Searing burning pain with no relief.  Pain meds didn't touch it. I couldn't sleep because the pain was that bad.  My clothes hurt. Soft feather light brushes against my skin stung and BURNED for minutes after contact (more intensely than the consistent present burning).  After about three weeks on Lyrica I finally found relief from the worst of it.  What I am left with as far as the burning goes is completely tolerable (of course it does nothing for my other symptoms).  I'm grateful I caved but am concerned about weight gain & significant cravings for sweets."


"I have an appointment in a week to get ADHD and bipolar meds but I was given a sample of a 70mg vyvanse I had previously been trying to  do the dishes for about two hours (procrastination) I could feel it kick in after 2 hours and I ended up cleaning every inch of the kitchen. Cleaned the walls cabinets and all the appliances. I was actually interested in cleaning and was able to keep cleaning for 10 hours without getting off track. The effects only lasted about 10 hours and I could tell when it was ending because my cravings for cigarettes started again. I only smoked about 2 cigarettes in that period. I binge eat if I don't smoke regularly so its great for quitting smoking along with focus for ADHD. Will be asking about this one."


"Went to emergency room for blood in urine Wed. Diagnosed with large stone in bladder. Urinated way above normal on Wed. Doc gave me script for flomax.  Thursday no control over my bladder. Felt worse than a baby. Urinated at times every 10 minutes over a 2 hour period. Even both something to put in my underwear to absorb urine. Most of yesterday I could even make it to the toilet. I anticipated surgery to get rid of stone. I took two Flomax yesterday(should only take one before bedtime without water). Will do so from now on. Apparently the Flomax kicked in immediately. Felt like a normal person today.Only been to bathroom three times today. Now past 9PM. Will continue withFlomax of course. Hope I'm doing ok tomorrow. Right now, I rate a 10."


"I have been on this since switching from Minastrin 24 Fe mint chewable due to my bad insurance. I have been on tri-sprintec for a month and a half and have noticed feeling bloated and tired.  I have gained a few pounds which is scaring me considering I'm 4'10 and never been over 100 lbs and my weight typically remains the same. I workout 6 days a week and eat right and the past few weeks have been hell. I would rather spend $150 a month on my minastrin than ever take this pill ever again. Which is exactly what I'll be doing."


"This is my second month on Skyla, I had the Mirena IUD before and the depo provera in between. They are all extremely effective. I had the Skyla inserted the day I was due for my depo provera shot, I was not on my period ( I thought I needed to be, Gyno said no)  The insertion was quite painful!! I tore into my arm with my nails trying to take the pain away from the insertion. I didn't remember it being that painful with the Mirena. I started my period 2 weeks after insertion, cramps weren't too bad, seemed to be normal and the period lasted a normal 6-7 days. The next month.. I am having contraction like cramps and have not stopped bleeding.. The cramps are horrendous and I am considering having it removed!  Not recommending!"


"It works very well as a birth control (one of the best besides an iud) & is convenient because you only get the shot every 3 months. I got the shot for free from my health department, not sure of the cost under insurance or out of pocket. I'm 19. In less than 3 months on depo I gained almost 10 pounds, I now have cystic acne on my face and back, and my hormones are entirely out of whack. I get angry over nothing very often, and I'm extremely irritable. It causes bone density loss and it can take months to get your fertility back. I've had random spotting and bleeding throughout the past 3 weeks and I don't know how much more of it I can take. Do not get this birth control."


"I am 17 and I was in the hospital and they put me on Abilify. I think it is working really well. I was diagnosed with Bipolar at age 16 but I have only been on this new medicine for about 2 months and it seems to give me more energy and I am starting to have better sleeping patterns."


"I suffer from episodic depression and anxiety attacks. Pristiq is the only medication for depression that I've tried that has virtually no side-effects either getting on or getting off. When I begin taking it (I'm on my 2nd round with this medicine since it came out). I almost immediately (in 2 to 3 days) start feeling better, or at least "normal". It certainly doesn't make me feel happy or like dancing, but it does erase feelings that I wished I'd never been born. Which is wonderful! I do have occasional night sweating, especially if I take any other medication with the Pristiq, even something like Advil. Getting off the Pristiq last time was uneventful. Only some slight dizziness upon moving my head for about a week."


"I cannot tolerate the full adult dose of 2 puffs twice daily. I get joint pain, exzema breakouts, heartburn/sour stomach and irritable/easily frustrated/impatient, (even angry at times) more than necessary.

The dose I can tolerate, somewhat, (1 puff twice/daily) is not really effective every day, with every set of triggers, such as catching a cold, or doing yardwork."


"I also use Morphine SR 100mg/8hrs and would not be a functioning member of society without it.  Degenerative Disc Disease, Stenosis, Narrowing of Spinal Foraminae, Bone Spurs, and Facet Syndrome would have me all but crippled. I can use this medication and function and support myself or not use it and draw off the government. I will choose the first option thank you."


"Amazing."


"Worsted my situation, headache, difficulties to talk, suicidal, lethargic, SLOW and lost contact with reality. Worst drug I've ever took."


"These are my first birth control pills. I had heard about the weight gain and such but it never happened to me. I am really happy with the pill. During my pre-pill life, I had cramping and lots of gas and mood fluctuations during periods but during this pill I have very predictable periods and almost no mood imbalances or unusual pain. Since I work out regularly, I  experienced no weight gain at all."


"I have to say that Lexapro has been a God send for me. I have been taking it for about 2 years now and life is as it should be. There aren't the crazy ups and downs. Everything seems to be more even keeled but you still have and feel emotions. Although, the first month or so I felt a little "wired" detached or something but better. Once you get past that it's like you finally feel like yourself and so relieved. I especially have noticed a difference around holidays or birthdays. I used to get so depressed around those times, not anymore. I also have noticed a big difference with anxieties. I used to sweat and feel lightheaded if people whom I didn't know talked to me and I didn't have someone who I was comfortable with around, not anymore."


"I am a very nervous person and would get very emotional after surgery, but if was given Valium before surgery I would wake up very relaxed."


"No real problems here. A  in pregnancy prevention in my book. I admit to not being as regular about it as I should, and sometimes miss pills. The worst that has happened as a result is irregular periods. They've come almost always after I've messed up taking my doses, so I accredit it to that.

My only complaint is that it's always a bit hard to remember to take them. Not much anybody can do about that except me, I suppose."


"You're probably here to find some last ditch hope that this pill will work for you so have no fear i am living proof it does. I have about a 30 day cycle and had unprotected sex (very very dumb) in which he came fully inside of me the day before ovulation (7/21). Being only 17 i panicked and went to Walmart and got the pill. I took it about an hour or two after , my next period wasn't supposed to be here for another 13 days so about two weeks. I had absolutely zero side affects and two loooong weeks later I come home from soccer practice feeling a little crampy to find I had started my period(8/3). I too was like you who read all the reviews and just about everything but was still convinced I was pregnant. THE PILL WORKS GOOD LUCK TO YOU!"


"Terrible product that should be avoided!  Don't let your dermatologist talk you into this by giving you a small sample tube first.  You try it and initially it seems like a miracle rosacea cure.  You then have to buy a bigger tube for $80 but it is not a solution to the problem.  It starts off working for a full day at a time but after a week or so the rebound flushing is terrible.  I was applying at 7.30am in the morning before work but after a couple of weeks the severe rebound flushing was kicking in around 4pm in the afternoon.  Face goes severely red for rest of the night.  I had to stop using it, stay at home for a few days until it gets out of your system."


"Got this Feb. 25 of this year, on the first day of my period. That period lasted 12 days long, the longest I've ever had one. 2 weeks later, I started to get spotting. It's been 6 days now, and the spotting is enough for a liner. Some times it looks like its done, but then when I check a couple hours later, it's back. If this is what the next 3 years are gonna be like (small breaks between periods or constant spotting), then I'm getting this thing out. The only reason I got it was to try to stop or lighten my periods. I guess I'll try to give it another month before I decide what to do."


"Overall, Norpace has been a lifesaver with few side effects that are noticeable. I have been taking Norpace for 16 yrs and have had to increase from taking two per day, three per day and they are considering 4.  But, there have been no side effects at all that I can attribute to Norpace on its own, other that I cannot take it with Levaquin, an antibiotic, at the same time.  No idea why, was given strong advise from the pharmacist.  Appreciated his advice."


"Excellent for arrhythmia. Lot's and lots of negative side effects.

Nothing else available for my particular problem."


"This cream is not perfect by any means, but it is the only cream that has significantly reduce my redness within a short time."


"5 weeks on harvoni and virus is undetectable.  Had hep c for 27 years and minimal scarring. No side effects yet have 3 more weeks of treatmeant"


"I have taken many antidepressants and a lot of them took away my desire for sex. I did not know that this medicine could help. I did not get this medicine for this reason. I also take Lexapro for bipolar and depression...so I think it could be worth a try to see if this medicine helps. I took clonazepam for years and my doctor wanted to try something new with this medicine.."


"I was diagnosed with MS a few months ago. Glatopa was the first drug prescribed. The auto-injector makes the daily injections easy to tolerate.  I was on it for approximately one month before having an extreme adverse reaction that started immediately after an injection. It started with a strong metallic taste in my mouth, loud rushing sounds in my ears, and extreme dizziness and loss of motor functions followed by crushing chest pain and shortness of breath. The most severe symptoms lasted for 10-15 minutes, the chest pain for over an hour and the breathing problems for well over 2 hours. I believe I blacked out for several minutes at the onset of the reaction. I am currently not taking any MS medication."


"Ampyra has been a Godsend for me! Before I started taking it, I was a "wall-walker". I always had to hold onto a wall before I took a step. Now I am walking without assistance. I saw improvement after my second dose. Now I am exercising again which makes me feel so much better-mentally and physically. I was 51 before I was diagnosed and not being able to walk made my life miserable. Now, I feel like I am more of a "normal" person than I have been in 20 years! Thanks Ampyra!"


"I had a quickie n he decided to finish it off in me... Well IMMEDIATELY we went 2 our local pharmacy n bought this plan b 1 step pill.I took it immediately.2 weeks later,took a pregnancy test n got the world's BIGGEST POSITIVE. The small pill was $50.That was the 1st time in a year n a half that I had intercourse n the last after I had my first son. I honestly believe this pill is ineffective because they just want u to think it works when n reality, it would never work. Alot of women don't know their bodies when they ovulate so if your not fertile and he ejaculates n u and u take the pill n dont get preg., The pill is supposed to make u think it worked. DO NOT buy. Was NEVER effective. Thank u!"


"I have suffered from depression for years.  At first I was a little apprehensive to take any medication but I had reached a low point.  Everyday I woke up with a storm cloud over my head, I was irritable, quick to anger and always grumpy.  I could literally feel the weight of my mood on me at all times.  I barely laughed anymore, I didn't find anything enjoyable.  I have been taking 10mg of Lexapro for three weeks now and I am floored by the difference it has made.  It's like I can feel again.  I know this sounds cliche, but everything is more vivid, more colorful, more lively.  I didn't experience any side effects other than loss of appetite."


"Been using this birth control for 8 days and I've been bleeding like a waterfall the whole time.is this normal?"


"Was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my knee today.  Pain was so bad last night, I only slept on and off.  I was in tears and the spasms were constant.  600mg of ibuprofen didn't touch it.  My doctor prescribed Mobic and Osteo Bi-flex.  Took my first dose at 2pm.  By 8pm that evening all pain and spasms were gone and I will be able to sleep pain free tonight.  I am so happy I could cry - the relief is like gold in my pocket!  I can walk without limping or shuffling for the first time in 2 weeks."


"I had a condom break on June 30 and quickly took plan B within 2 hours of the accident. I was freaking out because I read that it doesn't work after ovulation and my last period was on June 10 and I am pretty sure I had already ovulated. On July 9 I took a pregnancy test because my period was a couple days late and it was negative and finally today July 11 I got my period this morning. So yes this does work even post ovulation. Some side effects I had were nausea, period like cramping, lots of white discharge, sore breasts,delayed period and fatigue. And now heavy heavy HEAVY period. Worth the side effects though."


"WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!! this BC gave me SEVERE depression and made me the saddest i have ever been in my life!!! definitely is not worth it for me, i have stopped taking this pill. it made me so overly sensitive to where i cry over the smallest things and it hard to not cry in public, i cried every day after two weeks of taking this pill"


"So I used this for four night. As per dosage I used a super small amount. 3rd application my face burned really bad. Next morning I woke up with a rash on my cheeks. 4th night I avoided the irritated area but woke up the next day with a full face of eczema. I'd caution you, if you have eczema and your doctor still prescribes this (as mine did) be careful! Now I have a full face of steroid cream and my acne is still there☹. It did seem to be making some effect before the whole huge eczema outbreak."


"I've read a lot of reviews on this birth control and everyone writes negative reviews so I'm going to give a positive one.  I used to get very heavy 10-day periods before I went on this pill and I am now done to light to moderate 4 day periods and let me tell you, what a relief.  I also used to get cramps so bad that sometimes I couldn't walk.  Three months on this pill and the cramps had gone. I was 23 with horrible acne.  I had it everywhere: cheeks, forehead, but especially on my chin.  Three months after starting the pill and my skin cleared up tremendously.  I hardly ever get a pimple but when I do its usually a small one around the time of my period.  I gained no weight and my sex drive is as high as ever.  I love this pill!"


"Really excellent medicine for alleviating the physical symptoms of anxiety. I was sceptical about taking this as my anxiety (or so I thought) was mostly manifesting as mental anxiety. I now realise just how much I can reduce my anxiety levels as a whole by taking this medicine. I've only taken it twice - 40mg once a day, although I think 60mg may be the sweet spot for me. I don't get uncontrollable heart palpitations, sweating, voice cracking, and fully body shakes. In fact I feel comfortable and in control, hence, my thoughts are clearer and less agitated and thus the mental anxiety is also somewhat relieved."


"Moderate to severe eczema has haunted me for the past 30 years. I've used every ointment and cream available to some temporary success and steroids when the itching gets out of hand. Doc gave me Eucrisa a month ago that has proved to be a $700 false prophet. It clears up the rashes but not the itching. I look at my hands and think Wow! So clear! then scratch the smooth skin 'til the blood runs cold. Hope this is not true with everyone. I wouldn't wish this condition on my worst enemy....well, maybe with the exception of one or two!"


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"I finished my 10 days dose of the medication, and nothing changed. I still have the stomach bloated and same old same old intestinal problems as before. Not sure why my doctor gave it to me for 10 days, but it was useless."


"After about 7 years of my MS getting steadily worse with injections, my MS has now stabilized. Because of Gilenya? I believe so, even though it is not approved for secondary primary MS. It stabilized at a not so good place, but I am not feeling any worse than when I started Gilenya and MRIs prove it (no new lesions). It came out a few weeks too late for me though, because I just started to get pock marks in my skin from injection site reactions to my previous injection drugs. That Gilenya is oral was enough for me, but that it works even better than the injection drugs has me an advocate of this drug(!"


"37 and diagnosed with low testosterone. Doctor suggested trying Cialis as I had a lower sexual desire and difficulties staying hard. The first night, wow.  I was harder than ever and stayed erect without any problems. I was only given samples, but I am definitely going back to get the prescription.  Don't be afraid to talk to your doctor.  Once you get it, you will wonder why you didn't talk to your doctor sooner."


"I take 9mg every night for the past 5 years. I love it."


"I have been in so much pain and discomfort.  I have a problem of serious dry mouth and perhaps Sjogren's.  My tongue was always sore and burning and my gums hurt.  My dentist gave me this to try and it has been the greatest thing.  It didn't give me an unpleasant taste or anything.  Just less pain and fresh mouth."


"This is honestly the first review I have ever done for any medication.  I generally just get off of something if it isn't working for me....But I wish I had read this review before I had made the choice to get the Nexplanon.  I am a 31 year old woman.  Mother of 3.  Birth Control was no new things to me.  I'm used to a little weight gain, acne, painful periods or none at all.  All while things balance out.  I had the Nexplanon for 18 months after giving birth to my daughter and it was SO HORRIFIC.   Mood swings, anxiety out of control, hot flashes and 50 lbs weight gain.  Within 2 months of getting it taken out I have lost 25 lbs with zero change of diet.  PLEASE do not get this thing.  "


"Life long migraines that were becoming more severe and frequent with age.  I was getting up to 10 attacks per month and using Relpax to stop the pain.  Doctor had me try Topamax 2x per day everyday.  Attacks stopped immediately - it's been amazing.  There have been some side effects that took time to get used to, but as compared to the migraine pain I would take the side effects any day.  If you're a life long sufferer looking at a maintenance medicine, I would recommend trying it."


"My PSA was rising after RP to 0.59. Started radiation with Lupron. If you exercise really hard with lots of caffiene, no sugar in the morning and minimal sugar all day long with high quality food, then the effects of Lupron are minimal other than the muscle pain and some joint pain.

Sex life is about once a month. The more you exercise, the more likely you are able to have a sex life. After six months on Lupron I can still have sex.

I took Bicalutimide with my first shot. I highly recommend to avoid the hot flashes"


"Had a terrible dry cough and Mucinex helped break the cough. It was easier for me to cough up my phlegm."


"I had terrible back pain and leg pain. Walking was getting very difficult even for short distances. The effect of Cymbalta was almost amazing. Within a week my pain had diminished to such a degree I felt almost normal. My pain was so bad I used to cry almost every night. I am just hoping this medicine keeps working for me."


"I had the Implanon inserted in August 2011. I like that I cannot get pregnant, my mood swings are just a little acting up and my eating habits are just the same. I've gained just a little bit of weight, but nothing the gym can help with. The only irritating thing I have going on right is that I've been bleeding since it was inserted. It's not heavy but light bleeding where it last for about a week. No cramping no crazy mood swings, like my doctor said everybody is different. You may bleed often or not bleed at all."


"Reading the effects some folks have had brings me right back to 1993. I was 2 months pregnant with my son, who is now 23. I was vomiting so badly and was given compazine as a suppository. It worked wonders for the first 2 days. My 3rd day was a trip to HELL! I was on the phone with my mom and my words started slurring. I then started having uncontrollable muscle spasms in my face. My upper and lower jaw started moving in opposite directions so severely that I had to hold my face in place screaming in pain! My husband had to rush me to the ER in the middle of a snow storm. It was a horrific experience and I can not believe that this drug still exists!
I was told that compazine is used as a component in other drugs, BEWARE!"


"I have mild to moderate acne, I was put on doxycycline at first and then put on something stronger (minocycline). I was on it for about a year and half or so. I no longer hand any refills left, my regular doctor told me she could no longer prescribe them and that I had to go back to the dermatologist. The first time I was off it I broke out like crazy, and I'm off it again and I am breaking out all over my chest and forehead. I'm still on the topical cream trentinoin. I'm hoping it's gonna go away, however, I'm afraid it's not because my skin is very oily and causes acne."


"I just started taking Zoloft 3 days ago for general and social anxiety. I have experienced side effects that include headaches, discomfort in my chest, nausea, decrease in appetite, losing weight already. Sometimes it feels like my head is bound up. I used to get really tense while driving, but with the medicine I don't get tense, just alert. I haven't been back to school or work so I'm not sure how effective it is for my social anxiety. I am now generally happy and I do not experience worrisome thoughts as much. It makes me tired and sometime I just pass out and wake up with insomnia.  I used to be very mean to my dog, I think he is seeing a difference in my behavior. I'm hoping the symptoms become less. 50mg then 100mg."


"My son is addicted to coricidan and it has ruined his life and our families lives"


"I have had psoriasis for over 40 years, and although it's just on my elbows and legs, I have tried all the usual remedies (topicals, light therapy, etc.).  I tried methotrexate this spring and in a matter of weeks, my psoriasis began to clear up. My doctor has me go for blood-work every month or so to make sure the methotrexate isn't affecting my liver.  We have decided to back off of the methotrexate during the winter in order to give my body a break.  But, I'll be anxious to begin it again come spring!"


"Dexedrine is okay! When I first took it I was excited and hoped to feel something. I was instantly in a good mood, more focused, and patient. However the come down off this drug is horrible. The depression and sadness start to come back and it's just discouraging that only a medication can band-aid those emotions. I have have felt overstimulated as well. I had a gastric bypass four years ago so my doc said no

XR but he put me on four 10mg a day which I feel is too much. I become agitated, irritable, paranoid, panicky, crying, etc. I decreased it to two a day. I feel that this might be too strong of a stimulant for me. I want to try Adderall since it's cheaper on my insurance and it has less dex. We'll see what he says at my next visit."


"I was given this shot in the E.R. for intense pain from a gallstone I had been dealing with and was scheduled to have removed. Unfortunately, the Gall Bladder became infected. The shot did nothing, nor did a second dose. I had already been in pain and I rarely get relief if I wait until it gets that bad instead of taking medicines consistently to keep it under control. My boyfriend, on the other hand, had a bowel resection and was also in extreme pain despite having a morphine pump. He was switched to Dilaudid and it relieved his pain immensely. As the reviews show, everyone is different. I don't know if I didn't get relief because it was too late for me so I rated it for that and for how well it worked for my friend."


"Works wonders for me.  My doctor started me on 10mg's 2x daily a month ago.  Now I am on 15mg's 2x daily.  Once in the morning and one in the evening.  I have taken anti-depressants for years now and have tried almost every one of them on the market.  Finally, I made myself see a psychiatrist. I was dealing with uncontrollable outbursts of anger. It made life difficult to the point I just wanted to stay at home alone. This was NOT me.  After a few days of taking this medicine I felt like I could deal with everyday life again.  Still taking things piece by piece but seemingly my moods are improving slightly because of this medicine. Give it a try."


"Hey everyone! I posted on 03/24 and thought I would give an update. Since 03/12 to today 04/09 I am down 17 pounds!! I do not exercise any. I no longer have dry mouth like I used to either which is great. I'll update again in about a month when I go back to the dr. Side effects at this time is 0."


"This medicine works extremely well. I have been very pleased with its effects and yielded results in many different areas in my life.  From greatly increased concentration to unknown sources of motivation to succeed, Vyvanse has helped me immensely.

I also think that I should put this in here too.  I am eighteen and have experienced depression before.  During one such battle, I thought that a "nice way to end things," would be to really overdose on my medicines.

Well, turns out that you just get a really strange night's sleep and an awful stomach ache for a day with your fair share of vomiting.  Needless to say, I learned my lesson and really just told myself how stupid I was and went on with life.

However, all in all, this medicine is very good."


"Hard on the stomach but tolerable. More tolerable than others."


"I have been taking lamictal for about 2 or 3 months. I still find myself occasionally hearing things and depressed but not as bad as I used to do. I also take Abilify, buspirone for anxiety, mirtazapine to sleep and eat. I think I am bipolar 1, I am not sure, but I am more stable think I used to be. I am able to concentrate more though and I give that to lamotrigine (lamictal). I wish I could gain weight I am too skinny."


"I've been on Suboxone for almost a year and a half now. Like most people taking this medicine I started out trying to kick a habit. I had always heard that Suboxone was just trading one addiction for another so I didn't want to take it for long. I tried to taper off after just 2 months of sobriety and relapsed almost instantly.  Now, I listen to the doctor and just take the pill. I have had side effects, and the most annoying is losing weight. I would recommend Suboxone to those who really are trying to change their lives.  Suboxone played a part in me gaining a life and I am very grateful for that. And anyone who thinks taking Suboxone doesn't make them clean has no idea what they are talking about, and they should see a real doctor."


"I have been on several non insulin drugs and nothing lowered my blood sugar untiI started glimipiride. At first I took one pill in the morning and one at dinner. I was still eating a large dinner and eating junk food. My sugar levels would go down but were,all over the place. When my A1C increased significantly in three months I knew I had to make a change. I now take Double the dose of glimipiride in the evening. However when I got serious about my diabetes, I changed the way I eat. Smaller meals more often is best on this medication in order to not have dips and spikes. A good breakfast and a mid morning snack works well. A moderate lunch with an afternoon snack makes good sense. A low carb-high lean protein dinner. The med works well"


"This is the only medication we've tried so far for my 11 year old son, but it works. His school work has done a 180 degree turn since we started on Dyanavel.  The only downside is the flavor, which he hates, but he's motivated do he takes it anyway. We haven't had any negative side effects other than reduced appetite I'm the first few months taking the medication.  He's back to raiding the fridge 24/7 now though."


"Tried this after my new Dr took me off of Ambien that I'd been on for 3 1/2 years  by a sleep Dr for my insomnia, I can stay wide awake for up to 48 hours & then if I do fall asleep only get between 2-6 hours of sleep. New Dr thinks I'm depressed BUT I'm far from that & keeps wanting to put me on depression medicine!! Called sleep Dr back in Iowa to tell new Dr here in Louisiana that I have insomnia which she did BUT new Dr doesn't believe sleep specialist!!"


"I have Adhesive Arachnoiditis which causes constant severe pain. I had been on many different medications including Oxy. I asked my dr to find a medication that would help with the pain and Most importantly NOT give me the "high" sensation. Nucynta 250 ER and Nucynta IR 50mg for break through pain has work wonders!! It doesn't eliminate my pain but it keeps it at a tolerable level. I have very few side effects. The most noticeable is breaking out in sweats. For no specific reason I will start sweating profusely while in an air conditioned environment.  Other than that I get a little drowsy sometimes. Nucynta has been a life saver!!"


"I am 18 years old, I have been on Loestrin 24 Fe for 1 year and 2 months so far and I am very happy with it. Before the pill I had unbearable cramps and my periods were very heavy, however within the first month on the pill my period became light, lasting 4-5 days, and my cramps became barely noticeable. As far as side-effects, honestly, I can be very irritable and/or emotional at times and occasionally a little nauseous, but that only lasts for a couple of minutes. Also, I did not gain any weight. I would recommend trying this pill, however everyone reacts differently."


"The only thing that works to stop chronic urticaria itch. This is the third time I've had chronic hives, & nothing else works. 10 mg 3-4 x a day. Skin still covered in hives, but the itch goes away mostly. Drowsy effect at first, but that goes away after a few doses."


"I've literally been bleeding two months and now I'm anemic because of the bleeding , I will NEVER have this implant put in again!"


"I am taking chemo. Dr prescribed it. Usually diarrhea next week Tue & Wed. Had that but also Thu morn it was terrible for 1&1/2hr. Took med in middle of all & it got better. Only 1 pill as prescribed. So glad it stopped it! No side effects."


"Had my first injection of Syn-visc 1 yesterday and have first total relief from knee pain in 10 years. The injection was not as painful as my cortisone injections. Hope I can stay pain free for a long time."


"Weight loss, insomnia, nausea, loss of appetite. EXTREMELY irritable. Sweaty palms. NO THANK YOU."


"This medication has greatly improved my quality of life! I have chronic tension headaches, everyday and all day, unless I take 25 mg of my Pamelar. I take it every night (because it does make me sleepy) and If I forget my headaches start right back up around 3pm the next day. One downfall is that I seem to craves snacks much more since I've been on this drug. I'll take that side-effect over chronic headache."


"the first night I took it I brushed my teeth, normally I don't look at my tongue but for some reason I felt the need to. I saw bumps and they were scary looking bumbs. Whiteness on the back of my tongue and yellow. It didn't hurt or anything so I thought maybe I just ate something too spicy. So I waited and the next day it was still there but not as bad so I figured it was going away. The 4th day of taking it, it started to hurt when I  swallowed so I got kinda worried, I've been getting acne pretty bad and I've been getting really sick to my stomach and headaches and fevers and so my stepmom believes I'm coming down with thrust, I looked up things that can cause thrush & turns out birth control was on that list."


"My 4 year old was prescribed this for asthma and i took him off it after hearing reviews about side effects. My son had a bad temper and was very aggressive but had been on singular since he was 2 so I didn't know if this was a stage he was going through or part of his personality. I took him off the tablets when I heard some bad reviews about suicidal thoughts and noticed very quickly how much happier and calmer my son became - he has not had angry outburst or wanted to hit anymore. I'm so disappointed that my doctors didn't warn me about how bad the side effects could be - I'm so pleased I've taken him of this and i also don't feel it helped his asthma much anyway."


"I have a seizure disorder and hypothyroidism and pre-diabetes. After just two doses had complete insomnia and horrible dizziness. Then a horrific headache. Maybe it was from my other meds or the seizure disorder but I can't take this medication."


"This is my first time taking birth control pills and so far LOVE it! I had an IUD put in last year and had it taken out within 2 months because I was consistently bleeding, got a rash all over my body and I had horrible cramping, but so far I haven't had any side effects with Chateal, yet. I read about this birth control before I took it and I was so afraid to even try it out, but I did and so far so good, everyone's bodies are different so don't be afraid to try it! I even asked my husband to help me track of any side effects that he may notice especially mood swings but he hasn't noticed anything either. I will update this review if I start to experience any side effects."


"It's been a month since I've had this IUD inserted and the physical pros outweigh the emotional cons. You do get random cramps, but I can tell that despite my not bleeding on my period I know that I am. No bleeding, but wow my sex drive is completely gone and I feel very anxious. Keep being paranoid about the strings but they can also blend into the side of the vaginal wall so don't freak if you can't find them. I need to have a check up tho. For now, I'm okay!"


"I was on 10mg of Lexapro for 6 years for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It worked great! I wanted to see if I could have a good quality of life without it since I did gain 40 pounds in that time.  I am on a weight loss program now since I had to go back on Lexapro. Withdrawal wasn't too bad. It took 4 months and I was off of it for 4 months. Had new stressful things to deal with and that's why I am taking it again. It's a great medicine I feel, just have to watch your diet!"


"I'm 29 years old and just had my 4th child. I got it inserted 7 weeks after having my 4th child. Insertion didn't hurt, just a little cramping. I felt dizzy for the 1st 20 minutes. Went to work and had light spotting. Now on my 4th day with the Mirena and I still have light cramping and spotting is now turning into regular bleeding. So far so good!"


"I am triating up to a dose of 300mg for PTSD.  I've had no fuzziness or other issues, I'm sharp as ever and I've lost about 15 lbs so far,  I was a muscular 140 lbs at 5'1", about a size 8 and now I'm about 126, still losing and down to a 6.  I'm about to make the step up to 200mg.  I went up in weekly steps of 25mg.  My doctor told me this was best and that there is a serious skin condition and an eye disease that can result from jumping up to a high dose too quickly, so I suggest asking your doctors about a slow triation to achieve maximum benefit and avoid fogginess."


"I have been on this for almost 6months! I have had no issues. I have had other terrible side effects from birth control but not this one! My periods have completely stopped, my face has cleared up! Only during the brown pills (period pills) when I would usually get my period, I get a couple pimples. Sometimes deep cystic pimples and get bloated. But other then that it's amazing. No birth control will be perfect so choose your battles "


"Hate this med. Constantly sick on it. Stomach pain, severe diarrhea, passing out, severe dizziness and unable to wake up. Hungry for food all the time. Nasty taste in mouth. Thirsty all the time. Can't motivate myself to do anything. This was on the lowest dose available. Won't take it ever again don't care what my doctor says. No way."


"I used the nuvaring for 9 months and it does work well with prevention of pregnancy, however it does make me super dry and sex painful at first."


"I was born with it in  I was on meds had the liquid kind and then got older they put me on the pills   and I am 20 years old they put me on triumeq  and its going good   but I just gain weight  but it cool always work out I am trying not to be lazy now"


"Excellent product. Cleared my acne in 1 week.  You have to follow the instructions to avoid skin irritation and limit Sun exposure."


"After two months I have low cholesterol and triglycerides. I take 10mgs daily for 60 days."


"Xa inhibitors such as Xarelto are increasingly becoming more commonly prescribed and very effective in treating Antiphospholipid syndrome (an autoimmune disorder that causes 'sticky blood' resulting in clots) as an alternative to Warfarin, particularly in the cases of patients such as myself who had unstable INR results. The side effects have been minimal, and possibly can't all necessarily be blamed on Xarelto as I take many other medications, some with similar side effects such as tiredness and headaches. The worst side effect for me is dizziness, but my specialist recommended I take it just before bed instead of the morning as the dizziness wears off within several hours."


"I have had a terrible experience. I got this birth control a month after I had my daughter and nothing but constant pain. My periods are worse and I'm a grouch. I have gained weight and overall I hate this product. Headaches are way worse too.  The reason you don't get pregnant is because your always bleeding ."


"I am 21 years old and have been on Depo-Provera for almost two years while in a four year committed relationship. My doctor recommended Depo-Provera for me because I suffer from chronic migraines so any birth control with a high level of estrogen would most definitely make my migraines worse. So far, I have to say I am pleased with my experience while on the depo shot. The side effects I have experienced have thankfully been able to be fixed/altered. Such as slight weight gain which I help to control with diet and exercise. Loss of sex drive which my longtime boyfriend is more than happy to help with. And I tend to start spotting around the time that my next shot is due. Once I receive the depo shot, within hours the spotting stops."


"I am taking Percocet 5/325mg every 6 hours as needed for migraines. It is the only thing I can use that works for me. It works within 20 minutes and takes my pain away."


"First- there is absolutely no difference between brand and generic. There can't be legally. It is the same active ingredient and the same strength. It's just the name and cost and inactive ingredinets.
 This being said... I don't understand where negative remarks come from. This medicine is amazing. I took it a while ago then asked to be changed to something else. I gained 20lbs and the other med didn't so anything. So I asked to be changed back. My leg muscles hurt and I have a few word issues but it's an amazing medicine."


"I had Skyla inserted 4 months ago. I took two ibuprofen prior to the procedure. The procedure itself only took about 15 minutes. I felt a sharp pain as the IUD was inserted and experienced cramps throughout the day. The next the day, they were gone. I did have some sharp cramps sporadically throughout the first two weeks I had the IUD, but they subsided. Since then, I've had no other real side effects, aside from lighter periods and I've noticed my hair seems to shed more than it used to. Overall, I'm very happy with the IUD so far."


"Had first bypass op in 1982, second a triple in 1992.  I have been taking 50 mg tablet per day (for 25 years now age 84. I take half the tablet in morning and half at night ( my own method ) have found this best for me. Have a little Fibrillation from time to time, in the form of hard heavy beat lasting about half hour. My blood pressure is good tending a little to the low side, pulse normally around 55-60. Have not had side affects that I am aware of ?"


"My thyroid was removed in 1990. Nothing worked well for me except Armour. Then suddenly this past year Armour was impossible to find. They're reformulating and left all of us hanging. I found out about Westhroid researching on the Internet. I've been on Westhroid for 3 months and it was only a week before I was back to normal. It is the perfect alternative to Armour while Forest Labs leaves the people relying on their product, in a lurch. "


"This is the only medcine I am allergic to.  Extreme itching!  I couldn't stop taking it too fast.  Luckily,  it doesn't have a very long half life."


"Taste was terrible and gave me a really bad after taste that I could don't get rid of.  It also made we really nauseous.  I would not use it again."


"Used it with Motrin for my strep throat. Worked pretty well just took a long time."


"I have chronic daily migraines, and have tried several medications for migraine prevention, including Depakote, Elavil (amitriptyline), nortriptyline, and propranolol.  The Depakote, amitriptyline and nortriptyline were too sedating.  The propranolol worked well, but I had too increase the dosage over time to the point where my blood pressure became too low.  Right now a combination of Topamax at 50 mg and propranolol extended release at 60 mg works best for me.  There are few adverse effects.  The Topamax does cause some frustrating cognitive difficulties but I think I can live with them, considering the relief it gives me from the migraines."


"since taking atenolol 50 mg twice daily for about a year i have been slightly weak, and gained a little weight which is hard to get off.  i think i have other side effects but nothing  extreme.  my problem, i mean the one that worries me, is nightmares.  i simply don't like having crazy nightmares.  i think i'd rather gamble on having elevated bp.  i think my quality of life will go up if i reduce the dosage, even though my longevity will probably go down.  i suppose there are other medicines which do the same as atenolol, but i think maybe it's better to see if i can get along without them.  of course, if my health gets worse, then i must give up and just do what the doctor tells me.  i trust my doctor, i just want to trust myself too."


"I was on Bactrim for 10 days because of a Bartholin Cyst that tested positive for MRSA. On the 7th day I started experiencing back pain, intermittent low grade fevers, chills, complete fatigue and eyeball pain.  An I.D. doctor wanted me to take it for another 7 days as a precaution but I had to force him to listen to my symptoms and he told me to stop taking the Bactrim. Also don't know if it matters that I'm not of 'normal' weight for most woman at 5'5 I'm 109lbs - the symptoms I experienced were also listed as possible "overdose"....stopped Bactrim today - feel terrible."


"It work's. Very well for me"


"I went to the dr with a pain in my left side. I was told I had a uti and perscribed nitro duration mono/Mac 100 mg 2x per day.  After taking this med I have had a constant headache, no appetite, I have stomach pains and I feel exhausted. I have no energy to do anything and with two boys that's not working well. I just called my dr to see if I could get on a different medication. The last time I had a uti the antibiotics I was on did not do this to me. I'm miserable! But glad to find this site. I was thinking I was developing a kidney infection. I'm thankful to know it's more likely a medication side effect."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"Dignosed 9/5/13!! Boy that was hard. Started on Atipla but after three days with the most horrendous dreams and pains, let alone the fact that I once I awoke I couldn't fall asleep again.I talked to my doctor, she is a sweetheart, changed to Stribild. No side effects. I started with a CD4 of 192 and VL of 78K. At the end of the first three months, my CD4 had climbed over 200 and my VL was less than 20. Currently Cd4 is >300 and have been *undetectable* since Dec' 2013. Worry about its cost...."


"Helps greatly."

"I am fifteen years old and I have been on LoEstin 24 Fe for six months. I am roughly 140 pounds, 5'6'', with no known history of women problems. I am about to switch to Seaonique because I don't like my birth control. It was great at first with only a little spotting which a panty liner was barely needed. It has made my cramps insufferable. All I want to do is lay down in a small ball in bed all day. It made my period a very dark color and it doesn't start until the 3rd brown pill and ends on the 3rd white pill. I have always had a lot of headaches and from taking this medicine they have increased in pain and frequency. Before LoEstrin 24 Fe I was on the Depo shot for 6 months. I switched because I gained 30 pounds in 6 months."


"I've only been using this for a little while now and I've already been having some side effects. One day I'll be so mad and then the next day I just want to cry over everything. Also been getting random painful headaches. "


"I haven't had big issues with this pill. I was on Junel Fe, but my pharmacy switched it back in early February or March of this year. I haven't really seen issues with this brand. I used to have really heavy periods, but now with Microgestin, they are really, really light. My last period was the lightest I had ever seen it, which makes me worry, but reading other comments I feel better. Everyone is different. I haven't had any weight gain or breast enlargements. I love the fact that I start my period every month on the same day, Tuesdays, (or sometimes Mondays). It usually lasts 3-4 days. The only "trouble" with this pill is the lightness of my period."


"I had been sweating since I was in 8th grade and now I'm (17). But now using this Hypercare has been helping a lot. I had been wearing black shirts all the time, never wore colorfully shirts. And when I wore sweatshirts my sweat would come through. Now I don't have that problem."


"Seen the best results in mood and energy level upon adding this drug two years ago. A huge relief after 10 years of struggling to find a medication regime that worked long-term with minimal  side-effects."


"I was getting attacked by cold sores even though I was taking Acyclovir. My Dr had me try Famcyclovir and since I started on it a year and half ago, I've gotten maybe 3 incidences."


"Stage 2B prostate cancer. Proton beam therapy coupled with six months on Lupron. Dreaded getting the second 3-month shot. Side-effects: Almost total loss of libido and sexual function within 30 days--lasting for several months post usage; debilitating hot flashes (2X/hour, 24/7); 15 pounds of weight gain; 50% increase in cholesterol under same diet; dangerous liver impact (GGT > 130) w/o alcohol use; significant breast growth."


"I have been on Nexium for probably 10 years now and it works well. I can really notice a difference if I run out or take something else..the problem is the cost of this medication is outrageous!"


"Contrave did make me nauseated. So what.  I would still be on it but had to have double cataract surgery. I think this is one of the less common side effects."


"I am from HK & have been on this Levothyroxine(Actavis brand) since Dec2016(when 1st diagnosed for Hypothyroidism). 2 months down the line feel no side effects.Its like just popping the pill.. which I want to stop. 1-2 weeks Initially had insomnia and palpitations as a side effect.Can I stop it over all?
Am also taking Amlodipine for my hypertension with BP levels now at near normal level of 130/76 average.Weight lost from 83Kgs no now 75Kgs average."

"I'm a 58-year-old female and I've taken Ritalin for about 16 years. This drug changed my life. It wasn't until the 80s that it was determined that you could have ADD without being hyperactive. Consequently, growing up I was considered an under achiever.  I dropped out of college and worked low-level management positions until I was diagnosed. My life changed when I was prescribed Ritalin. I became focused and organized. I set goals and followed a plan to achieve them.  I returned to college and graduated helping me secure a wonderful job where I excel. If you have been prescribed this drug do not hesitate to try it. It's never too late to be the person you always knew you could be."


"I have tried Lamisil twice ... in spray and cream. Absolutely no relief whatsoever other than a sting when you spray it on. "


"I was on Levora for about 9 years and have quit taking it now for about a year. I never became pregnant on this pill, so it definitely serves it's purpose, but I did have some common side effects that it seems a lot of woman complained about as well. My two biggest issues were a VERY decreased libido (almost non-existent), breast tenderness, and anxiety. I'm still suffering from anxiety issues, so I'm not sure if the pill contributed to the anxiety, or if I would've started having it even if I never started taking the pill."


"I had no problems when on Aviane or Lutera, but since my insurance switched me to Orsythia, my periods have gotten a bit longer, and my cramps have gotten worse. With Aviane and Lutera, I barely had any but now they're back to like before I was on the pill. Plus, my breasts have been achy when they didn't use to be and I've had more headaches. One month I was even worried I was pregnant because I was so tired, bloated and had so many headaches. I'm hoping I can get my doctor to write me a prescription for something else if my insurance doesn't cover Aviane or Lutera when I get my refill next month. Not terrible but not as good as Aviane or Lutera."


"Tramadol is such a good medicine for all kind of pains even I can't explain in my words. I was suffering Backache problem last three years but there is no effect by any medicine. Even I consult 5-6 doctors then one my father's friend told me start to take tramadol. Believe me within one year now I am absolutely fine."


"I have had the Implanon for about 8 months and I have nothing but problems! Mood swings and the feel of being tired and sick may be due to the loss of blood."


"I took Diovan for two months to reduce blood pressure.  It appears to be working, with no apparent side effects, other than COST.  It is not available as a generic and even with a good prescription benefit it was costing me $60/month."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Mixed it with half a packet of lemon-lime Crystal Light and refrigerated it. Didn't find the taste bad at all; consistency a bit weird (like watery maple syrup). No cramping, tiny bit of bloating until it started working. Drank a cup every 10 minutes. Started working 45 minutes after 1st dose (15 minutes after the 4th). Was able to sleep; did need to get up once. Second prep in morning; started working pretty much with the 1st dose. Pretty much ran its course after 2 hours."


"I was put on Cipro to treat a urinary tract infection. I was already on a medication that suppressed my immune system and even though the Cipro did wonders for my UTI, the side effects were unbearable. I was directed to take 1 250mg tabs twice daily for 3 days. I was only able to get through the first 2 days. The side effects were from what was a mild headache the first day to a severe headache the second day accompanied with muscle pain, joint aches, shortness of breath and even chest palpitations on the right side. I went in to see my doc and he said to come off them because even though they worked well for my UTI, my body was clearly unable to tolerate the side effects. Overall I say the medicine is very effective but is also strong so beware side effects."


"I started this medicine in nursing school. Very much so needed. I started seeing myself with less worry, and a more of a "whatever" type of mentality. I figured that worked for me. However, my biggest problem has been the weight gain. Before I knew it I gained atleast 25 lbs. I'm a very active person and I do what wait I eat, especially since I am a cardiac nurse. Also make sure you NEVER miss a day of the medication. My side effects would be vertigo and shooting nerve pains in my head. I just upped my dosage to 150mg hoping it will increase my energy and help with weight loss. I was really bad off emotionally before so besides everything above, I have my life back."


"I take 0.5 mg as needed when I have an occasional anxiety attack"


"My experience with Nexplanon went well considering the fact that it kept me protected. I was numbed in the arm before they inserted it so it didn't hurt, and I was able to have sex a week or two afterwards with no worries. It will NOT help with irregular periods and may make your periods much longer than normal unfortunately. However, it's extremely effective and I didn't have any weight gain or harsh side effects other than a longer period. It won't clear up skin and won't promote breast growth."


"Just made it bigger and it started to bleed. Day 5 and no relief in sight. waste of time and money,  I just hope it did not cause more damage."


"I started with Bydureon at first for about a month and started having lumps at the injection sites, so the Dr switched me to Victoza.  For the first 2 weeks I had a lot of nausea but after that it leveled out and I started feeling great.  So after 3 months I have lost 52 pounds!  My appetite has decreased and for the first time I can eat a small portion and feel full.  NO more cravings immediately after I finish eating. I love this medication.  My blood sugar levels have been between 89-94."


"At a starting weight w a new doctor 440 lbs. I tried adipex. I only took it a week before I stopped due to headaches, heart racing just getting up to go to bathroom. But with sheer willpower alone in one year I lost 120 lbs . After losing average 10 lbs a month my weight leveled out and I couldn't get but 5 lbs a month. So we decided to try Adipex again.  I started Aug 15 at 316 now Sept.13- 295lb.  This time no side effects I'm exercising more and feeling great. Hoping for the best"


"I've been on Chateal birth control pills for 3 weeks now and I've experienced constipation, fatigue, nausea, and really bad mood swings. But I guess my body is just getting used to it because it's my first time trying birth control pills ever.

Provided by Planned Parenthood"


"I have been on Victoza since 5-9-14 started with .6 and on 1.2 now. I have noticed my reading are now 80s to 150.  This medicine is doing a great job. I am now off my glipizide and metformin and only take the Victoza which has caused no side effects that others have spoken of.  I think this is a great medicine for diabetes.  Thanks Victoza."


"When I first started taking this It was for pre-menopause I was put on Paxel  for hot flashes and night sweats because they were so bad I was having that nearly  50 to 60 hot flashes a day. I now have them about 20 times a day  that's on a good day. I cannot take anything with hormones due to a genetic disorder that I have. "


"So paragard worked great for 3 years till I got pregnant with twins at the worst time in my life. Just got back to work that I now I have to quit soon. I did my yearly check ups and 6 months before I got pregnant was my last exam and it was perfect. Well the ultra sound and doctor both said the IUD was in place perfect and had no idea how we got pregnant... do not take this method unless u want pregnant."


"Had a lot of cramping and fatigue but worked!"


"I was switched to Mibelas from Minastrin (probably because my insurance wanted to cover the generic.) It was effective in preventing pregnancy and after a few months my period stopped completely. In the last month or two I was on it I became very depressed and experienced mood swings. I also gained about 10lbs since starting it but I'm not positive I can attribute it to the birth control. But since being off Mibelas for 2 1/2 weeks and on Lo Loestrin I have lost around 2lbs and do not feel the depression or mood swings I felt in Mibelas."


"Save yourself and DO NOT take this. I've been on BC since I was 15 and have never had this many problems. I've literally been on this pill for one WEEK and every single night I've had the most insane and vivid dreams. Last night I woke up in a full blown panic attack, racing heart, beading sweats. I've never had issues with anxiety and or panic attacks up until I've started taking this pill. In addition to the terrible sleep, every day I get a new GIANT boil/cyst pimple. I've always had very clear and non-oily skin up until now. These are not normal pimples with heads but huge, painful, and hard ones. I wouldn't wish these symptoms on my worst enemy. I am taking these and flushing them down the toilet. I'd rather be knocked up! its that bad"


"I have bladder infections from group B Strep bacteria, much harder to get rid of than E. coli because it keeps coming back. Augmentin worked the first time, but didn't clear it up this time. Nitrofurantoin is still not taking out the complete sting. Makes me instantly drowsy- almost like a sleep aid. Had some mild stomach issues but could be attributed to period."


"When I found out the my Finacea Foam Rx was going to cost $275 I turned it down. Then I decided to buy a tube and see if it really worked. I was immediately impressed with the product. It not only clears up the burning and redness, but it also makes my skin more smooth and soft.

On a Dec 2016 trip to France I asked a pharmacist if there was an equivalent in France. In fact, they had the exact same product in cream form instead of foam. And the price was only 30 Euro, I brought 4 tubes home to last me until my next trip to France.

I swear by Finacea!"

"I've been on this pill for 5 months now. I never had the greatest skin, but it was never horrible either. After the first month on Tri-Sprintec, I noticed my acne getting worse and worse. Right along the jawline and neck and even back! And, I'm talking huge cyst like pimples that hurt! They always clear up the last week on the placebo's but flare right back up again as soon as I start a new pack. Obviously, birth controls vary on the individual. My friend is on Tri-Sprintec and her skin is looking better than it ever did."


"Amazing ... I was on YAZ and it caused spotting and weight gain, after a year they switched me to Portia and I lost all the weight and haven't spotted since; also my PMS is completely nonexistent now and the killer mood swings I experienced on YAZ are gone too.  I can't stop raving about how great Portia is, it made me feel like myself again."


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


"Ok first I will start with the cons. The insertion hurt. A lot. I would say it was a 7-8 on the pain scale. But it was way faster than I expected it to be. Afterwards, I felt like I had bad period cramps. I took ibuprofen and applied a heating pad, and within a few hours the pain had subsided.

Now for the good parts. My period was somewhat irregular but light for the first few months. By the third month, my period stopped, and it hasn't returned since. It's SO amazing not having to have a period, and not having to worry about taking a pill, needle, etc., It has literally been worry-free. I definitely recommend trying the Mirena if you don't want kids for several years!"


"I have been on Cymbalta 30mg for the last 5 days. I noticed a lot of side effects good and bad. The bad ones include insomnia, dizziness, nausea, and dry mouth. The two good side effect was less urgency to urinate and fewer hunger pangs. I used to run to the bathroom every hour and almost constantly eat. My mood is improving and I seem to be coming out of my shell. In a few more days my dose will double and I am sure this medication will work. I feel as if I am on the right path to becoming who I used to be years ago."


"I am a healthy, active, college student, and I have experienced no negative side effects from this pill. I was scared to start it because so many other users gave it bad reviews, but I've been on it for 3 months and I've had no bad side effects at all. I'm also not pregnant so the pill seems to be working correctly. Micronor hasn't changed my moods or made me gain weight. The only noticeable change has been my breast size. Within the first month of taking Micronor, my bra size increased from a C to a D. I use condoms with Micronor to be extra safe, since it is not quite as effective at preventing pregnancy as other birth control pills."


"I got this implant in Sept 2012, and I'm definitely looking forward to taking it out this coming Sept.  The only pro here is that it is definitely effective. I've been in a committed monogamous relationship for the duration of having this implant, we are a very "active" couple, and I'm still kidd-o free w/o worry. The Cons: I weighed in about 140 when I got this, and am currently weighing in at 167 - almost 30 lbs heavier in less then three years. Disclaimer, I am now 31, so a small amount of this may also be due to slowed metabolism, but def not 30 lbs. I sometimes have a 2 month period, and I sometimes go two months w/o one, there is no predicting it. I have crazy mood swings for no reason, even when I'm not on my period.    Not worth it."


"I'm 5'4" 45 years old, started at 225, took other meds got to 212, doc put me on these to help with cravings, and just being hungry all the time , started Dec 18th, I probably gained some over Christmas, this morning I'm 208, no major issues, definitely has helped being hungry, and cravings, on 2:1, Friday I'll move to full dose. I am more regular so no constipation, or diarrhea. I did wake up a few nights with heart palpitations, but I think it was from eating dark chocolate. Only reason I'm not giving it a 10 is I'm not on full dose, or long enough to know if it will stay this effective for me."
