39,276	Contrave	obesity	"I have been on contrave for about 5 weeks now. I have lost, gained & lost 4lbs. I intend to stay on it another month and try to be more physically active. One thing I have noticed, is that my jeans are not as tight. I have actually gone in 1 - 2 notches on my belt. Which is more impressive to me than the 4 lbs. I had a few headaches off and on for the first 2 weeks, but nothing major. For me the side effects haven't been that bad. I have noticed that it has helped me A LOT with cravings and portions. With contrave, I haven't snacked all day at work or in the evening after supper. It has reduced the amount of food I am able to eat. If I over eat, I feel miserable. I was hoping to lose at least 10 lbs but that hasn't happened yet."	6	March 13, 2017	26	154
18,873	Solifenacin	overactive bladde	"Over the past few years I have tried all the medication for a overactive bladder that is available through my doctors. This medication for me is the best one, it works really well and I have no symptoms of an overactive bladder and helps with my bladder leaking. The only reason I did not give it 10/10 is the side effects dry mouth, thirst, and I do feel very tired when taking this tablet."	7	August 14, 2013	104	74
107,345	Implanon	birth control	"I had Implanon inserted in August, so I've had it for almost four months now. I really like it, except I only gave it five stars because I've been bleeding every day for about two months now. It's starting to get a little frustrating, otherwise I would have given this medicine 10 stars. I've had no mood swings or changes, no acne, no weight gain, none of the dreaded side effects from most birth control pills. If only I would quit bleeding! There is a little scar at the insertion site, but nothing too noticeable. Implanon is extremely convenient. I would say go for it if you're young, healthy, and can't seem to find a pill or other method that works for you."	5	November 21, 2011	0	123
184,332	Hydroxyzine	anxiety	"Game changer... It wasn't as heavily sedating as I thought it would be, but it sincerely helps me with my panic attacks along with the the help of self talk. Calms me right down, without the hungover feeling that Xanax and Klonopin leave you with."	10	May 2, 2015	43	45
9,005	Clobetasol	dermatological disorders	"Had flaking scalp for so long, noting helped, had to see dermatologist, she prescribed Olux, can't believe it, but problem was gone after 3 applications! I wish I ask for help earlier!"	10	April 20, 2017	3	32
75,650	L-methylfolate	depression	"This is a great add-on medication for depression. I am compound heterozygous for the C677T and A1298C MTHFR mutations. I was taking Celexa and Wellbutrin and still having frequent depressive episodes when I first started taking the Deplin. After about a month on Deplin, I weaned off the Wellbutrin. We later lowered my dosage of Celexa too. I did try to wean off Celexa completely and use Deplin as mono-therapy, but ran into issues. I've been taking Celexa 20mg and Deplin 15mg for over a year now and it's still working great!"	9	August 20, 2014	112	92
103,066	Aripiprazole	bipolar disorde	"I am bipolar and have swung into a massive depressive cycle, crying for no reason, sleeping 14 or more hours a day, feeling hopeless about my life, suicidal thoughts, etc., so my doctor put me back on Abilify (I had been on it before but it had been such a long time I couldn't remember if it helped or not). In just a few days, at 5mg at night, my mood is very improved. I can actually get out of bed, I'm much more upbeat, much more pleasant to be around. The only side-effect I have is when I take it, about half an hour later, I am soaked in sweat. My shirt actually becomes saturated to the point I have to change into a dry one. That's why it got 9."	9	June 14, 2009	81	132
21,358	Zaleplon	insomnia	"My doctor recently informed me that I should only take Sonata when I wake up in the middle of the night. Just need to have a glass of water near my bed. I tried that last night and it did give me a few extra hours of sleep. When I was taking it before bed I generally would get up in the middle of the night anyway and feel groggy the next day. "	4	November 23, 2014	67	74
169,109	Vilazodone	depression	"I was taking this for anxiety and had a REALLY bad experience with this medicine. I was also told that giving Metformin was not standard practice while taking this. It should be, I wanted to eat my refrigerator and could not sleep. Had nausea, headache, dizzines. I did not have suicidal thoughts."	1	August 5, 2012	9	52
94,688	Abilify	schizoaffective disorde	"The medicine helped tremendously with my paranoid. However, I had insomnia and gained 45 pounds the six months I was on the medication. For health risks, I had to be taken off the medication."	9	July 16, 2015	7	34
222,228	Hytrin	benign prostatic hyperplasia	"I have been taking this for night trips to the bathroom . Started a 3mg 2 years ago and just started slowly increasing to 10mg. I stopped taking due to the side effects of rapid pounding heart beat, chest pains, dizziness, no real change in sexual functions which is good thing. Not a big change in night trips to the bathroom. Off to the Doctor today."	4	November 27, 2013	25	66
141,302	Escitalopram	anxiety	"I didn't realize how bad I was until I took this medicine! I'll start back: for seven years, I was either pregnant or breastfeeding and my mood deteriorated the whole time. A year before I took Lexapro, I was almost done nursing my youngest and started to get awful pelvic spasms. Then, once I finished nursing, I developed Irritable Bowel Syndrome. After that, anxiety attacks. My Dr. said, "We gotta put you on something" so I asked for something to help calm my stomach and nerve pain in my pelvis. I started on 5 mg, then 10 mg 2 weeks later. It's been 4 weeks and I'm seeing an amazing difference. Pelvic pain significantly reduced, stomach eased, and I'm happier and the "shakes" and nervousness have lessened. Still have some dry mouth, so be prepared. A !"	9	December 8, 2014	29	137
167,321	Levonorgestrel	birth control	"Got Skyla inserted the day after my period ended, it hurt just a bit, like it should. (I've never had kids btw) I got light headed, nauseas, and the urge to take a dump (which I did right after). Within the 30 minutes after insertion I threw up 3x & felt the need to just lay down but literally right after that i was fine...just mild cramping. Was able to drive home. I took 3 Aleve pills once I felt cramping (6/10) aleve is a life saver for cramps I continued to take the Aleve pills till day 3 and on day 4 I felt light cramping and started noticing a light lower back pain when laying down. It's day 7 & I just got in bed, I feel the light lower back pain still. (since day 1 I've also had brown discharge, still do no bad smell)"	8	April 7, 2016	4	148
174,493	Abreva	herpes simplex	"I, too, thought Abreva was magic.. for awhile. It was so reliable. If I caught the tingle early enough, no cold sore developed. If it was already in progress, it healed so quickly and painlessly. It always worked and so I gladly paid the high price. A little over a year ago, I got one that started on my nose and took over half of my face. It got infected and I needed two types of antibiotics. I didn't suspect the Abreva, until now. This week, I used Abreva on a really small one on my lip, and now it's all the space between my lip and nose, advancing toward my eye, and I'm so swollen I can't eat. Antibiotics again. Goodbye Abreva. Forever."	1	September 1, 2017	10	124
133,755	Bactrim DS	acne	"I had mild to severe back acne with constant breakouts on my chest and face. My dermotologist prescribed me this specifically for my back acne but thank goodness it cleared up my face and chest! Before on a scale of 1-10 my face and chest were around a 7 but after being on the medication it's now a 1. My face/chest is now flawless and my back is now only left with scars. My back acne was extremely terrible but after using the medication for a few months, it stopped the breakouts and gave time for my skin to heal. I've used this medication for a little over one year now and I do admit you have to be patient with the medicine. As long as you don't pick and touch your problem spots then it should work nicely. I experienced nausea every morning when I take the medication and a loss in appetite but it's not that bad."	9	June 30, 2014	19	159
161,373	Diphenhydramine	insomnia	"I believe this is the strongest non prescription sleeping aid that you can take. This works really well for me on the few occasions that I need it, within about 10 minutes of taking it, I fall asleep and stay so for longer than I normally would without it. You can even try 1/2 or 1/4 tablet if you don't want to take a whole one. . Definitely recommend this!"	9	March 19, 2017	20	70
5,140	Orsythia	abnormal uterine bleeding	"I have been on Orsythia for 6 months for controlling dysmenorrhea, or painful periods. Before starting birth control overall two years ago, I missed at least two days of school and work a month because my cramps, backache, nausea, and headaches prevented me from doing more than sitting in bed crying. After Orsythia, I barely get a period, it lasts four days and I rarely need to use anything more than a pantiliner. I get the occasional cramp, but nothing unmanageable. I love this pill!"	10	August 16, 2014	9	85
197,643	Suprep Bowel Prep Kit	bowel preparation	"I am in my late 20's and was recommended for an early first colonoscopy. I was prescribed Suprep for my pre-procedure prep. I've heard horror stories about colonoscopy prep so I went searching, and needless to say I wasn't so happy with what I found. Luckily, everything I read didn't seem to apply to me. Suprep was super easy. I just mixed it with some cold berry propel water and drank it down. It honestly didn't even really taste that bad. Kind of like...I don't know, Smirnoff Ice? After drinking that you just have to drink water. I had little to no bloating or abdominal pain on either dose. I just had my colonoscopy at 830 this morning and I'm already home and working. All is well :). Prep was easy, colonoscopy was easy. Happy customer!"	10	October 16, 2017	11	136
226,675	Etonogestrel	birth control	"I have had this birth control for a little over 6 months now. Two weeks after the implant was inserted (painless) I had my period which last 14 days! By the time of my second period I only had minimal spotting. I had miserable cramps and psycho mood swings for about two months. By the time of my third period I had no spotting or bleeding at all and the cramps mood swings were subsiding. My skin is the same, I haven't gained any weight (actually lost a few pounds), a little mood swings, no periods, and no pregnancy. I really like the implant. I don't have to think about it. The first couple months were rough but now it's a breeze and I'm really glad that I have it."	9	May 14, 2015	10	130
58,606	Niacin	depression	"Niacin has greatly improved my life. My depressive thoughts disappeared right from the start (500mg a day now for 2 weeks. Now going up to 1000mg a day). My girlfriend has also been taking it and we've both been in a greater mood (she's also depressive). Suicidal thoughts are rare now. I no longer flush."	9	February 16, 2015	142	55
112,594	Vimovo	ankylosing spondylitis	"Was given this medication to relieve the pain in my spine but instead I started having sleepless nights unable to get comfortable without severe pain to roll over. Bowels started to back up. Swollen hands and feet, I was unable to wear my rings because water pills would not help give relief. I had a blood rash across my face and swollen eyes and started bruising with every little bump of hitting something. I started throwing up 10 hours after I took my morning pill and would throw up everything from dinner the night before and breakfast from the current day. I started throwing up the pill with only the outer layer missing 10 hours or so after taking it about 12 days into starting this med. I would not recommend this for anyone!"	2	April 2, 2017	2	134
9,449	Lo Loestrin Fe	birth control	"First month was great. Slightly more anxiety but thought it would surpass. The pill got worse month by month. More anxiety, more depression. Weight gain. nausea/vomiting. extremely painful periods with crazy mood swings. Cannot wait for this pack to be over so I can switch."	1	September 7, 2016	8	45
135,512	Tamiflu	influenza	"My 9 year old son got influenza A in spite of receiving his annual flu shot. His temp was up to 104 when we took him in - very scary. He took the Tamiflu right before bed and woke up with a reduced fever! It doesn't work like an antibiotic where he started getting better fast but I definately feel like it is helping. I was a little nervous because no one in our family has ever used it before but I'm grateful we did. He took with a few crackers and his stomach was fine with it."	8	January 14, 2015	19	98
28,164	Lexapro	generalized anxiety disorde	"Severe anxiety to the extent I could not sleep at night, coupled with depression probably brought on by the lack of sleep. I have been taking lexapro for 2 weeks now and it has already working. I now sleep a solid 7 hrs, and I feel improvement with my anxiety and depression every day. I cannot recommend lexapro enough - fantastic. Side effects lasted for approx 9 days, these included very dry throat, headaches , vivid dreams and extreme hunger. Side effects have almost all subsided and I'm feeling great"	10	May 23, 2015	57	90
170,759	Quetiapine	insomnia	"I've always had trouble sleeping since a young age I used to put it down to napping at days and watching T.V all night but as I grew older I realized sleep is almost impossible. I've tried these pills a few times and they seem to help better than Zopiclone and other medicines for sleep disorders."	7	March 11, 2013	24	56
133,721	Bactrim DS	sinusitis	"Started meds on Monday. My arms and legs hurt terribly Tuesday and Wednesday. The headache has been the worst I have ever had. Chills, sweating, nausea, impaired vision, insomnia. I called the Dr's office Wednesday afternoon and the nurse told me to give it a few more days. Went to different Dr on Saturday and he said bactrim is notorious for headaches and other adverse effects. Off of it now and have to wait 24 hours before I can start a new antibiotic. I'm praying this headache ends soon"	1	September 12, 2015	14	89
192,808	Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol	birth control	"I switched to Ocella after taking Yaz for 3months. I have PCOS as well. Ocella worked wonderfully in clearing my skin, and it gave me a 7-day period (instead of the constant flow). That was a relief. But, I had bad side effects that caused me to ask for a change in medication after 3 or 4 months using it. I didn't realize they were connected to birth control at first, but now it's obvious with timing. I get debilitating migraine headaches during the first few days of the placebo week (from hormone drop), and the week before my period I have severe constipation, which affects my body image (I feel unattractive). It also has me very depressed a week before, too. And this last month, I started spotting 2 weeks in."	6	July 11, 2010	6	132
164,764	Diclofenac	pain	"I take diclofenac for chronic back pain. I take one diclofenac every 12 hours and it is very effective. I had mild dizziness and upset stomach early in treatment but now have no side effects at all. When my back gets bad, I still take muscle relaxers, narcotic pain relievers, and chiropractic treatment (when I can afford it), but diclofenac helps me manage things so as to reduce the need for stronger medicines."	8	August 1, 2008	15	73
193,255	Cyclobenzaprine	muscle spasm	"I take this on occasion after a rough day (I also deal with mild scoliosis, carpal tunnel, Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis). I had sprained my back recently and was prescribed this medication. I have bad days and then really bad days, but I do not like to take medication unless there is no other sane choice. I took one pill last night about 7pm to ease my pain/stiffness due to a "really bad day"-I am still going in and out of tiredness and it is 10am the next day. I feel tired, groggy-can't concentrate. I do not like this feeling staying with me throughout my work day-it feels like a "time release" and comes on in waves-ONE pill 15 hours ago. I work full time and really need to be on my "game" and...I have to drive to get here! :("	5	December 5, 2016	10	140
152,830	Rocephin	pneumonia	"I wish I would have received as fast a healing as others had with Rocephin, but it still worked! I had a very severe case of pneumonia and was hospitalized for three weeks. I was given Rocephin by IV while in the hospital and four weeks at home. Although my illness was stubborn the Rocephin did it's job and now my lung is clear of infection. I am thankful for the doctor that prescribed the medicine and those that make it."	10	March 26, 2013	25	81
13,142	Xolair	urticaria	"This has been a miracle for me, and I truly hope that it can help others! For the past two years, I've had chronic refractory idiopathic urticaria, nonresponsive to antihistamines and with angioedema. Four months ago, I began an omalizumab treatment course of 300 mg every 4 weeks. Within days of the first injection, I immediately noticed a huge decrease in the redness, size, and swelling of the hives, and since then, I've noticed a gradual reduction in the symptoms. I've been hive-free for almost a full month now. The only downside: without insurance, this is extremely expensive. But for me, I consider it absolutely worth it."	8	May 14, 2014	67	107
230,338	Depo-Provera	abnormal uterine bleeding	"My first shot was July 16, 2013, the last shot was March 24, 2014. Four shots total and in that time I had some type of vaginal discharge every month. I wore some type of pantyliner or pad everyday during this time because I never knew if I would have a period. The bleeding wasn't always heavy, but I bled enough that I became iron deficient anemic. I did experience larger than normal clots some months. I wanted to try the full year to see if my periods would ever stop, but the lack of iron made me get off Depo."	1	July 15, 2014	17	101
150,517	Sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim	acne	"Bactrim ds works for me. I had cystic acne all over my face and body it was so scary .I only work and stayed in the house but as soon as I stop taking this medicine I got acne back all on my face."	8	September 26, 2016	11	44
135,058	Brisdelle	hot flashes	"This drug sort of helps with hot flashes -- diminished them by about 75%. HOWEVER, the person who designed the packaging for this drug needs to be fired. I think that most of the expense for this product comes from the overdone packaging alone. The capsules are difficult to get out of the blister packaging. The cardboard wrapping is excessive and impossible to open without the help of scissors and a box cutter!! Terrible, terrible, terrible...."	5	May 29, 2016	39	76
133,342	Tri-Sprintec	abnormal uterine bleeding	"I was put on Tri Sprintec when I started getting my periods every two weeks, and was on it for three months. It fixed my period problem, but I had never had a problem with acne until starting this. My acne got so much worse and would clear up instantly once I started the sugar pills. I went from a D to a DD which is kind of annoying but I didn't gain much weight at least. The worst part, however, was the tenderness in my breasts, it was horrible. Painful to the touch, running or going to the gym was horribly uncomfortable. Just like the acne, during the fourth week on sugar pills the pain disappeared only to return again with a new pack. "	5	November 30, 2010	5	126
161,069	Risperidone	depression	"I use this medicine for self-harming thoughts. I take 1.5 mg and it does help a lot. My self-harming thoughts have less power and "stick" less when I'm taking this medication. However, I have gained a lot of weight. I eat pretty healthily, exercise 2 to 3 times per week, and I'm only 17, but I've gone from 130 pounds to 180 pounds after taking this medicine for 3 and a half years. Another side effect is very vivid dreams that occur every night, but this isn't a problem. I also stopped getting my period for about a year and a half; however, that could have been due to self-starvation, since it has come back now (the medication is also lower than it has been)."	8	January 10, 2012	33	125
220,852	Loestrin 24 Fe	abnormal uterine bleeding	"I started taking the pill end of October, I am now on my third week of Loestrin. At first I had minor cramps and breast tenderness which I ignored. Slowly the pill started giving me worst side effects. I gained weight, have major cramps and have been on my period for two weeks.. my normal period lasts 3-4 days. I am not even on the placebo pills yet. I also have major mood swings."	1	November 16, 2009	14	74
219,234	Ortho Cyclen	birth control	"Works as far as preventing pregnancy, shorter, on schedule periods, REALLY good for preventing acne, but HORRIBLE for weight gain. I literally gained almost 20 pounds when I started taking this. And a lot of people say it's because it makes you feel hungry more often so you eat more but I've had zero change in my diet so it must be something in the hormones. I've only been off this birth control for a week and a half and I've dropped 9 pounds."	8	November 12, 2014	24	84
140,099	Asenapine	bipolar disorde	"I started taking this at 5mg for bipolar disorder. Firstly, the wafer I had to put under my tongue was horrendous! The taste can only be described as the taste of poison. It made my tongue numb. It made me extremely drowsy but it was hard to sleep because I had almost a painful restlessness in my legs so felt I couldn't stop moving yet I was so tired. It was a very uncomfortable feeling. This drug, an anti-psychotic MADE me psychotic. It dramatically changed my personally from the moment I took it. I became aggressive and angry at everyone. If I'd had a higher dose, i think I could have become homicidal. This was a terrible drug for me so I didn't last on it long at all, it was just too dangerous for me."	1	December 5, 2016	12	136
82,780	Maxalt-MLT	migraine	"Maxalt has really changed how I felt about my migraines. Before I was prescribed Maxalt, I would suffer terribly, taking only OTC medications which "never" helped much. Now when I feel those tell-tale signs of a migraine coming on (I do not experience any "aura"), I take a Maxalt (and sometimes some ibuprofen, too) and I know my migraine will be gone within the hour! And I'm not sleepy."	9	June 15, 2008	16	69
1,315	Sumatriptan	migraine	"I've been using Sumavel Dosepro and Sumavel pill form for over 3 years. The Dosepro has relieved/erased my migraine in less than 7 minutes 100% of the time. It's liquid gold in my opinion. The pill form is less effective 80% and takes up to 1hr."	10	April 10, 2015	10	46
179,592	Adapalene / benzoyl peroxide	acne	"One word WOW. I was really depressed about my skin, and I decided to go to a dermatologist after finishing my exams. She gave me EPIDUO and another medicine. At first my skin got irritated and for 2 days it was really red and was peeling, I talked to my derm and she told me to stop the other medicine and use a moisturiser before applying EPIDUO, I continued using it every other day and results after a month was amazing. Now I have less acne and every 2 months I do a deep cleanse which is called HYDRAFACIAL. I don't really use much make up like I used before, I'm not applying foundation, and relatives and friends are surprised too. Thanks EPIDUO. btw I'm still using it but I just apply it once or twice a week."	9	February 25, 2017	18	138
112,784	Bisacodyl	constipation	"Worked perfect 12 hrs after using it. I've used it on a few occasions for colonoscopy prep but this time was severe constipation. Stay hydrated and eat in between bathroom sessions!"	10	August 1, 2017	7	31
134,892	Pazopanib	renal cell carcinoma	"I am 70, female. 19 years ago had right kidney removed due to renal cell cancer. In spring of 2016 my shoulder began to bother me, and it got worse until my upper arm broke just below the shoulder, due to renal cell cancer which had metastized to my upper arm bone, my pancreas tail, and two spots on my liver. I first had two weeks of IL-2 which gave me awful side effects and no changes to the cancer tumors. Have been on Votrient since September 2015. November scan shows tumors shrinking. Feb 2017 shows tumors are still shrinking. Side effects are diarrhea every day, body and muscle pain, scaly sores on my bottom, fatigue, and just recently pain in my hands. I take 800 mg daily, late in the day. I take Tramadol for the body pain."	10	March 10, 2017	31	139
125,981	Viibryd	depression	"I was one if the unlucky ones, and experienced a ton of negative side effects from Viibriyd: sleep paralysis, falls, insomnia, increased anxiety/panic, loss of concentration, a carnival of digestive effects, dizziness, loss of appetite, forgetfulness, etc. Each increase in dosage made the side effects worse. If I'd had a fraction of my usual judgment I would have asked to be taken off of it after the first week. I'm currently tapering off, and for me, the withdrawal symptoms are totally preferable to the side effects. Viibryd is great for a lot of people, and that's awesome. If it is making you feel worse than when you started, stay in close contact with your doctor and do not hesitate to question whether you should stay on it."	1	February 19, 2014	133	127
74,407	Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone	birth control	"I am 20 years old and generally eat well and maintain an active lifestyle. I started using Loestrin 24 FE in April to deal with excessively heavy and irregular periods that started being a problem in January. In the three cycles that I've been on it, I have gotten my period 6 times with irregular spotting in between, so it is not at all having the effects I was hoping for. Another complaint is that I've gone from 130 lbs to 140 lbs with no significant changes in diet or activity."	2	June 9, 2010	7	91
94,458	Abilify	major depressive disorde	"To anyone just starting Abilify, please reconsider. I started it as an add-on to Lexapro. Initially, it helped me feel like getting out of bed in the morning with slightly more energy or a better outlook, or I just wasn't as groggy when I woke up. Initially, that was helpful & I got the Rx free or cheap, so I took it for over 2 years. When I finally realized all these new problems were connected to Abilify , it was too late... 50 lb weight gain, constant involuntarily movements of fingers, toes & tongue, mouth sores, wild, harmful actions with no conscience or regret, many more. Then the worst withdrawal symptoms.. I wished for death for months it was so awful. A year after stopping, I'm still not the same & probably never will be."	1	September 2, 2017	4	136
112,878	Bisacodyl	constipation	"I will never take this again! I took 2 of the Dulcolax Pink intended for women and sensitive stomachs at 8pm. By 4am I had diarrhea and SEVERE cramping, I felt like I was being kicked in the stomach repeatedly. My S/O was about to take me to the hospital but I convinced him to try and let me deep breathe through it. It's now 8am and I'm still in crazy amounts of pain. Sitting on the pot as I write this review, would not recommend."	1	December 5, 2017	1	86
71,785	Tramadol	chronic pain	"I've taken tramadol for 6 years for severe migraines, I've used hydrocodone too but I choose tramadol over hydrocodone as it works better than anything else I've tried, it also helps with my depression and restless leg syndrome, and knee pain that's 4 symptoms of relief in tramadol for me, 100 mg twice a day the only complaint I have is that tramadol is very addictive, If I stop using them I have really bad withdrawals, hot/cold sweats, trembling, shaking, loss of sleep, no energy, nausea, and extremely painful HEADACHES, when my Dr. first told me to take them he said they are not addictive, which is not true, maybe for short small doses but for long term use, they are highly addictive, Use caution when using for a long period of time."	10	December 17, 2016	19	133
46,162	Repatha	high cholesterol	"I have been on this drug about 2 months.I like to know if anyone taking it has experienced eye problems? it could be coincidental but I am getting type of hives on my eye and stys which I never had before. the other side effect for me are getting hives on my hand but just for a couple of days then they disappear. More concerned about eyes . Like to know if anyone had similar experience? Cholesterol level dropping but not drastically yet"	5	August 7, 2016	33	83
67,634	Plan B	emergency contraception	"I promised if it worked I'd write a review. I took plan b after me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex he said he pulled out but I needed to be sure. I took it maybe a week and a half before my period was scheduled that whole week I was scared and praying to see my period and it came on right on time. My period lasted about 2 and a half weeks. While I had all the symptoms of being pregnant I was scared and convinced that it didn't work. I soon after went and took a pregnancy test I took two actually and they both said I wasn't pregnant. So I took that and ran with it. I took another one a week later just bc I was still scared that came back negative. Don't stress yourself out like I did.. it does work. Wish u the best."	9	April 28, 2017	4	151
87,039	Latuda	schizophrenia	"After yrs on with a number of meds all these arguments in my head are starting to quite down some and starting to make sense 50 pounds later and completely isolated from the world feeling like I can make a reality check and at least have hope of a better and brighter day just checked out after an episode and hope they got it right finally. Started @40 and just ate and took my first 60... Feeling positive at least with sample packs"	7	November 3, 2015	16	83
19,540	Pregabalin	generalized anxiety disorde	"Lyrica has been incredible for my anxiety! Within just a couple days I was running errands without needing to have someone with me due to anxiety, I was doing chores which I without a second thought often delayed and I was enjoying my life and time with my children. I was prescribed pregablin for Fibromyalgia pain and I can't say I've noticed a difference with pain but its done EVERYTHING for my anxiety! I am way less irritable and moody and feel like I can actually enjoy living a happy and complete life for once without worry, fear or nervousness. I went from being a procrastinating home body to a normal feeling, confident person! My side effects have been blurred vision, sometimes a little sleepy and dizziness. Its 100% worth trying!!"	10	March 12, 2014	226	131
68,372	Plan B	emergency contraception	"Plan B did what it was suppose to do. Had unprotected sex a day before ovulation (assuming ovulating day due to my period app) by accident. 11 hours later I went to Walgreens purchased Plan B. 2 weeks later I got period only 1 day late. However 1 week after Plan B was taken I started spotting lightly until actual day of period. So everything went great, as far as taking this on or before ovulation day."	10	August 16, 2013	32	77
86,928	Latuda	schizophrenia	"I generally suffer from bipolar, anxiety and some form of psychosis, the delusions from psychosis caused most of my anxiety and I had to be put on Wellbutrin, risperodone, and klonopin. With this medication my simptoms of psychosis are much better relieved and I was able to withdraw from using klonopin all the time to control my anxiety. I found what I needed."	8	March 5, 2017	12	63
131,926	Effexor XR	anxiety	"Overall I love this pill, I have been on 75mg of Effexor for 8 years after being severely depressed and suicidal. I haven't had the same type of mood the whole time. The only downfall to this medication is the side effects, I have found that I have no libido and often very tired. Also if I miss one day I have very bad side effects like a really bad hangover. I am a little afraid of getting off the pill but I would like to try. Overall if you need help with your depression this pill is amazing."	9	April 12, 2012	66	99
204,303	BuSpar	anxiety	"I left a review awhile back, but now I have to revise it. When I first started taking Buspar I was happy with it, but then it stopped working for me. I'm now on the max dosage of 60 mg. I take 30 mg in the morning & 30 mg in the evening, but it is not helping me at all. I still have very bad anxiety, panic attacks & paranoia. Since it isn't doing anything for me I will probably stop taking it."	1	February 15, 2017	37	84
146,856	Alprazolam	anxiety	"I have suffered from anxiety & panic attacks since Kindergarten! I "self medicated",w/alcohol & weed, until they became an "issue",to say the least! I hit rock bottom almost losing my family, my job,tried AA, Shrinks, until I had a full blown attack.I thought I was having a heart attack ,sweating,rapid heart beat ,etc .I also dreaded any social affairs,or changes in my life .I thought I was just missing a link,not "normal",whatever that is! I went to my Dr & he prescribed .25mg, the lowest .But I was able to 'function" ,go to weddings ,NOT drink ,since 1999. I'm now on the 2mg addicted? I am able to live w/o alcohol & function, but do feel it ,if I don't take it.Trade off? Maybe,but it's better than being a "captive" of my fears. Just be you!:)"	10	January 5, 2017	49	136
138,778	Phentermine	weight loss	"This medicine saved my life. I lost 35 pounds and it was the easiest and fastest way I ever lost weight in my whole life. My friends and family were amazed and everyone would always tell me how absolutely amazing I look, and I feel like a new person. I have never been happier."	10	April 15, 2011	19	54
112,042	Gabapentin	pain	"I started taking gabapatin for severe lower back pain. I have scoliosis . At first it worked . I was told I could increase the dosage up to 1200 mgs I'm now up to 800 mgs. Not only did it stop working I read in depth side effects I'm experiencing memory loss , anxiety and depression which I already suffer from. Personally I don't recommend it for back pain. I personally know 4 people that are prescribed it for back pain 2 stopped taking it because it stopped working. Myself and another person are having the same problem. My best advice ask questions and tell your Dr if you have problems with it or it stops working.I have a call into my Dr. I'm very concerned about the side effects I wasn't told about and I'm in constant pain"	3	July 12, 2017	17	139
37,974	Subsys	breakthrough pain	"Works in just a few minutes. I like the spray in place of the Fentanyl sub-lingual tabs. I like Sub-Sys made by INSYS Pharm. I know I have been on these type med's for 20 yrs."	10	March 15, 2015	15	36
150,013	Soma	muscle spasm	"Have been on many other pain medicines just started on Soma and I finally slept and I can do basic household chores. Pain is still there but not like it was I have degenerative disc bulging disks and broken tail bone that now curls up that causes great pain. I am so glad that my doctor prescribed this for my pain as the other medicines (Flexeril, Tramadol, Vicodin, Amitrip) did nothing for me."	10	January 14, 2010	38	73
144,445	Etonogestrel	birth control	"I would give this birth control a 0 if I could. This thing has been hell. Please read: The first couple months were so great, no periods, no cramps, no nothing. Little did I know this would be a major problem in the future. I had it inserted April 2014 and taken out March 2015. I gained 40 pounds of water weight (edema). My body thought I was pregnant. I am slowly losing the weight and by that I mean it's been a year and I am down 10 pounds. It has been the most awful experience of my life. It also caused the worst panic attacks I've ever had and I lost myself for a few months. If you want to stay healthy and happy I do not recommend this stupid thing at all. Thankfully I have a very supportive boyfriend who was right by my side. Stay away!"	1	April 7, 2016	2	150
78,522	Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone	birth control	"I've been on this pill for years now .. I actually like this one so much better than some of the others I took prior to it. I have little to no period each month, no mood swings, overall .. I'm very happy with it."	9	May 3, 2017	4	45
14,956	Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone	birth control	"This is my first birth control pill I've tried and the first night taking this and I woke up with severe nausea and have been in the bathroom vomiting on and off for 4 hours now. Hopefully the nausea will go away and the vomiting will subside so the pill can do its job."	2	August 1, 2017	0	54
39,229	Contrave	weight loss	"I started Contrave on Jan. 1 2017 and weighed in at 194lbs. I talked to the doctor about it and decided to give it a try. It has now been 4 months and with exercising daily for 30 mins and eating somewhat more healthy ( I haven't changed my diet that much). I still can enjoy a juicy hamburger with my family at a restaurant. I am happy to report that I have lost 40lbs in just 4 months. This medication has been worth every penny and given me my life back to be able to enjoy my 4 kids!"	10	April 5, 2017	67	100
208,172	Correctol	constipation	"I will never use Correctol again. It felt like the claws of death were raking themselves through my intestines. I was nauseated, hot and I felt like I was going to throw up. Yes, it most certainly cleaned me out, but it definitely was not worth it."	10	October 19, 2016	12	47
126,850	Erythromycin	bronchitis	"I've been taking it for two days since I am allergic to penicillins. I guess I feel better with the bronchitis but I have bad leg cramps and my stomach stays upset and have had horrible diarrhea. Side effects might not be worth it."	6	May 4, 2012	17	44
40,659	Fluocinonide	psoriasis	""Started applying two days ago, bingo my psoriasis on my belly started to fade the redness. At first it feels itchy, on the third day it seems great. Praying forward for more positive result. This cream versus my ointment, not bad."	9	December 30, 2016	7	41
225,727	Bupropion	depression	"As long as I was taking it with Adderall, it gave me wretched migraines. However, I was able to get off of the Adderall and to quit smoking, without any weight gain or tiredness! Wellbutrin gives me insomnia if I take it any later than 1 PM (I take XL at 5 AM and SR at 1 PM) and it can give me headaches if I'm dehydrated, but it is worth it. My desire to smoke simply evaporated, and I can't get a rush from a cigarette, so there's no temptation. It's like magic. It makes me happy and alert and suppresses my appetite. All around miracle drug... I love Wellbutrin!"	10	April 11, 2012	3	111
15,576	Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone	birth control	"This is my first ever pill I used. The first couple months were full of nausea, headaches, sadness, and anxiety. Around 5 months in, I've been bleeding for 7-9 days during the second week. Then spotting for 4-6 days during my last week. This happened for a few months. At first I thought it was still adjusting but now it's a continuous cycle. With the super low estrogen, there's been a lack of lubrication during intercourse. I'll be having burning sensations lasting for a max. 12hrs. Overall it was a bad and good pill. It was bad to have the lack of lubrication and the continuous bleeding every two weeks. It was good to have cleared my acne for the most part and to have intercourse without a condom."	5	January 28, 2017	1	129
85,373	Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate	birth control	"I am 22 years old and ending my third month on this pill. My doctor recommended it to me for my acne and irregular periods. I was hesitant to try it because of my past experience with lutera. I am pleased to find that after a few months there is a noticeable improvement in my skin and it has worked to regulate my periods. I still get a pimple usually when my period starts and have experienced some nausea here and there. I haven't seen any weight change or other side-effects to date. I will continue using this pill and I recommend it to others with acne and irregular periods."	9	May 29, 2015	1	110
66,350	Valacyclovir	cold sores	"I got this when I had already had 2 crusty cold sores and just got rid of 1. I get them alot and they don't care-they show up for no reason! I took the 2 and then 2 later and it helped clear those up in no time at all, but when I start on a new cold sore I notice the 2 now and 2 later isn't working but the doctor won't change the script so I'm doing a bit of testing at home to see what helps. I haven't had a cold sore often enough now to say if taking 2 now 2 later for 2days helps or 4 now and 4 later for 1 day is best. I still have the painful blisters and they still came in the overnight to the 2nd day-not more just the ones that came the first day became fuller. This was on the 2 now and 2 later. I did catch it right when I felt the itch."	6	September 6, 2015	7	167
124,062	Skyla	birth control	"I've had the skyla for about 8 months now and I highly recommend it. At first it was unconftorable and I spotted for 3 months. But so worth it. I would rather be safe than sorry."	10	July 16, 2016	0	36
132,371	Ativan	panic disorde	"I took this medication because I was having panic attacks. I had no drowsiness, and no side effects. This medication didn't make me apathetic or sedated; it simply took the panic away so I could think and get my work done. It saved me. After the panic attacks stopped, I was still suffering from anxiety (a new condition for me), and the Ativan didn't help that, so my doctor switched me to Klonopin, which worked great for day-long anxiety, while I also tapered up on Zoloft. Still waiting to figure out if the Zoloft works."	10	June 26, 2010	48	95
112,566	Lunesta	insomnia	"I took my 2nd Lunesta last night. It was the first time that I have slept through the night in over 5 years. And it was a good, pleasant, restful sleep. I was so happy this morning that I teared up. The horrendous metallic taste that lasted 15 hrs kept it from a 10. However, taking the pill with 24oz of water helped tremendously. After years of waking at 2am for hours at a time, I started Ambien but that didn't help so I moved to Ambien CR. I still woke up several times a night (2-4x), ate some crazy concoction but went right back to sleep. I was happy with that improvement. Due to insurance changes, I was thankfully forced to find another sleep medication. In hindsight, Ambien CR sleep was angry, forced, stressful."	9	April 12, 2015	33	135
182,117	Podofilox	condylomata acuminata	"This is a very good drug. Although you have to be cautious were you apply it. The drug did burn and also caused my skin to peel, dry, and became very painful. My new doctor told me to stop use and we opted for the laser surgery. It cleared them, but they still come back."	5	June 25, 2009	5	55
14,215	Myrbetriq	overactive bladde	"I have had issues with bladder leakage for years. My doc did the mesh implant and I still have some, not as much, but some leaks. After a few questions, he determined that I had "over active bladder" problems as well. I've been on this medication now for about 6 weeks. At first, I was on 25 mg and still had not so perfect results, he bumped it up to 50 mg and I have no problems now. So far, no side effects and I'm thrilled with the results. Expensive, yes...there is a $50 card on their website, if that helps. I would definitely recommend."	9	September 15, 2015	52	105
89,208	Celexa	anxiety and stress	"I was diagnosed with GAD (general anxiety disorder) I was previously on cipralex and felt like a zombie taking it. I didn't want to take it anymore so my doctor prescribed me celexa about a month ago. I have a bit of a hard time sleeping, tossing and turning but overall I do get my rest. I feel drowsy after the first few hours of taking it. Little bit irritable sometimes, short of patience. Over all I'm not overthinking at night anymore, not stressing nearly as much and actually have motivation to do the things I want to."	9	August 8, 2016	39	98
87,985	Clindamycin	deep neck infection	"It cured my infection but the side affects sent me to the hospital. I got chest tightness, severe heartburn plus the severe pain of swallowing!. My face flushed red. Excruciating head ache for a short time at the hospital. Also nausea at times. Hospital thought heart attack until it was ruled out. They didn't connect the clindamycin to be a problem. I will never take it again as l also have IBS and it didn't help. I only have 4 capsules left on the 28 RX"	8	March 2, 2016	5	86
166,270	Levonorgestrel	birth control	"I went to the doctors 5 days ago I did it to feel in control of my body.My receptionist told me to take Tylenol before the procedure. ok sure. It didn't do anything.I was truly ignorant about the pain I was about to experience. When I told her I took children's Tylenol she gave me that look of "you're gonna have a bad time. " I took 8 pills of the low dosage aspirin in hopes I would be numb enough to feel only a pinch. N O P E. WORST EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE. When she was inserting the IUD the cramps were absolutely awful. I was literally screaming in pain. After she finished my body was trembling. I almost passed out twice. Threw up twice and had the meanest poops. I had to lay on a bed for an hour before I could even move."	6	December 13, 2016	1	147
89,601	Celexa	depression	"I have been dealing with anxiety and depression for a few years. Got prescribed Xanax and Celexa. I was doing really well taking the Xanax but as soon as I would take the Celexa I started getting really sick. Real bad migraines, dizziness, fever with sweating. I am now being switched to Paxil, hopefully it will work for me."	1	December 13, 2011	9	59
105,187	Carbamazepine	trigeminal neuralgia	"Was prescribed the drug for trigeminal pain. Knowing people with trigeminal neuralgia and feeling my pain was no where as severe as some, I felt that it may be a bit overkill for my symptoms maybe we were trying to castrate a mosquito with a machete? In the end I couldn't stand how it made me feel. Put on 8 pounds in just 5 days. Blood pressure went up and I was EXHAUSTED. I felt very edgy lost confidence in my stride and though the pain I was experiencing did dull it began to expand to both temples, tingling on lips and hands, worst, I just didn't feel myself. I felt both drunk and somehow so fully aware of my strange symptoms It was as though I was observing myself from a foot away. 200 mg twice daily for five days."	1	August 3, 2016	18	141
4,887	Belviq	weight loss	"Best weight loss medicine ever! 29 pounds in 4 months and 6 pounds more to reach my goal weight. No food cravings and I have cut sugar out of my diet which for me is the key. 5'4 woman currently at 145 pounds. Blue Cross Blue Shield covered this medication for me except for the $5.00 co-pay. Best wishes to everyone!"	10	December 15, 2014	219	61
174,841	Exalgo	chronic pain	"I started taking Exalgo in June 2011 for chronic kidney/flank pain. I started with 8mg once/day. Increased to 12mg in March 2012. Then increased to 16mg in July 2013. I call Exalgo my miracle. I like taking the ER pill rather than popping pills all day long. I've tried so many different opiates, but I much prefer Dilaudid to all the others. I also take 4mg Dilaudid (hydromorphone) as needed for breakthrough pain. Best of luck to anyone suffering from chronic pain, it's a terrible way to live, but Exalgo definitely increased my quality of life, I hope it can do the same for you!"	10	August 25, 2013	75	105
49,489	Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel	birth control	"Age 29, Japanese. I've been on this BC for about 1.5week and this is my first time to use BC in my entire life. I was very worried about using Orsythia that is not approved in Japan. I couldn't even find any info in Japanese, so wasn't sure if it fits Japanese bodies. Right after I started to take the pill, I had the same symptoms as I do during period such as cramping. On the 9th day, I started to bleed but like a spot (still need a pad). I checked the Japanese site and found out that it was a normal side effect ppl have when they start to use BC. So maybe even using different brands, I would have the same thing. The site said that the symptoms wouldn't last longer than 3 months. I'm still bleeding on the 11th day but gotta see."	5	December 4, 2015	2	147
219,696	Amitriptyline	migraine prevention	"I have suffered with chronic daily tension headaches for most of my life with a full blown migraine about twice yearly. For me, the daily headaches had become a routine form of torture that I had accepted. As a nurse, I avoided talking to the doctor because I knew a lot of the prophylactic meds were antidepressants or anti seizure meds and I just didn't want to take those types of meds. As my headaches increased to about 5 days per week, I finally decided to get on a new med. I have been on eleavil 12.5mg nightly for 2 weeks. I have not had a single headache and I am beyond thrilled. I have never posted on a blog like this before, but I am so excited about the results I just had to share. As for side effects, I have not had any thus far."	10	November 30, 2017	3	147
49,309	Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel	birth control	"This was the very first birth control brand I've taken, I was so happy because it didn't give me any weight gain or acne. It did make me very emotional and crazy after using it for a year or more, it made my relationship with the boyfriend go downhill. So I stopped taking it for 3 months and I started gaining a lot of weight out of nowhere. I've never been this heavy before, so I'm deciding to take it again but with a vitamin called Evening Primose Oil capsules. Hopefully it will help with my emotional wreck and craziness. Of course, every brand and dose is different for each person. I wish there was something that would tell us what works best for our bodies."	9	March 24, 2016	4	126
38,022	Adipex-P	weight loss	"47 yr old male, 6'3, beginning weight in 2012 was 280. Before prescribing, my doc thoroughly checked for a healthy heart and cardiovascular system. If you have high bp, abnormal heart rhythm, hypertension etc, DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION. Also if you have anxiety or panic attacks you may want to report those to your Dr before being prescribed Adipex. This medication requires a great deal of responsibility. It curbs your appetite so you can make lifestyle changes that are easier to maintain after you are off Adipex. This is Aug. 2016 and I now weigh 205 and feel great. My waist size went from a 44 to a 36. When you stop Adipex your energy level will drop, if it doesn't level off after 2 to 3 days, have your doc check your thyroid again."	10	August 24, 2016	56	136
8,689	Zolpidem	insomnia	"For many years, I had no problems falling asleep but after 4 hours would wake again, wide awake, mind racing, etc. I finally asked my doctor to prescribe Ambien and paid extra to get it. It was worth every penny. I found a whole tablet taken at bedtime still only let me sleep 4-5 hours. I had been told I might need to take another tablet if I woke too early, but didn't want to do that. So now, I don't take Ambien at night when I go to sleep. I take 1/2 of a 5 mg tablet when I wake up at 2 or 3 a.m. It works like a charm; I sleep another three or four hours. For me, 2.5 mg works just as well as 5 mg. Great sleep and I've never had sleep amnesia."	10	September 4, 2009	25	138
30,220	Klonopin	anxiety	"Used to take 2 mgs three times per day with my old doctor, stopped for a year, and now I'm on 0.5mg three times a day. I built up a tolerance quickly, but when I have a panic attack 4 mgs stops it dead. I love Klonopin, it lasts longer than Xanax and doesn't give me a crazy hangover feeling the next day!"	10	April 19, 2013	58	63
192,932	Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol	birth control	"I took Yaz prior to my second pregnancy and absolutely loved it. No side effects so I decided to go ahead and start back on it after I was done breastfeeding my second child. I have some other health conditions, so it has taken me 6 months to link the side effects to the pill. I have had horrible headaches that would grow into migraines, which is not good especially with a 3 yr old and 1 yr old. I am beyond tired, I can sleep 20 hours a day if I didn't have children. I am beyond moody and irritable which has had a huge impact on my relationship with my husband, children, family and friends. I have not had a major decrease in sex drive, but have had a dramatic change in vaginal dryness that would make times unbearable. "	1	July 26, 2009	16	142
40,617	Zanaflex	muscle spasm	"Been taking this for months for DDD/DJD (neck). I notice severe pain when I don't take this nightly but still have muscle pain even when I do. Main side effect is severe grogginess and dry mouth/hung over feeling. I have to be in bed about 20 mins after taking it or I am walking into walls literally. I have to drink a lot of water before bed to combat the hung over feeling. Recently switched back to Flexeril. Have also taken Robaxin but that didn't help much either. I get headaches when I take Tramadol and any narcotic so I take Tylenol during the day."	8	April 13, 2012	62	105
60,387	NuvaRing	birth control	"Love Nuvaring. At first I was a little nervous about using it. I thought my boyfriend would be weirded out, but that was not the case. He can't even feel it during sex. Perfect to use. It helps me know exactly when I am going to get my period. My only suggestion would be not to forget to put it back in if you take it out during sex( because the guy may feel it) you will start your period early."	9	April 6, 2011	1	81
78,393	Lyza	birth control	"I've not had any side effects with lyza and I've been taking it for nearly a year. It's regulated my period and also help lessen the severity of my period, my main reason for taking it. While I can't speak on behalf of it actually being used for birth control, it does work wonders for everything else."	8	June 14, 2017	5	57
12,974	Vardenafil	erectile dysfunction	"My boyfriend is 23 and diabetic, only really had an issue with it staying hard for long. Was introduced to Levitra by a work colleague. Works amazingly! No side effects, and our sex life is amazing - very happy girlfriend! He's on 10mg and would recommend to anyone."	10	October 10, 2012	96	48
128,720	Phentermine	weight loss	"So, I am on day 3. I started my weight at 167 and am 5ft 5in. I am down to 165. Thats a 2 pound drop in 3 days. I like to add, that the majority of the large weight loss at first is not fat... It's water weight. It's usually the first to go on any diet. As for the phentermine, I feel great. No major side effects. I'm not anxious, I'm not moody, and my heart is not racing. I'm on 37.5 mg. I'm also getting the lipoplex shot with B12. I am on a 1300 calorie a day diet (no sugars), and am exercising by walking 3 1/2 miles a day.... So far, my only complaint is sleep... I doze off, wake up, doze off etc. Last night I took melatonin and it helped a lot! Doc said it was okay to take. Look forward to seeing my results in 30 days."	9	April 18, 2015	26	155

Contrave

obesity

"I have been on contrave for about 5 weeks now. I have lost, gained & lost 4lbs. I intend to stay on it another month and try to be more physically active. One thing I have noticed, is that my jeans are not as tight. I have actually gone in 1 - 2 notches on my belt. Which is more impressive to me than the 4 lbs. I had a few headaches off and on for the first 2 weeks, but nothing major. For me the side effects haven't been that bad. I have noticed that it has helped me A LOT with cravings and portions. With contrave, I haven't snacked all day at work or in the evening after supper. It has reduced the amount of food I am able to eat. If I over eat, I feel miserable. I was hoping to lose at least 10 lbs but that hasn't happened yet."

It's starting to get a little frustrating, otherwise I would have given this medicine 10 stars. I've had no mood swings or changes, no acne, no weight gain, none of the dreaded side effects from most birth control pills. If only I would quit bleeding! There is a little scar at the insertion site, but nothing too noticeable. Implanon is extremely convenient. I would say go for it if you're young, healthy, and can't seem to find a pill or other method that works for you."

We later lowered my dosage of Celexa too. I did try to wean off Celexa completely and use Deplin as mono-therapy, but ran into issues. I've been taking Celexa 20mg and Deplin 15mg for over a year now and it's still working great!"

In just a few days, at 5mg at night, my mood is very improved. I can actually get out of bed, I'm much more upbeat, much more pleasant to be around. The only side-effect I have is when I take it, about half an hour later, I am soaked in sweat. My shirt actually becomes saturated to the point I have to change into a dry one. That's why it got 9."

A year before I took Lexapro, I was almost done nursing my youngest and started to get awful pelvic spasms. Then, once I finished nursing, I developed Irritable Bowel Syndrome. After that, anxiety attacks. My Dr. said, "We gotta put you on something" so I asked for something to help calm my stomach and nerve pain in my pelvis. I started on 5 mg, then 10 mg 2 weeks later. It's been 4 weeks and I'm seeing an amazing difference. Pelvic pain significantly reduced, stomach eased, and I'm happier and the "shakes" and nervousness have lessened. Still have some dry mouth, so be prepared. A !"

Within the 30 minutes after insertion I threw up 3x & felt the need to just lay down but literally right after that i was fine...just mild cramping. Was able to drive home. I took 3 Aleve pills once I felt cramping (6/10) *aleve is a life saver for cramps* I continued to take the Aleve pills till day 3 and on day 4 I felt light cramping and started noticing a light lower back pain when laying down. It's day 7 & I just got in bed, I feel the light lower back pain still. (since day 1 I've also had brown discharge, still do *no bad smell*)"

It always worked and so I gladly paid the high price. A little over a year ago, I got one that started on my nose and took over half of my face. It got infected and I needed two types of antibiotics. I didn't suspect the Abreva, until now. This week, I used Abreva on a really small one on my lip, and now it's all the space between my lip and nose, advancing toward my eye, and I'm so swollen I can't eat. Antibiotics again. Goodbye Abreva. Forever."

Before on a scale of 1-10 my face and chest were around a 7 but after being on the medication it's now a 1. My face/chest is now flawless and my back is now only left with scars. My back acne was extremely terrible but after using the medication for a few months, it stopped the breakouts and gave time for my skin to heal. I've used this medication for a little over one year now and I do admit you have to be patient with the medicine. As long as you don't pick and touch your problem spots then it should work nicely. I experienced nausea every morning when I take the medication and a loss in appetite but it's not that bad."

Before starting birth control overall two years ago, I missed at least two days of school and work a month because my cramps, backache, nausea, and headaches prevented me from doing more than sitting in bed crying. After Orsythia, I barely get a period, it lasts four days and I rarely need to use anything more than a pantiliner. I get the occasional cramp, but nothing unmanageable. I love this pill!"

I've heard horror stories about colonoscopy prep so I went searching, and needless to say I wasn't so happy with what I found. Luckily, everything I read didn't seem to apply to me. Suprep was super easy. I just mixed it with some cold berry propel water and drank it down. It honestly didn't even really taste that bad. Kind of like...I don't know, Smirnoff Ice? After drinking that you just have to drink water. I had little to no bloating or abdominal pain on either dose. I just had my colonoscopy at 830 this morning and I'm already home and working. All is well :). Prep was easy, colonoscopy was easy. Happy customer!"

By the time of my second period I only had minimal spotting. I had miserable cramps and psycho mood swings for about two months. By the time of my third period I had no spotting or bleeding at all and the cramps mood swings were subsiding. My skin is the same, I haven't gained any weight (actually lost a few pounds), a little mood swings, no periods, and no pregnancy. I really like the implant. I don't have to think about it. The first couple months were rough but now it's a breeze and I'm really glad that I have it."

I had a blood rash across my face and swollen eyes and started bruising with every little bump of hitting something. I started throwing up 10 hours after I took my morning pill and would throw up everything from dinner the night before and breakfast from the current day. I started throwing up the pill with only the outer layer missing 10 hours or so after taking it about 12 days into starting this med. I would not recommend this for anyone!"

That was a relief. But, I had bad side effects that caused me to ask for a change in medication after 3 or 4 months using it. I didn't realize they were connected to birth control at first, but now it's obvious with timing. I get debilitating migraine headaches during the first few days of the placebo week (from hormone drop), and the week before my period I have severe constipation, which affects my body image (I feel unattractive). It also has me very depressed a week before, too. And this last month, I started spotting 2 weeks in."

I took one pill last night about 7pm to ease my pain/stiffness due to a "really bad day"-I am still going in and out of tiredness and it is 10am the next day. I feel tired, groggy-can't concentrate. I do not like this feeling staying with me throughout my work day-it feels like a "time release" and comes on in waves-ONE pill 15 hours ago.

Within days of the first injection, I immediately noticed a huge decrease in the redness, size, and swelling of the hives, and since then, I've noticed a gradual reduction in the symptoms. I've been hive-free for almost a full month now. The only downside: without insurance, this is extremely expensive. But for me, I consider it absolutely worth it."

My acne got so much worse and would clear up instantly once I started the sugar pills. I went from a D to a DD which is kind of annoying but I didn't gain much weight at least. The worst part, however, was the tenderness in my breasts, it was horrible. Painful to the touch, running or going to the gym was horribly uncomfortable. Just like the acne, during the fourth week on sugar pills the pain disappeared only to return again with a new pack. "

I eat pretty healthily, exercise 2 to 3 times per week, and I'm only 17, but I've gone from 130 pounds to 180 pounds after taking this medicine for 3 and a half years. Another side effect is very vivid dreams that occur every night, but this isn't a problem. I also stopped getting my period for about a year and a half; however, that could have been due to self-starvation, since it has come back now (the medication is also lower than it has been)."

It made me extremely drowsy but it was hard to sleep because I had almost a painful restlessness in my legs so felt I couldn't stop moving yet I was so tired. It was a very uncomfortable feeling. This drug, an anti-psychotic MADE me psychotic. It dramatically changed my personally from the moment I took it. I became aggressive and angry at everyone. If I'd had a higher dose, i think I could have become homicidal. This was a terrible drug for me so I didn't last on it long at all, it was just too dangerous for me."

I don't really use much make up like I used before, I'm not applying foundation, and relatives and friends are surprised too.

I first had two weeks of IL-2 which gave me awful side effects and no changes to the cancer tumors. Have been on Votrient since September 2015. November scan shows tumors shrinking. Feb 2017 shows tumors are still shrinking. Side effects are diarrhea every day, body and muscle pain, scaly sores on my bottom, fatigue, and just recently pain in my hands. I take 800 mg daily, late in the day. I take Tramadol for the body pain."

Viibryd

depression

"I was one if the unlucky ones, and experienced a ton of negative side effects from Viibriyd: sleep paralysis, falls, insomnia, increased anxiety/panic, loss of concentration, a carnival of digestive effects, dizziness, loss of appetite, forgetfulness, etc. Each increase in dosage made the side effects worse. If I'd had a fraction of my usual judgment I would have asked to be taken off of it after the first week. I'm currently tapering off, and for me, the withdrawal symptoms are totally preferable to the side effects. Viibryd is great for a lot of people, and that's awesome. If it is making you feel worse than when you started, stay in close contact with your doctor and do not hesitate to question whether you should stay on it."

Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone

birth control

"I am 20 years old and generally eat well and maintain an active lifestyle. I started using Loestrin 24 FE in April to deal with excessively heavy and irregular periods that started being a problem in January. In the three cycles that I've been on it, I have gotten my period 6 times with irregular spotting in between, so it is not at all having the effects I was hoping for. Another complaint is that I've gone from 130 lbs to 140 lbs with no significant changes in diet or activity."

Abilify

major depressive disorde

"To anyone just starting Abilify, please reconsider. I started it as an add-on to Lexapro. Initially, it helped me feel like getting out of bed in the morning with slightly more energy or a better outlook, or I just wasn't as groggy when I woke up. Initially, that was helpful & I got the Rx free or cheap, so I took it for over 2 years. When I finally realized all these new problems were connected to Abilify , it was too late... 50 lb weight gain, constant involuntarily movements of fingers, toes & tongue, mouth sores, wild, harmful actions with no conscience or regret, many more. Then the worst withdrawal symptoms.. I wished for death for months it was so awful. A year after stopping, I'm still not the same & probably never will be."

I took it maybe a week and a half before my period was scheduled that whole week I was scared and praying to see my period and it came on right on time. My period lasted about 2 and a half weeks. While I had all the symptoms of being pregnant I was scared and convinced that it didn't work. I soon after went and took a pregnancy test I took two actually and they both said I wasn't pregnant. So I took that and ran with it. I took another one a week later just bc I was still scared that came back negative. Don't stress yourself out like I did.. it does work. Wish u the best."

I was prescribed pregablin for Fibromyalgia pain and I can't say I've noticed a difference with pain but its done EVERYTHING for my anxiety! I am way less irritable and moody and feel like I can actually enjoy living a happy and complete life for once without worry, fear or nervousness. I went from being a procrastinating home body to a normal feeling, confident person! My side effects have been blurred vision, sometimes a little sleepy and dizziness. Its 100% worth trying!!"

However 1 week after Plan B was taken I started spotting lightly until actual day of period. So everything went great, as far as taking this on or before ovulation day."

I am a little afraid of getting off the pill but I would like to try. Overall if you need help with your depression this pill is amazing."

I went to my Dr & he prescribed .25mg, the lowest .But I was able to 'function" ,go to weddings ,NOT drink ,since 1999. I'm now on the 2mg addicted? I am able to live w/o alcohol & function, but do feel it ,if I don't take it.Trade off? Maybe,but it's better than being a "captive" of my fears. Just be you!:)"

I personally know 4 people that are prescribed it for back pain 2 stopped taking it because it stopped working. Myself and another person are having the same problem. My best advice ask questions and tell your Dr if you have problems with it or it stops working.I have a call into my Dr. I'm very concerned about the side effects I wasn't told about and I'm in constant pain"

Little did I know this would be a major problem in the future. I had it inserted April 2014 and taken out March 2015. I gained 40 pounds of water weight (edema). My body thought I was pregnant. I am slowly losing the weight and by that I mean it's been a year and I am down 10 pounds. It has been the most awful experience of my life. It also caused the worst panic attacks I've ever had and I lost myself for a few months. If you want to stay healthy and happy I do not recommend this stupid thing at all. Thankfully I have a very supportive boyfriend who was right by my side. Stay away!"

Then spotting for 4-6 days during my last week. This happened for a few months. At first I thought it was still adjusting but now it's a continuous cycle. With the super low estrogen, there's been a lack of lubrication during intercourse. I'll be having burning sensations lasting for a max. 12hrs. Overall it was a bad and good pill. It was bad to have the lack of lubrication and the continuous bleeding every two weeks. It was good to have cleared my acne for the most part and to have intercourse without a condom."

I haven't had a cold sore often enough now to say if taking 2 now 2 later for 2days helps or 4 now and 4 later for 1 day is best. I still have the painful blisters and they still came in the overnight to the 2nd day-not more just the ones that came the first day became fuller. This was on the 2 now and 2 later.

After the panic attacks stopped, I was still suffering from anxiety (a new condition for me), and the Ativan didn't help that, so my doctor switched me to Klonopin, which worked great for day-long anxiety, while I also tapered up on Zoloft.

The horrendous metallic taste that lasted 15 hrs kept it from a 10. However, taking the pill with 24oz of water helped tremendously. After years of waking at 2am for hours at a time, I started Ambien but that didn't help so I moved to Ambien CR. I still woke up several times a night (2-4x), ate some crazy concoction but went right back to sleep. I was happy with that improvement. Due to insurance changes, I was thankfully forced to find another sleep medication. In hindsight, Ambien CR sleep was angry, forced, stressful."

In the end I couldn't stand how it made me feel. Put on 8 pounds in just 5 days. Blood pressure went up and I was EXHAUSTED. I felt very edgy lost confidence in my stride and though the pain I was experiencing did dull it began to expand to both temples, tingling on lips and hands, worst, I just didn't feel myself. I felt both drunk and somehow so fully aware of my strange symptoms It was as though I was observing myself from a foot away. 200 mg twice daily for five days."

I like taking the ER pill rather than popping pills all day long. I've tried so many different opiates, but I much prefer Dilaudid to all the others. I also take 4mg Dilaudid (hydromorphone) as needed for breakthrough pain.

I couldn't even find any info in Japanese, so wasn't sure if it fits Japanese bodies. Right after I started to take the pill, I had the same symptoms as I do during period such as cramping. On the 9th day, I started to bleed but like a spot (still need a pad). I checked the Japanese site and found out that it was a normal side effect ppl have when they start to use BC. So maybe even using different brands, I would have the same thing. The site said that the symptoms wouldn't last longer than 3 months. I'm still bleeding on the 11th day but gotta see."

For me, the daily headaches had become a routine form of torture that I had accepted. As a nurse, I avoided talking to the doctor because I knew a lot of the prophylactic meds were antidepressants or anti seizure meds and I just didn't want to take those types of meds. As my headaches increased to about 5 days per week, I finally decided to get on a new med. I have been on eleavil 12.5mg nightly for 2 weeks. I have not had a single headache and I am beyond thrilled. I have never posted on a blog like this before, but I am so excited about the results I just had to share.

So I stopped taking it for 3 months and I started gaining a lot of weight out of nowhere. I've never been this heavy before, so I'm deciding to take it again but with a vitamin called Evening Primose Oil capsules. Hopefully it will help with my emotional wreck and craziness. Of course, every brand and dose is different for each person. I wish there was something that would tell us what works best for our bodies."

weight loss

"47 yr old male, 6'3, beginning weight in 2012 was 280. Before prescribing, my doc thoroughly checked for a healthy heart and cardiovascular system. If you have high bp, abnormal heart rhythm, hypertension etc, DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION. Also if you have anxiety or panic attacks you may want to report those to your Dr before being prescribed Adipex. This medication requires a great deal of responsibility. It curbs your appetite so you can make lifestyle changes that are easier to maintain after you are off Adipex. This is Aug. 2016 and I now weigh 205 and feel great. My waist size went from a 44 to a 36. When you stop Adipex your energy level will drop, if it doesn't level off after 2 to 3 days, have your doc check your thyroid again."

Zolpidem

insomnia

"For many years, I had no problems falling asleep but after 4 hours would wake again, wide awake, mind racing, etc. I finally asked my doctor to prescribe Ambien and paid extra to get it. It was worth every penny. I found a whole tablet taken at bedtime still only let me sleep 4-5 hours. I had been told I might need to take another tablet if I woke too early, but didn't want to do that. So now, I don't take Ambien at night when I go to sleep. I take 1/2 of a 5 mg tablet when I wake up at 2 or 3 a.m. It works like a charm; I sleep another three or four hours. For me, 2.5 mg works just as well as 5 mg. Great sleep and I've never had sleep amnesia."

Klonopin

anxiety

"Used to take 2 mgs three times per day with my old doctor, stopped for a year, and now I'm on 0.5mg three times a day. I built up a tolerance quickly, but when I have a panic attack 4 mgs stops it dead. I love Klonopin, it lasts longer than Xanax and doesn't give me a crazy hangover feeling the next day!"

Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol

birth control

"I took Yaz prior to my second pregnancy and absolutely loved it. No side effects so I decided to go ahead and start back on it after I was done breastfeeding my second child. I have some other health conditions, so it has taken me 6 months to link the side effects to the pill. I have had horrible headaches that would grow into migraines, which is not good especially with a 3 yr old and 1 yr old. I am beyond tired, I can sleep 20 hours a day if I didn't have children. I am beyond moody and irritable which has had a huge impact on my relationship with my husband, children, family and friends. I have not had a major decrease in sex drive, but have had a dramatic change in vaginal dryness that would make times unbearable. "

Zanaflex

muscle spasm

"Been taking this for months for DDD/DJD (neck). I notice severe pain when I don't take this nightly but still have muscle pain even when I do. Main side effect is severe grogginess and dry mouth/hung over feeling. I have to be in bed about 20 mins after taking it or I am walking into walls literally. I have to drink a lot of water before bed to combat the hung over feeling. Recently switched back to Flexeril. Have also taken Robaxin but that didn't help much either. I get headaches when I take Tramadol and any narcotic so I take Tylenol during the day."

NuvaRing

birth control

"Love Nuvaring. At first I was a little nervous about using it. I thought my boyfriend would be weirded out, but that was not the case. He can't even feel it during sex. Perfect to use. It helps me know exactly when I am going to get my period. My only suggestion would be not to forget to put it back in if you take it out during sex( because the guy may feel it) you will start your period early."

Lyza

birth control

"I've not had any side effects with lyza and I've been taking it for nearly a year. It's regulated my period and also help lessen the severity of my period, my main reason for taking it. While I can't speak on behalf of it actually being used for birth control, it does work wonders for everything else."

Vardenafil

erectile dysfunction

"My boyfriend is 23 and diabetic, only really had an issue with it staying hard for long. Was introduced to Levitra by a work colleague. Works amazingly! No side effects, and our sex life is amazing - very happy girlfriend! He's on 10mg and would recommend to anyone."

Phentermine

weight loss

"So, I am on day 3. I started my weight at 167 and am 5ft 5in. I am down to 165. Thats a 2 pound drop in 3 days. I like to add, that the majority of the large weight loss at first is not fat... It's water weight. It's usually the first to go on any diet. As for the phentermine, I feel great. No major side effects. I'm not anxious, I'm not moody, and my heart is not racing. I'm on 37.5 mg. I'm also getting the lipoplex shot with B12. I am on a 1300 calorie a day diet (no sugars), and am exercising by walking 3 1/2 miles a day.... So far, my only complaint is sleep... I doze off, wake up, doze off etc. Last night I took melatonin and it helped a lot! Doc said it was okay to take. Look forward to seeing my results in 30 days."

Nucynta

pain

"I have acute sciatica and have been taking Percocet 10mg along with tramadol 4x day. I was getting concerned about the acetaminophen so I asked my doctor for Nucynta. I was prescribed 50mg along with the tramadol but I had gotten no pain relief. Then started taking 100mg but the pain is still very noticeable. For me, the Percocet seem to do a better job of pain relief."

Trileptal

seizures

"I have spacial seizures. I take 1200 mg per day. It has been 100% effective for the last two years. I had about six months of problems after I began taking Lipitor, but none since I was taken off the Lipitor. I'm a 67 year old male who has had seizures for over 30 years. It has been as effective as Tegretol was until it stopped working after 14 years. I had a short bout with low sodium after open heart surgery."
