Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This is by far the best colon prep I've used having undergone 3 other colonoscopies. I drank the first dose in about 5 minutes and the second one in less than 10 minutes. Using a wide straw sure helped get it down easier. The first time I had to get to the bathroom in about 40 minutes and the second dose in about 30 minutes from first drinking. I was totally cleaned out by the time I had my colonoscopy which went very well - no polyps, just the diverticulosis, which I knew about from prior scopes of the pipes.

Good advice-have baby wipes handy. The ones with aloe & vitamin E are very soothing. Also some sort of ointment for the burning soreness.

The Suprep made the experience much more tolerable. Good luck with your procedure!"


"I have been a long time sufferer of migraines for 21 years on my life, and I am 40 so half of my life. I have been on many many daily meds and meds to take to help with the pain to heavy narcotics.  This is the ONLY inject able that helps with my migraines.  I try my normal thing of IB Profin and a benadryl and if that does not work after a few hours I use Sumavel DosePro and with in 10 minutes, 90 % of the time I am migraine free and ready to go though my day. This works for onsets to walking up with a full blown migraine."


"I have been taking Nasonex for 8 years for seasonal allergies to various tree pollens. I get the horribly itchy eyes/nose/palate and runny nose. If I start taking Nasonex a few weeks prior to spring pollen season, it really helps and reduces about 90% of my symptoms. This way, I can still function for the month or two of pollen season. I would recommend this to people with Birch tree allergies."


"Flomax helps in the passing of kidney stone had stone for two months but wasn't drinking enough water. I stared drinking 1gal of water every day also 3 glasses of lemon n water and 3 cups of hibiscus tea in two days passed stone."


"I smoked for 10 years. I have been smoke free for 7 months."


"I've been on this pill for about 6 months and the first 3 or 4 months I was using the 28 day pack. A couple months ago my pharmacy switched me to the 21 day pack and ever since I have been getting my period on the second week of pills. This "period" lasts up until I start my next pill pack. I suppose I can be thankful that I'm not pregnant but if you're considering taking this pill to help regulate your cycle like I did, definitely do another brand."


"Great medicine that gives a benzodiazepine effect for anxiety, but without the bad side effects such as memory loss or addiction. You cam't stop taking pregabalin cold turkey however because there are some withdrawal effects such as increased anxiety, insomnia, and depression in my experience."


"I really like Cymbalta. It eliminates my anxiety and levels me out. What I don't like about Cymbalta- night sweats and general muscle fatigue. I laughed when I saw that it is a treatment for hot flashes. I have been on numerous antidepressants and that is one of the main side effects."


"I am on my second try with Chantix. The first time I was doing great, although I had some nausea but when I switched to the 1mg I felt like I was taking a placebo and I started smoking more than I had before. This time my doctor is only giving me the 0.5mg. The nausea seems worse this time and I can't sleep. My eye starts to twitch out of no where. I am clenching my jaw all day and I feel "fuzzy". This has got to get better."


"This medication works awesome for me.  I have narcolepsy and been on it for about 6 months now.  I take 3 x 10mg tabs a day and I skip Wednesday's. I am alert, awake and without any side effects.  "


"Hi Xanny.Yes,I have also experienced bleeding .It is a side effect of escitalopram. As a medical student and a patient of depression ,I know both the drug academically and as a patient. I take vitamin K drugs to counter the prolonged bleeding during periods."


"I started this birth control three weeks ago and now I have the worst acne I've had since being a teenager.  I'm breaking out with hormonal acne that no matter what just don't want to go away. I know you are supposed to wait for 3 months for your hormones to level out but I don't know how much more of this I can take.  I haven't had any other major side effects...a little nausea but that's about it."


"I used this product a few days ago. I didn't experience any pain from it until day 3. The first 2 days just involved a lot of itchiness - extremely intense, like fire ants.

The third day was when I experienced pain. It was like a heaviness coupled with an extreme burning. It was very unpleasant, but tolerable.

I think the severity of pain and itching directly corolates with how bad the infection is, and I think a small amount of pain is to be expected. If it's serve though, do not continue it, just go see your doc. There are alternatives. Also,don't forget that some std's mimic YI's. If it keeps coming back, it might not be a YI."


"Third week and no weight loss yet. I am an active person who goes to the gym 6 days a week. I have been eating healthy for 3+ years. Hit a weight loss plateau and the doctor thought this would help. Not giving up on the drug yet. I have enough to last until October. Side effects are manageable. Constipation and mild nausea"


"Abilify caused weight gain in my instance - I gained 10 kg, which is a lot for someone that was once petite. I lost all my confidence. I have been battling with Bipolar for years and never have I been on such an ineffective drug. I think it should just be taken off the market."


"Works awesome!"


"I have used this birth control for months now and I honestly like it. The first week I used it, it gave me really bad suicide thoughts and made me deeply depressed. I cried mostly every night and at work. But after that week I was totally fine except I started having really bad headaches. But every birth control comes with symptoms that only last a week or two and you're totally fine for the rest of the months. Depending if your body accepts it or not. I don't really have acne, I haven't gained weight, my boobs look fuller, and I haven't gotten pregnant yet. Also my period was heavy at the first month, but through the 2nd and 3rd month it gets lighter and lighter, as well with cramps. I love it. Just have a good diet, vitamins, & exercise,"


"Tramodol does not work well for painful pain. It makes me buzzy and then very nauseous."


"I have been taking TIKOSYN for 5 weeks.  It did not kick in until they did a cardioversion on me.  I am still having high blood pressure and high heart rate, as well as skipped beats.   I have a rash and itching that is very bothersome.  But other than that, I am doing well.  I feel good but I just wish my blood pressure and heart rate would go back to normal."


"Overall, I've had quite a wonderful experience with NuvaRing. It's very easy to use and it's very effective. It's perfect for those who are incredibly busy or have an unstable lifestyle (college students, bride-to-be, constantly changing work schedule), and I've had very minor side effects. Let's start with the positives though - regular periods that are very light, almost perfect skin except when on the period, no hair loss, no mood changes, and no weight gain. It's also very simple to get off the ring and switch to another birth control or completely stop birth control all together. The two side effects that I've experienced are low libido and I get headaches a lot easier. I can also feel the ring during sex but that's an easy fix."


"This is a revolting substance. Managed to down a litre in an hour and a half (started at 5pm is now 7.40pm) been on the loo since about 6.45pm it is certainly working. However I am DREADING taking the next litre at 8pm and wondering how I will make it downstairs to actually retrieve the solution! I threw up the last glass full I took. Surely there is a better way than this?!!! ☹"


"I'm a 23 year old college student who didn't get diagnosed with ADHD until last year. I was on 150 mg of Wellbutrin XL then bumped up to 300 mg. The only way I can describe how this medicine makes me feel is even keeled. I love it. I'm not nearly as emotional, overwhelmed or distracted and my grades show it. The only complaints about this medicine is it makes me sweat and pee alot. Sometimes it makes me feel a little anxious but not all the time. Overall I'm very satisfied."


"Tolerance develops rather quickly and it has a slow onset."


"I have Obssessive Compulsive Personality Disorder, Anxiety, Anger.  I Came off 8 years of venlafaxine with a week of headaches, increased fluid loss, dehydration and difficulty concentrating.  1st day of fluoxetine seemed at first to be similar to past week.  After 5 hours, my mind started to feel a little dizzy with accompanying nausea.  By evening, nausea heightened and appetite decreased.  Next day, within 1 hour, I felt the full effects:  vertigo, metallic taste/smell, nausea, alertness, and heart flutter.  Within 5 hours, I could no longer remain at a workstation, feeling very dizzy.  GP ordered rest, I went home and laid up.  The second evening/night:  difficulty falling asleep, violent dreams, electrical pulses in brain, anxiety.  Third morning: extreme tiredness, brain pulses continuing, vertigo."


"Flu kidney infectiion muscle aches"


"This is a wonderful medication.  I used to have GERD, and now I can eat anything, Mexican food, spicy food, sweets, anything and it does not bother me."


"I have been on Sprintec for a year and just went in to get my 2nd years worth of prescription. It's great, it's affordable best part is knowing when I'll have my period and usually starts and ends on the same day each month. My doctor has also changed my prescription a bit this year & has prescribed it in a way which I will only get my period every 3 months. No bad side effects, just good ones like clear skin, no cramps, light periods, etc. For you ladies who get nauseous after taking the pill, before I started my Dr. warned me about that and she recommended I take the pill before bed, so I take mine at 10 pm every night so even if I do get nauseous I don't feel it because I'm usually asleep."


"I used 2 of the Salonpas with Lidocaine patches for muscle pain in my shoulder and neck area.  Started getting a rash after the second application.  The rash is in the shape of the patch, very itchy and bumpy and looks like it could blister."


"I had my mirena placed at the end of May. An hour before my appointment I took 800mg of ibuprofen and ate a small breakfast. The pain during the placement wasn't bad, some cramps for maybe a minute (but I also have a child). I was on the last day of my menstrual cycle and barely had any bleeding from mirena. I went off birth control pills because my mood was horrible, I was always on edge and since switching I feel more like myself. My acne has gotten worse and I just finally saw a dermatologist. I got 2 creams and spironolactone to help with my hormonal acne. If you've had acne previous to placement I would recommend seeking treatment from the start instead of suffering to see if it clears as time goes on. Other than that I feel great!"


"I was on Gianvi for 10 months. The only problem I had was spotting. I switched to Zarah since its the same compounds just higher estradiol. I just started my second pack and am very happy with it. My face is glowing (compared to the occasional break outs) I was able to lose weight with exercise. My period was a lot lighter and no cramps, just a little bloat. I got headaches the first week. I've been moody but overall its good."


"I got my first UTI 5 days ago but thought it was just a yeast infection. So I used yeast infection medicine until my lower abdomin hurt so bad and it was impossible to urinate, even though I had the constant urge to go. I was miserable. Went to ER Sunday evening around 6 and was sent home with Bactrim DS and Pyridium. Within hours I could urinate better and within 12 hours I had no abdominal pain and could urinate just fine and completely empty my bladder. And that was after just 1 dose. I'm so grateful for this antibiotic and think it's wonderful. I did get a slight headache but it was definately worth it."


"Contrave gave me heart issues and it makes you feel really sick.  Needs to be off the market"


"My daughter was taking Generess for two years loved it but then insurance doesnt cover it and the whopping $142 monthly to continue just couldnt afford.  So we tried Trinessa and only in the first month but my daughter has had such severe bleeding the entire time she has been on this pill also has had some blood clots.  I know it takes a little time to get in your system and work effectively but not sure if she will continue on this or not.  But has helped awesomely with her acne."


"Takes away all anxiety and stress. I have GAD SAD and PTSD."


"I just finished my second month of 20mg/daily accutane. I am starting 30mg/daily this month. I have had 3 episodes of severe cystic acne throughout my life and acne always.

I am 37 and I can't remember a time when I didn't have pimples on my face. As I got older my acne moved to my chin and jawline, chest and back.

My acne began to clear right away on accutane. Just going on to my third month and I am chest, back, and face are smoother than I've ever felt.

I do have mildly chapped lips and I changed my cleanser to Cerave for normal to dry skin. I use a moisturizer day and night and sometimes even coconut oil on my face.

My doctor wanted to get me up to 40mg daily but I requested to be more conservative and he was agreeable."


"I'm 18 and just experienced my first YI due to an increase of hormones from Plan B. I put the ovule in at around 1 and within an hour the symptoms went down slightly. It still itches like crazy but no longer burns so whether that's an indicator it's working or not I'm not sure. If anything it's the cream that makes it feel worse, it no longer burns when I pee but I wiped with the wipes and reapplied cream and it started burning again. I'd recommend throwing away the cream altogether, I've found using coconut oil externally makes it go down for a while. Here's hoping the symptoms stop by tomorrow. I'd recommend this versus home remedies at the very least."


"After the birth of my child, I had a difficult time sleeping.  The tireder I got the less I could sleep.  My OB gave me Ambien to help me get sleep.  At first I was concerned but I hadn't slept in days so my husband promised to listen for the baby.   I have to say, without this medicine, I would never have made it through my insomnia.  I would advise that if you take this drug, you let a loved one know so they can look out for you.  I have tried to do a few stupid things while on this drug, like put stupid things on facebook and emailing people stupid things.  Each time, my husband stopped me......YOU CANNOT USE THIS MEDICINE WITHOUT A WING MAN!"


"I have had no side effects  and this medication works great!!

Even if i did have side effects, i would rather have side effects for 7 days rather than having Bv!!!"


"Ive been taking Dexilant for 3 months. Now I have diarrhea. Besides that this is my miracle pill."


"I am 22 years old, had been on birth control (Beyaz) for 5.5 years.  Had trouble with mood swings, weight gain, and bad acne through the pill... and continued to have heavy and irregular spotting between periods, with the pill.  My sister got Mirena and said it changed her life (for the better) So I then got the Mirena too. It was a very fast procedure, painful but nothing that you cannot handle by breathing through your nose, and out of your mouth.  It went smoothly and I was very crampy afterwards, but 2 hours later I was totally normal.  No spotting, or cramping since the input.  No period, my acne has cleared up, I've got more energy throughout the day, and I'm very pleased with it."


"So far so good. Dosage has been reduced tremendously since my liver transplant 7 months ago. I have had very few side effects and the capsules are small and easy to swallow. I started at 18  caps /day and now down to 3 /day. Be sure to follow your doctors orders and take your medicines on time. I use a Timex Datalink watch and set 2 alarms for each dose to reduce the chance of missing a dose."


"I have had this in for a little over a month I was concerned after reading the reviews but I'm glad I decided to go with this particular product. The downside to this particular birth control was after implementation my cycle was one week late. The upside is my cycles have been shorter and lighter ."


"24 yrs old and I had cystic acne before starting Accutane. Every week I would have new huge cysts especially chin and around mouth. I take 60mg a day and by month 3 perfect skin. Everything was so oily before and now not at all. I can go 4 days without even washing my hair and it still looks clean. I haven't had a single pimple in I don't even know how long. The one and only side effect I've had is dry lips, that's it. My skin is poreless and smooth. I'm on month 4 now with one more to go. Definitely recommend this medicine. It's absolutely amazing and I feel 1000x better about myself."


"I have been taking this pill for a UTI and it has made me super out of it due to lack of sleep and sleeping all day. I also usually get very nauseated after my food digests in my stomach. It did clear up my symptoms and I've taken it for five days now, thankfully thats all I had to take. Apparently the meds they prescribed first weren't "strong enough" to kill the bacteria which in itself sounded horrifying, but they assured me that this one will do the trick and it still was only a UTI. The only thing I've had the worst of is probably the nausea when I take it."


"I love Nexplanon. I got it in August 2013 when I was 18 and it's currently September 2014. The week I got it implanted I had my period for a few days and have not had my period since. That's one year with out periods. It's fantastic. I haven't experienced weight gain or moodiness or any other symptoms. I think it's extremely effective."


"I have used this medication for almost a year now. After about 6 months of use the medication began to not work as well as it once did. I want to caution anyone taking this medication to be very careful about changing the patches EXACTLY when you are supposed to. I was about 8 hours late changing my patch then put it on and got into my car to go to my destination. After driving about 25 minutes on an interstate I had to pull over and began violently throwing up. This vomiting lasted until I reached my destination which took about 2 hours due to the constant pulling over to vomit. Once I could remain still and not move the vomiting stopped but the nausea did not stop until 4 hours after taking the medication. "


"Works outstanding for my migraines."


"I HAD MY MIRENA PLACED 2 DAYS AGO. I HAD VERY MILD SPOTTING THAT STARTED ABOUT 4 HOURS AFTER I GOT IT DONE AND ONLY LASTED 10 MINUTES OR EVEN LESS. I HAVE CRAMPS LIKE YOU WOULD A NORMAL PERIOD. I'M 27 YEARS OLD AND HAVE A 14 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER. WE WANT TO WAIT TO HAVE ANOTHER ONE UNTIL SHE IS POTTY TRAINED. I GOT THIS BECAUSE I GOT PREGNANT WITH HER WHILE I WAS TAKING THE PILL. WHEN THEY PUT MY MIRENA IN IT DID MAKE MY EYES WATER A LITTLE BIT BUT THEN IT WAS DONE ...AND I FELT GREAT AFTERWARD. I'm HAPPY I DIDN'T NEED TO WORRY ANYMORE. HOPE THIS HELPS EASE THE STRESS."


"I've been on this pill for 5 months, and it's pretty awesome. No horrific acne. No horrific weight gain. But then again, I hit the gym 5 days a week. In fact, this birth control makes me skip my period entirely. I haven't been pregnant, and I don't have to drop 10 bucks on tampons. Needless to say, this stuff is great."


"After taking 30mg per day for ten days, my severe back pain is almost gone. I increased to 60mg to further eliminate morning and evening pain. This has greatly improved my life."


"I honestly didn't realize how much I loved this birth control until I switched. I'm currently taking Jolessa and it's horrible. Microgestin was perfect for me because I would never bleed in between, I wasn't emotional and I didn't gain weight. I also took my packs back to back for 3 months and I wouldn't spot until I was off of it. Really need to get back on this BC."


"Cannot emphasize this enough, I am a hypochondriac and love to worry so naturally I only focused on the less than favorable reviews.
Well let me tell you, don't worry. Tastes a LOT like BC powder chased by a cherry coke. Yucky but over quick and at least to me no where near as bad as some described. Actually the worst part was drinking so much water. Made me burp a bunch and feel bloated somewhat. Since I was hungry from only drinking liquids this was not completely unwelcome.
Felt chilled for a little bit but I think this was more from being so nervous.
Took an hour to kick in and since then has been doing its job. No cramping, just lots of "I gotta go".  If this is the worst then this will be about the easiest procedure ever."


"I was prescribed phentermine on 11/27/15. That day I weighed 334. Today is 12/2/15. In 6 days I have lost 15 lbs.  I literally make myself eat so I don't become sick. When I do eat I make sure it is something healthy. I feel awesome.  I really needed this to help retrain my brain to drink more and eat healthy small means!"


"(20 days of pure HELL)!! My doctor added Bystolic 10 mg (gave me 3 weeks samples) to help lower my heart rate and blood pressure... I was on Caduet 10mg and Hydrochlorotizide 25mg for over 10 years but recently my bp was not being stable. The 1st day on Bystolic I experienced cold legs and my bp was 132 / 84 better than my 142 / 90.. My short time on Bystolic I started having vivid horrific dreams and was waking up with cold sweat and high bp of 158 / 98 ... During the 1st week I also lost about 2 seconds of consciousness and became very light headed and foggy minded which remained until I demanded my Dr to take me off of Bystolic which he didn't want to do "


"At first it worked pretty well but about 3 months later I was having the anxiety again."


"I have a spine injury L5-S1 area for first 6 months I was on every anti-inflammatory and made me sick.
In addition, I was on heavy dose of Tramadol with no effect on pain what so ever and just made me high, then Percocet and it only made me high and very addictive.
Then I read about Lyrica, talked to my Doctor got some and stopped my flair-ups.
It saved me.
Lyrica cut my pain by about 40% and stopped my flair-ups by about 80%.
It kind of acts like an anti-depressant for me and makes me a bit hyper-(Good thing)
But kills my sex drive and I stopped it for a week, it was hard on me and pain and flair-ups came back.
I built a fast resistance to Lyrica fast, I went from 100mg to now 600 mg.
Gave me back my hunger and I'm gaining weight-(good thing)
You have to realize nothing but hard work and Meds will cut your pain down, nothing will cut your pain 100%
I know its depressing, we all just want our Doctor to put their hand on our injury and be healed.
You have to try some home to exercise, eat well and seek mental help along with Pain meds and help from you doctor.
Chronic pain, you need mental and physical help and most of all its you that has to push yourself to recover."


"I've been on Sprintec for three years now and have had a roller coaster of experiences with it. Sometimes it makes me so sick I swear I'm going to get off of it and take something else. And then at other times I don't even notice it. I would say my most common side effects are sudden onset nausea and headaches. Every so often I also experience some hot/cold flashes with it."


"Took one dose of Ziac, for first time, felt tenderness, tightness, and  pressure in right chest area, short of breath, became weak, left arm became numb, felt like pins and needles were sticking me, ended up at emergency room with chest pains, but blood pressure was lowered, felt very fatigued, still feel extremely tired. Moving extremely slow. "


"A serious car accident back in 1995 left me in chronic pain. Back, neck, and right leg. I had a fusion at c-5,6 and another aherniation at c-4,5. My spinal chord was almost crushed and I feel lucky to be up and about today. I have been on every opiate medication you can think of and hated it. I did get pain relief but hated the up and downs that went along with these medications. My doctor suggested methadone about 5 years ago and I've never looked back. I still take Percocet now and then for breakthrough pain relief. I have a quality of life that was non-existant before the methadone. It's not for everyone however if you want to get away from the fast-acting opiates, please mention it to your doctor. Literally changed my life."


"I have been on Implanon since July 2009, and so far it has been the best form of birth control that I have came across.  I have not had a cycle since July, there have been no mood swings, weight gain, depression, hair loss, etc.  If anything I feel a lot more comfortable and happy now that I don't have to worry about that time of the month. The only thing I don't love is the small scar on my arm from the insertion.  Other than that I would recommend it to other people who like me get migraines from the extra estrogen and are bad at taking pills every day."


"I have been on depo for over a year now. My positives would be no period, easy and that's about it. However I will no longer be receiving this birth control. Did you know that this same drug is used as a "chemical castration" for male sex offenders. They give it to them to drastically decrease their sex drive. Makes you wonder what it does to women. For me it has done just that. I started receiving the shot right before my husband and I got married and I didn't even want to have sex on our honeymoon . It has seriously affected our relationship and that is why I do not want to continue the shot."


"I've had my nexplanon since January 2014 and not once have I had a period and I have loved my experience with it!!!"


"I started getting small bumps, (not exactly pimples, but should be taken care of immediately else it would grow into pimples later) on my forehead and chin areas. It started to spread in cheeks too. I first started using Retin-A cream. Initially I had lots of new breakouts, but didn't give up my patience. New breakouts started to fade out on continuous application at only nights after cleansing with Episoft lotion. After a month I started applying Retin-A, My skin texture, pimple marks, uneven skin tone has improved drastically. Only thing is use this product only at night after proper cleansing. Initially this will cause skin peeling and irritation. "


"I tested positive for H. Pylori bacteria causing a stomach ulcer. Day one on this stuff was brutal. I was in so much pain/ nausea that I got sent home from work and scheduled an appointment with a GI Dr. Today is much better, but I need to constantly have something easy in my stomach to not feel sick. I immediately got the metallic taste on my mouth and get a bit cotton-mouthy at night. Otherwise, no other major side effects."


"It will be 5 years in April 2012. No problems, no issues... Love it and will do it again."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I've been taking Beyaz for a year now, and so far I like it better than anything I've ever took. It treated my moderate acne, I never get any acne anymore."


"Been taking 300 at bedtime for two months calling doctor having trouble concentrating on driving and panic attack and nervous type symptoms will driving"


"I had my first set of injections back in October 2012.  I got almost immediate relief after a couple of days of swelling.  It worked great for about three months then the effects started to wear off.  I am hoping the second set of shots will work as well or better than the first."


"Humira gave me my life back.  I was sicker than I had ever been and this is the first medicine that consistently made me feel better.  I take it in conjunction with Pentasa which seems to be the magic formula for me.  I don't like giving myself a shot but I am so grateful for how I feel.  Diet is a big part too but this has been a miracle for me."


"I've been on this birth control for a year and I have to say that it's very practical for my body. I used to get brutal cramps and long periods. No matter what type of birth control I had debilitating cramps. Lolo has caused my cramps to stop and my period is consistent and lasts 2 days. Only downside is I did get some acne, but the acne may be just due to something else since I've dealt with breakouts prior to trying lolo. Also my boobs grew a lot which I'm happy about. This medication is not for everyone, if you experience adverse effects stop taking it immediately as it does not agree with every woman."


"I'm 17 and this is the first method of birth control I have tried, been taking it for three weeks. It has been Amazing!
My acne has completely cleared up in all areas (whole face, chest, back) and I have had no bad side effects!"


"I've tried others ADHD meds. I always come back to this one. It works the best. Downside, it's so expensive."


"Lexapro is an absolutely fantastic medication for anxiety. I went on it from 2014-2015 and had life-changing results, but I ended up going off because I gained 10-15 lbs. I ended up switching to Prozac, which is good for anxiety too but it is not the same. Lexapro brought me somewhat of a euphoria. I felt liberated. It feels more "pure" than Prozac. Fast forward to 2017, I have decided to try Lexapro again."


"I have been on Vraylar 3mg for one week now. I am an ultra rapid cycling BP 1 with severe OCD and other issues. I rejected depakote due to my epileptic sister's weight gain so my doc decided to try me on Vraylar. I was supposed to have 1.5mg for one week before stepping up to 3mg. Unfortunately, I was in a bad place when I was there and left the samples behind. After my pharmacy called to have my Dr call the insurance company to verify it was medically necessary (oh boy, I AM a nutter butter) it was then ordered (only person in town on it? Oh goody.) and I took the first dose at bedtime. 6 hours later I felt like I had the worst tequila hangover ever. Fast forward one week and I am actually trying out the "feeling normal" thing I heard of."


"I'm a little skeptical because I actually withdrew a little from MS-Contin (morphine) when I switched to Oxycontin. So far it is working but I hear Morphine is the more potent of the 2. MS-Contin stopped working after 3 or 4 months.So 5 days into this Oxycontin it seems to be helping. I'm staying hopeful."


"I have just finished my second week on Tri-Sprintec and my period hasn't stopped since. I have been getting more moody than I normally am and I almost had 3 anxiety attacks."


"I have had migraines since my teenage years and am currently 49 years old. I sometimes go for long periods of time with no migraines, but then I can have migraine and accompanying neck pain that goes on for 2 days or more.

I've been on Fiorinal, then Fioricet, and just recently, Maxalt.

Recently, I asked my Dr about having a different medication that would be legal to take to Europe, as Fioricet is banned in at least some, if not all, countries in Europe. Since another Dr had previously tried prescribing Maxalt, he had me try this.

It WORKS. I find it works better and faster than other meds, and I don't feel woozy when taking it.

Tricare allows 18 pills per 45 day period before another refill."


"I just started taking Meridia 4/16/2010 and I've lost 2lbs. My  starting weight was 190lbs, appetite and energy has improved. "


"Side effects: heart palpitations & pounding, insomnia, numb hands, 24/7 panic attack even in my home lying in bed, fearful of getting out of bed, leaving the house. Frequent diarrhea & abdominal pain. Auditory hallucinations. Had to stop, not even remotely tolerable. I got tested by 'Assurex Health' Genesight testing which showed this to be on my 'green' list. I see that they billed my insurance $6,224.00 and my responsibility is $1300.00 but I was told there was some sliding scale so we'll see. They're making a killing on these tests and I'm afraid to try anything else on their green list, since they're all newer drugs, all costing in the range of $250 to $400, seems like there is something going on that doesn't benefit patients/victims"


"I was on Lisinipril and developed the dry cough with stress incontinance.  My Dr changed my med for BP to Losartan and now I have the same exact symptoms dry cough with stress incontinance.  I also am having major hair loss but thankfully no balding yet.  My Dr says I have lots of drainage in the back of my throat causing me to cough.  She is having me take 2 allergy pills per day but it's been weeks and the cough isn't getting any better.  Not sure what med she will switch me too but I sure hope this gets resolved soon.

Too young to have stress incontinance."


"I've had back pain for years. Then I started getting really bad pain in my knee and found out I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis and I'm only 28 yrs old. I have been on Lortab 10/500 for 6 yrs. Then started going to a pain specialist and I'm now on Tramadol ER 300mg 1x a day and Norco 10/325 4-6x a day and it works miracles. I also take the muscle relaxer, Flexeril and it helps very well too. I still have pain but I always will for the rest of my life because of my arthritis. But these medicines makes life much better."


"I started Chantix on July 23, 2007 after smoking for smoking for 43 years. I had lost my father, grandfather and uncle to lung cancer and yet I continued to smoke. So in 2007, I spent more money than I could really afford to give Chantix a try. By August 27th I was smoke free!! I didn't need a second month's worth, I was free!! I have been smoke free since that day, 8.5 years!! So much better than patches or gum, I thank you for giving us Chantix. I wish every smoker would try it. I had tried to quit probably, at least 10 or 12 times but always went back without ever really quitting, just hiding it from my family. No more, smoke free!! Thank you!"


"When I first got this put in my arm in 2015 I was very happy with it. I didn't have my period for 3-5 months which was awesome because I normally had horrible periods. After the first year I started having complications. I was on my period for 5-7 month straight... I called my doctor and she said that that was normal. I still kept it because I didn't want to go through the hassle of having it removed after over a year of having it. I also started breaking out badly and gaining weight fast. Before I had the birth control I had clear and an even skin tone and was 125 lbs and after a little over a year I had gained 20 lbs and had horrible acne that would not go away no matter what I did. The side effects are not worth it."


"I've suffered from migraines for over 20 years. Various treatments have worked over the years but lose their effectiveness after certain amount of time.
Zomig has helped me tremendously because of the various methods of delivery. I'll take the nasal spray & when that stops working after a few months, I'll switch to the tablets.
While this product does work, it sometimes can take a second dose before I get relief. Sometimes, it doesn't work at all. It really depends on how soon I take it. Like someone else said in a previous review, sometimes I don't realize it's going to be a migraine. I do still get regular headaches and using my migraine medicine on those, in my opinion, can be wasteful. Especially at the price you have to pay for it."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"Most palatable drink for bowel prep I've had to date (compared to 2 previous...but it is pricey depending on how much your insurance will pay: Tricare was good). I followed Dr.s advice on prep and bowel was clean and clear for pictures and work."


"It definitely calmed my anxiety but left me drowsy.  I took 25mg once a day for two weeks and was able to function somewhat normally despite the fatigue factor. After two weeks, for some reason, it began making me so tired that I was unable to function during the day. I tried halving and even quartering the amount, but it still left me unable to stay awake during the day.  When I was awake, I was lethargic and depressed."


"I stared taking the sister medicine of victoza which is saxenda OMG for the first week at 0.6 I was very nauseated, diarrhea, constpation and abd pain. I stopped taking then 3 weeks later she prescribed victoza the first week was fine no S&S the second week everything hit me at once nausea, and pain, diarrhea, and constpation I stopped taking it. It has been 5 days and I'm still ill the constpation is horrible along with still being nauseated. When will this go away and oh the belching will not let me sleep! I will not recommend this medication to anyone. I will never take it again!"


"I once lost 60 pounds in six months on this medicine I was amazed at how well it worked.  that was several years ago, I recently, actually just this week started taking it again can't wait to see if it works as well this time"


"I have been on Victoza now for month. I'm 57 and previously  always have had high blood sugar. Nothing seemed to work. Until my PCP started me on Victoza . First 2 weeks was good , Nausea the second 2 weeks , then went away . I have lost 20lbs and feel so much better . Blood sugars have been low 150s . This medicine saved my life . Be sure to ask your PCP for some Zofran , you will need it the second and third week for neausa .  Don't give up . Thank you Victoza . A Disabled Veteran "


"I am  89 rears old. 1986- quadruple open heart surgery; three bare stents inserted 8 years later; using an ARB, a beta blocker, have been on warfarin for ten years since my stroke in 2001, plus Imdur 60 mgm twice a day. I still experienced angina, after walking, after sitting too long. Started Ranexa one month ago-results are amazing- NO ANGINA!  500 mgm twice a day. Thank you, Gilead Science for developing this amazing medicine.  "


"There are certain things I really enjoy about this pill, it makes my periods very light and tolerable. Off of birth control, my periods are accompanied by horrible cramps and I would bleed heavily for 5 days. On the pill, I rarely experience a cramp and my bleeding is light for about 2 Days. I have noticed I have a been a bit more emotional and fatigued around the time of my period but it's not to a level I can't handle.
There is one very bad side effect for me. I'm not completely sure if it's the pill, so I plan to get it checked out by a doctor. Ever since I started to take this brand of birth control I've had vaginal dryness. I believe this is causing my vagina to tear and bleed during sex."


"I get probably 4 or 5 migraines a month. I couldn't bear to be without my fioricet. It's the only medicine that seems to work for me. If I feel a headache starting, I take 2 tabs and within 20-30 mins, the headache is gone. In addition to being a mother of 4 girls, I have run my family day care for 17 years and I just wouldn't be able to function without my fioricet. I have tried several other mediciness before fioricet, and nothing seemed to help so I am very thankful for fioricet. It works great for me. I've tried to avoid things that set off my headaches, like not eating before 2 pm, or my pillows not being right when sleeping, brightness, sounds, smells and stress. But some can't be avoided. Thank you."


"I started Contrave in April 2016. I stayed on 1 pill/day for 4 weeks, then went to 2 pills/day primarily because of the expense. I was hoping to accomplish weight loss without having to take the full dose and stretch the prescription out for a longer period of time. I'm 5"7" and started at a weight of 172lbs  It's now July 2016 and I'm only down to 166 (that's 6 lbs in 3 months). Not much progress, but I am only taking half the recommended dose. Side effects have been minimal - the most predominant is sleepiness. I've had to increase my caffeine intake to combat the sleepiness. I do work out 2-3 times/week and hope to increase that. I sometimes "over-eat" the medication, I'm full but continue to eat and then feel incredibly over full."


"I was prescribed this medication after vaginal birth, 30 hours labor and a significant episiotomy.  Medicine was a life saver.  I have a very low pain tolerance and had almost no pain while taking this medicine.  The cons were that I was extremely constipated and mentally was very out of it and even had some light hallucinations."


"I have been on Klonopin (Clonazapam) for 9 years and have never felt the need to increase my dose of 0.5mg in the am., and 1.0 mg in the pm.  I have PTSD, and no longer have panic attacks or the General Anxiety associated with the PTSD.  I might have to take it for the rest of my life, but without it my quality of life was unbearable.  I don't want to go back to the panicky shaking and heart palpitations and fatigue I felt after an episode.  Truly, my triggers don't even bother me that much due to this medication.  It's been my saving grace."


"My 9 years  old is now taking Intuniv for three weeks. At the begining he was very sleepy and tired. So I decided to give him the pill at bedtime, he's been much better. This medication was a miracle for my son, his mood is better, he is happier, less emotional, and finishing his school task. Before he was on Concerta for 6 months it made his personality change. He started to bite his clothes and picking on his nose. It was bad. He could focus but the side effects worthless. I also try Strattera with similar side effects. My son it doing great on Intuniv. I hope it will continue to work for him."


"I've been taking Hydrochlorothiazide for six months.   I started out taking it with breakfast, but noticed it makes me a little sleepy and droopy.  I switched to taking it at bedtime, and noticed I slept better.  However, when I told my doctor this, he told me to take it in the morning because it will make you excrete excess fluid.  I switched back, and have the same results.   I've noticed only a slight drop in my blood pressure. That might be because I'm struggling to eat a healthy diet.  I have good days and bad days."


"I was on Levora (brand) for several months before switching to Levlen (generic) due to my pharmacy being unable to stock the brand name drug.  Over the last several months on Levlen I've noticed my moodiness increasing and my sex drive drastically decreasing.  This happened once before when switching from brand to generic."


"I was perfectly controlled on Seratide but my medical practitioner advised me to change. As far as I can tell, Symbicort has no effect at all. I don't get relief from the reliever part and I wake up coughing and spluttering. I still need to use ventolin. If I didn't know better, I would say it was a placebo."


"I was addicted to pain killers for four years. I got on Methadone, although it helped I ended up starting using cocaine. I was on Methadone for 7 years. I went from 80mgs. down to 1mg. I thought my withdrawals would be slight, but they were really bad. I relapsed about a week after getting off methadone. I now am on Suboxone and have no cravings for any drug. I am in the processes of weening off. I definitely recommend Suboxone over methadone for someone who is trying to decide what route to take."


"Have high cholesterol and triglycerides.  I am also a diabetic and I have borderline high blood pressure.  My doctor put me on Livalo because he said that because of all the medicine I am on, an advantage of Livalo is how it is metabolized.  It does not use the liver much.  That makes me happy.  I am tolerating it well and my LDL went from 225 to 110 in 90 days.  I will take that."


"Well this medication has worked VERY well for my ADHD! It helps me concentrate and makes my mood overall more lifted! I Notice energy and a desire to do work and complete tasks instead of being a lazy couch potato like before. Side effects: Anxiety, Depersonlization and Derealization on this medication sometimes makes you feel like a robot! And heart rate goes up also! But it worked much better than Adderall. Adderall gave me bad anxiety and higher heart rate! Much stronger and more positive mood from Dexedrine. "


"I have been dealing with narcolepsy since 1992.  Nuvigil was introduced to me in 2014, wonder pill all the way.  Unfortunately with my insurance my out of pocket expense will run approximately $550 for a 30 day supply.  So tell me do I feed my family of 5 or buy medicine.  What a choice to have to make."


"I had Ulcerative Colitis in 2006 and had my entire large intestine removed in July 2006. By March 2007 after reconstructive surgery, I now have a J-Pouch, so I no longer have an ostomy.  I do however get a condition called Pouchitis.  An over growth of bacteria in the pouch.  Cipro works wonders for it.  I was on Cipro every day for about 2 years after the surgery.  Now just occasionally.

Was at a friends house looking at his tropical fish and noticed he had a bottle of Fish Flox which is actually Cipro. Same 250mg tablet I take."


"I was skeptical that this could work, but thankfully I was proven wrong! I will definitely keep this in my medicine cabinet."


"I was having horrible debilitating stomach cramps on and off for about 3 months. I went to the doctor and he gave me dicyclomine and told me to take one every 4 hours the next time I had cramps. I took a total of two capsules, and the cramps went away forever. Great stuff."


"I have suffered from psoriasis for 20yrs and the condition fluctuated over this time. I have tried creams, methotrexate, light therapy and cyclosporine - none of which helped. Eventually I saw a fantastic dermatologist -  I had to try 3 treatments and if they failed, I could apply for permission to try biologics. I tried Enbrel first -worked until I fell ill with tonsilitis & my psoriasis came back with a vengence. I switched to Stelara, I am about to take my 5th injection, and it has been amazing. Within weeks, I was almost clear. This was the 1st summer I've been happy to show my body at the beach! Minimal side effects too."


"It works the first 3 weeks ,when stop medication symtoms comeback."


"I took Ella 4 days after unprotected sex. A few days later I had brownish discharge. It only lasted one day. I had a few stomach cramps as well as pelvis cramps and I never had cramps before a period. However this also could have been due to how nervous I was that I could be pregnant. My expected period date came around and I missed it. By the 4th day I was paranoid and took a First Response pregnancy test. It said negative. On the 6th day I still did not have it and took another pregnancy test and it said negative. I then went to the gynecologist because I was super paranoid and stressed and she said I probably wasn't pregnant and that the pill thew off my cycle. The next day I got my period. Ella does work."


"My 17 year old daughter has been on this for two years (both name brand and generic).  She started to take it because of painful periods.  She initially had monthly spotting, that eventually went away.  After two years, she hasn't had spotting in a long time.  She loves the infrequent periods, short periods, and no pain."


"I'm on day 3 of zoloft I think I'm going to stop I feel angry more depressed no motivation to do anything, feel like I can't handle my kids. Super dizzy and over it like 10x more suicidal then I've ever been. Also kind of feel numb and like I can't think properly.
Not a good feeling and I don't think its worth waiting it out..."


"I am just diagnosed with psoriasis on May 2013 and I am on my 3rd week of methotrexate and so far it cleared the psoriasis on my neck and under my breast. It stops the wetness and flakes and the ones in my arm and tummy are lesser in flakes. I just hope that my dermatologist will allow me to continue the medicine, but it depends on the lab results on my liver."


"I am 20 years old and I've never had children. I got Skyla about a month ago because I have gallbladder problems and my body doesn't like the extra estrogen. No one had warned me about the insertion. It wasn't the worst pain I've ever experienced but it was a lip biter. It also took her awhile to do it. BUT I wasn't on my period when I had it inserted because her schedule was booked . I would highly recommend taking some pain reliever before going in just in case. Everyone is totally different.  The first week I was a little tender. You should pamper yourself for the day you get it done and the day after. I've had light pink spotting and some pain here and there but it's suppose to be normal."


"I am a 22 year old male. Parents and Grandparents both had high blood pressure and passed it right on to me. I have been taking Bystolic for about a year now and had excellent blood pressure. HOWEVER, I am extremely tired all of the time. If I do not get at least 9 hours of sleep I am tried through the day. Before I started taking it I was fine on 7 hours of sleep. I even have to take naps sometimes because I just can't stay awake. I have chest pain about once a week that lasts for an hour or so. Doesn't hurt but very uncomfortable. Also have gained about 25 pounds in the past year. Blood pressure is good but side effects are rough."


"Been scripted for various statins over the years, having to change from one to another due to side effects; muscle pain, increased glucose, blurred vision with aching eyes, fatigue, cognitive impairment, headaches, etc. .  Not sure of  the time of onset of of each symptom.  Am being treated for seasonal affect disorder but am now  thinking this is due to statins. Am now off statins and other than mild blurred vision all symptoms have stopped"


"Been using this product along with bactrum for about 1 week and already see in good results... had 3 big cystic pimples that was on my face for more then 3 months...and they have gone down in 1 week..can't wait to see what the next month or 2 brings."


"Everyone is giving this drug a bad rep... I've been on 2 pills, this one only makes me moody just before my period which is normal for someone not on birth control, no weight gained and my acne isn't awful. By not awful I mean I've had acne for 7 years and in the past year on this medication it hasn't been as bad as it has been in the past. No medication is perfect but this is a pretty good one, I think a lot of people blame this medication for their life problems when that just may be their life."


"I switched from the Nuvaring to this at the advice from my endochronologist who said that the Nuvaring was messing with my thyroid and that she feels like my body cannot handle additional hormones in my body. Ive been on Lo Loestrin Fe for about 2 months and it has been the worst. Terrible mood swings, depression, bloating, constipation and no sex drive! I'm 27 and to have no sex drive is crazy. I have anxiety disorder and this medicine has made it worse and is actually causing depression which according the side effects, is common. So I'll be going back to the doctor and asking for something else. The only positive is that my period started as soon as I went to the white pills and wasn't heavy or crampy."


"This has been the best medicine for lifting my mood from severe depression due to bipolar. I have come along way. If you have not tried this I recommend it highly. I do take this with cymbalta, but I was on it years ago by itself and got good results. Give it a try."


"This pill worked very well for me. I have been taking it for over 2 years for my horrible menstrual cramps and I love it. I am a very petite 95 pound, 19 year old girl and this has not caused any side effects for me at all. I had no weight gain although I went from a B cup to a C cup, but that I didn't mind. Overall, very good birth control, definitely would recommend it."


"I have been using Jublia for about 6 months on big toe, cannot tell if it is working, I had the fungus on both nails and got rid of it soaking in diluted bleach (a dermatologist told me to do this), but then it came back on one toe, so, I am trying Jublia, so far, getting it for free thru Walgreens, I have Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance. I had also done the laser treatment too, and it didn't work for me."


"After not seeing my boyfriend after three days, well let's just say the night got hot and heated. In the midst of things the condom broke right after he had finished. Instantly every moment before and thereafter had been ruined.  Instantly we moved quickly into action, that is --rushing to our local pharmacy. The pill cost about $50.  After 30-45 minutes of the condom breaking, I took the pill.  I was extremely nervous because I had just finished ovulating a week prior to this happening and just knew I was extremely fertile by this time.  My period was scheduled to start just four days later.  After taking the pill, the next day I experienced constant hot flashes and at times nausea. My period started on time! Thanks Plan B!"


"I am 35 years old and have battled acne and oily skin my whole life. I have tried everything under the sun to cure my acne but nothing worked. I started accutane 4 days ago and already notice a difference with my skin. I can tell it is drying me out but it is well worth it. My self confidence is rising day by day and the stress of wondering, "how bad will my face be today?" is leaving. I will comment on my experience when I can, but as of now I would recommend this drug to anyone. It has already changed my life."


"Thus drug is the most horrid thing I have ever been on, so far been taking  75mg for two weeks to help with my depression, I feel like a zombie always tired and always weak, just feel like vomiting or my head is pounding! Would not recommend for anyone."


"It works very well for acne and birth control."


"I´ve had my Mirena removed, after a year and a half with it, for almost a year now. From the beginning to the end it was a nightmare. My periods were endlessly, I was getting the shape of a balloon, my breasts were huge, I´ve had daily hives for a period, my fingers developped arthritis, it felt like my body was collapsing, always tired and in a weird mood.

Nowadays, I am much better, my period is back to its normality....but the extra weight is still a problem...almost there!"


"Elestrin has given me my life back!  Give it some time to get in your system and work and you will be so glad that you did!!  I can't imagine life without Elestrin!"


"This medication can't be rated hastily.  It can take up to 6 weeks to level off.  My first days of Pristiq 50mg were terrible.  My first dose at night caused insomnia, jitteriness and dizziness, dilated pupils, nausea, sweaty, and a racing pulse.  The following week I felt great with NO ANXIETY!  I still felt nauseous however, ate very little(lost 7 lbs), and had a headache daily.  The following week my side effects continued (  insomnia & TMJ flare up), but my benefits diminished. My Doctor then increased my dose to 100mg.  Since then most of my side effects are gone except the dilated pupils & TMJ issues.  I've taken Zoloft(ok) & Lexapro(zombie) in the past.  Please give this medicine time before you decide you hate it!"


"I was on acutane (claravis) the first 2 months my acne actually got worse but after that my face started clearing up. The reason I'm not giving this a full 10 is because I had more negative effects than I did good. Granted, my acne did go away but only for it to come back 2 months after I was done. I didn't experience a dry face which is a very common side effect but I did get horribly dry lips. My hair would fall out in CLUMPS through out the day. I gained 20 pounds while on this medication made my heart get irregular palpitations and I also experienced shortness of breath. My cholesterol levels were also all wacked out.Horrible joint pain! All of this for my acne to end up coming back.Think twice before putting your body though This"


"More like Xyrem distress! What an awful medicine. It is expensive and it does not work. Don't waste your money. Find something else to help you sleep."


"The only good thing about this implant was that it prevented pregnancy but whats the point of that when I don't even have the desire for sex. I was so confused because things in my life were going so well, I was going to therapy and improving my mental health. However throughout the 6 months on it my mental health declined as well as my sex drive and I started to get very anxious and thinking everyone was out to get me. I felt like an alien when I talked to people, I distanced myself from everyone. I had it out two days ago and I can already feel that I'm feeling better, I can't tell if this is in my mind or the hormone starting to leave but my sex drive has definitely started to improve. There's a lot more  want to say but theres no space"


"I'm 21 and I have been on Tri-Sprintec for a month now and have not suffered from any mood swings whatsoever. I started taking this pill to calm down the irritation of endometriosis and cyst. Hopefully its been working because I have been experiencing stomach pains and nausea as if I was pregnant (early morning/night). I was wondering if anyone else has noticed any stomach pains(nothing like cramps). Overall the pill is okay."


"I've been on this for over 6 months now and seizure free since then.  I do have a very mild loss in appetite, but that has not stopped me from eating, only how much I eat.  Side effects are the lowest overall from all the other medicines I've been on in the past (Topomax, Triliptal, Depakote & Phenobarbital).  Best of all it's only once a day!"


"Appears as though it works, but I wasn't warned to be cautious and only apply to affected areas, I am currently suffering from what feels like I have spread my ass cheeks and have been drug at the very least 150 feet across the concrete. My skin is gone, burned, and painful. A simple blast of air from a small farther feels like shrapnel blasting against my skin. Walking is painful,  same as bending over; he'll at this point, I hurt from breathing. The only relief I have found has been in applying half a tube of neosporne with pain relief today alone.

I think I could yield the same results by being shot with laser guns.

This pain should be on a poster for safe sex."


"Well girls I absolutely do  not recommend Implanon, let me tell you a little bit of my journey with it. I got Implanon on 8 August of 2016 and today I took it out the 17June of 2017 its been a nightmare. Of course it does what it suppose to do which is not getting you pregnant but on the other side it is the most horrible thing that has happened to me because of the side effects. 1. My period started to be irregular and after 3 months my period just disappeared
2. I am a person that always try to take care of my skin and after one month of having Implanon my skin started to be dry, breakout a lot even on my back "


"THIS IS A GREAT MEDICATION! I started off on 5 mg which didn't do much at all, so then I was bumped up to 10 mg and also put on 25 mg of zoloft. I take Buspirone 3 times a day whenever I feel anxious and it works so well for me. The only side effect that I have experienced with this are slight brain zaps, however they went away for me in 3-4 days! I recommend this highly."


"After fighting off a cold I end up with terrible bronchitis. The type of cough that makes you vomit with bruised ribs abs and you have to hold your head because of the pain. Walk in clinics give me useless puffers that have zero impact on my cough and how can you get better if you can't sleep? My family doc will prescribe this to me and it works immediately on half the dose. I'm very intolerant to any type of drug so I take half the dose on a full stomach and lots of liquids.  You need to administer it properly but it works for me every time. Relief from my symptoms is like a gift from heaven. It's too bad that so many are trying to get this for the wrong reasons, the patients that really need it can't get it from a walk in clinic or emerg."


"Seroquel helped my mental status but I couldn't take being tired all the time and the weight gain was ridiculous even with eating healthy and working out six days a week. To get off of it you have to taper so slow. When I dropped from 12.5mg to 0mg I went through terrible withdrawals way worse than stopping opiates. Throwing up, flu symptoms, I lived in bed and was close to wanting to just quit. I was worthless from day three of stopping to day nine. I woke up on day ten feeling back to my old self and so happy to be free of this stuff they call seroquel"

"Tried all sorts of other migraine medicines out there and relpax is by far the best. The melting Maxalt also seems to work. Unfortunatly, like the previous poster said, it is crazily expensive(after insurance my price was $130 for 30 pills). "


"Great experience!! Had my nexplanon for 5 1/2 years just removed to try conceiving. I did have acne and weight gain not sure if it's connected with the implant. Had a regular monthly ever single month. Can't complain I thought it was an awesome birth control!"


"On week 8. I've been fighting obesity since 12 years old. I'm 67 now. Finally a drug that actually helps and is effective. I've gone from 192-178. Two years ago I lost 40 pounds and it was creeping back up.  Contrave curbs my cravings and decreases my appetite. I eat under 1400 a day and exercise 4-5 times a week.  Not only am I losing, I'm losing in the right places. Side effects are some nausea but that just tells me to eat a little protein and the dry mouth and shakes. I do take other rx that cause that too. I pay $205 per month because I'm on Medicare. Which makes no sense to me. So I buy fewer groceries and set aside savings for Contrave.  Love it."


"I have been taking this medication on and off for the last 6 years. The only reason I didn't take it the whole time was because I was pregnant twice and insurance issues the other time.

When I'm not on this medication I can't even so much as look at a cat or dog. I have not had to take oral steroids monthly like I used too, only now maybe once a year with I get a cold or flu. I was so restricted in what I could do before I took xolair, now I can go to the gym or play with the kids just fine. I would recommend to anyone who has asthma and is allergic to an animal."


"Narcan has saved my life twice in the ER. Every day I rose above the misery of addiction."


"Coming to the end of treatment with Harvoni with two days left of an eight week period on them.

Only side effect was very slight rash on back of hands.

No other side effects noticeable.

In fact my quality of life improved greatly after only a few days as had Hepatitis C for forty years and my whole body was suffering from it.

First blood test after two week treatment came back undetected and has remained undetected.

Very, very grateful for this medicine and for Doctor's and staff who have been taking care of me.

Thank you."


"If I could give this thing a zero I would -  its absolutely vile!! I don't recommend to any woman at all, I am 23 & regret it deeply. It has killed my sex drive to the point I don't do a whole lot of sexual stuff or even think of sex at all. I've gone off sex for god knows how long.  I had this thing the Nexplanon fitted 8/02/2016 February 2016 and first couple of months was fine it stopped the bleeding after a month in March,Then around August 2016 I noticed a massive weight gain without any extreme change in diet exercise, It felt like I was a pregnant lady which (I am not as I  don't like children & never want them hense the implant fitted.) & I also had severe reduced motivation with extreme tiredness & extreme mood swings"


"I suffered from severe constipation. A week or more at times with not going; when I did it was like rabbit pellets. MOM works very well; but it was explosive pooping (make sure you drink lots of water with it). I wanted to poop, not have diarrhea for hours. I now changed my diet, lowered a constipation causing drug I am on for another condition, drink plenty of water, take olive oil, take pro & prebiotics, take cod liver oil, drink veggie smoothies, no more white bread or junk foods/sodas, exercise, meditate and stretch my muscles. MOM is not a long term solution... life style change is. Good luck to you."


"I had two injections of depo-provera when I was 25. The first shot was fine, no abnormal physical side effects, maybe a little spotting during what should have been my menstrual cycle. Then about a month after the 2nd shot I cascaded into a deep depression that involved suicidal thoughts. My libido was also gone and it took over a year after the 2nd and final injection to feel better in terms of the depression.  My libido never recovered. I am now 45. My last sexual encounter was when I was 32. I firmly believe that depo-provera is responsible.  But hey, bright side, right? I didn't get pregnant :/"


"Worked great for the first 3-4 months then nothing. Went right back to same misery I have dealt with for 20 years. Doctor even increased dosage  even though people without a gallbladder are not supposed to take the higher dosage. The higher dosage actually made things worse for me and the cramps last even longer than they normally do which is pretty bad so since it was no longer working I stop taking it. It did seem like a miracle drug at first but unfortunately I'm one of the people that it no longer works for after three or four months."


"My first shot was July 16, 2013, the last shot was March 24, 2014. Four shots total and in that time I had some type of vaginal discharge every month. I wore some type of pantyliner or pad everyday during this time because I never knew if I would have a period. The bleeding wasn't always heavy, but I bled enough that I became iron deficient anemic.  I did experience larger than normal clots some months. I wanted to try the full year to see if my periods would ever stop, but the lack of iron made me get off Depo."


"I am getting drowsiness no mood to work"


"I am 22 years old and I got the skyla about 7 months ago. I'm not going to lie getting it inserted was pretty painful, but I was easily able to drive myself home. The next two weeks I felt pretty bloated and constipated but nothing crazy. I spotted a little at first, but now haven't had a period in about 5 months. That freaks me out so I get pregnancy tests every once in a while just to be safe. I didn't get acne or gain weight. So far I like it a lot better than the pill."


"I had my thyroid out in 2000 and it is now 2008.  When I first had my thyroid out, my doctor put me on Synthyroid and would just look at the total TSH.  Then I switched Dr.'s because I felt horrible and put on so much weight to find out my T3 and Free T3 were very low.  It was possible my body was having a tough time converting T4 to T3 and the doctor switched me to Armour Thyroid and it was a life saver."


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


"I am 42 years old just started taking Microgestin FE 1/20 for nine days before developing shortness of breath and inability to sleep.  Called my Doctor's office to inform and was told to stop taking the pill.  Hoping I will have better luck with a different brand."


"I think this is a miracle medicine."


"I have had the implant for 3 years and am due to get it taken out next week. Whilst the implant has been effective at stopping pregnancy, I have had a lot of unpleasant side effects. One being weight gain, I have gained around 2.5 stone and always seem to bloated. Period wise, for the first year and a half I had no periods whatsoever until they came back and I got very light but painful periods every few months that lasted 2 days each time. Other things I have noticed are I get pain in my breasts occasionally, poor sex drive, bad mood swings and worsened eczema. I don't plan on getting the implant again due to the side effects, however it seems to be effective at stopping pregnancy and stopping periods or making them light."


"I have been to several internists, three pulmonary docs and still have a chronic cough.  Other than perhaps an asthmatic condition so far no specific diagnosis.  Nobody could stop the cough.  I tried virtually everything until I came to my latest internist who said he could stop the cough and he did.  He prescribed Tussionex Pennkinetic.  Unlike most of the other comments I don't feel loopy, I feel normal as can be except I can't sleep.  So with a bit of an Ambian I sleep, I don't cough much any more and feel great.  I take two teaspoons daily each and every day or I am in trouble.  I have done this now for about three years and the end results have kept me off Prednisone and able to live a normal healthy active life. Hurray for this medicine!"


"I had kyleena inserted two weeks ago.  I'm 20.  No children.  I took a xanax about 45 mins before the procedure and it was over very quickly. The pain was a 7-8 out of 10 but only lasted for a minute. The most unpleasant part was the startling awareness of the feeling of the device in my uterus. I didn't take any pain medicine after,  just ate some ice cream and took a nap. I have brown discharge on a daily basis, and from what I've read this should go away soon. I've never had acne, but I am currently dealing with a rough breakout (8 bumps appeared on the same day). Also dealing with uterus spams that come and go but are not painful... feels like uterus is shaking..."


"Since I was 12 (I am almost 20 now) I have had a terrible problem with armpit sweat. I went years just dealing.. getting rid of my cute shirts for black shirts instead, and wearing jackets even in the Florida heat. I never bothered to ask my doctor about it. It never occurred to me that anything but surgery or botox was an option.
I tried clinical deodorant after clinical deodorant and while one might work for a day or so, I would inevitably begin sweating again within the third application or so.

This is my second day using Hypercare.. and although it tends to BURN after applying.. within an hour or so it goes away and I was left feeling completely dry up to my next application.

This is such a huge boost to my self esteem!"


"At 300mg 4x daily my pain was almost gone. "


"I've had GERD and Gastroparesis for over 10 years. Protonix is the only medicine I've found to help control the GERD. As long as I take it twice a day as instructed I do not have acid reflux."


"Got prescribed this as I'm allergic to prednisone. On it for 3 weeks but only taking 1/2 of the 500 pill daily with food as it was making me quite nauseated and continues but not as bad. A little apprehensive about taking a new medicine (FDA approval 05/11). "


"Best pain medication I have ever had."


"I have been taking Buspar 10mg 3 times a day for the past 3 months for anxiety and panic attacks. I think for the most part my panic attacks have subsided but still experience a bit of anxiety and increased blood pressure. I do take Xanax 0.25mg from time to time if my anxiety gets too bad or too stressed. I do notice I feel slightly lethargic and run down most of the time while I have been on this. Also after each dose I get some dizziness about 45 minutes afterwards which lasts for about 45 minutes or an hour. I used to have a spark to me before taking it, but I guess I'll take the good with the bad for the time being."


Anemia Associated with Chronic Renal Failure

"Couldn't  breathe  for months upon the least exertion. Extreme  fatigue once the doctors figured out I was anemic due to chronic renal disease and started me on Aranesp I  have felt much, much better. The only drawback  for me was headache for a couple of days."


"I have been battling Lice and Nits with my 2 yr old and I SWEAR BY SKLICE. This 100% works. No combing, just washing it out. THEY JUST FALL OUT!"


"I like it, I am finally able to remember times before I started feeling depressed, also I am able to connect my emotions/feelings to those memories which is great. All other ssris/snris I have taken only clouded my head and sort of numbness was always present."


"I had mirena inserted on May 27th.... Terrible pain but only for a minute. My doc was quick and talked me through the procedure. Since the 27th, I have bled constantly. It is terrible ... I have an extremely heightened sex drive but the bleeding is getting in the way. My husband wants it out he said I was better off without it. I have been very moody and tired. Also notice a weird odor but no infection is present. Ugh."


"Was feeling awful during class, ran pharmacy on my free hour and bought some Azo the Urinary pain relief. Took it in the parking lot and drank some water. Right away it started working and my discomfort was gone. Only side effect was that my pee was a much darker color than normal but once the medicine was out of my body it went back to normal. I strongly recommend this to anyone who has frequent UTIs or to even have at home for an emergency"


"After being unable to sleep for more than 15 minutes at a time for three nights in a row even with my head elevated on several pillows, the doctor gave me this.  My nonstop dry cough stopped for up to 5 hours, and then it came back, but less severe.  It doesn't last 8 hours, but it allowed me to get some much needed sleep.  Sucking sugar free cherry Luden's cough drop, and/or swallowing a teaspoon of honey without water help also. Also take Mucinex to thin secretions."


"Super effective! I have been using it as needed for about three years now; however, tonight is the first night that it has ever kept me awake. I mean literally wide awake, cleaning my house at 3AM awake. Definitely worth it and clears up congestion instantly, but taking it in the late afternoon was a huge mistake!"


"I took tramadol for three years.  I got into a car accident and had some neck pain.  Went to the doctor and he prescribed me tramadol.  It instantly made my neck feel better.  It also made me very happy and in a better mood.  I had alot more energy and just felt better all together.  I ended up getting a job at Walgreens.  This was the first job I kept for more than a month!  I stayed there for two years.  I decided to take myself off of tramadol because I didn't want to have to depend on it anymore to make me feel better.  I felt miserable and dragging at work.  I quit my job a month or so after. It's been a year and still not working.  I think I may need to get back on it."


"I have just started 50 mg of Pristiq this morning after having a mild panic attack and after about one hour I felt much better.  I have had severe panic attacks and insomnia since my tubal ligation almost a year ago.  I have been through a lot of medications that only left me to feel like a zombie and I am finding that you can compare yourself to others and put yourself in a box or you can realize that God made us all in a unique way and just because one drug works for one person does not mean it will work well for another.  I am still going to take it one day at a time and stay in prayer that the doctors I am seeing will give me medicines to get me the balance my brain needs, to have a healthy and normal life."


"I have suffered from PMDD for many years.  Exactly two weeks prior to my period I would notice a change in the way I felt.  I would become very depressed and anxious.  I would cry for no reason and have little patience with everyone around me.  After suffering for many years and trying two antidepressants that gave me bad side effects my doctor recommended serafem.  This is only my second month and I only take it 14 days prior to menses but I feel a big difference.  I don't feel as anxious and I'm not crying at every little thing.  This pill has limited my PMDD symptoms drastically.  I highly recommend for PMDD sufferers."


"This medicine was horrible for me. I started off at a low dose. It gave me horrible anxiety, mood swings and horrifying negative thoughts. I would never take this medicine again."


"It does what it's supposed to, at least for me it did.

I'm prescribed to take 10 days of 100mg Provera every night before bed every 60 days (or every two months I don't have a cycle). It makes me feel awful though. The first month I was prescribed Provera I took all 10 pills. I'm on the smaller side and I really think 100mg is just too much for my body. I have horrific constipation & gas after about 2 days on it, absolutely zero energy, and my face tends to breakout (only 1-2 small, it's always clear otherwise), it also makes me starving 24/7.  It works though."


"1 every 3 months is great. I forget I have it. Feel well balanced hormonally."


"I was diagnosed with an abdominal infection after stool testing. I took ONE pill and ended up in the ER. Within minutes of swallowing Cipro, my lips started to swell—then my eyes and whole face followed. My throat started getting scratchy so I went to the ER because I was scared my throat would swell to the point that I couldn't breathe. After this incident, I thoroughly researched Cipro and along with other drugs in its class—I will never take any of them. They are so scary. Yes, it's true that any drug can cause harm, but these drugs carry a much greater risk. Much greater."


"Fell and hurt my back 4 years ago. Suffered from Spasticity in my back, legs and neck ever since. Been taking 10 mg 3 times a day every since. To me this is one of those drugs that you really can't tell you are taking it until you run out. If for some reason I miss a dose I'm miserable. I'm not gonna say it removes all my pain, because it doesn't, but it does allow me to manage the pain I'm in better. The only side effect I noticed was when I first took it I had very vivid dreams for the first few weeks, but that went away quickly."


"Works for me. thank you."


"The only anti-inflammatory med I could take without side effects"


"I can't believe the difference tramadol has made in lifting my mood.  I began tramadol for body aches and realized the mood elevation that accompanied it.  I take 3 50 mg tablets per day and have had no need to increase the amount.  I feel motivated and have energy probably the way most non depressed people do.  I used to abuse alcohol and smoke excessively, but now have absolutely no desire to self-destruct.  I am more successful and productive in my career and I believe this pill has given me my life back."


"I am 48 and have been struggling to break my roller coaster ride that is a BI-polar . I self medicated with alcohol for a long time , I became disabled 100% and Sober In 2008. In the past when I was drinking ,I would never give any meds a chance and my diagnoses would change with Dr's . Christmas time 2015 , my cycles were steady ,I am a single Father of 4 kids and my kids did not deserve This .My mental Health provider had tried so many different drugs WARNING  !!!!! Be Honest with yourself and Your Health care team ,They are so much more effective if they know ALL OF YOUR STORY  . I felt like I was at the of my rope and I would never feel like me again . This Medicine worked me Me very very well . Keep fighting"


"Before the patch I was on the shot for two years. I decided to take it off after gaining weight (FROM 130 TO 160) and I was experiencing really bad pain in my lower abs and back at random times. I went to the hospital and they said everything looked fine so I suspected it was the birth control so I switched. So far this is my 2nd month on this patch. got my period when I was supposed to and it is so light and exact timing! the only bad side effect is I get nauseous at random times but once I eat I'm fine. no more weight gain yet, my appetite seems to be normal if not less eating than before. my boobs are always hurting and its annoying. Take my bra off right when I get home cuz I cant take it!! hopefully that will end soon!"


"Absolutely Effective!

I suffered most of my adult life with debilitating migraines. My Doc recommend that I try 25 mg at bed time (half a yellow pill) .. I rarely get migraines anymore.

I use to get migraines 4+ times a week .. now I get them MAYBE once a month (if that)

Side effects: I take this medication within one hour of wanting to be asleep. This medication kicks my ass. Knocks me out."


"After a much needed pedicure, I noticed my big toe was starting to look sort of discolored/grayish at the cuticle. A few months passed and it became worse. The toenail thickened and became flaky. I would sometimes experience excruciating pain and a throbbing sensation in my toe along with a reddened outer area. My physician prescribed Terbinafine after an initial liver function test. This test was repeated 1 month after treatment, three months after that, and since my results have been fine, he has ordered no more repeats. I am about to start my 5th month (out of 6) and am already seeing great results. It's a slow process (he said it could take a year) but my new nail is coming in great!"


"Cymbalta is a god send for me and all those people out there who suffer from depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, diabetic nerve damage, fibromyalgia, pain or what ever else it is used for. I myself have s. A. D [social anxiety disorder] and at times depression. I was taking zoloft and I still felt the anxiety so my doctor prescribed cymbalta and it took about a week 2 actually kick in and when it did I felt it and loved it and would recommend this medication to those who are trying to find a way to help them live there life with ease. It's not a cure but it is very helpful as long as you take it when you are supposed to. Cymbalta is the best. Thanks."


"This medicine works pretty well, but in gel form it is messy and takes a long time to dry. "


"I have Small Cell Cervical Cancer, a very rare cancer with an aggressive form of treatment. I had to undergo an intense amount of chemo and radiation therapy which was aimed directly at my bowels due to the field of treatment. This being said I had a lot of cells that died off in my GI tract with all treatments. I also developed an internal hemorrhoid that literally has been HELL for the last 3/4 months. Miralax has been the ONLY thing to help cure this dreadful pain during bowel movements and keeps them coming loosely every morning! This is a hugely successful.  Anyone who has ever suffered from hemorrhoids during cancer treatment to that area (impossible for it to heal & miralax made it possible!) THANK YOU!!"


"My mom was put on o.25 mg nightly Klonopin after having likely withdrawal and memory issues from Ambien.  She experienced anxiety, panic attacks and random episodes of fright/panic and memory loss.  The doctors of course raised the dose to 0.5mg given the anxiety and the symptoms got worse - more anxiety, random attacks and withdrawal symptoms in the morning.  So they raised it to 0.75mg and she got even worse. I had to take control of the situation and spread the medicine out to 3x 0.25.  This helped significantly but nervousness continued. The doctor not understanding her sensitivity decided to reduce the frequency, not the dose and this resulted in terrible withdrawal symptoms. Now using dissolved 0.125mg rapid dissolve tablets to titrate off."


"I had nexplanon implanted April 2015. I bled for about a month and have not had a period since. I had some acne before the implant but now it's become worse. I've tried new face wash and treatments and nothing is working. I also gained weight even with going to the gym everyday. I guess you have to give and take so depends on if you can handle some weight and acne for no periods."


"I started taking lexapro 2 years ago. I have always had bad nerves , but when my daughter graduated high school, I was suffering from the "empty nest syndrome". Lexapro really helped me alot and the only fall back for me was my weight gain. I went from size 10 to 16 . I am going off from the medicine now and I think that I will do okay and if I ever have to go back on something it would be this. Good Luck!"


"I am updating my last 8 star review of a week or 2 ago below in thread.

Update:  The sleep disruption/insomnia  (oftentimes waking 2-4 am and not getting back to sleep) subsided after 3 weeks of starting the generic form of Lexapro (on 10 mg for almost a month).   I am sleeping well again without assistance from Xanax.  I haven't taken X in 5 nights and sleeping my usual 7 hours.  It's wonderful.  No anxiety either.  Give this drug a chance if you can stick out the sleep problems.  It works.  I feel myself again and am not worrying over worrying about anxiety. Not afraid to go anywhere, for fear I'd get that old sense of dread and unease.  I don't even think about it.  It doesn't matter the time of day you take it by the way."


"Had Versed for cataract surgery.  OK post surgery but woke up from nap afterward with uncontrollable emotions, terrifying. It's 3 1/2 months later and I'm still having occasional flooding of anxiety and depression. Also had memory problems for 2 months.  horrific experience, I will never be given this drug again."


"Qvar has worked very well for 7 years but when they changed the cannister from 100 puffs to 120 I find I start getting shortness of breath when the inhaler goes into the red . I used to get 4 inhalers from kaiser  now I get 3 and I pay more money . So now I quit using a inhaler when it turns red. The reason I'm writing this review is I used it this morning it was down to 8 puffs and I got shortness of breath. I can't afford this med anymore. Dr says if it starts turning over  when you put it in a bowl of cold water its out before they put a counter on it."


"I took 2 of these at around 8, I fell asleep soon after.. I woke up all through the night with terrible cramps. Then at 2am I was stuck in the bathroom with diarrhea my stomach still hurts and I feel like I'm going to throw up. Never will I take this again. I have school in a few hours and I hope I'm good to go. >.<"


"I've posted here a few month ago and it's an update. I'm starting the 4th pack now, and almost everything I was complaining about went away!
During the first few months I've gained around 10 lbs, my boobs became much larger (that was super uncomfortable, bc they're large anyways), I felt a little depressed and tired (nothing I couldn't handle though, I've been living my normal life). I couldn't work as hard as I wanted. Now I've lost all the weight I've gained and me is me again. Feels like magic. Also my tastes for food changed a bit. Something I loved does not taste good for me anymore, it's strange, but fun to experience."


"Had Mirena Coil fitted on Sept 10th as my cycle was very unpredictable ranging from 16 days to over 2 months and heavy bleeding when it did arrive. Insertion was painful and almost took my breath away, had stomach and back cramps for first 5 days . Now on day 37 and have bleed or spotted for 29 of these days, having it removed on tuesday......... roll on menopause !!!!!"


"I usually only use the codeine syrup when I experience a dry, unproductive cough and even then I try to only take it in the evening so that I might be able to sleep better.  I have frequent lung infections and unfortunately this often develops into dry coughing spasms."


"Like one of the previous reviewers mentioned, OCD is the underlying cause of many other conditions.  I went through several doctors, medicines, and diagnoses before finally discovering my OCD and treating that, versus the other problems and symptoms caused by the OCD.

Luvox has been a wonderful help for me.  It has virtually eliminated all of my symptoms of OCD.  Also, what I like the best about Luvox is that it has completely eliminated my racing and intrusive thoughts.  Though people laugh, when asked, I tell people the best effect of Luvox is that it quietens the voices in my head, and I honestly feel like me again.

The only drawbacks of Luvox that I have seen are: some trouble sleeping, loss of appetite, and excessive bruising."


"I am 14 years old and I started taking Celexa a few weeks ago for depression and I took it a couple years back for anxiety. It has worked good I have been feeling depressed since the third grade and have been having uncontrolled regretful thoughts for a while. This works and I am feeling better. It gave me such a weird feeling which I think is happiness but anyway it's new thanks to this medication.  "


"I have been feeling horrible for six days.  Thought I had the flu, but was diagnosed with an Acute Upper Tract Infection. Had chills sweats loss of appetite.  Within 6 hours of taking the 2 first day pills I began to feel better.  I feel about 80% after being 30% for the last several days."


"I have been taking this drug for over 2 years.  4 days after each shot I have seen a difference.  I believe in this shot combined with Kenalog spray for light areas and Taclonex ointment for the flaky areas. I believe anyone would be 80%  cured after 6 months."


"I have been on Percocet about two years ago for degenerative disc disease. It helped a lot, but it can be habit forming. Be very careful with this medicine; take ONLY as prescribed, and it will help you."


"Not that bad! Daytime drowsiness."


"I've had generalized anxiety for about ten years, with some panic attacks.  Ended up in the ER twice in three days and saw a Dr. He prescribed hydroxyzine 25mg twice a day. Being fearful of pills, it took me a few days to give it a shot as I know many people with high anxiety are afraid of pills also and effects. I started slow and took 10mg and besides a few hot flashes an hour in ,it made me tired but relaxed. I slept fine and had no problems. I took another again today, same dose and was tired not long after. This was during the morning and I ended up literally going in and out of sleep for hours on end, hearing everything but also not awake, very strange. Anxiety a bit better, yes. Give it a try"


"I'm basically a very hard sell when it comes to taking ANY medicines, but pain is a great motivator. Oral NSAIDs have given me some minor distress in the past. A friend turned me on to Voltaren Gel . I used it on my knees, neck, and lower back. This is as close to a miracle as I have experienced in my 50  years of arthritis producing activities.

The best part is that dosing is applied directly and only to the problem areas so consequently much less ends up in your system overall than if taken orally.

Win. Win."


"The first Implanon worked phenomenal. No periods, but, I did gain a lot of weight over the 3 years of having this birth control. I've had a high increase in appetite, and lost energy. But, I decided to get another one. I've now had the second one since September 28th, 2013. And now I've been bleeding for 19 days as of today. I've lost about 15 pounds in the last 3 weeks of the bleeding. And my appetite is still increasing. I have a little more energy, but, not as much as I did before ever getting the Implanon. I always have noticed that I'm kinda "dry" down there, as before it was very lubricated... I've also noticed that I've had a lot of mood swings, and they're more often than not. "


"Landed in a number of mental health hospitals starting when I was about eight, ending when I was 17. On and off, months at a time, not constantly. 1970s medical thought was giving a boy child Ritalin would slow him down, I proved that not to always be the case as it made me bounce off of walls with hyperactivity which the psychiatrists would treat with ever increasing doses of Thorazine injected into a buttock with four-six orderlies holding me down and an RN following instructions by knocking me out with the Thorazine. I would fight the sleep but it always got me. When I was awoken between (I think) 8-12 hours later, I felt like death warmed over, could not eat, HUNGOVER, raised hell next day for it. Not cool at all to do to a child."


"I started Contrave about 3 weeks ago.  To say that it works for me would be an understatement.  I noticed the drug working the very first day that I took it (despite what my doctor said.)  I've never been on any prescription meds, so maybe that is why it worked so well for me.

For lack of a better term, I finally feel normal.  I do not crave sweets all the time, & have not snacked at bed time once while on Contrave. I eat till I'm full then stop.  I notice that I only get hungry twice a day, so I find that I have to eat more than I want just to eat my minimum calories. I had one hard cider in 3 weeks, no craving for alcohol, even when I went to a tiki bar. No side effects.

Will this drug make you lose weight?  No.  You have to want it."


"I had a yeast infection before so the doctor gave me an oral tablet and vaginal cream. It went a way for a few weeks then came back so I bought the this fire in a tube and this is my third night without sleep. I am going insane. The burning , itching is unbearable. I thought I was allergic or something. The pains of being a woman. I don't know if I can continue to use this. For four more n ights!!"


"I get very relaxed and tired, fall asleep, but I sleepwalk out to kitchen  and eat Food. I also do other  things in my sleep, but never anything dangerous.."


"I am 32 years old, (2 children 11 & 2) & just had the mirena removed yesterday, after having it for 1 year. It's the only form of birth control I have ever used, but I have friends that had used pill, shot, the arm implant & Mirena. Most agree that The mirena was the best.  Few said that theirs didn't stay in place & one said she had to have surgery to remove because it actually embedded to a part of her body it shouldn't have.
The only issue I have had this past year is weight gain and irregular periods. I had the mirena removed to see if I feel better without it, if so I'll have to try to find another form of birth control, if not I'll probably go back to the mirena.
Now that it's been removed I'm having major cramps though"


"I have been on the Pill for a month now. & it's the worst. THE WORST. Ladies do not get this. Two days in a row I've jumped up at 4:30am with the WORST lower abdominal cramps. I've also been bleeding since the 17th it is now the 30th. My sister is a nurse & INSISTED I stopped taking this. She said this isn't the first time she's heard bad things about this specific brand. Also said girls come into the hospital all the time because of this birth control with major problems. My moods have been everywhere. My sex drive has disappeared. Just don't get this!"


"I have just taken my 2nd dose see no diffrence yet but slept better last night! I have been on three diffrent antibiotics in the last 3 months and none of them worked for my sinuses but I hope this one does!"


"This medication was the WORST one yet. I felt like I was dying. I had a cough that lasted 3 months,  and it  brought on horrendous migraines which I now must take anti seizure medication to control and throbbing pain in my temple and wound up in the ER because the pain was blinding. Since I started this medication I have been in the ER twice, once for the migraine that made me vomit for 2 straight hours and then the pain in my head. The day I stopped Otezla the cough and pain in my head disappeared. I am getting discouraged because I have had this  painful disease for 40 years and I am tired of the disappointment after trying numerous drugs that make me feel worse. Humira worked the best but unfortunately it stopped working after 4 years."


"Phenergan is an excellent medication for sleep and nausea. It also helps with pain associated with headaches.  Phenergan allows your stomach to feel much better and your pain to slightly subside.  It's a good night's rest guaranteed.  Phenergan had absolutely no side effects, aside from sedative effects...which were welcomed after I had been so ill with nausea and vomiting.  A     Take it, feel better, and get back to life."


"Did not work for me at all.  Out of the several Overactive bladder medicines I have tried, this one was the worst for me. In fact, it made my symptoms worse.  Urgency, accidents, pain and frequency all grew worse and within a matter of days I was back wearing disposable briefs because I had very little bladder control.  Once I stopped it and switched to Sanctura, things improved."


"Have been taking Ultram off and on for moderate back pain for about a year.  This has had very little effect on the frequency, duration, or severity of my RLS."


"First off I'll start by saying that not everyone is the same so this BC will obviously react differently to different people, buying birth control is simply a game where you have to try them all to find one that truly works how you want. So I'm on my 2nd week of this and so far so good! I've had no bleeding, very mild cramps nothing that I can't handle. My main reason for being on BC is obviously not to get pregnant but I have ALWAYS had ridiculous periods. Most of the time I pass out at least 1 time during my cycle, due to cramps so the cramps I've experienced while taking this haven't been nearly as bad as the ones I've experienced so over all super excited about that. Packaging is kinda bulky but I have a big purse so no worries!"


"I have been on Bontril since December 28th 2010. I am pleased to say that I have lost 7 pounds the first week and 6 pounds the second week and tomorrow will be 3 weeks and I have lost 3 this week. In total I have lost 16 pounds so far. I have experienced the dry mouth, suppressed appetite, and headaches. However, none of them bad enough to make me stop yet. When I look in the mirror I am so pleased. I started out at 171 pounds and now am at 155 pounds. Everyday I am excited to see what my scale says once I get up. I would recommend this to anyone that needs to lose weight. LOTS of WATER will make you feel full so it is very much needed. I haven't been able to exercise yet due to an injury in back."


"This is my second experience using Advair inhaler.  The first time I used it, it was like a miracle.  My asthma disappeared.  After using the inhaler for about 1 year, my asthma returned and worsened.  I visited a naturopath and was advised to change my diet.  I stopped gluten, citrus, soy and dairy foods.  Once again, my asthma disappeared for about a year.  When it returned to the point that my rescue inhaler was being used too frequently, the Dr. recommended that I return to advair.  Once again, it worked.  But, here I am three months later and my asthma is worsening.  What is one to do?"
