"I'm taking Bactrim twice a day for ten days.  I was taking five day course of Cipro and had a migraine headache, which wouldn't go away.  Cipro didn't even help me, I still had white blood cells and blood in my urine which makes for a bad urinary tract infection. The PA gave me Bactrim. I still have a slight headache but the UTI was so bad, I can deal with these side effects.  The pressure in my bladder area has subsided and five more days to go. I can handle Bactrim."


"This medicine is a complete joke for anxiety or panic attacks. The only thing it did for me was after taking it at night I would wake up with horrible body aches like I had the flu."


"After taking most analgesics on the market for moderate to severe back pain, I started Nucynta four months ago. The results have been downright amazing.  "


"I developed eczema on my eyelids and originally treated it with a eucerin cream. While that moisturized the area well, my eyelids were still swollen and constantly itchy. My doctor later prescribed this to treat it and warned me about the burning sensation during the first 24 hours. As many people have mentioned after the first application the skin begins to feel like its burning and mine became very red, it was miserable. However, after the first day that goes away and within a week I had normal eyes again! I am so happy with this ointment, I honestly thought I would never have normal eyes again."


"The nice thing about this medication is that it cuts well where Armour is much  harder to cut (crumbles) in order to get optimal levels. Sometimes we need to add a bit extra."


"My cardiologist took me off Lipitor 2 weeks ago-my cholesterol is great after being on a low carb diet. Previously my body was covered in bruises at all times which I had attributed to other medicines(Plavix and aspirin) I Just realized I am bruise free for the first time in over a year. Conclusion: it was the Lipitor causing the problem. "


"My six-year-old son started to experience flu like symptoms chills fever bodyaches and so I took him to the ER and they prescribe Tamiflu because he tested  positive for type a influenza this was on a Friday and by Saturday afternoon he was eating again not like he normally does but more than he was on Friday which was nothing  basically but some applesauce I am thankful for the Tamiflu because I believed it helped alleviate his flu virus now if his fever is low enough he can go back to school on Monday I don't think this would have been possible without the Tamiflu"


"I've been taking this medication for over 6 months and it has been a good fit for me. At first I had a little trouble sleeping but other than this it has been easy. I am taking the SR type so I have to take it 2x per day which can be a pain. I have not had a depressive episode since starting on Wellbutrin."


"I have had chronic allergies and nothing has helped.  It would be normal for me to go through a box of kleenex in a week.  The major frustration with my allergies was my itchy feet and ear canals.  Although xyzal is very expensive (my insurance doesn't cover it) it is worth not having the itchy feet and ears that no one thought about."


"Started zolpidem for insomnia due to anxiety from a cancer diagnosis.  Prior to this time, I had no sleep problems.  I started with 10mg, two nights in a row, but it had NO effect. The next night, I tried one and a half pills (15mg), which worked GREAT, but I could barely get out of bed after 8 hours of sleep.  I figured out that I could take 10mg about an hour before bedtime and a half pill at bedtime and get 9 hours of great sleep and no problems getting out of bed in the morning.  HOWEVER, after about 1 week I discovered NOTABLE memory loss, particularly with occasionally searching for words. I once came home from work and saw a note I had apparently written to my wife that morning, but didn't remember writing. Decided to switch medicines."


"I am 54 yrs old. I have been using Testim for over 6 weeks now because my Dr. prescribed it to me. The results that I've gotten are phenomenal. My Testoserone went up 3Xs as much and my Free Test went up 2xs as much. I feel more confident; a little more aggressive; more sure of myself; more alert; a little sharper; overall I feel GREAT! And sexually I don't tire as quick as before. I rub one tube on my shoulder and upper arm in the mornings, about the same time. I switch arms everyday. The smell is pleasant. I did have a side effect i.e. my foot/ankle swelled up, so I laid off it for about 2 weeks, till the swelling went down. Now I have no more side effects, this works GREAT!"


"I began taking this pill after I finished breastfeeding and switched from Micronor. I began having cramps to the point I wanted to curl up in a ball and not move during my period, and I had 2 periods plus spotting in one month. Add that to the emotions I was experiencing (anxiety, depression, very quick temper) and I stopped taking this after 2 1/2 months. My husband noticed a big change in my moods and anxiety levels on this pill. I recommend to anyone trying this pill to pay attention to your mental health as well as physical."


"So I had BAD adverse affects to the Depo Provero shot.. SO bad that  I lost my job. I had bad fevers for 6 months.. It felt like my body was on FIRE..No energy and it triggered hypothyroidism in me. I'm only 37. I have finally got to feeling better, the shot is out of my system as of a couple weeks back, losing weight now. No period yet, but my gyno said the next thing he could do is Depo Lupron.. needless to say I'm TERRIFIED! It's only the month shot, but I'm still scared to death. I already suffer with mental illness. I just wanted a hysterectomy to get this nightmare over with, so I could get back to life and never worry about this crap again. If you have any insight, let me know Thx."


"I have been taking Tri-Sprintec for one month. My family and friends think I have gone crazy because I cant stop crying. In the middle of places I just burst out in tears its so embarrassing, because there's nothing wrong. My face is so broke out with acne from this pill. I just hate reading all the side effects and worrying all the time. I wish I could find something perfect for me."


Herpes Simplex, Mucocutaneous/Immunocompetent Host

"Excellent medicine, effective and no side effects."


"I was on 100mg of Pristiq which really wasn't working for me. I stopped taking medication and started having suicidal thoughts.

A friend recommended Cymbalta so I saw a Dr and started on 30mg. Within a month my depression was nearly non-existent. I had off days but overall it was amazing.

After the month though, I noticed I was starting to feel down and irritable towards the end of the day (I take mine at night before sleep)

I've been increased to 60 mg and I can't be happier. I have not felt this calm and happy with life in close on 7 years

There are noticeable side effects for me. I have extremely vivid dreams most nights and I can recall most of them upon waking. Also loss of appetite is a big one."


"I found this medicine to be a life saver. After my first month of treatment for CLL/SLL, I was thrown into chemo-induced anemia extremely quickly. After having a rough week with a small fever, my hemo-oncologist gave me a shot of this and one week later I thought I had been reborn! Terrific stuff and will help platelets out magnificently! Give it a shot, no pun intended. Feel Better & Take Care!"


"I was off of the medication for exactly 2 1/2 days. I was a basket-case! Everything made me feel sad and overwhelmed. The withdrawal was bad! I was VERY dizzy, had fragmented thoughts, forgetfulness, etc.

The biggest drawback of Cymbalta that I have experienced is the extreme difficulty reaching orgasm! My libido is just fine, as is everything else during sex....until the point when I should (and used to be able to) have orgasm. Very frustrating. Needless to say, if there was a drug that could help the depression as well as Cymbalta does, without the sexual side effects, I would take it!"


"Works great, no side effects."


"I have been prescribed Diflucan in the past for yeast infections and it worked wonderful. Overnight relief. I have been prescribed this generic form the last few times I've had a yeast infection and find that it does not work nearly as well for me. Currently in day 5 after taking single dose and I am still having itching and redness. "


"I'm 34 years old. First period was at 9 yrs old. By 15 my periods were pain filled and I was diagnosed with cysts on my ovaries. Birth control was prescribed. Fast forward through a pregnancy and more ovary issues, January of 2012 I had the Implanon put in. life was fantastic. Not one period until December 2014 , a couple of months before I was due to have the replacement put in. Nexplanon implanted early February and life went on!

July of 2015 was my first "double period" month. August and September were the same so I visited the doctor where I heard "irregular bleeding was normal and was put on estrogen. No periods for October. November -2 periods, now they are happening every other week!!

No explanation!!"


"I've been on this pill for almost 2 years now and have had no issues with it really other the gaining 10 lbs and bloating every now and then. It's actually improved my mood, cleared my skin, and helped with my period flow and pain. You can miss your pill by a few hours too and catch up later without worry. It's a pretty effective pill."


"If you have any history with anxiety and/or depression, stay FAR away from this pill. I have been on Orsythia for 4 months and it's been miserable. My anxiety is thru the roof, I have panic attacks weekly and throughout the month I would go into a depression where I would just be hating on myself and be completely sad for no reason at all. I also didn't get my period during any of the "period week" (placebo pills week), instead I would get a period week 2-3 of my pill pack. It also made my breasts hurt for the 2 months, and made me have little to no appetite, I lost 20 pounds while taking this. Sharing my experience so other girls don't have to go thru the same thing. I am using condoms as a contraceptive now, and it is sooo much better."


"I am going into the second week of taking birth control. I was super stoked for it not going to lie but after all these symptoms |'m having, I'm not so sure anymore. I know everyones body is different but if you are anywhere as near as sensitive as I am, I wouldn't recommend taking it. Within the first week I had woken up with extreme nausea and eventually vomited. With that occurrence I had automatically thought the pill didn't work and I was pregnant, but I did take a test and so far so good. Anyways, I am now starting to get period type symptoms of tender breasts and cramps which those are easy for me to look passed and not worry to much about. However, not too long ago I woke up and felt almost empty, sad and depressed"


"I had the Mirena inserted in April 08 to control heavy bleeding from Adenomyosis. My doctor had recommended it 2 years prior and I balked at getting it because of "horror" stories I read. Now I wish I had given it a try when she first recommended it. It has been great. I had some light spotting the first 2 months, then no period for a couple months. Had a very light period in February. It has changed my life. I have put on some additional weight, approx 8 pounds since I had it put in but I already was struggling with weight so don't know if it is from that or from middle age. Working on that now with exercise and diet. I am very happy with it. I have my life back each month instead of being afraid to leave the house because of heavy bleeding."


"Well I have been taking Campral for two weeks now I have not noted any difference I still drink the same amount of beer each day the only thing I have found is I tend to sleep longer in the morning and Find it hard to get motivated."


"I found this drug to be very effective. I had previously tried loestrin 24 Fe and Minerva and had awful side effects (mood swings, crying, etc) within the first week of taking each drug. I then took orsythia for 3 months and had no side effects! I was not at all moody, bloated, did not experience breakthrough bleeding, and did not become pregnant. Although the pill has many bad reviews, I'd recommend this birth control to people who may have had bad side effects on other birth control hormones and are looking for one that fits their needs!"


"Improved urine flow in the beginning, but over time it seems to lose effectiveness. Doing 0.4mg tablet, 1 per day.

Sideffects: just feel weak all around and have dry ejaculations."


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"I was on a ten day treatment taking three pills four times a day. I was also taking Omeprazole twice daily. It helped a lot as far as the sickness and nausea go. Dark urine and stool was about the only side effect I experienced except for dry mouth during the night. The key is to make sure you eat plenty before each dose. Do NOT eat or drink dairy while taking it. I made that mistake one time and that's all it took. Other than that I felt pretty good. I will also suggest a good brand of  probiotic to take daily as well. It was a tough ten days but I believe it's well worth it."


"I suffer from Fibromyalgia along with some sort of sleep problem. My doctor gave me a trial supply of Nuvigil to help keep me awake through the day so that I could get a full nights sleep. Even if I can keep awake all day, I still can only get 3-4 hours of sleep a night...even with sleeping pills. However, I am SO glad my doctor decided to give me Nuvigil. The pain in my legs is GONE!

I've had crippling pain in my legs since the onset of my Fibromyalgia (among other places). The more I walk, the worse it gets. To my surprise, after I took my first Nuvigil, the pain in my legs disappeared. What a wonderful surprise. Helps my ADD too.

Now I have to beg my doctor for a prescription."


"I took this for five months and lost 35 pounds. I loved it but had to stop because it wasn't covered by my insurance and I could no longer handle the $60 a month for it!!! Would definitely love to know which medication in this pill is what suppressed my appetite so I could take that alone! Would so take this again if I could afford it!"


"Valium works for me I have a panic disorder and I was taking Ativan (Lorazepam) in the US. since 2004. And my psychiatrist changed it to Diazepam) 10 mg sometimes 5mg since I have lived in Manila,Philippines. I have to wean off Lorazepam for awhile since you can't just stop Lorazepam right away and there is no Lorazepam here in Manila. Diazepam is the answer so I have switch to it. It works really well.."


"I've been on doxycycline for about 10 years at 100 mg, twice a day. It works great at clearing up my cystic acne that I get on my chin.  About six months ago I ended up with ulcers in my stomach and my Digestive Health Specialists thought it was the doxycycline causing it. Stop taking it for 4 weeks & my acne was daily on my chin again. It's a great medicine, but hard on the stomach."


"For years I suffered from severe back pain and despite medical records from specialists I was treated like a street level drug abuser by at least 20 different doctors. I was past the end of my rope. Two years ago I found a doctor who had compassion and put me on Oxycontin and now I actually have a very productive life!"


"Don't expect this to work quickly. Most people are hoping for something to clear their acne up right away and I can assure you this isn't it. My acne wasn't totally clear until about three months into using this medication, and there was a lot of suffering in the in between time. And once it cleared up, the dermatologist took me off it to avoid bacterial resistance. So now my acne is coming back, and by now having been off doxy for about two months my acne is almost as bad as it was before. If you're looking for a permanent solution or a quick fix, this isn't a good choice"


"Prescribed 500mg twice a day for 14 days for a skin infection following surgery as Co-Axoxiclav did not work.  A couple of hours after taking the first pill I noticed a strong metallic taste in my mouth - minor problem though so would obviously put up with this.  On day 2, I had awful stomach cramps doubled over in pain which then became severe diarrhoea for over 24 hours before I stopped taking them altogether.  I also had one night were I had really bad dreams & hallucinated that there was someone in my room!  I now know that's a known problem with these drugs.  My doc is prescribing me an alternative but if they don't work then its hospital treatment for me."


"I was recommended Mirena after I got a blood clot at 17 years old due to a protein s deficiency, Mirena was my only option. I decided after years of research that it was time to try it out. Having never had kids I was told the insertion and everything would be a little more painful than a mother would experience (my mom was on Mirena) the insertion was painful, but after I was fine. About 3 days later I was in so much pain that I kept throwing up and couldn't stand up straight, my gyno said this was normal... I've had my IUD in for 1.5 years, about twice a year a get pain like I did originally. I've noticed mood swings, weight gain and total loss of any sex drive. Only reason I've kept it this long is it's my only option"


"So the first time I was on the pill, I was put on Beyaz. Beyaz made me gain about 15  Ibs. It made me crazy with mood swings. I got off of it within 6 months. After that I would go back and forth on whether to get back on birth control. So about a month and a half ago, I decided to go to the doctor for a check up. I told my doctor about my experience with Beyaz. He told me that he had the perfect birth control for me, Lo Loestrin Fe. I was scared to take it but it was worth a shot. If anything this birth control has made my weight stick. I have had NO mood swings. No weight gain. The only symptoms I've had was going from a C cup to a D cup, and breast tenderness near my period, which is overall normal for me. This is the best birth control by far."


"I started taking this medication 3 months ago. I stopped taking it because of the side effects - I could have stuck it out through the breast tenderness & mild breakouts, but the exhaustion and depression have been getting worse over the last two months so I stopped the pill. Also experienced a racing heartbeat occasionally - this medication is NOT for me. Do your research before taking, I recently read an article about the pill being linked to depression - it certainly affected my mood."


"Lilly told me that my undershirt is still a risk to my family after 10 hours. How am I supposed to manage that? Many people do laundry in my house. Shirts are in baskets and the laundry shoot. I can't get everyone to wash their hands every time they touch something of mine."

"I take birth control pills because I have very painful periods. I've been taking them for 5 years, and I have tried many different brands. I just switched from Belara to Ortho Cept because they don't sell Belara in the country I am in.

The good: Belara gave me really bad nausea for the first week of the month. I have had no nausea with Ortho Cept so far. No acne, weight gain, or loss of libido.

The Bad: I had never experienced migraines with any other contraceptive before. This is my second month on Ortho Cept and I get migraines every day for the first 5 or 6 days of the month.

The Ugly: Belara made me cranky before my period. Sad/angry. On Ortho Cept it happens twice every month: at the beginning and at the end."


"I started taking this at 10mg a week ago, my doctor told me to take it twice a day but usually  l  take it once a day when I'm at home. This is because after taking it I feel extremely dizzy, sick, sleepy & out of it, so I can't take it at work or school (even though those are the two places I need it the most). I hate it and I'm not sure what to do. It does help my anxiety but I would rather be anxious than to feel sick, dizzy and sleepy and in my own world."


"I am pleased to say, that I have been taking Remeron for about 4 months after recovering from severe acute pancreatitis, including surgery and a 5 1/2  month hospital stay. I take it at bedtime,  sleep 8-10 hours , wake without drowsiness and it seems to have helped curb my anxiety due to significant family problems."


"I LOVE Zomig! I was bed-ridden for 2 days almost every month for years from horrible migraines. I thought I had tried everything to no avail (including Imitrex and many others) and then went to a new neurologist to ask for Botox based on another doctor's suggestion. He gave me 3 samples of medicines I had never tried. The 1st one didn't work (can't recall what it was) and the 2nd 1 was Zomig. Bingo!!! Finally something that worked even after the headache has set in! So expensive though - very minimal coverage by insurance."


"I love Ambien - it slows my racing, worried mind and lets me sleep through the night. I just take 5 mg tablet and that works great. I am a Type 1 diabetic for 43 years, and notice no side effects."


"I started taking saint John wort a week ago. I have bad anxiety with slight depression, but its being looked into if thus could be PTSD as I have flash backs, fear of leaving the house alone, a lot of trouble sleeping, mild panic attacks the list goes on. Anyway, I have been sleeping easier without that groggy drugged feeling you get with sleeping tablets. I have been calmer and for 5 days haven't felt overwhelmed with fear. I have been relaxed enough to go to the shop alone. I don't feel as down. I've also been taking b12 in the morning so have a bit more energy to. I will say though I don't like the taste, it stinks and I have noticed my hair has gotten greasy really fast? Oh and I'm not smoking as much, just don't fancy one as much now."


"I am taking this medication due to pre diabetes, insulin resistant. I am taking it with metformin. I am up to the 1.2 dose after two weeks and I have lost about 3 lbs, however I feel really sick to my stomach and I have had headaches everyday. I am not hungry and food does not taste the same which could be a good thing. I find it hard to figure out what I want to eat and then I can never finish it because I get full faster. So I can see that this could be a really great way to lose the weight but when I test my sugar it's still at 160 so I am not sure if it is doing what its supposed to do. I am also having trouble sleeping, not sure if that is a side effect or not."


"I commenced Celebrex 100mgs twice a day following shoulder surgery. Aided freer movement but causing increased restlessness and reflux."


"Not as effective as previous prescribed med for chronic pain but does take the edge off. Prescribed to take 2 times a day but could benefit more from 3 times a day. Pain reaches high level before 2nd dose is supposed to be taken (I have a high tolerance). Instructions are put tablet under tongue, let dissolve. Not a good taste but can feel pain level dropping. Other than bad taste, no side effects. Also on antidepressant for depression and appetite but this improves appetite better.  Would recommend for pain."


"I had my doubts about this product based of the negative reviews about it comparing its effectiveness to its cost. I started getting a cold sore yesterday morning and a bump started forming by the time I got off work. I went to buy Abreva and I had used it a total of four times sincerely last night and right now (less than 24 hours). I'll admit that the bump did get bigger overnight reaching its full size (which normally takes me about thee days) and just about half an hour ago, the cold sore finally popped after this fourth application. Cold sores for me usually pop by day five. True to its advertising, it has extremely reduced my healing time. I think people are expecting too much now that I have had my own experience with Abreva."


"I struggled with depression, mood swings, and incredibly severe anxiety at a very young. Effexor is the only drug that worked for me. I went up to 150mg and that really helped me control my anxiety and depression. I became more outgoing and was able to enjoy life in a way I hadn't been able to before. The one con with this medication is the withdrawal, which is severe. If I miss a dose I experience fatigue, powerful electrical shocks throughout my body, and I become very withdrawn and "out of it". I switched to taking 2 doses; one 75mg at night and morning. I switched recently to pristiq to see if it would 't have this side effect, but it does (although, less severe) and it isn't as effective. I will be going back to Effexor."


"I love No-Doz (caffeine citrate).  Way cheaper than red bull, easier on the stomach than coffee, no stained teeth or coffee breath."


"I have been on 100mg for 1 year now. Works great for sleep and pain. Downfall, I have gained 50lbs."


"I have been a pack a day smoker for 25 years with no real desire to quit until I had a health scare in December.  Luckily it ended up being just a scare, but it did send me the message that I needed to quit smoking.  I started Chantix 1-23-2010 and quit 1-29-2010. The Chantix has been helpful but I still wanted to smoke up to the very last cigarette, even though it wasn't as pleasurable.  I was able to minimize the nausea by taking it after a meal and drinking lots of water, but the vivid dreams really affected the quality of my sleep.  At this point I have already decided to taper off the Chantix due to the sleep issues.  This week I am only taking one 1 mg pill per day, and next week plan to go to one-half of a 1 mg pill and then stop."


"This was the first birth control I was on. I was on it for 2 years. I didn't have any extremely terrible side effects and the birth control did what it's intended to do, PREVENT BABIES. I did experience increased discharge, extreme lack of sex drive, and extreme fatigue. It didn't make me nauseous or vomit. I recently switched to the Nexplanon and will never go back to the pill!"


"This medicine made me gain weight."


"Worked great for my 7 year old daughter who has been constipated for a very long time. She did not fight me to take and produced results with in 3 hours. My daughter was very happy not to have pain."


"I had been using my fast acting inhaler up to 4 times daily, that is before I started using Symbicort.  Shortly after using Symbicort for the first time, I noticed the pain in my chest was finally gone.  No more painful inflammation in my lungs.  I'm no longer producing that crappy mucus, and I have not had an asthma attack in the 6 months that I have been using Symbicort.  The only real side effect I have experienced was the sensation of my own heartbeat when using it for the first time, and sometimes I get a head rush when I take it.  Other than that, I'm happy to have my life back. I can finally go to bed knowing I can sleep through the night without the fear of waking to an attack.  I love this stuff."


"I started xulane in May 2016 all was good. I get very nauseous at times dizzy back ache this month I've been feeling very bloated and upset stomach, I took it off for a while because it made me very depressed, and a zombie I normally have lots of energy now I am a bumb lol. Ok i have to force myself out of bed, increase in breast size that's a plus so far but everything else i hate can't wait to get back on copper i.u.d."


"On Norvasc since 1992.  Started with 5 mg.  After kidney cancer, one kidney removed in 2004, blood pressure slowly rose, now I take 10 mg once a day.  Also tried all generic brands, but the filler in all maintenance medication causes an Adverse Reaction, called Myalgia.  Pain in the groin and upper legs, so must stay on Name Brand, Norvasc.  Now Kidney Disease, Stage 4, blood pressure often rises, usually because I get off my strict diet.  It will go up to 200/100, but generally it stays 134/73.  I am 76 years old, so that 134/76 is a perfect blood pressure for my age, especially with Kidney Disease.  Norvasc has been a life saver for me."


"Suffer with plantar fasciitis in both feet on a daily basis.
Based in London UK."


"Because of stomach issues, I am unable to take NSAIDS.  However, I have severe osteoarthritis and some rheumatoid arthritis, with multiple joint replacements, not all of which have had a satisfactory outcome.  I am very judicious about using the oxycodone and check in regularly with my Doctor. It's been a God send."


"Remicade has been a miracle medicine for me treating acute Crohns disease, rheumatoid arthritis and colitis. The difference in me is night and day. I am so grateful to be on my way to being well again!"


"After about 8 meds over 5 years with most helping little if any I started with Enbrel and it is like night and day. This helps so much. Try it!!"


"I've been on this medication for over two months. BuSpar helps with day to day, general anxiety. That said, I don't feel that I can rely on this medication to stop a panic attacks. I still have agoraphobic feelings, and certain anxious thoughts (hypochondria type things) that haven't ceased since before starting this medication.
Side effects I've noticed: Lightheadedness. Moderate fatigue. Munchies, snackyness. Increased libido and depth of taste.
Give it a try. Compared to SSRI's, it seems to be as effective without changing one's brain chemistry so drastically."


"It worked!! Relief took 12 hours but it was gentle and no painful complications. Would rather wait than go through a very painful solution in a few hours. Thank you Miralax!!❤❤❤"


"My mind would race like there was no tomorrow. I felt so out of whack that I was in tears almost everyday frustrated with my anxiety/panic attacks, which started about 2 and 1/2 years ago. I am 23 years old and felt my wheels were just turning and turning, stuck in the mud I couldn't shake it and move forward with my life. I feel I was ruining myself and my relationships around me until I was prescribed Buspirone. The crawling in my skin feeling subsided and I am comfortable for the fist time in a long time with my life. I was prescribed a week ago and almost instantly I felt like myself (not a worrying mess). I am able to focus better and live my life again. I still get that feeling of anxiousness but feel things can only get better from here."


"I started taking citalopram  for a number of reasons but ultimately  all connected  to life long anxiety. Initially I was on 10 mg once per day. I found this resulted in ups and downs. I tried taking 10 mg  morning and evening. 20 mg in total. This has really helped to balance things out. I still get drowsy but this is compensated by coffee! I think that I will need to be on citalopram for life as my anxiety is life long and I am unable to control it without medication.... I. E. All the negative thoughts etc are real to me. I find I can now and can live a fairly full and normal  life. Even drink alcohol. I know that if I do stop taking citalopram, things will return back to the way they were."


"Out of all the anti-psychotics I have taken, Seroquel makes me feel the most normal! I was on put on Geodon originally in 2012 when I had my first psychotic break.  The Geodon made me gain 60 lb eventually caused insomnia, binge eating, and heavy drinking. Drugs like Fanapt and Lutuda made me more depressed/mind rush.
I was put on Seroquel in 2015. My binge eating disorder continued, and I gained 40 lbs that year :/. It made me feel a million times better than Geodon though. I was able to stop popping Xanax and klonopin everyday. I eventually stopped binge eating in October, 2016 and lost the 40lbs. Currently I take 600mg of seroquel and 100mg of Zoloft, and .5 mg of Xanax at night as needed to quiet my thoughts."


"I have had Mirena for about 9 months now. I do not use it for birth control as my husband is fixed. :) I use it for bleeding control. I would bleed myself into anemia on my periods. It has stopped that completely. I only spot for a day or two. The side effects I feel is lower sex drive, gained 10lbs, and it was painful to insert with mild cramping. I do get headaches, cramps and sore breasts when I ovulate but that is it. I like it and it has helped the bleeding now I just wish I could get my sex drive back and loose weight. Guess it's time to go to the gym and eat healthy.  :)"


"I give this medicine a 5 because it does lower your blood pressure but unfortunately the side effects are pretty bad. I was diagnosed with hypertension at 25 and before benicar I never had a dizzy spell in my life. Now dizzy spells are just part of life as well as fatigue and breathing issues.  It's not all the time but a few times a week I just feel unwell. I think this is a good medicine for an older person who just needs to get the numbers down but it's terrible for a young active person."


"
Good. Concentration, happy, easy to talk to

Bad: ECG showed it was bad for my heart, had to stop. Anxiety, afraid and didn't know why. Although it made me happy it felt fake and like I was a prisoner in my mind just  pleasing others. I won't take it to please others.

Meds basically free in my country after reaching over $300 cause third highest tax paying country in the world."


"I'm a 29 year old female with no preexisting medical conditions. My doctor recommended Contrave for assistance with weight loss. I was originally on the phentermine diet pill but my doctor said that pill wasn't healthy. I was hesitant to use Contrave because it was SO expensive. I paid $98 for it with a coupon. Once I saw that it was the #1 prescribed weight loss pill, I thought it would be worth it. Well...I'm 3 weeks in to taking the pill 2x daily with absolutely NO weight loss. The first day I was sick as a dog but after that nothing. It has not curbed my appetite at all. I still crave sweets, salty food etc..even more than I did when I was on the phentermine pill which is cheaper.  I feel like I wasted my money."


"I'm a very anxious person, so I was scared about the prep. The stuff tastes bad but with small sips got each dose done within 20 minutes. Took a wee taste of honey after each 3-4 sips. The aftertaste goes away fast. 1st dose started working in 30 min, took about 4 hours until done. First two trips were nastiest, then got clear. Second round at 1:30 AM, worked faster and for less time. I fell asleep at 4:00 am no problems although I slept on a towel. Tips: eat lightly the 2 days before, no fiber; start to put Vaseline on your bum a day in before. All told, I've been WAY sicker in Mexico etc; drinking was the worst, bathroom not bad; found 4 polyps  - 52 yo female, good health habits, so very surprised.  Do the best with prep and do the test."


"This was a terrible experience.  The pharmacist warned me of the side affects but I just thought it would not affect me as other medicines have not.  This stuff gave me diarrhea, cramps, and nauseous.  My doctor had instructed me to take it for 7 days.  After 1.5 days I could not stomach this.  I called him and he told me not to take any more of this medicine. "


"Initially I read many of these reviews and became horrified at some of the side effects people were listing seemed totally not worth it. Don't be turned off or scared by these select few! I would recommend this to anyone. Being on this bc has not affected or altered my body in any way whatsoever. No personality/mood swings of any kind, no weight gain/bodily changes, no acne, no migraines or backpain, no loss in sex drive etc. If anything theres been an increase in my sex drive and I%u2019ve noticed small bumps I may have had on my face clearing easily. My pre period symptoms before and during my long and heavy periods were awful. Days off school and work since I was 11, nausea, fever, severe cramping, night sweats, headaches, backpain etc. all this is now completely gone! Light and short period right at the end of the pack, I didn%u2019t even notice it%u2019s a dream come true. No pregnancy despite regular unprotected sex and lighter periods. Hopefully it continues to be just as wonderful, give it a go people."


"I was on Klonopin for 16 yrs. now side effects. Been off for three years now going through life changes I am experiencing a lot of panic attacks and anxiety racing thoughts scared to be alone and running to try to avoid these feeling. But, it wouldn't stop. Now I am on Klonopin again for a little help to get through this tough time so I can think. Klonopin is my choice because I have been on it for so long I know what it does for me. When I need it and when I don't. Like I said before I haven't had a side effect and after I take just on pill I feel great clear thinking and focused.  A lot of people can't take Klonopin but for me it's my life savor."


"I have been afflicted with hyperhidrosis for over a decade. A pharmacist told me about Drysol. I followed the products directions, and applied it before bed time for three consecutive nights. To test it I ate very spicy food. In the past my head would have been drenched, but it was totally bone dry. Drysol is a God send! It is truly a miracle cure. I will follow the directions and apply it once or twice a week. It really alters and shrinks the sweat glands. I can't say enough great things about this fabulous product. My life has really changed for the better. Thanks from the bottom of my heart Drysol makers!"


"I'm a 47-year-old female and was born with spina bifida, also my spinal cord is tethered. I have scoliosis as well. I don't even remember a day of not being in pain. I have been on just about all the typical narcotic medications. In June 2011 I finally had to quit my job after 24 years because of the severe pain. My family doctor prescribed Nucynta until I can get an appointment with PM. I've been on Nucynta for 3 days, and even though the pain relief seems better than any of the other medications, the side effects are making me evaluate about whether to stay on it or not. I've been getting waves of nausea, headaches, dizziness and feeling as if I am overheated. I'm going to keep taking it and hope that the side effects will subside."


"I had arthroscopic surgery in 2012 to clean up the damaged cartilage under kneecap so basically bone on bone under knee cap.  They also did lateral release to straighten kneecap.  Two months later I had series of 3 Synvisc shots which lasted two years.  I don't remember two much pain.  In 2014, I waited two long and until I had a lot of pain to get next series of Synvisc.   Last shot was painful.  We switched to Euflexxa and I just had second shot yesterday.   The pain the three days after is the worst.  After first shot, it took 3 days to recover and four days of no pain before second shot.  Today is day after second shot and I have much pain.  Will report back after 3rd shot and update to see if this is better than Synvisc."


"I am so lucky I live in Denmark where it is free to get all kinds of medicines. Enbrel has been working quite well actually for the past 2.5 year, but recently my doctor recommend me to get out of it, and I started by pushing it with 3 days, and the 3 days made my knees swell up. Now I am back with the 7 days interval, but it wont really help as much as before. So, I guess it was too soon to get out of using it."


"I took two of these for a migraine and it just made it worse."


"I had my Nexplanon inserted 7 weeks postpartum in October 2015. I had light spotting for a few weeks which was expected according to my doctor. I have no sex drive at all and thought that was because of having a new baby, but 5.5 months in and I still hate it. Not just because the desire is down, but also this medication has caused my doctor to diagnose me with a post menopausal vagina due to nursing my infant while being on it. She said breast feeding already causes Estrogen levels to drop and Nexplaonon does so as well. She prescribed me a vaginal cream and it is still the most excruciating experience when trying to have sex. My hair is so greasy and I have had SEVERE acne for a month now. Removal scheduled for 2 weeks out."


"Great pain medication. I was on morphine immediate release 6 15mg a day, am on Embeda 20mg and now take 2 immediate release.
The immediate release was not working for me at all, now I have great pain control.

As for feeling tired etc. Took the medicine for at least a week, all those side effects went away for me.
"


"took 2 pills around 10 p.m. continued to drink around 4 water bottles before falling asleep at about 12.  Woke up at 5:15 with some pretty harsh pain and cramping in my stomach along with nausea. Went to the bathroom and sat on the toilet for a couple hours with diarrhea, in the end it did exactly what it was intended to. Stomach pain is harsh but it gets the job done."


"I am on a 14 day course of avelox for pneumonia. Apparently it was quite well spread over both lungs. First course of antibiotics made no difference. Ended up in emergency where they did a CT scan and I was given 2 lots of antibiotics via a drip. Was sent home with avelox which has improved things greatly. The side effects are I am very tired, no appetite ! This medication is well worth the side effect. A very frightening experience !"


"Today is my second day and I feel okay.  I am in transition from Celexa to Wellbutrin XL.  I take Wellbutrin XL 150mg in the morning and Celexa 10mg in the evening.  The only main noticeable side effects are I am a little anxious and I have stomach cramps.  They are not terrible though.  I expect to have some transition period.  I know it sounds crazy but I lost 1 pound in the 1st day I took it. Celexa put 10 -15 lbs on me that I cannot take off even with exercise.  I will keep you updated!"


"I have experienced anxiety since being diagnosed with Cancer 4 years ago. I use 0.5 MG's twice daily and stick to this dosage given to me by my doctor. It helps me tremendously. I have tried to step off it several times and found it very difficult. Will remain on it for as long as I need it. It improves my life quality and keeps panic and anxiety at bay."


"My cardiologist put me on Lasix over a month ago due to edema of the legs and ankles. My rate of urination was about every 45 minutes nowhere as bad as some of the reviewers. I refilled my prescription and noticed an immediate change. Instead of every 45 minutes, it changed to every hour and a half. The only difference is the manufacturer.  The Lasix made by Sandoz seems to work fine. "


"Used it for a mth  and having the weirdest seizures ever"


"Took this med for toe fungus for 3 months. Fungus is gone but absolutely most horrible constant metallic taste in my mouth which makes me constantly swallow. On top of that it has definitely caused a loss in taste as flavors are dull and even spicy food seems bland. The worst part is that I finished the meds 2 months ago and I've not regained my taste, my appetite or gotten rid of the constant metallic taste in my mouth. I'm horrified to think it's permanent and I'll have to live with this side effect the rest of my life. NEVER would have taken this medication had I known it might cause this damage to my ability to enjoy food/life forever."


"I was very skeptical about going on medication and I was really against it but after a big breakdown and not seeing the light, I took lexopro. I kept reading the reviews daily for hope as it took along time for the medication to kick in. Please give it 8 to 10 weeks! Now thoughts that would upset me just don't. It helps to lift the heavy fog and help you to live a normal life again. I still have anxiety at times but I am slowly increasing and it is helping. Thank you lexopro you really are a miracle. Dont give up guys!"


"Hey guys,

Tadalafil (and generics that can be purchased from outside the U.S.) are a must if you are suffering from ED. I am 41 and was probably 38 when I first started noticing that things weren't working as well as they had been. ED can really creep up on you slowly, but it was getting to the point where I was rushing to finish out of fear of losing my erection. Don't be embarrassed, go to your doctor and get a prescription. Ask for a Tadalafil script and then check out online Canadian pharmacies (there are legit ones out there) to get the drug at affordable prices. Don't be afraid of generics, mine works just as good as Cialis did. Rock hard, long-lasting erections on demand. Morning wood has returned. Flaccid size improvement. Do it!"


"This medicine has been amazing for me. I don't feel high, just like a normal person for the first time in years. It's like a huge weight has been lifted from me. I am very sensitive to medication, so I waited a long time to ask my new doctor for something else. I had been using St. John's Wort for a while and it really helped but I think I became immune to it.

When I started on Lexapro, I cut the 10 mg tablets in half and only took 5 mg for the first few days, then moved to 10 mg. The higher dose made me restless and anxious and unable to sleep, plus stomach cramps. The lower dose has some stomach discomfort and nighttime wakefulness, but antacids and melatonin control it. Plus, I'm losing extra weight!"


"Have severe D-IBS since childhood, have never been able to keep job or even get through school. Lotronex was my miracle when I had access to it for a year and a half. It was the best year and a half of my life! I felt like a normal person, living a normal life for a change. Medicare changed the plans and I've not been able to get it covered since. I'll always have hope though!"


"I have been on Cymbalta for the last 2 weeks. The side effects have been difficult, stomach pain, the first few nights I couldn't sleep and thoughts raced through my mind, I was also having severe suicidal thoughts and I was still waking up from the pain and tingling sensation in my arms and shoulders. this is week three and I find that my mood has improved, but I'm sweating a lot. the fibro pain is present and I'm tired a lot. I tried taking it at night but find my chest hurting the next day so I switched to mornings on a full stomach and that's improved the stomach pain. I have restless leg and if I'm late on taking my next dose I'm jittery. I don't really know if its working for my pain, but my mood is much better, I'm not suicidal."


"I love this pill! I wasn't sure I was going to be able to remember and keep myself on track with the one pill a day but I set an alarm on my phone and have no problems, I've experienced a lot of weight gain (need to move up bra size, went up a size in jeans & shirts) but I'm happy about that because I was at 87lb in a month of taking it, I went to 102lb. My periods are light, I've never really had cramps so I can't say anything there."


"While it did make the pain stop, it didn't help the other symptoms I have.  It also left a dull aching pressure in my face, made my chest hurt, and my hair felt as though it was being pulled.  I found out later it is not supposed to be used by people who've had atypical migraines, which I've had."


"I was taking 30 mg of Actos daily, and for the two weeks after I seriously started taking it, I had dull throbbing headaches to full blown migraines non-stop!  About 2 weeks into taking it, I developed a dull pain in my kidney area.  Thinking it was a kidney infection, I went to my Dr's.  We found out that it was muscle soreness...one of the common side effects.  I also gained weight. As soon as I stopped taking it, the headaches stopped,and the muscle pain is going away."


"I just got my IUD installed yesterday, the placing of it was so painful for me. My doctor said the that usually it hurts more when you haven't had a baby before, the cramping feels like a slight contraction, that's what he described it as. That kinda made me feel like not wanting kids anymore - not going to lie. Today is day 2 with it and I feel cramping for a few seconds come and go. He said I will feel cramping as my body adjusts to it. So far so good, other than the placement and the cramping, I have seem to lost my appetite.... im the type that would eat every 20 minutes and as soon as It was placed my sense of hunger was gone. I'm not sure if it has to do with the cramping or the IUD but hopefully it stays like"


"I had my nexplanon inserted 4 weeks ago as mainly a contraceptive method, insertion was quick and easy, not painful at all, just slight bruising. 3 days ago I started bleeding, its been getting heavier and the cramps in my abdomen and lower back are terrible, much worse than my usual period. I have also been very emotional, on the verge of tears too which is not like me! I am willing to give this a few months trial but if my periods will be worse than before its not a method I would want to persevere with"


"I've been taking ambien (generic teva) brand for the past 5 years. It works best when you take it on an empty stomach, meaning no food for a couple hours( if you take it with food or after you eat it won't work as well). I prefer to break mine into pieces in my mouth. I feel it works faster that way. Ambien has a very short half life so this medicine is good at getting you to sleep but not necessarily keeping you asleep for more than a few hours. When I was really depressed I would take 5mg to fall asleep then I'd wake up 4-5 hours later being wide awake and I'd take the other half."


"I've been on OrthoCept for only a week and I have noticed horrible symptoms. I knew that nausea would be common, but I didn't realize that I would not be able to sleep. I also became moodier than I have ever been in my life. I decided to take the pill to help with my mood and my acne. This was the pill for me. My acne has become more horrible than I have ever experienced in my life. I have acne all over my back and chest now, a place where I had never had acne before. I would become very numb also and my headaches seem to have turned into migraines! My breasts are very tender also. I know that it has only been one week, but I cannot risk being even more moody than before. "


"It works as sleeping pill!! rather then for allergic!!"


"I am 39 years old, have never been pregnant and had my Mirena inserted a month ago. I got it hoping to get lighter periods and an increased sex drive. I had been taking birth control pills, which can negatively affect your sex drive.

I took a Xanax and a Darvocet before the insertion and still found it quite painful with cramping for two days.  Then I had spotting and mild cramping for a week.  Now I have been bleeding almost as heavily as a normal period for about a week (longer than they used to last).

I am very excited for this adjustment period to be over and to stop bleeding. As for side effects, my skin is actually clearer than before and I%u2019m always moody anyway."


"I have diarrhea, but it's maybe just that my body isn't used to it. Reading others experiences does compel me to drink more water. I'm on a three times a day for my abscess, but I only do two a day. I hear my body. Lol. So far, I saw some results when I took it with water, food, water, brushed and flossed, took one pill in the day and one before bed; BUT once I stopped, it rose back up."


"I Gained 50 POUNDS in the first 2 months of taking it. Didnt Work At All. Still had insomnia."


"I suffer from appetite suppression as a result of medication which I take for narcolepsy(Amphetamine-based). Although the medicine works wonderfully, the only negative side effect that kills me is appetite suppression. Hence, my introduction to Marinol! I would like to clarify a common myth that Marinol is a form of prescription "medical marijuana". My doctor explained it is a synthetic cannabinoid, a distant chemical cousin of marijuana that lacks recreational effects at therapeutic doses. It works by activating the endocannabinoid system of the brain, which regulates appetite. When I first tried it, it started working by the end of the next day! "


"Risperidone and Elavil helped my daughter. She could not sleep and she had all F's in school. She started risperidone and Elavil about 4 years ago, and has been an A-B student since. She is in special education for only 30 minutes a day now."


"I have taken Trinessa for about 8 months and during maybe the first 2 I felt some nausea, but it quickly cleared my acne up and also helped with my heavy, painful menstrul cycle. I also noticed that I have a smaller appetite now and I have lost 15 pounds during the summer but I'm not complaining."


"This is the only product that has worked for me. Can you please improve the taste. Thank You."


"The best medicine I have taken for my pain."


"I've been taking Ambien/zolpidem for about 15 years now.  I am 55 years old and have had sleep issues as long as I can remember.  My brain just doesn't turn off at night without it.  I use the 10mg dosage but I cut the tip off so that I actually only take about 8mg nightly.  With 10mg I get 6-7 hours of wonderful sleep, but it leaves me with fog-brain for a couple of hours the next day.  With 8mg, I get 5-6 hours of sleep and wake up refreshed and clear headed.  The last few times I had the bright idea to get off the zolpidem, I lay awake most of the night wondering why I would want to get off such a great medicine.  I have had no side effects that I know of."


"Lithium has allowed me to live again."


"I started taking Lo Loestrin Fe about 2 months ago and I am breaking out horribly around my mouth and chin. I have always had acne but not that severe and it actually cleared up in the past year with the occasional pimple here and there....now I have cysts and white heads all over my chin that are not going away. I am finishing this pack and then calling my doctor to switch."


"I have had this thing in my arm for a month and I've bled pretty much the whole time. I've also had mood swings. They should take this off the market. According to all the reviews I've read, it looks like a lot more that 1 in 10 women have had bad changes in their cycle. This is ridiculous! I cant even have sex if I wanted to!! I am going to give this thing 2 more months and if this continues I am going to have it removed pronto!"


"You rarely hear about hyperhidrosis being anywhere but in the arm pits so it took me a long time to discover Drysol as I have suffered with excessive facial, neck, scalp, upper chest and armpit sweating for almost 20 years and its becoming worse the older I get. Drysol is a lifesaver as my sweating has gotten so bad I don't want to leave the house most days. I have only been using it for 4 days but I have almost stopped sweating altogether. It does sting a little when applied but applying it with a tissue has helped reduce the stinging as you use less."


"I chose liletta because I wanted something that I wouldn't have to worry about for a long time and don't trust myself to take the pill at the same time everyday. The insertion was painful but was very quick and the cramping subsided with ibuprofen, I have now been on it for about a year and a half and had some issues. When I got it in initially I bled for about 3 months straight and sometimes still experience random prolonged spotting. I also went to the ER with severe pain in my uterus and had tests done to find absolutely nothing wrong. Have had testing done since then to make sure and still everything looks fine. Other than that it has been pretty good but I don't feel that it is worth all the worry it has caused me and will be switching"


"I am a young 60 year old female. No one believes me that I am really 60! I was just diagnosed with Bipolar 2. I have been depressed for years and the antidepressants just stopped working. I over the last 8 months had become very angry, irritable, happy at times, and severely depressed to the point of wanting to die every day. My doctor finally sent me to a mental health professional and she diagnosed me bipolar. I started taking Lamictal and the first week I noticed I was feeling more even and not depressed. A month later now I feel as if I was handed my life back. I did have nausea with it, but that went away. Now I feel at peace inside! I have no depression and am finally HAPPY. Thank you Lamictal. "


"I took Accutane for my severe acne 13 years ago. I have not had a breakout since I started the medication. It cleared up my face, back and chest in 6 months and have not had acne since. I know this is a serious medication and has harmful side effects. The only side effects that I experienced was the extremely dry, flaky skin. I do not regret taking Accutane. I tried many acne medications prescribed by the doctor and nothing worked. The acne would get better and then I would have a major breakout again.  Accutane was the only thing that worked for me."


"I have been using Tacrolimus for the past 2 years. Had a liver transplant on 1 Aug 2009, was on Prograf but I live in Kenya and it is difficult to find Prograf in the local market so I went generic. I started out on 6mg twice daily, I'm down to 4mg twice daily. There's been no difference for me between the Prograf and the generic version... but I have put on weight."


"Was prescribed this for a UTI. Spent 6 hours in the emergency room for dehydration after 3 1/2 hours of extreme abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, and vomiting. This, after only 1 pill. Worse than my experience with augmentin by far."


"I started Seasonique 7 days ago and have experienced nausea, dizziness, anxiety and an overall sick feeling.  I am now going to try Lo-Seasonique to see if that is any better."

"I take allergy shots for air and mould.  The shots are marvellous, but occasionally when air and mould allergens are high I get a reaction.  That's when I take Zyrtec.  In couple of days my symptoms lessen, and by the third day they are gone.  Excellent product.  BTW, I have never experienced any negative side effects from Zyrtec."


"I LOVE Hypercare! I used all different kinds of deodorant to think of and NOTHING worked until one day I finally brought it up to my Dr. and had me try this and since have been SOLD! Even though my Health insurance covers it and co-pay is only $5 and Hypercare lasts 6 months for me and it's a tiny little bottle too!  Like everyone else says the first it's applied it stings and you WILL have to scratch, you get used it and that's totally tolerable for not sweating at all."


"Went to urgent care with a tooth ache. Told I had a severe sinus infection. Mind you I've had swelling on the left side of my face for 5 years, been thru every test out there, for answers with no success. Ever since the swelling started I've suffered ear infections (left side only) and sinus infections to no end. Dentist would tell me my X-rays don't look normal, but offered no explanation.  Okay so, urgent care prescribed penicillin 500mg, but I explain to the dr that I may have a tolerance to that with all the antibiotics I've been on so she prescribes,  Augmentin 875 2x a day for 10days. Over a few days I'm dizzy,  nauseous, pressure headaches like my brain is being squeeszed. The worst medicine EVER!!!"


"I've had nexplanon in my arm for just over 2 years with hardly any side effects.  It seems I'm one of the lucky ones.  The first year I had no period and almost no spotting.  The 2nd year I started spotting every 2 months or so but it was very light and only lasted a day or two.  The only downside I've had was last month I had light period for 3 weeks however in 2 years that seemed reasonable to me.  I had acne prior to going on the pill which cleared it up however when I went off it it came back.  Nexplanon cleared my skin up again and it has remained clear.  I also have had no weight gain or mood issue."


"Simponi had been the first biologic that has worked for my very active JRA (diagnosed 48 years ago)
I tried every biological available, Simponi was the first medication to work within hours for my severe symptoms at the time, with no side effects. I have been using Simponi for 8 months. I pray it continues working."


"Helped a great deal"


"My experience was SO much better than I had initially anticipated. I'm 23 with no kids and I had 0 problems with the ParaGard procedure. I just got it put in a couple hours ago so I can't give any info on the long term side effects. The procedure took about 5 minutes. She first put the opening clamp on me - not painful, then she measured me (which was my most uncomfortable moment, but still not even bad) she asked me to cough when she did that (I felt like a boy lol) then only 5 seconds later she inserted the small copper-plastic T. She then immediately took the clamp off. I wasn't nauseous or anything, just glad it was over and was very painless! Felt like a period cramp mixed with having to pee. Hope this helps you as it helped me :)"


"In September 2004 I had been an alcoholic for at least 30 years and been attempting to control my drinking for 10.

I was forced by my partner into taking Campral, I was sure it wouldn't work, that it was a waste of money, but after 5 weeks when I was being asked what I would like to drink I suddenly realized that alcohol no longer held any attraction for me that was 9 years ago today and I have never drunk, or even been tempted to drink since then.

There is an open bottle of wine in the door of our fridge, there is plenty of other drink in the house, I see it, but am never tempted to drink, the strangest effect is that when I sitting with people who are drinking, I am not envious, I don't want to join them, I don't feel left out."


"Rated a 5 due to its effectiveness at preventing pregnancy but I stopped taking it after many years of this brand or the same ingredients in different brands because I've finally realized it is the cause of my frequent migraines, terrible moodiness and anger issues. I stopped taking to try to conceive and had been off it for about two years. All of those side effects disappeared at least a great deal. Now I've been back on for 6 months and all side effects have reappeared. Please if you are experiencing depression, anger issues, anxiety or similar issues don't write it off, it will begin to have a huge affect on your daily life."


"I have taken Adipex before a little over a year ago and lost 10 pounds the first 2 weeks, then I stopped taking it.  I just recently started taking again on November 5th, and it really curves my appetite, and makes me drink lots of water due to dry mouth. I haven't started working out yet, but I try to only eat fruit for breakfast, a "smart one" for lunch and a 100 calorie snack during the day if I'm hungry. For supper I eat normal foods, just smaller portions, and drink nothing but water.  I have already noticed a difference in the way my clothes fit, but I'm not going to weigh for another 2 days. Starting weight 198.5lbs (5'4) Goal weight 145lbs.  I go back in one month and I will keep posting."


"I've been on it for 6 days now and I feel the same as I did before.  This is my first time taking it for a sinus infection.  I guess it doesn't work for me."


"After having a myocardial infarction on December 22, 2015 , I was still struggling to get my numbers down, after trying just about every statin on the market, they all made my body ache and my joints  so stiff I had to have help getting out of bed. I changed physicians she tried another statin with no luck. She asked if I would be willing to try praluent injections. LONG STORY SHORT NOTICE SIDE EFFECTS NUMBERS HAVE DROPPED DRAMATICALLY AND I FEEL GREAT,only benefit on injections 3 months!!!!!! Thank God for this medication!!!!!!! Got help paying for this from the manufacturer!!!"


"Depo was the worst thing I could have done to my body. After one shot  was horribly moody, my skin broke out, and I gained weight.  I never got another one but I bled for 3 months straight and the only way I could stop it was going on the pill. DO NOT USE THIS FORM OF CONTRACEPTION!"


"Fixed one problem, made another worse! My 14 years old child, has had seasonal depression and social anxiety. Her doctor said it would help with the anxiety too but it has left her always shaking uncontrollably and feeling more jittery and anxious than ever! It has helped the depression, she can go to school with a bit more ease and it'll keep her from throwing herself out a window. But her general ability to function is about the same because now she is too anxious instead of too sad."


"At first, this medication seemed great.  After a month or so I started breaking out more than ever.  I went back to using Metrocream and haven't had a serious breakout in years."


"Hi All,

I was on Yasmin for some 9 years and just moved onto Yaz 4 months ago.

I loved Yaz for the first month however, I am now finding that I have TERRIBLE mood swings...VERY emotional...cry for no apparent reason and get very angry! I've also found that I have zero sex drive. The only time I have one is when I am on the sugar pills..for the rest of the month I just feel numb!

Hasn't any one else had a similar experience?

I'm thinking of trying the Merino Coil...any ideas?

Thanks :)"


"I am a recovering alcoholic with 20 months sobriety and it became very clear to me that simply working the steps and following the AA program would not alleviate my depression. I have been on 50mg sertraline for a week now... I have moderate side effects ranging from insomnia (which I already experience anyway), to constipation and a feeling of being drugged. I somehow have the inability to cry, which is good because I sobbed uncontrollably from depression and PTSD nearly daily. I have faith that combining an SSRI with therapy will finally give me relief. I already feel as though my emotions are evening out, as I have had less ups and downs this week. If you are in recovery I highly recommend seeking mental professional help."


"I can feel some side effects. Such as visual problems, rashes in hand."


"Had taken this medication for a short while, it did alleviate my migraines,  unfortunately it caused such severe insomnia I was lucky to get 4 hours of sleep a night. I lost 10 lbs within 14 days which was nice but dropping the weight that fast caused major stomach issues. I never had the tingling others have had though. If it wasn't for the weight loss and insomnia it could have been a miracle migraine medicine!"


"Great experience going from abilify to rexulti although abilify did me a tad better."


"Worst topical medicine i have ever used. After applying once on my already almost healed pimples, it burnt my face, made it swollen and look way worse than it was before. Now have to roam around with a burnt face and big scars on my face. I would never ever recommend this to anyone."


"I have taken Lamictal for over two years now and I have noticed an extremely huge change in my outbursts of rage. I also take Paxil CR and these combined have helped me out a lot. A warning to those taking Paxil: DO NOT allow yourself to run out of medication."


"Knocked the pain for an acute bursitis flare-up. This drug must be pretty potent."


"I took Sovaldi with Ribavirin, I have to say this combination is FANTASTIC!!! I took the meds for three months, and I didn't experience ANY side effects- aside from a little drowsiness. Most of it is mental. I took the pills as directed, and just acted as if they were vitamins. My hep c was UNDETECTABLE after just one month- and my blood tests still remain that way... I am blessed to have found this medicine. I would recommend to ANYONE who wants to take this medication, to do so. Absolutely no reason not to! Good luck!!"


"I started this medication in mid May. Initially I didn't have any side effects. Not until I got to the 4 pill a day dosage. I started having anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. I immediately stopped the pill but it's still in my system 2 weeks after stopping it. It's still suppressing my appetite. But thank God the other side effects are slowly going away. Good news... I'm down 29 lbs.
I'll discuss with my doctor if there's a way around these side effects so I can continue to my goal weight. I would love to take off 20 additional pounds.
Other than these few issues I loved this medication."


"I love this gel. Just 10 seconds after I put it on an area with severe pain, the pain is gone completely for 2 hours. I couldn't believe it the first time I used it. I take some other strong prescription medication for knee and back pain and the medications don't do as good a job on the pain as this gel. I wish I could use it more than 4 times a day, but during my waking hours, it is a God send. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I would do a commercial for Voltaren Gel anytime, for free!"


"I have had migraines for over 25 yrs as well as fibromyalgia. I take Percocet 5-325 which has been the only thing that keeps me a person not just hiding in my room from the pain but I have started to notice that I have needed to take 2 pills ever 4-6 hrs instead of just one. But this pill has been a life saver."


"I used Crestor for about 3 weeks before I started having muscle and joint pain. Then I began having horrible spasms in my muscles that would wake me every night. I called my doctors office and they told me to take 1/2 a pill every other day. I did as he suggested, but didn't get relief until taken off this medicine. It did however lower my numbers."


"My restless leg syndrome results in cramp-like pains that nothing seems to help. Until I took 300 mg of Gabapentin. It definitely took care of the pain, but it left me feeling drunk the next morning! I was staggering when I walked and had great difficulty waking up. This lasted for several hours after I woke up. Thankfully, this only happened the first couple of times that I took Gabapentin. Unfortunately, it was only effective at 300 mg for about two weeks. I was supposed to move up to two capsules  (600 mg total) after the first week, but hadn't out of fear of the side effects and at first it seemed unnecessary. Once the pain came back, I added the 2nd capsule and the tired, groggy feeling lasted all day! I'm not going to keep taking it."


"Excellent for sleep. Take 10mg at bedtime & sleep extremely well with no groggy feeling in the morning. Love it!! Dry mouth sucks but totally worth it & super cheap!"


"Tried all other bi-polar medicines throughout the past 10 yrs. This one has the least side effects of them all. People tell me my behavior has vastly improved on Depakote. It's hard for me to see myself through other peoples eyes. But, sometimes maybe I should. Personally, for me, Depakote has been a life saver, I didn't want to live with it but find I can not live without it."


"Works great for me  , more energy and I feel good"


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"Severe stabbing bone pain, rash and blisters on body."


"Side effects experienced : Nausea, diarrhea, insomnia, depression."


"I agree with most when you say Dilaudid works best in an IV at the hospital. The pill form works very well but just takes a bit longer for relief. I've been on many pain medicines over the years but I find that this medication helps me to be more productive everyday...pain free!"


"There is a lot of other reviews that I have read that sums a lot of it up. Yes, you will most likely experience yawning, nausea, and headaches at first. It does go away! At first I also noticed a change in my sex life. I could still get in the mood but found it near impossible to orgasm.
Also, with sleep, I did feel tired for a bit, but I think it was because I experienced trouble sleeping at first.
I found some things that helped fix some of this:
I went from 20mg to 10mg a day.
I took it right after breakfast.
This one is important! Exercise! I started running again and I found that it had an extremely positive effect and it went well with the medication. A lot of the jitters I got at first went away, it helped me sleep better, and more!"


"After reading a large number of shocking reviews from people talking Dulcolax, I went to sleep extremely nervous after taking 1 pill at 11pm. I drunk a 500ml bottle of water immediately after taking the tablet. I did not wake once in the night, and finally woke at around half 7am where I experienced some mild cramping. This was expected after reading reviews however in my head I was preparing for the worst to come, but it never did. 15 minutes of cramping passed, I made my way to the bathroom where a normal bowel motion occurred, and now I feel much better with no lasting side effects. Overall, a good product however I strongly recommend drinking water after taking Dulcolax."


"I smoked about 3 packs a day, went down to 2 packs. I started taking Chantix it took me about a month and I stopped. I really have recommend this product to a lot of people, it really helped me so very much. I am post 1 year and 3 months and I feel so much better no pains in my chest,legs,arms just no pain at all."


"Worked fine for awhile, been having horrible calf and foot cramps that wake me up out of a dead sleep screaming!  I have had thrush about 10 tImes in the past 2yrs. Can't handle hot conditions for any length of time & I'm an Optician and it causes me blurred vision  at times so I have taken my self off this medication, the side affects are NOT worth the benefits of this medication"


"I was prescribed the generic version (blue pill) because I had trouble falling and staying asleep.  I would fall asleep in about 30-60 minutes, but only to stay asleep for 2-3 hours!  Than, I was wide awake.  This also left a horrible, bitter-like taste in my mouth the next day, especially when I drank water or tea.  I would not recommend this.  Perhaps, the brand name version doesn't have this nasty after taste and lasts longer.  But, if your insurance does not cover brand name, I would skip this drug.  I would go with Ambien.  My Dr prescribed the generic version of Ambien and it works better than generic Lunesta!  I fell asleep within 15-20 minutes of taking it and stayed asleep for about 4 hours.  Still not enough sleep though..."


"My Nexplanon was implanted January 2015 and was immediately amazing. No periods, no pain, no mood swings, no weight gain, and no babies. Now its been about a year and a half and I was prompted to leave this review after seeing some horror stories posted around the web involving this medication. The only change I've noticed since the first week I had it include light spotting (happened 4 days ever out of 18 months). My insurance covered nearly all of the expense, and the spotting is quite a fair trade for no more painful PMS or ultra heavy periods, and no unwanted pregnancies."


"I experienced spotting during the first month, but have not experienced any side effects since then. Sometimes I find it easier to insert than others, but it's pretty simple and its low-maintenance. I'd highly recommend it."


"Adderall has been a blessing to me. I take 30mg twice a day and my thinking has become so much more clear. I am now able to pay attention and absorb what is going on around me. I have had no negative side effects except for an occasional night where it might take me an extra 30 minutes to fall asleep. I still have a healthy appetite since taking Adderall. This medicine has made my life so much better."


"I got on Celexa about 5 months ago. The reason was stress. I went to the doctor for a routine physical after turning 30. He was going through a checklist of questions and when 'stress' came up I was like absolutely. Just married, new house, new baby, trying to elevate myself in the professional world --- all wonderful stuff but challenging and stressful. He prescribed Celexa to "take the edge off." It did just that. Nothing major, but you can feel it for the first few weeks. You're just a little more chill. It makes it difficult to get angry (i.e. road rage never happens). I took it a few months then I stopped. Didn't notice any side effects from getting off it. Didn't feel it anymore after a few months anyway."


"Extreme insomnia when first starting it.  Also, woken up by urge to have a bowel movement.  Both seem to subside after body gets used to the medicine."


"This medicine worked wonders for my 3 year old's allergies, however, I am in the process of taking him off of it. He has always been a very well-behaved child, soft spoken and very smart.

Since he started taking the medication (from the first day) he has been completely unable to sit still, has been chewing on things (something he outgrew a year and a half ago), and has been unable to follow simple directions. He has also been much more aggressive.

When I asked him about it, he said (word for word), "It makes me feel wiggly. And when the wiggles start I can't stop them and the house spins and I fall down."

I urge parents to keep an eye on their children for behavioral changes always, especially with this medication."


"This medication was like a miracle for me. I'm on 2 other narcotics but they hardly touch the pain. With this I feel as good as I did 13 years ago before I became disabled. Use responsibly as your doctor prescribes. This is by far the most relief I've ever had."


"I have been on 1.5mgs of Klonopin for 17 years and it has given me a life. I have had panic disorder, OCD, depression, Tourettes and social phobias since birth. I gave the first 34 years of my life to these conditions, unable to work, raise my kids properly or leave an abusive marriage. While I agree that this is not a medicine for those who have an addictive personality, for those of us who merely want relief from panics, it is a miracle."


"Within 20 minutes after I took the first pill, the pain began to subside, and was completely gone within 30 minutes."


"It's not strong enough for severe degenerative disc disease, bulging, herniated discs and worst of all the neck fractures/ twice and 18 years of no medical treatment. This is a great medication."


"If you are reading reviews... stop. Paraguard reacts differently to everyone that gets it, I almost scared myself out of getting it after days of reading the reviews but you will never know if you do not go through with it. I'm not lie it was painful day one and two, but it really is not bad! My periods are the same as they used to be (last about 4 days with moderate flow) just a bit crampier a week before and when I ovulate. The pain is nothing a few Advil  can't solve.

A few side effects that I experienced
- I was bloated for the first couple weeks
- Spot bleeding here and there
- Cramps are sharper

Honestly that's it...for me this was the BEST option on the market!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I took every-1's best advice (thx!) & created my routine:  My last 'real meal' Sun; followed low/no-fiber diet & I never felt hungry. The 2 bottles of Suprep & Berry Propel water & a whole lemon were in fridge 3+ days earlier.  Wed prep: I put 2 pairs of socks on, applied Vaseline, cut lemons into wedges, & sucked on the them between gulping the cold Suprep w/BP before the after-taste set in. All I tasted was grape. Yummy. I was able to drink it w/in 3 mins, & w/2 bottles of H2O w/in 20 mins. Was told to start 5pm, I began 4:15pm so I could have a good night's sleep. Didn't kick in until 5:15. Asleep by 8:20pm. Nurse said to drink #2 @ 4am for 7:15 arrival, but woke up earlier & took it 3am done by 5pm & slept more. Was clean as a whistle."


"Pentasa has changed my life totally. Was going to toilet up to 10 times a day until I was prescribed this. Now I've got my freedom back. Brilliant! No side effects worth worrying about. Take 2 x 500mg slow release tablets twice a day."


"I was on the name brand adderall 20mg twice a day for years untill my pharmacist switched me the the BARR generic brand and now I'm having horrible mood swings, very irritable, can't seem to sleep at night and after my first dose in the morning I have a horrible come down that lasts all day and it doesn't matter if i take another pill or even two, they won't give me and energy or concentration!! This is the worst generic brand out there!! And I looked it up tons of people have the exact same issues with the BARR generic brand!! Make sure if your getting the generic that you ask you pharmacist if he or shes going to give you the barr brand cause you need to go to a different pharmacy!!!! Worthless horrible stuff!!!"


"Had a bad case of bronchitis, very good drug, only side effect was nervousness. But I'd rather have the jitters than bronchitis anyday!"


"Almost immediately elimination of night time visits to bathroom...and accompanying discomfort  of urination ..could sleep all night and in the morning no painful urination... First night or 2  encountered mild side effects including mild nasal congestion and minor headaches or occasional back pain, but side effects went away after a few days... certainly manageable  but sensed no immediate or significant  flow improvements (strange) ....

Now 2 weeks in flow is improving ...no erection issues except reduced semen (who cares) and occassional multiple orgasms...a great trade off... Give it a try for a month unless side effects are unbearable.but keep in mind such posts and blogs usually attract folks who have issues rather than those who dont"


"My 14 year old son was prescribed epiduo for his moderate acne about 3 months ago. I myself am 36 and have suffered from acne my whole life (since the 5th grade!!) anyways, I decided to try it with him and I'm so glad I did. At first it made both of our skin break out and was red, itchy, peeling  and irritated. So we started using every other night instead (also, only use at night and AVOID EYE AREA!!)  After about 2-3 weeks of using epiduo I noticed a dramatic improvement in both of our skin. Now my son may have a few tiny little pimples here or there but nothing like it was before and I don't have any at all! Not only am I pimple free but my melasma/dark spots are almost completely gone!! I highly recommend!!"


"I have fibro and stenosis and take cymbalta, flexeril, elavil and a few others. My Dr said I have adjustment disorder and sent me to a psychiatrist. He prescribed 5 mg twice a day and 10 mg at bedtime and it's worked wonders. I'm sleeping 7 to 8 hours a night for the first time in over five years. My mind and body feel relaxed. I'm so thankful that I saw this Dr, this med has been the only thing that's helped me."


"I have had this thing in my arm for almost a week and i feel like a basket case! I am crying all the time and angry about everything. I feel depression creeping on me. I know not everyone has this same experience but be careful! I have been clinging to the Lord this week. I couldn't imagine how things would be if I didnt know myself well enough and I didnt know Jesus. Needless to say this thing is coming out asap. I was going to give it a month but I don't think i can last that long!"


"Worked good for first 3 days.  Then got severe side effects, breathing problems, vomiting, shaking."


"I find Maxalt Wafers amazing. I get a little tightness in my throat but apart from that no side effects and they work within I/2 an hour. In fact it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off me. They are expensive but worth it."


"Was prescribed this medicine as an adjunct to Paxil.  Too many side effects, insomnia, blurry vision, etc. but I did notice that my compulsion to double-check things has almost disappeared."


"The first few weeks adjusting to this medicin3 I wasn't sure if it was for me.....but I stuck with it and glad I did. My anxiety went from on average a rating on a scale from one to ten at an average of 8 down to a 3. Situations that normally would be borderline panic attack are now tolerable and even comfortable. I feel more confident and less anxious. I'm grateful for this medication."


"I had a virus and felt sick for several days yet couldn't bring anything up which made me feel worse, the doctor gave me metoclopramide, the sickness went after a day or two but I had the most awful side effects, I felt all wobbly from head to toe and it was the most uncomfortable feeling ever, I felt uncoordinated like I'd become a puppet and had no control over my limbs, I had a sleepless night and went to see my doctor who prescribed me codeine, that got rid of it but it was such a dreadful feeling if ever I get it again I'll just stick to sucking mints and taking alka seltzer."


"I started taking Sprintec about 3 weeks ago and my appetite has also gone down - which is a good thing. But the biggest side effect I've noticed for myself is that my breasts are very sore.  I was starting to trip out because that was one of my signs of pregnancy with my two children - but after reading the reviews I see that this is happening to other women as well.  I guess I'll know for sure next week whether I get my period or not. I haven't had any breakthrough bleeding or anything like that or cramping. I am prone to yeast infections but haven't gotten one so far.  I hope this doesn't make it worse for me on that issue, like I've read it's done for a lot of other women."


"What is all the fuss about? Does it taste great? No. But it's seriously not bad at all. I used a straw and drank it right down. It started working within 5 minutes. I am now about 45 minutes into the prep and I am already passing clear liquid. No cramps, no headache. I was all worried about nothing."


"Lescol lowered my LDL cholesterol from 270 to 101, but my HDL remains at only 36. I am a 63 year old male . My doctor recently prescribed Simcor, a combination of Zocor and Niacin 500/20 , to try and raise the HDL. During tests over the last 8 years on Lescol my HDL has been anywhere from the present 36 to 40. My liver enzymes have been slightly high, but evidently not enough to concern my doctor. I have no muscle pain or weakness, but am also on blood pressure medicines, which make me feel tired and lethargic. Since I have depleted the types of BP medicines, I assume I will just have to live with it. Exercise helps this tiredness, but a bad back and nerves in my lower back and hip prevent much exercise."


"I went to the doctor to see what type of medication I could get on to clear up my acne (mostly around my mouth and little dots on my forehead). My doctor recommended using Epiduo and it has changed my life both. My zits were painful and I felt like I couldn't talk to anyone because all they would see is my acne. The first week, my skin took some getting used to. It was very dry in the places where I applied it and would crack since it was around my mouth. It also stung and was irrating for the first 4 days. After that, I couldn't feel anything and I could see a MAJOR difference in my skin. I'm so happy I tried this and recommend it for anyone who is struggling like I was."


"Had absolutely no effect on controlling pain even after Surgeon included Valium and increasing Dilaudid doseage."


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


"I do not review drugs, clothing, or other various items whatsoever. However, looking at these reviews I became more sane, so I hope I can give that to the person who is stumbling across success stories for plan b. The day of Valentine's Day I had unprotected sex, twice. The next morning- hungover and regretful, I bought and consumed plan b 13 hours later. I started going insane, even to the point I looking at abortion options. Spoiler alert: I just got my period this morning. Let this pill do the work it's suppose to. I know you are stressed but sitting there stressed might alter the timing of your period. Symptoms very within each person. I had very tender breasts and my cramps intensified during my period. I hope this eases some stress"


"I am 18 years old and my dermatologist prescribed Trinessa for acne, I have taken it for 3 months. I have experienced pretty much every side effect on the list. I feel nauseous for every day on the first week of the pack and on most other days too! I have only gained a few pounds because of the extreme increase in appetite, but I've lost the weight since. My breasts have grown a whole cup size even though I was already a D. And my breasts are always sore to the touch. I have occasional mood swings that make me very sad at times. On the bright side, my acne has gotten significantly better and my hair is shiny and grows really fast! Also my insurance completely covers it, it is literally $0! That's a plus as well!"


"I have been using ProAir HFA for many years now & I highly recommend it. It works when I need it & I don't have any bad side effects. Sometimes I get dry mouth after using it, but I can't complain since it does its job so well."


"Still take metformin but I've been on Victoza about 5 weeks and lost 15lbs. My appetite is gone. "


"I took one dose of this medications yesterday morning and I was so sick I spent the rest of the day in bed or hanging over the commode! I was nauseous and dizzy, and the effects lasted ALL damn day. Even today I am still a bit nauseous and light headed. I don't care if it works or not, the side effects for me make it a NO GO!"


"I have ibs w/ constipation. been taking the 145 mg for about 3-4 months. The first two weeks I was on linzess, it didn't help me at all. So my doctor told me to take double dose.(found out i had a blockage, which the double dose with miralax on top got rid of) I got diarrhea for about a week, then went to have 1 regular bowel movement almost every morning after the pill. I was feeling better than ever. It did give me headaches, and distension though for about a week. After about 2 weeks on double dose, I went back down to a single dose. Everything was still going smoothly. Until about 2 weeks ago I've been getting urgent diarrhea everyday for about 6 hours after taking the pill. And ocassionally getting stomach pain and nausea again (which is why I started)"


"life saver at first made me feel tired but now i have energy and more out going"


"Terrible drug.  Was so nauseated every day for 6 weeks until switched to zoloft or prozac."


"I had my mirena inserted on July 20th, 2015 and since I haven't had any kids (I'm 18) and wow it was painful. The whole procedure was very quick! I waited longer in the waiting room. The first and second day were horrible, I couldn't do much because of the pain even after I took strong pain killers. After a few days I still had pain but not as much but oh my goodness my first period with it inserted was the worst, really bad cramping and I bled for like 3 weeks. Now after having it for 4 months I occasionally get some random cramps and some times some mild cramps after sex but my period is super light now and I like that part. I am debating whether to get it removed because I have gained weight and my sex drive is just so low now."


"As soon as this drug started working, I stayed in one constant mood of irritable-anxiety. I was a horrible person to be around and cried every single day. I was having hormone problems and this drug made my life go from bad to worse. I would never pollute my body with garbage like this again. Be careful, girls!"


"Currently on my 6th day of the treatment and its the worst!! Bloating, nausea and diarrhea... can't wait until this nightmare ends. I have not been able to work for 5 days already due to this medication. Once you start the treatment you can't stop it. For the diarrhea I was told I can not take any imodium which is worst. Good luck people. Hope we all can survive this nightmare and move on..."


"Note to self: read reviews before inserting any medication into lady parts to stop yourself from experiencing horrible, terrible, ball of fury pain in lady parts.
Literally the one time I do not look up reviews on something before using a product and my lady bits may have actual fire coming out of it."


"Works wonders for my husbands migraines, does nothing for mine.  Mine seem to be immune to just about everything we've tried so far though."


"I'm 39 and I started last summer 2015. I wasn't consistent and expected the pill to do all the work. I would hit and miss and so my weight because stagnant. Since the medicine is so expensive I took myself off of them and did a restart when I got VERY serious. I started exercising and eating right. Didn't follow the recommended caloric intake but I switch my diet big time. I love alcohol (wine) with dinner, salty snacks, and carbs. Since I've gotten serious those cravings have diminished to zero. I'm more energetic and motivated to work out and my mood is A-1. Starting weight was 234 and now I'm down to 230 in just a few days. Not a whole lot but promising. Great product!  I recommend it."


"These stimulants are very useful for depression in my case. I feel motivated to tackle life with all of the strength I can fearlessly muster....that is until the effect diminish after only 5 hours. XR = 8-12 hours? No way. Even cutting back on acidic foods which supposedly inhibit the absorption of the drug, and eating tons of vegetables and protein while staying completely hydrated doesn't extend the effectiveness of the drug. So typically right after lunch time, I feel like curling up into a ball in a dark corner and crying about how much of a failure I am. Yeah, really useful when most of my work takes place in the PM. Even just taking another pill right before the comedown doesn't help. Well, the right drug will reveal itself in time."


"While I was pregnant my psoriasis freaked out. It went all over my body. I could see a difference every day until it was gone. One of the only medicines that didn't set my skin on fire."


"I am having a good experience with this-been on it for  apx 2 months and it very nice to have some energy.I dont know how it does it but it helps with the pain also,doesnt make it go away but makes it not as annoying.I can actually have a life now."


"Roughly two years ago I weighed 120; gained roughly 100 poubds due to being lazy and eating when I was bored or stressed out. My doctor prescribed me phentermine 27.5 to take daily: HORRIBLE side effects like dry mouth, sick to my stomach, and  insomnia throughout the whole time. lost alot of weight but guess what? I regained it in a quick period. My doctor prescribed me Belviq because unlike phentermine belviq is for LONG TERM weight loss. Im about 4 days in without exercise and I havent weighed myself (i will next week i started at 214lb) & I can say my cravings are gone and the anount i eat is smaller.

All these people that are complaining want instant results which thats not what belviq is for."


"Used pain medicines for 14 years (fentanyl 40 mcg and lortab 10mg). Excellent results after using Suboxone."


"Prednisone is a great medication but be careful with it. Don't take it long periods of time. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and my doctors had me on prednisone for two years. In that time I started taking Humira which I had no more inflammation in my blood. My hips and shoulder still hurt even though I had no inflammation, my Dr. Said keep taking prednisone we'll taper it off slow. My doctor and I assumed this pain was normal arthritic pain and he never did X-rays. The pain in my hips got worse and worse. I went to the emergency room where they did X-rays, I found out I had end stage osteonecrosis (bone death) and had to have both my hips replaced 3 weeks later (second hip 6 weeks after the first)."


"good results"


"I started taking harvoni on 12-10-16 , on 12-21-23 I had my first labs , on 1--6-17 I had my 1st dr. visit since starting harvoni at that dr. visit I was told my viral load went from 2,000,000 down to 18 I was told a viral load of 15 is fantastic I was 3 points higher than the optimum virol load.I will say this taking harvoni hasn't  been a cake walk but harvoni is worth taking even though its some getting use to some of the side effects , one more thing I feel blessed after hearing about all the hardship people are going through to get the drug for me its free I'm a veteran and the VA has a program for qaulifying vets to get it free. Praise God , God bless you all. Hang tuff!! Still have 8 weeks to go, 61 yrs old"


"I seriously recommend this product to anyone who is looking to treat their excessive sweating condition. I used to have a serious problem with my hands, they would sweat to a point where they would almost dripped. Hypercare has helped me so much and is pretty cheap. It took about 2 weeks for me to start seeing the effects, trust me follow through applying this on every night for at least 3 weeks before stopping. I almost stopped within the first because I thought it wasn't going to work on me. I didn't give up hope though and continued. Soon enough I began to see miraculous changes my hands would sweat less and less everyday to the point where they are now always dry. If your skins starts to peel its normal just don't peel it off. I recommend."


"I'm 19 years old and I've had anxiety since I was a kid. When my family would sing happy birthday to me, I would have a panic attack and cry. I cried every day my kindergarden year. My anxiety got worse over the years but my parents are those types that don't believe in medication and mental disorders. This year, since being an adult and being able to make my own decisions, I decided to see a therapist. They started me out on 5mg lexapro. The first month was like heaven. I could hold conversations with strangers, go to restaurants and not have a panic attack trying to order food, and so on. After that first month the medicine just stopped working. I was tired and sick all the time and it made me have horrible bursts of anger. Don't take this!!"


"I used the Mirena as a contraception and as a way to control my uterine bleeding. Was an effective contraception however it did have intolerable side effects. On a positive note I was less mood swingy and weight loss. On the more negative side I felt gradually mildly depressed had a severely reduced energy.  Six weeks after I had the coil inserted I began to have upper back pain, muscle tension which got increasingly worse.  I was getting by by popping pain killers and attending physio, nothing helped. I finally realised I only ever had a bad back since the coil and muscle tension and bad back are listed as side effects, after 7 months I had it removed within 4 weeks my back pan had gone, I felt so relieved. Never again. I have my energy back as well."


"I love Prozac. It really helped with keeping me relaxed and in a decent mood and severely lessened my need to feed the OCD. For some reason my doctor recommended that I should try Zoloft instead. For the first two weeks on Zoloft I had diarrhea and now after six months on it I am starting to have moderate to severe pain in my legs. My leg muscles always feel as if they need a good stretch."
