"My 5 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD just yesterday, the Behavior Specialist said his was one of the worst cases that she had seen in a while, she had suggested putting him on a stimulant medication, I told her i would like to a non-stimulant medication first and she prescribed him Kapvay. My son took it for the first time last night before bed, he went right to sleep and when he woke up this morning he was the calmest most pleasant, helpful and nicest he had ever been in his life. I could not believe the overnight change. I'm so glad it worked so fast, he has not gotten in trouble once today which is a new record! His teachers are going to be thrilled on Monday! Thank you to the makers of Clonidine!"

"I'd never been on birth control up until a few months ago, and I was given Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo as a starter, because I did not want it to have much hormones. I went through two whole packs and decided to switch because of extremely low sex drive, extreme mood swings and increased appetite (I would eat a full meal and two hours later my stomach would be growling again). My relationship began to suffer due to these side effects so I stopped taking it and am back to normal. However, this pill DID have pros: I didn't get pregnant, it regulated my period and caused no breakouts or acne. But be wary of weight gain, decreased libido and mood swings."

"I will say this about the patch. It work for me. We're there side effects? yes. A small bit of bruising and a small rash.I was willing to put up with those side effects because I did not have one craving for a cigarette. I was very happy with the program and have remained smoke free for three years boxing day passed."

"on March 21-25 I had my period. On March 26 I had an accident. My cycle ranges from 28-33 days. I took plan B within 1 hour that same day March 26. That day I got cramps and got really tired. The next day I experienced diahrrea. On March 31st I started bleeding again which scared me and it lasted 4 days. The bleeding was really light. I spent all April worrying. I took over 10 home pregnancy test and they were all negative. Well today I started bleeding again which makes me 3 days late from my actual period. Yet on time from the plan B period. I never want to go through this ever again."

"Celebrex did nothing for my pain."

"I have Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and anxiety, I have never felt more calm and in-control of my emotions. Usually every night I'd fall into a fit of thinking of self-harm, I have thought of them no more, I still get sad, but it's sadness, not full on depression. My anxiety has decreased so much, I still get nervous, but it is not even close to how bad it was. An added bonus, is for me, it makes me drowsy, so I get more sleep. I have never been so happy in my life. Prozac is a life saver."

"I seemed to catch everything while I was on this rx. First it was a really bad cold, next I could not seem to heal from surgery for deviated septum - my ENT was stumped, then later I caught the flu while the rest of my family seemed fine. Also during this 6 month period I had a couple of sinus infections. Eventually, I knew something was very wrong. I started searching the Internet for immunity issues and topiramate, and I got a couple of hits from blogs where women about my age (40s) claimed that topiramate had wrecked their immunity. Alas, my search (and problem) was over because I knew exactly what they meant by "wrecked my immunity". Within a few short weeks of ceasing the use of topiramate, my health returned. Please beware!"

"General tiredness with the medication but no manic episodes. I guess the trade-off is fair."

"I take 400 mg a day and it helps."

"BC from below. Rapid weight gain, swelling and bad cycle. Don't recommend"

"I just got the copper IUD removed after having it for 7 months. I am normally a really positive person with a happy demeanor and I am convinced that the copper IUD threw me into depression and anxiety. I have NEVER had depression or anxiety, and every month my moods got worse, I would cry almost everyday, I would snap at my bf or family for the smallest thing, and I felt rage almost all the time. I was trying to figure out if something else in my life was affecting me, I even went to my therapist and a depression care specialist. I finally read some reviews on the copper IUD and depression and it seems pretty common. Drs will tell you it's not the IUD but please trust your intuition. I also had yeast infection & BV almost every month because of IUD."

"I was getting two hours sleep. Constantly woken with severe palpitations and sweats. Within a week of taking Angeliq, getting a full night's sleep again and no sweats. Fantastic"

"Started taking it and I slept well at night and awoke early around 5 to start my day happily. But come 8 am and I am drowsy and needed to take already two hrs nap. Awake and resume My day with not much difficulties. Than st 2 pm again I needed a nap? So how was I gonna make it to work and my appointments too ? I went cold turkey. Felt much better after that. Only to crash again. I did try other anti depressants including pristique. But I suffered with insomnia with these meds. I know I need to start again but so confused if I should resume welbutrin"

"AAA ointment. it like... gives you wolverine speed healing. I work in the food service industry (red lobster yay) and I get a lot of cuts when I work dish but all I need is to put a on little Neosporin covered with a bandaid overnight and the next day it's like nearly healed. I ruined up my hand because my roommates dog chews up everything and she chewed the handle of the garden trowel and it gave me a massive blister that immediately broke open and got ripped off so after the naked angry red lower layer of skin dried out a little bit I covered it with a thin layer of AAA and put a bandaid over it for two nights and now it's almost healed. I tell everyone all you need is neosporin and a bandaid and it works."

"I absolutely LOVE this medicine. I lost 30 pounds on it last year and have lost 7 lbs on it in the last month (no exercise). It makes me feel good and gives me the energy to get things done. My libido had been down due to being on anti-depressants BUT this medicine has affected my libido in a GOOD way. It also helps tremendously because I have ADHD. It helps so much with that too. I love this medicine. HOWEVER don't drink a lot when you take it. When I first started it last April I drank WAY too much and ended up in the hospital. The doctor was amazed that they hadn't told me not to drink on it but all is well now."

"Switched from my old BC to yaz and immediately felt a difference the first few days I was SO emotional. VERY significantly so. By the end of the first week I was full on depressed and it continued on to the second week. Everything triggered me. :( but I like the sticker on the top with the days."

"I have had my Paragard for one year, and it's been great! Insertion was not pleasant, but it only lasts a moment and now it's nothing but a distant memory. My periods were heavier and my cramps more severe for the first three months, but after that they returned to nearly the same as before. So many people wrote about their terrible experiences that reading up almost stopped me from doing it, and now I'm so glad I got it anyway. Just remember that those who had a negative experience are more likely to post about it, so there's a bias! It's also totally possible that it will go just fine and be a fantastic BC method. Don't be too afraid to try it and see if it's right for you, you can always take it out if it's not."

"I am a 66 year old post-premenopausal female with Fibromyalgia. I was given Amitriptyline to treat my condition. After 6 days on this medication, I began experiencing lower abdominal cramping and on the 7th day, started vaginal bleeding. I immediately stopped the medication, but the bleeding continued for 7 days. After researching, I found that in studies of 854 women, 2 experienced bleeding, both were over 60 years old."

"I love Jolessa. I have no periods for three months and little to no side effects. I was on Depo for eleven years and due to insurance changes had to change to the pill."

"I have severe sinus problems all year long, but worse in the fall. The pressure pain is almost unbearable. My doctor has prescribed everything under the sun to help relieve the symptoms and nothing works better than Mucinex D. I never have any drainage with my sinuses...just the pain/pressure and I can get almost immediate relief after I take 1 bi-layer tablet (1200mg guaifenesin and 120mg pseudoephedrine). The medicine says it has an immediate release layer that works quickly and it does. Then it has an extended release layer that works over the next few hours. I also have the side effect of insomnia, but it's so worth it to relieve that sinus pressure (those of you who have it know what I'm talking about!)."

"In 2000 I had 4 surgeries to repair an anal fistula. The surgeries were successful in that they did repair the fistula but they also left me in severe chronic pain. Pain in the rectum area is very difficult to treat. I've been to numerous doctors in Columbus, where I live and only 2 were willing to prescribe Oxycontin. When I was taking the Oxycontin the pain was much better and I could actually sit down at a desk and do a job. Then the last doctor took me off because I'd been taking them for so long and now I can't find a doctor to prescribe them again. Consequently I'm back to suffering with terrible pain because doctors are afraid to prescribe Oxcontin in Ohio unless the patient has cancer, which I don't."

"I had the implant placed a little over 1 month ago. After about a week I started breaking out with acne. I feel extremely irritable, emotional, and have extreme insomnia. I keep getting the chills but it's been 80 degrees outside for weeks. I'm a fit person, but I've started having unexplained joint pain. I'm so exhausted.. I was really hoping this birth control method was going to be the best choice for me. I never remembered to take the pill, I had frequent infections with the IUD because my body didn't like the strings/foreign body in there. I'm hoping these side effects will gradually lessen or go away because it's really effecting my quality of life. I'm going to try to give it a few more months.."

"So my journey has been two years with depression/anxiety. Had two bouts prior.... the first coming out of nowhere around age 40. The two times I went on a Paxil and in 30 days I was normal. You can only imagine my disbelief when this third bout trying Lexapro, Effexor and Paxil lead to horrible fatigue within a week of each. I just couldn't tolerate the fatigue and there was no relief. Incredible. Went on 100 mg of Wellbutrin despite it increasing my anxiety... requiring Lorazepam. For past year I couldn't tolerate more than 100 mg of W. w/o terrible fatigue. A year later I just got up to 150 mg without fatigue... no relief of depression yet. Also in therapy. Wellbutrin is better than nothing I guess. Not sure what's next."

"I have been taking Brisdelle for the past 6 months to help with hot flashes. However, I have had these chronic problems since taking this medication. I have tremors, eyes are sensitive to light, seizures, biting my tongue during the night while sleeping so severe that I have to get up because the blood is so profuse. I also am dizzy all the time, and feel like I am whirling around and unstable while sitting, lying down, or walking about. It has taken me almost 2 months and thousands of dollars to figure this out on my own. I have been to the endocrinologist to see if I have a tumor, neurologist due to the seizures, dentist, ENTSpecialist, Chiropractor, a Neuro-Opthamologist, and my primary care physician and no one has been able to help me"

"Where are my taste buds? Everything tastes like nothing and cigarettes are unappreciated totally. I was forced to quit in my 3 day hospital visit came out 2 weeks later got prescription and patches to quit. Other than everything tasting like bitter nothing I can understand why this actually works. Good luck to all"

"I have been taking Beyaz for exactly a month now and my acne has cleared up so much! I have always had really bad skin and It has made it flawless! It is amazing! I love Beyaz!"

"Ive been on this pill for 9 months now and I love it! I have severe migraines so it is hard to find a birth control that doesnt make them 10x worse. My migraines have almost disappeared since I started this pill! Also, I had one period upon starting the pills and I havent had one since. In the beginning of my trial, I did go through some changes. I was moody all the time, my breasts stayed sore to the extent that I could hardly move around. Other than that, I had no issues. I havent had any weight changes, acne changes or anything like that. My body returned to better than normal after maybe three months. Mood changes disappeared, no period, no cramps, no soreness. Overall I am satisfied!"

"I've been on Sprintec for two months now and my doctor had told me that if I wanted to skip my period I could just skip over the white and jump right into the next pack. So after deciding to do so I've been bleeding for the past week now unexpectedly throughout the day. I have never had acne before but now that I've been on Sprintec my forehead has been spotting. Also my breasts have become larger I believe but sore to touch almost everyday. I have gained about 10lbs from it, and my sex drive is gone about halfway through activity. And I've also been feeling bloated. I'm not totally satisfied with the product but not totally dissatisfied since it obviously works. Debating going off it though."

"Love this pill. Went on it and cleared my skin, but I didn't know that Yasmin was clearing it I thought it was just the fact I was no longer a teenager. Stopped taking this pill to get an implant to avoid periods. Well, it was hell, acne came back full blown and periods were relentless. Went back to the doctor today and got Yasmin again! So excited for clear skin again!"

"I've been on Wellbutrin for over a year now and I will probably be on it for the rest of my life. I have a dry mouth occasionally, food doesn't taste as good as it used to, and it makes me sweat a little more than normal, but without this medication I would be in a fetal position, in bed and crying most of the time. I would never even consider going off of it. I've tried for just a couple of days and the old symptoms of sadness start to set in. I took Zoloft for a while and it made me gain weight and I just wanted to sleep all the time. I was a zombie. If it weren't for Wellbutrin, I would probably be a recluse. Nothing interested me and I didn't want any social interaction. Now, I can't wait to get out and be around people. GOOD!"

"I was on this medication for about 2 months and it was an awful experience. I started out on 25mg and I couldn't really feel any emotions, so they increased the dosage to 50mg. I started feeling worse, so I was told to increase the dosage again. Once I got to 75mg, I started becoming angry, even more anxious than I was before, I had an out-of-body experience, and I was becoming incredibly impulsive. After trying another anti-depressant and failing, it is believed that I have a mood disorder and was placed on mood stabilizers."

"My step dad was using this Medication for less than two weeks before the pill itself killed him, proof is in the death certificate. He was not abusing either. He complained from day one of taking it of many side affects. Sleeplessness dizziness trouble urinating hallucinations still felt pain couldn't stand without falling etc,. He asked his doctor to be off the pill and they told him to wait until they see him the following Month. Also fault in there practice too."

"I lost my sexuality from the first pill, overnight it went from 100% to 0%. Was told it was a common sideeffect, so I continued using Prozac (called Fontex here i Norway), after a while I didn't want thouse sideeffect so I stopped using. But my loss of ibido and ED continued. Now 3-4 years later my problems is still the same, doctors refuse to belive me, but I'm certain, I had very high sex drive before my first Prozac/Fontex pill. No I can't keep my erection more than 5 seconds and my penis often feels numb. This pill should have been illegal. (Sorry for my poor english)"

"I'm a 32 year old male and I've been taking buspar for about 10 months. At first it did nothing but make my anxiety worse. I would wake up with to full blown panic attacks and have the worse nightmares ever. However I'm now taking 40mg of citaloptam a day mixed with the buspar 15mg and 1mg of xanax twice a day. And Zanax! I have insomnia mixed with with deep anxiety issues. The problem that I have is the buspar makes me so fat! I'm literally considering stop taking it and just see of the other meds can help. Buspar Alone is no substitution for anxiety drug and wouldn't recommend it..."

"I've been on Kariva for 5 months now, and am looking to switch. I get my period the third week of pills for several days, and then again the fourth week as a full period. Both sets of periods I get come with cramps, bloating (and several pounds of weight gain, which disappears once my period is over), and moodiness. When I asked my doctor to switch initially, she suggested I wait several months, as sometimes these effects subside, but mine have not."

"Very good for GAD mixed with depression. I felt worse for 2 months but then felt amazing :) give it a chance"

"I was really worried at first because of all the negative comments. I just finished my first month of Microgestin, and I had absolutely no side effects. I have not seen significant weight gain or terrible acne. In fact, I think this medication has actually reduced my acne! My skin's clear and smooth, and I don't have painful heavy periods anymore. I think it's worth giving this medication a try!"

"I have been taking Victoza for about a month. Started at 0.6mg for the first two weeks and lost about 3 pounds. Increased to 1.2mg after two weeks and have lost an extra 9 pounds for a total of twelve pounds the first month. My main complaint is a little upset stomach and a little diarrhea. But I can handle it for the sake of weight loss. I seriously cannot eat no where near as much as before. I used to be able to eat 6 pieces of a papa John's large pizza in one sitting. Now I can barely eat 2 without the crust. I have waaaaayyyy more energy now. I don't understand how some people are having problems with injection site. I Wash my hands and use alcohol to clean injection site before I give myself the shot."

"I am a 72 year old male that had a kidney removed six years ago. Since then the cancer reformed in my hip causing a partial hip replacement, then on to my breast bone (radiation treatment) and finally my lung and adrenal gland. At that point I was put on Sutent 50mg which caused white count issues. We dialed down to 37.5 which stabilized the blood and now after three months my tumors have shrunk by half. Side effects are not pleasant but tolerable. Bottom line I am still alive thanks to Sutent."

"I've been on this birth control for a year and I have to say that it's very practical for my body. I used to get brutal cramps and long periods. No matter what type of birth control I had debilitating cramps. Lolo has caused my cramps to stop and my period is consistent and lasts 2 days. Only downside is I did get some acne, but the acne may be just due to something else since I've dealt with breakouts prior to trying lolo. Also my boobs grew a lot which I'm happy about. This medication is not for everyone, if you experience adverse effects stop taking it immediately as it does not agree with every woman."

"This medication does not relieve eve the slightest pain."

"After I was discharged from intensive care, I reported no pain, and no pain killers were given previously. After given Tylenol 3 in liquid form, and I started to experience pain with an extra large headache. The pain was in my eyes, temples, and ears not to mention throat. I got cold and my legs started to shake. Then I experienced more swelling in my throat than before, but I thought that this was post op normal. After the second dose I started to panic quietly inside and I couldn't get liquid Advil out of my mind! The nurse only had tablets, so my husband arrived and rushed me to the pharmacy to get some Chldrens liquid Advil, and 30 minutes later I was pain free! I'm not touching my prescription for Tylenol 3 and will tell the doc ASAP."

"I have a 10 year old who is autistic, is the size of a 13 year old, and has had severe panic and tantrums since he was 4 years old. He is also going through puberty early. We have tried just about every medication and he has had severe side effects, until Buspar. We started with 5mg twice a day for 2 weeks and now are 10mg twice a day. Within 36 hours we noticed a considerable change in his physical symptoms (he is non-verbal and cannot tell us what is wrong/or what hurts) The school is sending home notes saying he is learning to calm himself and self regulate better and is having more spontaneous language and learning at school. We supplement the Buspar with 3mg daily of risperdal and are hoping to phase out the RISPERDAL this year."

"Make sure you drink more than 8 ozs of water after taking the whole bottle. LOTS OF WATER right after taking it.. You will need butt ointment, vinyl gloves, baby wipes, and garbage bags. I had to take 3 bottles in 24 hrs for the colonoscopy. My butt was terribly raw, I used cold pressed castor oil, but I heard A&D ointment works good and prob won't be as oily.. It took 2 hrs to work with just 8 ozs of water, but would have worked sooner if I had taken 16 ozs of water. The more water you drink the more it will work. I bought lemon flavor at Big Lots, but I've heard it comes in grape or cherry."

"So, I've had a yeast infection for two weeks thinking it would go away like the last one. I was completely wrong! My sister decided lets go to the grocery store last night. So, I was all for the trip just to get Monistat. Now, I've tried the 7-day and 3-day. The seven day made my very uncomfortable I felt as though ants were down there, but the 3 day just didn't work. I've got a diflucan but it didn't clear it. I told myself give Monistat one more time. I grabbed the 1-day off the shelf went home and used it around 9pm. Oh my gosh I have seen a complete improvement overnight. Thank you no more symptoms this morning."

"I have been getting the shot since having my 3rd baby 17 months ago. Honestly, the 1st year was awesome! No periods, no mood swings, and no weight gain! Actually improved my moods and I lost all my baby weight right away. I was also breastfeeding at the time. As soon as I stopped when my son was 12 mos old, I guess the hormones in my body changed and reacted differently with the shot. I started bleeding for weeks at a time. I would bleed light to moderate for about 3-4 weeks and then stop for about 2 weeks and start up again. I've now gained about 10-15 lbs. and I'm starting to break out a bit and I never break out. Also my moods are definitely off. I can really feel the difference. Up and down all the time. It was great while it lasted!"

"I hate this birth control. I was originally taking Gianvi which I absolutely loved because I didn't gain ANY weight. My acne cleared up and I stayed slim. For some reason my pharmacy switched me to Nikki and in 2 months I went from 121 to 143. I am 5'4 and I lift weights 5 days a week. I use to be defined/toned and now I'm so bloated all the time I look fluffy and bulky. I do NOT like this birth control and my skin does not like it either!! :("

"So I've been on this birth control for about three months. In the beginning I was hungry all the time and it really upset my stomach. After about three weeks that was gone and it was awesome. No babies. Easy periods almost no cramps it was too good to be true. Now here I am three months into the pill and I've hit a horrible depression. I've never been depressed. But everyday I cry and get so sad I can't go out and I don't want to eat or do anything. I've diminished. So I've decided to get off the pill immediately. I think I'll stick to the condoms. I would rather use condoms than be overwhelmingly sad all the time."

"Me and my boyfriend did the deed on 3/10, the condom had broke. My period had just ended. We didn't realize until after when he was pulling out. We immediately began to panic. I took a quick rinse off shower (don't know if this is the best idea but oh well) after I rinsed off we went to the store and bought plan b. We went home right after and I took it. I was feeling really nervous about this whole thing. I began to read so many reviews. On 3/14 I began to bleed very heavily and had cramps that lasted for 6 days. I started having cramps, my breast hurt, and everything u can think. I was due 4/3. I took a test and it came back NEG. I was 12 days late before it finally came! It takes time but I promise everything will be okay in the end!"

"Only the brand name version of Effexor works for me. Luckily my medical insurance agreed with my doctor and authorized me to continue getting the brand name version. I have found it to be very effective. An Interesting "good side effect" is it helps with my serious face pain. A win win medicine."

"I was taking regular Trazodone on and off for a couple of years, it stopped working so my doctor switched me to Desyrel. It's a good pill for the fact that it does make you tired, but I'd make sure you're gonna get 8 or more hours of sleep before you take it. I was prescribed 100mg pills, and I only took half of a pill whenever I took it, and I had the hardest time waking up the next day. Also, with the reg Trazodone and with Desyrel, it took a long time for it to kick in for me (2 hours), but that might be because I have a high tolerance to pills. If you're new to this medicine, take it on the weekend, or whenever you can sleep in, so you can see how it works."

"I am taking 1/2 pill twice a day (5mg total) with Fortamet, the difference is amazing!"

"First off let me start off by saying that I am only here because before I started this medication I lived and died by the reviews on here. As a matter of fact had it not been for the reviews I probably never would have taken the chance and been A LOT worse off. If your reading this you’re probably at the point where you know you should take this medicine but anxiety is telling you it will harm or kill you. Don’t listen to it. It’s LYING. This medicine took me from being agoraphobic to attending rock concerts. It doesn’t work overnight and the side effects DID suck but they were worth every single one. I have my life back and my only regret is that I waited so long to try. I started in May and by October I was basically a brand new person."

"I was diagnosed with Stage IV Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) in April 2009, and told by my primary care physician that my prognosis was approximately 6-9 months, perhaps a year. I found an oncologist that specialized in RCC and was told that this was the only course of action that had the potential to cure, not just stall the progression of my cancer. After 3 courses, I have had a complete response - no detectable cancer for 6 months so far."

"No terrible side effects a side from severe headaches when I miss a dose. Completely regulated my anxiety and mood."

"Have developed visual problems, thinning hair on top of my head, insomnia, and loss of sexual interest."

"I've never had kids and I am 32 fyi. The insertion was the most pain I've ever felt in my life I almost passed out. For the first 3 months I bled everyday and had pretty bad cramps. I am at month 6 now and the cramps are maybe a few times a month. I still spot but its very light and I am not getting my period anymore. It had also helped with the endometriosis. Overall i am satisfied."

"I switched to Gianvi from Aviane in hopes of clearing up my acne. I was VERY excited because Yaz is supposed to be a miracle. My experience was far from a miracle. My skin did not clear up AT ALL, and got worse. I'm a freaking irrational hothead all month. I'm usually very good at shrugging off the small stuff, but it's like I have absolutely no control over my emotions anymore. I've become very lethargic; I could sleep all day if you'd let me. My once raging sex drive is now hardly existent. On the bright side, it did work strictly as birth control (hence the 4 rating). I've already made an appointment to switch."

"I am 60 yo male starting weight 297lbs. Since January 1, 2014, I am now at 225lbs. I no longer take blood pressure medicine, cholesterol medicine, and asthma inhaler. I also have MS. This is the best treatment for a new lease on life. I will continue on till I hit my goal weight of 195lbs. I have been a vegetarian for the past 28 years of my life."

"Worked to begin with and then after a while stopped working"

"I'm one of those unlucky people that doesn't really respond to antidepressants, so I need an antipsychotic to stabilize my mood. I was on Seroquel for a many years but switched after the negative effects of my memory and concentration, which ended up being not so subtle; weight gain and oversleeping came a little while after as well, so I found it was time to switch. This is my best try so far after Seroquel, but that's not saying much. Having to take this with food needing to go to sleep pretty much Right After or else getting lost in a paranoid/anxious frenzy/limbo-type state is really quite challenging. I also get tired pretty early which I believe is due to the half-life of the medication (18 hours or so)"

"I wish I read the earlier reviews to prepare myself. Oh my goodness this itches quite a bit, is that seriously wrong? Cause I know hydrogen peroxide itches and burns when it's cleaning a cut maybe that's the same thing.... I havent tried the itch cream that comes with it but that's for external use and the itching is internal with warnings on the box not to scratch. Gonna be a rough night."

"I had been a bad binge drinker for the last nine years. Going on benders ranging from 5 days to at worse 2 and a half weeks. I could remain abstinent for anything from 1 month to 8 months but always relapsed eventually. 4 hospital detoxes, countless home ones and very ill heavy drinking. Had a warning that my liver had early stage of chirrosiss so that scared me enough to try Campral. 6 a day, been on it a month now complete abstinence and generally feel, marvelous with no cravings or thoughts. So far so good. I'm sleeping great and feel calm and more balanced."

"I went off the birth control pill at age 38 (after being on for almost 20 years) and within 2 months my skin went crazy. I started experiencing bad cystic acne to the point I had no less than 10 bumps at once and was spending a lot of time and money at the dermatologist on injections. I had never had a cyst before--just typical teen acne breakouts in high school and college. It was painful and I felt embarrassed to go anywhere in public. My self esteem plummeted. After 3 months my dermatologist recommended spironolactone. I started at 200 mg and within a month my face was totally clear. After 6 months I went down to 150, then another 6 months down to 100, which is the dosage I still take 2 years later. Best medication ever!"

"This is my 4th pregnancy. I've always had bad morning sickness with each pregnancy but always ended by my 10th week. I started the Rx at 7 weeks and tried stopping at 13 weeks but experience terrible withdrawal symptoms. I only take 1 pill at night. When I tried stopping the med, I violently throw up, nauseous all day, body aches and excessive sweating. I would have never started the prescription if I knew stopping it is this painful."

"I was given Demorol for pain in the ER about (3)days ago for terrible menstrual cramps and I can say it is definitely a 10 for pain, but the side effects are not the best. I have been drowsy, thirsty, and still a little dizzy, but I guess it depends on the individual."

"Have taken 30mg daily since mid July. Up until this week I have been very pleased at how effectively it has stopped my binge eating. However this week it has prevented me from sleeping at night for 4 nights straight. Scary. Not sure how to stop taking it safely."

"I have been using this method of Birth Control for over ten years now, I am hesitant to change to another form. I have not had a period since starting Depo and never had a pregnancy scare. I have gained weight while on the shot but it could be just my eating habits and lack of exercise! I would recommend this form of birth control for anyone who cannot remember to take a pill or who does not want to worry about getting pregnant. Once every three months is easy to do and I have never been happier with any form of birth control."

"I got this medicine last month, and am now start to getting good results."

"I've had depression on and off for years but more recently have felt worse. Having tried various antidepressants my Dr prescribed 50mg of sertraline. I started it a few days ago and have noticed that I have no appetite. I sleep for only a few hours a night. But it's early days.."

"Effective in reducing discomfort"

"Valtrex is fantastic if used correctly for cold sores. For adults the dose is 2 grams at first symptom of a cold sore, followed by 2 grams 12 hours later. That's it. Now the key is getting that first dose right when you feel the first symptom (tingling, burning, swelling etc.) This medicine has worked great for me and usually prevents the sore from breaking the skin, thus no one even knowing I was getting a cold sore. Anyone who gets cold sores knows how awful they are and how long they take to heal. I have not had as much success with acyclovir. Be sure you always have some Valtrex on hand. If you wait until you get a cold sore before calling the doctor, it's probably too late, but take it anyway to reduce healing time."

"This drug saved my life and my marriage!"

"I take metoprolol tartrate not metoprolol with hydrochlorthiazide, however I have noticed a marked frequency of urination and polyuria after starting this medication. My doctor suspected a urinary tract infection (although I am not experiencing dysuria, fever, chills or having any other typical UTI symptoms). Urinalysis was negative, prostate exam was negative, cystoscopy was negative. The medicine is doing what it is supposed to be doing, but having to urinate every two hours around the clock is certainly interfering with my sleep. I did find a reference on Drugs.com that said increased urination was a rarely encountered side effect of this drug, but my doctors insist it doesn't have that side effect and I have spent a fortune ruling out other conditions."

"I am a 47 yo male who has been on 100mg of Pristiq for 2 years. First on 50mg then increased. I found I was sleepy for the first few months but nothing compared to the original symptoms like depression, anxiety etc. My only concern is the withdrawal effects. On one occasion, I went to Pharmacy on Saturday and they advised I needed a new script. I had to wait until Monday to get a script and they were the two worst days in my life....the withdrawal was chaotic, I argued with the chemist in a rage....never done this before...I called them an hour later sobbing and apologising for my behavior, I had awful flashes in my eyes and headaches that made a migraine feel like party.....I was frantic at the doctor on the Monday morning"

"This is a great medication with no side effects."

"Woke up in the middle of the night with a horrendous cough. I decided to take the some cough medicine and went back to sleep. It stopped the cough. Then I woke up in my own excrement (seriously), severe diarrhea. Heart palpitations, extreme dizziness, sweating and confusion. I almost went to the emergency room. I will never take this again."

"I took the 20 mg dosage. I was able to get about a 50% erection. However, I got hives mainly on the backs of my upper legs and the back of my head."

"Due to major anxiety and stress can't sleep before 6-7:30am was put on anti-anxiety pill and Restoril today. The anti-anxiety pill kicked in fast and made me kinda drowsy but the Restoril 30mg I just took 45 min ago doesn't seem to be kicking in. Should I take another? I do drink ale here and there but that should increase my effect not stop it right? Maybe I should get used to Vampire hours!! This sucks lol"

"I've been taking imuran for 18 years also prednisone Stopped prednisone 3 years ago. And started on alluropinal with Imuran For last 3 years. Have now stopped alluropinal because I've got urticaria they think it's alluropinal . This has been for 6 weeks just started it again 2 days ago and rash back very painful. Not sure what I will take with imuran now if anything. Don't understand. Also take Lipitor Zoloft I'm a diabetic also and take metforam and insulin nova rapid and lantus. Also aspirin. I'm 50 this year and it's worrying"

"I always had clear skin but then started getting breakouts on my cheeks and thought epiduo would help. Two weeks into it my forehead began to breakout horribly, and my cheeks remained the same. I stayed on it for 2 months and my forehead got continually worse and when on epiduo breakouts would not heal and left red scarring. A week ago I gave up and quit epiduo. MY FOREHEAD IS CLEAR and the marks are fading faster. My cheeks are still the same but I can live with my skin again. My skin hated epiduo and it only gave me more acne. If you can live with skin as is do not go on epiduo. It may eventually get better but you will go through hell first."

"Took Linzess for one month. Side effect is diarrhea so I stayed close to bathroom. Diarrhea tapered off. On day 31 diarrhea hit hard all day. I don't like the severe diarrhea. I skipped one dose and bowel movement was normal."

"First I had partial seizures (after head injury in 2004) and after grand mal 2014 I almost died because of status epilepticus. After that I am on Keppra 1000mg a day (500mg morning, 500mg evening) for 2 years now. First month or two I had headache and double vision, sometimes I was a bit aggressive but after few months it was ok. For me it is good medicine, now i have 10 petit mals a year and I think that bad-heavy weather changes is causing them. I want to tell you, that after first or second month side effects went away. For me it is important, that I take Keppra with good meal in morning and evening. It is good medicine, just do not give up. Love you all."

"This medicine is amazing. After suffering from pretty bad acne and trying every topical product out there (benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, tea tree oil, sulfur masks, etc.), I had pretty much given up all hope of clear skin. I started Ziana and saw no immediate results, but kept applying every night. A month later, my acne was significantly reduced. Two months later... I only have two small pimples that are in the stage of drying up. I highly recommend Ziana; it seems to be gentle on the skin. Keep with it! The results are amazing. I'm so much more confident. Good luck! P.S. I used in combination with doxycycline, which seems to significantly improve results."

"I'm thinking back to 2006 when I was first put on this drug by a doc. They promised me that it wasn't like methadone... They promised me ZERO withdrawal... "It's not addictive," the docs said. They started me out on 24 mgs a day. What a joke. Here I sit, ELEVEN YEARS later... Still hooked on this soul stealer. I am once again trying to stop on my own. It's been 48 hrs since my last dose of .5 mgs or maybe a bit less. Idk if I'm going to make it, but I want to. I want a chance to actually live my life. I'm 36 and I don't have any children. I wanted to have children... but felt it was irresponsible to get pregnant while hooked on subs. I hope it's not too late. The only good thing is that it kept me off the streets"

"I got nexplanon February 2015 at first my period was every 2 month which I loved. They are normal now. December 2015 I started gaining weight which I thought was just holiday so January I started exercising and lost 15 of the 30 pounds since I gained 10 back and and can't lose anything I diet exercise when ever my boyfriends not looking (I don't feel comfortable in front of him) and he's noticed the weight we got in a fight and he actually slipped up and called me fat. And said all I do is sit on my ass that's why I gained it. But I also got so depressed and cried over everything panic attacks every day and thought of self harm. The depression is gone now for the weight. I like it would give 10 stars except the depression and weight."

"I've been on 500 mg twice a day for two days. I'm supposed to take it for three more days. SEVERE side effects. I have extreme weakness, numbness in my left hand/arm, body aches, now severe pelvic pain, which I'm hoping is just a Yeast Infection, nausea, food tastes weird, I can only drink water with lemon because it makes the water taste metallic, severe fatigue. My doctor has been trying everything for Bacterial Vaginitis on and off for the past year, and especially the past 6 months. I know this will work (as Flagyl did in the past), I'm just hoping the side effects go away."

"I was prescribed valium for tension headaches. I have severe migraines and tension headaches. They could not find out exactly why I was having them, so we have to treat the symptom. Valium actually makes me able to function through some of the worst tension headaches. Before, I was spending so much time locked in a dark room between the migraines and tension headaches. I was missing my life and the lives of my children. It is really nice to be able to have a part in their lives and my own. I am thankful daily that I can rejoin the world again."

"I was a sufferer real bad of adult acne on my back, chest and chin, and this was the only thing that worked for me. Unfortunately I suffered a drug reaction from it that left my lower extremities (rectal itch, etc) that kept me up all night....it was horrible and it took a few months for it to subside with a lower dosage and antihistamines. Lower dosage worked better but it did eventually did damage to my kidneys which is a risk side affect of taking this drug. So be aware if you have weak kidneys DO NOT take this drug!"

"I am currently on 50mg of Seroquel in addition to other meds. It has certainly made a huge positive difference in my paranoid thinking and obsessive-compulsive spartanism. It has leveled out my wild swings between anxiety and depression somewhat. It works great on my insomnia too. It causes me constipation and aggravates my essential tremor, but its benefits are well worth the price. I have not yet experienced the increase in appetite it's known for."

"I have tried just about every option available and this medication has been the only one to truly relieve my headache AND allow me to feel "normal" so that I am able to function. "

"My doctor suggested that I take birth control so I decided to try out the pills first. She prescribed me lo loestrin Fe and I took it for about 3 months before I decided to throw them away. My acne became really horrible! I had never had cystic acne in my life. My skin has still not cleared up which is a real bummer and I'm pretty sure I'm going to remain with scars. Overall it did its job at preventing pregnancy. My period spotted for a few days the first month and I didn't have a period the remaining months. It was really great without period pains also. I am now going to try an implant and change the hormonal balances to tray and clear my skin ugh!!"

"Great experience with Femring and it's the only hormone replacement that works for me. Wishing it was not so expensive."

"It honestly helps a lot for my nerve pain, I get it super bad in my arms and It helps so much. I only notice the pain if I don't take it. I take right now 900 ml. I would be in so much more pain without this. It's a blessing. Also I for some reason never get tired from this. I never get tired or anything and can take it in the morning if I forget. It does nothing for my insomnia. Idk if I have a rare reaction to it or what, but my doctor finds it funny. Ha ha"

"I just got paragard not too long ago. And it was actually not as bad as I thought it would be. There was not excruciating pain at all. Just cramping. Anyone wanting to get it should most definitely do so. It's not as bad as some may say, but everyone reacts to things differently."

"Had this for IVF egg collection. I was so anxious reading that sedation you can be awake and it Can be painful. Boy was I wrong. I was under for 10 mins and woke up as though I have had the best sleep in the world no dreams, nada. I woke up feeling amazing. I had the equivalent of 2 paracetamol whilst under and have needed no other pain relief since the procedure. I feel better Than I have felt in a very long time. I think propaganda must have some really good anti anxiotic purpose for sure. I am now 24 hrs past procedure and still feel fab. Wonderful stuff!!!"

"I am 21 years old and have been on Depo-Provera for almost two years while in a four year committed relationship. My doctor recommended Depo-Provera for me because I suffer from chronic migraines so any birth control with a high level of estrogen would most definitely make my migraines worse. So far, I have to say I am pleased with my experience while on the depo shot. The side effects I have experienced have thankfully been able to be fixed/altered. Such as slight weight gain which I help to control with diet and exercise. Loss of sex drive which my longtime boyfriend is more than happy to help with. And I tend to start spotting around the time that my next shot is due. Once I receive the depo shot, within hours the spotting stops."

"My dad always raved about how wonderful this medicine is for speech anxiety and I am finishing up my bachelors degree.. Needless to say I put my 'Public Speaking' course until my last semester.. I took 20mgs an hour before my speech and did I nail it!! I wasn't nervous at all.. And I usually feel like I'm going to puke before a presentation! This is a miracle for me and I will definitely take it again for speeches later on! Would highly recommend to anyone with "stage fright" or fearful of talking in front of others!"

"I'm currently using Epiduo and have been for only the past few weeks. Although I have experienced the burning, stinging, redness and dry skin on my face I am already noticing an extreme difference in my acne, it has decreased an astonishing amount and has been the most effective treatment I have used yet. I highly recommend using the gel!"

"My daughter had severe PMDD. She is 13. At first I was hesitant about putting my 13 yr old daughter on birth control because of the social stigma that she may be considered "easy" or sexually active because she is on Birth Control. Yet, she and I talked about it and she is a very level headed conservative girl who needed help and wanted to try. This medicine has been God send for her and her PMDD. He periods are lighter, not as lengthy and there is minimal pain associated with her periods now. Not to mention her mood and anxiety levels have both improved more than I can mention. This medicine has made her feel "normal" again!"
