22,667 | Lidocaine | pain | "My 88-year-old mother uses lidocaine 5% patches for her sciatica pain. The patches by Mylan are useless. As others have stated, they are plastic and do not stay in place. They bunch up and fall off with one to two hours of applying. She used to get another brand which was flexible and stayed in place. Insurance covers most of the cost of these patches, but I would not recommend them even if Mylan paid you to use them." | 1 | July 12, 2017 | 5 | 79 |
173,723 | Brexpiprazole | major depressive disorde | "I have been on this medicine for two weeks now an have already notice a difference. I have been able to sleep all night, not cry as much. My outlook on life is starting to look better. I take this along with Wellbutrin. *****Please make this affordable for everyone*****" | 8 | December 4, 2015 | 75 | 49 |
21,301 | Sunitinib | renal cell carcinoma | "On Sutent for 9 months and was extremely fatigued but minimally nauseous. Doctor guesstimate is an additional 9 months. Original diagnosis was clear cell cancer and removed right kidney. Annual exam revealed it metastisized to left adrenal gland. Pet scan reveals some tumors have disappeared and remaining ones are shrinking. No new tumors seem to have appeared. My quality of life has not seemed to have decreased and I feel blessed everyday that Sutent therapy is working for me." | 10 | June 9, 2012 | 92 | 79 |
25,088 | Hylan g-f 20 | osteoarthritis | "Initially had Synvisc-One injected into my knee, with only slight benefit (scale of 1-10, improvement to a 4 at best).
Several months later had knees treated with the 3 injection Synvisc and it was a Godsend, on a 10 point scale the improvement has been as high as a 9! 3 months have passed and some minor pain has returned, but still maintaining a 7 on a 10 point scale." | 10 | August 19, 2016 | 22 | 70 |
888 | Pentosan polysulfate sodium | interstitial cystitis | "Well it being the only medicine from my problem I felt better after 2 weeks of taking it. I had Interstital Cystitis for 10 years. I thought it was a urinary tract infection and took too many antibiotics. Sadly the pain came back every time. I have no side effects from Elmiron it helps me a lot, also no weight gain or swelling." | 10 | October 20, 2011 | 50 | 63 |
175,939 | Levaquin | kidney infections | "I was put on Levaquin due to a nasty kidney infection that was found (finally) after I went to the ER because of severe seizures. I have epilepsy, Pallindromic arthritis, and Lupus. After reading this information. My husband picked up the script for me and he was told that these needed to be taken at the same time. Now I am bothered because the side effects of this drug are very much like what I live with daily (joint pain, rashes, seizures, insomnia, etc). I am wondering if this drug is really a good fit for me? But my kidney is GRATEFUL." | 9 | July 12, 2009 | 32 | 102 |
12,493 | Ortho Micronor | birth control | "So I have been taking this for about 5 days now and I felt compelled to write a review. I have taken tons of different birth control methods consisting of both hormones of estrogen and progestin. I am pleased to say that so far this has been working well for me. I think it is worth a shot to try but as you know every woman is different. I am still thinking this is too good to be true, but it has been a blessing so far to not wake up dizzy, fatigued, headaches, or nausea. The only things I have noticed so far are some bloating, light spotting, very little fatigue (nothing compared to other birth controls), and a slight stomach cramp before my alarm goes off to take the pill (perhaps when its almost run out?). Worth a try." | 8 | August 11, 2015 | 14 | 141 |
88,270 | Adderall | 6</span> users found this comment helpful. | "I personally didn't like the way I felt when I decided to take more before the scheduled time to take it. I was very agitated couldn't sleep for 3 days even though I felt tired and wanted to sleep do not do more than recommended dosage." | 8 | September 20, 2016 | 6 | 46 |
123,937 | Skyla | birth control | "I just got my skyla in. Now I'm a 15 year old girl. It hurt getting put in. But the side effects of constant nausea and cramping is the worst. But my mom said it'll get better, just give it time. I need tips for how to get rid of the cramping because I'm having trouble sleeping now and nothing is working." | 10 | August 23, 2016 | 0 | 62 |
231,499 | Trazodone | insomnia | "I began taking Trazadone to help with insomnia about two months ago. The first time I took 25mg (cut the 50mg pill in half) and it worked getting me to sleep, but left me groggy the next day. The next time I tried 12.5mg by cutting the 25mg section in half and that amount helps me get to sleep and leaves me feeling normal in the morning. I was suffering from a bad bout of 2 months of insomnia. Trazadone saved me!" | 9 | April 27, 2016 | 59 | 82 |
37,074 | Librium | anxiety | "I've tried several medications for moderate anxiety and panic attacks. Librium has worked the most reliably. Xanax and Ativan work quickly but are too short acting. Klonopin didn't do much for me. Librium starts to take effect within about a half hour, makes me calm (not high) and keeps me calm for hours." | 10 | September 23, 2011 | 63 | 53 |
105,235 | Carbamazepine | epilepsy | "Been on Carbamazepine for 2 years now, worked up to 800mg a day. I take it with lamotrogine.
Started experiencing seizures and was hospitalised and sedated because of them. I still have one a week so not controlled but gettin there with finding the right mix of meds! My side effects were tiredness and everytime I increased was major dizziness and sickness that lasted for hours after I took the pill." | 8 | April 7, 2015 | 6 | 71 |
201,215 | Zoloft | post traumatic stress disorde | "I was prescribed this med last spring (over a year ago), I am professionally diagnosed with PTSD, OCD, depression, ovary issues and severe anxiety attacks.. these were diagnosed PRIOR to being on Zoloft. It helps me feel less in need of doing things NOW with my OCD "rituals", my ovary issues are getting better, it does also help with social anxiety for me.
I'd like to say and point out, I heard of a lawsuit going on with Pfizer on this med and I'm very upset on that. First off, if your going to become pregnant, ANY doctor should tell you not to be on anything except for prenatal vitamins. It's the doctors getting the money for prescribing the meds, don't let that fool you. If you are nursing, pregnant or want to have a baby, do without!" | 10 | August 16, 2016 | 12 | 138 |
116,636 | Lamictal | epilepsy | "Best medicine out there! I've had seizure for 7 years now and used to have them every other day and sometimes a couple in a row to. And about 2 years ago I got put on this medication and has stopped my seizures! I've tried 5 or 6 different medications and this one is the only one that actually worked great! Anyone reading this give it a try because it works!!" | 10 | November 15, 2017 | 1 | 71 |
105,221 | Carbamazepine | epilepsy | "A pharmacy replace Carbamzapine with Epitol it did NOT control my seizures, I was fearful of going out for my seizures were not controlled.
I got my Carbamzapine and back on it my seizures are controlled totally.
It is an ineffective drug." | 2 | September 23, 2015 | 4 | 42 |
206,311 | Mesalamine | ulcerative colitis | "I took Apriso for a year and it was successful in treating my ulcerative colitis. I was then switched to Asacol HD. My prescription plan eventually decided Asacol HD was too expensive and I was put back on Apriso. This second course on Apriso was not successful. It did nothing to alleviate my Ulcerative Colitis symptoms, and produced a number of unpleasant side affects - the worst of which was moderate-to-severe stomach cramps around the clock - even waking me from sound sleep. Coupled with an incredibly dry mouth that invited multiple canker sores to erupt in my mouth, these symptoms made eating anything very unpleasant; I lost 15 lbs in the three weeks I was on the Apriso. As soon as I stopped taking it, the cramping and canker sores disappeared." | 1 | October 24, 2014 | 17 | 132 |
106,214 | Oxymetazoline | nasal congestion | "Picture this. You have a new bottle of Afrin in the medicine cabinet. It's 2:00 AM and you have a stuffy nose. You wake up and go open the Afrin package to find that it is VERY tightly sealed. So, you use some nearby scissors to cut the tape and instead you cut yourself. After a few minutes and some blood on your hands you manage to get the tape off only to find a complex system for the nozzle of the bottle. Still half asleep you try and get it to work but fail. You miss the old Vicks spray that had very simple nozzle, throw-away the Afrin and then vow to yourself to remember the name "Afrin" so that you never by the product again. You wonder if a lawyer was responsible for human factors design for Afrin, then try to go back to sleep" | 1 | March 30, 2017 | 9 | 147 |
21,220 | Focalin XR | adhd | "My son is 13 and he has tried several different prescriptions for ADHD. This one does seem to be the best so far. I have read about the max of dose being 20 ml and that is what he is on. Once the medicine wears off he can be very difficult to manage with his attitude and behavior. It is ends up being a very stressful situation when he gets this way. " | 8 | September 17, 2008 | 33 | 73 |
58,044 | Acetaminophen / hydrocodone | pain | "This was NOT effect post-op. I had a laporoscopic surgery for endometriosis and as well have herniation of discs L4&L5. I take pain medicines as a chronic pain management patient and have not needed anything other than the prescribed dosage ever. This did not work at all. I was in pain all night until a day nurse was willing to listen to the issue and gave the other brand name medicine with more APAP.
When the time comes to have other surgery, I will have to discuss with Doctor beforehand. I am not willing to suffer again." | 1 | October 28, 2009 | 17 | 97 |
145,200 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "Made me very depressed when I was not at all when it was put in. I also found it very hard to gain weight. Having it removed also made me very sick (dizziness, nausea ect). I would advise you never to get it put in." | 2 | October 15, 2015 | 2 | 45 |
220,459 | Loestrin 24 Fe | abnormal uterine bleeding | "For the past 5 months I have been having severe periods with extremely heavy bleeding to the point where I had to wear a pad and a tampon and I would bleed through both in a matter of hours (overnight pad and regular strength tampon). So I went to my obgyn. Turns out I have a big fibroid tumor, ovarian cyst, and most likely endometriosis which would explain why I had really bad cramps for a long time. She put me on Loestrin and I'm literally on the FOURTH pill and it has slowed down my bleeding so much. I did bleed through a little but I was only wearing a pad because I have surgery next week and I'm not allowed to use tampons before it. So I know this is a pretty early review but I'm really happy so far. No cramps at all." | 10 | November 9, 2011 | 17 | 146 |
140,525 | Escitalopram | depression | "I've been on lexapro for almost a week... I've been through hell within these past few months with trying to get help. Finally got in with a new dr. & My dr. prescribed me lexapro & adderal. The lexapro I take at night, because it makes me tired. It has eased up my depression. However I have an upset stomach all the time now. But my anxiety is bad again. Uncontrollable crying episodes are back. Not sure if it's the adderal making me anxious... but it's hell. My clozapine isn't even working anymore like it was. That medication made me feel normal. Now it's not working. I was told lexapro would help my anxiety, & it hasn't." | 5 | January 16, 2017 | 19 | 117 |
125,266 | Dulcolax | constipation | "So, since I started my diet which consists of eating better, constipation has been an issue. I made the grave error of purchasing this medicine. I took ONE out of the suggested dose of three tablet. This was around 8:00 p.m. Around 10:00 p.m or so, I was feeling unwell and decided to go to bed early. To sum things up, I was constantly on the toilet from 12:00 a.m to about 5:00 a.m when I finally decided to try to head to my bed. I've had diarrhea before, but never to this level where it's thin like liquid and constantly comes out (even when I was half asleep on the toilet). Please trust me on this. Constipation is ten times better than shitting your intestines out with a merciless sickness." | 1 | March 25, 2016 | 12 | 131 |
83,761 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "I switched to this BC based on the recommendation from my Dr; I was looking for a contraceptive that would help with my acne. My previous bc made me hormonal and emotional, as in all of my emotions were on the extremes and I also experienced heightened anxiety and depression. After switching to this brand I saw an evening out of my emotions and anxiety gradually as my body got used to the switch. I didn't experience any negative side effects at first, but over time as my body has gotten used to the bc I started to gain weight and my emotions are starting to become touchy again, especially during my period. Considering I got this for my acne, I've only noticed a slight difference, but that may also be due to other changes I have made." | 7 | December 4, 2017 | 0 | 138 |
36,936 | Librium | alcohol withdrawal | "I've always done cold turkey withdrawal and this is the first time I could function. It made me feel numb and zombie like but I'd rather have that than the cold turkey withdrawal. I'm a 39 year old female who's been drinking since 15. I'm a horrible binge drinker that can go weeks with only vodka or other kinds of booze, I wake up in the morning and drink until I pass out, soon as I wake up I do it all over again. The only way I stop is my husband takes my wallet, keys, and any access to $. My withdrawals kick in quick and I feel as if I'm dying. I don't sleep for 3 to 4 days, I hear stuff that's not there, I sweat profusely and than I'm freezing, horrible anxiety my heart jumps at any noise, my heart races, and I get super depressed" | 9 | February 17, 2017 | 25 | 150 |
94,105 | Trintellix | major depressive disorde | "I had less GI problems starting this than I did with Zoloft and other drugs like it. I haven't gotten nausea or diarrhea. My appetite is lower which is good since the other meds made me gain weight. I actually noticed myself feeling pretty good after about a month on 10mg. My doctor then increased me to 20mg. At the dose I had no problem with my social anxiety and my general anxiety was close to zero. It also worked amazingly for my depression." | 10 | January 6, 2016 | 44 | 84 |
1,279 | Sumatriptan | migraine | "This pill has completely changed my life I highly recommend it to anyone that suffers from migraines. As soon as you feel the symptoms you take it and it goes away in a half hour to an hour and if it doesn't you take another one and it will go away. I suffer from migraines and had to be in bed for sometime 2 days. This really works for me." | 10 | February 9, 2014 | 9 | 70 |
156,555 | Dulaglutide | diabetes, type 2 | "Well, I am 24 hrs into the shot and so far (knock on wood) the only side effect is headaches (which I never have) but I can deal with that. My morning blood reading would normally be about 169 and I got up this morning and it was 75. Just wondering how many days into it that the side effects (nausea & vomiting) started with people that did experience these effects? Will keep you posted after the week is up....." | 8 | April 18, 2017 | 16 | 80 |
9,862 | Lo Loestrin Fe | birth control | "Well after reading the reviews I'm not so worried about the fact that I haven't had my period for 2 months. I've definitely been freaking out and took 5 pregnancy tests in the past 2 months (even though I've only had sex twice, I just had to be sure, lol.) It would have been nice if my doctor would have mentioned that this was one of the side effects instead of me finding it out on my own, after 2 months of a normal cycle. She put me on this pill because I was experiencing daily discharge with the generic Tri-cyclen. That has ceased to be a problem since starting this particular kind of pill. I have not had any negative side effects, other than not having my period (sure it's no picnic but it gives me peace of mind every month)." | 9 | November 21, 2014 | 22 | 142 |
105,406 | Carbamazepine | epilepsy | "I am a 55 year old male with rare seizures. I have taken regular Tegretol in the past, but didn't like it because of the side effects with fatigue, confusion, and memory loss. I have been on Tegretol XR for the last five and a half months, and have been very pleased. The side effects seem to be much less and allow me to function much more normally. " | 9 | March 9, 2008 | 13 | 69 |
132,399 | Methergine | migraine | "I've been suffering from migraines for about 10 years. I've tried topamax, zonegren, savella, muscle relaxants, rescue drugs and now Methergine. I finally feel like I have my life back. I've only had one migraine in 3 months and that migraine wasn't too bad at all. It's wonderful. Methergine is supposed to be taken for a set period of time, then you need time off of it. In rare cases it causes heart/lung problems. I had to have a chest x-ray and an echo before my migraine specialist would prescribe it.
I wish migraine researchers would take another look at this drug and refine it to come up with new solutions without any possible side effects. For now, I have my life back and I'm grateful to my migraine doctor - Traci Purath." | 10 | January 8, 2010 | 38 | 133 |
136,657 | Sodium hyaluronate | osteoarthritis | "first injection no pain, 2nd hurt and 3rd injection had me in tears! Still no relief from pain and burning in my knee. Both knees are bone on bone no cartilage left. 2 more injections to go but not real optimistic at this point. :(" | 4 | April 6, 2017 | 12 | 45 |
100,432 | Desogestrel / ethinyl estradiol | birth control | "I've been on Apri for a few years and it works 100% great!
-My acne is nonexistent
-my periods are always falling on the 3-4 days that are supposed to
-My cramps are gone, I used to curl over in pain because of them! Now I have little to no discomfort
-BUT the reason I gave a 9 out of 10 is because, your sex drive is close to none, I hate it for my husband, which is why I'll probably have to make a switch soon, but for me, I love the product!" | 9 | July 20, 2014 | 20 | 94 |
198,909 | Depo-Provera | birth control | "I've been on the shot almost 2 months and loving it since reading all the bad reviews ever since I've got it I've watched what I've been eating and started swimming 5 days a week with occasional abdominal work outs and have seemed to have lost weight with the shot! No period yet so happy about that though and very easy to use acne has cleared up mood swings practically gone and have been generally happy! I would recommend to anyone who is like me and forgets things very easily." | 10 | August 9, 2016 | 7 | 90 |
170,255 | Quetiapine | borderline personality disorde | "Been on it for 5 year started on 50mg now on 300mg as duloxetine 60mg and even tho its helped with swinges in still feel it all trapped behind a locked door and i know its the medication holding it back and every time it breaks through i end up on higher and higher doses" | 8 | September 23, 2016 | 10 | 55 |
193,244 | Cyclobenzaprine | muscle spasm | "Was prescribed this for musle spasm in shoulder and back. Took for 11 days 10 mg at night slept well. I was out cold and hard to wake up in the morning. On the 10th night woke up from strange dream and in a panicked state stricking out at my huband. I took it the next night woke up again freaking out and hit and kicking. So I grabbed the pill bottle off the night stand and looked up the side effects and unusual dreams was listed. I stopped taking it and three night later I'm still hallucinating and seeing shadows move in the dark, yes hallucinating is also aside effect. I think I'll stick with ibuprofen." | 3 | February 4, 2017 | 10 | 117 |
33,989 | Junel Fe 1 / 20 | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I've been taking Junel for about 6 months now. I switched from Minastrin because I had regular breakthrough bleeding. After Minastrin, I tried Yasmin and Yaz, both of which made me very depressed and moody. Junel seems to not affect my mood as much, but I think it still does a little. I don't have any breakthrough bleeding with Junel. My one complaint is that during my period, I get terrible migraines. I am like a zombie with nonstop migraines for 3-4 or even 5 days straight. No pain medicine helps. Junel also totally cleared up my acne and gives me light, cramp-free periods. When I'm not taking a hormone, my periods are much heavier and have painful cramping." | 7 | August 13, 2015 | 3 | 119 |
191,751 | Lisdexamfetamine | adhd | "I am 33 years old, and my son is 7 years old and we both have ADD and ADHD respectively.
His mom started him off with 20mg of Vyvanse and it seemed to help out his behavior and focus problems at school. The only thing is the poor kid is losing weight. I was curious about the side effects and wanted to see if it could help out with my focus. So I started taking Vyvanse as well. It has been okay. I like the fact that I can stay on task and not go from idea to idea and not stick to one thing, but there are major withdrawal symptoms and I tend to be a total space cadet if I don't take it." | 8 | October 5, 2010 | 11 | 125 |
178,902 | Victoza | obesity | "I am a pre-Diabetic and overweight. I needed to lose 65 pounds and failed after every single diet I tried. My doctor put me on Victoza and started me on 10 clicks a day and upped my dose every week until I reached 50 clicks on my Flex-pen (3 mg).
At first I went through constant headaches and nausea in the morning when I took my dose at 9pm. I changed my dose time to 5pm and the nausea subsided after 8 weeks. My eating habits have changed (I'm less hungry and eat less) and for the last 4 months I lost 15 pounds.
Look, this medication works, but you can make small changes week by week to the way you eat (I cut soda out all together by week 9). Victoza has changed my life." | 10 | January 16, 2012 | 73 | 136 |
149,409 | Mirena | birth control | "I am 24 years old, have had one child. I got the Mirena put in about 9 weeks after delivery which was one week ago. Didn't hurt at all. My doctor did use numbing spray on my cervix though. After I left the doctors I experienced slight cramping and have continued too off and on for about a week now. Spotting is slight and more of a brownish discharge then actual blood. I have also experienced some yeast like symptoms, itching mostly. My doctor says that this could be because my body is still adjusting to the Mirena. Otherwise I'm very happy and will post again in a few weeks." | 8 | April 3, 2014 | 14 | 110 |
147,781 | Norethindrone | abnormal uterine bleeding | "So I was given Lyza because of my migraines. Long story short as soon as i started taking it I've had problems. My migraines seem even worse. It made me really moody & depressed. Not to mention never having a break from my period if I'm lucky I get 5 days off at the most other than that I'm always on my period. I definitely would not recommend!" | 1 | April 13, 2017 | 11 | 68 |
201,968 | Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin | acne | "Was prescribed this just a week ago and was told to use it twice a day after washing my face for my acne. I did this but it has left my face all dry, itchy, patchy and some part of my face looks like its been burned. I've stopped using it now and I won't be ever using this again, it slightly worked on calming down my acne spots but this cream has made my face look a thousand times worse." | 2 | February 26, 2017 | 12 | 81 |
180,575 | Adderall XR | adhd | "I was taking Generic Adderall 10 mg twice a day. I took it for a month and had a number of side effects that disappeared over time, except for 2 of them, increased excessive urination and stomach problems. So my doctor switched me to Adderall XR 20 mg. The side effects are pretty much gone so far, I have been getting sour stomach, but I started a pretty good probiotic - 9 strains 50 billion bacteria- and it's helped some. I've been on the xr for 3 days now. I can't say much for it being consistently effective though, it's also much more subtle as far as focus/concentration goes, and it seems to wear off much sooner than its supposed to, though it's hard to tell. I experience no crash at all. It's definitely much gentler than the IR version." | 7 | October 31, 2016 | 17 | 140 |
182,844 | Cymbalta | anxiety | "Just started taking this med 5 days ago after 5 years on Celexa. Celexa always left me at an "I'm fine" state and I just said that "I just am older, so I shouldn't expect to have the energy I had in high school" (I'm 26). Two months ago, my meds seemed to stop working all together. My doc decided we should counter-taper meds between Celexa and Cymbalta. Day one of Cymbalta on the lowest dose, I felt absolutely amazing. I have all of my full range of emotions and so much energy and concentration! For about 8 hours on Day 2, my eyebrow would twitch on and off, but that's gone. I'm planning on discussing with my doc about keeping the low dose (he suggested one up) and just completely getting rid of Celexa and see how that works. I'm ecstatic!" | 8 | January 6, 2017 | 39 | 142 |
169,386 | Diethylpropion | obesity | "I've been using the 75 mg of Tenuate for 2 days. I am NOT hungry at all, but I force myself to eat: Breakfast is cottage cheese, fruit, and nuts in a bowl. Then 1 bottle of water. I'm full until lunchtime 4 hrs. later. If I don't eat, I get a slight headache, so I make a half sandwich-tuna fish or turkey, lettuce, tomato and lite mayo. I eat that with a small fruit: orange/grapes. I eat more cottage cheese, ground turkey burger for dinner whole wheat bun and veggies steamed and more water and juice. I'm so full when I finish but I know it's working so I make sure I'm full so I don't get tempted to go back in the kitchen after 6:00 pm. I exercise twice a day every day. Low impact and cardio. I can see a difference already in my legs & arms. Love it." | 10 | May 15, 2012 | 15 | 152 |
9,964 | Lo Loestrin Fe | birth control | "I had no problems with this birth control, and I loved it. My periods only lasted from 3-4 days with VERY little cramping. I was pretty much disappointed when my OB told me that I couldn't get back on it for whatever reason." | 10 | September 24, 2013 | 8 | 43 |
160,570 | Buspirone | anxiety | "I am 44 years old and have suffered from general and social anxiety as long as can remember and have used many drugs through the years. I am currently on remeron, wellbutrin and buspar. I take 10mg of buspar 3 times a day and it has a subtle calming effect on the mind and body. If you are looking for a drug that will let you forget you have anxiety, buspar is not for you. If you are looking for a drug that is non habit forming, that has a low side effect profile, has no withdrawal issues and will help you manage your anxiety than buspar is you you. Good luck." | 7 | March 14, 2015 | 79 | 112 |
226,705 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "So I'm 21, I'm on my second implant. I loved implanon first time around. I don't have my period at all, I've never really had any crazy side affects until this second time around. I recommended all my friends get it. They must have changed it. I got my second one replaced about 3 months ago. I've had crazy weight gain and I'm eating better than ever and exercising. My feet, ankles, feet and face have been swelling. I'm very disappointed second time around. I'm actually getting it removed tomorrow. Everyone is going to react differently. So maybe this second implant is just a different reaction." | 7 | May 21, 2015 | 5 | 106 |
179,203 | Olanzapine | paranoid disorde | "This is a pretty cool drug for me. I have used it for about 7 years. It has helped me with anger, mood swings, rapid thinking, and to focus on things you're doing. I've only gained something like 30lbs over these years. Lots of other reviews I've read said they have gained lots of weight not true in my case. I was already overweight before I started taking it. I was like 215 before I started taking this now about 245. I even think it helped me become a better person. I enjoy gambling and I have won quite a bit on this drug. I'm more focused and have become smarter. I stopped for about three months just to see what happens and I was usually mad and angry. So I'm back on it and I'm a happier and effective person. 2.5 milligrams works best." | 9 | July 25, 2016 | 5 | 145 |

42,834 | Xulane | birth control | "Y'all missed the whole point of this question! It was about that rashes. I use the xulane patch too my first time on bc and yes it does leaves rashes and itch the only thing I can think of now is to not put it in the same spot as last time. I just wonder if the rash is ever going to go away" | 8 | September 28, 2016 | 3 | 64 |
92,995 | Vortioxetine | depression | "My doctor prescribed this drug to me in order to help my low mood, anxiety and panic. It did not help, zero. The only positive side is that i did not experienced any side effect, actually this med is like water to me. My personal and not medical opinion is to stick to older SSRI." | 1 | October 12, 2016 | 7 | 55 |
36,107 | Imiquimod | human papilloma virus | "This drug works well at killing warts, but it's best to start with the tiniest amount to check how your body responds to it, and then ramp it up if you don't get a strong response.
I didn't follow the boilerplate "3 times a week" usage guidance because this was too slow for me. I used it every day and amply, until after about 1 week when the 'blistering' effect started to kick in, then I backed off.
The negative reviews from people who got bad reactions are missing the point a little. The whole idea of the drug is to ramp up an immune response in the area you apply it. The red blistering/rash/swelling etc is precisely what you want: this is the immune system doing its work." | 9 | June 15, 2017 | 16 | 129 |
197,816 | Metoprolol | angina | "This drug has literally changed my life in a very short time. I was having horrible chest pains, with a mixture of general anxiety due to work/home stress. Cardiologist found source of my chest pain is a narrowed subclavian artery.
The chest pain completely stopped within 24 hours. The only real side effect is difficulty sleeping if instructed to take it at night. I switched to taking it first thing in the morning and I now sleep like a baby. I give it a 9/10 solely for that side effect. I did feel very lethargic when I first took it, but that went away completely after 2 days or so once my body got used to the meds.
I feel much more calm than I did before so this medication has really changed the way I feel. improvement is noticeable" | 9 | March 7, 2017 | 10 | 140 |
77,037 | Lorcaserin | obesity | "I have been on this medication for a month and I have lost 6lbs. You may think that is not much, but it is better than gaining 2 or 3 lbs here or there. I had actually only taken 1 pill a day instead of the 2 pills a day the first month. Now that I am on my second month, I am taking the two a day and waiting on the results for next month." | 10 | March 31, 2015 | 27 | 76 |
104,704 | Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I just started my second pack and I have been on my period for the last 3 weeks. At first it was just some spotting.

60,182 | NuvaRing | birth control | "I have been on other birth controls for over 6 years. (Yaz, Yasmin, Loestrin and more). Gone through migraines, excessive bleeding patterns, no sex drive at all, mood swings, as most recently while on Loestrin 24 I spent 14 months basically crying every day until I finally switched to Nuvaring. I no longer have any of the above symptoms and feel great! I will say I have an actual period but it is short and manageable. Loestrin left me period free for over a year. My sex drive has begun to come back- something I thought I no longer even had, and I feel like a normal person again. " | 9 | June 24, 2012 | 2 | 110 |
162,110 | Benzoyl peroxide | acne | "I've been on Benzoyl for many months and I've been seeing results since I've been on it. Putting a thin film on your face is effective enough and it lasts long. I recommend applying it even when ur acne is gone and treated because it also prevents acne as well as it treats it. I haven't had a pimple in 3 months or more.." | 8 | February 6, 2016 | 29 | 64 |
157,822 | Accutane | rosacea | "I took Accutane about 10 years ago, it was a pain to go to the lab every month so I could get my prescription but it was worth it. My skin was so bumpy and inflammed that at some points my eyes would be swollen shut from the massive bumps on my cheeks. I only took Accutane for about 3 months and I have been mostly clear since. I have only had about 2 large rosacea related cysts since and they were 1/4 the size and didn't have the pain that just made you want to cry. I'm still on other medications as it didn't completely clear up my rosacea acne but it was 80% better and I couldn't be happier that I no longer suffer from the pain of the cysts." | 9 | October 15, 2013 | 19 | 132 |
118,725 | Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol | menstrual disorders | "I got switched to this from yaz. The worst month of my life. Terrible mood swings, anxiety, not to mention I bled through the entire pack. I don't recommend this to anyone" | 1 | October 3, 2017 | 0 | 32 |
167,164 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I've had the slyla iud for 4 months now and the first time I got it I had really bad cramps, dizzy and was sweating like crazy. When I get my period I get the worst cramps of my life. The cramping lasts about 3 days which heating pad and Motrin has helped a bit. I've had light spotting for 3 months which makes it difficult to have intercourse with my boyfriend. I've gained about 10 pounds. Not too satisfied but not kids so far which is a good thing." | 5 | May 8, 2016 | 1 | 90 |

I read reviews before purchasing and thought well it cant be that bad cause yeast infections have burning and itching anyways so whats the big deal. Bad, bad, bad idea. Worst money ever spent.

When nothing was wrong in my life I felt a constant irritation with the people around me.

I have lost weight but have been bloated, with constant headaches. :(" | 1 | February 27, 2016 | 4 | 82 |
177,384 | Duloxetine | depression | "This medication totally changed my life. I was previously suffering from intense suicidality and intrusive thoughts, overwhelming social and physical anxiety. After about 1-2 weeks, I noticed a significant improvement. After 4-8 weeks, things were 100% great. My job isn't the best job to have in the world, but I feel happy to get up and be productive and am proud of working hard. I am happy and confident and wish I would have known about it sooner. The side effects have been minimal, a little bit of restlessness and waking during sleep, not 100% sure if it's attributable to the medication. Overall from my experience I would completely recommend it." | 10 | September 24, 2016 | 57 | 111 |

204,067 | Veltin | acne | "I'm 15 and started using this around January 2013. I had mostly acne on my forehead no where else. It cleared it up really well and I had clear skin for about 3 months. Then summer started and my hormones started acting up and I brokeout a ton on my cheeks and sort of on my forehead. I know it's not Veltins fault, but I am taking minocycline pills with the Veltin now. All I have to say is VELTIN IS GREAT, don't stop using it. It also cleared up my back acne." | 7 | August 16, 2013 | 13 | 93 |
39,835 | Contrave | obesity | "This medication has been what I consider a life saver for me.
I was very conflicted about taking it in the beginning after reading the possible side effects.
After a bit more research on my part I gave it a try. I have been on this medication for9 weeks exactly. My starting weight was 205.6 lbs today I weighed in at 177.0
Only side effect for me is the constipation about once a week or so. I take something for that and I'm fine
Feel great, sleep better than ever. I feel more upbeat, and energized without being jittery. I'm glad I decided to try this medication.
It has been a positive experience for me,
I gave myself a year to loose the weight I need to loose , but I'm halfway there and it's only been about 9 1/2 weeks!!" | 10 | November 6, 2015 | 33 | 141 |
99,917 | Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate | bowel preparation | "I had my 4th colonoscopy this morning and used Suprep as my prep. It is expensive but I purchased it anyway, because it was recommended by my gastroenterologist. It tastes awful and it gave me nausea and a headache. It works way too fast as I was going in 10 minutes after taking it. As the day went on, I started feeling dizzy as if I were going to faint. The nurse at my doctor's office thought that I was dehydrated even though I had been drinking the liquids recommended all day. I was unable to take the second dose and was not totally cleaned out for my procedure. I recommend the Mirolax prep which I have had in the past with no trouble." | 1 | December 3, 2015 | 8 | 124 |
205,343 | Pristiq | major depressive disorde | "This is the 4th medication I've been on and the hardest one to work through. I suffer from mainly anxiety and PTSD not so much depression. I am also extremely sensitive to medication and have experienced all of the side effects. Pristiq made me more depressed than ever, and knew this was not me. I was always tired, then I halved the pill and its worked wonders!! Anyone suffering mainly anxiety I suggest you do this before jumping ship. I have my energy back, and going to the gym almost everyday. I also dropped weight using this medication. I'm getting back my life after losing to this drug for almost 3 months. Please Try HALVING the tablet- best advice ever given :) Now I can go back on teaching rounds without suffering social anxiety." | 7 | July 11, 2016 | 12 | 134 |

I wanted to share my experience as all I've read are glowing reviews... Glad it's working for some people but have to imagine there are others who experienced something similar to me. I have taken it now for 3-4 days which should have been enough time to get a feel for whether or not it works. It did absolutely nothing for my nausea. If anything, it made me feel worse. I was so tired I couldn't function. Had to lay down in the middle of the day for a few hours, was feeling so tired and sick. I didn't take any last night and today I feel better than I have since I started taking it!" | 1 | April 23, 2016 | 6 | 141 |
167,723 | Eletriptan | migraine | "My migraines get pretty severe, and I get pretty nauseous, however I have never actually vomited except for the time that I tried Relpax. It may work for some people, but in my experience it just made things worse." | 1 | December 9, 2010 | 14 | 39 |
107,725 | Implanon | birth control | "I've had my Implanon in for about 3 months now and I really like it so far. I've had no weight gain that wasn't my own fault, im not irritable, I spot from time to time but nothing major. Before this I had been on Depo for about 2 years and I did really well with that one also. I would suggest that you try Depo before you get the insert because they have similar side affects. If you do well with Depo you will do well with the insert." | 10 | February 16, 2010 | 6 | 90 |
98,412 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I have been on Nexplanon for a while. During the beginning, I had my period on my normal time of the month. After my first year, I had begun barely having a period. I don't know if it's diet or something, but I'm on my second year and I have begun having my period for a month at a time, but three months without one. Overall, I'm not pregnant, and it hasn't effected my mood, craving, acne, anything." | 9 | February 8, 2015 | 11 | 78 |

The heaviness in head and the dizziness, I feel it coming on and take two and I'm fine about 20 minutes later. I highly recommend Bonine for vertigo symptoms." | 10 | July 30, 2014 | 136 | 61 |
79,073 | Plan B One-Step | emergency contraception | "I promised I would write a review if it worked to ease the minds of those going through what I did. I had unprotected sex on the seventh day of my cycle, January 15 (2 days after my period ended, 2 days before I was supposed to be fertile, and a week before my predicted ovulation day). He claimed to have pulled out in time but I was paranoid so I took the pill 34 hours later. Four days later I had already experienced being bloated, having headaches, and feeling nauseated, not finishing my favorite foods. A week after I began spotting enough to fill half a panty liner, this lasted three days. The 25, I had been nauseous and vomited twice. My breast were also very tender for about three days. I became extremely emotional five days before my period due date, I would not stop crying and I was crying for no reason. I became really dizzy when I would stand up after being in bed for a few minutes. These may sound bad, but it was nothing I couldn't handle. Especially since I got my period the day it was due." | 10 | February 6, 2017 | 12 | 194 |
196,330 | Eszopiclone | insomnia | "I gave this product 3 stars only because I have a high tolerance even though I am a tiny woman, so my experience may not be the norm. That being said, I had been using Ambien for my insomnia for quite a few months and it was starting to take hours before it would put me to sleep. My Dr. recommended we switch it up to see if another product worked better. I took Lunesta for only two nights before I knew it was not for me. Not only did it keep me awake, but it made my heart race and heightened my already bad anxiety. I immediately switched back to Ambien and I will stay put w that. I'm writing this as I hope this helps someone else like me. Had I read some reviews like this, I would have never switched over." | 3 | July 10, 2017 | 8 | 144 |
46,941 | Emsam | depression | "EMSAM greatly helped the depression and anxiety. I had energy and a life again. But I had insomnia very hard to treat. I tried Ambien, Lunesta, Seroquel, Ativan and Trazodone but nothing helped. My Psychiatrist suggested Chloral Hydrate. " | 7 | December 4, 2011 | 52 | 39 |
153,403 | Doxycycline | acne | "I am 26 and have adult onset acne. I've always had completely clear skin until about 3 years ago. It is moderate in severity, mainly on my cheeks and chin. Makeup covers it up ok usually but it's definitely there underneath. 5 days ago I started on 100mg doxycycline once a day, and putting topical differin gel on at night. In that short time I am amazed that my acne/discoloration has decreased by about 30%. I already see a significant marked change, as no new pimples have formed since starting it, and my existing ones are drying up and shrinking. The darker spots from previous ones healing has lightened. I'm very excited to go back in 6 weeks hopefully with a make-up free face. No side effects from the meds that I've noticed whatsoever." | 10 | January 23, 2014 | 16 | 134 |

He operated on it and it healed but I started having problems. My leg was 2 inches shorter then the other. I had broke my leg in 3 places. Messed up the nerves and all my toes got broke. As each year went by my foot started turning into a club foot. After 17 operations and was told I need an ankle replacement but my doctor told me operation doesn't last and the down time is long. I have chronic pain and I get migraines. Over the years I have been on many different pain meds. Oxymorphone ER has given me more relief then any other.

Only able to tolerate small portions and must eat every 3-4 hours during the day, if I don't eat I get nauseous. Worst time for me use to be around dinner time when I could not stop snacking, now those cravings are gone YAH! 10 lbs lost in 4 weeks, just what I wanted slow and steady. Insurance does cover, so will be continuing until goal weight of 150." | 9 | February 28, 2016 | 36 | 82 |

89,984 | Risperdal | schizoaffective disorde | "Risperdal is my miracle. I put on about 30 pounds in the course of 18 months but that is nothing as to the improvement it has made on my mental well being. Gone are the sleepless nights staring at the ceiling, delusions of grandeur, and being overly worried about life's ups and downs. The psychosis has diminished to the point where I no longer need medication to remain stable. If symptoms ever return, I know this is the medication for me. Also no unpleasant side effects from coming off it." | 9 | June 14, 2013 | 50 | 90 |
205,000 | Toradol | pain | "Toradol has literally been a lifesaver! I have Cervical Dystonia, which gives me really bad migraines. Toradol usually will take my entire migraine away, and if it doesn't, it makes it manageable.It doesn't make me sick to my stomach, and it doesn't make me too drowsy, I'm able to drive home afterwards. The only bad thing about it is that I usually have pain around the injection site that lasts for a long while, but it hardly compares to the pain of the headache I had before it!" | 10 | February 8, 2013 | 16 | 88 |
122,417 | Linaclotide | 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 |
103,889 | Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel | birth control | "I have been on Chatael for 12 months now. I did have mood swings and did cry a lot the first week I was on the pill just because my body was getting used to it. By the second week I was perfectly fine. I did not gain weight and my skin has been perfectly normal. My periods are light to normal and last only 3-4 days and come like clock work. I got it from planned parenthood and the only reason I'm switching (to Levora) is because at planned parenthood it did cost 27$ for each pack. Overall very happy with it and I'm hoping Levora works just as well for me and doesn't give me bad side effects or I'll definitely switch back." | 9 | October 28, 2014 | 12 | 125 |
100,367 | Desogestrel / ethinyl estradiol | birth control | "I switched to this from Ortho Tri Cyclen six months ago to help with unwanted facial hair. It hasn't helped and it's made my hair and skin very oily. My skin hasn't looked this bad since I was sixteen. I'm using acne toner, spot treatment, oil-free moisturizer, and a foundation for acne-prone skin and none of it has made any difference. I have constant mood swings and cry easily. I'm switching back to Ortho Tri Cyclen next week." | 5 | February 3, 2014 | 5 | 78 |
143,098 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I got the arm implant 8 months ago and I LOVE IT!! Don't let the scary reviews freak you out. I haven't had any bleeding since the day I got it. No pain, no hormonal imbalances or any issues at all! Really it's the best decision I made. I didn't like the idea of something being inside me "down there" so this was perfect. Insertion was a breeze, they numb the spot and wrap you up when you're done, easy. Really I have no bad comments about it. Give it a try, it might be just what you're looking for!" | 10 | May 30, 2017 | 14 | 100 |
14,572 | Buprenorphine / naloxone | opiate dependence | "I was addicted to opiate pain killers for a little over a year, and it got to the point where if I didn't take them I would get cold sweats, body aches, and diarrhea. My whole world revolved around taking vicodin or Norcos. I had to take them just to feel normal. Then I heard about a drug called Suboxone. I went to a drug rehabilitation clinic, and they prescribed it to me. Twenty minutes after taking it I felt 100 times better. I can't believe how amazingly it worked. Some people try to say that it is just substituting one drug for another, but that is definitely not the case. Suboxone was not at all addictive nor did it cause me to have withdrawls. It is an awesome drug and I definitely recommend it to anyone with opiate dependence." | 10 | January 27, 2009 | 24 | 140 |

12,679 | Etanercept | rheumatoid arthritis | "Started Enbrel 6 weeks ago and after 2 years of constant pain despite taking a variety of drugs - this week I can actually walk for at least a short distance without crippling pain. The remaining discomfort I think is due to lack of strength from years of forced inactivity which is going to take time to build up but oh - the joy of no pain! So far no side effects and hopefully I can regain my life again." | 9 | October 28, 2013 | 74 | 80 |

57,557 | Acetaminophen / hydrocodone | pain | "This medication works wonders with no side effects for me, takes away pain and may seem to give a bit of energy probably due to not being in pain, anyone who blames their heroin addiction on pain meds are just full of it. It's their choice whether they want to do that or not, I've been on norco on and off for years and if anyone offered me 100 million to try heroin I would never do it because look where you end up ( dead most of the time ) If you take hydrocodone as prescribed you will be fine and just ease your way off on your last ones and break them in half. Why they would want to even think about getting rid of a medicine that actually helps is beyond me. I put up with severe pain because of doctors today cause of the addicts, It's sad." | 10 | August 24, 2017 | 15 | 151 |

231,081 | Milnacipran | ibromyalgia | "First medication for Fibromyaligia that did not make me talk to myself, lose my vision or be so sleepy I could not work. I appreciate some feedback I read that said take it while eating meals helps with side effects. Mine have been sweating (odd body temperature swings) and dry mouth. I have switched to unsweet to so as not to pack on pounds and drink more. Has helped curb my appetite (pain makes you want to comfort eat). One month on still some pain issues but can get out of bed in the morning and work during day. Be sure to go to drugs.com and check interactions. Can't take it with a lot of medicines doctors try for fibromyalgia. I am only on Savella and occasional Tylenol. Right now doing better than I have in a long time." | 9 | September 9, 2009 | 44 | 139 |
51,553 | Azithromycin | sinusitis | "I personally believe The Z-Pak should be the #1 Drug Prescribed on the Market if you need to maintain your Health FAST & be yourself again. I seem to be prone to Strep Throat, Severe Sinustitis & Resp. Infections in the Fall & Winter. A couple of years ago I was 'Due to have Surgery in 6 Days' and was told "if I was sick I would have to Postpone it". Well after waiting a month for this Surgery, planning a Home & Dog Sitter & Time off from work 'working it in with everyone else's Schedules, to me it was Imperative I be well enough 4 all to go as planned'. "5 day Z-Pac was prescribed". It is a no nonsense drug and I can not think of a single side effect. I was well enough for surgery to go on as planned. " | 10 | November 19, 2009 | 83 | 145 |

Will not try again!" | 1 | July 3, 2016 | 3 | 80 |
