"I switched to Enskyce from Reclipsen for cost effectiveness, and felt different almost immediately. After a few weeks, I noticed that my emotions were considerably more inconsistent. Small things that wouldn't normally bother me started to make me extremely upset, and although I realized that I shouldn't have been upset at the time, I felt like I couldn't pull myself out of being emotional. I didn't pay any mind to it, because I thought some outside things could've been stressing me out, but it got to the point where I'd be having emotional breakdowns almost weekly, and about normally insignificant things. Periods were thicker and more painful. Effective as a contraceptive, but the side effects were a deal-breaker for me."


"I was suicidal aged 25. Anxiety and Depression. Diazepam saved my life. I started on 5mg 3 Times a day for a week cut down to 2 for a week then one at night under doctors orders. Also one Prozac in the mornings 20 mg. I felt better straight away. Don't let anyone scare you from taking Diazepam, yes they are addictive BUT my quality of life since taking it has been as a (normal) person. I really can't praise it enough as I know I wouldn't be here and living a good life without it. If the tablets help then why not take them.  Thanks for reading."


"Before leaving for a semester abroad, I requested that my doctor give me a birth control where I wouldn't have periods every month. That turned out to be a big mistake. Once I started taking jolessa, I became much more moody and overall depressed. I started getting zits on my chest and back - something that hasn't happened to me since freshman year of high school! My acne on my face has gotten worse. I gained 10 pounds. I have always been the kind of person that could get away with eating whatever I want (fast food 5 times a week!) and not exercise and never weigh more than 134 pounds, but not anymore. No change after altering dietary & exercising habits. After 5 months taking jolessa, I'm most definitely switching after I finish this pack."


"I have chronic constipation because I don't drink enough water and medications I take too.  I took another laxative and nothing happened so I got the biscodyl pills.  I'd taken them years earlier and they were effective.  Well, I took 3 at around 3 pm and my kids wanted to see a movie at 7.30pm.  My stomach cramped mildly during the movie and when I went to the restroom it was ever so small and hard.  Thought I was in the clear til I drank a lot of fluid towards the end of the movie and to my horror had an accident while driving home....there was no holding it back.  Went home and changed thinking it was over and I felt fine.  Had to run to Wal-mart right by my house for a few things I desperately needed and deja vu. Never in my life......"


"I feel compelled to write this review because this product worked on my baby's terrible diaper rash when no other would."


"I experienced a lot of weight gain, but the worst side effect has been dry skin on my face and I have never had skin problems. I have also experienced some headaches but I am going to actually take the brown pill this month. I have a missed period one month and then the next month I get my period 2 times in one cycle. But it's working the best out of all the birth controls that I have used. (I use birth control for hormone headaches)"


"I was on the Depo Provera for 5 years. I'm 28 years old and have three children. I have been Depo Provera ever since I had my youngest child before I left the hospital which is 5 years ago. I wanted to try something new long -term besides the IUD. My Nexplanon was implanted March 2014. In April I bled for a whole week then after that no bleeding so far. Also I have not had any side effects. I get very moody every once a while and that's about it so far."


"I bought this after I realized I was developing a yeast infection. I took the ovule just before bed and then knocked back 2 Advil so I could sleep. When I woke up the next morning, things seemed okay at first, and then got progressively worse. I have only felt burning like this when I was giving birth. The itching was horrendous too. Only relief I got was when I mixed clomitrazol with my kids diaper cream and spread it all over my southern region. Took 3 days for the medication to finally start working, and by that time, I had started my period as well. I spent 2 days in agony, and was not about to try anything else until I knew the other medication was cleared out. I highly recommend going with the lighter doses before trying to use this."


"I like it very much. It helped my diabetes a lot. Thank you."


"IT WORKS. There's not enough space in the review for my whole experience so I'll give you some bullet points. First time having sex. Had unprotected sex (no condom, no birth control). Took Plan B about 4-5 hours after sex. May have been ovulating (but my cycle is always irregular). 291 pounds. All reviews said that being overweight and ovulating makes it ineffective. NO SIDE EFFECTS AT ALL! Well my period just showed up today! That's 2 days after I thought it would. Ladies, please use protection. If he doesn't want to use protection, get the hell out of there. Needless to say, I have my birth control and will be getting it injected tomorrow."


"I have been on Yaz for 2 months now to fix my newly discovered hormonal imbalance. I felt the effects of the pill after a week. I am far more emotional and am seriously depressed. Major mood swings. On a happier note my periods are regular and last 4 days with little cramping and little to no bloating. Above all I do not feel myself. Once my 3 month trial is done I'm definitely going to explore my options and steer away from birth control. I do not feel myself anymore."


"I wanted to leave my experience on here because this drug has changed my life!! I read all the bad experiences people have had and was worried this would happen to me too. Back in December 2016 for some reason I just lost it. Heart racing constant (although most my life I have had heart racing at times...anxiety) panicking over nothing, crying, depressed, lost interest in hanging out with my friends, wanted to just lay in bed all day, expecting the worst to happen, scared to drive anywhere past my town, dreading my husband coming home from work...etc...No logical reason for any of this. My doctor started me out on Zoloft and it helped a little at first. The side effects for Zoloft were awful for me the first week. 7 months in my doctor had me on 100 mg and at that point it felt like it wasn't working at all anymore. In August he switched me to Effexor (generic) The only side effects was an occasional dizzy feeling a couple times the first few days. I literally felt a change by the 2 day. Heart started beating normal, happy, lots of energy, driving everywhere!!! The best part, other then my heart not racing, is wanting to hang out with friends again and talking to complete strangers without sweating and panicking thinking they are judging me!! I did have to raise my dosage to 150 mg because 75 mg was only working half the day. I do hear when you do want to come off of these it is not fun but at this point I hope I never have to."


"This was very easy to take. I noticed after taking it for 7 days (out of the 10 perscribed) that my thrush was completely gone. I noticed no side effects. I took it for all 10 days."


"I'm 23 and have been on YAZ for 3 years. I switched to YAZ from Ortho Tri-Cyclen lo because Ortho was causing me major mood swings. YAZ took care of the mood swings, I have virtually none on YAZ, but it came with other side effects. The worst of them is debilitating intense headaches 2-3 days before my period. When I start taking the placebo pills, I get blinding headaches! Also, decreased sex drive, and tiredness. YAZ, did however give me very regular periods... they are like clockwork... I know down to the hour when I'm going to get my period and it only lasts 4 days, and is light because of the headaches, I am switching to Loestrin 24 fe. I hope it gets rid of the headaches and some of the other side effects. GOOD LUCK!"


"I spent almost 2 years on alesse 28. My first couple months were okay. I experienced severe nausea and gained 10 pounds but lost them shortly after. I took Alesse routinely at 10 pm. My first month on it I woke up with sweats, seeing "stars" and started vomiting. I assumed it was a bug until it happened the following week again. My doctor told me to give it 3 months so I did. This continued about once every 1-2 months at the same time during the night. I began living with gravol in my back pocket until I had enough. I came off alesse and have not had any midnight "episodes" and feel so much better. It was effective in preventing pregnancy although I always use backup methods anyways. My periods were short and light & minor cramps"


"I have recently been diagnosed with erectile dysfunction at 44 with no health issues. I tried Viagra and experienced some side effects. I am currently taking 5mg Cialis daily. This works great for spontaneous sex. Hard in seconds and my wife is very satisfied and tired!"


"I have been on the depo injection since I was 15 and I'm now 30....its been so efficiant! I have gained some weight in that time but that could easily be down to just growing up and life style choices. I had my period for a couple of months after I started on it but haven't had a period since then. I do now go for a bone scan every 2 years to check for osteoporosis but so far everything has been fine. I have however started to take calcium vitamins to just give me a boost without eating a lot of dairy.

Only downside I can say about it is it has given me some skin issues or I believe it has contributed to making psorisis and ezcema worse."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I cannot stand the taste, just took the first prep and threw up a little bit of it.  To me it tastes like someone took a bunch of menthol cough drops and liquified them.  It did start working within 30 minutes though.  I hope I can swallow the next batch without getting sick, it makes me very nauseous to drink."


"1 pill every 24 hours VERY convenient. Is not near as hard on stomach and intestines. Works about as well as Aleve or Ibuprofen if you take them every 4 hours."


"I was coughing and vomiting so much, I had to go to urgent care. I'd been vomiting so much, I knew when my Dr also prescribed pepsid and zolfran.  I still can't  eat, but I've been hydrating with water, broth and Popsicles! This medicine works well, especially in together with those other two, based on my cough with vomiting.  I also took some Tylenol to deal with the pain in my neck and shoulders."


"I've been on this birth control for about a year now. I've tried probably about 8 birth controls within 9 years and this one has to be the worst (skin wise). I've never had painful cyst like bumps before and now I get them along my jawline and hairline. They take forever to go away and is especially worse when it's that time of the month. Birth control wise I've had no issues and no break through bleeding. I've noticed increased bloating but no weight gain. I'm definitely switching to something better for my skin."


"I am wide awake all night. Then I woke up at 8:00am to put the dog out, are breakfast and went back to bed til noon.  I've only had it 4 times and am calling my doctor in the morning.  I am taking 20 mg.  the highest recommended dosage."


"Great product.  My daughter has been battling acne problems for years.  When she was given the prescription for duac,, her face cleared and her confidence was boosted.  Unfortunately when the doctor gave her another prescription the insurance would not pay for duac only the generic.  Well, the generic didn't work, the product broke her face out.  So, the next time she got the prescription I paid out of pocket, but $330 a box is too expensive.  Unfortunately, over the last year her acne got worst.  If you can get the product, it's totally worth it.  Just wish the insurance wasn't so cheap.  #coupon.."


"I'm a 39 year old female, 5'7" and 224 pounds. I've struggled with my weight off and on. Last year I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and I'm in a low dosage thyroid medication. I eat fairly clean but I stay very tired already. I spoke to my doctor yesterday and he suggested contrave because it's a nonstimulant. I'm to increase the pills weekly by one. This week I'm only to take one each morning first 7 days. I took my first one this morning and roughly 45 minutes later I was incredibly sleepy almost drunk feeling. It's gotten a little better but not much. I don't really have an appetite and I feel foggy minded. I will continue and hope the side effects ease up over time."


"I'm 20 and I got Nexplanon 8 months ago. First 6 months I bled constantly (although it was light it was still a huge pain in the ass) but I stuck it out because my GP said it would take 4-6 months for my body to fully adjust. I've gained about 30lbs. I have terrible mood swings, I get angry very easily, and I also have a very low sex drive, so my relationship is suffering. Since the initial 4-6 month period, I've had terrible acne which I've never suffered from before, and I've had discharge and regular spotting. At least it has been effective, since the weight gain, low sex drive and acne has pretty much made me never want to have sex again, but I cannot wait to get it taken out of my arm.. although I hear that's the worst bit!!"


"I got the kyleena IUD inserted about 3 months ago and not only was it THE WORST pain I've ever gone through, I've had so many issues and side effects. Ever since I got it inserted, there has been an annoying throbbing pain in my uterus and despite checkups and pap smears, theres nothing wrong with it. I also had a very early miscarriage on this birth control which was extremely hard on myself and my boyfriend. ALSO I have the worst break outs of my entire life on my jaws, neck, and hips. Gained 15 pounds as well. Would never recommend this birth control to anyone ever. Long story short, I have an appointment next week to get this demon contraption out of me and I am exploring a different type of contraceptive."


"Given this antibiotic by dentist to save molar  2nd full day think it might be working but having to take paracetamol and ibuprofen to keep the pain at bay...not so good today slept most of the day..take omaprezole for reflux and this evening bothered with back pain which I think is acid reflux...have had a heart check and have no problems in that area...guess I just have to keep going and see if this antibiotic will work...hopefully it will be worth it and will be able to hold on to my tooth!"


"Been on it for several years for spinal condition. Never had any uncomfortable side effects from it, and it managed my pain great. Now I have been taken off Dilaudid and put on Methadone. Nausea, periodic profuse sweating along with agonizing pain is what I'm back to. I also got tired of finding doctors that were willing to prescribe it, finding a pharmacy that carried it and even if the pharmacy has them, you still have the pharmacists who decide to "play God and were not willing to fill it for you. If you are lucky enough to establish these 3. things, you're still having to deal with ignorant attitudes from people who think they know more than the orthopedic professionals that you have to see on a  monthly basis."


"I was looking around on these reviews to see if anyone else experienced weight gain. While the drug worked pretty well for my allergies (dairy consumption) I was shocked to see after a few days of taking it,  I had ballooned up inexplicably. Yikes. Found one person who said they had also gained weight."


"I had a root canal 2 weeks ago, and there was no abscess or infection then. After the second part of the root canal a couple days ago, the x-ray showed an infection. Since I'm allergic to penicillin, they prescribed clindamycin. I have a sensitive stomach, and this medicine really did a number on me! I took 3 capsules 8 hours apart, and each one had worse results. I also forgot about not lying down for 30 minutes after taking a pill the 3rd time. I filled my stomach up with food to try and protect it, but it didn't work. I had nausea, stomach pain, and intestinal cramps. I have no idea if it would have cleared the infection. I just started taking cephalexin tonight, which can also cause stomach problems, but so far it hasn't."


"I had this boil on my leg and my doctor gave me this, It worked really good for the first three days on the forth day after I burst the boil I was faced with excessive bleeding I bleed for more than 5 hours that I begin to fear if I no longer have any Thrombocytes left in my blood,
It was midnight I can't go to my doctor,
I was so lucky enough it's just a small opening so I decided to lie it with and wait for morning,
Before I woke up in the morning it's all fine"


"I've had the nexplanon implant for a year now, at first it was brilliant, had my period and then nothing for a good month. After a while I started noticing brown spotting in my underwear. Not a lot but it was enough to put me off being intimate with my boyfriend. I put up with it for 3 months as the nurse said it will take time to get used to. In summer, I thought it was best to try taking the pill with the nexplanon to help regulate periods. This was amazing after I'd finished the course no bleeding for 3 months. But then I bled for 4 weeks. And finally it stopped. This appears to be not the right birth control for me. However, Its very effective in the sense that I'm not pregnant. Please don't let my story scare you away, its worth a try :)"


"Took this for 3 days. 2nd day got severe itching on palms and soles of feet. Day three had uncontrollable shakes, heart racing, felt like it was going to come out of my chest, facial numbness, dizzy, very elevated (for me) blood pressure of 145/90, whole body tingling, dizziness, light headed, extremely intense nervousness, ringing in my ears. "


"I started this on the first day of my period and experienced very heavy bleeding that didn't let up. I usually bleed for three days and then it's done. On day 6 of heavy bleeding flat out I stopped taking it. Days later I am still spotting."


"This medication has changed my life over the past 5 wks I've been on it. I take zoloft for severe anxiety; I have always been a high stress, high functioning over achiever. I started having all kinds of odd stomach issues, heart palpitations, I hardly slept, etc. With this medicine I feel MUCH less stress and anxiety with every day things. I am more patient more relaxed. I started on 50mgs for 2 wks and asked to increase to 100mgs and been on that for 2 wks too. I take ativan and hydroxyzine as needed. This medication has changed my life!! I have lost about 10lbs on it. I think some of my appetite was anxiety driven. But I love this med and this has made me a better person!!"


"I took Gilenya 3 years ago for about a year and had no major side effects and only had 1 additional lesion on my brain post treatment. My husband changed jobs and it took about another year to jump through all of the hoops to restart the gilenya. I restarted the gilenya last summer. Immediately I started having trouble with more severe headaches, losing hearing, anxiety. Until my nuero took me off it. I wish It had worked"


"I am 6 weeks out of my Skyla insertion. The initial insertion is PAINFUL! I was told it is largely because I have never had kids. It was an intense and sharp pain but it was fairly quick between measuring and insertion. My abdomen was throbbing after. So, I didn't go to work that day and took a few more Advil and a 2 hour nap when I got home. When I woke up, the cramping had largely subsided and into the night I was almost normal.

I went to work the next day like usual. Now, I don't even feel the IUD. I have not had a period since. Also, I lost a 3-4 lbs. I was in the pill before and must have lost the water weight. I would definitely recommend getting the Skyla IUD! It is worth the initial pain!"


"When I use Metro-gel, I don't have to worry about bacterial vaginitis coming back easily. It helps faster, and it's very effective. When I take the oral medicines, bacterial vaginitis recurs within weeks. That can be a major pain.  The only bummer is the yeast infection that can sometimes occur."


"I had a headache 24/7. Liver enzymes were dangerously high. I'm doing better on Zocor, but my LDL is higher."


"I started Phentermine on October 8th 2016 at 273 lbs (yap I said 273). That day was the lowest I've ever felt. I cried and my Dr. asked why I'm crying. Really at that weight he had to ask. So he prescribed Phentermine and today January 2nd 2017 I'm happy to say I now weigh 239. A loss of 34 lbs. This is the only thing that has worked for me. I can't THANK my Dr. enough. Here's to a healthier happier 2017."


"Started taking this about 8 years ago after developing an ulcer from taking Aleve.
Was fine for a few years, with only flatulance and loose bowel movements.  For the last 3 years, I started developing asthma symptoms (phlegm in throat and lungs, coughing).  Stopping Protonix cleared it up.  Took 1 pill again and the asthma started again.  Too bad, I really liked this medication."


"Yay!Love abilify. I'm 56, started on lowest dose 3 weeks ago and my thinking process has never been so normal. Way more motivation. Feels like a miracle after decades of mental torment. My doc will probably increase my dose a bit in 2 weeks. Looking forward!"


"I has on a plane for 26 hours with 5 stops and not much down time on the ground.  For the first time I was able to eat and sleep for longer then 10 minutes.  Not the best medicine for someone that needs to be alert and fully functioning.  Once on the ground for good I needed to be alert and doing my job.  It took around 20 min and some water."


"After losing 80 pounds in 1 year by walking EVERY SINGLE DAY for 45 minutes then increasing to 1 hr plus, I was unable to lose any more weight. Weight was stable for 5 yrs via 1 to 2 hrs Cardio and Weight Training 4 times a week, and constant vigil of quality and quantity of food. I am hypothyroid, but not diabetic. After much wailing and gnashing of teeth for SOME HELP on losing these last 25 or 30 lbs, my wonderful doctor put me on Victoza 2 days before Thanksgiving. I AM GIVING JOYFUL THANKS. I do not even think about food-- have ZERO hunger or cravings! For me, this is a miracle!"


"I had unprotected sex while on my birth control pills not realizing that the anti biotic I am on would counteract with it considering it usually says it on the bottle. However, after I started panicking the very next morning (less than 24 hours) I went and bought the plan b pill from my local drug store for 50$. I did not feel anything after taking it but 24 hours afterwards I felt nauseous, and my stomach felt upset. After that passed, my period was supposed to come 3 weeks later it....my breasts became very sore, and I broke out really bad. All symptoms of my period. So 4 days before my period was supposed to start I got my period!!! I was ovulating, and over the "weight limit" be patient and WAIT!"


"I had Nexplanon for 6 years total, I have mixed reviews on it. It was extremely effective at preventing pregnancy, and I didn't have periods at all while I had it! My only negative points would be horrible weight gain during the duration of having it and the weight was near impossible to lose. I recently had Nexplanon removed and immediately experienced mood swings and drop in my sex drive. Hopefully after my hormones rebalance I will feel normal! Other than that, no complaints! Definitely recommend for someone who does not want children for 3+ years"


"Diagnosed with HIV in 1985 (30 years ago).  Monitored CD4 levels decreased gradually until they reached 240 2 months ago.  Decided to start medications. Took Atripla for one month (December 2014) but had too many side effects.  Started Stribild 2 months ago and have tingling and numbness in feet and lower legs.  Breathing seems changed.  Rapid heart rate a few hours after taking it.  Worried about lactic acidosis and liver/kidney damage.  Reading lots of internet articles about HIV medications doing more harm than good.  Have to wonder if starting meds was a good decision."


"You won't believe this, but I decided to use Drysol on my face and head which is where I sweat the most. My son was getting married outside in August in New York and I knew I'd look awful being so sweaty. So I put Drysol on my forehead, above my lip, and in my hair. And not a drop of sweat! However...as I was about to walk down the aisle I felt water running down the back of my knees and in the small of my back. I guess the sweat has to go somewhere! Love it!"


"I had very good results. It's great."


"I suffered with generalized anxiety since high school, then later as I got older it turned into panic attacks.  I was so tired of having to deal with even the thought of having a panic attack.  The day my Dr. put me on Klonopin(clonazepam) my panic attacks stopped.  So greatful!"


"NuvaRing has been good for me personally. I've been on it for 3 1/2 years. No cramping or bloating or weight gain. I have short, light periods and I even have larger breasts. My only complaint is the extremely low sex drive. This is a great birth control method, you can forget about it for 3 weeks. Sure beats taking a pill everyday."


"I've been on Prozac for many years. This medication has definitely improved my life. I had tried Zoloft first and had some strange side effects. I've never had any adverse effects with Prozac. I don't feel any different except I feel so much better on it. I will continue to take it."


"Much more effective than Cipro."


"I take it for my stress migraines. Gets rid of my headache but causes my jaw to feel tight."


"I started taking this drug 10 years ago because I was always stressed and was waking up at 3am. Started on 0.5mg at bedtime, combined with Trazadone, and it would knock me out within 15 minutes-I almost had to rush to the bed sometimes. It was prescribed to take another dose in the morning but I only did this once, as it made me very sleeping driving to work. I later discovered the Trazadone wasn't doing anything and now just take the Klonopin at 0.75mg at bedtime and it gradually puts me to sleep and keeps me there. If I wake in the middle of the night and would normally stress about stuff, I am able to fall back to sleep till morning. Helps with work anxiety during the day, too. It has been a miracle drug for me!"


"I smoked for 18 years and never thought I could quit. I wasn't one of those social smokers...I NEEDED it. I would turn into a different and mean person when I had to go more than 2 hours without smoking. I tried the gum, lozenges and E-cig. Nothing worked, and then there was Chantix! It was amazing how it just took the urges away. I still wanted a cigarette out of habit, but not in the same way that I needed one before. I would have tried this years ago had I known. I have been smoke free for 5 months now. There is a downside though. I had bad side effects the first 2 weeks. I felt so strange and not myself at all. The side effects did go away completely, so if you stick it out, it is well worth it!"


"I haven't had a bowel movement for 2 weeks so yesterday I took two in the morning and went to the bathroom around 3pm but it didn't fully help so I also took one in the evening. Around 2am I had the most painful cramps I've experienced in my life, but then again, it did clean me out and I didn't drink water so that was a big mistake. My advice is to take 1 if it has only been less than a week and 3 for over two weeks. The cramps are pretty bearable if the bathroom is right next to you, so good luck."


"I'm currently half way through my keflex treatment for a skin infection on my ankle I'm prescribed 500mg twice a day for 30 days. I wish I could be one of the few to say this has been a pleasant experience. I'm not sure if whatever this infection is is just highly resistant or was just that bad, but I'm on week 3 and have only seen mild improvement so far. Plus this stinky antibiotic is making me miserable... Nausea, diarrhea 5xs a day on average, stomach cramps, and joint aches. I've been taking probiotics the entire time I've been on keflex because I've always had issues with yeast infections even prior to this. I plan on calling the dr tomorrow to see if I have any alternatives."


"I woke up 3 days ago with a huge painful outbreak on my upper lip. I ran to the pharmacy and bought abreva and the cold sore is completely gone now. This stuff is a miracle. Worth every penny!!"


"I began taking Adipex on March 4, 2011 and have lost 11.8 pounds and it is only March 23.  I would recommend this for everyone who wants to lose weight.  It has raised my heart rate occasionally, but it goes back down."


"I have suffered with chronic constipation for at least 5 years, I always assumed it was caused by pain medication and opiates. I started methadone treatment about 10 months ago and the constipation got worse. I tried laxatives, stool softeners, drinking tons of water, eating everything I could that gave me fiber in my diet, nothing was helping. It got so bad that going to the bathroom was something I feared. I found myself doing an enema every 2 days. Then they stopped working. I talked to my doctor and he gave me Linzess and about 3 days after the first pill I went to the bathroom. No pain, no constipation it was amazing. I've been taking Linzess for a month now and everything seems normal again. Linzess is my miracle pill."


"Note that everyone's experience with medication is different. I feel like it's important for others to know the risks as well as the benefits of a medication and then decide for themselves if it's worth a try. That being said, this is my experience.

I started this medication for migraines caused by different medication that I'm taking for depression. So far, my anxiety is horrible and I'm extremely paranoid about everything, also I'm very depressed with suicidal thoughts. I haven't had weight loss but rather, weight gain! I become delusional and lose touch with reality, I'm very agitated and my body feels like it's made of bruises. Anyway, I've become a completely different person but not in a good way. It's not worth all the suffering!"


"I have had migraines since I was 16 but they've been getting worse and worse and I decided it was time to go to a doctor. I went in and they gave me Sumavel DosePro to see if the medicine was effective. The initial "injection" was awful. It hurt as bad as my migraines did, only in my thigh. Then I felt extremely dizzy, and my whole body was sore and I had trouble breathing. They let me rest for about 20 minutes before sending me home with a sample of Treximet. I got home and took a nap for about 30 minutes. When I woke up, I felt better than I had in months. Finally my head felt clear and I had energy back! As much as the initial pain and discomfort was, it only lasted about an hour, in comparison to the 3 day migraines I was getting before."


"Aside from the horrible nausea I have gotten, this pill is very effective and the time window is 2 hours but I have taken it 5 hours later a few times and had no problem I also have unprotected sex regularly. It cleared my acne after my first months dose"


"I am halfway through the tritation pack of Savella.  I haven't cleared the insurance hurdle yet.  I was relieved to learn others have experienced hot flashes and sweating.  No nausea, no sleep problems, but I am either fanning myself or changing out of drippy clothing!   From others' comments, I think I will give it a little more time because my energy level, motivation and pain reduction have definitely been better!  I can actually complete one or two chores per day!"


"This is week 4 for me and I am wondering why I am continuing to take this medicine.  Yes it helps me loose weight but is not enough to keep my sugar levels down long.  Seams to wear off after a few days I have to take my other daily Lantus shot to keep my sugar levels down.  Also don't like the feeling when I combine the two, feel weak, fatigue, tingly   Looking for a new Endo Doc.  Do not feel this is the right solution for me.  I do not like the unknown side effects of trulicity.  I will take this until I find a new Doctor.  Motivating me to loose weight on my own, with proper eating and exercise.  I will be off this soon.. Lantis seems to do the job,  I don't understand why the Endo put me on this, other than wanted me as ginny pig?"


"I think buspar is working really well for me.. I also take zoloft and its a great combination so far. I do get a little dizzy but my anxiety was so bad that I'd rather be a little dizzy than anxious.."


"I've absolutely loved Nexplanon. The pill isn't a good option for me because I don't take it consistently, and vaginal implants are difficult because of my vaginismus. Since I got this product, I've loved not having to give my birth control even a cursory thought. My skin hasn't changed, my weight pattern is the same as before. I've had three periods since I got the implant a year ago. I consider myself lucky, though - I have a naturally high metabolism, my skin has been clear for years, and I've never had really heavy periods. So my risk factors for side effects are negligible."


"Zip

Nada

Always used viagara but is really getting expensive. Tried this and nothing at all.

Back to vitamin V as all my friends call it ."


"It works but I would like to try the extended release tablets as I feel they may be more effective."


"After feeling constipated, I decided to try dulcolax. I took three pills at 9:00 AM hoping to get some relief. At 3:00 PM I was overwhelmed with a very strong urge to poop. My constipation was relieved with a normal, comfortable bowel movement. At 4:30, however I became really sick to my stomach and felt sick. I have had the worst diarrhea of my life for the last 2 hours."


"Took Augmentin for one day and had skin reaction, very red and itchy, not pleasent at all."


"I ended up trying the patch after having too many bad experiences with the pill form. I have fibroids and am extremely irregular (skip months at a time, so I really needed to be on something.

The first few months were a bit rough, but it evened out pretty smoothly after that. I've now been on the patch for over two years and I absolutely love it. I've never had it fall off, and I no longer have any side effects. In fact, 99% of the time I forget it's even there. Not pregnant yet either, so it works there too. Great option if you can't handle the pill."


"I have insomnia worst than most people. I'm 21, I compete in body building and and I'm in great shape.  I never get tired. If I get 3 hours of sleep a night I can still function fine the next day. But it shot me into horrible anxiety and depression from lack of sleep. I've tried all the sleeping medicines. There's no doubt Ambien will knock you out but I always wake up 4 hours later. I just started taking Lunesta because I was so desperate to get sleep.  Lunesta the first night helped me sleep 8 hours. The second night, "last night" it took about an hour to come into affect but I definitely slept 9 hours. No bad taste. I feel amazing. It definitely works all night . If you need a full nights sleep, please try it."


"When I started this medication for my first psychotic episode two years ago it really helped, delusions went away. I was taking a low dose for maintenance, around 10 drops (2mg/ml), which is about 1mg. I didn't have side effects other than lack of motivation. Then after 2 years the doctor said it was safe to stop the treatment, but some months later I had yet another psychotic episode. This time I am taking 20 drops, and it is making me restless and a bit anxious in the stomach. My motivation is really low, so I find difficult to start things on my own, my initiative is almost non existent, so I only do the basics in my life. Probably I will have to take antidepressants too to help with the motivation/initiative, but I haven't started yet."


"I took this pill at the end of April, and went through an emotional rollercoaster. Me and my boyfriend always have unprotected sex (dumb right?) well, I got a very heavy, emotional and painful period about 10 days late. I recently took this pill, about 24 hours after sex. It was a week before my expected period, I recieved my period (I hope) 3 days late. It wasn't like my normal period but it was bleeding, so I'm happy. I've had really bad frequent urination so I have no idea what's causing that. I've experienced nausea and dizziness. Still worried, I'm going to take a few more pregnancy tests. But it seems like it's worked! Fingers crossed! I'm only 17!"


"My blood sugar went down first injection. It continues to be 7 or below morning and two hours after meals. I felt full and think sometimes I didn't eat enough. My weight dropped and continues.

I am now on my 2nd month and for two days I have felt more hungry which I hope will change because I want to progress with weight loss.

I have had next to no side effects. I feel better now but sometimes dizzy if I bend down for instance. I think this is an amazing drug and I feel sure I can get my weight down to target."


"It cleared up my psoriasis completely. The only drawback is that I built up a tolerance to it and it became ineffective after about 3 or 4 years of use."


"This is the 2nd time using this cream....more for a pre-cancerous treatment. I used it only on my nose 8 years ago. I am 10 days in on using Carac cream for my whole face.  I thought there would be only a few areas but I have a lot of sun damage all over my face. Nothing on my nose (already treated), forehead less because I had bangs most of my life.  During the day I use powder foundation to cover most of the dark red blotches so I can look normal. At night I take NyQuil to sleep.
So far I can tolerate it all."


"I have Osteo and Rheumatoid Arthritis and have tried all anti-inflammatorys with no success. I am on opioids for pain management and find it is enough to allow me to get my jobs done but does not completely remove the pain."


"I had Liletta inserted on 09/29/16 the insertion was painful, almost as if i was being stabbed multiple times. I had horrible cramps for about 2 hours afterwards and was swore the next day. I'm experiencing light spotting throughout the day and it's very annoying. I'm also noticing a lot of acne (my skin has been always clear before Liletta was inserted)."


"I take 100 mg of Ultram as soon as I get up in the morning.  It really does help in a prophylactic way.  If I don't take it for some reason, I can tell within a couple of hours because my nerves start tingling.  I also take 100 mg later on during the day, and I have found Ultram to be the best help that I can take on a regular basis."


"Taken for 9 days now. I take this with 1mg Ativan 2x daily as needed. First few days I was tired, had a couple weepy moments, and nausea/full feeling that made me not want to eat. Day 6 I had a bout of insomnia so I'm slowly moving the time I take my meds from the evening to afternoon, then the morning. No real insomnia since - just more of a hard time going back to sleep after waking (back to sleep within 20 mins). I've noticed I'm perkier and friendlier when I talk with people, just can feel some tiredness behind my eyes in the morning usually until the afternoon. I noticed I haven't experienced as many body aches I get from my anxiety as I have in the past. I'm hoping these are all good signs this medication is doing the trick for me."


"I've taken this med for a little over two years now, along with Clomipramine. It really helped a lot in the beginning,relieved general anxiety disorder and many ocd symptoms. You have to give it a chance, meaning the first few weeks you may feel sick and emotional lows but it really helps after a while.

It cured my GAD and again it helps my OCD but not 100 percent.

Still better than the previous meds I tried like Zoloft and Paxil, those never helped me.

I'm currently still on it but I may try another med because it does make me sleepy often now. If nothing else helps with ocd like this med then will stay on it. I'd recommend trying it."


"I've been getting cold sores once or twice a year for the past 20 years and they've always been the same size, so I know my personal cold sores. I felt the signs of getting a cold sore so having heard abreva actually worked I thought I'd give it a shot. At this point the cold sore was a tiny bump no bigger than a pinhead. After trying the pump bottle, my cold sore got a little bigger but I didn't think anything of it at first other than that I must not have caught it in time so that's why it grew more and I kept using abreva. THIS WAS A TERRIBLE THING TO TRY. This cold sore is now the biggest I have ever had in my life, has spread to HALF of my upper lip, and it is so swollen and painful! This is because of abreva  DO NOT USE!"


"So I have been on this medication for almost 2 months. While I'm not losing as quickly as I anticipated,  I am losing nonetheless. The only complaint I have are the side effects. Extreme dry mouth at times and horrible nausea.  I am at the 4 pills a day now, that's when the nausea kicked in. Though, it is a deterrent from eating. Over all, this medication is effective, just be prepared for the side effects"


"I got on the pill to get rid of my acne and regulate my period. I have been on it almost a month and I'm quitting it now. My acne is the worst its ever been, I never really get a lot of acne around my mouth and on my chin. The first week was great. My skin was soft and my acne cleared up a little.Toward the end of the second week my acne had doubled and was horrible! I also get cramps all the time and I hardly got cramps when I wasn't on the pill. I have also got a bladder infection on the third week. For 3 days I would throw up everything I ate or drank. I cramped right under my right ribs, by my belly button, and where I cramp when I have my period. This pill isnt working for me"


"I have been using this for 3 weeks for a back injury. It has not helped me at all. No noticable effect."


"disfunctional spray cause of fast drying of the inside stuff after using."


"I started Lo Loestrin Fe and on my first pack. Two weeks into the pack, my period started. The bleeding has been nonstop for one week. I haven't even started the white pills yet, and I am concerned that this bleeding will keep going as it hasn't lightened up at all. Trying to be patient and wait out this first month to see what happens before contacting my doctor. I am 52, and I've been put on this to level out the hormonal mood shifts and heavy periods while in this perimenopause stage of life. The Fe did provide an energy boost for me as I was slightly low in iron to begin with. Ironically, this mid-pack period has started and I am feeling tired and have daily headaches. Anyone else with similar situation? Pregnancy is non-issue."


"Best cough medicine in the market I was having cough from a week but after l took I dose I dint had any cough next day I read lot of reviews about the medicine some guys got diahhrea don't take any medicines lf you have so weak digestive system next time take lemon tea your cough will go . This is a good medicine don't tell them to reduce the real power of medicine"


"Worked well as a sleep aid but after a few months its became ineffective."


"Very weak medication, suggest to your doctor to prescribe something else."


"Allergy reaction to nuts. Started feeling swelling around mouth, throat.... very scary, feel like I am stopping to breath. This instant relieve. Give it 10-15 minutes till kicks in. WORKS WONDERS. BUT.... you might need a good snooze after a good dose..."


"A month ago, I started Suboxone maintenance therapy after I spent a month in treatment for opiate addiction. It has saved my life; it has improved the quality of my life as well. I have only used opiates once in the last 74 days - a week after I finished inpatient treatment. When I saw my husband's face after the last relapse, I decided not to continue without medication and medical monitoring. Harm reduction is making it possible for me to not be a criminal, able to keep a productive routine, and most amazing - I don't suffer from constantly craving drugs. I am no longer obsessed with doing drugs. We've saved thousands of dollars from my abstinence from drugs on the street. I am learning to love life in a way I never have. It's a miracle."


"I have been on Lutera for  over a year, and I love it. I'm shocked to see so many bad reviews but i guess everyone's body reacts differently so I'd just keep an open mind! I have very light, short periods, I'm no more moody than I would normally be, and haven't gained any weight. I have used other pills in the past that made me very moody and depressed and worsened my PMS symptoms but this really evened me out. the only thing I'm wondering is if this is why i have persistent acne, it never occurred to me until recently because all doctors I've asked just say oh good you're on bc that should be helping. Even if it is the cause of my acne i'm not sure i would switch because it works that good for me."


"Works for about and hour then my excruciating back  spasms came back and it says take one  every 8 hours!"


"Worst decision ever! Everyone I had talked to had good experiences. So I decided to go ahead and get it, despite my gut feeling and all of the horror stories I had heard. I have been bleeding for almost three months now and it is heavy. I have no energy, no sex drive and constant stomach and head pains. I spend a ridiculous amount on pads and tampons, have destroyed all of my underwear and to top it all off, can't afford health care, despite working 40+ hour weeks. PLEASE DON'T GET."


"I have a disc protrusion at c4-5 and c5-6 which causes a narrowing in the foriminal which causes nerve root pain.  In May of 2009 I was in excruciating pain and through the advice of my chiropractor he suggested that I mention to my spine specialist the medication Celebrex.  My specialist said let's give it a try, and WOW what a miracle.  I went from extreme pain, I wasn't even able to sleep on my left side, couldn't walk due to pain running down from my shoulder to my left thumb.  I couldn't even bend to shave my legs.  Well other than a little stomach irritation in the beginning, I have little to no pain. My insurance picks up the price of the medicine with me having to pay a nominal copay of $45.00.  I can now exercise, ride my bike."


"I had tried just about everything for acne from topical creams to antibiotics. I had been on various different antibiotics for acne over the past four years and was ready to stop always taking antibiotics that never truly cleared my skin fully anyway. It's my second month on yaz and I've noticed improvement in my skin without taking the antibiotics. The first month I had a pretty bad breakout, mood swings, bad cramping, and cravings. I noticed a sort of constant breast tenderness and swelling, but especially so nearing my period. My sex drive has also significantly decreased and and in the first month I would actually cry for no reason at all (moodiness). The best part is that my insurance covers this completely. I pay nothing out of pocket"


"Cymbalta saved my life from severe anxiety and panic disorder, as well as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (intense nerve pain). I am 22 and have been on it for a few years. A year ago, I stopped taking it because I wasn't sure I still needed it. Within a week, I was living in hell. Crippled by my emetophobia, anxiety, and pain, I couldn't leave my apartment. I was having up to 10 panic attacks a day, sick to the point of throwing up all the time, stuck in bed. I got back on Cymbalta and in six weeks everything was better again. I can live my life now. Thank you Cymbalta! If I have to be on this med for the rest of my life, that is fine with me."


"Diagnosed bipolar late 30's, lithium threw me into a clinical depression.  Was not hospitalized as I tried tricyclic after tricyclic, with the awful side effects, weight gain and almost a zombie, sleeping all the time.

Researching I discovered MAOI Inhibitors, was put on Nardil.  Had only 15 min. medication checks every two weeks.  At the first I asked, still depressed, "Will I ever be motivated again?", so weary was I of this horrid depression.

At the second medication check, two weeks later, my depression had lifted!  It kept me out of depression, functioning, and as close to 'normal', "whatever that is", for decades.  It saved my life."


"On Remicade for 10 months. At each infusion the dose has gone up with no lasting relief. Now at 800mg every six weeks relief lasted only 2 weeks, 2 days. Back on Prednisone and Darvocet until I see doctor tomorrow. Nothing has worked except combination of Arava and Methotrexate. Had to leave Methotrexate several years ago because of high liver enzymes. At this point nothing seems to give relief except Prednisone and I WILL not take that even more than a few days. Possibly adding Arava to Remicade after tomorrow. I am getting very tired of constant pain."


"Immediately helped my sleep pattern from taking the first tablet, however the vivid dreams were quite bizzare but not a concern. However I did suffer with swelling to feet and legs almost straight away, I was advised to stick with it for another month hoping the swelling would settle. Unfortunately this didn't happen and i also developed a generalised muscle ache which was quite annoying as my anxiety and mood had improved quite significantly."


"While this drug worked very well to treat a gum infection, it gave me a terrible rash on my back and chest two days after finishing my course. Allergic reaction I guess. I am also allergic to penicillin."


"I get periods every 10 - 20 days which lasts for 10 - 14 days, and is quite heavy. The only upside is that I'm not pregnant so it works, but I thinks mostly because of the bleeding. I'm going next week to have it removed. And I've given it nearly 2 years to settle down."


"I've been on Lexapro for two months now. The first 4 weeks I had very minor side effects. Dry mouth, dilated pupils, etc. VERY minor and only lasted 2 days each. Two months later I can tell you this medication is amazing. I suffered from very periodic anxiety which turned into panic attacks on some occasions. It was always in the back of my mind as to if or when it was going to happen. That's no way to live. I feel focused with clear thought now. I still laugh and feel every emotion...I just don't worry about things like I used to before Lexapro. I'm happier and have a more positive outlook on difficult situations in my life now. I find myself being much more social now too. Miracle medication for sure!"


"I finally got the relief otc products couldn't give me"


"I've just completed week 1, 1 pill in the morning. So, here's my week one observation. Only side effect was day one woozy feeling. Other than that nothing else. I still feel hungry but my response to hunger is different. When I'm hungry I'm really only interested in not feeling hungry anymore. So I don't really care what I eat to accomplish that. So I'll eat something healthy. Whereas before I would obsess more about eating something super yummy and fattening to satisfy more than hunger. I feel overall more determined in getting things accomplished. Still experience cravings in the evening and I'm hoping the addition of the evening pill in week 2 will help these cravings subside. Overall experience has been positive."


"I've been on both and yes you have to see a Dr. who specializes in this disorder and you also have to take it one hour before you eat both levo and synthroid because I feel different I've done it taking after I ate and didn't work and then I followed the doctors orders take one hour before breakfast. I'm on 75mcg and my weight is doing great my levels normal if I keep on the medicine and take it like my doctor said to take it and I go to many different specialist's because I have many medical problems and I'm only 30 but this thyroid be thing started after I had my daughter so no do not take it at night after meals cuz your body will not absorb the medicine correct the medicine needs to be with a full glass of water and no food so it can work thru"


"I am diagnosed bipolar II. I've been taking this for 3 years now. I increased the dosage up to 400mg at one point and became very dizzy and nauseated. Although, for the majority of the time, I took 150mg twice a day, but now the effectiveness is wearing down.  I give this medicine a 7 because it definitely helped stabilize my moods and I became less irritable.  I'm discontinuing my use this week to try lithium.  I hear great things about lithium and am tired of the inconsistency I've been getting with lamotrigine as of late. (Also, the possibility of developing Steven Johnson's syndrome is totally not worth it and long-term use of lamotrigine doesn't make you immune to it of course!)"


"I was put on Clindamycin 300 mg for a tooth infection, every 6-7 hours, 3x daily.

I'm a 21 year old female and I had no problems with this medication. I was very careful to not lay down AT LEAST 30 minutes after taking it. Sometimes I waited 40 minutes-1 hour just to be safe. The only time I experienced very mild heart burn was after eating chili and a diet coke, both acidic foods. So I recommend staying away from anything acidic or spicy while taking this pill. In addition, I took a probiotic every day. Make sure not to take it within 2 hours of taking the antibiotic. The only other symptom I experienced was some drowsiness. My infection cleared up in 5 days. Very easy experience."


"First gout attack in 8 years. I take a low dose daily of allopurinol. Managed to allow myself to get dehydrated (too much coffee, allergy medication) and also was not exactly watching what I was eating and drinking. Woke up with that familiar big toe pain, by evening I couldn't walk, and the pain was so bad even after taking two aleve and a Percocet I was up most of the night in excruciating pain. Called my family doc in the morning and he called this methelpredsolone in to my pharmacy. My prescription plan picked it up and it cost me $5! Took the 1st day course as directed. Woke up this morning with only slight discomfort! I have never had a gout attack that calmed down this quickly. Usually did the indocin thing which took much longer!"


"Have only been on Pristiq less than 1 week and previously taking Lexapro, which did nothing for me. On Lexapro for years and accepted it when doctors told me that I may not feel better than what I do. With Pristiq someone has turned the light on in my brain and there is a distinct shift in my mood. I hope I have found the right antidepressant to help me recover and feel like entering the land of the living again...fingers and toes crossed. I will keep you posted...no noticeable side effects as yet."


"Made my anxiety worse. I could not have caffeine while on this medication . Weening myself off now. "


"I took this pill for years...since I was probably 20. Never had any side effects or issues, was very happy with it. Kept a healthy weight (even lost some) and it helped my skin. But ultimately, it didn't do what it was supposed to. Took it like clockwork and got pregnant..."


"I've been taking it for 2 months, 200 mg daily. The first 2 weeks were great, all pain was gone. The pain gradually came back and I had so many flare ups even when I was taking it.  My doctor just gave me Prednisone 20 mg daily to combine with Celebrex. I started yesterday and most of the pain has gone, however, my doctor advised not to take Prednisone for more than one week in order to prevent having the serious side effects, such as bone problems."


"Horrible experience. Couldn't differ between dreams and actuality. Unfortunately lost custody of my child while on this medication because the paternal grandparents convinced me to sign "insurance papers" which were actually custody papers. They knew what my mental state was at the time due to Celexa. I was very easily agitated and very delusional. At one point I thought my daughter had turned into a puppy. Another point, I thought I took a trip that was about an hour away and got back home within 5 minutes with no recollection of the trip back. These were actually dreams that I thought was happening in reality. I was in such a horrible mental state that I couldn't even tell that I wasn't myself, that I was delusional,  or irrational."


"I was prescribed this medication when I was 11 years old after having sleeping problems, basically since birth. Started taking one a night, built up an immunity, ended up taking three every night as a teenager.  At 19 years old, I decided I was sick of being dependent on this medication.  I slowly weaned myself off of them  but struggled to get a normal night sleep for about, a year.  Then, started taking Tylenol p.m. for sleep which, can be detrimental if used long term. I'm now 22 and take three melatonin at night. Please, DONT GIVE CLONIDINE TO YOUR CHILDREN!  I am technically, still in the process of weaning myself off of sleeping meds, and it's been years."


"this scary because I had a blood transfusion because of heavy bleeding, I thought I would get relief but no. I have been in pain since day one  I would deal with everything if it would just stop my bleeding .The cramps are so severe Ibuprofen isn't even working I'm definitely switching . I would advise ladies to take note of all these stories because if I had saw this I wouldn't take this at all. I'm in hell right now"


"I have been on depo for a year and 3 months and have had no issue until now. It worked perfectly after I had my laparoscopy when I was diagnosed with stage I endometriosis. Now after this past month I've had bleeding and I have had 4 flare ups.... more than I had before my laparoscopy had been done. Went to the doctor with severe abdominal pain, nonstop bleeding and he had to take every gynecological test your mind can come up with, all of them came back negative. Doc is suggesting I go onto Lupron with add-back therapy since it's a lot stronger. Didn't have any side effects with the depo at all. I just hope with my new medicine administration of Lupron on the 24th of this month I will feel some much needed relief"


"55 yrs old, could only sleep one hour at a time, two or three hours per night. Brain dead all day, suicidal due to anxiety issues. Now sleep 5 or 6 hrs per night, I feel almost normal. No side effects, taking 5 mg at bed time, 5 more when I wake up in 3 hrs."


"I have been taking 1500mg a day of Keppra for 7 years.  I have had two perfectly healthy babies.  I did not breast feed.  I didn't want to take the chance.  I was just happy they were born normal and healthy.  At first it made me very, very tired but after a couple months, that subsided.  I did start to gain weight after taking it but I thought that was from the pregnancies or a thyroid issue.  I had no idea so many people gained weight with it and had irritability problems.  Those are some things I have lived with for the last 7 years that could be a result of this.  It does however, control my seizures.  I have grand mal seizures and had a few over the years because I could not afford to buy the Keppra."


"I was experiencing nerve pain from hernia and knee operations, being a single parent and running a business a while back had me run off my feet and feeling nerve pain running up the bottom of my feet and through my knee joints into the groin, Lyrica has so far taken most of that pain away.
What I didn't realise was it also helps with anxiety and depression, after 3 weeks I noticed a calmness I thought I could never achieve, did some googling on the benefits of Lyrica last night and was amazed at everyone's experience on Lyrica.
This is great stuff, would recommend it highly, thank you Lyrica, back to fun time with the kids again."


"Side effects like extreme fatigue and shortness of breath limited my dosage which limited the drug's effectiveness at pain relief."


"Taking 2000mg a day with mild side effects.  Tremors in my hands when I first started and when the dose was increased.  Those have since stopped.  Also experience some sleep problems, but this could also be due to another medication.  My body responded very well to the medication and my condition has significantly improved in just a few months.  Hoping for continued success on the medication."


"Honestly so happy that I was prescribe this!!! Never ever had problems with my skin and then recently I was diagnosed with 'mild acne' and given this .. Absolutely over the moon with how much its cleared up my face and I had results within the first night of using it! Skin is dry in the morning but overall  would definitely recommend this product!!"


"I am a health professional who has suffered from anxiety since 11yrs old, I am now 32. I spent most of my life wandering what on earth was up with me as I worried about everything! I couldn't understand why I felt so low. This made me worry more! I could actually spend hrs and hrs explaining my symptoms/ stories etc.

I knew that antidepressants could help my mood and anxiety but I was petrified of the side effects. 18mths ago I decided to try Citalopram as I was so ill. I swear this has saved my life! I never thought that I could feel normal again. It's a miracle! I now look back and cant believe how bad my anxiety really was, I must be strong to have put up with it for so long. Anxiety can really ruin your life, act now."


"I have had migraines for 6 years and have tried every medication from, Topamax to Zonegran to Depakote. Since I've started taking baclofen 20mg x 3 times daily, 6 months ago, I have had one breakthrough headache and even then I was able to function. I'm not saying baclofen is the "perfect migraine prevention medicine" but for me, it's been my miracle pill."


"I am extremely disheartened in reading the negative reviews.  I have taken Effexor since 1993.  I began taking 37.5 mg and later lived for one year in a private psychiatric hospital for a suicide attempt. My psychiatrist, then the President of the American Psychiatric Association, increased my dose to 600 mg per day.  This miracle drug kept and still keeps me alive some 23 years later.  I have experimented with not taking this or any medication.  I never presented with any withdrawal symptoms.  However, like clockwork, on the 3rd day w/o it I begin to cry tears over nothing.  By the 4th day I find myself in the midst of severe depression.
within an hour of beginning my regimen again, I am back to my normal.
Do not be afraid to try this medicati"


"I've had it put in since 6 weeks after my 2nd son was born. It's been 6 months. Bled and spotted for 3 months and then stopped. I love everything except the mood swings and anxiety. I'm not the same with my family. Also my sex drive but if I can only get a hold on this anger I believe my sex drive would get better. Going to talk with my doctor about it and go from there. Hopefully it gets better."


"Unbelievable!  I am a health and fitness professional and have tried everything including naturopathic remedies to control my migraines, high blood pressure and anxiety.  A 25 mg daily dose of Metoprolol has been life changing. I was mostly anti-medicine until I was finally talked into trying this.

I was having 10-15 severe migraines per month, causing frequent ER visits, stroke level high blood pressure and severe performance anxiety.  Immediately after beginning this medicine I have few headaches and they are rarely severe.  My blood pressure is down and my anxiety is significantly improved.

I have no problems exercising.  I had to adjust to being sleepy but it doesn't seem to affect my very active lifestyle much anymore."


"It is amazing pain relief. I built a tolerance so quickly! I could take 1 and feel so much better and soon it was one and a half 7.5s and weeks later two 7.5s. Lidoderm patch and TENS unit helped some but you feel like you need the medicine so very easy to convince your body that you NEED it. Gained 10 lbs. After 3 years and some physical therapy plus Neurontin. PM doctor switched me to Nucynta. No tolerance to that yet! They have injected my intercostal nerves with cortisone to see if it was nerve damage from the back to back pregnancies. Constipation has been horrible. I need two Vicoprofen 10s every 8 hours but oh well. Some relief is nice."


"Just had Toradol injection for very painful wrist tendinitis. My belly is killing me. Can't tell if my wrist is better because all I can concentrate on us my tummy pain. I am not sure it isn't worse than my wrist pain is/was. Gosh I hope this stops soon!"


"This medicine is AMAZING for pain.  I have trigeminal neuralgia and I take it at night. It gives you a calm feeling and makes you not care about the pain. I just had my dose doubled and it takes a few days to get used to the medicine and/or new levels and the higher dose knocked me out for literally two days, just like when it was first prescribed.  But I can't rave about it enough."


"I am married and just 2 months ago had a baby girl. I wanted a way to wait a good amount of time without being worried about taking a pill or getting pregnant. When I had this done I took 2 tylonol before I went in and IT DID NOT HURT ONE BIT. I went when I was on my period so this way my cervix would be slightly opened. All I've experience is a bit of cramps and some back pain. My period stop right when it was put in, I was amazed. I love this type of birth control and my husband doesn't feel it so it's perfect."


"It work well. I lost about 40lb in three months ."


"The drops worked okay but I started to notice joint pain in my hands and legs. My legs have an almost a restless legs feeling.  I stopped the drops for a few days and everything went away.  Started the drops again yesterday and woke up right back with the pains and tingling.  I'm supposed to use the drops 4x a day. I have no clue why the drops would cause these affects but wanted to share in case someone else might have the same problem."


"Every person is different, this birth control was not for me. I gained 15+ pounds in 5 months, crazy mood  swings and very anxious all the time, Zero sex drive. I had it removed after 5 months I just couldn't take it anymore."


"Didn't work well on the migraine and made me feel like I was roofied. Both times I tried it for migraines I slept for 12+ hours and felt out of it for many more hours. I know it works well for some folks, just not for me apparently."


"Taking Lyrica hasn't helped my Fibrmyalgia symptoms at all, and even though I'm on a starter dose of 75 mg once per day the side effects are terrible!

I tremble so badly it appears as if I have  Parkinson's disease. I can't hand write at all and let alone many other daily functions.

It has affected my thinking terribly and makes my mind race and my thoughts are very jumbled which makes me feel extremely anxious, plus when talking my speech is very shaky sounding and very fast and slurry.

I also have a lot of trouble urinating. I find it extremely difficult to empty my bladder and at times very painful.

I was already taking sleeping tablets ( Temazipan), but Lyrica has made getting to sleep even worse.

My chest and nose both feel congested."


"I first went on Doxy for 6 months with little to no improvement. My dermatologist continued to prescribe me Doxy, along with Epiduo, 2 medicated face washes, Aczone and Tazorac. It has been over a month and I am beyond frustrated. I have seen no improvement on my cystic cheek acne, and every morning I wake up to 7-15 new whiteheads. I want to go on accutane but my dermatologist tells me I am not a good candidate. I hate being ashamed of my face and feeling ugly because of my stupid acne."


"I noticed a difference after the first pill. Things are back to normal now."


"The first meds prescribed to me (NZ) male 19, Stopped taking this immediately, experience almost all the side effects and it is not worth it for me as the body seems to hate it. May be worth a shot for you but I'm not taking this rubbish for 4 weeks to get any benefit for ADHD symptoms not worth all these side effects IMO. Plus I was told I can't stop it once I build it up in my system. No thanks feels like poison in me"


"I take it for arthritis, only when I am desperate, about twice a week. Just one tablet and it works well."


"I just started this pill, this is my first month and I'm about two weeks in.  I feel like no one this new has left any comments (I've been searching for answers and relatable experiences on it).  I figure I might help a few people who are going to be in my position.  My breast have gotten a bit bigger in just two weeks (half a cup size).  No moodiness so far, in fact it may have bettered my mood.  On my 11th day (today) I got a light period.  I had cramps, but not Normal cramps and no where near as painful.  When I woke up I felt pain in my mid abdomen, right above my belly button.  As for weight gain, I feel bloated, but I always have problems with bloating - so I would need more time before I blame the birth control."


"I'm on day 2 of a ten day treatment right now,  and this has to be at least the 3rd time I've had to take these.  They work really well.  I'm just very prone to bv. A new partner,  taking a bath,  wrong underwear. .. can set it off. But MY GOSH I hate taking these things. Mainly because of the horrible taste in my mouth for the whole ten days I take them.  I eat constantly in an attempt to get rid of the taste.  I maybe get slightly nauseous for a lil bit if I take them on an empty stomach.  Otherwise,  not bad.  But,  too me, the taste in my mouth is horrible."


"Dicyclomine was ordered by my doctor to treat my irritable bowel syndrome.  I have found it to work very well for that purpose.  I would get terrible stomach cramps and diarrhea after eating sometimes it would start before i would even finish my food.  If I take this drug about a half hour before I eat, I have close to no symptoms.  The only thing is that I wish it was given to me sooner, it would have saved me quite a bit of suffering."


"I have done tons of research... prevacid or dexilant etc are meant to be taken for about 2 months..... many people have been on it for years!
acid reflux can be caused by TOO LITTLE ACID, maybe the medication is making it worse, I am now feeling side effects? (nausea and stomach cramping off and on for last year) or perhaps Apple cider vinegar does neutralize the reflux?
If I forgot one pill, I would have heartburn by midday. I had the regular ACV, but they said it has to be organic with mother of the apple? A LOT of people can be helped with ORGANIC APPLE CIDER VINEGAR...
after a few days, with no medication, I have NO HEARTBURN.  just one tablespoon of ACV with one tsp of honey in warm water, morning and at supper, try it! :-)"


"if you have anxiety or depression DO NOT i repeat Do NOT take this medication i was only on it a couple weeks but for two weeks it made me so anxious and so depressed i wanted to kill myself. this drug made me suicidal  luckily there was no self harm but i would strongly advise against it!"


"I highly dislike this BC! My doctor prescribed me Loryna because I have PCOS causing irregular periods. So I decided to try so that I can regulate my period & it has been hell! I have been really emotional, literally crying about everything. I get really crazy break downs to where I'll sit in my car & cry for almost an hour. I fight with my husband over the most stupid things. & I over think about everything. Because of being depressed I turned to marijuana to cope. It is not me to feel depressed or to feel as if I wanna hurt myself. & the first time I got my period my cramps were so painful to where I didn't want to move. I had a huge blood clot that came out which never happens. Ever since taking this pill my face has been covered in acne"


"Worked quickly (or it was in my head), lots of yawning, by week 4 very drowsy in the morning on my 90 minute drive to work so started taking it after I got to work which is better for society in general. Sometimes restless sleep. Having said that, I had a lot negative thoughts about my life that I don't notice or dwell on now so I am really good with these minor side effects. I'm much happier, less irritable and family recognized it easily. I'm genuinely happy with it and thankfully no nasty side effects (thus far)."


"I was on atenolol for 15 yrs with leg swelling, facial swelling, headaches, joint aches, insomnia, no restful sleep, erratic bp in maybe 1 hr. Switched to lis/hctz 10/12.5 3 yrs ago. The only pill I take. BP steady 125/80. Throat sore, swelling closed, mouth breather, headache 12 hr after taking, tinnitis, dizzy when rising, the began Vertigo, real vertigo. Dr said food allergy, stopped lin/hctz for 3 days = BP high, no tinitis, no dizzy, no headache. 3 days ago had bleeding floater in left eye. This morning Optamologist said lin/hhctz can effect floater and maculer degeneration. Deciding what to do.... lose 50 pounds and get off drug! Or put up with side effects and go blind?"


"Be careful of medically induced hypo mania. I took this for years. Helped with depression and I decided to put up with increased anxiety and racing thoughts. Without my realizing it, I became extremely manic and caused irrational and destructive behavior. Thank God, switched doctors and medicines (to Lamictal). I wish I had known this can induce manic behavior! Please be careful because mania lies to you and makes you think all is well."


"After trying several high blood pressure medicines this has worked wonderfully to reduce the blood pressure and eliminate excess fluid and sodium. I take one pill 325/12.5 mg in the morning and have added Bystolic 10mg (another great medicine for HBP and Mitral Valve Prolapse) at night."


"Doctors are not sure what is wrong with me. My symptoms activate during the night, around 2 to 4am the pain in stomach sometimes boating and other times a burning sensation that feels Bentyl. I have had this medicine sitting on my coffee table for 3 days without taking it because I hate taking pills and I was waiting for another attack. Doc wanted me to take them 3 times a day. This morning at 6am I was having the pain. The pain in my back is 10 times worse then my stomach. So I took one Bentyl and within 10 mins the pain is gone. This was my first pill that I have taken that actually took the pain away. I have an attack about 3 days a week."


"I'm on my fourth week of Bydureon. Last 5 days I'm so nauseous. I love the fact that is once a week. I have had no lumps at injection site. The needle is a bit fat, but it is real short. Hard to get it to go in the skin so I kind of go at it fast. It sure has curbed my appetite. But I don't know how much longer I can handle this nausea."


"I am not sure what the issue is with people having these crazy side effects. I know people will can have some type of side effects but, to completely bash this med is irresponsible. If side effects are happening either A. The dose is to high, I suggest talking to your doc to re adjust it (high doses of AB's aren't always a good thing) or B.take zofran along side it, this helps with the stomach issues (warning: it can cause constipation). DO NOT lay down for at least an hour after taking it, and take it with a standard 16.9 fl oz water bottle. The only con for me is the size of a 300mg capsule(if you have a phobia or issues about swallowing big pills, use the smaller 150mgx2)"


"With the recent changes to pain medication guidelines I was reduced from opiates and given Lyrica to try. RUN, don't walk away from this medicine. My memory got fuzzy, I stumbled and fell in injurying my back, it keeps new synapsis from forming in your brain (I.e. brain damage long term), I have rashes, etc.  Most importantly, I started having thoughts of death. All of this on 50mg at bed time.

In a few years I'm sure TV lawyers will be soliciting patients for lawsuits.  This is a strong chemical to introduce into a already weak person's system."


"This is my second go around with this birth control the first 3 years I had NO period or spotting the entire 3 years. It was amazing. The second implant I've gotten was not so much the same. I don't get periods but I do get spotting. It's usually at the beginnig of the month or not at all. It never last more than a week and it's so light I sometimes forget it happening. The only side affects that I have noticed are acne and mood swings. I'm due to have it removed in December of 2015, however I'm probably going to get it removed sooner, due to the acne. I can't take it anymore!!! After 6 years on nextplanon I will more than likely resort back to the pill."


"threw new applicator away by mistake you will not send me a new one I had to wait 30 days before my insurance would let me get a new one so  I'm out my money all I have is the cartridge with no way to use it   I THINK YOUR ENGINEERS SUCK WHE FLO VENT IS SO SIMPLETO USE   WH"


"I don't have anything to complain about besides a big decrease in appetite, which is good and bad. It helps me eat healthier and eat the right portions but I almost feel like I have to force myself to eat now and I Love food. So I've ended up shedding a few pounds which I'm already tiny enough. But besides only a little spotting and my first period was shortened and minor cramping, its working out fine for me! I was on Lo estrin  prior and that made me feel a little moody and emotional and  brought down my sex drive as well."


"First was put on Zoloft. Went off it due to the side effects. Then was put on Celexa. No side effects, and after only a week I feel great. The medicine works."


"Made it up to the 4 a day dose. Unfortunately, NO reduced cravings yet and still very hungry. No pick up in my motivation to diet or exercise either. Hopeful but beginning to think it's not going to work for me. Others report immediate weight loss. Not here!!! Also, feeling a little more anxious and agitated at this dose. :/ The odd thing is, is that it has helped tremendously with my chronic back pain. I would stay on it just for that reason. Had significantly lowered my pain level."


"Struggling with treatment resistant depression for over 17 years. Very hopeful this would work. Well after the first five days I had an "EXTREME REACTION." After the third day started to fell a little confused, no appetite. But on the six day on my way to work I missed my exit on the highway. Things only got worse, stumbling, forgetfulness, etc. On my way home I started jumping curbs on highway and trying to drive into the other lanes of oncoming traffic. So confused i didn't know which direction I was traveling and could not get off the highway. I put others and inlcuding myself into so much harm. Thank God I was pulled over and taken to hospital via ambulance. Scared the holy crap out of me. Taken off this drug immediately."


"Did not react to this well. Had a concussion and occipital neuralgia diagnosis after a car accident and was prescribed this. I do not take meds well so not surprised that this wasn't good for me. I had an immediate reaction of  extreme shivering and body shaking that I had to deal with until the meds faded. Did not reduce head tension or pain and just made me really scared by my bodies reaction. I never took another."


"I was diagnosed with PCOS 2 months ago. I tried Junel Fe before Loestrin Fe but kept throwing up everyday due to nausea/morning sickness. Then my doctor switched me to Loestrin Fe. Now I only get mild nausea during first line of the pack. My periods are normal now, they last 3 days (1.5 days of 2 placebo pills) and 1 day of first pill of the new pack. My acne gotten out of control though completely filled around chin area but I heard it takes 4 months for your body to get used to hormonal changes. So I'm hoping with time I will see the effect. I was on Balzina last year and stopped after 8 months when my periods became normal.... it cleared my face too so I'm hoping Loestrin will do the same."


"If used as directed this medication works great. I have been taking the 8mg/2 mg 3 x a day for over 4 years and never had any problems. It works great for withdrawal and maintenance."


"My kids and I have taken Zyrtec for years. It has worked wonderfully for us all BUT. . . It wasn't until my most recent migraine that I realized Zyrtec was making us deathly ill. It dawned on me that my migraines occurred once a month right when we ran out of Zyrtec. The horrible  migraines were withdrawal symptoms!  I immediately stopped giving it to my kids and taking it myself. Yes nose started dripping and I have little hives on my arm but OMG I haven't felt this good in YEARS. No joke, since all 4 of have stopped taking it we've all lost weight. I've lost about 7-10 lbs in a month. My kid's clothes are almost too big. My head is CLEAR, no fog, no drowsy, groggy feeling. I feel like myself again. Do not take Zyrtec!"


"My dr gave me Voltaren Gel to help relieve my Ilio-Inguinal Neuralgia as a sample.  I don't have a specific dosage, just when it hurts, apply the cream.  It works amazing!  I mainly use it for break-through pain between doses, and days like this with storms and hectic days at work, I'm able to concentrate on work instead of trying to take my mind off of the pain.  Does this come in gallon size with a push handle?  Maybe a bath bomb I could put in my jacuzzi tub?  Just askin..."


"I've been on this medication for 2 months and this is the best I have felt in the 4 years since I was diagnosed with bipolar I. Only problem is I've gained about 10 pounds."


"I have been on Lybrel since it came out. It is an absolute miracle pill for me. I tell everyone about it. I have had no bleeding, no cramps since I have been on it. I used to have very heavy bleeding and terrible cramps. This pill has changed my life."


"I have been having migraines since I was very young and now 60. I found  I couldn't travel anywhere and couldn't go out in the sun. I've have been taking zomig for 4 years and usually  it just stops my migraine  straight  away must admit it has given me my life back . But yesterday  while I was driving a long distance  it came on quick
And zomig didn't work as well, I think I  took it to late, when I finaly got home in agony all the side afects started I felt realy ill my throat closed and pain shot around my neck and back. Hopefully this won't happen again."


"I used the patch a couple of years ago and do not remember the side effects I am having now. I am nauseous, my breasts are swollen and sore, and I am retaining water. My moods are through the roof and I hope this levels out soon."


"This medication has done wonders for me and a lot of other people I know I swear I wouldn't ever wish panic anxiety disorder on my worst enemy's. It is the worst and I'm sure you all know that Klonopin has helped so very much. I Would have to say that it is definitely the best benzo and I have been on all of them at one point or another."


"I started using Depo when I was 15 and was on it for about 5 or so years and again awhile later. I loved it, had no periods, no side effects, no increase in acne. I didn't gain weight until I started it again around the time I turned 21 and I think it was just the birthday, not the Depo and stopped taking it around 22-23. Now, I am 25 and started again. I am on my first 3 month injection and my hormones have been absolutely nuts. I am driving my boyfriend insane, crying and complaining all the time about nothing really. I am halfway through this cycle and WILL NOT be getting another injection. Over the last month, I feel like a completely different person. "


"I've had Trigeminal Neuralgia for over  16 years and the only relief I've ever had was Carbamezapine. Until recently Walmart was trying to save me money giving me the equivalent,  Epitol,  which I was told I'd of the dance formulary. This can't be correct,  because I can barely function due to being extremely sleepy with this drug. I had taken Carbamezapine for so long and it worked 11 on a scale of 1-10. Changing my medicine without my consent was not a cool thing to do and I earn others to make sure that they look into these things before taking different medicines. I'm not pleased with Epitol at all."


"I found Suboxone to be a miracle. It saved my life. Finally someone figured it out. Thank You."


"57 years old woman. Began prep early.  If time allows, taper your pre test diet - you'll be GLAD you did! No red meat or fried foods 4 days before, chicken and veggies 3 days before, no meat, dairy or whole grains 2 days before, then only approved clear liquids day before as per Suprep instructions.

Filled prescription early and chilled thoroughly.  Took anti nausea meds 1 1/2 hours before I began drinking prep each time. Drank cold mixture as quickly as possible w straw then brushed my teeth. Chased with sips of cold water at a more comfortable pace. Finished within allotted time. Taste was not pleasant, but not so nasty as I feared. Lots of burping within 15 minutes. I experienced mild cramping as the potion began to do its job. Began to empty at the 1 hour mark. Cramping stopped with first bowel motion. Watery yellow stools continued almost nonstop for the first hour then tapered off, ending after 3 hours for a total of 4 hours from start to finish. I was able to rest until time for round two.

Took second chilled dose 10 hours later. Tasted worse, perhaps because my tongue recognized the taste. Felt bloated before I got halfway through so wasn't able to chug the prep this time; chased with all 32 oz of cold water. This made me so cold I had to find a sweater! No cramping this time, but more burping. Bright yellow liquid output began in less than an hour. Emptying and burping continued for an hour. 2 hours start to finish."


"Suboxone is a miracle pill -- it saved my life!  Withdrawal symptoms immediately disappear and very little side effects."


"Absolutely love it. No period, no mood changes, no bleeding, no nothing but a little bit more acne but could be from stress right now because I've been dealing with a lot. But my body got used to it within a month."


"My girlfriend and I had to use this contraceptive twice. Both times it WORKED! I'm only a teenager so this was very important because I didn't have the money to support a baby nor did she. It was a very grueling month waiting for her period to come but it did. Her period did come about 4 days late. But if you do take it within the time, I had her take it 30 minutes before both times and it should be bound to work."


"Works great for the heartburn. Received a sample from the Doctor and took it for 10 days no problem till day 9/10. Started with terrible abdominal pain, gas, and diarrhea. Still have diarrhea about an hour after I eat and first thing in the morning. Stopped taking the medicine about 5 days ago. Will have to go back to the Protonix and deal with the breakthrough heartburn. The difference between Protonix and Dexilant is that the Dexilant has a short acting and long acting medication in it to prevent break through heartburn."


"300mg. Took medicine once a day for ten days. First day went smoothly, second day and onward, terrible headache in the center of my forehead and on the right side of my head. No other side effects. Around the fourth day, I called the pharmacist and they advised that I take it at night before bed before the headache sets in. Best decision."


"I just started to take the pill, it's been almost a week come Sunday and I've noticed irritation of the skin. Especially my legs super itchy for the past two days. I've never experience this before until I started using this. After today no more for this pill"


"I have been HIV positive for over 16 years.  I have taking HIV meds since 2004.  A trick that I learn when taking Complera that may help some people.  Complera has the drug rilpivirine in it.  This drug is marketed under the name edurant.  I use take it by itself before I started on Complera.  The trick is to take the drug in the morning at breakfast but only take it halfway through the meal.  By doing it this way you coat your stomach before and the food at the other end helps with the absorption of the medicine.  By doing it this way I have never had any stomach issues, and by taking it in the morning I have no sleep issues.  I am currently taking Complera with Tivicay.  My T-cells are over a 1000, and my viral load is undetectable."


"I previously posted on here in December 2016 when I first started taking them for Depression, Anxiety, Trichtillomania . I was on 30mg of paroxetine until now, I've had to come off them. I've been a complete zombie for 6 months, I slept 12 hours a night, had no interest in doing anything, exercise was impossible. Headaches, snacking, lack of concentration. It was like I still had anxiety just the symptoms were numbed. Since stopping taking this medicine I feel alive. I am still sick but I am able to get up and go to the gym and I only need 8 hours or less sleep. I came off cold turkey, it was very stupid but I needed relief from this med. I'm feeling much more alive. I think I'll need meds again but I won't be using paroxetine (or sertraline or citalopram!)"


"Better than Lovenox, only once a day and it doesn't sting as much. Additionally I have less nausea and tiredness on it than I did with either Lovenox or Coumadin. However the nausea is still not great. I am looking forward to switching to Pradaxa and eliminating the need for shots, and hopefully, the nausea."


"Just had my 1st colonoscopy using Suprep. Ok, here's the deal: It tastes really awful. Really, really awful.  By far, the absolute worst thing I have ever tasted.  One half hour after the first dose   32 oz of water and apple juice, I projectile vomited.  At one point, my system was being flushed from both ends, which indicated that it actually did work.  Oy.  Relief.

I was unable to finish the next morning's prep without having a violent reaction.  I vomited almost immediately about 5 times.  Was completely unable to keep this stuff down.
Still, apparently, I was cleaned out enough to go ahead with the Colonoscopy. If there's an alternative to this horribleness in 10 years, sign me up!
Also- what's up with the price? Outrageous."


"I've never reacted to any antibiotic, so I had no idea what I was in for with this.

I made the mistake this morning (day 3) of taking pill 5. I had no appetite yesterday and was very lethargic and agitated. Really out of sorts, but 1/2 functioning.

Today has been a nightmare of nausea, chills, body aches and joint pain, exhaustion, headache, ear and jaw pain, etc. That's not the full list.

Doc pulled me off and moved me to Augmentin, but I have a LOT going on the next 4 days, and I came here hoping to figure out how long it will be before the side effects are gone. I can't get anything down, nothing helps the pain; I'm essentially useless.

Also: hasn't anyone heard of Pyridium?? You don't need to suffer! OTC and numbs urinary tract!"


"I felt better during the day after about a week, but the side effects have been unpleasant. Mainly the lack of sleep. Since the first day I started I couldn't get a good quality night sleep. Only 2 weeks in and I'm already feeling how I did before. Did the depression and anxiety go away? Yeah, for a short time. But it just gives me this fake happiness that I can't really describe.  Its like a lot of the sadness goes away, but so does many other good feelings. I may be because of the lack of sleep/appetite/sex drive, but all in all, hasn't really helped me."


"I just began my dose at 3 milligrams on saxenda and I have to say this is truly the only thing that has ever genuinely surpressed my appetite to the point of having to force myself to eat. My experience with side effects was definitely nausea however I find its not that bad. The odd stomach pain has occurred too. This medication for sure works and I've already lost 8 pounds only being on it a week (crazy!). I'm conerned about the unknown of the medication but really want to get my weight problem under control as I have been over weight my whole life. I had to fight for coverage with great west life but in the end it was approved for me."


"It works! Me and my husband stay in different cities and were meeting after 3 whole months. We were so into it that we didn't bother to get the condom lying in the closet. He thought he would pull it out at the correct time but he couldn't. I was terrified. My period was due in a week. I spent the night contemplating whether it was safe to take the pill because I never took it before. But we were not ready for a baby and so I took it the next morning, after almost 12hrs. I didn't experience any side effects as given on the package. My period got delayed by 3 days and finally got it yesterday. It's great so chill! Easy to say this now but those 3 days were hell. Better be safe!"


"I had been on Lexapro 20mg for years and was tired of the weight gain and thought I was okay enough to be off of it.  Weaned myself off of it over a long time and went through all of the brain zaps, confusion, exhaustion, etc.  But, finally I was off it.  I was starting to get depressed again and not very clear thoughts but I thought I could handle it.  Then, I got the flu and was on Tamiflu (never again) and all of the depression and anxiety raised its ugly head again. Could not shake it.  The horrible thoughts, depression, hopelessness, insomnia, etc. I started a week ago back on Lexapro 5mg and already feel much better.  I am starting to get more tired during the day but I do not care.  I may bump up to 10mg. If you need it, you need it."


"Lolo is the first birth control that's been right me. I tried Seasonale and Marvelon and spotted non stop, gained 10lbs in a year and experienced acne, which I'm lucky to rarely have. Lolo cleared my skin, I never spotted after taking it- I am very good at taking it at exactly the same time everyday. My periods are 2-3 days and very light. This month, I didn't even have a period, this is normal with Lolo. I've taken the 10lb off, haven't had an breakouts or mood swings either. Lolo was recommended by my Dr as my periods were heavy, long and painful. Not anymore. Highly recommended to anyone else with those issues."


"I took a full week of Amoxil for bronchitis, with not much relief.  I am now taking another antibiotic."


"I've been taking this medication for two days and I'm already feeling a little happier and calmer the only thing I have an issue with is, I take this in the morning and in the evening when I take it I feel very weak and tired for thirty minutes to an hour after. I have pretty much passed out for like an hour after I've taken it. When I wake up though I feel pretty good so I'll take the nap. Its worth it lol. Very satisfied with this drug so far."


"I had my IUD inserted after I gave birth to my daughter in January 2016 and when I had the Mirena inserted I was on my cycle.  My cycle ended like normal and then I came on my normal cycle again in February and this time it has not gone away.  Everyday I where a pad because it has been light but not light enough to wear a panty liner.  I am concerned because I don't think it is normal to have a cycle going on for 18 days and counting.  I am not so sure if it is worth me having this type of birth control because the side effects are just not worth it in my opinion.  I have had issues in the past with anemia due to my cycles and I do not want to have that issue again."


"Chantix really works! I am 24 years old and have been smoking since i was 14, so 10 years. I tried gum, patch and cold turkey, nothing worked. Went to my doctor because i knew i needed Chantix. First week was ok, had a couple of weird & vivid dreams but nothing i couldn't handle. After the 5th day or so i was down to like a couple cigarettes a day (i used to smoke almost a pack a day). I am now on my 2nd week and am officially not smoking at all. I am having some side effect though. I have bad headaches all through out the day, my stomach is upset and i got constipated. Its kinda like the feeling of being hungover. But it is all worth it in the end i believe. I would rather have a could headaches than continue to be a smoker."


"Did not seem to work

Felt tired the next day"


"This medicine has done wonders for me. I have had two injections of Feraheme with no side effects. It gave me back a quality of life."


"I've had migraines for about 6 years.  I take Fioricet for pain management, which works well, but I wanted to try preventing migraines altogether instead of treating them with painkillers, so my doctor prescribed Gabapentin.  After about 2 or 3 days, I started to notice side-effects of blurred vision, so much that I couldn't read text in my web browser.  It wasn't drowsy or light-headed, but more as if my eyes simply couldn't focus at the correct depth.  I also noticed I was extremely clumsier, banging my knees, elbows, and shins on everything until I was covered in bruises.  After a month of taking it, I saw no change in the frequency nor intensity of my migraines (I keep a pain log to make sure), so I stopped"


"I was prescribed Macrobid for a bladder infection on a Friday. I took the first dose that evening after dinner. I woke up Saturday morning feeling fine, took another dose, and it went downhill from there. We went out for breakfast, and the fun began, nausea, chills, etc. I had to go home and get in bed for the remainder of the day. I had a fever of 101.3. I had a terrible headache, joint pain etc. On Sunday, I was so freaked, my husband took me to an urgent care clinic. I was told that it wasn't the Macrobid, but that my bladder infection had become systemic. Baloney. I would wake up and feel fine, take the medication with milk, and whammo! Down for the count. I am now on day 5, and finally went to work today. Totally felt hungover."


"Ditto all the positives written by other reviewers.

I don't understand why it was nearly impossible to get the clinic to prescribe....  I was so miserable on synthroid which I struggled with for 8 mo...with worries of health issues growing.  I quit. And for the next six years at every doctor appt. I flat out refused synthroid.  I think one of the 20 plus fillers was the issue.   Doing my own research I begin requesting Nature Thyroid.  Was told the clinic  only prescribed synthroid. 16 months ago I won!  And have been happy since on NT.  UNBELIEVABLE then when I moved and my new doc in different state suggested I change.  No way.  I'm very happy with Nature Thyroid and think  the medical profession is 75 years behind the times."
