"I had uterine ablation and Mirena insertion under general anesthetic 5 weeks ago. I am SO happy I did. The only side effects I've noticed so far are a few small breakouts (I had cystic acne all through my 20's, so I was very concerned about this)-- but it seems all settled now and my skin is clear again. I had several friends and doctors recommend Mirena to me. I was hesitant and tried naturopathy first to regulate my cycle and help with ovarian cysts etc, but nothing worked enough to get my iron up. So glad I tried this. I feel like it's improved my quality of life so much already. I would recommend to anyone concerned about pain of insertion, to ask your doctor if insertion under conscious sedation is an option."


"I am a male age 30 and I was diagnosed with Pan Colitis 3 years ago. Once I changed my diet (no lactose, less fast food, no sodas) it has seemed to be only confined to my left side. I have had a few flare ups each year but have always used prednisone each time. This works great for my UC but makes me a grump, I gain weight, get acne, etc. Each time (3-4 times) I have tried Asacol or Lialda it flushes out my colon with severe diarrhea to the point it is fluid only and each time I have stopped taking it because of the adverse reactions. Currently I am in a flare to the point of seeing blood and I do not want to have to start on prednisone again. So now I am on day 5 of taking Lialda and the diarrhea has been less each day. Hopefully I will stop seeing blood soon."


"I was on Klonopin just recently to help my anxiety (since then I've been switched to Abilify and Effexor to help, but I may be put back on again).
I feel anxiety basically all day, everyday. It always wells within me.
Klonopin helped take the edge off of my anxiety so I could feel like I could actually breathe. I was disappointed that I was taken off, but at least I may be put back on again. It helps so much when you have terrible anxiety and need something to help you."


"My experience with Moban was positive.
My doctor combined it with Paxil and
my anxiety and depression rapidly faded.

It did make me slightly drowsy and
because I was working at the time
we switched to other medicines."


"My daughter is been taking Afinitor 5 mg for a brain tumor, cerebellar pilocytic astrocytoma grade 1, the tumor after a MRI every 3 months is stable, no grows, after 2 surgeries this pill is helping to keep all under control. Thanks God!"


"so i posted a few days ago talking about i promised my self i would write a review. blah blah.. well i just want to update on my experience. that day i got my "period" but i only bled a bit , and then it stopped for 3 days . and yesterday i got it again but this time its EXTREMELY HEAVY blood. another side effect i got was that my breast hurt so much. the side effects are horrible. my period is extremely heavy , but its better than having a baby . just wanted to state my side effects for girls out there reading this."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"The only thing that works for the complex migraines w/ vertigo and gastroparesis that I get as a result from a vagal nerve injury.

Other migraine medications have caused heart complications, so this is it for me.  It's terrifying whenever there's a shortage."


"This medicine is a lifesaver.  Both my boyfriend and I take it and we don't kick each other out of bed like we used to!"


"I've had hip c for a long time maybe 40 some years and I've started  ZEPATIER three weeks ago and I've noticed a slight difference in my health meaning I feel a little better and I've had no side affects so far I'm glad I finally got help and I'm putting it behind me , get help you'll be glad you did ."


"I too progressed from Gabapentin to Lyrica, 100mg 3x a day. I have chemically-induced neuropathy from 6 months of chemo.  My hands and feet are numb, tingling, like they are asleep.  Lyrica is supposed to be an advanced form of the Gabapentin, though I have seen little difference.  I have increased appetite and some swelling in my hands and ankles.  I continue using Lyrica because I need something for the hot shooting pain.  This was the last med prescribed for my neuropathy."


"I have had diarrhea every morning with pain.  After reading about gall bladder removal I found that some try Welchol to help because it is a bile sequestor.  It works great for me.
I went to a gastroenterologist and told him about my findings and he said "Congratulations" you diagnosed yourself.  He gave me a years prescription for Welchol.  I take three in the morning and am doing quite well.  Wish I had known about this several years ago.  Before Welchol I could barely leave my home before noon.  Now I can travel again.  So far, no side effects. Thank Goodness."


"I have been taking  this medicine for 22 years. I have Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and a very bad spine. I had a Doctor give me Tizanidine and it put me in the ICU. I almost died!
After I got home and back on some solid food I took my two 750mg 3 times a day like I always did and they have been great for me. But the Fed. Gov. and DEA want to put their nose in sick peoples business and try to take all the things away that work for sick people. I really think they want us to die and get it over with.
This medicine my not be for some but we all have a different body."


"I've only been using this for 4 days so far. I put it all over my face because it says to use on the "area" that is spot-prone, and all of my face gets spotty, though not at the same time. I have pretty sensitive skin anyway, but this stuff BURNS! And my face is red raw for the next 3 or 4 hours. I put it on in the evening and by morning I'm no longer red and stinging. It has also made me extremely dry and flaky and tight skinned, which is to be expected, but I can't bear it so put on moisturiser almost immediately afterwards, which may be slowing down the process. It hasn't helped my acne yet, but I'm hoping with a little patience and pain-tolerance it will do the job!"


"I've been suffering with very painful mensuration and chronic pelvic spasms for over 20 years. The first time I did Lupron is was a god sent, finally I didn't have to plan my life and work around my period. Now I'm on a second round. I'm using the 3-month injection and I love life. Yes, I have hot flashes and I can be a bit emotional at times, but I'm not in pain and that is what I was going for. I'm 42 now, and I'm hoping I can stay on this medication, until I'm 50. I would really hate to go back to having to deal with this again."


"Been on trulicity over 8 months, 6 or so months ago, thought I had pancreatitis, stomach pain so bad, sulphur burps, stomach swollen with gas, nausea, going thru tests to find out what's wrong, then back pain that I've never had before, so severe.  Already need hips and knees replaced, but knee pain got worse , nausea  everyday and night, sipping ginger ale just to survive, can't eat, except for cheese nips....not till today did in realize all this may be caused by trulicity!! Thought I was dying!! Ugh happy to have found this site"


"Was put on Generess Fe to regulate spotting I have had for 3 months(PCOS). Have been on it a month and it has been a horrible experience. I was surprised to see all the great reviews since I am having such trouble. I am a usually very happy person and have been extremely depressed, emotional(crying outbursts at ridiculous things), and irritable. Ive had headaches daily since Day 1. Spotting has gotten worse. Breasts are so tender and painful and horrible low back cramps during the 3rd week. Praying this is just because Ive been so long without a cycle(8 years and 1 month) and its just shocking my body. Doctor says it could take 3-4 months to regulate. Not sure I can handle that but willing to try."


"I am just checking in again.  I started campral and naltrexone last fall after drinking for years, failing the traditional in-patient treatment/AA way...... I am now nearly 10 months without a drink.  I don't really crave alcohol.  Occasionally a stressful situation will come up and I will think about drinking, but that passes quickly because I just don't have the cravings or desire.  My life is so fulfilling.  It's not without it's challenges, which is why I have regular counselling in order to recognize and deal with what issues I let alcohol take care of.  I truly do wake up thankful for this relief."


"I've had acne for 5 years now. I'm 11 years old with horrible, horrible breakouts! I finally visited the dermatologist, & they told me to try Acanya and Solodyn. I've used it for a day now, and my skin is already starting to clear up! I'm excited to get farther into the process and see how it helps my breakouts.  No side effects so far!"


"Fentora gave me my life back! But it is very hard to get it covered. They do, however, offer a coupon program for those who can't. Our cost out of pocket was going to be just about $5,000 per month. Insane! Thankfully my pharmacist told me about the coupon program. This brought our co-pay to $5 per month!
I have been on Fentora for years now. Probably 5-7 years. I've been through 3 insurance companies. I've always gotten my Fentora, after long battles.

The only negatives to Fentora are: 1) if your mouth is too wet it will dissolve almost instantly and it won't give you the same help so I try to dry my mouth out first.
2) if you put them in the same spot you will get sores
3) hard to cut in half; they disintegrate
Otherwise, miracle med"


"I'm using Yasmin as a Birth control but also to treat acne and PMS symptoms. Let me tell you, Yasmin is awesome!
-I've just finished 1 cycle of Yasmin and all my acne and pimples have disappeared, now my skin is very clear and even somewhat glows.

-All my PMS symptoms have subsided, no more cramps and period pain (you hardly feel that you're on your period because it is so light), period comes very much on time.

- I used to get occasional mood swings before, during and after my periods but I haven't been in bad mood this entire month. Yasmin really helped with my mood swing.

I highly recommend Yasmin."


"I had this for 4 months and gained 20lbs no matter what I've done I haven't been able to lose the weight. Getting this birth control was the worst mistake of my life. Every birth control I've ever had and if I've gained weight it always went back down its been 5 months and I haven't lost a lb. I got it removed immediately. I wouldn't recommend this to people I know."


"I'm getting invega, serious side effects in libido (Im a male), sexual dysfunction, gained 30 kg plus, I can't do sports due to muscle stiffness, and killed all thoughts out of my head, barely can hold a job. No emotions also, I'm an hollow empty shell, a zombie. Can't get drunk. Took my life away.
But to say something good, it helped with delusions. I think it is too much price for it."


"I've been on this pill for 3 months now. Dr. switched me to it because I have endometriosis and the original birth control I was on (Loestrin) wasn't helping my symptoms. I've been symptom free for 2 months now.

I've had no nausea or weight gain. I have been breaking out but considering the symptoms I had with the endometriosis I'll take a little acne if it means my pain is gone. Periods have gotten much lighter and shorter. So far so good!"


"took one 25mg to help me sleep however the next day I felt awful like id been drugged just couldn't wake up this lasted all day.i wont be taking them again .my wife on the other hand takes them every night with no problems"

"I'm on my first cycle.  I usually do not have problems with acne but with Quasense, have at least one pimple all the time.  When one clears, another one shows up.  I'm currently in the week with inactive pills and have noticed no new pimples this week.  Also, the first month and a half was okay, but then started spotting everyday that lasted until my period came during the inactive pills, so continuous spotting for 6 weeks.  Will try Trinessa next.  "


"I had the Paragard in for 10 years. Only real side effect was heavy bleeding and bloating. However, insertion was painful. When I went to remove it as I was sick of the heavy bleeding and it had been 10 years, part of the IUD broke in my uterus (apparently it was embedded). Had to get a hysteroscopy where they go into your uterus and find the broken piece and taken out. Absolutely not a nice experience (painful and generally unpleasant). Even though I did not get pregnant on Paragard, had I known that this could've broken off, I would have never, ever gotten it."


"I am 60 yrs old. I have been on Androgel for just almost 3 weeks. I went to my doctor in September sharing that I have no energy sex desire for years, and felt worthless. My doctor did numerous blood test including on for testosterone. It came back at 140. I had no idea there was a problem. My doctor suggested the shots every two weeks  but said that they can wear off well before my next visit. Suggested Androgel 0.5 in a pump rubbed on daily. It works. I haven't felt this good and full of energy in 15 to 20 years. The only side effect I have experienced at this point is that my testicles, which were the size of Advocado seeds, are now about the size of pistachios and are a bit tender at times. I follow the directions exactly and apply after shower."


"After the donation of a kidney, I have been plagued with a wide variety of non-specified gastrointestinal issues.  The most pressing was a severe problem with vomiting and retching, once I started I couldn't stop.  My abdominal pain was off the charts, and the only thing that would work at that point was a pain shot to quiet things down.  Once I started taking the Bentyl, it's really changed my life for the better."


"Side effects, mild, but tired. Take a lot of short naps. DRINK WATER. Be careful of OTC drugs. AT 6 wks. bloodwork 15< undetected.  The week after I was done meds, Not detected. This site has Drug interactions list. The reviews were helpful. Hoping next bloodwork will be good."


"After severe bouts of anger and depression I turned to my physician and a therapist.  My physician put me on Citalopram and when my mind started to clear I was in shock at what I had been living in for many years.  My therapist helped me to define where I was and what I needed to do to move forward.  I am now afraid to be without Citalopram as I never want to return to my old state of mind."


"I'm very pleased with Celebrex for the neck and knee pain caused by my osteoarthritis. I have no pain on climbing up and down the stairs (relief began after only several days). I not only have no neck pain, but also a dramatically increased range of motion...which makes it much safer for me to change lanes when I'm driving. The one problem I have is that I must take the medication after eating, otherwise tummy tenderness may occur."


"I was in the hospital and the nurse gave me this medication and it woked really good I have used day quill ibuprofen and many more medication and Motrin worked the best"


"Big help for vulvodynia."


"I have always been thin my whole life & tried everything to gain weight i hate skinny jokes still at the age of 31 & you would think 5 kids wouldnof gavr me some weight smh no so i ask my doctor to prescribe me something so far i been using them for 2 weeks now and I've went from 100 to 112. I suppose to take one at bedtime but I take them 2/3 times a day and it literally increases my appetite which I barely had before. Like I'm hungry all the time especially when I wake up in the morning and after dinner its a must for a late night snack/ mini meal... I'm really satisfied with my results my only complaint would be the sleeping so much I had to start taking half and half of the 4mg because they knock you out for hoursss. Hope this helps :-)"


"I never had a major sweat problem, but when it gets hot outside, I immediately get a moisture under my arms and my bacteria combined with my mild perspiration, makes the most pungent odor.  This product has stopped that from happening.  I couldn't go through another summer of dealing with this. It beats doing Botox injections or surgically having my sweat glands removed.  Easy fix!"


"This is my 3rd review. Just had my A1C checked at my 3 month visit. Started this med with an 8.4 in 3 months it's down to 6.2. This drug has been the only thing that has worked for me in the past 10 yrs.  I've been on so many diabetic meds. Last year my a1c was 10.2 got it to 8.4 with farxiga. Since my last weigh in at the dr. I actually had lost 10 pounds. Started this med at 184 now im 174. Still took 3 months to lose 10 pounds. Thats better than a gain though. My only remaining side effects are knots under the skin at injection site. They somethings itch really bad too. Other than that ive adjusted really well."


"After years of disc/nerve pain, I have been on these tablets for around 3 months and the pain has reduced considerably and I sleep much better too. I have been taking 25mg, but have now upped the dose to 50mg and it appears to be working even better. Fingers crossed."


Anemia Associated with Chronic Renal Failure

"Has helped me."


"I had this implant put in last August so it has been almost a year. It really intensified my depression the first few months, but I am fine now. For the first few months, I had regular periods. But since March of this year, I've been on my period non-stop. My doctor recommended that I get it removed. It also has made my acne worse. It is really bad on my chin and jawline now, which were not problem areas before. I guess the only good side is that I haven't got pregnant with the implant in. But the effects are awful."


"After two months I am still nauseous all day after taking the medicine. I've lost 30 lbs and when I tried to donate blood to hit the ten gallon lifetime, my iron levels were very low. Have never had a problem with my iron levels."


"Took Mucinex at 5 in the afternoon. Around 8 took my night meds, Next morning stumbling around, Body felt like it was flooded with heat-chest and arm pains. Had myself checked out and was ok. Pulled up website to get complete list of medicines not to take it with and found my answer there. If you have access to the internet I would put the OTC medicine in and get a complete list of what not to take it with."


"Talk about induced anxiety!!! I have NEVER felt so absolutely horrific as I did when using this medication.

My doctor prescribed it one week after shoulder surgery when I was having severe stomach problems and constipation.  I had already stopped taking percocet when I started taking it.  And when I still wasn't pooping.....you guessed it, Doctor prescribed ADDITIONAL dosage!  I was crying, in a state of panic, unable to sleep---I NEVER EVER want to feel this way again.

After reading up on it, you are not supposed to take Movantik if you are NOT TAKING OPIODS!!!!  Thank you for the medically induced anxiety horror show."


"I have had pain in my right testicle for years. I was put on flowmax and symptoms got quite better and unlike many others my ejaculations improve."


"No way waste of money, I'm puffy and burning and uncomfortable, I'll never use again so now I'm going back to 7 day treatment"


"So, I started  the patch late January and at first I felt terrible! Slowly, the terrible feeling went away and I started my first period with the patch. The cramps were so bad! I couldn't do anything for the first day because moving made the cramping stonger. Also, my bleeding went from 3 tampons a day too using 2 tampons every eight hours and still leaking. I tried working out and eating healthier because my doctor told me that could help. NOPE! My bleeding has slowly become even worst. The only good thing about the patch is I'm not pregnant!!"


"I have migraines that are hormonal in nature and Imitrex has saved me from days' worth of pain many a time. I also have a grade-school daughter and if I have a migraine, believe me, the entire family suffers. The pain from a migraine can last 3 days for me so having something that will knock it out in a matter of minutes is in my eyes, miraculous. It doesn't ALWAYS work, especially if I have cluster headaches, but 90% of the time, it works for me on one dose. If the first dose doesn't work, I take another and that usually just completely wipes it out. "


"Second day after first injection, woke up with the worst case of sour stomach I have ever experienced. Burps were out of control frequent and absolutely disgusting smelling and tasting. Made it to work only to vomit twice in 3 hours... almost messed myself in the process... diarrhea was also in full water effect. Thankfully I was able to leave early (within 1 hour of second episode). I hope these symptoms decrease dramatically and rapidly. Anyone else experience side effects this severe? I am literally unable to leave my bathroom's side. Can not even attempt to work or leave the house without fear of needing a new outfit. I took 1, 1.5 injection."


"I have back, shoulder, neck, & knee problems. I also have been diagnosed with severe migraine disorder. It is heredity and so painful that you basically can't do anything but lay in a dark room and pray it goes away. I have four boys 15, 10, 9, & 1 yrs old. I feel bad when I get in any kind of pain, because it stops everyday living. I have been on Lortab, Percocet, Vicodin, tramadol, Mobic, Cymbalta, Maxalt, Imitrex, & many more medications. I am now on Norco 325/10 & Soma. This works so much better than any of the other medications, even the stronger ones. I also take Fioricet for my migraines, after reading these reviews I see people take Norco for migraines which I didn't know. Maybe I'll talk to my doc about not taking Fioricet anymore."


"This medication saved my life!"


"Forgot to mention that I have had no adverse side effects that others have mentioned. I already have some nasal allergies so I was concerned about nasal congestion but it has not happened.  One downside is that I am always semi-hard; it never becomes entirely flaccid so I have to wear tight underwear so I don't form a tent."


"I am 34 year old female.. I am on Doxepin to help me sleep.. I have had SEVERE eczema for years- NOTHING helps except prednisone ( on that now all the time too) but I couldn't sleep due to constant scratching.. Slowly increased Doxepin until Im now at 100mg taken at night ( sometimes depending how tired I am I only take 50-75mg) but Its my miracle pill.. Puts me to sleep ( almost instantly) and 99% of the time im not tired or groggy in the morning... I have heard however-there is possibility of weight gain and thinning hair at which both possibilities would cause me to look for a different medication.."


"Before zolpidem, I used to take 3 Motrins and 3 Benadryls to fall asleep. I love it. Lunesta just was too expensive and didn't work for me as well.  Thanks for reading."


"I am on Ronexa 1000mg since 1 year now. I still have pain in chest and arm, plus serious constipation and terible memory Los it's short term memory loss I am talking.

Like going for glass of water from fridge and forget half the way why I walk upto there."


"I hate to share this for everyone but this pill did not work for me. We used a condom, it broke, took plan b about 8 hours later. Everyone reassured me I was fine but after I was about a week and half late I started to feel nauseas and I knew something was wrong. Took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I am currently 2 months pregnant!"


"I took the advice of another poster and bought a large volume enema and did a clean out first. My Dr. is OK with it, though says I don't need to. It sure makes hold it in much, much easier. I still sleep with a towel under me, but I don't leak if I do the enema first. I would say that if you have a hard time keeping it in (as I did) try the enema bag trick....You can get one at any drugstore. It sounds not fun, but its not that bad and it works!"


"I have been on this medication for two days and I have had a significant improvement in obsessive thoughts and my anxiety. I had insomnia last night, but I heard that subsides. I have tons of energy and want to go do things I had lost interest in doing. I don't know if this is just going to be in the beginning, but I have read it only gets better. I have a little nausea, but I have stomach problems as well so I'm used to it. I will put an update later on. I am going to stick this out!

update: two weeks on zoloft and my OCD going insane. going to up to 50mg tomorrow. will update."


"I wanna start by saying thank  you ladies for sharing your reviews , I have a rare blood disorder that cause me to bleed easy especially during my cycle , I've tryed many many different ones for years but Gildess seems to do the job my first month I spotted for about a week my next month was light and no cramps, just cravings now this is the third month it seems to have  changed the day I get my period I could tell because when it come the second month . The only complaints I have is I've been having severe cramping the closer to my period & weird sharp pains in my temples and a bit of soreness but nothing that's not manageable good luck ladies , oh and a bit of acne that's easy to manage works really good though"


"I've dealt with mild hormonal acne for the last 3 years. I've tried everything but nothing seemed to prevent my breakouts. My doctor prescribed tretinoin cream and after doing some online research I was terrified of "purging." Within a week of use I could tell that it was working. I had minimal redness and peeling. This drug has improved the overall tone of my skin also. It's been 3 months now and I haven't had any purging. This stuff is seriously amazing. My skin looks better then it has in years."


"I am 46 years old and have been on Saxenda since April 1. I started at 249 lbs. and am 212 today. I have to say that the shot works well but you also have to do your part. I have been lazy lately and not doing the treadmill the past few weeks and it shows on the scale. You really have to exercise each day and watch your foods constantly because until you change the way your brain feels about food, you are not going to change your stomach size. When we all get off the shot, we will all be tested for life! Doctor also recommends crunches each day because after you lose the weight you have to tighten the core to get rid of all that hanging flab. FUN FUN FUN"


"I took 2 Advil for 5 yrs to alleviate arthritis pain.  My hip/groin pain got so bad, I finally went to see a Doc.  He prescribed Celebrex..  It works GREAT for my hands.... but not my hip. Someone suggested taking Tylenol WITH the Celebrex -- MUCH better results. I take l,000 mg of Tylenol and 200 mg Celebrex, daily.  I hope by Summer the heat will help my arthritis and I can cut back on the Tylenol.  Celebrex is very expensive. I wish the results had been a lot better for me but as a professional pianist, I'm SO grateful that it works great on my hands."


"As soon as I feel a tingling on my lip I apply Abreva - have a tube at work, in car and at home.  In 5 yrs I have not had a cold sore break out if I apply Abreva in time.  LOVE THIS STUFF and would pay a lot more than the $20 cost - also HARMON has it for $15."


"I started taking Cymbalta about 6 months ago, and I'm finally starting to feel better. I have chronic lower back pain, and have previously been prescribed Hydrocodone/Tramadol, which basically was like putting a carrot on a string for my brain to be preoccupied. The only down fall I have experienced is the terrible night sweat. Is there any relieve from it?"


"I imagine death to be just like this. I had been taking medicine for an inner ear infection which had me constipated for 5 days and I was experiencing pain from the constipation. I didn't realize there was different kinds of laxatives, which is on me for sure! I took 2 pills at 7:30am because that's when I got off work and didn't have work til 4pm that day. They kicked in about 1030am and I was on and off the toilet until I had work. Sweating, burning and watery diarrhea, with cramps 81702037x worse than period cramps. I was okay for a little bit and then at 9pm the pain came back with a vengeance. Still going... cramping, hot and cold & pooping. I started crying I'm in so much pain. NEVER again. I'd rather be constipated!!"


"On  methotrexate for 20 years, no issues w/liver function.  Otezla worked much better, but ins. refused to cover it, back on metho.  Psoriasis since age 7, psoriatic arthritis since 40's.  Now 54.  Increased metho from 10mg/wk to 15/wk, pain and scaling more severe.  New patches around my eyes, lids are swollen, painful and itchy.  Eyes constantly dry, red, painful, itchy - might have psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis in them, going back to rheumatologist and an opthalmologist for help. OTC allergy eye drops, soothing drops and nightly administration of Vaseline in/around eyes not alleviating condition.  Very sore all over, sunny weather alleviates the patches and joint/tendon pain.  Can't wait to sunbathe!  No biologics, cancer scare."


"completely stopped vaginal dryness."


"Okay. So i just got my skyla put in yesterday

 (6-8-16) and i felt a little pinchy as it was inserted. He assured me it was normal and he walked through the process with me. Pain was about a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. The process took about 10 minutes if that and i was good to go. I had been reading for months about IUDs since this is my first form of BC other then condoms. After reading all these "horror stories" on IUD insertion i had my self siked out before i ever got in there. My doc reassured me once again its different for everyone. After the process was done i felt no cramping, no spotting nothing. After i left the clinic i went grocery shopping then came home and cleaned and still feel 100% fine. Curious to see how my body changes."


"Can't really tell if it is doing any good. It isn't like night and day. If it is helping, the effect is very subtle. Doesn't show any improvement on my oximeter (relative to non-use)."


"I am 32 and had issues with maintaining erections for some time due to anxiety from work and previous relationships. I met a beautiful woman and she has put up with it for nearly a year, its hard though because I knew I was letting her down which made it worse. I had 1 20mg Cialis tablet and 1 hour later, we had the best sex of our lives. It lasted for nearly 3 days, its a life changer."


"I have nevre damage due to spinal cord surgery.  I have tried several long term and short term pain medications and everything made me tired that I could not work while taking the medication.  The pain doctor then put me on Nucynta which I take at night and it works wonderful. I still take pain medication during the day for break thorough pain as I cannot take the Nucynta while I am working."


"Started this morning at 10am. Mixed COLD Suprep with COLD apple juice. Found a FAT straw, even bigger than a malt/shake straw and sucked it down. Took about 45 minutes to start working for me. Probably because I use Amitiza almost daily and especially the night before. The taste isn't awful, but it's not good. I think the apple juice helped. To me it seemed very sweet. It's now 9:30pm, no intake after midnight and my colonoscopy isn't until 11am tomorrow. Seriously, get a big straw, mix it with juice. Drink it COLD and quick. Chase it with your beverage of choice/whatever is allowed. Good Luck!"


"This birth control has made my life a living hell and I am hysterically crying as I write this. I had clear skin before this pill and now I don’t even want to leave the house my acne is so bad. My period lasts a month when it used to be bad at 8 days. My cramps have been even worse to the point where I have to scream into my pillow. I gave it some time but it’s tearing down my mental sanity too quickly so I cannot stay on it any longer."


"I have a rare sinusitis wich the infection is located on the middle of my head. I was prescribed levofloxacin 500mg for 3 weeks. I havent been able to sleep very well and loss of appetite (which is good in a way) and a very sore neck. On my 5th dose and not so much drainage and not much of a stuffy nose."


"Strattera helped my ADD very little and suppressed my appetite and I lost all ability to sleep even though I was always tired."


"Setraline has worked great for me!  I have been on it for 3 months and take it for anxiety, OCD, and depression.  The first 2-3 weeks were very hard as I feel I got every side effect listed.  Headaches, more anxiety, the works!  This is the second medication I have tried.  I took Lexapro for 3 months prior to Setraline, but it didn't help me much (actually caused more depression).  It took about 3-4 weeks for me to fully see the benefits of this drug, however it causes bluntness to my good feelings and extreme fatigue.  It is very hard for me to function like this as I am a mother of 3 and need that energy/motivation to get around and not just want to lay in bed all day.  I would rate it 7 with my OCD, 9 for anxiety and depression."


"i didnt get tired i felt energized not what i wanted at all"


"When I started having Brintellix 10mg, nausea and itching nearly made me discontinue, but as my doc added Atarax 25mg (hydroxyzine) those nasty side effects disappeared completely. I think I am pretty satisfied with the drug, since I can tolerate it better than SSRI's or SNRI's, only minus is the higher cost compared to the older drugs."


"I was taking Ambien 12mg, which in my opinion is the best sleeping pill on the market right now. I heard about Lunesta and I decided to give a try. My Doctor prescribe the 2mg. Hours passed by and I'm still waiting for it to kick in. Nothing. I made a huge mistake by changing from Ambient for  Lunesta. Now I have to wait for a month to go back to Ambient. If you're thinking of switching or trying Lunesta. Don't even bother. I guarantee you Ambient is the best option"


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"This medication is absolutely terrible.  I was given the generic, Rajani, and for the last three months my face is completely broken out.  It hasn't handled my PMDD and I've had breakthrough bleeding.  This is medication is the worst and my skin is so bad I'm embarrassed to go out in public."


"This medication is very effective for my lower back pain. Been taking it for 7 years and not increased my dose from 60mg daily."


"this pill has been giving me the blues. Since starting I've had constant yeast infections & bv. Increased hunger nausea and severe bloating. Only thing it does efficiently is prevent pregnancy & btw. I haven't seen my period in 3 months. Feeling terrible "


"I began using Incruse Ellipta after my Medicare Advantage plan discontinued coverage for Spiriva, which I had used successfully for a couple of years. The biggest problem I encountered was the horrid, bitter taste of the Incruse. At first I thought perhaps I had received an outdated inhaler, but my first refill had the same awful taste. I developed thrush and had to be treated for that. After six weeks on the Incruse Ellipta, I and my Immunologist applied for and were granted an exception for me to return to using Spiriva."


"I've been taking montelukast for about a month for asthma and it hasn't changed a thing!"


"I've been on it for about 7 years and my PSA has never been above .5. No side effects."


"I have been on it for one week and lost 10lbs so far along with doing weight watchers, I have had no side effects love this drug it has also cut my cravings out!!! I have started taking 4 pills a day very excited to see if I continue to loose weight!!!"


"I take Valtrex for suppressive therapy. My daily life is so much more manageable emotionally and physically since taking Valtrex as a suppressive treatment. For those who suffer with this virus, you will understand how our lows are very low when experiencing regular outbreaks. Valtrex allows my condition to be a minor inconvenience and no longer a dark lonely place. I now experience an outbreak twice yearly."


"NatureThroid seriously changed my life! I did so terrible on Synthroid; I was gaining weight despite the fact that I was working out and eating well, loosing my hair, major brain fog and headaches with aura and joint pain.  I feel awesome on NatureThroid and am loosing weight even."


"I have been taking Savella for 2 years now.  It really helps relieve my fibro pain.  I was extremely reluctant at first because of the price.  My Dr. insisted I take it and I thought it wasn't helping at all, but I continued to take it anyway because I was desperate for relief.  There was a week I forgot to put it in my weekly pill boxes.  My body was in SO MUCH PAIN!!  When I discovered that I had forgotten it, only then, did I realize how much it helped.  I am thin, it doesn't cause me weight gain.  I now am back to working full time and am productive again.  Stay strong and keep pushing fellow fibro sufferers. ❤❤"


"Was working fine until I started getting racing suicidal thoughts out of the blue. Switched to a sleeping aid and it seemed to work just as fine and was a lot cheaper."


"Works good but really causes sinus congestion for me. I guess there is always a price to pay."


"Today I got a root canal and wisdom tooth pulled, my mouth was throbbing! I took my Tylenol 3 like 20mins ago and the pain is gone."


"I was SO nervous to get the Skyla in. I was shaking. I got it in on my third day of my cycle because my doctor it was easier. BARELY FELT ANYTHING. It wasn't even painful, just a little uncomfortable. The "worst" part of it was the clamp, it felt like a pinch. But I was familiar with the clamp because I've had 2 papsmears before. Don't let the bad reviews scare you. I would do it 10x over. I was able to drive myself home, no horrible cramping, etc. I'm 5'9" and 125 pounds."


"I have been on this pill for over 5 years. The first ~6 months were difficult (I had to take it with food or I'd get nauseous, certain times of the cycle it made me extremely tired, moody, etc). The longer I stayed on it, the more those symptoms subsided- so I encourage anyone struggling with it to hold out because it will likely improve. I also learned that you have to take it at the EXACT same time every day or the side effects are worse. The past few years I have had no problems with it at all."


"I bled for 3 months straight on the Nexplanon. I asked my doctor to remove it several times and she kept urging me to wait a little while longer. Several weeks later my bleeding stopped. Two weeks later it started again with heavy bleeding and cramping. Not liking it."


"I am Type 1 diabetes with food issues. My weight has increased yearly to 50 lbs overweight and recently my insulin requirements were increasing rapidly and still no control over blood sugar. I have been on Victoza for just over a week and have had fantastic results pretty much immediately. I am slowly increasing dose to avoid side effects and it is working. My appetite is gone and food doesn't have any control over me. I lost 5 lbs in a week and blood sugar is great! I've also noticed another benefit - I used to drink alcohol most days and I have no desire to drink. I feel great and would say the only side effect I am having is a slight difficulty in urinating - it takes longer to empty my bladder. I love this medicine!"


"Last year I went to the hospital for my cramps and heavy bleeding and that's when the doctor prescribed me birth control. The first birth control I used was YAZ. YAZ got me moody, I was gaining weight in the first month and was on my period everyday. The ads on TV scared my dad and told me I had to change. That's when the doctor prescribed Loestrin. I LOVE LOESTRIN! I lost weight on the pill, not moody, and I HAVE SLIM TO NONE PERIOD. I'm on the brown pill now and I'm not on my period (just a little spotting). Everybody is different so you got to find what's best for you and Loestrin was GREAT for me.!"


"I absolutely love the nuva ring and have been using it for one year. I did notice slight mood changes at first, but my moodiness eventually went away. My doctor taught me a great tip for inserting it. If you use a tampon applicator (minus the tampon and replace with the ring) to insert, it works great! It has never fallen out during sex. However, it has to be the plastic kind. Definitely noticed an improvement in my skin as well!"


"Gabapentin tends to dull the sharp pains of peripheral neuropathy, but it doesn't actually get rid of pain. That said, the more generalized sensation can make it easier to do ADL tasks  as needed, since you *might* be able to feel other things in the same area as the neuropathic pain. That said, mine is related to MS... on bad days, it seems the Gabapentin does nothing at all."


"After a motorcycle wreck 2 years ago I was on Hydrocodone 10mg, then 2x 7.5mg per dose, then 3x 10mg, then 20mg OxyCodone, then Roxicodone (30mg oxy) then OxyCotin 30mg with 10mg oxycodone for break through. Finally 2 months ago I was put on 10mg ER (twice daily) with 5mg for break through pain (up to 4 times a day) and I feel fantastic! The oxycodone made me forget about the pain but did nothing for the pain, the Opana actually relieves the pain. I don't hurt anymore! I love being pain free and not high. Though I do miss being high sometimes and you really CAN NOT drink on this. It does it the Respiratory system harder then many others."


"Took Prozac for about four years.  It worked in relieving my depression, anger, and anxiety, but left me numb as well.  Had almost no "lows" but no "highs" either.  I had no side effects other than I now realize a reduced sex drive."


"No problem, never really felt high or speedy. When I didn't take it I was very disorganized and couldn't focus. I find that when it is out of my system after 12 hours I am extremely tired. I take trazone 50 mg. for sleep also really hard to get going in the morning. After the vyvanse kicks in I'm ok at about 8 after taking it at 6am. I do take xanax 1 mg. with it."


"This pill was not a fit for me at all. They told me it would take up to 3 months to regulate me and I took it for 9 months and never became regular. I have always been to the day with my cycle but I never got my period back after nursing my second for a year. This pill made me bleed every two weeks and sometimes once a month. It was all over the place. I got migraines and had major mood swings. I said goodbye to it."


"Its not helping me,"


"I started taking birth control for acne a month ago and felt as if my anxiety had only gotten worse. After talking to my doctor she recommended I try a low dose of Zoloft. I've been on the medication for a week and have had 2 panic attacks. One yesterday as my plane was taking off. The most embarrassing experience ever! The flight attendants had to get me a bag to throw up in and had ice over the back of my neck. Today I am feeling exhausted and with down. I have read there are serious side effects within the first 2 weeks of taking this medication so I'm hoping I start to feel better. I am def. cutting out any coffee, energy drinks or alcohol."


"I have been taking this medicine for about 6 months. I had good results in the beginning losing about 20 pounds within the first 4 months. Then I notice towards the 6th month, the medicine wasn't curbing my appetite. So my Dr. suggest that I increase my dose to 15mg. I took 4 doses of the 15 mg , ( 1 dose daily for 4 days) The fourth day I started to have severe eye pain and redness in my eye. I went to see an ophthalmologist and was diagnosed with glaucoma. The topamax in this medicine causes glaucoma, so I would advise everybody taking this medicine to be careful."


"Only on week 1 of this med, but I CANNOT believe the change in my mood. I am taking this to treat bipolar 2, anxiety and poor sleep quality. I take 50mg at night and sleep like a baby. Make sure to get 8-10 hours of sleep/night and you won't feel drowsy the next morning. It's eliminated my anxiety entirely and I feel completely stabilized. I haven't had any trouble with weight gain; in fact, I've already lost a few lbs, due to the fact that I no longer feel emotionally-driven to binge eat. No side effects as far as I can tell. An ABSOLUTE MIRACLE DRUG. Just praying the results hold up."


"Had to stop taking due to blurred vision; and large lumps on injection site"


"I'm use to norco 10/325 and I take four a day due to my job and major back problems.  I switched to hyslinga er 40 once a day and it hasn't helped at all. I'm still in pain as I lay here and I haven't even noticed anything from the medication it's like tylenol  or something. Ur better off with almost anything else good luck to others."


"I am 21 years old, I was first put on microgestion at the age of 15, my freshmen year of high school because my anxiety was so bad. When I graduated high school 4 years later I tried another pill- made me gain weight, Nuva ring made me nauseous every single day for 3 months, then another pill. Then I figured I'd just go for the IUD. Worst decision I ever made. Getting it inserted was the most painful thing I've ever experienced and for 3 days after I literally had "labor pains" I stayed with it for 6 months and completely lost my sex drive and when I got it removed I had my period for 3 weeks. I went back to microgestion last week and it's the best decision for me and I've never had a single problem or scare. I love it!"


"I took both Serzone (brand) and Nefazodone.  I had no liver problems, no problems or side effects.  My MDD was humming along just fine. I also have mild generalized anxiety disorder,  fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Migraines.  I believed a psychiatrist when he told me that (paraphrasing) when the Fibromyalgia got better the Depression, CFIDS, etc. would improve."


"This medicine is AMAZING. I woke up with the tingling feeling Wednesday morning by the afternoon it started taking its course. I picked up Denavir from the pharmacy that afternoon and started applying every two hours like it recommends. It has kept the cold sore at an absolute minimum. It hasn't even developed fully and I think it's already on its way out. 3 days! AMAZING! Its super expensive if you don't have insurance but if you do get this."


"I have suffered from severe depression and social anxiety for years. After 3 days on Celexa my world felt completely different. Everything feels right again and for the first time in ages I feel happy. The only side effect I have encountered is random bouts of fatigue but I have been told it will balance out after a few weeks. This medicine is incredible and I can't believe it took me so long to admit I needed it."


"The only reason I would rate this a 5 is because it has prevented pregnancy, but since I started Gianvi 6 months ago I have been depressed, irritable, angry, unmotivated, and absolutely NO SEX DRIVE.  This may be why this pill works so well."


"For me I had regular periods but quite heavy and sometimes last a few days more after my period pills were done. I gained weight and in the beginning I had major mood swings. Felt depressed and increased appetite. I also get more yeast infections when I never had them before."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Read these reviews ...  "I will be fine.  These things won't happen to me ...". Horrible tasting !  Got 1st bottle down.  Put some lemon juice I. It.  Boy, you had better be agile, after u take this.  Took an hour to start, but THEN .. hardly any warning and then run to bathroom. This is way it continued for 1.5 hr and then pretty much let up, so I guess that part good.  And after 1 bottle it was 90% good.  Managed to get 1/2 bottle down in morn. BUT, could just not do any more ..YUCK "


"It is great. I take 350mg and only when I need it. I haven't felt like I could be addicted. Just relaxes the muscles and lets me sleep!"


"I used this drug after surgery because of uncontrolled bleeding.  I was going thru a super tampon every 1 or 2 hours for 2.5 days.  After taking 10mg of norethindrone, my bleeding subsided in 8 hours and went back to a 'normal' period and has since completely stopped.

If you take norethindrone long term, you may have breakthrough bleeding almost constantly....I had this happen after 3 months of 10mg x day (as endo treatment), it cleared up about 2 weeks after I went off of the norethindrone and back on regular birth control.

If you are having heavy or uncontrolled bleeding, I recommend giving norethindrone a try for, it's supposed to work within 24 to 48 hours for heavy bleeding."


"I have been taking the pill for about 5 months and I've noticed a few things. PROS: I haven't gotten pregnant!! My periods are 4 days on the dot and I don't have any acne or cramping. CONS: I've always cried easily but now I cry at least once a day if not more. I am irritable and can get extremely angry very easily and I used to be a very easy going person. My period doesn't start until my 3rd or 4th placebo pill. I get nauseated in cars if I am not the driver. I crave weird food that I never usually eat and I'm exhausted all the time."


"Geodon for a month now; ZERO weight loss from 6 years of Risperidal. Discouraged but won't give up. I'm crying more lately... which is just plain weird. I never cry. Still, no hallucinations; my mood is decent."


"Had a break down at age 15 and eventually got on Zyprexa. Like everybody else said I gained about 30-40 pounds, could be very sleepy sometimes, but it completely stopped the voices I was hearing for the past 8 months. It gave me my life back. Just kinda woke up feeling normal after being on the medicine for a few days. It was amazing. Was on 10mg at the highest and worked all the way down to 2.5mg over the next year. Had a prayer service at my church (Doctor was ok with us taking a trial run off medicines since I had been doing well on a low dose for the past few months) and now have been off meds and completely fine for over 10 years now. Very thankful. "


"So this is the 3rd Mirena that I've had. I'm 23 and we have 3 children. Now I never had any issues with my first 2 mirena , but iIve noticed since I got my last one back in August 2016 after my 3rd baby that I've been having constant bleeding, horrible acne and my sex drive is out the window. It's like I can't even get a damn orgasm and trust me our sex was GREAT before this 3rd one.  My mood is just so ugly and I get so emotional sometimes ! Definitely going to get it removed!!!"


"I have been very grouchy and miserable since I started taking Savella."


"Works great.  Was experiencing adverse effects of low T and my doctor confirmed it.  He prescribed this to me as 2 pumps per leg per day.  At first it took about 45 minutes to absorb but now it takes about 5-10 minutes and goes on easily.  My wife now complains that my libido is too strong LOL.  I love this.  I hope you have similar experience as I do.  My insurance didn't want to cover the other popular brands.  The Pharmacy specialist in my insurance told me to go for this as they would cover it right off the bat.  Glad I spoke to them.  Just $20.00 per two bottle refills."


"I have been using for about 2 weeks now and can finally breathe through my nose again.  I have not been able to breathe properly on one side for several months.  Within 2-3 days I was breathing clearly again.  Great medicine!!  No side effects at all."


"Low self esteem, not wanting to leave the house, not being able to stay in a relationship because I was so self conscious and miserable, always walking with my head down, couldn't look people in the face, couldn't walk out the house without makeup (although it didn't cover the bumps). I cried almost everyday and hated my life.

It all changed in 5 months. I've never seen my face so clear. I'm finally getting my confidence back. Yes it did take some time for the results to fully kick in, but it did work for me and I'm so happy I finally went to the dermatologist after trying a million and one products that never worked; changed my entire diet and drank water and it never work. But Monodox along with Ziana gel definitely changed my life."


"I have been Taking Amitza for about a week and having a very limited bm every 3 days, I get terribly nauseated in about 20 minutes after taking it and last evening after dinner I became sick and vomited. My stomach is so bloated and hurts from the extreme pressure. I took the Linzess and at first it worked and after a month it stopped.I am not going to take this med tonight. I was taking 8 mcg 2x a day with meals. I might go back to Linzess and take with Miralax to see if that would work."


"I have been off this medication for 2 years now and I havent seen any acne. I look in the mirror and it surprised me how well it works"


"I have been on Hyzaar 100.25 for 2 months, and it has proven to be the most effective of all the other blood pressure medicines I have taken over the last 6 years. I also take a 10mg Norvasc with it every day. I have experienced no side effects. I love it."


"Lamictal has changed my life. I'm a diagnosed bipolar 1 and have had friends and family notice massive changes in my personality. I never knew life could be so happy and easy."


"I am 25 years old, 5'9 and WAS 186 pounds. I am a full-time student and makes me much less active than normal. I have done little exercise and have lost 15 pounds in 6 weeks! Medication is great, I don't even have to drink coffee, and I forget to eat because my appetite just disappears. Once the medication kicks in and makes me lose the cravings, it's also much easier to eat well when I'm not taking it. I have saved hundreds of dollars on impulse food alone! My doctor was reluctant to prescribe it because he treats a lot of people who are much older, and SEVERELY obese, and by comparison I didn't have much of a problem. I wanted to feel healthier and reach my goal of being 150lbs, and I am very healthy to begin with so why not?"


"I'm on my fourth day of using the Prevpac for H. pylori infection which was discovered during a medical procedure (colonoscopy and endoscopy). I was experiencing stomach discomfort (throbbing alternating aches from left to right) which prompted me to have these procedures.  Day one: I felt tired and experienced severe stomach pain including bloating, but it (stomach pain) eventually subsided. Day two: minor stomach pain and little bloating. Day three: I did not experience any pain but I had the metallic taste and felt fatigued. I have noticed that my bowels are larger (sorry for the extra information) than normal. Details to take into consideration: Female and a minority"


"It works just fine for constipation I took it 3 times before in the past but the 4th time I took it which was a couple years ago my blood pressure dropped really low 81/48 felt tired all day not wanting to do anything would not recommend if you are on blood pressure medication too check with your doctor"


"Feeling dizzy , severe head-ache"


"I have been on Amitriptyline 50 mg at night for 3 weeks and my pain has subsided a little.  I have rheumatoid arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Osteoarthritis and Fibromyalgia so I have been living in chronic pain for many years.  I am also on Prednisone 9 mgs daily, which my Rheumatologist is tapering me off of slowly. I also am on Hydrocodone 10 mgs, 2 tablets 4 times daily. My doctor just increased the Amitriptyline to 100 mgs at night.  I will share my experience with this dose in another 3 weeks or so."


"I was prescribed Aubra through planned parenthood and I've been on it for about 2 months. I love it so far, I don't feel any symptoms and no weight gain. I was previously on the depo and I HATED it!! I gained about 25 lbs in less than a year. Birth control is different for everyone so I didn't know what to expect. I'm hoping this stays this way!"


"My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago (she's 13 now) and was on Adderall XR 25 mg for a few years. She was never hungry and had a hard time sleeping. We switched her to Adzenys XR 12.5 (lower than her Adderall dose equivalent). It doesn't seem to last as long -- but then again it's not as strong. The good thing is her appetite is back and she doesn't have trouble sleeping. She also doesn't complain about not feeling like herself (she is usually a pretty happy kid, but complained the Adderall made her withdrawn). She's doing fairly good in school, though she has some learning challenges in some areas. Although she's only been on it a few months, I am relatively happy with the results."


"I had foot surgery in 09' . This was my very first surgery ever. I had never been put to sleep my entire life. I was given Diprivan (propofol) as the anesthetic. I would have to say that if I ever needed another surgery, I would request this anesthesia. It was wonderful. I remember absolutely nothing about the surgery at all and it felt like it took like 2 minutes. However, I remember the anesthetist saying one of the side effects was I was going to feel rushed or in a hurry when I woke up. I had the complete opposite effect. I was nice and comfy in my wheelchair, and wasn't planning on leaving any time soon apparently. I was in a very happy place. I would recommend this to anyone very apprehensive or nervous about any kind of surgery."

"I have been on Loestrin Fe 24 for about 6 years and recently decided to stop because they were very expensive and I felt bloated all the time. My breasts were always sore and felt swollen. I gained about 10 pounds even though I didn't change my diet. I found that I was hungry all the time, even after I just ate. I craved sugary snacks like cookies and chocolate as if I was addicted. Since stopping, (about 3 weeks ago) I no longer feel bloated. In fact I lost some weight. Probably water but I still feel so much lighter. My breasts no longer hurt. In fact they have come down to my original size. My clothes fit better and I no longer get mood swings. This pill seems to work great for a lot of people and that is great but for me it was a nightmare. I have so much more energy now and feel more like myself. "


"Had low testosterone. I was in a car accident and had a head injury. This caused my pituitary gland to stop working and shrank from the pressure in my brain. I didn't want a patch. I inject every 2 weeks and it works great. It's much cheaper, nobody has to know unless you tell them and it takes 5 minutes every 2 weeks. What could be easier."


"I used the original Epiduo all through 4 years of high school and in combination with a generic triphasic birth control pill and Neutrogena salicylic acid face wash, I completely cleared my terrible, depressing cystic acne. After high school I switched birth control and got the acne again, so I went back to my high school routine and it was better, but not as perfect. I tried the new Forte version and I'm clear as can be again at 21.  It has always made my face redder than my body, but I have no problem tolerating that for otherwise PERFECTLY CLEAR skin. It's only noticably red at night when it's on anyway. I've tried all the other top treatments dermatologists recommend, but this one changed my life. Just give it a chance."


"I have/had severe OCD.  I have been on citalopram, Zoloft and Prozac.  I was started on 150mg Anafranil and within what seemed no time at all my OCD disappeared.  Prozac did work for OCD but not on clinical depression.  I am now on 200mg.  I have had no weight gain (nor did I have on SSRIs).  I get a dry mouth sometimes but counteract this with a anti dry mouth toothpaste."


"I have been severely bipolar since I can remember. My emotions controlled me instead of the other way around my whole life. It's tough to convey my struggles in a short quip. I am on 20mg of Lexapro and for the first time in my life (34 yrs) I feel normal. I take it before bed with Unisom. My life has changed drastically in one month. I went from drinking and drugs 2-4 times a week to waking up at 7 and keeping a schedule. I notice and feel a huge difference in my thoughts, not racing. I noticed that symptom gone immediately. Mood swings, gone. Depression, still shows itself but more moments of peace and clarity. I am a happy gal."


"I've only had the implant for 4 months and have booked an appointment in 3 weeks to get it removed.

I've experienced weight gain, I feel so depressed, my mood swings are all over the place, I have no energy at all, almost constantly bleeding, although it's only spotting and I haven't experienced a heavy period I'd much rather just a regular monthly period.

Just counting down the days to get this removed, didn't work for my body at all."


"I wanted so badly to stay on this medication but after the second day I had to stop it.  I had muscle aches, tired, and was still hungry.   I also have tinnitus and it made it the noise in my ears so bad that I couldn't stand it.   I stopped taking it and wondering if any of these symptoms subside as time goes on."


"Always gets rid of the migraine."


"I took the Suprep at 6:00 p.m. The taste was unpleasant but avoidable. I found that pinching my nose, closing my eyes, and chasing the drink with gatorade cut the aftertaste completely. I was a bit nauseated for the first 15 minutes and had my first bowel movement in the first 20. I did not eat for 48 hours before taking this and drank plenty of water in preparation. I took my second dose again at 9. This time, I was on the toilet more frequently. It took me two drinks to get it down. Overall, I dreaded this experience and it was no where near as awful as I had foreseen! My first colonoscopy is tomorrow and I've heard that the prep is the worst part. It's 1:15 a.m.. and I'm still having bowel movements but they're clear!"


"I have had PTSD for many years, tried zoloft 200mg, seroquel 700mg, lexam 20mg and now pristiq 200mg. It is working although I lack motivation, but it is slowly returning. I can state categorically that pristiq does not mix with alcohol. If you take meds that affect the brain so deeply, alcohol will screw up the process for days.  I wish you all wellness on your journey to betterment.  Be kind to yourself, accept help and take care."


"I had severe acne in my late teens through my early twenties.  I took Accutane in the early 90's after other treatments and it was a wonder drug in my case. I still remember the feeling of my pores beginning to functioning properly and the irritating pimples going away from my back and neck. However, as others have warned, the side effects are real and not exaggerated."


"I have been on Contrave for 8 months now and have lost 65 lbs. The first month was rough with constipation and dizzy feelings but I noticed right away I wasn't eating as much as I was. I lost 8 lbs the first month, literally changing nothing about my routine. The next month I started watching what I ate and started walking and lost 12 more lbs. Then the weight loss slows down!!!! You will not lose all your weight on this pill by sitting on the couch only eating half the bag of chips!! I have hit several plateaus. Then I changed the work out I was doing or the amount of food I was eating. You do get used to being on this pill but it won't give you a free pass to eat more or eat badly. The only way to do this is to make a life style change!"


"The patches work great. No itching or other side effects to my skin. Only downfall to the product is the patches are not waterproof & come off after being exposed to water.  Plus even after washing my skin with alcohol, I still need to put tape over the patch to keep on for the day. Great product otherwise."


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


"my period hasn't stopped for 5 months"


"Wonderful medicine. I was extremely sick, went 20 times to the bathroom in 8 to 9 hours, was really sick, finally gave in to start this medicine with the rest I had been taking. Within 5 hours everything slowed down. I felt like a new person. But sad to say it was short lived. I started reacting 2 to three days in and the reactions got worse. Had to stop taking it."


"I take 2 to 6 in the evening to settle down and be able to watch some T.V with my husband. I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, which I take two kinds of medicines to keep under 140/82."


"At age 55 I fell off the roof and I had pain in my tail bone. Nothing showed on X-ray, CAT scan, MRI'S either. So I was given hydrocodone and tylenol 3, a pat on the head and was basically told to suffer.  Surgery was denied, I was in so much pain I didn't care. All the medical society abandoned me. So one day I said good by and took all the pills I could find and tried to commit suicide. Didn't work, sent to psyc. ward and started on buprenorphine. What a God send. I have been mostly pain free for 6 years. Yea I'm 'hooked' but I am so blessed for it. ps. I am also 'hooked' on insulin. Dependent not addicted."


"Have been on topamax for migraine prevention for many years now. Have not had side effects from it. 100 lbs 5 ft. Works up to now for me! Love it!"


"I've been on Apri for a week and a half and have had very bad crying spells out of no where and depression. I have to use the bathroom every like 30 minutes. And my acne has gotten worse."


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


"Carbatrol has helped me tremendously. I have been taking it for about 12 years. All I can say is Thanks Carbatrol!"


"I started taking phenterine 37.5 mg on April 13th, today is April 22nd.  I have successfully lost 7.5lbs in 9 days.  I love this medicine and diet that goes with it, it really suppresses my appetite to where i can make very healthy choices."


"I have taken this drug since it came on the market. I was taking Norvasc 5 mg and Lipitor 10 mg.  But, when my cardiologist upped the Norvasc portion to 10 mg (Caduet 10/80) I experienced a lot of edema in my ankles and feet, that did not happen with the 5 mg Norvasc.  "


"I started Sinemet 25/100mg and within 2 hrs my tremor stopped. I still get some but not as bad as before. My walking also improved."


"I've taken plan B in the past. Always worked! Minimal side effects . Well not this time. I had unprotected sex and the guy ejeculated in me. I was on the pill but wasn't taking it at the same time everyday. I took the plan be 24 hours after sex. The first 6 days I experienced a DRASTIC change in my emotional state. I felt sad and depressed every day! It was hard to be my usual cheery self! If felt like a cloud over my head that I couldn't get rid of. By the 7th day.I woke up to pain in my lower stomach and cramping in my back . I wanted to vomit and did several times with hot flashes and chills right after. Soon after my period started but the cramps and sick feeling did not go away! I was in bed all day. It works but can make you sick !!"


"I've been on zoloft for about a year, at 25mg. But I've recently developed panic disorder can't seem to handle the side effects of going up.
I believe I'm not even at the optimal dose yet.
My doc perscribed me effexor XR and I'm on day one of taking that and I feel completely emotionless.
I'm going back go zoloft tomorrow because initially it worked for depression  and anxiety.
Everyone is different, but I've tried citalopram, etsicitalopram, and now effexor and they all make me feel numb and like a zombie.
Zoloft all the way.
My doc won't prescribe me benzos and I feel that zoloft will be great with xanax! Going back to the doctors next week to tell them to shove the effexor and I'm staying in zoloft."


"This will be my first colonoscopy.  I used many hints from the reviews here.  I chilled the solution and mixed it with part water and part 7Up.  It tasted like salty cherry soda.  I divided it into three cups and used a large straw.  I sucked on a lemon slice between each drink.  I then drank all the extra water in a short time.  It does work very fast.  I started at 5:00pm and was done by 10:00pm.  I had no headache, chills, cramping or nausea.  The second round was no trouble either.  I am very glad I read reviews on here first."


"This medicine has good and bad points with me so far.  I agree with the others--it makes my tongue go numb for a while and tastes horrid.  The only side effect I experience (and I usually get the weird ones) is a slightly alarming drop in blood pressure.  I just follow instructions and sit and stand very slowly and carefully.  So far at 10mg 2 x day, it is doing a great job of controlling both mood swings and hallucinations."


"I've been taking Qsymia for 6 days now, and I feel the random tingling feeling and numbness, with that being said, I've lost about 4 pounds so far without changes to my lifestyle. Foods do taste different. Sodas taste like metal, rice and bread taste like cardboard, and anything other than a salad, lean grilled, broiled or steamed meats or fruits taste rather nasty.
One thing is for sure, AVOID ANY DRINK WITH ASPARTAME IN IT, it will give you a monster headache and really make the tingling numb feeling really noticeable. I thought I was going to die...my head and my eyes hurt so bad. Dropped the sparkling flavored water, and diet sodas, and feeling awesome. Will update in a few weeks with progress!"


"Day two of the preliminary 30mg and already I feel great."


"My a1c has been 8 on metformin and Januvia.

After 2 doses of janumet I went hypo. Feeling woozy and generally unwell.  BP 159/61.

Bad scene."


"Today (1/26/10)- I've been using Byetta for just over a month (started on 1/1/10). I've been on a good diet and have lost 2 to 3 pounds. My sugar numbers stay under 120 - usually in the 90-115 range. If I take another med such as glipizide (4mg or less), my blood level drops too far down (65 to 80).  I had to stop using any other meds with Byetta. Also, you need to check you blood sugar level a few times a day until you find a healthy balance.

 My goal is to loss 20 pounds. I've had no side effects from the Byetta except a bruised area where the needle goes."


"Caused moderate to severe pain in lower back, at times difficult moving/transferring position."


"I'm 19 and I've been taking Loestrin 24 Fe for about 4 years. When I started taking the birth control I did have some crappy side effects such as bloating, weight gain, and a lot of spotting to a flow like a regular period but it went away after 2 months of using it. I do only have my period every 2 to 3 months for a week, but it definitely beats having it every 3 to 4 months very heavily for almost the entire month.The only things I'm not all that happy about are the mood swings never went away, I do still have them, but I can control it and aren't nearly as crazy as they used to be. And recently my breasts sank about a cup size. I don't know if it's because of taking the birth control for so long or not."


"I was sober for three years and it was great.  During that time I got my bachelors degree, was promoted in the military, and lost 50 pounds.  Then out of nowhere I relapsed.  I kept drinking for about 11 months and realized I was spiralling out of control again.  Gaining weight, lost motivation, decreased work efficiency, staying in bed all day.  I went to my doctor and told him I wanted to quit and he prescribed me 25mg librium for four days.  First day 2 pills every six hours, second day 1 pill every six hours, third day 1 pill every 12 hours, last day 1 pill before bedtime.  I can't say these made me feel much better, maybe slightly, but what they did help me do was sleep AMEN...that is always the worst!  I've been sober for a week again!"


"15mg per night cleared my depression up almost straight away. Not so reliable for the main issue (insomnia); Sometimes it works straight away an I sleep for nine hours straight and feel fine the next day. Sometimes it just puts me into a half-asleep  trance in bed for a couple of hours and then I 'come to' and have to try and go to sleep all over again. Sometimes I feel incredibly sedated until the following afternoon. Sometimes I need half a zopiclone on top of this to nod off. Depression: 10/10. Insomnia: ??/10."


"I'm a 35-year-old woman and was on Lexapro 10mg from ages 21-30 and have been on 5mg for about 5 weeks now (staying at this dose) - both times for GAD without Depression and a touch of OCD.  For the most part, I managed fairly well while off it (exercise, limited alcohol, CBT therapy) but had periods where my anxiety would flare up. My advice would be to try it. I was very anxious about idea of going back on medication (i.e. Googling all the horrible side effects) but I'm feeling significantly calmer, less anxious, and happier.  I didn't think I needed medication...until I went back on medication (give it a few weeks) and felt the difference.  I had convinced myself I was "OK" but really, I was "white knuckling" through my anxiety."


"I love this pill. I just finished my first month and the reviews scared me but my life is exactly the same as it was before. Except, of course, I can have unprotected sex. Also, my period used to be such a heavy flow but the period I had this month was 3 days - the first and last were basically just spotting, and the middle day was a pretty light flow. I have noticed some mood swings around my period but nothing unmanageable. After the first few days on the pill the nausea was gone. No weight gain, no breast enlargement, no acne. I love it."


"I was given this drug to help with anxiety - it worked for the first week and then it stopped working. I continued to take it for one more week. I found I had 5 out of 7 of the side effects plus one they did not even mention in the paper work. I was constantly hungry and always had a burning feeling in the middle of my chest."


"Ladies and gentlemen I have been using Otezla for at lease 45 days, at first it was making me run to the bathroom all the time, gave me the runs. Then around a month into the drug I started experiencing headaches after every use. I stopped after about 45 days, I didn't want to be damaging my brain. And after all the symptoms no signs of clearing. Although I haven't had any arthritis. But not worth the headache, literally."


"I am on my third day of saxenda, the first day felt tired and very nauseous. Second and third day have no appetite whatsoever. I had a box of pizza in front of me and couldn't even finish one slice when before I would be eating no less than 4 slices. I have been eating in really small portions and can't possibly eat more then a few bites. All my cravings are gone. And find myself eating really slow trying to get food down.  I started at 0.6 and third day went up to 1.2 until I get to 6.0."


"I always get face blisters from wind-burn or mild sunburn. Abreva helps only if I use it at the time of the damage,  not wait til blisters appear.  It keeps them from spreading all over my face.  And that is terrible. I use it for regular fever blisters too.  I have to use it the night before the outbreak."


"Ok so I'm 21 just so everyone knows. I'm taking this medication for 7 days at 500mg twice a day. It's been pretty rough the first tablet I was so tired, sensitive to light, super sick, headache, chills that felt like a fever, sweating, no sleep. The second and third day all the crazy symptoms went away and now I'm seeing dark urine (which is gone if I drink more water than usual,) a horrible metallic taste in my mouth, no appetite, I'm super bloated (the kind that you can't suck in if you know what I mean it's almost like my stomach is swollen,) and I feel so nauseous it's awful. These are the symptoms I have right now and they're honestly awful I also still get cold at night. I'm on day 3 and I literally can't wait to finish this medication."


"I would NOT recommend taking this medication for longer than a few weeks for insomnia. It works amazingly well at first, but then, over the course of time, you will need to up the dosage to get the same result. Over time, you will find that the medication makes you groggy and can cause weight gain. Then, when you try to get off, it is very, very hard. I was only on 50mgs for 6 months, and it has taken 2 months for my sleep to occur naturally more than in 2 hour increments. Overall it made my insomnia worse."


"I have been on this for 6 days and I think this may be the miracle drug I was waiting for. I have had numerous eye surgeries, including corneal transplant after blindness. I have had severe dry eyes since my botched lasik procedure in 2001. I have had plugs, miboflow, lipoflow,   restasis, night ointment hot compass treatments everyday for 15 years. Everything has helped slightly at least manage my severe dry eye pain. However, just taking this drug for a few days seems to be life changing so far. I even stopped taking vicoden for last two days. I have taking at least two vicoden pills everyday for the past 15 years for eye pain. My eyes feel so good and my eye lids feel not inflamed for the first time I can remember. I pray this will last."


"I have an anxiety disorder called TTM.  Sometimes classified as an impulse disorder or OCD.  When I'm engaged in TTM behavior at night it sometimes drives me all night.  The clonidine is great at slowing me down in about 45 minutes and letting me drift off to sleep."


"I smoked for over 40 years. This is my 2nd time doing Chantix. The 1st time I was able to quit after the first week but really got nauseous. So nauseous I had to stop Chantix. I started smoking a few weeks later. I've tried everything before. Chantix really does take the craving away. I started Chantix again 28 days ago. I'm down to maybe 1 or 2 hits off a cig a day and to the point I will have my quit date by the weekend. I'm not picking a quit date, just going off my craving. Once I take a hit it taste so bad. I made my self overcome the nausea by having a full stomach and drinking liquids. It really helped. I'm determined to finally quit!!"


"I just started last week and I bumped up to 1.2 last night.   I have had some slight nausea.  I have headaches all the time so I wouldn't know if it caused them.  I haven't wanted to eat nearly as much or as often and I have a lot more energy. So far so good. I haven't lost any weight yet though.   Hopefully that will come."


"I would give this a score of 10 BUT being a VERY hard to find drug I had to give it a 9. I took this for 16 years but finally had to switch to keppra because of it becoming rare to find at pharmacies and having to skip doses and go without. Over all side effect wise I would rate it a solid 9"


"I have been on the Implanon a little over a year now. I have not had any periods besides a little spotting the first couple months. (Yay for not having to pay for tampons & chocolate!)  I love the fact of not having a period and not getting pregnant right now, but there are a few downsides to it. My downsides: I never had acne previously and I now have it really bad, i gained about 45 lbs, and I have horrible mood swings. It has its good and its bad to it, just be cautious of the side effects."


"I have been on many pain/anti-inflammatory medications to help with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Plantar Fasciitis and a torn tendon in my shoulder.  It is the fastest acting and most effective pain relief I have tried (comparing to Duexis, Hydrocodone, Prednisone, Tramadol).  It does not cause stomach upset like other NSAIDS and the only side effect is sleepiness but, a quick nap and pain is much better and no grogginess."


"This medication was very helpful in relieving the pain in my knees,
due to osteoarthritis.
Unfortunately, I developed serious stomach problems.
I am no longer taking this helpful medicine.
Too risky with the stomach problems. "


"I'm a 64 y.o. male who has had HCV1 for about 35 years. I have had my liver checked regularly at the VA hospital for the last few years and because its functions were good, was told to postpone treating it because better treatments were 'right around the corner.'

I have watched several friends, including my ex-wife, go through interferon treatment and every one experienced negative side effects.

Its administration was complicated and much longer than Zepatier's 1/day for 12 wks.

My viral load went from 8,000,000 to 43 in 6 weeks.

I have been drowsy and it has affected my mental state but only in a positive way. HCV's impact on our minds is variant and getting rid of it may take some adjustment. But it beats the hell out of cancer."


"I take Celebrex for tendinitis (in my elbows and ankles). Pain and swelling stopped within one day of taking 400mg, and I have been free of pain for several months. I now take a 200 mg capsule only when needed (and that isn't often)."


"Suffered for over 5 years with this rash on the soles of my feet, mine has the blisters, scaling, unbearable itching, redness, inflammation. Nothing worked till I found the MG217 coal tar gel...this worked immediately!! Got instant relief and the rash is now clearing up! 5 YEARS!!!! So glad I heard about this product, I tried everything else!"


"Great migraine/headache relief.  I never had a headache before I turned 30, but I have had tons of morning allergy related headaches/migraines.  Nothing helped until I tried excedrin migraine forumula or extra strength (both have the same ingredients).  Often get relief from one pill.  It has a mix of caffeine, aspirin, and tylenol that works great."


"I use Yasmin 28 for both acne and birth control, and it has been a life-saver! My PCP put me on Tri-Lo Sprintec, and I broke out horribly before it got better. I had new whiteheads on my cheeks and other places I had never broken out before. Right when my skin started clearing up after a few months, my OBGYN put me on Yasmin and said since it was a monophasic pill, it would work better for my skin and needs. I haven't had a new zit in about 3 weeks. I also have not had any of the side effects other than moodiness, and I do get thirsty and have dry mouth after taking it, but those are minor compared to acne! I definitely recommend this."


"I went to the gyno thinking I had bv again turns out it is a yeast infection gave me diflucan150mg 2 pills 3 days apart supposed to take the next one 2/15/16 so it is Valentine's day and constantly dealing with this it feels like it got worse more noticeable that something is wrong"


"hi I am a doctor.I have severe social anxiety.propranolol helps me to continue my job.this is my life ,my love"


"Worked good for me with no side affects, if ony my insurance would pay for it."


"Well I am very pleased to tell you that I started Wellbutrin XL 150mg  for depression and anxiety and I can honestly say that it is a miracle drug! I started feeling much better after just one day, I could not believe it. It has been 30 days now and I have not had even one side effect. My depression went away almost right away and the anxiety took a couple weeks. But 30 days later I feel completely myself again. This medication is definitely doing its job 100%."


"2/9/12 I had a full hysterectomy (uterus and cervix removed) due to fibroids. My Dr found endometriosis everywhere. My Dr. put me on Lupron about a month after the surgery and I had my 2nd shot 4/20/12.  I got hot flashes right after the first shot but they are really not that bad.  Night sweats are more uncomfortable and my joints and muscles are achy and stiff. However, my mood is pretty terrible. I have no patience for anything and feel pretty grumpy most of the time. My pain is lessening but still present. That said, if I can be rid of most of the pain after the 6 months regimen, it will have been worth it! "


"I was prescribed Atarax for my anxiety and to wean off Klonopin. It worked well at first but I have found that I've built a tolerance. One 50mg pill the first day helped, the next day I need two 50mg pills and now after 2 weeks in up to 200mg and it is no longer controlling my panic or anxiety."


"I love this birth control. I was on the pill for 3 years, but when I moved in with my boyfriend I did not want to risk anything. So, I got Nexplanon and I have now had it for 2 years. The insertion was painless, and the healing was almost immediate. I have not gained any weight on it. My period is not consistent, but I don't usually get cramps and it is typically light. I will be off for about 2-3 months, and then will have a light period for about a month, the brownish blood. I trust this with my life, obviously, and I have not had any scares. I am a working, full-time college student and I really needed a birth control that I did not have to worry about, and this is it."


"I'm on it now and I haven't gained any weight or had any acne problems honestly it just depends on the person it reacts different for everyone and I only get a period for 2 weeks every 3to 4 months so not bad at all"


"I was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder exactly one year ago. After about 4 weeks on Lamictal, I noticed a huge change. I could feel feelings again. The bubble of depression, rage and mania I lived in popped. I could communicate again, without getting frustrated with everyone.  I am taking Lamictal with Wellbutrin and Abilify. No side-effects and my life - both professional and personal - has done a complete about-face. I am happy again. I remember how happy feels, and I'm there."


"I just started taking it for two day and I hate it the first day I started twitching and shaking and my stomach felt so uncomfortable.the second day it felt worse I had a dry throat, uncomfortable stomach, less twitching , I felt so useless.  The worst thing about it was a post to make me focus and it does not even help. I just hate how I have to lie about how I feel - I say I'm ok but I'm so for from being ok."


"Had panic attacks and major depression. This medication changed my life for the better. Been on this medication for almost a year. Takes about 3 months to feel the full effect. If the dose is too strong you may feel worse. Its trial and error."


"I am very happy with Aubra. At first I experienced terrible migraines for the first few weeks, but afterwards they went away. Similarly with acne, I had a flare the first few weeks I used it, but afterwards my acne has severely improved and I've had a clear face since. Sometimes around the time of my 'period' I get a few blemishes but nothing serious. To be fair though, I never had bad acne to begin with. For the main reason, in terms of birth control, I haven't gotten pregnant which is the best part! In addition my cramps and periods are a lot shorter and less severe. I was afraid to try this but overall I would highly recommend!"


"I tried a free sample of Lunesta for my insomnia for a few days. I felt a lingering bad taste in my mouth. I quit taking it. It was worse than Ambien CR's side effects, which made me anxious and irritable next morning. I tried Silenor and I am still taking it. Its side effect is very mild. I just drink coke to concentrate on my work next day."


"Recently was told I needed both knees replaced but should try 4 Orthovisc injections. Had 3 so far beginning 3 weeks ago. First shot alleviated severe day to day walking pain. Am waiting to see if my condition improves much beyond where it is after all 4. Had no pain or swelling with any shots"


"This has been the worst birth control pill I've ever been on.  I've gained around 10lbs just in 3 weeks of taking this medication. I've had a period for 7 days when I should of been off at least 2 days ago. I've been having mood swings and depression!!! Do not take this pill"


"I thought I was going crazy!  I chose Implanon after the birth of my second child because I was unsure if we wanted more children and this would give us some time to decide.  It was also one of the only types of birth control I could use and still breast feed.  I bled for 7 weeks straight and then it changed to 3 out of 4 weeks a month.  It has now been 20 months since I got it and I am fed up with the bleeding.  I have horrible rage and depression, headaches, bad skin and weight gain.  I work out most days of the week and even completed a triathlon but still can't seem to lose any weight!  My marriage has taken a hit from all of this and I am anxious to have Implanon removed!"


"I am 55 years old and have been taking Zoloft over 20 years. For me it has been a miracle medicine. I find I am much more on an even keel and while some things still upset me, it's far less than without Zoloft. I find too I am much more rational in my thought processes and am more confident of choices I make. I have several medical conditions that contribute to feeling depressed, overwhelmed, and yes, even suicidal but since I began my therapy with Zoloft, I want to live. Without Zoloft, I did not.  I encourage anyone who feels depressed to seek help by finding the right medication for you. Life is hard enough without having to cope with feelings of severe negative emotions. I am so grateful for whoever created Zoloft."


"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."


"i am on methadone for cauda equina nerve pain, and CRPS/RSD. If it was not for  the fentora i would be dead years ago. I needed something to knock out the pain fast, as i have bone on bone/nerves  in my lower back , no hardware, 2 emerg lamy's, nerves entrapped. Opana for breakthrough took too long, i waited as long as i could , 45 min to 60min. Be on floor in a ball with shocks every 6 seconds,and toes and feet sawed off. Body would Jolt . I would take another dose of opana and a couple time i almost woke up dead, in my own excrement. Only complaint i have on Fentora is that it is like a sweet tart, and you're not suppose to suck on them,  . I also have sore in my buccal area now"


"My skin looks amazing and my weight is the same. One bad side effect. My depression has increased. "


"I was on this antibiotic when I was in my early 20's and it worked really well. My skin cleared within a week. Although I started to get joint pain and had to stop taking it.

A couple of years later I went back on it and I didn't have any side effects but the doctor asked me to stop taking it because of the longer term side effects.

My skin has always been up and down but 3 years later it started to concern me so a dermatologist prescribed me them again a couple of weeks

Only this time the side effects were so much worse. I was vomiting and had severe chest pains, making it hard for me to breathe. I couldn't belive that the antibiotic that had worked so well for me was causing this amount of pain. So please, where you can, avoid taking them"


"I was put on 150 mg of Wellbutrin twice a day. It has completely helped my depression and amped up my sex life. Things could not be better. Our sex life has always been amazing but without the depression in the way its even better."


"Took two 500mg (1,000 total) in one dose. A little stomach pain but was able to sleep it off. No other side effects. The key to taking this antibiotic is to EAT EAT EAT. Eat something before and eat something after. And drink an entire bottle of water and then some. You'll be fine! Most people only share negative reviews but my experience with the antibiotic was just fine. And I have the worst anxiety. Just eat and drink water, and you'll be FINE."


"I have had very bad migraines for years when a neurologist prescribed  the stadol ns and for the first time in years I had relief. Then without warning they cut the amount I was allowed to have in half. So I have a good week followed by a bad week. I guess its against the law to feel pain free all the time."


"Caused muscle contraction in My neck. Very painful and frightening. Was given a shot of cogentin and it subsided. Caused drowsiness, constipation and marked sleepiness. Emotional flatness. It increased My depression."


"This medicine has not helped me much with pain relief at all."


"Been on it for 2 weeks now. I don't tolerate anything well and the first week I was very nauseous, had a few headaches but nothing I couldn't handle. Now I've noticed that I've gained a pound probably because it seems my boobs exploded. I was already a D and now I'm sure I'm at least a DD. Kill me. Other than that my sex drive is fine, maybe a little lower, but not bad. The one thing that I don't like is I'm super moody and then I get depressed and wanna eat everything. Also, some days I'm so tired and don't wanna do anything."


"This has helped me alot. I use 20-25 mg with hydrochlorothiazide for water. It is the best I have tried. I would recommend it to everyone."


"I had an event trigger increased anxiety, panic attacks and recurring nightmares. Dr let me know it sounded like PTSD and suggested I try prozosin in addition to my normal medications. I started off on the lowest end of the dosage and after a couple weeks it was working well. Every few weeks I found the nightmare would come back and I did have to up the dose. That would stop it for another few weeks or more and when it happened again I'd up it again and now I take the max dose (I think it's 10). It's improved my sleep since I'm not waking up from this panic dream every hour. Cannot recommend enough for traumatic nightmares. Do have one side-effect- if I smoke a cigarette in the morning it almost always makes me puke. Why?"


"It's great for my frequent migraines"


"Three weeks after commencing amiodarone I had developed an itchy skin rash (under clothing, not photosensitive) which started below my knees, and spread over my whole body within eight weeks. At that time I wore a halter monitor to assess rhythm and my condition was worse than when I was on other medicines. The side effects were pronounced, the results poor, at least in my case."


"Gilenya is by far the best medication so far in treating my multiple sclerosis.  Easy to take and with few to any side effects.  Highly recommend."


"I had to stop using this product very early on because it ruined my skin.  It made my skin unbelievably dry, and made me breakout on my forehead worse than it had in 5 years.  I also developed red blotches all over my face.  Don't buy this."


"I am so excited to find a website with comments confirming what I've suspected - Voltaren gel is a miracle! I've tried everything for a whiplash injury - physical therapists, joint injections, steroid injections, chirpractors, NSAID pills - but did not find my solution until this gel. I put in on my neck at night and wake in the morning gloriously pain-free."


"I have been on Prednisone for 8 months now. I have every side effect going. I am decreasing dose slowly now and am down to 15mg. This is the first time I got down this low on these. I an hoping to be completely off them in the next 3 or 4 weeks."


"Gabapentin  does not work for Rsd, It must be name brand Neurontin for this disease.
It it so much more expensive but you will save yourself so much agony by not using the
generic form of this medicine."


"Hi, I'm 24 years old and I've been epileptic for about 12 years. I've seen my fair share of doctors and I was either too medicated or ignored, so remember, the doctor isn't always right.
I recently found my current doctor about 3 years ago and she has gone above and beyond for me. I am currently seizure free and can drive.
I currently take 1000mg Depakote ER a day 200 mg of Topamax a day to balance out the weight gain. I do have a slight problem with my hair, it won't grow, but that's okay."


"Side effects experienced : Nausea, diarrhea, insomnia, depression."


"I started Effexor XR about a year ago for PTSD, and severe depression, and sleep issues. All other depression medicines (prozac, lexapro, you name it) were leaving me feeling druggy - so I was not very good at taking my medicines.  I have been consistent with Effexor this whole time, with very good progress, and suicidal events eliminated.  I have just been increased from 75mg to 150mg to aide in FMS.  I am very happy with what Effexor has done for me."


"This birth control is trash. Do not take especially if you have suffered from depression in the past. I was extremely irritable and snappy. The mood swings like I am crazy.  Please avoid if sensitive to these things."


"This medication was not helpful for my depression at all."


"So I've wanted to be on BC pills for the longest just for menstrual cramps. My pcp said this would be great. I've been constantly sad, and extremely tired. No matter how much sleep I get it's never enough. I always have itching in my private area and it never seems to go away to the point where it breaks open and seeps blood. Also the non stop spotting is crazy to deal with. I've been spotting for literally a month. I know spotting is definitely expected but I didn't expect it to be this bad. I definitely want to be off of this pill and it's only been a month literally ! I rather take a Motrin 800 mg pill to deal with my cramps than to deal with this mess. It's so NOT worth it."


"If I take one 8 hour pill before getting up in about a half hour I am good to go for the whole day. I have osteoarthritis."


"Ok, I'm gonna give you advise if you have never taken this medicine before, make sure you have the next day off. Don't try to take this med before bed, thinking you'll have one go at the toilet and your ready to go. Second I would try changing your diet, an enema or even miralax before considering this med. I was having stomach pain and had an xray of my stomach and my Dr showed me how stopped up I was, it's amazing how much the body can hold. Anyway I say all this because it does clean u out but yes your cramps are close to something like food poisoning cramps, because it's forcing ur body to do something it can't effectively do on its own. I hope this helps."


"I've been prone to severe bronchitis since I was a baby. Finally when I'm 39 the doctor prescribed a cough syrup that makes me stop coughing so I can get some damn sleep! if you haven't taken it before I suggest a 1/4 dose to start since it's a strong narcotic and go from there. But once you get used to it, it's all good feelings and sound sleep. I see that pretty much every negative review was due to side effects. Well this ain't otc it's the real deal, so treat it with respect."
