"I had been on nexplanon for 6 years (had it twice). First time getting it, I had the heaviest period for a full month, but then they stopped. When I had it removed and got the next one in, I didn't bleed at all. getting it removed was the only part that freaked me out but its great for anyone who has issues remembering birth control. I know it's what caused me to gain weight, because I lost 8 lbs without trying when it was removed. My family thinks it could have caused my depression to be worse but I doubt it. I liked it. Kept me baby-free. My only worry was becoming infertile so I didn't have it put back in ,but If it's safe I probably will have another one put back in"


"I have been on Synthroid now for 4 years. I wasn't able to take the generic Levothyroxine because it caused me high blood pressure. I was shocked to find out I had Thyroid disease. My dosage continues to go up I'm on 125mcg now, and just had my TSH checked and its again on the low end (which I can tell because of fatigue, weight gain, hair loss). I demand my thyroid to be tested every 4 months. When its in the middle of "Normal" range is the only time I feel good!"


"Hi All - I have been taking Oracea for about a week now and have actually found my rosacea to worsen.  I am considering stopping the treatment but wondering if anyone who likes the drug has had the experience of it getting worse before it gets better.  Feeling very self-conscious and frustrated.  Thank you."


"I started using Epiduo in June and since then my acne has been improving dramatically. When I first started, I made my skin breakout for about two weeks, but from there my skin has gotten clearer and clearer. Although, everyday when I wake up I have a thick layer of oil on my face, but I just wash it off and its fine. I strongly do recommend Epiduo."


"This medication is the greatest thing for chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting. My mom took it for 6 months during her treatments and never had any vomiting or nausea."


"i have been on this medication for over 8 years for seizure control and it helps with my panics attacks and phobias I take the lowest dosage I can with out any side effects . Though it does help me sleep at night ."


"I got the skyla put in almost 3 yrs ago. Don't get me wrong it was the best for awhile. I got it right after u has my daughter. First year I couldn't lose any weight. The second year I gained so much weight and can not get it off not even one pound LITERALLY. I have cramped so bad I passed out after sexual intercourse. I have not bleed in almost 3 yrs and that is not natural."


"I went to pick up my Jolessa refill (I loved) and they gave me Quasense. Had spotting/bleeding all summer - 2 months, serious weight gain, terrible cramps, and no libido.  With 30 days left in the pack - I could no longer bear the symptoms and stopped 3 days ago.  It's nice to have my life back!  Bleeding stopped, bloating diminished and desired intimacy with my husband again.  This was really a terrible experience.  Lesson - stop sooner if not working, don't change your medicine."


"I have taken Victoza for about 6 weeks. Between the nausea, upper GI disturbances, including reflux and heartburn, the extreme flatulence and belching, and the resulting loss of sleep, I do not know how much longer I can stay on this medication. I had already begun losing weight prior to starting this, but the subsequent loss is quite dramatic, and glucose levels have remained stable. I would love to stay on this medication for the results, but the side effects have to improve."


"I've had mixed results with this.  Been on 180mg of Oxy IR and 75mcg Fentanyl for YEARS. When my doc increased my Fentanyl to every 48 hours, all my plumbing STOPPED.  I NEVER had any problems, ever!  I fought with the constipation, not going for 6 weeks+ sometimes.  I don't know what hurts worse...?  Anyway, the Relistor works here and there.  I don't have insurance and at $75 a 12mg injection, I can't afford not to go!!! I just gave myself a 12mg shot yesterday, and another today.  24 hrs apart.  Nothing.  I haven't gone in 3 weeks now.  This is not good.  The laxative route does nothing as well.  I'm frustrated... Any suggestions?"

"I came from the UK being on a diferent pill which I cant get in the States. I dont think I like Levora at all. I have had major mood swings, am very emotional and have no sex drive whatsoever. My orgasms are also very weak since I have been taking it. I'm very lethargic all the time and have had a breakout of large red, sore spots on my shoulders and back."


"I take 100 mg. It works but side effects were I was always tired and gained weight. Took Wellbutrin with it when I was taking 50mg. That made me feel close to normal but I got headaches and gained weight. I was good enough with just the Pristiq, but not great. The doctor then added Dextroamphetamine, which now has me feeling normal, like when I was in my 20's. I have motivation, energy, focus, no panic, no depression and once again feel the wide range of emotions as they are meant to feel. I am able to take joy in the small things in life and not dwell on the down sides. My weight has also adjusted back to pre-medication size."


"Imitrex has been a life saver for me. As soon as I feel the headache coming I can take half of a 100mg imitrex and in 20 min the headache subsides. I have absolutely no side effects from this medication."


"I was bleeding heavily for 8 mth non stop! Please don't use this method! It is absolutely horrible & ruined my life. Had major CRAMPS, clumps & clumps of blood, wasted so much $$ buying thick diapers & tampons 'cause I was bleeding that much! Initially they put me on BC Pills to stop the bleeding but b/c I requested really low dosage it didn't do its job. I stopped taking it thinking it would mess me up even more b/c I'm putting more hormones in my body. I was under the impression it would go away eventually but after 7 months of bleeding, I finally went to see a gynecologist & she gave me higher dosage birth control pills to stop the bleeding! After a month of being on the pills, it finally STOPPED! THANK GOD! Miserable frm Jan16 to Aug16"


"I started the Loestrin 24 FE probably about 6 months ago - I've had both good and bad experiences with is. The good: very light periods that lasted 2 days and sometimes I didn't get my period at all and my boobs got bigger. HOWEVER... The bad: Since I've been on it I've gained about 20 pounds. I'm 29 and active - I try to eat healthy - I don't exercise. I had been maintaining a size 2 to 4 for the past number of years. I'm now uncomfortably a 6-8. I've also been noticing more break outs which I haven't had in years, and I had been very moody. I'm definitely switching back to Ortho Tri Cyclen or maybe Yaz."


"Loved this medicine at start a month ago. Lost 9 pounds.  I am not obese but after a hard year and surgery I had to give up exercise. I gained almost 20 lbs in two years and I was miserable. My doctor realized I needed a kick start and prescribed this... I LOVED ... I have been more attentive and energetic and not eating just for the sake of eating or being bored. After a month I feel like my body is too used to it and not the same as day one ... But I am going to keep going and try to lose 10 more pounds... However I will say that I have not had bad side affects at all ..."


"I started seeing less acne appearing but it didn't get rid of any either and it made my skin extremely oily, like, if I got a paper towel and dab my face it would be clear"


"Took it for a little over 6 months - Quinapril HCL 40mg along with Amlodipine Besylate 5mg and 1/2 a pill of Hydrochlorothiazide 50mg. The cough got to be excessive. Of course I do smoke, but I know the difference between smokers cough and something else. Switched to Benicar 20mg, after 7 days side effects just too much and it is so expensive. Quit the Benicar. The coughing is very annoying but will have to try it again as it is like the only medicine that I can afford right now. Everyone is different but it is okay as far as I am concerned for me."


"I took 4 doses of this today all at once for chlamydia as I am infected. I took 4 250mg doses. I looked on this website before taking to find out side effects and other people's experiences and I was absolutely terrified of taking them. But I took them anyway obviously as I want rid of the infection.
I took them at about 9 o'clock this morning and I have had absolutely no side effects what so ever. No dizziness, no stomach pain, no diarrhea. I have had a bit of nausea but I put that down to being because I was hungry so I ate and felt fine.
I hope that it is as effective as I have been told. I will post an update in a week or two when I receive results, hopefully they will be negative."


"I used it during radiation therapy. It was wonderful.  Prevented burn, was not greasy and absorbed so quickly into the skin could dress right after application without ruining clothes."


"I have had Multiple Sclerosis since 1978. For a long time there was no medication for M.S. I began taking 100 MG of Provigil many years ago, but now take 200 MG twice daily. I switched to Methylphenidate 10 MG twice daily for 3 months, as my insurance, or lack of insurance, made Provigil financially prohibitive. All I did was sleep. My fatigue was totally incapacitating! Now, with insurance in place, I'm back on Provigil. I've re-entered life and realize how vitally important Provigil is to my well being!"


"Been on Oxybutynin CL ER 15 mg tablets for 5 weeks. No improvement. I have to wear depends with a pad because I leak that much. I just leak urine and I do not know it. No urge. Not from coughing or laughter. I just drip a lot all day long. It is so horrible."


"I had smoked for 24 years and after MANY failed attempts at quitting I gave Chantix a try.  I truly enjoyed smoking and couldn't see a life without smoking.  Well, taking Chantix is the best thing I've ever done, I am now going on 14 months smoke free. I now hate the smell of cigarettes, have no desire to smoke and looking back it's hard to believe that I ever smoked."


"Like other reviews said, you won't take the time to post a review if you're happy with it but I am. After switching from bc to bc this one finally worked on me. I went from having extremely heavy periods, pelvic pain, and not being able to stand up to a medium to light period the first month. Pain meds finally worked on me to remove the pain unlike before."


"Went to the beach stayed in the sun way to long and the next 2 days I got these fever blisters/cold sores. I was so upset until I found this medication! It really works, it gets rid of all the swelling, redness, puss/scab; basically if you feel the tingling take it ASAP! It WILL help and relieve your mind thinking "all I have is this Abreva!" Well use both and it'll be gone no later than 4-5 days and that's a lot better than 1-2 weeks left untreated."


"Took it for about five days and haven't been able to eat or sleep. Had pain in my chest so I stopped taking it this morning and I've had an extremely high heart rate all day. Doctors were worried but the ECG looked ok they said. I still had racing thoughts and anxiety, Just didn't work for me."


"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."


"It does work really well. I have been dealing with these headaches for about 6 years now and this is the best treatment yet. Headaches are not as frequent, I was having 4-6 a day lasting about an hour, extremely intense. Now it's down to two a day and not as intense. I do also take Imitrex when they are really bad or if it wakes me up in my sleep I noticed drinking a lot of water helps too, I hate these headaches and empathize with all of you."


"Okay. So i just got my skyla put in yesterday

 (6-8-16) and i felt a little pinchy as it was inserted. He assured me it was normal and he walked through the process with me. Pain was about a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. The process took about 10 minutes if that and i was good to go. I had been reading for months about IUDs since this is my first form of BC other then condoms. After reading all these "horror stories" on IUD insertion i had my self siked out before i ever got in there. My doc reassured me once again its different for everyone. After the process was done i felt no cramping, no spotting nothing. After i left the clinic i went grocery shopping then came home and cleaned and still feel 100% fine. Curious to see how my body changes."


"I began my journey with Contrave about 2 weeks ago and still have not had any weight loss. I have followed a strict 900 a day calorie diet, exercise daily, still no loss. I am only maintaining the same. This was a lot of money to just throw away. I am beginning to think any of the weight loss reviews are just some type of marketing scam. Hopefully someone out there got this medication and it actually worked for them."


"This is my 3rd day being on Pristiq and I'm not sure what to think about it yet. I've been really nervous and antsy feeling. I've also had some blurred vision. I'm hoping these side effects will pass soon so that I can get the full benefit of this medication."


"Side effects are terrible. They inlcude diarrhea, dry mouth, in my case weight gain, it also made me agitated. I have been trying to withdraw from it and now have neuromuscular symptoms  of cramping, teeth  grinding, eye blinking."


"I'm 29 and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 22 years old. I had bipolar 1 but with abilify and lamictal, I now have bipolar 2. I forget a lot of things, have become lazy, have gained 25 pounds in a year, have low motivation, tired all the time and have been feeling depressed. I plan on not taking abilify anymore because I feel as if I've lost myself ... I don't feel unique."


"Very good. Works until the next dose is needed."


"70 units of Tresiba + 300 mg of Invokana at bedtime + Novolog on sliding scale before meals = 100-125 blood sugars.  Tresiba achieved that which Levemir and, before that, Lantus could not.  Tresiba has been terrific... so far."


"I have been on Minastrin for 7 months now. It is the first birth control I have ever been on. My OBGYN recommended I get on the pill due to severe cramping and unpredictable periods. During the first month, my breasts were very tender. I could not even stand to have a bra on. The first three cycles I had a strange brown discharge and the fourth cycle I completely skipped my period. However, since then my period has only been a day long, predictable, and very light. Other than the breast tenderness and weird cycles, the only other symptom I had was constipation. Overall, I found this pill to be wonderful. The only reason I am switching is because I have new insurance that no longer covers it."


"I am 16 and this was my first method of birth control. I wasn't good at taking pills so I chose this. In the first couple weeks my breasts felt tender. I only felt nauseous one time. I've had some headaches but nothing too bad. I also got more acne but now that I'm at the end of 3 months it seems like its gone away. I also fear that it will make me gain weight because I have gained 2-4 pounds since then. But I think my breasts got bigger."


"I have a history of kidney infections and a new doc saw me as an emergency and gave me 7 days worth of Nitro and 4 days later I still felt rough so the doctor gave me a longer dose....it's two days since and I hurt EVERYWHERE!! I feel like my whole body is shaking and I have had hallucinations and nights sweats - went to docs AGAIN just now and been prescribed a new antibiotic as he said that nitro has not worked and my fever is getting higher everyday!! Stupid pills "


"I got Implanon about 2 to 3 years ago and it was the worst thing I've ever experienced. I had it in for a little over six months and I bled the entire time, I cramped, I got migraines, so I took it out. So now I have nexplanon and it's been about 2 months. I bled for two or three weeks and then I haven't gotten my period since I actually feel a lot better. The first time with Implanon my head felt fuzzy and it was hard to concentrate but not with nexplanon. I think the experience depends on your age and your hormone levels and if you had a break for a baby or not. I would have to say I like both better then the pill or patch."


"Worked great on allergies, but raised blood pressure. "


"I have been Taking this birth control for a few months now and don't think its that bad! I stopped having period every month which is both a good and bad thing. I have acne but don't mind taking this because it has not made it any worse. I have not experienced any negative side effects. I felt nauseous at times when I first began taking the pill, but that was all. I would recommend."


"My expereince is not good.  It did lower by blood pressure by 15 points, but the side effects are not worth it. It caused me to have problems focusing and concentrating on my work, memory loss, and increased stress and depression.  I noticed the problems the first week I took the medicine.  My boss also noticed the problems, which was confirmation that it was my new medicine.  I went off the medicine and my brain is back to normal.  I am a computer programmer, so my brain has to function at its best.  I wouldn't take this medicine if your brain has to function at top performance or you have problems with stress/depression because it made my depression worse and I felt more stressed out for no reason."


"After 19 years of smoking at least a pack a day I quit using Chantix.  The first week was very difficult, nicotine withdrawals and constantly finding myself reaching for a pack that wasn't there anymore. I did the full 3 month course.  I was really worried that I would fall off the wagon as soon as I quit taking the pills, but it didn't happen.  I had relearned new habits in those 3 months.

The main side effects were vivid dreams.  I've had clinical depression in my past and was not affected with it at all.  I highly suggest taking Vitamin D too. It's now been over 3 years and I'm still smoke free.  It's a completely different life being a non-smoker!"


"I went through a rough patch in life and spent the good part of a year in bars to self medicating with alcohol my terrible anxiety with alcohol. I got to the point I was having alcohol withdrawals in the mornings. Went to the doctors to treat the withdrawals. After 3 weeks on librium and then another two with "as needed xanax (to fend off an alcohol craving trigger)", I went off of everything. About 2 months after my last drink, I was getting a bit depressed at times for no reason. After a couple of weeks of this and doing a lot of reading up, I asked my Dr for Wellbrutrin. He agreed and prescribed 150mgs a day, said the effects wouldn't be felt for at least a month. I'm a month in, focused, no booze cravings and sleep great."


"I had been taking Levora for almost two years but decided to stop because I realized many negative aspects could be contributed to it. Yes, it was a successful birth control because I never got pregnant, but I developed acne for the first time in my life (I'm 21). The acne could not be contributed to anything else - I'm a healthy and active vegetarian with an esthetician for a mother. I also had no sex drive, which was my first major red flag that something serious was out of whack. I also went from a D to an F cup - cool for my boyfriend but not for my wardrobe. It was almost impossible to lose weight. However, periods were short with no cramps or spotting and I never got pregnant. I switched to the lower-dose Lutera this week."


"I have been on this medicine for two months.  I have had one attack since I started.  I do feel a little tired and weak but no other side effects."


"Very effective in lowing my blood pressure but for the three weeks I was on it I had horrible diarrhea (  I was told it would go away in a few days) and subsequently turned into bleeding problems  . I was on stomach meds for over one year after taking it for only three weeks and still to this day suffer from it. Be very careful with this med READ the warnings closely this side effect is rare but not a "unknown" reaction to this drug I was just unprepared and trusted my doctor, boy was I wrong.."


"I started Nucynta the first time and was on a low dose of 25mg of Zoloft. Had been taking hydrocodone 10mg for several years. The reason for Zoloft was for minor depression that the hydrocodone causes. The first two pills I had of Nucynta caused insomnia and weird dreams and a bit of anxiety. Also, I had shivering and so hot I felt I was burning up. Even though my Rheumatologist/pain specialist suggested I give it 5 days, I did not. Well, a couple of weeks later I am trying it again. So far, so good. My pain level is better but not yet all gone. I did have to take a hydrocodone early in the morning as I started having withdrawal symptoms from not taking it. I was told I would not. Glad for Nucynta. I have neuropathy, fibromyalgia, 2 kinds of arthritis."


"Very good."


"So I'm sharing cause I was totally freaking out after I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend 2 weeks ago, he didn't finish inside me but I heard about pre come so 14 hours later I took plan b, I didn't had any side effects I was only tired and I was so hungry, my period was due yesterday so I had to wait 2 whole weeks and I was freaking out and all I did was pray and read this reviews and cry cause It was my first time having unprotected and I was scared I could be pregnant cause I'm still in high school and I'm definitely not ready for a baby but yesterday I got my period and NOT PREGNANT. I hope this helps cause reading this reviews helped me a lot, so don't stress cause that can make your period late. Don't worry. The pill works"


"I have been on microgestin for over two years now, and have had absolutely no problems with. My period always comes the exact time every month. I used to have bad break outs from time to time, but my skin is perfectly clear now. The only thing I have noticed is mood swings, and increased sex drive. Overall I am very pleased with this pill."


"Flowmax worked for two years, started going again 20 times a day. Stopped taking it and became normal."


"Much more effective than methadone for getting clean if you can afford it or have insurance."


"I really love this pill.  Only bad thing is that I spot a little after sex or after a bowel movement.  I'm on my 4th month.  My mood swings were so bad before I took the pill and now I feel so normal and in control.  Less abdominal pain.  Less moodiness.  Less blood flow during my period."


"I believe this is the best birth control I've tried that prevents pregnancy because after 9 months of having it I have gained weight, had mood swings, and have no sex drive to even want to have sex. I recommend this to someone that truly wants to prevent pregnancy and is serious about just that and be okay with the side effects. For myself I'm about to research different ones because this one isn't for me."


"I liked the option of using the patch and changing it once a week and not having to worry about it. Dr said to use back up for the first week. Which we did. As I had never used anything like this and I am paranoid about getting pregnant, my boyfriend agreed to use backup for another week. 4 days into my second week I experienced blurred vision, chills, trembling, numbness of 3 fingers in my hand.. I immediately took off the patch thinking it was messing with me. 3 days after having the patch off I am still fighting the trembles and tingles of the fingers... I am guessing it is from the extra hormones that was being injected into me by the patch. I am giving myself a week before I go back to the dr to try something else."


"I have read all the posts and they all sound very similar. I will tell you I had the problem since I was a small child but it was chalked up as being a bed wetter. No treatment. Got married and symptoms not only worsened with intercourse but was treated as bladder infections instead of sever IC (was never diagnosed until many many years later). After having three children the spasms were so intense with the severe pain of IC I thought I would loose my mind. Pads were my best friend for the most part but would not be able to control the urine with the intense spasms so had a lot of wetting accidents even after taking every med created to treat the spasms to no avail. The vicious cycle became quite depressing. Always making sure I knew where.."


"The Mylan Lidocaine 5% Patches are horrible... not only do they not help with the pain, but they are very stiff once you put it on and when you try to take it off it rips the hair out of your back! It horrible will never use another one again!!!"


"I have been taking this drug almost 3 times a a day for a year , I just stop taking  it , and  had severe or moderate short term memory problems , really scary, could this be withdrawal  also twitches in my hands etc. ??"


"Accutane is a great product, even if taken in low doses. The unfortunate thing is that the acne keeps coming back approx. 8-10 weeks after discontinuing treatment. 7 years ago I went on my first course of treatment, suffering from moderate, sometimes painful acne. the treatment was 80mg/day for 3 months and another course of 50mg/d for 2 months. My acne cleared completely but returned after 2 years, again moderate but sometimes painful. I went on a low dose treatment taking 10mg/day for 6 months. but my acne returned after only 10 weeks. I tried Villantae for 4 months with limited success. I am now back on Accutane 20mg/day for 9 weeks. see how that goes.

What helps me most is sunlight - but only moderate amounts - for a max of one hour per day. I do naturally have darker skin. What also helps on the low dose is loads of sleep and water. Also you should consider changing diet completely, loads of fruit and veg no alcohol or chocolate or salty fatty food. but take your Accutane with food and a glass of milk."


"I just finished a month of this pill and so far it has worked really great. At first I was very unsure and skeptical since it was my first time on birth control. I mainly took this due to my bad cramps and heavy period. The first week was a little tough for me since I had minor feelings of nausea in the morning and threw up 3 times that same week. But after that, everything was great, my skin cleared up, my PMS got so much better (me and my boyfriend used to fight a lot due to my PMS) we didn't even fight this month at all. And my period lasted only 4 days cramp free along with slight bloating which is great compared to lasting 7 days."


"Yes the pain from these tablets is extreme and also accompanied by nausea and occasionally cold or hot sweats but for myself and I'm guessing others it's the only thing that works, the pain is similar to being in labour as I believe the tablet works by almost contracting the muscles in your intestines/bowels to push out what's in there at the same time as softening it. I always find it helps to 1. Only take when completely necessary, if tAken when not needed the pain will be 10 times worse, 2. drink lots of water when taking and 3. when the pain comes to lay on my back rather than on my side, not sure why but it seems to full the pain. I won't say it's pleasant but usually works! Hope this helps!!"


"After 2 months of my doctor giving me non addictive pills to try to treat anxiety, and them working to no avail he finally prescribed me a benzo, and this was the one.

I quit my job, didn't leave my apartment for 2 years, was letting my health go.

I take 0.5mg when needed, and it has allowed me to make appointments, leave my place, and get my life back.

I have been taking it for about 2 months. 1 a day sometimes 2, some days none. Depends on what the day has in store for me. It is long lasting, and will put you in a zone of comfort and ease. It doesn't make me tired or dizzy like the hydroxyzine I was first given."


"Excellent drug! Works miraculously!"


"I have severe allergies indoor and out. I cough constantly due to post nasal drip and irritated throat. I took Xyzal and within hours the coughing stopped! I ran out of pills and took Allegra. The coughing came back the same day. The coughing doesn't go down well with everyone being fearful of the Swine Flu! I am so thankful to have found Xyzal."


"This medication helps with my muscle cramping and helps me relax at night so I can sleep."


"The last day of ovulation I had unprotected sex with a young man that has 3 kids. He told me he came inside of me and for me to take a plan b he gave me the money for it 50.00 a hour after having sex I ran to the nearest rite aid to pick it up. They were all out so they gave me a generic brand FALLBACK solo it was one pill we were a little worried since it was off brand but it cost 46.99 so a little cheaper not much but I took it immediately and I was moody naseous and had a head ache but I'm not pregnant! Yes it worked got my period right on time heavy bleeding but no baby I'm so pleased. No prescription needed btw"


"Took Lo Loestrin Fe for about 18 months - during the first month or two I experienced some spotting and bleeding between periods, but after that my period stopped completely.  I didn't mind it, because I was very good at taking it at the same time every day.

I went off the pill a month ago and my period returned 5 weeks after stopping the pill."


"I am 16 years old. I have been having a sweating problem since I was 12 years old. I would sweat day and night. I would wake up with huge sweat drenched shirts, go take a shower throw a new shirt on and in under 30 minutes. I got a brand new drenched shirt. I am a very social person, I go to a lot of parties, meet a lot of people, even play sports but something always holds me back from going to some parties or going to some places because of this bad sweating problem I have. I would wear different zipper hoodies to hide my sweating problem, wear almost all black shirts, to hide the very embarrassing problem. The very first night I got this medicine, my whole life changed. I am sweat free, and can wear any color I want."


"Fiorinal is the ONLY pain medicine that will help my headache to any degree of satisfaction.  Thanking God for it."


"After 3 weeks of using it, my face is redder, bumpier, itchy and sore."


"I have been on Belviq for now about 5 months. You have to lose a certain percentage by the first 6 months or your insurance wolnt cover it. I lost that amount in the first month! I am very guilty of over eating, but i never really ate too too much just too big portions. I also was skeptical of this because I felt as if I didnt eat when I was hungry I only ate because it was "lunch time" or "dinner time" I am a complete gym rat and have always been, but never got full results because of eating. I started Belviq at 202.1 lbs I now am 182.3 lbs and It only gets better with the day! I firmly believe this should be marketed more instead of surgeries and diet programs. This little blue pill really does change your mind. I don't even think of food"


"I wanted to wait some time before I gave an initial review I got the implant in April. And will be getting it taking out this Saturday. I will start with getting it place , it was very short I was given a local anesthetic and the nurse waited for about 15 minutes until it was completely numb. That was the easy part, I had no pain at all just some soreness at incision site along with bruising.

A week later my hell started, I was on my period for 2 weeks straight with very bad cramps and mood swings. In month two I had sporadic spotting and full blown periods, hair thining. It also caused lack of sex drive. And I started to have headaches everyday. Yes it prevented pregnancy but to me it isn't worth the side effects. This thing is the worst."


"I have been taking Adipex for about 5-6 years. All I can say is that some of you will feel bad or very bad after taking it but most important is to take vitamins and minerals along with Adipex. I had back pain, heart racing then even I felt like my heart stopped for 2 seconds, scary but I started to listen to my body. I drank lots of water, ate loads of spinach and leafy greens and vitamins, vitamins all the time. It is also strongly advisable not to eat any meat or heavy meals. Please remember that despite the fact that you got loads of energy, uyor bowels are sleeping, you can hardly feel any movement in your stomach. Phentermine is blocking the "hunger centre" in your brain. I hope it helps. I have reduced all side effects I've had."


"I'm 17 years old. This is the end of my first month taking Ocella (to regulate my periods). I've been having occasional random cramps throughout this month, which was manageable, but now that I'm in the middle of the sugar pill week, my pain is terrible. These are the worst cramps of my life. But the positive is my breasts got a little bigger, I lost a little weight, and less acne. I also have less cravings.

But the pain is more than I can stand. I'm considering going to the hospital. I can't stand without getting pale and lightheaded, and I've already vomited twice. (This is day 1 of my period.)"


"A little over two years due to a job change and move, I suffered many anxiety/panic attacks.  One of them landed me in the ER.  I was then diagnosed with depression.  I was put on Pristiq and with time it started working.  I took the medication for about 18 months and then very slowly went off.  I don't like being dependent on medication.  My main reason for going off was my sex drive.  You are very limited as to what you can take while on antidepressants.  I am starting to feel like I am slipping into depression once again so will probably start again.  Pristiq worked wonders for me."


"I been taking the pill almost a month the first two weeks I loss eleven pounds. But I be up all night and have to work off of two hours of sleep. I stop taking them and called my doctor, he told me to take a 1/2 pill and if I still be up all night then stop taking them."


"Helps"


"Only medication that has helped the pain and still be able to function."


"This usually helps me get to sleep really well.  It says to take it while you're already in bed but I don't find that it immediately knocks me out like Ambien did. The Sonata gets me to sleep and lets me wake up just fine in the morning.  The only problem is if I wake up during the night and can't return to sleep and so sometimes I take an additional one to help get back to sleep."


"Pros: No remembering pills, easy insertion/removal, never feel it/think about it, significantly less cramping with periods

Cons: First 1.5 months had constant bleeding (but that is very rare now), occasional pain with intercourse (but I just remove it for the time and replace it later), some dryness during intercourse"


"I am second day of this medicine and am considering stopping it altogether. I take 100mg of Morphine x2 daily and am currently miserable on Movantik. Whatever comes out of me is pretty much all liquid after it woke me multiple times to go to the bathroom after resting from severe stomach pain. I am now going to the bathroom a minimum of every hour for all 24 hours. I never thought a drug could make me so sick. I am in so much pain and so nauseous. I am going back to Miralax, at least with that I know the minimum side effects on Miralax."


"I'm on my second month of taking this bc and noticed in the first month my face was very dry. Had a few small breakouts. This could also be contributed from using Glycolic Acid Cream. But I have had some pretty bad bloating and terrible gas and constipation. Though it did help the length of my cycle from 10/15 days down to 5/7 days. Cramps are a breeze compared to before Aviane.  Sex drive isn't high but I had issues with my sex drive before taking Aviane. Pretty bad breast tenderness and growth. If this bc is not the reasoning for my tummy issues then I would recommend it."


"Will never take this again! After one 500 mg dose for a sinus infection, I did not sleep at all. I've been up almost 24 hours at this point. I felt like my skin was burning all night and can barely move now. I'm awaiting a call back from my dr to get another antibiotic."


"Yaz completely changed my life for good. I've suffered from PMDD for many years; to the point that I felt had no life because of mood swings, cramps, migraines, bloating and terrible anxiety.  I've been taking Yaz for a month now and I just experienced my first period on it, 3 light days vs. 7 days (2 extremely heavy days). I have mild cramps still.  I really love Yaz, it also has improved my sex drive!"


"I was given this drug after going to my GP after months of feeling like I was the only person in the world feeling this way thinking I wasn't normal and that I couldn't tell anyone about how I felt. I felt depressed, anxious and after taking this for about 7 weeks I started to feel so much better like my old self again and then I thought I was fine and I stopped taking it but now I am back to being very anxious and uneasy about everything so I am starting them again I would not recommended you stop taking these pills even if you feel you are ready. Always talk to a GP first if you think it's time to stop. I 100% recommend anyone who feels like they need help to get better to try these out."


"This was my first ever birth control experience and although it worked fairly well for the first month concerning period regulation, I had major breakthrough bleeding on my second pack that resembled a heavy, two-week long period on my active pills. My endocrinologist hadn't asked me about history with mental illness before she prescribed me this medication and unfortunately the pill magnified my severe depression progressively throughout my three packs. Because of it, I am more emotionally fragile and cry very easily. My anxiety has been heightened to a point where I can't go outside at the risk of panicking, and I'm constantly very jittery/shaky. I would not recommend this product for women experiencing any sort of depression or anxiety."


"My girlfriend and I were having sex and the condom broke without either of us noticing. Afterwards both of us freaked out, and about 30 minutes later we went to CVS to get the pill. She was on a birth control, but she had just gotten it and she said another medicine she took dulled the effects of the birth control (hence the reason we continued to use a condom). It worked, but my only problem with it was that it made her period a little late so that whole time we were just wondering if it didn't work. It still worked tho, regardless of some of the comments saying Plan-B was better. In retrospect I would've just gotten Plan-B for the extra $10 for the more positive assurance."


"Don't let them Insert it. I had this put in when my daughter was six months old. I have gained 15 lbs, lost sex drive, hot flashes and depression. I feel like I'm losing my mind. I have been on a strict diet and the weight keeps piling on. Never been this heavy or depressed. It's not worth it."


"I've Started Apidex on 7/13 at 158 i am 5'4 now 7/22 i am 150 only 8 pounds down i'd thought i loose more but we shall see on the 27th hopefully i loose another 8"


"I just started taking it about a week ago.  I'm to take it three times a day then 0.5mg Klonopin at bedtime.  Hopefully it works better soon.  My anxiety seems better, I could do without the tiredness throughout the day but it is definitely worth it."


"I would like to let folks know that there is help out there.  I used to pride myself on the fact that I wasn't on any medication until my depression got so bad that I didn't enjoy anything.  I finally broke down and cried in my Doctors office.  It was embarrassing for me to ask for help.  She put be on bupropion at 150 mg 2X a day.  It helped a little but I still wasn't feeling the best.  In my follow up appointment a month after starting it she upped my dose to 450mg a day.  What a difference.  I don't hate my job and life anymore.  I am getting all kinds of things done that I had no interest in 2 months ago.  I would recommend this to anyone that has trouble with depression and had a bad experience with an SSRI antidepressant."


"Maxalt saved my life! It is the only medicine that works for me when have a migraine attack, I swear by it and carry it with me always just in case. It literally gave me back my life, I was ill for days that ran into weeks that went into months. It was shocking, I felt suicidal with having no life and one day was sitting in my doctors room sobbing begging him to help me, and he prescribed me rizatriptan (maxalt). I love it!!"


"Could not tolerate this drug during chemo rx

Hated it prescribed for thee cycles of my red  devil chemo treatment

It caused paranoia constipation which caused increased vomiting and also probably added to the chemonesia issues

Zophran Was replaced by Emend and i had 180 degree different drug and had no issues whatsoever

Zophran interferes with serotonin in the brain"


"OMG I starting using the product about 6 months ago, and I didn't have awful acne, but pretty ugly patches on my cheeks and my lip line. For the first 2 months I followed the directions, but after that I started putting it on at night, in the morning, and before I went out. When I put it on and it dries, it immediately dulls acne scars and small zits that come up every once and a while. My acne scars went away and I have no blemishes and haven't for 2 months and my skin never cracks any more. BE PERSISTANT IT WILL WORK TRUST ME. And don't follow the directions u can use it more than 1 time a day"


"I have only 1 lobe of thyroid after having a weird mass.  For 2yrs the thyroid seemed to do ok.  Then bamm I became underactive.  I flat out told my Dr NO synthetics.  I wanted to try Amour.  I have been taking NP Thyroid for almost 3 weeks.  I do feel somewhat better but have noticed an extreme swing in my mood for a hour or so after taking it.  Also I feel like I wanna eat like there is no tomorrow"


"I am 18 years old. When I was put on this medication I was 17. I started on this pill in August 2015. In November of 2015 I was taken to the hospital with BLOOD CLOTS in 3 major veins of my left arm. I do not have a clotting disorder. I have never had health problems. I went through a major bypass where they removed a section of my vein to replace part of the vein around my collarbone that could not eventually fix itself. I had many balloons done through my arm to try to remove the clots. Currently, I am therapeutic. I take a blood thinner twice a day and an aspirin once daily. This has been my daily routine for five and a half months."


"It just doesn't seem to do anything for anxiety."


"This pill slows my heart down and relaxes me. I actually feel calm. I also take 0.5 Xanax with this and Wellbutrin 200mg. I have agoraphobia and these pills together help me function NORMALLY. YES CAN YOU BELIEVE IT **NORMALLY**. I never thought normal would ever be in my vocab."


"I've used heroin for 2 years after one year it became a everyday thing I was so hooked and scared to stop using as the  withdrawals were horrible - it made me so scared not to have heroin. Being so tired of wasting money and disappointing my family I got the courage to call a Dr I found from suboxone.com..he prescribed zubsolv  After a week on zubsolv I woke up one morning feeling in such a good mood I felt like I didn't need anymore opiates in my life and have so much more goals in life now!! And I can actually see me progressing in life and having the good things it offers....DONT BE SCARED TT GET HELP JUST DO IT!"


"I've only been taking this for four days now, (for depression and anxiety) so way to early to tell, but I wanted to get in right at the start.
I'm on 20 mg, and after four days I'm feeling quite nauseous.  I only sleep for a couple of hours at night, then I wake up with my mind racing with random negative thoughts, though this has seemed a bit easier the last couple of nights
I'll post notes weekly to let you no my experience."


"I never new life could feel so good. I wish I had this 20 years ago things would have been so different, and my husbands life would have been much easier."


"I'm no stranger to antibiotics. I've taken many different kinds. I've had side effects to them all, but Cipro was absolutely the worst. I was prescribed 500 mg twice daily for a kidney infection (klebsiella). I could not get passed 3 days. My tendons and joints hurt so bad. I can barely walk as of this morning. I'm terrified it may be permanent. It worked against the infection, but destroyed my joints.

Please, get a urine culture and see what antibiotics your bacteria will respond to and choose anything but Cipro or any other fluoroqinolones. These side effects can be permanent, or at least last a long time, maybe even a year!"


"Nasty stuff.  First had extreme tiredness, then stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, fever, chills, rash.  Went to emergency. Was on it total of 3-1/2 wks.   Stopped it two days ago, still not well. Maybe go back to methotrexate."


"First time in 5 years that I can sleep through the night without waking up coughing every two hours. Thank you Tussicaps!"


"I am not sure how long I have been on Nuvaring but it can't be more than 3-4months. All I know is that since I've been on it I've had massive headaches weeks at a time and nausea constantly and I wanted to trigger that at my gluten sensitivity and maybe eating something wrong. But apparently some people have been experiencing the same symptoms. Other symptoms I've had:
Constipation, 15lbs weight loss, dryness, crazy hormones, and no desire to eat or have sex. I still have sex regularly but I don't think about it constantly like I used to."


"I would give it a negative 100 if I could. It is being misused for simple infections and has destroyed 100s of 1000s of lives. It destroyed mine. (after only 4 pills). look up Cipro toxicity. Got to the fluoroquinolone wall of pain. Do some homework but do NOT take this drugs unless you are dying and there is no other option."


"I have adult acne and rosacea due to pcos. I have redness, welt type acne, rash type scne, black/white heads on my face. When taking Augmentin, all my skin problems dissappear within 2-5 days and my face stays clear while taking the prescription. Augmentin is a Godsend."


"I have been taking Atripla for just over 24 months. I was recommended to start after my CD4 dropped to around 400 after 2 years of contracting the virus. I was advised to take before bed, did this for the first 2 months and suffered vivid dreams and also insomnia, 3 months later a month of diarrhea. I decided to move my dose until around 5pm on an empty stomach so I could then eat my dinner for around 18:30 each night. Usually go to bed before midnight and have had no further issues with sleep or any other side effects. CD4 on average around 1000  and undetectable. Just weird having to take medicines when you feel fine. I hope I get another 20 years from this medication, by this time I'm sure there will be advancements in treatment."


"Although it seems to work for my mother, for me I had weird symptoms. I was only on the generic brand for 5 days before I had to stop taking the pills. I did not notice any difference to my actual reflux, but apparently it heals your esophagus and reduces the amount of acid. My symptoms included: Complete exhaustion even though I was getting the same amount of sleep and doing the same things during the day as before, I constantly had a dull ache in my stomach, I had a muscle spasm in my left arm for 2 days straight, constipation, feeling sick and completely unmotivated to do anything, I lost my appetite and hardly ate at all, I was easily hurting myself from barely moving (mostly in my back), extremely weak, headache, and swollen lips"


"Very good in anxiety, panic attack and insomnia!"


"This medication is truly a double edge sword. This is only my personal experience with this drug. I liked it but won't be recommending it due to sexual and other side effects.

The positive: It works like a dream...as far as mood it will make you extremely mellow and easy going.

The negative: It will make you shake-tremors. You will still have somewhat of a sex drive but impossible to achieve an orgasm. Weight gain, stomach cramps, restless and trouble sleeping."


"I suffer from mild depression and back pain associated with scoliosis. I hoped Cymbalta could help. It did not help me. Initially (first few days), it was positive mentally, despite side effects: headache, nausea, then bad anxiety. As I took it more, I just started to feel not like myself, lethargic and weak. I almost felt too calm and didn't care. I can see how this might be helpful to those that are severely depressed. I am not. I'm sharing my experience because if you only suffer from minor blues, I would not recommend a strong anti-depressant. I told my doctor it was minor, yet he prescribed me 60 mg immediately. I gave it a month and felt worse each day."


"I am 19 yrs old and have been on the ring for a year! I absolutely love it. It's easy to use and insert, you dont feel it AT ALL (I sometimes have to check if its still there out of irrational paranoia... it always is). (You can have the ring out for up to 3 hrs). I have had few side effects- my breasts grew slightly and the first few months on the ring gave me crazy amounts of discharge, but it lessened greatly after 3 months.
I was worried to take oral birth control because I was completely regular and healthy and didn't want to mess that up. But NuvaRing didn't!"


"I thank God for this medicine! It also has saved my sight and many other things. I have been much better since I began taking remicaide in 2012."


"I work the night shift 8pm-8am, and would often literally stay awake for 2-3 days at a time. I had tried everything which either didnt get me to sleep at all, or would make me feel groggy and sluggish upon waking. My doctor reccomended I try Valium 10mg when i get home from work, and from day one I have been able to sleep 6-8 hours and wake up feeling refreshed, not groggy. I literally cried that first good sleep I got, after 6 months of severe insomnia, something finally worked!"


"I suffered severe sciatica for two years before my doctor prescribed Lyrica. After a few days of building up in my system, the medication completely killed all of the pain, numbness, and tingling in my right leg. It was so effective, I thought I was suddenly cured! I stopped taking the Lyrica and the symptoms returned after a couple of days. I have now been taking Lyrica for two years and swear it is the best solution available for my bulging disk problem."


"I am a 18 year old girl,and since I was 13  I only take melatonin on nights when my sleeping schedule is messed up or I have anxiety about something and it really does help. Both my mom and brother take it every night - they both have insomnia and anxiety - and they depend on it. They can't sleep without it. I don't want that to happen to me so I only take it every so often when I am in need of it and it really does work."


"After a month of taking 8mg daily I have noticed a difference.  I take right after dinner and I have had no side effects.  I am having daily bowl movements.  The bloating has not yet gone away but I am going to begin taking 16mg daily when I get my next refil. So far no complaints.  I was scared to begin this medication after reading all the stories about side effects but as long as I take with food right after I eat I am fine.  I have had a day or two where I have woke up with nausea but it was mild I ate a light breakfast and was fine.  I have also changed my diet to a low fiber low gluten diet as well."


"Best working inhaler I have found."


"Opana is the only thing that can help me sleep through the night when I have serious pain."


"Hi I'm a 47 year old male and have had crohn's now for 17 years. I've been taking one sachet of pentasa in the morning after breakfast. I realise I'm pretty lucky as I lead a normal life, enjoying a pint or to with a curry etc. My only issue from time to time is painful cramps from my back passage, this happens during the night and can last anywhere between 15 mins to an hour, this happens maybe once every 2 months. I have not had any surgery so I'm very greatful for pentasa as it seams to keep my Crohn's at bay. I from Scotland and get my medication prescription free."


"I've been using this product for 3 weeks , in the first few days your skin will get dry but after it will be fine, for me after the first week my acne was disappearing now it's been 3 weeks and I have no acne at all"


"I've been on Pristiq for 9 months.  I feel great and found the anxiety greatly decreased, but have recently noticed my weight increasing despite eating and exercising the same amount. I attribute it to the Pristiq, even though it doesn't list weight gain as a side effect."


"I felt the need to write something because it seems like this gets several bad reviews.

I will say the first few weeks were pretty bad.  Spotting and cramps but that's it - once I got used to the hormones, it's been smooth sailing ever since.  Expect to spot on this (like every other BC I'd bet) but doubling-up for a few days stops that.  No mood swings and cleared up minor acne so I recommend trying it for yourself!  Everyone has different reactions, I did."


"Over the past 8 years I have tried almost every method of birth control. It started after having my baby boy in 09'. I selected to have the Mirena put in after realizing that the pills would be to constant for me. Within 6 months it had implanted into my wall and I had to have surgery to have it removed. (Painful process) over the next 6 years I had gone from using the pill to the shot and having three more children. I recently decided to asked my Doc about getting my tubes tied and he had suggested the Mirena for the second time. I was very apprehensive after he had mentioned it so of course I brought up my issue. I elected to have to it inserted and am now happier than ever. No issues so far and we're past the 6 month mark!"


"I have been using testim for 6 years now due to endocrine induced low testosterone count. Overall it has increased my libido and the smell is great to women.
I take half tube per day (about 25mg). However, I experience joint pain all the time notably on my fingers obviously used to rub the stuff on my shoulders. I also feel pain under my feet. Getting up and trying to walk in the morning is a struggle. The symptoms disappear after 15-20 minutes. And the joint pain is less noticeable in summer when it's warmer.
Last year I slipped and fell on my shoulder resulting in a comminuted fracture. I'm worried testim might be causing osteoporosis. My endocrinologist and Dr are aware of my symptoms but haven't offered any explanation to date."


"This drug has some weird effects when taken with food so make sure you take it on an empty stomach (which is usually the opposite) when taking it. It made me very spacy and my mind was fuzzy. Wasn't able to sleep well but it did take the pain away."


"4 week update: Well I'm a bit disappointed. I started Dec 28th, 2015 and was doing well until the past couple of weeks. Brutal constipation and upset stomach. Gastritis attacks. That was on 1.2 dose. Dr told me to stop it for a week and then try again at 0.6. I am going to do this as I really like the med. It lowered my blood sugars from 13 to 5.7 and I am losing weight and the appetite suppression is great. I tried to forge through the side effects but my stomach was too bad and I was missing work. I don't want to scare anyone about this review. Just give it a try. I was scared at first. Will update again when I re-start."


"Took this medicine to treat pain from surgery.  Stopped taking after two days.  Nausea, vomit, light head, dizzy and headache. Glad I was able to pinpoint the association with my misery and Norco."


"Over 30 years of Irritable Bowel Syndrome with constipation. Dozens of ER visits by ambulance. Severe abdominal pain, back pain, vomiting, fainting."


"Love this product. Produces such astonishing relief and am very grateful to have been prescribed Flonase by my ENT."


"Causes too much daytime drowsiness. Works well as a sleep aid but, there is too much carry-over sleepiness during the day."


"I am 23 years old and I started at 242 pounds. After many attempts with weight watchers, exercise programs, and boxed meal plans I decided it was time to seek help from the Doctor, I felt terrible all the time. I was diagnosed as a pre-diabetic and the Endocrinologist prescribed this for me. I have been on this medication about a week. I have already lost around 4-5 pounds, I feel better. The only thing I have had trouble with is sometimes I will go most of the day without eating and get a headache from it. My portions have shrunk with ease and I don't feel hungry or want to eat all the time.  Also the website for Qsymia was able to help me with the first month of this since my insurance will not cover it for $75."


"I am 86, in good health and play tennis twice a week.  The bone on bone problem started about 5 years ago and the orthovisc has been a blessing.  I heard about its effectiveness in only 50 % of people treated and am so glad it's working for me.  No problem with the injections.  I can feel when I need another shot - probably about 8 months."


"I really get excellent relief from this medication. It's very hard to find, but if you are to get a prescription for it and if your pharmacy knows you well, they will reorder it, if your taking it monthly, while deciding over surgery or to continue physical Therapy. The nerve pain associated with my accident and compression fractures, and my nerves is a bit to much. I also find great relief in the lidocaine patches, another very costy form of relief, but I will pay the monies, to not suffer from this pain. It can be unbearable! "


"May help an occasional Constipation, but for chronic IBS, did not help me. Water trickled out after approx. 30 minutes after taking  Linzess then nothing but severe cramping. A WASTE of money. A lot of cash. Took as directed, for 21 days, notified the gastro, he told me to discontinue use."


"I have had Implanon for about 3 months and I LOVE it so much. You don't have to remember to do anything and I have little to no side effects. I haven't gotten a period for two months which I have seen is normal. I don't have mood swings. It's wonderful. I'm only 18 so it was good for me to use while at school and with all of the things going on in my life!"


"It works and I feel safe about taking it. My family has used Vick's products most of my life."


"Great medication when used properly. Spend some time and get the correct dose (I'd wager it's never correct the first time they write a 'script).  I started at 50mg and immediately had to go to 25mg because it was too much for me. Do not stop taking this medication or change your dosage without doctor's orders, though.  This medication is also good for anxiety.  But, it has nothing to do with hair loss or other symptoms of aging.  C'mon, guys...you can't blame one very targeted, subtle drug on every malady you experience in your body."


"I had this implanted in March of 2017 after giving birth to my son. Since having the implant I experienced extreme sweating and constantly feeling like my body was on fire. I was literally dripping sweat from head to toe with very little exertion. I would take a cold shower and I would still be sweating in the shower! The only thing I could attribute this to was nexplanon. Another side effect is having the sensation of pins and needles down my arm into my hand (still experiencing) and zero sex drive. I finally had my nexplanon removed 2 weeks ago. Hopefully those side effects will continue to diminish over time."


"I've been on lexapro for several years. I have to say for some the initial side effects can be overwhelming, but stick with it because it will help most of us. You can train yourself to overcome the sexual side effects, and weight gain can be controlled through proper exercise and diet. I'm not an active person, but have to remind myself to hit the gym several times a week. Doing so will greatly and positively affect your mood as well, so just pretend like you have no choice and GO. Also please remember there is no "magic pill" we have to take responsibility for our own happiness, which includes lots more than just taking antidepressants! Hope this helps some!"


"FYI -- I tried various high blood pressure meds, most with some serious side effects.  Amlodipine was helping better than any previous, but had some nausea, swelling, dizziness, etc.  Decided to try taking 2.5 pill 4-four times daily instead of one 10mg pill.  Made a huge difference.  Seems my body can handle everything with only slight side effects by doing this. My doctor said he'd never had a patient do it this way, but due to my good effect, has now put several patients on Amlodipine in this manner.  By breaking it up, the body seems to be able to tolerate it well.  May not work for everyone, but for me it was such a blessing."


"I started on this medication 4 months ago. Followed instructions and take the Bydureon out of the refrigerator the night before. My wife gives the injection as I would never be able to do this myself. The needle is huge! It burns going in and the nodes take many weeks to go away. To this day heartburn, painful gas in lower abdomen, pain at base of neck, very low energy level where I must lay down about every three hours. I am 5'9" 172lbs. I walk 40 minutes on treadmill every morning and do jumping jacks and burpees for exercise. My A1c went from 8 to 8.3 on third visit to Dr. Waiting to see what the numbers will be next week. Just this last week my nipples got swollen, enlarged and are very painful."


"I took this medication for a respiratory infection.  It gave me severe, relentless diarrhea that I am still suffering from a year later.  I have been hospitalized numerous times from it.  It has completely disabled me."


"I have limited history with psych meds & I haven only tried two other antidepressants (Zoloft and Remeron). Both were awful for me. Side effects outweighed any minimal benefit they may have had.
But since taking Prozac, nearly two weeks ago, my mood has changed entirely. I take it in the morning and it gives me a sense of purpose and excitement to experience the day. Before, I was having panic attacks so bad before work I would consider calling in.
Prozac has not had any negative SSRI side effects like I had with sertraline, but I am going to continue paying attention to how I feel over time on this. My anxiety is minimal and melatonin currently has me sleeping like a baby. I hope it never stops working for me.
For now, this medicine is great."


"I have GAD with some kind of

OCD that make me stay focused on my worries so long time. I keep overthinking about my feared situations etc...Vistaril is highly sedating so that it's my number1 drug to fall asleep. It provides you with a relaxation when you feel tense and anxious. When the anxiety attack is so strong it's better to take a higher dose than usual. I think vistaril is better than benzos because hydroxyzine's effect is more stable and lasts longer during the day. I take it up to 4 times 1 or 1,5 25 mg pills. It's really useful for anxiety and stress."


"I've been on this medication for seven months. Before this I was on YAZ for five years (with no issues) but after constant recommendations to switch birth control brands from my doctor I made the change.

I find this pill makes me extremely nauseated with terrible head aches the first week of the pills.

I want to try a new one but don't know which on to try."


"My mum has been taking Lyrica for around three years. It has been a huge problem! Drugs.com has a page on Lyrica's Side Effects yet it doesn't mention is that it can cause a stroke.
My mum has had three mini strokes. It has given her dementia, incontinence, she can't walk properly etc. She has many of the side effects mentioned. The doctor is slowly taking her off Lyrica and she almost back to herself."


"This drug can create absolutely horrible stomach problems. I went from having no stomach issues to horrible IBS, all due to Beyaz.

My sister was on the same birth control while I was on this drug and was also experiencing the same symptoms. I got an IUD and went off Beyaz and my stomach started feeling better. However, it took almost 9 months for my body to fully recover. Horrible side effects for a birth control, would not recommend it to anyone."


"After adding Vimpat to my Keppra regime, my seizures dropped to nearly nonexistent. I have tried most all other seizure meds, but this 1 worked for me. I realize everyone is different, this med worked for me with few side effects. I will gladly trade a few side effects versus a seizure."


"Weird vivid dreams feels like I'm paralyzed  and can't move.I do feel rested though"


"VERY MIXED RESULTS. Had a severe attack of shingles on the face and scalp (3 weeks in most of the hair on one side of my head was literally gone). I refused morphine (in hindsight, I should have taken it) but I did take Percocet which helped the internal pain but not the nerve pain in the skin. For that they gave me Neurontin, but I could not tolerate it due to extreme drowsiness, loss of appetite, loss of concentration and dry mouth (before I could chew food it was too dry to swallow it). Tried Lyrica 75mg 3 times daily. First dose seemed to really work but effect declined significantly so that the fifth dose had no effect.  During the fourth week he increased to 100mg 3 times daily. Second dose helped then effects declined."


"Best over the counter that really works for chronic or IBS quickly! The generic brand is the best priced and works just as well as the name brand for me"


"Chantix was a quit smoking miracle drug.  However, I did go from six pack abs to a beer gut within two weeks.   It did help me quit smoking but it either decreased my metabolism so much that I gained weight, or it acted like a sugar pill to make me gain wait.  I started running (which I never did before) close to five miles a day. I had never run while I smoked. Yet, I gained the weight. I do agree with Chantix as it helped me quit smoking and feel better, but I did put on some pounds... I went from model to six pack within two weeks."


"I give this a two due to the simplicity of it. However, I am a completely different person. I have mood swings; I have daily or weekly mood swings, I'll be ticked off for a whole day, then crying about nothing. I have had mood swings before and get over them. I don't get over these ones. My boyfriend has told me I am not the same person. As everybody's doctor has told them that everyone is different. I don't have my period, which is okay but can't handle the mood swings, I notice it during everyday life. I am actually getting it taken out."


"I was just put on divalproex about maybe two weeks ago I found it really helped with my sadness. Before this one I was on tegretol and it was the horrible it made me wanna kill myself my mood swings were out of control. I felt hopeless unwanted and I was raging out of control I almost lost everything cause nobody could or wanted to be around me. So I hope this one helps me now so I can live a somewhat normal life."


"Bought an over the counter lidocaine creme recommended for waxing pain numbing by the pharmacy and I felt no different even after an hour. Seriously useless. Don't waste your money."


"I'm on my 2nd week of taking Aviane, and so far I've been dealing with insanely annoying mood swings. I have been extremely emotional and it made my period last longer than it normally does. Also I got dizzy after my 3rd day on the pill and occasionally get a bit off balance. I'm going to try and stick it out for a few months but after that, if I'm still like this, I'm going to see if I could switch medicines."


"Provigil works great for me, at 200 mg once in the morning. I usually feel dull-witted and fatigued, but I don't suddenly "switch off". After about a week of steady doses, however, I often develop a bad headache and have to quit taking the stuff for a few days. Maybe that's a good thing, if it keeps me from getting habituated. Ritalin did nothing except make my hands shake."


"One Maxalt-MLT usually gets rid of the migraine in an hour or less. Occasionally, I need another one 2 hours later to really get rid of it for good. Rarely, even the second one did not quite do it for me. But this is still the most effective medicine that's worked for me, after trying 8-10 other medicines (over-the-counter and prescription)."


"I have had mild acne my entire life.  I'm 33 years old and after trying everything finally tried Claravis. The first few months the acne was worse.  The following 3 months I would have my normal breakouts. Finally after 6 or 7 months I just stopped breaking out and haven't had one pimple since. I'm on my last week of the meds and am sooo happy! The dry lips sucked I kept chapstick on every room of the house at work and in the car but still so worth it to not have to feel the need to load makeup on my face before I leave the house! My advice to everybody is to give it at least six or seven months before you get discouraged and stop taking it!"


"I had to stop taking this after three days. I am prone to depression but I haven't really had a bad episode since I was in my early twenties-I'm 31 now. I was so deeply depressed and disturbed from taking Estarylla that I threw away the package with the rest of the pills for the month. I was crying and I had a migraine at work which is hard to explain to my co-workers and makes me look bad. Also, I felt a weird detached type of feeling and I actually felt like I wasn't in my body. I've been really sleepy and I've had vivid dreams tool. I've taken many other brands of birth control and this was the worst experience that I've ever had!"


"I'm a 21 year old college student. I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy without Cataplexy recently, even though it's been there basically my whole life. I'm currently on 250mg Nuvigil in the morning, and he's going to add another medication soon to help my brain sleep at night. Since I have such anxiety levels and it affects my sleep. It has helped me stay awake in class, but I still can't focus. I really don't feel much difference. I still take naps a few times a day, and I feel like the medication wears off by around 2:00PM and then I'm falling asleep again. The side effects I'm feeling are daily migraines, extreme cotton mouth, and sometimes an upset stomach."


"When they tell you Mirena can cause irregular periods, they're not joking. I had read a review that someone wrote saying they ruined every pair of underwear that wasn't black, & they definitely were not joking either! Before Mirena I had very heavy periods, I mean super plus in 3 hours on day 1. Mirena has lightened that tremendously! Although in the past 2 months, something has gone haywire! Last month, I had a 3 WEEK LONG PERIOD. It would stop for one day, then kick start as if it's day 1 and on all over again. I am currently on my second week this month, so I called & asked what I can do. They said there's nothing! It is a hormone, so it effects everyone differently. Otherwise, I'm not pregnant, & my 3 wk periods are lighter!"


"I had Kyleena inserted on Friday, 9/29. Let me just tell you, it hurt like all hell. I suggest taking Ibuprofen at least an hour before hand, I did not. This is where I went wrong. The process was not very long, but it was very painful. After the process was over I cramped for the rest of the day, but Ibuprofen took care of the pain. The next day I was crampy all day and sluggish feeling. Yesterday, Sunday, 10/1, I felt good as new. Today I feel a bit on the depressed side. Not sure if it is from the IUD or if it's just me. I hope it does not get worse. I will update once I go back to the doctor in 4 weeks!"


"My 7 year old daughter has been on Concerta 18mg for a year.  She started to tolerate that medicine, but I did not want to increase the dosage.  My doctor recommend we add Kapvay to her current concerta dose.  This has made all the difference.  She is no longer bouncing off the walls, jumping on the couch, or leaving half way through a meal.  She is engaged, focused and less moody.  Her emotions are more regulated and we did not tell her teacher but she even commented on the change without us sharing the news.  We are so happy, and this medicine is worth the time it takes to condition to the sleepiness that happens in the initial 2 weeks.  Hope the changes stay."


"I felt better on Zoloft but the symptom of diarrhea was too much because it wouldn't go away. I was on it for a whole month and for the last 3 weeks on it the diarrhea was unbearable. "


"My finger was partially amputated and reattached.  Vicodin didn't help the pain but Percocet is excellent.  I only take a small dose so the pain is not wholly gone, but I don't care once I've taken it. It has made this manageable and I sleep well, too."


"I applied it about 15 minutes ago and this itch and burning I driving me insane.. I keep squeezing my legs together and moving like I need to pee (but I dont) .. even tho this itching and burning is horrible I've used this medicine in the past and thank God it does cure the infection. If only there was no burning or itching I would give it a 10 for sure.. I thought I was allergic at first but I'm glad to know I'm not alone.. hopefully I get some decent sleep tonite"


"I was prescribed Geodon for Depression with paranoid features. It worked well as a mood stabilizer and I didn't really notice any side effects during the day (I took 160mg at night) except for some initial appetite loss. However when I would take it with my evening meal (you have to take it with food), within 2 hours I was extremely sedated to the point of not being able to keep my eyes open.
I went off the medication after a month as I didn't feel it was helping me enough to justify taking such a strong drug. "


"I have been taking Xeloda 500mg. for approximately 5 months with only a few side effects  I am on one week and off the next.  I am tired during the week I am on with occasional diarrhea.  I have noticed my hair thinning more but not too extreme.  I don't have any hand or foot peeling as others do.  I sleep really good and my appetite has not been affected.  On occasion my gums feel a little tender.  The best part is my tumor markers continue to drop in number!   This is working for me."


"Qysmia is working for me!! On for 3 mths did trial for 2 weeks. My insurance covered it because my BMI was over the range so the cost per mth for me was 30.00. So I'm almost done with my mths. And go back to my doctor for check up. As of now I lost 18lbs. I feel so much better. It really does boost your metabolism. You do get the tingling in your hands and feet sometimes. You get a little moody and sometimes you can't sleep. Most of all its helping me lose weight I haven't been able to lose in years! That's very important to me. Also drink lots of water no soda or alcohol. I also watched my bread and junk food. Try to cut carbs as much as you can. Try to walk around the block every night. Exercise with this really helps alot! Good luck!  %u263A"


"I was prescribed this medication to be used in conjunction with Spiriva Respimat; within twenty

minutes of taking the first dose I became light headed, my face began to have a tingling sensation

and my mouth went numb!  I told my doctor that I refused to take the drug due to the side effects

that I was experiencing - she agreed.

I am obviously intolerant to the combination of drugs - Stirverdi Respimat may however prove to

be beneficial to other patients."


"I've been prescribed this antibiotic many times.  I just realized that with my current course for a skin infection that I sweat profusely when I take this.  The last time
I had episodes of profuse sweating was the last time I was on this!  I don't see it listed anywhere as a side effect, but it seems to happen to me every time I take it. "


"I am 39, got a prescription for this duac once a day cream and am 4 days into it. It is the 1%/5% one but maybe the 1%/3% one would be kinder. In the area I get hit by acne more - my chin area - it is producing more, albeit smaller and painless, pustules even if it has wiped away one really big ugly pustule spot in that area. Though grateful I am now left with very dry itchy flaky skin where that spot was. No matter how much I moisturise.  I am telling myself that it is only because my chin area needs more work and the cream brings these to the surface to then kill them eventually?? Other  parts of my face I apply it to are not left this way. Ease of use is fine. Oh yes fridge storage is for pharmacists not users. It says so in the leaflet."


"Well I had sex on 1/8 and goofed so I went and bought the pill and my period started on 1/17 and  was supposed to start on 1/14 but was still happy either way
But now its 2/22 and nothing so agh I really hope it worked but most peoples seem to come earlier with this and not later so just hoping. I'm just stressed :("


"Took the medication for 35 days, was onto my second script, when I got loss of taste, my mouth tasted like sour milk 24/7, when eating sweet food I couldn't taste the sweet, and anything sweet made the sour milk taste in my mouth worse. Also eating dairy gave the same effect. Eating salted food was tasteless. Great DIET PILL, as everything tastes so foul, including water. Went to the Doctor, says stop taking it, and the foul taste could last for several weeks, return if still no good in six weeks. My toe nail was starting to look better, but needed to complete the course. Will have to revert to natural method tea tree oil. Also got headaches with this medication, although that could be due to lack of water as drinking water tastes sour."


"I just finished my first week using Epiduo. I have mild acne and oil skin. Details day-by-day:
-1st and 2nd days: I felt no difference at all. My skin was just the same before starting the treatment. Not much to say.
-3rd and 4th days: I was surprised because new grains were appearing. I didn't know what was happening untill I researched about it. Issue is that Epiduo pulls out your grains and then kills the grain spot so it does not respawn again. So it's normal if new grains appears meanwhile you are using it.
-5th, 6th and 7th days: Started to feel a bit of stinging sensation in the areas where I was applying the cream. Be really careful to not apply in the eyeslids. Also, my skin started to peel-off and it's very dry."


"I started taking Buspar 5mg twice a day due to anxiety of my Mom being in the hospital. Let me tell you how it affects me...positively. I take it along with Prozac 20mg once a day and the combination works WONDERS for me. I take both in the morning and the Buspar in the afternoon around 4pm. What a difference!!"


"This pill was to be my rescue from painful periods but I have only enjoyed 1 mth period free and I am on my second 90 day pack! I have had my period (spotting) for 1 month straight.  I am skipping the placebos, but no guarantees that the spotting will stop. I may just have to go on a monthly because the appeal of this pill is quickly losing my interest."


"I am miserable without Drixoral. Like the other reviewers here, I have found it to be the only formulation that gives me relief from my sinus symptoms. I've been a loyal user for years. And I'm annoyed that the antihistamine that makes this drug unique isn't available in any other formulation. I'm frustrated and CONGESTED!"


"I have been taking this for 2 months now and I've lost 15 pounda! I probably would have lost more if I could put down drinking cokes.... don't get me wrong I did cut down on drinking cokes but I didn't put him down completely. I exercise a lot and I only eat one meal a day! This pill really works but the most annoying side effect is the dry mouth! The dry mouth is horrible other than that everything else is OK."


"Was on Vivelle 0.05 plus Prometrium for 4.5 years; felt great. Stopped for 1 year because I worried that being on HRT for 14 years (Prempro for 10 yrs.) total was risky & maybe I was now "beyond" the hot flashes, etc.  Well...I felt lousy the entire time I was without HRT (1 year)..hot flashes, sleepless nights, brain fog, etc.  Now I'm back on Vivelle Dot & Prometrium...feeling so much better! I don't think I'll ever give up this. Plus the estrogen helps my osteoporosis & vaginal dryness."


"I have been on Microgestin for a few years.  For the most part my experience has been very positive: I have not experienced unusual mood swings, weight gain or changes in sex drive.  The pill also regulated my period, which had been very irregular before, and my cramps became much less painful.  After long term use, my period became lighter and finally disappeared, which makes me paranoid about pregnancy, so I use an over the counter test every couple of months.  At the same time I also became drier and drier until sex became very difficult.  However, I have been able to combat the vaginal dryness pretty effectively by making sure to stay very hydrated all day long and especially where exercise or alcohol are concerned."


"I've been on Tri-Nessa for about a year. But I have had one pretty serious side effect, vaginal discharge. I honestly did not think about it being a side effect when it started. I went to my doctor and they treated it as a yeast infection but nothing helped. My doctor told me I was just one of the few women that had regular discharge. Now that I have been off of Tri-Nessa for only a month, the discharge has stopped. I am now going to try and change medications."


"I have been taking Paxil for 5 months. My anxiety had gotten so bad that my wife took me to the ER at 3AM thinking I was having heart issues. I visited my doctor shortly after that and he prescribed Paxil. After a few days of taking it, I felt so much better - finally, relief! I didn't even realize I had so many symptoms of anxiety until I was on Paxil. I feel better than I have in two years. HOWEVER, there are sexual side effects (decreased sex drive and difficulty achieving erection and ejaculation). Since I'm a newly married man in my mid-twenties, these side effects are very frustrating. Other than that, this drug has been very effective in treating my anxiety."


"Started using Mirvaso -- the first 3 days it worked great was so pleased,but as the days went by it started to leave my face red and itched so this was and is not the med for me now have to wait it out to see if my color goes away"


"I sleep very well on this, but I do not feel rested in the morning."


"After many, many, many medications, this is the ONLY one that has ever helped!"


"I probably was always prone to mild depression and the odd mood, but the strain of looking after my aged and ill father for about 4 years 24/7 took it's toll.  As my wife said at times it was like treading on eggshells with me.  I was put on 50mg of Sertraline and after a week or two I felt human and happy again.  I came off the tablets last week after about 3 years (had tried after one but it was too soon) and feel fine.  If I suffered any side effects then not sure what as some things could be put down to getting older although not too old, just coming up 59, but feeling tired at times and yawning is about as bad as it got.  Maybe some colic but easily sorted with the very occasional domperidone pill.

Anyway for me Sertraline was good."


"I live in New Zealand. I took less tan 25mg once a night (I'd break it in half, sometimes even quarters) and it helped me sleep, reduced anxiety, and helped stabilize my mood. I took this with 40mg of fluoxetine. I've returned to taking it with 225mg of venlafaxine a few times to ease anxiety when needed.

After about 12 months of taking it, I began to feel very lethargic, and generally slow, and my short term memory basically stopped existing. I had to stop taking it then.

I wish it were available to 12.5mg tablets. My main issue was having to take more than needed due to the tablet size."


"I have been taking Savella for 5 months now. In addition to that I take Ambien, Xanax and pain pills when needed. Previously I've tried Topamax, Lyrica, Amitriptyline, Clonazepam, Cymbalta, Nortriptyline, Paxil and Zoloft.
Savella has little side effects for me, weight gain, and upset stomach. I have more energy and less pain; please understand that the pain is not gone just easier to manage. 5 months on the medicine and I am going to continue."


"This medicine works really good for me."


"I just got skyla yesterday. The pill was not working for me and I mentioned maybe wanting skyla. Before I knew it my gyno was in the room with the kit read to insert it. So I was not prepared so I didn't take any pain killers. My cervix is very far up so she had to clamp it to pull it down. The insertion was the worst pain I have ever felt down there. Felt like knives turning as she inserted it. After I was unclamped the pressure started to go away. I went home and took some tylonal and a nap. I woke up and went to work for 12 hours. Worst decision of my life. I recomend staying home the day you get it done.It's day 2 and cramps aren't horrible but still are there and I'm spotting. I'm to afraid to put a tampon in or try having sex"


"Small warts on penis - gone within a week.

Side effects: redness, slightly itchy, slightly tighter foreskin. Try allergy medicines to ease itching.

"


"Right after insertion I thought "here comes relief" .....then the burn hit. I'm lying on floor trying to ride this out but it is painful beyond burning. I feel like I have acid up there. I don't do reviews but this product needs to be discontinued and every package remaining burned so no one goes through this."


"Extremely important medicine for me with Lymphoma low grade stage 1 under my right eyelid. Very rare location for lymphoma. The first time I did 4 sessions with Rituxan in Jun/2010 and now March/2011 the second time. The pictures show my eyes before and after and big different this medicine made. Thanks doctors and nurses for brilliant work. Itchy was my first side effect and second time no side effects at all. Highly recommended."


"I'm highly disappointed with this injection. I took my first shot of Depo shot Dec 2016 was fine for 28 days where I thought I was having a normal period. Since January 26th I have been bleeding, cramping and literally passing clots daily to date Feb 16th. This is so misleading. I have gone through tons of pads and this is becoming so depressing. I would never I say never ever take this injection again."


"I have been taking Elavil for over 5 years now and I must say it has changed my whole outlook completely. I was diagnosed as bi-polar, depressed and an insomniac. This medication has improved all three of my conditions."


"I have now just taken my 4th injection, I'm as bad as I was if not worse than when I was first diagnosed.  I can barely walk, have swelling in my toes, feet and ankles, as well as my left knee.  Also in my elbows, wrists, hands and fingers ... I have bad psoriasis on my scalp.  I don't think this medication is very good at all and have shown no response to the previous 3 doses and this dose I have been nauseous every since taking it .. I was on Humira previously for about 5 years but I stopped responding and Embrel I had really bad reactions too ... Hoping for something new when I go back to specialist end of month"


"I had Nexplanon inserted on 2 Sept 2013 and its the first method of birth control I've tried. I'd read where it is the most reliable, so went for that option. No pain during insertion or afterwards. Only had a period the first month and nothing since then which feels a little odd but is also bliss! Completely forget it's even in my arm most of the time, however my moods are horrendous, I cry far more than I ever used to, I snap at people and I never used to, I feel very anxious or conscious and often feel exhausted. I don't know if these are side effects of Nexplanon as I'm in my final year at uni so it could be stress etc., but I'd imagine it is the increased hormones. All in all I'd say I've had a good experience most of the time."


"This is the 4th medication I've been on and the hardest one to work through. I suffer from mainly anxiety and PTSD not so much depression. I am also extremely sensitive to medication and have experienced all of the side effects. Pristiq made me more depressed than ever, and knew this was not me. I was always tired, then I halved the pill and its worked wonders!! Anyone suffering mainly anxiety I suggest you do this before jumping ship. I have my energy back, and going to the gym almost everyday. I also dropped weight using this medication. I'm getting back my life after losing to this drug for almost 3 months. Please Try HALVING the tablet- best advice ever given :) Now I can go back on teaching rounds without suffering social anxiety."


"Tried it for 10 days. For me, it worked no better than OTC sprays and my nose still runs like a faucet for two hours each morning."


"This drug should be taken off the market, It kills your immune system and the side effects never wear off.  I had three injections in 2002 and am still suffering from what has happened to my body.  The joint pain and hot flashes are unbearable. This medication has robbed me of enjoyment of life.  It's only purpose is money for Big Phar and ease of surgery for the doctor.  No Benefit to the patient at all. Do not take this, it will ruin your life."


"This medicine literally saved my life. I toook 75mg and the first day I took it, I noticed a difference in my mood. I woke up in the morning and actually felt like getting out of bed. I smiled and enjoyed being around people and was in a pleasant mood. I was getting my life back! The only side effect I noticed was that I was pretty nauseous the first week and lost my appetite. But, it wasn't bad at all! I stopped taking the medicine suddenly when I found out I was pregnant and the only side effect I noticed when I stopped was being dizzy for about a week. But that could've been because I was pregnant too. Unfortunately, I had a miscarriage, and started taking Effexor again. Looking forward to being happy again."


"Only reason why the Mirena gets a star is because I didn't get pregnant. Extreme pain on implantation, and I have a high pain tolerance. I experienced extreme dizziness, headaches, mood swings to the point of breaking down once a month, cystic acne, headaches, and extreme bleeding. Constant cervical irritation and bloating with no sex drive. Would never recommend it, even though it did its job. I was convinced it was misplaced based on the horrible constant symptoms. When I went to have it removed the nurse acted as if my symptoms were crazy, she had never heard such a thing and my IUD was placed "beautifully" and tried to convince me to keep it. I could have killed her. Final got it removed and back I'm back to being a healthy 28yo."


"I had a $1,000 dollar a month heroin habit. 3 days into withdrawal I went to a Methadone clinic. Was on Methadone, 150 mg's for 6 months before I started a 5 month taper to jump to Subutex. While Methadone kept me clean, it really slowed me down, I just kept going up & up in mg's. The taper off Methadone was brutal. Was induced onto Sub last October. The first 3 weeks on 16 mg's of Subs I had a lot of speedy side FX, feeling really wired, insomnia, I was nervous it wouldn't go away bc I *hate* being anxious, feeling fast. Third week in the side FX just stopped. I could sleep, I was normal. I'm on 24 mg's Sub, I had a big H habit, I feel 100% normal. I do not crave junk. It saved my life. Been off H since Dec 2014. I love life! Miracle med!%u2661"


"I was using up to 15 Lortabs a day until a friend referred me to a local clinic. I never thought I would come clean. It's amazing that I have no craving's for Lortabs or Loricets anymore."


"I've been on the ring for 3 months. My favorite part is how low maintainence it is. I was worried that I would feel it or I wouldn't know the proper way to insert it but I can't feel it once I pop it in and my doctor said that as long as its in then you're doing it right. My sex drive is still the same. I just don't get wet if I don't drink a lot of water. I think I get dehydrated easily on the ring. My boyfriend can feel it during sex and it hurts him but I take it out. The only down side is my period. I get really moody and a heavier flow."


"I started Victoza on 6/24 at .06 and the side effects were minimal.  Little bloated feeling; nausea but never vomited.  Then one week later increased to 1.2 then that's when the side effects got more intense; 'egg burps', diarrhea, gas, but no vomiting.  Not much of an appetite and glad to say I've lost 14 lbs and BG is 109 in a.m. and highest I've seen after eating 2 hr reading 140.  These are very good readings for me as I've never seen my a.m readings that low.  Last Dr visit my A1C read was 7.5   Just going to stick with this regime of Victoza and see what my A1C read will be come Sept ...wish you all the best if you chose this RX"


"I took plan b within 24 hours after unprotected sex. A few weeks later I got side effects that I figured were from the pill, but they were similar to pregnancy symptoms as well. I didn’t stress about it much, then when my period was late I figured it was another side effect. 10 days of my period being Iate and  finally took a test, positive. I got pregnant even though I took plan b within the 24 hour span. Maybe I was ovulating too closely. I think this medication does NOT work if you’re ovulating or about to ovulate. Keep that in mind."


"Wellbutrin XL has so far been a miracle pill for me. I was always in a deep cloud of depression and my mind was always so "foggy" I could never focus or think properly and I was always too depressed to even get off the couch and do a load of laundry. I started on 150mg for a few weeks then moved up to 300mg.

Now I am loving life again, things that had no appeal before are amazing again. I've also lost a ton of weight while taking this, probably because I'm more active. I also have had some slight constipation (not bad at all only slight at times) not to mention an increased sex drive. It seems I can be in the mood 5 times a day. The wife can't handle all that extra me time. "


"Aleve worked very well for my neck and back pain but I had side effects... shortness of breath, feeling faint, and my tongue started to swell. I stopped the medicine and was okay the next day."


"I was on Errin .35 for 6 weeks and decided to stop taking it due to having my period for all but 3 weeks straight. Only had small breaks in between like a day here or there and just when I thought it was done it started again. It also make me very tired to the point I would fall asleep in the middle of the afternoon if I wasn't actively doing something. I started it mainly because I am done having children and my periods were terrible because of my Fibromyalgia. The cons of taking this far out-weigh the pros for me. I would rather just feel like crap for a couple days a month than deal with periods lasting weeks."


"This is the first birth control pill I have ever been on and I have been taking it since January. It is good for the most part. However, when I first started the pill, I bled for about three weeks straight like a crazy period and I am constantly dealing with bleeding between periods. Often it seems to be caused by having sex with my boyfriend. Sex seems to be a trigger to start bleeding. I'm still the same happy person I was before I started the pill, I just bleed a whole lot more than I used to."


"Approx 1 week ago I started to feel and see a little dot starting to swell.  I called my Dr immediately to request a prescription for Valtrex.  However, my pharmacy provided me with the generic brand.  I used the generic for 4 days 500mg the swelling slowed down but I could still feel the itch and new the generic wasn't working.  I had a prescription put in for the name brand Valtrex after 1 day the dot started to go down and dry up.  Valtrex is the way to go for cold sore survivors."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This was much better than 12 years ago.  Suprep seemed to work almost immediately for me, and I just parked on the toilet with my iPad!  The taste wasn't that bad and the benefits outweigh this prep thing!"


"Completely amazing. This product really works if you're like me really worried about going out because of excessive sweating. This product is for you, I only use this once and the next day it stung but I was completely dry not a single drop of sweat so the pros far out weigh the cons the pain and the cost are worth the payoff. Would recommend this to anyone. I am using extra strength there is mild pain but works for me there's also a mild version. Give it a try."


"Afrezza is truly a remarkable therapy.  My levels are flat, my post prandial highs are done away with.  It seems to mimic the pancreas and gets into my system fast and expires within an hour.  My energy levels increased, I use it with my basal insulin and I have never felt as healthy in my life.  I have better feelings in my hands and feet too which was unexpected but welcome.  I am based in the UK currently and cannot get it here.  This is a huge disappointment as injectable insulin is so inferior."


"Better concentration, increased motivation and mobility, eliminated food cravings, faster acting digestion and fluid loss, increased thirst, increased weight loss and inches, moderate increase in blood pressure, increase in overall physical stamina, and a significant decrease in depression."


"I have been on the pill since December 29th. It's now March 6th. I'm only 17 years old and i got on the pill for acne and very irregular periods. I'm sexually active also, yet i did not tell my doctor or mother. I don't think that ths pill has really set into my body yet. I still have terrible acne and my periods haven't been light and regular every month. I don't know what it is. I hope this pill will work eventually. Any advice? Just wait and see? Answers!"


"I've had the Implanon since August 2007.  No pain when inserted.  I've been having my periods twice a month for 7 days each time since I got it.  I've gained 25 pounds and have hair loss.  I get headaches, and back aches around time for my monthly cycle. LIBIDO is gone, no desire to have sex.  Needless to say I am now single.  It's time for it to come out, but I'm thinking about getting it again because the reviews I've read for other birth controls have me scared!"
