"I have been diagnosed since 5/13. I have been on tecfidEra al.osteoporosis the whole time. I have had no growth in my lesions and no new lesions at all. I was recently taken off my meds to see if I have any relapses and where my disease is....I feel like this is a wonderful medication.  Also they had a program to make the meds reasonable or free if needed. Would definitely refer this medication. My cousin used to have to go get 5 hour treatments for her MS. grateful this kind of med is out there."


Dextromethorphan / guaifenesin / phenylephrine

"I took two tablets at 9am yesterday, followed by about 5-6 bottles of water. Sure the congestion and cold went away significantly, but I could not sleep til about 430am! I work a 12 hour shift, and had to call out from work. Needless to say, this medicine is going in the garbage. Heart palpitations, anxiety and insomnia!"


"Hi everyone I started taking lo Loestrin fe 3 weeks ago,,, I did have break through bleeding don't give up or get worried it will stop once your body gets use to it,, I really love This this pill I am not retaining water and I have no weight gain, other pills make you gain weight  and get hungry - not this one. I would recommend this highly."


"This has been a God send for my generalized anxiety. After being a heavy marijuana user, I was left with near-crippling amounts of anxiety in my daily life. Neurontin controls it very well and gave me my life back. I do still get panic attacks, but I use a benzodiazepine for those and it's been pretty good."


"I have herniated disks L5 and between C3 and C4. I got a prescription for Carisoprodol and pain killers. Kept the Carisoprodol for a while because I didn't use it. Had a recent spasm in my neck and used two 10mg pills over one day. I was able to really see the effects of just these two pills because I was taking no other drugs at this time.
Effects: Next day muscle spasm has subsided significantly. Didn't take more.
Side effects: Lethargy. Took an hour nap and it wasn't enough. I never nap. Went to bed early, got up late. Breathing was labored upon waking. Slight headache in the morning, a bit drowsy, slightly dizzy and unenthusiastic about life."


"I began taking Saphris for the purpose of helping me sleep.  I took it "as needed" as originally instructed.  At first, it seemed to help me fall asleep and shut off the constant whirl of my brain at night.  When I began taking it nightly and increasing my dosage, as instructed, to 10 mg rather than 5 mg, (I was instructed to take it all at once), I began to get a very itchy and painful rash.  One patch is very red and inflamed and about the size of a silver dollar.  I also began to notice that the noise in my brain at night worsened to a hypomanic state.  I have insomnia now, instead of sleeping well as I was when first taking it.  I've also had migraines.  I don't know if this is all connected to Saphris."


"Amazing medicine"


"I'm 18 5'2 and 125 lbs, I've been on pills for 2 years prior to getting Skyla, I went to my gyno originally to get Nexaplanon in my arm and it turns out they didn't have it due to insurance not covering it, so they recommended Skyla, I was so nervous and I think that worked my nerves up real good and stressed me out so bad that the insertion was BRUTAL!!! Like a 9/10 for me, felt dizzy, I was shaking, cramping, crying, and bleeding after insertion. Awful, take Advil before/after becaus you will need it. I took a nap about an hour afterwards and woke up with no cramps, just slight uncomfortableness. Hopefully Skyla will give me the good results I'm looking for!"


"I tried Zyban twice after smoking for about 20 years, a pack a day.

The first time, I could feel my urge to smoke lessening, but after about a week on the medicine, one day I felt exhausted.  I slept for 14 hours; the next day I woke up and felt so, so  down and depressed.  Since I had done my research prior to taking this, I knew what it was.  I called a doctor, and stopped the medicine.

A year later, I decided to try again.  This time, I had no such thoughts.  After about 5 days, I felt the urge to smoke going away, and on day 7, I lit one up, wondered why I was doing this, and put it out. Never looked back. I stayed on Zyban for about a year. That was two 1/2 years ago. No cravings.  No cheating.  Amazing."


"One dose sent me to the ER with a horrible dystonic reaction."


"I've been taking Lunesta (3mg) for 3 years now. The only side effect I've noticed is the bad taste, but that is minor. Sleep with this has been great, no bad dreams, no anxiety. Stress and irritation is way down now that I get a solid 7-8 hours/night. I've just started a weight loss program (4 months) and had no problem dropping the expected 1.5lbs/week that the method I'm using (calorie counting) is designed for."


"This is the only medicine that relieve my pains."


"I had mild trouble sleeping and developed Raynaud's after 2 years of taking this."


"I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome with very extreme hair growth. For instance, I got a haircut 3 weeks ago to above chin length, and it already grew back to a short ponytail. I have tried about every hair removal method there is, but it's tricky because some just plain don't work on me, and each place on the body has a different growth pattern. Anyway, suffice to say I shave my face much more often than my husband has to shave his. So I didn't mind spending $150 for less than 2 oz of cream. It's not supposed to show a difference until at least 4 or 8 weeks in. But within 3 days it was brutally clear that the hair was coming in much faster, thicker and unable to be removed. I stopped the cream and within a few days was back to normal growth"


"I had been to the dermatologist for treatment to my lower lip diagnosed as Actinic Keratosis. Initially, he sprayed it with Liquid nitrogen and prescribed Solaraze gel. I used this gel for about  2 months twice daily on the lip. I must mention that there absolutely no effect of this medication on my lip. A total waste of money if you don't have insurance as it can be quite expensive without it.

Then I was prescribed all sort of other creams which was nothing but a waste of money on moisturizers. Don't feel bad to question the dermatologist as to what the cream does and whether it will cure you. The most essential treatment for single or isolated AKs is  cryotherapy - liquid nitrogen spray."


"I kept the medication in the refrigerator and mixed with cold water. I used the straw method and put it as far to the back of my mouth as possible  and kept the tip of my tongue pressed against my lower teeth so the taste wasn't so bad. It's a grape medicine taste initially followed by a salt water after fast which is the worst part."


"This pill has been awful for me.  My doctor prescribed it after my laproscopy and a period of induced menopause due to endometriosis. It has caused major moodiness and I either get my period when it is not supposed to come or don't get it at all.  Slight weight gain.  My breasts hurt all the time, more than ever!  I asked my doctor to switch me to something else.  He put me on Notrel 777- and that is great!  Hope everybody can find something that works well for their body."


"I was switched from Loestrin 21 to Apri a few months back because my periods were irregular and my doc thought Apri would be better for me. I like that there's placebo pills in Apri cause I was awful at taking 21 day packs. The first couple months were a little tough adjusting to the higher dose of hormones. I was super emotional! But that's normal. I'm on month 5 now and things are fine. I'm still a little emotional, but only "cry at something dumb" emotional. Nothing I can't handle. My periods are light and I barely have any pain. Close to no acne. My boobs seemed to have grown a bit, so that's cool. My sex drive seems to be a tiny bit lower, but I never had a crazy high sex drive in the first place. My husband and I still have a healthy sex life. I might have gained like 5 pounds or less but that might be because of my lazy ass and not the birth control :) best of all, I haven't gotten pregnant! I recommend Apri. Give it a chance and let yourself adjust to the hormones."


"After menopause I developed urge incontinence.  My urologist gave me Myrbetriq and it stopped my incontinence completely within 1 month.  However, I was also taking flecainide; found out the two should not be taken together, so I quit the Myrbetriq for about a year.  After my cardiologist weaned me off the Flecainide, I began the Myrbetriq again; I'm disappointed to say that although it has helped, the results this time are not like they were when I initially took the drug.  I still must wear pads and am debating whether to continue taking the drug."


"I took 1 pill at 10pm. It is 3am and I am awake with a BURNING sensation in my stomach. This is not the first time that this has happened. In about 3 more hours or so I will have a great bowel movement but for now I am miserable :-("


"Only took 2 pills on day one. Day 2... throat starting to feel better!! Yay!!!! Red welts all over my legs, butt ,back, and eyes real puffy!!! Guess I'm allergic!!! On to the next medicine."


"I am 15 and have had acne since I was about 13. I have tried almost everything to get rid of my acne so when my dermatologist wanted to try  Solodyn I jumped at the offer. It has been a little over a month since I have been on  Solodyn and my acne is just starting to improve. For me the medication caused me to break out worse on my face before it got better so of course with anyone that has acne that's frustrating. Just stick with it and I promise you'll see improvements. I am on Epiduo as well to spot treat acne. Good luck!"


"I have been on lo loestrin for over three years and have loved it. Since being on it I haven't had a period. The only down side is that it's a pill. Being in college and having a crazy schedule makes it difficult to take every day so I'm switching to a better long term solution for birth control. If I could remember to take it at the same time every day I'd give this 10/10"


"Duac is a great acne topical cream but it works better if you take oral acne medications has well. It takes a couple of weeks for skin to completely look better but stick with it. Use it once a day before going to bed and I normally cleanse with Aveeno clear complexion but Prascion as well if you ask your doctor. I have suffered with acne since I was 14 and now I'm twenty and minocycline with Duac saved my high school life."


"I was just diagnosed with hypothyroidism on the last days of October of this year.. My doctor prescribed me 50mcg levothyroxine distributed by Mylan. I was only on the medication for 3 days! The medicine made me so fatigued and tired I could hardly go through my day without wanting to pass out and go to sleep. And not only that but my chest was feeling really uncomfortable. It felt like someone had put 20 pounds on my chest and overall having difficulty taking a deep breathe. My doctor then prescribed me the brand name Synthroid with only 25mcg. I had energy like I havent had in a year, but on the third day i was having shortness of breath, my heart was beating so hard& fast &I felt so lightheaded. Seriously, scariest experience i have had."


"I have been on Norco for about 8 months now for fibromyalgia and degenerative bone and disc disease and I tell you what, this medicine works and gets the job done! I have been taking pain relievers for over 7 years and they work 100% better for breakthrough pain than any other on the market! Take caution in getting off of them and make sure you CUT BACK SLOWLY as they are addictive or habit forming. Hope you have good of results from this medication as I had."


"Was prescribed this for my crippling period cramps that made it impossible for me to go about my day whatsoever. It worked well for the first few months. It did not completely eliminate my pain but the pain was not nearly as bad as before. After about 4 months of taking it I began to notice side effects such as racing heart beat, difficulty swallowing, and constipation among others. I quickly stopped taking it after noticing these side effects."


"Not at all what I expected. Have used Vyvanse with success, but went back to adderall, more flexibility dosing. Can take a second dose during the day if necessary, or not.
Mydayis takes an unusually long time to kick in. Have found that I am much more irritable, foggy, and have experienced feelings of being overwhelmed at work doing things that I normally handle day in and day out with no problem.
I am for the most part easy going, everything seems to annoy me since I began using Mydayis. Also have experienced headaches during lag times, body aches, and flu like symptoms.
A lot of the time I feel worse than I do un-medicated. Do not like Mydayis at all. Will not be refilling."


"wonderful medicine  really help me when i was prego and now with my gastritis nausea"


"I was prescribed contrave by my doc. I have always been a healthy eater and exercised daily. I'm 30 years old and a mother of 3. I was diagnosed with thyroid disease 2.5 years ago.  My thyroid disease was making weight loss difficult, almost impossible.

 I have been on contrave for 6 weeks. The only side effect I have had is increased sweating (but that could also be it is summer and blazing hot where I live). I have not had any of the other side effects others have mentioned. No nausea, no sleeping problems etc. I exercise 6 days a week and eat a balanced diet. I have lost 17 pounds so far! I'm thrilled that the scale is finally moving again! I feel that you MUST have a balanced diet and exercise to get the full benefit of this medication"


"I have been using Bupropion for 13 years and it worked better than any other antidepressant I have tried. However, as it happens it is not working nearly so effectively. The last 6 months and my doctor is having me also take Celexa to augment it. It does seem to cause a decrease in libido and sexual performance. I had no other noticeable side effects. But overall it worked well for me taking 100 mg twice daily for over a decade so I rate it highly."


"Helped depression a lot, but side effects  were sweating,and low sex drive,added pounds At least 30lbs, BUT it was worth it!"


"I have been using Jublia for the last 7 months.  It has worked on my small toe nails but not much improvement on the big toe nail.  I am willing to keep using it for the next few months.  Hopefully the big toe nail will heal.  If not, I will try laser treatment."


"I was diagnosed at 19. I began having bouts with hemiplegic migraines 10 years ago. While few and far between they were very scary! No one offered medications to control them until now. For a year or better I've had blurred vision in one eye that would come and go with a dull headache. After going to have a vision check my optometrist sent me directly to a neurologist. Something the ER and my family doctor wouldn't do. The aura I get before a migraine has changed and I'm having migraine spasms which is a severe migraine wo the normal pain symptoms. These actually caused my father's strokes at 41 yeas old! The neurologist started me on verapamil 40 mg 3xs a day. Pain free finally! Slight joint pain but worth it!"


"I have been on Pentasa, prednisone and Prilosec. Was put in the hospital yesterday for a bad flare up now the doctor is going to start Remicade. I have only been sick since July but not getting any better. "


"I've had recurring yeast infections and I have to say that this works amazingly. Quick relief of symptoms, which if anyone has an yeast infection can agree. This is the first thought that comes to mind.  I'm so thankful that my doctor prescribed this for me."


"Tramadol is NOT an opiate.  It does act on the same pain receptors as opiates, but it does not have the same addictive quality as opiates and does not have the same risk of abuse as opiates.  You can become dependent on Tramadol, just as you can be dependent on SSRI's.  You can't cold turkey quit an SSRI without some really gnarly withdrawal symptoms and the same goes for Tramadol and opiates and tons of other drugs.

I've been taking Tramadol for 4 years for general pain in my body due to end stage renal disease and osteodystrophy.  Since I've been taking Tramadol I have not needed antidepressants and I find that I function at a higher level with Tramadol than with any SSRI I have ever taken.  There are no negative side effects for me."


"I started taking paxil 13 years ago. I had severe panic attacks. It gave me my life back. Mild side effects. A little sleepy. I just hope it has no long term damage but at least I can enjoy my life."


"I'm on week five with paragard and I understand that it does not contain hormones however I have been gaining weight every week since I've been on it avg one lb week... I have put my self on a all protein diet and work out but the results still remain the same. I read in other threads that some People have also gained weight and feel bloated in the mid section ... And some have expressed that some women might be allergic to copper ... I will have to contact my Doc ... Otherwise the insertion was not too bad the cramping isn't too bad either and having a peace of mind for ten years is a plus!"


"I was switched from Marvelon to Apri about a year ago.  I lost 15 pounds after switching and after about one month of breaking out, I was back to clear skin again.  However, I have noticed a dramatic increase in mood swings with Apri.  I constantly find myself crying over the most insignificant things and am unable to control my emotions.  I'm worried it is starting to affect my relationship with my boyfriend and with others. I'm thinking of seeing a doctor and perhaps switching to a different pill...seems like its going to be difficult to find one that keeps my weight, skin, and emotions in check!"


"I had had a full shoulder repair done about 9 days to go they stuck me on this and when I first started taking it the side effects were a little crazy but after the initial 24 hours of taking it it works absolutely amazing I'm able to sleep. When I first started taking it at the doctor had recommended I take the whole pill 750 milligrams which I did knock me out so I can sleep in it was right after surgery and now I'm down to a third of the pill and it still works the same way it's an amazing muscle relaxer and I would recommend it to anybody. Some people may say that's not long enough on the medication to know whether or not it truly works but I'm telling you after a full shoulder repair it works just fine at work how it's supposed to."


"I'm not sure what other people experience months after the insertion, but I had my Liletta inserted in mid November and I have bled or have had spotting every day since insertion. I either have to use tampons or a  pad depending on the day but I can never go without one or the other. It is super effective as birth control for me, as I never want to have sex with my husband per all the blood. I will be looking for an alternative birth control method."


"I did Chantix before and I quit for about 3 months found out I had a tumor and started smoking again. Well I took my first Chantix pill again, I am a back to back smoker and I smoked 2 cigs in a row and got nauseous than I went out smoked 2 more and made me nauseous and than I threw up yep I'm done no more smoking for me."


"Changed my whole life."


"I get a shot when my eczema is flaring and this stuff just makes everything stop. I love it, it's like I finally have normal skin for a while. I get shots every few months and they are wonderful."


"I started taking Qsymia one year ago in October and I have lost a total of 80 lbs. (29 lbs. to goal). I'm a 28 year old female, 5'6 with a starting weight of 269 lbs. I suffer from polycystic ovarian syndrome so weight loss has been a difficult journey for me and my doctor and I decided to try this medication. I have to say that I am thrilled with the results. This allows me to stick to a strict 1500 calorie a day meal plan (set by my doctor for my specific needs). I also workout for 30-45 minutes a day for 4 to 5 days a week. I add that, to say that you do have to put in some work in order to get the best benefits from this medicine. I haven't experienced any negative side effects. I see my doctor for monthly weigh-ins and vital checks just to make sure."


"So I had unprotected sex and then I realized he had didn't pull out on time so an hour later we went to the pharmacy and I drank the pill because I was scared.  Two weeks passed and I woke up sick and dizzy but I didn't think anything about that. It was about the week I had to get my period and I wasn't coming I just had some cramping so a few days after I missed my period I did a home pregnancy test and it came out positive and I couldn't belive it so I ended up taking 3 more and they all said I was pregnant a few days later. I went to see my Doctor and after a few tesst it was positive. Plan B didn't work for me not even after drinking it just 1 hour after unprotected sex."


"Didnt help,"


"Klonopin works WAY better for me, and with little to no side effects, unlike Requip or Mirapex."


"I'm on day 8 with Chantix.  Smoked a pack a day for 25 years.  I haven't really noticed a huge change yet.  No nausea, no crazy dreams, no mood changes.  Cigarettes are starting to taste a little funny, and sometimes I'll light up and not want to smoke the whole thing.  I guess I'm just waiting for the big bang!  We'll see, this is only the first day of my second week with the tiny blue pill.  I'm sort of jealous of the posts I'm reading from people who said they stopped smoking on the 3 and 5 day.  I'll give it some time.  Day 9 is tomorrow."


"I travel both domestically and internationally quite a bit. Zolpidem helps me reset my body clock when I'm dealing with jet lag. Usually a take it for 2-3 nights until my body clock syncs. Never had any adverse reaction. The first day though, it seems like I'm a little slow to get going, but I attribute that to the variation of the body clock to the silly clock on the side table. Highly recommend for this purpose!"


"This was the third birth control that I tried, and was pretty close to just not using birth control pills anymore since the last two I tried has such severe side effects. However, this pill has been going quite well for me. I have been taking it for the past 2 weeks, and the only side effects I've noticed are nausea, headaches, a little more tired then usual, slight more acne. I am also getting this weird stomach pain after eating right after taking my pill but that could be from something else. Sex drive is normal, and my mood is the exact same. All in all, I think it's a good pill."


"This is my second go around with Chantix -- the last time being 7 or so years ago.  I'm on my second day with no smoking, (9th day on drug) and I feel like I have more energy, and generally feel like some cloud (no pun) has been lifted -- I haven't felt like this since I was 14 (started smoking a pack a day at 15).  I've been a smoker for 30 years.  I fear I'm on some kind of "pink cloud" that addicts often refer to.  I've had some strange dreams, and had trouble falling asleep last night -- but aside from that, no other side effects.  I'm hoping the dreams don't turn into nightmares, as they were so terrible 7 years ago when I first tried Chantix, that I had to stop."


"I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar II. This medication has been a life saver (literally) for me. It has helped keep my emotions in check. I took another medication lamicital that caused one continuous headache that never went away. My psychiatrist started me on a low dose of that medication so I wouldn't get a deadly rash. My emotions were all over the place and I was miserable. My psychiatrist put me on Depakote. At first this medication made me sluggish and hungry. I gained 5 lbs in the first 2 weeks. Since then I have laid off the snacks and beverages and have since gotten adjusted to the meds (also taking Zoloft). Three pounds have come off without trying. Each person is different, but this has really worked for me."


"I'd struggled with bulimia and depression  for many years, I was prescribed Prozac to mainly treat my depression, and partly the eating disorder.

With my personal experience with bulimia I never had the urges to binge eat, just to make myself vomit after eating proper sized portions of food. I had found that the Prozac had helped stopped the urges to throw up after eating quite effectively. The only side effect being that once I had stopped taking it the urges returned immediately.

Currently and trying to battle those thoughts without being prescribed medication, but may go back onto it if I'm unsuccessful after a year, or so."


"As a nurse on a busy unit, I can not afford to be drowsy nor work effectively with intense ear and eye itchiness. At times, I would even get wheezy and have problems with my breathing. None of the meds worked and they all made me extremely drowsy. My new family doctor recommended this med, saying 'even fighter pilots can take this'. That was in UK, But in Canada, the highest dosage one can get is 120 mg, that's my one complaint about the med."


"I have took Lyrica and it did not help but trokendi xr has helped my fibro more than any med the Dr. Has ever given me. It needs to be used more often, because it really helps."


"Had gives for 4 1/2 years.  Multiple doctors and medications, this is the only one that worked and gave me my life back. The side effects( hard time losing weight) are worth not being covered in thousands of hives."


"While on this birth control I've had major mood swings to the point where the people in my house walk on egg shells around me. I feel extremely annoyed and angry all the time. I also have been super spacey, like I'm daydreaming all day. I can't concentrate on anything (Not sure if its the birth control though) I can't wait to switch birth controls. I finally made it to the dr. to get a new one prescribed."


"So, got another strep infection. Haven't had one in a couple years. But you can always tell because you get fever and chills (like seizure shaking), pain when you swallow, and my tell-tale sign--dragon-hot Fire breath. Anyway, checked my throat out and it was bright red with white spots, patches of pus. I went to urgent care on my lunch and sure enough rapid strep test positive. I was prescribed augmentin 875 twice per day for 10 days. I just took my third pill and I already feel so much better. Wish I hadn't have waited 2 days."


"Second day into a 7 day cycle ...within the first 15 to 20 minutes ciprofloxacin gives me phantom sensations like flea bites..nothing major it goes away shortly after. The blood is clearing up in my urine but still a mild pain in my right flank. Hopefully this stuff gets rid of the bacteria for good. Feels like it is..other than a sour stomach it seems to be working"


"I am a 19 year old college student and just got prescribed Vyvanse about 2 days ago. When I take it I mainly feel relaxed and sometimes excited. I've never been on any stimulant or ADD medication before. My main concern is losing weight on this medicine. I'm about 5'9" and weigh about 135lbs. I eat a lot and I'm still fairly skinny. I've always worried about my weight and the last thing I want is to get skinnier. "


"This is not a miracle worker. But it does greatly improve my GAD and social anxiety. Its does mildly sedate me. I take it every day. Usually take about 100 mg a day in divided doses."


"While Adderall definitely helped my ADD symptoms, the comedown was absolutely horrible. I was on 30mg per day (20mg IR in morning, 10mg IR 5hrs later). It made me finally able to focus, and stay organized for the 5 months I took it. However, as soon as it started wearing off, I turned into a real big jerk, and I even lost some friends because of it. I eventually discontinued it after having a mental breakdown, and due to several of my closest friends and family approaching me about how I was acting. I ended up switching to Concerta and currently take 36mg per day. I find that it works 10 times better than Adderall did for me. Long story short, Adderall, while definitely very effective at treating my symptoms, wasn't the right fit for me."


"I got a severe back injury about 2 years ago.  Couldn't function pain was so bad.  So my doctor started putting me on codiene, then vicoden, then tramadol, and then so on but they all gave me hours of vomiting, gut wrenching cramps, and sweating.  Read about benadryl being used to prevent this side effect.  I took 3 25 mg tabs.  I know that is one over recommended but I was desperate.  35 mins later I was sitting with my kids and not the trash can for the first time in a while.  I can't believe I didn't figure this out sooner especially with a biotech degree."


"I started the Suboxone program about 1 year ago but, I'm now currently taking Subutex. The reason I've been put on Subutex is due to a work related injury and with Suboxone one cannot take any opiates due to the blocker and I need the Subutex because I'll be having surgery soon. Long story short....I WOULD RECOMMEND A SUBOXONE TREATMENT PROGRAM TO ANYONE-YOU DON'T HAVE THOSE "CRAVINGS" YOU ONCE HAD! IF YOU ARE WILLING TO STOP "USING" THIS IS THE BEST PROGRAM AVAILABLE. IN MY OPINION GIVE THE PROGRAM A TRY AND FINALLY YOU WILL FEEL NORMAL AGAIN- IT'S AMAZING HOW WONDERFUL YOU FEEL KNOWING YOU ARE CLEAN AND MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU ARE FINALLY BACK TO YOUR OLD SELF AGAIN."


"I started using Zoloft about 2 months ago for stress and anxiety. I have a teenager and we fought constantly, I would fly off at him for back talking and we were both miserable. Since taking Zoloft we get along so much better and I am not as stressed. I also have a touch of OCD, I was always cleaning and stressing about everything in the house not being like it should, now I am not bothered if something is out of place or not cleaned. I spend time with my 2 kids instead of cleaning house. I am taking 50mg and I love it. My sex drive hasn't been affected, my appetite decreased for about 2 weeks but it's okay now. I recommend this medication to anyone who feels they need something to help with stress."


"So, I have mixed feelings about this drug.

Pros: Helped me not crave sugar, bread and carbs. I lost 20 pounds on it. Helped me stay motivated at the gym by being able to stick to my meal plans.

Cons: If you take it, you need to be committed. For some odd reason, I and a lot of people have experienced it, when you get off it then try to retake it again, it doesn't seem to work. STAY ON IT. I didn't get side effects from this med, maybe occasional anxiety and a headache. Drinking on this med will give you the worst hangovers. Also noticed sometimes it stalled my weight loss even when I was counting my intake.

Overall, I probably won't take this drug again  until there is more thorough, long term research done on it."


"I've been on Latuda for about 6 weeks for Bipolar depression. It is one of the most effective medications that I have taken for depression but I'm dealing with a few side effects that I hope will go away. I have the paradox of extreme tiredness followed by difficulty sleeping. If I take it during the day I will have a few hours of fighting falling asleep. When I take it at night (which is what I do now) after the initial sleepiness wears off I wake up several times and am somewhat restless. Hopefully I will be able to adjust better over time. If you need something that works fast for depression I would recommend."


"I've had Skyla for a year and three months; The insertion was painful and uncomfortable, I had some VERY light spotting, cramping, and a bit of nausea the first day, but by the following day I was absolutely fine. All in all, this has been the BEST decision I've ever made in terms of birth control, prior to Skyla I took pills and they wreaked havoc on my body and libido, after almost three years I was fed up with the side effects so I opted to try something new. I would recommend this IUD to anyone reconsidering their current method of BC, the simplicity and joy of not having to remember a pill every night, emergency prescription runs, and the improvement in the overall feeling of my body is incredible and well worth one day of discomfort."


"25 year old, with major depression. Take with other medicines (Sertraline   trazodone) greatly helps interest which the others don't. Probably inattentive ADD- never got on in school. 18mg is good. 27mg is okay but I'm a bit paler and a bit edgier. Any more and I look and feel washed out and jumpy."


"I am not obese but I decided to try Alli as a weight loss supplement to help with my diet because I have zero willpower. I like to eat and eat until I'm full and I like pizza. I was 5'8" and 160 lbs. 40D-29-34. Dress size M/8. With no diet change, I lost a few pounds using Alli. Enough to throw out some too big clothing. At day 90 I changed my diet and began eating healthier and there's a change in my body shape. I had IBS constipation but Alli removed the need for me to take prescriptions for my IBS. I don't have accidents but I am very regular now -like clockwork! And the Alli works for me to lose the few lbs. I needed to lose. I can fit into a 6."


"Best product I have used.  Easy to use and my seborrheic dermatitis has totally cleared up.  Doesn't leave the skin greasy or oily."


"I was drinking for 4 years and tried numerous rehab centers, all of which did not believe in providing drugs, just vitamins.... I tried to stop on my own the other day and sat in the living room shaking and shivering. I finally went to my Dr. Yesterday and  he prescribed Librium to help with the shakes and anxiety. Day 2 and feeling much better... the drug works for the shakes and pain of withdrawal... I know I have a long road ahead to actually clean up my act, but the drug is a great start to dealing with the discomfort. I tried to write on my computer yesterday but the shakes would not allow me to make any sense, today, I can write with fairly good ability. The Librium definitely helps. Good Luck everyone in recovery, it can be a  struggle"


"amazing medication"


"This is the best treatment for my panic issues."


"Plavix has done wonders for me. I've tried other anti-clotting medicines; Plavix has provided a better quality of life for me."


"It is great for opiate addiction withdrawal.
And to stay off opiates. You do not have withdrawal and do not feel the opiate high while taking. I took suboxone for 6 years and zubsolv for 2. I have been off all for just over 3 weeks and finally starting to feel normal.  I do have to tell you it can get your life back together but at some point you will want to stop. Withdrawal is just as bad stopping zubsolv as opiates.
The first 9 days for me were horrible. And I knew what I was in for. Not to discourage anyone. But hang in there it will get better. You may feel like time has stopped for a couple weeks but for what its worth you'll be free and clean."


"This is the first preventative drug I have used that offers both short term relief to my athsma, I have used it whilst suffering an attack and the symptoms were alleviated quickly, and long term prevention. I can be quite slack in renewing my script and my athsma, and all its nasty side affects usually come back with a vengeance within a month. I'm on a high dose and I take four puffs daily, two times in the morning and again and night. I have never had trouble sleeping whilst using Symbicort. I can't recommend this medication enough, I have to take it for the rest of my life, the drug is so unobtrusive so the thought of this doesn't worry me."


"I started taking Contrave 7 months ago today and by working with it changing some of my eating habits I have lost 60 lbs!!!!  I have about 45 to go but I feel amazing.  I still eat the things I like but it has curbed my appetite which allows me to make better choices.  It has taken away all the cravings.  My blood sugar has gone from 147 to 106 and my A1c is within acceptable range for the first time in probably 30 years!  I'm 57 years old and this just goes to show it is never too late to make a change!  I have recommended it to several people and they are all having varying degrees of success.  I wish you the best, it has saved my life!"


"Although I developed serious reactions to this medicine, it was best medicine to use with Gemzar over my initial diagnosis and secondary recurrence.  On my third recurrence (ten years later) I again had a reaction butmnot until my CA-125 went below 1,000!"


"I've been suffering from depression and GAD since 2000. It was pretty bad and I was immediately put on Paxil but also tried Welbutrin, Celexa, and Trazadone. The last three didn't really work for me but Paxil in combination with Clonazapam did help me after a period of time. I had some good stretches and some bad ones. In 2010 my doctor suggested Lexapro at 10mg. It was amazing. I felt great and I didn't need the clonazapam. This lasted for about 2 years but then a few stressful situations made my anxiety and depression come back. My doctor increased Lexapro to 20mg and also put me back on clonazapam. I was on this for about 2 months with no relief. Either my anxiety and depression were quite bad or the Lexapro just pooped out."


"I have been on Victoza for 1 week now.  I have lost several pounds thus far! My blood sugars numbers have been fantastic....between 85-100.  I have had some stomach discomfort (i.e. loose and frequent bowel motions and queasiness).  It's like my brain is finally telling me when to stop eating!  It's amazing...I've never known this!"


"I had severe eczema on my face, forehead and my cheeks and eyebrows all my life. It was so scaly, flaky and itchy on a daily basis that due to  my constant scratching, I had no eyebrows left as they had fallen out due to the constant scratching and the skin was so damaged that new eyebrows couldn't grow. And my face was always red like I had severe sunburn.

 I started using using Elidel just over 10 years ago. And after just a few weeks of using Elidel my face actually started to heal. My skin totally changed its texture, tone and colour back to what it should have been originally. There was no more itching or the need and desire to scratch. It has totally eradicated the eczema and has been absolutely life changing."


"5 8", 130lbs male, 20mg works very well for me. DO NOT expect this drug to work the first night you try it! This is especially true if you just quit a hypnotic like Zolpidem and just started taking it. The initial "paradoxical effect" and unusual dreams subsided after a few days, once my brain "adjusted" to it. (I had a similar effect when I first began using Zolpidem which just made me feel drugged but kept me awake).
Also, this drug is specifically made for a neurological hyperarousal condition - that is, for people that are predisposed towards insomnia in either their brain structure or neurochemical composition. If your insomnia is due to sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, bad sleep hygiene, late-shift work, etc, it won't work as designed."


"I have tried both the injection and tablet and it's has worked wonders. I have suffered with migraines since I was middle school (now 31 yrs old) and this is the first medicine that has given me any relief. The side effects only last for about 10 minutes so it's no problem. The only issue I have is after about 4 or 5 hours the migraine seem to start up right. Either way any relief is better than suffering through a migraine."


"Did not work at all. "


"I'm 18 and I've had 4 Depo shots. So many things in my body and personality have changed and I have just today realized that it's all because of this shot. I have had horrible stomach pains almost every day sometimes multiple times a day, sometimes coming with diarrhea. Also I've had no sex drive, mood swings, terrible anxiety, and depression. I am never getting this shot again, any other form of birth control would be better then this one. Do NOT try the Depo shot."


"Ativan will definitely help calm you down, but stick to the script! If you quit cold turkey you will have withdrawals for a week. You build a slight tolerance for it and want more. If you give in and take more you will run out before refill time and then come the withdrawals! But it does do its job on anxiety!"


"I am over 50 and I no longer get the amount of sleep that I used to.Went from 8 hours to now I'm lucky if I get 5 hours and it's interrupted sleep.
I tried prescription sleeping pills once, but they had nasty
 side affects
Melatonin really helps. If you take too high a dose( larger than 3mg) you will wake up with a headache
I  break a 3mg pill in half and take it"


"I have been on Yaz for 7 months now to treat my chin acne. The first three months of taking Yaz, I had the worst cystic breakouts in places I have never gotten breakouts before. It was terrible but I wanted to give it some time. Now it has been 7 months and I still break out on my chin, there has been time maybe two weeks when I haven't gotten any breakouts at all but now it is the same thing as before. I also quit sugar and dairy and using all natural skin care products but still no dramatic improvement. Also, Yaz made me gain weight and I have noticed eyelash hair loss."


"Relaxed little toe."


"I have Chronic Anxiety associated with PTSD and chronic panic attacks. I was given this for about 4 months with no effect on my panic whatsoever. I had a doctor that was dead set against Benzodiazapines and she later put me on BuSpar for 8 months which was also worthless.  I have switched doctors and am currently on 0.5mg of Xanax 2 x day and it takes care of all my symptoms. "


"severe blurred vision, frequent urination day & night, abdominal discomfort."


"If you are scrolling down at these reviews panicking wondering if this will work then stop it. I was in your shoes not that long ago. I took plan b on the 29th of January after having unprotected sex my boyfriend came inside me 100% I took it about 20 minutes after the incident was okay. The next day ... we had more unprotected sex  (yeah I'm aware how dumb we are) so I went to get plan b again couldn't find it so we had to settle for my way ( took it 2 hrs after) I was just really tired and had crazy cravings.. my period was late and I was so afraid but it came 2 days late and I was extremely happy! Don't stress it ! This  works !!"


"This was the best medication I have ever had.  I take 2 at night and 1 in the morning.  I only trouble I have had was at one time the Doctor tried to up me to 2 night and 2 in the morning and it caused terrible vertigo like feeling.  I couldn't even stand up.  Overal I would say it's a great medication."


"My son was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome at an early age. He was put on clonidine. Made him sleepy so we gave 1/4 th his dose and it suppressed his tics. Very beneficial to his quality of life in my eyes. Did cause mild dry mouth."


"I've tried straterra, Dexedrine, Ritalin, vyvanse.  I would take vyvanse but it's way too $$.  Generic adderall has been the best as far as cost and effects.  The only thing I have disliked is the connotation adderall has because I can tell some doctors are against it. I have had two doctors lecture me on how something else must be wrong because I take 75 mg daily.  I tried to switch to the XR and lower my dose to 60mg, but insurance won't cover it.  This medication has been really helpful for me, but I feel like I need it because without it I'm a wild ape (hyper, make silly noises, annoying). It keeps me calm and focused on the big picture.  I would use modafilin if I could because the side effects are less pronounced, but again the price."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Took this twice as prep for Colonoscopy.  It was disgusting to drink but they all are.  Then came the weakness, dizziness and the migraine headache.  Very very bad migraine headache.  Never again."


"I have neuropathy in both feet up to my knees and both hands and without this drug I couldn't walk or do much of anything else. I have been taking Oxycodone for one and a half years and would not even consider stopping."


"Before taking Viibryd was on Lexapro for a year. I experienced severe withdrawals while transitioning medication. Electric jolts..severe headaches..extreme anxiety..extreme aggression..paranoia then once the viibryd started working everything stopped I feel good 40mg works best for me. I am bi polar, this drug has helped a great deal with severe mood swings. I hope it continues to work for me."


"During my first week I had aura migraines, so bad that I vomitted at times. I'm a month and 4 days into pack 2 and I've had horrible anxiety, depression, decrease in sex drive, loss of appetite and nausea! This has been the worst experience of my life! I'd rather be pregnant."


"Hi! So I took ellaone last month and I took it within 10 hours of having unprotected sex. I was convinced everything would be ok until my period was 10 days late! Of course I freaked out and was convinced I was pregnant as my period had only ever been up to 3 days late before. Took one pregnancy test, came back negative, took another pregnancy test and it was faulty- one line was vertical and one was horizontal (both meant to be vertical if pregnant) so I booked in to see doctor. I had all the symptoms of pregnancy but unfortunately for us women, most of the pregnancy symptoms are the exact same as period symptoms. Anyway to cut a long story short- my period came today! Ella one DOES work. It's just a high dose of hormonas."


"I have had the implanon for almost 8 months. I have experienced so much bleeding. I was on my period for six months. Off for a month, then on again. Recently it stopped for a few days and I have had some spotting just today. My sex drive is normal and it does what it's meant to do not get me pregnant. I like how I don't have to remember to take it as often as other birth control and it lasts for a while."


"I've been on narcotic pain meds for over 20 years for severe degenerative joint disease in my back and several other joints. My doctor gave me lidocaine 5% patches to try about a month ago. I seriously doubted they would help, as any other topical creams have never helped much, but I was pleasantly surprised. They work so well that I have decreased my opiate dosage by half and am able to be more active than I have been in years. I don't think that they will work that well for everyone, but I do recommend everyone try them if they can, it has been a godsend for me."


"This was, by far, the best med that I have ever taken for my mood and anxiety. I'm Bipolar with severe anxiety, and it helped me to feel normal for 8 months. Unfortunately, I developed joint and nerve pain after a month or so, which over time became so severe that I could barely walk and spent most time lying in pain. It took almost 3 months after stopping the med, but I am now physically back to normal (with an extra 30lbs due to inactivity). My mood plummeted quickly after stopping the med, and I became severely depressed. I have returned to the rough shape I was in before starting the med. Such a shame; I thought it was my miracle drug."


"I hate BC. I have tried them all. I stayed off of them for several years and became tired with condoms and finally gave in. Well.. I gained 10 lbs and did everything to lose it. I had the sweetest sexiest bf and he broke up with me after 4 months on the pill (which I took for him) because I became a crazy emotional mess. I fought with anyone and everyone. I was unmotivated and severely depressed to the extreme. It is not worth it. Just use condoms or refrain from sex. You have a better chance of a long term relationship with no sex at all than becoming the crazy monster this pill makes you."


"I've been on this medication for almost 13 months. My OB/GYN thought this was a good fit for me being that I'm a nursing mom. I am back down to my pre pregnancy weight, no acne issues like others have experienced and no mood changes as I did with the Depo Shot. All in all my experiences have been good and positive but each person is different."


"I was at first thrilled with the idea of 3 years of effective birth control without shots or pills every day, so I decided to try it. I have depression and anxiety and I didn't notice any changes with that or significantly with my weight. I bled for the first two months (lightly) and then it stopped for three months and the whole time I'm thinking this is the best birth control ever, worry free long term birth control and no periods, but then it came back with a vengeance, I've been bleeding for three months (lightly) with no signs of it stopping. I tried taking the pill on top of it and then I stopped taking the pill and had a full-fledged period and it stopped for about 4-5 days just to tease me then went right back to it."


"Got this at ER. Caused my depression to worsen after three weeks. Despite drowsiness, the co-occurrence with restlessness initially caused inability to sleep. Further use led to somnolence, further lack of motivation and suicidal ideation. Discontinuation caused depersonalization and severe aggression. Read the story of Dan Markingson. Not recommended at all for depression."


"I feel this medicine has helped with minimum side effects. I do not get a high or low feeling taking it. I have been able to do more with little pain. I have learned my limitations which was very important in order to not over do it that can cause more problems."


"Hi, I'm 36 yr old male and never had panic attacks or anxiety.  About about 3 weeks ago I had a massive panic attack and then I started having chronic anxiety attacks that would last for most part of the starting from the very moment I wake up. My heart beat was constantly at 90  bpm, I lost weight very, very quickly and and had no energy left. Doctor gave me Xanax but it just made me sleepy. I thought the anxiety would never go away and that I'll lose my job and home and my independence. I went back to my doctor and he gave me Paxil, reluctantly, I started on 10mg for a week. I up'd my dose to 20mg on the 7th day, and until the 14th day no effect (only side effects) but then a miracle. My anxiety is all but gone on the 15th day and no panic."


"I was on Augmentin for 6 days with virtually no results.  I woke up on the 6th day with a severe headache and called the doctor for another prescription.  Probably the worst side effect though was severe upset stomach and constipation to the point where medicines for upset stomach and suppositories did not help."


"Humira has been the ONLY option for me. I have/had moderate Psoriasis covering approx 70% of my body with nail involvement.  Humira even clears up my finger nails! I've been able to wear shorts and go swimming without being overwhelmingly self conscious for the first time in years! On a side note... I find that the old fashioned  syringe is much less painful than the pen auto-injector. Hope this helps."


"I was on this pill for two months, by the end of it I couldn't stand it anymore. I also felt a lot of anxiety and was very irritable. I also noticed a huge decline in sex drive and acne increased a lot. I found myself getting irritated for no reason a lot of the time. I am very happy I stopped taking it."


"I've been taking this for a little over a month. I had some concerns at first because of all the side effects people have experienced, however I haven't had any problems yet.  The only thing I have experienced is a nauseous feeling, but nothing that really makes me lose my appetite."


"I started Imuran after yet another dose of steroids and now I have got my confidence back I will only use the bathroom four times a day on a normal day but I am careful with my diet, no fiber."


"My last post was in February 2014. To sum up my experience: starting weight: 161.4, height 5'3. Received two total bottles of 37.5mg pills, which lasted me from February '14 to June '14. I would halve pills, skip days, etc if I felt the need, so these lasted quite awhile. My lowest weight once all was said and done: 141.2 on June 20th,  20.2 lbs lost. Today, Jan 30 2015, I weigh 146.2. I am happy that in 7 months time I've only managed to gain 5 lbs (AND after the holidays thank you very much!). This pill is great, but it's not a miracle. It also won't last forever as you can only have 3 refills a year if you meet the BMI requirement for medical weight loss. Taught me portion control"


"Parent to son with psychotic experiences diagnosed bipolar mania by one doctor and Schizo affective disorder by another. Been on a 3 year roller coaster nightmare. Refusal to take sulpiride and risperidone orally for any time resulted in having depot injections but our experience to date of the depot injections is more negative given the side affects. Like lost personality, tiredness, restlessness. Bouts of long sleeping followed by walking round and round the room. When standing rocking from foot to foot. Inability to engage in conversations. Sense of hopelessness ..We didn't really clue up on the drug and are concerned about the inability to come off/reduce them because a months worth has been injected then topped up."


"I have an ovarian cyst. I've taken Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for about 2.5 weeks. I read so many reviews, all were so negative. I was stressing out about taking it. But to my surprise and somewhat disappointment. I didn't get ANY side effects. No headaches, no nausea, no digestive system problems. I don't know yet how effective it is for my problem (ovarian cyst) but it didn't clear up my shoulder acne. Actually, it got somewhat worse. So I'm wondering if it's actually working for me. Don't know how it works as birth control, somewhat scared getting off the condoms. As for the price, I had to pay $70 for one month, which is a lot for me. I'm 17, about 5'2", about 115-120 lbs. Hope this helps!!"


"When I started Paxil 7 months ago I was clinically depressed. I had panic attacks that would come several times a day and my body was always tense. I had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I was wrecked after an emotional trauma. My brain was on overdrive. Within the first 2 months on Paxil I kept a journal blogging symptoms and changes and after a while I realized I stopped writing altogether. I would always write when I was sad. The medicine kept being more effective as time went on but I eventually got a dose upage from 20mg to 30mg. I have never felt so happy, ever."


"After finding live lice in my 10 yr old daughters hair, I immediately went to buy an OTC product.  Treated hair that evening & 2x daily I would painstakingly go through her hair removing nits. 4 days later, found live lice (and yes, I followed the directions to the tee!).  I retreated, but the next day my other daughter was scratching, she had lice too!  I did same treatment for her as well, but when I found that I had them as well, I called their pediatrician and that's where Sklice came into the picture.  He not only prescribed treatments for us, but for my two sons and husband as well.  One treatment and POOF! No more lice!!!  No more hrs spent removing nits!! (Use $25 coupon on Sklice website!)"


"Tried Tegretol to no avail. Trileptel is great for me."


"I am diagnosed with borderline personality disorder with psychotic features. I was put in intensive out patient care after going to the Emergency Room for intense auditory hallucinations that were so malicious I feared for my own life. Lost my job and everything. Seroquel has given me hope as well as lorazepam for my anxiety. To me seroquel is a miracle drug for its antipsychotic features as well as depression. I'm having to up the dosage lately because my voices are creeping back in. Searching for further pychiactric help but right now I'm stable and I thought that would be impossible. Sharing a good experience. Thanks for reading."


"I just started Sprintec four days ago, this is the first birth control ever for me I am 23. The main side effect on day one was nausea, I was so sick I slept by the trash can that night. It has been getting better though. I will write an update review when I finish the first pack."


"I've tried so many different things like topical and antibiotics, I'm so glad I caught my acne early! I'm only on month 3 and my face is almost cleared up! ACCUTANE IS TRULY A MIRACLE PILL! I also barely have any side effects, weirdly enough my lips are not dry and chapped."


"I have fibromyalgia and was first prescribed Gabapentin, which helped some of my issues, but I needed something more to ease my widespread pain. My doctor than added Etodolac 400 mg every 6 hrs as needed. At first I only took it periodically but I didn't see results. Then I began taking it 3 times spread throughout the day. I can now move and walk and my pain has almost disappeared. I did have some bloating and gas side effects, but can totally tolerate that versus the pain that I was in."


"I have been on it for 3 months and have noticed my mood swings are up and down. I am always on the edge of crying no matter what and my boyfriend and I bicker a lot more. Another big issue is that I have lost 10lbs on it and I'm already a tiny girl. "


"My thyroid was removed in 1990. Nothing worked well for me except Armour. Then suddenly this past year Armour was impossible to find. They're reformulating and left all of us hanging. I found out about Westhroid researching on the Internet. I've been on Westhroid for 3 months and it was only a week before I was back to normal. It is the perfect alternative to Armour while Forest Labs leaves the people relying on their product, in a lurch. "


"I find Neurontin/gabapentin to be a life saver in regards to my hot flashes. I was on the verge of going insane with how severe my hot flashes were and how frequent they were! The only problem....I've gained about 30lbs in the past 9 months. I want to quit because of the weight gain but I'm afraid the hot flashes will come back with a vengeance."


"First I noticed my computer screen got too bright and then I had to let less light into my room. After One Week being on Macrobid I really got worried as every thing I normally could see such as my 24' wall clock was blurry and I could not even see the numbers. I saw my eye doctor and it was determined after many tests, that Macrobid was really degrading my vision and it happened quite rapidly.

It took about a good full two weeks before I felt my vision was returning close to normal. Yes, when your vision goes bad , one gets really shaken.If you notice that things start to get too bright after two days of being on this drug. See you Doctor and fast. I had a vision test two months later and I am happy to report all was once again well."


"I started taking Phentermine 37.5 on July 19, 2015 (265 pounds) on the morning of July 27, 2015 I lost 9 pounds, in just one week.  That's amazing to me.  I start to get jittery when I forget to eat, in which I try to eat healthy foods, chicken, fish, turkey, veggie's and fruit at least 3 times a day.  It's very important and helpful to drink plenty of water, also chewing gums helps.  The one side affect for me is constipation.  My goal is to get to 175 and maintain it.  Best of Luck to Us ALL."


"Been using this now, doctor recommended last 3 months. I like the 150mg cooling mint Zantac. I have exhausted all other options, I'm eating smaller healthier meals every 2-3 hours and added even more exercise to my exercise plan but still have the GERD. I take this usually right after my dinner and right before bed if needed. It works wonders. During the day, I take ONE 20mg famotidine (Pepcid AC) usually in between my breakfast and lunch at work and that gets me through until after dinner."


"I got this in August 2016, the only part that hurt was the numbing shot. I got my period when I usually did yet it was SO heavy and SO painful. The blood clots were very large also which was horrible. My first three periods were very heavy to the point where I was debating if I should take it out as well as they were slight prolonged (about a week and a half) Then I skipped my period for two months and now my period is prolonged (It's been almost two weeks). my period was about to end normally, I felt myself get off my period and so I decided to have sex. The day after I start bleeding again and it's just blood clots and brownish red blood? I'm just hoping my body is cleaning out the two month build up. Overall not bad and no side effects"


"I started taking Contrave Friday, Dec. 11, 2015. Today is the 15th. I took 4 pills a day, 2 in the am and 2 in the pm. Yesterday, I took 2 pills @ 4am, from there it was downhill. I was nausea ALL DAY, restless, and body sweats. I tried ginger ale, crackers, broth, and water to ease the pain. Around 8pm I vomited. Kool. I ate broth, drank water, and drank a glass of red wine. At 9pm, I vomited til 9:45pm to the point tears came streaming down my face. Finally around 12am I fell asleep. It's 4 am and I'm up writing this. After reading other comments like mine, I similar side effects. After this, I will pray for strength to CONTROL my own mind without med to loose weight! "


"Lexapro made everything worse for me. Had horrible side effects! Teeth clinching, headaches, zombie like, no energy, insomnia and horrible nightmares. Had to stop after 3 days."


"My doctor prescribed Pristiq to help me deal with overwhelming grief after death of my son. I never took any antidepressants before, so I have nothing to compare it with. It worked very well for me, after taking it for just 3 days,without major side effects. I don't cry everyday like I used to, but also feel somewhat emotionally numb. I am calmer, happier and able to go on with my life."


"I have been taking Celexa for only three weeks but I've already noticed a difference in my mood. I feel a bit more relaxed and the panic attacks are null if any. I started with 10mg for 4 days then up to 20mg which proved to be way too much for me so I backed down to 10mg and have felt great since. Side effects: some slight yawning here and there but not a big deal. I recommend this medicine for those with mild anxiety/depression."


"Like most women I had uncontrolled spotting for the brunt of the time on nexplananon. There is a solution! Go to your doctor or free clinic (if you don't have insurance you can still be seen and prescribed) and ask about the mini pill. I've taken it for a month, and boom, no spotting. My libido has even gone back to normal. Now I see why some people love nexplanon, it's awesome if you aren't spotting! I'm uninsured and a two month supply cost me 20 bucks."


"I've dealt with anxiety for the past 7 years, but about 2 months ago it got really bad. I started having at least one panic attack a day and it was really scary. I'm not a depressed person, but the anxiety was making me feel that way because I didn't know if I would go back to "normal" - I finally decided to see the doctor and tried Zoloft. I didn't have any side effects, just mild anxiety that got better day to day. A couple of high anxiety days in between, but all in all... I was getting back to myself. Here I am, a couple of months later and COMPLETELY back to normal! I feel so happy and thankful that I decided to try medicine."


"I started taking the medication on Tuesday, so I have now been on it for four days. The second day I wanted to eat everything and anything I can put in my mouth so I know I must have put on some weight. Today is Friday and finished dinner, I am sick to my stomach and want to throw up. The thought of food right now is making me sick. I had stomach cramps a couple of days ago. Usually around this time I am going to the refrigerator to see what I can put in my mouth whether hungry or not. I plan on increasing my dose next Tuesday to 2 a day and so on. I hope this will work for me because nothing else has."


"I switched to this after taking Yaz for years due to cost. Under the Affordable Health Care Act, BCBS offered me Gianvi for free whereas I had to pay $50 for Yaz.  After 6 months, I'd pay anything to switch back.  Since going on Gianvi, I've seen considerable weight gain (some attributable to lifetime changes) but I now experience uncontrollable bouts of anger that near the level of rage.  My sex drive is virtually non-existent and my skin isn't nearly as clear as it was on Yaz. I switched back as of today.

The only upside... after dealing with my increasingly awful personality for the past few months, my boyfriend is still around.  Guess the Gianvi was confirmation that man really does love me!"


"I have experienced chronic constipation since I was diagnosed with systemic lupus 15 years ago.  I have tried nearly every over the counter remedy with only short-term relief.  I have been on 185 mg Linzess for a month and am happy when it actually works.  Maybe it is too soon to decide if it is a great drug to relieve my constipation, but so far, it only stimulates a bowel movement 2-3 days/week; most often within 2 hours of taking the drug on an empty stomach.  The other days, I am bloated, constipated and full of gas."


"Been on my period for 6 months straight now. Not a light/spotting thing either. I bleed through super tampons. I don't think I can handle it much longer."


"I have lost 80 percent of my hair. I also have had bladder problems."


"I've been on Topiramate for 3 weeks now and my migraines have stopped. I had them everyday. And I lost weight 5 pounds in this 3 weeks. Coke taste weird too not the same taste. I've notice I eat less junk food as well. So I'm happy with it."

"I took the Suprep at 6 & 11pm Sunday. Had procedure Mon @ 7. I was in a lot of pain all over and when I woke from procedure was in worse pain. They sent me home and I was unable to eat or drink, but no vomiting. The pain got worse by evening and I was unable to walk. Off to ER where I was admitted. My Lipase level was over 3000, liver functions very bad, WBC very bad, and Potassium dangerously low!! They had to pump me full of fluids and potassium! Needless to say, Suprep almost killed me!! Never again!! And Never Again on Colonoscopy!! This was my 4th colonoscopy and never had this happen before!! 6 days later and still have diarrhea!!"


"I am 5'10 and when I started taking this medication I was at 240 after the first 45 days I was down 16 pounds and it has been a nice steady slow 6 to 10 pounds at each weigh in.  I am now down to 180 and I feel GREAT.  Worth every penny, and my only side effect's were dry mouth and I did have to go on a potassium supplement because I was getting leg craps.  With the weight loss that this medication has helped with I was able to get off of some other medication for high blood pressure."


"I got this implant about 9 months ago and I love it! The first week after insertion I had spotting but since that first week I haven't had a period which is great. I love not having to worry about it for 3 years. The insertion wasn't bad, the numbing shot was the worst part."


"Implanon has been good to me. I first put it in in 2005 and then again in 2008. I took it out in February 2009 and got pregnant by May 2009! I put it in again when my daughter was about six weeks old and have had no major issues with it in terms of the regularity of my periods, skin breakouts, mood swings and stuff."


"This medicine has been truly life changing. My anxiety and depression were severe, and no other medicine had shown promising results. After about 3 months on this medicine (Only 30mg) I had remarkable results."


"Its only been 18 hours since my first pill. I've been drinking close to 2 liters of rum in 3 days for years. Talking to a friend who knows my condition I informed him I was going to start right then and there. I threw out the rest of what I was drinking, ate and fell asleep. I would always wake up sick and of course to make myself feel calmer I would drink. NOT TODAY. Soon I will reach 24hours.  PRAY FOR ME!"


"We love the patch. The results with Daytrana are amazing. He still eats before applying and after taking off, his personality hasn't changed, just his behavior. The only negative thing I can say is the red mark the patch leaves after you take it off, my son always says it itches."


"I have taken it for about 4-5 yes.  I feel able to cope pretty well considering.  I live by myself and manage to do most things.  I still have memory issues, but so do most people.  I have been fortunate not to have had adverse effects of any consequence."


"My doctor (a psychopharmologist-one who specializes in medication) started telling me about Belsomra 2 years ago.  I have acute insomnia and no drug ever worked. He explained how Belsomra works in a completely different way than any other drug for sleep.  He also explained that it took 2 years to get FDA approval because Merck (the manufacturer) was NOT willing to have it classified as an addictive controlled substance when the fact that addiction is far less than on any other drug for sleep.  The FDA also had issues w/ the dose-studies show 15-20 mg is optimal.  Merck finally "caved" to both issues but if you're taking 5-10 and it isn't working, ask about increasing it.  Works for me!"


"Started taking Miralax about a week ago. I didn't have it with me this last weekend, and I still went to the bathroom. I must say since I have been taking it, I have had a little cramping, this pretty  much is the red flag saying time to use the restroom. I must be really constipated if this cramping if happening. But I'm going to keep taking it and see how I feel in a few weeks. So far I'm going to the restroom it's slowly moving out. Yeah! Miralax"


"My Don started taking Focalin and started to complain that he could not see the board at school. At first I figured well maybe he is just a kid who needs glasses. His prescription was very low. Now a year and a half later his principal from his school called me because he failed the state eye test with his glasses on he has a 20/50 vision. So I took him back to the doctor and they could not correct his vision with the strongest prescription. Everything is blurry and out of focus, he lost all peripheral vision on both eyes. The doctors first question was "What medication is he on?" So I advised him Focalin 10mg. He advised me to immediately go to the doctor who prescribed it because it is a severe side effect of Focalin. Grrrr"


"I had the Mirena ID for a year and it was the worse mistake of my life. I was lucky that I didn't have developed any cystic anomalies, however I had literally almost all the side effects. I gain 40 pounds, I had acne, I had to use sleeping aids in order to sleep, I have great hair loss, I had zero energy, I had some memory loss at times. The day my doctor pull out this IUD I could felt the difference and I'm doing so much better."


"As I've only been on the medication a week, don't take this review exactly to heart. My first day on this medication was extremely brain foggy, trouble concentrating and very sleepy. I was already sleeping excessively to begin with, which is something I was needing help with. The first night I took this I slept for 14 hours, which is actually way more then I usually do. I also didn't really feel like myself taking this medication, it kinda sucks the life right out of you. I would reply slower to things, take longer to think of responses, and all in all lack the normal enthusiasm I usually had. Now, as far as my mood swings went, I believe I have a mild case of bipolar. My doctor prescribed me 200 mg twice a day, which I've just been halfing"


"I stopped running marathons, something I really enjoyed. My arthritis has put a stop to any running. Now, I walk 5-6 miles every other day with a pair of weights around my ankles. My arthritis kept me up at night until I started my Synvisc-One injections. I get one in each knee every 6 months; they really make a difference."


"Long-term use resulted in severe itching, had to take diphenhydramine concurrently to counteract."


"I've had chronic pain due to a Whipple Procedure/Surgery. I had basically half of my digestive system removed. 60% of stomach & Pancreas. Removed Gall bladder. 5 other surgeries done since 1996. Removed around 11-12 feet small intestine all together. 2 feet large intestine. Serious chronic pain. I've been in the very best pain clinics in Boston, Ma. Lucky that I was there or I wouldn't have survived. This medication is in my opinion the very best if taken correctly. Take at the same time. It works well long term. I would love for someone to read this and take the plunge. Instead of me having to suffer around 12 years. My quality of life is an experience that I was convinced I would never have. You must have the correct Doctor. You WILL B Happy"


"Brilliant"


"Hi, all ckecking in again after 4 weeks on harvoni, I'm feeling pretty good. Some days I  feel really tied and some days I  just feel odd, but feel ok.

Had blood tests and my alts are on the lower side of normal and I'm  happy about that. Viral load results not in yet, but I'll  let you know as soon as I  have them.

So far so good 8 weeks to go"


"I saw dermatologist for mild, persistent acne. I'm a nineteen year old female and I've been having persistent acne problems for about a year now. My derm gave me the spiro. I was not sure I really needed it, but I started taking it. First few weeks, smooth sailing. Then, BAM, worst break out of my entire life. My skin was red, irritated, bumpy and dry. My acne has become hard and cystic. I knew that there would be a 'purging phase' so I tried to have patience. I was on it for about two months, but I'm fed up. This drug has given me hyperpigmentation I will have to deal with for months. Only reason I didn't give this drug a 1 is because it did decrease my oil production a bit. Not worth it. I will be starting Accutane soon."


"I loved this birth control at first , but after having it for about 2 years now . I have had nothing but a terrible experience . I have had TERRIBLE mood swings and TERRIBLE acne ! I will feel completely fine one minute , the next I am ready to fight someone or start an argument . I thought I was going crazy until reading other reviews ! DON'T RECOMMEND IT . But it does protect from pregnancy ."


"I've been taking this for about 5 years and it has helped with stress and depression, though more so for stress. I started taking Wellbutrin about 8 months ago as well due to depression getting worse, and the combination has helped tremendously. I have had "brain zaps" when I haven't taken my morning dose by about noon the following day, and have been out for a few days so they were even worse, but I feel the benefits outweigh that. While one side effect can be constipation, venlafaxine has actually helped as I used to have the opposite problem. Overall I think both mess are great."


"I have been on Duragesic Patches for the past 12 years and they work well for me.  Because I have been on them so long my dose is high and they are very expensive but thankfully we have insurance.  If you take the brand name Duragesic Patches you can call the company and have overlay patches sent free, that help keep the patches on much better. I change my patches every two days. It is a very expensive medicine but definitely a live saver."


"From my childhood when I was in standard 10, one day I felt my head very hard like someone push my head and suddenly my heartbeat gain, tightness in chest, vertigo, gas, suddenly I went to doctor and gave me injection of acidity. Day by day everyday I had felt these type of symptoms. My all reports were normal. CT scan was normal. No one doctor found what was going on with me and till 6 years ago I suffered a lot within these symptoms. After suffering too much I consulted psychiatrist, finally they described my disease as (Panic anxiety Disorder). They gave me clonezapam 0.5mg twice daily and magic begun. I came back to my life. "


"I have severe spasticity and this medicine really helps my muscles to relax.  I only take 20 mg a day however if I do need to take an additional pill for the "bad days" I don't suffer any additional side effects...only a bit more sleepier by the end of the day."


"I've been a "high functioning" depressed/anxious person for 10+ years now. After college the depression eased up but the tremendous guilt and the irritability/anger remained. Then the anxiety started to wreck havoc on my professional life. I felt I could do nothing right; thought about quitting my job; I was self-harming. One week I was so anxious I only slept 3-4 hours each night. I went to my PCP and asked for an SSRI; she put me on Zoloft. 12.5mg for first 3 days, then 25mg for 2 weeks, then I upped it to 37.5mg and then 50mg. It's changed my life. So many fears and guilt have significantly lessened. I feel like I can cope with life again. I had all the side-effects for the first 2 weeks, but it was worth it! Now I feel so much better!"


"I started this medicine last month.  At first i lost a few pounds. However, the headache was incredibly bad.  By Week 2 I was wondering if I should continue. I read some reviews on here and everyone said to keep going until day 14, so I pushed through. By day 14, I had gained 7 pounds and my entire body ached as well as my head still hurting.  My mind felt fuzzy and I, overall, felt horrible.  I decided to stop taking the medicine.   Good luck to everyone taking the pill. It was not for me. :("


"Same here i just started using it today as soon as I inserted the cream it felt so bad, burning and itching like crazy. I think its doing its job ....lets hope it cures it :)"


"This is a very good medication, relieves anxiety without sedation, so for me helps depression as well, without the unwanted side effects and is not habit forming.
The only side effects I experience are positive, increased sex drive, concentration, mental clarity, etc."


"I find Abilify to be the only thing that stops the depression side of my bipolar. Every time I try to stop it, after a couple of weeks I end up depressed again, being back on it for one week and depression goes.. Have no side effects such as weight gain/loss, sleeplessness or sleepiness so feel lucky after reading through some of the comments here. Its helped me regain control over my life."


"My 14-year-old son suffers from major depressive disorder/social anxiety disorder. He was previously on lexapro for 10 months, which worked well for his symptoms but gradually stopped working. He was switched to Zoloft and increased from 25 mg to 50 mg after a week. Only 3 days into the  50 mg dose he reports much improvement in his depression symptoms. It doesnt control his anxiety symptoms as well (yet) but we are hoping that will change in the next few weeks. Overall, he feels better on Zoloft. Takes it in the evening due to initial side effect of headache."


"Everyone's different but I've found that for me that Cymbalta has worked wonders."


"This antibiotic is really helping. I had horrible chest pain, mucus, hard time breathing, fever, etc. I was diagnosed with pneumonia and sinusitis. I was given a 10 day course of 500mg of Levaquin. I am on day 7 and only a few side effects. Minor dizziness, headaches, MAJOR fatigue and feeling of being in a fog. Overall tolerable but I cannot wait to be done! I feel pretty much back to normal with only a tickling cough left. Also I should note that I sleep VERY well and my appetite has not been affected. I am pleased considering how sick I was and the fact that other antibiotics made me feel horrible in the past."


"Full blown blast crisis.  Had extreme joint and bone pain felt like sunburn while having your skin smacked and twisted.  Went to ER got diagnosed with leukemia got bone marrow test to confirm. Needed afforesis immediately took four days. Then needed transfusions then chemo which included cytoxin.  Great medicine got my counts down quick so remission came quick.  But because I was ph  also it took other expensive and research study trials to help me.  But once I was in remission they used high doses of Cytoxin with radiation and others to get me into complete remission. Then stem transplant."


"I suffered from Chronic Tension Headaches that occurred at least once a day, usually more, and lasted over an hour each, as a result of extremely tight neck /shoulder muscles. No amount of physio or chiropractor visits had helped and I was at a loss as it was genuinely ruining my personal and working life. I was prescribed amitriptyline by my GP due to its muscle relaxant capabilities and ever since then the headaches have been cut by nearly 90%, to the point where I now notice if I have one compared to before where I noticed if I didn't (!). If you suffer from the same, I would suggest talking to your doctor about their use for treating chronic headaches."


"I have been taking this medication for a week. The first day I did felt exhausted and slept my day away. So far I have managed to lose 4 pounds in seven days. The only side effect I have is dry mouth. I bought myself a refillable water bottle to carry with my at all times."


"Modafinil gave me no relief from my day time sleepiness at all the medicine gave me headaches & made me nauseous all day long. I stopped taking & tried to deal with living with narcolepsy without medicine but that only lead to more problems for me."


"Compazine is chemically similar to Thorazine...both of which can cause extreme and sometimes dangerous reactions the in people who have risk of serotonin syndrome or sensitivities. I personally experienced rage reactions to Compazine when it was used to treat nausea from migraines. "


"I've been on Junel for about 17 months now. As far as it working on acne, it has lessened it but it is not completely gone. My periods prior to Junel were painful, full week long n extremely heavy. Today they are light enough to use a panty liner only, shorter and cramping has been brought down to an all time low. Overall I am happy with this pill, it made some changes and left my mood, weight, and bloating/fatigue during my periods exactly the same. Hope this helps!"


"Tried this gel for 1 night thinking it would have less side effects than in pill form.But I had a very bad experience. Within half an hour of using, my legs felt as if they were on fire mainly from my knees to feet.Got worse with aching,shooting pains up and down my legs.My head felt funny but no headache.All night I barely slept cos of the severity of the pain.The hotness did lessen,still had painful legs until mid morning,but it had spread to rest of body - a dull ache as if I had flu.Had slight blocked nose til morning as well.Felt slightly nauseous.Was itchy too all over.Felt spaced out.Suffered memory loss in day before all went away.Will not take again as am allergic to antibiotics so is probably just me.BV did feel bit better though."


"I started taking Amitiza 8mcg twice a day about a year ago. At first I didn't notice anything. I have really bad bloating issues due to slow motility in large intestines. He then increased my dosage to 24 mcg twice a day and that's when my bloating decreased. Im able to eat foods I couldn't eat before. It does give me diarrhea badly at times but it doesn't bother me. I would give it a 10 but I still feel like there is something in my low intestines. Like it's not completely moving everything  out of me. If I don't take it for a few days I do notice the bloating get worse. I definitely feel a whole lot better taking it than if I don't."


"This medicine has been generally been quite effective in controlling my seizures, once I controlled for other factors like sleep, caffeine, etc.  I gained 10% or so of my body weight in the winter, but I'm pretty confident if I work harder I can reverse that (by more regular workouts and more careful fat and especially carb intake).  "


"Before taking sronyx I used to take loestrin 24 fe and I had no problems with that I enjoyed it ..my doctor prescribed me sronyx recently and as soon as I took this bc I gained about 5 lbs the first month even though I exercise for almost 2 hours 4-5 times a week and my appetite has increased ...I have never felt so hungry to the point where i feel like I'm going to snap! My stomach growls also from so much hunger even though I ate 1-2 hours before!! This pill made me so irritable and angry at everyone around me ! I hate this pill , I am switching !"


"I'm a 30 year old woman. I got the shot on August 9th. I have been bleeding since. I decided not to continue. Yes it's effective at making sure you don't get pregnant because you can't have sex. It's a double edged sword. My face has broken out and I have a very good eating regime and my weight is up and down, mostly up."


"At the beginning, Kariva seemed to be working well, my skin started to clear up, lighter periods, and emotional stabilization. However, once I started my second pack, my emotional state felt off. I didn't realize that it could be the pill I was taking, so I continued to use it. I felt very depressed, and sad, and on the verge of crying most times. Once I told my doctor, I changed to Blisovi 24 Fe and my emotional state began to change in a positive way!"


"I was diagnosed with depression/ anxiety after I failed several add medications due to severe constipation.  Recently, l learned about taking probiotics for constipation and tried Strattera again.  Wow, what a difference.  I am much more emotionally stable/focused than I have ever been.  Anxiety disappeared.  Depression is almost unnoticeable.  I'm on Pristiq 50mg for depression/anxiety and two days ago, I upped my dose of Strattera to 60mg.  I was at 40mg for 30 days and I was much more stable emotionally, better focused & functional.  So far, at 60mg, I'm fully focused and no longer feeling slightly tired.  Side effects wise, slow urination is almost gone.  Sexual side effects are moderate and dry mouth is slight. Give it time to work!!!"


"DON'T USE IT! The risk outweighs the benefit by far. Product caused chemical burn, the entire first layer of skin in my vagina was burnt. I was on fire for 3 days, once I thought I was better and resumed intercourse the skin was not healed and the friction put me on fire once again. The skin takes a long time to grow back and after many failed attempts at intercourse due to the pain I now have vaginismus. This product caused me a medical condition that now interferes with my ability to successfully conceive. I will now have to do therapy in order to be able to have intercourse with my husband. I know my case is extreme but Please don't put yourself at risk!!! Not worth it. Wait for the doctor to prescribe"


"Was prescribed analpram on day 6 of hemorhoids. Finally by day 8 they started to shrink. This stuff is great. "


"I suffer from Bipolar disorder and found that this drug works wonders. If I may say, this is the wonder drug they say that doesn't exist. Now, I would usually complain how I went from x stone to y stone, but I'm drastically slim, so it's done me well to gain 60 pounds.

This medicine helps controls Psychotic disorders by allowing you that extra few seconds to respond, whereas before you would just react without thinking. It is known as a major sedative because, well, it slows you down. This drug is usually used in conjunction of Antidepressant medications, and mood stabilizers.

I suggest this drug, don't listen to the annoyed people who are now 20 pounds heavier. There is nothing to complain about if it helps, then it's worth every pound"


"I have been taking it for 2 years but feel very tired and need many times to nap in mod afternoon
Vision has become blurry especially in the mornings after taking the pill
Can anybody tell me if this pill should be in the morning ?
Stool has softened but is is not the problem

I am very worried specially after reading these reviews ....perhaps I should seek alternate options"


"This is the best medicine for sleep and having no manic problems. But I was 98 pounds (super tiny) now 203lb from risperdal. What is the point of being on something if it works for biploar but makes you obese?"


"I have been on Xanax for about 30 years now. I have suffered with anxiety since I was a child and depression later in life. I started out only taking 0.5 mg a day, even going for periods of time without taking it at all, and then over the past 15 years I have graduated to only 1.5 mg a day. I feel no need for an increase. I suffer with all the usual anxiety symptoms, but one symptom that is most annoying is the choking sensation I feel in my throat. I believe I carry my stress and worries there. When I take Xanax, it takes this terrible feeling away. I find it extremely difficult to get a doctor to prescribe me this medicine as I moved to another state. The people who abuse this drug make it extremely difficult for those of us who need it."


"I have had mild/moderate acne ever since I was 12. I've tried countless over the counter products, but decided to see a dermotoligist for real results. She put me on epiduo at 14 which worked slightly but being in the sun for a short amount of time gave me a rash on my face. I then went on once-daily cream(the cream is called once-daily) and it didn't help. My acne calmed down when I was 16, but came back just before my 17th. My doctor prescribed differen to me and I'm already getting results 2 weeks in. Only thing is I can't use it every day because it dries my skin out too much, but that's to be expected. Moisturiser is a must with this gel or your skin will flake! It really does help but, my skin tone is much nicer. Recommend it :)"


"I started having bad anxiety after I went back to work. I started on lexapro 5mg. I'm glad I stuck with it. Yes the side effects for the first 6 weeks were hell but after week 6 they ALL went away. I had every side effect too. But reading the reviews from people who said to stick it out it's worth it is what kept me going. After week 6 I went up to 10mg and was worried I was going to experience the side effects again. But nope no side effects. My anxiety is gone and I'm coming out of that black hole I was in. So please anyone reading this , yes stick with it! The start up side effects will go away. I had increased anxiety when I first started taking it but that too stopped. I am on the generic as well."


"Two nights ago woke up to awful itching So douches with iodine and it stopped helping so I bought the miconazole 3. As soon as I inserted the first one I got immediate relief from the very very intense burning and itching. So glad I bought."


"It didn't give me any issues and I have been switching pills for over 8 months because I would breakthrough bleed. I never had any side effects from this at all."


"Male: 21 years old, been through all the medications revolving around anxiety based anger and behavioural issues, i used to suffer brutal panic attacks, mood swings And couldn't stop shaking all the time, Zero motivation and constant paranoid behaviour.
My Oxazepam experience:
In
combination with CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy). I'm actually able to hold a job, go outside and talk to people, get tasks done without all of the withdrawal symptoms that I experienced with diazapam-  no physical painful withdrawal symptoms when stopping unlike other benzodiazepines. I use only when needed. 15mg on nights where I can't sleep or when naturally stressful situations arise such as funerals/money struggles. Respect it and it will respect you"


"I was prescribed this for GERD caused by gastroparesis. After 1 week I developed severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, gas and vomiting. I also felt short of breath, anxious and dizzy. I stopped this medicine and will never take again. I would not recommend this medicine to anyone ever. Wish I could give it a 0."

"Great pill... You can definitely see it working. Recommend to anyone trying to lose weight."


"I have been taking Savella for a year now for my fibromyalgia. I was weaned off Cymbalta and on to Savella. The first month or so when starting on Savella I had extreme nausea, but when it passed it was worth it. It worked really well on my fibro symptoms and allowed me to be somewhat active again (gardening, swimming, chasing my young children). About 6 months into taking Savella I started having dizziness and heart palpitations that caused me to suddenly feel like I was going to pass out and then I would vomit. My doctor lessened my 100mg dosage to 50mg and the episodes stopped, but my fibro symptoms slowly started coming back. So then I went up to 75mg to treat the symptoms. Now, after being on it for a year it has stopped working."


"I was on Byetta for 5 years and switched to Bydureon. Been on Bydureon for almost 1 1/2 years. I usually have some difficulty eating the first day of my shot. I get a funny taste in my mouth and no appetite. I eat so my sugar does not drop too much. I have maintained my weight to about 125 and feel great. Most people don't think I'm diabetic. Walking everyday helps so much. And yes, I do get a lump from the injection. Just make sure you are not injecting into the same area. I alternate each side of my stomach. My Endocrinologist had me put my hand over my belly button and he said I should be injecting on either side. It helped give me a reference since I was doing it too close to the belly button. Also I shake the medicine for about 4 minutes."


"Ever since I've been taking this I wake up throwing up in the middle of the night- yuck!!"


"Well I got my skyla IUD put in yesterday I cramped the whole day I was bleeding for about 2 hours when I got it in it didn't hurt "


"So I started this birth control a little under 2 months ago. I'm 18 years old and was previously on Generess Fe until my insurance didn't cover it anymore. I've noticed my boobs have started to grow more which is a plus. But I am nauseous all the time. Like I feel disgustingly sick. Also I have insane sugar cravings and really bad mood swings. I haven't had a period on this yet most likely because my body is still adjusting. This birth control is effective considering I'm not pregnant! I'm gonna stick with this for a while longer and see if the nausea has calmed down or gone away."


"The first few months were fine. No serious side effects.  Obviously I did not get pregnant, so it was effective in that way. The side effects after maybe 6 months or so were terrible. Bleeding for 2 1/2+ weeks out of the month, weight gain (about 30 pounds,) irritable. I dealed with it because I had the mindset, "it's better this than getting pregnant so early." After about a year and three months, I'm bleeding for 3 weeks out of the month. I'm switching to Loestrin 1/20. More estrogen for me."


"I had underlying anxiety - constantly wanting to hide in bed - random crying - high intensity job - mind wouldn't shut off. Told doctor - she said this had helped many clients - by my 2nd day on 1/4 of the largest pill size -  I felt at ease and pretty carefree. My life is 75% easier to take and I'm able to get through life with a smile. Very happy. "


"When reading reviews for this birth control I was a bit taken back from all of the negative comments and side effects that some women were having. I decided to just go ahead and give it a try, because yes it causes different women different symptoms. I haven't had a single complaint from this birth control. I have actually lost all of my usual food craving, which has caused me to lose a couple pounds, (which I needed). It hasn't caused me to have random mood swings or irregular bleeding either. I say to all of the women looking at these reviews, I say go ahead and give it a try because it does work different for everyone! You never know until you try."


"Everyone is different how they react to meds . But omg this medicine is the worst for me I tried it over a year ago lasted three days because I just got so sick . Well then I months later I said I'll try it again maybe I just got the flue or soemthing at the same time of taking it the first time well I last 5 days on the lowest dose and again sick as hell this medicine made me feel like so much worse like I was in a panic attack 24/7 .

Headache , stomach issues , feeling out of my body , I just don't get it how they say you need go threw the side affects to get better like there's no way they can expect you to stick with something that's making you 20 times worse like sure I little unpleasant but this is over board  how it made me feel .:("


"I am a 57 year old male with fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed 22 years ago. I suffered with it for several years prior, Drs Were reluctant To diagnose, because it is a difficult diagnosis and rarely affects males. The symptoms were nearly debilitating. Treatment recommended at the time was elavil and lots of rest. Had some relief from Chiropractic, acupuncture, also from b12 and magnesium chloride injections. All relief was quite temporary.After suffering for several years, another Dr started me on the Guai Protocol. He did his research and knew the best results come from true slow release Guaifenesin only available from a compounding RX. I take 3000 mg per day with few side effects. With Mucinex, relif ia far less constant & long lasting."


"Have been using Jublia as directed for 6 months with no change! This medication does not work! Total waste of money!"


"Use this for chronic cluster headache.  Only medication that provides lessening of severe head pain.  Not enough research has been done with the use of Vicodin ES for chronic cluster headache pain.  "


"Helps overall but leaves me with a terrible hung-over type grogginess until mid-afternoon the next day. Doctor said it should go away after a week but no luck - still had the next day druggy haze feeling even after 3 weeks on it.  I do still use it occasionally for bad shoulder or back spasms but not everyday for my fibromyalgia anymore."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"I was so very scared of this prep. I was supposed to do my colonoscopy months ago but was first prescribed a gallon jug of crap you mix with lemonade. That suff was so bad I couldn't swallow a sip! Tasted like salty lemonade,very gross. My Dr then sent me to a private Drs office. The office gave me a sample (was enough meds for the prep) of Preponik,cranberry flavor. I had anxiety over taking this med. I took first dose in one gulp,it wasn't good but was not horrible! I freaked myself out for nothing. It cleared me out and didn't give bad side effects. Don't be afraid of this,it's the easiest option I've been given and it worked!!"


"I had the Implanon for 13 months.  I went from a size 2 to a size 9.

I worked out 6 days a week and lived on salad, shakes, chicken, fish and brown rice for about 90 days.  I even gave up wine and beer with dinner.  I started going up a pound a week.  My breast hurt as bad as they did when I was pregnant and I lost my sex drive. I have had it out for a few weeks.  I haven't really worked out or eaten too healthy. My weight started to drop the second my first period started.  Around the same time my sex drive returned.

All I can say is that everyone that did not gain wait on it is very lucky."
