"I have been on Sprintec for 9 months (switched from Generess Fe). For the entire first month I experienced horrible stomach cramps, extreme bloating to where my lower abdomen felt like a rock hard balloon, headaches (I never get headaches) as well as dizziness. I called my doctor after two weeks and told her I couldn't handle it. She told me to finish out the month to give my body a chance to regulate. After that initial month, I have had absolutely no symptoms.  My sex drive has been back to normal and my personality is happy and normal again since switching to Sprintec! Also, my periods are regular and I have very minimal bleeding, cramping, etc. Over all, I would recommend this pill."


"I love this pill! I had pretty bad acne before starting, and my face cleared up within the first pack or two. I have had no weight gain, and no cramping. I get slightly more emotional the week before my period with 1-2 bumps popping up, but other than that, this pill is great."


"I've been constipated for about 5-6 days. I've never used Dulcolax before so I took only 1 at 10pm at around 6 am I had to go...I feel very relieved and no pain or cramps :-)  If you never used this before and you don't know how your body will react, take only 1 first!   Very happy with this product !!!"


"I have had the iud for about 2yrs now and am considering having it removed. I was one of the unlucky few that had a very difficult and painful insertion. I apparently have the cervix from hell. The RN that inserted my iud sent me home with medication to dilate my cervix after the first attempt at insertion failed, even though I went in during my period because it was supposed to make it "easier". No such luck. The pain I experienced reminded me of when my appendix burst. The first 6+ months were hell, 2 periods a month and insane cramps. My periods have mostly normalized and I only get a few days of bad cramping now. If hormones didn't make me crazy and fat and I wasn't afraid of the pain of having it removed I'd already be rid of it."


"DO NOT TAKE THIS. I was prescribed prednisone 5mg for 8 days, taking 8 the first day, 7 the second, 6 the third and so on. Even with being tapered off the medication I had severe withdrawal. The first few days after I felt okay, I just had a headache. Then I was so sick I could not move from bed for a full 24 hours. I was nauseous, had heart burn, an increased bpm, dizzy, and incredibly weak. It has been a few days since I started to feel bad and nothing has improved. While everyone's reaction is different, I strongly recommend you do not take this medication unless absolutely necessary."


"I too take it at night for insomnia and do get RLS sometimes. However if I go to bed within 1 hour after taking it, I don't get the RLS , I'm sleepy by then anyway. What I really like about this medication is when I do wake up during the night, I fall back to sleep within a few minutes. Only downside I've found is it's kind of hard to wake up in the morning sometimes. It also helps keep my moods steady during the day and I don't have as many anxiety episodes."


"I have been suffering of migraine-tension headaches for more than two years now. I tried paracetamol, NSAIDs all not effective, until my doctor prescribed me on beta blockers "propranolol" Inderal 20mg twice a day, and my headache really improved after 2-3 months.

Thanks!"


"I have had grand-mal seizures since age of 15.  Around 32 I started having partial seizures only I didn't know that's what they were till I read a pamphlet in my Drs office.  They put me on Vimpat, which at first did not help with the dizziness I was already feeling from the partial seizures, but after about a year now the dizziness has definitely slowed and I only have partial seizures when I'm overly, overwhelmed, or stressed.  It doesn't help with my grand-mal seizures which I have at least 1-2 every month. I have noticed weight gain, and memory loss which I had before the medication, and hair loss, and tingling in my limbs, but if I drink more water it helps with the tingling. As for the hair loss I take biotin and that has helped."


"I am not a proponent of Big Pharma, and have always had to try to "deal" with my problems on my own. I have a really excellent diet, exercise, don't smoke, eat an organic diet - I'm just saying I really take care of myself. I have had anxiety (with a little bit of depression) all of my life. I was diagnosed with PTSD a few years ago, as I was having severe anxiety about being accepted into nursing school, and if I would be able to handle to stress and constant pressure, and I also have concentration problems. I have been off and on SSRIs, which have been nothing but terrible for me...Paxil, Zoloft, & Prozac, of which made me feel like a zombie. Wellbutrin is GOLD. Not tired, less irritable, not panicky. It has changed my life."


"I've been living with extreme anxiety, quick temp and agitate easily to the point of isolating myself. At 64, my podcast found my fix and diagnosed me as bipolar. I feel like a new person!"


"I have had no negative effects to date (3 months). It has improved my energy and mobility. I hope I can keep on taking it. The way I felt before and how I feel now - I have got my life back."


"I have been overseas for nearly a month now and started experiencing stomach cramps every morning for about a week and then continued with no BM, I'm 19 and have never had issues like this before. Possibly from the food I've been eating not sure, went to a pharmacy here in Thailand and dulcolax is what they gave me, took 2 pills at 7:30pm and went to sleep and woke up at 2am with stomach cramps, painful but bearable. A BM followed where it started off normal before ending in diarhea. Went again about 10 minutes later and am now back in bed at 4am feeling as though I'll get back to sleep with little pain, although my stomach is still rumbling. Not sure what all the fuss is about it's done the job and I feel good that my bowels are clear."


"I was taking 2 of the 20 mg Adderall a day and they wore off quick. Doctor had tried my son on this new medicine and worked for him. So I asked our doctor to switch me also, only draw back was that no one in our town carries it. I could either drive an hour to a Walgreens that carried or wait a week for the Walgreens in our town to get it in. Said they won't just order this medicine to keep on hand  until we have filled 4 prescriptions which I thought made no sense. Luckily our local CVS has it on hand and the $25 coupon our doctor gave us has been wonderful. With our insurance it would cost $89 but was able to get the first prescription FREE!!  And then each one after for $25.."


"This pill definitely keeps me focused."


"I have gallstones and nothing took my attacks away not naproxen, a heating pad, Tylenol 3. Nothing until I tried Percocet which is so effective for people who suffer from biliary colic and do not have insurance to get their gall bladder removed. Once, I didn't have a Percocet and was rushed to the ER and I was given Dilaudid which made me so high and took my pain away because I was high. Percocet is just right thanks Percocet I love you."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I've had several colonoscopies over the years and Suprep is the best because there's less liquid to get down.  I also had no side effects. Much simpler than previous routine which included three different kinds of laxatives and mixing a big bottle of Miralax into a big bottle of Gatorade.  Taste is ok, like salty grape juice.  I suggest using a straw if you don't like the taste.  I'd rate it a 10 except for the cost.  I appreciate the coupon they gave me along with the prescription."


"I started taking this medicine when I was 16.  I am 26 now.  Right now I take 100mgs.  I was an unhappy teenager and I can't say it did anything for me at that point in my life (but I was only taking 50mgs then).  I stayed on Zoloft all through college and only went off of it for about 6 months, at the urging of a boyfriend at the time.  Those months were bad.  I tried everything to feel better (exercise, meditation, different activities) but I always felt like there was blackness hanging over everything.  I couldn't function socially and became rather reclusive.  With the help of my therapist and psychiatrist, I went back on Zoloft and my depressive symptoms decreased dramatically.  I have been on Zoloft for 10 years now so it's just a part of my life.  I get sad sometimes, but when I get hopeless feelings I can process them more easily.  It's hard for me to imagine life without Zoloft, but I hope to someday regulate my depression with a therapist and go off of it.  That said, I don't really have any side-effects to speak of.  Sometimes I have a low sex drive, but its only at certain times of the month, like before my period.  However, having a diminished sex drive on antidepressants is easier than not having any drive whatsoever when you are off them. To me, taking Zoloft is almost like taking a vitamin. It's no big deal."


"An itchy scalp."


"I am taking Restavit to help with long term insomnia.  I am very sensitive to drowsy medicines and have got down to taking 1/8 of a tablet with excellent results.  Even if I do not feel sleepy when I go to bed once I close my eyes I easily drift off to sleep.  It also helps with my stress related anxiety throughout the day.  Will be looking at having it compounded to the amount I needed as smallest does available is 25mg which I cut down to eight pieces.  Would recommend to those waking up groggy trying to cut down the amount to the minimum needed to sleep."


"I'm a nurse and know all about package inserts explaining side effects but man they weren't kidding. I was started about 3 weeks ago by my doctor who said I needed to lose a bunch of weight. I expected some stomach upset but not like this. Now I understand why the slow titration to higher more effective dosing. I can't bear the side effects. I cannot work with stomach upset all day and need to rest at night. Back to diet and exercise for me. This is just not right."


"I'm taking Monodox and using Tretinoin. I've only been using both for a week now, but I can say I'm already seeing improvements.  I had initial breakouts which is normal and I used to get really nauseous and throw up from taking Monodox, BUT I guess I completely forgot that my dermatologist told me to take Monodox with food. Trust me, that makes a world of a difference. I'm really excited to see where my skin is going to be in a few weeks, because my acne is really clearing up and all that's left are the red spots. REMEMBER: take it with food"


"My daughter has been taking Accutane for 6 months now and her skin is FLAWLESS! She is so happy!  She has been complaining of back pain, but she is going to a chiropractor and getting adjusted regularly, which seems to help.  At first her lips were terribly chapped!  But I bought some really good chapstick and now she is fine.  She is tired, but she is also a teenager, so that may come in to play.  She would not wear tank tops last summer because her skin was so broke out.  Now I am planning my wedding and she is only looking at strapless dresses!  This has boosted her confidence and I am thankful she was able to take this medicine!"


"This medication is awesome!  It improved the quality of my life with NO side effects other than a temporary case of chapped lips."


"Terrible hallucinations!"


"I am 17 and I've been on this pill for about 10 days now and LOVE IT. Weighing on the smaller side with very miniscule breasts, this pill has helped me gain extra weight and has already helped my breasts grow. I was only a tad nauseous on the first day but I found my mood was overall happier and I have a great amount of energy. I am very happy with the results of this pill and how well it has worked for me. I was worried at first but once I had some food and got through the night, I realized that oral birth control is really a gift. If you were like me and worried sick over this pill then just look at all of the benefits that tiny pill can offer you and the security you gain. Thumbs up all the way."


"After 3 years on naprosyn 500 one a day I started to get irritable anxious finding fault all the time about stupid things. As soon as I stopped I was normal again .  I don't know what tablet to take now as I am very sensitive to a lot of drugs."


"Can't give a real good rate for this drug since I'm only taking it for the 2nd time today. It tastes bad, tongue numb for a few minutes after taking it. So far it is just making me tired and loopy and having some gas tonight. But then I have been very very tired for many months now and perhaps the extra sleep this allows will help me get back to normal again. I have had noises, shadows, and racing thoughts and flash backs to deal with that may have been due to anxiety etc.. Hope I don't have stomach upset in future as someone else mentioned that happening to them.  I will have to return and give a new rating after I've been on this a while longer."


"I smoked for 35 years. I was a pack and half a day smoker. I was on the patch and chewing the gum, I even tried e-cigs. Nothing was working for me. Waste of money. Then a friend of my husband's told him about a new pill called Chantix that he was taking to try to quit smoking. I asked my doctor for a script for Chantix. I set my quit date January 13, 2011. I have not had a cigarette since. I was not able to take a whole pill because it was to strong for me so I cut them in half to see if that would help. Still to strong so I cut the pill in thirds and that was the right amount. I did have to eat before taking the Chantix and I did have vivid dreams but nothing I couldn't handle. January 13, 2016 will be my five year anniversary. Go Chantix."


"Got diagnosed may last year after losing a third of my body weight. Had viral load in the millions and cd4 count of 90. I kinda suspected I might have hiv from the night sweats. So got diagnosed, and put on Atripla. I had visions of throwing up all the time and a life of misery.

So, I started taking this stuff, 1 a day as per docs recommendations. I chose 10pm as my time as it seemed the best for me. No side effects, no feeling sick, nothing. Within 6 months was undetectable, weight back on. Live in uk, so meds are free. There are no restrcitions, you can drink etc. Many times I've washed my pill down with a sip of wine.

I feel that I am a symbiotic lifeform. I like it, feel great,my grey hairs have gone ."


"I've been on Tanzeum for almost a year now. In that time I've had to use my daily insulin shots 3-4 times total. The first time I used it I had some nausea. But none after the first time. It has brought my daily blood sugar and A1C down for 350-400 and 9.7 to 85-100 and 6.1."


"My body had a very bad reaction to this. I only took it for two days and I began to experience severe side effects including: insomnia, extreme depression, anxiety, nausea, irritability and light abdominal pain. I felt like this pill made me into a different person. I switched to a different type of hormonal birth control pill immediately."


"Best antidepressant ever. Also great for insomnia, OCD, anxiety and allergies. Isn't addictive and doesn't cause withdrawal in my exp. Also the effectiveness doesn't decrease with continuous long-term usage."


"I am from israel and i have used phentermine in the past but the side effects were HORRIFIC.

anyway i was very excited to start saxenda but over here the price for it is so high.

i paid 350$ to get it, anyway its an amazing drug!

almost no side effects (besides nausea on the week i increase the dosage).

instead of increasing dosage once a week,

i increase the dosage once every month (starting from the 1.2).

that way i save some money AND prolong the time when my body will start to develop an immunity to the drug and lose its effectiveness.

anyway i feel VERY strong about this drug.

almost no hunger at all and i eat about 700-800 calories a day.

i have lost a bit over 50 pounds in 13 weeks! and it was so so easy! wow.

no hunger struggles!"


"I have had Implanon for 3 weeks. I had been on Nuvaring for 2 years before getting Implanon. Insertion was definitely scary because I am scared of needles. My arm had a big bruise for about a week and my arm was sore for about 2 weeks. It almost felt like I had pulled a muscle. I have had a really light period similar to my normal period since getting Implanon. I would suggest to anyone who is interested talk to your doctor and determine if it is right for you. "


"I began taking Belviq on October 17, 2014 and have been on it for 3 weeks now. I have currently lost 15.5 lbs in 3 weeks. I have had absolutely no negative symptoms and actually had to start halving the pill and only taking it in the morning, because taking it twice a day made me not able to eat anything at all. I still have 43 lbs to go for my goal weight. I am hoping to lose another 5 lbs in the next week. I am eating less, and what I am eating is healthy foods. I've almost gone on an Atkins diet because I've cut out all sugars and starches without even trying. I also am going to the gym 3 times a week and speed walking on a treadmill. I will begin going more frequently to the gym now, as I have shed a few pounds that has motivated me."


"Have been taking this for almost 2 years now. For me, it works great. Had some of the side effects initially - nausea, lack of appetite, headaches and loose stools. But all of those side effects are gone now. I have had almost NO PSA flares and my blood work is absolutely perfect. Everyone is different, but for me right now, and for the past 2 years, this drug has been fantastic."


"Doesn't control pain for long enough period of time. Decreases pain from 9 to 7 for 2  hours then pain starts to increase again. Also causes nausea and dry mouth."


"I started on Altace for blood pressure of 145/90. Brought my BP down to 130's and 80's. During this period (2yrs) I had a cough that progressively got worse, to the point everyone thought I was catching a cold. I would cough everyday. By the end of the second year when I would cough I would gag and cough up clear liquid. I spoke to the doctor and she said "Oh no, your cough is not from this." Well I re-read the pharmacy papers and it was stated that a possible side effect of this medicine is a cough. I called the doctor and told her what I read, she agreed to change my prescription, within a couple of days my cough was gone. So if you have a persistent cough (dry or wet) on any medicines for more than a month please investigate the side effects."


"Best ever I was going to give up on birth control pills until I tried this one amazing."


"I took Lo Loestrin Fe for 2 years and honestly loved it. I switched briefly to the generic version for a month, and it was freaking awful, so I switched back to Lo Lo right away.
Only issue I encountered on it was that I ovulated over the BC.. which resulted in extreme breast tenderness & growth (for about 2-3 weeks) and weight gain. When this first happened to me I really thought I was pregnant, after a test came out negative I went to my OBGYN and she explained that it was too low a hormone level to properly regulate my cycle. Hence the ovulation. So then I switched to generic and ended up just switching back again.
I finally stopped taking Lo Lo after the 2nd time I ovulated over the pills and got an IUD.
Overall though, great BC"


"This medicine saved my life!  All of a sudden at the age of 39 I was covered in hives on a daily basis for months.  Antihistamines and steroids didn't do the trick and I was miserable.  Within 2 months of being on this I am completely hive free.  I wouldn't be able to function without it.  Love it!"


"I went on this pill because my other pills made my breasts to tender. The pill was great when I started in March but then in July and August I have had bleeding for more then a week. At the beginning I never had any bleeding and it took away my period fully, now I bleed heavy for more then a week."


"I have been on Latuda for a little over a year now. It's been extremely helpful for both mania and depression. I had psychotic mixed episodes, which Lithium did not help. On Latuda, I feel stable and like myself. However, I have "mild" akathisia, meaning I don't twitch, but I feel horrible if I take it during the day. I take it at night before bed with Lorazepam as needed, (I am probably going to switch to a more regular sleep med soon) and that pretty much solved the problem. The only issue is that it is expensive, but thankfully I have insurance that covers it after my deductible."


"After trying over 5 medications (Lithium, welburtin, on, on,) I thought nothing would work and got into a really bad depressive episode not leaving house for months at time and thinking of just ending it all. Than finally heard of Abilify and it saved me. I am now up early, open blinds, smile, do things, laugh and im only on my second week. I am at 10 mg day and have No side effects, nothing but happiness. This medication saved my life, because after years of trying other non responsive medications I thought I couldnt live like that no more. Abilify is all i take but I heard you can add zoloft to it for a even better effect on depression and bipolar. I hope everyone find happiness and the sun shines for you.

peace and love"


"This product is a God send. It helps so much with my interstitial cystitis symptoms. But I have noticed that if I use it very frequently that my unine starts to smell really bad.  Which concerns me s bit."


"Very effective in controlling my blood sugars. I have had A1Cs 6.0 and lower over the last 3 years taking 1500mg/day. Recently company changed insurance and I no longer have perscription coverage, at a cost of $350/month I am looking for generic version now"


"I have a degenerated disc and arthritis in my back. At first the pain was intense and I couldn't sleep. My doctor prescribed Vicodin but that made me feel drunk and couldn't function. I take Ultram 50mgs every 4 hours. At first I took them only when I was in pain. But realized through articles that taking it when pain starts it's not as effective! I now sleep pretty good, before I couldn't sleep and I was like a zombie! Little side effects. After 4 hours I get a little air headed. Been on it about a month! Trying to determine if I as I have been taking it every 4hrs pain or not. I'm pleased that I have a lot less pain and can function!"


"I had such high hopes for this medication for my severe depression and anxiety. I was committed to try it for a full 4 weeks. I started on 10 mg and then went up to 15 mg. I never managed to get to the 20 mg due to overwhelming nausea, belching, excessive salivating, unbearable constipation and then the vomiting started. I didn't gain weight but that is because I couldn't eat. It did help with the depression but not the anxiety. Definitely not for me!"


"I have suffered from many ailments in the past few years one of which was sliding on black ice while working hitting my neck and back on a metal step to my bucket truck. The muscle spasms I get are just awful...muscles twisting and foot looks deformed when it happens. Soma is the only medication that gives any kind of relief...I take it sparingly as not to become dependent upon it. It does make you drowsy...but I would rather be somewhat drowsy than be in that horrible pain."


"The medicine has given my mother a new lease on life. After trying many medicines, Humira has given her better mobility and alot of less pain [she refers to it as discomfort or stiffness] .  Also, kudos to the company for recently my mother had trouble with the pharmacy and when she contacted the company they arranged for her to received it through a pharmacy in another town and delivered to her by UPS. They took care of everything for her. Thanks on her behalf."


"I had this before good experience.help lasted5 years the only problem I have is to get 3 injection that are very very painful. don't understand why they don't give a local before injection.
Then I was getting silvist injection I love that because I only get one injection.my insurance company refused to pay for it. they are ........!  I hope that one day they have to do this!. Sorry just my opinion. doctors need to take a stand against these evil cold insurance company who refused to treat the patent right instead of making them suffer .they aren't doctor's they know nothing about what I need .the people who run insurance companies have ice running thru their veins they are not human."


"I'm 18 years old to anyone who wants a teenagers perspective. I've been on this pill for 3 months now & I really like it. The first week of taking this pill I was a little nauseous. I have really bad chronic depression & extreme anxiety & this contraceptive doesn't effect my moods whatsoever. I did gain a little bit of weight but I have always been really small so weight gain didn't bother me. I've noticed a big increase in appetite. My acne has gone unphased. I've read that a lot of people have lost their sex drive while on this birth-control, but it is the exact opposite for me. Unfortunately I've noticed some vaginal dryness during sex which is terrible. But it's lessened my periods to two days each month. I strongly recommend!"


"I started using this 3 days ago for what I  have been told is eczema on my face. The first time I used it my face got itchy beyond belief. I was actually looking forward to a sensation other than being itchy all the time. The sensation of burning, stinging sounded good for a change. I guess it's too soon to really rate it, but so far my skin is smooth but it still itches."


"Plan B was ultimately worth the money because I didn't get pregnant, but the side effects were bad. I had extreme cramps, nausea, and I had basically a continued period for 2 months before I finally decided my body wouldn't fix itself. Once I got put on the pill my body evened back out."


"I always had acne around periods but after I had my son it got severe. So much so that it left scars from inflammation that would make one zit into a pea sized bump deep under my skin that was painful and caused anxiety, depression and so on. After seeing a Dermatoligist he prescribed a combo of 3 to combat it. The tri sprintec to regulate hormones, a light topical antibiotic lotion clyndomicin I think and a year of doxycycline antibiotics. It took time but after the antibiotics took care of the infection with this pill it seemed to prevent acne. My reason for thinking this is the only time it's gotten bad again is after running out and going a month without or an occasional pimple during the placebo week. Overall it helped a great deal..."


"While on Topamax, I lost my ability to think straight. I couldn't process things the same way. I couldn't even finish my sentences. I would start talking and would forget the words that came next. My friends and family would have to help me finish my sentences. After getting off the medicine, I could finally finish my thoughts again. However, I feel like I still cannot learn as easily as I did before I got on the medicine. I think it changed my brain processing capability. I have talked to a friend who had the exact same problem on this medicine. I would not recommend it unless you actually cannot live without it."


"I suffer from depression. This drug not only worked quickly, but didn't have any of the sexual side effects I was concerned about in other types of anti-depressants. It also helped concentration. I've heard horror stories in psychology literature and through friends about anti-depressants causing more depression than originally because of the substantial changes in personality. Wellbutrin did none of that for me, I would recommend it to anyone suffering from depression."


"This med is awesome! My a1c and all my other blood work now looks perfect. I have lost 43 pounds in 9 months. The med takes away all of your desire to drink sodas and eat sugary snacks. I found that I got lumps from the shot when I did it in my leg or arm, but not when I do it in my stomach. This is the healthiest I have felt in 5  years. Wish I had been put on this med sooner!"


"I started feeling better by the 2nd day. I feel a little funny but continued to take my  prescription. But on the night of the 4th day I  started to feel like my UTI was starting up again. On the 5th and last day of my prescription I have a burning sensation when a went to peed and my lower abdomen started to hurt again."


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


"I'm a healthy 26 yr old. I took Sronyx for about two or three months, which I had to stop due to the intense migraines it caused. I was then switched to Sprintec. I'm was on it for almost two years. I must say it was absolutely effective at preventing pregnancy. No scares. And even when I missed a day and had to double up (which only happened once or twice). For the first three months or more, I had no issues other than fatigue. Then the other side effects came. Acne, extremely dry skin, hair loss.  I experienced a significant amount of weight gain, which I was unable to lose, even though I run and work out regularly. And I got mood swings and depression to the point of suicidal thoughts! I thought I was going crazy. But everyone is diff."


"It worked very well on the pain, but the severe burning of the nose lasted about 5 minutes until I ran water up and around it."


"I'm at the end of my second dose of Femring after having both ovaries removed at 35.  When I first went on Femring .1 mg daily it was great. I had a couple day days after initial insertion that I felt edgy emotionally - but after day 4 that leveled off. Felt much better than oral estradiol. However, around day 60 my estrogen levels started to dive and by day 80 I was back into full surgical meno. When I inserted the second ring....same as before. An initial surge of estrodiol but this time the ring started to tank around day 35. I'm on day 85 of the second ring and my meno symptoms are unbearable. For me, this is not a 90 day med. Too bad -  for 1-2 months it's perfect. My insurance won't allow me to refill until day 90 - and $$$."


"Absolute worst birth control I've ever been on. Made me moody and have random crying spells, and made me breakout SO bad. I've never had a problem with acne but as soon as I was put on this, it was just pimple after pimple after pimple. I changed it as soon as I could. I would NOT recommend."


"I've been on this for almost a year and I really like it.  My old pills (Tried Ortho Tri, Nuvaring, etc. for around 5-10 yrs) lowered my sex drive and gave me other weird side effects.  For the first few months I had some of the basic side effects, but now they're mostly gone except I never get periods anymore.  I asked my doctor if that's normal, and she said it was fine."


"I am 20 years old and I had been on Tri Sprintec for about 5-6 months and never really thought about it giving me major side effects. I had previously been on Levora for 5 years with the purpose of getting rid of major cramps. After 5 years my cramps began to come back so I switched to this one without any precaution.
Long story short I ended up in the suicide ward because I was having major thoughts about suicide (which I NEVER have even thought of) along with major depression and my anxiety level increased drastically..  So be careful and change your pills if you need to."


""Wow"!! That pretty well sums it up. I have been an Ambien user for the past few years.  As much as I hate to admit it I found myself abusing the medication. Even worse yet, I was sleep walking & sleep cooking almost every night with huge holes in my memory. I asked my doctor for a sample of Lunesta yesterday. He gave me the 3mg right from the start. The nasty taste hit my mouth within the first 15 minutes of taking it. I woke up 2x during the night due to an alarm on my dryer, but was able to fall right back to sleep. I did wake up with a horrible headache. Not sure if it was from the Lunesta or not. I will try again tonight and see what happens. I to would give this medication a 10 if it were not fo the nasty taste."


"It's not true what they say about only taking it for a few weeks. I have been taking it for almost 2 years. I got off it for two months and I noticed I was hungrier. In fact I was so hungry I gained 7lbs those two months. Then I re-started the pill and lost the weight again. I lost a total of 90lbs and maintained them since starting the Tenuate and exercise. I eat the same foods but smaller portions and exercise 4-5 times a week. I am now slowly decreasing my strength but to be honest I'm afraid to be completely off it. Might be more of a mental thing. I never had any side effects and see my doctor every 3 months for a blood pressure check and every 6 months for blood work to make sure it hasn't affected my liver/kidneys. I would recommend this medication anytime."


"Experienced allergy symptoms from this (itchy eyes, sinus pain/running nose, etc.).  Also had what the doctor called an allergic reaction to the shot on my leg.  Started swelling up, and got bigger than the palm of my hand. Red, horrible looking, and it hurt to touch."


"I always thought I had "severe" acne at varying points in my life, with seemingly no remedy in sight. I just decided to go to a dermatologist. I was informed (which I already knew from seeing others in my life with much worse conditions) that my acne was "less severe" or "mild" in comparison from a doctor's perspective. All of you out there know this doesn't matter because if it's bad to you, then it's bad enough! I go on to explain how I've "tried it all" or listen to recommendations of others that have great skin, and I still find that nothing works. The dermatologist recommended Solodyn. I was weary of getting any potential "side effects" as anyone would, but I must say, it worked! Everyone responds diff, but you won't know until you try"


"I started taking 50mg of Toprol after being admitted to the hospital 6 days ago. I was told I had Mitral Valve Proplase and that I needed to take 50mg daily. It has helped in slowing my rapid heart beat down but the side effects have almost been unbearable. I have hardly slept, after taking the medicine I get short of breath and feel like I'm having an anxiety attack, and I take the medicine at bedtime. In the mornings when I wake for the first two to three hours I feel shaky, sweaty, nauseous, and extremely dizzy. My regular MD took me down to 25mg once daily and I still can't sleep and feel anxious. This is the first day taking 25mg so we'll see how I feel in the morning."


"I was experiencing knee pain and received a cortisone injection with fair results. Four weeks later I was offered and received  Monovisc. They told me not to expect improvement for 3-4 weeks. It's been six weeks. Since the day of the injection, my knee is worse. It is stiff, and gets stiffer if I sit for very long. I have to be careful about how I move it are it can have pain."


"I take this medication for bipolar. it is the only thing that has worked for me. i am so very thankful i came across this because it makes me normal and i can live my life with my husband like a normal person..."


"I started taking Femcon Fe when I was 18 and took it for 4 years. Within the first year, I gained 20 lbs that I could never lose. My weight would fluctuate by 10 pounds every month and around the time of my period I would have horrible bloating. It did make my periods very regular, short, and light and lessened the severity of my cramps. It also cleared up my skin. My doctor has just switched me to a birth control pill with a lower dose of estrogen after having a baby, to see if the weight gain issues go away."


"I have a lot of different types of pain, but the two constant pains I have are arthritis and tailbone pain. The best way I have found to describe it is that it's like sitting on a sharpened egg. For fourteen years . I am only pain free for about three hours every day. I take two Vicodin in the morning (my bedtime, as I work third shift). It takes about an hour to really hit. I take one when I wake up and four and one more when I go back to sleep for three hours at nine. With the two latter doses, my pain isn't completely gone, but the edge is dulled. I can deal with it. I have been taking Vicodin for eight years. If someone knows a physician who would be willing to remove my tailbone, it would probably cut my use in half."


"I miss this drug more than words can describe.  I was on it for about 3 years, and for those years, I was completely "normal." When I was told that this drug was going to be taken off the market, I was very confused.  I was also very confused about the claims that were made, and are still made about this drug.  I'm a man, and this drug was the best thing to happen for my condition.  I also wasn't the only man on this drug either.  Almost everyone who has severe IBS, male or female, that took this drug felt extreme relief with little to no side effects.  Now this drug isn't even being considered to come back, let alone for males. What really happened to this drug?"


"I had this inserted right about a year ago. I moved from the depo shot to the iud, i have also tried the pill in the past. The shot and the pill both gave me really out of control mood swings, so I thought this would be better. I will say that it is very effective, I have not had a period since I have been on it and have had no pregnancies. The major drawback for me is the mood swings and depression. The first six months were okay, nothing too noticeable. After that mood swings/depression/anger/anxiety hit me like a freight train. As for the birth control itself I would give it a 10/10 in effectiveness and ease of use. I'm getting mine removed because I can't deal with the emotional side effects anymore."


"I have taken Ambien for about 7 years with no side effects.  "


"I'd been taking Pristiq, but it killed my libido.  Since taking Viibryd, my depression is gone and my libido has returned to its normal self.  "


"I am taking 50 mg each night before bed. I have been on it for 8 days. Trying to get off Ativan. I fall asleep very fast but still wake up 2 or 3 times. BUT, when I do wake up I am noticing I do not have the racing thoughts as before. And I fall back to sleep in a few minutes. So far the only side effect is I am sleepy the next day. The stuffy nose and dry mouth are better than at first."


"I have been taking it for several years.  There was a time about a year ago when all the Pharmacies could not get any and I went about a month without.  Being a Service Advisor, I deal with a lot of numbers (Vin, License Plates, etc.). After a few days without, I started reversing a lot of the numbers.  I would see the correct order but would say out loud or write down a reversed version. I had to go slower and double check what I had written.  A positive side effect is it gets me off the couch on the day(s) I have off and motivates me to get stuff done around the house that needs to be done. It kept me up at night at first, but after awhile, I learned not to take it too late in the day. I would recommend it to anyone who has ADHD. "


"Have used once or twice a year for last 10 years and start to have relief within 24 hours with symptoms usually gone by day three.  I take two a day after first tinge of pain (you know what I am talking about) and continue for one week minimum or two days more than symptoms persist.  Makes me a little fatigued and I start to get diarrhea after about 4 days but it is worth it."


"I had terrible insomnia on vybrid. Awful. Whole nights spent wired. It made me so anxious that I felt like I was going to jump out of my skin. Brain zaps, headaches, etc. I tried for several weeks but the sysmptoms got worse, not better. Did not work for me at all."


"Have been taking Diovan 160mg twice daily along with hydrochlorothiazide 25mg for 2 years. Developed a shortness of breath which they told me was asthma problem that I never had before. I insisted it was the medication and was told it wasn't because it worked great for my blood pressure.  Had 2 near death experiences from "asthma attacks". They stopped the Diovan and hydrochlorothiazide and I haven't had any problems with breathing.  I can be very active without losing my breath now.  Now trying to find something else that works as good on my blood pressure."


"This was amazing - worked just as effectively as roaccutance for me (which I had been on twice) however it stopped working after two years. I must have built up a tolerance to it. I genuinely thought I'd be able to use this for life. I'm hoping to give it a try again in 6 months"


"Works well"


"I had a $1,000 dollar a month heroin habit. 3 days into withdrawal I went to a Methadone clinic. Was on Methadone, 150 mg's for 6 months before I started a 5 month taper to jump to Subutex. While Methadone kept me clean, it really slowed me down, I just kept going up & up in mg's. The taper off Methadone was brutal. Was induced onto Sub last October. The first 3 weeks on 16 mg's of Subs I had a lot of speedy side FX, feeling really wired, insomnia, I was nervous it wouldn't go away bc I *hate* being anxious, feeling fast. Third week in the side FX just stopped. I could sleep, I was normal. I'm on 24 mg's Sub, I had a big H habit, I feel 100% normal. I do not crave junk. It saved my life. Been off H since Dec 2014. I love life! Miracle med!%u2661"


"So I Been On The Nexplanon For 9 Months And Let Me Just Say I Hate It Because Of The Forever Bleeding It's Depressing Ugh!.But.....Then I Love It Because I Won't Get Pregnant "


"I am so hopeful about this medication. Within 24 hours, I could tell a world of difference in my outlook (I have suffered with major depression most of my life). I have been on Pristiq 2 weeks now. I did miss a dose 2 days ago and could tell the difference in my focus, concentration and mood (yesterday and today), so I will definitely be faithful about taking it from now on.

I am feeling the overwhelming tiredness after an initial burst of energy when I first started taking it. I hope that will get better. And I do think it has helped me focus on other things besides food."

"I started taking Drixoral in 1963 when it was in prescription form and then went to over the counter and now is behind the pharmacist counter. I have only taken 1 tablet a day to control my symptoms for all these years with no problems - congestion, itchy eyes, sneezing, drainage, etc.  Now it has been removed from the shelves and I have heard they will not be making it any longer and also that they are moving and will make it again in the future. Nothing I have tried works as well."


"After being diagnosed with CML about 4 years ago. I began taking Gleevec 400 daily. First couple months were most difficult. I personally was nauseous and had diarrhea.  Things seemed to settle down. I now have swelling in the face, especially in the eye area, in turn creates migraines which now are controlled by medicines. I also still have the occasional diarrhea bouts. I am thankful for Gleevec as my BCR able has been less than 01% pretty much Full Remission. "


"I was deathly afraid of public speaking to the point that I would almost throw up while I was in front of a group. I would find out about a presentation in college and think about it every day for the next few months, getting sick at the thought. I found this drug and it changed the game. I started using it in graduate school and I had classmates come up to me after and ask me how I learned to speak so well. I takes away the fear, the nausea, the trembling, the shaky voice and just allows you to think about what you are presenting rather than what everyone else is thinking about you. This is a MIRACLE drug and I endorse it 100%"


"A year ago I got treated for thrush. I had blood tests, swabs etc. A few months after I then started having symptoms of UTI. Again I went to the doctors and got tests done to rule out STD's. Thankfully it all came back negative. It has now been a year and I thought I was having recurrent thrush. I pushed for my 3rd lot of tests as I felt something wasn't right, (pain during intercourse and bleeding after). I have now finally been diagnosed with BV - medication 3 tabs a day for 7 days plus probiotics & Nilstat cream. It's day 2 and already I've noticed a HUGE improvement. No SE accept for slight bloating and fatigue. Fingers crossed I won't have to deal with these horrid symptoms again."


"Stelara has lowered all the inflammatory  markers in my bloods to within a normal range. This however doesn't repair damage already done. I am however suffering much less of burning in the joints. The aching is still pretty much the same. I was previously on Embrel and have been on Stelara for only two months so a way to go yet. SO far so good."


"Irritating and burns on a very high level."


"I was on 250mg 3x a day for 10 days. It cured my Giardia, but made me very nauseous. My doctor had to give me antinausea medication (Zofran), just so I could keep the pill down. I also experienced a bad metal taste in my mouth for the duration of the treatment."


"I had lumbar decompression surgery in July for a herniated disk (L4,L5) and spinal stenosis.  A week after the surgery, the nerve in my left leg and foot "woke" up and the pain was severe.  My left foot was constantly burning, with feelings of electric shock 24 hours a day. I couldn't wear my shoe and I was very depressed by the pain - I couldn't walk  barely without pain.  My surgeon put me on Lyrica and within a week, almost all of the burning disappeared.  I get a random "shock" in my toes, a spasm in my arch and part of my foot is still numb, but I can function again.  The pain is manageable and minor.  I'm told it will heal but will take months. I've had some blurred vision, but that's better than the pain.  Lyrica was a life saver."


"Had preovarian failure at 30. Started on vivell dot and prometrium at age 38. Am now 60 and I will never come off. No side effects. I also added testosterone supplement injection and I am a new person. All this helps with mental stability and weight control and energy."


"I have had PTSD since age 9. I am a severe abuse and torture survivor of 14 years of daily abuse and torture. I tried many medications but this one for me is a life saver. I've had so many anxiety attacks (like heart attacks but not fatal) that my heart is covered in scar tissue. Quetiapine  (Seroquil), has stopped a lot of my issues and made me calmer. It's extending my life.  I'm thankful for that."


"After spending a co-pay of $65 on this medicine, I couldn't even keep 1 pill down! Soooo disappointed because I felt awful from the flu and I spent so much money on this medicine, yet it would instantly cause me to feel nauseous eventually leading to vomiting."


"I have a child on Seroquel.  We've tried Abilify, Risperdal, and Geodon to no avail.  Seroquel seems to keep her psychotic symptoms at a whisper instead of shouting in her head.  My husband has also used Seroquel for his schizoaffective disorder.  He switched to Risperdal because the Seroquel was sedating when ingesting over 50mg and he needed doses during the day.

Our daughter is on an average of 500mg a day with no sedating effects whatsoever and we're wondering if she just does not do well on this class of drug since 600mg a day is the highest she can safely go for her age.  Nothing seems to keep her psychotic symptoms completely in check, particularly her paranoia."


"Each time my dose was increased I would get light-headed
for a couple of days but it was not a serious issue for me."


"Losartan is controlling my blood pressure very well but the heartburn that comes with it is going to force me into something else."


"I haven't use the bathroom like I supposed to in the last month. I have taken Fleet and other laxatives but it just did not work. I felt so bloated and I never stopped eating. Finally I couldn't take it no more so I went the doctor and she prescribed me something to take. The medicine that she prescribed for me wasn't covered by my insurance so I went to Walmart and saw that ClearLax had almost the same ingredients. I bought me some apple juice and mixed it together. About an hour later I really used the bathroom and I feel great. If it works for me, it is some good stuff and I am serious."


"I am having severe jaw pain, almost unbearable.   It is one of the most horrible experiences I have ever gone through.   Will not take this drug again.   What is strange is that I didn't have a problem until after the second shot.  Since then have not only teeth pain but sick with sore throat and cold.  Also bad digestive problems."


"I took this pill 12 hours after sex which was during my ovulation window, this pill did not work for me I am pregnant"


"This refers to the Mylan estradiol twice weekly patches.  After 16 comfortable years using Vivelle Dot estradiol patches, I was supplied by Express Scripts with the new, supposedly "generic" Mylan estradiol transdermal dot patches in the same strength, 0.025 mg.  During the 4 1/2 weeks I used the Mylan product, I developed hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog and urinary tract infections.  I could not understand what was wrong until I recalled that my symptoms began when I started the Mylan product.  I found out that Vivelle Dots are still under patent.  Mylan patented its own competing transdermal patch in order not to infringe the Novertis patent.  It is NOT the same product.  A return to Vivelle Dots solved my problem."


"Love this medicine. Changed my life."


"I started reading these reviews and panicking because I took FOUR pills and was in horrible pain. The only way to ease it was by puking up a clear liquid that burned my throat like hell. I do NOT recommend this brand!"


"After having awful side effects from oral contraceptive pills, and after trying Ortho Cyclen again as part of my IVF protocol (It made me so dizzy and nauseous I woke up in the middle of the night vomiting), my reproductive endocrinologist switched me to the Ortho Evra patch. What a difference! None of the horrible side effects, and I can eat and keep it down! YAY!"


"I've been on this birth control for almost the full first pack now, I'm on the last pills in which I should get my period. It's been 3 pills and I haven't started it yet, I haven't had spotting, and I have all the symptoms of a period but the blood! Makes me nervous that maybe I have a blood clot or maybe it's made me infertile, and it makes me worry that I'm just going to get a horrible period in a week or two unexpectedly. I don't believe I'm pregnant, and this extended pill is way better with side effects than my one month pill, tri sprintec, was. I have a sex drive back and I am not as depressed. Obviously right now I'm very moody and nervous but that's not the normal."


"I have been on generic lamictal for nearly 2 months, on 300 mg for 1 week so far. I feel great when I wake up, depressed late am and afternoon, then decent in the evenings. Has anyone else had this with lamictal? My hope is that a higher dosage will do the trick. Thanks for any responses!"


"I started taking this medication out of desperation. I was taking 50 pills a day: a mix of norco, methadone and tramadol. After multiple emergency room trips and close calls..I knew I had to do something quick or I wouldn't live to see my 6 year old son grow up. I was referred to Suboxone doctor. After a few different doctors (most were not educated enough on addiction) I found a decent one. I started on 12mg a day and I have now made it off Suboxone in almost exactly 1 years time. I did experience withdrawels while I tapered down but it was bearable. I was able to save my business, become a better father and most of all re-learn who I am and discover my purpose. I recommend this to anyone suffering from Opiate addiction."


"This shot was great the first month. The second and third month I bled the entire time. I'm on day 41 of continuous bleeding."


"I only took Topamax 25mg 2x daily for 10 days before I could no longer take the side effects. I have suffered from almost daily migraines since I was 6 years old and have always resorted to OTC medicines to "attempt" to ease the pain. I have taken Imitrex to combat the pain and even resorted to Valium to knock myself out and sleep through it. When I heard about Topamax I was elated and it really does work at preventing migraines. However, within a few days I developed some side effects ranging from annoying to considering whether I should go to the ER: burning/stinging sensation when drinking soda, tingling feet, nausea, weight loss, memory loss, irregular heartbeat and passing out. I can't function like that. "


"I have been on Ortho Tricyclen Lo for 6 months and my doctor switched  me to Tri Lo Sprintec due to insurance purpose,( which is the generic version)(cheaper). I have no serious side affects with Ortho Tri… I normally don’t get bad side effects from any medicine. But after a month and a half of  taking Tri Lo Sprintec..I've noticed depression,  fatigue, crazy mood swings like NEVER BEFORE, dry mouth, decreased in sex drive, nausea, sore breasts.. I do not recommend this birth control to ANYONE! I have never experienced such sever side affects!!!"


"This is the best. I've tried it and I have been on almost all the others."


"I have had Parkinson's for 10 years. Six months ago, I was prescribed Seroquel 1/2 25mg at bedtime to "clean up my sleep -anxiety". Works fine except I began wetting the bed after being asleep for 5 - 6 hours. The Seroquel makes me feel better but I have to solve the bed wetting problem."


"The first two times I ever got a cold sore I used over the counter Walgreens/CVS/Campho-phenique products and my cold sore lasted for 2 weeks. This most recent time, I noticed the red tingly bump on Saturday morning, rushed out to the store and decided to try Abreva.  I began application immediately and as directed.  By Saturday evening I was blistered. I kept using Abreva and was taking L-lysine vitamins every day. It is now day 5 and the blister is gone, already scabbed and fallen off, and now just a somewhat minor red area where the skin is still healing.  This combo of Abreva and L-lysine vitamins saved my life! Would definitely recommend Abreva and will use again if needed."


"Fixed up my hemorrhoids well."


"Prozac was the first antidepressant I was ever put on and it never really helped me. I couldn't eat normally for several weeks, kept throwing up and while waiting for the side effects to go away my doctor gave me a higher dose and my anxiety seemed to get even worse. About a month in, my suicidal thoughts got worse and I just got reckless with my life because I felt like nothing mattered. After an intervention with my friends I decided to just stop taking it cold turkey, and I really didn't experience that bad of withdrawal effects, I was just glad I wasn't taking it anymore. I would say it made me the most suicidal I'd been in a long time and while it may work wonders for some people it just did not work with me."


"I've had eczema for years and this medicine is AMAZING! It's definitely worth every penny you pay for it!!"


"Really good for as-needed, I take it less than once a week because my antidepressant works well. For me, 0.5mg in the early afternoon really takes the edge off, doesn't knock me out or leave me stoned, and lets me sleep that night. Rated a 9/10 because I have sexual side-effects for a few days afterwards, really not a big deal because the benefits outweigh. Only take this medicine as-needed, tolerance builds fast so a script of 30 should theoretically last 6 months. Be safe, and above all, communicate with your doctor. Benzos can be very useful if used properly."


"I am on my second bout of pneumonia. The constant coughing is painful.  I bought this drug otc, and it is helping, a lot. I feel a bit dizzy but I will take dizzy over that constant hacking cough any day.  I got this because it only has the "mucus" drug, without the extra junk in Musinex I don't need.  The best part? For 15 tablets, cost only 88 cents!"


"I was diagnosed bipolar 2 about 3 years ago.  I am a 36 yr old female. I was originally given topamax 50mgs at night with seroquel 50mgs, as well as a variety of antidepressants and klonopin for anxiety.  That worked great for awhile until it didn't and I weened myself off everything. DON'T DO THAT!!
I had a horrible hypomanic episode followed by a 4 month depressive crash.  I'm now on Latuda, Celexa, Klonopin, and my good buddy Topamax.
I have had no serious side effects from Topamax.  A little hair loss (more like extra hair in the brush) but it's only noticeable to me.  Not bad.  No word loss, no memory problems.  I'm in grad school with a near 4.0 GPA.  It helps me maintain my weight so the other meds don't affect me."


"I'm currently taking it now as I'm allergic to penicillin. I'm on my 3rd day. I've been getting really painful stomach cramps, hot sweats and very loose stools. It's making me feel really ill. And it hasn't made my mouth feel any better at all. I'm going to give it one more day then I'm going to stop taking it because it's obviously not for me."


"I went on this birth  control about 2 years ago and gradually gained about 20 pounds over the span of 4-6 months.  No matter what I did, I could not lose it.  My appetite had increased a lot and despite my efforts at the gym, I could not manage to get below 150 pounds.  I went off it a month ago and I have already lost 8 pounds and my appetite has gone back to normal.

I never had my period at all on this pill and I never experienced mood swings due to this pill.  It reduced my breakouts, and it completely got rid of my cramping. I would not go on this pill again because of the weight gain but aside from that, it did what it was supposed to do. :)"


"After using Viagra 50mg successfully for 8 years I gave the everyday 10mg Cialis a try.  During the free 30 day trial it was great.  But since then (I'm paying for it now) the results have been eratic. It's good for a week or two, and then nothing!  Very frustrating (and expensive) to have to take Viagra as well.  I'm going back to Viagra even though it is less convenient."


"I took melatonin for a good nights sleep and instead was up all night jumping out of my sleep. It seemed to make me nervous and have rapid heart beat. I'm done taking this."


"I was on this birth control for month two when I started noticing side effects. People say they never get a period? I got mine THREE times in the span of a month and a half. These were three FULL seven day periods with less than a week break in between. I became insanely depressed and had anxiety I could not handle. I spent every day crying because my emotions were out of control. I contemplated suicide many times but never tried. It took MONTHS to get back to some type of normal and even now, a year and a few months later, I still get AWFUL anxiety during my period and when I'm ovulating. Prior to the Depo Provera I never had depression or anxiety. This was my first time and I pray that this will be my last.
Wouldn't wish it on an enemy."


"I am so so fed up. I've been having symptoms now for a week, I took one pill last Saturday (it's now Friday) and by Weds there was minor improvement so I took another one (at great expense) on Weds. I'm still itching like mad. I can't use the cream as I am allergic to it.  I have had this problem before.  I can't get to the docs as I work many miles away from my surgery. I used the pessaries last time and that didn't work either.  Breaking my bank ... Can it really take a week to work?"


"I have had the flu twice now in the last 9 years. Was given Tamiflu each time. Both times I was feeling much better by day 3."


"I've had the pleasure of being on sertraline 100mg for the last 8 years and I honestly believe I wouldn't be in this world if I wasn't. Every now and again I get tight jaw muscles or the odd day of nausea and every once in a  while, when I'm feeling really sorry for myself, I can eek out a tear and have minor meltdown. But nothing like before. This drug has saved me."


"I just want to say Zoloft is awesome. I have been a very happy person now, 16 yo male."


"This is a miracle product. I am zit free now. Try it, you will love it after a few weeks I am completely clear. A small amount of the product is used and tube lasts me about 2 months. Again, a miracle in a bottle."


"I started a month ago at 184lbs. I am now at four times a day dosage. Side effects have been minimal. The worst has been insomnia. Not full on, I still get sleep, but it is not usually a good night's rest. Dry mouth in the beginning, which forced me to drink more water (a good thing). That side effect is gone. For the first 2 weeks, I really did not notice any difference and was not losing weight. After 4 weeks I weighed myself again and I was down to 173. So 11lbs. in one month with minimal exercise but a big change in diet. I also tried this medication because I heard it helped to stop smoking. Unfortunately, my nicotine habit has not been effected. I am continuing with Contrave and hope it continues to work. Very pleased right now."


"I'm not sure what I have. But, neither do seventeen doctors I've seen in the last twelve years. This sounds more like what may be wrong. I have been on Gabapentin for over four years. I take 800 mgs up to 8 times a day along with 800 mgs of ibuprofen. So far, no side effects. But, no relief from pain. I had a bone spur removed from my inner spine. Praying that would help.  No. Physical Therapy hasn't helped. I'm still looking for answers. But, this spondylolisthesis, might be something to share."


"Extreme dry mouth, frequent urination, continued thirst"


"I have been on letrozole for 5 months. I experience pretty strong joint pain in hands, fingers and feet especially upon rising in the morning. I look like Walter Brennan going to the bathroom. I am 54 and previously felt like 25, now I often feel 85. Have found something great to prevent weight gain and helps with the energy issue. Still working on vaginal dryness and libido. Have found an anti-inflammatory diet improves pain, energy and mental clarity.  "


"Okay Ladies! DO NOT GET THIS SHOT! I was 15 when i first got the shot. I was on it for a yr. And now i have been trying to conceive for 9 years and NO LUCK i am now 25 years old and still i have 0 period! I want to have a baby so badly and i cannot due to the fact i jacked up my hormones with this shot. But it IS very effective at preventing pregnancy. But if you plan on having children DONT GET THIS SHOT!!!"


"I have been taking 9mg of Ridaura daily ever since Solganol had become unavailable. I had a complete remission of my rheumatoid arthritis with Solganol and continue to do so with Ridaura. I will not discontinue using Ridaura unless it causes any side effects that are harmful to my health. My understanding is if one has a remission on gold do not stop treatment because one will lose that remission even if gold treatment is resumed. I am 64 years old, I started on Soganol in my very early 30s."


"Positives: Don't need to remember, doesn't hurt my arm, haven't gotten pregnant.
Negatives: I have been bleeding very heavily every day for 4 months straight.
Overall, because of the bleeding, I have not had a pleasant experience and hope to get it removed asap. Hopefully an IUD will be better."


"I started Jolessa in October 2013 right when my period started at the beginning of the month. Right away I was sick to my stomach several days & My periods normally last the full 7 days, but on this pill it never stopped. It went to a light period and gradually throughout the 3 months got heavier until I started the white pills-the period week, at the end of December. Once I started the new pack January 1st. The bleeding finally stopped until Febuary 1st, started the second month of pills and right away started bleeding again. It is now Febuary 12 & I went to the doctor yesterday she put me on a different birth control Low-Ogestrel 28 and we're hoping this stops my bleeding and works better for me."


"I have had the Mirena for over four years now its due to come out August 2013 and I have had a lot of downs than I do up's from it. I have had longer periods actually, they have lasted up to 14 days I have experience some bloating not much though and my sex drive is low. The most irritating thing would be my pelvic pains I have on and off from it. The one good thing I can say about it is very simply procedure and once in you don't have to worry about taking a pill every day."


"I was diagnosed with fobromyalgia in 1997, but wasn't prescribed lyrica until 2007. What a difference. Until lyrica I was in bed and couldn't do anything!!I was vomiting every day and had to be hospitalized several times and had lost several pounds. Now I'm back to work full time which i'd never thought i'd be able to do again. Doing more than simple tasks is a joy, and being able to play with my grand kids is more enjoyable than I can say. I do have to say I have to take pain medicines and muscle relaxers and had a pain pump placed inside my stomach, but with everything I'm almost back to normal. The only negative is the weight gain, but i'll take that. My husband said I needed it anyway. But I can't tell you how happy I am with the lyrica."


"Initially medication was very helpful, but the longer I'm on it the less it helps. Now experiencing more day time sleepiness and I'm not able to stay asleep at night. Some nights it seems to help a lot, and then other nights nothing it doesn't seem to help at all. Getting harder and harder to rest and feel rested. Going to my doctor within the next 2 weeks to discuss different medication. RLS is very frustrating."


"My boyfriend and I had an accident where the condom slipped last week on Wednesday, May 15. Within the first hour, we went to a pharmacy and I took Plan B One Step. I was nervous because my period didn't come on Saturday, like it was supposed to. Keep in mind that I also recently went off of birth control so I could switch brands, so my period would have been erratic anyway. Still, as you can imagine, I lived the next days in panic. But the package on the box says to wait up to one week after your expected period. It has been nine days since I've taken the pill, but sure enough, this morning, Friday, May 24, I woke up with terrible cramps and lots of bleeding. I've never been so happy to get my period!"


"Only been on it a week, but a miracle so far!

I've suffered from IC for years had all the tests etc, a urologist recommended this to me 5 yrs. ago... I refused on the basis that it was an anti depressant, modified my diet  and went into remission with only the odd flare.

6 months ago, I had another baby and a second C Section, this resulted in a 5 month long 'twinge period' with 4 excruciating flare ups. I was in the midst of a agonising flare up when I gave in and took 10mg of Amitriptyline! Next day still had twinges but no pain. The 2nd no twinges, no pain, just some urgency. 3rd feeling totally normal!! It's brilliant!! Still feeling normal after a whole week!!

No side effects as yet, but not helping me sleep like I thought it would!"


"I took 2 pills around 11am and now I am experiencing severe cramping , I just vomited as well worst feeling ever.. I only had one BM so far but didn't expect I was going to feel this way ... Never trying this stuff again big mistake smh"


"This medication for the price worked the best. I was using this along with Topamax as a daily preventative and also started receiving botox injections.  I found that after a few months between the botox, the Topamax and the Imitrex, I was able to use less and less each month."


"Ive been taking this for a month. Ive found that some days it works well, I manage to cut down/out on certain foods. Its my brain that needs to adjust, there are times when I pick at naughty food in the evenings which causes diahorrea. I'm still learning as I've been very over weight since a child. No extreme reaction to it though, so onward and upwards as the weight is coming off slowly :)"


"This product works wonders. Had unprotected sex after I had missed a few of my birth control pills. My period arrived at its usual time of the month, and it was not a heavier or lighter flow than usual...just normal. I did experience some bad pains and nausea in my stomach for about 6 hours after taking the pill. I also threw up two days later out of no where. Other than that, it did what it's supposed to do."


"Was just rx'd these for bronchitis with a dry, hacking cough that just starting to break up.   I am barely coughing other than to clear throat now and cough up stuff.  The continuous hack is gone!  Great for daytime use to avoid cough syrup with codeine."


"Prescribed for nerve pain following shingles after crippling left hand side pain that did not respond to standard analgesia.
two unexpected beneficial side effects have occurred.
My long term and almost permanent anxiety ( we are talking 35 years   ) has been greatly reduced.
The problem that I had following a transient ischamic attack some five years prior where my bodies idea of the spacial position of my left leg via external stimulus did not agree with my visual perception and viewing my leg caused a strange spacial readjustment where the leg shifted four inches to the left but in reality stayed still. My visual acuity also improved as if everything was lit by stage lighting."


"I started Zoloft 3 weeks ago for panic attacks but I am having a hard time with the side effects. I feel like it has made my anxiety even worse but I am going to continue taking it until I get over the initial starting side effects."


"I'm on week 1 5mg. It gave my life back.

On day 7 my anxiety is like non existence.

Giving it a 9 since I might not have reached the therapeutic level yet."


"My fever went down within a few hours and I was feeling better the next day, but weak.  After finishing the last dose of 5 days, I became extremely nauseous and my abdomen hurt so badly, I didn't think I would survive.  I didn't vomit, but stomach pain was excruciating.  It has lasted over 24 hours, so far and I can't find any advice regarding what to do about the pain."


"Still hard after a few consecutive daily doses"


"I switched from Zyprexa to Latuda about 2 months ago. At first, I was having a little bit of trouble staying asleep. Now, I feel much more energized when I wake up. It keeps symptoms at bay. I was also able to lose almost 50 pounds (through diet and exercise). It is possible to lose weight on this drug as you are not constantly thinking about food and feeling sluggish. Definitely recommend for those looking for an alternative."


"I've suffered from severe anxiety and panic disorder since I was very young. Through the years I've taken many different medications prescribed by my physicians and have seen little relief. Those that have helped don't last very long and then the symptoms return. I've wish I didn't require any medication, however Clonazepam is the only one that provides the relief I need when life gets difficult."


"Hi to everyone panicking right now- take a deep breath because guess what..this pill works!! Miracle pill- thank god it exists for accidents like we had last Sunday. It is now an exact week after I took plan b- he did ejaculate inside of me- haven't taken my birth control regularly because I keep forgetting so we of course needed the pill for backup. Went to pharmacy right after it happened- pricey pill but well worth it compared to having a child. Zero side effects- saw way too many horror stories and ladies that's because people share their bad stories more than the success stories so I'm here to tell you to relax and let it work on your body. Stressing will possibly delay your period as well. Don't worry!"


"I started taking phentermine the second week of March, I weighed 196lbs, and am 5ft7. In a month I have lost 24 pounds, I weighed 172lbs this morning. I have never felt so good in my life. I walk about 3 miles a day, and only drink diet soda, I don't eat very much. I usually eat celery, yogurt, and veggies. I do get a lot of headaches, but to me it is worth it. This pill has motivated me to set goals for myself and to get in shape, like I said I feel great about myself now. The boyfriend is so jealous, because I am shrinking away. I take my pill about 8am, the earlier the better or else you will never go to bed. If you are looking for fast weight loss take it, but you also need to exercise and learn to eat right."


"Wow  this Pill is like a second opportunity after your stuff up !! So I Had sex on February 4 around 9:45am , he finished inside me & I flipped out I was a hot mess , I got the emergency contraceptive like an hour an half later , best take b4 72 hours the earlier the better . So I'm not going to tell you not to be nervous ok , shit happens .  I was nervous very emotional . I Didn't know when we're my ovulation days I don't keep track . Made me even more nervous. I prayed and just relaxed , less stress the better . For the first week I just got minor cramps , second day after I took it I was very nauseous. Almost hitting the second week I was breaking out and my cramps were more noticeable . Bam exactly a day b4 the second week  ! PERIOD !"


"I have been taking Phentermine since 09/18/08 at 191 pounds.  Honestly, I haven't weighed in yet, but I feel terrific.  My energy level is way high. I'm a 40 year old college professor, and have been used to taking naps before working at night (I would always be grumpy if I missed my naps). Since I'm now on phentermine, I am a more positive person, alert, super-alert. I hate washing dishes, pots, and now I have so much energy and willingness to be more in the kitchen and cleaning.  I sit with my son to help him with his homework. Now I find time to do stuff instead of "relaxing" or "recharging" my batteries in my bed.  This pill is amazing.  It has changed my lifestyle so far.  I do have some difficulty sleeping and dry mouth, but it's great."


"Works great for weight loss but I stall after three months as my body gets used to it. Doc gives me lorcaserin during off month to kill my appetite then alternate back to phentermine seems to make it work again. Lost 60lbs but unfortunately will need surgery to get excess skin off mainly in belly area."


"I have been really depressed. I have been having trouble sleeping for years. My old doctor would not give me anything for sleep told me too try over the counter stuff like melatonin etc nothing worked. As I'm an alcoholic it is said that I have a penchant for addiction. This past June 2017 I have been clean for 32 years! I've been seeing my current doctor for 4 years now. I never really pushed the issue with him till yesterday told him about my deep depression and with my RLS I can't sleep at all - I really laid it on the line. He gave a script for trazodone said take 25 mg only comes in 50mg so split it in half took it at 10pm was asleep in 10 or 15 mins slept like a log have to take it earlier was really groggy will cut it down to 12.5 stuff is great for me best sleep I've had in ages"


"I love this birth control. I had lots of problems in the past but this one works for me. I can successfully skip periods without spotting. Miss the pill by an hour or so without spotting. It did take about 3 months for it all to level out for me. No acne. Breasts got a little bigger. I don't get cramps very often at all and I haven't noticed a change in my sex drive. Everyone's body is different but I think it's worth trying for at least 3 months before you decide."


"I tried taking Septra, and by the second day I was vomiting all day long. Couldn't take it long enough to cure the bladder infection and because of changing antibiotics partway through, ended up in a trip to the hospital with a kidney infection."


"I love this birth control because it's very convenient with me. I'm  always busy, to busy taking care of my five month old I would end up forgetting to take pills...which is how we ended up with a baby. It is very effective. We have unprotected sex everytime we have sex (he cums in me) and I haven't gotten pregnant at all which is wonderful because  another kid would end up driving me up the wall. Haha. I also don't get my period anymore which I like because  I used to spend so much money on tampons that I'd have no money for anything else. Heavy bleeder over here. Now the only issues I'm having is my acne is extremely bad and it's never been bad at all for me until I got the implant also I get lots of vaginal discharge now."


"I got this shot about 2 and a half months ago. I have not stopped bleeding/ spotting from the first day i got it, not even for a day. Im a surgeon's first nurse, so im on my feet all day, and every now and again i get cramps along with it. My Dr did tell me that the irregularities would be stopping after another dose or 2, which mean i would have to wait about 3- 6 months to some see dry panties. NO."


"Imitrex injection is sometimes the only thing that will stop the headache.  Even when on Verapamil I can get head bangers that blow through, when this happens Imitrex can be the added push."


"Went to the Dr with sore throat and chills ,the night before I tossed and turned with pain and sweats...went to the er got a dose of Prednisone and within a few hours I felt 80% better"


"Quit in 2 weeks. Tried everything I could think of to quit and this worked great."


"I am on the 50MG and The first night of taking trazadone was great slept straight 8hours. The next day didn't work at all. Was up all night. I believe that it hasn't worked as great as the first time. I took one tab(50mg) and can't sleep.(tonight 2a) Should I go one more tab 100mg? Afraid it could do me harm? I am getting more sleep than before but still not enough.
I am 5ft 2in around 150 pounds
"


"This medication worked great for me as far as keeping my BP in check while I recovered from heart failure.  I did have some mild coughing and dizziness if I got up too fast, but nothing I couldn't handle.  After being on this for 1 1/2 years I developed angioedema - swelling of lip and face.  Was immediately taken off the meds, told to take some Benadryl.  The symptoms went away and I was put on a different medication."


"I had very bad experiences  with this medication .  I now have permanent toxicity of my system and I also develop medically induced cataracts from this medication even though I have stopped taking the medication it will continue to try and rob me of my sight. eyes always swollen running very painful. every morning when I rise I look like a monster face full of fluid input all around my eyeslike a little Sacks  of fluid.  is there is help out there I would like some and I will like to know if there's a manufacturer lawsuit the information for this medication does not tell you about the damage that it does. now they are warning doctors to let patients know about this medication and the bad side effe and let them know if they want to take it."


"I have had fibro for 7 years, finally have a doctor that prescribed me Gabapentin. It's amazing I feel like a normal person again. I sleep through the night, with no pain anymore. My anxiety is gone also, which is awesome. I know everyone is different, but it works for me. I have had little to no side effects yet. First few doses  was a bit of an air head other than that no complaints. Being able to function pain free and agitation free is a blessing."


"ADHD makes life challenging enough, when the medicines that have worked for you for so many years are not longer available, the challenge grows. My doctor put me on this medicine and lowered the dose ...it's not working. "


"I had a rough time starting young with major depression and anxiety since middle school. My freshman year I started taking Lexapro. It was the worst possible thing that could've happened to me. Worst side effects ever. I gained over 40 pounds. I was tiny and petite to being around 125 to 170. Tried switching from many multiple different meds, still gained weight. Then my doctor finally put me on Wellbutrin, started off with the low dose and didn't really help much. She upped me to 150. I had hyperglycemia and finally got over it and got off of metformin. I am starting to finally lose some of that weight and about to look great for senior year. I highly recommend this medicine. It makes me not hungry anymore. I'm so happy now!"


"Helps me fall asleep but doesn't keep me asleep or stop my pain. I can't fall asleep without it, so I stay on it."


"Started with Trazodone last year to help with insomnia didn't need it every night, just taken as needed per the doctor. Started having issues with sleeping again last week took bottle out it hasn't expired yet so I figured I would try it again. I also take citalopram for depression, found an added benefit to the trazodone that didn't happen before and that was a major improvement in my mood and a better ability to focus, most likely because I sleep so soundly now, but the only side effect I'm having is muscle stiffness in different areas of my body, on a very low dose so I hope with continued use it will go away. Anyway it has been a wonder drug for me. Still feel a little groggy in the morning, and no headaches."


"Was the sickest I have ever even been in my nightmares!! Not fun - don't get with a habit and I feel like it does nothing for cravings its just like oh I can't cuz it won't do anything., but that doesn't mean anything if ur urge to use is still there. I  had a heavy heroin addict before I got shot worst withdrawals of my life!!! Worse then methadone suboxone heroin mixed into 1 times 10 tough stuff.  Each is own. If u are serious about getting off the shit this is one way.. Good luck"


"Spent two and a half years vomiting everything but coca cola, ramen, and mashed potatoes.  Had tried numerous ulcer medicines all failing miserably. Protonix made life bearable again! It actually ceased the pain!"


"I quit in 1998 because of Zyban. I credit this drug for helping me kick a pack a day habit that I thought I would never kick.  I was skeptical, but after 2 weeks taking it, I didn't get the rush from that first morning cigarette.  I didn't feel like I needed that soothing wave of calmness smoking gave me when I was stressed.  I didn't feel rewarded when I lit up anymore.  Without the soothing effects, I was left with the bad parts of smoking, the taste and the smell.  I quit and have never started again since.  I have heard stories from friends that had weird trips on Zyban and they sound downright frightening.  This did not happen to me thankfully."


"My experience  was that this was the only medicine that helped severe pelvic pain. I started on low dose but had to take two. Two months in my doctor agreed to raise the dose to 10mg/325 ....... I was worried about the amount of tylenol. Long story short had hysterectomy few months later. Took 2 months to wean myself off by tapering. Total I was on percocet 7 months."


"It works!!!!!!"


"My neurologist decided to try lamictal with me because of the inefficiency of topamax. As I was weening off topamax, he put me on 300mg of lamictal XR. After a few weeks, I was solely on lamictal and no more topamax. Yet, the first two weeks I had two seizures, so my doctor decided to put me on 1000mg of Keppra. I've had a few more seizures on lamictal and it was very random. I believe that lamictal is not beneficial by itself, but combined with another drug, it seems to help out. Although it helps a little bit, the side effects are fatigue, weakness and low appetite. These side effects weren't as bad as topamax, but they weren't the best. In the end, I've been seizure free for the last six months on lamictal and keppra."


"I have epilepsy, so sleep is a really important component of control, but I have issues with insomnia. I already take a lot of pills so I didn't want another,  but my neurologist  (whose specialty is actually sleep) suggested Trazodone because it doesn't alter sleep architecture and is non addictive (something I wanted to avoid). This is by far the best sleep medicine I have tried, and I have tried Ambien and Lunesta.  I guess I've also used my Klonopin, but I'd rather not take anything addictive very frequently. My dose is around 50-100 mg per night - depending on how tired I am."


"My endocrinologist put me on Metformin for what he diagnosed as metabolic syndrome. My general physician sent me to him because he thought I was pre-diabetic. My triglycerides were through the roof....3500 at one point! Prior to starting Metformin I had worked on improving my diet, watching calories and quality of foods I ate and I had seen some moderate weight loss. Once on the metformin, my triglycerides dropped 90% (from 3500 to 350) and the pounds began to drop away....several pounds every few weeks to the point that I am down 42 pounds (from 220 down to 178) in about 4 months. All while still battling my alcohol consumption at 7 to 10 beers a night (99 calories a piece) which is 750 to 1000 calories per night."


"Soma compound with codeine works great for my back pain. "


"I am taking Xarelto for a small PE (rt. lower lobe) detected upon battery of testing for origin of a "black out" I experienced.  (The PE just happened to be detected and is considered not to be the source of blackout.) So, I am sensitive to drugs, in general.
I am on the 2nd week or so of 1/day of 30mg.  I experience bizarre dreams and seem to be in a light sleep.  I have insomnia w/ the drug.  I also feel "whacked out", post even 20 hrs. after ingesting it.  In essence, I KNOW that I have taken a drug.  I sometimes have to take a nap; I feel better after doing this.  I am hoping that my body acclimates to X, but am realistic.  I am also hoping/praying that I only have to be on X for 6 mos.  I know that there are alternatives."


"I should have been on this sooner.  I'm a 26 year old recent law school graduate enduring the bar exam- unfortunately twice.  My first round of studying I was crying daily, couldn't sleep, was irritable, extremely depressed, anxious- I am normally these things, but it was heightened by the bar exam.  My first time taking the exam, I didn't come close to finishing the exam on the second day.  I was crying and couldn't control my panic attacks.  Second round of studying for the test, I decided to see a psychiatrist who gave me Prozac.  I love it.  I feel like a normal person.  A better version of who I was.  I feel even, I don't have panic attacks, don't cry, I feel great."


"This medicine has been wonderful. My 7 year old daughter had insomnia from the medicine for ADHD. It was awful, she couldn't get to sleep and was having difficulty in school. I wasn't thrilled about giving her more medicine but Clonidine has helped her so much."


"I have been taking trazodone for 6 years now. The only side effect I get is a dry mouth so always take a drink to bed. It works so well because I don't have to lie in bed for hours with all the things going round and round my head. My dosage varies from 50 mg to 150 mg depending on how bad my depression is. I also have a friend who used to drink heavily who started taking trazodone and he hardly drinks at all now."


"I actually liked this product when I was using it, but hated the inconvenience of having to mix the powder.  It was hard to use away from home.  My doctor gave me a lot of samples but now he said it isn't available?   Not sure why.  I like a new product he gave me a sample of called Lubricity (it's an oral spray) and I love the convenience of it.  It also seems to last considerably longer than NeutraSal and most of the other products I've tried.  Unfortunately it's not in any stores by me yet"


"My husband is taking this to treat his kidney infection from a 10 mm kidney stone, also a UTI and high temperature.

*Its been a fantastic medication for him.

* Took his fever away. instantly
* Treated UTI
* Treated  infection. All of them
* Recommended

This medication acting saved him when the Hospital sent him home with a extremely high temperature of 102.7 - 104.3. He was badly dehydrated fighting a kidney infection and a UTI and trying to pass a 10 millimeter kidney stone. His urologist said he should have been admitted and treated immediately and not sent home with a fever. If it wasn't for the antibiotics, he probably would have died or went into septic shock. His surgery is Monday for stone removal laser surgery."


"I was put on Yaz earlier this year by my regular doctor. Within a week of taking yaz, I had severe pain in my abdomen, I couldn't breathe without being in excruciating pain. A week later I was worse, I was in the worst pain I'd ever felt constantly. I went back to the Dr and after a week of testing and hundreds of dollars found out I have a Gall Bladder Infection and may have to have surgery to remove my gall bladder.  Luckily, medication cleared it up after a few days. Since then I have found out that there is actually a number of class actions, in a number of different countries including Australia & Canada, against the maker of Yaz due to the immense number of adversely effected women. Dont go near it!!"


"I am a 38 year old female with terrible insomnia for 6 years. I finally sought help to figure out what was causing it, since none of the medicines were working for me any longer. I was diagnosed with depression and prescribed 10 mg of Prozac. It has been of amazing help to me.  I now take 20 mg which is perfect.  I have suffered no side effects and am VERY sensitive to medicines.  The only thing I noticed was a very slight decrease in appetite. Prior to taking Prozac I felt like I was in a fog, I had no desire to do anything and that is hard with 2 young kids. I have decided to embrace the fact that I suffer from depression. I was also prescribed 25 mg of Seroquel for my insomnia. Life is better for me thanks to Prozac. Insomnia still work in progress."


"Tylenol with Codeine #3 does nothing for me.. plain aspirin is more effective. I have been prescribed Codeine several times, many times even, over my lifetime, and each time. It seems as if I took nothing at all. I don't know why, but I just shake my head and even laugh, when they prescribe it.. After trying it yet again, thinking it was just a mistake, or they made it better.. again, it does absolutely nothing to relieve pain. I take several of them, and usually about halfway through the prescription, given me by the doctor, I switch to plain aspirin, to get some relief from pain."


"I started taking TriNessa Lo for birth control. It's only been a month but I'm not happy about it. In just a little over a month my skin has gone from perfect to horrendous. Constant breakouts and painful acne."


"43rd birthday  - with no past history blood pressure went to 180/100. I consider myself generally healthy. Headache in the left temple for about a week and finally went to the doctor. He put me on 10mg Bystolic and now I feel better than ever. No side effects, with more energy and calmer feeling. Blood Pressure now averages 120/65. I know medicines don't work the same for everyone but I would recommend it for anyone to at least give it a try."


"I was prescribed a 5 day Z-Pak to treat a Streptococcal pharyngitis infection.  After the second day, the medication reduced the swelling and throat pain, but began to cause stomach cramping and pain.  By the end of the third day the stomach pain was severe and Doctor recommended to discontinue use.  This is the only antibiotic I have used that has caused an allergic reaction."


"I completed all 3 shots about 2 weeks ago.  My knee is feeling so much better.  I don't need my cane anymore.  I went back to Exercise class this week and can do the standing exercises again.  Very impressed!"


"I got it inserted about 3 months ago. So far I love it! Insertion was quick and easy, not painful, but left an ugly bruise for about a week.  I felt bloated for about 2 weeks after insertion, but that eventually went away. My next menstrual cycle last almost 2 weeks, but I have not had a period since! I do get the symptoms of being on my cycle, such as cramping and bloating, back aches, but no bleeding. I was worried about other reviews about it making them an emotional wreck, causing depression, etc. I already deal with stress/anxiety/depression and am currently on medication for it, but it has not gotten any worse with the Nexplanon. My experience has been good so far and would definitely recommend."


"My pharmacy started to give me these pills as the cheaper version of my regular birth control and in the first week I started to have horrible side effects. My breasts became so sore that I couldn't even graze my hand on them without wincing and on top of that it gave me a UTI. Don't know how good they work on the birth control part because I was unable to have intercourse because of what it was doing to me."


"I thought the NuvaRing was great that is, until I started noticing that NuvaRing likes to slip down to the vaginal opening and irritates my urethral opening. This happens constantly. I have also noticed that I am extremely bloated. I have tried everything to make the bloatedness go away. Doctor said it was water gain, but when does water gain ever go away? No acne, (not a huge sufferer of acne normally), no painful cramps (yet) I got on the NuvaRing immediately after getting off the Depo Provera. Maybe the withdrawal symptoms of the Depo Provera are coinciding with the new symptoms of the ring? I am considering not being on the ring. "


"First placed on this medication in 2012 with no improvement in condition."


"I've been through 10 medications trying to find what worked, because I was so miserable. Wellbutrin along with Seroquel and Effexor were the only thing that have worked for me and I haven't dared to meddle with the wonderful combination I take."


"I was waking up to my body shivering for about 10 seconds and having severe morning sadness. Thinking of death, being angry, being unhappy for no reason. I was taking Welbutrin years ago and it seemed to work with little side effects so I requested it from my Doctor.

I am very happy with the results, feeling better about life again."


"I've been taking this birth control for a year now and I absolutely love it. Since I started taking I've seen no physical change in my health. It cleared up my skin great!"


"After suffering for 3 mo post op joint pain for a torn medial meniscus I was started on Voltaren pills and within 12 hours I was pain free and walked up stairs again-- a miracle! I had also developed plantar fasciitis in the opposite foot from hobbing and it immediately was gone also! I can tell after 12 hours when it is wearing off because the pain starts to return."


"I've been losing my hair like crazy, I got implant in June 2016, so very dissatisfied with this. Very moody, excessive sweating. No acne or weight gain."


"It was the worst experience of my life. I asked the pharmacist what he recommended, since an antibiotic caused a yeast infection. He said if it was him he would want to get rid of it right away. Wrong! I'm at day 5. I would of prefered the yi. I took it early in the morning. After a few hours I began to have a constant sting and itch. I took a shower and noticed major swelling and more discomfort. I felt so irritated.... Just last night I put Desitine to help. I will never take the one day again. The 3 day I didn't get this reaction at all. Don't risk it. It is very painful and worry of damage it could cause.  They need to pull this off the shelf! I had to write this to help others..."


"I am on my third month of this birth control and I am satisfied with it. The first week I took it, I would take the pill at night and then wake up in the morning with vomiting or nausea. The morning after I took the very first pill was the worst. This occurred the first few white pills of the second pack as well, however it subsided after a few days. I noticed I was moodier than usual the first few weeks but that went away. I'm glad I didn't stop taking it because now I don't even notice anything negative. I haven't gained weight, it hasn't helped my acne but it hasn't hurt it either, so that's fine with me. My periods became lighter for fewer days and MUCH less painful. My cramps are so much better now. Most importantly, I'm not pregnant."


"Have been using Imuran for the past 39 years following a kidney transplant. Still healthy and going strong."


"I've been taking Trulicity for 6 weeks.  I've seen no effect on fasting blood sugar, my resting heart rate appears to have increased 10-15 bpm, and I've gained 5 pounds.  Don't know quite what to make of it."


"I've had a great experience with Differin gel. I was prescribed Differin for acne that got worse as an adult. When I was 31, the acne was so severe that I felt like a teenager.

The first week was hard. My skin was very dry to the point where flakes would fall off when I touched my face. I used moisturizer in the morning, and would still flake all day. After about a week, the dryness completely went away. I've been using this product for a few weeks now and have seen a HUGE difference in my skin. My acne is clearing up, and my skin has a smoothness that it has never had before. My skin is combination/oily, and it feels a little oilier now. I'm okay with that - with the smoothness of my skin, it looks dewy and clear."


"I was on the depo provera shot for 2 years. Absolutely hated it. The two years that I was on it. I had rapid weight gain and gained 30lbs in two years. My mood swings were awful and became much more depressed. Also caused my anxiety to become worse. Wouldn't recommend this birth control to anybody."


"I initially was prescribed this a few months ago at 10 mg 3xd, but it made me headachy and almost made my anxiety worse, so I quit taking it. I cannot take benzos, and recently am having more problems with anxiety, so I'm trying it at 5 mg 3xd. Now I see what others have been talking positively about. It's very subtle, but apparently I was just taking too much for my system before. So far, so good."
