139,404 | Armodafinil | chronic fatigue syndrome | "I have had 4 back surgeries ( pins, screws, plates, etc.) and both of my hips replaced, all before turning 43. Before this, I earned a Ph.D., became a Prof. in Accounting was rewarded multitudes of student-awarded, colleague-awarded, and superiors-rewarded accollades. Then, with all the narcotics, opiods, hospitalizations, etc, tenure was literally jerked from my grasp, and I have been forced out of three other universities since. The depression of repeated recoveries from surgery and then med withdrawals and job losses drove me into extreme depression. Got the pain under control but it got to where I was in bed 6 of 7 days full-time. I was taking Cymbalta, but when my Dr. tried Nuvigil, it brought me back to the happiness I had known before." | 10 | March 8, 2013 | 66 | 126 |
137,711 | Enbrel | rheumatoid arthritis | "I began taking Enbrel in 2008 for severe RA after a year of trying a series of other drugs. I lforgot I had RA. Last Nov. I stopped taking it because I had to be on chemo. Things were fine until April when I went into a full blown flare. Extreme morning stiffness lasted 6 hours or more. My thumbs were virtually useless. I hobbled like I was 95 years old with excruciating pain in my feet, knees, hips and neck. I took morphine which did little to suppress the pain. After consulting with my oncologist and rheumatologist I took my first injection of Enbrel in June - expecting it to take another month or longer to stop the flare. I felt much relief 2 days later. Now I'm almost back to normal." | 9 | August 20, 2016 | 36 | 133 |
66,201 | Valacyclovir | cold sores | "I had suffered through many cold sores, and spent tons of money on abreva. When my doctor prescribed me valtrex I was finally satisfied because within the first tingling feeling , and me taking valtrex most times the cold sore just disappears. I can take valtrex at the first symptom , and it's no longer an issue. Most times not even my boyfriend will see the bump , and I have to point it out. I love valtrex, and am extremely happy with my results." | 9 | October 31, 2016 | 26 | 85 |
161,022 | Risperidone | schizophrenia | "I am currently on 6mg of Risperdal and thinking about going up to 8mg. It has helped me control my impulses and stay on the right path. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia without paranoid thoughts. The paranoid thoughts only happen with street drugs. I still hear voices, but I seem to be managing them a lot better now. Both Halodol and Risperdal work extremely well for schizophrenia." | 10 | July 7, 2015 | 21 | 67 |
205,250 | Acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine | migraine | "I'm actually 18 and I get migraines all the time. I loved it when I first started using it because it'll work in like 10 minutes. I'm weird because I'd get a dizzy feeling when I first took it but it wasn't bad. Now lately it hasn't been doing anything. I was really looking forward to taking Excedrin every time I had pain but I'll still continue using it to see if there still will be any progress. Huh, I actually started thinking my migraines are just too strong for excedrin.." | 5 | December 6, 2015 | 2 | 91 |
110,143 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I went with the Nexplanon when I was bout 10 weeks post partum because it is one of the few birth controls that are safe while breastfeeding and I had the Implanon for the full 3 years prior to being pregnant and loved it. Well I hate the Nexplanon... ever since I got it put in my arm I have been gaining weight and haven't been able to lose it no matter what I do, my acne has never been worse, my anxiety has never been higher and the mood swings are terrible. I will not recommend this to anyone anymore. I have called and its scheduled to be removed next week." | 3 | April 7, 2016 | 1 | 112 |
210,011 | Linzess | constipation, chronic | "There isn't a dosage level low enough for me to tolerate. I have horrible chronic constipation, and Linzess works well to guarantee waste is evacuated . But regardless of how much I tried to ensure I was getting a low dosage, Linzess always causes projectile diarrhea (if that's a thing - but you get the idea). Bottom line, it acts as a laxative to me. But does not evacuate those hard rabbit pellets magnesium citrate laxatives get." | 5 | October 1, 2017 | 8 | 77 |
30,234 | Klonopin | anxiety | "This is the only medicine that has really taken my generalized anxiety disorder away with so many less side effects. I've had GAD just about all my life and am now 36. I have tried Celexa, Lexepro, Zoloft, Cymblata, Effexor, Wellbutrin, Buspar and find most of them are too stimulating or make me so tired with no ambition, or feel like I'm going crazy. I would self medicate and made my life even worse. I have been on Paxil on and off trying to get something that would work but the Paxil is the best for me for anxiety but I lost all my ambition, creativity, interest in just about everything. I would get so tired it's crazy. I would lose my sex drive. " | 9 | January 25, 2013 | 52 | 125 |
125,041 | Dulcolax | constipation | "Hi I'm a 33 year old female with endometriosis and full hysterectomy and no gallbladder. I took it last night at about 9pm and had my first bm at 5 am. I was able to go back to sleep after. Some cramping but nothing I can't handle. No worse than child birth or endometriosis pain. Plus much rather be empty and not all backed up with poo you know. I have been going to the bathroom all day but it is no longer uncomfortable, it is just liquid. Just staying at home and hanging out at the pool and staying hydrated. And I feel much more relief than I did yesterday. My bm are further and further apart as the day goes on and I get closer to the 24 hour mark." | 10 | July 2, 2017 | 8 | 132 |
177,036 | Promethazine | nausea/vomiting | "I suffered from Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome; similar to an abdominal migraine. Gastroenterologist prescribed Phenergan suppositories as a prophylaxis. It prevented the onset of the nausea and vomiting. Just knowing it is it my refrigerator should I need it has stopped the cycle. " | 10 | August 25, 2010 | 24 | 43 |
76,153 | Portia | birth control | "I have been on Portia for a couple months now, and I noticed I've been super depressed and overly tired, I went to a good 7/8 hours of sleep and now sleep for 10/11 a night and still feel the need to nap in the evenings. I also suddenly became uninterested in studying and lazy, I've also been vomiting out of nowhere and not sure if it's because of the pill. I've taken a few pregnancy tests and they are negative, plus my boyfriend is always away in camp so it's already a low risk of me getting pregnant anyways." | 4 | October 17, 2013 | 7 | 100 |
129 | Medroxyprogesterone | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I was bleeding large clots nonstop for 3 months. I kept going to the ER and they did nothing. The last time I went my RBC count was so low I had to have 2 blood transfusions along with surgery. I was given Provera to take. I have been taking it now for 5 days and the blood is completely gone. I am just worried it will come back when the pills are gone." | 10 | December 11, 2015 | 27 | 74 |
168,718 | Vilazodone | depression | "Got a "starter pack" from my doctor and after day 10 (20 mg), %u2014 on advice of my doctor %u2014 I cut a 20 mg tablet in half for my day 11 dose. I have had TERRIBLE side effects and most definitely want to discontinue this drug." | 1 | October 2, 2015 | 13 | 47 |
63,813 | Sertraline | anxiety and stress | "Sertraline is the best thing to help anxiety I’ve suffered for 10 years without knowing I had anxiety I would buy all different kind of over the counter medication and Herman remedy’s and nothing worked thought I had IBS I didn’t, then I thought I had a brain tumour with all headaches and I didn’t. My anxiety and stress made me worry more about my health until I went doctors they prescribed sertraline. I’ve only been taking them a month and while the first 2 weeks was horrible while they got into my system I feel the best I’ve ever felt. I have more energy, less headaches, minimal worry about every day things. Sertraline is fantastic. I’m on 100mg and feel great. If anyone who has anxiety I strongly recommend that that try this medication" | 9 | October 8, 2017 | 20 | 135 |
17,533 | Ethinyl estradiol / etonogestrel | birth control | "I started the nuvaring almost a month ago and a week in I was very emotional. My boyfriend told me he noticed I acting different and I actually had a break down one night. Lucky for me he also helped me realize it was my bc. I was hoping it would increase my sex drive but it's the same." | 6 | July 16, 2016 | 3 | 59 |
223,468 | Epclusa | hepatitis c | "I started my treatment 11weeks+2 Day's ago, now I've only 5 days to go and my experience of the treatment using epclusa tablets (1 daily) has been fine, Now don't get me wrong I've suffered diarrhoea and tiredness but only had a few days of it, I think that the price of epclusa treatment is surprisingly excessive at 25 thousand pound for only 28 tablets" | 10 | June 14, 2017 | 17 | 65 |
199,624 | Zonegran | seizures | "Zonegran unlike Keppra and other seizure medicines give you a natural feeling closer to a normal feeling. Some seizures still slip by for me but only when it's closer to my menstrual cycle or ovulation time, my seizures seem to be directly linked to fluctionations in my womanly cycles other than that this medicine has been the best one for me and has been a great relief to me." | 9 | April 17, 2014 | 55 | 69 |
58,474 | Jolivette | birth control | "First I'd like to say that different meds are for different people so just because you have a bad experience doesn't mean it's not the perfect med for the next person.
Personally, I love Jolivette, it has done wonders for my depression ... Great non estrogen birth control pills for me. I will say that the lack of periods is odd but I feel better than ever." | 10 | July 10, 2017 | 6 | 67 |
202,159 | Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin | acne | "Onexton is absolutely amazing! Have been using now for about 3-4 months. I apply it every night after removing my make up and washing my face thoroughly with CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser. I was worried about facial skin peeling/redness that I experienced with other prescription topical medications that I had tried in the past for acne (Ex. tretinoin, benzaclin, etc.) I have not had any redness or peeling since starting Onexton. My face is pretty much clear (exceptionally noticeable difference compared to 4 months ago). I also take Spironolactone 100mg daily for acne which was started at the same time as the Onexton. For the first time in YEARS, my face is mostly clear without any redness or peeling. $0 copay with savings card!" | 10 | May 21, 2015 | 20 | 124 |
91,283 | Botox | migraine prevention | "I'm very grateful the FDA approved this! I've suffered with debilitating migraines for 25 years now and have tried every medication prescribed and OTC, unfortunately the only thing that would take away the pain are narcotics. Since using Botox treatments my migraines are under control and down to approximately 4-5 a month compared to 20-25. I feel as though I have a life again and not living hour to hour, not having a life in fear of having a migraine. Also VERY grateful to have good insurance that pays for this." | 10 | December 28, 2011 | 94 | 91 |
210,449 | Linzess | irritable bowel syndrome | "I have suffered from Irritable Bowel Syndrome for a while now and it seemed that no matter what I took it never helped. I would say this pill works a little too well. I take it and exactly 2 hours later I'm rushing to the toilet. I only take it once a week because the day I do take it, I'm on the toilet. I can't stress enough that plan a day near the toilet! Makes me feel 100x better though." | 10 | June 30, 2013 | 36 | 81 |
224,983 | Bupropion | sexual dysfunction, ssri induced | "I am concerned, I see people claiming a side effect of Wellbutrin as an increase in sex drive and a magical increase in orgasms. There is not a single clinical trial that says it increases sex drive. It has been proven to decrease sexual ability. So I wonder who all the people posting on this site are, that claim a magical increase in not only sex drive but also multiple orgasms???? for giggles lets say it does increase multiple orgasms . That would be a very very small percentage of people, yet on this site, it is the majority of posts .....That I find to be not credible and question the validity of this site." | 5 | August 6, 2016 | 66 | 115 |
136,582 | Byetta | diabetes, type 2 | "I started with Byetta Sept. 2012 and used until March 2013. A1C went from 7.5 to 6.1 and my morning fasting # went from 160s to 90s. I lost approx. 60 lbs. The main complaint was being sick to my stomach. It wasn't so much of a problem on the 5 but really bad on the 10. I had planned to just tough it out because the results were so good, but I mentioned it to my endocrinologist and she switched me to the once-a-week Bydureon. (Same drug but a slow release) Totally cleared up the side effects." | 9 | November 3, 2013 | 68 | 98 |
178,212 | Duloxetine | pain | "I have been using cymbalta for about 6 months now, I have severe leg pain caused by compartment syndrome and chronic low back pain and my md has me on cymbalta and lyrica for this pain and it has kept it under control, I still have to take percocet a few times a day but my pain is better with cymbalta and my depression has even gotten a lot better. Two birds with one stone type of deal." | 8 | June 12, 2010 | 48 | 78 |
209,459 | Taltz | plaque psoriasis | "I have battled psoriasis for 15 yrs trying nearly every topical & biologic treatment available. The only drug that ever provided me with 100% clear skin was Stelara, but unfortunately it stopped working after 3 years. I have been on Taltz for about 5 months. After my first two injections I experienced a reduction in plaques & itching and that progress remained while I was on the bi-weekly injections although I never cleared up by more than about 40%. As soon as I finished the bi-weekly loading period & had to wait a month in between injections my skin immediately reverted to the level of severity experienced prior to beginning Taltz. No negative side effects but this injection hurts more than Stelara, Humira, Cosyntex, & Enbrel." | 2 | July 13, 2017 | 2 | 126 |
49,840 | Gabapentin | anxiety | "This pill is AMAZING!!!... I took gabapentin today for the 1st time I honestly am not a pill person I take a pain relief pill once in a blue for a headache so I honestly had no idea it even existed much less what it did how it made you feel etc. but I awoke just as depressed as I fell asleep so I took a look at the bottle & said what they hay, an hour later I felt like a million bucks I was back to my old self talking & smiling being productive no stress & anxiety just cool calm & collected So much so my bff made the comment it's great to have you back where have you been girl...." | 10 | June 14, 2016 | 105 | 124 |
211,573 | Tanzeum | diabetes, type 2 | "Previously on Bydueron, which worked really well! Unfortunately, my insurance stopped covering it. Tried Trulicity..made me sick. Started Tanzeum in April 2016, and my numbers have gotten worse, I've gained 15 lbs and it's making feel down. I will be asking my doctor to put me back on Bydureon and hopefully the insurance will cover." | 1 | September 28, 2016 | 3 | 55 |
137,933 | Ortho Evra | birth control | "I switched from the pill because I was having trouble taking it at the same time every day. I loved the patch and how convenient it was. I wore it for two years and I will admit my boobs grew a cup size and I gained about 10 lbs over time but my bf likes a little chubb so it was fine, lol. I NEVER had nausea problems (kinda shocked by some reviews here). I'll admit I would have PMS-like mood swings each time I changed the patch but I never had shakes or sweating. I actually really love this birth control and rarely notice side effects. My periods became lighter (I had heavy bleeding pain before the patch), it lasted 3 days and was on a regular schedule. I highly recommend" | 9 | March 9, 2017 | 9 | 132 |
26,574 | Sprintec | birth control | "I am going now on my 2nd yr using this, and it's great, my sex drive is great probably got better too, I did not experience much weight gain that isn't normal. I did experience mood swings especially when I would have my periods I guess in that sense it was a bit bad I'd cry or get mad VERY easily and I did experience cramping during my cycle. All in all I do not mind it at all it is good for what it is for because I am not pregnant. I did take my pill 18 hrs late almost a whole other day but I was still fine. This worked great for me I am 5'1". I weighed 118 when I started now I weigh 130lbs. Considering it's been two years I don't think it's bad perhaps because my hips got a little wider, but nothing out of the ordinary." | 8 | June 13, 2013 | 11 | 152 |
109,093 | Nexplanon | birth control | "My two friends got the Nexplanon implant one month before I did, and they had no complaints so I decided to get it as well (Jan 17), now it is April 17 and I could not be happier with it. The three of us (all 20 years old) all got our periods once (which were slightly heavier than usual) and since then our periods have disappeared!!! We have had no side effects, cramping, or depression which we experienced while on the pill. I have recommended this to so many friends- not having your period is amazing." | 10 | April 25, 2017 | 10 | 96 |
41,063 | Acetaminophen / oxycodone | pain | "I had endoscopic sinus surgery and took 80 pills in the first two weeks. The pharmacist made me feel like an addict, and made me so mad! Now my pain is reducing a lot, it has been three weeks since surgery and I use only one pill to make it through my work day. I have no side effects and do not want to get addicted, but it really helps A LOT with pain control and lets me function instead of cry and whine." | 9 | July 24, 2014 | 29 | 84 |
172,435 | Clonazepam | sleep paralysis | "I have not had sleep paralysis in over 12 years. Had HORRYIFYING sleep paralysis multiple times nightly and hypnogogic hallucinations.
ALL GONE thanks to .50 mg clonazepam before bed. It's been miraculous no longer afraid to fall asleep at night" | 10 | July 29, 2016 | 10 | 40 |
6,008 | Flecainide | atrial fibrillation | "I started on Flecainide in 2009. Started with 50mg twice a day. Atrial fibrillation episodes continued but when I stepped it up to 100mg twice a day, episodes kept at bay. Only problem is when I forgot a dose, then episodes happen and real bad rhythms to boot. Got to be on time each day with dosage, or else not protected. No side effects at all!" | 9 | March 6, 2012 | 84 | 66 |
117,832 | Effient | acute coronary syndrome | "Out of the clear blue on April 1st 2013 I woke-up feeling very tiered and having chest pain. I went to the hospital and found I was having a heart attack. I now have five stents in my heart. I have been taking Effient with little side effects. How ever I have gained 40lbs in the last 5 months. has anyone else had this problem?" | 7 | November 8, 2013 | 23 | 65 |
92,425 | Ondansetron | nausea/vomiting | "First time I took it I felt better almost instantly- it was truly crazy! The second time was the same but the third time it didn't help as much. However, it helped some and has so far kept me a little less feeling like I'm gonna puke. Better than nothing." | 8 | April 27, 2017 | 2 | 50 |
217,263 | Clarithromycin | pneumonia | "I've am on 500mg twice a day for pnumonia which I have had twice before..feeling much better after day 2 although energy levels still pretty low..side effects are grumbling,painful stomach ache and a horrible taste in your mouth plus I go dizzy at times and forget things.." | 8 | July 3, 2016 | 14 | 47 |
137,422 | Isotretinoin | acne | "I am on my 18th day and have noticed DRAMATIC results. I have gotten many compliments. My skin is very dry though and I do have very chapped lips but the redness of my skin has gone away and I barely breakout anymore. My acne was pretty severe. I had tried everything (antibiotics, creams, gels, chemical peels, facials, etc.) I was very nervous about getting on this but I love it and recommend it to everyone." | 10 | September 19, 2010 | 10 | 76 |
125,072 | Dulcolax | constipation | "I have been dealing with degenerative disc disease (not really a disease) was told after I had to go to the chiropractor since on Wednesday I couldn't hardly walk. Well not being having to have a bm came with that back pain I could only pee nothing else.. well come Friday still in back pain going to the chiropractor he tells to try a laxative (oh I couldn't even feel that's how bad it was) anyways I pick this up with gas x, I take 2 gas x and 2 of these have something to eat even though I wasn't hungry and about an hour I have to go finally and easy! Hours later I have something to eat again and then diarrhea came (after having tums and going "normal" bm) but no cramping or any bad pains! Would definitely take again if it got as bad as it" | 8 | August 26, 2017 | 9 | 149 |
182,947 | Cymbalta | chronic pain | "I took Cymbalta for 9 month during that time was also taking Oxycontin and Vicadine. I still had pain and the Cambalta raised my cholesterol 50 points, it also raised my blood pressure the Doctor didn't seemed to be concerned with symptoms. which concern me due to the fact that I had heart disease about 10 years prior to taking Cymbalta ahead 3 stents inserted into my arteries of my heart. I had heart disease at a young age of age 37. The two doctors I was seen at the time didn't believe that cymbalta was raising my cholesterol. I had to do my own research on the internet to find evidence that Cymbalta does raise cholesterol. The manufacturer of Cymbalta indicated that the raising cholesterol was a rare side effect." | 2 | June 24, 2015 | 54 | 131 |
150,672 | Sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim | acne | "I started to have acne since I was 12-13, it was really bad at that time for about a year then gone.Then just 6 months ago ( i'm now 22) my acne came back and keep getting worst and worst. I tried over the counter cream, micro demabrasion, doxycycline, all types of topical antibiotics. Nothing works :( then i went to my dematologist and was getting ready to go on accutance but then she told me that i should have try bactrim ds + epiduo first, for 3 months and see how they go. And they work out greatttt. I don't have any new break out at all after about a month on those pills. Now it just some red marks left and that will be faded soon if i keep using the epiduo. Try these combo, not epiduo by itself, it only works great with the bactrim." | 10 | March 5, 2015 | 4 | 148 |
160,724 | Buspirone | anxiety | "I got put on Buspirone to treat my Social Anxiety Disorder which included several panic attacks in embarrassing social situations and must say that it has generally helped out with my problem. I am on 10mgs three times a day, and despite the side effects which include dizziness and intense light-hededness, I must say the only problem I have with this medicine is the potential to over use it. I find myself needing to take more than I'm supposed to daily, perhaps need to talk to my doctor about a dosage increase. Overall though very helpful." | 8 | March 18, 2012 | 5 | 96 |
115,954 | Divalproex sodium | bipolar disorde | "I was prescribed 250 mg, but to take three times a day (every 8 hours). I don't think that's really too high. Perhaps it's because I was on such high doses of other things in my past--who knows. So, to me, my body is used to truly high doses of such medicines. Either way, 250mg of Depakote DR is the lowest you can be given, and that will only carry you through part of the day. This is why the doctor has to make you take it three times a day.
I haven't had practically any side effects, except for a little "wet noodly" feeling, but none of the side effects (yet) that are listed. Guess it's different for everyone." | 8 | August 14, 2010 | 25 | 120 |
151,614 | Chantix | smoking cessation | "at 47 years old I had a heart attack and had to quit smoking. Dr prescribed Chantix. I had never heard of it before then. After 12 days and after carefully following instructions, I had quit smoking. Not only had I quit a 2 pack a day habit, it was as though I had never smoked in my life. No after dinner cravings, no stuck in traffic lighting up, nothing. Side affects were minimal for me. Some odd dreams, but no nightmares. Went to a baseball game with the Flintstones. That sort of thing. It's toally worth a shot. May not work for everybody, but everybody who smokes and wants to quit should give Chantix a shot. If it doesn't work for you, then do what my wife, who felt she should quit so she don't smoke near me, did. Cold turkey!" | 10 | July 7, 2015 | 17 | 142 |
108,216 | Bupropion / naltrexone | obesity | "I can't rave enough about this drug! Sure people say they got nauseated when they started it. Of course there are side effects! They go away! I had mild nausea for about a week. After that it was gone! I started contrave at the end of March 2015 and now as I approach the end of August 2015, I am down 27lbs! I've gone down 3-4 pants sizes! I'm sad to say (but also happy) that I haven't even worked out! I was on Effexor for depression before starting contrave and then stopped it because of the Wellbutrin. I was worried about it, but ends up.. The Wellbutrin is 10xs better! I'm happier, have more energy, and my over all outlook on life is so much better! I tell all my friends about it and I think it is worth it to try it!!" | 10 | August 21, 2015 | 39 | 144 |
200,657 | Varenicline | smoking cessation | "I have been smoking for 20 years now and a few years ago I quit cold turkey, but a couple of years ago I was under a lot of stress and started back smoking. I was only smoking 1 pack a day and my kids wanted me to quit again so I asked my doctor and she put me on Chantix and I am on Day 5 morning pill. The past few days I have had real bad headaches and insomnia to the point I can't fall asleep until 4 or 5 in the morning. And I also have noticed that I have been getting agitated with my husband and kids more than I used to." | 2 | October 21, 2011 | 4 | 116 |
46,054 | Phendimetrazine | obesity | "Better concentration, increased motivation and mobility, eliminated food cravings, faster acting digestion and fluid loss, increased thirst, increased weight loss and inches, moderate increase in blood pressure, increase in overall physical stamina, and a significant decrease in depression." | 9 | February 18, 2012 | 100 | 38 |
110,503 | Nexplanon | birth control | "So I have had the nexplanon for about 8 months now. At first I bled for about two weeks straight. Then I did not have a period for 6 months. But when I did I bled heavily for over two weeks straight. It has caused an abnormal discharge, along with skin rashes, and my hair has been falling out since I got it put in. Making it super thin. As a birth control it works. It is super effective. But in my opinion the negative side effects definitely outweigh the positive. Looking to get it taken out as soon as I can." | 3 | December 30, 2015 | 0 | 102 |
93,361 | Vortioxetine | major depressive disorde | "I've suffered from moderately severe episodes of depression and chronic anxiety for years. I have tried everything from Prozac to Cymbalta to Paxil to Remeron to Abilify. Side effects ranged from bad to intolerable. Headaches, weight gain, cognitive dulling. I almost gave up hope that anything would help. This medication has provided a lot of relief. My depression seemingly vanished. My anxiety is still there but seems a little better. Everyone's body reacts differently, but if you feel like you've tried every other SSRI starting a low dose of this might really help. It could be the placebo effect for all I know, but somehow I don't think so because of the lack of success with past meds. I'm on 5mg only. (I take it with low dose benzos)." | 9 | November 13, 2014 | 37 | 129 |
183,840 | Opium | diarrhea | "Diarrhea is a symptom of disease, not a disease by itself. It is important to treat the underlying cause (e.g., Crohn's, IBS, cancer, etc.) not just the symptoms. Opium tincture should be used only as a last resort and for a short period of time (1-2 weeks max). I have taken this medication off-and-on over the past decade, but only when everything else fails and I have to travel. It is very effective at stopping diarrhea." | 8 | March 4, 2013 | 24 | 76 |

Read that side effects kick in after a week or two so I'll keep you guys posted !" | 6 | January 17, 2017 | 0 | 122 |

I actually gained weight in a faster rate. Now I'm still taking fiber supplement but it helps only in maintaining my weight. Not anymore on losing some fat (i guess). I'm giving a try with Xenical in my hope to lose for at least 3 kgs. . Good luck to us!" | 5 | August 22, 2016 | 15 | 75 |

Just had the Skyla IUD inserted. Insertion was a breeze. Slight pinch, but no cramping as reported by other women. Took a Percocet before the appointment. I would recommend this for young women. I will make another review with any side effects. Very pleased so far." | 10 | October 26, 2015 | 0 | 70 |
116,445 | Adalimumab | ankylosing spondylitis | "I started Humira at the end of July this year and within a few days, my pain in my lower back and neck disappeared. Recently my wife picked up my prescription and left the Humira in her car for 8 hours not being refrigerated in 90 degree weather. I used the Humira and my symptoms returned. I contacted the 1-800-4Humira number and spoke with a nurse who informed me that the Humira (when left outside) was unstable and should not had been used. Lesson learned... make sure to immediately refrigerate your Humira. I am now waiting to get my next injection and am praying it works for me again." | 10 | September 22, 2012 | 41 | 109 |

I would only buy 4 because I didn't want to waste money on the whole prescription and it not work. Imitrex made me so sick!!! I had remember from the early 90's when I would get cluster headaches and the doctor put me on Midrin. Out of the blue, I asked the doctor to try this again. He didn't think it was available, but my pharmacy said they could compound it. Again I bought 4 pills, thinking I was wasting my money but desperate. Bam.... migraine stopped within 20 minutes of taking. Sometimes, it takes a second dose if I have a severe one. But, I feel it is under control now. I have fibromyalgia, the migraines are a sensory issue smells, sounds." | 10 | September 20, 2016 | 10 | 138 |
187,147 | Safyral | birth control | "I have been on Safyral for 2 months. I like it a lot so far. I have had some break through bleeding but I think that is because I started the pill in the middle of my cycle, when I had an IUD (Mirenia) removed after 4 years. My skin looks great. I get mild bloating and breast tenderness just before my period which goes away with the start of my period. Nothing majorly inconvenient. I think that after a few months of use when my hormones get back on a normal cycle things will even out." | 7 | April 16, 2011 | 8 | 97 |

I know I'll forget to take them, so this was a better option for me. But I have been on my period for almost two months. And its getting annoying. I have been extremely tired and having some mood swings. I've tried to talk to my doctor but he says its normal... I still like it, it works against pregnancy but it's a little annoying. If you can deal with bleeding for what seems like an eternity and mood swings than you'll be fine :)" | 9 | February 10, 2016 | 0 | 107 |

We started at around 600 mg/day,but gradually reduced this to 250 g/day,and then after a couple of small seizures this was upped to 300g and I now take200 g at night and 100g in the morning. My doctor says Lamictal dosage must be minimum 250 g day to be effective, with a maxi dosage possible of 1 200 g / day. We did try some Lamictal plus Keppra onthe way,but reverted tojust Lamictal and that was fine. I have had very few seizures since I started - maybe once every3 years - but recently got 2 when I went to Australia and had had a 30 hour trip. Stress and alcohol are linked to my attacks. I have very light epilepsy discovered at age 32. I am very happy with it" | 10 | February 24, 2016 | 26 | 140 |

I started with Atripla, and I'm still recovering from the extremely vivid nightmares I experienced. I switched to a couple different combinations of drugs, but I couldn't adhere to the dosing schedules. Triumeq has been a godsend. One pill a day, and no nightmares. The only side effects I've experienced are upset stomach, weakness, and headaches. I had one very bad spell where I nearly lost control of my motor functions and I fell in the bathroom and couldn't get back up for a short period of time. Otherwise, my CD count has been stable at ~800, and I've been undetectable since 2013." | 9 | May 1, 2017 | 6 | 131 |

Augmentin worked the first time, but didn't clear it up this time. Nitrofurantoin is still not taking out the complete sting. Makes me instantly drowsy- almost like a sleep aid.

99,098 | Lutera | birth control | "I have been REALLY skeptical of birth control as a whole for several years. When my cramps got to the point of being completely debilitating, however, I decided it was time to start my first trial with birth control. Through a recommendation, I started Lutera. So far, the only side effect I've experienced is minor soreness in my breasts, and they've actually gotten significantly larger- kid you not, B to a small D. No weight gain, and less of an appetite, actually. (I'm 5'2" 110 lbs.). So far, I'm happy with the pill. Fingers crossed!" | 9 | June 24, 2013 | 18 | 95 |

Depression and anxiety were severe for me. I was impatient, over reacting over every little thing, nervous to be around others and would cry for no reason. I take lexapro 20mg once a day and feel great now. The side effect I had was sleepiness, but after a couple weeks it went away. I am more happy with my life now." | 10 | August 25, 2008 | 47 | 87 |

226,381 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I really liked this birth control option when I started it, and for the first year it worked really well! After about 18 months, i started getting really bad periods, they would last between 1-2 months each and although they weren't super heavy I was still bleeding. Around the same time I started getting really bad cramps, and before the implant I had never gotten cramps in my life! I was 22 when I got it, and had had my period for about 10 years at that point. I just scheduled an appointment to have it removed, but i'm a little hesistant to do it because like it promised, I haven't gotten pregnant! still trying to decide if the bi-weekly cramps and long periods are worth it, but odds are I will resort to traditional birth control instead." | 7 | August 5, 2015 | 9 | 138 |

I have SEVERE anxiety and depression & also suffer from PTSD.... thoughts on suicide were everyday and I had to be basically babysat 24-7 to make sure I didn't do anything stupid.
I don't understand why everyone talks about the negative effects of this pill when people like ME actually need it to function and live a happy lifestyle. Since taking it, I've gained healthy weight, no longer throw up from anxiety, i have friends now, and do activities i never thought i would without having panic attacks. Its a great feeling to be able to live again. Thank you XANAX" | 10 | September 4, 2016 | 77 | 132 |
92,273 | Lyrica | generalized anxiety disorde | "The first time I used Lyrica I experienced an amazingly profound reaction; layers of depression and anxiety that had built up over several years melted away within minutes. That was years ago and I have since both weaned myself off the drug and restarted taking it again. One thing I rarely see mentioned is the terrifyingly bad withdrawal effect- missing more than one dose for me throws me into the absolute darkest pits of despair. Has anyone else experienced this? When I went off the drug the first time I felt like I had performed a miracle; so strong was the feeling that it took a long time for me to convince myself that things were bad enough to warrant going back on. It still helps, but nothing as miraculous as the first time." | 10 | October 4, 2009 | 75 | 134 |

The first month on Accutane my acne started to clear up slightly. The 2nd, 3rd, and beginning of the 4th month are the most frustrating times on this medicine. My skin started to break out a lot, and I saw no improvement. I am now on my 5th month of Accutane and my skin is perfectly clear. I have no break outs, and my skin is so smooth. I never thought I would have perfect skin, but thanks to Accutane I do. The only side effects I experienced was dry lips, so I always carry a lip moisturizer on me!

Been in bed for 8+months with horrific post withdrawal symptoms. Never had heart problems before Zyprexa! Now I have afib and sinus tachycardia, and TD, involuntary muscle spasms are so painful! People notice when I stick my tongue out, biting it hours a day, sexy. Its killing me slowly as Eli Lilly makes $12Mil a day killing! I use Melatonin for sleep, is Z even approved for sleep?

66,588 | Seroquel | schizophrenia | "This medication was given to me free at my first visit to my psychiatrist. He assured me that he hasn't heard of any adverse side effects. Well this stuff put my entire body into extreme shock. I did not drink alcohol, I don't do drugs, don't smoke, and took proper dosage as prescribed. I was rushed to the hospital on this stuff, first dose. It was like my entire body on the inside was constantly being shocked with electricity and outside I literally could not move or even sit up. My body was shaking and felt freezing and had the feeling of being bruised. Took about 6 to 8 hours to wear off. Did not take again." | 1 | May 25, 2017 | 9 | 117 |

The second time, I used a tube and a half and made sure it stayed on my head for the same time - far longer than the required 10 minutes before rinsing out, and didn't wash hair for two days. After both uses, I still felt itching, crawling. And this after going through the lice song and dance routine (washing, sterilizing everything I have ever come in contact with, passed by, looked at, breathed on, thought about, replacing combs, accessories, etc, etc, etc.). Several nits were found in my hair after this. My daughter did the same with her family. I pulled live lice from her hair last night. " | 2 | July 8, 2017 | 5 | 128 |

I have some mood swings and have had some impulsive behavior that I am not proud of. I was always very ashamed of this and was lucky that I could contain it by really white-knuckling through life. I eventually was exhausted by this and tried this medicine at the suggestion of a wonderful psychiatrist, who I am willing to recommend. Within a month I was a different person. I am calmer, steadier, and found contentment. Please get help :)." | 10 | December 31, 2016 | 89 | 139 |

so I shared my experience in November, now it's February, this means 6 month of copper iud inside.
Well until February, it was a nightmare, I was seriously thinking to get it out.
Then I decided to wait a little bit more (because I suffered a lot, did not want to give up of everything I went through), so my period came this month and it is the FIRST TIME WITHOUT THE PAIN KILLER. oh my goodness, what a beautiful feeling. It hurts of course, but I am doing everything normally without ibuprofen. I even went to train yesterday, and it was the 1st day.
What I do not like is that the period lasts much longer (for me 7 days minimum, without it was 3 days max). Anyway I decided to keep it, I hope next months will be even better. Greets" | 8 | February 10, 2016 | 1 | 145 |

I understand some of the reviews about the long term use, it's like not wanting to peel off the bandaid. The truth is that the wound under my bandaid wasn't healed. It was some what of a security for me. The security was as long as I had urges I stayed on ( one strip was the highest I ever went) I wanted sobriety in the worst way and had great responsibilities in my life that a relapse would take away. I stayed on for a little over a year and the majority of the time I was on a super slow taper- taking one away per month.

Still, it has some side effects such as dizziness, insomnia and daydreaming.

When I get home I immediately start homework and then I just chill with the family until bedtime when I'm tired. I did have insomnia but that went away within about a week. Now I sleep like a baby again and it helped me finally start working out which I have been planning to do for almost 2 months now. Also, I went from struggling to get D's to easily making A's in all classes. I recommend this medicine." | 10 | August 24, 2010 | 19 | 96 |
211,944 | Lamotrigine | bipolar disorde | "I have several people in my family who has bipolar disorder but did not like the fact that my depression and manic symptoms were results of this. While I was in the military they tried numerous medications, from clonazepam and celexa, to trazodone and effexor. Finally one of my Doctors decided to try me on lamotrigine and see how it works. I must tell you quite honestly that this is one of the best medications I have ever tried to combat my bipolar disorder. During the entire time I was being treated for this I had to deal with an injury I had during the war. The military's option was to dope me up to my eyeballs with opiates, which unsurprisingly made my mood unbelievably euphoric constantly." | 10 | January 2, 2016 | 54 | 127 |

28,547 | Lexapro | depression | "Been on this for four weeks now and have seen definite improvement in lessening of anxiety and depression. Finding the exact dosage and best time to take it seems to be both a bit tricky and the key to success. Tried 10 mg in morning and was spaced out and headachy (but not anxious nor depressed) all day. Switched to 5 mg at night, but still too slowed down in the daytime. Finally hit on 2.5 mg (1/2 a 5 mg) before bed and this seems to be perfect for me. Not overly anxious anymore, but not groggy or fatigued either. So if you are just going on this, do yourself a favor and experiment with dosage/times before deciding its not right for you." | 9 | August 22, 2011 | 36 | 124 |
154,126 | Lialda | ulcerative colitis | "I used Liada for approx 1 month after a relapse of my Ulcerative Colitis. My doctor gave me samples of it. It worked very well. I had been on sulfasalazine for many years and was happy to find something else to take since I didn't have to take as many pills with Lialda. That said, after the samples ran out I was given a prescription and when I went to fill it at the pharmacy, I was shocked to see it was going to cost me over $300 for one months supply and that was AFTER my insurance paid more than half of it. I normally have a $5.00 copay so, needless to say, I am back on sulfasalazine and dealing with flareups again. (I got a discount card from Shire so the prescription would only cost me $120 a month but that's still too much)." | 8 | January 11, 2013 | 10 | 146 |

I'm not sure why so many people seem to have a problem with it but I'm having great success. I'm actually sleeping now, and I'm not rasping all the time. I'm not even kidding it made a difference after the first dose. To be fair I was also enjoying good results with advair, but this seems more effective." | 10 | May 18, 2017 | 7 | 76 |
30,689 | Miconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "I'm 31 weeks pregnant and developed a YI. The doctor on call told me to get this stuff. Immediately after application I was filled with regret. It honestly felt like someone was taking a cheese grater to the interior and exterior of my lady parts. Why?! Seriously! I don't understand why this is okay. Does this pain occur with every application for all 7 days? I definitely can't tolerate that. I think I'm going to call the doctor tomorrow and beg for ANY other treatment that's safe during pregnancy." | 1 | August 14, 2017 | 3 | 89 |

I've enjoyed it a lot! My acne is clearer, without extreme breakouts around my period like I used to have. In fact, I now have no period symptoms and the easiest, lightest period. I've also noticed that I don't have to worry about bleaching the hair on my upper lip - a nice perk. For me, there have been no side effects at all." | 10 | September 8, 2015 | 2 | 85 |
40,355 | Savella | ibromyalgia | "Given savella by my doctor. It's a miracle medicine but start slower to avoid side effects. The titration pack is too fast. Also you should stop at the dose that takes care of your pain. I was at 25 mg 2 times a day for a long time. When my stress went up the pain came back so my doctor increased me to the usual dose of 50 mg 2 times a day. Pain is gone! There are coupons on line. I had sweats as the only side effect that went away. I'll take that over the pain any day!" | 10 | June 9, 2012 | 52 | 100 |

The process was quick but the pain was unbearable after. I've always had bad cramps and heavy bleeding but now all of that has tapered off since I've had it so long. I haven't had a period in about a month but I can say the only thing I don't like is the heavy discharge. I'm 23 with one child and an IUD was my only choice due to health reasons. Good luck to you all ladies!" | 9 | July 4, 2016 | 4 | 103 |
6,862 | Aluminum chloride hexahydrate | hyperhidrosis | "I began sweating as soon as I started college- probably from the mass amount of stress I'm always under. Any who, this product is amazing. I literally would be sitting in a normal temperature room and sweat would just be streaming from my arm pits down the sides of my body. I started using this and from day 1, absolutely no sweat. Not even at the gym. It does sting a little bit, but as far as I'm concerned, a little bit of stinging far outweighs the low self confidence, paranoia, and constant clamminess of my body. I 100% recommend this product to anyone." | 10 | March 17, 2017 | 21 | 104 |
186,933 | Benzaclin | acne | "I started Benzaclin a little over a week now, on November 9th 2016. My face was covered in little acne bumps that gave my skin an awful skin texture and when I wore foundation you could see just how bad it was, especially in the light. I also had hormonal acne on my chin and a little bit on my jaw line. The tiny bumps on my skin are already mostly gone, the skin texture is so smooth and soft, my face is obviously really dry from this but its not uncontrollably dry. I just use a really good moisturizer during the day. With this week being very busy for me with school I haven't been eating my usual healthy diet and I still haven't been breaking out as I normally do if I eat poorly. This stuff is amazing and I'm seeing great results." | 10 | November 18, 2016 | 13 | 145 |
174,526 | Abreva | herpes simplex | "This product saves me all the time, if any one has issues they should be sure to consider how to maintain your lip on the path of healing.
Examples: DO NOT LICK LIPS, it is such a terrible way to spread to the other parts of your lips and also the inside. I also advise to make sure you put chap-stick to moisten the rest of your lips but not including the infected area because you will spread it.
Best advise I can give you is apply Abreva as soon as you feel even the slightest bump. It helps it prevent it and quicken the process. Make sure you use a Q-tip because I think the best way to cure a cold sore is being very clean with it and fast to cure.
Abreva is probably best in the market and the first to consider." | 10 | February 17, 2017 | 12 | 145 |
93,418 | Vortioxetine | depression | "Update: Now 2 months in, and feeling better than I have in 10 yrs. I am now on 20mg. I feel really calm, like I can breathe again. On 10mg it took less effort to hold off the anxiety/panic attacks. At 20mg I don't have the background anxiety at all, and no panic attacks (vs one every 2-3 days). I no longer have insomnia. I'm optimistic and becoming more actively interested in life. I smile a lot more and socialize. No jitters or side effects. No mania or agitation. Thinking clearer, feeling great, thinking about working in the future, and reconsidering my decision to not have children due to mental health issues." | 10 | March 25, 2015 | 60 | 112 |
