"I started depo in April of 2015 because of extremely painful periods. At first it was great, I had no period the month following, but then in June I started spotting, it wasn't a full blown period but it lasted for nearly 3 weeks. Then came the next shot in July; no period for a month & then spotting for 2 weeks. Then the October shot; same thing except I started spotting early January which lasted up until I was due for my next shot. I'm wanting to switch to the pill. It was great for lessening cramps, but terrible for the ongoing bleeding. My acne got worse, I didn't become depressed, I didn't gain weight, but I've been the same weight for 4 years, sex drive may have lessened, & I'm not pregnant."


"Hello all,
It is April 20th 2017. I started taking prozac in January 2017. I hated prozac. I was never depressed in the first place to begin with. My psychiatrist prescribed me the pills. They did not work for me. I have not been taking the pills since April 17th. So its been 3 days and I feel better and beginning to be back to my normal ways and more alert and less depressed. I have read online that people who stopped taking it feels good at first then it starts to kick in like emotions and stuff trying to get it out of ur system. I guess withdrawal? But I couldn't do prozac anymore. Made me VERY depressed and annoyed all the time. Didn't work for me"


"Ineffective for deep muscle pain for my Torn rotator cuff "


"I took my 2nd Lunesta last night. It was the first time that I have slept through the night in over 5 years. And it was a good, pleasant, restful sleep.  I was so happy this morning that I teared up. The horrendous metallic taste that lasted 15 hrs kept it from a 10. However, taking the pill with 24oz of water helped tremendously.

After years of waking at 2am for hours at a time, I started Ambien but that didn't help so I moved to Ambien CR. I still woke up several times a night (2-4x), ate some crazy concoction but went right back to sleep. I was happy with that improvement. Due to insurance changes, I was thankfully forced to find another sleep medication. In hindsight, Ambien CR sleep was angry, forced, stressful."


"So, I am only within my first month and this is SCARY. I have always had bad acne, but within this first month it has made it worse. The kind of cystic acne I get now, I cannot get rid of as soon as I used to be able to. Most pimples would go away for about a week and these have lasted for a month almost. I am also starting to take tretinoin and doxycycline in addition to the birth control because I feel so hopeless. Please, someone tell me this is supposed to happen? You know? Worse before better?

Thanks."


"I have degenerative disc disease, with anterior cervical discectomy with fusion (bone graft/metal plate and screws) of C5,C6 & C7; for 10 years. I suffer from frequent migraines, severe muscle spasms of the neck, left shoulder and left arm. I have tried every muscle relaxer on the shelf and Zanaflex has been the only one that actually gives me relief and comfort to function and sleep through the night. The only side effect that I have experienced is dry mouth. I just drink more water.  I have constant pain and work 12-14 hours per day, six days a week. Zanaflex along with my pain medicines have allowed me to make it through the day without total misery. Also, upon waking in the morning, I don't have that "hangover" feeling as with others."


"Avelox did promptly clear up bronchitis and sinusitis. My ankles were so swollen that I could only wear loose fitting houseshoes for the 10 day treatment time. It made me feel jittery and caused abdominal cramps. "


"Very effective, but very addictive. You may not realize until you stop taking it.
What do you do?
It helps the condition...but you become dependent on the drug?"


"Treated severe psoriasis."


"I've dealt with chronic nerve/back/arthritis pain for 17 years. I've taken just about everything there is to take including patches and an implanted neurostimulator. Oxy worked best but isn't available any more due to misuse. Belbucca has been good for me. I do get occasional migraines-Excederin Migraine works. I don't have the problem others have, I stick it on my cheek near my molars and it never falls off. There are trial blank films available to practice with. My biggest side effect after 6 months is quickened tooth decay. I have also had to learn how to deal with not having the euphoria effect of the other meds that gets you moving and effects mood. It's like the old days taking Advil and pain just leaves. I'm me again-I like that."


"I can still live my life while on this medicine. I have tried lots of relaxers and this is the best so far. It makes it so I can sleep at night."


"I had my latest infusion yesterday. It just started to kick in. My fatigue is slot nonexistent and I have the energy that I used to have with Humira."


"I am responding very well to this medication (7.5 mg twice a day since 6/3/12) for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (with associated panic attacks and depression). My anxiety is back down to a healthier level (not completely gone) and I'm not having as many panic attacks (they still wake me up in the middle of the night most nights). Overall, I feel less depressed (because I'm less anxious). I'm doing everything I can to help myself. I exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, don't smoke, don't drink, stay away from caffeine, and I read/listen to lots of self-help books/authors. It's not easy, but things are getting better. Buspar definitely helps."


"I have Meniere's, which is a more severe form of Vertigo.  It was prescribed by a Neuro ENT many years ago.  I can only take 1 - 2 daily because of the Vit C, but if I don't take it - I stay away from stairs and am not able to drive.  Also have to hold onto walls, etc when I walk thru the house.  It also has stopped the tinnitus and echoing in my left ear.  Have tried other products and was a total waste of money!!!!!"


"I approached my psychiatrist who told me he'd never heard of this off-label use for Tramadol and he would not prescribe.  I went back to my former (beloved) psychiatrist who'd stopped accepting insurance (hence the change).  He was sympathetic, but said he couldn't prescribe it, risking his license.  He suggested my G.P.  I was sure she'd say no, so I never asked until last Friday over the patient portal.  I said I needed it for chronic hip and knee pain (not untruthful) and I was surprised she prescribed.  Now I am torn about visiting her and requesting more.  I am afraid she will not give more for the stated reason and really will not give more if I divulge the true reason.  I see my psychiatrist Monday and will seek his advice."


"It doesn't do me a bit of good."


"I had the paragard inserted two weeks ago. I'm 38 and have had two children. The insertion hurt , not really painful though. It took only a few moments. They gave me a pad to wear home but I never even spotted. But the cramps were pretty strong. But nothing I couldn't bare. Next day I spotted a little, just wore a panty liner. Cramps lasted three days and the sporting a week. Than I started my period. No cramps, medium to heavy flow. I wore a super tampon for about two hours between changes. Period lasted a week. Finally stopped bleeding and had sex for the first time since insertion. No pain or cramps. My bf didn't even feel the strings. So far loving it."


"I could not get the colitis under control for 18 months, finally my doctor prescribed Remicade. Well after the first treatment bleeding stopped and I feel like a normal person again. Only small side effect for me is I feel a bit  dizzy just after the treatment"


"My father died of colon cancer. Even so, last colonoscopy I told the doctor that it would be my last, since I would never, ever do the prep again, which then was the golitely, which can only be described as drinking a stranger's hocked luggies. He promised me that by the time of my next one, there would be something better. I fell for it. This was not better and I could not finish it. I left about 1/4 of the mixture. I knew that if I took another sip, it was all coming up and I would have downed yesterday's bottle for nothing. Right now I am waiting for the 3/4 dose to kick in. Will never do this again. Ever."


"My daughter was on this birth control for a few years.   I lost her to a pulmonary embolism last year.   She was only 19.   Do I feel this pill played some part in what happened absolutely.    Be careful and weigh your options.    I took birth control and not for one minute did I think this would happen but everyone's body acts differently and tolerates things differently.   There needs to be a safer way for young girls."


"I am 27 years old, and started taking Beyaz a few months ago.
I was extremely hesitant about taking this because I was so, -SO- afraid of gaining weight. I have taken other pills in the past that have caused weight gain, nausea, bloating, etc, but this pill has proven me wrong, I have had no side effects, it's actually a bit shocking. So glad my doctor recommended this to me."


"Helps a lot with anxiety and depression but made me emotionally numb with a low sex drive (27 male here). I've been on them for about four months and am going off them. Don't use citalopram unless you really need to. I'm finding myself less motivated about life and apathetic towards a lot after being on them all this time."


"Used for stubborn chin and jawline acne. I'm a 23 y/o woman and 110lbs. I have been on a lower dose, 100mg once a day. I avoid dairy/calcium around the time I take this medication. My acne started to clear significantly at two months, by three months it was completely gone. I stopped taking antibiotics after three months and two months later my acne came back. Now I'm back on the same dose again. Hopefully with time I will see long term improvement."


"The brand version of Intuniv has been extremely helpful for my son with helping him to moderate his ADHD behaviors.  He was diagnosed with the hyperactive subtype, and the problematic behaviors all but disappeared while taking a daily 2mg dose.  He has been taking Intuniv for over 4 years now with no observed side-effects."


"Was on Lexapro for 10 yrs at 10 mil and was wonderful? Then it pooped out! Doctor than prescribed 20 mil which I have been taking for 7 weeks now? My question is has anyone taken this long or longer to see results?"


"I found out I had endometriosis a few months ago and before I went on birth control(Sprintec) I would be in such pain I wouldn't be able to get out of bed. It was horrible. When my OBGYN put me on this birth control the pain stopped and I was able to do a lot of things I wasn't able to before."


"I normally take Milk of Magnesia and have never had issues with it. It clears out my system well with no issues. I decided to try ducolax  because it is supposed to be gentle. Gentle as a bad stomach flu. I took 3 tablets at 11 pm by 4 am I was having severe cramps but no action. By 8 am I was dry heaving/vomiting while everything else was coming out the other end. I broke out in a cold sweat and it was everything I could do to stay upright on the toilet. I was there for 45 minutes before crawling back into bed. Every 10-15 minutes I was back in the bathroom. Then crawl back to bed. The worst was over by noon but I continue to have periodic cramps and diarrhea over 24 hours later. From now on I will stick with MoM."


"Hi, I am Brazilian. So, sorry about my English. I am 57 yo and I started to have a very hard anxiety and depression around 10 years ago. After a lot of diferent antidepressants and anxiolytic medicines that worsened or destroyed my sexual life for almost 10 years I found that I had hypogonadism. My doctor prescribed Axiron 6 months ago and my depression and anxiety simply disapeared and I have now a normal life, with much more energy and my sexual life is back. Axiron saved my life."


"I have used lamisil before and was very pleased with the results. After the full course of medication my toenails looked much better. I had no side effects and I also have a seizure disorder, it worked great for me. My brother took it for the same reason and he had no side effects either. It worked for him as well. It was pricy but worth the results."


"I was put on Cymbalta 60mg when I was in the psych ward for a suicide attempt. This medication significantly helped my depression and my thoughts of suicide went away. Cymbalta has been life changing for me. I thought I didn't need it anymore so I took myself off of it a month ago. The withdrawals are terrible! Worse than wothdrawaling from benzos, I was shaky for a straight week. After being off of it for a couple weeks my depression and anxiety came back full force, I realized how much it had been helping me and asked my doctor to put me back on it. I'm now on 30mg and feel less anxious and less sad."


"I'm a 55 year old female from CT, i started this July 1st 2016. Weighing 297 pounds. Today is July 12th, I weighed in at 284.  I feel great! I have more energy, eat less and overall my attitude is changing ink for the positive. The boost I needed. I actually have less aches and pains. I must say, I never thought I'd forget to eat! I do get a little light headed if I don't eat. I have a salad or something light and move on. Oh, and drink lots of water!!!! One happy woman who thought id never play with my grandkids the way I wanted!"


"I've been taking Abilify for eight months now. Although it made me gain 15-20kg (something like 33-40 lbs I believe?), my experience is quite positive. The sadness from my major depressive episode, as well as my suicidal thoughts, have been almost annihilated. The reason why I rated it as a six is because it didn't help ease the great fatigue I have. But it helped a lot, that is for sure."


"I have a love/hate relationship with Mirena. When it was inserted, it was uncomfortable for sure. I also bled like the river nile for about a month straight, my body took a break for a week and then bled again for another 2 weeks. I had it placed in June, it's now the end of October. I spot every now and then and almost always have brown discharge. However, I am prone to long horrendous periods and migraines without BC and since the initial bleeding has stopped, my migraines are fewer and the bleeding seems to be as well. BUT, I have acne. On my chin, neck and back and that is really frustrating. Weight hasn't changed, but bloating is present, and breasts are always tender. Yeast infections too. I'm considering removal."


"I had the birth control in my arm for 3 months, I took it our cause I was bleeding constantly. My doctor said I should switched to the pill. I took it for about 3months, I always got my period almost on the same day, I usually had it for more than 5days! I was a healthy 19 year old, I ended up having a stroke while pregnant. I was 7 weeks pregnant ,I lost my balance , I can't walk well, doctors have no explanation for it besides taking the pill. I'm in rehab trying to walk, please don't take this!"


"I find this drug very helpful with pain and also to help me be more ambulatory"


""I have GAD, and after three years of taking care of my younger brother who has severe GAD as well as going through an episode of pyschosis, I was told by my pdoc that I have "caregiver's burnout". I was prescribed 20 mgs of Paxil every day and 15mg of Buspirone (Buspar) twice a day. It has been nearly a month now on these meds and I do see an improvement. I'm not sure which one is helping me more but my anxiety level has gone from an 8 or 9 every day to about a 5. I hope to see continued improvement.""


"So far, I love this birth control method. I have had some light spotting here and there and not knowing when to expect a period can be a pain, but the positives outweigh the negatives. I was worried about gaining weight or breaking out but I've experienced neither. Give it a try and see how your body responds."


"I've been on Norco 10/325 for over a year.. it helps me be normal, being that I have a slipped disc, pinched nerve and stenosis. It doesn't take the spasms away, but I haven't found anything that does. If anyone knows of one that works please let me know I've tried them all. I just hate that because people can't see an injury they think you are not in serious pain, I hurt everyday and would love nothing more than to just be normal."


"I had been suffering from what I thought to be bronchitis for several months.  I would cough sputum for about 1/2 hour in the morning when I awoke and after I laid down at night.  I've tried over the counter and another antibiotic from the doctor.  After going back to the doctor because nothing was working, he prescribed Levofloxacin, 500 mg/daily.  Within a few days I could tell the infection was clearing.  Within a week, the coughing and sputum was gone."


"The olanzapine works for me. I sleep at night and my thoughts rarely race now. And it is so wonderful not to feel depressed. If it wasn't for the weight gain, I would give it a ten."


"I am a retired nurse.  I have done all of the 'research' regarding the Guaifenesin for Fibromyalgia treatment.  I was diagnosed a year ago with this painful, awful disease and am unable to tolerate any of the prescribed medication available.  After a friend literally stumbled upon her Mucenex treatment - having an upper respiratory infection and her Fibro pain subsided! I started on the Guaifenesin only at 600 mg a day. Not only did my pain ease up immediately - my mucous level is lower and I am confident that this will help my C.O.P.D. because I am breathing better. (Oxygen dependent at night) This OTC treatment has relieved my pain by 80%.  I am sleeping better and moving easier. This works and has changed my life and attitude."


"This medication worked immediately lowering my Blood Glucose. I was only on it for about 1 week (free samples from Physician). Then the Pharmacy called and said my Excellent insurance doesn't cover it. Out of pocket cost $430/ 30 day supply - No Can Do ! Switched to Invocana instead. Farxiga apparently works with no side effects (I'm a guy), but no insurance coverage for drug."


"Quick reduction of symptoms"


"This medication started working immediately.  Within three days--more moisture. Within the next week, my interest in sex returned and I felt a major decrease in pain.  I have been using this medication for 5 months now.  Am I completely discomfort free?  No.  However, with use of a lubricant like coconut oil (best I've used) or olive oil (second best), both of which are the most like the body's natural moisture and some modifications in position or speed, this medicine has been a miracle for us.  Unlike when we were young, it takes more preparation to be physically ready for intercourse, but we've adapted to those changes.  I was/am frightened by the potential side effects.  The only drawback for me at this point is an increase night sweats"


"I was terrified by all the bad reviews I read on here before getting this type of birth control, but after having Nexplanon in for 3 months, I absolutely love it! I haven't gained weight, I don't have any hormonal side affects, or anything like that. The only side affect I've gotten from it is that I don't get my period anymore. So if you still want to get your period every month, it probably won't happen. I do have VERY light spotting maybe twice a month and that's it. But it's so light that you technically can't even notice it. Overall I'm really glad with how it turned out.

This is the first birth control I've used and so far it's really good. I'm 19 and weight 125 pounds."


"I have overactive bladder & Incontinence really bad for being in my late 30's. I never thought a single patch for 24 hours could even function for my disfunctional bladder. I put it on for the first time after I showered before bed, waking up I didn't feel as full and didn't have to rush to the bathroom. During the day no leakage at all when I walk and no urge. I feel normal again. All I know whoever invented this is genius cause it is so nice to not wear pads, but please just reduce the price a bit."


"My doctor called this a miracle drug and it worked miracles for me. I wish I had known about it years ago. I was a pack a day smoker for 40 years. By week two on chantrix I was down to 1-2 cigs a day and I think that was me hanging on to an old need.  Week three, I was a non-smoker. No cravings, no longing.

Side effects- I am tiny, 100 pounds, so the full dose was way too strong for me. It ripped up my stomach and caused diarrhea  until I cut back the dosage slightly. No depression or mood swings (and this from someone who went through a wicked peri-menopause.) Doctor warned of serious nightmares. I had no dreams at all though did have sleeplessness for 2-3 weeks.

Have been smoke free for 3 months. Grateful . Thanks Chantrix!"


"Best one for me in the 20 some yrs I've had to deal with them. I've taken 100mg pills all along. "


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I am a critical care nurse for over 7 years. I have given prep to hundreds of patients over the years, this is my first self experience. At 28 years old, I have to have a colonoscopy and EGD for abdominal pain and bloody stools for over 3 weeks. I have a pretty diverse palate and eat some crazy things, but this: HORRIBLE! I choked down every swig. Smells half decent, tastes terrible. Called my doctor and there really isn't any other prep available. So, I did what I had to do. I will say, the effects weren't terrible. No cramping. No bloating. Only nausea was the gagging to get it down. A few watery stools. I understand it's most likely because of the electrolyte mix, but O. M. G! Something needs to be done about the taste! Indescribable!"


"Have had several bouts of gout and the pain is terrible. I get it in the big and second toe with  joint swelling, hot and red.  Within 2 hrs of my  first dose of indomethacin  the pain was almost gone. One 50 mg tablet so far no side effects unlike other drugs I have been prescribed  which are very hard on stomach  and cause diarrhea.  I will have to see what happens after a few more doses"


"Since starting this medication in conjunction with prednisone I am able to work an 8 hour day again."


"I was put on Biaxin 3 days ago for sinus infection, bronchitis, ear infection and upper respiratory tract infection, and have the most horrible taste in my mouth. The 1st night I got up several times just to brush my teeth to get rid of the taste. I called the Doctor today and he is calling in something else. "


"I was switched to Vienva from Orsythia by my pharmacy last month. I called my doc to make sure it was okay and she said yes they have the same active ingredients and may just have some different fillers and additives, but it should not effect me. I was upset because I had been on Orsythia for 6+ months with no problems at all. I just finished my first week of Vienva and have had some side effects. I feel nauseous a lot of the time, cramps periodically, increased anxiety, no appetite, fatigue and get dizzy at times. I wasn't able to find any reviews of Vienva on other sites so I'm leaving my review here to hopefully help others in the same situation. I'm going to try to stick it out and see if the side effects go away after a couple months."


"Started on 10mg for 1 week with little results. Woke up twice every night, seems like it took forever to get back to sleep. Doctor increased dose to 2

10mg per night-it's been a month now and I'm still waking up at least twice each night. I have tried taking both capsules around 9-9:30PM, or 1 at 9:30PM & the other around 11PM, same sleep interruptions.  I decided to just get up at 4AM-when I'm awake the second time and stare at the TV or fix my husband's lunch.  I'm still not feeling as if I'm getting a good night's sleep-find myself tired and grouchy during the day and early evening. Feeling very frustrated."


"Helps with migraines when Imitrex fails.  I have to eat before taking a dose or it will make me nauseous."


"I was prescribed this by the doctor. She never mentioned that it could make my skin raw, dry, flaky etc so when I read reviews, I was a bit afraid to use it. I didn't slather it on but put it on the spots directly (though it says it's not for that). I figured if they dried out, it wouldn't be too bad. I tried this and I thought it was really gentle. I had no red dry skin, the spots looked smaller...this made me think that maybe mine was out of date or hadn't been kept in the fridge before use like it says to do. Maybe I just have really resilient skin (as I have had acid peels). So for me, this was good. My skin isn't perfect but the big spots I used to get are a thing of the past and any new ones shrink quickly."


"2 yrs ago I suddenly became so constipated that I couldn't have gone using a jackhammer!! That's how bad it was but after using every OTC laxatives, enemas everything I couldn't go. SO I told my Dr what was going on and she prescribed Kristalose for 125.00 a month. No success in the beginning then got a tad better. Then I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism which slows everything down and was given medication for that. FINALLY I saw a commercial for MOM and realized I had not tried it before. SO I rushed out and got some. IT HAS CHARGE MY LIFE IN A GREAT WAY!!!  No more pain as I had for not going for a week. No CRAMPING. Just stay close to home after use and it works. Sometimes faster than others, but IT WILL work.

GOOD LUCK GUYS"


"Best birth control ever. I had it put in during a period in June 2010 and never had another one. I never had spotting or anything negative happen. I did not gain weight or have mood swings. I think it's great! Give it a shot, it may work great, it may not. Never know until you try."


"My experience with wellbutrim has been awesome. I'm 33 year old male. The first weeks was a bomb on my sexual desire...it went to the roof!!! I felt like I was 15 year old again. I called my doctor worried I didn't know that this could happen ja ja ja !! But it help me a lot with my depression and with  my ADHD!! I'm the owner of, with my family, major chain of pharmacies here in my homeland 600 employees!! So you can imagine the stress I being all this time. But this wellbutrim has worked miracles !! Thank you buprobion!! I'm in the 7 month taking this wonderful pill!!!"


"I use this for lower back and hip pain. It works very well on the sciatic pain I get from injury to my back and hip. the only other drug that helps is at least 800mg of motrin. Naproxen works for about 7 hours while motrin only lasts 3-4 hours. I think these basically relieve swelling pressure on the nerve column."


"I am a 19 year old studying Chemical Engineering in college, and I would say that Concerta has helped me so much. I started taking this in 18mg doses in 3rd grade and I was then able make straight A's through 5th grade. I then began taking a higher dosage of 36mg in middle school and continued taking it until this day.  I graduated within the top 4% of my high school class and I am doing very well in college.  The single greatest thing about Concerta at 36mg dosage, is that I can study and stay focused up to 12 hours straight! I have become an extremely hard worker and other students, who don't have ADD, simply can't keep up with me because of the amount of time I am able to put into my studies.  I would highly recommend Concerta."


"I got the mirena fitted on the 13th Feb, having it fitted wasn't to bad, just felt a little uncomfortable. But after, it was fitted I did experience the worse cramps ever, it was so painful - I've never had children so I don't know if it was because of that.
I bled consecutively for 4 weeks, heavy bleeding for 1 then really light, spotting for 3. However I didn't have a single cramp.

Soon after that, I've had no bleeding, no pains. No periods since so it seems to be doing the job, I think you've just got to persevere with it and let it get use to your body before you start criticising it. However it doesn't work for everyone :)"


"I have been on Mirena for 4 years now. It has been good so far, I have not had a period or spotting in almost 4 years. I haven't gained any weight (but I do feel bloated from time to time). The only down side is my sex drive has nose dived. I used to ALWAYS be ready to go another round but now I have no interest which causes me to get a little moody but the positive out weighs the negative."


"Tasted like grape koolaid with a bleach chemical undertone. It wasn't pleasant to drink but whatever, just got it down   2 extra 16oz cups of water. Once it all took effect an hour later, I had to keep going to the toilet every few minutes, which went on for a couple of hours, and after a while it was just liquid. The worst part was having to get up at 4AM to do the whole ordeal again. And I was still runny by 1pm nearly 9 hours later. So the second dose really needs to be way before the appt. And the fasting is tough. Doctor said I was totally clean though. Colonoscopy showed a perfectly healthy smooth colon. Luckily I don't likely need to do this again for another 5-10."


"On this pill for 3 months. Constant UTIs despite drinking 2 liters of water a day. I have never had a migraine until this pill. Makes sex painful. No vaginal lubrication at all despite arousal level. Would not reccommend!"


"Excellent medication, been heavy drinker for 7 years, spiralled out of control in past few months, been on Campral for two weeks, still have occasional cravings, but easily controlled. Would recommend."


"I am on lexapro, for depression, n buspar, for anxiety. My Dr added 40 mgs of geodon about 3 weeks ago, as a mood stabilizer... Well, it stabilized my mood, but at the most crazy manic level I've ever had. I sometimes worry myself into mania, which usually lasts about 3 days. Then I sleep it off, n I'm back to my mostly even keel self. Always anxious n slightly depressed, but functioning in the world... I did start this med in a manic phase, but to help calm me. It did not work. N my Dr is on vaca till next week... I've never posted to a forum b4, but I've never felt like this b4. I'm hoping for some insight from others. Has anyone else had this reaction? Please help."


"20mg x2 days...
1. Severe headache
2. No energy
3. Weekness
3. Very sleepy
6. Pain in ribs (L side more)
I have discontinued the Statin and will change diet, take fish oil and low dose aspirin daily."


"Used this medicine and it makes it very difficult to lose weight. Makes me have no appetite in the morning or the rest of the day. Mental clarity is hindered."


"I started taking this medication in combination with Quinapril, which apparently is common (they also make a single pill containing both medicines).  My blood pressure was reduced, though it is hard to say if one medicine was more effective than the other.  However, after taking this, I began having attacks of gout, which I've never had in my life.  This diuretic increases uric acid levels in the bloodstream, which is the cause of gout.  If you are prone to gout or develop it let your doctor know."


"It is very useful for treating dental abscess but a combination will work better, along with  amoxicillin. Flagyl alone might not be good enough."


"I've tried quite a few antidepressant meds over the last 20 or so years and this one is the worst.  I've had nausea, bad abdominal pains, bloating, diarrhea, and intensified anger and rage.  After the first week I contacted my Physician's office because I was feeling worse. The nurse contacted me back and said the doctor wanted me to continue the medication because I hadn't been on it long enough. I've been out on it for almost a month now and I'm getting off of this trash. This stuff shouldn't even be on the market."


"I'm currently between diagnoses of Bipolar II and BPD. I started on 400mg Lithium (taking my level to 0.3) and already felt some effects with it. I recently increased this to 600mg and whilst I feel like myself again, I have a few side effects. A lot of nausea, being put off of food, an extreme thirst (which isn't a bad thing because it's important to stay super hydrated on Lithium!), minor muscle weakness and stomach issues. When starting and increasing the dose, I became incredibly gassy (thankfully, odourless!) and have had slight stomach upsets. I've also found acid reflux to be a huge symptom for me also, whether it is caused by taking Lithium alongside Celexa (Citalopram) and Inderal (Propranolol), I'm unsure. overall, great drug."


"I have used this medicine to treat presumed basal cell carcinoma as well as other areas of skin that appear to be sun-damaged and am absolutely thrilled with the result. Yes, during treatment, the area of skin being treated can look bad but it has been worth it.  I just finished a treatment on my forehead and left ear and now have perfect new, smooth skin after the scabs feel off. I usually under-go a 4 week regime with 5 days on and 2 days off. I've experienced weepy treatment areas and sometimes a slight tingling sensation around affected areas but nothing worse.This drug has truly saved me a lot of money and pain as I used to have to go through cut and stitch treatments."


"Lyrica helped the stinging, pins and needles feeling in my feet. However, my ankles swelled badly so I quit taking it. "


"I got my Mirena almost 6 months ago now and I absolutely love it. I read so many reviews that made me hesitate to get it - it took me months to decide which birth control to get, but my Dr recommended this so I trusted her. I have had 1 child previously, 2 years ago now, so I think that helped make my experience smooth. I took some ibuprofen before getting it put in and there was discomfort but nothing unbearable. I spotted and had irregular periods for the first 2 months, it was really annoying. Then I spotted occasionally for another two months or so. My periods have stopped completely now so it was worth it. Also, the cramping was not bad at all. Nothing more than the moderate period pains I used to get. And my partner never notices it."


"I had ongoing sinus problems that snowballed into a nasty infection. After my first sinus rinse while taking methylprednisolone, I couldn't believe my eyes - no thick, yellow mucous on the tissue! I can breathe!

The sleeplessness is there. It's almost more annoying than drowsiness, because you'll want to sleep -- but can't. But the relief is worth a few sleepless moments."


"Mirena IUD was the best decision I ever made. It gave me my life back. I almost lost my job due to extremely debilitating periods. I bled on and off for the first 3 months and still had some cramps. By 6 months my period had almost disappeared. I've had the IUD for 4 years now and I'll be lining up for another one in 12 months time."


"Edluar has worked better than anything I've tried. It works fast and I'm even dreaming again, which I wasn't with a few others. I actually break mine in half and only take a half dose. Still works great. Taste is not bad. Have had some issues with availability though. I hope they're not taking it off the market."


"So I had mine put in about a week ago and I had it put in right before I got my other birth control taken out.. the one that looks like a match stick in your arm ( can't spell it right now) and omg did it hurt.. My sister had it and told me it wouldn't hurt but she didn't tell me that it was a lot worse to insert if you haven't had kids
 - which I haven't.. but it was bearable. We got some ibuprofen and I was fine.  I even went shopping after.  I still feel like I've got cramps and my back hurts a little more then usual but other then that it's been going pretty great. All though my nipples hurt but I'm not sure what's going on with that....."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"In a period of few years I visited many doctors because of pain in my stomach. I was always hungry and felt very tired. Sometimes my belly was like a balloon without any reason. Until this doctor sent to for a blood test for helicobacter pylori and the results came out positive. I was very optimistic and was hoping this pain and problems finally stop, I got the medicine on Saturday and started the treatment on Sunday morning. After taking it for 3 days I noticed a huge results, had more energy and I was waking up fresh. A day after I started having this sweet taste in my mouth which scared me a little bit... maybe I got an infection. I was continuing taking this medicine day 7th on this treatment I got a terrible headache and anxiety,"


"I'm only 20 but I've already developed a pretty serious skag habit, had a mild OD just two days ago (woke up before EMTs arrived) and that was the last straw.Tried 10 times to quit in the last 2 months but I'm a pussy and could never get past the second day, luckily after I OD'ed I received the right resources to quit once and for all

Today was my first day on suboxone after going to a clinic that is truly a god-send. I was able to walk in without an appointment and walked out with a 7 day supply (look for clinics with multiple doctors so you don't have to wait to get in)Anyway I feel FANTASTIC. The withdrawls and cravings are completely gone. Took 30 mins to start to feel and about an hour to really kick in. I feel normal! Bless this drug!"


"Lyrica gave me my life back!  The only side effect that MAY have been due to Lyrica is vision loss, but I have worn glasses for 30 years, so no big deal for my eyesight to slightly worsen over 2 yrs on the drug. Some of the side effects that people mention could be due to menopause rather than Lyrica. I gladly spend $60 for a monthly supply.  Other meds I took previously left me like a zombie. With lyrica I actually feel good."


"my husband was given a shot of rocephine within seconds he was in anaphylactic shock. He was given benedryll to reverse the medication. He was rushed to the hospital his blood pressure shot thru the roof he nearly died. From the shot he suffers from serum sickness, high blood pressure, irreg heart beat, extreme sweating, restless leg sydrom,, headaches, loss of appetite, PTSD, extreme panick attacks, hyperactivity, insomnia, flushing, jitters all the time, fear, depression, chest pain, feeling of discomfort.  Loss of dignity, my husband is a different person and this drug did this to him.  It is a daily struggle every moments to keep positive and hope for a cure to fix his neurological damage this shot has caused"


"I have been on this only a short time with no side effects and my breathing has improved so much. I believe I can shortly be taken off of prednisone for the first time in 30 months using this along with Brovana and budesonide. No need to say I am thrilled. Now just need to get my insurance to help pay for this."


"Very frightened to do colonoscopy ! I had bad experience years ago with prep GoLYTELY. Anesthesia that they used didn't work well and I woke up during the scope as they turned the corner in colon. Also was out for most of the day. Today was a totally different experience! I took Miralax, Dulcolax and pushed the fluids! Gatorade and water. It wasn't to bad at all except some upset stomach later in the night. The anesthesia Propofol was a wonderful experience! I had no pain was out in 20 seconds and just dreamed.It was just like I fell asleep! Woke up a little groggy and head felt little heavy for about 10 minutes. I went home and am eating and feeling fine."


"Absolutely horrible, randomly got switched from my regular pill ortho tri cyclen. I'm pretty sure I was given poison because I have been non stop vomiting since taking this pill. My regular birth control made me nauseous at first but not bad at all but this stuff actually made me feel like I was going to die"


"I love this pill but,  I have felt very angry.  Not sure if the pill is making me PMS or not."


"I suffered severe Clinical depression for 8 months. A combination of  Quetiapine and Venlafaxine succeeded where Antidepressants alone failed. I found Quetiapine useful for Anxiety."


"I've had this birth control since December 2016 and am having it removed next week. I have gained around 20lbs that I cannot get off of me. I'm always feeling depressed and the weight gain really has me even more depressed. One minute I'm happy the next out of no where I'm pissed off for no reason at all. I was on the nuvaring for 5 years and wasn't told that after 5 years you have to take a break from it. It started messing up my cycles so I went to nexplanon and now I'm going back to the nuvaring. I went maybe 3 months without a cycle but now I've been spotting for almost 2 weeks, can't handle that either."


"I have a hard time rating this, because my feelings are mixed. I naturally have emotionally high highs and low lows when not on any birth control. On this pill the emotions have somewhat leveled out, though not as much as they did on Yaz and maybe not enough. The real down side is a severely decreased sex drive (same response on Yaz) and it's affecting my relationship with my boyfriend. I can't attribute my breast growth, skin clearing or weight gain to Aviane - all due to other factors. I take Aviane at night to sleep through the nausea (same on Yaz). If I miss a pill and have to take 2, it WILL make me vomit. But taking 1 pill each night as prescribed makes it manageable. I don't want to shop around, but maybe Aviane is not the pill for me."


"I suffered with nasty toenail fungus on both of my big toes for almost 15yrs. Both nails were thick, black and yellow and very crooked. I was ashamed and embarrassed to show my toes to anyone!! I finally decided I could no longer take the pain and suffering. It took months for me to see any change but I was determined to stick with it. I felt it was my last hope after trying so many different other cream and oils before. After about 8 months I finally saw a difference in the health of my toenails. I took the medicine for about a year before I was completely satisfied. Fortunately for me I had zero side effects at all. I am very pleased with the outcome, but you definitely have to have some patience taking this medicine."


"So I decided to try a new method of birth control as I have been using the pill for the better part of the last 7 years. I am petite (4'10), 23 yrs old nulliparous with mod-heavy painful periods. I got my Jaydess iud (skyla in the US) inserted just about 24 hours ago. Took 800mg of advil before the appointment. Do not let these reviews scare you about the pain. Honestly it was about a 6/10 but the cramping wasn't the issue, it was more for the sharp insertion pain which lasted tops 30secs. They also used an ultrasound which I thought was great. Afterwards I did spot for a bit (day 3 of period), no cramps coming home but did have some mod during the night and took 400mg of advil. I feel great this morning, hope it all works out! :)"


"I am a recovering alcoholic, now 23 years sober but have had to relent and begin taking alprazolam for general ongoing mild anxiety which affects my sleeping which in the past had been very normal. I take one half of an oval pill and then one half of an Ambien for sleep and it has worked great. No side effects. Of course I am concerned about addiction but I am against the wall on a remedy and I am committed to a limit on my alprazolam and Ambien."

"Helps with leg cramps and blood pressure."


"I started taking this medication about eight weeks ago for increased anxiety (likely aggravated by menopause).  It was affecting my life greatly.  Side effects of blurred vision, low sex drive and sweats were extreme. I kept questioning whether or not I would get past the side effects, especially the sweating as I was starting to feel better.  Thankfully they all passed except for the low sex drive.  That bothers me a bit but not enough to change meds and I feel amazing.  Heading back to work next week and actually looking forward to it.  I also realized I probably should have been on this medication a long time ago.  Hang in there for at least eight weeks before giving up due to side effects."


"It makes my stomach cramp and haven't lost as much weight as I had hoped"


"I started stelara in 2013 cleared me up, miracle drug. Two years later I developed psoriatic arthritis and stelara did not help my arthritis. My dr switched me to cosentyx back in April and my lower leg is broke out and cosentyx is not helping my arthritis. My dr is swithing me to taltz now. I have never taken any TNF's such as Humira but may have too."


"Horrible !  My husband has asthma and his doctor switched him to the RespiClick and he gets little to no relief.  With 1 or 2 hits on his old inhaler his lungs would open up,  the wheezing would stop. With the RespiClick, it often takes 4 or 5 hits just to open up a tiny bit, often leading to a breathing treatment to get real relief.  Why they would consider this a "rescue" inhaler is beyond me.  Avoid this inhaler even if you get the "free" coupon.  Not worth it."


"Omg worst product ever! Used it last night before bed and within an hour started getting an irritated burning sensation.  Tried to sit in tub to wash it out.  My vagina was as red as can be and is still on fire and feels like a friction burn! Went to Dr today and couldn't even see anything under the scope because there is still so much medicine left! Worst product ever!!!"


"Works within 5-10 minutes of taking one 200 mg pill. It lasts for up to 6 hours."


"Butrans causes depression, anxiety, dizziness, nausea. Do not get on this medication."


"This gel is the best thing ever!!! Really works to get rid of spots both on the surface of the skin & underneath the skin. I suffer with breakouts especially during exam season & without duac I dread to think what my skin would be like. Works a dream! However, it is quite drying so I would reccomend using a moisturisor such as E45 to avoid dry flaky skin. Overall an amazing product :)"


"I had the copper IUD inserted 3 weeks ago. Right after they inserted it, I was in awful pain. I was bleeding and had discomfort for 7 days after insertion. The bleeding stopped for 5 days and then I started bleeding again for 7 days, only this time it was heavier and more painful. Today I had to go to the ER because the pain was unbearable and had it removed. My cramps felt more like contractions. My body definitely did not like it"


"I have been taking Wellbutrin 300 mg XL for over 10 years after a major depression.  It was very effective at stabilizing my mood.   It also helps with my mental concentration and focus.  I tried the generic which didn't seem to work as well. I am under extreme stress with a challenging job and s difficult relationship (separated now) because of my partners alcohol abuse.  I was very fearful of another episode but so far have managed to remain stable.  I would be lost without it."


"I mainly got on Yaz for acne and I've been taking it for four months and have only seen a slight difference. I still break out really bad on my period and it just seems like an on going cycle. The good thing about this is my period is very regular and SUPER light which I love! and I also don't experience cramping anymore. I am hoping that my acne starts to go away soon though."


"I am so thankful I googled "monistat itching" because I thought I was going crazy. I've used monistat years ago and got a little itching and burning then, but nothing compared to this. I put on the monistat 7 externally and within minutes the torture began. If there is a hell, I'm pretty sure the seventh circle involves having your genitals itch and burn like this. It's definitely worse than the YI itself. God help us all."


"It's very helpful."


"Can't  live without it"


"CHANGED me life for the BETTER! Took a little while to kick in. Better to be on this then a habit-forming or dependent medicine..you have to want to change and then this medicine will work. Life-saver! 10mg once a day for 6 months now."


"Cyclobenzaprine actually CAUSES me to feel joint pain plus overall fatigue, far beyond what fibromyalgia does. A few days after taking this, I noticed feeling depression out of nowhere, getting short of breath quickly (I'm fairly young & work out 5-6 days a week for 60-70 minutes a day, so this abnormal for me), my chest felt tight, my body was stiff as a board. I dropped this & just one day later I felt completely back to my normal self."


"I experience depression, anxiety and schizophrenic/general psychotic symptoms and have found even an incredibly low dosage of this to be incredibly helpful, especially in lessening voices. However, it does make me stupidly tired and gives me bad migraines upon waking up in the morning."


"I've only been using Epiduo for a few days and I don't know how I'll ever go without it. I use it twice a day and it is working wonders on my acne.

Some people have mentioned that it dries out their skin and makes it flaky. I have not experienced this whatsoever because I have very oily skin."


"My skin isn't completely covered in pimples, but I am always breaking out, including those deep, painful ones. I got super diligent about my skincare a few months ago because I was tired of being in my mid-twenties with the skin of a teenager. I tried Proactiv, but I was left with skin that was red, flaky, irritated, and STILL breaking out. Not exactly a great combination.

When I first tried this product, I have to admit that I was skeptical because everything else on the market seems to operate under the assumption that it has to be harsh to work. Thankfully Neutrogena made an effective acne product that doesn't leave me red and flaky, even after a few months of use.

Morning: Neutrogena Acne Stress Power Foam Wash and Accutane."


"I started this 4 days ago.. taking 1/2 of 50 mg at night.. so 25 mg. I will do that for 7 nights, then up to 50mg for 7 nights, then 75 mg for 7 nights, then 100 mg for 7 nights, and so on until I reach a mg my Dr. and I are comfortable with.
So far I have not had any side effects except- not being hungry. In the last 3 days I have hardly eaten anything. I've been very thirsty for water, soda taste like crap- and I was very addicted to diet coke.
I haven't weighed yet... been meaning to. Last I weighed was a month or so ago, and I was at 180 ish.
Today is July 10th 2017. I will weigh after work and see where I am so I have a better idea who this will effect me!
I've gone from 120 to 180 ish in the past year - with different meds.."


"Macrodantin was prescribed to me to prevent UTI . I only have to take one when needed. During one month I got four fever attacks with chills, headaches and muscle cramps. Very much like flu symptoms . It goes on for 2 days then I am fine again.  Eventually I realised that it might be this medication since I took one on a Friday evening and the next day when I woke up I got this horrible symptoms again  I read about the side effects and realised that this might be the cause."


"I have been taking this for a month now. I am taking Fluoxetine 10 mg for depression and anxiety. I am 20 years old. I have had anxiety and been having panic attacks for years. Recently, it's gotten worse and I gathered the courage to go to a Dr. He prescribed this medication for 3 months. I started feeling the effects about 2 1/2 weeks in. The daily pangs of anxiety are gone, and I feel so much better already. I am so glad I went to the Dr. and so thankful for this medication. I can describe the feeling as normal, and relieved. The side effects I have experienced have been headache while taking it on an empty stomach. Besides that, I have absolutely no complaints."


"I'm very frustrated right at the moment. My son who is 37 years old and has been on risperdal for 5 years. Now he decides he doesn't need it anymore. Well the voices are totally out of control. He can't even hear me when I talk to him, because the voices are so loud. He doesn't sleep, he talks constantly to them. I just wish he would take the medicines. We've been dealing with this for 17 years, so I do know that this medication works to quieten the voices."


"I've been using this medication for many years. The only problem I've had is bruising at the injection site."


"I used this medication for years.  It was comfortable to use, with few side effects.  Finally, after years of use, I developed a cough and had to discontinue.  I've been unable to find another medication that is as comfortable and effective as this one."


"It worked but made my nose bleed so I went back to Nasacort."


"I am 21 a mother to a 2 year old daughter and 3 month old son. I put Mirena in a month ago and I have  not stopped bleeding since! The only good thing I can say is that I am not pregnant..I'm going to have it removed tomorrow!"


"I started taking Effexor about a year ago.  It has made an incredible difference to my life.  I was extremely anxious, waking at night in a sweat (possible also the onset of menopause) and struggling to go back to sleep.  I was also depressed and found myself often crying for no reason at all.  I started very slowly, increasing dose every 2 months.  I cannot recommend Effexor enough.  I feel that it has turned my life around.  I did not gain weight at all which was a big concern.  I did feel quite lethargic at first and it took a while to get any sex drive back.  I am still not back to my usual sex drive, and reaching orgasm is harder. I still feel my decision to stay on Effexor has been the right one. Hope this helps.  Good luck."


"clonidine is amazing !!! makes ya tired as hell but would rather feel tired than sick as hell...  a true life saver I have no cravings with just a bit stomach cramps and lost my appetite but again would rather feel like I have gas than go through withdrawals"


"I've been on birth control for 10 years and had to switch to a progestin version due to high blood pressure.. I had NO problems with my previous birth control, however with Camila I have not stopped spotting since I started it a month and a half ago. I've had headaches almost every day, and hormonal acne has increased (chin and forehead) also my hair has been falling out in clumps! I've never heard of this before and I'm so frustrated. You have to take it at the same time every day too. I'm stopping it today."


"Prozac saved me."


"I started this pill a month ago and have now just started my second strip. I started this pill as I started to get a few spots on my t zone and cheeks and wanted to have clear skin. I visited my doctor and she gave me the yasmin pill, biggest mistake of my life. I have severe acne in all areas of the face, very red and dry including many black and white heads. I seem to have noticed that in my 7 day break that my acne went down quite abit so I have decided to stop this pill. Worst experience ever"


"I have a lot of bacteria going on in my system all the time and the UTI's are constant and horrendous. Like others have stated I just can't be on antibiotics all the time so have been trying other things . D-mannose powder is wonderful but It's quite expensive and when I'm really bad doesn't always work . Just discovered the Hiprex tablets over the counter here in Australia at the Chemist. I looked it up on the net for information and how it works and didn't feel really comfortable about the substance turning to formaldehyde   in the gut "


"DO NOT BUY. This is so so awful I inserted this devil egg about an hour ago and this pain is a million times worst than the YI. I tried to get as much out in the shower as I could and it feels a bit better now but I'm still swollen and burning down there. NOT WORTH IT. This is a horrible product."


"This drug has helped me a lot to improve my grades in school, very much recommended for people with ADHD."


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


"Mononessa has prevented me from getting pregnant (even when I missed a pill), but not without side effects. I have been taking it for 2 years and have gained 15 pounds and constantly look bloated. I have vaginal discharge from it and experience vaginal dryness constantly. I don't have cravings from it but sometimes I have depressive mood swings. On the upside, my period went from being so painful I couldn't function to pretty light and barely any cramps."


"Just had my second one put in. I love it. No adverse reactions outside of spotting for the first three months with the first one and I've had no issues with implant/extraction procedures. I had poly cystic ovarian syndrome, married with no plans for kids yet, and I overproduce estrogen. It's perfect for me. I have chronic migraine and my hormonal triggers are gone (too bad the other ones still exist)."


"I've been using Plavix for a couple years now since I had 2 angioplasties.

It work just fine. However some of the drawbacks are:
- easy bruising, and long recover time
- easy bleeding from injuries, so don't take chances
- My Doctor told me I'd have to take Plavix for the rest of my life
- cost is no concern since my insurance pays all but $9.00
  per month"


"I was given this medication at a low dose because I am in end stage copd.  I have been experiencing auditory hallucinations and also very strange dreams and was not told about this by my doctor or pharmacist. I looked at the information given to me by the pharmacist and these adverse reactions were buried  in little print at the very bottom.  I feel that these side effects should be known right away.  I thought I was losing my mind.  I am going to stop taking this drug and if anyone asks me about it I will tell them to be very careful."


"Been taking Losartan for approximately 6 weeks. Does not control blood pressure. Body is not adapting to it to lower blood pressure. Will have to try a different medication."


"Wonderful medicine, and works 100 percent, cough is suppressed."


"This medicine stopped the pain of two severe colon fistulas (fissures?) in about three days.  I'm very glad to have had it prescribed, and to my knowledge, no side effects."


"The medicine works but the procedure is intravenous through a PICC line. And the side effects of headaches and stomach cramps because of diarrhea is really bad."


"I feel odd on Belsomra.  I am very active and work out every day.  But my muscles now ache and it burns to keep my eyes open.  I am finally getting sleep, so that is positive.  But I feel like something is amiss.   I don't feel as if I need to actually take a nap during the day, but I feel like I am in a giant fog.  If that makes sense."


"Low back pain radiating down legs and shoulder pain.  I have been in severe pain since injuring my back in 2007. I worked in construction and have injured my lower back several times. MRI revealed bulging disc from L1 to L5 and shoulder pain is from years of heavy work. I have been going to pain clinics since 2008 and although I take pain medication it does little to relieve the pain. My PCP prescribed Prednisone tablets for 20 days along with a shot to start with. Within three days my pain had decreased and within a week I was almost pain free. For the first time in years I spent a week without pain medicine. I took the last of the prednisone last week and the pain in my lower back and shoulder returned yesterday and by this morning I am using a walker again."


"Exacerbated acid reflux and stomach pain but definitely reduced frequency."


"Only recently has the makers of Topamax been disclosing the potential risks of Acidosis, Renal Tubular Acidosis and bone disease. After being on this drug for 6 years or so, I developed kidney stones (another side effect) on five different occasions. My urine citrate levels dipped to 18. 550 and higher is normal. I had become so ill, I was close to renal failure. Calium and vitamine D levels were dangerously low. My bones developed osteomalasia, or softening of the bones. "


"Just got Skyla yesterday. Didn't feel anything during insertion. I actually asked the Dr if that was really it when she said she was done. Went and got lunch after and started to cramp about an hour insertion. The cramps have been like strong period cramps since then. Just a little spotting afterwards but nothing today. As long as the cramping dies down after a couple of days, I think I will be in love with this form of birth control."


"I use the PanOxyl foam, and its worked wonders.  I have tried many other products on TV, or from the dermatologist.  The past 2 1/2 years I used a topical product from the dermatologist, but my acne was just becoming "immune" to it.  The 10% benzyol peroxide in Panoxyl really helped to clear up my stubborn acne.  My chest, neck, and back were the worse places, and I saw results after the first night. Within 2 days, those areas were completely cleared up. Panoxyl does dry out my face some, but it can be easily fixed with some lotion.  When I apply it at night, it's not sticky and it doesn't leave behind any oil. I had problems with those big welt-like pimples, but I have not had a single one since I started using this product!"


"I was diagnosed with ADD at 21, as a junior in college. Before Adderall, I was an average student. I had a short attention span and difficulty efficiently completing tasks. The first time I took it, I read long passages and retained all the information. I actually follow my professors in-class. I didn't dread studying anymore; I actually kind of enjoyed it! I couldn't believe it. Within 2 semesters, my GPA has gone from a 3.1 to a 3.5.
There are only a few downsides that come to mind. First, I have trouble falling asleep at night. Next, I get irritated when studying/tasks are interrupted. Also, coming off of it, I feel extremely tired for at least 3 or 4 days."


"I have struggled with depression since I was a teenager and always assumed it would go away on its own. After someone close to me passed, I hit rock bottom. I was depressed, anxious, couldn't sleep, etc. Talked to my doctor and he prescribed this for my depression and anxiety. Besides making me apathetic I have been surprisingly happy. This pill is amazing, I have not been this genuinely happy in a long time."


"I'm a first time user for birth control and with everything I've heard I was so frightened. I begun Lutera 3 weeks ago and I've had no side effects, yay! I was really worried about all that was described would be side effects. My period was supposed to be coming around this week however it hasn't. But I've read birth control can make you miss your period. And I'm fine with that. Great experience so far!"


"Several years ago I was thrown from a car and hit by a car and have had problems ever since and had xrays and "Congrates your back isn't broken" but I don't know what it is. For 6 years, everyday I would have to lay in the tub and the shower hit my back or lay on a heating pad and even at night just to fall asleep I use sleep aids and constant showers or heating pads to get the muscles to stop hurting and spasms and then I couldn't take it anymore. The muscle relaxers wouldn't work and my back and neck were burning and stiff and spasms all day and night and I couldn't sleep and went desperately to a my new doctor that I was seeing and got his associate. He saw me and recognized the fibromyalgia and placed me on Lyrica. I'm a true 26 year old again."


"I was on yasmin for about 3 years, it completely cleared up my skin. However I was concerned about the blood clotting issue so I changed to first dianne and then to zooley. Both were terrible, I broke out in places I never had before.

I'm back on yasmin now, I can't wait till I have beautiful skin again !"


"I suffer with PCOS which is one main cause of my weight gain. I am a terrible 16 stone 1 but throughout all the exercise and diet I'm doing. My weight has just stabilized and I'm lucky if I can loose 1 pound in 3 months. My doctor has recommended orlistat so I will be going back on Tuesday to collect it. I have heard good results about it so I'm hoping this will be for me because its my last resort, apart from a gastric bypass (I don't want surgery). I will keep you updated. Fingers crossed."


"I've been using Yaz for about 6 months now. Here's what I have experienced. I do have headaches. My sex drive has increased, believe it or not. My skin is clear. Also before taking Yaz. I wouldn't have my period for 3 months, then when I did have it, it was unbearable. Now, my monthly cycles are very light, but the cramping is still the same. I believe Yaz has helped me tremendously."


"I suffer from annular tear along with unbearable pain . Relafen relieves the break through pain. Relafen works really well."


"So after several failed attempts over 2 months to heal my BV naturally, I broke down and started the Flagyl. 1st pill, loud ringing in ear, Interesting. Slight queasy feeling, rarely. 3rd day in, cannot sleep! I would say it does cause some insomnia. Weird taste in mouth. Weird body odor. Yes it is coming out of my pores. But this is nothing too major. I can deal.
Almost RIGHT AWAY, 1 day in, noticed an improvement in symptoms. Was having burning, and inflammation in the vagina, weird smell, and a weird discharge, thin and greyish. These symptoms improved fast after taking the medicine. I do have slight headaches at times. Dark urine. Drinking water! Taking yogurt, ginger tea, yeast remedy and probiotics. I hope I can finish the rest."


"Hard to get down taste wise.  This "colon blow" didn't take long to kick in and it's been non stop  for 4 hours now with another 4 hours until 2nd dose.  Cramping, bloating, chills, barely keeping my eyes open and oh my poor ass.  Seems to negatively interact with every substance on the planet so I wonder how that's going to work out.  I have no doubt that my colon will be thoroughly flushed, which is the point of the medication."


"Colcrys works for Gout flares. Allopurinol barely gets half of Gout patients' uric acid down to where they stop having flares. Use Uloric 40mg to lower your Uric acid further than allopurinol could so you DONT have flares anymore because there will be less Uric acid in the body and therefore it won't be stuck in your joints hurting you. It's free each month if your Dr writes 90-days and you use the Uloric copay savings card "


"I used Claravis for 5 months and the results were amazing at first. However, I have been off Claravis for 2 months now and I'm getting stubborn cyst pimples and whiteheads again. I don't know what to do because I thought this was a "last resort" medication. I am going back to my dermatologist."


"I use Wellbutrin XL 300mg.  I am using it now for over 2 years early in the mornings. I also use Molipaxin 200mg in the evening.  I was very sick. I had ECT for a couple of times.  My Doctor prescribed Molipaxin after a long struggle with too much side effects of other anti-depressants.  I used a lot of other anti-depressants over the years.  I am using Molipaxin now for almost 4 years with almost no side-affects. I struggled with tiredness all the time and was described Wellbutrin in combination with Molipaxin. I can't tell you how it changed my life. It felt like I was alive and vibrant again. I had 2 bad panic attacks over the last two years. Before it used to happen almost everyday. I stopped all the Urbanol and Sleeping tablets."


"I've been disabled for 3 years I am on pain medication.  I don't really eat more then one meal a day Dr was aware of my medication and had Barium CT prior so it showed some stool which I guess is normal he didn't seem concerned when ordering the endo/colonoscopy suprep . I had to have fluids the day of starting the prep I even started an hour early taste almost wanted to vomit , I used candy, juice you name it ...about 45 mins in it started.  I'm doing the endoscopy for my pain in abdomen but figured with family history would do colonoscopy. 4 hrs later second dose was even harder to get down was going all night.  Still was unable to do the colonoscopy now I'm home with constant diarrhea. Never again . The thought of that drink makes me gag"


"I have had it since March 2012, It did not hurt when I had it put in. I have noticed that I have alot of mood swings and I have gained over 25 lbs since I had it put it. I still eat the way that I always have and I cant understand why. I talked to a different Medical Dr, and they said that was one of the side effects of the Mirena. If my DR. had of told me this I would of never had it done.. It has controlled my bleeding alot but  I still spot alot through the month."


"So I wanted to write this all out in hopes that it might help someone who was in the same boat as me facing the colonoscopy prep: filled with pure anxiety and fear! In the past, I tried only the GoLYTELY, enemas or dulcolax— all of which made me extremely sick. Based on my previous colonoscopy experiences I was so incredibly frightened that I would be in pain, writhing on the ground, nauseous and weak, feeling like I was going to throw up for hours on end. All those fun things. I think I most definitely had PTSD from my past. I scoured the internet recently looking for any tips from people and I gathered all of them into notes for me to follow the day of prep. I AM SO GLAD I DID. I can now say that I am no longer fearful of the prep and believe me that’s very hard to believe I’m saying that. Here’s my experience, I have no idea if it will work with every single person reading this, but I hope that it will provide some comfort. My doctor decided to give me SUPREP this time because there is less quantity that needs to be consumed. The few days leading up to the prep I ate a somewhat low fiber diet. On the day of the prep, I had a light breakfast-eggs and white toast and tea. Then throughout the day, I had chicken broth and Jello—just to keep my food intake up so I wouldn’t feel like I had such an empty stomach. Then an hour and a half before the first dose of the SUprep, I took prescribed medications Zofran to prevent nausea and Ativan to help with anxiety. Then at the scheduled time, I drank the first dose of the SUPREP. I made sure it was chilled in the fridge (which it has to be cold) and I had a straw to sip it, which helps. Now here’s where the important part came in. This stuff does not TASTE GOOD. I am not going to sugar coat the way it tastes. However, I equipped myself with lemon slices and gatorade and every time I took 3 sips of the prep, I quickly put a lemon slice in my mouth or took a sip of gatorade and swished it around my mouth. This helped with getting the taste out of the mouth. I have no idea what I would have done without those lemon slices. This actually was the most important tip of all. Then I drank my water and applied Desitin on my bum. This was the second important tip. This prevents the pain and soreness from all the wiping and BM’s. In the past using enemas or dulcolax, the BM’s hurt so bad and were so explosive, but these were not—they were warm and fairly gentle coming out most of the time. I had good BM’s for quite a few hours and then was even able to watch a few movies on my computer! Then I slept for a few hours and did the exact same routine again with the second dose, not forgetting to take the nausea and anxiety medication before drinking. This was a completely different experience than last time and I am so thankful I found these tips. I hope this helps someone out."


"I have had this in for a little over a year and I hate it I have gained at least 20 lbs my hubs is always telling me that my mood had chances and I almost never want sex anymore. I don't feel myself ever. I'm getting it taken out as I type this. I always tell my friends I have it and I let them know that as of now it has done its job in holding off babies but other than that it sucks. Ps according to my dr weight gain isn't a side effect I'm calling bs because everyone I know that has tried it says otherwise."


"I had my 3rd child last yr and wanted effective contraception i didn't have to think about. I thought it was so great I recommended it to my sisters. I was very concerned about putting on weight after my third child so definitely asked my doctor if it was a concern my mirena, and she definitely said the  risk was minimal. One year on, and i have put on at least 13 kilos after my pregnancy!!!! I also feel quite depressed and emotional. After checking in with my two sisters who had also got miren we realised wed All gained weight since getting the iud. Not happy!"


"Been taking it for 2-3 weeks and Xiidra is working wonderfully. Unlike what some people say, there is plenty of fluid inside one vial for 2 drops in each eye. The bitter taste is not really bad, and the blurriness just lasts for a couple of minutes or so. I have not had red, itchy eyes for most of the day, when I just take OTC eye drops once or twice. I am very happy about the $10 per month payment because I would not be able to afford it otherwise."


"My doctor suggested I go on this so that I could help dissolve my ovarian cysts, help my excruciating periods and of course for pregnancy prevention. Other pills had horrible side effects with my mood, and made me feel worse than ever, but since I've been on Heather (about 6 weeks) I feel great.. no bad moods, my skin has always been bad, so no changes there, my breasts have grown for sure, I'm just starting to spot and cramp mildly, but if that's going to replace my normal excruciating period, than I'm perfectly fine with that. My job is very physically and mentally demanding, and it hasn't affected it, accept maybe my breast tenderness. But I would definitely suggest this."


"I'm on day 3 and have had horrible cramps, sweating, nausea and diarrhea after every dose. Within 1 to 3 hrs after taking the pill I feel sick until it all comes out! But if it helps me go more than 1 x every 10-14 days, I'll take these symptoms over that. But agree, stay close to the potty."


"So far I have had none of the side effects they warn you about. Pain and swelling is reduced. The only downside is that is could take up to 16 weeks to receive the full benefits. Wish it worked quicker."


"I was diagnosed with MS about 3 months ago. My MS is mild so I could try weaker drugs which are usually injections (every other day). But I hate needles so my doctor prescribed tecfidera for me. It has been really good for me so far with almost no side effects. "


"I have been in this mini pill about 2 months now. I must say it has really been a challenge for me. So week one I waited until my period was over to start the pack. 2 days later I started my period all over again. Which I was told. It's called breakthrough bleeding. So that went on for 3 more days. Started week 2 of my pack on Tuesday. I started all over again. 3 days bleeding. 3rd week same thing Famous Tuesday same thing. But I kept on taking the pill I was told my body has to get used to it. 4th week to my surprise no show Tuesday of that week. I was excited. Started the new pack .And Famous Tuesday all over again. This time I guess this was my regular period. And I have been on my period for over a week maybe I need something else."


"I switched from Seroquel to latuda 5 days ago, INSTANT IMPROVEMENT! My sweet cravings are gone, I can exercise again, I don't feel like a slug at work. I Have only one complaint. The nausea is pretty bad, I've almost thrown up a couple of times, but right now, the pros outweigh the cons, hopefully the nausea will subside after a while. Ill update in a month"


"This medicine helped my neuropathic pain, but gave me neck and shoulder pain I couldn't talk without straining to find the words I walked around like I was drunk. I'm off and back to me again"


"Works well if you want it to work! You must still have the will to stay sober! Drank once since starting the medicines. All my fault set myself up for it."


"Have been on Xiidra for 5 weeks and it has not worked for me. The first 4 days were tough with moderate burning ( not as bad as Restasis) and eyes were blurry for approximately 20 min. These side effects decreased with time, but there was no improvement in my eyes. I feel like this is very similar to my experience with Restasis ....I wasted a lot of time and money on something that was totally ineffective."


Influenza virus vaccine, live, trivalent

"I've taking Flumist every year for about six years. I've never really had any problems with it, except a runny nose the day after. I'd definitely recommend it."


"I am a 31 yr old female. .. 193lbs 5'8" ....and have been on this for 3 days now adipex... and I am down 4 pounds as of yesterday I haven't weighed myself today, but 2 pounds for each day I've been on it so far so that's awesome! I hope to get back down to my happy weight around 145."


"Taking Remeron at night and Effexor in the morning helped me a lot.  Before I started it, it took me 2-4 hours to fall asleep every night, which left me with six hours of sleep at most.  Now I'm able to fall asleep easily and sleep through the night.  I never had any trouble with the side effects so it worked out well for me."


"I suffer from severe depression and anxiety, this actually curbed it for me. Instead of being depressed everyday, it cut it down to a week. It balanced out my periods. But,  on the down side they were heavy for the first few days with strong fatigue and cramps. I had spotting the first month. My emotions were great the first 9 months. Once that Mark hit I started to spiral. I was over emotional and cryings over just about anything. My feelings were so amped up. I stopped taking it and I felt normal a few days later. I stopped and started a new one which honestly made me feel absolutely nothing. I felt like a sociopath. I'm back on it, hoping for good to decent results. Just remember, every one is different. Try it for a few months."


"I've been taking nortriptyline for almost two years. It has proven extremely effective in reducing my migraines. I now get a migraine perhaps five or six times a year compared with one a week previously. It did cause dry mouth at first, though that has abated. And my mood is much improved, possibly because I have fewer headaches and possibly because of the drug's antidepressive effects. The main problem is weight gain. I feel hungry almost all the time. That said, I'm not ready to return to pre-nortriptyline days and, instead, will work on diet and exercise."


"I've had depression and anxiety with panics since 2013 and been through many medications that didn't work and finally I get Wellbutrin 150mg lexapro 20 mg and it's amazing I feel back to myself years ago!!! Here it is 2016 when I get the right deal."


"I decided to read the reviews for Mirena after I got it.  Wow am I ever glad I waited!  Reviews that stated spotting for months, and painful intercourse, would have been enough to put me off for sure.

However, I've had a fantastic experience with Mirena so far.  Spotted for 1.5 days (not months - DAYS) with only mild cramping.  Intercourse after 3 days, and it was as enjoyable, if not more so than before.

As I understand, it's better to have had children before using Mirena.  I can see why - insertion would likely have been more painful had I not had 1 child.

High recommendations, but of course, your doctor will know if Mirena is your best choice.  Right down to the tilt of your uterus - there are many factors to take into consideration."


"This medication caused me severe nausea and vomiting."


"I have had recurrent depression for over 35 years, tried loads of different antidepressants over that time. Never fully recovered from last bout 2 years ago, and became sensitive to four different drugs since then.
At last saw a consultant psychiatrist who prescribed Mirtazapine on top of the 60mg duloxetine I was already on. In 2 days I feel better than I have for several years, so much energy and return of old concentration skills. I am on 15mg, then will up to 30mg in 2 weeks, and 45mg if need be.
Yes, I am very sleepy, and yes the dreams are mind blowing if the only downside is I gain weight I can live with that. I would rather have my brain back functioning as it ought to and enjoy my life. For me, this has been a miracle so far!"


"I was on Effexor ER for 4 years with excellent results. When Effexor went generic, this is the medicine I was prescribed. I've been on this version for 1 month, and I'm very unhappy with response. I have high levels of stress and irritability, to the point that I need to avoid interaction with people for fear I'll say something I shouldn't at the smallest provocation. I don't like myself on this drug!"


"This was the miracle BC for me. I tried everything on the market and due to me being skinny the other doses were just too high. I had NO side effects of this pill, I was put on it to help with migraines and ovarian cysts. It didn't the first year so my Dr put me on a 3 month dosage. ( I don't get my period for 3 months) and for 4 years its been working fantastic. No issues. Barely get my period. No side effects either. Maybe a little bit of crampyness but not nearly as bad as a normal one."


"levels the pain out but creates severe fatigue - still have to use tramadol but in lower doses."


"I started this on Thursday December 12th on 0.6. I am supposed to see how it goes for a week and than increase the dosage to 1.2. The doctor warned me of suppressed appetite and stomach pain/cramps. I feel both but the stomach pain is odd. It's more like I feel like my stomach has been filled with something and is trying to burst out. It is temporary discomfort though. I am set to increase the dosage on 12/19. I am also on Glumetza two 1000mg tablets a day and 1 Glimeride a day. Just from the first day of taking it my numbers went from nearly 400 to 182. I am hoping it gets lower as I'm totally cutting out carbs. I do take cinnamon pills and drink a shot of Nopal juice in addition."


"Around month two on trinessa I developed a few hives on my stomach but didn't connect it to the drug until month three or four when the rash had completely overtaken my stomach and sides. I stopped taking this medication and the rash cleared up in about two weeks and hasn't returned. Very weird."


Citric acid / simethicone / sodium bicarbonate

"Very quick, very fast. Great if you are stuck in a tight situation and you are getting breezy."


"The doctor put me on this medicine a couple of weeks ago. They seem to help with my muscle tightness in my back, but makes me very sleepy so I can't really take during the day. I take it about 30 mins to a hr before bed and sleep good, but they give me very disturbing, scary dreams. I thought maybe it was from the other medicines I take, but apparently I'm not the only one who has bad dreams when taken."


"I've been on the Camrese three month birth control for a total of 6 months now. The first three month pack did not go too well, which is why I gave it an eight for a rating. After the first month, I spotted heavy enough to ruin underwear, but not enough to use a pad/tampon, up until month three when it was time for my actual period. I would have specific periods of sadness as well, but no weight gain. But, I decided to see if it got any better. IT DID! My second three month pack, I did not have any spotting, and there is no weight gain with me, or mood swings that I have noticed. I have fallen in love with this birth control."


"I was prescribed Paxil for anxiety & depression when I was 13. Initially, it did all it was promised with few side affects. Over the years it seemed to lose it's effectiveness, but I was afraid to come off it for fear I would be worse off. Finally started the process of weaning myself off it when multiple reports came out saying it was DANGEROUS and had multiple long term effects on teenagers. I had been taking it for nearly a decade. The withdrawals were the worst thing I have experienced in my life. Thought I was dying. My face and limbs didn't feel real. The "zaps". I was nonfunctional, and this lasted months. Please use extreme caution and have someone closely monitor you when you decide to wean off this medication."

"My husband took this "medicine" for about  3 weeks before his stomach began. He started having chills and fever, sometimes as high as 104.5, every night. We thought he had the flu, so doctor gave him Tamiflu. After 6 days on Tamiflu, still no relief. He continued with fever, chills, and just feeling lousy for another 10 days before he ended up in emergency room. We started reading reviews of Limbrel on Google, and realized what was causing his symptoms. He will NEVER take this medicine again. His rheumatologist never mentioned this as a possible symptom, and the circular that came with this pseudo-drug did not mention it either. Beware, beware, beware!!! Seems it works for about 4 out of 5 people, but is devastating for 20% of people."


"I have extreme to severe chronic pain, level 8 to 9 due to multiple disc issues and a 2nd knee that needs replacing. Having been on MS Contin for years I built up such a tolerance that it did nothing for the pain so I stopped taking it. Last fall my pain specialist had me try Subsys. Good news, it was the 1st time in years I actually had some relief from the chronic pain. Bad news, good old Hussain Obama Care changed some of the insurance company rules beginning 1Jan2015 meaning unless I had a cancer diagnosis they would deny coverage as “off label”. After three months of relief followed by six months with zero relief life is almost unbearable as I am unable to function day to day."


"I have been taking these pills for 90 days now and have not stopped smoking or even slow down at all. I don't understand how everyone can be on the same milligram. Not sure if I should continue with this program still smoking two two or  two and a half packs a day. Has anyone else went through this then had some success."


"I am 72 yrs old and told by my doctor if I did not quit, I would spend the rest of my days stuck with an o2.  I started on Chantix 4 days ago.  My reason for taking this drug is to avoid any increase in my COPD.  I always enjoyed cigerettes especially with that cup of coffee in the am. and social drinking.  When I woke the am, I had no desire to smoke.  Lasted about 2 houurs, but did not have the same satisfaction.  I have a feeling I will be smoke free very soon.  I do feel some nausea but resolved problem by taking zofran."


"While on this pill I had a very positive experience. My cysts were gone and the pain was under control. No nausea, my acne cleared up completely and my breast grew 1 whole cup size! (a bonus for me) My periods were lighter and I had no cramping. Previous to this pill I tried 4 other brands that make me feel completely sick and unable to do anything. I've been off bc for about 3 years now and I am probably going to get back on. My periods have been irregular with very bad cramping! Surely giving Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo another shot%u263A"


"Helped my life entirely. I'm a more productive and clinical learner now. Didn't realize how bad I wasn't able to stay focused until I took this and noticed the difference. Sleep and eat fine on it. After the first week that is. But the lack of appetite restlessness wasn't even that bad even then."


"Very good.  I solved my problem.  I take it once every 3 days without any issues."


"I was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder 10 years ago (recently found out it is actually PTSD/c-PTSD) and I was started on 1200mg of serquel. I was a zombie!  I didn't want to do anything but sleep. I was so tired all day. One day after taking my medication and then sleeping 10 hours, I then got in my car and was driving somewhere and feel asleep at the wheel. I total my car but luckily I wasn't hurt and no one else was involved. I lost my job. The "best" part though was the 110 pound weight gain I had in less then a year of taking this poison.  I've been off of the crap for about 3 years now but still can't drop the weight it caused me to gain.  Please be careful if considering taking this drug it almost ruined my life."


"I loved the ease of not having to take a pill but had to take it out not even 24 hours later. I experienced extreme crying spells, sudden onset of an extremely depressed feeling, and extremely tired."


"I recieved my second injection of Euflexxa today. After the first one no relief the doctor said alot of people don't feel relief after the first one but after the second maybe. He said that a month after the third injection if no relief then it did not take. The medication has a 50-50 chance. If this doesn't take then I am looking at a knee replacement. So we will see."


"Hated it!!! I was taking adderall for a year and it started making me feel anxious maybe one day a week. I was switched to this and once I started it my anxiety got really bad. I've never had a problem with anxiety and I really feel for the people that suffer from chronic anxiety! I also had a problem with dropping blood pressure (could be from adderall withdraw tho) I also had HORRIBLE mood swings. As soon as I would take it I was very negative about everything. I'm so glad to be off it now and so is my boyfriend!!"


"For all of you trying this implant be very careful. My daughter got this in, in 2012, in May 2015 she had it removed. After she got it in she gained almost 65 pounds she was 115lb. At almost the 3 year mark she started having really bad anxiety, panic attacks, mood swings, depression. Once removed it got worse, in and out the hospital  for the last month with all the symptoms above as well as suicidal tendency's. This implant has been banned in Canada because of this. My daughter was the happiest most out going person and now can not get out of bed, bad mood swings, anxiety, panic attacks are overwhelming, can't eat has lost about 25 pounds in a week can't sleep and suicide. Once removed it is in your tissue for 3-6 months at implant site."


"I have taken Yasmin for 4 months. 1st month had increased acne, headaches, nausea, tender breasts and slight irritability. Half way through 2nd month skin started to improve and side effects stopped. My period came on 2nd day of taking white placebo pill. Usually the week before my period I have painful cramps and have to take pain killers, this time there was no bloating or cramps and pain. On the 3rd month and my skin is starting to heal and look a lot clearer, periods are normal and pain free.  Only mild discomfit half an hour before my period starts. Yasmin will make your skin breakout when you first start taking it, but it will start to improve. After I wash my makeup off I can't believe how clear my skin is."


"I was suffering bad migraines for 6 days until I came across this medicine which works wonders"


"Id write more except I cant focus for long. Citalopram made me suicidal, hate that drug with a passion.
Doctor gave me this, its yet to help with my anxiety or panic attacks (2 weeks in 30mg).
Side effects are not great:
The most horrific and graphic nightmares I've ever had in my life which make me wake up in tears. The problem here is that this drug makes me sleep for 10  hours so theres no escaping these dreams, then when I wake up i just have these disturbing images in my head all day which makes my anxiety worse.
 my anger is unreal and not an aggressive person in general.
Another thing is I cannot sit still, i have to be moving all the time from the second I wake up. Concentration is non existent..."


"I've had mine over a year now , I was skeptical about it and scared of the side effects but let me tell you this stuff IS SUPER EFFECTIVE !!!  I did have a few side effects that I did not enjoy at first but after a few months my body got used  to it and now I barely get my period and if I do I just spot for like a week . But honestly I been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend ever since I got on the nexplanon and nothing :) I'm very happy with it I don't have to worry about anything. I honestly can say it has done its job"


"This is the third week of the blue pills and I've started my period. Keeping in mind that I had the same problem with Apri, I went along with it. I was not prepared for the killer cramps, migraines, nausea, throwing up, loss of appetite, extreme mood swings. I feel unmotivated and am having suicidal/negative thoughts."


"I love it. This is my first time using birth control and it does its job. My boyfriend and I had an unplanned pregnancy after I lost it I decided birth control was a good option. I'm 25 and I still get my cycle and I gained a little weight not too much."


"I used amlodipine for 6 months during which I developed “football feet”, swollen ankles, lower legs. Since onset was gradual, I did not realise how much oedema I had accrued. I stopped taking amlodipine - swelling in my lower limbs were rapidly back to almost normal, almost because of 3 varicosities on my left ankle, for which I now must use an ankle brace. I told my doctor that I had quit because I was unhappy, and he said that he was very happy and that I needed help for moderately high blood pressure. I then suggested that HE try amlodipine. He once had me use ezetrol , and I stupidly continued for almost a year before realising I had become severely affected. I now give new meds a trial period and tell the doc if I am not amused."


"I put the drops in my eye and it burned the red parts of my eye every time I put it in my eye. Its also really hard to see its impossible to watch TV or anything."


"I've been on generic Wellbutrin xl 300 for 12 years . I was trying to quit smoking & this was recommended as it was also being marketed as Zyban at the time. For me, it helped with cravings and depression and I've never picked up another cigarette.  There are 2 things that bother me.  I cannot sleep without also taking Trazodone. I just drift in and out of a light sleep otherwise. The other thing that may or may not be related to WB is that I have chronic constipation.  I say may or may not because I'm scared to get off of WB to see if that's what's causing it.  Different drugs work differently on different people of course but, like another person suggested, it also kept me from gaining weight until menopause. Hope this helps."


"I had extreme pain during intercourse and also experienced severe atrophy.  The Estring provided a miracle solution.  I have had no side effects, except a little weight gain. My vagina seems to be more lubricated and intercourse is no longer painful.  I am wondering if it is okay to go in a hot tub and take hot baths with it.  I have not found the answer to this question anywhere."


"I was prescribed this drug for performance anxiety and I have been extremely pleased. I take it an hour before a presentation or important meeting and it completely helps me function and perform normally. I’m still nervous, but it’s not debilitating and the symptoms like rapid heart beat, shaky voice, shaky hands, and flushed face are GONE.

The doctor that prescribed this made a great point, he said “this won’t take away all of your nerves but you never want to lose that completely anyway. A healthy level of nervousness keeps you sharp, and the day you lose all nerve, it’s over.”"


"I initially went on it for depression. It worked great. But years had passed and everyday was the same I was never moving forward. I was forgetting a lot of things. I'm in my 30s I felt as if I was in my 70s when it came to memory. The ability to converse normally decreased over time. I would forget at-least 2 words every few sentences and I would forget obligations and functions. When I went off of it my room was clean for the 1st time my car was clean for the 1st time and for the 1st time I wasn't craving stimulants. I feel alive again.... 3 months off Latuda"


"The pill form is poison, avoid it if you can, seriously. Stiff muscles, fidgety random body parts, weird dreams and grogginess after sleeping longer than you want. Avoid it."


"I went on the patch after my 3rd child. Within a week after using it I gained 10 pounds. I have been on it for 2 years now and have gained around 30 pounds. My libido is down to nothing. The only good thing I can say about the patch is it has regulated my periods and they only last 3-4 days at a time."


"I have taken Lamictal for 12 years. I was taking 150mgs, now 75mg daily. I have not been manic the entire 12 years, and that is what I wanted to prevent. I still feel sad and scared sometimes but not manic. I am an introvert and like to have a lot of alone time to read, work on the computer, etc. so it's not going to make you an extrovert if you really aren't one. I  have medical insurance that helps pay for the brand name, since the generic doesn't work for me. I ended up in the hospital on the generic. I will never stop taking Lamictal, because I don't ever want to not be in control of myself."


"I've been drinking for most my life. I was letting beer control my life. I went to the ER just before Thanksgiving. My level was 3 times the legal amount. I went to detox the next day. I've been taking Campral ever since. I relapsed last week when I ran out of it. I'm back to taking it. I believe it is helping my craving. I really wanted a beer today though. However, I was able to get past the urge and not stop for one. I would have never been able to do that if I wasn't taking Campral. I'm surprised at the result. I wonder why it's not advertised. They should promote it at AA meetings."


"I was given this medicine to take for fatigue and it only slowed me down, got dry mouth, and a bit of confusion. I will stop this and contact the doctor."


"I used Intal for 25 years to control my asthma and it worked wonderfully.  I never had problems.  Since it has been discontinued, I am on Symbicort and Singulair and my health is unstable.  I seem to suffer from every side effect of Symbicort.  I wish someone would start making Intal again."


"Unbearable muscle pain, both wrist, both arms shoulders, right side, numbness in feet.  I missed 1 dose and had no pain that's what brought me to this site to read the side effects."


"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?"
