"I was prescribed this medicine yesterday. I had been taking Norco 10-25 which was no longer working. My guess is the tolerance I had built up. I took it yesterday and it really helped my pain. I have severe pack pain due to narrowing of spine due to herniated disc and osteoarthritis which is in most of my major joints. I had one hip replaced 8 months ago and due for another soon. I took my dose this morning, 50mg every 8 hours and really weird feeling. Hoping it goes away because my husband said I was a lot more pleasant to be around yesterday. I was also put on Lyrica at bedtime. Could this be cause of spacey feeling?"


"I took Junel Fe 24 for a few months after switching from Lo Loestrin Fe. My periods were very irregular- maybe once every 3 months. They were light and usually only lasted like 2 days. They helped keep my skin clear which was a plus. My sex drive came back after I switched from the Lo Loestrin. My anxiety was still pretty bad. I had increased appetite and gained another 10 pounds. I was always bloated. I think I'm going to find another birth control."


"I’ve been on this pill for about 2 years, it raised by blood pressure, I gained about 20 pounds and my acne got slightly worse. I don’t know why it took me so long to get off of it but I’m so happy I did."


"I started my pill July 12 2013 and I weighed myself the following Monday July 15th I lost 7 lbs and I kept stepping on and off the scale because I didn't want to believe what I saw. I've currently lost 11 lbs in two weeks. I haven't lost anything this week. I work out 5 times a week and give myself the weekend for my muscles to recover. And I also force feed myself. Sometimes I get bored and go workout some more after I get done with work. I get dry mouth every single day and it gets annoying to me actually. The first day I took my pill I had a horrible headache. I sleep very well surprisingly because it does say one of the aide effects is insomnia. I do get dizzy here and there in random spurts. But all in all I love this pill."


"I started taking on 6/23/15 at 301 and as of today,  8/19/15, I am at 271! Woohoo! Nobody's really noticed much, but I feel different and my face shows a major change. Got 2 refills today, so I'm hoping to lose at least 30 more in the next 2 months! I will update :)"


"I'm 54 yo, and have had Graves Disease since I was 21, after the birth of my first child. At that time 9/10 of my thyroid was removed due to a nodular goiter. For about 20 years, I was fine without any medication. About 15 years ago, I began Synthroid at 25 mcg and am now up to 75mcg. I feel well. However, I am extremely careful about my health in general - take many supplements, and no other drugs, and eat a very healthy diet. I did HRT for about 10 years, and stopped this year. Still, feeling fine. I'm sure my diet and lifestyle have a lot to do with that. I think you should get second and third opinions from endocrinologists if your concerns aren't being taken seriously by your GP."


"I was diagnosed in 2013 with schizophrenia and depressive behavior. Prior to my last hospitalization none of the meds were working on me. My family changed my physician and she firmly believed Invega combined with Sertraline would do the trick. I am most grateful to her and my family for their desire to help me. I no longer hear the voices, I can go out in the public, watch TV, listen to the radio and enjoy it like I used to. I feel safe again, the paranoia of thinking people were after me is gone, I don't have suicidal thoughts anymore and I'm starting to build a social life again. I am 24 years old and I'm grateful for the unconditional support my family and new doctor have giving me, My life back."


"So I started bc yesterday... no joke I'm hormonal as heck! Even typing this makes me want to cry. I mean I'm a small woman 21, 4"11 and I kind of expected to be like this. My doctor said it tricks my brain into thinking its preagnant so that certain part of my body stop working.  Like in this case the inflammation that causes my deadly cramps. Now I'm new to this whole birth control but I think its normal to feel sad and gain weight and all that because of what women go through during pregnancy so though it makes me feel super tired its kind of a good thing cause get this, I'm an insomniac haha.  These mood swings are laughable - when I catch myself crying because I didn't share my sandwhich with my two dogs. Long story short I'm hoping this works"


"I have never slept so well or had any withdrawal problems on this medication.  This medication is a God-send.  I wish I would have taken my therapist's advice and taken it sooner.  Being from a family of alcoholics and eventually becoming one myself I was left with no other option but this one.  It was my last hope.  I can say that this medication works, and works well.  You think clearer and your sleep patterns return to normal.  Sleeping was a problem for me before.  I would recommend anyone with a dependency problem to discuss this medication with their doctor or therapist."


"I have only been on Belviq for less than a week. I haven't worked out yet but my side effects were extremely bad the 1st two days. I had a migraine that was  out of this world and I felt very intoxicated. Don't know what to say about it yet but I stepped on my scale after 4 days and I gained weight. Not cool and I'm almost scared to continue. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated."


"I am a 70 year old male who suffers from Actinick Keratosis from exposure to the harsh rays of the sun. Efudex is a fantastic product. Does exactly what is claimed. Make sure that you wash your hands completely after each application. Do not get it on your lips or you will experience great discomfort, (cracked and bleeding lips). Once you have completed the process (twice a day for 21 days), use Hydroval Cream 0.2% to assist in the healing process (works great)."


"I recently switched from Ortho Tricyclen Lo because I had spotting, so I'm switching to a pill with more progesterone because that's what the nice doctor lady said I should do. But! While on this pill I could definitely tell I broke out instantly and had crazy mood swings during the third week but it was do-able. I don't think I like phasic pills. But other than that no weight gain, no loss of sex drive, and still the same periods (which have always been bad)."


"I've had neck surgery, both shoulder surgeries and chronic low back (disc) problems for the past 14 years. Oral medications somewhat helped OxyContin, then Oxycodone and Morphine sulfate. Even Ibuprofen 800 for inflammation in my muscles and sciatic nerve on left leg. But, recently my Dr. put me on Fentanyl patch 25mcg/72 hour. It was amazing, I was pain free!! But, at a cost. I couldn't tolorate the side effects. For me? It affected my torso and abdomen area felt numb like Novacaine. It weakened my back and leg muscles. All within the first 16 days. I removed the (6th) patch then hospitalized, had a MRI of my brain to rule out Stroke. Almost complete loss of balance, using a cane. Started therapy to regain strength. No longer on the patch."


"This is the very first birth control I ever used. The first few days I was overcome anxiety but that subsided. The first month I did have nausea and heartburn but that also subsided.  Two weeks after I began the pill I started my period which lasted off and on for about 3 weeks (which is normal, just annoying).  I switched birth controls with my Dr. because this was not stopping my period at all (I wouldn't take the break pills either).  I continued to get my period at random times which is not my goal with birth control.  It was not a horrible experience however, everyone's body responds differently."


"I tried this medicine but had to discontinue using it. The side effects were horrible for me."


"I used this with great success for two years and then it totally stopped working.  My dermatologist said the clindamycin antibiotic often becomes ineffective after awhile."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"My 17 year old son is having a colonoscopy tomorrow and is having a horrible time getting this down. I am on my way to go get him a lemon to see if he sucks on it and then swallows the solution if it would make it any easier. He got the first liter down but the second liter is a nightmare. Some company needs to come up with something better."


Brompheniramine / dextromethorphan / pseudoephedrine

"I find that giving my 4 yr old son Bromfed DM, makes him aggressive and sleepless. I am not sure if its a combination with Albuterol or just by itself. I would say that he is hypersensitive to these drugs including zyrtec, claritin and singulair. When he was younger I would give him bromfed dm and zyrtec also.  He would be hyper and I thought that was his "normal behavior". When he got switched to claritin and singulair its when we noticed how much more aggressive he was becoming.  When I stopped all the medicine,  its when his demeanor completely changed. He suffers from environmental allergies & now when I give him any of the medications above,  his demeanor starts changing.  His aggression is uncontrollable. His doctors don't believe me."


"After being on hydrocodone for a few years, I was switched to Primlev. I have had no side effects at all and it helps with my chronic pain much more than hydrocodone, and I like the fact that it has only 300mg of acetaminophen. I do find that I need to take it more like every 4-5 hours instead of every 6 hours, but I've read that the effects do begin to wear off after 3.5-5 hours. Overall I consider this medication a godsend"


"I thought I had pharyngitis - sore throat and dry coughing fits -  but it turned into bronchitis.  I had been coughing for 6 days straight.  A dry cough that wouldn't stop. Took one 200mg gel cap and it stopped the coughing fits.  Amazing!!"


"I am 63 and never had a skin condition... Ever.  Heat, stress, lack of sleep all contributed to a redness to my face. Now it cracks and peels and swells. I started metronidazoleb and it clears up in two days. Put  non oily lotion over the top and I can put makeup on. Yeah"


"I purchased the zzzquil and it did not work not 1 bit , I would not recommended medication to anyone..."


"Wow, is all I can say. Was hospitalized for extreme depression after trying to take my own life and all I can say is that this drug change my life. It has been one year on it and I am so much happier. I have no side effects from taking this plus I have so much more energy."


"I've taken Vyvanse extended release and Adderall extended release. I didn't like the mood swings and irritability I suffered when they would wear off.  My doctor has since put me on Adderall immediate release 30 milligram tablets twice a day. I've taken these tablets for 2 years now and love that I can focus and I am not having mood swings or irritable at all. I have experienced dry mouth and some jitters as well as trouble sleeping. I take Ambien to sleep and it is no longer an issue. I have to take a vitamin supplement due to a huge weight loss though. I was over weight when I started Adderall and now am at a healthy weight and maintaining that weight without issue."


"I had it inserted on halloween, I started my period ten days later and haven't stopped bleeding since, I got it so I wouldn't get pregnant but I'm not gonna get pregnant if I don't have sex with all this bleeding, I have been bleeding for 13 days."


"Just had first injection (both knees) For the third series of orthovisc. The first injection is always the worst- more painful and I feel lazy the remainder of the day. I recommend getting the shots at the end of the day vs first thing in the morning if you can.  The shots have been amazing for me. I am able to ski, ride my dirt bike, hike with very little, if any, discomfort the majority of the time. Walking up and down stairs is no longer an excruciating experience."


"I avoid taking Imitrex if I can because I experience so many side effects from it. I get jaw and shoulder pain/stiffness, pain in the back of my neck and scalp, headaches, drowsiness and I just generally feel weird and awful after taking it. After 2 hours or so, my migraine goes away and the awful-ness of the Imitrex lessens so that is why I do take it occasionally. Every time I take it, I'm reminded of how badly I need to find something else."


"After suffering from major depression and anxiety for many years I had given up any hope of ever feeling "normal" again.  After being hospitalized I was placed on Pristiq and walked out of the hospital a week later feeling better than I had in 10 years.  For me this has been a miracle drug."


"I was reluctant to take this medication but essentially had no choice when faced with the possibility of losing my kidneys. It saved my kidneys and also helped greatly with my other SLE symptoms (joint pain, neuropathy and lung issues to name a few). I also can't tolerate steroids, so luckily CellCept combined with Plaquenil has kept things under control without having to add Prednisone in the mix. I did experience some issues with dizziness, hair loss and insomnia, but they have tapered off after being on it for a year now; still have problems sleeping at times though and am now experiencing some anxiety. I'm also concerned about the long term effects ie. lymphoma risks and it's very expensive, but overall it saved my life."


"I have been a functioning alcoholic for over 10 years and still don't know why I began abusing alcohol.  I started taking Campral a week ago and have had absolutely no cravings or desire to drink.

I  asked my MD what she recommended to help and Capral was her solution.  I can not believe how effective or fast it worked. I have had no side effects at all other than a loss of appetite."


"Okay, I said I'd come back with my result.. I officially got my period. (Yesterday). 10 days after taking the pill. I was 5 days late.  The pill worked for me!! I am 215lbs.

DON'T STRESS!! I was just like you.. Worried, scared even terrified that I might be pregnant. Note: I did not have any side effects until 2 days before my period came. -light spotting. -headache. -nausea. -diarrhea.

The pill works! Don't stress too much. It will only delay your period longer! Good luck ladies!"


"I began Nuvaring in July and omg I wish I haven't. I've been depressed ever since I started, nausea every once in a while but literally crying my eyes out every single day. I've thought to seek help, I've never experienced depression this bad or these thoughts before... thought I was just unhappy and idk what told me to check these reviews but I'm glad I did and I can't relate more. Took out my nuvaring last night... I'm done, "


"I can't describe how great the  sleep is now that the  RLS is gone."


"I have not smoked in over a month!  I am so glad I tried it!"


"I have been on Zoloft for 5 months now after being on my terrible Paxil (started at 50mg, then 100mg, now 150mg...zoloft) and I had to sleep 16 hours a day, and after being awake for 6 hours I'd need to go back to sleep....that's the bad side.

The good side is is that my Obsessiveness and compulsions and depression and GAD are WAY down! :)...and my psychiatrist additionally put me on Wellbutrin XL 150mg and (nicknamed "Welloft") and has had amazing results for my depression and energy level."


"I had a good experience with it. I used it for 30 days and lost 23 pounds I went from 281 lbs to 258 lbs. Very good product."


"Started taking clindamycin for a sinus infection. On day one, I took one pill at breakfast and one at lunch. When I took one pill at dinner, I was having difficulty swallowing. It felt like there was something stuck in my throat. Also in my sternum area I felt a tightening. I didn't know what was happening. The next morning I looked up the side effects and difficulty swallowing and tightness in the chest are listed. I switched to a different antibiotic and will avoid this one as it obviously affects me."


"I've been taking effexor XR for almost a year now! I suffered from post partum depression! I'm about to be 28 and had only taken an anti depressant back when I was 16 for less than a year. Negatives when starting effexor for me were insomnia and loss of appetite ! My doc prescribed me a low dose sleep aid and after 4 months of taking effexor I no longer needed the sleep aide! I'm currently on 75MGs and I'm productive, happy most days, and no more panic attacks that are unmanageable. I even gained my weight back !! This medication isn't for everyone but it worked for me! Negatives I still experience every now and then are rapid heart beat, hard to concentrate on one thing, and sometimes too much energy but can be levelled out with exercise!"


"Female, 26, suffer from anxiety, depression fatigue, sexual dysfunction due to heart surgery, hysterectomy, and traumatic couple of years. This stuff helps so much! I have energy and able to have conversations with strangers and enjoy a social life and after over a year of a complete lack of sexual interest and problems, I finally have a labido again! Not that I needed to lose weight but I was 133 lbs and due to thyroid trouble was unable to get back to my 120 lbs until starting this medication."


"This is by far the best anxiety medication on the market for immediate help it takes about 10 min. To feel the effects and it is wonderful it's immediate relaxation. I had anxiety about 5 years ago and Ativan cured it. Unfortunately I have been under a lot of financial stress lately and it started bothering me again so my doc put me back on them and it has already killed the anxiety again. Definitely a miracle drug be careful they are for short term only. "


"I took Flexeril for my back and it did help, but it made me extremely tired and gave me bad cotton mouth.  I would take it and be drowsy for 16 hours afterwards."


"I've been using Nuva Ring for two months now. It's my first attempt at hormonal birth control, so I was a little nervous about side effects. I give Nuva Ring high marks for ease of use -it's really great in that sense. Unfortunately, NuvaRing has killed my libido, which started shortly after I began using it and has only gotten worse. At first I thought it might be coincidental but now I know it's not. My first month on NuvaRing I also had a moderate acne breakout (very unusual for me). This hasn't happened again, though. I also get nausea the day after I insert a new ring, though I think that would fade if I kept using NuvaRing. I hate to give up a birth control that's so easy to use, but I refuse to spend my life without any sex drive."


"I have more energy and want to clean things up that I haven't cleaned in awhile because all I wanted to just sit around and didn't care.I felt better after the second day,Im having a problem with talking bad about some people but I think I have been holding my feelings back for along time,I just  now Im seeing I don't care what they think, which is good for me because I've always been trying to be happy around these people that would make fun of me and talk bad about me behind my back. Since it's family I have to been around them ever now and then put Im able now not letting it matter and being able to let my feelings out. I have to lose weight and its been a week and Im able to control now to think about food before just eating it up and not care."


"Aromasin is a walk in the park after using the other aromatase inhibitors."


"Well I've been off and on of zoloft and when I'm taking it my friends notice a very big difference. They say that I'm always a lot happier and more of a go getter. I just wish I would of been using it when my ex-fiancee was living here with me because well we'd probably still be getting married. As for side effect's I haven't seen really any at all, I still have a very high sex drive, I still eat like normal, and I'm a lot happier during high stress situations being in the military. But I've been taking 25mg a day in the morning and it help's tremendously. But like people say on here you just have to take it and see if it's for you or not. Hope this review helps everyone out."


"I took this med before driving somewhere. About an hour after insertion and on my way home, I started to itch. The itch turned into a breathtaking burn. I was driving like a bat out of Hell trying to figure out how to explain the situation to an officer should I be pulled over for speeding.
Thankfully I made it home and ran inside to shower. I scratched the itch, washed my vag 3 times, let the water run over it for a good 5 minutes, then got out. I used Vagisil wipes and screamed in agony. After getting dressed, I sat on the couch with my legs spread and slightly whimpering. It has been 3 hours and I think some of the meds have run out of my vag and are now burning my butt.
Hopefully this really works. "


"I was started on Celexa about 7 months ago, my moods have increased thoughts of suicide, feeling worthless, sweats , nervousness. Everyone's different I guess."


"Advair Diskus completly helped the weezing. I have a funny

taste in my mouth and have terrible heartburn."


"I've been on Prozac for 3 months now and I love it. Things aren't so negative anymore. "


"I was prescribed Roxicet 5-325 for pain relief after major abdominal surgery and I have to say this was amazing! I've never had such complete relief from any medication before.  One tablet every 4 to 6 hours kept me completely comfortable. It made me a little sleepy, but that was fine given that I was recuperating from surgery.  It would probably not be suitable for me to take while working.  The only real side effect I experienced was a little nausea, which I learned to minimize by taking it with food.  Overall, the most effective pain medication I've ever used."


"I finally had to get some help after years of debilitating insomnia. My doctor prescribed me Trazadone at a 50mg dose. However my wife advised me to start with a quarter of a pill (12.5mg) to see how I reacted. It's a good thing I took her advice, just a quarter of a pill knocks me out all night. Also as an added bonus I noticed that my mood is better since starting Trazadone, something I did not expect."


"This medicine does not work.  Obviously, the physicians are provided incentives to prescribe this non-effective medicine."


"This is the worst drug I've ever taken. It gave me horrible tremors, anxiety, & a guilt complex."


"I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 10 years ago and have been on many different Rx regimes including Tylenol 3 and 4, Cymbalta, Lyrica and
Tramadol with Tramadol being the most effective. At my highest point I was up to 400 mg per day and that just made my entire personality change for the worse so I backed off to 50 mg
4 times a day. Recently I have experienced severe gastrointestinal issues all pointing towards the Tramadol usage so I decided to wean myself off it. After 2 days at 100 mg a day big trouble, now have insomnia,  anxiety, foot cramps, sweats, agitation and overall pain."


"The only thing good about Nexaplon is the convenience of it and not having to worry about taking a pill everyday. Other than that, it is absolutely terrible. I thought that when I got it it was going to be a great decision, but it wasn't. I have had it for about 8 months now and I have had vaginal, bacterial and yeast infections off and on no matter how many times I get them treated, they always come back, I have painful urination, painful sex, pain in the stomach during sex and more. I am getting it out as soon as I can and I really do not recommend it."


"I just started taking this medication today. I'm 172 lbs and work out like a fiend but when I went to the doctor today I had actually gained weight! My Dr. prescribed this for 3 months for me and told me to keep working out. I am a very active person. Eat healthy. And drink an insane amount of water but I just couldn't drop the lbs. I came here to see everyone's results and I am looking forward to shedding these lbs along with you! I'll come back in a few weeks. Good luck everyone!!!"


"I was diagnosed with FM 3 years ago. Tried gabapentin, Cymbalta, muscle relaxers and opiates. Doc finally had me gave me lyrica (after I had to try everything else first) ams at first, it worked. I did feel "high" but that slowly went away. After approx. 2 weeks of 75mg a day, I had horrible side effects..feeling depressed, like people were talking about me or didnt like me, had no memory or wasn't able to concentrate but what finally got me to stop was I had thoughts of driving my car off of a hill that i drive down daily. I may suffer from pain so intensely that I cry all the time, can't leave my home at times or feel blue because of it, but I had never thought of taking my own life. I stopped immediately despite my docs orders."


"I have been taking Pristiq for just over a month now and I have to say it is amazing. I was experiencing severe depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. After only 5 days of being on it I felt completely back to my old self again. I cannot believe how fast it works. I am able to function normally at work, concentrate and have extremely high amounts of energy. I take mine in the evening and I find that I am staying up longer than normal. It is hard for me to fall asleep. I think I might switch to the mornings instead. Otherwise no major side effects...a few headaches in the first 2 weeks but they are gone now. Have a few hot flashes and night sweats from time to time. This medicine has helped me and I truly hope it helps you too. I feel GREAT."


"The bottle opening process is way too difficult especially for arthritis sufferers. The product is great if you ever get it open."


"I'm on Pregabalin 300mg, olanzapine 10mg, duloxetine 60mg and lamotragine 400mg.
Pregabalin has worked well for me the last two years in conjunction with the other meds. It is the most recent medication added to the mix.
I am bipolar 1 with significant clinical depression and agitated depression when hyper.
My collection of meds works well with Pregabalin an important element."


"OMG..Y'all are scaring me with some of the responses I'm seeing on here..I just started Zoloft 150mg for OCD.Obsessive thoughts and depression.It will be two weeks on the 23..Actually I feel the same before I started taking it..I haven't notice any side effects so far.What do y'all think?"


"As someone constantly in pain from sports injuries and just general pain from working out 4-5 times a week, minor sciatic recurring pain in my legs, and with no options to discontinue my weekly workout routine Percocet is perfect. Never has Percocet made me loopy, stupid, tired, or out of control. In fact, I feel more energy when I take Percocet, and I am able to not only make it to the gym but get a much more effective workout. As a 36 year old with very low level high blood pressure concerns, family history of heart problems, family obesity history, a history of being over weight myself, and adult ADHD, I have no choice but to workout! Percocet allows me to do so, while working and living a normal life. Thank you Percocet."


"Did not cause lack of sexual interest (gave it back to me) and I felt better from day one."


"My Rx is for 5mg of oxycodone up to 4 time daily.  I haven't needed it nearly that often and achieve excellent results (relief of pain) in about 30 minutes; lasting 6-8 hours.  The one downside has been constipation."


"I'm 28 5'8" Went to the doctor 6/27/14 I was weighing 240 lbs. Doctor prescribed me Qsymia to help me lose weight. I started off on the free 2 weeks supply had to go back to my doctor 7/3/14 for other reason not concerning Qsymia I was weighing 235 lbs. had lost 5 lbs within a week without exercising or dieting, just no drinking drinks (sodas) I drink lemon water or eating sweets I don't have any side effects I feel like myself. My goal is to get back to weighing 155lbs or maybe about 165lbs. I do plan on going forward with Qsymia because of the little result I had within a week. Qsymia is definitely 1 of the BEST diet pills I have tried."


"Cons - suppresses appetite, and it sucks cause I'm already so thin! (Sz 4)

Pros - increased attention, more social, and can think clearly, smoother movements.. thinking before speaking, calmer.

I don't take it on weekends (job is relatively easier on weekends) and off days.

ADHD (severe - combined type)

I think those of you who are experiencing suicidal urges & depressive moods are more likely dealing with a much deeper issue."


"I have been on Humira for 3 years. The injection is painful but the results are excellent. I do not even feel that I have a disease any longer. Lots of energy and feeling normal is so worth any of the possible side effects. Just be careful and stay away when possible from any ill persons or high populated areas."


"Was on Lo Loestrin FE before which was great, but this has been horrible! Insurance was not covering Lo anymore so Dr. suggested this. 3 months and I've had 12 lbs of weight gain, and feel bloated ALL the time. Acne for the first month and then it cleared after that, but weight gain continued. Shortness of breath, indigestion late at night (even not having anything to eat within the last 4 hours). Did not notice a decrease in PMS symptoms either like I did on Lo Loestrin. Getting off this pill for a while to regulate and going to bite the bullet and pay for Lo Loestrin $$$."


"I found out I had genital hsv 1 about a month ago. I have never seen a sore or bump of any kind down there, but experienced a burning that I compared to being cut, literally. The doctor found a lesion by the vaginal opening, that looked like little paper cuts apparently. Anyhow the 500 mg Valtrex 1× daily started helping after 2 weeks. The weird nerve-like sensations I was experiencing were all gone after 3 weeks. The only negative side effect is fatigue after I take the dose."


"Panic disorder is no fun. You feel like you have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, and that you are coming to an end! Xanax has helped me against this terrible nervousness, demonic, feeling. I only take it when I truly need it. I take the lowest dose possible 0.25. The thing about this drug is that it makes you feel so relaxed. So people keep taking it, to keep feeling good and that's when it backfires. Please only take it as needed. Don't take it if your not feeling panic at the moment. You have to respect this drug. And taking it when u don't feel panic is not the way to go. Trust me! Prayer and a lil help from xanax can make all the difference in the world!!"


"Does not work for my fibromyalgia."


"If I take 3mg's this works very well for anxiety and it works quickly, the only thing is it usually also makes me sleepy so I try to only take it when I know I can go take a nap if need be, other than that no complaints."


"Best medication ever. It takes a bit to kick in but once it does ....amazing.  I am on my way to getting my life back. Don't get discouraged it works. I was in my sixth week before i felt it and my doctor increased me to 20 mg and things are going great."


"Since being on Humira, I am a whole new person. It was hard being diagnosed at 29 with a new baby to take care of. I could barely get out of bed, open a jar or change a diaper. I do have headaches often, fatigue and slight mood swings, but worth it. I have my life back."


"Works great for me I tried Seroquel, Lunesta, and Ambien with poor results Belsomra was the key the key I've found is following the directions of taking it on a empty stomach 30 minutes before you want to sleep. I have experienced no side effects fortunately I got approval from my insurance they pay the full amount"


"I had propofol for cataract surgery combined with another drug.  I was very dizzy and slept most of the day after the procedure.  I am now four days out and still feel very fatigued - napping - which is unusual for me.  I woke up during the procedure (which is expected) and the room was spinning.  Are these things normal?  I had the propofol for colonoscopy and did not experience any of these things."


"My doctor started me on Karvia after having a terrible experience with Chateal which gave me terrible acne. My skin started clearing up almost immediately. I do have times when I'm just in a mood due to the extra hormones but I have not experienced any nausea or pain with this medication. Overall, I have no true complaints about this."


"I took this pill for 4 years and have a really bad cystic acne. Then my doc prescribed me Ortho Levora to stop it. I was amazed that it cleared my face. However, when I stop it it comes back. Well, I had a pretty bad diet and do not exercise so probably it contributes to the cystic acne lesions. Now, I exercise 5-6 times per week and diet is straight (no fast food, any types of sweet beverage- even juice or Gatorade-, no fried stuff, salty food, and etc.)  Now, I can get off Levora without having any problems with cystic acne. Weight gain wise I did pack a lot of pounds when I first taking it. Well, I was eating unhealthy so it must be the culprit not the birth control itself. If anyone complains gaining weight on this you are eating too much."


"I got this implant about 16 months ago, and at first, I hated it and I wanted to get it removed. But, I kept telling myself to just give it another month, and I'm glad I did. Like many others, I experienced a lot bleeding and spotting. I would spot for two weeks, and be on my period for a week. I was off my period for only one week. It was very frustrating. I lived with that for a year. At the year mark, things changed - I stopped getting my period! I only spot for a day or two, and only once or twice during the day. At the begging, I did experience headaches, but that only lasted for about a week or two. I am happy with this implant."


"My doctor gave me a sample of Imitrex when it first came out. It was a MIRACLE drug for me. Up to that time, nothing I took helped the headaches I got. I've used it since. Over time, my headaches have gotten less - maybe with age?? But I keep it with me all the time just in case. I "don't leave home without it."!"


"I'm not happy with this pill at all. I used to take Ortho Lo and never had any problems. Now that I had to switch, I'm more emotional, tired and I cry all the time! It's also made it a lot harder to lose weight. I'm working with the doctor so I can get back on Ortho Lo. I gave it a try. "


"Seroquel has worked wonders for me.  I have been diagnosed with Bipolar 2, and after 7 months on Seroquel, I feel like a whole new person.  I had been severely depressed and was self harming before getting on Seroquel, and now I have never been so happy before!  The only problem is the weight gain - I have gained about 20 pounds since I started taking this medicine.  But this side effect is worth it to have my depression and anxiety gone!"


"This has been good for me."


"Terrible! First year was ok, I gained weight tho but I didn't have periods. But second year is a nightmare! Irregular bleedings, pain, cramps and mood swings. Painful pimples appeared every time I had bleedings.

Now I can't wait to remove it, I hope that I will recover.

Never recommend to anyone!"


"I have been taking Wellbutrin for 16 months now. I started taking it when I was 7 months pregnant with my second child. I suffer from severe post partum depression so my Doctor decided to start me on the Wellbutrin before I gave birth. It made an incredible difference! After giving birth the second time I felt about 80% better then I did the first time. I have been taking it ever since. I had minor side effects of nausea and mood swings. I am so happy I continued with this medicine! Wellbutrin is an amazing medication, I recommend putting up with the side effects because the results are life changing!"


"I love Paxil but I have to say I have pur on weight being on it and I have the most horrible vivid nightmares where I can't wakeup. I think it works great for anxiety but I think maybe this medicine has stopped working because I've been on it so long it has improved my life for the better but I'm thinking of changing now cause it just doesn't do the same for me anymore."


"@Nishimaru2. I have the same problem your son does except mine is a bit...odd. If I'm not watching what I'm doing I'll find myself in the bathroom plucking facial hairs with tweezers. Weird, I know but only on Adderall."

"This pill was okay at first then about 6 weeks into it I noticed the nausea, and stomach cramping continuing no matter what I ate.  Then vomiting started so much that it dampened my quality of life.  I couldn't go out to eat or anything.  I had to stop it."


"Tried to take months earlier but stopped due to nausea and diarrhea. Gave it another try today....bad idea. Very sick within 1 hour of taking. Horrific headache followed by vomitting everything in my stomach."


"I started takin Zoloft when I was 16 or 17. It was the 2nd antidepressant I tried and I loved it! The side effects were less servere than any other med I've tried today, the only downside was that after awhile I noticed it stopped working and I was increasing my dosage more frequently. I started on 25mg and worked up to 200-250mg."


"I've been on YAZ for over 3 years now. It's the only birth control I've been on and it's been amazing. I suffer from severe PMDD and I was placed on it. So far my PMDD is not fully gone but it has helped my life tremendously. My period used to be 8 days long and extremely heavy. Now it's around 5 days and very light. I used to get severe cramping and now I rarely cramp. I also had mild acne and it's virtually gone now except for the few I get right before my period. For physical issues from my period is has been really successful but for the emotional issues it has helped mildly. I still get the panic, anger and depression up to a week before my period but it has calmed down. Also no pregnancy scares at all or weight gain."


"I started this shot in order to stop my already heavy flow, and it did the complete opposite! Every time that I take the shot, I am period free for a week, and then after that, 3 months of constant bleeding. It was the worst idea ever. Thank goodness that I did not go with the arm implant, I bet that I would have been bleeding for 3 years straight, no breaks!"


"This literally lets me exercise and drink coffee without acid reflux happening."


"did not really help with back pain."


"I had bad reaction from Ritalin so I was given Strattera. Strattera gave me and still gives me a nauseous feeling, I always take it with food and after driving to avoid this side effect as much as possible. At times it gives me head aches and irritability due to me feeling off. It is very effective in controlling my hyperactivity. I am much more attentive. Its benefits out weigh its current side effects, I recommend talking to your doctor and to keep trying new medicines to find out what works best for you. I gave it a 6/10. Its expensive, $140ish"

"The drug is starting to work well for my hypomania/racing thoughts. The only thing I found is that it increases my appetite and weight."


"Aciphex was a true dream come true for me. Ive suffered from savere reflux for 3 years now, because of a hiatel hernia, and this is the first and only thing that has completely stopped the reflux and pain!!!!"


"I am 21 years old and I have been on the patch for 2 and a half years now. NO BABY! and no scares either! I live by this patch. I have had no side effects apart from my breasts growing larger (which you can't complain about). "


"I have been using Androgel for about 3-1/2 weeks now. 4 pumps a day( 5 grams), and I am finding no difference in mood, sex drive, libido, weight, or anything. I have been applying it as recommended, yet nothing. I do not know my numbers as of yet, as my Doctor prescribed this over the phone. I was hoping that this would help me turn the corner."


"My insurance refused to pay for my oseni they told my Dr to try januvia. During the first 7 days I developed a constant cough along with upper stomach pain and diarrhea I stopped med and symptoms ceased, started back on meds yesterday and severe stomach pain returned along with diarrhea. Stopping this med for good - it's not good for me, the side affects are  too painful."


"In mid May suffered a back injury after heavy squatting in the gym. The pain progressively became worse to the point where you couldn't stand/walk. The Dr (in a UK citizen) started me on Cocodamol and naproxen. This did not help, and I was unable to sleep for more than 2 hrs a night. I was then put on amitriptyline which did not work, as well as slow release morphine, still with no relief. Yesterday (25 Jul 2014) my Dr advised switching from amitriptyline to Gabapentin. I started on 3x300mg tablets. Last night I had my first full night sleep in 8 weeks. I cannot explain the relief I felt to wake up in the morning like a normal person again."


"Started taking 150mg (so just the one pill in the morning) 3 days ago and I am shocked!!!!

I've had more energy, less anxiety (I have anxiety disorder and panic attacks normally), feel happier AND I don't feel like smoking much.......

I go hours without a smoke, yet I used to smoke 30 cigarettes a day!

I'm only on day 3! Tomorrow I am supposed to step up to 2 pills, and I assume I won't want a smoke at all. Brilliant pill. Wish I could stay on it, as I feel amazing!"


"The general side effects of dehydration and urination aside, those were not my problem.  Fatigue was the issue.  I was on 100mg to start and noticed after six weeks a decrease in mental acuity -- missing things I might not otherwise, more forgetful.  My dose was increased to 300mg and all I wanted to do was sleep.  Went back down to 100mg, but the exhaustion continues.  Time to try something else."


"Took Lipitor for about 5 years.  It kept my lipids under control well, but developed severe leg aching and muscle cramps, especially at night.  Went off it and within a week, all these reactions disappeared."


"I got mirena inserted on Dec. 8th, 2014. At my 6 week postpartum checkup.
I started bleeding immediately and consistently until March 23rd.(and I mean every single day for over 3 months)
As of today, I still have a period every single month, it hasn't gotten any lighter at all. My pms is worse. I get bad acne, which was never a problem before.  The strings make my boyfriend uncomfortable during intercourse (after having them shortened TWICE already). Heavy spotting in between periods, cramps all month long.
My Dr. Assures me that it will get better, and they don't want me to have it removed. But honestly, I feel worse off now than when I got it."


"Having failed most SSRI's Remeron was a real surprise. It calmed me, helped me sleep, helped me focus but most importantly had almost no side effects. My appetite went crazy the first week but mellowed out afterwards. I get pretty drowsy about an hour after taking it, so I only take it at bedtime. I had to drop from 45 mg to 30 mg due to it amping me up rather than sedating. Works fine, no tolerance type effects unlike Z-drugs."


"This is my first time on any birth control. My doctor originally prescribed Yaz but after reading the reviews I decided I didn't want to try it and asked for Ortho Tri Cyclen. The pharmacy gave me mononessa. The reviews were a bit better so I decided to give it a try. The first day I took it I was nauseas and had chest tightness and a rush of adrenaline for some reason! I don't know what happened but I felt on top of the world! The second day was a bit better and I felt normal. I'm on the third day now and I'm feeling a little nauseas but mostly bloated."


"I had an allergic reaction to several medications, each including Yellow #6 and Yellow #10 dyes in the gel coating on the medications. The reaction was a rash on my stomach along the waist band of my underwear and my pants, under my bra band, my arm pits. Anywhere there was a lot of warmth on my body or a lot of chafing from clothing. The rash was also darkly pigmented. Each time I stopped a medication that gave me a rash, it took approximately 8-9 weeks for the rash to go away. After figuring out what was causing it, my doctor prescribed Singulair (chewable) combined with Atarax. The Atarax was to help me sleep and keep from scratching at night. After 10 days, the rash is gone. I can stop the medication in another week or so."


"I have been taking oxycodone several times a day for the past 10 days because of severe pain related to shingles. To date it has been totally ineffective in reducing the pain. In addition it has resulted in constipation."


"I've been on Apri for a few years and it works 100% great!
-My acne is nonexistent
-my periods are always falling  on the 3-4 days that are supposed to
-My cramps are gone, I used to curl over in pain because of them! Now I have little to no discomfort
-BUT the reason I gave a 9 out of 10 is because, your sex drive is close to none, I hate it for my husband, which is why I'll probably have to make a switch soon, but for me, I love the product!"


"I've been living with chronic pain now for over 5 yrs due 2 DJD, Rhuematoid Arthritis, 5 Herniated Discs in my neck, 2 in my Lumbar Spine. I started seeing a Pain Management Neurologist and between Trigger point injections, Prednisone as needed, Tramadol 200mg-400mg a day if needed I was finally able to function again. There wasn't any side effects that occurred while I took it and I found this medication extremely effective. It never removed my pain completely but did allow me to function again. As anyone w/chronic conditions we must learn to live with some pain. There's no natural or man made Opiate in Tramodol but it works similarly as a drug that contains an Opiate. I was on this drug on/off for almost 3 yrs and no addiction issues."


"Generally had all the typical problems, but I'm 30 and my T-levels were >220. Axiron, like the gels (which are just a mess), is expensive. My expensive insurance has a high prescription deductible so the coupon from Lilly didn't work. I'm seeing about injections (they're much cheaper, I think only once a week, and have zero contamination risk with my child).

Results? Mostly just positive attitude and better thinking, but that is probably the placebo. My libido did noticeably improve the first week but it went back down. Also under my arms turned red from irritation but that went away after awhile. I'm giving it 60 more days to see what happens."


"I have been on this pill for 5 months and have put on 8 pounds which is very uncommon for me. I also have zero sex drive. I am getting off this pill immediately. I'm going back to a regular monthly period pill."


"I was diagnosed with ADD and my doctor recommended me to take vyvanse 40mg. The first day I took it around 6:00 am and it started to work about an hour in. I was able to focus very well and was a lot more sociable. However, the good effects of the medicine only lasted for 5 hours and then everything went downhill and I felt depressed. My heart was beating faster than usual, dry mouth, and had no desire for food. The next day thinking it would be better, it didn't kick in until around 2:00pm and only lasted for a few hours. Sometimes it would leave me feeling very antisocial and aggitated. Today is my last day taking it because it hasn't worked for me at all today. Wasn't hungry all day, felt very sweaty, nervous, aggitated, out of breathe."


"My doc told me I had an upper respiratory infection and prescribed the Z-pack and Benzonatate for the coughing. My cough was severe and already had lasted a week with it. My abs were super sore from coughing so much. The first time I took this, it seemed to work. I barely coughed the next few hours. When I took it again though it didn't do anything. In fact it made me cough more than if I hadn't taken it. Kept taking it before I went to work and it would cause me to have coughing fits and now my ribs hurt."


"Started on low dosage of 50mg morning & afternoon and 300mg at night but not enough relief at night so increased dosage to 600mg at night.  Finding myself to be a little more tired now at also feeling dizzy."


"Lexapro has changed my life for the better.  When I was in my early 20's, I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety and depression.  I took Lexapro for about 15 years until recently weaning off of it because I was feeling great.  That was a mistake.  Three months after weaning, I started to suffer from severe anxiety and depression, and now have starting taking Lexapro again with the help of a therapist and my doctor who specializes in stress management.  The day I went back on Lexapro, I started to feel better.  I have been able to sleep and focus on my job and my life has improved greatly.  I am convinced that going back on Lexapro saved my marriage and my relationship with my 2 1/2 year old son."


"Wiw"


"This medication made me more manic"


"After I had my son I decided to try Implanon. It took no time to put in and was relatively painless. It did hurt for a couple days after but nothing like the Depo shot. I have had no side effects. I have actually lost weight. And the best thing is I don't have to remember to take it everyday! I have had maybe 2 periods which was more like spotting in the last year that I have had it. It's great!"


"I am a 56 year old women in post-menopause. I have been suffering with hot flashes for 16 years and I finally decided that I cannot do this anymore.  I started Prempro two weeks ago and I am officially hot flash free and happier then I have been in years!  I cannot believe that it took me this many years to do this.  I was always scared of the risks involved.  I am so happy I made this decision because my life is now amazing.  I have not experienced and side affects at this point.  Hopefully that will continue."


"I have debilitating anxiety which keeps me from leaving the house many days. Before, I would cry almost daily, even when life was going better. The little things tore me apart. With the buspar... it's like I'm getting "moments" back. I still get anxious sometimes, but I have occasional periods of feeling. ... normal. Clear. Simple, natural interactions with family and friends are possible again. As time goes on, I'm experiencing more and more "moments" of real life again, or, life before anxiety. Multiple friends have told me I seem much happier. Though I don't particularly think of myself as suddenly " all sunshine and roses",  I feel like I have my life back. I'm actually living again."


"I have had this twice. The first last me almost 8 yrs before I needed 2nd injections and now over 7 yrs and still pain free
I'm happy with that injections...works better than steroids and cortisone shots.
Hardly any  side effects"


"I absolutelllly loved this BC. The first one I went on (probably the last too) and it's done wonders. I haven't gotten pregnant (woo!) & it cleared up all my acne! I have naturally very oily skin & break out right before I get my period, but on Aubra those annoying whiteheads went away. When I first started taking it I found myself hungrier than usual & with an increased appetite, and I gained almost 10 lbs, but after the first few months my appetite curbed and went back to normal & I lost the weight. My boobs grew slightly and it helped regulate my period. My friend was also on Aubra but had to switch because it made her gain a lottttt of weight. Everyone's body reacts differently, but personally Aubra worked for me :^))"


"I have found that people around me say that I have improved  and seem better yet, inside I still feel like I'm in a deep dark hole. I've only been on 40mg for 3 months however.

As for increased sex drive!?! When does that happen? It's killed my sex life.

Have lost a lot of weight due to food restrictions, but needed to shed a few kilos.

 I also find it messes with my bladder. Anyone else have this issue? Some days I can pee no problems, others, it's just painful and I struggle to pass urine even when busting to go!

Though after reading others stories, it gives me hope, that this drug, will bring me out of the darkness...... As I'm really over being in here. (I had a nervous breakdown)."

"I was on necon for 5 months. It worked pretty well. My periods were very light and short 2-3 days. My complexion stayed the same, i didnt have acne but i had a few pimples. I stopped using it because I got cramps which I didn't have that bad before taking the pill. The cramps were not that bad though. I went up in breast size slightly. I would reccomend this pill."


"I have severe kidney stones and back and joint pain. I took lortab for years. I wanted to get off the heavy duty pain meds. My Dr. suggested tramadol 50mg. I really had little hope it would help. I was shocked when it worked. I take 3 50mg tabs a day. It gave me my life back. My Dr. told me to try it and if it didn't work I could go back to the lortab. There's no need for that now. I only wish I discovered it sooner!"


"I am currently on the last week of the 2nd month of the Ashlyna (Seasonique) brand of this. As far as periods go, I haven't had any bleeding and this is working great for that. However, since I've started this brand I have gained a ton of weight. I am on other medication for depression, but I've been on that for over a year so the birth control definitely isn't helping. I would make sure to take in account weight gain this may cause before deciding on this particular brand."


"64 yr old.  Tried taking 1/2 of 5mg daily for two weeks and had severe acid reflux pain.  Stopped for a week and started taking whole 5mg.  Reflux returned but I found that if I drink a glass of water when I feel burning it goes away. Tums or Rolaids help a bit as well. Back to better than youth condition with erections and BPH must be less because I can sleep all night now. The only problem I am having is whether my wife wants it as much as I do.  Insurance is $95/30 or $150/90."


"This has really helped me. I have had RLS all my life off and on.  The RLS is worse now,  I am 74yrs.  I have been on it almost a year. I believe I may be getting some side effects lately. I am so tired, and can't seem to think straight sometimes. I realize that could be from other things, but I am going to talk to my Doctor on next visit.
It is a God send if you haven't slept for nights."


"I started Belviq 10mg 2x daily yesterday ( May 14th 2016) I have battled my weight since my hysterectomy three years ago. I was 177 last month now I am back at 181. I will check in weekly to update my progress. I am very optimistic about Belviq. I did start a new eating habit of 1200 calories a day , I have found this way easier than counting carbs. I use an app on my phone it keeps up with everything. I am very tired and felt very dizzy yesterday but today is much better. I take vyvanse for my ADD so this may help even out the fatigue."


"Terrible product, would not stay on and did nothing for the pain.  Received more relief from aspirin. Will never purchase again."


"The email I just sent to the makers of Monistat:

The itching and burning I am experiencing right now is excruciating. This is unacceptable. I have used Monistat products many times in the last 15 years, and I have never experienced anything like this torture. That I may have to go to my local emergency room to have my vaginal flushed out is beyond ridiculous. I have never hated a brand as much as I hate Monistat right now. After reading a very long, very recent thread of women who have had similar reactions, I think it is grossly negligent of your company to say that "mild" itchy and burning may occur. The only justice in the world would be for every male executive and product developer in your company to develop crotch rot inside their penis and be forced to use this product. Their female counterparts need to go straight to somewhere bad for pocketing their pay while Monistat victims writhe in pain and discomfort. I  hate you people and I plan to make it my mission to let everyone woman know how disgusting, useless, and harmful your products are. Do not send me any coupons as an "We're sorry our product set your vagina ablaze with the venom of a billion tiny fire ants. Here is a discount for your next hot molten lava therapy kit." Do not  dare."


"I mentioned to my doctor that I had been experiencing frequent breakouts on my chest for that past year so she prescribed this. I've been taking it for almost a month now, and it is great! I've struggled with acne on my body since I was a teen, and this has helped big time! The breakouts on my chest and body have stopped. Mind you, my cystic acne isn't severe (as in overt redness/large, painful cysts) so prehaps that weighs in on the success I've experienced using it for such a short time. Also, I haven't experienced any side effects other than some mild sensitivity to the sun; I seem to be tanning more easily, but I expected that. I think this pill will continue to work for me provided I take it correctly, and protect my skin when outdoors"


"Saxenda has been a miracle drug for me! I started on March 4 at 0.6 dosage weighing in at 208 in my doctors office. Currently taking 1.2 dosage and weighing in at 194. My appetite is totally suppressed, don't look or care for food! Where have you been all my life?! Initial side effects were tiredness and dry mouth. Injections are easy to give and I have no bruising. Will check in again with updates next week!"


"I have taken this for about two months now and it has worked wonders for my anxiety. I also have depression and panic disorder, so it seems to help with both. The only downside I have experienced is decreased sexual interest, but my Wellbutrin has seemed to help with this a bit."


"I've suffered from cyclic vomiting for over 10 years and the only thing that brings me relief(I've suffered for over a week before with the intense vomiting and dibilitating migraines and had to be hospitalized due to dehydration and pain and panic attacks.)My GP actually prescribed me the injectable form and at the first sign I take an injection then usually wait 10 minutes and give myself a second injection and this medication has saved my life. "


"I gave myself an injection of the medicine in my doctor's exam room under the direction of the drug rep following instruction on administering the drug and diet instruction.  No one checked my blood sugar level nor my medical history.  I assumed the injection was safe because my doctor allowed the rep to give it to me.  The next morning I awoke to a panicked husband because I was thrashing about in the bed and he could not waken me. He had given me a peppermint orally and called 911.  I could see his face but could not speak to respond to him.  My feet and legs were cramping but I could not communicate this to him nor my daughter.  The EMTs gave me glucose and I recovered quickly.  My husband and daughter fearfully watched me for weeks."


"Provigil made me lose my appetite at first, I lost about 20 pounds. The energy was great for a few months but it lost it's effectiveness. It only took me four months to reach the maximum dose. "


"I have used NuvaRing for about 3 years.  I LOVE the convenience and the fact that it's a low-dose hormonal contraceptive.  I haven't experienced weight gain, mood fluctuations, or spotting while on it.  However, I've noticed that my sex drive has diminished greatly over the past year or so.  I've had recurrent bacterial vaginosis, which is caused by a change in the balance of the vaginal flora. I've noticed an increase in acne along my jawline around my withdrawal week, and I have a predictable headache during that week as well.  Despite the fact that I'll really miss the convenience of the NuvaRing, I've decided to talk to my gynecologist about trying another contraceptive."


"My test came back positive for chlamydia, that Saturday morning I called to see when my prescription will be in Monday noon. I couldn't make it to cvs Monday so Tuesday morning woke up ...went got my medicine..4 pink pills (250mg) , I have to take it all at once ..so remind you I haven't eaten anything all day . I take the pills 1 by 1 back to back, like 30 mins later upper stomach was hurting so bad and I was thought maybe if I go to sleep the pain will go away. I fell asleep , stomach still hurt but not as bad as it did b4 I went took a nap.  Then my booty started to sweat & had to go to the bathroom..I doodo 2 times ( diarrhea it was) . I felt so much better. But before & after the medication I had no symptoms of the STD . "


"So far, so good. I have been in and out of the program (s), detox & several 28-45 day programs. Since taking this med, I have had ZERO cravings for alcohol. I'm actually amazed and pray that this continues to work. I recommend it to any alcoholic."


"Librium is great. I've been a heavy drinker for years.  I lost my wife to drinking .  I went got librium this does work if u let it trust me"


"I started taking norethindrone (mini pill) and within two days I felt emotionally awkward.  This emotional roller coaster did not come on gently either; it came rolling in and took over my mind, my thoughts, my reactions.  I became angry easily, and without a moments notice my emotions changed like the wind.  There was sadness, crying, depression, emptiness, anger and frustration.  These emotional spells were only 20 mins apart at the most! I was yelling at my children constantly until I realized it was the mini pill that was my problem.  This is a horrible drug  for me and women should know the truth.  After I stopped the pill, my emotional state became stable again.   Wouldn't recommend this to anyone."


"See my previous comment on Testim in October 2009.  Last December I accidentally selected the wrong level of employer health insurance coverage. Result: NO prescription coverage on our plan this year.  With Testim at $330 per month there was no way we could afford it, so I have been off Testim for 6 months.  Boy do I feel it.  I'm tired and want to sleep all the time, melancholy and unmotivated to do anything.  Auxilium was kind enough to give me a discount card for $75 off per month for 6 months.  Going back to the pharmacy today and will pay the $255 difference for the next 6 months until health plan changes again.  Last week's lab showed testosterone at 226, should be around 400 for my age (47). I never realized how important "T" is."


"I've been on Loestrin 24 Fe for about two years, and it's been perfect. My periods have gone away, I usually bleed for a couple of days a month which happens during the last two days of the iron pills. I have no cramping at all, no more mood swings. I used to have VERY heavy periods and this is heaven compared to before. A warning though, you will get brown discharge sometimes if your period isn't as often or heavy. I've been on three different birth control pills and this is the only one where I haven't gained weight, acne, or cramps."


"So I got my Mirena inserted exactly 1hr ago. I was nervous & scared from all the negative reviews I had read. I took 800mg Ibuprofen & 2x Panadiene an hour before.
I lied down. I relaxed and just breathed. They checked my uterus position. Cleaned me with betadine. Put in the speculum. Put topical anesthetic on my cervix.  And I felt a strange cramp feeling deep inside as they inserted the Mirena probe thing. And before I knew it, it was over!

That was it. Done! Way less painful than I was expecting!

Obviously I haven't had it in long enough for other side effects.

But if you're scared about the insertion, be aware that it's not terrible for everyone (I'm sure it is for some). But don't get worried, just relax!"


"I'm 19 years old, have 2 kids. I have been taking Zoloft 25mg since June of 2010 for anxiety, stress, and a little depression. I LOVE it. Before I was on it I was really bad, I could not go outside of my house without having a anxiety attack, couldn't drive or anything!  I tried to get over it by myself but I couldn't do it so I went for it and the first day I took Zoloft I noticed a difference (usually it takes a few weeks) the only side effects that I noticed was that I cannot sleep like I used to. If you are thinking about trying Zoloft make sure its a good idea for you, talk to your doctor and be sure to get as much info as possible and remember we are all different. You may or may not have any side effects, but it doesn't hurt to try. Good luck."


"Was given 30mg cymbalta for pain in hip as well as depression due to chronic pain. It's been 2months, after about 3weeks of many side affects, diarrhea, nausea, headache, the  pharmacy told me to stick with it, they will pass. They have except I've gained about 5lbs. The depression is better, the pain isn't any better, in fact seems to be getting worse. I don't think the cymbalta is making the pain worse, I think my hip is just getting worse. But not happy about the weight gain since I was fighting my weight before I took it. And being heavier can't be good for a bad hip."


"I have had the Nexplanon implant for just over two weeks now, and I absolutely love it! There was no pain while being put in, and wasn't as sore as I thought that I would be. I can't speak for those who have had weight gain, as I am always hungry and put on a bit of weight from thyroid issues. I feel absolutely no different with this implant in, which is great! I have noticed small blemishes on my back and face, but in order to not have children it is very worth it. So far a great decision."


"I have been on 145 MG of Linzess for 5 days now. I technically have idiopathic chronic constipation. But it's caused by a basketball sized hernia. I have to wear an abdominal binder for support and that causes the constipation. Because of the hernia I have no muscular stomach wall. Sternum to pelvic bone and almost 10 inches wide. So on top of constipation, I have little to nothing to push it out with. What a conundrum, huh!

Well when I take a dose I feel the need to go after about 1 1/2 hrs. But....it's minimal. Just enuf to say I'm here but I'm not come g out yet. Hopefully I get some real relief soon and become regular soon as well!"


"itching urinary frequency and thirst way beyond wnl"


"I had my nexplanon inserted in Jan of this year. 2016. It's now June and luckily I get it out 1 week from today and am getting my tubes tied and endometrial ablation(so I don't have period) due to the side effects of this. Like others stated it is effective in not getting you pregnant BUT I too am like a lot of others who have a period constantly with maybe 1-2 days off after about 2 straight weeks then back on. It's inconsistent and I'm always on. That's not the only HORRIBLE part... SECOND, it's super heavy. Like gushing within 30 min of a changing tampon. I have to wear super tampons (which hurt) and a pad and I still end up changing underwear all day! My husband is just as frustrated as I am. I'm moody. Migraines. Backaches. Horrible!"


"I'm starting to have pain in 2 of my fingers on my right hand, and I know that my family history has arthritis, so by taking 800mgs of Advil, it seems to take away the pain. I also found that putting heat on it, helps the pain also."


"this medication was a miracle in my life  but it cost so much I will have to continue to struggle with not eating outside the view of a restroom its a shame that the drug companies charge such a high price for something that truly changes your life when your on fixed income you cant pay 1,150 a month for a medicine no matter how good it is"


"I started taking 20mg 2 months ago and I noticed a difference after the first week. My issues stemmed from overly panicking about everything and crying hysterically whenever anything small went wrong with my relationship. Soon as the medication started to work I developed more independence. I struggled to cry (I could cry... but after crying a bit, my body/brain stopped me from being able to cry hysterically like I used to). I also found that I cared more about myself and not silly arguments I was having with my partner. Since the medication has worked, if we argue, I'm calm and I realise my worth so much more. I would definitely recommend this medication to anyone who panics or cries unnecessarily. I've had no trouble sleeping ever either"


"Not doing much for shingles pain."


"I slept great but I became extremily sad and disconnected. I developed cold like symptoms; sore throat, congestion, dry mouth. I had to stop taking it. I was only prescribed 0.5 mg."


"I have been on this medication for half a year. I was on tamoxifen for 3 and a half years but after I had my ovaries removed was moved onto anastrozole. Since starting my entire body hurts. My bones my hands my joints everything. Have been backwards and forwards to doctors who have not been much help, aside from the the pain emotionally it makes me worry I have cancer somewhere else. Some days I can hardly get out of bed with it. Some days the pain is just an ache other times just sharp pains that can be anywhere. I am preserving though, I figure I would rather have the pain that get cancer back so if this helps at all it will all be worth it. There are days that I am not so positive but only got a year to go... I am 44."


"I had tried all the short term meds; like hydrocodone, oxycodone, ect. Over half my back and neck, the pads in between the vertebra are crushed or not there at at. My Dr. Put me on 60mg MS CONTIN 4 TIMES, on a 24 hour period. With hydrocodone as a break through, short term med. l need not say I rarely touch the hydrocodone. Sometimes I only take 2 or 3 MS CONTIN A DAY. MS CONTIN 60mg is the best long term for me, thank GOD FOR 60mg MORPHINE,, PAIN FREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


"I have been taking Levora for about two months. Here is my experience: the first day I took it I woke up around 3 am because I had a lot of nausea but it got better later. The next two days I had nausea but nothing I couldn't handle. I have lost 10lbs since I started taking the pill, don't get hungry a lot, just normal. Something I have noticed is that I get very emotional one week before my period comes. Sex drive is higher than ever, this might be because I feel more protected and so does my partner, but we still use condoms as a second birth control method. Overall, I don't have any issues with this pill (which I got it from Planned Parenthood) so far. Don't be scared to try it because everyone is different."


"I have been on Ritalin for 20 years.  It has worked great.  While working full time, I took 20mg twice daily.  Now retired and taking only 10 mg each morning, I feel more tired but being retired I function good and can rest anytime I need to."


"Was forced to switch from 4 to 6 Norco every 24 hrs. to Hysingla ER 30. I've gotten massive headaches every day in the past 6 wks. since starting it, far less pain relief, itching and swollen abdomen. My Dr. insists I need to stick with it."


"Well I've had UTIs in the past but I got sick and they prescribed me amoxicillin and I got a side effect of a yeast infection. It's the weekend and thank goodness my aunt is basically a doctor and told me to get it. Now I have a high pain tolerance. This is my first night with monistat 7 and when I first inserted it I had a bit of a burning sensation but it isn't to the point I'm crying honestly it feels amazing the burning sensation I feel like it's working. Like sometimes you just have to woman up and take the pain it's not forever but honestly it feel great!!"


"I bought Dulcolax after being constipated for a week and googling some good medicine. I took one pill and after I took it, I came to this website and read the reviews. I got really scared! But nothing happened except for being really thirsty (drank around 2L of water). Two days after, I took two tablets. I waited for a while and the cramps started: nothing much, it was painful but it wasn't unberable. 15min after the first cramps I was done.
My advice: if you never took it, start with one and see how you feel. And don't get scared by reviews, everyone reacts diffently."


"This is the best cough syrup hands down in the country. It works very, very well and no bad taste. Very pricey, but worth it. Some doctors will not write for it. I think that is poor professionalism for those who refuse. Yes some will seek and/or abuse but the benefit of the doubt should be given for something that works this well. Highly recommended."


"My husband took the sovaldi / ribavirin combination. He is free of hepatitis C now but is having major side effects still. My husband feels worse now then before treatment. He has severe bone and joint pain throughout his body. He has itchy rashy skin, 30  lb weight gain, his thyroid is messed up and now having to take medication for it, chronic fatigue and has to nap daily. He has severe depression, difficulty dealing with people, explosive personality, difficulty concentrating, and more. He is unable to work due to the pain, inability to fill out paperwork or anything due to concentration issues. He has lost interest in things he loved to do. He naps several hours a day. We have been to different doctors with no one able to help..."


"Had very embarrassing sweating problems for the past 5 years and have tried everything from "clinical strength" deodorant to using a special crystal rock-none can even compare at ALL to Hypercare. It has changed my life for the better and now I feel more comfortable at work and wearing new styles. It does burn a bit after applying, but the pain is totally worth the outcome of having dry armpits. Best product I've used. Cheers to Hypercare."


"I have tried many medications for panic disorder. I don't think there was not 1 tablet I have not tried when I was prescribed Xanax. I felt I was given my life back. No horrible side effects of anxiety or panic disorder whatsoever. I can now function without worrying if I went out I would have a panic attack or drop whatever I was doing and go home as I felt like I was dying. My heart would race, my breathing felt like I was taking my last breathe excessive sweating. They all went away. I take 1 mg when needed and have never abused this medication but it has been a life saver for me. It took 30 years to find a tablet that would stop my panic and anxiety disorder and then I tried Xanax from my doctor and I thank her everyday."


"I would rank Otrivin as the best decongestant on the market. I have used the product for years when I have a cold."


"I switched to bunuvail like most people because my insurance stopped paying for my suboxone. I have been on subs for a year. The bunuvail does what it's supposed to as far as keeping me from having cravings. The only bad thing about it in my opinion is I hate how long it takes to dissolve and it tastes terrible to me. But it does what it's made to do"


"I've been on zofran multiple times. For nausea and vomiting due to a digestive disorder I had, and when I was pregnant (24/7 sickness for most of the pregnancy)
For the pregnancy it was okay. It took the edge off. Nothing can ever truly 100% help that level of constant nausea but it kept me from vomiting so I was able to keep down water and food.
For the digestive problem causing sickness it was a miracle. Gives me a headache but we'll worth it. Going from feeling so sick to feeling way better. It works wonders."


"After being on four different types of birth control pills in 3 1/2 yrs and having HORRIBLE side effects ranging from acne, hair falling out, spotting for months, to anxiety, to stroke-like sypmtoms and going to the ER, my OBGYN suggested Generess FE. I LOVE this pill! No side effects at all, other than my breasts have gone from a 34C to a very full 34D! No weight gain (other than in my chest), nausea, headaches, no "foggy" feeling at all. These pills are easy to take, pleasant tasting, and the light, 2-3 day periods are an awesome bonus! I am so happy to have found a birth control pill that works for me and doesn't have nasty side effects. I highly recommend this form of birth control!"


"I took this medicine from the mid 70's until it was banned in the US in 2005. There is no other medicine like it that I have found. A very small dose each day kept me focused and improved my memory and mood. It never affected my appetite nor kept me awake at night and there was none of the emotional roller-coaster effect I find with every other medicine I have tried since."


"I am doing great with this medicine. I have never had any side effects during the 7 months I have been taking this medication. My viral load went from 248,000,000 to only 160. My ALT levels are normal, and hopefully with enough time, Tenofovir can get rid of the virus. However, I am not sure if there is something else going on, such as calcium loss or any unnoticeable side effect.

In conclusion, Viread is a very effective treatment for Chronic HBV with almost no side effects."


"I was given this in an IV (along with Benadryl) in the ER when I had a horrible migraine. The nurse said it would make me tired when she gave it to me at 4 pm. Well I was tired for about 3 min. then the "fun" began. Like the other poster, I started to feel extremely anxious. I kept tossing and turning in the bed because I felt like I wanted to crawl out of my skin. I had to wait for 2 IV bags to finish before they would let me leave. When I got home I was exhausted but at the same time could not sit still to save my life. I had that "wanting to crawl out of my skin" feeling all night as I paced the house exhausted. I was finally able to fall asleep at 5 am. The next day I was really shaky and still a little bit anxious. "


"Week two on the Qsymia. Lost 1.8 lbs this week.  I am still feeling great. Tomorrow I move up to the next level. None of the side effects that I have read about."


"I just tried this medicine because I had continuously heard it worked. I will say I felt alot of energy for the first couple of hours after taking it and I did lose 5 pds the first two days..which was GREAT! but... I experienced terrible side effects..other than the normal dry mouth, some jitters and restlessness... I experienced severe mood swings, irritability and I became angry out of no where. I know side effects are different for everyone.. This was my personal experience.. I Think the medicine could've really helped me with losing weight, but I'm not willing to have the side effects. Good luck to everyone!!"


"Had to discontinue after 3 days due to severe depression symptoms that started with taking the medication."


"I had the shot on October 5th 2016 and I can honestly say that I would never recommend this shot to anyone. I have bled every single day since I received it and it is now December 10th. Talk about about low sex drive when you're constantly bleeding 24/7. Not fun. Not to mention that it has made me feel weak every second of the day. I don't know if it's from bleeding so much or what. It's also caused stage 1 acne on my face. I've never had problems with any kind of acne until receiving this shot. I've gained about 5 pounds since October too. Needless to say I will never be on this birth control again once it wears off. It has made me feel absolutely awful about myself."


"On Lipitor I developed Polyneuropathy in my left foot. Burning and electrical charge sensations. Stopped Lipitor and problem went. Took several weeks before it left my body.Everyone on Statins should be taking Co Enzyme Q10 or Ubiquinol to help prevent muscle pains. I prefer quality of life to one of pain. I am an active healthy 83 yr old with high cholesterol. "


"I have been taking Benazepril, for the last month for reducing hypertension. I have never had problem with high blood pressure in my life. 6' 0' 290 lb. 57 yr. old former football, baseball and soccer player. Coached high school athletics for 32 plus years and now I am taking this medication to control my blood pressure. My side effects have been a roller coaster ride up and down. Fatigue, a dry constant cough, dizziness, light headed and insomnia. See my doctor today, since my introduction to this medication is about over. Hopefully he can change to something better without the side effects. It does control my blood pressure at times but has also lowered my blood pressure to low."


"This is the end of the second month on Latuda and I like it because there aren't any side effects.  I sleep less than I did on the many other medicines I have tried.  I'm finally losing weight (with the other medicines I'd gained 40 lbs).  Overall I have more energy with this medicine and it seems to be very effective.  I take a 40mg dosage."


"I had debilitating migraines for 15 years and went on a small dose of Depakote (125 mg) twenty years ago. It was amazing. Maybe five headaches over all those years. However I have now gone off hormones and having steady weight gain, increased dizziness and some depression. I am uncertain what to do. Our chemistry changes as we age, and the science is not keeping up."


"I am 22 years old and just had my first (beautiful) daughter. I decided to get Mirena when I went in for my 6 week postpartum appointment. I read all the reviews over the product about how horrible it was and how painful the insertion was. I was a little nervous but I knew this was the right birth control for me. I had NO pain what so ever when my OB put it in. It was so easy! I had very light spotting the first hour or so afterwards but none since then! I'm only on day 2 so I'll do a follow up in about 6 months. But as of right now, I'll recommend it!"


"I've tried Cefdinir twice. It helped my infection but in both cases I could not finish the drug because of severe nausea and vomiting. I won't take it again."


"Was taking amoxicillin 875 mg twice a day tablets had Excessive tiredness,Chest pain and Upset stomach. first pill ever that made me so sleepy ever day, I'm 18 so it might work different for other people."


"I woke up two days ago with the entire right side of my face swelled up like a balloon (from back of jaw to mid chin).  Normally I try to tough things out - but this was quite frankly terrifying, so I ended up going to the ER.  I was prescribed clindamycin 300mg every 6 hours, and naproxen twice daily.  The first night (after taking two doses of the clindamycin, 1 of the naproxen) the swelling had increased by about 6%.  However, a further 6 hours would have the swelling down about 50% and the pain nearly non-existant (battled with plain Advil).  This is day three on the medicine and the pain is practically gone (only sore to the touch) - as is the swelling (about down to 20%, possibly even 15%).  No side effects to speak of... yet."


"I have rapid clycling bipolar disorder and was diagnosed five years ago.

After trying, Seroquel, Risperdal and Lithium with failure, a combination of Lamictal and Rivotril works for me.

All the other medicines never work or side effects where making me drowsy.

I got side effects from Lamictal for 2 days when I increased the dose every two weeks until I got to the recommended dose and I take Rivoril to control anxiety every now and then.

Also the anxiety diminished as the Lamictal dose got closer to the full recommended dosage."


"I was diagnosed with severe PTSD, have struggled with eating disorders not specified, and major depression. Two years ago I began taking Pristiq after having tried Lexapro, generic Zoloft, Zoloft, and even Prozac. All of the previous medicines had horrible side effects like weight gain, night sweats, hallucinations, and mood altering capabilities. Pristiq was the first medicine that made me feel "normal again". I got on it, began taking it steadily and not drinking on it. I was relieved of anxiety, weight gain and depression. After my boyfriend found out I was on it, I quit cold turkey due to some inhumane remarks. I DO NOT suggest coming off it suddenly EVER! I went downhill so fast; Pristiq truly is a miracle medicine!"


"Prescribed only by psychiatrists, Was weaned off Zoloft 200 mg, Effexor 225 mg & Amitriptyine 150 mg. Put on Viibryd 40 mg Oct 11. FDA approved Feb '11. Diagnosed w/ significant severe depression, severe anxiety & seasonal affective disorder Feb '01. 4 months after being on Viibryd, my psychotherapist of virtually weekly since Mar 01 said she could not believe the significant difference Viibryd had on me. 3 years & 4 months later, I laugh frequently, my silly personality is back [I'm very young appearing & acting age 61], I enjoy life, I talk much more. Still have bad days, still have bad cries - yet what a difference! A miracle drug! I'm grateful!"


"I'm rating 7 for now. I'll post again when I've been on Belviq for 2 weeks. The first 3 days I had headaches almost all day long. After the third day the headaches stopped. I've noticed that I have more body aches than usual and my energy is a lot less. I think these will level out. My weight when I started was 183.4. After 5 days I am at !83.2. I was on vacation 3 of those days, so I cheated a bit. I believe I would have lost more if I would have been at home. It's hard to diet when you are on vacation. I'm just happy that I lost at all. Belviq does curb my appetite some. Mostly I don't eat as much when I eat and I feel full longer. Yesterday I forgot to eat lunch. I have low sugar and not supposed to skip meals. I am on 2 a daily."


"I'm 56 healthy no other meds, been on proctoform for several year. Only 2 refills a year started out at $101 then $125 today it was $135 dollars insurance want cover it, shame on Blue Cross and Blue Shield. I don't use a full dose, it works pretty quick! If your not careful with the adapter you will waste a half dose. Last year my Gastrointernologist said everything looks good during my Colonoscopy, I received a 10 Year Certificate. Lol"


"Cialis has done the unthinkable for me. I'm an 18 year old who's suffered from BPH for about a year and ED ever since I began becoming sexually active (also about a year). My ED lead me to a depression upon the realization that no matter how much I wanted to, I couldn't be like most guys around me. I couldn't enjoy one of life's most basic pleasures. I couldn't establish that intimate connection with whoever I loved and couldn't satisfy her needs. I felt as if my masculinity was being assaulted everyday as time passed by. This is my first day on this medication (5mg daily) and it's given me the best/firmest erection I can ever remember having; my insecurities coming from ED have disappeared. 10/10 would recommend to any man with ED."


"I really like this medication.I dont really have any side effects on it. Of course with any birth control you feel slightly dizzy and tired when you first start taking it , But after a few weeks that wears off and my body adjusted. I switched from Aviane to this and  Iam extremly satisfied!With Aviane I was depressed , confused easily and even my vision would get blurry and also sex drive was completly shot. With this medication though, I have no side effects and I am really happy :)Especially that I still have a sex drive on it..I have been on it one month."


"My energy is back to where it use to be. I feel normal"


"After being diagnosed with high triglycerides, I took Tricor for approximately 10 years.  It controlled my triglycerides to just within the normal limit.  After my insurance would no longer pay for Tricor, and I switched to the generic fenofibrate, my triglycerides and liver enzymes went back up."


"I have this in my kneews. The only problem I have with it is its hard for me to walk for like 2 1/2 days"


"I'm on my first week of this pill and let me tell you, I'm really considering just to stop taking it. I have been so depressed and emotional the past few days I feel like there is nothing to look forward to in life. Also I spot every day and it yes so annoying because I want to wear my "nice underwear" but can't and I really don't want to wear a pad all the time. I know my body is getting used to it so I will try my best to continue it. Everyone is different and I hope that they are having a lot better experiences with it than I."


"I've taken trazadone for about 6 years after a brain injury caused severe depression and anxiety.  I take 200mg (down from 300 mg) at night and it really helps me sleep.  I've had no unpleasant side effects."


"All positive effects. The only complain about Wellbutrin XL that some people have is a severe and strange anger. I also experienced severe anger the first 2 weeks, but the key is exercising only 20 minutes daily(Running and walking)."


"With in the first 20 minutes of taking this medication,  I started dizzy, disoriented, my mouth had gotten numb . With in 45 minutes I went into full anaphylactic shock and was taken to the er. So unfortunately this isn't for me.  I just had my 3rd colonoscopy and  actually now have severe Crohn's.  Getting ready to start remicaide. I'm nervous but hopefully this will rid the pain and suffering I've been going through."


"I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2008 treating it with Canasa and Protofoam. It reoccurred in 2010 which had to be treated aggressively with prednisone, Asacol HD, proctofoam and Canasa. I did not continue taking the Asacol HD because of the price. My ulcerative colitis reoccurred again in 2011. Currently, I am taking prednisone plus 3 Asacol HD a day and am very satisfied with the medicine. No side effects for me. Once the prednisone is finished it's Asacol HD forever to prevent flare-ups/maintenance. Great medicine."


"I have had intermittent knee pain since I was a teenager.  I am now 44 and a few years ago the knee pain began preventing me from running.  I had my first Synvisc-One injection about a year ago.  After reading about the studies online, which show mixed results, I was not expecting this to work but I thought it was worth a try.  The procedure itself was only mildly uncomfortable.  For about a week after my knee felt more irritated than usual...not terrible though.  About a week later..no pain, lasted 4 months. Then the pain returned.  My doc had me wait 6 months, and I had a 2nd injection.  This one irritated my knee for a few weeks and I was afraid it had made it worse but after 3 weeks...pain free.  Again lasted 4 months."


"I had horrible insomia and this took care of it 98%. It was a life saver."


"I have tried lexapro, Zoloft, calexa, and brintellix. My body does not tolerate meds well. Lexapro was so intense that I took it for only two days and suffered almost every possible side effect. Zoloft caused nausea, weight loss, & I was still having panic attacks. Calexa was good, but I had increased migraines. Now I am trying brintellix, but my anxiety is back. I am crying without a direct reason. I am extremely tired. I also have an upset stomach. I suppose I will have to decide which side effects I can tolerate and just "live" with the nuisance. At this point, I don't want to cry every day. I want to have energy and enjoy life again."


"I'm a truck driver. My doctor said it would be good for me because of the way truck drivers eat. She was right, I have been on it for 4 weeks and I have lost 18 lb. It really works, I have had no side effects."


"My father was given this after a PSA climb following chemo treatment.  Chemo shrank swollen lymph nodes and PSA drops to around 2 but climbed 1 point after Chemo. Taking this medication has made no difference as his PSA. The doctor is switching him to Firmagon as he says it shows aggressive PSA reduction in studies."


"This is the only medicine that tackles my migraines.  They can make me sleepy and stupid, but I'll take that over a migraine pain any day."


"Zantac 75 gives me a 2 hour window with pain relief.  Wish there were a longer acting option."


"I have been on Arthrotec for 23  yrs now  and can not recommend it for everyone but for me it was a life saver. I have RA and went threw many back surgeries (7) to repair degenerated disks. For a year I was in a wheel chair unable to walk and never left the house. MANY doctors told me that I had to resolve myself to living a life of a person who only has limited mobility. My intern a young man right out of med school recommended this. In the last 23 years I have lived a full and VERY active life and could keep up with a 35yr old (im 77 now). It saved my life , I could not live without it, I am active, travel, have sex and do anything I could (almost) when I was 50. For me it is wonder drug..."


"With only 4 doses of 500 mg in 3 days instead of 3 a day, my symptoms got progressively worse. Blurred vision, dizziness, rash, leg pain and swelling, heat sensations in legs, muscle pain, back pain, swelling and pain in stomach, and extreme fatigue. Stopped taking and reported adverse reaction to pharmacy and will tell doctor. Very glad I did not take full dose. Use with caution if you are sensitive to meds."


"I have been using Paroxetine for about 5 years now.  Before starting to take it my hot flashes were very severe, more than 10 a day, to the point of exhaustion. I had night sweats and it was difficult to sleep. My social life just disappeared. I did not want to be around people when I was having my hot flashes. Recently I just ran out of Paroxetine and thought nothing about it. I skipped it for about 3 or 4 days. My hot flashes began to appear very strong, as I had not experienced them in a long, long time. I had forgotten what I was taking Paroxetine for.  I am back on my 20mg a day, and I don't think I will ever forget to take it or the reason why I am taking it. For me, Paroxetine is a life saver!"


"I have been taking Celebrex for a little over 2 years. I was having severe knee pain due to my arthritis. This is the only medication that reduced that pain significantly. My doctor prescribed it when nothing else worked."


"I love this drug, but it is not for the casual or lazy user. I find I must take it at nearly the same time every day or I get side effects. I take it first thing in the morning, and I avoid the sleepies by doing something semi active for a short time. Also, never take this before bed... It can cause sleeplessness and nightmares. I take lanzaprozole at the same time for GERD, so avoid any stomach upsets. The nightmares went away after about 4 weeks from starting. I feel so normal now-- energy level has returned and the blues are gone!"


"My doctor prescribed this birth control to help ease the side effects of endometriosis. She leaned towards this one because Seasonique should mean less periods and less periods should mean less Endometriosis pain. This medication was a totally failed for me. I know different people have different reactions to medications but my experience was not a positive one. I bled off an on very frequently and cramped. I had very bad headaches at times (unusual for me). I was extremely emotional and moody (also unusual for me) and stayed bloated a good majority of the time. I was on it for 4 and a half months and could not take it any more. Also very pricey."


"So I used this for four night. As per dosage I used a super small amount. 3rd application my face burned really bad. Next morning I woke up with a rash on my cheeks. 4th night I avoided the irritated area but woke up the next day with a full face of eczema. I'd caution you, if you have eczema and your doctor still prescribes this (as mine did) be careful! Now I have a full face of steroid cream and my acne is still there☹. It did seem to be making some effect before the whole huge eczema outbreak."


"I love these drops. They really fixed my watery sore eyes. Only $5 with my insurance in Canada. Not sure how much it would be if my insurance didn't cover it but probably not too much. Life saver."


"After lower back surgery I was prescribed  Oxycodone for pain and Diazepam ( Valium) for muscle spasms. The only problem is constipation,something that I had never experienced before. The instructions say that it may take up to 72 hours and this is how long it took to work for me. I was sceptical if it was going to work at all but it did. NO pain or any problems. I went easy the only thing the smell is hard to describe. Haha!!!. I took it twice  a day on the advise of the nurse after the single dose didn't bring me any results the first day. Always ask your doctor for stuff like that even though it is an OTC  remedy . Hope you feel better."


"I was suffering with terrible panic attacks for a few years before the attacks became more and more severe and i was starting to have the panic attacks more often. I hope none of you ever have to go thru even one panic attack. I can't explain fully how they make you feel but I was sure during each time I had one of these attacks that I might actually die. So much starts to happen to my body during an atfack. My heart feels like it is going to literally explode. My breathing becomes hyperventalating. So finally I was prescribed 1mg of klonapin 2 x a day and it has worked wonders in helping stop attacks"


"I have been on Yaz for almost 5 months. Every month my doctor told me to try to wait one more month that my body would adjust. It has caused me to have extreme anxiety, gain weight, and severe depression. My poor boyfriend has had to deal with me for the past couple months and I'm nothing but depressed. But it has been great for pregnancy reasons. I'm only with one person so it's my only birth control and so far so good there."


"I've been taking plegridy for the past 6 months. I used to take Avonex but for me plegridy is much better since I've to take it every 2 weeks and doesn't make me feel sick or with fever."


"I'm 24 yrs old, have severe RA and been talking seroquel XR at 300 milligrams a night for nearly a year.... I was diagnosed bipolar 2 years ago but had so much trouble finding a psychiatrist who was caring enough to listen to me (like a psychologist AND work as a psychiatrist, pill pusher) so my diagnosis went treated and untreated on and off for a while.   BUT since I've been seeing my doctor regularly and she seems to genuinely care I've trusted her judgment with her diagnosis and what she thought would help me most.... besides the weight gain, honestly I feel much more stable & I can deal with the world around me as I see it and haven't had any serious depressive episodes or hypomania. This medication has worked wonders for me."


"I first started 18 mg once a day, no noticeable change. Then increased to 40 mg once a day, at first I seemed to just be calm and zombie like with no change to my ADD. Then, 2-3 weeks later insomnia, paranoia, depression, rage, panic attacks, and severe anxiety consumed me so badly I couldn't leave my house. I feared for my safety and the safety of others so I stopped the drug immediately! I was having thoughts of violence toward others and myself, I am a 28 year old woman and was on no other medications and no other conditions besides ADD. I'd rather just deal with my ADD than all those scary feelings I've never had before."
