"As most other users comment I call Clobex Spray my wonder drug, at its worst my eczema results in the skin on my hands / fingers covered in open weeping sores so that I have to wear cotton gloves constantly. Clobex Spray clears this condition in 2 or 3 days. But the main point of my review, last time I bought Clobex it cost me $600 a bottle, this means I could rarely afford to use it. I went to a different dermatologist, he prescribed Clobex for supply through a specific mail order pharmacy, the cost with no insurance coverage, was $50! I don't imagine I can name the pharmacy here, but PLEASE if this stuff works for you, get your dermatologist to do his job to find you a pharmacy where you can actually afford to buy it."


"I have really bad swollen tonsils for some reason my left side seems to be more swollen and hurt more causing my left ear to hurt as well can barely eat or open my mouth from being in pain every morning I wake up the pain is worst SMH. I went to urgent care Monday and was prescribed azthromycin 250mg for 5 days by 3rd day I was back at urgent care worst doctor told me stop taking it and put me on prednisone 10mg for 7 days and clarithromycin 500mg for 10 days so this is day 5 for me and although right side of tonsils is ok now left side feels worst I can’t take the pain been having to take Motrin as well just to get rest. Is there anyone that can recommend something to help the swelling go down and pain??"


"I have been on Contrave full dosage for 2 months and I have lost 20lbs. I am not binging and my appetite is under control. It seems to have changed HOW I eat and WHAT I eat.  I previously bolted my food down and drank in gulps, I now take small bites and chew my food, it is as if my body cannot handle the scarfing. I am able to drive past fast food restaurants without wanting to stop and binge. I am typically no longer hungry at night. I am also trying to help the medicine by exercising and not fighting it by attempting to continue down the road I was on before. It has also helped my mood, I seem to have more energy and no longer feel the need for naps. I hope it continues to prove successful."


"Implanon rocks! I've had it for a couple months now. I love having no period and I love 3 years of it. The insertion was easy and painless. I've had no weight gain due to it but I've had some back aches, some migraines, and 2 really bad mood swings. It can be expected that this will happen when switching birth control especially when going from and estrogen based pill to a progestin base stick in the arm. But really my side effects aren't as bad as the pill and I don't have to worry about forgetting."


"I am aged 39 and since 2 months or so I started to lose erection during sex with my wife and she told me to get myself checked. I had little depression but I have had worse depression before but never had erection problems. It slowly started to get worse and then in time it  wouldn't even get a little stiff.  Luckily, my friend happens to be a Doctor and he gave me a sample blister with 4 pills. He advised me to take 20mg but I went against his advise and took half pill (10mg) and got an erection after 20 min just sitting watching TV. Had a long sex and still want to go again. Very little eyes flashing and nasal congestion feeling. It is worth it guys!"


"Worked like a champ, dropping me to very near normal bp.  Have been tolerating near 150/95+ with other meds for a while.     Other bp meds also gave me muscle cramps and graying out when doing high intensity exercise.   I could also swear my heart rhythm is smoother on Spiro somehow, I'm sensitive to the way it moves, but of course that's very subjective.

side effects... well, it will drop your Testosterone level which you may or may not find annoying.  If you'd find a bit of gyno unacceptable, you may need to find something else."


"Female, 46yrs, depression for ~10yrs. I went on Trintellix 10mg at the end of January and from the very first day, I've been dizzy and nauseous. Yesterday, the nausea was at its worst. I also take Vyvanse 50mg for ADD and hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg for high blood pressure plus another BP med. Shortly after going on Trintellix, I started to develop bruising on my upper thighs as well as itching. I think as I scratch, I end up bruising and it looks awful. I contacted my doc and am still waiting for a reply. Hopefully, I'll be taken off of it and will go back to Cipralex and Wellbutrin even though my libido has improved somewhat. At least I'm not crying at the drop of a dime as happens when I don't take any meds at all. Good luck everyone!"


"Hey guys I just got my skyla put in yesterday, and im here to tell you DONT LET THE INTERNET SCARE YOU AWAY FROM GETTING AN IUD. I have major anxiety and was so scared to get it after reading mixed stories on how it feels and how some people get lidocane for numbing down there because it can be painful. Well let me just tell you.. it was a breeze .. seriously. It was a little more uncomfortable than a pap because they clamp your cervix, it feels like pressure. They reccomend 800 mg ibprofen before i took 1 vicodin because my anxiety is so bad I felt i needed something stronger and I happen to have some in my medicine cabinet... and literally felt nothing but a little pressure. No pinch. No pain. I 100% recommend."


"This is my third time over the past 10 years doing this treatment.  I'm scheduled for 4-6 weeks treating my legs, stomach and chest areas.  I like that the medication seeks out and treats damaged skin only.  My stomach has only 3 small spots.  However my legs and chest area that have been far more exposed to sun have a much more aggressive reaction. The pain, redness, swelling and sores are extremely painful however my history reminds me that in 3-4 weeks I will be finished and my skin will look and be much better.  Skin cancer gone and baby smooth new skin. It's affordable, and a more complete overall treatment that definitely works.  Stick with the plan you don't be disappointed !!"


"I'm not sure.  At first I thought it was okay because I had more energy.  I only took it for 3 days.  I slept more because I still had taken trazodone.  By the third day I was dizzy and nauseated.  I stopped taking it, but now I wonder if I should give it a try.  I had a sinus infection and maybe that was/is the dizziness problem.  I was hoping it would work."


"I developed severe cystic acne and nothing would work i tried creams, wash, antiobiotics and they would work but as soon as i stopped it would come back so my dermatologist decided to put me on Isotetrinoin. I was very hesitant about it because the side effects. But the results were worth it. A lot of people compliment my face. I did have my lips dry all the time but tolerable because i would use aquaphor all the time to keep them moist. Use sunscreen and moisturizer protect yourself from sun. I also would get really bad pain in my back specially during the first months and bad headaches too. I took this for five months and I've been off the medication three months and my face looks great my face used to be very oily but not anymore."


"Horrible, waste of money!!! It did not work, my Dr says its trash!!!"


"Insertion was painful and I was down for the count for a few days after.  For the following 6 months I had the heaviest periods I have ever experienced & the worst cramps. So bad I couldn't get out of bed some days.  The cramps and the heavy flow have slowly gotten better since then.  Its been almost 2 years now."


"I am a type II diabetic and obese.  After taking Belviq for about 7 months, I've lost 15% of my weight and I am no longer need to be on insulin. I sleep better too! Thank you Arena Pharmaceuticals and Eisai for this life changing medicine!"


"As we know not all birth controls work for all people the same. This being said, for me Yaz was the worst birth control. I experienced frequent bleeding, very decreased sex drive, dryness,and severe migraines. Happy to say after 5 months I have switched off of it. The only good thing was it was very effective if used only for birth control. Wish me luck with the next one."


"I have had migraines for over 20 years. They were always debilitating and would last for days. I would literally pull my hair to relieve some of the pain. I went to all kinds of doctors to find out the cause, none took me seriously. Finally one doctor did and prescribed Maxalt as needed. She is my hero! When I feel a migraine coming on, I let a Maxalt melt in my mouth and in a few minutes, the migraine is forgotten. I have not had ANY side effects!"


"Consider another drug. Clindamycin has ruined my gut. I have had diarrhea for over a month (tested for c. diff: negative).  The only thing I can eat is peeled white boiled potatoes. Everything else goes through me in just a few hours.  I've lost a lot of weight and I'm permanently tired. My doctor has run all manner of tests and I am just not recovering.  I was a healthy 70kg 31 year old male. Now 62kg one month later.

I can't remember being so ill."


"I noticed joint aches with this medication (and also from concommitant Femara, an anti-estrogen drug).  Taking Glucosamin/Condroitin (1000/600 per day) solved the problem.  When I stop the G/C, the aches come back.  The only downside to this medicine for me is forgetting to take it once per week - or accidentally ingesting food beforehand, so I couldn't take it that day."


"I am a 34 y/o female in the Army with post traumatic stress disorder and insomnia. I may take it around 9pm and wont fall asleep until 1 or 2 am. I will remain sleep but it makes me hungry. I have been observed eating while sleep."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Not bad at all. I really worked myself up with worry over taking a new prep for my 2 colonoscopy. The taste was not wonderful (I gag very easily) but I was able to finish the product. I ate very light for two days before my 'prep day' which I believe really helped the clean out process go much faster. Started my first dose at 6 pm and I was on and off the potty until about 9:30 or so. Second dose started earlier about 6:00 am the day of procedure and I finished at about 11:30. My appt was schedule if 1:30 but I was told to arrive an he earlier. Had no cramping or any side affects during the preparation time. By far this was the easiest preparation for my colonoscopy."


"I am a statin Intolerant  patient who was initially excited to try this new drug. Was easy to administer and seemed to be working with little side effects (minor cough and cold symptoms).  Total Cholesterol went from 203 to 98 after just two months. As I continued to use the drug developed severe shortness of breath and heart palpitations. Sadly apparently I can't tolerate this drug either.  After further research, there is little research on long term side effects. My pharmacist told me that patients are reporting my same symptoms and even memory loss.  Not the drug for me."


"Skin rash!!!! Omg!  Apparently I'm one of the rare people that is allergic and I couldn't figure out why my face felt as though I've been standing in front of a 500 degree oven!!!  Plus the tarter build up on my teeth!  I just paid $300.00 cash to have my teeth deep cleaned and now I have all this extra tarter build-up.  Wow I am not a happy camper this stuff sucks"


"I find Tramadol to be extremely effective for my chronic low to medium grade pain.  I have chronic pain in my back and ankles and shoulder due to osteoarthritis.

For me the big advantage with Tramadol, esp. the low 37.5 mg with acetaminophen dose is I don't feel slowed down at all.  I use it  PRN for days when I'm playing tennis or have work or extended walking to do.

Now I sometimes take another 37 mg after exercise.  I have used 100 mg time release and 200 mg time release for special times like high demand days for travel or moving, etc."


"I have been on this birth control for about 2 to 3 months. I have TERRIBLE menstrual cramps, acne did clear up. Heavy bleeding during period but no breakthrough bleeding. Not pregnant! VERY MOODY and Cry over sad songs and sad commercials. I'm going back to the doctor in a few weeks and changing."


"the first night I had a severe headache and very bad nightmares. I even googled if this was a side effect and I saw it was."


"I'm in my early 30's and I have been suffering from hemorrhoids for 3 years now.  I have had multiple flares with a few visits to the ER. I have used few hemorrhoid medications and nothing has helped as much as Proctofoam. I feel the pressure go down, itchiness and size of the veins shrink within minutes. I highly recommend it. Thumbs up."


"I take TRAMADOL 200mg per day for lower back pain. It does nothing to help the pain I am in. It does not even still a headache. If it such a great painkiller, why can't still a headache as well as lower back"


"I was very unhappy on this drug. My pain was not reduced as it should have been. I spotted for the entire 6 months I was on it. I was extremely depressed, had no libido whatsoever and gained 20 pounds. This did not work well for me for this condition at all. Unfortunately once it is in your system you are stuck with it. It took a full year for my body to readjust once I was off it and to stop spotting. It was also hard to lose that weight afterwards."


"Baclofen has lessened the spasms and pain of my Cervical Dystonia.  It does have side effects, but they are tolerable considering the relief I get."


"The drug did work for me. I have psoriasis, and it was just getting better, but after taking Tamiflu it has really flared it up again. It has gone very dry and scaly again."


"Six weeks after I had my baby girl I had the liletta inserted (02/01/2016). The insertion was no more painful than a Pap smear or vaginal exam. I'm loving it so far, experienced some cramping the 1 st day but not since then. Now I gave this a 9 because I started bleeding on the 7th day post insertion after having sex the 4th day and I'm still bleeding today 02/18 with no signs of slowing down and it's annoying me. I keep getting spotting on n off since insertion but I'd take that over the bleeds."


"Great for colds."


"I have only had Implanon since December 6th.  At first, I was super excited because I would not have to worry about birth control, I could have a stress free sex life with my husband.  Well I began my period that morning before the implant was in.  I figured, 5 days, and I would be okay.  My periods have never been just "light days", but that is how this one was.  But, it lasted for about 2 1/2 weeks.  I spent a lot of time reading reviews and trying to determine if this was normal. After reading, I was convinced to wait it out and see if it would go away before contacting my physician. That was great advice. Right now, I feel great. no other effects at all!"


"I am on Exforge for the past 6 months. I am happy with the results especially after taking Lodoz and didn't see any positive results. However, like many have mentioned in this post, I am also having a dry cough and phlegm which was not there before, plus weight gain at a slow pace. I am a bit concerned about this."


"I was recommended this Birth control method by my Gyno after having an Ovarian Cyst removed. I was taking another kind of pill and it was going horribly. After I started taking these I saw a major difference right away. I had more energy, tolerable periods which decreased over time, more control over my appetite and after stopping my periods and behavior went back to normal right away no drastic changes. The only downside for me was that from time to time I will be nauseous and I did get breast tenderness but overall it was the best one I have tried. All Birth control methods and brands have these similar side effects and different women can experience them differently but for me this was definitely a winner."


"1. Read this forum for suggestions on nausea remedies and prep day diet and to get an idea of the general expeience. Mine closely matched the more positive reviews.

2. Start hydrating. At least 80 oz water/day for several days before prep; I had over 140 oz on prep day itself.

3. Stock your bathroom before starting prep. I had a beverage cooler with water, lemonade, and ginger ale in the bathroom, along with plenty of TP, flushable wipes, ointment, clean clothes, towels, my phone, and some entertainment. You won't be able to leave the bathroom for awhile, 75 min for me.

4. Prepare somewhere to rest close to bathroom. I didn't have any "accidents" but was less anxious about them since I had towels and old blankets on the bed"


"Very effective!  I used over the counter (allergy) eye drops for years.  Elestat took care of the condition with 2 applications!"


"It helped me with all my hallucinations. I stopped hearing things more. I still went through disturbed racing thoughts though. Shakiness still occurs."


"I wrote a review previously after a few days of taking Saxenda. I am now on my 4th week (2.4mg) and so far I have lost 18lbs! I am so happy. This is based on minimal exercise and just eating healthily. As many people have said, it does curb your appetite. I could normally eat a full plate but now by body let's me know when I am "full" and I can literally not eat more than half a plate. Any more than that and I will start to feel sick. I also stay away from fatty foods; again trying to eat this will also make me feel sick afterwards, so I have been on grilled salmon and vegetables most nights for dinner. I get incredibly thirsty so I have a litre water bottle with me everywhere I go. This also helps me feel less hungry."


"I quit with Chantix in December and have not picked up since. I have thought about it, but then I smell smoke and I want to throw up. I smoked for almost 40 years."


"MUCH BETTER than Adderall, Vyvanse, or Dexedrine, or Ritalin.  IT is more effective for performing my scores on tests and learning.  It is better for the social anxiety component of ADHD. It is neurotoxic so you may not want to stay on it for the entire year, however, IT DOES have medical value at low doses if used by RESPONSIBLE users for several months out of the year. IT IS very effective for controlling treatment resistant depression and appetite problems as well. However, appetite would return to baseline when stopping Desoxyn.  I think this medicine should be strictly controlled, but should be available to patients who could truly benefit from it.  It has helped me get through a very difficult year, but my doctor took me off it. "


"I have had trouble staying asleep for several years. No problems falling asleep, but most nights I wake up around 3 or 4AM (five hours into my sleep) and from that point forward I sleep fitfully. I tried Silenor (actually generic Doxepin) for about three weeks. It seemed to help a bit for the first few days, but after a few weeks I noticed no improvement beyond no medication. First few days I experienced about a 1-2 low grade hang-over. The most notable part of the experience was the very vivid dreams I had. They were not nightmares, but they tended to be disturbing and about mundane aspects of life. Things like being late for appointments, dealing with unwanted guests, arguments with friends, etc."


"I started May 26th and at my one month weigh in I had already lost 20 lbs and that is with no real exercise. I will weigh in again in less than 2 weeks but I know I have lost an additional 10 lbs. I have had none of the side effects. I love the idea of not wanting to eat. I love this medication. I still have 100 lbs to go but if everyone is right on how this drug works I should be there by February."


"Started and have stayed on the very lowest mg. of Rexulti.( for roughly four months) Almost immediately I felt so much better, and as the days went on, I felt "alive" again. Did have an issue with hot flashes, but it didn't last long. My Pdoc is trying to see if I can get a reduction on the cost of this med. Hope he can, because if not, I have no other med that works for me, and it's back to doomsville again. I have D.I.D., PTSD; anxiety, and panic disorder. This drug really keeps me focused, and on an even emotional keel. Very pleased."


"Although the insertion was excruciatingly painful (Keep in mind I have a super sensitive cervix i.e even pap smears are uncomfortable) I loved my Mirena and I had it in for 3 years. After the first 6 months I didn't have my period at all, at first that made me nervous and I thought I was pregnant (I wasn't) but after I got used to it, not having a period was amazing. The only reason I had to take it out is because I have never had kids so my Mirena slipped out of place and was causing some mild discomfort. Overall I loved it and if I wasn't so traumatized from the first insertion I would get it again!"


"I start taking Complera one month ago. My virus was 1142 in my blood and my T cells was 430 units. At the first week of taking Complera I had side effect but not serious like - diarrhea, I could not sleep good, I feel dizzy, headache, I lost appetite. And the most important I make a lot of gas but after a month I visit my doctor to check if the Complera is working to me and the result was amazing. The doctor explain to me that the virus in my body in now under 12 (undetectable) and the T cells are up to 660. I'm taking Complera everyday between 8 to 10 pm, after dinner."


"I started this medication a month ago. The first few days the side effects were pretty bad so I stayed in bed. It was mostly nausea, dizziness, extreme fatigue & then insomnia...after a few days almost all of those subsided except for the fatigue and insomnia. Now its been about a month and I mostly just suffer from some brain fog and some fatigue, not nearly as bad,  but my appetite is basically gone. I really dont even enjoy food that much anymore & sometimes skip a meal or have to force myself to eat where as before I couldn't stop eating, i have a horrible food addiction.so this has really helped. I lost about 20 lbs my first month. Very happy with this medication and I feel it has saved my life as I am pre diabetic"


"I just had my Mirena inserted a week ago. I am 40 and do not have children. I must say I am having crazy moods. I am hopeful after reading comments that this will pass. Thanks to all who posted."


"I have recently been diagnosed BP 2.  I spent years being depressed with one suicide attempt.  I had been taking fluoxetine for 10+ years.  When I finally went to a psychiatrist he took put me on Latuda and Lamictal.  What a difference!   My primary care asked me to go off the Latuda for a few days and I definitely noticed a difference for the worse.  Latuda and Lamictal have saved my life, I am much more productive, motivated and happy."


"I'm 26 and have been taking this for about 5 years. I didn't experience side effects Besides some light spotting at first. I gained about 8 lbs in the first 6 months but I dont know if they're related. It did increase my cup size though. I barely get a period anymore and it's very light. If anything, this has worked so well that i'm afraid to try any other forms of birth control. This drug is actually prescribed to treat acne so i'm surprised to see a review saying it caused it. I get maybe 3 or 4 pimples a year and my skin is clear besides some mild oily tzone/chin. I didn't give this a full 10 because it is annoying to have to remember to take it at the same time every day. I definitely recommed this pill."


"I am 32, and as a child I was incredibly active.  Around the age of 20 I started showing signs of AS, and was constantly in and out of the Drs, begging to be looked at- they shrugged me off as making it up, fibromyalgia, endometriosis, diabetes- it wasn't until at 25 I was completely incapable of turning my head & had trouble walking that someone took me serious.  A specialist discovered I had AS.  I only started Humira in Dec of 2015, a 40mg dose every 14 days.  The morning after I woke up and just lay there in shock- I hadn't felt like this since I was just a kid.  I sat up in bed and just sobbed.  I am so thankful for Humira every single day.  I walk everywhere, I can skip up the steps- my neck may be permanently frozen, but I am hopeful"


"The first two-three weeks were fine.   Then I started experiencing a bad headache, the next two days fever and chills.    The next evening, severe chills, weakness, dizziness, raging fever (up to 104.3) and began throwing up.    It was the worst I've ever felt in my life (and that includes a hospitalization in ICU when first diagnosed).    I was on the verge of calling 911.   However, it eventually passed (as the medicine worked its way out of my system) and the fever subsided.   My Rheumatologist ran a complete series of blood work and she said that I had an allergic reaction.   Prior to starting Imuran, I had been tested for liver compatibility and the results showed that I would have no issues so I proceeded.  Proceed w/extreme caution."


"I have been on Depakote for a very long time. I have not had any seizures in over 12 years now. I am also a border line manic-depressed. I am using it for that too plus Keppra they are both helping me in my two areas. I have not had any feeling of trying to kill myself or hurt myself in any way. Like I said before I had not had any seizures in over 20 years now. I do have to say this about Depakote that it does make you gain weight. I went from 250 to over 320. My doctor switched me over to levetiracetam 500mg (generic form of Keppra), and Lamotrigine 100 mg. Since I have been on these two medications for about 4 years now I have lost about 55 pounds in almost 2 years."


"I had been prescribed to suboxone for about 1 year. I heard about zubsolv at my doctors office and found out it was much cheaper than suboxone. My doctor wrote me a per scription for zubsolv( 5.7 ). I stayed on zubsolv for about 1 month. It tastes nasty but will dissolve in about 5 minutes. Zubsolv didn't even compare to suboxone, it actually made me feel horrible."


"After 4 years of painful periods my Paraguard embedded and perforated my uterus. I went to my doctor after experiencing bleeding for over a week. I was shocked to learn I was pregnant, and had to have a D&C to save my life. The Paraguard caused internal scarring and possible infertility. This was the worst experience of my life and I warn everyone to avoid this birth control method. It is ineffective and can turn life threatening. I share my personal experience to inform others of the risks, which were not fully shared with me."


"Helped with crohns but gave me acne and increased tinnitus"


"This will be my 3rd day on Victoza and I am feeling well.  I also take Metformin for Type II diabetes.  I was just diagnosed with diabetes about 3 months ago and my blood sugar is just over the line into being diabetic so I am hoping that if I can get some weight off, I will either get the diabetes to go away or at least, allow it to be well under control.  I'll try to remember to report in in a few weeks but so far, so good."


"Every year around mountain cider time, one of my eye's starts to water, tears are running down my face and it's really imbarassing at times. But Advil put a stop to that. Its truely God sent."


"I talked to my Dr about my struggle of dieting and exercising alone not helping me lose a pound! So he prescribed me a month and a half only 45 pills of Phentermine 37.5 the first day I was so dumb to not read the label but only the papers from the pharmacy that said to take one in the morning and another later that day so I took 2 that day and I did NoT sleep that whole day night till the very next night at around 3am and woke up @ 7 couldn't go back to sleep. The 2nd day I did take only 1 and I'm good now! Lost 5lbs the first 5days."


"The best anti depressant I have tried. Have also used citalopram, fluoxetine and mirtazapine but this is the best! Least side affects, feeling happy and normal again and still have energy! Love it."


"Have had migraine for 33 years.  Experienced first one after giving birth for the first time.  Migraines are very severe and symptoms include non stop vomiting, lack of balance, loss of sensation, sensitivity to light, sound, etc.  Rizatriptan works for a migraine attack which is not so severe.  It has to be taken immediately.  I usually lie down quietly for 20 minutes after taking it and then it works.  It does not completely get rid of the headache, but suppresses it.  This allows you to get on with your day.  It makes me very tired, and makes my body feel heavy.  Reactions are sometimes slower, so don't drive.  If it does not work within 20-30 minutes, then it won't.  "


"I don't normally review medications but Viibryd is my savior! I am 21 years old with terrible anxiety and depression. I tried a medication I can't recall before Viibryd two years ago and was pretty unstable but upon being put on Viibryd I felt I could be a normal person again. Over this past summer, I was taken off of it due to insurance issues and let me warn you, even forgetting to take it, within an hour past 24 hours since ingestion I start to itch and feel overall sluggish. That is just the beginning, the further symptoms of withdrawal I faced were very vivid dreams and intense thoughts of suicide. Works great when I'm on it, but the withdrawals can be harsh."


"This worked great on my TMJ spasms!"


"I commend everyone on here for wanting to change their lives from the misery of opiate addiction or just plain addiction. I think Subutex and Suboxone are great when you detox off other heavy opiates, or using them for maintenance for a short period of time- no longer than 5-6 months. Because this is a very powerful medicine too, I am saying this because I want everybody to know that this medication will take away all your dope sickness and then when your done with the subs your good with no withdrawl from that. That is certainly not the case. More evidence is coming out when on subs 4 over 1/ 1 and half years It is much harder to get off these drugs than your d.o.c. But they do help you break that vicious addicition cycle. Gd luck 2 u all."


"I have COPD. I can't use a nebulizer with albuterol because I get severe headaches from it. I have tried five different prescribed inhalers but none worked as well as Primatene. I have used Spiriva and Advair and neither work half as well as Primatene. I sure hope they come out with a new Primatene."


"Last summer I was placed on Xarelto after a dermatologist botched my laser leg vein surgery and caused a DVT.  I am an otherwise healthy 50 year old woman.  I did not want to go on Coumadin as I am familiar with the side effects and monitoring required.  I was sick on Xarelto the entire time, and the minute that I stopped it, most of the side effects went away.  It took about two weeks for all side effects to subside.  Side effects included migraine headaches (first time in my life), sharp pins and needles pain in hands and fingers, swollen joints especially finger joints, muscle cramps-especially legs and toes etc."


"I started these pills because of a very irregular period, and once I started all my periods became regular and shorter.  This pill cleared up my acne, as well.  The second month taking it however I would feel nauseous, but it went away, and it also weirdly increased my sex drive.  I did gain a little bit of weight in my stomach and my boobs grew 2 cup sizes larger. Overall this pill works for me and helped with my period and I would recommend it, although it works differently for everyone."


"I have developed allergies (pollen?) in the last 2 years.  Go figure, I'm in my 50s.  My eyes get itchy and red and watery, and I scratch my eyelids and eyes so much.  This irritates them and the eyelid gets raw.  I finally tried Flonase from a doctor.   I got jittery and anxious.  After a few day, the roof of my mouth got raw and sore and painful.  I did not rinse my mouth every time after use.  Maybe I should have. It was destroying my skin on roof of mouth.   I will never use Flonase again, I threw it away,"


"Flomax definitely worked for me. I just passed a series of six (6) 5mm kidney stones while using the bathroom. This was the third day (thus third dose) I had taken. In the past it's taken me weeks to pass just one 5mm stone. Side effects I experienced were a bit of muscle cramps/tensions in my legs and a numb feeling on the tip of my tongue. Not sure if that was the Flomax, the Oxy, or the Naproxen, or the large amounts of citrus fruits I ate/drank (lemon water and oranges) in an attempt to dissolve the stones. Either way Flomax helped me within 3 days. I am healed, thank God. Also just for reference I am a healthy (although overweight) 22y/o female and the stones were my only medical issue."


"I've been severely depressed for 10 years inc 2 hospital stays. My psychiatrist is excellent and suggested brintillex After I've been on cymbalta for 2 years. Already so much less sleepy, more prone to complete tasks, not moping around all day and I have hope. Only one side effect is skin itching I can't seem to stop it! But other than that very happy. If you've given up on life, the future, any chance of recovery give it a try."


"I started  Linzess 290 after I had surgery for an anal abscess which resulted in an anal fistula.  I was told I had an infected anal gland which could have been caused by blocked stool due to prolonged constipation.  It is very important that I keep from being constipated as this condition could occur again.  I am worried about the explosive diarrhea that happens every morning for about an hour.  I wonder how this constant diarrhea affects the colon.  If I skip a day I do not have a BM but I think I need to give my colon a rest every other day.  Hoping once I have been on Linzess for awhile the diarrhea will subside."


"Sciatica pain"


"On day five of a 10 day course I noticed a rash on my face. Over the next 12 hours it would cover my entire body. It didn't itch it burned!! Doc said benadryl wouldn't help so I needed a steroid shot. I was also very dizzy and tired on this medication. If you have never taken Bactrim and aren't sure if you are allergic to sulfa drugs, I would just take something else."


"I was on Lisinopril for two months. It worked in lowering my blood pressure, but I felt horrible. I was anxious, had mild tight headaches every day, didn't want to go to work, my motor coordination was slightly jerky, I had a dry cough occasionally, my heart beat very hard inside my chest, and I became out of breath just walking short distances. I'm sure this affects everyone differently, but I thought it would do serious damage to my insides, and I kind of like my insides to work properly. I still have slight jerky movements in my arms.  I'm hoping this goes away soon."


"Pros:  Great for depression -- best medicine I've ever taken (I've taken everything), Cons:  Nausea (okay if taken with food), horrible headaches (they went away after a week or so), and a severe rash.  Rash did not appear until 3 weeks after beginning the medication and got much worse when dose increased from 5 to 10mgs.  I see my doc next week.  Sadly I suspect that we will have to discontinue using the medicine because of the rash......."


"I have been on this medication for about a week.  It was prescribed for severe depression (PTSD). I also have severe anxiety attacks that would cause me to have outbursts of anger, nothing physical, but verbal altercations with people.

The first day I took escitaloprom, I felt totally relaxed and with no signs of anger and anxiety.  I do get sleepy, and feel a little lethargic.  I have been on many different drugs for the same reason, and I now ask why was I not prescribed this medication years ago.  Too early to notice any change in weight gain.  I was able to stop taking my anxiety medicine, and reduced my sleep medication by half. A great medication that is helping me recover from years of useless depression and anxiety."


"I have taken Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) for many years, and have found it to be the only OTC medicine that really dries up nasal congestion.  Nowadays, "Sudafed," the brand name, is being sold with other ingredients, because pseudoephedrine can be used for illegal purposes in drug manufacture.  When buying it at the pharmacy counter, one must show ID, so their name can be entered on a registry; a person can't buy frequent or large quantities of the medication.

But if you get the real thing, it really works."


"My 13 yr old son was put on Vyvanse for his ADHD and started at 20mg, 30mg and for the last two weeks has been on 40mg.  He's had the usual not much of an appetite, and of sleeping patterns.  However I've noticed in the last two weeks a drastic behaviour change in him where he is extremely emotional, very anxious, feeling like everyone hates him, depressed and wanting to hurt himself.  His pediatrician advised me to stop this medication .  "


"After suffering from extreme hot flashes, night sweats and overwhelming anxiety, that I really thought was just me and my lot in life, my cousin told me about her Dr. giving her Effexor. I made an appointment and now take 75mg. I am a different person!! Sometimes have to look in the mirror to be sure it is me. It took me years to discover I can feel good!"


"I have had cold sore/fever blisters, my whole life my baby sister also. She would get them on her nose and lip. We both would never have relief from them. In 2006 I show a doctor about some spots on my forehead and at the time I had a nasty cold sore. Doc come in first thing he said is whats on your lip and the nurse had ask me the same thing. This was a dermatologist office, I said it's s fever blaster with a crazy look in my face. He said I can make those go away for good  I said prove it. Well almost 10 years later and I get no more cold sores. If I feel like ones coming up I just pop a one gram pill and it gone. My sister finally got the point a few years back and got prescription for it. She two plus years clean ."


"I have been taking Pylera med for 5 days now first day it made me vomit and nauseous and now I have extremely bad diarrhea and getting hemorrhoids :"(

Is this normal?"


"I started taking Heather shortly after giving birth so that it wouldn't reduce my milk supply and I've been taking it for over a year now. I am still breast-feeding and have not had a period this entire time. I've also noticed that my moods are greatly restrained, meaning I almost never cry (even when I want to, like funerals), but I also don't get overly happy either. I've been losing weight this whole time (still overweight), which may be related to the breast-feeding or not."


"Really works fast and without any side effects.  Seems to clear up persistant and ongoing diarrhea overnight.  Taking the tiny tablets is much better than dealing with liquids."


"Had Herceptin along with Perjeta, Carboplatin & Taxotere for 6 months. HER+ hormone negative stage 3a cancer was believed to have completely resolved from biopsy results after 6 months chemo was over & double mastectomy and 6 lymph glands removed. Currently continuing Herceptin infusions without chemo every 3 weeks & undergoing 6 weeks of radiation to prevent recurrence. Hard to tell what symptoms were from which drug during chemo and now with radiation , but now I have dizziness, occasional shortness of breath and fatigue. Have also experienced nausea, but not with every treatment. I believe this drug saved my life for now & I am grateful. Doctors say my prognosis would've been much worse without this drug."


"This pill is effective in preventing pregnancy and helping with acne. I haven't gained weight but the only problem are the anxiety attacks that I tend to get while on this pill. Other than that, it's a pretty good pill, and I've been taking it every day, at the same minute and I've been protected from pregnancy."


"I've been on the pill for 3 months. It's effective but major Negative side effects. I've been bleeding pretty bad between periods (seems to be worse when I drink coffee for the record). Along with the spotting I've been getting cramps that feel worse than my usual period cramps. I've also been getting headaches MUCH worse than I'm used to that seem to last forever. Periods have been lighter which is a plus but obviously all the blood that should be draining isn't because of all the spotting. It isn't all bad but I'm switching for sure."


"Great for congestive heart failure."


"Was switching from 40mg of Celexa to 100mg of Zoloft.  Felt great first two weeks. Then it was pure hell after that.  I ended up with Serotonin syndrome during the switch. Ok.  Gave the drug a good 8 weeks.  Couldn't sleep.  Was way too activating.  Made me feel trapped in a constant state of anxiety and panic. Zaps in my fingers and toes.  My children at one point asked if I was high because of the way I was acting.  I couldn't even get a coherent thought out.  The last day I took Zoloft I can't even remember I was so out of it.  Not the drug for me.  Those shouldn't persuade you from trying it as many of these meds are hit and miss."


"i had sex with this guy and we used protection. And all of a sudden he asked me if I was on bc and I was like no why and I turned around and saw that he had taken the condom off and was like wtf put it back on. So after to be safe I took a plan b. And a couple days after I got my period wary but it was really light and short. And then three weeks after I started feeling extremely nauseous and just started freaking out and reading a bunch of early pregnancy facts. And I ended up taking an early test and it said negative. Then a week later I took another test and as I was taking the test I got my period.

Ps everyone at work was feeling the same was I was that weekend there was just something spreading around so I freaked out for nothing."


"I've tried everything from Ambien to low doses of anti-depressants to OTC medications, and none have worked as well as Belsomra.

The sleepiness is overwhelming, but it feels completely natural (think of the kind of sleepiness you'd feel as a child after a long day of playing.) It's not a hypnotic like Ambien, so it doesn't get you high. It just makes you really sleepy.

My doctor told me to take it 15 minutes before bed time. I thought it wasn't working at first because I was expecting a quick reaction. Turns out it takes about 1-2 hours to start feeling the effects. I now take it 1-2 hours before bed time and sleep like a baby.

I've heard you can experience sleep paralysis on this drug. I haven't experienced anything negative yet."


"Tried lots of different pills after the one I was on was discontinued and nothing worked for me so I stopped trying for about 3 years. When my doctor suggested the pill for acne I said sure why not. This pill is one of the few I don't have spotting or crazy 3 week periods with. The only downside is that I find my cramps are 10x worse, and I have gained some weight, I've especially seen that my breasts have grown. My acne has been a lot better and my periods are more normal although they do last a bit longer, my mood has also been consistent. Overall, I have had a good experience and happy to have normal, predictable periods."


"I started Clindamycin on March 25 for sinus infection - 150 mg, 3x a day for 21 days. This is the first time I have taken this medication. This past Friday, I thought I was having a heart attack. I knew it was this medicine giving me awful heartburn/chest pain because I could 'taste' the medicine. The heartburn and awful taste are almost unbearable. I will try drinking more water and do probiotics/yogurt. I am thankful that, so far, I have not had any upset stomach or diarrhea. Thanks for the tips."


"I'm not a doctor, but I want everyone who's reading this to know: EVERYONE REACTS DIFFERENTLY TO MEDICINE. Pristiq didn't work for me, unfortunately. I was on the lowest Mg. It didn't do anything when I took it, but man...when I didn't take it...it was like I was having an "out of body experience." It was the weirdest feeling. Not like a "cool" high. It was uncomfortable and annoying. I kept taking it in hopes of it helping my suicidal thoughts, and major anxiety. Now, all antidepressants CAN increase suicidal thoughts. Pristiq definitely increased these bad thoughts. I threw up before work (anxiety) & was always a nervous wreck. I'm off the medicine now. Going back to the doctors to talk about other options. God bless all of you."


"I started taking gabapatin for severe lower back pain. I have scoliosis . At first it worked . I was told I could increase the dosage up to 1200 mgs I'm now up to 800 mgs. Not only did it stop working I read in depth side effects I'm experiencing memory loss , anxiety and depression which I already suffer from. Personally I don't recommend it for back pain. I personally know 4 people that are prescribed it for back pain 2 stopped taking it because it stopped working. Myself and another person are having the same problem. My best advice ask questions and tell your Dr if you have problems with it or it stops working.I have a call into my Dr. I'm very concerned about the side effects I wasn't told about and I'm in constant pain"


"I have taken Paxil on and off my entire adult life. I have always stuck to a low dose at 10MG  a day. I do not have depression, I am just a very sensitive especially in times of high stress, and panic attacks start to take over my life. I had to put my degree on hold, I missed out on vacations with my family, and my professional life suffered as well. Paxil calms my nerves. It keeps me in check so I don't freak out in times of stress. The side effects do exist, but keeping a low dose helps. My libido is affected a bit, I do get dizzy from time to time, and I also have dry mouth. At 10mg a day, once I feel like I am in control again (usually 8 months to a year of being on the medicine) I can stop without any of the bad withdrawals."


"I started using Adipex on 11/7/09. I weighed in at 161lbs. I am going in to the 3rd week and have had an average weight loss of 4 lbs a week. I LOVE this medication. I have always worked out and watched what I ate, but still had problems losing weight. It seems now in the 3rd week that I am not as energetic and the weight is coming off slower. I did have problems sleeping the first few days and dry mouth very bad. The worst side effect for me is acne... I have never had pimples on my face and since I have taken this drug, they are popping up everywhere. I think I will stop when this months supply is gone. I am hoping to lose 20 more lbs, but I don't expect it to all happen right now. I am very satisfied! I haven't been this happy in years!"


"I've been on this inhaler for almost a year now and continue to love it. Before starting Stiolto I was using the Symbicort and Spriva inhalers. Not only does Siolto work better for me but so much cheaper than using two inhalers!"


"It will melt away your tumors quickly, however has quite the delayed effect for nausea and vomiting. Make sure your Oncologist gets you on some supportive meds!"


"I started Copaxone 2 months after being diagnosed.  I was on the medicine for one month and loved the fact I wasn't experiencing any body aches, headaches and felt fine. HOWEVER, the site reactions over the course of the 2 weeks got worse.  I had hot, fiery red colored 5-6 inch welt reactions at sites, that became itchier after the 2nd week of injections. I wanted to cry because I was itching nonstop 24hrs a day. I stopped taking hot/warm showers which helped but I still itched 24hrs a day.  I developed rashes from my neck to my face. I stopped after 1 month. I would have liked to stay on Copaxone but rashes not located at the sites was a concern for the doctor and shared solutions team (the shared solutions team is great by the way!)."


"I absolutely love my nexplanon.
I'm not the best at safe sex and I seem to be the only teen in my town not getting pregnant. I don't have any problems with weight gain or itching or even my periods.
I had my period once since getting the implant and nothing since. The only thing I have to say is sometimes if my boyfriend or dog presses on the implant just right it pinches a little (like the pinch many experience when healing after getting the implant. Other than that my experience with nexplanon has been very pleasant"


"It helped control the crying to where I was able to control it. I also am able to think clearer, not so many confusing moods"


"This medication is a lifesaver.  I was given this medication for neuropathy and fibromyalgia but it has also helped with depression.  I am on 60 mg in the morning.  I had given up on ever getting the fibromyalgia under control."


"This is the only cough medicine that is worth your $$. It really works. I especially like the lozenges when I am working. I've never had any stomach upset either and I have a pretty sensitive one."


"I've been on Bydureon for 3 and 1/2 years. To date I have lost 103 lbs. At times I do get light headed but other than that no side effects. When I first started it I was sick as a dog due to my body adjusting to the medicine/lower blood sugar levels. The nausea sucks sometimes when your eating a delicious meal and can't take another bite without puking it all up. This medicine will definitely tell you when you've had enough to eat. I love it. Feel like I'm in the best shape of my life. 34 and 143 lbs. My doctor took me off the obese list 6 months ago. Stick with it and you'll see the results."


"I am so happy with vyvanse. It has made my life so good, I listen better, I can focus on tasks. I feel even more upbeat about life no serious worrying and has slowed me down to see life better, I am so blessed for this new medicine."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency

"I need to WARN all people out there that this multivitamin can develop depression. I have never diagnosed depression before and 2 days after taking this I developed a terrible "sad/down" mood which I never felt before. I called PFIZER to explain this to them and they told me Centrum has no side effects at all...really?. I did my research and found out about 4K cases were reported on side effects, being one of them major depression. I took it ONLY for 10 days and it was the worst 10 days of my life. I had been thru some bad stages in my life yet never been depressed. The day after I took Centrum I had this horrible feelings of discouragement. I stopped the medication today and hope to go back to normal very soon"


"I had been experiencing sever stomach pain for about a year and a half that included nausea, stomach pain, always bloated, and pressure under my ribcage. Dr perform Urea Breath Test; tested positive for H. Plyri. I completed day 10 yesterday. I was lucky enough not experience any sever side effects. I did experience multiple migraines while on it and I always felt very tired. But just after taking the first full day of it, I definitely felt a difference. Today is my first day without having had taken them and I feel a 100 times better. I actually have an appetite! It's harsh and long and I wanted to give up, but in the end I thought it was worth it. Now to wait 4 weeks before I can get retested to ensure it's gone."


"Male, 52 years old, police officer, 6-0, 200lbs, been taking 20mg of Citalopram for 6 weeks now. I took 10mg for a month, but nothing good occurred. I suffered with moderate depression and anxiety, and am not sure which one came first. Very frustrating. But none the less, it finally seems to be showing a positive effect after about 6 1/2 weeks on the 20mg. Just when you think it's not helping and that it's a waste of time, it kicks in. Hard to explain the feeling, but you just start feeling better. My mind just stopped worrying about crap and I could relax more and have more positive thoughts. Over the last 13 years, I've suffered off and on with this disorder and have taken Benzo's and other anti-depressants. Citalopram seems to help."


"I am a very nervous person and would get very emotional after surgery, but if was given Valium before surgery I would wake up very relaxed."


"This medication has made me extremely tired!  I feel like I've lost all of my motivation.  I am a teacher and a coach and find it extremely hard to get myself "up" to do these things.  I am very tired in the morning and its not until late at night that I start to feel like myself again.  Only in time to take the medication again and start the process over.  It has taken away some anxiety symptoms and helped me sleep (a bit too much) but I feel down a lot because I feel like I lost my passion.  I am slowly coming off of it and look forward to getting back to feeling like myself again.  I empathize with people on this medication."


"I bought this product seven years ago when I would sweat profusely .  I cannot wear T-shirts do to sweat stains .  I only use this product seven years ago once for a whole week and I have not sweat since . One of the best things I've ever tried. Highly recommend."


"Zoloft is amazing. I was put on Lexapro when I was about 18, gained about 20 lbs and felt like a numb zombie for about a year. Tried Celexa for about a year- a little better, but I was still getting very depressed. Then I tried Zoloft (50mg for a month and 100mg since). I've been on it for about 2 years. Depression and anxiety is minimal. I rarely have to use my Xanax. The only side effect I've had is dry mouth but it's minimal at worst. My appetite and sleep patterns are normal. As with the others I've tried, my sex drive is very low and I had moderate headaches for the first couple of weeks, so I won't pick on Zoloft for that.  Overall, extremely satisfied, I can't imagine my life without it."


"Our 11year old son with autism began Abilify mainly to combat fears (thunder, loud sounds, etc.) and to allow him calm down. It helped with that. It also regulated his sleep cycle very nicely. But he has put on a lot of weight. I tried taking him off of it, but the facial hitting (he hits himself) and screaming were really bad. Overall a good, benign medicine."


"The reviews I've seen aren't the most accurate. Of course everyone is different, but this works for me. I was originally on Gildess (same dosage) and LOVED it. Yet, it was discontinued and I was put on Blisovi - which was literally the worst BC I've ever been on. I talked to my pharmacist and was switched to this. If Gildess worked for you, this is the next best thing. Good luck!"


"38 years old. Using for 5 years. Virtually no acne. No weight gain. No pregnancies. Can't imagine using another pill.  Perfect for me."


"I've had skyla for about 4 months now, and so far its worked for me because I've had no problems with it. When I had it inserted I didn't really feel bad pain I only felt a small cramp. After that, I just felt some cramps but nothing I couldn't handle....I love it because I don't have to worry about getting pregnant or taking a pill everyday. I highly recommend it!!!!"


"I started at 199lbs. (Barely at the 30 BMI required to take this medication) After 3 months, I'm down to 175 and still going strong. For my height, I should weigh around 160. I've had problems with weight loss since I hit my 40s plus it's hard for me to workout at times due to arthritis. This medication isn't a cure all but it does help when you are ready for a life change. My insurance does not pay for this yet even with a prior authorization but I'm willing to pay the monthly price."


"My father-in-law was given this medicine after surgery. He began hallucinating and was suspicious of everyone in the hospital room. It took three days for this to be completely out of his system."


"I had a sling a few years ago for stress incontinence (that I have had since I was a kid), but it didn't do anything for the overactive bladder, obviously.  I tried the patch and within 24 hours, there was a huge difference.  However, the patch does not stick well.  The adhesive on the edges of the patch is not good.  While it does not come off, it does crinkle and wrinkle and one was clearly not adhering much at all and I doubt much medicine was delivered, which was why it did not work that day.  The medicine is great, but they need to improve the actual patch."


"I took this after having weaned off of Sinex nose drops due to allergies to pollens. It worked fine, but could not stand the aftertaste. I tried everything to get it to go away! I also noticed being sleepy and having dreams. Why would it make me so sleepy? Long story short, I discontinued it. I'd rather go back to Sinex and not have bad aftertaste and be more alert."


"63 year old female with hypertension, I have been on Atacand 8-16 mg for about 8 years. A doctor I have never seen before put me on this to start 2.5 mg each day and take with the Atacand.  I have been taking it for about 6 weeks and after reading about all the side effects which I have some of, extreme tired, flushes, sweating, dizziness, tingling in soles of feet, arms and fingers, weakness, headaches and irritable.  I feel spaced out and terrible and I am not taking it anymore and I am going to go back and see my normal doctor.  I am annoyed that the doctor who put me on this did not warm me about the side effects!"


"Simponi did not work for me.  Tried it three months, and it made all the bleeding, cramping and diarrhea worse.  I really wanted it to work for me...but it didn't. And Jannssen was NO help...called it "side effects," when it was "exacerbation of symptoms."

Best wishes if you take it...I hope you find success with it.  :)"


"I had a bladder infection for the first time in my life, and was prescribed this medication. Worst experience of my life! Immediately upon taking this medication ( I took food with it, which is recommended), I started experiencing a horrible panic attack, followed by wheezing and coughing. But that wasn't the worst of it: I began feeling nauseous, and started vomiting. I threw up all the food I had eaten! I felt like I had a severe case of food poisoning! I had to stay in bed all day, in case I vomited again. Thankfully I didn't, and I must admit that my UTI symptoms disappeared after that first pill, but never again will I take this medication.
I hope this helped."


"After I put Jublia on within 2 to 3 days all the skin on all my toes became hard like a shell and I had to peel the skin off my toes which took about 2 wks"


"I have been taking this drug for one month and I feel so much better and my sugar is in control. I noticed that my digestive problems mostly disappeared when I started taking this drug. My IBS is much better. The swelling and bloating in my abdomen has reduced greatly. So far I have not had any noticeable side effects. I take 15mg daily."


"Been on this stuff for like almost two months and I haven't felt better. In fact I've been feeling more aggressive and sadder. I have crazy mood swings (didn't have them before this med) and I feel extremely angry and sad all the time. This didn't work on me. Worst antidepressant I've tried"


"I started taking this pill Jan. 16, 2012. I was a 235lb, 5'4 female. In one week I lost 13lbs. I lost a total of 90 lbs in 4 and a half months and have kept it off almost 4yrs.

BUT::::::
This pill will only be successful if you make life changes. It will increase energy and curb appetite while you take it. You will lose weight quickly. As soon as you stop, however, you will crave all the nutrients you have deprived your body of while trying to follow a 1000/1200 calorie a day diet.....thus gaining the weight back just as quickly if not careful to stick with portion control"


"I started about a month ago, it seems to be taking a long while to start showing any difference. If anything my acne is getting worse, but in new spots. Also I can't use it every night at directed because the dryness, and burning is too much to handle. Literally tearing up pain. I'll update again if it starts doing its job :("


"I'm 24 years old with 2 children. I wasn't 100% sold on getting a tubal being so young, but I'm sure I want one now. Mirena was NOT a good idea. I've gained 20 pounds in 6 months, and have acne so bad you'd think I never washed my face/neck. I have ZERO sex drive and I'm constantly tired. Not to mention a raging women. Not good for having a 6 month old and a toddler... I have an appointment to schedule a tubal, and I cannot wait to get this toxic hormone pumping piece of plastic out of my body. Let's hope I return to my normal self...."


"I took adipex for 6 months... my starting weight was 210.0 ... ending weight was 165.0 ... that was a year ago.  This is MY advice. #1. You may not FEEL like eating... but do it anyways... or you'll slow your metabolism down to a crawl and stop losing weight. Just watch what you eat!!  #2. Take vitamins!!!! By the time I hit 165# - my hair was starting to fall out, I couldn't focus, and I was constantly tired - sometimes I'd nearly pass out... because "I didn't feel hungry" and just wasn't really eating more than 500 calories a day.  Even sitting STILL your body burns way more than that! #3.  Be prepared to gain some of that back when you come off the pill.  I wasn't prepared at all - and I gained it all right back.  Still, great pill!"


"I have been on Adipex for 2 weeks now. I do have a some sleeping problems but it is getting better.  I have had some dizziness also.  I was 246 lbs and at my 2 week weigh in I was 235 lbs.  I have changed the way that I eat and have had no time for exercise.  I love this pill."


"I've had anxiety my entire life (as long as I can remember). I've had counseling over and over again with no results. I'm 31 now. I took Zoloft and Klonopin at about 19 years old with HORRIBLE side effects. I've been anti-medication since 19, but three days ago, I told my doctor I was FED UP with the lack of sleep, full-blown panic attacks, and feeling like I'm dying every hour to a point that my marriage is being adversely affected and my son is suffering from having less than the mom he deserves. He put me on 20 mg of Celexa. I don't know what to expect in a few weeks, but I already search for the anxious thoughts and can't find them. I'm SO hopeful that side effects will subside and that I'll still be me but better!"


"I had an experience with a rare side effect. I began sweating profusely after taking the pill (recommended dosage) after 3 days.  After reading further, I have figured out that I drank 2 cups of coffee the third morning when I took the pills, which led to the sweating.  Otherwise, I have had no adverse side effects, and it works great!  It is just not a good combination with coffee!"


"I got the nexplanon in late novermber or early December 2016 and so far so good. I haven't had terrible mood swings and when I feel sad or moody I just remind myself that it's the hormones and it's really nothing I can't handle. I haven't felt abnormally sluggish nor have I had a decrease in sexual desire. I have actually lost weight since I have been on the nexplanon and haven't had any issues with acne. The only problem I've had is the bleeding. It's been almost 2 months and I haven't stopped bleeding and it's not a whole lot but it's just irritating. That alone isn't enough to make me want to get off of this form of birth control so I think I'm going to stick with it. Also, this was 100% covered by my insurance. I definitely recommend it"


"I have been using Kadian for about 5 years and it has kept my pain at bay.  I was recently switched to Morphine and the pain that drives me crazy came back well before I could take another pill (8 hr). I found this intolerable and went back to the Kadian.  As of Jan. of 2017 the only thing my doctor says I will be able to get is EMBEDA.  I have not tried it yet but was denied coverage by my insurance.  The DEA should not interfere with patients getting their proper medication!"


"I have had trouble staying asleep for several years. No problems falling asleep, but most nights I wake up around 3 or 4AM (five hours into my sleep) and from that point forward I sleep fitfully. I tried Silenor (actually generic Doxepin) for about three weeks. It seemed to help a bit for the first few days, but after a few weeks I noticed no improvement beyond no medication. First few days I experienced about a 1-2 low grade hang-over. The most notable part of the experience was the very vivid dreams I had. They were not nightmares, but they tended to be disturbing and about mundane aspects of life. Things like being late for appointments, dealing with unwanted guests, arguments with friends, etc."


"Went from too much genius to just enough.  I won't describe it more specifically than that.  Excessive thoughts used to cause very bad anxiety and stress.  I used the fluxovaxmine maleate to quell the excessive thoughts and was able to focus better on getting things done.  The drug cannibilizes its effectiveness though because of the side effect of drowsiness.  I am often very tired on the drug, and although I am still able to work well, it takes more effort to do so than when I am not on any medication.  There are some sexual side effects to this drug as well.  The most prominent sexual side effect is near inability to climax.  But that is the nature of the drug: It numbs your emotions.  I can't have a normal sex life on this drug."


"I started taking this drug about 2 months ago and I  have lost about 30lbs, it seems I can tell it more in my cloths, they are to big for me now, which is a good thing, but I had to buy more clothes. The hardest thing more me is the dr. told me to eat every 4 hours."


"I took the depo once because my mom wanted me on it as I  was going into college. I was not sexually active and didn't want it. I got it anyways. I received my one and only injection in June, and had the WORST hormonal period of my life after two months of not bleeding. That period was 3 weeks long. After that one, I didn't bleed for another 2 months. Now, I've been bleeding for a month and a half and have gone through two bags of pads. It's depressing and emotional that I can't be like I was before. I can't even enjoy any type of sexual contact with my boyfriend. I highly recommend NOT getting this shot, it's ruined my life."


"Used duac years ago when I was a teenager with severe acne and now with mild acne as a 26 year old. Worked brilliantly both times. Skin started breaking out after my contraceptive implant was installed. Duac 5% was not available but 3% worked fine. I used along with bio oil and tea tree face wash. Did not experience any drying or flaking. Very pleased, I think it also levelled out my complexion by lightening the dark scars but that may be the bio-oil"


"-April 20th- Unprotected sex
-April 23rd- Took plan B (about 60 hours after unprotected sex)  That was the soonest I could get it. EAT BEFORE YOU TAKE THE PILL!  Eating before prevents you from being nauseous. I read all sorts of horrible reviews so I was expecting the worst.  Right after I took it I instantly became drowsy & increase in appetite.  But that's about it. No nausea, no change in stool, no tender breast, nothing.
-April 29th- Spotting
-April 30th- I started my period today, which is a week early.  But at least I started right!"


"My erection is as firm as it was when I was a teenager. It lasts 2.5 hours. It delays my ejaculation for quite sometime."


"Was on it for years before I developed resistance to it. MUST be taken at night to minimize side effects. Bad depression, confusion, random crying spells, feeling helpless, suicidal thoughts (& no I've never had it prior or after I stopped this medication).  It does get better as the med levels out but the first couple weeks are torture! In a grocery store I sat on the floor crying because 3 things on my list were on the same isle. I've never experienced anything like that in my life!"


"I have been on Rebif for a little over 8 years.  I still get fever/chills sometimes during the nights I have a shot.  This medication has been a life saver for me. I have had no relapses since I began."


"Day one, nausea, stomach pain, and when I woke up, horrible body pains, muscle pains and gas and bloating in the stomach.
I am now on day 8 and the body pains are still here. My stomach looks like I'm pregnant at all times. I can't sleep at night, I wake up 3-4 times a night. Nausea is gone, stomach pains are rarely there. Still have dull headaches. Don't know if I have gained weight. I seem to have slight trouble with my breathing. I do seem to be calmer and a bit less depressed but I don't think it has helped my bipolar systems as of yet."


"I had unprotected sex and I took the take action pill literally 2 hours after!! I am now 5 weeks pregnant. I do not recommend this pill at all!"


"It was an easy IV for 15 minutes.  Felt wonderful all day long.  Hadn't felt that good in a very long time!

Next day so sick.  Went right back to bed and was completely out all day long.  Got up later that afternoon and felt fine from then on.

Was given 4 ibuprophens before IV."


"Okay so I got my nexplanon implant about 7 months ago and have bled EVERY SINGLE DAY! It was embarrassing and annoying and made me so self conscious. I couldn't have sex without bleeding and making a mess . I hated it . Mood and depression also worsened , but officially after 7 whole months . I have stopped bleeding! It's only been two weeks, hopefully it doesn't come back or I will get it removed . I recommend to try something else !"


"After back to back tonic-clonic(grand-mal) seizures in 1989, I was put on Dilantin. With differing insurance programs, many times generic forms of it had to be used. A year back, although on 400 mg gram of phenytoin was still having problems. Since then, have been returned to Dilantin and reduction to 300mg per day. With this reduction, the blood tests are running high. However, some seizures still exist, but no massive seizures or complete blackouts are present.

To handle mental recall problems, was put on strattera, years ago. The combination of Dilantin and straterra has improved my communication abilities. The original difficulties were courtesy of brain damage due to an auto accident. The brain damage created the epilepsy and aphasia."


"I had excessive throat clearing after meals for ten years and seems after coffee/tea especially, did not know why? Some days worse than others thought maybe sinus draining or something. Recently I had reflux in my sleep, I had it every night for about 4 weeks straight, terrible stuff! I tried Prilosec OTC for 15 days, and nothing changed, then saw specialist and put on Dexilant. 15 days on Dexilant (1-60mg daily-15 days later I was still having the night reflux-doctor said take two Dexilant a day (morning/night dose). I did, three days later the night reflux gone. It has been a 3 weeks now, no night reflux. Some dry/throat days and light throat/day/burn, not anymore, no throat clearing, no side effects except green stool though."


"My son took Risperdal for 8 years. Then developed Tardive Dyskinesia/Dystonia

He had to have surgery to insert  Deep Brain Stimulator to help control his movement disorder."


"Was prescribed acetaminophen/tramadol for migraine pain after traditional migraine medicines actually worsened my pain...it really helped..a strange sort of relief though...can still feel the actual pounding but it just doesn't hurt after I take the tramadol! I am used to it now. Usually take 1 or 1/2 a pill 2 or 3 times a week...although was prescribed to take every 4 hours as needed. Oh also, I was having a problem with frequent diarrhea and that is gone now too! I get itchy skin when I go several days without them but not so much that it really bothers me."


"From the experience of taking Yaz for about two years. Advantages: no pain at PMS, less bleeding, scheduled period, for sale in most of the countries.

disadvantages: cause me with gaining weight (about  3kg) for near two years, although there might be other reasons"


"Well I was on Wellbutrin, Ciprolex, and Carbamazapine to start with, but was still having issues with some symptoms hanging around, such as lack of motivation and aches and pains.. When my psychiatrist put me on the Abilify, he warned me that I might LOSE weight. I laughed at this because usually these types of meds have the opposite effect.. and according to a lot of the reviews, that seems to be the case. But sure enough, within a couple weeks I had started noticing that my clothes were getting looser and my family started commenting their concern (I was already a healthy weight before).. I ended up going off of the Abilify because 1 and a half months later I had lost over 20lbs and literally underweight. Scary stuff! Great otherwise.."


"I have had this BC for almost 2 years now. At first I had no periods for months then I had a few months of lots of spotting but now I'm fairly regular (light period every month). It's great! I have always had terrible reactions to birth control pills (nausea, weight gain, mood swings etc) but with nexplanon I didn't experience any of that. I had some slight weight gain within the first 6 months but idk if the nexplanon is to blame and I I've lost that weight and some since then. I highly recommend this kind of BC it's great knowing I am protected against pregnancy and don't have to deal with the agganizing side effects of the pill!"


"been on Hydroxyzine Pamoate capsule and it does not help with my anxiety."


"SOOOOO glad I finally went online to read reviews!!!!' I'm not the only one!  I pick up this birth control to find the had changed, but the sticker said it was the same medication? What a load of rubbish!! I've seriously gained 5 or more pounds this week"


"Took two regimens of doxy before finally getting this. Doc said it would give me nausea and diarrhea, but I ignored him. Thankfully he prescribed nausea meds. This is day 3 and I still feel nausea and have the runs after every meal. The itching is finally going away though"


"Mirvoaso works...even the bad reviews state that it works in the beginning. You HAVE to experiment to find what amount your skin will tolerate. I have been using it for 3 years & I love it.  Use it on day 1...if you can still see paleness on day 2 do not add more to your face,  wait until the effects have completely gone before using it again. Only use a small amount  ( you need to experiment with that as well). Also,  another great thing about this ( maybe why I have success with it )  is after 2 hours of applying it, I wash it off because it does not mix well with makeup and I still get the same good results  & stay away from redness triggers (sun, alcohol)"


"I am just beginning to start my second week, and its going great. I don't have the urge, just habit. The worst thing is my husband is still smoking so it causes some issues. Sometimes I want to go outside with him but when I do, I can only smoke maybe half of it. The only thing I can think of that has changed while being on these pills was always being thirsty. But no sleep problems, no dreams, no depression or anxiety. I love how my life is changing. One thing that I do notice makes me angry and emotional is smelling someone who just smoked. But they don't get it because they don't smell or realize it. I have been on it a full week and down to 3 1/2 a day. I was smoking close to a whole pack a day. Hard to get over how easy it is, Good luck!"


"The cost of each pack was a bit shocking when I first started it. The discount program the company offers is not applicable if you have insurance. It would have cost over $100 per pack out of pocket, but now cost me about $50. I have never paid over $20 per pack with other BC after insurance. I've been taking it for about a half of a year after I stopped nursing my first-born. I cannot remember the last time I had a period, but my doc says 10% of patients don't get a period on LLF. This makes me paranoid that I'm pregnant! Also, I have had an increased appetite and have gained back 20 lbs that I worked really hard to lose postpartum. I wake up feeling very tired every day, but my energy is fine once I get going. No sex drive either!!"


"I took Provera pills daily to stop my periods to kill the monthly pain. I chose pills over the shot so I could have control of deciding when/if I wanted to stop.  I took the pills for 6 months.  The first month I had lots of breakthrough bleeding - basically I was slowly bleeding for a few weeks.  After that I had no period, no spotting, no cramps - that part was FANTASTIC!  However, for me the side effects were severe and unlivable.  I had insomnia (waking in the night) every night.  I had night sweats every night.  I gained a little weight.  I had extreme vaginal dryness/painful intercourse which was a first ever for me.  My sex drive was non-existent and my acne and facial hair (PCOS) got much worse."


"It is unbelievable how wonderful this medicine is for yeast infections! I went to doc for a urinary tract infection and also had symptoms of redness, burning, itching and swelling. It was the worst ever! Took 1 pill and already noticed results in just a few hours! It is a miracle."


"In the UK after many years in the Middle East, my psoriasis, unnoticeable in the warm climate, returned as heavy scales on my arms, legs and stomach.  Prescribed NEORAL I was completely clear after six weeks with no side effects.  After 20 months my does was reduced by 25% and within three months my psoriasis had returned although not as heavy.  My dosage was changed back two weeks ago, and already there is a marked difference in my skin, hopefully I will be clear again soon!"


"I feel that this medication did decrease my anxiety (I have social anxiety) and made me feel less nervous in a lot more situations. I went on roller coasters and felt nothing for the most part. The only bad thing is that this medicine wrecked my sleeping patterns. I usually will wake up 7-8 hours after I fall asleep, but now I wake up maybe 10-11 hours after. I am sure that would be fine if I were 12, but I am not. I am so used to the way I have slept for so long that it feels pretty horrible to be such a heavy sleeper."


"I am a 87 yr old with increasing diarrhea for the last few years. I
Was diagnosed about a year ago with possible IBS. Dr. gave Rx for Lenzess which caused severe diarrhea. So only took occasionally then
began taking regularly about 6 months ago  as prescribed.     Had response within an hour     With diarrhea 6 to 8 episodes
For next 3 to 4 hours. It seems      to work fine, but did not produce a normal BM. Because the diarrhea every day was so disruptive.The Dr.changed the  Rx to every other
day and still had good results.
Changed  time Rx taken to 30 min b4 the evening meal . Rx seem take longer to work but is a lot less disruptive to my day.Things may never return to normal, but they are a lot better with Lenzess!"


"After one month I began noticing a difference. I was still getting breakouts, but they were healing faster and were not painful anymore. By two months I still was getting pimples but they were tiny, and vanishing overnight. Then after that, it stopped all together. I don't currently have a single pimple on my face and my post acne marks have had the chance to fade over the last three weeks. I'm finishing up my third month on the pill this week.
Side Effects: At first I felt a bit drowsy, had spotting the first two months, and breast tenderness. But these symptoms seem to be fading just like my acne.
I would strongly recommend this to anyone who thinks they may have hormonal acne. I only wish I had tried it sooner!"


"I've been on Estrace for just over 2 years to treat Primary Ovarian Failure. I have grown about 3 inches taller, my breasts have not increased in size, they are just constantly sore. I have been getting a lot of discharge, which is not overly pleasant. I get dizzy spells sometimes. I have gained about 15 pounds in 2 years again not the greatest, but my growth could have something to do with it. Acne, comes and goes sometimes it is horrible, other times my skin is great! My feet have also grown 1.5 sizes. I am very moody. That comes along with being young though. Overall, I would give it a 6/10, as I did not notice too many pleasant side effects, however it handled my problem inside."


"I got the Nexplanon in July of 2013. The first 1.5 years I loved it! Only 3-4 small bleedings in that time, and everything felt great, no mood swings, etc. After a stressful month (not sure if this has anything to do with it but the timelines definitely coincides) I started having 4-5 days long periods, every 1-2 weeks. The bleedings became more infrequent for a short period of time (again timeline coincides with less stress), after which I started getting the frequent (but short) bleedings again. The last couple of weeks I've also become exceptionally moody, and about everything will make me cry the 1-2 days before the short bleeding occurs. Also I'm exhausted all the time. It was great until it went bad. Getting it removed ASAP."


"Love Seroquel. Changed my life. "


"So I just finished my 2nd month of this birth control. First month was great, had a normal 7 day period but when my second months period came around it never stopped... I've been on my period literally alllll month and still no signs of stopping or slowing down. Its not a normal or light period either. Its a constant HEAVY flow. Changing  super size tampons and pass like every hour. And I Am extremely tired. Falling asleep at 6 pm everyday cuz my body is so drained feeling :("


"My doc switched me from Prozac & Abilify to Depakote ER 500mg at bed time. I've been taking Depakote ER 500mg for almost 4 months now. Everyone in my life has noticed a positive change in me. I feel so calm within. My anxiety & insomnia are very much under control now. I'vw suffeerd with bipolar since my teens. I am 38yrs old. Depakote ER 500 has saved my life! I was done with psych meds & ready to just give up! I'm so glad I have such an amazing doc. No more changing my meds. Depakote ER 500mg in combo with Xanax 1mg 3x's per day has me back to feeling like myself again. Also, I don't need to take the xanax everyday or 3x's per day anymore. The Depakote ER 500mg works for numerous disorders I suffer from. I could go on about the pro's of this med."


"I have chronic Anxiety and Nausea/Vomiting. At first, I got put on HydrOXYzine 25mg 4x daily. It barely touched me, very weak medication. Then I tried Promethazine, which worked incredibly well for the Nausea. But it didn't help with my Anxiety. Then I got put on Lorazepam, 2mg 3x daily.. My whole life changed. No more anxiety, no more vomiting, and no more Anxiety induced Insomnia. Lorazepam is a GREAT medication."


"I was on this birth control for a month and a half. I experienced terrible bloating. I've been thin my whole life, always very active and able to eat whatever I wanted. With this pill, I constantly felt tired and had to monitor what I ate so I didn't gain weight (I gained about 5 pounds, still working out although not as intense as before due to being tired, BUT I was eating less!) Also, this pill affected my mood a lot- it was a subtle change, but then a month and a half later I realized I never had the energy to do anything. I was sad quite often. My acne didn't improve at all, if anything it made it worse. Breast were tender. But, no decrease in sex drive and did prevent pregnancy."


"After 3 failed acne Rx's (epiduo, sulfer face wash, minocycline) my 13yo daughter was prescribed this in conjunction w/ amoxicillin by a dermatologist (first 3 were from a pediatrician).  I has worked very well and finally cleared her acne up.   Her acne was moderate when we started w/ the Rx's, but then I'd say 2 months of minocycline got it in the severe range.   Now her face is pretty much all clear after 2 months on this product and amoxicillin.   She had/has some occaisional dryness and peeling, especially w/ her lips, but it was minor and much better than dealing w/ acne.  I like this product."


"I have been on the lantus for 6mos. and have been walking everyday up to 1hr. each day and have been eating well for about 1yr. and my BSG is still about 150 or higher and I have gained 47lbs since I started. That is the only thing different that I've been doing."


"I had a wicked bout of strep while travelling in Europe. I had a round of Amoxicillin which didn't quite clear it, so I was prescribed Augmentin. I had 30 hours of travel ahead of me, and two hours of sleep to go on, but despite the circumstances, I began to feel much better! The only side effects I've had so far have been that the acne on my cheeks has completely cleared up and I have better than average energy levels (not sure if either of these are related to the Augmentin, but the timing lines up perfectly)."


"My daughter came home with lice this friday. I tried 2 types of head lice shampoo that didn't work. My daughter doctor prescribe Sklice. Wow it work wonders in 1 day no more lice. I'm very thankful. And it's very expensive."


"I was diagnosed with PTSD at first I was on 15mg of valium a day ( this kept me calm and clued on) , then my doctor put me on 15mg of Mirtazapine . I found it turned me into a  moody, brain dead zombie the next day, even if I had it at 6pm at night I wouldn't be out of bed until at least 12pm the next day and I would still be tired. I ended up putting on heaps of weight, having worse mood swings and trouble falling alseep when I was on Mirtazapine. I have PTSD but I am NOT depressed, I tried to explain this to my Doctor but she didn't pay much attention, im wondering if that may have something to do with the way my body reacted.
Personally I prefer 15 mg of valium, I'm calm and can still function 100%"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I give this a 10 due to how well it gets the job done. The taste I cannot even explain. Be prepared for wanting to puke every single time you drink it. Smell delicious, like cherry koolaid but that is most definitely not what it tastes like. Started my prep at 6pm. Took about an hour, hour and a half to kick it. Completely stopped going at 2am. I have to take my second prep at 6am.. not looking forward to it."


"I was only on this birth control for a day and almost fainted. I took it with plenty of food but after about 6 hours I started sweating really bad, my vision started going, and couldn't hear anything. Was really scary. I'm now on Provera 10 mg twice a day for heavy bleeding - it hasn't affected me at all and has actually put me in a better mood than usual."


"I have had gout on and off for a few years now, I was prescribed Allopurinol by my GP. It took a month or so before I really worked well. I can really say it has done the trick for me."


"Before I started taking buspar it felt like there was a ticking time bomb inside my body and throughout the years it just got louder and louder. I would have so much panic and fear that I stood still to avoid having to move forward in life. After I started taking buspar that tick went away and the fear lessened enough for me to start taking steps forward to better my life and my families life...I have nothing but good things to say about this."


"Started on Pristiq after my dad passed away two years ago, and I was to the point I couldn't handle life.  It was great; I was happy, I could cope, I didn't gain too much weight (a little maybe, but I wasn't "obsessed" with food). My sex drive was pretty much gone though.  Because of lack of sex drive, and sudden migraines, I went off it after a year.  Tried to start taking it again, and it just wasn't working anymore.  The number one thing I would warn people about is that it's really hard to stop taking this medication. The side effects with the withdrawals are brain shocks, depression, blurry vision, confusion, exhaustion.  "


"Was put on Amoxicillin for my UTI, didn't work, went back to doctors and they prescribed me Cipro. After taking first pill, felt much better. Only side effect seemed to be irritation and itching of vagina."


"Well since I've had nexplanon in I've been on my period. After three months my doctor told me to wait one more month, it's been five months now and I'm still on my period. Not only that but it's horribly messed with my emotions. I had a lot of down days before but this made me develope legitamate depression to the point where I either needed to go to a therapist or find a new gynocologist to get this out of me asap."


"Been taking generic cymbalta for about 2 months for depression, anxiety, and OCD. When I first started I fluctuated between super tired and super hyper, that lasted for a few weeks. I also got dizzy a lot. After about 4 weeks all the side effects went away and now it's helping a lot with depression and helps a bit with anxiety and OCD. Your mileage may vary but for me this medication has been a godsend."


"I have tried all of it and so far Dilaudid works best for me."


"I am 36 and it was a year since getting my Mirena put in. I have never had children so I was told the insertion was going to hurt. Honestly I felt like I was giving birth but it was well worth it. I had some cramping, very little spotting the day of but I have not had a period since insertion. I think it is great and any women should talk with their doctor and just talk about it. It is worth it."


"I LOVE this medication. For years I felt like a rabbit .Hours in bathroom only to produce pellets if lucky. Diagnosed with severe diverticular entire colon and several diverticulitis attacks within a year. Colon resection and possible candidate for a bag was on the table untli my GI recommended Linzess. (Miralax , Milk of Magnesia and many others did not work for me).

This pill is a miracle for me. Taking the 290 in the morning. wait 30 minutes to eat , then within 3 hour I am empty and ready for the day !! Yes ther is diahrea sometimes within that 3 hours but NOT painful or uncomfortable. I have not had 1 diverticulitis attack in 1 year now ! I am just over the moon thrilled. I am thankful for this prescription."


"I have been taking this medicine off and on for about 2 years. When I first started I hated it because it made me feel anxious and depressed and emotional. I was on 10mg a few times a day. It took the sickness away but I couldn't handle the side effects so I stopped and the sickness came back. Finally the Dr. cut it down to 5mg and I felt so much better with that. The side effects were gone and sickness was controlled too. I'm doing very well with this medicine but the long term use still has me nervous because I don't want to develop tremors later. So far so good and I feel pretty good."


"Unbelievable! No shakes, no sweats, no tremors.... just cool, calm and collected during my interview. I was like a different person, highly recommend if you have performance anxiety!!!"


"I got my Skyla IUD 5 months ago. I am 18 and have never had a child. I liked the idea of the IUD because I didn't have to remember to take it, it was there for three years, it was the most effective, and because there was an option to have an IUD without hormones. I struggle with depression and anxiety and I was afraid that hormonal birth control would only make matters worse. However, because of all of the terrible period stories I had heard about it, at the last minute I had my OBGYN switch to Skyla. The insertion did not take long at all and amid horror stories, the pain wasn't unbearable. It didn't feel great, but it was well worth it. If the fear of insertion is what drives you away from this option, don't let that happen! Before my IUD my periods were like clockwork, every four weeks, five days, no cramps- perfect. Afterward, I still don't get cramps, some periods have been really light, but I have had a period that was over a week late and one that was two weeks long. This is to be expected in the first few months. I do not believe that it has had any influence on my depression/anxiety, at least not monumental. I haven't gained weight, lost my sex drive or any other negative symptoms. My partner has finished inside of me multiple times and nothing has happened. Also, he cannot feel the strings. I would highly recommend this form of birth control, I understand every body is different, but if you're spending hours reading horror stories like I was, don't let that stop you."


"12 weeks on sovaldi and daklinza. After 7 weeks hcv not detectable in blood. Mild joint pain and stomach problems. Was hard to get approved and cost insurance $147,500 but I only pay $5 a month."


"works good if you use three of them at the same time.

Suffered Spinal injury in AFG. Multiple Surgeries did little to fix problem. I am happy that I am walking. Pain is usually severe enough that Only  the Colorado patch works. These are for when I'm not in Colorado.

Have to use 3 to get any results though. They could use a better adhesive. 100mph tape works best to hold them on."


"Pills are small and easy to take, just be sure to take them with food and that you'll be near a toilet. Going from 1-2 bowel movements a week to 3-4 a day."


"This is my second time trying Chantix. Both times it made me so sick I had to lay in bed for at least an hour or I could not keep it down. It was awful; tried eating before meals after meals, while eating with and without liquids and nothing seemed to work, but the cravings were going away. Then for some reason I tried it with banana bread. Just a tiny piece And it took away the sickness. Didn't feel a single thing. Next day I tried a banana smoothie.. Same thing. Something with banana eases the nausea. So much I moved up to a full 1 mg 2xs a day and still good to go! If you are feeling this try it! Someone suggested portable pur"


"Just recently started taking this, there's been some belly rumbling, but no BM. This report is about side effects of severe ringing ears, systemic sensation of itchiness like being bitten by little bugs. It's not severe like the ringing ears is, but its still kind of creepy. It seems the FDA did not do their job. Somebody's making money at consumer risk. The doctor gave
 me a sample..."


"I was prescribed the Effexor ER for acute depression and anxiety after a death in the family and only took it for a month, but it made me sane and able to face every day as a teacher without crying randomly throughout the day. That was 2 years ago. I was prescribed it again for the same thing when my fiance passed away. I thought I was ready to stop taking it after 3 weeks but I found myself fighting back tears over small incidents like breaking a pen or a student asking me a simple question about the material. I started taking it again and it's been a life saver for me. I can still take the time to reminisce at night and grieve, although the tears seldomly come. If you aren't on it long then the withdrawal isn't bad at all. Hope this helps!:)"


"I started taking Celexa just over 2 years ago after my 3rd husband and I broke up.  I was really depressed. DR. gave me 10 mg of Celexa. I felt like a new person within 24 hours.  It has changed my life.  For the first time I truly feel balanced.  I tried to stop Celexa after about a year later.  After about a month I started feeling a low level depression, weepy and negative.  I went back on my 10 mg. and am up and running again. I can look back on my relationships and see how my depression really contributed to the breakups."


"I got the implant almost a year ago.  Since I had one period which lasted about a month or month-and-a-half.  I also gained 60 pounds.  Family it wasn't until my family started noticing my  weight going up and talking about it and two of my relatives mentioned it could be due to the next plan on . It has also affected my marriage due ti the weight gain. I feel tired lazy sluggish all the time.  My weight gain started pretty quickly  within a month-and-a-half I had already gained 42 pounds."


"Taking amoxicillin for tooth infection the first day of taking it was horrible tooth hurt more than it did before I started but I think that was the drug doing it's job trying to fight off the infection second day same situation still more pain the third day was great finally no more pain from toothache! Pain free only thing is I woke up with swollen gums.  Side effects from this drug is hard to bare especially for me since I work 9-9. I was very tired on daily basis my body was weak , stomach pain, woke up in the middle of night not being able to sleep. I mean side effects were horrible but I only had to take This drug for 7 days until I was able to get the tooth pulled . Thank God"


"I am 32yo female 5'5" and went in weighing at 205. I am an athlete, however I am hungry all of the time. I actually feel hungry all the time, and the inner dialogue was always about food. I have been on Contrave for 2 weeks and 2 days. I have lost 6 pounds and the inner dialogue is becoming less and less everyday and the hunger is gone. It is a miracle. I will say that I did have a headache for 3 days when I went to 2 pills a day. Yesterday I started 2 pills in the AM and noticed that when I eat after taking it my stomach cramps something awful. After about 30 minutes the pain produces a bowel movement and I am fine. I would much rather have this side effect than the headache or nausea. I am anxious to see how I do on the full 4 pills a day"


"My mother was on this and had negative side effects, diarrhea, weakness, changes in behaviors, combative,  using foul language,  on 10 mgs.  I complained and the MD took her off ,  then put her back on 3 months later, same side effects.  I am disgusted at how these meds are prescribed and the side effects are WORSE that the behaviors.  I am an RN, and this is abuse of our elder patients."


"Cymbalta made me very depressed and very nauseated, but my doctor wanted me to give it a month to see if my symptoms got better. Symptoms didn't improve."


"I started taking phentermine (adipex) on 3/1/2017, weighing 208 lbs. I'm 28 years old and 5'8. Since having my son 6 years ago, my weight has been up and down dramatically.  When I started the medication it gave me extreme dry mouth but the doctor said that was normal. That helped me increase my water intake. I started carrying a 16 oz water bottle with me everywhere and constantly refilled it. He wants me to consume 1200-1300 calories a day. I'm not "dieting" per say but it does make me eat smaller portions. I walk my dog 2 miles every day and that's the extent of my excercising. Today is 5/6 and I'm down 18lbs. I highly recommend this pill to anyone who needs a little boost."


"I was prescribed this drug in a 100mg dose patch when the vicodin I was taking couldnt control the pain I was having from kidney stone surgery. The patch worked great at eliminating the pain but it made me very nauseated. Still better than the pain I had."


"I tried cymbalta right after I gave birth and I noticed a difference within days. My.mood swings before my period get very bad and I thought the medicine wasn't working anymore so I switched to prozac. Big.mistake. I couldn't get out of bed. I switched back to cymbalta and am on day 2 and feel good. Never had side effects or anything like that. This has always been fast acting and an overall good medicaton for depression and my anxiety."
