174,007 | Valium | anxiety | "I was first prescribed Valium about 18 months ago to assist with combating panic disorder. My personal experience with generic brands of the drug have been, without a doubt, excellent. I believe my improvements are due to the combination of Valium, regular CBT therapy, and making consistent changes (ie pushing myself socially, improving diet and exercise). Many of us, can become overly reliant on medication, so I feel a holistic approach is needed for real, long term results. However, for moderate to severe anxiety/panic attacks, Valium is INCREDIBLE. Gives a true, gradual calming effect, with no grogginess or next-day hangover. The effect can only be described as feeling clear-headed. Definitely worth a try." | 10 | September 26, 2016 | 97 | 113 |
49,928 | Gabapentin | ibromyalgia | "UPDATE: It worked for about a month and a half and then stopped working. Fiddling with the dose didn't help. Then I tried to stop taking it and felt bad so had to go back on and taper off very slowly. I had terrible withdrawal symptoms including mental issues and increased pain. I started in April and now its almost December. Most of that time I've been withdrawing. I've gained 70 pounds!!! Reducing the dose has not reduced the weight. This is the only drug I have ever had dependancy issues with. I will never take it again." | 1 | November 30, 2015 | 35 | 98 |
107,487 | Implanon | birth control | "I love this birth control, it is great! I do have my period sometimes and it is pretty light. There is no pill, no patch, just every 3 years place a new one, the only con is my insurance will not cover ANY type of birth control and I have to pay $850. However, much, much cheaper than a KID! I am 28 and don't really want any yet. Haven't found the "right one"." | 9 | March 11, 2011 | 1 | 74 |
217,820 | Strattera | adhd | "I was on this for ADHD and while I did see a noticeable improvement in my ability to concentrate and not be running around acting all hyper, it worked a little too well if you know what I mean. I had a heck of a time getting ready for school and I'd fall asleep on the bus ride there (I was in high school at the time). I also couldn't keep my head up in first period and would constantly snap awake at loud sounds or giggles in the classroom, not realizing I'd even fallen asleep. It wouldn't wear off until second or third period, so mornings were awful. I would be so zombie-like and sleepy no matter how much rest I got the night before. Eventually I quit taking it because I didn't like feeling like a walking corpse in the mornings." | 7 | September 13, 2012 | 51 | 143 |
3,605 | Lorcet 10 / 650 | back pain | "Very effective, helps daily motivation in terms of getting going without that shocking, nagging pain. Its depressing but helps the body function where without the medication its demotivating and furthers the negative aspect of ones well-being and self worth toward a productive life and social feeling of being needed. The medication simply assists me to function where without I am no longer an asset to anything up to this point in my life, including my own self esteem." | 9 | October 13, 2013 | 32 | 78 |
78,246 | Lasix | edema | "I was prescribed the generic form of Lasix a few days ago for severe peripheral edema. The doctor had me taking 20 mg twice a day for three days and now I'm taking 20 mg. So far, I have notice only a subtle difference/improvement in the major swelling of my feet, ankles, legs and abdomen. I am experiencing an increase in frequency of urination, as others have described, but it doesn't seem like I 'm voiding enough, which may be why I am still so swollen. It has been only four days on Lasix and I am in terrible pain. Hopefully, the swelling will subside or at least decrease, otherwise, I will be contacting the MD for advice. I have also experienced headaches daily since I began the medication. I have been extremely dizzy as well." | 6 | November 22, 2015 | 77 | 136 |
139,806 | Nora-Be | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I would not recommend this pill for anyone, not any progesterone only pill. Bloating that makes me look 3 months pregnant, constipation, 50 pounds of weight gain in under 2 years that won't exercise off, skin feeling too tight all the time, headaches, fatigue, appetite is weird, constipation and diahhrea, mood swings, hot and cold flashes, and a never ending period. Medical staff all say it's normal and can't be the pill...so it's all in my head. I stopped this pill 2 nights ago and lost a third of my stomach as the bloating is decreasing.
Stay away from these pills!" | 1 | April 24, 2016 | 15 | 101 |
135,255 | Zegerid | gerd | "I had no symptoms of GERD, but a nagging chronic cough that seemed to originate from the back of my throat, not from my lungs. It would occur suddenly and without any warning. I could get relief from popping a Hall's cough drop, but my cough was so frequent (about 20 times a day). I was also clearing my throat all the time. My voice became gravelly at times, too. My co-workers were giving me grief over this cough. After trying several medications, my PCP referred me to a gastroenterologist, who gave prescribed Zegerid. I took 40 mg twice daily. My cough improved over the next 3 days, and disappeared. It has been almost a month. However, that nagging cough is beginning to creep back, along with the throat-clearing and gravel-voice." | 9 | June 8, 2010 | 23 | 131 |
215,244 | Lubiprostone | constipation, chronic | "I have been taking Amitiza for about a week now. I have been having an average of 1 bowel motion per day! I used to move only 3 per week, so I'd say it is working wonders so far." | 8 | April 28, 2010 | 22 | 39 |
202,756 | Hydroxychloroquine | rheumatoid arthritis | "I was diagnosed with RA in October 2010 and have been on Plaquenil (200mg 2x/day) and Celebrex (200mg/day) for 3 months now. I've noticed a slight improvement in my hands and fingers as far as morning/evening swelling goes but the stiffness and pain still persist. I go back to see the RA doc next week and am hoping he can either increase the dose or add something else to the mix because I'm still not feeling all that great." | 5 | January 9, 2011 | 71 | 79 |
75,616 | L-methylfolate | depression | "Deplin has saved my life. For two years I have struggled with debilitating depression and anxiety. I have been on every anti-depressant and anti-psychotic, and went through sixteen sessions of ECT. A fourth visit in the hospital landed me under the care of a psychiatrist who finally ordered genetic testing for me, and we learned I have the gene-mutation that impairs folate production. Started Deplin 15 mg eight days ago and I feel absolutely wonderful. Mood is great, anxiety has improved significantly, and I feel so peaceful. My energy level is up, and I feel hopeful and full of life again. I am so relieved and happy I could cry." | 10 | November 6, 2016 | 108 | 110 |
6,640 | Epoetin alfa | anemia, chemotherapy induced | "I found this medicine to be a life saver. After my first month of treatment for CLL/SLL, I was thrown into chemo-induced anemia extremely quickly. After having a rough week with a small fever, my hemo-oncologist gave me a shot of this and one week later I thought I had been reborn! Terrific stuff and will help platelets out magnificently! Give it a shot, no pun intended. Feel Better & Take Care!" | 9 | July 21, 2012 | 31 | 72 |
30,899 | Miconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "I got the Monistat 7 and got through 2 treatments before I stopped using it. The 1st treatment I slept through the night but woke up The next day super itchy and my back door was burning. I thought that the itching was from the medicine leaking all out. I wanted to put more in since the box says it is supposed to relieve itching but I waited. That night the itching was gone so I thought the medicine was working. Boy was I wrong. Used 2nd dose and woke up 3 hours later itchy, burning and needing to pee really bad. It hurt to pee, which hadn't happened for a couple of days. The itching and burning was so bad I couldn't fall back asleep. After 2 hours I looked up reviews, immediately washed it out and used an ice pack. CAUTION ANYONE FROM USING!" | 1 | April 29, 2017 | 4 | 146 |
505 | Medroxyprogesterone | birth control | "I'm 32 yrs old. I went on Depo-Provera for 3 months and it was horrible. I constantly felt like I was running a fever and sweating like crazy. I had horrible PMS but no period. The only good thing about it was the convenience." | 3 | August 14, 2014 | 11 | 44 |
75,372 | Vistaril | sedation | "I have tried Ambien, Cymbalta, Clonazepam, etc for insomnia. All have had the opposite effect - keeping me awake worse than if I hadn't taken anything. Nothing has helped me sleep as well as Vistaril, with no side effects. I wake up refreshed every morning without any fatigue." | 9 | July 1, 2008 | 221 | 48 |
204,347 | BuSpar | anxiety | "I am always hungry since starting Buspar and getting fat! But it does help with anxiety. Doctor denies it can cause weight gain. How can I stop gaining weight and lose??" | 5 | November 26, 2016 | 42 | 31 |
49,045 | Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel | abnormal uterine bleeding | "To preface this, this is merely my experience, for everyone's experience may be different.
I was prescribed this after having abnormal periods (skipping 1-3 months, and upon arrival, lasting for 1-2 weeks in addition to excruciating pain). During the first month, the first week I felt somewhat nauseated and tired, but the rest it cleared away. Acne was gone, period was lighter.
However, starting now on the second month, I am completely repulsed by food and have other gastrointestinal symptoms on top of pre-existing conditions (which is a problem for someone who does weight training) and I'm tired pretty often, thus I will no longer be taking it.
Additionally, Orsythia has also made my mental illness symptoms far worse." | 4 | September 5, 2016 | 6 | 119 |
139,780 | Nora-Be | birth control | "My experience with this pill has been okay but my periods do last longer now for about 8 days and I also spot in between which is very annoying. I also take the pill at the same time everyday. I don't think I'll be staying on this pill for to much longer." | 7 | June 16, 2015 | 10 | 52 |
125,861 | Viibryd | depression | "I have been on 10mg of viibryd for about a month. I have a low drug tolerance and I couldn't get past the side effects of the other drugs I've tried. Viibryd had very minimal side effects that are now gone (vivid dreams and brain zaps). My anxiety has significantly lessened and I'm out of that depression fog. What a relief to be out of that negative state and constant worry! It just goes to show that differnt drugs work differently for everyone. Viibryd isn't well reviewed, but the ones that are highly scored didn't work for me at all. Don't give up or be afraid to find your perfect fit." | 10 | May 22, 2016 | 57 | 111 |
184,940 | Trolamine salicylate | pain | "Myofkex is best cream i have found for immediate pain relief for all my joints. I use for my knees, feet and hands.
Disappointed that I have to order it on line to get it.
It works every time." | 10 | June 1, 2016 | 9 | 39 |
492 | Medroxyprogesterone | birth control | "I have been on DEPROVERA shot for about a year and a half. It works of course. But I have recently decided to quit with the shots because of the horrible side effects. I have headaches every single day. I just want to sleep and that's all I want to do. Im a very active person so that was easy to notice. Also, I get horrible shooting pains that is in my lower stomach and back." | 10 | January 3, 2014 | 17 | 76 |
46,231 | Modafinil | atigue | "I find modafinil it more effective than caffeine although the initial effects seemed to wear off after about 8 hours or so. There are definitely less side effects than with other prescription stimulants such as phentermine or ritalin.Being in a creative field, I%u2019d personally recommend Modalert 200 to people who have troubles brainstorming and have to work on complex projects. I%u2019ve been regularly ordering mine online. And my experience has been pretty good." | 10 | September 14, 2016 | 13 | 73 |
210,955 | Mirtazapine | anxiety | "I took citalapram for nine weeks unsuccessfully and mirtazapine for 8months, too many side effects, numb emotional feelings and made anxiety worse , feeling aggressive, aching joints,big changes in weight and bodily functions , not easy to withdraw from either, worsening thoughts, (don't think relapse, think it's the drug) or you'll end up back on it. My opinion is never again, beware!" | 1 | December 18, 2015 | 31 | 62 |
61,560 | Citalopram | panic disorde | "I have tried a lot of different antidepressants in the past few would work but stop working for a while. I even took one where it just simply made me feel like I didn't want to be bothered with any one. The sound of someone's voice made me cringe and if someone touched me I just wanted to ripe their faces completely off. But since I have been on Celexa I feel absolutely excellent and I was taking Abilify with it. With those two combined I would pray with people and counsel with a youth group. Enjoyed the heck out of life much more. But unfortunately I can't afford abilify any more and I have been trying but no luck. I wish a miracle would come my way. But this is just wishful imagination on my part." | 10 | January 10, 2017 | 7 | 137 |
141,547 | Escitalopram | generalized anxiety disorde | "I have no depression only anxiety disorder and panic attacks. On Lexapro 10 mg for almost two weeks. Anxiety definitely has decreased already. I actually think I was in a better mood off the Lexapro, because I didn't suffer from depression in the first place. It has a desensitizing effect in the sense that I know there are things still present that would normally make me go into a panic or severely anxious, however, I almost don't care. I know it's there, but emotionally I am not affected. I have had side effects such as sweaty palms and feet, jitters, spacey at times, hard to get out what I want to say when it pertains to something that may be a stressor. Horrible yawning, fatigue and sleepiness. A slight bit of dry mouth and trouble focusing." | 8 | July 2, 2013 | 56 | 136 |
62,019 | Citalopram | anxiety and stress | "I have been citalopram for over a year from a recent breakdown. I have been on in the past for PND and it works for me. I have dropped my dose to 5mg every second to third day, but with Christmas coming up I increased my dose to 5mg a day, but I forgot about the side effects as my anixety is 100% I know it will pass but it's hard to keep the self talk going." | 9 | December 28, 2015 | 5 | 77 |
150,407 | Sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim | urinary tract infection | "I'm on day 2 of treating a urinary tract infection. I have been trying my best not to puke. I'm so nauseous, tired, and dizzy. I've had an irritation from my UTI it hasn't cleared up yet, so I will have to see what the rest of the week brings. I've never had problems with antibiotics before." | 2 | December 12, 2016 | 12 | 57 |
44,902 | Fluoxetine | obsessive compulsive disorde | "Ok so I also have depression, anxiety and body dismorphic disorder. I am a recovering alcoholic, and up until my last relapse I took Prozac. I then switched to Effexor (after being on Prozac for approx 8 years), and my compulsions went away! I only realized how compulsive Prozac makes me b/c I restarted it (as an add on) about 2 weeks ago. I haven't had thoughts (obsessions) about hair, makeup, alcohol, ANYTHING up until I restarted Prozac. I just figured this out, and I'm blown away-- it explains so much of why I felt how I did all thru growing up, and the subsequent disorders I garnered. In me, it creates what feels like an itch inside my brain, and this itch latches on to something external (obsession). I try to wait it out, it (can't.)" | 2 | August 12, 2017 | 2 | 137 |
20,120 | Macrobid | urinary tract infection | "Wasted my money on this antibiotic. Made me feel so nauseated for several hours after taking it, & gave me diarrhea, but I tried it for four days, twice daily, hoping it might treat the UTI I had it prescribed for. No such luck Yet. Still having symptoms of burning, urgency and frequency; now I'll be going back to the clinic, to wait for hours and get a new script. Wait in line at the pharmacy, pay more money...Such a waste of precious time, money & sick leave." | 1 | June 3, 2016 | 10 | 88 |
111,478 | Olopatadine | allergic rhinitis | "Generic now available =CHEAP! This stuff is AMAZING!
When I'm exposed to an allergen, perfume or pollen, etc., Patanase can squash it within seconds and keeps me from getting sick. It's a miracle! Since it's a nasal spray applied intranasal, it works extremely fast. While not marketed as a decongestant or specifically marketed for vasomotor rhinitis (non-allergic rhinitis), it works amazingly on both aspects! They should label it as a decongestant (it works better than pseudoephedrine & phenylephrine put together). I'd say it's as good if not better than Afrin (and doesn't come with the rebound congestion/potential addiction). Hold you head chin to chest looking down while you spray to keep it from going into your throat." | 10 | February 15, 2016 | 5 | 117 |
77,913 | Silver sulfadiazine | burns, external | "I was boiling some water to make tea a Big 5 gallon pot of water and it got dumped off the stove all down my legs luckily my grandmother had a container silver sulfadiazine in the medicine cabinet I grabbed it and rubbed it on my Burns immediately and it didn't leave any scars and to burn completely went away" | 10 | March 31, 2016 | 6 | 60 |
101,118 | Rexulti | depression | "in my third week of 05 mg as add on to Paxil, After first week I thought to myself, "so this is what its like to feel good, up beat and happy" Now this week i definately notice increase in appetite, constantly snacking and looking for something to eat. That will not make me happy as weight issues were already a problem. Also a bit troublesome is I am feeling tingling in my arm. from wrist all the way up to my elbow. Tingling numb, soemthing is off. My guess its the rexulti. See doctor on MOnday and will update. If it gets worse I will follow up sooner" | 8 | May 5, 2016 | 41 | 109 |
29,990 | Klonopin | anxiety | "Takes time to come up, this is a problem when you have a panic attack, suicidal thoughts and anxiety go away within an hour but they go away, it's like a emergency button, it has saved my life from suicide. Dependence builds within months." | 9 | April 29, 2016 | 63 | 44 |
169,174 | Tenuate Dospan | obesity | "I have taken Tenuate for 2 months now and lost almost 20 pounds. This is HUGE for me as I had tried and failed to lose weight -any weight- on my own for years. In addition to helping me lose weight, on it I have more energy and a better mood, so I did some research and found that the medicine apparently also works on increasing the serotonin in the brain. Good stuff - I've been very happy with it." | 10 | August 13, 2012 | 73 | 80 |
138,873 | Phentermine | weight loss | "This medicine is wonderful to help you lose weight! When I started it I lost 10 pounds in less than 2 weeks! My husband lost a total of 60 pounds in about 8 months. We both have since stopped the pills (once we reached our goal weight) and the weight piles right back on once you stop the pills. I am actually 15 pounds HEAVIER than when I began them & my husband has gained all his weight back & then some. If you never plan to get off the pills then they work. If you totally do a lifestyle change and start dieting then they will work. BUT, after 3 days off of them I was hungrier than ever and had to fight the urges to eat. The urges won obviously." | 3 | March 15, 2010 | 24 | 132 |
80,718 | Tussionex Pennkinetic | cough | "This is the nastiest looking and tasting medicine I have ever taken. With that said, the medicine works the best for a cough. I kept myself and my husband awake at night coughing. I took this medicine (only at night) and it worked like a charm. This is the best medicine for a cough (I don't waste my money on Robitussin or Mucinex) and is my go-to medicine whenever I get a pesky cough." | 10 | January 3, 2013 | 18 | 74 |
44,894 | Fluoxetine | major depressive disorde | "Amazing effective medicaction. Works like magic. Makes me relax and happier and enhanced my sexual drive. Very safe and I LOVE IT. Overall, this medication changed my life and enhanced everything and helped me function in a very short time that I stopped taking it." | 9 | August 22, 2017 | 16 | 45 |
143,790 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I got this in December of 2015. The first couple of months we're okay, to say the least. Normal period, but as time passed my periods have become longer (lasting 12-18 days). It's basically pointess to even be on this birth control if I never get to have sex with my boyfriend. Although, all the times we have made love it has been unprotected (no condom). But I'm honestly getting really sick of being on my period nearly the whole month just to start again a couple of weeks or so just to do it all over again. Seriously contemplating getting this removed. So I guess:
A+ for it not letting me get pregnant
F-- for making me feel like a big pile of poop for 12-18 days a month
C- over all though" | 4 | October 4, 2016 | 7 | 134 |
83,907 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "I started my birth control journey with Monessa and switched to Sprintec after one year. I have been using Sprintec for the past two years, and it has really worked great for me. My periods have been shorter with a vast decrease in cramps. My acne has cleared since starting the birth control. I have also noticed that I have lost more weight on Sprintec than I did on Monessa. I went from 120 to 115 when I switched bc (5' 3"). I have not had to worry about getting pregnant while using the medication properly. If I ever forget a pill, I usually take it as soon as I remember. Also, this generic version is affordable!" | 10 | October 8, 2017 | 2 | 117 |
57,770 | Acetaminophen / hydrocodone | pain | "I get shoulder and neck pain, also very painful headaches. Norco 7.5/325 made my life possible to recover and cope. I've been on all the strong stuff and hydrocodone works almost as well as your "high potency" opiates. For me I give it a 10 it helps the pain and allows me to function." | 10 | January 8, 2014 | 29 | 54 |
217,572 | Clarithromycin | sinusitis | "I have been on it for 10 days and don't feel any better. It gives me a metallic taste and heartburn. It also caused me to have vivid dreams and problems sleeping." | 2 | January 27, 2013 | 30 | 32 |
97,080 | Contrave | weight loss | "Well just have start by saying so far so good. I have read other comments and was scared to start this but it is day 2 and I feel great. I had no side effects, since I told my doctor that I binge eat at night she advised to take the pill around 5 PM. 7:00 o clock came around and I had no desire to look for a snack or have a cup of coffee. I started to pack my kids lunches and didn't touch a snack which was something I always did. I had Gastric Bypass in 2003 starting weight was 305 got down to 165 at my lowest, which was great since I'm 5'6 and at my lowest I wore a size 6. I saw the doctor because I started gaining weight and presently are up to 216 lbs. I refuse to gain it all back. I will get write again in a week. Good Luck" | 9 | February 16, 2017 | 30 | 159 |
118,307 | Naltrexone | opiate dependence | "I was a heavey IV user for 2 years have been in and out of treatmeant programs relasping every time. My doctor who was prescribing me subs told me she had to cut me off because I could not pass urine analysis. So basicallly she started telling me about this shot that she was getting trained on and could give me next week, the vivitrol shot. She told me I needed to be at least 7 days clean before getting it otherwise I would have severe withdrawal. Finally I manned up went in to see my doctor told her I couldn't stay clean and that I had used the previous day but I wanted her to give me the shot anyway. Got the shot by the time I got to the car iIwas in full out precipitated withdrawal. Day 4 feeling better just cant sleep at all." | 6 | February 25, 2016 | 51 | 147 |
149,378 | Mirena | birth control | "I'm 29 years old and just had my 4th child. I got it inserted 7 weeks after having my 4th child. Insertion didn't hurt, just a little cramping. I felt dizzy for the 1st 20 minutes. Went to work and had light spotting. Now on my 4th day with the Mirena and I still have light cramping and spotting is now turning into regular bleeding. So far so good!" | 5 | June 30, 2014 | 12 | 69 |
105,585 | Methylprednisolone | allergic rhinitis | "Pros: day one I was able to breathe again and the drainage / stuffiness went away. Added bonus is some recurring acne on the back of my head went away.
Cons: severe abdominal pain, sweating, and racing heart. I slept maybe 30 minutes that night." | 3 | April 27, 2017 | 6 | 45 |
227,088 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I was warned about spotting before getting this. But I thought spotting meant a little bleeding here and there. After 3 months my periods are heavier than they were before and now I haven't stopped bleeding for over 3 weeks! I have breakouts more than normal and slight weight gain. I would deal with those side effects though but the bleeding is out of control! I'm calling my doctor in the morning to get this thing out!" | 3 | June 10, 2014 | 3 | 77 |
205,651 | Pristiq | depression | "I just recently started taking it (a little less than 2 weeks ago). The first day I was very giddy and kept getting a tingly feeling from my head to my toes. Than it stopped after the second day but I did experience the hot sweats, loss of appetite, nausea and lack of sleep. The sleep was the worst thing! I woke up almost every hour every night for 2 weeks straight! I was either waking up and feeling wired or waking up because of the hot sweats and I'm only 23! If you want advice, do not take caffeine until some of these side effects go away because it will make you way more wired than usual and you'll feel very uncomfortable. Also, do not DRINK ALCOHOL. 1 sip of wine and felt dizzy for at least an hour!" | 8 | September 29, 2011 | 6 | 140 |
112,208 | Contrave | obesity | "I been on this medicine for 2 1/2 months and have lost 26.5 pounds so far. I can't eat on this medicine. After a few bites I feel stuffed. It works great for me, and I have tried every thing out in the past 10 years. The only side effects are dry mouth and lower back pain. Well worth the trade-off." | 10 | February 8, 2015 | 209 | 61 |
113,228 | Bisacodyl | constipation | "This medicine is horrible! I am 16 and just found out that I have chronic constipation. My GI told me to take this pill to help with my whole body clean-out. These cramps are worst than period cramps! I feel nauseous, I'm sweating, and it only feels better when I curl into a ball! My mother gave me another one because I didn't think the first was working but now I wish I had just stuck to my miracle-mover. (Miralax)" | 2 | December 4, 2015 | 3 | 80 |
231,189 | Peginterferon alfa-2a | hepatitis c | "I agree, this medicine is grueling along with the Ribavirin pills that need to be taken but it works. I'm 6 months into treatment and at 12 weeks my viral load was "undetectable"." | 5 | June 1, 2009 | 19 | 33 |
113,882 | Tegretol | peripheral neuropathy | "Regarding my peripheral neuropathy: Had reached max daily allowable level of Neurontin and was put on Tegretol, 200mg, 4 x daily.

30,382 | Klonopin | insomnia | "My psychiatrist prescribed this for me less than a week ago because for way too long I was sleeping approximately 4 to 5 hours and was up obsessing for the rest of it, making me sad and tense and fretful and hopeless feeling -- not to mention tired -- each day. WHAT A DIFFERENCE ON THE FIRST TRY! Taking 1 mg at bedtime not only relaxes me enough to fall asleep, when I do wake up during the night I'm calm, smiling even, and can't wait to go back to sleep -- which I do easily. Then the whole next day is just generally better. I feel like I used to when I was younger and less "hyped out" in general. And no kidding, this has only been 6 days. Lucky me. Klonopin where have you been all my life?" | 10 | May 19, 2010 | 104 | 140 |
73,290 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "I overall was not very happy with this. The reviews were horrible online but I decided to try it anyways. It did shorten and lighten my period a lot which I loved. But I had a lot of spotting before I got my period which was annoying. I did notice my acne get worse. But no emotional effect except being more hungry, I also noticed my breast get slightly bigger but as well as my belly area. I'm 17." | 4 | May 1, 2014 | 8 | 79 |
109,945 | Nexplanon | birth control | "Had Implanon for 3 years with very heavy, long periods, switched to Nexplanon immediately afterewards (no break between b.c.)
pros: did not get pregnant, didn't have to remember to take anything. No periods for 3 years.
Cons: maybe depression, definitely caused nipple discharge (aka lactating), mood swings, hormone imbalance year 2 of implant (no sex in 6 months leading up to symptom change). 5 months after removal, still have nipped discharge and no periods, but depression/mood swings significantly lessened. Dr informed me could be up to 6 months to get back to "normal"" | 7 | May 17, 2016 | 2 | 93 |
20,180 | Macrobid | urinary tract infection | "Just finished 3 days of this for a UTI and though it has worked for the condition I feel terrible ! Feel like I have no energy and like I'm going to pass out. Whole body aches ! Just phoned my chemist who told me this was quite common on this tablet and I should feel normal in a few days. Shame it's my wedding anniversary today as I just want to go to sleep all day. Won't take this one again it's not worth it." | 4 | September 19, 2015 | 14 | 86 |
179,425 | Olanzapine | depression | "Found this medication very effective in my withdrawals from both alcohol and weed. It stops my racing thoughts and keeps me calm. However it does somewhat make you zombie like and unable to feel emotions." | 8 | February 1, 2011 | 81 | 35 |
131,659 | Effexor XR | major depressive disorde | "I've been on Effexor xr for 2 weeks and it's great. I had been on Zoloft before and it pooped out on me so my doc switched me to Effexor xr and after 2 days I started feeling good again. I take 37.5 mg per day. I come back to write here because I wanna give back to this forum and give hope for anybody that suffer from this like me. keep to try the med that suit for you. best wish!" | 10 | July 8, 2016 | 30 | 82 |
109,276 | Nexplanon | birth control | "This is honestly the first review I have ever done for any medication. I generally just get off of something if it isn't working for me....But I wish I had read this review before I had made the choice to get the Nexplanon. I am a 31 year old woman. Mother of 3. Birth Control was no new things to me. I'm used to a little weight gain, acne, painful periods or none at all. All while things balance out. I had the Nexplanon for 18 months after giving birth to my daughter and it was SO HORRIFIC. Mood swings, anxiety out of control, hot flashes and 50 lbs weight gain. Within 2 months of getting it taken out I have lost 25 lbs with zero change of diet. PLEASE do not get this thing. " | 1 | February 9, 2017 | 1 | 136 |
52,620 | Doryx | acne | "My dermatologist prescribed this to me for cystic acne. While it did clear up the acne I had horrible side effects. My hair was falling out more than usual, my gums were always swollen and puffy, and the worst of it was getting cdiff. Of course cdiff is a rare side effect and I ended up getting it, but I will never take this medication again." | 3 | June 26, 2016 | 7 | 66 |
72,241 | Tramadol | ibromyalgia | "My doctor prescribed Tramadol for my fibromyalgia - which I have had for 20 years - about 8 months ago. Over the years the symptoms have lessened, but some days it is just hard to get up - pain, achy, foggy headed. I tried the Tramadol and it killed the pain almost immediately plus it had an unexpected extra bonus. I have had a lot of foot pain for many years and sometimes could barely hobble around - the pain was gone. I could actually put on shoes and not be in misery. I'm going to London in a few weeks and now don't worry about the tours and being in pain. This medicine is my lifesaver. I have had two bad experiences with it though both drug interactions with allergy medications - sweating, headache and vomiting. Take it alone." | 9 | August 29, 2012 | 51 | 140 |
174,753 | Dulera | asthma, maintenance | "Have been on this for 6 weeks, and have to discontinue due to severe insomnia, heart pounding and chest pain.

102,464 | Aripiprazole | bipolar disorde | "I take abilify 15mg for voices and a mood stabilizer. I take it in the form of an injection and I've been on it for 7 months. It has dulled the voices drastically and stopped my severe mania. I am now able to think logically and the constant brain fog that I was suffering from has been lifted.I gave it 9 out of 10 because I still suffer from depression related to my ptsd. I currently am taking 20mg of Fluoxetine for my severe anxiety and depression.The only side effects I had from abilify was seeing faint flashes in the dark and slight tongue tremors. Other than that ablilify has worked wonders for me . I no longer experience mania and I am so grateful because I was extremely wild when I was manic." | 9 | August 14, 2016 | 17 | 134 |
19,577 | Pregabalin | generalized anxiety disorde | "I am taking 2 x 300mg per day (plus 20 mg Lexapro, plus 30 mg Mirap). Anxiety is decreased, confidence is increased. I have dizziness, but I am able to drive ok. I have tremors and heart racing. No weight gain or other side effects yet. I feel the medicien helps my brain to be more constructive and ordered. I stopped taking the Lexapro a year ago, but my doctor doesn't know. Tried missing the Lyrica for two days and felt very low, not easy to get off this." | 9 | May 2, 2013 | 58 | 89 |
13,383 | Amphetamine / dextroamphetamine | adhd | "Before Adderall couldn't keep a job longer than a few months, I changed majors in college over 6 times, I couldn't finish anything in my life. Four years ago I went through a divorce and knew I was going to have to work full-time to support myself. I went to my doctor and told him everything, I was diagnosed with severe adult ADD and prescribed 20mg of Adderall xr once a day. Today, I am still at the same job, have been promoted, and in school to finish my master's degree. I can honestly say if it wasn't for Adderall I have no idea where I would be. I now take 20mg xr two times a day and have for the last three years it still works great. Lately my moods have been all over the place so seen a psychiatrist and am starting lexapro in addition" | 10 | June 11, 2016 | 48 | 147 |
108,384 | Bupropion / naltrexone | obesity | "I started taking Contrave on 4/20. My starting weight was 276, I am now down to 262. At first I didn't change my diet and continued to eat fried foods. I quickly realized that was a BAD idea as it made me quite nauseated. My appetite is greatly decreased. My b/f bought me a big pack of Reese Peanut Butter cups, they stayed in the freezer for 3 days, which is groundbreaking because normally I would have eaten all four right then and there. It wasn't only my restraint, but that I actually didn't crave them or have a desire to eat chocolate at all. I am a choco-holic, and I have NEVER dismissed chocolate in my life. I have not even reached the full dosage yet, but I feel that it is working very well." | 8 | May 6, 2015 | 34 | 136 |
97,412 | St. john's wort | depression | "I have dealt with moderate to severe depression on/off since my early 20s (I'm now almost 40). I have several antidepressants and found Zoloft was the only med that worked, so I remained on a dose of 100 mg for almost 10 years. I did try to wean myself off on 3 separate occasions, as I no longer wanted to be on pharma drugs, but every time I had terrible withdrawal symptoms. I finely decided to try St. John's Wort instead. I have been on 900mg daily for close to 1 year. St. John's Wort was helpful in combating the withdrawal symptoms I continued to have even weeks after discontinuing the Zoloft, but I continue to have mild depressed mood with irritability. I am going to stop St. John's Wort and try 5-HTP." | 2 | June 11, 2017 | 15 | 133 |

105,262 | Carbamazepine | peripheral neuropathy | "I had shingles 10 years ago in my mouth and it developed into Trigiminal Neuropathy on th eleft side of my head. ! year ago, I started with a terrible burning,electrical shok like feeling on my left foot. My toes burn terrible, My right foot feels as if it is wrapped in Plastic wrap all of the time up to my calf. My left foot feel s the same but with my toes burning. I have been taking Cymbalta,60 mgs per da(20 mgs 3 times a day) I have also been on Tegretol (800mgs per day) for 2 years. I finally had very little pain in my feet so I dropped from the 800 mgs a day of Tegretol to 600 mgs last Monday. I thought I was taking the Tegretol for my mouth burning constantly from the Trigiminal Neuralgia and Migraines and thought I'd give it a try to drop down to the 600 mgs to see if it made any difference. Since last MOnday, my right toes are burning constantly again, and I've had migraines caused from the Trigiminal Neuralgia. I am DEFINITELY CONVINCED Tegretol along with Cymbalta have been my saving grace from pain. The two, together are almost stopping my pain completely in my head AND MY FEET. It's amazing the difference and only since last MOnday. If you can take Tegretol AND Cymbalta together I suggest doing it. Both are great medicines." | 9 | February 29, 2016 | 7 | 237 |
20,569 | Nucynta | pain | "Was put on this by my PD for around the clock pain relief. At first it seemed to work fine with minimal sides. The ER that I was on definitely didn't last anywhere close to what the company claims in their literature. Could feel it wearing off after just 3 hrs. Sides were minimal but the hot feeling that some have mentioned here started becoming very annoying, and that was only with the 100's. Mentioned this to my PD and all she did was put me on a higher dose - something tells me she must be getting huge kickbacks from Janssen, the mfr." | 6 | April 15, 2016 | 36 | 104 |
153,882 | Sitavig | cold sores | "This medication is kind of cool. A tablet that can stick on your gums? My only complaint is that it takes a LONG time to dissolve- over 12 hours. If you've ever had braces, it's nothing, but just annoying especially when you try to eat, brush your teeth, or drink water. I'd recommend doing it right before bed if at all possible. Unfortunately, I took it a couple days after I got a cold sore since it's a prescription and you can't see most doctors immediately. I will say, I can tell the healing process happened quicker with this medication. The above comment is false, as several insurance companies will cover the majority of the cost. I paid $35 for two pills... (Not like that's cheap but definitely better than paying $300 or w/o insurance)." | 7 | July 24, 2015 | 9 | 135 |
123,049 | Avinza | pain | "I was diagnosed with a rare form of Lupus (as a teen) 24 years ago, 6years later with Raynauds and fibromyalgia. Over the years, I have tried many pain medicines, some have helped and some haven't, but most have had multiple side effects and/or interactions with my other necessary medicines. In 2004 I was in the hospital while I was out of remission and I had a slip and fall, this accident resulted in three herniated discs. Since then I've been taking Avinza 120mg, with Vicodin 10/650 for breakthrough pain and I can honestly say, this is the best pain coverage I've had in 24 years with only 1 side effect.... constipation, which Miralax takes care of." | 9 | June 6, 2009 | 22 | 117 |
195,341 | Glatiramer | multiple sclerosis | "Hi all! I started copaxone 2 months ago. So far so good only a little redness in the injection site but I think that that's nothing compared to the damage ms can do. I have a sister that is blind and handicap so I will try to do my best to help myself even if the site injections gets bad every time I inject. Nothing is perfect in life. So far that's the only reaction redness and I do use autoinject. I don't drink or smoke and I also take vitamin d every morning 2 or 3 gummies 2000 mg. only thing I am missing is that I still put sugar in my coffee :( I read sugar is not good. That will be my next years resolution. God bless all of you!" | 9 | December 18, 2015 | 41 | 133 |

I was OK while wearing it but a few hours after I took it off I got dizzy and very nauseated with blurred vision. Dramamine helped some. Next day I felt awful but ran a half Marathon and ended up in urgent care because I was so nauseated after and my arms were tingling. He gave me meclazine which has helped some but its still going in 4 days later. Hoping it ends soon." | 3 | October 16, 2012 | 12 | 90 |

154,569 | Bunavail | opiate dependence | "This medicine initially killed the withdrawal, but after five days I realized I was still having cravings really badly. Also, it felt like I was dragging a thirty pound weight around with me coupled with severe depression. Most pharmacies do not carry this medication and most pharmacists I spoke with had not even heard of this drug. All in all I had to hunt this med down and special order it only to find out it sucks. And yes I was taking it correctly the print side facing out towards my inner cheek lining. I am going back to the doc to ask for the one and only Suboxone." | 1 | November 1, 2016 | 16 | 109 |
100,002 | Desogestrel / ethinyl estradiol | birth control | "I have been taking this birth control for four months now. The first was the worst, I was irritable, frequently sad, lethargic and just overall moody. It cleared up my face and didn't change much in the way of flow on my period but, did make them shorter. My sex drive has also decreased as well as my eating habits. I find myself less hungry but, my breasts have grown in size. Now four months later I've been spotting non-stop for the past two weeks and my face is breaking out in acne that rests under the skin. Going to change my prescription soon but, for awhile it was definitely tolerable." | 4 | July 12, 2017 | 2 | 111 |
29,257 | Topiramate | migraine prevention | "Had migraines for 7 years. Take Fioricet for pain, which works well, but I wanted to try prevention. My doctor had already tried Gabapentin, Sumatriptan, and Propranolol, all of which had side effects but did nothing for migraines. Next came Topamax. Side effects were: Slight change of taste (sodas tasted flat, bread tasted sweeter), and gradual loss of memory and concentration, such that it was hard to read or study an issue at work and be able to understand it. It did not affect my eating habits or energy levels, did not affect my weight at all. It also did nothing for my migraines. It severely impeded my ability to think and thus my ability to work in the tech field, so I stopped taking it, and my work performance improved drastically." | 1 | October 28, 2016 | 35 | 132 |
159,374 | Estrace Vaginal Cream | atrophic vaginitis | "I have been using estrace vaginal cream for 8 weeks now, about 2 x a week and it has helped my vaginal dryness and prolapse but I am experiencing side effects, anxiety, bleeding gums, joint and muscle pain, problems with sleep.

160,267 | Buspirone | anxiety | "Started taking the lowest dose, when that seemed ineffective the doctor upped the dosage, a few times. The entire time I was on the medication I had horrible dizzy spells. I had to time my taking it just right so I would be able to drive to work safely. At first I felt better. I was hoping this was the medicine that would help me with my anxiety. I had hope my body would "get used to it" and the dizziness would eventually end. That never happened. I gave it a full year (I know now how ridiculous that was). During this time period I also had really negative thoughts that I absolutely believe were linked to the medication. I have been off of it and on a different medication for almost a year now and can finally see what it was doing to me." | 1 | June 20, 2017 | 7 | 145 |

31,868 | Miconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "I'm 21 and this is my first yeast infection. I got the Monistat 7 day treatment after my best friend recommended it, terrible idea. This is my 4th night and it still burns and itches after I insert it. The itching goes away after 45 minutes or so, but the burning decides to stick around and play with my emotions for a while. I've even developed some spotting while I've been using this that occurs each day.. However, I had my boyfriend take a peak and he says that it looks like it's clearing up. That won't be enough for me to continue using this product though, I'm raising my flag and I'm giving up, the pain isn't worth my loss of sleep." | 6 | September 21, 2015 | 6 | 123 |
184,546 | Hydroxyzine | anxiety | "I was prescribed Atarax for one specific reason. I am having an MRI done and am extremely claustrophobic. I was prescribed 50mg pills. I was given 4 pills. I am to take 1 pill first to see how it effects me and then I can decide if I need another one. I took one for the first time last night and I became very sleepy. I am also on Tylenol 3 for pain. My eyes could barely stay up. However, once I closed my eyes, I was up every hour on the hour. Not sure if that is because of the anticipation of my MRI or what. I was very relaxed however, but do not suffer the anxiety attacks as bad as I did years ago and my heart goes out to those who do. I will take the two pills at MRI and give my review again then." | 6 | April 7, 2010 | 33 | 149 |
55,850 | Effexor | depression | "I have been on 75 mg now for about 3 months. Before I was completely out of it, did not want to do anything, would stay at home on the computer all day, suicide thoughts everyday. Now I'm out everyday, going to the gym. All my anger and anxiety, along with the thoughts are gone. Feels great. I highly recommend this medication. I know it will have withdrawal effects when you are getting off it but it is highly worth it, to better your life!" | 9 | May 14, 2012 | 119 | 85 |

I have tried tons of other medications and this is the only one that has given me relief without needing to supplement with antiacids!

I am amazed that my cravings are gone and reach for more healthy options. I do have the occasional headache, dry mouth and constipation, but it is tolerable. I am motivated that this may finally be my key to substantial weight loss...I'm feeling optimistic. Hoping for another 10 in 3 weeks. Will check in." | 9 | June 16, 2017 | 39 | 87 |
31,200 | Miconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "I bought this product and inserted before bed. Instantly I had a very severe itch/burn resulting in me scraping it out. This did not help one bit. The pain is equivalent to satan lighting fire balls and dancing inside my vagina. I am currently have an ice pack to try to relieve some pain. EVERYTHING DOWN THERE IS IN FLAMES.

186,048 | Desvenlafaxine | anxiety | "I have been on Pristiq for a half a year now. I started on 50mg and quickly worked my way up to 100mg. I take it specifically for anxiety. Aside from general anxiety disorder I have bipolar and so I take other drugs such as Lamictal, Lithium, and Latuda to help with depression. With Pristiq I don't experience much in the way of side effects. My doctor told me to watch out for fatigue, as it is a common side effect, but I was tired even before starting Pristiq so I can't comment on that. Recently I read about grinding teeth as an effect and finally I was able to explain why I have been doing that every day. But that's it for me. It has helped a lot with anxiety. Occasionally, however, I do have bouts. I don't think anything's full proof." | 9 | July 9, 2016 | 14 | 143 |

77,831 | Moxifloxacin | bronchitis | "I am rarely ill so have not taken a lot of medications; I also have a sensitivity to medications. I told this to the prescribing physician when seen for bronchitis. She prescribed avelox and by day 3 I had developed large red welts; went back to the Doctor who determined it was erythema nodosum. Avelox was overkill for someone like me - it was way to strong and this was a horrible side effect." | 2 | August 23, 2015 | 5 | 74 |
157,480 | Guaifenesin | ibromyalgia | "I never thought that an expectorant used to treat coughs could be this effective for Fibromyalgia pain. I am a pre-med student and when I heard about the possibility of Mucinex(Guaifenesin) being able to relieve pain caused by Fibromyalgia I decided to try it. It has worked better than NSAID'S (Ibuprofen, Aleve, Celebrex) for me. 400mg works great (600mg if using the extended release tablets.)" | 9 | April 15, 2008 | 162 | 65 |
163,588 | Mirtazapine | major depressive disorde | "Once I got over the initial cravings and groggyness (they both passed after a few weeks) it was like a dark cloud was lifted and I could finally see clearly - completely without the classic numbness and lack of personality that other common anti-depressants have.

218,980 | Depakote | epilepsy | "I have used Depakote for the past 13 years now, 500 mg per day. The only side effects were nausea and anxiety for the first day or two. At that point, I was taking 1000 mg. My neurologist pulled back the dosage to 750 mg and later 500 mg. I've never had weight gain as a result of it and notice no ill effects with light drinking. I did stop taking Depakote for about 6 months about 10 years ago and soon thereafter had a petit mal seizure. I immediately went back on Depakote and haven't had an issue since. Really couldn't be more satisfied with this medicine." | 10 | June 10, 2011 | 26 | 108 |

I've always had irregular periods, missing them for 2-3 months so that I would only get 5-6 periods the whole year. I have had no side effects at all with Microgestin. During the placebo week, I actually got my period on time as predicted and it only lasted for about 4 days. I'm used to it being very heavy and lasting a week. During the end of the 2nd week and throughout the 3rd week of the pills, I had brown discharge but that usually happens before I have my period. Overall, no complaints and it seems to be working!" | 10 | January 11, 2015 | 11 | 113 |

Now Botox worn off and still needs catheters and is in pain. He has been told he'll need to have more Botox so he won't feel the pain.

I took the pill 2 hours later and had NO SYMPTOMS whatsoever. I had to wait a whole 2 weeks for my period to come and I was afraid the pill wasn't going to work since I was really fertile. But 2 weeks later, on the EXACT day I was supposed to get my period, I got it! So this pill works! Phew! Relieved!" | 10 | February 27, 2014 | 119 | 83 |
80,522 | Mobic | inflammatory conditions | "I started taking Mobic for my plantar fasciitis a week ago. I have had the medicine for 6 months for my back, shoulder and neck pain but it did not help me. When my foot started crippling me, I took it with Skelaxin and was amazed at how quickly the pain, all my pain, disappeared. I suffer from fybromyalgia as well. Today, my body was fine but my heel was killing me. I took the mobic and I was relieved of pain within 20 to 30 mins. Mobic allowed me to walk again. Mobic with Skelaxin gave me my life back. I'm 48 do I expect pain and problems but when you hurt from your rooter to your tooter all seems hopeless. This medicine helped me tremendously. I'm more excited that I dont have to take narcotics daily." | 9 | February 5, 2015 | 112 | 138 |
85,120 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "I rated this birth control a 10, ONLY because I have not gotten pregnant and my face is always clear. Unfortunately I gained 26 pounds (I was 100lb when I first started, but not complaining) I had major mood swings, I cried at anything and everything, it gave me depression, I had irrational thoughts (totally not the kind of person I am) and also recurring yeast infections along with a very LOW sex drive. Very effective as a contraceptive, but avoid this pill if you have a history with depression." | 10 | December 12, 2015 | 5 | 90 |
