166,449	Levonorgestrel	emergency contraception	"My boyfriend is in the military and we had sex the day before he left. We aren't planning to have kids soon so I took the pill the day after and I got my period a week later. It works great and I didn't have any side effects."	10	October 20, 2016	9	48
207,899	Suprep Bowel Prep Kit	bowel preparation	"Well, just finished going through the first portion of the Suprep. I must say, it was very difficult to drink. The taste is awful. I had to put a cup with Gatorate next to the cup with the preparation, so I could drink a sip between each time that I took a drink of the Suprep. But it really has worked. I was terrorized with fear, but I haven't had any cramping or stomach ache at all, no nausea, no headache, and except for the terrible taste, the experience hasn't been bad at all. This is my first time getting ready for a colonoscopy, and I was glad I found this site before I started, it eased all of my fears by reading all the other comments. Thank you for having this site up. It helped me a lot. Hope I am able to help someone else."	10	July 12, 2015	36	147
156,611	Dulaglutide	diabetes, type 2	"Started on Trulicilty low dose last Thursday and 2 days in I got the chills and body aching esp my back and hands now I have developed a cough and the back of my neck hurts. I have to inject another dose tomorrow let's see how it is hope this isn't the reason why I'm sick cause usually I'm never sick and I got my flu shot. As I'm writing this review review but now I feel like crap. But blood sugar is good fasting today was 93"	6	February 25, 2017	14	88
182,241	Elestat	conjunctivitis, allergic	"I also used OTC drops for years. After they were no longer effective I was given these for daily use. Living in the Deep South, you just about have to have a bottle of eye drops during spring and summer."	8	July 1, 2011	0	40
86,144	Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate	bowel preparation	"The worst colon prep I have used. It caused bloating, slight nausea, growling stomach, and stomach cramps. I lived in the bathroom. Never ending. Taking one bottle and having to consume about 42 oz of water within one hour AND THEN having to repeat the process six hours later."	4	August 2, 2015	6	49
92,406	Ondansetron	gastroenteritis	"I can say I use to be a jealous husband because when our daughter gets the stomach bug I sometimes got it. There is a 50/50 chance I would get it and my wife NEVER gets it. When I found out about zofran it saved my life. I'm already a hypochondriac when it comes to the stomach bug, I hate it because as a child of the 90's there was no such pill and I always got the dirty bug. Now I take zofran when my daughter throws up or someone touches me with it just incase so I don't throw up and it always works because I stay upset stomach free. Just boggles my mind why docs never give it to patients, someone told me about it that's how I knew about it."	10	November 28, 2017	0	134
55,153	Bupropion / naltrexone	obesity	"I've been on contrave for about 7 weeks now. I've lost roughly 33lbs. In the first month I easily dropped 20lbs. I eat less than 1400 calories a day, but I am extra aware of what I put in my body as to not be unhealthy- lots of protein, steamed veggies, and staying hydrated. All that being said, I will say the side effects were murder for me. I had/have pretty much all of them on the list of possibilities. Nothing that I can't handle though, nothing overly severe....I just wouldn't call it a 'fun' experience. I exercise regularly, but the majority of my changes have been to my food. It pretty much takes away superfluous hunger, so I only eat when I truly need to. I'm so happy to have found something that works."	8	April 2, 2016	47	135
97,214	St. john's wort	depression	"I have been feeling down breaking stuff angry I don't know what's going on within myself I yell at everyone I went to see my doctor she wanted to give me drug's. I rang my aunt she said try something natural so I called in to our chemist They told me to try Go Healthy St john's wort so I did and it has calmed me down I have been on it for 3weeks now and take it every second day try it"	10	November 29, 2016	42	83
128,336	Phentermine	weight loss	"I started using the 37.5mg phentermine on Dec 1, 2015. It is now Dec 4 and I am down 5 pounds. My doctor told me to start at half a pill for the first 4 days so I haven't even experienced a full pill a day yet. I take it around 7:30am and it lasts all day. My appetite is completely gone - I have no taste for any food so I have to force myself to eat something. I do get very dry mouth though and my heart races all day. And although I have energy during the day I do get tired around 8pm. I haven't even incorporated any work outs yet so I can only imagine how fast it will come off once I start adding workouts. I drink more water due to the dry mouth so that is a good thing. Nothing has ever worked like this before. The best!"	10	December 4, 2015	23	154
170,301	Quetiapine	generalized anxiety disorde	"I've been using seroquel 25mg 4 times per day as needed since September of 2001 and it is still very effective with both my anxiety and depression. I did gain about 10 pounds using it, but I am still well within my BMI range and am physically active and can control my appetite. This med is possibly the best one that has ever been prescribed to help both my anxiety and long history of depression. My one important concern is that my white blood count is slightly lower than it should be and has been lower for 6 years now. I'm hoping my white blood count does not drop lower and stays where it is."	9	July 19, 2016	33	115
127,709	Phentermine	weight loss	"I started taking Phentermine 37.5mg early January 2017. As of today, 3/26/17 I have lost a little of 30 lbs. I don't really exercise, but I am a stay at home mom of four so that keeps me pretty busy. But I did cut my calories to around 1,000, maybe a little more, per day. My only problem with this drug is the bladder side effects. I feel like I don't empty my bladder all the way and seem to have to use the bathroom more than I used to. I'll be starting to take half a tablet next week and then stop the drug all together by the following week. Praying I can keep up with my weight and not gain any back. :)"	10	March 27, 2017	16	125
176,903	Promethazine	sedation	"I was given 25mg to take night time. I found myself waiting hours before it kicks in. Everyone said the next day how well I looked however my brain was a bit fuzzy the following day. I shall use this drug to create a sleep routine and then only use it sparingly for emergencies of sleeplessness. I found myself sleeping through the night for the first time in years."	5	September 20, 2017	4	69
98,152	Nexplanon	birth control	"Hate hate hate it. I had nexplanon put in Oct 2014. Gained over 50lbs and was loosing hair by the hand full. It took over 6months and a general surgeon for me to get it out. Although very full proof, the side effects are not worth it. Never again. Pills for me."	3	July 22, 2015	1	52
80,080	Benzonatate	cough	"Totally useless drug. Took 100 mg/3 times a day for 5 days Some relief from hacking cough for a few hours but cough returned much worse. Will see my MD tomorrow for another medication. Total waste of time with this medication."	1	January 22, 2017	7	41
147,079	Alprazolam	anxiety	"I use this infrequently, but it's been effective each time. I take for anxiety and high stress situations, but also to calm my brain so I can get a good nights sleep! Works fast and slows me down but in a good way."	8	January 13, 2015	17	43
9,489	Lo Loestrin Fe	birth control	"I started taking Lo Loestrin Fe as a form of birth control. Within the first week, I had cramps, tender breasts, and break through bleeding. By the time the second week came, I realized that I started getting a little more emotional, crying at things I normally wouldn't, getting offended over little reasons, etc. In week 3, I woke up so nauseous that I almost threw up for 4 days straight. By the time I was halfway through my second pack, I was a complete lunatic. Screaming at my boyfriend over the stupidest things, not thinking reasonably about ANYTHING, crying for no reason at all. I stopped taking this pill and within 2 days felt COMPLETELY better. I am now on a different pill and do not have this problem. I dont recommend lolo"	1	May 31, 2016	2	134
138,166	Ortho Evra	birth control	"I've been using the patch for about 2 months, so much easier than remembering to take the pill! Just stick it on and go. The only problem I've had with it is skin irritation(hives) on my back where I put it but easily solved by putting it on a different area next time! I haven't put on any weight bonus."	8	January 29, 2012	1	60
181,301	Prozac	anxiety and stress	"I have taken prozac for one year and three months. It has helped me a lot. Right now I am weaning myself off of this drug slowly, but lately I have felt mild anxiety due to no sleeping. And also mild stomach problems. I'm not sure if its part of the withdrawal process."	8	December 12, 2015	34	53
227,934	Etonogestrel	birth control	"I got the Implanon 41/2 months ago and let's just say I don't hate it but I don't love it. The good part was it made my period super light and a few times I didn't get my period at all. I have always had really bad cramps when I got my period, but when I got the Implanon it went away. The only side effects I did not like was I got really bad acne, not just on my face but on my back and chested as well. I've gained a lot of weight and I have been getting headaches and been moody. I think Implanon is a really good Birth Control, but I just don't think its good enough for me. I'm thinking of getting it removed and going back on Loestrin 24Fe. The pill worked better for me. I was good at remembering to take my pill. I hope this helped."	4	June 22, 2011	0	154
127,745	Phentermine	obesity	"Started taking Phentermine 37.5 on 3-6-17 weighing 274 lbs I'm 5'3- 40 yrs old. As of today 3-10-17 I weighed 266 lbs. It definitely kills the appetite and keeps you energized. For the past few days I have had severe nausea coming & going. Due to the results I am seeing I most push through. I have had no success in the past with all of the "other" dieting solutions. I'm currently taking 1/2 a pill a day in stead of the - 1 tab a day. Trying to see if it will calm the nausea. Looking forward to keeping you all updated. Best of Luck!"	9	March 10, 2017	22	106
173,556	Exemestane	breast cance	"I have been on Aromasin for 2 years now. Prior I took tamoxifen. Sure, there are side effects, (pain in my leg, painful joints, and hot flashes) but I had stage 3 ca and am still alive 4.5 years."	9	October 29, 2009	101	39
90,292	Vicodin	pain	"I use Vicodin when I'm in pain. It only helps me for 2 to 3 days then after that nothing seems to help with pain. I've had surgery on my wrist and I am going to have surgery again soon. I fear that I am going to get addicted to it because my dad is addicted to it and I don't want it to happen to me. I need to tell my doctor and ask him what else would help with pain."	7	August 12, 2009	11	82
186,949	Deltasone	sinusitis	"It it one of the only things that opens up the sinuses to allow it to drain well, so the infection can heal otherwise the infection never clears out and you can get a clogged up sinus canal."	10	February 4, 2012	120	38
118,502	Fetzima	depression	"My doctor gave me this medicine as a treatment for my depression, I also suffer with anxiety. I tried it for a few days and I have to say the side effects really beat me up. I would wake up feeling so crazy and on the second day I had an intense crying/yelling manic anxiety attack. The next day I was laying down feeling relaxed when my heart rate and blood pressure suddenly shot up. I didn't feel anxious or anything it was just my heart rate that shot up it lasted about 30 mins and it was scary to say the least. This drug may be effective for some people but as for me it simply didn't work, maybe if I took it longer but I was risking my heart health. I'm 25 years old I'm to young to be living like someone 3x my age"	1	August 25, 2015	24	147
61,037	Focalin	adhd	"Im a 17 year old girl and focalin was the first medication I ever used to treat my ADHD. It was the worst! Like many others, I felt extremely anxious. I also constantly would feel unattached to the world. Even worse, it didn't even help me focus! I was too busy having overwhelming feelings of anxiety to be focused. However, I wouldn't say you shouldn't try this medication as it seems to work for others. I just know that if you feel any sense of anxiety, it's abnormal. I'm on vyvanse now and I have no problems with anxiety. Just a few minor symptoms, but it works great."	1	September 26, 2015	22	108
148,841	Mirena	birth control	"Well! This is my first full week of mirena insertion and I am loving it so far. I was a bit skeptical with getting an IUD and it took me some time to get to the doc to have this done (4 months of thinking & review reading)! I didn't like the reviews that was out here so I began to get cold feet and not do it. BUT I really needed some form of BC. I have tried birth control pills for years and that was nice but it wasn't so nice because it raised my pressure! ( I was that 0.5% on the label I guess). However the procedure was standard it hurt like anything during insertion but no worst than cramps. Same day a lil bleeding but that went away the next day. After 3 days I was good to jog, have sex, swim , whatever! 5 yrs of NO worries, go 4 it !!"	7	February 18, 2016	13	158
165,542	Levonorgestrel	emergency contraception	"In a nutshell, March 2017, I had a normal period; had intercourse with my husband around the end of March and took a Plan B the next morning. Within about 5 days I had another heavy period that lasted around 5 days. I figured this was due to the Plan B. A week later I took another Plan B around 10 hours after intercourse which caused me to have another 5 day long heavy period. This means in April I had what I thought was two heavy 5-6 day long periods. However, it is now the middle of May and I found out I am pregnant. According to my doctor I am around 7.5 weeks along which means I got pregnant during the first Plan B attempt. I don't understand how I had three full length heavy periods but I am still pregnant??"	1	May 13, 2017	5	143
185,150	Harvoni	hepatitis c	"51 yr old female. HCV since 1985 when it was called Non a Non b Hepatitis. Have done three other tx's in 12 yrs, interferon and riba then peg interferon and riba. Anaphylaxis to pegylated. Stage 2 fibrosis pushed to cirrhosis. Ten yrs later got a place on Abbvie trial, 2015. Lasted 3 weeks until hospitalized with liver failure. Since then FDA have slapped drug protocol for these meds with a caveat that no one with decomp cirrhosis, Child Pugh score more than A should ever be treated with those meds. Harvoni has had its bad luck cases but nothing like what happened to decomp patients on the Abbvie protocol. Began Harvoni three days ago with justified trepidation. No sides at all first two days, very slight nausea and chills today."	3	April 3, 2016	19	131
137,956	Ortho Evra	birth control	"Since I've started the patch I've had an increase in libido like all the time . I wasn't like that before ... I'm not complaining . Lol. But down side my skin broke out bad the first week of wearing the patch . And I gained a bad cough that won't stop . Other than that I love the patch since I've worn it I haven't had weight gain but my boobs have went up a whole cup size so no more pretty bras . Lol ."	7	February 17, 2016	15	87
180,034	Adapalene / benzoyl peroxide	acne	"I'm seventeen and have been using Epiduo for about seven weeks. Ever since sixth grade, I've had enough acne to make me feel uncomfortable and cry at the sight of my skin with no make up. I apply Epiduo every night after my shower and have been very pleased with my results. At first, like everyone mentioned, it burned and dried out my skin (especially around my lips). However it wasn't bad enough for me to have to use a moisturizer. Avoid putting the gel around your eyes because that's where it burned the most. The burning and the dryness don't last long and are totally worth it. My skin is almost clear and my scars have even faded thanks to Epiduo. I strongly recommend this product."	9	August 30, 2013	27	127
81,205	Yaz	acne	"I started taking yaz because of my severe acne, I've had acne now for about 7 years straight I'm now 20 years old and Ive never been able to get rid of it. My GP prescribed me YAZ and I've heard really good stories about this particular pill brand, I took this pill for about the 3 months and my god it made my skin break out completely it was horrible my face was sore to touch because of how big my pimples were and most of them were underneath the skin which was worse. I since then have stopped and gone to a dermatologist (skin specialist) and have been prescribed Minocycline which is an antibiotic and its 100% cleared my skin completely. Note *** I didn't gain weight on this YAZ."	1	February 13, 2017	5	132
31,639	Miconazole	vaginal yeast infection	"I'm 18y/o this is my first yeast infection. I didn't go to the doctor but I read the symptoms online and diagnosed myself to have a yeast infection so I went down to the drug store and bought monistat 3-day treatment. I didn't experience any severe pain or burning like any of the other ladies (which btw is why I was hesitant about getting any monistat product) but today was the 3rd day of the treatment and the initial pain and itchiness from the yeast infection is almost gone. I still have some damaged skin around my vagina that hurts but hopefully it'll be gone soon. I'm content with the product and I'm glad I didn't listen to the people saying they went through extreme pain (I wonder why that is that some people experience severe burning)"	8	December 29, 2015	6	137
133,635	Bactrim DS	urinary tract infection	"No health insurance. Went to the ER for UTI and was prescribed Bactrim. UTI symptoms quickly subsided (didn't disappear completely but like 90% better) so that was nice. Then the Bactrim symptoms started. Oh man. I had a different set of symptoms every day. First it was tingly hands and severe fatigue. Then I had a full blown panic attack (depression and anxiety can be made worse by Bactrim apparently so I tried to keep reminding myself of that). Last couple of days I've had headaches and bad nausea. I'm on day 6 of my 7 day course now-- gonna try my best to make it through the whole course but wowww it's tough. I just hope these symptoms clear up once my pills are gone. It got its job done but made me miserable in the process!"	6	September 2, 2017	18	138
56,631	Elavil	depression	"I have been on Elavil for depression for 20 years. I did have some problem with not remembering that I had told someone something already. This has gotten better as I made a conscious effort to remember things. I still have some problems with memory in forgetting where I put things. The best thing that happened is I have not had a headache in 20 years. I used to have bad headaches 2-3 times a week so this has been well worth putting up with side-effects."	10	July 8, 2013	102	86
25,424	Finasteride	androgenetic alopecia	"I'm 24 with mild receding hair, still have a full head of hair but beginning to recede on the crown and round temples. Started Propecia on the 23/12/16 had no side affects up until last night, at no point did I look up reviews of side effects of the drug as I did not want other people's experiences to play on my mind. Last night, noticed a tender pain in my testicules and it's continued throughout the whole of today, I am now stopping this drug immediately. I've spent the whole of day with aggressive pain the mentioned above area, been projectile vomiting and had diarrhoea. This drug has not worked for me and by reading others comments I will certainly review people's opinions rather than trusting there findings."	1	December 28, 2016	13	129
164,865	Phentermine / topiramate	obesity	"Keeps me from being overwhelmingly hungry so that I can concentrate on eating 3 low calorie healthy meals daily with some nutritiuous snacks thrown in. Not being hungry all the time allows me to spend more quality time excercising as well"	10	July 30, 2016	18	41
194,449	Crestor	high cholesterol	"I had a stroke that likely was a series of mini-strokes. It left me with difficulty walking and with sensation on my right side. My cholesterol was 7.9 and in the hospital they got it down to 4.3. I was told it needs to be even lower because of my hypertension and difficulty with movement that makes it hard for me to exercise and move around. Lack of exercise and a low budget means I cannot afford fresh fruits and veggies most of the time so my diet is not as healthy as my doctor would like. One good thing though, I eat a salad a day sans dressing. Its not much but all I can afford. I am getting oatmeal next pay and little by little trying to change the way I eat but it is difficult. Crestor works but the side effects worry me."	8	December 3, 2009	39	146
54,371	Bupropion / naltrexone	weight loss	"I just started contrave on the 3rd of October, so I am on my second day. I'm amazed at how quick my cravings were shut down and what I couldn't resist before, now doesn't even get a second look. My only negative response to this medication are the headaches I'm getting on it. I'm hoping that after my body adjusts, those will fade. I'll check in later and give another update as I continue this prescription."	9	November 4, 2017	4	76
140,503	Escitalopram	anxiety	"I am 21 years old, female. I've been on 10mg for about a week now, and this has done wonders for me. I always felt mad and stressed out over little thing. Now I feel like I have more clarity and control. I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. The first day was the worst. I felt like I wanted to throw up all day, yet I stuck through it and I am glad I did. I never knew how much stress had affected my everyday life and routine till I got on the pill and saw the changes it had on my moods and behavior. Now I don't snap over little things I use to think were major. I don't cry over things that would upset me. I feel so much more at ease."	9	November 6, 2016	11	140
25,994	Kapvay	adhd	"My 7 year old son has severe ADHD, ODD, and anxiety. We started him on Vyvanse 20mg, Depakote twice a day, and Kapvay .1 in the evening last week. We were worried because he talked SO much like he was on speed, and ran around the house looking for paper, books, pens to write with and never sat still but he was very pleasant when we started the Vyvanse. However, he was Always saying I'm sorry for blurting, please, and thank you which was unheard of before starting the Vyvanse. We were noticing around 4:00 the Vyvanse wearing off and the aggression and whining came back with a vengeance! We added another .1 mg Kapvay after school with his Depakote and the result was AMAZING. He is pleasant ALL day long."	10	April 16, 2011	65	131
212,299	Lamotrigine	bipolar disorde	"Lamictal combined with Seroquel XR has changed the quality of my life. My obsessive compulsive disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder were masked for many years by the severe depression. Eventually a different doctor realized it was not enough. The Lamictal was added and helped to calm my OCD but when the Seroquel was added it was awesome; I felt normal. If the Lamictal is helping but you still don't feel right, your doctor may increase the dose. Talk to him/her often and don't minimize a symptom because you think it is too small to mention. Some symptoms overlap and may be masking an untreated problem. Summary: Lamictal works. No side effects. I'm grateful for it every day."	10	July 31, 2011	41	117
232,117	Itraconazole	dermatophytosis	"This medicine does wonders.tried so many creams and medicines before.none of them worked.then my doc refered me itraconazole 200 .with in 4 days my skin problem started to fade away.now after 2 weeks its perfectly cured..this medicine works perfect."	10	February 3, 2017	4	39
202,917	Novolog	diabetes, type 2	"Have used Novolog for 9-10 years. I has reasonably helped with controlling my glucose but has caused considerable weight gain. My units are determined by the carbohydrate count per meal - that has been adjusted from a ratio of 10 to a ratio of 7 per unit. A new endocrinologist has suggested Januvia but the side effects sound horrendous. The other 5 oral medications I've tried over a period of years did nothing positive and actually caused too many gastrointestinal problems. Will decide in 3 months, at next appointment."	7	April 29, 2015	5	89
34,187	Tramadol	restless legs syndrome	"Since starting Tramadol 2 years ago (300 mg daily), I've been symptom free from restless leg syndrome with no side effects. Prior to Tramadol, I experience acute pain in legs when inactive during the evenings. A sleep study also revealed moderate leg twitching during sleep which interfered with REM. I was prescribed Requip 4mg but had a couple of very bad reactions (sudden onset of acute sweating and nausea). I also take Tramadol for mild chronic back pain. Breakthrough pain can occur due to the relatively low strength of Tramadol compared to other prescription pain relievers. However, it's more accessible due to it being a non-narcotic, non-scheduled drug. "	10	April 19, 2009	36	109
140,026	Xanax XR	panic disorde	"I used to take Klonopin 1 mg once or twice a day as needed, but it would stress me out because I was always trying to figure out if my anxiety was bad enough to need it (I have OCD and general anxiety disorder) so a lot of times I really should have taken it I didn't, which resulted in way more anxiety for me. My psychiatrist changed me to Xanax XR 1 mg to take each morning to help me with that, which worked better, but didn't feel quite strong enough. So after that month, she increased it to Xanax XR 2 mgs each morning instead, and it's been wonderful. I'm much less anxious, and I used to be so anxious constantly that life was just miserable for me."	9	May 20, 2017	10	130
144,298	Etonogestrel	birth control	"I got my first implanon in July 2011 at 17y/o. The 3 years of being on my first rod was okay. I gained about 15lbs, started getting a little acne (never had acne before that), and I had a period about twice a year (light, lasted a week). I got my second implant in July 2014. A month later I started experience HORRIBLE acne, mood swings and more weight gain. I've now gained about about 30lbs since getting my first rod. The only pros are no periods (twice a year), and no pregnancies (my boyfriend had unprotected sex for almost 5 yrs). My acne has calmed down a lot in the past 6 months but I now have a lot of scarring. It's now almost 2 years into my second rod and I plan on getting it removed this summer because I can't get the weight off."	4	May 21, 2016	10	147
214,703	Ascomp with Codeine	headache	"My quality of life went from zero to 100 when I started on this med 20 years ago for migraine prevention! I am allergic to all Maxalt-type meds due to heart side effects! I am prescribed 4 capsules daily for migraine prevention and without them, I go straight into migraine symptoms and have to stay in bed for 3-4 days until the migraine and headache symptoms have disappeared! My new coverage is now Medicare RX! And they refuse to cover it! HELP"	10	April 6, 2015	12	82
141,580	Escitalopram	anxiety	"First, the positive. I've suffered from anxiety my entire life. This medication helped tremendously in that it was under control while I was on it. If you suffer from anxiety, you know how wonderful this can be. The negative. I gained 20 pounds quickly that I couldn't get rid of. I decided to get off of the medication because I was trying to get pregnant. The withdrawals were really bad. I had brain zaps non-stop, couldn't stand up straight because of dizziness and extreme confusion. Now, keep in mind I tapered myself slowly off this medication, per doctor's orders. It took 5 months before I wasn't experiencing these withdrawal symptoms. Horrific."	3	April 21, 2013	31	111
10,759	Gemfibrozil	high cholesterol	"My doctor prescribed Lopid after my triglyceride levels were out of control. I feel great! No side effects and with Lopid and fish oil they are much better. From 1900 a year ago to 160."	10	October 15, 2009	77	35
43,678	LoSeasonique	ovarian cysts	"I switched to LoSeasonique after taking LoEstrin24 for about a year because I was still getting extreme side effects from my periods (passing out, couldn't get out of bed, etc) and stopped taking it after the first month and a half because by skin was breaking out really bad. This past month was my first month being off birth control in about 3 or 4 years and it was horrible! I started a new pack of LoSeasonique this afternoon to see if my skin will react any differently and if I do end up breaking out again, I will switch back to Loestrin."	6	November 17, 2010	0	103
165,946	Levonorgestrel	birth control	"A coworker of mine recommended I try Skyla after she heard I was looking for birth control method that was effective and had the least side effects. I booked my appointment at my doctors office and was told to take pain relievers before because I'd feel discomfort, we'll discomfort wasn't the proper word because the pain was so bad I cried after. I drove home normally but that night I had severe cramps and they continued for 2 weeks straight. I couldn't work out and just wanted to lay in bed from how bad the cramps were, I would have to breath in and out very deeply to feel some sort of relief. It has now been a month and I bleed almost every day (liner light) but it's manageable, I'm not sure if bleeding a month after is okay?"	7	February 25, 2017	2	140
136,620	Byetta	diabetes, type 2	"Although not a cure it sure is a fabulous tool in my battle against type 2 diabetes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE BATTLING THIS DISEASE. Combined with exercise and portion control this is a miracle drug in my humble non medical opinion."	10	June 14, 2009	22	41

82,248	Liraglutide	diabetes, type 2	"I started taking victoza February 2015 @the smallest dose 0.6. My a1c level was over 15. By March my a1c level went down to 10. By May my a1c was 8.9 in sept my a1c level was 8.1. Today October is 8.0. I lost a total of 15lbs From jan to now. At the lower dose had some nausea and diarrhea that subsided. By June I was at the highest level of the victosa. This caused serious diarrhea,nausea,vomiting,eggy burping and severe gas. I'm got off victosa and symptoms went away but sugars increased. I'm now trying farxiga lets hope this med does just as well without side effects. I loved what victoza did for me but side effects were to severe. One other note I also have IBS with direness which contributed to the severe diarrhea episodes"	8	October 27, 2015	23	137
59,417	Zyrtec	allergic rhinitis	"For the past five years I have been treated for everything except an allergy. I was hacking my brains out from October through to May. My doctor said I had GERD, I took Prilosec OTC. Nothing happened. Well, my husband went overseas and brought me back a package of cetirizine. I was desparate so I took one pill and a second. My coughing stopped. I am in Heaven. Looked it up on the internet and low and behold it's ZYRTEC. I am grateful beyond belief and to top it off no side effects as of yet and it's been two weeks. First time during the winter I am cough free in years."	10	January 6, 2009	29	112
184,175	Hydroxyzine	anxiety	"I was given hydroxyzine as an alternative to lorazepam since my doctor told me I need to start taking a non addictive alternative. I take my pills at night to help calm my mind so I can go to sleep. Well, the hydroxyzine made me incredibly drowsy and didn't much help with my anxiety. I got to sleep but I remember not being able to get certain images out of my head and the dreams were a little vivid. When I woke up in the morning I was still drowsy, almost as if I didn't just sleep 8 hours. The drowsiness lasted all day and that was the last time I took that medication. Would not recommend for anxiety."	1	April 4, 2016	21	119
63,674	Epiduo	acne	"PART 1 This stuff is amazing, by far the best product if you are looking for something to help with your skin. If you have gotten this product from a dermatologist, and you've come across my review. Make sure you aren't just slabbing it on thinking it will give you faster results, this WILL dry out your skin if you aren't careful. Use enough that it will cover your whole face (don't get close too your eyes) but ONLY do this once a week, and slowly add it into your routine. Than the next week, do it twice, with a few days in between, than the next week 3.. etc. Your skin needs to adapt too this product, otherwise IT WILL HURT. If your skin does get a little dry, I suggest using "Nivea Cream" it comes in a 100ml blue bottle."	10	April 3, 2014	60	142
133,123	Tri-Sprintec	abnormal uterine bleeding	"I started taking tri-sprintec because the pharmacy I switched too no longer carried tri-prevfem. My first month was fine no changes. However my second month on the pill my I went through a super tampon! Normally I barley go through a light. My cramps are horrible and I have a headache that just won't quit. My limbo is also way the hell down from where is used to be. The only good knews is my acne is slightly better durning pms. I am completely miserable after I finished this pack I am switching."	1	October 31, 2013	7	93
92,065	Lyrica	ibromyalgia	"I have had fibroymalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and was hit by a hit and run driver on my bicycle and have taken many different pain medications including Lortab 10 mg, and have had considerably more pain relief from Lyrica than any other medication I have taken."	9	April 15, 2012	30	45
19,768	Pregabalin	pain	"I am taking pregabalin after suffering a clinically isolated syndrome, which left residual pins and needles and pain in my feet plus painful stiffness in the muscles above my knees. Was taking gabapentin but only helped a bit, still found walking uncomfortable. Am now taking pregabalin 75mg three times a day and have found this wonderful. I work full time in a busy pharmacy, this has helped me to continue my work and improved my life considerably. Am struggling with weight gain but it's worth it."	9	January 2, 2010	10	86
76,975	Lorcaserin	weight loss	"I've had zero side effects. The fist change I noticed is my mood dramatically improved. My friends, family & coworkers have all noticed the change. For the first time in forever I feel normal. I'm not mad at the world. I wake up happy. As for my weight loss it's taken several months but I finally feel I'm on a roll. I'm only down 25lbs but in the last couple months the scales are doing down. Food it not a priority in my life anymore. As I sit here there is a king sized Kit Kat sitting on my nightstand where it's been for weeks since my roommate gave it to me. That never would be the cast in the past. I have more energy and have even lost a pants size. I will do whatever it takes to stay on this medicine."	10	May 2, 2015	69	143
53,038	Zofran ODT	nausea/vomiting, postoperative	"Best anti-nausea medication available. Very effective for those undergoing chemotherapy. Also good for conditions when you are nauseous and require a narcotic analgesic - nausea will still subside. If you are allergic to other nausea medications such as compazine and/or reglan, like I am (severe panic attacks), zofran is your safest best (only side effect I have occasionally noticed is slight headache). The only real downfall is the price of the orally disintegrating tablet, because there is no generic. The non-ODT tablet does have a generic, and is also very effective, but if you need relief FAST, ODT is the best way to go."	10	November 4, 2009	14	104
14,495	Testim	hypogonadism, male	"I'm 51. My Testosterone level had dropped to about 150. I hadn't been to a doc in a few years and have been gaining weight and feeling more fatigued and less motivated. Doc offered Testim and others but said Testim seemed to absorb better than others. He mentioned the possible smell and stickiness, but I gave it a try. Today was my fourth day and it really seems to already be helping with fatigue and overall motivation. I'm going over to the gym and work out this morning and I'm going to get the house cleaned up too. Perhaps just psychological this early. Regardless, I feel MUCH better already. I really don't see the smell or sticky issues, seems about like hand sanitizer. Rub it in a minute or so, no smell or stickiness. Happy!"	8	October 12, 2013	42	135
37,230	Vyvanse	binge eating disorde	"This medication has changed my life. I began taking it shortly after it was FDA approved back in March of 2015. I have suffered from SEVERE BED since I was 15. My BED was stealing my life from me- every ounce of energy I had was spent searching out food and then eating until I couldnt eat another bite, my BED was getting worse, over 18 months I spent 10k on food and went from 135-205. When my doctor told me about this drug I was excited- however skeptical because it sounded too good to be true. I started feeling feeling its effects right away. 18 months later and I am 60 lbs lighter. My BED is still a part of my life, I still have strong cravings; however now i feel in control. This drug has changed my life and allowed me to live again."	10	September 20, 2016	64	146
84,816	Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate	birth control	"2 months ago my insurance informed me they no longer cover Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo (that had no side effects) and would basically have to switch to the generic form, Tri-lo sprintec. Being assured that it was the same thing and that keeping ortho would cost about 150, I went ahead and took the generic. I could only make it through 1 and a half packs before I couldn't take the side effects anymore. I was gaining a lot of weight for no reason, constantly bloated, breaking out, fatigued, suddenly depressed for no reason, spotting and even my period just starting for no reason! I finally finished my second pack today but my period started a week ago. Told the pharmacy to switch me back, worst BC, not the same as ortho lo."	1	April 17, 2016	7	132
193,304	Cyclobenzaprine	muscle spasm	"Amrix made me sleepy. And then for a week after 1 pill I was so irritable is was like psycho PMS and I hated everyone and everything. That stuff is toxic and I'll never take another one! Avoid it! Oh and my neck still hurt. Useless."	1	August 30, 2015	26	46
215,322	Lubiprostone	constipation, chronic	"I started taking Amitiza a month ago. I am on the 24 mg. It works sometimes but I am experiencing side effects that I didn't think resulted from this medication until I read some of the reviews. I have trouble taking in breaths, coughing, severe headaches, nausea, but most of all bloating and gas. Before the medication while being constipated, I could still button up my pants. Now that I've started the medicine, its a struggle due to bloating."	5	September 20, 2012	33	79
154,622	Metronidazole	bacterial vaginitis	"Had to take this for a week straight 2x day, makes your body super tired, diarrhea, loss of appetite... slightly irritable, dry mouth, upset stomach ( cramps ) also back and thigh pain.

138,691	Phentermine	weight loss	"I started this medication to lose baby weight after two kids in five years. I am a 28 year old female that after pregnancy weighed 202lbs. I started ADIPEX 37.5 IN September 2011. It is November 13, 2011 and I have lost 30lbs. I weigh 172 and I still have 15-20 lbs pre-pregnancy weight. I have had dry mouth and upset stomach but nothing I can't deal with. I lost 30lbs in 10 weeks! That's amazing and insane. I also started a high protein and low carb diet. I have been working out 2-3 days a week at the gym. Stick with it people this medication works!"	10	November 13, 2011	36	107
74,692	Wellbutrin SR	depression	"I tried various other anti-depressants. I have severe depression, which runs in my family. Wellbutrin works well for me. The only noticeable side effects have been twitching, and some sleeplessness. It is expensive though. The generic was just terrible. Gave aching, even more twitching, tiredness, lack of concentration, etc. I would not recommend the generic as many other people had similar complaints. I do recommend Wellbutrin SR NON-GENERIC, especially if you have insurance."	10	November 29, 2008	61	73
142,974	Etonogestrel	birth control	"I have been on Nexplanon for almost 2 years. For the past year I have had awful symptoms. Periods every other week. Extremely heavy ones! Gained about 20lbs. My eating habits have actually improved and I exercise. There is no reason in my life style in which I should have gained that much weight. I get nauseous, dizzy, head aches, cramps, and breast size fluctuations often. I moved and haven't found an OB/GYN to take it out! I am over feeling the way I do all of the time. And I'm tired of spending so much on feminine hygiene products each month. I'm spending double what I did before having nexaplon!"	3	July 26, 2017	5	111
43,500	Hydromorphone	pain	"I have been suffering with back pain for 18 years. I have had two surgery 25 EPO injections, radio frec. (that's when they burn the nerves) just to name a few. I've been on this for only one week but it seems to help, but it's still early. I am very good about following doctors orders and he is one of the best. "	7	September 13, 2010	12	64
138,521	Phentermine	weight loss	"I've taken Adipex about 3-4 different years in my life for short periods of time. Dr.s recommend only use for 3 months. The first time I took it in 2007 I was 180 lbs and I got down to 140 lbs the weight fell off I went on subway diet! My point is not really the weight loss. I noticed pain in my right side under my ribs. I just brushed it off. I had a baby in Dec 2008 and tried it again, lost some weight had pain again still dismissed it as nothing. A month ago April 2013 my Dr put me on it because I had been taking a medication that made me gain weight. I lost 21 pounds in 3 weeks, which was great but now for the problem. Fat goes through your gallbladder. I lost weight too fast and lost my gallbladder. Be careful if feel pain get help."	7	May 23, 2013	33	154
144,154	Etonogestrel	birth control	"I HATED this birth control. Yes, it was easy to use and effective (no pregnancies), but I bled or spotted three weeks out of the month for the TWO years I had the nexplanon. Sex life suffered. I also think the Nexplanon caused more cystic acne on my face."	1	June 10, 2016	5	49
212,917	Tizanidine	muscle spasm	"My doctor gave this to me for I had to get off my melicam for a month. 3 days into taking this medication I have had the worst nightmares ever, things that you couldn't even imagine to the point that I thought dead people where in my house and I'm talking to myself and my husband getting mad because I'm talking and screaming very loud in my sleep. Heart rate is very high, dropped my blood pressure just from 3 days. I would take some serious precautions when taking this medication. And I still don't know if it works or not the dreams scared me so bad that I think I'm cured...."	1	December 15, 2015	33	112
209,166	Skelaxin	muscle spasm	"Episodic incidences of serious back spasms and pain due to having herniated discs of L4 and L5. Skelaxin relieves the spasms so I get back to somewhat normal in as short as time as possible without feeling drugged out and tired. It works so far as to what it was prescibed for."	9	November 26, 2008	33	52
217,323	Clarithromycin	mycoplasma pneumonia	"Was meant to be on penicillin but the hospital changed my antibiotic 5 mins before I left because they found mycoplasma in my throat (they didn't really know what was wrong with me tbh). My symptoms are spot on to a so I'm leaning towards that as what I have (its certainly not tonsilitis or 'stress' which they tried to fob me off with). I have taken 4 of these clarithromycin and I think they may be the devil in pill form. I have had nothing but shortness of breath, stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhoea since. Apparently they are common side effects, but this seems ridiculous. I felt better of with just the pneumonia than with being on these!"	1	March 18, 2017	1	119
145,608	Qsymia	weight loss	"My Dr split the 2 meds up since my insurance would not cover Qsymia. I took it for 8 days and decided I needed to stop. I lost a few lbs but it wasn't because of appetite loss. I was hungry all day. I made myself choose to eat correctly. On top of this I has HORRIBLE side effects. It started with day 1. I didn't feel well, extremely tired and could not get my thoughts together. This continued each day along with dry mouth and dry itchy eyes. My vision was weird and my eyes seemed to be extremely light sensitive. My coworkers made comments to me every day regarding my eyes and why I kept making mistakes. My brain was not functional. I stopped taking topiramate and felt better the first day without it. Had to have eyes checked"	1	February 5, 2016	26	141
97,187	Ambien	insomnia	"At first I could take one 10mg and be knocked out in 20 mins but after being used to it I took 50mg one night and all I got was nausea. So it was GREAT at first better than anything else but now it has lost all effect."	7	November 29, 2010	2	48
637	Medroxyprogesterone	birth control	"I have been using this since the birth of my second child 14 and 1/2 years ago. I love it. No periods. No daily medicines to try to remember. I have had a bone density scan and it was normal so worries there either. I think it is great!"	9	July 29, 2009	0	49
11,946	Fastin	weight loss	"I have been taking fastin for a little over two weeks. I started at 150 and im currently 140. Fastin causes me not to be hungry as much and gives me energy.

132,404	Ativan	anxiety	"Has been a wonder drug for me. I keep my dosages low and take no more than needed, sometimes at the cost of not taking enough. My only complaint is it takes too long for it take effect, sometimes up to 2 hrs."	9	September 24, 2009	31	43
30,704	Miconazole	vaginal yeast infection	"I heard that the 7 day is better than the 3 day, but they were out. So I got the 3 day and figured it would be better than the 1 day. Got home, took a shower, dried off and prepared for relief. I was not prepared. I inserted the cream and got comfortable. Within 10 minutes the itching was 30000000000074 times worse than the YI. And the burning feels like salt on an open wound . I'm pretty tough and have a high pain tolerance. This is not pain. This makes me wish for death. This should be used for modern day torture purposes only. I have tried to get it all out, I've taken benadryl. This was a big mistake. I feel so stupid for not just asking my Dr. for Diflucan."	1	September 11, 2017	6	134
98,621	Nexplanon	birth control	"I got Nexplanon in February 2014. With all contraceptions there is the risk of side effects. On the pill ai had sore breasts. With Nexplanon my breasts feel much better and I'm less hormonal. In the first few weeks after the implant I got a bit of a scabby scalp but that has cleared. After 2 weeks - light period lasting 10 days (bleeding 6 days, light tampons then brown discharge for 4 days). I then had 2 weeks of no bleeding then 7 days bleeding, more like 2 days bleeding and 5 days spotting or brown discharge. Then 3 weeks of no bleeding. Irregular bleeding is annoying but better than a baby! Minimum maintenance contraception suits me and my boyfriend. These reviews helped me so I thought I would post."	8	May 4, 2014	8	131
204,990	Toradol	pain	"I take this for migraine pain relief - it works well taking away what I call the " bad feeling" of having a migraine. That awful painful feeling and allows it to be tolerable as just a headache. In combination with my migraine medicine, it will take the whole headache and I don't usually have a rebound headache afterwards."	10	June 16, 2013	26	59
185,159	Harvoni	hepatitis c	"I am on week 3 of Harvoni and haven't really experienced any side effects apart from fatigue. Sort of like a cell phone running out of battery or charge. I have just gotten a cold and took some Nyquil I bought in the states. My husband thinks it should be okay but I will check with my doctor tomorrow. It is Sunday here and I am in Australia by the way. My 18 year old daughter was tested last week and she is negative. Thank goodness for that! I found out I was Hep C positive after I gave birth to her, assume I got from some very bad choices I made as a teenager in the Carolina's. Hopefully after this treatment it will be gone. Harvoni was put on the PBS on March 1st which is why I decided to start treatment."	7	June 19, 2016	17	143
215,760	Copper	birth control	"I looooove paraguard I've had it for 8 months my only child is 4 years old his dad is a absent parent so I said I won't be having another until I'm in a secure marriage with someone worth spending the rest of my life with before i bring anymore children into the world . My boyfriend and I don't ever have any worries or pregnancy scares because paraguard does it's job very well. My mom recommended it because she's used it for years for her and my dad ...my cramps are a little more hurtful but before paraguard they hurted bad enough to take pain pills anyways. It's a win win situation for me and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND"	10	December 20, 2016	4	119
79,792	Xarelto	pulmonary embolism	"On Xarelto 15mg 2X a day since pulmonary embolism. Very pleased as it allowed me to released from hospital less than 24hrs after admission. One particular side effect: I am experiencing vivid dreams since going on Xarelto. Looking forward to getting off as soon as possible, but I am grateful that I am not on Coumadin or Lovenox."	9	December 9, 2013	38	58
98,208	Nexplanon	birth control	"I've had nexaplanon almost a year now. I got the nexaplanon when I turned 16. The first month with the birth control I had only a light period. After then I haven't had a period at all. I can barely feel the implant. It wasn't painful but however after you do get dizzy and sleepy after you get it inserted. The next day you will be more energized than ever. The only negative is that you gain weight. I went from being 180 lbs to being 220. It is horrible. I'm planning to get this taken off because of it. Overall I reccommend it if your 16 to 35 years old even to regulate periods."	8	June 29, 2015	8	115
221,634	Ziana	acne	"I absolutely love this medication. I was a little unsure since everything I used in the past didn't work. Went to a well known dermatolgist and I must say my skin looks so good it's really hard to grasp I had a glycolic acid peel on my first visit and started using the medication every night. I did develop a few more pimples while using but I stayed with it washing my face with Cerave hydrating cleanser morning and night like I was instructed and applying sun screen when I am outside. Today I had my second glycolic peel when the doctor saw me he was pleased with my results. It has only been 5 weeks and the good thing is, he said if I think my skin looks good now wait another 2 months. It's really amazing I went out of the house for the first time with no make up....yay! It really works."	9	March 17, 2009	33	155
15,548	Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone	birth control	"I started this pill on the first day of my period and have almost finished a pack now. I had a longer period followed by brown discharge for a week. This pill makes me feel fatigued the whole time just like the worst I feel before getting my period. My energy level has decreased significantly. Secondly I noticed my sex drive is gone. Last but not the least my hair is falling a lot. Initially I was going to give it another month to see if the side effects will get better but now I decide to get off this pill after the first pack. It changed how my body feels completely and I can't be this tired everyday."	1	January 4, 2017	7	119

By Monday, I was half-way through my day at work when I got lightheaded, dizzy, a terrible headache and started experiencing left sided numbness/tingling. Nearly wrecked and ended up in the ER where they diagnosed migraines. Was sent home to have a headache with left side weakness/numbness, confusion, foggy feeling for the next 2 weeks. 5 doctors appts, 2 ER visits, 1 outpatient infusion for migraines, and 1 admission to the hospital later. I finally figured out on MY OWN that when I stopped taking topamax, my symptoms got better. Although they are still not gone.

The one reason why I am considering getting it removed sooner is because I've lost interest in alot of things,but my SEX DRIVE is completely gone. I've had a pretty healthy sex life. But the past year and a half i believed that something was wrong with me, after reading reviews it settles me knowing that this is a common thing that happens.

Suprep Bowel Prep Kit

bowel preparation

"Well, just finished going through the first portion of the Suprep. I must say, it was very difficult to drink. The taste is awful. I had to put a cup with Gatorate next to the cup with the preparation, so I could drink a sip between each time that I took a drink of the Suprep. But it really has worked. I was terrorized with fear, but I haven't had any cramping or stomach ache at all, no nausea, no headache, and except for the terrible taste, the experience hasn't been bad at all. This is my first time getting ready for a colonoscopy, and I was glad I found this site before I started, it eased all of my fears by reading all the other comments. Thank you for having this site up. It helped me a lot. Hope I am able to help someone else."

When I found out about zofran it saved my life. I'm already a hypochondriac when it comes to the stomach bug, I hate it because as a child of the 90's there was no such pill and I always got the dirty bug. Now I take zofran when my daughter throws up or someone touches me with it just incase so I don't throw up and it always works because I stay upset stomach free. Just boggles my mind why docs never give it to patients, someone told me about it that's how I knew about it."

I eat less than 1400 calories a day, but I am extra aware of what I put in my body as to not be unhealthy- lots of protein, steamed veggies, and staying hydrated. All that being said, I will say the side effects were murder for me. I had/have pretty much all of them on the list of possibilities. Nothing that I can't handle though, nothing overly severe....I just wouldn't call it a 'fun' experience. I exercise regularly, but the majority of my changes have been to my food. It pretty much takes away superfluous hunger, so I only eat when I truly need to. I'm so happy to have found something that works."

My doctor told me to start at half a pill for the first 4 days so I haven't even experienced a full pill a day yet. I take it around 7:30am and it lasts all day. My appetite is completely gone - I have no taste for any food so I have to force myself to eat something. I do get very dry mouth though and my heart races all day. And although I have energy during the day I do get tired around 8pm. I haven't even incorporated any work outs yet so I can only imagine how fast it will come off once I start adding workouts. I drink more water due to the dry mouth so that is a good thing. Nothing has ever worked like this before. The best!"

I did gain about 10 pounds using it, but I am still well within my BMI range and am physically active and can control my appetite. This med is possibly the best one that has ever been prescribed to help both my anxiety and long history of depression. My one important concern is that my white blood count is slightly lower than it should be and has been lower for 6 years now. I'm hoping my white blood count does not drop lower and stays where it is."

I don't really exercise, but I am a stay at home mom of four so that keeps me pretty busy. But I did cut my calories to around 1,000, maybe a little more, per day. My only problem with this drug is the bladder side effects. I feel like I don't empty my bladder all the way and seem to have to use the bathroom more than I used to. I'll be starting to take half a tablet next week and then stop the drug all together by the following week. Praying I can keep up with my weight and not gain any back. :)"

By the time the second week came, I realized that I started getting a little more emotional, crying at things I normally wouldn't, getting offended over little reasons, etc. In week 3, I woke up so nauseous that I almost threw up for 4 days straight. By the time I was halfway through my second pack, I was a complete lunatic. Screaming at my boyfriend over the stupidest things, not thinking reasonably about ANYTHING, crying for no reason at all. I stopped taking this pill and within 2 days felt COMPLETELY better. I am now on a different pill and do not have this problem. I dont recommend lolo"

I have always had really bad cramps when I got my period, but when I got the Implanon it went away. The only side effects I did not like was I got really bad acne, not just on my face but on my back and chested as well. I've gained a lot of weight and I have been getting headaches and been moody. I think Implanon is a really good Birth Control, but I just don't think its good enough for me. I'm thinking of getting it removed and going back on Loestrin 24Fe. The pill worked better for me. I was good at remembering to take my pill. I hope this helped."

For the past few days I have had severe nausea coming & going. Due to the results I am seeing I most push through. I have had no success in the past with all of the "other" dieting solutions. I'm currently taking 1/2 a pill a day in stead of the - 1 tab a day. Trying to see if it will calm the nausea. Looking forward to keeping you all updated. Best of Luck!"

The next day I was laying down feeling relaxed when my heart rate and blood pressure suddenly shot up. I didn't feel anxious or anything it was just my heart rate that shot up it lasted about 30 mins and it was scary to say the least. This drug may be effective for some people but as for me it simply didn't work, maybe if I took it longer but I was risking my heart health.

However, I wouldn't say you shouldn't try this medication as it seems to work for others. I just know that if you feel any sense of anxiety, it's abnormal. I'm on vyvanse now and I have no problems with anxiety. Just a few minor symptoms, but it works great."

I didn't like the reviews that was out here so I began to get cold feet and not do it. BUT I really needed some form of BC. I have tried birth control pills for years and that was nice but it wasn't so nice because it raised my pressure! ( I was that 0.5% on the label I guess). However the procedure was standard it hurt like anything during insertion but no worst than cramps. Same day a lil bleeding but that went away the next day. After 3 days I was good to jog, have sex, swim , whatever! 5 yrs of NO worries, go 4 it !!"

Within about 5 days I had another heavy period that lasted around 5 days. I figured this was due to the Plan B. A week later I took another Plan B around 10 hours after intercourse which caused me to have another 5 day long heavy period. This means in April I had what I thought was two heavy 5-6 day long periods. However, it is now the middle of May and I found out I am pregnant. According to my doctor I am around 7.5 weeks along which means I got pregnant during the first Plan B attempt. I don't understand how I had three full length heavy periods but I am still pregnant??"

I apply Epiduo every night after my shower and have been very pleased with my results. At first, like everyone mentioned, it burned and dried out my skin (especially around my lips). However it wasn't bad enough for me to have to use a moisturizer. Avoid putting the gel around your eyes because that's where it burned the most. The burning and the dryness don't last long and are totally worth it. My skin is almost clear and my scars have even faded thanks to Epiduo. I strongly recommend this product."

I since then have stopped and gone to a dermatologist (skin specialist) and have been prescribed Minocycline which is an antibiotic and its 100% cleared my skin completely.

I still have some damaged skin around my vagina that hurts but hopefully it'll be gone soon. I'm content with the product and I'm glad I didn't listen to the people saying they went through extreme pain (I wonder why that is that some people experience severe burning)"

Then I had a full blown panic attack (depression and anxiety can be made worse by Bactrim apparently so I tried to keep reminding myself of that). Last couple of days I've had headaches and bad nausea. I'm on day 6 of my 7 day course now-- gonna try my best to make it through the whole course but wowww it's tough.

I've spent the whole of day with aggressive pain the mentioned above area, been projectile vomiting and had diarrhoea.

I was told it needs to be even lower because of my hypertension and difficulty with movement that makes it hard for me to exercise and move around. Lack of exercise and a low budget means I cannot afford fresh fruits and veggies most of the time so my diet is not as healthy as my doctor would like. One good thing though, I eat a salad a day sans dressing. Its not much but all I can afford. I am getting oatmeal next pay and little by little trying to change the way I eat but it is difficult.

Eventually a different doctor realized it was not enough. The Lamictal was added and helped to calm my OCD but when the Seroquel was added it was awesome; I felt normal. If the Lamictal is helping but you still don't feel right, your doctor may increase the dose. Talk to him/her often and don't minimize a symptom because you think it is too small to mention. Some symptoms overlap and may be masking an untreated problem. Summary: Lamictal works. No side effects. I'm grateful for it every day."

Novolog

diabetes, type 2

"Have used Novolog for 9-10 years. I has reasonably helped with controlling my glucose but has caused considerable weight gain. My units are determined by the carbohydrate count per meal - that has been adjusted from a ratio of 10 to a ratio of 7 per unit. A new endocrinologist has suggested Januvia but the side effects sound horrendous. The other 5 oral medications I've tried over a period of years did nothing positive and actually caused too many gastrointestinal problems. Will decide in 3 months, at next appointment."

Tramadol

restless legs syndrome

"Since starting Tramadol 2 years ago (300 mg daily), I've been symptom free from restless leg syndrome with no side effects. Prior to Tramadol, I experience acute pain in legs when inactive during the evenings. A sleep study also revealed moderate leg twitching during sleep which interfered with REM. I was prescribed Requip 4mg but had a couple of very bad reactions (sudden onset of acute sweating and nausea). I also take Tramadol for mild chronic back pain. Breakthrough pain can occur due to the relatively low strength of Tramadol compared to other prescription pain relievers. However, it's more accessible due to it being a non-narcotic, non-scheduled drug. "

Xanax XR

panic disorde

"I used to take Klonopin 1 mg once or twice a day as needed, but it would stress me out because I was always trying to figure out if my anxiety was bad enough to need it (I have OCD and general anxiety disorder) so a lot of times I really should have taken it I didn't, which resulted in way more anxiety for me. My psychiatrist changed me to Xanax XR 1 mg to take each morning to help me with that, which worked better, but didn't feel quite strong enough. So after that month, she increased it to Xanax XR 2 mgs each morning instead, and it's been wonderful. I'm much less anxious, and I used to be so anxious constantly that life was just miserable for me."

Etonogestrel

birth control

"I got my first implanon in July 2011 at 17y/o. The 3 years of being on my first rod was okay. I gained about 15lbs, started getting a little acne (never had acne before that), and I had a period about twice a year (light, lasted a week). I got my second implant in July 2014. A month later I started experience HORRIBLE acne, mood swings and more weight gain. I've now gained about about 30lbs since getting my first rod. The only pros are no periods (twice a year), and no pregnancies (my boyfriend had unprotected sex for almost 5 yrs). My acne has calmed down a lot in the past 6 months but I now have a lot of scarring. It's now almost 2 years into my second rod and I plan on getting it removed this summer because I can't get the weight off."

Escitalopram

anxiety

"First, the positive. I've suffered from anxiety my entire life. This medication helped tremendously in that it was under control while I was on it. If you suffer from anxiety, you know how wonderful this can be. The negative. I gained 20 pounds quickly that I couldn't get rid of. I decided to get off of the medication because I was trying to get pregnant. The withdrawals were really bad. I had brain zaps non-stop, couldn't stand up straight because of dizziness and extreme confusion. Now, keep in mind I tapered myself slowly off this medication, per doctor's orders. It took 5 months before I wasn't experiencing these withdrawal symptoms. Horrific."

This past month was my first month being off birth control in about 3 or 4 years and it was horrible! I started a new pack of LoSeasonique this afternoon to see if my skin will react any differently and if I do end up breaking out again, I will switch back to Loestrin."

I booked my appointment at my doctors office and was told to take pain relievers before because I'd feel discomfort, we'll discomfort wasn't the proper word because the pain was so bad I cried after. I drove home normally but that night I had severe cramps and they continued for 2 weeks straight. I couldn't work out and just wanted to lay in bed from how bad the cramps were, I would have to breath in and out very deeply to feel some sort of relief. It has now been a month and I bleed almost every day (liner light) but it's manageable, I'm not sure if bleeding a month after is okay?"

Today October is 8.0. I lost a total of 15lbs From jan to now. At the lower dose had some nausea and diarrhea that subsided. By June I was at the highest level of the victosa. This caused serious diarrhea,nausea,vomiting,eggy burping and severe gas. I'm got off victosa and symptoms went away but sugars increased. I'm now trying farxiga lets hope this med does just as well without side effects. I loved what victoza did for me but side effects were to severe. One other note I also have IBS with direness which contributed to the severe diarrhea episodes"

Nothing happened. Well, my husband went overseas and brought me back a package of cetirizine. I was desparate so I took one pill and a second. My coughing stopped. I am in Heaven. Looked it up on the internet and low and behold it's ZYRTEC. I am grateful beyond belief and to top it off no side effects as of yet and it's been two weeks.

Well, the hydroxyzine made me incredibly drowsy and didn't much help with my anxiety. I got to sleep but I remember not being able to get certain images out of my head and the dreams were a little vivid. When I woke up in the morning I was still drowsy, almost as if I didn't just sleep 8 hours. The drowsiness lasted all day and that was the last time I took that medication. Would not recommend for anxiety."

Epiduo

acne

"PART 1 This stuff is amazing, by far the best product if you are looking for something to help with your skin. If you have gotten this product from a dermatologist, and you've come across my review. Make sure you aren't just slabbing it on thinking it will give you faster results, this WILL dry out your skin if you aren't careful. Use enough that it will cover your whole face (don't get close too your eyes) but ONLY do this once a week, and slowly add it into your routine. Than the next week, do it twice, with a few days in between, than the next week 3.. etc. Your skin needs to adapt too this product, otherwise IT WILL HURT. If your skin does get a little dry, I suggest using "Nivea Cream" it comes in a 100ml blue bottle."

I'm not mad at the world. I wake up happy. As for my weight loss it's taken several months but I finally feel I'm on a roll. I'm only down 25lbs but in the last couple months the scales are doing down. Food it not a priority in my life anymore. As I sit here there is a king sized Kit Kat sitting on my nightstand where it's been for weeks since my roommate gave it to me. That never would be the cast in the past. I have more energy and have even lost a pants size. I will do whatever it takes to stay on this medicine."

Zofran ODT

nausea/vomiting, postoperative

"Best anti-nausea medication available. Very effective for those undergoing chemotherapy. Also good for conditions when you are nauseous and require a narcotic analgesic - nausea will still subside. If you are allergic to other nausea medications such as compazine and/or reglan, like I am (severe panic attacks), zofran is your safest best (only side effect I have occasionally noticed is slight headache). The only real downfall is the price of the orally disintegrating tablet, because there is no generic. The non-ODT tablet does have a generic, and is also very effective, but if you need relief FAST, ODT is the best way to go."

Doc offered Testim and others but said Testim seemed to absorb better than others. He mentioned the possible smell and stickiness, but I gave it a try. Today was my fourth day and it really seems to already be helping with fatigue and overall motivation. I'm going over to the gym and work out this morning and I'm going to get the house cleaned up too. Perhaps just psychological this early. Regardless, I feel MUCH better already. I really don't see the smell or sticky issues, seems about like hand sanitizer. Rub it in a minute or so, no smell or stickiness. Happy!"

My BED was stealing my life from me- every ounce of energy I had was spent searching out food and then eating until I couldnt eat another bite, my BED was getting worse, over 18 months I spent 10k on food and went from 135-205. When my doctor told me about this drug I was excited- however skeptical because it sounded too good to be true. I started feeling feeling its effects right away. 18 months later and I am 60 lbs lighter. My BED is still a part of my life, I still have strong cravings; however now i feel in control. This drug has changed my life and allowed me to live again."

Being assured that it was the same thing and that keeping ortho would cost about 150, I went ahead and took the generic. I could only make it through 1 and a half packs before I couldn't take the side effects anymore. I was gaining a lot of weight for no reason, constantly bloated, breaking out, fatigued, suddenly depressed for no reason, spotting and even my period just starting for no reason! I finally finished my second pack today but my period started a week ago. Told the pharmacy to switch me back, worst BC, not the same as ortho lo."

I noticed pain in my right side under my ribs. I just brushed it off. I had a baby in Dec 2008 and tried it again, lost some weight had pain again still dismissed it as nothing. A month ago April 2013 my Dr put me on it because I had been taking a medication that made me gain weight. I lost 21 pounds in 3 weeks, which was great but now for the problem.

I have taken 4 of these clarithromycin and I think they may be the devil in pill form. I have had nothing but shortness of breath, stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhoea since. Apparently they are common side effects, but this seems ridiculous. I felt better of with just the pneumonia than with being on these!"

I made myself choose to eat correctly. On top of this I has HORRIBLE side effects. It started with day 1. I didn't feel well, extremely tired and could not get my thoughts together. This continued each day along with dry mouth and dry itchy eyes. My vision was weird and my eyes seemed to be extremely light sensitive. My coworkers made comments to me every day regarding my eyes and why I kept making mistakes. My brain was not functional. I stopped taking topiramate and felt better the first day without it.

I'm pretty tough and have a high pain tolerance. This is not pain. This makes me wish for death. This should be used for modern day torture purposes only. I have tried to get it all out, I've taken benadryl. This was a big mistake. I feel so stupid for not just asking my Dr. for Diflucan."

In the first few weeks after the implant I got a bit of a scabby scalp but that has cleared. After 2 weeks - light period lasting 10 days (bleeding 6 days, light tampons then brown discharge for 4 days). I then had 2 weeks of no bleeding then 7 days bleeding, more like 2 days bleeding and 5 days spotting or brown discharge. Then 3 weeks of no bleeding. Irregular bleeding is annoying but better than a baby! Minimum maintenance contraception suits me and my boyfriend. These reviews helped me so I thought I would post."

It is Sunday here and I am in Australia by the way. My 18 year old daughter was tested last week and she is negative. Thank goodness for that! I found out I was Hep C positive after I gave birth to her, assume I got from some very bad choices I made as a teenager in the Carolina's. Hopefully after this treatment it will be gone.

"I've had nexaplanon almost a year now. I got the nexaplanon when I turned 16. The first month with the birth control I had only a light period. After then I haven't had a period at all. I can barely feel the implant. It wasn't painful but however after you do get dizzy and sleepy after you get it inserted. The next day you will be more energized than ever. The only negative is that you gain weight. I went from being 180 lbs to being 220. It is horrible. I'm planning to get this taken off because of it. Overall I reccommend it if your 16 to 35 years old even to regulate periods."

Ziana

acne

"I absolutely love this medication. I was a little unsure since everything I used in the past didn't work. Went to a well known dermatolgist and I must say my skin looks so good it's really hard to grasp I had a glycolic acid peel on my first visit and started using the medication every night. I did develop a few more pimples while using but I stayed with it washing my face with Cerave hydrating cleanser morning and night like I was instructed and applying sun screen when I am outside. Today I had my second glycolic peel when the doctor saw me he was pleased with my results. It has only been 5 weeks and the good thing is, he said if I think my skin looks good now wait another 2 months. It's really amazing I went out of the house for the first time with no make up....yay! It really works."

Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone

birth control

"I started this pill on the first day of my period and have almost finished a pack now. I had a longer period followed by brown discharge for a week. This pill makes me feel fatigued the whole time just like the worst I feel before getting my period. My energy level has decreased significantly. Secondly I noticed my sex drive is gone. Last but not the least my hair is falling a lot. Initially I was going to give it another month to see if the side effects will get better but now I decide to get off this pill after the first pack. It changed how my body feels completely and I can't be this tired everyday."

Topiramate

migraine prevention

"The 2 weeks I was taking topamax ended up being the worst 2 weeks of my life. I was started on this med on Wednesday. By Monday, I was half-way through my day at work when I got lightheaded, dizzy, a terrible headache and started experiencing left sided numbness/tingling. Nearly wrecked and ended up in the ER where they diagnosed migraines. Was sent home to have a headache with left side weakness/numbness, confusion, foggy feeling for the next 2 weeks. 5 doctors appts, 2 ER visits, 1 outpatient infusion for migraines, and 1 admission to the hospital later. I finally figured out on MY OWN that when I stopped taking topamax, my symptoms got better. Although they are still not gone. My vision has changed as well as other long term effects."

Etonogestrel

birth control

"I've had the implant about 2 years. It look me about 3mos of mood swings then I stabled out. My periods & cramps aren't too crazy,Ive gained some weight but im not too sure if it has anything to do with this. The one reason why I am considering getting it removed sooner is because I've lost interest in alot of things,but my SEX DRIVE is completely gone. I've had a pretty healthy sex life. But the past year and a half i believed that something was wrong with me, after reading reviews it settles me knowing that this is a common thing that happens. I miss being intimate, I'm a completely different person and i hope i get back to normal after the removal. Worth a shot though, not pregnant!"

Escitalopram

depression

"I have had periods of rather severe depression for basically my whole adult life but never tried a medication. I recently decided to try one and asked my rheumatologist just as we were finishing up. She didn't ask me why I wanted it thus avoiding seeing me cry and did the prescription. I saw an amazing change over the following few weeks - not only mood change, no more crying spells, best sleep I have had in 20 years or more, but I no longer obsess about things I cannot change. I have been able to give up added sugar. I have lost a bit of weight down to 103lbs and my (how do I say this) - my intestines are working as they have not done since childhood. I am amazed! "
