"so i posted a few days ago talking about i promised my self i would write a review. blah blah.. well i just want to update on my experience. that day i got my "period" but i only bled a bit , and then it stopped for 3 days . and yesterday i got it again but this time its EXTREMELY HEAVY blood. another side effect i got was that my breast hurt so much. the side effects are horrible. my period is extremely heavy , but its better than having a baby . just wanted to state my side effects for girls out there reading this."


"When I first went on methadone for opiate withdrawal I was skeptical but sure enough I suffered NO withdrawal symptoms. I would have rated it a ten instead of a 9 but I DID kind of crave opiates for the first month I was on it."


"I've gone through deepshit, to the wall depression - had ECT et al while on meds. Went off and have NOOOO regrets b/c I finally started having feelings again (after 25 years on meds).... But I went through deep retaliation at work for speaking out against a bully, and the PTSD from that became deeply real only after two lawsuits were settled and every state/federal complaint was successfully settled. I won... but the PTSD won even more. And ya think you can find a shrink who looks at alternatives to antidepressants? HA! My only salvation came in the form of my doctor, an internist, who suggested I go to ER b/c of thyroid stuff.  While 5 days on a med/surg unit was not free from shit... I got connected with a shrink who prescribed THIS."


"Linzess works great for me. If you are going too much when you take it once a day, cut back by taking it every other day and that should help the diarrhea too. If you are still having too much diarrhea, take it every third day.  I would be glad I wasn't constipated any more!!!! Not going is worse than diarrhea any day. Hopes this info helps. "

"Took first dose of Suprep last night at 6:00 p.m. Had only one movement and was wondering what was up after reading all the reviews for spending hours on the toilet. Went to bed and slept pretty well. Fast forward to 5:00 a.m. this morning. Took second dose as instructed, and took a few of the previous tips such as sipping slowly (last night I almost threw it up after drinking too fast), sipping water and Berry Propel between the solution swigs. Wow, it took only about 30 minutes and wow, I have been on the toilet for the past hour. This stuff really works! I am remembering to use the petroleum jelly for the bum so as not to chafe. I am getting chills this morning, unlike last night. I hope the colonoscopy goes well this morning so I won’t have to think about this again for 5-10 years!"


"I got my first implanon in Jan 2012 because I wanted an effective long term birth control that I didn't have to remember to take. The initial 3 years left me with a great experience of regular periods & no side effects. It was perfect for me & with no wants to have children at this stage in Jan 2015 I had another inserted. Almost instantly my periods became heavy & irregular. I went back to the doctors weeks later & was assured it was the same contraceptive as before & just a side effect. I bled for another 3 weeks, went back & was prescribed a month of the pill Zoelly which stopped my period. To follow I had 6 months of irregular bleeds with the final straw being a heavy period lasting 3 months. Had it removed & now on the pill Levlen."


"I wanted to love Mirena, but that was not the case and don't understand why doctors aren't honest about the side effects. I went on Mirena and was very happy since I never got a period, however Im very careful about my figure and knew that there were "rumors" (since my doctor said this was not true) relating  Mirena to weight gain. From the moment I had it inserted I watched what I ate and stuck to a 1300 calorie diet, working out 5 days a week... I still gained 10 pounds in the course of 3 months! I can't imagine what I would of gained had I not been watching what I ate and working out. I just had mine removed, hoping to go back to normal and cursing the day I decided to put that thing in my body!"


"Started April 2012. I love how I never have to worry about it. I am a bit scared when I eventually have to pass the two year mark though.

I hated for the first 6 months I had spotting/very heavy periods. It would go spotting for 3-6 weeks and a very heavy crampy 7-14 day long period. After the 6 months I have gotten my period twice. I love it.

Even though I rarely get my period, sometimes I get emotional mood swings. Drastically different than before. Sometimes I would freak out about the smallest things and cry, yell and then cry again. Sometimes it takes me a couple hours over it, sometimes a couple days."


"I'm 13 and acne has always been a problem for me, I've been bullied and felt self conscious for years, I tried everything from duac to pills but nothing has worked, but then I tried epiduo, I have really seen an improvement on my spots and I feel almost happy with myself. The only problem there is which doesn't make this product a 10 would be how dry it makes your skin feel, yes it takes the oil off but it makes your face feel so dry almost stiff, also if you get it too close under your eyes it burns like a sunburn which isn't good. Overall I recommend this product!"


"I took for a constant, deep barking cough.  I worked quickly and well, calming my cough and allowing me to get sleep.  However, it makes me incredibly drowsy - way worse then unisom.  There was also bit of dizziness.  I did not have any gastrointestinal side effects.  I will use it again but only at night since it knocks me out"


"I love this birth control! I've been on it for about 2 months. The first month was rough. I was very gassy, moody, my boobs were so tender (still kinda are) and I spotted for a week then a heavy painful period for another week. However it was so worth how great it's been since getting past that first month! My face is clearer, my hormones are in check, my boobs are bigger but I haven't gained weight anywhere else, and I'm not pregnant! (And I don't use condoms) would definitely suggest it"


"Took for Blasyocystis (parasite infection) and Candida. after 24 hours my tongue was no longer white. I had some abdominal pain at the beginning. Also nausea that did not resolve."


"wow!!! what a difference!!!"


"I am a former U.S. Army Ranger and in so am relatively used to pain. In 2002 I received a severe back trauma that left me in bed and broken willed. I was prescribed a moderately large pharmacy as the standard V.A. treatment plan. After three years of dealing with taking enough pills a day I started to review my life. I believe this was depression or rather self pity. So I came up with an idea, what would I be on if I was in the civilian sector being treated. After a lot of research my doctor and I came to methadone. Since starting I have been able to re-write my life. I am out rock climbing, biking, kayaking and so on. I don't even want bed to sleep. Thank you methadone you gave me my life back."


"I had breast augmentation and was prescribed this. It took the pain away, and made me energetic and productive, but it also gave me appetite loss and gave me frequent upset stomachs. If I took it close to bedtime, it would keep me up at night. I frequently would get dizzy and lightheaded. I liked it for the initial energy."


"Have had constipation for years and years.  Over the counter medicines were not reliable or caused pain.  Did my own research and found MO.   What a thrill.  Inexpensive, reliable, no side effects.
After using it for awhile I stopped and found I didnt need it. Now after a very holiday season of eating and drinking I find I'm constipated  so I'm back on magnesium for awhile to reset my system."


"The most horrible drug I ever took.. Went to the bathroom nonstop, food allergies, difficulty swallowing, severe headache,  fatigue, muscle aches anxiety, ibs bloating, weight loss such a terrible expierenced.."


"PLEASE DONT GET THIS IMPLANT!!! I got it because I’m a very forgetful person and I figured it’d be much easier and less maintenance than the pill. Boy was I wrong. Although I didn’t gain weight or break out, I was constantly cramping and PMSing. I had my period for 9 months. I would have a period that would last anywhere from a month to a month and a half and then about 3 days of no bleeding but a yeast infection. Those 9 months were hell and they took a serious toll on my long term relationship. I was bleeding heavily to the point where I was clotting and I couldn’t tell if I was spotting or if it was my period. I’m now on Junel but still have the implant in my arm. Please don’t make my mistake. Don’t get this implant."


"I've had my implanon in for 3 years, and I am getting it removed next Wednesday. I didn't get pregnant the past 3 years, so it did its job. I did however gain 50 lbs in the first 3 months of having it and have kept the weight on this whole time, hopefully after its removal I will be able to lose some weight. I've also had more headaches since the implant, (3-4 a week) but I haven't had a period or any random bleeding these past 3 years."


"Stomach pains and bad taste. Drink plenty of water it helps the taste and stomach. I've had different reactions with Biaxin. Don't drink caffeine and take it. It will keep you awake and don't lay down in bed for 1 hour after taking. This all seems to help keep stimulation down so you can sleep."


"It shrunk my lung tumor by 40% in one month in lung , but the bone Mets progress slowly."


"We are about to celebrate our 39th anniversary next month and we just used it for the first time today.  After three hours we gave out, but the medication was still working."


"This medication has been a life saver for me.  After the initial side effects of tingling hands and feet, funny tasting carbonated drinks, loss of words, which lasted only a couple of weeks and a massive weight loss of 30kg (60lb approximately) everything settled down nicely.

I have been taking Topamax for over two years now with no problems whatsoever and in those two years have only had one migraine that was not nearly as bad as what I used to experience.

For me, this is the best medicine I've ever been prescribed."


"I was prescribed this by my doctor as a fast acting release from anxiety attacks. It helped me come off all medications for my anxiety disorder, now I only take Niravam when I'm having a bad anxiety attack, which is now very rare!"


Todays Health Nasal  Relief Extra Moisturizing

"This medicine is great your nose clears up within seconds of using."


"This helped with my shoulder pain."


"Hi everyone,   in 2011 I was diagnosed with stage 3A invasive ductal breast cancer - I went through chemo for 4 months and had double mastectomy in March 2012 - followed by 6 weeks of radiation.  I was put on tamoxifen for a year and then femara which I currently take now. The biggest thing with femara is being like I am constantly tired and "foggy" - I can handle the hot flashes ( we live in Minnesota - where the winter lasts for 6 months) - I just walk around outside with a t shirt on and I'm good to go!  Lately, I have been experiencing hair loss and I don't know if its due to the femara?  Anyone else have this problem?  Please let me know.  Hang in there beautiful ladies (& men)"


"I had a monkey on my back and the circus was in town, until I found Suboxone.  It has really helped me and I am getting better every day.  It is a long road but Suboxone makes it a little easier to walk.  Thank you so much for giving me my life back."


"I am 46 years old and remember being 5 years old with something just not right in my head. In my late teens I was really suicidal! I had counseling for seven years and tried a couple of different medications. I felt good, but had side effects that made me quit taking them. Two weeks ago I had a severe bout with depression, that affected me and the ones closest to me. I had been trying to figure out what was wrong with me for forty years and could not find a answer. After opening up to family I found out nine of us were struggling with depression. My nephew told me to try Celexa because it had changed his life for the better. I now have been on it for one week and am beginning to get my life back!"


"I took Requip for Restless Legs Syndrome about 2 years ago.  To this day I don't know what precipitated the condition but I was completely satisfied with Requip.  It is noteworthy, however, I only had to take it a dozen times in 2 years.  If it were a chronic condition, I don't know if it would have been effective.  Best of luck.
"


"Thought I'd share my experience. I decided I had enough of the Depo shot gained 10lbs on it. It was my 2nd day of my period the day I got my Nexplanon inserted...only thing that hurt was the numbing shot. My arm is still tender but its getting better, my bruise is finally starting to lighten up. I've had no bleeding in fact my period went away within an hour of insertion. My breasts have actually filled out more. I have no appetite now and I've already lost 3lbs. No mood swings whatsoever...so far so good."


"This is one of the few drugs that actually work for me. If you're attentive it's unlikely you'll run into trouble. If it improves life, it's worth it. We get into 2-ton things of steel and drive them around on the freeway super fast every day. Much riskier than taking parnate. I got off for a while and friends and family all insisted I stop trying new meds and remain on parnate for good. No side effects. Easy to quit for a minute when dental work and surgeries come up. Some times it feels like the market buries the best meds for some reason. Weird."


"Have been using Pennsaid for over eight years but strictly on an as needed basis (2-3) times a week. Very effective for knees and hips (almost instant relief). Only side effect is an occasional oral off taste."


"Took only one tablet (directions said to take 2) at 9pm after being constipated and miserable for a week.  Two hours later I was doubled over with the most agonizingly painful stomach cramps I have ever experienced. Was on the toilet for 3 hours without any bowel movement, literally screaming from the pain.  I honestly thought I was going to have to call 911.

Finally had explosive diarrhea for the next hour.  Slept on the bathroom floor and had intermittent diarrhea all night.  I would rather be constipated for a month than go through that again.  Second worst pain I've ever experienced (first worst was a second degree sunburn on my feet and legs)."


"I developed Irritable Bowel Syndrome-C and chronic constipation after a C-section. I now take Amitiza 24mcg 2x per day. I've been on it for about 10 months.  It works fantastic. I can "go" at least once a day now.  Amitiza draws fluid from your body to increase bowel movement (I can actually hear it working) so it is important to drink a lot of water and eat before or immediately after. I've noticed that if I don't drink a lot of water, nausea will develop. In addition, IBS-C has caused me to change my diet and exercise. That helped a lot too. NOTE-- If the prescription costs a lot, even with insurance, Amitiza offers a discount card online."


"My son has been receiving Kenalog for over a year now and we have no side effects so far and it has brought his asthma under control."


"This medicine is great. I have been using it for 2 months and my face is pretty much cleared.  I don't have to worry about having extremely oily skin anymore either.  I have experienced the nausea and vomited once, but that can be avoided if you take it immediately after a meal."


"Palladone is a very effective medicine for pain control. My wife has MS and severe back pain from early arthritis, and one pill a day controls it just fine. Without it she is in constant pain and can barely function. With it she can perform many necessary tasks such as bathing, etc. "


"I got it 3 months ago. The insertion was quick but very painful, after it was over I laid down for ten minutes and I was ready to go, some cramping but nothing an Advil can't fix. I did bleed heavily for the first 2 months during my period and spotting too, and cramping bad. Now on the 3rd month I am spotting a little bit and no heavy periods. No weight gain but I have been breaking out a lot, this is a huge concern because I have always had a clear face, I just purchased some acne creams, I'll see if that helps. Still, getting pimples beats getting pregnant for me. My sex drive has decreased so my partner has to work a little harder to get me going. Other than that I will be sticking to Mirena.  I am 29, no children."


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


"This birth control gave me cyst ance.. I never have had acne prone skin.. I was on this for one year, and I started feeling depressed and always tired. zero sex drive. No pregnancy scared and no weight gain tho! But I just switched to the ring and I feel like I am my old self again. I don't think i would take this again."


"I have been taking Tri-Sprintec for almost a year now and it has done wonders for my face. However, I do get 1 or 2 zits on my face whenever I'm supposed to start my period. The first 5 months I didn't have cramps, bloating, or heavy periods, but now they're all starting to come back. I switched to Sprintec for about two months and found no good use for it and then switched back. I think the only good thing about Tri-Sprintec is the fact that it keeps my face, back, and chest clear of zits."


"I started using this 2 weeks ago for rocacea pimples on my nose.  The bumps disappeared after the first couple of days but then came back worse then ever a few days later. i continued using the product to give it a chance but more bumps appeared.  I have stopped using it now and my rocacea has improved.  I do not recommend this product"


"No problem taking it whatsoever. Chilled in the refrigerator both the Suprep and water. Did not drink any liquids for 4 hours prior in anticipation of having to down 48 oz. of liquid in one hour. Tasted similar to black cherry. Was able to easily down the Suprep mixture in only a few minutes through a thick straw. Was also easy to down 32 oz of Gatorade within the hour. Second dose was no worse than the first dose. Started going to the can in less than an hour. No cramping. Will only use Suprep 5 years from now on next colonoscopy. If any doctor doesn't agree at that time for me to use it, I'll simply find another doctor that will. Now have it on record that it did adequate cleaning for me because I specifically asked my doctor if it did."


"I have always struggled with compulsive eating, and have yo-yo-ed up and down my whole life. I was a relatively normal weight when I was prescribed Vyvanse, not for binge-eating disorder, but ADHD. I felt AMAZING. I had incredible focus, tons of energy, and best of all, no appetite. For the first time in my life, I never thought about food and lost 30lbs plus. But it wore off earlier and earlier, so I was given bigger doses. Then the mania started. No sleep, my mind whirling all day, my behavior manic and crazy. I came off, and immediately gained 60lbs, turned into a zombie. The pharmaceutical stress this drug put on my body brought on tons of illnesses that are chronic and i now live with 6 years later. NOT WORTH IT. Disaster drug."


"I'm not sure about Fetzima's effectiveness as I'm on day four of treatment.  As for side effects, I noticed that I started sweating more on day 3 (40 MG), a lack of appetite, and some minor nausea.  Occasionally I'll get anxious, but I'm not sure if it's specific to the Fetzima or my general anxiety."


"I've always bought Afrin...But since they have added this lock cap for this new "snowflake" generaration ...I'm done with it ! Off to use adult drops !"


"I am taking this with metformin for over a week now. It took a few days to overcome the "sinus headache" effect. Other than that, controlling my sugar is less stressful with this med. added to my regimen of diet and exercise. (I was diagnosed about 3 months ago)."


"This medication seems to help the pain, but causes upset stomach and ringing in ears."


"I have been taking Linzess for constipation due to being on pain medication, because I have an internal/external bile duct drain that is exchanged monthly. The medication has worked well until today, and I am miserable. This is the first time this has happened."


"I have taken Glipizide and Glipizide XL in conjunction with metformin for a number of years with no side effects.  Anyone taking Glipizide (not XL) should be aware that blood sugar levels can plummet quickly and that dosage timing may need to be readjusted.  With Glipizide XL, I have not experienced these fluctuations; however, the positive control appears to take effect much slower as this is a time-released form."


"Lithium - well I didn't think I could be helped but lithium has done that.

I have slight dry lips and feel a little sick if I take on an empty stomach without having eaten all day.

I thought I'd be dead one day but now feel relaxed and happy and like I can live in the moment.

Since been on lithium:

 I have stopped drinking alcohol (uses to drink a bottle of wine a day )

Stopped smoking cigarettes

Stopped taking 2 anti depressants , sertraline and mirtazapine

I have lost 6 kg and walk 10km a day.

You may need to change some of your friends like me when you realise they're all alcoholics and coke addicts.

I feel calm and relaxed and lithium will change my life."


"I have pretty bad psoriasis. It was mild at first and I was prescribed Taclonex and Desonide which worked like a charm. I changed insurances and they didn't cover Taclonex so my psoriasis spread like wild fire. What is worse is I am getting married in less than a year and it is very noticeable on my arms. I finally got the insurnace company to grant me an exception so I have begun using Taclonex religiously! I hope it clears by my wedding."


"I have been on birth control since I was 10 because of chronic migraines. When I had it put in it stung for like 10 min then nothing. I have my period once a month from 3-5 days. Very light. No weight gain and it has helped me lose weight. I am not sleepy and I do not have my migraines anymore. Yay no hospital visits. It cost as much as regular pills for 3 years. The only difference is that you do not have to remember to take a pill daily. Everyone's body reacts different and mine likes the Nexplanon."


"Be careful. I was prescribed this at 20mg for my depression and ADHD last February. For the first few months it was a miracle. It took care of all my symptoms, and even obliterated my social anxiety. As the drug became less and less effective over the months though, I became more and more depressed and that's when the miracle pill suddenly became a burden. Doctor prescribed me 30mg, worked for two days, then nothing. Not to mention at that dose the crash was awful, some days I would cry over everything and wish I was dead thinking there was no point to life. That's where abuse came along. Some days I was taking up to 60mg just to feel normal (without doc's approval). Overdosed on 400mg and almost died. Be careful please, always think twice."


"I had serious acne that was causing scars on my face and after 6 or 7 months on Accutane (my doctor kept me on for an extra month). I must admit that my skin is SO MUCH BETTER! Although now that the acne is gone I see all the horrible scars left behind, I know that at least I am not getting anymore. I had minimal side effects (some chapped lips and dry skin) and I believe that a lot of the REALLY bad side-effects you read about might not even be caused by the medicine.

Now that I am off the medicine it continues to work! My chest, back and face all look 100% clearer then before. If you have bad acne GO ON ACCUTANE now. It's not worth the pain and suffering especially when there is a cure!"


"Bacterial Vaginitis is not uncommon, taking a daily probiotic with a high number of live bacteria (the beneficial bacteria in yogurt) greatly reduces the risks of getting bacterial vaginitis again. My boyfriend and I are very active, usually daily, and  like clockwork I was having to treat bacterial vaginitis every 5 weeks for nearly a year. Each time I was prescribed Metronidazole 500 mg twice daily for 7 days, each time by day 2 the odor is gone. The medication is great, the taste is terrible so I suggest putting the pill into the back of the throat onto a mouthful of already chewed, ready to swallow food without allowing the pill to touch any part of the mouth, it helps! Douching isn't recommended, rinse out in a bath."


"I have been taking this generic for several years. It worked great. Now my pharmacy uses a different manufacturer every time I refill. What a difference. With the Watson brand I'd rate this a 10. I'm currently on the Activis brand and I would rate this a 0. All symptoms back. I found a few of the other brand and took them and felt great but now I'm back to this most recent refill and it's awful. All I can say is although there is supposedly the same ingredients not all generics are equal."


"Requip has been a God send for me. As with any other medication it affects everyone differently. I take it only at bed time because that is the only time it affects me. I do recommend this medicine to all that I know that suffer from restless leg syndrome."


"Was perscribed this to cure my sinus infection. Took one pill and about an hour or so later broke out in hives ended up back in the ER."


"Hi all! Just wanted to give a review for my Copper IUD. I don't usually put reviews up for things but felt this was defo worth it!! I have had my IUD in for 2 months now and there have been pros and cons, but the pros defo rule out the cons. The pain was really bad upon insertion but totally worth it. Monthly period cramps so far are, I won't lie, really bad but that's also worth it as you can take aspirin and not feel a thing afterwards. All in all I feel it was the best choice because I don't have bleeding any other time then my period and no other cramps, so there's time for fun always with my love! I highly suggest to others who are considering a non-hormonal alternative.  :D"


"Ive struggled with headaches for as long as I can remember and nothing worked for me. When I found excedrin, I was hooked to the fact that it was the best. I've never use anything else since. I have introduced everyone I know to it and they always come to me, because they know I always got a bottle of excedrin with me. I just wanted to say Thank You. Your product has made headaches to me just a pain that soon go away when I take my excedrin."


"I just started taking it after I was finally diagnosed with endometriosis after suffering for many years with painful cramps. I took it on my first day. Today is my second and I don't have any cramps. Thank goodness I'm not in pain. I'm still bleeding heavy but no pain. We'll see if this continues to work."


"I was on Loestrin 24 for two years and just recently switched to Gianvi. I've almost finished my first pack and I feel so much better. My moods on Loestrin were terrible! I was always irritable and didn't have any motivation to do anything. Now that I've switched I'm not as irritable and I don't feel so tired. Also my skin has cleared up and looks amazing! No weight gain or change in appetite. I'm happy with the results and hopefully it'll stay this way!"


"After years of talk down therapy, I reached a breaking point. A Doc gave me Xanax and it was a miracle. I was able to go to stores and travel on airlines without Panic Attacks. I have been on Xanax since 1999, .25 Mg before bedtime. This has given me my life back. I do take more for long flights where I spend 12 to 24 hours inside the airline system. I started on .25 Mg daily and 10 years later still use the same amount. If I miss a dose more than a day, I get antsy, then clammy skin and finally unjustified panic attack on 3rd or 4th day. This is well expected and acceptable response to quitting abruptly. Doc has been up front about me using this or some other drug for the rest of my life. It is well worth it."


"Coming up on 2 months on this 100 mg twice a day. TAKE ON A FULL STOMACH. It makes me throw up if I haven't eaten food with it. My skin has progressively gotten worse. I don't think it is because of the Doxycycline, I think my body just wants to continue down the path of giving me acne. I am on it for moderate cystic acne and I am still getting cysts regularly and am now breaking out on my forehead where as before it was just on the jawline. Not sure when this is suppose to work but I look pretty darn bad. Will finish the treatment and hope for the best :("


"My doctor gave this to me for my brochitis, it seems to be working fairly well.  The only thing is it seems to be making me really sleeping.  I have done extensive research on this drug and can't find this as a possible side effect."


"I've had a very difficult time with it, I suppose it's working well but the side effects are very severe. I am unable to function, the depression is unbearable and the nausea and confusion render me useless.

Every time I have to take the pill I break down in tears. I haven't taken it in weeks, I'd prefer dying."


"I am diagnosed as having bipolar disorder 1 and for 13 years been suffering and have difficulty sleeping. If I did sleep I dozed for more than 12 hours and have no energy after my psych doc changed my antidepressant from Surmontil to fluoxetine. I just notice its immediate effects after 5 days. I have energy, my sleep was good. My thoughts are clear, I just hope that this effects would last as this medicine puts a smile on my face as having more motivation and being positive."


"I am honestly not sure how to rate this medication but I can relate my experience so far.  I have had no nausea, it does help me sleep better.  I was given the medication for bipolar.  I have been emotionally shut down for a long time and after 3 days it has opened up my emotions and I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.  In February my husband died of an accidental cocaine overdose.  The only emotion I have felt since he died is anger.  Now I feel over whelmed with grief and I am just not sure how to deal with that."


"When I read all of these reviews, on every page, I couldn't find one that was someone's experience with plan B while on the birth control pill. So I'll leave mine. I missed one pill the week I had intercourse but I had also missed so many pills last month I wanted to be safe. My doctor advised me to continue taking my birth control while taking the plan B. I had no side effects at all. My cycle came 3 days late and it was a bad one. It started with a day of light spotting. It was very heavy compared to most."


"Generic now available =CHEAP! This stuff is AMAZING!
When I'm exposed to an allergen, perfume or pollen, etc., Patanase can squash it within seconds and keeps me from getting sick.  It's a miracle! Since it's a nasal spray applied intranasal, it works extremely fast. While not marketed as a decongestant or specifically marketed for vasomotor rhinitis (non-allergic rhinitis), it works amazingly on both aspects! They should label it as a decongestant (it works better than pseudoephedrine & phenylephrine put together). I'd say it's as good if not better than Afrin (and doesn't come with the rebound congestion/potential addiction).  Hold you head chin to chest looking down while you spray to keep it from going into your throat."


"Been on Nardil for almost 20 years. Works well. I had severe panic attacks and couldn't even go out of the house. It can be annoying when you have a cold or flu but at least don't  get depressed about it. Lol. Good thing the psychiatrist gave me that first so I didn't have to try others. I tell others about it so they can get their severe anxiety helped."


"Honestly I LOVE this birth control! I am very sensitive to birth control and this is the first one that has helped me. First off for anyone who doesn't have insurance GO TO THE WEBSITE! There is a discount card there that you can sign up for that works for 12 scripts. My monthly script is $30 now. First off my periods were AWFUL. I had cramps so bad. This has increased my breast size by a cup, cleared up my acne, haven't gained any weight (I am a very healthy eater although) my periods are light maybe lasting 3 days my cramps are very mild if any (Aleve liquid gels are the best). Be sure you take this at the SAME TIME everyday! Stay safe and healthy!"


"I'm so glad I read these postings. I was admitted to ER After a five day migraine. I was given this medicine through an IV. It took about 45-hour to feel relief. It took my pain level from a 10 to a 4. However the first 20 minutes I felt very restless suddenly and I want to be out of the hospital, I was uncomfortable and I wanted to rip the IV out of my arm. I was paranoid waiting for my boyfriend to come back from the restroom. I couldn't explain the feeling but after reading the other posts I see it was a similar experience and side effect to the other posters."


"When I was on this, I was pretty moody and I had no appetite for anything. I always get so angry and sad. Another thing was I always get nausea and I wouldn't eat anything. I lost a lot of weight on this. I was on it for a month and I lost about 8lbs. I am now on Tri-Nessa and so far its okay."


"I was on this pill for about a year. It shortened my periods from seven days to four days. My breasts did not grow, however, I messed up the cycle and cysts formed in both of my breasts, making them tender. I gained ten pounds and then lost about seven. I was constantly hungry! It definitely helped my PMS, but I did experience many mood swings besides that. My skin cleared up a tad bit."


"I'm young and inexperienced w/ sex so when we decided to not use a condom I thought it might be worth it since I knew about Plan B. Let me tell you guys, don't plan on Plan B instead of condoms or other forms of birth control. I thought it was a good option (and spoiler alert: it worked!!) but I really regret relying on it. I waited about 20 hours to take it & the next night I realized the day we had sex was my most fertile day (my ovulation day). Then I read a bunch of articles online about Plan B being ineffective if taken during ovulation & I had A LOT of pregnancy symptoms: bad cramps, tender breasts, bloating, dizziness. I got my period 5 days earlier than scheduled after freaking myself out and feeling like absolute crap. Never again."


"I stopped taking depo because of the depression and lack of sex drive it was causing me. I had the spotting in the beginning for about 3 months and after the second shot I felt dizzy all the time. I'm in the process of getting it out of my system and it's an absolute nightmare. Since skipping my last shot I've had heaving spotting and headaches almost every day. I can't sleep through the night at all and I've been having an increase in nightmares that I'm certain is related to the birth control. My dreams were never this bad before. My hair also started thinning badly and I had to cut about a foot of it off. I loved my long hair. DO NOT get this shot. The side effects are not worth the risk."


"NuvaRing is great for me! I had no side effects, my partner doesn't feel it during sex, it never fell out and I feel much safer with it. You put it in and forget about it for 3 weeks!

I was on oral pills before and they were very strong on me. I had less sex drive, but absolutely no acne. Now, with a lower hormone dose from NuvaRing, I have more acne, but also more sex drive and I will more comfortable."


"I started taking Adipex in June of 2007 and stopped taking it in April 2008. I lost 55lbs with it but I quit cold turkey in May on 2008 and since then I have gained most of my weight back. When I went to talk to my doctor about getting back on it he told me not to stop taking it all at once but to lower my dosage slowly. That's why I gained most of my weight back. He put me back on it 3 days ago and I have already lost 5 lbs. So I do recommend Adipex to anyone. Just make sure your doctor does approve it because it can speed your heart rate up and give you lots of energy. It is great."


"I took fluoxetine for chronic depression and anxiety. At 10mg, just had a little dry mouth. At 20mg, it began to work amazingly on my mood. I had experienced a major emotional, life-changing event just a few days prior, but after taking 20mg for a few days, I felt great. I didn't realize how wonderful I could feel after 5  years of recurring depression and anxiety. Eventually, the side effects just got to be too much though. The most obvious one was the awful insomnia. I woke up in the middle of the night and could not get back to sleep every single night within a week of upping the dose. It affected me so much I had to take a sleep medicine. After a few weeks, I started to have vivid dreams and had trouble differentiating them from reality."


"I was prescribed Aldara for internal gw. When I finally found a doctor to acknowledge that they existed internally, they were bad. They almost looked like fingers. I say this to make the point that I had a serious case of them. I was put on Aldara for three times a week until 16 weeks. This was the most painful experience I have ever had in my life. I cried in pain for the first several weeks. The itching was almost unbearable in and of itself. I also got very severe ulcers around the treatment sight. I found it helpful to take an allergy pill for the itching and melatonin to help me to sleep with the pain. All that being said, after 16 weeks my gw problem was 90 percent gone.I was given another month's worth for the last remaining few."


"I have had acne since puberty. I haven't ever given much thought to going to a derm because acne is just "a part of growing up". Well 23 now and I didn't really see it leaving my face anytime soon. Doc gave me 0.025% once a day at night. I use a simple CeraVe foaming wash 2x daily (once in morning, once in evening). At night after I wash my face I use a CeraVe night moisturizer  and I wait about 20-30 mins for my face to totally dry before applying my "pea sized" amount of trentinoin to my entire face. I would not describe my breakouts as bad. Probably a 6. But it's always there. It's never left me. I am on my second week so far. No noticeable changes so far. Nothing positive or negative to report. I will keep updating."


"I was prescribed Celexa a week ago. At first I had trouble sleeping, and horrible headaches and very tired during the day but now I'm starting to sleep better and not be as tired during the day. I also find myself not being as stressed out. I hope to see more results."


"I had the Implanon for six months and had it removed today. Wasn't for me. I had no sex drive whatsoever. I lost a lot of hair, constantly bleeding mood swings and I gained a few pounds."


"I really screwed up with this medication. I put too much on and just thought the burning was it working. I had one small anal wart and thought I would "go hard or go home" I went hard with the cream, and I had a horrible reaction to it. My skin was so raw I could not walk. If water touched it in the shower it was a pain unlike any I have felt. Washing it burned, sitting hurt, walking hurt, sneezing hurt, going to the restroom was painful beyond belief, everything made it hurt. Just be very careful and only apply a tiny amount to the effected area. Don't be stupid like me. It does work great but can be unbearably painful if used wrong. It will heal if you do go overboard, but it takes a week or so of pampering."


"So I was on trinessa for about 2 to 5 years. I loved it for the first few years. My cramping  intensity went down to where I could go out and function without any problems. My period was very regulated to where I can predict the exact day and almost the time. It didn't help with my acne at all. After about 3 years I'm starting to have cramping again to where I have to stay in in the bed. And my regulation is off. So it's really good while it lasts."


"Day 7 no help!! I hurt alot still to bend, walk and sit. They want me to stick with this 1 more week and then they say I will
Need it Lanced!!! I am Scared"


"The only bad thing is it acts like a diet pill, so I hardly eat. It seems to make me act like an efficient robot, so I always have to be doiing something productive, without showing emotion or change in facial expression."


"I was addicted to opiate painkillers for 5 years. I thought I had no hope. I bottomed out after 5 years of doing practically nothing but looking for drugs. I went into detox and a methadone program for 7 days. I started an out patient program as soon as I got out but as soon as my last dose of methadone wore off I was back climbing the walls. I really thought Suboxone was going to be my last hope. I could not see myself living much longer either using or going through withdrawal. I had to wait a couple weeks to get in a Suboxone program and the withdrawal was so bad my counselor told me to use! I did get on Suboxone 32mg a day felt great immediately like the same day. On 16mg still today and clean."


"I'm convinced the Lozenge has saved my life.  For me, the patch was awful.  I chewed the gum so hard my jaw was very painful.  The lozenge was perfect, especially since I was a chewer of tobacco, not a smoker.  After my first child was born, I knew I needed to quit and finally got committed (no pun intended).  I have been tobacco free for about 5 years, but like others, I still use lozenge's daily.  I will make an attempt to get off them as I've had some stomach or intestinal pains lately. Still a way better choice than all the cancer causing things in the tobacco."


"Hi I was want to share my experience with you ladies. I don't pretend to scare anybody but here's my experience with my Plan B ,I had unprotected sex with my bf back in July. The next day first thing in the morning I took plan B. Two weeks later I found out I was pregnant. It's very rarely to get pregnant after plan B but it does happens. Good luck to you guys."


"I have been on Aubra for one month and I felt that I should give my experience since I was scared to death to take it based on the reviews online.  So here it goes:  I am a 33 year old female who was not taking any form of BCP and I wanted to get on the pill because I had been having really annoying acne lately (not sure why) and also my periods had become heavy and bothersome.  Long story short, I decided to get on the pill and Planned Parenthood prescribed me Aubra.  One month later, my acne is completely cleared up, no new breakouts at all, my entire completion even looks clearer, I have absolutely no side effects WHATSOEVER, and my period is even much lighter than usual!  I don't know if I'm lucky or what but try it out- I am glad I did"


"I always used Yasmin but from my home-country and actually lost weight for almost 2 years. Once I got in the U.S last October I had to switch pills to the Yazmin from here and the pharmacy actually gave me the generic brand, Ocella. Awful for me. Switched to the actual Yasmin but same thing, I gained around 40 pounds in less than 6 months and even stopped at the ER because of Ocella. Aviane was prescribed last month and its the best pill I took since I arrived here. Pretty much back to normal except for the extra pounds that its been easier to lose now, way less hormones than the other pills. I love it! Oh and sex drive increased 100%."


"Omg just had my first lot of Moviprep and I feel so sick
Nothing yet only gurgling stomach
It does say it takes an hour to work
Will take 2nd dose tonight "


"I am only on my second month of this medicine.  My experience so far, the medicine is easy to to swallow it's a small white pill. The dosage is all the same so if I get a day ahead ( take tuesdays pill instead of Mondays)  I am still putting the correct dose in my body. I have always had terrible periods lasting up to 7-9 days .with several very heavy days.  Not this time, my period was what I would call normal lasting 4 days only with one day heavier than others. My mood was a little out of whack at first.. but seems to have leveled out. Pimples so far seem about the same.. I still get some.  Normally I would have super cravings, didn't seem to have them when I started my period.  I had no break thru bleeding."


"Have been on hormones for 25 years. Mom died at 59, Dad at 55. I am 79, still play active tennis = weight training- golf and do not have the usual aches and pains. If you do not have any serious illness get on the hormones."


"I will be 50 next week so the hair loss may be due to menopause although I am having no other signs of this (still have regular cycles, no hot flashes, etc.). And this came on so quickly; as soon as I started taking Vimpat so I feel there may be a connection. Started 400 mg in November and had terrible insomnia/tremors so I was cut back to 300. I did not have a reduction in the number of seizures (4 partial a month) but the severity has reduced greatly. However my hair is falling out at an unbelievable pace. I am so happy for the reduction in seizure severity I will buy a wig if needed. Just wanted to mention for anyone else who may be facing this as it is not a listed side effect. Also 8 lb weight loss and still a bit anxious."


"I had the Implanon inserted a few weeks ago. Nothing unusual about my last period. However, I feel like I'm going crazy. I lash out at everyone and an argument seems to be my new hobby. I hate it. I cry randomly for no reason and fatigue hits me all at once and its impossible to fight it. I run random fevers and I cramp bad at certain times. I've had nothing but bad experiences from this thing. EXCEPT, its nearly impossible to get pregnant on it. I just can't deal with these emotions anymore. So, I am getting Implanon removed."


"I have not had any issues with the implanon I got it in July 2013. I'm on my last year and I love it. When I first got it in, my period didn't come for 7 months only last the usual 7 days and then it was gone, then my it came again 3 months later only lasted about 7 days. and now its hasn't came for a year but decided to pop up just last week but I'm okay with it. I don't think I have any other side effects maybe some weight gain but I'm tall and have always been petite so I like the weight gain. The only side effect I don't like is the hair growing everywhere it shouldn't. But thats not going to make me try anything else. I already tried the shot and pills. I couldn't remember to take the pill everyday and the shot had me on my period for like 2 months."


"I'm another one wishing I had read up of this product before using it. As many on here, I too felt better BEFORE using this product. The burning is unbelievable!!! After using the bathroom and releasing the stupid cream, I once again am feeling like I'm being tortured for my life long sins... for those of who it did work for good on you but 90% of us felt like @#!&^×^÷ ...just stay AWAY from this product!"


"Good! "


"my husband was given a shot of rocephine within seconds he was in anaphylactic shock. He was given benedryll to reverse the medication. He was rushed to the hospital his blood pressure shot thru the roof he nearly died. From the shot he suffers from serum sickness, high blood pressure, irreg heart beat, extreme sweating, restless leg sydrom,, headaches, loss of appetite, PTSD, extreme panick attacks, hyperactivity, insomnia, flushing, jitters all the time, fear, depression, chest pain, feeling of discomfort.  Loss of dignity, my husband is a different person and this drug did this to him.  It is a daily struggle every moments to keep positive and hope for a cure to fix his neurological damage this shot has caused"


"I've had it since September 2015. At first I'd spot here & there, then 2 weeks at a time. To sum things up my period has been on since Halloween & it's January now. The only side effects are that sometime when lifting heavy objects I get really weak, also it's made me very nauseous to any smell."


"I used Senokot for about 2 years and it made no improvement, I was still going to the toilet around once a week and it made no effect."


"I have been receiving Lupron or Eligard every 6 months for ten years to help reduce the growth of prostate cancer. Early research reports indicated that one side effect might be peripheral neuropathy. That started to develop in my feet shortly after I was put on Lupron. Loss of bone mass has also been associated with Lupron. I have begun taking 1200 units of calcium VitaminD each day. My PSA scores have all continued to be below .1. I have no major complaints, and have learned to live with the side effects."


"After a bad car accident I've been prescribed several medications all of which had side effects that made them not possible to function with. Zanaflex is great, it starts working in about an hour after ingestion, it does make me sleepy so I take it one hour before bed and have a wonderful sleep. I wake up with out any grogginess the next morning.  The only reason I didn't rate it a 10 is that if I took it during the day I would be drowsy."


"I've only been on Levemir, 12 units for about a week and I feel like I'm going to die. I take it at 9 everynight, yet my blood sugar first thing in the morning was still 154. We try and keep it under 140. Before it was usually under 200. My last A1C was 7.2  I'm so tired, very weak, can only walk for 10 yards without stopping to rest.  My heart pounds too. I called my endo doc and he now wants to supplement it with Novolog, to control meal spikes. Now I'm afraid to take it because it may make me feel even worse. I've been so careful with what I eat and have lost 7 pounds, but I feel like garbage. Any ideas, anyone?? Have I just not been on Levemir long enough for my body to adapt?"


"I've only been on it for a month, but I'm really liking it so far. I haven't experienced any noticeable side effects. I have trouble with irregular & painful periods, acne, depression, mood swings, insomnia, etc. So far I've noticed that I haven't broken out since I started this birth control. I also have felt less depressed. I've had 1 period while on this birth control and it was just as painful as usual, but the bleeding was much slower and much lighter. (I go through 2 tampons every 8 hours as opposed to 2 every 1 hour) I haven't noticed any mood swings and my insomnia has definitely improved. Overall I really like this birth control. The only thing that could make it better is if it made my periods completely pain-free."


"Very effective. As a matter of fact, it has been the only thing that has worked without having vicious side effects. It is however, so very expensive. "


"I thought I would share today my experience with zoloft. 2 months ago I was the anxious one on here reading all the reviews on medications, every one and there was positive and negatives. So worried about taking an "antidepressant". I suffered daily with SEVERE anxiety and panic attacks to where I would have a panic attack sometimes for a few hours. It was awful. And because I felt like that so often I would say I had mild depression. Just hopeless.  Could anything help my anxiety ? This medicine has changed my life for the better. I started at 25mg and still felt bad, no improvement even after 5 weeks. My doctor upped me to 50mg and within a week I felt 100x better. I had no side effects other than 2/3 headaches. My advice to you, try it."


"I have had Nexplanon for 1 year now and love it because its worry free and feel like myself.
Insertion- Numb my arm and painless insertion.
Period- 3 periods in 12 months, very light but spotting can last 2 weeks. Bloating, fatigue and breast tenderness during period. No mood swings, no weight gain and no acne.
Previously on ortho triclen lo- would have extreme frustration, weight gain and low libido."


"This drug caused me a lot of problems.  At first it made my mania go away, but after a month on it I developed very stiff muscles. I was given cogentin but that didn't help, and after two months I became very spaced out and my family said I was saying some weird stuff but I couldn't remember.  My pdoc finally took me off zyprexa after 4 months when I showed her how stiff my muscles had become ( walking a block was a chore) and told her my leg would start twitching by itself. Overall horrible experience."


"Well I have tremors and migraines, so my neurologist gave me 800mg gabapentin and I'm supposed to take 2 x 800mg (1600mg) 3 times a day for my tremors mainly, but a side effect is the absence of migraines."


"So far, Elavil is the only thing that seems to help on a daily basis with my cyclic vomiting syndrome. A drug I have used to abort an episode is Maxalt, which I think it is the same class of as Imitrex."


"I was givin paxil by my doctor, and It works wonders.

It is rare that I even feel most anxiety, and I haven't had an attack in months. I've been on it a couple years and have yet to feel it stop working.

BUT, do not take this if you aren't willing to have a long time commitment with it. One thing the doctor won't tell you about straight up is the withdrawal. I've tried to come off of paxil, out of frustration mostly at the withdrawal effects, and all I can describe it as is a living hell. Confusion blurred vision, brain zaps, vertigo, nausea, depression, increased anxiety, etc. Not for the faint of heart. If you can, go with something else."


"Initial euphoric effects wore off so dosage was increased. Was told would treat nerve pain and  later told good for anxiety. My anxiety got worse on med as when it was due or late I was ill, it has addictive qualities I do not like.  My health took a nose dive on this and I had to come off due to blurred vision, weight gain, blocked bowel.  My Doctor advised decreasing of 75mg a week.  My first drop was hell completely threw me into panic as I felt so ill, no one explained withdrawal when I saw medics in a state no one comforted me saying it could be the reduction too high/quick for me, after all in hindsight if I felt unwell late taking one dose then dropping 75mg wouldn't be helpful quickly, lower doses not easy to get as more costly to NHS etc"


"Has help greatly with hot flushes from chemo induced menopause."


"I have been on this birth control for a month with minimal problems. I was on another one before but had to switch due to how emotional it made me. Trycyclen lo balanced my mood out pretty well. I had no spotting but when I got my period cramps were a little harsh. My boobs grew a little bit bigger and became sensitive. I was a little nauseous the first few days of the birth control but that settled itself. My acne cleared up pretty well! Overall a good trusty birth control."


"I took Savella for 7 weeks. Noticed just a bit of relief. Horrible side effects which included not only severe sweating, bloating, increased headaches, but also I got a period after 3 1/2 years of not  having one. Coincidence? I stopped taking the drug and I didn't have a period since. "


"All this has done was to make me fat, no change in crohns,
very sick, 70% of side affects, still suffering now with dehydration.
"


"So far, so good. I was prescribed 25mg 2x a day and was so relieved to have something to tame my anxiety before a flight with my two toddlers. I take 40mg Paxil, but am taking this for more intense anxiety flare ups. It made me tired the first day, but now I'm doing great and finally able to enjoy my kids and my life! I've taken benzos for years, but I'm not a fan due to tolerance and withdrawal symptoms. The only downside of hydroxyzine so far is this odd anxiety when falling asleep. I will wake myself up due to not feeling myself breathe. This can go on for an hour +. I'm hoping that will fade off and I can just enjoy the benefits of this medication."


"I'm not an easy patient, unsatisfied with the weight gain from the typical atypicals, lacking an 'oomph' from lithium, allergic to lamotrgine and anti-depressants give me a one way ticket to the manic rollercoaster.

I started Abilify and within 3 days I was hypermanic and nauseous to boot. No sleep, spending $400 on some bed sheets seemed like a marvellous idea, thrill seeking etc and throwing up every 3 hours.

However my psychiatrist guided me through it with sleep meds and something to settle the stomach and I'm so glad I pushed through.

Yeah, the restlessness is an issue but I'd like to consider myself an 'experience and going out' person now. Anything better than the listlessness of depression or meds that are supposed to cure it."


"I had a botched intestinal surgery in 2000 which has given me severe pain since, sometimes 10 on the pain scale which made life very unpleasant at times.  I finally found a doctor who spent the time and effort to find a medication which ended up being hydromorphone and my life has changed completely.  I have absolutely no side effects and my life has totally changed.  Sometimes it takes a good Doctor who will work with you and really understands how devastating pain can be!"


"This is the 2nd time I have quit with Chantx.  It truly works.  To avoid the nightmares, I started off by taking half a pill morning & night for the first week and then went to a full tablet morning & night and that worked, no nightmares this time.  I have been taking it for 2 months now and have been smoke free for one month.  How long should o take it!"


"The number one piece of advice I can give here is to stop eating solid foods a day or two prior to your "liquids only" day. I ate chicken noodle soup, plain saltines and drank lots of Gatorade for 2 days. My prep day started with jello for breakfast, plain chicken broth for lunch. Lots of Gatorade and water. I did not chill the prep as many people here have suggested because my stomach is sensitive to cold. The only thing berry about this mixture is the smell. Tasted like ocean water to me. I just chugged it. The shear volume is the worst part. Within 30 minutes I was spraying. 2 hours later I took the second dose. There was no cramping or discomfort. To avoid injuring yourself, don't wipe yourself raw. Really, you'll just need to blot."


"I am still in treatment, but my initial impression of Ibrance is positive. My doctor is extremely supportive of it's uses and anticipated outcomes. (I have a fantastic doctor) I've had ease of access, when I mention Ibrance to medical professionals and the like their response is positive according to what they're hearing. My side effects have been few and not severe. The only major reaction I experienced was during the course of undergoing radiation treatments and taking Ibrance & Femara in combination. I became neutropenic (sp?) w/mild diarrhea, weakness, dehydration and throat and esophagus challenges. My challenges were a bit overwhelming.  The newness of Ibrance concerns me. Just hoping it does the job!  Thank you."


"I have been taking Topamax for 6 years.  It was originally prescribed when I experienced a major change in my migraines at age 46.  The migraines have been controlled; I only have had one every 2-3 months.  Before Topamax I was having migraines twice a week.  (Imitrex is great, but taking it so often was frightening.)  I have had kidney stones (wasn't drinking enough water), difficulty finding words, memory problems, fatigue.  My goal is to reduce my dependence on this drug by increasing my overall health and fitness with better eating habits, exercise, and stress reduction."


"I took it at 5pm and all of my symptoms were gone by 11:30. I got the yeast infection from antibiotics and I'm so glad it's gone! This medication is amazing. Also I see a lot of ladies saying they have Chronic yeast infections, my advice is to change you diet and health routine."


"Horrible drug. After the second shot I started bleeding a full period everyday. Would have to change my feminine product at least three times a day. My doctor suggested doing a third shot just to make sure it was in my system like it was suppose to be. After having the third shot with no improvement I switched to the pill. I still have the depo shot in my system though and am still bleeding. I am bleeding so heavy I have blood clots and have to change my feminine products five times a day on average. Would not recommend this product to anyone. Definitely not worth the 50/50 risk."


"To be honest I am not a fan of anticonvulsants. They have the craziest side effects and everytime I've taken them I instantly feel like I consumed alcohol. I've taken Lyrica, Gabapentin, and now Tegretol XR. I stopped this medication at my
own disclosure because I was terrified once I read that this medication is known for "drug-induced liver failure". Not to mention it interacts with almost every other drug I take. That is not something I want to risk and am very upset that my doc didn't disclose this to me. He didn't even run a blood test to check my liver enzyme level prior to starting treatment so thats a whole other conversation but the point is I do not like this drug and would advise everyone to avoid it if you can."


"I began using Capsaicin-HP for severe pain from by neck to top of my buttocks caused by fibromyalgia. I found it to decrease my pain as much or better than non-narcotic oral medications. Then I had an injury to my back which required a lumbar spinal fusion at L5-S1. Capsaicin again helped my pain incredibly. I applied everyday 2 to 4 times a day before surgery and then limited used to areas of neck and back away from incision until site healed, then resumed use over entire back. It does get very "hot" at times, but I learned not to focus on that and realized that was the time it seemed to be removing pain the best. I am a nurse and eventually learned to allow it to "heat" which typically lasts about 30 min and I got the best results."


"I've been on Kariva for almost 5 years and absolutely loved it! No weight gain, but sometimes moody and have cramps but that's normal."


"It has worked well and I have lost some weight BUT I have been experiencing smelling nail polish remover (acetone) which even sent me scared of DKA to the ER!  Still happening and no explanation.  About to stop taking it because this scares me."


"So, I would like to start by saying that I'm a 28-year-old female, about 150 lbs. and I'm usually VERY regular. I went from Friday-Sunday with NO bowel movements and felt the need to take this medication. I took it at 5:30 PM with two glasses of water and I was relieved for the first time at 12:30 AM. I then went to the restroom three more times, the last time being at 7:30 AM. Each time I went was like Harry on Dumb & Dumber LOL. I will say that I did not experience any major side effects, as other people are stating. I think the main thing is drinking water. I drank TWO full glasses with the two pills that I took. I then drank water as the night went on. I only felt a little crampy right before I went to the restroom and then I was fine."


"I am 21 years old and my doctor put me on Levaquin for 10 days, so far everything is good all my prostatitis symptoms have gone away, the only problem so far is some of the side effects of the Levaquin. I noticed that it makes my skin or tendons very tender. The first day I used it I was cooking eggs in my kitchen, I had to stop for a second because I felt some pain in my hand. I looked at my hand it was red right where it was gripping the frying pan handle. As of right now I've been having a very difficult time falling asleep. "


"I find Lunesta a very helpful sleeping aide.  And it doesn't make me drowsy in the morning."


"Truly liberating to know that LYRICA helps alleviate my chronic pain. For over 30 years my very misunderstood condition has been mistreated, and I myself much maligned. Using high dose opiates became my way to deal with it as it least they worked to a degree. BUT 3 years ago, LYRICA helped change my life. IF ONLY IT WAS AROUND A LONG TIME AGO. Lyrica works."


"Hi I'm 21 years old and got this arm implant fitted about 3 weeks ago I've not had any serious side effects only mild bloating nausea and minor headache I was meant to get my monthly period on the 25th of May how ever now its the 3rd of June I've still not had a period yet. I'm about 9 days late. This product is good for regular periods just hope my body behaves its self because I'm away on holiday soon for 2 weeks. Every body is different people react differently to these arm iMplants but I've had no issues as of yet."


"Almost 2 months on just 20 mg pain mgmt narcotics for chronic pain, many procedures little help, also CPTSD, GAD, pos. bipolar, depression. MY BACK PAIN AND SCIATIC GONE after 5 days on a low dose. Reserving judgement on the rest. Increase dose to 60 mg. I expect to get a hint in the next week. May have overactive mind/severe difficulty sleeping tho. Higher dose may help. But the pain relief - wouldn't have believed it if someone told me. So have to weigh pain vs insomnia or other side effect I might get. Good luck with this medicine! Insanely expensive and I know from girlfriends experience withdrawal can be bad."


"Within the first month I started getting incredibly emotional, moody, breast tenderness and spotting. Not to mention my acne is out of control. I usually get only one or two pimples, but now have 7 huge ones on my face. Switching to Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo..hope it makes my acne better. "


"I was only on this for a few days until I got a tick inm y left eye and my doctor said I had to discontinue. Research indicates that in rare cases these facial ticks could be permanent which is scary. I also experienced "brain shocks/zaps"."


"I took Levaquin 500 three years ago and it worked great. I felt better in one day, but of course finished the course of the antibiotic. I had no side effects that I can remember, and was VERY happy that it quickly got rid of the crud I had (Bronchitis). I was prescribed Levaquin 750 for Sinusitis this week and am on my second day of taking it (will take it for 5 days total). The first day, I kept spacing out and forgetting what I was doing. It's not as bad today. I also feel soreness in certain parts of my body...my wrists, elbows, and one side of my neck. I also had mild insomnia, and I never have a problem sleeping normally. I'm still happy with Levaquin and these side effects seem mild at the moment."


"I have only been taking this medication for 3 days but I can tell the difference already. After having a tubes tied I started experience even heavier periods than I did before. I've always had heavy periods but they got worse after my tubes were tied, I would wear tampons and overnight pads. Last night was the first night in over a year and a half that I did not wear a pad to sleep and it was marvelous especially since j hate pads anyway. Keep you up dated with progress like I said this is just day 3."


"I had an abortion in April 2017 and bled the way u should after abortion like having a baby. I was given this birth control due to no insurance and started taken it I missed a period for a month then my period came on and I've been bleeding now 16 days and I have not stopped this is the absolute worse I hoping my Medicaid cuts in so I can go back to Nuva ring"


"I was prescribed Mirapex for my Restless Leg Syndrome in 2004 and took it until April of 2006.  My dosage was increased to 1.5mg in August 2005.  In October 2005, my Brother and Mother took me to the Niagara Casino, until then, I had never stepped into a Casino before, I knew nothing about those places.  I won a jackpot.  Started buying scratch and win cards at one store, then getting more with the winnings or free ticket at another store. Our plant closed at the end of February 2006.  I started gambling and even thought of selling my Downtown condo and moving closer to the casino.  When I mentioned to the Dr that I was gambling, he said "you're on Mirapex, stop taking it immediately". Turns out compulsive behavior is a side effect. All Okay now."


"It works extremely well but when they say cramp free that's a lie :("


"It works wonders. Xanax has made my life so much easier. I am on 2mg 3x a day and I feel like I'm happier and more out going. I don't know what I would do without it ...I give it** 5 *stars**."


"I have taken Adderall XR for several years and found that long acting amphetamine was the best treatment for my ADHD. However, I frequently had issues remembering to take it in the mornings and would often forget to take my medicine. Adzenys XR-ODT is so convenient in the blister pack I remember to take it, and the orange flavor is great! It lasts all day andI don't get a bad crash at the end of the day like I used to with my Adderall XR. Also, got first month free and pay only $25 per month with co-pay card"


"Took my cholesterol down. After one year developed what I believe to be awful side affects from this med. Muscle weakness and neuropathy at the top of the list. Went off statins, felt better after a few months, but took about 3 years to feel normal. I know others that also had side affects from statins. I will not take this again."


"I changed to Seroquel from Zyprexa because of uncontrollable appetite. I don't have this so much with Seroquel. I feel like myself now, experiencing emotions in a normal way as well as a better ability to think. Seroquel (as well as the Zyprexa) has allowed me to return to work full time after a long period of feeling I was walking around dead, waiting for the next trial medicine to work. These atypical antipsychotic medicines worked quickly - even in the lower initial doses I could feel a change. They gave me a life, to the point where I was able to have a relationship and now marry. My only problem is sweating, which is difficult here in the Tropics."


"My wife was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in July, 2016. She has the EGFR gene. She had two tumors in her right lung, tumors in her liver, one adrenal gland, brain and bones.  She was in severe pain.  Since her brain was affected, it was decided she should have 10 days of brain radiation. The radiation did nothing for the pain.  In mid-August, 2016 she started taking 150 mg of Tarceva, once daily.  Within a few days, the pain subsided.  After about a week, it was gone.  By November the tumors had shrunk in all affected areas by at least 80%.  By February, 2017 the tumors in her liver, brain, bones and adrenal gland were gone.  She now has two tiny tumors in her lung.  Still taking it.   No big side effects.  We are very thankful!"


"I'm 63 years old and suffer from insomnia and pain from bulging and herniated discs and have undergone three discectomy surgeries. I have been taking Ambien for many years and started with the name brand (10mg) while also trying Ambien CR (12.5mg), then Lunesta, and then back to generic Ambien (10mg).  This generic version has been working very well for several years allowing me to get a full night's sleep without any side effects and it usually acts quickly. "


"My 14 year old daughter is allergic to steroids and antibiotic creams.  She suffers from Atopic Dermatitis.  She has had a spot that covered the whole back of her hand for over two years.  Our dermatologist has tried everything that we could think to cure it.   For the past year and a half we have been using aquifer multiple times a day and at night and covering it.

It started to get bad again and spread.  He asked us to try this new medication cal Eucrisa.  The very next day most all of the swelling went down and within 2 weeks it was gone.  This product is amazing!!!"


"I have taken Cymbalta 60mg for 30 days after being on Zoloft with Wellbutrin for almost a year. I'm feeling better every day. I have been able to do things that I have been unable to do for years such as cooking. Depression is lifted this medication is God send!"


"After being diagnosed with Endometriosis in July, my doctor decided to have me take this birth control pill to help with the terrible, stabbing pains of the Endo. I must say, I noticed a huge difference in pain the next day after taking my first dose! I have not been in pain for a week now! Thank you Cryselle! Also, so far no major side effects but it's too early to say. I only had some nausea the first 2 days. Time will tell if any additional side effects should occur."


"I had this IUD implanted in my poor body Dec 12 2015. I had read the reviews and I under estimated the painful, not pleasant process. I began bleeding as soon as it entered my body. The cramps and bleeding remained for 25 days before I went to the emergency room and begged for it to be removed!!! During the holidays I was met with 3 massive migraines all within 3 weeks including Christmas day. I also began to get a pain in my left side along with getting up every hour to pee. The cramps were endless and the left side pain had me doubled over. It was removed last Sunday and I spent 2 days in hospital. Oh also a bladder infection. They stated it could be likely from the IUD. I had nothing but issues with this horrible little T shaped product!"


"I love the depo shot.. I've been on it for over two years now. I have had no period or spotting until about two years on it. I only spot about 4 weeks before my next shot and have had a little bleeding lately. Other than that I really love it. And no weight gain."


"Ok, I felt better two days in to treatment. Then, a week in, I am calm. Two weeks in, still calm. Just even. Finally. I've struggled with rapid heartbeats, sweating, panic, fear, talking too fast, gasping for breath because I have so much anxiety, and just a general uncomfortable feeling my whole life. Of course Xanax and meds like that worked, but when they wore off the anxiety would come back worse. This drug Prozac? Like, why didn't I try it earlier. I've been on many other antidepressants and only Cymbalta came close. On 20 mg and my headaches and muscle tension are also reduced. I hope this lasts. The only side effects: early waking, and waking up a few times at night, but I just take some Benadryl and I sleep through the night"


"I've never taken birth control before and I was given this by my doctor because I have heavy bleeding and menstrual cramps. I only took this pill for 3 weeks and they have been the worst 3 weeks of my life. I've struggled with depression but this pill worsens my depression. I've had panic attacks and my anxiety is almost unbearable. I'm always nauseous and I'm unable to eat and as a result I've lost a ton of weight. As someone that's already very skinny this is not a good side affect. I went from being a pretty active, healthy individual to a depressed always tired and irritable mess. I've been off the pill for about a week and I'm still experiencing symptoms. Hopefully they will go away"


"Had my tonsil (left) out on Wednesday. This is the only medicine that has worked I have been in spook much pain"


"I have been taking Microgestin for almost 4 years and I have an appointment at my OB tomorrow to get it switched. My menstrual cycle has always been off. Therefore, I was put on Microgestin in hopes for proper regulation with a lower dose. In the beginning, I didn't notice many side effects. Now, four years later, I can't get off this fast enough. I gained a lot of weight, I'm constantly negative, moody, and my emotions are all over the place. I've never had problems with vision before, now I'm wearing glasses and my vision is slowly getting worse. My anxiety levels are through the roof and I have such a loss in sex drive. It has been terrible and I'm really hoping that I find a new birth control that works for me."


"Wonderful! I have used it for 20 years!"


"Just started saxenda a few days ago, still in the 0.6 dose. I am a little frightened about continuing this medication. I have lost weight already but feel like it may be because I'm so nauseous all the time."


"I was scared to take birth control pills because I recently had a tough fight with depression, and I didn't want to go through mood swings during the adjustment period for these pills. However, also noticed that when I was depressed, I was at my worst the days before my period. I've been taking these for two weeks, and I've noticed NO SIDE EFFECTS at all. I actually have been feeling better than ever! Of course, this is my body and everyone else's can react differently. YOU DON"T KNOW HOW YOU'LL REACT TILL YOU TRY IT."


"I've had it for two months, up to now I've bleed since day 1, acne, no sex drive, and dryness!"


"Suboxone is an absolute god send for opiate detox. I've been to rehab twice for Opiates, including Heroin, Methadone, and Oxycodone. I felt next to NOTHING, no withdrawal after doing a Suboxone detox. The first time it was a 7 day detox.. then 2nd time it was a 12 day detox. it shouldn't be used any longer than that.. 14 days MAX. Unless you want to do maintnance for life. You have to wait AT LEAST 24 hours of NO opiate use before you can take Suboxone.. 72 hours for methadone! or you'll go into precipitated withdrawal! which is the worst!"


"I would give this a 0 if I could...I write this while I'm laying in a hospital bed in the ED.  I've been on this for 3 days...the lowest dose 5mg which I then cut in half...after an hour of taking this my arms felt numb, extremely dizzy & feeling completely out of it...heart started palpitating, couldn't catch my breath...my BP upon entering ED was 190/100 & heart rate was 140...the scariest feeling ever...the only other Rx I take is levothyroxine for low thyroid...sadly I should be on something for my anxiety, but now I'm scared to death to take anything...so I guess I'll just suffer through it :-("


"I laughed out loud reading Zentragal's comment. Made me laugh so hard. But only because last month I went through the same god awful itching burning pain that this "medicine" made a million times worse. This was the first and only YI I've ever had and my gyno said it was a severe one (guess why?? ANTIBIOTICS.) The first night I did the cream up I too though I might be allergic because I wanted to rip it off of my body, but my doc said to stick with the 7 days, so the next night I took some pain relief before I creamed up and OMG never again. I thought I was going to be sterile for the rest of my life everything felt like Dante's Inferno down there and I thought I'd never have sex ever again might as well be a nun"


"After having my daughter last September, I fell into severe PPD and anxiety. I tried many types of meds, but had minimal if any relief and most left me more exhausted than I was to begin with. I started Pristiq Aug 6th of this year after having a DNA profile of the meds I could tolerate (not very many!) and with every week, I've felt better. Every week (except for the first few weeks), I've been able to look back and see how much I feel more like myself again and how much my anxiety has lessened. Almost 12 weeks since I began and I am very thankful for it. Remember, it's not a quick fix, no antidepressant is, it definitely took time."


"December 1999. Boxing Day. Already signed up for zyban course with group meetings for 1/1/2000.  Started course and never smoked since....or wished to. Truly amazing and immediate. Didn't even have to complete course, it was that good. Always smoked socially from 18 to 44. A true life saver with no side effects. You must attend class /discussions..it's a mental commitment that's essential to success and really works.
Don't hear too much about it these days but go for it!"


"One of the things that I'm reading here is that people use Restasis and Steroids together. You can't use Restasis at the same time use Steroids that is a big mistakes your eyes are going to get worse. Using Restasis for 4 months and I feel great."


"This was the first birth control I have ever tried. I was told the first couple of months would be irregular periods. Well...my period didn't stop. So my doctor gave me the low hormone pill as a solution to regulate it and it worked. After that my period was regulated and I have had no pregnancy scares. 2 years later I got a different doctor and he wouldn't prescribe me the pill as an add on to regulate my period anymore. Great when I took the pill as an add on but horrible without it."


"It's not working. I still stay up or get up 5 to 6 time a night."


"Ambium has helped me to sleep after a bitter divorce"


"I have been on Aveed for six month.5 weeks  After the 3rd shot I had blood work. My test levels are 400. Witch is pretty low. Before getting on Aveed.  I was on test cypionate.  2 injection per week of .5 ml each. My test level then where at 890 . Plus every time you get an injection you have to go to your doctor'said office and stay under observation for 30 mn. So you get charge $35 for the shot and $50 for the injection. Cypionate with anastrozol for a month supply would only cost me $12."


"I have suffered from migraines since I was a kid. I'm 49 now. In my mid 30s I started taking imitrex and it completely derailed me. I then started trying a bunch of preventative drugs, beta blocker, calcium blockers and ssri drugs. Finally found one that works fairly well, but along with that I use maxalt as a rescue drug which I still take 6+ times a month. It's a good drug and is effective. I have always noticed the migraines redoubles its efforts before leaving after I take it. I also notice it makes me very sleepy and foggy. I don't like to take it at work because of that. 9 times out of 10 it works, but there are still times it does nothing for me. Some is better than none in my world though. I take a generic due to cost."


"I am 26, and had the Mirena placed at my 6 week postpartum check up after having our second baby girl. All that happened was I felt very mild, barely noticeable cramping that day, and on and off randomly since. I have a higher sex drive, no acne (which is wonderful because I've had problems with adult acne), hand lost 5 pounds that WEEK, and now am steadily losing weight. Nothing is being or has been negatively affected. I know everyone is different, I was an excellent candidate for it because of very heavy, long lasting, and painful periods. "


"At first I suffered through them. This included splitting head pain, nausea, and vomiting. I started using Excedrin after a while which helped if I took it right away. Then that started to not work so well anymore. I had one really bad one that lasted hours. I was still throwing up at 9 pm and I was now throwing up blood. I went to the ER and when I finally got in they put me on an IV to hydrate me. They then added Imitrex to the bag and I soon started feeling side effects. My head felt like I was going to pass out. My breathing became labored and it felt like someone was sitting on my chest. They said that meant it was working. After about two minutes everything was gone. I got pills to take at home and they worked okay. Not as fast."


"This medication is magic. The first few times you take it (if you take it before bed, I usually do because that's when a majority of my panic attacks occur), then you might wake up feeling zombie-ish for a few times in the beginning. For me, that side effect passed. Now, it's amazing for me. My best friend was on Xanax and she said it would just knock her out and by the time she woke up, it would be worn off and she would then panic all over again. Klonopin has not been like that for me because it has a longer half life, which means it stays in your system in effect for a longer period of time. I will say this - be careful. Honestly, I took 1/2 of a .5mg pill for a while and it did me well. Be safe with your usage and you'll love it."


"Taken 30 minutes before bedtime, 50mg of Trazodone made me extremely drowsy. I probably fell asleep rather quickly, but I tossed-n-turned throughout the night!

I also experienced very strange dreams.  Twelve hours after taking the medication, I awoke feeling very groggy, off-balanced, and had a headache; hang-over feeling."


"After using this medicine and knowing how well it works I wish I had started on it years ago instead of letting my life almost slip away. Thanks to my husband, without him I could never have got off the pills and started the Suboxone. Now I have my life back. Take my advice if you need to get off opiates at least give Suboxone a chance."


"Great product , I can go for a long time strong, thank you to cialis and my doctor that prescribed."


"I've been on 10 mg of Citalopram for 6 months. Honestly, I've always been skeptical regarding anti-depressants (SSRIs), but once I quit being stubborn and finally started on this medication...just, thank goodness. Citalopram has essentially saved my life. I feel like the me I SHOULD be; as in, this drug didn't turn me emotionless/zombielike; it simply enhanced me and has brought me back to life. I'm happier, more confident, and so thankful that I've gotten myself out of an abyss of chronic sadness. I have experienced a few side effects such as SUPER vivid dreams and more difficulty self-lubricating before sex, but in the scope of things it's totally manageable. Also, I did NOT gain weight, so don't let that possibility scare you off!!"


"I've had one injection of depo provera and honestly the first two months were fine. Now I'm getting tingling all over my body & more sensitive skin and I've been on my period all month when these symptoms started. Honestly I don't like it, I have another appointment to get my second shot I'm trying it for another 3 months then seeing how that goes. Also very horrible cramps"


"I used to take Seldane (worked great) until they took it off of the market and replaced it with Allegra.

180mg dose of Allegra (NOT Allegra-D) does not provide all day relief if I spend extended time outdoors during allergy season.  However, 240mg dose works great.  240mg dose is one 180mg tablet (once daily) at start of day plus one 60mg tablet (12 hour product) before going outside.

"


"I've been on Trinessa for almost 3 years because my period is out of whack, it's the only thing that works. My period comes every 4th week of the month. The first week I started taking it I felt like crap. I had almost every side effect but my doctor told me to keep taking it. It helped with my migraines and cleared up my skin. The only side effects I have now are bad cramps and back aches but other than that.. LOVE IT! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND."


"After battling dysthymia alternating with moderate anxiety for years and trying all sorts of natural means to treat it, I slipped into major depression. I was prescribed a low dose of Cymbalta--20 mg. After taking just two pills over three days, it has been one awful drug trip. I'm hoping for the heavy, dizzy feeling of pressure on my brain to end. The lethargy, nausea and chills have also been bad. I have two children, one of whom stayed home sick while I was on this, and I could barely care for her. It killed my appetite, which I didn't think would be a bad thing, but when you only feel like eating a banana and an orange all day, it becomes a problem. I'm looking forward to "just" feeling depressed again."


"I was prescribed clonazepam 0.5mg twice a day for my anxiety and for restless leg syndrome. It works nice for anxiety and I feel it coming again and I don't wanna overdose on it. It doesn't help much with the RLS. I just went a week without it. Waiting for my refill to come in and then I take it for the first time in a week and I feel great. But once I start taking it every day, it won't work to it's full effect. Idk if I need a higher dose or a new brand but something has to change. Overall, it works. It really brings my heart rate down and calms me. It's just on some days I'll feel anxiety maybe twice a day and I don't wanna take double than I was prescribed. And for my RLS, I think I might need a whole new med for just that."


"This medication was literally a life saver for me. I have had severe allergies to peanuts since I was a child. I mean, where I couldn't even touch peanut m&ms because they had peanuts inside the chocolate shells or sit in a seat at one of those places where you throw peanut shells on the floor or whatever as you eat them. I have had to use my epipen in that situation once (because I didn't want to seem different and I didn't think that just sitting in a seat, which I assumed had been wiped off) would affect me. I have also had to use it visiting my parents when my grandfather was alive because he loved peanuts and I'd sit where he's sat and had to use it again. I always carry two on me at all times."


"I started Implanon December of 2009.  Everything was wonderful for the first year and a half.  I didn't have my period or PMS symptoms whatsoever.  Less than a year ago I started having PMS symptoms and within 3 months I started having my period again without any reason or cause.  What is my worry is that I am ovulating and I am not sure if it is working anymore.  My periods have been worse than when I was on the pill.  I also didn't like the cost of the Implanon. Due to the cost and the fact that I am not even sure if it is working anymore, I can't say I have been happy with Implanon."


"I was so scared at first to start this med!!!! But I was so tired of feeling tired the first 2 weeks were rough!!!! Now almost 8 week in I feel great so much energy thank god and gilead for this med. oh iam gentype 2 for over 20 years having this crap. God bless and good luck to all.(:"


"I've used it for roughly 1.5 yrs now and it seems to be still working; of course there's the whole placebo effect, but this stuff is decent. Worst thing about it is it costs a lot, $2/pill. Make sure you don't miss too many doses or it will take a while to start working again (takes a month in the beginning). I haven't noticed any side-effects that I could link to this drug. Hope this helps."


"I was given Orsythia because my pharmacy had told me that Aviane was being discontinued. I was also told they were the same thing and made by the same manufacturer. I contacted Teva and was told that the information I was given was wrong, that Aviane is not discontinued and not under the same manufacturer. Aviane was perfect for me no acne, perfect moods, energy, and a good appetite (I need weight gain). The first week of Orsythia consisted of meltdowns, frequent headaches, dizziness, slight nausea, and acne lots of acne. Into the second week my nausea became a little bit worse and my temper would easily be disturbed, I also experienced very bothersome breast soreness. Stick to what works for you and do your research!"


"I gave this medication a 5 and here's why.When I was in the hospital and Dilaudid was put in my Iv, it managed my pain GREAT. It kept me mostly pain free and comfortable enough to be able to sleep at night. Wonderful for my back pain.Now on the other hand,ORAL DILAUDID does not work at all.I thought it was just me after I was Rx'd them for BT pain but my pharmacist agrees. So I give Dilaudid that's given through an Iv a 10 but the ORAL formulation of this medication I give a 0.Again,this is not just me,my pharmacy told me they've gotten many complaints of ORAL Dilaudid not providing relief."


"Felt mild relief, Doc said it should be gone in 3 days gave me enough to take it for 5 days in case it was not gone. I also experienced fevers and achiness. Not pleasant. Everyday I had discomfort and today I am out of it and feel terrible with my urinary tract symptoms again."


"It works great for my depression, but it does not help me at all with any of my arthritis pain. I have arthritis in my knees hands and spine. I also have sciatica and degenerative disc disease and it doesn't work for any of it."


"I got my nexplanon about a year and a half ago, had it removed yesterday Jan/28/16.
At first I LOVED nexplanon. It was great. and it did serve me well as birth control while I had it.   Now, in the last six months or so I had a major Increase in nausuea, vomiting/no eating, stomach and pelvic pain, the ectopic pregnancy scares, dizziness. I do also take other medications for arthritis like things so I do not want to point my finger 100% at nexplanon as I also endured a lot of stress.  Due to the pelvic and abdominal pains I just decided to remove the nexplanon, be BC free for a couple months to let my body detox and regulate itself again while I cross my fingers for improvement in how I feel.
Bc= great. Side effects= questionable"


"This seems like a miracle for pain from kidney stones in the ureter.  The first stone that I tried it on had given me several quite significant bouts of pain and the 4-5 mm stone passed a couple days after starting with no additional pain.  I have since used it on two other stones that turned out to be about 3 or 3-4 mm and have passed them with essentially no pain after starting Flomax.  So, that is 3 stones passed with essentially no pain after taking the Flomax and a total of 6 pills of Flomax used.  "


"I've battled depression for five years and anxiety since I was a kid. The first two weeks on Prozac, everything got ten times worse. I couldn't function or stop crying or hating myself. But after that, the depression subsided. I'm more confident, calm, and I shy from negative thoughts and sadness rather than welcoming those things like I used to. It has helped my depression an incredible amount, but I have seen a little less improvement in the anxiety (even with cognitive behavioral therapy). Side effects for me are lots of yawning and loss of appetite."


"Reglan is the worst medication that I have ever taken. I became mentally unstable a few days after taking it for Gastroparesis. It relieved my nausea somewhat, but at the worst point dealt with suicidal ideation. I have many friends who also have dealt with similar things. Absolutely not worth it, go with a diet modification for relief instead."


"Accutane is the only thing that worked for my son's SEVERE acne! We were nervous to try it at first with all of the frightening information of side effects, but it truly is a miracle drug."


"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 tried a lot of things for my acne and none of them had worked before differin gel. It's irritating to have acne at 34 years old. I didn't think anything would help. Differin gel was affordable and I could get it at Walmart so I tried it and was pleasantly surprised. This is the first thing that worked for me. You only need a very small amount and you only need to apply it once a day. Any more than that and it will burn your skin. It's a small tube but but it lasts a long time. I would highly recommend it."


"Prescribed 300 mg every six hours after having 3 wisdom teeth extracted. No issues other than increased vaginal discharge. I definitely don't take it with enough water and usually don't have a meal with it but I have zero complaints about side effects. I'm not sure if it's doing what it's supposed to be but it's day 6 and I don't think I have any signs of infection."


"I have been taking this medicine for a week and my pimples are significantly smaller, which is a plus because I've had severe acne for 3 years now. The only problem is that it gives me insomnia, sweats, headaches in the mornings, stomach sickness, and nausea. The side effects are brutal, and I'm considering finding another solution. This is the third acne medicine I've tried and has helped the most, but also affected me the most negatively."


"I just started to take this medicine 2 days ago, and although I feel good and I seem more calm, I experienced vomiting, is that normal? Also I am overweight and my husband has been complaining of me snoring. For the last two days he is so happy because he said I am not snoring any longer so lets see what happens."


"This medication is kind of cool. A tablet that can stick on your gums? My only complaint is that it takes a LONG time to dissolve- over 12 hours. If you've ever had braces, it's nothing, but just annoying especially when you try to eat, brush your teeth, or drink water. I'd recommend doing it right before bed if at all possible. Unfortunately, I took it a couple days after I got a cold sore since it's a prescription and you can't see most doctors immediately. I will say, I can tell the healing process happened quicker with this medication. The above comment is false, as several insurance companies will cover the majority of the cost. I paid $35 for two pills... (Not like that's cheap but definitely better than paying $300 or w/o insurance)."


"I have been positive for 11 years but only  started taking complera a little over a year ago. Up until then my body did an excellent job keeping it under control. Despite all the drugs and hard living  I was doing I would say my side effects hit pretty hard I have been dealing with the most life-altering uncomfortable nausea that I couldn't even begin to explain. Everyday when I wake up sometimes I'm woken up out of my sleep with the nausea that is constant I tell my doctor about this and I feel like it my doctor is not taking me seriously I don't know if this is something that is something to be worried about or if it's normal butt it is seriously ruining my life it is making me consider stopping my meds and just dealing with AIDS"


"I was scared to take this after reading all the negative reviews but it wasn't half as bad as I had anticipated. It tastes like grape cough syrup. I sucked it through a straw to get past my taste buds. It started taking affect about 20 mins after ingestion. I used the restroom for the next 3 hours. Then went to sleep. No nausea, cramps. Just the urge to go. I did have a little leakage so I suggest sitting on a towel if you decide to lay in bed. I also didnt drink the whole bottle in 1 sitting. I broke it down into 2 parts for each bottle. I started at 4pm, took another dose at 6 pm, and repeated same process at 4 am with an 1130 am appt. Time. I did this to reduce any chances of nausea (I was thinking maybe the mass amount taken at once could be the cause for others having nausea) Im a 150 pound 29 year old female. I would recommend this product."
