Herpes Simplex, Mucocutaneous/Immunocompetent Host

"I have been taken Famvir for a year. I had multiple outbreaks in the past, but I take Famvir daily and I have only had 2 mild outbreaks within a year. It really helps not having the pain and depression with outbreaks. It is a great medication and made my life better."


"I've had MS for almost 8 years and been on copaxone the whole time. I'm still on copaxone and will continue to use copaxone as long as I can . Going tomorrow to get 3 MRI's and, an xray . The MRI's are with and, without contrast . Cause without contrast they wouldn't see new lesions. MS gets my right side numb face, nose, tongue, throat right side only . Two weeks ago I experienced my first MS hug . Horrible feeling.  I get spasms all over and it affects my bladder as well . I hope it goes well for me tomorrow. The MRI's don't bother me - its waiting on the results ."


"Update: checking in on week 5 at 300mg of generic XL made by Par Pharmacuticals.
I can't say enough positive things about this medicine. I have had practically no bad side effects except a slightly more noticible 'ringing' in my ears. It is not bothersome and I only notice it it complete silence. On the plus side is virtually a new outlook on life, absence of any sad or hopeless feelings, reduced anxiety, tons of all day energy, focus, and enthusiasm, increased libido, desired weight loss and a shift in personality. I feel like I did when I was younger and full of hope, plans, and happy to greet the day. My jobs are more fulfilling, relationships improved, confidence restored. People notice! I had no idea I was that depressed. Amazing!"


"I was prescribed Lyrica in conjunction with Nortriptyline for RSD pain. It has proven to be a miracle worker over Neurontin/Gabapentin. Although both make me very sleepy and tired, Lyrica actually put a dent in the level of pain. While on Neurontin I was at a constant 7-10/10, Lyrica has brought it to (rarely) 0 and at most (during flareups, etc.) 6."


"Don't do it. Stop taking it!"


"I was worried because an ingredient is lactose, and I am lactose intolerant, but the doc said it would be fine and it is.

The problem is for an hour or so after taking it I get bad brain "zaps" and dizziness. Luckily no bad nausea or anything, but the zaps are bothersome and would keep me from driving. I only take 5mg at a time.

This is unfortunate because I think it is helping my disorder (Functional esophageal dysphasia/dyspepsia)  it was prescribed for. I've had a little less stomach pain and trouble swallowing on it."


"I've suffered from cluster tension headaches and migraines for years. My doctor prescribed me different kinds of things to deal with the pain, tramadol, codeine, diazepam and shots of voltaren, diclofenac and various other muscle relaxants.He then referred me to a psychiatrist to see if there was another cause for my headaches, as I suffer from serious anxiety problems.  The psych. thought it would be a good idea to run me through a gauntlet of antidepressants (sertraline, and venlafaxine to name a couple) none of which helped.  He then tried me on Amitriptyline, which didn't really help me, but did make me gain weight, and feel extremely nauseous. Mirtazipine has helped me a lot better used with Temazepam at night and Clonazepam in the day"


"Dosage had to be increased to highest. 75 mg  every 4-6 hours."


"This medicine works very well for my panic disorder yet it is also a very strong drug. I was on Xanax for years until my doctor said that Klonopin would work better for me because it is a longer lasting drug then Xanax. well he was right it was long lasting and made me feel tired all the time. That is all I did was sleep on this drug for 2years until I had enough and told him no way. I want Xanax back. I have been back on Xanax for 12 years now with no problems. If you do not abuse Xanax it is a great drug. Klonopin might work for you if you are on it great. Peoples chemistry is different. It just was not the right drug for me good luck everyone."


"After the death of my father I was thrown into an extremely depressive state and it only got worse as time went on. I was unable to get out of bed in the morning, go to school and could not carry out my normal life due to the constant feelings of hopelessness, sadness, etc. I had lost interest in everything and everyone and also began self harming. Ive been on Lexapro (20 mg) for about four months and it has helped me a large amount with my depression but it makes me feel like a bit of a zombie. The side effects were not the best but it has given me the energy and hope to get out of bed in the morning. Lexapro helped me a immense amount and I would recommend that you try it."


"My doctor recently put me on the Duragesic patches. For years I have tried many other medications with nothing positive to say about them, until now. I tried the patch and automatically thought it was great. I put the patch on, and it seemed like even though it says 72 hours it really only helped for 48. I made my doctor aware of these concerns and he instructed me to replace the patch every 48 hours and placed me on a breakthrough medication. Since then I have actually been comfortable for the first time since my accident. I think the patch is great!"


"I had seen my doctor on Friday 2/24/2017, weighed myself and I immediately became depressed. Not knowing that I have gained so much weight over the past year. As of today, today this is my 5th day taking only one per day. I started a diet for myself and this is the longest I've went without eating out. I don't eat as much at all and I don't have any cravings for what I use to eat. I drink lots of water per day and I've started morning walks. I haven't weighed myself yet cause I'm afraid to see if I haven't lost any weight so I'm going to weigh once I hit my 1 month period which is 3/24/17. Wish me luck."


"This has been the worst experience ever...at first everything was great. I didn't get my period for about 6 months or so. I have now had my period for 7 months straight...BLEEDING EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! I went to get it removed but the doctor told me that oral birth control could help regulate the bleeding so I tried that approach but after a full month of taking oral bc pills I am still bleeding. It has made me feel embarrassed on numerous occasions and it's very frustrating that the folks at planned parenthood never mentioned this could be a side effect. UGH. Yes, it is effective, I haven't gotten pregnant. But honestly I would rather not even use protection...that's how upset I have been with this implant."


"Extremely effective at curing my insomnia. I struggled to sleep, probably due to anxiety related to my job/future for over a year. It took over 2 hours to sleep, and even then sometimes I couldn't. I was continually getting under 5 hours of sleep, and sometimes only 2 a night. It really cost me big time! If you are suffering from a similar case, give the drug a try. My appetite increased a lot, so I am expecting weight gain."


"I am currently using Abreva for the first time and I will absolutely use it again! I did not apply until after the blister appeared. It was a large cluster sores (about the size of a dime). I am so happy with how fast it worked! Typically, my cold sores last 10 days. It's been 4 and my cold sore has significantly reduced in size - its practically gone. I'm confident it'll be gone by day 7. There has been no crusty dry stage - which I feel is the most embarrassing. I have to agree with another comment I read about the bright white color.  I would have liked to use it more frequently throughout the day, but didn't want to draw anymore attention with white paste all over my face at work. It was worth the $20, a little goes a long way!"


"I found they work great, helps when I feel a panic attack coming on."


"I have been off Tri-Sprintec for two weeks now and I feel like myself again. I was extremely moody towards my husband for the last 9 months. I just feel happier. The pill was effective though because I didn't get pregnant. I also didn't have any weight gain and my skin was fine. Just be aware that you can become very emotional and irritable after taking this pill. I'll be looking for another contraceptive that doesn't do that to my body."


"I tend to suffer regular bouts of constipation and have found that Miralax and other powder-based laxatives have had little effect.  I decided to give Dulcolax a shot while on a trip as it was very uncomfortable to be so bloated while doing some strenuous activities.  I took three tablets (I'm 6'5" 250 lbs and usually take max dose) on Friday at 7PM.  Between HORRIBLE cramps, chills, cold sweets, weakness, and constant runs, I felt like I had taken the pill-form of food poisoning.  It is now Monday at 11 AM and I am still unable to eat anything without it going straight through me.  This is not worth it, and Dulcolax should not be advising people to EVER take three of these.  Awful experience."


"I feel calm all of the time. With the exception of some grave disaster, nothing gets me down. I feel normal for the first time.  I haven't gained any weight either. Sometimes I do get the munchies. When this happens, I eat a bunch of grapes, celery or fat free/sugar free pudding made with fat free milk. You don't have to gain weight. I gave it a 9 because I don't like how sedating it is."


"My PAH was 130mmHg, and after 5 months of using Macitentan, my PAH is 70mmHg. I'm  feeling much better."


"My Doctor is bad and suggested this medicine. I've tried lots of different ones nothing has helped in 10 yrs. She stated it would help my pain , hot flashes and menopause. I came home took a 37.5  mg at 8pm and by 11 pm I was sick -  my stomach hurt so bad  I vomited and  I was hot / cold , my pupils were dilated ,  I could not control my emotions or my stomach , I threw up againe.  I've been a nervous wreak for 36 hrs.  I woke up with a terrible  right side headache, muscle ache in my jaw or my right eye, feeling sick to my stomach.  I only took 1 pill its the worst medication , ever , I've been on lots of meds , but nothing has ever done this. I do not recommend this pill to anyone.  I'm just trying to get it out of my system , please read all reviews before you try it."


"I took this for a cough I was having in conjunction with a sore throat. Every time I coughed it just made my throat feel terrible. It did nothing for my cough at all, and it kept me up all night. The medicine and the cough, combined, made me lay awake. The codeine just didn't seem to knock me out. I had better luck with Theraflu Warming."


"Worked so fast that before I left office I felt better"


"I have been taking 10 mg 4 x daily for the last two years, and I have not fallen asleep while driving, standing still, taking finals (I am a 3rd year law student), or during class for all that time. This drug is good for me. The dose would be high for some, but I am around 200 lbs and 6' 3", so I need a moderately high dose based on body weight alone. I take the tablets, because they work quickly if I need them and I can skip doses that I do not need. Overall this drug has improved my quality of life vastly."


"I've been taking this for about 2 months now.  I've lost 14lbs on it and it seems as if I'm tapering off on weight loss so I may have to move up to the next dose.  At first I had the nasty metal taste in my mouth, so much so that I carried a bottle of mouthwash around with me!  Could hardly stand it.  But now, I don't have it at all.  The side effects did taper off altogether.  I find the medication very helpful along with working out."


"This is a wonder drug. If you suffer from any type of anxiety, especially PTSD, and depression, especially major depression, this drug will ease your symptoms to a minimal. This is a "clean" feeling drugs and works great.

Now the bad side: this drug has way too many side effects to recommend to anyone that is not retired or hospitalized. Without adjunctive therapy with an atypical antipsychotic this drug will make you numb and turn you into the walking dead. Cloudy, foggy, and lethargic with memory issues are the main side effects associated with this drug. Further side effects include but are not limited to erectile dysfunction and the libido of a 90 year old man. Aside from these effects this is a super SSRI!"


"Fantastic experience.  9  months on Seasonique and never had breakthrough bleeding.  Slight appetite increase, but no acne or crazy mood swings. My last 2 birth control pills gave me insane mood swings. My fiance is thrilled with my choice in Seasonique."


"Having multiple kidney stones, this was the best thing the ER ever gave me."


"This is the third Rx I've had over 10 years to treat polycythemia rubes very. Started for drug trial for 87 weeks.  Now on an Rx.
I've had 0 Phlebotomy since on Jakafi. Itching is nearly nonexistent.  I can sleep well. Mood has improved.  Generally, Jakafi has given me a life back!"


"I went to my Doc after six weeks of giving birth. He introduced copper T to me which I gladly accepted. After the insertion I bled for almost two weeks with mild cramping. Everything was fine afterwards no fear of getting pregnant. Just  four months later I started gaining uncontrollable weight and the worst is my stomach part .l look five month pregnant. Tomorrow I will go to my Doc to take it out."


"I just started my 4th month. The first 2 months showed quite a bit of improvement but after 3 months my face was the same. I still get 1 or 2 pimples around the end of the month so I am now on 60mg instead of 40mg. I switched to Cetaphil facial wash and facial moisturizer as well as Loreal hydrafresh skin toner, since it is alcohol free, about a month ago and no longer have a huge drying problem on my face, my scars are also looking better. I use vaseline on my lips and in my nose. In the beginning my skin on my hands and arms was severely dry and hurt, but after my shower now I use baby oil and vaseline body lotion and I don't have a problem with dry skin anymore either. I have gotten a lot of compliments since I started this pill, I hope it continues improving my face!"


"This is the hardest drug therapy I've ever been on in my life but the results are a effective and fast. Please complete the entire therapy for amazing recovery results for Hepatitus C."


"My eyes were so itchy and uncomfortable! I tried Zadator and immediately felt relief. After several days use, dosing once in the morning and once at night, my eyes feel normal again. Even though Zaditor only contains an antihistimine (unlike Visine Allergy) my eyes are no longer red and scratchy feeling. It's so nice to find something OTC that works!"

"I was hesitant to start Contrave after reading the reviews' side effects. Took my first pill a week ago. Started out at 277, one week later am at 271. I wasn't expecting certain cravings to be eliminated so quickly but am super pleased they were. After the second day on Contrave my 30+ year addiction to coffee and cream just vanished. What? I literally have not gone one day in my adult life without coffee and cream. I am now having tea in the morning. Also very quickly other things I really like have gone of the list of things that now gross me out completely...sweets with high fat content, and creamy foods: chocolate mousse, ice cream, coconut milk, etc. Will continue to update. Am having weird, vivid dreams, dry mouth and slight nausea."


"This medicine works I was on my most fertile day and wasn't taking ANY birth control ,he almost finish inside of me but I still freaked out and took it within 40 mins. Today I got my period right on time!! It does work!!! My period is very heavy this time tho  but that's ok."


"Took 2 days for a normal pH"


"Have almost finished the 12 weeks. Absolutely no negative side effects at all . I work 50 hours a week in a demanding job .I have had hep c for over 25 years .Havent felt this well in 25 years . Not sure if it was Harvoni or just luck ,but everyone at work caught a nasty flu I was the only person who didnt. A miracle drug !!! Havent had my blood done but bexause i feel so well I suspect that I am cured. Havent had a single day off work in fact I have more energy than ever"


"I finished up my first pack of Generess a week ago, and it's my first birth control pill. I know you're supposed to take it for three months before the side effects go away, but I couldn't resist reviewing.

It's effective--I'm not pregnant and have regular sex. However, the side effects aren't great. The 1st week was ok, just some loose stool after Day 1. By the time I got halfway through the second week, I had (sometimes heavy) spotting that went on for 1.5 weeks STRAIGHT. I'm not a  fan of having sex while bleeding, so it was frustrating. Also, my moods swing like a pendulum. I'll go from happy to raging in ten seconds. My face breaks out more now, and I also find I'm eating A LOT more than usual. The side effects are dwindling, though, so I'm happy!"


"I used to be always in a hurry always so anxious and had horrible mood swings. I didnt realize it was getting worse until suicide came into play and my bf broke it off and called the cops.  i was freed but the following days I did not eat or sleep and was constantly agonized by thoughts and feelings and cried oceans. I turned myself in at the hospital (3 days ago) and have been put on sequorel (retard). I must say the thoughts are still there but its not as agonizing. My body is relaxed and I feel like I can breathe again and enjoy the small things in life. Im still hoping my bf will come back...that obsession remains. I sleep well...I've started dreaming again. Nice dreams mostly. I like this drug but am a bit worried about the side effects"


"So the dr gave me some amox-clav 875 mg a week ago. I only took 3 that was enough to know I had a darn YI ,so I used some Monostat cream for the outside because of the itching. hwen I tell y’all I was burning like anything -  I wanted to run through the house screaming for a fire hose to put the fire out "


"I used to be an extremely bubbly, happy, and very sexual person. I've had the Nexplanon for a little over a month and my weight has stayed almost the same (I went from 140-135). I'm very active and generally up for anything.

After having the Nexplanon implanted I've been miserable. I have at least 2/3 anxiety attacks weekly, I'm moody, hateful, irritable and downright not myself. My poor boyfriend is trying to be a trooper but I can barely contain my own feelings :(

My sex drive is GONE whereas previously I was craving sex twice a day! I don't feel like myself. I had my period for 2 straight weeks after implantation and now I'm bleeding very lighting continuously. I'm giving it a couple more weeks before I call to have it removed :("


"I get urinary tract infections quite frequently, about 4 to 6 per year and I am always prescribed Levaquin. By the third dose I begin to feel better but I start getting the bad side effects, stomach upset, vomiting and diarrhea. It also makes me very fatigued."


"With the old inhalers you could test fire it to make sure it was working. Now, how do you tell? I’ve used rescue inhalers for many years. The key word here is rescue. When I have an attack lose the ability to breathe deeply. When I use the ProAir RespiClick I can sometimes taste it on my tongue, just like with my old inhaler but I don’t get relief. The instructions say you have to wait over 5 minutes to get relief, but the medicine never seems to kick in. My doctor recommended this especially since there was a coupon."


"Norflex has affected  my speech. Sometimes I  can't get  the words  out of my  mouth"


"I had this put on at the beginning of July and have been bleeding ever since! It has made me so emotional and snappy and also caused my skin to become dry and sore! Sounds like a good idea at the time but is definitely not worth all the hassle it causes! Getting it taken out asap and would not recommend to anybody!!"


"I was very scared about all the side effects of birth control. However, I recently got married and we had used abstinence during our year and a half of dating and I needed a birth control for after we got married and this is what I was given. I am going on my 4th month now and have experienced none of the side effects. I eat healthy and live an active lifestyle and don't ever workout and I haven't gained any weight. I had mood swings before I got on any birth control usually right before my period and that is kind of the regular for me even with this pill. My skin is a lot clearer. My boobs did get bigger for a little while there. My periods are either light or non existent. I take this pill every night at 10 so I don't experience nausea as I'm asleep."


"First couple of days it was working well then I started noticing mood swing, insomnia, anxiety, anger, agitation on top of that lack of energy and a sore throat. It's ok but not worth all these side effects."


"I had surgery on my back in my lower lumbar for stoniness. I am on Valium and Hydrocodone/acetaminophen and the medicines seem to work during the day but when I get up in the morning I can't feel my legs. I then take the medicines and about 30 min's  later I'm okay. I still have the pain in the day but not as bad. I am also having erectile dysfunction. I hope this will go away after healing of the back."


"This medication helps me to function and feel sane!"


"Thought I would share since there are so many negative reviews. After a full month of having the implant, I'm a fan (would have given 10/10 but it's still early). Occasional discomfort at the implant site, but from what I've read thats normal and is just the scar tissue being tugged by the muscle. Got the implant the first week of Jan, didn't get my period that weekend as scheduled, but it came a week later. I had a single cramp the night before I got it, like a warning sign, and then had my period for 10 days. Seemed like a lot, but now that I have no sign of a period, or even spotting for almost 2 weeks now."


"Been taking it for 6 years initially for depression then anxiety and stress and it's one of the worst things to happen to me. Constant eczema where my skins gets very itchy and sore that I have scars all over, constipation is probably the worst as I've had periods of vomiting to stomach being sore and bloated, blurred vision, it's addictive contrary to what doctors say as I have been trying to get off it for 2 years slowly and been admitted to hospital twice in that time for substance abuse relating to endep. Doctors can't understand why I have been on it for so long. Take mine at night as you get drowsy of a day on higher than 50mg (most I taken was 75mg) now on 10mg and still get constipation."


"Incredible product!

I've battled with Tinea Versicolor for a couple years, it would come and go especially in the summer... I decided to do some research into it after trying natural remedies which did work - just not as well - such as Malaleuca(Tea Tree Oil) and Coconut Oil.

I bought the Selsun Lotion and Selsun Blue Shampoo from Walmart... I had Tinea on my stomach, back and chest. After using this it literally COMPLETELY disappeared in less than a week!

For my frustration I would put on the lotion before I went to sleep and then would shower when I woke up, also using the scrubber for the shower. I've only used it that week and it's been 2 months and hasn't come back even in the slightest.

Amazing product. +++++ Highly Recommend."


"First of all, unless Strattera is seriously messing with your brain, you should really be patient and keep taking it to see if it really works. I thought several times about quitting, but since I have been fighting depression and ADHD my whole life, why not give it another month to take effect? I started a month at 25mg, a month at 40mg, and about 2 weeks at 80mg. Wow, have things really taken off for me! I am getting so much done at home and am motivated to get a job again! The one downside is the cost. Seriously? My insurance won't cover it so my 80mg prescription was almost $500! To combat nausea, take with food always! It may interact with vitamins too, so take those at the opposite time of day. Most side effects went away after 2 wks."


"I have been on this pill for over a year now. I was first on ortho tri cyclen lo (tr sprintec is the generic for this) and I absolutely loved it. I never felt moody crampy or had heavy periods. I switched to tri sprintec due to insurance, not for any side effect reasons, I was disappointed to change but I was happy it was basically the same. I feel slightly moody during the first week just like you would during PMS (3-4 first pills in the pack) but no physical changes. My period usually arrives 2-3 days after my pack ends and lasts about 5-6 days and is pretty light except for about a day or two of normal bleeding. I know medications affect everyone differently, so I suggest trying it before letting any negative review sway you."


"Reduced my pain by 80% and lets me live a normal life again!"


"I have been prescribed Macrobid 3 times in the span of a year for UTIs. The first and second time I took Macrobid, I had no side effects at all. The third time I took it, I had a 101 fever within hours of the second dose, shallow breathing and cough, and diarrhea. My fingers were tingling too. I immediately stopped taking it and it's been not quite 2 days yet but the fever is going away.

I'm going to have to look into natural remedies for UTIs now.

I admit that I thought everyone else on here was "crazy" writing about their side effects when I had none...until it happened to me. Just because you didn't have any the first time doesn't mean you won't next time, like I did."


"I was diagnosed with a 13cm fibroid.  The doctor wanted to shrink it to be able to perform a lathroscopic hysterectomy.  I was having CONSTANT heavy bleeding for months on end, even the transamic acid wasn't slowing it down.   First drug we tried was Fibristal.  It was supposed to slow the bleeding and shrink the fibroid.  I took this for 6 months and it did ABSOLUTELY nothing.   The doctor then suggested Lupron Depot. The first week on Lupron was hard.  Bleeding was much heavier than before (which was already horrible).  But by week 2 the bleeding completely stopped.  By 5 months on Lupron my fibroid had shrunk to 11cm.  A bit of hot flashes. Some fogginess/irritability, but that's normal for me...lol"


"Diovan was prescribed by my doctor nearly 10 years ago. Turns out both my parents also take it. None of us have any side effects that we are aware of, and it controls the hypertension effectively. Never been on any other high blood pressure treatment."


"This medicine caused high prolactin"


"NEVER EVER take these. I took the reccomend dose of 3 before I went to bed around 10:30 p.m about 1 a.m. I started having severe stomach stomach pain and nausea. I had to get a trash can the nausea was that bad. I laid in bed doubled over in pain for about an hour and then thankfully was able to nod off to be rudely awakend to horrific stomach cramps almost as bad as giving birth to my having contractions. It's was like 4:30 a.m. . I had horrible diarhea. I went back to bed and five minutes later I had to jump up to go again. Then again and again and again. Here it is about 5:30 a.m. and I'm on my bathroom floor sweating feeling like I'm dying. I almost considered going to the ER the side effects are that bad. If you don't want to feel like you're dying then please save yourself and do not take these and suffer. These are horrible. I can't believe these are over the counter."


"Confusion, lethargy, diarrhea, hyperchloremia, CO2 16, nausea, dizziness"


"I am a teenage girl, and was told to go on the depo after my mother found out that I have been having sex with my boyfriend. I've been on it since I was 15, and I never even had to worry. I haven't gotten my period since then, and I have only gained 10 pounds. Slight irritability, Increase in my breast size by two cups. Keep in mind that the weight you gain is all body fat. I have an ample amount of stretch marks on my legs especially. If you do not care about the weight gain, this birth control is definitely for you."


"I was taking Yaz for about 6-7 months and had great results with decreased acne and shorter menstrual periods. However, the more I read about the drug, the more concerned I became about some of the side effects other people were having. However, I am not the type of person to imagine that side effects are happening to me. I have always tolerated most medications pretty well. So I thought everything was going well with Yaz. About 6-7 months into it, I started noticing that I was having a lot of muscle twitching. It was subtle at first but then it was constant. I finally went to my doctor and she said that I most likely had increased potassium, causing an electrolyte imbalance. (Which can be very dangerous if untreated). Hope this helps."


"I began Celexa after having a bad experience on Prozac. I did not see immediate results but I did see some improvement. The side effects were terrible! I had extremely vivid dreams that caused me to be very tired and hard to wake. I had decreased sex drive and lots of problems with memory loss. "


"After going through my third manic episode I was prescribed 6mg of resperidal which immediately made me feel like an absolute zombie. I couldn't think clearly, was extremely tired all of the time l, and was unhappy. Through the course of about 4 months my dosage is now 1 mg and I don't feel the severe side effects. Good medicine in controlling the mania but in high dosages will make you feel like a zombie"


"I have had ADHD for as long as I can remember. My first real memory is when I was an altar boy. I would go to the church but could never concentrate on what I was supposed to be doing. I would forget pretty much everything and was just sort of walking through things as a zombie. Every time I had to serve a mass I had to rework everything in my brain. This went on for years through school where I couldn't pay attention and I would actually ask the same question two or three times. I did not find Adderall until later in life because when I was young it was not available. After taking 15 milligrams of the instant release twice a day my life changed for the better. I was able to concentrate for the first time. Not covrd by ins as am +20"


"did not really help with back pain."


"My husband and I both smoked about 1 and half packs a day and wanted to stop for our children. We began taking Chantix and smoked for the first week. We haven't smoked since then. The worst side effects we have had is some nausea right after taking the pill and some trouble sleeping. Its not the save all pill as it still requires will power, but it helps more than nothing. When you are ready to quit the medication will help but you really have to want it."


"It works. I took it 30 min after I had unprotected sex and I didn't get any side effects and I got my period on time."


"Side effects, side effects, side effects!!!!
Rapid weight gain, headaches, fainting, cholesterol raised to high levels, severe abdominal cramping"


"I have had mild/moderate acne ever since I was 12. I've tried countless over the counter products, but decided to see a dermotoligist for real results. She put me on epiduo at 14 which worked slightly but being in the sun for a short amount of time gave me a rash on my face. I then went on once-daily cream(the cream is called once-daily) and it didn't help. My acne calmed down when I was 16, but came back just before my 17th. My doctor prescribed differen to me and I'm already getting results 2 weeks in. Only thing is I can't use it every day because it dries my skin out too much, but that's to be expected. Moisturiser is a must with this gel or your skin will flake! It really does help but, my skin tone is much nicer. Recommend it :)"


"Began taking Topamax in 2006. Before starting on Topamax migraines were lasting 4-5 days after onset; and frequency of approximately 3 times per month. I experienced some diarrhea which subsided after breaking dosage up throughout the day (200mg daily). Additionally, I have experienced weight loss (a significant amount 50lbs) I could not afford to lose. However, the weight loss has subsided as well. Upon beginning the medication I had trouble with recalling words and memory loss. At this juncture the side effects have since passed and so have the migraines. I experience 1-2 migraines quarterly. Topamax has been a life-saver for me. I had tried many other migraine preventatives to no avail."


"I had my doubts that this would work -- it was fantastic! within 15-20 minutes the pain that felt like my skull was in a vise disappeared. I am a horse trainer and I work full time on my own farm, and I can't function when I have a migraine, ( 4-5 attacks a month, 24-48 hours each time)  Maxalt 10-mg was a miracle for me. I don't have to put all the work on my daughter, and my temper has become much more even.  The anxiety of worrying about a migraine attack has helped enormously, for my emotional state, too. **side note** I had a Mirena IUD and had it removed, I believe this contributed to the attacks, so hopefully in 4-6 weeks I won't need the Maxalt, either."


"I wrote back in May and wanted to follow up since it has now been 4 months.  My allergist was a bit disappointed as I still have some eczema -- I am about 70 percent clearer.  I haven't been using any steroid creams so maybe with those we would see better results.
I did go through a crazy flaky period on my face/scalp/arms.  I finally used some tar shampoo and tea tree oil to get through that it lasted a good 8 to 10 weeks.
My skin does feel much softer, my husband has commented several times.
I think the most noticeable thing for me is the ITCH IS GONE.  That alone is worth the shots to me. I wish I had better luck with clearer skin. We don't realize how much we scratch ourselves without even thinking, until we stop."


"Well I think that it has help with my anger. however not really my depression. People say I'm a lot better but I'm still down inside.
Don't really know if there is a real cure for depression."


"The only positive thing to say is that it made me sleep 6 1/2 hours straight although it didn't help me get to sleep. The reason I laid down was because I became very dizzy and woke up feeling the same which has induced anxiety. I have felt completely off balance similar to vertigo. I have taken stronger sleep aids that didn't give me this effect. I was very hopeful. A waste of $90.00."


"Thanks to everyone for sharing.  3rd day on the drug now and feel surprisingly good - I had forgotten what that feels like. Also been taking Paroxetine for some time for anxiety and Campral seems to have a similar (but more beneficial) calming effect for me. Possible placebo but who cares if it works eh? Thanks!"


"I have been having anxiety since I was 7-8 years old! I used to take Paxil when I was about 18 years old and it helped except for the upset stomach part but then that went away (from Paxil) I was 1st prescribed lorazepam when I was I think 20, and have been taking it now for 12 years! Love it and only thing I find is I get a dry mouth every now and then but its not so horrible as some of the other ones I've taken. I'm just trying to find another medicine now that can stop the attacks."


"I went into preterm labor with my second at 34 weeks had him at 35. For unknown reason. My obgyn offered the mekena injection. Boy it hurt my nurses found out the higher the shot in the hip toward the spin the better. I wouldn't feel a thing. It did make me feel sick. I am more happier. I am now at 36 weeks and getting my last injection. We shall see. But it's expensive if insurance doesn't cover. Thank goodness mine did. Also trips once a week since 16 weeks pregnant , that's a huge down. But she is healthy and I soon will hold her in my arms."


"I have been on Yasmin now for nearly 6 months and it was the best decision I ever made going on it! In the first two months I experienced a huge increase in acne all over my face but I was expecting this. By the third and fourth month it calmed down but I experienced a few bad breakouts throughout the month. The fifth month was when I started to notice drastic changes, I use to wake up with a new spot everyday but it changed to hardly breaking out at all, and the spots I did get were only small that were easy to get rid of. I'm currently at the end of the fifth month and my skin has never been better! I feel so much more confident in myself and my skin. All it takes is a little time and patience and you will get the results you want!"


"I just started this about 2 months ago. I got it from Planned Parenthood after my abortion. They assured me I would not get pregnant on this pill after the first 7 days. I had a little nausea, and I do have fatigue, but my acne has been getting better. However, I just spent the last 5 weeks thinking I was pregnant due to changes in my breasts: veiny, areola enlargement, and literally they feel like two saggy water balloons instead of more firm like normal! This confused me as I've only had this happen to my breasts when I was pregnant! It's not going away and I am worried. I keep testing but my test says I'm not pregnant. I really don't like how they feel or look and I'm not sure what to do about it. If I didn't have that I'd be happy!"


"Very effective for nasal congestion. Took 1 tablet on an empty stomach coz it was 5am in the morning and I couldnt sleep as my nose and ears were blocked. Effect took place in 5 - 10 minutes. I think it works better than chlorpheniramine for me."


"Been having headaches all of the sudden the entire month of November. Bad headaches! Was actually scared to take imitrex because of side effects but finally took it after 2 days of agony, and it worked!! So happy this worked for me"


"Whenever I have a urinary tract infection, a yeast infection is sure to follow and this time, instead of buying the 3 day treatment of Canesten that you insert inside (which has always worked well the first day), I tried the one pill.  No side effects.  However I my vagina is still itchy, burning and rubbing it no longer provides any relief anymore.  Going back to the doctor, hoping for something stronger."


"Had horrible back pain, along with other opiates this product works wonderfully."


"It's been working wonderful for me the past 2 years."


"I have struggle with acne since 7th grade and my acne has always been my biggest insecurity. I am now 20 years old and have been on different medications, used different topical creams, and every moisturizer and face wash out there. My doctor finally prescribed me accutane and it is a miracle pill. The only side effect I experience was dry lips but it was worth it because my acne is gone. I would recommend this to anyone because it works and I have never been so confident"


"I have severe panic attacks and slight depression, so my doc suggested Lexapro along with Xanax for the panic attacks. I was on 5mg of Escitalopram for about 2 months and still felt stressed.  My doc increased it to 10mg which I've been on for months now.  I thought I was doing okay until I had a severe emotional breakdown this past weekend for 3 hours straight.  My doc just increased me to 20mg so I'll check back in.

Side effects for me starting at 5mg have been extremely VIVID and sometimes crazy dreams, decrease in sex drive and inability to have an orgasm, and slight weight gain."


"Since retiring from the Army in 2011, I went from 270lbs (I'm a very big, solid guy) to 336lbs.  Due to my combat injuries, exercise is not an option.  I went to the doctor on July 15th and was prescribed this medication.  August 15th I went to weigh in at the doc's office and I was 325lbs!  Sept 16th I weighed in at 316lbs and my weigh in today has me at 304lbs!  Other than a dry mouth without water nearby, this med is incredible!  I stopped drinking beer and coke as recommended by my doc but other than that, no big changes in lifestyle.  I'm just not very hungry.  I eat a granola bar for breakfast, a sandwich around 1pm and then only one serving of whatever were having for dinner.  This Med really works!"


"I started taking 30mg of Cymbalta about a month ago. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and was prescribed Cymbalta mainly for depression, but I must say that Cymbalta has significantly helped the chronic pain. I had side effects the first two weeks or so, but they mostly went away. As far as depression goes though, it hasn't really helped me."


"I ended up going to the ER because of a several day migraine, and was given this plus Benadryl and a steroid. I've been to the ER once before for a week-long migraine and the nurse asked what I was given. I told them the last time I was given something that made me shiver and shake uncontrollably for 20-30 minutes. He said that's the Reglan, but at this particular hospital they like to put it through the IV as a drip slowly;  Not fast as pushing it through a syringe into the patient's system can cause the reaction I had before. I did not shake or shiver like before, with the cocktail of meds I became very sleepy and my muscles felt loose, and dozed for a little while. Much better reaction than before!!!"


"Made migraines a lot worse and sunk me into worst depression. I guess it works for some people. "


"I have tonic clonic epilepsy.  It totally controls my seizures. I haven't had any since I've been taking it - for about two years now."


"I've been taking a year. Works well for me to decrease the nausea and remove the intensity.  No side effects while on it.  However, there was one day I went without it and drank alcohol. I experienced a very severe panic attack and the effects lasted for 4 hours.  So I would imagine coming off this later will be a process.  I do not plan on stopping for at least another year.  Worth noting I do not drink anymore, so if alcohol is a part of your life, you have to take that into consideration as to how much you can drink (if any) and how you will feel as a result."


"I am only a teenager very young. Only being the end of grade 10. And I had unexpected and unfortunately unprotected sex with my boyfriend on Friday around 8pm. He pulled out before finishing although I was and am terrified about precum. He told me about plan b and offered to pay for it. I took it at approximately 10am the following Saturday. I experienced headache and fatigue. I took a nap and the symptoms went away. My expected period is next week an I just want to say thank you to everyone writing these reviews because you've calmed me down so much."


"I have been on this for a month and a half. Until reading the reviews I did not realize why I have been so angry, moody, and depressed. I did not even think about that as a side effect.
I have had a period for two weeks, I am soo mad. I started the pill to have sex, not be able to. I also leave for a cruise in a few days. I am sooo mad."


"I was diagnosed w hsv1 + 2 around my buttocks about a year and a half ago. Ever since my initial outbreak I've been taking 500mg of Valtrex daily. I've never experience any side effects -- I also take birth control and drink regularly. I've never experienced a full outbreak since the initial one. Sometimes when I go out of town I'm not great about taking meds and I'll feel symptoms coming on after a few days of missing it, so I'll take 1g for a couple days and then that makes it go away. I don't *think* I have a severe case -- the initial outbreak was extremely uncomfortable, but immediately after taking meds the pain went away followed by the blisters healing. Quick recovery w valtrex -- I doubt I'll ever go off!"


"Sort of worked but I was sleeping all the time.  12 - 14 hours  per day and then could not move the rest of the day.  Had to stop after 10 days of being a zombie."


"Took 3 tablets at 11,  woke up at 3am with extreme abdominal pain.  Ran to toilet and remained there for 1.5 hours writhing in pain with diarrhea and vomiting.  Had to call in sick to work and am still feeling unwell nearly 24 hrs later.  Throwing out the rest of the packet."


"This definitely helped my eyes, one was almost swollen shut, the eye lids were swollen bad, eyes bloodshot, extreme watering and painful. After one day eyes are 50 % better. "


"I've been struggling with deep muscle and bone pain. After trying Vicodin, tramadol, gabapentin and more I can't even remember, my new doctor gave me a Lyrica sample. For the first time in four years, I was able to get out of bed with no pain. It's changed my life."


"I've only been on it for about 1 month.  They have increased my dosage and I have noticed a change for the better."


"pain doc just switched me to nucynta ER 150 mg - twice daily...after making the rounds of other meds. I was on 4mg dilaudid before this - morphine, oxycodone - all losing some of their effect after a while; but, they ALL worked better than this tapentadol stuff. I am a cancer survivor with a host of other conditions - arthritis, carpal tunnel, cervical neuropathy and lower back pain. Not only is it having no effect on the pain - I can't sleep - have pounding headache and now can't urinate at all (enlarged prostate). don't like this med at all..."


"Good pain med took a few days to get use to it.
I'm on the max dose 600mg/ day.  I got quite dizzy at first trying to figure out when to take my break through meds. Very little highs and lows for me that is important  not like the Percocets I used to take."


"I am a male 50 years old and suffer from anxiety and depression.  Out of the blue, I started experiencing severe nausea on a daily basis about 4 weeks ago.  No matter what I tried or did, it hardly let up.  It made me miserable, and due to the nausea and lack of appetite, I ended up losing about 10 pounds and I am slim already, so it greatly distressed me.  I went to the ER twice, in early April and just recently.  On the first trip they found an infection, treated it, but the nausea still continued afterward.  On my second trip, they found NOTHING wrong with me and said I was probably creating it somehow with my mind.  They put me on the Promethazine and for two days now no nausea. "


"It helped me a lot to recover from H. pylori infection. I took with 2 other medicines as per prescribed to me."


"If you want to torture yourself, than take this. Seriously, it is the second time that i get an infection, and the first time i took canesten 3 days treatement... this time i tought.. hey why not try this one instead, the pharmacien said it could cure it too.... BIG MISTAKE... my VaJayJay was literally on fire... it has been 4hrs since i took the first pill, and it is still burning... it is unbearable... the itching got 100X worst than the infection itself... it shouldnt be in the market... pure poison..."


"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.."


"You have got to catch the attack in the early stages ,750mg to start and 250 every 8 hours. Mind you I get a really bad stomach with the 750mg dose but it realy does the trick"


"My stomach was such a mess with multiple peptic ulcers, I ended up having emergency surgery due to a perforated bowel, spent three months in a hospital..  Protonix has been my miracle.  If I run out even for a day I'm in so much pain that I can't even walk.   I'm thankful for this medicine"


"I have been on Lryica for 2 1/2 weeks now. I take 1 x 75mg capsule morning & night. I suffer from back, buttock, leg & feet pain from a 360 degree double spinal fusion of L4-L5 & L5 & S1 done 20 years ago.  Nerve pain is now ruining my life. However since being on this medicine my pain is now around a 2-3 out of 10 from being anywhere between 5-9. The only real side effect I am having is feeling "High" 24 hrs a day. Supposedly this will go away in time. I also feel uplifted and it has helped with my depression. I do feel a bit aggressive at times too. I have been keeping a close check on my weight too but nothing has changed. My normal weight is 75 kgs and I'm fit & strong as I workout in the gym regularly which helps control back pain."


"Ive Been on this birth control since April 15th , I love about 10 pounds in the first couple months. So far it's been working great. Getting it put in did reality my pain tolorence is pretty good, I have a small scar not very noticeable. I have had unprotected sex since then and I'm starting to get worried... I sleep all the time I eat so much I have brown discharge and I may just be over thinking but I don't know. I'm only 15 so improbably just being paranoid. But other than that it has worked for me I see that i.e. Been breaking out on my face a lot more. Not to bad I plan to keep using This implant."


"I have extremely bad coughing spells at night. So my doctor prescribed Codeine cough syrup which surprisingly did not help because it is a pretty strong cough medicine. So instead he prescribed Tussionex for me. The medicine worked great! The only thing I don't like is it made me sleep all day long and the next day I could still feel it in my system but I know I could have probably slept for 2 days straight off of the small dose he prescribed. He told me to do "Take 1 teaspoonful 2 times a day" I only did one and it made me feel very tired. But it does A GREAT job with suppressing the cough."


"I have suffered secondary hypertension ever since I were in first grade. I am now 73 and been on 2 to 4 blood pressure meds ever since I was 21 years old. And in the last two years I have been in the ER 10 times with blood pressure way in the danger zone. One episode left me with a aneurysm on my heart. After my Nephrologist took over my case, he change my meds and added spirolactone which immediately dropped my pressure to normal. Thank goodness someone knew of this med, as my heart Dr. and my primary Dr. for years had no idea what to do."


"I'm currently on bactrim, first day taking the medication and I saw an immediate difference. My Uti's are horrible, I'm normally awaken from my sleep, as they hurt that bad. I'm up for hours on hours sitting on the toilet due to the urge. Bactrim is helping this a lot. Also I see a lot of people are feeling sick while taking this medicine, my doctor recommends that I take the medicine with food, hope this helps you guys in the future if you're experiencing sickness."


"Well there isn't a cure, but this sure helps."


"I developed an outer ear infection after a month of daily swimming. I was in a lot of pain and went to the doctors which prescribed these drops. With insurance it still cost me $60 out of pocket. Which I would have been more than happy to pay if it had helped relieved the pain. However, my pain is worse now. The drops have only made the pain 10x worse. I'm now on day 4th and have decided to stop using them going back to the doctors for an alternative. I'm really bummed out as we leave on vacation this Sunday and the pain is unbearable."


"I have an unusal side affect to this drug.  It takes the pain away (YEAH) but it also wires me.  It should make me sleepy but it speeds me up.  So not only is the pain gone but my house gets clean too.  YEAH!"


"If I could give this a -10 stars...I would. I had a lung infection recently which landed me in the Doctor and placed on both steroids and antibiotics. I'm well versed in the fact that antibiotics can often cause BV or yeast infections but honestly had forgot about that side affect. I wound up with a yeast infection where the primary symptom was a terrible itch. I purchased the Monistat 1 and that did absolutely nothing. So the next day I purchased the generic 3-day Miconazole. HOLY MOLY!!! The itch and burn that this product produced was worse than when I had chicken pox!  No matter what I did the itch was the most intense thing I've ever felt in my life. I ended up showering this all off of me!"


"I've been on this for almost 5 years and I love it, in the last two years I've actually lost weight, my skin which used to be horrible with acne is nice and clear. The first few months were kind of rough, as it is when starting any birth control. The only downfall would be how sensitive my breasts can get when it's cold. Almost painful at times, but it's definitely eased over the years."


"Have been taking Tambocor for 11 years (100mg/day). Have only had Atrial Fibrillation episodes when I forgot to take it."


"I had a bad experience with this. I felt dizzy, very anxious, and only slept 5-6 hours a night. I took for 2 weeks and today called my Dr. to share this. This medicine is not for me and made my depression/anxiety worse."


"I Started this to help regulate my periods. In the beginning id say maybe the first 4 were miserable heavy and my ovaries hurt really bad. My mood swings were really bad and now im just emotional and cry alot which I was never like before! Ive gained alot of weight with it which ive been really lucky most bc ive been on hasnt done that! Now im goin through the process of coming off of it and my husband and I want to start a family.Your periods will lighten up and get shorter and last a few days!!!! In my case ive stabilized in areas except that I cry alot lol. Its a good bc it has its ups and downs like they all do!"


"Ok first off whoever said to take with milk is a idiot. Taking too much calcium with this medicine as it bonds and makes the drug useless.

Always take with food the medicine will not make you nauseous. On day 3 of the 10 day course I still feel like rubbish and coughing regularly. But I can see improvement this was my 2nd course of medicine as the first failed. Despite what the person said about pnuemonia DON'T  stop taking this as is usually one of the medicines you would take paired with something else to treat pnuemonia. If you stop taking a medicine and the infection comes back it will then be immune to the drug and all its brothers and sisters. " food for though""


"Smoked at least 40 years - 2 packs a day. More if I was having a few beers. It's been 6 years since I've smoked!"


"Am 45 on blood pressure medicines. Have tried samples of all three erectile dysfunction medicines.  Viagra and Levitra both give me headaches.  Cialis, however, gives me no side effects whatsoever, except of course for a great erection (even if I've been drinking).  And it lasts for the 36 hours as advertised.  Nice to be able to take one on Friday night and be good for the whole weekend."


"Just took 1/2 of the tab today 6-2-17. I weigh 248lbs at 5'6". I'm hoping this works quickly- not feeling anything yet. But it's only 9:49am. My 1st GW is 220. 2nd GW is 200 3rd GW is 175. I'll report back with any progress."


"I have always struggled with worry, stress, and anxiety and recently have gone through some really difficult situation. My doctor diagnosed me with panic attacks and prescribed me a low dose of Xanax to take when needed. I take half a pill because I am afraid of developing a habit and hate relying on medications. This really does work and helps me a lot. I have only needed it a few times."


"I cut my Accutane medication short one month because of the damage it did on my lips....for the most part, my crazy acne cleared but I still had mild breakouts (especially during my menstrual cycle). My dermatologist prescribed me Epiduo and a certain wash. I'd recommend applying it around 3-4 times a week before bed because YES it does dry out the skin but that's how it clears the acne and renews your skin. After a couple of days of use, you will feel a burning sensation but it's tolerable--just keep your face hydrated the next morning by moisturizing (I find morroccon oil or vitamin e cream helpful) OVERALL, GREAT product that does the job and makes you feel confident again....no pain, no gain! results within a month!"


"I've had a phobia of public speaking since age 16. Heart races, voice shakes, neck turns blotchy. I tried confronting my fear: did toastmasters and gave 40+ work presentations. But, the physical reaction never went away. I merely lived with it. Finally, my boss told me that I need to do something about my nerves during presentations (not a helpful thing to say to someone!). I realized that this is an automatic response and not something that my mind can control. I read about Proprananol online and went to the doctor to ask her thoughts. She told me that a lot of people take it, including those in high-power positions. By now, I've tried it 8 times -- every time I was calm and flawless, humorous even. I wish I had found this 15 years ago."


"I was put on this because combo birth control made me super dizzy with migraines and throwing up.

I was super nervous to take this pill because of the reviews. However, so far this is the only pill that has worked! I do have cramps randomly and I am bloated a lot. No migraines or dizzyness! It does mess up your period though! Mine is never regular."


"Hi everyone! I just got the Kyleena IUD inserted today, so I cannot tell you about the experience of having it long term yet. However, I will tell you about the insertion process. Be warned that it WILL be painful. It is painful to have the cervix opened by the instrument while the IUD is placed into the uterus, however, for me it did not last any longer than two minutes. I would highly recommend taking 800mg of ibuprofen before hand, and having someone to drive you home. I would also recommend taking the day off afterward to pamper yourself by snuggling with a heating pad or hot water bottle and napping. The cramping persisted for me at its worst for about 2 hours, and for the next 6 I experienced bad cramping but it was manageable!"


"Took one tablet at 10pm last night and I woke at 2am with the worst cramps I have ever had. Last year I gave birth without pain relief and honestly the cramps were close to the pain if had then. I was shaking, I was hot and came close to collapsing I was so weak and dizzy. Yes I did go to the toilet but I would rather be constipated than have to go through that again. It's now 8am the next day and after having hardly any sleep I still feel sick and weak"


"I have been taking it for Sinusitis for 8 days. It seems to have helped and I am feeling better."


"I've just finished round 4 of Avastin /doxil.. I have developed painful swelling of my fingers with blisters. Is there any treatment for this? I also have mouth sores. I take L-glutimine, gabapentin and cymbalta. I'm in agony and feel as if I'm being tortured.."


"My experience was really good. I had little stomach pain. I took it at 6pm so I could drink lots of fluids till 8p. Then at 630a I went diarrhea. I just had trouble sleeping bc the constipation was no Bueno. The culprit in my stomach was gas and it was making me feel fatigue :-( I'm all better now and feeling good today. What also helped was drinking water and prune juice frequently. I believe it takes the side effects of the laxative away."


"This is the first time I've taken a diet pill that didn't leave me jittery or with balloon-head syndrome. I went grocery shopping about an hour after I took a dose. It was the first time in years that I only bought what was on my list."


"This was prescribed for binge eating as I have mood disorder and I need to lose weight. The binge eating was causing me to go over my calorie plan. I have taken it for over 6 months. I have worked up to 200 mg a day. Never had any side effects and no help with appetite either."


"I am having bad  side effects: my eyes, my nervousness, my emotions iching, not sleeping and my balance. I am having a hard time with this medicine"


"Glyburide 2.5mg works pretty well in lowering my blood sugar levels along with my metformin and Januvia."


"This pill has worked wonders for me. It has stopped my panic attacks and OCD. I recommend it to all those suffering from panic disorder."


"hey guys, honestly, this antibiotic isn't bad at all. I understand that some people react to drugs differently but if you ignored your symptoms long enough for your tendons to randomly tear you're just dumb. Talk to your doctor if things don't feel right. I came on here when I was prescribed Cipro and was TERRIFIED of the reviews. I have had no symptoms taking this for a week and i took it with lots of food and water and stayed hydrated. This antibiotic got rid of my UTI and Sinus infection in a day.  If you aren't healthy, are taking other medications, smoke, have preexisting conditions, or cant handle feeling slightly nauseous from medicine then yeah don't take it. Otherwise it did wonders for me."


"I'm 25 years old in a year ago to this day I suffered an accident which caused my back hurts a lot I've been having back pain for one year straight off and on. I have two little kids I have to keep up with so this is just awful and terrible for me the pain feels like a burning sensation. I was taking Vicodin for the pain and I seem to work kind of but as soon as I started to take tramadol I feel like it worked better the first couple of times. I will admit it didn't really help but I've recently been having really good experience with it that it's been really working. I think it was just because of my high tolerance to Vicodin. It wasn't working but recently I've been having a great experience it's a miracle medicine for me."


"I can't even begin with how absolutely disgusting and vile this was. I could not stop shivering like I was cold and gagging and I had goose bumps everywhere. I am finding it almost impossible to finish the second dose. I honestly wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy and I will never have another colonoscopy after this experience. While all that sucks sadly the medicine actually does work very well and gets the job done. I would recommend being extremely close to the toilet afterwards."


"Got skyla inserted  on Nov 19 and have been in intense pain along with the worst cramps I've ever felt in my life ever since. Going on day 4 and have had no relief. Motrin 800 MG will not touch this pain . This actual insertion is terriblly painful and this pain is ridiculous . Will keep you in the bed for days or even months ! Choose wisely when looking at BC ."


"I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer (very early stage) at age 40. As an alternative to hysterectomy, I tried hormone therapy: 160 mg Megace every day. endometrial thickness dropped from approximately 2 cm to a few mm in 6 months. No change in appetite. Skin oil production in the face dropped, which was great as I normally have oily skin. I had small uterine fibroids before Megace, which started to grow big and fast, which was the worst side effect."


"Wow. I have tried all kinds of over the counter medicines like Midol, Tylenol, and Advil for period pain. Midol seemed to help the best, but it just wasn't enough. My doctor prescribed me Naproxen. I'm so glad she did. It's all I need for cramps now. It works fast, too. I'd say it takes around 15 or 20 minutes to kick in. I just took one this morning, and my pain is almost all the way gone already. The directions say to take it the day before it starts, which is hard for me to predict sometimes, but if I take it at the right time, I experience almost no pain during my period. I also get migraines, and if I feel one coming on, I take one of these, then take a nap. When I wake up, the pain is usually gone. I'm taking 250 mg."


"Too much female discomforts.  Not sure if I should continue with it if there could be another product just as good with less discomfort.  Will be checking with my doctor."


"For me, Benzaclin works wonders.  I'm a 37 year old male who had some problems with acne as a teenager.  Accutane cleared those up.  Unfortunately, my condition regressed as I got older.  Benzaclin completely controls my acne.  My skin clears up after using it for a week or so.  I use it every evening.  In the mornings, I use a topical moisturizer safe for oily skin to avoid dryness.  Keep it out of your eyes-- it burns."


"I been taking these for a few months now after an abortion. So far so good! It is effective in preventing pregnancy. My face is clear ( no acne) , my periods are very short and light ( was 5 days and heavy before), I have no cramps or breast soreness during or before periods. Only thing I had was spotting and nausea in the beginning of taking them. Other than that, this is a good pill for me."


"This really helped to clear up my skin. I had the worst skin ever and was super self-conscious but now it's all good. I used this along with applying some Clearacil night-time products on my skin and it really worked. I recommend it fully, though I did notice I was more susceptible to sunburns."


"When I started Zoloft I had tremors.  My initial dose was 100mg, but after a few months I still had issues with anger and sadness.  My dose was increased to 150 mg and I seemed to be doing better.  My sad thoughts went away.  I had no desire for sex at all.  I still felt like I could sleep all day and all night every day.  I just recently switched to Wellbutrin XL.  It was hard on me coming down from the Zoloft.  I became more sad, depressed, angry, hostile.  A couple of times I had suicidal thoughts (didn't have before or while taking Zoloft).  Pros no weight gain with Zoloft.  Cons had to cut back on my caffeine, no sex drive at all, and just didn't quite work good enough for me."


"This is the third time I quit smoking, so I hope I can provide some assistance to others.  Chantix won't make you quit, but it helps reduce the cravings and takes the edge off those cravings.  No vivid dreams, but experienced nausea.  Taking the morning pill at least an hour after breakfast and plenty of water beforehand helped me.  When I get a craving, I take a deep breathe and hold it as long as I can.  It kind of simulates the smoke going into my lungs and satisfies my craving.  Brushing my teeth often also helped me."


"Flonase has greatly improved my life! My nasal allergies were terrible, even with taking an Allegra every day.  I had to carry Kleenex with me everywhere.  Mornings were the worst - I would sit with my coffee in one hand and a tissue in the other. It was miserable. After becoming tired of feeling awful every day, I paid a visit to the allergist, who prescribed Flonase. Within a week I was feeling 100% better.  No more itchy, runny nose.  No more post nasal drip.  I used to get a constant tickle in my throat, which I never believed was caused by post nasal drip, but evidently it was, because that is also gone!  I love this."


"I have been on many medications and this seems to be working the best. So far so good and only getting better. I have never really been depressed but I did feel weird and used to worry all the time and couldn't work out why (ANXIETY). I have been misdiagnosed with ADHD and BI Polar. All those medications made me worse (Zyprexa, Lovan, Lithium, Carbamazapine, Effexor). I now take 15mg of mirtazapine before bed and have accomplished more in 6 weeks then I have in years because I don't have that weird feeling hovering around me anymore. I think it would be wise for parents with "ADHD" kids to get another opinion because it could just be anxiety causing concentration problems."


"My doctor was reluctant to switch me from Humalog to Afreeza but did after I insisted I wanted to try inhaling over sc scares 4 times a day. After a simple spirometer blow test I got the green light. I learned to take my inhalation literally right before eating because Afreeza works that well. My doctor said its because my body does not need to break done the zinc first. After using Afreeza for 4 months I can honestly say this has transformed my life. I carry it with me so discreetly no more going to dirty bathrooms to inject myself if on a date. My A1C has dropped from 8.4 to 7.1 and I lost 12lbs my doctor say simply because I'm finally in control. Thank you Afreeza! I still have to take 12u of Lantus at bedtime but that's easy."


"I had the nexplanon implant inserted a week ago. The local anesthetic shot that numbed my arm hurt a bit, but the doctor told me what to expect so it wasn't too bad. I didn't feel the insertion of the implant. I had it inserted when I was on day 4 of my period (very light) and I came off my cycle normally and haven't bled since! I was on the pill for 6 years and I'm hoping over time my periods will decrease. Side effects are different for every individual person. The worst thing that could happen is to HATE it, and then just have it removed and resort back to the pill. It's worth a shot!"


"Xyrem has been life changing for me. I tried several different stimulants but nothing helped me. I finally found Xyrem and felt like I used to. I hate that the cost is ridiculous but it has been the only thing that works."


"I recently tried this medicine and I finally feel better, I will say I have only tried one other and it did nothing for me I am glad that I am not the only one who thinks it helps!"


"I switched from Crestor to Plavix after my doctors guidance and couldnt be happier with results."


"Straight Forward, the worst thing I could have chosen. Bled for 2 months straight and caused harsh pain in my arm with horrible bruising. It was effective in preventing pregnancy, but the negatives were too much. Glad I got rid of it..."


"I took Metformin 1000 mgs b.i.d. with no glucose control, added in Januvia 50 mgs 1 qd and STILL no glucose control and A1c sucked big time.  Now have added in 300 mgs of Invokana 1 qd and my glucose has dropped from 450+ to 110-120 and my A1c is down from 9.7 to 6.2!  Severe hair loss and leg and hand cramping but I am ALIVE!!"


"I had gall bladder surgery and got narcotics for pain afterwards. No matter what pain killer I got, they made me vomit even at half the dose. Ondansetron (Zofran) helped some but not fully. Once I got my first dose of Phenergan my nausea was completely gone. It made me very sleepy but I was very happy about. This was the best anti-nausea medication that I ever had!"


"I have been taking this drug off and on for 41 years.  As the new 24 hour drugs came out I would switch and try them, but they were never as effective.  I wish the 12 hr extended release was more available and came in larger amounts than 12 or 24 to a box. I have no side effects, in fact it has never caused me any drowsiness."


"Very expensive and no help at all with maintaining blood sugar"


"Been taking nitrofurantoin for a little less than 24hrs and already I feel anxious nauseous and heavy depression. But to be fair I haven't been taking them with food in me considering I have a loss of appetite due to my UTI. This is my second UTI and I don't remember me having severe side effects like the one's I'm experiencing with this pill. I'm gonna give it another day and if my symptoms don't get better then I'll be calling in for another prescription."


"I took Zomig because I got diagnosed with migraines during my second year of college. I took it during one of the lectures. My face got wicked itchy so I had to take a Benadryl. The next time I figured that I would just take the Benadryl with it so I was safe......I found out very quickly that I have an anaphylaxis reaction and almost stopped breathing. While I understand that I'm just allergic to this medication it really didn't get rid of the headache and just made things worse for me. Hopefully it will work for others."


"Caused muscle aches."


"Good Results"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I am thankful for all who have taken the time to post tips and tricks. My colonoscopy was today, & I'll add my hints in hopes of helping others. 1) Make sure the Suprep is chilled in the refridge for an hour or two, & mix with cold water. 2) Drink it with a straw  3) This stuff is VERY salty, and so was difficult to choke down. Other reviews suggest sips of soup or soda between sips of Suprep, so I tried both. Drinking Squirt soda worked best for me, with sips of water every once in awhile.  4) Had an 8 oz. bottle of cold water & took sips out of this as well. (Counts towards the 32 oz. you must drink afterwards.) 5) After drinking & before the action starts grease your rear with A&D Ointment to stave off butt rash.  Good luck!!"


"Great drug."


"In a lower dose of 25mg it made it easier to wake up in the morning and increased my appetite but in the higher dose of 50mg I got headaches, lost my appetite, and my sleep got even more messed up."


"I am at a advanced stage of Keracotonus and can no longer see out of one eye. My eye hurts considerablely every morning but the Lotemax drops help with pain. The only side effect I had was a mild rash on chin."


"I am on birth control but take it very sporadically so when I had sex about two months ago and the condom broke I went out right away and got plan b. My first period came and went normally but for my last one I only spotted for one day. Now I am freaking out and am due for my next period in a week and a half and I might end up getting a pregnancy test before then because I am really scared I might be pregnant and the side effects don't say anything about messing with your second period after taking the product."


"Just prescribed with this drug. I have had high blood pressure since 2004, no drugs have been able to lower it. Altace damn near killed me, my uvula was on my tongue. The doctors throw drugs at it but what is the cause? No one can tell me. Why do they think my calcium channels need to be blocked? Is that what is causing it? While on meds bp is consistently 190/113. Dec 24 2015 it was 204/142 on meds no headache."


"I just started this medicine today. This took almost all my pain away, but I was so dizzy and sick I didn't think I was going to make it through the day at work."


"I was put on Depakote ER and Celexa for depression and anxiety.  My mood and depression were helped and it knocked out my migraine headaches completely.  I experienced so many horrible side effects though. I gained 50 pounds in the six months I was on this, I lost my hair, I developed tremors that have not completely subsided, I had horrible stomach problems, heartburn, it made me extremely lethargic, libido was gone. This was just my experience with Depakote and if it weren't for all of the side effects I would have stayed on this medication.  Hope this helps."


"The first two days of being on Belviq were rough but after that I knew right away it was worth it. My insurance does not cover it but with the coupon it is $80. I did not get a refill thinking I would be fine without it but my weight loss has stalled and I am back to eating how I was before hand even tho I'm trying not too. My starting weight was 201 and my current weight after one month of taking it is 183 without exercise since I was healing from surgery! I just refilled it and will start going to gym with my next paycheck!"


"I have PCOS and have done for nearly 20 yrs
Periods lucky if I had one a year then started to have irregular bleeds
Was sent for biopsy and scan results showed complex focal hyperplasia
Gyn but me on provera 3 daily
I am now entering my 5 th week of really heavy bleeding and large cots along me depressed tired and ruling my life
Was talk of hysterectomy but I'm petrified of such a major op any help will be gladly appreciated"


"Metformin was helped to lower my A1C have had several of the side affect dizzy, metallic taste, dry mouth, and nausea. Having one side affect that I feel should be mentioned kidney functioning at lower levels being sent to a specialist please have kidney function tested"


"I have been on citalipram\celexa 40mg for years & it just wasn't working anymore....my Psych added the Rexulti .5 mg  3weeks ago and I have never felt better! I take them both @ bedtime. only real side affect is nausea sometimes in the middle of the night. I am so grateful to be able to live again.

My doc has given me a month's more samples while they work to try and get my insurance to accept this new med....I hope they do cause my pharmacy quoted me $1000 (not a typo) for my prescription!"


"I started taking Vicodin and carisoprodol 1 tab twice a day. I lived with pain for years until I started the medicines. But now it's creeping up to where I have to take them all the time.  Usually I take two Vicodin and 1 carisoprodol or the other way around just to feel fine.  I worry because I understand it can be addictive. "


"Unfortunately, I saw zero results. No change/help with appetite. No decreased cravings. Basically, no change with anything. Dry mouth and horrible insomnia were my side effects. I already suffer with sleep disturbances and I literally would only sleep a few hours a night while taking contrave. I tried it for two months and the cost is outrageous- $250 a month with a coupon. Hope it does help some folks- just didn't work at all for me."


"Great so far."


"I experience severe social and generalised anxiety. I was given 25mg of Atarax to take twice a day. I didn't feel it relieved my anxiety symptoms. It made me very sleepy. When I awoke in the morning I felt very groggy, constant yawning and didn't feel I could pay attention or properly, function at my job or get housework/errands done. I personally do not find Atarax helpful for anxiety."


"Tried the monostat one, and later in the day, the burn gets intense! I've used this product before in the past but never effected me this way before. I used organic virgin coconut oil to help relieve the pain and burn, and it's helped  tremendously! Coconut oil Naturally contains 3 different fatty acids (Caprylic Acid, Capric Acid, Lauric Acid) that have each been found to be effective against the Candida yeast. Cold compress does help a little too."


"I donated a kidney in 2004 and was diagnosed with my first gout attack in January 2014.  My Dr advised me of all the possible medications I am able to take for the attacks and for long term maintenance.  The ONLY long term medicines I can take because of the kidney donation was Uloric.  I've been taking it for about a month with a low dosage of Colchicine (unsure of spelling). It has been working and I personally have not experienced any side effects at all.  With major diet adjustments and the medication my uric acid level dropped 5 points during that month. I am trying my best to continue taking what is my only option but the cost is very high even with my benefits.  Looking for some answers as to options.  Much appreciate the help."


"The gyno put me on 8 mg estradiol for 3 days, then 4 mg which quickly brought my non existent estradiol levels back to normal and stopped the horrible joint pains and anxiety. I had to lower the dose to 2 mg and even that is making me very, very tired. It also caused muscle atrophy! I used to be very lean and athletic now my body is soft and fatty. But....I sleep better and feel very relaxed. I'm 40 years old - and my hypothalamus doesn't make enough hormones. In addition I take 50 mcg vaginal tablet once a week - it shrank my clitoris! I also take a small dose of testosterone but the estradiol seems to overpower that. My libido is still gone."


"I ALMOST DIED FROM LORZONE!!! Who ever took samples to a Pain Doctor's office knowing it can KILL you if you take other pain medicines with this KILL. I was not told this, I was just told to take two 750mg tablets a day. I swelled up in the face, hands and legs. I became so sick I had dark urine and could not eat as all I could do was throw up and have coffee ground diarrhea. I WAS GIVEN SAMPLES FROM A PAIN DOCTOR! No information was on the boxes! Before you take this make sure it goes with all your medicines you are on or you could DIE! (check your drug interactions) I MAY NEVER BE THE SAME. Who ever gave those samples to a pain Doctor's office they are trying to kill people!!  I can not tell you how many days I took the samples as I lost my MEMORY! I called the company they are to blame for this in my book!"


"I had a severe allergic reaction within 1 1/2 hours of taking my first dose.  Pounding heartbeat, redness and fainted for the first time in 57 years of life.  I was rushed to the hospital and given steroids and Benadryl to counteract the effects.  My blood pressure dropped from a normal 135/80 to 90/45. "


"I've been taking 20 mg Paxil for about 11 years now for anxiety, and though it makes me calmer it has several side effects that I don't like.  1. Decreased libido/decreased orgasm  2.  Constipation  3.  Decreased energy.   A friend of mine also told me I seem more "delayed" after I've been taking it regularly. Sometimes I take half a pill or skip days when I feel I need to get more things done, or I want my boyfriend to be happy.  But I notice if I skip it for more than 3 days in a row I feel "crazy" and hyper and scattered.  I definitely get more irritable when I'm not on it, but I "feel" more emotionally and notice I dance more often in the kitchen with my daughter when not under Paxil's control."


"I was on Yaz for two years and I had no problem with it, but my mom and gyno who doesn't even know me decided it caused mood changes for me and changed me to Loestrin 24Fe. I've been taking it for two weeks and its horrible. I'm having cramps randomly through out the month and light bleeding that is is completely random and I've been taking the pill every day at the same time. Before I started I had COMPLETELY finished my period. This is horrible, and I have noticed my acne getting a little worse but I never connected it to the birth control until now. I need to go back to Yaz. I guess maybe if Yaz doesn't work for you then this will."


"I had one in a few years ago and it was great, had no side effects at all. Got it replaced at the start of last year, with this one I have nothing but problems, my partner is always telling me that my moods are all over the place, my hormones, feelings have been all over the place ever since it's been in. Periods have also been crazy like I may bleed for a month straight then stop for a week and start again for like 2 weeks all up until the start of this month, am going to give it one more month and then I think I may get it taken out."


"I had the Paragard for 6 years and it was great. I was having panic attacks and somebody told me it was a reaction to the copper, so I had the Paraguard removed. Most Stupid decision I ever made was getting it removed. I went back to my midwife to get another Paraguard and they could not get it inserted correctly. I wish I would've kept it in. The first tine it was inserted was easy and pain free. The second time around pretty painful. It depends on the person and how it feels."


"I'm 23, never given birth, had it inserted 9/16. I have high pain tolerance, but the insertion was brutal and I nearly passed out. Horrible cramps and weakness the next few days. Although it's effective, I almost got it removed in the first couple of months because of side effects: crazy mood swings, cramps, bloating, cravings, acne all over, spotting. Like puberty all over again. My doctor advised me to give it 6 months and see how I feel. 4 months in and the side effects are getting better, more noticeable around my period, which has become much lighter but longer. I went from a heavy 4-5 days on the pill to a very light 10-12. I'm not sure if it's a good trade, but I'm going to wait and see if the hormones level out."


"(Female/moderate acne) I have suffered from acne since I was 12. This summer has been the worst for my face. I have acne all over my forehead and my cheeks. In the beginning of the summer I had small tiny bumps all over my forehead and my cheeks, that later became bigger. I've used many, many products on my face that worked quite a bit to not working at all. Then in the beginning to July I started using Retin-A 0.025 cream. The first week showed great results on my forehead my forehead is now clear, but my cheeks became worse. This second week that I am currently in is what I guess is the purge, my cheeks are entirely red and covered in acne. I don't want to go outside and my cheeks really hurt. Will keep updating, Not losing hope."


"I started 10 mg once a day 2 weeks ago for hbp of 160/90. From day one, I had severe headaches. Then I started getting aches and pains, kind of flu like feelings. Then the muscle cramps started. Now for 4 days, I have been vomiting and have almost zero urine output even though I am making myself drink 120 oz of water a day. I never thought of this medicine causing these side effects until my husband asked me if it could be whats causing me to feel bad. So, as of today, I emailed my Dr and I am stopping Lisinopril after looking up all the side effects. I'll deal with the hbp!"


"I've been on Subutex for 3 years. I take it for back pain resulting from a ruptured disc, 4 back surgeries, and then being diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. I also take it to avoid taking a boatload of opiates, which is what I was doing before. But I think this medicine has many more side effects than those listed. I have difficulty urinating and my doctor agreed that it is a common complaint with Subutex and Suboxone. It dries my skin out, especially my hands. They look like sandpaper no matter what I do. The dermatologist has been stumped by this; nothing she suggests or prescribes helps and she agrees that it is probably the Sub. Also, BIG problems with sensitive gums and dentures."


"I've had anxiety for over 30 years, I'm in my 50's. I've been on Effexor and a few other antidepressants, which helped some, but sexual side effects were weird. I reluctantly started Klonopin about 6 months ago but was afraid of the addictive properties of it.  So I started on a real low dose 0.125 mg, once a day. And some days I take the another 0.125 mg. totaling 0.25mg  per day. I'll admit it helps a lot. It makes me feel like myself again. It doesn't stop the scary thoughts and stupid fears that I have, but I don't react as poorly to them. I'm hoping I don't have to increase my dosage, but figure I have a lot of room to go up if I do. Still wish I didn't have to take them but this winter was rough and I needed some help until the sun shines again."


"Before taking Neurontin, there were 4 to 5 nights a week that I was unable to sleep. I started taking Neurontin regularly and I no longer have Restless Legs Syndrome. It has helped me tremendously and made a big difference in my quality of sleep."


"Two years ago I began having symptoms of H Pylori.  The first episode lasted about 20 minutes.  It was a terrible pain in my upper abdomen. The pain was more intense than gas pain, but I wrote it off as such.  After that, every 3 months or so I would be woken up by the same terrible pain and I always knew I wasn't getting sleep that night as it would last 4-6 hours and I could not get comfortable.  I had one of those night episodes, but the pain wouldn't go away.  It wasn't constantly the same degree of pain, some times it would be a churning pain, a bloated pain, or a general soreness.  After a week,  went to the doctor and was tested positive for H Pylori.  There was a huge difference/day 3 and the pain was just about gone/day 4.  Amazing"


"I need to be put on the list for a lung transplant and my Pulmonogist said that I must lose 10 kg in 3 months to have an evaluation.I have been on Victoza for 1 month and have lost 4kg. I started on 0.6 then increased to 0.10 and now I'm on 1.2. Only once did I have nausea and a slight headache. I do not feel hungry and I believe that Victoza works. I was on diabetes medicine tablets and insulin. I am still taking the tablet but have stopped the insulin. And now I'm slowly, very slowly finding the courage to exercise. Keep a positive mind and try to focus and do things that will complimentary weigh loss and a happy life."


"I use to tacke morphine and I was addictit of it I went to the emergency  the Dr precribe me this medication help me  soooooooo much only 3 pills thats  all I was perfect but now I try to withdraw the depression medicament I took 1mg I feel Super. I don't know in the future for now I am a young man again thank"


"I took Tenuate 25mg 5 years ago for 6 months and lost 55 pounds. After hurting my foot and not being able to exercise I gained back most of the weight over a five year period. My doctor gave it to me again in May of 2013 and I have lost 45 pounds. I weaned myself off of it and am maintaining my weight now with diet and exercise. I love my doctor for suggesting this for "women my age" (40s)!!  It works great!!"


"So I took this on Febuary 21 after the condom broke unfortunately! I am not ready for kids at all I just started college and I immediately took this maybe 45 minutes later, I had absolutely no side effects so I thought maybe it wouldn't work for me but sure enough I started my period on 3/2 one day late but I did!!"


"I have taken Topamax for bipolar twice. First for three years then now for a year. Do not know why I ever went off! This has been great for me after 25 years on lithium which was like living under 4 wet wool blankets. I also tried Depakote which only increased the weight gain and depression. At first, the side effects were a bit rough even at the initial very low dose of 25 mg. Very sleepy and tingly of hands and feet. BUT they pass, they really do. It may take a week of just being exhausted even when you increase your dose. The appetite depressant is wonderful. Also cuts down on general anxiety. Takes the real edge off the hypomania. I have not had any of the problems with finding words, etc. "


"Started with a month on 40mg and am now increased to 80mg. Happy that it's not making me too sleepy, actually waking around 5am, well before my alarm. Have lost some weight so happy with that. Still on the manic side so I asked for the increase and had my husband change my amazon password so I can't continue a spending spree. Some muscle soreness, not sure if that's the Latuda. And feeling like I over heat easily. Overall the side effects are tolerable and some of them welcomed. It's the first mood stabilizer that I haven't had horrible side effects with. I actually feel like it's helping me function better."


"I've taken many different medications for my ADHD  over the years, Adderall, Ritalin, Strattera, Concerta and Vyvanse. Dexedrinne is the most effective with almost no side effects. I only experienced slight appetite suppression with it and it never effected my mood negatively nor did I ever feel "cracked-out" on it. I now take Vyvanse because the slow release works better with another medication I take; however, I would strongly recommend Dexedrine to anyone who is looking for an effective treatment for ADHD. "


"I have to say...the best thing for me.  I've been on most kinds of pain medication, because of back surgery and methadone has saved my life. I take 80 mg a day.  The government is making it harder to get, the pharmacy doesn't want to fill large amounts. I don't get high on the drug, but it helps tremendously with chronic pain. I am 68 years old and a liver transplant recipient.  Been on it for 6 years. Constipation isn't a problem for me, it may have been at first, but my body has adjusted.  Much better, then morphine, diladid or oxycontin.  And cheaper by far."


"Worked great for Social anxiety and anxiety, the downsides for me are loss of appetite and sexual dysfunction
Had no luck ejaculating when I'm on it. Other side effects disappear around 2 weeks"


"A word of caution.  I've noticed how positive these reviews tend to be.  You should look-up the withdrawal effects when coming of this drug.  I've been on and off medication for the last 20 years. When I came of efexor 15 years ago I couldn't walk for three days.  But that was nothing compared to seroquel.  And it takes 90 days for the withdrawal effects to begin to wear off.  Seriously, before taking this drug you need to do some research.  I would STRONGLY advise you to find another drug."


"Saphris is the best. 10/10. For those of you who had bad experience starting out, I suggest trying it out again from a low dose. The key is to get the medicine in your system until it builds up in a few week. When all else failed Saphris was the one that had saved my life and improved it like it has reversed the chemical imbalances associated with my bipolar. My mind and sense of attention has been brought back from the severe depressed and mixed episode. And severe agitation. When I first started Saphris with 5mg it too gave me severe akathesia (restlessness). Thank fully after finding out that my other medication mirtazapine (Remeron) reduced restlessness. I can now sleep well after taking the Saphris with the Remeron without any insomnia."


"Loved this medication when I first started taking it. I started taking to get through depression and my Father was dying of cancer. Thought it was the best medicine ever until I gained 50lbs within 5 months and the effect of the medication started to wear off. What was worse was the effects of getting off this medicine, vertigo for a month with migraine headache and what I call brain buzz for a month straight, that was tough perhaps worse than having depression. I wouldn't have taken it had I read the reviews first."


"After 3 years on Synthroid (mostly bedridden), then 2 years on combination Thyroxine/Cytomel which got me up out of bed and moving around. Then, finally, 2 months ago, ofter 5 years of suffering, I was switched to WP Thyroid (Desiccated (dried) thyroid )and I have my live, my energy, my libido, my brain back, and any number of aches and pains throughout my body are gone. Why wasn't I offered this on day one?"


"I really feel it is important to share my experience with this drug. I did extensive research before making my decision to start the Lupeneta pack. I was scared and I prayed to have a good experience since most reviews for this drug are aweful.
I am grateful to be able to give this drug TWO THUMBS UP!  I am taking one month shots combined with the add back pills. The first month I experienced NO increase in symptoms. I bleed for the first month and a half, now my constant bleeding is gone! For the first month I experienced very mild hot flashes, now none at all. My quality of life is 110% better and I am pain free.  I am so grateful i took a chance on this medication. I finally got a break from the constant pain and exhaustion from endo."


"Enbrel has worked wonders...although after being on it for a year now I feel as though I have hit a bit of a plateau.  My joint pain has started to re-materialize. "


"Works ok for my degenerative back joint disease.

Only problem I have is headaches, but ibuprofen takes care of that.

"I've recently started taking Amitiza 24 mcg twice daily for chronic constipation. I wasn't having any luck with OTC  remedies.  It took me 3 days to finally start have things move.  I did experience slight nausea after taking each dose.  Tolerable though. Hopefully as the next few days come and go things move along much better."


"I am suffering greatly since Drixoral is no longer available.  I have used it since it became available without prescription.  It is the only thing that worked for me and my allergies. I am so miserable now it is not good.  Nothing else comes close to doing what Drixoral did for me.  Can't believe it is not being made any more. "


"I went to planned parenthood at 17 to discuss bc options for me. We both decided skyla seemed like the best choice for me.

The insertion was about a 4 out of 10. I was on my period so it helped.

I have had skyla for almost 2 years. I bled for 5 months and I was getting frustrated and about to have it removed. Im so glad I didn't because I haven't had a cycle in since.

Very happy with the adult decision I made and will be getting a new one placed in a year!"


"I have been on the pill since I was 16. Two years ago I was put on a new pill and I noticed I was super hormonal, angry, depressed, anxious, stressed, etc. It was horrible and took me a while of tracking my moods before I was convinced it was because of my birth control. I've had the Nexplanon for a month and it has been wonderful. I know a month isn't very long, but I noticed a difference in my attitude within the first week. I feel like I have energy again, I'm able to focus, I'm happy again, I'm me. I can't believe it took me almost 2 years to realize it was my birth control ruining my life. If you feel the way I did on the pill I highly recommend trying this out. It can't hurt to try."


"I had Heptatitis C 1A at a level 2.  I was not experiencing many effects except becoming fatigued occasionally . I had limited side effect of being somewhat tired and forgetfulness during my work.  It was not extreme. I am very happy to be cured."


"Gained excessive amounts of weight. Made me feel catatonic."


"I have had paragard for 3 weeks. Insertion was NOT THAT BAD PEOPLE, come on now. The doctor made me very comfortable and she had the cutest most open face ever. So, after procedure - first two days spotting, then period, which lasted quite long (but I haven't had a period in about 6 years, so ja). due for my 6 week update in a few weeks, but I LOVE MY PARAGARD. my husband and I have no problems with anything.....and people, seriously, the longer periods are something that can be dealt with way better than an unwanted pregnancy.
Ok, so update after 6 week checkup. oh yeah!! everything is 100%, IUD still perfectly in place. No worries about anything. Just get over the first 4-6 weeks, then you will ok"


"I have 4 herniated discs (C1/C2 & L4/L5), Fibromyalgia, and Migraine Headaches. I also have  Atrial Tachycardia, which basically means that my heart beats at extremely fast irregular rates, and the surgery that fixes 95% of these cases won't work on me.

My Doctor put me on Ultram 60mg 3 times daily and Morphine Sulphate Extended Release 50mg recently. I have to admit, at first I wasn't thrilled about the Ultrams. I'd taken them in lower doses before and told my wife I'd be better off on Tylenol. But I gave them a shot and to my surprise the pain relief was amazing! I love Ultram because I don't live in "FOG" all the time. I can drive, go to work, play with my Baby and spend time with my family. I would recommend Ultram!"
