"I have been taking for about 3 days and it has made me kind of edgy or irritable.  It hasn't really suppressed my appetite either.  I've taken something that was a lot better than this so I am probably spoiled!  But I guess it is a good back up.  I have a little more energy."


"I used to be on 20mg Aropax for 7 years for my Borderline personality Disorder, Social Anxiety, Anxiety and Depression. I use to self harm and not be happy. I was always hospitalised and going down a destructive road. Other medicines made me worse like cipramil, Zoloft and Valium. Aropax did not make me 100% cured but help me deal with everyday issues better I still find that you need to practise mindfulness techniques and practice Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. This drug is only if you have severe depression and anxiety and find it difficult to use standard coping skills. I was off Aropax for 3 years and coping well now I have had a relapse and anxiety worse than ever. I am now back on it for 3 days hopefully it will work soon."


"This is my 2nd week on Contrave and I have lost 13lbs it is AWESOME I feel fantastic only side effect that I having is insomnia..."


"Had flu-like symptoms for the first 3-5 days (body aches, fatigue, felt AWFUL) and by day 6 I woke up with a drug rash covering my entire body. I had to go into the ER for IV drip of benedryl and was told to stop taking the meds. Never again."


"Battled a paralyzing anxiety for years.  A friend let me try some of his gabapentin and I never went back!

Yes there are some weird side effects but u get used to them.

I am a trail runner and motorcycle rider and it never impaired me either way.

My take on it is simple - if u need gabapentin for anxiety it is incredible.

If gabapentin doesn't help your anxiety - it might not be anxiety you havever, I'm no doctor.  Just my opinion."


"This medicine works wonders. It's my go to anti-nausea med. Within 5-10 minutes of the first dose the anxiety starts to go away and after the second dose (if needed) a wave of calm will come over you and the nausea will drift away. I agree with no water before and after for at least a half hour or hour to make sure if works fast and lasts longer. Being Emetophobic myself, I always make sure to keep it close by."


"Went into anaphylaxis after third dose. Increased anxiety. Had to go to the emergency room via ambulance. Mouth, tongue, & throat were swollen, chest was tight, severe all over itching, & itching throat. Found out this only works 50% of the time. That it's a hail Mary drug. It works on half of the people, makes the other half worse. Be very cautious with this one. Because it's a 50/50 chance."


"Very effective. I have osteoarthritis and can be pain free with Codeine. It is more effective with Ibuprofen.  ALSO
profoundly lifts depression due to chronic pain and makes such a better life day to day. Space doses well apart to avoid tolerance. I use only in the morning with very good effect. Using whole daily dose in the morning may get you through the day without a need for a second dose. I would leave at least 6 hours between doses to assure full effect.

Don't suffer needlessly. Good luck and hope this helps."


"We had a failure with the condom. After my girlfriend was able to take the pill 9 hours later. She had a couple days of intense cramping but it came and went. 2 weeks later she got her period on time. I would highly recommend to take the pill within the first 12 hours. If you do You should be fine. The sooner you take it the better. So don't stress about it to much, you will drive yourself crazy when there's a high chance you won't get pregnant. My situation was pretty bad so I'm sure if it worked for me, it will work for you."


"It works and helps me get back to normal within a few hours. No side effects or drowsiness."


Brompheniramine / dextromethorphan / pseudoephedrine

"Fast recovering."


"I've had nexplanon for almost three months. I got it inserted a week before my normal cycle. I was period free for a week and a half. Then I had light bleeding for three weeks straight, I read reviews before getting it put in so I was aware that it may cause irregular bleeding. After bleeding three weeks straight I was period free for a week then had more spotting for close to two weeks. Then I was free for about 6 days then here I am spotting again. My doctor said to wait it out if I experienced irregular bleeding bc that was very common in the first few month until your body is use to it. I have caught myself getting upset and emotional over the simplest things. And I am still experiencing soreness in my arm where it was injected."


"This pill has made me so emotional. I'll be crying over the most pointless things and can't seem to control my emotions. I was never like this before, although it has lightened my periods."


"I developed restless leg syndrome at 40 although had a bit of it when I was younger I am now up to 3 mg twice a day no help no relief any longer and like the first person posted I became addicted to gambling and it change my personality completely. And now I'm at a loss of what to do"


"During the nine months I was on the shot I had a constant period, sometimes heavy, sometimes light. I was tired all the time and began to have suicidal thoughts, which I've never had before. I had crazy mood swings and would start crying for no reason at all. I switched to Nuvaring and all my symptoms have gone away. I know the shot works for many people, but clearly it's not for me!"


"With the first  shot I could touch my toes ,but it only lasted seven days. I am on second shot and it has been ten days and it's still working. I wake up at 5 every morning feeling refreshed. I look forward to my shot."


"I love Seroquel! After suffering with insomnia for approximately 30 years, and 2 years of depression, I have finally found a medication that lets me sleep through the night. Plus, I enjoy the groggy and relaxed feeling that I have the following day, although my doctor says that a lot of his patients do not like this feeling."


"I just started taking Belviq 7 days ago. So far I have not experienced any troublesome side effects. I will say that I have felt tired and in the first days I did have a slight headache. Other than that it's been easy. Also I started out at 255lbs and now am at 247lbs. So I guess it's working."


"I am a type l diabetic 45yrs of age. I have been on Synthroid for several years (now about 13) since I became a diabetic. I had a hysterectomy two years ago. I have been on Vivelle patches, Estradol, Premarin and for the longest Enjuvia and just recently changed to Estragel. For the last six months I have been experiencing lifeless hair, breaking off. I have never experienced anything like this. I am very frustrated."


"I've been on Topamax since 2010. I started taking 50 mg but I was given the generic and had a really bad allergic reaction to it. My skin broke out and I had to see a dermatologist. I was eventually given Topamax (the brand name) and I no longer had the allergic reaction.  The 50 mg wasn't strong enough and eventually I ramped up to 200 mg. I had weight loss in the beginning (close to 90 lbs, which I could afford). I've gained about 20 of it back but I've not lost any since. I do feel that I get somewhat spacey and suffer from some memory loss.  I've asked my doctor if I can come off of the medication beginning next year. I've been on it too long and I am concerned with the memory side effects."


"I have been on Asacol for 7 years and have only minor flare ups. I have had 3 "flares" in 7 years so I am a fan of Asacol. I take the max dose of 12 per day. I also have colitis. Thanks to insurance my cost is ONLY $200 a month."


"Took the pill about 45 minutes after mishap with my boyfriend. Suffered from indigestion and restlessness throughout the night, but didn't vomit until about 7 hours later. I vomited about 15 times total, ~ every 15-30 minutes whether I drank something or not. Now my entire body is in flu-like pain and my head is killing me. I can barely get out of bed without wanting to pass out or being in immense pain. The vomiting stopped after about 5 hours, but I can definitely say this has been one of the worst experiences of my life. I've only been on it for 1 day, so I can't comment on its contraceptive effects. I just wanted to make this post for anyone else suffering. It passes. Just keep yourself hydrated with small sips of Gatorade and water."


"I have been taking cimzia for my AS. I started 3 months ago and I haven't had a flare up."


"I have the rarest form of Gastrointestinal Disease that causes me to have constant nausea and this medicine works! I highly recommend it for anyone who is suffering from nausea and vomiting."


"I used Rhofade for about 2 weeks before I started to have problems. Initially, I thought it was awesome but then I started to have a break out of red bumps that stung like crazy. I tried adding more Rhofade but it only made it worse...much worse. My face still stings even though I stopped using Rhofade. I hope I didn't do any permanent damage."


"This is awful. My vagina burned to the point I could only fall asleep with a wash cloth between my legs."


"I can almost eat/drink normally now that I'm on Carafate Suspension 4x per day. I only have a flare up 1-2x per month now, mainly when I've been eating poorly or have come into contact with bacteria, etc. I take it in conjunction with Nexium & Librax because I have acid reflux, bile reflux, irritable bowel syndrome and GERD."


"Bad at best"


"I have been on this medication for about 3 months now and am down 19 pounds - I was super excited at the beginning but I haven't lost anything in about 2 weeks even with increased exercise;  I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this.  I am having a terrible side effect which I haven't read that anyone else is having and wonder if maybe it is out of the ordinary.  I have terrible gas (burping) that smells so foul it wakes me up in the middle of the night.  The only way I can control this is with pepto bismol;  I wonder if I am the only one who experiences this.  I can live with the side effect because of the weight loss."


"Been on Otezzla for about 6 months. The first few months I thought my prayers had been answered. My skin cleared up by 75 percent in 3 months. I have psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.  My pain had decreased as well. I did have stomach issues, severe headaches and major pressure in my ears and can hardly hear! The medication has quit working. Not clearing up my scales or itching at all! And the pain! The pain in my fingers,  elbows and feet is worse than ever. I'm up all during the night from joint pain, now have nerve pain in my feet and cannot open a bottle of water in the mornings. Very sad this didn't work out because I refuse to take immune suppression medication."


"I have anxiety and did not realise till I took only a 1/4 of my 25ml tab how much it was effecting me. Today I have felt more able and productive and had a day without anxiety feels amazing. I did have at least 2 memorable dreams that night. I have noticed a slight dry mouth and eyes. This being said I do have ckd and will be going back to docs to make sure kidneys are not being affected and also to ask for the liquid version of this as the other ingredients list more to my preference.... no colour additives from what I've read."


"I was 210lbs and only 5'3".  I was tired all the time and getting depressed.  I started taking phentermine last July and didn't really watch what I ate, but I did walk everyday 2-4 miles.  By November, I had lost 50lbs and weighed 160lbs.  I felt really good.  I just received phentermine today to start taking again, because I want to lose 30lbs more.  This is an excellent diet pill to take.  I would recommend it to anyone."


"Apri was awful. My periods before I started taking the pill were 4/5 days then when I started, my periods became 16 days long. I was depressed. I gained a lot of acne when previously my skin was clear. I was on it for 5 months but the negative side effects were so clear. It absolutely wasn't worth it. With that said, it is an effective birth control option, just not for me"


"This medicine was a lifesaver for me. I no longer experience migraines or headaches and can function as a regular human being and I feel like I have a new lease on life. I was getting 3-5 migraines a week and now I am not getting any."


"I was diagnosed with narcolepsy in 1998.  I have been on Cylert, amitriptyline, Ritalin, ambien, and now Provigil.  The Provigil is a life saver. I did lose weight on it at first, but have leveled off and have not lost any weight since then. I have taken Provigil for 2 years now.  It is not an "upper" and does not make me feel drugged.  I take 200 mg in the morning.  It does not wake me up, it helps me maintain the wakefulness that I need to get through the day. Without Provigil, I would not have a normal life. I am thankful to have found this drug.  I would, however, like a generic to it that would help to offset the exorbitant cost of the drug."


"I have spinal stenosis and terrible night sweats. I hadn't slept through the night in over a year.  My MD prescribed gabapentin 300mg nightly. I slept through the night with the first dose.   I feel like a human being again."


"Eyes get blurry, get severe Migraine's, itchy bumps on my head & neck. Coughing starts up like I have a chest cold.

My doctor is trying  to find one that works for me. So far Simvastatin & Pravastatin do the same thing to me. I'm Allergic  to both of these."


"This made my 11th episode with gout in 9 months. Very painful. The Dr., put me on  gout meds that begin with the letter C., and Allpurinol.  I keep getting these flares in my feet and ankles with a lot of swelling!
So far so good on the combined treatments for Gout all ng with alternating heat/cold and rest with plenty of water and rest.
For anyone whom hasn't had Gout you don't want it as it's the most painful thing I've gone thru with!"


"I took theophylline as a child for 5 years, and it's hard for me to give it a rating. It saved my life. I had asthma so bad that nothing else could control it, and there were no alternatives available then. However, it has damaged my heart, and I now must take a Beta-Blocker daily to control my chronic tachycardia. Someday, my heart may wear out sooner than it should have. But I guess if I hadn't been on theophylline, I wouldn't have made it to age 11. If there is any alternative that can work for you, please try it first. If this is literally your lifesaver, then the long term heart effects are worth the trade off. Not everyone who takes this long term gets heart damage, but it's very likely. It's rarely prescribed due to this."


"Took it over three days, caused headaches but I continue to take it as I need it. If it does not get better, I may get another antibiotic."


"Had a lumpectomy for Stage I Advanced Breast Cancer followed by radiotherapy. Then was put on each of the aromatase inhibitors, letrozole and the other one. Basically I was unable to continue either after 10 days due to increasingly debilitating dizziness, nausea, crying, etc. Then put on tamoxifen, and I developed lymphodoema. So tamoxifen was discontinued but still have moderate lymphodoema. Then put on aromasin. Initially able to tolerate it but increasing light-headedness (four minor car accidents) and debilitating joint pain (everywhere), poor sleep somewhat countered with Lyrica. I had already been diagnosed with widespread arthritis in the joints and the pain with aromasin has been intolerable so discontinued, against medical advice."


"Removed my mania symptoms and I've never felt like I'm going back to the highs. Helped with depression but this is along side vigorous exercise. Take it at night 250mg and I sleep all night. Unfortunately the biggest side effect I have is extreme tiredness the next morning and it can last a few hours. It feels like a minor hangover each day."


"I was diagnosed with LUPUS on March 9, 2009 and put on Cellcept. I do have some of the side effects which I am working through. Hopefully this will be my answer to a long and happy life."


"I've been on this for two weeks. I went to my doctor because I was experiencing anxiety and worry way to often, for too long. I tried to manage it on my own, but the feelings persisted. I made an appointment for a psych, but the wait was three months. I assumed I had to go to a psych for medication management but a friend told me my doctor could prescribe something.  My doctor gave me a script for 7.5 mg twice a day. Soon after, the constant knot in my stomach and consistent worry subsided. I see that people say it takes a while for this to work, but I feel like I had pretty quick results. I have had no side effects on this med thus far."


"Hi
I got the implanon 4 weeks ago and I got my period in the 3rd week. My period was really light and very very minimal cramping"


"I'm 51 years old and have been dealing with chronic pain last 20 years. Put on MsContin 60mg 3 times day, it's long lasting but pain sill comes through. Dr. added 10/325 Percocet for break through pain. Made my life liveable. Give it a 10."


"After having osteopenia progress to osteoporosis  and not tolerating oral medications, my doctor suggested Reclast. I had my first infusion on Dec 26, 2015 and within days suffered incapacitating  pain in my hands. It was so bad, I couldn't hold a toothbrush without tears due to the pain. Additionally, I started to have severe upper jaw pain. The hand pain has improved but not gone away entirely. The jaw pain has not resolved at all, making it hard to chew.   I would not recommend this drug to anyone and would NEVER, NEVER use it again."


"I was prescribed this medicine because I have weight issues, I can gain weight but I lose it fast. So my friend told me years ago about it , so I told my doctor . I took it on February 10th, I was 113 now it's Monday the 15 I'm 119. So yes it does work and I'm also over the sleepiness. I love it no bloated gut at all ."


"I highly suggest people not try this medication. I was only on it for 8 weeks and had horrible memory problems that I am still working through. This medication has caused me to be out of work for going on 7 months now. The doctors keep telling me it not this medication, but I know it is since this is the only anxiety med I took that caused memory problems. The prescribing doctor made no mention of memory loss as a side effect. I am on a special diet now to stimulate my memory, along with going to therapy to get my memory back. Scariest time of my life. I feel like a zombie right now."


"Nausea, night tremors."


"Lashes are much longer and fuller. No side effects."


"Cymbalta seems to really help with my low back pain & feet & legs neuropathy."


"Given by a dentist for a dry socket. This medication was the only one we tried that actually took away the pain without the drowsiness or confused feeling normally experienced with pain medications. I would recommend it 100%."


"Zyprexa changed my life.  Before the medication I was suicidal, I had a very difficult time with everyday life.  I was tearing my family apart.  I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder in December 2002. My life has been much more stable, my relationships with family members has improved dramatically.

"


"Very good for nausea and shaking."


"I had the implant put it around late Aug 2015 after having to go under an abortion. I didn't want to run a risk of getting pregnant again so I gave the implant a try. I gave the implant a try because the other forms of birth control weren't working for me. For example the IUD gave me unbearable mensural cramps, something I never had prior to the implant. The regular everyday pills worked fine, however there would be times when I would forget and this is what essentially got me pregnant. Not my first rodeo though, I'm 24 and I got pregnant for my first time when I was 17, I had an abortion then too... After the implant, I gained 30 pounds in a matter of 4 months. I had it removed, never have I been this big in my life. I blame the implant."


"Have had severe acne for a long time and worked very well to clear up acne entirely with a few months. Unfortunately as soon as I go off of it, the acne slowly comes back. Still works amazing while on it though."


"Was put on this pill after I came off microgynon after 5 years as it made me insane. I've been on loestrin for 3 months and will be changing as soon as I can. I have been having the most severe nightmares on this pill and I am woken up every night in a tizz. Also my boobs have grown a cup size which is good, but I have also gained weight and can't seem to shift it. Feel constantly fat. Also all my life I have had essentially perfect skin but since being on this pill my skin is constantly greasy which has resulted into spots. On the plus side, mood is generally good and no pregnancys but the nightmares are too big of a deal to carry on"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"It works but it's awful and I will never take it again if it's the only thing available I will never have another colonoscopy. And it's expensive to cost us $121.04. I paid $21.88 co-pay."


"I was diagnosed with Pemphigus years ago.  I was given all sorts of medication and this was the only one that got me a relief.  After 1-2 applications, my sores disappeared.  I used the ones given as samples to the specialist who treated me for the problem.  I used Synalar on my face and received intradermal shots in my head to take care of the numerous sores on my scalp."


"Due to a lung transplant I have been on Myfortic for just under a year. During this time I've had two high potassium episodes where I was hospitalized due to eating to many dark green vegetables. Even with the side effects this drug along with Prednisone and Prograf have proven very effective."


"Okay so it was my never first time using Plan B so I was already afraid. Somehow the condoms we used weren't very good and continuously popped. So here I am freaking out because the only thing I'm thinking about is me being pregnant. So I rush to the store and buy plan b luckily it was in stock. I didn't get any side affects from it I don't think. except some stomach pains here and there but I think it was more axienty than anything. My period came on the expected date. Now it says that women over 165 lbs that take plan b, it won't work. everyone is different and I'm well over 165 and it worked for me."


"In a week my face went from nasty severe acne vulgaris to perfectly clear. I have acne scars and a week later they even went away so in 2 weeks my face was clear as could be. I've been fighting acne for years. "


"I started Metformin 500 mg. 2 weeks ago and started .6 of Victoza 9 days later. My doctor gave me enough meds (Victoza) for 4 months! I've dropped 12lbs but I feel horrible.  Fatigue,  nauseated and can't even stand the smell of food.  My fasting numbers were 270's and now they're low 140's and 130's.  I hope the horrible side effects resolve so these numbers will stabilize and I can drop at least  30 more pounds!"


"Has anyone taking dilantin ever experienced nipple tenderness?  I have only been taking it for a month at 200mg qhs.  All of the sudden a few days ago both nipples started to increase in tenderness and I have not ever experienced this.  I am a 31 year old female with multiple diagnosis and was just hoping for someone to talk to.  Thanks."


"In my 30's, energy levels dropped and  found life more challenging.  I would wonder how I could get through the day.   I took adderall  but could feel that it wasn't right.  I guess it felt too much of a party drug.  After a few doses, I actually just felt, I suppose buzzed, not able to complete tasks.  Perhaps the dose wasn't high enough?  I went to my doctor with a list of meds. and notes.  He picked up on straterra, which wasn't top.  The instructions said it may take a month to work! It was instant!  I am less irritable, have more mental energy.  My brain must have been tired and my thoughts are more positive than negative.  I have all the side effects, inconsistently.  They are far outweighed by ++.  Also try matcha green tea!!"


"I have polycystic ovarian syndrome. I have been using Depo since I was 15, and I am 17 now. Even when I took the pill (which regulated my periods), my periods were abnormally heavy and I did not want to deal with it. I like using Depo a lot. I have taken a bone density test about 3-6 months ago and my bones were great; you just have to make sure you are taking calcium and vitamin D. The only negative side of using Depo for me are the mood swings that happen after I get the shot and last for about a week or two. I don't get any other PMS symptoms and I have NEVER spotted. ALTHOUGH this is important: DO NOT be late on taking your shot! I did that ONCE and I had my period."


"I have struggled with addiction my whole life and no matter how I try cannot abstain for long on my own. Methadose had made this a walk in the park. I have my life back. I can be in the moment and experience life (good or bad) as it comes. I consider Methadose a life saver."


"Day five of the medication and it appears to be healing my "chronic" sinus infection.  Have much of the same mild side effects such as diarrhea, restlessness and dizziness.  After a round of amoxicillin and a round of Augmentin to no avail, I feel I am geting the treatment that is necessary."


"I have had Crohn's disease for 19 years and have been on many different medications. I have been hospitalized 6 times, where they shut down the colon to leave it to rest (no surgeries).  I have taken Imuran for 7 years and until last month have only had 4 flareups to account for, my doctors put me on a steroid  (not something that you want to take a lot of). For me this is usually about a 2-3 month process.  Unfortunately, my thyroid has gone from hypo to hyper and my Crohn's disease and blood pressure is out of control.  So my doctors have suggested I try Remicade...I have just had my second infusion, still taking Imuran, and 30mg of steroid, hoping to see some results soon."


"Caused colitis, abdominal pain and diarrhea. I only had a foot ulcer and this was too strong.  "


"I have had rheumatoid arthritis for 10 years, was in remission in my early 30s and around 32/33 began having serious pain and swelling in my hands.  I also began to have severe pain in my hips and wrists last Summer, 2011 to Fall. Began taking Meloxixam in October of 2011 and once very slight flare up in my thumb in the first week and since?! Absolutely no PAIN! I'm still a bit in shock, but will not "look a gift horse in the mouth"."


"I had a terrible supposedly rare reaction to the protein in this medication.  Every joint in my body was swollen and so painful that I couldn't even stand a sheet touching me.  It took about 5 days for the symptoms to recede."


"Amazing medicine! I've had GERD for 14 years. I've been on Aciphex for 10 years. No other medicine has ever come close to touching how effective this is for me. When my insurance stopped paying for it, I tried Prevacid. It did not help me at all. I had to try it for two weeks and if it failed to help, my insurance agreed to pay for Aciphex. That was the most miserable 2 weeks of my life. Constant burning reflux was all my days were filled with. I was so happy when I got to get back on Aciphex! I have no reflux symptoms whatsoever with it. If GERD is making your life miserable, give it a try!"


"I have a bulging disc on my L5 that is pinching my sciatic nerve. Arthrotec started working right away. I only take one a day. No side effects yet."


"My problems with it: Bled for 4 or 5 months straight completely irregular period and spotting throughout (plus discharge on a daily basis), HORRIBLE migraines at least once or twice a week. At the most every day for a week and I had never had even a small headache before this birth control. I have gained 20 pounds. I'm naturally small and lost all my weight after having my child with no effort so this is strange for me. No sex drive, horrible depression, anxiety and mood swings, insomnia, nausea, face break out (never even had a zit), and horrible muscular pain. Getting it out."


"I got on the shot July 6th. Two weeks after I got the shot I had my period and it has been six months of me bleeding non-stop. I would bleed heavy some days and light other days, but not once have I went a day without bleeding. Doctor keeps telling me its normal and I know it can't be. My back hurts so bad sometimes I can't stand straight and these contractions.. I mean cramps are worse than my pregnancy. I'm an excercizing maniac and I still can not get rid of my lower stomach and I have a personal trainer. Refuse to do the third shot."


"I have an ingrown toenail infection and on the first dose it started to feel better, but, not any better with next 4 doses. However, I ate as directed but on dose 4 it felt like I had what felt like a bubble under my left upper back and front ... as if I needed to belch but when I did the pain went go away for about 30 seconds and came right back. It really felt like I was having heart issues.  I was suppose to take 500 mg 3 times daily for 7 days. I cannot get the 3rd dose in a day, but, I felt horrible ... headaches too. I'm not going to take anymore and I'll call Dr. tomorrow."


"Take the shot once a month for knee pain. It helps a lot and I could feel the difference in just hours."


"I'm laying in my bed at 2:55 a.m with an ice cold wash cloth cooling my vagina. I'm trying to soothe what feels like the fires from hell coming from within me! I'm 7 1 /2 months pregnant, with gestational diabetes and this is one of only 3 yeast infections I've ever had in my 21 years of living. My OB/GYN recommended the Monistat 3 day to me before treating me with a prescription.  I'm calling him first thing tomorrow to tell him to stick his bits in a meat grinder and pour gasoline on it because that would be the equivalent to the pain I'm currently feeling! I followed all of the directions exactly and I read that there could be minor burning as a side effect but this is not minor! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT!"


"Worse pain and total lack of movement."


"I switched from Pristiq which was keeping me up at night. My initial dose was 50 mg. it was hell the first week: crying spells panick attacks but my doc promised it will improve. After I bumped it up to 100 mg the hell got worse; panick attacks& anxiety were unbearable but I kept telling myself to stick with it. So, I did until the end of week 2 on higher dose when I was hospitalized with seizures due to serotonin syndrome. Still taking Ativan 1 mg every 5-6 hours for seizures. Not a good experience."


"This medication is absolutely life changing.  After years of suffering anxiety  OCD with mostly intrusive racing thoughts that caused insomnia this medication was a miracle!! I had tried so many failed medications and therapies that I became hopeless. I was prescribed this medication after being hospitalized and have never been back that was over 2 years ago. It took 4 weeks to work please give it time. I feel like I have my life back!"


"I was taking Cymbalta for 2 1/2 months (along with Lamictal, which I still take) to get rid of the depressive side of bipolar.

It made me super down and extremely on edge for weeks. I was on 20mg."


"Some leg cramps ,increased heart rate. All thyroid problems resolved."


"I have about 8-10 migraines a month that leave me hugging the toilet, and/or  hiding in the dark closet with a pile of blankets.

 Today was the first time they tried anything other than Excedrin Migraine. Toradol! A shot :-\...Oh my, for the first time since 2008 I don't have pain in my back and neck.  She said it would not make me tired but I just spent a nice 4 hr nap in zero pain. Yes, the injection had a mild heat like pain for a few minutes. But to feel like this is pretty much awesome!"


"I am 30 yrs old and had a T-test done because I have had the following problems; I had gotten more cranky than normal, had been on medicines for depression for about 3 yrs with not much success, was tired or worn out, hot flashes or something similar to them, low sex drive. Anyways got my results back and my level was only 84. I could not believe that at only 30 I was having to deal with this. Been taking this for a week and can already tell a big difference. It smells like hand sanitizer and goes away quick, easy to use but expensive. I will update as I progress."


"I'm 14 and I have been suffering from acne since I was 11.5, over the years it got bad so mum got me Proactiv and Clearasel and other acne creams and they did work to a point but they would come back with more and more redder and all over my body! I had had enough so I went to my doctor and he gave me this tablet and it's completely changed my life I am acne free! I was taking them once a day (50g) for six months! And I saw a difference in about the first to 4 weeks. When it cleared up my doctor told me to stay on them because the hormones might not have been settled yet."


"I wanted shorter periods and had breast pain on my old pill, so I asked for a low dose bc. I'm on month 4 of this pill and want to be off it desperately. Pack 1, I got a 1 day period and got excited. Pack 2, in the second week I spotted a lot, then got a 2 day period on schedule. Pack 3, I spotted for 2 weeks and then had heavier spotting for a period. I'm almost through the first week of pack 4 and still bleeding, although it is way lighter than my previous periods on a different pill. I can't deal with this bleeding. My dr said give it 4 months and here we are. I am asking to be put on my old bc asap, I'll put up with the sore boobs!."


"Works great especially if u take it early in outbreak. Duration of sores and severity greatly muted by early use."


"So I was put on the birth control Kariva and I never got pregnant and it was the only form of birth control I used, so in that effect it worked. However, I experienced severe migraines that were bad enough. They checked me for a tumor, decreased sex drive, tired, nervous, dizziness, weight change, appetite change, and numbness on the left arm and hand. I have been off this birth control for just a few weeks and I am already feeling back to normal. "


"I was told to take this four times a day for three days, but after taking just two, I started having side effects. The first day I had to go to bed as I had a throbbing headache, upper stomach pain and feeling sick. I have been advised to carry on taking it and have two tablets left. While on this medication, I have felt so so tired. I have fallen asleep on the sofa midday a few times. Not to mention a constant headache throughout. Neon pee too, which took me by surprise. Cannot wait for this to be out of my system. However, my UTI symptoms have almost gone."


"I developed constipation when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and diverticulosis 2 years ago. I currently have samples from my gastro Dr. but prescription with my insurance it's $30. I was VERY constipated this morning and decided today was the day to try one of the samples. You have to take this medicine on an empty stomach. Popped pill, made breakfast and felt movement before I finished eating. Thought I would have diarrhea, but instead was smooth and normal. What a relief. It was about 30-40 mins from time I took pill to bowel motion. I think I will go fill my prescription now. Hope the rest of the day goes well and no side effects. I do hear mild gurgling. Also, I did add powdered fiber to my coffee because I made it before I decided to take medicine."


"I'm Bipolar and suffer from panic attacks. I'm really impressed with how well clonazepam works. I take 0.5mg x 4 times daily.  I do feel a sense of calm and evenness with this medication which is important with my Bipolar disorder.  Highly recommended."


"This drug has been the best drug for me. It helps me with staying calm also helps me get to sleep better. They do say it can make you sleepy well it doesn't have this effect on me."


"I am diabetic also long time smoker who quit 5 years ago. Sex hasnt been right for a while. Got a prescription for 20mg tabs. Read about the side effects and decided to try cutting the pill in thirds. Had sex three hours later. Amazing! Like being 20 again. Tiny headache for an hour the next day. Seems to be working fine on the third day."


"I have chronic thoracic back pain. I've been through nerve blocks, acupuncture, physical therapy, 3 chiropracters, 2 orthopedic surgeons, 1 neurosurgeon, 2 pain doctor's. Vicodin, Percocet, Kadian (very expensive). Insurance refused to pay anymore finally switched to oxycodone. Still have breakthrough pain with to much physical activity. "


"I am on day 4 still waiting for complete relief. Have been ill.  Have suffered both constipation and diarrhea, but mostly, still have sinus and headaches."


"this drug I rate 10/10 because it wakes your brain up from the dead anxiety isn't that simple, it slows you from growing mentally and expanding because it becomes apart of your life and you lose focus on everything else. I found this to be a miracle drug for anxiety. Not so much for depression because it can cause suicidal thoughts to some degree. Prozac changed my life and career I could not be more satisfied with the result of decreased anxiety."


"I use Advil cold and sinus very sparingly for when I get the worst combination of debilitating sinus headache and earache. It is the only thing that takes away the pain that makes me want to sleep all day long for days on end.  It improves my quality of life from bottom of the barrel to functioning with only minor discomfort. I try to only take the bare minimum dose, just to take the edge off. If that is ineffective after several hours, I may layer it with another one. If that is still ineffective, then several hours later I will take two together.  Never have tea or coffee when you take these because it is a "speedy" medication and not "sleepy". It is great if you have to function, such is going to work versus calling off."


"I've used ambien for a couple months, probably 2 out of 3 days, and it works great.  It makes me able to fall asleep but doesn't knock me out.  It prevents me from waking up repeatedly for no reason, but I can still wake for a phone call.  I wake up in a shorter time feeling more refreshed than normal.  I didn't do anything funky in my sleep either (no strange women or empty fridges so far).  "


"I first tried Lo loestrin Fe and it made me feel crazy. I switched to a triphasic birth controls and tried trinessa and tri-sprintec but had an even worse experience. I was unbelievably nauseous when I first started and threw up several times. Every first week of each month I was dizzy and felt like I was in a fog and the rest of the weeks I was so nauseous that I couldn't eat, go to the gym, or do anything. I switched to minastrin and it was such a life saver. I didn't experience any nausea at all, I never felt dizzy, and I felt very emotionally stable. The only downside of this birth control is that I bled for 2 weeks if I took the pill 30 min late & I started getting ridiculously hungry after a few months and was gaining weight"


"Due to a switch to a generic brand birth control by the pharmacist, my acne flared like a raging fire. I am almost 30, and it was painful and embarrassing. I have tried numerous topicals when I was younger, but this one is by far the best! I apply it to my face only at night. As recommended by my doctor, I mix my regular face cream with it to provide extra moisture! As a result, I have not had any of the mentioned face peeling/drying issues. I also spot treat my acne scars with Vitamin E cream that makes them fade significantly quicker."


"I was given Reglan through IV after another medicine failed to help with my nausea. It worked and I never noticed any side effects."


"Im 25 years old and I have had a weight problem my entire life.  For the last 8 years I have lost and gained weight like crazy. My doctor put me on Tdiet 30mg on April 1, 2009 when I hit 292 pounds.  I am currently on the 37.5 mg Adipex tablet and I am down to 244 pounds.  I feel phenomenal.  After learning I had an under active thyroid about a year ago, I had really started to feel like crap everyday and the weight just kept packing on.  I feel 16 again and more self-confident.  The worst of the side effects were the dry mouth (chew sugar free gum to help), nausea at first (take an antacid), headaches at first, increased anxiety (totally worth it anyway, constipation, and I am easily agitated).  Good luck."


"This drug got me well when NOTHING else would.  I had been sick for four months and had seen countless specialists and taken many prescription drugs and inhalers.  Nothing worked until I took this drug and Qnasl.  I was well in one week!!!  I believe it worked miracles."


"I had been on Keppra, and Vimpat  100mg twice a day,  and it controlled my seizures well for about a year.  I then started having seizures, Then the doctors increased the dosage to 175mg twice a day, and Keppra EX 1500 mg at bed time. I became like a zombie, dizzy, fell twice and bruised my head. I attributed the symptoms, to Overdose of Vimpat at one time.  I started cutting the Vimpat pills 175mg in half, and spacing them six hours apart and now I am active,  no dizziness, no falling. So far, I have not had my hair fall out as others have reported. I called the doctors to tell him the above, but he's on vacation,  I  can't find anything on cutting the pills,  and spreading the dosage as I have done."


"My son was put on this mediicne when he was ten,  he is autistic and was showing signs of schizophrenia.  He was on 1.5mg but now has 1 mg daily.  It worked wonders within two weeks.  He is now not withdrawn and anxious and back to his happy self. He also doesn't imagine things that didn't happen.  He did put on a few kilos when he started the medication but now is tall and slim."


"I've been on Seasonique (generic Camrese) for almost 9 years!! This drug is great. I got on it when it was new to the market. I take it at night and NEVER miss a dose. I've never had any spotting between periods and sometimes I skip 2 quarters, meaning I have 2 periods a year. Even my OBGYN can't believe it's still working, she says many women's bodies just won't let them stay on this drug for long. Until I'm ready to start a family, Seasonique is the birth control for me. No more heavy periods, cramps, mood swings, or missed work. I also save on feminine products, when I do have a period its light and usually 2 days. My advice, give it a try, take it at the same time everyday (I have 2 alarms). Hopefully it will work for you too !"


"Overall, I have had a very positive experience with this medication. It is a little pricey though. It has helped me look good when I need to."


"I have been on Celexa for about two months now and the first two days I had insomnia really bad, but then it got better as time went on. My depression is somewhat balanced, but I do have continued anxiety and stress.
I went to my Doctor's today and had my weight checked and in less than a month I have gained 12 lbs; I was shocked! I was told it could be from the Celexa, so now I'm slowly weaning myself off of that as I try my new medication; Wellbutrin. All in all, Celexa is good, and if it weren't for the weight gain I would have stayed on it. Everybody's body is different and it just wasn't the right medication for me."


"I started taking Copaxone soon as I was diagnosed. I don't like the red welts and stinging but my doctor prescribed me spray to put on before I inject and it helps. I don't have much fat so I have the indentions and bruising. But I had not had any new lesions on it! But I decided I would stop taking it and was off it for 5 months and had a MRI and have more lesions so it does work! I'm back on it now hope my next MRI proves it works."


"Finished 3 loading doses over past month, now on monthly maintenance.  Psoriasis on hands/elbows/feet still bad and my pain from psoriatic arthritis still fairly bad, but I am more mobile tho it hurts to move. Tried methotrexate, Humira and Otezla in the past.  Sick with a cold, we'll see how this treatment goes.  Hoping for better results with more time."


"I have severe insomnia. I have gone 4 days at a time with no sleep at all. I have also experienced hallucinations when I go 3 to 4 days without a wink of sleep. I have tried Ambien without even a yawn. Restoril gave me bad nightmares, I would awaken by throwing myself out of bed. I have just started taking Trazodone 50mg (3days now) and it knocks me out. It is the first time in years that I have slept through the night. However I am experiencing side effects when I awaken that are lasting throughout the day. Headaches, neck ache and weak, rubbery legs. If the side effects do go away I would give it a 10."


"After trying SEVERAL different types of iron, this one was the only one that made me feel like my old self.  My lab values are finally slowly starting to climb.  I have been taking this for 6 months and still have a long way to go but I will stick with this brand."


"I have probably been battling this fungus, toenails and actually whole foot - -  dry and cracked heels always - - most of my adult life.  I am 60+.  I knew that topical wasn't for me.  I had several medical opinions over many years.  Some podiatrists would say I had fungus,  others would say not.  Finally diagnosed by NP in dermatologists office.  She put me on Terbinafine.   I have taken it every single day for 2 months so far.  This is very significant for me,  as I  hate taking medication.  Not drinking is easy.  Staying out of the sun is very hard.  I have called my derm's office to ask when I will see improvement.  Waiting for call back.  No perceived side effects, although maybe lack of energy?"


"After working 12hr shift work for our local Police Department, when you come home, you have what I guess nervous energy.  I have tried other medicines. However
"Ambien allows a deep sound-ful sleep."

"I was prescribed to take this for 10 days.  After 5 days I could not handle the side effects I experienced.  I was so exhausted, but the medicine made me so dizzy and nauseous that I couldn't sleep.  And when I did manage to get a few hours, I had the most vivid and bizarre dreams.  I was also taking Flagyl and developed oral thrush.  I would not take Levaquin again."


"This is the 2nd time I've taken Chantix.  I have learned a few things to watch for this time.  First, you MUST EAT when you take the medication.  If you don't eat, you will get sick.  Second, is that the dreams are so strange.  They aren't scary but they are vivid and odd.  This medication has worked well for me.  Stay on the medicine the full 90 days.  I quit smoking at day 10 both times.  Do remember that this drug doesn't work the same for everyone so be careful."


"Definitely helps with nasal allergy symptoms but the side effects are not worth it. Thankful to googling & finding this site because I thought I'ld have to take myself to the ER. Jittery, rapid heartbeat, anxiety either from Claritin or from worrying about the jittery uneasy feelings. Thanks to everyone who has shared here. I think I'll just suffer my allergy symptoms naturally."


"Sominex is a great night time sleep aide. One of the less costly options."


"I have neuropathy from chemotherapy treatment . The neuropathy is so bad that I can barely walk. I started this medication about 3 weeks ago. At this time it has  done nothing for me. I am taking 100 milligrams three times a day."


"I was on it for a few months and then started having really bad stomach problems. I went off of it three weeks ago and I'm still having terrible stomach problems to the point where I have to force myself to eat.
"


"I am 35 and have had extremely random menstrual cycles for as long as I have had a period.  I never know when the cycle will start, end or if it will be spotty or 5 gallons of blood.   I am on the 3rd month of this Microgestin 1.5/30 and I will not be taking it anymore.
The Microgestin has seemed to make my menstrual cycles right on schedule and with very little blood flow, however since week one, I have had the most painful ovarian cysts.  I have never had these before and it started on week one but the last several have ruptured closer to ovulation.  The first time I had to call the ambulance because I thought my appendices had burst.
After 2 months, I started forming a belly that looks very similar to a baby bump, but it is not."


"After several bouts with diverticulitis (at age 43) a colonoscopy was ordered. I've drank Barium before and it's much worse. The taste is like overly salted salt water with aluminum, windex and cherry flavored cough syrup. I recommend chilling the solution and keeping a hard candy in your mouth while sipping lemon water or sprite.
My belly was very swollen and distended and had a brutal headache- That could be from clear liquid only diet for the last 48 hours.
Suprep started clearing out after about 30 minutes. Still waiting for the second dose at 3am. Make your restroom comfy- blanket (as I had severe chills) step stool for your feet and laptop/tablet to bide your time. I tried to get up and lay in bed, but there's nowarning- stay in there"


"I was referred to a psychiatrist after having mood swings that caused me too have suicidal thoughts. Having a drinking problem for several years did not help it.  I would have one maybe two bottles of wine every day of the week and not even have an hangover in the morning. I have tried acupuncture to help me stop drinking that did not work.  Taking Antabuse was my last resort because I knew deep down if I went to the AA for help I would try to cut back but would soon slip back to my bad habits.  I have been taking Antabuse for two weeks and have found that I don't even want a drink, my life seems much brighter now and full of hope. There is light at the end of the tunnel and it gets brighter every day."


"I'm 51 years old. It has been difficult to maintain an erection for a long time, especially if we switch positions frequently.

I tried Viagra for the first time, last night, and all that I can say is, I'm sold! I got a nice, firm erection that was ready to do battle for at least 4 hours. I have no idea, beyond that, because I was tired and went to sleep. What was surprising was that some 8 hours after taking it, upon waking, I was ready to go at it again with a moments notice, just as firm as the night before. That was fantastic. My doctor prescribed 100 mg; however, after reading this forum, I cut the pill in half. 50 mg was the perfect dose! My partner loved it! She was very happy.

I was able to get a coupon to try 3 pills for free."


"I suffer from mainly depression and anxiety.  I have had a few bouts of hypomania.  This was recommended to me to help anxiety and mood swings.  Within an hour of taking this medicine I was always somewhat buzzed and not in a good way.  Like you have to lie down and sleep or you will become extremely irritable.  The sleep was great on it, however you wake up in a fog for hours.  Usually until dinner time for me.  It really flattens you out so you don't feel much but emotionless and tired.  I took anywhere from 50 to 200 mg and the result was the same.  I am off now and trying safer meds.  Seroquel wasn't for me, glad it helps millions though!"


"I was on Advair for about five years and was able to breathe easily almost immediately after starting it.  Before Advair, I used albuterol 6-10 times daily.  I used to take the 500/50 Advair only once per day.  Using it twice a day didn't make a difference in breathing, so that saved some money.  I never had a thrush problem; actually, I never rinsed out my mouth at all.  The reason I'm not using it any longer is the HUGE cost.  My insurance is no longer covering it and I cannot afford over $300 for just one diskus.  Am now taking Singular and am back using the albuterol rescue inhaler 6-7 times a day."


"I have had RLS for 25 years, and within the past two years has gotten much more uncontrollable.  Ten years ago I took Requip for awhile, but the drowsiness during the day was a bother, and the RLS wasn't much improved.  Last month I started on Mirapex and the relief from RLS was almost immediate.  I'm currently taking .250 mg. two hours before bedtime.  The only bothersome side effect has been some increased urination urges during the night.  I haven't noticed any problems with dizziness but I do have occasional Benign Positional Vertigo anyway, so it certainly isn't any worse.  Overall, I would say Mirapex has done the trick."


"Amazing diet pill. I don't usually give reviews but I had to share my experience. I have been overweight for a very very long time. I've tried numerous diets and workouts but I haven't been able to shed the extra weight. Within 1 week on Belviq I noticed a difference and so did my friends and co-workers. At week two I had to take my belt down a notch. This is my third week and it feels amazing."


"This was my second colonoscopy, as the first one, the prep was not sufficient.  That was with the PEG solution.  This stuff worked much better for me with the split dose.  I took the first dose at 6:00 PM the night before.  It tastes like cough syrup.  Some say to drink with a straw, I just chugged the whole thing as fast as I could, then drank some Gatorade.  No big deal for me.  Took about 45 min for first bowel motion, then a long gap, and about 5 hours later, the "volcano" started.  My scope was scheduled for 7:00 AM, so I had to take the next dose at 2:00, that worked faster, but basically was up most of the night.  It's really not that bad.  The worst part with all these preps is the amount of liquids you have to consume."


"I'm 32 and i've had crohns now for 14 years. Remicade was a god send but only for a limited time. I started off like everyone else with i. V every 8 weeks. Then after a couple of years it was wearing off faster so then every 6 weeks. Then every 4 weeks then it was back on the steroids along with the 4 week treatment. Well after 6-7 years on remicade it wasn't working anymore. I do recommend it because I would give anything right now to get those 6 years back because even though I was became immune to it I felt 20 times better then compared to now. Since the remicade nothing has worked for me since."


"I have tried it several times in the past but have the same results. It does not control the steady flow of post nasal drip causing me to feel nauseated. I have better results taking 4 hour generic Benadryl."


"I'm a mom of an 8 month old. I took Subutex during my whole pregnancy and was told it was okay to breatfeed. My son was born perfectly normal, is the cutest baby alive and is hitting milestones right on schedule. Subutex saved my life and so did my son."


"I really wish the Mirena worked for me because I loved it... for a while. My body just plain didn't like it. I had it for a year and the last 4 months were horrible. I had about 12 yeast and bacteria infections that my doctor had no explanation for (I had never had them before). At a follow up ultrasound due to ovarian cysts they noticed my Mirena had become displaced and decided to remove it. PAINFUL in one word- because it had become implanted in my cervix.  After it was removed the infections stopped miraculously. I really, really wish my body had accepted the Mirena because I liked the worry-free birth control it offered. I will definitely try it again after I have kids and hopefully these problems wont happen again."


"I've been on 50 mg of brand Topamax for two years and the cognitive impairment is significant. I often forget how to spell my last name, I don't remember events of just yesterday, and I can't spell anything anymore for the life of me. I take it for Rapid Cycling Bipolar I & went off it for two weeks to attempt to get my cognition back - by about the 6th day I started to show signs of mania and by day 8 I was full blown manic with psychosis. I'd do anything to get off this brain mush of a drug but it serves a purpose. Oddly, I never went into psychosis until this drug. Oh, and the days that passed without Topamax lead to the worst headaches ever. Buyer beware."


"I've been using this for almost a month and my skin is extremely sensitive, red, and is peeling like crazy. When I began using this my skin broke out like crazy as well. I start school in 3 days and I am so embarrassed."


"First dose 25mg, first day, have not felt this good for 15 years.  Absolutely amazing effect on mood, energy level and pain.

Thank you to my very smart doctor."


"Since the beginning of the pollen season (Mid-March) in  Atlanta. I've been miserable with chest congestion/asthma that wouldn't go away with all the various things prescribed for me (Singulair, Combivent, Astepro N.S., Allegra and Avlesco, which gave me thrush within a couple of weeks) UNTIL Asmanex! It took about a week, but then one day I realized I was able to breathe easier and each day got better. I haven't needed the Combivent since I started to clear with the Asmanex. I'll ask my Asthma/Allergy doctor if I can stop the Singular (since I also have osteopenia borderline on osteoporosis).  My mom suggested I move to another state, but I won't have to if the Asmanex is able to get me through the Atlanta pollen seasons (March-May)."


"From the age of 10 I have suffered from terrible spots and acne. At age 15 I was at my worst. I had more acne than face! My gp prescribed me with the cream and after a few days I realised my spots were becoming alive and sore. The cream made my face dry and flaky. However two months into the treatment my face became almost fully clear and many people asked if I had skin surgery. This cream works wonders, however the initial few weeks are very horrible. Overall, if you're getting treatment for acne GET THIS CREAM! !"


"I have bacterial pneumonia with 2 spots on my lungs after the flu. Not much nasal involvement. Bad headache, body ache, fever and chills. Deep dry cough. Started Levaguin  by IV at the ER but within an hour I got hives on mouth and neck and slightly itchy all over, then 3 bouts of projectile vomiting.  Then tried Clavimycin but developed hives  after 2 days. Both meds helped me feel better and headache & fever went away.  Now on amoxicillin-clav 875, twice a day. Symptoms are very slowly improving. Only a bit of loose stool. Probiotics and bland diet help."


"I am taking pregabalin after suffering a clinically isolated syndrome, which left residual pins and needles and pain in my feet plus painful stiffness in the muscles above my knees. Was taking gabapentin but only helped a bit, still found walking uncomfortable. Am now taking pregabalin 75mg three times a day and have found this wonderful. I work full time in a busy pharmacy, this has helped me to continue my work and improved my life considerably. Am struggling with weight gain but it's worth it."


"I was taking Viorele for 2 months. Before taking Viorele my face was completely clear but since I've been taking it, my face is COVERED in painful acne  Other than the acne, the pill is great."


"I started taking this medication about four weeks ago for my acne. My dermatologist told me to go back in six weeks.  I haven't seen any improvements and my acne has gotten worse. I was only breaking out around my jawline and now I'm getting cystic acne underneath my mouth and forehead, where I didn't even get them before. Make sure to eat before taking this pills. I took them once without eating and I was throwing up. I can't wait to see my dermatologist, and tell her to put me on accutane."


"Totally useless drug. Took 100 mg/3 times a day for 5 days  Some relief from hacking cough for a few hours but cough returned much worse. Will see my MD tomorrow for another medication. Total waste of time with this medication."


"I was on Ortho Evra for 4 years and absolutely loved it!  I had no problems with it up until the last year.  I recommend this product 100%, if used like package states.  It's very easy to use and very convenient, I mean how easy is it to remember to switch it once a week?  Very effective as well!  I used it continuously (with no off week) because I had really bad headaches during my period week and loved it at first, until about 6 months later and I started have a lot of horrible cramping and breakthrough bleeding.  The cramps were more frequent than the bleeding, but just as annoying.  I talked with my doctor who told me I needed to force my body to have a period, so I tried that (took the patch off for a week) and that didn't help.  My doctor said that with this medication used continuously there isn't enough estrogen and the body can't handle that sometimes.  I am currently using Seasonique, which I haven't had any problems with yet.  I wanted to let everyone know of my experience, but that I still recommend the product, just not for continuous use."


"I noticed right away I was exausted, but didn't think anything of it. I have always been emotional so it didn't seem off that I randomly started crying. Once I hit 4 months I thought I burnt my tongue. Went to the doctor to make sure it was nothing like strep throat or anything. My tongue swelled to where I couldn't talk or eat, and it lasted about a week. Then this month the first week on the new pack I had the same problem. I know I haven't burnt my tongue as I have been too paranoid to eat anything hot. So I called the doctors office and was told it's odd, but it can happen.. so I will be picking up a new prescription today. Mean while I still have to wait for the swelling to go down."


"My husband took his first dose last month and is getting ready to take his second dose in a few days.  While I think the drug is working, the Patient Cost Support Program is difficult to deal with and we are still struggling to get reimbursement."


"After I started taking this medicine I started having crazy anxiety after my baby was born!!! I am the type to not take bc before preg so when the obgyn gave me this he told me to take it because you're real fertile. So then I got put on anti depressants but at the same time my anxiety had not gone away and also my blood pressure was getting higher!!! I decided to stop taking this medication after reading these reviews and wow I can't believe so many people have this experience! My first day off it and I'm starting to feel like myself and my blood pressure is getting to a normal level! This medication is dangerous!!!!"


"My 15 yr old son had moderate acne, mainly forehead, neck, and around his mouth. The dermatologist prescribed Atralin, as well as minocycline.  These are working, but it really took awhile to see the results, about 3 1/2 months! It's not totally cleared, but looks much less inflamed, and he doesn't have as many breakouts.  He also is a major athlete, so perspiration plays a big part too I'm sure!  So my advice is be very patient, and give the medicine a good amount of time, it also does get a little worse before it gets better!"


"Its great. I've been on Microgestin Fe 1/20 before and I was a train wreck. But now my periods are controlled. They last only 5 days compared to the 1.5 weeks when I wasn't taking anything. I haven't gained weight like I did with the other one and I am not so emotional. I feel normal except my sex drive really lowered and I get horrible cramps and bloats on my period. Which I never got before but I don't mind because I dont bleed as much."


"I've been on Norethindrone for probably 2 years. I never have periods unless I go *beyond* 3 hours after my usual time slot for taking it. You should take it within 1-2 hours same time every night. What I can say is I love having no periods.
However, I have little to no desire for sex. If you want to be celibate, take this pill and you won't care about sex, haha.
So, I can't say I take it to prevent pregnancy. Symptoms I seem to have often: Anxiety (though I've been on pill 24 years, all different brands, always had anxiety). I also have TMJ, depression and no interest in activities. I'm very lazy and a heavy smoker. Mood swings OFTEN. Quick temper. Wait? Maybe this is from the celibacy. "


"My mom caught the cold I have just beaten and it affected her much worse. After consulting a doctor/friend she recommended trying Mucinex 12 hour. At around 7 PM,  she took to 600 mg tablets. She reported being awake all night with heart palpitations, jitters, and a  pounding headache. She also threw up in the middle the night and feels nauseous again this morning. The cough is coming back as the Mucinex wears off.  The drug worked  to stop the coughing but the side effects can be hard on some."


"Combined with Cipro, it appears to be an effective treatment.  The unpleasant taste of the pill makes one apprehensive."


"I have IC of the bladder and it helped a bunch!!"


"I too started Pristiq after 17 years of being on antidepressants. I also have tried everything out there. I did not feel anything at all for the first 2 weeks. However, I started to have these slight body aches - never did I attribute this to the medicine. After another week on this medication, I also could not stay awake for longer than 2 hours at a time. I began having body aches. I could not make it through a day at work, I could barely get out of bed in the morning, and there was no way I could do my household chores. I had many blood tests ran and everything came back normal. I finally realized it may be the Pristiq and after just 3 days of being off of it, I was completely pain free and not tired."


"I have tried to quit many times and nothing worked. I have been on Chantix for 15 days and today is day 3 that I have not smoked. I smoked anywhere from a 1/2 to a pack a day and I am 29 years old and I have smoked since I was 15. It doesn't even make me want one and I cant believe that before 2 weeks of taking Chantix I have quit.  My sister even quit using Chantix and she has been a non- smoker for a couple of years now! YOU CAN DO IT USING CHANTIX!!!!"


"I have been taking this drug for about a year. I have lost 60 lbs. I made changes in my diet, but I am in no way deprived! I feel great. My fasting blood sugars went from about 150 to...96!!! I highly recommend this drug. I found a coupon online that makes it free with my insurance.Do a google search and talk to your pharmacist to see if you can find one."


"i find klonopin very usefull.it helps me feel less anxious then any med ive ever been on.i recommend it highly.only one thing of it bothers me and its the drowsiness."


"I had the Mirena put in 2 years ago. There are only 2 things I like about it.  One, it stays in for 5 years (unless you decide otherwise) and two, I don't bleed as heavy as I used to. Other than that I don't like it. I have severe cramping, horrible migraines the week before I start and the 5 days I'm on my cycle, I also have extremely crazy mood swings. I am thrilled to have it removed in a few weeks."


"I've never felt compelled to write a review for a medication before, but Wellbutrin XL saved my life. I suffered from chronic depression for years before I started taking Wellbutrin and within weeks it was as if the rain stopped and there's nothing but clear blue skies and sunshine since. Seriously. I cannot say enough good things about this medicine. The great thing about Wellbutrin (I take 150 MG) is that it doesn't make you feel zombie-like at all. I feel like a brighter, happier version of myself.

I also take 150 MG of Lamictal, which has also significantly helped as well. I highly recommend these medications to anyone suffering from bipolar depression. They have done wonders."


"I found out I had chlamydia on Friday, went into the doctors again today (monday) and was given two 500mg tablets to take. I drove to work straight after and I can't describe the pain I was feeling. I was laying down at work for 2 hours with the worst stomach pains I have ever experienced.  Ended up in the toilet with diarrhea and couldn't move. Still have cramping and am now at home laying in bed. Scared to eat now as I don't want to run back to the toilet. I hope this goes away. I have never felt so sick from taking medication but if the chlymidia is gone then I guess it's worth it."


"I have been on Yaz for about three years now and I love it. I have experienced great decrease in my PMS. I was a monster before starting Yaz and now I'm normal with occasional periods having slight mood swings or cramps. My boobs have grown and my acne has subsided. I get a few pimples every now and then commonly when my period comes. I do get some bloating but if I take something like Midol then I have none. I'm able to know exactly when my period starts. I have only experienced one occurrence in 3 years of using Yaz, of spotting when not missing a pill. I haven't noticed any weight gain due to the pill. The only thing I am worried about is the scare of blood clotting lately."


"I just started Celexa when my doctor put me on it about a week ago. We just couldn't win with my depression and all that entails for major depressive disorder, and I was feeling really depressed at the time. I'm on a low dose but only for about two weeks until we check it out. I've been diagnosed now for about 8 or 9 years, tried LOTS of anti-depressants. Even though I tried to work with them all, as a team me and the medicine, we just couldn't win with it the depression. My side effects of depression are a huge lack of energy, being angry often, usually at the whole world, so much stress and negativity, So much that I will say thanks to everyone who commented. I hope I have a lot to look forward to now based on all of the positive comments about Celexa."


"Diarrhea after 3 hours of taking it. Bad nausea for quite awhile along with general feeling of being run down. It was hard to eat. I did keep it down. It was 1000mg."


"I've been getting bacteria infections on and off for about 10 yrs have always taking the metrodonizole pills and they give me a bad taste in my mouth so this time I wanted to try the vaginal gel!! Did not work at all!! Plus gave me a yeast infection!! Now having to redue treatment with pills!! Fml"


"I discussed this medication with my doctor after a friends good experience. Docs concern was that I would gain it back when off the medication but agreed to write it if I could show him I was implementing the necessary life style changes to maintain a healthy weight. He recommended the lose it app to monitor my calories, that alone was enlightening. I found I was at my daily calorie limit before lunch due to some bad choices, fast food breakfast and lunch, by dinner and snacks  I was off the charts -found I was eating over 5000 calories a day. I could not have done it without Belviq, I find I eat now for energy and have a choice to eat the best energy. Willpower pill."


"After years of non-medicinal attempts to deal with my SAD, I finally decided to give it a shot as it had been really bad the last three years. My doctor put me on fluoxetine at 20 mg and then moved it up to 40 mg. On the positive side it made me less prone to angry outbursts and my lows weren't as bad. I've stopped taking it due to side effects. I had some initial insomnia but adjusted. However, a few days into 40 mg I could only manage 4 hours sleep a night. I would be restless and anxious. My mind would be racing and wouldn't relax despite the fact that the rest of my body was exhausted. I also had trouble getting and maintaining an erection. Not being able to be intimate with my wife or sleep well made me depressed, so what's the point?"


"Love this. I have been on Seroquel and gained a tremendous amount of weight and turned into a zombie. I lost 20 lbs in 1 month and feel the best I have felt in a long time."


"IT WORKS!!  I can control my emotions.  However, I am packing on the pounds like you would not believe and am having trouble sleeping at night."


"I received it for pain following gall bladder surgery worked really well for me - I do not like codeine based products."


"I've been taking Yaz for 3 months now and I absolutely love it. I've lost weight, without trying, and my periods have greatly decreased in heaviness and severity. I have not experienced any of the bad side effects like depression or tiredness, I wake up happy and ready to go. The only difference I've noticed that is not so great is that the first day of taking the placebo pill I tend to be emotional, but that usually clears up by the second day.  Also, if I miss a pill I usually have stomach pain until I take it, which is actually a nice reminder to take it. I love Yaz though and cannot say enough good things about it."


"Anxiety attacks. Started on 10mg of paroxetine. Felt a small change, only side affects were diarrhea, dizzy but it went away after about a month. Increased anxiety led me to up dose to 20 mg. I feel amazing now. I can say my thoughts of death have disappeared. I feel happy again, taking one day at a time. DONT keep suffering! Get help"


"I got it August 26, 2015 has been doing good so far just got my first period today on September 11, 2015 so we will see how it goes after this but so far it's good to me. Also my insurance covered the whole thing and I didn't have to pay out of pocket"


"I read these terrible reviews before I got the DEPO shot but got the shot anyway in June 2016, it's August 2016 now and I haven't stopped bleeding since I got the shot.  I'm bleeding so hard some days that I soak through a tampon in fifteen minutes!  Ruined so many underwear bleeding through...spent so much money on tampons.  Other days I just spot but I regret my decision to get the DEPO shot. At least with my period I had 21 days of no blood, now I have zero days of no blood. Do not get Depo shot ever!"


"I took this birth control about a month ago, and at first I loved it. I was spotting for about a week after I got it and then I stopped for maybe a month... 11 days ago I started spotting a brown color period blood.. No it's very prominent heavy and red. I've been on this period for 12 days now and I'm sick of it! I'm very moody and ALWAYS hungry. Always tired and always have headaches. I'm never irritable and this is not me. I've gained 4 pounds .. And yeah this medicine helps prevent pregnancy but only because you can't have Sex. Your always bleeding an moody! Who wants to have sex under those predicaments! I would never recommend this medicine to anyone ! An I sure am never ever getting it again!"


"Was prescribed years ago for chronic lower back pain worth sciatica shooting down my left leg. The only thing good about this medication is.... if the pain keeps you awake at night.. enjoy a 12hr deep sleep followed by a stiff jointed barely get up to pee so bad your gonna explode. Most likely because you slept 12 hrs in the same spot.  Don't take if your sensitive to meds and you have to function the next day. But if you can lay in bed and recover, great stuff."


"Terrible.

Allergic reaction so itchy had to remove.  Skin looks burned."


"Seroxat (Paxil) has been amazing for my anxiety so far. I started at 10mg and am now at 30mg. It started to work at 20mg, though I felt a slightly higher dose would be beneficial, and it was. I may step up to 40mg, though I am aware that the additional benefit onto 30mg is minimal, especially considering it is beginning to show beneficial effects.

I was previously taking Lustral (Zoloft) at the maximum dose of 200mg, and although it helped my depression immensely, the effect on my anxiety was minimal. Paxil is rather the opposite. Because social anxiety is my main issue, I much prefer Paxil, though if it were depression I would choose Zoloft. I have been on Paxil for over 2 months."


"I use meclizine/antivert every day of my life.. Every 6 hours, I can take up to 50mg. Unfortunately, I have a horrible diagnosis of vertigo, followed with BPPV. I rely on this medicine so much, I feel as if it's becoming ineffective.. :( Had real bad attacks in November. I got admitted to the hospital, and it took multiple doses, & 14  hours for the room to just stop spinning completely.. I have bad issues with my vertigo still. Can't sleep without the room spinning, it's hard to drive sometimes, and it's hard to function without feeling like I'm about to get dizzy all over again. Ugh. Just hope it stops completely soon. Been dealing with this daily since April 2012.."


"Started using this for diarrhea about 8 years ago and have had positive results almost every time."


"I started this birth control and it has been the worse experience. My periods were,ways regular on time, and I barely got cramps or back pain. On this pill I have been getting really bad back pain and bad cramps to the point it wakes me up at night. I never spotted and on this pill I spot every two weeks but this month it feels as a regular period.... Its not convenient whatsoever. The only pro I could say is a bit larger breasts. That's it!"


"I highly recommend Wellbutrin XL. I used to suffer from major depression, but thanks to the Wellbutrin, my depression is almost nonexistent. Another great thing about it is I don't have any side effects. In the beginning, I lost my appetite & everything tasted bland. I was fine with that because I wanted to lose some weight, but thanks to my other medications my appetite came back. Darn! Maybe if you take it & want to lose weight you will get lucky as long as you don't take other medications to counteract it."


"I've had 2 surgeries for 2 ruptured ovarian cysts as a result of PCOS and I usually have very severe side effects to hormonal medication.  However, I did not want to experience the pain I did this last time so I found out about Yaz and decided to try it since it's anti-androgen properties could help my symptoms.  I was prescribed the generic thanks to my insurance - Nikki - and was skeptical that I would get the full benefit.

WOW!  What a difference!  I'm not even thru the first pack yet and my brain fog is GONE!  My moods have evened out - I also suffer from PMDD - and I feel AMAZING!"


"I switched to this after 10 years on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo. Was really nervous about the switch because I tried something different about 5 years in on the ortho and had a nasty emotional reaction to it. So far I'm a month in on Gildess and overall it's been a positive experience, my period was right on time and 4 days shorter than it used to be, less breakthrough bleeding than on ortho, and my sex drive, which had taken a dive in recent years, seems to be returning. The only negative side effect so far has been that I've been a little bit cranky, however I'm not sure if I can actually attribute that to the birth control or just being unhappy with my job."


"Had triglycerides level of 460+.  Took Fenofibrate 160mg(Mylan).  Within a month, dropped to 132.
I was 5'8", 182 pounds.  Started eating less, dropping about a pound a week.  Did not feel hungry.
Side effects after 8 weeks of Fenofibrate experienced an SVT(Supraventricular Tachycardia) event.
Trip to Emergency Room with heart beats per minute > 200 which lasted 3 hours.  Given adensine IV.
Continued Fenofibrate.
Trip to cardiologist.  Heart echo(ultrasound) found normal 60+ real old heart.  In another 6 weeks had another SVT.  Heart beat >180 beats per minute.
Visited PCP and requested medicine change to Lipitor or Crestor which in addition to lower cholesterol may also work on triglycerides. YMMV. (Your milage may vary)"


"Iv been on depo for 3 years , and I can say its better than other birth controls you deffanitly won't get pregnant its probly hard to conceive even after you stop getting it. I have gained about 35 lbs mostly always hungry. I get acne on an off an have mood swings . I'm thinking about getting off of it cus I heard it decreases bone mass an putting that in your body for long time can't be healthy"


"I started taking on 6/23/15 at 301 and as of today,  8/19/15, I am at 271! Woohoo! Nobody's really noticed much, but I feel different and my face shows a major change. Got 2 refills today, so I'm hoping to lose at least 30 more in the next 2 months! I will update :)"


"I have been using over 3 weeks with no side effects except a slight burning for a few days but even the burning is gone!
I have had severe dry eyes that made me miserable! I have plugs in all four tear ducts and the Dr., tried Restatis which did nothing! The Xiidra has been wonderful and my eyes feel like normal again!
So thankful for this medicine!"


"I agree that Flexeril is helpful because it helps me relax enough to sleep when I have a severe migraine.  I can only take it at home at night though because it makes me tired."


"Depression for fifteen months hinged on the fact that my inattention was so bad. Every day it was constantly "OH MY GOD CAN'T DO ANYTHING." I had so many motivations and ambitions  for projects and was so overwhelmed by ADHD that I could not do any of it. All I can say is that I am really disappointed with Strattera... I fought and fought to get a stimulant to no avail and they finally gave me Kapvay for bedtime. It's been two weeks and my depression has finally lifted because my inattention and distraction is gone. They are symbiotic with each other. And now I can DO STUFF and not have to binge watch Impractical Jokers anymore. To ADHD I stand atop a tram in a superhero costume and say "SUCK IT!!!""


"Viibryd has lifted me out of the depths and has helped me put meaning back into my life. It's not a miracle, however, it does lift the burden of depression to a point where I am capable of utilizing skills and coping strategies effectively. It's expensive and it's very very new. I experienced very mild side effects at the beginning of treatment such as mild nausea and migraine in addition to panic attacks that eventually went away (thankfully) but these symptoms dissipated within two days of each initial titration. I'm currently at 40mg and I'm feeling great. I'm one of the lucky ones I suppose as I have not had to try too many medications."


"Been changed from oxynorm to shortec the packets are constantly pierced and tablets empty and doctors blame room temperature. Have moved them to various rooms and still having same issue"


"I've been taking invega (all forms) since 2011. I have to say it is a god send. Risperdal and abilify gave me sexual dysfunction. This at least allows me to get an erection. It's done a great job at controlling my positive symptoms of schizophrenia. The voices are dulled down to the point of single sentences and like only 1-4 times a day so it's a lot more managable in day to day life. Started on sustenna, went on the tablets and now on Trinza. All versions work very well for me. This medication is the metabolite form of risperdal and it's a god send. It's easier on the liver and I highly recommend sustenna and Trinza as the form to take for schizophrenia/schizoaffective!"


"Stopped taking Cymbalta after being on the medicine for almost year.  Worked wonders for the pain from Fibro and also improved my mood.  I also had some horrible side effects.  Lost a ton of hair, gained 40 pounds and became a compulsive gambler. Heard of others suffering from compulsive behavior on the medicine and also euphoria feelings.  I couldn't get over my loss of control when it came to gambling (slots).  I know others on the drug who became shopaholics.  I have been off the drug for five weeks and what a difference.  My hair is growing in better and is not falling out like before.  I have no desire to go gamble.  Losing the weight may be more difficult.  I am glad I have decided to get off the medicine, but am also suffering fibro pain."


"At first it did not help with my pain. I have what is called DJD a condition that effects all of joints and is very painful but after it built up in my system I can move a lot more freely with not as much pain. Give it time it will help trust me."


"This will be my 4th Shot and taking Metformin 1000mgs daily I have lost some weight which is a Positive hope to lose more but so far the shot is Good no side effects at this time !"


"I have only been on symbicort for  a few days but I already know these side effects are not for me.  I have the worst case of jitters I've ever had and dizziness.  I also had a very very mild nose bleed, though I'm not sure it was associated with the medication, I just know I haven't had a nose bleed since I was a child.  My regular doctor advised me to either go down to one puff twice or day or if I would rather to stop it all together since I have my first Pulmo appointment next week.  I have chosen to stop the drug, I can't deal with these side effects.  I can say my breathing did improve but for now I'll rely on my albuterol.  Really wish I wasn't having such scary effects!  Glad it works for most of you!"


"Finishing up my second pack in the next couple of days... I take it at 9am everyday. I was pleasantly surprised to not have any major side effects after reading these reviews. I have experienced absolutely zero change in complexion, weight, mood, appetite, no irregular bleeding, etc. My period did not get any lighter or heavier- I was kind of hoping it would become lighter. The pill works perfectly- my period comes on the 5th day of the sugar pills, which is nice because they used to be very irregular and spaced out. My only complaint is there has been a definite decrease in my sex drive- so I'm unsure if I want to continue taking it. Everyone's body reacts differently to medications so don't let the reviews scare you."


"I am heading into my 4th week with Otezla. My hands are clear of scales. They are looking very good. My scalp has stopped itching and feels like scales are disappearing. My legs on the other hand are red and itching. I do not see any improvement on my legs at all yet. I did experience severe nausea for the first couple of weeks but it has gotten much better. Slight occasional headaches. I am still hopeful."


"For a few weeks I had a dry mouth. I still waken during the night but straight back to sleep again. At the beginning some brain zap things.
But I love it! This medication makes me feel normal, happy, awake and life is much better. A little concerned about coming off it but I'll deal with that at the time."


"I have been fighting migraines for 50 years.  I asked my doctor for this and it stops my headaches within 15 to 20 minutes.  The bad thing is that my insurance will not cover this drug.  They said it costs $180.00 for 9 pills."


"Works good, but the withdrawal is bad."


"Ive been taking Ambien for 1 and 1/2 years. I think it works great, especially when traveling. Sometimes just 5 mg does it, and I have even used just 1/4 sometimes. It just relaxes the mind to let you sleep. The only time I did something silly was when I had a few drinks and took one. That's not good."


"Cafergot is the only medication that I have used that helps with my aura migraines."


"I've had the Implanon for about 7 months. I put it in after my second child but I get mg period about 2x a month for a week or sometimes 3x for 3 days it's pretty weird but I don't mind mind this at all as long as I'm protected."


"I got the nexplanon in late novermber or early December 2016 and so far so good. I haven't had terrible mood swings and when I feel sad or moody I just remind myself that it's the hormones and it's really nothing I can't handle. I haven't felt abnormally sluggish nor have I had a decrease in sexual desire. I have actually lost weight since I have been on the nexplanon and haven't had any issues with acne. The only problem I've had is the bleeding. It's been almost 2 months and I haven't stopped bleeding and it's not a whole lot but it's just irritating. That alone isn't enough to make me want to get off of this form of birth control so I think I'm going to stick with it. Also, this was 100% covered by my insurance. I definitely recommend it"


"I've been on this a month and it's been horrible. I have IBS that goes in waves, sometimes I'm fine sometimes my bowels are very unpredictable. This has given me the worst stomach pain I can imagine every day since I began. I have no appetite and I also rarely have bowel movements anymore, but 24/7 I feel like I will have diarrhea.... but I never do. It's miserable, I can barely go anywhere due to the stabbing pain."


"Lyrica is seriously a life saver. Do not use any other medicines for anxiety. 75 X 3-4 per day = bye bye anxiety and life back. IT WORKS!"


"I'm 20 years old and this is my first birth control pill. I've been on Loestrin 24 Fe for about a month and half now. I absolutely love it. I did not have any nausea or headaches whatsoever. I haven't gained any weight, as a matter of fact I lost weight while on this pill. I lost about 6lbs! My acne is almost gone and I had terrible acne. Also my sex drive has stayed the same. I know many women are worried about that. The only negative was during the 2nd week of taking the pill, I was bleeding for a week and half. It was light but it was still annoying to deal with. But when my actual period came, it was on time and only lasted about 3 days. Overall I love this pill and I would like to stick with it."


"Can't even open the tube. Have a friend with severe allergies (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity). Between the alcohol and fragrance it can not be opened in the home. Then read all the side effects. Wish I had known this before I purchased it. Thankfully, insurance paid for it."


"After years of trying to treat depression I have finally found the perfect combination 600mg of Trileptal and 200mg of Wellbutrin, twice a day.  My Doctor told me when you're on the right thing you will feel like you aren't on anything.  That's the perfect way to describe how I feel.  I have NORMAL mood swings, instead of wanting to rip someone's head off at the drop of a dime, or being completely numb.  I am diagnosed as Bipolar II. This medicine has changed my life and I hope if Trileptal isn't the answer for your treatment you will keep trying until you find the right thing.  It is possible, and there is light on the other side."


"I have only been using this with benzaclin for about 2 months and I can already see an improvement. My pores are smaller, skin is smoother and my tone is more even. I am 25 and have tried almost everything! I use benzaclin in the morning and Retin-A at night. For the first month I noticed 0 improvement, but now im starting to see it!"


"I have tried in my life every diet plan out there. I have lost and gained over and over. My Family Physician prescribed Saxenda for me. My insurance company is paying it. My first week on it , I have lost 7 pounds. This makes me very hopeful. But you can't do it by using the drug alone. You have to reduce your caloric intake. I follow a program set up by a dietitian . I drink about 3 L of water a day. This will be a long road road for me, yet very positive!! My cravings has stopped altogether and no more late night snacking. I started to give my injections in the morning, but feeling so tired throughout the day. Now I'm feeling much better giving them at night. I do feel a little bloated and have had to use a gentle laxative  for constipation."


"My doctor told me to try this medications over some of the over the counter stuff I was already taking. I spent about the same money and got an FDA approved medication that works well for me. I did have a slight headache when first starting but in 2 weeks lost 9 lbs! I feel like I could exercise more. I encourage you to try it!"


"I woke up one day with a horrible migraine that never went away.  Every day, all day. It was killing me. I haven't ever had a headache like this. Definitely never had one that lasted the entire day. So after four doctor visits, three blood test and six months of non-stop migraines, I was prescribed Nortriptyline. Only after two weeks I was waking up with out a headache. By the time I had got up to 40 milligrams, I was headache free. I'm so happy and relieved. The only side effects I am experiencing are dry mouth and trouble with sleepiness in the morning."


"I've been on this pill for about two weeks, this is one of the best sleeping pill to ever take if you're have trouble sleeping, my breast are cup size bigger, and I seem to get more emotional than usual."


"So far this has worked for my grandson. No more voice or the TV talking to him. He still has a little anxiety. It has been life changing"


"Ok, Xanax was the very 1st Benzo I tried, my doctor Rx'd me 1mg 3x daily. It worked decently, but I was expecting a lot more. After talking to Doc about it, he switched me to Klonopin 1mg 3x daily. All I can say is, WOW! Klonopin is SO much more effective for me. It does take a couple of hours to kick in, but once it does.. I can't honestly say how much better Klonopin is than Xanax. Both are equivalent mg for mg. Klonopin has a MUCH longer half life. It just works overall way better than Xanax. I see so many positive reviews of Xanax, but I'm wondering if most of them have tried a different benzo?"


"I've been taking this drug for a few months I'm on a very high dose (800mg). I was finding on lower doses my paranoia was overwhelming and my depression was getting to the suicidal point. Now I'm on a higher dose I'm like a zombie, lack of motivation in everything I do. For me personally, I do not think its the right drug for me but everyone takes to medications differently"


"I never had depression in my life. Then I went through a major depression episode 2 years ago. I tried 7 different antidepressants none worked some made me even worse my doctor decided efexor  I was very reluctant after reading horror stories about coming off of Efexor well I'm happy to say it worked for year-and-a-half, it had made me better within two weeks of taking it however I started to experience depression while taking it I decided to wean myself off and had no problems coming off of it. I did it slowly and it's been a month with no side effects of coming off this drug saved me from the deep dark hell of depression. Every drug is different from everybody this drug work for me I only took it for a year-and-a-half 37.5 mg."


"Elavil works in my case as a pain killer/anti depressant. I does have some cons that I was not warned about. I was told by my doctor to take 150mg before bed so I did as told and woke up only when my wife shook me for a second I would eat and go right back to sleep this happened for the first 24 hours the next I had no choice but to stay awake. being awake I had problems with balance and depth perception. my mind was racing with what felt like hundreds of thoughts. my ability to speak was reduced to short sentences. it felt like my jaw was not moving fast enough to make more than a few sentences. after taking that dosage down from 150mg to 37.5mg I am able to speak clearly but my mind is still a little foggy. and the back pain is not as bad"


"Wellbutrin 150mg was a MAJOR IMPROVEMENT. Been on this low dose for 3 years. Quietens thoughts of inadequacy and darkness without muffling my personality or life's "natural" highs and lows.  (Initially tried Prozac for depression related to mid-life anxiety, but after first good week, it masked all my emotions - no highs, no lows.)"


"My anxiety peaked 6 years ago.  Not only did I dread social interaction of any kind (talking to co-workers, going out with friends, even being around my own family) but I had experienced a panic attack on the freeway which kept me from driving anywhere far from my home for two years.  I was extremely stubborn and didn't want chemicals to "change" my reality.  I finally had to admit to myself that my reality sucked - bad. I'm overjoyed to report that Lexapro saved me.  It took a month for me to realize I was greeting people in passing again.  I drive on the freeway again and love being around people.  Stick with it even if you feel "weird" at first.  You CAN have your life back!  I take it at night, the initial drowsiness helps me sleep."


"I just got this thing in 3 days ago and I have a severe infection where it is. Also I noticed it move onward towards my muscle in my arm. I had the implanon and. Ever had these kinds of issues. In fact I never had issues with the implanon. This nexplanon is horrible and don't recommend anyone getting it. They shouldn't change things that work well. This is what happens. Being the implanon back."


"I have been taking Cymbalta for over 3 years.  When I started taking it I was working and it was making me sleepy, so doctor said to take it at night;  problem solved.  During the years I have had 3 surgeries and I have to stop taking it and I had no side effect or withdrawal symptoms.  It helps with my fibromyalgia, mild depression, and pain.  My insurance co-pay is $35, but during the donut-hole is is very expensive."


"I didn't have a very good experience with the Nexplanon. Having it placed in my arm was the only part that went smoothly. The only time it hurt was when my doctor numbed me, but it wasn't that bad at all. The very next day I became very nauseous & kept gagging. I kept the Nexplanon for a month (a month too long) & the whole time I stayed sick on my stomach. Certain smells would make me sick & I could barely eat. Even if I didn't eat anything I would still get sick. It was so bad that I went to the doctor & she prescribed me pills to help with the nausea while I waited to see if I would get adjusted to it or not. The only other problem I had with it was it messed with my moods. I stayed agitated all of the time & I would cry real easily."


"So I had the Skyla placed right after having a C-Section, so I didn't actually feel any pain during the insertion as everyone else seems to be describing. I had the device placed 2 months ago and haven't had any side effects so far. My doctor checked to make sure it was still in place at my 6 weeks postpartum visit and it was. Like I said it's only been 2 months and I noticed I have spotted a couple times. So far I am extremely pleased with the device."


"I have been taking Lyza for a month. I had to switched out of the Ortho Tri-Cyclen combo pill because it gave me headaches. I noticed that I have more of an appetite when taking Lyza. I have not gain much weight because I have a high metabolism along with working out. My face seems to have cleared up. The only negative thing I would have to say is that since it is an progestin only pill, it is important to take it right on time. It has a lower hormonal dosage than combo pills."


"I have been on Belviq for about 3 months now, and I feel great. It really works. I don't feel starving all the time.  I lost about 10 lbs, but I can tell my eating habit is better, and I definitely lost inches.  I have practically no side effect.  I intend to be on this medicine INDEFINITELY."


"This medication has changed my life! I've only been on it for 10 days and it has worked wonders on me at a very low dose of 10mg! Get it on it NOW if you are suffering from migraines!!"
