"Worse Decision I made. I got my first shot on January 6th 2017. Since then I've been bleeding heavy with big clots coming out at times. I've been having mood swings and no sex life. I've been spending so much money on pads. I should sue the company for reimbursement . I am in pads 24 hours a day that my vaginal can't get a break. It's ridiculous.  I regret even starting . I was supposed to go back for my second shot on March 30th 2017 but did not go and now still bleeding with no end in site. I'm super anemic . I can't take this any more. This drug is not a good choice for most women, some  women take it and it's fine but for the most part most have terrible reaction. I would not recommend trying it."


"I am 25 years old, female, no kids. Tried combination pill for 2 months about 5 years ago, absolutely hated it so no BC other than condoms since then. I started Nora-Be a month ago about a week after end of period. Waited 3 days before having unprotected sex, no problem. Just had my period as scheduled this past week, was slightly lighter but still lasted 6 days total as usual. Some cramps the first couple of days. The only obvious side effects the first 2 weeks was dryness/itchiness down there and slight increase in moodiness but all is good now."


"I took Linzess for about 3 months and IMMEDIATELY began to gain weight. I noticed the weight gain and thought that it had to be my diet. I began cutting back, watching what I ate and nothing was worked. After taking myself off of the medication, I IMMEDIATELY noticed the weight loss. I felt bloated around my entire midsection going all the way around to my back. Biggest I had ever been. Someone commented that they felt 3 months pregnant and that would about sum it up. I think the FDA should disclose that side effect after looking into the medicine more closely."


"Hi all, I had Kyleena inserted at the end of March 2017, about a week before my period was due. The process was not that painful, but definitely uncomfortable. I took the day off of work, before a weekend, so I would have a few days to recover. I had some bad cramps following the insertion for a few days and some light spotting. About two weeks later I was having terrible cramps and my period started. The main problem is, it hasn't stopped since. I have been bleeding for about 5 weeks, with intermittent uncomfortable cramps. I also have noticed changes in my digestive patterns, including increase b.m. frequency and urgency. I have a follow up with my doctor tomorrow. I will at least give it three months."


"I've been taking this for 2.5 months as I feel terrific. No more fatigue and a lot less pain. "


"I am 33 and have Irritable Bowel Syndrome-Constipation. My bowels have a great habit of becoming immune to whatever medicines I try, so after Amitiza was my savior it no longer worked.  So my doctor gave me samples of Linzess. I have 2 major IBS problems: constipation and severe bloating/abdominal distension. I am giving Linzess a 7 for the bloating/distension as that is why my GI doctor gave it to me. As for the constipation, it gave me watery stools for a few days then stopped working. I've been on it over a month.  My side effects are - I have horrid sinus pain and pressure, constant runny nose drip, lots of fatigue, and decreased appetite. So my belly is a normal size now, but I have to have a tall bottle of magnesium citrate for a bowel motion."


"After a tragic and dark episode in my late 20's where I seemed to have reached rock bottom, some random doctor put me on effexor, minimal dose. Eleven years later I have never been able to get off the damn thing. And I lost count on how many times I've tried. This stuff is seriously addictive and is one of the worst in its kind. Make absolutely sure you really know what you get yourself into with this drug. Even just missing a day makes me sick, two and I'm sick as hell. I just finally started the long and slow process of tampering down 10% a month by removing little beads. It's gonna take ten months but I am determined and hoping it works out smoothly ... Nothing this addictive can be good. Beware."


"Tamsulosin 0.4 mg responsible for noticeable erectile/ejaculatory dysfunction -- semen volume significantly reduced. Additionally, medication provided increased urinary flow; however, no noticeable effect on decreased urinary frequency observed. Other possible side effect: noticeable increase in flatulation. All side effects mentioned here were greatly reduced after 72 hours of ceasing medication."


"This is the only thing that works for me when I have a headache.  The only complaint I have I can't fall asleep."


"Long before I took this I was really moody I did not like to be around anyone
but now since I am taking this I am calm and I don't eat as much as I used to but the thing is I am not able to focus in school and I am failing most of my classes and it's really weird but I like the pill its a whole lot better than the other birth control pills and patches that  I have taken."


"Jumping in here to mention a symptom I don't see listed. Backstory quickly: I had the Mirena IUD inserted a little over 3 months ago. Insertion and cramping not that bad and everything was great up until my first period came about two weeks after insertion (this is where the strange symptom came into play). On top of bad cramping and heavy bleeding, I had terrible colon and rectal spasms (Sorry for the TMI). It ranged from uncomfortable to extremely unpleasant, like lightening bolts going through my body. The period lasted for almost three weeks but the rectal spams lasted consistently for another month and still happen every few days (on top of almost constant brown discharge). Overall, not happy but also not pregnant. Win some, lose some?"


"It helped lower my pressure but made my eyes persistently red."


"I'm a Black woman who has mild acne (closed comedones on forehead and cheekbones), oily/combo skin, prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. I began using Biacna (equivalent to Ziana) regularly in November or December of 2016, once a day at night, making sure to apply at least SPF 40 every morning. It is now May of 2017, 5 months later, and my mild acne has spread all over my face - my forehead, all of my cheeks, and my chin are regularly covered in tiny bumps, and when those resolve, they are replaced with more tiny bumps. I think it is safe to say that this product is not working for me, since my acne has only gotten steadily worse over time, with no improvement. I will use this product for one more month."


"It helped me and my dad. I smoked for 28 years, my dad smoked for 40  years. I still get the craving to light one up but have not ...I haven't smoked for about 6 months. My wife and kids are happy I stopped smoking. I don't smell like an ashtray and I am happy about that."


"Every single negative and terrible side effect you will get if you take this birth control. I am 5'5 usually weigh 100-105. I took this for 7 months gained 20 pounds. Doesn't hurt to get inserted. The only good thing about this bc is that you don't have to remember to take a pill. I bloat, cry, bleed, cramp, and can't sleep everyday. When i first started i have terrible migraines but that went away after 3 months. I bled more the past 5 months than i would in a year not being on bc. I don't know why i haven't gotten this taken out of my arm sooner. I get it out in 1 week and will be trying Beyaz or Lolestrin."


"After over twenty years of smoking, I am finally free. Thank you Chantix. Never felt better."


"My father suffered from CA esophagus stage II A. it was very difficult situation he suffered from..had 13 cm of length in esophagus and after 3 chemotherapy of epirubicin, oxaloplatin and with Xeloda tabs ..it was amazing reduction in size up to 2 cm only..then we had operation and again same back up plan with 3 chemo and xeloda....its almost 3 years and he is safe i m happy ..thank god"


"I was given this pill as a second option because I felt the other pill I was taking was causing me to gain weight. I notice that with this pill I was not happy. Not with the pill, but my personality drastically changed. I was moody, irritable, emotional and down right a pain to be around. I have stopped taking it a week ago, just to see if my mood would improve, and it has. I would say stay away from this pill if you are under stress, as it will add to that negative side of your life."


"I. Take this medicine everytime I have a poor appetite and it works wonders! I have always striggled with gaining and maintaining weight all my life! Got teased a lot! I have gained as much as 35 pounds in a month and a half!

I recently just started back taking due to foot surgery and being on narcotic pain pills that stripped my appetite!

The great thing about them is the weight and appetite stays even once you stop taking thrm!

Highly recommemd"


"I just started on the Foltanx tablets so I can't comment on how well they work, but what I can comment on is that they don't have *any* fish odor.  I couldn't get anywhere near Metanx or Foltanx capsules because of the strong fish odor.  So if the fish smell is bothersome to you, try the Foltanx tablets."


"I have tried and failed every medication out there!! I just could not tolerate the side effects and weight gain. I came very close to suicide and I finally got on lamictal. What a difference!! I am finally not having the mania keeping me up for days and the severe depression of constantly writing suicide letters. I am also on klonopin. I had to go off my meds during my pregnancy and my husband said " I will never get you pregnant again!!!" That is how much better I am on the medication. My dose is 300 mg. split twice daily. I had gastric bypass as well and I am tolerating it the same as I was before. I have been on Lamictal for 8 years.I wanted to share my experience so that I might touch someones' life and make a difference!"


"Let me preface this review by I did already get hormonal acne around my chin/mouth, but it was only when I was experiencing PMS.

I will say that for it's purpose, Skyla is extremely effective and I enjoyed not having to remember to take a pill everyday. It is a very smart medical device and I wish that I did not experience the side effects that I did.

I experience PMS like symptoms twice a month- once before my period and once when I ovulate. This include extreme cramps and severe hormonal acne all over my jaw, chin, mouth, and cheek. I had never gotten acne on my cheeks before my Skyla insertion. "


"I started Paxil in 2000, I was depressed, I stopped drinking vodka, no desire.. I was not cured instantly but have never wanted a 'drink' since April 2000. I recently started talk therapy, and have been satisfied thus far. It is really letting all the wires connect better. Life will always be a challenge..BEST...January 2010."


"I am on diazepam for nearly 10 years to treat on my insomnia and recently got told I had to stop it, the withdrawal symptoms of benzo is not joke!! I suffer severe anxiety, panic, fear and feeling very depressed during benzo tapering process. As usual insomnia remains as my major issue while still having to deal with withdrawal from benzo. My psychiatrist prescribed me with quetiapine 25mg (not a high dose) together with benzo (benzo have been decreasing as I am on tapering process) I am amazed on how this drug helps! After around 45min of taking 25mg of quetiapine together with 4mg of diazepam. I am managed to sleep through out a solid 9 hours!! It's But the side effect for me is having migraine when I awake, but worth it compare to insomnia!"


"It is early days yet (under one month) since I commenced treatment with Questran but there has been marked decrease in daily bowel activity. I have had Crohn's for the past 18 years and all other medications have proved to be largely ineffective. I have been concerned about the potentially dangerous side effects that some medicines that are prescribed for this condition may have.

Since starting this course of treatment, my intake of codeine and Lomotil/Imodium has been minimal. While constipation has occurred, it has been manageable. Without going down this track, with four identified strictures I was looking down the barrel of surgery. I am moderately confident that at least so far this has been a positive move."


"Used for a week when I was having problems w/ my bladder. spasming causing trips every time I took a 2-4oz drink, to relieve myself. After a 2 days I saw my PCP and explained I WAS urinating every 15mins, and now I'm could not at all but need to badly, it was PAINFUL.

i'd never used a suppository before, didn't figure it'd help and was VERY wary of Scopolomine. But for all the good they REALLY did, may as well have shoved them in my... wait I did :) My urine flow became normal after the 2nd dose, spasms stopped. I could fully empty my bladder and it didn't feel "needed" relieved every 15mins. It helped, immensely. I did NOT wanna cath, I kept a few I didn't need but never had that problem quite like that again. A godsend for the problem!"


"I've been using Epiduo for about 8 months now and just like you, I was constantly scrolling through websites to see if this stuff really works. Let me tell you that it does..

When I first started using it, I had at least 5 spots a day and my skin also had lots of small bumps underneath it which you couldn't really see in certain lights, but none the less, it didn't give my skin a great look.

So during the first few weeks of Epiduo, you will most probably break out, a lot. I did, and yes it is disheartening but the results are so worth it. My skin is now near perfect and although I sometime do get the odd spot, I am no longer self conscious about my skin, which I definitely was before!

Please stick with it, you will not regret it!"


"I got upper respiratory infection that did not get better until I got off of Januvia."


"I have had acid reflux for over 16 years. Started with tums/rolaids and they offered some relief if I ate about 10 per day! Then I started on Prevacid, and it worked fine for a year or two, but still had some heartburn. Then tried Prilosec OTC since it was so cheap and it worked almost as good as Prevacid. Then a year ago my doctor started me on Zegerid, and it completely took away the heartburn. Now I have to make sure that I take it at least 15 minutes before I eat anything or I get wicked bad burps! An hour is best. Anyways I have been experiencing some side effects, so I may stop taking to see if they go away. I have been getting some dizziness, headaches, bad gas, stomach pain, and anxiety. They usually are mild."


"I got nexplanon about 8 months ago and I have been constantly bleeding the whole time. I guess you can consider it effective birth control since I haven't had much sex in theses past 8 months due to the consistent bleeding. There are 1-3 days were there might not be any bleeding but then it is followed by weeks of constant spotting. I also noticed that sex became a bit painful after a few months of being on nexplanon. I am only 92lbs so my small size may be the reason my body is reacting to it in this way but i honestly wouldnt reccomend this form of birth control."


"I lived in pain from most foods, until a new Gastroenterology doctor (Mayo Clinic) tested me for lactose intolerance. I proved to be VERY lactose intolerant. He recommended that I avoid milk, yogurt, and ice cream but try Lactaid with every meal, particularly canned foods and restaurant foods.  Trace amounts of lactose can be present in canned products. When dining out, there are no guarantees of what is put in the food. Even foods that seem relatively safe, could contain lactose.
Lactaid has worked GREAT! I no longer get sick after canned tuna fish or eating out. I continue to avoid milk and ice cream, but I can eat cheese within moderation.
I hope the product works for those who need it. For me, it's been a lifeline to normalcy."


"I don't like SSRIs. The fact that Buspar can deal with serotonin receptors without causing the loss of libido, weight gain, and tiredness makes it perfect to treat generalized anxiety. Plus it's non-addictive like many benzodiazepine for panic attacks. I wish they made it in extended release form, though my doctor said it's okay to just take my full dose in the morning - and that seems to be working fine for me. It's the only medication that focuses mainly on the brain's serotonin levels that I like."


"I had pretty mild acne at age 14-15, but it REALLY hurt my self esteem. I didn't talk to any girls because I was so embarrassed of my face. I started Claravis, and I'm not kidding, two days, my skin was almost completely clear. I stayed on it for three months, and didn't have a single breakout, just mildly dry lips. Now I'm 16 and its been at least 5 months since my medication ended, and I'm so happy. I've had like three breakouts that have lasted for one day and they were most likely from my sweaty face, since I'm a runner."


"This medication made me nauseous for 12  hours a day about 30 minutes after I took it.  My doctor changed me to Wellbutrin, but I am weary to try it."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This prep was very difficult for me to get down. After getting the first bottle mixed and finished, I proceeded to throw up the entire mix.....now I didn't know what to do. So I waited about an hour and decided to mix the second bottle and try again. I used an orange wedge to suck on between sips. I got about 2/3 of it down and managed to keep it down . Amazingly, it cleaned me out and my colonoscopy was able to be done. "


"I just started to take cataflam/diclofenac,  for rhumathoid  arthritis, so I really can't tell you how it works for me, but I just want to say I've been taking the prescription medicine Zoming 2.5mg. For my migraine headaches and it's been a miracle drug for me. It has been almost 30 years since I've been on it! Just make sure when you take it, try to eat a piece of

toast or something little. I take it on a empty stomach. My pain is gone within the hour, but then I start to get hungry and tired. I don't care because I feel better, thepain is gone!!!!!  :-)"


"I take Paxil 30mg a day and 0.5mg of Xanax 3 times a day. I have as everyone else here does a very horrible panic disorder with agoraphobia. I cannot and do not leave my house. It has been 3 yrs now that I cannot go outside unless if I am with someone and that is a short outing. Xanax is my life saving drug. Yes it doesnot last long in your body but with the Paxil and Xanax together I no longer need to call 911 to go to the ER. Only once did I within the last 6 months due to finding out my best friend in the whole world my dad, has cancer... but as long as this medicine is not abused it works great. With the help of my therapist and psych doctor I hope someday I can go outside but I am still afraid due to the bad panic disorder I have."


"I'd say that Ponstel was god's gift to me for treating my migraines in long term.Very good!"


"I switched to this birth control from Yaz because my periods (although controlled) were still 7-8 days long and heavy. When I switched to this pill I gained about 8 lbs, was intensely moody, and noticed my hair and skin became extremely oily. I was on it for 4 months and it only got worse. I had breakthrough bleeding the entire time. The second month I was on it I bled for 2 weeks straight. It was absolutely miserable. I know birth control affects every person differently, but this was AWFUL for me."


"Helped me urinate a stream like you wouldn't believe. Took this medicine for 6 years and saw my sexual performance fade away fast. Sex felt numb. No ejaculation, poor performance for my wife. Finally quit and have better erections and love life is much better now. "


"Horrid drug, caused irg heart beat and problems breathing."


"The first time i took this medication was last month on the 1st day of period..had bad side effects within 3 days  like.. always angry..acne along side of jaw & mouth..swelling boobs..heavy bleeding..i stopped taking it after the 1st week ... Told my obgyn about it she said no take it again give it another chance for a whole month so i did and im now on my 2nd week and have not experienced any side effects so far which is good..only good side affect is swelling boobs who wouldnt want that lol "


"I'm 17 years old and last year I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I was switched to 200mg of Celebrex three months ago instead of taking 20mg of prednisone a day. And all I can say is that Celebrex has made my life almost normal again. I can go back to school and hang out normally with my friends again. Even if it might only be short term, Celebrex has saved my life."


"Rubbish.  I had put in 4 months ago constant period haven't stopped bleeding, feel like faint due to low iron. My hair is falling out bad been told its a side effect depo having this taking out, ruining my confidence and my relationship."


"I got the Skyla IUD inserted in February of 2015 after having been on the pill 2 years prior. I wanted a form of birth control that cost less (I had to pay for my pills every month) and I wanted something more reliable than the pill. My gyno recommended the Skyla IUD to me so I figured why not.

Best decision of my life, hands down. Insertion was painful, but I was prepared luckily. Take some pain killers beforehand and it should lessen the blow. Also be prepared to rest that day and a few days after because you will be sore. I did spot constantly for about 12 days afterwards, but I haven't had a period since!!! Life is so much better and I'm so happy I got the Skyla IUD. I highly recommend it."


"If you're here reading this reviews, I'm sure you're freaking out just like I was, I was actually here reading these exact reviews about a day ago. But, I'll echo what many say here, this pill definitely works. Girlfriend got her period last night, and I've been ecstatic since;  I promised myself I'd post here if it came through. People make mistakes, this pill is amazingly good at fixing them. If you're within 24 hours when you take it, you have nothing to worry about, stress will only make your period delay more!"


"I am 27 years old and today is my 3rd day on Suboxone.  My life before was hell. I ceased to function without pain pills. I would go through a bottle of 90 Percocet 10s in less than 48 hours and was using fentanyl patches.  I lost my mother last year to a drug overdose and I myself have overdosed twice. With Suboxone I feel like me again.  I feel like a 10 year long battle with addiction is over.   "


"I feel like it makes my symptoms worse. I get this cold, tingling feeling in my throat and it feels like someone's sitting on my back. I've been on it for a few years. If anything, it makes me need to use my inhaler more"


"Okay, so you hear the horror stories and then you hear some ladies say it wasn't bad at all. I have to say, my experience would definitely go under the "horror story" category! I had done some research, but not looked up any forums discussing insertion. I prepared myself, but NEVER would I have expected how bad it actually was! It doesn't take long, but the amount of pain was almost intolerable. I thought I was going to pass out! When she told me it was over, the pain did not subside! I had to lay on the table for an extra 10 minutes to catch my breath. When I did finally leave the office, I had close to unbearable cramping all afternoon. I had to curl into a ball every time I got one (every half hr) and it lasted almost 7 hrs! :("


"I was given Reglan intravenously for nausea while in the emergency room. Almost immediately I began have these overwhelming urges to rip the IV out of my arm and run away as fast as possible, it felt like a shock wave was passing through every muscle in my body. The nurse said it was "restlessness" and it wasn't uncommon. Every few seconds the sensation would return, and all I could do was wiggle around in the bed and cry, I felt so helpless. It took an hour for the feelings could go away. "


"First off, I was diagnosed with MS about a year ago, after having many relapses in a 6 month period. I was put on Rebif and after that I have not seen one more problem. It has given me a wonderful peace of mind.

Second, I  know there is a long list of side effects, however, I have not had one, So I take my shot anytime during the day.

Third, my insurance is through Pfizer, which is the co-producer of this drug, so therefore I dont pay a penny out of pocket  for this drug.

Honestly, thank God for this remarkable drug!"


"This medication has been great for my endometriosis and ovarian cysts.  The only downside is that I now I have to go off of it because I have developed hepatic adenomas (uncommon benign liver tumors) that are caused by the long term use of estrogen (I've been on it for more than 5 years)."


"I've had insomnia for 32 years.I've tried every sleeping pill there is and all pills used off label for sleep.My latest cocktail of 10mg ambian and .1 mg of clonidine no longer works. I started Belsomra 1 week ago. 10mg didn't work but 20mg does. I take it an hour before bed. I sleep 5 or 6 hours a night. I don't feel tired when I wake up, but not exactly well rested either. I have a lot of dreams, but not nightmares and this is why I don't feel as well rested as I'd like to be I will continue to take it because 5 or 6 hours of sleep is better than my 2 hours on Ambien. I took advanage of the coupon for free trail. My copay is $125.00."


"My daughter (21 yrs) had this awful drug inserted in her arm a year and a half ago. We just got it removed today after six months of trying to convince her doctor to remove it. She had to have 8 stitches and it was a very painful procedure. Since she had Nex inserted she has gained about 25 pounds, suffered from depression and anxiety, became anemic, broke out with body acne (she's never had acne, other than an occasional pimple in her teens), been to the ER and Doctor several times for ovarian cysts (never had them before) and bleeds three to four weeks straight every three months. Her attitude has been extremely negative to put it lightly. She is so tired and has no energy almost every day. I hope she recovers quickly!"


"Loved Accutane!  Had to jump through hoops to take it, (blood tests every month, waiver, birth control) but it was worth it.  I had severe cystic acne after my second child and no other prescription medicines helped.  Had dryness and increased acne, but after treatment, I have been acne free for 10  years!  My sister also took Accutane but had a recurrence years later.  She did a 2nd round and has been acne free for 5  years.  Saved my face from years of scarring, even if I have a recurrence at this point."


"I just started this antibiotic yesterday and my lymph nodes have reduced in size (from kidney bean to pea) and I can now eat without severe pain. I've had bad experience with things such as amoxicillin and Azithromycin because of serious stomach upset, even when taken with food. But on penicillin vk I haven't had any side effects. All I know is this penicillin is kicking my strep throats butt and I love it."


"Every drugs works differently for each person, but I have personally found Trintellix to be very helpful to my life. I have been taking 20mg for 4 months and it has helped so much with anxiety and depression. I'm not "cured" of being an anxious person, but it no longer consumes me. Even if I worry about things, I don't have the physical, gut wrenching worry that I always had. I feel more positive about life and more positively about things I used to panic about. I'm able to think rationally and manage. I had gotten to the point where none of the things I used to enjoy did anything for me. I have that back now after being on this medication. I laugh at things again, I don't just want to stay away and sleep. I can say I'm truly happy again"


"The thing I noticed is 90% of my outbreaks went away, however the other 10% were more severe. If you can group that other 10% of the time with a powerful pain medicine then making it through this is not as hard as it use to be. I had been taking other opioids for other conditions that did nothing to help fibro until topamax."


"Hi everyone, im a 35yo male ive been on the drug now for 7weeks and have found both positive and negative affects my mood has improved, i dont dwell on the negative aspects of my life as much, im more focused and im learning to look at the good in my life but and heres the but im waking around 3-4am and thinking so hard i cant get back to sleep and feeling tired through the day im managing with the lack of sleep at the moment but would struggle with any less hope it helps chin up d.neasham"


"I never comment, but wanted to say that if you're nervous or on the fence about taking this medicine, then your worries should be allayed. With Fluoxetine, I have been able to think clearly, control emotions and feel present in the moment without being overwhelmed by my usual over-thinking. Miracle drug? No. But it is a supplement that can help you reach the potential you see inside yourself."


"I have been taking codeine 15yrs+ with diazepam & Tylenol. I can no longer take anti-inflammatories too, unfortunately. I have a huge tolerance, regularly taking 240-300mg a day (8-10 tablets). On pain free days I need to take a 1 tablet about every 12hrs or withdrawal starts after about 18.

That is a bit like having a dose of flu for a few days, combined with severe diarrhoea in my case. During rare pain-free periods it isn't worth weaning myself off completely cos the pain is never away long.

Everyone different; 60mg gives me 2 hrs max. relief. No constipation, dizziness or nausea-the latter often experienced briefly on 1st use (inc. posters here) -dose probs too big. Constipation is common & worse than the pain, I'm told, so go easy."


"I started taking Tegretol for TN and it did greatly improve my ability to function. Pain was much duller during episodes and had stopped being totally debilitating.

6-7 weeks after use I began to be so lethargic I couldn't get out of bed and was relying so much more on my husband to see to our toddler son. It was very worrying. I then developed severely enlarged glands under my chin, lumps on my neck and started to feel generally unwell. I then had a full blood count done and it returned a very low white blood and abnormal looking cells also. Enlarged spleen also occurred. Now being referred to haematology and had to be taken off Tegretol as they believe I am taking quite a severe reaction to it."


"After trying Tramadol, Oxycodone and Neurontin, I tried Nortriptyline for chronic back pain due to a herniated disc.  Unfortunately, after only a couple of days on the drug, I had to quit.  It made me extremely dizzy and caused my blood pressure to drop so quickly, that I nearly passed out while taking a vigorous walk.  "


"I have been on Trileptal for about 1 1/2 years. It has worked for the most part with keeping the seizures at bay. I have gone from having around 5 seizures a month when I was first diagnosed with epilepsy to around 2 a year. When I first was diagnosed I was put on dilantin which did not work. I continued to have seizures; one of which resulted in me crashing my car through my garage door. The problems I have with Trileptal are that it has caused me to break out with acne. Especially on my back and face. Also it causes me to have a drunken sensation for about half an hour after I take it. I talked to the doctor about this and she told me it was because I was eating either right before or after."


"I deal with diverticulitis every 9 to 12 months. CT over the past 15 years keep showing mild diverticulitis as they call it but when it hits it feels nothing like mild! Nasty lower left abdominal pain . Sometimes I get a fever. Now my dr. Just put me on antibiotics as soon as I get symptoms because I always go into the fever eventually . Yes going on this for  7 to 10 days can give you diarrhea.  I found quite a while ago since probiotic yogurt came out as long as I eat lots of that I rarely get diarrhea now. And since you should be on  liquid and very soft food diet anyway just switch yourself and eat nothing but probiotic yogurt and soups while you're taking this stuff.  always take it with a meal too. And no alcohol!"


"I started taking these pills 3 months ago and so far it hasn't helped with my heavy periods at all. The doctors told me it might take 2-3 cycles for it to start working but I am currently on my 3rd period since taking the pills and this time my period is way heavier than my last two and I have awful cramps (I rarely cramped before using this pill). I have anxiety all the time now as I am terrified I might develop a blood clot. I'll give it one more month and then look into other pills I guess. Probably gonna write another review so yeah. Also I'm 18 and my periods have been heavy since I was around 15. Praying it works because I can barely move around/stand on my period otherwise I'll just bleed all over the place..."


"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."


"I was prescribed this medicine after detoxing off alcohol for the really bad shakes. The first day I took it I could actually drink without spilling, write ledgeably, an sit still. It also brought my heart rate down to the 80's from 140's."


"I have been on BC for about 4 years now, generally the same pill just different generic names ( I move a lot ) So
when I last moved and got a new doctor she recommended taytulla, it was new and she told me I was on an “older version” of birth control and this one was great only a few days of light periods etc. well, first month, no side effects but my period was about 2/3 days. Second month my period was like 1 maybe 2 days, super light. 3rd month I didn’t even get my period, I have never skipped a period before I didn’t miss a pill and I was freaking out. I took 2 pregnancy tests both negative, I called my doctor she said it was normal and this pill “does that”, so I’m switching back b/c I don’t feel like buying a test every month."


"I recently (two days ago) had to prepare for a colonoscopy (among other things) using SuPrep.  I spent a ton of time reading reviews and blogs about how to make this kind of prep as easy as possible, and now that I've done it, I know for sure that it is not nearly as bad as most people make it sound.  Sure, it's not "pleasant" by any stretch, but I do feel like there are a lot of folks who over amplify some negatives regarding this prep.  Now everyone is different and bodies all react in their own way, so to each his/her own, I guess!

Taste - I didn't think this was nearly as bad as folks made it sound. Got my drinks completely down in 4-5 minutes both times!
Effectiveness - yeah, it worked!
Tip - drink a ton of fluids constantly!"


"I am on my 4th month on Bydureon. So far I don't see any weight loss but instead I gained a little. It doesn't suppress my appetite yet in fact on my first 3 months, I noticed that I ate more and always hungry. I lost 25 lbs on Victoza but after a year of using it my weight didn't move down anymore. My Dr. changed it to Bydureon, he wants me to bring down my weight. I have to see him if my numbers are better on this one. Needles are thick but I can handle it. I know the technique now and no bumps at all and pulling the needle is bloodless now. Doing this once a week is very convenient. Just a little worried because of my hypothyroidism, hope it won't create another problem...lets wait a little bit more and see. "


"Suprep is the way to go. I had horrible anxiety about doing another prep after a bad experience with another product years ago. I almost cancelled my appt and even called my doctor for other prep options. I warned them that if I was unable to drink this they would not see me in the morning because I wasn't going to force myself to drink something that will make me sick. I have to say this was so easy I had no gagging while drinking it and no nausea either. I had none of the horrible side effects other people had experienced. Does it taste great? No it doesn't but very tolerable and the lemon trick worked like a champ. It does taste like cherry cough syrup but very easy to swallow. I would use this product again."


"I had the kyleena  inserted about a month ago. At first I bled for about two days and had slight cramping after insertion.  I probably went a week without bleeding but continued to have the cramping. Now it has been a month and I got a normal period that has lasted for three weeks.  I called my doctor to make sure this was normal and she said you can have irregular bleeding for up to four months after getting the IUD due to your body getting used to the hormones.  Besides that everything else has been normal. It's seem to have helped my acne and I have noticed I'm not as emotional as I've been on other types of birth controls.  I still have a great libido as of now so besides the bleeding and cramping it's been a good experience."


"I've been on Paxil for about two months. The first two weeks I was on 10mg, and I could feel a big change. My pupils would dilate huge, which I read was because my brain was finally being flooded with serotonin. I actually would relate the side effects I felt as similar to MDMA (I spent from 19-23 as an avid drug user..have been clean now for 4 years). I felt awesome, but it didn't last. Two weeks in, my doctor increased my dose to 20mg. Since the increase, the "good feeling" has kind of went away. I feel how I did before I started Paxil, PLUS it's hard to think clearly&feels like something is pressing on my chest at night. I have absolutely no sex drive and have lost more than 20lbs due to not eating. It's done nothing for my anxiety yet."


"Good for emergency situations. Versatile, quick acting, wish it came in 10mg tabs."


"I started taking Synthroid 200mrgs From 2002- Oct 2012. Because i had thyroid cancer.  had both of my thyroids removed. A friend told me to try  armour thyroid, and you will fill alot better. I took her advice and she gave mw the name of the Dr who will perscride armour thyroid. I been taking 90mrgs of Amour thyroid and i fill  great, I can tell the difference after i took the first pill. My energy level is very high. I dont need a nap during the day."


"This drug works wonders on most people including myself.  It calmed my panic, it helped my depression and helped me see life for what it is instead of worrying about every little problem.  "


"Had IUD for about a month now and never had children. I have a sensitivity to estrogen so opted for this. I love it. Insertion hurt.  The actual IUD didn't hurt at all. As soon as they released the clamp on my uterus, the pain went away immediately. I spot occasionally and have random cramps that last about ten minutes but overall it isn't that bad. OB says spotting will subside (it isn't that bad really just a speck on my panties, so I wear a liner.). Boyfriend doesn't feel the strings at all like some claim. I would highly recommend."


"have had gout attacks since 1986, back the heavy beer drinker. Quit drinking in 1997 and gout attacks down 80 % . now 60 years old , I occasionally get gout attack but I take allopurinol 325 daily has been great but recently had some medium pain in joints son back on Colchicine .06 daily, feeling better . gotta stay away from greasy meats, shellfish but medication works great.........."


"I already used Celebrex for several years if I have pains."


"I love the Skyla! I'm 19 and have had it in almost a year and I love it. The only down side is the cramping and bloating. I hardly ever have a period, which I only had a 3 day period before the birth control. My sex drive is extremely high. Over all I love it. The cramping is just the worst part. Insertion took all of 10 minutes with my doctor explaining and talking and then inserting it. I cramped afterwards but nothing out of the norm. I'm covered for 3 years and I love it"


"good"


"I am one of the unlucky few who had a severe side effect from this birth control. My legs, knees, hips, and ankles all feel like they're being crushed. My muscles in my legs feel like they're being torn from the skin. The pain is tremendous. I was advised to stop the pill and wait 2 weeks to see if the pain subsides any. Hopefully this doesn't leave any lasting damage. I was only on this pill for 8 days and all of this happened!"


"I have been on Prolia for approximately two years. Just this year ( my 5th injection) I did experience sore muscle/joint pain in my hips. About 4 months ago I developed dermatitis around the corners of my eyes, nose, mouth, and along both sides of my neck. I've never had allergies before. Also, I'm dealing with a feeling of deep exhaustion. I'm not sure whether this is due to Prolix. If my next bone density doesn't show  marked increase, I will ask my physician for a change in med. one note--I faithfully exercise 3-4 times weekly with a trainer, take calcium, and eat green veggies and foods with calcium/D."


"I was in a car accident a few weeks ago and it turns out I have a fractured tailbone.  My Dr. prescribed Tramadol so that I could get pain relief during the day, as I need a clear head in order to do my job (I am guessing almost everyone does).  So far I am noticing slight constipation and a little anxiety.  I feel like it does help with the pain a little, but I find myself ready to take a second pill as soon as 4 hours has passed, and I do think that it helps if you take it before you feel the pain like another reviewer said.  I guess I feel like it is a good alternative to something stronger, but I am always ready to take my Flexeril at bedtime. I feel like it helps more, but I can't take it during the day."


"I was in the ER the other day for a slipped disc, and pinched sciatic nerve. I was given 1mg of this through an IV. I have never take a pain medicine so effective! But I was in so much pain that I needed 1mg every hour for 3 hours. But the only side effect was that my face and body was itchy after the third mg."


"I have taken Protonix without any relief. My doctor increased my dosage from 40mg to 80mg. I had really bad headaches and no relief from reflux. I began taking Aciphex and got results immediately."


"I decided to get on birth control about 2 years ago, Implanon was the one that I decided to try. I used to have terrible cramps when being on my cycle, and although Implanon did not make my cycles lighter it did lessen the pain a bit. I did gain weight and mentioned that to my doctor who suggested that hormones can sometimes give you cravings, but it is a choice to whether adhere to those cravings or not. I do experience noticeable mood swings, but I'm quite used to them now and can usually sense when they are coming on. My three years will be up this coming October 2012 and I am going to have it removed. I would advise anyone to try the Implanon. You won't have to worry about getting pregnant and the side effects (for me) were very minimal."


"I have been taking Amitiza for about a week now. I have been having an average of 1 bowel motion per day! I used to move only 3 per week, so I'd say it is working wonders so far."


"Helps to maintain lower blood sugar after meals and also helps to curb my appetite."


"I tried to decide which would be more traumatic, calling 911 and having my husband and his crew (he's a firefighter) respond to the fire in my vagina, or toughing out the excruciating torture otherwise known as Monistat 3 day cream. I've used Monistat in the past so I never thought to read the reviews before hand, but I've never used the 3 day cream. I will NEVER use it again. I'd rather have a lifelong YI than use another dose of this Vajayjay chemical peel. Imagine pouring battery acid into your lady parts. Welcome to the Monistat 3 day cream experience."


"Miracle pill."


"I would not recommend this birth control. I was diagnosed with anxiety/depression disorder 5 years ago and did not know where it came from. I couldn't leave my bed for weeks and couldn't eat sleep and never stopped having panic attacks. Because I was depressed and went off my birth control and month later I started to feel okay. I have not had a panic attack since that time. I was put on Lo Lo Estrin and was fine for years. My new insurance did not cover Lo Lo and my doc put me on Junel 1/20 since its a low dose generic. 8 days after starting to take the pill I couldn't stop having panic attacks every few min and couldn't stop crying for weeks and the panic is unbearable. Looked at my personal med files and I was on Junel before and it was the one that  had caused my problems. Do your research."


"I absolutely love this medication! The trick I have found is to take it right before bed, then you can avoid the upset stomach and nausea.  I know it says to take with food but I have been on this for over a year and it has been working great for me."


"Started off on Bystolic 5mg after having very high readings. I stayed on it for about a month before taking 2.5 mg. It was very effective. I was walking 4 miles a day. After going off of it my blood pressure shot up (about a month later) to 168/119. Because of the cost I was switched to a much cheaper blood pressure medicine, METOPROLOL 50mg two times a day. I do not feel like myself. Dizzy spells, tired and swelling. I will be going back on Bystolic. With BYSTOLIC I felt great. No odd feeling and my blood pressure was totally controlled. I am only 36."


"First and for most, before I went on the Nuvaring I was a complete skeptic. I did almost 2 months of research and read almost every review on Drugs.com. My current boyfriend (who is a Pharmacists) suggested and educated me on this BC. I have not been on BC for almost 3 years prior to starting Nuvaring. I've tired everything, from Depo, every pill formed BC and nothing has worked for me. Nuvaring is by far the only thing that's worked, from the first 3 months when your body starts adjusting everything was fine! No weight gain (loss 10lb), no depression, increase sex drive. There is definitely more Pros than Cons. Highly suggested!! Good for those who have a hard time remembering to take daily pills."


"No real side effects except the loose stool. Seems to effect most everybody. I'm 70% clear now, was almost 99% clear for a time until my insurance co. decided it was going to cancel my script. Missed a few doses, Never got back to where I was before. Only missed 3-4 days till I got the script back. I'd say never miss a day."


"My experience with Miralax was above and beyond amazing. ...unlike any other. ...after suffering from constipation all my life and after trying every single method and being hospitalized. ..and dealing with several other issues due to my constipation such as anemia, under weight. I was put on Miralax. At first I didn't want to take it because it was slow but my doctor explained to me that it's supposed to help me go to the restroom on my own and that's exactly what I've been doing for 5 years now ...(I went from having a bowel movement every three weeks to every other day and now daily on my own. I still take Miralax but only randomly)"


"Works 6 out of 10 on the pain, but still have a lot of swelling in feet and ankles."


"All I can add is all I want to do is sleep!!!   Nausea and diarrhea and general feeling of being sleep walking thru the day.  Hard time concentrating not sure how I'm going to be able to find work since I don't feel like doing anything.   But at least I'm calm snd feel things will get better.   Now to just wake up."


"it's very a good medication to relief the pain."


"It's a miracle. Hypercare saved my life. I had been suffering from smelling arm pits all my life to the point that used to have (all the time) baby wipes and a deodorant in my purse to refresh my under arms.  I don't need to do that anymore, thanks to Hypercare. I can deal with the burning and/or itching.  I'm 35 years old and for the first time in twenty something years I found something that works. AND WHEN I SAY IT WORKS I MEAN IT WORKS."


"The first day I took it, my constipation and heart flutters disappeared, and my energy came back.  I believe I'll need a larger dose soon, but so far no complaints at all."


"Gyno called me Tuesday Morning said my pap came back normal however I had cultures test positive with Chlamydia. She said she called in the prescription to my pharmacy and I should be able to pick up the antibiotics same day. Picked up antibiotics after work and took around 7:30pm that night. Took after eating my leftover Calzone and had a glass of water. Was fine for an hour until I started having the worst stomach cramps on and off for the rest of the night."


"I've gone the rounds with sleeping pills since I suffer from a CNS disorder. Belsomra is different from the others I've tried in that, at least for me, it isn't incapacitating, meaning I get no "high" from it. At 20mg, the largest dose, it doesn't feel anything like Ambien did, where I was seeing things that weren't there. In a way, this was a little disappointing as I like that tired/druggy feeling to ease me to sleep, but what Belsomra actually did was send me off to sleep without me knowing about it, which is how I remember falling asleep as a kid. One minute you're laying there thinking, then the next you wake up and the clock has passed several hours. That's good enough for me."


"So, tonight I decided to go to an E.R for my extremely awful wisdom tooth pain that started about 4-5 days ago. I've not eaten solid foods in 3 days because of it... and the nurse comes in and gives me the shot in my arm. First of all, why give someone a shot that causes pain, when they're already in pain? It felt like the nurse pulled my shoulder out of place when she injected me. I literally could not move my arm for like 20 or so minutes. So yeah, tooth hurt less because I was busy with the awful shoulder pain. Second, did absolutely nothing for my wisdom tooth pain. Now, I'm having pain in my kidney area and soaking in a hot bath trying to figure out why I'd been given this shot, and 800mg of ibuprophen when it clearly says not to mix."


"I was given duramorph in my spinal tap for my 3rd cesarean. The side effects were horrible. After surgery, for several hours, I had difficulty breathing. I had to force myself to stay awake because every time I closed my eyes my respiratory rate dropped. This is a side effect of duramorph, but not everybody will have this side effect. I can tell you that after that surgery, the thought of having another cesarean made me ill. "


"THE BEST DECISION EVER.I started antibiotics when I was 13 for acne. For the following eight years i struggled with severe cystic acne and white heads. I tried minocyclin, doxycyline, erythromyocin, tetracycline, bactrum orally (on them for at least 6 months). I tried tetrinoin .1% for three years, benzoyl peroxide, azaelic acid, and many  other topical creams. My acne always came back but each time it came back worse. My face was always in pain. I decided to get on  Loryna and it has been AMAZING. I didn't experience any initial breakouts. My face started clearing up right away. I'm entering my third month and my skin is clearer than it has been in 8 years. I also use clindamyacin gel topically x2 a day.No weight gain,hairloss, depression"


"22 year old female diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatologist switched me from regular higher dose naproxen to meloxicam. All the pain relief I had been having with the naproxen disappeared when I switched over. Got off work the other day to find that I had some rectal bleeding as well. I suffer from depression as well and am medicated for it, but the second I started taking this drug my symptoms got much worse. I believe the meloxicam is causing a big bunch of problems for me, and I only just started taking it."


"Suffered from IBS-D and anxiety for 20  years.  Recently had a 6 month bout of terrible IBS-D. Became a hermit. Didn't want to leave the house, had huge panic attacks about traveling and became very depressed. Finally went to doctor. Had problems filing this med with health Alliance but BCBS covered it. Started taking 2 a day each 100mg and caused opposite problem. Now on 1 a day and this is a game changer.  It's taken awhile to build up in my system but in 5 weeks I've only had 2 attacks--- and I was having 4-5 daily.  If this stays the course it's seriously heaven sent! Slowly getting my life back!"


"The first time that I took this medication I immediately became sick and it made my allergies worse.  It started by making my throat scratchy which tends to lead to running nose, itchy eyes and sneezing.  I presumed that it must have been the medicine because it happened immediately after I used the spray.  It was confirmed two days ago when I used the spray again.  My throat became scratchy and I felt horrible.  I believe that the medicine is causing post nasal drip which in turn is making my throat hurt.  I noticed that there is an additional ingredient in this spray called "Azelastine" that is not in Flonase.  If I had to guess I would say that is the reason for the sour throat.  I will not be using this product again."


"I had previously been on birth control for two years. The last year on the pill they changed it to continuous use due to intense cramping/bleeding I experienced. I had been thrilled at the concept of having no periods, until I started heavily spotting. For a majority of 9 months I had one colossal period and my OBGYN finally suggested to try an IUD(skyla to be exact). I am 20 years old and have never been pregnant. I had the iud placed March 10th 2015 and I have to admit the insertation was painful despite the ibuprofin I had taken, but also very quickly done. The pain has definitely seemed worth it, my cramps are now virtually gone and my "periods" are now constant and are VERY light spotting. Not to add, my PMS from bc is gone too!"


"I just wanted to post my encouraging experience. I got mine done 2 months ago after being on the pill for 3 years, prior to my appointment I couldn't help reading all the horror stories. I decided to change to the implant because it is the most reliable contraceptive method.

The procedure was so simple and only hurt a tiny bit, and only left me with a small bruise which I had for about a week. I got the implant inserted on the second day of my period and the bleeding stopped the same day. After 3 week with the implant I had another period around the same as what is normal for me, maybe slightly lighter. other than that, no weight gain (lost 2lbs), increased sex drive and much happier in general!
I love it! Definitely worth a try! "


"I took this pill for about 2 and a half years. It worked great, only had a few pregnancy scares from forgetting to take the pills on time. I usually always remembered but was sometimes a hassle to remember every day. I had good and bad side effects. It got rid of all of my acne and made my periods regular. I did gain about 25 pounds and had a much lower sex drive though. I did spot occasionally but not too often. If I decided to take the pill through my period rather than stopping, sex would start to hurt deep in my uterus eventually. That happened many times. I decided to get off that birth control a few months ago and I could tell that I had a complete change in my body. I lost weight and felt happier. My sex drive went up incredibly."


"After dealing with stress induced constipation for many weeks, I began looking to laxatives for release. Suppositories were not effective for me, so I gave Dulcolax a try after 3 days with no BM. All was well, no cramping or anything for the whole night. It did cause me to have extremely watery BMS  (3 or 4) by 7am next day. This was 1 capsule, I think.

After a week with no bathroom success and a weekend trip...I took it again. This time I took 2. I figured it had been 7 days, might as well. I took it at 10 though 10pm.  By 3am I'd had 5bms, and violent vomiting. Beginning to sweat, very hot, heart is racing, hands are shaking. The cramping in unbearable. If id hadmy phone, I would have called 911. It works, but never again. Oh my."


"I have been on different names of this pill for almost 6 years, and I love it. Have never had an unplanned pregnancy or even a scare (but I do use the withdrawal method also). My periods are great and always like clockwork. I used to have really bad cramps and heavy flow. Now my periods are manageable. I was 18 when I went on the pill and I did have to go without it recently. One month being off I developed a ton of PMS symptoms and a cyst on my breast! But once I got back on with Chateal.. The cyst and symptoms have all went away! Take it on time and make sure to prepare with refills and you will be fine! And as always just call your nurses if you have questions... Don't guess!"


"My face and eyes were so puffy I looked 10 yrs older, it did help the pain but I decided to use only on long days not sure if it also caused my legs to get swollen"


"67 years old with deteriorating disc disease and neuropathy.   I was on 1200 mg of ibuprofen  for five years. My doctor would only continue prescribing the prescription strength ibuprofen if I took a proton pump inhibitor.   I was extremely reluctant because of the side effects of a proton pump inhibitor or as I also have mild osteoporosis.  My gynecologist recommended Limbrel 500 as a replacement for the ibuprofen. I've been on Limbrel for two years. I've had no side effects and it works as well as  Ibuprofen"


"After years of hard drinking I woke up yesterday in the throws of death. Hands shaking so hard I couldn't type. Sweating. Spasms. Vomiting. Trouble breathing. I couldn't even walk my legs were like jello.

Having had hallucinations and seizure in the past from withdrawals I had two options. Go get beer (not an option, I was having panic attacks), or go to the ER. I opted for the ER. They gave me Libruim and hour later and every symptom stopped in about 30 minutes. The doc gave me a prescription for a week, and sent me off my way. I figured I'd start the next day, however I found sleep that night impossible. I decided to take 2 Librium at 4am and slept for 7 hours. I'm not even sure how I can type right now."


"Started at 15 mg, but found it ineffective. Then 20 mg worked only marginally. Found that 30 to 40 mg works great and I wake up far more refreshed than with ambien or lunesta. I know that exceeds the recommended dosage (and requires a pill cutter for 30 mg), but I don't care. That's what works for me."


"I got the Nexplanon put in in April of 2015. It is now August 2015 and it has been pretty ok. I have had only one full on period accompanied with Mood swings, headaches, bad cramps, and heavy flow. Other than that I spot a lot. I will have 3 days of light spotting and then 2 days of nothing, then a few more days of spotting, then nothing for a few weeks. Sometimes it's not even heavy enough to show on a panty liner. It's just more annoying than anything but I'd rather have that than periods. I have not gained weight, but I did start getting acne. I have not gotten pregnant so I guess it is doing its job and there are no surprise side effects that the doc didn't warn me about. I prefer the ring, but w/ breastfeeding this is my option."


"I have been on victoza since Feb 15 2017. I have had barely any side effects and have lost 30 lbs. The medicine does not work by its self I take the 1.8 dose and I eat low carb and low sugar. I also have fibromialgia and Hashimotos. I go thru the patient assistance program to get my victoza."


"Lisiniprol has been pretty effective for me.  I do go to the health spa 5-6 days /week for 45-50 minutes plus 10 minute swim / Jacuzzi.  My blood pressure has normalized to around 125/75-80. I recently asked the Dr. if I really needed to stay on the medication.  She indicated that if I started feeling dizzy/lightheaded, it means that the medicine is not needed.  I did have periods where I felt lethargic and tired, but could not figure out why. I also noticed that I experienced some brief 10-15 second balance and coordination issues. Did not encounter some of the other reported side-effects."


"So my wife decided to take this after we looked at many options in the store and I regrettably recommended it to her. It did nothing except cause her severe abdominal pain and cramps. It didn't do anything to help the constipation whatsoever. Plus the next night at dinner she had to run from the table to use the bathroom. It does not do anything it says it will."


"I have been using Epiduo every night for 3 weeks now and I can honestly say it has done wonders! I had terrible breakouts on my forehead and jaw line but this product has taken care of it and all I have now are red marks that will hopefully go away soon! There was a point where I broke out more but it seemed to be from my foundation so I would still recommend this!"


"I was diagnosed in 2007 and had since never had a viral load over 500, the last 3 years no viral loads over 100.. So this is my first time on treatment since being infected.  I started taking Triumeq as I wanted to prevent further damage to my immune system.  So far it's been great, no serious side effects.  And one month after taking my viral load was undetectable.  My only complaint is the cost... Which quickly took care of my out of pocket maximum."


"This medication worked very well to ease my ankle pain.  However, it left me feeling a little forgetful after taking it for a few days.  It also made me very drowsy.  But I was not in the severe pain that I had been.  The most negative reaction was when I stopped taking the medication.  The following day I felt nauseous, shaky, dizzy, and had the cold sweats.  The withdrawal symptoms were very unpleasant."


"I started taking this medication after suffering severe anxiety and unwanted thoughts for 13 years. I have been on this medication for approximately three months and the anxiety attacks stopped except for maybe two so far when it was 8 to 9 a day. The intrusive thoughts have not stopped yet but somehow the anxiety has, don't know how that is since the thoughts are what causes my anxiety but somehow it is easier to control my thoughts or get off of the intrusive thought that would have caused the panic attack. I am hoping 100mg helps me with the thoughts. Never stop trying and never stop being your own advocate in your mental illness. 13 yrs for me."


"I took this medicine for a bladder infection and took it for the full five days prescribed. The first day I felt immediate relief and reduced discomfort of about 50%. However with each day that followed my relief did not increase and within 12 hours of completing perscription my symptoms were back by 90%. So either the dose wasn't strong enough (100mg) or the prescription wasn't long enough. No way of knowing if either or both of these conditions were changed I would have experienced more success with this particular antibiotic."


"I took Clindamycin because of a severely painful infection that was present both before and after a root canal. I was apprehensive about taking this drug do to all of the bad reviews, however, the only side effect I experienced was the metallic taste, which honestly wasn't so bad. After what felt like childbirth pain near my root canal for two weeks that wasn't responding to other antibiotics, the pain subsided after just three days of taking this medication. If I had to take it again, I would do it in a heart beat. I took precautions when taking this medication, which is why I believe I didn't have any of the nasty side effects. While taking Clindamycin, I ate a bready substance both before and after taking each pill along water."


"I have been on zolpidem for several years and only take about 2.5 mg of my 10 mg tablet.
I tried Belsomra 10 mg (samples) Thursady night at 9 pm and I did not feel sleepy. The second night I took a 10 mg  table at around 9 PM I still do not feel sleepy so around 11 PM I took another 10 mg tablet and within 30 minutes  I felt weird and I knew I was going to have a rough night ahead of me and I was not going to get a good quality night sleep, which I did not!!!! The next morning which was Saturday (THANK GOD I didn't take 20mg  during the weekday) I felt horrible all day long and napped throughout the day up until 5 PM where I force myself to get up eat something drink a Mountain Dew just to feel alive again!!!
This medication is horrible"


"My doctor prescribed Micronor because I experienced depression and migraines with other pills. So far, so good - the first two months were totally fine, I didn't notice any changes to anything. This month I have had a little breast tenderness, but not significantly, and a couple of days light breakthrough bleeding. I have regular unprotected sex and so far, no babies... I'm happy with this drug and plan to keep using it until I want a baby."


"It gives me rapid relief of my muscle spasms starting within 10 minutes. It's the only 'as needed' medication I know of, whereas the others I've been prescribed are 'take at scheduled times' meaning they have slow bioavailability and one may be taking unneccessary doses."


"I read a lot of reviews on this product that had me scared to try this pill. BUT one thing I noticed is that the majority of people who were on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo  or whatever other product that is the 'name brand' version on this had the most problems with it. Anyway, I am on my 3rd week. I have not experienced any side effects that I could notice, seriously not one. I still feel the same way I did before I got on it. I'm taking this pill to regulate my cycle because it's so irregular and also for acne, which was most likely cause by imbalanced hormones. I haven't broken out since I have been on this pill."


"My starting weight was 285lbs. After a 3 months, I am 245lbs. I take 37.5mg in the morning and 15mg around 2pm. I will admit that in the beginning I was not eating as healthy as I should have been. Now I don't crave the sugar and fats that I used to. My once favorite food, Philly cheesesteaks, are only mildly appetizing to me. I have to remind myself to eat during the day. The only problem is that if I stay up too late I do start to crave junk food, carbs mostly."


"I had a migraine/headache for two weeks. I took everything over the counter nothing helped then I tried Hydrocodone it didn't help at all, then I tried my daughter's Midrin and it did take the edge off turning it into just a headache but it didn't take it away. I went to my Doctor and was giving an injection Imitrex and giving prednisone neither did anything, I went back to the doctor and was given Esgic that I almost didn't bother to get filled but the headache was still to much to deal with so after I took 1 pill my headache went away I could not believe it worked when nothing else helped. I also had blood work and a CT scan both that came back negative, so I have continued to take Esgic when required whenever I get a really bad headache or migraine."


"I have been taking Zolpidem for night terror for 5 years and has made my life so much better then you could ever think. I believe that I have never had a side effect to my recollection. I tried Lunesta and it really missed my up emotions. My only bad thoughts about zolpidem would be long term use is life time use?"


"I began the first pack and everything started out fine. There was no major side effects. Then, came my first period. What a complete nightmare. My period was light and heavy. Making me want to scream in pain from my cramps. I bleed through tampons left and right. Also, it would go on for two days then stop for one. Then begin while I was sleeping. My "period" lasted for 8 days in total compared to its usual 5. Now, two weeks later I've had bloody discharge every single day."


"The swab taken from my wound revealed NO serious bacteria, however, drug selected by consultant. I managed 8 of the 300mgs capsules which were prescribed 4 daily. What a hellish experience. Severe diarrhoea began following stopping drug after only 8 capsules. it continues. Severe fatigue, oral thrush and feeling 100% worse than having abscess treated in OR and wound packed, etc. I will never touch this poison again no,matter what is wrong with me!"


"It takes a while to adjust to this medication and find the proper dose.  Also, and this is not commonly publicized, this drug is extremely sensitive to degradation, especially by moisture, so do not keep it in damp places, like bathrooms, once the bottle is opened, and do not use old opened bottles of the capsules."


"BP dropped over 100 pts for systolic and diastolic pressures after ONE dose of 20/12.5 Benicar HCT. No side effects at all. Has remained below 120/78 for a week at two daily dosages of 20/12.5 AM and PM. Shortness of breath is gone, all leg and feet swelling is gone, and no increase in frequency of urination. Absolutely no  side effects and BP taken twice a day, AM and PM is around 113/63."


"I got my implant March of 2015 and had no bruising at all. I had no period until the middle of May and ever since if it actually stops I get a max of 4 days before I bleed again. Not heavy, but annoying and getting expensive with less sex than ever! The point of this was that I wouldn't have to remember a pill every day but now I have to worry even more. I'm getting married next month, I do NOT want to take tampons on my honeymoon!! I'd hoped my body would adjust between March-October but at this rate it might even out to one period a month by the time it needs to be replaced. I've also gained 15 pounds and the face cream I've been using for 4 years doesn't work anymore. Probably going to call them in the morning and go back on the pill."


"I was started on 10mg a day and immediately was coughing all night & day with a dry mouth and itchy throat. The coughing makes me sound like an 80 yr old smoker and I don't smoke. It did nothing for my bp so they doubled my dose to 20mg. Now I am constantly off balance feeling, cloudy thinking, anxious, body aches, and I drink tons of water but my mouth and throat are unbelievably dry. I feel better with high bp and no drugs."


"Viibryd has been the best medication I  have taken for my depression. I have tried a few others and had terrible results. Viibryd seems balanced. I feel more stable. Although i do have trouble with insurance covering the medication for some reason. I have great insurance."


"I've been on 10 mg Percocet, then 7.5mg, then 5mg now I am on 2.5mgs and they are perfect. I don't get all tired. I think percocet is a good pain medicine. I also take oxycontin and alprazolam but the oxycontin 40mgs are strong so I take them once in a while."


"I 100000% agree about the smell. Its pretty bad, do not let it touch your clothes or good luck getting rid of the smell. Your face smells like sulfur after the wash and your sink smells like sulfur as well. I would recommend useing this during a shower only due not having it touch your clothes and to make sure if washs off completely. If it gets in your eyes prepare for alot of burning. For acne its pretty good but just becareful"


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"Followed the directions to the letter- "Low-Fiber" diet starting 3 days before, liquid-only diet the day before. I took the 1st dose at 4pm and nothing.  Took the 2nd dose at 8pm, and nothing.  Finally, at 11pm I had a BM.  I was up most of the night after that, and was still going when I got to the doctor at 8:30am.  In fact, I was still passing stool right before the procedure.  Luckily the doctor was still able to biopsy what he needed, but said I was not completely cleaned out at all.  "It was like driving through a snow storm."  What a waste of 3 prep days!  Will use something else next time.

Only positives were I had a coupon so it only cost $40, and it didn't taste terrible.  But it didn't work, so there's that..."


"Burns????  This is the CROWN JEWEL of neosporin type topicals, i was first given it by a podiatrist when i had an ingrown nail.  that same summer i got big by a brown recluse on the foot, and it turned into an ulcer the size of a half dollar.  What the doctor gave me did nothing at all.  I used some silvadene and honest to god, the ulcer was GONE within 3 days.  A couple of nights ago, i stepped into glass accidentally, and pulled a 5 inch sliver out of my foot.  If i knew how deep it was i'd had gone to the hospital to have it done,  Been using slivadene, lots of it, as i'm a type 1 diabetic and you know what happens to diabetics who get things like this infected.  The pain was unberable yesterday, it's almost gone now."


"Worst medication ever. You can't function after you take it and you feel terrible for days after. It's basically benadryl ( a sedating antihistamine). Does nothing for anxiety expect make you feel weird and uncomfortable then puts you to sleep. Another sorry excuse, poor man's anti anxiety med. Stay away. If your doctor prescribes they are an idiot"


"I was switched to this coming off of Lexapro, from which I was having severe withdrawal symptoms: dizziness, nausea, a poor time sleeping. I got switched to Prozac because I felt Lexapro wasn't covering all my anxiety enough, and so far the experience has been...eh. Like a lot of other reviews have said, you'll feel great for the first few days and then things'll probably go downhill. I often feel I'm not in my own skin--empty. I have strange dreams. My self-motivation is poor, and I can't spend money without crunching numbers fifty times over. I can never seem to do things I enjoy without feeling guilt about something else. It saved my ass from the side-effects of Lexapro, but I'm not sure if the 20mg dosage is going to be enough."


"I felt Levitra was amazing!! I had mild erectile dysfunction (ED). A 10mg dose was probably more than I needed, the benefit was 12-16 hrs. I'm 48, 5'10" 160lbs, good shape, no other medical problems. The product took effect in minutes!!

Even if you have mild ED, see your doctor and try Levitra. You won't believe the results."


"Celexa has changed my life. I have severe panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder and worry about everything. I started the medication and within 24 hours saw results. I don't want to say I had a "I don't care attitude" but I did. Started with breaking the medication in half- 5 mg then after two days went on 10 mg. I am the happiest I have ever been. Smiling, not worried, singing, and back to the normal me. My job is the biggest issue and I can come to work, focus, perform my job and not worry about all the side conversations. This medication has saved me. I hope it lasts a long time. I was afraid of taking anything that would alter me, but this Celexa works. Happy Days are ahead!"


"The first time I took it,  50mg, it made me light headed, so I no longer used it until I had shoulder surgery. I would take one before bed time and did real well on it. No side affects, helped me sleep better, too!"


"I've been on Loestrin for about 9 months.  The first several months my flow was significantly reduced which I liked. I did experience some moodiness.  ONE moody episode was worse than my prior pills but I decided to stick with it and see what happens.  I'm glad I did.  After several pregnancy scares because I didn't get my period, my doctor reassured me that it was normal and the pregnancy tests were all negative.  Now, either my flow is panty liner light or I don't get it at all.  I don't mind it but I would like the reassurance of my period to prove I'm not pregnant.  But I really like the pill.  I don't have any more moodiness at all. My skin cleared up amazingly and I rarely have any bloating. (Prior brands: Estrostep Fe, Tilia, Trilegest)"


"I had Nexplanon put in October 2012. I had bleeding and spotting non stop for an entire year. I've gained 15lbs and there has been no change in my diet. My skin is very oily. My hair gets very greasy. I sweat a lot now. I used to never sweat. I break out all over my face, chest and back. I'm 25 years old and I've never had acne. I've been super moody. To the extent that my antidepressants needed to be increased. Anxiety has gone up. It wasn't until early November 2013 that my period finally stopped. It's been 3.5 months with no bleeding. I've had almost every bad side effect, but I can't get pregnant on it."


"I was initially approved for and was given 2 treatments of Humira for A.S.  Within 1 month, I noticed a dramatic improvement in my symptoms: reduced pain and increase in physical function.  Then my insurance company, Blue Shield of CA decided not to approve this treatment, indicating that I needed to try a cheaper medication, methotrexate along with a NSAID.  I have been on numerous NSAIDs, the only one which was successful in pain control was Celebrex, which they also denied approval.  I have not gotten the safe effect from the methotrexate and naproxen, in fact, I have never felt this bad even before the Humira.  I am appealing the denial of this wonder drug so that I may resume its use."


"2 months ago my insurance informed me they no longer cover Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo (that had no side effects)  and would basically have to switch to the generic form, Tri-lo sprintec. Being assured that it was the same thing and that keeping ortho would cost about 150, I went ahead and took the generic. I could only make it through 1 and a half packs before I couldn't take the side effects anymore. I was gaining a lot of weight for no reason, constantly bloated, breaking out, fatigued, suddenly depressed for no reason, spotting and even my period just starting for no reason! I finally finished my second pack today but my period started a week ago. Told the pharmacy to switch me back, worst BC, not the same as ortho lo."


"I was put on Loestrin 24 Fe because I have polycystic ovarian syndrome. The only side effects I have had are a tenderness of breasts. As long as it is taken at the same time every day, there aren't any side effects. 3 day periods that are light beat no period and crippling cramps and mood swings, this beats that by miles!"


"First time I took it I felt better almost instantly- it was truly crazy! The second time was the same but the third time it didn't help as much. However, it helped some and has so far kept me a little less feeling like I'm gonna puke. Better than nothing."


"Was prescribed Diclofenac Sod 75 mg for hip pain from a pulled muscle. First dosage caused me itches (I have had a slight reaction to Naproxen Sodium also) so was not too worried. I don't really see much reduction of pain and it appears a larger dose would give me hives.

Many years ago I had tremendous shoulder pain and was prescribed Baclofen. THAT drug helped me completely. I had no side effects (unsure of the dosage.

Perhaps I'll ask if I can retry that drug in place of Diclofenac."


"It worked ok but it made me kind of jittery. I think it may be because I take other medicines like Flexeril for a muscle relaxer. It also keeps me from sleeping good."


"I finished my 21 month Forteo injection program 6 months ago. I was disappointed to learn of only a 10% to 14% improvement in my bones.  I was not told so but I believed I would see at least at 50% improvement.  "


"It worked to get rid of neck pain and muscle spasms , but even with half a dose, I am unable to function the next day. I would be a dangerous driver. I feel like my head is wobbly and could fall off any second. I will not take it again until or unless my neck pain is so bad i don't care if I do anything the next several days.  I gave it a 6 because it was effective according to the guideliines, but my first thought was a 3.  At least with neck pain I could function."


"Its hard to rate a medicine as a "good thing" when you take it to get diarrhea, but overall this is far less nasty experience than I was expecting. Yes,the taste is bad and yes its hard to consume so much fluid in a short period of time, but it wasn't half as bad as I expected.  Within 20 minutes I started having effects and was done within 3 hours. Only a little nausea (in waves) and no cramping or other abdominal pain.  Took my 1st dose at 6 am, went to bed comfortably at 11, got up at 3:30 for my second dose, its almost 5 am and I am on the downside of the laxative effects and its pretty much clear liquid coming out. My procedure is at 8 am. I dreaded the prep so much, I get nauseated easily, and turns out the fasting was the worst part."


"This is the 3rd brand I've ever tried after having horrible side effects from the first two. For a while this pill really worked for me, and I thought I finally found my brand. But a lot of little things like rapid heart rate, headaches, and frequent infections I finally linked to this. I never got pregnant and it regulated my periods well. But eventually my body started rebelling against this pill and it wasn't worth it."


"I have been taking zanaflex for about 2 years. The best thing about this medicine is it helps me sleep and for me there is no grogginess in the morning. I'm totally alert. Not like with other muscle relaxants. However the medicine usually last about 3-4 hours so it's quite common to wake up in the middle of the night. I give it an 8 because it does work really well for me however I wish the effects would last a little longer to get a full nights rest and also because I can't take it in the day because it knocks me out.....cold."


"I got some samples from my MD, and after 4 days I'm feeling much better. First time in about a year I've been able to empty my bladder. First time in years I've slept through the night. There seem to be a couple of side effects; slight headache, back stiffness. Nothing as bad as lying in bed, awake, in pain, or being afraid to sit in a theatre for 2 hours. It's going to be expensive, but I'll save money on Flomax and endless bottles of Saw Palmetto."


"I was so skeptical about these shots, scared to death of the side effects after reading posts...I could kick myself! My shirts fall past my waist, I always looked pregnant. Slight headache, took generic aspirin, did the trick, hot flashes, weird but no that bad. Cycle, had one regular (heavy) period then skipped.
Overall, I was so satisfied, I just called and ordered my second shot (I get them quarterly).
Everyone reacts different to different types of medication...what works for others may not work for you but this did work for me.
Good Luck...Sorry for the grammer stuff was in a rush"


"I have been taking it to prevent pregnancy since I had my baby and so far it's been really good...hardly any side effects at all...only thing  I don't like is I'm a little more moody and get headaches sometimes but for having a period every other month now I'm right on time every month..I recommend it"


"I have been a "smoke only when I drink" smoker for about 20 years.  I started taking Chantix in January- smoked a few times but it really kicked in after 2 months.  What has been really wonderful is that I have cut down on the drinking a lot- I was never an every day drinker but I think my drinking episodes are down about 50%- what I was afraid of was that I'd drink too much and with my judgment and willpower gone I would smoke- but that has not happened.  I really think I am over it!  I have been taking one pill a day for about a month and have had 5 cigs total during that time- none of which I wanted.  I have not smoked at all for 3 weeks.  Would be interested to hear if anyone else had the same experience re; less drinking"


"Took it twice and vomited both times."


"For the past year and a half I have been suffering from GAD. It started off as minor hypochondria and slowly festered into major anxiety attacks and physical symptoms. Mostly at night my heart would race, I would get brain zaps and numbing in my arms. I would panic and thought I was dying. Occasionally I could calm myself down but sleeping was almost non existent. For the longest time I refused to see my dr about it. I didn't want to admit I had a problem. And no way did I have a condition that needed to be medicated!! Not me! Finally my husband called my Dr and set me up an apt. I am so thankful he did.I saw my dr and she reassured me that I'm normal. She prescribed me 10mg of lexapro and it had made a WORLD of difference.I highly reccomend"


"I had Nexplanon placed in January 2015. It was basically a last resort because I got pregnant on birth control pills, gained 80 pounds on depo, nuvaring didn't agree with my body & my mirena IUD dislodged itself and almost perforated my cervix and vaginal wall.
I didn't get a period until May 2015 then it came every month on the 15th. Bleeding was lite to heavy and varied a lot. December 15th I started my period and am still bleeding now. I was able to lose 50 pounds on this birth control. Bleeding is the only kinda down side in my opinion. Overall I love this implant."


"My husband has Parkinson's dementia and was put on Exelon patch 4 months ago.  He has psoriasis and the patch (we think) may have triggered it to be worse.  He does not want to stop the patch because of the good mental alertness he receives from it but the rash has become more widespread on his upper torso.  Doctor does not believe it is Exelon but I have begun to remove the patch after 12 hours and the rash has improved.  I believe the dose may be too high and causes the dermatitis.  Overall it is a good medicine."


"I have been on Lexapro for 6 months and it has been a life saver. I am 31 and have struggled with anxiety for 10 years. I was convinced that I could handle the daily symptoms on my own, but after 3 panic attacks in four days, I knew I couldn't. It was the best decision I've ever made."


"I am 63 and still fighting acne. I have been doing so since I was a teen. I have tried everything with the exception of Accutane. I now take spirinolactone and doxycycline every other day. I use Epiduo every night along with Cera Ve cleanser and moisturizer. My skin is the best ever. It is clear and when I start feeling a breakout I immediately apply Epiduo. I am so happy with this product. My skin also looks younger. I would recommend this to anyone feeling frustrated after trying other medications that did not work. I found side effects minimal and manageable."


"All in all, Mononessa has worked very well. I've been taking it for about a month, I'm just getting into the green colored tablets. I woke up at 4 am the second day throwing up but ever since then I haven't been nauseated. I have pretty bad acne, it hasn't really helped. I was hoping it would. But I haven't been overly emotional (no more than usual, that is) & it seems like my period is going to start right on time. It's great. I tried Yaz before this one and I spotted for a whole month. Was not going for that. But anyways, yeah, Mononessa's great! Glad I'm taking it now."


"I have been taking the tablets now for 3 weeks and felt no relief from pain after shoulder operation. I still take tramadol along with these tablets. My doctor doesnt think i need to be refered back to the specialist so just stuck with the constant pain... Happy days !!!"


"I don't recommend this shot to any female whatsoever, it's the worst thing you could do to yourself. I'm 18 years old & I've been on the shot for about 3 years now, I'm not using the shot had actual birth control, just for controlling my period & the awful cramping I would get. When I first got my shot I was bleeding for a few months straight, but then I never got a period AGAIN. Two days ago I was laying in bed when I got God awful cramps & I know these cramps for anywhere.. I'm bleeding a bit which is reddish brown but only when I wipe, & these cramps are horrible.. My mood swings have been terrible with this shot & the weight gain is ridiculous. I won't be getting my next shot in January, it's not worth it. I hope the cramps stop soon."


"Second time trying Chantix. I don't think I was ready to quit the first time.  I was a can a day chewing tobacco user. I'm on my 6th week and stopped chewing in week 2 switching over to nicotine gum. I feel I need to go 3 days with no nicotine to allow it to clear my system before ramping down on Chantix.  I haven't been able to get to 3 days even though I only have 1-2 pieces of nicotine gum.
Overall high rating, it works, you do feel terrible on it at the beginning. I couldn't taste anything except sweet, no bad dreams but woke up laughing out loud several times, so vivid dreams would be the best description.
I can't wait to be done with Chantix, but I no longer use tobacco."


"I honestly do not remember my experience much from switching to this BCP a year ago. What I can tell you is I've had NO negative experiences. What I HAVE just found out is you should NOT eat grapefruit (or drink the juice) while taking this pill. I didn't know this and just recently began eating broiled grapefruit for breakfast these last 2 weeks. Well, my cycle did not come and all I had was some spotting. Freaked me out thinking I was pregnant!"


"I  bought it yesterday for 6 eur.  My blister has already gone.  I cannot believe it is so expensive in the US."


"I am a nurse and had a hysterectomy as well as AP repair.  I received Duramorph and 48 hours later am relatively pain free. I have taken only 5 pain pills since the surgery. I came home within 14 hours of surgery. I am going to write a letter to my physician and anesthesiologist to recommend it to their patients BUT I do believe that your frame of mind going into any surgery will govern your outcome but thanks for Duramorph. My pain was less than 2 the whole time."


"I have had constant constipation on this medication, but it is a heaven sent, my doctor recommended me to start on Nopiate along with it. So far so good,both have been working great for my chronic pain."


"WORST SHOT EVER!! I just had one shot done and didn't even give the 2nd shot after 3 months a try.  Gave me horrible head aches, acne that's so huge I look disgusting to even go out in public, pain on my right ovary 24/7 , made me super mad and angry to the point my bf broke up with me and I'm even off the shot now and still have pain on my ovary . It's been 7 months and I only had one shot just ONCE and still no period . It's really upsetting and it makes me suicidal . It also made my boobs tiny IDK how that's possible but they went from C cups to As and still not back to normal ."


"Stated taking Lexapro 10/22/2015. Immediately afterward, could not achieve an erection or an orgasm."


"Got it this morning. I'm 21 years old and have no children. Beforehand I took two doses of Cytotec to relax the cervix and 800 mg of ibuprofen. The insertion was only mildly uncomfortable. The most painful part was measuring the cervix, which was a 3/10 on the pain scale at most. I did get a bit clammy during the measurement, but was completely fine after the procedure was finished. I even drove myself home and went to school only an hour later. I got it right before my period was scheduled to begin. I have had no cramping, no soreness or discomfort. Interested to see if I will see any side effects."


"I have been on Xolair since June 2009, and I can somewhat tell a difference. I don't use my rescue inhaler as much as I used to, and I don't get bronchitis as much. My maintenance medicines have not changed at all over the last few years. Still on the same doses and medicines. I have been using A LOT more of Prednisone though."


"I started my treatment back in October stopped my treatment because I didn't see a change I did see a little change but became very impatient because my skin became very dry especially around the eye area. It became so dry every time I raised my eyes it was painful the skin irritation is bearable but painful. I am currently back on, when I stopped my acne issue came back and was getting worse. I have an issue with picking my pimples until they become black scaring my face. And yes my skin around my eyes are very dry and painful but no new pimples and I have stop picking so we shall see I'm also taking 2 other types of medication I am suppose to apply two times a day but my doctor told me to apply once a day if I ran into this problem"


"I was midly irritated with a yeast infection. Figures it happens over the weekend so no doctor could be seen. So I go to the drugstore and decided I'll play it safe lefts do monistat 7. Day one it felt like liquid acid especially outside. I took my other medications and went to sleep, next day still burned but I'm like one more shot at the time I I thought OK the burning will go away and I will be fine. Let me tell you my crotch was swollen on fire and left a huge rash across my mid section. I didn't sleep I can't even wear anything because I feel like I was set on fire. Doctors didn't know how to cure this basically telling me it's a 50 50 chance prednisone will make this go away or make it worse I am beyond miserable I just want sleep :("


"I have had migraine headaches since I was  3 years old. I have been through 3 different migraine studies with different drugs and biofeedback. I have tried all the alternative treatments. Imitrex and others caused horrible side effects for me and didn't even touch my migraine pain. I went to a new clinic and the nurse practitioner gave me a sample pack of Frova to try. I had tried so many things by this point (30 years worth) that I had given up. I thought I would humor the pain clinic by trying it just to show them that it wasn't going to help me. 2 days later when I felt a migraine coming on I tried Frova. Within a 1/2 hr it was gone, completely gone not just reduced. It has worked every time since."


"I have been on Sprintec for 8 months now and was switched to it because insurance paid for the generic and not the name brand so I went from Ortho Cyclen to Sprintec. Since the second month I started Sprintec I have had the worst cramps I have ever had and a headache the entire week of my period. I have switched to Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo and have noticed a huge difference in my cramps and headache, they are practically gone. The mood swings I had on Sprintec was unbearable also. "


"Xanax is the only medicine that will work for me."


"I've had depression and anxiety all my life and tried about 10 meds.  Started a week at 10 mg & now at 20 for month.  Constant nausea, cramps, morning gas and have gone from lifelong constipation to loose bowels.  No other meds have ever shown a benefit including this one and I usually gain 10 lbs.  I was using samples and just got an rx last week & cant shake this migraine, could have been PMDD related also but I keep having cramps days after my cycle stops.  My pharmacy wouldn't even order it without making me promise to get it on auto refill because they don't keep it in stock because of cost/popularity which I cant afford. Caused petechia (busted blood vessels aggravated by nsaids) in my legs to come back that Zoloft created 3 years ago"


"I've been taking Trintellix for about 3 weeks and have been miserable. I know a new medication takes about a month before being able to tell if it works. From day one, I have had a headache, crazy dreams, a constant banana taste and cotton mouth. The dreams are disjointed, overlapping and exhausting. The banana taste is like that artificial flavor like taffy or snack cakes. It is constant, even after eating pickles. I am constantly drinking something to try to get did of the cotton mouth. I have a traumatic brain injury so my brain is wired differently. I'm taking 450Mg Lamictal and 300Mg Wellbutrin and now Trintellix along with it. I have a feeling that I'm going to have to stop taking the 10Mg of Trintellix"


"The first week and a half was unbearable. Severe anxiety, depression, and crazy vivid nightmares... then it was like a light was switched on and everything felt great. I was just upped to 40mg a week ago today and now I am back to severe anxiety, depression, and vivid nightmares... I really hope this pulls through for me once again or I am going back down to 20mg. My relationship was blossoming now I feel we are struggling once more, I refuse to lose my happiness due to this mental disorder!"


"Has made my situation 10x worse. Now I have this cream that won't come out and is more itchy than the yeast infection! It's been 2 days since I used the treatment at night and I'm still miserable! Never using this again."


"I used to take fastin/Fastin XR in 2012. Within a few short months, I went from a size 9/10 to a 4. I kept the weight off for 3 yrs after stopping this product. I’m only 5’3″, so all the extra weight on me was really noticeable. I didn’t like the side effects at all, shaking, racing heart…but it definitely worked. I just started taking this product again, a few days ago, because I’ve gained 35+ lbs within 4 months due to major lifestyle changes. I’m trying to get back on track again. Hopefully, I’ll get similar results this time around too."


"it really helped me out with alcohol withdrawal"


"I get yeast infections all the time & all I   get prescribed is Diflucan. No one listens to me that this doesn't work for me. Last Dr. at least tried giving me 3 Diflucan pills & take 1 every 3 days. Still didn't work. Don't know what else to do."


"Works great for me with no side effects......love it!"


"So I recently developed cystic acne, presumably because of my change in make-up foundation. This has never happened and it looks really bad, because it's mostly on my cheeks and the sides of my mouth, it's HIDEOUS. I went to my GP and got doxy (50mg) and an Epiduo gel. The gel was burning my skin and it also made my face VERY dry and super sensitive, so I stopped it. I'm still on the doxy and I'm eating it twice a day, for almost a week now... My skin is still super dry and it looks so bad... My acne has toned down, however.. stopped with the redness and also lesser "active" acne. The only problem now is that my skin is very dry and it's very sensitive (even when i put on moisturiser it hurts)"


"Cause a blood clot that traveled to my heart and almost killed me at the age of 25 after just 5 days on it. They lied about the clinical trials and it's safety and I'm sure they will again."
