This medication is great for sudden panic attacks, it works in minutes. I get anxious on airplanes and in large crowds and this drug eases my mind. Although, be careful as it is very addictive.

I have taken Bactrim several times for urinary tract infections. It is inexpensive, has always been effective, and has had no side effects. Since it is only tewice a day, I don't have to take it to work or remember a mid-day dose.

I was prescribed Seroquel for insomnia related to depression. It instantly turns off my racing mind and I can sleep a successful 8-10 hour night without tossing and turning. The downside is a RAGING appetite, but if you can learn to keep it at bay, it's worth it.

After I went through a family crisis, I went back on antidepressants after a long period of not taking them. I was prescribed Lexapro. It does a good job at keeping my anxiety at bay and I find myself having less nightmares than I used to. It's a great stabilizer for me.

I was put on Paxil in high school through a very heavy bought of depression. It helped with my eating disorder/obsessive thoughts, but it made me really numb. I felt like a zombie for 3 years, I found it hard to laugh or get excited. And forget about a sex drive.

Midol is a miracle medicine for helping with many of the problems associated with menstruation.

Midol completely relieves cramps within a half hour along with curing the bloated feeling usually associated with menstruation. The 60 MG of caffeine in this formula helps fight fatigue, giving a quick jolt back to reality.

I experienced no negative side effects while taking Midol.

Zyrtec has helped me greatly with my indoor and outdoor allergies.

I began taking Zyrtec after trying several other allergy medicines. Most helped me with some symptoms, but not all. Zyrtec was the first and only medication that helped with all my symptoms. The fact that it is a 24 hour medication is also a plus - there's no carrying around a pill bottle and guessing when it has been four to six hours.

Zyrtec also freed me from the drowsiness felt with other allergy medicines. I can take Zyrtec and still continue with my daily activities without worrying about falling asleep!

Abilify was prescribed to me as an "add-on" to Prozac. I began taking it for depression and racing thoughts.

An hour after taking my first dose I developed a terrible headache that lasted almost a week. I felt it directly behind my eyes. It also made me incredibly drowsy for a week. After I adjusted to the medication, however, the side effects wore off completely.

I experienced astounding results with Abilify. Within the first five days I was less depressed and calmer. With the use of Abilify I have turned my life around. I found that the initial drawbacks of the drug - the headaches and sleepiness, were well worth the results. I had tried several anti-depressants, and none of them made a difference until I supported them with Abilify.

My experience with Prozac was less than satisfactory. I began taking the drug to counteract depression, and after using it as prescribed for two months, I still saw little progress. After the two months my doctor prescribed Abilify to work with the Prozac, and it was then that I saw an improvement.

My doctor originally thought that it was the medicines working together that helped, as Abilify is known to be a "booster" to anti-depressants, however, as he reduced the dose of Prozac, finally down to nothing, the results stayed the same. Prozac did little to help my situation.

Upon starting Prozac I had headaches for the first few days. After that I experienced few side effects.

I used albuterol to control my asthma. I have had asthma my entire life. It is induced by exercise and allergies. I have recently switched to ProAir. I have noticed that it does not take affect as quickly as other inhalers I have had. I have had no side effects.

Citalopram has certainly changed my life. I had a severe anxiety attack about four years ago. I was unable to be in a crowd, get on a bus, drive, or sleep regularly. I began taking Citalopram and my anxiety symptoms quickly dissipated. I have been able to live a normal life and complete a graduate degree. I have experienced very few side effects. One side effect I do experience is that I do feel a bit more tired throughout the day than when not taking citalopram. I sleep an average of ten hours a night, but this is well worth the benefits I have experienced.

My doctor prescribed me this as I had severe depression and anxiety. I had sleepless nights and hectic mornings. But this tablet gave me much relaxation at night as I used to sleep sound and my mornings were much better then. On the other hand I went dependent on this for my sleep.

I developed chronic depressive symptoms after being treated for Cushings Disease: sad-feelings, down times, fatigue, pain in joints, weakness. Initially I was prescribed 75 mg Effexor XR which I took in the mornings. My aches/pains and extreme fatigue were remarkably better in about 48 hours. This amount seemed to work well for 2 years, but I was experiencing increased anxiety and fatigue again and my doctor prescribed 75 mg twice/day. That helped and is the dose I remain at today. I tried taking 150 mg XR once/day but doesn't seem to work as well for me as 75mg XR twice/day.

I have a skin condition that some dermatologists say is eczema while others say they have no idea what it is. This skin problem has been with me my entire life, and I have used many different types of creams and ointments but have settled on the Triamcinolone, because it is the only cream that has the most effect. Although it may just be my skin, the Triamcinolone will work great for a couple of days then my rashes will come back after a week or so. I can't say that it is the cream not doing its job, but I do wish the active ingredient would be slightly stronger. Luckily, there are no side-effects at all.

I've only been taking Claritin-D 24 hours for three months and so far so good. Once the medicine takes effect, it does its job of lasting throughout the day. I've just recently developed allergies in the past year so allergy medication is pretty new to me. So far, Claritin-D 24 hours has been a good choice. My only complaint is that it takes a while before any effects show, but once it does it lasts throughout the day. Also, unlike other allergy medication, no side-effects!

It's actually my mom that is taking the Acid Relief, but I've lived with her day in and day out to know how she is with it. So far, after a year of taking Acid Relief, she seems to be enjoying herself more. There aren't any side-effects that are noticeable nor has she complained about it at all. She has been happily being her old self enjoying food as much as she can. I can't say that it is life-changing, but it has certainly made her happier. She also hasn't been complaining to me of any long term effects or anything else potentially harmful. I trust her word.

Prozac may have helped others greatly without side effects, but I guess I was one of the unlucky ones who is sensitive to antidepressants. I was prescribed Prozac, because I have a history of depression and suicidal tendencies. The first thing I've noticed about taking Prozac was that I get nauseous and dizzy almost immediately. It wasn't bad enough to severely interfere with my life, but always having to ask my boyfriend to drive me from place to place is a bother. I've also noticed there wasn't any changes in my mood at all. My psychiatrist mentioned that it may sometimes take up to three weeks before any improvement may be seen, but after 2 months of being on Prozac, I still haven't noticed anything. My depression and suicidal tendencies were still there. My psychiatrist then suggested a higher dose but mentioned that the dizziness may worsen. At this point, I was tired of walking around looking like I was drunk, so I just stopped taking it. I guess some are just luckier than others.

I have suffered from asthma for years without realizing it until my last doctor's visit. I have had debilitating coughing episodes that became worse with travel or environmental issues, such as smoke or dust. The episodes have made traveling burdensome and kept me awake many nights. Since trying Singulair I have been cough-free for a full month and feel great. I have no side effects thus far and will continue using it if none occur.

I have been active in sports for many years. I now have aches and pains in my shoulders and knee's from repetition. My doctor prescribed me some alternative medication, however I have found continued comfort from simply taking Ibuprofen. It is over the counter, and relieves my aches and pains relatively quickly. the pills are very inexpensive, and I try to take the lowest dose possible to relieve my pains. I am totally satisfied with the product!

Seroquel is the most recent of the drugs I have tried for my moderate depression. Everything else had pretty severe side effects. My doctor warned my about he possibility of weight gain with Seroquel. (That is another of my problems.) But, it hasn't been an issue. In fact, the Seroquel seems to be working. I feel better in general and don't seem to be eating to compensate. It is too early to say this is life changing, but so far so good.

It has only been four months, I will see what happens over the next few months. Some of the other drugs worked for a while, but this seems to be last longer than the rest without the side effects.

After being diagnosed with Diabetes, I tried a couple different brands of insulin. Finally, my doctor gave me the Lantus pens. Easy to use and I had great control of my blood sugars. I am even having more success controlling my weight. If it keeps up, I may be able to eventually stop using insulin completely.

Allergies were always a problem when I tried to participate in outdoor activities. After it got worse and worse, my doctor did a full evaluation and found an underling asthma condition. He suggested Avair Diskus. Just once a day and I can enjoy all the outside activities the rest of my family enjoy.

The inhaler is easy to use and the countdown feature mean I never worry about running out.

I've dealt with heavy periods since I was 12. I've tried several other forms of birth control pills including YAZ, but this one is much better.

The first 3 months do have some "surprise" spotting, but it's worth it. You only have 4 periods a year, and they are so much easier than what I went through before. No cramps, 2 days of bleeding - I can deal with that!

I have very mixed feelings about Zoloft. I had tried other anti-depressants to treat both depression and anxiety, but my psychiatrist recommended we give this one a go. We started with 25 mg per day, and that seemed to work for a few weeks. When it wasn't working anymore we increased it to 50 mg per day, but that also only worked for a few weeks. By the end of it I was taking 200 mg per day and even then it just didn't seem to help.

It didn't turn me into a zombie like the others did, but it didn't really treat my symptoms, either. One of the most negative side effects was lack of sex drive. It seems trivial, but often with depression your relationship with your partner is effected. While he was trying to support me, it was hard for him to understand why I didn't want to be touched.

I've battled with my weight for as long as I can remember. I tend to fluctuate quite a bit and the hardest part for me is always getting over the first 10 pounds.

In January 2009 I weighed 180 pounds - too much for only being 5 foot 3. I saw my doctor and I have lost almost 40 pounds. He monitored me every month to make sure there was consistent weight loss and that my blood pressure wasn't going up. I've read that some people experienced increased heart rate, and high blood pressure but I never did. If anything, it seemed like I just drank a cup of coffee.

This is not a long term medicine, but it did help me get over the hump and get motivated so I could get to my goal weight the healthy way.
