"I just had my Paragard inserted about two hours ago, so I can only share my experience with the procedure itself. I read all the horror stories but understood that that was something that I should take with a grain of salt. After all, everyone's body is different and negative stories are more often shared online than the positive ones. The procedure itself only took a few minutes. The most uncomfortable part was the sounding, or measuring of my uterus. My midwife had me cough and as I did, she inserted the measuring tool. That felt like a strong cramp and it made me tense up a bit. The Paragard itself did not hurt when she inserted it. I'm experiencing some mild cramping and light spotting, but nothing that a little Motrin can't fix."


"Simply wonderful. I took 20 mg for the first time and mine was rock hard in 1 hour. With two ejaculations and complete satisfaction. A light touch of my girl friend body would make it rock hard in few minutes and lasts long time til u or she gets tired .  It really works far far better than Viagrais.  Which lasts on for 4 hours"


"I had Skyla inserted 4 months ago and I am very glad I went ahead with the insertion. The only negative thing I have to say is that I have gained weight since the insertion. I've gained about 15 pounds but, it's not something I'm worried about. If I can give any advice, it would be to not pay attention to other people's ratings of this birth control method. Do what is best for YOU. You know your body and what is best for it. Insertion was painful. I won't lie to you there. I had terrible cramps for about 6 hours after but after that, it was a breeze. For me personally, getting Skyla was the best decision I could have made for birth control."


"The first few weeks were hell. Be warned when you take this drug you may (like me) feel worse. I was miserable, I was so sick I couldn't eat and the headaches and insomnia were unbelievable. The depression seemed to be worse too. I pushed through it and two months later I feel completely normal and strong again. Citalopram will make you the person you are suppose to be. I was always anti antidepressants and I am very fit and active so don't judge yourself for taking them. I have not gained any weight. I think if you keep active and eat well it shouldn't affect you that way. I have had a hard time lately through personal problems but this drug is a life saver and I am still happy and together despite everything I have had to deal with."


"Qsymia has changed my life in a way I never thought it would. Not only am I losing weight- 9 lbs and I never lose- but I am missing the one craving that I have struggled with for years- alcohol. Wine doesn't even sound or taste good to me, so I am saving those calories and have more energy and the money I am saving on food and alcohol more than covers the cost of Qsymia. I'm thirsty and was a bit tired mid afternoon in the beginning, but now I feel great. So glad I can lose weight without food that tastes like cardboard!"


"I was prescribed Norco 7.5 due to server pain from a bad Kidney infection. I'm not big on pain meds due to making me feel different. I have found this medicine has controlled the pain but makes me restless not able to sleep."


"This antibiotic made my heart race so much that I didn't sleep the first night. Called my doctor the next day and he changed the medicine because that side effect wasn't one that I could live with."


"I am 20 years old and I've been taking focalin for a year now. I have been on every ADHD medication under the sun since I was in second grade and this is the only  medication that helped me get on track right away. The only adverse side effects I experience are a faster heart rate (most ADHD meds do that) and trouble sleeping. If you are having trouble sleeping on this drug here's what you do and here's what I did: prior to now, I was taking my medication at 11am or 10am. Often I would spend nights awake and panicky just begging for sleep to come. This is a simple fix. Just wake yourself up at like 6am every day to take it and you shouldn't have any problem sleeping. That's what I did and I sleep very soundly."


"Ive been taking Cabergoline for 7 years and it has helped keep my prolactin level normal. I can take it anytime of the day and it doesnt bother my stomach, i do get dizzy easier on this medicine."


"Went to the doctor and found out I have bv. She prescribed Flagyl 500mg, 2 twice a day. I had just fasted and had blood work done and went to go eat lunch and about  and hour later took my 1st pill. As soon as I put the pill in my mouth I thought I was going to die!  It's probably the worst taste I've ever had in my mouth! Even after I couldn't get that bitterness out of my mouth! I'm not looking forward to the second and so on but I know I have to finish them.  It's been 7 hours since I took my first pill and I'm STILL dizzy and out of it. But, a VERY small price to pay for getting rid of the smell and discharge. Oh and for the past two months I was eating a lot of candy, from what I've read sugar is the enemy!  Sleep without panties!"


"I just started taking Celexa 1 week ago. I've been a depressed, sad, sorry person for over 15 years. For some unexplained reason, I was always so low. I began hitting myself around the age of 7 and would give myself nose bleeds. I'm now 28 and my self inflictions are numerous places on my body and my flesh will hang off my muscle. In the 4 times I have been taken to the E.R. not one doctor or hospital therapist has said or done anything to help me understand why. Finally, 1 week ago in the E.R., the physician put me on 20 mg Celexa. I felt really weird the first day. I have loss of appetite, minor headache. NO ANXIETY. Still feel low but I'm set an appointment for therapy. WONDERFUL FEELING! The world is different and not so ugly. I am tired though."


"This the best medicine for cold and flu symptoms that I have ever tried. It also works during allergy season. I couldn't live without it when I am sick. It doesn't give you that balloon head feeling that most medicines do. It's the best medicine ever created for colds!"


"34 years old diagnosed back in Oct 14 started meds at 18mg fine 1st day then no real benefit after that  I hoped the increase would help did for a while. Now on 54mg and I'm not in a great place and emotionally feel low  and feel desperate. My relationship has broken down I'm hoping tomorrow I can change meds"


"Without this drug I would be disabled."


"I took plan B after a night of unprotected sex.  After consulting my period app I realized I was definitely at the fertile time.  We had sex around midnight and I took the pill around 11am the next day.  I was due to start my period the following week.  The week after taking it I had my normal premenstrual symptoms.  Mainly breast tenderness and they were more plump.  Once I was late I immediately started reading reviews and effectiveness.  There were several people who were late on their period like I was, and complained of the breast tenderness.  So I kept waiting hoping I was just going to be late.  As of today I am 9 days late so I took a pregnancy test and I'm definitely pregnant."


"I first took Vyvanse about a year ago, was up to 50mg a day. I found it extremely helpful, but by late afternoon I was angry at everything and everyone. I decided to stop. I then tried a few other medicines (Strattera and Concerta). Strattera didn't really work as well as a stimulant and had very negative effects on my sex life, and Concerta didn't really work at all. I was ready to give up, but decided to give Vyvanse another try. This time I lowered the does to 30mg, and only took it during the work week. WOW - it made a huge difference. I'm not seeing the same side effects that I did first time. So it is clear to me that I was over medicating. Anyways, just thought I would share."


"Few days ago I shared my experience  after taking ella one, & was waiting for it to work. So I got my period  yesterday, on day 23 of my cycle. Which is a good  thing although  was really  painful-  I really suffered a lot of cramps after taking the pill. I think its better to use condoms  next time rather than  making any mistakes and regretting later on. This pill depends basically  on your period finishing date and the day you have unprotected  sex.."


"I first got on Nexplanon in March of 2015. Within 2 weeks I got a very heavy & painful period which lasted for 3 months. Within 6 weeks I started getting very painful facial break outs. In addition to these breakouts, started getting thicker facial hair, more than the normal peach fuzz. But I would say the WORST part of this birth control is that I gained over 40 lbs in one year. I went from being 130 to 172 in 12 months- without any diet changes. I work out 3-4 times a week and I still could not stop the weight gain.  I felt disgusted with myself."


"It really works!!! But I gained 14 pounds"


"I have been on 0.5mg (2x daily) of the generic form of Xanax XR for about 5 months. I still get anxiety building up in my chest here and there, but have had no side effects or panic attacks since I started. I'm a little worried about getting off of it eventually though. For now though, it is a miracle medicine. Now if only I could find the same kind of medicine for my depression!"


"I started Saxenda January 2016 starting weight 369lbs currently at 324 and still losing."


"After battling the social stigma of admitting that I suffer from Depression and Anxiety, I researched on the internet and talked with my Medical Dr. about getting on Lexapro for my depression and Anxiety. However, I realized that there is about a 4 week window before the effects occur,,,, so if you are new to it like me and have anxiety,,,, I would consider requesting your dr. to put you on a short term Anxiety medication,,,, In my case, I went with Xanax, which seems ok,,,, so far...."


"I started adipex on 5-23-16 exactly 4 weeks ago from today. From the first day I took it I noticed a huge difference. I lost almost all appetite, and had to force myself to eat even though I wasn't hungry. The best thing about it is when I did eat I took the time to think about what I was putting in my body and made better and healthier choices. There are times when I wanted something I knew wasn't good for me, but my will power is stronger and I turned from it. I drink only water...It helps me stay full. I also have been working out 2-3 times a week. Only side affect I've had was dry mouth the first week. I went to the doctor today and I've lost 23lbs in 4 weeks. I recommend this to anyone struggling with weight loss."


"I got positive results after the first tablet.  I stayed with the medication for two weeks but had to discontinue use due to constipation.  In fact the constipation was so bad in the second week I was giving myself enemas to get relief.  "


"This is the only medicine that truly keeps my systems down. I use my rapid inhaler less."


"Man. It hasn't been a month & my body is all out of wack. Mood swings, lack of sex drive, extreme hunger within minutes of taking the pill, headaches, dry mouth & vagina! "


"I have rheumatoid arthritis already over 4 years from my 30 years. Medrol helps me everyday to get rid of pain, but on other side I was now diagnosed with Osteoporosis. For around 9 months I have been taking Medrol with methotrexate 15mg a week and Arava and I am able to go bicycling again. Before I couldn't."


"Like one of the reviews above. I Went into ER with gastroenteritis symptoms. Could not keep down anything including water due to nausea and heavy vomitting of anything. Was given injection of zofran and a prescription for the generic ondansetron and felt less nauseous. Allows me to eat better and to sleep."


"Used this for my eczema around my mouth, instant regret as soon as I applied it. Washed it off immediately but it continued to burn for 3 days. It was red in that area for a few days too. In the shower, and every time I breathed outta my nose the heat seemed to ignite the burning. It was torture!"


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"I've been using Nuvigil (and Provigil before that) and it works well.  As others before me have said, it's nice to not fall asleep in rhe middle of the day at work.  That being said, I still don't get enough sleep, even with the CPAP. Lately I've been averaging under 6 hours a night, and at that rate, I still get sleepy at times.

But, once the insurance company is convinced that I need the Nuvigil, they approve for a year at a time.  If you have prescription drug coverage check out their website, because they have a discount card you can use to lower your costs even more, up to $50 off your co-pay. (excludes Medicare/Medicaid)  This has saved me hundreds of dollars!"


"This instantly cleared up my issues with my stomach not emptying and associated diarrhea with undigested food.  I still take it occasionally when I feel food sitting heavily and have not had any side effects at all."


"I had decreased libido, problems with ejaculation, depression, thoughts of harming myself, thoughts of suicide, inability to think clearly or rationally, diarrhea, and upset stomach."


"I started reading about the benefits of B-12. I thought it be something to try. I've noticed that I'm much more alert for a greater portion of the day. I'm not suffering the afternoon slump."


"I had the implanon inserted over a year ago.
I gained 8kgs in less than 6 months,I always had the perfect skin but the implanon causes me to have spots everyday.
I have irregular bleeding sometimes 2 - 3 weeks at a time and I am heavily bloated all the time.
I am very emotional and sometimes just get angry over nothing.
I get bad back pains and pains in my legs .
I have been heavily dieting for the past 3 months even using duromine to help me,which makes me feel worse.I have lost only 2.8kgs in 3 weeks.
The implanon is definitely effective and I really don't want to fall pregnant.
I suffer from severe anxiety and I am afraid the anxiety will get worse if I remove it.
I suffered for at least 4 months to overcome some of the anxiety symptoms"


"This medication gave me COMPLETE AND TOTAL relief for the herniated discs in my lower back before the pain turned from Acute to Chronic. I was on Vicodin ES before that and when I was having pain at night my orthopedist put me on this and it worked great!"


"I started my very 1st birth control after i had my daughter. My dr had perscribed Minastrin 24 fe to me and it worked amazingly! At first I hated chewing it but im used to it now (4 months in). My periods are only 4-6 days and are very light! I am so happy with this borth control and wouldnt even think about switching it out. You ladies need to get past the 1st three months and you'll be good to go!"


"I was experiencing severe anxiety and panic. I could barely leave my house and everyday activities seemed impossible. I would get dizzy, pounding heart, the works! Also, I couldn't sit still anymore! I could not sit in class, dinners, or even just with friends. My doctor prescribed Zoloft 25mg, a typically low dosage, after an unsuccessful attempt with Lexapro. I have been on Zoloft 25mg for six weeks now and I'm doing tremendously better. The first two weeks or so I experienced minimal, tolerable side effects like foggy feeling the first day, heighten anxiety and restlessness, but nothing too bad. Now I feel great! I can sit for longer periods, little to no obsessive thoughts and am pretty much panic free! I love Zoloft!"


"I got Skyla inserted this morning. I was nervous going in a little bit but was optimistic. I used the pills the night before to soften my cervix. (I don't know if it really did anything though)I went in, my doctor cleaned my cervix. My doctor measured inside my uterus, it was a little uncomfortable but nothing to bad. Then my doctor used a tool to "pinch" my cervix so it will stay open for the insertion part. THAT was painful! I have gotten piercings and have sat for a back tattoo. The pinching of my cervix was unlike anything I have felt. Don't pysch yourself out though, it only lasts a little while and just try to relax. Then she inserted the skyla, which was a tiny pinch/cramp, and she removed all the other things. Done!Easy!"


"I LOVE this medication!!! I have suffered with cold sores since I was an infant, and it has always been something I just "dealt with"... AKA stay home from school, miss work, hide from the world for 2 weeks 2-4 times a year.. I was prescribed this medication in my late teens and it truly is a miracle drug! I take it as soon as I feel a tingle, or as soon as I see something pop up and it will either A: Get rid of it before it pops up, or B: limit it to the size it is currently and make it go away fast!
I always keep some on hand!"


"I am a women of 45 years old and have been going through menopause early.  In the past summer I started with anxiety, and terrible hot flushes which was effecting my life.  I went to my gp who referred me to the Jeans Hailles clinic.  Best thing I have ever done.  Due to my mother having severe osteoporosis and breast cancer in the past, HRT was out of the question.  The doctor suggested anti depressants.  I started taking venlafaxine about 4 months ago and the hot flushes has just about disappeared.  I have some side effects including yawning and worst of all a little constipated but all in all my confidence in myself has improved so much."


"I've been on Lutera non-stop for about 5 years.

Pros: Never had any noticeable weight gains, acne, mood swings, cramping, or any other side effects that would be linked to the pills. Also no pregnancies, which is kind of the whole point!

Cons: Within the past year or two, I've noticed a big decrease in sex drive. Also stopped taking it for a week or two recently (was on antibiotics) and my next period was medium flow for almost two weeks. Noticed my PMS kicked in big time when I took that time off."


"I've been on Epitol for a little over 6 months and it has CHANGED my life. I had a hard time finding a medication that didn't worsen my condition or give me weird side effects and so far, I've had NONE of that from Epitol.  The first few weeks were a little difficult as it made me kind of tired but I quickly adapted and no longer get drowsy. (I still find it best to take it before bedtime). My depressed symptoms are all but gone and my manic spells are much more mild (though occasionally longer). This medicine was a God-send."


"I started Norco 7.5 3 months ago for neck, arm, back and leg pain. I thought this was a low dose since I have tried much stronger medicines in the past i.e. Oxycontin, Roxicet and fentanyl..bad side effects.  Norco so far has sufficiently controlled my pain. Dose may have to be increased in future but now ok."


"I didn't get pregnant and insertion wasn't all that bad. There was spotting the entire 6 months I had it in, but it was tapering off quite a bit toward the end.

The reason I had to have it removed is because I went almost completly insane. I was depressed, would cry at the drop of a hat, became paranoid of my boyfriend and just very sad/angry in general. I had my GP remove it and now (4 months later) life is back to normal.

I know some people don't experience any mood side-effects, but I was one of the few."


"Hello ladies and gentlemen lol I know men look on here as well. For my experiences I have took plan b in the past(January 2015)and worked perfect though it did make my period come earlier. I did notice some slight sharp pains in my abdomen but that was all. I took it again(July 2016) and this one worked well. No early period but I did have more abdominal pain and I noticed I was really sensitive somewhat like pms. I took one again recently this September and I got my period like three days earlier this month(October) so that wasn't really an issue. I had no abdominal pain, this one was fine. Until just yesterday I got my period again so that is twice in one month. First time it happened but just be aware from my experience. Plan b worked."


"I have a hiatus hernia, causing GERD. I was put on 20mg Omeprazole in the morning, and have been on that dose for about 2 years. The GERD cleared up and generally has not come back (only if I have too many beers or eat too late at night!). No side effects noticed. I may talk to my doctor eventually about any long term use problems; but so far so good."


"I think I might be the only person in the world having no beneficial effect on this drug.

I took 50 Mg Modalert and I never felt so bad in my life: I was paranoid, anxious, had several serious suicidal thoughs , headache and nausea. I kept feeling bad for the next 24 hours.
I feel so disappointed and sad, I was hoping that moda could have helped me"


"I have suffered from back problems for almost 20 years and more recently, neck problems, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia.  In that time, I have taken about every pain medication known to man, just to have them either work slightly or not work at all.  Nucynta is my God send. I am on 50 mg three times per day, although I try to keep it to one per day when my pain is at its worst so as not to form an addiction.  The side effects aren't bad to me, comparatively speaking.  I do get tired shortly after taking it, but then my pain disappears and I have energy to do things that need to be done.  I have some itching as well, but I can handle some itching and drowsiness if it means I have some pain-free time every day!  SO grateful."


"I started this pill and have noticed serious changes. Moodiness, very snappy, depressed, thinking negative. Although I don't feel nauseous or dizziness."


"I never comment on these this but I feel this website sharing positive experiences helped me a lot. I had my first panic attack two months ago after a night out. Weeks of having 3-4 panic attacks a day and massive levels of anxiety followed. I tried to carry on with life as normal going to work, etc. and started CBT, which helped me establish it had started due to increased stress from work. I struggled to get on trains, tubes, eating in restaurant's, shopping...pretty much every day to day task. When I was put onto Cipralex and for the first four weeks I had high levels on anxiety, headaches, disassociation, tight chest, chest pains. Now on week 5 on Lexapro I am feeling much better and can do everything I did before with only low levels of anxiety."


"I've had Irritable Bowel Syndrome for 11 years, and for almost the entire time, this was the medication I was on. It worked great at first, but then I started having to take double doses (which at least helped with nighttime problems, as it made me extremely drowsy). Eventually, it had no effect on my pain whatsoever, and I only experienced the side effects. I've switched to Librax, which has given me limited results. This medication was a life-saver for years with very fast results, but I guess it just stopped working for me."


"If I could rate this drug a negative 10, I would.  It has an array of negative side effects, and should not be taken long term.  I lost about 10 lbs in three months, but my body developed a tolerance and I only maintained the 10 lb weight loss for the next 3 mos. While on it,  I did not feel it had any extremely worrisome side effects, But once I went off of the meds, I realized how anxious, moody and exhausted I had been.  This is speed.  You get a rush for 6-8 hours or so, but afterward, there is a crash.  This crash prohibited me from any effective exercise. After I went off, I gained 25 lbs in approx 3 months and am now 16 lbs heavier than I was to start.  My physician also prescribed this med to two of my friends who are NOT obese."


"I have had irritable bowel syndrome since childhhod. Bad thing was all doctors thought my symptoms as amebiasis but from internet search I met a doctor. I have to praise him  as he prescribed me this medicine, daily one before bed. My problem solved for 10 days which I'm suffering from 15 years."


" More people have issues then not.  I made an appointment to get this thing removed after a year.  Read the mostly bad reviews before but thought maybe my experience would be different. However, the bleeding is extremely common, I really wanted this to work since my ARNP said such wonderful things about like not getting my period.  HAHA!!  I was on my period the first 5 months though it was light.  They had to prescribe a heavy dose antibiotic to stop bleeding.  I've since been on the pill twice to stop it and it's only gotten heavier.  Last night I went to get in the shower and blood started rushing down my leg like I had been cut in there or something.  I've also gained weight since it was implanted and I am an avid yogi."


"I started taking fluoxetine in April for social anxiety/OCD.  I was hooked on drugs for 4 years that's what caused it. I've been sober for 2 years but unfortunately my mind didn't repair itself. I felt a difference with my anxiety straight away. But it took 6 weeks for it to really start working fully . I kept thinking in that first 6 weeks that I should have kept upping the dose because at times it didn't feel like it was working. But exactly 6 weeks in. Big difference in how I was feeling . Basically no anxiety at all. Highly recommend this medication and I had hardly any side effects. I tried Zoloft years ago and the side effects were terrible. Fluoxetine is much much better. Stick with it . It's worth it"


"Do not take Adderall if high blood pressure runs in your family. Be especially careful not to take it if you have high blood pressure already. I had normal blood pressure until I started taking Adderall. Ever since, my blood pressure has been at least 130/80, and I have measured it at 162/88 while on the drug. I am a 20 year old male, and my dad has hypertension, which is where this incredible susceptibility comes from. I stopped taking it but I still have high readings, which only started when I began taking Adderall. Do yourself a big favor and harangue your doctors about Adderall if you or your family has a history of high blood pressure. You don't want to end up on BP meds."


"I took this for 2 days and absolutely nothing. Don't waste your time or money on this."


"I've been on Strattera for a month and am currently taking 60mg a day for ADHD and anxiety. I'm also taking Lexapro and Buspar. So far, I've experienced no side effects and this has been almost a miracle. My anxiety is almost gone, I am able to think more clearly and concentrate on work and other obligations. I'm much less impulsive than before taking Strattera and I tend to think things through before acting.

My only complaint is the cost. My insurance doesn't cover my medicine."


"I was on one Abilify for three years, for schizophrenia. At first I thought it was pretty good. It helped with motivation. But then I started gaining weight. Weight gain on Abilify is very unusual, my doctor said.

Anyway, I gained over 50kg, going from nearly skinny at 78kg (I'm 6 foot 1 inch) to morbidly obese at 132kg. Now I'm on ziprasidone (Geodon/Zeldox) and I have lost 7 kg in six months. Hopefully that weight loss will continue.

So if you start gaining weight on this drug, don't ignore it, talk to your doctor about changing medicine."


"Finally, something that worked for my fibroids! Yay"


"I originally started on Topamax for Migraines and found it to be a 10  for that. I went from 4-5 monthly to maybe 2-3 per year. Life changing! It was difficult for my body to adapt to at first and I had to build up VERY slowly using 12.5mg for a few weeks in the morning and then adding an evening dose, etc. It made me feel horrible, tired, breathless, out of sorts and dopey overall but over time all that wore off and in addition to the absence of migraines I enjoyed a more even keel mood, more control over my decision making including less desire for alcohol. This made staying sober easier than at previous attempts. I also struggled less with eating issues. I've had to increase over time and take breaks/restart to manage the dosage amount vs tolerance."


"I've been on Humira and Enbrel. Hands down those two were the worse experiences of my life. So many side effects. I've tried Methroxate and that was even worse!! Finally, I was introduced to Stelara and I haven't had a flare up for two years now. I work out 5 days a week (weight lifting and cardio) and just have the normal muscle soreness. My joints haven't gotten worse at all. My psoriasis is pretty much all gone. I've had no side effects that I can remember. I haven't gained or lost weight. Long term, not sure how this will affect me but I want the quality of life now and I got it with this shot. most insurances will have you paying $200 but if you get the Stelara card, it goes to a $5 per shot copay! (every three months)."


"Sominex is a great mild sedative. Although it does have a bit fo a hangover effect in the morning, this typically only lasts an hour or so. I've been taking this stuff nightly for about a week and it's the best over the counter stuff you can get for sleep."


"this medicine definitely reduced congestion in my nose. I had not been able to breathe out of the right nostril for several days."


"Foot pain gone. I can walk with out limping."


"Life saving! Im so happy to have this drug, I was a severe herion/opioid dependent for 8+ years, I got pregnant and got off the dope, seeked council whoch led me to methadone clinic. It was a way to maintain with a baby without full withdraw/detox. Skip 2 years of maintenance methadone. Finally took the leap to suboxone. 100% best decision I could ever do for myself and my Family. Both my husband and myself are addicts, together when using we were going to either get a divorce , go to jail , or die. You cannot uae narcotics on thus drug. If you do you will be very sick, or in my case you spend enough money to realize that you can do copious amounts of dope and not feel any different ! That's life changing !"


"I used Cialis 5mg per day for benign prostate enlargement from November 2013 until November 2015. Although it was apparently effective for limiting prostate problems, since I stopped it in November 2015 I am 99% sure that, as a person with zero history of epilepsy, it caused me to suffer from Transient Epileptic Amnesia [TEA] with the TEA during 2014 being unrecognised due to nocturnal episodes. There is also a strong possibility that my gradual increases in food sensitivities during this period leading to Irrritable Bowel Syndrome was linked to Cialis. This drug should be withdrawn right away for this condition."


"Well I have seen my husband going down and down further this past year after our second child, we needed a change before our marriage was over. He was taking Percocet 30mg 4-5 a day. Suboxone has helped so much. Just after a month he is back in our lives."


"I had a colonoscopy yesterday and went out quickly, didn't remember anything. Thought it was great!  Actually told the Dr. he could give me more of that stuff.   But later in the day, at home after a nap, I became very aggressive to the point of violence and I am a gentle person by nature.  I slapped and hit my 30 yr old daughter, argued with her and her father, and when he came toward me I thought he was going to hit me and swung my leg out to kick him in the stomach.  I was wondering if anyone else has had a reaction like this before.  Totally out of character for me!"


"I've used Levitra for years. Vigra is quick and short Cials is good for cuddling.
Levitra is great with preparation and awesome for repeat performances during the night and again in the morning. Through experimenting I have found how you take the pill to be important. First if your drunk already forget it. Apologize and like offer to please her some other way . start with an almost empty stomach, take Levitra, wait half hour or so, eat something with sugar (I like fruit). Nothing to fill you up. Go for it. What ever you have after sex doesn't seem to matter much but I get heartburn if I don't have a meal and or beer. A nap usually works for us to have wake up sex later."


"It works but it can be ineffective in some situations. I've used it for over a year switched from a max of 40 MG to 20 MG twice. It is not effective for me personally to take just one a day, so my doctor prescribed me to take two 20 MG pills of Prozac a day and has proven more effective. There are some things Prozac has not fixed with my obsessive compulsive disorder(OCD) even with taking 2 pills a day."


"I originally took Tramadol for pain.  I previously had bouts with depression, which totally consumed me.  I tried Tramadol (50mg noon time and one at bedtime.  )
It pulled me out of the depression before it took me over.  Works great."


"Starting Adipex tomorrow. Looking forward for some great results. I'm 5'3, 188lbs hoping to get to 125lbs by Christmas. Will follow up with updates."


"Works great.  For very stressful events, its not enough. I take 20 mg plus 0.5 mg Ativan. That does the trick 1 hour before. If its a mildly stressful event I don't need the Ativan. Just the 20 mg. it's not effective for me anyway to stop a panic attack after its started. I need Ativan plus propranolol for that."


"I was previously taking Lexapro for my major depression, but once I started having panic attacks, my doctor switched me to Zoloft.  So far, the panic is gone, and my depression has similarly been suppressed.  The only problem seems to be the side effects.  I can't really eat that much anymore, and have succeeded in losing a fair amount of weight.  I also have the "shakes" where my hands tremble. Though, as other people have said, the effectiveness of the medicine outweighs the side effects."


"I have been on Aviane for almost 3 weeks. My breasts are swollen and very tender (that began about a week and a half after I started Aviane). I am extremely tired most of the time, even though I am getting sleep. I'm always hungry, have already put on a few pounds. I feel like I'm more short tempered and moodier too. "


"I have chronic back pain.  I have degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis.  The pain is unbearable at times.  My doctor prescribed tramadol for me.  It has been a life saver for me.  This drug has given my life back.  It takes my pain away for a few hours so I can do some house cleaning.  It is amazing.  Please always  follow your doctor's directions when taking this drug."


"I have been on the depo for 5 years now , the only side effects I have experienced were increased appetite and headaches. My last shot expired in March and l am now trying for a baby in the last month l started feeling nauseous, vomiting, tiredness, tender breasts and increase in my sex drive. l have done a pregnancy test but it was negative. Some are telling me that these are the side effects of the shot wearing off. Is this true ??"


"I just finished up 7 days on Macrobid for a urinary tract infection.  I feel like I have been hit by a bus and have the flu.  I have a headache, feel weak and generally awful.  Not sure the status of the UTI."


"I was given a shot of Tamsulosin in the ER and a prescription for Flomax at 7:30 Friday night, and passed one stone (possibly a sliver of the original) Sunday night at 11:30, and another (3mm) stone Monday at 3:30. The only pain meds I took was 600mg of Ibuprofen (and a TON of water!!!), and from beginning to end, on a scale of 1-10, the pain never exceeded a 3 or a 4!! Flomax and Tamsulosin are a miracle for kidney stones!!"


"I've been on various equivalent brands of this birth control for just over a year now & I have hardly had any side effects. The main reason I started taking it was mainly just to prevent pregnancy, but also to curb my strong PMS mood swings. Before taking birth control, I was very unpleasant to be around during my period. Since I started taking the pill, I no longer walk around pissed at everyone & I'm still not pregnant. Once I began taking the meds, my breasts grew about a half cup size & I became very horny for the 1st month. But since that first month & then an increase in dosage due to breakthrough bleeding, I have had some trouble orgasming during sex, but not enough for me to be annoyed. Overall, a very good brand!"


"This works wonderful and within minutes, but gives you the worst taste in your mouth.  I tasted it within minutes after using them.  I guess it's a trade off."


"Doctor says he found some THC in my system. He took me off MsContin 60mg 3 x daily and put me on Ultram 50mg 2 x daily. I am so much in pain right now. This medicine does not help with my pain at all."


"First had the extreme chest pain (like I imagine a heart attack would be) 10 years ago.  Tried many different products with my gastroenterologist's help.  Ended up with Aciphex.  Of course, the insurance company tried to get me to use other stuff.  "


"I am 54 and weigh 211, never been so heavy!  If only I was 6 foot tall vs 5'5" wouldn't be quite so discouraging.
Second day on meds. No nausea, although I took 1/2 of a Dramamine with the 1 Contrave yesterday and took it with two saltines this morning.  Feel a bit sluggish and a bit of a fog but that's it thus far. See what the next 5 days brings, so far so good. Hope it works and that I will exercise and watch what I eat. Good luck to all, it is an uphill battle worth fighting."


"I have taken Clindamycin a few times as its the only antibiotic I am not allergic to. This time I'm taking it for a recurring bladder infection 300mg every 6 hours. I have MS so discomfort in my tummy is a normal thing for me. One day in and my bladder infection is so much better. This is the absolute best antibiotic I have taken for a bladder infection. The heartburn and yuck taste in your mouth is unpleasant but temporary. You know doubt will end up with a yeast infection from this antibiotic because it kills ALL bacteria good and bad. But because it works quickly the side effects are worth it."


"Nothing else worked for me. I tried Pataday and Bepreve before and Lastacaft blew it out of the water. Super fast acting and I only use it less than once per day. My doctor loves this and I will stick with it for life. My eyes used to be red and itch all day and now they are clear and comfortable. Love it!"


"This was given to my 95 year old mother to clear up a troublesome allergic reaction.  It was very effective and gave her relief within a few hours."


"Been using this for 16 months for ongoing knee pain following surgery. Works well, with minimal side effects. At this point I only feel slightly different and able to function quite well. Only side effect I really get is dependence which can be bad. But it helps with the pain considerably and I can't seem to get off of it. I'm 76 years old. I'd rather live out my life being able to play with my grand kids and enjoying their company then sitting at home in pain. Hope this helps."


"I am a 57 year old female and about 30 pounds over weight. At first it was great.  Side effects were being tired and in a fog.  That got better over 5 or 6 days.  I had to use extream caution driving because I had trouble concentrating.  I lost 5 pounds in 10 days. On day 10 I broke out in hives and had a fever.  I stopped taking the medication.  I also have been taking blood pressure meds and primerin for hot flashes for over a year.  I stopped all meds and took benadryl for 5 days.  I have been in contact with my doctor and am hoping it was not due to qsymia because it was working.  Just not sure if it's safe for me."


"I've been on the nexoplanon BC for about a year. And I will NOT be getting it again and I do NOT recommend it. Actually been thinking of getting it taken out. I have NEVER in my 14 years of having periods bled so much and so often. I use to bleed twice a month but for the past two months I have been bleeding on a daily basis. This isn't a regular thing, even on a BC like this, I will bleed for a couple hours then just stop for a few hours then bleed again. I am so not loving this choice. The only BC that worked for me was the depo provera (I think that's spelled right) shot. I had one regular period then not a spot, and when I did bleed it was only one day and very light, I was on it for 5 years. Definitely going back to the shot!"


"I have been taking Remeron 45mg.approx 2 years. Gained about 20 lbs, my son passed and I ate comfort food,thought I could get it off fast.I did lose the weight,now my cholesterol is very high and ALL the statins does NOT mesh with (Remeron) I either have a rash or itch.I am going to get my Dr. to decrease it and or stop it gradually and get my cholesterol down then maybe start back on it.When my son passed I ate Edwards pies, the whole thing in a day and or ice cream daily,(the whole box) The PTSD comes on every once in a while,or I have a really bad nightmare.The thought of a heart attack is not worth it. Had PTSD,since I was 11 years old and had so many diagnosis thrown at me that did NOT fit, I know its PTSD,NOW! Remeron helps me!"


"Junk !! Sticks to itself,  slightly takes away pain! More of a mess than other lidoderm or lidocaine patches! Mess trying to remove backing, it sticks to itself, rolls up & doesn't stick well after the goop is absorbed! Junk junk junk!"


"I had the Implanon in for all three years (5/2009-3/3012). It was pretty terrible though. My hair fell out, I developed asthma and chronic bronchitis, and I had terrible cramps and bleeding twice a month. My doctors initially thought I had developed lupus (I didn't, I've been tested every six months for the last three years). I went from running 5 miles/day to not being able to hold a conversation without needing an inhaler. The removal was also awful. I never got pregnant though."


"The only pill I take for headaches, pains and insomnia and I wouldn't change it."


"Have been on this many times in the past. Whenever I go back to it, it always works wonders. Each depression I have had is different - this time it has manifest itself with severe irritation, anger and uncontrollable worrying.  Been back on them for nearly one week and all I can say is I feel like a new woman. More energy, no irritation, no angry thoughts, hardly any worrying and appetite appropriate (was out of control before)."


"I have taken Synthroid for 23 years.  The first 3 years I did okay on it but over the past 20 I started to feel losey.  I'm tired all the time and very irritable.  I've taken from .050 MG to .125.  I still feel bad.  It's been adjust at least 30 to 35 times through the course of 23 years. I feel totally helpless and hopeless.  My doctor will not change my thyroid medication."


"I take this medicine for endometriosis and to prevent ovarian cysts. Since taking it, I have have had far less pain and no cysts. As a bonus, it cleared up my bad skin. I experienced fewer side effects than other pills I have taken. The main side effect I have experienced is decreased sex drive which is unfortunate but it beats the pain from endometriosis or cysts."


"Hi. I have been on methotrexate 10 pills once a week and embrel injection 50mg  once a week and now added Lyrica 50 mg 2 x a day. Told I have RA, and fibromyalgia. But even with these great meds I feel bad. From my waist to botton of my feet I hurt so. I do see my legs are swelling so very large and skin gets tight it hurts to walk. I dont know what else to do. I work and am on my feet all day. I go up and down the stairs at home I try to get extra walks in going around the blocks. But it hurts too bad. Im very tolerant to pain but this is to the point of no return. I feel bad for my family that maybe I'm a burden. And if I feel this way now how will I feel if I'd ever need some one to help me with everyday chores and hygiene. They may not see"


"My mother has Alzheimer's Disease and lately she started crying and getting aggressive. This medication has controlled her behavior and her emotions 100%. Thank you very much."


"I'm 20 and I'm on my second pack with Sprintec. I recently had a baby in January so I needed birth control considering I was still going to be sexually active. Doctor told me to try this because I suffered with terrible acne. My face is the clearest it's ever been! Pores are smaller, acne scars are fading and everything. BUT I've recently been feeling nauseous on and off during the day along with diarrhea. I'm going to continue taking it in hopes that these side effects will chill out. Along with that, my period came as expected once it was time to take the "reminder pills". I did have a heavier period that only lasted 5-4 days though. Inexpensive and does its job."


"Ever since I started taking this pill my acne has only gotten worse. I have not experienced any mood swings weight gain or weight loss. I have always had an irregular cycle but this pill helped me regulate it."

"I've never had kids and I am 32 fyi. The insertion was the most pain I've ever felt in my life I almost passed out. For the first 3 months I bled everyday and had pretty bad cramps. I am at month 6 now and the cramps are maybe a few times a month. I still spot but its very light and I am not getting my period anymore. It had also helped with the endometriosis. Overall i am satisfied."


"I have currently been changed from Lortab 10 to Endocet 10 for herniated discs and I find that it helps the pain but makes me very tired and easily irritated. I can be fine one second and the next I want to punch someone then I'm crying. Although the Lortab wasn't as effective for the pain it didn't make me tired or crazy. I have 2 kids so I need to be on top of my game at all times. I also found it very hard to keep awake after taking these."


"It really worked for me, but I became sick when I started the 1mg pills. Also waking up at 1am in the morning and being up until I had to go to work was horrible.  Those were the two worst side effects for me.  I did have a lot more side effects, but not too bad considering I was a 14 year smoker and within three weeks just didn't want to smoke anymore.  I know they tell you to be ready to quit on the eight day, but I smoked until I slowly didn't want that first one in the morning, the one on the way to work, etc.  That was the best thing because no one is enforcing a quit date on you."


"Found this medication to be completely ineffective in treating my allergy symptoms.  Not only was I up urinating many times during the night but when I got out of bed my eyes were tearing, my sinuses were swollen and I was very drowsy. I believe this drug to be just another heavily promoted batch of promises that simply does not deliver.  And yes..this stuff is not inexpensive to say the least.  Save your money and just buy the home brand of antihistamine."


"Hello, I had Nexplanon inserted April 2015.  I've been reading these reviews randomly since before I had the procedure inserted. I rated the product overall a 9. It's great, it does the job. I tried the pill first. The pill gets the job done if you are responsible and can remember to take it at the same time.  Too bad I am not responsible. I came to the conclusion to give Nexplanon a chance. The whole process was quick and easy. But yes everything that everyone is saying about bleeding is true. I started bleed about two week after I got it. To make a long story short, I bled for about 3 to 4 months. Lately, my periods have been 2 weeks instead of the whole month. I've had Nexplanon for nine months. No babies."


"This medicine has been a wonder drug for my mother.  She was having thoughts that people were being killed and people hated her.  She was running off and we had to constantly keep an eye on her.  We could not leave her alone for a second because we didn't know what thoughts were going through her mind or what she would do next.  After a week of being on Zyprexa her life returned to normal.  She has been on the medication for over a year and life is good and back to normal.  She has gained 10 pounds the last year.  So far this is the only side effect the medication has had on her.  We can only hope the medication continues to work for years to come. This is our MIRACLE DRUG for right now. My mother is 86."


"I have been on Plaquenil since 1996 when I was diagnosed with RA.  When I was diagnosed I was in severe pain, unable to hold my infant child or drive.  My rheumatologist injected me with steroids to get me immediate relief and started me on Plaquenil. I don't remember my initial dosage but I take 200mg once per day and have been in remission since 1996 and I have had no side effects that I am aware of. I have regular eye exams and periodic screenings by a retinologist and my eyes have had no issues at all."


"I have had major depression for 10 years.  I had been on handfuls of different antidepressant medicines and found that not one worked.  I had also had suicidal feelings.  My doctor put me on Viibryd and I am a totally different person.  Aside from having diarrhea, which I can totally live with, this medication has changed my life.  I no longer feel depressed.  I have a new love of life, I am not short tempered with my family.  I feel extremely good, and have patience, which I haven't had in years.  Thank God for Viibryd.  I have been getting samples from the doctor, so I hope that I can afford to keep taking it.  It has made a HUGE difference in my life."


"I've been on Saxenda for a month. I've lost 10 pounds and feel amazing. Finally I have a weight loss medication without side effects."


"I was on this medicine for almost three years and went off of it cold turkey because I thought I was better. Worst mistake of my life in 2013! A month or so ago I was put back on the medicine, just not quite as a high of a dose (800mg). I am now on 300mg and it has once again changed my life. I am happy again, feel like me, don't crave alcohol or other pills, and the mood swings have pretty much dissipated. This medicine is amazing and a life saver."


"Excellent results, but without insurance it cost about 275.00 a bottle (too expensive)."


"The 10 is for effectiveness, but for nothing else. Generess kept me baby free. I have Endometriosis, why my dr prescribed this med, and my cycle is only 2 days but still pretty heavy. But oh the side effects. I'm 21, breaking out worse than I did even going through puberty. My appetite has spiked, I've gained about 8 lbs, and can't seem to get it off with my usual gym/boxing class regimen, I already practice a mostly yeast-free eating lifestyle and still nothing helped. Further- my anxiety is OFF THE CHARTS, I have a history with depression but haven't actually experienced it like this in years- which adds to the constant fatigue. Switching to Mirena this cycle- I hope your experience is better than mine!!"


"I was told that birth control can take up to 3 full months to start working for acne & 4-6 months to see full results. I started to notice my skin clearing around 2.5 months. It's been almost 3.5 months now and my skin is 99% clear of active breakouts. This is the first birth control I have ever used and I have not had any negative side effects from this at all. The only reason I am not giving it a 10 is because it has not helped regulate the oil production on my face at all, but you can't win them all. Overall I am very happy with this pill and can't wait to see how my skin continues to improve."


"I feel it's important to share because as a mom I was on line in the middle of the night searching for answers for my daughter. She is 13 and has anxiety. At 4 she had night terrors and then would pass out with any pain. She started to be difficult to take to school in 4th grade due to the fear of throwing up. She was put on Lexapro after my great hesitation as she was so young. It helped a little. When 7th grade hit her body was 2 seconds from fight or flight. Frequent panic attacks were long and exhausting. Long story short she had genetic testing done and Effexor was on her list of Med's that should work. She is like night and day after around four weeks. Its about finding the right med for you. Genetic testing is a start."


"I'm 5'9. I started taking this medication 11/14. I weighed 315lbs. I wanted something to help guide me in the right direction. When I started I made a commitment to myself that I would go paleo. Which I did. I also exercise 2-3 times a day. Now 7 months later I've lost 190lbs. I can't tell you how much this medication has helped me save my life. Not once during these 7 months have I had anything sweet. I drink nothing but water. Not to mention stopped taking a pill everyday and take one every few days. My doctor never put me on anything higher than the 7.5mg bc I lost weight so rapidly. I have no desire for anything bad to eat with or without the medication. The only bad thing I can say is that I have a ton of excess skin!!"


"This medicine is amazing! I have suffered from a bulging disc and facet joint issues for a year with little lasting relief from injections. I was prescribed Cymbalta a little over a month ago and by the 3rd or 4th day on it I was almost literally pain free. I was afraid to say it out loud for fear that I would jinx myself because it was almost too good to be true. Now after being on it for 5 weeks I can workout and get back into my exercise regimen with little to no pain. This has truly been a lifesaver! I did have tiredness and low motivation during the first two weeks, but my body seems very acclimated to it now. I do sweat a lot at night, but I can live with it. Love this medication."


"I took this pill 10 days before my period. And took it 37 hours within the 72 hour required. It made me tired and I had headaches, more than usual. Then round the time of my period I was a little worried, and the day before my period I started to spot for 3 days. It was suppose to come on June 14. So I was even more worried. Then come Monday and thank God, my period came. I never been more excited for my period to come until now!! IT WORKS."


"I've had it in for almost 2 years and have bled pretty much constantly in that time! I've put on 15kg. I'm moody lazy and bloated all the time. My life is horrible since having it. I have tried to have it removed 3 times now but Dr keep saying just wait a few more months things will settle. Mmm not likely. I will be changing Dr and having it removed"


"Followed the instructions. Two (2) of the shots were defective (Out of 6).  One was harmless and did not fire which only cost me $100 for the non performing shot.  The other did nothing until it fired accidentally into my eye.  Seeking regulatory and legal help."


"I increased from 5mg to 10mg of butrans patch 3 days ago. My pain has eased quite a bit. However I'm getting this weird buzzing noises constantly in my head it increases when I blink to. Feels weird and irritating to. Wondering if this is anything to worry about. Feel really lightheaded and drowsy."


"This drug has been a nightmare . I have experienced unexplained bone pain in lower left leg and a breakout of  bleeding gums and mouth sensitivity. I did not get any info from prescribing endodocrinologist except that it was a safe drug and that he had prescribed it to his mother!  This has been a very expensive lesson in terms of dental cost and extremely detrimental to my health and well- being."


"Worst cream ever, it literally burnt my face, I couldn't apply anything to my face for weeks because it was so painful, my skin became excessively flaky and sensitive I couldn't even wash it, because the skin was so sensitive. Waste of money"


"I am 14, and I started using Doryx about a month ago. It hasn't worked for me, actually within the first few weeks my acne got worst, bigger, redder, and more painful pimples on my face.  In the dermatologist's office he said if this doesn't work in a month give me a call and we will give you something else. So I called him today, and he tells me to use it for another month. Do you really think I want my acne to get worse. NO! I was skeptical so I got online. Some reviews say it worked instantly, others say it took months, and some even say it never worked. I guess I will keep using it for another month, but if it doesn't clear my skin I will go back to my dermatologist."


"I switched from orsynthia to kariva due to painful sex. I was cautious to try it seeing all the bad reviews but I'm glad I read them considering I had many of the same problems. First of all, your period SHOULD come during the first two days of the placebo week, that didn't happen. I got my period at the very end of the week each time with bad cramps. Flow wasn't terrible still kind of heavy for birth control though. I also didn't like was how many headaches I would get; at least 3-4 a week. I would also feel very foggy and tired all the time. My appetite has definitely changed on this also, I would constantly want to eat all the junk food I could find. Didn't gain much weight but still. Boobs also got bigger. I'm changing back to orsynthia!"


"I have been using Daypro for 15 months for rheumatoid arthritis. I have arthritis in my wrists, neck and I need a knee replacement. Daypro has helped about 80%"


"Well I've been taking this for five day now. After taking Levaquin for three days I was finally able to eat and actually taste food again."


"I love this.  If I don't take it, I ALWAYS end up with a sinus infection and a trip to the Dr.  When I do take it, I don't sleep as well, but I'm not tired in between.  My major issue is that I am always constipated when I take Allegra-D and my periods are excruciatingly painful.  "


"I was put on the birth control because I had a very large fibroid that caused me to have a blood transfusion.  This pill saved my life until I was able to have surgery.  The only   negative thing I experienced was a little weight gain (no more than 10 lbs).  My periods went from extremely heavy lasting 7 days, to very light only lasting 2 and a half days, to staying completely off.  And for someone who was dangerously anemic, I'll take not having a period!"


"Have had fms for 8yrs. Have tried all sorts of meds & have been on fentanyl 75mcg every 48 hrs for the last few years. Fentanyl for fms is like a heavy bat for the wrong ball but was the only bat available.

I have been taking Lyrica for 1 1/2 yrs now. Had 1st pain free days in years when 1st started. Unfortantely, still on fentanyl in addition because I cannot take more then 50mg a day of lyrica w/o it knocking me out. Tried to build tolerance over 3 wks w/o success. Have had wild vision changes also."


"Burn, burn, burn!!!! Do not take this product without consulting your doctor first. Made everything worse, first night I had to sleep with an ice pack on my bottom. Second night was all I could take stomach pain, burning, itching all over my bottom. Ended up washing it all out, icing again and took two benadryl."


"Just as a warning, I got rushes of aggression on Abilify. My psych said that is not uncommon, as the medicine does not suit everyone."


"I've been taking Celexa 20mg for almost six months, and it has helped me with my social anxiety. It's a lot easier to use the strategies that my psychologist talks about. However, a warning must be given. Celexa has not been a 'magic bullet'. I still have to do a lot of work to not be anxious. However, it has helped me so much that I can't think about quitting any time soon."


"This medication is great, it gave me no side effects at all. Although it takes time to reach its full therapeutic effect its worth the wait.  This medication helps me calm down reduces agitation, anxiety, and panic.  For me it has been better than the other faster acting drugs for agitation, anxiety, panic that I've tried in the past."


"The worst inhaler I've ever used.  I feel like absolutely nothing comes out of the inhaler, and it doesn't help me at all.  I'll be asking my Dr. about another type, because this one is just terrible."


"Cymbalta (and lots of prayers) saved my marriage.  I'm so thankful that my husband is taking it."


"Words can not describe it.  The medication has turned my life around.  I still can not believe what it has done for me.  My mind has slowed down so much without taking away my ability to think sharply.  I am truly happy.  Anger, irritation, racing thoughts are almost completely gone.  I am Bi Polar 1 with GAD and depression.  I too am a mixed episode/rapid cycle guy.  This med has givin me my life back.  I have been shedding anxiety and sleep meds left and right.  If you can't afford it, please look to Canada.  You can get generic Saphris (asenapine) very, very reasonable.  It could well be worth going through a reputable Canadian pharmacy."


"I have never reviewed a medicine before. I've suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for almost 7 years now. I'm very sensitive to medicine and I've tried Lexapro, Wellbutrin, celexa, and one more that I can't remember. I've also had to use klonopin as a back up. I hate taking medicine because it always makes me feel weird and that exacerbates my anxiety. It's been 4 weeks and this has been amazing! I don't feel weird or unlike myself, I haven't had to take emergency klonopin once, I was just promoted and have had the most stressful 7 weeks of work I've ever experienced and I feel great! Amazing medicine, I'm glad I gave it one last shot with this. Life changing."


"I have been on aviane for 4 packs now and at first there was spotting for about the first three weeks. Then I had an increased sex drive, but it quickly returned to normal after about a week. In the past 6 weeks I have been having a problem with cranker sores in my mouth. Im not sure if they are due to the pill but otherwise I think its a good BC pill."


"Ok, I have chronic Nausea. I have tried Zofran, Promethazine, and Hydroxyzine. They did help my nausea, but not enough. So my psychiatrist Rx'd me Lorazepam 1mg 3x daily, along with Hydroxyzine 25mg 4x daily, and my Nausea is completely gone! Promethazine worked better than Hydroxyzine for me, but my psychiatrist stated Hydroxyzine works better with Benzodiazepines. While Promethazine works better with Opiates. So I took her word for it. Now I feel AMAZING. Lorazepam is an excellent medication."


"Believe it or not I had it since I was 9 years old. Kids would pick on me and it would make me cry and as an teenager I cried because every product was promising me that they can get rid of it. It hurt because nothing worked.I was tired of little kids asking me how I got the ouches on my face, and people looking at my face, not my eyes. I even had it on my back chest and arms. Accutane works!"


"I just had Nexplanon placed 6/4/13. The process was simple enough, the only pain I felt was the numbing process, then just tugging sensations as the Doctor placed the insert. Where my arm was cut has been slow to heal, but it is getting there. My biggest scare was that it would come out, it is still there so far! I haven't had any adverse side effects, only itching which I assume is my arm healing. I have been on pills since I was 15, so 16 years later I am excited to try a new method that I don't have to think about everyday. A friend recommended it to me and I would definitely recommend it anyone!"


"I started on Sertraline at 50mg where it made me feel VERY bad for the first few days, I fainted, felt sick and could not do a thing I felt so depressed. Gradually the side effects wore off apart from dry mouth and needing to pee at night but then the doctor increased it to 100mg because I felt the exact same as before I took the tablets and now I still get stomach pain everyday and feel awful, the side effects just aren't going away and I want off them now."


"I was on this med for a little over a week. Right off it made me feel great everything was good. And I really liked it and I was happy I found something that worked. But after a week it started to make me really really  hungry I could not get rid of the hunger. So I had to stop taking it. I have a hard time to find a med. that works. I had the genetic tests done and there is a lot of meds I can't take. So it is hard to find one that works. I have ADHD and there is not much meds I can take. Vyvanse was a  question but it worked well just made me hungry. I wished it did not make me hungry. Now I hope my Doctor puts me on another ADHD med."


"Been on it for 20 days. No difference in hunger except for about 1 week. No weight loss!"


"After having a scary experience with the mirena, I decided to be put on the pill. I took this birth control for 2 1/2 weeks & I was either extremely nauseous or vomiting everyday that I had taken it. I quit taking it about 2 days ago and have felt fine since."


"I have never in my entire life experienced such pain and I'm a mother of 4! I put the vagina assassin in about an hour ago and I'm pretty sure this is to motivate you to kill your self. I called my mother and set up my funeral and will. This needs to be taken off the shelves!"


"Very good medication; no complications."


"poisonous taste in mouth

can't sleep

excessive sweating"


"Hi had mine removed after 18 months. Although it is effective the side affects are awful. Extreme fatigue!! Was the worst, instantly felt myself again after having it removed. Put on weight but only because I had no energy. I got really bad deep spots something which I had never suffered from before, some which left scars on my face. I also bled randomly, although it very light it was most days. I had bled for 3 weeks straight when I had it out. I'd never use it again."


"I began taking Yasmin when it first came out i.e. around 1999 or so for irregular periods. My PCP recommended birth control, and after researching them all I chose Yasmin as it touted the fact that the Progestin (drospirenone) contained a diuretic. After a few months I started having anxiety, insomnia, and eventually horrible depression. On the upside, because the drospirenone is an anti-androgenic progestin, my hair grew incredibly long and thick and stupid vanity kept me on it. On balance, I would not suggest this pill as a form of birth control for anyone. I eventually gained 15 lbs after a couple of years of use, and was an emotional wreck which impacted my career. My hormones never really returned to normal after stopping it either."


"This medicine was given as an alternative to Xifaxan because my insurance won't cover Xifaxan. My Doctor says there is a 60% chance it will work. I am on Day 5 of 10 and have seen no results as of yet with no relief of my symptoms. Side effects the first couple of days were brutal, I think my body has begun to adjust now."


"I have been on benzodiazzepines on and off since I was 20..I'm now 51. Specifically, clonanzepam for the last 3-4 years. It's the ONLY one out of the many medications that I've been prescribed over the last 30 years that remains effective. I'm also on methadone. Many studies state that there is a major interaction of these two medicines. I have been on this regimen for almost 4 years and it has been nothing but helpful in maintaining a "normal" lifestyle. Whatever "normal" is!"


"I am diabetic also long time smoker who quit 5 years ago. Sex hasnt been right for a while. Got a prescription for 20mg tabs. Read about the side effects and decided to try cutting the pill in thirds. Had sex three hours later. Amazing! Like being 20 again. Tiny headache for an hour the next day. Seems to be working fine on the third day."


"I've had nexplanon for about a year. I HATE IT. I've had trouble sleeping (too much sleeping) weight gain, constantly having "periods" and I've been Extremely moody.. I want it out but I've had the pill, shot and now this. It's NOT worth it. I just want to feel normal again."


"Liver transplant 8 years ago. No Problems."


"Although this drug has successfully lowered my blood pressure, I have experienced a cough that has continued to get worse.  This is not just a slight nuisance cough that the doctor suggested might happen.  This is a constant cough.  (I have met 2 other people with this same problem.)  I have stopped taking Lisinopril and will question my doctor about it."


"Hi! I have done many searches over the past few months.  I have felt so alone as I've tried to find what works. My dr prescribed Wellbutrin XL 150. The pharmacy filled it with the generic bupropion XL mft  by Actavis--round white non coated pill imprinted with 141. I could tell positive results almost immediately!Excellent!! Secondly it was filled mft by Par--small white round coated pill A101. Side effects were terrible! Third was supposedly by Actavis but Actavis bought out Watson. Watson is white round coated with WPI 3331.  No results whatsoever. Placebo?? So out of three, I can no longer find any generic effective. Actavis has let us down, having once had a wonderful generic but now it is useless. I am now going to name brand."


"So I was on Lexapro 20mg for 3 months and it helped somewhat with my very SEVERE depression that I was suffering from with severe anxiety, It was HELL! So my next appointment with the nurse practitioner I was prescribed bupropionXL and she told me to add it to my lexapro and too take both together, but as soon as I started too take them both I got very emotionally sad and numb, so my sister told me to stop taking the lexapro to give the bupropion a chance to work on its own and that has helped so much because now I feel a lot better then before and I'm only taking 150mg XL. Just wanted to share my experience with anyone."


"It's wonderful I went to get mine put in today! I have to say before I  actually did the  insertion I was scared to death bc I googled and read reviews! It was nothing like some of theses reviews are! It was very quick maybe a  minute! It was a breeze my doctor said okay you going to feel a pinch and it was over! Just slightly cramping during the  procedure!"


"I have a US ARMY service connected disability including GERD and BARRETT'S. The VA has subscribed OMEPRAZOLE or equivalent for the past 30 years (at least) The RX calls for 3 caps daily. However I only take 2, AM & PM. I can eat anything I want with no side effects. I have never in all these years ever been told about a time limit, 7 days. 14 days or any days\ ! !
I can only say that I can not be without these capsules, PERIOD. I guess the time limits must vary with each patient as I have NEVER had a problem.... I am now 86 years OLD !"


"Every been on Sprintec for approximately 3 years. I experienced extreme nausea initially, until I learned it's best to take the medication at night. My mild acne subsided significantly and still to this day seems non-existent. Everything seemed to be great with this pill until the last 6 months or so. My sex drive has taken a nose dive. Also, mood swings have become way too frequent. It's like I can't shake this dark cloud. One day I'm feeling a tad better and then I'm down again. Although this pill has been great physically, it's not worth my emotional health. I will more than likely have my doctor prescribe something else."


"I started taking this medicine 4 months ago for my nerve pain in low dose of 10 mg twice a day and maybe a bit for depression. It does not help at all for the pain but it does help to fall asleep faster and for my mood."


"I started depakote 3,000mg straight off when I was 15 years old  I have since been taken off from it and still paying the price for it. It made me hungry constantly i gained a total of 50 pounds in 7 months I had no energy at all and no feelings no happy thoughts no sad thoughts I was literally a zombie and now I'm still seeing new doctors and switching meds all the time and I've had enough nothing is working and no one can help me I really need help and can't find it anywhere"


"Oh my goodness.. I am 34 was 20 weeks pregnant and developed high bp.   delievered my still born at  24 weeks was on metorprolol and norvasc to maintain..   once Delivered bp seemed to level out some. dr released. bp went crazy with no meds. went to fam dr. he prescribe linisopril. bp still high and increasing.  he increased.med. and added metoprolol back. headache hurt all over  hard to speak with out thinking how to speak first. hurt in upper back.stomach aching, slept alot, numbness tingling in arms and hands, gained weight, anxiety. took norvasc and skipped linisopril  headache lots better not completely gone with first dose aching else where gone. numbness lots better. no confusion when speaking no anxiety,"


"After 12 years of various medications to treat my Bipolar I I have finally found true stability and my new normal. No more mood swings no more panic attacks-literally gone. All I take is 3mg of vraylar now after years of being on 3, 4 sometimes 5 meds. This is truly a miracle drug for me. I am on such an even keel I had no idea I could ever live like this. So grateful."


"I am into week 2 of taking Seroquel for Bipolar disorder.  The main side effects that I am noticing are the feeling about 20 minutes after taking it (makes me feel the same way Trazadone did when I took it for insomnia), and the cloudiness the next day.  I have had several situations where something will come up, and I'll recall a conversation or physical activity that I truly think happened, but I cannot determine if I dreamed it or if it really happened.  But, I am already noticing a major difference in the way I feel and am able to concentrate and interact while at work, and even with family (in a good way).  Since it's only been 2 weeks, of course I am going to give it a little more time."


"After experiencing constipation for several days, I woke up one morning with a physical problem that I was certain would require not only medical attention but also surgical removal.  Even though my doctor assured me I would be okay, I was still skeptical.  He advised that I should take Miralax every 3 hours until I have a "cleansing bowel movement".  After my second dose, I had success.  Now I take 1 dose every other night.  I highly recommend this product."


"I started taking contrave 2 weeks ago to treat overeating and lose weight. For the first 2 days have been taking 1 pill in the morning and it caused nausea, so shifted the pill to the evening (together with a bigger meal). By the end of the first week nausea stopped. The effect of the medication became detectable after first week: decreased feeling of hunger, I stopped overeating, cravings decreased, too. In addition, my mood improved. I had problems with depression and lack of sexual drive previously and have suddenly discovered that I feel much more pleasure when having sex now when I'm on contrave. That is a nice addition.

So far I had no side effects except nausea, and after 2 weeks I feel no side effects."


"This medication has been huge for me, I don't run to the restroom as often, my pain is way better, the only side effects I have are dry mouth, loss of appetite and blurry vision,"


"Within several hours of taking Pletal for my leg pains due to PAD I began to experience severe headaches. I stayed on the medicine for one week hoping it would subside. It remained constant so I discontinued taking it."


"*5 month update* I've had Kyleena for about 5 months now. I posted a review before. Since then I still have A) never had a period, barely spotting. B) Acne has seemed to calm down (back acne was bad at first out of nowhere) I have noticed once or twice every couple months I will wake up and have pretty intense cramping, sweats nausea that comes and goes in waves. Feels like a painful awful hangover.. but I'll take it over any other BC side effects. Still really recommend Kyleena."


"I've been on Aviane for a few weeks now and it's done me pretty good. My chest size increased after the first week and a half but no other weight was added. I have noticed I've been excessively moody in the days leading up to my period but that could also just be stress too. Other than that it's been good to me and I plan to keep it around as long as needed."


"During my first week I had aura migraines, so bad that I vomitted at times. I'm a month and 4 days into pack 2 and I've had horrible anxiety, depression, decrease in sex drive, loss of appetite and nausea! This has been the worst experience of my life! I'd rather be pregnant."


"After contracting a rare form of cancer called Merkel cell, after taking an immune system suppressing medicine, I used Soriatane with great results. My psoriasis was completely clear while on this. After about 1 year, my dermatologist took me off the medicine stating that my liver could be affected if I stayed on it long term. He said my liver converted the Soritane to some form of chemical that was harmful to the liver.
"


"Pristiq gives me energy and brings me up from the deep depression when no other anti-depressant can.   I haven't had to take a huge dose to get that effect either, which is fantastic."


"I am an 18 year old guy who has struggled with moderate acne for years. I have tried everything from benzoyl peroxide to salicylic acid and more. Recently, I went to the derm and got prescribed with epiduo, aczone, and doxycycline hyclate pills. I also wash my face with cetaphil bar soap. I have been using these things for 2 weeks and I have broken out more and my face got dried out and red. Should I continue this treatment or look for something else? Any comments/feedback/tips will be greatly appreciated."


"I ended up in the ER three days after starting it feeling like I couldn't sit still and I was going crazy. I was shaking, feeling short of breath and feeling suicidal. "


"have been taking them for two days now and have seen no change in my cough, especially at night, I coughed all night.
tempted to go to the drugstore tomorrow and ask for something they can recommend.
I think tonight I am going to take something else."


"Yeah. If you want a good decongestant, Mucinex D is for you.

Took my first dose at 4 PM, warned that it could cause "sleeplessness". Thought I was in the clear, but LOW AND BEHOLD I am hear writing this review to the world after that one dose. Current time: 7:15 AM. Taking another just to keep me up for class today. Hurray."


"I started this BC for severe bleeding and it was a horrible experience. I am 33 years old and this is the worst BC pill I have ever used. I bled for 12 days straight during my first period while on this pill. It has also caused my face to break out horribly and awful mood swings. It has also caused me to be severely bloated. I would not recommend this to anyone."


"I have finished my first pack and started on my second pack. I absolutely love this birth control. I have had no extra weight gain (I'm a steady 120), I have had no acne break outs, I haven't spotted and my periods are light. I was so nervous to try it, but I'm glad I did. Like they say it all depends how it interacts with your body, so try it for yourself."


"Relpax works well most of the time, but occasionally it doesn't get rid of all the pain of a migraine.  It takes about 40 minutes to stop the aura and flashing lights, and begins to attack the migraine pain.  Overall it's okay. Why is it so expensive, though?  "


"It's been terrible I have my period all the time. I've had to be put on depression/anxiety medicine. I've also gained 20lbs that I can not lose! I would never recommend this birth control to any one. Even though I know it's just about impossible to become pregnant I constantly feel like I am! It makes me quite nervous!"


"I've taken Apri for about 2 years and I loved it at first! I was on Yaz before but it was getting way to expensive so I switched. My face has cleared up but I still break out often and on Yaz I was completely acne free. My sex drive has vanished along with when I am in the mood I have horrid vaginal dryness and I've gained weight in my lower parts. However, my cup size is now much bigger."


"I only took this drug for 3 days before ending up in the psych unit from a psychotic episode. I had never had one before, mind you. My Dr. warned me, also, when he gave me the Rx, to watch for symptoms of such an episode. He did not go on to tell me specifically what those symptoms would be like and I had no idea what this could entail. He said the drug had/has been known to cause these episodes. Just telling me to watch for symptoms though...by the time I starting having the symptoms, I was too paranoid to be able to do anything about it or even realize what was happening since I had never had such an episode. It was the scariest thing I've ever experienced in my life and I still have nightmares and anxiety about the things experienced in my head and thoughts during the time of the episode that lasted for 2 weeks, even while in the hospital. I would love to sue the pants off the makers and that doctor, who, by the way, when my mother called my doctor for help, he stated "Since she won't talk to me, I am not her doctor anymore as of this moment." I wouldn't get on the phone because I was in the middle of a psychotic episode and thought everyone was trying to kill me. Great doctor, huh?!

DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


"It worked almost immediately ! I had my dosage moved to two tablet twice a day and then back down to one tablet twice a day for every twelve hrs. The only thing Is I have a difficult time with regulating my body temperatures. When I get hot I get REALLY hot and it takes awhile to cool down. When I get cold I get REALLY colds and it gets hard to get warm again and so on. I've had the twitching of the arm and hands as well and I have been nauseous. But really it works ! I just still deal with being hot and cold at times."


"I've been taking the generic version of this drug for about 4 months. Gradually, I've been feeling more and more depressed and hopeless. I have no history of depression or any emotional issues, and just yesterday I couldn't get myself off the floor to leave the house. I've also gained weight, have an increase in body hair, and my sex drive is completely gone. I'm 28, far from puberty or menopause. The only good thing about the pill is my period are extremely light, sometimes it doesn't even come at all. I am switching immediately to a lower hormone pill because the depression is now interfering with my life and relationships and I know it's not normal. I am a student and my insurance completely covers it."


"I have taken Zyrtec or the over the counter with a similar name like Walzyr, anyway, other than a rare occasional large hive, and probably due to missing a dose.  I have been great.

But I got this idea (to save more money) that I should have the doctor prescribe citirizine generic.  You would think that would be OK, but I have been broke out in fine hives and a few welts.  Also some spots that are a little dry like my eczema.   My skin has never ITCHED this extremely.  First I had it on upper right arm. WHICH HAS FINALLY RECOVERED, BUT... It continues to move and I break out, all over the last 26 to 28 days. I am switching back to the drug I used before. We will see if it a medication issue.  Wish me luck!"


"Menopause was my downfall. Started using .10 back in 2011. I was 225 5'9". Immediately helped to curb my appetite .  Along with exercise I got down to 162. Went from a size 16 to a 10. It was hard work and worth every bit of it. I fluctuate from 170-174. Still eating right and exercising and I feel fab.  You can't just take it and think the weight will magically come off.  Its not a diet, It's a lifestyle change."


"After smoking a pack a day for about 10 years, Champix helped me quit and stay quit. It is very effective and I highly recommend it."


"I have been on Contrave 3 weeks and the hunger is gone.  I am getting annoying headaches and wonder if those will stop eventually.  I used to drink wine with dinner and the craving for that has gone as well!  I have los 6 lbs. so far and feel quite well otherwise.  Will the headaches go away?"


"I took plan B after a night of unprotected sex.  After consulting my period app I realized I was definitely at the fertile time.  We had sex around midnight and I took the pill around 11am the next day.  I was due to start my period the following week.  The week after taking it I had my normal premenstrual symptoms.  Mainly breast tenderness and they were more plump.  Once I was late I immediately started reading reviews and effectiveness.  There were several people who were late on their period like I was, and complained of the breast tenderness.  So I kept waiting hoping I was just going to be late.  As of today I am 9 days late so I took a pregnancy test and I'm definitely pregnant."


"I got Implanon in on October 2013, after a month my cycle of period has become strange. Starting off being light(spotting) for a week or two, then stopped. But after a while (a week) really heavy like soaking super tampon in 10 mins. That continued a day or two, then light again, lasting for more than 1-2 months at a time, stopping and starting of blood flow during a period. I also experienced cramping and  bloating sometimes, started to gain weight after three month gained 5 kg in three month, some mood swing (but not too bad) I've got it removed of course."


"I was prescribed Phentermine by my psychiatrist because I gained 30 pounds on Saphris (which I use to help me sleep). I've been on Phentermine for over 3 months now and I've already lost the 30 pounds and then some, I've gone down 2 pants sizes with the only side effect being occasional dizziness, which is a small price to pay! I highly recommend it for rapid weight loss!"


"Painful osteoarthritis in both thumbs; Celebrex works but side-effects terrifying. GP prescribed these. I expected same relief with fewer side effects (s-e's)--possible s-e's turn out to be same.  Have used for only 24 hours with some pain relief.  But try cutting these in half and wrapping around thumb down to lower joint, surprised they stay on fairly well but they are ugly white, I can't wear out of the house.  Besides, nowhere does it say they are for arthritis pain, just minor aches, sprains, strains etc.  Afraid to use continually or long term due to s-e's.  Terribly expensive for just an NSAID with terrible potential side-effects. (1 box with insurance $140, on retirement)"


"Could get erection, but not always very hard and didn't always last long enough.. 20mg gave me firmness and lasts long.

Stuffiness (that night) and slight headache(next morning)."


"I gave it a 2 is because I never got pregnant on it. After much research I decided Implanon was my best bet, since I wouldn't have insurance anymore. The first couple of months were good, until I got a period that never ended. After 2 months of bleeding I got on birth control pills to regulate my period. I was good for 2 months, then started the bleeding again. I basically had my period for 3-4 weeks, then spotted for 2, and *if* I was lucky, had 2 weeks period free. I gained about 20 pounds in the first 3 months, which I could not lose no matter what I did. Mood swings were awful, at one point I was depressed. My skin got bumpy. Finally got insurance to take it out. "


"I've been on 200mg Zoloft daily for the last 6 years and finally have a manageable, stable life, a positive attitude, I'm creative, no depression at all...My craving for alcohol disappeared after 20 years of drinking...I'm a whole new man, thank you! My mother is happy to have her son back..."


"I suffered a compression fracture at L2, and I have had a failed posterior lumbar interbody fusion at L4 five and L5 S one. I am disabled and only want a life that is worth living. My New pain management physician started me early this week on Nucynta ER 100 mg every 12 hours, and for break through pain to take oxycodone acetaminophen 10/325 four times daily. I'm not getting much relief from the Nucynta ER 100 mg. I am very disappointed. I will consult with my doctor to see what he feels I should do. I am so unhappy with our government, that is harassing people that are 10 times more educated than they are, on "proper prescribing behavior" for the treatment of chronic pain. This is a disgrace to the USA!"


"this medicine works fairly well, i take the appropriate dosage, no complaints but weight gain."


"I take 300mg of Wellbutrin XL daily along with Lexapro and have for over a year now. It seems to be a good mix, but definitely don't take more than the recommended dosage. "


"I found the weight loss experience to be excellent.  HOWEVER, this Rx is so dangerous, that after 3 weeks I ended up with a first time ever serious gout episode with permanent tophi on my fingers, and also kidney stones.  Finally, after stopping, I continued some weight loss, but also became seriously depressed, and fatigued.... This is NOT a good idea unless you are already at risk for death from your obesity."


"I am a 17 year old girl, an acne sufferer for nearly 8 years now. This is the end of week 1 on Tretinoin 0.025 and my face is peeling and itchy but I know to expect worse breakouts before the better results. My problem area for acne, however, has not been my face in five years. It's always been my back and shoulders. While I'm noticing a fade in scars already, I'm going to keep an eye on it. I wish I'd been prescribed a moisturizer or at least told to find one. "


"I love the fact of not having a period for 3 months, but there is absolutely NO sexdrive during the whole three months of taking the pill except for the first week after your period. I had breakthrough bleeding for about a month but it stopped after I started the next pack. I have no other side effects but the whole no sex drive thing kinda sucks"


"After experiencing horrid headaches during the placebo week of the pill, I opted for Mirena. I had been on the pill for 5 years. The insertion was painful, however, after a minute or two I felt no pain. There was light spotting for the first 2 weeks, but no spotting since (now 1.5 years in). I have had no periods since having Mirena inserted. I rarely think about the IUD. Every few months I'll get a brief cramp and remember "oh yeah no more cramps, periods, or birth control pills!" I did experience pretty bad hormonal acne along my jaw line, but this is because I was on the pill and went off it. If you rely on the pill for acne treatment be prepared to head back to the doctor for a topical treatment."


"Garbage compared to Rub on Relief  I used half a tube of Voltaren with little effect except being poorer for the price , so avoid wasting money in the Volataren"


"Started Crestor Jan 1 2017, in mid Feb I started having severe CAN'T BREATH episodes gasping for air, dypsnea, throat swelling & closing, very hoarse, chest pain, chest burning, erratic racing pulse -- and months of feeling horrible. After countless trips to the doctor, CT scans of sinuses, throat and lungs, multiple rounds of antibiotics & steroids for assumed lingering bronchitis, the same doc that put me on Crestor had no idea how to help me and sent me to an ENT-- who could see me 3 weeks later! Meanwhile, symptoms worsening. I felt like a 90 year old. A friend who had had an allergic reaction to a drug recognized symptoms of anaphylactyic allergic reaction. Off crestor 2.5 wks; getting better but google says 1-2 months to get out of system"


"I had pinched nerve on my left arm which later affected my left leg for almost four months. The mentioned part's of my body was numb with tingling sensation. My both foot was burning! I went for a CT scan and they found that my brain was OK. Did staving diabetics test and was also OK. A doctor prescribed to me a drug called Neurocare plus which worsened it up. They later gave me Lyrica which worsened it up. After reading about Prednislone, i decided buy them over the counter in Africa. Initially i was afraid to use it when i read about immense negative side effects it can cause.I gave it a shot and in a day all terrible sensations were all gone! i used 5 mg for 2 weeks and all the pain on my muscles were also gone!!!! thanks to the drug!"


"Best (and most expensive) medication I've ever been on. I've  been prescribed to every other SSRI and they gave me side effects of sleepiness, and indifference. I have only experienced a slight nausea for about 2 hours, 15 minutes after I take my Trintellix. This only lasted the first two weeks. The nausea is the only reason I give this a 9/10. Anxiety and paranoia have been greatly reduced, energy is amazing and no sleepiness or indifference. Had genetic testing done and I am deficient in folic acid and don't produce it on my own. I complement the Trintellix with methylfolate by biotics lab (Deplin is expensive). I'm happier than I've ever been and no sexual dysfunctions have happened so I am extremely thankful for this medication"


"Zoloft is an excellent medication for treating obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, and anxiety..all of which I have. Ever since I started taking it I have been so much happier and worry free. However I am 24 years old and I enjoy to go out to the bar with my friends..and let me tell you. If you want to drink on this medication, be advised that it will completley cancel the drug out. Everytime I drink I have severe anxiety the next day. But other than that I would recomend this drug"


"So I got my skyla inserted and it was honestly the worst pain of my entire life. My doctor had told me that I would feel some cramping but during and especially after I could not even breathe. I sat up after it was over and started sweating, my ears started to ring and I then passed out! When I woke up I was in the worst pain I have ever felt. I drove myself to the doctor but I had to have someone come get me because I couldn't even stand up. The rest of the day I had extreme cramping. Still debating on whether to take it out or not because it doesn't feel comfortable."


"I could cry with joy! I used to sleep all day, with crippling physical/mental fatigue. After 7 years of being ignored by MDs, I found a pdoc who takes me seriously. Prescribed Modafinil but insurance wouldn't p. auth. Ritalin lost effect after ~2 days. Adderall IR made me so angry I screamed/swore at people (I never do that). Progressed from 10mg XR in am to 30(currently). Kicks in after ~1 hour & keeps me awake/alert til evening. Also struggle with severe MDD & body dysmorphia & adderall gives me some hope & makes me hate the girl in the mirror less. Only side effects: slightly raised heart beat & loss of appetite. No trouble falling asleep. Please consider XR if you struggle with fatigue/MDD & your pdoc thinks it's a good idea."


"I've never experienced acne, a few black heads, pre-menstrual pimple, but after 29th bday my lower jaw, sides of face broke out horribly. I scheduled appts, had hormones checked, obgyn, everything. dermatologist gave aczone & Cetaphil (Derma Control for oily(purple label) or they also have another non-oily skin wash/etc! OTC, pricey but WORTH it) 2x daily face wash and 2x daily moisturizer. Also Minocycline 1x in am, 30-60 days plus a second face cream for pm use 2 minutes after aczone but before moisturizer, Tretinoin .05% cream. This regimen has cleared those ugly and very painful pimples. I am active AA woman, Hot Pilates 7xweek plus swimming public pool 4xweek. Anyone know if I can use Ambi fade cream, aczone is not lightening scars."


"Oh this medicine is amazing I had chest tightness when I would breathe in I would almost cry from the pain and it radiated all the way to my back which was just as bad. I would sleep at night and could barely move certain ways without the pain and almost wanting to cry. I found out i have an enlarged blood vessel in my heart and that's what the pain was from. Being 23 I shouldn't be having this pain but after the 2nd day on this it helped me so much and I can actually get up and go on with my day with no pain. (Thank goodness)."


"Been on this Rx for years. It is the only one that works to control my high blood pressure"


"I found out I have type 2 diabetes back in May when going on for spine surgery. Dr increased my dosage to 2× day. I have been sick to my stomach with vomiting and have zero apatite ..."


"So tired. I'm on day 6 of this medication. I was prescribed 2 tablets a day for 7 days for BV due to excessive spray tanning.  I am miserable. I feel high and just drugged up.  The first couple of days weren't bad, but I've been tired, the entire time. I work 40 hours a week and have made it though to the weekend which is now and I have one pill left to take. As long as you eat enough before you take it, you shouldn't feel nauseous.  As of today, I am noticing red itchy bumps on my arms and legs, which I read could be a side effect. Also, I notice more hair loss than normal. I'm hoping that's a side effect and it stops in a few days. I'm praying that this takes care of the bv because I can't go a other round on this."


"I had three spinal operations and both hips replaced during the decade of '00. I suffer from chronic pain related to systemic osteoarthritis and spinal stenosis and have successfully managed my pain with low doses of hydrocodone and acetaminophen (Qualitest). My most recent Rx was filled using product manufactured by Mallinckrodt. For effectiveness in pain relief, Mallinckrodt is substantially INFERIOR to Qualitest."


"Although I have tried nearly every quit-smoking method out there, Chantix was the only thing that has actually worked for me.  I took it for one month, and then decided there was no need to renew the prescription.  The biggest negatives for me were the increased urination, difficulty falling asleep, waking up during the night, anxiety, irritability, and weight gain of about 6 pounds.  The weight gain was very sudden at the start of taking the prescription, and was very odd because I am a distance runner and am very conscious of calories in vs. calories out.  Now that I've stopped taking the drug, I'm still struggling to get off these last few pounds, but I'm much less irritable, am sleeping better, and still have no desire to smoke. :)"


"My 17 year old son usually gets injection, and has never had side effects. Tuesday afternoon he got flu mist instead of injection, and by Wednesday night he had moderate fever, headache, body aches, and fatigue.  Next time he will get injection, for sure."


"Was geting corizone shots every 4 months to stop the pain but doctors said it was too often. Had 1st synviscone shot may 18 and it has given my life back.no pain and a lot of functionality. Getting second shot this week after 6 months."


"I have been on this pill for over a year now and hate it. I used to be on an estrogen one but my dr said my blood pressure was a bit too high so she switched me (every other time I get my blood pressure checked it's completely normal). I have heavy periods which in my job where I can't just get up and go to the bathroom when I need sucks. I didn't have my period at all during the summer but then it came back with a vengeance. I have had it roughly every two weeks for the past 5 months. I also never know when it's going to start so I am wearing a pad more often than not now. I am going to be telling my dr to take me off this pill when I next go in."
