"I can only agree with these ladies.

I am 68, had bladder infections all my life.

A friend of mine who has MS went on Hyprex because of muscle weakness which caused bladder infections and was recommended Hyprex by her urologist.

I mentioned it to my GP who prescribed it for me.

In a year I have only had one bladder infection, went on a course of antibiotics and then back on Hyprex.

I was also advised by my gynecologist to bathe ( you don't need to fill up the bath ) after intercourse.

since I do those 2 things, Hypex and irrigation, no problems.

Take 1000mg of vitamin C with Hyprex twice a day.

What a relief after all those years of suffering."


"I'm reading all these terrible reviews and I feel like my experience is almost exactly opposite. It's not perfect, but I'm pretty happy with the birth control. I do struggle with anxiety and depression, but if anything I've noticed a "levelling out" over the past month of taking Junel. I'm on the iron pills this week though, and I've noticed my appetite go through the roof. I was really confused until I went to take the pill this morning and it all made sense. My skin has improved a little, which I'm a little impressed with in only a months time. I've suffered from cystic acne for years. I did spot a little in week 1 and then again for a day in week 3, but my period is much lighter than normal, and I've heard that it regulates in a few months' time."


"I had severe headaches, muscle aches, anxiety.  I felt flushed, skin excessively warm. Dizziness my eyeballs hurt. Nausea, vomiting, motion sickness yes motion sickness."


"If you are here to gauge how painful an IUD insertion is, I beg you to not read any reviews on it. Pain is subjective. It really varies from person to person. I say this because I was on here the week before my appointment reading every bit of information. This made my process a thousand times worse. I was so nervous when I went in because reviews said it would be the worst pain I would ever experience. So far from the truth. The doctor will tell you everything you're about to feel; take their word for it. They won't deceive you. I cried a ton because I was so nervous. Relax. Take deep breaths, you'll feel a pinch, it'll hurt some, but not a lot. You'll feel a sudden cramp. It'll hurt becuase it's sharp, but that's it. Quick and easy! :)"


"I got Nexplanon on Jan. 8 2015 and at first I thought it was great. Didn't have a period the first month, next month bleed for two weeks no cramps or anything. When March came, my period came on and lasted longer than usual so I thought OK maybe its changing because the symptoms are irregular. Well its May 8 and my period has been on non-stop! My body aches, muscles hurt everywhere, acne is a little more than before, cravings are crazy, but I have no weight gain or weight loss thank the lord! But Nexplanon acts different in anyone who gets it. I do consider getting it though if you forget to take your pills and if your sexually active."


"I am a 26 year old female, I smoked for 10 years,  about a pack every 2 days. I chose Wellbutrin, 150mg daily. I took it for about 5 weeks total. My plan was to take it and smoke for 10 days. And set my quit date for 10 days from day 1. By day 3, it was already getting easier to say no to the voice in my head telling me when it was time for a smoke. I found myself already cutting back 1 or 2 here and there through my day, which already in itself was a miracle. I was also infrequently using a Nicorette inhaler, 1-3 times a day.  By day 10 I was ready to butt out for good. The nicotine withdrawal is the worst part - but overall has become the hardest yet easiest but best thing I ever did!!!!! :D"


"Primalev 10mg/300mg has been a lifesaver for me. I was born with a rare orthopedic birth defect that causes severe deformities in most of my bones, joints and muscles. This disability alone causes tremendous pain. However, just 3 years ago I was diagnosed with having Fibromyalgia that also contributes to my pain. Both conditions required me to stay in bed, usually tossing and turning until morning where I needed large amounts of caffeine to manage the day. One day my PCP prescribed a new medication, Primalev. Primalev has given me my life back. It has nearly stopped all of my pain and I am forever grateful. My only complaint is only 1 pharmacy offers this miracle medication. Please don't discontinue making this medication."


"Two 25mg doses, spread out, reduces anxiety for me, but it also can make me yawn and sleepy and I don't feel safe to drive for about an hour after taking the second dose.  Given that I am over sensitive to Benzos this is one of the few anti-anxiety drugs I can take without being over sedated."


"What can I say but Thank God ! I've suffered from basically a full beard for over 30 years , having to shave daily , twice if I was going out in the evening . I've been using Vaniqa for nearly 4 weeks and the growth has slowed considerably . My GP in West Sussex couldn't prescribe due to the Practice having a 'black flag' on this ?? He wanted to but just wasn't able "


"I have acne and I used this product. Monodox did not clear my acne, however it did keep it from flaring and becoming worse. I am no longer using this medication, but I guess my experience was okay."


"I  don't Like being a monthly It is 7 days now and I have not stopped yet"


"For me, it works miracles. When I used to drink I'd get the worst hangovers because of the horrible stomach ache and vomiting. If I take this, I know in one  hour exactly (it literally takes exactly 60 minutes for me) I will feel better and not even a little nauseous. I also get nasty random bouts of nausea (I have no idea why). Before knowing about Dramamine, I'd have to force myself to vomit just to feel a little bit of relief but after finding this stuff, I no longer suffer. I do not know what I will do if this medicine is ever discontinued. "


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"My baby is healthy as a bull thanks to my OB/GYN cares, myself and this prenatal multivitamin."


"I did not experience any weight gain, acne or physical side effects, and the birth control did do its job (prevent pregnancy). I was however vey emotionally effected by this pill. I was not depressed, but incredibly over emotional. I normally never cry and keep most things to my self, but cried every single day while taking this pill. Ultimately changed to another BC because after 6 months, it did not go away."


"I'm diagnosed as Bipolar I since one year and an half. Since then, I have tried many medications (almost all available on the market) some anti-psychotics and antidepressants. By far, Zoloft is a miracle drug for me. I had lost all hope to ever feel happy again one day. But this medication finally do the job. I have more energy, a lot less of anxiety, I can focus on the tasks that I want to accomplish in my life. I have tried previously Prozac and Wellbutrin but they didn't do anything to me. Never give up, finding the right medication can be very long, but when you find it, it worth it. The medication kicked in  after 3 weeks of use."


"I am only limited to a few options because I am on Seizure meds, before the meds I responded very well to the pill! This is my 3rd Depo Provera shot and I feel like a completely different person for the worst.. I have no sex drive, I have panic attacks daily, my hair started falling out, I literally sit in my room depressed when I'm not working, my vision changed, I have upper back pain and neck pain, I am tired all the time.. I miss the girl I used to be before this Injection.. My bloodwork is perfect, I've had several test done. This drug is a poison and I can't wait until March for me to decline to never get it again!"


"I fell at work on my knees and have had severe pain ever since.  I have been using 50 mg Ultram (Tramadol) for about 3 months and I can honestly say that I am able to function at work and during my daily life.  I have been on hydrocodone and Lortab and both of these medicines make me sleepy and just out of it all day. Ultram helps me quite well but after 5-6 hours I am ready to take another one.  Dosage is 3 times per day/every 6-8 hours.  My family is happy and so am I.  I would recommend this medicine, it truly works."


"I was started on 75mg at first and for 2 weeks I had the worst side effects.  I literally thought I was going insane. The doctor told me it was normal and ride it out another week.  So I did and it passed.  They moved me to 150mg XL and it worked wonderful for years.  A few years in I had to go up to 300 XL but I was still panic free and depression free.  Until recently when it stopped working and I had Prozac added to the mix.  I would recommend welbutrin XL to people.  Just know you can push through those awful side effects for a few weeks to feel better."


"Please make sure you are not allergic to this drug. I had no idea I was and ended up with horrible allergic reactions. Shortness of breath, heavy chest, rapid pulse-it was at 120 beats per minute for 2 days straight, now it comes and goes. It has been 4 days and I am not better. I really have felt like an anxiety or panic attack is happening all the time. "


"Hello, so far  I feel okay... I just literally got the Mirena at 12pm today. The reviews I just read has me super scared but I'm going to do updates along with changes in my weight.  Right when I got it, it felt like the starting of my menstrual cycle. (felt like everything was falling out) the insertion felt like a mean as pinch and as if someone was drawing a straight line with a sharp pencil inside you but it was really really quick!!!!! I took a motrin right afterwards so now at 2:31 I feel fine!!!!!"


"So, there's always that story where the condom broke. My story is the same story. My boyfriend and I were using protection because I can absolutely not get pregnant, and then the worst thing happens; it breaks. right after we were done we noticed and immediately started freaking out. Who wouldn't in our case? about 20-30 minutes later I took the pill, but I still had to wait 16 days for my period. A little less then a week, though, I started! I didn't seem to have any side affects, but that's just me. I have never been more happy to see mother nature making her daily visit."


"Acute pain and swelling 6  hrs after the injection , unable to walk, difficult to sleep. Can't bend my knee and in absolute agony. Day 5 and my entire life is on hold as it very difficult  to move, wish I would never have had the shot- dangerous!!"


"I've been on Arava for over 10 years now.  At first (following the loading dose) I was taking 20 mg daily.  I went from not being able to dress myself to being completely independent and relatively pain free.  I do have fibromyalgia, so there has been some muscle pain with that. I lost quite a bit of hair at first, but that stopped.  After 7 or 8 years I asked my doctor if I could try to taper down.  I went from 20 mg daily to 20 mg every other day.  I have mild psoriasis which flared when I cut back, but eventually it cleared up again.  After a year, my doctor decreased it to 10 mg every other day.  The psoriasis flared again, but is now gone and I am maintaining at 10 mg every other day and doing well."

"I agree that Benicar HCT s wonderful. I have been using it for 3 months but it is very expensive."


"After smoking for 20  years and trying unsuccessfuly multiple times, I tried Chantix and believe me, I was not sold on its methods or product....BUT  17 months later, I am smoke free and feeling the healthiest I have felt in over 15 years.  I cant believe I am smoke free again...And I can thank Chantix (As cheesy as that sounds, its true!)"


"It did not help at all and actually made my whiplash a lot more painful"


"I can only describe my experience as horrendous. I was given topi max to balance out the severe anxiety and restlessness and insomnia I had on abilify. It had the opposite effect, after about three weeks taking it I developed severe fatigue, inability to swallow properly, paranoia and the anxiety and restlessness went through the roof, I have never been so close to ending it all to get out of the hell that had become my head. I stopped taking both abilify and topomax and resumed on my original aerogel. Within 24 hours all the symptoms of anxiety and suicidality had gone. A trully terrifying experience that nearly saw my children without a mother"


"This product is okay.  I have never gotten pregnant, but experienced bleeding.  I previously had Ortho-tri Cyclen.  No complaints."


"I have been using Differin gel for about a week now and I can honestly say that this is THE BEST product that I have ever used for my face. I am 31 and I have had issues with breakouts since puberty. Within 3 days I noticed that my face was clearing up. Since this product is working so well for me I will have my 12 year old use it as well... I LOVE THIS STUFF"


"Breathing so good I forget I have copd. This medicine is amazing and easy to use.  I go about my day with no fear of having breathing problems for the first time in years."


"I just had surgery on my ankle and doctor put a plate and screws on it to hold the bone in place. First surgery I've had. I got very severe pain right now but if I take the pills ahead of the pain it helps good enough to sleep."


"I give this medicine a 10 only because it does its job...but it did cause me to get a criminal case against me for "driving under the influence of a scheduled drug" in which I will have to appear in court for. All because the cop (without any doctor experience or medical school education) thought the blood levels were "high". I hadn't taken a pill since 13 hours beforehand!....and I NEVER abused the klonopin due to its strong properties. This does make some people I know very mean who are generally very sweet when they take it. But, I have taken xanax, valium, and klonopin and the klonopin has worked in my opinion-the best for longterm panic and anxiety issues. can be used for bipolar disorder so that's a plus."


"My taking Lyrica was in combo with Tegretol and a few others.  It made my finger ends and toe ends  tingly and numb at times. It did help my Face Pain a bit. But then the skin on my finger ends split constantly and then the inside of my mouth began to peel constantly as well.   Ugh!     I had to go off of it as it simply was not helping my situation of Face Pain, however, I can see where it MAY work for diabetic or MS pain of toes and fingers."


"Good for birth control and no period!
But I have the worst acne  and I used to never have any :( and so much weight gain"


"I had acute mastitis. I was prescribed cephalexin and after two days started getting tightness in my chest and some nausea and mild headaches. I stopped taking it. However, on the plus side, the infection went away and I didn't have to take any more."


"I decided to get the shot a month ago. So far I have not had a period at all...which is almost scary but who wants their period anyway? No weight gain as of yet and no hair loss. I almost backed out of getting the shot once I heard a few horror stories. The only thing I have noticed is a little moodiness, which happens to me on the pill too, so nothing new. Not sure about getting the second shot yet...we will see how the next couple months go and if any other symptoms take place, but so far, it has been great :)"


"I didn't want to take enbrel when my dr. first suggested it but I did take it and am very glad I did.  It has made a big difference in my life.  I don't have to live with the pain of RA and the horrible itching from PA.  I hope it always continues to work for me.  I don't even mind the injections any more but I know that I will feel better because of it."


"I have been on birth control for about 5 years but I had to switch brands due to Yaz being discontinued. I tried another brand at the beginning of the year with no luck. I've been taking Trinessa for 2 months and I has been awful! I haven't gotten pregnant which is a good thing but the side effects are extreme. I have gained about 5 lbs and I am bloated. I have had very bad cramps; they are so bad that my back even hurts. I have always suffered from migraines and they have been controlled but within the last week they have been awful. I am going to see my gyno next week to explore some other options. "


"I have been on multiple medications over 20 years for Bipolar II/ depression.  I am currently on Vivactil which has worked in the past but gives a side effect of anxiety.  My doctor prescribed Latuda 6 months ago. I sleep well now but still have some anxiety. I have also gained 35 lbs while dieting and working out. I have almost no appetite, but am still gaining weight.  Mentally a 9, but cannot continue this because I am getting depressed and having back pain due to the weight gain."


"I have been on Yaz since June of this year and at first it was okay but no I can't stand it. I'm always tired and I'm not in the mood to do anything. I'm 18 and just started college and met a guy who I'm crazy about but the bad thing is he has to put up with me being tired and moody all the time. Another thing about being on Yaz is that I never know when I'm going to get my period and even between periods I have quite a bit of bleeding. I called my doctor today and she said she would call in a new prescription for me to try so lets hope it helps! I wasn't sure if it was stress about from my college courses that were causing me trouble but then I started reading other people experiences on Yaz and they have been going through the same thing."


"suboxone got me off of painkillers but left me addicted to it and my doctor wanted to keep me on it so I had to stop cold turkey on my own after being on it for 5 and 1/2 years. withdrawal was bad for about a week but some symptoms lasted a couple of months, but it was worth it because now I am my normal self again and much happier. It's now been over a year and I don't even think about it anymore.If I had known more about suboxone I would have just quit painkillers without it."


"I started taking Triumeq almost two years after my diagnosis, I gave the drug a 9/10, as Ive never taken another. I started on the medicine after months of being sick and immunity loss. My viral load was rising and my cd4 was falling fast due to lifestyle choices. Getting on this medicine was a hard decision, but one I would make again, and this time I'd do it sooner. Within no time I was undetectable and my immunity doubled. My Dr told me it wouldn't work as quick as it did, so we were both pleasantly surprised on my numbers. It has now been a year, still undetectable and now 9 months pregnant with a healthy baby boy. I would recommend this drug to anyone with HIV who is offered it by their doctor. My side effects include upset stomach."


"After living on doxcycline for 2 years,finally found winning combo for MY perimenopausal hormone/stress induced SEVERE CYSTIC acne! Everytime I got off doxycycline, face worsened within 2 months (scarred and inflammed) than when I started. Would take 3 months of being back on the antibiotic, along with the retin A/hyperpigmentation combo cream that my derm helped develop before scarring became less noticeable. Doxycycline worked well (compared to clindamycin/minocycline/ OTC/proactive system and all salicylic acid, etc.); but, didn't want to live on antibiotics. 3 months changed to Bactrim & Aczone.  Within 2 months, as if I never had acne at all.  No scars. Aczone & MD's cream only for last month. No CYSTS or pimples. CLEAR SKIN!!"


"Accutane (I took Claravis since Accutane is no longer marketed) really cleared up my skin well and I have had NONE of the serious side effects talked about. I'm currently in month 5 of a 6 month course and couldn't be happier. Only side effects are mild dryness of skin, lips, and eyes--that's it! No lab abnormalities either.  I was on Retin-A for years and that caused much more dryness than the Claravis. Highly recommend giving it a shot!"


"At 20mg daily with furosemide 80mg, KCl 10mEq, not much effect on edema or potassium levels."


"I've been reading allot of these posts and thought maybe I could share my experience and what helped me.
The stomach pain when I take the pills is really tough to deal with but I found eating a banana really helps. Eat halve the banana, Take the pill than finish the rest. It's the only thing that doesn't make me feel nauseous.
As far as the bloating, I've felt so bloated for the past 2 weeks so went and spoke with the pharmacist on what to do and he suggested Align Digestive Care, I took a pill about 4 hours ago and already I feel better.
Just thought I would try to help those out having the same symptoms I am.
Good Luck everyone, It may seem tough to get through these little road blocks but I know we all have the strength to quit."


"Wellbutrin XL was the medicine that finally worked to ease my depression. I started treatment years ago on Lexapro. I gained 40 lbs in less than a year and my libido completely shut down. I tried Prozac (zombie) and Effexor then nothing for years. The depression got so bad, I was willing to try medications again. That's when I asked my doctor about Wellbutrin XL. It was (and still is) my only prescription medication, so I decided to accept the expense. Wellbutrin XL has done wonders for my depression, though less helpful on anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The issue is, the cost has steadily increased until this month it was $199! I don't know if I can continue to afford it."


"I was given magnesium citrate a few months ago from the hospital due to chronic constipation and I never drank it, I ended up having a bowel movement on my own. Well, today I woke up at about 2 am..my stomach and back were killing me due to not being able to poo for 2 1/2 weeks. I remembered I had it in the fridge...drank it at about 3 am (lemon is absolutely disgusting by the way) followed by a large cup of water, and by 5 am, here comes the boom. I fell back asleep on the couch and instantly woke up sprinting to my bathroom and out comes pure liquid, I don't have cramps, I'm not in pain. just very very gassy. All in all this stuff really worked for me. You can buy it on the shelf at rite aid for $1 and some change. "


"I'm hoping my posts will help others who are on the fence about antidepressants. My story - in short - is anxiety has plagued me since my teens, depression joined the parade in my late teens/early 20's. I have tried several medications over the years and because they either made me flat or sick I didn't stick with them. Recently decided Prozac would be my last attempt.

I started taking 20 mg every morning 2 weeks ago. I have had very little in the way of side effects. Some mind shakiness in the morning, little bit of difficulty falling asleep, mild fatigue, and dampened appetite. The benefits - to this point - are - surprising. I am much calmer, the anxiety is 80% gone, the depression is still present but not like 2 weeks ago and before. It's dissipating for sure. Life doesn't look so "all or nothing" which is a nice change.
My spouse said my "fidgets" are gone. I was almost constantly moving in some form or another.

I know some people think the medication reaction is "all in ones head" but since my problems ARE all in my head - I don't care if it's the medication, me thinking it is or a combination. All I can say is, for the first time in a very, very long time I am able to run errands, be more social and have actually gotten a full time job in the past 2 weeks. I am able to better care for myself now thus able to care better for my spouse.

I have no plans to stop the Prozac. With 20 mg/once a day being a low dose and with it helping to this point, I'm going to roll with this as long as I can.

"


"I have taken many different SSRI's for over 30 years.  All worked for quite a while, but then I have to be switched to something else.  I have been taking Viibryd for 7 months and I am going to get off of it. I had some gastrointestinal issues at first, some awful, reoccurring realistic dreams, and withdrawal symptoms when I missed a dose by a few hours.  Now I have become an angry person with frequent headaches.  My depression is the worst it has ever been.  2% of the population will have problems with a medicine, so be aware that it might not occur when you first start taking Viibryd.  My insurance would not cover Viibryd until I had a special consideration form submitted by my Doctor."


"After 5 infusions, I have developed nucleated red blood cells. I am now waiting to hear what the neurologist has to say, but as this is a rare but documented side effect, I am done with Tysabri. This was my first medication, and I am loath to try another. Quality of life has got to be a better option than all of these chemicals that will just make me sick."


"Not sure if this is a side effect from the pill or not but I became lactose intolerant after I took it and it's been 2 weeks"


"I have been on citalopram for a week now, the side effects flared up around 2-3 days and then subsided after about the 4th day to a manageable level. I constantly feel tired like I pulled an all nighter, but mentally clear and alert. Slight nausea and dizziness/feeling like fainting faded after about the 3rd/4th day. Still waiting for the anxiety to disappear but I'm told it will take at least 2 weeks."


"I had fixation surgery with 10 screws in my fibula last week.  The medicine is great for pain.  However, make sure to eat before taking it, and get ready for the occasional blurred vision."


"I had this put in at least 3 weeks ago and I've had no problems my periods already stopped, I am occasionally moody, but other that a slight weight gain everything is fine with it. I would definitely recommend this to someone."


"I was very nervous about getting the Paragard IUD after reading many reviews. I decided I still wanted to try it and honestly insertion was not painful at all. I read from so many different reviews of woman describing it as the worst feeling they've experienced. I was also advices to take ibuprofen before my appointment which I didn't do. I just felt pressure and not pain. I guess I was lucky! I don't really cramp and when I do it's not too painful. Prior to the Paragard my periods were very light which has changed a bit. They're not too heavy. Overall happy I went through with it!"


"So far it's good I had a bad case of postpartum depression

And in less then a month I was feeling like my self again

And it really helps my anxiety as well no more panic"


"I have had Nexplanon for 2 years now and have absolutely loved it, super effective. When I first got it, I had random periods for about 3 months. No weight gain, but I do get cravings when it should be my time of the month. Up until a month and a half ago I hadn't had a period since those first three and now all of the sudden I'm having a never ending one. I have been on my period for over a month and a half, Some days I'm on it, some days I'm not. I've thought about consulting a doctor but after reading reviews this seems to be normal. I don't think I'll get it removed early just because it's so effective."


"Was prescribed this for dry eyes by optometrist, told to use twice daily.  Ever since 1st use, eyes stung and got extremely red,  vision got worse, blurry vision, redness, itchy, and sensitivity to light. Did not realize it was this until I stopped use. Was told to use every 2 hours and vision was getting worse.  This product did not work for me."


"Was given this after three wisdom teeth were taken out.  Can't say it made a big difference in the pain though I don't know what it would have been like without it. It was definitely not enough to stop the pain.  Had to resort to the hydrocodone to withstand the pain. That was better than Toradol.  So overall, not a big fan of the Toradol."


"Depo shot
EASY, FORGET ABOUT THE PILL!
I started the depo provers shot after having two kids birthed one year one day apart! Both times I was on the full pill!

Was easy price is $11.48 every three months on health care card. Wasn't a stressful process was easy pain free.

I did bleed the first injection 10 out of the 12 weeks I bled heavily but after second shot I have over-come that and I am extremely happy in the success of this needle..

It's not costly, it doesn't hurt, it's once every 12 weeks, don't need to stress about babies and pregnancy, people are different some will bleed some won't! Yes a tad weight gain but hey weight is better then an unwanted pregnancy "


"I love the Nuvaring! Third birth control I've tried and by far the best, I will never be trying anything else. I was on Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo and then Junel. On both of those it was so hard to lose weight and Junel actually made me gain. Ortho gave me really bad anxiety too. Once I switched to Nuvaring, my anxiety went away, my moods are super under control, and I have lost 5 lbs very easily in the past month. The single bad thing is that sometimes it comes part way out and I will have to go and fix it, but it's quick and easy and happens very rarely."


"I just replaced my 75mg nightly Seroquel with 5mg (will probably go to 10) of Saphris.  I was very scared to change.  I am a successful and happy trauma nurse, mom, partner, etc., even though I do struggle with bipolar disorder and anxiety.  My life has been going REALLY well for several years with low doses of Seroquel, Zoloft, and Lamictal, so when my annual spring crazies kind of snuck up on me worse than normal, I was very hesitant to rock the boat. So far this compares VERY FAVORABLY with my Seroquel.  I am sleeping well and the morning fog is getting better as my body adjusts.  My thinking is clearer and quieter WITHOUT feeling dumb or sad. And I don't seem to be quite as ravenously hungry as on Seroquel.  Hope it lasts!"


"I've been on nuerontin for a few days now and since yesterday a few hours after I take it my body starts to twitch really bad. It started while I was driving to  my shop with my son in the car. I was terrified I was going to wreck. I was even having trouble unbuckling him from his car seat. Walking and writing and talking is difficult. Then I was very lightheaded and very weak. I couldn't even go through my files. Now my eyes hurt and are getting blurry. I'm still twitchy. Last night my fiance said I was twitching pretty badly while I slept. Not to mention the tingling my my fingers and toes and the extreme heat shooting through my leg.. I hope this goes away. If not I'm calling my doctor back."


"If I could choose a number lower than 1 maybe I would be a bit less upset right now. I've been on the pill for one week and three days, let's just say in that short amount of time I went through hell and back. I'm constantly nauseous with a pounding headache, I'm dizzy all the time, and always in pain because it feels like my stomach acid spread throughout my entire rib cage. I don't recommend this to anyone."


"I got on Jolessa because I get horrible migraines when I get my period, so having it just 4 times a year is much better than 12/13 (I got it every 22 days). I gained a little weight but other than that, I love it. I've never had any issues with other side effects and I've been on it for a year and a half."


"Works well as long as you keep up with applying it. I had ance all over my forehead and chin, now it's cleared (as long as I remember to put it on)."


"This birth control works best and is most convenient thus far. I bled quite a bit the first month, but haven't since. My only real complaints about this are the mood swings. I've never been a very angry person, but since I've been on Nexplanon I've noticed a serious shortening of my usual temper. Also, the first few days of adjusting to the medicine was tough and I was dizzy quite a bit, but that has since waned."


"I got my mirena placed today and while time will tell what happens my insertion experience was nothing like the majority of reviews I've read. I am 31 years old and have 2 daughters, youngest being 19mo. I had absolutely no problem with insertion.  I share bc i saw so many posts about pain and cramps, and while everyone is different, it's not that scary.  I will follow up, but i will say  this was nothing more than a pap to me.  Mom's, i feel great, happy and I'm not gushing like I've heard happens.  It's been most of the day  and I'm barely spotting.  Much luck, be safe, but don't be turned off by everything you read ☺"


"Seasonique was absolutely horrible for me. I bled heavily for three months straight. The bleeding went from spotting to the point where clots the size of my fist were coming out. I had to take medical leave from my job because the bleeding was so bad. I ended up needing a D&C to clear everything out and start fresh with no birth control. While Seasonique was totally free with my insurance, it cost me tons in heavy-duty sanitary products, hospital bills, and lost wages."


"I have been on Victoza for about a year now.  I started with the small dose.  Could never advance to the full dose due to the side effects.  My doctor ran a A1C and my blood sugars had gone from 8.8 to 6.7.  We decided to stay at the starter dose.  I take the injection in the evening at dinner time.  I still get the headache and nausea but it is mostly during sleep and wake up to it.  I usually will get up, have coffee and ride it out for about an hour and get ready for work.  Nausea gone headache dull and barely noticeable.  It's worth the frustration to me"


"Great medication for controlling petit mal seizures.  Absolutely do not combine with alcohol.  Went out drinking with friends while using Depakote and after only 2 margaritas, went home and had a grand mal seizure (first in 9 years).  Otherwise, only other drawback to this medication is the price."


"I got the implant exactly 3 months ago I was on my period when I got the implant. After the implant was in my period lasted a few day longer than usual with spotting for a few days but it wasn't bad and I expected it I would say my period with the spotting lasted a week and a half but I'm sure that was my body getting used to the hormones. Well I'm 3 months in I haven't had a period which I love I only spotted for about an hr the first time I missed my period ( it sounds crazy but it's true) I wouldn't even call it spotting it was so light. I haven't spotted since then. I haven't gained any weight I lost 4 pounds I was working out but stopped because I just started school and I'm working don't have the time:("


"I never heard of this medicine. After being on every pain medicine (I thought) out there and still in horrid pain, I was about to give up, I couldn't live with the pain. I saw a new PM and he got me off my high dose of Oxycontin which did nothing for me along with Dilaudid and Roxicodone and put me on 240 once a day with 30 MSIR at 4 hrs. The MSIR does not help, I have to get something else, and the 240 has done things nothing ever has before. I can walk again, have some quality of my life back, not stoned feeling, it's amazing. I still have pain, I need to get my dosage adjusted. This is by far a miracle for me and my family. I don't sleep with a foot massager."


"I've  been on various pain meds and  muscle relaxants for years. Soma was working till these past 6 months. I have severe Spinal Stenosis, Degenerative Disc Disease, Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Had Cervical Fusion in C5 & C in Jan 1st 2014, had Lumbar fusion in L5 & L4 about 5 years ago & now have Severe Herniated Disc's again at the L5 S1 region with nasty nerve pain radiating down Entire right leg to toes, along with Nasty Muscle Spasms & will be having another surgery soon. Been taking this for 3 days & doing great so far!"


"Was on xeralto for three months and enjoyed the freedom from warfarin...BUT went back to warfarin because head aches, constant sore upset stomach, weird dreams and hallucinations at night...Three weeks off xeralto and back on warfarin am feeling normal again...Just me and if xeralto works for you stay with it..."


"I was taking Atenolol for 3 years 50 mg .I had constant tightness in the chest and never ever felt happy and well. I recently had a trip overseas and finished up in hospital. My blood pressure was 120/80 but my heart beat was down to 44. I was so dizzy i could not walk, enough was enough so i went to a doctor in Melbourne Australia who advised me to take Nitric Factor and reduce Atenolol to 25 mg. This i did but i can assure you coming off this drug was a horror story it took 2 Months and now take one scoop of the Nitric Factor a day and my b/p is about 126/70 and pulse 62. It was my decision to stop taking the 25Mg of Atenolol.I can now sleep and feel i have my life back again.I am 63 years and my initial b/p was 160/ 90 and pulse 70."


"I have unexplained pelvic inflammation/interstitial cystitis. In fact all the women in my immediate family do. We are convinced its due to undiagnosed auto immune disease.

Taking the Elmiron was a somewhat challenging couple of months (dizzy, loss of appetite) but after 5 months it was all worth it! Seriously changed my life, 90% urgency, burning, constant cramps & pains, muscle spasms gone !"


"My pharmacy recently switched manufacturing companies so my bc switched from Sprintec to Estarylla.  I've been on Sprintec for 5 years, never had an issue. I was once switched to the brand name but had bad acne because of it and was switched back to Sprintec.

I just finished 1 pack of Estarylla and currently have my period. I'm having TERRIBLE mood swings. I'm usually moody the day before my period and not during. I feel like I want to punch a hole in a wall. That's how bad my mood swings amlnd irritability are right now. I'm calling my ob/gyn first thing in the morning to get switched back and have my prescription sent to a different pharmacy.

I should had believed the reviews before taking this horrible birth control."


"I am a 39 year old female who has had type two diabeties for for 15 years.  My last A1c was 10.5.  My doctor put me on Invokana and I havent had a blood sugar reading above 200 since I started the 100mg.  I have just increased to 300.  I did my research on this drug because I am very suseptable to yeast infections. Do your research. First you MUST drink plenty of water on this medication or you will feel ill.  For women take a probiotic I take one and this has kept the yeast away.  Also you can try Oil of Oregano to help. I haven't had my A1C checked yet as I have only been on this medication for one month.  Ask your doctor for the prescription savings card which will bring your price to ZERO."


"I started taking this medicine two days ago.  I've been nauseous starting yesterday, and started being fatigued starting today.  I don't have many choices for antibiotics, and this one works."


"Before I took this medication I read many reviews from others so that I could make sure that I wanted to take as some of the reviews made me think twice about taking them. Based on the review of someone on here I decided to take mine with 20oz of water and while I had a little bit of bloating for about an hour or so that and other than diarrhea about 2 hours later for 15 mins I was fine. The bloating I did find uncomfortable for that time but once I went to the bathroom I was fine. I have only been on it a week but I have learned when to take it how long it takes to kick in and for the side effects to fade. So far so good just a helpful tip is to make sure you are drinking enough water too. I drink about a liter within an hour of taking."


"I have kind of hemophilia and having gum bleeding and heavy menstuation, tranexamic acid did not help me at all.
( Daflon 500mg) ( micronized purified flavonoid ) 2 tablets 2 times a day was SO helpful
Bad experience with tranexamic acid.
Good experience with Daflon tablets.
I wish this will be helpful for such suffering person from bleeding disorder"


"Just started this 10 days ago. I was so nervous because it seems everyone that posts has a negative side effect. I have none!! Maybe a warm night or 3 but that's been it. It passed 10 minutes later. I also take supplements so that could be helping too. D3, milk thistle, green tea to name a couple."


"I took cephalexin for a kidney infection and its been 2 days, the infection is feeling better, BUT I get EXTREMELY nauseous when I take the pill (3x's a day). Also got yeast infections. "


"I only took ONE Levequin, and within a 6 hour period, my back "popped" and felt as though it was going out.  I'd say the warning about this medicine causing tendon/muscle weakness are highly accurate!  My doctor agreed and changed my meds immediately...nothing like taking a $100 pill."


"This medication worked wonders for me.  I had virtually untreatable hypertension for nearly ten years.  Once I was diagnosed with hyperaldosteronism and placed on Spironaldactone, my blood pressure returned to normal limits in a matter of weeks.

Side effects are significant and something of a nuisance, but have no detrimental effects on actual health or level of activity."


"Insurance dropped me from trinessa and then put me on tri sprintec. My life has been a living hell on this god foresaken devil pill. I feel like I'm pregnant. I'm so depressed and anxious on this pill. I feel like crying daily. I feel so sick every day. I get light headed and dizzy to a point where I want to throw up or feel like passing out. Maybe it's because of my weight but this pill isn't one to take if you don't want to feel sick the whole time you're on it. I wish I had money for trinessa again. "


"I was just prescribed amoxicillin clav 875mg- 2 pills a day. I'm going on my 3rd day of meds. The first day I had a horrible headache but I'm prone to them and the weather was rainy too. Soo I figure that could have been something else. The worst thing I have experienced is the nausea. It happens a few hours after I have taken a dose. I've been taking the meds with a half bottle of water. I sip some milk and eat cereal along with it each time. Usually a few hrs after dose and or when I eat I will have to go to the bathroom. Somewhat loose stool. May be the nausea but I also feel sick/feverish a few hours after the pill but I do not have a fever. Comes and goes."


"For two year (09' 10') we were trying to figure out why my knee hurt so bad. Over the two years it moved into my whole body! I had seen 5 doctors but they had no idea and gave me guidelines of what I could not do. Which made the RA flare up worse. On Dec. 8, 10 I was at school (I am not one to complain about pain) and I broke down crying. My rheumatoid arthritis had gotten so bad in my back that it started shuting down my SNS and I could not walk. I had to have my friends carry me to the school office. My parents stayed home with me for a week because I could not move without someone. We were able to get in to see a pediatric rheumatologist on Dec. 15 10. That day I was dianosed with the disease. This is the first medicine that has helped."


"Today is day 3
Words of enthusiasm - Be strong and take all your pills on time
You can do it girl"


"I have found Lyrica very helpful. I have fibromyalgia and I also suffer from depression. (I am also a diabetic). I used Lyrica with no expectations of any kind. I was so surprised when for the first time in I don't know how long I could move my head easily and what a reduction in pain. I am so happy I was not afraid to try it."


"For me it's smoother than Adderall XR, less of the jitters/jumpy. Been on it for a while, and it's the best I've come across. (Desoxyn made me feel tired/yawn, Adderall gave me jitters and suppressed appetite too much, Ritalin was just bad). At first just like Adderall you will experience some back pain and need to drink extra glasses of water for cotton-mouth, but after that.. It's more normal. I've also found to some extent taking a magnesium supplement helps to keep the potency alive. As with all of the ADD meds the potency tends to fade."


"I just want to say that Drysol really works for me, its been 2 weeks now and I've used it like 3-4 times and haven't seen a drop from my armpits yet. Let me tell you how good Drysol is - I put it on Thursday, the day I got it, and my armpits were dry that whole weekend. All I did is took a shower for everyday I went out, Friday, Saturday and on Sunday I was at the game. I didn't have time to put it on more than once that whole weekend and my armpits were dried. Nothing works like Drysol. I'm writing this because I hope this post helps someone else. I did a lot of research but I'm done. This is my last stop. I just wanted to leave feedback and big thanks to people who made it."

"I am about to do my 4th treatment. I have used Androgel and injections, and nothing has worked like this. You have to give it at least 2 weeks after the treatment to see the full effect. It has really worked for me. My symptoms go away until about 2 weeks before my next treatment. That is the only issue."


"I had a good experience with Skyla, virtually no pain on insertion, like I didn't even feel it, although I had it put in 6 weeks after giving birth. Also, my provider numbed me, I wonder if some of the people who experienced such high levels of pain weren't numbed? I had the mirena prior to having my daughter and that was terrible, worst pain ever, took them two tries to get it in and then they couldn't get it out, had to do an ultrasound, anyway it was absolutely awful, plus they did not numb me at all nor did they inform me at that time mirena was not recommended for woman who hadn't already given birth. Cramped with mirena for weeks but only experienced slight cramping with skyla and overall feel like it has had less side effects."


"This pill made so depressed I could not get out of bed for 6 months. It also caused all the good bacteria in my stomach to wiped out, so I would get at least 1 vaginal Yeast Infection a month. My skin became so dry it would flake off. I had no libido. My periods were little to non-existent, no cramping, but my PMS was off the charts brutal."


"Very positive. Reduced senseless anxiety though a perceived negative is that it also aids in supressing useful anxiety. For example, situations of potential physical conflict that pre Cymbalta I wisely walked away from I tend not to do whilst taking the drug. It doesn't make me angry or violent it simply makes me less concerned about the possibilty of a negative outcome."


"Finacea is a miracle drug, but the key to perfect (most of the time) skin is adding a good moisturizer. I use a good skin moisturizer for rosacea. I have my beautiful, glowing skin back!!! It is all worth the money to me. If your skin is burning and red it is probably because you are not using the right moisturizer. Remember, people with rosacea need special moisturizers. Maybe find one made specifically for rosacea.

Good luck!!"


"I LOVED Wellbutrin....until I had a seizure.  I had the seizure within two days of upping the dosage from 150mg to 300 mg.  Saw a neurologist.  Ran the tests and the seizure was attributed to Wellbutrin.  It lowered the seizure threshold.  I wish it hadn't because for the first time in years I had so much energy."


"I was happy with medication, as I did not have as many side effect, but on day 17 of taking it, I developed a rash on my stomach, next day chest and lower back, third day neck and face. It was the only thing I was doing differently, so I looked up its side effects. Rash was listed and could occur within 10 to 20 days. It is a Saturday, so as advised online I stopped the medication. I hope this a temporary condition, and I can begin again, or an alternative can be found."


"I've been on Victoza since July 2010.  As of December 2010 (5 months later) I have lost 50 lbs, appetite has been still not much since I've been on Victoza.  My blood sugars have been in the average of 140s 2 hours after I eat and feel great!  I hope this keeps up because it does help me with the weight loss issue as well as my type 2 diabetes!  When I first was on Victoza I had really bad headaches and nausea and some diarrhea.  But that lasted about a month to month and a half and since then I have not had any issues with side effects. Greatly recommended prescription for those who have tried everything under the sun to keep sugar in control and the only possible next step was going to be insulin.  I would recommend to give this medicine a try."


"I have used the Copper IUD for contraception for 5 months, and I hope to NEVER have to use anything else. Yes, my cramps are crazy and I bleed a lot more when I'm on my period (I also get some mild cramping leading up to my period) but I find all of this manageable. The copper IUD has NO SIDE EFFECTS besides cramping and increased bleeding, people who experience hair loss, acne, mood issues, etc... are more than likely suffering from transitioning off of hormonal BC, since there are NO HORMONES in the Copper IUD. I love mine. It's so easy, I'm never at the mercy of my doctor or pharmacy for a prescription, and it's so cheap in Canada. Mine cost $67 CAD, for 10 years of no babies! Plus, it's 99% effective, so lots of peace of mind"


"I was prescribed Augmentin several months ago for a severe sinus and upper respiratory infection, 8 days into a 10 day course I was even more sick than when I started.  I  ended up on Levaquin and steriods for 14 days as a result.

Once again a few days ago my primary care prescribed Augmentin for another sinus & UTI  despite my protests.  Within two days my chest is considerably worse and I am also experiencing terrible stomach pain and nausea.  I will be on the phone tomorrow insisting on a new medication."


"This shot ruined my life. After recieving this vaccine I began to pass out up to ten times a day. I couldn`t do anything because I would faint without warning. Now I have horrible tremors, GI problems, and daily joint pain. I have heard other people have had these same effects from this vaccine. My doctor was very pushy about getting this vaccine. I would never recommend this vaccine."


"I've been on this bc for 2 and a half weeks and so far the only thing that I have experienced is breast tenderness and more tired than usual. I'll give another update after a month. I take it the same time every night around 12 midnight."


"I will give this medication a couple more days, but so far it has been awful for me because of the side effects. I am constantly dizzy/lightheaded and feeling slightly sick to my stomach. As I have a daily 60 mile round-trip commute to and from work, that's scary. It also appears to be affecting my depth perception. "


"Best medicine ever taken!  Amazing results!!"


"I had a severe inflamed left arm. Many medicines did not work. I then took Relafen, one tablet one hour before bedtime with food and then at bedtime I took another. The next morning the inflammation, which was in my whole arm, was gone and I was able to pinpoint the area of the inflammation with pinpoint accuracy. I was operated at that spot. A few years later I had a severe inflammation in my right foot. It would not go away so I then took the same dose that night. The next morning the inflammation was gone.
"


"I have been on isotretinoin for roughly six weeks now and I have had clearer skin since 3 weeks in! Side effects I've had are dry lips, small nose bleeds in my first week, dry hands and dry face. But it is so worth it as I know these are only temporary side effects! I have also noticed I don't have to wash my hair everyday, so it's also great if you suffer from greasy hair/skin! I would defiantly recommend!"


"Took my first dose Mucinex D at 1030am yesterday took a small nap around 1230 for about half hour and have been awake since its now 8am the next day, yes I finally feel relief in my sinuses, I no longer look like a puffy faced Darth Vader sounded and its cleaning up a ton of congestion but sleeping is not in my favor.. ugh but I'm glad it's clearing things up for me.. just need some sleep"


"I have been on many anti-depressant medication for years. The last prescription was mirtazapine. Weight gain was ridiculous. My new doctor has prescribed 5 milligrams for the first two weeks then increase to 10 milligrams. After the first week I feel amazing I've had no side effects. I want to get out of bed, get dressed. Open the window shade for sunshine. I have not felt this good in a very long time. Two thumbs up kudos to my new doctor for prescribing this amazing antidepressant"


"I was in Lomedia 24 FE, loved it!  Well for some unknown reason you can find it anymore and no one knows why!  The Dr knows nothing about it being discontinued, the pharmacy just says "our manufacturer can't get it, but we don't know why".  Google has no answers, and I thought google knew on EVERYTHING!

They switch my prescription to this Blisovi 24 fe, it sucks!  Gained weight, that won't come off but worse than that - I spot ALL the time, I may have two periods a month.  I never know what to expect each day!  I've been on it for a year now, and have had 2 normal periods.  The rest are heavy, last longer than it should, stop one day and then begin again a week later - I HATE IT!!!  Bring Lomedia 24 fe back - PLEASE!!!!"


"For 19 years I've had panic attacks and I've been hell and back until I discovered clonazepam ! Amazing! I don't care about this being addictive its a gold star to me and thousands of others....everyday I wished myself to curl up and die to stop the fear and dread...that wasn't living I was stuck in hell and became agrophobic...I panicked over every small matter...I thought I had gone mad....until I discovered someone on a site like this saying how good it is so I asked my doctor who hadn't even heard of it???..but I demanded to try this med as I was so tired of being scared constantly.... Hated myself cause I couldn't even be a proper family as I just lived in fear ...I started on 0.5 and got to my right dose of 2 mg!!!!! It was a miracle!"


"My 8 year old son is on this medication. I get it with a coupon and pay $28 for it.

My son was on Adderall 5 mg, however developed tick so he was switched to Intuniv. He isn't as focused. Really miss the Adderall. His grades have declined. Wish there was something else I could try."


"I have had acne since I was about 12 and now I am 22. I have tried everything under the sun to try and stop the horrid look. When my white heads turned into cyst like pimples I knew I had to completely do something else. I never took birth control before, but my dermatologist prescribed me TriNessa and I bless her heart everyday!!!! I love that I can be 100% honest and say this birth control changed my life. I started it in the beginning of December 2014 and it is now February of 2015 and my cysts are completely gone! It obviously is not going to happen over night, so take the time and try it! I also didn't gain weight from it, that's always a plus. So, drink water, workout, and take TriNessa and you will be a happy, happy girl!!!!!!!!"


"My husband has had good results.  Some of the side effects he has experienced are diarrhea, occasional nausea, foot pain, hair loss.  His tumor markers were lower significantly in a short period of time - from 26,000 to 1,000 within 3 months.  Oncologist was very please with his results."


"I have had a very good experience with Adipex."


"I use Halcion. It will help for falling a sleep. It works great for me. I don't have the drowzieness when wake up in the morning."


"I have had the Implanon for 7 months with no period. The only side effect that I am having is acne not just on my face but on my neck and back as well, other then that out works great."


"Best drug out there for pain"


"This drug has changed my life. I went from not being able to leave my house for almost a year to living a full life again. It took so many medications before my Dr decided to try zoloft. I started at 25mg whIch didn't really work and then moves up to 50mg. This was better but once I got on 100mg my life has transformed. If you are doubting if it is working, don't worry I did too. Give it months not weeks. It took a long time for me to feel better on it, but I am so glad I waited. I highly recommend this drug. I has minimal side effects the first few weeks with it. The worst thing was probably the drunken feeling during week 1. Seriously, don't give up."


"I have been taking Belviq for 1 year next month and I have not lost any weight. disappointed."


"I was prescribed Viibryd for Major Depressive Disorder. Felt a little better after 2 weeks on the 30 day sample pack, but when I got up to 40 mg after 2 pills I started experiencing drug induced psychosis (heard a man's voice whispering one morning while I was alone, which I never had before), and also felt no emotions and felt floaty like nothing mattered. Then my doctor dropped me back down to 20 mg, generally I have been great around other people, but only recently in the past few weeks have I started feeling a heaviness in my chest like I feel like crying, and a constant feeling of being fat even though I exercise and eat regularly and only weigh around 135-139pds. I'm not sure if the medication is working for me anymore."


"I was diagnosed with ADHD in 6th grade and have taken Stattera ever since. I am a college student now and its worked so well for me that I continuously make good grades. I would recommend this medicine to anyone who is having problems finding one to work."


"This has been a life saver for me. I've had several bouts of diverticulitis and my gastroenterologist referred me to a surgeon for a consult. I asked for a trial of Linzess. Immediately I had relief. It worked "too well" in the beginning (stayed close to bathroom entire a.m.). Now I use 145 dose daily and I am fine. So grateful for Linzess!"


""Had immense pain, discomfort and stiffness in my hip joint. My GP prescribed me Diclofenac, and it provided instant relief and reduced the inflammation straight away as after just one dose I could move again like almost normal. Two more doses the next day but then had to discontinue due to the unacceptable side-effects: heart palpitations, hot flushes, restlessness, minor anxiety. But I must state here though for you that I can hardly tolerate Ibuprofen or any NSAID pain-killer for that matter, of late that is. Earlier, I´d tolerate medicines like sweets, but after taking  Ciprofloxacin 14 months ago, and that has messed up my whole system: I've even developed a number of food intolerances as well. So, it might still work better for you."


"Ambien has helped me tremendously over the past couple years.  I go to sleep instantly and do not wake up at all during the night.  I also feel absolutely great in the morning.  No hangover or anything."


"I have been on Embeda for just 1 month, and at first it was rough constantly hurting and withdrawals, extremely tired, headaches. Now I guess things are starting to level off but the headaches persist but my pain is finally under control with the Embeda 30-1.2 once a day and percocet 10mgs 3 times day for break through pain. I have degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis in both knees, fibromyalgia, Lupus, I'm hoping I can soon get my life back. I'm grateful for the not high feeling and the most important thing is I'm not constantly not pain anymore so my depression is getting better and I don't have to use the percocet as much. Now if the headaches leave and the over tired feeling would leave I will 100 percent."


"Started on 1mg dose after being prescribed 2mg. I have trust issues with any med, blood pressure ok . Been taking it a month. Eyes are red and swollen, sex drive is about half what it was, having trouble getting erection, I sleep better but not worth the other side effects. Weight gain also. No more for me! I'm not happy."


"I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder which I knew I had but never treated as I was skeptical ...

Using propranolol on 10mg 2 times a day or 20 mg at night never more ...it was ok for a short time and worked instantly but symptoms returned 3 x worse than ever ..

I don't take anything now and try not to rely to much on medication

Anxiety never leaves me I'm shaking now with nerves

Thanks but I wont take them again"


"Hello ladies I'm 16 and this is my first YI its also how I found out I am pregnant! This is my first day using the 7 day monistat and I was fine at first but within 15 minutes my vajajay is on fire! And itching sooo bad I put a tampon up there so the medication wouldn't come out and a wet rag down there on and off and finally after about an hour and a half I have some relief .... PS it helps to wear really loose clothing down there so air can get to it ."


"First few days some nausea. Lighter period and cramps were not as bad and I was not as moody the days before my period.  I have now been on it a month and a half and been having spotting and cramps for the past three days."


"I'm a 19 year old male. I was put on citalopram 40mg daily for stress and anxiety, and it is amazing. Other than the uncontrollable yawning I'm happy again.  It's hard to worry about the small things now."


"I would never go back to Synthroid as the side effects were unbearable. "


"When diagnosed with a rare psychiatrically based seizure disorder over 30 years ago, it took ten tries to find this medication. All the others had significant side effects. The only noticeable one is immediate memory loss, with long term memory intact. I find that an acceptable trade-off.  I take it only as prescribed, but have to be careful of supplements that also thin my blood."


"Yeah, it works.

Some people are more sensitive than others. Generally, you take a pill (depends on dosage) and you just start feeling your tight chest and stomach release, and I notice I begin breathing more calmly and normally. Just feels good all over, which is such a contrast from the horrors of anxiety.

It can make you a little sleepy. I think for 'normal people' it would make them very sleepy. For 'anxious' people, I think it makes you normal and relaxed.

The one problem is that if you take it too much, like three days in a row, the effect is reduced and you have to 'up' the dosage. I think it works best for occasional use, like before a difficult situation or when you're just having a lot of anxiety and need calm."


"I really liked this birth control. Except a couple things.. constant yeast infections and sooooo much vaginal discharge it was so disgusting. My periods would also come heavy for 10 days. I mean it's convenient but I wouldn't put it in again."


"When I was Diagnosed With thyroid problems around nine years ago. My TSH was a 6.7. I was placed on Synthriod. I developed terrible headaches right from the start. The Dr. decided to switch over to Levoxyl brand. Let me tell you it has been a whirl wind of problems from tiredness, to aches and pains coming out of nowhere. I gain 50lbs in the last nine years. Constantly dieting, the gym, nothing worked. Swelling and cloudy thinking. The Dr. said my TSH was normal. Okay, just started on Armour Thyroid 60mg. Unbelievable. My aches and pains are gone. Lost five pounds in these last two weeks. Swelling is gone and I am alert! Do your homework and take charge. I finally did! " Armour changed my life"."


"I went on this because I am 36 and premenopausal with premature ovarian failure. My periods are 21 to 28 days apart with premenstrual migraine with vertigo and I've had severe endometriosis with removal of an ovary and fallopian tube. I've been on 5mg of Norithindrone everyday for the past 4 months. Side effects I've had: nausea, breast tenderness and cramping at certain times of the month, headaches, weight gain (12 pounds in 4 months!) -I am hungry ALL the time! Big time Bloating!, mood swings, constipation. I have not gotten my period in 4 months. Night sweats are gone. And premenstrual migraine with vertigo has decreased slightly. I still think I have been ovulating and cycling only without my period (if that makes sense)."


"I have been suffering in silence with my foot odor my entire adult life. I have been stared at, and talked about behind closed doors and lost many job due to my excessive foot sweating and odor WITH MY SHOES ON! I started using Hypercare at night, wrapping my feet in plastic with socks and I have not had a day of foot odor since. I recently started a new job, and I'm so happy that I don't offend anyone with foot odor anymore."


"My asthma's been getting worse every year, and spring allergy season is the worst. I got on Singulair three weeks ago and it's completely changed my life. I haven't needed my Albuterol at all in the last two weeks. I can breathe free and easy. For the first time in years, I've been able to walk to the store without wheezing. I wish I'd gotten on this a long time ago, but until recently I couldn't afford the prescription cost. I'll really be happy when a generic is available."


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


"My blood pressure was improved with Lorsartan, but I had many side effects.  My blood pressure would drop to as low as 98 over 84 with heart rate of 130. I would be dizzy and so tired I just wanted to sleep. At least  once a week I would experience diarrhea. I coughed a lot and it was getting worse.  I had foot and leg cramps.  I was feeling terrible.  Since stopping use of this drug and improving my diet I am feeling much better and my symptoms have disappeared. My blood pressure is under control without it.  This drug is poison and was killing me."


"The insertion I had a awful time with, it really hurt me and I cramped and bled awhile. I have always has pretty clear skin until I got this, I have a new breakout EVERY day!!!! Its annoying and they are whiteheads and dont' go away! So I am trying to get mine removed or get on a face medication because I'm getting married. Other than the terrible acne, you never know its there"


"I started Topamax two days ago. I was very scared to try this medicine because of all the side effects and put off trying it for years. So far I have had the numb/tingling extremities and what seems to be a bit of a brain fog (trouble focusing,recalling words) I also noticed that soda doesn't taste the same. I drank one today and it was HORRIBLE! I also feel really lightheaded. I am determined to ride this one out for as long as possible, though. I've tried most other medications without success so this really is my last hope."


"Vomiting, headaches, loss of energy, Suicidal Thoughts,  and urinary cramps.. my doctor wants me to stay on this six to eight weeks though before he will let me try gabbapentin.

Military doctors must get paid a bunch to prescribe this mess!"


"Worst pain in my life. I am crying uncontrollably right now. Don't recommend it."


"It seems to be making me slightly drowsy. But I'm sure after a few days I wont feel anything."


"After 47 years of smoking more than a pack a day and after 15 years of dreaming to get rid of it , I finally heard of Champix as it is called in these parts. It's like a miracle. The cravings, almost unbearable with cold turkey, went away just like that from the very beginning. I am in my third  clean week now. Side effects are really crazy dreams, a daylong slight dizziness, loss of appetite, constipation. But it's all worth it. Short pangs of craving occasionally occur. This product should be far more widely publicized ! There is hope now."


"I used Rhofade a few times and it seemed to work.  After about 3 days, my face became really red and flushed.  I felt like I was burning up.  My doctor told me to stop it."


"I started taking Nortriptyline a couple years ago after about a six month long migraine that never seemed to get relieved. I had tried amitriptyline before but it made me very drowsy. The headache relief with 75mg daily of Nortriptyline has been nothing short of miraculous for me. I do get rare mild to intermediate headaches from time to time but they never last long at all. The dry mouth is a real occurrence, but easily ignored. I've been reading about other possible side effects lately and was surprised to find that tingling and numbness in the extremities is a possible rare phenomenon. I must admit my fingers do get numb frequently. I was beginning to wonder if I was experiencing a symptom of carpal tunnel syndrome. Small price though!"

"I had a sinus infection. I had never had any problems with antibiotics but this one gave me severe headaches. I was nauseated, had a bad taste in my mouth and got chills. "


"I have struggled with minor acne all throughout high school. Just as soon as I got the acne off my face, new patches would appear. I tried every OTC medication and cream, with no avail. I even tried proactive, which actually just caused more new acne. When I went off to college, I decided to take action. My dermatologist prescribed me with Ziana, and I have to admit, I was nervous. She told me that it is a very new product, and it may not work. After four nights of treatment, all of the acne and redness of my face was gone. Completely gone! I was, to say the least, excited. I stopped after four days and am still acne free three weeks later!"


"I've had an overactive bladder since I can remember as a child and came to think of it as "normal".   Started taking Ditropan 25+ years ago but it along with other meds stopped working after a while.  My urologist suggested Botox injections and it has been life changing!  I sleep all night without having to get up to go to the bathroom 3 or 4 times like before Botox and can drink a cup of coffee without having to go at least 3 times an hour.  I've had injections once a year for the last three years and couldn't be happier with the results.  My suggestion is run don't walk to your doctor and have the injections!  The results are as close to a miracle as I've ever experienced."


"I began this product last year and did well. Was switched to the pill but I cannot remember to take it, so yesterday my doctor switched me back. Today I feel very uneasy, sad, I've cried all day."


"I started taking Aviane when I was 16 1/2 and I've been on it ever since. I'm now 21 and about to discontinue my use of Aviane. It caused me to be emotional almost all the time, I have very little patience, moods swings, I gained weight, it's tough to lose weight, I have constant headaches and my acne is horrible to the point of scarring. Since I was taking this birth control through the toughest of teenage years, I just thought this was who I became. But after doing research and finding this website, I now know I'm not the only one who has suffered through taking Aviane. It did its job with preventing pregnancy, but didn't help with my heavy period and painful cramps. I'm finishing my current pack and it'll be my last."


"I love this birth control. I've been on it for almost five months. I've been on two other pills before. They made me have severe mood swings and horrible depression, so my doctor put me on this one. I love it. My breasts have gotten bigger as well- which is a HUGE plus for me. Also, the only thing I use is these pills- no condoms or anything else, and I have a very active sex life, and I haven't gotten pregnant, so it is doing a great job. It has given me a higher sex drive too.  I have two problems with it, but the pros outweigh the negatives. Firstly, I get nausea when I start a new pack. It usually lasts 3-4 days. It also gives me heavy periods. Though, they only last 3-4 days."


"I am happy to finally find a sleep aid along with mood stabilizer all in one. I take 1mg Xanax 2x a day for anxiety. I was on ambien 10mg for sleep and it didnt work it  took 20mg just to put me to sleep. My psychiatric put me on Trazadone 200-300mg at night and it works wonders. I wake up refreshed and in a better mood all in all. Im not depressed and my mood has improved drastically due to it."


"Every time I think I don't need this medicine I always go back to it. Now I found that with the Celexa it does not work as well."


"I have had 3 major life-saving surgeries in 11 months, and have tried a number of pain medications. While grateful to be alive, the constant pain had reduced my quality of life to just about zero. I now take Oxycontin 20 mg 2x a day,   vicodin 10/325 4 times a day for breakthrough pain. This "recipe" has literally given me my life back!  Occasional constipation is the only real side-effect I've experienced. 6 months ago I spent most of my life in bed. Now I am able to participate in all the activities I enjoyed before the surgeries, and take care of the day to day responsibilities of housekeeping, etc, without help. "


"A & E diagnosed with bronchitis, tonsillitis, and sinusitis, had low oxygen and high heart rate so given these tablets as they cover all 3 infections, very strong tablets.
First tablet I took on practically empty stomach, big mistake, started feeling sick then started panicking which make my breathing bad, my husband was about to take me back to A&ee but I managed to calm down and have some soup. 2nd tablet I took with food and was getting heart palpitations for 30 minutes. Went to bed woke up took another tab and feeling a bit better already, temperature gone, sore throat gone, just sinus pain still and cough with phlegm. Slight stomach pain but I get stomach pain all the time so unsure if related. Funny taste some time in my mouth. Fast acting."


"I swear this pill made me so anxious. I would have so many panic attacks and always feeling the worst was about to happen. It always got better on the period week...the week not on the pill (obvi). I don't know....I don't recommend this pill to someone who may struggle with anxiety or depression. I did perfectly fine on Ortho Tri Cycline other than I had switched due to the irritability I felt. I then realized, I'd rather be a grump than always going in panic mode."


"24 years old, I have very hormone-related acne, with oily skin. Used alongside tetralysal and yasmin combined oral contraceptive, works wonders. I ran out over xmas and my skin flared up very badly (I also had exams - I am training to be a doctor - and obviously over the festive period I perhaps indulged in a few sugary treats which I'm sure didn't help...) but epiduo sorted it out in a matter of weeks.

As other users have remarked, do be careful as it can burn the skin a little and it becomes a little flaky. If this happens stop using for a few days and moisturise the non-spotty areas which are peeling.

I would also recommend lots of fruits and veggies, minimal chocolate, plenty of exercise and regular cleaning of the face."


"I have been on and off prednisone for the last 10 years. The last few years I have been on it a lot more due to my severe, severe, severe Steroid Dependent Asthma that is not controlled with the medicines I am on including the Xolair Shots. This recent round I have been on 40mg since March 23rd until June 15th when I go back to see my Doctor. "


"Have been suffering for 14 years with various levels of Mania.

I was finally prescribed 300mg Lithium Carbonate for Bi-Polar. Skeptical of yet another wrong diagnosis, I tried 150 mg for 2 weeks.

I saw an improvement after the first night. I was able to fall straight asleep and woke up without tremors or intense crazy dreams. YAY!

After about the first week, my life started slowing down and I could get nothing done.

I stopped taking it and the mania stayed away for about 2 weeks. The Mania has just started coming back."


"was on 20 mg Cipralex  then doctor added q

150 Buspar within 2 weeks my anxiety and depression got a lot worse, trouble sleeping and uncontrolled shaking Not for me"


"I had my 1st shot on Sept 2nd.  I have had nonstop bleeding since.  Other side effects include extreme fatigue, chills, headache, menstrual cramps almost daily, depression and painful urination.  I want my life back.  I have made 3 calls to my clinic and can't get past the front desk.  All I get told is there is nothing they will do about it until after I've had my 3rd shot.  Please,if your considering this shot, don't do it."


"This is significantly better than the albuterol. I've had asthma for 17 years and always suffered from horrible side effects of albuterol- racing heart, tremors, being jittery; I heard about levalbuterol and LOVE it- such an improvement- works just as well as albuterol with fewer side effects.  Way to go!"


"I have taken Lexapro 5-10mg for at least 15 years.  It was effective for me within a few days of beginning.  My anxiety causes me to be bad tempered and sometimes explosive.  (the straw that broke the camel's back).

I am calm, more focused, and am able to follow through with tasks better.

I don't know that I have experienced side effects other than trouble falling asleep.  I am 79 years old and it could be an "old person thing"."


"I have been taking trazodone for about 8 weeks and the first 3-5weeks were fairly rough. Felt dizzy standing up, BAD headaches, nausea especially just after taking the medicine. However it is a wonder helping me fall of to sleep. 9 times out of 10 I'm out in 15 minutes and in a very deep sleep, nothing will wake me for 8-9 hours. As long as you put your head down and close your eyes! If you stay awake, you will feel TERRIBLE and very sick! The past week I have noticed anxiety has reduced and mood has improved slightly. My motivation is still pretty low. However I had terrible side effects on several previous medicines, ended up in hospital with some nasty ones! A few dizzy spells for a few weeks is pretty good really!"


"I suffer from my L4 & L5 Disc herniation, knee problems where sometime the injection of Cortisone works and then sometimes not and recently I broke my shoulder in 3 separate parts now going on the 4th time that I re injured it again. My previous doctor went out her way to make sure that I didn't have pain . Unfortunately now I had this new Doctor who decided that tramadol  was the best thing for my pain . It didn't do anything for my pain  Her or my pain management Dr didn't even seem to care.  She finally prescribed 5 mg of oxycodone and I am a big guy! This does doesn't help me. Beacuase of bad apples we have to pay with very little pain relief."


"You cannot avoid opiates without Naltrexone being addictive mindset we continue push our efforts in getting next fix but if there is no reward I mean high then wants the use being opiate user for last 10 years tried almost every opiate available I could say that this is one pill or shot you must not forget to take although initially there is trouble sleeping,loose bowel(very bad) sex drive nil but I hope this is temporary since only been week or so taking this pill earlier taken for two.months then relapsed that's why it's important

to remind yourself that this pill can only save your life,All the best to recovering addicts"


"Have been taking 300mg for 3 weeks now.  I had HORRIBLE side effects in the beginning (for about a week) - almost unbearable nausea, diarrhea, sweating, vertigo, headaches, confusion and I felt like I had the flu.  Now I have migraine headaches that last almost all day and ringing in my ears.  I still feel a little foggy sometimes but that is a small price to pay for my depression being pretty much completely gone.  I finally have energy and I am shocked at how quickly it worked.  I was suicidal for months while on 225mg of Effexor and this has been a life saver."


"It states ON the Monistat box that burning, itching, and even some cramping are the most common side effects. It's not fun but unless you are in tears & in unusual crazy pain you will be fine. I think some people just have a higher pain tolerance than others.  If you want to get well, stick with it. I used the one-day egg capsule & it burned & itched some but was fine. It's not fun, but, if you want the nasty infection to go away, you need to do what the directions say, or if it's your first time - what Dr says.  If you can afford it, Monistat sells a kit (about $26) that will tell you if it's a YI or Bacterial infection. If test shows it's NOT a YI DO NOT use Monistat!!  Go to the Dr."


"Have been on Lisonipril for 3 yrs with no side effects so I'm lucky.  Has kept my blood pressure within normal range or lower."


"I am going through menopause, I have been crying most days for about a year, I have constant obsessive negative thoughts about myself.  I went to the doctor to request HRT. She talked me into Prozac. I was diagnosed with low depression, mid range anxiety and high stress. I have only been taking this for 6 days, but already my life has changed. The tears have stopped, I am no longer obsessing about things that might or might not happen, My confidence is back, I am reaching out more socially, and feel once again that life is good. I do however eat well and exercise regularly, I don't think any thing can counteract a poor diet and no exercise. Hot flashes have also almost disappeared. So far no side effects."


"I have chronic pain due to trauma injuries to my shoulder and elbow (implant). I also have moderate - severe back pain due to spondylothesis. I have had these problems for 5 to 10 years. I was taking oxycodone 15 mg every 4 to 6 hours and that managed my pain pretty well, reducing it from an 8/10 down to 0/10 to 3/10 depending on whether I took the medication before the pain got too intense.

I was then switched to Tramadol 50 for a holiday from the opioid. The Tramadol did not provide ANY pain relief.

I did experience the brain zaps that can be common with SNRI medication and that was after only 11 days (they become more frequent and intense with increased dose and period). I discontinued Tramadol after 13 days."


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


"When you first begin taking Nifedipine, It causes migraines for about the first 3 days.  If you miss 2 or more doses, it causes headaches, flushing and nausea. I developed a rash and swelling on one side of my face.  The rash covered my body.  Do not take if you are taking Vitamin C or B complex."


"I was on the 28 day starter pack made it to the regular dose of 30 mg 2x aday
Severe headaches like I have never experienced before, I have had migraines for over 40 years these were worse. MD reduced dose to 30 once a day.
Still had some headaches, jaw pain and nausea the side effects have outweighed the good- no real improvement in hands - will stop taking Otezla
It also made me extremely moody and angry."


"I suffer with cc frequently.  Until Linzes the only relief was magnesium citrate.  I use it more on a as needed basis as it frequently brings on a watery stool for a few hours after taking for a couple days. It has brought my cc into a manageable situation. There can be slight lower back discomfort when the watery stool occurs but it prevents all the abdominal pain associated with my cc."


"I took a total of two 750 mg pills in two days. The day after the first pill I woke up and both my calf muscles felt extremely sore and very tight. I decided to press forward because I wanted to clear up my infection. Later on at night after I took pill two, I had the sensation of pins and needles radiating throughout my body. I thought to myself, something's not right. I decided not to take anymore. When I woke up in the morning after day two, I could barely step down on my feet and walk. I've been off for 4 days now and my symptoms seem to be clearing up slowly. Very slowly. I'm unsure how people take this medication for 5, 7, 10 or even 14 days or more. It will ruin your muscles and tendons and can cause you to become disabled very quick"


"i had it put in yesterday morning. didnt hurt a bit just became very dizzy after insertion and needed to sit dow, felt cramps but ibuprofen helped to eliminate that, had some bleeding yesterday, today just some brown spotting. too soon to tell, hopefully the spotting will stop soon and periods all together. I feel like my lower pelvis is a little inflamed or something is in there, but maybe its the cramps... I have reduced ibuprofen mh only taking 200 mg, hope to not have to take any tomorrow."


"Works very well. Takes the edge right off"


"I've been taking Effexor XR for over a half of a year now.
PROS: The biggest notice with this medicine is that I have not had a migraine since! I've been getting migraines for over five years and the frequency is one migraine every two weeks; not fun at all. Since I have started the Effexor XR I have not gotten a migraine since then, which is very unusual! I also feel more social!

CONS: I had to drop the dose to the minimum since I was a little bit more irritable at times. Also, I am unsure if the Effexor is helping me gain weight or if that's my fault for the lack of exercising. I started to get TMJ (grinding of the teeth) when I took Effexor with Amitriptyline at night. It stopped since I take Effexor in the morning and the other at night."


"Lexapro was a life saver for me. It helped me complete every day tasks that I could not do before taking this drug. I've tried nearly every other SSRI but this one was the best. The only negative part about this drug is the withdrawal symptoms. They are HORRIBLE. I recently found out I was pregnant and I had to cut down my dose according to my Dr. I was super dizzy, very faint and unable to leave my house. If I didn't have to stop these drugs, I would still be okay. However, slowly weening off these drugs have caused me to slip in a horrible anxious state."


"I have suffered with anxiety and agoraphobia since I was 6. Since the age of 19, I never went more than 45 mins from home. I started on Lexapro and an anti-anxiety medicine in 2009. I have made it to a beach that I hadn't seen since I was 14, I am now 60, and have been 7 times since 2009. The drive is 1 hr 30 mins from home. I go every summer, more than once, and sometimes stay a few days, one time staying 6 days! This medicine is a God send, I wish they had it 20 years ago."


"Love Levoflaxin. i was on another antibiotic for weeks and after 3 days on Levoflaxin my symptoms were all gone."


"Zithromax works.  I see a lot of websites stating that bronchitis is usually caused by a virus.  The fact is, that although the triggering mechanism that brought on the bronchitis may be a virus, a secondary infection of bacteria is common. My entire family had bronchitis for several weeks.  Zithromax will get rid of it in most cases.  Don't believe the nonsense that you don't need antibiotics- after a couple of weeks of this, go get some Zithromax.  It works!"


"Been on Methadone a year best thing that has happen to me love the way it feels plus it takes away the cravings and withdrawal. don't listen to the haters"


"I have been taking mononessa for almost 3 years, and I haven't had any problems taking these pills.
I can recommend mononessa because I haven't been pregnant, its good"


"I just started this medication and I like it for the hyperactivity side of my ADHD. I have tried almost every ADHD medication but most recently was on vyvanse, with the vyvanse I had great concentration but the hyperactivity was not controlled well so she had me try Adzenys I've only been on it about a week and the taste is not that bad for being a dissolvable medication but I will say that I can't take it immediately and then go to work because I become almost spaced out. I know I probably need to adjust to it and it's great once the first hour has passed. I'm still unsure whether I will stay on adzenys or switch back to vyvanse but so far so good."


"Has anyone had hand and body tremors with Bydureon?  My sugars are back in the normal range.  I've lost 15 lbs in 6 weeks.  I'm having tremors to the point where it's hard to hold a cup to my mouth to take a drink."


"Good medicine."


"Was on this pill for three years for my polycystic ovarian syndrome. I loved it. No cramps, no weight gain, no acne, no spotting (unless of course I didn't take it at the same time every day). Only thing I noticed was I lost my sex drive. I am somewhat worried too; I wanted to give my body a break so I was off the pill for three months and almost went bald. I'm not sure if my PCOS caused it or my body became dependent on the pill and the lack of hormones caused it. So now I'm currently seeing my doctor to resolve this problem and more than likely he will refer me out to a endocrinologist to help regulate my hormones. But remember each person is different and what worked for someone may not work for you and vice versa."


"I have been struggling with stomach issues for several years now and have gone through lots of bloodwork, 2 colonoscopies, stool samples, different diets, you name it! Turns out I have IBS-D and also battle anxiety on a daily basis which makes it worse. My symptoms include cramping, urgency, severe diarrhea (upwards to 10x a day), and sometimes rectal bleeding. I'm often late for work because I'm stuck in the bathroom or afraid to leave the house.  I started taking 100mg twice a day of Viberzi and it's been absolutely amazing. I am currently 15 days diarrhea free, with very minimal cramping. Hoping it stays this way.. forever! I tried Xifaxan back in November and that did nothing for me. It's an expensive medicine, but it's worth it for me."


"I have taken birth control pills for years, before and after I had my daughter (age 4). About 7 or 8 months ago I started having really bad abdominal cramping again, weight gain, break through periods, etc. So 2 months ago, my OB suggested I switch to depo and see if it would help with the issues I was having. In 2 months, I haven't gained any weight (controlling my diet), but I have insane dreams that keep me up every single night, fatigue, increased abdominal pain, periods that have lasted all month, mood swings, migraine headaches (haven't had those in 8 years), and a loss in sex drive. I'm scheduled to get my 2nd shot next month, but I doubt I will. I do not recommend this form of birth control to anyone."


"This birthcontrol changed my moods really bad. I was crying all the time for no reason  could not control my emotions . I feel dizzy and light head, angry, depressed, I had a period for most of the time. I would be on my period for 6 weeks off 1 week on for 6-7 weeks off for a week, these periods were not light either. They were very heavy I would bleed threw my clothes, I would wake up to a blood down to my knees, had to use heavy duty pads that went on for 2 years. Now this last 6 months my period has been regular but my mood swings are the same. Mine is about to expire and I can't wait to have it removed I will not be using this again."


"I'm taking it now. I experienced side effects that are making me get off it. I have severe chest pain, smoke more, sweat like crazy, happier then normal, don't eat, drink liquids all day and night."


"I've been on Trinessa for almost a month now. I'm 18 and ever since I was 15, my periods have been outta wack! I skip 3 months at a time with no period. My doctor put me on Trinessa and so far I haven't had anything wrong! The only thing is I hate the placebo pills. My period has been Terrible! I have TERRIBLE back and stomach cramps, but my bleeding isn't so bad. I highly recommend it to anyone!"


"I have been on all anti-anxiety medicines (lexapro, paxil, effexor).  Personally, when I take an anti-anxiety medicine that is also used for depression, I do not respond well at all.  Even with dose adjustments nothing worked well.  I was prescribed Klonopin five years ago. It last longer than Xanax and in my opinion is more effective for me. I started on 0.5mg 2 xs a day.  Now I'm at 1 mg 2 x a day.  That's not very much. I'm 200 lbs."


"I have migraines since I was 12, I went to different doctors, exams, medicine etc; I was in pain 5 or 6 days in a row till I used gabapentin. This medicine changed my entire life. Now I have a headaches once a month it's incredible. The consequences I'm happy all of the time and I spent more time with my little boys."


"After 4 weeks on Solvaldi and Ribavarin, my viral load is "0", not detected! I'm due for my 8 week test and hope that it will reveal the same, and maybe only have to be on it for 12 weeks. No side effects whatsoever, in fact, I feel great!!
Thank you~~"


"I have psoriatic arthritis and started taking 7.5 mg 1x/day for a week. It didn't help a lot. So I went up to 2x/day for a total of 15 mg daily. Within the first 24 hours of being on 15 mg/day, the inflammation and pain in my joints (hands, wrist, neck, shoulders, etc.) was significantly reduced. It's still there, but it's no longer constant. And, I'm able to do fine motor tasks that were causing a great deal of pain before--driving, writing a lot, typing, etc. I have been taking it continuously for several weeks and will continue to do so for now."


"Doctor prescribed tami flu stopped because I developed itchy red rashes all over. I didn't feel any better during the few days that I took it."


"I take the meds as I am also allergic to penicillin.  Here's a tip for all you with sinus problems.. quit sniffing stuff up your nose!"


"Actually it slows it down.  But after a year on it I was in the ER 3 times with pain in upper GI tract.  I guess my liver didn't like it and I got drug induced hepatitis.   Quit taking it slowed down on sodium intake.  Processed foods.  Watch diet.  Thats it."


"I have been on Victoza for a little over two weeks now.  This is miracle medicine.  My appetite is greatly diminished.  I started with 0.6mg for 2 weeks and then increased my dose to 1.2mg 3 nights ago.  I can only eat a small portion before feeling completely full.  My last 2 fasting blood sugars have been in the 70's.  I have lost 8 pounds in two weeks.  The side effects have been very mild for me.  Very little nausea at first, none now.  Some diarrhea and cramping though. Not sure if this is due to the Metformin I have been on for about a month now.  I would highly recommend this medicine especially for anyone who wants to lose the weight.  So far the benefits highly outweigh the risks."


"My wife started a course of Bydureon in the summer. After 3 months she had not only lost weight but her A1C went from 9  6.something. She felt healthier and had no severe reaction. I went on it when I saw how it worked for her. It affects your appetite and you can avoid junk food without and compulsion to eat it. No problems at all except for constipation. I've lost 20+ pounds in three months and have gone down a few inched on the waistline. Very expensive drug with a month's supply being over $1600 but my insurance covered it for both of us."


"Oxycontin has given me my life back. I have been only taking Oxycontin for 6 months but before that my life was a living hell because of the pain. "


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"I was the rare case that was allergic to Neulasta and ended up in the ER with anaphylaxis the day after getting the injection.  After an epi-pen, many steroids, and a night in the hospital, I'm still feeling the effects of the reaction a week later.  I will now have to finish AC chemo without a white blood cell booster.  Please be careful on this medication and call your doctor at any signs of swelling or trouble breathing."


"I had a wisdom tooth extracted last year and I was prescribed Lortab 7.5 and I remember waking up in excruciating pain when it wore off and even when it didn't hurt, it would still throb. The only thing that helped the throbbing pain was ibuprofen. I had another wisdom tooth extracted yesterday and they asked me if Lortab was ok so I shared my experience and asked her for vicoprofen. Best decision I've ever made. No pain or throbbing, even after the 4-6 hour dose wears off."


"150mg Wellbutrin seemed to have stopped working for me.(I couldn't deal with the side effects of 300mg) I was fatigued and never wanted to do anything. I also had a lot of body aches and pains. I was given brintellix and noticed a significant positive difference within the first month. I had more energy and found myself getting up and doing normal daily activities that I had stopped. I was weened off Wellbutrin and am finding myself uninterested again. I feel I have to push myself to do anything. I am going to start taking Wellbutrin again along with the brintellix. So far, I am amazed at the difference 10mg brintellix has made when taken along with just 75mg of Wellbutrin."

"This medicine zapped the migraine away quickly.  I felt "up".  Slept light with crazy dreams.  10 hrs later I had a bad "coming down" experience.  Paranoid, heart racing, bad trip, dry mouth and initial tingling minor.  This medicine did work, but I didn't like the negative side effects it had on me.  You may not have any side effects.  Be aware of your body's reaction."


"I have been on CONTRAVE now for 6 months I think.
Working but not as potent as in the beginning.
Exercising moderately as well.

It was covered by my insurance but no more. I have lost 31 lbs.
Still,I can't stay on this med forever.
Very expensive when paid out-of-pocket.
I will try it one more month and then get off it.
Side effects are still some dizziness and  intermittent nausea."


"Clonidine has been outstanding in lowering BP and in reducing anxiety.  I have lingering PTSD from a murder many years ago and from a stroke one year ago caused by high BP.  Other BP meds have worked marginally but the Clonidine patch was highly effective at .1 mg but a bit too much a .2 mg lowering BP to 96/60.  The only problem is the patch gives me a bright red itching rash on my arm and so I am going on the pills only and see if that works well. I'm hoping 0.1 mg twice a day should work since Clonidine has a 12 hour half life but we shall see.  I highly recommend this drug for BP and anxiety but monitor BP with it to not go too low."


"Seriously is a wonder medicine if you are truly ready to stop."
