"When I was on the paragard there was not one day I had zero bleeding. So annoying for 5 months. I have never been depressed but when I was on this I was feeling sadness that I've never had. I was SO irritable it was crazy how fast I could snap. I had extreme pain 2 weeks after they put the IUD in like it felt like I was dying. Got an ultrasound and everything was okay....it was so freaking scary though. I was constantly bloated. Sex was painful like very painful and I had zero sex drive. I was always tired. I think I may have had copper toxicity."


"I had the Implanon put in so that I would not have to remember to take the pill. My hormones went sky high and I have been bleeding ever since I got it put in 2 months ago. I do not recommend this to mothers who have just had a baby. Your hormones are already trying to get back to normal and the Implanon will only make it worse. I had it removed last week, I'm still bleeding and my hormones are still high. I would rather take the pill."


"I have been taking Toradol 0 to 3 times a week for about 16 months for traumatic brain injury."


"Best medication for me yet- I have my life back. Give it time and be patient. Let your body adjust to the drug slowly and be sure to stay hydrated and eat enough even though you might not feel hungry. Drinking smoothies helps. Get enough potassium and you wont feel tingly. I can finally go back to being a student and ballet dancer without seizures! Trust me- this medication can give you your life back."


"I had a Duodenal Switch (a major weight loss surgery combining the vertical sleeve with rearranging one's intestines to minimize fat absorption) 9 yrs ago.  Since then I've had probs with gas and a stomach ulcer, both caused by H Pylori.  I've taken Flagyl twice.  I am now on Day 5 of this round, & I don't experience most of the side effects I see described.  (250 mg 3X per day) While the pill doesn't "taste" great, there are other meds that also don't, and I find this no more severe than those.  I don't  have a lingering bad taste.  I've had no diarrhea and have had more regular bowel movements.  I've had almost no gas.  My pain is gone.  I don't feel sick.  I am grateful for this drug!"


"Best drug for me to wake up with good sleep and not have a headache.  I have used it for 8 years for allergies (itchy eyes, bug reactions) and my house always has it in stock.  Love the drug!"


"I have been on this medicine for the last 8 months and it's been the first time that I feel human.  It does stop the symptoms 100%, but I'd say more like 80% which is more than anything else has done. I have some urinary retention issues, so end up peeing more often, but it's worth the peace of mind."


"I've been on birth control for 10 years and had to switch to a progestin version due to high blood pressure.. I had NO problems with my previous birth control, however with Camila I have not stopped spotting since I started it a month and a half ago. I've had headaches almost every day, and hormonal acne has increased (chin and forehead) also my hair has been falling out in clumps! I've never heard of this before and I'm so frustrated. You have to take it at the same time every day too. I'm stopping it today."


"At first I didn't think Buspar would help me since I have always relied on antidepressants for my mostly manageable anxiety with a very occasional Klonopin. But this past year I was diagnosed with bipolar and have been advised that SSRIs could trigger manic symptoms so I am on mood stabilizers but they do not help my ever increasing anxiety. It has gotten so bad I rarely leave the house and can't work. When I started Buspar at 7.5 Mg 2x/day it made me more anxious and all I did was cry for a week but I was encouraged to keep taking it and it would get better and it has! My quality of life is soo much better, I feel normal again. I do get dizzy after my morning dose and need to sit or lay down though for maybe a half hour to an hour."


"It works really well. I have bad back pains bad and my spasms get really bad. I take them as the doctor told me to and I feel a lot better now. "


"I weighed 179 lbs when I began using adipex.  It has been 1 month and I am now 161 lbs.  I don't have any negative side effects and I absolutely LOVE my results."

"I have been taking Seroquel for over a year, and was on 600mg a day! Such a high dose I thought I would see a lot of improvement. I have been on Saphris, Asenapine to treat my schizophrenia for the past month (5mg in the morning and 5mg at night) and have been feeling much more clear minded, better concentration, better mood.  Now I am reducing Seroquel and it is hard!! I have been shaking, hands And I will continue to reduce Seroquel. I would recommend Asenapine to anyone.  Finding life is a bit easier on Asenapine.  The first day I took it I was off my face for half the day and then took a nap too.  By day 4 on asenapine I felt so much better.  Hope this could help someone."


"After being on Depo and two different pills, my gynecologist decided to have me try this one to see if my side affects would be less severe. I mainly got on this because my bf and I wanted to stop using condoms ;) I started this only two months ago (September 2015) and it started out pretty good; no side effects. By October, me and my bf noticed that my boobs were swollen (he enjoyed that) and I am now having painful cramps every other week. Now that it's November, I notice that my sex drive has decreased a little, I have terrible mood swings, and I'm lethargic most of the time :(  But overall, the pill is very effective; my bf has not "pulled out" since I started and still no pregnancy! Totally worth it if you can handle the changes."


"I started taking 105 mg back in September and have lost close to 25lbs.  I started at 210lb in June and lost 25lbs on my own and went to my weight loss Dr who put me on 105 mg a day.  I know weigh about 163.  I love love love this pill. I have almost no side effects except for dry mouth sometimes. I drink plenty of water and I now eat very clean.  I workout 3 to 4x a week. Not too strenuous because of 2 herniated discs.  I highly recommend these pills!!"


"I have bipolar disorder. 11 months in year major depression and 1 month mania. No any laugh in my life. After 7 years i tested just 10mg of ritalin and my life changed. Ritalin make me happy. 20 mg 2 times in a day is perfect dosage for me. But I am NOT suggesting Ritalin for all bipolar patients, Because of the risk of mania.Nobody  likes hospitalization.
It is better to inform your family that you intend to use Ritalin."


"Takes a little getting used too, but once I did I found I liked how it works. I didn't get the side effects like I do with the other brands."


"My eye pressure still varies from 14 to 36.  Combigan did not work for me."


"I got the Nexplanon in Nov 2013. It is definitely the most effective and easiest form of birth control I have experienced. The first 3 months I had some spotting & break through bleeding. Then after 3 months I quit having periods. I have to admit that part is nice! However, I have gained about 25 pounds, averaging 10 pounds per year. I work out on weekends, eat healthy and do what I can to control it but it seems to have minimal impact. I have always been thin. I'm 5'9.5 and had been approximately 130-135 for the past 8 years. Now I'm between 155-160. Also the weight I have put on makes me look pregnant.I have been more mellow and my sex drive has drastically lowered."


"At age 50 spiro has been only thing to help persistent skin problems of a lifetime! Initially, brought on 2 week periods, but this ended by third month."


"In the last year I put on 30lbs going to 207lbs. I have been on Adipex on and off for about 6 weeks. The first 2 weeks I lost 15lbs with diet and exercise, going to 189lbs. I had to stop for a week because I had major constipation. I gained 2lbs back. When I started back with 4 prunes nightly, I have lost another 4lbs. I think the week break helped to get the weight loss started again."


"So far, so good.  I have earlier morning wake up, probably related to a mood disorder.  Unlike the addictive medicines that cause worsening of depression, so far Silenor, that has its roots as an antidepressant, allows me to get a little more shut eye without worsening of my depression symptoms."


"I have Lyme disease. No side effects. Helped with the pain and tiredness associated. It helped increase the antibiotics effects. Great medicine."


"I'm 25 years old and was diagnosed with ADD when I was about 8 years old and also have a processing problem as well. This is the 2nd day I am on it and on 20mg (lowest dose). It takes a little while to kick in but when it does I do get a little jittery (which is a side effect); which only lasts a few minutes.  I concentrate so much better with my online courses. when I was first diagnosed with ADD I was put on a medication that my mother said I wasn't the same person anymore and since then I was never medicated and struggled with the simplest things and also became depressed. If you have been diagnosed with ADHD/ADD I do suggest this for you and helps; with this med you aren't a zombie or foggy."


"I wish I would have read these results before I inserted the cream! The intense itching was immediate and it felt worse than the original yeast infection. It felt like a thousand fire ants marched up my vagina! I'm just happy to know I'm not alone in this reaction and will warn all my lady friends!"


"This is the first drug I was prescribed after hospitalization and initial diagnosis.  It made it possible to get off steroids and back to work.  Hair loss was extensive, until I increased water intake and saw a renal dietician.  Even though I am allergic to Sulfa drugs, this has been the least risky of the medications prescribed for my condition.  My hair has grown back in, and with lifestyle changes I am much better.  Long term, this is the only regimen that works for me."


"I started latuda about 2 weeks ago and am taking the 80 mg So far I have not noticed much change at all. I feel a bit more happy during the day but not much. However, debating on if I should stop taking it due to the horrific side effects I am having. It makes me feel over tired. You know that feeling you get when your to drunk? You wanna go to sleep but your to dizzy and feel like throwing up? It feels like that. Also I become very weak and can hardly pick up anything. I'm hoping these side effects will pass so I can start to understand if it is working for me or not."


"I took for 12 weeks, finished Around October, 2015! I started getting short tempered and severe short term memory loss, and depressed! I cleared and am glad I took it, but very upset about mental state. Was cleared around 8 weeks! So happy about clearing, but not happy about mental problems, could be a coincidence, but do not think so, never had mental problems before! I still think this medicine works great!"


"I broke out on this pill for 4 months straight. My acne was way worse that how it was before I started the birth control pill. I got the acne so horribly the first week of starting the birth control. And then, I would get at least two pimples a day; on my cheeks and jaw. The pimples were really big and they would hurt so badly. Once the pimples went down, it left my face with horrible acne scars that I've been trying to clear up for the past month. The pimples would only clear up around my placebo pill week. So when I was on my monthly cycle, my face was beautiful and clear. It's been a month with out the Tri-Sprintec and my skin has cleared up tremendously. I am back confident!!!"


"I found that this medicine managed the muscle spasms associated with the three herniated discs in the lumbar region of my back"


"I've been taking Ibrance for 6 months for mets to bones, lung and abdomen. I also take Femara daily and have a monthly Zometa infusion. First month my tumor markers went up, eeek, but since have steadily shown a downward trend. Recent PET scan compared to one prior to beginning Ibrance shows remarkable improvement and no new evidence of disease. Side effects are there but I'll take them in order to get a chance to live  longer."


"zolpidem means i'll get some sleep but not much.  first time i took remeron didnt sleep a wink though i felt the drowsiness. zombie in the morning. clonazepam made me feel normal. second time i took it with half a zolpidem with clonazepam 4 hours before, slept my first full 8 hours in 20 years.  next night no clonazepam, still slept but woke up every sleep cycle. last night by itself 1.5 hours sleep.  varies greatly. does not stop my mind from running full speed."


"I've been using Victoza for almost 6 weeks and I'm thrilled with the results!

My last A1C was abnormally high, at 9.1 I believe due to taking Plexus and Byetta just didn't seem to be as effective anymore.

I started Victoza at ..6 and am now taking 1.2 each morning... my readings range 90-110. I am still taking Metformin and the combination seems to be working very well.

I do experience light nausea periodically during the day whilst on Victoza which has been beneficial in helping me lose about 14 lbs... nausea combined with an increase in exercise.

I had to stop taking glyburide because it bottomed my blood sugar out BIGTIME... which is truly not fun!!

Its unfortunate that it's so expensive but definitely worth it!"


"This medication helps with my break through pain."

"I just started using these eyedrops. My allergies are not as bad this time of year, so I can't be sure if it is helping much. The side effect of the bad after taste is more than "mild" in my case."


"I have found this medication to be very successful for me. I started on the 20 mcg/hr patch because of post op nerve pain continually wakening me throughout the night (with all the results a lack of sleep has on you both physically and mentally). Through the use of the patches, I have been able to finally sleep the night through and reduce other medicines (Lortab/Flexiril/Klonipin) and stop one other completely. It is a low enough dose that doesn't make you all loopy while still strong enough to have a long term effect on my arch nemesis and yours, pain. Even if my insurance didn't pay for it, it is the one medicine I would still purchase out of pocket."


"I'm 17 years old and have been taking Keppra for three years now. Keppra has stopped my seizures except on 3 occasions where I missed a dose. Although it works very well I have been experienceing some side affects including moodiness, iritability, anger, rage, confusion and hallucinations. Although I have side effects, I like the overall results of being a well kid."


"Have tried about everything for rosecea. Metrogel mirvaso lasers chamomile and finally went to get a holistic spa treatment where I got facial. She said your rosecea is bad going to use mix of rose extract oil and Moroccan oil. My redness was gone the entire day. Bought these oils online and not greasy. Not only is my rosecea under control but I have a nice healthy glow and was actually carded. The girl said I look under 40 they card under 40.  I am 50 years old. My skin looks and feels younger and is so hydrated."


"I've tried 11 different blood pressure medications and finally found one that has helped. I have been taking Bystolic now for 3 months with out any major side effects.  I occasionally feel a little anxious, I'm normally a laid back person, so I'm not sure if this is because of Bystolic. I will continue to monitor and see what happens."


"I've been taking a 500 mg pill twice a day for 4 days now and the side effects are really awful. Today at work I got really dizzy and had to sit down because I I felt completely off balance and so so so sick. I've also noticed feeling sleepy- which I'm not a good sleeper lately as it is but despite taking a long nap today I woke up feeling not any more rested. I never take the pharmacist's warnings super seriously because I've had rather good luck in the past with common meds like this agreeing  with my body okay. But I should've really listened to her warning about eating when taking it and drinking extra water. I just feel sort of disoriented in general too- past just being sleepy. I'm surprised at all of this, thought it was a normal med"


"I am 22 and I been on since I was 21, I havent had a period since I have been on, which is fine but my sex drive is out the window. Haven't had sex with my boyfriend in 6 weeks and we live together. I'm just not in the mood AT ALL. Also I notice I have been dry and that has never been the case. Also a lot of weight gain and no matter how much I exercise it wont come off. I also feel like my feet keeps growing. Its perfect for effectiveness but its the price you pay so to each its own. Different bodies react different ways so my story may not be yours."


"Medicine worked great. Took 1 tablet a day to keep the knee swelling and stiffness away. Only side effects seem to be bloating and gas. Haven't take in two weeks (surgery done) and my symptoms are reducing. Looking at taking again since my surgery I have swelling but no pain. "


"Helps well with my anxiety as well!"


"Used the patch while on a trip overseas, where I would be on a boat, and also being driven around.  I get sea sick and car sick.  This worked well for the most part, but had blurry vision and light sensitivity. I did have the patch fall off a few times while showering, and replaced them right away.  I used this for a 14 day trip.  I stopped after the area became irritated, on day 10, and the area is still slightly swollen."


"I was a little nervous about switching to Loryna after seeing all the mixed reviews, but I am so glad I did. Within the first 2 months I already had the clearest skin I've had since childhood. Even after warning my boyfriend that I might be moody or not in the mood after switching, I saw none of these negative side effects. Medications never act the same way for every person, but this worked wonders for me."


"I have been using trinessa for 2 months now and my acne is almost completely nonexistent. I do get a couple zits around my period but other than that I'm cleared up. Only downside is that I start spotting a week before my period but I also haven't been taking for 3 months yet so I may stop spotting early. Other than that I don't have any noticeable symptoms and my periods are much more manageable, I used to have horrid cramps but not anymore!"


"I hate this birth control!!! I used to be on Ortho tricyclone lo and I loved, never had any side effects or problems. I was switched to tri prevfiem 3 months ago and it has been awful from day one. I have severe headaches from the beginning of my period to the end. I've gained 10lbs. I have had a yeast infection every month since I've been on it. (I've never had yeast infections before). My mood swings are ridiculous. I never want to have sex. The list goes on. Do not get this birth control!"


"I was put on 300 mg at bedtime for better sleep with spinal pinched nerve, along with chiropractor care. At first the sleep effect was awesome - no crazy dreams like trazadone, and no super quick tolerance built like ambien, just good and regular sleep. However, after a month and going up to 600mg for nerve pain it bizarrely started to cause insomnia! The worst part about this med is the brain-erasing characteristic. I thought ambien damaged my memory, but this far surpassed that because it lasted in the day to the point where I couldn't remember where things were or what day it was. My father takes it for spinal stenosis too and has no issues. Also, the posts about withdrawal syndrome are very real! It was hard to wean off."


"I went on this pill last year and it was amazing. my skin was always clear it i did gain some weight. I got off of the pill for a couple months and lost the weight but I started breaking out so I went back on the pill to regulate my period and stress.. this time I hate it!! I have terrible constipation and got terrible acne all over my body out of nowhere !!! I never had body acne until I started taking this pill again. waiting a couple more weeks to see if things get better but of not i'm definitely switching."


"Given in ER for sciatica was wheeled in then walked out. First time can sit in chair in 2 weeks. I worry about blood pressure high but Dr says from pain no pain but normal pulse 65 to 80 now 105 to 109 was given norco for pain but get very sick can use Tylenol instead"


"I have suffered from Rotator Cuff pain along with mid back spasms radiating into the lower back. I've used Lidocaine patches, pain management trigger point injections, and acupuncture. When my PA handed me 2 tubes of this gel, I didn't have much hope for it. Within minutes of applying as directed, not only was my pain gone, but so was the muscle stiffness! I urge you to try it!"


"I have been on Mtx for almost 2 yrs. I was diagnosed with JRA when I was 2 yo. I tried Plaquenil when I was about 19 and had an allergic reaction. I had a flare every 5 years or so in my adulthood and took an antibiotic that is prescribed as an off-label treatment for RA until my last flare 2 years ago when I finally gave in and decided to try the Mtx which I fought for years (I am 44). I take 17.5 mg once a week and 1 mg folic acid daily and have no side effects. It works well, but not perfectly and I do still have some pain. Right now I seem to be flaring and may have to try something more. I did try to lower my dose about 4 months ago but that was a disaster. I am glad I tried it and that it works for me."


"This medication works well.  You have to take it for a week straight and you can not drink with it for 9 days.  Overall good medication but long recovery time."


"Ortho Evra was my first birth control and I have been using it for 2 years now..it works really great except it sometimes falls on the edges but this is normal."


"My urologist suggested that I try 5 mg. Cialis daily for BPH (enlarged prostate). He gave me a two week supply to see if I would incur any side effects. He did make it very clear that treatment for BPH requires about a month's regular use of the 5 mg. daily dose. From the first day onward, I experienced significant heartburn, which was easily remedied by taking a dose of Zantac with the Cialis and a Zantac, 12 hours later. On the 5th day of Cialis, I experienced excruciating muscle pain starting with my lower back, into the buttocks, and legs. At the ER I was informed that between 5-7% of Cialis users will experience this and to stop using Cialis immediately."


"I've had it in for about 2 months and has been more or less very efficent. I got on it because of heavy bleeding and I'll say it works very efficient for that but....The mood swings are horrible like nothing I've ever experienced.I've gained around 5  pounds so far that I just can't keep off.So it works for what I got it but the side effects are pretty bad."


"Horrible side effects. I take 12 different medicines each day and when Savella was added the side effects that occurred were--speech impairment, motor skills were dulled, very dulled, just not myself. Couldn't recognize people, couldn't function normally."


"Most awesome medicine ever made. Non- addictive. Will be used more for MS, MD and Parkinson's is much needed."


"8 years ago I had my 3rd child, a healthy baby girl, and suffered from horrible postpartum depression.  My OBGYN put me on 10 mg Lexapro and after a few more terrible days and a trip to the ER I ended up in a psychiatrist office. He added mirtazapine to help me eat and sleep and in 2 weeks I was much better.  I was able to stop the mirtazapine and took the Lexapro for a full year. I am so grateful to those 2 Dr's who helped me crawl out off a very dark hole.  A month ago I fell back in and my anxiety kicked into high gear. I was barely functioning.  After 2 weeks my psychologist put me back on 10 Mg Escitalopram.  I am entering my 3rd week and feel much better.  This medicine has been wonderful.  Prayer   medicine   talk therapy."


"After suffering a year long depressive episode and many different medicines, I tried Lamictal.  It has been a God-send. I take 200mg once a day.  I also take Lithium 600mg twice a day, with Lexapro 20mg once a day and Klonopin 0.5mg, 4 times a day."


"I started on Junel when I was 17, and I've had 0 problems with it. I didn't gain weight, feel depressed, or anything. My skin was cleared and my period got pretty light. I switched birth control pills for a while a few years ago (Junel wasn't available where I was abroad) and it was terrible!! I was always sore, tired, gained weight, moody, etc (this was a first gen estrogen pill unlike Junel which is a low dose). I then switched back to Junel and all those problems went away thankfully.

Everyone is different, but for me at least, Junel has been perfect."


"This is such an effective and helpful med. I can't tell you how many times I'd been nauseous and almost immediately got rid of it with the disolvable version. It melts, I wait a few minutes and then it's gone normally."


"I took Flexeril because I had been feeling intense back muscle pain. I was told that it would make me sleepy and feel relaxed. I took it at 9:00pm thinking it was going to kick in quickly! I was wrong, 15 minutes later nothing! So I made dinner went online, then out of nowhere my neck felt heavy like I couldn't hold my head up and I stumbled to my bed. I saw the clock and it showed 11:00ish. I  slept like a baby! Woke up feeling great the next day well rested and my back felt better."


"This medication DID eventually help with the migraines BUT I started losing cognitive skills.  I lost my ability to process thoughts, complete sentences, was even being lost in the place I lived for 35 years.  I was very scared.  My mind was clouded all the time.  The Doctor thought I was possibly having a break down due to stress. At his same time I had been battling continual Urinary Tract Infections.  The Doctor immediately took me off of this drug and everything is coming back to normal!  I was told this is a VERY common side effect and eventually I would probably have had kidney stones also.  "


"I was prescribed Yaz but my doc told me to ask for the "generic brand" and so I did as directed. However I had only looked up reviews for Yaz but not for Vestura the generic brand. I settled and after getting home I did my research on Vestura. Now I realize birth controls will effect people differently and there are going to be great reviews and terrible ones but vestura only had terrible reviews. I took Vestura anyway and wow biggest mistake ever!!! DO NOT TAKE VESTURA! SPEND THE MONEY ON YAZ! Vestura made me have the worst mood swings, crying for hours about nothing, and then hyper the next minute. For the 3 weeks I have been on Yaz I have been 100% myself, even lost 6 pounds and skin clearing! Love it!!!"


"I could not make it through one day without Premarin since I had my uterus removed. I take along with 24 mg. Bio-identical testosterone from Woman's International Pharmacy. Had the surgery in 1973 and suffered for so long, they even told me I had Lyme. I was bitten by a tick and crazy as it seems,  these two hormones cured me. Go figure. I only use "name brand' Premarin like my mother and aunts used in the 50's when they used to combine Premarin and testosterone in one pill. I used to use that in the 70's 80's before bio-identical hormone cream. "


"Got it inserted (whitch pinched but didnt really hurt. Did get very light headed) the beginning of may. Its now august and still bleeding followed by smelly odor. Check out and they said things r fine. Ontop of the bleedig and oder ive had hair loss and brusing out of nowhere. Trying to hang in until the full 3 months. Im hoping this will go away as i have tried other methods that i cant keep up with (pills, condoms ect)"


"I had the Implanon inserted in Dec 2009.  I loved it until recently, and I still recommend it over the IUD.  But now my side effects are to great for my body and mind to handle.  Since I got it I have had maybe 5 periods but this year I have had 2 and they were regular and right on time.  I suffer from horrible PMS symptoms and I got them all the last two months. Since November of last year I have become horribly depressed and my anxiety is through the roof. I believe that all my "issues" are side effects of this birth control, and I think that the reduction in hormones released is probably the cause.  I am getting it removed ASAP, but still think that this could work for some or for a shorter 2 year window verses the 3 year they say."


"Extremely effective until I developed a tolerance. The unpleasant aftertaste is due to an increase in the pH of the saliva/mouth environment. I found that taking Lunesta with an acidic drink such as orange juice prevented the aftertaste. Chocolate, the darker the better, will reduce the taste if it occurs."


"I was diagnosed with a UTI and kidney infections.  They started me on Macrobid two days ago and yes,  death on a doornail set in.  When your body utilizes this drug to flush your system,  it doesn't just run to your bladder and ta da!  Your body handles this infection with all it's defenses so you SHOULD expect to feel really icky for about a week.

I am floored at today's rush in society to get everything done right now or right away.  Every body needs time to heal and recover.  Allow yourself the precious gift of rest and recuperating it needs and unless you begin to spike fever or experience allergic reaction,  hang in there and know it's okay to take some time off to nurture you."


"After my doctor prescribed Edluar 10MG due to my complaint of only getting 4-5 hours sleep because of the pain I have been experiencing.
I now get a full 7-8 hours sleep.  I awaken feeling refresh.  I do not feel tired.  I feel a lot better than before.  I was having a very difficult time sleeping past 5 hours since November 2009.
"


"Just finished a 24-week Sovaldi/Daklinza combo, HCV-RNA not relivable after 4 weeks already. Zero side effects. Gen. 3a. I've been on Interferon/Ribavirin before and damn...I haven't even noticed this new cycle by comparison. Interferon/ribavirin was HELL. Oh and by the way it was useless too. Thank God for these new (too much expensive) drugs."


"WARNING! I received two injections, and it was the worst 6 months of my life. This should come with EXPLICIT warnings, but didn't.  I came down with severe anxiety and depression.  My life fell apart and I had to leave town to regroup.  My interpersonal relationships unravelled. I was so depressed I couldn't move.  I saw a pyschiatrist and he suggested that the depression could very well have been due to the depo shot - he's seen it affect others like this as well.  Also, I rapidly gained 15-20 lbs.  It's been 8 months since my last injection and I am ECSTATIC to report my period finally came back. It can take that long to leave the system! This is a dangerous drug. Monitor your mental health closely. In fact don't do it"


"I got this mid January of 2016 to control my horrible PMS that would last for weeks (I'd only have a 3 day menstrual cycle). I can't take BC pills or estrogen so this was my best option. The first month of having the implant I noticed vast improvement of my PMS symptoms. I did bleed for a month the first month. A little annoying but it's the adjustment. After that I didn't have much issue; I do get occasional brown spotting spells with heavy cramps, and random sore breasts for a few days. Other than that I love it! I feel so much better."


"Well i was 15 when i started getting acne n it kept on getting worse! After 4 Years to that my dermatologist suggested me Doxybact 100 that i cud take hardly for a week bc i got a severe form of allergic reaction so i had to stop takin it. But now after 4 years to even that i started takin it again n it did wonders! It just cleared my skin well!! I m v happy with the results bc no cream gel facewash had ever helped me this way! The only reason i hav rated this 7 is that it works only if i am takin it continuously! If i stop takin it my acne come back even within 20 days! Thats the worst part but otherwise its amazin!!"


"been on levothyroxine for about 5 months. initially 50mcg. After about a week or two, I immediately felt better. "brain fog" was decreased, I felt Alot less tired, a lot less cd. also, I lost a significant amount of weight (I put on a lot due to an undiagnosed autoimmune thyroiditis). I'd say the worst side effect of this is the massive hair loss initially. and my hair was tangled so easily. I am now on a maintanence dose of 100mcg. have bought myself a decent hairbrush and I feel a lot better."


"IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please do not stress yourself out about it...yes I know it's easier said than done but trust me if you take it like your supposed to, your cycle will come!! Mines was 4days late..I took multiple pregnancy test in which all of them was negative!! Good luck everybody!"


"Probably the worst medication I've ever been on. Made me feel completely disconnected from reality and dissociate all the time, made me nauseous, did not help with my suicidal thoughts or impulses at all (in fact I was MORE suicidal on it). I didn't care about anything, couldn't get any work done, could not concentrate, slept all the time, and gained weight on it. Did not help my depressive symptoms at all."


"It didn't work."


"I am a female, 29 years old and have never battled depression until my dad passed away. My crying and irritablity just getting worse as months went on. I have been on Lexapro for only 2 days but I have noticed a difference in my mood. The very first day I felt a "high", "weird" sense. It made me sleepy but then restless in the middle of the night BUT I have been already feeling better mood-wise. I am going to try and tough it out because I have more good than bad. We'll see!"


"I have been on this pill for a year now. I went a while without a period just constant spotting. Well, I can't tell if it's an extremely light period or just spotting. It's not enough blood for a tampon or pad but a liner. I hate it bc if I do want to have sex, I have to act like I have to pee right before just to make sure I'm not bleeding. I'm on my last pack & then I'm done with it. I also was on this pill due to high bp & horrible periods. I'll take my risks at not taking this anymore!"


"Im 20 year old female, So far I'm only on day 3. I had diarrhea, nausea, headache, heart burn, and numb hands at night. Also bruised easier. Tastes horrible! I don't feel any relief I have 6 more days to go. :("


"It made me crazy. I couldn't eat or sleep or sit still."


"I have used them on each of my previous four cruises. I am going to use one Sunday for my wedding cruise because they work so well.  I had suffered with motion sickness since my childhood and these things really work!!"


"I started this drug on July 13, 2017 and have felt nothing but sick, dizzy and not hungry at all.
In 2 days I have already lost 4 lbs."


"I have had 15 Arm and 3 hip surgeries, cortizone shots in both knees and degenerative disc disease in my back at only 39yrs old. I am on Percocet 10/325 and oxycodone 80mg. Finally after 5 yrs found a doctor willing to help me. "


"Insomnia every night.  Glad I am on it for short duration."


"I am 37 and have had Crohn's since I was 18. Three surgeries of the terminal Ilieum. From 18 to 27 I was very very ill. The Remicade has basically helped me to have a normal life again. I feel great these days, but one gets to the point where you feel good and want to be medicine free. You hear horror stories of people getting off Remicade and getting galloping Crohn's disease coming back and then the Remicade doesn't work so well."


"Xanax has probably helped keep me alive and breathing over the last two years.  The toll of being a military wife, mom, full-time worker, etc. had me so stressed out that I began to procrastinate on EVERYTHING because I couldn't emotionally handle things like paying bills, running errands, etc.  I only take 0.5mg of Xanax as needed, but just knowing it's in my purse helps me keep my busy life moving ahead.  Combined with Zoloft for depression and Ambien for insomnia, I finally feel like a normal person.  I feel sorry for the woman I used to be, but I'm so happy to be myself now."


"I took the probiotic (2 hrs before/after) this antibiotic and still slept in my clothes the first night because I was convinced I may be having a heart attack and may have to go to the ER.  Now, I'm taking Pepsid, as well, but today had to stop on my way to work because the hearburn is so severe. On day 3, I forgot the probiotic and had severe diarrhea - so don't do that.  The dental surgery was mild by comparison - I stopped the prescription painkillers after the first day - but the antibiotic is killing me."


"The main reason I started using this medicine was because of my acne. I am on my 3rd month of this medicine and nothing. I was so hopeful that this would clear my skin up or that I would see some type of improvement by now. There is a little difference...my acne is worse at times than it was before!!! So far I am very unsatisfied with this medicine. Birth Control is my last option for treating my acne. I went to the dermatologist for years and NOTHING. This was my last hope, and I seemingly no longer have any hope for clearing my skin. The only side effect I have gotten while being on this Birth Control is that my boobs grew like 2 sizes which I personally hate. I liked having small boobs. Im giving it 3 more months then Im switching,"


"Made me totally lose it and ended up in hospital for 3 weeks."


"My 14 year old daughter had been taking Vyvanse since 2010 - her current dosage is 50mg.  In the first couple years I believe this medication was a good fit for my daughter; however, It is my opinion she needs a change.  Also thanks to Obmacare effective 1/1/16 we are paying a copayment of $197 (from $40). Unbelievable for Vyvanse to NOT RELEASE A GENERIC until 2023!"


"Between the anxiety and fear of a full-blown panic attack, (they occur about 3xs per year) I was unable to work, maintain relationships or accept new challenges. Have been taking 15mg 2xs a day since October 2011. It works with no side effects. I have my sense of humor back."


"I had used this product before and never had a problem. It seemed to help clear up the infection quite quickly. But I recently got another yeast infection and decided to use the product again. I would not reccomend it at all. I got intense burning in my lower region. It got so uncomfortable within about 5 minutes that I had to take a shower and wipe all the medicine out. Afterwards I was still in pain. Do not get monistat. At all. Yeast infections already itch and monistat made it 100 times worse, plus insane burning. Hopefully I won't have any rashes or swelling like the others. Definently go see a doctor and get a prescription."


"I have been on Zanflex for about 2 months and it has helped tremendously for migraines, which is caused from bulging discs in my neck. I am taking 4mg 3 times a day and suffering with only one side effect which is dry mouth. I really recommend this to other's with my condition."


"As an antacid,  I allow one caplet 311mg. caplet to slowly dissolve in my mouth before bedtime.  Although the use instructions say to chew up to 4 caplets for use as an antacid, by allowing a single caplet to slowly dissolve, less MoM is needed and it seems to work better.  Its also better for me than liquid because the dose is more accurately controlled and when the caplet is allowed to slowly dissolve."


"This stuff did nothing for my psoriasis.  My doctor just kept giving it to me for over 4 months and it just got worse and worse.  Beware if your doctor gives you the ointment it will permanently stain your sheets and clothes ask for the cream if you use this, my doctor says it doesn't stick as well but it won't ruin your things."


"I have been suffering from Severe Depression, Anxiety and Panic attacks for 4 years. I have been on every anti-depressent and anti-anxiety med known along with mood stabilizers. All of these at the same time and always tweaking doses. I had no life I just wanted to be alone from my wife and kids and people in general. This hurt that I was not able to be the dad and husband I used to be. I have been on Lexapro for 4 weeks now and for the first time I have no anxiety or depression. It works for me"


"This product didn't work.  Felt a little bump in the morning, applied Abreva throughout the day.  My blister is full blown.  This product is garbage."


"Felt like a zombie during the day.... if I wasn't a zombie I was having a panic attack almost on a daily basis. Cried for no reason, wanted to pick fights. The periods were light and didn't last long, the only benefit to this medicine. BUT... my uterus felt like it was going to fall out of my ass when I had my period... and went through severe PMS 3 days until I got my period."


"I love the pill my period is on the exact date of the sugar pills, but my breasts are always SO sore! That's the only side effect I've had along with some blood clots here and there but I highly recommend"


"Had BV for the first time didn't know what to expect but this medicine made me confident again and stop suffering from embarrassing odors!"


"I have pot traumatic stress disorder. My symptoms are anxiety and depression. My doctor was leery about prescribing Wellbutrin because of my high anxiety. This medication took away my anxiety! I am very fatigued and this gives me energy! All medications (even Effexor) seem to sedate me, too. I used to self medicate with energy drinks. Now I only have one coffee in the morning. I'm like a completely different person! I don't know what I would do without this. I'm angry that I wasn't prescribed this medication in the first place. I have ADHD too and this pales in comparison to Adderall. I still give it a 10 because I was prescribed it for depression. "


"Diagnosed with Bipolar twenty two years ago. Treated initially with lithium and Carbamazepine. I stopped taking everything and existed for years. Extremely bad depression last fall which left me a total shell without memory, emotion, feeling.  I am now starting on lamictal as it is time for me to live again rather than exist. Thank you all for your feedback. I am actually looking forward to starting this drug and will keep you updated x"


"Before taking this drug I obviously done my research, read many reviews some of them really scary but I after speaking with my doctor I have decided to take in despite all the bad side effects. It was the best decision I had made I can't see anything else curing my acne. I have started treatment 02.16. It is November now and my skin is acne free. I loved my skin & hair whilst on the drug. Normally my skin is very oily shiny within 30 min after putting make up, my hair are greasy next day after washing. I didn't have those problems at all while taking this drug which was amazing change for a while. Drug has cleared my acne completely and got my skin in perfect condition before my wedding day. Worst side effect was really dry lips."


"It is the only thing that works for my sinus headaches. Some last for a week at a time and this medicine makes me forget about the pain until the dosage has wore off approx 8-12 hours later"


"I have been diagnosed with GAD, doctor prescribed me escitalopram 10 mg. I'm on week 3 and still with some side effects such as head pressure, insomnia and thinking a lot. Can someone let me know how long it will take to feel ok?"


"Today I am on week 3, day 21 and I have not touched a cig, suffering with constipation and a little nausea. I feel refreshed, I can breathe better, I have an appetite which is good for because I am skinny and hoping that I will gain some weight. Thank You Champix I never thought I could give up smoking ever."


"I take Saphris 25 mg every day. I have BIPOLAR/SCHIZOAFFECTIVE/OCD/PTSD. I has been 2 1/2 weeks and it is helping a ton! Negatives: kinda annoying to take but you'll get use to it.  It is a tablet that you put under your tongue and wait for 10 min. to eat or drink. It just came out with a  black-cherry taste which tastes like a little piece of candy. Other negative are  headache, some insomnia but then sometimes it will help a lot with sleep. I think the insomnia is due to  my caffeine intake. So if you really want this medicine to work, don't use pop/coffee, big pupils. Positives: calmer, deeper and longer sleep, increased motivation, weight loss, decreased irritability, more stable mood, more creative, can pay attention more, more creativity, and more clear mind.."


"I am 37 yrs old, suffered 8 mths with unbearable pain. Took Lyrica and Plaquenil for 6 of the eight months with little or no relief. Started Pristiq and Xanax less than a week ago and I can feel all the twitching and excruciating pains gradually going away. I feel like I'm gradually awaking from a terrible nightmare."


"I have had years of sleep disturbance's due to PTSD, from having to live in high anxiety and violent situations. So my Dr. prescribed Prazosin, and right away I was sleeping at least 8 hours a night without waking or nightmares. I am not having any side affects that I am aware of and am very glad to be taking it."


"I just want to share with anyone thinking about using this med. I have been on LOTS of oxycodone ever since my daughter was born 5 years ago. I was always trying to figure out how to get my next batch because I would run out of my script early every month. I loved the way they made me feel at first!! I loved the energy and the happiness I got from them but it only lasted a short time before it was gone and I needed more and more. Then I was always scared of being without because I knew the withdrawals would be hell! So basically, my life was constantly thinking about those oxycodone! I finally got fed up and found a suboxone doc. Been on a week and feel amazing!!DO IT if u have an addiction problem! U won't regret it! It has saved my life!"


"Was on Concerta 18mg for 3 years worked great. Stopped taking it, felt like I didn't need it anymore and I didn't want to pay for it then. Wasn't doing so well professionally or at home not getting chores done feeling real lazy etc. so I went back on the Concerta couldn't feel it this time bumped up to 36mg still most days didn't feel a difference tried Vyvanse definitely can feel motivation only doesn't seem to last as long as Concerta used to for me but I feel happy on Vyvanse, just wished it lasted longer also as a lot of people say less anxiety. I can say I don't have an anxiety problem on Concerta or on Vyvanse but Vyvanse feels like it has anti-anxiety medicine built into. I feel real comfortable where ever I go."


"Works as well as pantoprazole for me.  Relatively expensive."


"This is the first day I've had ZERO pain in 6 years. I tried Enbrel - good but not strong enough after 2 years. Humira - allergic. I just finished my second infusion from Rituxan. And I am cautiously happy. Absolutely no pain anywhere."


"I specifically asked for this prescription from my dermatologist due to all of the high ratings. I am very glad I did. I have been on Clindamycin solution for about three years and it has stopped being effective and that is why I switched to Benzaclin. It was helped my breakouts a lot and my skin is mostly clear with an occasional break out or two that go away in a couple of days. However, it is extremely drying the first 2-3 weeks. My skin was so dry I could literally feel my skin rubbing off in the shower. Also, avoid your eyes and your eyebrows. The skin around your eyes is way too sensitive for this product. Also, it lightly bleached some of my eyebrows. Nothing too bad, but I notice it. Overall, I would give it a chance."


"Benicar is very effective, but has side effects.  It is causing me irritable bowel syndrome and diarrhea. My doctor first put me on Lisinopril, which caused my lungs to feel like they were full of fluid, after having difficulty breathing I stopped that medication.  Then the Dr put me on samples of Benicar and it dropped my blood pressure readings to normal and I didn't notice side effects but the insurance wouldn't approve it.  So they approved losartan, which seems to have no side effects but barely reduced my blood pressure, it worked but not very well.  So they got the insurance to approve Benicar, but after taking it for almost 2 months it has caused me to have irritable bowel syndrome, if I stop taking it, I improve, start taking it it gets worse."


"I am a 54 yr old male with history of anxiety, depression and other mood disorders from about age 38. T-Levels were always on the low side of normal, but had recently dropped significantly. Symptoms became worse. Started an exercise program and could not lose any weight and recovery was slow. Started taking Fortesta June 5, 2011. I had no site reactions or any other adverse reactions. I did notice an immediate increase in resistance training performance, cardio performance and recovery. Weight loss accelerated even though appetite increased. Mood has changed positively, although not as significantly as physical changes have. Medicine is very expensive which is definitely a downside especially if this turns out to be a life long regimen."


"This started out as a great experience. I was on Lexapro but due to the decreased sexual desire wanted to try something else.

The first three months felt great, no improvement on the sexual aspect however.  Then the side effects started and it was terrible. Started with constipation, which I was able to put up with. The legs hurting and cramping was another story. As long as I was active I had no problem. Go on a trip and it was hell. My legs would hurt like crazy. Then at night in bed if I turned over I got leg cramps in my thighs.

OH and the DREAMS! So real, vivid and weird.

Expensive!"


"I have been on Seasonique for about 5 months now. I haven't had much of a period but I'm like under 100 pounds so the doctor said it was normal. The last week I have been breaking out pretty bad and I have had major stomach pains for like 3 days straight. I thought I was pregnant because of the cramps but looking at the reviews I'm not the only one. I think my sex drive went down its been six weeks and haven't had the urge but I like the pill other than that."


"I was diagnosed with HLA-B27  (a specific protein on your white blood cells that can be a sign of autoimmune disease) Dr told me I had Psoriatic Arthritis gave me a starter pack of Otezla took for 12 days , which all of stiffness and joint pain left, I am also on Phentermine and Topimirate for weight loss, so I didn’t experience any headache, however I did get somewhat depressed and no energy to do anything, I ran out of the starter pack had to get another but was off of it for 3 days, while off of it I noticed my mood was better and back to normal, but this morning oh my all my stiffness and pain are back so I am goin back on the new starter pack and try to deal with mood thing because this pain is crazy, I also do have a sinus head cold that I have had for 4 days but I kinda chalked that off to the time of year and weather!"


"I had to take Isoniazid 300 mg per day for positive skin test upon starting treatment with Humira for Psoriatic Arthritis. I had no side effects accept I seemed a little more edgy; I too was a little concerned at first about it being rough on your liver but they monitored it every two months, the results always came back fine (of course I did give up alcohol for the 9 month treatment) so my experience was not bad and I would say not to be overly concerned about liver failure because I put my liver through some real punishment in my younger party years and everything worked out. I am glad it's over, a 9 month treatment was long but you get used to it after a while."


"So my dermatologist prescribed me doxycycline about 3yrs ago for 12 months and after seeing results he increased the time period to 18months. While I was on this my acne and zits showed a significant reduction, though they weren't totally gone.  But after medication they started coming back and its been a nightmare since then."


"If you can make it past the first couple months of this drug, it's actually really good. I started taking it about five months ago, and the first 2-3 months were really difficult. I had horrible mood swings and would cry at almost nothing fairly often. I also got migraines during the placebo week and had a lot of vaginal dryness. Now that my body has adjusted, I feel normal again, no migraines, no mood swings, and no more dryness. My complexion has also improved. I've had unprotected sex all during these months and no pregnancy. I haven't missed any pills; I only took one about 3 hours late one time. I have already recommended this pill to friends, with the disclaimer to be prepared for the first few months of difficulty."


"I love Cialis. I was just turning 40 when I started taking it. My wife is 12 years younger than me and at times it was kick to the ego when I couldn't keep up or go as many times as I did when I was younger. I never had a problem getting an erection, but as I got older, I have learned to last a lot longer. Problem was, is that I'm not in the best shape and the longer I went, the more tired I got which led to a slight loss in my erection. But now, there's no need to worry about losing anything and I can keep going and going and eventually I started to get less tired. Cialis helps a lot. Especially when she wants to go again and again and I don't have to say.."you're going to have to wait a bit". Now I can go a lot and my sex drive is insane!"


"I took this pill before. And I had no problems with it. But I started taking it again, because my boyfriend and I had a pregnancy scare over the summer. My boyfriend and I aren't in a position to raise and care for a child. So I went back on it 4 days ago. I stopped taking it two nights ago, because had loss of appetite, I was getting mad at everything, I'm constantly nauseated and throwing up all hours of the night. I could eat something and be fine. But when it came to drink anything, it would come right back up. I'm calling my doctor first thing Monday morning and I'm not taking it ever again."


"My dr. prescribed Contrave for weight loss.  I started taking it yesterday with only 1 tablet around lunchtime.  About an hour later I was bowing down to the toilet and extremely dizzy.  It's been 24 hours now and I'm still feeling nauseous and I feel "out of it". I'm glad I only took 1 pill!"


"I had a small tattoo above my ankle that I had ab 5 laser treatments to remove, the process bursts the inks color molecules, those will, during your lifetime disperse throughout ones cells trying to be absorbed, among other things. The process left me with an "id" reaction and I've developed skin allergies to certain topical ointments such as "Neosporin" or Bactracin. I use Silvadene now in place of any antibacterial ointments, for all cuts, abrasions, wounds and it works perfectly."


"I was prescribed Lotemax for eye pain, burning, crying, itching and swelling of my eyes due to allergies. I felt IMMEDIATE RELIEF! The sclura (white of eye) felt comfortable instantly, I havent had any burning, itching or tearing in 5 days.....only draw back is its a steroid and can only used for 7 days..... :0("


"I started bc for one main reason, ovarian cysts. It workes great.  I was on it for five months and had no pain from cysts the entire time. It also worked great to prevent pregnancy. There were no issues except one.  I gained at least 20lbs in 5 months from it. I usually fluctuate from 112 to 115lbs. No more than that.  Well once i started bc I had the appetite of a teenage boy. I was eating non stop!  I'm sure the weight can be controlled if you are dedicated to a strict diet though.  So I got off the bc two weeks ago and I have already lost 8lbs. The reason I chose to get off is because of the weight gain.  Now  I have to trade it all in for the cysts again."


"I started this pill 10/5/15 and weighed 215.26, 5'5 height. As of today 2/26/2016 I am 195.4. I definitely notice the appetite curbing. I have a huge sweet tooth and while I still eat them it's no where near how I use to be. Up until a week ago I didn't exercise but recently got an elliptical in hopes of dropping more weight. I pay $60 a month for it and since I am seeing results I plan on continuing. My doctor said I should continue to lose for close to a year."


"I used it for years as an intervention medicine to break cyclical migraines. I only needed it a couple of times a month, but when I needed it, nothing else worked. I'm currently nonfunctional without it, as I am either allergic or non responsive to other medications."


"Works great, but causes impotence."


"I think this birth control is extremely effective. I have few mood swings before my periods come. But other then that my face is clear, my weight is fine, mild cramping. And even better it works."


"Just started, no evaluation yet as only been on it a few days"


"I am on day 7, it does seem to be helping with the pneumonia but I am having a really hard time falling asleep even though I am exhausted and the last 2 days I ache all over especially behind my knees, my shoulders and my wrists and fingers. I do not recommend this medicine."


"To start: I have menstrual migraines because I create too much estrogen. I cannot use birthcontrol that contains estrogen. I chose to get Nexplanon 7 weeks after having my first baby. Before I had the baby, I had an IUD which I LOVED, but the process of getting it implanted was extremely painful because I have a tilted uterus. So I decided to try Nexplanon. I've had this in for about a year during which I've basically NEVER stopped bleeding. Very light mostly - can wear a liner. But it NEVER stops. Extremely low sex drive. Moody. Told by doc this would all stop after "some time". Planning to get it removed soon. I will never use this form of BC again - I don't care that it's the most effective on the market; side effects are miserable."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"Took this for 4 months after having a baby. Having cravings for sugar and carbs. Severe breast tenderness and SEVERE mood swings and depression. I have severe hot flashes and feel like a menopausal woman. They did all kinds of testing on me and said it must be this pill causing it. I'm going off it next week! It has completely changed my personality and made me into an angry hormonal woman with mood swings daily."


"I am extremely obese. My starting weight when I started taking Topamax was 289.0 lbs. I weighed myself every few days. I started for one week taking 25 mg in the morning and 25 mg in the evening. Now I take 50mg in the morning and 50 in the evening.  Im also eating right veggies and fruits and snacks.  This medication is making me lose at least 13 lbs since Jan. 5, 15 and today I'm 276.0 and its Jan. 19, 2015.  in that short amount of time that's a good amount of weight to drop.  So thank you Topamax!"


"It got prescribed this when I started getting horrible headaches almost daily. I was told to take it two times daily, once in the morning and once at night. It gave me more headaches, at least an aura without pain. I had increased blind spots in my vision. As well as it made me extremely tired. Stopped taking it."


"I have had many of the same experiences with the chemical thyroid meds, I asked to be switched over to armour and felt great, then after a few years, I noticed something was terribly wrong had heart palpating and just super tired all the time.

   Went to the pharmacy and he told me that they changed the formula and that it had more fillers, he said that he could compound it for me and that would take care of the problem, so I asked my doctor and got a perscription for it to be compounded.  All I can say is what a difference!!! Back to my old self."


"I have been on this medicine at varying doses. I'm taking 30 mg now. I've suffered bouts of depression and anxiety for many years. When I started this medicine I did the starter pack and thought it was great until day 4 of the 40mg. Had hallucinations while driving and luckily I was close to home. Passed out at home and had vivid dreams in a semiconscious state for about 7 hours, Called doctor and he said drop back down to 20. I have made a couple of attempts to move the dose up as it doesn't seem to be enough at 20. I've been hospitalized once with serotonin syndrome on day 21 of the 40mg. Brain zaps are the worst! Heat on top of my head is bad. Miss a dose even by a couple hours and anger and crying BAD. I am not happy with it now and plan to get off it."


"I've been dealing with Hyperhidrosis since the beginning of high school and it really became an issue when I began college. It was always awful feeling embarrassed/insecure 24/7 (especially because it was so out of my control). People started to not want to guard me in basketball anymore, my ex-girlfriend would make me feel like bad saying she wanted a boyfriend who could actually put his arm around her, etc., etc. But finally I stopped wallowing in my own sorrow and talked to a doctor- he prescribed Hypercare and it CHANGED my life. Don't let your Hyperhidrosis beat you because with Hypercare you can beat it.

PS- The complaints about the itching/burning sensations are completely valid, but I'm willing to cope when the payoff for a normal life again."


"Been on for 1 month down 10 lbs."


"I've been taking this for about two weeks to combat cellulitis and after first trying Keflex and Bactrim which did not work, the Augmentin is working quite well.
I haven't had any stomach upset or GI discomfort.
 I haven't had any Diarrhea that couldn't be easily stopped with a normal dose of over-the-counter Loperamide. Had a slight bit but the Loperamide fixed that right up.

"


"I was on NuvaRing for about 6 months. I stopped because I started gaining so much weight and it felt uncomfortable sometimes. I went from 150lbs to 167lbs in a matter of months. Other then that the Nuvaring worked well for me! Did not get pregnant, kept my periods lighter and sometimes shorter. I did notice hair loss and I did start getting leg cramps during my time on this medication. Good for teens!"


"I have been taking Lyrica for about 2 years. I couldn't face life without it. I take 200mg x2 a day. I have managed to cut my pain meds down. I am still tired but that will come with conditioning my body again. I have intensive physio therapy twice a year and have founf improvements after each session. I have gained about 30lbs but part of that is due to inactivity.

Only downside is that if I miss a dose I feel dreadful."


"This birth control made me gain weight, and has given me some major mood swings. With in an hour I go through 3 different types of emotions."


"I've been on 50 mg 1-2 tabs every 6 hours.  Started approximately two months ago.  The first 4-5 weeks were great.  No more pain but now suddenly, major side effects have kicked in.  Migraine type headaches, rapid heartbeats, occasional anxiety attacks and definitely insominia (even with taking an Ambien). I'm beginning to wonder if the side effects will ever go away. Doctor says hang in there, everyone reacts differently, however my side effects seem to be getting worse instead of better.  Haven't been able to get out of bed for the last 4 days.  I don't understand why this is happening.  "


"Works well for me."


"My experience has been horrible. I completed all three doses and each time was overwhelmed by intense itching and burning. By the third dose I was up half the night miserable. It didn't even help with the infection. I will never be buying this again."


"Been on Paxil for about a month and I feel great...I'm on 20 MG but may need to go higher I'm not  at 100%"


"hello ladies! well I started taking this pill about 3 1/2 MONTHS ago after taking Lo Loestrin for over a year, which btw I loved. I switched because apparently my doctor wanted me to get my period back and he thought that by increasing the estrogen dosage my period would ergo come back. Well, it didnt!  So far  I do NOT like this birth control. My mood has changed and so has my libido, which is crazy because I'm like the female version of Christian Grey (Fifty Shades of Grey reference) I gained 6 FREAKING pounds, I already can't see things that are far away and this pills has made it worse. I CANNOT wait to go back to Lo Loestrin. Hope my experience helps some of your ladies and please let me know if any of you also lost your period lol"


"So I got Monistat but I got the three day treatment the cream insert form , I use the product all the time cause I sadly get a lot of yeast infections and haven't figured the problem out . But I have always loved their products they have been great until I used it before I went to bed . I woke up so early cause my lady parts felt like they have been sand papered.... the amount of itching and burning and swelling way way worse then it was before ,  I don't think I will be buy this stuff again , and neither should anybody else."


"Doctors just give it out like cough medicine.  I have a from of muscular distrophy , lupron almost killed me and the doctors did not know what to do.  11 years later I am still having side effects from the synthetic hormone.  doctors should realize that one size does not fit all."


"Levora made me have my period constantly. it was useless for me as far as birth control goes because I didn't want to have sex on my period. I thought I had a cervix infection so I went in and they told me to stop taking my bc pills for a bit and after two days of not taking them anymore, my period stopped. I was also constantly breaking out with cyst acne which had never happened before levora."


"Okay,  I'm 25, never been on bc before, typically a 5 day period, never experienced period cramps, pretty high pain threshold. I've had the paragard in for ~ 6 hours & I'm fairly comfortable. I feel very very mild pressure in my lower back but nothing worrisome. Insertion was so painful, I definitely didn't expect that, didn't premedicate & just had to deal with it, but it was so painful! I held my breath the entire time, luckily after 1 min or 2, It was over. I'll say this much, I'm pretty nervous. I actually thought I was getting Mirena & I read up about that & felt pretty comfortable but then I got there & my gynecologist said the insurance only covers paragard & I just went with the flow. But after read the reviews, I'm terrified!"


"I have been taking singulair on and off for years.  In the last two years I have had 4 severe asthma attacks and the singulair has not helped.  It may have helped my allergic rhinitis.  But it does not help my asthma.  I will probably stop it."


"I love this stuff. Works like a charm for someone with hypertension. There are no side effects for me. Also had no migraines while on this one which many others have caused. Great energy and overall condition while taking it."


"Veltin is great for my mild/moderate acne. I have had acne for many years trying numerous products to help. I was on Accutane and that cleared me up but about a year ago it started to come back. Eventually I went to the dermatologist and they gave me Veltin. I had amazing improvements within a day. Now a few weeks using it my skin is very smooth and now has the chance to heal from previous breakouts. It does not irritate my skin and I only had minor peeling. Others results might vary."


"I found my experience on Pristiq to be similar to when I was on Effexor XR.  They are very similar medicines.  I switched to Pristiq after I wasn't getting the relief from depression and anxiety anymore on Lexapro and Xanax.  Unfortunately, I've had to discontinue the Pristiq after about 6 months.  It does help with depression but it was making me easily agitated/irritable and I've had considerable weight gain.  I would take it in the morning and often have thoughts of suicide by the time i went to bed.  I have switched back to Lexapro but just added Wellbutrin XL and switched my anxiolytic to longer acting Klonopin.  I've read this is a great combo and hope it works! Good luck everyone."


"None. I was prescribed this by my specialist as an alternative to lamotrigine for some unknown reason. I took a look at the side effects and decided it was incompatible with being able to work. After all, if I can't work, I can't afford treatment. "


"I've used monistat before with no problems, but this time it's like hell. The burning woke me up out of my sleep and the cream didn't help relieve any itch once I inserted the ball. It was about two hours later when the ball dissolved and I began to lose my mind!! I still don't know what to do to stop the burning!!!"


"Been on NuvaRing for 6 months and it has been great. Take out during sex and put it back in when finish. Little cramping but overall a great birth control method for me."


"How I wish this pill medicine had existed before, as I had to inject myself for many years! It is very easy to take and I did not get any side effects, although I did need to have a second ECG 6 hours after the first dose, as my blood pressure had decreased. The hospital room temperature was very low that day, but walking increased my blood pressure and the doctor released me so I could go home! Control stay in hospital was covered by Novartis.

I stopped Rebif injections in 2010, with who knows which effects!"


"I'm convinced the Lozenge has saved my life.  For me, the patch was awful.  I chewed the gum so hard my jaw was very painful.  The lozenge was perfect, especially since I was a chewer of tobacco, not a smoker.  After my first child was born, I knew I needed to quit and finally got committed (no pun intended).  I have been tobacco free for about 5 years, but like others, I still use lozenge's daily.  I will make an attempt to get off them as I've had some stomach or intestinal pains lately. Still a way better choice than all the cancer causing things in the tobacco."


"I have smoked cigarettes off and on for over 40 years.  I started taking Chantix on September 28, 2008.  Haven't had a cigarette since October 1.  I was hesitant about quitting as last time I gained 20 pounds.  This time I have had no weight gain, however I have been walking a couple of miles each day and using an exercise bike for about an hour each day.  I have experienced vivid dreams but nothing disturbing.  Have had no trouble falling asleep but I do get up during the night to urinate which is something new.  I even went to a casino and sat next to smokers with absolutely no urge to smoke.  I think Chantix is a life saver for me."


"Works wonders for my acne, but it takes a while for positive results to occur. I use it twice a day for two weeks straight whenever I get a recurrence of breakouts. Works so much faster and better when used in conjunction with Benzoyl Peroxide. For convenience, I recommend BenzaClin, a double-action gel that contains both Benzoyl Peroxide and Clindamycin as active ingredients."


"I an on 30 mg of Cymbalta for depression and anxiety. I also take  generic buspar 30 mg a day. I have found the addition of the generic Abilify,2.5 mg, assists with my tendency to forget and that I am not as interested in food, both results are welcome.  In addition to the meds I participate in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy."


"First off, I highly recommend taking only half a pill your first time trying this, unless you are used to sedation from other pills. A whole pill is 25mg, but that left me groggy the next day to the point that I was worthless. After a few days of 12.5mg I then "graduated" to 25mg. Hell, I've even tried 50mg before because I built a tolerance to this stuff. This pill used to put me & keep me asleep, but now it doesn't keep me asleep past a few hours, so I only take 1 pill to put me asleep, then take a prescription drug that has a longer half life to keep me asleep. But overall, I like this stuff better than diphenhydramine (benadryl)."


"I was prescribed this after a sinus infection turned into bronchitis. The take with food sign on the bottle should be in bold letters. I took the pill before my breakfast and threw up thirty minutes later. You need food in your stomach before the pill. This pill is the only pill that helps cure my horrible sinus infections. Eat first and you should be fine."


"Was taken off Flexeril and prescribed  Lorzone. Took 1/3 of one pill, two hours later I didn't feel right. Pain in back, hard to take a deep breath, eyes dilated, face tingled and lips swelled!  Severe reaction required hospitalization. Be careful."


"It works, except if I take it more than every other day I stutter and stammer uncontrollably,  who knew!  I wonder if anyone else has this side effect."


"I've had my second infusion.  I'm already feeling a lot better.  I have more stamina and I've already stopped using my cane unless I'm going to be walking more than 15 minutes."


"I have been on this birth control for about 3 months now. For the first 2 weeks I experienced terrible mood swings and was extremely sensitive. This quickly went away. Now I'm very satisfied with the pill I went from extremely horrible heavy and painful periods to having an extremely light period that lasts 3 days. I'm also very regular which has never happened to me before. The only thing now that keeps me from giving this pill 10 out of 10 is that I went from having clear skin to breaking out and it hasn't cleared up for the past 3 months. I have a little bit of acne around my mouth. Reading other people's experiences made me hopeful and I definitely hope it clears up soon. I'll just have to stick it out a little longer on this pill."


"I have recently switched to Apri28 from having tried a handful before it. I have been on Yasmin for the past 3 and a half years. Nothing really affected me except that I felt I was getting really moody and would snap for no reason, and I was always a happy person before. So naturally, I wanted a change. I waited a month after coming off of it and my back and forehead started to break out which I NEVER had, even before Yasmin so I started taking Apri right away. Honestly, it took a couple weeks for my body to adjust but I am clear once again, I feel like myself FINALLY! And I haven't had any problems. My left leg was a little tingly at times after a week or two, but that is gone.. even after only 2 months I know it was a good choice for me."


"I have been treated for Schizoaffective Disorder and Bipolar 1 since 1998.  I have been on many medicines and combinations of medicines.  In 2006 I had been off medicines for about a year when I went into psychosis and extremely manic - I was not sleeping and could not relax.  The hallucinations and delusions were troubling.  I was given Seroquel and on the FIRST NIGHT I slept and slept very well for the first time in months.  I woke up with a clear head and was not confused about who or where I was.  I did not get the zombie feeling but I was very tired all the time - taking Seroquel 4 times a day.  When my dose and frequency were reduced the sleepiness went away.  (I take it just at bedtime now).  I didn't get weight gain from it.  Seroquel was my miracle medicine."


"I have been taking Phenergan 25mg for yrs now. I have no problem with it and it works fine for me. This is for the lady that said she was 65yr old and her daughter had same reaction. You are severely allergic to Phenergan, do not take it any more, please. My wife was prescribed it for nausea and vomiting. She started taking it and every time she started feeling like throwing up by the time I made her go to the emergency room she was on the couch with her feet raised, I mean I had to put a cinder block under the end of the couch to raise it up enough for her. She could not stand up without throwing up and I had to hold her up to get to the bathroom. She was in the hospital for a week. Now she cannot look up without getting dizzy & going to pass out!"


"I've had kyleena inserted for only two months and I've experienced a lot of the bad side effects, including fatigue (feeling sleepy constantly and lack energy), weight gain, cravings, anxiety and depression. Before kyleena I was very healthy and mostly emotionally grounded. I am in my early 30s and I have previously used pills before but did not work well for me due to the level of hormones. When I went in for a consultation, I was told that the level of hormone in Kyleena is significantly less. I have been getting acnes as well as depressive thoughts. Not recommended"


"It's effective, and the side effects aren't that bad.
Pros:
- It works.
- Hasn't caused weight gain.
Cons:
- I've noticed that since I started taking it my body temperature has been higher than normal, even if I'm not sick.
- A few times it's made me act hyper. Not sure why, but my psychiatrist said I should be fine. Doesn't happen very often anymore.
Notes:
- Not to be taken by people with Bipolar disorder. If your doctor prescribes you this, make sure they are aware you're bipolar.
Would I recommend? Yes."


"I started taking Sertaline last july for panic and anxiety and also for severe pms, it was my last option, and the best decision I could have made, the first few weeks a was very nervous. I woulnt say it increased the anxiety much a was just so scared to take them, I was prescribed 50mg, I decided a would half them so I done that for the first month, so I didn't get any side effect of the meddication,  I am still on them now, and feel I will stop on them alot longer as it been the first time in four year that I been happy and ablw to live a normal life, its totally the right desion, if your prescibed somwthing take it, dont let the anxiety take over, I undestand its scary your first one, but it the only way u will get better.. good luck"


"I took Monistat 7 last night and it was okay. But this morning I woke up and it was burning it was causing me a lot of discomfort. I took a shower with cool water to try to rinse out the rest of the medication but, it did not work. Since I am still burning I'm going to stop using the medication and visit my doctor because it's not getting better. I'm extremely upset because I took an over-the-counter test before you treat and the stick remained yellow so it said if it's yellow that means you have a yeast infection but when I took the medication Monistat 7 I started burning and having lots of irritation. Prior to me taking this medication I did not have any burning non itching just a slight irritation and discharge.Will never use again."


"Old and reliable."


"Taken for costochronditis.Works very well. Prescription too strong for me (350 mg) so I cut in half. Takes away the pain but can't skip a dose. Pain will come back full force. Absence of pain. Better taken with food. Can cause stomach problems."


"I am giving it a 5 for now. I am only on day number 6. The first day I felt horrible. Second day to the 5th day I had zero side effects. Today I am dizzy headed and just feel off. Around the 4th-5th day I noticed I was craving sweets in the afternoons. I'm hoping the sweets craving in the afternoons will go away after I start taking the second pill in the evenings. I'm not giving up on this pill as I would love to have help losing weight. I am currently 186. My next doctor's appointment is on May 9th. I'll update then!"


"I've had the rod 18 months now. In this time I've gained weight a developed anxiety that bad I no longer have social life. I am in pain constantly ie back tummy headache I'm exhausted everyday. I don't even feel like a human. Also sore breasts irregular periods and insomnia. Joint pain the lot. Severe mood swings almost bipolar type. Seriously affected me also pain where it was. I personally Wouldn't  recommend took over my whole life"


"I have been on Rexulti for 3 weeks as an add on to Wellbutrin XL 300mg for major depression disorder. I have battled this for years trying so many different meds, finally found WB worked for me, however I still felt like I had mild depression. I wanted to smile again, laugh again and this med has done that for me. On my 4th day, I laughed and thought, this is working, finally! I was prescribed 0.5 for a week to increase to 1.0 the start of the 2nd week. The first week I felt hyper, energetic, and happy.. I had to call my Dr because I felt if I went up on the dose I would start having panic attacks and anxiety. She told me to stay on the 0.5 and increase if I felt like I needed to. I am still on the low dose. I'm in my 3rd week."


"I'm about to start my third month of microgestin fe 1/20 and its great. I have to say that the WORST symptom I experienced was very mild nausea/loss of appetite, and even that would only last for an hour or two after I took it, then I would be fine. I found that it helps to eat something small (like crackers) before taking it. I'm a Sunday starter and I take it at 7:30 each morning. Also, my breasts have gotten a little bigger (next size up), and my acne hasn't changed much, even though it wasn't bad at all before I started this. My hair hasn't fallen out and I've actually lost a few pounds due to loss of appetite. My periods are now more like spotting, but lasts the full 7-8 days. I can get away with just a panty liner though."


"I'm nineteen and this is my first time on birth control. I'm NOT having a good experience at all. I have been bleeding for fifteen days straight. I'm always dizzy and constant headaches. I'm always depressed and the breast tenderness is non-stop. I think I'll be coming OFF it."


"I started taking this for bipolar 2 disorder and am prescribed Xanax for anxiety. My doctor started me out at 100mg of gabapentin (3x/day) after using Topamax to treat my bipolar disorder. The Topamax worked great for my mood, but caused me to lose too much weight, and constant parathesias in my arms, legs and even face. This medication works the same way without the side effects! (I'm now at 300mg 3x/day) I haven't even had need for my Xanax because this helps so much with my anxiety, as well! And it doesn't make me drowsy like Xanax does. I'm so happy I came across this and asked my doctor to try it. I hated antipsychotics but wanted to control my symptoms. I thought that was a no win situation, but gabapentin is my answer!"


"My rheumatologist started me on Ultram a few weeks ago. I also take Zoloft. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia approximately 10 years ago and have tried several medicines. My rheumatologist was concerned about my long term use of Tylenol and Advil on my kidneys and liver and said this would be easier on my body. It has helped a lot. I have much more energy and much reduced pain, it helps me go to work regularly and have a life with my family, but if I miss a dose I am really moody and weepy, so everyone knows when I haven't had it.  I like it so far."


"Very helpful!!"


"Worked pretty good for me. I only had a little pain in my stomach but it went away.

"


"Took 150mg a day for several years. I lived with the dizziness when getting up or kneeling down. Also adversely affected my urination habits. Hard to go, weak stream etc. The doctor switched me to Benicar 20mg. Works better on lowering blood pressure, NO dizziness at all, and peeing is back to normal. Benicar is a MUCH MUCH better blood pressure medicine for me."


"My son is 14 and although he had signs of ADHD it was clearly obvious when he got in High school and started to struggle more than ever. I dont need to go into all his symptoms because he has so many and wish I did not wait so long to wake up and smell the coffee (if you know what I mean). Anyway I went to the Doctor and after all my research I asked the doc (I am a nurse by the way) if we could try Vyvanse and he said yes, that is after he determined that "Yes" he has ADHD. The first week back at school (after break) the teachers could not believe the change in him. In Algebra(before medicine) he was flunking all his tests and today he sent me a text that he got his first "A". The knowledge was all there, it just needed help to be released."


"Me & my guy friend ended up having sex yesterday..I'm 19 and this was the first time for me and second time for him. We were dumb not to use a condom, after he ejactulated we laid down for about 5mins and started again. Well he still had cum on him the second go around, after I went home I started thinking and flipped out. He thought I was on birth control, and I'm not. Thankfully I had cash on me enough to buy plan b. I have no clue if it has worked yet, but I pray that it does! I made a big mistake, and I'm way too young to have kids especially being a college student. Wish me luck guys, & pray for me!"


"I had rotator cuff and bone spur surgery a week ago. At first they gave me hydrocodone 750 and I was still in pain so they changed me to Toradol 10 mg and I still have no relief. I have been in unrelenting pain for 7 days and I can't believe no one can help me!"


"Been taking for 10 mths. I went from every 15 min. urges to (on average) 1.5-2.0 hrs. It's much better, yes. But even though, getting up 4-5 times a night is not ideal. Side effects: 2 nose bleeds so far after 6 mth mark. No big deal. Constipation, (can be taken care of with stool softeners, when needed) had dry mouth, but has subsided almost completely. During the few weeks of taking this medication symptoms seemed to get worse. But it got much better after 6-8 weeks. I take it at 6-7pm. Doesn't make me sleepy or keep me awake. I hope to God, there will be another drug in the near future that will be better than what's out there now, and hopefully less expensive."


"I have bph and overactive bladder.
I take avodart, vesicare and uroxotral.
I have been taking these three for years and have noticed little or no difference in my urinary habits. I still go on average once an hour and recently have started to wake up in the middle of the night three times versus 1 or 2 times prior to the last few months.
I am going to speak to my doctor because these meds seem to be not helping me."


"I found this to be a very effective anti-depressant.  I feel it helped me turn my life around. I had tried about 7 or more other drugs which were all unsuccessful in treating my condition. The big drawback was that it stopped working after about 4 years and I am again trying various anti-depressants."


"Side effects- over 5 years losing hair but I take it 3 times a day with other medication for Multiple Sclerosis."


"Do NOT take this birth control.  I have been on Orsythia for about two years.  My insurance company switched me to Vienva without notifying me.  I figured I'd just try it out to see how it worked out so I wouldn't have to keep reminding my pharmacy to give me Orsythia rather than Vienna.  Anyway, I've only been on this medication for 4 days and have already contacted the pharmacy about paying out of pocket to get my Orsythia pack back.  In only 4 days I am a completely different person.  I've gone through a roller coaster of emotions from anxiety, to anger, to just sobbing for no reason.  Also I've come very close to vomiting because anything other than carbs has made my stomach terribly upset.  I will never take this medication ever again."


"After 3 days of starting this new birth control, I was feeling nauseous. This lasted for a few days. Also, I've been bleeding for almost 3 weeks now. It's not heavy, but its tiresome and getting costly to keep buying panty liners all the time."


"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."


"After 6 days on this pill my family noticed a calmer me. I haven't experience any anxiety episodes but I have noticed I'm a bit foggy and forgetful. I'm sure it's going to take a while before my body gets used to the medication. For the most part I feel like it's doing a positive impact in my life. Also having a harder time to fall asleep hopefully that changes soon."


"I took this medicine for a sinus infection and Within my second pill I had non stop red diarrhea. So severe that I have had cuts from wiping so much. I had a severe cough and I would leak poop when I cough. And my cough has not gotten any better and it gave me a yeast infection"


"I, like many others, did not do my research on Chantix before beginning my prescription.  The first week was easy.  By day 10 I had a series of major health concerns.  I am diagnosed bi-polar and was not notified of the increase side effects of anyone with a mental illness.  I experienced rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, fainting, black outs, nausea, dizziness, shaking, major anxiety attacks, loss of sleep, etc. I must add, I've quit smoking cold-turkey before for long lengths of time and NEVER felt these effects!"


"I got my liletta put in July 2016. The insertion was painful 8/10. The most pain part is when they clamp your uterus I can still remember that pain now. I never had any pregnancies. I was crampy and had some oozeing/spotting the rest of day. I pretty much nap the whole day after that. The next day everything was fine. The following month I had a very light period. After that I haven't had an true period since, I mean I get all the symptoms of period without the blood. My sex drive actually increase with being on it. No weight gain or breakouts. So far it is amazing and I love it"


"I take Ativan at night. It calms me down, relaxes me and helps me sleep better!"


"I had a hysterectomy in 2002 and went on hormones for a few years, then quit and had no problems.  This year night sweats started really bad, waking 5-10 times a night.  This drug stopped the night sweats within 3 days, but depression, no motavation, being tired all day and being very irratable I made the decision to wean myself off after 3 weeks.  Now after 5 days off I am beginning to feel human again.  Side effects weren't worth it for me."


"I have been on mirtazapine for nearly a year now. I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression and had had reactions to other anti-depressants I had tried. After I had gone with very little sleep for a few days, my doctor prescribed me with mirtazapine. The first night I took it, I had 14hrs sleep which was such a blessing. Before this I was so bad at one point it felt like I was having constant panic attacks and felt I was going mad but mirtazapine really helped me, when I literally thought I would never get better.
I still have the odd bad nights sleep and panic attack now but nowhere near as bad. I have also put on 2 stone since I started with it but looking back on how I was, this is a small price to pay."


"I started Saxenda on 8/28 I am currently on dose 1.8. I feel great, sometimes I get bad headaches at night but they go away. I have lost 11 lb's rarely feel hungry and I do not have any cravings for sweets. Which sweets are a big thing to me. Right now I feel like I am at a stand still I eat around 800-1000 calories a day. Looking to lose 40 lb's but I am taking it as it goes. I am so happy I started this."


"This stuff works great. I have recommended this medication to many ohters who have similar symptoms regarding bi-polar and hyprer-mania.  I am very fortunate to have been diagnosed correctly and to have been treated correctly with Depakote. I have noticed the changes myself and so have many others."


"I just took my first dose and within an hour I went. But I've been sweating like anything,,  I have terrible gas and bloating. Mentally i feel a little anxious but ok. I'm wondering how long this stuff blocks the receptors?  Anyone?"


"This is the second time in my life of having a YI from antibiotics. The first time I used this product it worked great. This time I'm on day four and I'm still itching and burning like crazy. It's 3 am I can't sleep. Seriously about to shove some ice in there! What the hell!"


"Cymbalta has given me such great relief from pain for many years. Unfortunately I fall in the 1% of severe side effects. I've had no need for narcotics except for acute pain for migraines or injuries during this time. Unfortunately I have put on so much weight and my liver is enlarged and enzymes are high due to taking this medicine. Even with years of intense exercising 3-5 days a week I was unable to lose any significant weight. I must now stop taking it and I don't know of anything else that will give me this relief. Still highly recommend this for others who are most likely not going to have this trouble. But be aware just in case you fall in the 1% also. Especially if taking other medicines."


"I've been on the shot since April now that I have my second shot. I spotted blood a few times but now there's constant bleeding."


"I just got my mirena inserted yesterday and so far I feel fine. I am 20, and I have a son. The insertion wasn't very painful, though the cramps afterward were a little uncomfortable (nothing that some ibuprofen can't fix). My husband and I haven't had sex yet so I don't know if it'll affect us yet. Still bleeding a little, but nothing serious. I don't know if this review was helpful, but I'll definitely give an update within the next 6 months."


"I've been on otezla for 3 weeks now and all I can say it that this drug really works. I've been suffering from psoriasis for 6 years now. It mostly affected my scalp but also it started to spread to the rest of my body. After just 3 weeks the patches on my skin began to fade. My scalp is still scaly and itchy but I can already see the improvement in that area too. As for side effects, I had some slight headaches and stomach aches at the beginning and more frequent bowel movements but it didn't really affect my daily life whatsoever. I would really recommend this drug to anyone whose life has been affected by plaque psoriasis."


"I've had skyla for about 5 months now and I have to say I don't love it. The insertion process was not as bad as I thought, despite the crazy reviews. Once I got it however I had pretty intense cramps, lower back pain, & other period symptoms for at least a month. I am used to very painful cramps and I can usually handle them but it was honestly a nightmare. My immediate reaction to this was to get it removed but I thought I was being a bit rash and I would just leave it in and give it a fair shot. As time went on the cramps did subside and my body felt better but still not back to normal. I also noticed I was beginning to break out a lot and I've had clear skin my entire life. Not only was I breaking out but it was also painful to have sex"


"It works, didn't get pregnant for the full 3 years, however, I had some mood swings from hell, headaches, anxiety, depression, dryness, and little to no sex drive. I didn't gain a lot a weight (maybe a couple of pounds). However everyone is different so side effects can be different."


"Not able to determine true effectiveness because within a week of starting it caused severe nose bleeds so had to discontinue use. "


"I've had severe rls for about 20 years.  I used Vicodin for about 6 years.  It worked really well except for needing to take more in the middle of the night (needed extended release).  Moved to Hawaii and doctors won't prescribe vicodin.  Tried Ropinorole which worked well until augmentation began.  I've been on the Neupro patch about a year and it's been wonderful except for skin irritation.  In the last month I've started having rls sometimes when I go to bed.  I thought maybe the patch had come loose or maybe even a bad batch of patches.  I'm on a new box now and still having the problem so I guess augmentation happens with Neupro also."


"Was prescribed pazeo from my eye doctor for allergic conjunctivitis, It does seem like my eyes are clearer, but it gives me an awful  tasting drip in my throat and maybe upsetting my stomach. I've been taking the medicine for five days one drop in each eye, and was given a sample that lasted the five days. When I got the prescription I was able to use a coupon that brought the price from 190$ to 40$ .... The prescribed bottle was is literally the same size as the free sample I got!!!! It's only 5 days worth of drops and it's a 2.5ML bottle. The other thing that bothers me is what is in the drops... Boric acid??? Is this ok to have dripping into my stomach from using in my eyes? Not sure about pazeo yet...."


"My mom was prescribed Seroquel in 2010 for dementia ! I talked to my pharmacist. Tom, he showed me the FDA's warning; Seroquel had been given the highest warning "Black Boxed"  Mom had Dementia, was 75 yrs old, and weighed 76lbs, she died in October, '11"


"I'm 45 and it was to treat heavy bleeding and has done that well. Light pads needed only. I have to wear a panty liner every day due to the yellow discharge (side effect) no, it's not an infection. I find that annoying but apart from that my moods are fine, I haven't put any weight on, my breast tenderness has improved but my finger joints and muscles are very sore in the mornings only. They were not sore like this prior."


"I had my ovaries removed (out-patient) 5 years ago at age 41. Next day (never fell asleep) I had paralyzing fear, but had no idea why. My husband took me to the ER where my heart rate was 173! I was in the hospital for a week; 3 days no sleep. I was given Klonopin; it was AMAZING! I had been admitted for my first ever panic attack! After leaving the hospital I continued having insomnia and panic attacks. My GP now prescribes 0.5 mg as needed. I have a bottle in my purse and by my bed. I only take HALF a pill, ONLY WHEN NEEDED; and RARELY do I take the other half 30 min later. Just knowing I have a med that works on hand reduced # of attacks. When used RESPONSIBLY, Klonopin is a LIFESAVER! Never take more of any med than you actually need!"


"I also suffer from bipolar 1 disorder and chronic pain. The drug so far has made me eerily calm and it's almost like I'm high all the time. So far so good... It has calmed my mania down since I am rapid cycling. Also my short term memory hard been affected.

I am a Veteran as well."


"Much better than Paxil"


"Bigger boobs, clear skin, no emotional disruption, no ill side effects that I've noticed whatsoever. Absolutely a godsend."


"GREAT. Works awesome, helps my sex drive. The only bad thing if you want to call it bad is I'm growing a hairy belly as this is where I apply it."


"I've been on Paxil for 3 days and I honestly can say I've been sleep mostly. Jaws are clicking. But I feel calm .. I hope it works out for Me. I also started meditations so I've been real spaced out. I can barely live my life with my anxiety. I will definitely post in 2 weeks with my progress."
