"Orthotricyclen is pretty bad, but this is the worst generic of it. As soon as my pharmacy switched to giving me this instead of Trisprintec, My side effects dramatically increased. I gained weight, had horrible mood swing and even had a blood clot in my leg from this pill! It nearly killed me!! It's claimed that generics are all the same, but that can't be true for birth control pills. Tripreventfem is the worst!! Do not take it if your pharmacy forces you to switch!"


"I first want to say that I read a bunch of reviews before starting Gianvi and became extremely nervous because of all the negatively. However, my experience has been absolutely wonderful, with only one complaint. I am on my third pack and am having the best periods of my life. Little cramps, no bloating, no mood swings, light flow, AMAZING! My mood overall has also been very positive. I'm much less stressed and don't feel as anxious. As for my skin, like my doctor said it did break out very bad at first, but it is clearing up. Also, my breasts have gotten noticeably bigger, which I love. My one and only complaint is I tend to be dry during sex, which has never been a problem before. But hey, there's things to help with that."


"I've always tracked my cycle very closely. This particular night I had unprotected sex I didn't look at my calendar until AFTER the fact. Lo and behold, it was the day of my ovulation! I took the pill exactly 8 1/2 hours after the incident. The first few days I felt no side effects. By day 5 still no side effects but I was a complete anxious mess! Day 6 & 7 I felt exhausted, and mild headache mostly due to stress. It's now day 8 and this morning I woke up with lower back pain, and cramping. I went to the bathroom and my period started! This was the worst week of my life & let me tell you, I have learned my lesson! I feel so thankful. I hope the pill works for you also. Sending positive vibes. *hugs*"


"I'm on week 3 of yaz and I can't impress enough how it has exacerbated my depression.  I am crying constantly, I'm getting cramps like there's no tomorrow and feeling nauseous randomly. I don't think regulating my period is worth the feeling of hopelessness, the lack of motivation and general low feeling I am emersed in after only 3 weeks!"


"I am on my second day of using naproxen due to my really bad period pain. I usually have to take time off work and am left crying in pain for the first few days of my period. So far, the only thing that naproxen has stopped for me is the pain that makes me cry. The pain is still very strong. "


"I was on Seroquel XR for the longest time and I was having really violent mood swings and always felt depressed. Even worse than when I started it but my doctor wouldn't take me off of it so I finally went to someone else and he put me on Saphris. I feel like a fog has been lifted from me. It's been so long since I have actually felt true happiness. The only downsides are that it's incredibly expensive and it gave me a lot of nausea and dizziness the first week I took it. I'm still new to it so I still have a little bit of dizziness especially in the morning but hopefully that will pass. I really don't want to have to switch again especially since this has been working out so well for my mental state."


"I had my Implanon inserted when I discovered I could no longer take estrogen birth control. The progesterone only pills caused me to bleed a lot, mainly due to the fact I HAD to take the pill at the exact same time every day, it was impossible for me. So that left me with an IUD or Implanon. It took nearly a month for the sensitivity to go away after the implant but since then I have had no issues. Only side effect I have noticed is spotting, normally just a little but it's constant. No regular heavy periods, no cramping, no hormone mood swings or weight gain. I think it's the best fit for me!"


"After my wife was taking Simponi for about a year under the direction of  her arthritis doctor, she came down with a rare neurological condition called CIDP (chronic inflamatory dimylating polyneurothapy) where she became almost totally paralized .   I think that the drug Simponi is very dangerous to take and she still can't walk after 2 years after stopping the drug.  She has to take infusions of IVIG  gamma globulin every third week to rebuild her nerves after the erosion of the myelin of the nerves took place.  This is a very serious side effect that no one has addressed.  I am sure that others have had this side effect hit them from taking Simponi.  We have spent over $200,000 in medical expenses toward my wife's recovery and will take at lease 1 to 2 more years for her to recover."


"I am having PCO problem for 2 years but when I started taking this medicine my periods were normal and I conceived within 4 months. The best medicine for women with PCO issues."


"The extended release oxycontin lasts longer and relieves the pain very well without having to take pain medication all day long. I have found it very effective with very little side effects."


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


"One month report - I had constant small bleeding for full month - now on month 2 and thinking I will not have any period. I plan to give the pill a full 3 months. But wanted to comment about continuous bleeding for first month, enough that you would need a pad or small tampon only. One side effect is I am having some constipation but increasing my water to help this. I will update my status after month 2."


"I feel so much better reading all the feed back. I am in the pits of despair from my 2 month break from Effexor. For 7 so years I have been on 75-150mg. My life was saved thanks to this medicine. Tried everything. But after seeing some friends get pregnant and lose it due to stopping medicines, I thought I'd ween myself off to see if I was "cured". No luck, I feel like things were really good for a month or so, but now can hardly work and feel anti social. I need to get back on asap, although I never was really happy with the sexual numbness and sweating. It was good to give it a shot but I will need to be on Effexor for life."


"I gave this medicine an 7 out of 10 because it really does work wonders for a BV.  By day 2 on this medication, any signs of a BV were completely gone!  However, what is causing me to not give it a 10 out of 10 is because the side effects are terrible.  All week long I have expirenced weird, painful headaches (almost like pressure on all sides of my head), nausea and occasional tingling in my hands.  OH and I've been EXTREMELY tired.  I wish my DR would of told me these were all common side effects.  Aside from all the negatives listed above, the meds work great for BVs.  Glad to be done!!"


"It's helped my paranoia, delusions, irrational thoughts, and impulses to self-injure and commit suicide more than anything else. Also helps control the hypomania because I'm not on a mood stabilizer. It just also makes me extremely tired and sedated and I'm constantly hungry and have gained a lot of weight on it. I've fluctuated in my dosage from 3 milligrams to as low as 0.5. Currently taking 2 to 2.5 right now."


"I was dealing with a migraine of all migraines. By the third day straight I could not even brush my hair due to the sensitivity of my scalp. My physician gave me the shot in my bum and with in 5 minutes my ears,  eyes, and temples were already loosing pressure.  By an hour pain free and have been for the past 3 days."


"My itching went down some after taking 10mg of hydroxizine, and that's good, but now I am totally awake, and will be for 36 hours or so, I can tell. That is how I react to Benadryl, but not to Allegra, which doesn't seem to affect my sleeping. The little bit of relief that I have gotten from taking it is not worth the complete loss of sleep. The prednisone I started today is working already, and I think I'll just take that plus Allegra until my rash goes away."


"Okay, first I will say the good. This medicine got rid of my depression for the most part very quickly. I had been cutting myself and was close to trying suicide, they switched my medicine to this and I was MUCH better. However.... every single time I take I end up insanely nauseous within minutes and end up throwing up for about three-four hours.

As much as the medicine helped, I am going to have to change it due to this because I can't spend hours throwing up every day while being a single mom trying to get things done."


"After 31 years of misery, countless amounts of medications and bad side effects, feeling completely hopeless, & like I would never be happy Topamax has already started to change my life. I suffer from PTSD, Anxiety/Panic, & Mood Disorder. Although it doesn't do a thing for my anxiety or panic the difference in my mood is like night and day. I can not believe how calm and patient I have become already taking this medication. It has saved my life & the people around me!!"


"I'm 5'2 145 pounds. I've been on this pill for only 2 days. 1 pill a day and I have anxiety really bad nauseous and dizzy. I have no appetite really. I think I need to stop this pill. Good luck to everyone that it's working for with no side effects."


"I have used this medication since the late 80's for migraines and it works wonders.  I have tried other medication and nothing works as well and fast as Fiorinal."


"I had the Implanon implant inserted in April of 2009.  I have gained 12 pounds. I can't lose the weight though I work out 3 to 4 days a week. I have ridiculous food cravings.  I can't eat enough carbs! My breasts stay so tender and I have zero sex drive.  This is horrible as I am a newlywed.  I started to spot so my GYN had me on the Vivelle Dot for 3 months. After going to the ER with a migraine, I stopped the estrogen patch. I have now been spotting for 6 weeks with weeks of significant bleeding. I can't wait to have this removed. Oh and did I mention the anxiety!"


"Been on weekly injections since Nov 2011. Have had no side effects, no flare ups, no joint swelling or pain. Totally keeping my RA at bay. My insurance and Orencia co-pay covered the total expense but now since my insurance changed January 2016, they will not cover it and insist I try Humira. I cannot take methotrexate (kidney issues). I am terrified they'd rather let me die due to cost than give me what has worked for over 4 yrs! My doctor believes totally in Orencia & so do i! I think it's the BEST out there!"


"This gel has been horrific for my skin. As a result of taking it I have come up with an allergic reaction on my neck and around my eyes which is so painful, itchy and red. I really wouldn't recommend trying it unless you are really desperate. I have read a lot of other reviews where people said this happened to them too - but the GP never informed me of the potential side effects."


"I have been on Seasonique for about a year now, and I need to get off of it immediately. When I start a new pack, everything goes great for the first 4 weeks. Once I hit the 5th week, I have non stop bleeding until I start an entire new pack. "


"Works better than the short acting benzo's like xanax and ativan. Stays in your system a good 12 hours and KEEPS my GAD at bay without having any panic attacks."


"I was on Loestrin 24. The side effects where horrible. I had everything from leg cramps, arm cramps, unbelievable mood swings to the point you wanted to hit someone, month long spotting and 24/7 nausea and weight loss. My doctor took me off it at the mention of leg cramps and put me on Sprintec. I was nervous because of the side effects from my previous birth control pill but have to say I'm in love! I have been on Sprintec for a year now with no side effects. I feel totally normal. Didn't even spot the first few months....YAY! I definitely would recommend anyone to look into this pill."


"I've been on ambient for a year.  When I first started taking it , it work great,  only thing I would wake up and eat during the night and not know it, the next morning I would find the evidence.  The past week I have got to where it's not working like now it's 4:30 am and I'm not asleep yet!!  I'm on 5m so wondering if maybe I should ask doc to raise it to 10. I'm just afraid if I go up 5 more if it will give me any weird side effects.  But I can't keep doing this, I need sleep!"


"I was put on Zoloft a few years ago when I became very depressed (I also have anxiety and have had it pretty much my whole life which made it worse) and I've been on it ever since. I feel much better now about myself and my perspectives on things however I don't know if it was from the drug, time or therapy especially because I was finally feeling more in control of myself and my thoughts last year. So if it was Zoloft then it took a while for it to kick in for me I guess ? My doctor did say that in some patients it does nothing and in others it does so who knows ! However whether It's working for me or not I feel good right now and it's not having any long term side affects on me so I can stay on as long as I want "


"I started 10 mg on Dec 19th and started a severe yeast infection Dec 25 and then into a Bacterial vaginitis. I have been treating this now since Dec 26th, and stopped the med with my doctors orders. I will never take this again. I have spent a fortune on OTC meds, with  poor results. Now doing steroid creams and will start antibiotics next week. This has been miserable  and my sugars are up because of the infections.

Just be careful with these new meds."


"Been taking this for a month now and I've lost 8lbs. Side effects are better sleep and positive overall feeling (Yes really). Anyone who is looking for a way to become healthier this is the first place to start along with exercise. This pill doesn't just melt the fat away but it encourages you to live a healthier lifestyle. It curbs your appetite and it seems to give me the motivation and self confidence I needed to take charge of my life."


"I started using another weight loss medicine on March 24th.  The first 60 days I lost 22 lbs.  During the third month I was not seeing any changes and switched to Adipex-P. I used Adipex for 45 days and have lost an additional 10-12 pounds. I did not experience any of the side effects or jitters except sleeping.  I tend to only get 6 hours of sleep a night."


"I CAN WALK AGAIN!!!  I had so much pain in my right knee, and nothing worked.  Can't take alleve.  I tried this and put on WAY TOO MUCH the first time.  Burned liked I was on fire.  After, I use in very mall doses, all I can say is IT WORKS.  Took pain away, and I can traverse the stairs, and walk with almost NO pain.  I like this better than taking pain meds.  I HIGHLY recommend this."


"This is great base/stable medication. I take it twice a day and have other medication for break through pain. I had 2 back surgeries and 20-30 epidurals. I'm young (less than 40). It is not cheap, but I find it worth the price. I am a lawyer and need to be quick on my feet. This medication does not weigh me down mentally."


"Started taking abilify and I noticed my mood became nothingness. I didn't feel happy nor sad. I just felt nothing. Has anyone experienced the same things? Prior to the feelings of nothingness, the night before (after a took it), I started becoming manic then about an hour later, I started becoming suicidal. Took Benadryl and became calm and sleepy. My manic and depression episodes were usually on a day-to-day basis whereas when I took abilify, it shifted within an hour or so.

Also, the side effects were so bad I couldn't get out of bed. Felt very dizzy with headache, wanted to puke, heart rate was faster than usual, loss of appetite, and weak (very weak)."


"Does absolutely nothing for me except make me a little dizzy. I'm in more pain now than before I started taking it.  Absolutely the most useless prescription I've ever had."


"It does work wonders but I kinda wish it could last for more hours."


"I was given Rx for lamictal when we finally discovered I had cyclothymic disorder vs. Generalized AD and MDD. I felt great on effexor xr for awhile, then was having severe anxiety  (I thought) which turned out to be a bipolar episode.  We added lamictal and decreased my effexor from 300mg to 150mg. Now I am able to recognize my cycles and take 150mg of effexor from October to march then 75mg effexor March to October. I take 150mg lamictal all year and 1mg klonopin at bedtime every night to sleep. I  am also allowed 1 klonopin daily as needed but rarely need to use that. Lamictal  is my wonder drug!!! After suffering for 20 years trying to figure out the right combination of meds to feel good I  am on track!"


"Dentist prescribed this after having 4 wisdom teeth extracted... this was a lifesaver.  Not only did it help the pain but it made me feel really relaxed and I was able to sleep very well through the pain."


"I started this medicine four months ago, and I've had the worst experience so far. My skin has cleared up and I haven't gotten pregnant, but otherwise the side effects are NOT worth it. I've gained 12 pounds since I've started, and I'm a petite girl who's weight never fluctuates. My face has swollen up like a chipmunk to where I can hardly smile anymore. I'm constantly bloated and there's no way to fix it. My sex drive has drastically decreased. Sure it's great I haven't gotten pregnant, but feeling so fat and bloated and insecure that it makes me want to stay inside and hide - NOT worth it!!"


"There are a LOT of people in this forum that are being extremely unrealistic about how this drug is meant to work.  This drug is meant to help you learn new eating habits and get you motivated to lose weight and get healthy.  Since 6/1/09, I have lost 23 pounds, and that is due not only to the appetite-suppressing effect of Phentermine, but I hit the gym HARD 4/5 times per week (and I have NEVER been an exerciser), and watch everything that I eat.  If you are using Phentermine to simply fast yourself thin, you will have a very hard time keeping it off once you stop the medication.  Take this opportunity to learn about nutrition and exercise, and make a permanent change for your health and for YOU!  "


"My cardiologist put me on Lexapro a year ago due to anxiety and heart palpitations.  I was very happy not to feel anxiety anymore and thought this is a miracle drug. Personally I thought I will stay all my life on Lexapro, this is how good it made me feel.  I slept well, I was very calm and was able to better deal with my chronic pain due to spinal cord damages. I blamed prednisone for my rheumatoid arthritis but when I found this board and read all of your opinions about Lexapro I realized what made me this way. I'm just not sure how I'll go off Lexapro."


"Unfortunately I had to be treated for chlamydia twice with azithromycin due to bad choice. The first time I took the 2 500mg tablets and I didn't have any bad symptoms, the second time I was prescribed the Greenstone brand packet and it is HORRIBLE. I took it without food at first and went out to eat maybe 20 minutes later my stomach was very VERY upset! It happened maybe 5 minutes after I started eating my stomach felt like it had cramps way worse than a menstrul. I pooped somewhat but my stomach was still not in a good condition. "


"Very good but caused cystic acne!! Very horrible acne!!! I went 3 years but got it again..it works well other than acne. My period is pretty much normal. Sometimes I've forgot I had the birth control!!"


"I'm a 17 year old girl with Generalized Anxiety Disorder which I've struggled/am struggling with all throughout high school. I've been on Prozac for about 8 months now and it's helped me get through a lot of very anxiety-inducing situations for me. Before taking this medication, it had become very difficult for me to even attend school, and often times I'd have to be absent due to panic attacks and overwhelming anxiety. The Prozac has made everyday life so much more bearable for me. I no longer feel repressed by my anxiety. It's not a "cure" but it has helped a ton for me, and I have much hope for the future now. In addition, it is also helpful with my mood."


"Horrible side effects! Just 4 doses and I'm still recovering from this medication. Feeling dizzy/ run down was just the beginning. Symptoms progressed to headache, vomiting, nausea, chest pains, loss of balance, and a general feeling of illness and pain. Not worth it."


"This medicine really works. I was H pylori positive always had acid reflux, heartburn, ulcers and tried everything and nothing worked so the doctor gave me Prevpac and it's awesome. I feel 101% now."


"I have been getting up 3-4 times every night and finally decided to try medication again. (previously tried Flomax which did nothing for me)  Rapaflo, after 4 days gave me only a headache, diarrhea and at best a 20% flow increase. I still got up several times during the night, maybe one less time than previous. The side effects and miniscule benefit made it a no-brainer to stop taking this useless medication. A waste of $78."


"Been on invokana 300mg once a day, taken prior to breakfast, for 8 weeks, third box starts today, slight burning around head of penis week 1&2 wash more. Gone. Thirst all day ,most drink a lot upward of 6-8 bottles per day, peeing a lot 9 times a day. Good thing as you most flush kidneys , weight loss, wow. Lost 31 pounds in 8 weeks and yes that without exercise or change in diet , not sure if that's all good but wow A1c.  10.9- 8.0 down to 7.5-6.2 on average. Still tired lot around 2pm afternoon . Age 52"


"It worked for me. In the beginning I thought it wasn't working, but it was just building up I guess. I was still having auditory hallucinations when I did too much stuff and didn't sleep properly, but that was just me. The Vraylar stopped my delusions of " everyone is trying to modify me" or "everyone is plotting to put me in the mental hospital". I am getting along fine with everyone now!

Unfortunately, even with the copay, I can't afford it. So I'm switching to another antipsychotic.

Just sharing that this medication does work.

My blood sugar didn't go sky high, which was a huge fear of mine because I did go full blown diabetic and had to be hospitalized on other antipsychotics ( which I will not name). I did not gain any weight."


"Started taking this for extreme tiredness a week ago after my exhaustion level rose to unacceptable levels. In previous Multiple Sclerosis episodes I had been on Provigil, but stopped taking it due to severe headaches, and found I didn't need them anymore anyway. So far I haven't had any headaches and my mental alertness is significantly higher. My physical energy is still low, but has improved some. I can make it through a quick shopping trip without having to sit down and rest. I'm hoping that continued use of the medicine will build up my endurance level over time."


"I just wanted to say how blessed and happy I feel right now, I was ovulating and the condom broke and the next day I went and got Plan B One Step. Now let me just say, I'm a high school student and the whole wait time that I had to wait to get my period (2 weeks) made me feel miserably but let me tell you it really does work. I took plan b in the beginning of May and my period was due the end of May (I just got it today) but I've never been so sick from such a medication but let me tell you, it was all worth it, these reviews saved my entire life and helped me and I could not be more thankful right now, so if right now your stressing out and you're hoping it works just know that it does, I wish you all the absolute best!!!"


"I gave this a 1 only because 0 was not an option. Of course, everyone has their own experiences and will react differently to this birth control pill. I highly recommend to everyone to read reviews online and DO YOUR RESEARCH because I didn't and I blindly trusted my doctor. Unlike most people, I did not need this pill for the purpose of birth control but to simply avoid my period for 1 WEEK in December, as I am going away on vacation. I went to see my doctor for contraception to avoid my period for that one week in the upcoming December and she immediately prescribed seasonique. I checked with her again asking what was the use of starting in October, but she convinced me that it was my best option as I would have no bleeding until January."


"I've been taking lyrica for almost 2 years, I was prescribed gabapentin to begin with, and they kept increasing the dosage,  until I was almost on the max dose of 3200mg, and my pain management dr prescribed me lyrica 100mg x 3 daily and it works for the most part. I don't have the side effects from it that most have, and it works to control the pain, although I do have neuropathy flare ups from time to time. I'm taking it as a result of neuropathy from spinal chord injury. and my insurance pays for it so no out of pocket costs. I recommend this to people who have nerve pain."


"have used this med for lung infections a few times and each time it helped improve my breathing and helped eliminate excessive wheezing."


"From the reviews I've read, it sounds like if you were on Yaz%u201A Yasmin, or Ocella as I was, this is a great pill to switch to. I am on my second week of my second pack and my first period was almost nonexistent! Watch out for pregnancy panics because of little to no periods. Haven't experienced any negative side effects. I have noticed clearer skin, increased sex drive, and the start of increased cup size, my boobs feel heavier and fuller!"


"It's been 18 months I have this birth control. I will never regret having it. Since the day I had it I did not have any bleeding and my mood was not affected. The best option ever!"


"I am 28 years old and started breaking out severely a few years back. I tried every OTC acne medication and cleanser. I finally went to the dermatologist and was diagnosed with hormonal acne. I was prescribed Ocella and tretinoin cream. I've been using both since April 2015, however I noticed that as long as I take my Ocella everyday I do not need the tretinoin cream so I haven't used it in a couple months. My skin is such much better and I have to remember to take my pill every day because the hormones wear off after 24 hours and I'll break out if I miss it two days in a row. Otherwise this medication has been heaven sent. "


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


"I wanted to write a review because so many people have skewed the idea of this insertion process and how miserable it is. Its not miserable, you won't pass out, and its super effective. I went to planned parenthood in NC and got this inserted on 5/4 and the process took less that ten minutes. They explain before you get it inserted its side effects/ possible complications. Weigh them out, is it worth it? The process consists of feeling how far back the cervix is, and then dilating it (feels like a pinch) and holding it open (pressure) and then bam he/she puts it in and you're done. You'll experience spotting, no vag insertions for 3 days but if you're like me and hormones ruin how you feel, the 10 minutes of uncomfortably is worth it."


"Have had RLS since I was 10 years old (now 62 yrs old). In my 20's RLS really started causing me problems. I have had different types of medications, dosages and combinations. My doctor put me on .5 mg Mirapex three times a day. Usually only take it twice, afternoon and bedtime, unless I am having a bad day of RLS. Mirapex has been fantastic for me. If I am very active during the day, I take a pill in the morning. Never experienced side effects. Some evenings the RLS stays active, I get up take a 15 minute hot bath, back to bed, this seems to resolve this problem. Every nerve in my body now becomes unnerved for about 5 minutes 30 minutes after taking Mirapex. My Neurologist said the RLS is problem since I have had RLS for over 50 years."


"I've had severe psoriasis which covered me head to toe since I was 5 I'm now 30. Tried every trick in the book from lotions and potions, light therapy & homeopathic remedies. I put off taking methotrexate for fear of becoming a glow in the dark alien with the side effects! Finally gave in last year and so glad I did. It cleared within 3 weeks. I'm now on 15mg a week and only have slight patches of psoriasis dotted about. Had a few bad headaches now and then but nothing extreme. A little wobbly on the blood tests but nothing life threatening just yet. Much better quality of life at the min, and much less hoovering haha."


"Terrible medication in my experience. It helped very little with a1c and blood sugar control. I did not have any day to day side effects from this medication however I continuously suffered from high lactic acid levels which created severe pains all over my body which was just too much to take. I have switched to another oral medication and seeing the results that I have been searching for. As far as this medication- never again. I started it for Polycystic ovarian syndrome; later used for type 2 diabetes ."


"One big complaint I had about it is that I gained a whopping 20 pounds since I went on it. I exercise everyday and I eat healthy, but my appetite sort of increased slightly."


"I have experienced explosive behavior most of my life, even though I am generally a passive person. I also have generalized  anxiety with panic attacks for which I take Lexapro for over 10 years.  My psychiatrist suggested that I may have something similar to "The Kindling Effect" rather than explosive disorder.  He asked me if I'd like to give Topamax a try. I said sure why not! He started me on 25 mg twice a day. Within five days I noticed a difference for the better.  I can handle my mood much better, I can handle situations much better, and I have not had any explosive episodes at all in five months! To me this drug is a miracle.  To finally find something that keeps me balanced and able to regulate my emotions without going to extremes is an absolute miracle! I love it!"


"Works amazingly. Never tried anything better."


"First of all girls, don't worry about not getting a period while on birth control pills. It's only breakthrough bleeding, not an actual real period at all. I may spot for a day every couple of months on this pill, so my boyfriend definitely likes this.  I've taken it for about a year and a half. Only complaint I have is that it costs more than generic, but otherwise I am very happy with it.  On the 4 days a month I don't take it, I may have some mild constipation and moodiness but that's it (and that's from not taking the pill those days)."


"Awesome. No side affects at all. A little stomach ache for 5 minutes after taking pill, but goes away fast. Been smoke free for 3 months. Feel great."


"Great medicine. No side effects. The price is high but if it works I will take it."


"I am a lifetime allergy injection patient.  I have been getting allergy injections for the past 35 years.  I have had symptons of post nasal drip and clearing of the throat for as long as i can remember that the shots just wont clear up.  I started singluar 10 days ago and my years of post nasal drip is gone.  Yes!!!! gone for the first time for as long as I can remember."


"I used this drug for an infection in my wisdom teeth. It caused a false positive on a drug test. I don't do drugs and I am not around them."


"I started taking Phentermine on August 3rd and I weighed in at 222.8. My last weigh in on September 14 I was 199.8. That is 22 pounds in less than 2 months. The 1st week I lost 13.6, 2nd 1.6, 3rd 3 pounds, 4th gained 1.4, 5th 3.8 lost and the 6week 2.4 lost. I exercise 4 days a week for an hour and I eat no more than 1400 calories a day. The first week and a half on the pill I had no appetite at all, I had to force myself to eat. My appetite slowly came back but it's not as bad as when I wasn't on the pill. I don't crave sweetsnor fast food. Never had an issue sleeping, headaches for maybe 4 days and I was jittery the first 2 or 3 days. Increase in energy was high the first couple days now it's not as high."


"My doctor started me on 2mg Livalo about seven weeks ago. No side effects of any kind. I don't take any other medication. Price is an issue but I have coupons from my doctor. For now I will stick to Livalo."


"I'm a 24 year old single mother, and diet and exercise was never in my vocabulary. However, I am the heaviest I have ever been. (weighed less when I was 9 months pregnant). I have taken phentermine 37.5mg once before and I had no idea what to expect. I know that this is not a magic pill, but more of a booster. I've lost 25 pounds within a month, worked out, ate less and consumed more water and cut out sodas and fast food. Was able to wear smaller clothes and the confidence came back. I'm back on it again starting yesterday 7/17/14, and hope I get the same results as last time. My side effects were dry mouth, feeling a little more irritated, heart was going fast, the feeling to constantly move. Smoked constantly. Good luck everyone"


"I have been an insulin dependant diabetic for fifty years and have taken about 35,000 injections. I'm totally convinced that Exubera is the greatest development in the treatment of diabetes since the discovery of insulin.
I have been on Exubera now for two years but have supplies left for only about 4 months.
My blood glucose test results have improved dramatically since I started using Exubera.
Would one of you medical companies please please restart production but this time market it properly."


"I often wonder if it was a miracle that Zyprexa made my voices go away.  Plus I know that when stressed I have a hard time sleeping but I will sleep 1 hour after taking the pill.  I've had about everything in 22 years, and if the weight doesn't get you its a great medication if it works.  Maybe they will find one that works for every psychotic with this break through."


"Wonderful. First couple times it sorta wore off what I thought was too soon but that was my delivery that was wrong. After I got the hang of it works great. Easiest my day has been in a long time. Went to the store and didn't even carry my O2 with me and that's a big change for me because I am so Afraid not to have my 02 handy."


"Reviewers who have had deleterious symptoms after using this drug after thyroidectomy due to cancer were either overdosing or underdosing it. Adequate dosing has virtually no side effects for otherwise healthy patients. "


"Did a good job at keeping me asleep. I don't need it everyday but it's there and I don't have to worry about addiction. Thanks!"


"I got my second round of Botox yesterday. First one was in 2014. I think that depending on your doctor's experience and acknowledge with this medication is how you will get better. If your doctor put to much medication will not be good for you. Thanks to my doctor I feel better."


"I have used clonidine for panic attacks (episodic, severe facial sweating due to stressful situations). This medication has been extremely helpful, resolved the sweating immediately. I have tried lorazepam, which was also extremely effective, but my clinician informed me clonidine has lower risks. Beta blockers did not work at all."


"I have been having chronic sinus infections due to allergies for the last year and a half. I finally went to an ENT who prescribed this medicine along with my current regimen (Allegra D, Flonaise, Neti Pot). I have been on this medicine for about a week now and I am unusually irritable, and easily aggravated. I can tell that it's getting worse, as today I started developing anxiety along with it. I am not going to take it tonight and call the doctor in the morning. I saw on the label about mood issues and depression, but this is more like taking a stress amplifier. If I had complete relief from the allergies, I would consider continuing, but I haven't noticed an improvement, still have extensive postnasal. Glad to see I'm not the only one."


"I've been using Drysol for quite a few years and it has worked wonderfully! I use it every 2nd or 3rd night, otherwise I get smelly even though I don't sweat much, if at all, while using it. I sometimes use a deodorant with it on the 3rd day. It is a great product that changed my life when I started using it! The only downfall is that it eats away at my pyjama tops after awhile. I wear sleeveless tops when I use it but it still puts holes in them under the arm."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"These have been my favorite due to the size and taste. I am unsure why many users say they have a fishy after taste? The omega 3 is plant based. The box clearly states there are NO fish products in Vitafol."


"Just started this medication a month ago to treat migraine--also a little borderline hypertension--two birds with one stone.  First week on 5 mg. I needed Imitrex 5 out of 7 days.  Then, I went up to 10mg per doctor's orders, and the headaches stopped.  If this keeps up, yes, this is a miracle.  Have suffered with migraines almost 40 years--and have tried lots of meds including Imitrex which was a lifesaver and Botox which helped initially  but not for very long.  As for side effects, no swelling--maybe a little fatigue.  I was on loads of Excredrin and probably 3 Imitrex a week.  So glad to be able to get off these meds.  Still keeping them around just in case but am very encouraged with amlodipine."


"I have horrid painful leg cramps ,charlie horses, groin pulls at night and frozen shoulders that lasted for months. Tried Muscle relaxers, cortisone shots , vitamins , minerals, natural remedies, quinine   and other medications. Clonazepam .5  at bed time is very helpful. I take it at bed time. Only have severe attacks once or twice a month now.( then I limp out and try a few spoons full of mustard. Yuck ! and things settle down)   Plus I can drive again with out leg cramps.and foot cramps. Can you imagine getting a charlie horse and not being able to stop the car. Horrible !
 Still get hand spazams while holding cards or sew. I am not an anxious type person. I have no trouble stopping the medication but with in a week or so my cramps return"


"This shot is terrible and I do not recommend it at all. My mood swings are terrible, I was put on an anti depressant because it made my anxiety terrible, and the abnormal, random, heavy bleeding with no warning after being on it for almost a year SUCKED. Not only was the bleeding random and heavy, it was for weeks at a time too. The shortest period I had was about a week. The only good thing that came of it is it definitely prevented pregnancy for me and I didn't gain weight from it."


"If it weren't for this drug, I would not be alive. It has saved my life on numerous occasions of asthma attacks. I love it."


"Taking for about 2 weeks - noticeable improvement - was getting up 2-3 times a night, now none, stronger stream, no side effects yet. But, @ $3.00/pill and not covered by insurance, it is quite expensive."


"Started viberzi 75mg 2x daily for IBS-D since I don't have a gallbladder. Was great for first 4 days and then diarrhea kicked in 1x daily. Early this morning had severe abdominal pain with sweating and weakness. Pain was so bad I thought I was having a heart attack and almost called 911. Made myself vomit and felt better after that. MD said if it happens again I will have to come off the Viberzi."


"Works for knee pain for several years. Also gives a psychological boost of energy . Recently my pharmacy switched to Alvogen alv/196 tablets for the 5/325 mg's and they do absolutely nothing for pain or mood boost.  I was told that I was not the first person to complain. Roxicet is the best imho."


"I have been on this medicine for about 2-3 weeks now and although I missed a dose a couple of times it has helped me greatly. Before going onto this medicine I was awake for 3 days straight with racing thoughts/extreme anxiety and agitation. I still have anxiety but I feel more calm and collected. In terms of treating psychosis I have given this medicine a 7/10 (so far) because although I am getting some paranoid thoughts still, it has enabled me to think more clearly and rationalize them better. They are no where near as intense as they were before starting this medicine. I was talking to objects and saying strange things to myself in the mirror... this no longer happens and I feel more 'normal'. This medicine is great in a number of ways."


"Savella was awesome for my chronic back pain.  Unfortunately the side effects were too serious.  My blood pressure sky rocketed to 160/110, my resting heart rate sky rocketed to 136, and my estradiol levels plummeted to that of a postmenopausal woman (I'm only 37 with no history of early menopause).  I experienced hot flashes that would have me dripping in sweat with absolutely no physical exertion whatsoever.  If it weren't for side effects I'd love to take it. I sincerely hope there are people out there who can take this and not experience the side effects, because it was like a miracle for the pain."


"After 12 years of dealing with EVERY DAY a tugging and pulling feeling in my brain, causing me to be determined disabled. I have a new doctor who yesterday started me on 10mg Elavil.  I came to this website to read the comments to see if I dared believe that I could be feeling like I was finally given a miracle that might cure my diagnosed "transformed migraine" condition!  TODAY, for the FIRST time in 12 years, there is no debilitating tugging and pulling, although I feel sleepy and I do feel a slight steady "pull"."


"Just over a month in....very low dose (10mg)  for Sebaceous Hyperplasia and Rosacea but appears to be working! Tried umpteen other lotions and potions and nothing worked then this medication. My specialist is insisting on blood tests to keep an eye on my liver and cholesterol so fingers crossed the first tests come back positive. Dry lips and some dry skin on my body but making sure to use lip balm and moisturizing lotion after showers. Minor headaches and minimal joint pain but no nose bleeds or other symptoms. My skin is starting to look more 'normal' again and my hair glorious after years of greasy misery. Fingers crossed things continue to improve "


"Vitam B12 really helps with depression and has helped me a lot. It's actually helped me more than depression medication (SSRIs). So take a daily multi vitamin with it and/or an energy drink everyday with it and you should feel better."


"I just started back on Topamax after being off the medication for 4 years. I suffer from cluster headaches, when a cluster starts the debilitating headaches come everyday. The last time I took Topamax it stopped the cluster within a week. I continued working up to the full dose and the side effects gradually decreased (confusion, hard to concentrate, difficulty with finding the words to express my thoughts). I found that a lower dose kept the headaches away so I dropped down for a few months then came off the drug completely. Last week a new cluster started so I am back on the Topamax and have had a couple of headache free days already. This medication works well for me at a lower dose and limits the side effects."


"This drug changed my life with unexpected benefits.  I started
taking for herniated disc and a lot of nerve damage. I started feeling pain relief immediately. It made me feel very high the first week and I had to be careful how and when I would take it / 150MGs 3xs a day. The high feeling eventually, gradually dissipated

After a week, I noticed my wife smiling a lot with great caution I asked her why and she said she likes how calm and relaxed I am. I'm naturally a very high strung, intense person. I thought about what she said and noticed I actually was very relaxed and things that typically set me off they just didn't anymore. I then read about how the drug helps with anxiety.

My insurance doesn't really cover it...I pay 50 for a months"


"-Not a very good one. Complained to Drs . About dry mouth,diarrhea, and numbness in toes. Tingling at tip of fingers.  They dismissed it as nothing.  The numbness has progressed to my foot,legs,hands,arms.  Have trouble walking without a cane because I loose my balance and have fallen many times."


"On March 23, 2017 went to urgent care and was diagnosed with bronchitis.  Was prescribed levofloxacin.  By the weekend by knees were so swollen I couldn't walk.  I didn't read the warnings.  It's now April 21 and my knees are still swollen and I'm shuffling around like my 90'year old mother.  I did go to my primary care physician, who said I should never have been prescribed this medicine.  The warnings state do not prescribe to those over 60 unless there is no other antibiotic and not to those over 60.  I'm 65.  I've had blood tests and X-rays.  Blood work showed nothing abnormal and X-rays normal and my dr now wants me to see a rheumotolgist.   I feel I should see an orthopedist.  Please inform you family and friends to stay away this"


"I want to thank the people responsible for the creation and distribution of this product! I am so so so happy and satisfied. I want to share my story with the world. I want to show my pictures of my results to everyone! This products is a true blessing and I do not regret taking a single pill. My skin looks fabulous! Thank you!"


"I had trouble getting Armour brand too.  I found a local pharmacy that carries a generic desiccated thyroid pill.  It works just as well (for me) and it's very economical."


"Started Invokana(300x1) and Janumet(1000x2) 1 week, my A1C was a 15.2. I am not overweight 5"6 123Lbs, but I have a Hypothyroid issue. I am not sure which one or even both are causing the side effects but any help with regards to the nausea and stomach pain would be greatly appreciated. My numbers are better, I was in the high 400's and now in the last week I haven't gone over 149."


"I am now part way through my 3rd shot of this injection. I'm 18 and have had pretty much constant bleeding for the past 9 months, with only a few weeks of no bleeding! I feel shattered constantly and have no energy! The main way that it's protected me from pregnancy is that I haven't been able to even have sex due to constant bleeding! This experience has been a nightmare for me, it's been painful and I've felt rough and low the whole time! I wouldn't recommend this at all as any side effects last for the 3 months that it stays in your system!"


"Got my Endoscopy yesterday and really was a pleasant experience, I also dreamed and suddenly I woke up and everything was done. No pain or discomfort. Great."


"My mild anxiety had been building for yrs when I decided to seek help for it. At that time, I had only experienced one panic attack after a health scare (heart palps from over exercising). It wasn't until I sought help to control my stress that I was prescribed Prozac. Started having panic attacks and taken off. Started taking buspar. 1st few wks were really rough (brain zaps). It kept me from having panic attacks but I still experienced moderate anxiety every day. After 8 wks, I started to experience depression for no reason and intrusive thoughts. Nothing like I ever experienced before. So I went back down, depressive thoughts came back. Tapered off. Lightheadedness, ear ringing and brain fog persisted the entire 3 mo. I was on it."


"I waited 1 month to write this review. Hopefully things will stay the same. First of all, I read quite a few reviews before I took this pill. Let me tell you, I was terrified. I paid more attention to the bad reviews because with my luck I would suffer from every bad side effect of this pill. My main concern was weight gain and mood swings. I broke out but took control of it by going on proactive. It's working but I have to make sure to wash morning and night. No falling asleep will make up. My breasts were tender for the first couple of weeks, actually, it was quite painful. No weight gain. My appetite has actually decreased. I had bad PMS episodes and that's when I gained weight. This pill seems to help with that. Overall, I am happy."


"I just finished the second phase of two weeks on Zyclara.  It is doing its job for sure.  Alot of open sores at the surface.  Doctor put me on antibiotics as I have some infection going on.  Also, using a antibiotic topical cream to help.  It is painful but worth the time going through this as I have heard good results.  I have had the Mohls surgery and also Efudex.  Hope this clears it up for good."


"I suffered from severe depression with constant daily suicidal ideation and anxiety. I was really falling apart and was at the end of my rope. I was given 10mg of  esciltalopram, my Dr told me to take it at 5mg for 4 days first which helped greatly. I suffered from very light side effects. First three nights I had trouble sleeping so some melatonin fixed that for me. Other than that I am totally fine. Six days in on the medication I have absolutely no suicidal ideation and my mood is totally changed. It feels like I did a total 180. I understand that every medication is different for everyone but this has been amazing for me."


"Have been on Copaxone 20mg everyday for 14 yrs. Only one major flare up in 2011 that left me numb from waist down, had to learn to walk again. But only missed 5 days not taking Copaxone. Am okay with a shot everyday.  Am now walking with a walker, no flare ups since 2012."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I used Suprep to have my first colonoscopy at 70. I followed a low residue diet for a week before the prep.(less in, less out)  My evening dose of Suprep was easy:  I chilled everything, added white grape juice for half the water, and used a fat straw for drinking.  It wasn't bad at all especially if you pause to suck on a lemon.  The a.m. dose was harder to take; who wants salty grape juice first thing in the morning  when you're really hungry?   The hardest part for me was drinking 32 oz. of water after the prep.  I paced myself over the hour (don't chug!), had the water at room temperature, and about halfway stopped to have  some salty broth to make myself thirsty.   Suprep worked as expected with toilet times of about two hours for me."


"Have had Fibromyalgia for 16 yrs. I started with the regular narcotics until I was building such a tolerance that I was on a roller coaster with pain relief and then the tolerance. Finally my doctor put me on subutex ( actually the generic ) and have had very good pain relief since 2007 with only one raise in dosage. I take 8mg three times a day without a high or loopy feeling. It even helps with that debilitating burning fatigue. I am so thankful that there is something out there that can give decent quality of life. I am out of my bed and can do somethings around the house with breaks. I can walk some for exercise. Fibromyalgia had me in bed most of the time. Of course, everyone is different and everyone responds differently to different drugs."


Vicks Nyquil D Cold and Flu Nighttime Relief

"Helped me sleep and stopped my coughing and cleared my head."


"After three years of taking oxycodone 10 ER and oxycodone 5 IR for three cervical anterior and posterior with instrument I ask my spine doctor to change me to Zohydro ER. The oxy was making me sick to my stomach and I was dizzy and tired. I have to report that after a few months on the Zohydro ER I was able to transition to not only getting off the oxy but I am almost pill free and pain free. I am so grateful for Zohydro ER. I was afraid I was getting addicted to the oxycodone and with the Zohydro ER I had no feeling of euphoria. I am so grateful. Thank you for giving me back my life."


"Over the edge..best thing ever!"


"The disease modifying medications had no effect on my Multiple Sclerosis.  Tysabri stabalized the progression but saw no improvement."


"I've taken this pill for about six years now and it is a miracle worker. No periods, no side effects."


"1. Read this forum for suggestions on nausea remedies and prep day diet and to get an idea of the general expeience. Mine closely matched the more positive reviews.

2. Start hydrating. At least 80 oz water/day for several days before prep; I had over 140 oz on prep day itself.

3. Stock your bathroom before starting prep. I had a beverage cooler with water, lemonade, and ginger ale in the bathroom, along with plenty of TP, flushable wipes, ointment, clean clothes, towels, my phone, and some entertainment. You won't be able to leave the bathroom for awhile, 75 min for me.

4. Prepare somewhere to rest close to bathroom. I didn't have any "accidents" but was less anxious about them since I had towels and old blankets on the bed"


"nightmares"


"Lost 17 pounds in 3 weeks with no exercise mild nausea but overall a great experience"


"This medication really helps with my pain. I have been through a lot and nothing works. I took Dilaudid and it really helped."


"This is my 1st x on BCP & this is what was prescribed & I can't wait to end this pack & just suffer the horrible monthly cramps!! Since taking these, I'm always nauseous, so fatigued, constantly very irritable, my mom thinks I'm suddenly acting depressed when I never have been in my whole life, enough to where she wants me to go to counseling, I'm breaking out and it all seems to this pill, the ruthless culprit!"


"It worked well for both my fibromyalgia and my depression for a long time and I had no side effects from it. However it has stopped working for the depression now. I still take it for my fibromyalgia."


"Incredible results. I've always had terrible allergies even as a kid. Growing up with a large amount of animals, and increasing over time, I needed something stronger. I went to my doctor and he gave me free samples of this pill. He said to take one before bed, and get at least 8 hours of full rest. Upon waking I didn't have the normal morning sickness I usually felt (congested, runny eyes, dry mouth). I woke up refreshed, energized and without fatigue."


"It's difficult to explain the side effect I experience using fluoxetine. I can only describe it as lightening flashes in my mind that briefly cause a feeling of confusion as well as momentary losses in my concentration. Physically speaking, I just get an unpleasant sensation thats comparable to the light headed feeling you get when you stand up too fast after getting out of bed, but luckily there's no pain involved."


"It really surprises me when I come to know that I have to take it once day. These have 2 extra enzymes for the baby breast milk; so you can take it during pregnancy and postnatal lactating period. Thirdly it doesn't leave any bad taste in the mouth nor does it upset your stomach. I am happy with it and the most important thing is that it is FDA Tested and there VCAPS is of plant origin. Vcaps shells are manufactured KOsheir, HALAL Certified and Vegeterian Society approved. But you can only get them through prescription not over the counter."


"This pill seriously works. If you were in the same position as me, you're sitting on this website reading the reviews and hoping the pill is working. My boyfriend and I had sex on the 12th when the condom broke. He was able to buy the pill the 14th some 50 hours after. I took it asap. I was very tired and felt nauseous and dizzy every so often after I took it. started spotting on the 19th and now it's the 20th and I just woke up with my period. The 50 dollars spent on buying the pill is much better than risking having a baby."


"I was diagnosed with chronic Bronchitis at the age of 32, when I catch a cold and it won't clear up it turns into Bronchitis about 90% of the time. I am now 57 and take the Z pack when I have flare ups, never have I had a relapse, usually by the second dose I am on the mend. The most amazing drug ever, Thankyou"


"I have been on Livalo for 4 months. About 4 weeks ago starting having pain in fingers of my left hand.  2 weeks ago pain in back of leg from above the knee to the foot. Pain is persisting and hinders my sleep. I have had problems with my muscles while on Lipitor and Crestor."


"I am a female, 44 yo, took Pristiq over 9 months up to 100mg. It gave a little relief to my depression but did nothing for anxiety and panic attacks. I left my job on disability while on it, unable to cope anymore!  I am still trying to find the right antidepressant.  Tried Zoloft, Manerix, Celexa,Cymbalta, Wellbutrin without noticeable success or just bad side effects!  Note I had no major side effects with Pristiq."


"I was medication free for over 10 years. After I had my daughter the mental static as I call it got progressively worse. I couldn't finish tasks, or concentrate, I forgot to set my alarm clock, burned food, fell massively behind at work, and the last straw was when I forgot to give my daughter a dose of antibiotic for a sinus infection. I've been on Adderall 30 mg for around a year now, and the difference is amazing. Much better than the Ritalin I took as a child. I feel like I assume people without AD(H)D feel. I no longer have static and random thoughts pulling me off task."


"This medicine has been very effective for me. I have very dry eyes-Restasis wasn't doing the job. My doctor put me on this-much improved-I highly recommend it. Side effects mentioned by others have been minimal for me - minor burning that goes away in minutes and rarely a very minor aftertaste that goes away in seconds."


"I've been on Apri for over a year. It was recommended by my doctor to slow down my heavy periods. It's done a great job doing so, But now that my periods are under control, I now use Apri for birth control. In the first month, I gained 12lbs just around my love handles, and my breasts grew a whole cup size bigger. I'm not as interested in sex anymore either and I'm definitely more sensitive and moody. This pill definitely helped my periods, and has kept me from getting pregnant, but does have some side effects."


"This drug is a life saver for me.  I've been on Effexor XR 150mg daily for about 4 1/2 years.  There were some minor side effects at the beginning, such as wakefuleness at night; my doctor suggested I dose in the morning.  I sleep fine every night now.  Caution - once I ran out of medication and thought since I felt better, that I'd be fine.  Within 30 hours I was in a painful, suicidal state of withdrawal.  I later learned that abruptly stopping this medicine results in a nose dive in your system."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Maybe TMI but sitting on the can writing this. Mixed up the powders as directed, added about half a packet of EmergenC powder, guzzled 8 fl oz every 15 minutes as directed. I don't know if I had a newer formulation or something but I had no problems with the taste - tasted like Gatorade or some electrolyte drink to me. Started working within 40 mins. And so here I sit..."


"I am happy overall with the Paragard (copper) IUD. I like that it's hormone free birth control after I had my kids and aged a little, the hormones made my hair fall out. It wasn't pleasant being inserted but it wasn't the worst either. The first month, I spotted regularly but when I got my period, it stopped. It took about 5 months for my body to completely adjust (those first 5mo I was having 10-14 day periods) but it started every 28 days to the hour.
Now, my periods last 5-7 days (longer than when I was on hormonal BC) and my cycle is still 28 days. Also, my periods have become slightly heavier but I never have to use anything more than a light flow tampon. Cramping hasn't been an issue."


"I am a 29 year old male. 6'2". I started the trial does of Qsymia on 1/16/13 weighing 315lbs. I moved on to the 7.5/46 dose. Today (6/10/13) I weighed in at 221. A month ago I ask the doctor to increase my dose to the 11.25/69mg as I was starting to eat more.  That is when I was not able to sleep and then halfway through taking that dose I noticed I started having numbness in my right foot/calve (which I guess is normal). I already went back to the doctor and ask to be put back on the lower dose even though it will slow my progress. I still have 25lb to go. I hope going back to the lower dose solves this problem. This is not a miracle pill, you HAVE to eat healthy and exercise while taking it. You must make a lifestyle change on it."


"Started taking qysmia in October of 2014 I'm 5'1" weight was 218 45 years old

Took the 7.5 dose for 8 months

Changed my eating habit and exercised more my biggest thing was giving up soda but it needed to be gone as of May 2015 my weight was 135. I was very pleased but after a year I see the weight creeping back on.. I'm back on the pills as of August 2016 lets hope I can keep it off this time. oh and the only side effect I had was constipation"


"I got this medicine in early January, it is now almost July. I LOVE IT. I am a migraine sufferer and have seizures, it was super hard to get me a birth control that I like (I've tried 7 other types). I wasn't allowed to have certain types due to the seizures so they were limited. I didn't hear about Lo Loestrin Fe until I made my first appointment with an GYN. Now that I'm on it, no sore boobs, no moodiness, no weight gain, no acne. I got my period for the first time today (which is why I was researching if that happened to anybody else) but its really light and seems like nothing to worry about. So I would definitely recommend for anybody like me!"


"Reading some of these reviews makes me wonder how much of a chance they gave the medication.
I've had 'vascular' migraines since I was 13. I'm 35 today. I take Excedrin migraine for my headaches. I take Imitrex for my migraines. Used to be hard to tell the difference. I understand now the difference. But before I found Imitrex, I took all kinds of 'prevention' meds. Amitriptyline, nortriptyline, Zoloft, more than I can remember. Never prevented a darn thing. Just ended up with side effects from those. As a teen, that meant acne and weight gain. Aka, hell.
It's been years now since I've found Imitrex. And like many, I was worried about trying it. But there came a day I couldn't NOT try it. 20 minutes later, I kicked myself for waiting."


"I decided to start taking sibutramine to lose weight that I had gained last year. I chose this because you can use it long-term, unlike the stimulants. When I first started it I barely noticed any effects (15mg). My weight was 240lbs starting. Then, about a week in I started to notice a major reduction in appetite and was doing quite well. I was able to get down to 231lbs in 1.5 weeks. Sadly this weight loss came with major dysphoric side-effects, such as tremors, anxiety, muscle twitch, insomnia, mood swings, akathesia, etc. It felt like I was poisoned/going crazy. Therefore, I had to stop it. I wish I could have continued as the weight loss was going great. Bad reactions stopped after discontinuing the sibutramine."


"I've been on many medicines, from Depakote, Geodon, Lamictal, Wellbutrin, Buspar, Adderall, etc. and Klonopin has been the best hands down. Mind you I am 23 yrs old and a girl, my new doctor was appalled on all the medicines others put me on. The Klonopin works very well for me."


"Been taking this for about 5 years and has helped lessen pain a lot, only side effects are some swelling of the legs and feet.  Only issue is my body seems to get use to it and have to increase dosage every 6 mths - year.  Started out on 75 mg and now up to 300 mg at night and 100 mg during the day.  Have tried just about every other drug with no results, this was the only drug that offered relief."


"I am 29 years old and a regular acne sufferer. I have comedones, blackheads, pimples which are not nice at all. So I went to visit a dermatologist just last Sep.2014 and she prescribed me Duac Gel to be use once daily at night after cleansing and been using it until now and it shows great improvement. One tube is good enough to be use for two months after opening and not that expensive. Just follow your doctor's instruction. My acne is mild to moderate and I recommend this one."


"My husband has been on Herceptin for his salivary gland cancer for 2 years.  The fight to keep him on it has been harrowing as it is only formally approved for breast cancer.  I truly believe it saved his life.  He tested HER-2/neu positive (3) which is normally located in the breast.  Dr. Posner (Dana Farber in Boston) recommended a course of treatment that included Herceptin. His Petscans have now been clear and treatment can stop at the end of August.  More needs to be done to allow life saving treatment."


"I was unable to get rid of my baby weight after having my 2nd child and heard about saxenda. After much thought I decided to consult my doctor who was not oppose to me trying it. I've been on saxenda now for almost 2 months. I havent experienced any side effects I started with .06 and now on dose 3.0. After one full month  I weighed myself and I've lost 10lbs. I've decided to weigh myself monthly so I will check in a few weeks my process! Oh and my insurance has picked it up but only for a limited time I have 2 more refills left!"


"I'm only rating it a 3 so far as I'm on day 2. I went to urgent care pregnant with a chronic cough. I usually get sinus infections but since I'm pregnant they couldn't X-ray me. Day 1 within a half hour I felt sharp stomach pains and my stomach was rumbling. It ended up being diarrhea. I slept just fine at night. I woke up with my cough again. I think my cough improved a little bit on day 2 but I am still coughing a lot. I experienced sharp pains in my stomach and through my vagina. I'm hoping for more progress with this Medicine. As is, I was very hesitant to take it since I'm pregnant but if there is an induction I wanted to not pass it along to the baby."


"I have been using this for almost a year now for peripheral neuropathy pain. This along with Lyrica and Pamalor have finally made it possible to live with somewhat normal levels of pain. Don't want to be without it."


"Implanon does it's job, but I do have really crazy mood swings and I have gained 10 pounds since I've had it in (even though I workout regularly). I have periods every other month (light flow but the worst cramps). Don't know if I can deal with it anymore. Not really used to the changes."


"I have gone from 40 plus hot flushes to none!  Fantastic, I take 2 tablets twice a day.  But remember to those who increase your dose, this is a vasodilator and you should not increase it past 2 twice a day without seeking medical advice."


"After suffering with daily migraines for almost every single day of every month for over two years I was finally approved for botox injections.  I received 31 total injections, which did not hurt with the exception of a pinching during a few of them.  After 3 weeks I was still suffering to the same degree and now, 8 weeks later there is zero improvement.  I am glad it has helped many, but for me there is no relief.  I also had a cortisone injection in my C5 and C6 for degenerative disease and still no relief."


"Caused suicidal depression"


"I have been on thorazine since 1996. I take 1000mg a day. The doctor keep increasing it too. it is the only thing he will give me to sleep. I was on klonopin 1mg before i started the thorazine and it worked great, but my doctor said he doesnt want me to take it anymore because it is a narcotic, so he took it away and doubled my thorazine. He also put me on serequel 200mg twice a day. The only thing is i cant do much but lay around all day. I dont like the serequel but he said its better than klonopin for me and the thorazine dose is getting too high."


"I have been diagnosed with severe fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, degenerative arthritis. I have been in such horrific pain for so long that quite often I cry from it. I have taken narcotics off and on for other reasons and they did help some. I refuse to take them for control. OTC meds do not help. I have had one hip replacement and am having the other one soon. My Rheumatologist gave me a script this past week for Diclofenac Sod EC 75 mg tab 2x day. It is my miracle! Absolutely NO pain, bones, joints, skin, muscles, anywhere! I can wake up with no pain or stiffness and walk immediately straight up!  I feel wonderful! Praise God for this med!"


"This is the best thing for panic attacks ever! When I feel one coming on I can take 0.50-0.75mg and let it melt under my tongue and it works very fast. It has saved me from going to the ER so many times. My hat goes off to Xanax!"


"My 63 year old mom was diagnosed with the EGFR gene mutation, stage iv lung cancer 4 months ago.  The cancer was also in her brain , lung and bone. Since Tarceva started she has done extremely well. Her recent scan showed a 70% decrease of tumor size on the lung, the spot on the liver is gone and the ones on her brain are slowly getting smaller, even with a direct hit of full brain radiation. She has had some side effects such as rash, which she was very annoyed with but went away, diarrhea which she still has and recently stomach pain. Hoping it subsides."


"I was initially prescribed Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo.  After 2 months of heavy breakthrough bleeding my doctor changed me to Blisovi Fe 1.5.  I've now been on Blisovi for 4 months.  The only positive I can say is that it stopped the bleeding.  My top 3 complaints are: anxiety, acne, and weight gain.  I am constantly on edge and jump at everything.  Every month when I start Week 3 my face gets extremely dry overnight and peels as if I have a sunburn then cystic acne comes in full force.  I've never had an issue with acne in my entire life!  I've also gained 10 pounds with zero diet change.  My dr. asked me to give it a few months and as of this morning he agreed to change me to Yaz.  If you are researching and are on the fence, DON'T TAKE BLISOVI!"


"Works great for restless legs and back pain, and agreed so what if you need to be on it forever. I need to be on Synthroid forever, and Premarin forever too.  If it helps me sleep good at night so be it."


"36 y/o male and just had my first colonoscopy yesterday. Golytely sent me to the ER in June with serious dehydration so this time SuPrep was my doctor's choice. I recommend light meals (low fiber) 3 days before procedure; hydrate WELL on day of prep (I had close to 256 fl.oz. of Gatorade, water, coconut water, apple juice, etc.) before first dose (515pm). Action began 20-25 min later; the cleansing was fast! No butt irritation/pain at all (impressive) and no bloating/cramping. Action stopped about 3 hours later, then felt really sick and vomited violently but felt MUCH better. Called my Dr, who told me to lie down, drink some fluids and rest. Had to skip the second dose, slept well and had a successful procedure. Hydrate well and good luck!"


"Oracea has some side effects that you have to work through and you have to be careful about what you use and eat with it because of its reations, but, honestly it is worth whatever effort you put into it. It cleared all my redness in 3 days. I was told not to expect it to work like this for (at most) 6 months but it cleared up amazingly.
It might not work so incredibly for you, but if you have mild to moderate rosacea I expect that it will."


"I've had my Implanon for almost 3 years. Right after I got it put it I had a period almost everyday for 4 months! Now I have regular periods. I was lucky to have no period. I haven't had weight gain, headaches, my acne has gotten pretty bad but mainly around the time to start. Although it wasn't an ideal experience I still loved it because I didn't have to remember anything or be extra careful. "


"Cleared my cough and allowed me to rest. This liquid must be taken exactly as prescribed. I experienced a slight feeling of lethargy the next day. Given that as the side effect, I would take this again for any of my severe coughing spells."


"I've taken Neurontin for many years now and I know without it I wouldn't be able to walk.  I know this because I tried not taking it and after 18 hours I was climbing the walls and I was in horrible pain. I'm not exaggerating either.  I've tried Lyrica and it didn't help at all. I'm still in a lot of pain but I know without it the pain would be a lot worse.  I do have a few side effects with it, some confusion and loss of words at times, but I'd rather live with the side effects than the pain I'd have without it."


"Used oral for UTI and All the side effects just started to appear day by day and instead of becoming healthy I deteriorated. Diarrhoea, Abdominal and Back pain, Nausea, Chest pain, Dysuria , Sleeplessness just started to aggregate and now I am in the most miserable condition. Won't recommend at all."


"Abilify worked wonders for me. So far the only side effect I have is the involuntary movement of my jaw. And also I sleep like 12 hours in the morning. But so far so good. Haven't gained any weight either and I hope I don't in the future as I have been taking it for just 4 months now."


"Took Lunesta for the first time last night and it gently put me to sleep. I have had a lot of anxiety about falling asleep. At first I was a little hesitant that I needed prescription medicines to sleep. I was able to get about 6-7 hours of sleep that I desperately needed. No metal aftertaste. I used Ambien in the past and woke up and threw up and had a miserable headache all day. That is not the case with Lunesta."


"Ohhhh crap what a nightmare. This did soften my plaques. But after a week I am quitting. 3 massive migraines. I thought the one I'm currently having would kill me. Went to the hospital. Typical diarrhea. I had massive tendon spasms last night. This drug is good for some but not for me. This was my last hope."


"I used Wellbutrin for a "practice quit" about 9 months before the big day to amass a strategy to stop smoking. At first, I didn't think it was doing anything. About two weeks into it, I was stuck in a meeting with no opportunity to smoke, and didn't notice the urge until the meeting was over. That was it. I knew that this would be a key component in my effort to kick the habit. As of New Year's Day I've been smoke-free, and I feel fine, and have avoided the depressive side effects of not smoking. Cravings are easily dealt with and pass quickly. I feel confident that my life as a nonsmoker will be pure liberation, thanks to Wellbutrin's mood elevating effects. Best of all, I still feel like ME!"


"I'm 23 years old and have had my mirena for more than 2 years and I am in love with it. Insertion hurt for a few seconds but it was quick. I recommend taking a pain pill beforehand.  An hour after insertion, I went to class. I was a little tender for a couple of hours but I wasn't uncomfortable, I wasn't in pain and I couldn't feel the mirena. That month I had a light period for 2 weeks and I had some light spotting during the second month after insertion. I have been period-free since then. It's so liberating. All I have to do is have my doctor check its strings every year. Sex is comfortable and pain-free and I feel great. I haven't suffered from any negative side effects. I will probably get another one in 3 years."


"I was taking Oxycontin after 2 shoulder surgeries, then I was in a bad auto accident. Even upping me to 80mg 2 x daily wasn't enough. My doctor suggested Oxyfast for breakthrough pain, so I tried it. This was the only combination that took away all my pain, so I could work and care for my family. At 29 yrs old I thought my life was over, but these 2 medications gave me my life back!"


"Paxil was the first medicine I was ever diagnosed with for general anxiety and depression. Yes, the medicine did stop the anxious crazy non stop thoughts, but it also stopped everything else. I didn't care about anything & nothing bothered me. There was one point I almost got fired at work (or came very close to it) & I honestly did not have a nervous bone in my body, blank faced I listened to what my boss told me I did wrong & said "k" then went on with my day. In other words, you just don't care. Paxil was very weird for me... For the first few days I would feel calm, then for about 2 days I'd get this high that made me feel finally like myself again! Then I would feel like a Zombie. I felt like my mouth was glued shut & couldn't laugh."


"Great!"


"Minor side effects the first week. I have mild to moderate plaque psoriasis for 30 years. I have been using ultravate cream and an in home light therapy unit with moderate success. I have been using Otezla for almost 4 months with little to no improvement. I will discuss with my doctor and probably continue for another month and then stop."


"I'm a healthy 25 year old female who's been on minocycline for about 3-4 months now.  It's worked wonders and I didn't have any side effects to it, until now.  About two weeks ago, I had this awful abdominal pain that landed me in the ER for fear it was my appendix.  Everything came back perfect.  I've since cut back on my antibiotic and only take it every other day because through process of elimination, I think it's the culprit to my abdominal pain.  My PCP told my I may have developed acute IBS or irritable bowel syndrome from the minocycline (since it is an anti-biotic and will get rid of normal flora).  I'm very upset that I have to stop it; I rarely use any cover up now because my skin is so clear."


"I have been on Microgestin FE 1/20 for a couple of months now, and it's absolutely fantastic! I switched after 6 months of Lo Loestrin, which caused me to gain 10  pounds, constant spotting, and worse acne. With Microgestin, my periods are actually regular, and even lighter. I had horrible cramps that I used to have to miss school and work because of, and now, they're almost nonexistent! Zero weight gain, I've actually lost 7 pounds, and my acne is gone! Love this pill!"


"Buspar 5 mg twice daily for possible anxiety induced difficulty failing asleep. First week good, second week less helpful for sleep, then onset of extreme hip, bilateral leg weakness with feeling of extreme leg muscle fatigue, start mid afternoon, worse by bedtime every night, required pain med to allow sleep. Discontinued."


"I was given this medication for diagnosis of Raeders Paratrigeminal Neuralgia.  Before I began this medication I had severe migraine headaches daily, facial twitching and eye drooping, amnesia, and blurred vision to the point of not driving.  After taking the medication for two weeks, all of my symptoms have ceased.  Side effects have been small hives and constipation."


"So I will start by saying that I read these reviews days before getting my IUD inserted and after reading some I was terrified. I thought it was going to be the worst pain in my entire life. I went in to the doctor's terrified with a list of questions &an Ibuprofen 800 in my system. My doctor is great so she calmed me down and answered everything. Before I knew it I was done & good to go. It was one of the easiest things I have ever had done and the worst pain (just an uncomfortable cramp) was when she used the tool to hold my cervix in place, the IUD itself was nothing after that pinch. I know everyone is different but figured I'd let others know that it's not that bad for everyone and I'm so thankful I got it."


"This is the only birth control I have ever used. I have been on it for about 10 months, and it's great. For the first month or two I noticed a slight weight gain (6 lbs), but I was able to lose it once my body got used to the pill. My breasts grew almost a full cup size (went from a large C to a comfortable D). They were also incredibly tender and sore, but this passed after about a month. I was EXTREMELY moody and always craved chocolate. Overall, it was like PMS for about 1 month, then everything went back to normal. I no longer bleed each month, it's more like occasional spotting for a few days. I would definitely recommend this birth control, but it is expensive without insurance."


"Had problems immediately (Tiredness after 7-10 days) with Flomax and so doctor proscribed Proscar and it helped somewhat.  However, It caused me to feel tired and occasionally extreme exhaustion.  After about one year of use I became impotent even with Viagra.  I quit it for about 6 weeks.  Felt normal with no erectile dysfunction.  Started again and felt tired and had ED.  Quit for about 2 months again and felt OK. Started a third time with the same tiredness and ED problems.  Have now stopped using it."


"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."


"I took 2 pills for constipation. This pill cleans you out, but its so painful! 2 to 3 hours later you start to cramp. It just gets worse and worse. I had some chest discomfort..that wasn't expected. They went away within a minute or so. Anyways the cramping is extremely painful and you feel super sick it's just like a stomach flu! It's been hours and I am still having the effects off and on. As much as I'm glad to not be constipated anymore...the pain was so bad I don't think it is worth it. If you want to take this, expect brutal cramping and pain. From these comments, it happens to a lot of us."


"Before getting on BC, i was absolutely terrified because of the side effects and all the god awful reviews. I've been on Lutera now for 2 months, which isn't a very long time, but i wanted to still give my review. My body might start to react differently in the later future but if it stays at where it's at now, i'll be so so happy. My period is much lighter, cramps are the same, i haven't bloated like a balloon, etc. I always experienced mood swings during my periods and I think i'm just about the same with birth control, no more no less (yoga helps a LOT with my insane moods), sometimes i'll get a headache from the pill sometimes but lasts about half an hour. My boobs are pretty sore here and there after taking the pill. Nothing else!"


"Have a child diagnosed with it. Just info for all, this (lacosamide) tablet is way cheaper in protected countries like India. hope it helps."


"was feeling great by day 2.wonderfull stuff.i gave my doctor a hug. i was never so miserable in my life,till she gave me bactrim"


"Horrible drug. It did not prevent my migraines at all, and I had aweful side effects.  Nausea, fuzzy thinking, tingly hands, and feeling overall sick the whole 4 weeks easing on and two weeks easing off.  Not worth it.  I'm back to Amitriptyline ."


"Generally produces a firm erection, although diminishing over time."


"My experience was very mixed. I have to say it was effective in preventing pregnancy and not having to worry about taking a pill was wonderful. However, I spent one month on my period and sometimes one month off, usually 2-3 weeks off. That's really effective in preventing pregnancy when you're constantly on your period. Oh and the mood swings? Terrible. I couldn't even stand to be around myself. It also killed my sex drive and made me tired all the time. Just a warning to potential users. It's not all peachy and period free! Two months post removal I'm finally starting to feel like myself again."


"I started taking phentermine on Thursday(3-12-09) and as of today(3-16-09) I have lost 9lbs.  I have had a slight headache the last two days.  I have also had trouble sleeping.  I think I can deal with both of these things because they aren't unbearable.  I started at 268lbs and want to get to 190lbs. I'm 5'10"."


"When I rub it into my neck twice a day with massage I feel better and sleep better. I use this for osteoarthritis of my neck."


"This medicine helps in curing the voices and delusional thoughts that sometimes come with schizoaffective disorders.But the worst side of this medication is complete weight gain.  I went from size 2 to 14. It also makes your boobs grow bigger and stops the menstrual periods.The drug stays in the system for a long period of time.  I stopped it in May and it’s been 5 months but I keep on gaining weight and boobs keep getting bigger and bigger. Worst medication ever! I have to deal with the weight gain and this causes a lot of insecurities especially for a lady! But the doctor told me that it gradually comes out of the system with time. So still hoping that my life will get back to normal with time."


"Remember, this is just my personal experience. Everyone is different. I got the Mirena inserted on August 1st. I got it removed today (September 12). I have heavily bled every day for the past month. If it weren't for my husband coming home for two weeks next month, I might have kept it for a bit longer to see if it stopped. Other than that, it was fine. No other symptoms and insertion wasn't bad at all. Just a little cramping afterward."


"I've been on this pill for about 2 years , I've never really had a problem with this pill ...heck I have no complains really . I just notice sometimes I get break through bleeding especially if I start a new cycle after skipping a month.  My skin remains clear , my mood swings are in check plus I get a lighter period. I really do believe this pill works differently for different people. Yes my breast do get tender around my period but that's normal for my body. I did gain wieght but I'm not sure it was due to the pill Bc I do eat a lot. Lol. My body only filled out more in the right places. I also have a healthy sex drive unlike when I was on the Nuevo ring."


"I am 21 years old  5'7 and 115 lbs. and I am currently taking 20mg in the morning.
I've only been taking the medicine for about two weeks but I've noticed a lot of changes.
Positives: I'm getting my work done, staying motivated, I'm focused on the road when I'm driving now and I don't forget little details like I was before.
Negatives: zero appetite- I have to force myself to eat, minor nausea, easily aggravated. It also altered my menstrual cycle. I am still yet to start my period but I've never been irregular- starting on the exact same days of each month since always. My mood has COMPLETELY changed in the 2 weeks. I'm severely depressed now and mildly suicidal. Can't tell if these side effects are worth it"


"Poisoned me - Do NOT take it! Made me very sick and I felt almost dead !  Military only use it to replace other meds Made me vomit and pass out ! Trust me 4 weeks in and it is only worse. 3/12/17"


"The positive I had on this medication was having great, clear skin. But the negatives very heavily outweigh the positives. Ive been on this for a month and a half and already have to stop taking it. I get constant headaches, my mood swings are off the wall (affecting my boyfriend and i's relationship), nausea, difficulty concentrating, irrational thoughts and depression. Switching off of this immediately. If you are prone to depression DO NOT take this pill!"


"Took it for a week.  Slept fine a couple of nights.  Felt like a heavy, drugged sleep.  Didn't do anything a couple of nights.  Stopped taking it after I woke up finding myself standing up at the end of the bed swinging my arms around to get rid of imaginary parrots I heard in the bedroom."


"My daily medicine is actually Effexor for severe combat PTSD but I have a high dose of klonopin as a PRN take as needed and in bad cases once my triggers are set off. It does a good job at helping me refocus and calm down. My doses have increased over time due to me apparently getting used to it but it is still effective"


"I started to take Testim for a month. Because, of low energy not to mention motivation and ambition.  The first blood test results said I have low testoterone...  I took it for three weeks.  Insurance wrote a letter saying they need two test to prove that is the case. I went off for a week, the worst week of my life.  Testim really helped me after fifteen years of being diagnosed manic-depressed. "


"I have been on this for about a week. First few days, was amazed. Before this medicine I would do enemas every week or so due to pain, etc. The day after I took this medicine, I went three times, once after every meal. Wow! Same for the next few days. Side effects: Majorly tired, headaches that develop into migraine by end of day, weird feeling in chest and throat, breathing funny (like a bad cold) and VERY nauseated until I have a movement. Also, the last few days, only having movement every other day. So don't know what is going on. Need to try increasing the water and see how that goes. Don't know if normal bowel movements are worth all this, plus, it seems to not work as well as it did a few days ago."


"It has less side effects than other medications."


"Suboxone helped remove the shame of opioid dependence. I learned it's not a character defect to become dependent on a prescription. Its chemistry. Stopping the Opana ER (hydromorphone) didn't remove the pain from joint replacement. Became dependent on OPANA ER, which was removed from the market by FDA request (too addicting). Suboxone was a huge success. It also helps treat residual pain from joint replacement. If I ever choose to stop it, there is a procedure for reducing mg slowly. Although it causes dependency, the method of slow tapering can be pain free compared to withdrawal from most common opioids."


"It works, but it gave me gas and diarrhea."


"I was injured in a coal mining accident that broke my back. The pain was horrific. The doctors I was seeing first put me on Lortab 5 and that did not do a thing. After several years I was placed in the care of a physical therapist doctor, I can't remember the name. He perscribed Oxycontin and that made me so sick. He placed me on MS Contin and that made me more sick than before, but then he put me on Kadian, the same thing as MS Contin, morphine sulfate, but it was better. It took care of the pain and stopped making me sick. It is a good medication."


"Adderall was a great drug for my ADD. It didn't make me lose my appetite at all, it didn't make me moody, it didn't give me any crashes, it helped me focus really well.  But it did give me bad acne which is why I ended up stopping it and now I am looking for another drug to replace it.  This annoyed me because it was the perfect medication for me but I will take a drug that doesn't work as good for a clear face any day."


"I have Fibromyalgia and it does help.  Because fibromyalgia is a different sort of beast it helps some but does not knock it out.  However, it reduces pain very quickly.  Using more at one time or more frequently does not bring the pain down any more.  It did not work that much on my wrists and hands where carpel tunnel is "suspected" but they are not certain what it is.  Some other pain on hand and arm were helped but not overly so."


"It's nothing. This did absolutely nothing for me. I didn't even have any side-effects, it was like taking a sugar pill or a placebo."


"I've been taking this brand for about four months now and haven't had any problems. Not sure why other women are experiencing such negative results from this brand. I got this for free at planned parenthood and she said it was one of the most popular brands. I haven't gain any weight, have't had any mood swings, and my sex drive hasn't been diminished. Oh and most importantly I haven't gotten pregnant. So far, so good!"


"Serious allergic reaction, hives and extreme itching."


"I have chronic interstitial cystitis (not sure on spelling) also called painful bladder syndrome.  It is like a urinary tract infection times 10. I have to go to bathroom any where from every 30 minutes up to 2 times every 2 hours. So it can be a problem if I'm away from home. If I take my Xanax 0.5mg, I usually don't have to go to bathroom but once every 3 or 4 hrs and since it hurts so bad to urinate and plus I can get sleep at night with not having to go every hour. It has been such a relief.  I rate it a 9. My doctor has it written 1 or 2 every 8 hours as needed, but I try to only take it at night. I'm very cautious."


"I was prescribed Armour Thyroid after trying Synthroid and finding out it didn't work for me. With Synthroid I actually felt worse; nausea, no appetite, even more tired, but Armour Thyroid was such a relief and made me feel normal again. It made my hair stop falling out at such an alarming rate, and helped my weight stabilize. I actually have energy to do things now! I have been told by my pharmacist though that Armour Thyroid is no longer being made. I have to try to switch to another natural thyroid medication and I'm not sure what my doctor will be giving me. I hope my testimonial on the effectiveness of this medication in combination with everyone else's might show how good this medication is and bring it back."


"My Doctor first put me one muscle relaxers and ibuprofen and my pain was 8-9 so much worse so then I saw her again and she gave me diazepam and now my my pain is a 4-5. Feeling so much better."


"I am on 30mg twice daily for depression and fibromyalgia. I have been extremely fatigued! I am also having episodes of doing things and not remembering and also passed out on the floor, but have no recollection of anything. All I want to do is sleep and if not for having a toddler at home and three children that I have to get off to school and one to work, I would probably just stay in bed sleeping all day and night. I'm hoping that this side effect wears off soon because otherwise they are helping a lot with my mood and depression. I was on Wellbutrin and it wasn't working, I had extreme episodes of crying and anger issues."


"Im 21 with no kids, and got Skyla inserted yesterday. Before my procedure I did all my research and was very nervous when I read others people's experience. Before my appointment I took 4 pills of Ibuprofen. I was really nervous, however it was not that bad. The first part, which the doctor measures  your cervix, just feels like a bad menstrual cramp. Its not pleasant but is tolerable. Next she inserted the Skyla. This part lasted about 3 minutes with long intesne cramps, after she was finished the pain was gone. On the ride home I did experience cramps but I was still able to function. Everyones pain tolerance is different, but from my experience it did not hurt that bad."


"Bn on-NuvaRng-MiniPill-OrthoEvra&Xulanepatch-Currently on wk2 of 2ndShotDepo here we go:- Depo better than the Nuva Ring, Mini Pill, Patch because nothing to worry about other than the appt for the shot every 3 months,great for busy women.- Depo doesnt require you to wear something like a ring, patch or implant.- Thumb up4 the ring but we have furry dog & hair would end up tangled around in the ring when id remove yes thats super gross.-on mini pill while breast feeding my kid, overall i didn't enjoy the lack of estrogen. See depo review.-Patch was itchy, sad when Xulane was intro'd, but i adapted. Then I had a migraine/aura that sent me to ER so Depo was chosen so I have no sex drive and my discharge is thick clumpy during intercourse. I miss patch"


"I have had amnestic episodes: I have had conversations with my spouse that at time were extremely distressing to him- the next day I would have no memory the discussions. I have walked in my sleep. A few times I was saved from hurting myself e.g. thinking (telling him) that I was going to the bathroom but starting to sit down before I got there and luckily caught by my husband - or I might have struck my head if he had not caught me.  ( I didn't remember those times as well). But my strange behavior started to worry my husband -a loving and devoted spouse.I have gone onto the internet while on Ambien and bought items. At first I was puzzled by unexpected deliveries of whatever I had bought- I realized the impact of Ambien on my life."


"Got this inserted in August of 2016 and it was the best decision I ever made. I had a bruise for about two weeks on the insertion site, but have only had 2-3 days of spotting since then, have lost weight from going off the pill, and haven't had any UTI's since insertion (I got them once every 2-3 months before the implant). The only complaint I would have is that it has made me break out, but that could potentially be attributed to stress."


"Well I got Skyla in September 2016. I'm 24 and I have a child. It wasn't painful going in for but I bleed for a few days afterwards. My period was normal at first,( I normally see bleed for 3 to 4 days) but 2 months in, I saw my period for 5  days. I have gain about 25lbs and counting. I'm 5'8 and I was 125lbs, I've always been skinny no matter what I ate. Skyla changed all that. I've started working out and  changed my diet and still can't loose any weight. Also at the 6 month mark my period changed again, now I spot and have an extremely light flow for over a week which is annoying. Throughout this entire process, I've also experienced a lot of headaches, cramps ( even when I'm not seeing my period) and mood swings. Giving it a year."


"OK guys, time-out!  I never thought I'd come to the defense of a consumer product, much less one that costs such an obscene amount of money, but:

1.  There are a lot of guys on here complaining they had low testosterone (Low T) and giving their numbers before treatment.  A large portion of them say Axiron took their numbers up into the 500 range.  THIS IS WHAT THE DRUG IS SUPPOSED TO DO!  If you're roughly between 348-1000, you're back to normal.  Axiron worked.  The fact that you still feel tired, or fatigued, or depressed is most likely due to other issues.  I think there are too many guys on here expecting to take this drug and it turn them into the Hulk, make them happy all the time, and provide for them sex whenever they want it."


"I have had the Skyla IUD for 5 months. I have never given birth. I am really bad at remembering to take the pill and my husband and I are even worse with condoms. Do not drive yourself to get this IUD implanted unless you know how your body will react - I almost got in a car accident because I was doubled over in pain behind the wheel. Long story short, I bled for 4 straight months (very light, more like bloody discharge than actual period) and the cramping has been intermittent, but incapacitating (drop to the floor) when it hits. My advice: carry around Midol and a heating pad for the first few months because you don't know when it's going to strike. It's too much for me so I'm going to have it removed after my anniversary in a few months"
