"I was on Zoloft for two years. I started taking it after I had a panic attack due to extreme stress. It worked well for me. I tried Lexapro for a few days maybe 9 to be exact and I couldn't function. I couldn't lift my head or have the strength to care for my son who was a baby at the time. Zoloft was amazing. I stayed on 50mg and felt normal again. But with that said, I did gain 30 pounds. The medicine makes you feel so relaxed as before I was a calorie counter and obsessed with what I ate. I didn't mind much because I was better, that's what mattered. I came off of it and decided to get back on 5 months after stopping. I can say the second time around of being on it doesn't work for me. Like others, I must have become immune to it."


"I'm taking Nora-B for almost 2 years. First year was great 8 months no period and than suddenly the period start to show up every 6 months, than 3 months. So I'm asking if I'm taking this pill everyday at the same time and period is coming. Some headaches with it. So 'Im not happy at all. Thinking to change for another pill. Maybe the body got tired of  taking the same one."


"I'm 26 and have been addicted to Poppy tea for almost five years. Although I've only been on Suboxone for 3 weeks, I have to say it's really effective. I'm currently on 6mg and will be tapering to 4mg in a couple weeks time.

Any cravings I previously had for tea are completely gone, and it even decreased my desire for other things like Alcohol and Tobacco (though I only smoke when I drink).

"


"Great for nausea. However does cause sleepiness."


"Shortly after my 20th birthday, I developed what I later found out was major depression. After starting counseling, I reluctantly started taking Wellbutrin and within a few days was a noticeably different person than I had been the past 6 months. I began to act like my old self again, gaining confidence, and for the most part being free from all of my depression episodes that had occurred daily. The biggest side effects that I experienced were weight loss/loss of appetite and trouble falling asleep at night, but after about two weeks those both went away. I've now been taking 300mg daily for about six weeks and feel great! I'd encourage you to give this medication a try, because it can potentially really change your life."


"Originally I tried provigil. Nuvigil wasn't available yet. Loved it at first but as my body adjusted in my ignorance, I got nervous. I stopped. I had to deal with it. About 12 years later I tried again. This time I read more and I asked lots of questions.
I am a new person. I am so grateful for nuvigil!!
What I've learned (I am not an MD)
Start out with a low dose. Half pills are fine. (Do not exceed 250 mg unless dr prescribed). Your body may be adjusting not building tolerance for a year or 2. Take each week at a time
Naps still necessary; My naps are only about 30 min instead of 2 hrs but very refreshing
Take a day or 2 off every week or 2. Makes a huge difference!
Awesome insurance helps a lot! $5 per 30"


"Fast relief after injecting. Haven't had many other treatments. I use for cluster headaches."


"Qsymia is not a miracle; however, it does help with weight loss. With the proper life style changes in eating habits and physical activities (while taking Qsymia) pounds and inches begin to shed away. It may not be for everyone, but this is what has worked for me. The 72 pound loss in 5 months makes me a believer. Some of the side effect took me some time to get used to. The first week or two on the medication I had insomnia and tingling in the hands and feet, but it did fade as my body adapted to the medication. The only long lasting side effect that I notice is the metallic taste in my mouth, and lacking the ability to feel carbonation on my tongue.  I do not see it as a bad thing since soda is not healthy to begin with."


"This is my third week on Belviq and I'm happy to say I am down 9 pounds.  My goal is to loss 10 pounds the first month to justify spending another $263.  Looks like I will be able to purchase another month's supply.  Got 20 pounds to go."


"My doctor recommended this medication for relief of muscle spasms associated with trigger points in my upper back. This is the first medication that really helps to take the edge off when the trigger point fires up. I still get pain but it's no where near as bad as it used to be. I have had no noticeable side effects other than some mild constipation. One 15mg capsule twice a day works for me."


"I have been taking Pristiq for 5 days.  This is the first antidepressant I have ever taken.  It is working great, though the first day or two I felt like I was taking diet pills.  My appetite is gone and I have lost 4 pounds in 5 days.  I have felt a good deal of nausea, but have not vomited. I'm always thirsty and have trouble sleeping (which was a problem before Pristiq), but my doctor gave me Xanax to help me fall asleep. I feel better than I did before.  I hope it will work for you too.

"


"Okay I'm doing this for all of the girls out there who have mixed emotions and who are stressing out. And before you say anything, I know we are naive, young, and dumb.  We had protected sex on Saturday November 28 around 10 pm. Everything had been okay, until the  point I had got up and noticed the condom was in me but only a little bit, we had no thought of it until Monday, I over think a lot of things so I was worried that the condom had broke or even about pre cum. I bought plan b and took it on Tuesday( approx 62 hours later) and experienced horrible side effects. It must have been worth it though because I had gotten my period on December 10, my usual date. Don't stress! That's what I did."


"Cialis 5mg daily has reduced frequent and spotty urination with no side effects.  However it has done nothing for ED.

I have not had a prostrate exam since taking Cialis but assume it is reduced in size."


"I have used DMSO for many things related to pain and have had great sucess. It is the best I have used for fever blisters as it will dry them out over night. I am currently trying it as an oral liquid for hypertension. The side effects are slight redding of skin which soon goes away, and some itching above the waist when applied topically. It taste as bad as caster oil but gets rid of a toothache faster than any thing I ever used. Also got rid of warts in less than 5 days."


"Switched from Lovastatin to Atorvastatin with Gemfibrozil, resulting in much better numbers and no side effects."


"Only works when I add other natural supplements like garlic."


"30+ years living with chronic pain from severe whiplash in high school. Diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2000. Started anti depressants & naproxen. Meniscus tear. Laberal hip tear. Arthritis in neck knee & hip. Injections of cortisone. 2 lumbar surgeries L5-S1. Sciatic nerve had grafted itself to a shard of bone that was micro surgically removed that MRI never picked up. Very lucky surgeon found it. Disc fusion. My pain specialist put me on 200mg palexia. It helps so much as well as taking mobic anti inflammatory daily I can get through the day better than before. I do feel foggy but that's the fibromyalgia or fibro fog. Feel like a bit of a zombie at times. But it helps."


"Did not even notice initial administration of this drug.  Woke up feeling perfectly fine."


"After a stroke at 36 years old it became quite apparent I needed to quit. There was no way I could do it on my own though. I only smoked 1.5 packs per day but they were menthol and I inhaled them very deeply. Waking my wife up at night coffing for about an hour along with the stroke I figured what the hell.

She said I was quite nasty while I was on it ( 2 months ) but I really don't remember it. I did however eat a pill on an empty stomach once and thought it was burning a hole in my stomach that went on for about three hours.

Chantix saved my life it's been 12 years and still going.

Thanks Chantix Creators

Doug"


"Though low blood pressure was problematic from time to time, FloMax provided relief from that recurring sense of urgency.  "


"I have been taking this medicine for 2 years and it is the only thing that has worked for me. I finally asked my doctor about a non narcotic anxiety drug, and she gave me BuSpar. I am so grateful. I still have some unwarranted worries, but no where near the level I have experienced them without BuSpar."


"I have ben on Fentanyl for more than three years now with great success, no major problems or side effects. Although about three months ago I started having some real bad side affects from the drug. After about 24-36 hours of putting on the patch I would start to get pain, agitation,sick feeling all over my body, fatigue, restlessness, very tired, neck and back muscular pain and bad headaches as well as confusion and the sweats etc.. All the classic symptoms of the patch not working properly. I am in the process of talking with my doctor about rectifying the problem with my dosage and time frame on how often to change the patch. If I knew how bad the feeling was to withdraw from this drug was i would have never taken it."


"I was prescribed Zoloft for postpartum depression, anxiety and OCD of contamination. I took 10mg of Zoloft for two weeks only as it was ineffective for me. I experienced no side effects, which was the only upside. All medications work differently for different people. I experienced postpartum depression and anxiety only one month after my first and only son was born. As a first time mom I thought everything I was experiencing was typical, until I began having suicidal thoughts and resorted to self harm all taking a toll on my relationship with my son and husband. Waited until my son was 10 months old to finally get help. I felt severe anxiety still while taking Zoloft. Again this is only my experience with this medication."


"Started phetermine on 9/22/15  weighing in at 241...my first week I lost 5 lbs. Today I go in for second week weigh-in...had cut back to half pill because heart rate was to high. I'm on low fat diet and no refined sugars or white flour.  I work out 5 days a week.  It hasn't really curbed my appetite completely but I don't crave sweets so

thats a plus..

Update....as of 10/12/2015 i am down 14.2 lbs in 3 weeks...feeling great

Update....as of 10/26/2015 i am down 18 lbs...4th week lost a lb but muscle mass went up...5th week 3 lbs...im hoping monday 11/2/2015 shows good numbers..."


"This is the first medicine that dropped my back pain from 10 to a 2. I was on increasing oxycodone for years due to crushed back in accident. Had 5 herniated discs L1 - L5 which eventually developed bone spurs and arthritis. Severe radiating leg pain would cause leg numbness and some great falls in public. Surgery was recommended - I declined. 15 years later my psychiatrist prescribed it for anxiety/mood stabilizer to replace Depakote (also an anti-convulsant).
3 days later I noticed I could get by with Advil and gabapentin. Why didn't my ortho surgeon give me this? I take 900 mg/ day. Only been on it 3 weeks
and I'm a different person."


"After becoming sick with this disease doctor initially started me on methotrexate pills and I developed what they call "phantosmia"...I smelled horrible things that weren't there.  So we switched to injections and didn't get the smells anymore.  Then he started Enbrel as well.  I felt good for awhile and decided to stop the methotrexate because it was making me tired and weak.  Two years later, I'm back on if because my back and neck were killing me and  I'm getting 60-70%r relief after one shot of .8.  Pretty happy about that but the trade off of sleeping all day and being weak and nauseated all reminded me of why I stopped too.  But it does help so you weigh what's important to you."


"Worst birth control ever. I started taking it after my doctor thought I would get pregnant.... even though condoms are used. I've been on it for 1 1/2 weeks now and my body rejects the pill by vomiting it back up. I've had a really bad acne breakout and I have started to get panic attacks so bad that it's hard to physically and emotionally function. At this point, I'd rather go through 9 months of pregnancy and a million hours of labor than take this."


"300mg 3 times a day after having vertebres C 4-5-6 replaced.. pain persisted with arm and hand numbness Neurontin with Percocet tens seem to help very well.."


"I have Bipolar Disorder II, diagnosed 4 years ago. I've taken a wide variety of medicines during that time. In my experience, many medications are good for ending a manic episode, but nothing has ever helped me with the ensuing, longer-lasting depressions.  3 months ago my psych suggested Latuda, and I agreed with zero expectations of success.  The result has been miraculous.  Within a week of starting, all negative feelings were gone.  I experience nausea when I take it, but that is a small price to pay for such a major shift in my well-being.  My appetite remains normal, and I've lost 5 pounds since starting Latuda because I have motivation to exercise again.  Highly recommended to anyone who is BP II and wants to break out of depression."


"My story; I hope it gives strength & even though you feel like shit now with the RIGHT TREATMENT & DOSE YOU WILL GET BETTER. In a nutshell; abusive relationship, court case & bullying at work which resulted in me resigning. Venlafaxine given for 9 months but felt like a zombie/emotionless. My "genious" GP thought it would be good for me to stop immediately. NEVER DO THIS - TAPER OVER A MONTH as I got discontinuation syndrome. I fell into a deep depression & felt mentally unstable reporting to A&E twice. I was terrified & spent weeks just lying on the floor to stop me topping myself (totally out of character). Sertraline saved me when the right dose was found. Try mindfulness to help with the tough times. YOU WILL RECOVER."


"I started taking Loestrin 24 Fe after taking Tri-sprintec for 4 months and experiencing depression and mood swings.  I just finished my 3rd pack of Loestrin 24 Fe and I did not get a period each of the 3 months.  I took a pregnancy test which was negative.  Reading these other reviews makes me feel at ease that this is not unusual with this pill, but I am still planning on calling my Dr.  I felt like I had all the physical signs of getting a period each month, but nothing at all.  Other than no period, I only had sore breasts at the start of pack 3, but that went away in 2 weeks. I do experience nausea, but I get that with every pill I have tried so far.  Not sure if I like a pill where I don't get a period."


"I get a shot when my eczema is flaring and this stuff just makes everything stop. I love it, it's like I finally have normal skin for a while. I get shots every few months and they are wonderful."


"It is a good antibiotic for anaerobic bacteria. I prescribe it for my patients in conjunction with another antibiotic for the aerobic bacteria (example Amoxil)."


"I use the 20 patch for fibromyalgia and arthritis. I now use less of my other pain medicine. Overall I am very pleased with this product."


"I had used numerous other eye drops in the course of 3 years prior to being diagnosed with Sjorgen's Syndrome.  The only succesful drops were the Theratears (single usage-no preservatives). Unfortunately it has been just in the past 8 months or so that I have not been able to purchase this product at any drug store located in South Central Ontario Canada.  Once again I needed to try some other drops that where accessible to me.  No success and much frustration.  I decided to take the big step and order on-line directly from the company. (Never thought I would do something like this but I was desparate)  Thank you ever so much for shipping this product because it is indeed a life saver.  Thank you Theratears."


"I finally made the decision to seek professional help for my depression/major anxiety.  After trying to self heal for 2 years, I realized that I couldn't beat the anxiety on my own.  I cried the night before my Dr. appointment, due to feelings of failure because I couldn't cure it myself, and I also cried through my entire appointment.  I was severely depressed from having to live with anxiety and fear.  A horrible and embarrassing thing to live with.  My Dr. perscribed me Celexa and I honestly didn't think it would work.  I almost gave up taking Celexa because it took 3 weeks to kick in and I am impatient.  After taking Celexa, I find that I am much calmer. I don't worry about things and I am happier and less fearful.  Only side effect is grinding of teeth."


"I wanna take the time out to thank who ever invented Zoloft. I use to be so depressed,  I didn't want to be around my kids or my husband.  I would tell my husband I was tired of existing.  My life was turning inside out. So I knew I needed help so I talk to my doctor I explained to her what I was going through and she said Zoloft would be perfect. I didn't want to believe I needed meds but coming to find out it wasn't bad at all. I'm happy now my kids love to play with me and think I'm so cool!!!  My husband who was so patient just loves all over me and he's proud I didn't give it. I'm only 28 yrs old and I feel like I'm a teen all over!!! Thanks Zoloft"


"I usually don't read reviews on medication because I want to give the drug an unbiased try.  After 5 weeks on Vraylart the lowest dose, here are my adverse reactions:  insomnia, panic, paranoia, fear, mania, easily startled, itching, rash, decreased vision, dry cough, gerd, upset stomach, increased urination, loose stool.  The insomnia started immediately.  I would sleep a couple of hours and then be wide awake.  The drug wore me out because of all the resulting side effects. I had no side effects on Seroquel and, after discontinuing the Vraylar, I am relieved to be back on it."


"Increased anxiety and insomnia, did not control my SPS."


"This was prescribed to me a couple of days ago by a doctor for a suspected urinary infection, as due to being pregnant i cannot take the usual antibiotic that would be prescribed. ITS HORRIBLE! I wish i had never taken it and have spent the last 24hrs, tired and sick with nausea, passing out, diarhea, blurry vision, my body feels sick and poisoned. I have no idea whats in this but its terrible and hasn't helped at all. I am having shortness of breath, just moving around is such a struggle. Have stopped taking and will be going back to doc for something alternative, when i can get up and actually get there safely without passing out. Will never take this again!"


"Had a tooth pulled the other day, Vicoprofen worked great for swelling/pain.
"


"I started aleese near the end of November and within the first week I noticed RED itchy dots on my face. At first my doctor told me it was because of the foundation I was using . But once I got about 2 months into using  this birth control I noticed a cycle with my face, terrible acne, itchy bumps and one of my eyes very red and swelled. I had very nice skin before this birth control , but the whole time using alesse my skin was FILLED with acne. Although it was very effective at preventing pregnancy, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin. Once I stopped taking it a little over a week ago, I've had no problems with my skin"


"I started Adipex May 30 at 233lbs, today is June 2 and I'm 224lbs. I've eaten morningstar and drank nothing but water.  I haven't started exercise yet because I have a joint disorder in my foot but so far I'm down 9lbs in 3 days. Take pictures to note your progress and a food journal."


"I went to a very expensive weight loss clinic.  I followed a strict eating plan while I took the medicine.  I'm over 50 and nothing has worked for me for the last 8 years.  It was because of the Adipex.  I lost 25 lbs in 12 weeks.  I have been maintaining for 5 weeks now.  I still follow the strict eating plan, but not being on the medicine, I'm not losing weight.  I wanted to make sure I could maintain the loss.  I'm going to my PCP later this month and am going to do another round and lose the final 10-15 lbs that I need to lose. This medicine just "shuts your mouth", that's the best way to describe it.  It does give you energy, it focuses your mind.  I was worried about how I would feel after stopping, I weaned for about 5 days with a half pill."


"To anyone just starting Abilify, please reconsider. I started it as an add-on to Lexapro. Initially, it helped me feel like  getting out of bed in the morning with slightly more energy or a better outlook, or I just wasn't as groggy when I woke up.  Initially, that was helpful & I got the Rx free or cheap, so I took it for over 2 years.  When I finally realized all these new problems were connected to Abilify , it was too late... 50 lb weight gain,  constant involuntarily movements of fingers, toes & tongue, mouth sores, wild, harmful actions with no conscience or regret, many more.  Then the worst withdrawal symptoms.. I wished for death for months it was so awful.  A year after stopping, I'm still not the same & probably never will be."


"This medication has been a major game changer for me. Before starting this medication, i was so severly depressed. I was taking other antidepressants at that time. They were helping to make me at least functional, most days just doing the bare minimum seemed too much. Eventually my PCP added 150 mg of Wellbutrin XL on top of the medication I was already taking. Since then we have up to 300 mg. I finally have energy,  a desire to do things, and i feel the happiest i have been in a long time. Im not sure what kind of experiences other people have had on this medication, but since I have been on it I have had minimum negative side effects."


"Currently take 75 mg of Zoloft per day to help with panic attacks and anxiety (no depression). Took about 1 month for my panic attacks to totally stop. Still had anxiety but now that I've been on it for almost 3 months I have almost NO anxiety. Did experience a side effect of my jaw clenching starting in the 2nd month. When I was on 100 mg (my doctor didn't believe this was a side effect of the medicines (but I am CERTAIN), so I backed myself down to 75 mg and after 2 weeks of being on that reduced dosage the jaw clenching went away. SO grateful for this medicine. VERY IMPORTANT- if you have anxiety, panic, or depression. GET COUNSELING- it helps almost as much as the medicine."


"Best thing since sliced bread. Got my blood pressure down. No side effects and covered on my insurance. It works great. Thanks to this company for making a winner"


"99% of the time my migraine symptoms fade within an hour.  I have had to take a second tablet only twice in ten years. I can function as normal.  The only drawback is feeling tired and increased urination,  but compared to going through a 36 hour migraine,  that's nothing!"


"Reading so many of everyone's experiences reminded me of so many of my own horrible memories.  Never wanting to go out to eat, having to take an IMODIUM before and after eating out, looking for the bathrooms at each stop just in case, NEVER wanting to go too far out away from the house, road trips were horrible and my job requires a lot of driving, lots of abdominal pain and sometimes having to do a lot of cleaning up. When I first started taking this I actually stopped after about 2 weeks because the normal BM's and lack of abdominal pain I confused with constipation...it was such a different, weird feeling to be normal.  I am back on it and once again am getting the relief I got in the beginning."


"I had severe acne and after a few months since starting the medication, I saw extreme results. Now, 1.5 years since starting the medication, I have been acne free for over a year. Best choice my doctor and I have ever made."


"I have Lupus, RA two other types of arthritis, nerve pain, back problems and many other health problems. I'm only 30. I tried many pain medicines, Dilaudid is the only thing that I can take without horrible side effects and poor quality of life. There is no 12hr form of Dilaudid, ones being made but not yet released. Pain Dr wanted me to try a 12hr pain medicine tried Opana within 20 minutes I felt horrible and it lasted hours. Next try was Methadone. Just took my first(and LAST!)dose 11hrs ago at the 4th hour severe horrible side effects of this drug hit me. Chest pain dizziness, nausea, slow heart rate, hallucinations nervous/figidity. I'm still very ill from it! I take very low dose Xanax for tremor possible interaction but not a good drug for pain for some!"


"Love this birth control! I have used several other types of birth control and the Nuvaring is by far the best. I was on "the pill" and it made me very ill, depressed, and gave me mood swings. I like Nuvaring because it is one of the lowest doses on the market. I believe I need a lower dosage amount when it comes to Birth control. I haven't had any problems with the medication; no weight gain, no mood swings. My period is on time every month and very light, compared to my regular period which is very heavy and painful accompanied by pretty bad PMS. Also, it has helped with my ovarian cysts! All birth control methods produce different side effects in different women, but all in all I think the Nuvaring is a great form of birth control for me."


"I only use Emla to have sex. I use it one hour before I have sex with my wife and I enjoy longer intensive sex. I am german and I bought it in germany for %u20AC 27.90 euro in a 25mg tube, much much cheaper then here."


"I've been taking Seroquel for 7 years, after 20 years of delusional thoughts, mania, and large amounts of depression. It worked within two weeks and I noticed that when I woke up each day that my delusional thoughts were getting easier to identify and let go of. It changed my life. Since taking Seroquel, I have been able to learn how to drive, work in permanent jobs, save money, travel overseas, socialise, have a successful relationship and reconnect with the real me. I have also worked on my cognitive and emotional development and continue to attend counselling. I have gained 30kgs, but this has probably come about due to the combination of Seroquel, inactivity, diet and Sleep Apnea (of which I have only just been diagnosed)."


"I started  this four weeks ago and I have lost 14lbs. I have tried different weight loss programs and nothing would work. Then my doctor said that is one he recommends and I am so glad."


"I was on levothyroxine for 10 years and it never did anything for me. My levels were never optimal and I continued to gain weight, be depressed, and waste money on a useless drug. So far with the Tirosint my only side effect is a slight headache. For the first time in my life my hormone levels are excellent, but my wallet is empty. Tirosint is ridiculously expensive. I use a compounding house which sells a month supply to me for $68 (Willow), as opposed to the  $125 per month that CVS wanted. I feel the price is a disgrace and something needs to be done about this. I have insurance that does not cover this drug (BCBS). My doctor gave me a discount coupon for $35 a month but Blue Cross Blue Shield would not honor it. Ask your doc for this."


"I have been taking Venlafaxine for one week. It seemed to help immediately when I started using it. At last I am no longer wrapped up in my own thoughts, going over the same thing again and again. I have obsessive thoughts due to a bad relationship with a relative. I am enmeshed in the relationship and have tried talking therapies and Prozac.
Nothing has given me relief like this medication. I have had only mild side effects, dry mouth, some loss of appetite."


"Great for skin"


"My 4yr old son has Autism/ADHD/OCD. After coming off of Risperidone my sons' Neurologist wanted to try my son on Quillivant XR. Our Pharmacy had to special order this med due to there was nobody else in this county that takes it. The 1st dose of this med that my son took he went WILD!!! He got violent with us, and just refused to eat ANYTHING, he was also up for 22hr straight! He only had 2 doses of this med (day 1 & 2) then I had to call his Dr and to have him taken off the med. We ended up going back on Risperidone and Guanfacine. Once I stopped giving my son the Quillivant XR med he started acting like his old self again."


"I was 65 when I got psoriasis, tried everything possible until I told my derm. I have to have something. I have received 2 inj. & feel it has pretty much saved my life (not really) but I'm so much more comfortable. However I retired in Jan. & my ins. changed to Humana which will not cover Stelara, so at this time I am stressing (worst thing you can do) about how I can continue this inj. without having to pay the enormous price, so I am researching everything possible...long story short I have definitely benefited from the Stelara..."


"Absolutely amazing drug. Side effects can be a bit crap for the first few weeks. Always takes a good 4 to 5 weeks to kick in. Stick with it."


"This is my first experience with birth control and I've only been on it about two months but I hate it. The pills make me crazy emotional; I've been crying over absolutely nothing and I get paranoid about every little thing. Don't get me wrong, I love not having to worry about pregnancy as much but I just feel depressed and not like myself at all. The good sides to this pill are that it makes my period very light with hardly any cramps and it also has cleared up my acne a bit but not completely."


"Been on Tyvaso for 3 years. It has improved my PH significantly  10 to 12 puffs a sitting.  Always made me cough but recently the cough has gotten worse. Not going to stop just take fewer puffs"


"Reading some of the other reviews, some people rate this as a 7 or 8 because it doesn't take away all their withdrawals or restless legs syndrome, etc.  Well, we all must have the realization that we must pay the Piper someday.  Mine was 2 days ago.  After at least months and possibly years, I was taking norco/hydrocodone and kept it somewhat in check at about 60mg a day.  One major reason I kept taking Norco was because of my newly found Restless Leg Syndrome that I knew was from pain medicines. I must tell you, it feels like my fears are gone.  You can't have your cake and eat it too, but this is damn close for getting rid of a lot of withdrawal symptoms.  Not sure if I recommend taking during the day though as I quite sleepy."


"I thought that Chantix wasn't affecting me. I was on it for 2 weeks and experienced no side effects (even with taking the pill on an empty stomach and accidentally double-dosing). It didn't MAKE me want to quit or make cigarettes taste bad.

I decided to quit the day after Thanksgiving. To my surprise, I didn't have any of my usual withdrawal symptoms. Usually, I am like Mr. Hyde in my temperment. I thought of having a cigarette, but it was a 'thought' and not a craving. For me, Chantix didn't make me put down the cigarettes, BUT it did take away my withdrawal symptoms, leaving me only having to deal with the mental pangs of wanting one. I tried a cigarette 2 days after quitting and it tasted horrible. Not going back to smoking ever."


"I have had Implanon for about two years. I love the fact that I haven't gained any weight the only problem I do have are the mood swings. I can relate to a lot of the comments that people have left about not feeling yourself and not knowing the source of the horrible anger. My mood swings are making me reconsider this birth control because I feel it's affecting my relationship. I have had times where my period came for 2 1/2 months and really bad cramps. But on the other hand it's a relief not having to take pills everyday or go through the pain of the IUC or IUD"


"Works great but I have to take benadryl to help me sleep through the vivid dreams"


"I have had three very good experiences with Lexapo. To any readers in deep depression and with anxiety, rule one is to not take bad experiences you read on the web as your future experience.  Each time I have experienced major depression, I started on 10 mg and had to grind my way through at least 4 weeks to feel any positive effects and the worse side effects were gone.  I was bumped up to 20mg and it took two weeks of living through hell again and than suddenly it was gone.   Exercise, get out and face your demons, and remember it can and will get better (yes, hard to believe when they could scrape you off the wall but it will happen). Good luck ... you have my sympathy and encouragement."


"I have been on the mini pill for a couple of years now, and while I don't like it as much as I liked my previous BC, it is the appropriate method for me right now. Because I have migraines, my doctor did not want me on a combined pill due to increased risk of stroke.

I will eventually switch to the copper IUD when I have a job where I can handle the heavy periods it MAY cause. For now, I am not prepared to deal with heavy periods due to my job description and hours so I will stick with the mini pill since my periods are pretty short and light (albeit unpredictable). My worst side effect is breakthrough bleeding or surprise periods, usually from being late for a pill.

Compared to previous combination BCP, I have had fewer side effects."


"Was percribed this while rapid cycling and in a mixed manic state. Works great, I had no side effects. Been stable on it for 2 months now, taking 1000mg at night."


"This was a great anti-depressant but I gained weight."


"I've been living with lower pain for the better part of 10 years now and almost all pain medications have been ineffective for me. I've been on Darvon (until it was removed from the market,) Vicodin and Tramadol. All providing limited amounts of relief. Recently my doctor decided to prescribe Nucynta IR 75 mg. From the first week taking Nucynta, my quality of life has improved tremendously. I've been able to resume moderate sports activity and it's dropped my PDI from an 8 to a 2. For me that's a huge improvement."


"I started taking celexa over a year ago for anxiety and stress. I had some mild side effects the first week, but it has been great since then. I started on 10mg and switched to 20mg after a month and have been at that prescription since. It probably took at least a month before I started noticing a difference. I take it at night and don't have any troubles sleeping or any other side effects. This medicine has completely changed my perspective. I'm much more calm and just happier all around. I used to be very high strung and easily stressed, but not anymore! Highly recommend!"


"I have been on 150mg for a little over a month, and I have lost a total of 16lbs already. Which I could use to loose some weight. But I do feel sometimes that I am very fatigued and my memory is lacking."


"I was born with neurofibromatos and saw over 20 doctors in the last year with 4 MRI's.  I have 1000's of little bumps on my back and one on my left side that is the size of a golf ball wrapped around my nerve and muscle. I finally went to a pain specialist and he put me on this drug.  It's my 3rd day on it and I am taking 100 mg's now and  in two more days will be on 150mg.  So far this is amazing.  I went golfing today and I had no pain in my swing.  I can finally get back out in the course and have no pain in my back swing.  I'm glad I have not read any negative comments about this drug.  It really is a miracle."


"I ache bad from this medicine. Like a giant tooth ache. I can barely sleep at night since I started taking it."


"I let my son try this today for the first time.  He complained of having a sore throat, didn't eat hardly any of his lunch and then threw up in the car on the way home from school.  This is a 6 year old who's only 46 lbs.  We also had 2 instances today where he swears he saw something that wasn't there.  It's 11:30 at night and he is still up on a school  night.  I put him to bed 2 and a half hours ago.   This is my first experience with a stimulant for his ADHD.  No he won't be taking this again tomorrow.  After reading all the possible side effects and how common they are I'd rather have a kid bouncing off the walls all day than one who can't go to bed at night and may loose weight when he's already underweight.  Never again."


"Will not stop itching, it is not meant to. What it does very well is to keep the skin medicated/lubricated so that it does not itch due to dryness alone. I had used similar meds in the 50's for childhood eczema, which is why I went to it again 60+ years later. I have yet to find something which will effectively stop itching for anything but a few minutes without deleterious effects."


"I could make it to the bathroom door, but could not even get into the bathroom when there was a small leakage of urine.  That happened twice and while at my doctor's office for a routine visit I consulted with him.  He sent me home with a seven day sample of Detrol LA 4mg capsules. I tried them 14 more days with my pharmacist. For me (a female age 84) this medication has been excellent. There may be side effects but they are easy to deal with compared to any of the other overactive bladder medications that I have studied about."


"I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1988. Since I started taking AMPYRA (8/2013), I have experienced marked improvement in cognition, speech, diaphragm and core muscle strength. These gains were accomplished with the help of P.T. and O.T. professionals and continuous improvement efforts on my part (range of motion and exercise).  Benchmarking and goal setting has helped me recognize the drastic changes taking place.
Specifically, hand and finger dexterity, arm and shoulder range of motion, trunk stability, legs, feet and overall muscle regeneration after years of chronic deconditioning.
The results are readily apparent to my Physicians, family, care team,  friends."


"I was scared to try this birth control cause of all the negative feedback I was reading, but I got it inserted in October 2010 and the first three days were scary because I felt a rush of hormones (like if you took 2 birth control pills at once).  I am very sensitive to birth control, so I was scared because I thought that I would have the worst reaction.  But, after 3 days, the "hormonal feeling" subsided and I have had maybe three periods in 6 months and all have been light and easy.  I have had no weight gain and nothing really negative to say about it at all!  And, I am not pregnant, phew!"


"I am a first time user took the shot in April after giving birth in Feb and I can't wait for it to be over!
Never doing it again!

Lack of sex drive
Appetite increased
Mood swings
Night sweats
Crazy freaking dreams
Tired all the time
Hair loss
Light bleeding for a whole month

Can't tell if the lack of sex comes from the shot or the birth. Hair loss may be due to be breastfeeding. Gus's I'll find out after this is over.

Works well in preventing another pregnancy but I'm not going to do all this for that!"


"Well I'm the first one reviewing this... I got my Kyleena IUD placed on Dec. 2nd 2016. It was painful but no more so than other IUDs I've read about. The issues I'm having is contant spotting. I've been bleeding lightly (where I have to wear a light pad so I don't ruin my underwear every day) for two months now. The office told me about a month ago that my spotting is normal and most likely means once I stop spotting I'll be done with my period for the five years Kyleena is good for. But I'm starting to get a bit worried... two months of bleeding seems excessive. Any one else have experience with this?"


"I've had Nexplanon for 7 months and have been bleeding almost every day for 6 of those months. The bleeding is light, but enough to wear a tampon so it's consistently annoying. On the plus side, once your body gets used to Nexplanon, you forget it's in your arm and I'm also not pregnant, which at the end of the day is its job. I have 3 friends who tried Nexplanon and it worked for 2 of them (they're both on their second ones). Before trying it, be aware that some insurances will not pay for you to get it removed if you want it out before the 3 years is up, so make sure you check with them in case it doesn't work. I do think it was worth the try and would be willing to try it again in the future, but it definitely is still quite flawed."


"Works pretty well for the pain, but having severe side effects (involuntary musclular movement involving jerking of legs and difficulty speaking, urinary retention and inability to urinate, dramatic weight gain of 30 pounds so far)"


"I have been taking this medication for 8 months now and I have to say that even though it gives me diarrhea and I'm stuck to the bathroom for a little bit of time in the morning, it's much better than dealing with the absolute intense pain and constipation I have had for 20 years. I think Linzess has this interesting side effect that is difficult to deal with sometimes but for me it is well worth it thank God for linzess."


"I have been taking Copaxone for about 3 months now. Copaxone controls my MS better."


"I would definitely try this for migraines if you haven't already.  I had used Imitrex pills for a few years and suddenly they stopped working.  I tried a couple different pills and then found Maxalt.  The only problem with the pills is that I have to take them right away.  Once the migraine has started they don't take away all the pain, only like 60% for me.  I was on Maxalt for a few years, then put on Cymblata and didn't have migraines for 2 years on that, but then they came back and Maxalt didn't help me...  Now I use Imitrex Statdose because I never catch my migraine until it's terrible but the injections get rid of the pain fast!"


"None of the other brands has functioned for me like Zegerid.c.  I have used others for a long time without any results. This costs  more but it the only one that works. No other choice.                     "


"Nope, never again. Worst month of my life. Nausea, cramping, random bleeding, irritable-- not just irritable.. I had a mental breakdown and felt like I wanted to kill myself because I was frustrated trying to pick an outfit to wear (not typical, usually I don't care at all). All this within two weeks of starting the medication. I stuck through a month and couldn't handle the negative emotional side effects. One more thing.. LOW LIBIDO. There was no point in being on this because I didn't want a thing to do with sex while taking it anyways. This pill can ruin a relationship. NO THANKS."


"I was hesitant to take an antidepressant, but glad I did.  Thought the initial dose was TOO strong, made me a walking zombie, I cut it in half and took it just prior to bed.  My hot flashes have gone from one an hour to only a couple a day. Night sweats have all but gone.  It did take about a week after I cut the dose, but saw a gradual reduction in frequency, duration, and strength almost immediately.  Worst side effect is a severe dry mouth, but I've always needed to drink more and the Biotene products have also worked well for this minor irritation (...compared to the hot flashes which had not reduced over the last five years.  Thought this was supposed to go away after a while). Luv this medicine."


"I took this medication for 6 of the 10 prescribed days and discontinued it on my own due to severe pain all over my body.  The pain felt like a serious muscle/joint pain, mostly in my elbows, feet, ankles and shoulders.  It has been about a week and I am still hurting and taking it easy.  Forget the gym, that makes it much worse.  I am taking pain medication daily (both NSAIDs and other meds) and it seems to help."


"Due to a recent endometriosis diagnosis my doctor switched me to Lo Loestrin from Sronyx. The first day I took the pill I started cramping and bleeding like never before. I usually have really bad cramping, body aches, heavy bleeding but only for 3 days. It's now been 9 days on the pill and I am still bleeding heavily, cramping and having body aches. I don't understand and am so worried. I started the pill to control all these symptoms but its been very frustrating and confusing."


"Okay, it will be 2 years that I've had this implant in my arm in January.I personally like it. I have always had very severe cycles; to the point of me passing out and having to constantly get blood transfusions and iron infusions. Now, when I first got it put in last year, I was on my cycle. After getting it inserted, my cycle came off the very next day. About 1 month later, I had the worst cramps EVER. It honestly felt like i was about to go through childbirth again. Nevertheless, my doctor prescribed me some medication and that took care of that. Now, I have gained at least 25 pounds being on it!!! That is something that I just hate. I do have acne on my back and this year, my cycle stayed on for 4 months, but it was light. No complains"


"I was on this med for 11 years.  Now another med is cheaper for insurance,I have to use it.  I cannot lose weight and my menopausal hormones have done me for a loop this year, but I cannot blame it on the med.  My reverseT3 is fine so I don't need cytomel or the natural thyroid meds."


"I've been in severe pain for about 8 years and I'm only in my early 30's. Have been told by too many doctors that I have fibromyalgia but cannot function on Lyrica. Been on Oxycontin 60mg twice a day for almost 3 years now. I was able to work and take care of my child. But lost insurance and can't pay the for Oxycontin. So I haven't been able to work. "


"Been on Invega ER for two months; so much better in the head, sorted the acute psychosis out, organized my thoughts in a new and helpful way, slight orthostatic hypotension and drowsiness is easing - overall, this has been a saviour re paranoia and hallucinations etc.  AND I am more motivated to do things; continuing with Pristiq at 200mgs and paliperidone 9mg good."


"I have been on narcotics and different types of muscle relaxers for over two years now for chronic back pain. I just started taking Soma as a last resort and wow am I glad I decided to give it a shot. To date I have more relief from the Soma then from the previous narcotics that I was taking. Its amazing and I am thankful."


"I have taken this medication daily for a few years. Right now I take 1mg daily. It doesn't give me that drugged up feeling, and at the same time seems to help improve my mood. Sometimes I take an extra one when I have severe PMS or increased anxiety - and it works great. It's a subtle calmness that slowly starts when I take it and lasts for a long time. I would suggest this medication to anyone with anxiety or mood disorder."


"I am 55 years old and was diagnosed with ADD only last year.  I changed from Adderall XR to Vyvanse and after 3 weeks, I am having anxiety and total lack of focus.  It seems to make me more agitated and more easily distracted.  There is definitely not a "focus" benefit for me on this drug."


"For the past 2 years I have suffered terribly with incontinence. A month ago I decided to go to the doctor and she prescribed Vagifem. It was an instantaneous result. I can even jog now without any leaking. It has changed my life. The only negative thing I find is that I gained 2kg or it can be water retention. But not having incontinence outweighs the water retention/weight gain."


"Chose the Mirena after heavy menstrual bleeding from Paragard. I loved my Paragard and mainly had it removed because it was ten years old. A couple days after insertion of mirena panic attacks began, also dizziness, nausea, loss of appetite. I had sharp, stabbing pains in my pelvic/abdomen, head, and chest. Upon removal symptoms resolved. Insertion was easy with cervical softening meds. Mild cramping and some spotting after. Wish it hadn't made me feel so sick!"


"After a recent medical diagnosis, I had a difficult time coping and felt a tremendous sense of fear and worry constantly. Brought me to the point I was physically ill everyday and having panic attacks frequently. Xanax is wonderful when you find the right dose. Too much and I became a zombie. 0.25 MG was my perfect dose. It brought me down from panic and allowed me to take a step back and deal with my problems rationally."


"Good stuff, I have been on boats when is is very rough with people sick all around me but no bother to me at all. The only draw back is dry mouth"


"Beginning month 2 of Zohydro. Cannot believe the negative press! It is a long overdue blessing to chronic pain sufferers. I have multiple back issues and surgeries. The Norco 4x a day was causing about as much issue with my stomach and intestines as helping with pain. Finally asked, is there an option? Pain clinic Dr said good results with Zohydro! As we are adjusting the dosage, I take 5 mg of norco for breakthrough pain, but consider that temporary. Me, my back AND stomach are much better and much more level pain relief.  Thanks again!!!"


"ER gave me 25mg diphenhydramine IV for nausea.  The only effect was delirium and a brief medication nap.  I felt woozy and poisoned for at least two hours afterwards.  It may work for others, but it certainly didn't help me."


"First month I didn’t get my period second month there has been NON STOP bleeding. I can't stand it and on top of that the headache are almost unbearable. I am constantly tired and don't have any energy! Looking to get it removed soon.!"


"Works well with minimal side effects for the most part however I had to switch pharmacies and manufacturer of Losartan to eliminate the back cramps which are the most common side effect. BP stays at 115/70 now on 25mg. On lowest dosage as diet change had a huge impact."


"Amerge (naratriptan) is the only medicine that has worked for me. I have suffered from migraines for 27 years. "


"Makes me feel unwell, put on this after wisdom tooth extraction, feel sleepy and giddy all the time, not right at all. Also feel faint and can't think right either. Just feel like crap along with painful jaw from extraction. Told to take double dose for a week to stop dry socket from becoming infected."


"This is the nastiest looking and tasting medicine I have ever taken.  With that said, the medicine works the best for a cough.  I kept myself and my husband awake at night coughing.  I took this medicine (only at night) and it worked like a charm.  This is the best medicine for a cough (I don't waste my money on Robitussin or Mucinex) and is my go-to medicine whenever I get a pesky cough."


"BEYAZ is my WORST ENEMY! I took this BC pill for 1 1/2 months. Completed week 1 and the mood swings started. Week 3 I started bleeding light with minor cramps. Week 4 my light bleeding turned into heavy bleeding changing my pad every hour or less. The cramps were no longer minor they were just unbearable that I had to take Norco and Ibuprofen at the same time just to take the edge off. I spoke to my GYN about the symptoms and I was advise to give it another try even after I was in the ER injected with Dilaudid. Started 2nd pack as the bleeding and cramping still continues. Put on Vicodin and Naproxen for pain. I became depressed, angry, isolated, emotionally unattached and extremely tired I quit taking it mid way and now I'm in recovery."


"I have suffered with migraine for over 30 years and am now on a prevention medication morning and evening called Topamax. It really seems to help but when a migraine strikes, which they still do, I find Zomig nasal sprays a total fantastic find. Nothing has ever worked so fast or as well."


"1 shot, due another in August and wondering.  Constipation very severe, fatigue, hip pain, upper arm pain  and shooting pains in head.  I do not know if there are other options available and scared to take second shot in case things get worse."


"I started Zoloft two days ago. Literally after an hour of taking half of a 100mg tablet I could feel the effects. Everything just felt crisp and bright and I felt alive for the first time in years. I was worried my emotions would be just the same the whole time but I saw a very sad movie this morning and was able to cry, just like I normally would.

i had mild teeth grinding at night and awoke in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep for a few hours but other than that i'd recomend zoloft to anyone."


"I have several very rare incurable conditions that cause severe pain 24/7. I have permanent nerve damage, bone and spine pain and the list goes on.

Unfortunately, I have to be on pain meds daily in order to have some quality of life. I have been taking Norco at adjusted levels for over 4yrs now. I wish I didn't have to take anything, but it's an unfortunate reality. That being said, I take the same medication from a different manufacturer every month, and my pharmacy tries to accommodate me because for some reason I get extremely ill when I have to take the medication from your company. I have ended up in the hospital once and once again my pharmacy was out of my normal meds and I am stuck with yours. They barely work and I'm so sick!!!!"


"NEVER have I used a medication for my cold sores that has been so effective.  I've tried everything!  Denivar is amazing.  I have struggled with cold sores since I was about 12 years old, getting about two or three per year. My doctor prescribed Denivar last month when I first felt the "tingle", and it stopped the blister before it ever developed.  I have found a miracle!!!!"


"I was prescribed Cymbalta over a year ago, after a crippling anxiety attack and I will have to say, it's helped me quite a bit. I was skeptical on taking it, because I had no positive outcomes with Wellbutrin or Zoloft, but this drug helped me with amazing results. The only thing I've found (probably like with any other drug of this type) is that you NEED to take it on a scheduled basis. I have forgotten to take it or not been able to take it until 6 to 8 hours past my regular time and have to spend a few days readjusting to it. The only reason I gave Cymbalta a 9 instead of ten is for that reason and that weaning off this medicine may prove to be difficult."


"I take 200 mg (the maximum recommended dosage) of Zoloft to help with my depression. It hasn't helped very much, however. I still get very depressed sometimes, and it hasn't made much of a difference with my anxiety either. I take it in conjunction with Risperidone. For some reason my psychiatrist seems to think the thing to do is to keep increasing the medication, even though I feel no noticeable difference."


"I have been taking antidepressants for years;  prozac, celexa,cymbalta, and now pristiq.  I have always had problems stopping taking antidepressants and needed to go back on the medication after a while.  I even stopped taking pristiq and found it necessary to go back on the drug after stopping.  This last time I started taking pristiq I felt much better after some weeks and everything was back to normal.  Then I began to notice more depression symptoms like brain fog, general lack of motivation, tiredness, major forgetfulness.  I went out of town and even forgot to take the pills with me.  This is where things took a strange turn.  I felt better the next day!  Every day that went by I felt better.  I forgot what felt like to fell this good"


"I have had the Nexplanon implant for 11 months now and it's never let me down! I'm in love with it! I used to get horrible period cramps, back pain, and headaches ever menstrual cycle and this birth control has taken it all away. I have only gotten my period once throughout this whole year and it was very very light with no cramps. The key to this birth control working is making sure you have an experienced and truely trust worthy doctor. Remember, this implant affects every body different! Some of these reviews say they hated it because it was painful, moved, or left pain even after it healed and those all seem to me as Doctor errors. If you're considering getting this amazing birth control make sure your doctor knows what they're doing!"


"I took naltrexone for about 5 months and am now sober 2 years.  It is truly a miracle drug, "for me". You have to want to quit!"


"Been on fentanyl patches for 3+ years now. Wear 2 50mcg  patches.  Recently started on Opana er 20mg twice a day and only wearing 1 patch changed every 48 hours. Pain level has gone up slightly but also side effects from the patch have decreased which to me for now is a acceptable trade off. Breakthrough pain occurs sooner, but have not tried the higher dosage yet. Have somewhat raised expectations to come off patches by end of the year."


"This medicine is the only one that I have used that actually keeps my endometriosis from coming back. I have tried many birth controls and this one works for me."


"I started experiencing a lil discomfort I use monistat 1 put it in at night went to bed woke up next morning with a lil tingle and mild burning feel by 7 the burning was gone I could feel it had finally melted and begin to work . Would use again"


"I'm only on my second day of this medication but I feel it is never going to work. I still have mild symptoms and a headache. I'll be heading back to the ER if I don't feel better."


"I love Adderall.  I'm 38 years old and a very accomplished and successful person.  I started taking Adderall this year and it has done wonders for my productivity.  It makes me sad that I hadn't discovered it earlier in my life.  To think what I could have accomplished.  Like a lot of people I start 10 things and finish none.  Adderall helps me stay on task.  It's like responsibility in a pill."


"I am a very small person 5 feet tall and I have never had a baby: It was PAINFUL folks. It may have just been worse for me because of my size and the fact that my uterus was definitely not prepared for something like that. I could barely even walk afterwards and had piercing pain all the way home.. So I laid down for a couple hours and went to work. Every since then I have random, crippling spurts of pain daily.. But they only last a few minutes. And I have also been feeling a lot of pressure where my ovaries are. My sex drive increased, and I have been having an abnormal amount of vaginal discharge. I have been checking my strings daily because I feel like the pain I have isn't normal, and I'm afraid that I have perforated."


"I used this pill years ago when I was early 20's.  Had NO side effects.  I'm nervous about taking it now because I had some side effects I had with my old  BC of 3 years ago. I had severe nausea. I'm too nervous to take this pill. But I know the longer I wait more my chances are of being pregnant. My Husband and I don't want anymore kids. I'll suck it up and take it."


"Was using Pulmicort for years for asthma maintenance; I found it made a difference but would stop working for periods of time.  I asked my physician to switch me to something else and she put me on this.  A marked difference.  This has a steroid as well as a stimulant (to open your lungs upon inhalation, much like a rescue inhaler, which Pulmicort did not have).  I forgot to refill my Advair this month (I mail order three months at a time with my insurance, WAY cheaper) and have been without for about 4 days.  I can definitely tell the difference.  My rescue inhaler use has gone up, and subsequently goes way down (to almost nonexistent) when I'm on Advair.  Highly recommended."


"I took Vesicare for interstitial cystitis and it was life changing! I'd go to the bathroom about every 7 to 10 minutes for a period of about 5 hours during the day and 3 to 4 times at night and pretty much incontinent. I was miserable. Only side effects I had was dry mouth and constipation. But me only going to the bathroom every few hours, less pain, and not waking up at night was worth it to me. I Lost my insurance that paid for it and had to be off of it for a year and just now got assistance for it through my dr office pharmacy and I couldn't be more happy to get back on it and start feeling better!"


"I got Mirena put in about two months ago. Insertion sort of hurt, not terribly, but it did hurt.  But, it only takes a few minutes so it wasn't a big deal. The first two or three weeks were very "crampy" for me. They say this happens more with women who have not ever had children (that's me).  But, the crampy feeling went away.  Now, I don't feel a thing and it's all good.  I've only had it in a short time and have had two periods extremely light, like I need about four-five tampons for the whole period and even a liner would probably be sufficient. I have lost a couple of pounds since having the Mirena, not sure if there is a correlation or not.  The only downside is I have noticed an increase in pimples."


"Celebrex has been really great for my arthritis and

Ankylosing Spondylitis.  I can actually function almost

normally with about half the prescribed dosage (which

is normally 2 per day).  The one pill will take care of the

pain for about 36-40 hrs."


"I have been on microgestin for almost two weeks now. I am a pretty active individual almost everyday so the weight gain hasn't been too much of an issue for me. It has increased my appetite a little, and have made my breasts pretty tender. Other than that, I have no complaints about this pill. I have been on other birth controls before, but this one isn't as bad as everyone says it is... if you have preexisting conditions of diabetes, heart problems, high bp, of course those symptoms might increase on a birth control medication, but as long as you are staying active, maintaining a fairly balanced diet, and drinking plenty of water, please don't fear this birth control."


"I have not stopped spotting since taking the pill, it has been about three weeks on and it's extremely inconvenient. Pain still the same. No period but constant spotting."


"I was a smoker for 42 years and never wanted to quit, however I knew I had to. I started  Chantix in April and had my last cigarette May 1st. I did have some side effects but I worked through them and my personality did change for a while but I am happy to say it all worked out and I am so happy it did. As long as you know what the effects are and you have support you should be fine."


"mirena placed at 7 week postpartum check up.  six weeks later at mirena placement confirmation check up, strings not to be found and by ultrasound found mirena to be to low in uterus to be working effectively and an ovarian cyst noted (which I never had any problems with cysts before). Overall I like the mirena, minimal side effects. I think though that the mirena should not be placed until later in the postpartum period (past 10 weeks or so) to allow the uterus to go back to "normal" size."


"Could not hold water down and had heaves all the way to the ER. They gave me a different medicine first and it did nothing, so they gave me Zofran and in a few minutes I was sitting up wanting food."


"After a fall and suffering a slow decline into osteoarthritis of the right hip, I had been managing pain with Vicodin for the last two years before I went for total joint replacement. Maybe I had built up a tolerance because after surgery, my pain was mind-boggling until it vanished "just like that". I asked the nurse what she just gave me and she said she tried a little Demerol via I.V. Amazing stuff when morphine didn't do it for me!!"


"I have had edema before in primarily my left leg, however, it usually goes away on it own.  After some yard work in the heat, I was quite swollen in especially the left leg and as the leg went down, a heaviness settled in my chest and I could barely breath. I was taken to the ER after I started fearing a heart condition and was found to have heart failure with a normal functioning heart.  I was given furosemide by vein in ER and was admitted.  I was sent home after testing with a script for two 40mg twice a day and feel much better.  I still feel really tired after very little exertion and have had some cramps in my feet. Overall, I feel much, I hope that after losing some weight, I will be back to normal very soon. This is a wake up call."


"I just want to tell everyone with the implant that if your bleeding for more than a week take ibuprofen 3 times a day for 3 days. If it doesn't stop the bleeding then go to the doctor!! Your periods are only suppose to last 1 week if more it needs removed!"


"Xenical made look skinnier than ever. I also controlled my calorie intake while i was taking them. I went from 140 to 125. i was 125lbs when i was 15 yrs old, now I am 32. the issue with the bothrooms trips is true and kind of uncomfortable but but you will learn to deal with situation."


"I have been on Latuda for about 3 years! I was struggling so much with other meds, I was either too tired, wired or depressed! Once I started taking Latuda I was feeling like a new person. I wasn't nervous or scared anymore it saved my life."


"I have been using spirolactone for the past week and I am having crazy side effects such as dizziness, headaches, peeing too much and tummy upset. Wondering whether to still go on using it but I at least don't have any pimples popping up."


"Absolutely hate it! I've had it for over 2 years and have bled nearly the whole time it's been it.. No wonder it's like 99.99% effective you're on your period nearly 90% of the time! I plan to get it out soon once I build up the courage to. Zero sex drive and insane mood swings since having it in as well."


"Very quickly made everything in my head a lot quieter stopped hallucinations and had only minor side effects. I have been self medicating with recreational drugs for over 25 years pristiq is a massive serotonin booster stopped taking other drugs and have not missed them, also find I am now a less of a danger to other people as now they don't annoy me as much."


"I am 34 male. Diagnosed with osteoporosis. I had a 900  steel beam fall on me in 2001. I have had many stomach surgeries and also have an ileostomy and lost my left kidney. Been taking 300 mg of morphine for pain last ten years. I have been in deep severe depression for years. I have been on 100ml every 2 weeks of testosterone for a month and it has changed my life. My level was 325. I have interest in life now mentally feel really good. After 7-8 days I start to feel tired and not so good but, after my shot I feel great! Going to talk with the doctor to maybe every 7 to 10 days! Thanks for reading."


"I always considered eating certain foods was enough to combat constipation but have found that as I aged this was not sufficient. I decided to start using Metamucil and found this to be easy to take, tasteless and the condition has vastly improved."


"I have 2 degenerative discs and this is the only medicine that lets me have a quality of life and productivity that I would not otherwise have. I take 3 x 40mg extended release a day with 30mg immediate release for breakthrough pain as needed. I have no side effects at all, and when I ran out once for 2 days, the pain was bad, but no other withdrawal symptoms, no vomiting, etc. Without this medicine I would be severely restricted in my movements and basically not able to function without pain. It is a shame that most people have a prejudice about this medicine a, but for those of us with chronic serious pain who use it as prescribed; it truly is a lifesaver! "


"Wellbrutrin at 150mg twice a day for is great.  Some only need that same dosage in mgs once a day.  In response to the medicine I have no racey thoughts.  No depresssion, no side efffects as to sleepyines, zombified spells or attacks, no anxiety, no boredom, no crying and or laughing spells.  THIS MED at 150mg is a blessing from God."


"I'm 21 years old, and have been on Vyvanse for 5 months (40mg). Compared to other medications its more evenly released throughout the day and seems to last around 8 or 9 hours. I would definitely suggest giving it a month before you completely ban it, because it did take getting use to (like any medication). It can effect your sleep depending on the time of day you take your medication. It hasn't decreased my appetite, but in the beginning I would forget to eat- as long as you get on a routine eating schedule though you should be fine. It made me slightly irritable in the beginning, but like I said give it some time and it seems to even out."


"Used for accessed root canal.
Was on Amoxicillin first and that didn't work so I tried Clindamycin. By the second day, may pain was gone BUT it gave me stomach pains. Hurts to swallow as I feel like I have razor blades in my stomach.
I'd rather be in this pain than tooth pain!"


"very good"


"Before I was taking Pyrilin 6Kmg/day and Feldine 20mg and I had constant pain, some days were better than others but I always had something.
Since being on Humira I am running again, I ran 8 miles the other day in a bit over an hour and I felt great after, tired but no joint pain, the next day I felt great as well, I have lost 6 pounds and I am active again. I have not been sick yet, but this is a worry still. I wish I had this 10 years ago!"


"I've been on yaz for about 8 years. Used to love it. Only use it to control my period and symptoms from PCOS. I'm 38 with no kids (don't want any...crazy busy correctional nurse!) And a part time smoker. I've had quite a bit of spotting especially after intercourse which is actually active bleeding. My mood is quite crazy too lately. My gyno wants me to try this IUD but I refuse. I'm scared to go off this pill now. Anyone with these issues? I'm tempting to get a hysterectomy or partial....suggestions?"


"My 5 yr old started taking Vyvanse today and had a bad reaction to it while at school, severe itching with a twitch of his shoulder.  There was no outside signs of breakout.  Tried to contact doctor who prescribed and have received no reply, therefore after talking to pharmacist and school nurse, and health unit care provider, I have decided to stop Vyvanse, 30mg daily, until I receive some reply from his doctor. Then I am going to ask for something else.  If it works fine for your children, God bless, but please keep an eye on them for the first 24 hours; allergic reactions do occur, we were just lucky it was not more severe."


"I've had mine since March 2016. The worst part was the itchiness it itched so terribly when I first got it i would scratch at night and now have a scar. I do like it though I haven't noticed any major mood swings and I've actually lost weight not gained however there is spotting every once in a while but so much better then periods"


"Have never had a problem, feel great and love it!"


" i have fibro, chronic pain around neck ,relieved pain very fast.. side effects still here- into 2nd week. rapid heart rate, feels like can't catch my breath, sweats, coughing, bouncing off the walls.."


"Excellent"


"I have had constant back pain and hip pain from an accident two years ago. The pain was treated with a variety of narcotic pain medication ranging from Vicodin to Roxycontin. Eventually developing a dependency I managed to overcome. But not being able to take narcotics anymore, I turned to Ryzolt and the results have been nothing short of miraculous. The pain is alomost completely gone. I highly recommend it for people who have had problems with narcotic pain medication."


"I  have been using Drysol for about 10 years. The whole story is ladies do not shave or use if you have any cuts. Also do not use the plastic, roll it on or put it on very lightly and a small amount (I use a tee shirt with short sleeves that is slightly tight under the arm). I used it for the first 3 days and since then I use it about twice a month in the winter and once a week in the summer. I live in Florida..it works. I was a wet bucket before."


"Mixed feelings - I found the taste not too bad at all and was surprised that I found it easier to drink than I expected. I took it about 100ml at a time and just gulped it down.

Started working after 1.5 hours and did its job EXCEPT as last time (I've done this before) I'm still making regular visits to the toilet and have fingers crossed it will stop before I need to leave for the hospital in a couple of hours."


"I started taken phentermine 37.5 on 3/5/14 and my weight was 241 lbs and on 3/10/14 I had lost 5 lbs down to 236lbs.  This week I plan to increase my exercise and hope to lose 5 more pounds by next week. I have not experienced any problems sleeping but the dry mouth is all day but it has made me drink more water than I usually do.  My goal is 170lbs hopefully by May."


"The fact of not having to worry about getting a shot every 3 months or take a pill every day is nice but that's the only positive thing I have to say about this. I've weighed 120-125 pounds for years  and my metabolism has always been decent. I gained 30 pounds while this thing has been in my arm and it has really made me feel awful about myself. Not wanting to be intimate with my boyfriend because I was digusted with myself. My lifestyle didn't change, the only thing that could have caused the weight gain was the implant. I even tried dieting but even that didn't help. Now, only 6 months away from getting this horrible thing out of my arm am I finally getting back down to my normal size. I will never get this form of birth control again."


"Works amazing! I have horrible anxiety and panic attacks which causes me to have insomnia as well. Tried just about everything for sleep. Works better than some benzos to for sleep! I know a lot about benzos. Been prescribed Ativan and Valium and this medication puts me to sleep better than those! Note this medication works similar to benzos. 5mg will work great to. You will sleep fine and wake up feeling great and functioning normal as can be. Overall great sleep medicine."


"I lived with severe mood swings and major depression since I was 7 years old and I started taking Seroquel at 27. It changed my life for the better. It was as if someone had turned on the lights. I was able to identify negative and delusional thoughts and I developed massive insights into my mental health. I've gained 40kg in 7 years though and I'm now trialling alterntives. I had a severe allergic reaction to Saphris, but it did everything that Seroquel did and more. I'm now looking into Zeldox or Latuda."


"What can I say? This works. I had constant anxiety mixed with bouts of depression after a lot of trauma, constant palpitations and massive digestive problems from stress that had built up over years. The palpitations are now gone (after 15 years!) & I've reduced my stomach meds by 75% - all this in two months. I'm able to rationalise my thoughts. People keep commenting on how 'laid back' and 'reasonable' I am. I feel like me for the first time in years. I'm on a low dose (combining with therapy - the idea for me is to take the edge off of the emotional pain, not numb it completely so I can work through it).  Anyway, my point is that even on a low dose, it's effective. Side effects were annoying so that is why it gets 9/10 :)"


"Thank goodness for Mucinex D!  One week ago, I woke up with severe nasal congestion and difficulty breathing which made getting any decent sleep impossible... I tried the other medications with minimal relief, so I decided to take a 600mg prescribed dose of Mucinex D (one pill) and was extremely pleased with how quickly it worked...  I drank 16oz of water then fell asleep with the ability to breathe easier...  Because my nasal problems have been recurring as soon as the medication wears off, I have resorted to taking a pill to get me through the day and again at night ever since...  The taste is unpleasant, but not enough to avoid taking it, because so far, it is the only medication that provides optimum relief with clear nasal passages!"


"I've had sinusitis for over 12 months which resulted in nasal polyps. Due to have polyp removal operation this year (2017) but due to the effectiveness of Dymista I am hoping that it will shrink the polyps enough that I won't need to have the surgery. I've tried every nose spray and also steroid drops in the past with no effective results. 4 days into the treatment using 2 sprays twice a day and I am already seeing drastic improvements it does cause me to have severe sneezing fits for a few minutes after using it but that's nothing compared to what I've been going through over the past 12 months. Yes occasional bad taste but I don't see what people moan about this. What's worse, a bad taste for a few minutes or relief from your symptoms."


"This product has changed my life.  I can now live my life day to day without anxiety about what others think.  I am still the my wonderful self but without the worry and self-doubt that plagued my every thought.  I am on 100mg daily and have been for nearly 1 year."


"I have been on this pill going on 3 months now so far I have only seen an increase in acne and weight by a slim margin. I have never really had bad PMS on this pill or Yaz, which I took previously. I like the fact that my period is really light compared to extremely heavy as its been since I was 12. Its a great change and for now its working for me. I have poly cystic ovaries and have felt no symptoms from that ever since the switch so far I have not gone without a period which I like because it doesn't make me wonder if I am pregnant. I was on Yaz for about 2 and a 1/2 years and I loved it."


"I have been on percocet for many years and it greatly helps my Chronic pain. Without it I wouldn't be able to walk! Only problems I have is constipation"


"Chronic uveitis/iritis. Several drops and pills and injections later, the one thing that shows marked decrease between flares for me is this stupid kenalog injection. I would rather do anything that get injections in my eye! They're miserable for a few days afterwards. Not great for active mom of toddler. Want to burry my head in silence, darkness for three days. HOWEVER, I have basically been in a two year long flare, this injection has given me quieter days with my fickle illness. Saved my sight. Lasts about 3 months during rough goes and 8 months during good times. So they say."


"Sotalol 80mg x2 stopped my atrial fibrillation (AF), but left my heart rate in the 40's and I had less stamina than when I was in AF.  My EP decided on adding a pacemaker to keep my pulse at 60 or higher and I feel like I am 20 years younger.  I am very active and my AF has not returned.  The pacemaker records everything that happens to my heart and is read remotely by the EP every couple of months or so.  There has been no incidents of AF, and very few PAC's or PVC's.  Sotalol with a pacemaker has been a wonderful solution to my AF, and I would suggest people who are struggling with sotalol ask their doctor about a pacemaker to increase their pulse rate."


"I was quite surprised to find myself having a heart attack at 49!  Not being smart enough to ask for help, I drove myself to the hospital.  Don't worry, everybody has already yelled at me enough for that stunt.  Bottom line, I left the hospital with a brand new stent and a renewed interest in healthy living.  I am taking the 10mg dose in the morning followed by an aspirin at night. It's been a full nine months now and I may have missed at most two doses Effient.  Aside from bleeding far more than I used to, I have noticed zero side effects.  Still do the Scoutmaster thing, still play softball with the Church team, still go hiking with my bride.  Truthfully, the only side effect that bugs me is little cuts bleed."


"So I’ve been on the medication for 4 days and have already lost 7 lbs. I’m 29, and started out at 227lb, and am now down to 200lb. Too be fair, I have an amazing doctor. She prescribed this to me, only if I changed my diet. I cut out most carbs and sugar. Plus an hour of exercise. This isn’t a magic pill that’s going to make you lose a lot of weight by just taking it and not change your lifestyle. The only side effect I had was nausea and tiredness. But again I have completely changed my diet, so that could contribute to that as well."


"My dermatologist recommended this product. As a teenager I was diagnosed with Eczema/Atopic Dermatitis. I would have experienced breakouts  of it , I no longer experience breakouts, however I remained with dark spots all over my body, main problem area-my legs. I am now 30 years old. My now dermatologist rediagnosed me with Lichen Planus and indicated that it would take approximately 3 series of treatments to experience results, used the product faithfully for a little over 6 -8 weeks and I see zero improvement thus far, I am to return to the DR. for a review & prescription."


"After a fall on the ice, I got a bad concussion. Dr gave me Voltaren 75mg twice daily to calm things down, pain and to relax, works great! No upset stomach (which was concern to me) no side effects, medicine stays with you works, long time, better then over the counter meds."


"My Asthma came back when I was around 45 years old.  My doctors couldn't find any medication that would help. It was so bad I couldn't go outside or open a door in the house.  I spent several hours taking breathing treatments each day.  Then I was given a prescription for Uniphyl.  Everything changed for me when I started taking it.  It is a miracle drug."


"I have been taking this medication for two months now. Overall it has been good and does what it needs to do, I have had nearly NO bad side effects: no weight gain, no headaches/nausea, no mood changes, spotted only once, lighter 'period,' etc. Slight improvement in acne that wasn't bad to begin with, no change in breast size. The glaring exception to this is a drop in sex drive that was low to begin with, which kind of negates why I chose this form of birth control in the first place."


"Need the right DR."


"I was really bad on pretty much any pain medication I could find. I quickly had a tolerance so high I was running through 25 tens a day! I must say that subutex saved my life!! How ever even after being slowly weaned down off the drug I still had trouble getting totally back to normal. You won't detox like as bad as tens. The symptoms are very similar. The doctor gave me clonidine. I have to say it helped with most symptoms. Except restlessness/sleep and pretty intense lower back pain. For the back pain a heating pad for home and thermacare back wraps for work. It was more than do able. After 15 years battling this crap it's finally over just in time for my first child. Had to change my old friends but it's worth it. Keep your heads up."


"I've been on Lutera for 2 weeks now and I hate it. I'm a 20 year old college student 5'3 120 Lbs. after taking Lutera I now weigh 125 (already). I'm constantly crying at everything, for no reason and I never cried before. For example I tried to cross the road to get to class and I saw a car coming so I cried. I was sitting in class and got hungry and had to forceful hold tears back... Not normal. I also lash out very often at nothing I should be mad about. It's also making me break out SO MUCH!! Like huge cystic pimples that no one wants to see.  I keep going back and fourth about whether or not I should get off cause well I don't want to get pregnant, but I also don't want to be fat, moody, and pimply."


"I have been diagnosed with Bipolar 1 Severe Mania episodes for many years and PTSD.  I am on Lamictal, 200mg, Topamax 100mg, and Abilify 30mg.  This is a wonderful combination and the first time in my life that a combination works with little to no side effects.  I have a significant immediate family history of suicide and although the thoughts are always there I don't act on them and can ignore them with the help of this medication combo and my severe manic episodes are from 8 to 9 severe episodes a year down to 3 to 4 which for me is almost "normal". With a little more tweaking of this combination I may be able to get it down a little lower than that, we are working on it.  I've been on this combination and changing the dosing for about 2 years now."


"I was first given this drug when I was only 6,  I started having horrible crashes When I was 7 I started getting hallucinations of my toys coming to life and beating me to death and I'd scream and kick when my parents came in to try to calm me down. I have 30min-4 hour anxiety attacks, I feel sad empty and useless, I felt like everyone was judging me and I almost committed suicide twice, once when I was only 9. I tried stopping the drug but found the nausea, pain, and anxiety only got worse without the medication so now I'm stuck,. These people saying the drug is great have not been on it for long, please if you are thinking of getting this drug, don't."


"So after some horrendous blows from life (car accident where my hubs was driving, me in passenger seat, mom behind me...T-Boned and she was killed instantly, I had months of physical therapy, miscarriages, Dad had a massive stroke....just bad thing upon bad thing) I realized that these outside circumstances where absolutely stealing my life away. Now, even previous to these trials and tribulations, I've always been a fairly anxious person. I learned to cope with my "issues" through prayer, yoga, books....things of that nature but this last blow of the accident sent some place else. I finally realized I needed help. I'm only on day 2. I feel better but drowsy. I'm hoping this will at least stabilize me once again. (fingers crossed)"


"I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 seven years ago in College. I refused treatment, and my relationship with my husband started to deteriorate. I started Lamictal a year ago and have totally returned to my old self. I am happy, calm, rational and I found the motivation to lose fifty pounds. The only down fall is I kind of miss the ability to process information at a very rapid rate, but I gladly trade it for a great relationship with my husband and child."


"Honestly, this is one of the worst birth control pills I've ever taken. I've been on my period for 14  days because of this pill. I'm constantly hungry, emotional, and will get irritated at the littlest things. I hate it, calling my doctor tomorrow to get a new prescription."


"I have had back problems for a very long time, female trouble (hysterectomy @ 31 yrs old) and fibromyalgia.   Also have severe arthritis (runs in our family I believe)   As 4 rating this medicine, it helped  tons with the pain but the downside (very bad downside) was after taking it for so long when you stop you get so very sick.  In my opinion, the sickness is worse than coming off of Percocet, Vicodin, etc. Don't know why that is but that's just what I expect for myself.   I know all about slowly cutting down your doses and all and I surely didn't expect it 2 be rainbows and sunshine, but in my experience it was worse than the DT's you get from the others I mentioned.   Aside from that, it did help with the pain a great deal."


"I am able to fall asleep and stay asleep and feel refreshed when I wake up now."


"I have been taking Loestrin 24Fe for 13 months now and I have no complaints. It is the first birth control that I have tried. After 3 months of taking the pill, it completely ended my period. I was a little nervous about it, but my doctor assured me that not having a period was normal (especially if you were light before) and that it would not effect my ability to have children later. Also, the pill took away all of my acne which is always a plus!"


"I have been taking Apriso since December 2010 and have had no flareups. My doctor told me it is fine for long term use and as of right now, September 2011, he has no plans to take me off it. The only side effect I have experienced is some muscle stiffness."


"I never knew untill reading this that you can use methocarbamol as an drug addiction helper. I started taken them 5 month ago I only take them once or twice a day if needed 750mg ones. I also take 80mg MST twice daily . But since taking methocarbamol I haven't needed my ora morph for break through pain relief.  I'm worried I can't take these for life though can't get an answer for that."


"At 19, I experienced my first anxiety attack an was having 5 /day. After visiting the E.R everytime they finally sent me to a psychologist who prescribed me medication, showed relaxation techniques and Bio-feedback. I only take medicines now at 34 (1mg 4 x day generic brand). I WISH I COULD AFFORD ATIVAN IT WORKS BETTER."


"Have MDNOS/possibly Bipolar. Went on Lamictal about 5 years ago which saved my life (awful, terrible mood swings). Was still fairly down so added Celexa after 1 year. This helped but after 2 years it lost efficacy. Switched to Lexapro 18 months ago to combat that and it worked for a while. But the side effects have gotten worse. After  6 months taking it my libido started decreasing and now it is literally gone. I get "high" when I take it then crash and feel like a zombie until I take it again. I have no motivation at work, can't stay focused, restless, can't just sit and be content, no emotion. Unless I'm depressed or pissed. It's not worth it. My new doctor is weaning me off it, thank god, here's hoping I come out okay on the other side."


"I had a really bad cold and viral bronchitis and I ended up with nasal cellulitis of all things (infection in my nose and on my face). I took this medication and on day three, it was clearing up nicely and by day 5 the infection is gone. I had virtually no side-effects other than sleepiness, but I think that's normal when you're fighting an infection. I took 500 mg x 4 times a day and I had no stomach or intestinal issues at all. It was great."


"Excellent drug for me.  It was used for my colonoscopy as an outpatient...

asleep immediately, woke up quickly with absolutely no side effects, no drowsiness, no sleepyhead.  Miracle drug as far as I'm concerned."


"I have been managing chronic pain for several years due to a failed lumbar fusion. About 4 months ago my doctor switched me from Norco to Belbuca. I like Belbuca's ability to control pain over 12 hours, although it is really closer to 10. It is also a huge benefit that it can be renewed via fax, versus having to go to the doctor's office to get a hard copy of the script. Now to the major downside, when I was upped to 300 mcg, I developed a severe night time itch. It's to the point where it is limiting me to less than 4 hours of sleep a night. Talk to your doctor about finding a separate pain med for night time, otherwise you run the risk of going utterly crazy from months of long term sleeplessness."


"Well I'm currently taking four 25mg nortriptyline a night for the past few months this is the only tablet that seems to keep my migraines at bay as I was diagnosed with classical migraines after my MRI scan if I miss one night I will get a migraine the day after every time I cannot miss a night taking them otherwise I pay for it the next day I can have up to 3 major migraines a day but this dosage and these tablets seem to be working for me ."


"Since starting Levora 3 months ago, I've had severe panic attacks, fatigue, nausea, and awful mood swings. Off it as of today. I suggest taking it, then re-evaluating how you feel after 90 days. I can honestly say, it's turned me into a raging lunatic with no control over my emotions. This has been my worst experience on birth control yet. The anxiety is overwhelming which causes hostility and depression. Please be careful, ladies!"


"Zoloft worked AWESOME for my extreme anxiety and major depression. It worked for many years but eventually (as all good things do), it stopped working as well and once my dosage couldn't go any higher, I had to start the whole process of finding the right medication and the right "cocktail" for me. Again, I'd like to reiterate that Zoloft SAVED MY LIFE for MANY YEARS and only had to stop talking bc after about 7-10 years I guess my body didn't continue to respond like it used to."


"Do your research before deciding to go with this birth control. I used Mirena a couple times before with no issues but wanted to try this since it did not require being clamped on my cervix. I have been on Nexplanon for 4 months and bled for over 3 months straight and had at least 2 periods the month after. I am so moody and going to make an appointment to have it removed. This is horrible."


"Worked great when added to lithium for mixed manic episode. No side effects but I got a rash and had to quit taking it.  The rash gradually disappeared, luckily."


"Ampyrya is amazing!  I've only been taking this for a week and a half and love it! After 4 days of taking it I noticed substantial improvement!  I am able to walk unassisted and stand for longer periods of time,  feel like I have more energy and am looking forward to doing more things with my kids! AFO is still needed, but I feel so much better!"


"I've had very severe constipation for years due to my daily need for oxycodone and morphine. I've tried everything with little relief so that's why I gave this a try. It was the worst day of my life! I took it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. About 30 mins after taking it I had a bowel movement...yeah right? About 2 mins after I started having SEVERE intestinal cramps! So bad I could hardly breathe! I also got severe chills and had goose bumps all over my body. I continued to have a bowel movement every 15-20 mins for the next 3 hours. The whole time having extremely painful cramping, nausea, sweats, chills, goosebumps... It cleaned me out that's for sure. But it was not worth the pain and it wiped me out the whole day!!"


"I took this medicine for 2 years, I didn't have any side effects with it. The first year my bones had improved over 25% and the second year there was no improvement. I was disappointed it hadn't improved more in the last year. But was very pleased it had helped overall."


"I'm taking this for general anxiety disorder and major depression disorde. 20 mg.  It's been a couple of months.  It works great nicer and happier and I have lost 17 pounds. I  have tried to get my medicine right the past year by trying everything. I was on  celexa ( was on a few years gained a lot of weight and stopped working), latuda, strattera, pristiq, vyvanse I'm allergic to. The only problem is Prozac doesn't mix well with concerta that I took a long time ago, it  used to work so well, now I tried it with Prozac and it's cry all day long.  So going back to dr soon need to find something else to mix in with my Prozac."


"I developed  a DVT in my thigh after hurting my back and being unable to get around for a few weeks, ended up in the hospital for 5 days on total bed rest. Shortly after a large DVT was found in my right thigh.  I was put on Xarelto for one year.  I have been on it now for 6 months and my leg and foot stays swollen, but does not hurt.  My hair fell out for the first two months and then stopped, I have had no other side effects.  I feel good with the exception of getting tired more easily."


"I've been on this birth control for over a year now and don't really have any complaints. When I first got it the incision site was sore for a few days but after that I was golden. My periods don't happen very often and when they do they are light. I would recommend."


"I think I would give up food before I would give up my Detrol. It has saved my social life. I was willing to pay $70 per month before I got better insurance."


"This medicine gave me the most horrifying, terrifying, side effects ever! I took it last summer and man the feeling is haunting! I was on a beach vacation and I took the medicine b4 heading back out to the pool, not knowing about the scary side effects. In 30 min, I became unusually sleepy and went back to the room and Man I couldn't sleep! My legs were SO restless it wasn't funny! I felt like I had to explode outta my damn body! My mum massaged me till I fell asleep. Terrible medicine "


"After the 1 month, I started to have headaches, I've always have cysts and as a consequence, acne. It got WORSE! Terrible! And I started to have hair everywhere! It's horrible! Dr said it was going to get better after the 3 months, it's been 6 and it's just worse everyday. I'm definitely changing."


"My life was sleep before I started adderall taking 15 mg twice a day and I'm still  tired but not sleeping like I was before. Only been taking it for a few days but has helped a lot. I only slept and worked and sadly that was my life for 5  years."


"Really bad medicine. My heart start burning and hurting specially at night. I don't recommend this medication."


"Taken( 2) 1mg, 3 times a day and (3)1 mg at bed time. No issues still helping after two plus years."


"It brought me out of a deep dark hole."


"I've been taking phentermine for 6 days and have lost 10 pounds already! I was 180 on Friday and now it's Wednesday night and I'm 170! I love this stuff! I don't crave any sweets and have so much energy! Also I've cut down to 20 carbs a day and haven't drank any cokes!"


"I was very uneasy always sad, lost how to be happy, jumpy at the slightest things and panic and from the second or third pill began to feel a difference. I felt like I could have fun again or really smile at least. It is like my brain needed a little help adjusting to difficult situations."


"I would like to say that I went to the E.R and they couldn't find out why I was having the chest pains also PE (pulmonary embolism) had been ruled out. Every time I took a breath it was so painful they were giving me morphine every hour the pain would not subside, so I went to my primary care physician and he diagnosed me with pleurisy which is a inflammation of the lining of your lungs so he prescribed Indocin for me and after one day I started getting serious relief."


"I am 36 years old. I have previously been on Loestrin 24 FE then Generess FE.  My physician switched me to Minastrin and I have gained weight, I am so lathargic and tired all of the time.  I am moody and overall unhappy which I have never had in my life.  I get cramps periodically and I get spotting at random times although very very light.  This is the most horrible pill I have ever been on. I will be getting off of it immediately."


"Took DM at bed time and will never do that again! Yes I felt better and felt some relief,however, the heart palpitations were out of this world! I was so jittery still 3 hours later,  that I literally couldn't sit still in my bed. Finally was able to sleep at 3 and woke up feeling super dehydrated and almost hungover, with puffy eyes and a bad headache. No Mas!"


"Have been on Abilify for two weeks and my personality has changed drastically. I went from being chilled out and quite okay on Seroquel and Effexor but wanted to try Abilify to combat weight gain. In the two weeks I've been on it I've swung from hypomanic to aggressive and downright selfish. I did things I wouldn't normally do that has hurt my relationship with my partner and I've also been spending like crazy. Probably should stop but will consult psychiatrist first to see what she says."


"Literally the worst birth control ever. I was on orsythia & my pharmacy said this was the "generic" version. My period was ALWAYS regular & my period came two weeks earlier this month. It also makes me break out & gained about 5 pounds. I have become very emotional & depressed & I was never like that now. I cry for everything. DO NOT RECOMMEND"
