Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"Overall this was a good pill for me. The only reason I stopped taking it was because i wanted to switch to a form of birth control that i didnt have to take everyday. At first for maybe the first two weeks I felt more depressed but after that I felt the same as usual. I did spot through pretty much the whole second month BUT that has happened with every birth control I have been on, so I think it is just my body. There was also a mild increase in acne toward the end of the first pack but it went away and my skin became very clear. This pill was also helpful for excess hair growth that i have in certain areas. It was a helpful pill for my pms symptoms and to regulate my periods."


"This has been good. "


"i was so excited about it at first and I am on day 5 of the trial.  I do not feel a difference.  I don't feel that it takes my appetite away at all.  Am I doing something wrong?  I want it to work very badly.  I take one in morning and the other around 3:00pm.  I walk for an hour everyday after work also. "


"Okay so I'm only on Day 2 but I had a MILD yeast infection & decided to get this 3 day medication , DAY 1 , there was a little tingling for about an hour & it went away ,I woke up & it seemed as if the YI was gone , PERFECT ! right ? wrong here I am on Day 2 & the itching is unbearable "


"My doctor always prescribes Levaquin for bad sinus infections and congestion because of my many drug allergies.  I LOVE Levaquin.  Within hours of the first dose all of the mucus in my head and/or chest starts to make a mass exodus.  At times, the volume and swiftness that it drains can choke you -- but this medicine works and it works FAST.  It's made me cough so hard I gag, but all of my coughs are super productive, if not overly so.  I recommend this to anyone wanting to get better and back in the saddle at warp speed."


"Used for ADHD treatment in my 8 year old daughter.  We had to increase her dosage to last the school day.  Only real pitfall is it comes in a glass bottle and not easily transported.  We switched to a pill that I can keep on hand....for mornings when ADD mom forgets :-)   ALSO stupid expensive unless you get the $20 copay card from your DR.  They will send you another after 12 uses.  Did have to get authorization from insurance for this med."


"I cried all the time! I was taking it for depression, but I became so sad while taking this because when I talked to my children I cried, when I was alone or with family, it didn't matter what was going on I CRIED! Needless to say I was switched to another med! Lol!"


"I'm on my second implant, and although I got on pretty well with the first one I've decided to have this one out early. For the first year or two I wouldn't have any periods at all, which was great, but towards the last year I'd start to have random, then more regular periods. This time, I've started getting bad cramps and heavier periods so I think it's time to try something else.

Insertion and removal is fine - you get local anaesthetic, might be a little bruising after and scars but it's nothing to worry about.

My biggest cons are that my sex drive went way down, and I gained about 25lbs. All in all it is effective and worth giving a go."


"I am a 76 year old female and have been taking Celebrex on and off for many years.  When my arthritis gives me pain I take it for about 2 or 3 weeks and the pain is gone.  Right now I have been taking it everyday for the last 3 months because I need a knee replacement and I am practically free of pain.  I highly recommend Celebrex for any kind of pain.  I have had no side effects."


"Prednisone, plaquenil, mobic, sulfasalisine and arava weren't keeping my pain at bay and I was so tired, stiff and sore that I was struggling at work. My Dr Jenny decided to try orencia by self injection weekly and after a month I started to feel better and my inflammation levels started to go down. I am now off the plaquenil and prednisone and working an 8  hr day 3 days a week gardening and landscaping. I hope it continues, it saved my work life."


"I was prescribed Geodon two weeks ago for psychotic episodes that I have as a result of my Bipolar 1 disorder.

In short, I am absolutely horrified at what Geodon has done to my body in the small time that I have been taking it. It has made my hallucinations worse, my Bipolar disorder worse (which was fine with the help of Lamictal), and it made my suicidal thoughts worse. I blacked out and self-harmed for the first time in over a year since I began taking this medication.

I had to call a pharmacist to work out an emergency titration schedule which did me little good since I started IMMEDIATELY withdrawing from the 40 mg capsules. It was the worst withdrawal symptoms I have ever experienced. Please be careful before taking Geodon."


"I had been taking Lo Losterin before starting Junel FE but had to switch per my insurance. I've been taking Junel since late July but since starting it, I've been hoping I would start feeling better.

Constantly feeling nausea is the #1 problem for me. It doesn't matter how accurately I take the medication, at some point in every day, I feel sick. And then I start to get paranoid and wonder if I'm pregnant and feeling morning sickness.

#2 is the irregular periods. I've never had a period that was consistent so I thought this would be a good way to regulate - boy was I wrong! My period will start in the middle of my active pills, be there for 3 days and then come back for 3 days on my iron pills. WHAT THE HECK, Vern?"


"I've been using Combivent since 2000 up to now but not on a regular basis, only during severe asthma attack and it gives immediate relief."


"I was on this pill for about 5 months and for about the first 3 months I was fine. My breasts were swollen at first but I surely didn't mind, until about the 4th month they started hurting so bad that I couldn't even hug people. Then towards the end I was having 2 periods in one month and then skipping a period. I took the pill daily at the same time. I'd say that the beginning experience was good but I had to stop taking it. Most people never had this reaction to it though, so I guess I'm just the odd ball."


"I have been using Campral for 35 days and I am amazed at how it works. It worked immediately for me and I have absolutely no desire to drink again. I wish I'd known abut it years ago. I'm not an alcoholic but I was a terrible binge drinker. I don't miss the hangovers or the regrets one little bit."


"I'm thrilled with this product. After using for 6 weeks I have gone 7 days without have to remove facial hair. I have blond hair so hence laser wouldn't work for me. After going through the menopause I was having to pluck almost daily, I was staggered at the speed the hair was growing. I heard about this product googling methods of hair removal, and found out it was available on prescription in the UK. I went to my GP, thinking I would have to beg to get it prescribed as it's very expensive. My GP was extremely sympathetic and happily agreed, and wished me good luck, as I believe sadly it doesn't work for everyone. I really hope more and ladies hear about this product. Absolute life saver!!"


"I've suffered from Hyperhidrosis for several years. It started on my forehead and just spread. I had given up all hope. I went to two Dermatologist's and I was just told to take with me extra clothing to change or that I had to loose weight.

I sweated no matter what. If it was snow outside, I was still sweating. If I just sat at home and enjoyed a movie I was sweat.

There was no cure for this and I had given up. I got social anxiety and I avoided people and situations. Could only wear dark and black cloths.

Suddenly I was hit by a miracle. Oxybutynin. I didn't belive the drug could help at all, but the Dermatologist said I should give it a try. My life has changed since then. I can finally live as a normal human being again."


"Just started Qsymia 9/24/13 weighing in @ 239lbs as of this morning 10/4/13 I weighed in at 232.6lbs. Eating a little healthier, smaller meals more frequently only drinking water or freshly brewed unsweetened Tea, no carbonated beverages, nothing with high fructose corn syrup and nothing with any artificial sweeteners. And I have to be honest I am no by any means a gym person I haven't stepped foot in a gym in years, however I do stay very active with housework inside and outside of the home, which after a while is exercise in itself. Also I find I can go on very little sleep, I am full of energy and feel great. This is a miracle in my book. Good luck everyone."


"First impression: Just got recommended this by the dermatologist and used it tonight. So far it seems fine, just annoying to apply as a lotion on my scalp since my hair is thick and my seb. derm. is all over  in different places on my head it took like 20 minutes. I might use it as a rinse depending if I got in on all the way or not by applying it as a lotion. It definitely calms the itching but feels a little stingy which is common and normal I just have to adjust to it. The smell is not really noticeable it smells a lot better than Tgel. It feels more like a oil than a lotion. We will see if this works! Fingers crossed in the mean time I'll hide in my french beret hat hoping that my head will clear up."


"Instant burning and itching as soon as the applicator was inserted!!!!! Do not use! I've had a yi before and usually get a medicine prescribed by my doctor however, I figured I'd save some money and just grab an otc. Terrible decision!! I'll be at the doctors office tomorrow and monistat will be in the garbage! The pain was worse than the yi itself. It literally feels like I'm itching out of my skin!"


"I have been on bontril for quite a few months now and have lost 30+ pounds. It's been very stubborn, but has came off slowly. I don't eat much anymore and it takes very little to fill me up. My energy levels are about the same and occasionally I will have asomnia. I wish I knew what to do to make it come off faster, I exercise and drink lots of water. I get weighed in every other week and have always lost weight it's just only a pound here or there. But I have to say this is the only product that I've actually lost weight on so I'm just thankful for that even if it's slow. Overall I'm just thankful I'm loosing weight. I'm a 5"8 240 pound female"


"I have been taking phenergan for insomnia and find it works great, I have had trouble sleeping most nights for a few months mostly due to being wired up at bedtime I have random thoughts running through my mind when I lie down which stops me sleeping and then I get anxious about not sleeping which then prolongs the time taken to fall asleep but Phenergan seems to calm my mind because of it's sedative properties. I take a 25-50mg doseage and 30 to 45 mins later I begin to relax and feel drowsy enough to fall asleep, I get a good 6 or 7 hours sleep on them, overall these tablets work for me. Only side effects have been dry mouth and groggy in the morning but those are better than getting no sleep at all."


"I am taking progesterone suppositories to help sustain my pregnancy after a miscarriage due to insufficient progesterone levels. I began taking it at 4 wks pregnant, and am now 9 weeks along. My side effects have included drowsiness, cramping, bloating and upset stomach. A rather unfortunate side effects has also been vaginal itching and dryness that leads to major discomfort for the hour or two after I have inserted the medication. These are little issues that feel big, but in the grand scheme of things, if this medication helps me to have a healthy pregnany and baby, it will be well worth it."


"I have been on Savella for only a few days so far.  I had taken Cymbalta for a while and it helped but not significantly.  My main symptoms are insomnia, fatigue and pain and the Savella has helped with my fatigue more than anything I've ever taken before.  As someone posted earlier I feel like I can actually plan ahead a little for the first time in a while.  My pain is still a major problem but I hope that will improve as I have been on Savella longer.  I have not really had any side effects at all.  I am tired of my illness controlling my life and I will not give up.  Hopefully Savella will be a real factor in getting my life back.  Good luck to everyone out there deaing with FM."

"I have been taking Pylera med for 5 days now first day it made me vomit and nauseous and now I have extremely bad diarrhea and getting hemorrhoids :"(

Is this normal?"


"I can't hold a computer job without Lacriserts.   For anyone with dry eyes or dry eye disease, these are God-send."


"Autumn depression"


"Had to take it in conjunction with Seroquel for it to work. Currently on 1g of Depakote ER per day and 50mg of Seroquel per night. With the two mood stabilizers, I am able to take 20mg of Dexedrine ER for my ADHD to focus on work/school without spinning myself into a hypomanic episode. Keep experimenting, until you find what works. I know it can be discouraging, but you'll get there eventually."


"After many years of steadily gaining I topped out at 330 lbs. I wanted the bypass surgery but family was not on board. After changing doctors and seeing a new Endo,  she suggested victoza and I am very grateful. I just came back from my 3 week follow-up and so far I've lost 14 pounds.  My appetite has subsided and there are many times where I know I'm hungry but I just can't eat. Terrible gas and diarrhea so I need to be careful from eating fruit and too much cereal. Portion control is easy because I cannot finish the plate anyway.  I went up to the full dose mistakenly the end of the first week and that was not good. I went back to the middle dose and I will challenge the higher dose in a couple of weeks. Good stuff. Happy."


"I didn't last a full week with this prescription, despite the fact that I was given three months worth. Within just a period of a couple days, I was nauseous, dizzy, it gave me diarrhea, and it made me irritable and tired. I was so sick to my stomach, that even though food smelled good, it instantly made me sick to my stomach. Too high dosage for me."


"I received Liletta June 2016, slight cramping at the beginning,  and a period that would last a couple weeks a month. Extreme bloating,  disgusting acne,  and weight gain. Then after 4 months,  it came out!! Had it replaced, it's only been a couple weeks of constant light cramping,  my period is now on and I think it shifted again and is close to coming out for a second time. I'm not sure what to do if this thing comes out for a second time...smh. Small percent chance of happening? I am not so sure? , I'm willing to wait but it's not looking too good."


"I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in November of 2016 my PSA was 14.8 and my Gleason Score was 6.  The good news is that the cancer did not spread outside to prostate and was in 9 out of 12 from the biopsy.   I took Casodex for one month and had one Lupron injection then stared 44 treatments of radiation around treatment 20 my PSA went down to .09.   After I complete radiation I have one more Lupron Injection to take then that is it no more Cancer I hope.  The side effects are some hot flashes, weight gain, shrinking testicles and frequent urination.  After my next and last Lupron injection I hope to be done with Cancer"


"I was in the Emergency Room for a kidney stone and was given a couple medications in my IV. I told the nurse that I was becoming very nauseous and needed something to prevent myself from vomiting. She came back with a syringe and thought it was Zofran. The nurse began pushing the medication and said that she was administering Reglan. About 2 minutes later, my chest felt extremely tight, I couldn't stop moving my legs or hold still. I had an extreme urge to rip my IV out and run... and run... and run... I had a feeling of anxiety unlike anything I have ever felt before. It wasn't your typical 'butterflies', this was like I wanted to escape my skin or just end it all right there. I would much rather be dead than to feel the way Reglan felt."


"I was really hesitant to take Abilify after being on Zoloft and later Wellbutrin without noticing effects, but I did anyways and within a few days I started noticing effects. I feel surprisingly good now. I find myself doing chores like washing dishes or my laundry and realize that usually I would just slump around saying "I'll do it tomorrow" until I'm nearly out of clean clothes or dishes. I find myself singing to songs on the radio and my mood is not only noticeably better -- but remarkably and incredibly better.

I haven't noticed any side effects except maybe that I'm a bit hungrier than usual -- for instance, I'll feel hungry and get a meal but not be able to finish it. So far, excellent results. Only about 2 weeks in."


"This is the worst generic pill I have ever taken. My cycle was extremely heavy, I have gained five pounds in three days while on this pill which is very depressing. I have not been very happy on the pill during the month and a half I have been on it. I am switching back to an older pill I took."


"Have had toenail fungus for 10 years. It got so bad that the yellow nails grew upward at a depth of 1/8th". Pretty disgusting.  Over the course of those years, I had tried every cream and topical that any doctor would give me, any store bought method and any old wives tale I could find.  NONE of them worked. They would never give me Lamisil in pill form quoting all the ill side effects.  Finally, a doctor who thought that was crazy given the extent of the fungus.  I am on my second month (of three) with the pills and I file the top down with a dremel every time I get a chance.  I am seeing improvement in the rate of the growth.  It has slowed down tremendously.  I am very hopeful that this method will extinguish this horrid fungus."


"Now, I'm not saying no one should use this contraceptive as the effects it has on people varies with some having no problems at all. My experience with the implant is one I wish to forget as it was very unpleasant. The only positive is that it did its job and prevented me from getting pregnant and the negatives are the side effects I faced with it: Constant pain in my arm where the implant had been inserted, depression, low and agitated mood...they were the main ones. I had to put up with it for six months, because the doctors refused to remove it and gave me the combined pill to help me with my depression, but it worsened it. It is out now and I do feel better, my arm doesn't ache anymore. Having it put in is a big regret for me."


"After suffering for more than ten days with a stuffed nose and post nasal drip cough, I tried this medicine for the first time this morning. Two squirts in each nostril and within an hour, I felt like a new person. I am so grateful for trying this stuff. It is such a game changer for me. It's now about seven hours later and I still feel wonderful. What a blessing."


"I've tried all types of birth control and this one is by far the best. I had spontaneous zits on my face but no severe acne however with this birth control I rarely have ANYTHING on my face.  (keep in mind it took me about 3- 4 months for it to completely clear up my skin) which is normal.  No weight gain. Very short periods. Only negatives it's that I cry like a baby over any emotional movie.  Like I can't even control it,  it's crazy.  But I'll take that over a pimple face any day.  I also like this specific birth control because my previous one used to make me bruise very easily,  but I see improvement with this type."


"I received one shot and was told I couldn't have another for 6 months.  It's been 3 weeks with no relief from the pain.  I am still limping significantly.  Hoping it is just a matter of waiting longer for it to take effect."


"I took the shot after 6 weeks postpartum due to breastfeeding aswell. Slowly but surely I started experiencing minor side effects which graduly became worse after the 3rd shot...OMG..i gained 26 pounds in 9 months, severe insomia , heart palpitations,hair loss, severe anxiety , arm pain shooting from my shoulder to my fingers, numbness and tingling on both arms, fatigue, depressed. When I really started getting concerned was when I started twitching and would goult out of my sleep with anxiety attacks..I had chest pains n poking sensations in my heart...I had no clue it was really from the shot till I decided to skip my next appointment and With in days of not getting the next dose I started feeling so much better..the shot is POISON!!!!"


"I was prescribed Tramadol after wrist surgery because I had an allergic reaction to Vicodin.  Unfortunately, it seems I cannot tolerate very many medications.  Tramadol barely dulled my pain, and it did not even help me sleep.  Instead, I developed nausea and dizziness the day after taking it.  At first I didn't connect the nausea and dizziness to Tramadol until several months later when I took it again for severe wrist and back pain and had the same reaction the day after taking it.  I wish it would work for my pain, but it seems I only get the negative side effects."


"I took two tramadol and had the best night's sleep for longer than I can remember.  I have chronic back pain I got from from when I was younger where I was in a tournament fight. I am 40 now with a kid and working 50 plus hours per week (mostly sitting down). I have taken everything and been in physical therapy and nothing seems to work.  I hate being in a fog of the other narcotics. I want to enjoy my life and my family not be oblivious to it.  This is amazing. I don't want side effects so I'll keep it to a minimum."


"I have taken 10mg Citalopram for two weeks so far and have found significant relief from depression. I am considering a higher dose to get more benefit from the drug, though I will firstly consult my GP."


"BP1, most recent episodes were manic and mixed. Taking lamotrigine for the last 11 months as mono-therapy (with klonopin PRN) after no meds for 15 years. Upping verrrrrry slowly, got up to 100mg about 4 months ago and it's been mostly smooth sailing since then. Kpin is down to .25mg, 2-3x/month so I know the lamictal is helping my anxiety and insomnia. OCD is WAY improved as well. Oh, and I was really afraid of the weight gain with mood stabilizers but at my yearly checkup last week I found out that I'd LOST 20 lbs over the last year without even realizing it."


"I love the Implanon. I have tried all other birth controls except the ones you insert in the uterus or Mirena. Anyway, my period has been nonexistent since 2010 and my partner couldn't be happier. I do have sharp back pain and cramps including mood swings basically everything that my body would do if it was "pregnant" like the OBgyn explained. I have gained 20 plus pounds but I know a majority of it is my diet and exercise so I highly recommend this to women who want something long term."


"Stated taking Lexapro 10/22/2015. Immediately afterward, could not achieve an erection or an orgasm."


"I have had this implant for 8 months now. I have had one normal period, my 2nd month. Since then I spotted for months on end plus a period that starts very very heavy (heavier than before I ever took any birth control). I have one week a month with no period, at best. It obviously sucks bleeding all the time. I might get it taken out. My doctor originally said it would take about 6 months to regulate in most people, some women don't have periods at all, etc. I guess I am not those women! I never got my period on my old pill, might be time to switch back to a crappy daily method. :("


Acetaminophen / caffeine / isometheptene mucate

"I have had migraines since the age of 7. I am now 61. It took a lot of trial and error but Prodrin actually works at the onset. I also have trigeminal neuralgia which is excruciating nerve pain around the facial and ear area. Surprisingly the Prodrin helps stop it in its track along with an anti-seizure medicine Lamictal. That was a bonus for me."


"For 18 years, panic attacks ruled my life. I went through more than a few psychologists, worked on issues that weren't even issues and finally, my doctor prescribed Klonopin. I cannot tell you the difference in my life. I went from agoraphobia to being free in a very short time. I drive, fly, walk and go where I want to. It's a genetic condition. I have siblings with panic disorder as well. I take 1mg Klonopin 3 X a day. This medication allowed me to have the life I deserved."


"Found it extremely helpful plus no need for blood work but w/ my sensitivity to many of the additives I can only take one brand, which is the generic brand."


"Love it love it"


"If you have spent money on Mucinex, etc then you will appreciate Duratuss G even more for the lower cost and better job!"


"Awful side effects- insomnia, unable to stop body from jerking, mind racing, food cravings and WEIGHT GAIN."


"I started taking this a week ago and I have also been very sleepy. I had about 12 hours asleep and felt the need to take a nap that afternoon. I also have been feeling like my ovaries were tender and somewhat sore. It's not very painful but uncomfortable. I was also very moody."


"I feel very conflicted about this medication. For about 80% of the day it helps me to be more stable and less reactionary. But then every day or every other day I have a breakdown and start sobbing, get very moody and paranoid, accuse my partner of not loving/caring about me, want to self harm and die. It has helped my chronic pain and doesn't cause me to dissociate constantly like many antidepressants do. However, I'm not sure it's worth it because of the breakdowns, but I'm scared to go off of it because I heard withdrawal is awful. I am just about ready to give up on medication altogether at this point."


"I love this medication so much! It helps me so much with my impulsive behavior! Don't listen to all of those reviews that say that it makes you have a new personality. It is very rare. If you use it you will be sure to thank me!"


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


"I tried every psych medicine on the market and none controlled my bipolar problem until I was prescribed clozapine. This med has given me my life back. I am able to live a balanced, normal life on this med with little to no ill side effects. This med controls my manic, erratic behaviors and I feel stable."


"I'm just on day five of taking one pill a day in the morning. My appetite has already been stopped in its tracks. I'm just curious what will happen when I get up to four pills a day.     Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled that my appetite is being controlled. I just hope the weight comes off!  Have any of you experience the rapid loss of appetite?   This is good, right???"


"A couple of weeks after taking Vraylar I started noticing that (as having Bipolar 2) my moods weren't really changing. Finally, sometime near the third week, I started noticing that I was pacing, couldn't seem to concentrate on anything, and had a hard time simply sitting down. I realized that it was making me manic. I DO NOT AT ALL would want anyone else to take this if anyone notices these side effects. I am going to stop it immediately, I nearly had a breakdown. Could not stop crying. Also going to talk to my doctor about it, but I can't continue it. I wasn't even paying for it because I was taking a sampler, and my doctor was going to give me a voucher to see if my insurance would take it."


"I had chronic insomnia and the Doctor tried Ambien, Lunesta, and some other hypnotic which the name escapes me right now. Those drugs (for me anyway) are worthless. I would get up in morning and find a mess in kitchen, (I live alone) and no memory of fixing food. Furthermore, began having terrible dreams/nightmares. So Doctor tried me on Dalmane, he said it has been on market for many years. It worked great. No 'hangover'. Slept 6 hours straight for first time in months."


"I was taking 1mg of Doxazosin, for about a year, for my urine stream.  I went off this and went to Terazosin, when the Doxazosin became unavailable.  Taking 1mg of Terazosin, for 3 months worked very well, a strong urine stream and sexual functions were improved, the best in a few years. Then the product became unavailable an was put on 0.4 mg of Tamsulosin, within 15 days my urine stream and sexual functions reverted back to 4 months prior.  I complained to my doctor and found another pharmacy selling Terazosin.  I have been on the pill for 3 days and waiting for the product to adjust to previous levels.  Remember if it works, don't change, you'll be disappointed."


"Have been on many other pain medicines just started on Soma and I finally slept and I can do basic household chores. Pain is still there but not like it was I have degenerative disc bulging disks and broken tail bone that now curls up that causes great pain. I am so glad that my doctor prescribed this for my pain as the other medicines (Flexeril, Tramadol, Vicodin, Amitrip) did nothing for me."


"I have only used this once so I am not sure about ongoing side effects, but it is absolutely amazing stuff. It made my skin red-free and I felt like I was looking at my face for the first time. It lasted for the evening, then I washed it off. My skin became blotchy and stung a little bit, but this morning it is at its normal redness and not worse. I've been trying cures/remedies for rosacea since I was 19 - I'm so relieved right now, although a little bit wary because I still don't feel like something this good can be true. Looking forward to using it again today! "


"Excellent results; no side effects."


"So I started this pill and was excited but had to stop right in the middle of the pack.  I mean out of nowhere, there is a burst of bleeding.  I went to the bathroom and it's like my period snuck up on me and it was almost 2 weeks before my period is due.  There was lots of clots and brown yucky stuff.  On top of all that my moods were really crazy. I would be lying in my bed and would feel like crying and then be okay the next moment.  I have only been off now for two days cause I just couldn't take the crazy mood swings and the bleeding anymore.  I also noticed a great deal of fatigue and even that has changed even after just 2 days off of loestrin. It's not worth it and I cannot wait for it to be out of my system."


"No more grand mal seizures."


"I just started this medication for my fibromyalgia about 3 days ago.  I'm already sleeping better, getting relief from my chronic migraines AND it has helped my irritable bowel syndrome.  I know it's still too soon to tell but I really didn't expect results this soon.  Hopefully things stay on the up and up.  I have suffered from fibro for over 16 years now and have tried numerous meds."


"After taking Vyvanse 50mg for 4 months for adult ADHD, felt on top of the world but instead I became manic and had an episode that my wife is using to divorce me and keep me separated from my daughter. I've not taken it for 2 months now."


"I have never been on medicines for ADD. My parents refused, as an adult I found life to be difficult with this disorder.  After taking Wellbutrin. Feel like my true self. Like a "normal" adult. I have focus and can complete tasks. I don't feel the need to stay in bed to avoid the world. This medicine has been a blessing."


"I was diagnosed with PCOS in January 2015 then started metformin in July and got a BFP in August. Metformin helped me ovulate and regulate my menstruals. Very thankful."


"I have been on so many SSRIs over the last 30 years. Nothing has decreased the dark place I was always in. It has caused my friends and family to try and disguise the depression. Very sceptical about Remeron. Last night was night 1 and woke up twice for potty, no probs. Woke up and it only took 2 hours to be alert. It works. I'm not in the dark place, I feel good.If it keeps getting better then I thank God. For the most part I can think clearly , just a hint of anxiety but so grateful.Don't be afraid to try it."


"So far it seems okay. It controls my eating."


"Due to thyroidectomy I am hypo thyroid .While on synthroid I felt awful. High anxiety, quick to anger. Definitely did not like this drug. I like levoxly and naturethroid. Doing better. Keep trying other meds if you feel awful."


"This drug really helped me! I noticed a huge difference almost immediately and so did others around me. It helped me put down the bottle and focus on daily tasks along with not freaking out on other drivers with road rage as I previously would do. I would definitely recommend trying it, at least. As far as the weight gain aspect, that's kind of in my favor because it was always hard for me to keep weight on/gain weight. So I'm happy to gain some weight. I gained about 10 lbs in a week or two. That being said, it has become a chore to constantly be eating & only eating healthy foods due to my extremely high triglycerides (genetic)."


"Works great I love it."


"I have had insomnia for years. But lately it has just gotten to the point I wasn't getting any quality sleep. I was taking 1mg Klonipin at night, which does relax me but did not make me sleep. I saw an ad on tv about this medication. I asked my dr about it and he said let's try it. I have been in it for 2 weeks and I am getting the best sleep of my life . I take it about 15 minutes before I get in bed. Once I am in bed, in asleep in a few minutes . No waking up, no tossing and turning. I sleep like I have never before . It last between 7-8 hours. I woke up look at the clock in amazement that I have actually slept 7 hours. It is the best sleep aide I have ever tried. Ambien snd Lunesta did not work at all. No bad side effects."


"I've been on B about 2 weeks and lost 5lbs.  I'm not doing anything extreme diet wise...eating calories based on BMR and plan to exercise more regularly next week.  I've had mild cough, fatigue and body aches but I hear it'll subside.  It's worth it right now.  I seem to have more awareness, self control and get full faster.  I have hypo thyroid and losing weight was always hard for me even with crazy programs and costly supplements.  For the first time in forever I feel in control of what I'm choosing!  I know it will be a long journey but I'm ready."


"In Jan of this year I weighed 170.0. I had some gallbladder issues that ended up with it being taken out and caused some weight gain. It is now May and my last weigh in was 141.4. I love my adipex and I would recommend it for anyone. I have had two children and so my body has been through the ringer. I love the energy it gives me and the appetite suppression. I also like that it makes you thirsty and the only thing that helps is water. I am now a water drinker and I drink well over the daily recommendation. I love this!!"


"Unfortunately after more than a year, pervasive stuff like weight gain, increased lipids, diabetes all started to be present. Great for a while but I started toned more of it to deal with psychotic symptoms and the sedative nature of it got in the way. Swapped to paliperidone ER, which is more focused on the psychotic symptoms and doing well without the sedation."


"Been on escitalopram now for over a year.  Have had dry mouth the whole time.  Anyone else experience this?"


"After 4 years of taking Trospium doctor tried me on Flomax. Not only did it not work I expereinced terrible side effects including racing heart for 3 hours each day, sweating, heavy legs, stomach upset, lightheadness and shaking. Also went from not having to get up at all during the night to needing to get up and urinate 2-3 times each night. Now going back on the trospium"


"I have had a good experience on this birth control. Honestly I was terrible at taking a pill everyday. So I switched to this after a year on birth control pills. Its convent. Unnoticeable. You don't feel it, neither my partner noticed it, only of a few occasions. No mood issues. No unusual bleeding issues. No gain weight or anything honestly medically concerning. Would recommended it to my friends as it was to me. Only thing I would say is its tricky to insert but it loosens up. You can remove it during intercourse too. I tried that and honestly now I just leave it in."


"I have had this for 4 weeks now and think all girls should get it. I always had a regular cycle and a period every 4 weeks but now haven't had one since before I got it. I haven't gained any weight (yet) amd haven't had an increased appetite. The only slight downfall is I get a little bit of pain in my arm sometimes but nothing unbearable. Would highly recommend!"


"I wanted to share my experience while being on celexa. Before celexa I was a wreck, having racing thoughts and felt like I couldn't get out of bed. I'm a mother of two and a happily married wife. I've suffered with anxiety for about 6 years and I was so scared to get on medication. It wasn't until I seen a constant pattern of me going to the emergency room with panic attacks and the hospital staff knew my name as soon as I walked in! Being on celexa has completely changed my life back to the woman I was. It literally gave my mind a clear focus and now I live in the present. Not worrying about a million and one things. Before I couldn't even communicate because my thoughts would just race and I would be stuck in my own head."


"I took BuSpar for a few days for Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but it cause a "tic" in my eye. My eyelid would flicker uncontrollably every once in a while. Apparently this is pretty serious, and can actually be permanent even after ending the medication, which was very scary. Luckily for me, the tic went away when I stopped taking it."


"I've been on 30mg of Mestinon two times a day for about three months, I had diarrhea the first few days, more shortness of breath, and some drowsiness, after that I started noticing improvement in my cognition (the worst part of my dysautonomia & Fibromyalgia, to me), and I am able to keep 'doing' things longer than I could before.  I do notice when it begins to wear off and I may go up to three times a day on it.  I'm very pleased.  The only negative I have is big increase in eyelid twitching, and awful muscle spasms in my feet.  My neurologist has had me start B-6 for this and it helps a lot."


"This cream is amazing, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who struggles with acne. When I first went to the doctors about my acne they said to use this cream but it is very strong with antibiotics. I had spots all over my face when I first went and in about 4 days most of them went. If you get any issues then I suggest using a different type if acne cream like duracell."


"I was put on Cymbalta approximately 4 yrs ago for depression due to my spouses terminal illness.  I was experiencing lower back pain at the same time and subsequently had surgery 2 yrs ago.  During this time I tried to go off the medicine but discovered that I do have severe pain from osteoarthritis.  Went back on Cymbalta and have almost complete relief from it.  I take 60 mgs. at around 1:00 pm. Morning dosage brought diarrhea quickly and this does not cause that."


"I'm 41 and started having acne problems in my mid-30s. Lots of little bumps and zits. After years of it getting worse, despite efforts with ProActiv etc, I finally went to a dermatologist. I have been on this medication for about 5 months, plus azelaic acid in the morning and tretinoin at night. This combination is working - my skin is nearly clear! Downsides: it does hurt the stomach a bit on an empty stomach. Recently I've had an yeast infection, so I laid off the antibiotic for a few days to see what would happen - zits started sneaking back, so now I'm downing yoghurt, and slathering on the sunscreen...so worth it!"


"Started to get post nasal drip horribly over four months ago. tried every otc drug know for allergies, remove bedroom carpet, bought high end humidifier, air purifier, netti potted and drank four liters of water a day. Nothing helped and i would wake up every hour and a half coughing from mucus build up. This medication stopped my symptoms within 2 days.

Its very expensive but worth every penny."


"I am 42 and began taking Cymbalta 4 weeks ago. I started with 30mg for 2 weeks, and am currently taking 60mg a day. I began taking this drug due to the advice of my doctor after approaching him about my uncontrolable anger issues that have plagued me my entire adult life. I have to say that it has been a lifesaver. I have never gone 1 week, never mind 4 weeks without an anger outburst or stress related outburst. My family is happier..I am happier...I have never felt this great...only side effects are some dry mouth at night and occasional tiredness during the day...an easy trade off for a drug that has given me my life back!!!"


"52 currently, Fibromyalgia began about 16 yrs ago.. Last few years have been really tough, and in discussing at deer camp with friends, one of them mentioned Mucinex. Read up, bought the 600 and raised it to 1200's the next week. My pain is at least reduced by 50%! I'm hearing other supplements in conjunction could help even more but for the moment I'm very pleased to have been told about Mucinex!"


"Day 3 of duac and all I'm experiencing is dry and flaky skin"


"So far, so good!!"


"The drug would get a 10 as it worked miraculously for me.   In my case -- and this probably won't happen to you -- the medication caused me kidney stones, the first of which was agonizing and led me to stop using the medication.  Then the headaches resumed.  I was willing to take an occasional Kidney Stone attack as a tradeoff for frequent migraine so I went back on the drug knowing the risks.  Unfortunately, I peed gravel constantly, oddly without pain, but it was a warning.  I'm now off the drug.  If it did not cause me that side effect, I would have remained on the medication as it was, again, close to 100 percent effective.  Not everyone responds the same way; your experience will probably be different."


"I just want to say before I start this, that I have a very low pain tolerance. I am 18, with 1 kid, and I would just like to say that I thought this would be a terrible experience because of some very bad reviews. I think everyone reviews when something goes bad and not enough people review the good things. I was pleasantly surprised to not feel any pain at all. When they measure your cervix, it is uncomfortable. When thy clean your cervix, it feels like a pap smear. And I have read a lot of reviews where people say they feel a pinch, but I didn't even feel it. All I felt was the cramps afterward. But this is only the day after I got it as I am writing this and I feel just like normal. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!!!!!"


"I started on Beliq 3 days ago. I will post an update after I go to the doctor in a month for a weigh in and to see how I handle the med. I will say that is has decreased my appetite and I get fuller faster in the short time I have taken them. I take 10 mg twice daily.  The side effect I have noticed is a dry mouth... Therefore, I'm drinking more water."


"Insomnia for years. Prescibed temazepam out of desperation. Told to start at 7.5 mg first week. Then take 15mg second if wasn't affective first week. Told that it night take up to a week for it to work. Took 7.5 first night. Got 2 hrs sleep and during work, later that day felt weird. I already was going crazy from lack of sleep. Could not take another chance feeling that way at work from temazepam. I was given trazodone 8 month's earlier 50mg from doctor; I never used it. Was afraid I'd be groggy.
Did some research online, decided , out of desperation to try 50mg trazodone, with 7.5 temazepam, finally got some sleep, not 8 hrs but enough. I doubt this is recommended,I probably shouldn't take it together. Anyway taking combo 1, 2x a week. Don't want to become physically addicted. At least I get a few days of sleep. "


"I've taken Veramyst for 11 days. My cavity fluid was "moderate." In one week the fluid was reduced to "small." A moderate amount of fluid is very uncomfortable to me, with shortness of breath and sinking oxygen level. Blood oxygen went from 91% to 96% in that first week of using Veramyst. It's now at 98%. A huge difference to me in how I feel with the moderate amount of fluid to the small amount. No side effects noted."


"I started 50mg of Sertraline bc of depression, racing thoughts and lots of suicidal urges/thoughts. I've been on the meds for 3 weeks now. I haven't had those major depressed moments like I did. Its like all that crazy head stuff fell away. I'm not super anxious anymore either. I feel calmer and less stressed/angry. I had a lot going on. I decided to get help instead of trying to do this alone. I have had some insomnia but if that's my only side effect, I will take it!! In the past I always stopped treatment when I started feeling better...this time I'm going to continue for my own safety. Depression is not a good place to be. Wish all readers the best!"


"I had been a smoker for about 19 years about a pack a day. I had tried a couple times to quit smoking, but nothing ever lasted more than a week or two. I was nervous to try Chantix because of all the message boards about the side effects, but I tried anyways. Not even ten days in, I quit smoking. It surprised me how easy it was and then a couple weeks after that I stopped taking the pill and I haven't had even an urge. I recommend it. I had a couple super vivid dreams, but nothing crazy and it was totally worth it."


"No terrible side effects other than extremely reduced libido and some nausea/weakness."


"Was put on moxifloxacin for bronchitis and pneumonia. Only on day 3 of the medication, however, I feel extremely disoriented and dizzy, with nausea that come and go. Feel that my lungs have cleared up a little so far so it is effective."


"I’d been taking Gianvi for years without any issues then my pharmacy randomly switched me to Nikki. I’ve been using it for the last 2 months and since I’ve started using it, I’ve had frequent migraines, mood swings, acne, and weight gain. None of these occurred while taking Gianvi."


"I've suffered with undiagnosed bipolar 2 for almost 3 decades. For almost 20 years I was on various antidepressants that didn't work, and made my depression worsen.

My primary doctor suggested I see a psychiatrist for my lingering depression. Due to the stigma of mental illness, I put it off, but finally saw a psychiatrist.  She diagnosed my condition,  and I started a low, 25 mg dosage of lamotrigine. My dosage will slowly increase over the next 6 months to a year. The first time I entered the psychiatrist's office, I was filled with melancholy and regret.  My first follow up visit to the psychiatrist, I was filled with hope and resilience."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I am taking Gavilyte now. I have drank 4 cups and that is all I can handle. If I try to do anymore I will just throw it up anyway. It seems to be working so hopefully 4 cups is enough. I sure hope they come up with a much better way to prepare for a colonoscopy by the next time I have to do this. This is awful!"


"Zipsor is the ONLY med that gives me relief from intense pain in both shoulders due to widespread inflammation. This drug is absolutely amazing."


"Was given this to substitute for Protonix due to insurance conflicts and price. This works better than anything before as long as you keep it regular in your system. I have only experienced minor side effects while on it thus far, including minor cramps, loose stools and an occasional rash on my neck or face (which is common)."


"This is Michael's daughter Elyssa.  I am his voice now since he was misdiagnosed with double pneumonia and given Levaquin.  IT KILLED HIM.  What more do you need to know?  Don't take it.  "


"At 29 I have multiple joint pain and 2 ruptured lumbar discs with sciatica and numbness in my arm and foot. Taking narcotics and opioids helped but then my meds were stolen from my purse. Went to my pain doc for something to help with withdrawals and pain until my next refill. He gave me a sample of Cymbalta. I am impressed with the results other than the headaches and increase in appetite. Helps with my morning stiffness and loss of balance and makes my pain bearable. I do seem to get really sleepy when the headaches come on but if I can take a power nap it helps. My mood is much better but I attribute that to having less pain as I have never had depression. I hope the headaches go away."


"I have been on this drug for five years and have had no problems. Since being on it, my cholesterol levels have drastically reduced, although I am on lipid lowering drugs as well. It is certainly better than Kaletra"


"Mobic was prescribed to me by my podiatrist after finding that I have Posterior Tibial Tendonitis, Osteoarthritis in my big toe joint, and a heel spur all on my left foot.  I find that 7.5 mg Mobic has really helped with the Osteoarthritis and other aches and pains that I have developed in the past few years.  I find it best to take before bed, as I have a 4 month old daughter to take care of.  Throughout the day I am taking Tramadol, wrapping, and icing my foot for pain relief.  I find that the combination works really well.  In the middle of the night I am ready and able to take care of my baby girl."


"I've been taking Apri for 7 months now and have gained about 8 pounds. I have lost my sex drive, and when my period starts I get horrible cramps. However, I do always know when my period will come and it only lasts for a couple days. This has been the most predictable pill I have taken."


"I've been on Loestrin 24 FE for a year and my new doctor emphatically took me off of it today.  Yes, the pill did it's job (no baby - yay!), but I also experienced increasingly light/missed periods, frequent spotting in between, and most recently, recurring ovarian cysts which grow so large that they rupture and cause the most excruciating pain I've ever felt.  I was afraid that I had a problem with my ovaries, but my doctor thinks I'm fine and that the pill is to blame.  I'm 27 years old and in the past I have taken three other brands of birth control pills (Yaz, Yasmin, and Aviane) and have never had a problem."


"I am 54. Over the past seven years I have tried several medications. Beginning in 2009 with a compound cream. I stopped using the compound because I no longer felt that the pharmacy was mixing properly - no effects.  I switched to Axiron - no effect and messy. I went to Androgel, then Fortesta, couldn't really identify the feeling that I was looking for. I do realize that the free testosterone was the issue. During 2015 I didn't take any at all as I was out of the country. I developed gynocomastia - as a result of too much estrogen.  Before I left, I started taking Testim - which seemd good. However, the insurance company sent me a letter saying that they would not cover anymore.  I had to take one of the others.  I want to try injections."


"I guess I'm sitting here looking for help to get down the second bottle. The first I took slow with a lot of little sips and a water chaser in between, but for this one, I'm gagging and throwing up every drink.

I'm never doing this again."


"It worked for me! I am 210 pounds and it worked. 2 weeks ago, The condom fell off without him or me knowing. he came in me and We didn't realize it was off until he pulled out. We were terribly scared. Immediately after we realized this, we went to pick up Aftera from CVS. It was $40.  I took this pill about an hour and a half after the incident. I was saving up money for an abortion if I needed it just in case. But luckily my period is here, and only 1 day early! I'm so happy and excited about effectiveness. Thank you aftera."


"Taking Vesicare for overactive bladder and bladder irritation. I have been on this for over one year. It helped somewhat for the overactive bladder and irritation. Makes my mouth very dry and blurred my vision pretty bad. I don't know if I will continue this medication as I do not think the side effects are worth it. Also made me BLOATED."


"I took Lisinopril for about a year and a half. I coughed so bad all the time I could not stand it any longer. Stopped up head and hard to breathe.

My doctor changed me to Diovan 160mg and I have been on it for 2 months now and my head has cleared and my cough is completely gone. My blood pressure has been in the. 110's over 60's. So far I am very happy with Diovan!!!"


"I experienced a very low libido, very few erections, and dry orgasms."


"Having had a virus for 4 weeks and then secondary Bronchitis I was just recently prescribed this.  I am only 3 days in and already there is a big difference in how I feel, the mucus is lifting, I can breathe and my chest feels less tight.  However it is not without the slightest of side effects which include nausea, a feeling which lasts about an hour after taking and a slight upset stomach and a headache but I can live with all that."


"I'm 22 and decided to get Skyla for birth control. I have an aura with migraines so my doctor said it narrows my options for birth control as I'm at a higher risk on an estrogen pill. I had Skyla placed 2 days ago. I was nervous for the insertion but it wasn't bad. Just imagine the worst menstrual cramps thats how it feels while it's being put in. It passes after a minute and it just feels like a regular menstrual cramp. I took 400mg of Ibuprofan 20 minutes before and another 400mg for after. I went home and just relaxed and kept a heating pad in majority of the afternoon/evening. My period has ended (I had it inserted midway my period), I just have some spotting but I was expecting way more than this. No complaints so far!"


"I am five hours post-insertion and I just feel crampy.
During the insertion, I honestly hurt so bad. I think I hurt so bad because I was uncomfortable and I would not relax.
After the insertion, I felt a really bad cramp in my abdominal region. It also made me feel like I had to pee really bad. I actually got up and I was not dizzy (yet... keep reading). So, I got up, cleaned myself up and I was actually bleeding a whole lot. But my doctor gave me a pad and some wipes. My legs were so weak after that.
When I left, I instantly became dizzy and a little nauseated. But the cramps got worse and then when I was home, they weren’t as bad. I also took an extremely hot bath. I’m not bleeding right now but I am still crampy."


"I have tried this medication in the past and it did not work for me, but now after revisiting the drug with years of migraines of no relief I have found that it works well for me now. I tend to have extreme nausea and vomiting with my severe headaches, so I also use the nasal spay form (depending on how nauseated I am) They both work well if taken early in the migraine. I did however have severe reaction the first 2-3 times taking it (nausea, vomiting, abdominal upset) but I forced myself to take it again. Now my experience is "head tightening" which I see can be common with this drug and after about 15  minutes of this, I feel a "loosening" and finally relief. I have not experienced any other symptoms with tablet form."


"2 -250 mg for 3 days. Worked great! Left me very tired, lightly nauseous and a little heartburn (and perhaps developing a little yeast infection) but nothing I can't handle. I got great night of sleep but my days were bad. I did get freaked out by some of the reviews I read but I had to remember that hundreds, if not thousands, of people take this medicine and only the ones with bad reactions will post anything (only a fraction of the people prescribed it). It works differently with everyone so do not let these reviews make your mind up. Take it one pill at a time and see how it affects you. Tip: take the pill with a lot of water and food in your belly. This helped me. Good luck!"


"I had a very bad experience on Lo Ovral (angry all the time, dead sex drive, hungry constantly) in the past, and was not sure how I felt about going back on the pill for my PCOS. But turns out Microgestin has been okay on my system. I'm about a year in, and within the first 3 months my breasts definitely grew half a cup size. My sex drive decreased and my nipples are tender. I did feel paranoid for about 3 months, then it normalized and my mood has been fine since.  I am convinced it has made me gain weight around the hips, ugh- however I have not actually gained real weight. After being on it about a year, my sex drive is coming back finally and mentally I feel normal. My periods are nice and light, they linger about 5 days total."


"I've been on the patch for about 4 months now and I can honestly say that I love it. This is my first time being on BC and I did a lot of research before picking one out. The first 3 months I experienced some of the side effects: headaches, nausea, sore breast, emotional as hell. But all that stopped in the 3rd month. I still get a little emotional but that's just regular pms'ing. Do not buy the generic brand. It sucks ass. It doesn't stick as well as the name brand so I spend the $5 to get it. My skin gets a little irritated around the patch but I have seriously dry skin so that can play a factor. Overall I'm loving it! My bf can relax a little because he doesn't have to worry about condoms anymore because this is more cost efficient."


"Taking it for Borderline Personality Disorder/Emotionally unstable personality disorder(EUPD). An effective mood stabilizer and helps with paranoia and occasional psychosis. The drowsy side effect has helped with my insomnia as my sleep was awful. I'm on 300mg at night. The other side effects are a pain though. I've put on 4-5 stone (56/70 lbs I believe) at least, whilst I've been on these possibly from the munchies it gives me but I'm sure it's altered my metabolism.. After taking the dose, my nose blocks up completely. I have to use a nose spray every night. My heart pounds and I get restless legs and arms. It feels like something tickling them on the inside.  I always feel drowsy in the mornings but that is to be expected."


"I've only been on Brintellix for 3 weeks and I am about to reach my "therapeutic dose" of 20mg as prescribed by my psychiatrist (started at 5mg and have been going up 5mg each week). I've experienced zero nausea which seems to be the biggest complaint people have. I was warned to take the pill with a full breakfast though so maybe that has helped? I've also not had a decrease in sexual desire nor ability to perform which is awesome. By the second day I felt almost intensely cheery and had great urges to do artistic activities. The only side effect I seem to have had is very vivid dreams. No nightmares though. Just high-def dreams about walking my dog or shopping."


"Say No To Depo!

Say No To Depo!

Say No To Depo!

Say No To Depo!

Worse experience of my life! been off for almost a yr and im still bleeding, body seems like it just want return back to normal. That stuff is poison!. I will never get back on Any birth control don't care what it is"


"I have almost completed my 2nd 3 month round and will not get another shot. I have to work hard and eat right just to keep from gaining even more weight it's very hard to lose. I developed acne I never had before. Recently I have been getting daily Charlie horses in my vagina very painful. Very dry have to use lubricant every time and almost no sex drive at all. Already had painful sex before but this has made it worse. The only good thing is only having to remember it every 3 months."


"I had the Mirena inserted 7 months ago was a little painful and discomfort for a couple of minutes, but if you have been through normal child birth if you can handle that pain you can handle anything. After the insert of the Mirena which my doctor recommended because I was suffering from heavy menstrual bleeding and would last up 2 weeks. I spotted a little after insertion and was also cramping the next day was all gone about a week after insertion wham the bleeding was full on for about 1-2 weeks then it would stop a few days then wham bleeding again. It was constant 1 week stop another few days. I was so frustrated, so was my hubby. Now everything has settled we are all different, you have to be patient."


"I have always been a person who had no problem getting an erection.  Maintaining though for a great sexual experience had been becoming a problem.  The use of Cialis has given me 15 to 20 years back on my sex life.  No problems now at all maintaining a full erection throughout the whole experience with my partner.  Had a little upset stomach which only lasted a few minutes.  No major side effects at all."


"I've been on probably at least 20 different forms of birth control for one reason or another, usually due to painful cramps and heavy flow.  I've noticed in the almost 2 years of taking it, my period is down to 2 days that I get 4 times a year.  I get severely depressed for one day, the day I go off of them to get my period, and my cramps are not as bad as they usually were. They are now about a 6 on a 1-10 scale when they had been a 12 in the past.  Overall, pretty pleased with it.  I have gained about 10 lbs over 2 years but like most women have said, it's water retention.  I have a very healthy libido and haven't had any spotting."


"I knew that I had an arthritis since I started College. Since then I'm suffering from it after my doctor told me to take this medicine. Thanks to Celebrex my suffering has ended. This medicine is great!"


"I've been on every ADHD medication under the sun. After heavily abusing adderall and lying to my doctors, I broke out in a huge body rash that went all the way up to my face. I didn't like the way adderall made me feel. Like a zombie. I was wide awake, felt euphoric, but I didn't do anything. I just sat there for hours chainsmoking while on my phone. I decided to try straterra. I love it! It does everything adderall did minus the tweaky stimulant effect. And, I can't abuse it :) my adhd is under control,  my depression disappeared, and I feel like myself again."


"The best anti-depressant I have ever experienced, I couldn't sleep longer than 5 to 6 hours a night of broken sleep, now I average 8 hours of fit full sleep. When things don't go my way now I simply shrug my shoulders, before I thought the World was conspiring against me. The drug seemed to work for me almost instantly, didn't take me the normal 4 weeks before I noticed an improvement in my mental well-being. Can't thank the creators enough. Big ups!!"


"I was on zenzedi for about 6 months. I loved it! I have only tried Ritalin for my ADD and it made me psychotic, and once I stopped taking it I was too scared to take anything else. Well 10 years later, and sick of my ADD, I was prescribed this medication and it worked! I also had no beginning side effects.  The only complaint I have is how quickly it wore off, but it could be my own metabolism and anyone else could be different. However, due to my new insurance I am switching to Adderall XR, I'll write an comparison opinion when I begin taking it."


"Was dealing with cancer and was given Remeron for depression. After having surgery for the cancer which was successful I continued with the drug but was having issues with my blood pressure. My BP would drop over 20 points when I stood up and I would lose my breath when walking short distances. All symptoms went away once I quit taking the drug. I would not recommend this drug to anyone as it set my recovery back greatly."


"I have been diagnosed with PCOS for over 4 years, but only have been prescribed Metformin after seeing no results with combined pills. Having gained so much weight over the past year now weighing 75kgs, this medication does not seem to be working at all with my weight loss. I'm on 2 x 500mg a day. Have had few bad side effects, nausea and bad breath. I brush my teeth endlessly, but doesn't seem to improve. As long as I can lose weight I don't mind the side effects, but I've been on this medication for over a month now and I have not lost any weight."


"Of course my partner doesn't pull out on ovulation day, took "take action" 24 hours later, 4 days later I have a massive period with worst cramps ever!! Very tender even to touch my lower abdomin. Dispite the bleeding I still have worry. :/ won't do that nonsense again!!"


"I like this drug. I had tried hydrochlorothiazide and my glucose and uric acid elevated. My doctor talked with me and put me on this instead. She started me on 25 mg. No adverse effects but nothing major happened in lowering BP. She moved me to 50 mg and better but still not consistent. Now on 100 mg and its consistently lower, seems to have relaxed my lungs and heart and I sleep better. No cough or other side effects."


"I have acid reflux for 10 years and have been on every PPI and H2 blocker on the market nothing worked did test after test nothing was found, started getting nausea (extreme nausea) and Nothing helped finally my doc prescribed me reglan (mind you she said she only uses this as a last resort befoer surgery is considered) and BAM! Worked amazingly I still take zantac to help against small bouts of reflux but reglan has helped me gain control back of my life! I had side effects at first (nothing major I just felt restlessness in my legs) but they eventually went away! 10/10 100% recommend!"


"I woke up in the morning with redness at the site and a very slight bump that I could tell would soon form into a blister. I immediately applied Abreva to the site as instructed, and continued re-applying every 40 minutes or so within 3 hours the cold sore erupted into a full blown multi-blister sore. I quickly removed what ever was there and began to apply Zovirax. I have used it before but wanted to give Abreva a try. I WILL THROW AWAY WHATEVER I HAVE BOUGHT AND WILL NEVER USE ABREVA Again. It literally made it 100 times worse."


"I hate this thing! I've had it in for over 2 years, I got it after I had my daughter. Not the best decision I've ever made and I'm having a hard time getting my doctor and my OBGYN to take it out it's like nobody wants to. It has decreased my sex drive made me hormonal mood swings depressed put a strain on my relationship with my husband because of that. I can hardly ever get "in the mood" and that sucks, I'm 24 y.o! Also the weight gain, the nausea, irregular periods, cystic acne breakouts on my face....seriously I hate this thing! It has made me so miserable. I'm switching OBGYN offices just to get the damn thing out!"


"i love nuvaring.

it works wonders for me .. i dont even feel it  nor does my partner, and yes of course if a man finishes inside u , ur protected from pregnancy honey! thats what its for. it has never slip out . that probably happens to these woman that have the looses cuchi! lol , The only bad side effect that i get is mild to  severe nausea and some acne. sometimes im not even hungry but  that any birth control with estrogen will make u nauseous because of the estrogen. every body is different but i would highly recommend it"


"I took this three days ago and was up all night. I didn't make the connection as I had a cup of coffee later in the evening than I normally would. I took another Xyzal the following day. I still have not slept. I have been up for 3 nights!!! I have a heavy duty sleeping pill that I am going to take tonight and I'm hoping that will be the end of it. I can't imagine it would take longer than 72 hours to make its way out of my system. If you are someone who experiences these types symptoms with certain medications, avoid Xyzal."


"I'm a 70 year-old guy who has had BPH for over 10 years.  Was taking Avodart, which worked OK, but had the sexual side effect of reducing the amount of semen I produced, which greatly impeded my sexual performance.  Switched to 5 mg daily of Cialis 5 months ago.  I was pleased to find that semen production returned to normal in about 2 months, which was the main reason for switching drugs.  But much to my surprise I found that it reduced BPH symptoms by about 90%.  It's turned out to be a miracle drug for me--no side affects that I'm aware of.  Enhanced erections is an extra benefit."


"This medicine has been amazing. I was put on 40 mg at night and we changed it to 20 mg in the morning and 20 mg at night. It makes me a bit sedated during the day, but honestly this is a relief, since I'm just really glad not to be so paranoid and afraid anymore. It's made the voices leave, paranoia go way down, and I don't fly off the handle over every little thing anymore. No weight gain, no increased appetite, and I don't feel dumb as a rock like I have on Risperdal or Geodon. Would definitely recommend this medicine to anyone who hasn't tried it but who needs a change! I've been on it for about 4 and a half weeks."

"I got Prep down within 15 minutes, then I drank 32 ounces of water over the next 30 minutes-they told me I had to get this all down within one hour-all of a sudden my stomach got bloated and started making noises and then the nausea came full force with mouthwatering and fierce chills and I ran to the bathroom and I vomited twice.  I never expected this to happen because I never read the reviews until now.  45 minutes later I had a little bit of diarrhea, then a regular bowel movement, then about an hour later watery diarrhea, then full force liquid. Woke up at 4 AM nervous and did the 5 AM dose,  this time holding my nose as I took five swigs each time,  followed by water swishing around my mouth to get taste out. Prep works faster the Second time"


"I have had GERD since 1997. I have used Prilosec, Nexium, Aciphex, Prevacid, and Protonix (most recently).  NONE of them worked.  I was on a double-dose of Protonix when my GP sent me to the GI Specialist for a upper gastrointestina Scope.  After that I was prescribed Dexilant.  Not only has it 'CURED' my GERD symptoms, it has also settled my IBS symptoms.  I used to have to go to the bathroom almost immediately after eating and more than once a day I would have 'emergency' moments where if I didn't get to the bathroom quick I was in trouble.  All of those symptoms are gone.  I know this doesn't work for everyone but if you're like me and you've tried it all you need to give this medicine a try.  It is amazing."


"I've been taking Diclofenac 50mg once a day for many years. If I forget for any reason the pain immediately returns. I am now 60 and the arthritis in my fingers is getting worse, but as I can take up to 3 tablets a day I can just increase my dosage. I recently recommended Diclofenac to a friends 90 year old mother, she had immediate relief and was so thankful."


"I am 6 days into Sertraline 50mg for panic disorder and want to reassure anyone who is terrified of starting this drug because they've read about all the terrible side effects, just as I was. I am a 23yr old female suffering from this for 8 years. Various therapies have helped but I keep relapsing. Last week I gave in and spoke to my Dr about meds. The first night I panicked because I was so scared of the side effects, which turned out to be mild at worst. Insomnia the first night, day 2 mild headache + slight diarrhea, and slight nausea on day 3+4, also loss of appetite. Overall, it felt like a mild hangover. I have felt slight anxiety at times, but it subsides quickly and doesn't develop. I'm feeling calmer already not even a week in!"


"It works well for my anxiety, but tends to last longer than I need it to. Also I get an odd effect when taken with my Ritalin. It causes me to remain focused but on many random tasks so its some times counter productive at work."


"I'm a guy and my girlfriend used this product and...woow.  She is in so much pain.  She is crying, and yelling and.... Just too much.  I have to work in the morning.  The medicine is so much worst than the actual yeast infection. What can I do.  By reading this she found comfort she wasn't the only one. Hope you ladies vagina's are doing better!!"


"Caused steady increase in creatinine level over 3 month period and my PCP thought I was getting kidney disease.  Very scary.  I was the one to suggest stopping it rather than go to a nephrologist which is what my Dr advised.  My creatinine levels went back to normal after stopping it."


"I had my Kyleena placed a little over a month ago, and it has been wonderful. I switched from the NuvaRing to the IUD due to irritation. The insertion was only a tad painful, but I did experience vasovagal syncope. After laying down for 15 minutes and drinking some juice, I was good to drive home. The spotting went down after the first two weeks and is now only occasional. Except the spotting, I love it. Recommend for anyone who does not want to deal with remembering a pill every day, getting something inserted in their arm, or changing out a ring!"


"I give it an 8. I've been taking it for the last 6 to 8 years and it works so far. I have informed my doctor that I need to up my dosage and he agreed. So I take a half after about an hour after I take my regular dose and it works pretty good (that is the 10/325 mg). Most times I only have to take that half once or twice daily and sometimes I don't have to take the other half."


"I am on my 3rd week of taking Contrave, so 2 in the AM & 1 @ night. I have lost a total of 11 pounds. I do work out hard 3 nights a week (zumba cardio + weights & I have for 3+ year) I also have a young dog that I walk minimal 2x a day. I'm unable to finish a lot of meals & I definitely do not crave things the way I used to. I work above a restaurant & many days find myself having a protein shake or a salad due to nothing being "appealing".  I am still experiencing some side effects that I'm trying to ignore because I do feel that it is working, but I am nervous about going up to 2 in the AM & 2 in the PM pills. I have a headache most of the time, trouble sleeping, INSANE CRAZY dreams and not as much energy. When have others side effects decreased?"


"I was curious about Viagra for a few years every time my doctor asked if "everything is still working". I finally asked for a prescription, and wish I had asked sooner. My wife and I are in mid-60s and Viagra is making me totally dependable in the bedroom again, several times per week. Wife cuts 100 mg pills into quarters, which makes the cost bearable. Planning a session ahead of time adds to the excitement. It is great to be rock-hard again, and my climaxes are more intense. No side effects, except increased sensitivity to sunlight and a bluish tint. I highly recommend it to any guy who thinks he needs help."


"Day two... I have taken 2 gel caps and it has not helped. Itchy roof of mouth. Unable to breathe through my nose, it is completely stopped up. Symptoms are worse than yesterday. Eyes are red, itchy and teary. I a cannot sleep. I do not recommend."


"I am 22 years old and never was a bad student throughout school but was always very unfocused when it came to reading comprehension and listening to lectures. I now work for a general physician and she seemed to notice my frustration with not being able to get anything done when there was a lot to do. I would get very aggravated easily and had very bad mood swings. My doctor prescribed me Adderral XR and I waS very hesitant to take it. When I started taking it I felt like I was much calmer, was able to do my job. It's really great me and my husband get along now because I'm not so uptight. It does give me dry mouth and insomnia but I can deal with the no appetite. Overall I think it is great!"


"Not only is Benadryl great for allergic reactions, it is great for insomnia too.  I use it for a variety of conditions and always carry some in my purse - just in case."


"I've been on Apri for about 6 months now and switched from Necon. I can predict my period to the day and get no cramps and it only lasts 2-3 days. I've seen a little weight gain and loss of sex drive, and I do feel as though I'm a little more emotional."


"Side effects: extreme dry mouth, nausea."


"This birth control was horrible for my acne. Painful cysts i've never had before were popping up on my chin, cheeks, and forehead...places I've never had bad acne! I've been on it for two months and started seeing the effects about 3 weeks ago. I'm going back to Ortho Tri-cyclen next week because that worked wonders for my face. "


"I was given Trazodoe 50MG for insomnia which I took last night, within a matter of time I became a bit dizzy and my RLS became uncomfortable ...this continued for a few hours.  I did fall asleep after about 4 hrs and slept for about 6 hrs.  Upon awaking I was no longer dizzy but I felt a little off to the point of being light headed....I will not take this med again....it is very hard to deal with the restless legs while being dizzy and tired...this medication is not for me."


"I have been taking Zoloft for about 2 weeks and notice a little difference. I'm much happier, not so tired as usual. One day I had this urge just to go out and I get my hair cut, nails done and my tongue pierced. I have no idea where that came from. I felt very social and wanting to talk to people. Before I liked to stay in my room with the dark curtains and hope it will rain soon because I couldn't stand the sun. I also didn't want any company..just wanted to be left alone. It still comes and goes. I'm pregnant so I'm only on 25 mg but I know if I was taking a higher mg I would feel better."

"Started on Jolessa over a year ago. It caused me to have acne. I have to use a daily face wash now, and I've never had to do that before. Also the bleeding is really bad. Every time I finish the last 2 weeks of the second month, my period comes. Some days it's heavy, some days it's light, and it typically lasts until I start a new pack. I have to keep a ready stock of pads available at all times. The longest the period lasted was almost 3 months. My doctor decided I should go back to Seasonique. I only changed because of the co-pay difference. It's worth paying the extra $40 to me. I am on my last week and a 1/2 of Jolessa and I can't wait to get the new pill and be done with this one. I won't ever take it again."


"Started on Saphris 2 months ago for sleep and bi-polar. I started at 5 mg---total nightmare! Couldn't sleep, picked arguments with my husband and was generally very hyped and energetic ( in a good but bad way!). I never saw a manic episode coming at me--but I saw this one!

After 5 days I called the doctor and was advised to go up to 10mg. WOW!! Immediate turn around that night (I only take it at night) and my sleep was fantastic! My attitude was amazing and my husband was delighted with his loving and easy going wife! I felt great--not drugged just happy and content. Work with it--it's turned my life around!"


"I have been taking  ropinirole in varying amounts for 6 years. It works great but.... I suddenly have gained weight 40lbs in 4 weeks time and didn't notice it til I could no longer breathe easily. I have to cut back now and suffer with severe RLS because the medication makes me swell really bad. Other than the swelling it has worked well for the RLS."


"My gynecologist gave me this pill to "regulate my hormones (periods)" and it was the worst decision ever. I ended up quitting the pill after I reached a month because it gave me THE WORST ACNE OF MY LIFE (which I'm still suffering from a month after quitting), mood swings, depression, and HORRIBLE BLOATING! And I have suffered from acne all my teen years (17 now) but it was regular hormonal kind of acne I would get during that time of the month. I actually had pretty bad acne earBut the acne I have now is on a whole other level.. And to top it all off, the pill didn't even do what it was supposed to do. I didn't get my period while on this pill and now I have regular period again. I wish I would've never taken this pill!!!!!"


"I got all 5 shots about 4 months ago.  I had relief from pain for about 2 weeks, now my knee hurts as much as it did before the shots."


"I’ve been on this for a little over a month. I thought I was going crazy until I realized it was the BC. It made me extremely depressed and irritable. I’m already on lexapro for depression and was doing fine. I have not wanted to do anything but sleep and eat. I'm not one to be lazy and I haven’t been able to make myself do anything. I cannot curb my appetite, therefore I’ve gained prob 10 lbs in a month.  I definitely do not recommend this for anyone that may be susceptible to depression. It took away my sex drive as well. Yes, I didn’t have a period which was nice but totally not worth the weight and craziness."


"Mestinon helps everyone differently. I started out with ocular MG. Apparently, this drug helps most people with their ocular MG, but it doesn't do anything at all to improve my eye. My case of MG rapidly generalized, and difficulty breathing was my 2nd symptom to manifest. Mestinon improves my breathing issues somewhat, but doesn't take the shortness of breath away completely. Same with my arms and thighs; it helps, but doesn't make the weakness disappear altogether. Mestinon can cause diarrhea, but most likely won't if taken alongside a meal or with a small snack. It must be taken every 3-4 hours. Mestinon is one of the only drugs out there for MG with the least amount of unpleasant side effects."


"I finally had enough nerve to have Mirena inserted, but the experience took me by surprise.  I have a high tolerance for pain, but the pain during insertion was more than expected.  I also fainted.  This occurrence is rare and usually happens in only 1% of women who have Mirena placed.  Lucky me!  When I came to,  I was covered in sweat and couldn't get up.  My blood pressure and heart rate dropped to a dangerous low so I  had to sit for almost 2 hours to recover.  I was given prescription pain killers to help with the cramps and have had light bleeding since."


"No antidepressants were working for me so the dr. Put me on brintellix. Diarrhea started three hours after first dose and continued for 12 days. I was on the medication 16 days total. By day 4 I had involuntary muscle twitches which turned into head jerking. By day 14 I had my first seizure while driving then had another seizure at work which caused me to lose my job yesterday (liability issues). This was a scary medicine for me and I'm more depressed now because I lost my job on account of it."


"Hi! I've had fever blisters/cold sores/herpes of the mouth, etc since I was about 2 years old.So I know the horrible way it affects your self esteem. Not sure who kissed me as a baby , but may they forever burn! Ps...don't kiss your babies or let anyone else do it. I've learned a lot about the virus and could tell you many facts, such as its really just a virus. You get it , your immune system fights it , and it dies... but not with out leaving some of its DNA in your body. If you get cold sores, the DNA lingers in a big nerve ganglia in your neck. And no you can't have it removed ,I asked! Valtrex is a life saver. Tell your doctor right away you need a script for 30 w 5 rfls. Be firm. Don't be swayed. Always have 2 on you.Take ASAP."


"I can't believe that after 3 years of severe widespread neuropathic pain of unknown origin, I am sleeping 8-10 hours and have had total pain reduction from about a 8 at worst to now a 1.5

I've only been on 10 mg at night for 3 days. I hope it's not coincidence or placebo affect.

A bit drowsy and a dizzy spell today. But completely worth it.

I'm falling asleep faster now. My mood seems to be more calm as well. I hope to get off of oxycodone now."


"I've been using Byetta (10mg 2 x daily) for just over a year now in conjunction with glucophage (metformin) 500mg 2 tablets twice a day for my Type 2 diabetes. I've also been on a pretty tight diet and exercise plan during this time and have gone from nearly 330lb to 260lb. My sugar numbers stay under 120 - usually in the 100-115 range and the a1c has been outstanding for each quarterly test. My goal is to get under 200lb. I've had no difficulties or side effects from the Byetta - worst is a bruised area if I get rambunctuous with the needle. One thing to remember - Byetta isn't some magical weight loss drug by itself. I hate to sound like a doctor but you have to change your eating habits totally and exercise, exercise, exercise."


"I have an ibs problem 2 or 3 times a week about 30 minutes after eating. I have severe cramps with diarrhea. The pain is so bad that I experience gagging and dry heaves or vomiting. Sometimes I have constipation.  When I feel the first cramp, I take a librax and the cramps stop like a miracle. I keep my librax with me at all times because I never know when I am going to have an attack."


"So I have been on gildess for exactly a year now and it is the first BC pill I have ever been on and it's pretty great the only side effects I have noticed but haven't really though to much about are that recently every little thing is starting to bother me, I get upset or sad for almost no real reason and I don't feel like myself most of the time which is sad I am usually a very happy calm person but I feel like I'm not like that anymore. Other than that I don't have any other side effects at all it's pretty great it regulated my period and I have no random spotting or pain of any kind so I don't recoment it as the best form of BC but it's not the worst one and works very well for preventing pregnancy."


"This is the worst birth control experience I've ever had.  I was on Quasense for three years, but stopped when breakthrough started to occur.  I am on these medications for birth control, but also to manage excessively heavy and painful periods.

I started Apri on the first day of my period.  I then bled for 12 days, followed by five days of horrible discharge.  I stopped Apri 12 days into the pack after experiencing ridiculous weight gain (My diet did NOT change.) headaches, outrageous mood swings, anxiety, full body pain, cramping, muscle spasms in my neck and severe fatigue.  It is now day 18, (five days off the pill) and I'm still bleeding and dealing with tremendous mood swings.  I have gained what looks like 20 or so pounds.  "


"This has become a life saver for me. The first 2 doses caused severe headache. Since then, the results have been amazing, with no other side effects."


"I started the patch 2 days ago. I thought it was fine and everything. My doctor didn't tell me the side effects of tell me I would have any at all. Past 2 days I haven't had any other symptoms but this past moring I woke up and I couldn't handle it. I tried to stay asleep but I felt like I had to throw up. I got up and ran to the bathroom and puked for a good 10 minutes. Now I know why I had so many headaches. Glad I quit before it got worse tho. I don't like it and I wouldn't recommend it."


"Pregabalin is great. Got it for damaged nerve pain but was blown away by its other effects. Suffered from depression and anxiety for all my life. I am 41 within 3 days of taking this medicine it lifted all those years of misery away. It was like it melted away layers and layers of dark misery. Honestly pregabalin at a dose of 200mg 3 times a day is great."


"I've used Ex-lax several times to help me with constipation due to other medications. I use the one that tastes like chocolate. It's delicious and so easy to take, it's like eating a piece of chocolate. I don't give it a 10 because of the cramps. They're not that bad and I imagine is normal, but apart from that it works very well."


"Taken Ritalin over 15 yrs for NARCOLEPSY.   Provigal to $$.  Over the years I have increased to 40mg two times daily.  Have not (and won't) increased dosage in over 5 yrs.  Retired now so it's easier to adjust mg.  If I feel it's not working,  I will stop taking it for a week or two (if possible) and then go back 10 mg at a time.   May be time consuming but never had addiction.   Considering the SR."


"I've been on Amprya almost a year and still able to walk a short distance without assistance.  Maybe 3 steps but its better then not moving."


"I have been on Contrave for almost a month. My starting weight was 270 and I am now at 259. So aprox 10lbs lost in a month is pretty good. My insurance did not cover the medicine, but i had the discount card. It cost about $90. With your discount card and filled Rx, you gain free access to the Scale Down program in which they send you a very nice digital scale. You have to weigh in EVERY day (first thing in the morning, right after you get up and go to the bathroom). This program has helped me more than the Contrave to be honest.Contrave makes me feel horrible. I am exhausted all day and moody. I'm sure it works a little, and I'm trying to push through the side effects. I want this to work so bad."


"Been on Klonopin for over ten years  and it no longer works.  I just tried requip. No luck. I'm loosing my mind ideas please......this is a major mind mess up!"


"I've had it for 4 months now. Had a regular period for 3 weeks, then I just spotted for a month and a half. No period since the. (Yay!) Down fall is I'm blowing up like a balloon! If I keep gaining weight, I will consider removing it. Losing my period is not worth not fitting into any of my clothes."


"I get a gout flare up once or twice a year, and usually one or two pills knocks it out.  This time around, one 50 mg pill is not working so well....I am on my 5th and 6th pill (took 2 or 100 mg) about an hour ago, and I am currently feeling the pain subside.

Anyone else here use dosages above 50 mg....any side effects?"


"I had postpartum anxiety pretty bad after the birth of my second child. I could not sleep and was afraid to be left alone with both kids (not because I was afraid I would harm them, I was just very overwhelmed by both of them). The doctor prescribed Buspirone and I was very hesitant. I always have bad side effects with anti-depressants or anxiety medication. It truly has been a game changer. I sleep better and can now enjoy spending time with my kids. I do get dizzy from it, but I can deal with that. I'd take dizziness over how I was feeling before the medicine any day."


"Took delsym cough about one hour ago. It has suppressed my cough but I now have diarrhea and my head is spinning."


"I use it for Osteoarthritis of the knee and shoulder arthritis from torn rotator cuffs.  It has helped me alleviate the need for surgery for many years.  It is very effective."


"Hello, I started Contrave exactly 4 weeks ago; I've lost 9 lbs. I've been running & speed walking 4.5 miles a day. Earlier I nearly passed out running and realized I had to exercise prior to taking my morning dose. Back pain this week, so two days off from running & got acupuncture. Headaches were severe the 2nd and 3rd weeks, not anymore.  Difficulty urinating, & waking up to pee twice a night started in week 2 and still persists, though not as severe now. I still think about food more than I wish, but I'm able to cook & bake w/o tasting the food. Oranges and yogurt are satisfying when I'm struggling. Magnesium oxide is a must for constipation. I'm happy, & 13 lbs to reach goal."


"This drug has been an absolute game-changer for me. I've only been taking it for about 3 months so I am still getting used to not having to run to the bathroom every 15 mins. The effects were immediate. I noticed a drastic reduction in frequency just within the first few hours of taking my first dose. It's amazing to look back and see how much I (and my friends/family) had arranged their lives around my bladder - planning for bathroom breaks, making mad dashes to the bathroom when in public, and running on the verge of dehydration for years in an attempt to reduce the frequency. I can't imagine going back to that."


"I just started taking it so my body still has to adjust but I notice that I have gotten some sleep. I have an extremely  important  medical issues going on right now. "


"While this does stop my migraine, after I started taking relpax, almost immediately I started having daily migraines. For over a year, I had a migraine every single day and would have to take another relpax. A friend told me to stop taking them because they were causing rebound headaches. I switched to another medication and only used very little of it along with a hydrocodone to wean off the relpax. Long story short,  I haven't had a migraine since I stopped the relpax."


"I usually only get yeast infections when I'm on antibiotics for something else. They are usually minor so I hate to waste a doctor visit on them. I've used the generic brands and the name brand of this product. I don't wanna deal with 7 days of treatment so I go for 3. A bit pricier but I got lucky this last time and it was on sale at Walgreens with their rewards card. Anyways...just inserted the first dose. it caused me some slight tingling and discomfort at first for a few minutes but nothing too bad and after a few minutes it subsided. I recommend it."


"Good antihistamine. Can cause drowsiness, but it works quickly and shrinks nasal swelling better than some of the other choices. I take a newer antihistamine during the day, but this helps a ton at night when the other wears off and the pollen is still bad."


"Made me a complete zombie. Threw them out."


"I use Gabapentin to treat pain and burning (feet) caused by a small fiber neuropathy (confirmed by biopsy). I take a relatively small dose (1200 mg) at night when symptoms are worst. I usually get adequate relief, enough to sleep, on most nights. I try to take as few medicines as possible and as little as possible,  even though a higher dose would probably provide more relief. I also get Qutenza treatments every 3 months."


"I took my first dose of T. Yestrday.  never used any diabetis drugs before. There is definitely a decreased appetite. but to keep sugar level steady you have to eat a little few times a  day ..i would say every 2 hours...nuts are good idea, small apple pieces, cut up chicken, yogurt . nothing heavy...people have a diarrhea because you should not have fatty and fried food at all.  The only side effect that in have is sudden feeling that i am going to pass out, following a panic attack. I guess my body is adjusting. ill give  it a try for a month . i apprieciate everyones input, its so helpfull."


"It works well, however, it made me as sleepy as Benadryl."


"i was getting suicidal from severe scalp psoriasis methotrexate cleared it up,my bald spts went away but for a week ive noticed hair loss and patches coming back,i'm so upset"


"I was extremely nervous going into this, so nervous my doctor prescribed me medication to calm down. I was afraid of the procedure hurting because I was told straight up it would hurt and read plenty of reviews. When I actually got it done, it was not painful at all, it was just slightly more intense than a Pap smear, accompanied with period cramps. getting my tattoo hurt more. My nurse was worried I would faint or etc, so made me lay down for an extra minute but I was just fine! Three days later, my period is gone, I was on my period for one day getting it in and after I had it for only two more days. Normally my period is five days. I had slight cramps for a few days after but nothing Advil couldn't take care of. I'm glad I got it!"


"I've had this prescribed for surgical procedures, with migraine medications and when I take opioids because they cause swelling and intense itching.

THIS IS GREAT. It ends vomiting, suppresses nausea, eliminates swelling and itching. The generic is very inexpensive and works quickly. The drowsiness side effect is unlike most drugs with this caution; I can wake quickly and think clearly, no "drugged" or heavy, fogged thinking."


"My girlfriend struggles with IBS-C (constipation) and after trying milk of magnesia and a high fiber diet for 2 days with no success, turned to Dulcolax's version of this drug. She took 2 pills at 10pm and at 5am she woke me up saying she felt like she was dying with cold sweats, nausea, and no bowel movement. Her cramps lasted a little over a  hour (till they fully subsided). We won't be going with this drug anymore which barely caused a bowel movement the next day. Definitely not for the faint of heart."


"I'm 5'6 and 114 lbs. Very good pill to take if you're tiny and new to hormones. I recommend starting it the night of your new cycle to help your body get used to the hormones. Take it at night with a snack to fend off the nausea. STAY HYDRATED. You're going to confuse thirst with hunger on this pill. Drinking more water will combat bloating, weight gain, and fatigue. It takes longer to recover after workouts. My mood has improved drastically, as well as sex drive and wetness. My acne got worse, but I'll give it a few more months to straighten out. Love it so far."


"I'm not entirely sure why I am having such a hard time clearing up my yeast infection this time.  This is now my 4th pill (after taking 3 of the 150 mg over the course of 3 weeks).  I typically don't suffer with burning, itching, rashes...but the cottage cheese discharge is terrible.  I took my 4th dose last night, it was 100 mg, and was expecting to not have any discharge this morning.  Welp...still see it.  It's not as much, but mid-day, wiped...still cottage cheese discharge.  I am comforted by the ladies here saying it does take a few days.  Just wondering why I've had to take so many this time and still not cured."


"I took it just to be sure almost 40 hrs after the incident. I did not get pregnant. That said, this was the first time I used any type of oral contraceptive EVER. So I had horrible side effects. Probably not because of he medicine as such but may be because of the high dosage of it. A day after I was completely exhausted and had spotting a week later. That week was terrible. I had gastric trouble, acidity, bloating, sort of menstrual cramps pretty much all the symptoms of pregnancy. Turns out these were the side effects for the medication as my body was not used to sudden harmonal changes. So I sincerely suggest just use protection and be on a regular pill. Be coutious if you have never used any type of contraceptive."


"If you use Abreva at the onset of itching where the cold sore (herpes simplex) begins, apply it immediately at the dosage on the bottle (as with any prescription) - the cold sore does NOT crust over, this medication actually starts the healing process within by absorption. I'm just getting over one, and it was gone in 3 days without the crusty look, or scab formation that is the most embarrassing part of a cold sore and with Abreva; this does not happen. I highly recommend it, also, talk to your Dr. about Zovirax (Acyclovir). Using it in conjunction with the Abreva, works wonders!"
