"Took just one tablet, I was rushed to hospital I could not even pick my hand up. Sadly someone gave me a 2nd dose in hospital the next day, 20 mins later I went into.. ANAPHYLAXIS SHOCK .. I had 8 Drs round my bed doing so many things. Thank GOD for those  8 Drs ACTING so FAST. Had I not been in hospital that day. I would not be here now to tell my Story. I was told is was a very close call even though I was in hospital.
This was a truly Terrifying thing to      happen. I am now so scared to take any antibiotic.

"Good medicine."


"Severe nausea. Dry heaves and vomiting."


"I'm a sophomore. My freshman year was horrible though. I was always self-conscious about my acne. It even got to the point where I would carry a small mirror everywhere and I would just look at myself to make sure I didn't get another pimple. Both my mom and my doctor told me to go on the pill (also my period was so irregular i once got it for a whole month and then I wouldn't have it for months) but I was so scared because I thought I was going to break out so badly at the beginning. My mom got so worried about me having my period for so long that she forced me to take it. It was the best decision of my life. I advice anyone with acne problems to take it it can be scary at the beginning but please it will help you. Good luck:))"


"I have been on Lotrel for 3 weeks and I'm having several side effects. I'm very lethargic, no energy (no energy to exercise), I even fall asleep an hour after taking the medicine, depressed, my head tingles, my fasting glucose has risen at least 10 points and the worst is I have gained 15 pounds! I had lost 30lbs and maintained since August. It was difficult and the weight loss was slow. My eating hasn't increased. My husband agrees. Morbid obesity can raise your blood pressure. This medicine is pulling my blood pressure down but the side effects are essentially making things worse. This medication isn't a good fit for me."


"My stomach feels like it is going to pop.  I don't feel like eating because I am so bloated.  Just trying to get through the last 2 days.  It did stop my toothache!"


"I was prescribed Paxil when I was 25 for panic attacks and took it for a few years. It helped but gave me sexual side effects. It was making me have a hard time to ejaculate. I changed to citalopram 20mg when I was 28. It has been workin well until now, Im 35. Two ago I stopped taking it an I was doing fine. A month ago I had a few drinks and decided to do a little cocaine. Bad move. My anxiety exploded. Started taking 30mg of citalopram daily since then. It still doesnt work after a month so my doctor prescribed me .5 Clonazepam when needed. When I feel really anxious, I take .25 and it wards off any anxiety. I feel back to normal. I hope the citalopram will start its effect soon and I dont have to take Clonazepam anyone but it helps."


"Since i started using this cream i am re-leaved from pimples and i noticed one thing in some pimples it take long time to use so its not gonna work always in 3 days sometimes it take more then 3 days it depends in the size of the pimple and how infected it is keep on using it and it will work...."


"I have very frequent bladder infections and I take Cipro. It always works except for this time. I took it twice yesterday as prescribed but I woke up every hour last night having to go. I've never had a problem with it not working, but maybe I'm developing an immunity to it because of the amount I get bladder infections."


"Doesn't help my back pain."


"I bought the one-dose ovule because I'm a "let's hurry up and get this over with" kind of person. It's been a little over 24 hours since I inserted the ovule and I'm still on fire.  I hurt so bad I almost can't walk. I'm swollen so bad that I can't stand even for the cotton cloth of my clothing to touch me. I had to sleep with an ice pack between my legs last night! I have a pretty high pain tolerance - given birth 3 times and have passed numerous kidney stones - but this is ridiculous!! I called the doctor today and they phoned out some diflucan.  Don't waste your money on this product.  It's not worth the pain!!"


"It didn't help with my cough or sleep like the Nurse said. I had better results with OTC meds."


"I have taken this and I had a very bitter taste in my mouth and still do as the course isn't finished but I do not want to take it anymore. Couldn't stop coughing and I haven't got a cold but have got a coughing tic however, it was worse with this medicine. Please try to avoid taking this unless u absolutely have to."


"I switched to Topamax from Lamictal to see if it would control my bipolar disorder and help me lose weight. My mood and sleep have been incredible and I have lost 15 lbs in 6 weeks on Topamax. I was a little worried about having memory problems but have not suffered this side effect at all. Have a little tingling in my feet at night but not bad enough to stop taking it. Overall I highly recommend this medication for bipolar disorder."


"Nothing - I experienced Nothing. I would Not suggest this product to Anyone. after wasting $64.00 I am so Disappointed"


"It works but I haven't tried any other forms of testosterone so I am not sure how well it is working. It has been helpful to me though."


"I took Milk of Magnesia at around 10 pm after being constipated for about four days. I drank half the bottle. At four o'clock in the morning I woke up to terrible cramps. I sat in the bathroom for almost thirty minutes until I got a solid stool. Then I spent the next four/ five hours dealing with violent diarrhea."


"Had a precautionary CT scan on my chest several days after hip surgery and after experiencing some pain in my  chest. The contrast agent used was Omnipaque 350. About 8 hours later when lying down in bed I felt itching on my back which persisted into the night. On inspection I could see that a hives type rash had formed between my shoulder blades. This gradually subsided over about 10 days.

Note that the scan showed up a small infection for which I was prescribed a penicillin antibiotic. I took this about 3 hours before the rash appeared so my doctor changed the antibiotic as a precaution in case that caused the rash. I have never been allergic to penicillin  so in my mind the Omnipaque remains the culprit"


"we used regularly in ICU, very few side effects, patients fell asleep quickly & returned to alertness quickly. Dosage needs varied between patients. We also used for what is called 'conscious sedation' for out patient procedures. Again dosage needs do vary between people and it is not just height and weight. It takes an experienced practitioner to use in conscious sedation. I worked in the ICU for 7 years. I had for upper endoscopy w/o side effects during or after procedure."


"I got the implanon about a year and a half ago when the PA at planned parenthood recommended it. I got the implant in February and finished my last period in May. I haven't had any spotting. I did notice getting more acne and irritability for about two or so months after it was implanted but now my mood had evened off and my skin is back to what it was before the implant. So far I don't have any complaints, I'm actually quite surprised to read all of these negative reviews."


"When I first went on this medication 300mg I did not like it at all. I had side effects of a type of floating- my head wasn't attached to my body- I'd be disorientated, only for a short time, but frequently at first. I don't really remember any other side effect.  I wanted to stop taking this. I was 300 SR then went to normal Seroquel.  Being on standard Seroquel helped.  I asked to change off Seroquel and was told its a good medicine and just give it time- 6 weeks. Wow, I didn't like that idea.  I did give it time,  I was tried of a day, so went back to 150mg- over time I've been on 200mg also and now 300mg.  I am so grateful to myself for hanging in there.  I choose to be on Seroquel,  I sleep a deep sleep, for me, I am happy. Very happy."


"I was on this for ADHD and while I did see a noticeable improvement in my ability to concentrate and not be running around acting all hyper, it worked a little too well if you know what I mean. I had a heck of a time getting ready for school and I'd fall asleep on the bus ride there (I was in high school at the time). I also couldn't keep my head up in first period and would constantly snap awake at loud sounds or giggles in the classroom, not realizing I'd even fallen asleep. It wouldn't wear off until second or third period, so mornings were awful. I would be so zombie-like and sleepy no matter how much rest I got the night before. Eventually I quit taking it because I didn't like feeling like a walking corpse in the mornings."


"I've been on this for 4 years, never had any issues! Sex drive is just fine, skin is always clear, and my mood is pretty much always chill! It's been my favorite birth control by far

Forgot to put my rating on the last one so had to submit this again but I give it a 10"


"My first was fine no problems at all. My second implant well  day to day headaches, feeling low and put on 2 stone in 9 months. No energy, bleeding every 2 weeks was not what I wanted. I'd rather have my tubes tied... please be aware not all implants are the same. You may have a good 3 years but the next one could be horrible"


"I was told I had to lose 44lbs in 3 months so I could have IVF. I've been using Victoza for 3.5 weeks and I've lost 14lbs. Took 0.6 for the first 2 days and been on 1.2 ever since. I had some nausea and lethargy for the first 4 days, but after that I felt great. I've been working out about 5 - 6 days per week and feeling strong.

I wanted to ask whether Victoza side-effects get a "second wind" after a while, because today I feel terrible. I had a rather fatty meal yesterday for lunch, but a small portion. Felt ill almost instantly and have been feeling headachy, queasy and "fuzzy" all day today.  I also think I might have a fever.

I am very healthy otherwise, so I don't think it can be anything but Victoza.  I have ZERO appetite today."


"I took this medicine last night and, boy did I regret. Within 3 hrs I began having BM and decided to use the restroom at midnight. After a short period I began feeling nauseated and dizzy. And it got worse the longer I stayed in the restroom. It felt like someone was ripping my intestines. The tummy aches were so excruciating. I felt so hot inside but, my body was cold. My legs felt so weak I couldn't even get up. I also felt so thirsty. After an hour in the restroom, I felt I was dying. I gathered the little strength left and rush to the bedroom to ask my wife to call 911 or drive me to the ER. I kept drinking cold milk and water till we got to the hospital, which was closed. By the time we turned around, I started feeling better"


"I started Zoloft 2 weeks ago for obsessive compulsive disorder. At first I hated the thought of being on a medicine that controls your mood at the age of 19. Anxiety went up like crazy when I first started at 50mg, and I was thinking this is not going to work, and that I should just get off the medicine. I stayed on strong with hope and 2 days ago I woke up feeling like my old self! I had a lot of energy, I did not have any anxiety at all, the racing thoughts in my head were gone to the point where I felt awesome! My old self is back within 2 weeks because of Zoloft. If you are concerned about this medicine, try it for at least a month if not longer, it gave me great results so far with no side effects, and it can do the same for you."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

"I don't think that it is helping my body my legs feel weaker everyday and I  have been feeling lightheaded. And my doctor will not listen to me, she says they are working . She will get an ear full in the next two weeks if she will not listen I will have to find another doctor."


"I have battled with Bipolar, depression for many years. And all my problems peaked now that I'm back from Afghanistan. Been on many different medicines through the years. I started taking Wellbutrin approximately 3 weeks ago. And it is now starting to take effect. The only reason it didn't get a higher score from me is because the medication just started to kick in and its not at its full effect. I work as a paramedic and have also dealt with many people with everything from bipolar to schizophrenia. Anyone that's been in this situation know that there is initial effects but the people who say it is working after a day or two are experiencing a placebo effect. These medicines affect chemicals in your brain. Therefore take time to take full effect. "


"I have been on Alesse/Aviane for 10 years. It was the first and only birth control pill I have ever used and chose it over others on purpose. I chose it because it is one of the lowest-dose oral contraceptives on the market, and the progesterone they use (levonorgestrel) is very close to the molecular makeup of natural progesterone. The only symptoms I experienced during the first month was breast tenderness and clearer skin (I used to have adolescent acne). I know some individuals have experienced more severe symptoms than I have described. I think it boils down to your own body's hormonal balance."


"Started the low dose for 10 days and now on the higher dose for 4 days now. Starting weight was 386 I'm 5'7 female and 54 yrs old, so now it's been 14 days and I weighed in at 372  this pill works you just have to focus and not eat.  Staying with low carb foods. Salads, egg white omelettes, strawberries. I am hypothyroidism but still can't use that as an excuse. I ate because I enjoyed food. Now I must eat smaller portions and really cut back. This pill has taken the edge off. The only side effect is I've been thirsty. I drink plenty of water so it's been controlled.  My doctor wanted me down 20 - 30 pounds in 3 months. I hope to do that in 2 months. Just stay focus. Study the course and you can succeed."


"I started Nexplanon August 2015 after I had previously been on LoSeasonique birth control for 7 years, which gave me periods every 3 months.  The first 6 months on Nexplanon were great, no period!  Then I started getting cystic acne, deep painful acne under the skin that wouldn't go away.  I tried everything to get rid of the acne but nothing helped, my OBGYN said it was hormonal due to the implant.  Then I started getting irregular periods, and it was dark brown and clumpy.  Fast forward to February 2017, my acne is down to 2 bumps at a time but the periods start and stop without notice.  Some days it'll be so bad that I even get cramps.  Is it great that I don't have to worry about taking a pill? - Yes.  But the side effects suck."


"I was supposed to take this for supressive therapy, but I stopped after my outbreak because I couldn't stand the side effects. This pill made me dizzy and I could hardly function at work. I don't know if this or the HSV 1 is worse."


"This medicine helped with my cough but keeps me wired and wide awake and all I want to do is sleep because I am miserable. The pharmicist said it should help me sleep but apparently it has the opposite effect on me."


"It slowed down my contractions pretty fast, but when it wore off the pain would start again. The reason why I stopped taking it was because it gave me a massive headache, my sinus area was hurting so bad and my ears felt like they were going to pop, other than that good medication to control contractions"


"So, I took a chlamydia test thinking nothing of it because I’d never had unprotected sex and I thought the people I’d slept with were tested and no stds, turns out someone wasn’t and you can get chlamydia from oral and just genitals touching, so please be super careful with having safe sex, a condom can’t always protect you so just make sure your partners are all checked between EACH partner! I took 4 white pills and was so nervous but had no side effects apart from a little diarrhoea about 7 hours later. However, my partner and I had sex with a condom before the 7 days you are supposed to wait were up (stupid I know) and it didn’t stay on 100% so instead of going back to the doctors, doing a test and waiting to see my doctor and get a prescription which would take about 2/3 weeks in all I decided to order some from a high-street pharmacy which was way more expensive but I picked them up in a few hours. (If you’re in the UK its about £8 at the doctors if you’re over 18, at a high-street pharmacy like superdrug its £27 ish) These are two blue pills and took them 9 hours ago, some mild stomach pains and gas but that might just have been nerves and no vomiting or diarrhoea so far. Make sure you eat before and drink water. Basically, don’t be afraid to take them because not everyone gets awful side effects and make sure you and your partner are up to date with checks before having sex! Oh, and wait at absolute least a week but preferably two before having sex again even with protection, otherwise it could be painful and costly! Good luck!"


"When I first started taking it I was skeptical, I was nauseous for the entire 1st month I was on it, it was really bad, but once I got used to it, about 4 months in my period became super regular, came on the night of the 4th pill every month since then and I loved that about this pill. I did gain weight not because of the pill, simply b/c of my eating habits & lack of exercise. One negative is that I got super crampy a week before my period & during up until the 3rd day then it stopped. My cramps actually got worse on the pill but that was the only bad part. My periods did get even lighter (they were always light) and shorter. My periods ended up being 4 days with the 5th day really being about not messing up my good panties."


"I just have to share this with individuals struggling to keep their skin clear.  I came off BC pills about 9 months ago.  In fact, the BC pills were the only thing breaking me out, no matter what I used. I was only on these pills for about 8 months and decided to let them go!!  The damage done afterwards was horrid!!!!!! If you need to find the right BC, let your Doctor know.  But this Tretinoin 0.05% cream has been a blessing for me.This line really does help:) I only use Tretinoin 0.05% at night, This is my 3rd month in, but key is consistency use. The purge phase is awful, but my doctor told me it gets worse before it gets better! Stick it out:)"


"My son was 6 when diagnosed.  Adderall finally came to our rescue.  Eventually it did not work long enough, so we give him a wake-up dose of 5mg IR, an 8am XR dose, then a 3pm IR dose to help with aftercare and homework.  This has continued to work for 3 years.  We tried Intuniv because his ODD and impulsivity was leading to threats of suspending him from school.  After 2 days we realized his BP was lower (too low), but he didn't pass out.  After 2 weeks, his reacting to people was no longer on the calm side, he was emotional about everything, more impulsive and more defiant, not him at all.  We decided to take him off.  At least we can say that we tried, but it just did not work for my son, but it may for others."


"I got my Skyla IUD put in 3 weeks ago. I have continued to take my birth control pills (as directed from doctor) to help decrease cramps and bleeding. I haven't bled much at all. Cramps have almost about killed me. I get sharp pain cramps to where I can't breathe or it will make it hurt more. This pain is almost unbearable. People who are interested, just know it all matters on how your body is and how much pain tolerance you have. I am scared of childbirth after this small procedure. I think Skyla is great and I hope it is worth this pain. Just be prepared for good or bad. My best friend got one and she is better than she has ever been. No cramps. No blood. So it just matters on your body."


"Nuvigil works really well. The effectiveness does slightly wears off after several consecutive days with the dose, but taking a day or two off of the medication has restored effectiveness for me. The only side effect I've experienced in the last month and a half is headaches (infrequently, at that). Be wary of mixing caffeine with Nuvigil. In my case, caffeine increases palpitation-like symptoms, increases jitteriness, and has even provoked hallucinations more than once."


"A little over a week ago the condom broke during sex. So within 20 minutes we went and got the pill and I took it. I have always had an irregular period, meaning I go months sometimes without periods, so I had no idea what stage I was at within my menstrual cycle. After 8 long days of cramps, back pain, tender breasts, and serious mood swings, I got a period! If it worked for me, it will work for you, too. The key is to take it as soon as possible and to remain calm. The more stressed you are, the longer you'll go without a period. And yes, you may have some terrible symptoms. But at the moment, it's better than being pregnant!"


"I was prescribed Toradol for pain management after a breast reduction recently, and after spine surgery years ago. I found it ineffective both times. I switched to Tylenol extra strength, which is only slightly better for pain, but without the side effects.
After spine surgery, I took one Toradol then threw out the bottle and switched, I also used an ice pack throughout the day.
The pain after my breast reduction was much more severe, so I gave the Toradol a few days hoping it would work, but it just gave me horrible stomach pain in addition to the pain from surgery.
I don't recommend it for severe pain, and will ask for something else in the future"


"I've been taken parnate for 8wks now. It has helped my depression,ptsd tremondsly. I started off at 20mgs, and now im at 30mgs. I follow the strict diet and don't allow myself to have anything with tyramine. (Maybe I'm a little to cautious?) The side effects that I can't stand But I tolerate...are bp drop, dizzy almost fall over,extreme fatique when parnate is supposed to give you energy. I will stay in a place for some time like I have no ambition. I have lost a lot of weight on parnate. That has to be the best side effect! :) Rarely have a appetite, nor do i care to Drink anything half the time. I wish I knew what to do so I don't get those horrible dizzy spells. They happen maybe 5 or more times a day. And I have to hold on to the wall."


"I decided to do some research on Suprep.  Saw a lot of positive and negative comments.  But one positive comment caught my attention.   This person mentioned using Berry flavored Propel water.  I decided to give this a try with my first dose.  So I bought some and made sure it was very cold.   I mixed it with the first bottle of Suprep, plugged my nose and downed it fast.  I was surprised it was not bad, yes I could taste that salty taste afterwards but I washed it down with the remaining 6 ounces of Propel and then finished the next two 16oz glasses of water in an hour.  It kicked in about hour & a half later (bathroom trips about every 30 min).  Next morning was easier, and procedure went very well, Good till 2026!"


"My son was prescribed Mirtazapine for severe anxiety. It helped a little bit and also his medicine for his bi polar disorder helped (Depakote).
However,  once the anxiety decreased he should have had the Mirtazapine stopped by the psychiatrist.  This did not happen and he eventually had a severe psychotic breakdown where he tried to smash up his home, attacked his partner and believed aliens were after him . He was in hospital for over 2 months after the police had him sectioned."


"I take 15 mg three times a day along with Ritalin 20 mg three times a day and I am so glad my Doc found this combo!!!! I'm 36 and extremely overweight and I got the got up and go that I never had and the help to keep my mind on very important things and people in my life, like my kids!!"


"I used NuvaRing for 4 years. My husband and I decided we wanted a baby, and within the first month of not using NR I was pregnant. I love that it doesn't effect my fertility permanently  I put a reminder in my phone for removal and reinsertion. It's a great BC method."


"I've just started this, I've taken 2 doses and I know it's supposed to take a couple of weeks to start to work, but I can already feel a difference."


"I was prescribed haldol for aggression  (agitation) when I was hospitalized for bipolar disorder. The psychiatrist I had had a very abrasive personality and prescribed it after I hauled off on staff without telling me anything about it, not even the name. I became extremely shaky, could not hold my head up, was very drowsy and just couldn't function. I literally screamed at my doctor to take me off of it when he gave me something to counteract the shakiness. I was fine then. When I was discharged he was going to give me straight haldol, but I argued with him  (and won)."


"I re-started Adepex today. Full dose. I had amazing results 2 years ago. Went off it, but gained 40 lbs back. Unlike some user reviews, I can tell you the weight gain was NOT a result of quitting Adipex. It was poor choices in diet and lack of exercise. I got lazy. But NOT because I quit taking Adipex.

I started today because I need help. It is a potent drug. And it will make you not want to eat. EAT ANYWAY. When you don't, you WILL experience mood swings and hostility. The purpose of this drug is to HELP you make better food choices and to get into a good exercise routine. Drink LOTS of water and EAT every three hours. Do some research BEFORE taking this drug. It can be EXTREMELY beneficial if you use it the right way.

Good luck all."


"I was given Contrave while on a weight management program with my clinic. I was very wary of taking anything and knew I didn't want a stimulant such as phentermine. I decided to give it a shot after gaining again the first week. The first day I was extremely nauseous and was wary to try again. The nausea didn't come back at all (I usually eat soon after taking it) but I did have headaches occasionally at first. I still do not know if the headaches were related to the medication because I get headaches frequently. In the four weeks that I have been on the medication I have lost seven pounds. I explained it to my Doctor as "willpower in a bottle". It doesn't reduce my appetite but helps me fight cravings."


"I was diagnosed with IC a few years ago. I had UTI's for 28 yrs. I still get them once in a while. I was introduced to Elmiron and took it for four year. I totally helped me. Unfortunately I had to stop taking it. The cost of this medication is absolutely ridiculous! I have a high deductible, which means I was paying out of pocket. It started out at $300. Moving up and up and up. In the end I was paying over $600. I just couldn't do it anymore. It disgusts me what these Pharmacudical company's charge! My symptoms are back. It's bearable. But at the same times frustrating when I travel. I've tried the generic company. Saying it would be $99. A month. Only to be told it will eventually go up to $400. Unbelievable."

"I have started getting severe anxiety and panic attacks since been pregnant. It was so severe I couldn't leave the house. I was prescribed Prozac but had a bad reaction wich put me of taking further medication. I started seeing a cognitive thereapist wich eased my anxiety a little but I would have good days and really bad days. On a bad anxiety episode at 25 weeks pregnant I went back to my G.P willing to try medication again she prescribed me diazepam 2mg dose used up to 3 times a day only for my bad days. It took me a week to combat my fear and take my first pill wich I did yesterday and what a difference for the first time in 6 months I felt calm and my anxiety was gone. I would highly recommend this medicine don't suffer x"


"I literally just started taking it yesterday and already I feel phentermine working. I haven't physically run in over 5 years. Last night I biked a half a mile, walked a full mile, and ran 2.8 miles. The energy was amazing. My appetite was curbed and I didn't get the urge to snack throughout the day - a big problem for me. I love that I'm drinking tons of water because it helps flush out my system. I got on the scale this morning and had already lost 6.6 lbs. I know that won't continue forever, but it's a start!"

"Works great"


"I started using this medication and I immediately felt the effects. For a few hours after taking it everyday, I felt mildy nauseous, slightly confused and quite high. After it wore off, I was left with loss of appetite (which caused me to feel quite sick), insomnia and yawning often. I also experienced delayed/abnormal orgasm (I am a 20 year old woman). It did make me feel a lot happier and energetic. And the bad side effects got better and better everyday, except for the sexual side effects which remained the same. I've decided to stop taking it because of the sexual side effects. I don't want it to affect my relationship."


"I GAINED 25 lbs in the 2 months I was on this pill. I also had no sex drive at all. My hubby is not liking that at all. My breast did go up and for me already being a full D was not good. I will be switching back to the ring! I hope the weight comes off fast!"


"I used xopenex for the first time yesterday and found it to be very effective. It works fast and releaves the symptoms, I had no side effects."


"I wish i was told what would happen!!!

The wonder drug. No depression. Little anxiety. Seemed like my problems were fixed with one little wonder pill. 50mg pristiq a day...

Its been 8 months and i barely feel anything. This is no way to live life. Sure, im not as suisidal, not as anxious, not as depressed and im not flipping my lid every other day but i am numb, bored, barely characteristic, i dont find joy often nor do i care to create it. This is no quick fix!!

Also, in that 8 months i have gone from 57kg to 66kg. Not a welcomed weight gain! Sex life is shit, affecting my relationship as my needs and wants have changed to nearly not caring wether i have it or not.

But the worst part, IS MISSING A DOSE! I cant funtion without it.."


"I got the IUD put in at the end of June 2015.  It was a painful insertion!  I have endometriosis and was told that this would help lessen the pain and irregular bleeding caused by it.  So far, I am debating if I want to get it taken out.  I have been having a constant period for the last (almost) 7 months and can barely remember going a whole week without bleeding.  I got married in October and was hoping that it would have 'settled in' by then and I would be worry free for my wedding and honeymoon... wrong.  I was still bleeding.  I am not sure what to do at this point."


"I was having difficulty getting diagnosed because I was not having grand mal seizures.
I was, however, having about 80 simple partial seizures a month for 10 years straight. We thought maybe anxiety. Nothing was picked up on scans cause it was impossible for me to know exactly when it would happen, so it was never happening while scans were performed. Finally, 10 years later, they turned into grand mals. I started on Keppra 2 years ago and have not had a single seizure since. 3500mg daily. To go from 80 a month to NONE at all... This stuff had given me my life back. And no side effects for me!"


"Ask you doctor to prescribe Marinol(dronainol) to cure you of your MAJOR Nausea problem.  If you are taking large doses of medicines for CANCER OR HIV/AIDS then you probably get nauseous A LOT! We all know that its hard to get anything done when you are nauseated all day. This medicine is a game changer and a life saver. I would go as far as to say that this is a miracle. I'm still in shock how well it is helping my nausea since nothing I ever took before helped as much as this medicine!"


"Works so fast. Best help I ever had to control irritable bowel syndrome. Doctors should have given this a long time ago instead of me suffering for 25 years."


"Like many others have written, this drug has dramatically improved my quality of life. I have been taking it for about 1 year and have been too busy feeling good to write a review.
Before: I was plagued with extreme panic, afraid to be alone, afraid to take a shower, constantly worrying, "what if" scenarios, thought I would have to quit my job, lost weight because of NO appetite.
Now: all I can say is pretty much living like a normal person! I do feel anxious at times, but I didn't want to turn into a robot w no feelings! I am thriving at work, socially have made new friends, can concentrate so well (this might be my favorite part), no sexual side effects whatsoever, weight maintained at a healthy level. 5mg

I am so thankful for this drug"


"I've been on this for 14 days and I feel miserable. Placed on it to help regulate my periods and instead I feel like I am on my period 24/7 because of the constant cramping.  I was on accutane for a year and it cleared up all my acne. I start this and I start breaking out. I feel sick, my throat hurts and my stomach is aching. I don't want to eat or drink anything. Nothing else has changed in my life except for this pill.  Judging from the reviews, this isn't normal. I'm gonna stop taking this because it honestly sucks."


"I started using Epiduo at the end of January and it is now the end of April and my skin has improved so much! I suffered from a lot of clogged pores and black heads that would turn into the pimples with the gross pus. It was severe or anything like that, but having clogged pores on my cheeks was just a nightmare and makeup always made them look obvious.

My skin now has only 2-3 black heads that are going away on their own. My skin never purged all at once where my skin looked worse. It was really gradual. The clogged pores went away or they sometimes came up, but never all at once so totally manageable.My advice with this stuff is to 1. Give it time. You definitely need to give it 3 months to do its thing and 2. moisturize!"


"i have had the nexplanon for 3 years; i just got it re-done i love it. i dont have to worry about a pill everyday or going to the doctor every 3 months. its been really good. i have gain a few pounds, my periods are very regular. one a month for 5 days. i love it"


"I got viberzi and took 2 pills a day 75 mg....I took them for  2 weeks and had to stop. I couldn't have a  bowel movement...I woke up one Sunday morning at 4 am and my stomache felt like a volcano. Finally I had a bowel movement and it felt like I lost 20 pounds... It didn't work for me because you cannot go that long without a bowel movement. I Got this medicine for IBS and diarrhea..It stopped the diarrhea and stopped all bowel movement..I literally thought I was going to die because my stomache was hurting so bad. I was hoping this medicine would work but it didn't..."


"The side effects are everything that has been described. For me headache stomach ache (mild) but with each dose increase they return and then subside as my body adjusts to the dosage. Very tired but can't sleep more than 6 hours. But the real success 21 lbs in three weeks..amazing. I am also following intermittent fasting (16/8) with this, only small amount of carb 25g in the morning and then fruits veggies and protein for the remainder of day. Blood sugar better. NOTHING ELSE has worked for me. I love Victoza!!!"


"Awesome medication. I got a really bad yeast infection that kept coming back after two Z-packs. I took three, three days apart and it completely got rid of it. The inflammation lingered for a bit because the tissue was damaged, which is apparently normal according to WebMD and my doctor.

Once I got an upset stomach from taking it, but that could have easily been avoided if I ate something with it."


"Started Otezla 7 days ago, I usually tolerate new drugs well but this was different, the nausea was the worst on the first three days but I think my body is starting to adjust. I have spent the last week in bed but I'm starting to see my plaque starting to clear . I will update in a week hopefully my body will be fully adjusted to Otezla"


"I have been taking Skelaxin every since 1994. I was suffering with Fibromyalgia. I had a bad car accident and had no clue what Fibromyalgia was. I found out and Fibromyalgia is not pleasant at all. I finally found a doctor that properly diagnosed me and he prescribed me Skelaxin. I don't know what I would have done without it. I have tried other muscle relaxers and they did not work or they made me too drowsy to function. I am much better now and I usually take one Skelaxin at night before I go to bed."


"I took Vesicare for interstitial cystitis and it was life changing! I'd go to the bathroom about every 7 to 10 minutes for a period of about 5 hours during the day and 3 to 4 times at night and pretty much incontinent. I was miserable. Only side effects I had was dry mouth and constipation. But me only going to the bathroom every few hours, less pain, and not waking up at night was worth it to me. I Lost my insurance that paid for it and had to be off of it for a year and just now got assistance for it through my dr office pharmacy and I couldn't be more happy to get back on it and start feeling better!"


"its been almost a year using Yaz and ever since i started it changed my cycle completely, the color of my period change to a dark brown color, my flow even changed. Cramping did not stop but infact made it worse. so a month back i wanted to skip my period so i did not take the white pills, after having skipped them  started spotting, a week later i got my period which lasted for longerthan usual for approximately two weeks. i then consulted my doctor who gave me pills to stop the flow but it still persisted even today im still spotting. im confused and very worried as i dont know what to do. if i stop taking Yaz i know that the bleeding will continue so question is how do i make it stop."


"Tramadol is a good medication that can take care of a wide range of pain. This medication is a great sub to addictive meds.  A medication that only manages the pain and does not manage your mental state."


"No issues or problems experienced at all. Been on this pill for almost two years and I am 46 years old.   "


"I am just finishing up my 3rd pack aka finishing my 3rd month and I haven't ever felt depressed like this ever before. Sure the first months I got some mood swings and i was very emotional but now my anxiety is being triggered and I have no appetite! Al I want to do is stay home and sleep, I feel sad and uninterested in anything.. Will be switching soon and hopefully I can go back to happy me.. Didn't experience any weight gain and it did not help with my acne."


"This pill cleared up so many of my mental and physical symptoms that it's difficult to list them all. Gone are the black-and-white thinking, the ceaseless pain of existing, the social anxiety, irrational and confused thoughts, inability to truly engage with the world, hopelessness, blank future, exhaustion no matter how much I sleep, procrastination, and psychic agony that only self-harm could alleviate. Not only can I hold an extended conversation with someone, I'm also able to appreciate this improvement in my life instead of feeling like it doesn't matter.

Unfortunately, my libido is also gone. Since it was low to begin with, I don't miss it too much, but one day I'd like to know what having a libido is like. Wellbutrin, perhaps?"


"I was started on 5mg for anxiety that was severely disabling me. I had a dreadful jittery nervous feeling all the time, couldn't lift a cup of coffee without spilling it because of the shakes, had a dreadful nauseous seasick feeling. When I started the medication I felt a lot worse for about a week but gradually I began to notice a difference. Shakes were not so bad, could hold my teeth together without chattering. Then the nausea subsided. My doctor decided to increase the dosage to 10mg. It was hell for a week. The symptoms were back with a vengeance. Then after a week they settled down, I began to feel very calm and centred and my anxiety was hugely lessened. This medication has been a lifesaver."


"Praulent dropped my cholesterol quickly and significantly.

Unfortunately, the last 3 injections have been followed within a couple of hours by a rapid, irregular heart rate.

Has anyone else experienced this "side effect"?"


"I started taking Adderall when I was 26 y/o and it was AMAZING for about 2 years. My dose started out at 30mg/day in the beginning and after 2 years was up to 60mg/day (30 mg IR twice daily). I started getting increasingly paranoid, losing, what seemed like, more and more sleep with each passing month. I kept thinking that I was seeing red and blue lights on my walls at night, which made me think the cops were after me outside. Even though I didn't do anything that would require police assistance. Until one day when I lost my mind, literally. I was taken by ambulance to the hospital and put on a 72 hour psychiatric hold for which I ended up staying at the hospital almost 2 week. Diagnosed with amphetamine induced schizoaffective disorder!!!"


"I am on Implanon right now. I haven't gained weight no mood swings just my normal attitude and I haven't gotten my period for like a year and a half and love it but I came here to find out if that was normal. I have been having some serious cramps that don't feel like period cramps or even close. They are a little higher and might be something very painful like something to do with my gall bladder but I have to ask around without going to a doctor. I don't like going to doctors."


"It was a good medicine for me."


"I was going through a very deep and dark depression for several months. Prozac was the very anti-depressant to work for me. After about 2 weeks, I could tell the medication was really working. I wasn't having constant OCD related circling thoughts that made my depression worse and I wasn't on the verge of crying every second. This pill is a MIRACLE for me. No side effects, maybe weight gain but I'm also eating again when before I was barely eating and dropped 10 lbs. Definitely take the medication at night because it'll make you tired if you take it in the morning."


"Been obese all my life. Weighed 385 5'5. 30 years old. No kids. Divorced. Made an appointment with new psychiatrist for anti depressants. Uterine Cancer diagnosis a year ago. Dark times. Oncologist won't perform my major surgery because of my weight and complication during prior surgery (had trouble breathing on the table). Dr prescribed me cymbalta for pain and depression and topamax 25mg at night to help lose weight. I lost 10 lbs in 10 days. Keep in mind I had started working out 3-4 times a week for 9 weeks before our appt. I spend 20 mins straight on the elliptical and 20 mins free weights, cardio, low weight high reps.  Soda and Coffee tastes like crap to me now and I was addicted to both. I stop eating when I'm full. I feel hungry a lot less"


"I started taking Savella approximately 4 weeks ago.  I take it in the morning with food and in the evening after dinner.  I have had no nausea though I do have hot flashes, increased sweating, some panic symptoms, and today had a real strange feeling of my arms and upper body feeling "tingly" inside.  That made me panic, still not sure what that was.  I have also experience constipation (mild), being very tired (before taking I was exhausted, so I was told maybe tired is an improvement over exhausted), and losing weight (though will NOT complain about that side effect).  I have lost 6 lbs. in the last 3 weeks.  It has helped my pain and I no longer wake up during the night with the muscle achiness in my outer thigh area."


"So I took plan b and it definitely worked, BUT the pain afterwards was TERRIBLE. The pain didn't start until after a couple weeks I right before my period. The pain I had in my stomach was a pain I never felt before! I couldn't even eat. As soon as I swallowed food it was pain I couldn't eat for 3 days. I guess I can't complain because it worked I rather that than a baby "


"I feel like I can breathe!  This is the only medicine that resolves my ADD symptoms. I have tried everything else and they just can't compare. Totally makes it so I have the courage to live again, to walk up to people I don't know and talk to them, to feel less depressed, to stand up for myself, and above all to focus on the important things. I wish more doctors were informed of how helpful it really is to people who have adult ADD."


"I've been using 1500 mg of Keppra for about three years now for a very achy head.  Through an MRI, my Dr. found that I have Cerebellar Atrophy.  As long as I take my 750mg dose at the same time each a.m., I  have absolutely no problems anymore with my achy head that I've lived with all of my life, (til the age of 48). If I wake up late, it's not worth it at all.  I'll wake up with an awful headache, that doesn't go away until about 1/2 an hour after I take the Keppra.  I also take 750mg just before bed.  My achy head is in the past now, thanks to Keppra."


"I tried taking Mestinon when I was first diagnosed and it caused bad diarrhea."


"12 years addicted, 4 prison #s, 40 jobs at least, 6 different homes, 3 evictions, 4 children let down. My life has changed! SUBOXONE saved my life! Now active in my church and in treatment I've been clean for 8 months. PRAISE GOD."


"I'm a 44 yr old female I started Contrave on 12/15/15 taking one pill a day. My starting weight was 240.  On 12/22/15 I started on two pills a day the next day I was extremely nauseated all day long.  I got relief from the nausea with dramamine.  As of today I have lost eight pounds & my nausea is not as much but I do experience a little dizziness.  I drink three to four large glasses of water a day if not more.  My cravings for sweets has stopped & when I eat I get full pretty fast & don't have the urge for seconds & stopped drinking soda.   I'm sticking with Contrave I feel it is working for me."


"I have been on Karvia for about 3 months now and noticed that my breast HURT and are so tender. My periods last 4 days now instead of 3. I get mood swings too."


"I have been using tegretol (carbamzepine) since 2008. I have been DX with Multiple Sclerosis  and Trigeminal neuralgia. I was put on Carbarzepine  because of the MS. My first dose started working at 400mg. And worked after a half an hour. Now in 2016. Because of my building a intolerance to the medicine . I am at 1200 mg. I can not live without this medicine. I have TN on both sides of my face. As soon as the shocks calm down I will slowly try to back off the medicine back to 900 mg where I was a month ago. Moving back and forth between doses makes my balance off and me feeling sick. I take the 1200 mg by splitting it into 4 times 8am , 2pm , 7pm and 12am. Not all at once."


"I am so glad I checked this out, I have had this IUD for 9 months. I cannot complain about the periods as they have almost completely stopped except for occasional spotting but I could not figure out why I am gaining weight and having breakouts when I never have them and have been working out/eating right since the births. I think I am having this thing changed out for a non-hormonal releasing IUD since I have had cramping, slight depression, weight gain and acne since it has been placed and no other symptoms before that."


"I was prescribed Robaxin 750mg x 3 daily for muscle spasms via my pain management dr tho I wasn't aware I was having muscle spasm in my lower back. I had failed laminectomy L4/L5 with several back injections post to help with the pain. Nothing has worked. Was on NucyntaER and Oxy 7.5/325  3x daily -this worked beautifully.  Dr changed oxy to 5mg & replaced Robaxin 750 x3.   I  only taken 3 and I have suffered multiple charlie horses in my legs and toes; my leg remains stiff and I am terrified more spasm activity. Already my quality of life has changed for the worse. I am afraid to continue this drug. This is the only thing that has changed and I never had spasms before! Why would I take more?"


"Had Isolated Limb Profusion (Left leg) at MD Anderson Cancer center in Houston in Nov 07. Three cancer tumors returned in the same lower left leg in May 2011. In Aug 2011, started Zelboraf at  4 x 240mg pills twice a day (1960mg total a day). Two tumors disappeared within a month of taking Zelboraf. One resisted for six weeks total and was gone. CT and MRI's could find anything after scanning. In July 2013, the one that resisted, returned along with a 5mm nodule. Had some of the complications I was warned about but nothing serious, just uncomfortable at times. Seems like now the cancer is not responding to the Zelboraf and now looking for alternatives. It gave me more years to live with my daughters. Zelboraf is GREAT."


"I took plan B about a week after my period, when my partner and I had a slip up with a condom. I took it within 4 hours of the condom failing. At first I experienced cramping, light headaches, and some fatigue. After reading reviews I anticipated having some spotting about a week after taking the pill, but that never happened. I was anxious and my period was late. As advised by the packaging, after I was a week late, I took a pregnancy test and got a negative result. More time went by and I continued to get negatives. Finally, a full three weeks late, my period finally came. Plan B worked for me and is a nice option, but I advise couples to be more cautious about their birth control purely based on how stressful taking ec can be."


"I have smoked for 38 years. I liked smoking. I never let my cigarettes run out. They were a friend. I could not imagine life without cigarettes. Chantix changed that. Chantix made cigarettes less important to me. I dwindled down to one cigarette a day over 6 weeks and when the pack ran out, I didn't buy another one. I had the crazy dreams, brief nausea and I also became terse, impatient, and snappy. When I started the 8th week I decided to cut down to one pill a day to wean myself off the drug. I am still smoke free.  My mood has improved.  I feel more like myself only I don't want to smoke. If I can Quit, You can Quit. Try it. LIVE BETTER WITHOUT CIGARETTES. GOOD LUCK!"


"My father died just in his fist month with this medication. Too much side effect and he was feeling well before the medication and as soon he started he died."


"I went on 4/28/15 and as shocked when I weighed in at 189, I'm 5'7".

My walking around weight is typically around 170-175. I started Adipex and went back in June for my check up, I'm down to 174 with steel toes and long sleeve. I was told to avoid the generic and only Adipex, with a coupon it is $50.

The energy boost is great, not too much...just don't take one after about 4 or 5 pm. Now, the interesting part...My weight gain was due to consuming alcohol on an almost daily basis...the Adipex supressed my appetite AND supressed my desire to consume alcohol. I can attribute this to the supression effects of the drug and the dry mouth gives you the desire to drink water or a sports drink."


"Was diagnosed with Chronic Gout in early 2013 after over a decade of periodic attacks - Suffered for 3 straight months when subscribed Uloric - As one should be "gout free" for some weeks before taking - having Chronic gout wasn't possible - so started off along with Cochicine - Over 2 years later - Have never had another gout attack - and best of all - I can eat/drink whatever I want again (Even Shrimp and Beer that were the worst causes for attacks).   My doctor commented he has never seen such dramatic drop in Uric acid levels in my blood tests (although not many patients he has uses it due to the cost - not all insurance companies may cover).  No side affects that seem apparent.  Life changing for the better!"


"I was put on this medication for fibromyalgia and basilar type migraines by my neurologist in high school. I originally went off of it because I could not handle the side effects. I was then bullied by my mother & doctor into going back on to it because "it was my only option".
I became face blind, could not navigate my way around even with a map, memory difficulties. issues doing simple math, became asexual & had no motivation to interact with people.
Towards the end of my time on topamax I was so depressed that I would just sit despondently.
I switched doctors and she immediately stopped it.
The side effects went away after stopping the first time but after the 4yrs on it I still have some side effects that haven't completely gone away."


"My doctor gave me my choices for what medicine I wanted to be on and I chose copaxone.  I've been on  it for 6 months now with little side effects.  The biggest side effect I have is a skin reaction and that goes away in about 20 minutes and I haven't had another attack since I started it.

"


"My 5 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD just yesterday, the Behavior Specialist said his was one of the worst cases that she had seen in a while, she had suggested putting him on a stimulant medication, I told her i would like to  a non-stimulant medication first and she prescribed him Kapvay. My son took it for the first time last night before bed, he went right to sleep and when he woke up this morning he was the calmest most pleasant, helpful and nicest he had ever been in his life. I could not believe the overnight change. I'm so glad it worked so fast, he has not gotten in trouble once today which is a new record! His teachers are going to be thrilled on Monday! Thank you to the makers of Clonidine!"


"I loved this thing. I kept it for a year. I suffer from endometriosis, and this little dude kept me almost period free. I would have a period for a couple of weeks every few months, but it was very light spotting with absolutely no cramps. Switching from the pill to this was seamless, and I loved it. Insertion didn't hurt, and the bruise after didn't either. However, over the course of the year I had it, I gained almost 25 pounds with no lifestyle changes, and my breasts constantly hurt and change sizes. I have bad acne which isn't really new, but still inconvenient. I've had unprotected sex at least three times a week since I got it, and haven't gotten pregnant or really worried about it. The weight gain and sore breasts are really enough."


"My insomnia has gotten out of hand recently and diphenhydramine and melatonin were no longer working for me. I received the sample pack of suvorexant from my doctor. I took 20 mg and it had absolutely no effect on me at all. Took a few hours to go to bed and woke up less than 4 hours later. What a joke! Maybe it works for others and maybe I have some problem with my thyroid for example (still waiting to receive results from my bloods) that causes this not to work for me."


"on insulin and bydueron 2 mg been on it 8 months been ok but last month severe vomiting diarrhea.  I don't eat for 2-4 days at all now smell of food gives me projectile vomiting.  I stopped today"


"Amazing effective medicaction. Works like magic. Makes me relax and happier and enhanced my sexual drive. Very safe and I LOVE IT. Overall, this medication changed my life and enhanced everything and helped me function in a very short time that I stopped taking it."


"Day 1. just took one pill in the evening and after 1-2 hours I had high fever, big big headaches like some one hit me with the bat. Lost of appetite.  Day 2. Morning get really tired and headaches getting better. And took second pill in the evening. The big headaches came back and dizzy. Try to sleep as much as possible. Day 3 woke up still with headaches and nausea. Skin in my hand is peeling and developed diarrhea I won't continue the medicine due to much side effect. Much more I don't even remember."


"This is my first time taking a mental medicine and this is my second day. Ive been pulling my hair for about 9year. Never thought it was a disorder until my mom told me. I had the urge to pull my hair but after i took one, the urge stopped. But my teeth and my hands shivers time to time. My stomach feels like its twisted and feels like something is stuck in my throat. I also cant feel excited like before and when i try to do something fun, i get bored right away. My doctor told me to take 1/2 of the medicine for the first week, and then one whole after. I got 20mg tablets. Taking 10mg and feeling that my interests lost, im really scared. If i take the whole medicine, what will happen to me? Im not sure if this medicine is good for me but ill continue taking them. Plus, my mom is really happy that im taking it."


"Just got the paraguard inserted a 2 days. Most horrendous pain I've ever gone through. Didn't even have so much as a pap before that. Doc was not gentle at all. She used too big of a speculum and had to swap for a smaller one which made me start bleeding immediately. I haven't had any babies. I'd definitely say the pain is worth it in the end. I do have faith in this method. I did bleed a lot during the procedure and have been bleeding lightly since. I am still cramping. Which is currently fluctuating between mild, moderate, and excruciating depending. Fiancé bought me a heating pad that I warm up in the microwave which is soothing. Sitting with my legs up is helping and warm showers. I'm excited to not have to worry about pills."

"The design of the new inhaler needs to be changed. I noticed when the twist mechanism stops and says it has zero doses left, there is still plenty medicine left in the capsule. Either increase the amount of twists the inhaler can do or change it back to something less mechanical, like the old push inhalers."


"I got it June 2nd. Started spotting June 26th. It is now 3 weeks later and I'm still bleeding. It is annoying as heck. I have no desire for sex. If I get too hungry I start feeling super dizzy. The headaches are out of this world. I am so moody I just want to curse my boyfriend out all the time and he is the nicest person in the world. I don't know if I can take a full 6 months of this. It is great not having to take a pill but geez... I'll update in another month or so I guess!"


"I took a new job back in 2006 that required me to start work in another city and without my family for six months. I began to suffer from depression and anxiety. At first, I thought I was just homesick for my wife and kids. The depression and anxiety began to grow much more severe - inability to focus at work, incredibly negative outlook on new job and new city, unable to get out of bed, wanting to die to escape the pain. I did not understand what was happening to me. Thank God my wife realized something was wrong. She got me to go to a psychiatrist who prescribed 300 mg Effexor. This saved my career, my marriage, my life. No side effects."


"I had sex on September 15 at night and I took the pill September 18 early in the morning. He pulled out but I was still scared. I had been freaking out and googling all my symptoms and convinced myself I was pregnant. Yesterday I got my period (it’s pretty light.) Take it as soon as possible and try not to stress ladies!! You’ll be okay."


"I am in severe pain. I believe I need 2 root canals.  I went to ER and my doctor prescribed Tylenol 3. The dosage is 1 every 4 hours. Please believe me when I say the pain has not subsided AT ALL. I do not even feel sleepy. Even that would be some relief. I contacted the hospital about this and I have to go back to ER to be re-evaluated and pay another 800. The earliest I can be seen by my dentist is in another 14 days. "


"I switched to the Nuvaring about 3 weeks ago from the pill. I was excited by how much easier it was than worrying about taking a pill at the same time every day. This excitement quickly faded when I got suddenly feverish and sick on my 9th day with the Nuvaring. I was too weak and had too severe cramping to leave my bed for 12 hours. But I steadily recovered after I removed the Nuvaring. I had it out for two days and my doctor suggested I put a new one in, so I thought I'd give it another chance. After another week, I've had a sudden and vicious outbreak of cold sores on my lips. I used to get them all the time, but I hadn't had one in three years. I'm done with the Nuvaring for good."


"Took 10 mg of Belsomra and I started yeawning within 90 min. I went to bed and had nightmare that I was strangling all my pet birds. I woke up within two hours and felt unsteady, heart was racing and felt like I wanted to jump out of my skin. I felt irritable and nauseated too. Needless to stay I didn't lay down again and it took 12 hours for all the horrible side effect to go away. Maybe I had an allergic reaction to it, but nevertheless I am NEVER taking this devil's pill again. Back to the Lorazepam. Wish I could give Belsomra negative rating."


"DO NOT EVER TAKE THIS DRUG. long story short, it can cause mania, depersonalization, mood swings, uncontrollable anger, suicidal thoughts and actions, and it can make your depression and anxiety 10 times worse. It also causes permanent damage to the brain by literally stooping your brains ability to produce serotonin by itself. This is one of the oldest SSRI's on the market, and its short half-life make withdrawals the worst thing ever. The withdrawals are similar to heroin withdrawals and last 3-6 months. If you want to seriously fu** up your life and your brain, take this drug."


"I can't afford this medication. No insurance and it is ridiculously expensive even though I would love to try it as suppressive therapy."


"I was on Oxycontin for 2.5 years and 30mg Roxicodones for breakthrough pain and then was on massive amounts of Morphine and none of it actually helped. Then, I was given Fentanyl 50mcg patches and I don't get ANY "buzz" but my pain level is DOWN. I have MAJOR SPINAL PROBLEMS LITERALLY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. I wouldn't be here now if not for Fentanyl. I'm disabled for life and I'm dealing with that in my own way, mentally. But the relief that Fentanyl gives helps me be able to think clearer and to be pain free. "


"23, no kids, 1  year. I am one of the lucky statistics that for some unknown reason, expels IUDs. (Twice now with the Paragard) but I did want to share despite that, my positive experience in general. Being young I knew this would be a convenient means of longterm birth control   the no hormone aspect really enticed me. Have had bad experiences with Nexplanon and pills. Insertion: wasn't horrible for me, felt like a weird really invasive pap that clamped down inside you for 5 seconds. 2 days of cramping and heavy bleeding after. Positives: convenience, no weight gain, acne, hair loss or anything like that. Negatives: heavier period bleeding, possibly painful sex. My cervix was super sensitive and sex was less pleasurable than before."


"Hi! I am 18 years old . I was diagnosed with ADHD just a couple months after starting kindergarten. I was having trouble paying attention, got in trouble everyday; seeing the principal was 2-3 times every 2 weeks was normal. I started taking focalin at 5. My grades improved, my conduct improved, and I could focus. I took it  every weekday I was in school. It killed my appetite, I became dehydrated a lot and I didn't get all the nutrients I needed to Grow properly ( 16, 124lbs).  I stopped taking in 7th grade at my discretion and my grades dropped instantly, my conduct went back. 11th- I started back and instantly my grades improved. Only drawback is I have to force myself to eat."


"Starting weight on 6.12.17 was 184.5. Type 2 diabetic with Hashimoto thyroid disease. I was eating about 1200 calories daily and walking 6 plus miles a day I continued to gain weight. After the trial dose of which I had no side effects I had lost 13 pounds. Started 7.5mg dose on 6.26.17. Stuck at 168.5 for 12 days. Eating less than 700 calories a day and still walking 3 to 10 miles. On day 3 of this dosage I started having nausea, tingling in my hands, and upper respiratory cough and throat irritation. I got down to 161 and although my routine stayed the same I started gaining weight. Now at 164.5 again. Discouraged but still trying. Unsure if this is the right answer for me."


"I used Monistat 1 for the first time last night. I however didn't go further egg insert and chose the pre filled creme applicator instead. As soon as I used it my symptoms began to fade away. Some burning was still present but bearable compared to what I was dealing with before use.This is only my 2nd YI. The first time I used Monistat 7 which was just as effective but because I'm a mom and work full time I don't have the convenience of using the 7 day treatment. Overall a good experience and oils definitely recommend ."


"Like night and day. My Wife Loves my change in moods. I have also been able to stay on tasks 100% better."


"My father was on avandia for 5 years and suffered a heart attack. His doctor told my family that he had no heart concerns before taking avandia. My father died because of this medication. I do not recommend this drug"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This stuff is very effective. And it doesn't taste that bad. It's not great but it's not as horrible as the reviews I've read. This is one of the easier preps I've done. This is my sixth colonoscopy. Do yourself a favor and run a hot bath when you start drinking it. Every time you "go" just get in the bath after wiping. Helps with irritation.

My insurance covered all but $36 of this."


"I was recently diagnosed with narcolepsy and started on Provigil.  I started with 100 mg in the morning and then 100 or 150 mg in the afternoon.  The first few days I was a little dizzy at first, a little nauseous, lost my appetite, had a mild headache every night (ibuprofen took care of that), and tense jaw/neck muscles.  It was working great, but once I started classes (i.e., inactivity), I was falling asleep sometimes before my noon dose, and everyday around 6pm or 8pm.  So, my doctor upped it to 200 in the morning and 200 after noon.  For all 3 days of it, I was awake, only crashing around 8pm, but I was having problems with my memory and concentration. Just switched to Ritalin. "


"After taking albuterol (and various brands of albuterol) for years, I got a chance to try Xopenex almost a year ago, and I love it!  I used to be scared to take albuterol, because it made me so shaky, even at only half the perscribed dose.  But I can take the full dosage of Xopenex prescribed without feeling shaky at all!"


"I started taking pregabalin yesterday - start at a low dose 75mg in morning, then 75mg in the evening.  The effect was pretty much instant I swear.

I went from being hypersensitive, worrying, stressing and having all these horrible physical symptoms ( from the anxiety disorder I have been diagnosed with ) to being calm, having a subtle feeling of well being... my acid reflux stopped, my muscles have started to lose their tension, the tension headaches are lifting too.

Side effects ? a little sleepy, but nothing too severe.

I haven't listened to music for months and been able to enjoy it, but today I AM ! ... amazing !

I feel like a normal person, its like the volume has been turned down on life to a level I can manage :)"


"I took it a year ago and lost 30 pounds in a month and a half. I changed my eating habits and exercised daily. I have tried different diet pills and this is the only one that has worked for me. I love it!!!The only thing is when you stop taking it you need to maintain the same eating habits and stay active. I stopped taking it and went back to eating whatever I wanted and no exercise and I gained it all back. I am now back on it. This is day 7 and I have already lost 4 pounds!"


"Okay so I'm 15 and I've been on this birth control for almost 3 months. I've never been more emotional or sad in my life. I didn't know what it was until I found this website. My mood swings have been crazy and have effected my relationship. Besides that, my skin is clearer, I've lost weight, my appetite is really small, but my breasts are larger  and nothing has changed with my period, it's not lighter or heavier, I'm hoping that changes soon though. I might change to a different contraceptive because the moody thing is way too much but besides that I'm not pregnant so yeah"


"I had a second relapse of Ulcerative Colitis in 2005. I spent 2 weeks in hospital, been given a fist full of medicines and sent home. Nothing worked. I contemplated having surgery to free me of the disease and wear an ostomy. To my eternal gratitude, my Gastro MD suggested Remicade. After my last colonoscopy in 2013, he said if I had not seen you as sick as you were... your colon looks perfectly healthy. I will accept the side effects (I have experienced none as of yet) to have my life back. Remicade has assistance programs to help those who need it. I am not a spokesman, I do not sell this. But I use and will as long as I can. I wish this medicine was around for my Dad as he suffered with Crohns and Colitis for years."


"Only on day two but that first dose will scare you. I'm going to see it through..takes time for antibiotics to even work. Taking all of your medicine is important but knowing your bodies limits is just as important. This medicine is currently kicking my butt be cautious those side effects are really rough."


"I LOVE Nuvaring. I am 17 years old and it fits into my crazy lifestyle. I am a cheerleader and quite active and the Nuvaring does an amazing job of staying where it is supposed to. I was on the Depo shot for a year and I hated it. I could never predict a period and would often miss it, but with the ring I know when it comes. Out on a Wednesday and I have my period Saturday morning on the dot. This is amazing. I suffer from various medical conditions so I'm assuming I have just never noticed any side effects, but compared to other forms of birth control I would say Nuvaring is the easiest and gives the least side effects. My boyfriend can feel it but he says its not bothersome. "


"Diphenhydramine is an extremely effective sleep aid. It takes half an hour or less for 25 mg to knock me out.

The biggest problem I have with diphenhydramine is that it makes me feel kinda' groggy and nauseous the next day. I feel like I'm walking around in some weird twilight and food just doesn't taste good to me.

Still, out of the three sleeping pills I've tried, diphenhydramine is by far the most effective. Ambien made me feel like I was on a roller coaster and melatonin mainly makes me fall asleep a little faster."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I have been on Beyaz for about two years and never noticed any negative side effects. My cramps and period length were reduced significantly and I have loved this pill. Would definitely recommend."


"I recently stopped taking lyrica after 6 months. I was taking lyrica for nerve pain following a terrible car accident. I wish I had never started taking lyrica. It not only did not help with the pain but only made my condition worse, not to mention the 30 pounds of weight I put on. Also the horrible withdrawal's was worse than I ever could of imagined. I absolutely do not recommend ever starting lyrica"


"I've had RLS my whole life. Finally got diagnosed 11 years ago and started on requip. Knocks me out every night after it kicks in.  I have to take with food so I won't get a upset stomach."


"I started taking Sprintec because I was on Aviane and did not like it at all. I would bleed every week for 3 or 4 days and it wasn't like I was spotting, it was almost a full on period. So I called my doctor and asked her if she had anything stronger she could put me on and she put me on Sprintec. I'm in a great mood everyday, I have gone from a 34B to 34C and its not expensive."


"Diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder I was very hesitant at the start to try medications and thought I'll battle through with the help of therapy. 3 months later I gave in for medication. Couldn't get through a day without my anxiety being an obstacle. Was prescribed Zoloft for the first time at 25mg. For the first week things were fine just the usual upset stomach and dry mouth nothing I couldn't handle but surprisingly it made me depressed (never was) but anxiety DID settle a little (hence 5/10). Then was pushed up to 50mg... the upset stomach stopped the dry mouth decreased but restlessness and insomnia kicked in including the zombie feeling. This went on for over 2 weeks but had to stop, it was affecting my work. Withdrawal symptoms, depression."


"I've had my implant for 2 years now. When I first got it, I was finishing out my menstrual cycle & asked the Heath care provider if it was going to be an issue. I was told that my cycle would be fine. I spotted on & off for 3mo. But after, I was having cycles regularly. Then, I was bleeding for a month straight. After that, I didn't get my next cycle for 4 months. During that time, I had switched jobs & was working around alot more females than originally. I've been an emotional wreck the entire time & have had terrible mood swings. It's effective with not getting pregnant, but it takes an emotionally strong person to deal with the side effects of it. Wouldn't recommend for everyone, but it is good for a changing schedule everyday."


"Recently, I went to the emergency room with a blood pressure of 212 - 231 over 100 and pulse 68.  Nothing was wrong physiologically, the ER doctor suggested reviewing my many medications with my primary doctor and cardiologist.  I tend to be proactive and while doing this I dialed back my meds to the bare minimum which left blood pressure medication, aspirin and Asthma inhaler, thus eliminating my Spiriva despite not having any side effects.  Today after a couple of days, off of Spiriva, I had real difficulty breathing and shall breathing, so much so that I cut my activities short to get home and rest. I reviewed the Spiriva side effects and applicable to me would be increased heart rate, and in my case a benefit. Can't live without Spiriva"


"I am 5" 3' and I am currently on my 2nd round of Phentermine and it has literally saved my life. 1st round was from 8/14 - 1/15 and I went from 246 to 201. I was very active and watched my intake. I had to take 5 months off and I just started back on as of 7/21/15 and I have gone from 202 to 195 in 2 weeks, 7 lb loss.  First time I had dry mouth and I was NEVER tired. The second time I have joint and muscle pain that is starting to go away. It only works about half as well as it did last time but its enough to make the adjustments I need. I would 100% do it all over again, I have my life back!"


"I haven't noticed a great deal of pain relief with Cymbalta but works well for depression and other related issues."


"I used to be on Levlen, had no problems at all. I changed to Depo which is an injection contraceptive, so I didn't have to remember to take a pill. On Depo I gained a lot of weight and was unable to control my emotions. I intend on returning to Levlen now. The only drawback is remembering to take the pill. Make sure you find a contraceptive that suits YOUR body. Levlen seemed to be fine for me, but it may be different for you and others."


"I was having bad vertigo with cold sweat, vomiting and nausea, I started taking Vontrol, and the vertigo was less severe, vomiting and nausea disappeared."


"Started taking this a week ago, the 5mg tablet. I was originally on Zoloft but it was making me depressed so my doctor offered me trintellix. It has been helping my PTSD A LOT. I am rarely anxious now except situations that would make a normal person anxious and I don't feel depressed. I wasn't depressed previously but the Zoloft caused me to become depressed and cry a lot. The nausea is pretty brutal however. It comes on very quickly and I will salivate a lot but so far have not vomited.

I am still going to give it a try because it's one of the first medications to help my PTSD. I would rather deal with the nausea then be stricken with severe anxiety all the time."


"I got the Skyla IUD inserted exactly a week ago. ( 21 with no kids) The process of getting it inserted wasn't exactly comfortable. It was painfull but it only lasted a few minutes. I was bleeding so bad that I had to stop by the store on the way home. Now on day 7 I'm still have pretty bad cramps. I have been taking ibuprofen since the first day. At one point today I was in so much pain my body started shaking. I'm still spotting but I'm staying hopeful. I just keep trying to stay positive that it will get better. I hope this helps someone!"


"I'm 5'9" and weighed 340 pounds on March , 29,2016!!!! And I'm happy to say that as of this morning5/12/16..I weigh 296 pounds!! I won't lie to you all and say it's been easy and there aren't side effects.. Constipation, some nausea, etc.. Because with any man made medicine there will be side effects.. But I would deal with the side effects anyday... If I've gone down 2 suit sizes in a matter of a month and some change!!! I will also not say that it doesn't take hard work ,, I go to the gym 6 days a week, I eat about 1400 healthy calories a day( sometimes less) , I drink about 14 cups of water a day. If you wanna lose weight take the pill and work with it , not against it!! Be positive not negative! And you'll have great results!! thnx"


"Was prescribed Trorprol & Lisinipril before they put me on this. The first two made my hair thin, so they put me on 180 MG of verapimil. So far I have been on it for a month & it definitely has reduced my blood pressure. If you have problems with hair thinning I recommend this, I haven't noticed any hair thinning at all & I have not experienced any side effects. I'm 19 years old, 135 LBS & I'm 5'2. Definitely recommend!"


"My son is 8 and we just started this medication. Started at 10mg and it was not enough so we went up to 20mg a few days later. His teacher noticed right away that things were better at school, but at home he was a nightmare. Very emotional when coming off medicines in the afternoon. We got a booster of Ritalin but now he is not sleeping. I am going to try Concerta again to see if we can get rid of the emotional outbursts."


"Dr just put me on 20 2x a day with 1 mg Ativan PRN.  I was on Zanex 1 mg 2x a day I have been through the worst thing a parent can go through losing a child  12 years ago she was 8 then I'm a widow now lost my husband 5 years ago he was 41. I  see a psychiatrist huh nothing mends a broken heart but I will keep trying what the Dr keeps putting me on"


"Wonderful, but expensive, muscle relaxant!  This is the only type of muscle relaxant that I can take, experience some relief from pain and stiffness, and still be able to drive, stay awake, etc.  LOVE Skelaxin!"


"I was dismissed after 35 radiation treatments on my left lower leg with a huge gaping wound.  ( Severe radiation burn. About nine inches long, four inches wide and probably a half inch deep on top of left lower leg) The radiation doctor told me to put Aquaphor on the enormous wound.  What a joke.  Aquaphor did absolutely nothing to help the wound. (My leg had been treated after surgery to remove a sarcoma)
Went straight home to my computer and looked up “heal radiation burns” on Amazon.  Found Biafine immediately.  It completely healed that big wound in one week.  AMAZING."


"I've been on Cymbalta for about 4 months and it has greatly helped my ADD.  I'm able to concentrate much better and my mood has improved dramatically. It quietened the negative thoughts in my head and my depression is much better too. Unfortunately, it hasn't helped my Fibromyalgia pain all that much. Just started on Lyrica today... we'll see how that goes."


"I have had a horrible cold with terrible coughs and unable to rest much. Mucus and stuffy/runny nose too. I took only one tablet and it works better than the cold/flu medicine I have been taking for a week. I can breathe better and my lungs feel much more free to breathe. Thanks!"


"I started taking Chantix on 07/07/10. It made me feel weird at first and I heard about this side effect. After a few days that doesn't happen anymore. To help with the stomach problems I take it a half hour after I eat. No stomach issues at all. I am smoke free. I relapsed a few times smoking here and there but it was so much easier putting my mind to it...cold turkey was a nightmare. I did have a lot of forgetfulness and I was more "aggressive and in bad moods" but way worth it. Now I am almost at my 4th month down to a half a pill a day and I will continue to take a half pill and ween very slowly off so I don't get the cravings back. Good luck. If I can do it anyone can. "


"I feel like I cough even more after taking this. It is not effective at all."


"Within 3 hours of inserting medication was awakened with intense burning and stinging. Forced to leave bed and wash area thoroughly and apply soothing lotion. Stinging was severe enough to cause me to stay awake and monitor my discomfort. Will report side effects to pharmacist in the morning."


"This is my third medication I've tried for my anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. I was first on fluvoxamine and Klonopin and those did nothing but make me a zombie. A month into Prozac while I was feeling the side effects of dizziness and whatnot everything just turned back on. Literally it's like someone turned the lights on. All I can say is it takes time, don't be discouraged. Also pay attention to what you take with it. I was on Zoloft and was getting extremely dizzy. Prozac doesn't agree with certain medications and definitely not caffeine.
For the most part though I went from having panic attacks so bad they felt like heart attacks to being completely calm and "normal"."


"Atarted on 3/1/2014, my weight was at 260lbs. I'm So happy to say that my first weigh in today 3/18/2014 I'm at 249lbs. I lost a total of 11lbs, its suppressed my hunger and I have energy to spare. I work out everyday and watch my calorie intake. So happy I went to the doctor for help I'm hoping to get down to 145lbs. I've gone down 2 pants sizes in two weeks yay."


"This is my first colonoscopy and I was nervous about the bowel prep.  But was pleasantly surprised.  I just forced down the drink as fast as possible (4pm yesterday), just mixed it with water, I think mixing it with any other flavor would have made it worse.  I quickly chased it down with two big glasses of water over the next hour.  Had to be close to the toilet for sure, but no pain, and was finished about 2 hours after the first dose.  Have my second dose at 6am, it is 8.14am and I feel fine!  Have had to go to the bathroom quite a few time but clear.  I did fast for two days prior which I think really helps, so had broth and jello for two days (plus coffee and water and some apple juice).  Wish me luck."


"Celexa and Zoloft were both duds for me unfortunately. Moving on to Wellbutrin/Buspar combo, fingers crossed!"


"I'm not gonna go into detail because it would take too long. My periods and body have been all messed up for years. Normally I would have 10 day periods with excruciating cramps. Tried all different kinds of birth control to help with it. Nothing worked.....I have been on lyza for 4 weeks now. I'm just taking it continuously. At first I had a period that was 7 days long...I kept taking it even through my period. I just finished week 4 with no spotting or side effects so far! No blood, no period symptoms, no acne, no nothing!! I am beyond happy. I hope to keep taking them every day and not have a period. So far so good! My goal is to not have periods anymore because I'm sick of them and they cause more problems than they should."


"I have taken 5 10mg at once and got zero from it.  I had cancer on my spine (had  Spinal surgery ) and my whole back is a scene from the terminator. Lucky to be alive. But flexeral does nothing for muscle spasms"


"My 9 years  old is now taking Intuniv for three weeks. At the begining he was very sleepy and tired. So I decided to give him the pill at bedtime, he's been much better. This medication was a miracle for my son, his mood is better, he is happier, less emotional, and finishing his school task. Before he was on Concerta for 6 months it made his personality change. He started to bite his clothes and picking on his nose. It was bad. He could focus but the side effects worthless. I also try Strattera with similar side effects. My son it doing great on Intuniv. I hope it will continue to work for him."


"The only product that clears my sinus... Better than any doctor prescribed medication I have tried. Absolutely the best over the counter product on the market!"


"I was on Xalkori for about 6 months in 2012 before it stopped working and I had to go on traditional chemotherapy in September of the same year. I had minimal side effects.  Just a little hair thinning, a little tiredness but no serious problems. Sometimes a little constipation which was easily controlled with a little dose of Milk of Magnesia.  Prior to going on the Xalkori I had lost 19 pounds and had a lot of complications.  While on the medicine I gained the weight back, got my strength back, was able to eat again and was in better shape when I had to go on traditional chemotherapy. In my cases a true blessing."


"I have used Fentora for breakthrough pain due to RSD which is a nerve disorder.  The medication when I can take it makes a huge difference in my daily routine.  Unfortunately the last 2 years my current insurance will not pay for it so my family has been paying for it.  Initially we paid $4000.00/month which quickly became impossible.  I am currently taking 1/4 of my daily dose I should be on.  Needless to say my daily routine now causes me to spend a lot of time in bed, pain and nonproductive."


"I have been on Lutera for almost two weeks now. I have had almost constant diarrhea, a couple of mood swings, my period lasted nine days (rather than my usual four), nausea, hot flashes at night (age 21), I have had a hard time staying asleep, and not too much of a sex drive left. At first I would wake up and not be hungry until lunch time, now I want to eat constantly (but I control my urges or I munch on veggies). On the plus side, I haven't gained any weight and my skin has cleared up a little. Though I am having not so pleasant side effects, I don't have any complaints about the pill (it has only been two weeks though). Reading other reviews, a lot of people say the negative goes away within three months. So, I'll cross my fingers."


"My daughter is 9. She has been taking Focalin for 1 year now and she is alarmingly thin. The doctor suggests that we should just feed her more food when she wants to eat. My daughter has always been a thin girl but now she looks sick, but on the up side this medication works well with her ADHD. She can focus and she even has friends now that she is not hitting people. My daughter is actually pretty smart but you would have never knew this before Focalin."


"Been on this medication for about a year now and I'm positive it works for me. I was diagnosed with MS and had a lot of anxiety and depression.  This drug helps me calm down and take a different approach to things."


"Didn't get pregnant, but how could I when I bled for 3 months straight! And gained weight.."


"Before Sprintec, I would have my period every 6 months. Two times a year. It scared me so I went to my gyno doctor and She told me I wasn't ovulating so I was put on medication. My first month was horrible. I started my period on the very last day of my 4th week. The cramps were unbearable. I didn't sleep for that whole week. I've been gaining weight and its so hard to lose weight. I get bad chest pains and feel faint sometimes. Its only been a month and a half though. No acne though."


"Truly a life saver for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.  My racing thoughts and compulsions have disappeared.  I am on 300/mg.  I tried Paxil before - Luvox is much better for OCD.  Some minor symptoms such as apathy and fatigue."


"I just finished my active pills two days ago and still haven't gotten my period. My acne has cleared up a little bit but not entirely. The only downside so far has been a little bit of stomach cramping."


"This has seriously been my miracle. After trying 5  different SSRIs with horrible side effects, Remeron literally saved my life. I was given it during a hospital stay (I was suicidal). The only side effects I've experienced were sleepiness (in the first few weeks) and increased appetite (ongoing). Personally, my depression caused me to have no appetite at all, so the increased appetite was a welcome effect, although it may not be for others. I can sleep, I can eat, and - most importantly - I can live. I can get out of bed in the morning and live my life. I am on 45 mg once a day (at night). With this medication, in combination with CBT and mindfulness meditation, my depression is almost completely gone."


"I just starting to take Aleve, I take one every morning. So far no bad side effects. It sure has improve my joint pain and stiffness."


"I have been on Zoloft for a year and I can honestly say it changed my life. I had suffered with anxiety and panic attacks since I was in the first grade, and I hated my life. I felt cursed. I felt weird because of it. It got to a point of hopelessness and depression. I did counseling, exercise, journaling, all-natural vitamins, everything. Nothing helped. I didn't want to rely on medication to help me get through life, but after talking to my doctor, I decided I had to. My doctor put me on a low dosage of Zoloft and I can honestly say, I've never been more calm, focused, content, and determined. Zoloft helped me relax and deal with problems rationally. It changed my life for the better, and recommend it to any teenager who needs help."


"I have been on various antidepressants since i was 18, with some relief at times.  I've been very functional all along but never happy.  I've used other illicit substances to self medicate.  I saw a psychiatrist when I finally got sick and tired of spinning my wheels. She diagnosed me with bipolar 2 and put me on saphris. For the first month,  I felt AMAZING. I was getting things done at home, at work,  and even nurturing a social life again.  The med still works weekly for my mood but I've gained 20 lbs in just 2months.  This is really starting to get me down.  The med had changed my life,  but I'm not sure how much longer I can deal with the weight gain.  If it weren't for the weight,  I would've given it a10."

"I went on this jab when I was 18 back in July 2008 to stop me getting pregnant (me and my boyfriend don't want kiddies yet) and it's not a bad jab actually.. of course you have to give it 2 weeks for it to kick in after your 1st jab, but it's ok. I've only had a few side effects.. I get headaches sometimes, I've put a little weight on (not too much), a few spots and my periods are affected.. my last one lasted 36 days and it finished yesterday thank goodness!! So it affects different people in different ways and I had another shot yesterday. So it's ok.. I don't like the periods that come and go but never mind.. it works wonders!"


"I have had acne in my face no back since I started menstruating. I'm 19. I tried everything. My gynecologist put me on spironolactone 100mg. I've been on it since January 5 mos) and my face no back got much worse, I got even more hair on my arms (the dr said that would go away) and I would stop losing hair on my head (didn't happen). After five months, I gained 25 pounds! So be careful using this drug...."


"I've had a light period ever since I started taking this pill.( I' on my 3rd month) My Dr. told me it would get better but it has not. Maybe the amount of hormone is too low? I'm not happy with it."


"While my pain subsided, the side effects were awful. My tongue swelled up, I gained 4 pounds in a week, and am seriously retaining water. I got the okay from my doctor to discontinue yesterday and am looking forward to feeling normal again. Not worth the side effects, in my opinion. I'd rather take ibuprofen."


"I just started lolo 2 weeks ago and so far, I've gained a significant amount of weight. I have a fast metabolism so anything I eat gets shredded off the next day.  On this birth control, I went from 100lbs to (currently) 112lbs. I will continue to stay on it to see if it'll balance out but if the weight increases more, I will be stopping."


"Left me with Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction.. a year and a half passed by without significant improvement. I had been using 75 mg for less than a year.

I recommend you to never take a SSRI."


"I had red patches on the skin area under my eyebrows. It is hard to notice until it spread beyond the hairy area. Then it becomes itchy and scales a lot. I sweat a lot and obviously sweat lines are feeding the redness. I tried all sorts of creams - nothing really worked. Actually fluocinolone gel isn't the cure either but it works, and it works fast. I am using the generic Sinoderm and in gel form (easier to apply over the hairy area). I am using it only before the bed time. After 2-3 days symptoms improve dramatically. Depending on the condition before I start the treatment it can stop skin scaling and redness within the 1-5 days (5 days only if the condition was neglected for a while)."


"Two of us have used Zyrtec for many years because it is stronger than the other so-called non-drowsy antihistamines such as Allegra and Claritin.

We need relief mostly for sinus itching, throbbing, pressure, and discomfort; also useful for itchy allergic skin.

This medicine will usually cause pronounced drowsiness for the first 3 days, so the best way to get used to it is: take 1/2 a pill daily for 3 days, then the whole pill daily.  Also, it may increase urination.  But as I say, it is very effective."


"My 10 year old son, was on Risperdal and it was horrible for him. He started taking 2mg Abilify along with Celexa and in 2 months in school he was doing 70% better. This medication did make his appetite increase and he did gain weight, but not too much weight. Once his body got used to it, he began to have trouble sleeping, so his doctor increased his dosage to 4mg a day, 2mg in the morning and 2 mg at night. He is sleeping well again, and appetite has seem to stabilize. This medicine has been great for my son."


"Of course my acne got much worse before it got better, just as my doctor said it would. So a few months into taking Yaz, my skin started to clear and now it just glows. I couldn't be happier. Though I do get a small pimple here or there on occasion but NOTHING compared to what I had before. I highly recommend it and your patience will pay off."


"In the beginning I was on 300 mg of seroquel (not extended release) for 3 years. Got pregnant they took me off. I moved provinces they ended up putting me back on a smaller dose 150mg sleeping wise I would go to sleep right away and stay asleep all night. For the past 2 months they decided to put me on 150mg seroquel xl now it takes me hours to fall asleep and I wake up constantly throughout the night and have a hard time falling back asleep! I feel like xl does not work near as good depression wise and sleeping wise."


"I have three damaged disc's in my lower back. Doctors wanted to remove. I refused and started out on 120 Lortabs per month. That was increased by the additional 120 tabs of 15 mg oxycodone per month. My life was consumed by pain so bad I could could hardly get out of bed or walk. 6 months later I was prescribed an additional 60 30 mg of Morphine. Needless to say I am no longer in any pain, I was nodding out everywhere. I took morphine for a year. Detox wasn't fun and it's worst if you are a weak junkie. I took oxycodone for another year. My doctor suggest Fentanyl. It changed my life."


"I was diagnosed at the age of 15 with Bipolar. I really never understood why that was my disgnosis.. maybe cause of my horrible depressions at a very young age and well having to go thru alot very early in life might have been the cause of that. I suffered alot from Anxiety or panic attacks and i must say that Klonopin has been the best drug i have ever had, even better than Xanax. It relaxes me instead of that sedation feeling Xanax used to give me and also last longer. I can now sleep better as well. So in conclusion Klopin is amazing and way better than Xanax and ofcourse this is to my opinión"


"Hi
I'm taking seroquel XR 400mg.it all started last winter with my psychosis episode.  I went a bit manic,anexity,depression.wont get into details.
I went in mental hospital for 2 months,there is where i started taking seroquel.
to be honest 1st 2 weeks i have been vomiting every single night,had dizzines so hard that I had to hold walls while walking down the hallway.Its fine because at that point I didn't know if its just a bad dream or reality.after period of let's say 2 months I got much better.still i was feeling like my emotions, vocabularity, thought's was really in bad condition.
as time passes I got used to it (im using it for 10months now.)
DONT DO COLD TURKEY!!!"


"Allows me to have an erection and have sex. I swap the needle in the package for a 31g insulin needle. Slides in without having to jab with no discomfort. The impulse device is good but I find that I would like a finer control over the dose instead of the 5MCG units. I have no recognised side effects."


"I have problems with three discs and broken joint capsule in my neck, as well as arthritis in the same area of my neck. I first had a hydromorphone injection 4 years ago and my neck pain vanished away into a warm feeling in my neck.  I think this medication should be given more frequently to people with severe pain. I know doctors want to be cautious because this is an addictive narcotic, but 800mg ibuprofen tablets do not work for everyone.  I take 4mg tablets up to twice a day as needed for pain, but I don't use them every day.  Never ever take more than prescribed. I like Hydromorphone because I don't feel high at all.  I feel the same except no pain.  Everyone is different, so check with your doctor."
