Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I put both bottles in a ziplock bag filled with ice in my fridge 3 hours before my first dose (I think this helped a great deal to make it able to drink quickly). Started Suprep at 6 pm - drank 16 oz mixture in 20 minutes - started 1st 16 oz of water 5 minutes later then immediately started 2nd 16 oz of water.  Was done with water by 7 pm. Had to go to bathroom for first time about 30 minutes after drinking Suprep - after about 20 minutes, I was able to take 2 Gas-x tablets as directed. Visited bathroom for the next hour on a regular basis. By 8.30 pm the rush to get to the bathroom was over. Hopefully the 6.45am prep will go as well."


"I have been on this medication for 5 days now, for a possible UTI my Doctor diagnosed. It makes me feel terrible, like depressed. On top of it, it gives me insomnia. I was trying to find out on these reviews if anybody experiences insomnia too."


"Severe Migraines/Cluster Headaches: 8  years. Intensity/frequency varies.  intensity is around 9-10(10 point scale) frequency is around 3 - 4 per week, some lasting 2 -3 days. I have tried many medications, most Triptans - Maxalt, Zomig, Relpax, Frova. Axert works well for me, but when it doesn't I use Alsuma Injection. It works like a Epipen injection you give yourself. Place the pen against your skin and push hard. There is a jolt, and then the needle point emerges and you keep it there for 5 seconds. The pain from the prick is not bad because the needle is small. The jolt is kinda scary. I have to brace myself, but way worth it. It WORKS. Some nausea, but not much other side effects. I usually go to sleep right after I take it."


"Doctors are getting me prepped for a revision to a septic artificial knee (replacement) They have removed the damaged parts and sutured me back up, waiting for the anti-biotics to clean the leg. The first week on Tramadol was effective for pain but in the 4th week 200mg a day does almost nothing for the pain. To sleep I have to return to 15mg of Hydrocodone before bed."


"I am 21, no kids. Chose skyla for period regulation and pregnancy control, and was previously on oral pills. The insertion was excruciatingly painful, I screamed on the measuring and insertion. Then I had horrible cramps that made me double over. No bleeding. Now I have a severe yeast infection causing blisters on my vulva, and am extremely tired and sensitive. I would not recommend this. Ultrasound is tomorrow for week after checkup, may get it removed! Do not do it. The horror stories are true! I tried to be positive about it but there is nothing positive now, hospitalization may be in my future. I'm seriously concerned for my health. This is one big "T" shaped mistake! I regret everything about it, and am now stuck out of work."


"I feel better in general, however there are times I feel awful, and when my BP was tested during one of those times it was lower than without meds, but still too high 140/90. However without meds, I feel awful all the time.

Side effects include leg cramps, calf twitching, and excessive urination. Cramps are semi-relieved by staying hydrated. Tiredness and dizziness stopped after the first couple days.

I am on the lowest dose, I suspect my doctor will increase it a bit."


"This medicine is a lifesaver. It enables me to travel. It lets me do just about anything. I had a cholecystectomy 5 years ago and still suffer from chronic diarrhea. I was taking cholestyramine before this. The cholestyramine worked, but it is very difficult to take especially when traveling. You have to time your other medicines and be able to mix it in a drink. With Lotronex I just take one pill and I'm good for the day. I still have to take Lomotil several times a day, but you don't want to overdose on the Lotronex due to ischemic colitis. This medicine is expensive but definitely worth it!"


"I was under huge amounts of stress. Divorce, Lost my home my car and no child support. Then 2 of my kids left for college. I went on like this for 3 years and finally broke down. I couldn't function I couldn't go out in public, I hated life, l felt like the worst person in the world and wanted to die. I finally went to the doc. She gave me 50mg and it made my anxiety sky rocket...helped my depression though. Cut me back to 25mg No luck, went back to 50mg with Ativan as needed. Finally after 2 months I went up to 100 mg with clonazepam as needed and now I am depression and anxiety free and no more clonazepam. No more negative ruminating thoughts, no more feelings of worthlessness. It has brought me back to life which I have not felt for YEARS!"


"When I first got Paragard my periods were very heavy for the first 9 months and they lasted 9 days! Now, I've had my birthcontrol for 1 year and 2 months and my periods last 5-6 days and are moderate! Also, I had mild cramping in the beginning and now I have no cramping at all! :D

I LOVE PARAGARD. The only birthcontrol that works for me and HORMONE-FREE!"


"It was alright, but truthfully I used apple cider vinegar and rubbing alcohol to cure my ear infection at least 3/4 times faster than this med did. Tummy issues with this and it took forever to kick in...unless it was just my natural hippy dippy remedy"


"I was a smoker for at least 25 yrs. Tried a few times to stop on my own w/o much success. When I asked my Doc for Chantix he prescribed it and it totally worked by the time I completed 1st script! No bad side effects at all but a good side effect, prior to taking I always had terrible nightmares. Once on Chantix those completely stopped. This was 5 yrs ago and have never had a craving for a smoke since, even when in a room with smokers! This stuff was amazing, thank you!!!!!"


"Started taking this and made me feel sick to my stomach as well as feel not with it very tired and had headaches.   The worst part is the last pill before bed time I had to set an alarm and eat crackers then take pill.  Then in the morning  I didnt want to get up and felt very worn.  I still have 4 more days and hope I make it.  Will have to recheck with my results on how I did.  Oh and also the cost of therse even with insurance  was $250.00 all i can say is they better work."


"I got this put in on 8/28/2014. It is 8/15/2015. I hate this. I gained about 30 lbs and cannot lose it. I am extremely moody. I haven't had a period since I got it injected. I am tired all the time. I'm going to call and make an appointment to get this thing out ASAP. I even joined a weight loss program and I didn't lose any weight. And the health mentor said I should have lost like 30lbs already."


"I have been on this pill for almost a year now. It does its job in that I have not gotten pregnant and it does give me a regular period (when I'm not on birth control, I rarely get periods). However, I have pretty much no sex drive whatsoever and am very dry. This is quite troublesome, and I will be looking for a new pill soon."


"At 19 I started experiencing SEVERE cystic acne-constant dime, penny, and nickel sized cysts, usually 3-5+ in various spots on my face at a time. They were embarassing & extremely painful to the point of having limited facial movement/expression. After 2 years of trying everything possible (including painful cortisone shots!) I went to a new derm who finally let me try Zenatane (generic brand Accutane). My acne did get worse at first, then I began to see real results at ~ month 5. After 9 months of treatment I was completely clear & have been clear ever since. I did experience many side effects such as extreme dryness, INSANE mood swings, bad body aches, hemorrhoids, tirediness, & more, but it was all worth it. Don't give up on the process!"


"I was just diagnosed with narcolepsy past week, my Dr gave me Nuvigil samples of both 150mg and 250mg. First three days I just got progressively sleepier. I was head bobbing and micro sleeping. He asked me to take the 250. It didn't kick in for over an hour and when it did I fell asleep standing up at work and caused myself so much embarrassment that I had two subsequent Cataplexy attacks moments later. I was like a sleeping pill."


"I started the patch 2 days ago. I thought it was fine and everything. My doctor didn't tell me the side effects of tell me I would have any at all. Past 2 days I haven't had any other symptoms but this past moring I woke up and I couldn't handle it. I tried to stay asleep but I felt like I had to throw up. I got up and ran to the bathroom and puked for a good 10 minutes. Now I know why I had so many headaches. Glad I quit before it got worse tho. I don't like it and I wouldn't recommend it."


"Yes, the migraine went away. Its the side effects. Appetite immediately went down the drain, irritable, most of all itchy. Itchy all over like crawling skin. Even worse the itching focused on my manhood if ya catch the drift. Loosing my mind.... I don't recommend it."


"I have been taking opiates for years. In the last year and a half it really spiralled out of control. I was completely addicted to oxycontin. I had to have it everyday and spent so much money on it. I tried several times to quit cold turkey. The physical withdrawals I could handle but PAWS was another story. I never made it past 2 weeks. Finally i tried Suboxone. I am on day 10 and it has been so easy. I take 8mg twice a day and will reduce it to 4mg twice a day. While I know iIwill need to get off the Suboxone at some point, it is better than buying oxy's everyday and spending goodness knows how much money. My only regret is that I didn't go on it sooner. I am so happy with myself and feel like I have my life back."


"I am amazed at how this medication changed my life. I often compare myself to a duck in water, where the problems just glide right over me, which never used to be the case.  Issues that may have cause depression or anxiety in the past are now handled without confusing emotions.  The only reason I give it a 9 are the horrific side effects if I miss even one dose.  Strange nightmares, shaking, confusion and even an odd ability to sleep for more than 10 hours straight. Does it deter me from continuing with this medication? Absolutely not."


"This stuff works better than anything else.  Don't waste your time with all the OTC stuff.  After I started Valtrex my cold sore was gone in two days"


"Just started taking it this morning and still in excruciating pain. Guess I will have to take it for a few days to see if it works."


"I to have suffered since 12 years old of bladder infections. I am now 45 yrs old. I was so hoping this would be my miracle but unfortunately it is not. I so hoped it would work but am back to bladder infections. It just makes life so difficult.
I also suffer from irritable bowel syndrome."


"Last night before I went to bed I was feeling very constipated. I took 2 Dulcolax laxative tablets and went to bed. Today I am at work and I took my lunch break at noon. I started feeling like I had to lets say "go". I went in the bathroom and was in there for almost a half an hour,and lets just say I was sitting down that entire time. I now feel 100% better and I would recommend this product to anyone who is suffering from constipation."


"I have been on the patch for 4 years. This is the best birth control method. Of course like anything, your body has to get used to a foreign object that's attached to your body and let's estrogen through your skin. Your body will go through changes (nausea, sweats, headaches), but good luck finding a method that will leave you symptom free. Once you get through that yucky part, you'll notice weight gain and also your breasts will get larger and tender. For most, I don't think this goes away. For myself, I do have a little bit of a tummy (I'm 105lbs) and my boobs have gone up a whole cup size. I find the patch to be insanely convenient. After years of using it, I have zero problems with it. I can only say great things about this BC method!"


"I've been on Bactrim for about 4 years now. Once per day. When I stop taking it my acne flares up. Hopefully it's not something I have to take for the rest of my life, by it definitely works when used!"


"I mean I love the pill the only problem I seem to have with it is headaches and trying to remember to take it every day at the same time.... But I havnt had a problem with the other side effects at all sense being on it and have only been on it for two months."


"I am new at taking anastrozle (30 days).  For the past week or so I found it impossible to get up and around for work because I was so sleepy.  I think it has increased my lower back pain and it has been hard getting up from bed due to pain and stiffness.

My oncologist advised me to quit today until we can discuss alternatives. I am 59 and had a partial mastectomy and radiation."


"I started Trinessa because I had horrible cramps to the point where I would lay on the bathroom floor for days, and my doctor said that it would fix this. Although it lessened this symptom somewhat, I have had insane mood swings, depression, and nausea. Crying for no reason with depressing thoughts for 10-14 days is not worth a little less stomach pain every month. I'm going to try to switch brands soon."


"Effective and not irritating"


"I have recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and have found Lamictal (lamotrigine) to not only balance my mood, but to elevate me back to feeling human.  This is profound and very refreshing.  Having experienced mild to very severe depression all of my life, I have also had an acute and moderately severe manic episodes. Over the past two months I have worked my Lamictal dose very slowly up to 200mgs of Lamictal coupled with 25 to 100mg of Seroquel (primarily for insomnia and secondarily for mood).  Side effects have included memory loss, word recall problems, and distinct weight gain (even though I exercise often and rigorously).  Overall I would say this is a wonderful medicine."


"I am not enforcing anybody to use this drug, that is not my intention, but I have to express how happy I am to my general practionair for prescribing me this wonderful pill. I have been extremely anxious for several days, so anxious I failed to attend my driving test. I have had chest pain and tightness for several days. Once I took 5mg Diazepam (Valium), within 1.5 hours it was all gone, the anxiety had subsided and I was able to sleep like a baby throughout the whole night. It is morning now, and I still don't feel anxious, neither am I experiencing any pains or tightness anymore. Definitely 10/10."


"Developed extreme pain in left leg radiating up to hip. Sinus problems and sleeplessness"


"I was taking Hydroxyzine as a possible help to fight anxiety, so that I can begin to start the process of weaning myself off Klonopin. Never take them together, however. After the last couple nights, I will never take Hydroxyzine again, if that is what is causing the most bizarre dreams I have ever had in my life. Not really nightmares, but just very strange and hard to wake up from!"


"I started the shot in 8th grade, before high school. I'm now 17, a junior and considering a different method. I was 121 pounds for a few years before I started. Now I'm 180 and still climbing. The hormones make me feel hungry all the time. Joining a fitness club for a year did not help either. I feel moody often and sad. It did a great job of protecting me and preventing pregnancy. I barely have a period and when it does come, it seems to be off and on for about 2 weeks. For anyone considering this, just be careful of what you eat and make sure your already exercising. Don't listen to your brain telling you that your hungry, listen to your stomach."


"Doctor had me on Xanax three times a day to try and stop my anxiety depression from furthering. While Xanax is wonderful for anxiety, be careful, the withdrawal can be nasty if you don't get off it properly. Needless to say I get timid taking it now cause of that. However, it helps in times of crisis."


"Ok so I'm 18 I'm have been taking these for a little under a year and it keeps you very attentive  specially because I have school and after school  activities along with homework.  It does help you focus although it suppresses my appetite a little too much I try to force myself to eat but it  seems like I can't. I have a loss about 25 pounds and went from a size 8 to a 4 in jeans because of this medication. I don't know if anyone else experienced this but it won't allow me to keep food or fluids in my system I continue to run to the bathroom all night and all day sometimes even at four in the morning. But for the most part it's a good product for what it's used for."


"Injection wasn't painful. Only sore a day or two. Spotting everyday for the first month, no period at all the second month, spotted every day the third month, stopped for a week and spotted for another 3 weeks straight. I've gained 22 lbs, 15 being in the first two months. I was losing baby weight and then it just stopped once I had this inserted. I always feel bloated."


"Caused a decrease in sex drive and harder to maintain an erection"


"The side effects of this medicine ALMOST KILLED ME!!! I had trouble breathing. It lowered my left ventricle ejection fraction 30-35% to 15-20%, and I went from a normal sized heart to severely enlarged in just 6 months.

Read about the side effects and the incomplete clinical trials this medicine maybe detrimental to your health."


"Since being off birth control for about 4 years I decided I wanted to try a mini pill. I have endometriosis and my doctor had mentioned it could help with ovarian cysts. Since day 1 of taking this pill I have been bleeding. It's now the end of my pack and I still have had bleeding throughout the entire time. I don't really want to continue taking it if this is going to continue, the point of going on the pill was to prevent pregnancy but if I'm bleeding all month anyways I don't even have sex- so there's no point. I have also never had acne and now it's all over my face which makes me depressed and my self-esteem is now horrible! The only thing I like about this pill is the fact that I didn't gain weight and my moods are decent."


"I had my Mirena put in a year and a half ago. I have two kids but didn't want to commit to getting my tubes tied so I decided to go with Mirena and at first it was great, my periods got lighter. Over time I noticed I put on about 5 lbs which wasn't bad but then it was another 5 then another. Its been very gradual but for the life of me I just can't lose it and I continue to gain weight. Other then the weight gain I've started breaking out, not just on my face but on my chest and back. All in all I love not having a heavy period or having to take the pill everyday but I have decided to get it removed since I haven't been able to counteract the side effects I've had."


"Prozac has really helped me a lot. I was having all kinds of anxiety thoughts and having stomach pain caused my anxiety. I had a eye twitch for about a month that went away. I highly recommend this or Lexapro for anxiety!"


"Mirena is an exceptional form of birth control I've had it since July 2010. I still suffer from side effects I have uncontrollable mood swings. I go in and out of depression. I have two periods a month now, one of them is light the other can be moderate to pretty heavy. The day of my insertion I started cramping so bad I was nauseated but was fine the next day about the only thing that has gotten better is that I don't have menstrual cramps any longer I have experienced weight gain and fluctuation but I've always struggled with my weight so I don't solely blame that on Mirena, as well as my acne its hasn't improved or gotten worse but Mirena is my preferred method of birth control, it works and I couldn't do the pill or the shot."


"I have had the Mirena for 3 years. The doctor recommended the Mirena because I had such bad menstrual cycles. The actual procedure of putting it in was just slightly painful. It will be different for everyone since we are all slightly different. I did suffer some cramping for a few days after and had light spotting for about 2 months. After the spotting I no longer suffered terrible cycles I may spot for a day every 6 months or so. We all have different bodies but for me this works! I am looking forward to another."


"I started taking Adipex -phentermine35.7 August 6, 2015 weighing 195.7. I take half a pill in the morning and another half around 1. I am on my 9th day today and weighing in at 181.1. That is 14.6 lbs in 9 days. I drink a ton of water, which the dry mouth helps me with that. I follow a very strict Atkins diet and I do not miss a meal. I have not given it a 10 because I want see what happens when I get to my weight goal and stop the medication. I was jittery for the first week, but that has passed."


"I Had Extreme Acne, Pimples, Dark Spots, And Red face, oily as well. I was prescribed EpiDuo by my doctor, and I saw results in about 1 week, pretty much almost all of my face clearing up. Then a couple days ago, when I applied it, my face burned horribly, I thought it was my cleanser, but it wasn't. EpiDuo makes your skin dry and burn, but only for a little bit, still a good acne cream!"


"I've been taking Provigil (200mg) a day now for about a year.  My neurologist prescribed it for my MS fatigue.  At first, I felt like I was having a "party in my head", but that only lasted for a week or so.  I also got a slight headache during this time.  Nothing huge that a normal dose of Advil wouldn't solve.  That doesn't happen anymore though.  I definitely have to take it early in the morning or I will be up too late (2-3 AM).  I find that I am much more focused on whatever task I need to do, including driving.  When my husband and I go on a road trip I seem to be the one who will NOT get sleepy and "entranced" by long miles in the dark.  Definitely, Do Not have any alcohol with this medicine, even 1 or 2 drinks = unfun!"


"I had Nexplanon inserted 8/13. Insertion wasn't bad, the thought of it was worse than the actual procedure. Little to no bruising, the healing process was quick and painless. The first few months I only had spotting here and there a couple times during the month. Then no spotting or periods, no cramps or any other of my usual symptoms. But right at a year, I started having monthly, slightly heavier, periods, which then progressed into two periods a month. One is worse than the other, heavy, cramps and overall fatigue. I still spot, randomly. Mainly during/after sex. Overall, I love the effectiveness and ease of Nexaplanon, I don't see myself changing any time soon, but I will talk to my doctor about the periods."


"I've been taking 150mg for 2 weeks now. I felt the effects in just a few days.  I have a lot of energy, and has increased my thirst. I've lost a few pounds. My only problem is sleep. I've been taking zolpidem for 3 years (5 mgs) and isn't helping much. I've taken a few other antidepressants in the past, and this has been the most effective."


"This medicine helps in curing the voices and delusional thoughts that sometimes come with schizoaffective disorders.But the worst side of this medication is complete weight gain.  I went from size 2 to 14. It also makes your boobs grow bigger and stops the menstrual periods.The drug stays in the system for a long period of time.  I stopped it in May and it’s been 5 months but I keep on gaining weight and boobs keep getting bigger and bigger. Worst medication ever! I have to deal with the weight gain and this causes a lot of insecurities especially for a lady! But the doctor told me that it gradually comes out of the system with time. So still hoping that my life will get back to normal with time."


"Y'all are all such babies to be adults I mean really. The side effects suck but when it comes to actually doing what its prescribed it does a great job. Suck it up people."


"I've been taking 40mg of Fetzima daily for the past 9 months.  For me it's hands down the best antidepressant I've ever tried.  My mood is significantly better and I have more energy.  Most importantly it has lifted my need for other mood altering medicines.  I have been sober for four months without really trying.  Amazingly I no longer feel the need to "escape" reality.  I hope and pray it continues to work as it's given me a glimpse of what life without addiction and depression can be.  It's been life changing.
As for side effects I have noticed an increase in irritability.  I have had inconsistencies in the bedroom as well.  Sometimes good, sometimes bad.  Overall well worth it for me!"


"My injections are done in the morning and before I take Victoza my sugar is at 102. It was getting out of control with Amaryl and Metformin only. This has been the "answer" for me.  I have had a little bruising from injections but that is the only side effect."


"I have been on this for 2 days and already lost 3 pounds. I am not hungry at all and I love it so far. Really haven't had any side effects."


"Full-blown panic attack at age 33, prescribed Xanax 0.25 mg for several years. No problems but general anxiety still existed.  Went off medication several times and within one year of each attempt other panic attacks set in; solely prescribed 100 mg Sertraline.  Have never had another panic attack but have gotten close to experiencing one several times. Am now 66 years of age.  What a boon this medication has been for me!"


"I had a terrible experience on this drug. It resulted in me having regular panic attacks, heart palpitations, caused me to become trapped in negative state and paranoid. I'm not one who reviews meds very often but this medication proved to be very dangerous for me. I spent a lot of time in a state of paranoia. My Dr did not listen to me when I kept stating it wasn't right for me. In the end I reduced my dose ( I don't condone this though ) and have been off it for around 4 months now. I can honestly say I'm doing much better , able to function, don't stay on states of paranoia etc. I'm also able to make clear choices etc."


"I have had chronic migraines for 16 years.  Because of my hyper-sensitivity to many medications (antidepressants, Topamax, Depakote, and the list keeps going), I had a great deal of trouble finding a preventative medicine that my body could tolerate at a therapeutic dose. Keppra keeps my migraines to a minimum (about 8 per year, which is so much better than the every-other-day I was experiencing).  I do have some fatigue and depression as side effects, but they are worth the trade off."


"This medication opened up a whole new world for me.  I developed a very bad anxiety & panic disorder and lived with it for years. Therapy and many other medications did not help! Didn't notice much of a difference initially but by the time I was up to 1mg 3 times a day my life so greatly improved.  I currently take another medication (Xanax).  I was taken off the medication because I became an alcoholic. When I detoxed from alcohol I was immediately taken of Klonopin. My only concern for people that are taking it is that if they decide to stop, please withdraw from it properly by a gradual reduction over a period of time.  The hospital took me off of it without gradually reducing it.  The withdrawal was horrible!"


"Although the pill did make me last longer it also gave me heartburn and blurred vision and some other side effects"


"After the birth of our son, my husband and I decided that the shot would be our best option. Didn't have to take a pill every day and no periods.
So on July 18 2014 I had my first shot. I began soaking through 12 to 28 tampons daily. I was hospitalized for that, and once again for a fainting episode due to anemia.
I never went back for my second shot. It is now just over a year later. I am still bleeding. My husband and I haven't had sex for a year because of the intensity of the pain and bleeding.
I have tried everything from soy isoflavones, to ibuprofen and iron, to estrogen therapy, to other forms of birth control.
They say I have to let it wear off, but it's so bad that I have trouble caring for my child because of fatigue."


"Side effects for me are pain & weakness in right leg, knee, ankle.  Also, have had some afib.  My INR has been dropping.  Also, on Coumadin.  Have been on Dofetilide for 2 mos."


"It didn't work for me at all."


"Didn't have much impact on my blood pressure and I had to discontinue due to side effects.  Extreme dry mouth, fatigue and drowsiness.  Falling asleep at work and struggling to stay awake while driving."


"I have ear popping from sinus problems. It toke a couple weeks before I noticed a difference but it dose work well. Thank you!"


"I have suffered from anxiety problems my whole life, but it was easily managed until I turned 23 (2.5 years ago) when it blew up and every month got much worse. In Dec 2012, I was diagnosed with severe generalized anxiety disorder, moderate panic disorder, and moderate agoraphobia. I also have Irritable Bowel Syndrome-D, and combined with anxiety, I always had to be near a bathroom - any time I left the house I had diarrhea. Couldn't go shopping alone, do drive throughs, etc. Started this and almost immediately felt a bit better, minimal side effects (insomnia/headache 1st 3 days, itchy armpits 1st week) and it has taken the edge off lots. Have done many things I couldn't. No weight gain so far, very happy. Only big anxiety triggers bother me a bit, and Imodium use decreased LOTS! No mental fog!"


"After the barbaric method of putting me under more than 50 years ago (they made me breath ether directly off a face mask) this propofol was a god sent. I closed my eyes for what seemed like 5 seconds and when I opened my eyes the procedure was done!"


"I've read so many horror stories about this drug, that I thought I best give a good review! I've gone from a self-harming mess. Scared of getting in my car because I might crash and die. Walking past a pond and not wanting to commit suicide, but thinking I could happily sink to the bottom and be at "peace". I've been on 150mg for three months now. I sing to my dogs again, I laugh at stupid stuff, I'm productive in work. I lost two stone in ten weeks from not eating and I didn't realise how ill I was until I went to see my Dr. I'm happy to put up with the teeth clenching and the fact that it's really hard to orgasm because I feel human again. Get past the first three weeks side effects when you feel AWFUL!! I've never felt better now though."


"I started Stelara Sept 2014.  By January 2015, psoriasis are worse than they have ever been.  I even have patches on my face!  I've suffered with psoriasis for 30 years."


"For the last several months I was having what You call "Blushing Attacks"? at work. Uncontrollable intense blushing when I had to socialise with several people at one time. However, after my Doctor prescribed this drug to Me, I took 10 mg today before My shift and just like that there was nothing. I felt nervous sometimes but My body just remained in total control with no sweating or embarrassing red face. I would have taken 15 mg's on further thought, but it basically did the trick. I didn't really feel drowsy or anything just way more rational in thought and more or less laid back, and less stressed at the end of My shift."


"Found pill to be very good no side effects lost 10 lb in 3 weeks"


"Once the Cluster Headache begins, it takes 11 minutes for the medication to kick in and eliminate the headache for me."


"I am 22 years old and have had implanon inserted twice. By my 23rd birthday in September, I will be due for the 3rd insert. I first got implanon when I was 16 after failing with the patch and the shot. I spotted for about 2 weeks when I first had it inserted and then I didn't have a period for about a year and returned to normal. The second insert caused me to spot for a few days, and after that I've had light, sporadic periods. I haven't had any unusual weight gain. I met my ex boyfriend right before my 18th birthday and were together until I was 21, having unprotected sex all the time. When we broke up, he ended up impregnating another woman so the birth control worked. I plan to keep getting implanon inserted until I'm ready for a family"


"Sertraline changed my life. My anxiety attacks began in the fall, and as a university student, there were little options or ways to cope without it affecting my studies and social life. I eventually stopped going to class, believing that there was going to be no solution. I began taking sertraline and even with a small dose (which eventually increased) I felt better. I almost feel better than I did before I was aware of my anxiety. I wasn't educated and was a non-believer thinking that medication could truly solve problems in your head but after finally listening and taking advice it did for me. May not work for everyone, but thought I would share my experience."


"I was nervous to get Mirena after reading reviews, but my doc strongly encouraged for medical reasons. About 3.5 months ago I got the IUD inserted. While I survived, I'm still haunted by how painful it was. There was a slight complication (apparently my uterus was tilted so the 1st attempt at insertion failed & she had to give me a numbing shot IN THE VAG & adjust my uterus) the 2nd attempt succeeded but the cramps were so intense. Cramps lasted 2 days & I bled for 2 weeks straight. After that my period came normal but lasted a couple days extra. My last period was slightly lighter than usual so I'm hoping it drops off soon. So far it's been worth the pain bc periods are more bearable, it's super effective & nice to not worry about a pill"


"I started taking Phentermine on 2/20/15.  My weight was 418.5.  As of 4/9/15 My weight dropped to 396.5.  22 lbs down!  I can't express my happiness.  I can't say that I have been absolutely strict and following the plan my doctor set forth but nevertheless with the changes I have made I am seeing results.  I think out of the entire 7 weeks I exercised 1 full week.  Other than that I have basically just been making changes in my eating habits leaving bread, pasta, and sugar completely alone.  My goal is to lose 100 lbs by the end of 2015 and I really do believe that Phentermine will help me accomplish that!  My experience with the drug has been terrible dry mouth and sometimes spurts of energy.  Good luck to everyone."


"I was real scared about getting Implanon after reading about it. The process about 15 mins. They numb your arm and it does burn going in for about a min. Then they use another needle to insert. I felt the pressure of them putting it in. I turned my head the whole time so I didn't see anything. Afterwards I had to sit for a couple of minutes to make sure I wouldn't have an allergic reaction. A couple of days later, the small hole in my arm started to itch really bad because it was healing. The first month nothing happened. I had it inserted while on my period. The second month I was on period for a whole month but it wasn't a regular period. It wasn't as heavy but it was darker than usual. I called my doctor and she said that was normal. I recommend Implanon."


"I have been taking 160mg/25  for 5 years & have had no problems. No side affects at all. Had to change as insurance company will not pay for it $126.00 month."


"This drug made my executive functioning a lot better, but it also almost immediately made me super down and caused partial seizures (I have no history of epilepsy). It may have triggered an episode of psychosis as well but I am still uncertain whether it was a psychotic episode or a seizure as I also lost control and sensation in my limbs while hallucinating before losing consciousness completely. I would not recommend this drug."


"I was on Cymbalta for up to just under two weeks ago. At one point, I was on 90mg for a short period of time. Last December, I dropped it. Only because it, meaning Cymbalta, left me mostly feeling fatigued. The anxiety came back and last month, April/2011 restarted it again back on 60mg. Everything was going fairly well, then I experienced a rash on my forehead, itching. My throat felt as if it was closing up on me. Stopped it cold turkey and went through a roller coaster of mostly aggressive moods. It was an allergic/adverse reaction."


"I do take Bentyl on occasion for IBS but wondering if anyone with the Eustachian Tube problem is seeing any relief with Bentyl. My ears are driving me crazy.  I did have a huge weight loss several years ago and my NET seems to think this created my ear problem.  Weight gain seems to be my only option at this point but I am comfortable at my current weight.  Anybody else having the echo/roaring problem???"


"Hi all, I only just picked up the prescription today and just wanted to say that I was feeling nervous about side effects but after reading quite a few of your stories, I am now feeling very positive. My specialist is in the Gastroenterology Dept. at the hospital and the hospital Pharmacy supplied them, no cost whatsoever. It's a 12 week course.

I thought this tiredness, lack of energy, lack of concentration and the feeling of a foggy brain was from depression, now after reading your stories I realize it's from the HepC. I am so happy to read that all those symptoms disappear while taking Harvoni and that people are now cured.

Looking forward to reading more positive stories and watching mine and others progress."


"Ten years ago I developed terrible insomnia.  I am a lawyer, and getting 2-3 hours of restless sleep a night nearly ruined me.  I was first on Ambien, which never gave me real rest. Eight years late, I am still taking 3 mg of Lunesta every night.  I sleep 7-8 hours every night.  I have never developed a tolerance to it, never had sleepwalking or other issues.  In fact, on Lunesta, I dream!  My sleep cycle is pretty much normal. This has given me ten years of steady sleep, with no real side-effects.  When I go off it for a night or two, I have no major rebound issues. Lunesta has literally given me my life back, and the confidence I will sleep every night."


"Took 1 8mg Cardura daily.  Experienced dizziness and nausea for the first 3 days but later adjusted to the medication and  maintained pressure around 120/80.  On doctor's advise, Cardura discontinued and replaced with alternative medication due to  excessively fast pulse/heart rate up to 100/s after 6 months on Cardura"


"I began Brintellix @ 5mg/day. I was under a tremendous amount of stress at work (throwing up from anxiety on my way to work). I did not have any side effects and this may be because I had been taking Effexor for the first time ever in the month leading up to this.  Effexor gave me terrible nausea and general strange feelings.  I stopped the Effexor when I began Brintellix. Brintellix balanced my moods and even helped with my anxiety, which I have been told it tends not to help with.  Within a month or so I felt normal again, I hadn't felt like that in years.  YEARS! I was enjoying music, gardening, and WANTED to exercise again, and that helped tremendously.  I SLEEP SOOOO MUCH BETTER!  My pysch Dr was shocked insurance covered the drug."


"Wow! I should not be susprised after all I did pray for fast relief from that miserable symptoms I had. I hate to think that someone with have to do without because they could not afford this med. "


"I am 89 years old today. My doctor and I have been working deligently for at least two years to find the right  combination to lower my high blood press. I experienced the worst side effects of each.  Several months ago he combined Bystolic, Benica, Spironilactone and Norvasc. My blood pressure is holding a very comfortable 130/135 over 60/66.  Side effects seem to be I require 8 to 10 hours sleep at night. That I am not used to. I am clearing up a rash,which I believe is from Toprol.  Other than that I believe I am being plagued with that A.G.E. disease; can't avoid that one."


"Let me first agree with all the comments that it doesn't taste good. But it is much better for me than my previous experience with Golitely which did not. Be sure to chill everything thoroughly before starting...I used a very long drink straw and put it to the upper rear of my mouth so it mostly went past my tongue and it isn't too bad that way with a Gatorade green apple chaser.  I had much less cramping and appears to have done the intended job well. Just be near the toilet and tell your family to not get in the way."


"I have only had the Implanon for 4 weeks and am going in today to have it removed. I chose this because its an "out of sight out of mind" easier birth control. But the side effects for me have been horrendous. I have had severe anxiety, mood swings, and depression. And instead of little issues rolling right off my shoulders it feels as though its the end of the world. I've never struggled with this before. I've also had literal thoughts of suicide and self harm. Also, caused my sex drive to become pretty much non-existent. Coming from a woman who has been with the same man for 12 years and could have sex 3x per day. I started having no sex drive and had very dry vagina."


"Started taking 10mg then up to 25 for severe long term migraines/ headaches. Meds work well, am considering lowering dosages and getting off medicines all together to start family now though."


"Bactrim takes about a week before you see the changes. You must stay on the medicine or the acne will come back within two to three days of stopping."


"I have been on CellCept for almost 3 years. I started taking it with an IVIG treatment and was taken off the IV to see if I can get by with just the CellCept. My oncologist wants me off it because of the increased risk of lymphmona. I will start trying to get off it in April."


"Get sores on the inside of my nose every time I try to use this."


"I got prescribed Anafranil after not impressive effects of tritico and zoloft, and yeah, it worked for a few months, but I had to up my dosage every now and then. However after around 4 months of taking it, it stopped working, I capped the dosage, and had to switch therapists, as the former had no idea what to do with severe depression. However what I'd like to share is the withdrawal part. In the time I was off it, it was really bad, imagine being constantly drunk. You can not focus, your view is shifting, everything seems to be floating, also like a lagging game, it feels as the visual part comes later than the audio. Really weird, so if you are on it or planning to try, ask your doctor for a way to take it out gradually."


"My 14 yr old son takes this medication for ADHD. He had bad side effects from Ritalin and so his Psychiatrist put him on dextroamphetamine extended release, 10mg/day. The difference was amazing! No side effects at all and his grades went from C's to A's in two months time. He is calmer, more interested in learning, and his overall attitude has vastly improved. His teachers noticed the difference immediately. I wish I had known about this medication when his sister was dealing with severe ADHD. I highly recommend this treatment, in contest with real life changes, such as making sure kids with ADHD have enough stimulation (tablet, laptop, sports, etc.) and always remember ADHD kids need very short term punishments instead of normal ones."


"My Doctor gave me 2 weeks of Abilify, 2mg as a sample to take in addition to my 450mg of Wellbutrin. Made me extremely dizzy and had difficulty driving safely due to this. "


"I have insomnia worst than most people. I'm 21, I compete in body building and and I'm in great shape.  I never get tired. If I get 3 hours of sleep a night I can still function fine the next day. But it shot me into horrible anxiety and depression from lack of sleep. I've tried all the sleeping medicines. There's no doubt Ambien will knock you out but I always wake up 4 hours later. I just started taking Lunesta because I was so desperate to get sleep.  Lunesta the first night helped me sleep 8 hours. The second night, "last night" it took about an hour to come into affect but I definitely slept 9 hours. No bad taste. I feel amazing. It definitely works all night . If you need a full nights sleep, please try it."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"I am within two hours of my procedure and I don't believe I am cleaned out enough.Also when I go I get a very bad burning sensation"


"On and Off depression and severe anxiety for 40 years.  Tried many medications, most with very uncomfortable side-effects.  Changed to Celexa over 8 years ago with remarkable results and absolutely no discernible side-effects.  Doctor had changed medicine to something new about 3 years ago and my wife made me go back to Celexa after only a few months.  Under extreme stress anxiety does return, but not nearly as severe.   I am now 62 years old."


"I've been on Portia (the generic version) for about 6 months now. At the beginning everything was fine because this was a step up from my normal estrogen levels that my old birth control had. But after 6 months I've seen great increase in weight gain and I'm eating more healthy than I ever was and I exercise daily. I'm so frustrated with this birth control and almost stopped taking it all together, but I'm happy to say I'm changing back to my old one and hope this weight gain goes down. I'll never recommend Portia to anyone."


"I've been on this birth control for 4 years now and love it! No crazy side effects, and light periods."


"Very sudden and  severe backpain after bending sideways in bathroom continuing for 4 days reduced 80 % with two doses of this medicine.
Ibubrofen ,SN 15 and Advil could not bring down pain.
Good relief from pain."


"I love Mirena but I would have to say that every week I have these terrible pains in my well lets say ovaries area. I have to lay in bed for a few hours and wait for them to go way. I have only had it in for one year. I have not had it checked due to I had health insurance when I got it put in and now I don't. "


"I took Apriso for a year and it was successful in treating my ulcerative colitis. I was then switched to Asacol HD.  My prescription plan eventually decided Asacol HD was too expensive and I was put back on Apriso.  This second course on Apriso was not successful.  It did nothing to alleviate my Ulcerative Colitis symptoms, and produced a number of unpleasant side affects - the worst of which was moderate-to-severe stomach cramps around the clock - even waking me from sound sleep.  Coupled with an incredibly dry mouth that invited multiple canker sores to erupt in my mouth, these symptoms made eating anything very unpleasant;   I lost 15 lbs in the three weeks I was on the Apriso.  As soon as I stopped taking it, the cramping and canker sores disappeared."


"Xulane patch worked well for me, cleared up my acne very quickly, but fell off very easily. Also seemed to increase my appetite, so it's important to exercise when you're on the patch. I started using the patch because I felt it would be easier then taking a pill everyday, but patch can be a slight nuisance. The best to put it would probably be on your butt. Overall I thought it was great if it could just stick on properly."


"I have taken Zyrtec since it came out years ago. It is the only thing that works for me. And believe me over the last 45 years I have tried everything!  I have year round allergies and dog allergies. Once in a while (when the pollen count hits the roof as it does in Missouri) I have to also take an over the counter medication with it."


"Received the Mirena as a 22yo np/ng to treat life-threatening hypovolemia and chronic anemia caused by endometriosis. This medicine may also slow down the growth of adhesions. Insertion was incredibly painful despite taking Vicodin beforehand. For about 3 months after, I experienced intense cramping and sporadic spotting. These symptoms went away and stayed gone with a few days of muscle relaxers.

 The Mirena worked beautifully for its intended purpose, and I have not had a period in over 4 years. However, I have gained 75 lbs in the past 5 years. I also have increased body hair growth, thinning hair on my head, lots of acne, and a massive reduction in my sex drive. I'm not sure yet if I'll get another Mirena put in."


"I have been taking Xanax for about one month now, and my life has drastically changed.  I get really bad hot flashes and when I started taking this I noticed immediate results.  One huge tip I have is to eat really healthy, and also on days where you have time take xanax and go workout hard.  Run on the treadmill, lift weights, or swim.  With all these things incorporated into my life I am much happier, have my social life back and I am able to show my natural talents without the fear of doom."


"I suffer with depression and PTSD. My Psychiatrist didn't want to prescribe Zopiclone as he said it's addictive but told me to try Promethazaine as said it's not addictive and I can take it every night. I found it to be very effective. I do feel quite tired in the morning but that's a small price to pay for continuous sleep. It hasn't stopped the nightmares but I'm getting to sleep quicker and staying asleep longer - definitely worth trying!"


"If I could give this medicine a 0 rating I would. Back when I first was suffering from a lot of anxiety, we had tried this before I tried xanax, which helped a TON more (long off the xanax, on a longer lasting medication now). ANYWAYS, I tried this, took a pill before my 530am shift, went into work, and turned into a zombie. lost ALL feeling of emotions, was rude to the customers, literally turned into another person. called the doctor in 2 weeks and said get me in NOW. After 4 days i threw out the bottle, saw the doctor and tried the xanax instead. Celexa made my anxiety 2000000x worse. I'm someone with constant anxiety issues, but antidepressants like SSRI's and SNRI's make my brain freak out. I'd throw these out & let the trash enjoy it"


"Harvoni Rules !!!!!  I was cured in 4 weeks of treatment !!!!!"


"Ive been taking it for over 5 years and it works for the most part."


"Vagifem greatly helps me with my atrophic vagnitis.  I was having extreme burning and pain.  I only wish I did not have to take this the rest of my life like my doctor advised me.  The mediciation sometimes gives me a slight headache."


"From the second dose of the medicine, I started having terrible heartburn, stomach burning and nausea. The side effects out-weighed any benefits for me."


"I use psyllium husk every day to keep me regular. But once in awhile I need a little extra boost. I take a half a pill before bed (really difficult to cut in half even with a pill cutter) and after my 2nd cup of coffee...TOUCHDOWN. No cramps...works great"


"In the beginning I did get headaches they lasted maybe about 3 wks. I have been on Qsymia for almost 6 wks. I lost 13 lbs the first 3.5 wks. I haven't lost a lb since. I don't understand, I have actually gained 2 of those back. it did not curb my appetite at all. I would say it did give me a little more energy. I did not get constipated as I hear you get however it does make soda taste horrible. I don't know how I am feeling about this. I have been walking and exercising and changed the way I eat so I just thought I would have seen more of a result especially for the money. I am going to try one more month and see what happens."


"I was a body builder and personal trainer active in my career until I got a kidney removed due to a tumor and was diagnosed with hypothyroid at 65. My GP did not wanted to give Ambien, instead he prescribed some other medication for psychotic people and I stopped it. Another doctor gave the Ambien, which I have been taking, 5mg. However, lately is giving me headaches, I wake up a few times at night and can't go back to sleep. Feel tired and disconnected. I need to stop and I am afraid of the process."


"Doctor said my eyes were dry and scratched.  Said to use Systane.  Now my eyes are dry, scratched, puffy, and red.  Eyes worse now then before Systane.  Will never, ever use this product again.  Into the garbage go these overpriced  eye drops.  They said other drops were all marketing - guess what, my eyes didn't get puffy and red. "


"This medication is better than any of the other SSRI I've tried so far. It has given me very few side effects that slowly diminished. Paxil is better, it does give you a calming effect that helps me relax, and I don't feel empty. "


"Ok, so while I have only begun this last night.. I can say I did fall asleep, which doesn't happen until after midnight, and I only woke up once to pee. I slept for almost 10 hours compared to my restless 4 if that. My only complaint so far is this entire day I have wanted to do NOTHING. I am so tired, I don't want to do anything besides sleep and I don't like this feeling. And I can say I've been hungier today than usual, so I'm paying attention to what I'm eating so I don't overeat.. After a while I'll update my review."


"I started this Medication 18 day's ago and I have lost 15lbs.
You can not eat what you want you have to eat right and get off the couch and not seat in front of the TV I am very happy with the Medication.
The Cost is very high I think they could make it cheaper if they wanted to but I am going to buy it and they know people will that's why they don't worry about the price and My Dr makes me go and see her once a month while I am taking this medication so I have to pay her also I have Ins but my Ins does not cover Wt losses. Medication or for the Dr Appt."


"I've been on depo for almost 4 years and I got off and had my son and went back on and this time around it is worse than before. I have lost so much weight I am always angry sad even depressed my hair is falling out and I've been spotting non stop and my sex drive is gone. smh I feel so bad because I don't want to have sex when I am always spotting. I will never ever get back on depo. 'm due for it in june but I'm not going to - I want my body and health back"


"It is a good medicine. It brought my blood pressure down to where it should be.  However, I did experience weight gain.  This is evidence by the change of my medication to a different blood pressure medicine and losing 10 pounds in less than 3 weeks.  I have not changed my diet in anyway since switching."


"I woke up.from the absolute craziest dream I've ever had...FREAKING OUT...COULD NOT BREATH, AND THOUGHT I WAS DIEING...I immediately called ppl in my family that have been on antidepressants, and they said just give it time, the side effects will go away...so I continued to take it...today is day 14, I am more nervous and depressed still...I have NO emotion, my head hurts constantly, STILL have no balance...I think my doctor WRONGLY prescribed me something I DIDN'T need, that COMPLETELY ruins with you (when you don't really need it ) I'm severely annoyed...stopping my med tomorrow and flushing the rest of my pills...I'm sooo disgusted"


"It does its job (I did not get pregnant while on the patch), but I'm having the same issue as many - IT WON'T STICK. Not only is this a huge waste of money, but it messes up my cycles and has me on and off hormones which is a TERRIBLE way to prevent pregnancy. It is a huge pain to get a back-up patch which they don't often even give me. When my prescription expires, I will not use this again."


"I am 22 and I've had this implant for maybe 3 months, and it's horrid. The first month I had heavy dizzy spells, I couldn't walk without holding onto the wall and felt nauseous. I bled maybe about a week after and countinuously been bleeding heavily. It stopped 3 times for about 2 days and started up again immediately after. My sex drive is completely gone, I'm bloated all the time and am a bit lazier than usual. Will get it removed next month."


"I have been on various birth controls for the past 15 years and this was my worst experience. I was off bc for 3 years due to trying to conceive, pregnancy, and then nursing. I wanted to start on the pill again after my daughter weaned.

I have only taken it for one month and I can't remember any other pill having such extreme side effects. I immediately got a yeast infection, broke out worse than when I was a teenager, have been exhausted but unable to sleep at night, no sex drive, and extreme mood swings. It has been a horrible experience."


"My son had a severe skin infection so my doctor gave him this medicine. He took it immediately on a empty stomach. He had just got home from Doctor's office. It made him sick so he threw up. I called the Doctor's office and told them what happeened and they told me to not give it to him anymore. It wasn't worth the side effect for my son."


"I am on my second month of Contrave and I am down 18lbs. I follow a lower carb diet and exercise about 2-3 times a week. First medicine that has helped me lose. I normally lose and gain back due to hormone issues, but this actually works! I would recommend to anyone."


"I took accutane for 5 months. My acne cleared but I still have discoloration. The side effects were horrible. The back pain for the first two months was almost unbearable. The mood swings, headaches, and dry skin were terrible too.  It was effective, but I never want to have to go through that for 5 months again."


"The doctors have no idea what is wrong with me and we had been through nearly every strong pain killer that is possible to take when you are pregnant. I am on 80mg Oxycontin a day and find that I get short term pain relief of probably 3 hours of every 12 hours. So I guess it's back to the drawing board for me, because my mum is getting sick of pushing me around in a wheel chair. Oh yeah, I also started having funny things happen to me at night. Like talking to myself even though I was awake. And I would wake up and I would be laying in bed pretending to brush my teeth or brush my daughters hair, or spreading a piece of toast. Very strange."


"I had been on Lutera several years and never had trouble with it. My pharmacy switched my medication to Orsythia. I have only been on it 2 weeks and  I am unbelievably bloated, my clothes hardly fit, I have gained weight, (probably due to the bloating), my skin has broken out.   My husband thought I was going through puberty again!  I hate to see what the third week is going to bring. I had an appointment with my doctor and told her about my symptoms and told her about the pharmacy switching my medicine. She wrote another prescription for Lutera and told them not to substitute.  I want my Lutera back!"


"My experience with Relpax mirrors those reported by many other users on this site: its a miracle. I've suffered from migraines since childhood through my adulthood and have been prescribed a number of medicines with no success. Relpax was most effective for me when taken upon onset, however a standard dose will vanquish a migraine within 45 minutes. I can't tell you how this medicine increased my quality of life and how relieved I felt to finally locate something that worked after 20 years of suffering.

Again, this medication is expensive even with co-insurance. But for me it was worth having my life back."


"My experience with taltz has been wonderful as far as the improvement but the cost of $12,500 is really outrageous. I was started by my dermatologist on samples and then hit with the price. I feel that this is discrimination and price gouging. If I was in a lower income bracket I would only have to pay $25.00 so apparently the cost to me and others is supplementing other people. I get regular phone calls from a nice little girl from Lilly Cares and I told her it's more like Lilly doesn't give a damn. I am now consulting an attorney and looking for other medications"


"I just had my wisdom teeth removed, and I haven't really had any pain. The medicines do make me feel a bit dizzy and tired, but it's really not too bad."


"Works very well. No noticable side effects."


"Amazing. Helps me fall asleep. I don't have a problem staying asleep,  just getting in the mode to fall asleep.  This medication is amazing. I do not feel loaded at all,  I dont wake up groggy,  I just lay my head on the pillow and Sonata does the rest."


"We had sex with a condom while possibly ovulating and the condom broke and neither of us noticed. I pulled out right before cumming but we were afraid some got in and immediately went to get Plan B. She took the pill about a half hour after sex. Cramps about a week before her period was due and she got her period a couple days early. We were afraid it was implantation cramps and bleeding because of when the cramps started and the color and how light her period was when it started. The next day she woke up with a lot more blood and continued to bleed throughout the day."


"I can't live without Orudis 200mg once daily.  Within 1 hour starts working and stops inflammation.

I have been on it around 25 years and no serious side effects  !

Had an asthma attack when they gave me the generic oruvail as generics only have half the main ingredient and some awful fillers. Available on our pbs in Australia"


"As well adapt to the blind-sided panics, this medicine does thoroughly well and makes brief adjustments to trigger an alarm to buzz and slows them down in a hurry."


"I have experienced fluid in my ears for almost two years.  Consulted with two ear and nose specialists and with an allergist.  Tried three types of nose sprays and other natural options, like additional vitamin C , pollen defense and the  neti pot.  Nothing worked until just recently I developed a severe cold and took Mucinex D.  To my amazement and happiness the fluid drained from my ears.  Clear ears!  Problem - one cannot take Mucinex on a permanent basis."


"I have been on Lexapro for three and a half years- it has completely changed my life, my moods, my behavior and my reactions to life for the better. I noticed an improvement within. 24 hours after starting Lexapro."


"This is my first colonoscopy and wasnt sure what to expect. The Suprep was not as bad as the gallon jugs my dad described, tastes like Pedialyte. Just chugged it down followed by the two glasses of water in less than 2 min. Just go back to your college days and pound it down like  some trash can punch and get it over with!

It took maybe 30 min and I felt like the demonstration of what fuel injector cleaner does. No bubble guts or anything so far but this is just the first round. Nice time to catch up on my book."


"I was prescribed Vistaril 25mg to help relieve tension and was told to take 2 pills so 50mg if I 1 25mg pill didn't work. 50mg didn't really help either. I felt no improvement in how I felt aftetlr taking it. I was told after 30 minutes of taking it I should've felt better but it never happened. After 2 to 3 hours after taking it I felt somewhat relaxed but was more tired than  relax. Vistaril really didn't work out for me."


"I have been taking fluoxetine for 3 months. I'd been suffering from stress and anxiety which caused depression. It took 2-3 weeks until I noticed the benefit, luckily I didn't have any side effects (other than weight loss, bonus!). Now I feel like I always did before life started wearing me down, friends and family have noticed. I'm happy and it feels natural I thought that taking tablets would make me appear like and feel like I was on medication. Far from it I feel like myself.
I have since found out that my cousin and my mum had both been prescribed it in the past and both had discontinued after a week as they suffered from night tremors. I would not have taken it if I had known this. However I am so glad I have."


"I have been taking it for about a month. It's terrible. Causes terrible breakouts and super nauseous. (Threw up a couple times). It's absolutely the worst. I'm asking my doctor to change it ASAP!"


"I've only been using Duac for 5 days but my skin is already so much clearer. I'm experiencing the dryness and peeling, but I can count the amount of new spots I've had since using it on one hand. Usually when I get up in the morning I can expect to see at least 3 new spots on various parts of my face, so it's a huge improvement for me. I was put on it because I obsessively pick at my skin (which is linked with my anxiety) and so, the more blemishes I have, the more I damage my face. So far, Duac is really helping me to leave my face alone and I hope it will continue this way. If anyone has a similar problem I would recommend at least giving it a try."


"This is the only antibiotic I will request for both of my children when they have ear infections. It is a one dose a day medicine that begins working very quickly and clears the infection. Diarrhea is a side effect, but can be controlled with diet and limiting dairy."


"30 with great testosterone levels but recently been having issues in the bedroom with new girlfriend. Talked to doctor because I just couldn't understand it. Had some anxiety after a stomach illness and just thought it may have trickled into my mind and how I have sex. In any event the doctor gave me Cialis, took 10mg last night. I literally can't stop getting erections. Now I'm walking around trying to walk off an erection. This stuff works! I've been flying at half staff a lot too. No side effects either, I took one 5mg pill and about 30 mins later took another 5mg pill. I'd say it's worth the shot for anyone needing to boost confidence down there."


"I suffer from anxiety, depression and panic attacks. 9/10 because its working for me but it's only the second anti-depressant I've used. I was prescribed Cymbalta but had terribble nausea, body tremors, hot flashes and panic attacks.  With Pristiq I had nausea for three days but it was bearable and I was really restless. I had so much energy I walked around the block 3 times a day or more in the first week. It did stir up my depression and I had suicidal thoughts which is quite controversial because I never want to die and know in myself I would never do that to my girlfriend and my family I had insomnia the on the second night after starting my Pristiq but have had no insomnia ever since. All my side effects were gone after a week and then I was given a prescription for it. Life changing stuff."


"I love Lyrica, it works well."


"These postings are amazing for me. I was diagnosed with depression at 17 (59 now) and over the years have taken everything fro Prozac to Paxil to Welbutrin, and many others. Four years ago I was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis, and just a few months ago I was prescribed Tramadol for pain, while it did help somewhat with pain I suddenly noticed my depression was lifting for the first time in over 30 years. The difference is amazing and life changing. In addition I can go several days to a week with out it and I feel no withdrawal symptoms. I used to cry all the time, constant thoughts of suicide and I'd stay in bed for days at a time. Now I exercise daily, ride my bike frequently (which also helps with the depression)"


"Hi all.... This is a follow-up from a previous post. I'm now starting my third week of Saxenda. I'm now taking 1.8mg/day. My starting weight was 194lbs and I'm now at 189. Not so fantastic, but not awful either. I am nauseated most of the day, which gets worse around 6pm, then fades. Overall, I feel that the best part of this med is that I don't care about food. At all! I'm a donut lover, and when my family brought over a dozen fresh donuts, I had one bite and felt sick. I didn't even want it. That is amazing. I'm not obsessed with food anymore. Most days I have to force myself to eat. While I'd like to see a bigger jump on the scale, I'm happy with the decreased appetite and feeling lighter in general. Let's hope it keeps working! :)"


"I have had panic disorder since I was 15 years old. Paxil has truly improved my life. 20mg doesn't seem to be enough but 40mg does the trick. The only side effects I have is that I sweat more and I have less energy. Paxil is a life saver!"


"I was diagnosed with sciatic pain that affected my back and right thigh. I used the gel liberally as the pain increased. Eight days ago I stopped as my right thigh was experiencing a burning sensation in the area where I had applied the gel. I still have the burning sensation.I am on various drugs for hypettension."


"Immediate results in lowering my blood pressure and holding steady after 2 weeks. Having feeling of light-headedness but doesn't last very long. Seems to be a great drug...so far so good."


"Female, age 55. Chronic dysthymia with episodes of major depression. Have been on Viibryd for about 4 weeks, ramping up from 10 to 40 mg, as I ramped off Zoloft. I also take Wellbutrin, Ativan, and Ritalin (for fatigue).  I have been a Type I diabetic for over 35 years.

I had side effects when I began taking Viibryd.  Nausea (no vomiting), more frequent stools, fatigue and severe cognitive fuzz-out and difficulty with short-term memory.

Anyone else have chills with this med?  About 30 minutes after dosing, I typically get very shivery.  The affect does not last long and is not severe, but it is very weird!

Dr. told me to try taking 1/2 dose of Viibryd at bedtime or with evening meal, but this did not work because it made me wide awake."


"When I was 33 I weighed 185 lbs. I am only 5'3 so I was extremely over weight. I had never had a weight problem before. My average weight was 125 to 130. After four months of staying home and not going out any, I put on the weight fast!!I started the bontril and changed everything. Didnt eat after 6, stopped drinking soda, nothing fried, no fast food, smaller plates for smaller portions and lots of water. In 3 months I got down to 122. I loved it! I tried it a second time in 2012 with no results. It was a stressful time for me. I am now doing it again and have lost 12 lbs in 2 weeks. Its a great product for weight loss! The only side affect I ever experienced was mild constipation when I didnt drink enough water!!"


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"This was much easier than expected. First I went on low fiber diet two days before taking it. One day (from mednight ) before procedure I went on clear liquid diet with no solid food. Then took GL at about 6 PM. No reaction until seventh 8 ounce glass of GL. Then it did the job it's designed to do. No pains or cramps. The solution was cold and I got each glass down as fast as comfortably possible. Taste? I didn't notice anything bad about it and did not add any flavoring. It's like drinking a lot of water. Maybe they should have a beer flavor to make it go down even easier."


"My doctor suggested switching to Embeda from Oxycontin -he said there was no reason to tempt my teenagers. He warned me it might take a few weeks to find just the right dose, he was right, after a couple dose adjustments I feel great and now I only have take my pain medicine twice a day."


"I was on Acutane for acne. However, it caused my IBS. I was in severe pain. I tried diet changes and that seemed to help. My doctor gave me this wonderful pill! If i take it every night, I have almost no pain. I would recommend this to anyone! The only side effect that I have is a dry mouth, but I can handle that any day!"


"I take this along with Baclofen to try and calm the tone and muscle spasms. Since adding the Xanaflex my muscle spasms don't last as long.  However they do still occur quite frequently."


"Works good, nothing negative to say."


"Switched because my old pill was crazy expensive. This pill personally just does not agree with me! No weight gain but sore breasts constantly, lack of periods, nausea, shortness of breath. Been on it since December (now it's May) and I've had about enough. My sister was on this pill also and she said she also would go months without a period (which is just get on your nerves)."


"This is the only thing that will work for me when Im having severe cold and sinus symptoms and I've tried everything."


"For pain and swelling of my joints it worked the best, but my blood pressure went up and heart disease runs in my family.  I wish I could have continued taking it."


"Worst Birth Control I've ever taken going on my second week. I have stayed very nauseated and done nothing but cry. Do Not Recommend!"


"Lost 40% of Achilles' tendon!  All my tendons in hands, feet shoulders, neck ---actually, all o we my body are sore all the time!  Can't work out anymore, have a hard time doing housework, landscaping, sleeping,

Can't open bottles. Put my bra on because of the soreness in my shoulder muscles etc.

I hate this feeling all the time!  I am not myself anymore. Used to be the poster child of health for a 69 year old"


"I have managed TMJ for all of my adult life, but the last 2 years have been the worst.  For nearly 18 months I was maxed out on naproxen to manage pain and still taking acetaminophen in between - and all that did was take the edge off the pain.  I was still severely limited in what I could eat.  Steroid injections did nothing.  I was then prescribed 10mg of baclofen.  That did nothing.  But 20mg was a whole different story.  It has now been 2 months, and I have stopped taking all pain medication completely!  I can enjoy a range of foods again and no longer suffer from chronic pain.  I am still awaiting a consult for surgery, but in the meantime baclofen has been a real game changer!!!"


"I have a different experience than these reviews I am reading here.  I do not think this is the best drug ever and really have a hard time believing the 9 and 10 ratings.  But also this drug is not a total dud and does not deserve so many low scores.  To me this is the second best drug I have tried for insomnia.

After many years of struggling including lost work days, Ambien was a miracle to me and since going on it 8 years ago. I only needed about 5mg each night to be out and have 0 side effects from the stuff.  But I want a safer alternative at least for some of the time.  Belsomra seems to be fitting that need.  While it is not even close to being as effective or side effect free as Ambien, it is much better than Sonata or Rozerem.  I do need a higher 20mg dose for the stuff.  It usually kicks in after about 45 minutes and consistently puts me to sleep at that dosage. I have been learning to manage a slight headache / dehydration effect from it by keeping a water bottle by my bed.  I am slightly drowsy for a couple hours in the AM (although it wears off completely and am fine by about 9am)."


"I started having panic attacks about 13 years ago. The Dr. gave me a few different drugs to try - all either had horrible side effects including nightmares - or did nothing. Then we tried Xanax - it was a miracle for me! one .5mg Xanax and I can function again. When I was promoted at work to a position where I would have to speak in front of a crowd I was terrified, but taking one of these has changed my life!!"


"I had mirena inserted on 24/2/17 for abnormal uterine bleeding which started 24/1/17. Also prescribed 10mg provera 3 times a day.  Well been bleeding ever since and sick of it. Bright red blood 2-3 pads a day.  Pelvic pain, acne, feel fat, no energy, tired. See GYN on 4/4/17 and have to get blood tests beforehand. Have no iron so been on iron tablets since January. Think I want this out, don't know if I can handle another 5 months of bleeding."


"I've been taking Biotin off and on for a few years and have noticed that certain brands seem to cause more headaches ...and for someone who never really gets headaches the ones I got after taking it were just unbearable... stopped taking it and no more headaches so my suggestion is to stick with a well respected brand and if you can, just buy a small bottle first to see if you have a reaction... on the plus side I did see an improvement in my skin.. oh, and maybe it's just me but I also noticed if I took it at night I had the most bizarre dreams "


"it is very effective!"


"GREAT ADHD medication. ask for financial help. they give 12 month card that takes half off the cost of Vyvanse... take as directed."


"I was prescribed a five day round with the Z-pak after developing a severe flu-like upper respiratory infection with stuffed and painful sinuses plus aches, sore throat, diarrhea, muscle pain, nausea, and more. I had a Rituxan infusion, and all of this started the next day (common side effects or adverse events). I have rheumatoid arthritis, and my immunosystem is screwed to begin with and the Rituxan infusions temporarily make it worse. So I picked up a bug; bam!

Long story, short ending. The Z-pak began working almost immediately, and two hours after my second pill of 250 mg (first was 500) I don't feel sick. My sinuses are still a bit clogged but that's livable. I'm impressed."


"MS-Contin 60mg daily since 1998 w/breakthru pain combo w/MSC-IR 30mg 3x day. Some dizzy + naseau @times w/MSContin. Began Hysingla ER 60mg daily 3 mo ago w/excellent results.  No lumbar pain.  80% CSPINE pain reduction + NO side effects period. Does work around clock. Chronic discogenic pain in lumbar since 1989 post 3 level lumbar lami. PCDF C2-C5 + ACDF C5-C6 w/80% pain relief. Miracle Rx for me! NO addic. issues.  Feel NO high w/sustained release meds. Just wish price will go down soon! Highly recommend for those w/mod- sev lumbar pain that tolerate opiates well. Also, like MSC, NO liver panels."


"Really helps my PMDD and my stress/anxiety. I was very thin from stress before I started on Paxil. I have rapidly gained weight since taking this medication. I have also become emotionless. As much as I dislike it, at least I don't feel anger, stress and anxiety anymore. Clearly I'm taking the good with the bad."


"FINALLY, after years of dealing with bad back acne and the embarrassment caused by it, I'm CURED. I've been on minocycline for a month now and my back is absolutely beautiful. I've experienced none of the side effects unless you count losing the fifteen pounds I was trying to lose anyway. Whatever it costs, it's worth it!"


"I've been using this birth control for almost a year now. It's my very first pill & I haven't had any problems with weight gain, mood, or even spotting in between periods. However, it is important to take it daily around the same time. At the same time is better, if possible. I use this as my main method of birth control."


"I had hyperhidrosis since like forever and it was really bad. I remember when I was in elementary school when my friends played hand games and I couldn't because I know that my palms would sweat and they'll be disgusted by it and when I was going through puberty my under arms started to sweat and it was really embrassing I wore layers of clothes to hide the sweat but that'll just make it worse and also shaking hands was a problem BUT Hypercare helps a lot. My life became so much more happier and I'm glad that my doctor prescribed me Hypercare and I recommend it to anyone who suffers from hyperhidrosis."


"This is pill is pure garbage!  Years ago I was taking Ortho-tricyclin and had no bad side effects.  I decided to give the generic a try in spite of the negative reviews just because someone convinced me that everyone reacts different and since I used the original in the past I shouldn’t have any problems with the generic. So wrong! I had non stop bleeding/spotting, nausea everyday, feeling super depressed, crying for no reason, and to top it off it was also hurting my stomach. I decided to finish the pack anyways with hopes that these symptoms would go away. Well, they didn’t I am now experiencing heavy abnormal bleeding with blood clots. I am switching to Ogestrel starting on Sunday. Ladies please don't take this rubbish pill!"


"No different than regular Tylenol which does nothing for me."


"I have taken laxatives before and have had mild cramping, these cramps are unbelievable. It did produce a bm, diarrhea with blood, and still cramping and pooping the next day. Took 2 pills at night before bed and severe cramps woke me up 4-5 hours later. Not for me, I will never do that again."


"OK had to write a review after seeing so many horror stories. My side effects were minimal, about an hour and a half after taking the 4 tablets at once as prescribed, my stomach hurt and I felt only a little sick. I laid in bed and just rode it out by napping. When I woke up I had one minor episode of diarrhea and then, done. It was definitely nothing like some of the bad experiences I've read on here. Many folks review because they had a bad experience and folks who have no side effects tend to not care enough to report their non-eventful experience. Keep that in mind if you're nervous! Definitely worth the 30 minutes of a little stomach ache to make yourself healthy. Just eat beforehand and after, you will be solid. It was no big deal."


"26 yrs DX of  IBS-D, Collagenous Colitis, Chrohn's,  total colectomy w/Jpouch.  I have tried every Rx known & nothing could stop the 20  BM's, incontinence, nausea, GI cramping, and  rectal spasms (from surgery) I found Viberzi read pt reviews, Allergan Pharm documentation  I was on 100mg x2 daily. Similar symptoms the first few days by the 3rd day, major decrease in stool frequency and gut motility. Then towards my 29th day  it abruptly quit working, I became severely ill nausea, vomiting,headache. GI had me stop taking Viberzi  vomiting & D in bed a week. GI did blood work and Lipase levels at 124, next week Creatine 1.2 Lipase 200, still very ill & no answers my headache off of it for 26 days. FDA fast-tracked this be careful!"


"With a combination of Cipro and some Mucinex my sinus problems were gone in 24 hours. I'm finishing the medicine and feeling great."


"Been on this for about a week. So far the pros are: I am much calmer. I have a very stressful job that used to have me yelling and wanting to pull my hair out. Now I'm calmly discussing issues with a reasonable mind. Also I noticed I have more energy and much more positive outlook on life. I've even lost a few pounds because my appetite is somewhat suppressed. The cons are: very vivid dreams. Just about every night I have a very lucid and lengthy dream about something in my life. Another con is the first few days I felt a little "out of it" as others have said, but that stopped after about 3-4 days. The last con is that it's expensive. I have two insurances and still had a copayment. But I like it so much, it's worth the price."


"I went to urgent care on second day of constantly vomiting and body aches with stuffy nose. And I ended up having flu and a stomach virus. So I was given nausea meds and tamiflu. So it did not make me sick like most people thanks to Zofran. But two days after starting I feel almost 100% unfortunetly it keeps me up ALL night. But no sleep is better than the flu..."


"I have metal rods on my spine, my lower back gets a burning. I take naproxen it takes it out in about 1 hour."


"It feels slightly more effective than Prozac. I was slightly nauseous for about 24 hours after my first dose. In my opinion, the only downside to Trintellix is the price."


"I was on citalopram for eight months for depression and anxiety. Side-effects such as high fever and cough lasted for few weeks. After that I started to gain weight slowly and I had some swelling all over the body, especially on my inner thighs. I got bruises more easily than before just by pinching. It made me very tired so I had to take it in the evening.

I couldn't feel the anxiety and panic but I knew they were in the background but I couldn't react to those feelings the way that I normally would. I couldn't feel any pain,
I'd not get tired in exercise even though physically my body was exhausted but I just couldn't feel it. It's just a mental painkiller."


"I've now been using Seasonique for a year and I've been completely happy and unbelievably satisfied with this product. I have endometriosis so when my period came before I was on birth control it was dreadfully painful for the three to five days while I was on my period. I tried Yaz and it only made my periods regular, then I tried NuvaRing and that actually made my cramps worse and lasted for an entire week. After that I did tons of research and decided to try Seasonique. And for the past year I have only had maybe 2 hours worth of cramps the entire time. During the second refill I only blotted a little, but overall every symptom that follows endometriosis has disappeared! I highly recommend Seasonique. It's fantastic!"


"Easy to take.   A little leg pain (not sure if it's related to meds)...besides that absolutely no side effects. I take with a good meal."


"Started Victoza 10 days ago. Lost 8 lbs. in the first 9 days! Also on Metformin 500mg ER 3X a day. Blood sugars are great! Running between 80-130 at different points throughout the day. Fasting blood sugars running around 70, when they were at 400 before treatment with Victoza. Nausea in the first few days on the 0.6 dose of the Victoza. Nausea has subsided with no other side effects besides loss of appetite, which is great!"


"My doctor had a compounding pharmacy make the equivalent for me.  Only cost $22.  I hear some of the people paying $500 for the prescription type?

Anyway, before taking the medicine, I bled everyday.  No pain but lots of blood for several years.  After about 3 days the bleeding has stopped.  As my doctor suggested, I continue to take the medicine for at least one month.

Bottom line is that it let the fissure heal.  Whether it will begin bleeding again after the medicine is stopped is another question.  I hope not."


"I'm a 36 year old male. I've been dealing with major anxiety and panic attacks for about 6 years. Been on benzos for as long as I can remember.
I do tend to drink a couple of times a week and while taking benzodiazepines I would black out all the time. It almost ruined my life. Until one day about 4 months ago my doctor introduced me to Viibryd. It has changed my life.
I've tried it all, Lexapro, Zoloft, Prozac, Wellbutrin, Zyprexa, and many others. Had many sexual side effects among others.
The first week with Viibryd I had nausea. It's a good idea to eat before taking Viibryd. I now have very little if any panic attacks. They are easy to deal with and control now. I even drink on Viibryd. Though I'm sure it's not recommended."


"I've been suffering from urinary tract infections for most of my adult life. The first Dr that prescribed Cipro for me was a "Saint"! Nothing else works for me like it. I take 500mg twice a day for a week to 10 days. I insist on this medication. I've never had any issues with any side effects... Only amazing relief! I'm now in my late 60's and I still take this when I have a UTI."


"Great! Received IV drip and felt better in less than 6 hours after IV! Miracle!"


"This product should be pulled off the shelves.  The 1st day I took it, I just had moderate internal pain. The 2nd-3rd day my inner and out labia were on fire and I had to use an ice bag on my lady parts to ease the pain.The 4th day it  still hurts and my YI is back and 10 x worse. I've been so uncomfortable all week. My Dr just call in diflucan for me...I wish I would have just done that in the first place. I would not recommend this product to my worse enemy. The product is a waste of money."


"Basically the only medication that works for me to combat the infections that arise from Darier's disease (a genetic skin disease)."


"I started taking Tramadol for undiagnosed knee pain about ten years ago.  It was a miracle.  I was actually able to walk for most of the day without pain.  I finally had knee surgery, so I only had to take it a couple times a week.  Then, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 5 years ago and had brain surgery, which I have had many bad effects from.  The tramadol and also Percocet get me through my days.  I want to kiss whoever created the tramadol."


"27 year old female suffering from plaque psoriasis off and on my whole life. These past 4 years has been one steady flare up with an increase in severity. I was on Methotrexate for 1 1/2 years while using various topicals.  I've been on Humira for 3 months in addition to the use of Clobex spray and Vectical ointment. It seems as if my nails and scalp have gotten worse and the patches on my calves and arms are not changing.  I hope I just have to give Humira a bit more time!"


"I used to take Lowestrin 24 Fe 8 years ago. I have been taking Minstarin for 3 months now and Doc switched me to Nuvaring.

Pros: No period. No babies.

Cons: Severe Depression, Mood Swings, Paranoia, 25lb gain, Sleep insomnia

I went to the therapist to figure out what was wrong with me and I saw a specialist and they have narrowed it to the Birth Control.

Minastrin may not be right for everyone."


"After three days use I started having large red bumps on the back of my hair line and on my neck. Also chest pain the three nights. I stopped using it then, hopefully it
will be corrected in a few days. "


"Hate the way the pills are packaged. This has helped me a lot but not completely. Still have bladder issues and muscle spasms and some tingling and burning. I did have elevated liver enzymes for the first 6 months but they were tested yesterday and now back to normal. I've had this relapse now since February but really it's much better than it was."


"It been 4 days my father is taking it and we see no improvement although the doctor said it will take 2 weeks for it show some results but so far there are  no results lets see what happens.

dizziness and  dry mouth are  caused by this drug."

"I started taking this about 2 months ago.  It caused me to have severe migraines.  My doctor took me off of it today!"


"I was prescribed 3mg a day but don't want to take that much so I am trying hard to tapper to 2mg I am at 2.25mg. I still sometimes feel a little bit of anxiety not real bad but catch myself starting to get in my head and then I will breath and talk myself out of my head but why can't the medicine just keep me out of my head all the time. I never had any anxiety or panic disorder, I have always had manageable obsessive compulsive disorder. Will I ever feel like me again? I know if I am not careful I would  become home bound and just sit and waste. I have a young daughter and it is not fair for her. The Klonopin does work but I feel like I can feel it wear off or that it is coming time for my next dose, or is that all in my crazy head."


"I've had problems with birth controls since I have started taking them.  I was started on Ortho Tri-cyclen and was extremely moody and had issues with tearing of the vaginal walls during intercourse so I was switch to Ortho-cyclen, and the problem persisted.  Finally I was switched to Sronyx which solved the problem and the moodiness.  I was on it for three years until I was switched to Lessina because my pharmacy didn't carry it.  Within the two and a half months I've been on it, I have gained about 5 pounds, have the worst acne I've ever experienced, and cry over NOTHING.  Desperately trying to find a pharmacy that carries Sronyx."


"Wow, was prescribed this for back issues that were apparently muscular in nature, but I was convinced was an actual spinal issue. The pain in my back was so bad.
At the same time, my doc's were trying in vain to find out what was causing chronic diarrhea for the past 1-2 years, with no luck.
Once I started on Skelaxin, not only has my back improved incredibly, all of a sudden, for the first time in a very long time, the diarrhea is gone as well! Love this medicine. Take it before bed, sleep great and wake up very clearheaded, and not in pain!"


"I started Qsymia on 02/8/2013.  237 lbs. No self control.  No motivation.  Insulin dependent diabetic/ cholesterol/ high blood pressure.  Felt hopeless.  Started Qsymia as last resort.  Dropped 14 pounds first month.  Slowly started feeling better getting motivation, taking control .. Started cardio, eating right. To date. 55pounds gone.  I FOUND ME again.  It is slow, but this medicine saved my life.   Side effects, dry mouth, all sweets taste horrible - which is a bonus, no appetite..  can't sleep.   nothing I can't handle."


"I started taking Gianvi about one month ago.  Prior to that, I was on Heather 2 years.  I was prescribed Heather because I was a nursing mother.  I had bad breakouts with Heather and inconsistent long periods.  After nursing, I wanted to switch to a more effective birth control.  I was prescribed Apri and went for an emotional roller coaster.  I was only on Apri for 2 weeks and my breakouts were worse than they have ever been.  After Apri, I was switched to Gianvi.  Wow What a difference.  I have been on it for just shy of 1 month and my breakouts have stopped.  I have some scarring from my previous breakouts, but they are fading.  I have noticed that my mood seems to be "normal.""


"After 8 days of taking this Med I have gained 4 pounds. Swelling in my feet and bruising. I got complete relief from pain but I am experiencing too many side effects. I won't be taking this Med any longer."


"I get muscle tightness and spasms often after workouts as a side effect of arthritis in my back & neck (which was diagnosed for me in 2011). Flexeril was prescribed for this problem. It works great, but here is my feedback. First few times I took it, it knocked me out. Had to lay down & sleep. Took awhile of taking it in smaller doses, where this effect went away. After 3 weeks of use, I started holding fluids really bad. So I no longer use it daily, only as desperately needed. Also causes constipation, so be prepared to add Fiber to your diet to help with that. When I do take it, I'm able to work out the problem areas in my neck (which bothers me the most) with sports cream rub, while on the Flexeril. I can definitely recommend!"


"Overweight Mom who thought that I would be that for life. My friend who was on Jenny Craig (it did not work) used this and after following her lead we are both big losers. No side effects except a little tired first week then energy went up gradually. I take my exercise serious now and instead of losing two pounds per week I am at 3.36 per week or more. Flat out works you got nothing to lose because they give you a two week trial free. After that you will be more then happy to pay for it."


"Better than Adderall for me. Adderall feels like a sledgehammer slamming my brain into focus and Concerta is like a master artist finessing my thoughts into focus as much as Adderall but so much more subtly. I will forget I am on Concerta (36 mg, may go up to 54mg), during the day. There is a noticeable tolerance that I have developed. 18mg used to pump me up, now I no longer feel 18. 36 is getting to that point with daily use. Only reason it doesn't get a 10. Take 6000mg of fish oil daily and increase your magnesium intake."


"I've been on this medicine for 11 months. After trying numerous birth control pills, I was finally excited to try something that had decent reviews. However, it did not work for me. I have had two periods per month the entire 11 months I have been on it. I have breakthrough bleeding that lasts anywhere from 1-4 days, in ADDITION to two periods per month."


"took 1000 mg tab Friday evening Saturday morning and evening.  Have had Diaraeh since midnigtht Friday night"


"If I could rate it  lower I would. This drug shouldn't be on the market. The damage it has done to my body is never going to be fixed."


"I was diagnosed with MS in August 2016. I am a dance instructor, and noticed that I was limping, especially after class.  I had foot drop, numbness, Charlie horses and cramping at night. I have 2 small children who keep me active as well.  MS totally changed my quality of life. I am taking Copaxone 3 times a week, but it doesn't help with the symptoms. I read about Ampyra, and because my main gripe about MS is the way I walk, I decided to ask my Neurologist if I could try it. I've been on it for a week and already notice a difference.  I'm hoping with time that it'll do more for me. I chased my son around the park this weekend and noticed a huge difference when I taught class yesterday. Very glad I tried it!"


"I'm 19 years old and I have only been on the shot for 3 months and some change now. I like the shot. I had regular periods before but they were really heavy and painful. I tried the pills once and took all of them. A couple of times I forgot to take them on time but took two the next day but the shot works better for me. The only negative thing I have to say is it does mess with my moods, like I'll get sad out of no where and start tripping and the weight gain I don't mind because I'm already a size 3, I want to gain some weight. During the first month I spotted the whole time. Not a regular period just brown spotting. But it's gone away now and like I said I've only been on it for 3 months and some change now so overall for me, I like."


"Suffered for 2.5 weeks with headaches, left top side of head and back of neck.....was prescribed Naproxin before, but even with a double dose, would not work for me. My dr. immediately knew I was suffering from tension migranes.........and prescribed Butral...I took it at 6 p.m.....no headaches by 6:20. A slight headache this A.M....but I am 90% improved! I can take it every 4 hours, but have not had a dose since this morning. It is now 2:15 P.M."


"I have been on Yaz for a couple months. I decided to switch to Yaz to gain weight and clear up my mild acne. Overall I have had a positive experience with it. In the beginning, my periods lasted only a couple days, but now, I have no period at all. Also, my face is clear, but I did not gain weight from the pill. The weight I have gained was from muscle weight from working out. I'd say the only negative were my massive headaches when I did have my period. The headaches would come on my first day of my period. But now, with no period, I have no headache!"


"I started Lutera about a month ago. I was on the Nuvaring before that. I switched to Lutera because being as active as I am, the Nuvaring somehow found it's way out. Lutera is the first birth control pill that I have taken, and my experience has been great so far. The pills are small and easy to swallow which was a huge plus! I did not have breakthrough bleeding on the pill like I did with the Nuvaring {I skip my periods purposely by starting a new pack instead of the inactive week pill/Nuvaring} so that was fantastic as well. No pregnancies here, so it's been very effective for that! I never had any nausea with the pill, but I did have some weight gain {about 6 pounds, which did not make me happy!}."


"I took the smaller dosage of .75 mg, thank god.  First two days were fine, then the third day everything went south.  Blood sugar was 219 highest I had ever taken.  Woke up with upset stomach, then diarrhea for 6-8 hours, then vomiting for 4-6 hours, then cold chills rash that turned to hives from crotch to knees arm pits to elbows, head itched, lips started getting puffy.  This was all in 24 hours.  It was horrible.  Then the next 9 days it took to get completely out of my system. Every day I would have these with less severity.  The hives is the only thing that did not reocurr.  At times I could not stand any clothes on my body was that sensitive. I found from the Dr. At emergency room the half life of the drug was 5 days. "
