"Xeljanz XR is the first medication to truly give me relief.  I has allowed me to live somewhat of a normal life!  None of the biologics worked and methotrexate was a bust with lots of side effects.  I've been on it for 9 months and an very happy."


"My doctor prescribed this for me when I was dealing with pain from a fractured sternum. After dealing with the pain for over a year we tried this. Fantastic results. Required only 3 weeks of treatment and the pain resolved."


"I was on vacation when I started feeling symptoms: fever, body aches, weakness etc. Once I got back into the states I went straight to urgent care as my symptoms continued. Dr gave me Tamiflu. She said it's most effective if taken within the first few days the symptoms start, but hopefully it will help shorten the time left. My fever and body aches were gone by the next morning thank god. I did experience some dizziness in my head, no vomiting but severe diarrhea.. oh god, my stomach feels like it's on fire from the inside. I didn't eat much in the days prior to taking it but I made sure to eat a little something before each dose. I'm unable to return to work until I can get my stomach issues under control. Stopped taking after 2.5 days."


"I have been on Fluoxetine for about 3 months after being diagnosed with Dysthymia( 40 year old male ) and can positively say that it has improved my quality of life. In retrospect, I have felt "dysthymic" probably since early adulthood, and it took me so long to find out why I felt this way. It was only after doing my own internet searches that I found a condition which was exactly how I had been feeling for so long (..and this is the important point to note about Dysthymia - many people have it for so long, that they just accept that the depressive feelings etc. are part of their personality). I had a few side effects early on - mainly nausea, but that subsided after a couple of weeks. After a very long time in my life - I feel positive!"


"This is my 3rd time using these pills.  The first time was in 2012, I lost roughly 35 lbs.  I started again about 2 months ago. I kept the weight off, for about 4 years then got too comfortable and gained weight so here I am.   Along with everyone else, when I first took an entire pill I too thought I was going to die.  LOL funny but not funny.  I started breaking the pill in half & I had no more issues.  I DO NOT recommend taking these pills on an empty stomach. Eat first, take with WATER no caffeinated beverages or juice.  Drink at least 16 ounces of water with it and you more than likely will not have anymore side effects.  I feel completely normal when taking the pill as mentioned above.  Hope this helps!"


"I have suffered from depression my entire life it seems like. I've been on many, MANY anti-depressants. But this one works like a charm. The only bad thing about it is - if you go cold turkey for a few days because you run out, or forget to take it you can tell a definite difference. It makes you extremely sick. Never go cold turkey but I recommend this medication to any and everyone with depression who have tried many medications."


"As an avid runner, I suffered a painful IT band (iliotibial band) strain on the outside of my left knee.  Went to the doctor after a week of pain and not much healing taking place to make sure I didn't suffer any major ligament damage.  He diagnosed the IT band issue and gave some samples of Flector Patch and as more of a comic relief, stated that "these really shouldn't work, but actually do".  Was a little skeptical at first, but these patches do provide wonderful relief.  Four patches later I am feeling much improvement in the mobility of my knee strain.  Definitely worth a try."


"I have only just begun taking Seasonique but boy is it effective. But who could get pregnant when your mood swings are off the charts and you have absolutely NO sex drive, and even if I tried to be interested, it wouldn't be worth it because it's too dry. Seriously...me and my boyfriend hate it. Trying to wait it out and see if there is any improvement."


"Hey y'all I'm just checking in again. I've lost sooooo much weight since I've started guys. Omg. I had a baby, my 3rd to be exact and just could never get back to my weight I was before my babies. I'm 5'1 and I weighed 198lbs after my baby. I took the pill April 27 it's not July 30...

I've lost 40lbs in 3 months

I don't have dry mouth anymore but I still do have a little blurry vision. No high blood pressure and is very healthy. I will stop using this once I reach my goal of 130lbs. Now I do watch what I eat and I calorie count. That could be why I also lost so much so quickly. It's curbs your appetite and you must remember to eat. I love this pill. I'll keep y'all posted :)"


"I have been using minoxidil from almost 4 years but not regularly I mean for 4 month I used minoxidil then I took a month break because it seemed useless but later I found that it may work after 3-4 months of usage. I have been on finisteride also but the side effect of finisteride which is erectile dysfunction and chances of impotency too though its chances are not too high but still I love children more than my hair so now again I started using minoxidil alone, now it have been a month that I started minoxidil again and I will test it but review from my cousins was very positive, though my finger crossed, I wish it will be helpful. By the way hair concern women more than men. Please if someone can assure me that yup it's work kindly do so"


"My partner was given these tablets for nightmares Chronic PTSD, he was already taking blood pressure tablets after enduring a heart attack 5 years ago....on the fourth day he collapsed in the garden, could not speak, stand, he was a terrible grey colour and his lips turned blue...The paramedics took him to A&E ....They discovered his blood pressure was dangerously low, he had a panic attack and his heart beat slowed right down........he should not have been given this medication whilst on other blood pressure tablets so be warned ....."


"I was on wellbutrin XL 300mg for 6 years. After 3 years I started having extreme woozy/lightheaded spells that were ruining my life. Everyone kept blaming it on my anxiety. After three years of hating life I went off of wellbutrin. It took over 30 days before I even started to see relief, but by the 90 day mark I was free from those spells. I have my life back. It would not have gone away. Wellbutrin helps with the kind of depression where you have NO motivation and crave sugar. It will make you dehydrated, constipated, edgy, and a light sleeper that only needs about 6 hours per night. It isn't good for anxiety and will not help it. During the adjustment period you could lose about 10 lbs and have the most vivid nightmares ever."


"Hi, I'd strongly advise not to take these tablets if your prone to weight gain. I've been on them 2 months now and gained a stone in weight. I eat healthy and work out 4 times a week . This has resulted in my anxiety and depression becoming a lot worse ."


"I took cymbalta for depression, anxiety, and for severe fibromyalgia symtoms.

The extreme mood swings, depression, constant thoughts of suicide, symtoms that mimicked my already existing fibromyalgia symptoms and unfortunately made them worse.

Sleepless nights-even days at a time, drowsiness, complete change in my personality.

When I started a physician observed decrease with intention to quit cymbalta altogether, I tried killing myself multiple time, shakes, tremors, skin crawling, brain and body "zaps", nausea vomiting diarrhea mood swings hospitalization.

Don't, just don't take it. There are other drugs and cbt therapies that are tried and true. Whose long term side effects are well understood and documented. Almost ruined me."


"I went on Q in Feb of 2015 for exactly one month, not a day less.  At 5'7 and 173 lbs my Dr needed a pretty serious justification to cut me a prescription but since I suffer with chronic back pain she relented.  I'm a 37 year old woman who loves to eat and definitely doesn't work out enough.  In a month on Q, I lost close to 15lbs without pretty much any effort.  Now comes the reality check:  in the next year, I gained it all back.  Every.single.pound.  I didn't have terrible side effects while on Q, but I did experience chest pains towards the end.  So, the lesson here is quite works but you have to do your part.  Now, a year later, I got another prescription and I hope this time I will lose the weight and manage to keep it off for good."


"I had tried everything going for my moderate acne - even twice on roaccutane (with amazing results) but my skin started to get worse within eight months of coming off the treatment. I went back to the dermatologist and they recommended Dianette birth control pill, but it didn't get rid of the small bumps around my chin and my confidence was getting worse. I kept taking this for about 18 months and went back the dermatologist begging them to put me back on roaccutane - but they said no to a third time.

They prescribed epiduo which I'd never heard off, and I presumed it was going to be useless. I was wrong! After 12 weeks I'm totally clear, with exactly the same results as roaccutane (but without the risks!) it does sting though!"


"I went to my OBGYN for my yearly appointment and she refilled the same pill that I've been on for two years. Loved Trinessa, did its job, I could estimate the time of my period down to the hour. Lasted 4 days. And for being a person that switched pills for a year trying to lessen my sad feelings, Trinessa really did me well.

So, after my yearly appointment, I went to pick up my new, yearly prescription. CVS stopped carrying Trinessa and gave me Tri-Estarylla instead. All they told me was that they did not carry Trinessa and that this was the same chemical compound, just a different generic brand. Well now, I've been on this new pill for two weeks, and I have yet to stop bleeding from my last week on Trinessa! Spotting is terrible."


"I've been on Sprintec for about a year and a half now and it's honestly the best birth control there is. I've had no negative side affects, all have been positive results. It works like it should, & has cleared my acne up incredibly."


"Finacea is a miracle drug, but the key to perfect (most of the time) skin is adding a good moisturizer. I use a good skin moisturizer for rosacea. I have my beautiful, glowing skin back!!! It is all worth the money to me. If your skin is burning and red it is probably because you are not using the right moisturizer. Remember, people with rosacea need special moisturizers. Maybe find one made specifically for rosacea.

Good luck!!"


"Stress from Major life changes left me with nasty panic attacks that lead to an anxiety disorder for over a year. You name the symptom it I had it.Until you lived with an anxiety disorder you have NO idea how crippling these symptoms could be. My doctor immediately put me on Lexapro when I told her how I was feeling. I took it for 3 days and felt out of my mind. I was paralyzed with fear... I went off it and tried celexa and prozac. After these 2 drugs didn't work I gave lexapro another try. YES the side effects are horrible but they GO AWAY.  I feel so much better and I'm getting control back slowly but SURELY!!"


"I have been having more outbreaks (stress, depression, weight gain, PCOS), so I am on 1 gram of Valtrex a day as suppression. I started with an ulcer in my mouth and lip swelling, so I took 2 pills today and poof - almost gone. I have no side effects from the medication. I am happy there is a generic now that is much cheaper. I just hate that it is a big pill and that is the only reason I don't rate medication a 10."


"After an episode of erythema nodesum from my last birth control pills, my doctor suggested I try a 3 month course of Micronor to see how my body would react to the progesterone.  Well, I've gained 5lbs and had my period or spotting 27 out of the 42 days I've been taking it.

My doctor wants me to continue on it to prepare for an IUD, but honestly I don't want it if the breakthrough is going to be this problematic."


"I never have constipation problem until just recently. I could still have bowel movement daily but just pellets. Decided to give Ducolax a try as I saw the TV commercial stating gentle and predictable relief. Took one pill this morning at 9 and I didn't read instructions as to drink lots of water afterwards. But I generally drink water constantly. At around 3pm, I experience a mild cramp. Within an hour, I used the bathroom and still pellets. Half an hour later, I went and this time is "perfect". Haven't felt this relieved for a long time. If this is your first time taking Ducolax, I suggest just take one pill and do it during the day if you don't have anything planned and stay home just in case cramp is bad."


"Our son has gone through 3 other medicines, and this is the only one that has worked with no side effects.   We have noticed that it wears off at the end of the school day, so after school activities are a little more challenging.   He struggles a little in the evening, since it's definitely worn off by then, but what it does for him in school is great.  We're looking into options to help him in the evening without messing up his sleep."


"Requip was life changing for a year!  But like others have commented, my RLS has been getting a lot worse.  I have discovered that this is a rather common side effect of this drug.  Before requip I used to have 3-4 bad nights a week.  Now if I don't have access to the medication I don't sleep at all, and the medication is working less and less.  I don't know if it has been worth it."


"I take lithium 300 mg twice daily. The lithium makes me pee constantly and I really have to watch it if I decide to have any alcohol - I drink just 2 small beers and I'm very buzzed. The lithium makes me feel stable and it keeps me from having severe or deep depression. It has eliminated my severe depressions and it's the only drug I've tried that does this. I still get the blues or feel slightly depressed but NOTHING like the suicidal black hole depression I used to experience.  Also, it slows me down during hypomania so I don't escalate to full blown mania. But if I neglected to take my lithium during hypomania (ran out) when in full blown mania -lithium helps, but in my case I must take an anti psychotic to ground me as well."


"Lortab allows me to work a physical job.  Without it, that would be impossible.  It does not remove all the pain, but it helps with the severity of the pain.  I am careful that I do not overuse it."


"Cymbalta increased my pulse rate to 110 to 120 bpm. Went back to doctors office was given beta blocker medication to decrease my heart pulse. Cymbalta also did not help with panic attack, anxiety and depression. Bad side effects especially dizziness all day long."


"I've been on nexplanon for a few months now, and I love it! I've had NO periods and NO spotting. It obviously does its job preventing pregnancy, but it really helped my terrible PMS cramps. No weight gain, no acne. The only thing I will say, I have had my share of mood swings and depression moments (although I've had depression prior to bc). Being 99.9% effective is worth any side effect."


"Doesn't work. Unreliable dosing. Expensive."


"My tonsils have been hurting very badly the whole day that I felt like crying. 10 minutes after taking Advil, I felt such a relief. More than half of the pain was gone and I was able to take my final exams for school without any pain. Thank you so much Advil!"


"I was prescribed this medication in the end of March and I weighed 227lbs. I've been on it since then and weighed in today at 194lbs. I plan on taking it until I reach my goal of 175lbs. The only side effect I've experienced is dry mouth. Other than that I have had no jitters, no problems sleeping and it has curbed my appetite and made me eat better portions. Plus it's made me feel better and more confident in the way I look and given me more energy."


"I'm  66 yrs and have had back pain for 46 yrs. My doctor had me on Percodan for about 15 yrs then he switched me over to Oxycontin when the Percodan didn't help. I'm on 10mg twice a day. I have Degenerative disk disease from L1 to L5 plus a fractured tail bone (from a fall). My doctor does not want me on them but I cannot function with the pain. Doctor is so scared that I will die if I take too many even though I would never abuse them. I have tried acupuncture, cortisone shots and most of anything that would ease the pain but Oxycontin does the job. BUT they take a long time to kick in."


"I had a YI probably in 2011 used monistat 1 so it can be a quicker process and hated it. It came right out of me and burned like hell. I immediately showered to get it off me. But it still burned. So now 2015 I have a YI I bought the same medication because I don't have time for a 3/7 day process. Already prepared myself for the worst. I had a rag waiting just in case it came out even layed a towel down to sleep under me but It didn't come out. I showered 1st and made sure I inserted it as far as possible. I slept through the night normal. And best part no irritation or burning. This time I took the vaginal test 1st to see if it was a YI and it was. Maybe that has a factor on it as well. But I am so pleased 2nd time around."


"I had a huge problem with underarm sweating.  I would sweat and have visible wetness under my shirt 5 minutes after putting it on. This product has changed my life. I feel completely dry now. I can wear different colors and not have to worry about wetness. I used to actually switch out napkins under my arms to stop the sweating. Once your body gets used to this product, you only have to apply it once a month or so (sometimes even less, like every 2 months in my experience) this product is like a wonder product."


"This did nothing for the cramping and pain. In fact, I had horrible GI gas and stomach issues while taking it. I thought I had a stomach virus but when I stopped the Pyridium, the stomach distress went away."


"I just started using celebrex a few days ago.i was taking 1600-3200 mg daily for severe knee pain. It barely helped, and I have had stomach ulcers, so my pcp recommend this med. It's only  helped a little but,but I'd like to give it a few months. Today I woke up feeling sick.i have a hot, flushed face and just feel terrible. and I have not been feeling well lately anyway and have wheezing and a cough ..but i hope this isn't a side effect."


"I've been taking dox for 3 months and I'll be stopping soon because I was only prescribed for 3 months. At first I thought it would not work but I kept taking it and after 1 and a half month my face cleared. There was no acne on my face anymore, and even tho when it is my time of the month I don't get acne. But be sure to take full meal before taking it, I think I threw up 3 times because I forgot to take it after I had eaten. My only problem now is that I hope after I stop the acne won't come back anymore. Fingers crossed."


"I must say that viavarin has been a life saver.  I only take one tablet at a time, could not imagine taking 2.  It gives me approximately 4-6 hours of predictable energy. I feel when it kicks in and I know when I am coming down.  If I have a long day I take one early and one later but I usually cannot sleep if I have 2 in my system.

Being a student...it really helps me focus. And personally I don't like the NoDoz, they take a longer time to kick in and thus, longer to wear off."


"I went on Nortrel 1/35 at the age of 21 to regulate my periods, make them more manageable, less painful every month and to clear up my skin. During the first week I was extremely sad to the point where I was crying every day for no reason. I remained on the pill for a year and even though the first week was the worst with mood swings I remained emotionally sensitive throughout the whole duration of taking the pill. It helped clear up my skin within a few months and also made my periods more manageable as well as predictable. After a year though I broke out with erythema multiform all over my body due to a sensitivity to progesterone (that's the current diagnosis). I am now in the process of considering another birth control to balance it out."


"I can't remember a time that I didn't have RLS, I finally went to the doctor when it got so bad that I couldn't sleep at night. I tried every home remedy and no relief. I've been on 2 mg for several years. My friends tell me I'm a different person since taking ropinirol. I'm not grumpy anymore in the morning, thanks to SLEEP.  I can't nap ever because of rls so I really need my sleep at night. I take the pill at 830 and have zero side affects."


"I was prescribed Beyaz a year ago to control my acne and regulate my periods. I was experiencing acne like never before and was having 2 periods one month then none the next. Beyaz did work. It cleared up my acne 100%. However, it made my periods very light, inconsistent, and only 3-4 days long. Call me crazy, but I miss having 7 day, consistent periods. With Beyaz my periods are so light, tampons are painful to use and pads are too much protection. But I have to wear something; I have unexpected bursts/flows during those 3-4 days. My periods also don't start until the last day of the pack. I've had to skip the last pill just so that my period would start. Maybe Beyaz is too strong for my cycle, but it did wonders for my acne."


"So far, I've been on three different kinds of birth control this month. I switched to Sprintec about 4 months ago, because it was cheap. My skin started breaking out, my periods were heavy and my emotions were out of control. I cry all the time and fight with my boyfriend."


"I have not been on Tramadol for long but have already experienced stomach issues and very little relief for the pain involved from my torn meniscus!"


"Smoked for 20 years, quit for 4 years, smoked again for 7 years.....that's a lot of smoking!  I almost died in 2010 after having surgery and having a clot break loose and lodge in my lungs.  That scared me, yet I continued to smoke.  I need to have another surgery, but I told my Dr that I won't even discuss it until I've quit smoking first.  Today is day #250 since I started Chantix.  I'm still amazed at how easy it's been.  I had purchased an E-cigarette a couple of years ago.  The battery is dead and there's no nicotine oil in the filter, but I use it when I feel the need to smoke.

I've offered to pay for the medication whenever my son decides that he's ready to quit too. (fingers crossed)"


"Worked right away - overnight took away all redness and stopped ALL the itching... what a huge relief.... GREAT PRODUCT"


"When I was in middle school I started experiencing hyperhydrosis of the underarms. I don't remember how I first came across Drysol, but it made such a huge difference in my life! I could wear ANY SHIRT I wanted! It definitely caused some itching/stinging of the underarm area if I applied it within 24 hours of shaving, so follow the directions. The day after the first use, my underarms were 100% sweat free. I used it for three consecutive nights, and after that I only needed to re-apply once a week, and eventually once a month, and so on. Today, I haven't used it in at least 8 years but I still don't have any underarm sweat. It basically deleted my axillary sweat glands. Hallelujah."


"I took three. 1 in the morning, 1 around 1 p.m. and the nausea didn't stop so I took another one. My doctor said I should take 1 before every meal and 2 before bed or as needed. The label says take 2 pills before meals.
My point being it made me feel horrible. It made me feel drugged up. I didn't want to move, I felt like I want to throw up and go #2 and just get out of my body. I'm never taking that again. Its 9:30 pm and I still feel drugged up. This drug is an antihistamine and messes with your brain. I should've read about it before taking it. Although I'm 8 weeks pregnant and nauseous all day and my Dr said it is given to all OB patients so I trusted him."


"I used to take the Depo shot but wanted something to clear my skin. These reviews scared me! My first week on the pack I broke out a little bit more than usual and was very moody, I kept telling myself that its my body getting used to the hormones. And sure enough, after my first week my skin is clear (a few blemishes from sleeping with makeup on) my mood is great, just like its always been, and intimacy with my boyfriend isn't a problem. I'm not experiencing the vaginal dryness. I'm starting my second pack and I'm glad I gave this a try. Ladies, take Vitamin A daily, 10,000 IU this should help with the skin clearing! Best of luck!"


"Went to the ER with severe coughing, chest pains and fever. After Xrays, CT scan and blood tests, I was diagnosed with pneumonia. The doc started me on Levaquin via IV and gave me a 5 day dose of 750mg. I am on day 4 and feel SO much better! Still coughing a little, but nothing compared to before!"


"I have been taking the extended release tablets of Oxycontin for degenerative spine disease for about 1 1/2 years. I had been through so many different pills, therapy, surgeries, etc. I actually got my life back. I was able to do my housework, do some (limited) activities with my child and most of all work. I am only 47 and cannot believe my life has become a continuous back issue. If it weren't for this medication I would be on disability. I too, am tired of the bad rap people get for being prescribed this medication. The stigma associated with this medication is horrific. It is embarrassing enough that I have this disease and have to rely on medication, but it keeps me productive in society. I refuse to go on disability."


"I'm a 43 YO F. Started Sat, 4/2/16. Was at 233 & am down to 213.8 6-weeks later. Takes some adjustment getting used to the med & new lifestyle. Experienced nausea, constipation & body shakes, but went away at full dose. Full dose is when weight started dropping fast. I will experience nausea if I eat greasy/fatty foods so I avoid them. Track my calories. Reevaluated eating habits & make better decisions.  It stopped my cravings & makes me eat small portions. Practice moderation. Not a miracle pill, takes commitment & dedication to healthy lifestyle. lNS doesnt cover but the Scale Down program makes it $70 to start. Not sure how you can review a drug fairly the first week.  There's going to be adjusting & for me it's been worth it."


"I started taking Citalopram about 6 months ago when I began having severe anxiety and panic attacks. I had been under a lot of stress in all aspects of my life and was also having trouble sleeping.  I just wanted to run and hide.  I was scared of everything to the point I had difficulty even driving.  I was afraid of losing my job because I just couldn%u2019t function normally.  Today I feel like myself again and can sleep all night. I do not plan to quit taking Citalopram anytime soon.  I do on occasion still have panic attacks, but it is very rare and my doctor recommended 0.5mg of Alprazolam on those rare occasions and increased my citalopram dosage from 20mg to 30mg.  I expect the new dosage to end all panic attacks."


"With this pill I don't have issues of breakthrough bleeding or nausea as I had with others.  This pill does decrease my sex drive however."


"taking wean down dosage over six days after being treated for Quincy abscess of a tonsil. The drug relieved the pain so that I was able to talk and swallow again within 8 hours of injection IV. Out of the hospital by a day on the wean down pills I notice former inflammation of bursitis of hip,knee and golfers elbow are being relieved also.  The only adverse side effect I now notice is near insomnia but I feel so well again and energetic. 3 days on the drug now and will end by taper down in 4 more days. 1.5mg pills at first two at a time twice per day."


"Entocort is used as a bridge therapy to settle severe flares.  It brings almost complete relief within  2-3 days but it's just temporary as you can't stay on this drug for long periods of time."


"After about 18 months of 28 day LAR injections, I started having joint and back pain. I believe this is actually fairly common. I've asked who has this on various support group web sites.... lots of people!  One person had it start up after their first injection. However, more respondents had it start after a year or more. The main location of my pain is in the hips. I've been to several ortho doctors who say I do not have but a slight bit of arthritis in my hips- certainly not enough to warrant hip replacement & in the range of an average amount for my age..... the lower back pain started prior to hips.
It has been deduced that the pain must be a side effect of the Sandostatin-  after x-rays, bone scans, MRI's, CT-etc.. nothing looks abnormal"


"I started having some problems maintaining an erection at age 56.  I'm in excellent health, take no meds, and stay in very good shape.  Getting the erection wasn't the problem, but it started to peter out :) after 5 or so minutes and eventually return with a lot of effort.  Well, that's NO fun. I actually have had excellent results cutting a 5mg tab in half, and taking every three days.  I've had results up to 4 days between doses.  This stuff is amazing.  I've had no aches as some have reported, and just a touch of nasal congestion, but since I have allergies, I'm always just a tiny bit stuffy anyway.  If I wasn't looking for it, I probably wouldn't notice the congestion.  Anyway, a true miracle."


"I was a little apprehensive about using Chantix, but I'm glad I did. After 50 years of smoking, I am smoke free. The first week, I cut down to half a pack of cigarettes, 2nd week I lit a cigarette and put it right out...smoke free ever since.  No side effects at all. At times I think of a cigarette, but that fast the thought leaves.  I recommend this to all smokers who want or have to quit.  Today, 8/21/09 is my 5th smoke free week!  So far, just the first 4 weeks on Chantix worked, I don't feel as though I need to renew.  Time will tell.  Thanks!"


"I'm thrilled with Cosentyx!! My doctor made me try the other one, Taltz, and I got horrible injection site reactions from it. Cosentyx started clearing my skin after the first injection and by a month, I was almost clear for the first time in years! Swimsuit here I come!! Oh and their plan brings my copay to zero and it's not based on my income. Did I say I love this medicine??"


"I recently had my tonsils out and the medication they gave me makes me extremely nauseous especially while being in the car. I stopped at target to get something on a long car drive and I was told not to get Dramamine but to try Emetrol by the pharmacist. When I got back in the car, I took it and I didn't have nausea for the rest of the night! (4:30pm-2am). This stuff is great and really works. It is very sugary but it does the trick."


"i am using victoza about 6 weeks and its a magic medicine, i am taking .6 every morning and my appetite is under control, i am really watching my diet and healthy controlled portions helped me to loose 14Kg in 6 weeks.. facing the side effects Nausea, dizziness,but it worth facing it because i am really fed up of my wight problem, i don't have to use Insulin injection any more.. and my sugar levels are between 115 - 140 fasting and 160-190 after meal.. I will continue with Victoza..."


"I'm just finishing my first month of Sprintec and at the moment I absolutely hate it! I'm in so much pain I can hardly move its just horrid! I'm also very emotional ALL the time ( I just cried because a noise startled me) in the beginning I also experienced horrible migraines that all I wanted to do was stay in the dark, but thats nothing new since being on this pill considering I just want to lay in bed all day anyway. My experience with sprintec has not been a good one"


"I was finally prescribed this medicine after convincing my DR that all my symptoms pointed to hypothyroidism.  Since it considered subclinical at this point, he didn't want me to take medicine at all.

I was eating hardly anything (no appetite - less than 1000 calories), exercising only 2 days a week because I was so tired even after sleeping 8 hours and still gaining weight.  On the weekends, I could accomplish a couple of things and then had to rest for a couple of hours.  My feet were so dry.  My joints hurt so bad it was hard to walk.  Life had become icky. I have been on this medicine for a little over 2 weeks and feel like my old self again.  I am not dieting, stopped gaining weight and can exercise 5 days a week. YEAH!"


"Been on it for 4 weeks, started of with the meanest night sweats like somebody threw a bucket of water on me, my appetite is more controlled meaning I get full fast, and when I first started I had the worst fatigue ever but everything is fine now just dull cramps every here and there."


". I'm currently 15 yrs old and and this is the second add/adhd meds I've been on. In highschool I feel that it's very important to succeed. Due to me going untreated for my entire childhood, I dropped out. I'm back in school now and it's been 2 years. If it gets to the point where you want to drop out I suggest add medication. But if you have a 3-10 year old I highly don't suggest it. When my brother was 4-7/8 he was on it. He would always try to kill me and my mother. He would hurt animals and kids at school. He was quiet and had no emotion or expression. Tried to kill himself many times. To this day he is now 18 and 5'8 when he is supposed to be over 6ft because our genes. Highly do not recommend unless this is the last resort for a child"


"I have been on this for a month and a half. Until reading the reviews I did not realize why I have been so angry, moody, and depressed. I did not even think about that as a side effect.
I have had a period for two weeks, I am soo mad. I started the pill to have sex, not be able to. I also leave for a cruise in a few days. I am sooo mad."


"I've been taking this for 27 years, 50 mg a night and except for a few flare-ups, I've been virtually pain free.  I find that it really depends what manufacturer the druggest purchases it from.  Strange but true.  I highly recommend this medicine."


"Was diagnosed in Oct 2014 with endometrial stroma sarcoma and put on Letrozole 2.5 mg (UK).  Small tumours near my liver have now disappeared and the main tumour has shrunk from 2.7 to 1 cm.  Side effects have been very bad from nausea, dizziness, aches and pains (sometimes from head to toe), stiffness in all the joints, brain fog and tiredness.  Yes, some days you wonder if it is worth it but then you look at the family and decide there is no option but to keep fighting.  Taking loads of supplements and herbs which have helped somewhat and acupuncture.  The insomnia is very hard to deal with - nothing seems to help at all with that.  Now having a 4 month break. Oncologist suggested 1 month but after 1 month the effects are still there."


"(Female/moderate acne) I have suffered from acne since I was 12. This summer has been the worst for my face. I have acne all over my forehead and my cheeks. In the beginning of the summer I had small tiny bumps all over my forehead and my cheeks, that later became bigger. I've used many, many products on my face that worked quite a bit to not working at all. Then in the beginning to July I started using Retin-A 0.025 cream. The first week showed great results on my forehead my forehead is now clear, but my cheeks became worse. This second week that I am currently in is what I guess is the purge, my cheeks are entirely red and covered in acne. I don't want to go outside and my cheeks really hurt. Will keep updating, Not losing hope."


"I was diagnosed with osteoporosis at age 47. After completing 2 years of Forteo treatment, I had an infusion of Reclast in Oct. 2014. I didn't experience any side-effects from the drug. I walk five to seven times a week, take a monthly RX Vitamin D tablet, and ensure enough daily calcium with almond milk and supplements. My bone scan of 12/2015 show a -1.3 T Score. I'm back in the osteopenic range - and very happy."

"Altogether Trinessa wasn't a bad option for me.  The only issue I had with the pills is that every 6th day into a new pack I would experience a horrible headache with an aura (blurred vision)  My gyno claimed that had something to do with the amount of estrogen I already had in my body and Trinessa just added even more which resulted in this odd ocular migraine.  Due to the headaches and their effect on my driving, school, and work my gyno and I decided to give the Nuvaring a shot.  I just started it so I'll see how I feel on this.  The pills always worked fine for me.  I didn't experience any weight gain or mood swings.  One thing that I did experience was a HUGE sex drive.  My boyfriend could hardly keep up."


"I have taken these tablets before and they really helped me on my path to weight loss. The doctor gave me 3 months supply I lost a stone and a half then proceeded to lose a further 2 stone myself over the following 2 years slow but taught me portion and fat control and that was with barely any exercising apart from the odd burst of power walks with friends during summer months. So after just having a baby 3 months ago I lost 2 stone instantly in first 2 weeks but due to the section I'm suffering joint pain and tiredness so unable to exercise properly the doctor has given me orlistat/xenical again. It's my first week weigh in tomorrow and I've already lost 6lb in 6 day's and trust me I've not starved just ate more sensibly."


"I got my first Skyla in February 2014 just months after it was released to the public. I had previously been on oral contraceptives as well as Nuvaring. My natural period is extremely heavy, and lasts typically 21 days. None of the oral medications or the Nuvaring gave me the results I was looking for in controlling my heavy and lengthy period. I was skeptical Skyla would help, but was open to giving it a try. I'm so happy I did because my experience has been amazing! When it was inserted it did hurt, and I was in my bed the next two days with severe cramps. I experienced spotting for the first two months, but once the spotting and the pain went away it was amazing! I got my second Skyla today--three years later.  I highly recommend it."


"I've been using this medicine because I have a very large kidney stone. Unfortunately I'm caught between a rock and a hard place.  If I stop the medicine, passing the stones could be painful. But the side effects I'm having are just about as bad. I have to monitor my food intake because Flexeril makes me nauseous all the time. If I eat the wrong food or don't keep food on my stomach I throw up.  When I was in the hospital I couldn't figure out why I threw up all the time. I'm not on any other medicines at the moment and this has to be the cause.  In the evening, just before I take the medicine again I've noticed the nausea is gone and I start to feel better.  But it all comes back with a vengeance once I take that pill again."


"Works really well for me. I have COPD with frequent bronchitis. This medicine seems to thin the mucus and makes it much easier to get up. Stopped my dry hacking cough"


"This birth control was not that good. It made me get severe migraines and the periods were too light. Cramps were horrible."


"I had clear skin up until about age 18 when I went on birth control and my skin got pretty out of control. I'm 20 now and finally went to the doctor. They gave me Atralin and 14 days of 100mg doxycycline once daily. I've been using Atralin for about 2-3 weeks now, I started seeing results immediately. My skin did get a little dry and flaky, but finding a good moisturizer really helped that. I quit using Atralin for about a week after getting really sick and I did break out with some whiteheads once I started applying it again. Those went away pretty quickly though. This stuff is AMAZING. I look forward to using it every night and I don't get upset when I look in the mirror anymore! Definitely recommend this! I love it!!"


"I started using Neurontin this summer. I was not able to function when my vulvodynia flared up, so many hours and days were spent lying on the couch in pain. Neurontin kicks in pretty fast and helps me be able to be productive. I would be lost without its help!"


"My primary gave me a prescription for tramadol after an ER visit from a sports injury. ER gave me a narcotic which caused stomach pain and very depressed feeling the next day. I am very active physically everyday 5k, 18 holes of golf, swimming on a consistent basis, not all in one day .I must say tramadol is great because it does not slow me down. I take it in afternoon and it keeps me pain free all night. If I stop it, very mild side effects a little like flu symptoms that do not last more than a day. Warning do not take an SSRI with other depression meds or benzodiazepines because it can cause heart problems and cause an acute crisis of heart failure."


"I was in the hospital suffering from post lumbar puncture headache and nausea/severe vomiting. IV Zofran did nothing, IV Reglan did nothing, only the IV Compazine gave me relief. Granted as soon as it ran out I started up again, but at least it allowed me a few hours of peace to sleep."


"About 20 years ago, I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder.  After a year or so on Desipramine, my shrink switched me to Paxil.  I've been taking 20mg/day for years now.  It saved my life.  About 10 years ago, after moving to a different State, I slowly weaned myself off Paxil at the suggestion of my former primary care physician.  In less than one year, I started having panic attacks again.  Long story short:  I'm on Paxil 20 mg/day for life.  It doesn't not make sense to suffer with Panic Disorder."


"Along with Phenergan, it is the only thing that helps with the migraines I get (about twice a month now). The Phenergan cream (a compound made by a pharmacy in my area) keeps the medication down by helping stop or control the vomiting I get with migraines."


"I was prescribed Contrav yesterday and just took a pill about three hours ago. I started feeling nauseous an hour ago and literally as I was reading these reviews, I threw up all of my insides it felt like. Cleaned myself up and now im writing my own review. I will definitely try again tomorrow with these pills in perception of maybe this is just day one reaction. However, if the same nauseousness occurs on day 2 then I'm done. Can't afford to be sick with the schedule that I have. Pros are, it definitely suppresses my thought of hunger."


"Headaches: Problem solver."


"My doctor informed me that out of every 10 women that get this implant it only agrees with 2. The spotting has been on and off the whole time. The worst part is that the bleeding is not the worst side effect. Not even the bad breakouts in my skin (which is also a pain!). It's the mental issues that have ensued that have been the biggest burden. In the past month I have noticed a big decline in my mood. I get highly irritated over the smallest things and I'd break out into tears over everything. I've cried every day for the past 5 days in a row and I'm physically and mentally exhausted. The depression is too much. I am only realising now that this is out of my character and the implant is probably the cause. The cons far outweigh the pros."


"Ladies!!!  Do yourself a favor and stop reading these.  Everybody is different and we all have different insertion experiences.

I just got mirena inserted this morning. I am 24 years old and I've never had a baby. I was extremely nervous, as this was my second attempt at inserting mirena. I went last week and my cervix was too tight so they sent me home with a prescription that was to be put in my vagina the next week before I go in again. The second time (this morning) was a lot easier. Yes, it does hurt a bit but nothing I couldn't handle. Honestly the worst part for me was the cramps afterwards. I had bad cramps for about 5 minutes and ended up throwing up. After that I felt much better."


"This medication can be dangerous but it works REALLY well.
I used it to treat stomach motility. I've been admitted in the ER many times during flare ups (severe nausea/vomiting/no sleeping/misery that would last for days) and as soon as I would get it through and IV, I would feel so good! So it's a miracle drug when it comes to treating nausea/vomiting.
I took only 10mg, because of the warnings and only took it at night and if I needed it (if I ate something that would not digest)
It worked really well to manage gastroparesis. I started to function, gain weight, eat food.
Then after 6 months I woke up one day and my speech was slurred, and I was losing fine motor control, couldn't write or text, so I had to stop taking it."


"I'd like to say that Claravis is just amazing but I'm having mixed feelings now, this will be third session on this medication. I'm 19 yrs old and my weight is close to 100 pds, I started this medication when I was 17, and then I was taking 80 mg a day and I felt fine and it was a complete life change for me to have clear skin but then months later it returned...to make a long story short, the more I take this medication the more sick I feel, I've developed acid reflex, muscle spasms, muscle aches and flushing skin."


"I used to be on Orhro Tri-cyclen until it made me an emotional basket case. I then switched to Junel Fe 1/20 and I felt completely normal again. I took a year break and two months ago I began to notice I was getting acne like a teenager again, I'm 30. Mostly hormonal, jaw and chin area.  I decided to get back on it again. I've been on it for almost 2 months and my acne cleared up. 2 weeks into it I noticed bloating, and breast swelling. I also noticed I went up 3lbs. However all that went away my 2nd month in. I'm back to my normal weight, no more swelling in the stomach area, although my breasts are fuller than usual. These were my only symptoms. If this happens to you give it 2 months at least for your body to get adjusted."


"I have problems falling asleep and staying asleep. Halcion works really well and I have been taking 0.25mg once a night for the past 5 years and I have never needed to increase the dose. I sometimes only take half a pill and it works okay. I've tried ambien and lunesta but they didn't work as well. I have noticed memory problems and short term memory loss over the years and think it may be caused by the long term daily use but I'd rather get good sleep. Insurance only covers 10 pills so I just pay out of pocket to get 30 pills."


"This made me so tired that I had to stop taking it.  I felt drugged 20 minutes after taking it (I took it at night) and then I was groggy the entire next day.  Plus, the first night that I took it I woke up with a migraine that wouldn't go away after my Imitrex Statdose injection.  So now my doctor put me on a beta blocker.  It makes me a little dizzy but I can actually function!!  Guess it works for some people but I couldn't drive and there's no way I could go to work on this..."


"I was prescribed this for a kidney infection.   I took one dose.  With that dose I felt so sick to my stomach, had horrible anxiety, my face felt hot and I felt sweaty. My calves of my legs also felt sore.  I stopped after that first dose because I felt so awful and read some pretty scary side effects!   I went to a different Dr and he put me on doxy which is much safer."


"Give Trulicity at least 4 weeks. I like many others experienced upset stomach, nausea and fatigue the first month where symptoms decreased each week. The nausea was quick and unexpected and I wanted to throw in the towel. I'm now on week 6 and feel fine most of the time. The fatigue is still there sometimes but it's been manageable. This has been the best medicine for me by far. I  am on the low dose .75 and also take metformin 500 mg twice daily. I find the best time to take my shot is at night before I go to bed and I only take 1- 500 mg of metformin the day after the shot, where the side effects were more active. I was on Kombiglyze SR that had 2000mg of metformin. It did not work for me. My numbers are finally below 120 with trulicity."


"I'm 15, and I have only taken 8 pills, so I'm on my eighth day. So far, I feel no different, except for 2 things. My sex drive has actually increased. (I don't know if its teenage hormones or the birth control) and my breasts are more sensitive. I haven't noticed any mood changes. Before this pill, I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo but had to stop taking it because it made me *so* upset within the first 4 days. I love this pill, I feel like myself on it. "


"This is a good medication to take for pain, when you can acquire it. Right now it is rather difficult to get my prescriptions filled. "


"This medicine helps me a lot I can get up do what I need to do I have energy I'm very positive on this medication thank you"


"Epiduo works GREAT. I had terrible acne, I HATED it. Epiduo has worked wonders, even though it's not completely gone yet, it has helped so much and I'm so happy."


"Took it for a month. It caused a great deal of anxiety, sweating, and nausea. "


"Simcor 1000-20 is what I take one time a day at bed time. I have experienced side effects but the good out weighs the bad. Make sure you don't have spicy foods or peppers that are HOT. This will cause flushing. Also make sure you read all about the side effects like you can't have eat certain foods."


"Have been on Daliresp for one month now, no problems and seems to help.  Can feel a difference in my shortness of breath.  So far so good."


"Doesn't seem to have much effect. Relief only lasts a very short period of time and I cannot take more before my pain is back."


"I would highly recommend this product. It takes about a week to kick in and it clears my skin up so well. I still breakout around my period, but other than that if you use it like you're supposed to it worked for me! I was really depressed and did everything I could to find acne treatments, and I'm very happy with the results so far!"


"I was prescribed seroquel xr for Bipolar depression My dr started me on 50mg and I am gradually increasing the dosage its been about 4 weeks and I am currently taking 200 mg I will agree that it has helped the hopelesness feelings  and suicidal thoughts  Which is a plus but the zombie like feeling and dry mouth are tough  I have a job that requires constant activity its hard to keep up have to definitely slow down  My Dr advised me that these side affects are all normal and eventually I will get used to it can't wait for this to happen"


"After reading the previous reviews I wasn't expecting much. Boy was I wrong! This has been the best three months that I have had in sixteen years. I'm alert, full of energy, strong enough to carry daily activities. I can play with my eight grandchildren, participate in spiritual activities, etc. I feel like someone has turned on a switch to my life. Best of all my insurance covered it. No need for naps any more."


"I took 1 tablet of Atarax last night for my HIVES. I asked for an anti-histamine that can also help me to sleep bcos I have not been sleeping for 4 nights straight due to the itchiness from my hives. So this was suggested by my doctor. I managed to sleep through the night for over 9 hours - the alarm didn't manage to wake me until my 2nd super loud alarm! I was awake BUT I wasn't really AWAKE! I felt like I can doze off any second. Unless you want to sleep thru 24-hours maybe this is good for you but I won't be taking it the 2nd time. I felt horrible for the whole day! My mind was not functioning, I felt groggy, not alert at all, walk like zombie, it was just bad for me. I like to feel AWAKE! Not like this. My suggestion: Take with CAUTION!"


"I had to let you know the AMAZING result I'm having with Victoza. At my highest was at 275lbs at 5'2" and talking Actos and still not losing even with diet and exercise. I have fibromyalgia so exercise is not easy and something I can do. So I walk and watch what I eat. My super smart PCP changed me to Victoza about 6 months ago and I was very hesitant at first. Oh gosh shots everyday like insulin! NO! After the first 30 days I dropped 8 to 10 lbs and was doing the same thing as before. Just had another check tonight and am up to a loss of 37lbs! And this was even through the holidays. This product has turned my life around."


"I started Remeron as an add on to Lamictal.  Since then, I've had swelling of legs. Loss of weight. Abnormal dreams (nightmares)  and wake up with palpitations about 2 hours after taking. I've had to take antibiotics every month for sinus infection and urinary tract infection. No help with depression after 1 year and just want off this medicine. Have pain in liver area too.
That's at 15mg. Also,  muscle pain and arthritis symptoms."


"3rd month review, the first 60 plus days was very long with the spotting.. My periods was a little longer lasting about 7 to 8 days they were normally but lighter then I usually experience. On about that 54th day of spotting it just stopped. No spotting, no bleeding, I still kept on a liner because I was not sure if I should trust what was going on. Right around the 80th day I started feeling tender breast, light cramping, and having to get up more in the middle of the night to go take pee…. Wired.  On or about the 90th day I saw spotting again in time for my normal cycle to begin, it was just that spotting, nothing else, I could only see it when I wiped and I only needed to wear a liner This lasted for 3 days. I'm sure the spotting has stopped"


"Condom came off inside of me and he finished inside of me. This happened during my ovulation. Took the pill December 22 and on December 29 one week later I did start to bleed out a light period which I wasn't due for until January 7ish. I didn't have another normal period until March 3. I took several pregnancy tell just to confirm and all were negative. This pill did make me fatigued. This was my first time ever using emergency contraception."


"Been on 10/320 for over a year. Has controlled a stubborn high blood pressure to a manageable 125 -.  Have cough, numbness which no one will attribute to the drug."


"I have had severe pain in my ears and behind left eye for 10 + yrs now. I've seen my family Dr and 2 ear specialists. Nothing can be explained or found wrong. In 2016, I was diagnosed with GERD.   The med made me sicker. Then was told to rake ranitidine.  At first it was hard , one pill every 12 hrs. So careful of food intake day and night. Then after 6 months of ranitidine , I noticed I haven't had any ear pain or eye pain. I now take ranitidine about every 18 hrs and notice the ear and eye pain creeping up. Though ranitidine does help immensely, it's the ear pain or lack of that ranitidine has cured. Who knew  ****"


"I've been dealing with a YI for a few days and I rarely get them. They suck, and I don't have the money for a doctor visit right now; so I figured "just try a OTC medicine".
I bought it last night and popped it in there, it was a one day suppository. I was fine and fell asleep. I woke up this morning and my underwear was weirdly soaked, like, I thought maybe I wet myself for a second, but then I assumed it was the medicine doing it's job. When I stood up, I had liquid just running down my legs. Then..Then.. The  BURNING. Holy moly it felt like it was flaming . I jumped right into the shower and shot water at my vagina to help soothe this insanity. I've never dealt with OTC YI medication before, but never again. Never. It's been three hours of burning."


"This is the ONLY medicine that helps with my pain!"


"I hate to scare people but I was one of the unlucky few that had depression and suicidal thoughts on this. It took about 4 days to notice any change but when it came it hit me like a brick wall. I felt fuzzy and severely depressed, even more so when I got my diagnosis. I couldnt help squinting my eyes for some reason I felt far away and distant and very, very down. Prior to this I was upbeat and positive about starting meds. I told my doc and he weaned me off by giving me 2 pills of Truvada and I felt a difference the very next day. I plan to start Stribild soon as it is not known to have any major psychiatric side effects. I wouldn't recommend for anyone with a history or depression or mental illness. Wish me luck!"


"I don't have acne any more and it made my face so clear that everyone asks me what did I do to my face."


"I take the usual dose for degenerative disc disease of shoulders and spine, which can cause a lot of pain. This medicine doesn't seem to do much - perhaps it takes too long to act and I have trouble noticing it.  The side effects of gastrointestinal distress is bad for me, as it seems to worsen my GERD. "


"I've had constipation problems for years. It runs in my family. About ten years ago I had to have major hemorrhoid surgery, both internal and external, and things have been going downhill since. After having kidney stones and the doctor could not see them on X-rays because of impaction in my intestines my urologist suggested Miralax. I had taken Ducolax, two different types of laxatives but was made sick each time because both produced violent reactions but both worked well. Miralax was the answer. A miracle."


"Update: I went to my Dr. on Monday morning I was down 8 lbs. woohoo, and my Dr. said I was doing great! By the time my husband and I hit Hawaii I should be down 50 lbs! Now that is exciting! I'm losing about 2 - 2.5 lbs. a week. This is good, very good. I already notice a difference in me even if no one else can. Very excited!"


"Update, I have been on Contrave for a full 3 weeks now. So far I have lost 10lbs! I am going to start taking 2 pills in the morning and also at night. I still have some stomach cramping some times but I have to remember to drink lots of water to calm that down, it makes me feel better. I do have some insomnia but not in an exhausted kind of way. I am still able to continue with my busy career. I have also experienced constipation, but I've started taking in more fiber to combat that issue. So far I continue to feel full and food continue to be blah. I'm still eating healthy did try carbs twice but it was hardly anything. At Easter I did have a few pieces of candy but was able to stop after a few pieces. Will continue to update."


"I've been taking birth control regularly since I was 17 and this is by far my worst experience (I've been on 6 different pills that I can remember). Within the first month and a half I gained 12 pounds which has never been a problem before on any other b.c. The pills did nothing to help with the cramping that comes with a period, or with my endometriosis pain. All and all I was completely dissatisfied with this medication. The only "positive" here is that I didn't get pregnant while on this medication."


"My experience with this drug is rather odd. I got good relief from 25 mg, felt even better at 50, 75 also good. Then BAM when I increased to 100 mg I began feeling super depressed and very very anxious. Went back down to 75 mg. It's too bad really - because I know It's working - I just can't reach a therapeutic dosage..
Also I've had lots of side effects - most of which has all disappeared: no appetite BUT always hungry (lost 4 kg), itching, a small rash which went away, hypomania right after an increase, uncontrolled eye rolling, numbness in my face, constant throat clearing and constant blinking of my eyes, acid reflux. When I switched from the generic to the brand name Lamictal a lot of these side effects went away."


"I have been taking Buspar for almost a week.  My doctor prescribed it for my Anxiety - mainly my constant agitation.  I must say that I have been sleeping better and I feel somewhat better.  I take Buspar 15mg - Once a day."


"The day one two pills does tend to wipe out the bacteria in my gut.  After having stomach issues on the first night of the first time, I do take a probiotic and one immodium at night.

First time I took this it wiped the infection in 48 hours. Second time 11 months later it did not work quite so well. Infection greatly decreased but did come back 5 days later.  I think part of the problem was that I still had a virus and mold allergy problems from rain as well as an infection so had trouble eliminating congestion.  I took a 5 day dosage and did have symptoms reoccur in a week. I do think it would have worked better if I had not had these additional issues related to a virus and allergies."


"Works well if you go straight to bed. If you stay up past 30 minutes you are fighting it. Just let the feeling hit you and go to bed.  I have taken two 10mg tabs in about 30 mins and apparently made constant calls to my wife at work. When she came home I asked her "What are you talking about?" I still have no memory of that incident. So now I only take 1 and try to go straight to bed. "


"I had the implant put in the beginning of November 2016. Within 3 weeks I had some spotting that lasted for two weeks but nothing since. My acne has gone away and I've had no major weight changes. I do feel slightly more emotional than normal but nothing over the top. I had some friends have similar side effects. Overall this is the best birth control I could have asked for!"


"I barely pulled out of this lady while having sex with her at a party this February and I threw down 40 dollars on plan b, she covered the other 10. Within 14 hours she took the pill. We had sex the day her period ended, and within two days of taking the pill she bleed for another week. She never told me anything until two weeks ago, but she got her period and it worked. I was so sketched out the whole time, I'm only 18. But it worked, have faith. Look at the positives."


"I have been having migraines for 3 years. I took a beta blocker that didn't work. Then got put on Depakote for migraines. I was on it for a month with no big migraines unless I had my trigger food. Then I realized I gained 5 pounds, was tried all the time and broke out like I had never been before. Medicine works for migraines but has terrible side effects. Had to stop taking"


"I absolutely love Loestrin 24. I was always skeptical about birth control that stops your period, but its amazing. Clear skin, lost a couple of pounds and no periods! I must admit I was a nervous wreck without my period the first month, bothered my Doctor about a pregnancy test and it was NEGATIVE."


"I've been sick with a fever for about two weeks & pregnant. I'm about halfway through this pregnancy. Long story short, after a Sat. spent in urgent care (they did nothing) I was sent to ER and diagnosed with a secondary infection (basically bronchitis on its way to pneumonia). At urgent care (before the ER) I complained about ear pain and pressure too, but urgent care is good for nothing. Anyway, they sent my report to the ER & ER gave me azithromycin & a breathing treatment bc I was wheezing.

1 pill left of my z pack. My chest is great and pretty much cleared up, but my sinuses are worse. On the right side of my face I have jaw pain, clogged ear, ear pain, stuffy nose, headache & fever. Going back to doc as z-pack isn't working 4 sinuses"


"I received my first dose of Depo in Feb 2016. For ELEVEN months, I had nonstop bleeding. Every. Single. Day. I continued to get the shot every 3 months with the hope it would eventually stop, since I had no other side effects. Didn't affect my weight at all, no mood swings, no acne changes, no change in sex drive, etc. I went against my OBGYN's advice to take estrogen pills to stop the bleeding, as I wanted to see if my body would adjust naturally and I had noticed that the bleeding was slowly subsiding month by month. Sure enough, after my fourth dose of the shot (Jan 2017), my period completely stopped. Now, March 2017, I have had no spotting. If you can deal with a possible year long period, the end results are worth it."


"Have had Nexplanon for a year.

Pros: No pregnancy, no daily pill, no headaches, no mood swings, no loss of sex drive, long stretches w/no period.

Cons: Terrible insertion experience, lengthy periods, weight GAIN!!!

Insertion - First off, getting this thing inserted was a nightmare. I had to go back about 4 times due to pain, infection and immobility in my arm. Now I have scars/keloids so bad I am considering a tattoo to cover them.

Cycle - Long stretches w/no period, but when I do get it, it lasts for 2 weeks-1 month!

Weight - Had Norplant for years and NO side effects. I heard of others having weight gain but I never did. With Nexplanon, I have gained 30 pounds and NOTHING I DO takes the weight off. Strongly considering getting it removed."

"I got Dilaudid 2mg I.V. after a painful procedure to relieve my back pain, because I woke from anesthesia with a lot of pain the doctor said give him 2(mg) of Dilaudid and 30(mg) of Toradol I had total pain relief with in 30-90 seconds! "


"After years of opiate pain medication for severe back trauma, I had to stop taking the meds as I felt myself not in total control.  Methadone has helped me stop taking the opiate pain meds, thank God!  It isn't a "wonder" drug, but it DOES control cravings and sickness."


"I've been on Apri for about a year now I had to start taking it at night because it made me feel very sick. I still feel sick in the morning and can't eat when I first wake up for the 1st week then that goes away. I do believe it decreased my sex drive because it has changed since I started taking this pill. The only plus to this pill is that I've had short periods that are very light and I know the day it will start and end. I just asked for a new birth control to try and I'll see how that goes! If it doesn't go well ill probably be returning to Apri."


"Had Botox age 68 in July 2015 after 2 days had to return to doctor and have Foley cath put in.  Doctor said leave cath in for a week return to office.  Went back still retaining so they put in another Foley cath.  Could do nothing with the bag strapped to my leg.  Went another 10 days.  Same thing.  Retaining up to 400.  Nurse taught me how to self cath.  Using 4 caths per day and only going a little on my own.  Finally after 6 months at check up only retaining about 20. So now I don't have to cath any more.  I was a perfect for the Botox but it did not work on me.  So now back on medication and dealing with OAB and accidents.  This treatment is not for everybody.  The side affects are awful."


"I am 46 and have had moderate adult acne for several years. In the past year, it changed to cystic acne and was getting worse and worse. My dermatologist prescribed Aczone and I have been on it for a little over 2 months. I have noticed no improvement at all, in fact the problem has worsened. Just when it looks like things are clearing up, I will get another cyst in the same place as before, making the scarring worse. I have given up on Aczone and will be starting Accutane/Isotetinoin in about a week."


"I have mild  Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) now, but it used to be quite severe, This is the only drug that removed my rest pain, I also got rid of most of the over and undershooting pain, and sensory disturbances have become less severe. This allowed me to focus on other things in life. Temperature disturbances have improved but I am unsure if this is linked.

I had some side-effects in the beginning, drowsy and like my tongue would twist and words came out wrong, but that slowly went away. I was at 3600 mg and now I am down to 1500"


"It's a miracle!! I've been struggling with performance anxiety since high school, and it has interfered with my life greatly. I actually enjoy the thought of public speaking, but I fear my own anxiety! Anytime I would speak in front of a crowd I would automatically go into a state with a pounding heart beat, sweaty and shaky hands, and a shaky voice. It was visibly uncomfortable to watch. I took 20mg of propranolol 4 hours before a speech I had to do for work, and 20mg more an hour before, and poof! All symptoms of anxiety were gone. I was still a little nervous right before the speech naturally, but once I got up there, it went so smoothly. No tremors, no fast talking, no pounding heart beat. I truly recommend this."


"I got the Nexplanon put in on August 2nd 2012. I didn't get my period until the next month and when I did it was for about twelve days. I get my period at random times. Before this my period was every 28 days but now I have no idea when it will start next. A couple of days after getting it inserted I had a backache for about two days and my hair was falling out; this lasted for a few weeks. Now I don't have any hair loss but around July 16, 2013 I started experiencing lower back pain. I get the pain every single day all day long. It's a dull ache that just lingers around. Overall the Nexplanon is very effective. Every woman's body is different; you just have to find the right birth control for yourself."


"I have a bulging disc in my thorasic region. I have been using Tramadol on and off for about 2 years. I have used lots of other pain relievers in the past. This pain reliever to me has very low side effects and I dont feel like I'm doped out like the other pills. The only bad thing is that I start taking only half a pill in the morning and now I need to take more just to relieve some of the pain. I dont really know what else to do. I have tried everything in the book except surgry and I heard thats not even that great. I will just stick to this drug for now."


"As a chronic sweater for over 20 years, the experience I had last week would probably best bring home how well this product works: after chaperoning my daughter's school Halloween party, I was actually able to put the tight-fitting cotton shirt I wore back in the closet for another day. No. Sweat, no odor, no nothing. THAT would never have been possible pre-Drysol. After one week of use (only applied three times), I still feel under my arms now and then, expecting the wetness to have returned, but I'm still as dry as the Sahara under there."


"Does wonders for pain! I've tried several other medications and have had the best results by far from Vicoprofen."


"I'm giving this pill an 8 because, for me, it had very minimal side effects. I didn't gain any weight, it cleared any blemishes, and experienced no mood swings/depression. However, I did experience SEVERE spotting and breakthrough bleeding, even after being on the pill for three months. My doctor told me to give my body three months to adjust and during my fourth month on this pill, I bled for the entire first week of my fourth pack! Therefore, it feels like I'm getting a period (or at least have to wear pads) twice a month.
The spotting is absolutely annoying and I'm strongly considering switching to another pill or just taking myself off of birth control entirely."


"I have an Arnold Chiari. And severe scolosis and ruptured disc at L4 L5. Vicodin is the only thing that gives me relief. I've tried just about every other pain pill out there and its been the best for me. Doctors in my area don't like to perscribe it because of the addiction issue. This really hurts the people who really need it."


"Uroxatral seems to work very well. Erections are sometimes difficult but a small dose of Viagra seems to take care of that problem, when it becomes a problem."


"I have three herniated discs in my lower back. I started taking Nucynta after I built up a tolerance of other pain killers (Codine, Hydrocodone, Oxycodone). If I take a whole pill, it puts me to sleep, the pain goes away but my face and neck itch, this can last 6 hours. I have found if I take half a pill, it takes the edge off the pain and there's no itching and I don't feel sleepy; I can work and even drive. I take these halves every 5 hours until I know the pain subsides.I'm on and off these pills; never had other side effects. I don't take them long enough (maybe 2-4 days) to get addicted."


"Stress/anxiety ...GERD...always occurs. Worst is the revolting acid in nose and throat, waking in the middle of the night. For around 20 years. Other medication, ineffective...discovered, eventually, that certain foods, plus stress.. guaranteed GERD....One excellent treatment proved to be "Lait ribot"..always a bottle of it available. It's sour milk, like very thin yogurt.  Eventually. ordinary milk, if drunk as soon as any symptoms occurred, stops a full on attack.. Best was to discover my own WORST gerd causing, foods, eg meat, bread, citrus fruits,   cider, etc.. But medication essential for stressful business trips, with unidentifiable foods.  Woke up at 2 am. Forgot the effect of cider! ..terrible acid.  Just.One  Pill! Gerd GONE!!!!"


"My husband used the patch for the first time to a long plane ride to Vegas.  He had put on a total of three patches for the duration of our trip there.   Upon returning home, he removed the patch and within 24 hours became violently ill.   Six days later he has lost ten pounds and gets out of bed only to go to the bathroom.   I believe when this patch is dispensed the physician or pharmacy should red flag the drug as far  as side affects go.   My suggestion is to use with extreme caution."


"I have been on birth controls for about 3 years. I started out on the shot, worked well but I didn't like not having a period and with my emotions I spotted all the time. The patch did not work for me (hated it). I'm 5'5" and weigh about 110, my weight has always been on the lighter side (and I can't gain it no matter what). For me I like the pill, I've been on it for about a year. I do have a low sex drive, I'm always dry, I did go up one cup size. Periods are on the lighter side and sometimes I don't have one. Since I have been on the pill, I feel sick more often, stomach pains, bloating, nausea, diarrhea, headaches, leg pains, vaginal pains, back pains, but its never constant so I usually dismiss it."


"I expressed I felt strongly I had an infection on my kidney or bladder and after she decided to test my urine she came back and said i made her a liar and there was infection still present after completing the Cipro. I was given Rocephin via IV, fluids, and CScan. Diagnosed with UTI and the infection was on my bladder. Gave me Nitrofurantoin and I've been sick as heck- chills, nausea, you name it! Going back and requesting Rocephin shot!"


"I took this drug after being prescribed it for a UTI. I read some reviews after feeling a little weird but figured I would push through. I called my doctor after taking two pills and the nurse told me to wait it out and see if it gets worse. Things got worse very quick. What began as a little bit of nausea, ended with body aches, leg cramps, intense chills, night sweats, dizziness, confusion, to fainting twice (terrifying), to getting a vaginal infection because of this drug.

My UTI symptoms have gotten better, but the pain from my VI is unbearable, and how I feel from this drug is terrible. NOT worth it...do not take this drug. P.S. I only got through taking FOUR pills, out of my prescribed ten. I am going to the doctor today, again.:("


"After years of struggling with severe sinus pain, feeling exhausted on a daily basis due to all my allergies I now feel absolutely brilliant like I have been given a new lease of life.  I wish I had been prescribed this years ago.  The spray doesn't taste as that bad you just need a glass of water to wash taste away if it goes down your throat.  Highly recommend people who have allergic rhinitis to ask for this nasal spray, this hasn't cost me anything due to NHS prescriptions in England Uk"


"I have been smoking for over 20yrs. I spoke with my doctor about using this medication because I was having difficulty breathing. I must admit I didn't think it would work, but it has! I have the occasional craving but I have gone from 2 packs a day to 1 cigarette a day! Thanks"


"I have been diagnosed with absence seizures for 6 years now, and have been taking Depakote ER.  I have been seizure-free for 4 years, but have had severe migraines on and off, usually more during times of intense stress.  My doctor prescribed me Tegretol to take as needed for them about a year ago, and it has always been 100% effective.  The only side effect is that it makes me very drowsy."


"I have been on Belviq for 2 months now. So far, I've lost 17 pounds. I started at 240. I am in my late 30's and have struggled with being overweight since I started working in the corporate world. I've noticed that I don't have the late night cravings that I used to have and I feel full after dinner up until the next morning. I used have the need to snack before bed, but that has gone away since I've been on Belivq. No side effects expect a dry mouth the first week or so. I also used to drink a six pack of beer on the weekends but I've noticed that I don't feel the urge to binge drink anymore.... and I feel great!"


"After a car accident where I suffered a head injury I had horrible insomnia worsened by pre-existing fibromyalgia. Nothing over the counter was working at all to help me sleep. My doctor put me on this. When it works, it's awesome. I cannot have any food on my stomach if I want this to work, though. I don't take it until I've washed my face, brushed my teeth & am actually in bed for the night. That's the trick! I hate that the FDA cut dosage by half for women- the lower dose doesn't work for me because I'm big/tall. Weight makes a difference in this meds case. Not everyone sleep-drives or sleepwalks on this."


"I have had my nexplanon for just over a year. The first 4 months were good, I still got my period on time, it wasn't as heavy, no cramping. After 4 months I clotted, it was disgusting and still do. It would happen for weeks at a time, stop for a few days and start up. I have completely lost my sex drive, it doesn't even appeal to me, my depression and anxiety is worse, and now I have horrible insomnia. Within the last month my cramping is horrible, I feel like I have cysts on my ovaries again. My bleeding is light but mostly clots. I hate this thing. I got it because I was unsure if my hubby and I would have anymore kids and we've decided not too. In two weeks I go see my doctor and I'm going to ask about permanent BC."


"Phentermine works great on curbing my appetite but causes my anxiety to kick in.  I work in an office and I don't feel very good on it. If I'm out and about its better.  I tried 1/4 and !/2 doses and about the same effects. Anyone relate of have comments or suggestions"


"Had been on the brand name for years. Drug was changed to generic and gave me really bad headaches. Had to stop using the medication, was not worth the pain it caused."


"It is my wonder pill."


"After suffering from bulimia for many years and not being able to control my binge eating I started taking Fastin. I only take 1 1/2 pills a day (I'm only 115 lbs and not looking for significant weight loss) and that is enough to help me fight my urge to stress eat. In fact when I was taking 2 pills a day I found myself forgetting to eat. I still feel a little jittery after taking them. "


"It improve my life a 100%."


"I have been on this birth control for a month today. I was already having heavy bleeding prior to my Dr prescribing this birth control. The next day I started the pill I stopped bleeding for a whole wk then the second week I began to spot. Followed my the third week my period started to be heavy all over again with quarter size blood clots. I contacted my Dr he said that my body is still trying to get used to the pill give it some time. This week again I called the Dr back because the bleeding seems to be getting worst and the cramps are on a level of 20 he said again just keep taking them and as the new month is approaching a change can occur if not contact him again. I sure hope this pill works fast & stop the bleeding."


"In February 2014, I decided to get the Nexplanon implant (doctor recommend over copper IUD, simply because I had not had kids and he was afraid my uterus would Easily reject it) and overall, I'm satisfied with my birth control. ALTHOUGH!.. Since having the implant I have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety and intolerable anger issues, which I won't blame completely on the implant but if anything it enhanced it enough to be put on medication, which I needed before hand just never went on. Some weight gain, but again doubt it's Nexplanon related. The ONLY thing I do not like that is 100% the implants fault is constant, light, spotting. Very aggravating, but hey, the implant gets the job done!"


"I was a heavey IV user for 2 years have been in and out of treatmeant programs relasping every time.  My doctor who was prescribing me subs told me she had to cut me off because I could not pass urine analysis.  So basicallly she started telling me about this shot that she was getting trained on and could give me next week, the vivitrol shot.  She told me I needed to be at least 7 days clean before getting it otherwise I would have severe withdrawal.  Finally I manned up went in to see my doctor told her I couldn't stay clean and that I had used the previous day but I wanted her to give me the shot anyway.  Got the shot by the time I got to the car iIwas in full out precipitated withdrawal. Day 4 feeling better just cant sleep at all."


"Ive had my implant for about 1 month, im 22 i've never had kids nor had been on birthcontrol before. The reason i got on was because i got into a serious relationship and well we both arnt ready for children yet. My main concerns were, the weight gain, breaking out, the spotting, and the sex drive. I was weighing 140lbs when i got it and now weight 135, my skin has actually been looking better than usual and the spotting i have had is very little... And the sex drive has not changed... The only negative thing i could say is that i do feel emotional and want to cry allot more than ever.. But besides from that its great!"


"This is my second try at an IUD. With my first experience as reference I thought it'd be the worst again,  but it wasn't! Surprisingly it was minor minor cramping and it didn't hurt. I don't know why others feel great pain.  I am 28, mother of two and I go through severe menstrual cramps each month. Insertion of this IUD was so easy! I haven't felt any side effects and I've now had it for a week.  If I feel any different I'll come back haha. My insurance paid for it but it costs $415 and I live in Ontario.  If others are curious to know the cost of it."


"I chose Nexplanon because I have never been able to remember the pill. After inserting Nexplanon I bled constantly for six months. I have had Nexplanon in for a little less then two years and still bleed all time. Every time my husband and I are intimate I start my cycle that has been going on for two years. It is effective as a birth control but the bleeding in annoying and get expensive when you are always buying feminine products."


"This med is useless to me.

Was prescribed for Colles and Trapezium fractures after a fall. MRI tomorrow for suspected additional soft tissue damage.

Tomorrow is one week after fall and fractures and I can't believe how very painful this is.."


"This medication mad me feel as though it was taking control of my body, in the strangest way it felt like instead of helping it was doing and pouring sickness into my body. This isn't normal I believe. Nothing should effect you like this .I've been dealing with hospital for 17 years and never have encountered such a horrible response that are In most reviews I  believe once a drug is having known bad effect it should consider to take a more in-depth research"


"I have had my bar since September of 2015. So a most 8 months. It does exactly what the Dr's said. No leriod.  No babies. No worrying about taking a pill or daily or anything. The only bad thing... it has caused me to gain a buck of wait. I was doing good losing weight before. I had lost 10 pounds. Since I had this in. I've gained 20 almost 30 pounds!"


"day 3 of taking this and the worst pain is gone although my jaw really aches where my tooth needs to be removed I have had no side effects but that maybe due to the fact I take pantoprazole to protect my stomach for other medication I have to take"


"Been sick for couple days with a horrible cold was recommended Mucinex. I bought Mucinex 600 Guafenesen extended release bi layered and it made me worse.  I've been up all night but 930 in the morning and I haven't slept a wink. Sleep is what helps heal and this does the opposite. I feel worse and  I've had a pounding headache for 10 hours now.  I'm very disappointed in this medication it should've said non drowsy on the box I would've never purchased it. $30.00 to feel like crap. It completely ruined my day if I want to be up all night I would've just drank a $1.00 cup of coffee."


"Everyone's body will react differently to meds, genetics. Just bc I had a bad experience, doesn't mean you will. Took w full stomach of bland food, 16 oz water, & took a daily probiotic. My experience w this med was horrible. I was unbearably anxious, rapid heartbeat, intense pelvic pressure, bad stomach cramping, nonstop nausea, vomiting, & explosive diarrhea. This was my 2nd time w this med,w the same bad reaction. I had to discontinue, both times. Took 3 days to start feeling better, 5-7 until normal. I'll never take this med again. I'm sure it's good for others, but nit me. I had cancer so I've taken a lot of meds. Never had to stop another med from side effects before, but I was scared to the point of going to the er. Never again."


"I had this BC placed in OCT of 2017. The entire month that I had it in I was constantly tired, extremely bloated, bled heavily, and had no energy. I realize this BC has no hormones (I specifically chose this BC for this reason) but I listened to my body. Please do not let anyone tell you that these symptoms are normal and not caused by the IUD. I never had these symptoms on Mirena. Listen to your bodies ladies and do not let the OB tell you differently! Got mine removed after a month and a half. So happy."


"I am 42 years old have had recuring shingles since I was 12 years old. Two years ago I had Zostavax vaccine at age 40. My insurance would not pay because I was not over age 60. I have had shingles at least a dozen times since vaccine."


"I've been taking Pristiq 50mg daily for the past 7 months for anxiety and mild depression, and I can't say I'm much better for sticking with it.  The side effects were horrible as I started - extreme dizziness, nausea, restlessness, sweating, impotence.  Those subsided over the first week or two, but quickly returned if I miss a dose.  My energy level has not lifted and in fact may have decreased, but most importantly I've felt more disconnected, numb, and unfocused since being on the drug.  I've heard it's rough to come off and I've been tapering back slowly, but I'm looking forward to clear thoughts and true feelings again.  "

"I have been on Depo for 18 years and until just recently would have rated it a 10. I have never had a period or any other complications that I knew about. I have always taken calcium along with a multivitamin.

Why the 1? Because while sick with bronchitis I fractured 2 ribs, coughing and I am only 32.

Come to find out, my doctor has attributed it to the Depo.

My advise, make sure to talk to your doctor about a bone density test."


"Two major lower back surgeries, was in major pain ! A Doctor told me about NORCO and I tried NORCO with great success for 10 years. I realize that is a long time to take this! I now have pain management special Doctor and have tried other products to stop the pain. I have always came back to the NORCO 10-325 because it did the job for me. NORCO 10-325 gave me my life back. My pain is under control with this product. "


"I have have Hashimotos. Tirosint has changed my life for the good!!!! I have taken it for four months and I have felt like a human being again. I was a like a zombie for 10 years on stupid Armour. Fortunately I received a bad batch of Armour that sent me to the ER twice last October which prompted my medication change to Tirosint. I want to let everyone know with Hashimotos that Tirosint is truly a God sent medication. I hope it works for you like it has for me. I had no idea how sick I was on stupid Armour. That's what I call it because Armour made me stupid. I couldn't think straight while taking it. Now with Tirosint I'm a force to be reckoned with!! I have a New job and have tons of energy! I have been reorganizing and cleaning my house"


"Horrible, Massive waste of money and it just doesn't work I tried to use Sudafed spray instead which helped heaps. The only people I would recommend this medicine to is if I want them to suffer."


"First time when I took cialis it (6 days) made my ankle swell twice there size, taking 5 mg, so I stop taking it. I do have ED and Bph so one pill for 2 ailments sounded great. Next DR appointment we discussed the problem and decided to try it again I'm on day 8 no ankle problem Bph getting better but no erection. Since it has been 10 years for my last erection. it may take 30 to 45 days to take affect according to some experts. I guess only time will tell"


"I was on Lexapro awhile ago, but stopped taking it.  Then my anxiety and panic attacks started coming back, and the doctor wanted to try me on Zoloft.  I experienced horrible side effects, and it made my anxiety worse.  I said I didn't want to take a medicine that causes me MORE anxiety!  I asked if I could PLEASE go back on Lexapro, it had a couple of side effects but nothing like Zoloft.  This is my 3rd day on it again, and already I can tell a big difference.  I would rather take medicine to make me feel normal again than try to tell myself I don't need it.  Because it's not worth spending life depressed and anxious over everything.  I would definitely recommend trying it, to improve the quality of life for an anxious personality."


"My son is 13 and was put on Focalin for his ADHD when he was about 7 years old. It did not make him a zombie at all. My ex=husband was very concerned that it would do what Ritalin did to him. Focalin for my son just calmed him down enough to do his class work . He was first just taking one in the mornings and then as he got older and got more class work to do we realized that it was not lasting him so he got put on a low does for in the afternoon. He grades improved so much and yet he still had a lot of energy to blow through."


"I am on my fourth implant and I love it!  No pregnancies, barely a period to speak of, and swapping them out has been so easy.  The only side effect I've had is mild hair loss, which no one besides me can tell.  If you've never had the implant before I recommend trying a progestin only pill first before you commit because it will most likely have the same results for you."


"I was on Adderall XR 20 mg for about 6 months, and then developed hives.  Could've been the bottle, could've been a delayed reaction (sulfa allergies).  I don't know, but it was perfect until then. Decreased appetite, yes, but that's not negative as far as I'm concerned.  Doc switched me to Vyvanse XR, and I can tell you that while you will focus, it's not as focused as when on Adderall (at least for me).  Decreased appetite but nothing like with Adderall.  I've also been on Evekeo (10 mg) tablet.  I've only tried that once, and while it will definitely stimulate you (closer to Adderall), I find there's really not hyper focus.  Just a lot of movement and staying awake.  If you haven't tried it yet, I would go with Adderall XR first."


"I am 42 years old. I have uterine fibroids which, for the past few years, have caused excessive bleeding during my periods.  It was miserable. SO, my doctor suggested the Mirena IUD. It emits the tiniest amount of progesterone (something that I was apparently lacking) and thins the uterine lining which would greatly reduce my bleeding. Insertion was very painful for me. But I have never had kids. There were a few months of adjustment. I experienced quite a bit of body aches- my lower back and hips, legs and feet. That all went away. My periods are VERY light now. and my life is back to normal. It is now January and I feel great! So glad I did it."


"pretty decent birth control, didn't give me any benefits I still got acne that took forever to heal but it  is not as  bad as when I was on orthro tri cyclrn that one gave me horrible acne, also gave me headaches for like a week gonna switch back to thee patch cause it was the only that works for me and I'm done experimenting different pills lol"


"In 2 doses my pain was at a 2 and the use of my arms were at 90%."


"Took three pills (I'm an adult) last night and nothing happened. That was to be expected, most reviews I had read said a couple hours later it would kick in

Cue to this morning, about three hours ago. I woke up cramping and hurting and squirming in my bed like a wounded animal, clutching at my stomach because It felt like I was shot. Eventually I get up and move to the bathroom, nothing happens.

So I sat and waited, tried a little and succeeded some, but cramping came in and out in waves which just made it worse for me.

While on the phone with my parents, I hang up and it instantly happened. My BM was quick, almost painless, but most importantly it happened. So, it worked, but be weary of the pain that can induce when you use this!"


"Four days in, 10mg citalopram. Really notice a change, my constant anxiety attacks my breathlessness and fear of dying have subsided, have had no side effects. That was my greatest fear. I read too many horror stories on it over net but I am glad I finally took them after a week of pure fighting the fear of it."


"I have been on nexplanon for a little over 2 months and love it.   I have also experienced most of the negative side effects such as acne, heavy bleeding, weight gain, moodiness, hair loss, and increase in appetite to the point of nausea. Here's what I've done: washed my face more often, adjusted my diet to healthier foods when the appetite comes on, started taking a multivitamin to help with the hair loss, and sucked up the bleeding for the first month. Now I am worry free about pregnancy, have a clear face, and fuller hair. The bleeding has pretty much stopped, and my moodiness is much better because I don't stress about the other side effects. Every great thing takes work. If you work around the side effects like I did, you will love it."


"2nd time having the same sexually transmitted disease. Reinfected myself by having sex while on antibiotics. Wait one week after taking antibiotics. Took two 500 mg pills and discharge was be gone along with abdominal pain. "

Tried it, my AF came back, after six weeks and lots of blood tests my INR rate was still 1, knowing some of the worst case side effects I was not happy to be on it.

On Aspirin I had a life

On Warfarin, warfarin took over my life

Could not drink or eat certain foods

Could not take anti inflamatories (for Rhu Arthritis, taken as and when required, not regularly)

Worry about cranial bleeds brought on by taking Warfarin

Too much worry

Complained to the Dr that she had not explained the alternatives properly to me

Was put on Apixaban at my request

Also as a back up was put on a Betablocker, as advised by a

Dr in A and E after a scary AF attack

Now three months on Apixaban and life is good"


"I got my ParaGard 4 months ago because I can't have hormonal birth control due to clotting issues, but I also really don't want kids (short of getting my tubes tied) so I went IUD.
First off I love it but, insertion was a nightmare for me. I had the "1%" reaction where I had contractions for hours after, vomiting, and fainting. It was horrible but I stress this is a rare thing.
 That said, I love it. My period hasn't been much heavier than it used to be off pill, however cramps are pretty intense. They're bad for about two days then everything is about the same as being on a hormonal pill. All things considered, side effects and all it's worth not worrying for 12 years. Everyone should keep in mind all experiences will vary of course!"


"I have been using Aviane for a month and a half now and I see nothing wrong with it. It did not make me sick, I think I did notice a swing on my mood while I was having my period - not a serious one but I was more emotional, which I'm normally not. Hopefully it was just a bad week but other than that this pill did not affect my emotions towards more postive or negative. "


"I have been on 25mg. once daily of this medication for over 20 years now.  I take it with Losartan (Beta blocker).  I have never experienced any of the side effects (e.g. dry mouth, dizziness, nausea, etc) that others have reported here.  Of course, it's a diuretic so frequent urination (another side effect others report) is going to occur.  But for myself I'd not noticed it as the only time I experienced frequent urination was due to either a UTI or the massive fibroids that formerly pressed on my bladder; the HZT never contributed to this.  So really I've never had one side effect that I could attribute to this drug at all since I began taking it.  In fact, the only warning from the pharmacy is to avoid sunlight or artificial sunlight"


"I get repetitive yeast infections, so it took three treatments with Diflucan for three different infections before I realized that Diflucan was the thing that was causing the painful, blistering skin rash I was getting about once a month.  I was having what it is known as "fixed skin ulceration."  Ulcers in my mouth, blisters on my hands and leg, always in the same exact spots each time and always very painful.  No one told me there was even a chance that I was allergic to this medicine and when I sought treatment for the second and then third episodes, the doctors completely missed it.  There needs to be more information out there about this as the company only reports one previous person ever having this same reaction, yet it happened to me."


"I'm 48 and 5ft 2 and suffer from low thyroid issues.
I have been on this med for a month and only taking in 1000 cal a day with exercise you would think I would loose some weight . Not the case at all. I used the scale it will weigh me at 166 on one day ,the next morning upon waking up it said 169 ??? Really ! This just isn't my plan ."
