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

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

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


"This works wonders for me, but makes me a little nutty for awhile. Better than migraines by a long shot. They try and make it taste minty, but still a little foul tasting."


"Felt compelled to weigh in on the insertion issue. Everybody is different, of course, but I had read many forums in which woman after woman called the insertion excruciating, agonizing, or the worst pain they've ever felt. I am small-build (5'0), never had children. It was really not that bad. Three rather severe cramps - but nothing worse than I have had with a particularly bad period. I had no local anesthetic and I took 800mg ibuprofen one hour beforehand. It was inserted less than an hour ago and I am back at work and feeling fine. I think one thing that may make a difference is the experience of the nurse practitioner or doctor performing the procedure. The more experienced, the faster. Mine took less than three minutes total. Not bad."


"I have used this medicine for a number of years for allergy and hay fever (dust, mold, pollen, etc) and find it is quite effective for mild to moderate hay fever symptoms with no noticeable side effects. For a long acting OTC remedy its relatively cheap, too, around $15 for 100 1.34mg tab doses and I take 1-2 tabs/day."


"I previously used MaxAir (perbuterol) for over 30 years, which works noticeably better than this stuff.  I get a paradoxial spasm from albuterol, can't take it.  But the Einsteins here decided to discontinue perbuterol because not enough people use it, to justify making it!  Someone at FDA even told me to take albuterol anyway!  This stuff is better than nothing.  If you can't take albuterol for whatever reason, this is the only rescue replacement."


"Celexa has changed my life. The first couple days I was yawning uncontrollably which is a rare side effect. After that I started to feel like a robot almost. I just did things, I didn't think too much about anything. I guess maybe that's why it helps with depression. But not only does it suppress the bad thoughts. It also suppresses the positive and creative thoughts."


"My first month on Yaz, and I must say I've noticed two changes. On the plus side, period is much lighter and I'm not suffering from the debilitating exhaustion I had for years during each period. However, I'm getting panicky and got palpitations."


"I was practically bedridden when I finally got diagnosed with fibromyalgia.  After prescribing all the usual medications, with no relief, Lyrica was added and gradually increased to my current level of 400mg/daily.

I was able to break the bed to sofa to bed routine and start moderate exercise.  While I am nowhere near my former physical self, the level of relief is remarkable.

I had some problems getting Lyrica because it was so expensive and I really suffered while I didn't have it.  Currently I am getting my prescription through the VA but we are moving and a new VA doctor may not be willing to jump through all the hoops necessary for me.  I know my current doctor had to fight for me."


"This medicine has changed the quality of my life, and those who are in my life. It has been greatly enhanced by my usage of this medicine. I wish everyone who suffered mentally could use this medicine as a magic pill, but I know that's not possible. I was on so many different medicines before my doctor put me on this - misdiagnosis on his part - and I'm so glad that this medicine exists for us bi-polar folks."


"Many many sinus infections over the years.  This knocks it out in 3 days compared to 10."


"Have taken this medicine for over 3 years, I was previously on Pristiq. To start with at 60mg this medication worked for me pretty well for a year or so. Once I became pregnant they reduced my dose ( just to be safe) bad idea, I had a massive panic attack and feel very hopeless. They upped my dose to 60mg again which didn't seem so help so after having my boy they increased to 120mg which worked for about 3 weeks then it was as if I was taking nothing. Figure my body has just become immune. Also bad withdrawal symptoms when you miss a dose. Very dizzy, nauseous, sleepy not a nice experience unfortunately. But please remember this is just my experience with this medication not yours it could be completely different.."


"I was reluctant to begin fluoxetine because I'd had a terrible experience when my GP started me on 50mg of sertraline. Eventually I ended up going private and the psych prescribed me prozac but starting on a really low dose of 10mg for a week, then 20mg for 4 weeks and now 40mg for the last month.

It's been great. Really cut down my intrusive thoughts to basically nothing, concentration is better, I'm enjoying life again! This is also due to a good therapist but the medication has definitely helped. Main side effect was sleepiness but having suffered with insomnia on and off for years, it's been great not dreading bedtime anymore. In the first couple of weeks of a new dose, I'd have a bit of brain fog but other than that, it's been great!"


"I am taking Microgestin FE 1/20 for a month now. I took the first pill and then decided to just read up on it. I was scared out of my mind after reading reviews. I tried to calm myself down by saying that people usually only give reviews with a bad experience. Rarely do people seek out these sites to give a positive one. Nevertheless I was scared. I thought I was going to gain weight, be an emotional crazy person, suffer from bad eye sight, etc, etc.

I was especially scared because I would take the pill at noon and at 5 pm everyday I would feel nauseous. I changed my time to 5pm, and hey problem solved. I am usually in bed by the time the nausea would start.

Other then that, no weight gain, no headaches, no loss of sexual interest, and no breast tenderness. Everyone is different and their bodies react differently.

I would say I am very satisfied with this birth control."


"On this medicine for 6 yrs.  No recognized side effects.  Last X-ray, lungs okay."


"Accutane has saved my life. My acne surfaced around 22 years old and from then on I've tried every salicylic and benzol product, retin-a and every other topical product from the dermatologist, and oral antibiotic known to mankind and nothing worked. I started accutane, now just starting month 4, and I have NO pimples! Only minimal scarring, but who cares as long as I don't have disgusting bumps and whiteheads all over my face! If you can get over the crazy dryness and chapped lips 24/7 you will be good. No joke I used to be able to count anywhere from 10-20 pimples on my face, now I am clear!!!! I'm so scared because I need to stop accutane a month early and pray my acne doesn't come back:("


"After reading these reviews, I braced myself and decided to take the plunge expecting negative side effects.  So far, I've experienced none of it the first 2 days.  I'm 61 with lower blood pressure so maybe that helps going in.  I am drinking 100 oz of water a day as I think the headaches can be dehydration.  I'm thankful for a previous comment about breaking this med into its 2 component prescriptions.  My cost for 30 days was under $40.  Everyone will have a different experience but I it took away my obsession with food.  I ate half my breakfast this a.m. and just didn't feel like eating the rest of it.  I am going to forget I'm taking the drug and concentrate on working out most every day!"


"I started 50mg of Pristiq only two days ago. My doctor didn't like the medicine combination that I was on before and they seemed to not be working so well anymore. I was taking Cymbalta and Celexa. I stopped taking Cymbalta and took Pristiq and the Celexa the first day. I was very afraid of a horrid drop in my mood all day being without my Cymbalta. But my mood was great. I stopped taking the Celexa and only took the Pristiq. It's crazy I feel good. Well aside from the dizzy dumb head feeling. I also get headaches here and there but nothing too terrible. In the past I have tried Effexor XR, Prozac, Lexapro and Zoloft for my depression anxiety. I am really impressed with Pristiq."


"I've been on it for five years. Works great. Dropped the hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) because my blood pressure was controlled without it. Then the first substitute I tried is Amlodipine and I now have swollen feet and ankles so guess what, until I can see my MD I'm back on MiCardis."


"I had my IUD placed in, almost 3 months ago exactly.  I had fairly regular periods that lasted about a week everytime, maybe 2-3 days of heavier bleeding, and next to no cramps.    With the exception of about a week, maybe two, I have bled everyday since.  They say there can be spotting, but it's been more than spotting for me.  Just when I think I'm about to stop, it starts back up.  Not only that but I don't have acne and all of a sudden it's there and it's only getting worse.  I'm also tired all the time, moody, and sick a lot.  "


"I've had my nexplanon for over a year now, it's very effective against not getting pregnant and that's the best part only. I have 2 periods a month, one light one heavy. I randomly bleed as well as cramp horribly before I start. I've had headaches, nausea, hives, nasal sinus issues, depression, mood swings, weight gain, loss of appetite, peeling skin on my face, dandruff, rash on my arm, constantly itching, loss of sex drive, tiredness and the list continues. "


"I will take this medicine the rest of my life if it means no more bacteria.  I know that's an exaggeration. I have had diarrhea everyday, which is burning my skin around my Anus. I can live with anything as long as I'm  on  the right path to recovery. The diarrhea occurs all day long, without much time to get to the bathroom. But I expect many bowel movements since I'm ridding myself of a digestive bacteria. I highly recommend this medicine pack, with positive thoughts of 100% recovery in my near future."


"I've had the nexplanon in for about a year. I didn't like it at first because after I gave birth I got it inserted about a couple weeks after. Obviously I still had my period so when I got it in, I had heavy bleeding everyday for about a month. I always felt like I was pregnant because I had symptoms like nausea, bloating, mood swings, and my breasts swelled up. I talked to my doctor and she gave me pills to control my estrogen and that helped within 3 days. After that it was smooth sailing. Within the year I had spotting twice that lasted about a week. I felt normal again and for me it was awesome. I did however get it removed couple days ago only because my husband and I are planning on getting pregnant. I will use nexplanon again!"


"I have been suffering with vaginal discharge and yeast infection on and off for approximate 15 years.  I used Monistat to no avail.  My doctor told me to try Vagistat and two days later, I feel great! I honestly would recommend this product to anyone suffering.  At last I can honestly say I feel some relief.  Thanks Vagistat"


"I've been on Estarylla for about 3 weeks. I've had some nausea but not enough to actually puke. I used to get 4-5 pimples at a time but now I have none at all! I haven't gained any weight. Technically there's no reason why you can't skip the placebo week and skip your period but I like knowing for a fact whether or not I'm pregnant. I don't really have bad mood swings. My boyfriend and I were using the withdrawal method and condoms and tracking my fertility for a year and 3 months and now we don't have to do that! So overall I'd recommend at least giving this medication a chance because I was scared to death but it ended up being great for me, and I'm usually very sensitive to medication."


"I started taking this medicine in September or 2010 and am stopping May of 2011. I had no problems with it until the last few months I have had four periods in two months. I have also gained weight since on this birth control with no changes to diet or exercise. I would recommend this if only concerned about birth control. I had very bad, heavy periods but only lasted 4 days and cramped constantly."


"Because I'm over 190 lbs, doc said I had to take Mg Citrate 2 days before colonoscopy. (The day before I also get to deal with Suprep, which is worse.) Downed the 10 oz. bottle in 4 shots, followed by 8 oz. cold water. It hit me a few hours later and then again in another hour or so%u2014don't know if it'll hit again, but all feels calm right now.  Pretty well flushed out. I had already had 3 BMs earlier today...not really unusual for me...and wasn't really full of food. The stuff definitely works. I had the Lemon flavor. Told my wife it tasted like "lemon-flavored old underwear." Really not great-tasting, but keeping it cold and holding my nose helped. Worked right through my pain meds, too. Finding it a bit difficult to stay hydrated."


"I've been on Loestrin almost 2 years now and have no real complaints! Nowhere near the weight gain I had while previously on Depo (maybe a pound or 2 on Loestrin) and my breasts have become significantly bigger (to the happiness of my boyfriend) and my skin is SO much smoother (also huge perk for him). I would really give it a 9.5 rating because those times when my period comes a day or 2 later then it should (because it only lasts 2 days at max) I start worrying if I'm pregnant, but in the end, never am! My doctor said if I hated the paranoia then to use a back up birth control too."


"Started Effexor after other anti-depressants gave me too many side effects. I'm four months in now and so far it has been great. I do have times where I'm very sleepy, have vivid dreams, and some weight gain but those are minor to me compared to how miserable I was before. Sexually it's been helpful as I'm not on edge all the time and can relax easier.  It's up to the individual to decide what side effects are deal breakers. I have accidentally missed a dose here and there but haven't experienced any of the withdrawals that others have."


"I took Latuda 40 mg for a week and then 80 the next week. I had to stop halfway through week 2 because I wasn't sleeping and I was feeling more agitated. Actually, it made my bipolar worse. I was up and down and up and down within a matter of minutes. "


"This is day 4 of taking the medication. No side effects except for an ever so slight headache. I attributed the headache more to a caffeine withdrawal. It has definitely taken away the urge to eat. I have not snacked in between meals at all and have not had an urge to. I have lost 3lbs since starting. It has also taken away all urges to drink alcohol, which is one of the reasons I put on all my weight. It's not that I couldn't make healthy choices when dieting but I ate too much and Contrave has taken that urge away. I hope you have found this review helpful and I will continue with updates."


"I have been on sprintec a little over a year and it has done wonderful by far in preventing pregnancy. My major problem would be the constant migraines. it progressed to worse. I am looking into a different method."


"Trilipix reduced my triglycerides from 3456 to 200, yes that's the number, and lowered all my bad cholesterol from 355 to normal, but unfortunately, Trilipix gave me the same side effect, dizziness, joint pain, a lot of muscle pain issue. Now I'm going back to the doctor. I just noticed that when I read all the side effects of Trilipix and now I understand what causes all the pain I was going through."


"Was rx'd for migraine control and prevention. Worked. But the painful tingling in my hands and feet was so extreme, I couldn't handle it. It also messed me up with some outrageous severe insomnia, and that's one thing that I can't have any more out of control. Even with Lunesta and other hefty sleep aids I was a mess, no sleep at all. I'm just now hearing how it helps with weight loss, which Id love to get advantages from, but the side effects weren't worth it at all."


"I got the liletta inserted in August 2016. I have never had children so the insertion process was horribly painful. I cramped afterwards for about 3 days. My first period with liletta was unbearable! I went to my doctor because the cramps were so bad I thought something was seriously wrong. It also lasted 2 weeks which a normal period for me is about 2-4 days. She said with it being my first period with the IUD it was completely normal. My second period I had no pain but was still bleeding for about 2 weeks. It starts out as brown spotting for about 4 days and then bright red bleeding for 4 days and back to brown spotting for another 4-6 days. It's been so annoying!!! Totally interferes with my sex life. I also am experiencing alot of acne."


"It has helped my sleep immensely. I don't leave home without it ever."


"I have recently started using the medicine about a week ago. I have seen the most amazing results. The only down side about it is it causes my allergies to flare causing me to have headaches and the worst chapped lips ever! Other than that no complaints at this time."


"Before I got the nexplanon, I was in the hospital for anemia due to vaginal blood loss. I was on the pill and kept forgetting to take it, and had an unwanted pregnant, which resulted in an abortion, which caused the anemia. I regret it every day. At first the nexplanon was excellent, it finally helped the blood loss. I haven't really bled too much, I usually only bleed 1-3 days. But the negative is, I gained 20+ pounds, I get sharp pains in my abdomen, I also get pains where it was implanted, I have no sex drive anymore, headaches and feeling nauseous. As well as mood swings. I've been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years and lack of sex drive and mood swings are hurting our relationship. Debating on getting it removed or not."


"Levitra saved my sex life. I no longer experience the frustration/embarrassment of not getting erect.  I take about a 5mg dose and it works within about 30 minutes and continues to work for about 18 hours.  Multiple erections are easy to achieve.  I am 64 years old and my pre- Levitra erections were seldom full hard or full sized.  Now my erections are like when I was in my 20s - hard, thick and upward.  I think my lady friend appreciates Levitra as much as I do."


"Paid $10.00 for 3 oz bottle. Took as directed and did not stop coughing. Only upset my stomach.

Called the company and they would not stand behind their product. No return policy for unused portion."


"I have only used the patch for flying. I have severe chronic motion sickness. I start to get nausea while picking up my prescription for my flight. Usually I combine a Valium or Xanax to ease the apprehension about possibly getting sick .If I don't take it early enough for my trip , its likely that I'll vomit on the way to the airport but after that I'm fine. Some of my problem is I self induce my condition since I worry about it.
I remove the patch as soon as I land but I am wiped out for the rest of the day until I can sleep it off. Blurry vision lasts about a day and dry mouth about the same.  Don't cut the patch in half for short trips...It will not work! I found out the hard way."


"I personally love Lolo! I have been on it for three years and have no issues with it. I never noticed any weight gain and I rarely have a period. Once while taking this I didn't have one for 11 months straight. When I do get a period it's maybe for 1-2 days and is extremely light. This medicine has been a blessing because before this I would bleed for 2-3 weeks straight and it would be heavy the whole time. Also while taking my acne actually got better.

The only reason I gave this medicine a 9 is the fact that I ended up having an unplanned (and unknown) pregnancy while taking it and had an early miscarriage due to continued use. This is the only reason I plan on switching to something a little more foolproof than the pill."


"Long story short, it works! I'm a mom of 2 with my surgery to get my tubes tied scheduled in just 2 weeks from now! I am on the mini pill until then. I forgot my pill on 9/3. Around 3 am that night, hubby and I did the deed without even thinking about the missing pill. The next morning it dawned on me and I was freaking out as I ran to the shops. This was my first time ever taking it. Easy to purchase, easy to take. I was hesitant to spend the $50 but it's better than the money for a new baby!!! No scary side effects besides a little dizziness about 30 mins after taking it. Well, I started my period yesterday!! A week early but I'm not complaining! It is a little heavier and cramps are a little worse than normal but, I'm not pregnant!!"


"I found this bottle from June 2010 that I was given at the emergency room. I can't remember what my visit was for but I have had a migraine since Saturday. I grabbed this bottle in desperation and it was like a miracle. The pain slid away from my head like taking a wig off. My vision is somewhat returning but the pain relief was amazing. I want to talk to my neurologist about a prescription to keep on hand"


"Lamictal saved my life. I have struggled my whole life with rapid cycling bipolar 2, with more frequent and longer lasting depressive episodes than manic. I was just recently diagnosed and never knew what was wrong with me- I've been dealing with this since as early I can remember , around age 10. I started seeing a counsellor and psychiatrist and this is the conclusion they came to. When I started going I was so close to ending my life, it was terrifying . I just thought it was normal. Then my psychiatrist started me on Lamictal and we worked up to 200 mg and I have never been this happy in my ENTIRE LIFE . I've been overweight forever and I'm now losing a lot of weight healthily, I'm so happy and confident and I'm finally making changes."


"I was on enbrel for nearly 9 years before it stopped working and humira didn't work at all for me. I started remicade nearly 4 years ago, my Dr started me out getting an infusion every 8 weeks and over the first year he brought it down to every 4 weeks. It's been working great but after the first 2 years my knees started bothering me but after some injection at my orthopedist they have been under control. Now both my elbows are really bothering me, at first it was when I woke up but now it's 24-7. I go in for my next infusion next week and will talk to my rheumatologist about the pain. I was curious to see if anyone else has had knee or elbow pain after being on remicade"


"I started this medication when I had my right hip replaced. 4 months later I had my left hip replaced. My doctor told me to take it as directed. Apparently, it not only relieves pain, but also prevents pain. He said that once I experience pain, it helps to relieve it, but if I take it before I feel pain (we knew I'd experience pain right after surgery) it would prevent it. I found this advise to be right on the mark. At first, I thought I could live without narcotic pain relievers, but it really worked to prevent the pain. Once you feel the pain, you're just trying to catch up."


"I'm 16 and it worked wonders! Treated my chest, back acne and especially the acne on my forehead! Still get one or two pimples on my face, but still looks just like it did when I was little kid. Didn't really treat it on my chin. All in all looks good. Although it delayed my period for a month and a half, and I've been on it for a month and a half, apparently a lot of antibiotics do that. Gonna go ask my doctor about that on my next appointment."


"Looking for a product to cut off GERD at early stage, I purchased Phillips Milk of Magnesia 12 oz. bottle that came with a measuring cap.  The laxative dose is 2 to 4 Tbsp so I wanted somewhat less than 2 Tbsp for GERD.  I assumed that the measuring cap was for medicinal Tbsps as distinguished from kitchenware Tbsps. Only after taking a bit less than 2 capfuls, upon rinsing the cap, did I notice that the cap is faintly marked for 4 Tbsps.  I got more than the max recommended laxative dose!  The good news is that it takes care of GERD.  The other news is that it takes care of everything else starting a few hours later and continuing over an extended period of time.   I was pleased with the GERD result but need to find a lower dose."


"Didn't make me tired at all.  About 20 min after taking it the horrible taste kicked in. Water doesn't even taste good. It's awful. "


"Actually came out of hospital, because I have been suffering from long term insomnia and was prescribed Belsomra 15mg as a 'last resort' option. In my experiences I have already tried Temazepam, Valpam, Valium, Imovane, Seroquel (quetiapine) etc. All those drugs eventually just building up my tolerance each time and I become dependent on them to sleep.

I however did try the antidepressant Valdoxan 25mg (Agomelatine). THIS REALLY HELPED ME FOR  MONTH. My body really built up tolerance to it and eventually I needed 50mg and then it just stopped working for me after 5 months, but I can assure you it reallllllly helped my insomnia for that short 5 months. *Will CONTINUE IN ANOTHER POST*"


"When I first went to the doctor I was not interested in the patch, she talked me into it and said if I didn't like it after a few months to come back and we would change it. With the birth control pills I used to take I had to pay $50 a month. Although, with the patch I am paying nothing. FREE! Now to the symptoms. The first 3 month sucked between headaches, nausea, being moody, and tired. The worst symptom was cramps when I was not on my period at random times. It hurt so bad and was very annoying. After 3 month of using the patch the symptoms are gone and I absolutely LOVE THE PATCH. I have been on it for about 6 months and the only downfall is that clothes lint collets around it but it's not a huge deal if you put it where no one can see"


"I am halfway through my Zoladex treatment, and it has been an absolute God send for my pain. I'm not in any pain at all, which is exactly what I wanted. However I am struggling with the side effects; hot flashes, headaches, weakness, night sweats, tiredness, bone pain. I was struggling to get through the day before the treatment, and now I have these other problems to deal with. I am torn about how I feel about it. I would definitely recommend it though, as everyone has different levels of these symptoms, I might just be a bad case."


"I am 47 and this is my second time on Provera. The only side effects I have noticed are intense night sweats. I am hotter than usual. The day after my first dose, I was nauseous and had a headache like a hangover, it has happened a few other times during the 10 days. I do think, that I can live with 10 days a month of the Provera because I was bleeding a lot. I was stuck at home. At least now, even if I don't feel good I can still leave home."


"This was my first pill I started on back in 2011 and stopped in 2012. This pill was great. No side effects in the beginning. Light periods. Unfortunately, I had to stop it when side effects started happening after 9 months.. Broke out in nickel sized hives and had bad insomnia."


"This is the 4th time I take Plan B over a course of 3 years. And not once has it failed me. The most recent time I took it was 2 days after unprotected sex. I was really worried of it not working this time since it was the longest I had gone without taking it. I got my period on time today. This pill works miracles."


"Night Terrors have haunted me for the last several years on and off. My night terrors became something that occurred nightly and even if I napped. My family struggled to help me and I had no idea there was help for this. My family doc put me on Clonazepam for anxiety 0.5 at bedtime and I discover my night terrors are no longer there! I am free of night terrors! Feel like I have a new lease on life and hope that the doctor will renew the prescription, but I'm not sure if he will since it's a controlled substance."


"I have been taking 100 mg of Zonegran daily for about a month, and have noticed a reduction in the amount and severity of my migraines."


"I was experiencing asthma symptoms from being exposed to a cat. After using Asthmanerfrin starter kit, I felt it work pretty quickly, but also noticed that my heart rate increased, hand tremors, and within a few minutes I began to cough up phlegm with blood. Then about a half hour later, I started to experience tightness in my left lung and it became difficult to swallow. Using the product, only for a few days, I haven't experienced problems with the mechanical functions, and it didn't bother me that it was a different product than a typical inhaler. I kept it clean, like instructed. However, I am concerned with the side effects I've experienced and plan to check with the pharmacist. I fear I am allergic to this product."


"Dramatically reduced pain, fatigue, daytime sleepiness, and fuzzy thinking.  The last time I skipped taking Xyrem,  I was unable to go to sleep all night.   I am concerned about this should I need to quit taking it."


"This medication is a life saver. This is definitely an alternative to Methadone or any other medication of this category. This also is a better medication if a patient is dependent on Opiate medicine. I highly recommend this medication to be taken as prescribed by a Doctor. Suboxone has a nasty orange taste to it so using some type of drinking liquid to cover up it's taste is recommended. Do not consume alcohol with this medication."


"Been on lisinopril for a year and a half. First day of taking it I felt a little dizzy but it was just that day. I do have a dry cough that comes and goes but I feel that's a small price to pay for good health. I do find that drinking plenty of water helps to keep the dry cough away. I was very skeptical about taking this drug at first but now I'm glad I did."


"No side effects and saw an immediate improvement, as well as a more peaceful state of mind, which may or may not be in my head, but I don't care. I felt great taking this medication, and it helped with the painful entry/sex that I was experiencing. Now, no problems!"


"I got the Kyleena inserted yesterday. I went to Planned Parenthood,  they were nice and it honestly didn't take long. I'm not gonna lie this did hurt a little,  but it wasn't to the point where I wanted to cry . It was just very uncomfortable and very crampy. However my doctor was very gentle and quick!!!  I bled all day yesterday with a couple intense cramps here and there but here I am the next day no cramps or bleeding..YAY!! I hope this helps gals, don't be afraid to get it it really doesn't hurt that bad as everyone makes it seem."


"Valgan takes care of cmv well I had a spk transplant that had cmv I did not have, my dose was 2 tabs 2x for 21 days then 1 2x for 14 days then went off only drug that treats cmv good. I would not take long term because of stomach pain and resistance to drug if future cmv infections should occur it becomes less effective like any other drug and the consequences can be dire for us with transplants, good experience with drug though pretty pricey though but life is priceless good luck"


"They work so good for me. I don't know what I would do without it. "


"Chantix was a "miracle drug" for me. I smoked 1 pack a day for 15 years. With Chantix I was able to quit after many  previous attempts. There were some side effects but nothing that was too bad, you do get nauseous if you don't take it with food but it passes in about a half hour and I did have some trouble sleeping while taking it. I would absolutely recommend it to everyone that wants to quit. Don't let the bad things you hear about it discourage you from taking it. Trust me I have watched too many loved ones suffer through the side effects of chemo, radiation, and knowing you have caused yourself to get terminal cancer. You will have bad dreams for sure when you think about having to tell your children that you are going to die. Try it."


"I find that Soma helps calm my nerves down and helps with my
arthritis pain. I believe it lowers my blood pressure as well. Drinking can be very dangerous with this medication."


"Before getting on Microgestin Fe 1/20, I was on Yasmin.  I never had any problems with Yasmin, although my period was slightly heavier than desirable.  I have been on Microgestin now for four months and literally go through 2 full period cycles in a row each month.  It is awful and inconvenient.  My doctor actually put me on the pill because of the reports of shorter periods.  I know that all bodies react differently, but be cautious of this problem, if you do not want to chance it.  I have also experienced severe mood swings, but I cannot discredit it regarding actual birth control.  Just remember to take it at the same time, daily."


"Brazileiro'm so my English is bad. I have depression greater than 10 years (I am 47 years old). I would say that in the last two years was in bed 90% of the time without the strength to hold a pen .I only had a bath bath every three months .And when they go me into a psch hospital  Dr he explained a lot to me  mostly about diet 80%. I talked to my doctor here and started taking it. In the first days started an improvement, today I'm there five months out of bed, I made a website to help people with depression .  Mywhole story it almost suicide etc. ). My doctor suggested ESKALITH"


"I used the medicine according to directions. About an hour later it started to sting and burn and kept getting worse.I couldn't sleep and finally had to get up and wash it off with soap and water."


"I've been on Pristiq for almost 3 years and yes it works, but the withdrawals I'm experiencing are not worth it. The withdrawal symptoms have lasted two weeks and only get worse by the day. "


"Sinusitis was so bad that my teeth even hurt. Now on day 2 of azithromycin, pain about 80% resolved. Absolutely no side effects. Have taken azithromycin in past for sinusitis and consistently note resolution prior to completion of 5 day pack."


"While this and Cialis may be WONDEFUL for men....what about us women??  We sure could use something to help us!!
This works wonders for my hubby...but it's killing me!!  Once, even twice in a day is GREAT...but this 'old' lady can't keep up with this.
"


"I have tried it all. Haven't slept through one single night in over 15 YEARS...being the wife of a cop who works all whacked hours of the day and night is part of the reason. Dr told me about Belsomra and I figured, "What can it hurt?" - "What's worse than another night of disturbed sleep?" Well, I have experienced THE BEST sleep of my life on this medicine. I take it 1 - 2 hours before bedtime, fall asleep easily, STAY asleep ALL NIGHT without waking at all. I'm one amazed skeptic. I wake up refreshed without feeling like I need any extra sleep and without feeling groggy. I'm actually ready to BE AWAKE. The husband reports that I do NOT move all night! And those awesome, vivid dreams are an added bonus."


"I was on Rebif for three years. I felt tired and dizzy all the time. My liver was greatly affected by the Rebif. I was afraid of liver problems and after checking out other medications I choose Copaxone. No liver problems. There is site soreness but as time goes by it is not so bad any more."


"I’m 47 and and have been an RN for over 20 years. I’ve used this product a few times in the past for YI with no problems. Not this time. This time after inserting the one day ovule , there was intense pain, burning and itching. It lasted for about an hour and a half despite a cool shower to try to wash it out and now laying down with an ice pack to the area for the past hour. Now it finally feels bearable. They must have changed the formula because this has never happened to me before. Would not recommend this product!!"


"I read all these reviews and decided to try it thinking it might work but I was wrong. Do. Not. Take it. First of all it barely helped my cough at all, some tea and honey could've done better than this. In fact I think my cough got even worse. That part that was most upsetting was when I woke up feeling nauseous. I ignored it and next day took it again and I got EXTREMELY light headed, just crazy dizzy. And then I got the diarrhea afterwards....I just felt confused and out of it. This medicine is absolute trash and I don't recommend taking it at all. I usually don't even write reviews either so that should tell you something. 18f"


"This has changed my life. I had really bad allergies and would get sinus infections at least once every 2 months and everytime I was on a plane. I discovered flonase while on a trip and was at the end of my rope having antibiotics constantly and I tried the flonase as a last resort for some relief. It wasn't instant but the change was amazing. Since taking flonase i haven't had a infection since and have travelled extensively without any issue. I have recommended to a friend who has horrible allergies and it has helped her almost completely ease her symptoms and even stopped her snoring. Might not be for everyone but with regular use it has worked wonders for me"


"Broke out in hives and severe vaginal itching. Doctor was aware I was allergic to penicillin so why she prescribed this medication is beyond me. "


"This was the very first birth control brand I've taken, I was so happy because it didn't give me any weight gain or acne. It did make me very emotional and crazy after using it for a year or more, it made my relationship with the boyfriend go downhill. So I stopped taking it for 3 months and I started gaining a lot of weight out of nowhere. I've never been this heavy before, so I'm deciding to take it again but with a vitamin called Evening Primose Oil capsules. Hopefully it will help with my emotional wreck and craziness. Of course, every brand and dose is different for each person. I wish there was something that would tell us what works best for our bodies."


"I suffer from gout in my feet periodically because I do not take preventative medicines. My last bout I tried Tylenol extra strength first and got no relief. I switched to Aleve gel caps and immediately felt the pain decrease. I am a believer and also an Aleveir, thanks a lot."


"I had a very bad cough, it may have been bronchitis or some other infection but I was given this antibiotic from a doctor and within a day or two I was feeling much better. It worked pretty good only thing they are very dry pills."


"Atarax is the best for relieving nausea, especially while taking pain killers. I have a broken tailbone and am taking Vicodin, which makes me so sick. I take 50 mg of Atarax and the nausea is gone within 20 minutes. It is GREAT. Also helps with anxiety and hives."


"Better then Lortab 10/500 been taking for 3 years 4 times a day. "

I thought I would have to go to ER for this horrible reaction."


"I started taking Cymbalta for my fibromyalgia and after a while it was like I never had a problem. I also found that my mood swings were less and less. No more suicidal thoughts and I can actually sleep now. It's a great medicine for both problems."


"I have been on April for almost 2 years now and I am finally getting off of it next week and starting Ocella.  I lost my sex drive, wanted to eat everything in sight, and was very emotional. No change in breast size, and never had trouble with acne. I dealt with Apri for this long because it helped with my ovarian cysts and kept my periods light and regular.  4 months ago I started eating healthy and working out consistently to lose weight, and yet no successful results. I am so sick of having to eat minimal calories and work out 4+ days a week just to MAINTAIN my weight. I really hope Ocella works!"


"After one year on Alendronate, Posture-D and 4000iu of Vitamin D I had another bone scan and am growing new bone."


"After the loss of my younger brother I had a very difficult year. After 4 weeks on sertraline I can say for the 1st time in a long time, I'm gonna b ok. Despite sleep disturbances I have more energy, positive outlook and people are noticing i seem happier."


"I have herniated discs in my lower back, I have been on 10mg/325mg norco 4 times daily for 11 months. All of a sudden this other pain doctor I was forced to see since mine disappeared put me on T4's which are complete JUNK! I would rather take nothing at all... I feel like I am just flooding my liver with tylenol for nothing... The DEA needs to stop threatening doctors with jail and let them do their jobs. I'm sorry but just because some junkies decided to shoot heroin and die doesn't give them the right to deny me quality Healthcare... I AM PISSED because I am in PAIN! I DON'T WANT TO GET HIGH I JUST WANT RELIEF!"


"I have been on methadone about 2 years. I get terrible sweats and hot cold flashes everyday. I am now waiting to go back into rehab to detox of this drug completely along with anti psychotic quitiapine and anti depressant mirtazapine. I hear they want to put me on venlafaxine when I'm off those other drugs. I'm not sure how I feel about this."


"I have suffered from depression since I was 8 years old.  I finally started going to therapy and taking antidepressants and various other psychotropic medications with no luck.  Finally at 39 my internal medicine doctor suggested I try lithium CR 300mg once a day along with a SSRI antidepressant.  I am going to be 45 next month and have only been in "the hole" five times.  My doctor ups my SSRI during these episodes until I'm stabilized then I go back down when I feel it's safe.  Lithium has been a life-saving medicine with minimal side-effects.  Thirst and acne are worth it."


"After being prescribed Tamsulosin for 1 week my typical urinating volume during the daytime has increased from 150 to 250ml per event."


"Recently diagnosed with IBS (D) after months of pain and significant weight loss 30+ llbs. Hyoscamine didn't help much, Librax does but the side effects for me are awful, after 2-3 days on it I develop severe headache which does not abate no matter what pain releif I use, if I continue to take it it then triggers days and days of cripplig migraines. So at the moment I take it on and off to keep the side effects down."


"I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis June 2013 at 39 years old. The pain was unbearable and debilitating. I started taking hydroxychloroquine 200 mg twice a day which didn't sit well in my stomach, extreme burning in the esophagus. Once I started using the brand name form of Plaquenil I no longer experience that side effect. I had my bouts of loose stool, nausea, and headaches for a few months but they have gone away. Plaquenil has done wonders for me, it does take a few months to really feel the benefits but hang in there it's worth the wait. My fingers don't feel like they are going to break off, I don't have pain all over my body and hurray no morning stiffness. I feel like a new woman. "


"I like/dislike the NuvaRing because before I would always forget to take the pill and with this I'm not pregnant. But the only down side is that I have absolutely no sex drive whatsoever. And to find out the reason why and that I'm not the only one that this happens to is so relieving.  So I will be switching soon."


"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"


"I get cold sores about every other month. I went to my Dermatologist and she gave a prescription for Sitavig. It sticks on your gum which is weird and takes getting used to, but she told me it is supposed to make you have fewer outbreaks. Sure enough, I went 5 months before my next one. When I saw her next I did complain that it took long time to dissolve. She said that was part of what made it work so well. Not sure how, but I will never go back to using my valtrex."


"Best birth control ever, did make me extremely moody and hungry .. Only thing that had me worried was that my bones started to crack so easily .. So I stopped taking it"


"I have severe cramps every month. The Doctor gave me 10mg of Ketorolac and it worked better than the Vicodin that I have taken. It really took the pain away quickly and for a long period of time! I have no negative side affects. This medicine really works. I would not know what to do without it every month! Hope this feedback helps someone."


"I have had RLS all my life. For the first 40 years I was wide awake until 2-3 in the morning and my legs were wanting to run a marathon. First night on ropinirole was a come to Jesus like experience. I had to up the dosages until I was at 4 mg, which has been just fine for the last 8 years. I do not know if I would have made it through the last 12 years without this medication."


"Have frequent sinus infections & have been prescribed Augmentin XR whenever I have a severe sinus infection for about the past 17 years now. It always has done the job & taken care of the infection. The only downside is the GI side effects (i.e. stomach cramps, diarrhea, etc)."


"Hi, I was prescribed generic Wellbutrin XL back in mid-August. I was diagnosed with ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression. For the depression it really did work, I didn'tI get board of somethings as I used to and when I skipped a day I could tell. As for the ADHD part, I feel like it helped a little, I got terrible grades in high school and didn't like doing homework. I'm a freshman in college and now have straight A's, I feel as if the medicine has helped me stay focused on my academic goals I have set but lately I've been unmotivated so I had a check up with my doctor and she wanted to know if I wanted to try something else so I said yes and she prescribed me Escitalopram. I would recommend Wellbutrin, it helped me."


"I have had moderate acne since I was 13 I am now 15 I have used Duac cream for about a year. First it worked wonders and my skin cleared completely however I started to get acne on my chest and shoulders and found the cream didn't work for me in those areas I have also started to find my skin is becoming more resident to the cream so I have now been given Zineryt. Duac is definitely an amazing cream for acne maybe I will go back to it after giving my skin a break."


"I started taking this medication to help control bleeding. It worked great for stopping that but I traded in the bleeding for serve cramping. I cramp off and on through out the day. The cramps feel like I am going through a really bad period. The pain will stop me in my tracks and I have to hold myself or bend over to help to easy the pain."


"I have been on Gilenya for 8 weeks and just recently noticed my hair has begun to thin. As I brush, numerous strands fall out.  I am a 32 year old female so this is very concerning.  "


"I've been on 2mg of Clonazepam daily for over a year for REM Sleep Disorder.  Lately, both myself and my wife have noticed I was becoming withdrawn, irritable, and impatient.  I cut my dosage in half (on my own intiative) eleven days ago and began taking Melatonin with the 1mg of Clonazepam.  After reading the horror stories of withdrawal I visited my sleep Physician two days later.  He agreed with my decision to taper off Clonazepam and defined the 2mg as a fairly low dose compared to what many take for anxiety issues.  He recommended I continue 1mg Clonazepam and 4mg of Melatonin. During the 11 days I have had some minor discomfort while feeling much better emotionally. I will follow up in 30 days to taper further."


"I am 23 years old and have been on Concerta for over 2 years. I can tell you, as all of you have mentioned, that the first initial response my brain had to this medicine is efficiency. I went from not knowing if I could make it through school, to getting myself back into school after a year or so off. I went to college, and started taking Concerta. I had straight As for quite a while. I went from 18 mg, to 27 mg. I have noticed, within the past two years, that my brain has become very used to the drug. I have tried not taking it for a few days, because I don't want to depend on the medicine. However, I do notice after a couple days off of it, that my mind doesn't work at all. I feel like my brain is non-functioning; like I can't do anything."


"I've been on Nexplanon for about a year and a half and I have only great things to say about it.  I haven't had a period the since I've been on it, only occasional spotting after the first year.  No mood swings, no bloating, no PMS signs at all.  I really wish I would have known about it to get it sooner."


"I LOVED these drops at first. Even was able to cut back on my nasal allergy medicine. However, after a month I had a terrible reaction to it and ended up looking like I had pink eye in both eyes, in addition to swollen horribly itchy eyelids. My luck, allergic to the allergy medicine. Don't panic if this happens to you, it'll go away in a couple of days."

"I am 27 years old and today is my 3rd day on Suboxone.  My life before was hell. I ceased to function without pain pills. I would go through a bottle of 90 Percocet 10s in less than 48 hours and was using fentanyl patches.  I lost my mother last year to a drug overdose and I myself have overdosed twice. With Suboxone I feel like me again.  I feel like a 10 year long battle with addiction is over.   "


"I'm almost done with my first month of the pill. So far, its been quite a ride. I noticed a change in my acne right away, so I was super optimistic.. and then my period was late by about a week.. and then I got super moody and today i am stuck in bed vommitting. To me, its a small price to pay for clear skin and pregnancy free. The pill is extremely effective."


"For the 1st yr i had implanon, i got my period like crazy on &off for a few consecutive months. The 2nd yr, i never got my period at all. It was great(: but closing in on the 3rd year i began to get my period again. The second implant (nexplanon), i have been getting my periods pretty regularly. Once a month, for a few days.  I've just finished 2yrs on this one. 1 more to go. Cant say much about weight gain bc i havent been eating/exercising properly for the past few yrs &thats my fault. Also, acne; ive had my whole life so i cant say its causes my random break outs. &of course, w. mood swings, id say i get a little over emotional right before mother nature hits but hey who doesnt right? anyway,kept me from getting pregnant the last 5yrs"


"I have been on Keppra (levetiracetam ) since Nov for seizures. I have been on Bipolar medications for 2 years. The Keppra I started has literally CHANGED MY LIFE! I am no longer in a manic tornado. The twister I call "life" has stopped. I move at the same speed as others now instead of challenging myself to be the best, FASTEST and efficient mover 24/7. My thoughts are no longer racing. I can finish the thought clearly. It took about a month to really stop stop noticing the wretched side effects of starting Keppra or levetiracetam. Well worth it. "


"Good medicine."


"Had plica band arthroscopic resection done and had post op cortisone injections which only lasted one month. I then went back for Synvisc One injection which lasted four months. I'm going back for an other injection of Synvisc. It really helps in my case anyway."


"It works for my daughter with minimal side effects.  One thing though is after over a year of taking it seems to be losing some effectiveness.  Trying Onfi with it now."


"i find this medicine to work pretty well throughout the day but not so much over night.

the down side is that it upsets my stomach a lot of the times."


"This drug was a monster for me. I took it to get off opiate pain medication thru the VA. My legs and feet swelled to enormous proportions and the pain was terrific. The VA uses veterans as guinea pigs. Stay away."


"Changed my life - only side effect is trouble sleeping"


"Started on Fetzima 20mg and increased to 80mg over two weeks time.  Expected some weird feelings while coming off one med and starting another, but did not anticipate the horrible side effects that happened. By the time I got to 80mg, my GI tract was raw from mouth to anus. I am now on a PPI to repair my stomach. I also experienced dizziness, eye pain, blurred vision, sadness, forgetfulness, and weird dreams.  I saw no benefit from this drug and am currently titrating off under doctor's supervision."


"Been on Life Changing Afrezza for 14+ Months! No LUNG. issues! My A1C is Now Near Remission!  I Am on 60- 8 Unit & 30- 12 Unit package Monthly! Works Great! Easy to take! Just BREATH!E!"


"I am a 70 yr old, in good condition. Have used Viagra and now Cialis with good effect. No side effects. "


"First time user of the pill in general. The doctor put me on the lo because I also wanted it to help with acne symptoms as well as general birth control.
The first 2 weeks I did not notice any side effects, all was well. The 3rd week I started noticing bloating and weight gain. The weight gain did not stop and I started noticing my appetite sky rocket. I was hungry a lot and often. I started snacking and gaining weight around hips and butt. Not a good feeling.
To be clear, I used this for only 2 months, but in those two months I gained a little over 5 pounds and felt bloated and foggy brain. The acne did start to improve after the first month which was nice and my skin was doing great, however, this was not enough incentive for me."


"I have experienced depression and anxiety for the last five years and was prescribed Luvox. However I was still getting a lot of mood swings, was very low and anxious - struggling to hold down my job due to sleep deprivation.  After three months on this medicine I only wish I had moved over sooner.  I have never felt the urge to write a review like this before but felt the desire due to the significant change it has brought to my life and that for my wife and kids.  No weight gain for me although I did have headaches for a few days but they passed within a week.  Highly recommended."


"My A1C was 7.6 when I first started on Afrezza. Started with a Monthly 90 Units  Supply of 4 Strength Cartridges, Inhaled 3X's a Day, before each Meal!  AFTER 14 + Months my A1C Dropped to 7.3...Then the New Titration Pack 180 was introduced, Containing 60 of 4, 60 of 8 & 60 of 12 units Afrezza for a 30 day Supply, 2 NOW be Inhaled BEFORE & AFTER MEALS! For ME, Adding Titration Pack in April 2017, In 6 MONTHS  I Went from 7.3 to 6.1 A1C & Dropping! That's 6.1 A1C Accomplished in just 6 Months for ME!  Also NOTE: NO SIDE EFFECTS! My Doctor is Also Most Surprised by Health overall Also MOST IMPROVED!  Afrezza has Added Years 2 My LIFE!  This Information is 100 % UNDISPUTED!  Afrezza is PRICELESS!"


"I got my Skyla inserted 4 days ago, I was so nervous to go through with it after spending countless hours reading other people experiences. The doctor told me she would stop at any point if the pain became too much to handle. The whole procedure lasted maybe 5 minutes at most. I did not feel a single thing and actually had to question if she truly finished. I did not experience any cramps for the first 12 hours but once they kicked in they were no different than period cramps, a little ibuprofen here and there and everything was fine. Bleeding has ranged from light to barely even spotting but my period tends to last a week so it may just be from that. So far I am very happy with my decision to get it. DON'T LET THE BAD EXPERIENCES WORRY YOU!"


"I love this medicine"


"I recently snapped my fibula in half in a bicycle accident. I went a few days without any sort of real pain medication and was in extreme pain. I went back to the doctors and he gave me this medication. The pain has certainly deceased quite a bit. It helps to take this with food."


"I recently switched from lutera to this combo pill and I immediately started feeling bloated and extremely moody. I am bloated 24/7 and it hasn't gone away. This is my second month on it. I also have extremely bad acne from this pill and I NEVER get a single pimple unless I am about to start my period then I maybe get 1 or 2. Now my entire face is covered. I switched from lutera due to break through bleeding but am going to switch to something else because this is awful. I would not recommend."


"Chronic Pancreatitis and Post-op pain management for Laparoscopic Pancreatic Gluconoma NE tumor Excision. With oxycodone 20mg/ 12 hours.

Take exactly as directed and it works great. Able to work and play. Very rarely need 5 mg Oxycodone immediate release.
Shame there is increasing stigma from abusers."


"I went to the doctor on June 23rd and weighed in at 322lbs.  I started Phentermine that day and as of this morning I weighed 312.  That's 10 pounds in less than a week.  I feel great, no problems sleeping and tons of energy.  I can't stop chewing gum or drinking water.  I have cut out all snacking and soda.  I have to force myself to eat.  I love this program I am on."


"After a car accident, I was prescribed this medication for TMJ which existed before the accident but grew significantly worse. I also experience anxiety and racing thoughts that prevent me from getting sleep. This medication has helped tremendously although I'm not able to take it every night. This can cause you to develop a tolerance."


"I wasted £8.60 on this garbage. Would strongly suggest antibiotics instead of wasting both time and money."


"I'm 19. I've been on Orsythia/Sronyx for 7 months now. First 5 months were fine, cleared up my acne, regulated my periods and prevented pregnancy. The last 2 months have been extremely difficult. I had previous issues with anxiety and panic which I thought I dealt with until 2 months ago where I experienced very extreme anxiety.  I thought it was work stress but I felt I was going crazy; migraines, insomnia, weeping, nausea for weeks. It has been a while since then and life has calmed down but I am still not feeling like myself, and so I am contemplating switching the pill. Orsythia also gave me recurrent and niggling yeast infections which was annoying. At the end of the day it does its job, but if you're predisposed to anxiety, be weary."


"Not only was this medicine not helpful, it made me a zombie.  I took a quarter of a pill in the lowest dose available. Within 15 minutes I literally could not function and had to stop what I was in the middle of and go to bed. I woke up after a full nights rest and was still in a fog. As I drove to work, I was so out of it. I would snap back to reality for a second and be scared that I passed my exit, which was still miles away, because I just wasn't with it.  I also nearly missed an appointment because (despite reminding myself more than once during the day that I needed to get to this appointment) I completely forgot.  I stayed in a zombie like state all day."


"Do not use any type of 1 day. Next day swollen burning irritating excruciating PAIN!"


"Update - I am now on day 9, 10 mg a day. I take them first thing in the morning and to be honest have so much energy and have not been eating... I am trying to eat small amounts but to be honest I could do with losing some weight. Started on these weighing 15stone I now weight 14s 8lbs... so that's good... The symptoms I have had are Jaw clenching, first few days anxiety not as bad but a little.... If I take 20 mg I feel a mess. I felt high whilst walking my dog and then had to turn home as I felt weird.... So for me 10 mg is enough... I am having Counselling as well and CBT. Stick with them I feel so much better than I did 9 days ago, tears, anxious, fed up,no energy.... now I am hopefull. good luck"


"I first started taking Lutera around the beginning of January. I noticed immediate mood swings within the first 2 weeks of taking it, I had a little trouble sleeping one night & literally started sobbing out of no where (mind you I'm not a very emotional person). It made me EXTREMELY depressed, & I only ever felt angry or sad, never happy, not to mention I felt very disconnected to my boyfriend who I am deeply in love with. I immediately got off of it during the third week. They say to stick it out the first 3 weeks at LEAST but I could not stay on it one more day. I immediately noticed the changes & I was back to my spunky positive self, thank god! ( :"


"I have been on Apri birth control for 3 years now.  I give it a 3 for the fact that it in fact helped me to get and regulate my period, at the very late age of 22.  And that I am not pregnant. But I have worse acne now than I did when I was 13.  I have gained a lot of weight on my hips and stomach.  I have the worst mood swings and my sex drive is completely gone.  It has caused a lot of problems in my relationship since I started taking it."


"This pill did not work for me, the first day I took it I felt sick and nauseous. I was vomiting alot so I stopped taking it. This is my personal experience with this, I know every body reacts differently. In my case it was no good for me."


"I had jaw surgery 2 weeks ago and I have to be on liquid diet for maybe less than 6 weeks but can also have very soft foods. After a week and half I started eating scrabled eggs and then a couple days later I had to go poop and COULD NOT come out. It was painfull and to the point I was crying, then I was researching on what is the most effective out there... Magnesiam Citrate. I went to walgreens with my dad and he said when he was a child, this was the BEST solutions that helped him out on his constipation. When I bought the Wild Cherry flavor of MOM Phillips I took it right away. It Immediately helped out the cramps because it was extermely painful then I went to take a long nap then 5 hours later IT CAME OUT LIKE A DREAM. Try it Please!"


"I was given Provigil for my narcolepsy, with dosage of 200mg/3 times daily.  For the first 3 days it was amazing I had forgotten what it felt like to be 'awake'. Unfortunately, after just 3 days it was not effective at all.  My neurologist nodded knowingly when I told him.  He said that's how long it takes to metabolize.  Apparently that's when you can tell if it will work for you or not.  I'm now on Aderall, 20 mg/3 daily and it is working much better for me."


"The first year on this was great. After that I went crazy. I had 2 pregnancy scares in 6 months. Not to mention the lower sex drive, CRAZY mood swings  and getting dry down there. Finally switched after 2 years. Be careful, know your body and listen when others tell you you've changed."


"I have loved Lunesta for my insomnia.  However, the generic lunesta has been a roller coaster ride depending on manufacturer.  Some manufacturers versions of lunesta do not work at all while others will work half of the nights taken and only last about 2-3 hours before I am awake again.  Brand name lunesta would get a 10 but the generic is definitely not a good substitution."


"I had to switch to a new contraceptive after being on Depo for 5 yrs. Since I was used to having no periods on the Depo my doctor okayed me to take only active pills and never take the placebos. After 4 months, I started getting breakthrough bleeding on and off for the next 6 weeks. It did it's job, since I am baby-free, but I couldn't keep taking it from all the random bleeding for almost 6 weeks. While on it, I had headaches for the first few weeks, but they subsided. I was definitely more emotional while on it the first couple months, but that leveled out mostly. I still would cry easier, though. The good thing is that I did seem to have a little bit higher sex drive. "


"I've been on this for five months. Don't, just don't. If you have any history of depression on BC, run fast and far. I'm bloated, I hate everyone, I'm tired no matter how much sleep I get, my acne is terrible, and my mind is muddled. I wish I could just find a pill that doesn't make me so depressed.
I definitely was not like this before. I used to be kind to most and happy to be alive.
Now I wish everyone would leave me alone

But hey, I'm not pregnant."


"I have been on one form of hypothyroid meds for the last 20 years.  I have used Tirosint for a year and half.  The only thing that I can say for it is the doctor loves it. I hate it. I was hoping it would help with my fatigue, swelling, and forgetfulness.  The only thing that has changed for me is my cheeks are redder, I feel bloated all the time, and I am losing my hair. I'm still tired, and still think I'm losing my mind. Logical worked better than all of them including the Armui"


"The Best Muscle relaxer and pain relief  ever!"


"The doctor prescribed geodon 20mg at night for my 8 year old daughter. She has autism and a mood disorder. She has been on this medication for about a week and I am stopping it. She has became very agitated and restless. As of this evening she has become severely depressed and sobbing I over everything. It breaks my heart seeing her like this. I would never recommend this medication for any child."


"I suffer frequent migraines, with opthalmic migraines as well. When my migraines are hormone-related, this works really well. However, if the migraines are weather-related, these must be combined with mucinex or a Sudafed. Overall, I find Excedrin Migraine to be more effective than prescription migraine medicine. IT REALLY WORKS!!!"


"Took for chronic pain of knee, back had half of 2 vertebra removed and fibromyalgia. This medicine did not work at all for me. I have taken oxycodone and methadone for pain and they made things bearable. This medicine did no good at all. I was only given 20 mgs a day after 80mg a day methadone and 80mg oxycodone. This is all the pain clinic would prescribe so I had to go back to methadone that makes me gain weight and my teeth are rotting out but I can function and have relief of pain. Still have pain but I can bear it."


"I had shortness of breath and chest pains right side, doctor sent for X-rays. Called next day and told me I had pneumonia of left lung. It's been 5 days now and I slept throughout the night yesterday for 1st time in a week,
chest pains still there but less intense. After 10 days on medicine I am going back for X-rays. So far so good."


"I have been on Seasonale for over a year now, and it is the only birth control that has actually worked for me, after going through 6 other brands. I went from having very heavy periods and cramping for 7 days, to having a very light (hardly there) period every 3 months. It also managed to clear up the cystic acne that came along with it. My only issue with it was that for the first month or two on the pill, I did have some spotting and bleeding, but it quickly went away, and haven't had any bleeding since then. Other than that I haven't experienced any other symptoms, and I highly recommend Seasonale!"


"Have had spotting for 2 months. My lower back hurts often from cramping....My breasts are tender and feel hard and I am feeling a lot more emotional (I cry a lot now) I feel fatigued all of the time and I don't know if it's from this medication or stress.  I am hoping my unpleasant symptoms go away after a few more months of taking it.... the bright side... this medication made my very small breasts larger !"


"I have to Fentanyl is bitter sweet. So happy to not have to tale so many pain pills. But still feel like a slave I missed a patch not thinking and never called my refill in, right away was sick like I never want to feel again. But I also can't stand being in pain all the time, so yes bitter sweet. "


"I've been taking 25mg/day for 3 weeks for Nerve damage/back pain .  I love this medication! It has some interesting side effects...(I have tried Gabapentin, Lyrica, Tramadol, and Percocet - but had really bad experiences on all of them.)   The tingling goes away after a week.  hot flashes - too young for this! Mentally in a better place-I was in a depressive funk before taking it.  Cleared my head a bit - I actually want to get better now and am walking/making an effort b/c I'm able to b/c my pain is manageable.  I still get random shooting pains, but not as harsh.  Major con is my hair is falling out!!!  any suggestions on hair-loss?

Otc supplements I take with it: AZO Cranberry Urinary Tract Health, b12, biotin, pnv, and fish oil.  drink lots of water!!!"


"After nine years of no flare ups, I suddenly found myself with the red cheeks and pustules. I decided to consult a dermatologist who prescribed me sulfa cleanse and a very low dose antibiotic. Within several days, my face was extremely red, raw, and full of large, painful pustules. Heartbroken, I decided to see my regular doctor and he prescribed me metro gel and a stronger antibiotic. I saw results instantly. From one day to the next, my redness and inflammation went down to the point that I noticed it. Now, only 5 days later, my face is back to normal. I am amazed at how fast the metro gel, combined with the right antibiotics, cleared my face up. I am forever grateful to my doctor and metro gel for helping me smile again."


"So I got the implant on April 15 and immediately I started feeling mood swings , one moment I felt happy the next mad . Constantly getting mad at my boyfriend for little things that didn't matter . Felt irritated all the time . My period was late . I started on May 6th it is May 12th now and still on my period . I eat a lot now . Gained a couple pounds . Got some acne . Sometimes I feel depressed . Considering getting it removed but 99% chance of not getting pregnant is what's keeping me to stay with the birth control ."


"I have been attempting to use Luvox for my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder but I have a weak stomach so I haven't made it off the 25mg yet until my body adjusts. I could tell that I was getting better though. I stopped it for a week and my compulsions came back worse than before. I've read some people think they don't have OCD because they don't have compulsions, compulsions are not needed for the diagnosis just obsessions. I am a social worker so it has been difficult to help others with their mental illness when I suffer from OCD and ADHD which I didn't start medication for until recently (I am 28). I am hoping my picking will go away completely once I adjust to the medicine. "


"I've been on 75 mg for two months now, started at a baby dose of 37.5 about 3 months ago. I can honestly say I woke up feeling the difference and the burst of energy. Only complaints are if you forget to take a dose you're not in for a good day until you take your next dose. I vomit and have a terrible headache, and also with the medication I found that I had a couple bad lows while getting used to it. But as long as you keep up with your dose and don't mess around with taking it you should be very satisfied with the result."


"If I could give this a 0 I would. I had this for 7 mths and for the 7 mths, i bleed the who time except maybe 4 to 5 days out of the 7 mths. they put me on the pill to thinking that it would stop the bleeding but it did not. I ended up getting it out and when they took it out it took them 2 and a half hours to take it out because it was difficult to find and it was rapped around the tendons in my arm. After getting it taken out my whole arm was bruised for 2 months after that and I had regular periods."


"I love brisdelle!  Hot flash and sweating relief, no side effects, no personality changes. Very happy this is available.  Lifesaver!"


"I help my 83 yo mother-in-law with her medical care.  She has been on opiates for over 25 years due to broken hips after a fall.  After several trips to the hospital a couple years ago for fecal dis-impaction, I began a desperate search for something that could help.  This medicine had just come out about 8 months earlier. I only wish someone had told me about it sooner.  It has been a life-saver for her.  Within about 15 minutes of her first shot, she had a huge bowel movement.  She's been taking it every other day for almost 2 years, and in that time, has had less than a handful of times when it didn't work.  This has truly been a blessing for us."


"I was on Lo Logestin Fe 24 for years and didn’t realize it was the reason I had acne, severe bloating and weight gain, and anger issues/depression/anxiety. A coworker convinced me to try Viorele. I immediately was less bloated, had less anxiety and depression, and my acne went away. Within 3 months, I lost almost 10 pounds without changing my diet or exercising. I am not happy with having a somewhat regular period flow (Lo Lo made my flow very light), but the exchange for feeling normal may be worth it. I am trying Yaz now, and it’s creating severe anxiety, so I may come back to Viorele."


"I have been dealing with Crohn's Disease for around ten years now and I was only properly diagnosed 2 yrs ago. I have received Remicade infusions every four weeks for the last year and it has made a very significant improvement in my everyday life. I no longer need to take pain meds to get through the day and my energy levels are closer to normal then they have been in years. Before Remicade it had got to the point where I could barely walk due to lower back and hip pain all related to Crohn's."


"I started taking Celexa in Nov '08 and continued it for seven months.  My depression disappeared and I was doing a whole lot better. Normality returned and I had no side effects other than a little weight gain which may not have been due to the drug.  I was eating popcorn every night!  Anyway, since I felt better I decided to stop taking it in May 09.  Well, my depression returned. It's funny, this time I felt it coming on but didn't do anything about it until it was full blown.  I started taking Celexa again three days ago (Aug 23) and, poof!  Most of my poor mood is gone and I feel so much better already. I'm not stopping again.  This medicine is great!"


"I haven't tried this medication even though my doctor suggested it. My insurance (bcbs) covers a portion. With the savings card - I would still owe over $1000 a month! Just curious how the company can justify charging this amount for a weight loss drug. At this price- I could afford weight loss surgery!!!! Disappointed "


"It has helped me. I can think more clearly but the side effect of my appetite is definitely increased. I already need to cut back."


"I wasn't able to poop for about 1 week my friend told me about the Magnesium citrate I drank the full 10 oz , I waited about 2 hr and let's just say everything that I had eaten about a week ago is finally coming out and  I can't stay to far from the toilet, the poops come out like water. I am using baby wipes. Besides that I feel better belly wise."


"I was prescribed Trazodone to help me sleep and for severe back pain. I started at 50 mg at bedtime and worked my way up to 300 mg. Trazodone helped me to sleep and definitely decreased my severe back pain. Within one to two hours I was asleep.  I awoke being groggy and uncoordinated.  As the day went along, the grogginess and lack of coordination totally disappeared.  I would awaken with a very dry mouth. My doctor even consented to my taking an additional 50 mg during the day to help with pain relief. I received no information about cessation. Withdrawal occurs with decreasing or abrupt cessation. A SLOW TAPER MUST BE USED!"


"When I went into labor I had to have a episiotomy got about 50 stitches and had a rough labor.  I was in a lot of pain after but I also planned on breast feeding. My doc prescribed tramadol 50mg. He reassured me it was fine with breastfeeding. The medicine definetly worked with the pain for me 100% that's why I gave it a good score BUT PLEASE mamas who are breastfeeding pay attention, soon after getting my baby home I noticed she was sleeping so much all day all night I would have to wake her to get her to eat and this was the only thing I could relate it too was the tramadol it was the only thing I was taking I IMMEDIATELY stopped the medicine and she was fine after that so please even tho the doc says it's ok I would def not recommend it"


"They have stopped making urised. Prosed was substituted and now FDA has pulled it?  I need something for interstitial cystits which is now really acting up."


"Improved my life 100% after struggling for 58 years. Noticed results within days. Now taking for over a year with no side effects."


"I started out with Vicodin 5mg to 10mg, than to a combination of oxycontin 40mg twice a day with the use of about 8 x 10mg of percocets in between the days. I tried to get off multiple times but as you all already know its almost impossible unless you enjoy agony and pain. I finally found 1 doctor on this whole island of mine that can prescribe the drug. Her directions was to wait 48 hours before starting, it was the weekend and I couldn't get a hold of her to ask if I could take it once I felt the withdrawals. I took it 10 hours after my last dose of percocet. I felt relieved about 20 minutes later. It was exactly 1 week from the time I started and don't need it. My advice, get off it in 1 week. Take my advice it worked."


"I have had the implant in for 6 years now. I am due to have my 3rd implant this month. For the first few years I rarely had a period. But now I have one every few months but very light and painless. After they are put in there is some bruising but nothing to worry about. Its the best contraceptive I have been on and I plan on sticking with it."


"I had sex with a condom, he took it off in between, and then put on another one. Ultimately, he came into the condom, but I was worried about precum. I think it was also the time I was ovulating. I took plan b one step 26 hours after and I'm 160 lbs. I got my period around two weeks later and have an irregular cycle. It was spotting for for like 5 hours that morning/afternoon and then I got my period normally that night. It lasted about 6 days, as usual. The only symptoms I felt were nausea for one day a few days after I took the pill, bloating, and really bad acne. My face has breakouts all over it and it's been almost 2 months. I just got my second period since the pill now that it is March, so it surely worked. bad acne though."


"I've been on the 50 mcg fentanyl patches for approx. 10 years. I've found out using the Mylan brand covered with a Tuff strip extra large size Band Aid (cloth or waterproof type) stays in place for the 3 day period very well. The patch is the same size as the cotton square on the Band aids."


"I have been on Zoloft for about 4 years now (previously on Paxil?). I have suffered from anxiety and panic as long as I can remember. I started with 50mg Zoloft once a day and that worked well. I had my dosage upped about 12 months later due to stress (major holiday, moving states etc). This worked great!! About 6 months ago I started taking 1 tablet every 2 days as per doctors directions to begin the weaning off process. This worked well for quite a while, but 10 days ago I went out and drank way more than I ever do. The next day I was hungover and the anxiety returned. I had not experienced it like this for over 4 years! I began taking the 100mg daily again and I'm beginning to feel better.For new users, don't give up! It really does help"


"I have been taken this for 3 months.  My  acne started clearing almost immediately, with only one break out about a month and a half in. I am currently acne free and ready trying to even my skin tone that is dis colored from scaring. I didn't have any noticeable side affects. I wish one of the other  doctors or dermatologist I have seen over the years would have tried this years ago!!!"


"-Not a very good one. Complained to Drs . About dry mouth,diarrhea, and numbness in toes. Tingling at tip of fingers.  They dismissed it as nothing.  The numbness has progressed to my foot,legs,hands,arms.  Have trouble walking without a cane because I loose my balance and have fallen many times."


"I was put on Yaz for my choice of birth control and mood swings. I seriously loved it. I felt great, lost a ton of weight, and my skin was perfect. First time in years. About 7 months in to taking the pills, I ended up very very sick in the hospital. My gallbladder ended up shutting down. All the bile was backed up, and I was taken into surgery very quickly after. Now I am off of Yaz. My doctor switched the pill and put me on Wellbutrin. While my skin is not clear anymore, I am feeling much better."


"I was just put on this medication..  my friends , family and myself noticed a difference.. I am on 25mgs 2 x a day and 100mg at  night.. helps me big time .. it helps me big time.. I don't have the heart.beating out of my chest feelings"


"I have been treated successfully for atrophic vaginitis with Vagifem for six years. Unfortunately, because I now have Medicare with supplemental insurance, I have had to get a month's supply of Yuvafem, the new generic for Vagifem, until I can get the brand Vagifem from Canada. The first thing I noticed is how poorly the Yuvafem is package. when trying to separate the applicators, the packaging covering the pill area broke open, and I ended up having to cut the applicators apart. Now I wonder if the medication is also substandard product. Of course, in the U.S., we are unable to tell were our prescription medications are made, where as in other countries, that information is available."


"I've been on Linzess 290 for a couple of weeks. It does work for me. I go at least once a day now, as opposed to 2 x a week.
BUT, it does make me extremely tired, and weak, and without much appetite.  I've gone from a size ladies 14 down to a size 4, and I keep losing. The doctor wants me to see a nutritionist, maybe this will help."


"These patches are a miracle.  I get motion sickness just thinking about getting on a boat, or riding a roller coaster let alone going round and round.  I used these patches on my first 10 day cruise and didn't get any motion sickness.  Even when the boat was rocking so hard that they put up caution tape on all the doors and barf bags on every garbage can; there I was chipper and feeling 100%.  The only downfall is the dry mouth, but it is worth not getting sick. I recommend it to anyone."


"I had mirena inserted Sept 23 2015. I have given birth full term 7 times, and the discomfort for me was definitely comparative! I wanted mirena so I could have sex without worrying about another pregnancy, but due to bleeding heavily for 3 out of every 4 weeks (to date it is now January 1, 2016) I have not even had sex because of the mess! I even have some spotting during the "week off"!!
I always had regular periods with 7 days of heavy bleeding, I'll be happy to go back to that. I haven't gained weight from it, but I fluctuate about 5-8 lbs from week to week. My hair was already thinning, but that seems worse, the texture of my hair is more fragile."


"I am 49 yrs old and was exposed to Influenza A. I knew I could potentially come down with the flu, so when the symptoms came on me at 10:00 pm, I knew I had to get on antiviral meds ASAP. Within 16 hours of the onset of Influenza, I started taking Tamiflu. I am now a little over 24 hours out from beginning Tamiflu and three pills in, and I am feeling so much better it is unbelievable. I had Influenza B about 10 years ago and was given Tamiflu, but I was at least 72 hours out when I started it, and it didn't seem to help me. I was in bed for 9 days with that one. I seem to have no negative side affects from this drug, and I really think I will be able to get out of bed tomorrow! Its amazing how well early intervention has worked for me!"


"Epiduo is the best solution I've ever come across for my acne. I am 30 and have battled with spots all my life. I was on antibiotics for 3 years as a teenager which made me very unwell and I believe caused lasting gastrointestinal side effects. This cream is amazing and should be tried first...combined with the pill Yasmin. I very, very rarely get any spots now and the scarring from previous spots is healing more and more. Would definitely recommend."


"I have been taking Atripla for little over a month. Like most of the comments on here, my numbers after 10 years of being HIV were starting to change. Within 30 days I was back to an undetectable status. I have had little to no side effects, other than the weird dreams from time to time. I consider myself quite fortunate that my body is tolerating the medicine well and I hope it continues to do so."


"Took the 4 capsules by mouth at once and within 40 minutes I am having CHRONIC stomach pain, EXTREME nausea and 2 trips within 15 minutes to the toilet with diarrhea. I rarely ever feel side effects to any medication I%u2019ve ever taken and this hurts like the dickens. I have yet to actually throw up but I am using all the power in me not to so I can make sure the medication stays in my system to cure the infection. If this does cure the infection like it should then it%u2019ll be worth it. This is the most miserable I%u2019ve ever felt, and if I throw up I hop, hop here comes bathroom trip number 3."


"This drug did not work for me. It was bothersome to take as you had to remember to take it 30 minutes before each meal."


"Overall, the medications I was prescribed by the doctors worked pretty well. I had an awful cough for a little over two weeks, constantly coughing up phlegm, and had horrible wheezing. It says online to try and wait it out for two weeks but since nothing was getting better I went to the doctors. I was prescribed the z pack, a 5 day dose of prednisone, and an inhaler. After about 3 days on the medications there was a significant difference. I no longer was experiencing cough attacks and the amount I was wheezing diminished. I've been off the medication for 3 days now, and a majority of my bronchitis is gone. I experienced no side effects with any of the medications and am overall happy with the results."


"On Sutent 5 months tumer has has halved in size, side effects are unpleasent but bearable. Hair thined out a bit for the first 3 months."


"I loved this. I'd didn't burn my skin or make it red and peel like some people said and it has really helped me a lot! I use it with another topical cream my doctor prescribe for me also its called Aczone and I use that in the morning and Epiduo at night. I first cleanse my skin with Cetaphil and it has really helped because it is a gentle cleanser! Anyway my acne is gone except for when I forget to use the creams for a couple days I tend to start to get acne, so do not forget to use the cream."


"I am amazed at how well Savella has been working for me so far. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia November 2008, but suffered 10 years before diagnosis...thought it was arthritis. I've been terrified to try any medications for it, because the side effects really scared me...pain kept getting worse, as my quality of life declined...doctor suggested Savella, and gave me a two-week titration pack. As far as side effects, I was pretty nauseous and sleepy, had zero appetite, and weird dreams...once or twice I felt my heart racing, but managed to bring it back to normal with some deep breathing exercises. After two weeks, I'm a little less sleepy...still not that hungry (ginger candy stops the nausea) and very little PAIN now...feeling great!"


"Used for 12 days.  Not a pound lighter.  5'6/150. Just need to loose 5-7 pounds for summer. No time to go exercise now: lots of physical work plus yard. Eat mostly salads and soups already, sugar too but not a lot. My husband was taking it too. No change. We both are active, usually go to the gym 3-4 times a week. I have mild metabolism and he has slow metabolism. It's very hard for both of us to lose a single pound. We did notice BM and I think I noticed more hair loss in me. Did take multivitamins plus calcium. After reading online about all the side effects, recall and bad experiences - I decided to put it aside."


"Just got the procedure done about 30 minutes ago. The most painful part was getting my cervix dilated and I have cramps on and off. I felt very light headed after the procedure was done and the doc said I was very flush. I'm 16 and have never been pregnant so my cervix had never been dilated, I think that's what sent me into a bit of a shock. So far so good though. I'd recommend getting it done if you can tolerate a moderate amount of pain for a while."


"So I'm on 20mg taken in the morning. To treat PTSD and OCD intrusive thoughts.
I'm on 20mg taken in the morning. I'm on my 11th day. Today I woke up feeling extremely anxious. Border of a panic attack so I took half of a 0.5 lorazepam to take the edge off. I do notice that at times my intrusive thoughts and normal ones just race going back and forth. But physically I am calm. I'm not breaking down as easily which I have noticed improvement. This is why I'm hanging in there. And giving this a chance. I do notice something that has heightened, and that would be my urge to run and be outside. It's all fed by my anxiety that's why I don't let it bother me much.
I have noticed that I am walking outdoors more often."


"One not enough. Two caused nausea and stomach bloating/cramps."


"My back pain was caused by continuously lifting heavy furniture the wrong way. There was no immediate pain from doing it. But I noticed weeks later, severe back pain that affected my ability to stand for a long period of time without feeling light headed from the pain. No over the counter pain killers helped. When my doctor prescribed me this, it immediately went away. The only side effect I've experienced is feeling fatigued. Like most medications, though, my tolerance for it has built up quickly. And when I don't take it, the pain catches up on me quickly. It's difficult for me to get out of bed if I go more than a day without it. So I'd recommend doing exercises/stretches and don't just depend on it forever."


"This thing was causing so many problems for me. I bled like I was hemorrhaging during my 10-12 day periods with cramps so bad I could barely get out of bed to take care of my children. I was weak, exhausted, beyond moody, and struggled with depression. Not to mention my anxiety going to levels I didn't know existed for me. I had Paragaurd for 2 years before reading about other women with similar issues and making the choice to get it removed. My reason for choosing Paragaurd was all the issues I'd had with hormonal bc, but the side effects with this was far far worse."


"Got switched to this one from Microgestin when I switched from my online pharmacy to Publix. Yikes! It wreaked havoc on my health: IBS, hair loss, loss of metabolic flexibility, low energy, weight gain (2 lbs, but it still makes a different on my 5'3" frame)... instead of enjoying my workouts (I'm a gym rat), I was merely going through the motions. My workout intensity decreased dramatically because it was too uncomfortable to push to my usual intensity. I was reluctant to attribute my symptoms to my new pill because the symptoms appeared 1 month after the switch from Microgestin. Still tried switching back and am so glad that I did. I am back to normal within a week. YAY!"


"Before I started it, I was MORTIFIED of it based on all these terrible reviews. Within 2-3 weeks women were complaining about hair falling out, suicidal, nausea, mood swings, heavy bleeding and so forth and so forth. I'm going on 7 weeks and haven't had not one of those symptoms with a slight exception of the nausea. I get nauseous probably once every few days. Sensation last for about a minute and it's gone. I can't even pinpoint the BC is the culprit. My experience with Chateal has been a breeze so far, and I hope it stays that way. So don't let these negative reviews steer you the wrong way. Everyone is different and it clearly works great for many, not all but many. Most importantly I'M NOT PREGNANT!!!!"


"Levaquin is the only antibiotic that works for me when I get either bronchitis or pneumonia. I take 750mg for 10 days and I swear by it. I've been taking it for years with no noticeable side effects.  I am now 62."


"took Lialda and was fine for 3 months. No bleeding and had normal stool. Then suddenly I had skin rash and acne."


"I smoked for more than forty years. I try every thing on the market to stop smoking. Finally my doctor prescribed Chantix. I took Chantix and set a date to quick. After two weeks of taking Chantix, I was free of smoking and have not smoked for almost six years."


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


"I started Celexa after trying many other meds for Generalized Anxiety Disorder.  I can't begin to say how much I love it.  It' truly has given me a life I never knew.  I feel so much better and things now roll off instead of driving me insane!  Best decision I ever made.  Really need to give it a good two months.  That's when I really noticed the change."


"The first three days seemed promising, then I began having anxiety jolts.  It was tolerable.  The anxiety jolts are constant and start around 1pm.  If I get stressed or tense the agitation kicks in. I can't tolerate it, I have two small children and you can imagine your patience is being tried anyhow.  My goodness I am wiped out and I get emotional after the agitation period. I stopped taking Celexa and began taking 40mgs Viibryd.  This morning I backed down the dosage to 20mgs in hopes of feeling better.  I tried calling my doctor today. I want my Celexa back. I at least wasn't having the all above. I wanted to feel better but Viibryd isn't it.  I can't imagine that it is going to get better."


"I had a near on full nervous breakdown, I had been months without sleep and suffered depression. What I do find is that if you are woken half way through the night then there is no going back to sleep. Having stayed away from home recently and forgetting to take tablets with me, I ended up staying awake all night long. Cannot sleep without taking trazodone."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"This was absolutely awful - Much worse than the colonoscopy! Tasted vile. Really struggled to get it all down, and after all that, it did not work properly. Had to get up in the night to change the bed!! Only started to work at 10pm, 2 hours after I had finished it at 8pm -  revolting preparation"


"I've been on Nuvaring for 6 years. I was on the pill before which didn't work for me. Nuvaring is awesome because I have a period every 9 weeks. Periods are easy. But it worries me being on birth control this long. It also has hurt me being on too especially. Kills my sex drive. I don't know if it has affected my weight or that was just myself. I've been on it so long."


"I took Lexapro for 5-6 years started with 10 mg then eventually increased to 30 mg. It worked great for helping me keep calm, and helped my depression and was able to deal with stress, however the more I had to increase the dose the more tired I got, and I eventually got to a point I just could not function, it took everything I had just to get out of bed then maybe 2 hrs later I was ready for a 3-4 hour nap. My doctor then switched me back to 10mg and added Wellbutrin that worked good together but when I had to increase the dose of Lexapro I got to where I couldn't function again. Lexapro is a good medication at a low dose."


"Works splendidly when first prescribed but over time loses it's effectiveness and one develops a tolerance to it's effectiveness.  Due to it's short half-life in the body, it peters out quite quickly ( /- 2 hours).  Would not recommend long-term treatment with this medicine (>6 months)."


"3 weeks on... no major problems at all. Trouble sleeping sometimes, but had that before Harvoni."


"This drug is heaven. I feel no side effects whatsoever. Just 37.5mg a day keeps my depression symptoms at bay. The only minor complaint is a lower sex drive, but that is a given side-effect with antidepressants in general."


"I was on nexplanon for 3 years and I had a bled for 3 weeks out of the month the ENTIRE TIME! I seriously thought something was wrong with me until I seen the reviews and how it effected others. It did keep me from getting pregnant but other than that I hated it and will never use it again!

"I started taking Yaz BC pills when I was 16 Years old. I am now 18 and still taking them and they have been a MIRACLE!
When I was 16, I had LOTS of small, red acne all over my face, I tried and tried and tried with many topical creams to help reduce it and make them vanish, but nothing worked. (Although Benzyl Peroxide did help my acne on my forehead, but my cheeks/chin/mouth area was still horrible).
My doctor prescribed me Yaz, and it honestly was the best decision. I started noticing my pimples vanishing after the first month of taking it. The only downside about this pill for me is, I am now 18 and have horrible mood swings. I get mad at people for no reason, and cry over nothing. After 2 years, I am gonna take a break from taking it."


"Horrible side effects. Felt like I was having an anxiety attack"


"Don't stray far from the toilet."


"I'm not sure of the dosage that I was on, however against my doctors orders I was doubling up on my dosage. It was helpful, but not nearly as helpful as other medications that I have taken. I have a job where I have to do a lot of heavy lifting, so muscle sprains are common and something that I have commonly been treated for."
