"I was taking Celebrex 200mg's a day to stop the pain in my lower back, This after spending over $2000 of medical bills and an Epidural on advise from a spine Dr. My racquetball buddy, a heart DR. said Voltaren is better and prescribed a 50mg dose.
It is a wonder medicine if you can take it.  Voltaren has given me my life back."


"I wanted to comment on Chantix.  I was sceptical at first but desperate to do something as I almost died from smoking.  I got H1N1 and because of my pack a day habit my lungs were weak enough that I got double pnuemonia and was hospitalized for a week.  Almost didn't make it.  After that I started smoking again like an idiot and went to Chantix for help.  I quit in 4 days.....  By the third day the taste of a cig was so terrible that I took one puff and threw it on the ground.  I almost had to force myself to smoke.  I kept taking the pills for 3 weeks.  After that I was done.  I still have an urge to smoke once in awhile but it will take years to undo what my 15 years of smoking made me think, act, and do..."


"Best depression relief.  Tried many others and many cocktails.  This is by far the best.  Side effects are livable."


"I am a 46 and I have noticed a change in my erection for about three years.  About three weeks ago I started losing my erection shortly after penetration during sex.  My doctor said my prostate is slightly enlarged and I may have prostititis.  He gave me samples of 10mg Cialis.  I took one as soon as I got back to my car.  Later that night, I had erections that were just as amazing as when I was 18.  Sex with my wife was just like old times.  If you have erectile dysfunction, don't be afraid to talk with your doctor.  It's just a fact of life that happens on its own.  Your erections will be stronger, longer lasting and even seem longer."


"This is the only medicine that works for my hayfever. I used it some time ago. If I get hayfever again I'll use it."


"this is by far the worst tasting medicine ive ever had! i dread taking it but it did clear up my infection but at the end of my 7 days i ended up with oral thrush and a yeast infection i was able to cure those on my own with home remedies the med is effective just has a few unpleasant side affects"


"I suffer with dysthymia, which is a chronic low-grade depression. I have to say, I have definitely seen an improvement since I've started taking it. It's been about 2-3 weeks now and I'm already noticing some changes. I don't feel as "low" all the time and I find it easier to think positively so I can pull myself out of a negative mood. I also have much more motivation to do things; I can't think of the last time I've actually felt motivated enough to jump out of bed and get ready for the day the moment I wake up in the morning! I used to struggle to even wake up.
 It hasn't helped my OCD, anxiety, or BPD too much yet, but it's also only been a few weeks, so we'll see what happens ;)"


"Back pain from accident squared away after second dose. The pain went all the way to my foot and up my back into my neck and shoulder. Just started medicine today!!!

10/11/2012"


"I am 19 years old and I was prescribed minocyline for my hormonal acne. I saw results in the first 2 weeks. My skin was completely clear and I had never been happier. Although whenever I stopped taking this medicine my acne would come back. I stayed on this medicine for 4 months until it stopped working and made my acne worse. Its very affective but it doesn't last."


"This pill made me so crazy and bi polar I have never expercied in my life! I couldn't even take on month of it I was costantly crying and depressed! I gained over 10 pounds within the last month I will never ever again use this birth control"


"My mother has been sick for years... when I say years... I mean I'm 39 I can remember her not being able to keep food down when I was a teenager. She's had every medical procedure, every treatment you can imagine. She's on medication for other illness (antipsychotic meds) but nothing has ever worked for her.

Finally, I suggested maybe you can try Zantac... to date, it's been a full month without her throwing up her food! Whatever is in this stuff... we truly believe it's gonna save her life! Thank you."


"I have been on this drug for a year. Initially, it made an amazing difference in my depression and anxiety levels, and allowed me to return to "normal" life. My short temper was back to normal, and I was enjoying many aspects of life again. After a year, the dosage I was on ceased to be effective (10mg) and the side effects more worrisome. I have gained nearly 20lbs with no increase in calorie intake and have in fact improved my diet and reduced calorie intake, and in fact am working out 5 days a week for an hour of hardcore bootcamp-style exercise...and have not lost a pound. At this time I am so uncomfortable with the weight gain and the absolute absence of libido that I am considering moving to Wellbutrin or other antidepressant."


"To any one who reads this.I was driving my car and all of a sudden..BAM!!! Out of no where my heart was beating very rapidly and hard, I could feel my body shaking with the heart beats, then an extreme pressure on my chest, then my throat got a weird feeling..like a burning pressure and then MY TEETH HURT!! I was flipping out!! Then I got light headed and thought I was having a heart attack.  It was 19 degrees out but I put the window down to get air which didn't help.  It wouldn't stop.  Then the light head feeling made me think OMG IM GONNA PASS OUT AND I DONT WANT TO HAVE A ACCIDENT AND KILL SOMEONE!!  I was on the Pennsylvania Turpike so I pulled  over and put my 4 ways on.   A cop came and he red lighted it 120mph.to hospital...ATIVAN SAVED ME!"


"I was prescribed Klonopin for Post-Traumatic Stress due to being in Manhattan on 9/11.  I suffered in silence for years before finally going to a Doctor last year.  At first, I felt, "Relaxed," using the drug, but after about six months, that feeling of relaxation began to disappear and my fear of a Terrorist attack worsened by the day.  So my Doctor increased the dosage to 1 MG, three times a day and my anxiety has disappeared again.  My only complaint about this medicine are the SEVERE sleeping side effects.  I generally don't feel fatigued until after taking the second dose for the day.  I tried spacing the second dose longer, but anxiety returned almost immediately.  Overall, a good drug though, with the exception of the excessive sleep."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Not really diarrhea, but a little fecal leakage at times. Loose stools a lot."


"An update on Victoza.  I have now been on it for a month.  This medicine is wonderful.  I have upped it to 1.2.  I have lost approximately 10 lbs.  Victoza will definitely tell you what you can and cannot eat.  Most of my side effects have gone away.  My morning blood sugars have been lowered by approximately 50 points.  I work crazy hours and I have to keep glucose tablets in my vehicle.  I just cannot pull over to eat regularly. I suggest this medication to anybody who has Type 2 diabetes."


"My daughter took this medication for about one year.  It helped with her mood swings but the side effects are not worth it.  She has a bladder infection, bladder incontinence, weight gain (which upsets her and causes more mood swings!), plus it has slowed her mental processing speed (lower grades in school).  "


"This medication is terrible. My insurance switched me to the generic last year. I took the medication for several months, and was miserable the entire time. I was noticeably irritable and extremely anxious. I stopped taking the medication and switched back to ortho tri cyclen lo and the problems went away. I am currently waiting to receive information on my new insurance, and ran out of ortho. I had an extra pack of tri lo sprintec and decided to give it another try. I regret this, because just a few days into the medication, I am once again anxious, grumpy, and miserable. Maybe it will work for you, but it definitely doesn't work for me."


"Everyone's body will react differently to meds, genetics. Just bc I had a bad experience, doesn't mean you will. Took w full stomach of bland food, 16 oz water, & took a daily probiotic. My experience w this med was horrible. I was unbearably anxious, rapid heartbeat, intense pelvic pressure, bad stomach cramping, nonstop nausea, vomiting, & explosive diarrhea. This was my 2nd time w this med,w the same bad reaction. I had to discontinue, both times. Took 3 days to start feeling better, 5-7 until normal. I'll never take this med again. I'm sure it's good for others, but nit me. I had cancer so I've taken a lot of meds. Never had to stop another med from side effects before, but I was scared to the point of going to the er. Never again."


"Face flushes and felt incredibly warm! Meds dropped my BP but I couldn't live with the nuclear glow from my face! Doc moved me to other meds."


"It is about 10pm and I had my iud insertion at 4 today. The night before, I inserted a misoprostol tab to ripe/dilate my cervix. I agree with most of the reviews that insertion isn't painful, but very uncomfortable. There was some pressure and cramping that didn't feel like a menstrual cramp, but close. After insertion I just had light cramping. I went out to dinner quickly after, and during my dinner I felt weak and flushed. I didn't feel like eating or talking. I started to feel better, but I just felt like I was having a hot flash. Now I'm feeling fine and there's some light spotting and clots. My doctor told me to have nothing in the vagina for a week and will get my strings checked next month. I would definitely do this again!"


"I was in severe pain and had nausea when I was prescribed this medication. I still have the pain and nausea, but they are more tolerable now."


"I've been on Otezla for 10 months now and I'm 95% clear. I had really bad psoriasis on both feet and some on hands. Also loss some weight. Since taking this medication my glucose has steadily gone up so my pcp put me on metformen which is not helping. Has anyone been dx with diabetis after taking Otezla? Please let me know bc the drs say its not related but I have read a few users that this has happened to like me. Also I'm having some back pains. Thanks
"


"I was put on birth control to not only reduce my cystic acne, but to regulate my periods. As far as my actual menstrual cycle goes, everything is normal, if not a little bit better because of this pill. But with my acne, things haven't been going smoothly. If I didn't have a complicated skin care routine I'm positive my face would be covered in acne. When I first got on the pill, my acne did clear up a bit, but eventually I started breaking out even worse than I did prior to being on the pill. To say the least, I'm extremely disappointed. I'm not using the pill for its intended purpose (I'm not sexually active,) yet this was recommended to me anyways??"


"Celexa has been a life-saver for me.  Ever since I was a child, I've had bad anxiety and depression, and I would have attacks where I would completely break down emotionally over something so silly, like a lost T.V remote.  I would talk to my mother about my anxiety, and she said it was something I just needed to get over.  Finally at age 23, I've confronted this problem medically, and Celexa has changed my life entirely.  I don't experience the depression I used to, my anxiety has decreased incredibly, and my attacks have almost disappeared. I don't feel a hovering weight on my shoulders anymore like I'm constantly letting people down, I'm just living my life like I'm supposed to."


"Taking it for three months  and no bowel movements.  I  have  one movement  a month. I  really  need to poop . All this medicine does is make me felt sick.I take as it says and nothing happens  .In between  I take Mira lax still nothing.

  I  get nausea vomiting  alot of the time.Cramps  I  am so tired of being  full of bowel. ."


"Works well for depression and anxiety.  I experienced diminished libido (male). Do not abruptly stop taking or miss a dose, you'll get worse than opiate withdrawal!"


"This is my first month of using this birth control I haven't had a period yet. I'm broke out in bad acne having mood swings and depression, which I don't like. I stay angry at everybody. I'm on my last week of the pill I'll never take this pill again."


"First off I'm 47 and I have suffered off and on from panic attacks and anxiety since my college days. This is the first drug that has worked on both. Not only that, but I only have to take the medication 3 days a week 10 MG and have had zero side effects. I work nights so not sure if the drug effects my sleeping. I think the only side effect is I seem to be thirsty all the time now and I have gained a few pounds. But, no panic and no anxiety since I started the meds 8 months ago. The only thing I worry about now is some FDA report coming out soon saying the drug is not safe..."


"After not having many issues with any dairy other than ice cream, I decided to try lactaid in order to be able to enjoy the delicious treat of vanilla ice cream once more...but I regret everything now. Not only did it not do Jack squat, but my symptoms of lactose intolerance are even worse now. Usually I can get away with just a little bit of gas and I'm fine but now I have nausea, diarrhea, gas, and bloating. Worst decision ever!!! This product deserves negative stars!!!"


"I have been on Victoza since Feb 15 and to date I have lost 41 pounds. I am 57 years old. I did not have a lot of the side effects that the medicine can cause. I try and eat high in protien lower in carbs and sugar. That seems to work for me. I treat myself once a week to ice cream or something of that nature. I still have a lot of pounds to go but I feel so much better, I have fibromyalgia and diabetes. My goal is to get off metformin and manage thru diet and exercise.    Much love everyone.....Rosie"


"It worked from the first day but I also had at least one episode a day of severe D
I used it for 22 days and then called the manufacurer for some input
The said D was the usual complaint  when there was a complaint and they had no recommendations except to speak to my  doctor
I decided to try it every other day and have done that only for the last 4 days
There is a slight improvement. Very slight in the D attacks
I will do this for the next 3 weeks (using it every other day )  and then see what point I am at.
I no longer get these terrible painful IBS C attacks where I thought I was going to die from the pain.  No more blood in the John.
The doctor told me to take the Lizness with Colace and Senna but I was afraid to do that."


"I have had ic for as long as I can remember and I too spent many a night crying myself to sleep and feeling suicidal, it's particularly tough as a young teen running to the toilet every five minutes in front of your peers with no explanation to why !
 However through relentless trips to the doctors and trial and error biopsies, bladder stretching I found elmiron !! Wow what a relief I am now 38 and have been on this medication for going on three years now, it's not perfect and during menstruation I still get flare ups but the constant nagging pain has subsided incredibly .I no longer cry my self to sleep or have suicidal tendencies , instead I am a mom a wife a civil servant and can lead a normal life. I get elmiron free on prescription"


"Absolute God send when it comes to anything cold and/or sinus related. Saves me from having to go to the doctors office."


"I worked at Target for a few years.  On my feet all the time, and they ached at the end of the day.  To get to sleep, I would use a face scrub like Apricot scrub on my feet, then rinse, towel dry, and apply aspercreme.  It worked like a charm.  I highly recommend this product for the relief of foot pain at the end of a long day's work."


"I have suffered from Irritable Bowel Syndrome for a while now and it seemed that no matter what I took it never helped. I would say this pill works a little too well. I take it and exactly 2 hours later I'm rushing to the toilet. I only take it once a week because the day I do take it, I'm on the toilet. I can't stress enough that plan a day near the toilet! Makes me feel 100x better though."


"Had it in for three hours and the headache and dizziness started. Luckily was able to get it removed within 24 hours, but the headache is still here five hours later. From what I've read, this is a terrible drug and I'm so glad I got it out of my body!!!!"


"I have to say I'm shocked at the number of reviews from people just a few weeks out from their injections complaining of having to self-Cath or peeing more often. Did you not read any of the literature on this procedure? Did your doctor not explain what the Botox was doing to/for you? You are paralyzing your bladder muscles, i.e. they may not work at all or very well after, causing retention. This is why the literature states that if you are not prepared/willing to Cath after, don't do it! An organ is being stuck over and over with needles - don't you think that organ may be a little upset initially and freak out a bit with spasms (causing more frequent urination in some) until it has a chance to calm down?"


"70 yr old unable to walk, sleep, sit, move without pain. Shoulder hurt so bad in tears. Went to orthopedist and X-rays revealed tear in rotator cuff. He prescribed meloxicam. Take 7.5mg daily and cannot tell you how it has improved my ability to perform routine daily activities. It truly gave me my life back. Although the prescribed dose is one a day, I try to make my prescription last longer by taking one every other day as it eliminated ALL my pain and my mobility is like a normal person. No major side effects thus far. Never want to give this up. Thank God for meloxicam."


"Although it helped with my delusional thoughts, it completely destroyed my life. I have anhedonia, loss of sex drive, fatigue, can't play football or any sports, my mind is blank, 40 kg weight gain, always hungry, can't get drunk. Feeling down sometimes. Robbed every joy from me."


"I'm a 20 year old female. I was prescribed Prozac 6 months ago. For the first few weeks I felt great, everything seemed better. After 1 month I became even more depressed, my period was very heavy and lasted weeks at a time. I had disturbing nightmares everything, developed restless legs syndrome, and started grinding my teeth. I was tired constantly and ended up in hospital due to suicidal thoughts. I am now on citalopram and things have never been better."


"This medicine has saved my life after months of having chest pains everyday. I became weak and felt like I had nothing to live for. The doctors ruled out my heart and ruled I had esophageal spasms. They had tried other medications that did not work. My gastroenterologist gave me the time released IMDUR. IT HAS GIVEN ME MY LIFE BACK IN JUST OVER A WEEK. I HAVE MY ENERGY BACK AND I AM HAPPY TO SAY NO CHEST PAIN. THE ONLY SIDE EFFECT IS A HEADACHE BUT I CAN HANDLE THAT WITH TYLENOL. I HAVE MY LIFE BACK. THANK YOU SO MUCH."


"I am 19 years old. I had severe panic attacks before dates and would get sick right in front of them. Also, had trouble talking to "higher ups" at work. My doc put me on 10 mg Lexapro for social anxiety disorder. Worked right away after the first dose. Takes away all pain and worrying. The only bad thing is I feel like my life is all in slow motion and can't be bothered about anything. Puts you in your happy place. No need to suffer anymore, there is an answer!"


"I started college when I took these. But I've noticed weight gain. I thought it was the freshman 15 but its not... Also theres been a HUGE decrease in sex drive. Stopping these pills now... Oh and also... I NEVER get acne.. all of a sudden I'm breaking out in places I've never even got pimples. Lastly, I'm pretty sure my body is reacting to the medication because I've never had a yeast infection... but for some strange reason I've been experiencing discomfort. Read about this before you decide to take it."


"Got the implant in July 2014 after giving birth to my daughter. No period and no bad side effects until June of this year when I stopped nursing. Then began the random bleeding (for anywhere from a few days to weeks at a time). I have gained weight about 10lbs, but I'm not entirely sure if that is from Nexplanon or no longer nursing. All in all, it's not horrible, but I really don't like bleeding all the time!! I've been thinking about having it removed, but we plan on trying to have another child late this coming spring, so I'll probably just try to hang in there a few more months before having it taken out. It is effective!"


"The pain I have after eating is relieved if i take my medicine on time. Before this, I was unable to eat any foods without having loose stools and severe pain."


"I first found Afrin while in Vegas. I was super stuffed up, worse than ever before. I tried out the Severe Congestion version and it cleared me up almost instantly, it was awesome. This version has a Vicks type chemical which burns big time but only for a moment. The original formula is not like that but works well but not as quick, 5-10 minutes maximum. I have been taking it daily for a year and have had no issues. After reading these articles, I will consult with my doctor. The only side effect I have experienced is the same with every sinus spray, the rebound effect has made the symptoms a little bit worse. "


"I've had several colonoscopies. Previous prep was always basically Miralax/Gatorade plus one or two other laxatives.  Suprep is better by far.  Less to drink, less bloating. Two dose regimen meant that I got a decent night's sleep because the evening purge slowed to a stop before bedtime.  Didn't taste that bad, like salty fruit punch.  I'm actually not dreading the next colonoscopy."


"Ended up hospitalized for 5 days due to major leg pain in both legs"


"I had the same problem with the start of this product as others mentioned before--it does break you out for the first few months (I think 2-3 months). However, after that short period of problems it got better & my face started to clear up. I have been taking birth control with this product to control my hormonal balance. The birth control does the job overall but whenever I get a few pop up pimples I put the Ziana on it for like 2 days & it pretty much kills the pimple. I can't use Ziana everyday because it DOES dry out your skin. So I WOULDN'T recommend this be in your daily skin routine...after your face gets use to the product I'd say use it for controlling spots."


"ONLY ONE PILL IS ENOUGH!!! It is 4am and I am a awake with cramps. I took two pills at 12am and I was up at 3 and my goodness was I cleared up. However I am so so very bloated and still cramping and there was a bit of blood in the toilet bowl D: I really recommend only taking one especially on your first time, these things are anything but gentle!! If you want gentle relief- take milk of magnesia instead. That's a nice one."


"MAJOR hair loss, anxiety, insomnia, weight gain, panic attacks AND large dark spot on forehead (melasma)
Please stay away from this birth control! In the past, I use to have extremely horrific periods, vomiting and horrible cramps. I started this birth control to help with this and for a while everything seemed great, my periods were normal and the debilitating cramps went away. I thought all was well.  After about 3 years or so I started noticing hair breakage? Also, I noticed an odd freckle on my forehead. I had asked a nurse and she said it was a sun spot (I was 29 at the time). The %u201Cfreckle%u201D grew larger and larger until it covered most of my forehead!!!! I had to go to 2 doctors to find out what was wrong with me. Stay away!"


"This medicine has a very strange effect on me. Within 15 minutes of taking it I start to feel tired but at the same time develop a massive unyielding erection. It's frustrating because the medicine works, I am super tired when I take it but too uncomfortable to sleep."


"I was dx with sero positive RA nearly 35 years ago and have been on just about every NSAID, dmard, infusion and combinations of these. Simponi Aria along with lefunimide is my current cocktail. While it seems to be keeping my joint pain under control, my fatigue is off the charts and I have lots of body aches, frequent headaches and gastro problems. My bp and glucose levels are also elevated, though I'm not sure if this is due to this medication, or not."


"Worse medication ever! The doc prescribed me it for my tremor and migraines which it did help with. However it gave me awful chest pain and tightness, abdominal pain, constipation, and made my arrhythmia way worse"


"I have been on Belviq for 8 days now and have lost 6 pounds.  I am using the Losing It app to log my food and track my calories which makes it so easy.  My goal is 1200 calories a day but sometimes I just can't work them all in.  The first couple of days I did have a small nagging headache but I am use to dealing with migraines so it wasn't a big deal.  The first week there was some tiredness but that seems to leaving me now and I seem to be getting more energy back.  The discount card is a plus since it only cost 75.00 a month to fill.  I am happy with the results so far and look forward to feeling better without the weight."


"Before Imitrex I had Migraines that would last 2 day. I finally went to emergency to get a shot of Demerol and then sometimes it would not work.
I would be right there with my bowl & sun glass on waiting my turn. I was put on Imitrex when it first came out and the long term effect was not for sure on people. Anything is better than a migraine headache. I started taking the shots and at first it made me feel a little funny for first 2 minute then it cleared up and within 15 minutes my migraine was gone. After using it for a while I developed an immunity to it. I then had to use 2 shots. My doctor at the time had me stop using it. It WAS a great medication for Migraines back then."


"I do not have depression, anxiety etc. But I do have occasional insomnia. Someone told me to try Seroquel and I did. Best stuff ever for insomnia. I've tried the XR 25mg & 50mg. Both work but I have to take early enough because the drowsy effect is long lasting. But best sleep ever!!"


"Better than some drugs, but Lamictal has been better. I still had manic episodes on this medicine, but sometimes I would forget to take it. Yet I knew there were times when I was taking it that I still got manic. But my spouse could tell the difference when I wasn't taking it, so it must have done something for me."


"Aczone has improved my acne in my t-zone, but it has worsened the acne on my cheeks. I never had acne on my cheek, but this makes my cheeks so oily that it has cause lots of acne on my cheeks."


"Hi i'm a fifteen year old girl and i'm going to be a junior once the summer vacation ends. I've had axillary hyperhidrosis since maybe sixth grade. I never really became self conscious about it until maybe eight grade. I always wore sweatshirts no matter what or a baggy t shirt. My hyperhidrosis wasn't as bad as others where they'd be drenched in sweat, I just always had a maybe one point five by one point five inch sweat mark and it's just uncomfortable. The night before last night, I started using hyper care solution, and the following day (yesterday) I had absolutely no sweating. The only problem is that Hypercare is really itchy and irritates my skin. But it doesn't burn. I recommend this product! It works like magic. Changed my life."


"I have been on it for 16 days now. Lost 17lbs. I%u2019m 50 years old, 6%u20190%u2033 tall and weighed 245 lbs. currently weighing in @ 227/228. My only side effects were dry mouth, which is not too bad, considering my lack of water intake. Another was great sleep. You have to watch yourself, because you have to force yourself to eat. If not, you can have a lack of energy, slight light head. When I do eat, I find myself eating much healthier. Cutting back beef and carbs. My plan is to stay on it till I reach my goal of 200 lbs. I%u2019m hoping I can achieve my goal in the next 3-4 weeks. The manufacturer has a free 15 day trial, so you can try it and see how it goes! I highly recommend Belviq.
Good luck!"


"I like to travel and the last thing I need is a further compromised immune system. Otezla sounded like a good option, so I talked to my doctor about it. She was cautious, as they had 2 other folks on it and one was quitting because of the side effects, and the other hadn't shown any progress as of yet.  I started in October of 2015, and the only side effects I suffered were minor tension headaches for the first few weeks, and weight loss.  Like helped me lose 30 pounds weight loss. 7 months and 98% clear, with my arthritis almost gone also. I haven't felt or looked this good in 20 years. Completely changed my life."


"My swollen ankle is finally back to normal thanks to Mobic. The medicine really works and reduces instantaneously!"


"This medicine is a God-send! For years I struggled with restless legs, hypnic jerks and sciatic pain. It was torture. After one dose of Soma, the legs stopped hurting and jerking me awake every 45 minutes.  The dopamine agonists (Mirapex and Requip, which made me impossibly nauseated) were not a viable option.  Finally, my doctor said, "let's try Soma"; needless to say, the relief was instant and wondrous!  The torture is over!  The respite from the incessant twitching is nothing short of life changing.  I take 525mg just before bed and I am at peace.  Sweet, sweet peace!

PS: I only take it 30 minutes before bed."


"Have a little bit of a lingering cough from a cold. Not giving me much trouble except keeps me up at night. I heard this was good so I took so I could get some sleep. Helped tremendously with the cough but then I was having bad stomach cramps and diarrhea. I hadn't eaten anything that should have upset my stomach and it didn't really feel like a "bug" so I looked up side effects for Delsym.  Now I wish I had done that first because I probably wouldn't have taken it. So, while it worked for my cough I still didn't get any sleep due to the stomach issues."


"All my life I've suffered from depression. Within the last year, severe anxiety came out of nowhere and I'd have about 2 or three bad attacks per month, on top of the multiple small attacks I'd get daily. ESPECIALLY in social settings. But even alone. I completely withdrew myself from my classes and my social life because of this.

 I started going to church. Meditating, running, praying, dieting, yoga, and trying to practice mindfulness.The failed attempts worsened my depression.

 I wanted the anxiety to stop so bad that I frequently considered suicide.  Its been less than a day taking Lexapro but I'm so hopeful. Everything that felt like such a huge deal just hours ago are so minimal now. "


"Dr prescribed this for heavy period, clotting due to fibroids. Used to have to change pad (no use for tampon...flow too much) every 45 minutes.

It worked within hours of taking. Now on 3rd month. First 2 cycles were heavy. Third one has been some light spotting and cramping but hardly anything! I haven't taken a single pill in over a month.

Very pleased."


"I was prescribed cipro by my urologist after getting repeated UTI's every year (a lot, over 5 a year and they are incredibly debilitating and painful). Cipro works immediately, either the same day if you take it in the morning or the day after if you take it at night. Take it with food and water and take AZO for pain relief and you should be good. The only side effect I have is nausea, but it's not too bad. I recommend cipro for those with repeated UTIs."


"I suffer from terrible cramps and fibroid. I do take a low dose birth control, that sometimes barely helps my cramps. I was given the 1 dose a month, 6 month treatment after my GYNO could barely do a vaginal ultrasound for one of my visit and I had been having a "period" off and on for over 3 months. The fibroid was so large, it obstructed the movement of the wand thingy. I've been on it for 5 months, the 1st month, I still got my awful period and spent my usual $50 on pads and Advil, just as heavy. But by the 2nd month, bye bye Aunt Flo and it's been pretty okay except for the hot flashes,weight gain, tiredness and the sore hips, soles and ankles. The sore hips, soles & ankles don't hit until the 4th month. The hot flashes just suck!"


"I have had this medicine for a week now. I am not totally sure if I like it or not. I cannot sleep if I take one of these pills. They make me feel like on high doses of steroids. They do help with pain from the rheumatoid arthritis. If you do not have trouble sleeping then I think this medicine could work for you. If you are already suffering from sleep problems then I would not advise this medicine."


"Tonight was only my 4th night on the pill. My doctor has me on 10 mg at night for the first week. So far, the side effects are very uncomfortable. I mostly feel them right after taking my dose. My mouth is so dry, I'm nauseous, gassy, I can't sleep and I'm exhausted. I know the doctor said it could take weeks to work, so I'm not knocking it yet. Also, some reviews I have read say that some of the side effects disappear and I am certainly counting on that. So far, I haven't seen much change in my anxiety and hopefully it comes soon."


"I have been using Tri-Sprintec Lo for about 2 weeks after switching from the Nuvaring. I have had many symptoms from it. I have been breaking out with acne on my chest and a few on my face. Which I never had a problem with any acne before. I have had breast tenderness, and occasional cramps, few headaches. I have also noticed that my hair has been shedding a lot more than usual and noticed that is a bad side effect. I rather have these symptoms than the ones I have had with the Nuvaring. I was having something similar to hot flashes. I am going to call my doctor today and ask about it. I am going to try this one for about 2 months like I did the Nuvaring and if it doesn't change then I will try something else."


"So I bought the monistat 7 day tx after getting a yeast infection from using antibiotics for strep throat. The first night the itching right after application was intense..it had me up like a crazy person feeling disgusting and I couldn't keep still. After about 30 minutes,  it went away and I was able to sleep. When I woke up in the morning I felt 100x better. Tonight is night 2 and I'm about 15 minutes after application ...I'm itching again...it's starting to subside but this is very uncomfortable.  My symptoms seem to be going away in the meantime but the itching with application is very annoying."


"This is the only birth control pill I've ever been on that has really worked for me. No side effects at all (besides mild nausea and headache for the first few days). My mood was so even. The big problem is that my insurance will not pay for it, so I am taking Tri-Sprintec, which has a slightly higher dose of estrogen. "


"I've been on this medicine for 2 months now. They up'd my dosage every week as follows, 20mg, 40mg, 60mg, 60mg went to my check up and I still felt very irritable and mean so she bumped me to 80mg and said that should work. NO! I hated it! I felt like I was jumping out of my skin, I couldn't sit still and felt so antsy that I couldn't sleep. I had to drink a beer or take a Xanax to fall asleep. I decided to take matters in my own hands and dropped myself back down to 40mg and I feel great now. I have no depression and I feel alive again. My anxiety is still here but will be back on my Klonopins soon to help. I HAVE to take this with dinner or I feel nauseous."


"Horrible! Took for a week and cried almost the whole last 3-4 days before I stopped it. This made my depression worse. I know it said 'sadness' would subside in 4 weeks but mine only got worse and worse over 1 week. I barely got out of bed! Awful experience."


"I LOVE THIS BIRTH CONTROL. I have had zero side effects and no period."


"I was on this BC for about 6 months. This was the second one I tried since the first one made me sick every single morning. This brand though was much worse- about 3 months into it I realized new small bruises all over my legs. Every day there would be more. Then I started coughing up blood. When that happened I went straight to the doctor and told them all that was going on, they ran blood tests and everything. I called my mom crying because I was certain I had cancer. My mom was crying, my dad was crying, my boyfriend was crying. We all were expecting it to be bad. I felt dizzy all the time and like I would pass out, I just felt miserable. Well the blood test came back clear- turns out it was the BC. Never again. Don't take it!"


"So tonight was my first 20mg Latuda at dinner and I was super afraid that akathesia (a restlessness from taking antipsychotic pills) would happen. But so far so good. I guess some people get it and some dont."


"I have had the nexplanon since February 2015. In September 2015 I had all the symptoms of pregnancy. Took all the test and the were negitive. I have had mood swings since march 2015 and they are getting worse. Someone could say something to me and I start being a horrible, cry or not feel anything. I have severe headaches and nothing helps. They are so bad they make me see double. I found out today that I have to find a new Dr because my insurance is no longer accepted where I live. I have to change it or drive almost an hour to see one. I do not recommend this product to be used. Please stay away and find another birth control."


"Patch worked great at first.  Now I'm on the 20mcg and the itching is killing me.  Now I am having a hard time urinating after being on this patch for over 3 years.  Guess I will have to be in pain again.  Don't get me wrong at first this was amazing but it's just not giving me the relief I need.  Had to start using more breakthrough meds."


"I been on sprintec for about 3 weeks and it works great and my period is reg. I have not been sick or had any negative side effects at all. But, my acne have been clearing up, decrease of appetite, and a little moody for the first four hours after I taken the pill. I love this birth control since the ring made me really sick, gain weight, intense headaches, and made me bleed for two months straight at a time. I would recommend that you eat something before taking the pill to avoid headaches. Other than that it isn't all bad for me. I think everyone need to experience it for themselves instead of believing everything you hear or read because every experience is different. I had read over half of these reviews before I decided to take sprinte"


"The nausea, vomiting and massive diarrhea was so bad that I had to stop after two days.  I waited a week and tried again only to have even worse reactions including headache, gas, etc...  It has been a week and I still have diarrhea 20 or so times per day and as others point out the smell is terrible.  My belly is bloated and distended and my throat hurts from the vomiting.  No weight loss and sugar is higher due to inability to retain medications."


"This medicine I have been taking for 7 months, it is easy to take being such a small pill however the side effects are still there, leg cramps and hot flashes, better than the tamoxifen I was taking for 2 and half years. Overall I think it is a lot better."


"Very good.  I solved my problem.  I take it once every 3 days without any issues."


"I have pneumonia and I've been taking this medication for days and I actually am getting worse not better"


"I was prescribed Beyaz after being diagnosed (finally) with Polycystic ovarian syndrome. After three months I've lost roughly fifteen pounds, I actually get my period (which for me is a good thing) and I see no other side effects past that that weren't bringing the changes from being put on progestin back to normal. If you have PCOS or similar symptoms, I'd recommend researching it further."


"I am 16 years old and have bad acne on my  face especially forehead and nose area and deep pigmentation around my lip area and extremely oily skin and my dermatologist recommended me tretin 0.025 and I've been using it for about 4 days now and also having breakouts and skin peel but as my mom has used it..its very normal for these things to happen at the starting and to keep my skin moisturised I use cetaphil moisturiser and suncros sunscreen and it keeps my skin protected and also keeps it from drying out completely.. Can't wait to see amazing results after about a couple of months"


"I had the IUD placed back in April of 2017. The pain from insertion was short lived. Honestly, if you are used to having painful cramping, you will not be greatly affected by the insertion. If you have a low pain tolerance, you might want to have some OTC pain meds with you. Also, wear a panty liner, my OB didn't provide one at insertion and there was some bleeding.  The first few months, my cramps were a bit stronger, but nothing I couldn't function normally through; flow was also a bit stronger, but again, nothing I couldn't function normally through. I do remember feeling an occasional twinge of pain if I sat down too hard the first month and sex left me feeling a very dull ache in the area where the IUD sits. It's been fine ever since."


"I developed akathisia after being on Abilify for 2 weeks. A rare side effect. I was really hoping the drug would work. Because of the side effect I can no longer take it."


"Best pain relief."

"Lamotrigine is a god send! Changed my life, wish I'd gone on it years ago. Always felt held back due to instability of moods. Suffered since teenager, thought to be ADD and anxiety. After traumatic divorce (my ex was a drug addict), professionals diagnosed me with cyclothymia. Was afraid to go on meds, being sensitive to drugs, and bad time with the pill. I started taking Lithium- felt fatigued, dehydrated and weird appetite. Switched to Wellbutin, made me lethargic and gave severe brain fog. As a writer and artist, I need to feel things! 5 months ago, a horribly bad week made me willing to try anything. Started @ 25 mg, raised by 25mg every 2 weeks until 200mg. I feel amazing, my life and work have blossomed! Feel grateful to be alive!"


"There has never been a medication that helped to alleviate my pain like Nucyenta ER."


"Great for unclogging your nose, horrible for anxiety. It made mine bad enough on several occasions that I ended up in the ER. It also gave me dangerously low blood pressure, heart palpitations, hallucinations and an overall terrified feeling. I wouldn't recommend this at all for anxiety."


"Terocin patch works better than otc products. I feel relieve right after a few minutes from applying the patch."


"Was experiencing 10 out of 10 back pain from muscle spasms. Received a 40 mg shot of Toradol. Reduced the pain to maybe 7 or 8.  So, it's better than ibuprofen for sure, but it just didn't cut it for serious pain."


"I hate this thing I been bleeding for months now I have never had acne and now its terrible! MY hair is falling out, I gained so much weight and I am so unhappy. I am taking it off in Friday  i do not recommend  this  method!"


"I am so grateful for this site and all the thoughtful comments.  I now know I was not crazy or anything.  I was on hydrochlorothiazide off and on for many years along with other different medicines.  I always quit taking it because I got so sick. So I finally put myself on Lasix along with my Atenolol and now I feel just fine with the smallest dose of Lasix. The doctors mostly don't seem to know how sick it makes many people. Thought it was our imagination. I am now certain."


"This really helped me with the nausea and dizziness of Vertigo. It does make one VERY sleepy. I could only take a HALF of a 25mg pill. It's been 2 days and I am still sleepy, but it helps so much"


"I was diagnosed with MS about 3 months ago. My MS is mild so I could try weaker drugs which are usually injections (every other day). But I hate needles so my doctor prescribed tecfidera for me. It has been really good for me so far with almost no side effects. "


"Well let me share my experience. When I got Mirena the first day it did hurt a little bit but not as bad as having a baby. It's been almost a year since I got Mirena and I have gained about 20 pounds. I feel horrible and the mood swings are really bad. "


"Only took one 500mg cipro tab, felt weird and drowsy, fell asleep. My gut instinct told me this drug isn't right. After reading of the devastating impact it has had on so many, I'm not taking anymore! Thank goodness for your posts. My legs do feel bit numb thats after taking one tablet! Also I felt sick briefly and hot flush in heart and head. I will try cranberry juice :) Failing that I will try another antibiotic not from this class."


"I started Phentermine 37.5 mg on 7/10/15. I was 230 lbs.  It's now 7/30/15, and I've lost 17 lbs in 20 days!!! I have not exercised at all. I only drink water or milk. Cut out all sugar and I don't even miss it.  This pill really kills my appetite.  When I do eat, it's always something healthy, but very small portions. I'm not hungry at all. I still have about 60 lbs to lose. I hope it keeps going this easily."


"Side effects, side effects, side effects!!!!
Rapid weight gain, headaches, fainting, cholesterol raised to high levels, severe abdominal cramping"


"I just got my Mirena put in yesterday (Jan.6.2016). it hurt like hell getting it put in. After getting it put in, I bled really hard that same day. I even had a huge blood clot come out of me but the cramps were tolerable. I took extra strength Tylenol and I was fine. Now it's the next day, I'm not bleeding and I feel great. But we'll see.."


"My daughter had a stroke after using this for a year."


"Fentora, like Actiq, is a very fast acting pain medicine that starts providing relief within minutes. One of the advantages of Fentora tablets is that it quickly dissolves in your mouth, unlike Actiq, which is large and noticible.  "


"I have been on methadone for 5 years now. This saved my life! I'm a 27 year old male, that's happy to be alive and healthy. Without this, I would be dead. I was prescribed 90 oxycodone 80mg monthly & 120 IR 30s monthly. I would easily take all of these within 2 weeks, and that's not counting the scripts I would buy! I eventually turned to H. Worse thing I ever did. Listen if you take methadone the way your suppose too, it will work! I'm truly thankful to be alive today. I haven't releapsed since I started treatment 5 years ago! Good luck & god bless you."


"I have been taking Microgestin for 10 years and have experienced minimal side effects. The positives: My periods are much lighter, shorter, and I have less cramping. My skin cleared up dramatically, I would get cystic acne and this pill in combination with tretinoin from my dermatologist has drastically improved my skin. I have experienced no weight gain. The down side is my libido has decreased recently (only after being on the pill for many years); I'll be switching pills temporarily to see if there is a difference. I did stop taking this pill for about 6 months and I immediately gained weight and my acne returned. If it works for you, it's a great lo dose option!"


"I was having severe hot flashes (about every hour) and night sweats and couldn't take hormones and most treatments because of my blood clotting condition (Factor V Leiden).  I even tried acupuncture (which did help for awhile) and compounds and everything.  Anyway, a new doctor I saw at my Dr's office wanted me to try a low dose of gabapentin (100mg 1x daily at night)... so I did.  It didn't take long to completely stop the hot flashes.  I only took it for awhile and they pretty much stayed away for years.  If and when they flare up again I take the gaba again and they're gone.  From what I've been reading my dosage is extremely low, but hey.. it worked for me.  Oh... and I was originally prescribed this about 10 years ago."


"I am 28 years old, was given propofol for a colonoscopy. I was extremely nervous before the procedure because I had a horrible experience with sedation, apparently I cannot be sedated, I was wide awake. So I was scared this would be the same, I was wrong. I remember the medicine being put in my IV, my arm started burning a little, and the next thing I knew I was waking up and the nurse saying you're all done! Immediately I was awake, no grogginess or side effects. I had a snack and soda and was ready to leave. I felt fine the rest of the day. I am having an EGD for GERD symptoms today, getting propofol again so not
too worried."


"Two light flares of ulcerative colitis with hospitalization. Two different doctors prescribed prednisone with the usual two-week regimen. With the 2nd occurrence, the prednisone didn't do it's job. The flare subsided by itself. 3rd occurrence required a f4-wk hospitalization. Prescribed Asacol(800 mg 3x a day) plus IV prednisone. Following release 800 mg Asacol 3x a day and 10mg prednisone by mouth 4x a day. I followed the reduction regimen (decreasing days/dosage) until 14 days were up. Bathroom trips decreased, but then would increase again. Dr and I agreed stopping prednisone too soon. Worked out schedule with doctor. Decrease dose 0.5mg 2wks at a time. Took 8 weeks. It worked. Now have control by taking Sustenex with daily 2,4 gr Asacol."


"I was prescribed Augmentin for a sinus infection. Worst medication experience of my life. I never get headaches, and after just three doses I had the worst headaches. My head throbbed. I couldn't sleep. My vision was impaired. I had excruciating stomach pains. I was far sicker than I was prior to going to the doctor. I will never take this horrible medication again. Beware of the side effects if you do."


"This drug saved my life.  I had my first manic episode recently and the doctor put me on 200mg and 50mg Xr at bedtime.  I take Vraylar too.  I sleep well and my bipolar tendencies (rage and mania) are pretty much cured. It took two months before I was not fatigued the next day. I have no weight issues from this drug. Thank God for this drug and the doctor who prescribed it."


"I was having terrible sleep for past 5 days waking up between 1-3am with intense cramping.

My doctor gave me some pills, I have never had a sleeping pill before.

I slept non stop, In fact I had some trippy dream that I flew a spaceship to Dubai and landed on a skyscraper.....I now know what Dibai will look like in 50 years....Highly recommend"


"I have been on the patch for about four months now. My biggest complaint would be the weight gain and the acne. Previously I was on the pill and have tried the Nuvaring. The pill made me too nauseous and I forgot to take it all too often. The Nuvaring just didn't suit me. I love that I don't have to worry about this birth control but once a week. I will say that each time I change the patch I do have a day of nausea. I also have minor irritation of the skin wherever I place the patch. I itch pretty bad some days more than others. I find that putting it near my shoulder blades avoids any tugging on the clothing and the lint issue."


"I started with 50 mg, and had about 7 migraines each month for the first 2 months. The neurologist increase the dosage to 75 mg, and I only have 3 migraines in a month. Before I started to take amitriptyline, I had migraines every other day.  The neurologist said the migraines are rebounding and my brain was screaming for Maxalt or Imitrex.  I haven't been needing to take Maxalt and Imitrex for 3 months now. Amitriptyline doesn't affect my mood, but I feel my body is retaining water and have constipation too.  I'd rather have these side effects than migraines."


"I have dealt with athletes foot for at least 18 years. I dealt with the itching, scaling, thick skin, odor, and yes thick, brownish, ingrown toenails. I have tried everything under the sun to get rid of it. I even tried the home remedies like soaking your feet in Apple cider vinegar or using Vicks vapor rub on the nails. If I accomplished anything with any of these "remedies", it was pretty much just to keep the fungus at bay. No better, no worse. So I finally decided to do something about it and try Lamisl tablets.  Started in Oct/2012 and finished in Dec/2012.  Its now June/2013 and my nails look 10 times better.  The thick, brownish color is gone. No ingrown nails. I can wear sandals now!!"


"I have IBS so meds are a problem.  I suffer from complicated grief and PTSD as a result of my loss.  I finally consulted a psychiatrist because primary care Dr. Not knowledgeable enough.  We tried five meds, at least.  The best by far was Lexapro but it made the IBSD so bad it became dangerous.  Now on 50 mg Zoloft generic after starting with half a 25 my pill and slowly working up.  Just had flare of IBS so can't increase another half as Dr. Prescribed until it settles down.  At first I thought it was working, not any more.  I can't sit still, a foot is always rapidly shaking, even if I wake up during the night.  I feel really hopeless and like underneath the drugs effects I'm ready to scream.   Have to talk to my psych Dr."


"Went to the ER for fever and strep throat. My back was hurting very badly as well. I was prescribed a few things but Tylenol 3 for pain. It makes me very groggy and sleepy and I like that because of rather sleep the day away than sit up. Makes me kind of dizzy but not too bad. Works well for pain and sleep."


"Insertion was a breeze. I was SO nervous about it after reading about it online, especially because I was not on my period during it. I psyched myself out for no reason. I cramped that day, but took a nap and woke up totally fine. I had no side effects aside from light cramping for about 6 days. Then the spotting began. I spotted/bled lightly for an entire month after that! I had the feeling that it would never end. That ended about 4 days ago(hopefully this isn't a false alarm), so now I'm waiting for a period to come to know what that's like. No other bodily side effects. Maybe hair loss? Not enough to tell, though. No weight gain(as of yet!), no migraines. Would recommend! Just be wary of the adjustment period"


"Takes time to come up, this is a problem when you have a panic attack, suicidal thoughts and anxiety go away within an hour but they go away, it's like a emergency button, it has saved my life from suicide. Dependence builds within months."


"I started taking Bactrim twice a day everyday for a month and my acne has completely healed, now I take it only once a day. I went off of it for about 3 days and only gained back 1 large pimple, but as soon as I went back on the medication the pimple quickly disappeared. I'd say this is better than any face care products I've ever used. Much worth it!"


"I have been on Campral about 10 days and this drug does work..really work..zero cravings.  I was drinking a liter of Vodka a day. I was in rehabs from August 2015 to February 2016 (and relapsed when I got out) and not one of the psychiatrist at the rehabs mentioned Campral.The reason they don't is because they know it works and just want to take your money to pay for the rehab because if you don't they are out of a job. Save your money on rehabs and ask your doc for Campral instead.  I am 43 years old and have been an alcoholic a majority of my adult life. I feel like I have my life back and everyone sees a change in me and best of all I do too!  The only thing I don't like is that I didn't know about this drug years ago,but glad i do now."


"I stopped smoking with Chantix six months ago and I took it for three months. Chantix is a help not a miracle, but it will help you to quit smoking. You will still experience some mild cravings, but they are not intense at all. I reduced those with stop smoking subliminal sessions you could find in youtube. Chantix was covered 100 % by my health insurance, thanks for that and thanks to Pfizer. Side effects are not bad compared to smoking. Dreams were vivid and I enjoyed them. I do advice if you can't stand the side effects, reduce the dose or do a liver detox before taking the pill. Unless you are allergic (rash), if that your case you might need to wait for Pfizer to come with another drug. I hope you quit smoking like I did. Best luck."


"I've taken this before and was very pleased. I started again yesterday. I'm 195 now and my goal is 165lbs."


"I just started the patch and I take it with vitamins. Maybe trying this way is more successful."


"I have been on this for 6 months. The first 3 months I was bleeding heavily and had very painful cramps (also, I had a cyst on my ovary that had ruptured). I absolutely hated it but my Dr. "assured" me that it will take 3-4 months for my body to get used to the birth control and I took her word for it. My next set was amazing! I didn't bleed until my sugar pills but that leads me off to today. I was supposed to be off Thursday and it's Sunday. I am still bleeding heavy and I definitely do not want to bleed again for 3 months. Terrible experience, read reviews before getting on any birth control!"


"At half-way through my third pack, I have been bleeding heavily for a week (compared to the first day of a regular period, but ongoing and with cramping). This is on top of having spotted nearly continuously since I started these pills two and a half months ago. I was going to hang in there to see if these reactions subsided after the third pack, but I am thinking now that I need to get off of them. I have also noticed mild weight gain as well. "

"I've been on Trinessa for 9 months now, and will be starting Aviane this coming week. Trinessa worked wonders for me for several months. My skin was clear, mood was normal, periods weren't bad. Then, I developed a lump in my breast. I saw my doctor, who sent me to get a breast ultrasound. The ultrasound showed only normal breast tissue, but I had pain and tenderness for a long time. Later, I began having a pain on the right side of my pelvis. When it hurt I could even feel a rigid lump looming over the pain. I got both the pelvic and transvaginal ultrasounds and they showed no cysts or abnormal tissue. Total, I spent $1000 to get ultrasounds that have done nothing. Finally, I am getting off this pill. Hopefully that resolves my pain."


"I have now had my implant for a year and a half (or just over) I didn't think I had any problems with it. I only get my periods every few months for a couple of days, until recently, the past couple of months I have completely lost all interest what so ever in sex, its causing so many different problems in my relationship, however this is my only problem!!"


"I'm 18 years old, I have no children, and I'm not sexually active.  Ever since I was 11 I've had extensive issues with my period.  After trying a number of different methods that didn't work to control the bleeding and pain, my doctor suggested mirena.  I had it inserted under general anesthetic, the first few days I was crampy but the cramps were nothing compared to the accidental rip from the speculum (ouch!).  I started bleeding immediately after insertion, and in 3 months it still hasn't stopped.  It's gone down to a back and forth between light to medium bleeding and spotting.  I can usually get by with a thick pantyliner.  I've had some awful cramps while ovulating and on heavier days. Helpful with lessening blood loss, not cramps."


"I noticed a difference from the first time I began taking it. I had fewer seizures, and as the dose was increased, and Zonisamide removed from my system, my seizure-control improved. I'm now on one pill if Vimpat, twice a day and seizure-free for two years. Thank you for having the God-given wisdom to use the knowledge you received to make this medicine. It has changed my life."


"Worked on my infection. The side effects are pretty gnarly though which is why I'm only giving it 7 stars. Some people will get them worse than others. I had discolored urine, bloating and constipation. Also had horrible, horrible metallic taste in mouth which was the worst part. Nausea would fluctuate. Some days it was bad others not so much. May have trouble eating at first. Take it with a meal and it helps a lot. Usually I'd eat half a meal, take the pill and finish."


"Don't take this drug.  I used it for a few months and it killed my libido.  I did get some noticeable hair re-growth during that time, so at least that worked.  It became very hard to get an erection and I became completely disinterested in sex.

I've read accounts that some people never regained their libido, and suffered lasting erectile dysfunction.

This is not natural.  Your libido is part of who you are, and so is hair loss.  Be a man and accept the loss of your hair as part of who you were meant to be."

"I was taking this for about a year. At first it was really good, no side effects except headaches that went away after about a month. My periods were very light only lasting about 3 days and hardly any cramping. Another plus was while I was on it, I had hardly any acne whatsoever. After a couple of months I realized I was gaining weight. I used to be 112-114lbs and now I was 124-126lbs. I went to a size 9 when I was a size 5. I stopped taking them and now I'm back down to 110-112lbs, and size 5 again. I would recommend it, worked good with me, but I'm not going back on them because I'm not going to gain that weight back!"


"Doctor prescribed me Prozac & asked that I attend group therapy to help any underlying issues. My depression came out in the form of anger - EVERYTHING annoyed me for no reason.

At first, I felt no different taking the medication. After a few months, my brother was the person to realize that it was working. He pointed out that we had been getting along & very little seemed to annoy me anymore.

Side effects: I was in a haze. For example: I would be driving and could completely miss the street I was suppose to turn on to & wouldn't realize it until 3 miles later. Most people describe themselves as a zombie in this haze.

With Prozac & therapy, I was on Prozac for about a year."


"25 year old - I have low testosterone (hormone problems run in family). I have a crazy sexy wife but I can't even "finish" and go limp mid session, but with this I finished and then continued to please her. "


"I was taken off of ativan 1mg x3 per day and switched to klonopin. This drug made me ache all over and my joints, had crying bouts and sever depression with very dark thoughts. I finally got switched back. I hate this drug. Made me want to sleep all the time as well zero energy and aggressive."


"I hated this birth control due to the lack of libido, vaginal dryness (during sex), and PERSISTENT YEAST INFECTIONS. The pill also caused me to feel slightly depressed. I gave it 2 stars because it did make my skin look AMAZING! I used the pill for six months and after six months with yeast infections I got off of it.  I could not have sex with a yeast infection so the pill became essentially useless. All side effects ceased as soon as stopping this pill."


"I waS diagnosed with acute hepatitis Jan 1, 2006 and was told I needed a liver transplant as soon as possible. Started Imuran shortly thereafter - no response - MELD climbed to 35. Went on Cellcept and liver enzymes, etc returned to normal range.  Now on Prednisone and Cellcept after a minor enzyme spike - enzymes now normal. I STILL HAVE MY OWN LIVER."


"Hey guys! So I'm currently on my 2nd month of Accutane and I'm taking 40mg a day, and I have to say I'm quite impressed. I'm 15 and been dealing with mild but persistent cystic acne since I was 11, and I still have a few white heads and 4 cysts that I'm waiting for them to dry up, but ; I have noticed that my nose that was once covered in blackheads is clear!! The side effects are annoying but bearable. (dry skin, dry lips, joint pains, dry hair) It's going to get worse before it its better, trust me. If you're dealing with cystic acne I definitely recommend this miracle pill."


"I have been on Yaz for a couple months. I decided to switch to Yaz to gain weight and clear up my mild acne. Overall I have had a positive experience with it. In the beginning, my periods lasted only a couple days, but now, I have no period at all. Also, my face is clear, but I did not gain weight from the pill. The weight I have gained was from muscle weight from working out. I'd say the only negative were my massive headaches when I did have my period. The headaches would come on my first day of my period. But now, with no period, I have no headache!"


"It works better than Suboxone, Methadone and all others."


"Wonderful,  it start working the first day. Not feeling palpitations light now, blood pressure perfect anxiety almost gone and it hasn't been a week. This drug is  great"


"I didn't realize how much this was a great product until I stopped using it.  The only reason I stopped it because it is no longer covered by my insurance.  I didn't want something that was a traditional HRT.  I just wanted something for atrophy, my my doctor suggested Estring. Wonderfully, Estring helped me with my hot flashes, insomnia, irritability, emotional roller coaster, AND atrophy.  I just wish it didn't cost so much."


"I had it inserted following the birth of my youngest son in June 2012. There was no pain but I was cramps all the next day as my doctor indicated when he recommended it to me. I haven't had any side effects over the past three years and I have had a period since August of 2012-- however my doctor told me this is not always the case and I was one of the lucky ones. I absolutely love it and will definitely have it placed again in two years when it's time."


"I took  Harvonie last year.  This drug was great and did not have it so far little over 6 months.  I have cirrhosis of the liver but no hep C.  The hep c is all gone"


"I was put on this after having a very bad panic attack that sent me to the hospital. I have been on it for about a month or so now at 15mg a day two times a day. I think the absolute worst thing for me is the "brain zaps" and the dizziness. Sometimes it feels like the Buspar isn't working and I have to take some ativan to calm me down- especially in public.  However, the anxiety has decreased for me substantially when it comes to being home alone (which used to be a huge source of anxiety for me); now if I can just get rid of the dizziness and the brain zaps."


"Started Celexa 10mg beginning of January for stress and anxiety. Went to 20mg in February. This medicine is truly great. I never really had all the side effects. I can truly say I feel 100 percent normal now. No more anxiety or panic attacks. I feel like a normal person again. Probably be on them forever but if I feel great then who cares. "


"Give the pill a chance. After taking it for a week, or even a few months, you simply cannot judge how it will effect you. I have been on this pill for about a year, and at first, I hated it. It made me nauseous, my boobs hurt, and all that, but after a while that disappeared. Only a few things have remained annoying about this medicine like irritability, cramps, and tiredness while menstruating, but isn't that what happens anyway? I have had no weight change, no headaches, no pimples, no change in sex drive, and nothing else! Plus, the most important thing is that I have not gotten pregnant. 9/10"


"I got Contrave and shelled out $99.00 for it. I took it the first day and experienced depressions and flu like symptoms plus I had insomnia. I took it the second day, thinking it would get better. Well that was a huge mistake. I felt like my body was freezing and then on fire. I could not function whatsoever. I was at work and had to be driven home by my co workers. I wanted to jump out of my co workers van! I could not concentrate or sit still. I also experienced diarrhea like never before!!! I have never gone through withdrawals symptoms like this before but I am never taking this rubbish again!"


"I have always had a debilitating fear of public speaking, to the point I would worry months before I knew I was giving a presentation. In my line of work, it is an important skill to be able to give oral presentations and I knew it was something I would have to fix. My doctor prescribed me propranolol. I was reluctant, but after reading others reviews, I gave it a shot. It honestly is the BEST thing my doctor could have prescribed me. I am able to give a presentation without shaking and actually feel at ease. I hope over time as my confidence builds, I will be able to deliver a speech without it."


"I have been on Dexilant for a month now and no relief at all. I have not been given a diagnosis yet as I am still having tests. I have severe chest and throat discomfort and burp constantly . I feel terrible and am worried the acid is damaging my esophagus. ."


"Thought I'd post an update. I've now had the Paragard for 9 months. After the insertion in May, I didn't get my period for 2 months but I'm sure that was my body adjusting to no more hormones. Now that it's pretty regular, it lasts between 5-6 days and the most surprising thing is I have no cramps at all. In fact, my cramps and PMS were worse when I was on the pill. I would definitely recommend the Paragard!"


"I was very happy with "Betaloc CR 190 " and then they put me on ATF Metoprolol CR 190 and it is crap because if I take 1 in the morning it only lasts about 10 to 13 hours and I end up with A/Fib at night . I never ever had this trouble with Betaloc CR190"


"The first month on Sprintec was really difficult to get through. I was extremely emotional with bloating and mood swings. After the third month things got a lot easier. My breakouts have decreased a ton besides a few before my period. Period is a lot shorter than it ever used to be which is great! Unfortunately this made my cramps worse the week before my period but other than that it's been great!"


"Had severe infection and fever the meds helped me , I had become resistant to azi , was given 1000mg with steroids to get me back on feet , hiccups followed for 6 days"


"I've been on it from 29 till now (42).  I've experienced 0 negative side effects.  My doc monitors my liver functions annually.  Family noticed improvement.  I believe over time I mainly have maintained the hair I had and haven't gotten much balder, unlike other men on both sides of my family who are either completely bald or much thinner.  It is much cheaper to buy the 5mg pill and cut it in 4ths."


"I started taking Bactrim twice a day everyday for a month and my acne has completely healed, now I take it only once a day. I went off of it for about 3 days and only gained back 1 large pimple, but as soon as I went back on the medication the pimple quickly disappeared. I'd say this is better than any face care products I've ever used. Much worth it!"


"It's great."


"I have been on it for a little over 1 year.My crohns is better but I now have Severe Liver disease.I had a ct scan 10 months ago with mild fatty liver.A recent ct scan revealed Severe Liver disease.I am so annoyed! Be sure to ask questions and do your research.I would have rather lived with crohns than with a ruined liver!"


"Linzess is a savior for me.  I took it for a year(low dose) every 4- 5 days.   I then began taking it every day.  It stopped working for a month.    I took some laxatives and then I re started Linzess  and only took it ,once again, for every 4 or 5 days. Once a day wasn't natural for me because I  had chronic constipation since I was a child.  .  When I started taking it every 4th or 5th day it started working again..

The only problem with this drug is that  it isn't consistent in it's effects so, to be safe,  I stay around a bathroom all day and wear an adult diaper if I plan to be out for a few hours."


"I'm 34 yrs old I've been on this pill for a little over 4 mo. I've never had really bad acne my entire life just the occasional zits here and there. I guess you could say I was lucky. When I started this pill I completely broke out on my forehead and still have tiny little pimples that will not go away. I also didn't realize it until now but, I've also had mood swings. I literally cry at the drop of a dime. Lastly, I also never really gained weight while I was on birth control again I guess I was lucky but, I've definitely put on some LB's.

The ONLY thing that I like is my breasts are big and perky...."


"I have been on and off gabapentin and after 15 months off being back on 300 mg once at night has worked great. it is nice seeing others who agree"


"I am 31 years old and have been on Medication for ADHD since I was 7yrs old. This medication is by far the best one I been on. I took me about a week to adjust to the medication and not be a little extra sleepy. It helps me to calm my VERY active mind, control my (easy) temper , and helps me to focus much easier. Overall I am very happy with medication."


"Took care of the pain, but made it hard to stay awake!"


"Heavy bleeding and intense cramping were my primary concerns for starting birth control and since I still bled heavy on my first pill I was switched to Yaz. The good is that the mild acne I did have is now non-existent, no more cramps, and my cycle is the lightest it's ever been. I can actually *want* to do more than stay in bed during my cycle. The bad is the random spotting. Theoretically it's caused by not taking the pill at the same time everyday but I keep a pretty tight schedule so it sucks. The mood swings are also discouraging.  I feel myself getting mad or either sad about literally anything more often now. I've also picked up about 10 lbs despite the same eating habits and activity level."


"I've been on fluoxetine 10 mg  for  a week . I get panic attacks . My doctor first gave me lexapro I felt so sick with flu like symptoms. He changed me to prozac so far the symptoms are a lot lighter . My problem is I'm still having to to take xanex to stop the shaking . The doctor prescribed me 1.0 of xanex twice a day I spread it out cause it just makes me sleep . I don't want to just exist - I want to live . I hoping to see changes soon"


"Had the series of injections years ago.  Didn't help at all.  Ended up with knee replacement.  Now other knee is going and WITH insurance, injection of SynviscOne costs over $130 (co-pay) + $30 co-pay for visit.  I'm not having it done unless I get a guarantee that it will work.  RIP-OFF for the cost and a RIP-OFF that insurance doesn't provide better coverage."


"From the first month until 6 month that I took the pills I have experienced the worst migraine ever.  The migraines were so horrible it make me throw up every time. These migraines will last up to three days if I'm lucky if I'm not lucky it will last up to a whole week. It took my four months to realize it was the pills because I was so sick from the pills I stop taking it for a week. After that my migraine went away and came back right away after taking it.  I just stop taking the pills after that and switched over. However ever since taking the sprintec I will occasionally get the same sickening migraine but it will be one day of the month now.  It has been six months since and I am still having migraines due to taking the sprintec."


"Haven’t even had it on for a full month, but it’s not to bad. The first week I put it on my hip bone/ pelvic area. Had no problems other than very little cramping here and there. Although I do get moody some days, other days I’m fine. It’s hit and miss. So that kinda sucks for my bf cuz I feel bad for snapping at him. But The second week I put it on my butt right before bed. The next day I was EXTREMELY nauseous and got the worst migraine ever and even felt feverish. I moved it back to my hip, but on the opposite side as before and the symptoms went away after a few hours. Yay! I would recommend maybe staying away from meaty parts of the body. I think it might absorb it a lot more, is. But I’ve heard from other moms that said the same thing"


"I used it one time. And I feel better"


"Quick background, I started on the pill, then went to the ring, and finally stopped BC all together, and then wanted something non-hormonal. The insertion itself wasn't too painful, but afterwards for a good 12 hours I experienced what felt like severe cramps and I unfortunately had to go through it twice. The 1st time the IUD slipped out. After a year of being on it, the negatives: before my period only lasted about 3 days, but now it lasts 5-7 days and it's crazy heavy, my boyfriend can feel the string sometimes during intercourse, I had BV 3 times, and down there went from smelling like water to smelling like a penny :-( . The positive: I don't have to worry about getting pregnant. Thinking of having it removed, though :-/"


"This is my first month of using this birth control I haven't had a period yet. I'm broke out in bad acne having mood swings and depression, which I don't like. I stay angry at everybody. I'm on my last week of the pill I'll never take this pill again."


"The stuff works pretty well for my arthritic joint pain. I asked my doctor for the lowest possible dose (50 mg) and combined with parecetemol (acetaminophen) and codeine you get a synergistic effect so I can get by with a relatively low dose. When I got the prescription filled and the pharmacist said, ‘maximum of eight per day’ I said incredulously, ‘Eight did you say eight?’ because I couldn’t believe I’d heard her right and the pharmacist smiled and said, ‘you’d be surprised at the number of people that take eight per day’. Clearly there are a lot of people abusing this drug."


"I had vivid dream on Depakote. (I normally don't have dreams)."


"Today is my first day and so far I have eaten one low fat yoghurt, two apples and a big salad with lettuce, cucumber, sprouts, 1 egg, bit of feta and half a tin of tuna with a little bit of homemade dressing..yummy. If I can keep this up I will be over the moon."


"I had been taking methotrexate for almost a year with moderate results. My skin cleared almost 80%, and my joints improved approximately 60%, however each time I took my medication I felt really ill for 48 hours afterwards. It was depressing. Anyway my Rheumatologist recommended Simponi. Having read the side effects, etc. I was a little apprehensive about taking Simponi, but after meeting with the Simponi nurse I decided to go with it. After two shots (2 months) I felt a big difference, my joints were no longer stiff and I was almost pain free. After the fourth shot my skin has cleared to 95% and I have no stiffness in my joints. It really is working for me."


"I have been taking citalopram for about 4 months now and WOW what a difference it has made! I was starting to get really depressed and I have always struggled with social anxiety and never really knew always thought I was just shy (I was very shy as a child)  I started taking this and within weeks I felt like a different person. I no longer get really nervous when talking to management at work. I let so many people in the past intimidate me. My husband has a lot of friends that I have not really taken the time to get to know just because I felt I was not as good as them and they were always judging me I felt uncomfortable around them. Now I have a great time with them. I wish I would have had this when I was in school would have changed my life!"


"I have been dealing with mental health issues since I was about 19yr.s old and am 45 now. I have been on numerous medication, too many to count and I started taking latuda about 3 weeks ago. I also take trileptal, lamictal, litium, and prozac, and vyvance, and I can't begin to tell u how much better I feel. It just amazes me. I haven't snapped at anyone in a couple of weeks, my mood is the most stable its been in 20yrs. I actually like to be around people again. I'm not full of hate and anger. I have dealt with some serious nausea, vomiting, and headaches so it is very important to eat at least the recommended amount of calories, and its much better if I take it at night. I am very grateful I was willing to try latuda. Thank u."


"This worked well for me. I had what felt like a pretty bad cold....headache, nasal and chest congestion and generally run down feeling. Stayed in bed the first day and on the second I took the prescribed dose of Mucinex D - 2 tablets at 7:30 pm.

I didn't experience the insomnia others spoke of, but maybe my perspective is different, because I KNOW that if I hadn't taken it I'd be up blowing my nose and coughing all night. Yes, I did wake up a few times more than usual, but I wasn't miserable when I did."


"Extremely dry skin and my acne has cleared up but I get at least 3 big pimples a week."


"My Son was diagnosed with ADHD when he was 4 years old he Is now 7 before finding Focalin his doctor started him on Ritalin he was only on it for 3 days because it made him zombified and depressive with many mood swings then he started Vyvanse for a few weeks but it gave him some kind of allergic reaction in his throat.  Finally  he was put on Focalin 10ml and for the last 3 years it has been doing him great. He does awesome in school and also at home he can focus and he is happy. The only bad part is he has absolutely no appetite from 10 min after he takes the pill- 6hrs later. He  drinks cyproheptad syrup 2mg to help boost his appetite while on the Focalin."


"Been on pills 2 years the complete rat race of another pill and my days and weeks had to be planned accordingly to my stock of pills.   You know the drill.  Finally  I decided I'm not going to live like this anymore.  Jail, death or suboxone - I chose suboxone.
I waited the required time, I actually waited longer about 38 hours
the first 15 min withdrawal gone I was actually very disappointed I thought I would feel a lot better.  But after an hour and then 2 hours I felt like I had never had a pain pill in my life. It was the real me again I felt totally normal!!!! WOW
I could think clearly and had a great outlook on life
If you are considering this drug DO IT!!! It's legal and you will begin to get your life back DO IT!!!!!"


"As a alternative to methadone this wins hands down. No severe withdrawals and minimum side effects if you are lookin to do opiate withdrawal this has got to be a serious contender. Good luck all."


"Just some of my background so some of you can relate: I'm 115lbs, 23 years old, in my third month of taking Try Cyclen which is the first BC I ever went on. So far thank God no pregnancies, although increased amount of discharge and I got a vaginal infection which I never had before and that was strange. At first I gained weight and my breasts went up a size which was great but now I'm back to loosing a lot of weight. Yes mood swings have increased but I was always emotional and thought of myself as someone with depression lol so you guys really have to be careful about what is really considered to be called depression. Periods have stayed the same, just a little bit more regulated which is also a plus. So far no drastic changes."


"Background:

Over the last 5 years since I was pregnant, I gained 50 pounds and have only been successful at losing 20, after not getting past 150, I gave up and gained back the 20 I lost. Since then I have still put in attempts. I talked to my doctor about it yesterday and he decided to prescribe me this medication for obesity.

By the way, I am a female just under 5'2" and I weighed up to 177 last year. Since last year I bounce back and forth between 176 and 172.

Yesterday I weighed myself and I am starting this journey at 172.

Today is Day 1:

So far I feel sooo energized instead of my usual sluggish feel and I LOVE it! I have been so productive today and have done many tasks. So far so good!! I will be back to review more in the future!"


"I have been on Contrave for two months and two weeks and lost 20 lbs. Of equal value is that my HbA1c is down to 6.5. Most of the side effects have abated in about six weeks. The only lingering side effect is night time hypoglycemia. I would recomend at least a trial of six weeks, do not evaluate side effects after only a week or two."


"I have been having do really bad heartburn and was so excited to get the new nexium clear minis to try out ! I have been using them for 7 days and already so a huge difference!! I'm not waking up all night to heartburn!"


"I've been on Effexor XR for several years now.  As far as helping to control my depression, it has been wonderful.  However, I have had some severe side effects.  I have gained 80 lbs since I started taking the medication.  I have been diagnosed with benign vertigo.  I have had countless specialists poke and prod me because no one can figure out why I get a sinus infection every month.  I stopped getting menstrual cycles, and specialists can't figure out why.  These are all possible side effects"


"I just had the copper T inserted yesterday. This is the 2nd time I've had it. The first time I had it I did not feel any pain with insertion, only cramps afterwards. My periods were on and off all month, so decided to remove. Now for yesterdays insertion, I did have a lot of pain with insertion, although it only took a few seconds, but it did hurt! After the procedure, I did not have and still have not had any cramps... only some brown discharge (but very minimal). The only thing that worries me, is that I feel very sore down there. Is it normal? I've never experienced this. When I do anything that causes for me to use strength, I feel as though I get a lot of pressure down there. I'm just gonna wait and see how it goes. NO hormones or pills is a plus"


"After about 50 days of taking Chantix, I am now 9 months smoke free. It is really nice not having to worry about my next smoke. I feel so much better. Thank you so much for making it possible to quit. I smoked for 26 years it is such a great feeling to be smoke free. I still find it hard to believe."


"After four days of taking this, Diarrhea was so bad I had to stop taking it."


"I will never take this again! I took 2 of the Dulcolax Pink intended for women and sensitive stomachs at 8pm. By 4am I had diarrhea and SEVERE cramping, I felt like I was being kicked in the stomach repeatedly. My S/O was about to take me to the hospital but I convinced him to try and let me deep breathe through it. It's now 8am and I'm still in crazy amounts of pain. Sitting on the pot as I write this review, would not recommend."


"I took the lowest dose 10mg. The first two days were great I had zero anxiety and felt okay with no side effects but slight lightheadedness. The third day... I was putting on my make up just before work and all of the sudden my pupils got huge and my heart started beating a mile a minute. This calmed down but happened again five minutes later. It started happening every 3-5 minutes and then my chest, feet, and armpits started burning. I started having a panic attack because I was so afraid of what was happening. I couldn't see right anymore and I was very dizzy. On the way to the hospital I thought I was going to die. My side effects were so severe. This happened for two days after. Doc flushed it out of my system. Beware of this medication"


"I've been on Saxenda for a little over a month. I'm at the full dose and absolutely ZERO side effects. I lost 12 pounds in a month and super happy! I will say I have modified my diet a bit and get some sort of workout in 5-6 days a week."


"This is by far the most effective antidepressant I have EVER taken. I have tried Prozac, Zoloft, and Celexa which all caused numerous unwanted side effects. I have been on Effexor XR for a month and in the beginning the only side effect I experienced was being sleepy. This went away after about a week. I can tell you after just one week my mood lifted and I have zero anxiety. Thank you Effexor XR."


"A couple of years ago my husband was at the point where he was limping severely, with swollen joints in his hands and feet. He was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and began taking methotrexate at 20 mg once a week; he has since cut back to 17.5 mg. It has made a huge difference in his functioning, and he's pretty much back to normal. (Regular strength training at the YMCA has also helped a lot). He was also told to take folic acid once a day, which he does. The only negative is that his hair has thinned quite a bit, which is a common side effect. He is in his 70s."


"My advice would be to work with your doctor to find the appropriate dosage strength for your needs and also experiment with how often you take it (ie once in the morning for all day relief, or one cap in the morning and then another at midday). I also recommend to each this with high fat food. I've been told cottage cheese or yogurt helps. I think once you figured out the best way to take this drug, it works -- it certainly did for me. Be patient."


"I'm just simply amazed and I hope this continues to work. I've only taken 2 doses of yaz and I went from constantly struggling with physical and emotional symptoms of pmdd and overall hormonal imbalancement to feeling much more at peace with myself. I feel lite and my body feels calm. I had anxiety, anger, I was hyper sensitive and so negative- I felt it physically. I would physically shake from anger. I could feel my uterus contract and cramp up when I got hurt and was angry. My pmdd had started early just 3 days ago when my breasts just felt so heavy with cysts that were so painful - it hurt to just get out of bed. I could sleep all day. I was cranky and could not stand being touched by my BF. Constipation and lots of gas as well."


"after the birth of my second child and moving states away due to husbands job change I had HORRIBLE anxiety, what I thought was ONLY anxiety. I wouldn't leave the house for weeks on end. Finally 6 months later my husband and I agreed that I needed to seek help, being on medication was not something that I wanted, but something that I may need. At my first appointment I was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety. I was started in 37.5mg of Effexor and .5mg Klonopin! I'll admit! The first week ish, was hell, as it should be... For anyone to take a new medication to treat this type of issue its going to be tough. After those couple weeks I noticed a good change. Then it leveled out and I now take 75mg, this medication Is working so well!"


"This product works so well. I have been using it everyday for 2 Weeks now and have no acne anymore. Its amazing. I love it. I highly recommend this product. I'd buy even without my insurance covering it, its that good!"


"My 11 yr old had 102 temp for 2 days,  achy all over.  Day 3 104. Went to clinic. Negative for flu and strep and white count normal. Advised to push fluids and treat fever. Day 4 temp 105. Went back to clinic.  Urinary Analysis  shows raging UTI and now she's really dehydrated. Had 2 options, shot of rocephin, push fluids and start oral antibiotics but if not better by morning she'd be admitted to hospital.  Or just admit her right then.  We went with the shot. Within an hour I saw vast improvements. Fever has not been above 100.5, pain is better, drinking better and even managed to eat a little bit and work on 4 days of homework! Would definitely recommend rocephin!"

"Well I got my Mirena on new years eve, it wasn't that painful (I'm 18 never had kids) and I did it because the implant wasn't working for me. I don't regret my decision however, insertion was uncomfortable but nothing to worry about, the only issue for has been the heavy bleeding I'm still getting, which isn't nice. However it has removed the majority of the pain I was in, I just wish the bleeding would stop. Overall I find it a lot better than some other forms of contraception and you can barely feel the strings anymore."


"Experimental drug, they say it MAY slow progression. For most it makes symptoms WORSE. Your doctor will not listen to you. Because they need to keep experimenting.... on your loved ones.  My mother went from mild symptoms to a complete shut-down actually unable to function. The doctors solution was to double the dosage. Also the DRUG store wants to fill the script 5 to 7 days early EVERY month. This makes 14 months worth a year so you end up throwing pills away. Doesn't take much insight to see whats going on. Fix this and fix Americas health care sky rocketing costs. Doctors have become drug reps and politicians. Pretty arrogant. I couldn't even have a conversation with the doctor about this drug, I knew more than him after 15 min of research."


"Victoza is a wonder medicine. I've been on it for two weeks, and have lost about ten pounds. (With many more to go!) I am rarely hungry at all anymore, and when I am hungry, it doesn't take much food at all to make me feel full. In between meals, I sometimes get a slight stomachache, but I much prefer that to feeling ravenously hungry all the time. Victoza also seems to be controlling my blood sugar in conjunction with Glumetza and Lantus. I've been able to stop Novolog, and hope to decrease or eliminate the Lantus. I hope it continues to work so well for me."


"Immediate relief. Seems to be very long acting ... I was prescribed Rapaflo 8mg once daily but seem to need once WEEKY .... I quickly know that once urine flow becomes a problem ...it's time to take the medication."


"Still in pain."


"In was prescribed Nuvaring because I wasn't sure if I was ready for an IUD yet so my doctor thought Nuvaring would be a good alternative.

The only positive experience I had was putting it in. Easy. Didn't have to think about it anymore. Until about 24 hours later.

All of a sudden a ton of symptoms hit me at once. Complete loss of appetite. Nausea. Vomiting. Pain in my legs. Pain in my abdomen. Headaches. Dizziness. Vision changes.

Turns out, I'm allergic to Nuvaring. I immediately took it out; over a month later and I'm still having some symptoms.

Definitely make sure you read the possible side effects before using the ring, even if you've taken birth control before!"


"I am 24 years old no kids. I don't want kids for a very long time so I am taking control. My doctor was pushing for the mirena says its the best option and gives you light periods or none at all but I refuse to deal with hormones anymore. I pushed for the paraguard because this will be my last try with BC. Have tried pills (the worse ever) , the implant and nuvaring all bad side effects. After reading dramatic reviews from women I expected the worse pain ever. The whole process took maybe 10 minutes and did not hurt me at all my doctor numbed my cervix I did get super high from it but it was so funny my doctor distracted me having me use my phone and I couldn't believe it was over. with a great doctor insertion should NOT hurt."


"My COPD was not getting any easier to live with. I stopped taking one medicine because it seemed to just make things worse. The Dr was not very helpful. But she did say well you can try Spiriva. I waited almost a week to try it.
But when I had some time off from work, I decided it was time to give it a shot.
I felt better quickly, but only for a few hours. I continued using it, and I must say that after 3 weeks, I am feeling much better. I got up this morning and did not even reach for the Albuterol. I am hopeful now and I do recommend this medication.
Side effects have been minor. Dry mouth is the only thing I can link to the medicine. I have started taking Potassium supplements again to overcome the leg cramps which may be a side effect."


"My mum started on Trulicity in November.   She felt nauseous almost from day one, bloated, tender stomach, diarrhoea,  gassy.  In mid February she went into A&E, then into intensive care with severe dehydration.  On March 6th, after 4 days back home, she died from acute pancreatitis.  I only found out cause of death today but already believed Trulicity to be the underlying cause."


"While this pill was effective for me in that I did not get pregnant, my experience with Minastrin was poor to say the least. I had spotting between every single period that usually lasted around 7 days, sometimes more.  My periods were very heavy for days one and two with some of the worst cramps I've ever had.

My breasts were in near constant pain but on the bright side stayed the same size when I lost 10lbs during my time on the pill.

I've recently switched to a higher dose of hormones which my doctor said should stop the spotting. Good luck, ladies!"


"I started 3 days ago and was very worried about the injection but seriously you don’t feel it. I had no nausea or other side effects and it’s controlling my appetite. I do injections at night because I read reviews first and so far it’s working great for me. My insurance covers it my copay is $30 and well worth it."


"Works great to get and keep you asleep."


"I am currently laid in a ball In absolute agony after stopping the depo 2 weeks ago. I started it in October 2015 and the first 9 months were fabulous. On approaching my 4th injection I started bleeding, nothing major but it was constant and I have been like this for the last year. I have maybe 4 days a month of not bleeding. GP has put it down to stress. I have put on 2 stone since starting it, contrary to GP's belief that I am eating too much and not exercising enough and I feel utterly miserable...

However,  nothing compares to coming off it... Excruciating and constant headaches that feel like a permanent hangover,  nausea,  extreme hunger, skin so oily that my head is covered in but the bleeding is something else.

Just don't start."


"I took Victoza for a few months and it caused me to have Gastroparesis! Sometimes diabetes meds can cause gastroparesis but my doctors were doubly sure it was the Victoza that did it!! I hope nobody else gets this!!! Now I have something else I have to live with the rest of my life!!"


"This was the third medication I tried for my depression and anxiety. I'm not going to lie, the entire time I was on it I felt like I was on Ecstasy 24/7. Everything was rainbows and sunshine and I felt so euphoric and amazing and warm and fuzzy. However, I had the nastiest headaches constantly, and they came on as soon as I'd take the meds. Almost the entire time I felt so nauseous and I had migraines and it didn't let up. I switched at my monthly appointment because the headaches made the euphoria not worth it."


"Really liked how Enteragam affected my digestion from the beginning. I had been on a very restrictive diet due to food intolerances, and after taking Enteragam for only a couple of days I already could add new foods to my diet. It also helped me with bloating and stomach cramps. Great product!"
