151,628 | Chantix | smoking cessation | "At 31 years of age and a smoker since I was 13, I didn't think there was hope for me. The habit slowly caught up to me and I found myself a pack a day smoker for over the last 10 years. Smoking when I was happy, sad, angry, it was a constant companion for so long and I honestly thought I'd die of COPD on oxygen, begging for that last smoke. Chantix truly changed all of that. It completely eliminated the physical craving, leaving the rest up to me. How bad do I want it? I'm over a week deep. This is longest I've went in 17 years without a smoke. I owe my life to Chantix. I had some initial nausea and wild dreams, irritable...but I'm smoke free. I can beat this. YOU can beat this. Good luck!" | 10 | June 3, 2015 | 32 | 140 |
184,724 | Canagliflozin | diabetes, type 2 | "I take metformin (1000 twice a day) and have been on Invokana 300 for 3.5 months. In the first two months on Invokana, lost 14 lbs and A1C dropped from 10.5 to 7.1. In the last 6 weeks, lost another 8 lbs (now under 200 lbs for the first time in years) and can't wait to see my next A1C! Haven't had any of the serious side effects described by others, no yeast infections. Definitely thirsty and frequent urination but absolutely worth it for the weight loss and the way I'm feeling. My appetite has decreased and my energy level has significantly increased. I swam 11 miles this week! This medication has completely changed my life and I appreciate the 12 months of free medication coupon." | 10 | April 22, 2016 | 67 | 126 |
223,674 | Omalizumab | urticaria | "I have had chronic hives for 10 years now. They started shortly after having gastric bypass surgery and have never gone away. I was on a cocktail of allergy medications for years and they only kept the hives from getting too out of control. I also was on an immune suppressant (that organ transplant patients take) for almost two years with very little change. I tried acupuncture too. About two years ago my allergist approved for me to get Xolair injections. This was the first time in 8 years where I didn't have hives at all. An injection lasts approximately 8 weeks and then I start breaking out again. I have had no side effects from it. I hope one day my hives will go away, but for now, this has been the ONLY medication that has worked" | 9 | January 21, 2017 | 5 | 138 |
11,275 | Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium | premenstrual dysphoric disorde | "I had PMDD extremely bad every month for at least 2- 3 weeks out of the month. Since I've been taking Beyaz I have no more symptoms of PMDD. My periods were irregular now they are on time every month. I am so happy with this birth control. I would recommend it to anyone. Especially if you have PMDD." | 9 | March 24, 2011 | 19 | 59 |
199,536 | Depo-Provera | birth control | "Two years on depo... I have been combatting depression, fatigue, and vaginal dryness since my third shot hoping that I could overcome them or being in denial that is was from the shot, but it's definitely a side effect of the birth control. Though the shot is convenient, with no periods and strong hair and nails, I totally feel like I've been through menopause and am an old lady with NO sex drive. Switching to the patch in December, wish me luck." | 4 | November 17, 2014 | 24 | 82 |
132,385 | Ativan | anxiety | "With proper dosing, i.e.,enough mgs, Ativan works very well in controlling my irritability and anxiety. The only temporary, mild side-effects that occurred were a slight lack of motivation, slight feelings of disorientation, which these dissipated quickly." | 8 | December 24, 2009 | 30 | 36 |
95,144 | Calcitriol | hypocalcemia | "I too take Rocaltrol, but the generic form which is Calcitriol. I had thyroid cancer and my parathyroid was messed up during the removal of the thyroid. Without this medication my body would go numb and I would have facial spasms. I will have to take this medication the rest of my life, but I'm thankful I can get it and insurance does pay for it." | 10 | August 20, 2017 | 0 | 66 |
173,016 | Clonazepam | bipolar disorde | "I've been on this medicine for about a month. I am currently on 1 mg 3x daily. There is no kick to it, in that it's so smooth I'm not sure it's working. I have less outbursts so I think it helps with that." | 8 | April 23, 2013 | 10 | 44 |
158,936 | Goldenseal | skin and structure infection | "Can't breathe over a year. My allergies got real bad. I was so over it, I could not think or do anything. I could only breathe 50% of my lungs I tried everything. No sleep. I take assured allergy relief which contains antihistamine cetirizine HCI ,10mg 1 a day { sold at dollar tree} and goldenseal 800 mg every 6 hr. WOW I CAN BREATHE AND SLEEP!!!!!!" | 10 | July 22, 2017 | 1 | 67 |
124,546 | Skyla | birth control | "I've had Skyla in for a little over a year now and although there is cramping that comes with it I would definitely recommend it! The insertion was really painful! I had to go back a second time because the first time it was unbearable. My OBGYN prescibed me some pain meds and a pill that widened my cervix so it would go in easier. That night I began to bleed a lot and have horrible cramps that lasted two days. After the first week I was completely fine, occasional cramping but I have always had really bad cramps. It has been effective and seems like the easiest most cost effiencient form of birth control!" | 8 | July 9, 2015 | 8 | 115 |
170,741 | Quetiapine | borderline personality disorde | "I have been on Seroquel XR for almost 2 years now, and am at a dose of 400mg. If I drop down to 300mg I become unstable in my mood again. This medication has helped me become stable, I rarely become "high", due to this I have not self-harmed in a year and 6 months.
The weight gain has made me uncomfortable, especially considering that the medication can make me very hungry. However, my weight has now stabilized and I ave a BMI of 28, so its not too bad. I still become very angry sometimes, but attribute this to my own behaviour and coping mechanisms.
Overall, this has given me my life back. My family and friends have noticed the change in me and I feel that I can appear "normal"." | 8 | June 1, 2013 | 17 | 132 |
193,257 | Cyclobenzaprine | muscle spasm | "I have taken this medication a handful of times but after the last dose have decided to stop use and ask doctor for different medication. I suffer from severe neck, shoulder and lower back pain. The medication does nothing to actually get rid of the pain what it does is knock you out. When I finally did manage to make myself get up the next day I was groggy which did not wear off till close to bed time. I have had the same affect every time using this medication but was smart enough to try it on a weekend. I takes at least 24 hours to feel right again. Not looking for a knock out drug I want something to help with the pain and allow me to function. Definitely not the right drug for me. Diclofenac wil help with muscle relaxing just not pain." | 2 | November 13, 2016 | 15 | 146 |
102,435 | Aripiprazole | bipolar disorde | "I started taking Ability 15mg on June 17th and now its June 25th so I've been on it for 8 days. On the 17th I was admitted into a mental hospital because of my bipolar and extreme anxiety. I'm taking it at night along with:
Divalproex(Depakote)750mg, Hydroxyzine(Vistaril)50mg, Trazodone(Desyrel)50mg, and Clonazepam(Klonopin)1mg
It seems to be helping me along with the other medications. So far I dont think I've had any side effects, knock on wood. I definitely recommend this medication if you have bipolar but make sure you take it also with a mood stabalizer. If you take it alone it can cause severe side effects." | 8 | June 25, 2016 | 9 | 105 |
93,364 | Vortioxetine | major depressive disorde | "I have been depressed for 12 years. Throughout my life I've contemplated suicide, I had paranoid thoughts, and had very little self esteem. I have been on and off multiple antidepressants and couldn't find one that made me feel like myself again. Finally, when I started to experience severe mood swings and found myself becoming angry for no reason to the people I loved, I decided I should try to get help once again. My doctor started me on Brintellix and it has helped me so much. Fortunately, I don't experience any side effects. My mood is elevated, I'm gaining my confidence back, I'm more motivated, and most importantly I feel like myself again. I'm taking 10mg currently and find no need to go to a higher dose. The only downfall is the cost" | 10 | October 31, 2014 | 69 | 134 |
201,546 | Zoloft | obsessive compulsive disorde | "I had terrible obsessive compulsive disorder for about 6 years. I remember that I spent all my night on going and coming to toilet for peeing. After I went to the university I was shocked by the bad way of teaching and bad instructors and suddenly the OCD became worse and worse and the hell was eating in my brain. I spent all my wake up time thinking and thinking about silly things and I suffered from terrible pain in my neck, my brain, and my stomach. I went to 7 doctors and tried many medications before I found Zoloft. I tried Anafranil, Solotic, Faverin, Xanax, Atarax, Seroxat, fluoxetine and finally I went to a very good doctor who put me on Zoloft 200mg with risperidone 2mg. That works as a wizard for me after 6 years of the hell of OCD." | 10 | August 26, 2014 | 85 | 142 |
73,145 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | endometriosis | "My doctor recommended me to take this birth control pill as I was diagnosed with endometriosis outside of my ovary and had to get a large cyst removed. So far since I've recently started these hormones I have been feeling great. I just noticed that it makes me very hungry, but my mood has been excellent. Feeling great can't complain." | 10 | December 8, 2014 | 6 | 60 |
77,529 | Cephalexin | upper respiratory tract infection | "Hello guys!
So I went to a local urgent care place on Saturday complaining about headache, chest congestion, cough, runny nose, and sneezing. I informed the doctor on duty that I've already taken my flu shot and I really don't think what I have is the flu. So after the typical check up, he diagnosed me with acute bronchitis/sinusitis and prescribed me Cephalexin 500mg 2xday for 10 days, today is my third day taking the meds and I feel better already. Not to mention, I think I might've had a vaginal bacterial infection or uti and that has cleared as well. Definitely killed 2 birds with 1 stone. Ohh...and the Dr. gave me a prescription for an extra 10 days...definitely will be saving them! Although it's not recommended, I'll use them again!!" | 10 | December 13, 2016 | 24 | 132 |
195,375 | Glatiramer | multiple sclerosis | "Been on this medicine for almost one month not quite sure if its working 100% yet but I feel quite well. Hands still have tingly feeling, but I'm able to work and walk good just have to keep faith! It does burn as being injected other than that I just pray it works well." | 9 | March 28, 2013 | 33 | 54 |
187,050 | Benzaclin | acne | "Due to a switch to a generic brand birth control by the pharmacist, my acne flared like a raging fire. I am almost 30, and it was painful and embarrassing. I have tried numerous topicals when I was younger, but this one is by far the best! I apply it to my face only at night. As recommended by my doctor, I mix my regular face cream with it to provide extra moisture! As a result, I have not had any of the mentioned face peeling/drying issues. I also spot treat my acne scars with Vitamin E cream that makes them fade significantly quicker." | 10 | April 6, 2014 | 22 | 104 |
62 | Medroxyprogesterone | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I'm 18 I started depo in April 2015. I was bleeding off and on big blood clots and I didn't take the second one. Now it's December I stop bleeding then it started again but now I'm light bleeding and I only took 1 depo shot " | 1 | December 27, 2015 | 1 | 47 |
88,978 | Singulair | asthma | "Asthma all my life (40 yrs old) but wanted to cut down / get off the steroid inhaler (Symbicourt) as it does lead to weight gain / hunger pangs and bloating of face.
Offered Singulair - Took one tablet in the daytime - Wrong thing to do !! Completely sedated feeling.
Made a call to continue taking the following treatment :
1. Symbicourt in the morning (Symbicourt users will concede it's like drinking 10 Cups of Coffee)
2. Take a half of Singulair before bed (I have the best nights sleep every night due to its mildly sedative effect).
Best of both worlds.. I have never had broken sleep for 40 years.. once I started with Singular I sleep like a baby and wake up completely refreshed." | 8 | January 30, 2017 | 23 | 127 |
43,555 | Hydromorphone | pain | "My husband had surgery to remove his prostate gland, bladder, and 12 inches of colon six months ago. He was hospitalized for nine days. His lower-back pain was excruciating, and morphine (controlling it himself) and various types of mattresses did nothing to make him comfortable. He was getting no sleep at all until the surgeon offered Dilaudid. It lasted for about 5 hours or so, and he could have it every 6 hours. It brought quick relief to the back pain and relaxed him enough to get decent amount of sleep after several days of terrible discomfort. No side effects for him either." | 10 | July 11, 2009 | 27 | 103 |
191,509 | Lisdexamfetamine | adhd | "If you have social anxiety don't take more than 40 milligrams of Vyvanse because you'll be extremely anxious. I'd also suggest taking 0.25 milligrams of Klonopin in the afternoon to help with the moodiness and anxiety amphetamines cause as they wear off." | 10 | January 26, 2015 | 44 | 42 |
162,651 | Terconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "Developed life thratening reaction after 4 day's selling of face shortness of breath plus other complicated issues 2 years later
II am reaching out to other women please think twice before it is used" | 1 | October 20, 2015 | 6 | 34 |
55,737 | Effexor | depression | "I have been taking Effexor for several years, first starting at 50, 75 then 150mg. As far as treating my depression it has been the best. I am a totally different person when taking it. I do have weird dreams, but I would rather have those than be a living nightmare in reality. What I do not like about Effexor is that it excaberates my chronic constipation condition. I have tried taking other anti-depressants, but they did not work as well treating my depression as Effexor." | 10 | August 24, 2015 | 46 | 86 |
19,751 | Pregabalin | ibromyalgia | "I've been taking this medicine for four days and feel a little off balance still, but the jittery insides are gone and so is almost every pain I had! I feel so good, better mood and everything." | 9 | April 12, 2010 | 22 | 37 |
186,116 | Desvenlafaxine | depression | "My wife unexpectedly told me she wanted a divorce and I was devastated. We have two small boys. I instantly saw a psychiatrist who prescribed me 50 mg of Pristiq. It seemed to help somewhat but I would still breakdown into hysterical crying fits. After 15 days she put me on 100 mg and I've been fine ever since. I feel like I can deal with this now. I have not had any negative side effects, except shaking my leg. I do have insomnia but I had that from the anxiety of the divorce and I'm prescribed something to help me sleep. I can't say for sure if the Pristiq causes the insomnia, but I do feel a little amped. Overall, it's better than I thought as I generally don't feel like I'm on something and feel like myself." | 9 | December 29, 2014 | 141 | 139 |
102,913 | Aripiprazole | depression | "My food cravings are so bad that I've gained 9 lbs in 14 days. My memory is horrible.
Went to the post office and 2 minutes later I forgot I had gone to the post office. Went to Walmart and forgot what store I was in. Blurred vision. Had to hire a driver. Dizziness. Yes, it improved my mood, yet I'm getting off of it!" | 1 | November 8, 2011 | 31 | 65 |
118,944 | Zoloft | anxiety and stress | "I've been taking Zoloft for a little over a year. It has been very effective for controlling my symptoms (I have GAD). Now I'm able to concentrate on my college classes, and in general stopped feeling anxious about different events and situations (exams, trips far away, driving a car, etc).
I started with 12.5mg and took that each morning for 6 months or so, without side effects. Then it stopped working well (the minor, yet bothersome, anxiety episodes came back), so I increased the dose to 25mg, and now am on 37.5mg, and doing good so far.
Usually, I am sensitive to medications, so it was a nice surprise that Zoloft did not affect me negatively. Thanks to Zoloft, I feel like a different, more confident and more calm person now." | 9 | April 13, 2011 | 40 | 131 |
211,900 | Lamotrigine | bipolar disorde | "Started at 25 mg upped to 50 then 100 over 2 week periods. Feel absolutely horrible. Had rash on face at onset now I feel
dizzy, lightheaded, headache, can't handle any smells or smoke, nausea, acid reflux, burping and bruising.
Have backed down to 50 and eventually to 25 to get the hell off!
Can't drive, go anywhere or function." | 1 | April 24, 2016 | 34 | 60 |
936 | Metoprolol Tartrate | heart attack | "I'm a 52 YO male in fairly good shape. I started taking Metoprolol, 50mg twice a day after suffering a cardiac arrest earlier this year, in April. It has been very effective in controlling my blood pressure and keeping my heart rate low. The side effects are becoming unbearable now though. I'm tired, and have a lot of trouble focusing on my work during the day, have a lot of restless nights of tossing and turning, and have now developed a rash under my arms. I think it also contributes to erectile dysfunction. I spoke to my cardiologist about all this today, and he's cutting my dose in half. I'm hoping some of these side effects will diminish when I cut down to 25mg twice a day." | 8 | July 28, 2014 | 104 | 127 |
93,147 | Vortioxetine | major depressive disorde | "After trying dozens of other meds with no results, my doctor prescribed me Brintellix. I was started on 5mg a day and worked my way up to 20mg a day. Even at the lowest dose of 5mg, I started to notice my depression lifting and my anxiety reducing. I became more social on it as well. The higher the dose the better I got. It took about a month to feel a major change." | 10 | December 26, 2015 | 54 | 74 |
154,406 | Tavaborole | onychomycosis, toenail | "I have been using for 8 months. All 10 nails were affected; one of 10 nails is now fungus free. It is obvious that the amount of fungus beneath each nail varies. I was told it can take up to 48 months (4 years) this is encouraging. The curled great toenails no longer give me pain, as they are not as thick and color returning to normal about 1/2 on one and 1/3 on another. Still thinkness in the nails, but it is lessening. I am glad to have found this product. Of course, I hope it won't take the four years, but if it is a success, it won't matter. NOTE: any of your shoes would have the fungus in them. If you continue to wear the same shoes, you are reinfecting yourself. I discarded mine, with the exception of the open toe sandals." | 8 | October 24, 2016 | 9 | 145 |
166,685 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I am 26 and have had 2 kids via c-section. My youngest child is 2 and I have never been on birth control before. I got the Skyla put in about an hour ago. It took all of 5 minutes. Before my appointment, I read all these bad reviews and freaked myself out. The insertion was a little uncomfortable, especially since my c-sections caused my cervix to sit really high so the doctor had to grab it and pull it down. Got it put in during menstruation, as it makes it more comfortable for you. Sharp period-like pain, I said "Oh my goodness" and the doctor said "That was the IUD going in". The end. Don't let the bad reviews scare you. No extra bleeding or cramping, and I feel fine." | 10 | September 13, 2016 | 4 | 131 |
22,060 | Infliximab | ankylosing spondylitis | "My first go around in 2008 was like a miracle. No side effects! After 3 infusions I lost my medical coverage. Remicade took away the morning stiffness and the pain so much I was able to do push ups and squats. If you looked at my stooped forward posture you would know why that's such a big deal. I eventually started driving the city bus after being denied for Social Security. In Sept of 2010, after 2 years of no infusions my condition worsened and I resigned from my bus driver job due to neck movement restriction. Now back on state medical ACHHS, I'm back on Remicade, just had my 2nd infusion, but this time with a cough that I'm not sure was caused by Remicade, time will tell. Overall Remicade is as close to a miracle as it can get." | 9 | February 3, 2011 | 29 | 141 |
118,372 | Naltrexone | opiate dependence | "I am a very young addict, and when I was in rehab I wasn't even aware of the shot. The shot is a wonderful thing. I have had no cravings whatsoever, and I am very hopeful for the future. The shot is not a make everything better thing however one must continue with meetings and work hard everyday at their recovery. Good Luck. Highly recommended." | 10 | April 9, 2012 | 103 | 65 |
132,177 | Ativan | anxiety | "I was super against taking medication. I've started dealing with anxiety (some depression) for awhile now. I got prescribed Ativan months ago, and never took it. I thought I could handle myself again but then my relationship started to fail because of my over thinking. I went back to the doctor, and decided to try it. She prescribed me .50 3 times a day. I took a full one at night after a bad panic attack, and within 30 minutes I was calm and slept through the entire night. I have only been taking a half morning and mid afternoon and full at night because it does make you feel tired. My brain is in a slight fog, but nothing crazy, I still know whats going on though :) Give it a try if you are suffering. You will know after 1." | 9 | August 16, 2016 | 61 | 142 |
112,017 | Gabapentin | anxiety | "I started Gabapentin 7 days ago taking 200mg twice per day. My GAD is worst in the morning and slowly subsides as the day goes on. I also stopped Valium 7 days ago. After many years of using benzos I decided it was enough as I'm sure it was just making my anxiety worse and certainly wasn't helping. Gabapentin has helped me and I feel a lot better than when I was on Valium. I don't know if I'm getting Valium withdrawal effects since it's only been 1 week or side effects from Gabapentin. Feel some nausea, light headed and my breathing is heavy. Overall better and can manage." | 8 | September 5, 2017 | 18 | 109 |
85,821 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "I was on Tri-Nessa for almost 6 months. It did its job on birth control. My acne was almost gone with this medication, and less hormonal during my time of the month. Worked great for me. No abnormal bleeding with this one.
The bad effect that happened to me: During the 6 month period, I had gained 25 pounds. I went from 110 to 135lbs. I wasn't like a twig, I was fit. But then after this, I got tired and just ate all the time. I also would get really nauseous from the first 2 weeks. Works well, but the side effects were bad.
Everybody is different, but this is what happened to me." | 6 | August 5, 2013 | 18 | 115 |
106,810 | Implanon | birth control | "I have been on implanon for almost three years now and will probably get it again when the time is due. When I first started my periods became spotty and then went away all together. It's fantastic. No mood swings, so weight gain, and no acne either. I was on the depo shot before this and that was complete opposite. I've had no issues with implanon and would definitely recommend it." | 10 | March 29, 2015 | 2 | 71 |
182,988 | Cymbalta | ibromyalgia | "I have been on Cymbalta for the last 2 weeks. The side effects have been difficult, stomach pain, the first few nights I couldn't sleep and thoughts raced through my mind, I was also having severe suicidal thoughts and I was still waking up from the pain and tingling sensation in my arms and shoulders. this is week three and I find that my mood has improved, but I'm sweating a lot. the fibro pain is present and I'm tired a lot. I tried taking it at night but find my chest hurting the next day so I switched to mornings on a full stomach and that's improved the stomach pain. I have restless leg and if I'm late on taking my next dose I'm jittery. I don't really know if its working for my pain, but my mood is much better, I'm not suicidal." | 7 | May 12, 2015 | 43 | 145 |
27,731 | Lexapro | anxiety | "Lexapro pretty much saved my life at one point. I’ve had anxiety/depression all my life but a few years ago I was at a low point. I wasn’t getting out of bed and felt like I had no reason to even get up in the morning. One day I decided it was time to live again and I saw a psychiatrist. He prescribed me 10mg of lexapro which I was advised to take half of for the 1st two weeks. As most people have mentioned, the 1st few weeks are for SURE not a good time. If you were already dealing with bad depression, I would advise that you stay close to good people for the 1st couple of weeks. I promise you though, it gets better if you wait it out. MAJOR sexual side effects (as in NO sex drive whatsoever) but if you have bad anxiety, it’s worth it." | 7 | October 25, 2017 | 12 | 151 |
72,156 | Tramadol | pain | "I have been prescribed this medication a couple of different times. Each time I experienced headache, severe nausea and lightheadedness each time I took a dose. Totally not worth it to me" | 1 | February 2, 2015 | 22 | 32 |
95,774 | Sertraline | major depressive disorde | "I was chronically depressed and had many psychiatrists diagnose me with severe depression, which I had experienced unfaillingly for 5 years. I could identify no cause for my depression, which made it even harder for me since I didn't know what was causing me to become extremely suicidal. I had 4-hour lasting sobbing spells (even when I had otherwise great events happening at that time). I felt gloomy, lonesome, uncared for, and depressed.
Now I feel content and at ease for the first time in 5 years. I no longer become sad unless I have a reason to- which for me is phenomenal. If good things happen, I feel happy and not sad. I can function better in my work, family life, and simple daily activities like driving or even grocery shopping." | 9 | September 9, 2014 | 115 | 132 |
101,106 | Rexulti | major depressive disorde | "I've just started the starter pack of Rexulti I am on day 3. It is replacing Ability in my meds. I feel a lift in the depression, however I am experiencing some agitation and anxiety. I'm hoping this improves. It is affecting my dreaming...they aren't nightmares, just very vivid and strange. I am hopeful for this medicine if we can just get the agitation to cease." | 7 | October 7, 2015 | 54 | 66 |
101,848 | Terbinafine | onychomycosis, toenail | "I have 3 pills left. That will complete my 3 months. I guess my nails. Got a little lighter than they were but the thickness still there the only thing I can say is I didn't get any side effects and had my blood tested twice and all organs are normal" | 3 | August 11, 2016 | 10 | 51 |
110,046 | Nexplanon | birth control | "Hello,
So I have been on Nexplanon for about 2 months now. Everything was fine for about the first month, then everything went to hell.
I gained weight, had acne and my mood severely changed.
My period started about 3 weeks ago, and it was the period from hell!! I would not stop bleeding! I couldn't take it after two weeks so I called my Dr. I was constantly changing my pad. This wasn't "spotting".
My Dr. started me on my birth control pill again. Because of the estrogen, my bleeding stopped in 4 days!
I encourage all girls who can't take the bleeding, acne, and weight gain to talk to their Dr. about starting back on estrogen.
My body is back to normal just after 4 days! Talk to your Dr. ladies, this really helps!!!" | 6 | May 2, 2016 | 7 | 136 |

197,535 | Paroxetine | depression | "This medication worked great for me in lifting my occasional depression and keeping me from slipping into a deep depression. However, if I missed a dose or tried to ween off, it made me feel really weird sort of like a bad drug withdrawal. I did not like this feeling." | 8 | February 1, 2009 | 19 | 50 |
136,299 | Prazosin | anxiety and stress | "This medicine SPECIFICALLY helps with PTSD by eliminating nightmares. This is a MIRACLE DRUG for those suffering from PTSD related nightmares and seems to be effective in a large % of sufferers. I had suffered from horribly vivid, recurring, disturbing nightmares which had become so bad I got about 3 hrs. of sleep a night. They stopped after the FIRST DOSE! I found out about it on the web and told my doctor who now regularly prescribes it to patients suffering from PTSD related nightmares." | 10 | August 1, 2008 | 132 | 85 |

Good Luck everyone, I hope you see results, this medication is too expensive not to work. #SlightlyDisappointed #IWillContinueMyJourney" | 2 | October 2, 2017 | 13 | 105 |

Extremely irritable, mood swings every 5 minutes, groggy, eating non-stop since last night. To top it all off my pain is still here. Dr prescibed this to me for pain in my knees, legs, feet, (can barely walk without holding on to something), arms, wrists, and hands (hurt so much I'm unable to grasp anything with my right hand). Been taking Norco 5/325 2x a day for the past 2 years for left shoulder pain due to a car accident which worked well for that, but like any other medication you take for a long period of time it stopped working.

Unlike the rest of the users on the previous reviews, mine did get bigger and did multiply. It is now Tuesday. It didn't get as big as it would get without the valtrex but still up there and not scabbing yet. So its either I'm not lucky like the rest of the users or they are making it up." | 4 | February 2, 2016 | 9 | 72 |

I tried everything, patches, gum, lozenges.. nothing worked for me. It has been pretty easy for me, my dreams are vivid, but very entertaining, really no other side effects. I cut back to one a day after six weeks, seems to be enough. I plan on weaning myself off at the five month mark. I've actually lost seven pounds since I stopped smoking.

However, after about two weeks of use, I had an allergic reaction that caused my eyes to appear as if I had conjunctivitis. Didn't realize it was the Lastacaft and went to the doctor for anti-biotic drops. After my eyes cleared up in two or three days, I again applied Lastacaft and immediately looked like my eyeballs were bleeding. My vision got blurry and my eyes were very sensitive to light.

My mood swings are gone, but I've gained 40 pounds! One of the side effects of this med is weight gain and cravings for carbs and sweets. I like what Gildess has done for my mood, but I hate the weight gain. That may be a factor in me stopping this medication soon." | 8 | June 27, 2015 | 7 | 100 |

Saw positive results with concentration and mood. He was pleasant and easy going. He was on 100 mg per day for the past 8 months, teachers, grandparents and friends saw the positive behavior as well. 3 weeks ago, he decided he does not want to take any medication, needless to say I am sad, for I feel that he will go back to struggling with school work and following rules and back to his oppositional attitude. So far in school things are just okay. His attitude at home is not good. Hope he goes back on Amantadine!" | 10 | December 14, 2011 | 31 | 119 |

The 1st medicine I was given at age 21 being finally officially diagnosed by military doctors, while being deployed to Iraq, was Zomig dissolving tablets. No luck, second was Imitrex tablets - same thing, nothing except side effects. Then I was tried on stat-dose Imitrex, still nothing. The only thing that's helped with killing my migraines is an ER visit being treated with fluids, Valium to knock me out and Dilaudid or morphine along with Phenergran." | 1 | May 24, 2009 | 3 | 98 |
1,084 | Metronidazole | rosacea | "I am 63 and never had a skin condition... Ever. Heat, stress, lack of sleep all contributed to a redness to my face. Now it cracks and peels and swells.

No pregnancies, keeps acne at bay, periods only last ~4 days when it used to be heavy flow for 7 days without birth control (plus, can predict what time it will come; mine starts between 3-7 pm every first day of period). My breasts also went up 1.5 cup sizes.
The only down side for me would be extreme mood swings (mad, sad, crying for no reason... But only towards my husband lol!) during period, breast tenderness (near and during period time), occasional nausea.
After 5 months of use, I tried skipped the series of white pills and went straight into the next pack in hopes of not getting my period for that month... went terribly. Bled/ spotted for the next 30 days." | 8 | December 12, 2014 | 23 | 134 |

The first day I took it, it was like the depressed empty void inside of me (which I now know to be alcohol withdrawal), was filled and I felt whole again. Now, day 5, I feel even better. It's like a dream to be free of cravings and withdrawal, I spent so many years drinking and now I have my life back. It's opened my eyes to what it is to feel normal. No side effects, and I'm on four tablets a day. I tried Aa/Na for 2 years but couldn't stay sober longer than 8 months. Finally I have some peace of mind, no cravings at all, and I'm functioning like a normal person. Thank you doc." | 10 | June 6, 2015 | 111 | 125 |

146,075 | Suboxone | opiate dependence | "After being on pain management for 7 years, my brain started telling my body I needed higher and higher doses. I maxed out on Fentanyl and had enough of the merry go round. I had crossed from dependency to addiction. After a lot of research, I felt a life in pain would be better then what I was putting myself through. I walked into a detox hospital and started Suboxone. I was stunned when my pain was under control. With incorporating a recovery program, I have been clean for 3 years and take 16mg of Suboxone. I've tried lowering my dose, but my pain comes screaming back. I feel absolutely normal and praise the manufacturer for such a great remedy to a complex problem. If you are a Veteran, the VA has a great Suboxone program." | 10 | March 3, 2013 | 64 | 136 |
188,012 | Cholestyramine | post-cholecystectomy diarrhea | "For anyone that's had their gall bladder removed, you all know the pain that comes after. I was first prescribed this by accident because doctor thought I had a bile problem associated with gall bladder surgery. He precribed one scoop a day with water. It helped but I took for years and if I missed a day I felt it. A few years later went to a new doctor who knew what this was and he totally changed how and when to take. As soon as I went in to see him he had a half filled water bottle and I would fill the rest with 8 scoops. I would do this for 3 days, after that I would take 4 scoops for 4 days. It seemed crazy but it worked. After 3 days I became constipated and have never had to take again" | 10 | January 4, 2017 | 9 | 144 |

After two operations it has been decided that it won't kill me, but I will die with it. I rotate various drugs to avoid the dependancy and tolerance problems. I go to a medical school pain clinic and the care has been a life saver. I would strongly recommend anybody with chronic pain to go to a pain clinic.

157,710 | Accutane | acne | "I started accutane late December, 2015. I was on it for 7 weeks 5 days when I had to temporally stop because my liver enzymes were elevated. At this point I was taking 60 mg per day. In regards to my acne, my skin was clearing beautifully! I'm very happy with the results. However, I experienced side effects such as dry skin, dry lips, joint pain, headaches and trouble sleeping sometimes. Within two weeks after stopping accutane, I did some blood work. My results showed that my liver enzymes were back to normal so my doctor advised me to start accutane again. I'm currently taking 60 mg again everyday and I have roughly about 11 weeks more to go on accutane. I do get 1-2 pimples and a few blackheads but nothing cystic." | 9 | March 9, 2016 | 10 | 133 |
209,679 | Lupron Depot | endometriosis | "During my early 30's, I had 2 laporoscopies and 1 laparotomy for severe endometriosis but had no relief from pain. At 34, I had my 1st Lupron Depot shot. It eliminated my pain completely. The only side effects were hot flashes and irritability. The side effects were EXACTLY what I am experiencing with menopause now at the age of 58. I did not have any joint pain or other side effects. After 6 months of shots, my primary care physician advised that bone loss could result from prolonged treatment, so we stopped treatment. As an alternative, I was put on low dose birth control pills which I took every day to stop my periods. Should have done this to begin with! No pain and no side effects!" | 5 | December 1, 2016 | 11 | 127 |

It was working great in the beginning but after around the third day I got extremely tired around 12pm and all I wanted to do was take a nap. I continue to take it thinking that this will change. I only take 150mg, maybe I should ask the doctor to up the dose." | 4 | August 27, 2010 | 17 | 62 |
11,180 | Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium | birth control | "I went from Yaz to Beyaz. Worst decision ever. Yaz was amazing, but I was receiving it for free. They couldn't offer it for free anymore so they put me on Beyaz. My period is longer, my cramps are bad and I am emotional - which is crazy because I was never emotional when I was on Yaz or no birth control! The worst part is the acne. GIANT pimples everywhere. I am 27 and feel like I am 13! Ladies, keep in mind everyone will have their own experience, as it's how it reacts with your specific body." | 5 | June 20, 2012 | 11 | 99 |

138,206 | Ortho Evra | birth control | "As with almost every form of birth control, there are side effects with the patch. However, in my case I really feel that the side effects I've had are totally tolerable. I've been using Ortho Evra for about 3 years and have had some occasional breast tenderness and really occasional spotting. I do notice that I break out in week 3 and am pretty moody in week 4. It's really convenient for those of us who aren't "religious" with pills. Thus far I am a happy camper." | 9 | May 12, 2010 | 8 | 87 |
187,717 | Codeine / guaifenesin | cough | "My daughter and son were both prescribed this and it didn't work for either of them. In fact, they both complained that it gave them a bad headache about an hour after taking it and they are both still coughing all night long. Our pediatrician said this was just as good as Tussionex but much cheaper. I'd rather pay $40 co-pay for the Tussionex since I know it works. No relief for me or my children." | 2 | January 26, 2010 | 33 | 76 |
11,026 | Terbinafine | onychomycosis, toenail | "I took this medicine for 3 weeks and have lost all sense of taste. It has been 2 weeks and I have lost 12 lbs. They say that this is a rare side effect yet I have found many web sites that have many complaints of the same effect? Not worth my time or money. I am depressed, sick, weak all the time and mad as hell I ever took it and my toenails still look bad." | 2 | March 13, 2008 | 131 | 77 |
33,658 | Microgestin Fe 1 / 20 | polycystic ovary syndrome | "I have been on this pill for 9 months. I was put on it to stop the growth of ovarian cysts. I take no other medicines. I eat well and exercise regularly. Only in the past 3 months have I experienced headaches, a bit more moodiness and SUPER TENDER breasts, which have grown a cup size so I don't really mind. I could do without the tenderness though. As far as weight gain, I always am up and down 5 lbs a month. I was actually kind of hoping that this particular pill would keep me on the lower side but I guess not.
Also after reading others reviews I am now thinking that perhaps I have more upset tummy issues due to the pill." | 5 | July 20, 2010 | 16 | 125 |

It works best if you take it consistently. I am a very busy 16 year old girl with sports and school. If I skip a dosage I notice a few blemishes on my shoulders appear. If you get on this and you don't see a difference in a month, call your doctor and ask if they can up your dosage. If you follow the regulations and take it as directed, it works pretty good. I recommend it to anyone who is struggling with finding a face wash to work for them." | 9 | August 31, 2014 | 46 | 119 |
49,909 | Gabapentin | anxiety | "I have been on gabapentin for two weeks now. I'm on 300mg three times a day. It took about a few days for it to start working. But I have to say that this med works! If I do not take it or if I'm getting close to my next dose. I start to feel depressed. I love taking this. It really does help for headache pain, and mood. I got this for depression. Because i do suffer from depression and anxiety a lot. It seems to help with the depression but not anxiety. If anything it makes me more happier. More calmer and more relaxed. I have gotten dependent on this drug for my mood. It doesn't make me sleepy at all. My body has gotten use to taking it. I don't see myself getting off of this. I enjoy being relaxed and feeling calm." | 10 | December 27, 2015 | 126 | 146 |
94,250 | Trintellix | major depressive disorde | "I only stopped taking this medication because I switched insurances and the new company will not cover it at all! Being off of it, I realize what a huge difference this medication made. I took Brintellix for 4 months. I had some difficulty the first couple weeks, to be honest, with sleep. Taking the medication in the evening made sense for me, I slept better vs. taking it in the day time, I slept worse. I ended up not needing to take any of my anti-anxiety pills after a month! My arousal was not hindered at all. Brilliant medication, thank you to whoever discovered this one." | 10 | May 14, 2015 | 56 | 106 |

The dosage reads "1 to 3" pills so I took 2 thinking that I don't want to take too much or too little. This morning, I had 2 soft but reasonably normal bowel movements. Shortly thereafter, throughout the entire day, I had diarrhea seven times! Every time I have a few nibbles of saltines or bread, I have to run to the toilet again! So I will continue to drink ginger ale and herbal tea till I can go to bed without pooping again. Needless to say, I do NOT recommend this product!" | 1 | November 29, 2017 | 1 | 113 |

Never again will I not buy the ovules. The second the cream hit it felt like liquid fire being poured into my vagina. Please, don't buy the cream.

My first BC was Depo PROVERA. I bled right through this, and yes it's common for the first year, also lighter periods. But mine never went away, then brown bleeding. I was switched to the implant, for other reasons, and the same problem still occurred. Then I was put on BC pills to control the bleeding process. All in all, I was backing up my uterine wall with more blood every time I had a period.
Depo Lupron was injected on Jan 18 I bled out all my old blood in a week. I have not had a period or brown bleeding since. My last shot was given March 18. So far, 0 breakthrough bleeding. I love Depo Lupron" | 9 | April 3, 2016 | 18 | 136 |
136,913 | Isotretinoin | acne | "I am an uncommon person. I actually had an adverse reaction to the drug. I was honestly one of the most popular kids in my school. Known for good looks, etc. I was such a pretty boy, that when I started to get even a mild breakout, I urged my mom to make a dermatologist appointment. My dermatologist prescribed me accutane. It was the worst decision of my life. My face EXPLODED with acne. For the past year and a half, I have struggled with depression, visited numerous doctors, surgeons, spent THOUSANDS of dollars on surgeries, and am only about 70% improved from the point that I started accutane. I can not express enough how much this drug has severely effected me in my life, and ask you to use caution when this drug. Please use caution." | 1 | February 3, 2017 | 1 | 137 |
8,340 | Zolpidem | insomnia | "I love this stuff! It's improved my quality of life immensely. I used to wake up in the middle of the night and couldn't go back to sleep. I now take 5 mg at bedtime, and I still wake up after about 4 hours, but then take another 5 mg (I cut the pill in half) and fall right back asleep for another 3 to 4 hours. I've been taking it for 2 years now, and still works as good today as the first day I took it!!" | 10 | May 19, 2015 | 57 | 88 |
