"Last night I googled over the counter medicine for mild to moderate anxiety and depression. Found St John's Wort. Today I went to Walgreen's and the pharmacist recommended the exact same thing! I knew this would be perfect. I'm so thrilled that it's a natural herbal supplement too! The pharmacist said it would take 6 weeks to work. It's already working great. My mood is more stable I don't feel sad or anxious about anything. I feel relaxed. My mind doesn't feel heavy. It feels clear and it's great! I would totally recommend this product. The price was right too!"


"I fall between fatigue and narcolepsy. I've been this way for about 15 years. Thought I was just a sleepy person. Then my doctor suggested I might have sleep apnea. So I went to a sleep specialist and had the test. Mild results (6x an hour). She put me on a C-PAP machine and after a few months there was no improvement in my EDS. First there was Provigil which made me fall asleep a few hours after taking. Then on to Nuvigil which wasn't strong enough. Tried Ritalin next and the crash was too severe. At my suggestion the doctor prescribed dextroamphetamine salts and it has helped immensely. No more falling asleep at traffic lights, at the office or after work (no more strain on my marriage). I take 2x 30mg a day with zero side effects."


"I started taking this in April 2017. I was on 9 medications at the time for manic episodes and severe constant hallucinations. The only medication that ever stopped my hallucinations before this was haldol, but it caused extreme akinesia, so I stopped taking it. Originally was on 20 mg of Geodon twice daily, but have now gone to 80 mg twice daily. This medication is a miracle. The hallucinations have almost completely gone, and my mood is stable for the first time in years. No severe weight gain or weight loss. The only real side effect is that I get sleepy, but it is a welcome rest. I have gone from 9 medications to 3 medications. Recommended."


"I have been taking this for a few months and am satisfied. A little moody sometimes but satisfied."


"I am taking 1 pill a day and today is day 9 and I have lost 9 lbs so far. I can handle losing a pound a day!"


"I have CRPS stage 3 in my left arm and left foot.  I started on 16mg a day of exalgo, then up to 12 2xday, now 16 2xday for 32mg a day.  I found the 2x a day was the key for this medicine since its takes a long time to start so the next dose 12 hours apart really helped.  I'm just starting the 32mg a day since my crps spread to my entire left arm so I'm hoping I don't eventually get to the 32mg 2x/day.. has anyone else taken that much?"


"I really didn't notice much difference after 6 months on Lyrica - still had minor headaches, but apparently swelling went down (MRI). I DID notice the sleepiness at first, followed by insomnia and 30 lbs weight gain in that 6 months and swollen fingers and belly area."


"My experience with Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo has been good. I have used it for 2 years. I have not experienced cramping or weight gain. I exercised a lot for the first year, but this past year I have not exercised and I have maintained the same weight evenly. I do think that this helps with my facial breakouts as well. I recommend this product, however I have not tried anything else."


"This is a wonderful medicine for anxiety it works within 20 mins and lasts for a long time because of its long half life. However if you are suffering from depression, especially clinical depression I would not recommend taking this. It will worsen your depression symptoms if taken too often. If you started an SSRI antidepressant it can be used early on to help with some side effects like increased anxiety in the first few weeks on the medication."


"I learned quickly that what works for one may not work for another.  I was on Wellbutrin, which worked pretty well for me, except for the ringing in my ears.  My doctor then suggested Cymbalta and I felt worse almost immediately.  We stuck with it, and even increased the dosage, but I felt like I was slipping back into darkness.  I had neither energy nor interest in anything.  I then began Pristiq: four weeks at 50 mg and now 100 mg.  I'm feeling better than I have in many months.  I had a bit of nausea at the beginning and then some headaches when I first bumped up to 100 mg.  In conjunction with an effective therapist I was lucky to find, I'm finally feeling (cautiously) optimistic about this thing called life."


"I took  my first dose this morning.  I am a healthy 43yrs old but know that getting the weight off as I age will be better for me. I look forward to posting positive results and to have them serve as my accountability. And to read all your posts to serve as support!  185 and counting..... ( down)"


"I started the dosage as recommended by my doctor at 10 mg for one week, then 20 mg for the next few weeks.  I was coming off Paxil slowly and going on Viibryd.  I had very vivid nightmares with Viibryd.  That's when I could sleep.  I spent many hours awake with Viibryd, say around six hours per night.  I'm already taking Ambien for sleep, and this medication made my insomnia much, much worse.  Even the Ambien wouldn't work.  What was even worse is that I felt like I was going crazy every morning after waking up from a very short sleep.  I feel bad enough as it is, and don't need to feel even worse.  I do NOT recommend giving this medication a try.  I was desperate for relief, but felt worse so I'm back to Paxil until I see my doctor again."


"I have been taking for about 7 years. Started at 10mg 2xs a day plus 7.5 mg Vicodin 3xs a day. Now taking 30mg 2xs a day and 7.5 mg Norco 3 to 4xs a day. Before they changed the formula, it worked a lot better. It does give pain relief but it doesn't last 12 hrs, like they claim. I have herniated disc in back also AVN in hips. Just had left hip totally replaced now I need right hip replaced before they will do surgery on my back."


"I switched from lo loestrin Fe, because it made me stop having periods and made me nervous that I was pregnant because I didn't get my period. I switched to loryna and my periods came back and weren't irregular anymore, fairly light and less cramps. I have barely any acne besides some occasional acne on my backside. I've been having mood swings, low and high periods that last a week or so. It started affecting my relationship in a negative way and I've had more anxiety attacks than I did without it. Didn't make me gain weight at all, although it did make my depression a bit worse. I recommend this birth control but advise to be careful and if you notice it taking a toll on your mental health then switch. I've haven't switched yet"


"This medicine worked for me! The other reviews were so NEGATIVE. It SCARED ME so BADLY! I decided to take this medicine for my constipation, and then after I took the pill at 12:30pm after lunch (no milk or antacids with it though). I got online to find out how long it would take for it to work (it stated 6 to 12 hours), BUT for me was 4.5 hours. I did have some discomfort, but I had some discomfort from my constipation too. I am not saying that the other reviewers didn't have this horrible side effects, I am sure they did. I thought I would get on here though, because those negative side effects do NOT happen to everyone! I do have to say though, I am So GLAD I didn't take it before bedtime (like suggested on the box though) because that would have put me up 2:30 AM in the morning, when everything got flushed out). That wouldn't have made me a happy camper, Glad I decide to take it after lunch, and then I was home at 4:30 after work, and went to the bathroom, and it Truly does CLEAN you OUT!! My advice, be smart with the timing and place you take this medicine, if you decide to try it."


"Ambien is the best ever."


"I had severe acne in my late teens through my early twenties.  I took Accutane in the early 90's after other treatments and it was a wonder drug in my case. I still remember the feeling of my pores beginning to functioning properly and the irritating pimples going away from my back and neck. However, as others have warned, the side effects are real and not exaggerated."


"I got Belviq on the 2nd or 3rd day it was available. I got a 15 day free sample and I've already lost almost 10 pounds. I have not had any negative side effects. This definitely makes you feel less hungry."


"I was prescribed this medicine 4 days ago for a really bad case of bronchitis. I felt so weak and generally just awful. I was so glad that the doctor gave me some antibiotics to clear up the infection; he also gave me 2 inhalers to help open up my airways. I was so light headed and pale. On day three I had a glass of wine and thought I was going to die, I was very cold and lightheaded (don't drink alcohol). Apart from my stupidity I'm feeling a little better, still coughing  when I lay down but better overall; but the side effects are just awful. Theres the taste, but I also feel kinda out of it, I can feel the drug in my blood stream. One minute I want to lay down and the next I'm hyperactive. 4 more days (1000mg daily :("


"Does not seem to help me and just makes me tired."


"It's the goal opposite of what I was told and it relates to my mood.  I was told I world have energy and talk a lot. I have NO ENERGY, DON'T want to TALK at all.  No irritability at all just don't want to talk.  It does curb my appetite. I'm probably dehydrated because I have constant dry mouth and have no desire for liquids."


"I have suffered extreme damage to my trigeminal nerve on the left side of my face due to dental implants. I since had three teeth pulled and one implant taken out. My life was full of unbearable pain and suffering. After 17 doctors/dentists, I finally went to an neurologist who put me on Lyrica. After fighting with my insurance company for two weeks I  was approved.  Within one week I have minimal pain! It is a miracle for me. I take 25mg three times a day. Love it! Thank you!"


"I have been on Cymbalta for 3 weeks now and I feel great. It started working within 48 hours. I am not depressed at all. I have more energy. I feel like me again. The first few nights I had problems staying asleep but it is better now. No negative side effects yet. Sometimes it curbs my appetite but I always over-ate anyway (I'm about 20 lbs. overweight) so I think this is a good thing."


"Lilly told me that my undershirt is still a risk to my family after 10 hours. How am I supposed to manage that? Many people do laundry in my house. Shirts are in baskets and the laundry shoot. I can't get everyone to wash their hands every time they touch something of mine."


"Contains polysorbate 80 can cross the blood brain barrier. Google it. It's potentially dangerous stuff."


"I have been taking Cozaar 50 mg 1per day  combined with Coreg 25 mg 2x daily for about 10 years. My blood pressure was 200/120. About 2 years ago Coreg CR 20mg replaced the  Coreg daily. This regimen slowly reduced my BP to 100/60.  This BP was too low so I stopped the Coreg CR completely. I am now on Cozaar 50 mg 1 per day and my BP is averaging 125/60-70."


"I am only 17, but after having suffered moderate to severe depression and after trying several different medications, I began taking Abilify.  It has worked extremely well and I have only had one "meltdown" since.  I am very happy with it and have not noticed any side effects."


"I started Taytulla during the last few days of December 2016. I had no problems--no fatigue, no stomach ache, no headaches, just basically nothing out of the ordinary. Within the first couple of months, I had mild spotting, and the side effects of my period did not go away. I still had terrible cramps, stomach bloating, and my acne actually seemed to get worse as the months went on. 6 months later, I am seeing no difference in anything EXCEPT! My period DOES come at the right time at the end of my packet every month. The real issue? EXPENSIVE!!! With insurance only covering part of the cost (Original price is almost $200, it costs $80 a month. Who has that kind of money??"


"I have been using this medication with Apo-doxy for 2 weeks now, the first 4 days I had no new break outs but now it's starting to get worse, that's what the doctor said so I am still going to use it, for people that have burning red skin please get some neutrogena dry skin moisturizer it is the best thing for your face, use it in the morning for a few days and it will reduce the redness and dry skin, it also stops the burning when you apply the tactupump, anyways I hope this medications works for me I am really embarrassed about my acne"


"I had smoked for 35 years, average of 1 to 2 packs a day. I have tried the medications, the patch, gums, etc., many times through the years.  Finally, a couple of years ago a friend offered me the Commit lozenges. I really wanted to quit this time, so I tried them.  I was able to give up smoking.  But, I continued to crave so I bought the gum and have alternated between the gum and lozenges every since.  I don't want to go back to smoking and have yet to find anything that says how bad it is to continue the gum, so as long as I am not smoking and still want a cigarette every now and then, I will continue to chew the gum, as needed."


"I've been on this medication for 2 1/2 months now, so I'm not sure if that's long enough to judge this medication, but here I go. I am a 21 year old male, and I've had anxiety for as long as I remember, and on and off depression since I was about 15. This medication works FANTASTICALLY for both anxiety and depression. Both symptoms are at an all time low, and I love this medicine for that. Unfortunately, side effects are present, and for me, never went away. I ALWAYS feel tired on this medicine (as a result, caffeine is my best friend). Because of the side effects, I don't particular recommend this medicine, but everyone's body works differently, and it may be right for you."


"I battled with OCD since being a child but I was only diagnosed after being hospitalised in my forties. I have been taking clomipramine at 250mg a day along with antipsychotics for the last 5 years. The intrusive thoughts that used to be so crippling have greatly reduced to a level I can handle. Clomipramine saved my life, literally, as I was hospitalised twice for attempted suicide. The only downside are the side effects, for me, as a man, the impotence and loss of libido are difficult to live with but it's a price worth paying."


"My husband took 3 Imbruvica before bedtime and died the next day from Sudden Cardiac Arrest"


"Depakote has worked great for me. It totally helps with mania. The only medication that clears up my head and makes me feel normal. Also it gets rid of my migranes. The only bad thing is a few side effects.  I gained weight and my hair fell out. And I was pretty lathargic at first. Takes a while but once it kicks in I felt like a whole person. I was off of it for a long time and recently was put back on it so going through side effects again but felt a difference rite away."


"Too many serious side effects. If you're on this medicine and you are experiencing unusual effects, and suspect this medicine then tell your Dr immediately."


"I read these reviews a year ago and was completely terrified to take this medicine. I let my asthma go so long out of fear that I was going to have a bad reaction that now I need medicine just to breathe at night. I rated it an 8 because I've only taken 1 dose but that was the first night I fell asleep being able to breathe fully in a long time. Today is the first day I only needed my rescue inhaler one time (so far). I'm hoping as I continue to take it, it'll get even better. Also, no side effects what-so-ever. Please try to take medicine for yourself and see how you feel before you put things off. I'm loving Singulair and the way I can breathe!"


"Works great for me. I had severe crippling anxiety. If you work out while on this medicine you feel great."


"Didn't help my runny nose at all unfortunately."


"So, I am not one to take medications much and I don't take any medicine on a regular basis, but Mucinex D is definitely a must in my medicine cabinet for that severe once a year bug. It CAN cause sleeplessness in the night but with that in mind I usually take it at 7 am and 7 pm if I even take a second dose at all during a 24 hour period. I cannot sleep when I get a cold and though this medication can keep me awake, it is still a better alternative to suffering through a night of clearing my throat and getting up to blow my nose multiple times. For the record I only take 1 at a time and have quick results with no other side effects besides the sleeplessness. Choose wisely y'all, this stuff can be a miracle if you need one."


"I've been taking lutera for about five months now. I've noticed that my mood swings have gotten terrible. I am prone to headaches, and I've gained quite a bit of weight that is nearly impossible to lose. "


"I've used Zomig for around 4 years now, if taken as soon as recognise an attack I know that about 90 mins later the pain in head will go, longer if it's into the attack. I have always experienced, drowsiness and hyper sensitivity  all over my skin, if I were to have a shower within 5 hours of taking Zomig my whole body feels like it's stinging, hot drinks feel like they are burning my throat, hand washing with hot or warm water is a no no. Also, if I eat within 5 hours it will feel like my taste buds have exploded, excruciating but brief pain. I also still get all the other migraine symptoms, stomach upset, fatigue, very irritable, even with the Zomig but I guess I can function with those things, it's the head pain and sickness that's worst."


"I have had constipation problems for years.  Before Linzess, I was taking up to 6 different medications to try to go and then it would hit with a vengeance and last all day long.  I couldn't work a full time job because of it.  I was miserable all of the time with bloating, cramping and nausea.

I have only been on it a week and I already feel so much better.  I now have bowel movements like normal people.  Yes, there is some diarrhea, but I think I am still getting used to it.  If the diarrhea gets bad, I will cut back to every other day.  But, I will talk to my doctor first."


"I started September 1st 2017 with the starter pack. Had the usual symptoms that everyone is talking about. Toughed it out. Then the monthly dosage started after the starter pack finished. About the third and a half week I had pain in the lower left side of my stomach. I stopped the pill for a week. Pain was gone. So I thought lets try again.

I then started the pill only in the evenings. Basically half dose. Since the start till now October 20 2017, my plaque psoriasis has been noticeably reduced. Halving the half (1 pill a day) dose has also calmed my usual symptoms. I am tempted to start back on 2 pills a day again."


"I didn't even know Lyrica was prescribed as an off lable treatment for anxiety.  I was mainly taking it for my fibromyalgia and phantom pain from an amputation.  And I didn't realize until now I had full blown GAD and have probably had it since my teens.   I thought it was mostly depression.  I journal and I can see that when I have been on Lyrica I didn't reach the extreme kind of depression I've been in.  I recently tried to quit again because it causes me to be lethargic and to not be able to lose weight.  It may have been some withdrawal symptoms, but within a week I was in grueling depression-anxiety.  The DAY I started back on my 75mg/day Lyrica I started feeling better!"


"I have had this bc since April 2011 and has worked well and I don't remember the last time I had a period other than right before I got the replacement. After this one I will Not be getting it replaced again. I feel my body needs a break from hormones and I feel my body needs to have a period, also I never gained weight from having kids I was always around 100 and now I can not stay under 130, I know I'm not fat but I do not feel comfortable with myself, I feel like my body needs to release all the bad stuff. I also believe it now has an effect on my emotional state. I do recommend it but don't get a replacement, maybe switch for a bit then go back to it."


"I've used it on and off, and I definitely see slowed hair growth.
The only problem I have is that it slows growth, it doesn't remove. This results in hair coming out "just a little bit", i.e., very, very short hairs, which are not so much seen as felt.  And they're very hard to remove because so short (and I only use Tweezerman!)
It actually takes me longer to pluck the short stunted growth hairs than the full grown hairs.
Oh, well. I'm hoping that once I do get them, they won't grow back and I'll be on my way to a smooth chin!!"


"I am a 65 year Male, been on high blood pressure meds for about 15 years. Two years ago my medication for HBP was not working as well my pressure was up to 185/95. My doctor gave me a 21 day free trial of Azor 10/40 mg, this dose was working great 117/73 no problems but by the middle of the 3rd week my face and most of my body was burning up like fever. MY doctor gave me clonidine to reduce the flushing but did not work, so I had to stop taking Azor. If you don't get any side effects, Azor is great."


"I have always suffered from depression, but got panic disorder after I broke up with my fiance of 3 years. During that time it was hell. I couldn't drive or go out alone in fear that I would hurt myself or others out of impulse.

I was prescribed citalopram initially and it made things worse. Strangely my mom is on citalopram and copes really well (she has depression without anxiety). My psychiatrist recommended a switch to Zoloft and everything improved drastically. My symptoms of anxiety subsided dramatically and I can now continue with my life as normal. I still get mild panic attacks, but very rarely or when I get very upset. I would definitely give Zoloft a thumbs up, but it should be clear that these medicines affect every person differently."


"I have had a great results for this birth control. First birth control that worked for me. I have not had a period in two years. Although I do have the cravings during what would have been that time of the month. I have intercourse with my husband on a daily basis with no problems. Would highly recommend."


"I got a bladder infection and was prescribed Macrobid. Within a day of taking it I was so sick. My body ached all over and I had a difficult time walking. My eye sight and balance were way off. I thought I picked up a virus at the pharmacy or doctors office. Then I started having a hard time breathing and I was hallucinating. That went on for 3 1/2 days until the 6th day when I broke out into hives from my neck down. Then I realized it was a reaction to the antibiotic. I took a ride in an ambulance to the ER and for the next 3 days had to have steroids shot into my butt and I'm taking oral steroids also. It's been 8 days since the ER and my lungs still hurt and I can't take a deep breath even with the steroid inhaler. My eyes are shot also"


"My A1c was 13.9 and I was Prescribed Januvia 100mg Tab 34 Days ago & my A1c is now a 9.6. I have noticed a Change of my Health since starting Januvia. I'm experiencing Severe Painful Muscle Spasms to both Legs to Feet, Numbness to Right Arm & Hand, Slight Abdominal Pains, Urination is every 5 Minutes and Bowel Movements are 3 Times/Day & a Slight Pain in Lower Back is Constant. Typing the Keyboard on my Laptop is a Challenge because both Hands and Arms are shaking, 2 hrs to type this Review correctly is a Challenge. Only 34 Januvia Pills later I'm feeling these affects that were not Normal 34 Days ago. My Blood Pressure Meds have been Raised from 10mg to 30mg after 15yrs on 10mg Dosage. Doc said, Keep taking Januvia, Have to get A1c to a 5."


"I've gotten 5 shots and I'm still bleeding,  when will it end"


"I get 10 mg (not cr) they work good most of the time. I sleep 6 hrs. With no side effects! Unless I take 2 then I am fuzzy until I take a hot shower."


"I've been taking Campral for a few weeks, and am amazed at the difference in my cravings. I've been a daily drinker for 6-7 years. I've been to inpatient rehab, outpatient, countless AA meetings and counseling. This has been a miracle of sorts. I'm only a few weeks in, but I'm not white knuckling it this time. I just don't want to drink because my brain is no longer screaming for one."


"I have been suffering from headaches and shoulder strain for years.  I finally found a medicine that works. For me it is like taking Vicodin without the grogginess. It takes the pain away and helps me relax. Finally a medicine that WORKS!!"


"A week after using Lastacaft, like with some of the other reviewers, I thought I had conjunctivitis and went in to see the doctor, indicating that it started after using the drops. He said it was due to dry eye issues and being around a lot of dust/debris, which made sense at the time. The antibiotic drops did the trick, but I was told to keep using Lastacaft, and sure enough, the redness returned. I continued with the just the antibiotics and I was back to normal. Well, this morning, I thought I'd start with Lastacaft again, since the doctor indicated that they weren't the problem, and I'm back to having pink eye. "


"I am 22 years I was given a sample of onexton from my dermatologist so I could get started until I got mine mailed to me. Let me just say this stuff is AMAZING! My breakouts were significantly smaller and less noticeable with the first application. After a week my face was close to completely clear to where I just used it about twice a week. The reason I'm giving it a 9 and not a 10 is because it did dry me out a bit but nothing you can't control with a good moisturizer. Over all in LOVE with this stuff."


"After starting wellbutrin I didn't notice any effects until week 5, I am now on week 9. I feel so much better than before, my self image and self confidence have skyrocketed, my libido increased, I am so much more optimistic and happy too. Honestly can't say enough positive things about Wellbutrin."


"Thought this medicine was great at first, but after going to 300mg dose, got yeast infections, terrible itching and burning. Tried all the suggested ideas, probotics, washing more, baby wipes, drinking more water, vasoline, moniststat, but to no avail.  Would clear up for a few days and start up again. Just could not stand it any longer. While I could eat slightly more carbs, only lost about 10lbs after 5 months and then it seemed like when I did eat carbs my sugar went up and stayed up until I ate my next meal before going down.  A1c only went from 7.9 to 7.8 after three months on the higher dose.  Also had terrible dry mouth and frequent urination.  Just unsure of this medication."


"I would rate propofol 8/10 because I had a very intense burning that traveled up my arm for 20-30 seconds during administration. It seems this can be avoided by administering lidocaine first, which not all anesthesiologists do.

Burning aside, I couldn't have had a better experience with sedation as I did not experience any side effects, was fairly functional the rest of the day (did sleep a fair bit), and did not remember any of the procedure."


"Hi i'm a fifteen year old girl and i'm going to be a junior once the summer vacation ends. I've had axillary hyperhidrosis since maybe sixth grade. I never really became self conscious about it until maybe eight grade. I always wore sweatshirts no matter what or a baggy t shirt. My hyperhidrosis wasn't as bad as others where they'd be drenched in sweat, I just always had a maybe one point five by one point five inch sweat mark and it's just uncomfortable. The night before last night, I started using hyper care solution, and the following day (yesterday) I had absolutely no sweating. The only problem is that Hypercare is really itchy and irritates my skin. But it doesn't burn. I recommend this product! It works like magic. Changed my life."


"today is day 7 of using chantix. I'm a 33 year old disabled army vet. I have bi-polar, depression, PTSD, borderline personality disorder and I have been smoking for 20 years. I have tried everything to quit smoking, patches made me want to smoke more, the gum made my stomach feel like it was on fire and cold turkey made me homicidal. On day one I was smoking a pack a day. by day 4 I was smoking 1/2 a pack now I smoke about 3 cigarettes a day, but only a 1/2 a cigarette at a time. I have no nausea, no sleep issues, and no other side effects that I have noticed. I just seem to be be craving cigarettes less and less. I'm really hoping that within a few more days  wont smoke at all."


"I have numerous health problems, and I normally can't say many good things about medications. But, Dulera has seriously changed my life. It has worked better than any other medication, or combination of medications I have taken. I was and still am completely shocked on how well it has worked for me. I am no longer short of breath, tight in the chest, and can actually laugh without getting light headed or short of breath."


"I will agree with most users, it tastes horrible. However, nothing you can't chug down, and this is coming from a super taster. I rinsed my mouth with Coca-Cola,  and sucked on Sunflower seeds after each huge gulp. Started seeing results within an hour. I think the trick is to just sit on the pot as soon as your tummy starts rumbling and stay there for a while so you don't get bloated and achy."


"Bonine is a game changer!!!! My husband & I have a 28 ft boat which my husband loves offshore fishing!! But I get terrible sea sickness! Even if it's less than a foot! Tried Dramamine and it never worked I would be green in less than an hour!! But then I discovered Bonine "God Sent" took 1 pill! The chewable & lasted all day fishing! Not too mention it was rough seas about 2 1/2 to 3 feet!! It was amazing!! So I'm sold definitely a Bonine fan.  It was a game changer for me! This stuff truly work."


"Yesterday I went to the emergency room with severe vertigo that I had for three days prior and a migraine had started two days after the vertigo and it was painful it was the first time I ever went to an emergency room for a head ache. They were very worried I could not walk due to the severe vertigo so they decided to give me mezacline and  Reglan in an IV drip and something for nausea and within 10 minutes of the IV I began shaking uncontrollably all over and my muscles were twitching my stomach was burning horribly and I  literally felt a panic so severe I thought I was dying and finally it became so bad the doctor gave me a Valium and within 10 minutes I felt back to normal .Reglan was the problem and I NEVER want that feeling again!"


"Ok so I had a yeast infection for a whole month it was some type of intense burning sensation in my vagina it was sooo bad it went and came every other day it had gotten so bad I had to see a doctor. I was scared because it was so bad and I cried and thought I would never have a sex life ever again. I went to an obgyn in he told me I had a mild yeast infection I was shocked because it felt so severe and painful. I thought it was something worse the doctor prescribed me diflucan/flicanzole 150mg.  It was one pill I took it when I got home. It didn't work instantly but the yeast was fixed in two days. I took it on Tuesday & felt nothing Thursday morning  - I was so happy "


"Lexapro works but the (Generic) Escitalopram does NOT. Lexapro has saved my life. Made me a normal happy person. I tried the generic for a month and I couldn't hardly function. Thankfully I had my dr. call and my insurance covers all but $55.00 but it is sooo worth it."


"26 when diagnosed, 3 ablation, at least 50 cardioversions open heart Cox Maiden success.   At 37 went on Tikosyn.   I live a normal life in sinus rhythm 99 percent of the time. If I had to do all over I would not have had any surgery.  However a very nice effect of the Cox Maize is that it nearly eliminated my risk of stroke. Been on Tikosyn for five years with no noticeable side effects."


"I went on Epiduo at 20 years old, having acne since I was 17. My acne was moderate and occasionally moderately severe, my skin type normal/slightly sensitive. After day nr 2 of epiduo, I got an allergic reaction. My eyes swelled up, my whole face was rough and red and at one point I even had slight swelling in my throat. I went to the emergency room and was put under an IV drip of antihistamines or something. Call me crazy, but I didn't give up. After my face healed (i.e. was no longer dry as the desert and red), I started re-applying small amount every other day. Eventually working my way up to pea sized amounts per target area per night. It ALMOST cleared my acne up! I still have breakouts, but nothing what I used to three years ago."


"Breathing difficulties, excessive bowel movements, memory loss (short term),weight gain, swelling ankles, coughing, difficulty sleeping.
I want to be on something else"


"I have migraines and vertigo. This medicine helped my inflammation after surgery. However I had 3 days of vertigo and headaches. The dr. stopped the med and Everything came back to normal."


"I absolutely love it! I've had it for 2 yrs only got my period once a few weeks after I got the Implanon and never got a period again. No mood swings, gained a little weight but I don't think it all has to do with the Implanon. No side effects at all. It all depends on how your body reacts to it, I was reading some reviews where they have been bleeding for ever....if that would have been me I would of removed it already."


"Great experience. Totally cured my anxiety but habit forming. Works wonders."


"Does it work? Yeah! For everyone - NO! Let me explain. Do you have a job that you have to be alert and stay on your toes? Then you need to be careful on this because it will cause you to all the negative experiences you read about. I was on top as I call it 6 years ago and took a break from it and now have got back on it again. Why? Because I am tired of taking 6 Advil and every other over the counter drug there is everyday and wondering what is happening to my body from doing that over time and having the headaches day after day after day. So simply put you get to a point of asking yourself - do the side effects of taking it out weigh not taking it, and if you read everything the answer is an overwhelming YES! "


"This has been the worst experience on Birth Control I've had. I've had this for about 5 months and I have been bleeding everyday. I am giving it the full 7 months as recommended by my doctor, but if the bleeding doesn't stop, I'm getting it out and will not be using any BC for awhile.
I haven't had headaches or mood swings, it's just the constant bleeding that is the issue."


"Was on Chantix for about two weeks.  I did not take the PM dose or I would never sleep.  I did slow down and almost stopped within that time, but found I was irritable, cranky, and VERY depressed.  The side effects were mostly emotional.  I had to stop taking Chantix.  When you wake up in the morning feeling like it was the night before and the "sun" is not shining = entering deep depression, it is time to quit the medication."


"Inderal LA is very very effective.  I have bad tremors and have see neurologist and family physician.  Starting dosage is low then work up.  I take Inderal LA 160 mg once daily.  Sometimes during the day I must also take a Xanax once or twice to help.  But by far the Inderal was the most effective drug I have every taken for tremors."


"Paxil CR helped control the anxiety and panic attacks.  It did allow me to live my life normally.  However, I have had one big side effect.  Since January, I have gained 35 lbs.  It does not matter that I workout four or five days a week for 1 1/2 or two hours, and try to eat a healthy diet.  No matter what I did, I continually gained weight.  My doctor has now taken me off of it, due to the rapid weight gain I have experienced.  She felt that the rapid weight gain was not healthy, and could lead to obesity if I did not quit taking the drug.  So, I am going to come off of Paxil CR, hopefully drop this excessive weight, because I have never had a weight problem until now and I am 31 years old, and just go from there."


"Too bad they took it off the market."


"I was put on Chateal 5 months ago because I was diagnosed with PCOS & Hypothyroidism. I had bleeding for 28 weeks Prior so they wanted to stop it. It didn't regulate me at all, I've experienced Period Cramping which I've never had before. I've lost weight and my sex drive. I've had nausea, Dizziness, Frequent Migraines, Blood in stool. But worst of all Stomach cramps and Extreme pain In abdomen area. If I stop taking the pills the bleeding will continue and I won't be able to get the tests I need to find out what is wrong. All in all, I'm going back on Friday to get more tests and a biopsy. If this birth control gives you extreme side effects, Or doesn't regulate your period; Contact your doctor right away."


"This was the hardest drug to get and be approved. I was doing the bridge pack and kept having to call the doctors to get them to keep trying with insurance. Then I had to keep calling otezla to keep it coming to my house. I never felt fully better. Maybe just a tiny bit but definitely not worth all the hassle. I ended up just quitting since I couldn't get it here on time and it kept lapsing my treatment."


"As an aid to help sleep, my feeling is it's not to be underestimated

and is probably better as a suppository than as an oral preparation.

By using this route ( i.e.anal ),it by-passes the only side- effect that I've known it to have - which is sneezing !"


"After having Feraheme IV the only side effect I experienced was a little itching on legs arms here and there and slight dizziness which I was feeling already from anemia."


"I originally started this medication due to chronic migraines caused by hormonal imbalance. When I first started the pill my acne had reached its worst. I told myself to stick it through, it was the only thing helping the prevention of my headaches and migraines. In the 3rd month my skin completely cleared. My boobs went from just fitting a D 32 to DD 34! I gained no weight from it, still had my sex drive, and it did a very good job of keeping me from getting pregnant. It also made my period lighter, less painful, & 3 days shorter. I remained on the pill for about a year and a half before I started experiencing bad nausea everytime I missed a pill & also got really bad anxiety in the end. Had to stop taking it eventually. Miss my boobs but not the nausea or anxiety"


"It is 4 am and I have meetings all day tomorrow. Thought I would get some relief and go ahead and use the monistat. I've used the 7 day in the past and have had no problems.  Well I've been awake most of the night with horrible itching. Should have just tolerated the YI for tomorrow!  Wish I had  read the reviews!"


"Simply not as hungry anymore and don't think of food. Have taken for 1 week and lost 3.8 lbs. This is the real deal. Don't feel wired like with other diet pills."


"I am prone to sinus infections. I get them on average five times a year. There are times where my nose is completely blocked and breathing becomes extremely difficult. I have tried endless OTC drugs, like Mucinex, Advil Sinus, vapor rub and even nasal sprays. None of those have helped on top of home remedies. I tried Sudafed for the first time about two years ago and with just one dose I feel like myself again! I have experienced some drowsiness with the medication, but I could still function and do my daily task."


"Had surgery 17 mths ago L2 -S1 bulging herniated discs & severe spinal stenosis. Doc scraped too close to spinal canal; had to repair spinal fluid leak. Ended up w/foot drop & severe neuropathy below knee to toes. Surgeon ordered Gabapentin b4 surgery; increased gradually out of desperation after surgery as pain unbearable. Is still bad 2 x's; often sign I've missed a dose. I take 200mg. 2x/day & 900mg @ bedtime, total daily dose 1300mg. I also take Baclofen & Meloxicam. I'll say I would be out of my mind from pain if not for Gabapentin. I've had some blurry vision early a.m. that hangs on for short time, probably from higher bedtime dose, but otherwise no problems. I'm so, so thankful for this med."


"I had sex on July 5 and I was out of town I came back home on the 7 and I took next choice that day I started to feel sick like if I was having my period but I didn't, by July 25th  I did apply pregnancy test and it came back positive.  When I was 18-20 week's I had a ultrasound and the baby was smaller than it has to be by week 23 the doctor found out that the placenta wasn't working like it suppose to, by week 30  I deliver my baby by a c-section and he  passed away 30min later :("


"I'm 13 and in the middle of my 3rd month! My skin is the best its been in 2 years. I have some scars but the Accutane is getting rid of them but I still wear cover up just because I'm so used to it. I started my treatment a day before thanksgiving and I'll be ending it in April! Although it's a hassle to get blood drawn and do the pregnancy test it's worth it! I recommend this for anyone who has annoying acne and has tried everything out there (literally). This is the best medication ever. I love my skin now."


"I took Sprintec for 6 months and finally had to get off of it.  I had horrible mood swings, started getting bad acne, weight gain, and my periods were heavy and I never new when it would start.  One month it would start while I was on the regular pills still, the next month it would start the last two days of the sugar pills.  The worst thing was the mood swings.  On my other pill I had tried, I never had that problem."


"I'd switched to Viibryd from Effexor XR October 21,2013. Transition was fine, 10 mg dose for a week  I felt great..better than in years..up to 20, amazing..few side effects, soft multiple stools..not much more. Was going to stay at 20mg until I started having random anxiety attacks throughout the day. So took it to 40mg..what a nightmare! I turned bipolar, paranoid, and more anxiety. Back down to 20mg, was better for a bit, but now I have diarrhea daily and having 3am panic attacks. Seeing doctor this week, getting off Viibryd..sigh. I really wanted this one to work."


"No side effects only taking 10 mg

Results have been excellent"


"I find that clonzepam works really well for generalized anxiety but if I do have a panic attack, then it doesn't do much. When I first started, I was prescribed .5 2x a day and then 1mg of Xanax as needed for panic (15 a month). This was a great pairing, but the withdrawal was long and awful when a new doctor took me off the drugs cold turkey! Needless to say, I am no longer a patient of hers. I was prescribed .5 2x a day again and it reduces my anxiety without making me less "sharp." Tolerance does build fast and, when I was on a strict schedule, if I missed a dose I was a nervous wreck. I now take it as needed but I may have to increase the dose soon because .5 doesn't work like it used to."


"I used this to handle my breakup depression. It gave me enough mental relieve to get over the suicide thoughts I had been having and now I feel better."


"I have tried one other type of birth control and it didn't work and I have been on Loestrin for almost 2 months and I have mixed feelings on it. I do get spotting and minor cramps throughout the entire month. I got very sick when I started to take it so I lost a bit of weight. But it has made me very tired and very hungry although I haven't actually gained any weight. I am a teen that has had VERY bad cramps and VERY heavy bleeding and while it helps with the bleeding, the cramps aren't much better. It is most definitely a pill that you have to take same time everyday. No waiting 10-20 minutes because you will have spotting. "


"I had a UTI not too long ago, and I was prescribed Macrobid. I did not have any crazy side effects. Unfortunately I get them frequently and just started a new round of Macrobid, and this time has been nothing but bad news. I am on day 5 of 7 and I have been extremely nauseous, dizzy, and tired along with sharp abdominal pain. The UTI isn't as severe anymore but I feel like it hasn't been as effective and that it's still lingering. I made sure to eat a decent meal before and drink plenty of water, I think that it's just not reacting well with my system. I am definitely stopping after today and going to the doctor to figure out a new solution."


"I got this after my son was born. I got it put in mid-Nov 2012.  I had a short one half month without a period, on and off regularly for one month and now I have had one for going on two months.  I am always tired which could be the new baby but he is pretty much the best part of my life so I don't know about that. My hair also fell out but that is also a sign of coming off the prenatal vitamins. I am increadably moody. I fell disengaged at work. I have not had a problem losing weight on Weight Watchers since I started it but I do eat much less now"


"I started with a sample from my doctor. After using daliresp I didn't notice any change in my breathing
after only 4 days I realized I didn't use my nebulizer as much. I can't believe this little pill could help so much..Bravo. Only problem I won't be able to get another prescription due to the high co pay, what a shame. I do recommend this medication highly."


"I was glad to read different experiences with this medication, observing side affects and negative reactions. I can't look at a boat, roller coaster, or backseat of a car without immediate nausea. I've used Transderm Scop patches on several occasions and they worked very well with no sign of motion sickness whatsoever. My side affects were mild compared to others--typical dry mouth, slight euphoria, mild giddiness, mild drowsiness. I was careful not to drink much alcohol and to leave the patch on for a day after the expired amount of time as not to shock my system. TS can be expensive. Has anyone used the generic brand(s)?"


"After using Protonix for years I am finding that one chewable Pepcid in the morning and another at night is working great!"


"I was prescribed Nexium 40mg approx 2 years ago at our local hospital after being diagnosed as having a quantity of small duodenal ulcers. No side effects were evident for the first week or so but then I started to feel aches and pains all too easily, later developing mood swings, quite extreme at times. I informed my doctor who dismissed my claims,( I do not lie! )After just under the two years of taking Nexium, I decided to take things into my own hands, I discovered Slippery Elm capsules. I am now into my fifth month of taking only one capsule a day having weaned myself off the Nexium, interspersed with Slippery Elm in the first week. I now have no side effects and with care have little or no acid indigestion."


"I have been on the pill for a month now. I've been experiencing headache's for the past week and been very nauseated. I will disregard the pill until I have a talk with my doctor."


"Wow.Doc says try this its new. Today-Sunday.Started 20mg Thursday, that afternoon experienced tingling in my mouth and tongue.Thought it was my Mexican lunch, paid it no mind.That nite woke up several times dripping in sweat, showered @ 1:30am and again 4 am. Miserable. Thought OK gotta adjust.. Took 20 mg again Friday am.. My day was horrible. Hot and cold sweats, heart racing. Called outta work. Again real bad nite. Sat took 40mg. 11am the tingling and sweats were severe. Went to ER, doc said go home & stop taking meds.huh? All day I felt nervousness. I was freaking out. never in my life had a reaction to ANYTHING. Bad nite again .Sunday am wake up no meds.Tingling has subsided a bit,very nervous though so called my doc. Waiting 2hrs now"


"Augmentin makes me completely sick! I must be like the 1% who is allergic to it! I always have to list it as an allergy and make sure something else is prescribed instead of this!"


"My experience with this med so far has been good, 2 weeks on 2mg. My anxiety is already way down, and the vivid, intrusive thoughts are not quite as bad. My sleep is also much better. It makes me very relaxed and drowsy about an hour after I take it, and I wake up a bit groggy, but coffee gets me going. No problems with sex which is good. I have also experienced a loss of appetite and have lost some weight (I am overweight so this is good). So yeah, losing weight, still have libido and much better sleep.  Wish it could go just as well for everyone. Only side effect is a stuffy nose for a few hours after I take it, but I can handle that.  First few days were a bit scary as I felt like I had been given a tranquilizer dart lol."


"The shot is a very good deterrent for me. I am being forced to undergo 6 months of injections against my will. My drug of choice is Oxymorphone (Opana), and Oxycodone 30mg . I've been using for about two years before I got locked up for 5 months. Got out, did okay for about a month then relapsed. Before I knew it I was doing pills everyday...again. Went to rehab about a month after my first relapse, did the 30 days there and probation forced me to make Vivitrol part of my recovery plan. First shot was horrible at first, I was clean for 27 days before I got it but once injected I started getting light headed. Then came vomiting, stomach cramps, and pretty bad migraines. I'm getting shot number two in about 5 days."


"Had horrible anxiety upon waking up for the first two months.  But it took Lexapro (15mg) 3 months before I got the full effect and am much better now!  Dr also prescribed Seroquel to speed things up.  Give this medicine time, it takes longer than the average 4-6 weeks as stated.  I felt a difference within a few days."


"I was suffering from acne since 12 years. Now I am 27. I had took various costly treatments including chemical peeling and other cosmetic treatments. When I was 25 my skin specialist suggest me Yasmin. I took it for 11 months, in first month I had little bit headache and nausea but in second month there was no discomfort like that. In third month my face was almost clear and at the end (11th month) my skin started glowing there was not a single acne or marks on my face. Friends started asking about my glowing skin. I did not gain weight. But I stopped taking Yasmin after getting glowing skin within on year acne came back. Now I am starting it again. "


"Okay first 48 hrs. Then hives and welts over chest and trunk area and neck."


"12 weeks and no change. The most expensive weight loss medication I have taken even with the card. Constipation and frequent need to urinate."


"Physician changed rx from oxy 10 to embeda 30. This is an effort to reduce CH along with migraines.

I feel little results after2 months"


"Been on Contrave for one month exactly as of yesterday. I've already lost 14 pounds. Not sure really how that's working due to the fact it has not one time curb my appetite. I am however extremely tired. At times it's so intense that I can't stop yawning for an hour straight. I will continue this product, because the reward seems outstanding at this point."


"I just began taking Amitiza and had immediate results. I've stuggled with this condition all of my life.  No side effects except I feel a bit tired. If that's all I have to deal with, that's fine with me. The alternative is much worse."


"I have been taking Meridia for about 3 weeks now. With diet and exercise, I have lost 9 pounds. It is great and really curbs my hunger and cravings. I really like it."


"Caused side effects like erectile dysfunction and it took a while to work.  Also felt a little dizzy taking this."


"This medicine has given me my life back. I no longer worry about knowing where every rest room is wherever I go. My only side effect is a headache the day after the injections."


"I'm a healthy 33 year old male. I have been taking 200mg of Zoloft for over 10 years for depression and my sex drive and erections have been getting weaker and weaker. I decided to ask my doctor and was prescribed 5mg of Cialis for daily use. I took the pill as soon as I got home. My girlfriend came over 2 hours later and I had one of the best erections since I was a teenager!!! I couldn't believe it!!!! The erection lasted long enough for her to "finish" and then I started going soft. I'm sure it will take a few days before it reaches maximum effectiveness. I am so surprised and the immediate results. I was really losing hope. I experienced minor muscle pain and a slight headache, but I hear these go away after continued use. I'm so happy!"


"I'm halfway through week nine on this medication and have no complaints at all. I've had absolutely no spotting or cramping. I had bad hormonal acne before starting this pill (I was not on any birth control prior to taking Amethia) but now I rarely break out except for a few stress related pimples in the past couple of weeks. I haven't had a period on this yet, but so far my body has taken to this medication very well. No weight gain or mood changes either that I have noticed!"


"I experienced depressive episodes once every 10 years or so, 18 months duration. When my husband died suddenly of coronary problems in '89, I was in a down stage--which didn't change until the Dr. and I found Lamictal. Tried 11 meds before without result, still locked into depression. Was tired or hyper while we worked out the dosage. Very slight hair loss was a small price to pay for a new life! Friends even remarked on the favorable attitude change. I can't thank the developers enough and it's a shame it doesn't work for all bipolar II sufferers!"


"I've used this drug for 14 years. I developed severe tinnitus.  The drug (per research at Oregon Health & Sciences Univ Tinnitus Clinic) seems to reduce the loudness I experience and was given me originally to reduce anxiety about head noise enough to let me sleep.  I began taking 1 .25 mg tab per night. 14 years later I take 3 .25 per night to sleep. I take "drug holidays" every 3 monhs for a week.  Side effects do occur if you do not progressively reduce dose as you go   I've had no side effec"


"Was bribed with a 20$ smiths gift card and free depo to use depo and be a depo guinea pig.  I started depo march 31st 2016. The first month no problems. Second month, spotting and a light period every other day. Third month, mood swings, hormonal acne, heavy periods, nausea, vitamin deficiencies, low on iron. One day I put a super tampon in with a pad under it, went to work right after and bled through my underwear and pants at work, this was not even ten minutes after getting to work. Had to go home very embarrassed. Soaked through pad after pad after pad. Again had to leave for very light headed and nauseas, found out I my vitamins were low. Bled the entire third month. So I decided not to get the second shot. Have been bleeding sinceJune"


"I have been on Avonex for about 5 years and have had no relapses. Have had Multiple Sclerosis for 14 years. Great to have 1 injection a week rather than 3 with Rebif, which I was on before or Copaxone everyday. The only drawback is the headache & tiredness felt the day after. These symptoms have not improved at all for 5 years. Starting having spasm attacks at night recently so might change to another medicine. Very effective medicine though, never had any relapses and that's the most important thing!"


"This, most of the time, is the only antibiotic that works for me. I get bronchitis and sinus infections almost every year. I get no side effects from Levaquin. If you do, discontinue use and call your doctor. I am allergic to penicillin, so I am limited to which antibiotics I can take."


"First time on birth control and was nervous that I'd have the horrible side effects that I've heard about online and through friends. Went on Apri and have never had ANY side effects (nausea, weight gain, etc.).  I think that the horror stories you hear are the exception, not the rule. My Dr. said that she's prescribed Apri for first time birth control users for years and has never had any complaints about it. Got it for $15/month at first and am now paying $25 through WalMart. Other than the disappointment in price increase, I think that I will be taking Apri for a long time."


"Before Mononessa I tried 4 different birth controls (can't remember the names) but all of them gave me bleeding constantly, it was horrible.  Finally I tried Mononessa. It's helped so much, my periods are much lighter, no more acne, and I didn't experience any weight gain like the other reviews I have read.  Also it is a lot cheaper. This pill is the one I've been needing."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"I've had some stomach pain but nothing like before I was diagnosed. The taste is getting really bad in my mouth - I'm on day 7 but I just keep drinking water to get rid of the taste..it's like zingy, metal taste, raw like I burned my tongue of coffee. I do have cramping about an hour after taking but then it goes away. I have more bowel movements but I assume it's just the meds working. It's almost over. Hopefully I never have to do anything like this again.  I'm no longer tired, groggy, no energy - I feel fantastic - I had no idea it was the infection making me so ill."


"It makes your acne worse for a while , if you have dark spots it's going to make them darker. But fast forward 2 mnths later ( time may vary the more you use it the faster your skin clears up ) my skin is clear, only use it at night time , my dermatologist recommended me to put it on for 5 mins then wash it off , the next day 15mins the day after that 30 and so on, now I just keep it on over night . Make sure to go to a dermatologist to give you products that work with it , and if it is useful for your acne or not ."


"Put it this way, I've no intention of ever coming off Pristiq. Almost a year and I'm a new woman. It was my first 4th dip of rock bottom but I won't have another one.
Depression has such a stigma!
What about 'neurotransmitter condition'
!!!"


"I have only been taking Celexa 20mg for about a week.  My only complaint is that it makes me EXTREMELY drowsy like a Zombie and slight stomach cramps so I started taking it at night and I am considering cutting the tablet in half.  However, I have had depression for most of my adult life and like others I was against medication but I could not take it any longer.  I do feel a slight improvement I am not numb anymore but I think I need to give it more time to get the full effect."


"I'm 22, male, with major depression, have been taking Effexor XR for over a year. Has partially helped, I still suffer from anxiety, lack of motivation, mood swings and seems like its changing my personality. The withdrawal symptoms are the worst. Missed 2 days of my dose and feeling sick."


"Extreme stomach upset with vomiting. "


"I have had this birth control in my arm for 3 weeks now I do not like it. About a week after I had it put in I have been getting headaches, I break out on my face and very bad mood swings I have turned into a total b*tch and get upset very easy and that is not me at all and not to mention I usually have my period 4/5 days it's now going on 10 days, also the implant has moved to the injection point in my arm not sure if that's good or not but I don't like it so I'm getting it taken out next week."


"Xanax was a God send when I was in a terrible car accident and lost my best friend. I knew that it was a controlled substance, so that made me wearly. I recently got into a relationship, and my boyfriends whole family is highly addicted to Xanax. They are prescribed them, buy them off the street, and so on. They fight each other for "bars" and pay a fortune for them. The family is a complete wreck. family members had forgotten important things, like family matters, misplacing wallets, purses etc... even getting into car accidents while they're on them. They helped me when I took them as prescribed, but seeing how my boyfriends family act while on the drug, I would be careful."


"Day and night difference!  All the redness and the red veins are gone!  My skin looks fantastic!"


"I received my implant in December 2013 after having my son in May 2013. The 1st year was great, no side effects at all. The next year however, has been terrible. The first terrible side effect, I have been on my cycle for a full 3 weeks and still counting. 2nd, my hair has begun to shed. 3rd, the weight gain is out of control. No matter what I do to lose weight, it doesn't happen, it's like I'm stuck at this weight. Because I got on shortly after having my son, I haven't even had an opportunity to drop the baby weight. It's a great method because you don't have to worry about anything for 3 years, but it just doesn't  work for me. I desire to lose at least 30 lbs, have a full head of healthy hair, and a cycle once a month for about 4-7."


"Although my dentist and doctor both agreed that I could take amoxicillin at the same time as Bactrim, I ended up with terrible spasms and diarrhea."


"Took it for 3 days, then noticed on 3rd day I lost 2 pounds. Thing is I get straight paranoia, accelerated heart beat..anyone else dealing with this? Will it fade with continued use?"


"It really works. I wish I had known about this years ago. I feel better now than I did when I was 20 yrs old."


"Really happy with this pill.

I had been on cerazette which caused 3 months of continual spotting.

As soon as I switched to micronor it stopped and now I only get 2 days of light bleeding a month, with no adverse side-effects. :)"


"I noticed after I had finished my chemo and got rid of my hep c type 6c . I started seeing lots of hair on the bathroom floor after blow drying. It was coming out in droves, mainly from the front and sides . This was in 2012, sep My hairline was receding, I started getting bald spots in the front and sides.  I also noticed that my hair was  very weak.I started using Rogain 2012 I saw an advertisement about Rogine for men. I was 63 at the time . Before my chemo I had lots of hair. When I picked up the box I read on the box that it will not grow hair on the frontal lob. I said to myself this will work, the same way I said about my chemo. Well it did work front and sides. Made my hair stronger too"


"I wanted it to work so bad that I almost believed it was working. However, I am an extreme case so I should have known it wasn't.
So I looked up the ingredients and laughed at myself for thinking it would work."


"I have been taking Ambien since it was   released to the public. I only use it occasionally. Sometimes I have a period of several days where going or staying asleep is a problem, then no need for weeks. I have never had any after or side effects from taking Ambien. I feel it is, for me and my condition, the best medication on the market."


"I (man, 50) have struggled with severe generalized hyperhidrosis since I was in my early thirties. I started on 2 Ditropan tablets a day, and after just two or three days the problem was 99 % gone. It still is, 6 months later. No more changing of clothes two times a day, no more distracting and at times crippling sweat attacks at work, socially etc. To me, this is a miracle drug. Yes, strong words, but my life quality has been immensely improved. Mild constipation is the only side effect, it seems to be alleviated when I reduce to one and a half tablets, so will try that. In Norway, you need to ask your GP to refer you to a dermatologist who can write prescriptions and follow you up. I recommend anyone with similar problems to try this."


"I'm on my fifth day, 5mg. Side affects too unbearable to try and continue to see if the affects subside. Unbearable nausea, diarrhea makes it impossible to leave the house. I was hopeful this medication would be beneficial I've tried so many without success."


"I am beyond happy that I made the switch. I was on the pill prior to my new IUD and I had the worst PMS and mood swings imaginable. I always felt depressed and this constant dread that hovered over me. I was always hungry, I gained 15lbs when I went on the pill. My gyno highly suggested the skyla. I finally went through with it. Insertion pain was excruciating, I will not lie about that.  But...It was worth it, at least for me. I had severe pain for the rest of the week with very light spotting. Cramps that would not go away no matter how many pain killers I popped. But after the first week it was smooth sailing. I feel better mentally and appetite has decreased dramatically. I feel zero pain or discomfort. Highly recommend the skyla IUD!"


"After 1 shot started diarrhea, scalded my skin and it  made open sore. Lower right back started hurting. Day 17 I'm waiting on blood work before I take a second shot and my neck at the base hurts. Weird pains I'm not used to that hurt and affect my life quality. Can't take statins. Don't  think I'll ever take another shot of Repatha.  If it messes with your liver it can kill you. Will walk at least 60 minutes a day every day. Continue watch fat and trans and cholesterol.  Last shot 27 days ago. Between initial post and now, I'm still nauseated. Loose bowels every time I eat I have to go. Can't go anywhere. And physically irritating. Still knees and back pain and behind my eyes, trouble swallowing, body spasms. Still so tired and no energy and have trouble."


"I've taken Loratab 10/500 for about 3 years for osteoarthritis in the knees and I don't know what I would do without them. I was taking them prior to my knees being replaced and still take them for hip pain. The only negative side effects I've noted is occasional constipation, which is consistent with any narcotic. I take 3-4 every day, but I have begun to notice that they are not as effective as before. I'm sure I'm developing a tolerance to them also. But I would recommend them for chronic pain for anyone who can tolerate them."


"Yup, it tastes foul but you knew that already. Unfortunately I didn't read these reviews until after my first dose and didn't think to chill it prior. Big mistake, I'd rather eat liver and onions for a month than taste this evil concoction at room temperature again. Took my first dose at 5pm after a liquids only diet all day. No bloating on the first dose and very light nausea. Took about an hour to kick in then the fun began. Major gas at first - even the dog left the room - then the 15 second dash to the loo every ten minutes for FIVE hours. I'm not exaggerating in the least. Second dose at 10pm was even worse. Finally got to sleep around 4am for a 6:30am procedure. Does it work? You betcha but it is not pleasant."


"I have never had a problem with my skin until I hit my second semester of freshmen year at college. I broke out horribly and I never felt more insecure. I tried many different remedies but nothing worked. It wasn't until the beginning of October when I started epiduo and it has been a journey since then. My skin became red and broke out more and I was beginning to think, "this isn't working." It wasn't until I hit the end of the third month when my skin completely cleared up. I have the occasional break out of one or two pimples but they go away within a few days. Epiduo has changed my skin and I have never felt more confident. I can actually leave my house without makeup! It takes time but this product DOES work."


"40mg latuda Makes my arms hurt. Makes me feel high like a zombie take it at night only. I been getting a lil snappy towards people. I take trazadone 150 mg at night to sleep. Also take hydroxyzine 25mg as needed for anxiety. Bipolar I diagnose. . I hate meds..."


"Started this medicine, 37.5mg on Saturday September 23 at 285lb and as of today September 26 I have lost 5 lbs.  I had gastric bypass and lost over 100 lbs., but then stalled due to I'm sure my bad habits starting again.  I still can't tolerate sugar, but for some reason carbs love me.  So my doctor wanted me to try this to push start my weight loss  process again and even though I know in my mind what to do I'm glad this pill is helping me to get back on track.  I was given a one month supply and will follow up with my doctor in a month to see if it's working and then he will give me another prescription.  Only side effects I have noticed was a little dry mouth on the first day and I was up till 4am.  I haven't started exercising yet."


"My son is 14 and has suffered with OCD for 2 years. Lexapro made him a happier obsessive with extreme gas but OCD symptoms no better. Anafranil has been great. Has fewer obsessions with less anxiety. It's an older drug you have to ask for."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I wish I'd known this page was here before I started this ordeal. I was instructed to drink a bottle of magnesium citrate the evening before. Then around 10 AM I drank the first bottle of Suprep, mixed with water. After the first couple of swallows, I couldn't hack the taste, and started to chase it with (pulp-free) orange juice. I thought it tasted rather like toxic waste not quite camouflaged with chemical cherry flavor. I got it all down, and trips to the WC lasted about five hours. At first, it was every 3-5 minutes, then less often. It was like liquid fire. There was no color anymore in what I was expelling, and I made the executive decision not to drink the second bottle. My poor bum!"


"I'm on the 3rd day of the 5-day treatment (2 pills on day 1 and 1 pill each of the next 4 days) and have had no bad side effects when taking this medication.  My bronchitis finally seems to be clearing up and I'm pleased with this medication."


"My migraines are very bad. This is the only medicine that works for me and when it does not I take it with 2 Anacin and I'm perfect."


"I'm Taking Cymbalta for Anxiety And Depression It Makes Me A  Little Jittery And If I Don't Eat With It I Get Sick to My Stomach But I Feel Better Than I Have In A Long Time And Where I Was Using Food To Cope With The Depression This Actually Regulated My Eating So Now I'm  Eating Less With More Energy And Feeling Like A Million Bucks"


"WOW. The worst. I thought something was seriously wrong with me... I've only been taking this medication for ONE month and I literally have zero energy or motivation. I started googling depression and thinking back to why I would feel this way... all I want to do is sleep all day- whereas I am usually very energetic and excited about life. This shit has zapped all of that! I'm so glad I started reading about other peoples experiences.

I'm getting off this TODAY. DO NOT TAKE."


"I don't want to scare people off from taking this pill but in the short period I took this pill I had too many issues. I am a person who has great blood pressure. Immediately after starting I noticed my feet feeling swollen so I started taking my blood pressure. It was through the roof!!  I was having horrible crippling anxiety everyday for most the day and I already have depression and anxiety disorder.  I was bloated all the time.  I called my doctor and they told me to immediately stop the pills. I'm 37 and average weight. Birth control isn't worth having a stroke."


"It works well if you can stand the side effects; weakness in limbs, dry mouth/throat, constant sore throat that feels like strep and constant thirst. I had to quit and return to Flomax as it just makes me dizzy."


"Works well against nerve pain- and Interstitial Cystitis in particular.  Good stuff.  Does take some getting used to and will leave you groggy in the morning for the first few weeks."


"I started on Blisovi after the Junel brand switched to it, and before Junel it had another name. Contrary to most of the other reviewers, I have had a fairly easygoing time on this pill. No mood effects that I've noticed, no abnormal weight gain. and my acne is bad but it was that way before the pill- Blisovi has made it neither better nor worse. My periods are around 4 days. However, it has definitely caused nipple sensitivity/tenderness, so that's an issue as I'm in a long term relationship. That's the only side effect I've experienced thus far."


"I have been using Naproxen 500mg for a heel spur and it turns out it is working on my knee cap arthritis.  I eat well and then take the pill with milk so not to kill the lining of my stomach.  This pill is a wonder drug for treating arthritis especially on the knee cap.  I will have to tell my doctor when I see him for my last Orthovisc injection.  It has made a huge difference for me."


"This medicine works I recommend it to everyone. I have a hiatus hernia and I tell you is like I never had it. No pain."


"After holding on to the medication for about 3 weeks I couldn't believe the results after just one day and literally felt the effects hours after I took the medication. I did experience side effects far as the nausea, diarrhea, headache and dizziness but I found out after taking it the second day that it was only because I hadn't eaten before Celexa. I really see the difference I'm no longer stressed and depressed I do feel the difference and it's a really great medication. I was so iffy about taking depression anxiety medication however I'm so glad that I did."


"Wow these have to be the worse ones out there and I do have a low tolerance for antibiotics . But my god day 1 was fine and I thought ok these seem fine .. Day 2 woke up in the mornings horrible nasty metal taste in my mouth ... Gagged when brushed my teeth ... By 11am I was feeling really ill I was shaking I was panicky my eyes were blurry has palpitations ... By 12 I was back down the doctors I was even worse that I started .. Will not take these again ever"


"I have given a 5 to be netrual i gor my iud inserted today after reading reviews on herei took two cocodmol and two ibuprofen abiut 10 mins before going in, maybe not long enough to kick in i was pretty nervous the doctor asked the usual questions to update my file i then lay on the bed and she done a check. Then used a clamp which was uncomfortable she then jaged me with LA this did  give me cramp on my lower abdomen she then inserted a long white tube which again was uncomfortable and caused some cramp it wasn't sore though. However 20 mins after inserestion i did start getting bleeding and cramping about and hour or so later this settled down and i was aware of the bleeding still but the cramping wasn't to bad and came and went."


"I started Contrave in June 2017 with a weight of 319 lbs as of August 19 I'm down to 283 lbs. I have had nothing but success with this medicine. As far as side effects go the only thing was constipation and mild hot flashes. I would and have recommend this medicine."


"Take it for "shutting my brain down" at night so I can sleep.  Excellent medicine in that it's subtle and effective.  I notice that an hour after dosing I'm much more relaxed and slowing down but in a very good way.  Also in the morning I feel very calm again."


"i am 60 years old and had been sleeping12 hours per night with a nap sometimes for 3 hours. am i depressed or chronically fatigued? i have been taking nuvigil and now i sleep 9 hours a night with no naps. i am now more excited about life. side effects? an hour after i take it (one dose 200mm in the am) i notice an effect similar to one cup of coffee that lasts a half hour then nothing. cost is $390 for a thirty day supply. insurance won't cover it. medicare will not except for NARCOLEPSY. . THIS IS NOT RELATED TO RITALIN OR AMPHETAMINES AND HAS A VERY low abuse potential in spite of what you may hear from college students. as more info comes in it would not surprise me that this would be the first drug used in treating depression.  thanks"


"Since June 2017! I was scared after reading these painful insertion stories, but the actual insertion didn't end up hurting. Took two Motrin 40 min before and it was just a slight pressure for ~2 min. I had some spotting that day and mild cramping, but felt fine. I started spotting about a week after insertion; for a few months I spotted for a week every other week. By September, I was back to regular light periods. I've had no side effects besides feeling slightly emotional around my period.
My biggest comment is to remember that everyone will have a different insertion experience depending on pain tolerance, OBGYN, and your individual body. Talk to an OBGYN you trust and follow up if you're having excess pain or side effects. :)"


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"This is my fourth colonoscopy...hands down the best prep I've used! Only have to drink 5 oz of prep.. two times about 8 hrs apart...it does not taste bad...the others were horrible I gagged and vomited . Works quickly...so you're not up all night."


"I had no problems with Reclipsen. I've been on 3 different pills and had horrible side effects. I've had none with Reclipsen. It has worked very well for me."


"Silenor is helping me get a good night's sleep but I feel quite "out of it the next day"   My job requires intense focus and concentration and this medicine is having an adverse effect on both.  I'm not sure I can continue using Silenor."


"I have had the implanon now for 2 years in the beginning everything was good, the last year I have been suffering from horrible aniexty attacks not sure if its because of the birth control or not, I have been breaking out like crazy! I can go a month without a period then I'll have one then go a week without bleeding then start again for another week or 2, I have gotten to the point of always being nervous about driving going to work or even being surrounded by people which I grew up in and around a big family so not myself at all!! Hopefully soon I'll get it out and I will be back to myself !"


"It's good and light on eyes. My doctor prescribed it as I'm having a lot of secretions from my eyes in the morning. Patanol helped me and the good thing is it's safe to use long term."


"I too was was switched from orsythia without any notification. I figured it was the same thing so no biggie right?...wrong! This drug almost destroyed my life. I'm about to check myself into a mental institution. It made me so, so down, and gave me panic attacks. I'm so resentful to whoever switched this without telling me...do not use this drug!!!"


"The lack of semen freaked me at first but I got over it - it's like having a vasectomy my friends tell me. But my erections are just as strong and my orgasms are better. "


"I have only been using it a week. But it has made my age spots DARKER!!. Not sure if I should keep using it or not."


"Was given Reglan @ER for severe vomiting. My heart began to race & I felt extremely jittery & anxious. As sick as I was, I couldn't even lie down anymore, I was so "hyped up". They had to give me Ativan to reverse the effects of the Reglan. Never again."


"I've been on Remicaid for 4 years for UC. I am in complete remission...its unfortunate that it's an IV infusion, but I will gladly deal with this versus the effects of Ulcerative Colitis."


"Used it for scuba diving from a boat.  Before using meclizine, couldn't keep my stomach contents where they belonged.  Ruined several dive trips.  After taking 25mg, I got to watch the other divers handing over the boat feeding the fish with their breakfast. Heavy seas, no problem. Got it at Target."


"I just removed the ring after 3 weeks because after two weeks I started having hot flashes, low back pain and vaginal discharge. It has been 3 days now and the symptoms are abating. I did not like the bloat I was feeling and will go back to the Estrace cream, which is not as convenient but with which I did not have side effects."


"I've been on amitriptyline for one month now; it was given to me for migraine prevention and insomnia.

After the first few weeks, I filtered out the adjustment side effects and looked at what was left.  It didn't prevent migraines, it just delayed them.  Hit a trigger, get a quick pain blast, a tingle, and the migraine would set in a few hours later. 31 days, 16 with migraines.  A sleep efficiency of 52%, almost never in blocks lasting an hour, averaging just over 4 hours per night.  Raised blood pressure. Toward the end, walking black outs. In the 3rd week, starting having constant paranoia. The blackouts did it, though. I see the neurologist tomorrow and ask to be taken off; I'm worse on it than I was without it."


"My periods were for 7 or 8 days, and I was moody and emotional and made my boyfriend insane.  I think it made my hormones go crazy.  I was mean and angry for a whole week.  "


"Before starting Vivitrol 7 months ago I had been a heroin addict for a couple of years.  If you're clean for 10-14 days before you get your first shot I can almost guarantee you won't have any horror-story adverse reactions.  This drug saved my life; it took the choice out of my hands, forcing my mind to move on and buying me the time I needed to get my life together.  People are depressed and all because they can't get over not being able to use, that's not a side effect of the drug it's a personal problem.  I didn't experience a single side effect aside from some injection site soreness for 2-3 days after each shot - a small price to pay.  If you need this and can get it, do it."


"Did not work for me, caused worsening of Psoriasis. I developed Psoriasis lesions in areas I never had before. Very dissatisfied, I was hoping it would really help since I read a lot of successful stories. I have had Psoriasis for 23 years and treated it with topical steroids and moisturizers. 2 years ago I started Otezla which worked for about 18 months. I started developing lesions on my hands. Then after starting Humira I developed lesions on the bottom of my feet and palmar aspect of my hands.  Systemic medications have actually caused my Psoriasis to worsen. If you can control it with topicals avoid systemic medications.  I am regretting taking these medications, there is no going back now. Now topicals don't work at all."


"On a minimum dose had significant memory problems and depression (lost 16 pounds)."


"Drug relieves shortness of breath better than anything prescription, but the device to deliver is junk..also for some reason I also cough up BLOOD.   I wish I knew why. This is only time I see blood. Worried since old inhaler with same medication did not do this."


"It knocked me out but it works"


"I have 9 yr old twins who have ADHD. They've been on Concerta we are up to 36 mg and it was doing nothing. When they started having side effects - constant picking of scalp, sniffling, and puckering of mouth they were taken off. We then went to Adderall and they both got very aggressive. We are now on Ritalin 20 mg. One just started today so I'm not sure how it's going to go with him but the other has been on it for awhile and he's doing so good. He wants to take it, it makes him happy he says. Today when I took them to school he held his 5yr old brothers hand when they walked in. For some people that may not be a big deal but before he didn't want anything to do with him. He is very talkative on it but very sweet and helpful."


"Ladies calm down!! It will be ok!! I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on February 17. The next day within the 24 hour period I got my way. I had very bad back pains and abdominal pains. That last a few days. The next day I took my way I had some spotting. I was expecting my period on February 25 but I didn't get it until today! I was so stressed out I even took a test. Ladies, your period may be late. It's normal. Don't worry. You'll be ok!! Such a weight off of my shoulders."


"I just finished my first week of the starter pack, and I had absolutely no side affects. I take even my vitamins with food, and I think that's the key. I am 51, and have worked out nearly every day since I was 24. The last 4 months I could not even walk around my yard and gained ten pounds. I finally went to the doctor and after a few weeks, I was told it was Fibromyalgia. I never heard of it before in my life. I thought I had bad arthritis. Since starting the Savella, I have been able to do about 15 minutes of a workout before my ankles and back pain start up, but I do notice an improvement. I am very optimistic that this medicine is going to work for me.  Reading all these posts has been very helpful to me as well."


"Helped with cramping from opiate withdrawals for me!"


"My husband has been taking this for depression and anxiety for little over 3 weeks now...up to 40 mg.  The only negative is the diarrhea and nausea. This is extreme at the present.  The good thing is that he DOES feel better mentally and there is no sexual side effects (as it was with Zoloft).  I am HOPING the negative side effects go away soon."


"I used byetta it really took my huge appetite away"


"I have had this in for a year now, so given this a fair chance. It was all good for the first few months but then started noticing my Breast always gets sore a week before my period. so sore that it hurts taking and putting a bra on, also increased weight gain I have went to a size 12 to a 16 in trousers and uncomfatable bloating regularly, noticing incresed cravings for sweet things they can be so bad!! Feeling tired a lot! I will be getting this removed soon as I can't bare it any longer"


"I have been taking Kadian for about two years and it has been the only medicine that can manage my chronic pain. I was also taking several Vicodin daily prior to the use of Kadian.  Now I only take a Vicodin once in a while. I also have an implant in my spine for pain control but need Kadian as well.  I take 30mg once a day, at night.  When I don't take this medicine, I can not walk without a cane, so it also helps my mobility."


"By the third day that I have started this medication; I have now began to experience severe dizziness and horrible headaches. Blurred vision and nausea occurs when the dizziness and headaches are at it's peaking point.  The side affects are hard to deal with, and do not seem to be going away at all, but in fact seem to intensify."


"For those of you like myself that could not afford it go through the manufacturer  and you may qualify to get it free. They have been a life saver for me."


"Severe reaction, 48 year old male hospitalized for 4 days, tongue and lips swelled, body turned red, hives, severe perspiring trouble, blood pressure dropped 70/41, dehydrated. Was on this medication for 6 months, took medicine in morning had reaction 6 pm no warning."


"This is a hideous medicine! Do not try this useless stuff. The pain and cramps that last almost eternity are  not worth it. Just do not try it."


"Useless !!! I took it to my pulmonary doctor and told him nothing comes out. He said don't tip it that the powder will fall out. Well I kept paying for them trying to get some relief but never did. My copy being 40.00.  I just kept thinking I was imagining there was nothing there. I decided to open one that showed zero doses left to see if the meds was gone. Guess what all the med was still in it. No residue from the power anywhere except inside the area they put it it. This was like the 4 th inhaler I paid a 40.00 copay for. I feel like a repayment should be in order. That's not including all the freaking anxiety attacks I had trying to get medication out of these defective devices. My other powder inhaler Anita works great. Different device"


"This has been the only thing that worked for me."


"I tried Savella when it first came out and went off of it due to nausea. My doctor asked me to try it again so I did. I am now sleeping 2 or 3 hours at at time and having terrible nightmares. My blood pressure is normally 120/80 I went to a different doctor last week for another appointment and it was 168/100. Didn't know why until I read this article. Have terrible bloating. Disappointed."


"I became depressed  and pain pills were the only thing that made me feel good. But I started feeling guilty that i might have a problem. I didnt tell my dr. But after explaining why i was Depressed he put me on this medication and so far I have not craved any pain medicines and I have been losing weight which is also great because I'm overweight and it has me focused a lot more and I don't get sad as often I have notice that sometimes it will wear off but maybe I just need to up my dosage right now I'm only taking a 100mg Morning and night so 200 total"


"I have bursitis on my hip. Motrin, Aleeve didn't help. During first 12 hours the pain decrease a 50%, 80% decrease in 24 hours, no pain in 36 hours. Reducing dosage on third day as per medical indications."


"Hello Friends,
Well this is my 2nd day on Saxenda and all is well. This is not my first time around the bush, I am a young at heart 61 year old. I tried many many weight loss aids over the years. Victoza, powders, etc.....
But something happened to me yesterday when I took my first dose of Saxenda, I got a tingling feeling that went all over my body. Which was very surprising to me. My beginning weight is 218.0 and I'm praying that  I can loose 75 lbs that would be a dream come true. I'll be 143 my goal weight. I noticed the weight made me get chicken neck, and my eye lids started drooping over my eyes. That made my sad, I want to get healthier I started walking and eating better so hopefully this time I can make it! Please wish me luck <3"


"Hi, I loved this product, it did get too pricey, BUT I found out if you get it at planned parenthood its only $25! Hope this helps !!!"


"I took just one 50 mg tablet for shoulder and upper back pain in the evening.  I woke up with a migraine type headache. I am not likely to take anymore. I had no problems with Darvocet, but they took this medication off the market."


"I'm a 37 year old male and have been out of the game for a couple of years. Now I have met this super hot sexy girl and had issues with anxiety the first time we got intimate. Embarrassing and discouraging. So now I got some Cialis and we tried again the second time. All I can say is THANK YOU Cialis. This stuff really works. The great thing is that I lasted for an hour (never before) giving her ultimate pleasure which in return gave me the greatest joy."


"I'm 48 and it makes me feel 20 again "down there". I take 25mg on an empty stomach pre-dissolved in water and it works in 10 minutes. Side effects have been very mild..
stuffy nose and an occasional light headache. Allows me to be very effective for about 4 to 6 hours with a quick recovery time. This is a great medicine, but don't overuse. Taking it everyday is not as sweet as once or twice a week."


"I have been on Celexa (30-60 mg) since 1997 and never had any trouble with it more than dry mouth which I can live with. No weight gain, no headache, no problems with sleep or other side effects related to SSRI."


"I get bad anxiety and panic when I am alone at home and it gets dark. Feel REALLY claustrophobic and can freak out badly. I started to take high doses of  my amitriptyline to try and knock myself out in total desperation. I didn't care about the risks I just wanted the horrific feelings to go away. My GP prescribed 5-10mg of diazapam which I only take when things become unmanageable! It has amazing results. Am home alone now, it's dark and I feel quite comfortable. It really has saved my sanity and my life as I couldn't have gone on much longer like I was. Miracle drug "


"Excellent finally some relief!"


"Cough Variant Asthma: It worked better than all the medicines I have taken, but I can no longer find it.  I had a noticeable improvement."


"I am on my third day, the panic attacks have already got less. I feel dizzy all the time hoping this will get better. I am a 53 year old male."


"Inderal is a really great alternative to benzodiazepines for anxiety and panic attacks. I have generalized anxiety disorder and am prone to having panic attacks, especially in high stress situations that I can't get out of right away. I am prescribed 20mg to take as needed, up to three times a day. When I have my panic attacks, I fear that I might have a heart attack or some bad heart problem because my panic makes my heart pound so hard and fast. Inderal is a beta blocker that blocks adrenaline, so when I take it, my heart slows down a little and doesn't feel as though it is pounding in my chest. It doesn't remove my panic completely but it prevents my anxiety and worries from building. I like Inderal because it is safe and not addictive."


"I love this. It is the ONLY thing that has ever cleared up my acne (face and body) completely.  I've tried Proactiv, Retin-A, salicyclic acid products, benzoyl peroxide products, the sun, avoiding the sun, only skin-healthy foods, enough sleep, etc., etc. and nothing works long term consistently.  Life is just miserable when you have to show a pimply face- you are perceived as ugly and not clean.  I'll take the risks of too much antibiotic use over being treated poorly for my appearance."


"Iam 35 yrs old,&was addicied to pain killers for10yrs.When i heard about suboxone 3-31/2 yrs ago Ihave been taking 2 8mg ever since.I highly recomend it to anyone who's addicted to all pain pills.you dont hav to be on it as long as i have,but it sure feels good to be at a norm everyday, instead of a rollar coaster."


"I started having terrible sleeping issues due to some life events. I saw the commercials on TV about it and talked to my doctor about it. Plus I read it didn't have the crazy side effects of other sleeping pills. It came across as perhaps a lighter sleeping pill. I got a prescription for 3mg and the first night I took it, about 5minutes later I got this terrible taste in my mouth, very bitter. For the ladies, Id describe it as having fingernail polish on and biting your nail, that taste. I grabbed some spearmint candy I had and sucked on one of those and that helped SO much! By the time I finished the 2nd one I was almost out of it and completely asleep. I did that for a week but now I dont even taste it anymore. Been using for 3 years now!"


"CAREFUL! Warning that you can become drowsy the next day after using this product.  Falling asleep at work, or while driving because the narcotic is too much.  If you're able to be passive with just a glass of wine, think seriously before taking the full teaspoon.  Talk to your doctor if you feel unusually tired because of the Tussionex."


"Yikes! I don't like taking medication of any kind. I've had a frozen shoulder for 8 months and am ready to gnaw off my own arm from the pain and lack of mobility. My PCP prescribed this for shoulder impingement.

 I took half of a 10 at 8 pm and slept all night. I do have a very dry mouth and feel hung-over this morning. I'd reserve this for bedtime use only."


"i took zyban 5 yrs ago after less then 2 weeks cigs tasted like sh//////t then went for 5 weeks without the ever touching a gig then the misses left me so i started again i was smoking so heavy that now i find it hard to breath

i did try champix bit it did nothing for me no urge to stop what so ever im now back on zyban and as i aint got a missus thats less stress for me to worry about

im only on day 4 now it took about 10 days last time b4 i hated the taste of a cig and was butting them out half way through so im guessing 14 days that is my quit time hopefully they will like sh////t b4 then i need to give up so bad

my lung has collapsed 3 times still smoking at 60

as for side effects i had none"


"Over the years I have taken a number of different drugs and combinations of drugs for depression. By far the worst side effects I have ever experienced were associated with Abilify. The muscles in my legs became so stiff that walking anywhere was slow and painful. I felt nauseous all the time and several times experienced acid reflux. There was the constant feeling of needing to move and involuntary jerks of arms and legs. Sometimes my legs would shake uncontrollably. It took a while for these side effects to subside after coming off the drug. It's really good to see that this drug has helped so many people but it's not for me!"


"I've been through several medicines including Abilify,  Zoloft, clonazepam, Seroquel, Ativan, and several others. and this medicine it the most wonderful of all of them.   With Paxil I feel so calm and just even toned. Is it possible something actually can work. I'm thinking genius! I can't thank you enough."


"I bought the 3 day one.It totally sucks the first night! I was balling and couldn't get comfortable because the burning was so bad!! The next day it was better. I did it again tonight and it hurts but not as bad as the first. I currently have a wet washcloth with ice in it on my vagina with some pressure. It helps a bit. It definetly is a good product but it hurts SUPER bad!!"


"This isn't my first time using this brand. All I can say is it made me want eat all day everyday. Made me nauseous but started taking it at night and that helped . It also gives me horrible mood swings during my period."


"The Nexplanon was seriously so wonderful in the beginning! No headaches, no weight gain, no bleeding, and my sex drive increased which obviously I wasn't complaining!
I didn't bleed for the first 4.5 months! I was so excited. Then the 5th month came rolling around and I bled for 3 months straight! I woke up one morning at 8:20 am soaked through my super tampon by 9:15, here recently I went through 96 tampons in a 17 hour period. Ugh! Not to mention the pain during intercourse! The pain gets so intense I start balling during sex, which upsets my partner because he thinks he is hurting me. I have no  appetite to eat, and I am extremely tired all the time, I have no energy, and my bleeding is so bad. I do NOT recommend this birth control!"


"I have taken it for a week now on a start-up schedule, for my peripheral neuropathy in my feet, hands and face and even my tongue. I have had great relief of the pain of my face and hands. My feet are much better, I still have to increase the dosage yet, to cover the in-between pain that comes back in the afternoons, currently I am at 1500mg a day, I expect that my dosage will be most effective for me at 2100-2400mg, and should not be more than I need for the elimination of the pain we all experience. My sleep has been better, usually I would be up all night in pain. Creams and NSAIDS don't help as good as the Gabapentin has. My motor skills has improved greatly, freedom of movement. I use a cane for balance."


"This medicine has allowed me to function. I haven been taking it for 3 years because I have adverse reactions to ASA and all NSAIDS. Chronic pain from rheumatoid/osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia,  cervical and lumbar injuries from auto accident.  I see a pain management physician for steroid injections when I need to and use Norco.  I may still have days where some tasks are a no go; some time limitations doing chores also. I adhere to the dosing schedules although the bedtime dose I cut in half for better sleep. This medication in combination with Cymbalta and an occasional Flexeril allows me to do much more during the course of a day. I am very happy about the low dose acetaminophen. I get regular blood studies."
