"I've been on this medication since 3/28/13. In June, my A1C was down to 6.4. My next appointment is the end of September. 6-8 weeks into using Bydureon I started experiencing nausea approximately 24-48hrs after injection which lasted for 24-72hrs.  In June, my Dr suggested I stop the Bydureon because he didn't like that I was feeling sick for half of my week. I had 1 month of med left, so I agreed to stick with it one more month, Nausea went away, but I still had no appetite. Now I'm experiencing stomach pain with movement 24hrs after injection. I see the Dr. end of September."


"I'm 22 years old and trilosprintec is the first BC which I have consistently taken, for the past 5 months. At first, my periods were totally abnormal and lasted a long time. I even had my period twice in one month. The acne is mild to low, but has only gotten worse since I've gotten older, anyways. Most of the time when i get my period, the discharge smells horrible! Unlike any period blood ive had. Sorry if thats TMI. My sex drive is pretty much non existent.

I asked my dermatologist for a low androgen BC because I have issues with hair loss and read online that it's not good to take high androgen BC when dealing with it.  Hair loss has not changed.

Physician is switching me to Gildess 1/20 & I'm scared. Wish me luck!"


"Best anti-anxiety medicine."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I'm about to finish my first pack and I have mixed reviews. During the first 2 weeks I was craving sugar like crazy.  About the third week that calmed down though.  I started taking Safyral because I was having break through bleeding with LoEstrin and already Safryal has regulated my period to just the week of my placebo pills.  My period started late, but that's not a big deal considering this is my first month on this birth control.  The most annoying side effect is the bloating.  I don't think I've ever felt this bloated ever and I NEVER get cramps on my period, but I'm having cramps with this pill.  I'm sure these symptoms will calm down as my body gets used to it, if not, I'm switching to something different."


"I have been on latuda for two years.  I increased the first time and slept like a baby (I had terrible insomnia and nightmares on 20 mg).  I just increased my dose to 60 mg and now I'm back to waking up every single night at 3:00 am and feel wide awake.  I also have very vivid dreams on this med.  However, it controls my symptoms so well that I won't stop taking it.  It is the only medication in its class that works for me.  I miss sleeping well, but the benefits outweigh the risks for me.  Just in case anyone is wondering, when it's combined with gabapentin at night, I have no trouble sleeping, so I'll definitely add that back into the mix."


"Love this product! I started taking it a few years ago to clear up my skin, and it exceeded all expectations. Not only is my skin totally clear, I no longer have heavy periods and I have never experienced any negative side effects. Sometimes when I do get my periods they come at irregular times, but they are always very light. I'd recommend this product!"


"I started to experience feeling dizzy a lot, lightheaded, really bad headaches and also nausea. I can't eat as much as I would like too or used too because most of the time I feel sick. And sometimes I don't like to go out because I feel too dizzy or have a crazy headache. I'll take ibuprofen or Tylenol and I get nauseous! I've had crazy mood swings that I've never seen myself have before. My depression has increased so much that I'm starting to think that my  kids would be fine without me.. it literally has taken over my life. Honestly not sure if it's the nexplanon doing all this but I haven't felt like this until I got my implant. I'm hoping if I take it out it'll all go away!!! Totally life changing"


"2 days taking 2-650mg tablets 3x/day and NO changes!  Still extremely heavy bleeding and clots :("


"I have to go into the hospital every two months because I start throwing up and go into a coma state if I do not get IV in me .They gave me Zofran the last time and I was up and good as new in 5 minutes. I will keep this on hand at home for future episodes !"


"Very good"


"Insert date: 3/28/2015 - current ... Sex drive down, depression & stress at an all time high, acne has magically appeared, pores are enlarged, I have black blotches on my face, it's hard to focus, my period used to last 3 days now it last 3-6 weeks, if I'm not on my period then I'm spotting, pain with intercourse, I've never had cramps before but I get extreme ones now whether I'm on or off my cycle, hair is falling out, and I am LOSING weight (I'm already teeny weeny) I tried to wait a year, but I want this removed immediately. There's so much more going on with my body that I feel like I'm missing something in this review."


"I was prescribed this by my doctor as a result of being bi-polar and being up for days on end. Ambien is definitely a tremendous sleep inducer. After a few minutes you wouldn't know if you were dead or alive. I was probably on 5 mg for about a year. When I was on a bi-polar "high" I could three pills and only sleep a couple of hours. I often felt groggy or drugged the next day using this product. I quit taking this product as a result of weird and unexplained behavior.  One time I woke up with no clothes on and couldn't find them. I never slept naked bcuz I was single and had a 17 year old. Scary stuff. u don't know what ur doing on this stuff."


"I was put on Levora about 5 months ago, due to PAINFUL and STRONG periods. Since I have started to use Levora, I have found that my periods have decreased some in regards to flow (YAH!), and has GREATLY helped me with my cramps! Before taking Levora, I would have to take a pain pill about 2 times a day for the 1st 2-3 days (needless to say, not good for your health). Overall Levora has helped me a lot. As for any issues, I haven't faced any at this point (acne is about the same, no increased weight or appetite, etc.)."


"Only upside was that I did not get pregnant. This medication made me moody, depressed and I broke out in painful cystic acne which I had never experienced before.  I also experienced bloating and dramatic PMS which had never happened before either. "


"After 24 years as an insulin dependant diabetic my specialist put me on Invokana and it has CHANGED MY LIFE! My insulin intake (Humalog and Lantis) is less than 50%, My A1C is much better and in 7 months I have lost 30 pounds. My sugar cravings are completely gone, I feel fantastic and I just love this medication! It does not make you feel strange at all and it really WORKS! I have recommended this medication to other friends and they also love it!  I am actually shocked to see others commenting negatively on this."


"I was only able to make it 5 days.  I had nervousness from the time I woke up.  Sweaty palms, nausea, anxiety, vivid unpleasant dreams.  At times I would sleep for 12 hours and others maybe 3 hours.  I couldn't take it anymore.  I can't imagine dealing with those side effects for weeks.  I stopped and feel so much better.  It has taken about two days to feel better.  Good luck to everybody but that felt like pure poison to me."


"I was only on the patch for a month. I thought it would be a miracle because I began to struggle to remember to take a daily pill. I came to this website, read reviews, decided I'd still try it. Wish I hadnt.

I had insane mood swings and did not feel like myself at all. I was extremely emotional, unreasonable. I felt angry and depressed all of the time. I'd been on the pill for 8 years with no problem, except remember to take it due to a schedule change. The patch was a different story.

I completed my 3 weeks of patch, 1 week for bleeding and promptly got back on the pill. My concern now is, I'm almost a week later starting and I'm normally like clock work. I've never been late in my life. Apparently this is common after the patch."


"I found no relief from using this product for osteo arthritis"


"I am 12 weeks pregnant and have not been able to for for over a week. Needless to say the bloating and cramping was insanity and my stomach felt rock hard. I took 2 tbsp of MoM the first time and it didnt do anything. So the next day before I went to bed I took  3 and I woke up and finally had relief! It did come in the form of basically just straight water... Which was unpleasant. But I don't hurt anymore!"


"I've been on Victoza for just over a week, started on 0.6 and today moved onto increased dose of 1.2. I am also on 4 x 500mg of metformin a day.

I have had some stomach ache/sickness/fatigue with the Victoza but I'm sure it will get better. I've lost just under 7lb in this first week which is astonishing and I'm very excited to continue to see weight loss. I definitely have seen a big reduction in appetite, I don't want food as often and I don't eat as much so it's a win-win for me.   I have not yet built exercise into my routine yet, just because the fatigue is making it difficult for me even to do household chores at the moment but hope I can soon get back in the gym and aid any weight loss Victoza gives me."


"Never never never again! Tried to save time and money, but not at this expense!! It was hard to find at the store and I didn't have the nerve to ask  guy that was working. Then after managing to wait until bedtime to insert the "medication" to get relief has been a joke on me!!! Horrible burning and I feel like I've been duped....can these drug manufactures really get away with this? I may not even be able to go to work tomorrow and I'm considering going to the local emergency room!"


"I am a male, and my girlfriend was using Nuvaring for a few months. It definitely does what it says as far as birth control goes, however, it hurt my penis. "


"It is a miracle drug! After about 2 months my stools were becoming well formed but not back to the usual stool! I only go once a day and it really is amazing! Although the risks seem huge I just look at it as though without imuran I could be a lot worse!"


"Today is day 18, I am not losing as rapidly as I was in the first week with a loss of 11 pounds total putting me at 196. I started at 207 I am now weighing in at 192.2. All the side effects are completely gone, I still have to make myself eat. I also go to the gym 3 to 5 times a week. Today I weighed in and went up 2 pounds not sure why I haven't "cheated" my diet. I find that the smart ones brand has desserts to help those with a sweet tooth and you are not totally killing your success. I hope to have better results coming in the near future."


"Severe lower back pain. Took my first dose last night. The caffiene in it, kept me awake all night. Took another dose this morning. The caffiene makes my heart feel like it's beating out of my chest..the codiene in this medicine did help my back pain..I eat before I take it, because it does upset my stomach.. I will be talking to my doctor about switching to something else. I'd just rather have plain old hydrocodone ....no caffiene ....."


"I had been an alcoholic for over 12 years. I tried AA, counseling, therapy, quitting by myself. Thank God, my doctor decided to try me with Campral after going to the hospital several times and detox.  Since Campral, I have not had a drop of alcohol for almost a year.  May 24, 2009 will be my anniversary. I haven't had a craving, and haven't had an interest to have a drink. My question is why don't we hear about this wonderful drug. I had almost given up until I started taking Campral."


"In the past week, suddenly I started having frequent urination and painful urges to urinate.  It became so bad that I was going every couple minutes.  I ended up in the ER.  My urine culture came back fine, by blood tests came back fine, my X-Ray and CT scans were both negative.  They assumed I had just passed a kidney stone and sent me home.  The frequency and urge persisted and I wasn't getting sleep and stopped going to work.  FINALLY, the doctor prescribed me Flomax.  I have an appointment to get a bladder ultrasound tomorrow and to see a urologist in two weeks.
They think there is a possibility I may have Intersistial Cystitis.

I just took my first dose of Flomax and have no idea what to expect.  Suggestions?"


"I've been taking Contrave & part of the scaledpwn program for about 4 months. I'm 5'6" & my starting weight was 190. I'm currently at 173-175. My weight loss was gradual but noticeable by others. I feel pretty good most of the time but I have struggled with pretty severe headaches in the afternoon/evenings so I think I will taper back down to one pill in the am & pm. I was taking two in the am, two in the pm. My husband thinks taking this is ridiculous & wants me to stop. He says I look great & taking the medicine makes me moody. I'm not sure about that but I'm struggling with weather to continue trying to loose more or stop. For now I think I will taper down & see what happens. I wish my insurance covered the cost because it's $60 per bottle."


"I was on Yaz and it was the BEST! I had no acne, very light and short periods, no weight gain, and no mood swings. The only bad thing with Yaz was my hair began to thin and it was very dry. I never had sex on Yaz so I don't know how effective it was at that. On Apri, I now have mild acne especially on my period and I have horrible periods at that. Very heavy with lots of cramping. My appetite increased so much to the point I have gained 8 pounds. After a year of dealing with Apri I switched to Beyaz since it has folate, which is good for hair and a baby if I ever do get pregnant! "


"I have had an infection of the toenails for probably 15 years and I'm only 25. I always wanted to wear sandals but my toenails was half missing due to me cutting them down because they use to itch soooo bad. I went to the doctor for my leg which I pulled the muscle connected to my foot and I had socks on but he pulled them off, I was so ashamed. He gave me the prescription for terbinafine and the first week or so,my inner arm was itching for like a week. Then when I got my dose for the 2nd month my skin on the top of my feet start peeling but on the upside of that my feet are very soft now :)......I haven't finish all my medicine yet but my results so far is amazing I can't wait till I'm wearing sandals."


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"I was prescribed pylera after a triple therapy failed, i'm now on my last day of it.

The gastritis pain, is slowly going away but still there ( you will have to wait the next 4 weeks for it to heal ).

The first 5 days i didn't feel anything different, then day 5 i had terrible headache, anxiety and nausea.

day 6 and onward my body adapted and it became less powerful but still pretty crappy, I'm not gonna lie to you, you basically feel hangover for the last 4 days.

Drink a lot, force yourself to eat and go out (computer will make headache horrible ).

Stay strong brothers, its a pain but this has 90% success rate."


"I'm 6 months pregnant and this is the first time I got an yeast infection. My STUPID doctor didn't give me any instructions I just used vagisil for the itching for a week. Finally she told me to use a anti-fungal cream so I tried Monistat.
After you insert it, the suffering is MONUMENTAL. OMG.
I put it in right before bed and lied on my back with my knees up for about 15 minutes. I swear it felt like my insides were on fire. On top of that the entire area feels SO ITCHY. It's SO intense. I've never felt anything that uncomfortable.
I'm giving it 8/10 because the next day the entire infection had really reduced and it kept getting better really quick. But every night I used it, the intense burning, itching crappy feeling lasted a good 15 min"


"Was on this pill for two months and had a horrible experience. Please do not take this pill! It causes a lot of weight gain, acne, depression, bleeding, great tenderness, and mood swings."


"Pros:

-no more acne, just the occasional zit

-no weight gain (12 stone when got it, now 10st 5lb)

-7 months of unprotected sex and not pregnant

-sometimes forget it's there

Cons:

-Constant painful and heavy periods only controlled by more hormones in the form of the combined pill, which caused more problems

-Tender breasts

-Cysts in breasts (developed after 5 months)

-Stomach pain

-Migraines

-Often get pain at insertion site even after 7 months

-Depressed mood, unpredictable mood swings and bouts of rage and crying spells

-No energy

-Thinner hair

-Insomnia

Verdict: fed up and having it removed either by a professional or by myself"


"I've been using Tri Sprintec for almost a year. I'm not sexually active, but was prescribed it for month-long PMS, spotting and irregular periods. By irregular I mean 27 days one month, 30 days the next month, 25 the next, and so on. I have 28 days all the time now, occasionally 27. PMS is much better, skin cleared, and I'm much more emotionally stable! I do notice PMS in the last week, but that's to be expected as there's no hormones that week. The other thing I have noticed is that it does dry out my skin, eyes, scalp and vaginal  area. I believe that's due to the same stuff that keeps your skin clear. I did notice a bit of nausea in the beginning, but that should go away. It helps to take it at night. All in all, great pill!"


"Works great and you are not supposed to use it with Suboxone."


"Southern big boy 5'9 247 and felt like a slug. I used to be a weight lifter but at 48 years old those days are gone. I had gone to my opthamologist and he sent me back to my regular doc. The doc told me I was in the diabetic range and needed to to go on metformin. He had some patients take Belviq for weight loss and suggested we try that first to see if losing the weight might help my sugar as well as other issues. One year later we my wife and I are happy to report 45 pounds gone as well as my bad blood sugar. The story is not all perfect as there were times when I thought my weight loss had stopped but my doc said your body resets and you should continue to lose weight. I am finally able to walk without knee pain and feel like my story ea"


Amlodipine / hydrochlorothiazide / olmesartan

"Took my first Tribenzor yesterday.....had a really rough night, vomiting...will never take it again"


"I was prescribed Celexa for anxiety. I had previously tried Prozac, which made things even worse. Celexa (10mg) was great. I felt better, just a bit more evened out, and less anxious. It's definitely not a xanax but it helped me to feel more like myself. However, it also made me gain about 15 pounds in only 3 months. During this time I was exercising, eating healthfully, and still gaining. I eventually weaned myself off it. Weaning myself off was *terrible*. Nausea, inability to concentrate, etc."


"I had the nexaplanon inserted two days after I had my baby. I had him in March of this year 2015 it is now August 2015 I bleed for 8 weeks then it stopped. I now have a period every other month which only last about 3 or 4 days. I am a women who has large breasts and I have lost a tremendous amount of weight and my bra size has shrunk!!!  Side effect is that sometimes I get very tired. This birth control is the best  one that I've been on yet.  I tried pills it took my hair out, I've tried the shot and I  gained 25 pounds.  This is the one for me - so I will be getting it again"


"I never ever had an issue with acne in my life until I started working after college (I correlate it with the crazy stress at work).  So, I started using 0.25% Retin A about a year ago.  A couple months in, I wasn't seeing the results I wanted; still breaking out, skin flaking.  I emailed my doctor and asked for the 0.5% strength... big mistake. I used that for about three months and my skin could not tolerate it AT ALL.  Regardless, I wasn't about to give up totally on Retin A! So I went back to using the 0.25% and FINALLY got the results I've expected all along.  I always get comments now on how clear and "fresh" my skin looks. Retin A (especially with a clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide cream) was a miracle for my skin. No pimples.. ever!"


"I had my Nexplanon placed in my left arm on November 1, 2012. I was not sexually active until I was married, but I have been a testing bunny for several birth controls since the age of 14 due to extremely painful and long-lasting menstrual cycles for which I have been hospitalized several times. My body rejected all of them. When I was married and became sexually active, my husband and I both worried about getting pregnant too soon and this option was not estrogen-based and long-lasting. I bled sporadically for 3 months and then have had random spotting for short periods every 3 months or so. I have had few side effects, I don't have dangerous periods anymore, and I have a lot fewer migraines. I will replace mine at the end of year 3."


"Didn't work, was changed from amitryptaline to propanolol and my migraines came back with a vengeance."


"I was drunk or hungover for over 30 years, and had every bad experience, including putting my pistol in my mouth a couple times. The intense physical craving, cramps, shaking, anxiety left me in the freshness of the brave new world. After 30 years of feeling completely sick, it's hard to say if this medicine has any side effects at all. It's been a life saver for me."


"I have suffered depression off and on for over 20 years. I take Cymbalta for chronic pain and still have fallen in a deep depression. My doctor added Pristiq and after day 1 I'm feeling much better!"


"i have been on angelic 1/2 now for 14 months...within 3 weeks of using this medication...I literally got my life back....I had all the symptoms...hot flushes all night long and around ten throughout the day....no sleep...you know all the crappy symptoms...had. A hysterectomy  6 years ago was only  44 yrs old...then my life changed for the worst...I put up with all the horrible symptoms ...thinking well this is life now....out of desperation went to my doctors and told him I wanted my life back and  he said to try these should &

They should give me me my life back  ...and he was right ....I feel normal for the first time in 5 years....and I even lost 5 kilos ....so definitely no weight gain for me on these pills....I know they work for me"


"Two weeks since I started abilify 5mg, I can now get out of bed and enjoy my life. I am up at 4am, but so is my dad and 4 dogs which makes me go to bed early. But throughout the day. I am a totally new and fun person. I hope it lasts."


"bone pain . Sometimes the bone even cannot touch as it will cause unbearable pain. Stop taking it after 5 years and waiting for the pain goes away."


"I am a paraplegic due to a gunshot to my spine incurred in VietNam. I had taken Macrodantin for over forty years and it helped to greatly curb my infections due to the need for intermittent catheritization three times daily. It caused side effects as I got older. I hadn't realized that this medicine was causing me to be continuously dizzy and generally unwell. I have since stopped taking it."


"my daughter was put on Macrodantin to prevent kidney infections, and after 2 months was struggling to breath while playing football, tests showed that her pulmonary function had reduced by 25% and she had developed an irregular heart beat. I would think carefully before taking this drug as you may be damaging your lungs to save your kidneys"


"Started having really bad anxiety & panic attacks which I ended up in the ER for. I was given xanax which helped out tremendously and I was fine for a long time. Then I had another really bad panic attack and ended up back in the ER. I was then prescribed hydroxyzine 25mg to take four times a day as needed which I ended up needing to take the following day because I had another panic attack IT DID NOTHING. The next day I had one at work at took another, since I was told to try it four times a day I figure maybe I would take one every 6 hours to see if maybe it can prevent a panic attack from even starting but NOPE! This medicine does nothing for me and with my anxiety and panic attacks it feels like I'm having mini heart attacks. I rather take the xanax"


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


"I was originally prescribed this for seasonal affective disorder.  I took this for about two years.  I then went off. I have notice that seasonal issues slowly begin to reappear.  I also noticed that my self diagnosed ADD issues were really beginning to get the best of me, especially the thoughts running wild when I should be sleeping.  I noticed an immediate change but going back onto Bupropion XL 150 mg.  This has helped to keep me focused and has given me a regular sleep ability again even though I am a 2nd shifter.  I am glad to have my life back."


"I have been using Lyrica for 1 year or so for FMS. It has taken care of the larger muscle pains but does NOTHING for the life-sucking body ache that I have suffered with since 1978. Nor does it stop my back pain. I take hydrocodone to deal with the body ache/back pain. I have good days and bad days still, but when the day is good, very little muscle pain. Downside: I have gained a great deal of weight. Also there seems to be a great deal of fluid retention with Lyrica, a diuretic helps. "


"I started on phentermine 37.5 on December 20,2015 and I weight in at 178.2 and as of today  February 13,2016 I weight 164.2. A dry mouth is the only side effect that I have and that's with no exercising and eating  a bowl of cereal in the morning and nothing else that day just drinking water I don't have any appetite because I'm full of water I love this pill."


"I began taking Mononesse April 28th 2015. I was admitted to the hospital on June 10th with an arterial blood clot and hundreds of small clots in my right foot. It had cut off ALL blood flow to my foot. The doctors tried everything to get rid of the clots. They got the one in my artery to break up but couldn't get the ones in my foot as some were as small as a hair follicle. June 23rd I was in surgery having a below the knee amputation. I am 33 years old and been an athlete my whole life. So physically I have always been strong, so I expected no problems there. Whew, it is definitely a lot harder than what I expected. It has affected my entire life, as I have had to learn to do everything differently. No person should ever have to go thru it"


"I've had the IUD for about 5 months. For the first month I bled constantly with heavy clots, terrible cramps, and tender breasts. Things started to improve around the second month with only light bleeding and now I have random spotting or a period that lasts a few days. I initially had acne but read about black african soap which (in conjunction with tea tree oil after showering) has eliminated it. I have PCOS and already had hair growth on my chin. It's a lot worse with the IUD in place and I'm going to electrolysis to eliminate it. That is my biggest complaint. No weight gain (but I did experience bloating). And I've ALWAYS gained on BC w/estrogen. Once my husband felt it but my doc snipped the strings and it's not been a problem since."


"20 yr old, been on Ocella for over a year.  Just today switched to Apri, Ocella made me gain weight and go up a bra size.  I went from a heavy long period with no pain to an extremely painful short period - not worth it.  This pill also made me moody and depressed."


"Started Saxenda on Feb 1, 2016.  Minimal side effects, no issues with constipation.  Only able to tolerate small portions and must eat every 3-4 hours during the day, if I don't eat I get nauseous. Worst time for me use to be around dinner time when I could not stop snacking, now those cravings are gone YAH!  10 lbs lost in 4 weeks, just what I wanted slow and steady.  Insurance does cover, so will be continuing until goal weight of 150."


"My daughter was diagnosed with a mental illness around 12 years ago. We try almost every single medication out on the market. Nothing work.  I had lost hope. Then our MD talked to me about  "invega". It was God sent. the best medication ever. My daughter is able to have a life again. she goes out without being paranoid.  It is worth every penny. some side effect but she is able to think clearly. If you are thinking about it.  give it a try."


"This medications helped with my arthritis a little but did nothing for anxiety"


"I started taking Cymbalta for my fibromyalgia and after a while it was like I never had a problem. I also found that my mood swings were less and less. No more suicidal thoughts and I can actually sleep now. It's a great medicine for both problems."


"I'm 20 years old this is my first experience using birth control. I was prescribed Sprintec to help lighten my HEAVY periods and relieve me of the excruciating pain from cramps that came with it. I'm at the end of my first month and it's worked miracles for me! My period is normal to light and my cramps are finally bearable. I did notice a change in my appetite, which caused me to lose some weight. I'm not as hungry anymore so I have to make myself eat. Within the second day of taking Sprintec my breast became super tender and that lasted about 3 weeks. They've also gotten bigger, which I can't complain about! Overall I love Sprintec, its cheap and works wonders for me."


"Tysabri has been a life send for me. I have been on it since 2009 and its now 2015. Was dignosed in 2004. We can count back now to where my symptoms were started when I was in 1st grade, so it has taken me a long time to get it under control, been thru lots if not all of the medications nothing worked but tysabri. My lesions on my brain are beginning to shrink."


"Not sexually active, so I can't tell how it helps in pregnancy prevention. It did stop spotting in between periods, but it destroyed my skin. Particularly along my jawline (jawline acne is typically hormonal), my skin broke out the entire duration of using Trinessa. It was the hard, painful acne that left behind dark marks when they had run their course. I stayed on the pill for three months to make sure it was a the pill causing the acne, and it was. During the placebo pill week when you get your period, my skin would clear up. Until I had to start the pill again, that is. Beyond that, my emotions were so out of whack on this pill that I was constantly on the verge of tears when I am a silly, easygoing girl who is extremely positive."


"I've been taking Alesse for 6 years. It's the only birth control I have ever used. And I love it. I've never had problems with it before. My periods are predictable, very light and regular. I don't experience mood swings, or any major cramping on the pill either. It controlled my acne as well. I would suggest Alesse to every girl."


"The injection hurt, was a very big sting and burning sensation, I was hoping for relief sooner and longer but it did neither. I got the shot about 4 pm, was able to move my arm without pain about 5 pm and was back to hurting before 6 pm."


"I have been dealing with a lot of stress, and ended up in the hospital with a panic attack. I have anxiety and panic disorder, and I have been taking Ativan for nearly three months. I only take it when I am at the point I can no longer breathe, and I am shaking. It is quick and effective, it causes me to calm down enough that I can breath, I stop shaking, and I am able to concentrate. I love it, and am pleased with the effects of it. The down side, is I tend to feel a bit loopy for like an hour after taking it, but then I'm fine again, also eating helps this time period. Unfortunately I have to switch to Xanax because my new doctor likes them more. I'm hoping for the same effect, but I would completely recommend it."


"I had surgery (third laparoscopic procedure for endometriosis) the Skyla was inserted while I was under anesthesia.  So I did not feel the actual insertion. I had Mirena at my OBGYN's office without taking anything prior and it was fairly uncomfortable.  That said I have no history of pregnancy and a very high threshold for pain. Skyla has been in for roughly three and a half months. My first two periods were fairly normal. And the third was noticeably lighter.  Hopefully they'll vanish! (Mine did w the Mirena). Now the bad stuff--Cystic Acne. First month was HELLISH. Super painful cystic acne in my chin and some along my jawline and forehead.  So bad they required cortisone injections by my derm. I'm now on spironalactone: improved."


"I've been diagnosed with ADHD for many years my child hood was filled with lots of trouble. I've had more failing grades than I can count more referrals then most kids been kicked out of an amazing school and lost a full ride scholarship.  I'm not blaming all these problems on being ADHD but not having self control for my actions is a big factor my doctor finally prescribed me to Adderall and the difference is cazy. I have been able to stay focused on school and all my classes for the first time in 6 years I am getting honor roll I have an interest in being in school. I'd recommend any one to give Adderall a  try. It truly has made my life a lot easier by being able to stay focused."


"I began using Cialis a week ago. The third day, I got a strong erection, my first really hard one in more than nine years since open heart surgery. I took another Cialis on the third day and then nothing happened. Seemed to quit working for me. Then yesterday, day 6, I took another and suddenly it's like I'm 16. Get hard if the wind blows. My wife and I are very happy and feel like our life is suddenly changed for the better. Cialis rocks!"


"This medication addressed inappropriate crying and laughing that has plagued me since a right frontal lobe aneurysm rupture 10 years ago. Took a few weeks to adjust to the side effects but well worth the effort!"


"I decided to post a review to hopefully help anyone out there who's looking for info. Me:I'm 39, no kids, no other medications, alcohol only a few times per year. My results: The first two months I had irregular spotting and two periods a month lasting 4 to 5 days each (the periods were 2 weeks apart so 4 in 2 months). After that, the next 6 months I have been very consistent, one period per month starting on the same day each month and only lasting about 5 days and no spotting in between. Break-outs have been more common in these 6 months just before my period starts, frustrating but controllable with sleep, a multi-vitamin and an acne cream to help. I have not gained weight, but struggle losing it. No harsh or scary side-effects so far."


"Got itchy skin, constant headache, diarrhea, reflux.  Not great took for 2 weeks had a TIA after 1st week"


"Accutane is the best drug out there. Extreme acne runs in my family and I had to complete two series of Accutane to get rid of it. While I was on the medicine I had the best skin of my entire life. I would always receive complements on how amazing my skin looked. One kid I don't even know told me one day my skin looks like paper due to it's smoothness. I fully back this product. It's the best thing you'll find on the market."


"Always tired and felt lazy. Also gained 20lbs."


"I have been on Cymbalta for my Fibromyalgia since Nov.2014.

I had loved this med,helped some what with my pain and also helped my moods. (I called it my happy pill..lol)

I have been experiencing many months of restless sleep and extreme sweating! I never considered it was my wonder drug.

But it is,it has to be..Cymbalta is the only drug I take and the only change for me in a year. Also I have gained an excessive amount of weight ! I can not handle this extreme sweating,also very fatigued.

I am starting today to ween off of it..my doc started me on Lyrcia.

I sure hope this helps!

So tired of being tired and in pain.."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"I am a 28 year old female. I have had digestive issues for about 4 years. But recently(past 2 months) it got really bad. It started with feeling sick every night after dinner. If I ate any food past 6:30 I'd be sick all night. Intense nausea but took measures to not vomit. The week before I saw my Dr. I could barely eat anything at anytime in the day without feeling horrible stomach pain and nausea. No appetite at all and on and off constipation and diarrhea. I lost a pound a month for 5 months. Got depressed about slowly involuntarily starving. Asked my Dr. to test for H.Pylori because multiple people in my extended family have had it. I came out positive. I was prescribed the triple therapy of Lanzoprozle , Amoxicillin and Clarithromycin."


"Viagra is the best medication I've ever had in my life. I was having problems with erection so I went to my doctor who gave me a 25mg to try. I went two hours and half non-stop. I didn't tell her the secret so she kept asking "but why is it extremely strong today sweetheart?" This has improved my sex life and my confidence. "


"GREAT PILL! Last year, after being on a brand of birth control pill for 20 years with light, predictable and short periods, I began to have breakthrough bleeding, horrible cramping and bleeding. Lo Loestrin was the third pill my GYN put me on and after a week or so of spotting, light cramping, I haven't had a period since mid-December. So far so good on this prescription, I'm happy to have tried it."


"I heard voices and experienced wild delusions for over ten years before I found Abilify.  At first I took 10mg of Haldol to quiet the voices but that stopped working after 6 months.  And the side effects of Haldol were high.  My experience with Abilify I think are better than average, in that I'm symptom free, with no side effects. 30mg a day for three  years."


"I had pain from shingles. Gabapentin was giving me minimal relief, I tried diclofence suggested by a friend, it gave me relief in minutes. I use the 10%, and thankful I found it worked for me."


"I'm 36, have social anxiety, GAD, TMJ, fibromyalgia, muscle spasms, cluster headaches, & herniated vertebrae.  I've taken everything, including 12 years on a high dose of Xanax. After finally convincing a doc to prescribe me Valium, I felt like a different person. It kicks in FAST, but Its long half-life prevents that awful anxiety rebound effect. I find that Valium has a powerful (yet feels gentle) calmative effect on the body as well- which is absolutely wonderful when my muscles & joints are tight. Valium is hands down the best benzo anti-anxiety medication out there."


"So my periods have been really irregular the last couple of years. My dr prescribed Nora-BE. I started my period two weeks after starting the pill and am still experiencing heavy bleeding after 9 days. I guess this is one of the possible side effects but I'm going to follow up with my gyno. Anyone else experience this?"


"The first few months were great! Light periods, minimal cramping. The past 3 months I have started my period 2-3 days early and it lasts about 2 weeks. That gives me about a week per month that I'm not on my period. I'm changing pills tomorrow, hopefully the next kind isn't as treacherous!"


"All depends on the individual I actually found that Keppra made my seizures WORSE. I started taking Keppra and was fine for 2 years with no side affects, no seizures, nothing, then 1 day I had a massive grand Mal seizure the doctors keep upping my dose. Now I am on the maximum dose but still having seizures. Before I took Keppra I had only a few fits in my life now I have them about once every couple of weeks."


Acetaminophen / chlorpheniramine / phenylephrine

"Having a nasty cold with runny nose, sneezing, headache and sore throat; I figured I'd give this a shot. Within 30 minutes of taking 1 pill I was feeling relieved of much of my cold symptoms, however, something just didn't feel right! I started getting extremely nervous, with very high anxiety level. I seriously was freaking out! My heart was pounding like crazy at fast pace and I was all over the place. I felt as though I couldn't calm down and it all seemed to come on suddenly. One minute I was fine and the next I was loosing my self.  The side effects seemed to tapper off after about  4 hours( it felt like forever) and by this time I should be in bed sleeping? I don't think that's gonna happen soon?"


"Saved my life. Saved my mariage. Had Psoriasis and P. arthritis since grade school. Covered me from head to toe 80% Started Humira at 41. Been on it now for over 3 years. The only side effects I notice is that my shoulder no longer has me crying in tears over the pain and my Psoriasis is gone. Totally gone. Strangely however, in the past year and half the areas I once had persisrant Psoriasis have now turned into freckled pacthes. Some if the freckles are fairly dark. But I'll take some freckles over the he'll I lI've with most my life and make the choice to start Humira all over again. Saved me for sure. Don't even know what I would do if I lost my Humira. Shots are no big deal."


"VERY good medication! I had uncontrolled Crohn's for many years (no medicine would work for me).  My gastroenterologist decided to try this one and it was a life saver.  I couldn't go out before (even for groceries!). It didn't take very long to get the full effects from it and though the cost is higher than with the other medicines, I am more than willing to pay it to get my life back.  I could only get relief from prednisone before this medicine came along, but had terrible side effects from it.  Highly recommended for anyone looking for some relief for Crohn's.  Good luck to all with this debilitating disease."


"Vile disgusting taste. I had to add a lemon powder and hold my nose to drink without vomiting. It took 20 min. to get it down. I hate to drink water and had a tough time drinking the required 32 oz. of water in 1 hour after the Suprep. It did take effect in 40 min. I was also very bloated. I do not know if I can manage to drink the second dose tonight. I will have to find a way. "


"Took this medication for 5 months. From the start I had problems tolerating the medicine. It made me nauseous. The worst side effect was the bone pain."


"Use with caution! I was stupid enough to take a whole pill and I thought I was going to die. My heart was racing even though I was laying perfectly still and the world was swimming like I was drunk. The effects have lessened over the course of a few hours but I will definitely not take more than 1/4 of one of theses pills in the future!"


"I just started the Gel, which I choose because it does not cause high blood pressure and I did not want to take any more pills. So far so good. If you follow the directions, and rub the gel in until your skin is dry, there is no sticky residue. I then just put regular cream over the sight. I'm currently having some stomach cramping but I'm not sure if it is because of the medicine.  "


"Hi I started Phentermine 37.5 mg in May, 2016 I weighed 221lbs at 5'3. Have tried diet food programs and the gym work for a minute but too expensive for me. New doctor I told him my issues he read my medical file and said I could try this medicine.  Since May I have lost 25 lbs which you can see thank god and I can breathe without being winded.  I use to be an eater just because I knew it was wrong but couldn't stop on my own. But with this pill you do stop on your own. I'm not hungry do have dry mouth always had problems not sleeping so mild sleep pill lots of water and normal walking too hot where I live. Will walk more as weather cools and continue to watch what I eat need to get at least 50 pounds more off we will see."


"I am in recovery from Vodka and I was having trouble sleeping and my doctor suggested that I skip the noon dosage and take 2 of them at night and it has helped me stay asleep at night without my mind "running" at night."


"I've been on Saxenda for a month. I've lost 10 pounds and feel amazing. Finally I have a weight loss medication without side effects."


"I've been taking Sporanox for 10 months now with no improvement.  The fungus is visible in all of my fingernails and all of my toes!  I am nearing the end of my second (6 month) treatment and still no results with this medication.  Fungus has caused several toenails to curl and become ingrown so, very painful.  Doctor won't remove the nails while infected with fungus because nails are too brittle to remove safely without risks of infection."


"I am a veteran.  I was diagnosed with depression while on active duty (started on Wellbutrin), though I am certain the depression went back years before.  I always knew something wasn't right, but could never quite figure out what it was.  I had no desire to live and could not seem to shake that.  I admitted myself to a mental health unit recently with suicidal tendencies.  I started taking Celexa while in the unit, and I feel like a person now.  I am not in a "good" place in the world right now, but in my own "world" I am feeling great."


"My reason for taking yaz was my bad cystic acne, which completely stopped in the 1St week!! Wow right..now just waiting for the skin to heal. However, my last week was kinda hell, constipated for more than 4 days and starting to get cramps, worse than before,my mental stability was a bit rough the 1st week. I'm giving it 3 months to see what happens, feeling hopeful as my body is adjusting!"


"Stelara has been great. I have experienced no side effects and I just got my second shot and my Psoriasis is 90% faded after 4 weeks since my first shot.

Basically if your insurance will cover it's realistically a miracle. Good luck reader. I hope you have a similar experience of success."


"I started Contrave 12 days ago, 218 lbs, 6 feet, male.
The Good:
I've already lost 10 lbs and no physical activity.
I'm addicted to food. I Loooove carbs!!! However, since I started Contrave, I don't have cravings anymore. I have this sensation of being full. Sometimes I even have to force myself to eat because I am diabetic and my doctor told me not to stop taking the medication.
The bad:
First day I felt light headed and nauseated, but nothing major.
I take Contrave in the middle of my breakfast. Any time I take it before, I feel more nauseated. I couldn't stand the second pill, so I went back to one. I'm dong the second pill today. We will see.
Constipation. I take Metamucil. That helps a lot!!!
I highly recommend it."


"St John's Wort has literally turned my life around.  I've had issues with depression in the past and always managed to work my way through them without help, but my last bout a few months ago got me to the point where it was starting to affect my work and people were really noticing. My personality had changed, I was temperamental, losing concentration on the job, sleeping badly, arguing with my husband, all I wanted to do was be alone... Then on a doctor's recommendation I started taking SJW. I noticed the difference within days, and 5 weeks down the track I feel like I have not felt in years!! I admit I wasn't expecting it to do anything... but I could not have been more wrong."


"Started Contrave 7  days ago - absolutely no side effects - though still titrating up to the higher dose. I'm 5'3" 220 lbs. Need to lose every bit of 100 lbs. Maybe notice some tummy issues today - but, they were symptoms of having eaten too much - need to change my eating patterns for sure. ~ Here's Hoping!"


"A few years ago I was hooked on Percocet, Vicodin, and Tramadol. (Side note: Doctors will tell you that Tramadol, "Ultram", is none addictive but that is what the original addiction I had). My doctor gave me an prescription for Suboxone. It was a God send. I would recommend it to anyone who is having a lot of trouble kicking the pill popping habit."


"I got Mirena five years ago after having my second child. Having Mirena is forgetting about birth control for as long as you have it. No pain, problems, discomfort. Maybe slight weight gain but it could also be because I'm getting older. I'm about to have it replaced with another one until my husband and I decide to have our last child. Like everything, the only way to know if it is for you is to try it. I think it's worth it."


"I'm going to be very much to the point I had a physician that retired I began seeing a new physician after searching for a physician I was comfortable with I was continued being prescribed oxycodone ER 2-30mg tab 3x a day with 4mg hydromorphone with each dose The Physician referred me to pain management pain management change meds two 100 mg oxycodone ER that is one 40 mg & one 60 mg.  & 80mg oxycodone 2x day & 8mg hydromorphone every 8 hrs with each dose. Then pain management switch me to oxymorphone 40mg every 12 hours & 8mg hydromorphone with each dose.   Why is this is not working why? Should I go back on 100mg sulfate morphine tablet ER and 8mg hydromorphone 3x a day. Oxymorphone is new to me all the other meds I've been on over 10 years"


"This has changed my life.  I was able to breathe better almost immediately and I love that is easy to use.  It did take a few tries to get accustomed to the inhaler but now I can't imagine going back to my old ones."


"First, I diagnosed myself after being exhausted, unable to lose ANY weight even when I breast fed my son for a year. My periods were heavy and debilitating and no amount of exercise or diet allowed me to lose weight.

Synthroid alone was clearly not enough, so after 14 years I switched endocrinologists.

She called me a "doctor shopper", the first appointment, and said being cold all the time and 2 hour naps a day were NOT related to my thyroid.

She reluctantly prescribed 5mcg of generic Cytomel BID.

After only  4 days, the naps are a thing of the past!

I cannot wait to see her face when she hears it worked!

WHY are these doctors locked into ONLY care about "the numbers"?"


"I've been taking Victoza for a year now. Initially, for about a month I experienced a few side effects - nausea being the most prevalent. Pleased I continued the drug as ALL side effects have gone.
The drug certainly has improved my glucose readings. I take my 1.8 injection first thing in the morning when my blood glucose hovers around 160ish. I don't eat for about two hours after the injection when my glucose numbers fall to the 120s.
Not a cure but an improvement."


"Suffering through the side effects in the first week (headaches, nausea, dizziness) but have lost 4 pounds already.  Hoping the side effects will taper off as this medication definitely controls my hunger and cravings."


"I had never taken an antidepressant before. I was recently diagnosed with gastritis and irritable bowel syndrome and have been dealing with many emotional issues for quite a long time before these health problems. The constant nausea from the condition only worsened my mood and outlook on life. I was on Prozac 10mg for exactly a month. After 2 weeks I noticed a HUGE difference in my overall mood and outlook on life, it was wonderful! After 3 1/2 weeks my entire body started to itch; palms of my hands, in between fingers, behind ears, feet, legs, arms, you name it, it itched! Finally talked to my doctor and decided to stop Prozac and start Paxil. I hate that I had to switch, and I'm not too excited about it. Hope this time is a charm."


"I was percribed Zyclara about 3 weeks ago instruced to put it on once daily for 8 weeks. Look, I'm not going to sugar coat it. This cream is meant to take action and get rid of your unwanted skin virus symptoms so yes, there will be tingles, maybe some burning and definitely some soreness but I would do it again in a heartbeat. A little goes a long way, and for me it takes a couple days to show results but the key is it does! I take "heal days" if needed and take care of myself with eating right and taking muilti vitamins. I went to weekly freezing prior which eventually worked but came back but so far with the cream no returns! One more stubburn one to go! Don't be scared to try it and don't give up. Your life is not over :)"


"This is great a couple of hours and the pain was gone."


"Literally a life-changing product...I've been using it for 3 days and I'm already 100% satisfied. I tried other products out there but continued to sweat (armpits) even in the wintertime, 5 minutes out the door and the sweat would go through my shirt, within about an hour the sweat would go through my entire SUIT. Was thinking about getting surgery or botox injections, but somehow stumbled upon a site where I saw Drysol reviews and became cautiously optimistic from the customer reviews that this was my solution. SO happy to finally get rid of this terrible condition."


"I started taking Lo Loestrin 1 year ago this March because j was getting married in June, plus my periods were horrible. I had a little bit of acne but that soon cleared up and my skin was flawless. I didn't have a period for about five months and then I started having breakthrough bleeding every two weeks lasting one week long so my doc changed me over to Junel. I didn't use to be so emotional, but now I cry for no reason. Also, my stomach feels bloated and I have a bad case of acne on my upper back :(    What do you guys think I should do: go back to lo loestrin or stay on Junel and just get something to clear up acne? HELP!!! :("


"I ALWAYS get cold sores every time I get sick, so this morning when I woke up (after being sick all night) I noticed a little bump. I was so upset, I got so tired of cold sores. Every time I get them, they are huge and awful looking. So, I went to the doctor for the first time about my cold sores, and was prescribed Valtrex and I was only given 4 pills, and it was instructed to take all 4 pills in one day, I was a bit disappointed in that, though. I took all 4, and went to bed. Usually by the next morning (without medication) the cold sore gets bigger, but this time it didnt! I still had a small bump, but it would have been worse without the medication. From someone who suffers from bad cold sores, I am SO happy with this medicine!"


"Didn't work for me. Felt pretty barfy and crummy first several days. Seemed to make me agitated. Only on it for a week; withdrawal was unpleasant. Just my experience, however."


"This is the best thing ever. I was suffering from no desire to go to work, I couldn't wake up, I was always late, I lost my motivation to accomplish things, I was anti-social and really just hating myself and life. I was also flustered, confused, feeling out of control and miserable. I started Wellbutrin and by the third day I could REALLY feel the difference. My mind starter to clear, I wasn't hazy, my motivation was back and I could wake up early. This has been an answer to prayers. The study of the brain and body with science is amazing. I'm very thankful."


"Before having my daughter I was on Desogen for 5 yrs, with an amazing experience. It took me two yrs to get pregnant after stopping. Requested the same after baby with little difference. Had to switch 3 months ago for insurance reasons and have been miserable since. I am way more moody (weepy/short fuse), I've gained 5-7 lbs.  Terrible bloating the week before my period as well as nausea/vomiting and bad cramps a few days before. Worst symptom: complete destruction of my sex drive.
Like... I could really care less. I also started a week early this time for some reason. I am switching back next month and paying the $32 dollars a month until my doctor decides he believes me when I say that one child is enough for me.
"


"I've been on citalopram for about 8 weeks. The first 4 weeks I was on 10mg and I could notice a difference in myself but felt I needed a stronger dose because my anxiety was still there. I've been taking 20mg which is much better. I feel calmer and don't get as anxious as I was. The reason for going on this medicine is because I started getting anxiety before leaving the house. I started getting obsessive about making sure plug sockets were switched off and the cooker was off. I struggled with social situations and I used to panic before leaving the house for work which would upset my stomach. I did suffer some side effects with this to begin with:
Very tired yawning a lot.
Low sex drive (failure to orgasm)
Loss of appetite."


"I have have Hashimotos. Tirosint has changed my life for the good!!!! I have taken it for four months and I have felt like a human being again. I was a like a zombie for 10 years on stupid Armour. Fortunately I received a bad batch of Armour that sent me to the ER twice last October which prompted my medication change to Tirosint. I want to let everyone know with Hashimotos that Tirosint is truly a God sent medication. I hope it works for you like it has for me. I had no idea how sick I was on stupid Armour. That's what I call it because Armour made me stupid. I couldn't think straight while taking it. Now with Tirosint I'm a force to be reckoned with!! I have a New job and have tons of energy! I have been reorganizing and cleaning my house"


"On rare occasions when it put me to sleep it gave me a steady stream of mini, vivid nightmares that had me awaken to a  depression.  Sometimes I'd have the steady, mini vivid dreams lucidly, always conscious and knowing what side I was lying on, and then drag through the next day exhausted.  But most of the time no sleep nor vivid dreams; nada.  But the worst thing about Belsomra is its constellation of side effects: stiff muscle tone with unexpected contractions and coordination problems, crazy-bad depression, irritability, confusion and memory problems.  Beware."


"I have really good experience with Nexpalnon.
After insertion my arm was sore about a week, after that I could go back to my gym and daily routine.
It doesn't bother me at all. No migraines, no gain weight, no skin problems.
My mood is the same maybe even better, I'm not that moody like before.
I was some irregular bleeding about a month but it was very little. After a month I don't have period (hallelujah) and no bleeding at all.
Only disadvantage I found is my libido. I noticed my sex drive changed quite significantly.
I really recommend it !"


"I was taking Atenolol and was having irregular heart beats also my heart rate were from low sixties to low forties when sleeping . Tried every thing and desperate to the point of having a Pacemaker. Thanks to a pharmacy that let me into some information about Amlodipine. MY heart rate is steady at 68-78, blood pressure 120/68. Yes, I do get the swelling in the ankles, was given Lasix 20 mg. Going on two years."


"The doctor put me on this medicine a few months ago and I have not had one headache since."


"This is much much better and get a much better calming feeling from even valium. My doctor had me on valium since I was 12-16- and I even took it into my 20s 5 mg 3 times per day I was never hooked on it and even took valium vacations so I wouldn't get hooked on it. But klonopin works so much better! it makes you feel happy and loved inside not the fake kind of loved either but really nice warm feelings of pure love and gentleness. My mom died 2 years ago and this is the only medicine that helps calm me down and come back to being happy again thank God for klonopin."


"Diagnose with Mets to lung and bones. Aggressive chemo worked for eight months and then I was moved to Femara and Ibrance. Had to pay for the drug out of pocket because I'm not insured and cost us a king's ransom. This money could and should have been better spent. Ibrance wiped out my immune system and spread my cancer. After two months I complained about breathlessness but my oncologist assumed that we should give it some more time to work because of the promotional reviews and propaganda by Pfizer. I hate how pharma industry is devouring our savings. They should not overrate their products and misguide oncologists. I don't know how they report results. I doubt that I will ever be counted among the failed cases. Very angry & disappointed."


"First time I had these last night and wow hard hitting I was told to take 1-2 15mg so I took 2 and it knocked me for 6 don't remember falling asleep just the fantastic feeling of waking up after 10 hours......this is the first uninterupted sleep in 20 years so good so far I'm also on valium for anti panic attacks and dothep for Depression lithium for bi-polar fingers crossed it keeps working like this!!!!"


"I took Yaz when I started developing cystic acne whenever my period was close. It completely cleared up my face after 1 one month. For 1 year, I was symptom free, but afterwards started developing severe lethargy a week before my period. It would be so bad that I would just be walking around in a haze. I fell asleep in class, couldn't concentrate and worst of all, I couldn't drive in fear I'd crash. However, after my period started, this would go away. My breasts went from an A cup to a B cup as well. I eventually stopped taking Yaz due to the hazy PMS symptoms. My skin stayed clear until this very day. This pill changed my acne for the better for life. Couldn't be happier with the choice."


"so far I have had some stomach cramping but at least the doctor in the hospital told me what to expect I'm getting better"


"Paxil was the first antidepressant I was put on when I was first diagnosed with depression roughly a year and a half ago. While it did stop the suicidal thoughts, the side effects were just not worth it for me. It made me tired ALL THE TIME. And not just kind of sleepy. It was more like I could get a full nights rest, wake up, and not half an hour later feel so exhausted that if I laid down on the ground I could take a nap right there. It also took away my ability to orgasm. I'm a 21 y/o (20 at the time) college girl who is a pretty sexually open person. So to say I was not down to never have another orgasm while on it would be a huge understatement. Did work, but not worth the side effects."


"I have suffered from depression for over 30 years now and have gone on and off of Prozak several times during the years.

What I have found is that when I'm taking it I will feel so good that I always eventually stop taking it thinking that I do not need it but then after a few months I need To go  back on the medication and within no more than 2 weeks I feel like a new person.

While writing this I only hope that I never foolish enough to stop taking Prozak."


"I posted regarding my son's good experience, now for my own. After struggling with distraction all my life, which I thought was normal and many in my family are the same, I didn't get evaluated until after my son's experience. I was also evaluated and was started on Strattera. The first thing I noticed was feeling increased thirst, some constipation, loss of appetite. I lost about 5lbs the first month (yeah!) and found that I felt more "calm", less irritable and less flustered at work. I am a FNP in a busy office and I was more on task, less easily distracted on the medicine (80mg). Waiting for a new script, I was off for 2 weeks and the old symptoms came back, forgetfulness, fidgeting, on-edge. The med has been great for me!"


"The bitter taste made the pills almost impossible to take. Dipping them in honey really worked! Thanks so much for that tip."


"Really worked for me, paroxetine definitely took the edge off and lessened anxiety symptoms. Would still have benzodiazepine as needed but this was 1-2 per month. Great antidepressant for anxiety & panic disorder."


"This pill has been pretty close to perfect. No weight gain, no depression, and my periods are much lighter and shorter. During the first few months my acne got really bad and I almost got off the pill, but then it went away around month 3 and my skin is pretty clear. I think this was just a bodily reaction to the change in hormones. The only negative is that this pill does make me drowsier than I used to be but I can manage. And plus I'm not pregnant, so I guess it's doing its job pretty well."


"I've tried many methods to reduce pain and period flow for endometriosis and tri sprintec was the only thing that worked. Yeah you get nausea but that's common with birth control. I've been using it altogether for 4 years I have no children and no pain in my pelvis while using it. Was the best one for me."


"Took anti-depressants for over 25 years. Had given up when I was diagnosed with insulin resistance. A friendly doctor prescribed 1,500mg Metformin daily. Great relief from my symptoms which only later were discovered to be the result of Hereditary Hemochromatosis. I am 66."


"First pill I tried. It didn't really give me noticeable side effects, but not many benefits besides no pregnancy. It didn't decrease cramps by much. I still got wicked headaches that would make me nauseous, and it decreased my sex drive. Over all when I stopped taking it I felt like I had come out of a fog, as if the pill had been dulling senses beyond just my sex drive. Happier to be on Sprintec now."


"You can do things and not remember them. You will tell awful stories about squirrels jumping out of glass boxes, and say things to your spouse/significant other you don't mean if you try to TALK while on this drug. So by all means do not take until the very last thing before sleep, i.e. you are in bed, ready for sleep. It kicks in super fast and you won't know what hit you. You only get 5 to 6 hours of sleep on Ambien but you feel rested with no druggie zombie after feeling. Note to single parents taking this drug: you will be worthless in an emergency situation and helpless to assist your children in a fire, a break-in, a trip to the ER at 1 a.m. (never drive on this drug!!!)"


"I used Axiron for about a year and found it to be better than Testim, which I was on for two years prior.  My testosterone levels reached 600 on Axiron and I had not been that close before.  The product is easy to use and absorbs quickly into the skin.  Moreover, it is without odor.  The only problem I had with application was that at times spilled out of the applicator cup if I wasn't extra careful.  I think if it was a little more like a gel, it would be easier to apply.  I didn't like that I was unable to tell when I was running low.  Also, the applicator and bottle are large and take up much more space than a few tubes of Testim when traveling.  My overall sex drive was good and consistent. My insurance stopped covering and I'm newly on Androderm."


"I've only been on the Tri-Sprintec pill for a little bit to help my acne clear up and regulate my periods. So the first few days have been fine, but my vagina itches like crazy. It wasn't that bad until the Wednesday after I started the pill. I don't think I've been on it long enough to notice changes in my acne or weight, but I didn't know if anyone else has had the same experience as I have had so far? I also haven't been sick or really felt that bad except for a little stomach aches."


"My doctor prescribed Seroquel for a number of Psychiatric conditions I have.  They are: Depression (already on 40mg Celexa for this, Seroquel helped as an add on), OCD, Generalized anxiety disorder, Anorexia, mood instability.  Seroquel helps with all these conditions, although it causes moderate constipation."


"I had Implanon put into my arm whilst I was still breastfeeding which was about November last year ( 2014) I noticed no bleeding at all and five months later still not one spot of blood. My baby is eight months old and I have just stopped breastfeeding. I have lost 5kg's in 3 months I have noticed I don't have an appetite anymore, has anyone else noticed weight loss with Implanon?"


"My Daughter has ADHD with a high level of agression, she is eleven.  This medicine has so far been a miracle for her and for all of us too. It has been about six weeks and she has only experienced a small amount of weight gain.  She is more focused at school and not fighting with friends, teachers, and family.  She is doing homework and cleaning her room.  She doesn't seem to have any sleep problems.
I will watch the weight gain and look for signs of muscle reactions.  Otherwise I am praying this medicine continues the way it has because I have not yelled for the first time in 9 or 10 years and she is happy.  More dr's need to step away form Concerta and that family of drugs if they see they dont work or causes the aggression."


"I had the nexplanon for 2 years. The first year was wonderful, never got my period and everything seemed great. The second year things started to take a turn. I started to experience extreme mood swings, fatigue, depression, acne and those are just a few things. My period came back it stayed with me on and off and sometimes even stayed for a whole month. I've also gained about 20 pounds since on it. Let's  just say it's made me extremely emotional and made me think I'm a nut case. I actually just got mine removed today and hoping to regain my sanity back."


"I have been on Microgestin 1/20 for about three weeks now and the side effects were not shy. First two days I had bad migraines, the third and fourth had cramps and the fifth to seventh day I was extremely depressed. I cried over almost everything and anything. Starting the second week it seemed like things were going okay until I started bleeding and it hasn't stopped. Isn't that the whole purpose? I got over my period two and a half weeks ago and now I'm getting it again and there are no signs of it stopping anytime soon. Good thing is I don't have mood swings or anything anymore but this excessive bleeding is now the problem."


"Mostly good but my pain would be worse at night when trying to sleep. I would take a dose and due to the 20 minute time to dissolve properly, I sometimes fell asleep with it still in my mouth which over time has done massive damage to my teeth nearby the cheeks in every quadrant of the mouth. The dental work required is in the ten thousand dollar range which I can't hope to afford. As a mid aged man who is divorced, this causes problems with the ladies and I don't blame them."


"Penciclovir is the active ingredient and it does work to clear cold sores faster.

For those wondering why it costs $700+ in the USA, & less than $20 in other countries, the reason is because the USA has been unsuccessrful in purchasing pharmaceuticals at discounted prices. The more countries that get discounts, the more the USA has to pay because drug companies want to cover their losses. Europe's ability to buy cheap medication depends on the pharmaceutical companies' assumption that the USA will pay full price plus enough to cover the discount to X country in Europe. Other countries' bargaining directly affects American drug prices. Americans need to put pressure on politicians and insist on drug bargaining to make healthcare affordable."


"I have been taking Doxy's for years, it treats a wide variety of infection, however, I was taking it for Acne, which works very well for me.  I learned over the years of taking this medication is to make sure to eat prior to taking it because it will cause nausea and light-headed ness.  Woman need to be especially careful while on Doxy because it can also cause yeast infection."


"I started taking Contrave on Dec. 16. At that time, my BMI was over 31. I am 5'7'', femaile, aged 57, starting weight was 218. I weigh 194 this Am on my ScaleDown program. I am also using Jenny Craig low- cal food program. My exercise is extremely light at present due to low energy. I expect this to improve as I learn to eat a bit more. Very very happy with Contrave, ScaleDown, and Jenny Craig. Great support from MD as well. NO side effects at max. dose except a bit of nausea occasionally, correlates with extremely low food intake. ( much less than Jenny Craig recommends). ."


"I'm a 33 yr old female who has experienced mild acne for most of my life. I have tried everything from over the counter products to antibiotics for 3 months. It was just recently that I started using Atralin (3 weeks now) & I don't need to worry about wearing makeup anymore (dream come true). This medication is definitely worth a try paired with other treatments. I currently get a chemical peel once a month, plexion cloths to wash 2x a day and Atralin at night. If my skin continues this way I will be a happier person as I don't even worry about hiding my face anymore. "


"I got the nexplanon three months ago. It has worked. I have not become pregnant but I have gained a lot of weight. I gained about fifteen-twenty pounds. It has also caused my skin to be really oily and causes me to get pimples often. I have had my period once in the last three months so I guess that is good. I suggest if you get the nexplanon make sure you are strict at dieting or eating healthy and exercise. I have two meals a day and go to the gym three days a week and have only lost five pounds in one month. The weight came on fast and it is hard to get off."


"Had my first seizure this year, put on Keppra a month later. Stopped the seizures, but makes me sleepy all the time. I have mood swings, depression, irritable and get frustrated easily. Tried to talk to my neurologist, but was told the only side effect Keppra has is being tired. Too scared to ask if I could try anything else because this is supposed to be the safest drug available."


"Works pretty well for nerve pain and numbness. I have degenerative disc disease along with several other cervical and spinal issues. I started at higher dose that had too many side effects but when my dosage was lowered I had a lot of relief."


"I've had fibromyalgia for 14 years.  I was prescribed Gabapentin and within days I had a horrifying headache and it felt like my brain was going to explode.  I have the same issue with Lyrica, Cymbalta, Savella and amitryptiline.  Maybe my brain chemistry doesn't like to be altered with this type of med?  I only know the reaction scared me badly and the only medication I can use for my fibromyalgia is Tramadol.  Fortunately it keeps the edge off my pain and I can work full time.  If only it would work on the soul crushing fatigue! :-)"


"Cymbalta after being treated with Lexapro, most recently and four other antidepressants and enhancers, has FINALLY relieved me of depression and suicidal thoughts after seven years of being treated and hospitalized at one point. With all my heart I can say this little capsule has definitely saved and improved my life 100%. It's nothing short of a miracle to me."


"I switched from orthopedic tri cyclen lo because my insurance started charging me almost $300 for 3 months. I didn't want to pay this so i was put on tri lo sprintec since it was covered. I started getting the worst anxiety I have ever had at the bed of the first week. I am on my second pack and hasn't gotten better. I am finishing out this pack and switching. This has been by far the worst birth control for me."


"Where do I begin? Seroquel, personally I think it is a great medication for the right person. I've taken seroquel on and off 3 different times, I am currently back on it and will most likely stay on it. I take 800mg before bed time and sleep like a baby. I do have a few side effects from this medicine which include dry mouth, constipation and indigestion. I take seroquel for Borderline personality disorder (BPD), I am also on 300mg lithium and 300mg 3x a day of gabapentin. Seroquel helps control my mania and impulsive behavior, it does not make me a zombie and I have great concentration. What I don't understand is this drug being prescribed to people for sleep issues, sure you sleep like a baby but those are the people with all these terrible side effects and horror stories."


"I use this as needed. My pyc has agreed to this to reduce manic moods. If you monitor your mood you can catch it and use this as when needed. I think mega high doses taken each day is asking for serious trouble from TD or diabetes. I take a mood stabilizer each day to push the mood up."


"Cipro caused me to have horrible panic attacks. I have been dealing with anxiety for the last 1.5 years, but had been doing so much better the last 5 months or so. I was prescribed it for a UTI, after my original antibiotic wouldn't be covered by ins. and I couldn't afford it. I will never take it again if I can help it all. It has set me back so much and even though I've finished it up over a week ago I am dealing with worsened anxiety still. I know it was the medication. I haven't been that bad since I started having trouble to begin with. It was awful. I've also had a lot of stomach issues since and can't help but wonder if it was the medication. I think the stuff is like poison for some people!!"


"I loved this medicine. It worked extremely well for my fibromyalgia symptoms. Unfortunately I had some severe side effects and had to stop taking it. Blood pressure up to 187/90 and severe headaches even after a month on it...If you only have minor side effects this may be well worth for some."


"I had Mirena inserted 6 months after having my baby. The pill made me depressed and I wanted something long-term so I went with this. I took an IBProfen an hour before my appointment and had no pain during insertion. I bled very little for 2 days afterward, but thats all. So far I love it!"


"First I will admit I am at wits end with PMDD. I was on Zoloft 100 mg. about 1 yr ago for about 3 months, and it was like a miracle pill. Then I started to research more about it and there was so much negativity toward weight gain while on it, and I did gain 10 pounds so I started to panic because I am already 50 pounds overweight. So I went against better judgment and went off of it. I went around the mountain over and over again trying to find a better solution, "Nothing was successful for me". I would rather be fat and happy than skinny and miserable for the rest of my life. I am going back on it in about a week. I am also going to be put on birth control pills to help with the hormones. "


"I was not dealing with depression issues at the time of taking this, but after a week I had to quit because I had thoughts of suicide."


"First off, let me disclaim that while I rated this a ten in EFFECTIVENESS, that doesn't mean it was all great. It obliterated my sex drive. A few months into using it, I was completely uninterested in being with my partner. Sex was actually painful. I've been off it for about three weeks now and I'm back in full swing.

I haven't gotten pregnant while using this without a condom, etc. So while it was effective, it was  kind of useless for preventing pregnancy since I never wanted sex while on it anyway.

I went on it initially for period cramps. My periods would last 2-4 weeks at a time and were awful. So painful. This brought them down to 1-1.5 weeks with what I am assuming to be normal cramping. I could function during my cycles on this."


"Update to earlier posts.

I have now been off this medicine since June and finally my problems with side effects are all gone.
My semen has come back to normal amounts, and my erections are also back! YEA!"


"I have been taking this medication for 18 months after struggling with chronic depression my entire life. In the beginning I had severe side effects including reduced appetite, uncontrollable yawning and jaw stress, insomnia, and sweating. Despite the frustration with these effects I still noticed considerable change to my mood and anxiety level. These many months later I am still noticing a much better level of mood stability and social confidence.  Unfortunately, I have almost no sex drive and can rarely reach orgasm.  I am hoping to try to go off the drug this year and am assured by my therapist and psychiatrist that this will ready itself.  I highly suggest to anyone on antidepressants to medicate while in a committed talk therapy."


"I was on Tri-Cyclen before I moved and lost health insurance. Immediately after losing health insurance, my doctor moved me to Trinessa, the generic for Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, without consenting me. I liked Ortho TCLo because I had no side effects and it cleared my adult acne. I cannot stand Trinessa. Although my acne is still clear, my mood swings are unpredictable and heavy. I am normally a strong and reliable person. I am constantly dealing with jaded, cynical thoughts, oversleeping and utter lack of positivism. I will be switching back to Ortho TCLo even though the costs are astronomical without health insurance."


"Ever since I started to use Yaz, I have gotten night sweats that are horrible. I wake up drenched and I have a loss of sex drive and I'm only 18 so that's not good."


"Like many readers, I too came on to this site before taking my first pill. My story is pretty simple. I've always had very irregular and painful long lasting periods. The last birth control pill I was on was Loestrin 24 and I hated it. I was also on the patch for a year and never had any issues. In fact, I liked it. But my mother started hearing the negative news behind the dose of hormones in it and so I got off of it. I stayed off of them for another year or so and started having the same issues again plus acne. Puerto rico is really humid. So after a week on Tri-Sprintec I love it. I take it at night 8.30pm and sleep like a baby. No complaints what so ever. I've lost weight too. Weird. Stay active, exercise, drink plenty of water. It's worked for me."


"It has been great! I have had mine in a little over 3 months now and I have no had ache, headaches or periods. However, I have had mood swings and every once in a while a little spotting whenever I wipe nothing crazy that's something I can handle. I love it"


"Amazing results!"


"Celexa is very effective in my opinion. I have tried Lexapro and Paxil which made me horribly sick. I have had a few side effects since I am just starting it, but they are not that bad. I can tell they are there but I'm not stopped by them. The only effect I don't like is the sexual problems. They aren't kidding about it. Started affecting me on day 1. Getting better is worth it though. Please give it a try, even if you're nervous!"


"I get about one or two a year and always used abreva.
Some how it never really works for me that well and wonder why they lasted up to a month. "


"Zoloft has helped me so much so far. I have spent the last three months getting worse and worse. Panic, anxiety and depression. I was on Wellbutrine but it just seemed to make me worse.

Two days after starting Zoloft (I take it before I go to bed), I woke up happy. I felt normal - like myself! I don't know about the sexual side effects yet because frankly it was difficult to want to be intimate when I was living in an emotional hell.

Thank you Zoloft!! "


"I've taken this medication twice for a sinus infection. Both times I've used it I got very nauseous and on the verge of throwing up. It's so bad I can't do much but lay down and sleep. I'm never using this medication again."


"The first month I was on diethylpropion I had a little headache but it goes away. I lost 11 lbs in the first month. The second month I was on this I lost only 3 lbs, its because you still do have to exercise. So I was off of it for 1 month and gained about 4lbs because I went back to my old habits of overeating and I didn't watch what I was eating. I think this pill will still work even if you get off of it, you just have to watch what you eat and count calories.
I'm back on it again and I have had some headaches but it went away. "


"Not to scare anyone but I had a terrible, scary experience on this birth control. Prior to taking this pill, I had occasional anxiety but I've NEVER had depression in my life. About 2-3 months after taking the pill, I started experiencing increased anxiety & panic attacks (depersonalization/derealization, heart racing, difficulty breathing).. then came constant crying spells and depression to the point where I would lay in my bed for days. My Dr said the bc had no effect on what I was feeling but I knew deep down something was wrong so I stopped taking the birth control anyway just to see. Its only been a month since stopping it and I feel 100% better.. No more crying, anxiety, panic attacks, etc. Be careful while taking this!"


"I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was eleven. Over the years, I've been on Metadate, Strattera, Ritalin, Adderall, and Concerta. Finally, after a couple years of a break from the medications (nothing worked before), my new doctor decided to put me on Vyvanse (30mg).

Within the first few hours of taking this drug, I noticed improvement. My mind didn't feel clouded, I could remember things, I could finish tasks, and I was not easily distracted like before. He added Depakote(125mg) to my regimen, which is supposed to assist with agitation and anxiety. Together, these drugs have tremendously improved my life. The only "bad" things I have noticed is that my appetite is almost gone and I talk A LOT more than I used to."


"I have only been takeing this for a week now but WOW.  It works so good.  It took 4 days to start it's action.  It was like I was normal again.  I am 31 and have had constipation my whole life.  Higher fiber has got me through until a partial blockage and intestinal damage 2 months ago.  Now with Amitiza I feel less bloated and a movement everyday on one pill in the morning. I feel so good! A little chest tightness but it gives me no nausea yet.  This is a great medicine."


"I am in my late 40's and struggled with insomnia for years.  Got by with Zopiclone for a long time but it started to become ineffective.  Finally, after many fears about side effects, I tried quetiapine.  I have gradually increased to 50 mg at night which seems to be the optimal dosage and I have been  sleeping very well and feeling much better.  Main side effect is dry mouth so I have to be mindful of dental care.  No increase in appetite or sweet cravings which I feared.  It is worth trying if you are really struggling.  Very happy with this medication."


"I took Concerta when I was in high school for 2 years. I am a very lively person; however, after the first year I literally lost all my social abilities. I had no desire to speak to anybody or go out and have fun I became IMMENSELY depressed almost even suicidal. Additionally, I became so anorexic that I almost got hospitalized for low hemoglobin. "


"It was effective in lowering my blood pressure from 150/95 down to 128/83 on average. However, this drop came at a tremendous expense to my lifestyle. I've felt very low energy, occasional dizziness, headaches and general lack of interest in anything. My appetite dropped and I stopped feeling life inside me. In a nutshell, harmful side effects make this drug ineffective in solving BP problems"


"I have taken this medication for about 6 months for insomnia and it works really well.  I don't feel groggy or tired the next day and I've never had any weird side effects from it.  "


"Wow... My energy and mood is completely stable. I feel completely normal- no side effects. Actually feel like I can accomplish things and am more apt to jump up and initiate something. No irritability at all. I am amazed and wished I hadn't let the bottle sit in my medicine cabinet for 2 years, fearing side effects and unwilling to swallow my pride (and a 10 mg pill). Hopefully this construes. I am very happy."


"I was taking 50 mg three times a day.  It worked awesome for my anxiety, however after a month I started having seizures and severe muscle twitching and I had to stop it."


"I tried Zyrtec about a year ago. It worked fine for a few days, then I started having frightening nightmares. "


"This drug is a game changer ! I'm coping daily much better...  I was a mess, suicidal a roller coaster of instability and terrible migraines, so far so good. I'm in a place where Dialectical behavior therapy (dbt) can at least sink in ....  I'm hoping not to much weight loss cause I'm tiny to begin with. But no side effects so far."


"No such side effects. Take 4 per day, every day."


"My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex June 18, and I took the pill within 24 hours. Within the first week of taking the pill, I experienced five days of heavy spotting, which further delayed my period to today, July 25. I experienced light stomach cramping and heavy white discharge that occurred on and off. Along with this pill I ingested lots of vitamin C, cinnamon, and parsley to help ease my mind, but nothing has ever terrified me so much, so I hope this will help someone else out there. I thank God for this pill. Good luck."


"Okay sure this stuff works it will make most of your acne go away but it drys up your skin like that it's actually really annoying"


"A LOT of side effects, blurred vision (extreme); depression; nightmares, delirium (if drink alcohol); withdrawal if suddenly stopped"


"I got a panic attack while at the movie, I wasn't watching anything scary, it was an action movie. Anyway, I went to my boyfriends house after and had another panic attack the same night and couldn't calm down. Went to work the next day and was still on edge. I decided to go to the doctors and she gave me Lexapro. While she gave me another medicine to take with it. I decided to only take the Lexpro/Escitopram. For the following 4 weeks only on Lexapro, I was very anxious and didn't go to work, then one morning during the 4th week, I felt better and normal. 2 year's later I saw a different doctor and she put me on a cheaper version of Lexapro, but during my first month on the other medicine I had another panic attack. I am now back on Lexapro."


"If not wanting to eat all day then feeling nauseous when you do is the goal of this pill, then it is perfect. Otherwise, I've never felt so sick when eating. I hope it works. I gained 26 pounds in 3 months!"


"I started using this about two weeks ago then about a week ago started getting bad headaches... mostly at night...now they are continuing during the day! I am going to STOP using them. At first I was noticing a pressure in my head then the headaches began! I was so hoping this would be my answer as Restasis didn't work for me!!! But I can Not deal with the headaches!!!  Not worth continuing the drug to have to deal with severe head aches!"


"I am a college student and I have found this product exceptionally useful. I use it for about everything from sports, studying, to even partying. I use this product after a hard day of practice. I use this product after leaning over a book all night and my neck hurts. I use this product for a hangover after a long night out at the bars."


"I had my gallbladder removed in September and have been on this drug (as needed) since. It is a god send. I don't get as nauseated as I was the first month of surgery but still have nausea here and there. This drug works very quickly and I feel instant relief. Sometimes I find myself needing to take 2 doses of the nausea is severe and it helps to ease it. Recommend this for anyone that struggles with nausea."


"Wearing the clonidine patch a few days and it is working."


"I fractured my L1 in 2/08 and have had chronic back pain since, in addition I have had 7 knee surgeries. My doctor is recommending knee replacements, but I'm only 36 and in no hurry to have it done. I've tried every kind of pain medicine there is. I found that Norco 10mg worked well but only lasted 3 hours or so and I was developing a tolerance to it. My family doctor finally referred me to a pain management doctor and he suggested oxycontin. I was hesitant at first becuase of the stigma associated with it but decided to give it a try. What a differance it's made in my quality of life. I take 1 x 20mg tablet in the morning and 1 in the evening and live pain free. I still take the Norco for break through pain, but don't need it often."


"I was taking sertraline 50 mg for depression and GAD for around 9 months. Quality of life was fantastic,side effects were terrible for the first few weeks but once the drug kicked in I was on cloud 9. My Doctor raised dosage to 100mg daily and that's when things got bad, depression returned and I was no longer sleeping. I've been weaned off and now on another medication. Overall Sertraline is a great SSRI. If your body isn't sensitive to medication.100mg is a perfect dose."


"I loved it!!!!"


"Changed and SAVED my life..."


"I just started on clonidine. I was noticing tiredness and insomnia and I am emotional as well.
My hot flashes are definitely less often however I am unsure if I will keep taking it due to the waking at night with the flashes which have not changed unfortunately.
I will see how it goes for another few days."


"Works for me."


"After three treatments of OTC failures I used Sklice. I got a special brush from beauty supply store used for coloring hair, $1.29 and separated hair like a beautician does to apply product to small areas from scalp to ends.  Started at the base of neck and moved upwards to top and front of head. Took me over 2 hours to apply. Then put a shower cap on for 45 minutes. Used nit comb to comb out the same way I applied. I found adults & tons of nits. Kept cleaning nit comb with baby wipes in ziplock bag for safe disposal.
Total success. After days I keep searching her hair and finding nothing.
My cost was initially $351.52 minus online coupon and my insurance resulted in a final out of pocket expense of $10.00.

Great product."


"Klonopin definitely has a smoother onset and longer duration than Xanax. Some tolerance can develop on long term usage so try to keep the dose as low as possible. Great benzodiazepine, wipes out anxiety once you figure out the right dosage for you."


"After reading about Buspirone, I called my doctor to see if I could try it. I am on my 3rd day and so far it has been wonderful. No bad side effects yet, maybe just a little dizziness for about 30 minutes but that's it. I am not sure yet how this will help my anxiety since I have only been on it for 3 days, but I am certainly saying some prayers that it does help."


"Been on trulicity for 6 months. No diarrhea, but super constipation. Major Fatigue. I take 1000mg metformin (down from 2,000) daily, plus the weekly 1.5mg trulicity shot. A1C at 5.9, which is great. I lost about 8 lbs. Frankly, I'm stopping it- bloating, cramping, and the constant fatigue is just not worth it. Time to get more active and eat right. It may be the hard way, but definitely the right way!."


Acetaminophen / caffeine / dihydrocodeine

"I have suffered from chronic headaches/migraines all my life (over 40yrs). I have taken Lortab, Tylenol #3 and Percocet but all have not helped much and caused rebound headaches. Panlor SS is the 1st medication that has truly helped ease off the pain with not many side effects. Thanks for a great medication."


"I would not recommend this to anyone, I have taken a few times in hope that I've just had a bad time with it. I have taken late at night woken up at about 5am til 7am with awful stomach pains, hoping it's just wind which doesn't go away, sweating, weak crying in pain, I eventually start to be sick which is illumious yellow then followed by what is blood coming up, eventually I am able to go to the toilet which will then ease the pain and I can go back to bed, two hours up in agony for a few moments on the toilet, it is not worth it at all."


"I used MoviPrep as directed and it did not work. It also took longer to work out of my system than other preps I have used in the past. I have never had a problem with other preps."


"I was on Keppra for a year and unfortunately I kept having  seizures. My doctor added Topamax to Keppra and it helped but I was still having seizures about every other week. I finally decided to go off Keppra and increase the Topamax dosage and I have been seizure free for over two months."


"PLEASE READ:

Are you afraid of shaking people's hands? Do pencils slip from your grip? Have sweaty hands during the dead of Winter? Afraid of handling loose change? Do you WANT a change?

LOOK NO FURTHER THAN DRYSOL!

I've had all the above problems and MORE for so many years; I've been embarrassed and socially anxious because of hyperhydrosis. Finally I went to the pharmacy and the pharmacist recommend Drysol. I had never heard of it before, but what more could I lose? My actual hands?

I tried it every night for 4 days now, and it keeps getting better and better. We went to Church today (Christmas) and during the peace offering my hands were completely DRY! I owe my life to this product. God bless them. I recommend it to everyone!!!!!!!!"


"I've been taking MiraLax, as my mom tells me, ever since I switched to formula. I'm not a good eater so I'm always constipated. However, MiraLax works pretty much all the time. It would get a 10 except that it failed today. I took my usual dosage and I was still constipated. I guess it's because I've been taking it my entire life."


"I was diagnosed with a UTI on Friday 11-06-15 and prescribed Cipro, while the urine culture was done. On Monday 11-09-15, the culture showed that Cipro was resistant and I was prescribed Macrobid, since it was sensitive. I have been feeling so tired that I missed 2 days of work from the fatigue and brain fog/confusion. The medication has taken care of the UTI but the side effects were more miserable than the UTI symptoms."


"The only reason I gave it a 9 is because I can tell immediately if I miss a dose because it is as if my depression returns full fold as far as crying, irritability, anger and deep sadness. I use something else-Wellbutrin & Xanax bid for my anxiety. I have been on many anti-depressants and have dealt with PTSD and MDD since dx when 19. Probably had it prior but I was dx when I got to college because I was an A student who could not function. I tried this because my alternating Lexapro and Celexa (not at the same time) was no longer working and I am so happy that my NP found it. I had some tummy issues at first but they were gone after the first three weeks and I already have insomnia so that has not changed. I am the young Me again."


"Tramadol was given to me in the Emergency room of my local hospital due to chronic back pain. I haven't been diagnosed with anything in particular yet, however this has helped ease off the pain.I was given a prescription of 20mg and it also has helped with my depression. Today actually, was a bad day and I decided upon myself to take two 20 mg pills and I really don't feel anything. The day has flown by at work and I just feel more focused."


"This medicine has been a blessing for me after trying chiropractor. Physical therapy, injections, etc. I suffer from fibromyalgia, scoliosis, bulging neck disc. I sometimes get tired but after 61 years of being very active and hard work (I mean hard) naps are expected. Sometimes all of us need to slow down."
