"It's my 7th day and beginning the new round...I go up from 500 mg to 1,000 mg today. I haven't seen anything as of yet. Maybe some gas. Finally a doctor has noticed this syndrome and now being treated. I'm 41 and it should have happen when I was in the 4th grade to at least high school.
I have the pimples, had the monthly problems, weight, the horrible hair, and more.
I have a lot of hope in this medicine and change in life!
I also told 2 of my cousins about it as well."


"Day 5. Still coughing up gunk. Wheezing some. No voice. Not really feeling any relief. Have to call my Dr again in the morning."


"39 year old mom of 4. On my 2nd bout of diverticulitis (1st one 7 years earlier) I was given 10 days of Flagyl & Cipro. I took them together twice a day, & then the 3rd Flagyl by itself at night. I noticed a minimal yucky taste when taking them, but by the time I had finished my water, it was usually gone. I had a metallic taste approximately 3 times total, that lasted just minutes. By the last part of day 2 I was feeling better, day 3 there was no more pain. By the 4th day there was some discoloration of urine - rusty colored to orange. I never ever felt anxious, nauseous, had diarrhea, or felt tired. Overall, great experience with the combo of meds!"


"Was taking 2x for 3 days, it cleared up the smell but still in major discomfort and pain when peeing, clearly didn't work for me. I had a headache on the 2nd day and kept falling asleep due to drowsiness. Third day nothing has really improved with my UTI and I still feel psychically weak."


"I have been on Trulicity since January. After taking Metformin for 10 years, along with Januvia the last year, I was having less success controlling my numbers. For the last year I was on Metformin, prescribed by a different provider, I suffered from diarrhea several times a day when she increased it to 1000mg BID and my glucose was not controlled. My current Endocrinologist changed my medications to Glipizide and Trulicity. I had minimal nausea for a couple of days with my first dose of Trulicity. That has been my only side effect. My glucose was under control within one week. Down from over 200 to within normal limits (70-110). After 90 days my a1c was down to 6.8 from 9.1. All of my other labs were normal. I am happy."


"I started taking Adipex on March 15th. Today is May 28th and I'm down 15 lbs. It seems to be very slow coming off, unlike the other users who say the weight just 'drops off'. It's not what's happening to me, however I do take an antidepressant that may slow the weight loss down a bit. I have changed my eating habits completely, however I still haven't found the time to exercise. If it's that time of the month, I may even go up a few pounds, then the following week, I'll be back down. It's definitely worth it."


"Couldn't make it without it. I had a broken neck and torn ligaments 30 years ago."


"I learned that it is best to take Pristiq in the morning because it is a stimulating, time release drug. I try and take it by 9 am. It can affect sleep if you take it later. I had decreased appetite and some nausea so take with food in the morning. I avoided any caffeine and alcohol as that can increase side effects."


"I have a molar abscess. After taking Clindamycin 150 mg an hour ago, I was awakened by severe burning pain in my chest.  I called the pharmacist who told me to take two antacids. I already ate a little yogurt and bread with butter. I didn't know that this medicine should be taken with a full glass of water and not to lie down for 30 minutes after taking it."


"It's the first time I take Bactrim since my mom is  usually taking it to cure her UTI. I don't have any prescription regarding my UTI so I tried it since it was recommended by my mom. As far as I know, I don't have allergies with medicine.  After 2 hours of taking it, I woke up feeling itchy and my face was swollen. I wont take this med ever again even it cures UTI.."


"9-17-2015 The other reviews compel me to expand my comments.  All Movantik does is land on the receptors in your stomach.  These receptors are the ones opioid normally land on which makes it difficult to have a movement.

I still have responsibility for what I eat and taking stool softeners and Senna tablets so my stool is soft.  Otherwise I would be experiencing possible blockages.  It is now 3 weeks and it works  for me.  But you have to pay attention.

Also I am not a doctor.  This just my experience."


"I started taking Minastrin October 2015. I lost weight taking this pill, have had great skin, and I don't really have a period. I am 24 years old and have one child. This pill has been great so far, but after reading other people's experiences with side effects I feel relieved knowing that I'm not the only one that has frequent mood swings the week before I start my placebo pills. I don't take my pill at the same time everyday. Overall this has been a great contraceptive."


"I have been taking Seroquel for two nights now, 50mg. It makes me extremely drowsy, right now I feel very out of it. But for the first time I'm socializing. I'm calm and have had less psychosis. Have hallucinated today but it hasn't been frightening. I'm just happy I'm socializing again! Just the drowsiness can be a bit of an issue. I've also felt sick on them but it's only been two days."


"I have been taking prozac for the past 7 weeks. I have always been a worrier but it got a lot worse during 2nd semester of my first year in medical school. Despite my anxiety and depression I was always a straight A student. I had great study skills and I had great concentration. But I started fearing studying and going to classes because it usually triggers my anxiety. So I just stopped doing school work and I just slept. My parents stated getting worried and they took me to see a psychiatrist. He put me on prozac (20mg). Prozac really helped me at first. I watched movies and spent a lot of time with my siblings but my academic performance  was bad. Since then it has gotten worse. Should I just withdraw? Should I give up my dream?"


"I've been using this with doxycycline for about a month and a half and my skin has cleared up completely with the exception of some minor scarring. I put about a pea sized amount on at night and it goes on smoothly and doesn't leave a film or anything like some other topicals. Such a life saver!"


"I am 17! I was detected with pcod with insulin resistance!! I found out the symptoms like hair growth on stomach chest, oily skin ,acne , irregular periods and weight gain like really fast weight gain! So i am taking meformin 500mg! I take the medicine twice a day and yes i had been of great use i lost 2 kgs in 25 days bcz of diet control and the medication! And yes my periods are also regular!"


"in april/may of 2011 i my right foot kept falling asleep over a 3 day period & i had a tingling sensation creep across my groin after 3 days of my right foot falling asleep & the tingling sensation creeping across my waist i was numb from the waist down for 2 weeks since then my feet fell asleep & NEVER woke up i finally got on lyrica & and it has help some with the tingling sensations but it has me feeling oh so stoned thankfully i get my lyrica through the county health department and it doesnt cost me"


"One of the worst medicine I ever had to conceive baby. It will lead u to miscarriage."


"I was extremely nervous about this prep.   I'd heard all the stories and such about it.   My biggest concern was the possible interactions with my current medication.  I took the advice of many and stocked up on powerade to avoid possibilities of electrolyte imbalances.

As for the medication itself, I'd have to say the worst part about it was the taste and having to drink so much all at once.  ( The digestive issues I am having is that EVERYTHING I eat or drink makes me nauseous).  So, I eat very little at a time.  With this medication, it tasted like the old formula Robitussin (nasty flavor).   Needless to say, I vomited soon after the first 16 oz of water.   Effective?  Definitely cleaned me out.   Pleasant?  Nope."


"Only on day 4 of Pristiq, 50 mg, but definitely feel a difference. Yesterday was the first day I didn't feel like getting through the day was going to kill me. Had a miscarriage 3 1/2 weeks ago, but always had disthymia (clinical depression.) Tried everything you can imagine before. Celexa helped but stopped working a year ago. Also gained weight due to antidepressant. I've lost a pound or so this week since starting Pristiq, and I don't feel so hopeless and sad since yesterday. I am smiling again, laughing again and making jokes. I'm not feeling as happy as I know I can, but I've only been using Pristiq for 4 days. I'm looking forward to continued results. Side effects? If there are any I haven't noticed as I'm still dealing with miscarriage."


"I used buspar 5mg once every few years.  It's very good for me and very mild.  I tried double dosage once and I was groggy.  But on 5mg, I was perfectly normal.  When I get my anxiety attack (once every decade or so) my hands shake, can't eat, color of my face goes pale....  but immediately soon after taking buspar, I feel much better.

Please note that these medication don't work just as well on everybody.  The nature of psychotropic medication would work wonders on one person, and horribly or not at all one another person.  You gotta keep trying until you find something that works for you."


"I started with 0.5 tablets a day with no improvement (should be a stage to test any side effects resulted)
0.5 tablets more for every diagnosis.
Kept a level of 3 tablets for longtime
A peak of 4 tablets after 1 year and 2 months due to an sad period of my life
I almost got no side effects and my anxiety kept reducing with less washing action for my clothing and less care of tiny dirt (Kind of dirt that I concern)
However, my mood is still not always good (except those anxiety from dirt). Not sure what matters
But overall Lexapro helps me a lot! At least I have more time to sleep (I used to wash my stuff until 3-4am 3-4 days a week but now I seldom wash, I have my normal bedtime even though I need to wash Sth)"


"Upper respiratory infection
Zithromax  250mg  My doctor gave me a z pak
2 tabs on day 1 followed by 1 tablet the next 4 days. Total tablets 6.
Zithromax is the generic drug for Azithromycin. First time prescribed. **Note I have asthma** and was feeling more fatigued and light headed. Drugs.com interaction* checker* pointed out that since I used 2 inhalers. A. Pro-Air and 2. Advair that my potasium level would be affected. A moderate interaction warning. I started drinking gatorade and began to feel better. My mom is diabetic, and gatorade makes  flavored 12oz bottles that has potassium and will not affect your blood sugar."


"I am 18 Years old and was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst just about a little more that 1 month ago so I was put on the birth control for that reason.
Week 1: Was on period. Horrible on the 2nd day of taking the pill I threw up all day and had nothing to eat.
Week 2: Not as bad as week one though experiencing weight gain from 132.2 to weight 138.8 almost 139lbs
Week 3: Started period early noticing a lot of shedding of the hair. Moody boyfriend can see that I am very angry and mean at this point.
Week 4: Diet change, feeling a lot better no more sleepiness.
1 Mo.: Doing alot better weight going back down (134.8)."


"Hurts way too much to continue using this product. I've taken weeks break and still is unbearable. Wish it would have worked for me. Using Sweat block now, doesn't work as well but there is no pain involved."


"38 YOA Male.  Started Dec 2015 at 238lbs.  April 2016 at 196 lbs. That's down 42 lbs.  My metabolism is super slow.  I'm eating around 1000 calories a day in order to see movement.  I workout 4-5 xs a week, for 45 mins a day.  I log my calories with the Lose It app and weigh everyday with Scaledown.  I have not experienced any side effects other than colors being brighter."


"My daughter was given this gel for her leg pain but it had an adverse reaction for her.  It burns her and she refuses to use it so she gave me a tube for my arthritis in both my knees, my hip, back and ankles.  WOW!  This is a dream come true.  It seems to work immediately for me and putting it on right before bed allows me to sleep all night because I have slight to no pain.  I wake up, use it and then my day goes by MUCH better.  I'm going to try to remember to actually take it to work with me so I can apply it there.  I keep forgetting.  Praise God for allowing me to try this gel.  I was leery at first but tried it anyway.  I am TRULY amazed and will buy more and more and more.  Thank you for this amazing discovery."


"I have been using this medication for the past seven days.  I have felt nauseous for most of that time plus a constant headache, plus my eyes are red all day.  I think I will go back to my over the counter eye drops."


"I have been on Dexedrine XR 2 15mg in morning for 19 years and I don't know what I wound do without it. When I go a day with it I just can't seem to get my everyday living done I feel scatter brain my thoughts don't make sense some time and I feel like my brain cant keep up with itself and that is no way to live. I'm so thankful for this medicine because without I don't know where I would be in life. "


"This medication has worked far better than any of the other medications that I have tried before, including Fentanyl, Percocet, and Morphine. I still have a lot of pain, so I do take another pain medicine between doses because it is necessary. Methadone controls my pain for longer periods than any of the other medications that I have been on. In my personal opinion, as long as this medicine is used as it is prescribed, it is very useful and the benefits are astounding."


"It is an effective product; I take about 2 pills every 2-3 days and they work predictably, usually about 10-12 hours after taking them. Many people have complained about cramping, but the cramps are actually generally quite mild, as long as you drink at least a glass of water right after taking the pills."


"I would just like to add that it being my second time taking it both times it gave me nightmares and I would not call them seizures but more so define them as  erratic,involuntary muscle spasims.Also, after taking other benzodiazepines I would disagree to it helping better than those. I think with the benzodiazepines you just have to find the right dosage for you as an individual. Also, sometimes what helps one individual, is not always going to help the next. Everybody reacts differently to different chemicals and medication. So even though it helps my anxiety during the day at night just the thought of the nightmares it gives me, gives me anxiety."


"This product works very well to eliminate skin cancers.

It becomes quite irritating after a few days, and very irritating at about 10 days, but it gets rid of the skin cancer in a couple of weeks."


"I have been getting migraines for 23 years, I'm 43 now. I get 3 -4 migraines per week. I used to take imetrex but that started to not so well. It usually took 60 to 90 min to work and I would always feel tired after taking it. I went to a neurologist and he started me on Relpax. What a difference! I have 80mg pills that I cut in half. Within 30min I am good as new. No major side effects for me which is great. I highly recommend giving it a try. I still get about 4 migraines a week but I can take 40mg and they go away. Now if I could only find a daily pill that would reduce the frequency of my migraines...."


"10 days I'm feel a bit out of it- tired then wired but has alleviated the tense feeling from Pristiq 100mg & 50mg isn't enough to keep all anxious depression symptoms away.  I think I need more of the S than the N in the SNRIs.  I've taken zoloft previously with success but changed to Effexor then Pristiq for a little more motivation 4 years ago but it does cause weight gain for me compared to SSRIs. Prozac has killed my appetite & don't even think about food- bonus!  I know it will improve in weeks. I started at 5 mg for 10 days kept taking Pristiq EOD I'll go to 10mg &Pristiq every 3rd day then cut Pristiq. Don't do withdrawals & why do people have obsession with trying to get off meds if they work stay on them of course you will crash you idiots!"


"Great info. Have taken suboxone years ago for an OxyContin "vacation" from reality so I knew it was just as addictive and spent a week in bed with the flu that prevented me from taking it so was horrible. Just coming off over a year of OVERPRESCRIBED hydromorphone (dilauded) 48+ a day. Started running out earlier and earlier and finally just decided, after scaring my family, was time to stop. Thought I was smart and 3 days of TINY amount of suboxone and I'd be fine. Not so much...over a week later had to DEMAND they let me try this as I can't control the CNS issues. I drink a lil so I'm nervous. Plan to try first dose tonight and praying for sleep and just mind/body rest. MD's don't like it when YOU think of getting off meds before they do!"


"I was very pleased with my Lupron experience.  I was on a six month course and found the first three to four months easy.  I did experience hot flashes, mood swings, and slight insomnia.  My fifth and sixth month were a little more difficult for me.  The hot flashes became a little more apparent, the mood swings more frequent, and my face began to break out.  To me, that was the worst.  Along with the Lupron, I had a laproscopy 2 months before the medication and I started acupuncture treatments about a month before beginning Lupron which really helped with the side effects.  My pain levels before medication were unbearable.  I could hardly bring myself to get out of bed.  I now notice that my pain level is low if I have any at all."


"I guess Bayer dosen't give a damn about its consumers. There still selling the afrin with the bottle that can't be opened."


"Get a nasty infection from a spider bite. Antibiotic ointment wasn't doing anything for it. SilvaSorb was a miracle."


"I have been on Lexapro for a little over a month now. I immediately saw a change in my engery level. I got the motivation to get out of bed and be active again. My temper has subsided a lot. I used to cry a lot and I have not cried in weeks. I actually stop and think prior to showing anger. It has helped so much. I have not seen any fluctuation in weight. I have been sleeping more soundly. This is the first medication I have been put on for this medication and it seems to be working great."


"I've only experienced two side effects while taking this medication: lethargy, which is intermittent, and prolonged orgasm - which I enjoy.  It does it's job, making emotions much easier to control.  I thought taking this would make me happy all the time, but I didn't notice anything like a "switch" going on or off.  I'm glad, I still have emotions, they are just more muted - the bad ones.  Again, love this medicine for it's ability to prolong ejaculation."


"I have been using the brand Lamictal for about 5 years... I love it... I have had a rash in the beginning of starting it that went away aftet 2 weeks or so.. I do have some trouble with my vision... But, I am willing to put up with the vision issues if it means me not having a seizure... My advice to anyone that is on it.. Do Not stop it withoit talking with your Dr first... It is one of those meds that you have to be weaned off of.... I've  tried other seizure meds and I've  had no luck... This is by far the best for me..."


"I have suffered from acne for about 4 years. It is moderate not severe. I tried antibiotics but nothing cleared it. My dermatologist suggested Accutane but my acne just wasn't severe enough to risk all of those horrible side effects. I went back to my family doctor and he prescribed me Benzaclin. I began using this with Neutrogena rapid clear oil removing face wash and immediately I saw results. This wash really helped dry up my oily skin and keep it matte all day long. No moisturizer as this seems to just encourage breakouts for acne prone skin. My acne is totally clear right now and I just have red pigmentation spots from where my acne was, for now I cover it with make up until it fades but already the Benzaclin has done wonders to lighten."


"My doctor switched me to this, I was on Ocella before this. So far, I've been on this stuff for just about a month. No acne or weight gain. However, I have been having the WORST mood swings I have ever had in my life. I feel like a crazy person. I am definitely calling my doctor after Christmas to switch back to Ocella. "


"Been on it for a little over 2 months. The first month was non stop spotting and a lot of it along with really bad cramps. Finally it stopped and I got my first official period since getting the Skyla along with serious period sypmtoms and a feeling of extreme exhaustion. Then about a week and half after the period I began spotting again for the next 2 weeks. Now I have insane mood swings, gas, minor cramps..period symptoms. This birth control is obviously working because of the changes going on. It just comes at a cost."


"Have had panic attacks off and on for 37 yrs. and this is the BEST of all the benzo family  for relief!! IT WORKS !!!"


"I am technically taking this for reactive arthritis, that I have struggled with on and off for 15 years.  Most recently on a 4 year stint, where I have been talking steroids.  The idea was that this would allow me to get off of steroids.  It took a few months to seem to help, but now (6 months) I have been weening off the steroids.  In the beginning  I experienced migraines, which I never had before, about 2 per week, Now about 1 per month. I also regularly experience diarrhea, not having to go more often, but lose stool when I do.  Annoying but tolerable.  It also seems to work as an appetite suppressant, which is positive side effect for me at 40 yrs old  lost about 8 lbs so far. So overall pretty good med now that migraines are less."


"I have been taking 150MGx2 along with 10MG of Lexapro to help with chronic depression. Due to divorce this summer, I told my Dr I was feeling more depressed and he raised my dose of Seroquel to 200x2 at bed time. I am a teacher and the last 2 days I have not been able to get up. I start to get dressed and wake up hours later standing at the mirror with a toothbrush in my hand. Lucky for me we don't have students yet but I am terrified I will continue oversleeping and miss my classes. Also, I am having muscle spasms in my right hand, dropping things I am holding, throwing eggs across the room. The only change in my routine is the bump up in dose so the problem has got to be that. "


"About a week and half ago, I noticed some abdominal pain and bloating and thought I must have severe gas that wouldn't release and took some antacid tablets for a few days. Then after not having a regular bowel movement after around 10 days and only about 2 In that time (normally once a day) I decided I had to do something as I continued to eat relatively normal and a good amount yet nothing was exiting my body and figured it may be time to even seek emergency help. My father recommended magnesium citrate and needless to say it has relieved a lot of pain. After days of straining in pain, I had a bowel movement within 20 minutes that relieved some initial pain, but then nothing happened for about 5 hours and then wow...a river of poo. "


"After having six UTIs in about 5 months, my urogyn put me on 100 mg. of Macrobid (one every night).  After ten solid months of it, I spent 2-1/2 days in the hospital:  thought I was having a heart attack!  Turned out it was a pulmonary problem.  Heavy pressure in the chest, shortness of breath and tingling around the lips.  Going back and researching Macrobid, I found out that indeed, long term usage can cause pulmonary problems.  I do think if works for short term usage."


"I am 20 years old and have had problems with bowel movements since I've been potty trained. I've usually had one extreme to the other but going to the bathroom was never easy for me. I finally went to see my doctor to see if there was anything we could do about this. Throughout my childhood I've been on different medications, but nothing helped. Now finding out I'm lactose intolerant doesn't help either). She prescribed me Miralax and I have to say when I use it correctly (that is taking it everyday and drinking enough liquids with it) it works wonders. I no longer get stomach cramps or gas. "


"Geez, people - brain chemistry is a personal thing, and so are your issues - don't tell other people "don't waste your money" because you tried something for one night and had nightmares.

As for me, it works pretty well. I've tried everything, and the only things that work are the benzo's and benzo-like drugs, however, I would need to increase the dose every night to overcome tolerance, which means I can only take them for a few nights a month. The Belsomra seems to have no side effects for me whatsoever, just a gentle urge to sleep (which can be easily ignored if necessary, unlike a good dose of ambien which is dangerous) and the ability to stay asleep or fall back asleep."


"Kept me from getting pregnant and was easy to remember to take because of packaging, but it made me nauseous in the morning for the first couple of months."


"I smoked 39 - 40 years and with the help I've not smoked a cigarette in over 6 years"


"I had promised myself that if this drug works I would write a review. I was terrified to get pregnant and I hopefully I can put some minds to ease sharing my story.

Details: semi-unprotected sex (1 min unprotected, then switched to a condom); May 10th. Took plan b May 12th (38 hours after). Got period May 26th. (Expected)

Symptoms: nothing first two days. Day 3-6 tiredness, extremely sore breasts, a little bit of queasiness. Day 6-8 tiny bit of old brown discharge but all the other symptoms had gone. Day 8-11 nothing and I was worried it hadn't worked. Day 12-15 extreme cramping, bloating, and almost hardness of lower abs and ovaries. It hurt and I was worried it was implantation cramping! It had pretty much stopped and then I got period"


"On Saxenda for about a month and dropped 18lbs with no ill effects whatsoever but my insurance does not cover it, and my out of pocket is almost $1,300.  Everything I have tried, nothing worked except Saxenda but I can't afford it......why does it cost so much?  Is there a breakdown on the cost posted somewhere?  I guess Novo Nordisk a/s is making quite a bit, sure would like to see who gets paid what.....tomast106@yahoo.com"


"I have been on Abilify for about 14 years and I have found it to be very beneficial. I suffered from verbal and visual hallucinations. Thanks to Abilify I have been symptom free for a number of year. Thank God."


"I am a 24 year old male and have semi oil skin. Never had acne until after high school around 20 years old so I guess you can call it adult acne.
Anyway, I was dealing with cystic acne on my chin, cheeks, jawline and even some times on my nose. It was considered mild-moderate but still very uncomfortable coming from 20 years of a completely clear face. I would have anywhere from 6-8 decently sized cysts on my face at any given time. For almost 5 years I tried everything all sorts of washes and crap I read online which none worked. Finally went to a derm 3 months ago and got Bactrim 800-160 within a week my acne cleared and has been 99.9% gone ever since taking it twice a day every day."


"I had a constant 24/7 headache for two years straight before trying Botox. I tried every other conceivable medication to no avail, but Botox cut my pain to a third of its previous level. I still get injections every four months or so, but it's been three years and I still have the much lower pain level, can work, and am thankful everyday for Botox."


"Been on Lexapro for 4 years now. Have taken an SSRI for 15 years to battle Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Have taken Paxil & Zoloft in the past, but Lexapro trumps them, hands down. With Paxil & Zoloft I woke with anxiety. None with Lexapro. It's great and has improved my quality of life tremendously."


"Great medicine, depression improved a lot. Now on 7th week, and relatively low depression, panic attacks and anxiety. Side effects also subsided. Lost almost 6-7kgs but now gained 3kgs only  in a month"


"Diagnosed with ADHD at age 8, I have tried Strattera, Concerta, Adderall, & Ritalin (all had a zombie effect to no effect). It wasn't until mid 8th grade that I was prescribed Vyvanse. A miracle as far as my school performance, grades went from C's & D's to straight A's. Not only did I actually WANT to take it, Vyvanse compelled me to ace my schoolwork, resulting in consistent grades of 95  (the only downside being that it induced OCD behavior.) However, while I started at 40mg, I steadily increased to 70mg (max dose) by the end of 10th grade. I have since graduated high school, but due to the tolerance I built up to the medicine it no longer affects me nearly as well as it did before. Though I still recommend it to anyone with ADHD."


"I tried this medicine for the first time during my last cycle. It worked immediately and drastically reduced my extremely heavy flow. However, I had headaches the first few days. This is not a usual experience. Also, I am usually EXTREMELY REGULAR. As of today, my cycle is 14 days late. I am not complaining and hope it never returns. "


"Unlike any other anti-depressant I have tried, if I missed a single dose withdrawal symptoms would immediately begin.  Scary dreams accompanied by brain zaps are just a few that need to be shared!! They seemed so real!! It was a side-effect that I could not handle and everyone should be warned about the night terrors before starting this medication.  I can only imagine the horror of missing two doses. That alone was enough for me to switch back to Celexa. It did help with my mood but this medicine seemed too potent or too dangerous for some reason. The "what ifs" where always in the back of my mind."


"I was on this pill for two years and everything was awesome! My acne did worsen significantly but my dermatologist fixed me right up. Nauseous the first month on the pill. I used to have extremely heavy periods and this pill made my period completely vanish! If there ever was a period it was only there when I wiped so it was very light. Unfortunately, I recently had to switch pills, for some reason it made me bleed for two months straight. Most important there were no pregnancies!"


"I was prescribed 0.25mg for about 9 months. It worked great. Quick acting and nice feeling. But tolerance did build up towards the end and was not getting as good sleep. I'm on Zolpidem now which I find great."


"Suffer from ptsd and bipolar disorder. Reliving traumatic violence during nightmares, waking in pools of sweat, and physically defending myself for many years while attempting to sleep. In addition to 200 mg seroquel prescribed at bedtime for 5 years doctor added 3 mg prazosin 3 years ago. The results have been life changing. Very few night terrors. My wife feels safe sleeping beside me. I'm so appreciative to my psychiatrist for prescribing this medication. I can't recall any side effects. 30 years of living with this affliction have been all but been remidied. Thank you"

"Works tremendously well for me."


"Great medicine, I've been using it everyday for 5 years now, really helps to control and relieve my conjunctivitis, and it keeps the whites of my eyes clear (they used to be red/yellowish often).

However, for serious cases of conjunctivitis (which hit me once a year at the beginning of summer), it doesn't really help, and you'll have to see your ophthalmologist for steroid drops.

The major downside is the price. $35-40 for a 5ml bottle here in NZ."


"I started taking Levaquin and felt much better.  The only side effect was too much sleep. I feel tired and depressed. I can't wait to get rid of this sinus infection.  I also took the same medicine for a bladder infection about a month ago and it sure help.  I just need to be aware of the risks.  So far I am good.  Best to you all!
Regards"


"One month later- PSA is 0.16!  Sure, it's not a cure bit it's a nice respite from PSA anxiety.  Liver tests all well."


"I started this medication a few months back when I was taken off of ativan and it has helped a lot as both a sleep aid and anxiety reliever :) it does make me sleepy after I wake up but that normally goes away after an hour or so"


"I got mine in my left arm in April 2016. I went to planned parenthood and they did the whole procedure in about a half hour. Just the numbing was painful. Um a week after I had intercourse with my boyfriend and I bleed like crazy I was so embarrassed. After a little while I thought it would go away. But it has been light spotting since and each and every time I have sex a whole stream of blood rushes out. It is the worst thing imaginable. It doesn't happen to all. But I've had the worst experience."


"So... I've used the 3 day version successfully a couple times. This time I was lured in by the thought of just one application.

About 12 hours in (on my way to a concert gig I thought would therefore be torture!), I thought, "what the hell? It's WORSE now! Maybe it's not just yeast! Maybe I'm DYING!" But now, 6 hours later, the burning, swelling, "full" feeling is subsiding. For me, at least, assuming I continue to feel better into tomorrow and for the next week, four hours of "huh?" is worth ease of use and quick relief.

Note: I don't keep pads around, but I wish I did, because I've changed panties from the gel oozing out of me, three times today already. Still worth it."


"I've battled with anxiety for 10 plus years, was on medication 6 years ago for it then stopped.  I was having intense TMJ because I was constantly clenching my jaw as a coping mechanism for my anxiety. I finally decided to go on medication. My Doctor first put me on Celexa. I felt actually MORE anxious. Though it helped with my negative thoughts. I switched to Effexor. I started at 37.5 mg. I definitely feel a positive difference and my jaw clenching has completely stopped. Now I am up to 75 mg. I just feel very blah. Kind of numb, kind of "dissociative" like I'm not present in my own body. I feel better, but I want to FEEL. I am not sure if I should up my dosage and then I'll feel "normal" or ween myself off."


"I first started with a low hormone pill called Azurette. I was having heavy periods that lasted for a week and terrible acne, so I decided to try Yaz and my doctor prescribed me Gianvi, first month my face was completely clear and my period used to last 3 days max but my anxiety and mood changes got worse and my sex drive went from 10 to zero because I was very dry, also noticed my skin got really dry too and I looked like a 60 year old lady!"


"My doctor put me on the 24s twice a day with meal. Despite always taking it correctly, it always gives me unbearable nausea and occasionally diarrhea. For me personally the side effects make this medication very unbearable. However, I gave it a decent rating because it certainly gets things moving along. The first day I took it I passed stool 5 times which seemed excessive. Overall, it's up to you to decide if you feel better or worse after taking it."


"Kariva and Viorele are LITERALLY the same thing people."


"Everyone reacts to drugs in different ways however I will never again take bactrim. I started feeling tired and got a bad headache the second day after taking it. That same night was even worse... I felt nauseous, my head hurt even worse, and all I could do was cry. I felt like I wasn't even in my own body. The medicine definitely messed with my head. It was the worst feeling ever. Now I know to never take bactrim or any other sulfur drugs!"


"Ok first off I'm very skeptical about reviews. I don't know what to believe when it comes down to it. My doctor told me I needed a mood stabilizer so he decided to put me on geodon. I looked up reviews before hand and I was unsure but then said what's the worst that can happen. Well the worst happened. I'm actually typing this in the emergency room. I've experienced awful side effects after the first 3 days. Restless leg syndrome, head aches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting. The bad outweighed the good and after 2 weeks or so taking this medication my doctor told me to stop taking it. In such a short time of taking this medication I'm experiencing crazy withdrawals stay away from this drug!"


"Been on Nivolumba since July 31, every 2 weeks. As of Sept.14 I've lost about10 lbs, have loss of appetite,  cough, and fatigue. I will be starting acupuncture today (9/15) and believe this will help me.  I went through 6 weeks (every day)of radiation and chemo last year and started acupuncture at the very beginning of treatments and never had any side effects except loss of  hair and I walked 2 miles every day while under going treatments. I'm very encouraged and believing that Nivolumba will eliminate my cancer. I can't compare the side effects of my  treatments last year with Nivolumba because of the timely maner of acupuncture."


"Another drug that does nothing for me at all. *sigh* I have fibromylgia and chronic back pain so I need a drug with some kick to it...this one does NOT."


"I have been on saxenda since June 25 2016. I lost 15 lbs in the first month and have only lost 10 lbs since then. I am happy with the 25lb weight loss but I still need to loose 75lbs. I am finishing up what I have and my new insurance won't cover the cost. I am back to considering bariatric surgery. I have PCOS so I'm not sure if that has something to do with the drug not working anymore. Good luck to everyone."


"Ive been taking Saphris, and it puts me to sleep. I've been taking it for almost 2 months. The only problems I have on it is that I have a extreme drop in blood pressure, becoming very dizzy, easily agitated, plus suicidal thoughts. It's a good sleep medicine though. I've been sleep deprived for several months and since I've been on this medicine I've been getting the proper rest that I need. Other than that I've been ok on taking Saphris."


"I have been using Asacol for about 6 years. At the onset of Ulcerative cholitis, I was on high doses of Prednisone with the Asacol. It took over a year to get stablized, but the past two years have been event free. The only complaint I have is that the Doctor did not explain how Asacol works. I thought it was not working because I was passing whole tablets. I actually was breaking some of the pills thinking I was helping when in fact I was hurting the situation. Now taking 9 x 400mg pills daily."


"I was prescribed 300mg twice a day for seven days and the next day it was still there so went back to the hospital and I was prescribed another three days of the same dosage. It cleared my infection and it was not awful taking it (I do not swallow pills so I chew them) - I put the powder in bread then used icing to swallow everything - the taste did remain a long time but its all because of the previous antibiotics that screwed up my tongue). The reason why I am not giving it a perfect score is because it gave me a yeast infection so more medication for me to take (another 1 for the new infection)."


"I get severe swelling (angioedema) from bee stings. The last sting was on my right hand which swelled up so bad I couldn't bend the fingers or use the hand at all. The forearm also swelled up. The doctor gave me fexofenadine and a strong antihistamine cream. Within two days the swelling was almost gone, and by the third day everything was back to normal, whereas usually it takes a week. Also, while taking the medicine I hardly had any itching from the venom. As I was using a cream in combination with the medicine I can't say it was all due to the fexofenadine but for sure it helped a lot. In addition, I had no side effects at all, which is unusual as usually I develop at least one or two when taking medicines. I will use this again if needed."


"On June 11, 2009 I began taking Adipex pills and I have lost 10.8lbs, eight of which came off the first week after using the pill. I work out 2 days/week for 30 to 40 minutes. I am going to increase that to 4-5 times a week. I work nights at a hospital and walk a lot. I feel an energy surge, with sweat rolling down my back. I wear my hair pinned up to keep cool. Yes, my mouth is dry, but that encourages me to drink more water.  I take half a pill before breakfast and prior to dinner. Adipex has helped cut my hunger tremendously. After working all night I no longer feel so hungry that I have to stop and eat breakfast or snack on junk food to feel satisfied before I get home. I go home and go to sleep. This gives me a sense of control."


"I am taking Benicar HCT 40/25 I have NO sex drive and really bad leg cramps if I stretch, I immediately get a Charlie horse."


"I had mine implanted  about 2 years ago. The insertion was easy, the only pain was from the numbing needle which wasn't hardly any pain at all. I don't have periods, just light spotting every now and then. My face dies break out now and then nothing crazy. The only downside is that I have completely lost my libido. I am 30 years old and used to have a high sex drive and now my sex drive is non existent. Which is why I am planning to have this removed as soon as possible because I'm tired of living like this."


"I have been in this medication for almost 5 years. My Dr gave it to me because the bleeding I had after having my son was so bad that it made me weak. His wife was on this medication and talked to me about it. I have seen information about it for many years and thought I would try it. I was lucky enough to have a Dr tell me that I can take the pill continually for the whole time and when it was time to take the yellow pills to go ahead and take the first pill of the new pack. After having my son I have always been a "bigger girl" and just this past summer I have started to lose weight. Yes I had spotting but that was due to me losing 4 inches in my belly."


"I recently got my Nexplanon implant removed after three years- I got mine inserted on Decemeber 12th, 2010. I did not experience any bleeding after it was inserted, nor did I have a period for the whole duration of it being in my arm; I'm still waiting for one to arrive a month after it being removed. I also did not experience any weight gain, in fact, my breasts decreased in size (unfortunately for a AA cup). It is great protection- however, I am concerned on how my period will be and when it will come now that I have had it removed (it's been a month today)."


"This patch had to be designed by a man.  What woman would design a patch the size of a softball?  I had to duck tape it on in order for it to stay on, it is not flexible ( it would not even bend in half) and what woman wants to have a big round patch showing through her clothes?  You can't swim with it on or even shower because it will come off.  It is hideous and degrading.  Why should a woman have to be punished for something that is beyond their control?  I can not say if it works or not, due to the fact that I could never get it to stay on.  I took one to my doctor and asked her how I was suppose to keep it on.  She was shocked at what it looked liked and put me on the pill due to the Insurance Company."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I read reviews prior to my first ever colon cleanse.  I chose Suprep over another brand because there is less to drink.  I paid more out of pocket, but it was worth it to me.  I absolutely had no problem at all.  The taste is very tolerable.  Some of the negative comments had me worried, but I hope that my positive experience will relieve fears of someone in the future.  It is not bad at all."


"I take 5 mg of olanzapine and this medicine does help me sleep well at night.

I think it's a good medicine."


"This medication did nothing for my delusions and caused me to eat non-stop."


"I have been on Lotronex for seven years. My quality of life has dramatically changed. I can eat most of the time and not run to the bathroom. Without it I can't even get out of the house when I have to eat. Thanks to the maker of Lotronex."


"6 foot male weighed in at 278 on Feb 9th, 2017. Told my Internal Medicine Dr. I was at a tipping point and wanted something to start weight loss. She prescribed the Contrave which I never heard of. In the first week, a bit rough getting used to the medication. Two weeks into it, side effects started to decrease and my body was getting used to the drug, Today is April 3, 2017, and I am down 22 pounds over the last
8 weeks. I weigh once per week.

Contrave works for me, cutting the craving for food. I have not had any ice cream, chips & salsa and no fast food items like Burger King Whoppers. The desire to eat is just not there anymore. Portion size is much smaller and taking the Contrave fills my stomach up faster when eating. I am on a mission. It works"


"I got genital warts about 2 years ago. Ever since taking Echinacea 3 times a day which equals 9 pills it has totally cleared up the disease. The doctor said I am cured. Plus I have not had one single bout or the flu. I love this herb!"


"The drug itself has been awesome. My 14 year old daughter no longer has any of the pain or stiffness. Like the other reviewer our problem is with the injector. It is easy enough to use but she dreads it every time. She wants to switch to the syringe. Outside of that the medication does what its supposed to."


"Honestly I thought this birth control was the best at first told everyone I knew to get it. But now 4 months later. I can't stand it my emotions have been out of this world, my stress level has been higher and I went from a happy person to hating everything. I never have gotten cramps before I got this put in and they are the worst. The bleeding goes from heavy to light but at random times but means to say I'm getting this removed immediately. Because I know I will go back to my normal self again."


"Saved my life after trying various antidepressants with no results. Felt dizzy and nauseaus the first weeks, but noticed improvements in mood within days."


"I have suffered from daily migraines for over 20 years. Have tried many medicines through the years and this has really decreased the number I have. Went from daily to once every couple of weeks or so. I take 4 mg at bedtime every night and immitrex when I feel one coming on."


"I've been taking contrave for exactly one week today. So of course I've up'd my dose to 1 pill in the am and 1 in the pm. I've lost 9lbs. My side effects in the beginning were constipation dizziness/drowsy and it has lowered my bp since being on it as well maybe bc its a suppressant. I do take bp meds and its normally around the perfect range of 120/70 but since taking contrave it has dropped to 105/58  to 112/60...kinda a plus as long as it doesn't go any lower. I haven't seen a change in mood; good or bad. The drowiness has subsided. It definitely has curbed my appetite. I'm able to stay within my 1400 calorie diet with ease."


"I've just finished 2 weeks of 10mg per day on Brintellix. Doc gave me a month of samples to treat my bad anxiety. After reading others comments about the price with insurance, I doubt I will fill my script to continue this drug. I just wanted to share that I haven't had any noticeable side effects whatsoever. I also don't feel particularly happy or anxiety free... maybe just a bit calmer about a major change in my life. I just moved across the country after 17 years! I haven't had much luck with SSRI's since Zoloft which helped me through an extremely rough time a few years back, and made me feel happy. So,I guess my point is, don't be scared away by the side effects but also don't expect any sudden miracles if you suffer from anxiety."


"This medication was a magic heal for me. I had suffered from depression and severe anxiety issues for years, being tested with various medications, head shrinkers, etc. my most recent doctor first met with me he instantly suggested this medication. Within four weeks I felt better, at my follow up appointment after eight weeks my doctor could tell the improvement I had made socially. He suggested I increase dose,  I've had no side effects from it, and have had decent improvement so far. Turns out he was right and now after 2 weeks increased dose I feel like a different person. I'm not nervous to speak to others, I'm not irritable, shy, or depressed like I was before. For me, this was what I needed. Social anxiety and depression in the past"


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"Not too bad, this is my second time taking the medication. The first time I was given lansoprazole, amoxicillin and METRONIDAZOLE which I had major side effects and after reading horror story reviews I stopped at day 5 of 7. Later found out it was the metronidazole that caused my horrible side effects.

Now I'm on the course again, but instead of metronidazole I was prescribed CLARITHROMYCIN which IS SO MUCH BETTER!!! Apart from the occasional nausea and metallic/bitter taste, I've had no other side effect and it's helped increase my appetite. I'm on day 4 of 7 now, and have high hopes for this drug. Will update after I finish the treatment."


"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."


"I chose this option after being on pills for over five years and a trial of Nuvaring for two months. I always forgot to take my pills and was getting too paranoid. Tried out the ring which was a horrible two months of mood swings and discomfort. Went in for the Mirena and had it inserted when the Dr discovered my uterus is too small for the Mirena. So I went back a week later and had the smaller version Skyla inserted. If pain is the only reason you haven't gotten an IUD, stop worrying! My nose piercing hurt worse than both insertions of Mirena and Skyla. Take 800mg ibuprofen before appt. and have a heating pad on hand. All I felt were cramps that were similar to usual menstrual cramps, nothing painful."


"Been on quetiapine for a couple of years now and this medicine changed my life. I am a better person now and this medicine helped a lot with that. No crisis, no anxiety,  no craving for alcohol or other medicines. Sometimes I think I could be more emotional but it's a price I had to pay for having peace in my head. Totally recommend.
I take only 50mg per day and it's enough to keep me stable."


"My doctor prescribed Hydroxyzine for my anxiety. I was taking it along with my antidepressant. WOW. This medicine turned me into a zombie. If I wasn't asleep, I was completely lethargic. After I stopped taking my antidepressant, I decided to take a Hydroxyzine to see if it would still make me super tired. YEP. It also made me extremely grumpy and impatient."


"This medicine helped my dryness greatly and I can once again enjoy great sexual relations, However, being a migraine sufferer to begin with, this medicine has really magnified my headaches and the number I get each month. I would love to continue using it for the effectiveness, but can't be nonfunctional due to the number of and severeness of my migraines."


"I think my experience with the clinic may be coloring my opinion of Vivitrol. As far as I know, it DOES work to curb cravings--I haven't had any to speak of in the 6 months I've been getting the injections. OTOH, I've noticed that my depression gets significantly worse for a few days after each injection, then it eases up to my normal low (someday I hope to feel actual happiness again). My problem is with the clinic and the hour+ wait times. I'm clean. I'm in therapy. I go to AA meetings daily. I have a strong support system in place. But I'm thinking of discontinuing because I don't have 2.5 hours to spare every time I have an appointment (commute to clinic, time at clinic, commute to work)."


"I have been on Ortho Cyclen for a few months and my periods have finally regulated. The only difference in my body image is that I have gained a cup size and my butt has gotten bigger, but my weight is the same so I have no problem with that!"


"This was my 3rd time having a colonoscopy and this was my WORST experience in prepping ever. I ended up throwing up after drinking half of the mixture and had to end up going to Drugstore to get something else. I used the cherry flavor pack, but the thickness and the sodium taste was more than I could bare. I will definitely ask for something different in 5 years when I have to have another one!"


"I personally WILL NEVER recommend Paxil to ANYONE. It literally ruined my life. At first, I felt that it was ok. But, quickly and suddenly, I started gaining weight. ALOT of weight. Literally, my pants fit one week and did not fix the next week. And that wasn't all. I was feeling much worse. I was very manic. So depressed that I could not get out of bed. My life was work, eat, and sleep. I had no motivation and I started fixating on thoughts of suicide. It wasn't until the unexplained rapid weight gain that I started to ask myself what had changed in my routine. That's when I realized that Paxil was the newest addition to my life and I began doing research.  I've been off of it for about 2 months and I still can't lose the weight."


"When I read all of these reviews, on every page, I couldn't find one that was someone's experience with plan B while on the birth control pill. So I'll leave mine. I missed one pill the week I had intercourse but I had also missed so many pills last month I wanted to be safe. My doctor advised me to continue taking my birth control while taking the plan B. I had no side effects at all. My cycle came 3 days late and it was a bad one. It started with a day of light spotting. It was very heavy compared to most."


"This is my first time with a Flagyl and Cipro combination.  It's been 3 days and so nauseous and the lethargy is awful. I'm not sure I can continue the combination but I will be calling the doctor Monday morning.  And I do have Zofran. These side effects are terrible."


"I smoked for 10 years, pack a day. Never tried to quit before, never thought I could. One day my doctor prescribed me Chantix because I was having a chronic cough. I gave the starter pack a shot and here is how it went:

I took the medicine exactly how it was prescribed. I took the first week and noticed absolutely anything, unlike others, no positive or negative effects. I got worried but on my eighth day I quit cold turkey. I am a guy who would get cranky and moody and sometimes even ill if I went 10-12 hours without being able to smoke. Chantix surprisingly kicked in right when it should and diminished my effects of quitting so much that it gave me great enthusiasm to continue with it. I'm officially a non-smoker!"


"I thought Nuvigil was good, but Adderall is amazing.  It helps me feel almost human, again.  Not only does Adderall keep me awake, but it clears up some of the mental fog caused by Narcolepsy.  Cataplexy is also not as severe when I'm on Adderall.  I can finally focus at work, I have enough energy to take care of myself and my family, and I'm doing so well at work that I got two raises in the last 3 months!  The irony is that you have to be well-rested for it to work; otherwise, it does absolutely nothing.  I have also started devoloping a tolerance so it starts to wear off after about 3-4 hours, but I take another dose and it gets me through the rest of the day."


"I am 22 years old with a 4 month old. Just got it today, last night I was starting to have doubt's about getting it. I went online and read a few reviews. Some girls had bad experiences. I got nervous and since I am a wuss I thought I was going to chicken out. Today I got it done and it did not hurt at all. Really recommend getting it. Most drs put it wrong. If you are near me, I suggest going to UCI in Anaheim with Dr Rita ceja. She is aswome "


"no effects yet"


"Made me incredibly dry and sore. Also, I head breakthrough bleeding, which lasted a week."


"Best meds ever for IBS with diarrhea."


"When diagnosed several years ago with GERD,I tried Prevacid. It helped shortly then break through.  Then diagnosed with Barretts, Nexium 2x a day...same thing.   I felt really bad and was getting worse.  I was then prescribed Kapidex.  WOW... what a difference!  I feel great and have gained some weight.  This stuff is AWESOME!  Finally!!  Thank you"


"The Medication Stopped my psychosis cold, dead. It gave me my life back and has been the only thing that worked. Less weight gain, Fatigue, and Sexual side effects."


"I went to the doctor today and weighted in at 160. I am 5'4 and in my late 30's. I have recently taken on a new job with high stress. I am married with 5 children and am very busy. My workout routine and personal sanity have been placed on the back burner and my over all wellness has suffered greatly. My weight gain has increased drastically, my wellness has decreased, i have started smoking to relieve stress and making poor processed food choices (snack machine is quicker as I'm heading to a meeting)...my doctor suggested Contrave.  It's 7:30 pm and I have just taken my first pill. Fingers crossed."

"When I first started taking Effexor XR, I felt very sad but now I feel much better. I was taking Lexapro but my M.D. said I looked like a Zombie and took me off."


"I've been on it for 2 years and YES it is a great drug to help with anxiety. Without it my life wouldn't be the same at all. It is very hard to come off of. But you have to make a choice to live with the pain of anxiety or be addicted to something that fixes the problem. Neither one is great but I don't like pain."


"This was the first and only medication that I have used, and within 2 weeks, I noticed a difference in my manic side, and my depressive side is nil. My manic side is triggered by slow and inconsiderate drivers, which makes it easy for me to judge how well it works, and if I am missing a few doses. The only downside to it is a low libido. I I was taking 300 mg in the am and 600 mg in the pm, and I just tried to up it to 600 in am and pm. That made my libido almost nil, but it did stop the frustration with any drivers on the road. I think I  will lower the meds back down to what they were, or try something else."

"I am on week 6, which is second pack of 3 months. I have been bleeding since I started, not as heavy as my usual cycles but 6 week period. If this doesn't stop soon I'm done with it. Also my breasts are so so sore they hurt and I never have issues with that."


"I have a amputated left arm I have horrible nerve pain ,the doctor I just saw  started me on cymbalta I have only been on it a week and have not noticed any different yet how long does it take for it to work?"


"I have been taking 450 mg of bupropion and 20 mg escitalopram for about 3 years and the combination has been working pretty well to control my depression and anxiety. I had breakthrough depression a couple of times a week, when I would feel guilty about random things, worry about things I couldn't control and get pretty "weepy". My doctor prescribed abilify, starting at 2.5 mg and increased it to 5 mg. This helped a lot! However, I  gained 25 pounds in 3 months. I am tapering off abilify, and will start 25 mg of lamictal tomorrow."


"Chemotherapy brought on Bipolar disorder and several years of meds and regular sessions of therapy has made me feel some what normal. I take 300mg of Effexor, along with 800 mg of Seraquel. My side effects are some memory loss, thirst, and fatigue. I do have an issue with staying engaged. However, my unrealistic fears are not something I think about as often, and my anxieties are minimal. I had some income issues, and I did not take my meds, all my symptoms returned. I suspect that I will need this drug for my entire life."


"After round of antibiotics to clear up a uti, I developed a severe yeast infection with itching, burning and discharge.  Called dr and he prescribed the generic of diflican. Took one dose and symptoms cleared completely In 24 hours.   Took 2nd dose 3 days later and now symptom free!!!! I do not post reviews often but I needed to give back to someone who may be suffering like I was.  These reviews provide relief when things feel that it can't get any worse.  And this magic pill proved that things will get better with time."


"I started on Plaquenil for RA about two months ago so my experiences are fresh. I'm a large male at 6'2 250 pnd 30 years old. When I was diagnosed with RA I didn't know what to expect. I was quickly referred to a Rheumatologist who recommended this drug.

The first three weeks I was having some side effects. Nose bleeds, ringing in my ears. But after the fourth week they just disappeared. As well as the excruciating pain in my feet, knee's and hands. It just poof like it never happened.

I'm optimistic about now my third month as it has now been three months since my last flare up. It was too late for my feet, which now have permanent damage, but I can now walk and wear shoes almost perfectly normally."


"I have been on this medication about 3 years up until recently no problem it helped me to lose weight and manage my insulin resistance well. Then I got rare serious side effect lactic acidosis which occurs in 1 out of 10,000 people. unlucky me. now after being treated for the lactic acidosis I try to take the medication again and it makes me feel really unwell and ill. I miss being able to take it. Maybe I will be able to take something different instead because I can't leave my Insulin Resistance uncontrolled."


"Will it took me off the streets n allowed me to live a normal working man's life. I still don't use. Just have a good sub.   My Doctor knows his shit. I feel the post about the teeth deterioration.. Been on 2 yrs. They got bad. Methadone was worse"


"I was prescribed Gabapentin by my Oncologist last month as my hot flashes and night sweats due to taking tamoxifen, following breast cancer, were getting out of control. I couldn't believe that they totally vanished from the first night of taking 300mg before bedtime. I'm sleeping like a baby for the first time in months and feel fully ready to take on the world again!"


"I've gone from 6 sulfasalazine, 1× 15mg tablet form of methotrexate, 4 naproxen and 1 omeprazole a day to only my 1× Enbrel injection and 1× methotrexate injection a week and am 100% better. I'm still exhausted and occasionally have puffy hands but pain and inflammation are gone."


"I've been on over half of the ADHD medications on the list, and all of them either made it worse, or added on to the tic the first medication gave me. I started taking Concerta about two years ago, and I remember improving in school greatly. It works fast, and helps a lot"


"it worked"


"I've been on Tri Sprintec for 8 months. I started taking it because my previous birth control, Aubra (aka Lutera, Alesse, many more), gave me cystic acne and oily skin for the first time in my life. Tri Sprintec has not helped me. I thought it would definitely get rid of the oily skin (it made it worse) and at least the small pimples (it gave me MORE all over my forehead). I have 5 more days of Tri Sprintec left and after that, I'm going to try to go off birth control altogether. I never had acne before I went on BC so we will see what happens. I also read that generic OTC makes acne worse, so maybe consider paying extra for brand name OTC if acne is your main concern. Good luck!"


"I've always had success taking this.  I have noticed that I have never had a turbulent flight when I've taken this, which I think would be a good test."


"Have taken combo Metformin-glyburide and had large stools, with Metformin-glypizide have some problem with the "consistency" of long stools (hard to get and stay clean); otherwise, a miracle drug in glucose level control and muscle tone & weight control."


"I am going through chemo for recurring lymphoma. Naturally there is anxiety involved, lack of sleep, nausea and complete lack of appetite. I have a tumour on the trachea and difficulty breathing. In the hospital I received Ativan which so profoundley help with all of the above: anxiety, nausea and breathing. I am SO grateful for this medication, it made my life bearable. Ativan enhances the effects of the anti-nausea drug by far. And the anti-anxiety help me breath better. It soothes the racing thoughts at night and I can sleep. All this on 1mg at night, no more. This tiny under-the-tongue is a miracle for me."


"I was one Effexor for almost 4 weeks to treat dissociation/derealization that was caused from too high of dosages of Zoloft and Celexa. I went from 12.5mg twice a day to 37.5mg twice a day over 3 weeks. I had horrible headaches and blurry vision the entire time. By the third week, the dissociation was MOSTLY gone, but then I was having random panic episodes where I thought I was losing my mind and just didn't want to live anymore. The psychiatrist thought the extended release would ease that symptom, and it made it worse. I went from not wanting to live with dissociation, to not wanting to live at all. I've been tapering off over the past few days, and I was awaken at 5am this morning with HORRIBLE anxiety and suicidal thoughts, and my husband tried calming me down but I barely felt like I knew or recognized him.
Both my psychologist and the head of psychiatry at Mayo Clinic agreed I need to stop taking it immediately (take 1/2 of 25mg if I experience "brain zaps" or any horrible side effects) but this medication is NOT for me, and they're thinking no SSRI or SSNI chemically reacts well with me after trying 3 and having worse side effects than what I was taking it for.

I haven't been out to eat with my husband in 4 months. Everything in the world now looks different, and I still have anxiety and blurry vision, and as this medication leaves my system in the next few days, I pray my mind will get back to the way it was 4 months ago.
Thank you and I hope everyone going through anything horrible with Effexor finds relief soon."


"I found it worked well but the side effects; SHARP pains throughout my body were not worth it."


"I usually never give reviews on any products but this is something Women need to know of before even going on this pill!
I have been on a lot of different birth controls in the past, I have never in my life experienced such a HORRID birth control in all my life. The pharmacy ended up giving me Zarrah 21 instead last time I filled my prescription & for the 1st month I thought 100% I was pregnant! I was getting "morning sickness" & gained probably about 5-10 pounds just in the first month and I am completely exhausted and lethargic almost 24/7 now. Honestly I can deal with the sickness & the little weight gain but the acne! I have never had acne in my life but this is unreal...its painful and horrible all over my face!! Dont go on this pill!!"


"I am 23 years old and dealing with a couple types of incontinence. Before I talked to my doctor about it I came across these in my grocery store. I bought them on a whim and tried them out. It works really well, no more leaking or stress incontinence. Within 12 hours I was no longer running to the bathroom. The only side effect I have is some constipation. A change in diet and laxatives seem to help. The patch is rather uncomfortable at times but I'm still experimenting with placement. I change it every 4 or 5 days because the adhesive comes off after a while, usually in the shower. I'd like to see a better material but I'm content for now. It's a lot better than taking a pill every day."


"I was taking hydrochlorothiazide and my blood pressure was still 190/120. Doc added Twynsta to it and now I'm literally a perfect score. 144/83. Hasn't even been a month yet!"


"It works well with sleep since I have had insomnia for over 10 years. I tried ambient but I like clonidine better although some nights I wake up 4-5 hours later to have to take another dose."


"I was diagnosed with A.D.D and I've been using Adderall for just over 2 years now. My 9th year of school I finished with a very low GPA just over a 1.0 and finished most of my classes with either Fs or Ds but this past year that I was able to get my medicine I was awarded AB Honorle And passing every class with an A except 2 Bs. The mass improvement of my ability to focus and actually want to work actually made the principal think I was cheating since i've had such a bad school record (For grades)"


"Please read leaflet before taking.... So I took the emergency contraceptive probably a day after my husband and I had unprotected sex and there was no signs at first then I got really bloated and had slight cramping so I'm thinking my period is around the corner so it worked
... At first I thought it didn't because my period came late but when at  when it did come I wish I was pregnant .The worse period cramps at night and vomiting and this never happened to me, I was on the toilet for hours. I personally say please use a condom or so type of birth control because it  screwed me up"


"I was switched from Prozac to this (150mg) and it is amazing! It really helped me but I will say DO NOT FORGET TO TAKE IT! my side effects of missing one day were these really weird dreams and horrible headache but if I was off of it for more than a day I felt super dizzy."


"I have ankylosing spondylitis in my heels, fingers, shoulders, neck, shoulder blades, hips, front ribs and spine.  It started in my lower spine 42 years ago. After recently having had a bacterial lung infection for a 5 weeks, and walking about 3 kms when I was well again, the pain all over was excruciating. I had a Voltaren injection 5 days ago and have been pain-free since then. No side effects at all."


"I've had this for almost 4 years now and I love it does its job I had my period for a couple months the first time I got it and didn't have once for 6 months to a year had spotting very rarely so I'm not complaining except I was bleed Brown blood alot for weeks which really sucks and not to mention the mood swings I have but nothing I couldn't handle.Best birth control I ever had."


"I have been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for one month. I had bad PMS this month and started me period a week early. I still have four pills to finish. No other side effects."


"I have used many ADHD medicines in the past and I never knew what attention I was lacking without vyvanse. The first week of taking 30mg is very different from the following weeks. In the first week I felt very conscious of the effects and it felt great but the following weeks felt like I was lacking. I am 18 years old so I had an upcoming SAT so I took 2 of my 30mg pills. I am 150lbs and In retrospect it was a bad idea. The whole day of the SAT I felt explosive energy and extremely motivated to work on questions. I am now on the first day of prescribed 60mg and I have a much greater work motive and I am constantly fueled with new productive ideas for tasks to complete. If you feel like you are lacking in motivation for work I recommend it"


"I have needed to opiate meds to manage my pain control for many many years.  I have a clotting disorder that had caused high levels of pain for my entire life.  I can remember taking liquid TyCo at 9 or 10 prolly earlier.. Anyway, as a teen, I would use TyCo 3 or vicodin.  It go to a point where I needed way too many to adequately control my pain.  I was switched to OxyContin and had started taking 20mg 3 X day.  Over 8 years, increased to 80mg X 2 day with OxyCodone for breakthrough.  Eventually I was up to 100mg X 2 day.  Changes in providers caused me to change from OxyContin to Opana ER.  I have been started at 50mg X 2 day.  It is just enough to help and take the edge off, but it is no where near as effective (for me) than OxyContin is"


"Purchased Recti Care 5% Lidocaine cream, have tried on hemorrhoid pain several times. This stuff does not work. There was absolutely not one smidgen of difference in the pain. Plus this stuff is terrible expensive.  WHAT A WASTE! I will keep it for bug bites, I guess. Hopefully it will work better on them."


"Fractured left humerus & greater trochanter. Much difficulty sleeping, this medicatin helpful in controlling the pain"


"I've been on this birth control for almost 3 months now. My face is now starting to get acne and I have NEVER in my life had acne. I've gained 15 pounds in about 3 months and I feel disgusting. Some days, I feel good, other days people don't want to be around me. Everyone's body is different, but I'm going off of it."


"I've had the Nexplanon for about 1 1/2 months now.  The insertion was painless and took only about 5 min. The doctor said I would probably bruise around the insertion site but it was barely a bruise there.  I had no pain or swelling afterwards. I have not had a period since the insertion no weight gain, mood swings,  headaches etc. I love the Nexplanon so far. I switched from Mirena, which I also loved but my husband got to the point where he kept feeling the string and it was irritating him."


"Always rolled around in bed since I was a kid trying to stop thinking. Sleep just didn't come natural unless I really put my body through the ringer that day. Being a kid, on those days I slept.

Drinking in my mid years helped me get to sleep. Then I hit a work-anxiety wall in my 50's. Ambien, 10 mg, put me to sleep. With the well known side effects - called friends late at night (it doesn't work on me fast). Ate a lot of crap late. I need a good hour, more like 2 before I feel the effects, probably because I only take 2/3 now, I weigh around 200 pounds. The problem with Ambien is you never know when it's going to hit you. When it does and you're still ambulatory, childproof your life."


"Im only 17, and I absolutely love my Skyla IUD. I chose the IUD because it has almost no side effects, no required maintenance, and lasts 3 years. Insertion was pretty uncomfortable but very quick, didnt get light headed or anything and the cramps came immediately afterwards, they felt like my usual pretty bad menstrual cramps but it also feels like something is in there, its a different kind of cramp. After insertion I had light bleeding, then brownish discharge, then for the next 3ish months I bled just like a light period. After that bleeding stage, I still haven't gotten another period, absolutely no other symptoms. I seriously forget I have it, have had unprotected sex since and am still not pregnant lol. I really recommend it!"


"This is AMAZING! I've had nasty eczema on my index finger for almost a year where it was almost impossible to use the digit. It was thick, unbendable, cracking, bleeding and painful! After a week, I actually have feeling back in that finger. It has cleared up spots on my neck and behind my ears. Just amazing!"


"I wouldn't recommend this birth control to my worst enemy. I had really bad side effects. My doctor told me a lot of people who have gotten it have it removed because of the severity of the side effects. (Mostly weight gain and depression)"


"Just started on Taltz only one dose.  Was up to third month on Cosentyx which was doing a great job when insurance changed and I was unable to continue therapy unless I switched to Taltz so I did.  I was two months without biologics and my hands never did get as bad as I expected.  My doctor ordered the Taltz without specifying autoinjector and I got the injections (which I wouldn't do again!) so I will see how it works.  No big changes yet but I haven't taken my second dose! Fingers crossed it works as well as Cosentyx seemed to."


"I used Monistat 1 Day to help clear up my yeast infection. I have used this product in the past and it worked fine. However, tonight my lady part is on fire. The product has me burning so bad where I thought about going to the ER. There is a section in the paperwork that comes along with product that staes: "Mild increase in vaginal burning, itching, or irritation may occur." That's done Bull. I'm experiencing more that just mild burning. It feel like someone took a match and set my kitty cat on fire. Omg, when will this burning stop?"


"Was diagnosed the day after symptoms of the flu started showing up. I've only taken one pill and my symptoms are completely gone besides a minor sore throat. By far the most effective medicine I have ever used for the flu."


"If I could give this product 0 stars I would. I took this pill twice and felt that the product worked fine. A couple days later, and I was experiencing the worst abdominal pain and cramping I've ever had. It put me into the hospital. I'm on my 4th day of misery and I promise I will never take this again. I would rather experience what I usually do after eating dairy. It's not worth the risk of seeing if it works for you. It's going into the trash."


"I only started birth control because my cramps every month were so severe I would vomit and could barely walk. This lessened my cramps only slightly, but added cramping throughout the whole month instead of it just being the first three days of my period. I went to my doctor and switched today because she feels I could do better and reduce my period from 5 days to only 3. I never had any negative side effects that I noticed. I've always had some problems with acne, but Sprintec did not change it either way. I also had no abnormal mood issues from this medication. Since the only reason I'm on it is to stop cramps, and it didn't do that, I have to switch. I hope my new one will be successful and not have any side effects!"


"I took two and I'm positive my rectum is separating from my body right now. It cleans you out but good lord only take 1!!!"


"This medicine has kept me going to work during my horrendous morning sickness (more like all day sickness!!) in the first trimester of my pregnancy."


"On victoza for 16 mo.  Prior to Victoza, I suffered severe fatigue, high blood pressure, hypo thyroid, depression, epstein bar and other symp.  Prior to endo, went to 5 different drs and they all medicated me w/out results.  After Victoza, nausea and headaches for about 2 weeks, then I felt like a new human being.  Energy, no depression, lost 30 pounds.  Endo & I decided to slowly come off the meds.  After 1.5 weeks, began to feel fatigue and began to gain weight.  TERRIFIED... that I would go back to my old self again and of all the reports of pancreatitis, thyroid n pancreas cancer.  If I go back on, am I taking a risk?  Scared..."


"I hadn't found an anti-depressant that worked until my OB put me on Zoloft towards the end of my pregnancy. All others made me suicidal and I am already diagnosed as a manic depressive. Zoloft is amazing with the exception of the yawns and difficulty having an orgasm. But it's all worth it to have a medicine that actually works."


"I took Cymbalta for 1 year. It did help with my depression however, I became very lethargic and gained 25 lbs within 3 months. The weight gain scared me because I had never gained that much in such a short period of time. Also, I did have serious constipation with Cymbalta. If you can handle the wieght gain and constipation, I think Cymbalta is the medication to at least try, it does work-or it at least worked with my depression."


"Not the medication I was looking for. First two weeks it eased me off my depression. Then all the side effects came into play. Extreme anxiety, sweating, and feeling out of it and high all the time. Forgetting to take it was like hell and made me physically sick and agitated. Would not recommend if celexa or prozac worked for you at one point. Made me feel like a zombie and hard to get anything done. Felt a lot of fatigue as well. Overall horrible experience with a big price attached to it."


"Just to sum things up. I'm 18 years old. Started with prozac
 and went to full dose. Was on prozac for about 1 year at max dose (60mg), but it helped little. I took 50mg Zoloft for 5 weeks. Did see a change in my Anxiety, were it down somewhat. Now I've been on 100mg Zoloft for 3 days, and I have started to get dizzy sometimes at the day. I also have depression and OCD. It has not helped anything with the depression, the anxiety have become somewhat less and my OCD feels worse (do not know if this is a side effect). 4 weeks from now I will up to 150mg Zoloft, if the 100mg shows little improvements. My doctor says after full dose of Zoloft, there will be the option to try Cipralex. Im rather for trying CBD (medicinal cannabis)."


"I've had Morena for 4 years. Though my periods almost.disappeared, I have so many problems that annoy me alot. Increased arterial blood pressure, headache, mood changes, increase in body weight, especially the upper part, vaginal discharge, and acne. I am planning on removing it. You may ask why I could put up with these side effects for 4 years. Well, I've the answer.  I tried removing it and it failed and my gynecologist advised removing it with general anastasi, so I freaked out."


"I'm a male 44 years, and suffered anxiety for years. I could not drive on the freeway without panic attacks, and the fear of crashing. I went to countless doctors before I decided to try medication(Lexapro). It changed my life. It took about three months for me to feel like my old self again. I have no side effects, and I haven't had a panic attack in three years since I began taking it. Life is great thanks to Lexapro."


"It's great that there are people with the same feelings and attitude about Suboxone. I'm a 12 year opiate addict and I'll be cliche and say it has changed my life. Now 6 months into program and I must say it really works if you stick to program. I haven't had a drink or any opiates since starting 6 months ago. It's great that my mind isn't occupied with searching for anodyne (Greek for pain killer) and/or the next bottle. I can say life is good and mean it. I know people who are still drinking and taking pills with Suboxone and they are miserable. In closing Suboxone works for me and has given me a new outlook on life and more importantly my family is happy. People I know and my Doctor are giving me complements all the time and again life is good! SUBOXONE RULES!"


"I was told by psychologist I scored highest she has ever seen for adhd and doctor put me on 30mg and it does nothing.  I don't want an increased dose of this med i want something else.  Waste of my time."


"I've been taking Lutera tablets for about a month now. I've never felt this bad. Everyday I feel nauseas, weak, headaches, heart palpitations and somewhat down. I've been a lot more sensitive with things that I would normally be able to handle without a hassle. I feel dizzy and weak most of the day and with two kids to care for, we all know that it doesn't matter if we are sick; we still have to be responsible and care for them. I am waiting on my doctor to call me back tmrw to see if it's best that I switch to a lighter dosage or to my previous birth control pills, to which I had no side effects with. Hopes this helps someone out there. God bless you!!!"


"I have been on it for little over a year now, starting it when I was 17. I was a bit moody at first, but no weight gain, acne did clear up decently. No pregnancy scares with my boyfriend. Definitely lessened cramps and flow once a month. However, after the one week on it each month I have mild cramps and light flow. Happens for a few days then back to nothing. Still have a period each month but pain and flow greatly reduced."


"I've been on Trazodone for more than four years. Started for insomnia during my PhD program. I'm a woman, 5-10, 170, and work out five days/week). I need between 100-150 mg to get this medicine to work, but I have never had the hangover the next morning. Most sleep aids knock me out for days - that's never been an issue with Trazodone - I would not have finished my PhD or survived my first year as a full-time professor without it."


"It works I have used it 3 or  times. I know a bit too much. I have not experienced any side effects after taking it. Only thing is really bad cramps during period. I have purchased it OTC and with insurance. It's only $50 with one get the non brand."


"I have been on Otezla since February.  My insurance would not cover it so I am part of the company's bridge program.  My psoriasis is completely gone--I haven't had normal, clear skin since I was a baby and I am 36.  I finally can wear shorts and tank tops without being self-conscious that my scaly, red skin is ugly and people are looking at it.  When I first started the medication I did have some bad headaches and nausea.  It went away after a few weeks, if you just stick with it.  I recently went away and forgot to bring the Otezla with me so I didn't take it for about 5 days, and now that I am back on it, I have headaches and nausea again but I anticipate that they will subside like they did before.  I haven't had any other side effects."


"I feel like the Skelaxin (Metaxalone) works sometimes. If I am in real pain it does nothing other than make me flighty and unable to realize I am in pain. But, it does not relieve the pain. I am not sure what I have yet because I am going through the testing processes. I would not ever want to be put on this medication again for severe pain because it does not work. I have been dizzy and have loss of memory quite often also."


"I starting on Sertraline 3 years ago and felt that my body had got used to it and wasn't getting any effect after a year. My GP then put me on Fluoxetine 20mg. To start it took about 5-6 weeks to really begin to feel calmer and less sensitive to daily stresses and I had an amazing sleep but the effects began to wear off after a year. My GP then increased my dose to 60mg as I was going through a really stressful time at work and couldn't cope. Thankfully work has been better and I've changed my role but I've started to feel really depressed and have been having suicidal thoughts which I never used to have. I have really vivid dreams and I'm starting to get home from work, take the dog out, make dinner and once all my chores are done then I g"


"I've been on Yaz for three months.  I started taking it because I told my doctor that I had really bad moodiness during PMS.  Ha, it's gotten worse!  I don't start my period till the last day of inactive pills.  My cramps feel like I'm 15 again (I'm 36) and my mood swings have worsened.  Barely any sex drive.  I'm going back to Ortho-Tricyclen (Trinessa)."


"On my second month and period is light to non existent!! Only PMS I  had was slight cramping and nausea.  I've never been on the pill before but this has been a true blessing. Sex drive seems to be normal as a a lot of people say otherwise. Lost 3 lbs so far not sure if that is pill or not though. Do seem to be very gassy though and wasn't before starting. Hope to be able to get this for years."


"Yep, I took ONLY 1 Mucinex D almost 24 hours ago for the 1st time and I'm still up. During the 1st 12 hours I didn't sleep a wink because I took this pill right before bed. My nose was dripping the whole night. This thing definitely unclogged my sinuses without the uncomfortable burning sensation of inhaling and the pain behind my face. My sinus relief lasted the whole 12 hours! I kept thinking it would wear off sooner. Throughout the day I haven't stopped sneezing and it's a scary sneeze, as in a loud scream, I've been scaring people all day. This is not my normal/typical sneeze. I usually sneeze like a silent little bunny! This is how I found this website to find out what this sneezing is all about. Doctor prescribed."


"5'8" 220lb female. Currently on day 9 of the 14 day low dose trial. I have lost 5 lbs. so far. I have been doing a low carb diet since I started Qsymia and find I have
very little appetite. I'm comfortable with a protein bar or a piece of cheese or meat for my meals. I drink plenty of water as diet drinks taste flat and extra sweet. I too have no desire for what was my favorite indulgence of a glass or two of wine at night. I read somewhere Qsymia is used to treat alchoholism and I can see why. Today was the first day I felt a bit hungry, so I'm thinking of moving to the next higher dose a few days early. My goal is to lose 60 lbs and lower my extremely high cholesterol so I don't have to go on meds. I also find I have a decent amount of energy."


"I have been taking Avodart for about a year now, it has improved my night urinating, but I really do not like the decreased sex drive and ability to achieve a full erection and decreased semen output."


"I have been on this medication for two years. I'm on  117 milligrams and my mood gets worse every time I take the injection"


"I am male, 53 years old, & have been on Zoloft (Sertraline) 75mg for 1 year. My problem was with anxiety & I became very sick. I first tried Celexa & I felt worse. After 3 weeks I switched to Zoloft & quickly noticed an improvement. It took about 3 to 4 weeks for Zoloft to start working effectively. By the 3rd month I felt even better & any side effects stopped - they are: trouble sleeping & I took Ativan to relax me and fall asleep, and after 3 months my sleep returned to normal; as for sex, maybe slightly longer to orgasm but no sexual dysfunction. As for alcohol, I still drink & feel fine; there was sweating but this went away. Zoloft works, good luck!"


"Received for Osteoarthritis. Also I have not had a flare-up of my Rheumatoid Arthritis for approximately 8 months. Pain was relieved within 2 weeks. No side effects have been noted. Great to know it comes from plants and may provide additional benefits (antioxidants)."


"At 51, I have uterine fibroids and was experiencing super heavy bleeding for months at a time. My doctor recommended Mirena and I unenthusiastically agreed to it because my other choice was hysterectomy. When younger I had a terrible experience with the pill (made me really depressed which otherwise I am not). I had Mirena inserted 4 months ago and love it. I put on a bit of weight at the beginning which I have mostly lost already. The heavy bleeding is gone. I still wear a pad because I spot once in awhile but before I was using Depend because the bleeding was SO HEAVY. My mood is Ok. no depression or any similar symptoms. No acne. Insertion is painful but quick. The discomfort goes away immediately. So far Mirena is Ok for me."


"I have been suffering from migraines for over 8 years. This past time the doctor ended up giving me vicodin to relieve the pain and get rid of the migraine. And I am loving it, as long as I take the vicodin when I am supposed to I am without pain. The only bad thing about the vicodin is the dry mouth and the fact that I feel detached from everything. But I can live with those two things in order to get rid of a migraine. I would recommend this medicine to anyone who has a migraine and can't get rid of it (I had mine for over 2 weeks before going to the doctor)!"


"I couldn't tolerate statins. Tried 3. Each one gave a lot of pain....liver and angina. I had to stop them. While off them for a month my Total Cholesterol went from 165 to 213, LDL's went from 65 to 110. Now my Total is 97 and LDL's are 24. I take Lovaza to keep my HDL's up at 45-49; they never were above 34 my whole life no matter what I tried. I have no side effects and I feel the best in 5 years."


"My ENT suggested I try Distma for allergies since Flonase had not helped. Three hours after Distma's first use I had intense needle stabbing pains in left side of head from crown moving down to ear/ temple area & then back up for "30 hours"! Very drowsy & in a haze. Then when I walk can hear something drumming in my hear, so it's back to the ENT tomorrow to find out the damage! "Do Not Use this product is my suggestion!"  It seems I have a perforated eardrum!"


"It didn't work for my incontinence problem (which occurred after laser TURP), and I think it made it worse. It caused me to have a dry mouth, which caused me to drink more, which caused more incontinence. I told the doctor that I wasn't having bladder spasms, but he ignored what I said and said to give it a try and come back in 30 days. "


"It just makes me sleepy"


"When I got the Implanon I was VERY excited, no pill popping, sticky tape, or possible uterus punctures. Having the procedure done was quick and virtually painless. I hate needles so this was a leap of faith for me. I have had the Implanon for a year now and the only thing I like about it is I am not pregnant. I have one child and want it to stay that way for a bit. I have awful mood swings the kind where I ask myself why I am being so crazy! I have had great skin my whole life and since having it my skin has been awful. No weight gain, infact I lost weight. I don't believe that has anything to do with the Implanon but of my own doing. I also bled for the most part during my year. Time to get it out."


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"I had Nulasta 24 hrs after R-CHOP chemo for non Hodgkin's lymphoma   Some bone pain occurred . Most discomfort in jaw and  glands along both sides of throat.  Even ear drums ached. Nothing so bad I could not tolerate it. Lasted only  about 48 hrs at most.  Annoying but worth the better blood counts"


"I've had the Implanon for about six months now and I love it. The only thing that is, is that I get my period every other month but once I do get it it happens for a week and goes away like normal but then sometimes I will have a second period 3-4 days later.. I was told to expect anything but I wasn't expecting this. My cramps aren't bad at all but the bleeding time can get annoying."


"I have been taking 25 mg of Jardiance each day for 4 months. I pee constantly, have to get up through the night to pee.  I am always thirsty and I drink a lot.  I too have noticed an increase in sugar cravings.  Eye doc found a hole in my retina last week and I had laser surgery to repair it.  I also have a constant yeast infection which is very uncomfortable.  I do not want to take this drug anymore but my pancreas does not work correctly since I had a tumour 25 years ago.  I am going to try to eliminate all sugar from my diet to see if my BS is ok."


"Nexplanon is my first birth control. I have had it for about 5 months now. I had it inserted about 8 weeks after I had my first baby.  For the first week after it was inserted, I had a "normal" period and after that, it went away and I have not had another period at all (not even spotting!) I have not gained weight. I have not had any side effects. If you don't want periods, I think it works best if you are breastfeeding at the time you get it."


"Took the medicine when I was certain my headache was a migraine and it was completely gone in an hour or less with no side effects.  My insurance used to cover it but now I am getting a lot of push back, switched to Relpax which is also a good but still struggling with insurance. "


"Xanax is a medication that must be taken seriously and with precaution. This is not a game. Taking it when you don't need to will only create addiction and the withdrawal is worse than living with the actual anxiety. Please don't take this med unless you suffer from anxiety and you are having a panic attack. It works well in these situations but my advice is to stay away from it and only take it in an emergency. I prefer lorazepam. When you take lorazepam the withdrawal symptoms are more tolerable than xanax. Xanax is awesome but it can become Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. You can die from this or get a DUI if you are caught in a driving accident. This is serious."


"I started to see results on my stubborn chin acne at the 6-9 week mark. My skin doesn't get red anymore and my skin is clear. I've cut most gluten and dairy from my diet but even during weeks where I eat 'badly' my skin has to my surprise held up. This product has really really worked for me and I am surprised as I didn't think topical gels would work on me as I've been on antibiotics and accutane before. I will use this product until it stops working !!"


"This drug was awful for me, I was on it 7/8 years ago when I was 13/14. I have always had normal/low blood pressure, reading sometimes normal of 120/80 but sometimes 90/60. My cardiologist put me on 25MG of Atenolol because my heart rate would reach max super quickly during exercise. I was on it for a couple of weeks before beginning to feel symptoms. I couldn't stand up without fading out. The worst part for me is that it gave me deeply disturbing intrusive suicidal thoughts that seemed to come from nowhere. I was extremely depressed and cried a lot. When I told my cardiologist of my symptoms, he doubled my dosage and put me on 50MG. I slowly weaned myself off because I couldn't take it anymore."


"The drug works very good for depression and anxiety. It also completely eliminates my headaches. I was a chronic headache sufferer for years and ever since I started taking Prozac I almost never have a headache. I think this drug should be studied more as a medication to treat chronic headaches as it increases Serotonin in the brain and Serotonin is a major factor in headache issues."


"I had tried the Paragard twice. The first one in my 30es and the last one just a year ago, I was 41. Like many, I did not have great experience with birth control pills, moodiness, breast soreness, so I wanted no hormones. But unfortunately for me, Paragard's side effects were too much to deal with. The first time I had lots of cramping and heavy periods but the 2nd time I was hoping it would be better and it was actualy worse. I can deal with heavy periods and cramping but in addition, I have developed pain in the lower back, it was pretty bad, feeling of stabbing constantly. I had it checked and was told the position is right. I gave it 8 months, hoping it would get better but I gave up. The constant discomfort was really affecting my lif"


"Excited to be starting this Biologic as hospital team assured me it was really suitable for the effective  treatment of my psoriatic arthropathy and psoriasis.
By the fourth weekly injection I had had two chest infections and the most horrible urinary tract infection.  Three lots of antibiotics and a 7 lb. weightloss due to being so sick, I admitted defeat and didn't take the 5th dose.
Admittedly the arthropathy eased slightly during the injection period but this was more likely due to the enforced bed rest due to being so ill than to the effects of the Cosentyx.
Goodbye Cosentyx. Going back to Arcoxia."
