"Hello all! I didn't see enough ovulation plan b stories, so I thought I would share my experience.

After the deed was done, I noticed the condom was broken, I checked to see if I was ovulating (which I was). I got upset and made my boyfriend drive to the nearest pharmacy and pick up plan b. I took it within 2 hours of the condom breaking.

It thickened my cervical mucous and kind of expelled the left over semen.

The next 2 weeks was filled with cramping, nausea, headaches, breast tenderness and anxiety.

The cramps felt like implantation cramps (one side and sharp).

Also turned out to be NOT PREGNANT :)"


"I seem to be having a lot of irritation and eyes are watering constantly, also very blood shot. Hope this all passes."


"After a few intense months of panic and high anxiety, I finally was brave enough to try this medication. I have tried other SSRIs in the past, but usually found them very agitating at the "normal" doses, so I have learned to start and stay very low. After a month of insomnia I finally decided to give Paxil a try. I started at 2.5mg. The first few days were fine, I felt sleepy and a bit lazy, but at least that was better than high-strung panic. At about a week, I started to experience some small benefits, and some fairly harsh side effects (nausea, diarrhea, derealization, increased panic). At a month, much better and I was sleeping well again. However, getting off this medication after 5 months was really challenging and uncomfortable."


"Got diagnosed may last year after losing a third of my body weight. Had viral load in the millions and cd4 count of 90. I kinda suspected I might have hiv from the night sweats. So got diagnosed, and put on Atripla. I had visions of throwing up all the time and a life of misery.

So, I started taking this stuff, 1 a day as per docs recommendations. I chose 10pm as my time as it seemed the best for me. No side effects, no feeling sick, nothing. Within 6 months was undetectable, weight back on. Live in uk, so meds are free. There are no restrcitions, you can drink etc. Many times I've washed my pill down with a sip of wine.

I feel that I am a symbiotic lifeform. I like it, feel great,my grey hairs have gone ."


"6 weeks. Taking it for nerve pain in my back as well as depression. I've lost 9 lbs, stopped snapping at my kids over every little thing and not had an argument with my husband since the day I began taking the pills. 60mg a day. I fear withdrawal, but only a little. A friend who has been on it for many many years has to pay for hers, and she goes a week or two at a time without due to finances, and she has never had a brain zap or bad withdrawal at all. My Doctor told me about 10% have a rough time.
All I can say is I believe things might get better for the first time in years, and I am hoping and dreaming and making plans again. Trouble with orgasms. I'll live with it."


"I'm 18 and I just started birth control for the first time to help with acne and my doctor prescribed Levora. I have only been taking it for 4 days and I have an extreme decrease in appetite. The first day I felt fine, just not hungry, and the second third and fourth days I have been very nauseous every morning and I think I have lost weight. I am hoping this will go away and my skin will eventually be clear!"


"Bad, could not sleep at all.  Zolpidem is the best."


"Both my roommate and I are on amitriptyline for our migraines. We have both missed a dose a few times and have experienced the same side effects. We felt really anxious and felt like we had to be right next to someone. I felt extremely nervous like I was going to have a panic attack and I was perspiring a lot."


"I have chronic sinus infections that are not unbearable...mostly annoying. I was prescribed to Avelox recently and am halfway done with my dose. I have had some seriously horrible reactions to this drug. Granted, it is obviously helping with my sinus infection but the dizziness, nausea, light headedness, dehydration, and overall sick feeling is worse than the sinus infection itself. I am glad that I will no longer have an infection in my body but isn't there another way? This is awful!"


"Perfect!"


"I have had migraines for 30 years. For many years i just suffered and pushed through no matter how bad it was. About 10 years ago i started with migraine fog and could not focus or remember anything to the point i was at my grandmas house all the time just so she could watch the baby so I wouldnt forget to feed her or take care of her because i was in such tremendous pain. ER visits were frequent and the local ER put me on the drug seekers warning. I was suffering 15 plus days a month!! I have tried every trip drug on the markert and sumatryps made my face feel on fire, turn bright red and nose bleed. Then my neurologist said try this... And let me tell ya it was a GOD send! I love it!! Best stuff ever!$$$"


"No doubt that Cialis is one of the best. I'm 58 and have been taking the 20mg Cialis for several years with very positive and long lasting results. I've found out that cutting the 20mg by half still give a good and hard erection and alleviate the side effects such as headache, lower back pain and blurred vision. However, I think that Cialis could be better in a softer form for a faster reaction (It takes a few good hours if taken after food and drink)."


"Tylenol is the only thing that helps my pain right now. Cannot function otherwise. Cannot sleep either. Even prescribed pain meds did not work as well."


"I was on the brand Singular 10mg for a month. It was helping and everything was fine with no side effects. I ordered a refill and I got the generic. I took it for 4 days. Since day 1 I was feeling bit weak, I thought it might just be a bad day. Then on day 2 it started increasing. I took the pill for 4 days and then stopped it. I had really bad anxiety and am not able to concentrate. Have a lot of bilateral head pressure and brain fog. My doctor while prescribing this medicine did not tell me any of this side effects. I have decided to do a research on a drug before taking it. This is a clear case where doctor is not aware about the side effects. 2 days off, still have anxiety and brain fog."


"I have been on this drug for 3months and have not had an attack of Atrial Fibrillation, the only problem is it makes me very tired."


"I love it. It really works."


"My history is spinal fusion/neck ~7 years ago- plates and screws in my neck.  Now have 3 bulging disks in neck also. 6 discs removed from back (spinal stenosis, herniated discs, scoliosis)- have 6 metal plates, two steel rods and 14 screws~in back. The surgeries did help- but still have pain, burning, & pins and needles sensation in neck, shoulders & arms. Burning pain in hips, and muscular soreness through out my back. I've been on pain meds for years and wasn't getting a lot of relief. I discussed with my MD and he ordered Voltaren Gel. I can't say enough how much relief I receive from this medicine. Can sleep better, pain much less. I've even begun hiking again!"


"I took Viagra last night for the first time. Took 50mg waited 50 minutes and nothing. Took 50 more and since last night I've had four strong erection 4x what I normally have had. Strongly recommend. Much more confidence in myself."

"I have only been on this medication for 5 days and I haven't slept in 5 days. Going to stick with it for another 5 days and see what happens."


"I had an out break and I let it go for 3 days and I came to know that is SHINGLES My clinic diagnosis confirmed I was adviced to take acyclovir for a period of 10 days (400mg) five times a day. Even though the blisters were out I am getting that shooting pain 4 to 5 times a day a burning sensation and as if I am attacked with 1000 sharp needles in one time and this pain in my skin frustruates me for the last 8 days. "


"I got this a week ago from my doctor, I've been having severe back pain and shooting pain. In the past I've tried everything pain killers, lido patches, steroid injections, physical therapy. I put on 2 grams of the gel and the agonizing ache that I've had was gone in no more than 30 seconds. I still get the shooting pain but that's a nerve issue. I really, really love this gel."


"I went from having to go to the bathroom 5 or 6 times in one night to just once BUT, I had severe shortness of breath. Had to quit taking it."


"I have chronic constipation. Nothing has helped including Amitiza."


"Sweating and constipation are my complaints. I was on citalopram for years but stopped working. Two days later, on Lexapro, I'm feeling much better. I have more energy and sleeping much, much better. Two weeks now, I'm fine."


"Father was almost himself again with aricept but it gave him uncontrollable diarrhea so he won't take it."


"Srry for my bad english ,"


"Ive taken this on and off and for 7 years and it helps with my joint pain and hair loss. It just takes time so be patient. The fatigue is almost gone as well."


"I'm taking 50-100mg per day for hip/lower back pain, the cause of which is still unknown. It enables me to keep working (I am a cleaner) and walk my dog, do housework, etc. by taking the edge off the pain. I think it's exacerbating my pre-existing insomnia though. Also I am on Cymbalta and Topamax and worry about the combination causing seizures. I would hope the pharmacist would warn me if there was a danger."


"I had side effects that are difficult to explain. I felt like I was decaying inside and never felt right about a month or so after starting -- I missed a few doses one week due to not having my med and being away from home and I felt better after just two doses missed! I had an MRI 6 1/2 months in and had active lesions on my spine - brain MRI showed minimal change but in the same breath no improvement toward lesions and size. I had vision blurriness that I never experienced my eyes would go weak 2 min of focus, I was told not due to the medicine. My other meds were not as effective as they were prior to starting Aubagio and my Lyrica was tripled in dosage. My skin was dry and I depression got worse and depression was better once stopped."


"I'm 58 and have always struggled with my weight, thyroid and other issues. I have been on Victoza for about a month and lost eight pounds. I admit much of that is because I have no appetite. That makes it easy for me to make healthy choices when I do eat. One thing that I have noticed is that Victoza definitely slows down the bowels. I think it's imperative to up the liquid intake. Because of the bowels I think it's difficult to really gauge the weight loss. I go down a pound and up two the next day etc. I think taking measurements or trying on an old pair of jeans is more accurate in seeing the real weight loss. I can tell my health is improving and I feel like if I'm patient this will get me to my goal weight of 155. 32 more to go."


"I really wish I had read all these reviews before I started..I started taking Seasonique a little over a month ago. I absolutely LOVE the idea of rarely having periods. Seeing how when I do have them they are heavy for over a week normally. Except I have noticed a major change in myself. I cry over EVERYTHING and get angry over EVERYTHING I never used to be like this. I didn't have too big of a sex drive before the pill but now its completely gone. I also recently have been getting terrible shooting pain in my stomach. "


"Stopped my mixed episode very quickly!"


"I just got back on April  and it's day four and I have already gained about 5 lbs. My acne is about three times worse then normal - granted I don't have perfect skin, but it's really bad at this point. I have kept the same routine as in the past same diet and exercise. I don't recommend Apri to anyone that has ance."


"Epiduo is fantastic. I've only used it for 3 weeks but my skin is so much clearer (I had moderate acne). However it is a prescription treatment and you have to be careful with it: use it sparingly and just once a day, more won't work faster. The best way to do this is to buy a gentle cleanser and moisturiser (Cetaphil and Eucerin are fantastic as they're formulated for skin undergoing acne treatment). Cleanse and moisturise morning and evening, and follow with a very thin layer of Epiduo every evening. The dryness and flaking disappears after 10-14 days, so be patient. If your skin is sensitive, the best thing to do is to apply Epiduo after your moisturiser has sunk in. This creates a barrier but the treatment works just as effectively."


"Causing horrible headaches and nausea."


"It took care of my endometriosis but the side effects were terrible. Not so much the hot flashes but the mood swings/depression. "


"I'm 24 years old and I would have to say Mirena is the most effective birth control. But with that, of course there are some side effects. I've gained about 30lbs, very heavy mood swings, I break out more than I normally do and I'm always hungry. I've had it for a year....my partner loves it, no complaints from his end. It is very convenient...the insertion was painful but after a month it was fine. I get a light 2-3 day period every 3 months which is great!"


"I just had my Implanon removed after 2 years. I loved not having a period and not having to worry about pregnancy. However, I did have mood swings and even though I work out every day and eat healthy, I always seemed to stay the same weight. I used to blame the mood swings on the situations that stressed me. However, I came to realize I was not thinking clearly. I traced it all back to 2 years ago. Since the Implanon my depression from my younger years crept back in and I had to seek treatment. I don't want to totally knock the Implanon."


"I used this medicine when I was younger for acne and hated it because it made me break out even worse.  However, since getting older with less acne, I started using it again for wrinkles.  While it does initially cause small breakouts (my derm said it will get worse before it gets better and to hang in there), it's worth it in the end.  Within a few days I had shed what seemed like an entire layer of skin (like a snake!) and revealed baby soft, smooth, glowing skin with far less noticeble lines, acne scars, and discoloration.  I'm extremely please with the results and can't live without it now.  I love looking in the mirror now.  Give it a try, be patient, and you'll be happy with the end results."


"Have been using it since released, Excellent.  Injections were a pain.  No complications, no negative sire reactions.  Pump is the best way to go."


"I got the implant in 2014. It was fine until about August and then I started my period and it was very heavy I went back to my doctor and got put on another birth control pill to make it stop after a couple weeks it stopped. I had a bladder infection and they put me on antibiotics and I was back on my period for 6 months. My doctor wanted to do a DNC on me and I had old blood from being on it for so long. They then switched my birth control pill again. It stopped for a couple months and when it started back up again my doctor put me on an estrogen pill cause from me being on the 2 birth controls for so long I had a thick lining around my uterus and it was trying to thin out. I'm currently on my period and have been for 4 months."


"Tylenol with codeine #3 does not work for my cough due to bronchitis. I took the meds as prescribed for two weeks. Never worked."


"Contains boric acid which is toxic.  Used in insecticide, nuclear power plants, and plastics.  Should not be used."


"I am a 2 year survivor  of metastatic breast disease to bone.  The injection itself is painful, but very few side effects for me.  Tiredness, pain at injection site and sore throat are most persistent side effects.  I like the fact that I only have to get it once a month."


Amlodipine / hydrochlorothiazide / olmesartan

"it makes me pee a lot and sometimes ill itch all over like crazy

have been taking this for about 2 years on and off -

im hypertensive at 165+/90 and have had good results with this pill with lower readings of 140/...

the only real issue i have is the constant urinating and itchy skin"


"When used properly and appropriately and for the purpose prescribed this medicine is extremely effective.  I have very intense chronic back pain following two failed surgeries and after trying many different medicines to help with the pain (as well as non-drug therapies) oxycodone is the only medicine that allows me to have even close to a decent quality of life. "


"I've been on Reclipsen for a month. I started it to see if it would decrease my flow and cramps.  My mood dropped drastically when I first started. Depression usually last for a period time,  so I wasn't depressed. However, my mood was very low to the point that it was scary. When my period came it felt like the worst ever. My flow and cramps were bad. I have other side effects as well, such as nausea and headaches.  I'm going to see if my body adjust to it for two more months only because I need a solution for my periods. I've been on birth control in the past and I've never had these side effects."


"Started taking this 3 days ago for AF and find that it makes me really tired few hours after I take it. Bit foggy too and feel bit nauseous

On 1/2 a pill a day

Will see if the side effects go away with time.  If not will need to reconsider with the dr if the benefits outweigh the side effects"


"My son tried every prescription spray out there for his allergies. QNasl finally worked for him! He loves that it's not a drippy wet spray- it's more like a fine powder. It stays where it needs to be. He loves it. I can tell when he forgets to use it because he has a runny nose and watery eyes again. Only occasionally when pollen counts are extremely high does it still gives him breakthrough runny nose. Most of the time it's as if he doesn't have terrible allergies at all. Worked miracles for us!"


"I was suffering from severe hot flashes ever 35-40min all day, severe day AND night sweats, chills, feeling hot & cold at the same time, I was extremely miserable.  I could not go to work, my social and love-life came to an abrupt end.  I would get soaking wet and had to remove all clothing every 35-40mins.  IT WAS HORRIBLE!  This went on for 3 months.  Everyone kept telling me it was not going to last long, maybe just a few YEARS.  In no way was I going to go for years feeling that way.  My doctor prescribe Brisdelle 7.5mg 7 weeks ago and my life is 90% back to normal. Once I started taking this medication, the sweats, chills, and severity of the flashes stopped.  I only have mild flashes and hopefully they will end. too."


"I got the Skyla put in about three weeks ago. I made my appointment before work thinking I would just have some mild cramping (I can take pain). Nope. It was all good until the doctor got to my uterus. I'm 19 with no kids, and this was the most uncomfortable pain in my life. I could barely stay still and I was screaming on the table. When he was finally done I went pale and felt like I was going to pass out, doubled over with the worst abdominal pain ever. He got me ibuprofen but that did nothing. I had to make an emergency call out to work and I had to stay in the office for at least 45 mins. Could barely drive home and horrible cramps at least 5 hrs after. Now I just take ibuprofen some days I have cramps some days I don't."


"Works fine - no side effects other than thirst in some degree"


"I'm going on my 3rd week taking this and for me it has caused, In  the first week or two, a lowered libido (sex drive) and vaginal dryness.. and I'm 16!! even when I'm with my bf and I'm turned on, I'm not even really wet at all.. and this causes irritating and painful sex unless you have lube. Before this I had no problem getting wet. This is the first brith control I've ever been on so I don't know if all this is supposed to go away after a couple or few months but honestly I don't think it's worth it. I've also been experiencing breast tenderness (usually in the morning, it feels like I'm going through puberty all over again lol) perhaps and little bit of breast enlargement (which hey, I'm not complaining about) and abit of mood swings"


"i use it for arthritis pain they thing i have fibromyalgia, it has worked great!! also has helped the pain in my heel where i have a spur...nothing else helped that...its wonderful!!"


"53 years old using this medicine for high blood pressure for around 6 years. It controls my blood pressure but I gained weight, specially on my legs, increased urination, no headache, no pain on my chest, breath well in general. It is better than other medicine I have been on before."


"Prescribed Flagyl and Cipro for diverticulitis and both worked well.  Hard to tease out which caused some of the side effects, however Flagyl seemed the milder of the two.  Bad pill taste is no problem but the metallic taste tainted everything.  So glad to hear others experienced heightened/changed sense of smell!  I thought I was going crazy!  No nausea with the Flagyl alone but about an hour after adding the cipro the exhaustion and nausea are awful.  Also, dark urine and diarrhea which are unsettling but sound normal."


"My son was on this drug for about 4 months and the worst things happened.  He went from mild acne to the worst acne one can imagine.  It was horrible huge cystic acne.  We went to the doctor month after months with disgust in how bad his face got.  Eventually I pulled the plug and brought him to another doctor who agreed after showing him pictures that this drug was detrimentally ruining his skin.  He switched him to clarvis and within a couple of weeks it was clearing up.  My son's self esteem was detrimentally affected along with his skin. He will now need to have some type of resurfacing done to get his skin back.  We have pictures to prove what this did to his skin!!"


"I had episodes since I was 5 yrs old and none of the doctors I went to could help me. These episodes would last for 24 hours before I started to fell better. That would drain me mentally and physically. When I was 23 I was told that I had Meniere's disease and need to start on a low sodium diet no more then 2500 mg a day I'm 26 right now. That helped until I started to have a episodes three times a week and that was having a huge impact on my life. My doctor gave me Valium that I take three times day and that was a life saver in my view. I started taking it over a year ago and no major episodes yet."


"I have had Restless Legs since I was a teenager.  All antihistamines aggravate this condition.  Not Astelin, This is a dream come true to take care of my non-allergenic rhinitis, while not exacerbating my Restless Legs.
Thank you so much."


"I have a severe allergic reaction. I had extreme rash, with blisters all over my body, including the inside of my mouth. This happened after taking it for three days. It wasn't a positive experience."


"Topamax is by far the best migraine preventative I have ever tried. I take 100mg at night and have even been on 200mg - 1 100mg in the AM and 1 100mg in the PM. My neurologist and I discussed Topamax and figured it was worth a shot since my chronic, daily migraines were uncontrollable and I was getting Imitrex injections almost every week and could no longer take Toradol. Unlike other people, I have very few side effects. I weaned off Topamax once to try Gabapentin but it by itself wasn't enough and my migraines returned full force. Very few side effects: trouble finding words, thirst, and weight lose (not that I mind). Topamax is a wonderful drug and a LIFESAVER. It and my Gabapentin together is my divine combo!"


"I've been on Vyvanse for a year. I take 50mg now and I wouldn't say it's a miracle drug, but over the past year I have attended more classes and gotten more consistent grades in university. I definitely have to put in the effort to experience the benefits; it's not motivation/focus-in-a-pill for me! The side effects I've experienced are increased anxiety, dry mouth, increased perfectionism, irritability, and some insomnia. Its impact on my mood varies. At first, my appetite decreased and I had terrible afternoon crashes, but they have levelled out over time. Overall, the pros outweigh the cons for me. I haven't tried anything except for Wellbutrin, which I still take. Not sure how they interact."


"Been taking viibryd for 2 years now.  Was only on 10mg first few weeks nausea and loose frequent stools each week thethe symptoms lessen and I could feel the benefits.  I was happy and relaxed, no decrease in sex drive and didn't have any of the side effects that I could notice (chronic back pain,  gi issues, and difficulty sleeping my whole life). My doctor gives me samples and coupons when he can but it is extremely expensive."


"I would hide at home for months, shaking when a telephone rang. I couldn't let people go and had obsessive thoughts. Abilify gave me calm, confidence and hope. It made me less sensitive to light and time, I was no longer at the mercy of each passing moment. I woke up relaxed, went to bed without a noise in my head, inner voices stopped criticizing me, thoughts didn't race. I was creative but focused, and began wonderful new projects. Had NO side effects- NO weight gain. 'Worked magic that first day. But after a month it seemed to do nothing but make me sad. Evidently that was a manic phase. It blocks my mania, but not my depressive switch. Feels like I've traded manic depression for unipolar depression. I am being switched to lithium."


"I have anxiety/panic attacks and fibromyalgia. Fun! So, unfortunately I get sick with Lyrica at higher doses where it actually kills the fibromyalgia pain. After months of trial and errors, we've finally found that 100mg of Pristiq, 20mg of Methadone, 225mg of Lyrica and 300mg of Tramadol is the only thing that will stop the pain. For the anxiety the Pristiq helps and also 3mg of Klonopin stops the panic (also took months of trial and error in addition to therapy). With this large amount of depressant style drugs, at times it was very hard for me to stay awake during the daytime. 150mg of Nuvigil for me has totally solved this problem. The first week I felt strange and over stimulated, and now I just feel normal and awake, from 6:00am to 10:30pm."


"So allergist gave me sample, have been using Flonase.  The after taste is awful but worse is the subsequent coughing, nausea with vomiting shortly afterwards, slight headache.  Did not realize extra tiredness was also from this.  It does feel like the nasal passages are opened up more but the morning porcelain throne is not worth it. And no not pregnant! Ain't possible. Definitely will inform MD."


"I was having the venous closure procedure done and when the doctor injected the medicine I immediately felt my heart rate increase and I felt light-headed. I also had chills.  My blood pressure went up to 169/98 and normally runs around 110/70. Also a week later I developed a blood clot in my leg."


"I've been taking Contrave for a week now, I'm down 6lbs. My appetite is curved and only crave water. I have put together a workout plan I do everyday to help. Yesterday I didn't drink enough water during the day and I was sick to my stomach. As long as you stay hydrated it's great."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I used Suprep one year ago to prep for a colonoscopy, and asked for it again specifically this time around. (Colonoscopy is tomorrow.)

The taste is tolerable. I used a straw and sucked 16 ounces of it down in 3 fell swoops, and chased it with some plain water each time.

It began to work for me within approximately 20 minutes. I had slight cramping, which is to be expected given the nature of the product. I also got a little chilled, which I suppose has to do with my electrolytes being thrown out of whack.

All in all this works well for me.  I’m just glad that I live in the day and age where a colonoscopy is an easy and available procedure."


"This dandruff shampoo is AMAZING. I have scalp psoriasis. I've tried ALL other dandruff shampoos. I even elocon lotion. But no matter HOW much dandruff shampoo or elocon I use, I STILL have a lot of flakes, even after a good hair wash. BUT I tried this shampoo, & even after just ONE application, when I got out of the shower, for the first time in YEARS, absolutely NO flakes. Not even one. Brilliant product. I LOVE IT"


"I got the Equate brand of the 3 day pessary treatment. Second time I've used the product. I have never had issues with burning. I do, this time, have some mild abdominal pain... but nothing to the point where I want to stop treatment. Just inserted last pessary and nothing.

Didn't give it 10 stars because the packaging for the pessary is hard to open. I have flung every one across the room... and the cream that comes with it needs to be a larger tube."


"I've been on it for a week at 5 mg. I take it right after dinner so my stomach is nice and full, and have had no experience of nausea. I haven't noticed much in the reduction of anxiety but it's too early. Had stomach aches the first few days but those went away, and feel hot constantly but otherwise the side effects have been pretty manageable. Hopefully it starts to do more in the way of anxiety as I am starting 10 mg in one week!"


"I have fairly severe Ulcerative Colitis & after 4 months of feeling horrible, tired, bloody diarrhea with the constant urge to go & fear of eating & setting it off again I was finally diagnosed & put on Lialda - 4 pills once a day. At first it caused horrible gas & bloating & took about a week or so to help the symptoms at all but after a few weeks the symptoms were completely gone & the side effects went away as my body got used to the medication. Then about 1 month into taking it I developed horrible cystic acne all over my face, neck, chest, even in my nostrils & ears! My Dr cut the dose in half to 2 pills once a day & within a few days my skin started to clear & heal. I have been on the lower dose for about a month with NO PROBLEMS!!"


"I am 41. I had been on Effexor for a couple of years, so when I was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer I carried on with the medication.  I started taking Tamoxifen about a month ago.  So far I am very fatigued, have headaches and some physical aches and pains.  I take my Tamoxifen in the morning, with my breakfast, because that seems to calm the nausea that I can get with an empty stomach.  The best thing that I am experiencing now that I am on the Tamoxifen is the ability to cry and work through emotion.  That ability had left me while I was just on the Effexor, I still felt sad, but didn't feel like I could cry.  Well the tears come now, and they feel cleansing and good.  I have much less anxiety about having a cancer re-occurrence."


"I had a terrible experience with Mucinex. I followed the protocol for just over 1 month hoping to feel some relief but I felt really heavy, like I had a bad flu, and had worse pain. I think most people are experiencing relief so give it a shot; it just didn't help me."


"I've had severe anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, and agoraphobia for 13 years. I was on Valium, 10mg twice a day. I've tried Ativan and Klonopin too. Xanax is the only one that actually helps me feel normal. Within 15 minutes of taking it, I can begin to feel it start calming me down. This is excellent when you're facing a panic attack. No side effects, other than sleepiness.  I can actually get out of the house when I take these. Having agoraphobia is no fun at all. Whenever I want to go somewhere, I will take my Xanax around 30 minutes prior to leaving.  If you suffer from anxiety, or any of the things mentioned, this med will help you out tremendously!"


"I have never felt so out of control in my life, the severe anxiety was terrifying. The tapping sensations in my face and leg were so acute,it was intolerable. I am now bleeding when I urinate. Constipation and swollen stomach are awful. I am only on 375my X 2 per day. I've stopped taking them yesterday have felt a lot better, but had a angina attack this morning. Waiting to have a conversation with my gp. Via phone. I am due for an angiogramme on this Friday, toponin
 levels after my last hospital episode were 3 on arrival but after twelve hours were 26. WAS TOLD NEED ANGIOGRAM. can anyone on here tell me what to expect and if any of your experiences are similar. I also had a tumor removed from my ureter, and have had bladder cancer. "


"First night took a 60 mg around 9p.  Woke up at 3am, 4am and 5am.  Around 6am super nauseous and puked several times along with explosive diarrhea.  A few hours later same thing.  Had no energy and felt lousy all day.  My body was useless.  Next day felt wiped out from previous day.  Better following day.  Never took again after first pill.  My body rejected and anything that volatile I don't want to try and 'get used to'."


"I was prescribed this for depression-off label, added 20mg to my Paroxetine. It seemed to help greatly with the depression, but I had to quit after 7 weeks due to Akathisia and extreme dry mouth. Dry mouth was so bad, I begun to get sores on the inside of my lips. I’m nervous about not taking it, because it helped a lot. My Doctor upped my Paroxetine when I quit the Latuda - I've got my fingers crossed!"


"I was only recently diagnosed with ADHA, in Australia this product is listed at a reduced price (pbs) at $31.00 (aud) sadly if you have been diagnosed over the age of 18 the price of vyvanse sits at $113 being over the age of 18 I have to pay full price, financially un-viable I had to research other products to see which product(‘s) were under the Australian pbs, the only product that is listed under the pbs for people diagnosed over 18 is ‘dexamphetamine’ which I am about to start, if the product was more affordable I would not be changing over"


"I just got my Skyla put in (8/2/16) and honestly, it really comes down to how well you can handle pain. I handle pain fairly well and it did cause discomfort as the procedure occurred. My doctor explained it to me in 3 steps. Measuring your uterus, holding your cervix, and insertion, which means only 3 really tough cramps.

Luckily, I was able to drive myself home right after and haven't felt any kind of discomfort. So far, I'm really loving it and I'd say do your research, ask your physician and if everything's checks out, do it. The pain is well worth it."


"Very expensive cannot afford this medicine. Along with Metoprolol it has lowered my blood pressure but I have noticed tremendous amount of hair loss."


"No negative side effects. I was on depo for about 10 years off and on. No periods, No pregnancy."


"I've suffered from acne prone skin since I was about 10. And let me tell you after years of suffering from low self esteem and being made fun of I am in love with Yasmin. I've tried Pro-Active and other face cleaners but nothing worked.

My face took a month or so to improve, it's not all completely gone, I do get pimples every so often. Yasmin has helped me with emotional issues as well. I'm not so moody and I feel so great on it.

I definitely recommend it."


"I had the skyla inserted a few days ago and I love it! I wasnt on my period when I went so my doc gave me 1mg Xanax waited then gave me 2mg Xanax tyloneol 4 and a cortisone shot waited in the waiting room with my mom, 15 minutes and I was out of it 2 nurses carried me back there don't remember the procedure at all nurse had to help me get dressed went back to waiting room told mama I wanted burger king fell asleep in the car an slept the whole day. They prescribed me 800mg ibuprofen haven't had to take it once, already had sex. So far so good"


"I  have been taking Invega for 3 yrs.  I just increased from 6 to 9 mg. I take it in the morning as part of a bipolar drug medicine therapy.  I still take Prozac and lithium as well.  I  didn't have any side effects starting Invega.  My moods are 99% controlled. I'm still bipolar and have very infrequent mood swings but they are not as long or as severe. I did gain 20 lbs. My quality of life has greatly improved."


"After recently getting into a serious relationship, I decided to get on birth control just to be safe. After realizing I wouldn't have to take a pill everyday and there would be a possibility I wouldn't have a period with the shot, I instantly fell for it. (Terrible periods) for the first 3 months I have no side effects except I had a period every 2 weeks for 2 weeks at a time. The second shot (next 3 months) I bled the entire 3 months, started to gain weight and started to get mood swings . The next shot instantly stopped my bleeding, at this point I am up 20 pounds and have no sex drive at all. Shot 4 still no period or bleeding, no sex drive still. Not to mention I'm up 35 pounds at this point . I do not recommend the shot at all !"


"My sixteen year old son began taking 15mg of the generic Focalin and had great results, unfortunately the side effects are beginning to bother him after one year of successfully taking the medicine. It seems the gastrointestinal issues are making him weary and he has asked to discontinue the medicine despite the stellar grades. Hoping a switch to a lower dose may work."


"Started weight 287lb and in three months dropped down to 227 with normal life activities. Never thought I would see that again I tried the gym but never could get their with my knees and the weight I had gained"


"I do not recommend Tamiflu whatsoever. The first night it gave me diarrhea. I will admit my flu symptoms improved the next day. However the second night I experienced extreme soreness in my right arm and shoulder that made it difficult to sleep. The third morning I took my first pill of the day, less than an hour later my face, chest, and stomach were covered with hives. I also had slight dizziness. I immediately stopped taking it. I am a healthy young adult and a medication has never done this to me. Wish I would have just let the flu run it’s course."


"I love this patch I've been on it for about 6 months now and I haven't had any issues with it. For me I'm constantly on the go changing routines so when I started looking into going on birth control i already knew the pill wasnt gonna work for me. I wouldn't be able to take it how your supposed to for it to be effective. So I  thought I was stuck then I saw something about a patch. The more I read into it I was like I can do this. change it once a week for three weeks outta four easy enough. And as for my period its done wonders I always had short periods (about 3 days) but it was heavy and the cramps and the worst  thing was nothing would help them either. Ever since I started the patch my periods aren't as heavy and I have little to no cramping"


"Been on it for 12 years, and couldn't stand the anxiety attacks any more, now I hardly have any attacks. This medicine works for me."


"Excellent for anxiety, especially if you start with the minimum amount, 0.25 mg and only take more if needed. I say this because I was prescribed 0.5 mg 3x daily and don't need that much. Try to take the least amount and if that works don't take more since you can build up a slight tolerance over time. My only concern is will I ever be able to be off of medicine. I just wish there was a natural cure for anxiety. I hate being dependent on this."


"I've only been taking this medication for under a week, 300mg x 3 times/day. Pdoc Rx'd it for my BP1, and as an adjuct treatment for insomnia and anxiety. My first few doses I felt pleasantly drugged and mellow. It had a moderate cannaboid effect and even gave me the munchies and had me babbling. It has lessened quickly. This med must be working on the brains gaba receptors indeed for I've had a general sense of wellbeing and calmness.

Side effects: increased appetite, some minor drowsiness/loopiness, some dipsomania, and strangely...a frequent need to "stretch out" my muscles. I'm going to continue this medication, and even ask about a higher dose. More time on it will reveal how well this treats my conditions."


"I went on the Nuvaring because I get excruciating menstrual migraines. My migraine specialist suggested that I try it and have triptans as a backup. The first month had only a few issues - headaces but Advil took them away. They were different symptoms than migraines. During the third week I experienced spotting/breakthrough bleeding for 9 days until it was time to take it out and ended up not having a period. I was worried but it turns out that you need to let your body adjust to it first and then it will get normal because it is a very mild dose of hormones. Eventually I'm planning to leave it in for 4 weeks but in the mean time I only had 1 migraine and could tell it was going to be bad so I took a triptan."


"I have been taking Abilify for about 3 years now. It has changed my life dramatically. It has greatly lessoned my highs and lows. It has balanced me out when it comes to all the typical bipolar symptoms."


"62 year old blonde with blue eyes and fair skin.  Spent 50 years in CA and HI getting sunburned.  Now....paying the price.  I have used Efudex and Carac cream treatments, both burn like crazy, peeling several layers, and red, red, red.  I did my whole face at one time, but had to stop after 18 days applying once a day.  Had blisters and bleeding, crying quite a bit.  It took two months after stopping the treatment for the pinkness to disappear.  Using sf 50 every day now under my makeup.  Get lots of compliments on how young my skin looks.  :o)

Now I am doing my chest.  ten days into the treatment with 18 day plan.  Not as painful as my face since the skin is thicker.  Still very red and starting to peel today.  Using ibuprofen."


"I really like it! No sexual side effects at all! I have been on several other antidepressants and this is the only one without sexual side effects I have tried. I did not notice any side effects going on it.  I was going off Effexor at the same time, going off the Effexor was hard. Brain zaps!
I have no complaints about this med.  I am on thehighest dose 120 mg , started at 30mg"


"I have had very bad migraines for years when a neurologist prescribed  the stadol ns and for the first time in years I had relief. Then without warning they cut the amount I was allowed to have in half. So I have a good week followed by a bad week. I guess its against the law to feel pain free all the time."


"I am 14 years old and was taking an anti-inflammatory medicine as well as a prescription pain killer for my kidney stone that I have. Those medicines made me constipated, and while I was at Childrens ER, my nurse practitioner prescribed me MiraLax. I was skeptical, and afraid that it would counteract with my other medications. She assured me that it would be okay. Did you know, you don't have to take it just once a day? I took 2 doses at once with 16 ounces of water, and a couple of hours later, I finally had a bowel movement. Overall this medication is really phenomenal. The only bad thing about it, is that it causes gas and nausea. Other than that, I'd say this is the best constipation reliever for all ages out there!"


"I'm 30 yo male, 6 months ago a had surgery on broken navicular (arch of foot) ever since I've had occasional swelling and pain towards the end of the day, I'm very active work outdoors. I take Movic as needed but requested something along the line of a cream for on site relief from my Dr, he gave me some Pennsaid samples. I will be requesting a prescription asap! I get relief in 10 minutes of application ! Hope this helps someone"


"I took Ambien for years and it helped me sleep, at first. Then, instead of sleeping I would walk around without any memory of it. I gained weight from eating without any memory. I think Ambien could be great for occasional insomnia but I don't recommend it for long term use."


"I recently had a therapeutic abortion (not my choice) and its affected me greatly. I started on birth control right away and made sure to use condoms from then on, but the condom broke and I've only been on the pill for about a week and a half. I hear that the pill only starts to really become effective after a month of taking it so I ran to pharmacy early this morning and bought 2 pregnancy tests and some Plan B (12hr. after) which was pretty pricey, but worth it. It put my mind at ease that the pharmacist told me that if I'd been taking the pill for at least a week every day at the same time, that I should be fine even without Plan B but, better to be safe then sorry.. For now it's just a waiting game, I really hope it works"


"I suffer from chronic, delbilitating
anxiety 24/7 can't function, focus,
family & friends withdraw from me
as they don't understand the disorder or try to learn about it.
I have been on 2mg of clonazapam
for 12 years and when my anxiety
gets to a certain point I take a pill and approx. 20 minutes later, my
stomach stops hurting, my chest
losens up, I breath normally, feel the fear fading away until finally I am
relaxed and a totally different person.... my real self : )"


"I'm glad to hear Azor is working well for people and I must add that it works wonderfully for me as well. The only side effect I have from it so far after 6 months is sort of a good relaxed feeling throughout my body. My blood pressure (BP) was averaging 180/110, sometimes very close to 200/110. Though some people have no symptoms at all with high BP I certainly did; I felt awful, very anxious, had migraine type headaches, small nosebleeds and knew something was wrong with me but didn't know what. I eventually felt so horrible I went to the emergency room and that%u2019s how I found out I had high BP. I thought because of my age (35) and good health and weight that a diagnosis of high BP was going to floor me but this medicine changed that. While in the hospital getting stabilized we tried 4 different medications which were not very effective. I found a general practitioner the next day and Azor was the first drug he put me on. The following day my readings were 130/85 and within 2 days down to 105/65 to 115/75! That was 6 months ago and my readings are consistently in that range except for a very rare reading in the high 120's/80's. I have energy again, I have no headaches or nosebleeds, I'm not anxious, and I feel human again. I can%u2019t put it into words though how much better I feel with a healthy blood pressure range. Thank goodness for Azor, it has made a major difference for me and the quality of my life. I wish you all good health and hope you have continued success with this medication. If you are browsing this page looking for medications to talk to your doctor about, don%u2019t forget to mention Azor, it might be the one that is right for you too."


"Let's see here...first of all, I wouldn't even give mirena a 1 but 0 isn't an option. I had it for 2 long, excruciating, miserable months to help with my heavy periods. I lost my sex drive completely, bled the entire time. Had terrible back and pelvic pain, mood swings, not stop migraines, extreme hunger, no energy at all, severe depression and if that's not enough anxiety and panic attacks. I would absolutely not recommend this to anyone at all. So terrible. Think twice before you have this placed."


"57 year old female. Feeling fine. Went to my annual physical. Urine sample showed high white blood count. ( sign of a UTI, never had one and had no symptoms. Dr prescribed Bactria DS for 7 days anyway. ( after my symptoms began I researched my high WBC in urine could be due to start of menopause- no need for antibiotics there!!)
I am a non drinking vegan who drink 32 oz of water per day. I initially had a little stomach gas but on day 5 I had severe leg cramps, fatigue and headache and a fever!! I stopped taking. Fever is gone. Headache come and goes but the leg cramps are still here on day 3 after stopping Bactrim! Is my liver damaged? This is a sign of cirrhosis !when will it stop?"


"Attackef at age 60. Totally bedridden many years. Husband took me to many neuros who ended up not believing in fibromyalgia. Very insulting suggesting it was"all in my head". Many days could just not make myself move or interact. I had great tired feeling and feeling of pain running thru all parts of my body. Oct 2014 I was lucky. Went to another neuro, prescribed 25mg bid lyrica. In 2 weeks I was myself and have not looked back. Befote this I was an avid runner, pilates, overall exerciser. This came fromnowhere. My lyrica is very low but I just needed it evidently."


"Prescribed a 10 day round for sinus infection in February 2016.   Immediately developed digestive issues, cramping, loose bowel movements, gas and bloating.   It is now 6 months later and I am still battling the issues.  Doctors first thought it was UC, but after colonoscopy now thinks IBD or IBS, maybe Celiac.  I'm headed to hospital for additional testing."


"I wanted to post this review because there was SO MUCH NEGATIVITY! This is the first birth control I have ever used and love it. I was terrified it would affect my moods, weight gain, etc. It has done no such thing. My period is lighter and very predictable. Only once or twice in the whole year have I had slight spotting in between placebo pills. I recommend this to anyone who wants the protection, but is afraid of side effects. The only thing to remember is to take this at the EXACT SAME TIME! Since it is low dosage, you have about a 30 minute window to take it. I love it!"


"Did not put me to sleep or help with pain. In fact it caused anxiety and made pain worse. I was on 4mg. at night for three days. Quit after that. Don't really know why I was put on it because did not have neck or back pain. I have intractable headache. I personally don't believe in off label uses for pharmaceuticals."


"I've had cystic acne for 15 years and was finally prescribed isotretinoin at the age of 27. I went to a private dermatologist who prescribed the medication, then I switched to the NHS. I'm currently on month 5 out of 6 and acne free at 70mg per day. It was month 4 when I became free of acne, so it does take a while to fully kick in. Side effects - severe eczema on my hands, very dry eyes and lips. My only regret is I didn't get on this medication 10 years ago, which would have prevented scarring and emotional issues. I am SO ANGRY with the NHS for refusing me this medication back in 2007."


"I have mod/severe RA overlapping with PSA. I developed a worsening of Psoriasis on Humira. I stopped Humira and DR wanted me to try Otezla to clear my Psoriasis. I can say this is the worst drug i have ever taken. I had a severe migraine for 5 days. I had very low energy levels, loss of appetite and nausea. I also developed really bad spasms. I took Methotrexate for 5 years and didn't feel this bad. I stopped Otezla going back to Humira and Methotrexate... I hope!"


"I wanted to share my good news. I stopped my Saxenda about three weeks ago. I was on it for about 14 months, the doctor thought I was ready to go it alone. I started at 250lbs, I an 198 as we speak. My goal is 180. I have a protein shake each morning for breakfast, a salad for lunch and a one plate size dish for dinner.  The key is portion control, eat small sensible meals each time and you will be ok. Now I have to get to the gym. Good Luck To All!"


"Was on it and later Remeron for 3 months. Remeron was an near-instant help; Paxil did some good things. Apparently, a great anxiety med. Effects didn't really last and I got anxious/depressed to a large extent. Went off and had a hard withdrawal."


"Can anyone tell me how long it stsys in your system please? Had only one injection, won't have another but want to know if these awful side effects will subside in time now that ive decided to stop them. Thankyou."


"Surprisingly easy, painless and uneventful after 8 years of anxious procrastination. Drank the prep solution chilled, with a straw, didn't gag or get nauseous.  Chased it with a quart of low-calorie Gatorade. 30 min later felt mild urgency to go #2, waited until T+45 to actually go.  After 5 quick bathroom visits in 3 hrs (most in first hour) it was just clear liquid.  Went to bed, got up early and took second bottle as instructed.  This time, I was mildly nauseous. Both times, I got light chills and just wrapped myself in a blanket.  The colonosopy itself was a breeze - they put in an IV, I passed out mid-sentence, woke up 5 what felt like seconds later to the smiling face of the doctor and the news that they'd snipped out "3 tiny polyps"."


"I had been on it for two years. My insurance didn't cover it, the company provided it for me free (thankful) until recently when my dh got a raise (also thankful). The first year was really good, some flushing but tolerable.

However, in the past year, it seemed to stop working and I wasn't feeling any better - I know that is vague. But, I began falling for the first time, fatigue really returned.

At this same time, I developed a rather large rash and unbearable itching centered around my neck and back of head, around ears. The company nurse said this would be a 'serious side-effect' so while I dread doing any needles, the itching is unbearable, the drug too expensive w/o insurance, so I've stopped taking it."


"I started because nothing was working. I struggled to lose weight. I'm 5`2 and was 239lbs in two months I lost 25lbs! Now at 214lbs, finally something that works really! With watching what I eat and a little exercise I can't wait to reach my goal because I know I can do it now. At first just really bad dry mouth."


"Didn't work for me and gave me a really bad headache."


"I broke my heel as well as tearing several ligaments in my ankle, but Percocet is keeping the pain at bay -- which is amazing since otherwise it is excruciating."


"It's great for the pain and other symptoms! It really does help it's just really expensive, even with insurance and a discount card. Hint hint to the company!... Not everyone can afford an $80 prescription every month...."


"I started on Monday taking Escitalopram drops. My doctor told me to take 10 drops  (10 mg). I read the instructions and opted to take 5 drops  (5mg) as the drug was new to me and I'm a very little lady and was worried about the dose. Within a few hours I had the most throbbing headache that wiped me out all day. The following morning I took another 5 drops and again had a throbbing headache. I took various over the counter medicines to rid myself of this headache but nothing worked. Luckily a friend popped over and I made an espresso coffee for us both. Within 5 minutes of drinking the coffee my headache had disappeared completely. I was relieved and shocked that a dose of caffeine could put me back in the land of living again."


"Cymbalta was my first attempt at antidepressants. It was prescribed for both anxiety and extreme depression. Before Cymbalta I was literally non-functioning. After a week of taking it, with Zero side effects, I felt like a different person. A better person. I did have my occasional bad day, but nothing like before. I am no longer on Cymbalta because my insurance dropped it. I moved from it to Pristiq with virtually no withdrawals. I would take it again in a heartbeat."


"I have been on this birth control for about 3 or 4 years and love it! It is my only form of birth control and I haven't gotten pregnant yet. I was on a different pill for three months and it gave me horrible cramps and headaches and once I switched back to Sprintec they went away."


"I just got diagnosed with ADHD and my doctor prescribed me this medication. She told me I can take up to 4mg a day, so I started myself off with 1mg. I didn't like it for the first few days because I have 4 kids a husband a full time job and I'm a part time student. I didn't like that this medicine was making me sleepy so I stopped taking it. My friend that takes the same meds and he has been taking it for some years and he told me the trick. He said take 1mg at night when it's your bed time, and it worked.Taking the meds right at bed time helps a lot so I won't be sleepy doing the day and then it only took the meds like 4/5 days to start working. When I say my brain is  working like a living scanner.A picture in my head for everything now."


"treatment with zentel (albendazole) very effective with 27 parasites dug out of leg between ankle and knee.No side effects,B/p normal and diabeties type 2 not affected,took 3 pills then 2 weeks later a follow up dose of 3 more pills.No biopsy could get a diagnosis.Very happy with treatment as 7 different creams worked for 2 days each then itch all the time and no sleep."


"I have been taking suboxone for almost 6 years.  Before that my pain is very severe.  I took everything before I picked up pain meds, I am an addict of 29 years, I had to pick up pain meds when nothing else worked for me, got completely addicted, Suboxone has SAVED MY LIFE and helps with my pain, I have nevered picked up another pain med since then, I AM TRULY GREATFUL"


"I have been taking Cymbalta for two years now- it honestly changed my life. At the time I started taking it I was a college athlete and anxiety ruled my life. At first, I would take it during the morning hours and I would immediately want to go to bed. That was my problem, I needed to take it about an hour or two before bed. I am still experimenting the exact right time to take it (I sometimes wake up still feeling tired from it- but not sure if it's the medication or my routine now). I know certain medications work for some and not others, but I would recommend this medication. I had slight symptoms at first beside the tiredness- decreased appetite and no sexual desires or emotions. I still feel great! (30mg once daily)"


"I've had hormone related migraines for about 30 years - they got so much worse in my 30's (I'm 52 now).  The ONLY solution I have found is Fioricet PLUS taking the Frova.  It knocks all headaches back into "the background" so I can function.  Sometimes Fioricet alone will work, but, when it won't, Frova is the answer.  Yes...it's expensive and the insurance company rations it to me like gold.  I did insist, however, that if my doc prescribes 12 tabs/month, that the insurance company should not be able to tell me I cannot have 12.  They fought me for a while, but now they are allowing 12 at the same co-pay (probably because the insurance premiums go up every year). "


"My dermatologist recommended Yaz for my acne. However I also have horrible menstrual cycles and let me tell you, you cannot go wrong with Yaz. I hardly felt any pain. My acne was basically gone also. Now all I have is some dark spots here and there"


"Continuous hot flashes at least one an hour during the day and at least 5 to 6 during the night, waking me up, over the last year. Was required to stop Estrogen patch after breast cancer scare one year ago, and Cold Turkey on the hormones sent hot flashes, sleeplessness and irritability off the charts.
Gabapentin was prescribed and was an immediate success at stopping the night sweats and hot flashes.  I took it at night and it worked wonders...I finally switched to a PPO insurance plan so I could choose my own OBGYN.  (Was previously on a HMO and no doctors would provide any help or relief from hormone issues.)
Gabapentin stopped  hot flashes and insomnia within 2 days."


"I'm using Epiduo, and its already on my 3rd month. And it's not that effective. My pimples are still there. I also suggest use sunblock in the morning so that your face won't burn."


"I was prescribed this for depression and take 15 mg daily. I have an amazing nights sleep, at least 9 hours so go to bed early so I am able to be alert the next day. I get restless legs just before falling asleep and am occasionally constipated and have quite vivid dreams but the uplift in my mood is worth a few side effects."


"HATED IT! Was on Loestrin 24 Fe and had no issues, my doctor told me they discontinued it and they switched me to this because it was the most like it. I completely DISAGREE. Felt depressed, no energy, literally cried everyday for absolutely no reason and had no sex drive."


"I have been on may different types of pain medicines for over 10 years now.  I have degenerative nerve damage since a young age.  Also crushed, herniated and bulging discs in my entire lower lumbar region.  Have been in unmanageable pain many times before trying MS Contin.  This seems to give me the best possible relief while still allowing me to function in society. The pain is now under control and I do live a normal life.  I take Soma, a muscle relaxer, and that seems to help when I overdo things.  I am perscribed 4 of the 60mg in the a.m. and 4 in the p.m. without side effects."


"I have COPD so flu can be fatal. I was admitted to the ER, diagnosed type A with a very high white count. Enter Tamiflu thank God. After a night in ICU on bpap machine I made it through the worst. White blood count after 36 hours was normal. This medication saved my life and that is not an exaggeration in any way or form. I am so thankful for the medicine and for the research team. All I can say now
is I CAN BREATHE!"


"Had been taking Telmisartan/HCTZ 80.25 for the last few years until my doctor recommended me to try Edarbyclor 40/25 which I have been taking now for about a week.  So far since taking, I feel a difference in a positive way and my BP has gone down.  Not a lot of water retention and small side effect of a little headache.  Ankle and legs swelling has gone down, don't feel like I have elephant legs and ankles anymore.  I give this a THUMBS UP, so far."


"I have ulcers and I have a lot of nausea associated with them. I take a 10mg pill and in most cases break it in half and the nausea is gone. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to kick in but it works."


"Tysabri has been wonderful so thankful"


"This shot has saved my life. I was very hormonal with terrible painful PMS. This shot helped with all of my symptoms..including my constant back pain. I don't really think the weight gain is a big issue because I know I gained 5 pounds around my period anyways.  I have energy to do more important things now and it has helped my depression significantly. It may not be for everyone but it definitely is helping me tremendously."


"I was told not to use drink alcohol with Flagyl, of course, but I also found I cannot use Purell (ethanol-based) or isopropyl rubbing alcohol with it. These led to terrible stomach pain and headache. One pharmacist told me this couldn't happen, not enough alcohol would get in, but another said Yes, it happens, and some people even have a reaction to alcohol in the slight fumes you get while pumping gasoline that includes alcohol. When I avoid Purell and isopropyl, I don't get those severe stomach pains."


"I have had Hypothyroid for 30 years and weight problems because of it. 4 months ago my blood test showed 6.4 pre diabetes 2 . My doctor put me on lowest Trulicity and after 4 months I lost 39 pounds and my blood sugar is down to 5.3"


"Good result."


"The first 2 weeks are the worst. I had lots of tummy issues but resolved with time. I'm on month 2 now and It's working better then any other medications I have tried. (I have tried them all with only Effexor being the only one the actually worked) its costly but I hope with time the price will come down. (About 200 a month with Insurance) but its working so it's worth it!"


"This is an amazing drug, I've never had any side effects besides that one where my bladder infection went away, if your reading people's posts who have horrible side effects they probably have an easily upset stomach. Don't eat or drink water. In most people these don't cause side effects when properly taken. Or allergic! I wouldn't be too worried."


"Soolantra did not work for me.  Made my rosacea worse."


"I was positive for H Pylori. I was nervous to start this 14 day therapy of medicines, but I toughened up and went for it. I am on my second day of Prevpac. I have some symptoms. The first day I took it about 2 hours after I felt tried, along with the metallic taste in mouth. I ate right after I took it and drank plenty of water. The taste went away fairly quickly in morning however in the evening I got the same symptoms but the metallic taste was worse. I just kept drinking water. This morning I woke up with loose stools.  Also for some reason I have been having increased appetite. I guess its a good thing considering I haven't been eating. I am 27 year old. I will keep you updated."


"I got the TN problem 3 years ago. Initially, thought the problem is with my teeth and did a root canal.
It was not necessary and diagnosed with TN. Tegritol helped to reduce the pain to a manageble condition. I took 400 mg 3 times a day. But that much of medicine everyday made me feel so drowsy.
So, I read about the chiropractice and started doing the adjustments and started doing brisk walking everyday for 4 miles. With this for an year, The medication is reduced to half. Now I am taking only 200 mg for 3 times! This is a good improvement  in my case and want to continue the same, until I stop taking any medication to reduce my pain completely. Hope this helps many who is going thru this mega pain to reduce the medication."


"Having taken this for a month I can say that it has been effective in relieving me of debiliating anxiety and made me a lot calmer. Highly effective for sleep. Side effects I've noticed are shaking, excessive sweeting, low appetite and a sort of 'hang over' in the morning. Began therapy recently which has helped and I would advise all other anxiety sufferers to try this too!"


"Hi, I need some advice. I'm 20 years old and I've never been pregnant, I had the mirena coil fitted about 3 weeks ago, the procedure didn't go so well and the doctor had to dilate my cervix as she wasn't able to place the coil. It's been 3 weeks now and me and my partner are starting to have sex again but I'm feeling slight discomfort and a little pain, has anyone else felt this and if so is it normal?"


"I started the patch on Friday.I felt fine Friday night, I woke up Saturday morning and felt okay, as the day progressed, my nausea got worse. Woke up Sunday feeling okay but around 11pm the nausea came back, I had a headache and my saliva was really thick. I went to bed that night feeling horrible not getting much sleep. Monday I woke up feeling extremely lethargic, I ended up having to leave work early because I thought I was going to pass out. I went home and slept most of the day, Tuesday morning spent by the toilet and called my doctor. Who told me to take it off if it continued, I just took it off 30 minutes ago and I already feel better."


"I've been on Tri-Sprintec for years and my period is extremely regular and I get it on the same day every month. Acne has always been an issue, but it has definitely lightened up a bit since taking this birth control. If I miss a pill, my body lets me know. I get very nauseous and experience cramping just because I am so (reliant) in a sense, on it. Also, I never had any significant weight change at all while taking it. I also have gone up a cup size too! I've had no trouble with Tri-Sprintec and would recommend it to others."


"I have tried soooo many products I've seen different dermatologist, and when I got prescribed epiduo, idk why it took so long to get this as it was a life saver. I'm a 32 yo adult and whenever I get a breakout I use it once at night and I clear up quick. It is a little drying but I just moisturizer before putting it on. It worked amazing for me."


"I think the definition of hell was the 4 weeks I was on this medication. Every single day I was constantly in a state of panic. If you've had temporal lobe seizures you may know what I'm referring to; the brief state of panic that occurs when a seizure is coming about. I was in that state of panic ALL day. I was in high school at the time and had to stay home nearly every single day. The neurologist tried adding an antidepressant, a xanax, and nothing would calm it down. When my hair began falling out at an alarming rate that was the final straw for me. I had to DEMAND to be switched to something else. I take lamotrigine now and it has completely turned around. My hair finally stopped falling out about 2 months after I quit the keppra."


"I only tried this when my insurance refused to allow Victoza anymore after two years of positive results.
My BS have been much higher, headaches, blurred vision and inability to concentrate. Driving has become hazardous for me. I am not using another dose."


"Dear all,
I am a 26 year old Dutch man who has been living with AS since 18, but got diagnosed just 4 years ago at 22. Because Humira is so expensive they made me use NSAID's like diclofenac and naproxen for two years. Before I used humira I dropped out of college, couldn't do any sports and was bed ridden most of the day. If I would for instance do the dishes, I would be broken for the rest of the day. A little over two years ago they started me on Humira and it has completely changed my life. I was very wary of the medicine because it involves shooting yourself up and I was hesitant as I had just taken these heavy painkillers which did not benefit me at all. I couldn't walk and now I play football three times a week and am back to work/uni"


"So me and my GF had sex  and the condom ended up breaking. So 20 hours later I bought her a Plan B. I suggest eating a good big meal while taking it. She didn't really have any symptoms after she took it except her stomach started hurting. Her period wasn't due for another 2 weeks. It ended up coming a week early. Brown/dark red blood for a few days then cherry red blood. Just be prepared and responsible. Take care of your girl while she's on it make her feel loved and important. Understand and really listen to how she feels. Just pray and everything will be alright thank you God!!"


"Why can't they go back to the old method of making Armour Thyroid? I've tried the synthetic meds before. I don't feel like myself and had msny issues with side effects. Even a mix of two different ones trying to get my t3 right. Tsh levels always good or played games of too high or too low until the t3 was studied.

Yes I've had more issued with sleeping, insomnia, irritability, focus, weight loss, hair loss, and for the first time in my life I had a migraine over a year ago and now needing to take daily meds for them.

Does anyone know of another company even out of the US where we could buy the old formula from.use of pig glands certainly can't be expensive.just another company filling thier pockets while given a lesser product, we suffer"


"I've been on Zoloft for 2 months. I've have massive depression after I had my twins. I had suicidal thoughts and thoughts of just letting go.I went to the doctor for help and he prescribed me Zoloft 25mg but the 25mg wasn't working. So I took 50mg and it is awesome. I feel myself again like I was 18. No worries in the world. Just felling like life was life again. Thanks to Zoloft I got my life back."


"This medication works slowly. It took around 24 hours to feel any effect. The patches don't really stick too well. Avoid hot showers or the patch will fall off."


"The Tessalon didn't work at all. Coughing all night!"


"At first I could take one 10mg and be knocked out in 20 mins but after being used to it I took 50mg one night and all I got was nausea. So it was GREAT at first better than anything else but now it has lost all effect."


"I used Voltaren gel on some sore joints (and a tennis elbow). It worked as well as anything I have ever tried. I sometimes get killer tension headaches that first build up in the back of the neck.  When I felt one coming on, I used the gel on the back of the neck and shoulders.  The headache never developed.  Before this experiment I would take 3 or 4 ibuprofen for one of these headaches and hope for the best.  The gel is now my standard treatment for these headaches."


"I couldn't be happier with Pristiq as it has helped me get back in the game of life again. I started taking Pristiq six weeks ago, following its recommendations and those who have had success on it. While on daily Pristiq, I also do 30 minutes of exercise (rebounding, walking, swimming), drink 2 litres of water, only 1 cup of  coffee/ tea a day and no alcohol. Regular bedtime/risetime (8 hours min sleep). Quick results help me to persevere for 3 weeks to form new habits and get control of my life again.  The rebounding offset my dizziness, nausea, sluggishness, constipation and "I-don't-feel-like-it"s.  Pristiq and a healthier lifestyle have me feeling like my old self again, enjoying life, friendships, good health and work again."


"I really like not having to worry about taking a pill at the same time everyday and I've really no complaints about Mirena being placed. I was uncomfortable during insertion and bled for about a week after the fact but other than that no problem. However, my sex drive has decreased SIGNIFICANTLY and I'm starting to worry. I had my first child two months ago so I'm not sure if this decreased drive is an effect of pregnancy or the Mirena. "


"Hi!  I have been on Trulicity found our weeks, minus one week I did not have a sample because my insurance won't pay for it.  The first two weeks were great!  I did have waves of nausea, but my sugar was down and I felt so much better.  I lost a few pounds, but I was trying to and my appetite was not very much.  Above all I had consistent readings below 200.  Then everything changed over the last week.  I started feeling depressed and very tired, to the point of exhaustion and felt horrible constipation.  Saturday I actually had a decent meal and woke up Sunday feeling horrible.  I could not get any relief from the constipation.  Now the vomiting all night and day.  Not sure if I will stick it out.  So sick."


"I don't feel any different taking this medicine. I feel the same way on it as I do off it. I am going to ask my doctor to change me to something else."


"Keeps my blood pressure down but for me, the best benefit is it has helped with my bowels. Every other medication I've had is constipating. This has normalized me."


"I did pills for a few years, Ortho Evra patches for 2 to 3 years and got this inserted in Feb 2014, 4 months ago because I'm traveling months at a time and didn't want to worry about keeping track of getting birth control. I had a normal period plus spotting for the first month then just constant spotting for thee next two months and finally nothing. My sex drive is blah but never really had one, I would say I'd consider going back to the patches because of this crazy acne. I've never had acne and as soon as I switched I don't know what to do with all this acne and I don't wear makeup, nothing changed in my life but the birth control. I've also gone from 110lbs to 130lbs and that is making me really consider changing, still bloated constantly."


"My doctor prescribed Pristiq for anxiety.  The first 2 weeks I felt like a Zombie.  I had bouts of nausea(although I never threw up) and I really just felt strange most of the time.  I knew that this medicine had side effects so I stuck it out.  On the 14th day I awoke feeling awesome!  I am not exaggerating.  I have been taking Pristiq 50 mg for one month now and continue to feel great.  Several times a day I actually think to myself how happy and content I am.  That never happened before taking this medication.  The only side effect that I am experiencing is that it takes me longer to climax. I can live with that, considering how Pristiq has changed my life.  Give it a chance to work and you may find happiness once again."


"While the drug was effective in doing what it promises, I will never take it again. In prep for a colonoscopy, I took two tablets before bed. I experienced mild cramping, but nothing serious. At about 5am I woke up, barely made it to the bathroom, and had intense diarrhea. While I was on the toilet I started having the urge to vomit and felt very strange. Next thing I knew, I woke up on my bathroom floor, very confused, pants around my ankles, with a throbbing head. I can only assume that I passed out, fell off the toilet, and smacked my head on the hardwood floor. I now likely have a concussion, and a very swollen, bruised forehead."


"I was diagnosed after 22 years in the AF at age 42.  I've had to side effects since sta'rting on Asacol 10 years ago.  I have refused to let Crohns control my life and Asacol was a big part of it."


"These patches have made life bearable and sleep possible.  I was suffering from severe pain from arthritis and also ruptured discs. I have been able to function and go about life with the aid of these patches."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"So far this medicine works well. One hour after I take the medicine I feel wide awake and more alert than I have felt in years.  About 4.5 to 5 hours I usually get a headache but I will stay awake feeling fine. I have noticed that when I go to sleep I sleep much sounder and longer."


"I get cold sores once or twice a year . The sun usually is the cause. Usually I take acyclovir orally which works great if taken within the first day of the tingle warning sign. This time I was traveling and I had no refills from the pharmacy. After 3 days the herpes popped out on my lower lip. I felt a lot of pain, and I had trouble eating and drinking. I bought Abreva at 10:30 last night. The pain has been reduced dramatically.  The lip still looks horrible , but it feels a lot better. I spent $ 17 on Abreva, but it was worth it. I will refill my  prescription  for acyclovir so that I can take it right away next time I get the tingle after being in the sun . The acyclovir taken orally actually can prevent the herpes from erupting. But if you wait"


"After I started this medication, I gained 10 pounds in 2 weeks. After taking this for 3 months, I went from 212 to 265 pounds. I hadn't changed my eating habits, so I was annoyed that I had to work hard to lose the 53 pounds I gained on this medication. "


"I took depo in june and a week later i started bleeding heavy... So i was told to get another shot early,so i would stop bleeding ....It didnt work im still bleeding and its october....so i went to the doctor he gave me provera and its day 2 of the pills the bleeding is lighting.... Let hope everything will go bak to normal..."


"Doesn't stop the spasms completely but does make a big difference. Does make me sleepy."


"I had my first shot December 19 , 7 weeks after having my son and I was still bleeding from that  within 2 days my bleeding had stopped and I was excited. Well that was short lived as the next week I started bleeding/spotting for 2 weeks then stopped for a couple of weeks  only to start again. My doctor gave me a second shot Feb 1 stating it would stop the bleeding  well it hasn't.  It's now been 5 weeks of spotting/bleeding. This is horrible.  I also have horrible hot flashes that come from no where.  Do not take this medication"


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"Now I have a history of colitis so this is about my 10th one or more. It was nice that you on had to drink 5oz of the liquid at one time followed by 5 more 8oz glasses of liquid. The taste was more citric with a hint of orange. Much better then the lemon lime stuff that I have had to drink in the past. Plus it did not make me nauseous (which is a plus in my book). It did take about 2 hours for me to have my first BM after drinking the Prepopik, and then only 2 more until I had to take the second dose. Then proceeded to go every 45min to an hour until I went to bed. Didn't wake up during the night to go, only when I woke up an hour prior to my procedure. This is not a fun experience in general, but overall one of the easiest preps I have had"


"I use Vicodin when I'm in pain. It only helps me for 2 to 3 days then after that nothing seems to help with pain. I've had surgery on my wrist and I am going to have surgery again soon. I fear that I am going to get addicted to it because my dad is addicted to it and I don't want it to happen to me. I need to tell my doctor and ask him what else would help with pain."


"I have been on this pill for about 2 years now and it gets worse and worse each month. I have experienced horrible nausea, headaches, mood swings and depression. I constantly have bleeding throughout the month and my period never comes when I'm supposed to have it. It is almost as irregular and heavy as it was when I didn't take the pill. I get extremely bad cramps and bloating aswell. Currently in the process of trying to switch to a new pill.. Very angry."


"Took it 7 months, might as well been taking aspirin, well, actually BC aspirin worked better. Works for some people, just doesn't metabolize with this old fellow. Waste of time"


"Have been on Dilantin for 15 years. After having a major seizure that was life threatening, I have had only one minor seizure 13 years ago. Very dedicated to the medication and don't miss doses. I am now 73 and doing fantastic.  Won't change but I do watch my level and know when it is high or low."


"I have been taking Latuda for 6 months and I am bipolar II. I also am on Wellbutrin. Overall the medication has made me feel better. But I now find that I am suffering from intense anxiety, which is terrible at night. I need to check with my doctor to see if this is a possible side effect."


"Everyone is different but Kapidex does nothing for me. I was on 60 mg for 2 weeks and am now on 120 mg. No side effects but then it doesn't help either. I had the same experience with Prevacid so it probably should be expected. I hope it works for you but I would ask for samples before spending a lot of money on something that may not work."


"Phenergan (promethazine) is very effective for nausea and vomiting. It is generally not used for urticaria or respiratory allergies. It is very strong and will make you drowsy. I recommend taking it when you are going to lay low for a while. We don't give it IV any more because we had some serious tissue damage reported when it infiltrated under the skin. I am not sure that we still give it IV. Lately, it is either given as a suppository or as a pill."


"It's the best medication for my acid reflux, chronic heartburn. Two capsules and I no longer wake at night with painful heartburn. I can continue to enjoy my normal (somewhat spicy) foods without suffering afterwards.

Please note - the instructions tell you not to take it for more than 14 days. Then take a break of nearly 4 months before starting another course. The over the counter Prevacid is NOT for daily use ad infinitum.

If it doesn't help, then you need to see a doctor!!"


"I am 35 years old and have battled acne and oily skin my whole life. I have tried everything under the sun to cure my acne but nothing worked. I started accutane 4 days ago and already notice a difference with my skin. I can tell it is drying me out but it is well worth it. My self confidence is rising day by day and the stress of wondering, "how bad will my face be today?" is leaving. I will comment on my experience when I can, but as of now I would recommend this drug to anyone. It has already changed my life."


"I have experienced no side effects. Sex drive is fine, I have experienced any mood changes or anything like that. Every one is different when it comes to medications. Guess I’m one of the lucky ones!"


"Clarithromycin seems to be quite effective with sinusitis. I hate the side effects though.  This antibiotic produces a bitter/metallic taste in my tongue. I haven't experienced diarrhea, but I now poop once in the morning and once in the evening. I used to poop once a day before taking this antibiotic."


"The BEST thing I take for the MS.  Definitely makes me feel better and more vibrant!"


"Have had the shot twice now. About to get my third. There's been some irregular bleeding. And it's mostly after sex. But no full period. No cramps, PMS, never wear  tampons or pads anymore.  It's been very efficient! I've taken tests just to be sure too! "


"Works the best if you only take it once or twice a month.  I've had problems with rebound headaches, even when I take this with sodium naproxen.  It can also leave me feeling a bit groggy."


"I've been on the Depo shot for 1 and a half years. I love it because I'm not getting any periods and it's not like the pill having to remember it daily. However in the course of being on this shot I have gained 70 pounds. I'm always hungry and I get very moody. I also have extremely bad headaches. I'm switching to the Nuvaring because my weight gain is unbearable and my headaches are chronic."


"I've been using Elocon for over 15 years. I use the liquid lotion on my scalp. If I apply twice a day for a week, my entire scalp is cleared and itch free. Elocon however is not very effective for the psoriasis in my belly button and in my ears. It only works to clear it for 3 days and comes right back.  But for the scalp it's a 10! I also apply it to new spots over my skin if I see them, it nicks any new spots from forming. Elocon states it may thin the skin, but after 10 years, I'm still doing good, no thinning."


"Very expensive and doesn't work very well."


"I am on day 6 of 10, 3 times per day at 750mg. It does taste awful but I am keeping the benefits in check to outweigh how I feel. I do have nausea following but it passes in an hour or so. I few really sleepless nights too. I have been sick on and off the last 3 years and if this is what gets me feeling more amazing on the other side of this I am happy! Keeping my eye on 4 days from now. I am drinking a few tablespoons of Kefir between each dose, so far so good! I would struggle to take a second medication for yeast infections when it is so preventable with diet."


"I went to the dermatologist after having psoriasis on my hands, elbows, fingers and toes.  He gave me Laclotion and Clobetasol foam.  These did not work after using them for 2 weeks!  I went to a different doctor, who gave me Taclonex, and even though it's greasy when you put it on (not like the Clobetasol foam that dried up right away), but the Taclonex got rid of the psoriasis after 7 days.  It really is amazing."


"Minstratrin is definitely a hit or miss. Everyone will experience the effects differently and I have come to learn this from trial and error. I wouldn't say it was horrible, but okay. Not something I would want to stick with.

Pros, I've experienced:
No weight gain
Pleasant mint flavored pill - doesn't taste like your typical yucky pill
Short & lighter periods
Bearable menstrual cramps

Cons, I've experienced:
Mild acne
Bloating
Fatigue
Chronic Bacterial Vaginitis & Yeast Infection"


"like the previous person mention, I'm a strong believer of aleve, it works faster for my gout than the prescription meds I take. No more going to the doctor for refills.....Aleve works!"


"I started taking this medicine 4 days ago.  I have not experienced any negative side effects and I am down 7 pounds (starting weight 03/27/15 - 281.3; today's weight 03/30/15 - 274.0).  My cravings for sweets and desire to snack disappeared immediately; also this morning for the first time I noticed that "stuffed" feeling after eating a very small amount of food.  I am so excited and hope that this continues to work for me."


"41 yr old Caucasian female. 115lbs/5' No negative medical history other than mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation. Horrid chest pains and no energy. I can't recall the 1st drug- caused numbness in hands and feet- tingling and cold feelings were horrible. Also, caused extreme tiredness; mixed with the fatigue from the regurgitation made me a rag doll. BYSTOLIC CHANGED MY LIFE. Started me at 10mg- lasted 10 months; now on 20mg for the last 5 months. Pain creeps in faster as I am sure the valve isn't getting any 'better'. Time will bring about the need to change it and my doctor is waiting for Cleveland Clinic to open up new non-intrusive surgeries to patients who do not have life-threatening MVP issues. Side effects are minimal and I HAVE MY LIFE BACK."


"I'm to take it regularly.  I soon found out that it makes my urine smell.  While that may not be too bad a deal, it also seems to make me slightly incontinent.  A bad combination.  It also generally makes me weak and drowsy."


"For STATUS EPILEPTICUS: This is what I request be given to my husband at the ER because it stops his seizures and prevents the resulting vomiting. For ANXIETY: 1mg has helped me just enough that I was able to use relaxation techniques and avoid panicking before dental procedures.  For PANIC: Doesn't work for me at all.  For SEDATION: Doesn't work for me at all, even in the maximum dosage.  For NAUSEA: Doesn't work for me at all.  MANIA: 500mcg suppresses manic episodes perfectly for me.  RESULT: I don't think that this works very well in people with severe panic disorder w/ agoraphobia."


"I have been taking this medicine for a few years now and without a doubt it has changed my life.  I never had or have any side effects besides maybe a poop sweat but that also could be from my diet.  The only thing I have noticed is you definitely develop a need to take more as life goes on but if that's what I have to do to avoid those crazy attacks then so be it."


"I've taken Plan B twice in my life. The first time was right after the 'incident', literally not even an hour after in the wee hours of the night we ran out to Walmart, came home took the pill and went to sleep. Can't say I remember anything crazy to that experience. I do remember my period came a bit early and the cramps were pretty severe and so was the bleeding. It took a bit for my period to get back to normal, but it did! This time around is a whole other story! I took it about three days ago, day of taking it was good, next day was good, yesterday midday I experienced nausea and vomiting, and now today diarrhea and cramps. Suppose to get my period anywhere from 3-5 days from now."


"Fast, fast relief, even in a migraine that had already been established for 12 hours. No side effects. "


"swelling feet ankles breathing problems chest pain .... bad medicine"


"This is my second time around of being on it and it's way worse than the first time. Well, at least the first month was HORRIBLE and when I say horrible I mean horrible. My period had came way too early, it came like the second week starting the pills, lasted the rest of the month, cramps were so bad that they woke me up out of a dead sleep every 1-2 hours, nothing helped to ease the pain. Happened more at night but I had them during the day as well. It was that bad I almost had to call off work and I'm the type that never calls off, I'd have to be dying. Now I'm almost through my second month, it's going A LOT better! This month was better than last. I suggest to give it time, let it run it's course even if it gets horrible like mine did."


"It worked like a miracle.  Nausea is gone.  I have been in a constant state of nausea for over 4 months and have tried many other medications. This is the only one that works. Luck to all."


"Voltaren Gel has given me back the ability to walk without pain.  I have had heel Spurs and plantar fasciitis and bursitis in my heel for about 20 years.  I began using Voltaren Gel about 10 months ago and am so thankful that I  have not had any significant pain for the past six months. I also try to wear only shoes that have very high arches.  With the Voltaren Gel, I massage it all around my foot and over the top and bottom as per the directions.  Great stuff!!!"


"I started taking anti depressant after my grandchild died. He was 3 years old and it changed my world. I had so much anxiety over people and I was just so sad and angry all of the time. I stated celexa and I loved how it just shut off the bad.  Eventually it was increased and I couldn't stay awake for anything. I got switched to prozac about a month ago. At first I felt very irritable but thats gotten better and now I feel better overall.  No more trying to sleep all day and the crazy switch is still flipped to off"


"I was on nexplanon for a year. I didn't have any major issues with it. It worked great as far as the birth control aspect of it. But while I was on it I started having a vaginal odor sometimes daily sometimes on and off. I went to the gynecologist and got a check up. All tests came back negative. They treated me for vaginosis just in case but no prevail. As soon as I got the nexplanon taken out the odor went away. Other than that it was great not having to remember to take a pill. And I'm not sure if it was the bc or not but I felt when I was on it my mood was like a rollercoaster. I'm sure my BF noticed the difference but i went from depressed to happy to mad and sleeping a lot."


"I knew I was different when I went to school. Being an only child I was very loved and cared for. I lived for the attention in kindergarten I knew I was not like everyone else it took me longer to learn things than others I wouldn't listen fully to instructions. I was so eager to please I fell over myself trying to prove things to be accepted I was outgoing and a class clown my mother always got notes home about me things like she doesn't sit still gets out of her seat talk talk talk I'm grown and my mother has passed away. My best friend therapist has shown me PTSD and ADHD, now I know who I am now."


"I've been on this medication for 3 months now, so my body is used to it. The only problem I experienced in the first month was breakthrough bleeding or spotting around the 2nd to 3rd week of the pills. My physician told me this might occur if I didn't wait until my next period to start it (which I didn't). Other than that I have no experienced any other symptoms. The pills have made my period a lot lighter and my cramps less severe. They also regulated my extremely irregular period! They haven't cause any weight gain, which seems to be a big concern for people when looking for a pill to try. I've actually been losing weight (with diet and exercise) with no added trouble due to the pill. My skin has cleared up great too!"


"Been on Imuran 6 months and find it very helpful for my ocular symptoms and moderately helpful for my generalized Myasthenia Gravis symptoms (fatigue and weakness). So far normal hemograms, hepatic function tests and renal/chem-7 results."


"52 year old diagnosed with ovarian cancer in July 2016. Received chest mediport in August and went through 12 weeks of chemo. Only side effects were constipation from chemo and sleepless nights from Dedcadron. While these steroids made me feel strong and allow me to work while taking chemo they also keep me wired at night. Only on those days of chemo I would take 1  mg of Ativan at night. So blessed to get some much needed rest and was at work by 6:00 ready for my work day. Feeling rested and getting that quality sleep is very vital when fighting this disease and taking chemo. I just had IP port surgically implanted into abdomen today. Staring next 3 cycles of IP chemo after having surgery December 8th.Ativan has helped me, no side effects."


"Well I'm sorry to hear all the side effects people have had over this nasty tasting pill. BUT I'm on day 6 and I feel fine. Last night I began to feel a little nauseous but nothing too bad. I am taking this pill for BV after discovering I had an early miscarriage. (I'm being monitored) So, the nausea can really just be from some left over hormones. Overall, the worst thing about this pill is the taste. My advice is take drink it with something other than Water! And take it at the same time each day :)"


"The first time I used it I ended up at a orthopedic surgeon's office thinking I somehow tore my rotator cuff and needed surgery, NOT thinking the antibiotics I had taken weeks prior to this horrible pain was a side effect. Fast forward, 10 months prescribed this antibiotic again and still have "tennis elbow pain" on the same arm I had the shoulder pain in. I linked this pain,  IT WAS LEVOFLOXACIN!! It wasn't anything I did it was this awful drug that I took for 15 days. In 15 days this drug destroyed my arm! I have damaged fingernails, muscle pains, and I still cannot grasp and hang onto objects. My dominant arm has been ruined, all because I had 2 ear infections."


"Asacol stopped working and switched to Lialda and right back to remission!"


"Botox, in short, gave me my life back.  It's literally a life saver."


"I have been on this med for 3 months. 10mg a day I can't sleep and I cry alot. My tightness in my chest is gone, but I still feel blah. "


"I take 50 mg of Trazodone and 1 mg of Risperdal for my racing thoughts and 40 mg of Celexa for my depression all at bedtime and the Risperdal is good. I get really hungry from it though. I always snack now before I get to sleep. Besides the hunger I like this in addition to my other medicines. Before I would have racing thoughts that kept me from sleeping and now I don't have as many which is great!"


"Abreva was a god-send. I  to apply at the first tingle and cold sore would not even develop .
 Fast forward a couple of years , (about 1-2 sores tried to come out per year but I was successful in full stop) Abreva no longer works.
It even appears to spread the blisters? I no longer feel the numbing sensation that I used to from the abreva cream.
I'm so disappointed ! I feel like I may have become immune to the cream or else the formula has changed."


"My daughter was forced have a baclofen pump at the age of 2 and 2 months after brain injury before anything else was tried. They set pump at 497mcg sent her home on clonazepam, diazepam, trazdone and nurotin  She is so tight I couldn't get her hands to open without force. I changed doctors as they reduced the meds she loosened up more and more is able to move and use a gait trainer. Introduced botox was introduced first time 7mo ago only gave 1 injection each hamstring and 1 in each abudctor to see how she would respond. I was amazed I can't wait to see next treatment. I totally recommend boxtox"


"I was put on levofloxacin 750mg once a day for 5 days for pneumonia.  I was put on Z pack at first but by day 4 I felt the same, I was then switched to Augmentin and after 10 days of that , still the same with a little bit of symptoms changed . I was then but on Levofloxacin. I read all the reviews and worked myself up being scared to take it.  I promised myself I would write a review afterwards.  I didn’t have any of the mentioned side effects. I know everyone is different.  As far as body aches , I have bursitis in my shoulder anyways so that hurt a bit more but not unbearable.  I would have to say that if your prescribed it, don’t get yourself worked up when reading the reviews.  I finished yesterday and I feel better.  It helped me."
