"I took one Dulcolax tablet last night at 19:00. Woke at 01:45 with the most horrendous stomach cramps, sweating profusely, nausea followed by 5 bouts of vomiting. My whole inside felt as though it was on fire, even childbirth was not as painful. At one point I thought my husband was going to have to call for an ambulance. I have lost count of the number of BM's I have had during the day/night, just running out non stop. I will never take another Dulcolax, I have thrown the packet out and would not wish this experience on anyone. I have wasted a day in my life in bed that I will never get back!"


"I took Delsym for a severe cough. It stopped the cough and made me drowsy. I took a nap and when I woke up I could not move! My body was paralyzed. My cognition was impaired. After a undetermined period of time I was able to move and call for help. Very lucky to have been taken to a local VA Hospital where my blood tests indicated my immune system was compromised and my platelet count was 50,000 which they told me if I was in a serious accident I would bleed out. I was told that Delsym was a bad OTC Cough Syrup and would produce serious interactions with other Prescribed Medications. This near death experience can be documented."


"I started on 100 mg and on day 2 was running to bath room with sudden urgency.  After 2 weeks I started experiencing pain in both armpits and upper arms, along with yeast infection.  Stopped and waited a week an retried taking. Same symptoms only worse. Not worth it to me."


"When I first starting using Xulane, i would get really bad nausea for 2 months. Now I am on my 5th month using and still have spotting in between my period. Also gained 5-6 pounds so far. I hate this patch. Thinking of switching to something else soon.

Only reason I chose this because it's the easiest, i only have to change it once a week."


"Very bad experience with this drug...i gained a lot of weight...also it killed my libido!!!!"


"It does work well and you get bad side affects if you are taking anti deppressants or anti anxiety medications."


"Immediate burning! Stay far away ladies. I pray I don't suffer internally."


"I have had psoriasis for 30 years. I've used many topical ointments, light therapy, and Embrel. I've also tried many home remedies and recommendations; however, nothing worked to clear my skin and my arthritis got worse. I started Cosentyx and after 3 weekly shots, my skin started clearing, by my second monthly shot, my skin was completely cleared everywhere! My arthritis is already much better after the 3rd monthly shot and hardly noticeable at all. If you are a candidate, I highly recommend this course of therapy. The shots are barely painful (I am a wimp).
"


"I have MDD severe/recurrent, gen anx w/a big social element, ADD & intrusive thoughts. I was about ready to go to an inpatient facility until my doc prescribed Rexulti. While still on the starter pack, I noticed significant improvement.  I also take Effexor&Klonopin. (Ritilan for the ADD) I have mixed feelings about the side effects.  I was super morbidly obese and lost 1/2 of my body weight. The weight-gain, up at 3-3:30 am and severe am dizziness are starting to wear me out. My doc says no more than 6 months but I have gained 7lbs in 3 weeks so I am not sure I want to see how much I will gain over the next 5 1/2 months...but, I was 1st diagnosed at 16, now 44 & I will say this drug is a lifesaver. Discount card program makes it 0.00!"


"I am 42 years old never took AD drug before. My GF insisted that I should take it for my anger issues, nothing violent but bursting rage in  a second, and feel depressed. Started to take the drug 6 months ago, for 2 weeks 50mg, after that 100 mg daily. Don't get me wrong but I don't feel any changes, my bursts are gone and depression like a normal person (daily problems thoughts).
I am trying to say I feel normal :) I think it works"


"It gave me a great feeling after two hours, but I had chest and kidneys pain, dry eyes upset stomach. Therefore, I stopped it."


"I been taking this pill for about 8 months and let me tell u what a Nightmare at 32 I thought I had left my acne problems in my teens.. I been depressed crazy anxiety from the bad acne this pill has giving me white heads and cysts like pimples all over my chin.. Don't recommend this to anyone!!!"


"No side effects(nausea, headaches,etc)

Regulated my period"


"I wanted to take some time out of my day in case someone is struggling and I may help them have the hope and courage to take the leap and get better. I have bipolar spectrum ADHD. I have never had a manic episode, but I get pretty irritable, hyper, and feel like I'm crawling out of my skin sometimes. I have some mood swings and have had some impulsive behavior that I am not proud of. I was always very ashamed of this and was lucky that I could contain it by really white-knuckling through life. I eventually was exhausted by this and tried this medicine at the suggestion of a wonderful psychiatrist, who I am willing to recommend. Within a month I was a different person. I am calmer, steadier, and found contentment. Please get help :)."


"I took Yaz because of my problems with tiredness and heavy mood swings. While on the pill and I noticed it made them 1000000 times worse. However, it did make my periods light which was super nice for a change. I took this pill for only 3-4 months then had to switch because my boyfriend and family were sick of me being moody all the time."


"STICK WITH IT!!! I didn't really start seeing results to about the second month. You have to remember its not a magic pill, though it does curbs your appetite for carbs and sugar. (I'm in LOVE with Candy). I found myself not even wanting "junk food" for a snack. My advice is start doing some exercise. Example: 100 jumping jacks, 100 squats and 100 sit ups. I was at 185 at the start now I'm at 174ish. That's about 10 pounds in a month so that's right on a healthy track. Oh and drink only water!! It really helps. As the saying goes " Don't complain about not making any progress if you don't put forth any effort""


"Being almost 30 and having cystic acne I began taking this as a last result. I tried all skin care lines....found myself using Clarins and my skin improved but still I was oily and breaking out on my neck and cheeks.  After a couple of weeks I noticed I wasn't waking up with what seemed like a thick layer of oil on my face. I began to break out less and less. My Dermatologist upped my dose and now my painful cystic acne is gone and my skin feels great. Although I find myself very parched at times and you must watch your salt and alcohol intake. I like this medication."


"3 weeks now, so far no problems."


"Been on it for almost 2 weeks. Feels like nothings getting better. Used to be a caffeine addict stopped that, but now I have insomnia from this. Still have trouble waking up, getting motivated. My heart races and this puts me in a careless and out of it mood and want to try something else."


"Lost my virginity on the 28 of November at 6:30pm and didn't use protection (stupid I know) He said he didn't cum but I was worried of pre cum. Took the pill on the 29 8:30pm (about 26 hrs after sex) and I didn't have any side effects just a little tired. My last period started on Nov.9 and after 11 long dreadful days my period came on Dec.9. Happiest day of my life. Learned my lesson for sure."


"So, I've been on depo for two years now. And I'll say, it has been the worst! I've gained 12 lbs. I have constant headaches and backaches. I'm very moody. I spot one month after getting the shot up until I get the next shot, then it repeats. I have bad cramps, and lots of hot flashes. I'm getting off the shot next month because this just isn't the BC for me."


"I'm 5 months pregnant and was told I could only use the Monistat 7 to rid me of my YI. After itching for days I gave in and went and bought the expensive product. I had no I idea it would increase the burn itch by 10 fold!!! Awful awful awful, I immediately laid down after application and instantly started to burn and itch. After 15 mins I tried to rinse in shower it just seemed to get worse I did have some relief by using instant itch relief cream I used just outside vaginal opening I was able to lay down without writhing in pain but itching is still present!! Ice pack helped mildly, I would definitely recommend to lather up the instant itch relief cream."


"Great for sinus infections and bronchitis, but it appears to lose its effectiveness after repeated uses. I had to try something else. Nonetheless, I particularly like its lack of side effects."


"This birth control isn't bad, defiantly not the best but not the worst. Before Cryselle I had almost perfect skin with occasional breakouts here and there, but I break out on my chin often now. It's not bad and it goes away in a couples days or so, but before the pill that almost never happened. It made my period a little shorter by a day or so. I do have very bad mood swings, but I've always been kind of a moody person so it might just be me. But other than that this pill is good, I haven't gained any weight, I don't spot, I occasionally get mild headaches... But nothing a Advil couldn't fix."


"After trying just about all the drops out there, this was the one that really worked in lowering the pressure in my eye without any bad side effects."


"I never review meds, but felt I had to this time. SO many scary and daunting reviews online for this medicine had me absolutely dreading my Colonoscopy prep. Honestly, this prep was totally a breeze. I chilled it first, used a straw, and bit a wedge of lemon before each dose. NO problems getting it ALL down within less than ten minutes for each liter (Split dose regimen). I have a narrowed esophagus and sometimes have a hard time drinking that much even when it's something I really enjoy--so I was surprised that my worst fears didn't come true. My advice is to "just do it". My exam went great, and now onto the victory meal!"


"Well I've been on buproprion for five days now, and it really seems to be helping. All last week my anxiety was constant, I was depressed and crying all the time and on top of all of this I decided to quit smoking cold turkey Thursday of last week, mind you that my anxiety was so bad that I was smoking a pack and a half a day, so I was an emotional wreck. So my doctor put me on this med 150mg for two days and 300 there after ,I take one in the morning and another 8hrs later and so far I'm feeling better, I'm not all the way my self but thank God I have some relief. My doctor did say that it will take about six weeks to feel the total effects. And I haven't had any side effects that I've noticed, it does suppress your appetite."


"When I started Remicade I felt amazing very quickly and even decided that I was able to start living my life again.  Unfortunately for me and my new boyfriend all the Remicade was really doing was masking my symptoms my Crohn's was very much still active as I found out on my 25th birthday when I was admitted to the hospital and then sent to a more qualified hospital as I live in a small town. I was in hospital for almost 2 months at this point trying various ways to try and get my Crohn's under control to no avail.  I ended up having my second surgery at that point and less than a year later having my third surgery. Remicade just wasn't worth the  $4000 per infusion in the end for me."


"I have taken this medication before, seems to help a little; have to drink plenty of water to get relief, but, joint pain, and headaches come and go, and little relief of this medication, I continue to take it for the doctor recommendation, but, I tolarate it"


"Tried many drugs over the past 20 years.  This is the best yet.  No strange feelings in the head,
no twitching muscles or fog.  Some stomach discomfort which was solved by splitting the l0 milligram tablet in two and taking morning and afternoon.  The quality of my life has improved
beautifully, and I am so grateful for it."


"Nexplanon would be awesome if I didn't have constant spotting. 2 weeks after I had it inserted, I began to bleed. Less than my normal period, but enough to wear a light pad. After that first week I spotted, and have continued to spot for the past TWO months.

The insertion was super easy - the numbing shot is the hardest part, but you just feel a little pinch. I haven't gained any weight, in fact I lost 10 pounds, but I attribute that to a change in my exercise/food intake routine. The best part is I don't have to worry about getting pregnant when I have sex, and that's the main reason I'm sticking with it, despite the inconvenient bleeding. It will be 3 months next week since I had it inserted, so I hope the spotting stops soon :("


"I took Trulicity for 7 weeks. This is not a medication for me. Increased pain all over my body. I lost 20 lbs. but I start sweating all the time. I cannot do simply task without sweating. I am doing the dishes and I am wet, I wake up at night 4-5 times all wet even after 8 weeks of not taking Trulicity.  After I stopped taking Trulicuty, I gained 18 lbs."


"40mg Vyvanse kept me awake all day, however, from the moment I took the 30mg dose I could stay awake and focused for 12 hours strait and still sleep at night. If I had this medicine in High School my life today would be 100% different. I would have excelled in academics and done much better sports. "


"Does the job. Have been on it for just over a month. Some side effects, but nothing too crazy. Dealt with mood swings and nausea the first week or so, but went away. Sex drive remains high (lol its important)

Only serious drawback is that I am craving food literally EVERY SINGLE minute. Went from 117lb to 135 in just 4 weeks..... wtf
Oh. And my skin has gotten worse... I started geting acne around my forehead and upper-lip. Hopefully I the appetite and acne problem goes away as I get more used to the hormones."


"Fansidar contains special antibiotics which kill and inhibit the growth and spread of plasmodium parasite in your body."


"I've been on Seasonique for about a year now. Overall it's great, while the birth control is pretty pricey in my area (it's about 90 dollars a month where I live) but it's worth it. I've had no problems with this pill except the occasional spotting. It actually cleared my skin while I do have an occasional spot. I don't get headaches, backaches or many other side effects. I guess the pill is different for everyone but for me this works like a charm! It's great only having my period once every three months."


"I've been on oyxcodone for 3 yrs due to metal in my neck and lower back. Had surgery 2 years ago. Still have stiffness, and neck and lower back really hurts when it's cold, due to the metal in my back and neck. Oxycodone has really helped me."


"I'm just finishing up my first month on the shot and I can honestly say that it's working well. This is my first birth control I've had, and there have only been a couple of side effects. I spotted for about 5 days twice within the first 3 months which isn't bad. But I also experienced some vaginal dryness that required additional foreplay as well as lube at times. Overall I think it's fine considering I don't have to remember it and the spotting I heard gets better over time. I'm due for my next shot in a couple of weeks after which I'll offer another review. So this isn't a bad choice, but with any birth control there are side effects."


"Type 2 User with 2 weeks on Afrezza and already seeing steady improvement in my daily readings."


"Took one the first night, got cramps and diarrhea, ate half the next night was ok, half the third and nothing. Took one the next got cramps and diarrhea. Took 3/4 th of a tab for two nights straight, nothing, nothing. Took 1 the next night STILL nothing."


"First few days I had the common listed side effects, feeling sick, headaches and occassionally feeling like I thought my heart has stopped beating, all side effects have pretty much disappeared now and this medication was a life safer, been taking for 3 months 30mg twice a day and no more fight or flight response, the anxious thoughts and feelings still arise but they go away within a couple of minutes and you don't go into the cycle of anxiety   fight or flight thus causing more anxiety. Would recommend to any1 who is suffering with anxiety these are life savers al ot better than the alternative anti-depressents and diazpams etc. This medication was free for me thanks to the NHS."


"Today, February 16th, 2017 I got my nexplanon removed. I was so relieved leaving my doctors office. I got my nexplanon put in in mid May 2016. I was so excited to no longer have to rememeber to take a pill every day. In the 9 months I was on nexplanon I gained 70lbs. I'm disgusted by my appearance. I've had crazy mood swings and a lot more anger/aggression. I've also had horrible acne all over my face, chest and upper arms. My acne has never been this bad. And I've literally had zero sex drive the past 9 months. I feel bad for my boyfriend. Only positive thing what that I haven't had my period at all and no spotting either. Sunday I go back to the pill and can not wait!"


"This literally makes me want to rip my vagina off and give it way. The first day was bad, second, and third day as well. The itching is so bad I was going insane. I will never buy this product EVER in my life. I've taken the overnight one time treatment and never experienced anything like this."


"I have been taking Savella for 8 weeks now. I was recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia after battling with the symptoms for 4 years. At first, Savella was terrible. I took the titration pack which gradually ups the dose until you get to 50mg twice a day. I wanted to stop after the second day. I was feeling angry, having headaches, nausea, and some vomiting... you name the symptom and I had it. For whatever reason, I pushed through and it gradually become better. I noticed after a week I was waking up with more ease than I had in 4 years and I didn't have the overwhelming fatigue I usually did. The only side effect that I still have is hot flash/sweating. Sometimes it seems unbearable but compared to the fatigue/pain I think I can handle it."


"After having negative experiences with a monophasic pill, my doctor decided to put me on this tri-phasic pill and my experience has been so much better. During the first month and a half, I would get spells of nausea about 2-3 hours after taking the pill, but these eventually went away. My breasts have not swelled as much on this pill, my acne has cleared up completely, and I even lost some of the weight I had gained on the last pill since Tri-Sprintec suppressed my appetite. I'm in my 7th month of taking Tri-Sprintec and since taking it, I have had stronger emotional responses to things, but no irritability or moodiness. It has been a very effective birth control for me."


"This thing was causing so many problems for me. I bled like I was hemorrhaging during my 10-12 day periods with cramps so bad I could barely get out of bed to take care of my children. I was weak, exhausted, beyond moody, and struggled with depression. Not to mention my anxiety going to levels I didn't know existed for me. I had Paragaurd for 2 years before reading about other women with similar issues and making the choice to get it removed. My reason for choosing Paragaurd was all the issues I'd had with hormonal bc, but the side effects with this was far far worse."


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


"I did the split dose regimen & don't think it would have cleaned me out good enough all on its lonesome.  Fortunately, I put myself on a low-residue diet a couple days prior to prep day plus I took 3 Dulcolax (Bisacodyl) tabs the night before prep day and then another 3 tabs the evening before the procedure.  Reading other reviews got me worrying the Prepopik might not do the job completely so that's why I decided to tweak my prep a bit.  The taste of the prep isn't too bad and thank goodness a pretty small amount to drink compared to the other 2 prep options my doctor offered.   Out of pocket was $40 (after insurance and a $40 coupon my doc gave me.)"

"Kadian is probably the strongest narcotic pain reliever I have used, maybe equal to fentanyl. If all else fails this stuff should do the trick."


"My insurance refuses to pay for it saying Prilsect is just as good.  NOT!!!!! I take 2 a day (180 for 3 months) and it would cost me almost $700 a month.   I get through Canada  for $123 per 200, over 3 month vs. $2,000.  Aciphex is not even comparable to any other, Zantac, all of them.  Good luck to you."


"I had unprotected sex and he came in me twice. I was freaking out so he bought me the plan b. I know most freak out about it not working, but believe me relax. Three weeks after taking the pill, I got my period. I had no symptoms, but I did have weight gain and I craved food all the time.  But  during those three weeks were very stressful. But try not to stress. Think about other things and go on with your daily life. Things do end out ok in the end."


"After two months on Savella, I feel like I have gotten my life back!  Like others, it hasn't really helped with the neck pain, but all of my other pains have virtually disappeared.  I did start even slower than recommended taking a full month to reach the recommended dose of 50mg 2 X day.  Side effects include brief nausea 30 minutes after I take a dose, but try to always take with food and this helps.  The sweating is bad, but not unbearable.  Will see how it goes in the summer.  "


"Did not research the Mirena prior to my procedure so the pain of insertion was a surprise.  It felt like someone was scraping the inside of my uterus with a small and very sharp knife. The Doctor jokingly said I looked as if someone just beat me up because I was tearing eyed and probably looked very angry. Had it now for two months and have been spotting and cramping everyday.  I used to have pretty and clear skin.  At 51 years old, I feel like a teenager with a bad pimple condition.  Have an appointment this Tuesday and decided to have the Mirena removed.  I will definitely research pain of removal and come prepared."


"Desperate to get off hormones, I decided to try Skyla. My doctor told me there is 0% estrogen and only 3% of the progesterone that was in my pill.  Close enough for me! She had me take the cervix softening pill the night before. Studies are showing that it doesn't help pain reduction during insertion, and can even make the pain worse. Do your own research and ask your doctor. Insertion was more painful than I was hoping, but I was able to work that evening. My cramps have tolerably increased during my period. My flow has lightened, but my period lasts 2 weeks now. The last week is so light I only need a liner, but still. I'm being patient because I know some of my symptoms are from getting off the pill. Overall I'm happy with my decision."


"When my doctor prescribed me epiduo, he had me taking it with doxycycline hyclate. Now, I don't know which one is working. But I do know that epiduo is giving me near CONSTANT sunburn. The doctor said to put on sunscreen right before I go outside at all, and again every hour I am outside. Who is going to be able to take sunscreen with them all the time? I'm in cross country at my high school, and I can't just stop in the middle of practice to put on sunscreen! But, it did help my acne a lot. It's still there, but not nearly as bad as it was before."


"I have started taking lamotrigine with the intention of weaning myself off phenytoin. Unfortunately after 2 weeks and 2 days I have had terrible side effects, splitting headaches, vomiting, nausea, dry mouth and extreme irritability "


"I have been on this medicine for almosy 6 years. I have not had any side effects as of yet. I am monitored by my doctor every 6 months. This medicine has changed my life I was not able to do things such as drvie or even work. Since on the meds I have been seizure free and living my life."


"Took this for anxiety and depression but found out later that I actually had severe PMDD. I had to stop taking Zoloft after six months due to bad vertigo but it definitely helped the PMDD symptoms. Switched to venlafaxine and found that to be great, but first three days are so hard. Headaches, low mood, heavy feeling in head and body. It worked though.
Zoloft also fixed my restless leg syndrome which had not responded to any other treatment."


"Guys!!! Calm down, my girlfriend and I made the dumb decision to not use protection, so I bought the pill immediately after intercourse. I pulled out but I wouldn't risk it THAT much. This was on July 5 and two days ago she got her period, and currently is. It might mess her cycle but remain calm. The best thing to do is to relax and just use it as an experience to get on better birth control. DONT LOOK AT REVIEWS AND PRAY!"


"I have had bad acne since the 4th grade. During my senior year in high school, I was put on Accutane which worked for the duration of time that I was on it (moderately, mild breakouts but the redness went away, a huge step up from my ridiculous acne!) but returned in moderation when I went to college in the fall. I waited until the spring to visit my dermatologist and she put me on two facial creams and Monodox. I tried the facial creams alone, didn't work. Then tried Monodox and within a week, I saw a huge difference. Not only did my acne almost disappear, but my breakouts were 1-2 mild, small pimples that went away leaving no scars in 2 days. I have been on it about 3 months and I couldn't be happier. My face is clear! Highly recommend."


"Inhaler from allergist didn't help breathing problems. I always felt the fresh air I breathed in only got half way down and then hit a filter of some sort. Had wheezing/whistles every day at the end of my exhale. Inhaler didn't help. Out of breath over the slightest activity.  Got an prescription from family practice doc for this. This has eliminated my wheezing and out of breath feeling. I'm allergic to just about everything year round. It did not eliminate my need for allergy medication but it has made my breathing perfect. I wouldn't ever want to do without this medication. "


"I'm a 45 yr old woman who has had IBS with chronic constipation for years. I've been dependent on laxatives for years mainly suppositories. Even strong laxatives have little effect on me. I hate taking meds and often just do not take care of my gut. Well that's all changing since I wound up at the ER last weekend with a terrible back up.

I saw my GI Dr and he gave me some samples of linzess 290 mcg. I'm taking that every morning along with a probiotic, a stool softener and high fiber diet.

It's only been 3 days but so far I've felt activity down there and had a BM yesterday morning and today. I still needed a suppository but I hope by this and probiotic and diet change i can be more regular."


"I tried 6 different pills before finding Jolivette. I've been on it for four years now, and haven't had a period in that time -- it's amazing! No side effects, my migraines are gone. It's been a life saver. Before Jolivette, I would have periods for up to 3 months at a time. I have recommended it to all of my friends, none of whom have had a negative experience yet."


"Laid in bed for 2 days using this and nothing.  Wasted those 2 days I could have been out walking to prep naturally than this.  The range of effectiveness is ALL over the board. Did they even prepare a trail before marketing?"


"I've been taking this medicine for years.  I was having difficulties keeping my medicine levels in the proper zone.  The extended release has been great.  I'm in a small group of people who need their Dilantin level slightly above the 10-20 range.  I'm able to stay at 20-22 with the proper dosages that have been prescribed for me.  I cannot take the generic brand. When I was on the generic, my levels were not as stable."


"As a chronic relapsing opiate addict, Vivitrol has been an excellent medication to aid my recovery. Have not noticed many side effects, if any. Basically eliminates my cravings for opiates and alcohol and provides good mental insurance knowing that if I do use opiates, I will get no effect from them."


"I tried verapamil 180mg one a day for just over 8 weeks. After trying Metoprolol, I couldn't the side effects of metoprolol.

I didn't feel as many side effects on verapamil but it didn't work for me.

Unfortunately heart still beat abnormally. Also blood pressure went up then down on standing."


"I used to have Implanon and now I have Nexplanon. I love it! Yes, when you first get it you will bleed for a LONG period of time. Now I have my period every couple of months with the bleeding last about 2 weeks. I have not had any of the side effects. I get mine taken out every 3 years. The process for taking it out can be a little tricky. For me it took about 40 mins with a lot of blood and three people helping. I def recommend this form of Birth Control."


"WARNING TO THOSE WITH SEVERE CRAMPS: I had this in for 1.25 years. I gained 25lbs, had horrible mood swings, irregular bleeding but didn't get pregnant. The worst part was the severe cramping the 2 weeks before I had a period. I had to go to the ER because I thought something was wrong with me kind of pain. You know, shaking, sweating, can't cry or talk because it's so intense kind of pain. Labor pains level. I had it removed only to learn that the odds of the pain lessening are pretty slim. If you are experiencing this pain take the thing out!! You may get lucky and have a chance for it to subside."


"I had unprotected sex March 20th & March 21th went to go buy plan b but they had ran out so bought opcicon one-step took it and had all the side effects. At the end of March had a second period I had it the 12th & last week of the month (I can't remember what day ) and no period all month of April.  I have been cramping and warm body throwing up and tender boobs. I'm scared I could be pregnant - I have not taken a test yet but will soon and I'll let y'all know if the pill worked!!!"


"Added Deplin 15mg to 150 mg dose of Wellbutrin when the Wellbutrin no longer worked as well. It did help for a few days but then I developed severe muscle weakness, stiffness and pain particularly in my neck and shoulders. Bad enough that I could not turn my head or look up or down without great discomfort. Kind of felt like I had whiplash. I did some research and found that the muscle pain can be a side effect of both medications. I have not ever had this problem on Wellbutrin alone, so I'm inclined to think the Deplin caused this. I quit taking both medications because I couldn't function with the pain and stiffness any longer and 2 days later the pain is still there but is slowly subsiding."


"I'm 32 and just had Mirena placed 3 days ago.  I didn't take any painkillers prior to the insertion and have not had any children.  While it was slightly uncomfortable and I did feel some cramping during the insertion I have not had any discomfort since.  I've had very light bleeding and expect it to continue for a while.  For now I'm giving it a 5, hopefully my rating will increase as the days and months go by.  I am on multiple medicines that can cause very serious birth defects so getting pregnant is not an option for me.  Some of these medicines cause stomach upset and the pill has always made me slightly queasy so something that works just as well as the pill and hasn't given me any side effects yet is a blessing.  "


"I had the nexplanon inserted the first week of April. I didn't have a period for two months, then end of June I started and had a light, constant period through August. Then it stopped for a short amount of time, then Started September 20th through October 15th. I started noticing hair loss probably mid June/July. Clumps of my hair were coming out. I also experienced extreme mood swings. The littlest thing would irritate me. I just had the implant removed today, and I recommend that nobody gets it. I am trying the nuvaring out this time, I hope I have better luck. I was on the pill for years but I forget to take it sometimes due to my busy schedule."


"Taking losartan I have had a lot of joint pains headaches everyday dizziness tired. In the ER twice because of my blood pressure going up."


"I was on this medication for about a year and never felt like it ever did anything other than make me irritable and kill my sex drive. It was extremely hard to wean off the 75mg dose which is a comparatively low dose. All up it took me about 6 months to come off it completely and the withdrawal effects after missing a dose would begin within just a few hours (brain zaps, twitchy etc). What I'm amazed about is the fact the doctor who put me on it initially didn't tell me any of the side effects and didn't warn me how hard it was to come off. I realise it probably works for some people but as a dispensary tech I see people coming in who are taking 300mg of this stuff a day. I shudder to think how hard it will be for them to stop this drug."


"Helps alot after a long hard day of being a mom of 3."


"I have been taking the med for two months and I have as of yet had any recognizable side effects and the med seems to exacerbate the reason I'm taking it for, the pain and psoriasis symptoms.  So far I can say OK."


"Used this, felt fine after applying; however, woke up with no relief.  Didn't work!  I should have bought the 3 day or the 7 day.  I have had the burning/itch for a few days before using and it was more annoying that really bad, so I was hoping the 1 day would be OK since I was just in the beginning stages.  I do not recommend the 1 day.  I spend $22 on it and now have to go back to the store for another box of either the 3 day or 7 day.  I've used the 7 day in the past and it worked great.  Once again, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE 1 DAY PRODUCT - at the least, buy the 3 day."


"Well it's kept me alive for 13 years with the combination of crixivan. I've haven't had many side effects and it's kept my t cells at over 1000 and undetectable. Thank you for this wonderful drug."


"Ambien has been a lifesaver for me.  I have had insomnia since I was a teen, and Ambien has been the only medication I have used that works for me.

There are plenty of "strange" things that can happen if you try to do things between the time you take the medication and onset.

IMPORTANT:  If you are going to take Ambien, be IN BED, ready to sleep.  It takes effect VERY quickly.

Great medication for insomnia!"


"I am 22 years old  and have had Crohn's disease since age 17. I can't take steriods of any type - makes me go crazy. Remicade is the best drug I've been on for my disease. It works great but has some bothering side effects for me but they are not bad enough to quit gettting this medication every 8 weeks at the hospital through I.V. It takes about 2 or 3 hours for the treatment to be over."


"I absolutely love this birth control. I started out on this pill but when I moved away for college had to change pharmacies and switch birth control brands twice... worst two months on birth control. Now that I'm back on this pill my skin is clearing up again and I don't have mood swings or feel down anymore."


"38th day..Lots of naps,fatigue,lightheaded,tough getting to sleep,cold fingertips and toes,buzzing in ears,metallic taste in mouth,leg cramps,hemorrhoids..Type 1a ,1,300,000 viral load at beginning,waiting for test results from friday..Hopefully will find out monday,also low bp on friday...19 pills to go..Lose of breathe easily...Fighting the dragon...Hope its working...Praying hard...Easy for some...Not for me..63 yr old male..."


"I have been on Pristiq for 8 months, 50mg. Also on Wellbutrin 400 mg for 2 months. Pristiq has been wonderful. The Wellbutrin added to it just made it that much better. In the beginning I didn't have any side effects. Now I'm having trouble with insomnia and jaw/neck clenching. I am going to start taking the Pristiq in the mornings as a lot of people have mentioned its better. I'm going to see if that makes a difference in the insomnia. If not I'm going back to the Doctor and get something to help me sleep. Other then that Pristiq has been great. No depression. No mood swings. No anxiety. My boyfriend has noticed these changes too. Good luck to everyone"


"This is a parents best friend at 4am with a screaming child who has an ear infection and antibiotics haven't kicked in yet. You will realize soon that, that ear medicine are like liquid gold. I swear that's how valuable those are in a family with kids and frequent ear infections."


"Had injected into spine via epidural steroid injection RUINED LIFE!"


"After abusing alcohol for many years I received the shot last week and cravings are minimal and pass quickly. Having relapsed early in sobriety before I feel that going to meetings and the shot will help prevent another."


"Pharmacy said it could be crushed (have hard time swallowing pills) PLEASE DON'T CRUSH !   I got too much at once...now just cut in half .... Drug stores have pill splitters if it's not scored. ALWAYS GET 2nd OPINION"


"I just took three doses of 0.25mg cabergoline but I developed severe headache and even fainted. My doctor suggested to stop medication for about a month."


"Worked well on my cough. Did not suppress it completely which was a good thing since I was coughing up so much phlegm. Was able to rest on the medication. However if I took it during the day I found myself wanting to nod off and if I would not let myself sleep I would get a little dizzy."


"I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 5 and have been on Ritalin and Adderall throughout my entire life since then.  I know long time.  I was switched to Vyvanse and this is my first day taking it and I like it so far.  I wouldn't call it a "miracle drug" for me because I have extreme ADHD but it is a lot smoother than Adderall XR I was taking prior.  I also feel more emotionally stable and have more confidence. I also take another 10 mg of Adderall around noon and another 20mg.  We will see how this medicine holds up to all this good stuff.  I am hoping forever since I will never be able to get off a stimulant medication.  But remember, if you have been on stimulants for awhile and do not take them, you will feel EXTREMELY tired and sleep all day."


"Worst birth control ever!! Started taking it and literally everything went downhill. It made my face break out with lots of big pimples that looked like cysts that wouldn't go away. I was in a super terrible moody 24/7, got annoyed very easily, and completely lost my sex drive. Not to mention the super bad cramps and the fact that I bled for probably 3 weeks straight during the month I was on it. Just stopped taking it because it's literally ruined my life and my poor boyfriend has had to deal with my hideous mood and disinterest in sex for too long. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND"


"For 9 months I was taking Gleevac for ALL (Acute Lymphoblasic Leukemia) and it was causing me to have at least one blood transfusion a week.  I started taking Sprycel and a year later I have not had to have one blood transfusion."


"Had my period May 6, had sex and the condom broke on May 20, took plan b within 8 hours.
All my friends, sisters, cousins have taken plan b once in their life and it has always worked so of course I felt relieved.
Apparently what no one tells you is that if you are already ovulating, plan b is not effective.
Missed my period by a week and decided to go to the doctors to have a blood test done to confirm if I was pregnant.
Just found out the news today-- I AM PREGNANT."


"I have been taking Vistaril for 3 years. It really as helped my stress level go down."


"I've been on contrave two and a half weeks. I never had the urge to want to work out before but since I've started contrave I feel like working out all the time. The only side effect I have is diarrhea after eating. I haven't changed my diet and still easy when I'm hungry but I don't crave all the foods I use to. I crave sweet stuff but not sugary stuff like candy. Typically fruits cure this craving. I have not lost any weight at all, but I want to say that I have lost 2 inches off my waist line. This is probably from going to the gym and gaining muscle.  I go on the 17th for my 1 month check up and can't wait to see what the doctor says. My nurse has been on it for 3 months and lost 40 pounds so I'm hoping to have some good results too."


"Having had a serious addiction to alcohol for 8 years, and oscillated between sobriety and extreme alcoholism, I have had Librium on more occasions than I wish to remember.  Under NO condition self-detox or go cold turkey. It's not like what you see in the media about locking a heroin addict in a room for 3 days of hell and then they are fine. Alcohol withdrawls will KILL you. I have tapered myself on several occasions, and suffered seizures, extreme sickness, sweats etc. Librium won't cure you of the disease, but will stop you from dying when trying to get sober. Every time you have to detox, your body becomes a bit more used to Librium, and your detox is longer."


"Been on it for almost 4 months. Depression not much better. Severe appetite increase, irritability, and very itchy skin. Going to see my psychiatrist next week to change again..."


"Took Delsym 12 hour cough and after about 2 hours got terrible stomach pains and diarrhea. It wasn't very good at suppressing my cough either! Be warned, I would never take it again!"


"I've had multiple sclerosis for almost 10 years and have been on pretty much every other MS therapy there is (Copaxone, Rebif, Tysabri, Gilenya, Tecfidera) and had horrible reactions with all these meds. Aubagio is the only medication that I don't have major side effects on. When I first started there was some nausea and flu-like symptoms but they dissipated after the first month. I haven't had any recent flairs and I used to take Nuvigil for fatigue, but have found that I don't need it since I've started Aubagio. The One-to-One nurses are friendly, but extremely unhelpful. They basically regurgitate the same verbiage that's on their website and can rarely answer my questions."


"Positive: I had this for about 2 years now. I'm not pregnant! My periods are lighter. I don't have to remember to take pills everyday, sometimes I forget it's in my arm. Did not hurt when it was first inserted and it took like 5 mins. Left a minor bruise but went away in no time.

Negative: Although my periods are lighter they are also longer and I hate it. Last about 2 weeks, sometimes over. Hair got thinner since I've had this and it is beyond difficult to lose weight. I'm was one of the slum girls who could eat whatever and never gain weight. I've gained 24 pounds since I've been on this and I have been dieting and exercising for the past 3 months trying to be summer ready. So far I only lost 5 pounds "


"This drug has changed my life! I have dealt with chronic constipation and bloat for 30 years. Not any more! I started taking it everyday but now take as needed due to having regular bm's on my own since starting this drug.
I see people stating it doesn't work for them. Trick is to drink at least 8oz. of water with it 30 minutes before you eat. The more water, the faster/better it works. I have bm' s within an hour every time.
Cost. I have insurance and the company has an online coupon code to use at the pharmacy. Regular cost is $410.00, with insurance is $150.00, and with coupon it costs me $60.00. That's still expensive but better than $150.00.
I love this medication! Happy pooping!"


"I got ParaGard yesterday. I'm a 20 y/o with no kids who's never had a Smear done and I was super nervous about getting my ParaGard in after reading a lot of reviews. I chose ParaGard because it is hormone free as I was having not great experiences with other pill forms of birth control including hair loss, as well as my thyroid acting up. I went to PP to get the IUD. I'm not going to say it was painless but not at all as bad as I had read. It felt like a huge cramp and the pain went away the second she was done which took about 2 minutes. It's extremely quick and worth it. I cramped all that day but then when I woke up I felt fine with a light discharge that is very normal. 10 years is worth the cramps."


"Three months on Cymbalta now and doing ok. I posted before that I started out on a very small dose and over 6 weeks got it up to 30 mg. I felt better than I ever had in my life! Then I tried to get it up further but suffered from horrible constipation and gas. Took me a while to know why, but now I am going back to 30 because I think that might be the right dose for me. It's all a bit experimental, but I do know that I couldn't bear to feel like I did before with no medicines. Just so anxious all the time for no reason, had to stop doing a lot of things in life, altogether so much less than I could be. Still grateful for this medicine."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Absolutely fine stuff.  It doesn't need anything added to it.  I put ice cubes in it and chugged it right down and sipped on it and frankly it was almost good.  Definitely not gag worthy and if crystal light were to be included, it would be disgusting.  It tastes like lemonade.  I really don't think most people need the second day.  I took it this morning but only half and let's just say I know what the toilet should look like and it's practically clear.  BTW  I made turkey broth from scratch and drank that and tea as well as white wine after dinner. (Hey that's a clear juice drink)

So don't let people scare you.  A nation of wusses, I say."


"Garbage. It takes it away for a little while and right back again it comes. I been going through this for 15 years now. As far as I'm concerned this medicine causes it to reoccur which I feel like the government and pharmaceuticals  purposely did to make MONEY."


"When this drug is given regularly, can give the life back to the patients. I have seen their hygiene get better and them get more social."


"I had an allergic reaction from this medication. It blew my face up, made my break out in a real bad rash"


"Took some samples and it worked great but unfortunately my cost with insurance is 50% of the total. It's too expensive."


"Stelara has been great. I have experienced no side effects and I just got my second shot and my Psoriasis is 90% faded after 4 weeks since my first shot.

Basically if your insurance will cover it's realistically a miracle. Good luck reader. I hope you have a similar experience of success."


"I used restasis for several years and it worked.  My insurance stopped covering it which forced me to switch to xiidra which they do cover.  Xiidra doesn't work well and is very gooey.  Makes my vision blurry for up to an hour and irritates my sinuses due to the viscouness.   I think it's a placebo and a marketing scam.   Does not work well.  Insurance should stop practicing medicine."


"My son is in high school and has taken this for 7 months. It changed his life. His anxiety over school was out of control to the point he had to be inter graded back into school. He tried Ativan and had horrible side effects and he was reluctant to try anything else after that. After about 3 months on the Buspar he walks tall into school. No more looking over his shoulder or panic attacks out to f nowhere. We wish he would've taken this years ago. The only side effect he complains of is tiredness and occasional headache. The tiredness was more so in the beginning. Those side effects are minuscule compared to his anxiety before taking Buspar."


"2 days in and the hot flashes are GONE. After 10 YEARS in which the only thing that worked (and I tried everything under the sun) was HRT. So glad I found paroxetine."


"I have been on numerous birth controls, but I got a blood clot about a year ago and I am no longer allowed to be on estrogen for the rest of my life so I started on the progesterone pills and they didn't stop my period so I got this implant and I have been straight bleeding for about three months straight with no break. Not even kidding this birth control is the worst and this isn't just spotting it's heavy bleeding, I'm never happy anymore either I've had it for about five months and I'm getting it taken out to put and IUD in I can't even believe they market this as a valid birth control what woman would want such an irregular period"


"This medicine is really great for pain. Down side makes my blood pressure rise."


"I have only been on Apri for about a month now and I love it. I have not gained any weight, my sex drive is the same it was before I started taking the pill and my insurance covers it. I get it for no cost at all. I don't know why everyone thinks that one pill is going to give everyone that takes it the same side effects. Every person is going to have different side effects and some will have the same but the pill is going to react different to every women who takes it. This pill overall is my favorite. I absolutely love this pill. It's effective and affordable."


"So I got the Mirena put in in January. And so far I get headaches everyday, I feel nauseous about half the day. Basically I feel pregnant the whole time. But the Mirena is working birth control wise. Worry free sex with my husband makes up for all of the symptoms."


"I've had the implant for four months now and haven't had a single period. I've had no side effects such as weight gain. Overall I love Nexplanon."


"I started Belviq 3 months ago and have lost 25 pounds so far.  I don't feel hungry, have so much more energy.  Had a little dizziness at first, but went away.  I am a 57 year old female.  Started at 229 and am now at 204.  I have been active, but need to step up the treadmill to keep the metabolism moving. Cut out soda and only have a glass or two of wine on the weekend.  Mindful eating and listening to when my body tells me I am full really helps.  This has been a lifesaver for me.  30 more pounds to go in 3 or 4 more months.  Taking this slow to keep it off for good."


"Placed on this drug after my insurance changed and didn't cover Saxenda for weight loss anymore. Lost 17 lbs on saxenda in 2 months. So far less side effects than saxenda gave me, haven't vomited once. Nausea is there and I'm tired, but still able to work 70 hour weeks. Still able to eat, just full with less intake which is exactly what I need. Lost 4 lbs this week. Taking alongside metformin 1000mg twice a day. Everyone is different, it just might be worth a shot for you."


"This works fantastically for me and it has for 7 years!"


"I was prescribed Cymbalta 60mg a day I take it in the evening to help with stress & depression.  The side effects of dry mouth & loss of appetite only lasted about a week and a half then subsided away.  My depression has been improving but I must say a big benefit for me also has been my back pain, that has had me almost crippling at times, is about non existent, which I realized must be from the Cymbalta.  Anyway so far so good."


"I had a tough time with my periods since day 1. Always excruciatingly painful, bloating, vomiting, heavy and lengthy 9+days. I had to miss a lot of school and later on had to miss a lot of work. Quality of life was very poor. I always had to plan my life around when my period would be coming because I knew all plans would have to be cancelled. Natazia changed all of that. I have been taking it for 5 years now and these days my periods are super light for 2 days with no pain. Cons.... since I've been on this pill ive noticed my vision has gotten progressively worse, I am moody, I have gained about 10 lbs per year that no amount of diet and exercise seems to be able to fix and finally I have NOsex drive, putting a strain on my relationship"


"I was scared to get Mirena after reading all the horror stories but got it anyways and I'm liking it so far! I'm 20 years old with no kids. Cramping during insertion and off and on for a few days after, nothing unbearable. Skin has gotten better and I've actually lost weight but this might not have anything to do with Mirena. Only downside is I'm still spotting but my doctor said it should be gone within a month or so. No pain during sex and my boyfriend says he can't feel the strings either. Would definitely recommend! Don't let all the horror stories scare you."


"I was given 25 mg Nortryptyline for shingles pain, along with Gabapentin, and Tramadol for shingles and back pain. I now have PHN, I have had this pain for 6 months now. I had pretty severe  burning pain. Within 3 days the burning stopped. Most of the pain went away except at night. I went up on the gabapentin several times. I didn't want to go up on Nortryptyline due to side effects ( extreme dry mouth, and it was hard to wake up in the morning). Occasionally I miss a dose on accident, I go to sleep without it. I will hurt so much that I can't do anything but sit and use ice packs all day. Also my pain will be much worse for 3 whole days following a missed pill. This has happened 5-6 times. Nortryptyline is the most effective medicine I ta"


"I notice that my daughter was having problems in fifth grade would not sit still and would always be getting up to throw paper out and would know who was the last one that went to the restroom.  I spoke to the teacher and told them to please evaluate my daughter cause it seems like she has ADHD. They said she was fine. When I started to see her grades they were dropping. I immediately took her to Miami Children's Hospital to the neurologist and they tested her, filled out some papers and yes she was has ADHD.  I've tried Concerta, Strattera, Vyvanse and Adderall but the best medicine that has worked for my daughter is Intuniv!  She had all F's and now 15 years old and first year of high school she has all A's and B's. Thank you Intuniv!!!"


"I love Mononessa. I used to have extremely painful cramps, I would have to miss work and school because I was in so much pain, and  Mononessa has definitely helped. At first it didn't seem to help with the cramps so I went back to my doctor and she uped my dosage. My periods come on the exact same day every month which is really nice. I definitely don't have as heavy of a period and it normally lasts 3-4 days. I do seem to be a little more emotional the week before I start but I never had any weight gain/loss issues with it."


"Cymbalta made me very depressed and very nauseated, but my doctor wanted me to give it a month to see if my symptoms got better. Symptoms didn't improve."


"I find it nearly impossible to see how MS contin 30 is equivalent to 20mg of oxycodone. In comparison, they are night and day different. The MScontin hardly does a thing at all! The oxycodone helped much, much more. Two of my back  doctors took me off it because others abuse it.  Seems the doctor's care more about junkies that chronic pain patients."


"I take Bystolic 10mg for high blood pressure and high heart rate. It controls my blood pressure wonderfully but doesn't help my heart rate nearly as well, tends to wear off after about 6 hrs. Also experience some stomach upset but no other side effects."


"I have been on Celexa for almost 2 years & has completely changed my life for the better. I take 40mg once a day. I suffer from severe anxiety, & mild depression. Celexa is my happy pill. My savior. It's the best pill I have ever been on. I am anxiety & depression free all from Celexa. Never once had one side effect. I am full of energy all the time and am happy beyond happy. It took about a good 2 months for the medication to start doing its job. WELL WORTH THE WAIT. I thank my doctor all the time for introducing me to the wonder drug CELEXA. Give it some time to kick in & you'll thank me later. Lol good luck to all."


"After the birth of my child, I had a difficult time sleeping.  The tireder I got the less I could sleep.  My OB gave me Ambien to help me get sleep.  At first I was concerned but I hadn't slept in days so my husband promised to listen for the baby.   I have to say, without this medicine, I would never have made it through my insomnia.  I would advise that if you take this drug, you let a loved one know so they can look out for you.  I have tried to do a few stupid things while on this drug, like put stupid things on facebook and emailing people stupid things.  Each time, my husband stopped me......YOU CANNOT USE THIS MEDICINE WITHOUT A WING MAN!"


"i find this medication works wanders only downside is hypersensitive to Luke warm water feels like I'm standing under boiling water but I find within 30-60 minuets my migraines are gone with some drowsiness"


"I was diagnosed with Lupus (SLE) in 1984, when I was 19 years old.  I have fought it with other medications (Plaquenil, steroids, etc.) my whole life, but always living with the symptoms.  My ANA Titer counts had never got below 640, and there were times when it was out the roof (when it should be less than 40); and of course, the higher it got, the stronger my symptoms became.  At the time I started Benlysta, my ANA was at 680.  After over 2 years on the infusions, my ANA has been registering 39 and 40 - nearly normal.  My symptoms are all but gone, I function at a much higher level.  Other than an occasional slight "icky" feeling after the injections, I've had no side effects that I am aware of being attributable to Benlysta."


"I have been on Trisprintec for three years. I loved this birth control. I had no side effects and liked that the hormones followed my natural cycle (increasing amount for 3 weeks then a period). My periods were always right on time and only lasted 3-4 days. After one month of not using the pill, I was able to quickly get pregnant with my daughter. I don't think you can take the pill while breast feeding but as soon as I am done I will continue the pill again."


"The side effects of this medication were unbearable to the point where I thought I wasn't going to be able to finish the whole 10 day course. It left a disgusting metal taste in my mouth for HOURS. Strong nausea started on day 2 or so, but subsided  around day 5. It can be best described almost like morning sickness a pregnant woman would have. On day 7 it actually gave me acid reflux, which was worrying since I thought the medication wasn't working. I stuck with it and made it to the tenth day, words can't describe the happiness I felt throwing the pill bottle away. As horrible as it was, got retested and H. Pylori is officially gone!"


"Been on diovan for at least three years, suffering many side effects: muscle pain, sudden hairloss and thinning, as well as intermittent tingling on the back of my head. I have also had weight gain,  problems with blood sugar and loss of erections.  I still have sexual desire but my erections aren't adequate. I have pain in my stomach which is increasing with time, sometimes kind of burning like an ulcer and coldness in my feet.  I have also started developing small lumps of fat under my skin and marks on my skin resembling age spots but are not. The pills are not having as good an effect on my blood pressure anymore. It went way up. I  just don't know what medicine to switch to."


"I took the starter dose once and the Doctor took too long to prescribe my reg dose so I had to re-do it again but the first time I took it, I didn't notice any changes besides numbness in my fingers and toes. The second time I took the starter dose it helped with my anxiety and I had regular bowel motion, which was great since my bowel motion is abnormal. My appetite decreased a bit as well, no weight loss though. Then I got on the regular dose and my anxiety has worsen, I don't have an appetite or cravings which causes me to miss meals and I get headaches. I have a cotton/dry mouth, metal taste in my mouth, insomnia, back pain, it's been a week and a half, I've lost 6lbs with regular exercise, not sure if I should wait it out or go on the starter dose again."


"I took two pills, as directed, in the afternoon and by the evening I had cramping. Nothing MAJOR, but enough to keep me uncomfortable. I kept feeling like I had to go to the bathroom, but couldn't. Around 8:30 pm I finally found relief with a BM. Unfortunately, it didn't end there. I have severe runs and have gone to the bathroom several more times. It feels like my stomach acid is burning my anus. I mean, it DID the job, but at what cost? My bottom is burnt. I recommend this as your absolute last resort."


"It has only been a day since my 4 month old son was diagnosed with double lobe pneumonia. I have seen a huge difference within the past 24 hours. It's hard to believe he was sick for 3 weeks prior. We were told it was just a cold. So I took him back every few days until they finally listened to me. He ran 103 fever for about 5 days and it has disappeared. "


"5 and 1/2 years on Tramadol and I was suddenly falling, walking jerkily, imbalanced, vomiting and diarrhea without warning.  I am still diapered but I spent 2 months using a walker.  Meanwhile, my hands became pins and needles, now I have parasthesia up to my bicep on both arms.  It feels like my hands are soapy or I'm wearing sandpaper gloves past my elbows.  My vision is blurry and I can't hold onto anything without dropping it.  Did I mention the itching?  I frequently bathe in oatmeal and claw my arms.  My feet are numb as well.  I know how depressing chronic pain is and I have chronic abdominal pain."


"I was put on Seroquel 300mg it worked great but after a few months started having severe constipation and bloating around the time I took it. Now on on another medicine to see if this resolves. Pray it does."


"Seemed to help the depression but the tiredness left me unable to function. I was on this for a year and was unemployed for most of it, this meant it didn't matter than I found it impossible to wake up before lunch time. No matter how early I took the pill (6pm) I would be sound asleep 20 minutes later and could easily sleep 15-16 hours on these. I recently got a job and could not wake up enough to function at work. I had to stop taking them and now I can easily wake at 7am and last the entire day at work. I would consider these more of a sedative than an antidepressant."


"I have only been on Provigil for a month, but it has caused extreme nausea and headaches. I have a history of cluster headaches and migraines, which had diminished, but are now back in full force. I've also had stomach cancer twice and Provigil makes me very nauseous and losing weight due to an inability to eat. I'm glad that it is effective for some, I just wish that I was in that group because I am TIRED."


"My quality of life before my Dermatologist gave me this drug was HORRIBLE! I was teased as a child, skin was so ugly, and I was told that I looked like the exorcist and elephant man combined. I went through 15 years of, supposedly, the best doctors on the East coast until this wonderful man of a Dermatologist introduced me to the Wonder drug! Kenalog has made me extremely happy with the results I've seen!"


"I have been taking Silenor 3mg for over 6 months now.  I have had zero nights when I have had to get up because of failing to return to sleep.  Most nights I get 7 to 8 hours of sleep.   The only thing different is having vivid dreams most of the time.  Not sure if that means more deep or rem sleep is taking place.  Silenor does not put you to sleep  but it will let you stay asleep.  I highly recommend it for sleep maintenance."


"Efexor has been instrumental in controlling my hot flashes and my mood. The only drawback I find is when I have a lapse; besides the hot flashes getting worse; is brain-zaps, they are annoying but I learned that they are not dangerous. Also the generic is not as effective for me as the brand name. I highly recommend it."


"Having had anxiety since I was a teenager, I'd been taking no drugs at all and just living with  it  until I was given valium by my primary doctor and that helped.

  I had seen a CSW,  a psychologist and finally another psychologist who took me off the valium I'd tried and suggested xanax  and paxil. I've been taking the two drugs : 10 mg. paxil   1x a day and .025 xanax up to 3x a day for 8 months or so, with much success. Can these  meds be taken indefinitely.?"


"I've been on this pill for exactly one year, and only up until this month have I got problems. Throughout the duration, I got more moody and felt more depressed the week before and 2 days into my period,  I get excess yeast exactly one week after my period on the first week of my pill, and lately I've been experiencing nausea, its manageable just very irritating. My doctor suggested I switch to "Lolo" but besides that, this pill was very easy and the side effects didn't last long. They just gave me bad cramps instead of reducing it."


"I am doing good while on haldol, still a bit of anxiety, but I can cope it is way more controlled now. Not sure I will ever be not sick, I am taking 20 drops in the morning and 10 in the mid day, 5mg pill before night...My sleep is very good, no dreams....That is a huge step with controlling my PTSD....I feel good during the day and can function, only downside, Im a bit of a hermit do not really want to leave my house....In all I think a good drug for those who need it..."


"Unless you REALLY need this drug, I do not recommend it. That being said, if you are 80-100+lbs overweight, it is worth a try. It has cut my appetite/cravings for any food, not just junk. Female, 30, 5'9", starting wt 260(ish). Started Contrave approx 6 weeks ago; have had nearly every side effect: nausea, constipation, headache, dizziness, trouble sleeping, dry mouth, bad taste in mouth, and tremors. I also got two of the less common ones: tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and menstrual irregularities. Most of the side effects DO go away. I still get migraines a couple times a week/a few times a wk before this. The constipation, trouble sleeping, and tinnitus remain. I am down 16lbs in 6 wks tho. Would 2-3lbs be more if I was less constipated"


"I have just started on 10mg inderal a day thank god and my Dr and for the med I'm hospitalized with fx hip started having terrible hot flashes  shaking and crying couldn't stop until they started me on inderal couldn't belive how they stopped and how my mind cleared up thank you"

"After 25 years of suffering with migraines I've finally found something that works, bearing in mind I'm only 27. Although when my dose is increased I have really bad gastroenteritis and my taste has completely changed not to mention my weight loss, this is a really powerful drug. I believe it is working for me.

Ok, I am now updating my review...I am now 37 years old and I still take the Topamax daily, 25 mg in the morning and 50 mg at night. It works for me really well. Maybe 1 migraine a month and it is very manageable with Relpax. I still get a little bit of tingling in my hands and feet, and my weight has stabilized. I love Topamax. The only complaint I have is the price."


"Caused hair loss, moods were crazy- very anxious and memory loss.  After 8 weeks the weight loss is not worth it. 5lbs and I bet that was just in hair loss! "


"I have experienced most of the side effects and considering I had anorexia nervosa when I was young and still forget to eat for up to 10 days or more. I don't know if I should be taking this??? My doctor knew this but still prescribed it...WHY?!?"


"I've been on this pill for about 2 years. I originally started taking it to relieve my horrible periods, not to avoid pregnancy. I normally have really horrible periods that last 7-9 days with heavy bleeding, immobilizing cramping, and sometimes nausea. Thank God for this pill! The first 6 months I would have periods every 2 weeks, and with every month they got lighter and lighter until my period disappeared completely. I will occasionally spot, but it will only last a day or two. I have NO cramps (such a life saver!). I have taken other birth control pills and none of them worked this well for me.
As far as side effects, I have absolutely NO sex drive and bad acne (I used to have a really clear face)."


"45 year old woman, 138lbs 5'7".
Started at 25mg and titrated slowly. Noticed within a week my stress responses improved. Continued to increase as no change to organisation, memory or attention. Felt ok even at 100mg. Then since I started 120mg, I feel quite unwell. I don't think I'm unable to sustain this dose as side effects are strong: nausea after 1hr of ingestion, tiredness, feeling as though I've had too much strong coffee. The S/E definitely more pronounced if I'm not doing anything so I try and stay active and never take this on an empty stomach!
I'll give it 2 more weeks at 120mg (which will be 6 weeks total) then gently titrate down. It gives me palpitations, too, which make me unhappy.
I get this free on NHS in UK."


"After having my daughter in 07 I decided to go with the Implanon rod which my doctor recommended after they discovered I had endometriosis.   Reading over everyone's comments I see that a lot of people complain over weight gain/loss and depression but to my surprise I've never experienced it.  The only thing that I could really agree on is when your cycle can last a long time or you can be very fatigued.  Well since my 3 yrs were up in Oct 2010 I did become one of the few to get the rod replaced and continue on with it.  I'm hoping though that over time I will no longer need this rod and continue on with a normal life.  This rod is a WONDERFUL thing and I wouldn't trade it at all."


"I suffered from anxiety and chronic depression for over 20 years. Got a doctor , she started me on Ecitalopram and with in 5 days i noticed a difference in my anxiety. I felt hungover for the first couple days i started on 5mg. After two weeks, i upped to 10mg, and felt hungover for another 2 days. After that, I've been great for 2 months. My sleep was a little jacked for the first month, but overall this has been a huge benefit for my life. I'm consider myself lucky because I know that not everyone's experience is so smooth, but it's definitely worth trying if you've never got treatment before."


"I have had the Implanon since August 2013 and had it removed yesterday at my GP.

I have put on a ridiculous amount of weight use to be a size 6 since having it inserted I am now a 12.

I couldnt cope with the irregular periods and they would last for two weeks.

And then the Pre Menstrual Symptoms I would have them for about three weeks before my period which was horrible.

I would cry all the time or be extremely moody

Glad I have had it taken out"


"I took Dulera 200 for about 3 months.  After a month I experienced heart palpitations (heart rate from 80 to 188 in seconds).  At first it would only last 2-3 minutes.  Then palpitations lasted over an hour, then two hours.  Ended up in the ER four times, twice to receive an IV drug to reset and slow my heart beat.  Cardiologist at the hospital put me on Diltiazem to control my heart rate.  It lowered blood pressure (was already good), but did not stop heart palpitations.  Began having breathing problems and doctor increased Diltiazem dosage.  Experienced worse breathing issues and loss of bladder control.  Finally realized the Diltiazem caused breathing problems and Dulera was causing the racing heart palpitations.  Nightmare!"


"I've had Implanon for the full three years. I am scheduled to have it replaced in a couple of weeks. I've had no problems with it. Compared to previous attempts at birth control my temperament and mood swings have leveled out. My sex drive comes and goes. My weight went up 30lbs and now I'm back down to my original weight. I had sporadic periods for the first couple of months, light and short, then I didn't have another one for two years. About 6-8 months before it was time to replace it I started having regular monthly periods again. They were light and short still but on a regular monthly basis.  The only complaint I have had with it is that the implant "pokes" at the skin sometimes and makes it itch, but nothing worse or longer than a mosquito bite."


"Absolutely fantastic. Had it in for 3 months and have only had light spotting which is getting less with time. Hasn't made me gain any weight! My acne has gotten worse, but it goes through bad patches anyway so don't know if it is related. I got mine inserted surgically and was crampy for first week, but besides from that I'm extremely happy with the outcome."


"1 year using.
Its been frustrating for 2 or 3 times.
The mechanical action of the pen taken in belly area failed to inject.  I now use thighs and arm areas only.
Have used and enjoyed this med. Thanks"


"I am 20 years old and never had a child or been pregnant, and I decided to go with Mirena after much thought. I was pretty nervous going into it, and I'm not going to lie, insertion was pretty painful. I would recommend taking that day off for anyone, but by the next day I felt better, and by the second day I was back to the gym. The first month was pretty much continuous bleeding, but I have now had Mirena for 4 months and I must say the pain of insertion and bleeding was worth it! I would definitely recommend sticking it out, considering that you can keep it for 5 years!"


"This medicine helped it go away completely in the 7 day treatment but it is the WORST thing I have ever tasted in my life and it has come back afterwards."


"I tried 2 different statins that caused me horrid pains while sleeping, and refused to use them again.  Insurance would not allow Livalo unless I suffered for at least 6 months with a cheaper statin.

Doctor gave free samples to me, and I cut them in half to use.  Felt pain the first day used, and stopped med after 3 days.

No different from cheaper statins."


"Ok I was just prescribed this today.I just read the reviews and am very excited to get the same results.I'm at 275 now on 6/2/15.I will update in a month..."


"I reviewed this drug in August of 2014, also with a 9 rating. I want to update my experience, though.

I went from 180 to 140 in around 2 1/2 months. I kept it off completely for 7 months (even through winter and the holidays) after discontinuing belviq.

However, I quit smoking 5 weeks ago, ordered about 5 lbs of gummy bears to help, and gained almost 10 lbs. I don't even care. It was worth it to stop smoking, and I started my Belviq again and it's working beautifully again.

I want to add- my favorite part of this medication is how it eliminates my sugar and carb cravings, even alcohol, and instead makes me crave salads and protein. I don't know how it does this, but it's amazing stuff."


"Maxalt MLT has been the best Migraine medicine for me for almost 30 years and took it during Six pregnancies without any complications. I am only sorry Insurance will allow 9 a month :..("


"Nauseated, vomiting, diarrhea. Tried different doses and the same thing. I did lose weight and my blood sugars did go down. It's a great medicine just not for me."


"I've had cronic migraines since I was 14 and I was put on topamax at 16 at 50mg  I've been on it for 4 years now and its worked great for me until recently when I delt with the loss of my father and started experiencing light head aches so my doctor upped me to 100mg, 50mg in the morning and 50mg at night and I haven't gotten a migraine since. Its also helped me as a mood stabilizer too, I would recommend this medication if over the counter drugs aren't working for your migraines it really does wonders"


"I started in July, it's been 3 months.  I have had the foot issue for years, so I suspect it will take some time to heal.  I do see proper coloring showing up at the bottom of the nail, so I am hopeful.  The new clear part looks good.  It's too bad that it is probably going to take a year for the entire nail to show up correctly.  I have had no side effects, and if I had a loss of appetite or taste, I would be incredibly happy that the medicine would solve two problems at once.

Cost-wise, I think that the entire bottle will last the full time."


"It's not for everyone."


"I have been on pretty much every antidepressant that is out there.  Nothing has really helped and the few times I felt a slight improvement in my condition, the side effects outweighed the benefits.  Pristiq has been totally different.  Within a week of starting it I see a positive change.  My overall mood is better, I have more energy, and I am more productive.  Also, when my mood does take a dip, it seems that the "bottom" has been raised.  In other words, the lows aren't as low as they once were.  I have only been on it a couple of weeks and I am told that I still may not be experiencing the full benefit, which is great considering how much better I already feel.  No side effects whatsoever.  Very grateful for this medication."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"If I could give this rating a zero I would. A total waste of $120.00. Took both doses and nothing happened but I felt bloated. Thank goodness I had an oral bottle of Fleet's Phospho Soda in the house. It did the trick."


"I had read up on this drug before using it and multiple sources stated that it could help with depression. I was on it for about a week before I noticed any positive changes in my mood, so I can attest to its effectiveness against combating depression.

The downside for this drug is that I experienced all of the "less" severe symptoms and I must say that they were pretty sever. On the second day of taking the drug I experienced dizziness to the point that I fainted in public and that very same day I had a horrible bout of nausea and vomiting. I vomited to the point that there was nothing left in my stomach and I was just vomiting bile and blood from my raw throat.

This works great for depression but I'm going to use something else."


"My Dr. switched me from Diovan HCT to Losartan because of costs.  Losartan has worked well for keeping blood pressure steady.  In addidtion, I have Type 2 Diabetes and take Cialis 5mg daily.  Interestingly, Losartan has greatly helped with erections, as well.  In doing further investigation,  I have discovered that other men have had similar experiences.  While not meant to be a medicine for erectile dysfunction, it has greatly helped men, especially when used in combination with Cialis."


"I just started my third week and now up to 2 pills 2x a day. I'm 5'7 and weighed 205. I now weigh 195 with a weight loss of 10lbs and feel great. I am amazed that my cravings are gone and reach for more healthy options. I do have the occasional headache, dry mouth and constipation, but it is tolerable. I am motivated that this may finally be my key to substantial weight loss...I'm feeling optimistic.  Hoping for another 10 in 3 weeks.  Will check in."


"I'm at the end of my third month and I couldn't be happier. The only side effects I've had are a heightened sense of smell (can't deal with most smells anymore) and a recurring dizzy feeling. Since this is my first pill I can't really compare it to anything, but as everyone should when taking a medication, I'm going to stick with it for a while and give my body time to adjust. I am very happy with this pill the only worry I have is the mention of breast enlargement. A big chest runs in my family and I can't afford to get any bigger. "


"I was put on 10mg of Ambien after I was having trouble sleeping during a breakdown. I made the mistake one night of taking it and then answering the phone, I was on the phone for an hour.....Oh man, the cupboard moved all on it own,t hen they were strange people walking up and down the stairs in my house. Strange thing is I thought this was funny. I fell down twice, once breaking a little coffee table. Luckily for me my partner was there to help me up the stairs and put me to bed. I now only take 5mg about an hour before bed and it really relaxes me and makes me forget all problems. I don't have any trouble sleeping anymore as such just the odd night here and there."


"I had unprotected sex Nov 28. I took the pill 12 hours later. I was just sleepy. No pain for me. I had my period before was Nov 23 so I had to wait. My period was 5 days late so I took pregnancy tests and they came out negative. 10 days late and I finally got my period!"


"This is my second time on Macrobid both times given during pregnancy. The first time it made me extremely sick and I took it after a light snack and drank milk. I felt so bad I couldn't stomach taking the pill again. This time around I got a urinary tract infection so bad I was having very bad pains under my ribs so I figured the sickness from the antibiotic was better then the severe pain I was having. I started the meds four days ago now and I feel 100% better! Before every dose I eat a COMPLETE MEAL so that my stomach is coated and I have not had one side effect besides drowsiness which I don't mind as much, but the pain is gone and I am back to my normal self. I am so happy the pills worked so fast and with food leave me perfectly fine."


"Instead of calming me down and relaxing me from my anxiety and panicky feelings it made them extremely worse. I thought I was going to loose my mind. Well actually for a brief time I did. It caused me to have a nervous breakdown. This was only on the second day I took it. I didn't know what was going on or what was happening. I thought I was going to loose my mind and before I knew it I slit one of my wrist. I have never had any intention of doing this before taking Ativan. Thankful help came and I got 8 staples put in my wrist were I cut it. I will never take this medicine ever again. I just warn to be very careful taking this medicine. I have never had any reactions to medicines before until this medicine I took back in Sept 16, 2015."


"I took Benicar for 12 years or more and went through the leg cramps etc. but it worked well on my BP. I would get kidney infections occasionally but didn't know why. One day a few years ago I came down with painful gout. My new doctor took me off Benicar right away. She said it contributed to my gout flare ups because it affected my kidneys. I was so angry because I didn't know and hadn't read up on it. Have your kidneys check regularly while taking this med. Now through diet and another BP med I do well with the Gout, however I wish I hadn't taken Benicar so long and had it affect my kidneys.  Be careful!"


"I am still on this medication right now. The first four days I started feeling better. The taste is awful. I experienced 3 side effects, and by day 5 I actually started throwing up. Looking into something less harsh on my stomach."


"Started of on 10 mg for anxiety and depression, didn't feel any different but felt irritated and snappy at everyone. Nurse practitioner just bumped me up to 20 mg and I feel better and it's only been week! Hopefully this will take the edge off so I can more enjoyable to be around."


"Intolerable side effects - impotence, tired/fatigued, increased appetite and weight, restlessness/insomnia"


Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection

"I am starting on my second week of a 28 day regimen of Zyvox. I have had a Staph infection for over a year that will go away after being lanced, and then come right back in a different place. So far, the infection is gone, and am praying that it doesnt come back. There has been some nausea, stomach aches, and being more tired than normal. Would take that any day over the pain of a severe Staph infection."


"It's best to be aware of all possible side effects before using anything near your Iadybits. I purchased a generic miconazole 7 day treatment. The burning and itching was more intense than the actual infection, but something I could ignore. The real problem was the allergic reaction that caused a bumpy rash on my inner thighs! Cream leaked out onto my skin which resulted tender red itchy eruptions. Due to my athletic frame with meaty thighs that touch, this was a recipe for disaster. I regained a sense of normalcy in about a day after I stopped the medication, cleansed and disinfected with alcohol in areas where I scratched plus used cornstarch/baby powder to keep the area dry. Who wants a rash in addition to a yeast infection?"


"Used Elidel for 10 years. In days flare ups would clear up . Side effects skin would feel hot. After 10 years my body build up a tolerance and doesn't really work anymore."


"for never being on an inhaler before this works very very well. I've had a pretty bad cough for almost 2 years that was diagnosed as rhinitis and we tried nasal sprays and allergy medications this is like a breath of fresh air in my lungs. I'd recommend it, just watch for dry mouth!"


"After ER episode for atrial fib (which I believe was one-time stress-induced issue) I was bullied into taking this med by hospital upon discharge. My job as a knowledge worker requires me to *think* for a living. I'm considered an expert in my field.
This damn drug put me in a mental fog to the point that I stared at the computer screen wondering what I was looking at.
My mood became aggressive, depressed and I felt increasingly isolated, listless, tired, but hard to sleep.
I gained about 15 lb with no change in diet, in fact I probably ate less. I lost desire for my usual workout routine.
After weaning off after 6 months, and now taking only daily aspirin, I'm back to my happy self, focussed and motivated.
This is a bad drug, IMO."


"I've had my mirena IUD in for about two months and I couldn't be happier. Getting it in was more painful than I expected and I had fairly intense cramping for about twelve hours afterward. By the next day I was at 100% and have had very few side effects. The spotting can be annoying, but my regular period has stopped entirely and my doctor says the spotting will stop soon. I wish I had done it earlier!"


"I've been using Carac off and on for over a year.  I did my face for three weeks, then my chest, then my back.  I am now going back over specific areas of my face.  This cream is amazing.  It is somewhat painful and quite unattractive visually as you are going through the treatment, but the results are worth it.  My skin doesn't have rough red patches of scaly skin anymore and no more discoloration.  I would definitely recommend it!"


"I loved this pill. I was taking it for PMDD as well as very painful and heavy periods. I took or for about three months with no side effects except my breasts grew a full cup size and were incredibly sensitive. Then on my fourth month I had breakthrough bleeding the whole month! I wish this hadn't happened as I was really happy with Yaz. My doctor just switched me to Yasmin,  so we will see!"


"Prescribed this medicine on Saturday along with a burst of prednisone for 5 days. Cefdinir really cleared my condition but the side effects caused me to discontinue after 6 days due to chronic diarrhea which has not stopped after stopping this medicine. Unusual fatigue. 1 day no urine. Lost 10 lbs. Will avoid using this drug."


"I took my first Ambien last night. I laid in bed for almost an hour before I took it, then after taking the Ambien I would say I fell asleep within 15 minutes. I did wake up twice during the night but went right back to sleep and woke up at 6:15 this morning with a clear head and refreshed. At this point, I think Ambien rocks. I have always had trouble shutting down my mind and falling asleep. I have tried numerous prescriptions and over the counter medications with unsatisfactory results."


"I have used this medicine. For a stap bacterial infection. Normally 9 years ago it would work rapidly and in 10 days  it would be completely gone. But it has come back several times through the years. Now with this last infection I'm having to take double the dose, every 12 hours and I notice it is been hard it to get rid of. I'm hoping I won't get this skin boil again because I'm afraid of the antibiotics are not working  100%. What other options are there to take? But the bactrim is been my saver, til now"


"I`ve been on truvada daily for more than 5 years. I have had numerous problems tho it has kept my viral load undetectable. Most recent issues are elevated creatine, elevated lipase, UTI`s, nausea, vomiting, bloating. They are slowly ruling out all other causes but I am suspecting it is the meds. I started on truvada, norvir and lexiva but after a few years on that combo my liver began to fail. They stopped the HIV meds then but opted to reintroduce the truvada as it's excreted thru kidneys and added isentress. That was changed to tivicay and truvada which is my current regimen."


Conjugated estrogens / medroxyprogesterone

"I have been struggling with night sweats, flashes and mood swings.  I have noticed caffeine and stress brings on the flashes. I haven't figured out what starts the night sweats, so i keep my house 70 degrees and below sometimes to sleep.  I noticed that when I put a washcloth next to my bed (in a plastic bag not to ruin furniture) at night to place on my chest when the flashing starts, helps it to subside immediately.  I am on day for of the Prempro and this stuff is awesome.  The frequency of the flashing has decreased and when it tries to come back it isn't as intense.  I think taking it the same time everyday has helped with that.  I will sit down maybe an hour after taking the Prempro and it feels like I'm super relaxed or sleepy."


"I actually like it. I did not always remember to take the pill. When I first put the ring in I had brown discharge for about a week which was annoying but once I got past it, it was okay. The only thing I don't like it absolutely no sex drive. I'm switching back to the pill."


"Worst ever do not get..I did not stop bleeding for 6 months started getting tired all the time...nausea..extremely crabby with mood swings n started developing depression a couple weeks before removing it!! Also met several other woman within a short period of time that had the same problems"


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"In the beginning I was very moody for the first two months, but it keeps my periods regular which is nice. I switched to safryal from loestrin due to stress induced breakthrough bleeding. This pill is very effective as a contraceptive so far, and that would be so helpful if I actually had 1/4 of the sexdrive I used to have before using it. Once I hit the 3rd month it declined drastically. My boyfriend and I went from having sex on average 6 times a week down to maybe once every couple of weeks and that only happens because I feel terrible that Im not as into it as I used to be. It's not that anything in that department has changed, I just don't want it. At this point I'd rather go back onto loestrin. I would've continued it if I could've."


"So I am literally up at 2 am in the morning I used the ovule at around 10:40  because I thought I should be laying down for the most effective result. Boy do I regret just not going to the doctors for a pill. It is burning and itching I'm currently sitting up  to ease the burning/itching sensation. I have done this method before I do remember this experience I don't think it lasted this long or was this aggravating will not use again I believe just about everyone goes through this process if using.  I do remember it eventually calming down and was a relief after it goes through its course but in the mean time it's not comfortable at all."


"I had been taking vyvanse for a little of a month now for adhd and binge eating. it has worked well so far. I'm able to concentrate and have a little more energy. I felt no side effects at all,and I'm one who is scared to take a vitamin. I was on topamax for binge eating and it was the worse experience in the 37 years of my existence. I had already managed to loose a little weight on this so far."


"I have had the nexplanon for over a year and it has worked fabulously. I have two chdren and wanted a long term birth control that I didnt have to remember every day. I've had one period since getting it put in. Which hurt like hell that's why Im rating it a nine. I lost 20 pounds while on it and my sex drive has gone up. My relationship needed that. It has been my most positive experience with a form of birth control."


"Keeps the crazies at bay (mostly) - the delusions, etc."


"Took it over three days, caused headaches but I continue to take it as I need it. If it does not get better, I may get another antibiotic."


"Extreme headaches, stomach issues.  Bathroom issues also"


"I belive this is a great pain medicine it is a shame too many people abuse it and it makes it hard for people who need it for a medical condition to get it. I have had a serious back injury I have been dealing with for over 6 years and I am allergic to asprin and ibuprofen and this is a medicine i can take that kills the pain."


"I was prescribed this because I had an infection in my ankle due to an impacted metal.  While I waited for surgery to remove it I was prescribed this for a period of two weeks.  I was extremely dizzy and weak on it.  Thankfully the podiatrist that ended up doing the surgery changed me to another antibiotic that had no side effects and kept me infection free until the surgery could be performed. "

"I rate it a 10. This is the ONLY drug that helps my gastrointestinal problems.  I have only been prescribed it twice in several years but, when it was prescribed, the drug took away the pain in the chest and it did not come back. It is great."


"Update. Start using 8/14/17 at 213lbs.  I am currently at 3.0 dosage and I switched to taking the shot in the morning.  I experienced mild nausea, I would eat a couple crackers and that helped the nausea.  I started drinking Slim Fast shakes for breakfast and still at the 1300 caloric intake.  Today September 25,  I weighed in at 197lbs.  So I have lost 16 lbs."


"1st day, I'm excited, praying this works, I have been wanting to  quit smoking cigarettes for sooooo long, the worst addiction i have ever fought.  I have had many BAD addictions that I was able to overcome with God's help of course.  Sometimes I believe even God has to use medications with some people who are more difficult...like me...!"


"I have just recently changed from Metformin to Janumet 50mg /500mg one tablet twice daily with food and have suffered from headaches nausea and some dizziness. I have seen two Dr's one advised to stay on metformin as its has maintained good results for many years and Janumet is still a more recent medicine in AUstralia. The other Dr advised that Janument will control my levels a lot better and decrease the situation of gaining weight even though in the early stage have some side effects. I intend to continue with Janumet for another month hoping for improvement, aged 70."


"I am nausea-prone. Took Emend for 8 months of a potent cocktail of infused chemo - with NO nausea at all! This medicine is a God send, its only downside is the high cost."


"I was diagnosed in May 2014 and started taking Sprycel within the week. After 6 months I was at .01% of the BCR-ABL abnormality.  Great results, right?  But I felt awful.  After dealing with minor side effects of acne, sore breasts, weight gain and a low mood, the severe fatigue and chest pain were enough to stop.  I'm now on Gleevec and starting to experience extreme thirst and weight gain.

Very grateful there are medications that treat CML but frustrated with the inevitable side effects."


"I practically had to beg my local physician to put me on this medication.  Oddly enough, he had never heard of it and had never prescribed it.  I was 160 pounds, 5'5", with high blood pressure.  The high blood pressure qualified me as a candidate for Qysmia, since I was not obese.  The cost of the medication is not cheap, and is not covered by insurance.  The first few days on the introductory dose I gained about a pound and was so sleepy I thought I had been given sleeping pills. But, then, I seemed to hit some kind of stride, because the weight started dropping at the rate of a pound a day. I can't look at bread without getting the urge to vomit. Anything with sugar tastes like metal.  In the morning, I drink a big cup of coffee."


"I was on this for about two years. I gained 20lbs from it. But I needed to regulate my period. Also my thyroid levels always changed drastically on this, while off it not too bad. Trinessa also made my breast hurt so bad, showers were horrible with the water hitting them. I feel bloated half the month and irritated that this is the only birth control I can afford because Insurance won't cover even with my condition. Also my eyes always were dry and itchy."


"Diamox changed my life I had 24/7 pressure headache for 7 years of my life I went everywhere even to the mayo clinic and had test after test and scan after scan and finally my local neurologist tried this medication and it has made me able to live again for the first time in 7 years! I was diagnosed with chronic daily headache and told I would never get better but to everyone suffering there is hope don't believe what a few drs say keep searching for answers. Try this medication if nothing else has worked for you!"


"Started Qsymia 2 weeks ago today..love it..down 9lbs just on the 2 week free trial. I have no taste at all for sodas ( and I would drink at least 4 can drinks a day) my food intake has decrease in half. I don't feel hungry. My energy has increased. Only side effect is insomnia- hoping that will wear down in a few days. My cost with coupon $114 and insurance will not help pay but well worth the cost!  Would recommend to anyone to try at least for free for 2 week free trial. Love it!!"


"Works better than tylenol as pain releiver. With no side effects."


"I dose injection yesterday.  Severe pain last night and today.  Nausea and chills"


"Changed from several pills a day to the new Hysingla ER. Was hoping it was something I would like better for just once a day. I do NOT like this medication. You can not control the peaks due to it being time released and its unpredictable. Causes my eyes to feel heavy and hot.You can not drink at all with this drug, it will cause the medication to be released too quickly, possible overdose. I don't like having no control and I was having break though pain as well."


"I have used it in the past after taking an antibiotic and it works so fast. It is better than doing the over the counter. Do not wait...call doctor and get this medicine. I now know when I'm on any antibiotics doctor prescribes this in addition because I always need it. I had no side effects and if I did it would be worth it just to get better."
