"I went in to have my Skyla placed yesterday morning. After reading all of these reviews I was hyperventilating and crying on my way there, bc I did not want to experience "the worst pain of my life". However, it was a complete waste of tears and energy. Before the procedure, I started doing heavy breathing, similar to pregnancy breaths, bc I was so nervous and I can tell you I felt NOTHING. There was a little bit of pressure, but nothing compared to what I've read on here. Probably a 2/10. It was over in 30 seconds, and as soon as she was done, the pressure vanished. I was shocked. I went to work from 5:45-11:30, & I managed with mild cramping.I cant speak for long term yet, but don't let other women scare you out of this, its very worth it!"


"This is the best birth control I have had. I have done the pills, Depo, Yaz. Now I got the Implanon from May 14 of 2008 and have it still. I get periods every month, no craziness, sex drive has increased. I am actually scheduled to get it out next month and have no insurance. "


"I take Hizentra once per week and I have not had any infections, sickness or

Any other problems. The prep is very easy and afterwards just a few lumps that

Slowly disappears after a few hours. Once a week at home and after 2 years

With no infections it has been great."


"Dry mouth is a side effect that is most unpleasant"


"Did not resolve polycystic ovarian syndrome completely, but did improve quality of life by treating my subclinical insulin resistance. Metformin extended release 1000mg/day."


"I read comments here about MOM taking it too far in the reverse. The directions and some patience are very important factors. My mother is 101 so we are very careful.  After many years of chronic constipation and emergency room visits where even the ER couldn't easily help, we learned MOM taken correctly gives gentle relief over the course of a day or so. Our doctor explained MOM pulls moisture into the bowel to give relief, so it makes sense people are giving themselves the reverse problem by being too much in a hurry. Can't say enough about this rediscovered old friend. It is the most natural choice."


"I have been on Effexor XR 150 mg for 20 years it certainly has help with my suicidal thoughts and panic attacks. I also take 2 x 1mg of Xanax. I started seeing a new primary care doctor yesterday who thinks I should be taken off both since I have been on it for so long but I have read some awful things about the withdrawal problems and it makes me scared.
"


"Loestrin Fe did a lot better than the 'Lo Loestrin Fe'. I only got this prescription because my insurance covers it and it's similar to what I was taking before-just less hormones. (They apparently discontinued the birth control I used to take).  Since I've been on this one, I've been a little moodier, more acne, breast tenderness and cramping without periods.  I've lost weight and my cup/bra size actually got smaller.  Honestly, it's starting to freak me out a bit because I haven't been this tender with a birth control, only while pregnant with my two children.  I take it as it's prescribed-same time, every day, never skipping a dose.  Hitting my 3rd month on it, no periods or spotting at all."


"I applied before bed instant burning and stinging like I got bit by fire ants in my vaginia I could only take it for 1 minute before I realized I couldn't take it anymore I jumped in the shower and washed out as much as possible applied some wheat grass lotion to my outer labia took some Tylenol and after a few hours went to bed, woke up with a perfectly healed labia but the inside of my vaginia was swollen and full of red hurtful bumps as well as painful to pee at first, I cried on my way to work and thought omg this is the worst pain ever I have the worst yeast infection ever, day went on and pain subsided, night two same thing that's when I looked online and realized it's the product, I'm throwing this torture cream out!"


"Day 4, taking 1/2 tablet of the 37.5mg. Decreased appetite, more energy, some dry mouth here and there. I've noticed at some times a decrease in concentration, like a foggy feeling. Nothing too bad, but a little off my baseline. Haven't weighed since day 1. Hoping to lose 15 lbs this month. I like that I don't feel "cracked out" but I am hesitant to up my dosage yet. I'll keep taking the 1/2 tab until I get really used to it. Once I reach my GW I plan to wean myself off in the same way. Will update.

-BusyBE"


"First of all I am not diabetic.  I have been injecting Victoza for 1 month with "no" loss of appetite.  I started injecting .6mg for 3 weeks and 1.2mg for the past week.  I am 290 lbs. and have been on a weight plateau for over 2 weeks loosing only 1.6 pounds.  At 74 years of age, I'll be over 80 before I reach my goal of 250 lbs.  I am sedentary, eating only 1,400 calories a day.  I know, "eating more to loose more."  It doesn't work for me.

Question: Can Victoza not work for some people because of their metabolism?"


"I recently had my paragard removed after approximately 7 years.  I had a few heavy periods but not a big deal.  I understand that some people have more trouble than others.  However, some people also can handle less than others. I had my child at 37 (at this time I was financially and emotionally able to take care of a child without financial support)  It was an easy birth and I was up, showered and fine within a few hours.  I did raise her on my own...Note to women (and men), If you decide to have a child, know that you may be doing it on your own so do not depend on anybody else ( or taxpayers) to pay for or  your child.
I like this form of birth control as it did not require me to remember pills and no way I could "accidentally"  ;) get pregnant"


"I been taking oxycodone for 2 years. First they put me on morphine, which made me depressed all the time. The Dr would send the PA to talk so I stop going to him and started a new Dr in Staten Island. Hurt on the job, broke my back and had neck shoulder and knee problems from my work accident. I take oxycodone, feel better, much less depressed now and had no side effect with the new medicines. Life charging for me."


"Started on Pristiq after my grandmother and father both died suddenly a few days apart.  Developed "shingles" --rash on my chin.   Doctor said it was from the stress and increased the Pristiq.  Got worse.  Doctor and my friends said it looked like a burn.

Finally reading blogs like this I guessed the Pristiq was causing the rash and burn-like symptoms.

Been off of Pristiq for 16 days and my skin is clear.  My head is better too although I can see the withdrawal will take many more weeks to subside."


"I used to be on Loestrin FE and loved it but the pharmacy switched it to Blisovi and since I've started taking it I'm up 15-20lbs depending on the day.  I work out every day and have a very healthy diet yet no matter what I do the weight won't drop. Being someone who struggled with weight naturally, got to a goal body fat/weight only to have it spike so rapidly is extremely upsetting. Not only is my weight up but my face breaks out all the time and my anxiety as of late has been awful.  I DO NOT recommend this pill."


"I've been on the generic version of Wellbutrin SR 100mg once a day a little over a week. Added to supplement my 20mg Prozac twice a day, and .5 Klonopin twice a day. I've been on the Prozac and Klonopin over a year and it began to be not as effective. I began to feel very depressed along with my anxiety also I've gained about 20lbs so my psychatrist prescribed 100mg Wellbutrin SR once a day in morn to help. So far I've noticed I'm extremely tired about 1 hour after taking, so tired even my strongest cup of coffee can't keep me awake. I know Prozac and Klonopin can have this as a side effect but my body is well adjusted to that now, those side effects are long gone.I've noticed better focus and reduced appetite, so now I will just wait."


"So I have been taking Prozac for a long time but I was always taking naps and tired, I didn’t want to do anything go anywhere. I decided to look into Lexapro reviews some of them really scared me. I thought why not give it a shot one of my cousins takes Lexapro. The doctor switched me from Prozac to Lexapro and I’m going on three weeks I feel so much better I have more energy  I’m not sleeping all the time. I’m noticing more things that make me happy. I did have side effects in the beginning but they were very mild constipation dizziness tingly feelings but those are starting to go away. I’m so glad I try this medication I hope it continues to work for me. The doctor started me on 5 mg and I’m slowly working my way up to 10 mg. Write your reviews because people actually do read them."


"First dose made me sick feeling, nauseous, stomach issues.  Created too many problems, I rather live with anxiety. Wish the drug people would come out with something new, w/o so many bad side effects. I will not take this drug ever.  My anxiety is mild compared to many.  I can function pretty good most of the time. Things are very stressful for me now with a sick husband.

Don't take this drug."


"I love it. I only have to worry about it once every 3 years. I only get my period every 3 to 4 months with minimal cramping although it is a heavy flow. My period only last 4-5 days. I haven't gained weight. I can't think of a single thing "wrong" with it"


Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray (old formulation)

"Coming down with a cold and couldn't breath at night.  I went to the drugstore and looked over hundreds of different products.  A guy came breezing down the aisle, stopped for only a second and grabbed two bottles of this product.  Then Off he went just as fast.    I took that as a sign from the universe.  Thank you God I can breathe again!  I had a full nights sleep and breathed easily without any difficulty whatsoever.
The name on the bottle says "Vicks Sinex Severe" It is a 12 hour nasal spray medication and it worked for literally hours enough for a good nights sleep."


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


"This was my first birth control method and I'm never going back on it ever again. Nuva Ring messed with my emotions to the max. It was always two very different extremes- I felt really really good or freaking awful. And when it was awful, I mean it was awful. I cried over the littlest things and everything and anything made me angry and I couldn't control it. It didn't even make me gain weight but it just made me feel so ugly about myself. My boobs grew which was nice but that doesn't even outweigh all the bad about it."


"Generalized anxiety disorder - 22 year old male.

Paxil did help with my anxiety however, it made things seem more dull. The things I used to enjoy became boring. I stopped taking it after 2 months. I'm now starting Effexor XR. No other side effects."


"Over years have tried several antidepressants.....in my younger years Prozac, zoloft, Paxil, horrible side effects! Now that I am in my fifties I have been dealing  with depression? Menopausal related,stress ,life.....tried natural Sam e  and some others with no results but only side effects....Finally started Wellbutin and finally feeling black cloud lifting with No weird side effects....Hopefully continue and feel like my old self again:)"


"I had Implanon implanted August 2009. It was great until April 2011. I started getting my period not once but twice a month. The second is short. The first is full blown. I am a wreck the week before I start with super sore breasts (felt like I was pregnant) and horrible mood swings. The bleeding is terrible. Plus very unpredictable."


"Effective. No periods at all. Lots of weight gain."


"Before anyone agrees to taking Effexor (venlafaxine), please look at the withdrawl symptoms. The symptoms and experience has been likened to heroin or opiate addiction withdrawl. Please do your research and regardless of what your doctor tells you, THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES!

I hope this helps someone."


"Update-tolerating Votrient 400mg. Last 2 scans status quo. Diarrhea controlled with immodium. Pattern of a couple good weeks followed by fatigue and general awful feeling. Medicinal marijuana has been a godsend for these bad times. Almost like setting a reset button both mentally and physically. Only do it when I feel awful and won't be leaving the house."


"I've used Flonase and the generic with success for hay fever and colds, but using it daily for weeks causes nose bleeds.  I continue to use it short-term."


"I had my Mirena IUD put in 7 weeks ago, and I am loving it. I am 20, never had any children and don't want any for a while. I had it put in by my gyno; they used a local anethesia on my cervix (which was by far the worst part of having it inserted due to my serious fear of needles). The pain of having it inserted was somewhere between extreme discomfort and mildly painful, so overall not near as bad as I had expected. I passed out after the insertion, probably due to my anxiety over the needle, and was in a lot of pain for the rest of the day and threw up twice. The next morning, i felt completely normal. As far as side effects go I have had spotting before and after my period, and a lighter flow than normal. I definitely recommend Mirena!"


"Do not take this medication, its highly addictive and coming off it has caused my daughter to have 3 to 4 seizures a day and she's never had one in her life before cutting back. This drug is evil and should not be prescribed so easily. I myself need to taper off and am terrified of the withdrawals after watching my daughter go through hell. Stay away from benzodiazepams because once you start you cant stop....No warnings are given before you start taking them....evil drugs"


"I started taking Phentermine on 3/21/09 and went in for my weigh in on 3/26/09 and lost 11lbs. I have a weigh in on 4/2/09, will keep you posted. I take the Pure Organic Acai Berry juice with my diet, it only has 3 gms of carbohydrates and 15 calories per 3 oz serving. I take mine at bedtime and it keeps me regular, and make me sleep like a baby."


"I have been taking Lortab 10's for a few years now due to a rollover accident I was involved in. Had neck surgery, which involved placing a metal plate and screws in my neck. Still had severe neck/shoulder/back pain for almost a year after, with the Lortab and Ms Contin I am able to do things I would have never been able to do since I was in so much pain, but like people say here, follow your doctors instructions."


"I am a 67 year old female with no history of UTI until last week. PA prescribed Cipro 250. I can't sleep, I am having horrible heartburn, belching & burning. I have 3 tabs left & will finish taking because has helped the UTI. But I will not take again."


"I'm a 47 year old type 2 diabetic for over 20 years. Have been on most insulin’s after the pills stopped working for me. Then dropped a huge amount of weight so I was taken off all meds. Now gained 45lb and A1C in the 10’s. In the past two years. I’ve tried Januvia, not a lot of side effects but didn’t lower my sugars. So I was put on Invokana. Worked good for maybe two months on lowering my sugars but the side effects were quite bothersome. Especially the longer I was on it. Yeast infections bad. Up at night going to the bathroom because of the way the med works, extremely tired, thirsty,dehydration issues if you don’t drink enough and the recent gas,bloating,constipation issues. I couldn’t get enough carbs with my cravings and wt gain! Off the Med and on to Victoza!"


"After starting this birth control, I experienced mood swings of irritability and anger within taking the first pill, I also experienced severe bloating and bad acne. My milk supply dried up, which I was prescribed this pill to avoid decrease in milk supply. This is a horrible pill with horrible side effects."


"Depression/anxiety. Tried various SSRIs, which gave me terrible night sweats and edginess. Wellbutrin gave me back my appetite for life. I wanted/was motivated to get uo, get out and do things rather than sit around. Also, because you can't/shouldn't drink while taking it, I secondarily lost weight and felt healthier - mentally and physically. Can't think of any negative side effects -  takes a week or two to adjust/calibrate when starting."


"My CNP was very knowledgeable, friendly, and gentle with me. She informed me that there would be, "three large cramps" with this procedure, and she was not kidding.The cramps were the most intense I've ever felt, she said women who've had children compared them to minor contractions. For women, like me, who haven't had children opening your cervix is not pleasant and is very painful. I had to make her stop due to becoming lightheaded. The whole thing was very short, it was over within 5 minutes. I did have to lay on the table since I was prone to fainting. Take ibuprofen an hour before, and don't drive yourself! My cramps have been very severe ever since I got it done 4 hours ago, even on 1,000mg of Ibuprofen, 20mg Tramadol, 100mg Naproxen"


"My 8 yrs/old son started having panic attacks (never had them before!) after taking 1 spray before bed). We discontinued this med but panic attacks are still there after 2 weeks - really scary indeed! Beware of this terrible drug! If someone had those as well please let me know and do you know when they will subside?"


"I started taking Yasmin just over 2 years ago. It was the first kind of "pill" I had ever been on, but prior to taking Yasmin, I had "Implanon" (the match-stick like implant in your arm). The Implanon was one of the worst experiences I've ever had - I was completely mental - manic depressive, anxious, irritable and unable to control my emotions. When I got the Implanon removed, I was a completely different person. A few months later I was given Yasmin. I did notice a bit of weight gain, an increase in desire for food (even when not actually hungry) and became bit of an emotional softy (in a nice way), but on the plus side, my skin became crystal clear and my periods are regular and not heavy, and no "bad" side effects. I recommend it!"


"Allows me to focus, relieves undue anxiety and able to organize my daily tasks more easily and also allows me to more effectively manage my emotions and reactions to unanticipated incidents."


"Ulcer veteran here. Sixteen years ago I had 2 ulcers. Needless to say that's taken care of but I've suffered chronic nausea since. Only recently have I decided the nausea is worse. Doc put me on vistaril 25 x 4. I'm also an anxious person I told the doc. Does nothing for my nausea nor does anything to take the edge off. Ten days so far. I'm seeking help elsewhere."


"Not very strong and didn't really work for me"


"My daughter and son were both prescribed this and it didn't work for either of them.  In fact, they both complained that it gave them a bad headache about an hour after taking it and they are both still coughing all night long.  Our pediatrician said this was just as good as Tussionex but much cheaper.  I'd rather pay $40 co-pay for the Tussionex since I know it works.  No relief for me or my children."


"I started on Saxenda March 11, 2016 I'm 44 5'7 and weighed in at doctor 286 pounds..I had my follow up on March 22 im down to 274 I only had nausea the first day at 0.6 and first day at 1.2 my goal is to get down to 200"


"I've been on Zoloft for 4 years and it's worked great for my depression. I take 50 mg per day."


"I have been using this medicine for a little over 6 months. I have noticed some weight gain, but on the plus side, my acne has cleared up. This pill gives me little to no nausea (all pills make me feel very sick), I have had no headaches, my periods are shorter, lighter, and I do not experience cramps anymore. All in all, I say it's not bad-  I have been on SEVERAL types of pills, this is the best so far (minus the weight gain of course...but if I were to get pregnant, I would gain a lot more weight!)"


"This medicine was started in a hospital setting, but lowered my heart rate so low that the nurses would rush in to my room every 3 minutes because my heart monitor would alert them. My Cardiologist gave me 2 doses, and wanted to administer the 3rd, but I declined. "


"The weight gain was not worth it.  I quit.  My asthma is moderate, not at all severe and my doc put me on Dulera, SIngulair after 5 days of steroids.  Then added Spiriva and now Breo.  Ridiculous.  I quit them all except Breo, which I don't even take every day (because my breathing is not obstructed or difficult)!  But during Dulera and Singluar, I gained FIFTEEN POUNDS in 2 months, which I have never done in my entire life (I'm in my late 40s)."


"As anyone taken Spironolactone for cystic adult acne, and experienced throat spasms called Cricopharyngeal Spasm? It occurred around the same time I was experiencing tightness in the test. I only administered the drug for 4 weeks but the side effects have persisted."


"I recently had a bad cold. I was not aware that some over the counter cold medications can make my HIgh Blood Pressure worse. This medicine worked great and I did not have to worry about my High Blood Pressure."


"I had ER+ HER- stage III 23 positive lymph nodes. Diagnosed Christmas before last. Age 47. Neoadjuvant ACT,surgery,radiation. Letrazole was the first aromatase inhibitor I tried.I am so sorry to hear of the side effects many have had. I have had a few. Gained a little weight,constipation. But I had serious joint pain and stiffness before I had cancer. The chemo made my joint pain and stiffness go away. Even my hips.When I finished it crept back. Then I started letrazole and it went away. I know this helps me becuase I ran out of it on vacation for two days and could barely move the day I got my refill. After three doses I was back to normal. That is good because I have to take it as long as I live."


"I had symptoms, so my doctor switched me from Gabapentin, saying that this medicine is better.  I feel better so far.  Less sleepy, less anxious, less depressed."


"This medication has turned me around and I had none of the side effects. I initially requested it from my doctor because, whilst I did not really have any problems, I had a negative outlook despite trying to be positive and I was not enjoying 'life' at all.

It has really helped with all this and as an added bonus I feel that I have more energy. I went back to my doctor and said "We hit the nail on the head". Previously I was looking for the magic vitamin pill to help reduce my stress and increase my energy levels. I tried vitamin B, Iron, and multivitamins to no avail. I no longer feel the need to take any vitamins at all. I'll continue to take this as needed and have no reservations about taking anti-depressants."


"Had to stop after three days due to Achilles tenderness. Achilles still sore three weeks after stopping drug."


"I'm 57 and have been using Estrace cream sporadically for about a year.  I've found the drug component to be pretty effective, but I just hate that greasy goop it's put in.  I seems to leave a trail for days as it leaks out.  I would prefer something that absorbs better."


"I have had an extended bout of situational depression after my mother died.  Abilify definitely helped with motivation for me, so far it has been the best medication in this regard.  However, the constant sensation of heat and flu like symptoms are quite bothersome, (worse than a hot menopausal hot flash) but the insomnia will ultimately prevent me from taking this medication as I need to be able to drive."


"I just started when the day I got my period and I've been bleeding nonstop for ten days. I've felt very sad and depressed and extremely moody. I also feel nauseous and very lethargic."


"My partner and I were having sex when the condom accidently broke!  It was the 14th day of my cycle, so I was fertile. As you can imagine, I was terrified. I took the pill 13 hours later. I was worried that it wasn't taken soon enough. But if you take it within 24 hrs, you'll be fine. I experienced lots of cramping and mood swings for 2 weeks. I seriously thought I was pregnant. I'm not ready for a child and sadly was contemplating abortion. My period came on the day it was expected and I couldn't be happeir to have my period! I'm going on the BC pills so I never have to experience this! Just relax & take this pill ASAP as timing is crucial."


"I've been on Depo twice. First time I was on it for about 3 years and now I'm on it again, and it's been 3 months. The first time I was on it absolutely loved it! No horrible side effects. This second round though, I have gained some weight which is no biggie because I do like my bigger butt lol. I think Depo is awesome, and it's really convenient and easy."


"I had a reaction to this I woke up because I couldn't breath . Had to take my husband give me his inhaler til it was 8 so I could go to our clinic. Next day I felt so sick everything hurt it went away later that day."


"Disclaimer: If you have moderate acne, this is perfect for you. If your acne is severe, I'd look into something a little stronger. I started using this about a month ago. I had moderate acne in several parts of my face that just didn't seem to want to go away. I started applying this to my ENTIRE face, and soon realized that was a mistake. Please only apply it to your problem areas. This stuff will dry your face like you've been dipped in batter and fried. Another thing: do not put if around your eyes. Apply like you're wearing big sunglasses. I got some in one eye, and my upper eyelid swole super huge and my eye has been crusty for days.
All in all, this is A  for mild to moderate acne. Remember that it takes time!"


"I’ve had Kyleena for about four months now and I must say, it is a lot better from where I began. When they say 3-6 months, they mean it. The first two months were horrible. Constant bleeding and cramping, but tough it out! It was the best decision I have ever made! My bleeding is significantly less and I don’t have to worry about children! I gave this an 8.0 because I do experience some acne and I still cramp bad occasionally but so worth it! Everyone has their own opinion!"


"Initially found I would wake up groggy but after a few days this really helped calm me. I take it in combination with Seroquel, Buspar and Wellbutrin. Coming off Effexor due to the sexual side effects and up to 75gm/day. Also on Adderall twice a day and find the combination helps me concentrate and feel much better about myself. Before this combination I was suicidal. Now, I even look forward to the next day. I can't guarantee this combination works for everyone but I've tried MANY with limited success so it's refreshing to know something is working and if I could help another person feel the way I feel."


"I was given Levaquin and it all most killed me. The doctor had me on it for 10 days , I thought I was dying the doctor did nothing , my pharmacist talk to me and told me I was having side effects. I stop taking it - it took a week before I thought I was still going to live. Now my muscles ache all the time. My neck hurts can not lay flat on my back.
And other things to. Please do not take it."


"If you want results real fast, Epiduo is wonderful. I noticed a complete face transformation within the first month of use. I only felt burning the first week. The only real downside is that it causes lots of peeling. I have to use an exfoliating facial scrub every other day just to keep the flakes off my face. So, the product itself is great, but the dried up mess of skin it leaves on your face... not so much."


"I am finishing my second week of Saxenda.  I am very satisfied so far.  To date I have lost 9 lbs but this all came off in week 1, so no change with my dose of 1.2??  Has anyone else experienced this?  My appetite has drastically decreased but this week it seems to be returning more than last week...hoping the 1.6 dose will kick start this weight and appetite loss a again.  I  give myself the shot at night to minimize any side effects.  I can't say I am bothered by any side effects...may be a little nauseous but then I realize I should eat or may have eaten too much...same applies for drinking water. (hope this makes sense...it reminds me of morning sickness).."


"I have just taken prednisalone for the first time for a moderate exacerbation of asthma. For the first time in 28 years I was pain free. I kept telling my husband that despite how sick I was  with pneumonia I felt so relaxed and I realised I had no pain. Now I know how normal people feel I could cry. You can't take it forever due to the effects on your body but gosh I sure wish they could work on something that worked the same without the side effects.meanwhile I am trying to readjust to pain again and feeling heartbroken that I have to live with fibromyalgia."


"Went to a diet clinic as I was unhappy with my weight, put on 3 stone while being in a relationship, only started a week ago went back to the clinic to be weighed and so on to find I have lost 7 pound in a week. Find the tabs helped a lot as I find I'm a picker when it comes to food and these tablets stopped me picking and I'm cutting the meals I usually have in half. Hope to lose an extra 27 pound to get my target weight."


"(escitalopram)"


"Hello, I had smoked for 40 years and tried everything to stop to no avail. I had health issues and knew I had to stop. My doctor then suggested I try Chantix, I have now been smoke free for 3 1/2 years. I feel so much better, and do not miss smoking , I only wish I had taken Chantix sooner."


"My doctor put me on this medicine on 2-17-2017 twice a day at 7.5mg for my anxiety and stress levels. Today is 2-20-2017 and I'm already having issues. I ended up getting extremely light headed, heart racing, sweating, and dizzy all in the matter of five minutes. I went to go to the bathroom so I could try and feel better. Next time I remember I was on the floor laying in a pool of my own vomit. At that time, I had no idea what was going on, what had happened, or anything. I ended up having a bad seizure. I was locked in place for five minutes, not breathing properly, and throwing up everywhere. I was extremely confused and exhausted like I had just ran a marathon. Went to bed and had another one six hours later."


"This did not do anything helpful for me. I tried it for 2 weeks as an opiate substitute after intermedulliary nailing. (This surgery always has a Very painful and long recovery) I was given this by my surgeon because it was supposed to be less addictive. After two weeks I decided to taper off it. This produced HORRID withdrawals.  They were far different and more severe than stopping the opioids which I was over in one day. Don't take this med! If a dr tells you it won't cause withdrawals don't believe it. Opioid worked during my surgical recovery and were no prob to taper off then quit."


"I had my paragard inserted in the office in June of 2015. Per my OB it was in place at my 6 week check up. In the first 4 months after insertion I had moderate to severe cramping and was informed by my OB that this was normal. In June 2016 my IUD was no longer visible in my cervix. An ultrasound was scheduled. Four days later I had a positive pregnancy test. The ultrasound confirmed the pregnancy and the IUD was not visible so was assumed to have fallen out. I gave birth in February of 2017. A follow up X-ray and subsequent  hysterectomy confirmed the paragard was still in my body, but not in my uterus. I had my Paragard surgically removed in October 2017 and it was found to have perforated my uterus and small intestine."


"I've been on Symbicort for 5 months - I was originally diagnosed with COPD, I was on Advair for 4 yrs and had bad side effects. I was angry and depressed. Advair made my chest feel heavy. I switched to Spiriva it did not help, took ventolin 6 x a day. I wen't on Foradil but would wake up wheezing every night and felt the worst I have ever felt. Finally had asthma testing and prescribed Symbicort 2 inhalations twice a day. I've never felt better. It has literally changed my life! I am having ringing in the ears but I'll take that over not being able to breath any day!"


"The purpose of my writing this review is to warn nursing mothers against using this drug. The drug worked - it increased my milk supply - but at a very high cost. Prior to taking Reglan, I had never had issues with depression or insomnia and very little issues with anxiety. Throughout the latter part of my taking this drug, anxiety increased steadily. Then I stopped sleeping. I became extremely anxious and severely depressed. After over two weeks going on a total of no more than 15 hours of sleep, I was admitted to the hospital. While in the hospital, I stopped taking Reglan. After five days off the drug, I was fine. Please do not take this drug. The other reviews are accurate as well. It is not worth it."


"Going on 2 years on Arimidex have high blood pressure and a little bit of arthritis, feeling very good."


"I think this product m3 works different for every person I just inserted m3 about 20mins ago mild burning with itching. Nothing excruciating. Will update later"


"I have had bacterial vaginitis unknowingly for two and a half years and my obgyn prescribed me 500mg of metronidazole for seven days. Now I've read alot of comments about how this didn't work or that didn't work and whilst I haven't tried all of these and every woman's body is different. I do know that most couples tend to do "it" more than once a week and I don't know if your obgyn told you this or not but if you have sex unprotected whilst taking metronidazole or flagyl it just gives the BV on him and back in YOU. Which causes the bacteria to just keep getting transferred so if you wanna get rid of it and haven't tried not having g sex then try to not have sex during the 7 days  and 48 hrs after the seven days. It worked for me!"


"On Votrient since 2010 after Sutent. Results were good.  After six months - no sign of metastasis and have been in remission since 2012.  Votient had the effect of high blood pressure which was mitigated by Procardia. As of late, have lost weight and am having some digestive issues."


"Flow has improved, but I have the equivalent of a permanent head cold.  After two months, I have trouble breathing through my nose, and sleep fully.  It's not worth it.  I will try Avodart, and if that doesn't work, I will have surgery."


"For what I paid and the discomfort and pain that I received not worth it.  It made my lady parts more swollen and the burning that comes with it doesn't feel normal. Don't recommend this product."


"Mentally this is great medicine but the weight gain is unbearable. Hoping to change my medicine without a psychotic episode."


"I have had IBS-D most of my life. Until Imodium came along, I had to stay home... I use the Imodium Multi-Symptom more often than the Imodium AD for one specific reason - the ease of accessing the pill. The packaging for the AD is absolutely, beyond a doubt one of the dumbest every conceived! Definitely not something you can have handy in your purse or wallet. You'd never be able to get to it in an emergency. You have to use scissors to cut the tiny pill out! But, with the Imodium Multi-Symptom, you simply bend the corner at the perforation, pull the paper back and access the pill. It is a larger pill so for people who have difficult swallowing, you may want to buy a small bottle of Imodium - no individual packages to mess with."


"I'm 20 and sexually active and I love this pill! I've been on it for about a month and the only issue is that I have bad cramps but not as bad as what I used to have before this bc. I'm 80 pounds and this pill works wonders for me. No issues here at all .Don't let all these scary reviews scare you. Try it for yourself and see if it works. Every body reacts to medicine differently."


"Horrible, bitter taste. Lingers for hours then continues to drip down your throat and continues giving you a horrible awful taste. Did nothing for my nasal allergies, except a 10 min clear nasal way, but the taste didn't make this worth it."


"I've been on accutane 3 months now. I've had persistent acne since I was in middle school and nothing has worked besides this. Right now I'll get occasional acne but it's clear for the most part. My whole body has gotten dry because of it and is often very uncomfortable. But the worst side effect are these mood swings and depression accutane has caused me. It has really effected my relationship and I cannot help it. I'm on 40 mg but it was worse when I was on 60. Even though this is a difficult side effect, I am amazed at how clear my face is so far."


"I had Mirena put in about a week ago & it by far the most excruciating pain I've ever felt! I'm missing some of my left leg due to a motorcycle accident so believe me when I say I know pain, the insertion was worse than ANY of my surgeries. I had to make my obgyn stop bc the pain & discomfort made me so light headed & sick to my stomach. The pain & cramping for the first 2 days after made it impossible to move & now a week later I still have bad discomfort & spotting. I've noticed an increase in appetite & acne on my face that I never had problems with before. I had mirena placed as an option to help my severe bipolar mood swings but I think this may not have been the right option for me. I'm giving it a few more days to change my mind."


"People mention a cough as a potential side effect-I've hardly noticed this at all, but what I HAVE noticed, is that this medicine interferes with getting a good erection.
Skipping a dose (or delaying it until after sex) does help(assuming your doctor says that it is okay to skip or delay a dose. Of course on the other hand, I was on a different high blood pressure medicine years ago, and it was WAY worse in this regard.
And, YES, erectile dysfunction medicines will help overcome the effect. I've been using Quinapril for many years-started with 20 MG once a day, and eventually went to 40 MG once a day.
It has worked reasonably well...note that users of the medicine in this class (ACE Inhibitors) sometimes end up with cold hands and feet.
This is generally an issue in cold climates."


"I started out originally on Lo Loestrin FE and switched to Blisovi FE because the first one worked for me for the first few months but then my period became irregular. I put on 15-20 lbs almost right away and I thought it was what I was eating but I hadn't changed my diet at all. Glad to know I am not the only one that this happened to. The irregularity of my period has improved but I am now getting 2 a month which is not okay. Would not recommend and I'm switching ASAP."


"I am having nothing but problems on this birth control. I am a month and a half into using it and I have been spotting often. I spot more with sex. I just took the 9 th pill of the new pack and I am already spotting. I am moody and crying very easily. This birth control is not working for me. All this spotting is messing with my sex drive and I just never know what to expect."


"At first, I had no problems on Apri. Then about a month in I gained over 10 pounds even though I didn't change my diet or exercise. I also noticed that I became very moody and had random crying spells around my period, which has never happened before. My breasts are also very tender and itchy, and my acne has gotten worse. I never had bad period cramps before I started taking this pill, and now they are extremely painful. Hopefully my doctor switches me to a different pill."


"This medicine is a miracle, it has changed my life completely. Before Xolair I was being admitted to hospital via ambulance every 6-7 days, with ICU admissions, without this medicine I would not be alive today, as there was nothing else that would help. I have tried everything going, every attack via ambulance they were injecting me with adrenaline until they got me to hospital. "


"I've been using Tretinoin Microsphere .04 gel for about a month and 1/2 & just now starting to see improvement in my skin. After using it for about a week & 1/2, for about 2 weeks afterwards my skin looked dull, a little red, developed small bumps on my cheeks and had acne scars.I take full responsibility for the acne scars because I have a pesky, horrible habit of popping my zits and picking at them (Bad! But working on it). My derm. also prescribed 5% Benzoyl Peroxide and a Clindamycin Gel to use in the mornings but now I'm using that as a spot treatment, because my skin got itchy and red & burned for about 2 hours after using it on my entire face. Now my skin looks more vibrant & smoother, acne scars are getting better & I have no bumps!"


"Long story short,Condom broke. Took the pill like 7 hours after it did, (7a.m).  I was soooo scared! I wasn't ready for a kid. We went to Walmart and bought Plan B. And now it's just been exactly one week since I've took it, and I've started my period. I'm so relived,and So happy that it worked. This is not a spam either. I saw that a lot of people were saying it didn't work, and it kinda worried me. Because I didn't want to spend like 50$ if it didn't work. But it truly did. Plan B  really works."


"I had the worst experience with migraine headaches, nothing allowed relief, until Excedrine.  I could not believe that two little pills of something so cheap allowed relief from the harrowing migraines I was having, THANK YOU!"


"My Mother was placed on this after broken wrist, broken hip and fractured pelvis.  I do believe that this medicine keep her from having a broken shoulder when she fell out of her wheel chair.  Granted there was a small hairline fracture.  I just know it could have been worse. (she was also a T2 and with dementia).  Her Encro had her placed in a study that paid for the medicine."


"I've been on this medication for about a month, and it's been a mix of good and bad for me.
The good:
- no babies
- cleared up my acne
- bigger fuller breasts :3
- I've had IBS my entire life, and this has nearly completely done away with my symptoms. Bizarre but appreciated.
- I struggle with depressive feelings, and there were two days while on this medication that I genuinely felt really good. It was better than being on an SRI. Not a big deal for some, but this was huge to me.

The bad:
- overall increased depression and anxiety. I have a pretty bad case of social anxiety as it is, but on this medication I worry constantly.
- decreased libido. This might be due to my mood.

I'm looking into switching to something else."


"Silver bullet for lumbar muscular spasm. 5mg at bedtime."


"Was prescribed 500 mg 2x day for bacterial vaginosis, a common vaginal infection. Every time I've tried to take this for bacterial vaginosis it caused me to have extreme vaginal discomfort! Stinging itching and burning, making the symptoms of the BV 10x worse! I can't make it through one day on this drug. I plan on trying other homeopathic treatments from now on. Ladies beware"


"I started this medication 5 days ago due to post nasal drip, phlegm coughs, runny nose... My doctor told me to take 24 hour. As far as side effects: I experienced slight insomnia...a little longer to fall asleep, my head is not quite clear, I feel a little foggy, when I need to concentrate and a little fatigue. No major side effects. The medication has helped but has not completely "cured" me. So overall, it's worked but it's not a miracle."


"I was recently put on this medication - only 25 mg to start for the first week. Since about the third day of taking the low dose of this medication I suddenly began to be extremely tired. I was not feeling like myself at all. I had to leave work early one day and was off for the rest of the week. I also slept for about one whole day. My doctor is aware and wants me to stick with the low dose for now since I am still feeling pretty lethargic during the 3rd week. I hope that it will get better soon. "


"Took this 2x and developed wheezing, coughing and flu like symptoms with a fever.  Had to use rescue inhaler just to get my lungs open.  Will not be using again, definitely not worth the side effects."


"I absolutely love Benadryl. It's works fast when I need it and relieves the symptoms enough to make me feel comfortable. It does make me sleepy so I take it at night. I do take it during the day occasionally when I know I don't have to drive anywhere."


"I was put on this primarily for debilitating menstrual cramps and I've been on it for 5 months now, going on my 6th
I noticed a little bit of weight gain/bloating in the first three months or so, but that has stabilized.  My breats have gained a cup size.  My sex drive has stayed the same.  I still have some intermittent bleeding, but I think that's my wacky menstrual cycle, not the pill.  On the whole it's helped me a lot getting the cramps and PMS symptoms under control.  No pregnancy is also a great thing.

Overall, my life has been improved with Microgestin, even with the minor side effects."


"I hopped on the depo August 2012 after having my child on and off untill April 2015 I had no bleeding in the time I was on it, until beginning if August 2015 I started bleeding went to the doctors they made me do s.t.i and s.t.d checks everything came back negative for anything but still bleeding , but then I found out I had to have minor surgery for cervical cancer so doctors assumed that , that could be the cause of the continuos bleeding I've had the surgery done but still bleeding I have no idea why, I've gotta go back to the doctors once again so they can send me for some type of scan to find out why . Has anyone else had this problem ?"


"I had an anaphylactic reaction. Within 30 sec of the drug being injected, my chest began to tighten and I could not feel my feet. The numbness continued to spread upward until I could feel nothing from my chest down with continuing increased chest pain and wheezing. They placed me in reverse trendelenburg position and called for a cardiologist. I became increasingly diaphoretic,increasing chest pressure, still unable to feel anything below my neck and I could not move my head. I received several IV pushes. It took them over 30 mins to stabilize me and return me to baseline- able to move all 4 limbs with normal vital signs. This occurred within a hospital setting, but they proceeded with the test anyway. I am asthmatic on meds."


"I am a 57 year female, who started using Estrace for vaginal dryness, painful intercourse and almost immediately noticed falling hair. I asked my doctor who assured me that it would never cause hair loss. After 3 months my hair was so thin that a rubber band no longer stays put. I quit Estrace almost 2 months ago and the hair continues to fall.  "


"I've had the paraguard IUD for about a year and a half now.  I'm not sure I'd recommend it since I'm considering getting it taken out.  The insertion was quite painful.  I felt like my blood pressure went down,  I got light headed and cold.  For the next two days the pain was unbelievable but I still went to my office job.  I was and still do take 800 mg of ibuprofen twice a day when I'm on my period.  I'd say the cramps during my period were intense for a year until they started to calm down.  Now the cramps are more bearable but I hate that they last longer than a week.  Every month I say I'm gonna get it removed,  but the convenience of not having to worry about taking any pills or worry about unwanted pregnancy stops me."


"I was given this in the 1980's for panic attacks and was not taking any benzodiazepines at all with it. I'm glad it has worked so well for others, but for me it was like a very bad trip. I was literally bouncing from wall to wall, couldn't walk or see clearly, even hallucinating. I had a severe reaction to it, but I am extremely sensitive to tricyclics and all SSRI's except Remeron. If you're taking it for the first time, might be good to have another person around just in case."


"After 7.5 years, this past Jan. I thought I would try viibryd. Went up on it, down on cymbalta. Had a moderate adjustment with ups and downs. It was not as effacacious so titrated down viibryd and up on cymbalta. Got deeply depressed in between and on one moderate day; tried wellbutrin. I  titrated slowly up and this was death warmed over! Titrated back from hell to 60 cymbalta. I am just back to normal. Long story short: if it's not broken don't fix it. Cymbalta still is the best. Some weight gain but some exercise can help it a bit.."


"Ventolin is a good product actually it makes me feel relieved whenever asthma hits me, I take 2-3 puffs and after a short span of time,  I can breathe easily already. But I would like a Ventolin that doesn't need to be refilled because it so pricey that sometimes I have to sacrifice some things in order to prevent my asthma from hitting me from time to time. I would really appreciate it if someones innovates this kind of product."


"Happy thoughts once again."


"Horrible med. I weigh 105 and was given VISTARIL 3 times a day. I lost a CHILD  and was sad. Grieving and this is what I was given with trazadone and I already was on cymbalta  for chronic pain.    I couldn't even finish a sentence. Released from hospital ran into a ditch, arrested for DUI. Two nighes in jail. DUI was my own meds. No Alcohol and never drugs in my life.   Now I have fines a court date truck repairs and may lose license and probation and community services and I was out of state.  I told the Doctor it was too strong but he didn't listen. My life is ruined"


"I'm 25 and have never had children.  A good friend recommended this to me and she had no pain.  I had a tremendous amount of pain - generally speaking I'm "tough" too.  Pinching and pressure for what seemed like an eternity when it was being inserted.  Granted, I didn't have any numbing or pain killers before. When the doctor was done I had to lay there for at least 10 min before I could get up.  Broke a cold sweat, got really dizzy, and really, really had to make a run for a bowel movement while still sweating and dizzy.  Very unpleasant.  I really thought I was going to die for about 20 min after insertion.  Then, I drove home and relaxed and slept well.  So far, so good.  Slight cramping, but that's to be expected.  I only got it yesterday!"


"I did a lot of research before selecting a birth control. I have had so many bad side effects from previous birth control methods that I was skeptical especially after reading the reviews of this one.
I am considered a Sunday start and the 1st month went smooth. I didn't get my cycle at the usual scheduled time instead it came during the inactive pill time frame. I did get some slight cramping around the time my cycle would've normally come on and during my actual cycle I had sum painful cramps but they were tolerable. I think I might have had a few sad days but I mean we are putting hormones into our bodies so you kind of have to expect some temporary changes. At least until your body can normalize itself. Overall I like!"


"Had my second colonoscopy yesterday....am age 71.  Propofol worked great falling asleep after a few moments....don't remember anything and woke up okay.  Went home and took a long nap and today feel very good...almost joyful that it's over!!"


"I deal with chronic back and leg pain due to a ruptured disc and bulging disc above and below, 3 ruptured discs that were fused via surgery. I have been on opiates (hydrocodone, morphine, oxycet) for 4 years and finally got sick of the side effects and physical dependency these drugs create.  The dependency and withdrawal finally got worse than the pain that these drugs released.  I detoxed cold turkey off of them for 2 weeks and then decided to try this medicine.  I have been on it for about a month and it has worked wonders.  Very few side effects and sweet pain relief.  I do not have to be on this medicine every waking moment and I can even go days without needing any.  So far this has become the answer I have been searching for."


"I have been taking this for 10 years (started at 18 mg, went up to 36 mg). Recently (several months ago), I developed several horrible side-effects. For example: it made me feel nervous. I could not keep still. It also made me extra irritable (to the point I was yelling at my friends for the littlest things). I also felt depressed (to the point I did not want to get out of bed at all) and could not sleep. The doctor brought me down to 18 mg, symptoms did not improve. I immediately stopped taking this and felt 100% better the next day. The doctor put me on Adderall XR which works a lot better with very little side-effects. Please avoid Concerta if possible."


""Eat less, exercise" is what we all know how to lose weight. Belviq has helped me with the "eat less" part and it does it very well. The side effects are mild and sometimes beneficial such as dry mouth (drink more water) and better sleep."


"I got my implant in August of 2015 and I think I have had just about every side effect there is. I've had constant spotting, one of my periods lasted for just over 3 weeks. I've had what I like to call ghost periods where I don't bleed but I have crippling cramps, pms, headaches and fatigue. I've also experienced insomnia, loss of appetite, migraines, mood swings, and in the last year I have had 4 yeast infections and once when I had a bacterial infection and yeast infection and the same time.. my doctor was very confused as to how that happened... maybe my body is just not meshing well with this implant, but just about every side effect that can occur with this implant I have had. I've tried it for a year and I'm done with it."


"Just started taking this a few weeks ago and its already working for me. Blood pressure went from 200/92 to 140/79 when last checked. Slight feeling of lightheadedness at first but gone now. Also take ibuprofen with no side effects."


"I've been taking Belvique 2-1/2 months. Down 30 pounds and it keeps on coming off. I'm a believer. I took my time researching, and got full a full physical, cardio, and blood work first. The first 1-2 weeks didn't show any real results, but also, no side effects either. After 2 weeks, the weight started dropping and hasn't stopped. Still NO side effects. My advice: if you are significantly overweight, that weight may be more dangerous to you that the possible side effects of this. While taking, continue periodic check-ins with your doctor and get blood work (at least quarterly). Take multi-vitamins. You still need to choose the right foods, but this will help you feel full with reduced portion sizes. Also, use one of the fitness apps!"


"Have been using it to treat Trigeminal Neuralgia, 10 mg at night, and it works great for keeping the pain away at night and to get a good nights sleep."


"I got Monistat 1 and inserted it before I read any reviews. Once I had inserted it I went online to read reviews (which I know is typically backwards) once I read these reviews I became very nervous that this terrible burn and itching sensation would occur. About 1 1/2 maybe 2 hour after I had inserted it I started to feel uncomfortable but it did not get worse than that. I had no serious itching or unbearable burning occur. I believe this is because I could my YI early on and treated it at its beginning stages. Although the next time I would probably insert this before bed instead of during the day I would use it again as it did solve my problem."


"I have been on Cryselle for a year and 1 month and I love it. I used to get the worst acne on my chin but my face cleared up for the most part while on Cryselle.The first 1-2 weeks on it I was kind of nauseated and threw up once on the first week. I was irritable a bit the first 2 weeks. And my first period on it was painful. I started Cryselle because I had unpredictable painful periods  & it really has worked my periods are light and only last 3-4 days. Almost no cramping, sometimes none. Plus I know when I'm getting my period and I'm able to make sure I am not on my period on important an important events. Plus it has protected me from getting pregnant ever since i became sexually active. First month is tough, after that it's amazing!"


"I have just started on this medication, it is hard to say if it is working for me yet. I do notice the dry mouth and yucky aftertaste. I have been dealing with an unknown condition for many years nobody can figure out what is wrong. I have been sleeping a bit better since I have been on Lyrica. I am also on about 14 other medications so not sure which one is doing what haha. It does help to see so many people. Have heard such great reviews of this treatment. It is hopeful for me to look for in the future."


"I lived in South east asia, basically it is summer all year round over here. I have been suffering from craniofacial hyperhidrosis since young. And the condition got progressively bad over the years especially the last 3 years.

It has affected my personal life, my career and my psychological state of mind. Because I was so afraid of sweating, I developed social anxiety. Until earlier this week, I decided to get help for it and I came across Oxybutynin as oral treatment for HH. Within 2nd day of taking it, my sweating was reduced by 70%. 3rd and subsequent days I basically am sweat free. It's been years since I last felt this good! I regained my confidence, became more sociable. I got my career back on track, I got my life back."


"Have had stiff ankles, digestion problems, some vomiting, some dizziness, went to Doctor for sinus problems didn't need medicine but I think it is related to the Tradjenta, increase acne on face, cough and increased sinus drainage.   "


"After I turned 65, I started suffering from GERD.  My doctor gave me free samples of Prilosec to use, but I found it to be only somewhat effective.  I switched to Prevacid, and am now heartburn/GERD free!  I've been taking Prevacid for about 4 years, and have suffered no side effects whatsoever."


"Have not stopped bleeding since I started the pill 3 weeks ago today.  I have gained 10lbs and the non stop bleeding is enough to make me go back to  my painful irregular periods. I am stopping the pill immediately."


"Works very well."


"I have been trying so hard to have a baby im talking YEARS! I recently went to the Obgyn to talk to the Dr about my infertility. I have never had kids before because its all ways been so hard to conceive due to the fact that I am irregular on my periods.... so the Dr prescribed clomid to me and the first try i got pregnant... i am now 4 weeks pregnant with my first baby and i honestly still can't believe it. I took 6 pregnancy even blood work and all positive. I strongly recommend this pill it is A MIRACLE!!"


"Nuvaring is great. I've had no weight gain and my hormones are the same as they've always been. I have to take birth control because I tend to have really intense periods with no relief except from the birthcontrol to regulate. It's wonderful and I have nothing but good things to say about it."


"I have been on Levothyroxine 0.25mg for about 6 weeks. I am border line low thyroid.  I am shaky and tired sometimes. Because I have had a kidney transplant I must take lots of Calcium and Vitamin D.  I take Levothyroxine about 7am and at 9am I must take my kidney medicines with food. I have started using a no Calcium coffee creamer instead of milk. I take Calcium and Vitamin D at noon and with the evening meal along with a multivitamin.  Since I made these adjustments I hope to see an improvement soon."


"I was given Toradal (iv form) in the hospital. I was in agony after experiencing severe complications (nerve damage, bleeding, infection) from two back to back knee surgeries. Morphine couldn't touch the pain. Toradal was my miracle."


"This medication has truly saved my life...THE BEST AROUND....HANDS DOWN!!!"


"I've been on Lexapro for over a year and have noticed that I'm actually not "freaking out" about everything.  I'm happy for every day that I'm here and thankful for every moment I have.  I only wish I would have approached my doctor before to ask for help.  This little pill made a huge difference."


"I have been taking Monodox now for about a month. It does help a lot with pimples but I still get cystic acne. I have been getting extremely nauseous every time I take it, and that seems to be getting worse the longer I've been on the medication. I do take it with food and that doesn't seem to help. My doctor told me to take both at the same time but I was wondering if taking only one at a time would that reduce the nausea or just make me feel that way twice. I do like the medication but my nausea is debilitating for almost half an hour which isn't helpful in my work day at all."


"I have had the worse cough I have ever had in my whole life. My doctor prescribed benzonatate to me and I thought it would really help. UNFORTUNATELY for me it did not help at all. I really needed some relief to sleep and it just did not help at all. Taking Mucinex helped more."


"In the first four months of being on this medicine I lost 50 pounds, by 6 months I had lost 60 pounds. Don't get me wrong, you can't expect to take this pill and magically drop weight, you also have to workout and change your eating habits. But if you are dedicated to changing your eating habits and working out regularly then this medicine will work miracles! Give it a chance but have self control to go along with it."


"I had been on Advair for ten years and enjoyed not having asthma attacks, being able to exercise without using a rescue inhaler all of the time. Unfortunately due to the cost of Advair my insurance has dropped it from the list of medications they will cover and I have been switched to another brand. The new one does not work as well."


"taste terriable. made my stomach hurt and did nothing for headache"


"My back was severely injured in 1981 I have had numerous surgeries and am disabled   I have an implanted pain pump  I have used Vicodin for at least 20 years. I use it when I need it. I go several days and sometimes weeks without taking it. I get some pain relief. I am never pain free I don't use enough to kill the pain just enough to make it bearable. "


"I have only had it in for a couple weeks but so far I have loved it.  Insertion was not bad at all (I know this depends a lot on the person).  It just felt like very minor cramping for about a minute.  I got it in during my period, which is supposed to make it hurt less.  After insertion, there was mild to moderate cramping but went away with ibuprofen.  I have had occasional spotting.  Sex drive is the same.  I have noticed that I have to go to the bathroom significantly more often. But that's the only real complaint I have.  Was on the pill before and this is has been so much of a better experience. It was expensive but over the 5 years, it'll be worth it."


"I've started Artane to counteract the extrapyramidal effects of ziprazadone (generic Geodon). It works to relieve the muscle tremors and spasms."


"I was waking up and depressed until around 10;00 I had planned on taking my life many many times but couldn't figure out the most polite way. Each morning it was there. I knew if i could wait until around 10:00 I'd be o.k. but it was getting old, quick.

I decided to get help and I walked in the V.A. tears streaming down my cheeks embarrassed that I had to get help. We had a discussion and I asked if I could try to take what my daughter was taking? Dextroamphetamine because I was all over the place with my ADHD. We tried a 10 milligrams and went to 20 but settled on 15. It works and I'm o.k. Erections with Visuals (hey, don't judge) but the depression seems to be completely gone. and less ADHD symptoms"


"Had the implant put in end of October 2014, since then I have;  gained 30 pounds, terrible mood swings,  depressed, always tired but have trouble sleeping,  and occasional pain in the arm near the implant. Only Pros would be no real periods after the first 2 months, occasional spotting when there is an increase of stress and no pregnancy. I don't think I would recommend this for anyone but I also know everyone reacts differently, cannot wait for the end of this month to have it removed, give me my pill back!"


"I started taking this medication in the winter of 2016. I was having heavy periods, as well as bleeding in between. My gyno diagnosed me with uterine fibroids and uterine hyperplasia. I was given 5mg to take every day. I have not had a period. At first it was a dream pill. I lost weight and stopped having periods. Now my stomach hurts all the time, I was diagnosed with prolapse which I NEVER had issues until this pill, my boobs are getting bigger and horrible anxiety. I asked if I could stop taking this pill and my doc said "it is preventing you from getting uterine cancer." My urogyn said my type of  hyperplasia does not cause cancer. I am so done."


"DO NOT GET IT.

I wish this site would let me share the pictures I took after getting this birth control. I broke out hives that covered my entire body. I ended up in the emergency room three times for an allergic reaction and was put on four different types of drugs to reduce the inflammation and rash. It was so painful and itchy I would sit there and shake. No matter what I tried the itching wouldn't go away and the hives didn't get better. I called into work twice and was sent home the third time because I could barely stand. Doctors didn't believe it was from the Nexplanon. I told them if they didn't take it out I would dig it out with a kitchen knife. Hives were completely gone within an hour of it being taken out. Not worth it."


"Let me start by saying (1) I'm compulsive in terms of researching everything (2) I get the worst cold sores known to man and my lip blows up about 4x.  With all that said, Valtrex is the real deal.  A cold sore is a Virus (as I'm sure you all know by now) that injects its own foreign DNA into your cells which in turn mutates them which is why you get a cold sore - the way Valtrex works is by blocking the viruses ability to inject its own DNA into your cells.  So, if you take Valtrex at the FIRST sign of "tingling", you may never develop a cold sore. I on the other hand developed a sore this past Tuesday (took Valtrex too late), have been taking Valtrex every 12 hours since, and it is now Friday, my lip is fully deflated and scabbed."


"I was a little nervous about being put on an antidepressant for my anxiety but it couldn't be better. I could feel the difference very quickly. I am very calm and relaxed now. It made such a big difference that I even quit smoking 3 months after starting to take it."


"I have had the Nexplanon for about 3 months now and it is great. No pregnancies even after direct ejaculation. The only down side is the constant spotting. Its annoying like I almost never get to have sex. But other than that great!"


"I heard good things about this drug for metastatic head and neck cancer (mine began in my tongue and has moved around my mouth and into my neck - I'm a 30 year female with no risk factors), but had a severe allergic reaction during my first infusion. I felt a hot flash move from my midsection to my head, then everything started swelling, until finally my throat began to close. It was instantaneous. I only had about 10-20 cc's. Luckily, my nurse was prepared and flushed the line immediately and gave me meds to stop the reaction.  My doctor has already ordered panitumumab to replace it, "


"Been taking Abilify for 6 years or so and it worked great along with prozac.    I quit the prozac about 4 months ago and have felt great just taking Abilify, BUT now I,m having side affects; muscle aches in my left arm and right leg, having a hard time walking."


"I started getting a migraine at 6:30am on my way to work.  By seven I had all the major symptoms. I asked my boss if he had anything and he sent me to a friend. She had Relpax. I asked her if it would take the edge off and let me work. She said in 1/2 hour I wouldn't remember I had a head ache. She was right. This is the first medicine that stopped the migraine cold. I went to my Doctor and got a prescription of my own. No side effects at all for me."


"This is the worst birth control! I have been on it for about 2 and a half months and for the first month I had light bleeding/ spotting almost every day. I don't weigh myself very often so I'm not sure if I have gained weight, but my appetite has increased a ton and I am eating really unhealthily. I feel very tired in the mornings even when I wake up at 11AM or later and I feel very lazy and just want to lay around all day. This pill has greatly increased my anxiety which I have normally, and I am a lot more emotional (I cry at almost anything now!). I feel very irritable all the time, and the littlest things can set me off now (I am usually a calm person) I really hate this birth control and wish I had read reviews before I was put on it."


"I had a severe case of psoriasis at the base and outer areas of my hair line with severe itching and the Clobex lotion cleared it up in a week. I used a little on the affected area only."


"Very effective medication for tension headache or migraine. Minimal side effects, i.e. drowsiness, etc."


"I suffer from a very severe presentation anxiety, but after trying this drug I am able to present without any problems! It is truly amazing. Thank you to whoever made this drug!"


"I was taking Yaz for about a year and a half and it was actually working great. I started taking Apri about 4 or 5 months ago. Yes, my periods are regular and I am not pregnant, but my cramps are extremely painful still, and I am very moody. I also have a very diminished sex drive. "


"After suffering from major depression and anxiety for many years I had given up any hope of ever feeling "normal" again.  After being hospitalized I was placed on Pristiq and walked out of the hospital a week later feeling better than I had in 10 years.  For me this has been a miracle drug."


"I've taking Pristiq for 18 months ...I take it in the morning same time everyday. Sex drive is low and I get the occasionally noise bleed and slight memory loss, and now recently been experiencing headaches. Don't suffer in silence get the help you need even if it's hard ...if you are a male like me suffering is not a choice."


"I started Chantix one week ago and continued to smoke that week.  The last two days of that week I really felt my desire for a cigarette diminish.  In fact, they tasted really bad.  I quit yesterday, so I am two days no cigarettes.  Yeah me!  And I have to say that I truly have no desire to smoke.  It's amazing to me.  Yes, I really,  wanted to quit bad, so that may be a great motivator.  But the craving I usually had when I tried to quit the past 7 years isn't there AT ALL.  I know it's only two days, but I can't believe I've gone that long and don't want one.  Also, I have had NO side effects at all. Not one.  But, I also have followed the directions to a tee.  Took the pill after I ate and drank an entire glass of water.  Thank you Chantix!!!"


"Been taking 5mg Trintellix for 3 days and having unbearable adrenaline rush in the mornings? Anyone else experience this? Can I safely stop after only 3 days?"


"I used it for sometime and it caused me temporary muscular spasms in my face. I prefer Zofran."


"After reading several other reviews, I've realized that every real major issue I've had over the past 7 weeks (how long I was using it) has been because of this thing. My anxiety and depression has been at an all time high, the past three days I haven't been able to keep anything down, and I've definitely experienced the low libido several others have mentioned. After lying on the floor in nauseous agony and reading the reviews i tore it right off. I don't want to say I'm already feeling better but honestly.
This is my first time using bc other than condoms and I chose the patch cuz I knew I would have trouble with the pill. But after my experience I wish I had chosen something different. would not recommend."


"I absolutely adore Otho Evra. Less pimples. I practically glow! My breasts got bigger by a full cup.
I'm always happy my sex drive went up this is the second time I've been on it and I'm never going back! I used Nuvaring and Yaz and a couple of others that gave me yeast infections, acne, low sex drive, and ANGRY mood swings. This is perfect for a forgetful artist like me.. once a week and it works well with my body chemically. I don't know why I stopped it the first time."


"I had been on Prystiq for about 8 months, but I thought my mood swings, irritability, paranoid thoughts, anxiousness, etc, were a thing of the past.  Also, Prystiq is an expensive drug that is not covered by my pharmacy coverage.  So, I quit cold turkey.  Brain zaps, zombie mode, feeling horrible were all part of what I endured, but the symptoms quickly subsided.  What came back a month after stopping Prystiq was the little dark cloud and all over the other things that I thought were in my past.  I was having difficult coping.
 Now, I am on day two of effexor (which costs pennies on the dollar as compared to Prystiq).  The nausea is intense but I know that if I stick with it the results will be all for the best."


"I got the Mirena two years ago. I love it. With 4 kids at 32, I wanted to keep my options open, in case I win the lottery. At first, it hurt. It felt very uncomfortable as I could feel it inside. My husband said he could feel it at first, but now it doesn't bother him. I suppose it has adjusted or softened somehow, but I feel the string still.  The period was annoying, long, short, spotting,and now no period at all! I had success with the Norplant in the past and was looking for an alternative with the similar levonegesterol hormone. My mood was off the first year but now wonderful. My weight went up the first year 153 to 168 but went to 155 at 1year 6mo, at  2years I am at 148 lbs. Give it a year!"


"I've tried others years ago and could never tolerate them. I've been battling some health issues for awhile which has caused anxiety and recently depression. I am one of those people who are sensitive to everything I take so was nervous about trying this. I've only been on it for 5 days at 5mg in the morning. Mild nausea that goes away. I'm hoping for some energy as fatigue is a big issue for me. I think I'm feeling a bit less down but still to early to say I guess. I'll keep updating. Good luck everyone"


"Easy to use on scalp conditions compared to oils. Can burn a little, but two thorough applications will clear up the problem for 7 to 10 days. Apply once a week before a break out and it keeps the problem under control. I have been using it for 3 months and no side effects yet. I have a full head of hair, my scalp can get really bad and this works. I am a 62 yr. old white male."


"I am a 26 yr old male and have been smoking for 10 yrs. I was up to smoking 1 1/2-2 packs a day. I finally got the urge to quit and asked my doctor about Chantix. I've been taking it about for a month now. All I can say is that it is truly a miracle pill. I was a bit optimistic at first as I have tried the gum and patch and that didn't work. In the beginning of taking Chantix I started noticing that my urges to smoke were steadily decreasing. By the end of week two I have not had one desire to smoke. I even tried smoking a cigarette in the end of week three and that did not go very well. It tasted absolutely disgusting. I immediately turned it out and haven't looked back. "


"I did a fair amount of research of which testosterone treatment to try. After reading the reviews I chose Axiron. Unfortunately, my results weren't that great. After 4 weeks on 30 mg per day, my levels actually dropped . My doctor increased the dose to 90 mg and did a recheck 2weeks later. A little improvement but still below where I was before I even tried Axiron. My doctor referred me to a urologist who is running tests to rule out if it's something else causing the low levels, but in the meantime, recommended Testim. After reading these reviews I'm not looking forward to Testim but will give it a try. It's a LOT more expensive. "


"I hate this drug so much I can hardly stand it. Unfortunately, this (with Cipro) seems to be the only viable treatment. Hate this so much I waited 2 weeks hoping it would go away by itself. Now on day 3. Sick as a dog. Nausea. Uncontrollable diarrhea. Dreadfully groggy, like I've taken sleeping pills. Lucky I'm retired, I can't leave the house. Can't get off the couch."


"I've taken these antibiotics before for tonsillitis in the past and the first time I had a pilonidal cyst and every time I dread it. This is the second time a pilonidal cyst has started to grow. On top of not being able to lie on my back and sit down without pain, the sleepless nights have been awful every time! The taste in your mouth is horrible and makes me feel ill. Woke up five times in the night and my body felt so weak. They may do the trick but taking them is a challenge"


"was put on flagyl and cipro for 1 week. I'm light-headed and only want to sleep! Nauseous and my mouth tastes awful. I am glad to read all of these posts and I thought I was getting a secondary sinus infection. MY last pills were on a monday and today, wednesday I still feel 'in the clouds'."


"I have SLE, and I tend to contract UTI's pretty easily. Usually they'll give me Keflex or Flagyl, both of which don't seem to cut it. My current primary started prescribing it about a year and a half ago, and now I specifically ask for it. I had an AWFUL UTI for over a week, finally got to ER today, within a few hours, the worst of the symptoms were residing.... the burning, constant urge, abdominal and lower back pain/pressure. Honestly, I would give it 10 stars, but relief often comes at a price, although for me, they're temporary side effects - bad migraines, yeast infections, worsened photo-sensitivity, drowsiness. All medications have potential side effects. Communicate with your doctor & make sure it's right for YOU."


"This birth control over all is great (for me). I have not had any problems on it besides weight gain. I deff notice an increase in appetite and always gain 5-7 lbs when on it. I don't have an appetite when off of it. My periods are 2-3 days and are barely even there. I do have cramping & headaches a couple hours before getting it but nothing crazy that I cannot tolerate. No acne either!"


"My doctor prescribed Cymbalta for me as an antidepressant.  I am also arthritic and cannot believe how the pain in my joints has improved since I started taking Cymbalta.  I had gotten to the point where I had to go to bed by 7 or 8 pm - not because I was sleepy, but because I was in too much pain to move.  Now I am easily able to do a few more hours of chores before calling it a day.  I am not sure how well it is working as an anti-depressant, but the simple feeling of accomplishment of being an adult able to stay on my feet until "bedtime" is enough to call it a success in my book."


"I am on a much higher dose than most others here, 10 mg. I do have bipolar illness, perhaps that is why my cocktail also includes 400 mg lamictal and 25 mcg cytomel. I am stable after eight years with this combo. I still have manic episodes, but much more manageable, thank god! What is also nice is that the abilify is available as a generic drug. Beforehand it was $80/ month, even with excellent insurance. Worth a try!"


"Excellent medication but has caused major constipation"


"I had bad, wheezy coughing and doctors thought it might be COPD. Then, on a hunch, my great doctor thought the coughing might be due to my GERD so she suggested Zantac150 twice a day.
 What a difference! I still need an inhaler, but my cough is otherwise gone...and it was REALLY bad for months (even with inhalers).
  Been on Zantac for about 2 weeks - no discernible side effects."


"Had colonoscopy today just now reading reviews ha ..It does work well !! all reviews are correct that I read...it doesnt taste good..can't imagine vomiting but I almost did.. Understand vaseline to butt cheeks I would recommed first application prior to drinking 1st dose and cont to reapply often.Yes!! to proceedure (anesthesia) and food."


"I went on Lexapro about 4 months ago, for anxiety and panic attacks. While the anxiety had been worsening for the past few years (I'm in my early 20s), I'd started having panic attacks a few months prior to going on Lexapro. At first, I'll admit that my anxiety worsened but that may be because I was nervous about going on medication, and was analyzing every thought.  But in about a week that passed and since then, Lexapro has definitely improved my daily life. I haven't had any attacks for about 3 months, and I rarely have anxiety. When I do, I'm able to overcome it much more quickly. "


"I have never done a review like this but I feel I should. I have had a major pit sweating problem for the last yr or so. Went to the Dr yesterday for an unrelated issue. While there I brought up the underarm sweating issue I've been having. I assumed he'd say to change my diet or change soaps, etc. instead he prescribed this for me. I picked up the prescription that night and went home to try it. I was absolutely amazed. Immediately after I cleaned and applied, no more sweating. None. Zippo. Nada. Today, just one day after first application I've been dry as a bone all day. All day I've been checking and couldn't believe I was still dry. Amazing stuff. I'm blown away. Thought this was just something I'd have to deal with, but I guess not."


"I take 400 mg Seroquel at bedtime. I sleep a lot better but as far as my bipolar symptoms I see no real difference."


"I started taking this 9 days ago. The first few days was ok, I was kinda snappy, but ok. After day 7 I stopped smoking, didn't find it hard to quit, but did have the worst panic attack while driving home, and called my husband and cried for the next 25 minutes. The next day I was ok, but today I was on my way to work. I was 5 mins down the road from my house and turned around. I had to call out of work. I cried and had a huge panic attack. It happened all throughout the day. Called the Dr. She said to stop taking it.
It's OK for quitting smoking for me, but the side affects are not worth it (aside from the sex)."


"I originally took this pill to regulate my periods and obviously prevent pregnancy. Before taking any sort of birth control, I had PMS with moderate to heavy periods. Ever since this pill, my period is where the blue pills stop and my period is so light, no cramps, no PMS. But I have realized myself gaining a little weight. My breasts definitely seem a little bigger, so used to a B cup, so when they get bigger- I know the difference. This pill has done a good job. I haven't had sex without a condom while being on this birth control. I see less acne though."


"I live in the UK and I've had the implant in for four months.

Prior to the implant I took progesterone to make sure I was OK with the hormone, the mood swings were terrible but they settled down after 2 months.  When they put it in they numb your arm so you can't feel anything.

For four months I haven't had any periods, no cramps, no anything! I haven't noticed any weight gain and infact my skin has gotten better. I have noticed a lot of bad side effects that other people have had, but this implant has been great for me."


"I have severe PMDD and Sarafem has been a God send!  Being 40 and already going through the change made it worse!  I take 20 mg each night before bed and have noticed the total difference.  More laughing less mood swings.  I would definitely recommend."


"I've used this before and had no problems.. must be a new formula because I had symptoms of a YI and bought the same 1 day applicator and oh my goodness my vagina is on fire.. as if I put a icy hot cream inside. It burnnnnssss. Beware "


"The ONLY side effect I had from this medicine so far is very slight fatigue right after I take it. Had a pretty bad UTI, took the first dose ( 2 a day every 12 hours) and within a short amount of time there was no more burning, fullness feeling, or pain. I take this for 10 days and I am on day 7. And no dizziness, nausea, vomiting or anything. Don't be afraid to take this medicine BUT! EAT BEFORE YOU TAKE IT!! Like a full meal! I think many people aren't doing this and you should."


"I got the shot in June due for another one in September . I am debating on whether to get it again or for the main simple fact I have irregular periods its looks its going to start but never does . So just a warning a lot of these reviews are true personal experiences. And I don't think I want it again"


"I had a heart attack July 7th this year. What a surprise that was. I had wonderful doctors and they prescribed Plavix. I was told I will need to take it for the rest of my life. I had two stents and damage to the back of my heart. I feel much better now and will for sure take my Plavix."


"Was on breo and spiriva .  Tried this for 2 weeks .  Ran out of breathe walking to the kitchen .  went back on breo anspiriva"


"Worked for me the first year I took it but then it started to have really bad side effects. I have ADD but I don't have hyperactivity and I was getting socially awkward and having anxiety and even depression.

I don't recommend it for someone who's not hyperactive."


"What is this? Phenol? Phenol doesn't "numb" anything. This is the weakest medicine of any kind. What happened to benzocaine? We want POWERFUL medicine that eliminates pain and lasts for a long time, not this worthless, useless snake oil."


"I began isotretinoin November 2008 and finished my last dose March 2009. My acne consisted of small pimples on my chest and back and mild to moderate acne on my face, no nodules or cysts.  After one week of treatment my acne was completely gone.  I was amazed at how powerful the drug was.  My side effects consisted of hair shedding, headaches, dry lips and face. I used Aquaphor on my lips about 8 times per day and Aveeno ultra calming moisturizer on my face twice a day. I never used a facial cleanser throughout the course, rather a warm face cloth morning and afternoon. My pores completely closed, and my skin was flawless. After being off it for six months, my face is producing a little oil, but is still acne free."


"I have had 2 Rituximab Infusions for rheumatoid arthritis, the last one 2 1/2 months ago.  I sailed through the infusions with no problem but 3 or 4 days later I had extreme edema and burning pain of both lower legs, muscle pain all over my body, feel like I have the flu and some loss of coordination. I was on 40 mg Lasix for another problem and my Doctor increased it to 80 mg daily along with Zaroxyl, extra Potassium 4 weeks ago, and for the first time today, my legs are normal size. I'll probably discontinue the extra diuretics when I see my Doctor tomorrow. "


"I've been taking sertraline (50mg) for over a month now. I felt slightly better after 3-3.5 weeks on the med, and I started feeling full effects after about a month. Now I feel great! Nevertheless, I experienced a considerable increase in anxiety and panic in the first week of taking sertraline. Other than that, I didn't notice any other side effects. I would highly recommend this to anyone suffering from Panic disorder, GAD and depression."


"For Essential Tremor. Took me a long time to get used to side effects. Felt scared. Dizzy. Headache. Nausea. Increased heart rate. Anxious. Barely standing because I started too high at 50mg.  Need to start very low for me. I finally got better. No shakes. Very pleased. The Neurologist Office kept rescheduling me and I ran out. This second time starting was even more AWFUL. Flu like plus feeling kind of like I was in a total mental fog. Odd. Be cautious is my opinion. I was in misery for 3 days. Unable to function. Finally getting better. Day 5. Should have taken at bed time. Never knew."


"I started using Uloric (40mg) on 8/18/09.  My uric acid was 12.8.  Blood work done 10/19 it was down to 6.9!  BUT, I developed a rash on one side of my face; cutting back to 40mg every other day and using an ointment to see if the rash improves.  Couldn't tolerate any of the other medicines available for gout."


"My neurologist prescribed Zomig for my migraines (45 years) in November 2011. Within 1 hour  my migraine vanished with no residual effects. The only side effect I have is increased urination 2 to 3 hours after a dose. I also take Cymbalta, but it hasn't caused a problem."


"I was so tired on this medication, I don't think I gave it long enough to work before I switched to something else."


"Lidocaine 5% patch...What a waste of time and money. Product did NOT relieve my bursitis pain. The "metallic" taste went away after a couple of weeks. The blurred vision, sensitive eyesight to sun and complicated way of using this product I could have dealt with if only it had worked. Do not waste your money and time"


"I have been on this study for nearly 3 years.  My psoriasis has been a problem since I was young and have dealt with it for 30 years!  I have tried all sort of different drugs over that time and nothing has given even close to the same results as this.  It truly is a miracle.  I take one shot a month and I'm clean and clear of everything!  Just like others have posted it took about 2 weeks to show big improvements and by a month in you wouldn't ever guess I suffer from severe plaque psoriasis.  I thank all the doctors and nurses that have helped me through this process and I'm very happy to see this hit the market!  Hope it works as good for you as it has for me."


"I love this medication.  I have been on Contrave for  2 weeks and have lost 7lbs. The only side effect I have had is the dry mouth, but I can live with that.  I highly recommend this drug."


"I have been on this bc for 3 months and it's been the worst 3 months of my life! I had pretty clear skin before taking this but now it's awful! I have tons of small pimples all over my forehead and chin and big pimples on my back. It has also left bad scars on my face. As far as weight goes I haven't gained any weight. I've lost weight if anything. I am switching at the end of my pack because I just can't handle the awful acne!!"


"I have had both depression and pain for the past 20 years.  After having some rather intensive back surgery 18 months ago, I decided to switch to Cymbalta instead of the Prozac that I'd been taking for many years to see if it would aid in the pain.  My initial result was hot sweats, but no other help.  I missed a day while I was on 60 mg and had vertigo and an electric twinging in my brain that actually made my vision jerk.  It went away about an hour after I took my Cymbalta.  This has since recurred every time I try to wean.  I cannot get down past 30 mg."


"I had perfect skin until 2 weeks after starting this pill. I continued to take it because my gyno said it would take 3 months for my body to fully adjust to the hormones. 5 months later I am still breaking out on a regular basis. "


"I suffer from chronic migraines, but I am only 15 years old. I had to be taken out of school for some time because of them. I was prescribed 10 mg of amitriptyline to take everyday it it has been great. I now get very few migraines and of lesser severity. I do though experience some dizziness wich made it harder to participate in sports, but over all my experience has been good."


"Don't do it.
I got mirena in March of 2016 and bled for a few weeks. I got a period every month until August. No period August, September, October. Starting early November, I began bleeding. It's now January and I'm STILL BLEEDING. It will not stop.
I am having it removed in a day. I cannot wait to get this thing out of me."


"Helps me 100 time over to stay focused at work and home. I also seem alot more alert at home"


"This is the ONLY thing that has worked for me.  I was diagnosed with a 'nonspecified mood disorder', feeling totally out of control, no concentration, extremely irritable, suicidally depressed, angry, extremely everything, you name it.  Tried on Lexapro (small effect, then nothing), Effexor (killed my whole soul- left me feeling nothing at all and HORRIBLE to wean off off and gained 30 pounds in two months), Zoloft (turned me into a raging psychotic mess- violently angry ideations, a real nightmare), Xanax (psychosis), self-medication (won't go into that, but obviously not a good idea)....anyway, you get the gist.  This medication gives me NO side effects and just took away my 'craziness' it changed my life."


"Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. I experienced some chest pain and heaviness within the first day of taking."


"I've been on Victoza for almost 3 months.  Why didn't someone tell me about this sooner. There are some side effects in the beginning. Nausea, headaches, loss of appetite but they only lasted a few weeks. I did experience bad stomach cramps and major nausea when I increased to 1.2 but I called my Doctor and she told me to stick with the 0.6 until my next visit which she kept me on.  My sugar levels have been great 95-115 far cry from the 200-300's my A1C went from 7.6 to 6.2 in 2 months and I have lost 22lbs so far.  I also take metformin 1000mg 2x day.  I have noticed that my blood pressure has increased slightly so we are watching that and may need to increase my blood pressure medicine. About administering the shot. I was intimidated at 1st but it's painless."


"This medicine is a wonder drug. I suffer with fibro.

 Anyone who says it doesnt needs to be on 900 a day to start with. Finally pain free no anxiety, i still have to be aware not to roll down hills with my great nephew, it hurts."


"I take Januvia 100mg once daily with metformin and glyburide, and I it works."


"Within 3 minutes of inserting the 7 day cream, I started to experience burning. It increased by the minute until it was unbearable burning. I took a shower trying to get all of it out, that didn't help. At this point it was 2 in the morning and I was experiencing one of the worst pains of my life. The extreme burning was actually causing pain. I ended up going to the ER. Not ever using Monistat again. Really recommend researching before using any topical cream."


"My doc prescribed this for endometriosis. I've tried other bc pills and right away they either made me depressed, nauseated, made my period last for weeks, gain weight, breasts ballooned up and were painful, cramps every day, acne, pretty much every awful side effect you can think of. But thankfully NOT on this pill. There has been zero side effects. Maybe for the first week I experienced mood swings at the same time at night when I took the pill but it didn't last if that was related to it. I only gave it 9 out of 10 because I've just started the second month and I'm keeping an open mind in case things were to change. But I'm so thrilled with it so far and I hope it holds up!"


"Cymbalta has been a heaven sent. I have severe osteoarthritis in both knees and I'm 35. I stayed in chronic pain. On a 1-10 scale I was 76. This medication took my pain level to a 2. I couldn't believe how effective it was after 1 dose. I do suffer side effects such as nausea and diarrhea but I'm praying it passes. I've only been on the meds 3 days. I don't feel sidelined in life anymore. I can participate nearly pain free."


"At 7 yrs old my son was diagnosed with ADHD. We tried a few medications like Concerta & Vyvanse. Both were terrible & either made him a zombie or completely took his appetite away. I discussed with his doctor my concerns about his lack of weight gain & she suggested Intuniv. We started at 1mg, increased to 2mg & finally settled on 3 mg. He's done wonderful with this dose for almost 2 & 1/2 years. Since last Christmas things have taken a downfall & so now we're looking at increasing to 4mg. It makes me nervous.  I just hope I'm making the right decision for him."


"Helped me sleep.  Gained 10 pound in a month.  Did not feel more level or stable.  Worse actually."


"I have not had it very long, but I am in love with it so far. The IUD's scare me, and I can not remember to take pills. The whole process was quick and little pain involved. I have had no period, and the only side effect I noticed was some headaches that I do not usually get. Those could be from not drinking enough water though. I have tried all sorts of pills, which all had multiple side effects within 24 hours. This has none so far. Super happy I got it! I gave it a 9 because I have not had much experience with it yet. Great for people who do not want to worry about taking a pill or going in for more shots and patches."


"After stomach surgery & stool softener & 5 days of not going I called the doctor and he put me on a  powdered laxative that I took for 3 days & still didn't go 8 days later I found myself in more severe pain and pushing to go with no relief was so bad I was crying and couldn't get off the bowl for 4 hrs finally. I got the fleet enema & was able to do it by myself (that was a relief) it was very easy & painless ( I feared it would be painful ) with in 1 min of finishing the solution I felt I had to go 1st it came out watery and then it broke my plug (that hurt a little as it was hard nothing as bad as the constipation pain) I went for about 10 mins I was sweating like crazy after I was very shaky for a hr. It was amazing and helpful"


"Really diminished asthma cough over time and helps avoid attacks.  Get rough voice, and eustachian tubes clog up in air conditioning."


"I could barely walk and bending was impossible. I started with prednisone 40 mg.  for 4 days then tapered off.  In 2 days I felt like a new person!!  All pain gone.  Personally I'd take it everyday if not for the possible side effects.  I call it a miracle drug."


"Cymbalta has increased my quality of life significantly. I have less pain and I am a happier person. I sleep better at night, most likely due to less pain from fibromyalgia."


"I feel like many people commenting must have pretty low pain tolerance...or else the fact that I expected my vagina being slathered in antifungal would be uncomfortable prevented me from being concerned when it was. Yes, there's swelling. Yes, a different kind of itch/burn (way more tolerable than the YI). It was over completely in about 8 hours for me, and it was enough to make me irritable at times. However, on Christmas Day with zero other options....it was a lifesaver. Im only giving 8/10 because its only been 20 hours and there's still just a slight itch, but I feel this will go away and it's nothing compared to what it was before I used this product."
