"This stuff is seriously the best thing I've tried. I applied it within the first couple hours of noticing a cold sore bump start to grow and it never even developed into a full blown cold sore. It was completely gone in 3 days, and during those 3 days it wasnt even bad or noticeable. Absolutely worth the price. will repurchase when I run out."


"Was on Remicade until October 2012, after my last colonoscopy and the Dr. saw blockage and he felt it was no longer working even though I felt fine. He moved me to Cimzia which didn't work for me, did that until January when I was switched to Humira. Didn't think it was working but now 3 months later finally feeling like it's effective. Wish they could make a pill form. The injections aren't extremely painful but they don't feel good. Maybe it's different for people with body fat but I have close to none and wont inject anything in my legs."


"Epiduo saved my face. I've only been using it a few weeks and my skin has never looked better! Not harsh at all!! Especially compared to Retin-a. Can wear under make up and other products. It's a miracle in a bottle."


"This garbage pill turned me into a robot. I seriously had zero emotions and cared about nothing. I was only on it for a month but I'm still dealing with the acne it gave me all over my cheeks. I regret taking this pill so much. If you don't want extra body hair or deal with acne, choose a less androgenic pill. Otherwise, it didn't have any side effects besides body hair growth in places men usually have it, and acne all over the lower part of my face."


"I got Skyla inserted like 4 months ago and to be quite honest, my periods can go from like 10-12 days at a time with horrendous contraction-like cramps and also I get these cramps even when I'm not on my period it really sucks! I actually went to the Gyno yesterday to talk to her about having it removed and she seemed mad and just annoyed with my whole story about how much pain I'm in and just everything. It just really offended me to the point to where I was like never mind about having it removed, cause she just thought it was no big deal and that it takes a full 6 months to get used to... She also told me that it's not supposed to make you gain weight but you see I've tried to lose weight and I just can't for some reason but idk any help"


"Since 0 wasn't an option I had to select 1..This medication is a waste of time and money! I suffer from chronic pain syndrome, massive muscle contractions,  tumors in my spine, and severe overactive nerves which cause trigger points from my neck to my lower back. I am so beyond miserable because the pain is excruciating!  I was taking 10/325 of Percocet but my pain management doctor wanted to take me completely off of it due to risk of addiction so she switched me to Belbuca a month ago and I have no relief! It does not work! I cry and lay around all day because it hurts to move! I was started on 300mcg then 2 weeks later I was bumped up to 600mcg. I have not felt any pain relief yet. I do NOT recommend this to anyone!"


"Have had back problems for 25  years, my doctor has me on 30 mg 2X a day. My doctor is so scared of the DEA that it took a lot to get this. I really need 3 a day but he wont hear of it. I wish he would give me this and maybe something else for the break through pain but he will not do it. Just glad I get this much."


"I have been taking Elmiron (400 mg) since August after being diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis. If I "cheat" on the IC diet, I still have mild to moderate flare-ups, but I am now pain-free most of the time, and able to have a fairly normal sex life. I have not lost any hair, and have found that the digestive side-effects are mild."


"After being  recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism, I began to take Belviq. After about two weeks I started seeing results. I have now been on the medication for four months and have lost 40 pounds.  The only side Effect I have experienced is dry mouth."


"I have been on this pill for about a month. So far I have experienced some side effects such as mild nausea the first few days I was on it but not enough to bother me. I have had light headaches on and off, and also a change in my appetite. But my appetite actually is decreasing.. While I feel hungry more often, the amount of food that it takes to make me feel full is significantly less. I feel like I am losing weight on this pill. I am hoping that the side effects go away soon. My physician said that every birth control pill will make you feel the way I do for 2-3 months until your hormone levels level out and get used to the new pill which makes total sense. So I am not worried yet and think that this pill will work just fine for me"


"I’m 48, never had children but have uterine fibroids which were removed and very quickly returned. Because of the heavy bleeding new doctor recommended Mirena to hopefully reduce the heavy bleeding. Thought this was a great idea! No more ultra tampons and overnight pads as a back up. No such luck. Got Mirena inserted 6/14/17 and have been bleeding ever since. Thought this could not be real. Doctor sent me for ultrasound to be sure Mirena was still in my uterus...yep it’s there so I’ll have to put up with the bleeding. It is UNREAL. I’ve bleed for 5 months with maybe 2 weeks of no bleeding. This is awful, bleeding every day...day after day. The number of pads and tampons are becoming expensive. I’m seriously at my wits end."


"I was taking 4mg of Xanax almost daily for about a year. I tried to quit cold turkey by being off of them for about 4 days straight and when day 5 hit me I thought I was going to die. I couldn't sleep for the 4 days I didn't have it, constant pacing around the house, twitches like crazy and had to get some ASAP as I was out. It has been over a month now and I am slowly coming off of the Xanax. I am down to about 1mg every 2 days or so and I haven't had any additional medications. It can be done but you have to prepare yourself for it mentally and tell yourself you CAN do it. I have quit in the past and regret ever picking up the bottle again. "


"I have GAD with mild depression which caused a lot of tension in my shoulders and confused, muddled thinking with poor memory. I tend to be really irritable and short tempered with mood swings. I've so far taken Cymbalta for about 4-5 months. My mood swings, irritability and temper have improved. I am able to think much more clearly and remember better. The bad, my social anxiety hasn't improved much and I gained about 5 pounds. Otherwise no side effects. It doesn't make me sleepy, spacey, numb, nor does it diminish my libido. It isn't a wonder drug but it's nice to have fewer side effects."


"I'm a 20 yr old female with anxiety, panic disorder, and attention deficit. This was my first day of Pristiq, but I noticed a huge change today already! I took a 50mg in the morning before work and had no problem dealing with customers or talking to strangers in general. I had a few short moments where I felt nervous, but I was surprised to find I was very relaxed all day. I really had no idea I was so anxious all the time! I would definitely recommend this!"


"It's a scam and a total waste of money, all cold sores will start healing itself in 3 days. I speak from 70 years of experience. Save your money. When I feel the first tingling of a cold sore I use Blistex and use it continually for 2 or 3 days and the blister doesn't even form. It's quite obvious that you don't accept comments that are truthful and affect your monetary bottom line. Another evidence of a scam."


"It works great and controls my irregular cycles. I like that I don't have to think about it all the time and I don't feel it during sex, though there were times it did tend to slip out, but it's not a common occurrence and varies from patients I guess. I do notice I get moody but that's really nothing. I was off it for about a month and nothing wrong but I am back on it again since I like to know when I'll have my monthly. I would recommend this method mainly for those that forget to take pills daily. Other than that, I guess pills would be cheaper."


"After being on pain management for 7 years, my brain started telling my body I needed higher and higher doses. I maxed out on Fentanyl and had enough of the merry go round. I had crossed from dependency to addiction. After a lot of research, I felt a life in pain would be better then what I was putting myself through. I walked into a detox hospital and started Suboxone. I was stunned when my pain was under control. With incorporating a recovery program, I have been clean for 3 years and take 16mg of Suboxone. I've tried lowering my dose, but my pain comes screaming back. I feel absolutely normal and praise the manufacturer for such a great remedy to a complex problem. If you are a Veteran, the VA has a great Suboxone program."


"I got this iud after a devastating pregnancy loss and I wanted to give my body time to heal and time to lose weight. Well 5 months after getting this it fell out and I'm now pregnant 3 weeks after it fell out. The pregnancy is a blessing, don't get me wrong, but this is definitely not a reliable method of birth control. After this pregnancy I'm going for the implanon."


"I have been on Kariva for about 3 years now. I originally went on the pill for my severe cramps and heavy bleeding. After one month, my acne cleared up, my period got much shorter, and my cramps were less intense. However, I have gained 20 pounds and a full cup size since being on the pill. In addition, I have absolutely no sex drive and a lot of dryness. Though I have experienced anxiety before taking the pill, it has gotten much worse since being on it. My PMS is much more severe as well."


"I took this pill from 18-25 when I had my first baby.  After, I was prescribed a different pill that was just ok.  After the birth of my 2nd son I tried Mirena and it wasn't in place correctly so I didn't want to try again.  Then, I went to Nuvaring, it was awful! Heavy bleeding on a crazy schedule and hormonal migraines that hadn't existed with other birth control. I am so happy to be back on Avaine as I have no notable side effects."


"I've had the Nexplanon since March 31, 2015 and so far so good. The only issue is that I was supposed to get my period April 13 but I never got it so I figured the birth control changed my cycle but then on the 16th I had a little spotting so I thought my period was coming either the same day or the next day, but it's the next day since the spotting and I haven't got my period. I'm not sure what's going on if I'm going to get my period or not. No other side effects except in the beginning I got more emotional than I usually am but I'm perfectly fine now."


"I was on this medication for two months and did not drop one pound. In fact when i decided to stop taking it due to the fact I was not happy with the product, within a week and a half i gained 10lbs and have now hit a record high As far as weightc"


"I have taken it for 4 months so far. It is now down to 5 days instead of 7 per month. The shots are painful in several ways. Went to IV after a couple months. The only good result I've had so far is no transfusions. In the fourth month I developed flu like symptoms despite constant vigilance.  I have been down for 9 days with this."


"First dose taken this morning, so far so good.  I am praying that I have no side effects.  I am 5"0" and weigh 182.  I had my thyroid killed 10 years ago due to being diagnosed with Graves disease.  I have been fighting being overweight every since.  I took my shot in the fatty part of the arm this morning and I really feel fine, almost feel like I have lots of energy.  Well see how it goes!"


"It's effective however the side effects are horrible"


"I have been taking Cymbalta for two months. It works great for my anxiety and chronic pain. I feel great, like a new person. The only side effect for me is insomnia. I will be checking back with Doctor on that."


"This med helps me depression so much! I have severe depression and anxiety and it helps with everything - the sadness, irritability, anxiety, social anxiety, you name it. Unfortunately it causes major weight gain. I mean, I gained 40 lbs in a few months so I weaned off of it, lost the weight with no lifestyle changes. Tried other meds but nothing worked as well so I have it another try. Again, weight gain. No lifestyle changes and gained 70lbs in 4 months. Repeat weaning. Repeat weight loss. Became suicidal. Had to go back on the med. remained on it for 9 years gained 150 lbs and remained stable there. Recently went off again and I'm trying to find another med because I can't handle obesity but can't find another med that works as well!"


"This is the only mesalamine formulation that prevents my symptoms (with an anti-TNF medication), and since it's taken only in the morning it's much easier to manage. Zero side effects. Very, very expensive. Sign up for the prescription copay card to make it as affordable as the generics.

Note that while the active ingredient is available as generic, the delayed-release action of this brand makes all the difference in my experience."


"I have been using the Androderm 2.5 patch for 45 days. My testosterone level has been 241 for the past several years. The first 30 days I had zero side effects. I have noticed in the past two weeks I am developing rashes, raised red "bumps", itching and swelling in the areas where I used the patch. This condition is actually considered a serious side effect that requires immediate medical attention. I have developed one particular area on my thigh that has become enlarged with intense itching. If it does not improve with 24-48 hours I will report the Emergency Room at my local VA. I will request my doctor to switch me to the gel which reviews indicate a distinct odor but that would be much less intrusive than these current side effects."


"It worked great!  But very disappoint that I can't afford $135.00 for a 30 day supply.  My insurance doesn't cover it so until then I will hope the price comes down."


"I've had the implant for over a year, and I have had a really positive experience. I haven't gotten pregnant, I don't have periods, and I haven't noticed any other adverse side effects. After the injection, I did have bruising around the area on my arm for a few weeks. Besides that, I would definitely recommend considering getting Nexplanon."


"I started this pill due to heavy and painful periods, and I wish I could say it helped.  Before the pill, my period only lasted 7 days, since starting, it has come every two weeks, sometimes not stopping for the entire month.  I'm on my fourth pill pack now and nothing is regular and the longest I've gone without bleeding is two weeks.  Definitely stopping.  It did clear up my skin though!"


"I have been using xenical since more than 15 days and it is showing very little effect on me. I noticed the oil execretion in the stool for 3 to 4 times during the whole past period. My weight didn't change also.
However, I know some people who are using xenical, and they are getting rid of a lot of oil; though they are talking only 1 pil per day; unlike me who is talking a pil with each meal..."


"Recently had this prescribed for debilitating menstrual cramps, so I stopped my ibuprofen regimen and the next day started diclofenac 75mg extended release. I swear it's like not taking anything at all. At first I thought it had taken the edge off the cramps, but at 12 hours almost to the dot it wore off, so I took a second, which isn't doing anything. Will try this again next month when I can start taking it in advance of the pain, but as of right now this has been a completely useless medication."


"Have had sleep problems last 10 years or so. Went to sleep clinic, apparently I do not fall into deep sleep stage. Doctor put me on Ambien 5mg. Wonderful. I slept all night and felt great next day! Fast forward 4 months. End up being tested for Lupus, Lyme disease and bloodwork galore because of muscle and joint pain that would show up  in different places and I was suffering EXTREME tiredness and weakness during day. All tests negative so doctor wanted me to stop taking Ambien and switched me to trazadone. Been a week now. So far so good but insomnia is back. Will NOT be continuing trazadone. Causing excessive pvc's and feels like my heart is going to burst out of my chest. Does NOT help me sleep even a little. Sad about the Ambien."


"I developed an acute social anxiety disorder in my early 20's.  After trying 10mg of Paxil, my doctor upped the dose to 20mg.  I have been taking that dosage for the past 10 years.  My social anxiety is much more manageable than it was, although I still have my moments.  I hate to increase the dosage, however, because the sexual side effects have been bad for me.  Climax is next to impossible unless conditions are perfect, and even then it is a struggle.  My sex drive is also down, possibly because of the disappointment the lack of climax creates for me and my wife.  Personally, I am happy with the results of Paxil in terms of my social anxiety, but the sexual side effects are rough.  Good luck."


"After a 6 week period of a severe depressive episode with panic attacks and extreme anxiety, I checked myself into the hospital. The doctor completely changed my meds to Prozac, Wellbutrin, Klonopin, and at bedtime 10 mg Ambien and 400 mg Seroquel. This combination has worked wonders for me. I started falling and staying asleep for a good 8 hours, my ruminating has stopped almost completely, and my depression has really lifted. I attribute a lot of that to the Seroquel, in that it augments the effects of my antidepressants, stops my mind from racing, and has me sleeping well. The two side effects I've had are grogginess (which has gotten better) and the munchies. I keep fresh fruits and veggies handy at night to snack on instead of junk."


"After years of searching these posts for user reviews of treatments for Tinea Barbae, I have yet to find one. There HAS to be others like me out there. It is not easy having your face look this way. Let me start by saying that I have had this "condition" of what was most recently diagnosed as Tinea Barbae for YEARS. I am 23 now and can remember the origins of it in high school. My case has been treated as acne in a thousand different ways and only recently did my dermatologist do a fungal test that came out positive. I was originally prescribed a topical anti-fungal cream (Lamisil) and oral terbinafine for 2 weeks. No improvement. Went back, dermatologist, switched me to Griseofulvin for 4 weeks. I just completed week 2 yesterday (4/12) and have seen NO improvement."


"Both extremes of Macrobid are accurate. I've had a lot of UTIs- to the point of having Macrobid prescribed with refills as needed. I never experienced any symptoms and this stuff was like a miracle. Took 24 hrs to kick in and felt great. I didn't get a UTI for 2 years and then just got one. I took Macrobid and it has made me feel horrible! I feel weak, have no energy, am always dizzy, have headaches, diarrhea, bad pain around my lymph nodes and always feel like I need to throw up. Fortunately I'm a sahm (stay at home mom) so I'm able to deal with it at home, but I had to have someone take my child to school because I couldn't get out of bed! Also it feels like it hasn't completely started working. So it can be great and horrible, even with the same person!"


"I have been using ProAir for the past couple of months because my insurance company would not cover Ventolin. I have found that ProAir is not nearly effective and does not help my breathing nearly as quickly or as well as the Ventolin. I am very disappointed in the way it sprays! When I compare a spray of Ventolin to a spray of ProAir in the air side by side, you can see and hear the difference. The ProAir is weak and slowly dispursed whereas the Ventolin is a strong great spray with quick result."


"This pill is the worst one I've taken, I've never been on such a problematic birth control like this before and it's causing so much stress on my daily life. I switched from reclipsen because it gave me a migraine every day, on the bright side this pill hasn't given me any. Unfortunately what it has given me is terrible acne, depression, day long lasting nausea, and the day before my period I had horrible pains in my right side from my belly button to the bottom of my pubic bone that I nearly went into the e.r. It was so debilitating that I couldn't move a muscle. Now, upon my self examination I've discovered a lump and have nipple discharge, I'm not entirely sure if the birth control is the direct link; but my Drs and I will see."


"Horrible yeast infection."


"i did not see any improvement in my incontenance."


"My son is 15 now and we have struggled for years with his ADHD. He has now been on Strattera for 2 years and has gone from straight D's in maths to A in achievement he can concentrate more retain information and does not lose it as he uses to. I have seen no side effects at all. At one point he went off it, lasted 5 days then chose to go back on it as he could tell that it helped his behaviour and way of dealing with things. I have only good things to say about Strattera."


"Prozac saved me! I've been in and out of hospitals for 10 years. Was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder. After changing Doctors and medicines I finally feel like myself again. I here no voices of worry and stress. I'm not irritated over the slightest things. I can now think clearer. After months of depression and panic attracts my new doctor recommended Prozac. For weeks I felt nausea and weakness. Then on the third week I got up and out and got a job the same day! I was no longer stuttering and confused. My relationship with my significant other is 100% better. My thoughts were very clear. I'd finally gained my confidence back! I'm very happy I tried Prozac. I feel amazing."


"Lysteda is amazing.  I have menorrhagia caused by adenomyosis.  I have dealt with disablingly heavy periods for nearly 10 years.  I usually take two days off from work and wear diapers for the first two days of my period, waking up several times throughout the night to change.  I also experience debilitating cramps and became severely anemic from the heavy bleeding.  This is my first month on Lysteda.  I just completed my third day of treatment, and this is the first normal period I have had in years - no diapers and no cramping whatsoever!  My flow was so light that I only had to change my pad a few times on the heaviest day, and had no need for tampons.  I highly recommend Lysteda."


"Works"


"Lexapro endlessly gave me the diarrhea."


"I have only been on it for a little bit but I love it! There are so many pluses to the Nuvaring. You don't have to remember to take a pill, you can easily take it out, you can't feel it, you don't need to be off it for a few months in order to get pregnant! I just recently changed over to this because Yaz was making me SEVERELY depressed. We originally thought I had to go on an antidepressant it was so bad but we figured it was this. I am so glad I got something with low estrogen and something that is so easy. The pills were also lowering my sex drive, but with the Nuvaring all my problems are gone!"


"I started out taking 8 Vicodins a day and after awhile I was a full blown addict taking up to 15 pills every 5 hrs a day close to 50 a day, really bad could not do anything without pills. Started getting really sick every two weeks skin turning yellow liver was hurting I was in very bad shape sex drive was gone my whole life was based around pain pills spending up to $500.00 every 3 days you get the point. Then one day I found out about Suboxone, made an appointment with a doctor that prescribed it, waited 2 days to take it and let me tell you it saved my life. "


"I've been on the shot for 5 months now. When I first got the shot, about three weeks in I started to bleed like normal period but then got lighter and lighter and continued for 3 weeks. Eventually it went into light spotting about every 4 weeks for a few days. I also will get a lot of sharp pain cramps that will last a few minutes every now and then but this happens randomly. Other than that I have no side effects. The doctor tells me the spotting and cramps will stop as my body gets used to the shot."


"Did its job by not getting me pregnant but I would definitely not recommend taking it. I was in and out of the hospital for 6 months with a weird nauseating stomach ulcer and the doctors never knew what was wrong. Every time they would dismiss me from the E.R. They would give me anti nausea pills and antibiotics to "control the pain and nausea", not get rid of it. Recently I stop taking my levora birth control and I haven't had one stomach ulcer problem."


"I have been injecting once a week for two months.  I have suferred disgusting belching, lack of appetite, diarrhoea, vomiting.  I am fortunate to be working but I am off sick again because I cannot venture outside of the house because of liquid pouring out of both ends!!   When I vomited this morning a lump of gunk surfaced which I think was the coagulated bydureon.  I am not willing to take this awful drug again.  The side effects do not outweigh benefits."


"I have just taken my second dose of Cymbalta.  My doctor suggested that I take 20 mg for 14 days and then go to 30 mg.  Right now I can tell that my depression has noticeably subsided and my desire to sleep all day/night has decreased.  I'm actually sleepy when I go to bed now.  Slept for about 4 hours and woke up and right back to sleep.  I have also noticed that I've begun to yawn during the day which I can't ever remember doing.  But all in all I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is finally the mediation for me.  I've been down in the valley this time for almost a year and I'm ready to start living my life again."


"I started chantix about 3 weeks ago and I am now 48 hours without a cigarette.  I am very proud I have lasted this long. The problem is I just want to sleep and I am very easy to snap at people. The cravings are only really bad at night. It works though been a smoker for 27 years."


"I picked up a cheeseburger wrapper off of the seat of a transit bus back in 1990.  It had a syringe wrapped in it and I managed to hit it on the back of the seat and stab and inject whatever was in it into my hand.  I was a lab rat for the High dose Interferon Ribavirin combo treatment in yearly 2000 but was booted from the trials because of problems they found in my blood.  Never told them about passing out ect just wanted to be better or not be at all as I felt so poorly.

Harvoni side effects are mild for me they include  a ten point increase in blood pressure, an increase in insomnia troubles, metallic taste in mouth and a  slight headache.

I am sixty-three years old and on week nine of my twelve week Harvoni treatment. Mental sharpness, clarity and concentration were a little better right away.   My night sweats and itching are mostly a thing of the past, my energy increased, extreme fatigue was replaced by a light relaxed tired feeling and much of the HCV fog lifted by week 3 I can actually think again and move at the same speed everyone else does what a plus!

I am grateful for those that pioneered the medication I thank them and God bless them for all their hard work.   As for those who set the unholy prices to get gain and extort money us, our insurance companies and the very government that paid billions for the research for the cure they should be in prison.

Shame on you Gilead and all of your greedy investors who make untold Billions of dollars while so many millions in the world suffer and many die just so you can get monetary gain!  Judgement awaits each of you."


"Been on for 3 weeks take shot on Mon. Side effects started on day 3. 2nd week day 4 this week day 5 . Upset stomach, vomiting,  extreme nausea! Nothing  helps!! Horrible belching and gas! Cannot function on those days. Blood sugars are great!  The jury is still out. Do these effects go away after a while?"


"I've been on nexplanon for 4 months. I loved it the first month; no side effects light spotting a couple days.
Now I've been on my period for 8 weeks and counting. My hair is shedding constantly. I have no appetite; I'm 21 with 2 kids and I now weigh less than 100 lbs. I'm always depressed or angry. Always tired. Constant back pain and abdominal cramping. I was having all day migraines for a month straight but that finally stopped. I get a sharp pain in my left side, by my ovary, everyday sometimes goes down my left leg making it numb. My boyfriend says this is turning me into a completely different person.
Went to the Dr 3 weeks ago and told him everything wrong, he said he could stop the bleeding and gave me the nuvaring, made it worse!"


"Great medicine. Stops my migraines in their tracks! The only side effect that really bothers me is "mild pressure or heavy feeling in any part of your body". My whole body feels so heavy, like it takes way too much effort to move. After taking it, I have to lie down for a while. Still, it's worth it for the effectiveness."


"Roxicodone has improved the quality of my life exponentially. Like so many others on this site, chronic pain has been a debilitating nuisance for me, one that I initially dismissed as a sign of aging. As my doctor confirmed a sciatic nerve compression, I was given Roxicodone to manage my aches and pain. Immediately, I felt years younger -- no longer am I stuck avoiding everyday tasks, such as grocery shopping, for fear that the pain will ruin my day.

This medication has also improved my performance at work and at school, as I am able to concentrate without random aches and pains distracting me. I feel more rested when I wake up in the morning. Yes, this is a "serious" drug, but taking it as prescribed will get your life back - seriously!"


"Was on Remeron for 3 months. It worked at first as I noticed anxiety lessening, but after three months it has lost it's efficacy. My anxiety skyrocketed, and Remeron has done nothing for it. Thank goodness I didn't have any side effects from the Remeron, aside from increased appetite. I think Remeron should be used for depression and not anxiety, so if anxiety is your major issue I'd go with an SSRI."


"Taking it for a week 10mg twice a day I have spasms in the back and migraines. This has increased my headaches and does nothing for my back pain. I am weaning myself off of this medication I am constantly sick to my stomach and dizzy. Worst med ever"


"Worked great for my back pain but had a whole slew of bad side effects including Anxiety, panic attacks, mental/mood changes, suicidal thoughts.  Never have been subject to depression or suicidal thoughts before.  Had to be taken off the med immediately when we realized that it was what was causing me to have all these problems."


"I was always mad and very anxious. When I would think about any situation my heart would race and I would feel all panicky. At times I even would have suicidal thoughts. I've been taking Lexapro for 1 month and feel great. I enjoy life and am not always stressing. I don't get anxiety and have no suicidal feelings. The only side effect I have is I'm not sleeping so heavy. I still suffer from OCD but I'm trying to have more control."


"Have been taking Belviq for 90 days. Have lost 20lbs! Like many others, have tried multiple things to lose weight over the last ten years, without much success. Belviq gets you over the hump! No side effects, no hunger pangs. Helps self-control in many areas. Also sleeping better each night. 90 day check-up with my doctor went very well. He said he was very excited by my results and will begin prescribing to other patients. A great product!"


"Never taking this again. Day 2 of taking this antibiotic for UTI and I have never felt so ill. Constant feeling of vomiting, bloating and loss of appetite. I rather have UTI than these symptoms. Horrible!"


"Our son was very sick for a year before being diagnosed with Crohns Disease, at his worst he was 62 lbs and 12 years old! The poor sweet thing was withering away to nothing! Every bone in his body stuck out It was a terrible time for the entire family to see such a sweet soul struggle so badly. Once we got the diagnosis of Crohns via biopsy and scope his Dr put him on Imuran. 7 months later he now weighs 78lbs and grew almost an inch! He is in remission!!!!!!!!!!!! We are so thankful for this prescription!"


"After completing 4 weeks of treatment, as prescribed, my eye became irritated i.e pain/discomfort,  redness and sensitivity to light. I  was told to repeat it for 4 more weeks. I've been on it now for 4 months with the same results. Stop it, and soon eye irritation begins again. And I'm back to using it again. Doesn't seem right, especially when one should not use it for long periods Doesn't seem to be working.
I too agree that it stings when instilled and I also taste it."


"Loss of appetite but seizure free"


"Works great for my grandmothers dementia, and sundowner symptoms..."


"I got the implanon in 2014 and for a long time I loved it. It's a highly effective method of birth control, and for almost a year I had no period. But then my period started back up again, happening at weird times and happening for WEEKS at a time. Sometimes I'd get off my period and then and up bleeding the next week. It was terrible. But what was worse was the weight gain. I probably gained 20 pounds. I actually do exercise frequently. I walk almost every night for about 3 miles and then a few times a week I'll go to the gym. But I wasn't losing any weight! And it gave me acne like all the time. 10/10 would not recommend."


"I've had my mirena for about three years now, and experienced a bit of cramping and spotting within the first 5 months and then it went away! I've loved my IUD ever since, until recently the past week I started feeling really cramped up. I noticed yesterday a tiny bit of rusty coloured discharge, but hardly any, until today when I went to the washroom it got worse, and progressively worse throughout the day. My underwear are completely stained with brown spots and I'm freaking out, somebody please tell me if this is normal!!!
Also, my best friend is on her period and I know it's normal for female hormones to sync with each others when they spend enough time together, but still thinking this is a little more serious.... HELLLP?!"


"I've been on Soolantra now for almost 3 months.  At 2 weeks, I had a flare up.  Then my face cleared up dramatically.  Then at about 4 weeks I had one of the worst flare ups that I have ever had.  White heads everywhere and a few hard pustules that took over a week to heal.  I wanted to give up, but am sooooo glad I stuck with it!  No breakouts since.  If you can muscle through the ups and downs, it's so worth it.  I believe this medication takes 60-90 days to see full results.  Don't give up too early!  I also just started on Rhofade in the Am.  Love this as well!  I do not want to take antibiotics and so far these two creams are keeping my face under control!!"


"I started this medicine five days ago. I suffered from some pretty notable nausea the first two days, and occasionally I get a little lightheaded. Those symptoms have basically worn off, and this is completely tolerable considering I have lost 8 lbs (182 to 174 & I'm only 5'3") in this short period. My appetite is barely there, and I'm full very quickly when I start eating. It's one of those, "OMG I can't eat another bite" feelings which is so strange to me. I've always been a member of the clean plate club!  My doctor was prepared to prescribe Victoza instead of Saxenda in the case that it wasn't covered by my plan, but they only required a prior authorization. I know the weight loss can't continue this quickly, but it's amazing so far!!!"


"Just started Belviq, slight headache first day, which subsided, but I noticed the superhuman ability to say no to snacking. I opened the fridge and didn't want anything. Noticed bursts of "I need to get up and do something".  My first night sleep was just so comfortable.  Will power in a bottle."


"Seemed to be a little slower acting, but it has calmed down my cough and I have not had any sign of diarrhea"


"I used the three-day version, and my YI symptoms improved, but it didn't fully kick it. Went to my OB/GYN thinking I might have had a different kind of infection, only to be told that most of the YI patients they see are women who tried the three-day and it didn't fully take care of the infection. The seven-day was recommended as the only way to go if you want full relief and cure for the infection. I didn't have the burning/itching side effects like other people, but I am peeved to learn that the three-day is basically a waste of money, since now I have to buy the seven-day anyway. Don't waste your time and money on a product that isn't effective and apparently burns people."


"RISK OF SUICIDE * WARNING * CAUTION * DON'T STOP TAKING YOUR TRAMADOL COLD TURKEY. My brother stopped taking Tramadol suddenly, without slowly tapering off. His serotonin level plummeted, he had a bad morning at work, and he committed suicide. Taking his own life was completely out of his nature. He was a pretty steady, content guy who deeply loved his wife and sons, and they him. Going off Tramadol cold turkey directly caused his death. SPEAK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT TAPERING OFF, AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY IF YOU THINK ABOUT SUICIDE. Your loved ones and friends want you here."


"I am currently taking this antibiotic, I am on day five. I honestly can't wait until it is over. I am an athlete in college and I can say that ever since taking this it has affected my performance. I also wish I would have started this earlier because it has me extremely tired and fatigue and this is FINALS week. I get constant headaches, awful taste left in my mouth all day, don't really have much of an appetite either. I've also been having horrible abdominal pain that sometimes aren't tolerable. I really do hate the side effects but I will go through this if it will make me better. The discharge as well as foul smell has gone away, which is what motivates me to keep taking this. I have only two more days to go. wish me luck!!"


"I am a 53 year old woman, I have struggled with depression probably since my 20"s. I would go to my family  Dr and she would prescribe an antidepressant, it wouldn't work and I would be given another one to try. This went on for many years. Until 3 days before Christmas last year , I had a major breakdown and my husband took me to hospital crises unit, there I met my psychiatrist!!! Thank God!!!  After talking with him he prescribed Bupropion XL 150 mg once a day. I have been taking it now for approx 1 month.

It didn't seem to be doing much for me (or so I thought )  until this week, It just seemed like a heavy fog has been lifted !!!

I'm hoping each day will get better and better."


"I've had kyleena for 2 months. I wish I had done it ages ago. Uncomfortable insert, but over with in minutes. Haven't had a single issue since. First period arrived on time and was light. Second period was just light discharge. No cramps, no pain. So happy with this decision."


"Best nasal spray on the market. Veramyst has changed my life. Not sure how I survived this long without it. I am 42 and for most of my life I have always had a stuffy nose. Thanks to this medication I feel like life has just begun for me."


"I started taking Amitiza about 4 months ago. It has been a miracle worker for me. I have had IBS for over 20 years. I just turned 40 last week and decided I had to figure something out, the doctors just do not take me seriously. For the first 3 months I took 2 pills a day then I switched to 1 in the am, and benefiber in the pm and its the same result. I go at least once a day, some days twice. I totally recommend it. Its better than what any doctor has ever done for me."


"I'm so happy that I can give a REVIEW.  May 31,2016 was the last day of my period. On June 1,2016 I had protected sex. He pulled out because he wasn't trying to nut fast..  So the condom broke. We haven't had sex for about a week and he missed me. I bought a plan b pill 8 hours later, I was on here reading reviews and hoping that plan b works. Plan b gave me so many bad symptoms, nausea, slight headache, PAINFUL LOWER BACK PAINS. about a week later, I'm back on my period. It's normal ladies. Don't stress and I will continue my story in another review to make you ladies feel comfortable and stress free. Hopefully it help."


"Have been a terrible sleeper my whole life. Runs in my family. Ambien is a God send for me. I take 5 mg and if it doesn't work I take the second half (5) for a total of 10. I do find myself feeling "dragged down" some mornings on 10 mg, but that wears off and even that at its worst is WAY better than me on no sleep!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Took first dose at noon . Took me about 20 minutes to get it all down . Salty cherry taste is accurate . Could be worse . It started working about 10 minutes later . I have been in the bathroom since . Getting the additional water down was not difficult as I am a water drinker . I am not looking forward to the second dose at midnight also can't imagine there will be anything left in my system by then."


"I've been taking Lexapro 10mg (5mg at first to build up slowly) for about 6 weeks.  I did feel nauseous for a few days. I noticed a change about a week after starting.  I take lithium and Wellbutrin- but those only seemed to help my anxiety.  I still had intermittent depression- I would just get into these moods where one little thing would put me in a fog of sadness and hopelessness.  I cried a lot, was distracted, and had a lot of negative racing thoughts.
My provider recommended Lexapro since it works on a different neurotransmitter than Wellbutrin.
I just feel normal.  I don't feel like things are dulled - just that I can control my reaction better.  I can feel sad, but I don't feel depressed. I don't dwell on feeling sad."


"This new Pristiq has worked wonders for me. I have tried practically every anti-depressant medication out there. I have bipolar 2 disorder, and most of the time, taking an anti-depressant alone without a mood stabilizer always set off severe mania. That has not been the case with Pristiq. Not only do I feel a million times better in every way, this drug has really decreased my appetite and I have definitely lost at least 10- 15 pounds since I started taking it about 7 weeks ago. I also take a little bit of Xanax to better manage my anxiety. However, that only enhances the already great results that I have experienced with Pristiq."


"It worked wonders for my back for 5 years and then my back became a lot worse. I am now up at Mayo Clinic to see what they will do now as I was told that I am inoperable."


"First time ever starting birth control and the reviews on here scared me! SO glad I decided to tough it out! I've been taking it for 4 months and the only symptoms I have had are a little more emotional outburst two days before my period (not that big of a deal, I was always prone to PMS emotional outbursts anyways) and breakthrough bleeding the first month. No weight gain, no acne (actually, less acne). I realize all women are different, but just thought I'd share my mostly pleasant experience with this pill! Oh, and of course...it works! Not pregnant!"


"Nexplanon = the worst mistake of my life. I had it inserted July 2014, removed April 2015, and I'm still dealing with the side effects today - I'm now being treated for painful cysts and debilitating cramps, and I'm convinced this drug caused them. Side effects included: prolonged/heavy periods (lasting 3-4 weeks), anemia (due to periods), recurrent yeast infections (due to periods), painful vaginal fissures (due to yeast infections), lack of sex drive, constant bloating, rapid weight gain, increased appetite, acne, irritability, extreme mood swings, anxiety and depression (honestly, who wouldn't be depressed). If you are at all sensitive to hormonal birth control, I do not recommend this drug."


"No positive effect!"


"This drug changed my life.  Since 6/15 I have lost 85 lbs, changed all my eating habits, went from the obese weight range to the normal weight range.  5 months ago my wife started on Qsymia and she has dropped 60  lbs so far, but more than that it has not been difficult for us, our tastes and habits have changed, and more than that we are enjoying life so much more.  I just had a cholesterol screening and my overall was 126, yes I said 126.  By the way, I'm 65 and my wife is 64, I've had a quintuple bypass and my wife has had a triple and Qysmia was cleared by our Cardiologist before we started it.  It's changed our lives, I wish it had been around 40 years ago."


"It's not that bad,  the taste could be more flavored,  overall,  I just used hard candies to suck on before chugging it down and afterwards.  I chilled my next two 16 Oz bottles of water in the freezer.  It did make me nauseated,  I kept burping like I was going to heive.   To relieve the sore bum,  I put a&d ointment on beforehand,  and used baby wipes without alcohol."


"I usually have irregular periods. I missed 2 months so my doctor prescribed Generess Fe. It's cool that it's chewable but taking this drug was not a pleasant experience.

For one, my mood swings were incredibly out of whack. I was so depressed and angry and irritable. I couldn't stand something like this having so much control over my emotions. I had serious bloating and my breasts were super swollen and I am already very busty so this was not very comfortable. I had painful migraines. The worst part about it was the CRAZY LONG PERIODS! I've only completed 1 pack and I got my period last month but it's still going on, 15 days now!! It's not really heavy but it's more than just spotting. I stopped taking it"


"The only confirmation I have that it works is my blood work. I feel no better or worse on Synthroid. It is very annoying to take. You have to take it in the morning, on an empty stomach, no food for an hour. And for some, no calcium for two hours. Tell me how do you eat breakfast with this medicine!? It does work though, so I gave it an 8."


"I had my copper iud inserted in May 2015 and till this day I'm still on my period. It has not stopped and its really painful. Its my first time using the copper iud and I hate it. Till this day I'm still bleeding. And I can't get a doctors appointment any sooner then Dec 22."


"I couldn't give this a high rating because I just started this yesterday 2/18/17 took it and overall seemed okay. I did feel a little tired. I slept very well, but did have one crazy dream/ nightmare and from reading the other reviews I'm thinking it's from the medication.  I do feel really tired today. I hope I don't feel like this all the time, but It's only the 2nd day. I will continue for a week or 2 and see if I see a difference."


"Taken for painful cramping.
5'3" 120 lbs, age 27 started with Lostrin, but moved out of state and started taking Sprintec in 2015. Honeymoon peroid. Two years later, I am 144 lbs, 29, suffer from depression, bloating, stagnant digestion, pain in lower abdomen (regardless of having a period,) and periodic cluster headaches. The weight gain has been gradual despite the fact I was working physical jobs and doing yoga a couple times a week.
Recently stopped taking pills as I noticed my period was occuring before I even got to the white row. Had been skipping that row completely as it seems my body wants to do what it wants. Experiencing(both abdominal pain and lower back ache) have lessened in frequency but when it's present it's debilitating."


"The first 6 months were amazing! No period, and only minor cramps when I exercised vigorously. Then I noticed my hair started thinning out and I was getting really bad acne. I finally got it taken out a little after having it for a year and am still having acne problems, and my hair still seems to be falling out. Hopefully it doesn't take long to get back to normal"


"I had a bad experience each time I tried it.  I have been on Ambien for many years, but my Dr wanted to try something else. The Rozerem made me extremely anxious, and did the opposite of what I needed it for! My heart beat fast, and I had a feeling of nervousness and anxiousness. I tried it 4 times, and it was the same all 4. Maybe I'm allergic."


"I have had occasional problems falling asleeep, mostly due to some severe personal problems too lengthy to go into here, but the upshot was my b/p was 195 over 95! Unable to eat or sleep. I was given 2 mg. klonopin and it seemed like a miracle!!! I bacame relaxed during the day time, and started sleeping all night long! I love it! After about 6 months or so. I had to increase the doseage by a half a pill. Many times if I do a lot of physical work in a day, I don't even need one. Love em!"


"I am taking this with Levemir and my sugar is controlled for the 1st time in ages.  I was supposed to be taking regular insulin but I am unable to be compliant so my doctor suggested this as something to try to bring my sugar down at least a little.  To my surprise it is working very well."


"A dermatologist (a different dermatologist than I usually see) recommended to start using Differin along with taking my Doxycycline. I have been using the topical gel for 3 days on my face and back and I only have negative things to say. My face is peeling badly and the skin is very red and irritated. I have tried different moisturizers and they just burn. The outer corners of my eyes are red and painful. My back broke out with large blister-like pimples. I do not have sensitive skin and my acne is not very bad. I feel this product has actually worsened my condition. I am going to stop using Differin immediately. I don't know how long it's going to take my skin to heal."


"I've been on Levora since last June.  I had to start taking Levora because my old pill which is loved has an issue with manufacturing or something.  Anyway I stared last June and by mid July noticed some hair loss. I thought it was just my body going through some changes so I chalked it up to the change in the seasons.  By the time September came around it wasn't any better.  Went to the gyno who said that hair loss couldn't be because of the pill.  She said it was because I stopped taking my prenatal multivitamins.  Of course it's your doctor so you listen.  Started taking my vitamins again in September/October and its now March and still have hair loss.  I stopped taking Levora on Saturday so we shall see what happens.  Also had very low libido and heavier periods."


"I HATE this drug! The side effects are AWFUL! I woke up feeling the worst nausea every morning, to the point where I would sometimes vomit. It causes AWFUL headaches. I had a really large clot  once along with killer cramps. My period was still irregular. Yes it was not as heavy, but it did cause spotting for a majority of the 3 months I was on it. My skin (WHICH HAPPENED TO BE GETTING CLEARER!) was breaking out throughout the 3 months and in places that I never used to break out in. Also, I went from being one of the happiest people, to majorly depressed with anxiety and mood swings. I now have the worst panic attacks. It will also make your sex life become HORRIBLE! PLEASE DONT TAKE THIS! Read all the reviews before you do!"


"This drug has not helped relieve pressure,  headaches or Visual Impairments in my case. My vision continues to go in and out without notice, waking up everyday with a headache and continue to have one well into the late evening before bedtime. The side effects are awful!  I have lost 29lbs in THREE weeks! I am unable to hold anything down, everything tastes nasty or like I'm eating pennies. Constant fatigue and restlessness. The prickling in the hands and toes, not to mention the constant nausea. Every case is different. It's not working for me but could for someone else. I cannot tell anyone to NOT take a drug or TO take a drug for IIH. Because every case is different, everyone will see different results."


"Here we go again with these meds. I have severe depression.  The best that I can say while taking this medicine is that I was just depressed.  I have no energy and that is saying something because I take 60mg of Adderal daily. To be fair, I don't know if it was the depression that wiped me out or this medicine.  I need to exercise and enjoyed it in the past, but I couldn't do ANYTHING on this.  My doc gave me a script for Luvox.  Wish me luck."


"I love love love the Mirena.  The first insertion was slightly painful, although the ibuprofen/aspirin helped.  I just got my 5 year old Mirena removed and the new one inserted.  All went well and it wasn't as bad as the first time.  My doctor was quick and gentle.  So far so good, I am very happy."


"I have been taking Lamisil for about 2 months. I have had toenail fungus for about 4 years. The fungus has been very slow growing. Which is why I think that I haven't seen any physical change yet. The fungus is on 4 of my 10 toes. I think that it is spreading to the other ones. I am hoping that I will see some change in the next months. I have heard it takes longer for the worse cases to heal. Oh, and I have had no side effects besides after I take it the first time after a break (I am on pulse dosage) I have a little upset stomach. Nothing too bad though."


"Not bad, not bad at all. Taste like chicken. After downing batch one, I did 3 miles running on the treadmill to speed up the process. Worked like a charm. I now feel like a new man, looking forward to my butt probe adventure..."


"Hey, I think alprazolam is the only solution for severe anxiety. My life was a living hell before it. Eventually it came to be the saving factor in my relationship. Thanks"


"Xanax is a miracle. Just recently prescribed Xanax and Lexapro at age 33 for generalized anxiety disorder and I can honestly say that I am back to my old self. I have only had 2 panic attacks in the last 6 months. I can sleep all night without waking up, I am much more laid back, I am calm and not worrying all the time. I would definitely talk to your MD about both of these medicines if you truly have an Anxiety disorder.  Both have been a life saver for me and my family."


"Got my IUD inserted 5 1/2 months ago. Having it inserted sucked, I had a lot of sharp cramping. But that is normal for me because my body tends to give off a lot of pain whenever I recover from something. The spotting was as the doctor said it would be like. It lasted 1-3 months and my periods have become less heavy. Overall my IUD is easy maintenance since because me and boyfriend check the strings after every cycle (and because he feels it every time during intercourse). I am happy I got it and strongly encourage others to do so! Its hormone free & lasts 10 years :)"


"Well,  I'm not pregnant but my skin is a mess and PMS symptoms have been terrible. I hate this stuff,  pharmacy gave it to me as a generic for Aviane and I will pay out of pocket before I ever accept it again. I've been on two other generics w/o any side effects, cystic acne just isn't worth it."


"Tried metformin & other oral meds but none could control my fasting levels & met forming makes me very nauseous.

Endo suggested Victoza. Gave me samples to test. Lost about 10lbs in the first 1-2 weeks of using it. No obvious side effects, initially. Sugar levels seemed to normalize & I had a complete loss of appetite. All seemed well.

The samples ran out & I went for a period not using it while I awaited an endo follow up. I could see the difference in my blood sugar levels when I stopped.

However, after getting back on it the weight loss did not continue.

The longer I use it the less it works. Now experiencing shortness of breath. Seeing a cardiologist tomorrow.

Side effects I've experienced are constipation, extreme fatigue, shortn"


"Love this pill! Great hormone balancer and contraceptive.
Pros: Cystic acne gone, moods regulated, no more monthly migraines, few to no cramps, on my period for only 5 days each month, did not decrease my sex drive.
Cons: weight gain (25lbs in 3 months that won't come off 3 years later), bigger breasts (D cup to DDD).

Other pills made me spot all month and have mood swings. This one does not. Free through my insurance too!"


"Do not waste your time or money on this drug. I was hoping I would be able to break the ambien and lunesta cycle with this..Benadryl works better than Belsomra."


"My Husband has had wonderful success with this medicine it never made him sick the whole time he has been taking it. He is presently still on it for maintaince"


"No appetite and no cravings. 30 pounds gone in 10 weeks."


"Due to major anxiety and stress can't sleep before 6-7:30am was put on anti-anxiety pill and Restoril today.  The anti-anxiety pill kicked in fast and made me kinda drowsy but the Restoril 30mg I just took 45 min ago doesn't seem to be kicking in.

Should I take another?  I do drink ale here and there but that should increase my effect not stop it right?
Maybe I should get used to Vampire hours!! This sucks lol"


"I loved being on this pill. The only reason why I stopped is because I am way too busy to take it at the same time every day, so I now have a birth control implant.

I did not gain weight. Acne... well, I've always had bad acne, even before birth control. I was secretly hoping it would clear it up, which it did not, but it definitely did not get worse. No weight gain, etc. Lightened my cycles for the fist year, then afterwards I would regularly get my period every other month, and then I would never get it (and take tests when I was worried.) Towards the end (I was on it for years), I was horrible with taking it on time-- there were days I would even forget to take it. With back up protection, I still was never pregnant. Loved this pill."


"I was prescribed 10mg amitryptiline for Endometriosis - for cramps I was getting that would radiate up my back. Coupled with surgery, amitryptiline has been life changing for me. I still have to take it around 7pm so I don't feel too groggy in the morning but I would rather have a good nights sleep and feel a bit tired in the morning than stay up all night in pain."


"I'm uncomfortable reading the scare stories about this device. I don't think they're that helpful to women who are looking for a reliable contraceptive.
My experience with the implant has been wholly positive.
I first had it inserted in September '05. No pain, no funny moods, no bleeding at all! No babies either. I liked it so much that when I had it removed in '08 I had it replaced at the same appointment. Again, no pain.
I have just been to have my second implant removed, but not replaced this time. And again, no pain, no stress.
I'd recommend it."


"Before having my daughter I was on Desogen for 5 yrs, with an amazing experience. It took me two yrs to get pregnant after stopping. Requested the same after baby with little difference. Had to switch 3 months ago for insurance reasons and have been miserable since. I am way more moody (weepy/short fuse), I've gained 5-7 lbs.  Terrible bloating the week before my period as well as nausea/vomiting and bad cramps a few days before. Worst symptom: complete destruction of my sex drive.
Like... I could really care less. I also started a week early this time for some reason. I am switching back next month and paying the $32 dollars a month until my doctor decides he believes me when I say that one child is enough for me.
"


"I have been suffering from acne since I was about 20 years old. I had my first baby and had an iud inserted as a contraceptive. I saw a doctor when I was 24 and she prescribed topical  clindamyacin and bactrim ds. It worked well but not 100 %. I stopped taking it once my mirena was removed and I became pregnant with my 2 nd child. My skin was clear my entire pregnancy! After my 2nd child I had another iud placed and the acne came back. I saw another doctor in December and he prescribed epiduo and oracea and 12 weeks later my skin looks & feels AMAZING. I couldn't be any happier with the results. I still have minor pimples and my acne scars but nothing like before. I am getting compliments from every one who knows me.  AMAZING!!!"


"It is the best. It is very expensive my allergy doctor helps me by giving me samples sometimes. There a program to help."


"After reading hundreds of reviews I was very nervous about the side effects and I'm gonna be completely honest there the worse I've ever known I've never felt so ill in my life BUT it did only last 5 days on 0.6 and 2 days when I doubled to 1.2 so stick with it if it's getting you down I promise it is worth it!!!! I take my dose at 11am and find I can eat fairly normally throughout the day until about 6pm then I have a tiny dinner and feel full to the brim also I am finally getting a full night sleep as I'm not up every hour needing the toilet. Today I had my review and I'm over the moon I've lost 16lb with no effort at all... I highly recommend "


"Excellent for migraines. No side effects. My 15 years old also suffers from migraines and it works great for him too. Usually only one pill a day helps. Other times just two a day helps to completely get rid of severe migraine.
"


"I started this two months ago to help with my light depression and anxiety problems as a long-term replacement for Xanax. So far I haven't had to use my Xanax in almost a month. I didn't think this would do much but I was wrong. The first two-three weeks I had some mild nausea and tiredness but that went away pretty quickly."


"I read a few of the reviews on this page and many said that in the first month or so they had terrible acne! This is also true with me but this is the only birth control I've been on where my skin is 100% clear after about month three! I also always suffered from SEVERE mood swings with other birth control- crying over nothing, bouts of rage, extreme insecurity- but this is so much better. The only downside is that for some reason I am very tired especially in the morning- it's almost impossible to wake up even with 8 hrs. But the changes in my mood outweigh the tiredness! Great for people who have a lot of bad side effects with other birth controls!"

"Epiduo is great. People say they are getting rashes because of Epiduo but they are wrong. You just have to use it in dime sized portions, it clears my skin really well."


"I recently had my third infusion and I always have more energy after.  My walking and balance also becomes better.  I have no side effects and am very happy."


"I have been on exemestane for fifteen months and I don't have any side effects. I attribute my waking in the night to having to go to the bathroom if I drink tea. I attribute my joint pain in my hip to the fact that I had it before I started and I am getting older. I sometimes get a hot flash but it lasts for about 30 seconds. I do sometimes get tired but then again I am getting older and some days I am more tired than others. If this medication can keep me healthy then I would say that I have no side effects. I do take a calcium supplement and try to exercise most days. I am an otherwise healthy 66 year old woman who is thankful for this medication and the fact that my breast cancer was caught early."


"I give this half a rating. I have chronic asthma and after nearly dying from an asthma attack I was prescribed Singulair along with Symbicort. This medication has absolutely helped me. I've been on it for over 3 months now. It really does help reverse the effects of asthma. Unfortunately it gives me some of the worst anxiety I have ever experienced. I tried taking it in the morning but the entire day I would feel unbelievably anxious. If I take it before bed I have the worst most vivid nightmares. This medication effects everyone differently of course, my only advice is to try it out for yourself."


"I'm not 100 % sure if it's the Yaz, but I've gone from being a very happy, upbeat, outgoing person to an irritable, slightly crazy person.  Everyone keeps telling me that my symptoms are related to situations that have occurred over the past few months (I lost a friend, both of my grandfathers and my job in the first 9 months of this year) but after reading other people's reviews, I'm starting to think it's the pill.  I have been taking Yaz for about a year now and my mood has completely flipped upside down.  My boyfriend has pointed out that I haven't been myself.  I'm constantly tired.  I always slept easily but haven't woke up feeling rested for quite some time. "


"I have just started Savella about a week ago I am praying this will work for me. I have gained about 80lbs on the other (Lyrica and Nerotin) ). I know it has helped with the pain already, I am hopeful and the only thing I noticed so far is I think my restless legs are doing a little more jumping. I guess time will tell."


"I have tried to Xanax and it doesn't matter how many milligrams I take it has no effect on me. I tried Klonopin which works however when it wears off I get horrible migraines which I found out can be a symptom of for some people. Valium is the only medicine I can take that reduces my anxiety. I ready here in some of the reviews people saying they had extreme anxiety and we're taking to milligrams my anxiety is so bad I take 10 milligrams 3 times a day just to be normal. It works it really works. It may be an old medication and it may not be prescribed very often anymore but I truly believe it is the best."


"I get migraines with aura. Right when I begin to lose my vision, I know the migraine is 30 minutes away. I take an Imitrex as soon as I start to lose my vision. It works within an hour or two about 80% of the time. I feel very weak and "out of it" when I do take one. It still doesn't help with nausea, however. I have not thrown up from a migraine (yet), just very nauseous.

I have also used the injectable version. That works SO much better. However, I have psyched myself out and can no longer give myself a shot for some reason.

Physical Therapy has really helped with my migraines. I also quit going to the chiropractor. I used to get migraines weekly, now it's been 6 months and I finally got one today."


"My weight is stable at 165 lbs., and my appetite is excellent. I take from 4 to 8 800 mg tablets with each meal, mainly determined by the size of the meal but also factoring in a very rough estimate of the meal's phosphorus content. By doing so, I have consistently had phosphorus levels within desired range for over a year without side effects. Without this medication, of course, high phosphorus with constant itching."


"I've been on birth control since 8th grade to help regulate my abnormal menstrual cycles. I was on combination pills, estrogen-only pills, and the depo shot before I finally tried the Ortho Evra patch. I've been on the patch for about 8 months now and I LOVE it! I use it for 3 weeks and have it off for the 4th week, as the directions say to, and it feels great to finally have a somewhat normal period and to know when I will start bleeding, and to not be bleeding when I'm not supposed to! I put it on my butt, alternating each cheek week to week. I haven't had any bad side effects, only very good ones like growing more than a full cup size and having a high sex drive. This is the best birth control I've ever been on!!"


"Got prescribed Zoloft after my 20 year relationship ended after my ex husband became addicted to meth. I was very depressed and couldn't control my thoughts about the situation, I had a hard time sleeping, zoning out, focusing, and adjusting to my normal everyday life. I started on 25 mg for about 3 weeks then increased to 50 mg. I've been on 50mg for a couple months and feel so much better. I can focus on my life again and never break down crying anymore etc. I had no side effects besides loose stool here and there. I like how there were no real side effects for me and it did what I was seeking. I would recommend to try Zoloft before other medications. I will not increase my dosage."


"I've had implanon for a little over a year. It's been pure hell. I have gained 60 pounds, and NOTHING I do helps me lose weight. My depression is extremely bad from the hormones. (I had depression before, but it's 10x worse). For the first FOUR MONTHS I was bleeding, with a 2-3 day of not bleeding. My periods are now, about 9 days long. I have irregular periods, so it goes from period with 3 weeks off, to period with one week off. It's just all over the place, with extremely painful cramps. I'm getting it removed tomorrow, thank God. I'm terrified of hormonal birth control now, this being my first one that releases hormones. While I have had a horrible experience, I hope that others do not. It might work for you, it might not."


"Got the implant Sep 17, 2015. First couple weeks I got headaches. My face and hair got extra greasy. I use to be good with showering every other day, by anymore. I haven't had period since September 2015, which has been awesome but it's affected my sex life and my weight. It caused me to be very dry during intercourse. :/ and it hurts. Also the weight I have gained is Insane. When I got the inpalnt I was 159lbs. In Jan 2016 I had a check up and I was 180lbs. Last week I talked to the nurses out the weight issue and it had gone up again  to 197lbs. I dont eat bad and I'm constantly active being a flight attendant and swim coach. Made appt at end of month to get removed. :("


"Desperate for relief after 2 surgeries within 3 months of each other, I was so hopeful about this medication.  I ignored the reviews and got the shot (11.75 dosage administered every 3 months).  I regret my choice so much.  First, the expense!  Even with insurance, my out of pocket was $1100.  The mood swings were so bad that I became suicidal.  I've gained 20 pounds that exercise and nutrition can't shed.  The hot flashes were controlled by an OTC called Estroven.  The pain did subside, but only for the 1st month after each shot (I got 2 shots total).  Now, the pain is back and worse than ever and I'm only on month 5 of the treatment.  Surgery # 3 scheduled in 2 weeks.  This med is NOT worth the side effects."


"Hey everyone! I started taking Adipex-P on 03/12. I am 5'5 and starting weight was 315!! :( Side effects: Dry mouth. Nothing else for me. It took about a week for the pill to curb my appetite. I drink lots of water!  A couple of days I cheated on my diet but I never over ate like I used to. I have changed my eating habits tremendously. Currently I have not done any exercising but I plan to start. Today is 03/24 and I have lost 8 pounds! This is just the beginning on my weight loss journey. I recommend this pill."


"I had a wreck, in the hospital 30 days.  I put on 25 lbs.  Went from 220lbs to 245lbs.  I have taken 37.5mg phentermine for a month and have not run or anything besides everyday life exercise and I am down to 225lbs.  Once I hit 215lbs I will start jogging.  I have taken this 3 years prior and worked out extensively.  In 1 yr I went from 240 to 193lbs. "


"I have been on Loestrin 24 for about 4 years now, and I thought I would share my excellent experience on here, since no one usually goes on the Internet to post about their GOOD experiences!

Loestrin is a MIRACLE drug in my opinion, the 24 day regimen made a huge difference as opposed to a 21 day regimen. This means that there are only 4 placebo pills at the end of the pack instead of 7! My periods were reduced to almost nothing (but didn't completely disappear, for those that like the assurance of bleeding) I need one panty-liner a day for about 3 days a month. It's AMAZING!

I never gained any weight, and I would say it helped my acne only a little bit %u2013 I get pimples no matter what I do.

Try Loestrin! You won't regret it!"


"Works within minutes usually. Have not noted any side effects with it although I do not care for taste. After it melts and is gone, I drink water to get taste out of my mouth."


"Suffered for 25 years, though not quite as bad now as in my teens/20s. Missing one day of my life each month to horrendous pain/nausea/fever/chills total lack of mental focus. This seems to fix everything! Amazing, wish I'd had this when I was 15."


"I was perscribed SaxendaSaxenda by my doctor for obesity. My beginning weight was 225 at 32yrs old. Ive been on Saxenda for 11 days now and have lost 8lbs. I have absolutely no appetite all day long, so I make myself eat small things. I'm juicing also so this usually keeps me feeling full without actually having to eat meals. I'll be moving up to the third dosage this friday, hopefully I'll continue to experience minimal side effects. I've only gotten headaches and some constipation but no nausea. Looking forward to what the next 90days bring. I'm very pleased with my results thus far."


"I started lo loestrin in July and found my self becoming very stressed out and depressed all the time. I also felt easily angered so I decided to stop taking it. My period pains came back and I decided to retry it in December. Since then I've gained 5 pounds and bloat super easy! Even when I only eat small meals. I also have been getting strong persistent cramps every night. I'm looking to switch to a different birth control."


"I have been on this pill for probably about 4-5 years.  My experience has been overall pretty pleasant.  I never noticed it affecting my mood or behavior and I have never felt depressed due to the pill.  I also never gained any weight or experienced acne.  My periods last about 4 days, previously before using the pill they lasted much longer.  I usually experience cramps and bloating the day before and the day I get my period.  My cramps have always been pretty bad even before I began using birth control, so I don't think it is caused by the pill.  I do recommend this pill for people who are looking to use it as a form of birth control and a way to regulate the menstrual cycle.  Unfortunately I must switch pills due to insurance coverage."


"I got this birth control thinking great no period for three years. Honestly I would rather have my period everyday for the rest of my life than have this thing in my arm still. At first it seemed fine I felt great and then a week or so went by and I was overthinking everything, became extremely stressed, and keep having anxiety attacks. I'll be fine for a few days at a time but then something small happens and I want to cry and yell at everyone. It has ruined my relationship and I feel crazy. I would not recommend this birth control. I get it out in a little over a week. Hopefully my mind can remain stable enough to make it til then without another crazy mood swing of depression. Also I feel like a pregnant lady craving food constantly."


"I came off this because of the flat mood where I had no real feelings but I wish I hadn't cause I would've saved time cause I got a manic episode 8 months later with lamictal but I felt like I always did better and felt better on lamictal but I guess I was only on 300 mg so it made my mania worst when I wouldn't sleep enough because I was doing my work. and all semester long I felt like I was getting manic and psychotic but I guess I didn't realize it takes longer to recover from a manic episode. I'm thinking of going back on Epival and Invega or Epival and Latuda cause there's almost no options left and I hated clozapine cause it gave me seizures and broke my ankles. my main problem is I can't take my vitamins with Epival."


"I was on Loestrin 24 for over three years and it worked wonderfully with my period; after about two years my period was so light that I rarely even got one which was awesome. I also didn't experience any change in my sex drive. However, I accidentally went off of it about five months ago (due to a change in insurance and I couldn't afford it) and after about 3 weeks of being off of it I dropped ten pounds (which, while I was on the pill, was never able to accomplish no matter how hard I dieted) and found myself in a much more stable and elevated mood. I realized after the fact that, although the pill was great for doing what it was supposed to, it made me gain a ton of weight and I was consistently mildly depressed."


"It gets the job done. Tastes gross and I personally had a hard time keeping it down but I managed. It took about 2 hours for the first dose to kick in and I've been going since. Took the 2nd dose an hour ago and almost clear!"


"I have been taking Linzess for 7 days to treat chronic constipation.  It hasn't made me have the urge to go yet.  I finally went 6 days after starting it only because I took a suppository which certainly didn't empty me out.  Is this normal?"


"I've been on for a week I've experienced every side effect on the list from nausea, queasy feeling in my stomach minor acne excessive sleeping no appetite looking at food makes me feel sick almost like I'm pregnant again Moody and no energy almost feeling weak..I have to take 3 at a time to stop and regulate my cycle due to an abonormal cycle that lasted 6 months after my pregnancy I'm already thinking about changing it I think the side effects are to much and the comments about this bc method is no good but at the end of the day every body is different"


"I have cystic acne around jaw line and chin, doctor prescribed Aczone, have been using for 4 weeks and as of now I'm not happy nor satisfied. Within first week my skin appeared smoother and smaller pores. During the second week I broke out in cheekbones (possible result of new blush) but after use of Aczone every day none of my acne has gone away. Going to give 2 more weeks before going back to dermatologist."


"Trilipix reduced my triglycerides from 3456 to 200, yes that's the number, and lowered all my bad cholesterol from 355 to normal, but unfortunately, Trilipix gave me the same side effect, dizziness, joint pain, a lot of muscle pain issue. Now I'm going back to the doctor. I just noticed that when I read all the side effects of Trilipix and now I understand what causes all the pain I was going through."


"Xanax has been a life saver for me. I have been diagnosed with panic disorder and depression since I was a teenager. I learned through lots of therapy that my issues are environmental and chemical. There are times when meditating and positive affirmations do not work during my attacks. This is when I take my Xanax so I can function like a normal human being. I do not abuse my Xanax and have been on the same dose (0.5mg) for the last 10 years. There was a time that I was having multiple panic attacks daily for months. Xanax helped me stay sane until my psychiatric found the right SSRI for me. I think that this drug is great as long as you have a good doctor and use the appropriate amount."


"After taking Leflunomide for 5 weeks I broke out with a skin rash under my arms & around my waist, stomach and my arms.  My Doctor advised me to discontinue the meds.  I see him today to see what I do next.  I took prednisone the first 4 weeks with it and had no problems.  I also woke up in the mornings with a slight headache that went away shortly after getting up."


"My only experience with erectile dysfunction medications has been with Levitra. Started out with 10 mg and found the side effects to be a bit too strong. The sinus thing is pretty annoying for me as it kicks into my asthma. Cutting back to 5 mg helped. Still get congestion but manageable. Erections are reliable and the bill comes on fast, usually within 30 minutes for me. Here's a money saving tip for those with insurance. Buy the higher dose pills and cut them."


"Regular Dramamine makes me extremely groggy. Tried this for the first time today and it works like a gem! I get dizzy and nauseous between 2-4pm every day, Dramamine has been a real savior."


"My son's in his late teens and has anxiety and A.D.D.  He had also gone through episodes of depression.  Other prescription drugs left him zombie like.  Oxcarbazepine has been a miracle drug for him.  It took about 2 months to get to the right dosage.  Please keep in mind everyone is different.  He was only allowed to move dosage up once a week then every 3 days after a few weeks.  Yes he felt tired for 1-2 months but after a few months he says it's life changing and we haven't seen him this happy in years.  He's been taking it for  almost a year now with no problems. He takes 200mg caffeine for his ADD and it calms him down so he's doing great in college."


"I had been experiencing milder depressive symptoms for a couple of months, but then suddenly one morning I woke up with all the physical symptoms of a panic attack, which I'd never had before (never had any anxiety symptoms before), and symptoms persisted almost nonstop for 4 days until I could get in with my doctor. I wasn't having anxiety about any one specific thing, I just felt hopeless and like I'd lost control of my thinking. She prescribed me klonopin for immediate relief (big help) and the generic version of lexapro (10 mg) to actually address the problem in tandem with counseling. I'm only a week in but feeling LIKE MYSELF and so much better in general. Had some headaches and sleepiness/yawning in the first week but lessening now"


"The first month of taking Loestrin 24 Fe I developed a horrible yeast infection and bladder infection. I called my doctor and she prescribed me medicine for that. She also stated that it probably wasn't the birth control. So I decided I would try it for another couple of months to make sure. Again, on my second month of trying it, I got another yeast infection and slight bladder infection but used over the counter medicine to get rid of it this time. I'm on my third month now and I feel a slight yeast infection starting to up come, but I'm eating a lot of yogurt to stop the infection. Also, during the first and second month, I practically skipped my period. Only bled for one day or so and it was so light."


"My son began taking Strattera about 3 - 4 years ago.  He had a bad reaction to Adderal, so the doctor tried Strattera as a non-stimulant.  He first started 18 mg once a day, no noticeable change. Then increased over time to 50 mg once a day.  He wasn't defiant, but just didn't (doesn't) care to do much of anything.  4-6 weeks ago he started having "tics". Not putting the two together, last month his doctor increased to 60 mg a day and the tics have continued to get worse.   He's also been more depressed, having panic attacks, and anxiety.  He goes to school, but gets nothing done.  Went back to his doctor and she know has started taking him off this medication.  I hope the tics stop.  He's scared and this continues to add to his anxiety."


"My Dr. has me on an Opiod for severe spinal pain, which has caused severe constipation!  So he prescribed Amitiza, 24 mcg 2x's a day, well now I am not sure I will continue taking it.  When I first began taking Amitiza it worked great, so my Dr. wrote up a script for it.  Well, now it hardly works at all!  Constipation is nearly a daily situation for me and a painful one at that, I am miserable and frustrated!  It has also messed up my appetite, I can barely eat food and when I do, it makes me nauseated and my tummy hurts as well.  I am sick to my stomach if I eat and if I don't eat.  I feel sick from an overload of toxin build up (maybe I am imaging that a bit)!  It is pretty messed up when you fear eating and fear not eating!?"


"I have taken Plan B twice (not planing on taking it EVER again, got myself a prescription for regular BC now). Normally my boyfriend and I always use condoms but this time made a egregious error in the heat of the moment. I took Plan B the next morning and was freaking out for a month because I read SO many stories about women getting pregnant anyways. Well today I just got my period and let me tell you it is the happiest I have ever been to get cramps. The only side effect I experienced from Plan B was gas which was uncomfortable but not painful. Minimal side effects and extremely effective.  If you need to take Plan B RELAX it really works!"


"I have Panic Attack Disorder and anxiety.I use Librium on and off as needed. It works wonderfully. Makes me calm in about 20 minutes and I feel I can control the rest of the day. I take 5mg as needed. When I take it as needed it doesn't have side effect."


"My sister had eczema and when she used it everything went. Simple! "


"I am about to get my second dose of Botox and very scared to do so.  Three months ago I received my first dose.  It was very painful and took 3 1/2 weeks for the pain to go away, the pain was very extreme.  The Dr. said the shots were suppose to ease the pain, well that was not the case.  He explained that the next round of shots might be worse since he knows I have bad reactions to it and asked me if I wanted to bare that pain.  After reading reviews I decided to go ahead with the dose in November even though I am scared but according to y'all it only gets better.  Hoping for the best."


"Relafen always gives me bloating and gas."


"After having been on Lexapro (tired all the time and nearly emotionless, libido killer), Zoloft (gained 30 lbs in 3 months, libido killer), Effexor (ineffective and made my head sweat, libido killer), Paxil (zombie, libido inhibitor), Wellbutrin (allergic), I was afraid Viibryd would be more of the same. I've been on it for about 6 or 7 months and I had no side effects other than mild nausea about an hour after taking it, but it went away fairly quickly. My libido is back to normal and I still have emotions, which is great. I was on 20 mg but I started to feel the hopeless despair and irritability break through so my Dr bumped me up to 30 mg (I take one and a half 20 mg tabs) three or four weeks ago. The adjustment is taking time."


"After years of getting up over two times a night sometimes 7 times, and having my sleeping pill cut in 1/2, a new primary care Dr. Recommended amitriptyline 25 mg, and last night I slept, and did get up only 1 time. So far, it's great.  I hope others hear about this."


"I took this supplement awhile back with hope that it would help me with my migraines, I would have them for weeks at a time. So I took 200 mg everyday, I don't recall if i took it with or without food, but definitely took it during the day for at least a month. By the time I met with a neurologist my migraines were almost gone. He told me to stop taking it as he didn't know enough about, so I did, but nothing has worked so well since, so now I'm going back on. I believe that studies have been updated well enough. :-)"


"I started taking contrave in August of 2016 and it worked for me the first day. I did suffer from nausea sometimes but to me the medicine did more good than bad. I have lost just about 50 pounds since August.  It suppresses my appetite and I have no desire to eat junk food. I don't eat fried food anymore either. You have to do your part for the medicine to do it's part. No such thing as a "magic pill" but it does help me make better food choices and I exercise as well. All in all I like the medication"


"I married a great man.  I put this man through hell . I'm 34 was 32 had a hysterectomy and here came menopause. I was living hell.  I felt every bad feeling you could possibly feel. For no reason. Finally this Feb 2017 I snapped. I don't remember much other than trying to kill myself.  I almost lost my family. I reached out for help my Dr put me on 30mg then 60 now 120. The 1st day I felt brand new. My face was numb but that's it. Everything is brighter better warm and I have love in my ❤   Thank you for saving me!"


"There seems to have a lot of mitigated reviews about that med. I have rapid cycling bipolar 2.  Tried Seroquel for 2 months a couple years ago which led me to crazy nightmares, persecution thoughts and the worse suicidal ideation. So I was very reluctant to try another medication in that class, but surprisingly risperidone works like a charm in stabilizing my moods. Racing anxious thoughts are reduced to a bare minimum, I can focus on enjoying the present moment but not elated hypomania, just confident and Zen. Crying spells have not happened since starting 1 month ago. Great nights sleep at 1mg at night combined with 10mg Lexapro in morning. Risperidone is a sunrise in my life."


"I've had cystic acne for 15 years and was finally prescribed isotretinoin at the age of 27. I went to a private dermatologist who prescribed the medication, then I switched to the NHS. I'm currently on month 5 out of 6 and acne free at 70mg per day. It was month 4 when I became free of acne, so it does take a while to fully kick in. Side effects - severe eczema on my hands, very dry eyes and lips. My only regret is I didn't get on this medication 10 years ago, which would have prevented scarring and emotional issues. I am SO ANGRY with the NHS for refusing me this medication back in 2007."


"Seems to help. I take 100 mg, twice a day in a combination with Lortab 10. Have not had any of the listed side effects other than, I tend to anger quicker, nothing that can't be controlled."


"The medication is very good.  Unfortunately it is expensive"


"Unfortunately my experience has not been good. I did a Sunday start and have been bleeding for over 3weeks. I have had horrible stomach aches, skin breaking out, bloating and mood swings. "


"Maxalt relieves my migraine in 1 hour however it does make me sleepy.  I love the fast dissolve feature. I will have to stop using it however due to the rising cost not covered by my insurance company.  I am now hoping Imitrex will work as well."


"I've lost 10 pounds in 5 days my start weight was 185 my current 175 my goal 145. My first day taking it I was very drowsy but now the only side effect I have is nausea but it's only around the time I would normally eat."


"I was put on this medication by a new doctor who didn't like that I was on fentanyl patches.  I was put on the 10 mg to start.  The first couple of weeks everything was great, no pain.  But then I started having severe muscle and joint pain.  Since I have Lupus and Sjogrens I am used to joint pain but this was worse than normal.  I tried taking the patch off and the muscle aches stopped.. but the other pain I had was worse.  My doctor thinks I need to take a higher dose... so I tried the 20 mg.  Made me so sleepy I couldn't keep my eyes open.  I wonder if any other people have had the side effect of severe muscle aches. I wish I could find something to make it stop."


"For the past 18 months, I have experienced labile hypertension of unknown cause evidently unrelated to any underlying condition or risk factor. Coreg CR which I have been taking for approximately two months has provided great benefit in stabilizing my surges (from 100/50 to 200/100 in less than two hours). It is a beta blocker and provides some vasodilation.

Side effects to date include some shortness of breath, which reduces over time, and some dizziness and drowsiness/hypotension approximately 6 hours after administration. Taking 40 mg extended release form along with calcium channel blocker, clonidine patch, and diuretics."


"Probably the best medication, compared to the others. The best thing you can do for taking it for long periods is to stay on a consistent dose."


"I bought this after I had my first breakout in years, it wasn't that bad but I had an event coming up and wanted it to be gone asap. So I go to the pharmacy buy this really expensive product, apply it just like the package said to and it got worse and took longer to completely heal. The cream was painful and just prolonged everything.  I stupidly decided to give it another chance and the next time was even worse. After that I started having breakouts all the time,  sometimes twice a month. I wrote the company and complained but no one bothered to write back. Since then I've been using high doses of vitamin c and it's awesome. I take 6000mg vitamin c right when I feel one coming on and it prevents it 99% of the time."


"I find Imitrex to be very effective against my migraines as long as I take it at the start of one. The first and second time I took Imitrex, I experienced stomach cramps. The next time I had to take it, I had eaten shortly before and this greatly reduced the cramping. If I'm nauseous I obviously won't be able to eat a full meal, but the cramps do seem to be decreasing each time I take it anyway. The only other side effects I have are a burning sensation in my nose, and a sore throat, which are both tolerable. Imitrex is very expensive, but definitely worth it to me. I can take a tablet, lay down for an hour or two, and then get back up to live life again."


"My bedtime got later and later until it was early morning as I wasn't tired and never fell asleep when I went to bed. Brain was overactive continually. Bought packet of Dosylamine and took one tab an hour before bedtime. Relaxation kicked in one & half hours later and slept solidly for 12 hours! Totally useless the next day as groggy and no energy. Next night cut the tab into quarters but that proved too little as had no effect. Will take half tab tonight which hopefully will be the right amount. It relaxed tension and brain activity and teeth gritting, so for me seems a muscle relaxant enabling my mind to let go and shut down.  Subconscious anxiety is my problem that prevents sleep. I am a worry wort."


"This medication I take 200mgs in a divided dose daily , have experienced considerable reduction in medium - strong pain.

Well tolerated over the last 4 weeks

Many thanks to all , it's worth a try!"


"The only benefit to the birth control, is that is prevents pregnancy. It has caused me major mood swings (anger, and sad), pain in my breasts, and acne breakouts. I have never had issues with acne even as a teen. Its not worth it."


"Ive been taking Levetiracetam for 10 years now. I take 500mg 2X daily. The first 4 years I experienced little side effects like strange sleep patterns, always tired, and a slight disruption in my ability to concentrate. My seizures were reduced to only 3-4 a year vs. 1-2 a week. In the last five years however the long term side effects have hit me hard...muscle and bone weakness, sciatica, migraines, hair loss, no energy, bouts of rage where I feel outside my body watching a mad woman ( I have always been a calm collected person who never yelled and rarely felt anger), the anger is overwhelming. Suicidal ideation, severe depression, complete lack of concentration, inability to think of words ( which is devastating for my love of writing)"


"When I had a really bad ear and sinus infection I went to go see the best ear and head doctor. He told me to take Sudafed so I did and it was like magic. It helped so much, 15 mins, I was clear so its worth the try if you have any sinus problems try Sudafed. It works!"


"I have suffered with depression since I was 12 years old. Knowing manic episodes would pass, I still kept thinking I absolutely couldn't live my life this way. I tried everything Prozac, Wellbutrin, Celexa, Lexapro and Seroquel. Finally after going back and forth with antidepressants. We decided to try Strattera with clonazepam instead of an antidepressant.  For 10 months I did fine. Until a few weeks ago when I had the longest and one of the worst manic episodes yet.  Bed bound and shower less every weekend. My doctor decided to try the Abilify 2.5mg. The first 2 days I was VERY irritable. I couldn't sleep at all, slowly those side effects are going away. I cannot describe how great I feel now, sleep still interrupted but much better."


"My self esteem is non-existent right now! I have been using tetrinoin .025% for nearly 3 weeks now for cystic acne on my chin. While it has helped the cysts on my chin, my entire face has broken out. I'm getting pimples on my cheeks and I have never had a problem with pimples on my cheeks! About 2 weeks ago my skin was flawless and I was so excited about this medication, but now I don't know what to think. I am hoping this is just the "purge" stage that so many have mentioned. And that it ends soon. I am miserable! I am going back to my dermatologist in a week so I'll see what he says."


"I'm a 47 yr old male, runner (in good shape), non-smoker, never on any long term meds aside from ADD treatment with Wellbutrin (worked well). Sex life began declining about 7 yr ago but never thought I had erectile dysfunction until this summer when the equipment stopped working sporadically. Then I went on Strattera and prostatic hyperplasia hit with full blown erectile dysfunction. Doc gave me 5 mg Cialis, tried it twice and its fantastic. Not only can I urinate, but erectile dysfunction symptoms are virtually non-existent. It feels like my whole pelvic region dilates and my plumbing really gets a thorough roto-rootering! Great stuff. I hope it keeps on working!"


"Monistat 7 - this stuff has made my vagina go from 2-3 itching to 10 on scale of 1-10! I'm so miserable I feel like I'm going crazy! Please someone help me fix it!"


"So far, I haven't had any problems with Apri. At first my feet swelled a little bit, and I was kind of bloated but that all went sway after the first pack. I've had Nexplanon which was the WORST birth control I could've ever got. It cause SO many health problems for me, mostly stomach problems. It made me lose a ton of weight, which wasn't very healthy for a 15 year old. I was on the Depo shot, and that made my moods CRAZY. I have pretty bad anxiety already, and the shot pretty much made it worse. I don't take any medications for my anxiety, because I don't believe I need to but I had to with the depo shot. It made me gain about 15 pounds, so I'm basically back to where I was 3 years ago before Nexplanon. Apri has been the best for me yet."


"I've had been on Trinessa for a year and a few months, ran out and because of insurance issues couldn't get back on it until this month, all together taken it for almost two years. The whole time when I first started and this second time I started taking it again have both been good (and the same) experiences.
I have experienced bloating and increased discharge (which both suck a lot), but on the plus side no weight gain, no headaches, no change in my period (it's always been really short except when I used the Depo shot), no change in sex-drive. I have recommended this to a friend."


"I have been on the ring for a few months I have had an increase in appetite, times where I feel nauseated out of no where, I have gained 12 lbs!! I am highly into fitness and can't seem to shake this extra weight off. Moods def change my bf thinks im crazy now lol. I have dryness and irritation in my lady parts kinda sucks feeling you got a yeast infection 24 hours a day and sex is not so great. I plan on taking this out tonight now looking at all the reviews this def is not for me. Thanks everyone for sharing! I am not alone!"


"My fasting blood sugar was 265 ---> 102 in one week on 1.2 dose, no appetite, no side effects. Strongly recommend."
