"It did the trick, I lost about 30 pounds but I was a crazy woman. Phen gave me short term memory, a foggy mind, I got angry a lot, I felt unmotivated to study.....and later down the line, I started to develop jaw pain, back pain, heart palpitations, and anxiety...all of what I listed are side effects of phen.. So please listen to your body. You have to get off the phen sometime so really concentrate on loosing the weight and developing good eating habits and do not depend on the pill as a crutch. If you do, it will surely be your down fall. It is easy to get caught up that way. For me it's almost like a double edged sword. I went from a size 12 jeans to 7 but almost lost my mind in the process."


"I've been on Adipex for 3 days now. It has totally suppressed my appetite. I eat a small breakfast most of the time in the morning. Then at lunch and dinner I have to force myself to eat. I eat fruit and drink lots of water. I also exercise with my husband so I am determined to be fine this summer. If Adipex hasn't worked for you then you are doing something wrong."


"Sleeplessness."


"I have been on Sprintec for about a year and a half now. Ever since I got on in I have had multiple yeast infections, and urinary tract infections. I've only slept with one guy (and still am) so it's not from him. Every time I get one, he gets treated as well. I never had one before I started taking this. I am very clean, and take a shower 2 times a day."


"Catapres does help with physical withdrawal. I am weening myself down on Duragesic From 50mcg to 25mcg due to the medicines withdrawal from the market. (FDA investigation stopped production around Feb 2011 and Johnson & Johnson has no OK to produce still.). After allowing the Catapres to work for a week, I dropped to 25Mcg with little withdrawal symptoms compared to the unbearable effects without it. You must try it and remember that its not a miracle medicine but a crutch to help you through what could have been a temporary absolutely unbearable experience. Some feel fortunate, blessed, rescued and saved."


"I miss Yaz! My insurance company won't cover the brand name now that it's got a generic (Gianvi). I was on Yaz for 4 years, and I had a great experience. My acne went away completely, PMS was more tolerable, my periods were short (3 days), and my breasts even grew, which I really like! The only problem was that I had to stop wearing contacts because my eyes got dry, but the drying effect only bothered my eyes with Yaz. Definitely would recommend!"


"This product is working pretty well for me right now, with the exception of one old bump it has cleared my face and arms up really well. I am very happy so far."


"Flomax works better for BPH but this med is more tolerable for longer usage and does wonders for PTSD!"


"I have been on Seasonique for almost 6 months now. I love it. At first I spotted, cried for no reason, terrible headaches, was very moody, achy, had acne (which I have never had, and I'm almost 20) and was tired but now it's great. Just take them on time everyday and DO NOT miss a pill or you will start spotting. I have no symptoms and do not have to eat with it anymore either."


"I first tried the generic for topamax and I just felt depressed. I've been on lexpro also for about 2 years. When I got prescribed seroquel I was nervous about the "tired" side effect, but my Pdoc said as long as I take it before bed I should be okay and might feel some fatigue. First week, I was EXTREMELY tired when waking up. I would sleep at least 10 hours and it was still difficult for me to wake up. I slept the whole night and fell asleep great, but WOW it was very difficult to get out of bed in the morning. I was told no not up my dose the 2nd week. After 2 full weeks I felt like a zombie. Yay for being calm, but I was too calm. No motivation to work, college homework, and I started feeling sad and crying for no reason. Not for me."


"Minimal relief of pain"


"I'm on Effexor 150mg. I was on 75mg but my doctor upped it as I was still not feeling good. Feel better now but don't advise coming off yourself as the coming down effects of it aren't good."


"I take the genetic version, Citlopram, 20 mgs once a day and I FINALLY have relief from really bad anxiety and panic attacks! I used Buspar before I started Celexa and I hated it. I wasn't suffering from depression so I didn't understand why my doctor wanted to push an anti depressant on me when there are other things out there for anxiety. She put me on the Buspar and it made me feel awful and just crazy. I gave in and started the Celexa and sure enough my doc was right; it's worked wonders! I sleep better, hardly any anxiety at all, NO panic attacks and I feel myself always smiling and having such a great outlook on life. I just feel... Normal and happy. :)"


"This is the first oral birth control I have tried and I enjoy it. I have been on it for almost 3 months now. The first month I had some side effects: I had mild Nausea, Headaches, and super Cravings for salty and sweet foods. I started taking this birth control to clear up my acne, I didnt see a difference until after the first pack. I notice a huge difference now, and my face is a lot more clear, but not all the way yet, but it takes time for your body to adjust. My periods have been lighter, and I dont get as bad of cramps. Recently I have been feeling extra moody and tired though which I do not like, but I will wait it out and let my body adjust. Overall I like it."


"I've suffered with fibromyalgia pain for the last seven years.  I just started taking this last week and have already been able to cut my pain medicines in half! For the first time in years, I had a full, active weekend!  What a relief."


"For acute tooth pain - Vicodin is the drug of choice. After having my wisdom teeth taken out, it worked great for my pain. I only had a popsicle afterwards and did not experience any nausea."


"I've been on many medications for over 20 years. Name it, I've probably been on it. Pristiq is expensive and takes a chunk out of my budget. No shopping, mani/pedis etc. I pay for the non generic name brand and have my life back.
I was sucidal less than two months ago after the death of my nephew. This medicine is worth every dollar."


"Took this for the first time today for a migraine and it made me sooo sick to my stomach. Severe nausea and crampy stomach pain. Will not take this again."


"Great works for me 94pt avg"


"The reason for the 7 is because I just started taking this medication and am getting ready to take my first 20mg pill in the starter pack I got from the doctor.  I took the weeks worth of 10mg and so far the only side effect I've had is bad night sweats.  I noticed a difference almost right away in taking this medication.  Things didn't seem so bleak, I stopped crying and started laughing and smiling again. I have a LOT of energy, and feel like doing things again. I am hopeful, starting the 20mg doesn't give me too many more side effects because as of right now I am SO glad I started taking this because it has literally given me my life back. I've tried Celexa and all that did was make me a zombie so this is GREAT!"


"Its a good medication for treating HIV never had a problem and it was well tolerable with no side affects."


"Lived with a severe generalized anxiety disorder for the last 10 years, last 5 years particularly full of anguish and "crippling" discomfort. Always misdiagnosed as a depression: been on SSRIs for 4 years with no success; also resistant to benzodiazepines. I was starting to believe I'd have to live like this forever until today! I got my very first dose of Lyrica (just a tiny 25mg) and after it kicked in (4 hours) I've been feeling myself, like I didn't since I was a boy! Layers of heavy bricks lifted away from my chest, and I finally feel like any human is supposed to feel. Today is undoubtedly the happiest day of my last 5 years. I feel lighthearted and motivated, serene and willing to restart my life like I was born again."


"Love it, been in it for about 3 1/2 years now....lighter period , less cramping....keeps me regular....I take it every morning with no problems.."


"I started taking Mucinex D a few days ago and since then my eyes have completely dried out. I've started getting severe earaches for the first time in my life, and I haven't been able to sleep. I have no idea why this is happening. I keep drinking tons of water but it doesn't seem to make a difference."


"I am now on my eighth day ,and besides the slight nausea and the frequent bowel movements throughout the day (it's not affecting my working and taking care of my son's needs),I think that I'm going to stick it out. I  was on the Enbrel sure click last year and because I caught an infection and my system was severely compromised, I was admitted to the hospital, in serious condition; so, no more Enbrel. I stayed clear for a few months after being taken off of it, but once the psoriasis came back ,it went rampant....please check back in a few weeks with an update"


"I tried taking Celexa for 1 month. The main reason for choosing this medicine over others was the cost - very affordable.  However, I was taking it for sadness, fatigue, irritability and anxiety and Celexa only made me more tired.  It did work well for the stress and anxiety, but I slept a lot.  I often fell asleep when I didn't want to.  I am now trying another medicine that does not make me sleep, but it is very expensive and does not knock out the nerves and stress like Celexa does."


"I had a toe injury and I took Aleve extra strength. Let me just say, this was the best decision I could have made. I went from not being able to walk in the morning, to jumping off a stage. I HIGHLY recommend Aleve. I have never been so impressed with a medication. I wish I could shoot a commercial for Aleve because they deserve it."


"Started experiencing menopausal symptoms 5 years ago.  The night sweats and moodiness being the worst, no sleep and then tired during day.  The doctor put me on the lowest dose of  Vivelle dot and compounded bio-identical progesterone, finally I had restorative sleep again. I also had normal bone density again.   After 2 years, I was having more hot flashes, enough to disrupt my day, so doc bumped me up to next dosage on Vivelle dot.  I would give estradiol a 10, but I keep paying more in co-pays each year.  "


"Taking 8mg Suboxone a day...a Life saver! Negatives for me are constipation and ridiculous amount of saliva build up in my mouth 5 to 10 mins after I place under tongue."


"I have been taking this medicine for sinusitis (300 mg twice a day), or however you spell it. It has only been 1 day so I have only taken it twice, spaced out between 12 hours . One at 7:18am and one at 7:18 pm. I have now been awake since 4 am with upset stomach , stomach gurgling,and my bowels are slowly turning into diarrhea. I only made a bowel movement once while taking this so far and I can tell it is about to go down if I keep taking it :( (I am normally vert constipated). As far as for my sinusitis,  it has seemed to improve my sore,itchy throat a little. I guess I should stick I out and drink plenty of water to see how i feel. I just do notttttt want to vomit . :("


"The first time I tried emetrol was when I had just woke up from binge drinking on a Saturday and was vomiting with no end in sight. My mom handed me the emetrol bottle and a spoon she said take 2 spoonfuls. Soon as I got through a wave of vomiting I tried the spoonful, shivering and gagging for the next wave of puking. by the time I finished pouring the second spoon I was a brand new man. I stood but up, victorious, I felt completely fine. Through all the sweating and tears and boogers on my face, I could run a marathon at that moment. Emetrol is liquid of the gods for nausea!"


"I have been suffering from migraine's since around 16 and now at 36 although they have became less frequent over the years. They are horrible as I usually am out for the entire day bedridden in a dark room. I have always been very paranoid to try a actual migraine medicine so have taken vicodin for the pain. I recently had a migraine at work and decided to try a imitrex my doctor prescribed me. I was nervous to try it but am so happy I did. I waited a few minutes of having the migraine before I took it but it relieved me of my migraine within 30 minutes. I did experience some effects like muscle stiffness in my neck, tightness in my face and a burning feeling in my nose and forehead for about a hour but I'll take that any day over a migraine."


"Overall, it has been a lifesaver, and my CD4 counts are up and Viral load down. It has come with some nausea issues. I take it right at bedtime without regard to food. I used to take it in the morning, but avoid food for about two hours. It can make you woozy."


"I have both an ulcer in my stomach as well as duodenitis (two ulcers in the upper part of my small intestine)--this was all discovered during my endoscopy. I was given this medication and am still on it...immediately I had dry mouth, mild headaches and that dizzy/vertigo feeling which I just thought were my sinuses acting up until I looked up the side effects. It's changed my bowel motions for sure, more towards constipation which then causes an upset stomach for me, mainly in the morning."


"I've had the Nexplanon for about 2 months now. The first month I had about three headaches a day, now I get about two a week. I've bleed for a month straight, got a break for a couple weeks but it's back again. I do get nauseous here & there, & my skin is a lot more oily but other than that I can't really complain. I do recommend  it became I know no birth control is perfect."


"All I can say is wow! Fantastic product I've had acne for about 20 years I'm 34, and nothing worked for me and at my age and still spotty its very depressing, then my doctor told me about Duac. I used it for about a week and my face went a bit dry so I gave it a couple of days and started again and now my face is completely clear and my scars have faded! If you have got acne then this is amazing!  I've never been so happy with my skin and I'm getting married soon and over the moon that my face will be clear for that. "


"After laser surgery for an anal rim fissure, I began to have excessive anal area itching for about 2 or 3 months, while using several well known ointments and creams.  The more I used them the worse the itching seemed to get. In desperation, I went to see my V.A. primary care doctor, and then the V.A.pharmacist; who prescribed this" dibucaine ointment usp1%" by Fougera pharmaceuticals.  Instantly, upon use, my maddeningly irritating anal itching disappeared, totally and completely!  I use a little bit in and around the area after every bowel movement and I at last have complete relief, and non-recurring itching of any sort!  I LOVE THIS!"


"I've had the mirena for about 2 years. Everything's been fine up until last week. It was a little early for my period, but eh, I've never been regular. We were running across the street and I felt something stab me on the inside. I'm pretty sure the mirena has moved (again). Since then, I've bled heavily for a day, then not at all, then I bled for a day, then not at all. It doesn't hurt. There's not even a cramp. It's just blood. I'm going to the doctor to check it out and make sure everything is okay. Just thought maybe someone else went through this."


"Best antidepressant I've ever taken bar none. I have been taking Wellbutrin for over 10 years and even though I've had the dosage adjusted over time, it has worked wonders. The reasons I like it is no weight gain, doesn't zap my energy, and helps me complete tasks. The only down side I have found is that it will keep me awake at night if I take it after 10am. I do take the generic version."


"When I first started taking Geodon, was very very tired all the time and pretty much felt like a zombie. Noticed a rapid increase in appetite and started getting constipated. Within five days, started getting twitches around my mouth and jaw on the seventh day my tongue swollen up, my jaw was locked and had a grape stuck in my mouth (which I was trying to eat). Ended up switching medication. Cant say my experience with it was positive - still have some mouth twitching even now and tightness in the jaw from it. If you start having twitches, tell your doctor IMMEDIATELY! Dont wait, it should be something they (the doctors) warn you about."


"Levora was great for me. It is the first form of birth control I have been on my period is lighter than it was. I did have some acne at first but that went away...it was no worse than my face breaking out around my period. I stopped getting headaches the week before my period too. I was having to take Excedrin as soon as I woke up every morning."


"For posterity, I'm currently also taking Wellbutrin, Trazodone, and I'll be starting Vyvanse soon. Past SSRI's include Prozac and Zoloft; Prozac worked great but then pooped out and Zoloft didn't do much of anything. My depression and anxiety have easily tripled over the past couple due to being sexually assaulted and the deaths of two very close friends. As a result, I get agitated extremely easily at work and feel extremely low and hopeless at home. I'm currently taking 20 mg Lexapro and I believe I just felt it kick in? It's like a warm hug for the brain. I'm not feeling irritable, I'm fairly relaxed, and I'm excited for the rest of my day. I feel like it's only going to get better from here."


"I do not recommend this shot to anyone! I have only had one injection. Had a period 3 weeks after getting the shot and period lasted 3 weeks. 3 weeks later I have my period again and it is going on 6 weeks now. Goes from dark brown blood to bright red blood. Light to heavy then back to light. I will NEVER get this again. I called my doctor and she said it is normal. Um bleeding nonstop for 6+ is not normal!!!!"


"This product has worked wonders for my red nose, cheeks and forehead.  Amazing!"


"Started Minastrin 15 days ago.... Hemorrhaging now.... If I could have give 0 stars I would have. This pill should be illegal because it's killing me, and others have experienced the same thing."


"Getting Implanon was the best thing I ever have done. I was bleeding almost every day for the last 3 years, they tried everything, even had surgery to try and see what was wrong. I'm 18 and way to young to lose those parts, so close to loss of hope I tried Implanon, and haven't bled since, this was life changing for me. The insertion site was bruised for a little bit, but nothing painful. I am so thankful for this I would recommend this 100%!"


"I was hospitalized for 2 months with partial paralysis and neuropathy from an autoimmune syndrome. I had severe pain 7 to 9 on a scale of 1 to 10.  1mg IV Dilaudid every 4 hrs during the early part of my hospitalization with a saline flush erased my pain in minutes without creating drowsiness, mental impairment, or euphoria. I was able to think clearly and solve complex problems.  I was switched to the pills after a few weeks.  Dilaudid allowed me enough relief so I could go to sleep without distracting pain and wake up in the morning without residual effects.  YOUR CONSTITUTION MAY BE DIFFERENT. I was able to stop cold turkey after 2 months without withdrawal symptoms. Your experience may be different. Follow doctor's instructions EXACTLY."


"My experience with accutane is life changing my story will literally change lives for the simple fact that I am a kid that lived the same nightmare each and every high school kid has experienced at least once in there life and the fact that I can share what I did and that it could help millions of people is heartwarming I wish I could post pictures because this story just doesn't do it justice"


"I've been on Effexor XR 150mgs for 3 weeks now and its really working for me. I've been on a few other medicines and never did the job. I was hospitalized for severe depression and suicidal thoughts. They gave me this Effexor and what a difference. I'm a different person. I have tons of energy and those things that bothered me don't anymore."


"It's good and helps very, very much."


"I've been using Epiduo for just under a week now, I've suffered with acne for as long as I can remember. On the first night I saw a significant difference and my skin improved quite a bit, the second night my skin burned majorly after putting on the cream, but i left it on because i'd read this was normal, and the next day my face just looked like it had been sunburned. I switched face wash's too - Cetaphil as it's non-comedogenic, this soothed my skin a lot. I've used it the same way every night and so far my skin is just breaking out more, but I'm hoping if I stay persistent it will clear, I've read this is the 'purging' stage! I will write another review when it's been 8-12 weeks."


"I had no luck with this medicine. I have tried a few different migraine medicines: Maxalt, Imitrex, Treximet, Fiortal, Indocin, Vicodin, and Percocet. I have suffered from migraines for 4 years, however I am able to recognize the signs before an attack. I attempted to take the Maxalt at the first sign of the migraine and nothing happened. On the other hand, I tried Treximet and had WONDERFUL results. Treximet is expensive, but if you have a healthcare plan that covers it, it works wonders (assuming you catch the migraine early). I am now on a daily dose of Topamax that has drastically cut the number of severe migraines per month ."


"I could not believe how drawing on the Nicotrol Inhaler felt like a real cigarette. I was able to finally quit by having this in my pocket and pulling it out just when absolutely needed. I used it for 2 days and that was all I needed. I had smoked for 24 years about a pack a day. I haven't smoked in 11 years."


"I have been on this pill for about 8 months and I am not satisfied at all. Ever since I started taking this I have been getting bad acne along my jawline and I have become depressed to the point where I had to start taking medication for that too. I haven't noticed any changes in weight; I workout almost every day and I maintain a healthy diet. I am 19 years old and I have no sex drive and I blame this medication for it. I am in a long term relationship and the only thing it has done good for me is prevent pregnancy. I hate this pill and I honestly believe that it has aided in causing the issues in my life. I gave it way more than 2-3 months to settle in and I am not happy. I do not recommend this pill to anyone. Stay away."


"I decided to have the Nexplanon put in after 5years of Mirena. Although I loved, I couldn't put myself through the pain of getting another one inserted. Everyone is different, and I feel there is an excess of horror stories about Nexplanon. So far I haven't noticed a single difference from the Mirena. Talk with your doc and see what is best for you. I needed a low dose of hormones because as I got older, the pills were making me ill. We tried several things before Mirena, and my doc said to expect Nexplanon to be the same. Just remember everyone is different."


"Listen this may put some minds at ease but if there is anything I have learned.. It's use condoms and get on the goddam pill as backup. Anyway I had to share my experience with "Aftera" which I guess is basically the same as plan B one step. I had sex June 12 with my partner. He pulled out but I started freaking out when I looked at my period tracker and realized that day was my most fertile day. Within 2 hours I went to the store... All the had was Aftera so I bought that. The next 2 weeks I had pregnancy symptoms. Nausea , head/back aches.. Fatigue, weight gain, cramps, and very TEnder boo sand nipples. I was nervous it wouldn't work since I am 340lbs. Severely over the weight limit.. But I finally got my period 3 days late. good luck all"


"I have just returned from a small operation. I watched the medicine being administered into the back of my hand and that was it. Next thing I knew I was in recovery.
A few yawns since I got home but other than that excellent experience."


"I have an unusal side affect to this drug.  It takes the pain away (YEAH) but it also wires me.  It should make me sleepy but it speeds me up.  So not only is the pain gone but my house gets clean too.  YEAH!"


"I am just on second day of starting generic Acifex and can not believe how great I feel. I have been in pain and diarrhea for a month due to taking multiple meds for a heart issue. Acifex has been a blessing!"


"I am looking for a jump start on my weight loss and my Dr. prescribed Belviq for 60 days. I started taking the pills 7/31/15 and return to the Dr.today 8/7/15 and have lost 1lb.
I was 360lb and now 359lbs. I only take 1 per day because I was afraid of side effects reviews I read.
I'm not a diabetic and have not had any side effects.
So far so good. And planning overtime to increase to 2 pills per day."


"I'm a health care professional myself and was prescribed Viibryd for depression and anxiety. This medication is by far the worst medication I've taken. I started taking the recommended dosage with the starter pack. I experienced all the side effects ( nausea, diarrhea, vivid dreams, zaps to the brain).  The worst is I ended up in the ER with a panic attack and these panic attacks have continued. Of course I'm off this medication immediately recommended by the ER physician and my personal MD.    There are too many negative personal experiences with this medication. Even though everyone reacts differently, there is a correlation."


"I have been taking prozac for 10 years. I find this drug extremely beneficial in dealing with my depression and helping to curb anxiety.  I am able to "function" better."


"I started taking Armour Thyroid about 6 years ago. This medication has allowed me to feel "normal" again. I have much more energy and have lost weight. I no longer feel weighed down or tired. I have the energy to do things and feel great."


"I've been in and out of alcohol treatment programs, and AA, all my life. My addiction wasn't limited to just alcohol though. I used about anything that I could get my hands on that would get me high. Eventually I ended up using heroin as my drug of choice, until I was introduced to buprenorphine..  What a change took place, this stuff is nothing short of a miracle in my life. I can now function better in all aspects of my life, without the fear of going back to alcohol or drugs. I can't say enough about it. The only problem I have is that I have, what my doctor calls, Venus deficiency (swelling of the legs).. He claims that buprenorphine has nothing to do with it, but it seems like too many people that use it, tend to have the same symptoms"


"It's alright for chronic pain."


"I've read a lot of reviews on this pill, and I agree with the reviews that reflect negative side effects. I believe every woman is different, and my chemistry doesn't work well with this pill. I've been on it for five months, and I can't wait to switch. I've noted breast tenderness, weird cramping, severe mood swings (laughing and crying at the same time while watching commercials; that was odd), my period doesn't occur in the normal cycle time, and I've gained a significant amount of weight. It probably works well with some women, but not for me."


"I took Adipex for 8 months and lost about 20 pounds.  I just started taking it again and am down an additional 12 pounds.  I am very thankful for this medication for I feel like it's given me the life I've always dreamed of.

The only side effects I've ever felt are: dry mouth, insomnia and I was depressed when I stopped taking the drug.

My results have outweighed the side effects on all counts.  I strongly recommend this medication to anyone who is interested in losing weight."


"My pharmscist auto refilled to this generic version.  I was spotting in between periods and an emotional mess.  This is one of the worst bcp's!"


"I'm 18 years old. I never been on any other birth control but the 3 months on Depo-Provera...I bled for 2 months as well as depression. I was PMSing the full 2 months. Caused problems in my relationship because of it. "


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have been on Pradaxa for about 4 months and have not experienced any digestive side effects.  However, I do not have a history of these problems.  I'm not happy though because my cardiologist is forbidding me to take ANY of my Celebrex now.  No NSAIDs at all.  I have severe arthritis in one knee (knee replacement in the other knee) and now I have joint pain that is getting worse.  I admit I have sneaked a few Celebrex in and the pain relief was immediate.  So I need to be able to go back to that medicine.  I've scheduled an ablation in a few weeks and hopefully that will do the trick.  I have never had any type of stroke and the use of this medicine is purely a preventive measure because I do have irregular heartbeats at times."


"I used to wake up every two hours or less during the night having to go to the bathroom (urinate). After taking myrbetriq, I now only wake up once. I get a better nights sleep. However it is very expensive."


"Within one week it made a big difference. My depression had led to blood clots. This pill worked, I did not have any side effects, great pill. "


"I have only taken Vraylar for 5 days. The first three times I took it at night and was able to fall asleep but could not stay asleep. Each night it was worse - like wake up at 1:30 am and never go back to sleep. So I skipped a day (don't ask me why?) and then took it in the morning. Hugh difference! I have slept so much better since switching it to the morning.That is the only side effect I have had so far. I haven't really noticed any difference in my moods yet but it is really early.  The only other medication I take is lamictal (past 8 years) which has been a miracle drug for me but doesn't conquer the nagging depression that never seems to go away. I have high hopes for Vraylar!

Use the drug coupon that you can download from their web!"


"At age 18 I got on the depo and I liked it. The only think I didn't like was that I had to go every 3 months. I have two kids. After my 2nd child I got on the nexplanon was on in for 3 years got it removed and back in. I'm 28 years old now and my weight is the same no acne but my mood swings are so crazy. I'm starting to hate the person I am. On top of that hair loss I had thick hair just a few months ago and now my hair is thin. Not only that but no period at all since I had it put back in. Now I'm not sure what to do. I know I want to get it removed but I'm not sure what other birth control to use."


"I have been taking nortriptyline 10mg capsules (6 capsules for 60 mg) every night before I go to bed for over 3 months now.  I was involved in a MVA collision by a drunk driver and I now suffer constant head pain. I now have Post Concussive Head Syndrome.  I was taking narcotics constantly because of the head pain, I do not have migraines.  I was able to be seen by a neurologist and because of the frustration and anger I had against the drunk driver, well the nortriptyline has help considerably in my head pain and also feeling depressed. The only side effect I am experiencing is dry mouth and sleeplessness.  I am now taking it 2 to 3 hours before I go to sleep. There was a couple of times I missed the doses and the pain was there again."


"After trying several other pills and combination of medicine, this changed my life.  I had Depression, ADD, anxiety. With this one at 20 mg, my depression is gone, my ADD is better and I can focus better. I can get up in the morning and take my dog out for walks, which was impossible before because of my anxiety. When I started taking this, the side effects were bad. I itched throughout, I couldn't sleep and I was nauseous all the time. In two weeks time that passed, but when switching from 10 mg to 20 mg, they came back. After two weeks the side effects were again gone. In a long term use I haven't noticed any side effects after the first few weeks. I think this is the best medication for me."


"This drug is one of only a few that actually works for my back pain. After having five children and five epidurals my back is pretty messed up. I've not used it for coughing but might try it tonight as I'm recovering from a cold that has kept me down for over two weeks."


"Used for 2 days and broke out on red bumpy rash all over my legs arms and shoulders. A week later still have bumps and redness. Have been treating it."


"This product is ridiculous...sure its easy but it is ridiculously expensive even with the bogus 'coupon'. My daughter still had eggs hatching after using this product and after reading all the information in the box, I found out that its not even SAFE ENOUGH TO USE IT AGAIN?! WHAT?! My doctor did not tell me that I was putting an unsafe treatment on my child's head. We went to see another pediatrician who suggested another 'easy to use' medicine called Natroba. Paid $15 dollars for it and it worked like a charm. I wish I had known about this before wasting time and money on this joke of a product called sklice. Ugh."


"It helps me I have nerve damage in my back, but it does not take away all the pain."


"This pill is amazing. It is what I always wanted. I have been on it for only about a month and I have already noticed rapid weight loss, my breasts have gotten bigger (b cup to c cup) my acne cleared up and I actually seem much happier. I haven't had any spotting, tenderness, or mood swings but I hear some people get those. I most definitely stick with this pill and I recommend it to anyone. It's truly AMAZING."


"Side effects were awful."


"Azor has been a great product for me. Two others just would not work for me. Azor gave me a flushed face and swollen ankles in the beginning, but that has subsided quite a bit now. Also have less urination too, but does not seem to affect my health in any way. Just make sure you tell your doctor of any side effects you get."


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


"I was switched to this when I moved from college and I've experienced pros and cons of this birth control. It is free (covered by my insurance) as to where my previous one was not. My skin is SO CLEAR now. And I mean not one spot of acne compared to before when my skin was breaking out all the time. It hasn't helped me too much with the pain though which is my only complaint. Overall, I'm partial to this now."


"Over the course of about 3 years I have been prescribed over a dozen different creams and gels, all of which were ultimately ineffective. A couple actually burned my skin.
For me Soolantra has been a revelation. Within a few days I was seeing positive results and after no longer than 3 weeks it had pretty much cleared up. I then stopped using it, and now occasionally rub a little cream in if I get paranoid(but I probably don't need to)"


"I have been treated for years for the seasonal allergy I was suffering. I used nasacort for three days and my problem has disappeared completely. I am so satisfied with the effect of this medicine that I want to recommend it to everyone who is suffering from running nose, seasonal allergy, itching nose and so on."


"I am a 47 year old male with seizure disorder/Epilepsy. I had my first Grand Mal seizure at 28. Since then I have been taking Dilantin 100mg 3 times a day. At first (the first 3 months I experienced unbearable side effects lightheadedness, etc.) so my doctor changed me to Keppra. The cost of Keppra was way to expensive so I went back on Dilantin. After several more months my body got used to it and I started having zero side effects . After taking it now for 19 years I NEVER have seizures whatsoever but I never miss a dose. 100 mg 3 times a day. I think it is a wonderful medicine and is very inexpensive."


"Started this medicine a month ago and I have to say the low dose of 0.5mg has changed my day to day life!"


"'I had sex on 1/16 the condom slipped off and we didnt notice till we where done. According to my period tracker I was fertile the day I had sex my ovulation day was the 20. I was totally freaking out. The next day I went to buy Plan B($54) I took the pill at 5:40pm 18 hours after the accident. The next week I had swollen breast, cramps and I was eating a lot I was scared that I might be pregnant. I took a pregnancy test and it show negative. . I was stressing out for two weeks. Till finally Feb 1 I got my period right on time. I have never been so happy to get my period. Plan B worked for me. I Hope It works for you too. Good Luck"


"Best antidepressant out there! 5mg was enough and still working great!!"


"I got my Implanon yesterday afternoon. I was so nervous this past week before getting it and it wasn't worth the anxiety. The whole thing took only minutes. The numbing shot did hurt a little but it was gone within seconds. I didn't feel them put the Implanon in my arm at all! I'm feeling no pain, my arm isn't sore but it is bruised. I've had no bleeding whatsoever. I don't know if it's too early to tell anything but so far my mood is normal (I'm always moody). I'm excited for the rest of my experience with Implanon (I rated it at a ten because the procedure was pretty much painless) and I do recommend it so far."


"Used for over a year and a slight improvement on big toenail and the two other toenailS no positive results. Extremely expensive also"


"Switched from Lantus to Toujeo. Same results. Not at goal. Then seas switched to Treseba. Tastings are more or less in the low 100s each and every day. Not fearing hypos like before and feel much better"


"Have been using soolantra for 2 weeks after an initial breakout at day 2 things have rapidly improved. At 2 weeks my skin is the best it has been for 5 years, I am not only spot free but the inflammation and redness is showing significant improvement. To early to tell if it will have any effect on flushing but so far so good."


"Hello everyone!! I had been suffering from  chest pain for about 3 years. I had all kinds of tests done and they all have come out normal. This chest pain was interfering with my everyday life. I started avoiding many things that I thought would contribute to my chest pain all with no success. My doctor then said that it was anxiety. He prescribed zoloft and I was really hesitant to take it. I have never been on an antidepressant and I was afraid. Well today is my 6th day on it and I already feel an improvement. I haven't had any side effects well only the 1st night I couldn't sleep but all is well now. I don't want to be on this for ever. I am planning on taking it for 6 months. I highly recommend  Zoloft. I am on 50mg daily."


"It works even if you can't keep it down.  My colonoscopy/endoscopy was May 16 2014. Eat light meals like rice and chicken two days prior.  The day before, follow directions - I drank Coca Cola (for caffeine and sugar), Orange Gatorade and chicken broth.  Drink the mix as directed through a straw and hold your nose.  It tasted sweet and salty and I could not chug it down - took 15 minutes to finish the prep mixture.  Then 32 ounces of water.  I had nausea, chills and stomach cramps, but they went away in an hour.  The second phase did not go so well - I threw up the mixture.  But it still worked."


"After years of trying different birth controls I finally hit the jackpot with this one. I'm 32 years old and I definitely went through my share of experiences with other birth controls but this one has been the best one thus far. No side effects for me, no nausea, no mood swings and loss of libido. Weight loss? I actually lost around 10 lbs the first couple months I started this birth control and a couple people I knew who were taking the same medication told me they had the same response. Glad I finally found the right one for me."


"I've been on Atripla for about 2 years with very good results!  The only thing that is slightly annoying are the food restrictions, which can interfere with going to bed when I want to because I work a varied schedule and sometimes don't get a chance to eat dinner until late and the way I feel after taking it varies too much to risk taking it during the day or early evening.  However if that's the only problem then I'll take it over having to take multiple doses any day!"


"My Dr. Suggested adding Victoza to metformin and Actos treatment for diabetes since my a1c levels were getting progressively higher and I am 100lbs overweight. In 5 weeks I lost 23 lbs. For the first 3 weeks I experienced nausea and extreme fatigue. I love Victoza because for the first time I feel full after eating small portions, I have a greatly reduced interest in food and appetite. I feel relieved that I can finally eat to live and not live to eat."


"I guess I am the black sheep amongst the flock. I took Daklinza and Sovaldi which made my HepC undetectable, but since taking those I have  a hand and lower forearm problem. Started on the hepC meds around May of 2016. Hand issue started May of 2016. I would get scabs on different places on my hands. Sometimes the spots would bleed...looked like severe dry skin. Went to 3 dermatoligists, a top notch liver doctor, my family Dr, and the Gastro Dr that got me on the HepC meds. None of the above can figure out what is going on. It is now Sept 2017 and basically the same symptoms are going on. Now I have a severe rash on the lower part of my forearms, so severe you could strike a kitchen match on them. No one seems to be able to help."


"Im 25 years old and 5 feet tall 160.8 pounds. In August 2014 I had the Depo Shot (worst decision ever). A year later and I gained 30 pounds.
When I was in middle school I was 160 pounds as well but in high school I dropped a lot of weight and was in the 120 most of the time until I got the depo shot! I have tried my regular ways of losing weight exercising, dieting, meal replacements, HCG diet and also Insanity. These all worked previously for me but not now.
I started Isagenix and I'm optimistic because I have 6 friends that all used this product and lost weight. I think it might work on me too despite of the Depo Shot"


"I purchased Alli back in 2009 (Great worked a treat and lost weight) and since I have had two more attempts in 2014, now 2016. The product does not work at all. This time I have been taking for over one week, I have experienced constipation and flatulence.

The product was purchased from reputable pharmacies and again i feel I just wasted my hard earned money. I am unsure what has changed. However, I know one thing the product is definitely not the same, I feel like the tablets are duds. No change to my weight, just embarrassing wind, stomach cramps, it makes you feel bunged up. no change to stool what so ever, not even if fatty food is introduced to diet. My advice is do not bother, I wont from now on. Hope this helps :("


"I took this medication for 7 years on and off. I would always try to taper off and be free of it but I always ended up going back to the point that I NEEDED it. I had side effects of being sleepy constantly, and gaining 30 lbs. But I did feel better overall. I've been off of it for a year now and debating going back on it."


"I have been on Reclipsen for about two years now. It does it's job by preventing pregnancy and I get my periods regularly. I haven't tried skipping my period yet though. Closer to my period I get moody but what girl doesn't, I also crave weird things while on my period. I started to get migraines, I'm not sure if it is because of the birth control however. I used to get then really bad about a year into taking birth control but now my migraines are less frequent. Like I said, I'm not sure if it is because of the medication or not. Otherwise my face is clear, always has been. I didn't gain any weight nor my hair didn't grow. I plan to keep being on Reclipsen but it can be annoying to take a pill everyday."


"I've been on phentermine 37.5 for about 3 weeks all I can say is I love it! Not sure how much I've lost so far haven't weighed myself but I've noticed a huge difference in my clothes my tummy looks flatter my face slimmer, I dislike that I don't get hungry but I try eating lots of veggies/fruits throughout the day. I also drink tons of water. There's a lot of negative reviews with people saying they gained all their weight back  more but let's be realistic if you're eating out the way you used to of course you are going to gain weight. This pill is supposed to help you change your bad eating habits, it works you just gotta put in work to! Hope this helped oh I forgot to mention I've had no side effects at all. Feel awesome."


"So I'm reading all these wonderful and not so great reviews about Skyla, what I got mostly is that you'll have mild pain if your not so lucky and major discomfort. I had mine inserted on March 7th and lord let me tell you, I have high pain tolerance (EXTREMELY HIGH). I took two extra strength Tylenol (800) and it didn't do a dang thing. Yes god I felt that plastic being inserted and when she measured my cervix? Yeeeeeeeeeesh the pain, but after that it was just discomfort. As of now I feel light cramping and no bleeding plus vaginal discomfort like I have a UTI. All in all, I'm not giving up on Skyla nor saying it's bad it's just the insertion that got me."


"I used this medication for over 25 years. It was very helpful for quite awhile and although I never abused it, I began experiencing rebound headaches, at which point I had to discontinue this medicine and am in the process of finding something else that works-guided by my neurologist."


"Been on Zyprexa 7.5 due to bipolar for about 8 months or so. It takes the edge off my anxiety and makes me calmer. I get very sleepy about 3 hours after taking it, so now I take it at about 7pm. Without it I had trouble sleeping as my mind would race and not shut up at night. Don't really know if it has affected my appetite or weight, if so just a little.
A couple of times I thought that I felt so good that I didn't need to take it anymore so stopped taking it. And within a week or so the bad feelings would come back.
Looks like I might be on it for the long term."


"Took for a bladder infection. Felt better after a day or so, but got extremely nauseated, even taking it with a snack. It also makes me so tired, all I want to do is sleep. I have stopped taking it and it feels like I am getting the same symptoms back. I am allergic to sulfa drugs, and this is what Doctor gave me. "


"Trying this birth control has forever changed my life. Each person is different and may experience different things however unfortunately I experienced the worst.. extreme hair loss. I have now been diagnosed with alopecia because nobody wants to own that this was the cause. DO YOUR RESEARCH before getting on this, unfortunately I failed to do so. I trusted my OBGYN and it's now put me in a very emotional and low place. I do not wish this upon anybody else."


"I've read a lot of the reviews, and I do relate to the shortened 4 days of real bleeding.  The remaining 3 days is light spotting, if that.  I used to bleed really heavily for almost 7 days and immediately after I started the first placebo.  I chose reclipsen b/c my last bc was causing melasma (pigment patches on my face).  I don't see that as much with reclipsen, b/c it's a low dose pill.  Other than that, my period on bc have always been less painful.  I don't know if I can contribute weight gain or migraines to this pill....too many other factors.  I think it does what it needs to with no side effects that I know of, and that's all I need from a bc.  So I definitely recommend it."


"I started on methotrexate tablets at first but they made me feel very sick so was put on injection made me feel a lot better. "


"I've been on Zanaflex for about 6 months now. At first it helped me sleep through the night but now I only get about 4 hours. I would not recommend taking in the day time because it seems to make you feel funny in the head if you don't go to sleep, and also have very vivid dreams on this."


"I have been on Contrave for two weeks, and am down 12lbs. It has absolutely taken away my cravings for fatty food, and also that glass of wine I craved after work each night! The only side effect I have had is constipation, but taking a stool softener has helped that a lot. This is the only medication I have ever taken that has actually done what the description says it should. I couldn't be happier with my results so far. It is a little pricey, but to find something that actually helps in my weight loss battle, it is worth it to me to cut back in other areas."


"I have mild asthma and allergies. My Azmacort inhaler is not enough at times, and the Tussionix gives me complete relief from the nagging cough that I find so exasperating!
I only use it once a day (and not every day) during allergy season. It's made my life much more comfortable during allergy season. Absolutely no side effects when taken once a day as I do. Worth every penny."


"I'm on the implanon so I can't manage to lose weight with anything I do but with xenical I have already lost 2 kgs in just 2 days, have not exercised as I am sick at the moment, have two a day with my two meals (lunch and dinner) only thing I stop myself from is snacking (which is tough), can't wait to continue with this product!"


"I have taken NuvaRing for one full month. I got one migraine headache and was very bloated for the first couple weeks. It increased my anxiety quite a bit especially when I was tired. PMS got much better. However my sex drive has declined. I had a very normal period on it."


"After reading many reviews I was skeptical about choosing Mirena. But after years on the pill, and heavy periods, I was ready to switch. I went in to get Mirena yesterday, and was very nervous after reading so many negative reviews about it hurting so bad for people that have never had children. However, it was just a mild cramp, and it was over.  I had more cramps that night, but it didn't last long. Now I am hardly spotting at all, and looking forward to the next five years."


"Hi.
I started this for Weightloss which exacerbated other health problems. In the last six months I’ve gradually gone up to 3mg per day. My weight was 155kg and  is now 130.6kg. I had some sickness at the start and slightly when I increased the dosage. It’s changed my eating habits as I feel less hungry and the amount I can eat has gone down. To be honest the beginning was slightly tough but worth persisting with, just keep the faith."


"I too have been taking Belviq a week.  I also use LOSE IT app on my phone and have a daily calorie budget of 1,330 cal.  I have lost 11 pounds and have NEVER felt hungry. And NO side effects!  It's been very easy!"


"I've just recently had 19 teeth pulled all at once and absolutely couldn't sleep at night. I was given 750 mg of Vicodin (Hydrocodone) and now I can sleep.  It takes the pain away but only lasts for 3 hours at the most.  I sometimes get a headache from it and have suffered from constipation.  All in all, the relief you feel from severe pain is well worth it. Do not drive while taking this medication. It makes some people sleepy and slows down your reaction time."


"This has worked very well for me for both chronic headaches and migraines.  Never had a single side effect. I get injections about 2-4 times a year, when needed."


"It was given to me in the hospital to aid in sleeping.  I woke up in another hospital bed down the hall.  It was empty and I was trying to get in that bed.  I had a heart monitor on, but I had moved out of my room, and was half dressed wandering the halls until I came on the nurse station.  Why didn't someone know I was having an issue, because of my disconnected heart monitor?  They put me back in bed and seemed upset at me.  They never explained.  I just took it once.  I was awake but couldn't see or know what has happened, or about to happen. Could have walked off a bldg. "


"1) Cleared my skin up within 4 months. Still occasional problem spots around the time of my period but it's a joke compared to what I used to have to put up with.

2) POTENTIALLY IMPORTANT: When I got to the last week of hormonal pills (the super-strength hormone loaded ones before the week of placebos) for the first 5ish months on the pill I found that I would be prone to existential emotional breakdowns or feel more anxious/depressed than usual that week. I didn't notice the correlation for an embarrassing amount of time. I was very relieved when I did figure it out and I wish I had figured it out sooner. Now that I've been on it for a year this problem has almost disappeared. Just something to be aware of for the first few months!"


"I just started the patch today and I felt so nauseous from it being on my abdomen that I had to move it to my arm. I ended up having to put a new patch on because the first one got ruined when I took it off"


"I have been taking Simcor for almost a year. It did wonders for my high cholesterol but caused significant hair thinning, so I stopped taking it. I know this caused it because it was the only thing I was taking and my doctor agrees with me.  He said it is a side effect of cholesterol medicines with some people. I would rather have my hair than low cholesterol. It is a gradual loss that takes a few months to show up. Afraid to try any other brands for fear they will do the same thing."


"I've had my implant since March '16. Ever since I've had it, I've experienced severe headaches that happen at least once every week. I haven't had my period since I've been on it which worries me because I don't know whether that's bad or good. I have gained weight. I use to always stay around 130-140 for about 4 years and now I'm at 170. Other than that, I have no cramps so this thing is an ok for me."


"I wish somebody had told me how addictive this drug is before I started taking it.  Had I known how bad the withdrawal symptoms were, I probably would never have gone on it.  (Although that might be a good thing, as I need(ed) to be on it.)  It has definitely helped.  The worst thing is HAVING to take it...literally.  It's a full-out physical addiction.  If we go somewhere and it doesn't get packed, I'm in trouble.  It's NOT something to be taken for short-term or seasonally.  Other than the withdrawals the main side effect is sweating.  I shower every morning and by mid-afternoon I have to put Kleenexes or some sort of absorbing pad in my arm pits!  In the past 17 years, I've also been on Paxil, Celexa, Prozac, Lexapro, and one other."


"I have suffered everything from obsessive compulsive disorder to bulimia to panic disorder to depression. Prozac (fluoxetine) has been my miracle. I have been on and off it since I was very young but have stayed on it regularly for many years now. It helped me back to myself and gives me the motivation I need. It saved my life."


"Have been on Xarelto now for 2 months without any complaints. I've not had the out of the ordinary dreams that others have reported. I am an endurance athlete and other than deconditioning from a forced no exercise restriction for 4 weeks, I cannot say that this medicine limits my performance. I must say I have had some very short duration dizzy spells on occasion, but definitely not the norm. My insurance required that Xarelto be preauthorized prior to getting it. So far I am very happy with its performance and convenience."


"First time I took MacroBid for UTI, after a few days I developed flu like symptoms, fever, aches and pains, heart racing, bronchial congestion. After the infection came back I took it again and only one dose brought back all the side effects and more. I went on line to see if I was alone and I am one of many with this reaction and worse. Thank God for the Internet."


"Doing great on this pill! My moods are even keel (notice moodiness near the days when you take iron but they are mild compared to the wild mood swings I experienced when I was not on the pill) and I don't get any periods anymore, ever. My doctor said this is fine and that this can sometimes be an effect of this low dose pill (great effect). I have not experienced any weight gain or loss with this pill which is key. Also, my skin seems clearer.  Try it out! Only downside to me so far is the cost, about $25. But seems like small price to pay for no wild mood swings and no periods!"


"I will tell you one thing, at 25 years I had thought I would have acne forever. My skins texture was horrible, blackheads, whiteheads, cysts at times that were very painful and worse..scars. I started taking 40 mg once a day, then alternating 60 mg, 40 mg and 60 mg between days. I noticed by the end of month three my breakout significantly declining. Then 80 mg a day. I can't tell you how shocked I was because and I know everyone says it but I really did truly try EVERYTHING under the sun for my acne. I wouldn't let anyone touch my face not even my mom. I changed my pillow case and used every oil free etc etc. End of month 5 and I NEVER have seen my skin so radiant! The side effects are worth it 500000x over!"


"Made it worse probably better off just seeing it through and eating healthy to prevent them"


"I am 58 yrs old. In my teens and early 20s I played sports and have had numerous spine injury's. So far I have had 5 spine surgery, Radiation for cancer. I have lived with constant pain that is unbelievable. My quality of life was poor to say the least although I have be very active in hunting and fishing sports despite the pain. This drug is a life saver, any and every drug can be misused, the government has the Doctor community afraid of their own shadows on this drug, but properly used for folks like me it has no equal. My quality of life without this drug would be zero, side effects are there but manageable. If you are living with severe pain, seek out a Doctor that with prescribe this drug for you, and monitor you for the side effects."


"Ok so I've been on this and I don't find it bad.  I had no libido before well much of one and now I actually do. I've had a migraine everyday almost and I feel like I'm losing weight as well. So I have no issues with it yet and I'm a mom to five kids and I'm 29"


"I had a muscle spasm across my back for 3 weeks. I took Alleve, Ibuprofen 800, Capzasym, Biofreeze, Ice, my husband massaged the area every night. All this provided very little relief.

I went to the urgent care doctor recently for a sore throat and mentioned the spasm I am experiencing. He gave me Skelaxin samples.

After the first dose I expected to pass out like I do with muscle relaxants but I was not drowsy at all. Instead, I experienced something pleasant - relief!"


"Because I had had stomach stapling several years ago, I found it extremely difficult to swallow the 2 pills.   The pills would get stuck in the opening and it would burn as it slowly did its time release.  I would throw up from the pills being stuck and after about a month, I stopped taking them.  I did not feel any side effects and I did not feel they curbed my cravings or appetite  but I also wasn't able to get them down consistently.  I had better results with Qysmia."


"I have mixed feelings about this medication. When you put aside all the side effects, it's great. It's doesn't quite put me to sleep as quickly as they say, but when I am asleep it is the best sleep I've had in a VERY long time! But sometimes I feel the side effects out way the sleep. If you have any kind of depression.. I would be very careful. The nausea can be very bad, my legs turn into jello, I can get very irritable, I don't have much of an appetite, and I have to take a stimulant in the morning for the grogginess. But even with all of that, I would still recommend this medication because it works. It definitely helps with narcolepsy and my cataplexy. I was very nervous about trying it, but I love my doctor for pushing me to try it!"


"I was constipated for what felt like a whole week. I tried Miralax, enemas, yoga, ileocecal massage...nothing worked! I was in pain. Super bloated. Felt like I'd gained ten pounds. I actually took magnesium chloride, not citrate...and about 2.5 hours later I experienced the glorious poop chute waterfall. So relieving. I'll always keep magnesium on hand from now on."


"I rated it a 3 overall for ME. It'a a 10 and  worked great for falling asleep, but I had the sleep walk issues too.  I read many comments about the sleep walking, cooking etc.  I also did this along with other crazy things.  I'm fortunate I didn't hurt myself or someone else.  I live alone and my point is DO NOT take this without someone else in your home."


"*Last update*...I gave these pills six months and that's all I could take. The last straw was when I started my period randomly while in Key West on vacation. I switched back to my Ortho Lo, but not before I went from 132 to now 153 in a matter of months. I'm frustrated, bloated and desperate. I hired a personal trainer, have been running, drinking a ton of water, eating only around 1200-1400 calories a day, and I'm not even exaggerating, I GAIN a pound and a half a week. Stay away. Remember when Caty gave Regina the swedish weight gain bars and said they were for losing weight, and then Regina ended up wearing sweatsuits everyday, but Caty said to "give them a chance?" IT'S THE SAME THING. These are mean pills."


"Was on this medication twice - both time caused urinary incontinence (have no prior history of incontinence)."


"Thank you to those of you that mentioned that Belviq takes more than a few days to reach peak performance. I guess when you think about it, since it works on serotonin, most medications like that take a couple of weeks to start really working.  I was on it 4-5 days and was still craving things and was mad. I noticed today when I got up that I was not wanting to eat until like 1:30 pm.

If you can say anymore about that, it would be helpful. thanks"


"I love the NuvaRing and it has no side effects on my sex drive or any other part of my life. I have tried the Implanon, pill, patch etc. NuvaRing is by far my favorite. I would recommend this to any woman!"


"I'm just about finished with the first pack, and so far I've only had mild side effects. My sex drive is now completely unpredictable, and I'm super emotional, both of which are completely uncharacteristic. I'm hoping that I won't need to use these for more than a year. "


"I am 65 and active, to include hiking, walking in the gym yard work, etc.. Been on 10 mg of Lipitor or generic for 20 years.  Within the past 2 years I have experienced increased lower leg discomfort and within the past year what appears to be lower leg muscle loss, chronic plantar fascia, leg muscle tingling, and a feeling of weakness in my lower legs.  My primary care doc, who is Lipitor intolerant, attributed it all to age, cervicle stenosis, etc.  Have quit Lipitor and Prylosec (been on this for 10 years) and will readdress with my doctor (who's an internal medicine doctor) when I can get in to see him again in 3 weeks.  Some remediation of mental fogginess which has plagued me recently, but to date no releaf on leg issues."


"I have been on this patch for a little under two weeks now and I just took the thing off tonight due to some serious side effects I was receiving. I haven't slept for 3 nights, even on 10MG of Melletonin and  my anxiety medication which normally knock me right out when I'm having a bad night. I have been completely exhausted and fatigued. Then today, I felt nauseated all day and then started chest pains on my left side that went from tolerable to severe throughout the day. I finally decided to look up the side effects of the patch on drugs.com and found everything I was feeling in the list. So I ripped that thing off, and not even an hour later I have felt 90% better. Better than I have in days. 1/10 would not try again."


"I had IMPLANON, implanted in August 2009. I had just ended my period and after I got IMPLANON, I didn't get my period of about ten months, then out of nowhere I got it. For months it was like that. I gained 20 pounds, I changed my eating habits and was even working out with no weight loss..It was really making me depressed..and I was constantly moody and easy irritated.. I was always yelling at my boyfriend for every little thing.
So Jan. 2012, I got it taken out, at the moment I am on nothing at all, I've lost three pounds. I'm not as moody and my boyfriend and I have been having better times. But birth control works different for everyone, give it a try!"


"I took Chantix for 4 weeks and actually quit after the first week. While it did work for smoking it brought a number of other problems for me. I was nauseous and did have vivid dreams but that was minor. In trying to get myself off this medicine I find I am severley depressed. Never having this type of feeling I was not sure what was going on. I leave the house to go to work and that is it. I find myself not wanting to answer the phone when it rings. I sleep for hours...before bed time...and have no problem sleeping all night. I'm very snippy towards everyone. My husband and kids are taking the brunt of this. How long will these side effects last?"


"I use 2.5/2.5% EMLA cream for electrolysis of my facial hair.  It does not work as well for me as others.  It reaches maximum effectiveness 8-15 minutes after application, and the numbing effect begins to wear off after about 30 minutes, so it works quickly for me, but not very long.  When I applied it 1-2 hours before procedure, as recommended, it had completely worn off by then.
Although it does help, there are areas of my face (around the mouth) where the pain is still quite intense, even with the EMLA cream, and I often have to quit the procedure early due to the pain.  I wish it worked better for me--good luck to others."


"I have had severe pain due to a few different health issues for years. I was prescribed Talwin NX and have found relief that I have not felt in years. I do not ever feel the need to up my dose because I'm having a bad day. My only problem is I live in a small town and it is running out and they can't seem to order it."


"I started taking this after it was recommended by a second GI doctor who performed a endoscopic ultrasound in an attempt to determine the cause of my chest pain (recently diagnosed as nutcracker esophagus). I had been on AciPhex for years with excellent results but Dexilant has been giving me a host of symptoms. My acid reflux has returned and I have developed severe diarrhea, gas and bloating that is resistant to all anti-diarrhea medications - both OTC and prescription. Hopefully I will go back to the AciPhex next week. I don't think I can stand this much longer."


"Sudden onset of seizures (tonic/clonic) at the age of 56.  6 days in the Neuro ICU & no cause determined (but I concede my sleep patterns need improvement). I'm on 100mg of Vimpat X 2 daily.

No seizures since. (Yay!) But 8 weeks later, 3 side effects. Memory issues e.g., I'll read books for the first time, only to see my own notes in the margin. (So it's not the first read!) That's very distressing. Repeating myself. Also noticed vision changes, as if I need another RX glasses, & (7 out of 10 in pain) headaches for the first time in my life. I'm told to give Vimpat 90+ days to 6 months to adjust. Crossing fingers."


"Very good medication if you have chronic pain. Have been on it a couple of months now, taking 30mg a day."


"I was put on this because I originally had irregular bleeding. Normally, a week before my period I would spot, have my period for about 3 days and be done. Since being put on Orsythia, I've already been fully bleeding for 2 weeks plus 1 week of heavy spotting before hand. Needless to say, I have an emergency OB appointment on Monday to get me on something else that doesn't make this condition worse than it already was. The only two things this helped with was the life altering cramps/body pains during pms and it also did not take away from my sex drive (though I could not even have sex because of the erratic bleeding).... I would NOT recommend this to my worse enemy."


"On 4th shot cannot not tell anything. Not worth the money. Better off to get a shot every 2 weeks ( a lot better) a least I felt better."


"I'm 19 and I've been taking Loestrin 24 Fe for 7 months now. Before starting the pill, my periods had always been manageable and short. I started the pill simply for birth control. Now that I've been taking the pill regularly, my periods have lasted only about 2 days and have been extremely light. I was just supposed to have had my period and I didn't get it. I took a pregnancy test and I'm NOT pregnant. True, being on birth control does give me peace of mind, however it'd be nice to actually get a period once a month. This is my only complaint about this pill."


"Had severe allergic reaction, itching, swelling of the mouth, trouble breathing. Never had an allergic reaction of any kind before. Never been that scared in my 60 years of life.  "


"Started champix on 23rd April, by day 5 I did not like the taste of cigarettes, but persevered (you know how we do)..... My husband smoked too and I hated the smell of his breath.  By day 10 I could smell my own breath and have given up on day 12, this is my second day smoke free and it is easier than I thought it would be, of course there are cravings but I am managing them.

Side effects I've experienced are slight nausea but it passes quickly, terrible flatulance ! And some very vivid dreams, slight headache today but I think that's the nicotine withdrawal.  Definitely worth a go."


"Had very bad side effects.  Caused severe mood swings."


"I've been on this birth control for 6 years now (I am 19). It has definitely decreased my cramps and pain as that was the original reason I was put on birth control. I work out often so I don't have to stop running anymore from pain. Now that I've become sexually active, my periods are always on time so I never worry. My mood is crazy but at the same time i have anxiety problems which I take a low dose of medication for and I went through middle school-currently college on this stuff so I think overall it's not the medication, it's me haha. I have always been very slender. I notice I always bloat and have a little belly that never seems to go away but it's not a big deal. IT CAN make you nauseous...but the trick is to eat a lot with it."


"I have never felt the need to review any medicine. However, I know I was super stressed waiting to see if this would work so I want to ease some others. I had unprotected sex with a random one night hookup and that night I did not take my birth control pill. It was 2 weeks before my expected period and I woke up the next day and took plan B within 12 hours after. And my period came right when expected! This worked for me and I know it works for many others! Happy bleeding!"


"This pill gets the job done in preventing pregnancy but the hormones made my body crazy. I took this January 6 with no symptoms until a week later. I had high blood pressure, really bad dizziness, nausea, hot flashes, a slight fever, and really bad breast tenderness. I spotted from Jan 15-18, at first it was brown then a small amount of blood but not enough to fill up a pad. I thought this was my period but soon after the spotting stopped my breast became so sore and big. I had prominent veins on my breast and all over my body as if I was pregnant, back aches, insomnia, anxiety, depressed, small cramps on abdomen, and all over body cramps. My period was suppose to start Jan 22 but it never arrived. It is now March 13 and still no period."


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


"This was the ONLY painkiller that worked on my neck. There is nothing like it. Thanks a lot. "


"Just take it, it will cure your STD."


"This is my first yeast Infection, my girl friends told me they used Monistat before and "it works wonders." My first day was extremely bad! I was burning which I wasn't even burning with the yeast infection itself. The itching and burning got worst after 45min so I ran to the bathroom and washed it off! Then I found this reviews and it made me feel better knowing there's nothing extra wrong with me. One thing I noticed the following day was that I wasn't itchy, I didn't even feel like I had a yeast infection. I decided to be strong and continue the 2nd day, so far it's been an hour and I'm happy to say I'm ok, no burning just a little itching but not bad at all! Thank God, hope I don't experience that pain again within the following days!"


"I was given azithromycin for a bacterial infection and strongly regret it. I continued with the medication for four of the five doses, finally stopping upon a call to the pharmacist. I quickly lost all taste and desire to eat food and became very drowsy. The next morning I was much worse. I could not get out of bed without falling over because of severe dizziness and a headache. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, I realized I had thrush on my tongue and a rash all over my body. This was soon followed by cramps and diarrhea. I wish this nightmare upon nobody, and apparently this reaction is not that uncommon. I wouldn't risk it."


"I've been drinking for about three years now! To try and take away the depression and anxiety. (I do realise drink is the worst thing to madicate with)

As I write this, I had just woke up on my back, vomiting.
Four day drinking session. Not a morsel of food past my lips. 25/30 cans of Guinness per day. I've lost the ability to walk properly. For several years now, when I stand up, my legs just buckle. I take diazepam too. They are of no help anymore! I was taken into hospital two months ago. Family had rang an ambulance. I had alcohol poisoning, and taken a seizure. Librium really helped with the withdrawals in hospital.
I wish any of you suffering all the very best! Alcohol dependancy is such a lonely road to walk."


"I have multiples issues: trigeminal nerve pain in my face/head, and panic attacks closely related to this horrible condition that have led to a lot of very unfortunate circumstances. I have been on it before (20 years ago). I avoided since it because it's a benzo, but if I don't get treated successfully, I believe, as does my therapist, my prognosis is poor. I encourage all to try all other pathways; only if they fail should you consider klonopin. Unrelenting anxiety and panic attacks are not acceptable in my circumstances."


"I was put on micronor 4 months ago because I had headache with previous pills. I am about ready to stop this also last month I had break through spotting for 2 1/2 weeks. This month 4 days prior to the end of the pack I developed abdominal cramps I mean really bad and a lot of breast tenderness now I've been bleeding very heavy with terrible cramps for 3 days . This is the worst!!! Confused"


"NOT FOR EVERYONE.

I am very, very overweight and have struggled with food addiction. Contrave has been a vital support to me in helping break that addictive behavior pattern.

It will not make you lose weight by itself. You must make healthy food choices, control portions and consistently eat less calories than you burn while keeping your metabolism from going into starvation mode.

Exercise will help you if you need to build lean muscle mass, but it doesn't really "burn" enough calories to be useful as a weight loss tactic. It does enhance your sense of well being and accomplishment. I recommend moderate exercise to everyone who wants to feel better.

Contrave + sensible diet +  consistent follow through = success!"


"Ceftin is the only antibiotic that cured my Lyme Disease after trying others.   I have been symptom free for many years now.  I took it for 6 weeks."


"I have been on some form of SSRI medication for 14 years. My last experience was with Zoloft. I was on it for a year and it made me eat to much, smoke to much and I wanted to sleep all the time. I gained about 10lbs on it. After doing some research I told my Dr. I wanted to try Wellbutrin. I've been on it for three weeks, I quit smoking, have lost weight and feel like the energizer bunny. I am more focused as well. I'm actually feeling emotions. Looking back Zoloft made me feel like a zombie. Wellbutrin is a miracle for me, I feel like myself again. Just wished I tried it years ago."


"Tried quitting cold turkey and was so grumpy had to decide between quitting or my marriage, chose marriage. Tried Zyban, quit after 10 days, been a month and have not had any sign of grumpiness, withdrawl or anxiety. I call them my magic pills"


"I have had daily hives from June 2015 until October 2015, Despite prednisone and mega dose of Anti-Histamine, my hives kept coming every single day. I started xolair in October 2015 and took my first 150 ml shot in October 30, 2015, then In November27, 2015 and then in December 23, 2015. Unfortunately after my 3rd shot and on Christmas day, my hives came back with vengeance and I kept having them daily. The in January 13, 2016, I took 2 shots (300 ml) and still nothing. My hives have been getting worse on a daily basis. I am due for 2 shots next week again. I hope it will work out. Did anyone experience that? Xolair works for couple months then stopped working? Do you think it will work again after few more shots?"


"If you have a teenage daughter with acne, this is the answer. It was amazing. My daughter went from having inflamed acne all over her forehead to perfectly clear skin. It worked gradually and she does not take the placebo. Acne was gone in a few months. She also feels perfectly fine otherwise."


"Well the 1st time I had it it was great! 3 years without a period!! This time.. Well I've been on a constant period which is heavy causing me to feel faint and dizzy and gained weight (in which I am loosing finally) I think it's just shear luck as to whether it actually suits you. I'm having mine out soon and going on the patch. Great birth control as you can't do anything anyway! "


"Was diagnosed July 2012, went on meds March 2013, VL 57,000, CD4 502. After 2 months became undetectable, now 5 months later I am undetectable and CD4 is up to 950.  My body feels better, and I have had much more energy.  Only side effects are occasional diarrhea, although I am not sure if that is from the medication.  Only hassle is the food requirement, but it is a small inconvenience considering this medicine is saving my life."


"This drug has multiple uses. I was prescribed it for social anxiety, as a replacement for the clonazepam (Klonopin) I had been taking for several years. It has very mild but noticeable effects. It sort of grounds you and keeps you calm, but not in a drugged out way. It also helps you sleep soundly. And for me, it gives my lower back a break of sorts from the constant spectrum of pain and discomfort. This is a kind of miracle drug in a way. I would suggest not drinking more than one alcoholic beverage if taking more than 300mg at a time, because you might get a little loopy. But it won't make you dizzy and want to vomit like oxycontin or percocet. Potential for abuse exists in my opinion, so talk with your doctor about a treatment regimen."


"This is 2nd year on Lutera. I was on Aviane before but it was no longer carried in my pharmacy. They are essentially the same thing and I experienced no side effects or changes when I switched. For the first two months of Aviane I was emotional. But afterwards I was completely fine. I had no physical or emotional changes. And have had no side effects or changes after changing to Lutera."


"I had sex with my boyfriend on 2 & 3 May with pull out methods, but my boyfriend said he didn't cum inside of me, then 3 May at 4 pm ( 21 hours later) iItook postinor 2.
 The next day on 4th my boyfriend had ejaculate right inside of me (fertile period) ok I know that was stupid, so I took postinor 2  again on 5 May (12 hours later), the day after took postinor I felt tired, sleepy, and exhausted. A week later I got cramps, sore breast, and nausea. Same like pregnancy symptoms!!! Two weeks waiting was so anxious and stressful,  My due date period was 15 May. I took pregnancy test on 15 and 17 May, the result was negative. And now 18 May I got my period!!!  (3 days late) Relax guys, I've taken this pill twice in February and this months. And it worked!! But def time to get some other contraception sorted!"


"femhrt took away my hot flashes within a week but the acne was unbearable. Stopped taking it."


"I am 17 years old, 5'1, and 125 pounds when I was originally 105lbs. I started taking Lutera almost exactly 1 year ago. It was my first birth control and the reason I was getting it was because my periods were horrible. There would be days I couldn't go to school because I had to change my pad every couple minutes. Also I planned on being sexually active once it started kicking in. I became sexually active about 3 or 4 months later and it is great with protection. I gained a LOT of weight. I expected to but not this much. It's made me have very low self esteem. ALSO I don't know if it just me or the pill but even though I have been sexually active, it's impossible to have an
orgasm. I want to switch because of the weight gain, but I'm too scared."


"Been on this medicine for a while now and its been a God send. Tried Vesicare at first but that didn't work."


"I take 300mg. It's been 5 years. I was on higher doses, once up to 900 mg. My delusions never went away, but I can control my thoughts better. I think of something delusional, but I don't follow the train of thought. Since I started a serious relationship 2 years ago, I have been working on my anger and paranoia that he would hurt me. It's harder to control my emotions. Right now, I have a outrageous story in my head about him, but after reading the posts on this website, I know these feelings aren't new. I've felt them with my own family. I'm going to a National Alliance of Mental health Illness (NAMI) meeting soon to get support about how lonely it can feel to be exhausted. I pray in the morning to help my negative feelings and meditate at night to be present."


"Elavil helped immediately."


"I have had migraines for 31 yrs beginning after hysterectomy.  I average 16 migraine days every month that last from 4 to 72 hrs.  I've tried every treatment except Depakot, which I refused because of the lasting bad side effects.  I had the first of 3 Botox treatments in last month and had 11 days of migraines.  Was hoping for less.  My eyelids are droopy, vision blurred in right eye, and just now am able to raise my eyebrows just a little.  I've read that these side effects go away by the time I get the next treatment.  If it affects my eye sight every time, and I still have this many migraines, I'm questioning whether to continue treatments. "


"Had a horrific cough and very bad sinus infection on day 2 I went to the ER due to problems breathing , Dr prescribed Tessalon & Antibiotic . I have been taking the Tessalon 100 mg for 3 xs a day and it has stopped the cough some , but still very congestited and feeling very little relief on that part."


"I had minimal results. My doctor indicated since this is a TNF blocker, my TNF's are already blocked so she decided to place me on another medication. I could feel immediately the response after the injection, but with minimal results. This was such an easy drug to use."


"I have been taking the 1200mg for about 5 days now (every 12 hours as directed). I have had NO side effects. My body is very sensitive to certain types of medications, but this has only helped me. I started out with a bad cough and chest cold. After taking Mucinex for a couple of days I noticed the coughing decreasing. I now have a stuffy nose/sinus pain- but it also has helped with the congestion."


"Severe constipation"


"Wait it out! I'm a 32 yr old female that began suffering from adult cystic acne just over a year ago. For some reason, only the right side of my face really broke out and the acne was deep and painful. After using Epiduo for the recommended 3 months, I wasn't seeing results. The itchiness and peeling stopped after only two weeks of using it so I thought the product wasn't even working for me at the 3 month mark. I stuck with it anyway and now at 4 months, I have no more active acne and my skin is baby smooth! The down side to this med is that it caused post inflammatory hyperpigmentation which takes time to fade. But I'm happy that until then, my feels good and there's no more acne!"


"I've had a few UTIs recently and the antibiotics has worked every time but this time I was prescribed Macrobid and after one pill I felt pretty horrendous. The symptoms of my UTI went away but it was replaced with really scary symptoms. I took the second pill not thinking it was side effects considering I've never had a bad experience with an antibiotic but woke up during the night feeling like my breathing was so heavy I wasn't sure if I'd need to go to hospital. The headache was unreal, I ached all over and walked about feeling like I was going to fall down any minute and like I was drunk or something. Called the doctor who told me to get an antihistamine and not take another. I felt poisoned! Still not fully recovered."


"Just had my 8th colonoscopy. Previously always had Vicodin, etc sedation and woke up feeling great - hydrated, hungry, ready to get on with my day. No problems at all. Anticipating feeling fine after procedure would get me through the prep! Unbeknownst to me, my doctor now has a nurse anesthetist administering propofol during procedure. Woke up nauseated (despite IV Zofran), feeling dehydrated and somewhat disoriented. Ate very little, no appetite. Slept 5 hours and woke feeling like my face was on fire. Also headache, grogginess, no appetite. I will take my chances with my high risk GI issues. I will NOT have another colonoscopy with this anesthetic. These are not truly serious problems but they are 100% unnecessary."


"I was on xulane for about a year and it seemed to work well for me. After deciding to go off of it in February to see if my bleeding had gone to normal, everything was thrown off. I've gotten my period about twice since then at very weird times and that was only in the beginning. It is now July and I haven't had a period since April and I am not on any form of contraception. Not having a period would be nice and all, but I still experience PMS, mood swings, and extremely bad cramps; yet not bleeding at all. I guess this would be okay if you're not planning on getting pregnant soon after going off (I'm not considering that for quite a few years)."


"I have been taking Nora-Be for a year now and have noticed the following side effects:
1. I never knew when I will have my period. On this birth control, it seems to be every 3 months.
2. I have gained about 10 pounds even though I have maintained my normal level of physical activity and diet. Before starting BC I have maintained the same weight for a number of years, and so the weight gain is not welcome.
3. I have experienced minor vision problems. Mostly my eye sight is blurry and sometimes I have difficulty focusing.
4. My breasts have increased in size (probably due to the weight gain). Though I can not really complain about the larger breasts, they are fairly tender-- sometimes uncomfortably so."


"Paxil worked well for the first few months and then stopped.  My doc upped my dose and the same thing. I took it for 6 months from half a tab to two tabs a day. I gained 15lbs and became more depressed and lazy to the point that I wouldn't get out of bed. I also had side effects of agitation, vivid dreams, and problems concentrating.  It did not worked great at first but is not for me. "


"Treated for BV last Friday - prescribed Metronidazole 500mg 2x day x 10 days. Friday afternoon first dose, only metal taste in mouth. Friday evening insomnia for 2.5 hours, no other symptoms. Saturday 2 doses, 3 hrs insomnia. Sunday 2 doses, 3 hrs insomnia. Monday am, 1 dose & dizzy, burning throat, stomach pain, diarrhea, jittery, felt coo-coo, headache, left work for the day. Was going to quit taking cuz I read every single post (during my cumulative 8.5 hrs insomnia) about how wicked this drug is including 'long-term use of Metronidazole has caused cancer in mice and rats'.... as well as the MASSIVE alarming list of side effects. I decided to cut 500mg in half & have been absolutely fine, no insomnia last night. So 250 mg 2x day."


"Not really sure. Had a cortisone shot first which did nothing. I then tried the synvisc one. I really didn't have much pain from the injection. I still have pain but it's not as bad as it was. It's been about a week and a half since I've gotten it.  From what I've read it may take Month to get full relief. Will report back later."


"I've been on this medicine for 10 yrs now and have my seizures under control with 1200 mg a day a neurologist placed me on it after trying Dilantan and Depakote. I didn't realize it could be helping my anxiety and restless legs and migraines. I had terrible headaches before I was on gababentin and now have all these things under control. I did gain 30lbs when we added a antidepressant."


"It will keep you from getting pregnant but get ready for a long cycle.I took this pill and was on my cycle for one month."


"I took Vioxx until it was taken off the market and have taken Celebrex for the past 7 years. My orthopedist has had me taking these for the past 10 yrs and my family doctor wanted me to try Meloxicam. I been taking it for 3 months and, not only does it work a lot better but it's cheaper I'm having both knees replaced in January but I wish I had known about Meloxicam. "


"Six months ago I (57 yr male) was severely depressed, difficult to think, difficult to move.  My doctor put me on 40 mg fluoxetine daily, with 0.5 mg clonazepam for the first 30 days.  After five days I felt the drugs were overwhelming.  I was having a lot of anxiety with hypertension and tachycardia and felt really out of it.  I cut the dosage in half (taking the fluoxetine every other day).  By about four weeks in I was doing much better, able to think and move again.  About four months in, however, I started getting the blood pressure spikes and rapid heartbeat again and just generally felt overstimulated, so I asked my doctor for the 20 mg size, and he agreed I could take it once every other day if daily was too much.  This has worked "


"I suffer from panic attacks and anxiety. I have been prescribed different antidepressants such as Zolof, lexapro, efexor.. which only made me sick.
I tried st john wort and within 3 days I noticed the difference. After a week I felt like a new person.
They are great, cheaper than antidepressants, you can get it from any pharmacy and they are natural. I would recommend it to anyone who suffers from anxiety, depression or has panic attacks.
It also helps if you take additional supplements such as magnesium or calcium."


"I tried this for two months and I cannot take it anymore. The only reason I wanted to be on birth control was so I could know exactly when my period would start, without the pill I would never be consistent.  I tried Lo-Estrin24, which caused me to spot and so my doctor thought I needed something a little stronger, so she prescribed me this. Since I have been on it, my mom and I got in a huge fight causing us not to talk for 2 weeks, I isolated my friends and got emotionally attached to a guy, which never happens and I have been eating like crazy.  My breasts are huge, weight increased and I was nauseous for a week straight, not to mention the whole point of me taking this was to know when my period was, well I never started when the pill said I should."


"I just started Contrave and Friday will be my first full week. Day one started out a little scary but that was to be expected because I didn't know how my body would react to this medication. Well let me just say to everyone AWESOME SAUCE! So far I feel wonderful. I use to take phentermine and it just had me all over the place. I started drinking more alcohol which made me gain more weight. With Contrave I don't drink anymore alcohol (literally I don't crave it) no more sweets and I have a much better mood going on which is awesome! I lost already, not even being being my full week around 4 lbs. Which is great! I don't want to eat on contrave but I have to force myself. I will continue my follow next week"


"I have taken this antidepressant for as long as it has been on the market. It was and remains the only antidepressant that works for me. It has almost zero side effects when compared to the Tri-cyclics, SSRIs and SNRIs that I tried before this drug. It is in a class by itself and unfortunately will probably remain so. This antidepressant gave me back my life, calmed my panic attacks and even helped with social phobia. It is too bad that it has been given such a bad rap that it is hardly prescribed anymore."


"I have been using this for almost 3 years. Better control of symptoms- I can usually use 1puff 2x a day except when I get a bug then I need the prescribed 2 -2x a day. However last 2-3weeks I have a very medicine tasting phlegm/exhaled air. "


"I am in the 9th month of taking this medication, and I don't have anything bad to say about it at this point. It has definitely done its job as keeping me from getting pregnant. My acne was also bad around my nose and chin before I started Previfem, but my skin is very clear and my period cramps aren't nearly as bad as they were before. They are also lighter. The only bad thing about this pill was that it made me very moody in the beginning."


"This is very effective. Sometimes, I only take half of one. Just remember to stop taking it about 6 hours before bedtime. Cheaper than energy drinks loaded with sugar. Easier on my tummy than coffee and it doesn't stain my teeth like colas. Caffeine is a diuretic so drink plenty of water to make you feel better all day."


"I've been on this birth control for a two months now & have experienced almost zero bad side effects. I have lost my appetite most of the time, which has resulted in me losing a little weight, which can be considered a negative or a positive. I have been getting angry very easily since
I've been on this medicine but I've always had issues with my anger so it isn't a huge difference. My skin has actually cleared up and I do have sex with my boyfriend without condoms sometimes and we have not gotten pregnant or had any pregnancy scares. I would recommend this even though everyone reacts to birth control differently!"


"My experience has been horrible, headache, constipation, severe heartburn to the point I could not eat for two days after having injection, extreme body aches for days, basically this drug put me in bed for the first two days after having injection today is 3rd day, I can finally eat and get up using a cane as the aches in my joints and muscles are so severe. My resting heart rate has also been above 100 since taking med. I cannot wait for this to be out of my system!"


"I had an immediate reaction to the medicine; passing out, loss of time, nausea, etc. It took 3 days for the drug to be expelled from my system."


"Bad bad bad. I have taken this pill for 9 months now my acne has gotten worse I have gained about 15 pounds my cramps are worse and I'm very emotional. My boobs hurt all the time, my sex drive has lowered and after I finish my 7 day period I have 6-7 days of spotting. And my cycle is all messed up."


"Started on 100mg of Augmentin for Sinus infection. Cleared up sinuses well but had severe diarrhea. I wasn't concerned by this considering it's the common side effect but I just took my last dose, not four hours later I threw up twice and had more bowel movements. This medication was not for me."


"I'm on my 6 or 7 th attack of what the surgeon says is complicated/ uncomplicated diverticulitis in 4 months!!  Back on the cipro & flagyl again for 14 days and I  literally feel like I'm dying.
I see the surgeon again on Friday. I  am so scared to have the surgery. I keep hoping this is the last attack but it seems like every 2 weeks off for the antibiotics another attack. I can't keep living like this....."


"Saved my Job..I'm a truck driver so I spend a lot of time in a truck and it gets really depressing being away from the family for weeks at a time but Xanax helps me cope with the situation and this is the only medicine I've found that wont make me tired and drowsy, unlike Zoloft that made me so tired I had to take two days off work. Xanax helps me relax and gives me focus so I can deal with my work situation."


"I have suffered 4 bouts of benign positional vertigo in the last ten years. It comes on without warning. I always carry Meclizine with me.I get it over the counter. It helps, but it still takes me anywhere from a week to a month to get over the vertigo. At the beginning of the vertigo I take a 25 mg.tablet every 24 hours, but it makes me very sleepy and tired and "hung over"....but I'm able to get out of bed and do things. As the vertigo subsides, I take 1/2 of a tablet once a day and that seems to have fewer side effects. The only thing I've found that really cures the vertigo over a couple of weeks are the exercises I do 3x a day. Got them from a physical therapist. Along with the Meclizine, I seem to eventually get better."


"I've dealt with many periods of depression in my life, but I hit an all-time low a year and a half ago culminating in a suicide attempt. This medication helped me get back on my feet. I started with a low dose (25mg/day-I'm small and female) and have slowly increased to the normal dosage my doctor prescribes for adults (50mg/day). I went off of it for two months after five months of taking it and fell back into depression. Went back on it and have been fine since. I don't think I will stop again for a while. Only problems are occasional insomnia and inability to orgasm anymore."
