156,495 | Dulaglutide | diabetes, type 2 | "I think Trulicity may have been responsible for my husband's death. He died within 3 months of his first use of this product. Became sick the very first day of his first injection." | 1 | June 17, 2017 | 21 | 33 |
82,799 | Paxil | social anxiety disorde | "Was on Paxil for 4 years because I could never handle the withdrawal symptoms. I had severe aches and electric shocks along with all flu symptoms. I finally slowly tapered off over 3 months with the liquid Paxil.
I have been off of it now for at least 10 years. I have tried at least 100 different supplements and anti anxiety treatments.....I have tried them all...believe me.....it is hell on earth when you can't provide for your family.
I even spent $4000 having all my mercury fillings removed. I had genetic testing of SNP polymorphism's that revealed MTHFR and MAO mutations.
I found a genetic reason for my anxiety. In short I can't make neurotransmitters and when I do I can't break them down so they build up causing social anxiety." | 8 | March 4, 2017 | 5 | 131 |
15,775 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "This pill is horrible. I've tried my fair share of different birth control pills, this being my 4th, and it is by far one of the worst. Since I've started it, it makes me hungry at all times- I NEVER feel full, ever! I can eat and eat and eat and not feel a thing. The increase in appetite and the want to binge has made me gain about 15 pounds since starting this pill about 5 months ago. The main reason I'm on birth control is to lighten my very heavy periods, which it does, but the side effect of increased appetite which causes weight gain makes it not worth it. Will definitely be switching to a different pill asap." | 1 | September 19, 2016 | 1 | 121 |
74,369 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "I have been taking Loestrin for 14 days now. This is my first pill, so I was very concerned with side effects when I started. The first three days weren't too bad except for some light nausea. The fourth night was absolutely terrible- it made me feel like I had the flu the nausea was so bad. After that night, I've only experienced occasional light to moderate nausea. Mood swings here and there as well. Overall feeling pretty good. I have not noticed an increase in weight, cup size, or skin quality." | 8 | March 15, 2010 | 4 | 92 |
148,760 | Mirena | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I got the Merina inserted for Heath issues as I have heavy clot ( bleeding )
I had the Merina inserted under sedation for $490 and on day 24 it had dislodged ( I did not have months prior and post insert ).i called the clinic and told them that it dislodged and that I was feeling unwell with a fever,nausea and cramping they told me that they needed to see me within 24 to 48hrs but the were booked out and advised me to see my GP for antibiotics and painkiller while waiting to see them .6 days after it dislodged they saw me,gave me an ultrasound and said 'sorry this has happen ,and couldn't understand why it has'.The doctor that Had performed the insert was very nice and compassionate and sent me to see the receptionist regarding the re-insert and pricing if any.
I saw the receptionist I asked them if they can do another one and was told yes but I'll have to pay $490. I said that it was no fault of mine and that they need to do it for free or under Medicare .
Heartlessly they showed me my signature that I had signed the disclaimer that this can happen and that they won't replace it free of charge or under Medicare . No compassion, very cold when presenting me with the documents that I signed.
I was so upset and devastated that I burst out crying and left the clinic cos I can't afford to pay for another one . Never again will I deal with them ." | 1 | July 17, 2016 | 11 | 265 |
119,873 | Losartan | high blood pressure | "I was on Lisinipril and developed the dry cough with stress incontinance. My Dr changed my med for BP to Losartan and now I have the same exact symptoms dry cough with stress incontinance. I also am having major hair loss but thankfully no balding yet. My Dr says I have lots of drainage in the back of my throat causing me to cough. She is having me take 2 allergy pills per day but it's been weeks and the cough isn't getting any better. Not sure what med she will switch me too but I sure hope this gets resolved soon.
Too young to have stress incontinance." | 3 | November 17, 2016 | 36 | 108 |
199,730 | Varenicline | smoking cessation | "I started smoking at 19 and moved on to vaping 2 years ago with the occasional cig/pack. Now I'm 24 and I started taking champix 17 days ago. I stopped vaping/smoking at day 12 and the first 3 days were tough but bearable. I expected work to be the hardest part, but really the worst is in the evening when I would ordinarily be sitting on my couch vaping. Now I have a constant headache whenever I spend a few hours being a lazy ass, which is fine.
It can cause your brain to feel a little off
It's not miracle drug, you're still going to have to quit, but it will help you. I've been 4 days and 2 hours nicotine free and I already feel like ceremoniously throwing my vape off a bridge. also, Watch what you eat and get some exercise." | 7 | April 2, 2017 | 15 | 144 |
3,961 | Seroquel XR | depression | "I have only been on Seroquel XR for about a week at 50mg. My doctor prescribed it as an adjunct to Remeron to treat anxiety, depression, paranoia, and insomnia. I also take gabapentin, atenolol, and Xanax. When the Seroquel XR works, it WORKS. I can feel it sedating me two hours after I take it. I've been sleeping eight and nine hours a night, which has not happened in a very, very long time. It's effective at neutralizing both anxiety and depression. BUT... it doesn't last 24 hours for me; it only lasts about 15. Once it wears off my anxiety and depression return with a vengeance. Makes for a very rough 8 or 9 hours until I can take it again." | 6 | August 15, 2016 | 38 | 122 |
223,721 | Omalizumab | urticaria | "After suffering for 8 years with my body exploding into itchy & painful hives & occasionally going into anaphylaxis, my immunologist screened me last year to start on Xolair for Autoimmune Chronic Urticaria, Angioedema, Anaphylaxis. I've been on bi-weekly shots since the start of this year. All I can say is that is a MIRACLE medication! I'm no longer mutating into a monster with head to toe hives, swollen eyes & lips, gasping for air & praying the Epi-Pens do their job before I die. Having been on corticosteroids for so long, I blew up like a parade float & started to have problems with bone degeneration & cataracts. 2 weeks after getting my initial injection; I said farwell to steroids!!! HUZZAH! Loving my life once again. :)" | 10 | February 27, 2014 | 76 | 128 |
70,940 | Magnesium citrate | constipation | "Works 100% effectively. However, timing will be different for everyone. Works immediately for me every time, however the process is pretty drawn out. For some, it'll start and be done in a 3 hour time span. Personally, it started about an hour and a half after taking it, but had me running to the bathroom for over 12 hours. This has happened every time I've used it. So just make sure you give yourself a lot of down time from other activities after you take this. Very effective, though." | 10 | April 7, 2015 | 41 | 89 |
38,754 | Contrave | obesity | "I would NOT suggest this drug. I normally do not get side effects from drugs that are prescribed to me. Let me tell you, I had the worse side effects possible. Day 1 - I took my first pill in the AM, I was kind of scared so I took it with breakfast, no caffeine and only water. About 2 hours into the meds, my heart started to race, my mind was going crazy & I could not concentrate. I was sick to my stomach. There were several occasions where I thought I should tell my co-workers to call 911, it was that bad. I was sweating, shaking, it was horrible! 3 hours into the medication I went home sick that day. I felt like i had the flu. it took all day, sleeping it off overnight for the meds to wear off. DO NOT TAKE!! Only 1 day on Meds." | 1 | November 3, 2017 | 2 | 151 |
23,562 | Methadone | pain | "I find methadone very effective and comforting as use as a pain reliever. I have been on Morphine, percoset, vicoden etc, infact I grew an opiate addiction. I did not intend to shed my narcotics for a drug that is supposed to "not carry a high/ or euphoric effect" I was wanting to keep that feeling, yet still I was never really pain free. I could not function on a daily basis with the amount of pain I was in. My Dr. recently switched me to methadone, and I am so relieved. It is very effective." | 8 | March 7, 2008 | 154 | 96 |
98,270 | Nexplanon | birth control | "Back in 2013 I got my Nexplanon inserted. For the first year and a half I had a period and now it's only a slight one every few months. I can easily say this is the easiest form of birth control (besides abstinence) because you literally don't have to do anything or worry about it. I highly recommend it to everyone, especially people (like me) who can't remember to take a pill at the same time every day or wheb to change your patch or whatever the case. Also this is my second one so I can say from experience that insertion and removal are both not bad as far as pain goes. Hopefully it works for you :)" | 10 | May 31, 2015 | 4 | 119 |
153,449 | Doxycycline | acne | "I've always had mild teenage acne since middle achool and nothing worked. I finally decided to go to the dermatologist to get rid of my acne once and for all. Once I got the prescription I was told to avoid dairy. I was so nauseous every day throwing up at school for a week straight. But other than extreme nausea and occasional vomiting within 2 months of diligent pill taking 95% of all my facial, shoulder, chest, back, and cystic acne has cleared. Other than take with food and dairy or prepare for some side effects this has worked wonders. Highly recommend." | 8 | July 23, 2013 | 10 | 102 |
128,898 | Phentermine | weight loss | "I started phentermine on May 1st 2014 lost 9 pounds the first week. It's hard to eat I'm never hungry so I need to start eating something healthy and small a few times a day. I have missed 5 pills this month but now on May 29th I'm down 13 pounds starting weight 189 now at 176 hoping it will continue to drop I'd like to be at 150." | 8 | May 29, 2014 | 74 | 69 |
165,362 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "It was all going well until 6 months into it a sudden burst of laughter dislodged the Mirena and it eventually perforated the uterus and ended up on the outside. After 2 lots of ultrasounds it has to be removed by laparoscopic surgery. Not a good option if you live outside the city as many appointments to get it sorted plus the expense of it all." | 4 | June 23, 2017 | 3 | 66 |
37,053 | Librium | alcohol withdrawal | "My heart goes out to anybody who has or is going through the real horrendous side of drink, the sweats shakes delirium, there is help (chlordiazepoxide) it WILL help you if you really want to quit. Ps: the max (librium) dose is 25mg per day (5x5)mg" | 8 | November 8, 2013 | 51 | 46 |
164,963 | Phentermine / topiramate | weight loss | "Been taking it sense November 2015 it's now March 2016 I've lost 39 pounds I think the meds are very effective but I have experienced tingling in my fingers & toes also dry mouth but nothing more than that just concerned about the side affects regarding pregnancy I pay about 130 a month cause my insurance wont cover but I feel like its worth the money" | 10 | March 22, 2016 | 41 | 66 |
6,524 | Sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate | bowel preparation | "Just used this product for first time in preparation for hemorrhoid removal surgery in the morning. It kicked in within 3-4 minutes. Seems to have cleared things for now. I get to do it again in the morning, oh joy. " | 9 | December 1, 2016 | 5 | 41 |
172,853 | Clonazepam | anxiety | "For the past few years I have been suffering from severe anxiety and depression, when my Doctor put me on 0.5 mg I didn't know if it would help or not, but in just a month or 2, my life has changed a lot for the better. I've been more self confident, and going out more. It really does help. As people have mentioned before take the lowest dosage that suits you. It really is a great treatment for anxiety. Though everyone is different, if you're running out of options you should definitely ask your Doctor about it!" | 10 | March 22, 2014 | 92 | 98 |
48,785 | Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel | birth control | "I've been on Aubra for a month now. My experience with this birth control was really great. I didn't know what to expect on this pill but I ended up having a great experience. I had little to no nausea and I only got a tiny bit emotional the week of my period. I love being on this pill. It eased my cramps a lot and doesn't make me break out. I will continue to use this birth control." | 10 | March 9, 2017 | 2 | 79 |
137,948 | Ortho Evra | birth control | "I've been using the patch for about 6 years, and it's been great. No babies, it's done its job, lighter periods. I occasionally forget to change it and always get scared it'll effect it, but the directions help to explain what to do if miss a day, and it never effected me. I put it on the back of my lower legs, and alternate every week to avoid rashes. I shave the small area right before applying the patch and it makes it really easy to take off, doesn't hurt. Only thing with the leg, pants make the surrounding get black fuzzier. I've been having a problem with lack of sec drive and interest lately (past 2yrs) and I'm starting to wonder if it's from the patch... if going in hot tube or swimming vaca put a bandage over it itll fall off." | 9 | May 5, 2016 | 7 | 143 |
157,770 | Accutane | acne | "I had to rate Accutane highly, as it did exactly as advertised. I lived with chronic cystic acne for most of my teenage years, and went on Accutane at 20. Six months of treatment, and my acne was gone. I'm 37 now, and have not experienced any long term side effects other than having my acne cured. I tried many medicines to treat the condition, but this one flat-out cured it. I would not have thought it possible." | 9 | September 13, 2012 | 19 | 78 |
130,763 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I had read so many bad reviews prior to my appointment, and I just wanted to share the positive experience I've had since having the Mirena inserted in June '11. I am a 29-year old mother of one. Prior to having a child, I had been on many versions of the pill, with no issues. A year after my son was born, I tried the mini-pill, along with other lower-dose versions of the pill, but found that I was moody and wanting to crawl out of my skin most of the time. My doctor had recommended Mirena, as it contains a very small amount of a progestin hormone.
Insertion was mildly uncomfortable, but tolerable; Some cramping continued for the next 24 hours, but nothing worse than what I had experienced during periods. I have noticed an increase in hair loss while in the shower, but nothing abnormal; I'm not going bald. I would occasionally notice my breasts were tender, but typically around the time of menstruation. I have had zero issues with weight gain or mood swings, and found no issues with my libido. It has been five months and I have stopped getting my period, as of this month. Hurray!
I've always had very heavy periods, but they became much lighter almost immediately. The most irritating part was spotting for days before and after my actual period. Dealing with that just took a little patience, because like I said, I've now stopped menstruating. I would absolutely recommend this, and hope that the negative experiences of others don't scare everyone as much as they had initially scared me." | 9 | October 13, 2011 | 3 | 268 |
101,561 | Flurbiprofen | back pain | "Wonderful medicine for me, absolutely could not walk because of the pain in my back, 4 pills and 3 days later, was walking again. I take 2 pills at first, then 1 per day and do not need anymore until I do something like lifting something too heavy or pushing a car. Keep your script handy, but no need to take it everyday." | 10 | October 8, 2011 | 11 | 63 |
9,267 | Clobetasol | psoriasis | "After a very bad breakout from a strep infection, this was the only thing that stopped the itch! After using this twice a day for a week (along with UV treatments), I started seeing my psoriasis clear up. And the spray is so much easier to apply." | 10 | April 29, 2008 | 18 | 47 |
163,732 | Mirtazapine | anxiety | "After 10 years on SSRIs, my doctor switched me to Remeron. It works well for me for anxiety and depression. It does give me ridiculous levels of restless leg syndrome about an hour after I take it, but that's really the only bad side effect. It does not kill libido or cause delayed orgasm like Lexapro did for me. I think it's a good medicine and surprised that it isn't more of a first line medication. It does make you want to eat everything in sight, so you have to have willpower to control that urge but I am able to keep that in check." | 8 | April 22, 2012 | 74 | 105 |
170,324 | Quetiapine | obsessive compulsive disorde | "This is hands down the best drug I have taken for my OCD. The first dose had a dramatic impact on me. I take 50mgs one hour before bed and I sleep a solid 9 to 10 hours eveynight. Got up the next and had so much energy that I was looking for something to do while on vacation. This drug is awesome!!!" | 10 | April 27, 2016 | 13 | 63 |
137,507 | Isotretinoin | acne | "Accutane was one of the best things that ever happened to me! Until I started taking Accutane I had the lowest self esteem imaginable. Didn't like looking in the mirror because it seemed like everyday there was a new pimple. It was hard not to pop them, but when I did they'd leave awful scars that are still on my face to this day. After Accutane, which took about a month to kick in, the bumps didn't come nearly as bad. While I was on the medication I had no acne whatsoever. My face was BEAUTIFUL. I'd recommend it. Chapped lips and dry hair are a SMALL price to pay for you to gain confidence to show people your face." | 10 | September 18, 2009 | 22 | 120 |
188,440 | ParaGard | birth control | "I had paragard inserted 8 weeks after my 2nd baby was born (2years back).The process was not painful but uncomfortable. Paragard has helped me in having no pregnancies- so it does what its supposed. But at the cost of what! I was 5'3' 120lb when I got it. I started gaining weight not sure whether paragard is to blame. My periods are so heavier that I can't use tampons, and have to change the thickest pad every 2 hours for 2 days out of 5 days. My blood tests shows I am anemic despite the fact I am particular about diet. I have had constant yeast infections , 1 episode of UTI which I never had before in my life. There is a constant discharge, and pantyliner is a must. I'm getting removed. Pattern-most bad reviews are by people who had it for a while." | 4 | March 5, 2017 | 5 | 145 |
63,576 | Epiduo | acne | "I am on epiduo and my skin is very dry and irritated but, the acne is ALL gone!! When my Doctor prescribed me to this she have me a sample package that provided me with a gentle soap cleanser called cetaphil and along with the epiduo samples. To calm down the dryness I would steam my face often and that helped for about 20 miniutes after that my skin would irritate me and burn. The dryness mostly happened around the nose area and chin and a little bit around the cheek bones. I think this product does wonders and really improves your acne scars and marks. HIGHLY RECOMENDED :)" | 9 | April 24, 2015 | 18 | 109 |
165,935 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "DONT LET THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS SCARE YOU! I would never tell someone not to do something with their body that may or may not work for them. I used ortho tricyclen for three years and it was great but I started to get really terrible at taking my pills on time so I did my research, read crazy reviews and finally took the plunge and got Skyla. Insertion was horrible for me because I have a retroverted uterus (which I find out at the insertion appointment) so the normal pain of insertion was amplified.. however, once it was in I only had some mild cramping and I was good to go. I've had it for a month now and although my period cramps are the worst they've ever been, I think Skyla is worth it." | 10 | February 28, 2017 | 3 | 135 |
28,328 | Lexapro | depression | "I am a 18 yo girl and diagnosed for depression. My 1st week with 10 mg Lexapro is beyond horrible: depression got worse, heart racing, sharpened negative thoughts, and no motivation at all when wake up in the morning. I cant concentrate and feel as if I wanna cry most of the time. It lingers till evening and tapers off toward night. At night, I feel euphoric. No problem with sleeping and weight gain. But since my depression got worse, doctor decided to double my dose to 20 mg. 2nd week was even worse: nightmare every night, fatigue, lethargic, gases in stomach. In 3rd week, it finally helps!! Negative thoughts went away and I feel lightheaded. Side effect: emotion numbness, sleepy, lazy. But overall this medicine is a true miracle." | 9 | October 18, 2014 | 89 | 130 |
134,929 | Dapsone | acne | "I've been using Aczone twice a day for 4 and a half weeks for my red pimples. When I went to my dermatologist she put a needle in each pimple it was a medicine which helped a little bit. And ever since using aczone nothing worked. It clearly says after a specific period of time if the cream doesn't work change it to a new cream or gel. This cream is not so great. Giorgio armani CC cream works for my skin way better, and the dior nude air powder is great for my oily skin. I will definitely get a different prescription cream." | 4 | October 21, 2017 | 0 | 104 |
176,081 | Famvir | herpes simplex, mucocutaneous/immunocompetent host | "I have been taken Famvir for a year. I had multiple outbreaks in the past, but I take Famvir daily and I have only had 2 mild outbreaks within a year. It really helps not having the pain and depression with outbreaks. It is a great medication and made my life better." | 10 | September 25, 2008 | 27 | 52 |
167,839 | Eletriptan | migraine | "I started getting a migraine at 6:30am on my way to work. By seven I had all the major symptoms. I asked my boss if he had anything and he sent me to a friend. She had Relpax. I asked her if it would take the edge off and let me work. She said in 1/2 hour I wouldn't remember I had a head ache. She was right. This is the first medicine that stopped the migraine cold. I went to my Doctor and got a prescription of my own. No side effects at all for me." | 10 | June 28, 2009 | 7 | 97 |
89,298 | Celexa | depression | "Initially, Celexa seemed to be a drug designed for me. The abysmal lows and occasional glimpses of normality eventually gave way to an emotional state that was calm with no anxiety. On the other hand, there were no highs just the flatline sense of calm. From the beginning un try il about the 2 year mark my serenity became so overwhelming that paying bills, house cleaning, checking the oil, getting to work on time, making and going to doctor appointments and a dozen other aspects of daily life all became unimportant. Nothing disturbed me, overdue notices, collection calls, etc. This went on for about two years until I reached the height of serenity and then began an ugly, violent, self-destructive and ultimately suicidal state of mind." | 2 | December 22, 2015 | 48 | 126 |
16,923 | Copaxone | multiple sclerosis | "Really nasty side effects - The injections are so painful that I had to find ways just to tolerate the pain. I put a Lidaderm patch on as soon as I take the shot. This helps with the pain, but then I get these large welts that last for days and are very itchy. I found a Lidocane cream to help with the itching, but suffer from having under the skin turn into a leathery hard tissue. These do heal, but the constant assault on my body has been a nightmare. I went off the drug, three weeks later had a serious relapse. I am back on the drug, I have tried everything, using the autoinjector, not using it - nothing really changes how the drug affects me. " | 1 | November 8, 2009 | 27 | 129 |
61,658 | Citalopram | depression | "I've suffered from dysthymia and depression for years but never knew what I could do about it as my insurance does not cover mental health. I finally askedy gp if she had any suggestions and she informed me that Walmart has some $4 generics. So she put me on citalopram 20mg. The difference in the beginning was definitely a step in the right direction. 6 weeks later she bumped me up to 40mg. The change was amazing. Not only did I notice a difference in my attitude, my energy levels, my overall mood, so did others. My depression had impacted my work and personal life severely. People remarked how much they notice I've changed. I tried switching to Paxil at one point but that was awful. I went back to Celexa and that's where I'm staying!" | 9 | May 24, 2016 | 26 | 136 |
162,386 | Triamcinolone | allergic rhinitis | "Highly effective! As any sufferer knows, night time is the most crucial time. I no longer fear waking up in a panic gasping for air as the nasal passages swell shut. (In a deep sleep, I have learned that brain creates nightmares to wake you up!) In addition to night time relief, I am more focused at the office as a software engineer that may sit behind a computer for up to 12 hours a day.I look foward now to both sleep and work." | 10 | February 23, 2014 | 14 | 84 |
16,135 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "This is the third week I have been on this pill. Absolutely worst birth control I have ever taken. I have been having really bad pains in my chest like the left side where my heart is. Shortness of breath, pains in my breast, and mind grains on a daily basis. I am stopping this pill as of today. I think I will just use condoms because I not putting my life at risk again." | 1 | May 2, 2016 | 4 | 75 |
60,653 | Ziconotide | chronic pain | "Had Prialt in my naive pump for less than 8 hours and had a major allergic reaction. My dr had to remove the Prialt from my pump & catheter and rinse & flush with saline. I was nervous about getting this med due to all the negative reviews online. Wish I had never tried it. This was a bad experience." | 1 | August 4, 2016 | 6 | 60 |
172,458 | Clonazepam | anxiety | "Clonazepam. 1mg in am. 1 mg at bedtime. Helps with myoclonus symptoms and sleep at night. Side effect is severe aggravation. Along with this I take Venlafaxin for Double Depression. Neither does anything for anxiety. Think the Clonazepam needs to go away in the daytime and perhaps a trileptic for anxiety. Not crazy about Benzos." | 3 | June 18, 2016 | 3 | 55 |
31,090 | Miconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "This is my first time using it. I am on a trip so my mom recommended this to use. It's been about 25-30 mins since I used the cream and the itching has not gone away! It is was worse then my YI. I will have to suffer through it for the next 6 nights I guess. No sleep for a week." | 2 | January 7, 2017 | 2 | 62 |
129,086 | Levonorgestrel | emergency contraception | "I discontinued birth control several months ago after taking it for 18 years and in a moment of passion my husband and I flat out forgot that I wasn't protected and took no precautions. We realized our mistake after it was too late. It was day 15 of my cycle and the next morning I could tell I was ovulating. I bought plan b and expected to feel very sick. I just prayed I wouldn't throw up during the first two hours. Even normal bc pills make me vomit when starting a new pack. I was shocked when I felt totally fine, other than some dizziness. I even did some yoga (and felt like Amy Schumer).

146,136 | Suboxone | opiate dependence | "I was an addict for 10 years and Suboxone saved my life period, and my families lives. Totally clean for over 3 years its a miracle. It's impossible to quit without it its easy to quit with it. I was as bad as it gets. If you are thinking of getting on Suboxone do it.

106,054 | Atomoxetine | adhd | "I've been taking Strattera for half a month now, I am 34, and it seems to be doing a pretty good job of increasing my attention span. I have some, but not many signs of decreased sexual appetite, depression, or suicidal thoughts. I HAVE, however, noticed that I am biting my tongue on the right side of my mouth and when I forget to take the medicine this stops. It usually happens when I am concentrating, and while I was typing this review, I found myself doing it again. This is very strange, as I haven't heard about it. Also, when I get the shivers, I notice that they now linger at the top of my scalp. I am assuming this has something to do with increased blood flow in your brain or some such thing." | 9 | August 2, 2011 | 14 | 136 |

I took this pill 25 hours after intimacy & was scared to death for like 2 weeks! The nausea side effect was lasting more than the 5 days it read on the paper or maybe I just freaked myself out..

Nothing worked and I went to the hospital more times than I can count because of it. Two weeks ago I went 16 days without passing anything, a new record for me. My OB sent me to my fourth GI Dr (I'm pregnant) and she gave me two weeks of samples of Trulance. She said this was new and approved for pregnancy. She also said a period of diarrhea was likely but to stick it through and see if it works before giving up. Its only been 3 days and today I had my first full, perfect consistency bowel movement in over a decade and I actually cried.

Tried the variations of liquid with it and this being my third, nothing helps. I resist puking as long as possible. I went the entire day on clear liquids, until after that first bottle. Yup. I ate four crackers. That did help some as the taste left is absolutely awful.
I would rather take any pill (in any combination of pills) than drink this!!
GI Specialists, please listen. We take time out of our busy lives to actually Share & Voice our concerns and opinions.
We want a different choice. Why??

Unlike Allegra D 12-hour, I'm having trouble with side effects: insomnia, nausea, heart burn, cramping. The stomach-related effects are beginning to taper off, but the insomnia isn't." | 9 | July 10, 2009 | 18 | 73 |

The 1st shot cycle I did not get my period but we were still using other forms of contraceptive just in case. During the 2nd shot cycle I started lightly spotting but the doctor told me that was normal. I noticed the spotting was not going away throughout the entire 3 months and decided I did not want to go in and get my 3rd shot. I had gained weight, was irritable, and my sex drive had significantly decreased and was beginning to take a toll on my marriage. It has now been exactly 32 days since I should have gotten the 3rd shot and I am still bleeding extremely heavily, everyday and absolutely miserable." | 1 | February 5, 2016 | 9 | 143 |

My only complaint is that I gained weight. It makes me hungry constantly. I gained 10 lbs in two years. I could of kept off the weight if I watched what I ate and exercised more. Overall great pill.

Stomach pain from Norco is in lower stomach and sides where original pain was, so I'm also not sure if I'm treating the cure sometimes.
Kills appetite, mainly nausea, 60 mg lets me get through physical therapy okay, but am losing weight fast (15 pounds/1 month) from nausea - just not right one for me - not fond of Percocet either, but don't know of anything "between" that might work.

I started this a bit nervous I kept a low dose for awhile, around 1.8 because I had stomach upset but I did take it at night to help with that. I ended up taking the full dose but found 2.4 is more then enough to suppress my appetite.

My doctor prescribed 100mg Viagra which worked for a while and then it got harder to produce an erection. The doctor asked me if I thought I could stick a small needle into my penis. I told him I could and would if it would help me get an erection. I have been using Edex for over 2 years with mostly a good reaction to the drug. The only reason I gave it a rating of 9 instead of a 10 was every once in a while when sticking the needle in I would miss the sweet spot on my penis and my erection wouldn't happen or only last a short amount of time. I'm finding after 2 years of using Edex the needle has become harder to inject and more pain full. My wife loves the hardness." | 9 | April 25, 2017 | 9 | 152 |

157,540 | Accutane | acne | "Hello everyone,
I'm your typical 18 year old lad and have never written on a forum before but I want to write something for the people that are worried about taking this (in my opinion) miracle drug. I am coming to the end of my 6 month course and I can honestly say it's been life changing.
Before I started Roaccutane, I was fairly depressed and seriously lacking confidence due to my appearance. But after months of failed treatments on various antibiotics, I was referred to a dermatologist who instantly said there's only one way to fix my acne problem, Roaccutane. At first I thought this is the worst case scenario and I'm going to be even more depressed as a result of the possible mental health side affects. Depression has run in my family so I was very worried. However, living like with acne wasn't something I was prepared to do, so I started the course on 40mg a day.
The first week I had a headache daily, but thankfully these die off after a week and paracetamol and ibuprofen will take all the pain away. Almost immediately, my lips were cracking and from then on in, I never went anywhere without some Carmex lip balm in my pocket.
As the first 3 months went by, I was still breaking out and was starting to think it isn't going to work. However, I'm so glad I stuck with it because now I haven't got a single spot of my face and the scars have faded to the point where you can barely see them! After the third month, my derm upped my dose and I started to take 60mg a day.
Luckily for me I hadn't had any serious side affects. Just your occasional nose bleed and dry skin, and sometimes my eyes were a bit blurry but it's not much of an issue.
Anyway, I just want anyone reading this that is worried about starting this medication, that not everyone has a horror story about Roaccutane and I couldn't be happier at how it's made me feel!!
Don't let acne take over your life!:)" | 10 | January 17, 2017 | 34 | 356 |
6,126 | Minastrin 24 Fe | birth control | "I have endometriosis and polycystic ovarian disease. Both of which have been proved via ultra sound and surgeries. I've been off birth control for 3 years and decided to start taking it again to preserve bit fertility I have left. After only a few days I felt what was similar to a UTI paired with throwing up. On top of that I have had panic attacks, high anxiety, suicidal thoughts, you name it. Following a heart to heart with a close friend, my mom and my sister I've realized the birth control definitely induced this. I haven't changed anything over the past except that. For anyone that has a very busy life, stressed anyways, or has any kind of underlying depression/anxiety- please be very careful when you take this." | 1 | October 12, 2015 | 10 | 129 |
19,916 | Pregabalin | ibromyalgia | "I have tried everything to help with my fibromyalgia pain. I have tried Cymbalta and other anti-depressants as well as opiates like Tylenol with codeine and Vicodin. I have also tried muscle relaxants like Soma. All of these helped but I still had painful days. Lyrica gets rid of the pain. I have been on it for 2 months and it is a miracle drug. I have my life back and can be productive. Also controls painful flares. Haven't had a flare yet. Lyrica is great." | 10 | April 21, 2009 | 23 | 86 |

Topamax has left me with side effects which do NOT include weight loss. I might be more willing to hang in there if I lost a few pounds. I am still having migraines on 75 mg per day, I am depressed, anxious and just scattered. I hate the way I feel and therefore am going back to the doctor to talk about coming off the drug. I am taking more Relpax than ever before even after about 6 months on Topamax. I wish it worked for me because migraines interfere with my life." | 3 | January 10, 2010 | 11 | 120 |
131,901 | Effexor XR | depression | "I have been on Effexor XR for over 15 years. I take a daily dosage of 300mg. It has been the most significant thing in my life! I am able to function normally, hold down a sometimes stressful job, be a great parent and most of all be the best me possible. I have a hormonal imbalance which causes my depression and no amount of psychological intervention was ever going to change that. Effexor XR did. Whilst there are side effects, my body has become accustomed to them and believe me they are nothing in comparison to the dreadful depression. I believe that it has saved my life and ensured that the life I lead is a good one. A couple of tablets a day, some minor side effects and I can get on with a wonderful life." | 10 | September 5, 2013 | 123 | 138 |

My Endocrinologist suggested I try going up to the 10mcg dose. nausea, gas, stomach upset and constipation. I ended up in bed most afternoons. Numbers are now good and I've lost another 4 pounds. Too much lifestyle impairment due to side effects so I went back to the lower dose, still having stomach aches and constipation. I'm giving it time, but so far this has been an uncomfortable experience." | 6 | April 21, 2012 | 33 | 88 |

I used about anything that I could get my hands on that would get me high. Eventually I ended up using heroin as my drug of choice, until I was introduced to buprenorphine.. What a change took place, this stuff is nothing short of a miracle in my life. I can now function better in all aspects of my life, without the fear of going back to alcohol or drugs. I can't say enough about it. The only problem I have is that I have, what my doctor calls, Venus deficiency (swelling of the legs).. He claims that buprenorphine has nothing to do with it, but it seems like too many people that use it, tend to have the same symptoms" | 10 | December 20, 2016 | 5 | 143 |

Still experiencing mild stomach pains but nausea is mostly gone now." | 7 | December 14, 2015 | 7 | 75 |
215,659 | Copper | birth control | "I absolutely love my ParaGard IUD choice. It has been the best choice for me in terms of birth control as hormonal birth control was not something that I wanted to be on any longer. I did not find insertion painful, more like a heavy period cramp that lasted 10-20 seconds. I had light cramping with my periods prior to the IUD insertion and my cramping has not changed significantly at all. My cycle is slightly longer. The first few months were tender and I did have some increased cramping initially but it returned to my normal within a few months. I also experienced a pH change in the first few months resulting in a vaginal infection. This went away after my body adjusted to the IUD. Since then, it has been such a great choice!" | 10 | May 23, 2017 | 8 | 136 |
130,989 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I am 20 yrs old and I had it put in in January and so far its been good. I haven't had any problems with it except some hair loss but cant really say its more than average and as for acne my face actually has been clearing up. The one downer is that I still get my period but it last up to 3 weeks but its super light. Aside from that its great. This my first time ever taking birth control and its been good to me. The insertion hurt a lot - they told me it would because I haven't had kids. So it's good. I recommend it but I also tell people that its not for everyone." | 8 | April 19, 2010 | 1 | 121 |
214,769 | Prevpac | helicobacter pylori infection | "On Day 6 of the 14 day treatment. The side effects I've experienced haven't been too bad: the bad taste in your mouth (usually at night and first thing in the morning), hard time staying asleep (insomnia), yellow stools, and some left side aches which I think may have to do with constipation. I'm sure I would be worse if I didn't take a probiotic with every dose of these meds." | 8 | January 25, 2016 | 15 | 71 |

I ate a high protein diet, beef jerky, cheese, and yogurt. They told me 1200 calories but that felt impossible! I did exercise the first month but slacked in the second. I lost 50 pounds total in those 2 months. There after I did not gain my appetite back and got all the way down to 162 pounds. This medicine is absolutely amazing!

I felt like I was on my cycle for 3 weeks and off for 1 week. It was crazy. Don't use my rating to decide if you are going to use it because everyone is different. " | 1 | July 6, 2011 | 0 | 100 |

I now add an extra night every couple of weeks and no sweat from pits for over a year. Yes, it can itch but remember to dab not smear it on.

At first, I didn't notice any change. I mean, I was still slightly sick. I was expecting the nausea to disappear completely like Zofran would have done. I kinda thought it wasn't working, so I decided to stop taking it...big mistake...my nausea was SEVERE once I stopped taking it. I decided to give it another go. By comparison, I could tell that it was working. I still feel tired, and certain things still make me feel sick (like strong smells and certain foods), but I am no where near as sick as I would be if I stopped taking it. I can totally tell if I miss a dose." | 10 | June 11, 2016 | 6 | 135 |

I didn't know rather or not to take it and looked for as much information as I could. Most of the review I read were negative but I was in such a bad place that I chose to still give it a try. So, I want there to actually be a good review out there for people to see and read. I can say that Lexapro changed my life. My extreme anxiety is gone. I sleep normally and I feel like a new person.

I've tried every birth control method possible from the IUD, Nuva Ring, Ortho, the patch and this is what works best for me. Every person is different, but this pill for me has not given me side effects that are noticeable. About a week before my period I have a day or two, where I am a little more sensitive than normal, but nothing that isn't tolerable. Periods are super light and short, lasting no more than 3-4 days. As far as weight gain, I have not noticed any extra weight, working out maintains that. Overall, the best birth control pill I have ever been on.

I haven't experienced any bad side effects except for the occasional drowsiness and loopy feeling, but the benefits definitely outweigh that and I'd recommend this medicine to anyone in severe pain. As everyone else has said, use with caution and take only as needed per doctors orders.

I didn't get any other side effects until exactly 2 weeks after taking the pill ( which also happened to be the day my period was suppose to start).
ThAt morning I woke up with sore and full breasts, slight cramping, and a tiny bit of brown discharge that was present throughout the day. I had a little streak on my panty liner and I could see a clearish/brown discharge when I would wipe. The brown discharge was on and off for 2 and a half days. It has now been 4 days since I should've started my period and I'm constipated, , my boobs still feel hard and full, I'm tired, not feeling motivated and hungry for junk food.
If I don't start my period in a couple more days I'm gonna to take a pregnancy test just to make sure.
Has anyone else had any of the same symptoms as I've had? I've done so much research online and most girls have some sort of symptoms, bleeding and/or discharge from a few days- a week after taking pill not 2 weeks after.
Not sure if anyone will read this but I will be back to update if pregnant or just plan b messing me up." | 1 | November 13, 2016 | 18 | 244 |
123,322 | Apri | birth control | "I have been on for 1 month and a half. My period lasted for 10 days, then I came on again in the same month for another 10 days. That was all new to me. Sex drive has increased. My period is still irregular so I'm waiting on my next period. Slight headaches and I feel sick sometimes. This is my first birth control and I haven't been on it long. Things may change. Not sure." | 4 | July 4, 2012 | 4 | 76 |
210,869 | Mirtazapine | anxiety | "I began taking this medicine about 1 year ago. I started on 15 mg, then upped to 30 then upped to 45. At first I felt better, kind of a happy optimistic feeling and then it kinda quit working so we went up to 30 mg which Is almost too much for me it would knock me out for 10 hours (I always take it right before bed) and I went back to the doctor and he said to just take more so I was put on the 45 mg tabs. I absolutely can not take a whole 45 mg tab I always wake up 11-12 hours later. If I have to get up early I am so fatigued in the morning so what I do is break a 45 mg one in half and I'm actually taking 22.5 mg now, any more is too sedating. It works very well for my insomnia but as far as my anxiety and depression it doesnt seem to work" | 5 | September 5, 2015 | 23 | 166 |
164,507 | Diclofenac | period pain | "I usually have REALLY bad period pain, and it was becoming a real problem to deal with, particularly at school. I tried several other medicines, like paracetemol, but they weren't very effective, even after taking 3 within a few hours of each other. I tried 1 x 50mg diclofenac tablet, and after about an hour, all my pain was gone. It's been about 4 hours now, and I'm still 100% pain-free." | 9 | August 21, 2012 | 27 | 71 |
217,068 | Oxcarbazepine | bipolar disorde | "Would be helpful if reviewers included dose; I'm at 600mg (300 twice a day) and this has worked 'like magic' to slow me down. I used to feel nearly constantly anxious, irritable and visual and auditory input would overwhelmed me. Certain people's voices felt like my ears were being poked; eye contact was overwhelming, like I was receiving too much input. Certain smells were like an 'instant headache'. Trileptal regulated my sleep cycle first, which was always a huge issue - now it's 10:00 PM to 5:30 AM almost the same every night with none of the previous wake-ups and morning exhaustion. I am one of the ones who has the 'low sodium' side effect but what a great side effect - I get to eat more salt. And my blood pressure is lower." | 10 | June 10, 2013 | 99 | 134 |
130,488 | Levonorgestrel | emergency contraception | "I love this pill. After unprotected sex, the next morning I called Walmart's pharmacy to ask if they had any Plan B One Step in stock she said they did so I went down there and bought it. I took it exactly 9 hours afterwards." | 10 | November 12, 2012 | 11 | 45 |
164,288 | Saccharomyces boulardii lyo | diarrhea | "I had to take this after I got C-Diff from all of the antibiotics the doctors had me on. It worked great. I am a nurse and have known several people that have been put on this after getting C-Diff and they have been very pleased with the results also. My wife has started to take it because she has many stomach problems and it is helping her." | 9 | May 4, 2010 | 183 | 68 |
25,756 | Ethinyl estradiol / norelgestromin | birth control | "I've been on the patch for 3 weeks and so far, my breasts have gotten MUCH bigger. They are very tender though, and I have also gained weight. I really thought I was pregnant because I can't stop eating and seem to have all the signs of pregnancy. But all my tests are negative. After reading reviews I guess my side affects are common. I can't decide if I want to get off of it because of the weight in gaining though. My boyfriend even said I looked pregnant!" | 6 | January 28, 2015 | 3 | 89 |
