"I love it - Byetta has helped me lose weight and after I went to 10 mg I really have to be careful about HOW much I eat. If I eat a small portion I am fine, if I eat a large amount of food I get sick. My advice for people who are getting sick try eating smaller portions or eat right after taking your shot. I lost 6...

"Gildess Fe 1.5/30 has been nothing but a positive experience for me. I started on 1/20 and had random spotting through the month, but when I bumped up to 1.5/30 it was fixed right away.

"I haven't had an asthma attack since I started using Asmanex Twisthaler--nor have I had to use my Proventil for a flare-up. I am taking this medication instead of Advair or Singular because I have osteopenia. Asmanex does not deplete bone density as do some of the other medications for asthma."

"I was switched onto this drug after taking lorazepam (Ativan) which I was very happy with and had almost no side effects with. I started taking it combined with Effexor, and it was horrible.

"This medication was a lifesaver for me. I have chronic back pain and nothing else helped me deal with the pain, which caused me to also be depressed. Percocet allowed me to be normal and function, it did not make me drowsy at all. Unfortunately my doc wants me to take a break from it, I know it's good for my l...

"Great! I've had insomnia for over a year now, my doctor gave me dyphenadramine but it did not work.
