Definitely helped with my anxiety. More easy-going and less worried on a daily basis. I do notice dry-mouth and a decrease in my appetite.

Nasonex is an amazing product. I am the kind of person that has allergies year round. Ive tried many products and Nasonex has helped me. Stuffy noses where always a problem as well as itching. I use a directed amount and it is wonderful. I have used a little too much and it was very strong and burned a little. Overall the product is great and hope to use it for a long time.

I've had ADD as long as I can remember, but only around 4-5 years ago did I start taking meds for it. The first and only pill I've popped so far is Adderall, and it's worked a charm. Well, somewhat. I can now pay attention to things easily, get work done, and even have less signs of depression; but, I've dropped a good 15 pounds, have skin reactions (acne, rashes, etc) that I've never had before. Oh, and I'd have major lack of sleep if not for Benadryl.

So, it's a toss up. I find myself just taking the meds now when I am feeling some MAJOR attention / depression / lazy issues. For that the symptoms aren't so bad, and my life is a lot better.

I've been taking Adderall for as long as I can remember. When I was in elementary shcool, I had the hardest time concentrating, and was always hyper; I just couldn't sit still. After we found out I have ADHD, I was put on the medicine and it really does wonders. It keeps me awake for when I have school or work. I don't have any trouble concentrating or doing my work. It has kept me up late at night, and does decrease my appetite.

Since a teenager, I have had problems with anxiety. It got so bad that I would not allow myself to be a kid and go out and have fun. I worried about every little thing and felt like I could only stay in my house. Last year, right after my grandmother died, it got even worse. I would shake constantly and not be able to sleep. Finally I went to a doctor I trusted and told her my problems. She prescribed my Zoloft. The first 2 weeks were rough. I had dry mouth and ground my teeth, but after that the effects where just amazing. I actually feel NORMAL for once in my life. I feel balanced and can do whatever I want. It has helped my marriage and anger issues involved. Best thing I have ever done

I started taking Zyrtec for my seasonal allergies. I had the whole span of symptoms from a stuffy nose to coughing to watering eyes. Zyrtec definitely helped with the symptoms themselves. I had a marked decrease in all of them. However, Zyrtec made me so tired that I still did not feel well. My allergy symptoms were gone, but the symptoms of fatigue were added in their place. The end result was that I felt no better and was no more productive than I was prior to taking the allergy medication.

I was given Seroquel for a Bipolar II disorder and OCD. My doctor started me on 25mg and worked me up to 400mg. I did not like this medication at all. It made me groggy, and I felt like I no longer had my own thoughts in my head. I had a lot of nightmares, and the only thing it did to cure my manic feelings was completely zonk me out. I felt like a complete zombie. My doctor tried lowering the dosage, but this didn't help at all. I would never take this drug again.

I had been battling with minor depression symptoms for many years. A few years ago I decided all the crying for no apparent reason and the laziness needed to change. I talked to my doctor and asked her to prescribe something to make me feel normal again.

I cannot tell you the difference Cymbalta has made in my life. I no longer cry at the drop of a hat, mood swings are nonexistent, and I no longer make excuses to stay home instead of going out with friends or family. As a matter of fact, many family members and friends have commented on how much happier I seem and that they had been worried about me.

I did experience a little dizziness when first starting to take Cymbalta. Luckily it ceased after the first week.

I highly recommend Cymbalta for treating depression. It has literally changed my life for the better.

My doctor put me on this to help with pain I've been experiencing with rupturing ovarian cysts. It was very effective for treating the pain. The only thing I don't really like about it, is that it is more sedative than other pain medications I've been prescribed before. Which is great for when you take it before bed, but not when you're in pain during the day and need it.

Also, while I've heard that it's supposed to be easier on the stomach, for me it tends to make me more nauseous than other pain medications.

Overall I would say that this is a great alternative to hydrocodone, as it doesn't seem as habit forming.

the lamictal is a great med for seizures, i changed to lamictal due to having children, and lamictal is safe while pregnant.

I have been taking Effexor XR (150mgs) since 2003 for social phobia. I hesitated to put a rating on it, because there have been good and bad effects from this drug. I will start with the good.

Effexor XR changed my life in a good way. Coupled with therapy, the use of Effexor XR has made me able to talk to people, whereas before I was too shy to do so. Everyday social situations were too much for me before I began taking Effexor XR. I was scared at parties and at work to talk to people. Even people I knew, I was afraid that they were constantly negatively judging me. I was even afraid to use the telephone or to use public restrooms for fear of others judging me. Now that I've been on Effexor XR, all of that has changed for the better. I am able to go about daily life without looking over my shoulder to see who is watching me.

The reason I am unable to give Effexor XR a high rating is because I worry about its side effects. It has a short half-life and if I don't remember to take the medication at the right time, the side effects make themselves known quickly. The side effects that I personally have experienced are a tingling in my skin (this is the first side effect I notice) and agitation over little things; anything could set off my temper. If I forget to take it for longer periods of time, perhaps two or three days, I start to feel what people refer to as brain zaps, which is hard to explain, but feels as though the world bounces around me or as if my brain is banging against my skull. My advice to anyone thinking of taking Effexor XR: do your research and see if another alternative wouldn't work better before you get on this drug, because it's very hard to get off of.

I was on Effexor for about a year for depression, and had to stop taking it because of the cost. My dose eventually reached 75mg of the Extended Release Capsule. It worked wonders for me, and changed my whole perspective. While other medications had worked, this was top notch. I was stable, and didn't have that cloudy, overcast feeling to my mood. I could tell how effective it was, because if I forgot one dose, the drastic change in mood I experienced was intense. The only downside is when I stopped taking the medication. The withdraw symptoms are some of the worst I've ever had. I would wake up throughout the night drenched in sweat, but chilled. I was a totally different person, always flying off the handle. I was also on Trazodone, for sleeping. Lately I've also been taking Depokote, a mood stabalizer. I did not have any adverse side effects. Effexor worked very well for me, and I will be starting back up on the generic as soon as possible.

Darvocet is an excellent pain-relieving medication for me. I used it after a minor surgery that caused me huge amounts of pain and the Darvocet removed the pain quickly. Other than being a bit sleepy near the end of the day, I was able to function effectively using this drug. My speech wasn't slurred and I didn't feel foggy at all.

During my second term of college I began feeling really run down all the time. I was so tired I didn't want to hang out with my friends, and even walking to class seemed like too much effort. To make matters worse, my weight increased and my hair and nails were brittle and breaking easily. Not feeling or looking like myself any more got me to seek medical treatment.
My doctor diagnosed me with a hypo active thyroid and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. I began taking Synthroid right away, and within a couple months the difference was significant. Now I've been on it for years, and I can't imagine life without it. I'm the old me again- I have energy and feel great!

This works well for my allergies. I have suffered from allergies most of my life and some seasons are worse than others. With Allegra, I am able to finally see! I used to get watery eyes so much before. I haven't really noticed any bad side effects just positive ones. I will definately continue taking this medication.

I was started on Seroquel around 1998. At that time I was suffering from depression with psychotic features. At first the drug made me sleepy; however, after a few months that side-effect went away. I found that I could take the medication at night or in the morning and never felt drowsy. I did gain a lot of weight while on this medication, but have started a diet and exercise program, which is helping.

Before Seroquel I was on SSDI. Now I am working full-time and going to school. I was accepted into a PHD program and hope to finish in about 3 more years.

It feels good to have my life back on trak. Seroquel made that happen.

I used this medication after undergoing oral surgery to remove all wisdom teeth. The medication was very effective in removing the pain. I was unable to have a solid sleep and was extremely thirsty when on this medication. I also lost my appetite and experienced some nausea. In order to continue with the medication to suppress the pain, I had to cut the pills in half to limit the side-effects.

wORKS GOOD, SIDE EFFECTS ARE MINOR ed

I have been using Yaz for the last year without an incident. It was recommended to me by a close friend who had started taking birth control before me. Before I started taking Yaz I had horrible cramping but now cramps are virtually non-existent and the flow of my period is much lighter and easier to cope with. I had no negative side effects at all taking Yaz. I don't think I will ever change my prescription as long as I'm still taking birth control. Like my friend did to me I would recommend Yaz to all ladies having issues with their birth controls or for women who are just starting.

It is no exaggeration to say Diflucan is a "wonder drug"! Side-effect free this drug works instantly clearing up unpleasant yeast infections within a day or so. Any woman who suffers from frequent urinary tract infections has probably experienced the common yeast infection that often follows a round of antibiotics. I always make sure to have my gynecologist call in a prescription for Diflucan any time I am on antibiotics.

I took Effexor for at least 2 years to help treat depression and anxiety coupled with psychotherapy. I had already taken 3 other SSRI drugs that seemed to work for awhile but did not seem to continue their effectiveness over the long term. The same was true for Effexor.
I must also report that the side effects were not desirable. Night sweats and ringing in the ears that sometimes had a strobe effect that also caused strobing in my brain. (That is the best way I know how to describe this weird occurrence that reoccurred for months after I weaned off all medications.) The side effects seemed to be a ceiling I could not break through to continue to get better.
I do much better now through the healing of Jesus Christ and have to give God the credit and glory

I have been an Advair user for at least five years. Basically, with me, Advair is a drug I need to remain on indefinitely. I can stop using Advair - I'll be okay for about two years - and then I'll end up in the hospital. So, I NEED Advair. Before a drug like Advair, asthma sufferings were stuck with inhalers that were just temporary relief sources. Advair is different. I take one puff a day (down from two) and I can breathe normally all the time - including when I run, since I am a runner. Advair has changed my life. I no longer fear that I will have an asthma attack. I no longer have to carry inhalers with me. The only side effect of Advair is that you must make sure you rinse out your mouth and brush your teeth after every puff.

Singulair is a non-steroidal allergy medication, one of the reasons I take it. Most prescription asthma and allergy medicines usually contain steroids which make them risky for long term use.

I have asthma and suffer from seasonal allergies and have been taking Singulair for years. Without it I'd need to use my inhaler much more often. This medicine works when taken daily long-term, or seasonally as needed. I'm definitely breathing easier taking this medication.

Allegra didn't do much for me. I found that my allergies were still just as bad as they were before. Claritin works much better for my than Allegra.

I took this med. It felt like an elephant was standing on my chest and my arm was aching. I stopped taking it as soon as possible. I was taking it for high blood pressure.
