"This patch is the best thing to happen to me since I hurt my back. It gives me freedom from living my life based on prescriptions. No more worrying about running out of pills, or waking up in the middle of the night just to take a pill because I start to go through withdrawals. (I am not talking about puking in the toilet, curled up on the floor withdrawals. I mean the awkward feeling and leg twitches that wake me up). I work 12 hour shift work 3 to 4 days a week and the fact is I need more pills on some days. It was a constant worry having to balance my pain, work, life and pill intake so I wouldn%u2019t run out. I still need oxycodone for %u201Cbreak through pain%u201D but I do need to take JUST a few  to feel comfortable. If I have a day off work and only need one pill, I don%u2019t have to take more later. If you have just started taking them, give them some time to kick in, it took a week or so for me to realize it was really working, after two months I realized the overall impact on my life. The freedom from a pill bottle is the main benefit, and I am sure other chronic pain suffers can relate.  I read these blogs all the time, to research and gather information about new medicines my Doctorr wants to try. I have never felt the need to share until this point. Hope it helps somehow."


"An excellent medicine for me for controlling thoughts and anxiety. I use 50mg at 8pm. I can't describe what a difference it has made to my life. I'm happy to take it for the rest of my life. I tried going without it for about a year because I was feeling good, but I will never do that again because of how horrible it was without it.

When I've gone on Luvox, I feel the effect almost overnight. It is really important that you take it at the same time every day and that you follow a good sleeping schedule and not go to bed very late (i.e. after 11pm) for best results.

There is only one downside for me and that is more difficult to reach orgasm and libido is reduced. If it was not for this I would give it a 10."


"Started taking Lyrica about a week ago for anxiety and tremors in my hands. Already notice a big improvement. Tremors are almost gone. Lyrica mellows me out big time. The things that bothered me before no longer bother me. I am a smoker and since starting Lyrica I no longer crave cigarettes. I have had severe back pain due to arthritis and I no longer have back pain! It does however make me hyper. I can live with that, and it makes me hungry, but this stuff works really well for me."


"I am retired, but still read and do many other activities. I was taking MsContin 30mg 3x and Oxycodone IR 10mg 4x per day. I stopped reading and crocheting. I stopped watching my favorite programs. I never knew when I was going to fall asleep. I became hostile, angry, depressed, paranoid and had substantial memory loss. I stopped talking to people and was tired all the time. I didn't connect it to my pain medication because I have numerous chronic illnesses. Last year my doctor suggested a change to Oxycontin, but I was afraid. A month ago I started taking Oxycodone IR 10mg four times a day and Xtampza 18mg three times per day. I wish I had done it sooner. I have eat a good meal with the Xtampza but,I am awake and my real personality is back. My energy is up."


"I've been on the nuvaring for almost 6 months now. But ever since I started using it, when I take it out I never know when my period is going to start. Sometimes it starts after 3 days. but now I'm on my 6th day and I still haven't started. It's like every month I'm worried whether I'm pregnant or not. My fiancee and I both like the ring. It seems effective and definitely helps with my symptoms. But it is very worrisome. and I'm not one to worry a lot..."


"Very good."


"I was on Celexa then Zoloft for post traumatic stress disorder and they left me feeling like I was in the bottom of a well looking up. Mirtazapine makes me feel human again."


"Super good for depression."


"I have been taking this for 3 weeks now and have had a light period the whole time. Everyone else is saying the opposite so I'm wondering why my results are different. Maybe I just need to give it more time for my body to get use to it."


"I have a love/hate relationship with Trulicity. I was taking 1.5 injection weekly for six months. Yes, you'll lose weight because you're nauseated and fatigued. Just the smell of food can make you feel ill. Because of a Dr./insurance situation I didn't take the dosage for two weeks. I began to feel better with appetite returning and having energy back. My fasting numbers are up to 100-130 (80-100 when on dosage), but I hope there is an alternative to having to take Trulicity. It was not a good match for me."


"After having done fine w/alprazolam and citalopram for years, and wanting to slightly up my alprazolam for my GAD, Doc suggested I try cymbalta. I had a *horrible* experience with this drug (have never before experienced such bad side effects). I can't recall the dosage, but it was a sample, so I don't believe it was anything too high. First day I took it, I felt absolutely wiped out, like all the energy had been sucked from my body. I could barely make it to the bed to lay down. A few hours later the muscles in my jaw began spasm-ing involuntarily, I could feel them tightening and clamping my teeth together, then slightly relaxing. I didn't take the next pill, and it took a day for side effects to go away. I'll never take it again."


"Dealt with IBS-D for over 40 years, Imodium helped but still had anxiety about going anywhere. Started taking Virbezi about 6 weeks ago. Having very good results...except for fatigue and major gas, I could resurrect the Hindenburg! Finally got Blue Cross to pay for it, really expensive. After reading some of these reviews I am hoping that I am one of the lucky ones and it continues to work. I have a life again!!!!!"


"I was sure I was ovulating when the condom broke, but I took Plan B 9 hours after the incident. I read on the Planned Parenthood website that if you are ovulating or have already ovulated, Plan B has no effect in preventing pregnancy. Luckily, I got my period on the exact day that I was supposed to. I rated 10 stars because if taken before ovulation, it is very effective as it mainly works by delaying ovulation. However, during or after ovulation it's not clear that it works to prevent pregnancy. I didn't get pregnant, and it may be because Plan B did it's job in preventing implantation, or it could have been because I was not actually ovulating. It is difficult to tell when exactly you are ovulating. Don't freak out just yet. Good luck!"


"I have been on Nucynta and Nucynta ER for 1 year and finally after 30 years of chronic pain from 3 different chronic illnesses I have almost complete relief. I do not suffer any side effects that I am aware of. In the first couple of months I did have some fatigue but my body adjusted and I am able to use this medicine during the day without drowsiness."


"Been on most antidepressants and ended up with mirtazapine, which although very good does make you really fat.  Cut dose right down but then the old feeling of depression, anxiety, suicidal feelings came back.  My psych doc. put me on Cymbalta (after a roundabout of others that I couldn't cope with) and Cymbalta works. 30mg is lovely but 60mg way to strong for me. Blurred vision, restlessness, anxiety, insomnia, etc., etc.  So went back to 30mg and now feel great, I do take half a mirtazapine at night to help me sleep and don't know if its the combination or just the Cymbalta (as half a mirtazapine is a very tiny dose) working.  It has taken about 3 months for it to fully kick in but now feel hopefully optimistic and more at ease about life."


"I am a 20 y/o girl. I was on 54 mg of Concerta once a day. This drug was the worst thing thats ever happened to me. It did help my grades but I felt most of it was placebo and the fact that the side effects were so horrible I wanted to focus on work to distract myself. It made my anxiety unbearable and constant. My heart beat in my head. My whole left arm and pinky would feel numb and prickly. I knew I was hungry but could not eat and was disgusted by food. I fell into a horrible depression and felt just overwhelming darkness. The pros was that it made sitting in long classes and retaining information much easier. I felt excited about learning and getting work done. Overall it helped with school but the side effects are not worth it."


"Takes few days and then it helps with congestion and stuffiness short term.  I do not stay on it past 1-2 weeks due to side effects, prone to infection, dizziness, etc. Overall a good med for me."


"The drug works for 3-5 hours for me. I only use it when I wake in the middle of the night and can't fall back to sleep. As a senior citizen, the 5 mg works well enough."


"I am 35 years old and my blood pressure which was an average of 150/90 was giving me headaches. My doctor prescribed me 5mg of Bystolic daily and my blood pressure dropped to 120/80 - perfect. Some side effects though. I experienced initial tiredness which waned and decreased sex drive. I haven't gained any weight but it really seems hard to lose any which I've been trying to do for a while. I think this is due in part because it's hard to keep your heart rate elevated when exercising. Overall a good drug - gets the job done."


"I didn't feel this drug did much of anything to lessen my depression. It did give me night and day sweats, dry mouth and a foggy mental state that offer made clear thinking more difficult"


"I took Next Choice about 2-3 hours after unprotected sex. About 5 days later, I had a very, very light period that lasted for about 3 days. I was so scared it was implantation bleeding. Two weeks after, I had 2 days of a super light period again, then 3 days of an actual period. Not pregnant!"


"I was diagnosed with Diverticulitis a few months back and ended up having to return to the doctor within a month of diagnosis for the same thing. He seemed baffled as he said I shouldn't have had another attack so soon! I had been having some major anxiety so I asked him if this could be the cause and he agreed. He decided to put me on 10 mg of Lexapro and to be honest I wasn't expecting much. I had been on Zoloft, Paxil and Cymbalta with almost no difference. I took the first pill before going to bed that night and woke up in the morning ready to run a marathon! I finally feel happy, hopeful, almost no anxiety, I can speak my mind now when before I was too scared etc., etc.... LOVE IT!"


"Works Well"


"I have suffered depressive illness/anxiety since my teens; parents had depression and bipolar, genetically very prone, battled feeling 'not quite right' for 20 yrs. It took a suicidal day last November for me to seek 'help' via specialist who knows this area. Was given Lexapro, balanced my highs or lows but it took 3 month to feel the effects, returned to boxing 2 x week, cut down drinking and eating. I've lost 5kgs and another 7kg be back to my perfect weight. One day at a time and manage it the best you can."


"I've only been taking Buspar for a few days, and I haven't noticed any anxiety.  But the side effects make me sick as, but are temporarily, and I think mine are magnified because I'm on so many medications.  So far it works and is also used for sex dysfunction, which has helped my sex life with my partner.  To each their own.  Definitely do not drive on this medication."


"Have used this product several times. I use to get motion sickness while on even a row boat.. this stuff really did the trick for me"


"Paxil worked very well for my anxiety. I used to not be able to function in a crowded room but now I am fine. I find that it also gives me sturdy thick erections which I never used to have."


"I was started on 25mg Zoloft about 3 1/2 weeks ago for long term anxiety and depression, and it has made a huge positive impact on my life already.  For the first two weeks my side effects included decreased appetite, hands shaking, head fogginess, insomnia, headaches, nausea, dizziness, and clenching/grinding my teeth when I slept.  Except for the decreased appetite (which I am happy about), all of the side effects are gone and it was well worth waiting them out, I promise.  I did have to play around with the time I took it and found that morning works the best for me.  Not having those crippling feelings of anxiety and not being so miserable all the time - I should have done this a long time ago.  I'm finally getting my life back."


"I've been on Chateal for two years. I was very nervous to start birth control but I'm glad they started me on this one. I got it from my local PP. The things I noticed: I have very thick hair and I feel like my hair has thinned out since starting it. My boobs felt slightly bigger/more sensitive after starting it. It also causes my appetite to fluctuate a lot. I actually lost weight on this in the first year, to the point where I was underweight, and recently I have gained some back. Chateal has been awesome. I switched insurance half way through and both cover it. Everyone is different but this one has worked well for me. No pregnancy!"


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"Bigger than expected pill.  I prefer a smaller prenatal vitamin.  I am not sure if I like the egg product."


"I had this for the first time on the 26/11/17 what can I say  - the amount you have to drink in the time scale is a lot.
I chilled it and used a straw to manage the first liter no problem, a bit gagging, is not so much the taste but the consistency of it. The 2nd lot: well I manage 1 glass then the next glass I vomited it up.
I started at 5pm and was still pooping at 6am (I got up at 2am 5am and 6am was only the one movement each time)
I went for colonoscopy I hoped I had prep enough  and I had thank goodness.
I had no cramps or bloating with it."


"Wonderful drug!  Now available in Generic so doesn't cost an arm and a leg.  I have severe disc and arthritic problems in my neck with severe muscle spasms and this really helps. At first when starting this medication it can cause a serious dopey feeling but this can be eased by gradually increasing the dose until benefits are produced.  I am on 4mg 3 x a day and allowed to use 8 mg 3 x a day if my muscles are extremely spastic.  Do not drive when taking this medication until you understand its effects."


"Lortab works fine at first then you develop a tolerance to it and have to be put on something stronger. I have degenerative bone and disc disease in my spine so I'll have to be on pain medicines the rest of my life."


"It did help for pain, but I had to discontinue use due to many side effects."


"Felt like the headache was squeezed out of my head."


"I had started bc w/o my parents knowing & went to planned parent hood to request bc. I get my prescript. For $9. I've been on it for almost a month now. I'm halfway through the third week, the next week is the white pills. I had started the birth control OFF my period, I started on 10/18 at 7 pm. My period usually comes around the 30th I have not had a period yet. I had VERY LITTLE break through bleeding for a short week, and little cramps the first night. The next day I was very tired and hungry. After that day everything was normal except for bloating which was fine.My boobs have gotten slightly bigger & I've gained 5 lbs, which I wanted to gain weight.also I've been wanting sex a bit more, if some ladies are worried about their libido."


"I have struggled with athletes foot and toe nail fungus since I was a young child. I am 40 years old now and I started a 90 day treatment of Lamisil tablets. My experience was life changing. I didn't have ANY bad side effects. I had GOOD effects of clearing up that nightmare that I suffered from for most of my life. I never wore sandals or walked around barefoot because I was embarrassed. Now my feet look normal.  I started seeing results and feeling better within a month. The itching and burning went away. The second month I could see my nails changing color from black to clear. I started taking my pills at the end of October 2012 and finished in the middle of January 2013, it is April now, and my nails are completely clear."


"Made me very sick, headache, constant diarrhea, very bad head and chest cold, lower right leg started to swell."


"This week make it my third week on the pill, I haven't seen any result. I'm also on a 1200 calories a day and run 5 miles 3x a wk. Ever since I started the medicine, I'm feeling very sad and depressed I'm not sure if that comes from the pills. I'm ready to stop because I rather be happy instead of taking the pills with no result and   side Effects. I wasted $$. Congrats!!! to the ones that it works for."


"I've tried many times to quit all without success. I have (had) a very serious addiction problem at three packs a day. I've been taking champix for about 4 weeks now and am down to less than ten cigarettes a day. But the big news is the great reduction in cravings. Cravings were always the worst part of quitting but with champix the cravings have declined to just above nil. I'm glad I started champix as I can now see a realistic end to smoking. I recommend champix to the heavily addicted like me.

Jack."


"I chose Paragard because I had rough side effects from hormonal birth control. I was also not sure if I wanted more children, probably not due to my age and health problems I had with my last pregnancy, but just in case I changed my mind I didn't want to choose something permanent. Imagine my surprise when I became pregnant on Paragard. An ultrasound showed it was correctly positioned. I was relying on Paragard to be as effective as advertised. Now, looking online, I see that thousands of other women have had this happen as well."


"I been taking this medicine for a year. It has helped to bring my blood pressure down. "


"Amazing I can sleep no anxiety and much happier."


"Have Osteoarthritis, stenosis and poor lumbar discs. Medical retirement with Back at age 59, am 75 and have been on 75 or 100 mcg/hr Fentanyl Patches for 15 years. I take Hydrocodone/Acet. 10/325 mg. 2-4 times most days to supplement my up or down daily pain ride. Mylan patches best to adher and change EVERY 48 hrs. as prescribed. Take 2 to 4  1 mg. Alprazolams per day for anxiety.  This recipe has given me a solid life for years. Only side effects  ever have been a 'whoever' would fail to refill Alprazs. on time, then anxiety withdrawals are rough. Bottom Line: Fetanyl Patches are Life Savers."


"I asked for this medication on advice from a person who said it worked great. I have Xanax for anxiety from perimenopause and didn't want to rely on a benzo when things get really bad. I only take Xanax very rarely but thought if there was something non addictive that would help, that would be great. I regret taking the first 10mg pill. I felt like I was having my heart racing in my sleep after taking the pill at bedtime. I woke groggy and out of it. It is now the next day and I am a walking zombie with anxiety and dizziness. I feel like I can't function and when I tried to nap, I could feel my heart racing again. I feel so out of it and just found out that this will not leave my system for up to 40 hours. I feel disconnected and blah."


"I've had horrible periods since high school. I remember in high school when the bell rang I just sat there until the entire class left then walked to the office to get a ride home. When I got up, it was a puddle of blood. Literally a puddle.  I'm 35 and would sleep with a towel under me plus an overnight pad because I would always overflow. I've started getting really bad clots and I am unable to take birth control pills. Bad bruises, weak, anemic.. You know the drill.  So doctor suggested this... I'm on day 3 and it is a total game changer. I did a spin class this morning (usually day 2 of HEAVY flow) with a tampon and panty liner. I never ever thought this was possible. Small headache, totally worth it."


"I actually came across this medication following a Google search. Asked my doctor who didn't really know about it. After 1 week, he called in a prescription for me. This is great! No side effects and in 2 weeks, lost 9 lbs! I told my friends about this. My goal is 40 lbs. Watch out next summer. Hard body coming!"


"Well, it's all hasn't been fun and games when it comes to my acne. I'm a light skinned African dude of 25 and I have had acne since I was 17. Pretty long time huh? I know. It all started as some pretty rash that got me obsessed. I've used pretty much everything except surgery; and I never went to a physician for it. All over-the-counter topical application and I touch my face pretty much all the time. It's not easy when a handsome guy gets his confidence slowly stripped everyday for almost a decade. Lol

It got worse this past month (like my pimples joined up x-men and became mutants!) and I was forced to see a physician. Retin-A to the rescue. Retin-A and Doxycycline capsules. Just 2 weeks in and I can tell I've found the cure for acne!"


"I have been on amitiza on and off for 5 years if not more. With a combination of IBS and opaids from pain management. I realize today that I am so much better without amitiza.  As of today i am stopping this. Amitiza causes my BM to be sooooo hard that I might only go once or twice a week if i am lycky. And get just a little balls.  Maybe once a month diarrhea. The worst part is when I do go a larger amount it is so hard I can break the toilet. More od a baseball. Sorry TMI ...At least when I am not taking it I still go once or twice a week but it's not so hard and little balls. I do notice Alli  works for me my insurance won't pay for it but its only $60. But my copay for amitiza is 30. Now I am stuck with a 3 month supply"


"Works great for me with anxiety and stress. I'm at 100mg daily. I have been taken it for about 6 months. Also helps with anger issues."


"I took Clomid for the first time days 5-9 and the side effects are the worst! I already have heart problems so I thought that's what was going on. I went to the ER for severe chest pain and all tests were negative. After researching I realize it's bad indigestion. I also have Fibro and am used to back pain but Clomid gave me the worst back pain I've ever felt along with nausea and migraines. I have to lay down or walk hunched over so relieve some pain. I've also been extremely fatigued.I had to nap 3 times a day for a few hours and still feel exhausted. My uterus feels so sore and heavy. I'm on cycle day 15 and still showing a flashing (OPK) Ovulation Predictor Kit.  Hopefully tomorrow is peak day so I can get pregnant already!"


"I took a 145mcg dose yestersay morning at 8am on an empty stomach and ate 1 hour later. I still haven't gone to the bathroom, nothin at all but stomach gurgles. I just had a ct scan on Wednesday and X-ray showing I was completely backed up. I tried an enema at home Thursday and miralax and probiotics and that didn't help either. I am on opiod medication and have been experiencing chronic constipation for years now. My husband however experiences temporary constipation and took the same medication yesterday morning and within hours he had diarrhea and his stomach has been hurting allday. I was worried about starting this after reading all the bad reviews especially about weight gain. I can see it works different for everyone. I will try again"


"I did lose weight and had tons of energy.  The side effects are not worth it though.  I now have a heart murmur and Raynaud's disease.  Yes these are side effects of this medication."


"I have been on Jakafi now for 7 months.  I have had major weight gain (25lbs) and migraine headaches every day.  Before I started my counts were over a million and they are only down to 800,000.  So for me this isn't working.  The side effects and losing days to headaches are not worth taking it."


"UPDATE : Starting weight 221.6lbs on April 8th, 5ft 3" tall, 47yr old female, this morning I am 188lbs. That's 33.6lbs down basically without exercising. Down from a size 18 shorts to a 14.  I have a few clothes that once were too tight and my gut hung over that fit me now. And shorts I bought 4 years ago that I can pull off without unbuttoning. I have jeans from 2004 that I kept that were sentimental and I can almost button without a muffin top.  This is why I push on....this is something I never thought I would feel, I look in the mirror and sorta see the old me coming back....its working for me and my husband can tell you my self confidence is better than its been in a LONG time!"


"Im 15 & I had my first YI about a month ago, I used Monistat 3 day pill thing & it worked great! There was a lot of discharge but besides that, it was great! I got my 2nd YI & got the Monistat 3 day cream & I used it & it burns so bad! I was so close to getting back in the bath so wash it all out. I went online first to see if it was normal & I saw that it was.. It still burns but not as much, I pray it isnt like that for the 2nd day. I was almost in tears!"


"the only drug that works with me in my chronic sinusitis"


"It really worked very well. I used to have reflux disease, I feel better now. I took Ranitidine 150 mg daily some times twice a day. "


"On Dec 2015 I had excruciating cutting burning vaginal pain. Along with frequent urgency to go urinate , all the test under the sun was done but all came back negative and after 2 months of tests my urogynocologist said its volvodaneia. He prescribed Amitriptyline .
I was very skeptical about this. .then finally I started with 5 mg for my body to get used it.Then 1 week after I did 10 mg...and after 10 days I went to 15 mg...that did the trick no more paib but then I amped it to 20 mg.
I never thought I will be able to have normal life again but this med saved my life.In this 6 weeks of taking Amitriptyline I had few days of pain of level 2 .but rest days so far ok.no pain !!
I have been told to take this med for3months."


"Definitely a good product."


"I've been on many birth controls before, but Apri is the most dependable. The only downfall is major mood swings and weight gain. Other than that, it's a great form of birth control for the price."


"This has been the worst for my girlfriend.... she constantly gets mood swings and her libido has dramatically decreased to the point where I kiss her sets her unease. I would recommend not getting this treatment unless you want to have depression almost all the time and gain mood swings. Seriously, I'm afraid that it's doing more harm then good to her body. Sure, her period stopped after 3 months, which I can see as a plus for most, but to have her with little to no energy it's not worth it."


"I've been on this patch for a short period of time, however, I can say it works fast !!! On the 2nd day using this product, my flashes and night sweats were less severe !  I did experience nervousness on the 1st day, it lasted just a  few hours hours then went away. So far, so good."


"Works better after taking it a couple of days"


"I've had it since January of this year. I love it. I've only spotted once. The only thing I don't like is that I gained 10lbs. Other than that, it's convenient for my busy life."


"I'm 16 and have acne for about 5 years, I was prescribed duac about 5 months ago, it worked about 2 months but has stopped working now, the doctor said that I should see immediate improvement I did but it eventually did nothing for my skin, I still have acne"


"I have been dealing with Psoriasis since I was 17. I have tried everything under the sun (Including the Sun lol) Nothing seemed to work. The creams and ointments eased the intense itchiness but never cleared my skin. Finally my DR gave me injections. I have tried two other types before Taltz. One seemed to work but my liver enzymes went through the roof. Another cleared all the scales and flakes but my skin was always red. Then my DR said Taltz. I said ok.  Taltz is the BEST. I didn't have any side affects outside of the welt at the injection site which only lasted a few days. My skin was completely clear in a few days - weeks. I loved my skin again. It had been so long since I could say that.  With the discount card my co-pay was $5.00."


"I started taking this after I had been on tri-sprintec for several years. I had some pretty serious mood swings with that birth control, and thankfully did not experience that with sprintec. I was on it for three months, and in that time I gained almost 10 pounds. I went up an entire cup size in that time, and finally got sick of dealing with the weight gain. It didn't really alleviate menstrual cramps either, but did help me with treating acne. Overall, if you don't experience weight gain, it's probably fine for you, but didn't work for me."


"I was prescribed tramadol for chronic lower back pain, it makes me drowsy but the pain is still there. I can't really describe it, it's like a sensation of knowing the pain is there but not letting it affect you."


"Oligoastrocytoma WHO ll: It stopped the growth of the brain tumor that I've been fighting for ten years.  I'm one of the lucky ones. Keep fighting."


"I have had psoriasis since I was six years old (I am 22 now). My worst area has always been my scalp and elbows, with it extending to my torso, back, and legs. Recently I have been under stress and I'm overweight so my psoriasis is the worse it has ever been. My dermatologist decided on otezla. They warn you about the most common side effects: nausea and diarrhea. I experienced these symptoms within two days of starting the medication. I will say right away it started working, clearing my scalp first (which is the first area it tends to start working on). Now I am somebody who struggles with having diarrhea and can't deal with it emotionally. I had to stop the drug after only three weeks, which sucked because it was working amazing for me."


"After having unprotected sex with two different men in one night (I do NOT recommend), I figured something bad would happen. After finally going to the doctor bc my vag felt inflamed and swollen, I was diagnosed with chlamydia and given azithromycin. After taking it on an empty stomach (again, would not recommend) about an hour late my stomach was hurting so bad. I also got hot flashes and my pulse elevated, but I was graced with no diarrhea unlike others on here. I decided I was not gonna deal with it anymore and forced myself to sleep and woke up feeling so much better in the morning. Hopefully this did the trick and I'm cleared of the infection. NEVER having sex again."


"I had morning sickness since I was 8 weeks pregnant. Ichad my first ObGyn visit at 12 weeks, in 4 Weeks I lost 11lbs. :-( I felt miserable. I did not know there was medication to prevent Nausea... My doctor prescribed Diclegis... I started 2 pills before sleeping, 1 pill in the morning, and another in the afternoon. It was magic and amazing. When I reached 20 weeks, i started feeling sick again, Nauseous and Dizziness, and Shaking. I thought maybe I was doing overdose, I went down to 1 pill at night to sleep and I feel GREAT ALL DAY!!! Amazing... And I am currently 26 weeks and I still use it because I skipped one day and I felt horrible. Tip: if you skip or miss a pill at night, take one at anytime and you will feel better. I love Diclegis"


"I'm on this medication I get 200 mg at night and 100 mg during day the one at night doesn't help me sleep still awake at 2 am the morning dose makes me tired so not sure if helps with insomnia"

"With the recent changes to pain medication guidelines I was reduced from opiates and given Lyrica to try. RUN, don't walk away from this medicine. My memory got fuzzy, I stumbled and fell in injurying my back, it keeps new synapsis from forming in your brain (I.e. brain damage long term), I have rashes, etc.  Most importantly, I started having thoughts of death. All of this on 50mg at bed time.

In a few years I'm sure TV lawyers will be soliciting patients for lawsuits.  This is a strong chemical to introduce into a already weak person's system."


"Immediate itching and burning after applying.  Developed redness and several red bumps and whiteheads.  Very painful."


"For 9 months I struggled with anxiety, depression, foggy brain, fatigue, low sex drive, loss of morning erections, and general feeling of malaise. Doctor tested my T and came back at 251. I was referred to an endocrinologist and he retested and came back at 189. Prescribed Androgel 1.62% on a 2 month trail and it has been amazing. Within 4-5 days I noticed that the "crashes" that I used to experience  daily for 4-5 hours now only lasted 30-60 minutes. After 4 weeks of treatment, the Daily crashes have disappeared. My sex drive is coming back, still not where it should be but I'm optimistic that I'll get there. I have a follow up appointment in a month and I'm looking forward to finding out my levels!"


"Makes me feel very unwell."


"I am 18 and have had several yeast infections before. I first used this product a couple years ago. I, too, had the same horrible side affects from this drug you are reading about right now. I took it before I went to bed, and at around 3am, I swore I would never willingly insert that evil egg in my body again. I cannot describe the pain. However, my symptoms were practically cured the next morning. In a few days, my YI was completely cured. Several months later, I got another YI. Not remembering the promise I made to myself about the evil egg, I purchased more monistat 1. Surprisingly, I did not experience the horrible side affects again. I have used another time and no side effects. I recommend for women who have frequent YIs."


"I have had Skyla for a month now. Personal experience is that I have random period-like cramps that only last a few minutes or so and occasional spotting but nothing too serious. Period has always been regular like clockwork. I got Skyla inserted while menstruating. Next period came right on time and my normal 4 days but was so light I didn't even have to wear a tampon, just a thin pantyliner. Had some pretty ridiculous mood swings for the first week or two while adjusting to the hormones but it seems to have leveled out now. Recently, dry skin on my face and my boobs are fuller and ache sometimes because of it I guess. Sex drive through the roof. Hope this helps balance out the horror story reviews! Minor side effects but worth it overall."


"Okay: If you've been on birth control (pill version) and you've skipped your placebos and have had no period for a while + getting an IUD seems too invasive/ the possible risks are not worth it- this is the method for you. I've been on birth control for many years and I decided to switch methods because of the political climate. I was super worried that I'd spot on Nexplanon because that seemed to be the main problem with this method. However, I believe that because I had already been skipping my placebo pills, Nexplanon didn't cause any spotting of any kind. Honestly, besides mild soreness for the first 5-7 days (I mean you're having a rod inserted in your arm), it's been absolutely fantastic. Now I don't have to remind myself of the pill."


"On my first day taking Lyrica, it was incredible - I was patient, calm, and chilled out. I could deal with stress better than I have been able to in my entire life. However, I quickly grew a tolerance, and I spent weeks chasing that feeling by upping my dose. When I finally reached 250mg, I was an absolute zombie. I was taking much longer to finish my sentences and I felt like I was constantly in a fog. My depression has reached an all-time high and my anxiety is still present - I'm just not having panic attacks any more. The past few months have been particularly bad and I just don't think it's worth being on any more. I think I'm especially disappointed now because it started out so well and I'm significantly worse off now."


"I've had the Nexplanon implant since the beginning of February, after having my first child by c section in November. In the first week or so of having it I was having terrible mood swings, thoughts of suicide and almost broke up with my bf several times over basically nothing, I still have not stopped bleeding since I got this thing in my arm and its June now. The blood doesn't even look like blood most of the time it's brown and clumpy or sometimes even black, every once in a while it will be very bright red. I called and talked to my doctor about getting this thing taken out after one particularly bad depressive episode a few months ago and was encouraged to wait it out and see if it got better. on the bright side, I'm not pregnant."


"Four weeks on Victoza, in addition to my insulin pump. Taking the full 1.8 a day. My insulin use has decreased and I've lost weight. Excellent compliment to insulin. Symlin quit working after about two years."


"I had to write a review to sing the highest praises for this medication! I am 48 years old and have PCOS. My current menstrual cycle started 14 days ago....as a normal cycle then increasingly became heavier and heavier. Just like the other women have posted, I was soaking tampons and pads within two hours with no end in sight. I just finished my third dose and I had my last sanitary napkin on for almost four hours before I needed to change it and it still was not full!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can face the world again and I am starting to feel like myself!!!!!! I am scheduled for an ultrasound but I will deal with those results when the time comes....for now, I am thankful for Lysteda!"


"Been using amlodipine for a month. Has not really lowered blood pressure. I'm generally in good health except for elevated blood pressure. Amlodipine has had many bad side effects. Fatigue during workouts, muscle weakness, insomnia, and complete loss of libido. Wife very disappointed. Going back to my doctor this week for different medication."


"I have never heard of this product until yesterday.I get terrible nausea with my headaches. I am on narcotics for the headaches, but when the nausea comes on, I am unable to take my headache medicine, because I just usually feel even more nauseas, because of this are times, I have to go to the ER to help with the pain and nausea. My husband had to work, and I just couldn't think about going to the ER and sitting in the waiting room for hours.I tried to get my doctors to call me something in, but again, I needed something now not later.My husband, brought this home, along with some tums and a product called nauzene.I was very impressed with the Emetrol.I am happy to say that, I did not throw up, and I still have half a bottle of this left.."


"My only negative issue with this product has been its potential for dependency at bedtime."


"Helped tremendously with headaches but I am wary of how much Tylenol is in it. My doctor said no more then 4 a day. I take one because I worry about liver damage. It really takes my headache away but when it returns, I won't take another one. ."


"I began taking Pristiq 50 mg approximately 6 months ago and as reported by the numerous previous posts, I also experienced exceptionally rapid weight loss.  The first week I suffered from nausea, to the point that I did not think I could suffer through it; but my physician said I should continue taking it.  I also experienced extreme dizziness, but only for the first few days.  I have to admit those symptoms do not outweigh the benefits.  Like many others, I am much more clear headed and focused. I have noticed those negative side effects will return almost overnight if I miss a dose, so my body helps to remind me. I do not want to forget."


"I have been taking Trinessa for 6+ years now. It's an effective contraceptive with many added benefits. I use it for contraception & abnormal/painful cycles. There was only one BIG problem for me with it. Here are the ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES for me: ~PROS:~ (#1) It completely REGULATED my cycles. I can accurately estimate on which days it will start and end, and the bleeding is FAR less (in quantity and frequency). (#2) It SHORTENED my cycles. They only last about 4-5 days now, and is much more easily managed. (#3) It REDUCED the pain! It still hurts, but it no longer interferes with daily life. (#4) It is FREE with insurance! ~CONS:~ (#1) I actually VOMITED every day for the 1st YEAR. That really disrupted my life, but it's FINE now!"


"I got the Implanon which is the generic version at womankind. I bled for about the first 3months irregularly, now I spot rarely every now and then.
Now I am thinking about getting it out. I am depressed, severe mood swings,  and severe headaches sometimes to point where my head throbs I cry. It is affecting my work and school. I don't want to take it out because I do not want another baby but my partner insist that I do and try a different method."


"Euflexxa was a waste of my time. I had 3 injections, one every week. I did have some relief from the pain but I still have pain some days worse than others. It's been 3 months now and I have to do something else. I had the synvisc about 8 years ago and that worked good till now its starting to hurt so I am now in a pickle with both knees. Problem with synvisc is that is horrific pain going in. But it only takes a short time. I would rather endure that pain and have it help and eventually be pain free than this Euflexxa that only little relief.  I still have to take over the counter pain meds to my disappointment. But I try to take them every other day."


"After taking this medicine for a few months I still get the occasional acne and it lowered my endurance 5 minutes into the gym I was already short on breath I could barely do any reps definitely hard to work out while taking this medicine."


"Just had an EDG a few hours ago. I was terrified. Was literally panicking by the time they wheeled me to the OR. Seeing all the gadgets and cameras in the OR only worsened my anxiety. They put oxygen on me. Then the RN gave me a medication to relax me as well as the propafol. No more than 5 seconds passed and I began to feel loopy. They asked me to roll on my side and that's the last thing I remember before waking up in recovery. I was a little tired but was able to communicate as well as stand on my own two feet and walk. Although, I was a little wobbly. I'm still drowsy, but have yet to fall back asleep. Anyone that has heightened anxiety before any procedure should consult and request propafol."


"Terrible drug took shot for 5 month  heartburn, nausea vomiting continue. Quit taking  3 weeks ago. Feel terrible"


"This drug has not help at all."


"I've been usin this pill since around November 2015. My experience with this birth control has been very positive. I've been having unprotected sex and never have gotten pregnant. My boyfriend came in me once recently and I've been experiencing nausea lately, I'm not sure what it's from or if it's a sign of pregnancy..but I do trust that this pill will protect me from getting pregnant. The nausea could be from the pill itself, which is what other people have been experiencing while on this pill. I know exactly the date when my period comes now which is nice. Side effects for me could be depression and nausea. I went on anti depressants a couple months after taking this pill. Acne is gone!!!"


"Librium is AWESOME for my alcohol withdrawals. Maybe everyone is different but it works real good for me. I'm up doing housework when I should be shaking on the couch and not being able to do anything."


"I couldn't imagine life without gabapentin its truly a life saver it helped with my neuropathy and reduced the pain by 90% lyrica and cymbalta didn't have a good affect on me as gabapentin did"


"Max dose needed for effect but working great . A bit of weight gain but tolerable . Helps me sleep better"


"My first 2 chemo treatments with other nausea meds were awful, nothing stopped vomiting. I was thinking of quistting chemo because I was so sick. With Varubi no problems and I was able to do more treatments. I highly recommend Varubi."


"Ok so I'm a 19y/o female and, After a month and a half of super minor side effects (groggy, dizzy, no appetite) cymbalta started to work really well, however about a couple months ago I began experiencing mood swings more and more gradually. Now I have days where I'm in a completely crabby mood  (I don't want to do anything), or I'm in an ok mood (I'll go out and try to do a couple of things to build confidence), or I'm totally pissy and mean all day and I cry and flip out. (like literally cry and like threaten to leave him for nothing) My poor boyfriend who doesn't even understand the medicine (who tries to because he respects my choices) I plan on changing my medicine my next doctor's visit cuz the mood swings are making it hard to get a job."


"I have severe atopic dermatitis and dupixent has changed that significantly for me. I've been taking it for about 5 weeks now and I felt relief of my itching within days of taking the 1st dose. My skin has started to clear and my confidence is starting to improve. I am super thankful for this drug."


"I did have some significant side effects for the first two weeks but I took only one pill a day for that time to get used to it. I am up to two a day now (recommended dose) and the side effects are gone except for slight nausea once in a while.  I have lost 6 lbs in about 3 weeks.  That is quite good for me as I am not very active.  Busy but sedentary life."


"To be clear, I am on luvox for its entire spectrum of effect-- OCD, anxiety and stress, and major depressive disorder. I have been on almost every single drug on the market, and Luvox is consistently the only one that has ever worked. The luvox/latuda (atypical antipsychotic) combination worked wonders for me in the past, and though I am only on luvox now, it has definitely helped with curbing recurrent, insistent thoughts of hopelessness and despair. It has blunted my anxiety, and after years of depression, I am starting to feel a little better. Just tired as all get out, though!"


"I just had a colonoscopy today. They use propofol. It worked great. I woke up and felt good. Last time I had a colonoscopy 10 years ago, they used versed. It made me very nauseous. I was thankful for this good experience."


"My obgyn prescribed me this. Took it for about a month or a little less.. made me moody, break out when my acne hadn't broken out in over a year. Decrease in sex drive. Completely
 stopped taking it."


"Had to retreat. If it doesn't go away then I will do a Nax treatment. Nax has a different chemical in it."


"Zoloft helped me a lot, perhaps I will sound cliche but for me it is really a miracle. I always had problems being in society of other people, on parties I always felt uneasy and tensed, in some way inferior. Zoloft changed that, also my mood swings became less, my anxiety is almost gone."


"Well, I have had Implanon for almost 2 years. I spotted for about 6 months the first year and have not had a period since. It was definitely a blessing in itself because I have always had horrible periods. Unfortunately, in these past 2 years I have gained a considerable amount of weight. I usually weighed from 110-115 and Now I am almost 130 lbs. Grant it, I am in nursing school, so my stress level is very high BUT I have never had trouble with my weight before. I have gone up a whole bra size! My breasts stay sore constantly as well. I am almost 23 years old, so I don't know if this has to do with my age or what. It's wild. I have always been so tiny and bam as soon as I get this, I struggle with my weight."


"The Nuvaring has worked for me. I have never tried any other form of birth control, and I started using it 6 years ago help with a very irregular, long, and heavy period.

It also helped clear up my skin then, and when I went off birth control my periods did get heavier, and sometimes I had debilitating cramps, plus I suffered from bad adult acne that nothing would fix. Within 3 months of going back on the Nuvaring my acne cleared right up, and immediately my periods got shorter, lighter, and were less painful.

I didn't note any significant mood changes, or changes in sex drive (but mine has never been especially high). I have experienced significant vaginal discharge, but it is normal aside from increased quantity.

It is very convenient"


"Severe stomach pain. After 3 days had to stop the medication."


"I got this on 23rd of November 2015, and I can say that I still have it. I noticed in my first year my periods would last to five days up to two weeks and sometimes it was crazy heavy or super light. But it's been two months after my first year and I haven't had a period. I also depression to begin with, and I can say it did mess with it a little bit but also depends on the day as well. But, I believed that's why I lost weight, because after I started getting control over my depression again I started gaining weight again. I haven't had sex yet, I got this as a "just in case" so I can't say anything about that."


"I'm a teenager and I have had pretty severe anxiety for about 3 to 4 years. It stopped me from doing normal high school things, like going to dances, making friends, and going to parties because those kinds things terrifies me. I went to a psychiatrist and since my anxiety has been negatively effecting my life she prescribed me 20 ml of prozac once a day. This has seriously changed my life. I've tried all the natural medications and techniques that claim to work but nothing had worked for me. It took a while to kick in but once it did I became a whole new person. I've been so happy and can do things without worrying!"


"I was put on this birth control pill in preparation for IVF. I've been on other birth control brands in the past and have never had an experience like this! It's only been one week and I am MISERABLE. Incredibly depressed, emotional, fatigued and unmotivated. I've also noticed a huge appetite increase. In the beginning I was also super nauseous but that is fairly typical in my experience. I know that different pills have different effects on people and it takes a while to adjust but as I said, I've been on multiple brands and none has ever been this bad. All I want to do is sleep, eat, and cry. Good times."


"Tried all sorts of other migraine medicines out there and relpax is by far the best. The melting Maxalt also seems to work. Unfortunatly, like the previous poster said, it is crazily expensive(after insurance my price was $130 for 30 pills). "


"I'm on day 5 of taking 2 pills a day for 7 days now I feel no symptoms of the infection like the itching and burning that's all gone no discharge only problem is always feeling like I'm going to vomit and my head is always hurting and my mouth stay dry and my mouth tastes like I been sucking on a bad penny. Never again will I have unprotected sex with a married man"


"My 18 year old son takes Adderall 30 mg. time released . I am amazed by the change in him and so is he. He has not beeen taking it for a week now and I came to the sight to see what others are saying about it and from what I have read it can make U very irritable and such if U just stop like that and miss days or think u don't need it for some days and that totally explains to me the drastic change in my son this past week ( VERY grumpy and easily irritated ) Thanks for all the comments."


"This was prescribed for lower back pain.  I was to take 1 before bed to help me sleep. Unfortunately, my body often reacts opposite to what is expected.  It gave me insomnia.  My brain refused to shut off while taking it.  The doctor switched me to Soma, which works well for me."


"I have taken this medication before, so not sure if something with my body chemistry changed or this medication composition has changed. My experience was a severe allergic reaction causing swelling to my face and lips, with blistering and sores inside my mouth that were extremely painful. I was given a steroid shot and high dosages of prednisone. On day 5 the swelling has just started to go down, but the sores inside my mouth and the scabs on my lips are horrible. I will not take this medication again."


"My 2 year old grandson was drop falling constantly every 2/3 min.  He already was taking toprimate and onfi.  We started koppra and the falling decrease with one dosage.  three days now and no falls, no shakes or jerks."


"I started smoking at 19 and moved on to vaping 2 years ago with the occasional cig/pack. Now I'm 24 and I started taking champix 17 days ago. I stopped vaping/smoking at day 12 and the first 3 days were tough but bearable. I expected work to be the hardest part, but really the worst is in the evening when I would ordinarily be sitting on my couch vaping. Now I have a constant headache whenever I spend a few hours being a lazy ass, which is fine.

It can cause your brain to feel a little off

It's not miracle drug, you're still going to have to quit, but it will help you. I've been 4 days and 2 hours nicotine free and I already feel like ceremoniously throwing my vape off a bridge. also, Watch what you eat and get some exercise."


"I'm thankful that I found a doctor that understood what I was dealing with and prescribed this medication. Without it I was just existing, and now have a full life. The 3rd day is tough when the medicine is wearing off, but by the middle of the first day of a new patch things are back in order."


"Horrible drug!  My doctor tried it as augmentation therapy for my depression, to take with my Trintellix.  The starting baby dose of 20mg flew me over the edge in two weeks.  I became angry, agitated, and very aggressive.  A neighbor make me so angry coming out of our condo parking garage the wrong way that I later slit tires on his car.  Not at all like me!  Thank God he accepted payment for new tires and didn't press charges.  Perhaps the nastiest med I have ever taken. And VERY expensive without good insurance."


"I wanted to post a little more information on Tramadol for RLS because people here are having a lot of questions/concerns. 50mg of Tramadol once or twice a day is not going to greatly improve your RLS. For restless legs, this medication needs to be taken in doses of at least 100mg and for it to completely get rid of the restlessness, it needs to be taken 2-4 times a day. And while other opiates like Oxycodone or Hydrocodone start working right away, Tramadol can take up to 1-2 hours to feel the full effect. So your last dose should be taken a hour or 2 before bedtime. Tramadol does nothing for pain but for RLS, it is a God send. The max dose is 400mg in 24 hours with no more than 100-150mg taken at once."


"I have fibromyalgia. As one of the other people commented, sometimes the pain is so bad I wouldn't be able to function. I take 1-2 tramadol per day most days and on really bad days I take 4 spaced throughout the day. The pain isn't entirely gone but I think it also helps my mood too so I can deal with the pain.  With it I am able to function well and keep a physically demanding job. Vicodin has no effect on me. I don't have any side effects from the Tramadol. I'm pretty bullet proof."


"I prescribe 750 mg of Levofloxacin for acute prostatitis. I took the medicine for 2 and half days. My tendons in my knees, ankles, heel and bottom of my feet started to aching. I began to have bad neck pain and headaches. I was falling asleep at work at the same time every day. My tongue had sore red bumps on them and turned white. It have been 11 days since I stop taking them and still having the same pain.  I am currently taking magnesium to help with the pain. I see some help from magnesium. Do not take this medicine."


"It made me very sick.  It caused a reaction of large hives and made me throw up."


"Ocella is a good birth control medication. For the four months I've been taking it, my only complaint is the multiple periods of breakthrough bleeding, bloating and nausea. I'm sure weight gain would be on my complaint list but you just have to maintain a really good diet and exercise whenever you can. But it's great."


"I've been taking it for 3 years, I rarely miss days and I take ALL pills (some people don't take the brown pills). I haven't had my period since 6 months after taking the pill. It's amazing. My first month I had EXTREMELY bad migraines but not any more. I love that they are chewable so I take it in the morning after brushing my teeth."


"I am almost done with my second pack of this birth control.  Overall I have NOTHING to complain about.  I put on a couple of pounds but I honestly would not blame that on the pill besides the fact that it's my first year in college.  Didn't worsen or better my skin and did not cause me ANY mood swings and my sex drive is still intact, haha.  The only thing I could probably say about it is that I will almost be a month late on my period but as I've read other reviews I hear that is normal but I am not sure how comfortable I am with that.  I rather not have to have a mini panic attack every time I miss a period and wonder if I'm pregnant.  But like I said, overall pretty great pill!"


"I will let the results speak for themselves.  A1C from 7.2 to 5.9.  Weight loss of 53 pounds without dieting.  Some of the weight came back so I will need to exercise more or eat less,"


"I've been taking Cymbalta (60mg) for around 6 months now and it seems to be really helping me with my anxiety and depression. I don't panic over little things anymore which is great and my friends and family have really seen an improvement in my mood. Decreased my appetite and emotional eating and I've lost 17 kilos (37 pounds).

Negative (but bearable) side effects would be moderate fatigue, the occasional headache if I take my dose late, weird dreams every night, twitching, dizziness when I stand up. The worst thing I've noticed is memory problems, I sometimes can't remember simple words and get a little confused."


"I've been on paragard since Aug I've been on my period since I've only stopped a total of maybe 3 weeks out of 6 months horrible. What can  I do helpppppppp"


"Is this product a few years ago then the company stopped making it was very disappointed because the results are awesome want to see my derm she said the pharmaceutical company is making triluma again and 4 days later my face is completely clear I was advised to continue to wear my sunscreen and hats"


"HATE IT!! Nexplanon does its job at preventing pregnancy I give it that but the side effects are terrible. I've had it since August 2014. I've bled 3 weeks out of every month since I got it, constantly have a headache, nausea, weight gain, always bleeding, period cramps are worse than I had before I got the implant, all around terrible. I would not recommend to anyone. Getting removed as soon as I get insurance again."


"So far so good. I have been on Remeron (30 mg) for 3 years.  It stopped being effective almost a year ago. Since then I have tried many other things. Finally my doctor suggested Seroquel (100 mg at bedtime), in addition to the Remeron. I noticed the difference almost immediately -- within 24 hours. Severe depression symptoms have eased off and also less anxiety. Unlike others, I have had no grogginess with it so far. So, while its early in the game, Seroquel looks to be good so far. Will post update as my treatment time continues."


"I am a healthcare provider who specializes in Emergency Medicine.  I had my 1st surgery 2 1/2 years ago lower Colon. 2nd surgery for entrapped Pudendal Nerve, and am still healing.  Was started on Cympalta and Lyrica.  Stopped Lyrica.  Had severe mood swings, couldn't concentrate, severe depression with daily suicidal thoughts. 20 lb weight gain. I have not treated patients for over a year because of my symptoms. After stopping cold turkey against doctors advise I have a clear head, memory has improved and best of all suicidal thoughts are gone.
I now feel safe enough to return to work and help save lives without fear of making a mistake or wrong decision that could harm others. The nerve pain is still there, but better than side effects."


"I was prescribed imipramine for depression. It worked very well for years! BUT... it made me a diabetic with peripheral neuropathy. When I was originally given the medication I was told it would increase my appetite. It did - a LOT! It also raised my glucose levels to astronomical levels (400-500). My A1c was between 10 and 11. Over time, it damaged my nerves. I didn't realize this until my feet began to burn. After slowly decreasing imipramine by 5 mg per week until completely coming off it, my feet were unbearable. The pain was constant. I couldn't walk, or have anything on my feet. I would sleep with my blankets folded up and my feet hanging off the bed. I would soak my feet in ice water to alleviate the burning and pain."


"My doctor gave me Victoza to lower my A1C which was in 8.2. She put me in low dose 0.6 injection plus 2000mg metformin. I started feel side effects after the second injection headaches, nausea and a lot of stomach discomfort. I don't have too much appetite the which is good. My reading drooped from 174 fasting to 120. The only bad thing is that my insurance don't cover Victoza so my doctor switch me to Trulicity and I hope I don't have new side effects."


"I've been on celxia 3 days now and am enjoying them.  I have high amounts of stress in my life and when I say high. My husband is fighting cancer and going through chemotherapy.  Also we have four boys, two of are teens.  My husband and I still own our own businesses,  and three dogs.  Two days after starting these meds, one of our dogs got very sick and died quickly.  With my husband and my boys, father battling cancer, this could have been much more stressful, but these meds allow me to have feelings and Control them.   I can focus on life again, instead of constantly feel anxiety and stress.  I'm 110 lbs and taking 10mg for five days then will be 20mg thereafter.  I may be over medicated but I needed a break, and it's helping tremendously"


"I actually liked this product when I was using it, but hated the inconvenience of having to mix the powder.  It was hard to use away from home.  My doctor gave me a lot of samples but now he said it isn't available?   Not sure why.  I like a new product he gave me a sample of called Lubricity (it's an oral spray) and I love the convenience of it.  It also seems to last considerably longer than NeutraSal and most of the other products I've tried.  Unfortunately it's not in any stores by me yet"


"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."


"Take it for back pain as needed. 100mg dose. It works but it makes you tired. No pain. Some days I can't even get up cause of my back pain. Only problem is when I don't take it (I try not to use pain meds too much) I get really sick. Maybe its withdrawal. That part isn't fun. But after 3 days or so of not taking it, I'm back to normal"


"I fell on concrete and they called it a chest wall contusion.  Fractures don't always show up on x-ray.  They gave me tylenol 3 because if I wasn't moving, I had no pain.  Well, it's been over a week and I tried to work my physical labor job...PAIN!!  This med hasn't helped me much except for sleep.  However, I did wake up at times in pain.  Too much tylenol can do liver damage so be careful not to take to much."


"I just started and this is giving me bad acne and making me extremely tired."


"This med had no effect on my anxiety or depression and also contributed to insomnia"


"Totally life changing medicine for people with chronic constipation and straining.  I only need one every 4 days to keep me regular now.  It is not like other laxatives, this lasts for a couple days.  It's really a great medicine for me, I think it could help many others!"


"I don't feel as bloated as I did before I started taking this pill- I have had no side effects at all."


"I got a 20mg sample from my doctor, and following his advice, I cut the tablet in half for 10mg. Although effective, I experienced troublesome side effects. Fast heartbeat, low blood pressure, headache, muscle pain, back pain, ringing in the ears, and abnormal orgasm. (Orgasm happened a few seconds before I could feel it) On the plus side, it seems to be a powerful medicine, but it is not right for me. I will try a lower dose of a less powerful medication."


"Horrible would not recommend to anyone!!!!!!!!"


"I am 29, never had any kids and was just looking for an easier way to do birth control. I went to my planned parenthood and was given 800mg of Advil before the procedure. Having it put in was absolutely the most painful thing I've experienced! I would never do it again based on that alone! I later found out that you are supposed to be on your cycle so your cervix is thin and easy to get through. I had serious cramping for the rest of that whole day. The IUD then led me to having severe panic attacks, daily! I was crying uncontrollably and I have been to several doctors and have been prescribed many different medicines. I took the IUD out against my doctors wishes and my symptoms stopped the same day! I'm still working out the kinks, but I am definitely 90% better."


"Very good!  I was given samples to try instead of the usual generic flexerill I usually take for muscle pain/spasm from severe degeneration in c-spine. This medicine works better and for me had no noticable drowsiness. I can actually feel the release of spasm and loosening of joint pain, unlike the other which leaves me half conscious. Great stuff."


"This my first time using plan B, I'm kind of scared it it'll work honestly. My boyfriend and I did the deed and the condom broke he ejaculate in me big time, I'd say like 5 to 10 mins later I took the pill. It is now Monday and these symptoms are stupid real, I've experienced abdominal pain, nausea, mean headaches etc. I pray this works I'm 21 years old and I am not ready for a baby let alone my 21 year old boyfriend!!"


"I  am a 45 yr old female with moderate rt knee osteo which feels severe because I have bone on bone rt hip osteo.  I have tried cortisone before, which worked great , but it seems osteo increased when the cortisone wore off over a very short time.  I was desperate to try another therapy for my knee since I have always been active , but lately stairs and long stents of walking are extremely hard for me .  I tried orthovisc for my knee in the last month : 3 shots 1every 7 days for 3 wks.  The first shot was ok - 2nd shot : I felt great after a week- the third shot was painful and took a little longer to recover.  I'm assuming the 3rd shot was most painful due to soreness at injection site.  I notice the achiness during rain has went away."


"I have had Nexplanon for a year this coming May. I was on my period for 6 months straight and then it disappeared completely! This has given me a great deal of appetite changes. For weeks at a time I will either be extremely nauseous and not hungry at all, or very hungry all the time. Has also caused weight gain, & mood swings."


"In conjunction with 40mg of Lexapro at bedtime clonazepam is extremely effective."


"Lisinopril caused all sorts of nasty side effects including raynaud's, muscle spasms and cramping, joint and muscle pain, tinnitis.  None of the Dr believed the drug would do that so I kept taking it.  I was diagnosed with MS and peripheral neuropathy.  Symptoms except for Tinnitis stopped when I stopped taking Lisinopril."


"I was prescribed metronidazole to take two times a day for seven days. I must say after the second day, the discharge and odor I had been experiencing for months went away. I finished the course of my medicine today so hopefully after my cycle finishes, my issues would have gone away. If you are experiencing side effects, just remember to take your doses with a regular meal. That works wonders. I have experienced ZERO of the side effects that were listed on label. Hope this review helps someone one."


"MIGRAINE SUFFERERS BEWARE: this medication took my migraine condition to another level of pain and frequency. The worst part is that my doctor did not share with me that Zoloft can make migraines worse before I started the medication. I had at least 2-3 days every week that not only was I completely incapacitated by the pain of them (something typical with migraines) to the point that I could not go to class, but the vomiting and nausea was relentless. I lost 15 pounds on this medication after taking it for just 6 weeks because of the vomiting from migraines. I went to the hospital toward the end of trying Zoloft because of dehydration and the worst pain I've felt in my life from the migraines this caused. be careful if you have migraines"


"Cymbalta seemed to help me feel better. It did not really help a lot with my pain just my mood. I had to stop taking it, because I could not urinate. "


"It worked to help me sleep every time I tried except once. Also is great if you are sick to your stomach. I have never used it for allergies, but I want to. Try it if your Doctor lets you."


"I have been fighting psoriasis for many years on and off, have tried everything topicals, steroids, uvb light, laser, natural products, coal tar except have not tried biologicals, I had a bad flare 2 years ago mostly on my legs, and a few spots in other areas, nothing has worked so far, my dermatologist gave me a started pack of Oztela, I have been on it no 6 days, so far not too many side effects when it comes to digestive issues but I do suffer from migranes and last night I had one of the worst migranes in a very long time. My skin does look like its getting better already so I will keep taking it for a while and hope the side effects start to disappear."


"I feel psychotic! I had a baby two months ago and needed a low dose estrogen pill. I feel overwhelmed, anxious, bloated and very emotional. After having an emotional breakdown over nothing, I am stopping this immediately. "


"Nasal polyps were better after 1 month of use."


"A health care professional and a person who takes this medication ."


"I got the nexplanon implant about a month ago. So far I am satisfied. Had nausea the first couple weeks and I get occasional very light spotting. Have not noticed a change in appetite, if anything it has decreased."


"I have only had my first dose- 4 weeks in and I already know I'm never getting it again. My mood swings have been terrible... I feel like crying for no reason, worse than any other birth control I've taken in the past. To top it all of my skin is reacting terribly. I have a rash all over my legs and it's starting to breakout on my arms too! Luckily it's not red, but it's still uncomfortable. I'm terrified of how the next 2 months are going to be... Broke down crying to my fiancé begging him to help me get through this. Wouldn't recommend it to ANYONE"


"Was prescribed this after positive ID of h.pylori from endoscopy biopsy.  10 days / 12 pills a day.  Not gonna lie it was rough.  Side effects included dizziness, upset stomach, nausea for me.  Within 10mins of ingestion the effects could be felt.  I made sure to eat a full meal to help lessen the effects.  Even at bedtime.  Sometimes no effects other times strong effects.  But got through the 10 days.  After taking it still had residual side effects for another 2 days on/off.  Then finally on day 3 returned to normal.  Need to do the re-test in 1mo so not sure if it worked to kill the bacteria for good.  I won't lie I almost stopped taking it in the middle of treatment but kept telling myself this has to be done and I cannot stop!"


"I wad prescribed Lyrica after being newly diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I am taking it before bed and do not feel any better!"


"This is a wonder drug!!
Out of no where I got THE worst anxiety/panic attacks. I didn't want to take Xanax every time I had one because it was every single day. They were so bad, it felt like I was having a heart attack!! I decided go on seratline @ 25mg and it worked within few days! No more Xanax!! Yes, I got the headache and stomach pain, but went away.
Also, the natural stuff (supplements) wasn't helping me and actually making it worse!!
I'm so grateful for this medicine!"


"I've has severe insomnia since I was 15. I'm 64 now. I've tried everything in the book. Lunesta did nothing. Trazadone turned me into a zombie the next morning, though I slept. Regular Ambien helped, but within a year I was on Ambien CR. It worked 'most' nights for about five years, but has lost its effectiveness. My doctor gave me a sample of Belsomra, and he didn't really expect it to work. But it DID!!! It's amazing. It's the only thing I've ever tried that gave me these results. The drawback is going to be the price. I have to get it pre-authorized in order for Blue Cross to pay for it. Crossing my fingers. I Don't understand the talk about it giving you nightmares. I have had some of the funniest dreams I've ever had on this stuff."


"My son was diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago and like most parents I refused to believe that anything was "wrong" with my son. After research I decided against medication because of the TERRIBLE reviews and side effects... until I heard about Intuniv. It has been one of the BEST decisions that I have ever made. He still has his happy little personality and still a rambunctious little boy but he is able to sit in class without bouncing off the walls and his grades have really improved. Like previous reviews he was very tired and had headaches in the beginning but like the Dr promised that quickly faded. He is 8 now and will remind me if I forget to give it to him because he says that it makes him feel better, and he sleeps like a log."


"It's my 3rd day now on this and yet no sign of relief. I'm starting to get worried, the swelling and burning when I pee is still there and it's almost unbearable but hopefully it gets better."


"My husband has honestly had a wonderful experience taking Belviq. He has steadily lost weight and is changing his relationship with food by simply eating smaller portions. No real side effects."


"I've just finished a course of 3 per day and seems to have worked. It reduced smell and discharge within a day so very effective. I took all tablets with food but struggled to make it to 3 tablets a day as this has terrible side effects. Nausea, cramping, dizziness, loss of interest in food, feeling emotional and dark urine. I was so worried about the dark urine and apparently this is rare but reading other comments I think anything but rare!"


"My son & I have year round allergies, and my son's asthma (he's 14) is exacerbated by nasal congestion. I tried everything! Some stuff worked ok, some not at all, but this product is like a miracle.  We don't suffer AT ALL from allergies now, and my son's asthma is improved as a result as well. Try it and see. I bet you'll love it."


"Found out I had ADHD my sophomore year & was put on this pill. Started at 36mg and I could definitely see changes. Very moody, could not go to sleep at night, I always so jumpy and on the go, but I will have to say it helped A LOT with my troubles on paying attention in school. Went from D's & F's to an honor roll student. The only thing that's really scary for most people is the weight loss it can cause. I weighed 130 my freshman year and in the middle of my junior year I was 94 pounds. So you really have to watch that!"


"If you take this medicine, don't expect to be able to stay awake during the day for a while. It takes time to get used to. As far as how good it is at helping you get to sleep? 10/10, I can't imagine propofol would be more effective."


"Taking 20mg per day of Baclofen for Levator Syndrome (pelvic muscle spams). The only thing that has ever worked for this condition. No side effects that I can tell."


"I've just switched from Modafinil to Armodafinil. I take twice a day dividing the 150 mg tablet into 2 parts with full meal. With Modafinil I had eye-irritation. It wasn't serious, but good enough to make me worried cause I already have glaucoma. The eye irritation reduced as I divided my dosage of 200 mg Modafinil into 2 times with a full meal. Though it may reduce the effectiveness, but the side-effect alleviation was more prominent. This prompted me to take Armodafinil cause I thought I may reduce the dosage further. Hence started with Armodafinil 150 mg and I think the plan has really worked out. The eye irritation effect is virtually non-existent! Still it's early days to comment on other properties, but I will as they become evident.."


"I was on this medication for 15 years and in this time I did not experience any side effects maybe a little weight gain but nothing drastic. I went from giving birth to the needle straight away and never had a period, spotting or anything. For me it worked but I know some who it didn't work for so my suggestion is try it, if its not for you then stop. what do you have to lose."


"I started Belviq on the 17th of June. Within 2 days I felt a huge reduction in my appetite. I started losing weight almost immediately, lost 8. Lbs in the following 2 weeks. I was still drinking a lot of wine, and noticed my weight loss slow dramatically. I was still losing, but only 2 lbs were lost the next two weeks. I cut out wine completely July 20th, started losing rapidly again. As of today  I am down a total of 25 lbs. I started at 180 lbs. (eek!) And today I am a 155. My blood pressure is way down and I don't crave wine at all. The only side effect is bladder pressure, very uncomfortable, feels like a urinary tract infection coming on, but isn't. I felt it when I first started and any time I take a few days break and restart. It goes away in a day."


"Now on day 3 of 150mg Wellbutrin. I feel jittery, out of it, like my brain is cement and won't move when I turn my head, I can hardly concentrate for a conversation, I drop things, I have trouble thinking straight. I drove my car the first day but should not have. I will continue hoping that these horrible side effects go away"


"I have tried this drug once, it did help out my back pain greatly, but it has me the worst nausea ever. After about an hour or relaxation, all went to hell and I thought I was going to throw up right there and then. I didn't thankfully but I had those feelings off and on for another 2 hours and after that the drug had worn off. I don't think the hour of relaxation was worth the horrible nasuea."


"Amazing medicine! I've had GERD for 14 years. I've been on Aciphex for 10 years. No other medicine has ever come close to touching how effective this is for me. When my insurance stopped paying for it, I tried Prevacid. It did not help me at all. I had to try it for two weeks and if it failed to help, my insurance agreed to pay for Aciphex. That was the most miserable 2 weeks of my life. Constant burning reflux was all my days were filled with. I was so happy when I got to get back on Aciphex! I have no reflux symptoms whatsoever with it. If GERD is making your life miserable, give it a try!"


"This generic brand is nothing like the brand name. Something is definitely different. I spot regularly during the 2nd week of pills every single month.  I think you need to pull it off the market. I will be discontinuing my use."


"I am just 28 unmarried person, had been suffering for ED since last couple of years because of high blood pressure. I had lost all my hopes and became depressed but and I have start taking TADALAFIL 20mg on daily basis but first one or two pills didn't make any difference and I have lost my hopes again but  suddenly I have notice some dramatically change in my penis even at flaccid position now I am getting full erection from last 4 to 5 days like I was getting at my teen age wow I am happy again I live my life again and friends NO SIDE EFFECT at all believe me now I want to marry because I have got my confidence back. Thank you god and thank you TADALAFIL............"


"Taking Invokana for at least several years now. Also take metformin and Tradjenta, but the latter is new for me. One thing I noticed almost right away was a "weird" feeling that was kind of like skin sensitivity which could be related to (decreased) circulation. When I told doctor about it, was told very firmly that "that is not something associated with this drug." Now all of a sudden there is new info about increased amputations! Also get the aches, muscle pains and swollen arm pits/arms. I was really wondering about that! Why? No yeast problems, though. Did help as the "final push" to really help normalize sugars, but will now reconsider taking it! Prob. not worth it."


"The positive: it has an almost immediate effect, from Day One there's a lift in mood. Effexor XR Also gives a feeling of energy, both mental and physical. I've also noticed a significant decrease in my social anxiety, I can talk to anyone without feeling nervous -  this 'extra' effect began, again, on Day One.                                     The negative: slight feelings of nausea with a definite decrease in appetite. I don't really enjoy my meals as much while on Effexor. I've also noticed a form of a insominia since starting - early awakenings and not being able to get back to sleep."


"It makes the pain go away and I can finally sleep at night. I'm so glad they have this medicine. The only side effect that I have had is the weight gain, which is 25 pounds so far and I have only been on it a month. At first I had some dizziness and minor hand and face swelling but that has gone away. If they could only improve so it wouldn't make you gain weight it would be a perfect medicine."


"I am 20 years old and have been taking 60mg Vyvanse for a little more than 4 years now and It really helps me focus. It increases my attention span, clarity, and motivation without giving me jitters. However, I have experienced almost every side effect that comes with this medicine including insomnia, appetite loss, night time depression, flat-lined emotions throughout the day, ect. However, despite what you might think, there are ways around these bad side effects. Staying healthy is KEY. Making sure your keeping yourself hydrated and getting a good hour of exercise everyday can greatly reduce some of these bad side effects, and also hanging out with friends regularly helps too. This is just my experience though."


"I'm 22 with no kids. I had been on birth control pills since I was 17 & had decided to try an implant. My insertion was definitely a 9/10, 9 being almost unbearable.The first 3-4 weeks were crazy.My cramps were intense & I was sleeping with a heating pad almost every night. I didn't have an appetite and being on my feet at work made the cramps worse. I kept going back to the doctor to make sure that the implant was in the right spot, thinking it wasn't because something felt really wrong. everything was normal and they suggested I wait it out another couple weeks. I did and I'm now in my 5 month with it and I love it.just wanted to let the girls out there know that if you're considering taking it out, give it awhile longer!"


"This works for me because the side effects are less dramatic than Xanax."


"I started this medication about 7 weeks ago and it has been such a blessing. I have suffered from anxiety on and off since I had my daughter 3 years ago. I decided to try lexapro after I had experienced a state of anxiety in which my body continued to be tense. Yes, the first few weeks of side effects were the worst but just like the rest of the reviews just push through it because it really does get better. I forgot how it felt to be relaxed and calm and this medication helps you get back to that state. No it doesn't cure you from anxiety but it does help you deal with it in a more rationale way."


"I have used Loestrin Fe and Gildess Fe in the past and never had an issue with either. I was on Gildess up until a couple months ago, when my pharmacy switched me to Microgestin Fe 1/20 and told me that it was exactly the same as Gildess.

The first time I got my period on Microgestin, my face, neck, back, and crotch broke out in a scaly, red, incredibly itchy rash. I couldn't figure out what had caused this awful rash (that lasted for a week) until a month later, at the same time of month, the rash returned. I'm going to see my gyn and getting a new prescription because my experience with Microgestin has been awful."


"So..  I had sex for the first time ever with my boyfriend .... And I'm on the nuvaring... He didn't have any protection.. But we thought that it would be OK... Because of the birth control.. Well..... I'm pregnant."


"Terrible side effects."


"I started this on April, 23, 2010. I had seen the results in some of my family members. I was very skeptical because I had tried every kind of diet known to mankind and was never successful. I watch several friends go with the gastric bypass and all of them nearly died from it and have had constant complications from it. This little pill is great. I weighed 264lbs on 4/23 and as of today I am down to 234lbs...that is 30 lbs in 2 months. My husband started when I did ..he weighed 337lbs and he is down to 295lbs. He has not been below 300 since he was a kid and he is 47 years old now. We do go for a walk 3-4 times a week. My cravings for chocolate is gone. Portion size is the key. We do have a dry mouth but that is about it. Will keep you posted."


"This shot is no good.
I gave birth on aug.17 and at the hospital they gave me the depo shot before I was discharged.
Everything was regular I was bleeding everything out then my 6 weeks were up and I was still bleeding so I thought it was just my period but its now oct 8 and I'm still bleeding its so frustrating,
No doctor told me that it made you bleed like crazy and also another nurse told me that this shot stops your breastmilk but no doctor is giving out this information.
I regret it !"


"My psoriatic arthritis started about 36 months ago I tried light therapy and was on enbroe for about 8 months with limited improvement from either treatment procedure.
My back, head, and legs were very covered with psoriasis and were extremely itchy. My scratching exacerbated  the problem and I had bleeding scores all over my legs.
One year ago I went on otezla and within 4 months my back and head were completely clear and my legs were vastly improved
I did not experience any side effects to speak of although I did lose 10 lbs.
Currently my legs are about 80% clear however after about 5 months of use the palms of my hands and my feet were severely infected with psoriasis to the point were they were cracking and bleeding no matter how much l tried to look after them"


"I've had Frozen Shoulder for 8 months.  If you aren't familiar with frozen shoulder, it is not only inconvenient because of the inability to move your arm, it is terribly painful.  It takes usually about 12 to 24 months to get over it, and I've been on Vicodin, Tramodol, Advil and other pain killers for this, while doing physical therapy.  I also have a topical prescription compound for my pain.  I was at my wit's end when my doctor came up with the idea of Cymbalta.  It seems to have been a great idea.  I have a little dry mouth, but I am about 80 percent pain free.  I still can't 'Move' my arm, but with physical therapy, that will come in time.  It used to hurt (REALLY HURT) 24/7!"


"The worst waste of money, with no relief at all!"


"Best drug for gout is indomethacin if your stomach can handle it.

Colcrys works for some people but it is basically useless for a lot of people.

I still use it because my rheumatologist pushes the issue despite the fact that I tell him it's not doing a darn thing for me."


"I have been on the Depo, Nuvaring and Implanon. I never had issues with any of those birth controls. When I got the Implanon put in it was quick and easy. I'm not a fan of needles, they used to make me pass out. I ended up having it taken out because my three yr relationship ended and I knew I wouldn't be active sexually while not in a serious relationship. Two yrs later I am going to ask for it again. "


"I have been on Effexor XR for years.  I have been on several other SSRIs through the years that eventually stopped working.  Effexor has been the most successful in the long term.  I take 150mg of the XR and 37.5 three times a day of the regular Effexor.  The regular was recently added as my depression has worsened due to additional stress at work.  I have not had any major side effects, even on this high of a dose.  I do agree that withdrawal is serious.  If I miss a dose, I have a buzzing feeling, crying and increase in depression almost immediately.  This is one medication that I do not go without--ever.  I am a bit worried about ever going off of it for these reasons.  I believe that this can be done safely with the help of a physician."


"I had a bad heroin problem for 3 years, and I finally went to a methadone clinic. I'm not sure if it was the clinic or the drug, but I was now addicted to methadone. I wanted it every day, I took big doses and I stayed high the whole time, then I was addicted to methadone for a year! It is painful to detox off of methadone, worse then my heroin withdrawals. I went to in patient rehab and they gave me Suboxone, oh my goodness. Immediately my withdrawals subsided, they were gone, and I had no urge to do any drugs, I was on that for 30 days, and I got out, and now I am sober and never touched anything since. It's a miracle drug to me, and it worked for me. I'm so thankful. "


"Started Contrave after trying many other medications (phentermine, Qysmia and more). Also diet programs likeJenny Craig and Weight Watchers. Would only lose 5-10 pounds and gain it back within one month, while still on the programs. Literally nothing was working for me. I also have hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which have made it incredibly difficult to lose weight even with exercise. 5'8, 233 pounds starting in April. As of today, I am 213 pounds. I can't believe I've lost 20 pounds! I did have stomach cramps and constipation at first, but that has subsided. I feel full after just a little bit of food, but I still get hungry when my body needs to eat. Almost NO cravings for sugar,but if I want sweets, just a little is enough."


"I am on my second month of taking this pill and I am not sure I will continue. I have noticed weight gain and serious bloating. I eat pretty healthy and work out so gaining weight was pretty obvious to me. I went on this pill to save some $$ but I plan on going back on YAZ - my mood was better, periods were light, no weight gain, skin was better.  Plus my pills dont come with the sugar pills."


"I was misdiagnosed, and wrongly put on this medicine.  It causes psychosis in individuals inappropriately put on it.  It took me ten years to find doctors who could say this was a possibility."


"This has been the only med that I have used in the last 20 years I have suffered from back, neck and arm pain. I had two back surgeries that helped but not long term. Pain meds did not help much and having a heart problem that prevented any surgery unless it was a life or death/, no muscle relaxers worked if I could use them......and the strong ones they would let me have them for few a month so I could get some relief. Pain was so bad I was not eating and drinking enough....which sent me to the ER with my Blood pressure bottomed out. So they put me on this medication and I have more good days than bad. I sleep, and back tending to my over all health. THANKS"


"I started taking Belsomra after my Ambien became not as effective. It was expensive, but I hoped it would change my life. I've had insomnia for almost 20 years. It seemed to work ok at first, but the longer you take it, the worse it gets. Sleep paralysis is just the beginning. Night terrors, violent dreams and very thin sleep followed. By the time I decided to go back to Ambien, I hadn't had a real sleep in months. Don't bother trying."


"I got nucynta after I had surgery on my hand. I severed tendons and the recovery was awful. I was given Norco and then also nucynta. The 2nd night I took the nucynta I started to feel strange. My heart was racing and I felt panicky. My bf asked me if I was okay and I couldn't answer him. I stared at him because I was trying to not have a panic attack. The feeling I felt is hard to explain. I just knew something was wrong and I was having some kind of reaction. Finally I asked him to take me to hospital. Once on the freeway I had a hallucination. I saw a 20 ft tall figure on the side of the road. I swear on my life. No other drugs were involved.. I don't drink and have never had this happen before. I was okay a few hrs later but it was scary!"


"Well...i start using yaz 3 months ago and my face now looks terrible. Is so much worse then before. I can not go out and i feel so bad. When i start it i had only a few pimples in my right cheek but now all my face is coved with very ugly and big acne. But im still waiting...im in the third week of my third pack now and hoping for some improvment"


"So I started using this cream on the Tuesday nights and it is Friday now, on the first night using it my skin did sting a bit but it was fairly bearable, the second night I used it all over my face as before and my skin stung so much I had to wash it off and it was still stinging it hurt so much I was close to tears. However I have now learnt to not put the cream too close to the corners of my nose and also not use it all over my face. I would say that my skin has cleared up drastically, I started using the pill on Tuesday as well and honestly my skin has cleared up like overnight and I had loads of tiny red angry spots on my forehead which have virtually disappeared with only a few left (touchwood)"


"So far, not so good. Today is day number 4 of the starter of the Qsymia, and I have noticed no difference in my appetite at all. I was hoping to at least have some curb if my appetite but I haven't. Thankfully, though, no side effects, either. I will give it another month after the dose gets increased, but right now I can't say I'm impressed with this medication."


"I see a lot of reviews about the initial placement being painful, but I honestly did not a feel a thing! My doc talked me through it, counted 3 potential cramps. But I didn't feel any until immediately after & it felt no worse than period cramps. They lasted for about an hour. Then had a migraine for the rest of the day. Bled lightly. Day 2 & I have no complaints. Bleeding even ceased. I'm gonna do my best to push through any side effects, better than being pregnant again! Will post updates."

"I got better instantly. No side effects. I lost 30 pounds on this medication and it has helped me tremendously. I have no more eating disorder symptoms, and I did not relapse after I stopped taking it. My depression resided completely."


"I am 18 and I love Ocella. I feel like it's balanced me out. I used to feel depressed, moody and irritable for the two weeks before my period. Almost suicidal in the couple of days before it. Then my period would come full blast for the first two days and I would be in so much pain that all I could do was scream. I couldn't work or go to school. I took a lot of pain medicines so I was too high to function, and also could still feel occasional plain. Now, on Ocella, I felt the extreme pain for maybe an hour when my period starts, and then I'm able to take a normal amount of pain medicines and I'm fine to go to school. The mood swings before my period are very slight. I also use it as birth control. I do not feel a decrease in my sex drive."


"I'm allergic to dust and couple more things.. my doctor prescribed this drug to me which is a steroid. It didn't help me at all. It dried my nose and I couldn't breath. The side effects were horrible. I had horrible headaches, nausea, insomnia, and body aches. I will never use this product again. I will break it into pieces!"


"I'm 20 i have been on concerta for 3 years.... before i was on everything else... every other medication was a emotional rollercoaster ride.... and i was  very angry before... now 5 years later.... i'm the happiest most confident person... graduated college with honors, and lead a "out of trouble" life!!! THANX CONCERTA"


"Very easy to use, doesn't give me morning sickness like the pill did. I don't even notice its on. Only downfall is that it falls off in the shower or pool, and I think its causing me to gain weight. It also made me very moody for the first 3 months. "


"Useful for rosacea that is not extremely out of control. If you have just a few pustules it can be helpful when used regularly."


"I have severe bone pain in my legs and frequent bowel movements up to fifteen times per day. Parathyroid scan showed nothing abnormal. After taking Sensipar only three days I saw marked improvement. After 28 day trial, pain in the legs is 80% improved, (am a multiply operated spine patient so did not expect 100%).  Bowel movements are more normal and once per day as they should be. This shows with just one month of treatment, that I do have parathyroid disease that was not picked up on scans. Now I can pursue treatment through surgery."


"Flomax improved my ability to pee however it also made me listless and I experienced dizziness when changing positions suddenly. After a (1) month trial I am giving it up. For me the benefits are not worth the side effects."


"I have been taking this for three months along with Canasa suppositories with huge success. I have had extreme IBS with bleeding colon ulcers. I would be hit with sudden extreme diarrhea  20 minutes after eating anything. Sometimes I'd be hit not eating anything. Fasting was a sure way of having problems. These medicines are the first thing to work in over 10 years of suffering."


"I had to take 4 pills one time with food....
I am definitely feeling better!!!!!
Metronidazole I had allergic reaction too!!!!"


" I am 28, have struggled with acne for 10  years and this is the only product that has kept me consistently clear. While I have undergone 3 rounds of Accutane, the cystic acne on my chin always returned and eventually spread to my cheeks, leaving some mild scaring. Within two weeks of Aczone, I could see improvement and within two months, I could go out without makeup again. While my skin is still not blemish free (I still have a small blemish or two at any given time), this nothing compared to how bad my skin was before Aczone and has given me back my confidence. I also love that this medication is gentle (unlike the Epiduo, which stung unbearably) and doesn't have the scary side effects of others (like Accutane). Highly recommend!!"
