186,926 | Benzaclin | acne | "So I used this for four night. As per dosage I used a super small amount. 3rd application my face burned really bad. Next morning I woke up with a rash on my cheeks. 4th night I avoided the irritated area but woke up the next day with a full face of eczema. I'd caution you, if you have eczema and your doctor still prescribes this (as mine did) be careful! Now I have a full face of steroid cream and my acne is still there☹️. It did seem to be making some effect before the whole huge eczema outbreak." | 2 | June 14, 2017 | 3 | 100 |
229,847 | Fycompa | seizures | "Having tried 7 other medications none of which controlled my seizures I was happily surprised that a dose of 4mg of Fycompa does. More than 12 months and no seizures. Luckily I have not experienced suicidal thoughts. The only side effects I experience are a little aggression and tiredness but only very mild." | 10 | December 31, 2015 | 20 | 53 |
185,281 | Saxenda | obesity | "I've been on saxenda since Nov 14.
I am pretty proud of myself and I've lost 5 lbs. so far.
Since starting on saxenda I have been trying to exercise more. I am a caretaker for my husband so I really have not been able to go to the wellness center 3 times a week to work out. Maybe 2 times so far and right now I'm dealing with recovering from surgery myself. I'm eating better but haven't gotten completely on a regular diet regimen. I try not to stress about it and take it a day at a time. At least I'm losing and not gaining." | 8 | December 5, 2017 | 3 | 107 |
170,904 | Quetiapine | insomnia | "I was prescribed 75mg of Seroquel for insomnia. It worked like a charm, for about the first week. Then it made me sleep too much. I was sleeping 12-14 hours a day and was still waking up groggy. As well as gaining around 25 pounds in a matter of 2 months my physician and I both decided that it would be better to stop taking it. But I still will keep the rest of the medicine I have just in case there are one of those nights that I can absolutely not sleep. Great medicine, just not for me." | 8 | July 20, 2011 | 20 | 99 |
201,961 | Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin | acne | "I was prescribed duac after getting very bad acne after coming off the pill. This was very unusual for me as I'd never had bad spots and it didn't run in my family. I found that my face was extremely oily all the time and was giving me large horribly pustule spots.
I was given 3% duac as I was told the 5% would make the skin very dry and 1% may not work so it would be reviewed and altered to see how it went. I noticed changes immediately after 1 week and my skin has been flawless and I've even had compliments on it!
For the people saying it made their skin too dry I could suggest maybe getting a lower % and only apply it once a day as I do at night time after washing my face. It honestly works wonders I couldn't recommend it more!" | 10 | March 28, 2017 | 19 | 150 |
139,869 | Euflexxa | osteoarthritis | "I started using Euflexxa several years ago while training for a half marathon. Having a previous meniscus tear, I wanted to err on the safe side for the training, especially being in my 60's and overweight. About a year ago, I experienced another meniscus tear and recovery was difficult at best. It was to the point I was begging the Dr. for a new replacement. A second opinion confirmed I was definitely a candidate. I toughed it out. Therapy, exercise, losing 40 pounds, continuous stretching, massages have paid off. Even though I limp a little and stiff in the morning, replacement is off the radar. I'm now going back for more injections before the end of the year. They are a little pricey but definitely cheaper than a knee replacement." | 10 | October 10, 2015 | 41 | 130 |
84,801 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "I wish I could give this medication a ZERO. I had been on Ortho Tri-cyclin Lo for 8 years with no side effects. My insurance switched me to Sprintec and I only took it for a week when my entire face broke out which never happens to me, I had horrible head aches and developed an ulcer which I'm not sure is related." | 1 | May 7, 2016 | 7 | 63 |
100,695 | Orlistat | obesity | "I've been taking alli for 3 weeks (only on week days with a bit of cheating at the weekend) and I've lost half a stone. You won't get any nasty side effects as long as you limit your fat intake to less than 15g a meal and avoid high fat foods. It's not a miracle drug, you can't just take it with an unhealthy diet (you will get the side effects then!) but with a healthy diet and exercise it increases your rate of weight loss. I think it's worth the money." | 7 | August 3, 2017 | 24 | 92 |
44,625 | Asacol | ulcerative colitis, maintenance | "I've had ulcerative colitis now for 28 years. I took Asacol during all my three pregnancies with no side effect. I did have a major flare-up after the first delivery though despite the Asacol. My ulcerative colitis is now completely under control, so much so that my doctor said that my colon looks completely healthy. I take 4 tablets per day, I do forget occasionally, but it has worked miracles for me. I can also eat everything." | 10 | October 3, 2010 | 49 | 77 |
49,729 | Gabapentin | bipolar disorde | "Gabapentin (Neurontin) made me sleepy, helped only a tad bit eith my anxiety, and did nothing to help with my mood swings. I might as well have taken a sugar pill as a mood stabilizer. When I stopped gabapentin, I threw up/was nauseous, dizzy, had chills, could not sleep,vand my whole body was in pain for WEEKS- And I even tappered off it, not cold turkey. Dtay away from this evil stuff." | 2 | August 29, 2016 | 23 | 72 |
209,797 | Aspirin / butalbital / caffeine / codeine | headache | "Works like nothing else I've tried. There is something about the combination of Fiorinal and Codeine III that neither has alone. For neck injury with chronic pain, this works for me much, much better than the heavily regulated medicines that are considered to be much stronger." | 10 | October 4, 2011 | 25 | 46 |
45,957 | Fluoxetine | panic disorde | "I started experiencing panic attacks a few months ago, so bad that I thought I was dying each time I had one, my college NP prescribed me Prozac, the first month of taking it was HELL, my anxiety defiantly increased and I had more frequent panic attacks, my doctor said this was normal and to stick with it and I did! Let me tell you it has changed my life, I am able to function normally now and even though I experience some anxiety, I am able to manage it. Prozac has just made me a genuinely happier person and I recommend it to anyone with anxiety, especially with panic attacks and depression." | 9 | March 20, 2014 | 156 | 113 |
190,550 | Butorphanol | pain | "I have had migraines for over ten years and have tried all of the preventative medications. They just do not work for me. When my migraine hits and the nausea and/or vomiting accompany the migraine, I find that this nasal spray quickly and effectively eases the pain. I think that being able to administer it nasally is great since my nausea is so bad that I am unable to keep anything down long enough for it to take effect. It is a very strong medication and I am unable to operate a motor vehicle after taking it, so I always lay down in the dark with a cool rag over my face. This is, to me, the most effective medication I have taken for this kind of pain." | 10 | September 5, 2009 | 7 | 128 |
177,725 | Duloxetine | back pain | "I started taking Cymbalta about 6 months ago, and I'm finally starting to feel better. I have chronic lower back pain, and have previously been prescribed Hydrocodone/Tramadol, which basically was like putting a carrot on a string for my brain to be preoccupied. The only down fall I have experienced is the terrible night sweat. Is there any relieve from it?" | 8 | January 25, 2015 | 33 | 61 |
44,342 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "I just want to point out that every girl experiences different things with all types of birth control. About the pill Tri-Sprintec I've been on it for over a year and it's been great. I'm 19 and I got on it because my fiance and I became sexually active. I never had a regular period and this fixed it right up. It also got rid of my acne. I actually lost weight and went from 115 to 107. I have not gotten pregnant and I don't have mood swings. I do get a sweet tooth and a salt tooth sometimes. Before I start my period my breasts get tender and I get emotional but once I begin bleeding both are gone. I do want to say that if you catch yourself craving more food just get some gum." | 9 | November 6, 2010 | 21 | 138 |
217,226 | Clarithromycin | sinusitis | "2 pills a day for 7 days. Wow. I am finally done taking this medication for an ear infection that was caused by a sinus infection. I had almost all the side effects listed, sadly. Heart palpitations, headache, nausea, hunger pains, acid reflux, insomnia, diarrhea and metallic taste in mouth all night long! Unreal. It's my last day and although I feel better, I now feel like I am recovering from all the side effects of this drug! My advice is to take it with a lot of food and probiotics! You will need to find a way to counteract all the side effects! I'm not sure it's even worth taking, to be honest. Heart palpitations alone made me feel like I had a heart attack waiting to happen." | 3 | June 6, 2017 | 8 | 129 |
151,739 | Chantix | smoking cessation | "I quit with Chantix in December and have not picked up since. I have thought about it, but then I smell smoke and I want to throw up. I smoked for almost 40 years." | 10 | May 23, 2014 | 58 | 34 |
111,073 | Verapamil | migraine prevention | "I've had migraines for over 30 years and have tried so many things. My doctor started me on Verapamil 240mg 3 weeks ago. I've had no relief. If anything my migraines have been more intense. This was pretty much my last chance as I have tried everything else. I average 12 to 15 migraines a month and am so tired of them. I was so hoping this would work. I'm going to give it a little longer but am getting night sweats and dizziness from it." | 1 | November 1, 2015 | 23 | 86 |
199,420 | Depo-Provera | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I've been on depo for almost a year now. It's had its ups and down. Ups would be not having periods, no babies, and unprotected sex!!!!! Downs would be the red/brown spotting, weight gain and back pain (what I'm experiencing at the moment). The weight thing is a little weird. I usually weigh around 159-163, and I gained about 10 pounds and recently lost them from going to the gym and eating less fast foods. Overall, it's the best BC method. Keep in mind all that I described doesn't happen to all women, we all vary." | 8 | April 12, 2015 | 15 | 96 |
111,794 | Relafen | muscle pain | "I had a severe inflamed left arm. Many medicines did not work. I then took Relafen, one tablet one hour before bedtime with food and then at bedtime I took another. The next morning the inflammation, which was in my whole arm, was gone and I was able to pinpoint the area of the inflammation with pinpoint accuracy. I was operated at that spot. A few years later I had a severe inflammation in my right foot. It would not go away so I then took the same dose that night. The next morning the inflammation was gone.
" | 10 | April 27, 2011 | 44 | 99 |
141,472 | Escitalopram | depression | "Lexapro seemed to do some things to help with the negative thinking I had from depression, but it had the side effect of making me extremely tired all the time, which was enough to counteract any of the positive benefits I was getting from it. Zoloft ended up being the better medication for me." | 6 | November 24, 2013 | 46 | 54 |
111,732 | Gianvi | menstrual disorders | "I've been taking Gianvi for about three years, and have never experienced any negative side effects. I've noticed my periods have gradually become shorter and lighter, decreasing from about 4-5 constant days of heavy/moderate bleeding to 2-3 days of moderate bleeding and another day of light spotting. Additionally, prior to taking Gianvi, my periods were fairly painful for the first two days, but this medication seems to have helped dramatically with my cramping. Now I typically only experience one day of cramping, and sometimes it's so light that I don't need to take painkillers. Finally, I always know the exact day my period will begin. Gianvi has made my periods so much more manageable, and as an added bonus, my acne cleared up too!" | 10 | July 12, 2017 | 1 | 124 |
34,047 | Zoledronic acid | osteoporosis | "I have osteoporosis at age 49. I had reclast on March 5, 2015. The side effects that I have experienced have been extreme. About 4 hours after the treatment I felt a crushing sensation from shoulders to hips, difficulty breathing. Movement made it worse. Went to ER, Drs. administered by IV, Benadryl and steroid. I have experienced bone pain throughout my body, at times not able to move without pain. That has past after 2 1/2 weeks. I have extreme tingling, itching, redness in my entire body. Doctor put me on prednisone and hydroxyzine. This has not helped me. I am unable to sleep due the itching. Has anyone else had these side effects? If so then what did you do to take care of it." | 1 | April 12, 2015 | 77 | 126 |
11,745 | Trulicity | diabetes, type 2 | "This was my 4th week taking trulicity .75 the 1st two wks went ok, the 3rd week I started having severe pains in my stomach, severe nausea, hives, diarrhea. The 4th week was the same but worse, I broke out in hives from my head to my feet, had welts all over me, I just got back from the hospital last night because of it. And it's still doing the same thing the next morning, I wake up with severe stomach pains, nausea I belch an tastes like rotten eggs, diarrhea, and the itching, hives everywhere! ! Ended up having to take prednisone and benedryl for the hives rash, Zofran and acid reducers for the sickness and vomiting. It makes food lay in my stomach and doesn't let it digest. Please DO research on this medicine if it is offered!!" | 1 | January 23, 2017 | 32 | 140 |
65,074 | Hydrochlorothiazide | high blood pressure | "I have taken it for about 4 or 5 years on and off. I had stopped for awhile because my bp was fine but started this last year because I suddenly have elevated bp again and some swelling. It works fine for me at 12.5. I had a doctor prescribe 25mg and I had the leg cramps , some dizziness , dry eyes. I realized that is because I am dehydrated. If the medication is dehydrating you I would say you are prescribed too high of a dose. Once it was decreased all those side effects went away and I do not swell and my BP is better. If you ever complain to a doctor and they tell you just keep taking it and you don't feel good about it, follow your gut feeling." | 8 | April 2, 2017 | 67 | 134 |
46,237 | Modafinil | hypersomnia | "I was dx w hypersomnia after having a sleep study. I usually fall asleep fine but wake up many times throughout the night, resulting in extreme fatigue during the day. I have excellent "sleep hygiene" ) usually go to bed and get up at the same time, have cut out caffeine and drink plenty of water and so on). I'm a nurse and student, both while being a single mother of two; I asked about this medication because I want to be more efficient with my schooling. In have no problems reading, but retaining information was difficult, also falling asleep during meetings at times. This medicine has helped me keepnfocused without the stimulant effects of feeling wired. On days I don't do schoolwork I try not take it, so my Tolerance threshold lowers." | 9 | August 30, 2016 | 3 | 133 |
220,172 | Amitriptyline | interstitial cystitis | "I started at 10 mg on this, but quickly went to 25 mg, as the pain was too much. Now I´ve levelled it to 20 mg per day, in the evening, and it has been wonderful, This, along with a careful diet, have helped and almost put in remission my IC symptoms. Side effects for me include grogginess, but that´s wearing away the more I take it and, for sure, a huge spike in my apetite, which I´ve had to be careful about as I don´t want to gain weight on it. It´s not a miracle drug, but it worked for me, and I think anyone suffering from this condition should give it a try." | 9 | June 18, 2015 | 36 | 115 |
225,430 | Bupropion | major depressive disorde | "Bupropion has been great for me. I was on escitalopram for a few years and thought that was the best thing I'd ever taken because it really kept my symptoms away and I wasn't so sad all the time. My dr became concerned that it was making me gain weight, so he switched me to bupropion even though I was REALLY scared to go off what I felt was my lifeline. Well, it was the right thing because I'm now not only not depressed, I have almost quit smoking entirely, I have more energy, and I realize that I was in a fog for years which I'm finally coming out of. It is amazing. I hope it doesn't stop working like everything else has...only reason for 8/10 is it is hard to sleep sometimes." | 8 | November 3, 2014 | 14 | 134 |
69,906 | Pyridostigmine | myasthenia gravis | "I had lost the use of my arms and hands, couldn't swallow nor chew....had double vision and often lost the ability for speech. Doctors believe it had progressed nearly 4 years before diagnosed. Within a couple of hours of starting the medication, functioning began to return. I take 3 60mg. tablets per day and am able to function quite well now." | 9 | October 11, 2015 | 33 | 61 |
69,505 | Buprenorphine | chronic pain | "I was scared to try this but saw these reviews... I want to thank you all for easing my mind! I finally tried Butrans and am so thankful this exists. I have been on pain medication for a couple years. I was so tired of the constant ups and downs that seemed to come in shorter and shorter intervals. This patch works great! I'm in less pain, sleep better, and am finally getting off the couch and doing some things." | 10 | August 29, 2014 | 124 | 80 |
184,545 | Rosiglitazone | diabetes, type 2 | "I have been taking 4mg once in morning for last 8 or 9 years without any problems. Weight is staying stable within 5 lbs /- for the last 8 or 9 years. " | 10 | April 24, 2008 | 36 | 33 |
187,842 | Digoxin | atrial fibrillation | "Please, please, please, help educate patients and families about this medication. My father had been on it for a number of years and developed a toxicity this summer. He passed away within 2 weeks of my taking him to the ER for toxicity. WE had never been informed of things to watch for, he had been taken off of the medication, but then put back on it by mistake by medical professionals at the hospital, at double his previous dose. Reading all of this information available makes me very sad that we were not informed and should have been. Be as proactive as you can!" | 3 | October 19, 2009 | 99 | 105 |
21,772 | Guaifenesin / pseudoephedrine | cough and nasal congestion | "I have suffered from allergic rhinitis all my life: dry swollen sinus; sinus pressure; headaches; blurry vision; dizziness; lethargy; all sorts of cognitive problems because of the lack of oxygen to my body and brain due to thicken mucus in my respiratory system; not to mention frequent bacterial infections due to accumulated mucus secretions. I had tried every other medicine under the sun. Mucinex has taken all that away and my quality of life has improved 150%. I strongly recommend Mucinex for those with sinus problems due to allergic rhinitis, or anyone who suffers from sinus any sort of respiratory congestion period." | 10 | April 14, 2013 | 35 | 102 |
157,069 | Differin | acne | "This gel has been a life saver! I went off birth control last August. My acne was out of control. I tried differin and I noticed a change immediately. I've been on it since August 26th. It's now October 14th and my skin is clear and glowing. I even went off of it for a week to see if there would be a difference and all my acne did come back gradually... so I recommend this to anyone willing to try a new acne cream!! I'm Canadian and I go out of my way to pick it up in the US when I visit. My only complaint is that my skin is a little dry, just moisturize an hour after application to reduce sensitivity." | 10 | October 14, 2017 | 7 | 124 |
210,971 | Mirtazapine | depression | "I have been taken 30mg for depression. It has not lifted it completely but I do feel a lot better. The only downside is the increase in appetite. I have put on 1/2 stone in 2 weeks. So not sure I am going to stick with it as the weight gain is adding to my depression." | 5 | November 6, 2015 | 26 | 56 |
22,151 | Baclofen | cervical dystonia | "I have severe cervical dystonia. I was on Zanaflex for years. It helped reduce the amount of pain. Then my liver levels got high, Doctor took me off of Zanaflex. He prescribed Baclofen in its place. It's horrible. Doesn't help pain, stiffness, anything really. Huge disappointment." | 1 | June 10, 2016 | 14 | 46 |
170,042 | Quetiapine | depression | "My doctor prescribed this for depression. Mood- wise, it helped and I also slept like a rock. BUT In a matter of 8 months I managed to gain 25 lbs... which my doctor did NOT tell me was a huge side effect. I stopped taking the medication and now I cannot sleep at all. I have been off of it for three weeks and still no luck." | 3 | September 3, 2017 | 4 | 67 |
226,629 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "In February 2014, I decided to get the Nexplanon implant (doctor recommend over copper IUD, simply because I had not had kids and he was afraid my uterus would Easily reject it) and overall, I'm satisfied with my birth control. ALTHOUGH!.. Since having the implant I have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety and intolerable anger issues, which I won't blame completely on the implant but if anything it enhanced it enough to be put on medication, which I needed before hand just never went on. Some weight gain, but again doubt it's Nexplanon related. The ONLY thing I do not like that is 100% the implants fault is constant, light, spotting. Very aggravating, but hey, the implant gets the job done!" | 8 | June 7, 2015 | 5 | 121 |
13,900 | Bydureon | diabetes, type 2 | "After 10 years on Oral medications for Type 2, I was finally advised to go on injectable Bydureon. I am adverse to needles and never injected before. I have been injecting for 3 weeks. First week, was trial with no issues to report. Second week, I had a injection sight reaction- some bruising which faded over a number of days. Third week, no issues. I have not seen most of the negative side effects. No sickness, No Nausea. I did notice that the medicine makes you feel full, but it did not take away my appetite. I had did have some mild heart burn. Not sure if it is associated. The Pen/Needle is larger and a little more intimidating. I have not seen any significant improvement in my glucose control at this point." | 3 | December 6, 2016 | 13 | 133 |
120,309 | Montelukast | asthma | "I started this medicine about 5 years ago. Sometime in December of 2014 I started experiencing terrible separation anxiety, general anxiety, and depression symptoms. After about three months of my boyfriend helping me work though these experiences I remembered that this medicine has possible side effects listed as mood changes. On my last visit to the doctor in the second week of April, my doctor took me off this medicine. Since I stopped my side effects have mostly subsided. I've always been an emotional person but i'm no longer having massive screaming, crying, crippling breakdown.
I'm 17, it worked great for my asthma but the cost (my mental health) out weighed the gain." | 5 | April 30, 2015 | 19 | 113 |
112,599 | Vimovo | rheumatoid arthritis | "This pill worked great for me ..I had terrible knee pain and could hardly walk, but then I was feeling bad and found out my platelets dropped from 152 to 77 taking this medecine.. I had to stop.." | 5 | August 22, 2016 | 10 | 38 |
216,765 | Rosuvastatin | high cholesterol | "I was switched by veteran's administration medical hospital along with all va patients from lipitor to rosuvastatin mid 2000? I am 66 and my cholesterol is under 160 with lipitor it barely stayed at 200 I was very excited at the recent results from rex hospital in raleigh, nc." | 10 | April 16, 2015 | 6 | 49 |
5,985 | Flecainide | atrial flutte | "Kept me in regular sinus rhythm but after three years on the med I failed a stress test due to QRS widening, a potentially fatal heart rhythm irregularity. Doctor states it was caused by the medication" | 4 | May 22, 2015 | 19 | 36 |
23,768 | Saphris | schizophrenia | "I've been on this medicine for about 6-9 months and its a wonderful drug. No more paranoid thoughts or delusions. I'm on the max dose which is 20 mg. It made me sleep for 12-14 hours a night at first but not anymore." | 10 | October 2, 2017 | 2 | 43 |
111,129 | Verapamil | supraventricular tachycardia | "I have been taking CALAN SR 120 for over 10 years now. My episodes of SVT occur at most a couple of times a year and then for short duration. My pharmacy issued me a generic once because CALAN was not available and I had SVTs almost daily. I was very glad when CALAN became available again. I would not like to be without it." | 10 | December 18, 2010 | 17 | 65 |
152,013 | Chantix | smoking cessation | "I just reached day 28. I have insomnia and the occasional stomach ache. I do have the occasional "vivid dream" but not too much out of the ordinary. I was a pack a day smoker for about 10 years. Since the end of week one I have had maybe 4 cigarettes. By day seven I was down to 4 a day. This worked great for me and I plan on taking it till month three then I'm going to go it on my own." | 10 | February 16, 2011 | 2 | 84 |
31,877 | Miconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "First I must thank everyone for their testimony because I am certain you all thought something was completely wrong with u for experiencing the burning side effects of this medicine, I certainly did. Some of your stories cracked me up and helped me feel much better about the fact that I'm not the only person experiencing this unGodly burning. I swear my vajayjay is angry. Thats what it feels like...pure anger down there. I'm only on day one of the 3 day monistat and I was for sure not going to go through with finishing the other 2 but I will now that I see all of these common stories. Here's to wishing this pain isn't all in vain. Hope it works" | 5 | August 14, 2015 | 15 | 122 |
123,919 | Skyla | birth control | "So it'should been about a year since I've had my Skyla inserted. I did have some major cramps the day of insertion,but since then A BREEZE!!! I did not have to have any adjustmentsuggestions since the intial insertion. No complications that I am aware. My period last have been predictable, regular, and even shorter (dare I say). Loving it!!! Also, since it was consider preventative medication it for

3,171 | Nitrofurantoin | urinary tract infection | "I get UTI's 2-3 times/year and I made an appointment with my doctor to get meds, but she was unavailable, so I had to see another one. (New doctor=different medication than the last time)
I'm starting day 3 of this antibiotic and although I'm not in pain, I still feel uncomfortable down there. A previous medication I've taken, I felt fine by the next day. I know it can take a few days for the medication to take full effect, but compared to previous meds, this one doesn't work as fast.
Side effects: It might not be from the medication, but I feel just really drained and tired. TAKE WITH FOOD! I've noticed several reviews where people said they experienced nausea. I take the medication after I eat and I haven't had any issues at all." | 8 | December 9, 2016 | 4 | 136 |
186,324 | Desvenlafaxine | post traumatic stress disorde | "I had to write a review on this one. I have tried everything possible in the past and nothing has worked this well for me but this med. I was suffering some horrible symptoms of ptsd and it completely was dibilitating to my life, career, social life, and even started to effect my health. I had gone through a rough phase with extraordinary life circumstances as well as serious difficulty coming to terms and adjusting with drastic changes and past trauma haunting me daily, even waking up from dreams with full blown panic attacks. I feel balanced out on this med, my functioning has been restored, so relaxed and calm, able to sleep at night, no more panic, and increased resiliance to stress, please give this a try if you suffer from ptsd......" | 10 | January 27, 2012 | 41 | 133 |
222,480 | Kyleena | birth control | "I had the Kyleena inserted about 4 months ago and I am very happy with the results. I am only 18 years old and have never had sex or children so I will say the insertion was incredibly painful because I am not used to anything going inside me besides a tampon. The cramps afterwards only lasted that same day and were bearable and pretty much gone 24 hours later. I have only had one period since the insertion which was the whole point of me getting it because my periods came more than once a month and were very heavy. Since getting Kyleena I have very dull and barely even painful cramps during a period and not as much vaginal discharge either. I will say periods become a bit unpredictable but I haven't even had it a full year yet." | 9 | August 2, 2017 | 3 | 141 |
178,026 | Duloxetine | depression | "I have been taking Cymbalta for depression and have been on it for almost a month. I have noticed a change in my mood. I am starting to feel better about everything. I don't feel like I'm walking around in a fog anymore. I felt really tired for the first couple of days and mostly slept, but now I'm feeling much better. I haven't felt any other side effects. I have taken other medications for depression, Paxil, Celexa and Effexor. Paxil and Effexor didn't work for me at all and the Celexa worked for about a year and then, didn't work at all. I hope that Cymbalta will keep working for me, because I don't want to change medicines again. Cymbalta is working for me already and I hope things will become even better the longer I'm taking it." | 7 | February 20, 2012 | 22 | 139 |
220,587 | Amitriptyline | pain | "I have had chronic upper back pain for almost 15 years and have tried diazepam, ibuprofen, tramadol and finally codeine. The codeine were the main ones which worked but I noticed I began taking them when I had no pain and realized I had become dependent very quickly with awful withdrawals when stopping them. My doctor had also prescribed me with Prozac for PMDD which gave me an irregular heartbeat. She decided to take me off codeine and Prozac and give me a low 10mg nightly dose of amitriptyline instead. What difference they have made. I've believed for a year that only codeine would work for pain and they helped with my mood too. How wrong I was! Amitriptyline keeps me pain free and I sleep like a baby and wake up feeling so refreshed!" | 10 | July 26, 2013 | 151 | 135 |
146,578 | Tamsulosin | overactive bladde | "Tamsulosin keeps me sexually active with more energy but after 2 months of taking the medicine one a month my memory started going blank for one to two minutes and I could not talk or remember anything at all for the two minutes.
I decided to stop taking Tamsulosin and I returned to normal.
When I came back to US the Dr. did all kind of test and they were normal." | 10 | August 28, 2014 | 33 | 71 |

I was prescribed Casodex as a forerunner to Zoladex LA (to avoid Tumour Flare. I was then lucky because I managed to rid myself of the Secondary Cancer by June 2009.

Mixed episodes are my main presentation of bipolar disorder. I tried Lamotrigine and many antidepressants, all they did was fueled my mild delusional manics and another times was mixed. I was on carbamazepine and lithium, it was good but I developed allergic reaction to carbamazepine and fueled a month and half long of constant hypomania mood and doctor put me on Trileptal. For the first time I am able to feel content without any explanation. It is a great medicine, you don't feel side effect and being content, that's a dream to me." | 9 | February 19, 2013 | 127 | 126 |
75,327 | Vistaril | anxiety | "I was prescribed Vistaril for bad panic attacks, as needed. I was put on Celexa, and less than an hour after taking it, I felt extreme fear and had the worst panic attack I've ever experienced. I called my doctor immediately and was told to go ahead and take the Vistaril. It calmed me down in less than 15 minutes. It did however, make me so drowsy that I found it impossible to stay awake. Thank goodness I have it on hand for my next attempt with Wellbutrin." | 8 | June 2, 2014 | 87 | 88 |
175,434 | Augmentin | bacterial infection | "My 16 month old daughter was prescribed this for an ear infection, her first ear infection ever. She's never been on antibiotics before. This drug is tearing up her insides. We're on day four of ten and I'm not giving it to her anymore. Going to the dr today for other options. She's been crying, screaming, writhing with stomach pain and I feel like the cure is FAR worse than the ear infection!!! Wish I'd known how strong it was before I picked it up. Horrible!!!" | 1 | December 30, 2016 | 13 | 86 |
167,081 | Levonorgestrel | emergency contraception | "On April 30th and I had an accident. I woke up the next morning freaking out because we didn't use protection and I had just gotten off my period 3 days before. How irresponsible I know. The next day at around 2 pm I went to purchase Plan B ( 14 hours after accident). I took the pill and took a nap woke up and my body and breast were extremely sore for about 3 days. A week later I spotted for 2 day got my period again on May 7th which scared me cause of implantation bleeding. I kept getting abdominal pain for a month but kept patient and finally got my normal period May 30 I week late. So ladies don't worry about it you'll be fine ! It's a lesson well learned for me :)" | 10 | May 30, 2016 | 10 | 138 |
133,802 | Bactrim DS | acne | "I have been taking this medicine for a week and my pimples are significantly smaller, which is a plus because I've had severe acne for 3 years now. The only problem is that it gives me insomnia, sweats, headaches in the mornings, stomach sickness, and nausea. The side effects are brutal, and I'm considering finding another solution. This is the third acne medicine I've tried and has helped the most, but also affected me the most negatively." | 5 | December 27, 2012 | 26 | 77 |
157,852 | Accutane | acne | "I'm on my fourth month of Accutane and can honestly say this has changed my life. Four months ago, my confidence was literally non-existent. I couldn't look people in the eye, I hid away from everyone even my family as much as I could, I hated going out in public. My acne wasn't severe or cystic but when you have pimples on your face, you feel like that's all people are looking at. After reading so many scary things about this medicine I was really hesitant about going on it. But I couldn't be happier that I did. I've experienced only dry lips, skin and eyes which is pretty easy to control with a good moisturizer. I sometimes (rarely) experience minor back pain. But its so worth it everything is worth it. I finally have my life back!" | 10 | March 20, 2014 | 86 | 138 |
72,758 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "I freaking love Minastrin 24 Fe! I was on Loestrin before, and when the generic came out, was happy to save money, but even better than that, now it's FREE with my insurance! Plus, I've been on this for, I don't know, 8-10 years, and don't have periods. At all. It's awesome! No periods, no cramping, no hormonal issues. Yes, I have women ask how can I tell if I'm pregnant, but I just don't worry about it. I use the pill and my husband uses a condom, and honestly, I had more worries about pregnancy before, because if you were a day or two late, it was total meltdown time. Now, it's just a non-issue in my mind. There are no negatives to this pill for me." | 10 | September 1, 2015 | 15 | 128 |

94,547 | Abilify | major depressive disorde | "On the 2 0r 2.5 mg as an add on to Trintellix. Definite noticeable improvement on mood and energy. No weight gain. The effects seem to be intermittent, so I'm hopeful my dosage will be increased on the next visit to my P-doc. It shows potential of being a life changer for the positive. I think an up to 5 mg may do the trick :) Great there is a $4 generic for my insurance." | 10 | November 18, 2016 | 13 | 75 |
959 | Rituxan | rheumatoid arthritis | "I have had 2 infusions of Rituxan for rheumatoid arthritis. Within 4 days of the first infusion I was beginning to feel better. I am 5 days out from my second infusion and I can already move with little or no pain for the first time in over a year. For me, its been a life saver." | 9 | March 6, 2009 | 223 | 57 |
138,694 | Phentermine | obesity | "I just started today. I weigh about 240lbs and need to lose about 100lbs, about 20 lbs at a time so it might take me awhile. I have taken phentermine in the past and lost about 15-25lbs. I want to lose it again." | 6 | October 12, 2011 | 5 | 43 |
72,096 | Tramadol | restless legs syndrome | "I tried everything to stop this rls and nothing worked. I would be up all night moving my legs up and down and then it started moving to my torso and I could not take it no more being up. I was finally given tramadol for my back issues but found it worked to quiet my rls. I only get 50 mg and I live normally now with it. I can't tell you of the sleepless nights I have had without it. I only take one in the morning and one in the evening. It lasts for me but sometimes it doesn't for real long periods of time. I would rather take tramadol then gabenton that is horrible! I also have nerve damage from my diabetes and it also relieves that pain needles too. Thank god for this to regain my life back." | 9 | December 15, 2014 | 25 | 143 |
106,330 | Implanon | birth control | "I have had a great experience with this birth control compared to other alternatives, including progesteron and estrogen only BC pills. Insertion was painless, and left no scar. I did begin bleeding 2 weeks after and was pretty much constantly bleeding for about 4 months, but it gradually began to taper off, and now I am experiencing more frequent periods but with less volume. There are many complaints about this side effect which initially turned me off, but this is a natural reaction that requires some patience. I would take a little blood compared to migraines, risk of blood clots, hormonal imbalances, or an unplanned pregnancy, which are more common with other BC options. I have also experienced decreased anxiety and more regular moods." | 8 | January 4, 2017 | 6 | 124 |
108,916 | Nexplanon | birth control | "Nexplanon started off great but after about 6 months, it was the worst decision I had made. I tried to ride it out because I thought it would get better but it never did. My periods last almost 3 weeks with heavy bleeding the entire time, and constant moodiness and fatigue. I am scheduling an appointment to get it removed!!!" | 3 | June 15, 2017 | 1 | 60 |
118,538 | Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole | helicobacter pylori infection | "I have been taking Prevpac for a week now, and the horrible abdominal pain is long gone. :) However, I am experiencing rather unpleasant back pain as a side effect. I have been stretching like crazy trying to mitigate it, but it doesn't seem to be working. I am using ice packs and a portable tens unit to deal with it. While not fun, it is a whole lot better than the agony of an h. pylori infection." | 9 | March 19, 2015 | 13 | 78 |
53,402 | Demerol | pain | "I was prescribed Demerol by my dentist this morning. I have to have oral surgery tomorrow. I took a 50mg tablet and waited for the pain to subside. It didn't so I took another one. Still no luck. I called my dentist back and she told me to take 2 which I did. Still not much relief." | 6 | March 30, 2010 | 15 | 57 |
215,430 | Copper | birth control | "I've used paragard for 9 months. But since then my weight has been going up. I've gained 4kg after the insertion. I know it is claimed that paragard is non hormonal and will not cause weight gain. but I really need to check around if any of you experienced weight gain like me. My period are better than before though. shorter and lighter." | 7 | October 12, 2017 | 4 | 63 |
213,075 | Phenelzine | depression | "I had been in and out of the hospital for many years, tried all classes of anti depressants and even several in different classes, BICYCLICS, TRICYCLICS, then most of the SSRI's. After continuing to get worse, my doctor and I decided to try ECT (shock treatment). I received 13 treatments (and no, it was nothing like One Flew Over The Cookoo's Nest lol) but it also didn't help at all. Thirty years burning down the road, nowhere to run, got nowhere to go... he, as a last ditch effort, tried Nardil and to almost sound trite, I pulled a full 180 degree turn around.
There were a few side-effects, some weight gain and a lessor libido and difficulty to orgasm, though if you knew me now, you'd know NONE of these side effects exist any longer!" | 10 | November 5, 2017 | 6 | 136 |
143,901 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "i had the bar placed in on may of 2014, since then ive had extremely bad depression which i had to go on medication for. and when i got on the birth control i weighed 90 pounds on the dot now i weigh 137 pounds and that weight is the hardest to lose. but with that said i go the bar placd in for free from my school health center, i haven't had my period at all, and this form of birth control works really good. my side effects wont be the same as everyone else. but i highly recommend the bar. i rather have the extra weight for the three years rather than a child to take care of for 18 ." | 8 | August 23, 2016 | 6 | 123 |
100,546 | Desogestrel / ethinyl estradiol | birth control | "I had a baby 12 weeks ago and have been on Apri since my 6 week postpartum appointment. I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and my periods have always been VERY irregular. I also get a few whiskers that grow on my chin from the PCOS. Since starting the pill I have noticed that those whiskers aren't growing anymore, also I have regular periods, my sex drive is normal and I have not gained any weight! INFACT I have lost 20lbs since starting it and have not changed my diet or exercise routine. I love this pill, this is why I rate it 10! Oh and after having 3 children there is a BONUS I am not pregnant." | 10 | October 10, 2012 | 23 | 117 |
110,637 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I have had nexplanon for 6 months now. I love the fact that I'm not pregnant, but that is literally the only good thing about it. I am tired even if I sleep all night and half the day, I have ZERO sex drive and the majority of the time I'm in a bad mood. I have also gained 15 lbs...I have always been slender..and now I have worn sweat pants for the past 6 months because none of my clothes fit. I've considered getting it removed, but with 2 children already I'm hesitant to do so. Hopefully my husband won't divorce me in the mean time. I recommend this to anyone who doesn't want a period, but doesn't mind spotting the majority of the time." | 5 | December 7, 2015 | 9 | 126 |
89,202 | Celexa | anxiety and stress | "Best. I started taking this and thought oh this isn't going to help me... It was maybe 2 months in and I didn't feel different. After about 4 months taking it I was a completely different person when it came to my anxiety and panic attacks. I completely stopped having them and I was just overall a more stress free person. By far one of my favorites.. I recommend this to anyone that has very bad anxiety and doesn't want to be on something addictive like benzodiazepines." | 10 | August 29, 2016 | 97 | 87 |
175,110 | Linaclotide | irritable bowel syndrome | "After reading reviews, I was skeptical on taking Linzess when my doctor prescribed it. However, I am now so grateful that I am on this medication! I have not had any side effects and it is working perfectly for me. I take it at the same time every morning, drink lots of water, have breakfast, and within a half hour or so, I have a bowel movement. Some days one, some days another shortly after, then I feel great the rest of the day. I used to have terrible stomach aches and headaches before Linzess, it seems to have all gone away now for the most part. Obviously depends on the severity of your problem, but Linzess is a miracle pill for me!" | 10 | November 22, 2013 | 61 | 123 |
8,838 | Viagra | erectile dysfunction | "I am a 61 year old male having trouble getting erections for intercourse. Gets half way and boom gone. Dr gave me Viagra 100 mg take a half and works good tried a fourth of one does not work as well. Works well and no side affects. This has giving me confidence back and enjoy sex again.

132,864 | Loestrin 24 Fe | acne | "I have been on this medication for almost a year. Before I was on Lo Loestrin I had very painful cramps that kept me in bed for at least 2 days every month. This medication has helped to stop those cramps completely. I never have a period and it is the best thing ever. For some women I think that they would be freaked out by not cycling, feeling as though the blood is "trapped" inside them for some reason, but this medicine works by not releasing any eggs, which means the uterus does not need to shed. If I had to complain about anything it would be acne. I have never had acne, especially on my forehead and chest, and it seems like ever since I started taking this medication I constantly have tiny pimples on my chest and forehead." | 8 | January 20, 2017 | 2 | 141 |
202,682 | Hydroxychloroquine | rheumatoid arthritis | "I have been on plaquenil for almost 3 years now. Along with RA, I also have Fibro Lupus and Scleraderma. I tried Methotrexate and it made me very sick so RA doctor said to just take the plaquenil. Since being on the med I have a very hard time staying well. What I mean is I catch every virus, cold, flu coming and going. I have now been sick since Thanksgiving and just recently was told that I have pneumonia. I thought that if I took myself off I the plaquenil that my immune system might somehow perk up and be better. Well I have been off of the plaquenil for almost 2 weeks now and good Lord was that a mistake. I had forgotten how bad I hurt before the plaquenil...I am back on it now and have no plans to stop taking it again." | 8 | January 29, 2017 | 21 | 146 |
201,913 | Sitagliptin | diabetes, type 2 | "I have been on Januvia for about 7 weeks and have had diarrhea the whole time. I'm also on metformin and between the 2 I don't think I've had a solid poop in weeks but my blood sugars are down from 25 to under 10 most days. I have gained weight 15lbs and I can't handle the cold this year, always getting chilled. I also have to take mine with food otherwise I get an acid stomach all day no matter what I do. I will be talking to my doctor to see if there are other options or if the benefits outweigh the negatives." | 5 | October 29, 2011 | 70 | 105 |
115,799 | Divalproex sodium | bipolar disorde | "The generic Depakote immediately and effectively controlled my mania, and smoothed out my moods. In combination, I take two anti-depressants, Wellbutrin and Lexapro (both generic). This 3-prong regimen is very effective for me in controlling my bipolar disporder." | 9 | January 18, 2017 | 6 | 38 |
123,840 | Skyla | birth control | "I've had my skyla for three years. Its soon to come out and I probably will never get it again. My periods are STILL so so irregular. Some times I don't get my period for months and then I'll get my period for 15 days or longer with days in-between I don't bleed at all. I never know when its finished or when its coming." | 2 | December 26, 2016 | 5 | 65 |
131,065 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "FINALLY! It is relieving to see positive comments after finding nothing but negative remarks. I recently got the Mirena and yes, I have experienced a few side effects.
However, from what I understand they are nothing out of the ordinary. I am not overly excited about the acne or the nausea, but I think the key for MOST of us that have recently had the Mirena inserted is to give your body time to adjust. Hopefully the majority of us will have a positive experience. One thing to keep in mind: It is possible to experience side effects with most medications. That doesn't make it a horrible drug for all." | 9 | June 15, 2009 | 61 | 110 |
224,198 | Budesonide | crohn's disease, acute | "This has been a miracle medication for me. The cost is a bit high, but the benefits out way the cost. I receive the same benefits as I do from Prednisone, however, with none of the side effects. It works very fast for me. I really think people who have to use prednisone should reconsider and try this medication for moderate flairs. I have had Crohn's disease for 33 years, this is the only medication (except prednisone) that has worked ever so well. " | 9 | May 20, 2009 | 79 | 84 |
195,519 | Aviane | birth control | "I personally was on Aviane for about 8 months. The first 3 months were pretty much flawless. I had a problem with my appetite to begin with, gained some weight and dropped it shortly in the next coming months. Didn't experience any acne or stomach nausea. After three months my period got progressively worse. I had intense cramps and felt down right miserable. My entire body ached. Aside from feeling awful I was miserable to be around. I had mood swings I've never had before. Aviane was driving me crazy on my periods. I felt like a different person. My friends, family and boyfriend could even tell I wasn't myself. Just wanted to put this out there if someone was curious there are other options." | 10 | February 17, 2016 | 8 | 125 |
122,106 | Venlafaxine | anxiety and stress | "I have used a few different antidepressants over the years, but when I started getting panic attacks my Dr put me on Effexor. It works well for me. Missing a dose is the worst thing though. If I wake up in the morning feeling hung over and dizzy and useless, I know that I forgot my pill the day before. It takes several hours after taking it to begin to feel better. I recently switched to taking it at night because then if I miss a dose the horrible side effects will come at night and I can just take a pill and go to bed, but am finding that if I don't take a sleep aid, I am up after 3 hours (like right now) and end up having to take a nap the next day. I am thinking that I better go back to taking them in the morning." | 8 | March 20, 2010 | 50 | 151 |
61,613 | Citalopram | depression | "I have struggled with bouts of depression my whole adult life. Now that I have 3 children, I realized how my depression spats could and was affecting them. Short fuse, drinking too much in the evenings, inconsistent parenting responses. I am also high strung and type-A, and have a dormant eating disorder. Gave citalopram 20 a try and for 2 weeks, I felt like everything was worse...I was nauseous, extra tired all day (even though I took it at night), crying jags and lack of stamina or enthusiasm. Then, everything changed! Life is good, chaotic and full. I am my best me. And I love sex! There is peace now in my head, which makes me more productive, less self-deprecating, and much more patient." | 9 | September 28, 2016 | 21 | 124 |
223,317 | Cetirizine | urticaria | "52 y/o Well I have had hives for 2 almost 3 weeks now on my face scalp neck..cause undermined and I never had them before. I was put on pred-Metra-soul pack that I quit due to the extreme side effects. A sedative. I used a heap of ear and eye drops. Was taking Benadryll. I just wanted to claw my skin off..the welts were painful and then became HORRIBLY insanely itchy. One or three would go away only to be replaced by 4, eyes and even ears swelled shut. Tried Zertec after 3rd doc visit. Felt good! ITCHING STOPPED..still some swelling around one eye but given how bad it was this is like a miracle. Just took a second one today and tho still a LITTLE residual swelling- 95% better. NO SIDE EFFECTS either. This drug is a god send" | 10 | November 20, 2015 | 21 | 140 |
133,045 | Loestrin 24 Fe | menstrual disorders | "I was on Lo Estrin for a year. At first it was great. Then my period stopped completely, except for spotting all month long. It constantly made me feel pregnant. My breasts would hurt, I'd feel nauseous often, and the fact that I wasn't getting a period gave me great anxiety. Furthermore, I was experiencing anxiety regularly, and developed a sort of hypochondria- where I thought I was sick constantly. I think it was because my hormones were so out of whack. I am now on a higher hormone pill and don't have anxiety issues anymore. I really think this pill was my issue." | 2 | May 23, 2012 | 12 | 104 |

109,647 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I read so many bad reviews about nexplanon before getting it, but I kept in mind that everyone is different and so far its been great! I've only had nexplanon for about 2 weeks now, and so far so good! no side effects other than not getting a period which is great ( was supposed to get it a week a go and it did not show up). no mood swings or depression YET. insertion did not hurt at all, my arm was bruised for about 4-5 days but it didn't hurt. I will be back to give an update in a couple of months. it does not work the same for everyone, everyone's body is different, but I would definitely recommend this." | 10 | September 7, 2016 | 4 | 123 |
90,335 | Desloratadine | allergic rhinitis | "Horrible, Massive waste of money and it just doesn't work I tried to use Sudafed spray instead which helped heaps. The only people I would recommend this medicine to is if I want them to suffer." | 1 | August 10, 2015 | 2 | 36 |
42,828 | Xulane | birth control | "Been on Xulane patch a week and my vaginal dryness from the depot is completely gone! My libido has greatly increased too. Before, it would take everything in me to even want to have sex, but not anymore! The only off thing is that the past two nights after dinner I get very nauseated and have lots of indigestion and burping. My cravings for kit-Kats has also increased, which tells me that it really does mimic some pregnancy signs. I bled almost every day on the depot and now that I'm on the patch I feel great!" | 8 | October 26, 2016 | 12 | 97 |
167,515 | Levonorgestrel | emergency contraception | "I just wanted to share my experience with the skipped period side effect that can happen with this pill. I have taken Plan b twice before this last time and had experienced no side effects those times. This time I took it the day after my period ended, When it came time for my next period to start there was nothing. I searched online and it seemed a lot of people posted about skipped period but never followed up to say if they got there period or not. I took 3 pregnancy test and all came back negative. I skipped 1 whole period and then the next month my period came right on time. So if you experience this same effect and your test come back negative, dont panic. See your doctor if you have to or just wait for your body to get back on track" | 10 | February 20, 2016 | 2 | 147 |
177,304 | Duloxetine | anxiety | "Took for 2 years. Seemed to help with GAD after a month or so, and was taking in conjunction with alprazolam. VERY expensive med, so I strongly suggest finding a prescription discount card or coupon ($41 was the cheapest I ever paid-WITH my insurance it was $75)! Do NOT miss a dose or you will get what I call "zilches" (feels like a painless yet bothersome & annoying electrical shock feeling from your shoulders to your fingertips). After I stopped taking it because I just couldn't afford it, and it didn't seem to be helping anymore, it took about a month for the "zilches" to go away. Again, they're not painful, just a very weird feeling. also caused some weight gain. Starting Effexor ER tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes." | 8 | February 3, 2017 | 14 | 131 |
6,881 | Aluminum chloride hexahydrate | hyperhidrosis | "This changed my life. I read reviews before giving this a try and thought "well these people must not sweat as badly as I do." No, these people were all correct. This is like a miracle drug. I used to be able to stand outside in 20 degree Fahrenheit weather in a t-shirt and my armpits would be sweating. Now I can actually dress for the weather and not have to worry! I can wear long sleeves and my down jacket and NO SWEAT." | 10 | November 23, 2016 | 8 | 84 |
