"I'm 51-years old and was skeptical regarding ADD or ADHD. A counselor urged me to get tested. I agreed to do it because all I wanted was help. I no longer cared what the answer was for whatever was wrong. I only cared if it worked. So, I did the test and was told I was "off the charts" the highest score...

"Part 1: I am a fifty year old woman and I have had weight problems my whole life. I cannot take diet pills as they make me very sick and I've tried many other things to try to lose weight (I'm not very good at this as I LOVE food and hate exercise). Until recently I have never been able to find anything ...

"I'm not sure why this medicine is referred to as the "poor man's Soma" because I was taking Soma and my Doc prescribed this for better and longer lasting relief. I am a 6'2" 300 lb bodybuilder and Soma wasn't doing anything. I took this for the first time last night, and it worked!...

"I've just started taking Imitrex, the first time I took it, I thought I was getting lock jaw. I was quite worried. I took it again the next day though because it did take care of my headache. Since the first time I took it, the side effects have been minor. Hopefully it stays this way."

"Allegra stops the drainage and the annoying need to clear my throat (post nasal drainage). But I'm dizzy these last couple weeks since I've started it.

"I've been on this medication for 5 months now and I love it! I had a little bleeding between my periods the first month or two, but now nothing. And my periods are so much lighter! The only problem I have is that it's about $40 even with my insurance, but otherwise I love it!"

"I had UTI, usually it goes away with OTC Azo and water, but this time I could not get rid of it. So I went to the ER. They gave me Bactrim. 2 a day for 5 days. I took the entire round of them and nothing changed. The medicine itself made me sick as a dog. I could eat with it or not eat with it and it didn't matte...

"No side effects and back to work in a couple of days. Using voltaren and some intense home treatment reduced swelling and pain dramatically. When taking this drug the faster you get moving the better it works so don't sit around hoping for miracles."

"I'm 14 years old with OCD. I tried Prozac and it just made me make decisions that weren't like me. Ive been on Zoloft for awhile and it's really helping. I haven't obsessed at ALL. I just don't overthink and I live a great life."

"I had been taking Belviq for 4 days and lost a total of 4 pounds! Now 4 pounds may not seem like a lot, but for a person who has been struggling to lose weight ALL her life, that is a major milestone.

"I'm a 22 year old male with a horrible case of ADHD. In the past I've taken Adderall which made me absolutely nuts.

"Started at 25mg the first month - no effect. Moved to 50mg for another month - no effect. Taking this is like taking a sugar pill. For 1/10th the cost, I can go back to oxybutynin and regain control. I liked the absence of the dry mouth, but the absence of the control is worse. I say "no effect", but it did ...

"This somewhat reduced my restless legs syndrome (which occurs every other day and is enough to keep me up at night and be bothersome); however, this gave me insomnia, specifically causing me trouble falling asleep and once I was finally able to fall asleep, I would wake up once every two hours or so."

"So I got Nexplanon just under a year ago.
