"I was on the birth control Ortho Tri Cyclen for about 4-5 months. It was the best birth control I have been on. I had finally found the one that best fit my body. My skin was flawless, even if I would forget to wash my face it would not break out. I also had light periods, they were not always regular but they were ve... | 0 |
"I've had this for 4 months, getting it removed next week. Non stop bleeding and cramps for the last 4 months. On top of that I've had pain in my arm where it is because I do a lot of lifting at work. It's been so miserable I'm so thankful to be getting it out soon. I wish I would've taken the ... | 0 |
"Works pretty well. I noticed a lot of people complain about getting off of Pristiq - my advice to you is to switch to another SNRI which you can decrease in smaller increments than 25 such as Effexor, Cymbalta, or Fetzima. Talk to your doctor. Mine thought it was a good idea. The other ones you can open and take pelle... | 1 |
"I have been on Pradaxa for 8 months now after having been on warfarin for 7 yrs. I have absolutely no side effects. I am not cold anymore like I was on warfarin and I also find scratches stop bleeding very quickly compared to warfarin. I had a dental procedure and only stopped Pradaxa for one day and no bleeding othe... | 1 |
"Kava is as close to the effects of Valium as one can get from a legal substance. It definitely is a direct muscle relaxant and definitely does it through the GABA receptors. However, there's no lassitude - no real euphoria or feeling of elation either - but to me that's the actual beauty of kava. It's G... | 1 |
"Have struggled for almost two years with pain when I eat and after numerous tests and several procedures/surgeries, mjy doctor told me to take Percocet. It works amazingly well.

"My son started taking this at 6, he was violent with family members, and would not pay attention in class, refusing to do homework, sometimes hitting other kids.

"Switched to Pristiq from SSRI after burning through most of the SSRIs and finding Wellbutrin was great but not enough. I had GeneSight and Pristiq and Fetzima were the only green a/ds that were green lighted. Started with 50, side effects waned after a few weeks, but didn't really kick in, so upped to 100 and low... | 0 |
"As of today I have received Botox for the forth time.

"This medication knocked out my anxious, OCD-driven ruminations unlike any medication or therapy I have tried. I was extremely hesitant to try it due to side effects. But it worked within an hour (at 0.5 mg) and the benefits were dramatic. I was still aware of the anxious thoughts in my head, but I could prevent myself... | 1 |

"I switched to Opana ER this year as the Morphine ER I had been forced to take since last summer made me very nauseated (even w/nausea meds), caused terrible headaches and didn't cover my pain adequately so I could live some sort of life.
I have loved the Opana ER. I take 40 mg twice a day and after the first... | 1 |
"I took this medicine for three months and stated to notice uncontrolled, constant muscle twitching in my feet and legs, that was 15 years ago. Try to imagine your leg muscles twitching 24/7/365 for the rest of your life, that's what I'm dealing with and it's horrible. I'd think twice before putti... | 0 |
"I have been having very frequent migraines that were not relieved by anything else. This medicine has been a lifesaver for me. Yes the shots hurt but it is well worth the effects of not having debilitating headaches." | 1 |
"I'm a 56 years old, 5'2" 230 female (or I was when I started Contrave).

"I started a cycle of doxycycline last June because of my horrible summer breakouts. I experienced dramatic results after about 6 weeks; my skin had never been clearer.

"As far as a birth control that'll do its job? It's been great so far. Side affects? Where do I start? Mood swings (I mean MAJOR), headaches (non-stop), irritable, tired (24/7), I just don't have much drive to do a whole lot of anything. Hasn't affected my weight or acne situation as far as I'v... | 1 |
"At first, I thought this medicine was working. I've been on every antidepressant known to man. Nothing ever worked. So my doctor gave me a sample pack. When I hit the 40 mg mark, I started have the "brain zaps." They are very real. Very frightening. One night I thought I was having a seizure in my sleep... | 0 |
"I've used Viibryd for a couple of years. 40 mg grew to being jittery, even with exercise. At 20 mg I have improvement. I'm much more functional.

"I am 25 and I have been on Depo-Provera for about 3 years. My mother is my doctor so she warned me about the weight gain. I somehow lost 5lbs once I started taking it. My weight has been up and down for the past 2 years but I don't think it is due to the shot. Its my love of food. Anyways, the shot is great; ever... | 1 |
"I am 39 and have never had PMS to speak of. I have been on birth control pills for over a decade (Estrostep, OrthoTricyclen) with no problems. Went on Gianvi and it was a nightmare.

"I was excited to start hormonal birth control as I hate condoms with a burning passion, and with such a high sex drive I was excited to not have to bother with condoms anymore. Started on the pill, and first of all, my boobs got SORE. Within a week my chest was very tender and a little swollen. Then, I had ZERO sex dr... | 0 |

Cons: If taken in mo... | 1 |

"After fracturing my L1,L2,L3,L4,L5 in a car accident two years ago, Dilaudid 4mg three times a day plus Methadone 10mg three times a day has been the ONLY combination that allows me to have a life.

"On the package, it clearly states, that of the view of the medication does not like it shows in the booklet, then discard it. So far in 6 weeks, I have had to throw 2 pens away. A very expensive procedure for me. Is there a method to recover the lost money or replace the defective pens?" | 1 |

"Very good medication. helps alot with the symptoms of psychosis.

"Doesn't drain me at all, quite the opposite--once I got the dosage right I was more awake, motivated and out of the dreaded "fibro fog," perhaps from less pain that seems subtle. This medication does nothing for "as needed" pain, but without realizing it I dropped opiod pain medication use by ... | 1 |
"I started .75 dose in November of 2016. It immediately curbed my appetite and helped me lose 37 lbs by Feb 2017. There is a little stomach discomfort sometimes but its not too bad. There is also constipation for about 3 days each week, but I believe its from the colon not moving anything. The med slows digestion. My e... | 1 |

"After hysterectomy, the hot flashes and night sweats were awful, and I had no sex drive/sensations at all.

I plan to reduce dosage as I c... | 1 |
