164,101 | Ibuprofen | pain | "This medicine works super for pain if you take enough. I used it for many months for back pain due to disc protrusion. Chronic use gave me stomach problems. I used too much and my doctor claimed I was passing blood so I use it sparingly now, if the Tylenol based medicines do not work well enough. It helps mild headache to where Tylenol does nothing. When you start having heartburn or loose bowel movements stop taking Ibuprofen and use something else tell your doctor or you will hurt yourself seriously. Over the counter does not mean safe to use as you wish." | 9 | October 17, 2009 | 15 | 103 |
212,683 | Invega Sustenna | schizoaffective disorde | "Wow this is like a miracle for me. More free space in my head than ever before, easy to think straight, increased motivation to look after myself, no paranoia. Overall I have found this fantastic. Was on Seroquel and have lost a few kgs already since swapping to Invega! Yay." | 9 | January 17, 2015 | 24 | 50 |
135,000 | Dapsone | acne | "I have very moderate/sporadic acne (primarily hormonal). My derm prescribed Aczone as more of a preventative treatment for those hormonal flare ups. At first, it appeared as though Aczone was helping the few pimples I had on my chin and T-zone, however, tt ended up clogging my pores really badly (cheeks and forehead). I stuck it out for 2 weeks, using as prescribed, and ultimately had to ditch it. Sad because I really wanted to love Aczone!" | 5 | March 18, 2016 | 6 | 77 |
101,070 | Rexulti | depression | "I was prescribed Rexulti when my daily depression meds began to no longer work for me. It started working almost instantly I have been on Rexulti along with my daily meds, and I have been feeling better then ever." | 10 | November 7, 2016 | 45 | 39 |
172,609 | Clonazepam | anxiety | "I was on Klonopin just recently to help my anxiety (since then I've been switched to Abilify and Effexor to help, but I may be put back on again).
I feel anxiety basically all day, everyday. It always wells within me.
Klonopin helped take the edge off of my anxiety so I could feel like I could actually breathe. I was disappointed that I was taken off, but at least I may be put back on again. It helps so much when you have terrible anxiety and need something to help you." | 10 | September 5, 2015 | 15 | 92 |
191,946 | Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol | birth control | "I was on this pill for about a month. What I loved about it is I felt great on it -periods were light, my headaches I had from previous bc were gone, I lost weight and even felt more balanced mood wise on this pill. I loved it. Then all of a sudden I got a breakout of eczema under my armpits. I have never had issue with eczema in my life. It was embarrassing because my armpits itched all the time. It also spread to my legs all of a sudden. My general doctor got some cream to put on it and it still was not clearing up after 3 weeks. I decided to switch back to my previous bc and within 2 days the eczema started to feel better and eventually cleared. I am not sure what I was allergic to in that medication but it didn't like me." | 2 | April 18, 2017 | 4 | 151 |
133,134 | Tri-Sprintec | birth control | "To all of those girls (I'm 20 but I'm confident it will work for women of other ages) who think they will never have a clear face and will forever be burdened with horrible pimples, burning acne creams, pills, scrubs etc. THIS birth control is for you! I have never done a review of anything but felt the need to let all the girls out there with bad acne that there IS help. I was on it for a month and then immediately saw results. My awful, deep, painful pimples started disappearing and within 2 months I had a perfectly clear face- no acne at all. I do have some red spots from past pimples and once in a while when I'm stressed I'll get a pimple or two but Tri Sprintec is my SAVIOR. I tried EVERYTHING for my acne and this worked." | 10 | August 28, 2013 | 18 | 144 |
22,689 | Midodrine | postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome | "Has definitely helped along with the Digoxin I take to keep me from feeling faint or dizzy. Has improved my quality of life quite a bit. The side effects (for me) are not bad enough to make me stop taking it." | 8 | July 21, 2014 | 15 | 41 |
59,742 | NuvaRing | birth control | "I switched to the NR in September of 2014 because I was constantly bleeding with my pills. I loved it! I did have mood swings right before my period and possible drop in libido, but I'm not sure if it was from the NR or due to stress. I recently have to stop NR due to it falling out. I started a new ring a week ago & could not get it to stay in place, never has this happen before. I went to the doctor and they had not explaination, so they started me on some pills. They said I could possibly try again in a month & I will. NR is not cheap, but the company does have a coupon you can use. If I can use it again I would." | 8 | January 21, 2017 | 2 | 133 |
135,314 | Tamiflu | influenza | "My hubby was diagnosed with influenza A at Urgent Care on Saturday 2/4/17. Fever 100-102 started Friday 2/3 while at school (he teaches High School). The NP swabbed his nose and mine. He tested positive for flu; I tested negative. He got rx'ed Tamiflu 2x for 5 days, and I am supposed to take 1x for 10 days to prevent. He is on day 5. Fever broke Monday, body aches were worst on Saturday, came back for a spell Monday. Today he is just tired. I took it twice and felt all geeky and wired so I quit taking it and decided I'd take it if I felt like I was getting sick. Today (wed) I woke up feeling sick, congested, weak, tired, achy so I took the tamiflu. It makes me really nauseated kind of like if u get the stomach bug. Still seems effective tho" | 7 | February 8, 2017 | 4 | 147 |
198,220 | Ranolazine | angina | "After my last MI, my only recourse was Ranexa because a stent was not able to be inserted. The next night at the hospital I had three episodes of angina like never before. I almost screamed for a nitro pill. Since being on Ranexa I have taken less than five nitro pills in over a year." | 10 | August 3, 2014 | 48 | 56 |
211,537 | Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide | hiv infection | "I switched from ATRIPLA to GENVOYA after experiencing kidney issues with atripla. I have been taking GENVOYA for just 5 days and I experienced very little side effects, which I hope they will go away with time. These side effects on me are:
- slight swelling of my tongue and glands without pain or feeling, just if I look in the mirror I can notice. This side effect is called respiratory tract inflammation.
- trouble sleeping. I just heard this issue will go away taking the pill with your breakfast instead with your dinner (as I did) so you give time to your body to metabolize Genvoya long before going to sleep. I'll try that from today.
- gassy feeling (no really a problem for me, but it is for my boyfriend hehehe)" | 9 | October 13, 2016 | 11 | 133 |
225,571 | Bupropion | seasonal affective disorde | "I have been affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder since I was in high school. For the last 10 years the winter would literally cause me to become a different person. Finally I got the courage to talk to my doctor and was put on Wellbutrin XL in July, well before the winter months. It has truly been a lifesaver. This is the first winter in 10 years where my mood has not changed at all from how I was in the summer months. I would give this medicine 100 stars if I could." | 10 | February 12, 2014 | 47 | 93 |
40,090 | Contrave | obesity | "Me and my mom (both of us are adults) both started it. She has low thryroid and I think that and menopause made her gain a lot of weight. She already lost over 10lbs and has no side effects. She said she doesn't even know she's taking it, except she has lower appetite and is kinda happier. She does seem happier, because I notice her talking more to friends and doing things, where before she had not been wanting to see people or go places for some reason. She doesn't normally want to take medicines but I am really glad she's taking the Contrave.
I am trying to quit smoking (1 of the ingredients helps w/ that). At first I felt a bit "buzzed" but now I'm used to it. So far quit smoking & have even lost a little weigh" | 9 | April 21, 2015 | 16 | 141 |
3,534 | Nitrofurantoin | urinary tract infection | "I started this medicine for my UTI I always ate a meal with this pill I really did not experience any sickness I was on it for 7 days . I have trouble anxiety but it was not too bad but it seemed like this medicine
made me more anxious at times then on my last few days I felt a little weird at times then on my last day taking the medicine I woke up with my throat scratchy then by evening I had a fever and bad chills I didn't take the last pill because I felt so bad my head kinda hurts too I don't know if it's this medicine for sure or if I'm catching a virus" | 8 | May 1, 2015 | 21 | 121 |
48,773 | Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel | birth control | "Hi Everyone I had a bad experience with this birth control. I was taking another birth control before this one. I switched to this one bc of my mood. And around the 3rd month I went crazy. I started to think weirdly I started to think I didn't love my boyfriend anymore. And I know it's not true but it is the WORST. I went off it about a month ago and I still have the worst depression and anxiety. I can't even look at my boyfriend the same anymore and it breaks my heart. But I heard it gets better and these thoughts will go away. Remember ladies never act when your on birth control it's not you! But this made my realtionship the worst. So I needed a break from birth control after this one a break is well needed!
Good luck ladies!" | 1 | March 17, 2017 | 5 | 145 |
66,653 | Toviaz | overactive bladde | "My doctor gave me the 14 day sample pack of Toviaz (4mg). By the second day, I could tell it was working. (Less trips to the bathroom). The third and fourth day I experienced some blurred vision, lasting for 30 to 60 minutes at a time. Since then I have not had blurred vision. I have been taking Toviaz for a month now and I am very happy that I don't have to look for a washroom everywhere I go. When I go out for walks I can stay out for over an hour without having to worry if I'll make it home in time! My only question at this time is could Toviaz be making me tired and if so, will the tiredness go away? Since I started taking it, I have been lacking energy. Otherwise, I like how the medicine works for me." | 7 | June 20, 2010 | 52 | 145 |
76,826 | Lorcaserin | obesity | "I am currently on belviq, I chose to write a review, because I was looking for a "real" honest/objective view of the drug. I will say this, I have taken belviq for about 1 month now. Initially, about the first 5 days I didn't notice a huge change in appetite. But by week 2, you notice it for sure. Fuller faster, and cravings for junk are a minimum. I planned to have a "cheat day" because in addition to the belviq, I've totally changed my eating habits, well cheat day comes, and I'm not craving any junk. At first the dry mouth side affect is awful but that goes away. Long story short, this medication is doing me proud. I can't say any huge weight loss yet BUT hey less eating, less chance of obesity." | 9 | February 5, 2016 | 36 | 135 |
185,828 | Saxenda | obesity | "I started taking Saxenda July 1st, Today is December 17th, I am down 45 pounds! Portions are way smaller now. I feel a lot better. I did have alot of nausea at first, my PCP suggested I inject this before bedtime to sleep through the symptoms. It has worked and now no side effects! I will continue taking this medication." | 8 | December 17, 2015 | 42 | 60 |
124,812 | Tri-Previfem | birth control | "I had been taking the name-brand of this contraceptive for probably 18 years. Then my insurance decided it would only pay for generic. I started this one in October. By Thanksgiving I had a raging allergic rash on most of my body. ER dr wrongly diagnosed me, and after 2 other dr visits and a biopsy, they discovered it was an allergy to this drug. It is now mid-February, and after 3 rounds of steroids, I STILL have some of the rash. Torture for sure!" | 1 | February 19, 2016 | 2 | 85 |
130,334 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I just had the Mirena inserted and although there were about two 30second moments of intense cramping it wasn't that painful at all. I think there are a lot of misleading experiences on the Web. Just remember that those who have had a very bad experience with a product are more likely to report it. Experiences are different for everyone. There will be a feeling of having pms cramps for awhile afterwards, so a heating pad + Aleve has been my best friends, and it is really manageable. Plus it is good for 5 years! I am very pleased with this. I had to change because I developed a deep vein thrombosis on a long flight and was no longer allowed to take estrogen. I liked the pill too though, except for that experience." | 9 | October 26, 2013 | 16 | 134 |
155,299 | Metronidazole | bacterial vaginitis | "I was extremely weary about the possible side effects of taking this medication after reading all the reviews. However, in the seven days I took it the only side effect I had was a mildly metallic taste in my mouth. I experienced no nausea or discomfort and my BV cleared within a few days. The biggest drawback was not being able to drink alcohol while on it. Don't be afraid to take it! It worked and was worth it!" | 10 | October 26, 2015 | 7 | 79 |
159,911 | Bactrim | urinary tract infection | "It's currently 12:30am, and I'm wide awake on a school night typing this. I didn't exactly have all the symptoms of a urinary tract infection, but always have the urgency to pee. I went to urgent care, and the doctor prescribed me Bactrim. I've been on it for 3 days (today will be my 4th), and I have yet to see results. According to some of you, it doesn't start working until the 5th day, which still gives me hope since the doctor told me it would work within 2 days. What I have been seeing is nausea, diarrhea, shakiness, insomnia, extreme headaches, and loss of appetite. I really hope this works. The constant urge to pee pretty much ruins what little social life I have. Having to make constant trips to the bathroom doesn't fit well with football games." | 3 | October 13, 2014 | 40 | 140 |
229,649 | Lurasidone | bipolar disorde | "Began taking 20mg Latuda daily about ten days ago. About five days ago I noticed that I'm a lot less anxious - a lot less "catastrophising" - think more clearly, most definitely happier. My appetite is back as well. Suffering far less psychomotor retardation. Actually feel motivated to do some things! Genuine laughter! Also taking Aplenzin 522mg daily. Best I've felt in recent memory. It's my experience only. " | 9 | September 27, 2013 | 73 | 69 |
196,920 | Paroxetine | depression | "Very good medication I took and in 3 days my mood improved also I found my self being more social , joking around alot more but it also made me very hyper in extremely talkative now im on the road to recovery" | 8 | February 21, 2016 | 45 | 42 |
35,421 | Levofloxacin | urinary tract infection | "I was put on a 10 day course and only made it to day 5. My muscles hurt, my feet are hot and itch and I have had such bad fatigue. Had headache and outer body experience." | 1 | August 2, 2009 | 38 | 37 |
70,089 | Tyvaso | pulmonary hypertension | "I have been on tyvaso for a little over a year now and like one of the users said 9 breathes was to much for me. I stay somewhere between 5 to 7 breathes and it dose wonders for me. However I can't always find the time to get to the treatment 4 times per day.. I also take adcira and letirius. among the thee pulmonary hypertension( PH) meds I think that the tyvaso has the ability to be the best of them. I just wish I could focus enough everyday to take 4 pr day . Anyone knows anything helpful please comment. yall have a good day and good luck to all with your PH......" | 8 | December 14, 2016 | 0 | 116 |
132,971 | Loestrin 24 Fe | birth control | "I had tried Loestrin for about 6 months and didn't really like it! I gave it a 5 because it was an effective method of birth control which was the main reason I tried it but the one thing I didn't like was everytime I missed a pill I started my period. But the thing I hated the most was it would make me dry out during sex, SO EMBARRASING. Never again! I've been off it for about 4 months and its still happening wouldn't dare recommend it." | 5 | January 6, 2014 | 4 | 88 |
70,171 | Triumeq | hiv infection | "I was diagnosed in May '16 with a VR of 1410 and CD4 of 410. Due to the low VR resistance testing wasn't conducted (only above 2000). I didn't start treatment until June due to work travel, the Doc didn't want me to start medication and be away from the medical centre. Started treatment in June. After reading about other experiences here I decided to medicate at night, around 1800 every night. I also take medication for slightly elevated blood pressure. I was already taking it in the morning so decided to keep the two separate. Not sure why - I just thought it would be better to keep the medications separate. After a month I was tested again and my CD4 has risen to 680 and the VR is now undetectable. No side effects & feel great!!" | 10 | July 28, 2016 | 12 | 138 |
30,884 | Miconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "This medicine caused the most severe pain I've ever had "down there"and was 100 times worse than the yeast infection ever was. I was expecting light burning as warned on the package but no. Imagine poison ivy mixed with bleach inside of you." | 1 | May 11, 2017 | 13 | 43 |
10,876 | Mononessa | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I am a 27 overweight female who has NEVER had a normal period. My period sometimes last several weeks... I was prescribed this medication today, a Friday, I took the Friday pill and within hours my bleeding completely stopped. There is nausea associated so I recommend taking every night so you can sleep through it." | 10 | December 5, 2015 | 6 | 55 |
166,183 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "Been on various birth controls since I was 15 due to painful periods and anemia. My first 2 experiences with birth control were with the pill, I was on the 3 month kind for around a year, and after the first cycle I had constant spotting, and on my final scheduled period before changing I bled so bad I passed out . Never had kids before, and I'm a very tiny person( 5' 5'' and 105lbs ) so my doctor was slightly worried about the pain, but we still decided this IUD was what we wanted. I'm going to be honest, it hurt like anything to get put in, and I did end up throwing up a few times throughout the day, but after day 3 I was fine. Been 3 months now and I've had no period and never been better!" | 9 | January 2, 2017 | 4 | 142 |
12,825 | Etanercept | ankylosing spondylitis | "Enbrel most likely saved my life. Was eating less znd less due to pain in jaw. Range of motion loss in neck, hip, jaw and back largely regained after taking Enbrel. On it for 6 years. Pain went away day after starting it. First symptom was probably iritis episode in 2000. Now 53 years old and only worry is how to pay for it with all the changes in medical coverage." | 10 | October 18, 2011 | 27 | 71 |
139,153 | Phentermine | not listed / othe | "I just started taking phentermine 37.5 on April 10th 09 and have already lost 4 lbs, without any exercise. I started at 134 lbs which may not sound like much to worry about but I am only 4'9.5". I went to a plastic surgeon and to find I am 28.2 lbs overweight. I have three children the youngest being 5 months old. Note I was a smoker for 10 years and I quit cold turkey on April 5th. I also only allow myself one can of regular coke a day compared to the 6 or maybe even 7 I was having before. I really hate water so I mix those crystal light iced tea packets in only 5 calories and it is actually good. But I have noticed with the phentermine I do get very irritable and edgy. Also I feel great the day after so I will skip every other day." | 9 | April 14, 2009 | 1 | 152 |
79,028 | Plan B One-Step | emergency contraception | "Just wanted to share my experience since reading the positive reviews were the only thing to keep me sane and this worked for me. I was on no kind of birth control, condom broke and he came inside of me. I took plan b about 8 hours after. I did have some of the side effects but also think the severe anxiety had something to do with it. My period was also almost a week late. I know how hard the waiting game is but hang in there and wishing everyone the best!" | 10 | June 30, 2017 | 7 | 93 |
17,890 | Ethinyl estradiol / etonogestrel | birth control | "I've been on NuvaRing for 4 months now. It's amazing so far. I have always had issues with heavy and painful periods. I tried the pill years ago but was unable to remember it everyday. My periods are shorter, lighter, and less painful. I always got PMS before and I actually think these symptoms have improved with NuvaRing. I haven't noticed any sexual dysfunction like others have. I would suggest that you check placement after intercourse, because it can be removed. Give your partner a heads-up so they will know if NuvaRing comes out as well." | 9 | August 8, 2013 | 3 | 96 |
197,539 | Paroxetine | anxiety and stress | "I am 41 years old and never took a drug in my life. I am a normal father of two teenagers with a very good job...basically what I thought was very normal life. I started getting what I now know are panic attacks on a more frequent basis. I had a serious issue one day driving over a bridge to the point where I couldn't drive over tall bridges...ridiculous right. Well I finally went to the doctor and have been taking Paxil for 1 year without any side effects. I have not had a panic attack since beginning on the medication and my moods are much more consistent. I still have a bit of fear with the bridges but rather than increase the dose I can deal with it. I would recommend this to anyone because I could not address this situation prior." | 9 | January 11, 2009 | 11 | 143 |
107,824 | Implanon | birth control | "I had implanon implanted in Dec '08, and have not stopped bleeding since (that's 4 months). I have also had many other side effects: hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings and irritability, no sex drive, and slight weight gain. I'm sure the hormone delivery in this drug affects everyone differently, but for me, the adverse effects outweighed the benefits of not taking a daily or weekly drug." | 3 | March 25, 2009 | 8 | 67 |
51,854 | Ustekinumab | psoriasis | "On Stelara for about 9 months now. It does work well on reducing my very thick, very stubborn head to toe psoriasis that I've suffered from for nearly 20 years.
The reason I am only giving it a 6 rating is that the manufacturer has totally over rated their product in terms of the length of time it lasts. For me, this medicine lasts about 4 weeks at best and I need another shot or the psoriasis flares up with the vengeance of a woman scorned. If I was to wait the suggested 12 weeks the psoriasis becomes worse than before I started. As a result of this, the price of the medicine should be drastically reduced to better reflect it's true half-life." | 6 | June 16, 2014 | 84 | 123 |
7,166 | Aluminum chloride hexahydrate | hyperhidrosis | "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! I have suffered from profuse underarm sweating for over ten years and have tried EVERYTHING! Paper towels, over the counter clinical strength products, powder, only wearing white and black. I didn't want to buy expensive shirts because I knew they would be ruined soon. I have only been using this for 4 evenings, with one night off to shave, and I am about to go to class in a GREEN SHIRT. Normally I would have already started sweating but I am dry dry dry! I can hardly contain my excitement! Very very mild itching for ten minutes after application, but nothing unbearable. I had worse itching with Dry Idea. I would recommend this to everyone!" | 9 | April 23, 2012 | 1 | 119 |
55,074 | Bupropion / naltrexone | weight loss | "Hello everyone I'm going to share my experience with contrave. My doctor prescribed me contrave dUeda to obesity and also being pre-diabetic reaching the point of no return from it. I started at200 and 76 pounds and now way 200 and 41 pounds do to contrave and just 4 months. I'm going on my 5th month and hope to lose more however I've been stuck from 238- 241 bouncing back and forth." | 9 | May 19, 2016 | 7 | 72 |
150,351 | Sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim | bacterial infection | "I'm currently 15 months out from taking 2 pills of Bactrim and it was the worst side effects of my life. It started with uncontrollable anxiety and depression. I didn't feel connected with reality and I felt very confused. By the second night I was unable to sleep and that is still plaguing me. I shook the anxiety and depression within a few weeks but my sleep didn't become bearable for about 7 months and then it was still terrible. To this day I have poor quality sleep, confusion and occasionally onset insomnia. Avoid this drug. I also had a similar reaction to Levoquin. It gets better just ridiculously slowly. Others recover within days." | 1 | June 28, 2017 | 4 | 114 |
109,950 | Nexplanon | birth control | "At first I was so excited, I though I was going to be free for 3 years, man was I wrong! I got it inserted about 3 months ago and this has been some of the worst times in my life. I've had extreme depression, anxiety, paranoia, I no longer trust my boyfriend, I've been having suicidal thoughts, some days I can't get out of bed, I feel insane, I'm not myself, l became very antisocial. Unfortunately I have to wait till June 6th to get it out and I don't know what I'm going to do in that time..." | 1 | May 15, 2016 | 8 | 100 |
220,053 | Amitriptyline | insomnia | "I have been on Ambien for many years and it stopped working for me. My dr. has tried some other meds, but so far nothing seems to work. I've been on Elavil for about a week now and it seems as if I'm taking a sugar pill. It's just not working for me I wish it did work as well for as it has for others." | 1 | April 19, 2016 | 15 | 66 |
87,273 | Latuda | 3</span> users found this comment helpful. | "I wanted so badly to like this AP but after giving it a trial of two weeks I had to discontinue. The good: lost my appetite and lost a few pounds The bad: feeling wired with bouts of extreme agitation every day." | 2 | June 23, 2012 | 3 | 42 |
121,251 | Venlafaxine | anxiety | "This was the worst experience of my life. I have really bad anxiety and my doctor perscribed one 37.5 mg a day. I took it for the first time and got extremely nauseas. I noticed my hands were shaking and I was clenching my jaw and neck uncontrallably. I found myself to have no appetite and with my stomach troubles this is an issue. Later in the day I tried to eat, and couldn't hold any food down. I did feel calm, so it helped with my anxiety, but all the side effects just arnt worth it. This med is poison for me." | 1 | August 9, 2016 | 5 | 103 |
205,334 | Pristiq | depression | "I was started on Pristiq 50mg a year ago when my moods started to get out of control, as well as my anger. I was so angry all the time, and I felt like I was always on the verge of crying. I experienced no side effects whatsoever from the Pristiq, and felt a noticable difference within a week. I'm not angry for no reason any more, and I don't feel like I have to cry when I drop a spoon. This medication worked wonders for my depression, anxiety, anger and invasive thoughts. My doctor increased the dose to 100mg after I plummeted emotionally, despite the Pristiq. The increased dosage worked! I've been on 100mg for 6 months with no side effects and no complaints." | 10 | October 5, 2016 | 63 | 125 |
181,519 | Prozac | anxiety and stress | "I was told that anti-anxiety meds take a while to kick in but I feel like this one has kicked in sooner than I thought it would. I only take 20mg for anxiety and overall I have started to feel a lot more positive and less stressed out about things I usually stress out about. I haven't noticed any side effects besides my stomach feeling a little off the first week and lately I have not been as hungry as I usually am and get full alot faster....but I wake up in the morning starving. Weird but no headaches or trouble sleeping or anything! I hope I can continue to take this medicine because it does seem to keep me "level" with my emotions." | 8 | April 17, 2014 | 239 | 124 |
108,701 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I've been on it for a year and half and absolutely LOVE IT! I had no weight gain, my hormones seem stable, I haven't had any problems whatsoever.

92,697 | Lybrel | birth control | "I tried this pill for 6 months and have tried other low dose pills in the past, I sm 33 now. It did NOT stop my period and actually made me spot for weeks at a time with awful bloating and some weight gain. I finally gave up and tried natural products. Womb Sweep from Petalwise nearly saved my life. My periods aren't gone but come with zero cramps/mood swings and more regularity. Not doing pharmaceuticals ever again." | 2 | September 7, 2016 | 2 | 78 |
217,775 | Strattera | adhd | "15 and diagnosed this year. I have been on it for 4 months (in conjunction with cipralex). Made a massive difference to my concentration levels and sustained energy, I had no idea it was possible to be this productive. Nausea was awful the first week (even threw up once) but faded quickly. I still need to eat alongside it to prevent nausea but since I take it at breakfast time its not a problem. only persistent side effect has been weight loss - abt 7 kgs in past 4 months - mostly due to appetite loss.
I was on concerta (ritalin XR) beforehand and the side effects such as heart palpitations and insomnia were awful, also didn't help my adhd symptoms at all. I'd recommend strattera to people who've had bad results with stimulant adhd meds." | 10 | June 26, 2015 | 19 | 136 |
204,736 | Acetaminophen / propoxyphene | pain | "I like it better than Lortab. Doesn't make me sleepy, but helps when I am asleep. Pain from a Root Canal and I tell you what, I have no pain now." | 10 | April 28, 2009 | 25 | 31 |
101,890 | Terbinafine | onychomycosis, toenail | "Have had toenail fungal infection for years. Was recently prescribed Terbinafine. 3 month script. Been taking for a month so far. Have noticed the associated scaliness on my underfoot has subsided and has gotten smoother with less dryness and cracking. Two more months to go! No noticeable side effects, besides a slightly acidic taste in my mouth like reflux, but I'm not sure if this is from the pills or not, just mentioning it... Not life altering in any case." | 7 | October 21, 2016 | 22 | 80 |
204,106 | Marlissa | birth control | "I've been taking this for 3 weeks and it's HORRIBLE. I recently just got diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome, and I have new insurance so my doctor recommended this. The only thing it has done for me, is give me acne. It's made my skin worse. I was taking levora since I was 19, because I always had irregular periods, but it's because I had PCOS this whole time. I'm now 27, and my skin was always phenomenal when I was on levora. I Never gained weight and levora maintained everything perfectly. Now I have pimples every day, and if one heals I'll get 2-3 more, by the time it's healed. I haven't noticed any change in my weight even though, I do workout 4 days a week and watch what I eat." | 1 | October 13, 2017 | 0 | 133 |

The next day I woke up feeling great and took the medicine again leaving me with a terrible headache again. So that night I did not want to take it what so ever. Then Friday came (today) and I went back in for a different medicine and my head didn't hurt really at all but I found out I still had a temp of 100.1. This pill has given me the worst with terrible headaches and a fever. Definitely doesnt work with me.

68,522 | Medroxyprogesterone | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I started on the shot in May of 2017. The whole point was to control my bleeding from my fibroids. As June rolled around, I got my period, which progressed into July and August and got progressively heavier. This last month, my clots are bigger and bigger and I usually wear the 10 hour overnight pads during the day. Although they last me about an hour. It's ruined my life, my clothes, my sheets" | 1 | September 9, 2017 | 11 | 74 |
23,830 | Saphris | bipolar disorde | "I was diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder a month ago, previously Bipolar 1 with mixed episodes. Saphris changed my life for the better in so many ways. It helped cut down the agitation and anger associated with the mixed episodes almost right away. The paranoia still bites me every once in a while but it has been majorly decreased as well as the hallucinations and delusions that were plaguing me continuously. I sleep so well and don't have the medication hang over that risperidone was giving me at the dose I required. I started at 5mg and am now at 20mg at bedtime and it's working great. Hope the best to all who are trying to get the right med combo!" | 10 | November 26, 2015 | 22 | 120 |
221,949 | Fluconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "I have taken this medication before, so not sure if something with my body chemistry changed or this medication composition has changed. My experience was a severe allergic reaction causing swelling to my face and lips, with blistering and sores inside my mouth that were extremely painful. I was given a steroid shot and high dosages of prednisone. On day 5 the swelling has just started to go down, but the sores inside my mouth and the scabs on my lips are horrible. I will not take this medication again." | 1 | January 25, 2017 | 25 | 90 |
120,428 | Montelukast | allergic rhinitis | "I have tried Singular three different times. Each time it has caused suicidal tendancies in me. This happens soon after I take it.

211,668 | Lamotrigine | depression | "Wow what a difference. I've tried 4 SSRIs, 1 SNRI, Wellbutrin (Made me irritable and couldn't sleep), Viibryd, different ADHD stimulants, and the list goes on.
Currently, I'm on sertraline (Zoloft generic) 100mg and it was working out okay, but still struggled with my temper and depression. After 5 weeks, I'm finally on lamotrigine (Lamictal generic) IR 100mg once a day. It took 3 days after I started the 100mg to notice a big difference in my behavior. Side effects you might notice while starting it are Dizziness (minor), slight sedation or tiredness, and depression. My depression is now gone. I believe it was my brain adjusting to this miracle of a medication." | 9 | June 25, 2017 | 18 | 113 |

89,511 | Celexa | anxiety and stress | "Celexa has given me my life back! I suffered from severe anxiety and depression to the point where I would just lay in bed for days. I didn't want to go anywhere, and cancelled plans with friends all the time just to stay home and sleep. It took about a month to work and now I feel great! I am back to my old self - I love going out, seeing friends, exercising, reading, everything I used to do and I'm happier than ever! My only side effects were the first 2 weeks - anxiety was worse, insomnia, no appetite. That's gone now and I have no complaints. If I take it in the morning, I sleep well.

52,394 | Pantoprazole | stomach ulce | "Had the most excruciating, painful ulcers that would wake me up in the middle of the night, and be so bad that I would double over from the pain. The Dr. gave me Protonix, and I swear after just taking the first pill that first night, the symptoms were gone! The pills were so effective, I only took them for 5 nights in a row, (even though he told me to finish the bottle) and just saved the other pills in case I might need them in the future. So far the pain has only come back once, from eating too much Tabasco sauce one night, but other than that, I've not been woken up with the pain since I've taken the pills. These pills were a God send for me. Extremely effective." | 10 | February 8, 2014 | 93 | 133 |

Was diagnosed with a severe URI and prescribed a Z-pack and the perles. Before taking the meds I would cough a few times an hour, but they were painful. 30 min after taking the perles, I was coughing hard to the point of almost vomiting almost constantly. My chest hurts badly and nothing is relieving this cough. I will not be taking these meds again. Time to go back to the store and get something OTC......" | 1 | November 12, 2017 | 2 | 103 |
208,199 | Oseltamivir | influenza | "I began having flu symptoms at work 2 afternoons ago -fever, chills, achiness. I went directly to an urgent care clinic. The flu test was negative, but the physician's assistant said I had come in so quickly that I probably wouldn't test positive yet. Based on my symptoms and the current flu outbreak in our area, she prescribed Tamiflu.
That night, my fever broke in the middle of the night. When I had the flu before, the fever would return in the evenings, but I've had no more fever and chills. Also no achiness, just fatigue. The only side-effect I experienced from the Tamiflu was moderate diarrhea.
Much better than being sick for a week or two.l!" | 10 | March 12, 2017 | 3 | 117 |

Switched to Mirena after 5 years. My periods are always between 28 and 32 days. I did not have any troubles with insertion and only took Advil before the appointment. I have had no weight gain, no negative effects at all. I did not have any coverage and have spent over $1000 on IUD's...completely worth it." | 9 | September 25, 2016 | 11 | 84 |
174,546 | Abreva | herpes simplex | "Absolute rip off and scam. You pay 20-30 USD for this.
this medication is no better than hydrogen paroxide which actually gives you more superior results and costs you nothing at all.
A bottle of hydrogen peroxide can last you for years and costs 50 cents.
anti viral cream has no effect on virus I can assure you that." | 1 | August 21, 2016 | 6 | 59 |
162,828 | Cefdinir | bronchitis | "I am on day 3 of cefdinir for bronchitis. I can tell my coughing is much better but now I have horrible diarrhea, to the point I have accidents when I cough. My stomach makes horrible sounds as well. My Dr. did not tell me anything at all about the side effects so I was not prepared to take with yogurt or probiotics. And I had a horrible reaction in the past to Metformin so she should know that I already have these issues. Time for different med and Dr." | 3 | May 1, 2015 | 7 | 90 |

170,145 | Quetiapine | bipolar disorde | "I take this medication for bipolar, but it also does wonders for generalized anxiety disorder. I have suffered for DECADES with anxiety and panic attacks and SSRIs have stopped working for me. When I started taking seroquel it was like I finally saw color in the black and white world I was living in. My moods are completely under control and my anxiety is controlled for the most part. This medication definitely has side effects. Its a tranquilizer. It makes you very tired. It also made me gain a significant amount of weight...but I would rather deal with the side effects then deal with the horrible anxiety I was living with everyday. I take it before bed...make sure you're able to get at least 8 hours of sleep so you're not groggy the next day" | 9 | April 11, 2017 | 8 | 135 |
192,420 | Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol | birth control | "Took Yasmin for 6 months now and had some nausea in the beginning but I think my body is getting used to the pill. Overall, my mood has gotten better, I used to experience mood swings.

I've lost 4 lbs. and feel really good. My sugar levels are under 140, 2 hours after a meal which is awesome. Appetite is completely gone but I make myself eat a small meal 3 times a day. I started with 0.6mg and on 4th day increased to 1.2mg. Still no side effects. I recommend this med for people with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes. Oh and for people who are afraid of needles...don't be. The needle is so thin that you can;t even feel it. I hate needles and I don't mind injecting Victoza at all." | 10 | March 10, 2013 | 71 | 120 |

Now 44 with 2 children, a husband, my 5 year old was diagnosed with ADHD. With her diagnosis, came mine. I take 40mg of Vyvanse in the morning and it allows me to focus in the way I have always strived to. With it, I achieve my goals more comfortably, but I make sure I eat before taking it, drink a lot of water and try to exercise. It is not a magic pill and it is still essential to use the coping strategies I developed from years of having to cope on my own. My only concern is my heart and blood pressure. Overall, this is a solid, good medication that allows for a more balanced life." | 8 | May 22, 2013 | 46 | 139 |

My doctor put me on Motrin 600 3 times a day for 5 days and that was supposed to help stop the spotting. It did make it lighter but after the 5th day, I had really bad cramping and spotting went to a heavier flow. I'm going to try and hang in there because the pills did increase my breast size which is great for someone that's 31 and wearing 34A. Hoping the spotting would stop soon since I start my 3 month in a couple days." | 7 | April 4, 2012 | 4 | 103 |

the drug did bot remove withdrawal symptoms but cravings were less than going cold turkey and once past day 3 of qutting, these calmed down.
Nothing much in the way of side effects either. still on the champix and will take 4 more weeks then quit," | 10 | September 2, 2015 | 12 | 72 |
42,748 | Xulane | birth control | "My first time taking birth control and I chose the patch. I was prescribed Xulane. I hate it. I already had a slight acne problem, it didn't improve it. It made my breasts tender all the time. I was spotting for a whole week, which was expected. The main issue from being on this patch, was my mood swings. I felt depressed, sad, I was crying for no reason, and then I would be happy again. My boyfriend hates it because of my mood swings. I've been on it for 3 months but not anymore." | 6 | November 27, 2016 | 4 | 95 |
74,921 | Keppra | seizures | "It stopped seizures but I have gained 3 pounds a week. It has totaled 50 pounds. I hate it. It is destroying my life causing my thyroid and endocrine system to go haywire and I just want to get off of it.

17,157 | Flexeril | muscle spasm | "I have been using different muscle relaxants for the last 3 years or so, and by far Flexeril is the strongest and lasts the longest. There's also Robaxin as well which I think is the weakest one of all the muscle relaxants. " | 8 | May 11, 2011 | 23 | 43 |
224,853 | Bupropion | depression | "I've been on Wellbutrin now for 7 months. Started off at 150 mg and in 4 weeks increased it to 300 mg because if I took the 150 mg in the morning ( 7am) by ( 5 pm) I crashed and started feeling hopeless and useless. Before taking Wellbutrin I must admit I was very depressed. Always looking for change and felt useless and hopeless about life, I went up and down from being angry some days then happy some days, then sad other days. (Emotional wreck) lol. I wasn't my sociable self. I would go to work, go to school, then go home. Friends would call to hang out and I would sadly decline. From my experience of being on Wellbutrin it has helped me a great deal. I feel normal now and more sociable. Just to add it also helps with my ADD. :)" | 9 | December 17, 2016 | 64 | 146 |
52,674 | Doryx | acne | "I have been using Doryx for a month with the Acanya acne gel and it helped so much I have not had any new pimples (well maybe 1 or 2) since then. It's amazing. I'm 16 years old and my dermatologist first recommended Solydyn, it did not help at all. I'm so glad Doryx is working and it's apparently supposed to get better. The only thing is the pills are really big but other than that, awesome." | 9 | June 23, 2010 | 11 | 77 |
114,740 | Methotrexate | psoriasis | "I am just diagnosed with psoriasis on May 2013 and I am on my 3rd week of methotrexate and so far it cleared the psoriasis on my neck and under my breast. It stops the wetness and flakes and the ones in my arm and tummy are lesser in flakes. I just hope that my dermatologist will allow me to continue the medicine, but it depends on the lab results on my liver." | 8 | July 22, 2013 | 46 | 73 |
157,105 | Differin | acne | "At the three month mark using the over the counter.
I posted previously. I started out using once every three days and then went to every two days to make sure no issues, and eventually each day.
Skin got very dry at first.
I apply each evening about two hours before going to bed.
In the AM I apply Benzoyl Peroxide and then Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture with Sunscreen SPF 35. Wash and dry and re-apply as needed throughout the day.
At the 9 or 10 week period had a serious outbreak after a calm period, but it cleared up.
What works for me...
When applying Differin use an ample amount and massage into areas where you need it most.
My sun glasses were irritating my nose where the pads sit. Turned out I was not making sure moisturizer was being applied in that region of the nose.
Same for around the eyes." | 10 | March 25, 2017 | 7 | 152 |
218,808 | Quasense | birth control | "My doctor suggested this since it is a 91 day cycle which would help with other health issues. I've been spotting for months now and have had frequent nausea and cramps. I'm changing to Ovcon 35 and hoping that will be better." | 6 | July 25, 2013 | 8 | 42 |
187,053 | Benzaclin | acne | "I used this medication along with a benzoyl peroxide wash. I agree, it has worked miracles for me. I use them both at night and in the morning and it is very drying. I don't mind that it dries my skin out, however, because it caused my skin to peel which made my scars go away very quickly. Sometimes I avoid using the cream on my face in the morning and just put lotion on because no one wants their face peeling during the day." | 9 | March 5, 2014 | 14 | 85 |
95,362 | Otezla | psoriatic arthritis | "It is hard for me to rate this. I have Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. I have been taking Otezla for 9 months now. Within weeks my severe psoriasis had cleared. However, my arthritis is worse. At first, it seemed to stop the swelling a little. I have to say it was about 5 months before all the swelling and severe pain came back. While the pain was never completely gone, it was never this bad. Not even before Otezla. My muscles in the back of my legs hurt, and on the bottom of my right foot. I am having trouble walking. I also take hydrocodone for pain. I was taking the hydrocodone for two years and was hoping to get off with Otezla. Not going to happen. Has anybody had dental problems. I have had 3 teeth crack in the past 6 months." | 4 | September 28, 2016 | 16 | 143 |
106,301 | Implanon | birth control | "Had implanon in for 4-5 months, my first hormone contraceptive. Bled consistently, became bloated overall, veins thicker, more visible, put on clotting medication for 1 month to help bleeding, ended up with a haemorrhoid the size of a golf ball. Worst part was the psychiatric illness that evolved/worsened from time of insertion. Developed/diagnosed severe OCD, severe physical generalised anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder. Had it taken out and was on nothing for 3 weeks to "clean" my system. Not long enough. Mental issues did not go away. 2 antidepressants that didn't work, valium, antipsychotics, hypnotherapy, psychology, psychiatry, recent trip to the hospital for suicide prevention and I am still suffering now 5 months later" | 1 | May 30, 2017 | 5 | 115 |
90,477 | Docosanol | herpes simplex | "I've had cold sores come up before but normally treating the area with ice and lemon juice stopped it from coming out but this time I didn't have the chance to do that so it ended up sprouting out. It started off small and I applied abreva but it just got bigger and bigger. I don't think that's the abreva's fault because it was bound to get bigger but I think it may be spreading because of it. It honestly doesn't do much and it also doesn't feel like anything is happening. I prefer using vanilla extract, ice, lemon juice, advil paste and cornstarch paste to help because I actually feel it working." | 1 | October 17, 2017 | 2 | 113 |
174,026 | Valium | anxiety | "I love this medication and it frustrates me that it is shunned upon so heavily by most doctors and mental health practitioners. Its true the withdrawals can be incredibly bad but if not abused, this medication is a god send for those with anxiety. I have strong mood issues and while I try to meditate / exercise / eat small regular meals / keep busy and be active etc. which helps most days, sometimes it just doesn't cut it when I'm having a extreme anxiety and just need to relax. I was prescribed 5mg for travel (panic attacks flying) but I cut that in 1/4 and just take 1.25mg occasionally here and there when I need it. That's all you need and I find it does the job amazingly." | 10 | February 7, 2016 | 145 | 129 |
35,318 | Levofloxacin | urinary tract infection | "This was my second time taking levofloxacin. First time had no problems. This time however after my 5th does out of 7 I developed severe tendonitis in my hands, feet and knees. The first morning I woke up with this pain I could only close my hands about half way. I discontinued the medicine and thankfully the pain went away after a few days." | 1 | September 3, 2013 | 15 | 64 |
183,181 | Cymbalta | ibromyalgia | "I have been on Cymbalta, 60 mg, for over 5 years. It did work for the Fibro pain, even though at stressful times I still felt a minimum of pain. I began to notice after about 3 years that I was very tired all the time and foggy in the brain. It was hard for me to concentrate when someone was talking and words were hard to find when answering them. I finally told my doctor that I wanted to wean off of Cymbalta but I haven't found this to be very easy. Been working on it since June and if I try to lower the dose too fast I become sick like a very bad flu. I am now more clear headed and can talk with clarity since my dose was lowered to around 20 mg." | 6 | July 28, 2013 | 44 | 137 |
185,041 | Harvoni | hepatitis c | "I am age 24, I believe I contracted Hep C through IV drug habit. I thought my low energy and brain fog was because of the many drugs I have done. I had the virus for 2-4 years unknowingly. I finally got a checkup and came back completely healthy except for having Hep C. I workout and eat healthy all the time. My viral load was under 15,000 (very low).
I was put on harvoni 8 week and was tested the last 2 weeks of treatment and came up negative.
The medication eradicates a resilient virus from your body. Harvoni definitely has side effects do not let any doctor tell you otherwise. The medication is extremely effective however and the trade off for mild discomfort is well worth it.
I am now a few months clean of Hep C after taking Harvoni" | 10 | January 1, 2017 | 28 | 142 |
111,235 | Ledipasvir / sofosbuvir | hepatitis c | "My dad took Harvoni but two months after he started to lose all this weight and they found a large Tumor on his liver. The Harvoni caused extreme fatigue and with the cancer tumor it wiped him out in 6 months. There are many many people who had this reaction to Harvoni. After all this I would go for naturopathic treatments instead. ." | 1 | January 7, 2017 | 12 | 63 |
