228,222 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I had the Implanon inserted in May 09, six weeks after having my baby. The only great thing is I don't have to take the pills but apart from that my hormones are up and down all the time. My first period after having it in was okay but the next one has lasted six weeks and counting. I don't know what to do? As for my weight I have just stayed the same but I'm trying to lose weight. My daughter is four and a half months old so I think I will give it one more month for my bleeding and hormones to settle down and if not I will be getting it out." | 3 | July 23, 2009 | 2 | 116 |
227,115 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I love it. I only have to worry about it once every 3 years. I only get my period every 3 to 4 months with minimal cramping although it is a heavy flow. My period only last 4-5 days. I haven't gained weight. I can't think of a single thing "wrong" with it" | 9 | April 30, 2014 | 12 | 53 |
214,649 | Escitalopram | major depressive disorde | "I have taken anti-depressants since the age of 40. This one helps a lot in my thoughts of suicide. I was very suicidal a couple of weeks ago and this med has help quite down the thoughts of suicide to a point where I can consider treatment for my depression. This med is helping me to ignore the voices in my head that tell me to kill myself.
The only side effect I have is insomnia. I can live with that." | 9 | July 15, 2017 | 3 | 81 |
5,058 | Orsythia | birth control | "From using this pill for a year I can say my opinion is firmly that Orsythia is not for me. The pharmacy/insurance switched Lutera to Orsythia and I just went along with it, despite the negative reviews. This past year has been a completely different me, my sex drive was fine, bad cramps only once and then other time from the white week sticker falling off and accidentally missing some pills. But my mood swings became so frequent and awful. I experienced depression and suicidal thoughts and am glad to have switched out of this birth control. I understand everyone's experience is different, but please don't be afraid to switch out of this birth control. Or keep a mood diary if you experience unusual moods." | 3 | July 29, 2016 | 5 | 125 |
75,294 | Vistaril | anxiety | "I was prescribed Vistaril 25mg to help relieve tension and was told to take 2 pills so 50mg if I 1 25mg pill didn't work. 50mg didn't really help either. I felt no improvement in how I felt aftetlr taking it. I was told after 30 minutes of taking it I should've felt better but it never happened. After 2 to 3 hours after taking it I felt somewhat relaxed but was more tired than relax. Vistaril really didn't work out for me." | 2 | December 11, 2016 | 38 | 83 |
212,204 | Lamotrigine | bipolar disorde | "Change my life dramatically within a week. I'm mixed-rapid-cycling. I rapid I mean within the same day. Worse, I feel like behing depress and maniac at the same time. Lamotrigine solve most of that. No real side-effet but vision, dry mouth. I feel that I taught is more clear and vivid than ever. Good feeling. I also have interesting dreams. I'm taking presently 250 mg/night.
However now it's time to ajust again. Symptoms are coming back.
Last word, add 300mg lithium, zopiclone 10mg and zyprexa 2.5" | 10 | October 25, 2013 | 25 | 86 |
108,359 | Bupropion / naltrexone | obesity | "This medication is TERRIBLE ! My mom started taking this medication about a month ago, and Friday morning, May 22nd, 2015, she suffered from a horrific seizure. She was sitting at her work desk and all of a sudden, she started breathing really hard and fell over face first and hit her head on the carpeting, which keep in mind is straight concrete underneath, and started seizing. As doctors rushed over to assist my mom and paramedics rushed in, her life was slowly leaving her body. Her lips turned blue, and the oxygen was escaping. My mom regained oxgen on her own, however, she was rushed to the ER to only determine the cause was this medication. All I can say is I am lucky to have my mom here today because this could've killed her." | 1 | May 24, 2015 | 38 | 136 |
7,127 | Aluminum chloride hexahydrate | hyperhidrosis | "I am 18 years old and I have had a sweating problem under my arms since I was 13. I have been wearing black T-shirts since I can remember only because they didn't show sweat! I went to my doctor about a month ago and she prescribed me Hypercare. I love it. I could feel the difference just after one use. It really is a miracle! Yes it itches and sometimes burns when you put it on but it is totally worth it and many people say that I would start sweating a lot in other places but I haven't noticed that anywhere so I am super happy with Hypercare." | 10 | July 24, 2012 | 3 | 110 |
209,594 | Androderm | hypogonadism, male | "I am an older guy (over 65). Last evening was my first experience with Androderm 2 mg patch. I was not expecting much in the way of results. About an hour and half after dosing my penis became fully erect and hard without any physical stimulis. This has not happened in years. This morning I woke with morning wood. More like a willow than a oak but I will take that. The patch did not come off in the pool doing water exercises for over an hour. Total Testosterone 381 Free Testosterone 55 So far I have been very happy with product" | 10 | March 13, 2013 | 53 | 102 |
13,159 | Xolair | asthma, maintenance | "I've been taking the shots for 6 months now and have only had 2 episodes of mild asthma. Before the shots, I had severe asthma for 27 years and was on steroids for 27 years. Needless to say, my bones have suffered the consequence of steroids. I wish this drug wasn't so expensive. It saves lives. It changes lives but most people can't afford it! Including myself. I was completely disabled from asthma, but medicaid approved this drug for me for 6 months. I has made an amazing difference." | 10 | July 9, 2010 | 33 | 89 |
33,177 | Microgestin Fe 1 / 20 | birth control | "I wanted to wait until I had been on this pill for a month and had my first cycle on it before writing a review. I was put on it because of a diagnosis of PCOS and I wanted to try and shrink the cysts. The only side effects I've really had are nausea, terrible skin, and BIG BOOBS. Now for some people, that last one would be great- however, I like my boobs the size that they were lol. Maybe once my hormones all balance out, they'll go down. The nausea only comes in waves which isn't that bad and my skin cleared some after the first two weeks. However, I still have dry skin which isn't something I dealt with before. Also, my cycle was very light and hardly any cramps; just back pain." | 7 | May 17, 2017 | 7 | 136 |
31,722 | Miconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "I've had many yeast infections before and twice I've experienced one of the worst feelings ever. I literally put the medicine in and five minutes later I feel burning and itching. It is extremely unbearable. I'd rather deal with a YI for life than to deal with this. Only thing I can say is it does relieve the YI but makes you suffer for it." | 2 | November 23, 2015 | 2 | 65 |
16,944 | Phillips' Milk of Magnesia | constipation | "I’ll start by saying, this stuff has very mixed reviews. I expected it to either never kick in, or work way too well. Neither did happen, but I have been relieved of my constipation. I took 3 tbsps on Thursday 9/21. Nothing at all. Later on that night, I took 2 more tbsps just to make sure that it would kick in at some point. I woke up at 8:47 AM today, and I barely made it to the restroom. I’m writing this as I finish my 30 minute restroom break. This stuff works wonders. Not only did clean me out well, there was no pains whatsoever. 999999999999999/10. It may take a little over a day to start, but it is MIGHTY worth it." | 10 | September 22, 2017 | 7 | 124 |
123,051 | Avinza | pain | "This is a good long term drug for the management of chronic pain but its effectiveness fades over time and you have to increase the dose in order to maintain the same effectiveness. " | 7 | March 20, 2009 | 13 | 34 |
147,479 | Alprazolam | not listed / othe | "Alprazolam settles my fears of people and my anxiety keeps my heart from beating real fast during an attack [panic]. Anxiety is a horrible disease. It affects my life every day and night. Alprolazam helps me with my everyday life." | 10 | October 14, 2009 | 2 | 40 |
16,778 | Yaz | premenstrual dysphoric disorde | "I took Yaz for 6 months with good results, but not complete relief of my PMDD. Due to an insurance goof up I was unable to get my medication for 2 months (it is more than I can afford out of pocket). During those 2 months I realized how much it had been helping me. My periods were much lighter and the bloating and tenderness were much worse when I was off of them. I'm am back on Yaz now and my doctor has combined it with Zoloft so hopefully I will be back to "normal" soon." | 7 | August 15, 2008 | 17 | 97 |
141,180 | Escitalopram | anxiety | "I've recently suffered a relationship breakdown. My anxiety eventually spiralled out of control to the point I walked out of my job, life & all "responsibilities" to return home like a child. OCD negative thoughts, inability to go 2 days without crying, constant fear of anxiety returning, weight loss and inability to sleep / function basically LIVE!! I was SO scared of the horror stories but at rock bottom there's nowhere but up right? I have been on 5mg for 4 days now. Taking it before bed. First night very nauseous, the next day feeling tired, teary & "distracted". However, I have noticed a general improvement in my mood after 4 days. A good day yesterday and terrible today. BUT! I'm persevering. Thanks all for positive stories. :o)" | 3 | June 21, 2015 | 45 | 128 |
165,216 | Phentermine / topiramate | weight loss | "I have been taking Qsymia for 10 weeks and have lost 30 pounds. It has quietened the I am hungry voice I would so often hear not long after eating what I knew was a reasonable portion of food. I would suggest to the manufacturer that they get you through the 3.75 phase in a week rather than two weeks because it seemed to me that it was easier to adjust to the 3.7g mg than the 7.5 mg. I would strongly recommend this to anyone who has tried and failed at losing weight." | 8 | August 28, 2013 | 83 | 94 |
49,851 | Gabapentin | diabetic peripheral neuropathy | "Was having horrible and excruciating pain in my feet due to Type 2 diabetes that was recently diagnosed. 300 mg at night has allowed me to now sleep at night without foot pain and get a good night's rest." | 10 | April 8, 2016 | 35 | 39 |
69,006 | Medroxyprogesterone | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I have gotten the depo about 4 years ago. Loved it because it stopped my menstrual. I got back on it in October 2015. It stopped my period for a month and a half In December 2015 I started bleeding. Couldn't wait until February to get my next shot. Today March 2016 after getting my 2nd shot I'm still bleeding. This is the worst ever. I will never take Depo again. When will it stop. I can't do anything. So depressed" | 1 | March 20, 2016 | 6 | 81 |
227,754 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I had my Implanon inserted June of this year. I bleed non stop. Since I was put on Implanon I've had really bad anxiety and my sex drive has gone down. I have very painful menstrual cramps which I can't even stand straight. I'm getting it removed in two weeks." | 1 | November 7, 2011 | 0 | 50 |
224,395 | Levothyroxine | underactive thyroid | "I have been dignosed with Hypothyroidism since 2010, my weight has never changed. I've been taking this medicine and no difference in 5 years. I spoke with my doctor and she tells me to continue to take it and referred me to a lady to do the HCG which cost too much money for me to do. Instead of her looking more into my condition and trying another medication. I have scheduled an appointment with another doctor to get help." | 1 | April 30, 2015 | 11 | 80 |
85,521 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | acne | "I am starting my third month of this birth control and I have to say it's pretty good. My acne has decreased dramatically. I used to have a lot of cystic acne spread throughout my face and now it is decreasing. Also, my period is very light and it lasts about 3 to 4 days. I actually experienced cramps the last time I had my period on the first day but once I took two Advils I was fine. As for weight I have maintained the same way however my breasts do increase right before my period and I do feel bloated on the first day. I would recommend this if you're looking to treat your acne." | 9 | November 24, 2014 | 22 | 117 |
155,642 | Metronidazole | bacterial infection | "I had constant nausea and mild diarrhea on it until I eliminated dairy products. Took more than 24 hours after the last serving, but both the nausea and the diarrhea went away. I've also experienced fatigue, vertigo and a lot of trouble concentrating. Ugh. But it does seem to be doing the job. I'm taking it and another antibiotic for an infected surgical wound." | 7 | January 28, 2013 | 14 | 64 |
161,740 | Remeron | 40</span> users found this comment helpful. | "Remeron got rid of my depression, and my anxiety was a lot better. I also was able to get to sleep a lot easier. I did notice some weight gain though, but not a lot." | 8 | August 2, 2012 | 40 | 35 |
96,428 | Sertraline | depression | "I'm a 17 year old female. I'm in my first semester of college. I've had depression since about 13/14 and I've always had anxiety. Unfortunately, my anxiety became intolerable once I started college. I've been on Zoloft for a week and a half. The first week I took 25 mg, now I'm up to 50 mg. I've only had one panic attack since starting. I feel way more relaxed. As for the depression, I used to sit around all day just thinking about how much I hate life. I haven't been doing this anymore since I started on Zoloft. I'm hoping Zoloft will do even more for me after a few more weeks. I'm finally looking forward to the future with hope." | 9 | November 12, 2010 | 100 | 122 |
45,305 | Fluoxetine | depression | "It's great. I get songs in my head or find myself humming, and that hasn't happened for a long time. More random positive thoughts too. And much less of the bad ones. I sometimes feel down, but it's not often and I think unavoidable. The side affect I notice is phases of vivid bad dreams. More nightmares and more stand that are stressful and occupy my mind too much, which makes me feel less rested." | 9 | September 20, 2015 | 30 | 75 |
9,052 | Cefuroxime | sinusitis | "I had a headache for 2 weeks straight and couldn't figure out why so I finally broke down and went to the doctors yesterday! She prescribed me Ceftin and said I had a sinus infection. I took both pills yesterday and woke up today with no headache at all and feeling amazing. This pill really works so far!" | 10 | October 16, 2017 | 0 | 58 |
195,457 | Aviane | birth control | "I started taking Aviane in April I switched to it from YAZ because it made me psycho with migraines every other day. At first I loved Aviane because my headaches went away. I'm now 8 months into it and breaking out like a teenager. I am 25 years old but you wouldn't know it by my face. I am so depressed about it. I don't want to look at anyone or talk to anyone. My overall mood when I don't have to talk to people is great. I love the way it makes me feel. It just seriously screwed up my face with cystic acne all around my chin and mouth area. I'm switching to another pill on Sunday! YAY ME! More breakouts through the transition period. WISH ME LUCK. :(" | 1 | December 15, 2016 | 4 | 131 |
163,341 | Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate | headache | "Midrin works very well on the onset. Stops the "gritty" pain and brings my headache/beginning migraine down to almost nothing. I do get a bit lightheaded and sometimes a bit amped, but its totally worth it. I used to take 2 on the onset and rarely had to follow up on the next hour or two. Now I only take 1 on the onset and I'm fine. When the pill winds down I feel tired so I when taking the pill I plan on resting later that day and not to over-exert. I have Chiari I." | 9 | October 21, 2016 | 11 | 96 |
47,700 | Adapalene | acne | "I've only been using this for about 5 days and I can already see very clear results! It says to not expect anything till 2 weeks but with my skin it seemed to start working overnight because the next day it was already clearer and scars had faded a bit! Bearing in mind I have very very mild acne not very noticeable just wanted this cream to prevent from getting worse. Will keep you guys updated :) would definitely recommend this for oily skin with some blackheads and mild acne or moderate acne." | 10 | May 7, 2017 | 17 | 93 |
140,122 | Asenapine | bipolar disorde | "Love it! This medication can have a tough adjustment period. But I took 1tsp of Benadryl with it at night and that helped me adjust. As long as you don't have symptoms of allergic reaction then my advice is hang in there. Saphris is by far the best medicine! I now take 5mg in the morning and 5mg at night with zero side effects. This med has made all my anxiety and paranoia associated with mania dissappear! I have been using free samples so far but the cost will be worth my health and sanity!" | 10 | April 17, 2016 | 17 | 95 |
134,852 | Zovirax Cream | herpes simplex | "I have lived 14 years with cold sores from HSV 1, spending $20/tube on Abreva and suffering from annual break outs, some worse than others, but all embarrassing and painful! I never thought to ask for an prescfription, but coincidentally had a cold sore on my lip when I went to see my OBGYN last year. She noticed it and wrote me an Rx for Zovirax cream, and I let it sit in my wallet for a couple months until I felt the tell-tale "tingling". This stuff really works, and if you apply it early enough, the sore won't even really form or blister and will completely disappear within 3-5 days. It's amazing, and totally worth it. Do yourself a favor and get it! It was only $30, and the tube is bigger than a tube of Abreva." | 10 | January 8, 2015 | 15 | 138 |
148,851 | Mirena | birth control | "I had Mirena inserted in April of 2015. The insertion was painful for me, as I have not ever been pregnant and given birth. I had light spotting for two weeks after insertion and then when I thought my body was adjusting, I would spot throughout the following months. It wasn't until month 6 that the spotting stopped. It was also in month 6 that I discovered one mass in each of my breasts, one the size of a walnut and the other the size of a small gumball. I really did enjoy having no periods with Mirena, but I had it removed at month 9, with a pending breast ultrasound and mammogram at age 26." | 3 | January 30, 2016 | 4 | 116 |
156,365 | Ropinirole | restless legs syndrome | "Began taking ropinirole .5mg in 2010. 1mg in 2012 and 2mg in 2014. Worked REALLY well. Began causes side effects such as agitation, anxiety, and worsening restless leg syndrome. Took it at 11pm before bed, started having symptoms again at 8am. Can't sleep without it though. Ugh." | 7 | October 5, 2015 | 16 | 47 |
71,781 | Tramadol | depression | "I have manic depression and anxiety disorder an I also have fibromyalgia and chronic pain this medicine an I also take 600 gabapentin it works for me also help with menopause symptoms but for my depression it really helps keeps me from crying all day and helps me feel better," | 10 | December 21, 2016 | 45 | 50 |
220,347 | Amitriptyline | insomnia | "I took Endep 25 for headaches. I felt drowsy even the next day. So I went to Endep 10. I need to to take it about 2 hours before sleep. Side effect - ear noise which is going on for over 1 week now after 1 tablet. Going to stop it for a while due to side effect." | 7 | March 21, 2014 | 68 | 58 |
181,544 | Prozac | depression | "I have suffered from depression since I was 14 (I am 22 now). I've tried Lexapro and Celexa, but Lexapro was too expensive and Celexa quit working for me after a few months. Prozac has completely taken away all suicidal ideations (which I have had almost daily since I was 14) and has made life so much easier for me to handle. I can't believe that I have been missing out all this time! It's hard to believe that other people really live this way, without constant depression and anxiety, every day! I am so happy I found this medication. I did not know if it was possible to completely get rid of those thoughts. Amazing medicine." | 10 | April 17, 2012 | 76 | 117 |
23,857 | Saphris | bipolar disorde | "I take 3/4 of a 5mg Saphris and 200mg Epilim which helps to take the edge off of my anxiety and depression. I felt a difference within days of taking my first dose, like I could breathe again and didn't have the weight of the world on my shoulders. What I will say though is that medication is never the complete answer. My medicines have allowed me to get to a stable enough place where I am able to deal with the underlying issues causing my depression and anxiety. Does help me feel more comfortable in my own skin." | 9 | September 4, 2014 | 57 | 99 |
63,544 | Epiduo | acne | "Since using Epiduo I broke out in painful cysts on my face. Which defeats the purpose of why I used it in the 1st place. 2 yrs ago I had the worst breakouts ever. But that stopped after 4 months on Aldactone. My skin went from breaking out in 4-5 big painful cysts on my face, to 1 tiny pimple around my period. I don%u2019t wear foundation, concealer, as my skins pretty clear, but not 100% clear. Which is WHY I asked my Dr for a topical treatment to remove old scars. But since applying Epiduo my painful cysts returned & it dried out my skin so bad, it%u2019s itchy. I used to use proactiv, which does clear scars, but Epiduo has the same ingredient 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide, so I%u2019m confused. Hopefully in the near future it does clears my scars, but I wish I never used Epiduo" | 1 | October 25, 2015 | 2 | 148 |
137,138 | Isotretinoin | acne | "Accutane has saved my life. My acne surfaced around 22 years old and from then on I've tried every salicylic and benzol product, retin-a and every other topical product from the dermatologist, and oral antibiotic known to mankind and nothing worked. I started accutane, now just starting month 4, and I have NO pimples! Only minimal scarring, but who cares as long as I don't have disgusting bumps and whiteheads all over my face! If you can get over the crazy dryness and chapped lips 24/7 you will be good. No joke I used to be able to count anywhere from 10-20 pimples on my face, now I am clear!!!! I'm so scared because I need to stop accutane a month early and pray my acne doesn't come back:(" | 9 | July 8, 2015 | 11 | 129 |
209,506 | Zubsolv | opiate dependence | "I have had GREAT success with Zubsolv! I started out on Suboxone Films, but the taste just got to be too much for me so my Doctor put me on Zubsolv instead. In my experience it is WAY better and I just celebrated my 1 year clean anniversary. I am CLEAN and enjoying life, please ask me any questions you have, if any, I would love to help!!! :)" | 10 | December 9, 2016 | 35 | 69 |
107,461 | Implanon | birth control | "I have had the Implanon for about 8 months and I bled for 2 months straight then spotted for 2 more months. Now that I have no period I have really bad cramps." | 4 | June 27, 2011 | 0 | 33 |
7,339 | Monistat 7-Day Combination Pack | vaginal yeast infection | "I'm 6 months pregnant and this is the first time I got an yeast infection. My STUPID doctor didn't give me any instructions I just used vagisil for the itching for a week. Finally she told me to use a anti-fungal cream so I tried Monistat.
After you insert it, the suffering is MONUMENTAL. OMG.
I put it in right before bed and lied on my back with my knees up for about 15 minutes. I swear it felt like my insides were on fire. On top of that the entire area feels SO ITCHY. It's SO intense. I've never felt anything that uncomfortable.
I'm giving it 8/10 because the next day the entire infection had really reduced and it kept getting better really quick. But every night I used it, the intense burning, itching crappy feeling lasted a good 15 min" | 8 | May 16, 2017 | 11 | 142 |
33,481 | Microgestin Fe 1 / 20 | birth control | "I'm 17 and this is my first birth control pill ever and I've only been on it for 4 weeks. I'm currently experiencing my first period on the pill. Before I was on birth control I had extremely terrible cramps as most people in my family do. However this period has been GREAT. No cramps and my flow is extremely light and easy. The only downside is that when I gain weight it sticks and stays which is abnormal because my weigh used to fluctuate and my attitude is a little bit more raw and sensitive. With that being said this pill was a great fit for me , I'd recommend it!" | 9 | December 24, 2014 | 6 | 112 |
202,566 | Lithium | bipolar disorde | "I have suffered from depression since I was 8 years old. I finally started going to therapy and taking antidepressants and various other psychotropic medications with no luck. Finally at 39 my internal medicine doctor suggested I try lithium CR 300mg once a day along with a SSRI antidepressant. I am going to be 45 next month and have only been in "the hole" five times. My doctor ups my SSRI during these episodes until I'm stabilized then I go back down when I feel it's safe. Lithium has been a life-saving medicine with minimal side-effects. Thirst and acne are worth it." | 10 | February 21, 2011 | 34 | 102 |
78,370 | Lyza | birth control | "I've been taking this pill for over a year now and the only side affects I've experienced are spotting and not exactly knowing when ill be getting my period. If I don't take the pill within my hour time frame, I'll usually encounter some spotting or even starting my period. I have migraines and I've found this pill to work really well for me. Other than that I feel this pill works good, but then again every brand of pill effects people differently." | 8 | March 17, 2015 | 6 | 83 |
158,399 | Methylphenidate | adhd | "I've been on this medication for over six months now for my severe ADHD. I take it as needed to get my studying done. Usually 10mg two or three times a day does the trick nicely. Before starting Ritalin I failed miserably at college and could never focus or study for more than 1 minute. Now I get near perfect scores across all my subjects. I take it in the evening (after 7pm) as this is when I get my work done. Also I experience no comedown or crash when I take it in the evening. This medication literally saved my life allowing me to continue my studies and pursue my interests. It hasn't lost it's effectiveness in over six months and I have very little side effects. God bless Novartis for inventing this life changing drug." | 10 | May 6, 2016 | 9 | 137 |

22,538 | Biotin | dietary supplementation | "PEOPLE YOU HAVE TO DRINK TONS OF WATER WITH THIS VITAMIN OR ELSE. Biotin will give you acne. It will cause severe headaches. It will make you nauseous, and you will complain it doesn't work and give up. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE DON'T GET RESULTS.
In reality your doing it wrong if your not getting enough water! It has worked wonders for me. I have lost hair due to medications and stress. I started noticing results in two weeks (eyelashes). Two months (scalp). And you will get hair growth everywhere. My hair has never looked more healthier." | 10 | October 14, 2014 | 63 | 97 |
56,957 | Ranitidine | gerd | "zantac worked somewhat with my chronic reflux, but what really worked was the 30 lb weight loss and the omision of pop. also, i decreased my coffeee intake by half and I have one tbl of baking soda in a glass of water every morning to raise the ph in my stomach. its not good to rely on acid reducers and proton pump inhibitors as over time you become deficient in many vitamins. they stop an enzyme in your stomach needed to absorb b12 from food as an example, and over time you will become enemic. this happened to me afters years of taking protonix and not knowing why I was tired all the time. Finally I had a naturopathic dr have blood work done and found this out. took 6 weeks of b12 injections to get back to normal, and lost 30lbs" | 7 | August 7, 2016 | 35 | 143 |

After.those two months, my periods started lasting longer and longer to up to 3 months long at a time. I hate everything about it. I'm gaining weight my acne is at its worst point and I have zero sex drive. I hate my life. Its living he'll. My cramps are so bad that I'm crying on my bed all day. Its a stabbing pain!! Honestly pregnacy sounds a lot easier than this.. The birth control ends up not being the stick in your arm but the person you become, from your looks to your personality.

Back then, nurses couldn't ask for medication for headaches we would be considered 'seekers'. Phenergan was a God send then. When Imitrex came out I thought I found the Holy Grail.

77,221 | Lorcaserin | obesity | "Just got back from my 90 day (really 87 days) Belviq status exam. So here is the data from the doctors office:
Weight from 261.5 to 236.0. That is down 25.5 pounds or 9.75%.
Glucose from 102 to 91 ml/dl. That goes from prediabetic to normal range.
A1c was 5.5%, but I do not have a baseline (0 day) value.
HDL for 23 to 30. Still low, but a lot better.
I also had one of my lowest BP readings in years at the doctors office.
My advice to new Belviq patients is that after starting Belviq my hunger goes away before I feel full. That is a new experience for me. Pay attention to the lack of hunger to know when to stop eating." | 10 | April 29, 2014 | 78 | 125 |
11,785 | Trulicity | diabetes, type 2 | "I was put on Trulicity because I had an allergic reaction to Medformin and Tragenta. I had so much anxiety about taking Trulicity after reading the reviews. I took my first shot on Thursday and today is Sunday. I have had minimal side effects. I felt a little achy in my shoulders and next but it only lasted 2 days. I have not had any of the other side effects. It does curb your appetite but not to where I can not eat. When I would wake up in the morning my readings would range from 140-158 and now that are around 110-115 which is amazing. I would wake up with headaches and no more headaches. I am very pleased with the results and very thankful for minimal side effects." | 9 | October 23, 2016 | 39 | 130 |

Just completely uncomfortable & restless with anxiety that would come and go but stayed with me much longer than it would stay away. I tried talking to local counselors & was very disappointed, as they were not educated on OCD. After a year of no luck with counselors, I found one (university counselor) who knew what I was going through & how to help me. Life is SO much better! I started at 50mg & currently take 200mg" | 10 | November 6, 2015 | 51 | 116 |
31,236 | Miconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "I agree with everone else regarding the intense itchy feeling and pain right after inserting the cream, but it gets better after about 20 minutes. The trick is to use anti-itch cream or anti-itch wipes right after you apply the cream. These wipes were heaven-sent.
My obgyn suggested the 7 day treatment because it's not as irritating as the 3 day one.
This product works despite its annoying side effects so do not stop using if you can. After 1-2 treatments, the itchiness stopped during the day." | 9 | September 17, 2016 | 17 | 87 |

205,174 | Pristiq | depression | "Pristiq has been the most effective drug I've came across in my life for this mental illness!

I am no longer taking and have been off the medicine this week. Following are reasons that I stopped taking it. I lost my job, got arrested, picked up a felony charge for prescription fraud, among other consequences due to my dependency on the drug. In short, DO NOT TAKE ANY FORM of Z -PILLS. I lost a very good job with the government and can no longer return to the job due to Ambien and Lunesta. I have a master's degree and still cannot find work due to the felony charge.

I was put on an AD and added this after a few weeks as the AD was not helping my anxiety or depression. I took 0.25-0.5mg twice per day most of the time and had to change my AD twice over the first several months to get on the right one. Klonopin helped me alot during this time. I finally went back to Pristiq which had worked several years prior for me and after a few months was back to myself and with my Dr's OK I weaned off of the Klonopin and have been of it completely for almost two months now. I was terrified to stop it since I heard so many horror stories of benzo withdraw but I had no withdraw just as my Dr. had thought. Good luck!" | 8 | April 29, 2015 | 63 | 148 |

Week passed and still no period but I did start experiencing abit of neasea and cramps. Nothing unbearable tho.

I am now taking 10 mg and it's been a week. I am experiencing sleep disruption, some nausea, I am now VERY regular and my joints and muscles are stiff and sore. I am finally seeing a glimmer of hope as far as my despair goes - so I am optimistic that the above side affects will go away and all will be well in my world again in a few weeks." | 7 | December 28, 2015 | 38 | 106 |

I didn't really notice a positive difference with any dosage but I did have an extremely detailed and horrific dream the first two nights but after that my sleeping was normal. As far as side effects other than the two night terrors I was slightly constipated. It took a lot more effort to make myself do #2.

28,812 | Lexapro | depression | "I was on Lexapro for about 7 years in doses that ranged from 10 to 20 mg (I altered the dose with permission from my physician depending on my circumstances). Overall, it performed well for me and I was generally able to deal with the side effects (the greatest for me: drowsy and difficulty concentrating). About a month ago I decided that I wanted to be drug-free because I am not currently in situations that contribute to depression. I abruptly went off Lexapro (not recommended; should have tapered down) and now find myself in an unpleasant territory (volatile; irritable; impatient; headaches). Not happy with the new me so Doctor has suggested I try Celexa (10 mg). Will post a review after I give it a try. Smile!" | 8 | July 27, 2010 | 8 | 127 |

I guess I'm just one of the very few people it doesn't agree with." | 5 | February 2, 2009 | 54 | 68 |
114,372 | Tacrolimus | atopic dermatitis | "My dermatologist prescribed Protopic 0.1% for a psoriasis related rash on my face. Steroid creams would give noticeable results after 1 application. The Protopic took about 2 days before I noticed a significant difference. By the 3rd day, I realized the Protopic was really working well. I am very happy with this medicine. It works better than the steroids without the side effects, and the effect seems to last longer. I can get by with one application every couple of days now. I do notice a little itching when using, but other than that, I have not noticed any side effects." | 9 | October 22, 2013 | 39 | 101 |

Helps me focus better and helps me have a positive frame of mind. Before taking Ritalin, I couldn't focus long enough to get past the first page of a novel. Now, I read novels consistently. When I started taking it in 92, I lost my appetite and couldn't sleep much, but I eventually adjusted to it. I have tried Dexedrine, Concerta, fish oil, herbs, magnesium, etc., but nothing comes close to it. I invented a board game as well." | 8 | March 26, 2016 | 66 | 101 |

I was a zombie from the medication combination I used to be on, zyprexa and depakote. Changing the zyprexa to rexulti gave me my life back. At first, it gave me side effects of dizziness and anxiety, but after stopping and trying again, its given me energy, concentration, and the mood swings and psychosis stopped.

When receiving chemo we would stay in the hospital for three days and even with the neulasta shot and all the IV anti nausea meds he still was sick. Finally he was prescribed marinol and it changed everything. The day we came home from the hospital after taking it he was well enough to go Frisbee golfing even with a drain in his leg! He never vomited again, and he actually got kinda chubby! The drug changed his attitude and I belive it gave him the strength he needed to fight his sarcoma.

I never threw up, but after a few minutes in bed I had to run to the bathroom when I was hit with a sudden need to go. I have been having explosive diarrhea for almost an hour.

I Had fever, more pain, & severe vomiting later that day that I actually fell to my knees with pain thinking I was dying... Horrendous.

My vision went blurry, my tongue was bleeding, sores would form and not heal on my arms, so thirsty, urinating every 15 mins etc. I have Type 2 diabetes and went on to Lantus as soon as the hospital released me. This is the best and safest way to keep your blood sugar levels normal. I have had control of my diabetes for 7 months now and it is so easy. Had to see an endocrinologist today and he tried to put me on Byetta and I told him no way will you change me from my Lantus Solostar as it never makes me feel bad and always makes me feel good and in control. Lantus is really great. " | 10 | February 27, 2013 | 32 | 130 |

I broke out right before my period in college but nothing too severe. I'm 24 now and in the Spring of this past year 2015, I started breaking out uncontrollably on my cheeks, which I had never even had acne with before. I also would get big ones on my head, temples, and still broke out with big pimples on my chin every month. I tried all of the natural things like tree oil and I tried changing my diet, taking anti biotics, every cream, lotion, face wash that you can get off the shelf and nothing worked. If you are desperate, this drug works. I have been on this medication since August 2015 and my face is 100% healed." | 10 | December 2, 2015 | 13 | 142 |

Have always had reflux but always kind of ignored it. Sometimes I'd wake up choking as I'd refluxed into my lungs while asleep. First i started this drug as prescribed taking 40mg every day and it instantly took away problems. But being a strong believer in not taking drugs if possible I stopped taking it every day. Now I only take it when I actually feel burning which might only be once or twice a month. And within minutes a feel better. Not saying to follow my lead but this works for me. I think using this drug as I am and getting the relief I'm getting is absolutely wonderful." | 10 | April 17, 2017 | 18 | 141 |

My doctor told me I could bleed for up to 6 months (it’s been 3) but I didn’t think that it would be CONSTANT. The first 2 weeks were awful. Given, I don’t have the highest pain tolerance, but I was truly in a lot of pain for about a month after. Getting the IUD put in was so painful for me. The actual process only took about 10 minutes, but I sat in the room being fanned by a poor nurse and her giving me juice so I didn’t pass out for an hour. Hopefully, after 6 months all will be normal and that the pain will be worth it." | 6 | November 13, 2017 | 1 | 127 |

190,182 | Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo | birth control | "It took me a bit to find a birth control that worked for me, but out of them all, tri-cyclen lo was the worst experience. I noticed weight gain in my stomach in the first 2 weeks to the point where my jeans wouldn't fit. I thought to myself that if this is the only problem, I will work with it. I was wrong -over the first 2months I became frustrated over the smallest things, lost motivation to be active, and became depressed that I wouldn't want to see anyone. I would cry myself to sleep not understanding why.. this pill took over my body (emotionally)-I became a different person and everyone in my life noticed it too. Getting off this pill was the best decision I made." | 1 | June 29, 2017 | 2 | 128 |

I did find out that if you have a problem with the patch not sticking, clean the area with rubbing alcohol before placing the patch and that helps it to stick just fine. Maybe that would also help the ones with the irritation as well. Worth a try anyway. A little crinkling noise is worth dealing with compared to dealing with overactive bladder. Another small issue is I feel that one patch is not as effective." | 9 | October 21, 2014 | 38 | 94 |

At first I thought of it as a worry free BC where I don't have to worry about taking a pill at a specific time each day. However, as the months of me using it piled up, so did my mood changes, killer cramps from hell, and increased anxiety. I'm depressed all the time, anxious all the time, and I get mad at my boyfriend for no reason at all. He's asked me to see a counselor. That's how bad it's been. I also have a decrease in sex drive, vaginal dryness, and discomfort when having intercourse. I spoke to my gyno about my situation and she suggested leaving the ring in for 4 weeks rather than 3.

I have gained a solid 8 pounds from this pill ( I believe it is mostly water retention and maybe some fat). I am extremely emotional on it and even have chest cramps.

If you're not concerned about your sex life, I'd highly recommend it. It does decrease sex drive. I switched to Remeron as a result. " | 9 | December 24, 2012 | 39 | 46 |
83,844 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "Contrary to the negative reviews on this birth control, I actually had a pretty positive experience. I had great skin, my periods were very regulated and short, I had some weight gain (I am skinny and did want to gain weight, so if you don't want weight gain I wouldn't suggest this). I think I only experienced mood swings during the first few months of taking this. I also experienced some migraines but those only lasted 2-3 months as well.
I was always bloated, but I'm not sure if that was due to the birth control or if it was just my diet. The only other thing I didn't like was that this gave me a very low sex drive. I usually had a higher sex drive the week of the sugar pills, so I assume this is because of the birth control." | 8 | August 29, 2017 | 0 | 143 |
147,581 | Aviane | birth control | "I have been on Aviane for about a year and I have had a lot of breakthrough bleeding. My period is not predictable like it is on most birth controls. I just called my doctor to get put on something else. I also got pretty bad headaches while on this birth control." | 3 | November 12, 2010 | 2 | 52 |
