13,632 | Amphetamine / dextroamphetamine | adhd | "Started taking Adderall about 3.5 years ago while in my early twenties for ADD. After already been diagnosed at around 7 my parents refused to put me on medicines. I was never able to sit still, go a day without being extremely restless in class, and many times was sent to the office for being loud. After extreme fatigue and no motivation to finish anything including zero motivation to work, depression, etc. I started Adderall. Has helped so much (at first) things got done, class/work was way smoother. And had interest in things I always struggled to absorb. Cons... tolerance builds fast. Sleep is a must or you feel like a corpse. (After the first few weeks sleep comes easier though.) Nervous. Jittery. " | 7 | March 29, 2012 | 19 | 124 |
118,185 | Naltrexone | alcohol dependence | "I guess I'm one of the lucky 4 out of 5 people that respond to the Sinclair Method (TSM) of Alcohol use disorder (AUD treatment) Completely cured of any and all cravings for alcohol within 6 months." | 10 | February 7, 2017 | 34 | 37 |
83,882 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | acne | "I was on orthotricyclen which really cleared my skin but my new doctor decided to switch Bc on me to trinessa and I've been getting more than the typical one or two on my cheeks. And I never break out on my forehead but I started to with trinessa. Trinessa is horrible in helping acne!!" | 3 | September 22, 2017 | 2 | 55 |
209,412 | Zomig | migraine | "I've used Zomig for around 4 years now, if taken as soon as recognise an attack I know that about 90 mins later the pain in head will go, longer if it's into the attack. I have always experienced, drowsiness and hyper sensitivity all over my skin, if I were to have a shower within 5 hours of taking Zomig my whole body feels like it's stinging, hot drinks feel like they are burning my throat, hand washing with hot or warm water is a no no. Also, if I eat within 5 hours it will feel like my taste buds have exploded, excruciating but brief pain. I also still get all the other migraine symptoms, stomach upset, fatigue, very irritable, even with the Zomig but I guess I can function with those things, it's the head pain and sickness that's worst." | 7 | April 29, 2014 | 11 | 142 |
37,415 | Vyvanse | adhd | "40mg Vyvanse kept me awake all day, however, from the moment I took the 30mg dose I could stay awake and focused for 12 hours strait and still sleep at night. If I had this medicine in High School my life today would be 100% different. I would have excelled in academics and done much better sports. " | 10 | January 30, 2014 | 64 | 58 |
120,600 | Dicyclomine | irritable bowel syndrome | "I have been taking bentyl for a month ..what a god send I take 10 mg two times daily. I have had no issues it stopped the cramps, stools are still irregular sometimes diarrhea I am new to IBS...going to talk to my Dr about what trigger foods cause it start" | 10 | March 30, 2017 | 12 | 51 |
227,933 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I have had the Implanon for almost a year and I love it. I do have random periods and have gone a few months with no period and then have had 4 periods in the last two months, and every once in a while I have spotting, so the bleeding is pretty random. It was important to me to not be on a birth control that makes your bones brittle, so I am extremely happy with the Implanon. I have had no side effects besides the random periods. My sex drive is the exact same, I haven't fluctuated in weight, no mood swings, no change in acne. I am extremely pleased with it and would recommend it to anyone." | 10 | June 23, 2011 | 0 | 119 |
214,951 | OxyIR | pain | "I'm a diabetic with peripheral neuropathy. I was started on 30mg Oxycodone Immediate Release 3 times a day and methadone 10mg 6 times a day. They have both worked wonders! Recently I developed bad infected foot ulcers and now have a hole on the side of my left foot and open sores/wounds at the bottom of both feet and my doctor upped my dosage to 30mg Oxycodone Immediate Release 6 times a day and Methadone 10mg 9 times a day and with the methadone, the Oxycodone has NO "high" effects. I am so happy my quality of life has raised and I am able to walk almost normally with little to no pain during most of the day. I have gone through the withdrawal by missing 5 days of both medications once and it is bad. Other than that, it is a God send!" | 9 | September 3, 2010 | 33 | 144 |
71,362 | Levora | endometriosis | "I've been on this for almost 5 years and I love it, in the last two years I've actually lost weight, my skin which used to be horrible with acne is nice and clear. The first few months were kind of rough, as it is when starting any birth control. The only downfall would be how sensitive my breasts can get when it's cold. Almost painful at times, but it's definitely eased over the years." | 9 | February 28, 2014 | 18 | 75 |
190,337 | Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo | birth control | "This pill did not go well with me. I took it for a week & felt bloated, got acne, headaches everyday, nausea! I would take the pill at 7pm so my stomach wouldn't be empty but I would wake up around 3am to wanting to vomit. I started it on a day 1 start & my period was so long and heavy, it didn't stop until I stopped taking the pill that week. But I tried taking it again since I've read that symptoms will usually go away after a few months. The 2nd time around I felt bloated & got a headache again the first day. The first night I woke up at 2am to throw up with a cold sweat I felt I would pass out. I'm going to look into something else. I can't function with this nausea & moodiness." | 4 | August 5, 2013 | 17 | 143 |
71,529 | Vraylar | bipolar disorde | "My daughter has been taking Vraylar for 3 weeks after trying MANY other meds for bp depression. The others had made no difference in her sadness, only side effects. 3 days after starting vraylar she is a new person. Happy, sleeping well. She has not needed Xanax since vraylar. Went from crying everyday to doing schoolwork, activities with friends. Only negative is the outrageous cost. Working on that as it is not at all affordable." | 8 | April 12, 2016 | 52 | 75 |
69,979 | Efavirenz / emtricitabine / tenofovir | hiv infection | "Did a great job lowering viral load (18,000 to <20 in 2 months) and my CD4 has increased from 280 to 987 in the year I've been taking it.
That being said I do suffer some side effects. Insomnia and hyper-realistic dreams/nightmares. I also get dizziness, sometimes severe, about two hours after taking it. The dizziness has been largely solved by ensuring I don't eat two hours prior to my dose. Then I eat right as I take my pill. Otherwise the medicine gives me terrible heartburn.
Now that I am stabilized I am going to discuss switching to Complera to escape the side effects." | 7 | August 3, 2013 | 23 | 105 |
190,913 | Tessalon Perles | cough | "I was really sick for a week and went in to see my doctor for cough that was uncontrollable. He first prescribed amoxicillin. That did not help with my cough. Then I was prescribed Tessalon Perles and it seemed to work. I was having itchiness all over my body. Also welts. I then realized it was the Tessalon Perles that was doing it. I stopped taking them. Now I don't itch but still have a cough." | 4 | October 21, 2014 | 32 | 76 |
200,250 | Varenicline | smoking cessation | "I smoked for 15 years. Chantix is a God send. However I had two rounds of it before I quit. It helps with the cravings and after a week on this medicine it makes the cigarettes taste awful, this was my mistake I kept smoking and got used to the change. Well fast forward another 6 months after I was off Chantix for a while I started again and stopped after about 2 weeks when the cigarettes started tasting funny again. And that was 7 years ago. I literally owe this medicine my life. My life that I can now spend more time with my daughter and she will not grow up around second hand smoke. It did give me nausea when I took it but only lasted from 20 minutes to an hour. But what is a little nausea compared to being able to stop smoking." | 10 | March 5, 2015 | 17 | 147 |
79,553 | Plan B One-Step | emergency contraception | "-April 20th- Unprotected sex
-April 23rd- Took plan B (about 60 hours after unprotected sex) That was the soonest I could get it. EAT BEFORE YOU TAKE THE PILL! Eating before prevents you from being nauseous. I read all sorts of horrible reviews so I was expecting the worst. Right after I took it I instantly became drowsy & increase in appetite. But that's about it. No nausea, no change in stool, no tender breast, nothing.
-April 29th- Spotting
-April 30th- I started my period today, which is a week early. But at least I started right!" | 10 | April 30, 2013 | 49 | 97 |
12,244 | Loryna | birth control | "My experience on Loryna has not been a good one. I originally had been on Yaz and Beyaz and had no issues at all! I thought they were miracle pills! I'm in my late thirties and wanted a birth control to help with my moods, breakouts, and period. Unfortunately, Loryna did the opposite for me. After five months of taking it I have decided to stop. I had bleeding for 2 months straight, acne breakouts on my chest, back, and face. And a ton of pain! As if my uterus was contracting constantly. I finished my last pack/pill and have stopped. Within 2 days of stopping, the bleeding stopped, the pain is gone and my skin is clearing up. I'm not sure why this happened but I'm finding generic birth controls are different from the brand. It's frustrating!" | 1 | January 23, 2016 | 2 | 138 |
187,752 | Dexamethasone | inflammatory conditions | "I have CIDP - currently taking dexamethasone 40mg (yes forty mg) daily over 4 consecutive days of the month. Side effects are horrendous tho thankfully my condition is improving. Insomnia, weight gain, swollen legs and feet, blurred vision, agitation, increased appetite and flushed face are the most debilitating but only last for 6 days after finishing last dose. Treatment plan is 6 months, I am on my fourth dose and as the months go on, the side effects are getting worse. Would I accept this treatment again.....probably not, but it does help my condition." | 8 | March 9, 2016 | 7 | 94 |
92,356 | Lyrica | migraine prevention | "I have tried several medications for Migraines and started Lyrica three months ago. Other than the weight gain I am very happy. Lyrica makes me feel ravenously hungry all the time. Actually, this past doctors appointment I was also prescribed Meridia and have experienced a loss in appetite and I hope this will get me back to a more comfortable weight." | 7 | May 10, 2008 | 67 | 61 |
225,719 | Bupropion | depression | "I used bupropion xl 150 only used for 1 week. This made me so angry and irritable that my family couldn't stand me. I took Pristiq before this and it did the same thing plus made me gain 15lbs in 2 weeks. I do not think antidepressants are for me. They just make me way too angry. Bupropion also gave me itchy rash everywhere, headaches and made me constantly feel hungry, also made me have really bad dizzy spells and twitches in my neck. All of this and it didn't help my depression at all, in fact I feel worse since I've started taking medicines than I did before. I know this works wonders for a lot of people but I am not one of them. " | 1 | May 6, 2012 | 35 | 127 |
217,751 | Strattera | adhd | "Strattera has proved to be quite beneficial for my cognitive performance. It has increased my memory, attention and organization of thinking. The side effects I've had have been nausea and trouble sleeping but as I keep taking it in sure it will subside more. I currently take 40 mg and working up to 80 mg." | 8 | February 29, 2016 | 20 | 55 |
128,102 | Phentermine | weight loss | "Hello, I started Phentermine 37.5 on 5/19/16 as of today 6/17/16 almost a month I have lost 16lbs. My starting weight was 200lbs and I now weigh 184lbs with a goal weight of 145. I do not exercise as I should so I'm sure I would lose more if I had the time. For the first week I had dry mouth and would feel a little drunk off and on and lost 11 of the 16 lbs. As for the second and third week I did not really feel like it was working and lost 1lb the second week and 4lbs last week. Funny today I get up and take my pill like every morning and today I feel like it is the first day again, I have dry mouth, a little drunk feeling and a ton of energy, not sure if that is normal but we will see" | 5 | June 17, 2016 | 16 | 149 |
228,558 | Geodon | bipolar disorde | "After horrible experiences with a multitude of different antidepressants, the realization came upon me that I was possibly bipolar due to a prolonged episode of what I thought could be mania. Well, my psychiatrist put me on Geodon (40 mg in the evening). So far, it's been 2 months and I have had not one depressive or manic episode during this time. The first 2 or 3 days of taking the drug were awful- I had terrible brain fog, and just felt totally whacked-out, but that feeling disappeared after just a few days, so I can't complain too much. I'm starting taking an additional 20 mg in the morning to hopefully curb some of my anxiety, so we'll see how that goes. As far as psych meds go, this one has reigned far superior so far!" | 8 | October 8, 2015 | 28 | 136 |
143,706 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I had the Nexplanon for the full 3 years and just recently had it extracted and replaced. This is the only form of birth control I've ever used and I've had a pretty solid experience. I love not having to remember to take anything. My periods are usually an average 80 days apart with lighter flow. I had mine inserted at Planned Parenthood both times and they did a pretty good job. They numbed my arm so I didn't feel anything and made sure to make a small hole for minimal scaring. I did have a short linear bruise for a few days but I barely notice it most of the time. Overall, it's a positive experience." | 10 | November 18, 2016 | 2 | 117 |
131,121 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I had Mirena put in after my second child. I don't notice any of the side effects listed. The only thing I am worried about is anxiety. I've been dealing with anxiety since what seems like when I had it put in. My periods are extremely light (panty liners only) but last more days than before having Mirena." | 5 | March 13, 2009 | 12 | 58 |
104,343 | Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel | birth control | "I'm on my second pack. I have not take birth control in years but my doctor recommended it to help with my endometriosis. Previously I had cramps, no cramps now. No spotting, period came as scheduled with the pills. No headaches. I have noticed some acne but nothing to worry about really. I have gained weight, about 10 pounds, and went up 1 bra size, without any change in diet or my exercise program. I find that I am hungry all the time and not sure how to lose these 10 pounds without going on a very strict diet. Other than the weight, I'm very happy with Jolessa." | 8 | August 15, 2012 | 7 | 108 |
168,174 | Jolessa | birth control | "I've been on Jolessa for about 45 days now. My insurance wouldn't approve the original brand, which my RN mother-in-law says is better, but I've read about other women spotting on Seasonique too so its probably more personal experience. Light spotting at least every few days and I still got a period even after my first month which lasted about 10 days as opposed to my short, but very painful ones. On the plus side, I didn't even know the period was coming like I usually do: no severe cramps, mood swings, PMS, etc... On the down side, I have zero sex drive. But overall, I feel very "calm" with less anxiety. Not sure about weight gain, perhaps a few pounds but I'm making an extra effort to eat better and exercise." | 6 | October 14, 2009 | 4 | 132 |
159,092 | TriNessa | birth control | "I've been taking Trinessa Low for over a year now. I'm 19 started at 18. It is terrible for about the first 2 months. Bloating, nauseous, breast growth, drained sex drive from 8/10 to a 1/10. However, it is very effective and forgiving. The symptoms don't go away fully but do mild down after the two months. Still have about no sex drive." | 4 | February 6, 2017 | 3 | 63 |
224,812 | Bupropion | depression | "I stopped taking effexor after being on it for five years. Worked great but it was keeping me up at night, had to skip a dose to have a decent sleep. So I reduced to the lowest dosage before completely going off with the help of my doctor, in the hopes I didn't need anti depressants anymore. Was ok for a few weeks and boom, super depressed, suicidal, the works. So I was prescribed wellbutrin and mirtazepine for sleep. The wellbutrin worked right away and mirtazepine was great for sleep. But it only worked well for a few months. Started redeveloping social anxiety, panic attacks, fits of rage, suicidal thoughts and all that fun stuff. I went to a new doctor and he basically told me that wellbutrin isn't good for anxiety lol. Good to know!" | 3 | January 22, 2017 | 33 | 136 |
190,650 | Oxybutynin | overactive bladde | "Have used this for 3-1/2 years. It seemed to lose effectiveness after 2-1/2 years. But it is still helpful. I still go frequently and get up 2-3 times at night (vs 3-4 times), but it takes "the edge off" and I can wait longer and feel less urgency. I take 5mg at night. I've stopped taking it for 60 days at a time on two separate occassions and I can clearly see the medicine helps a lot." | 8 | January 23, 2015 | 30 | 77 |
92,098 | Lyrica | ibromyalgia | "I have been on Lyrica for 5 years and it has changed my life so much. I had pain all over and could not figure out why. I went through so many test and procedures to help and nothing did. I found a Dr. who put me on Lyrica 50mg three times a day and after a couple of days being dizzy I realized that my pain was almost gone. I am now taking 150mg three times a day and I have my life back. I have gained weight because food taste great now. Make sure you never run out though. It happened to me on vacation and I was so sick from withdrawal. It is the worst feeling in the world, all the pain was back and I felt like I had the worst flu ever. As soon as I got home and got my refill I was fine. Great medicine, but they do need to tell you more about withdrawal. I love Lyrica." | 10 | February 21, 2012 | 49 | 165 |
154,425 | Zorvolex | pain | "We'll I have been on this medication for 7 months now. At first it worked well for my pain. Your body has to get used to it . This medication works well for my joint pain in back and knees. It will work for headache also. But these past 2 months I've had terrible side effects. I get these stomach pains from hell. I get sick and throw up. The stomach pain is unbearable . Taking the 18mg. 3xs a day sometimes only able to take 1 a day with food for sure and the stomach pain will come. Also has caused upper respiratory infection 2xs now." | 8 | January 28, 2017 | 8 | 107 |
62,170 | Citalopram | anxiety and stress | "For the past few years I think I have suffered from anxiety. Couldn't really put my finger on it until thanksgiving day. Everything was fine until it hit me out of no where. I remember feeling like my future was doomed. I couldn't concentrate, I felt like I wasn't myself. I completely lost it. It was like I was losing grasp of every aspect of my life. I cried and thought I was losing my sanity. It was the scariest thing I had ever experienced. After seeing 2 doctors the medicines they prescribed either didn't help or maybe my anxiety got the best of me but finally my mom made me go to the ER and they gave me Celexa. The side effects where pretty bad but I stuck it out and I must say that almost 3 weeks in I'm feeling back to myself." | 9 | December 31, 2013 | 153 | 145 |
37,070 | Librium | alcohol withdrawal | "I was a very heavy drinker for 7 years. It got to the point to where I was drinking 18-24 beers a night. I would drink right after I would wake up because I'd be shaking. Decided I needed to stop. Went to my doctor and he gave me Librium. He told me I can take up to 300mg a day. I took 125mg each day for 3 days. This medicine worked wonders. I had virtually no withdrawal whatsoever during the 3 days. I recommend this to anyone that wants to quit drinking without going to a detox center." | 10 | December 14, 2011 | 58 | 99 |
188,100 | Symbyax | bipolar disorde | "I took Symbyax a few years ago for a month. It
was great made me feel happy again and happy about life. Since I suffer real bad mood swings and other stress related issues I stop taking it and it and have not been good without it. Started taking it again. The only knock is you get a crazy appetite and can gain weight if you don't workout and Cotton mouth for days but other than that its a miracle." | 10 | February 13, 2013 | 34 | 80 |
197,174 | Paroxetine | depression | "I am on my first week of it and I feel good. I had anxiety, depression and obsessive compulsive disorder. I would like to up my mg soon though. It kind of gives me an I don't care outlook on a lot of little things that would stress me out highly." | 6 | July 14, 2014 | 17 | 51 |
22,980 | Apremilast | psoriatic arthritis | "I started this in March, by The end of Aug this med stopped working. It did a pretty good job of clearing up the Psorisis but my joint pain is thru the roof. My hands are progressively getting worse. It doesn't touch my RA. Instead of taking me off of it my Rheumy added MTX which I don't tolerate well. So I'm taking myself off. I got so bloated, and gassy thru the starter pack. I GAINED 20lbs! Not sure if it's the med or my increase in pain has me sidelined. I currently have tons of congestion which I have had for 3 months! DONE WITH THIS STUFF

230,297 | Meloxicam | rheumatoid arthritis | "22 year old female diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatologist switched me from regular higher dose naproxen to meloxicam. All the pain relief I had been having with the naproxen disappeared when I switched over. Got off work the other day to find that I had some rectal bleeding as well. I suffer from depression as well and am medicated for it, but the second I started taking this drug my symptoms got much worse. I believe the meloxicam is causing a big bunch of problems for me, and I only just started taking it." | 1 | July 27, 2016 | 15 | 94 |
174,897 | AndroGel | hypogonadism, male | "Was on Androgel for 4 months, noticed very little difference in libido, energy, etc. At 45 years old, I was hoping for a bit more benefit. I decided after consulting with my doctor to get injections. This too has been somewhat underwhelming. I am not looking for huge improvement in mood, libido, etc., but I can't honestly say I have seen much difference on it or off it." | 3 | February 4, 2011 | 26 | 68 |
189,311 | Oxycodone | chronic pain | "I take oxycodone as a replacement for OxyContin which is no longer covered by my insurance. It is as effective, but I have to take it 4 or 5 times a day instead of 2 and have to always carry some with me. I can only tolerate it from one manufacturer. If I receive a different "brand", the adverse effects are immediate. Dizziness, drowsiness and nausea. I Don't know why this is, and am trying to find out. The problem is that the pharmacy cannot always get the brand I need and I don't know why. The other problem is the pharmacy is only allotted a certain quantity and will run out. I have reduced to total mg I take per day since taking the oxycodone vs. the OxyContin. I just wish I could be assured of receiving the same brand each time." | 9 | March 25, 2014 | 58 | 143 |
179,376 | Olanzapine | schizophrenia | "I have tried many meds Seroquel, Risperidone, Abilify. Seroquel have me peeing all night long, burning sensation like urinary tract infection. Abilfy sex was good but give me anxiety, fast heart rate, light headed feeling, fainting and insomnia. So far Zyprexa is the best for me. Sex is ok, having problem with sensual sensation, dizzy sometime. Now I am on 2.5 mg I still feel dizzy even without it you feel better if you take the pill. Weight gain 30lb. Triglyceride high." | 8 | December 1, 2012 | 30 | 82 |
43,751 | Acetaminophen / codeine | pain | "I have been taking this medicine now for over 13 years. I used to take as much as 9 #4 a day. I now take only 4 pills a day. I get very bad pains in my feet because of being a diabetic, I have stopped getting pain by not waiting until the pain starts. It helps me sleep and most of the time it prevents the pain from starting. " | 7 | October 10, 2011 | 7 | 71 |
48,301 | Tarceva | non-small cell lung cance | "My husband, never smoker, diagnosed May, 2014, with Stage IV cancer in both lungs, was found to have a mutation and started Tarceva immediately. Still going strong after 3 years! Able to do all activities he did before. We feel extremely fortunate." | 10 | June 10, 2017 | 24 | 42 |
168,600 | Vilazodone | major depressive disorde | "Horrible!l! I'm 36 and have NEVER been like this. I stared at a razor blade for 10-15 minutes before I realized what was going on. I called my doc as soon as they were open. I was a zombie. I was crying for zero reason, this drug did the exact opposite of what it's supposed to do." | 1 | January 29, 2017 | 37 | 57 |
222,364 | Betamethasone | atopic dermatitis | "I have severe cracking of my feet and toes and two weeks daily of using the medication once a day after bathing and drying my feet ... things have cleared up almost completely!! I wear work boots and cotton socks six sometimes seven day per week and my feet really suffer...Thanks for the Betaderm." | 10 | February 4, 2017 | 3 | 54 |
90,272 | Vicodin | pain | "Basically, Vicodin worked very very well for me when I got the two right wisdom teeth pulled. HOWEVER, when I got the left two pulled about a year later, and was on Vicodin, the pain was still so horrid that I couldn't sleep and it was all I could do, not to cry." | 5 | May 25, 2010 | 3 | 53 |
147,497 | Alprazolam | anxiety | "I really can't say enough about how good this medicine is for my condition. I have tried many other types of medicines out there for anxiety and panic disorder: such as Zoloft, Paxil, Effexor and Buspar. None of them came close to helping me. Xanax does the trick for me and even though I am prescribed the 1mg pills it only takes a half of one to make me feel "normal" again. A " | 10 | August 7, 2009 | 1 | 74 |
135,503 | Tamiflu | influenza | "Felt achy, feverish and developed a cough out of no where, for about a day, that night extremely fatigued. Went to Dr on my 2nd day, diagnosed with Flu after a swab. Started Tamiflu that night, learned not to take on empty stomach, horrible diarrhea. After day 3, no more fever, fatigue almost gone. Still have stuffy nose and cough a lot better. It works, and it works well. Just remember drink fluids and eat something before taking it, even if it's a slice of bread. No other side effects." | 10 | January 26, 2015 | 14 | 90 |
158,423 | Methylphenidate | adhd | "Love this. I was first prescribed 27 mg and seen no changes but with the 54 it is perfect. I am able to focus and do things and not get irritated with background noise." | 10 | August 4, 2015 | 24 | 34 |
29,643 | Topiramate | tourette's syndrome | "I have Tourette's Syndrome and ADHD. Tried different kinds of medicines for my TS. Depending on my day, I could have some to a lot of tics. Topamax did wonders for my tics, but it can have side effects that are similar to ADHD symptoms - different remembering some words/names when asked, unable to concentrate, etc. I also experienced that my thought-pattern were kind of limited to a certain degree, as I would sometimes have difficulties thinking further ahead. This medicine however, was much better than other kinds I've tried. " | 7 | April 10, 2013 | 28 | 91 |
97,660 | Methimazole | hyperthyroidism | "After being diagnosed with Grave's Disease, my doctor prescribed methimazole to bridge my symptoms until my procedure to "kill" my thyroid. I noticed I no longer had extreme stomach pains and the shaking improved considerably. However, after a month of being on the medication I broke out in itchy, uncontrollable hives. Benadryl didn't even get rid of them. Once I stopped taking methimazole they went away after about 48 hours but the itching was still prevalent. Now my stomach pains are back and the shaking is worse." | 7 | March 23, 2013 | 45 | 87 |
194,234 | Nebivolol | mitral valve prolapse | "This medication works great for my high blood pressure (when I first started Bystolic it brought both numbers down tremendously) and a small leak (Mitral Valve Prolapse) The flutters in my chest weren't as frequent as they used to be." | 9 | March 7, 2010 | 29 | 40 |
64,953 | Saphris | bipolar disorde | "Was given the 5mg in October 2011, Black Cherry flavor after a hospitalization. Took three days, but I finally felt normal. The taste is absolutely dreadful. The worst side effect was that it made me sleep and sleep and sleep, to the point were I wasn't able to function during the daytime, so I stopped taking it. Haven't been on it in several months, but NEED IT!
Have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow and hope that perhaps there is a newer, extended release version on the market, as without the more unpleasant side effects. " | 9 | March 21, 2012 | 11 | 96 |
219,867 | Amitriptyline | pain | "I have had chronic pain since I was about 11 yrs old, I'm 43 now, due to a genetic blood disease. It's caused arthritis that's led to neuropathy, spine degeneration, and many damaged joints.
I have been taking toradol and gabapentin for nerve pain for almost 3 years. Recently a bleed in my feet caused extensive nerve damage that would make my feet burn at night. My doctor added 50 mg of Elavil to my bedtime meds and after 6 weeks I notice a significant improvement. It has been 3 months and 90% of my foot pain and numbness is gone. I have also noticed an overall improvement in my face pain and back pain.
I am lucky enough to not have any notable side effects." | 9 | March 18, 2017 | 52 | 126 |
202,079 | Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin | acne | "No acne just blemishes after shower and leave pimples. Only get red cheeks and raised pimple when hot.
Doctor gave me this to try. Applied first lot tonight. See how it goes ...." | 6 | March 22, 2016 | 0 | 33 |
206,690 | Levalbuterol | asthma, acute | "I previously used MaxAir (perbuterol) for over 30 years, which works noticeably better than this stuff. I get a paradoxial spasm from albuterol, can't take it. But the Einsteins here decided to discontinue perbuterol because not enough people use it, to justify making it! Someone at FDA even told me to take albuterol anyway! This stuff is better than nothing. If you can't take albuterol for whatever reason, this is the only rescue replacement." | 8 | April 19, 2017 | 2 | 74 |
6,416 | Ocella | birth control | "I was on Yaz before and did just fine on it. They switched me to Ocella four months ago and said that it was the same but I am having such a hard time on it. I bleed heavy, cramp and have migraines for at least 10 days. It knocks me off my feet to where all I can do is stay in bed all day. I have to use double protection when on my period. I bleed so much the first month that I almost had my husband take me to the ER. I instead started taking iron pills to help me recover from my period. With all the scare on blood clots in the news I just called and asked my doctor to switch me to something else. The other thing was that I have zero sex drive and I can't lose weight." | 1 | January 19, 2012 | 1 | 145 |
13,179 | Sinemet | restless legs syndrome | "I suffer from restless legs syndrome since 14 years ago and been taking Sinemet since. The only medication that works for me but only lasts for 2 to 3 hours then need to take again. For about nearly 2 years I came to realize that after eating food or drink contain msg/monosodiom glutamate - 621,627 which will contribute my suffering so if I eat less of this and will be less suffering. " | 8 | January 20, 2012 | 43 | 73 |
20,136 | Macrobid | urinary tract infection | "I can't say whether or not this was successful at treating my UTI because I had to stop on the third day. I was experiencing severe side effects, including chest pain and numbness in my hands and arms. Also it was rather expensive, even with my insurance, after I stopped taking it my doctor prescribed Keflex which worked and was only $2.00 a month." | 2 | November 24, 2015 | 12 | 64 |
36,022 | Buprenorphine / naloxone | opiate dependence | "I was addicted to pain killers for so many years I can't remember. Day after day I always was looking for my next fix. Late for work or couldn't make it in, upon other things. Life was a struggle with not knowing where to turn. Finally I decided to look for a doctor who gave me the Suboxone. I am at work everyday and on time. The people around me notice a change and I feel great. I will be married in one week and have never been happier. So if you are reading this and wondering if this could work for you, I say yes. If it worked for me a hopeless junkie then I know it can work you." | 10 | December 7, 2010 | 15 | 121 |
189,214 | Oxycodone | chronic pain | "On June 7, 2016 my pain management doctor put me on 5 mg oxycodone, twice a day with 15 mg of MS Contin at bedtime. So far the oxy seems to be helping me with my chronic back pain but does not last long. When I see him again in 4 weeks I am going to ask for a higher dose or to take a couple more per day. I'm a newbie at the clinic where he is at now and I think he is just trying to see what works and what doesn't since I haven't seen him in about 3 years.
The downfalls for this med is I sometimes get itchy and the risk of addiction." | 7 | July 11, 2016 | 11 | 118 |
1,963 | Polyethylene glycol 3350 | constipation | "Worked great for my 7 year old daughter who has been constipated for a very long time. She did not fight me to take and produced results with in 3 hours. My daughter was very happy not to have pain." | 9 | December 6, 2008 | 8 | 40 |
4,442 | Belviq | weight loss | "Okay so it has now been 8 days and I have lost 10 pounds. I have been making much better choices with my meal plans so this medication has worked better for me than phentermine. On 1/16/17 I weighed in at 181.00 and 1/24/17 @ 171.00. In the past 2-3 days I have experienced minor headaches and so ibuprofen 800mg took them away. Don't forget to eat about an hour before you do a cardio or weight workout. Yesterday, I ate only one full meal of steak and rice at 12:30PM and drank a few protein drinks (premier protein). After working out I tanned for 6 min then I went to the steam room for 15 min and 5 min in the sauna. After that I felt so nauseous that anything I could think of to eat made me want to throw up but this medicine really works.." | 10 | January 24, 2017 | 32 | 148 |
223,394 | Cetirizine | urticaria | "I suffer from acute symptoms of psoriasis and Keibners phenomenon with severe itching. I also have asthma, coughing constantly. I'm newly diagnosed with psoriasis so I couldn't figure out what was going on with the severe itching and what was triggering my rashes. After seeing 5 other doctors, I went to an allergist and he suggested to take Zyrtec. I didn't think it would help but it really does. It doesn't cause me drowsiness but it wears off after 12 hrs and my itching from psoriasis comes back. My rheumatologist suggested to take one in the morning and one at night. It helps with the severe itching. It stops my coughing as well." | 9 | February 10, 2011 | 35 | 113 |
164,348 | Diclofenac | osteoarthritis | "I take 75 MG of Diclofenac twice a day for osteoarthritis predominately in the knees. I am a 44 year old male employed full time and spend long periods of time on my feet quite frequently.I can not say enough how much this drug improved my life. My knee pain was getting so bad I thought I was going to need replacement surgery. I can take long walks and run up the stairs again. One caution is to make sure you eat with food and drink plenty of water throughout the day. A glass of milk and a banana does the trick. t will give you an upset stomach if you don't." | 9 | June 8, 2016 | 40 | 112 |
42,926 | Xulane | birth control | "I first was using the pill and that made me have my period for 2-3 weeks straight. I don't know why I didn't just get the patch in the first place! I love the patch. It's one less responsibility I have to deal with. I've been using it for 3 months now and so far I never had a pregnancy scare. The downfall of this (because of the type of person) I get every symptom. I got rashes, I threw up before, my boobs get so tender when my period comes (but that always happened even before taking the patch), and my mood swings are crazy! But this only happens when I put the patch on after taking the week long break. After a couple of days I'm perfectly fine. I do recommend the patch though. Just because I get all the symptoms doesn't mean you will :)" | 7 | June 9, 2015 | 6 | 148 |
122,465 | Linaclotide | irritable bowel syndrome | "I took Linzess earlier this year when I was constipated constantly from IBS and gastroparesis. It either gave me diarrhea or didn't work. Then my bowels normalized for a while so I quit taking it.
About two weeks ago, the constipation started again, so I began taking it again. This time it was wonderful. I haven't had diarrhea; instead, it gives me a regular bowel movement each day and I don't have to stay at my house for several hours after I take it to make sure I stay near a bathroom. I'm on the higher dose of it. This is the way I had hoped it would work from the beginning." | 9 | May 20, 2017 | 23 | 112 |
227,213 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I've had the Implanon in my arm for 3 years now ending next month April 2014. I will have it removed and not continue to use it. There are pros and cons. Pros: of course I am not pregnant so if you want a trust worthy contraceptive and don't mind the side effects then this is it. However, when I got it in inserted in 2011, I was 19. I broke out like crazy gained a lot of weight didn't have my period for like a year and then it would come like 4 times a year. Most importantly I feel like I am crazy! I have crazy mood swings when I think of sex I just want to throw up (hence sex drive gone). I want to be normal again. I give it an 8 because it's a great product. To me acne weight gain is not a problem and I never got pregnant having sex." | 8 | March 1, 2014 | 12 | 157 |
202,571 | Lithium | bipolar disorde | "I have severe bipolar disorder. I have taken it all and then some and when it came down to the bottom line my doctor and I decided to go old school. Without Lithium, I cannot imagine where I would be. I also take an anti-depressant and a bit of Xanax for anxiety, and I admit I still have a little problem with anger but no where near as bad as it was. " | 10 | October 8, 2008 | 61 | 73 |
192,875 | Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol | birth control | "This pill is exactly as the commercial explains, specifically for PMDD and birth control. After reading a lot of the other reviews, I had to chime in. For those of us who are unfortunate enough to be a mess for 3 out of 4 weeks a month, this pill is a miracle. Insurance decided they weren't going to cover much of it (I ended up paying $20, then $40 per pack, per month) and then once I lost my insurance, I loved the effects so much and how I felt on it that I forked over $64 a month for a few months until it was just way too steep. This pill is NOT for the casual "I just don't need a baby right now" birth control user! It is for women with serious emotional and physical side effects related to PMS!!!" | 10 | January 4, 2010 | 26 | 142 |
30,614 | Miconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "Monistat 7 is great. It does not cause burning like the 1 or 3 day version. It might be the burning everyone has experienced may be because you have a bacterial infection instead. Just make sure when using Monistat 7, that you are in fact treating a yeast infection. Good luck!" | 10 | October 13, 2017 | 1 | 51 |
94,670 | Abilify | major depressive disorde | "5 days - from non functioning depressed to living and enjoying life! I had no side effects starting the medication and noticed a moderate improvement by day 2. By day 5 / remarkable difference! My history is 20 yrs on ssri's and no improvement. Spent 9 months this year completely non functioning. Tried rispiridone and that caused lactation and sedated me. Pdoc put me on 60 mg Prozac +5 mg abilify and I feel like myself! Not sedated, not wired, just normal happy me! Miracle!" | 10 | September 15, 2015 | 23 | 85 |
97,985 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I love it. It is a very effective product. I have had it for 1 year as of September 4th 2015. Bare with it! The beginning sucks. Spotting was insane, super long periods, and and back to back periods. After a few months, nothing. I haven't spotted or had a period in 3 months. My face is clear. No weight gain. Mood swings around the time I'm supposed to be on my period and minimal acne around that time as well. I've recommended this to many of my friends and they all say the same thing. If you can handle the initial spotting etc. It is perfect plus its changed every 3 years!!! Awesome." | 9 | September 10, 2015 | 6 | 114 |
91,861 | Lyrica | neuropathic pain | "I've had 6 spine surgeries in 5 yrs. I suffer from neuropathy and nerve pain to severe levels. With this new trend, by an insensitive Congress, to take away opioids I couldn't imagine being without Lyrica. The only side effect is memory loss, only short term memory. I don't mind. If you suffered my pain you wouldn't either. I've never felt high and taken it for 5 yrs. 75mg x 3 daily. I'm grateful for it. I would suffer so bad w/o it." | 8 | May 12, 2017 | 35 | 83 |
179,463 | Olanzapine | bipolar disorde | "I've been taking this for about week and I already feel the side effects. I can't make any major choices because I'm so far from the 4 week point but I wont give it a bad name because we suffer from depression and bi-polar and if we expect the worst we will get the worst." | 7 | August 30, 2009 | 16 | 55 |
56,664 | Elavil | ibromyalgia | "I started taking Elavil at the onset of my Fibromyalgia in 1997, had great sleep and was able to continue my work and study without pain. In early 2010 I read the side effects of the medicine and recognized what was happening to me. I had been falling for no reason, broke an ankle, lumbar vertebrate, thumb and many bruises. I had dry mouth so bad could hardly talk, could not remember my words I wanted to say, and lost all sex drive. I slowly removed myself off of the Elavil with the help of my doctor. I have had lots of pain since February 2010 and cannot find a medicine to help me with my sleep and pain, but I will not use Elavil again. I have not fallen, lost my memory or had any other side effects of this medicine since." | 6 | November 2, 2010 | 80 | 143 |
196,742 | Paroxetine | anxiety | "I started Paxil approx 3 weeks ago and my life started changing for the better about 2 weeks into it. I feel my social anxiety dissolving, I didn't realize how depressed I was, but life is starting to look so much brighter. I suffered with bad pe which made sexual intimacy impossible, and this has pretty much gone away. I am becoming more outgoing and able to express myself to others and working hard to remove everything in my head which caused my anxiety by talking with my spouse and others in my family. I am also becoming much more comfortable in social situations. I sure hope in continues, because I can't imagine going back to my old self. I had bad nausea and was so tired the first week, but so worth it." | 10 | June 25, 2017 | 31 | 134 |
45,864 | Phendimetrazine | obesity | "I'm 40 yrs old, very active eat right but couldn't shed the pounds. I'm 5'3 178 lbs. I started taking the medicine on Tuesday it's now Saturday and I lost 10lbs! You have to keep drinking water, make sure you eat within 45 min of taking the medicines and eat 5xs a day. You won't want to, but make sure you do. You haven't experienced any side effects except a little headache, nothing bad enough where I wanted to stop taking it. I wish I would've started this months ago!" | 10 | May 10, 2014 | 143 | 90 |
82,615 | Liraglutide | diabetes, type 2 | "Went off of Byetta in July, 2009 -- never felt quite well and the inconvenience of timing injections with meals did not work for me. Remained on Metformin ER only along with intense exercise and low carb diet. Blood sugars started creeping up, and in February, 2010, I visited my endo to ask to try Victoza. My insurance company, Aetna, took a while to authorize, and I took my first dose of Victoza on Thursday, April 1st. Today, April 4th, I increased my dose from 0.6 to 1.2. I have not felt much nausea (just a feeling of fullness) at either dose. I love the convenience of just 1 injection when I get up in the morning and not having to make sure I eat within a certain time limit, as with Byetta. Have lost about 6 lbs so far. More to come." | 10 | April 4, 2010 | 42 | 143 |
130,582 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I am 25 yrs old, no kids and have never been pregnant. After almost 10 years of being on the pill, my doctor and I decided it was time for some thing different. Insertion was very painful, the first one we were trying was faulty so I had to purchase another one right after to be placed. It was extremely uncomfortable, even after being advised to take 800mg of Motrin! I had my boyfriend bring me to and from the doctor, which I would recommend. After I got home I placed a heating pad on my lower abdomen and slept for about 2 hrs! After I woke up I felt like a completely different person! I had no aches or pains, back to normal! I would highly recommend this to any woman, there's no more remembering! I love it!" | 10 | May 7, 2012 | 1 | 139 |
69,526 | Buprenorphine | opiate dependence | "It is a wonder drug for me it saved my life. It is so worth taking if you use as doctor tells you and finish the program. And must have the will to stop opiates." | 10 | June 14, 2015 | 42 | 35 |
173,260 | Clonazepam | panic disorde | "I have been on it for about two months and it truly works for those panic attacks. Really good, and is not as addicting as Xanax! I would recommend for panic and anxiety." | 10 | August 6, 2009 | 27 | 33 |
165,620 | Levonorgestrel | emergency contraception | "At first I was really curious about taking it because I was way over the the weight limit (235) to be exact. But it worked I was really worried I cramped really bad like my first pregnancy so of course I thought it didn't work but I wanted to wait to see if I got my period and I did. Great product if you need back up 5 thumbs up" | 10 | April 25, 2017 | 12 | 70 |
140,510 | Escitalopram | anxiety | "I have been taking this for almost three months for my anxiety. Since I started taking it I have had several headaches, been unable to sleep, had several severe panic attacks, had many small panic attacks, and have felt no difference in my anxiety levels. Maybe this is just my experience but I would not recommend this medicine for anyone with anxiety or panic disorders." | 1 | November 2, 2016 | 5 | 65 |
82,544 | Liraglutide | obesity | "This drug makes me so lethargic I can't drive for fear of falling asleep at the wheel. I can barely get out of bed. This got worst when my MD upped the dose to 1.8, I think maybe I should go back a dose. I lose 5lbs in 4 weeks, but I haven't decided its worth since I am so fatigued I can't function on a normal level. Most days I can't even get out of my pajamas but it is the only sympton I have experienced. My MD said he had not heard this complaint from any other patient." | 7 | July 7, 2010 | 69 | 100 |
165,404 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "Wanted to share my insertion of Kyleena. I had a nurse practitioner insert mine. I took 800mg of ibuprofen prior to appointment. I only felt two sharp cramps during the whole process. One when she measured and two when it was inserted. Took less than 2 minutes for the entire procedure. I would describe the whole procedure as mildly uncomfortable. I immediately could sit up and drive myself home. It's been about 3 hours now and all I feel is a little crampy. I had mine placed during my period. Would do it again, especially since it lasts 5 years!" | 8 | June 16, 2017 | 3 | 100 |
122,242 | Venlafaxine | depression | "I went through a very bad depression state a few weeks ago. I went to the hospital and they put me on 75mg of Effexor-XR and increased it to 150mg after a week. I had severe bladder cramps and waterworks problems while on the higher strength. My doctor reduced the dosage to 37.5mg once every 2 days. I now feel fantastic. One of the main things I have noticed since taking this medication is this. For about 35 years I have suffered with extreme pain from T.M.J(an inner ear problem). Since I have been taking this medication the T.M.J. has gone and I can sleep 8 hours at night, the first time since I was a baby which is 53 years ago." | 10 | March 5, 2009 | 42 | 122 |
161,727 | Remeron | depression | "I have ADHD, OCD, and depression. The moment I took this medication my intrusive thoughts from OCD went away. I am no longer depressed, even when life should be getting me down. Everything seems bearable. I just feel like things are okay, I can make it. I've never felt like this before, really. Most of the time I get overwhelmed with life but I think this medication has pulled me out of the dark hole I was in before. It does make me very hungry and sleepy, I take it in the evenings. It's hard to get up in the morning but coffee fixes that for me. I don't recommend this to someone who can not control their eating habits and gains weight easily." | 9 | February 17, 2013 | 212 | 124 |
85,753 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "I love this birth control! I am usually really moody for some reason and starting this I am constantly happy and less stressed for some reason, I had a very heavy first period but all is well now. Highly recommend" | 9 | January 30, 2014 | 16 | 40 |
191,276 | Lisdexamfetamine | adhd | "I have been taking Vyvanse on and off for a little over 2 years. I am currently taking 70mg. It really helps me focus and multi-task at work. It also has helped with my anxiety and I am able to tackle things that normally I would try to stay away from doing because of my anxiety. I usually take it during the weekdays and not take it on the weekends because I can go 10 to 12 hours without eating and barely having anything to drink because my appetite is not there. I've lost 95 pounds since taking Vyvanse. It also has made my libido go through the roof. There's an upside and downside to the medication. Overall, it has helped more than it has hurt but there are negatives and positives." | 8 | August 9, 2017 | 29 | 132 |
173,868 | Provigil | obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome | "It's my first day on this medicine but man, I feel odd since I've never been so awake. Right now it's about 2:30PM Central time and my bed should be calling me and I'm fine. I feel like going for a run." | 10 | April 27, 2011 | 45 | 42 |
52,534 | Armour Thyroid | underactive thyroid | "I changed from Levothroxine to Armour in the last two weeks. I feel so much better in this short amount of time. I'm not so bloated and something just didn't feel right with the Levothyroxine. I have only been taking it two weeks, but the way I feel is good. I take 30 of Armour." | 8 | April 23, 2015 | 97 | 55 |
163 | Medroxyprogesterone | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I got the shot last month to help with my endometriosis, I was on my period at the time, after my period stopped everything was fine but once I got my period things started to go down hill *not by much*, I started my period and it wasn't so heavy at first and my pain was gone but now I'm stuck on my period, I have been bleeding for over two weeks now and cramps come and go, my face broke out and hasn't stopped which is weird for me because it doesn't ever last this long. I'm really starting to think it's not worth it if I'm still on my period all the time because now I feel like I can't do much, like swimming or being crazy active, because I feel weak and just drained." | 3 | September 17, 2015 | 15 | 137 |
151,679 | Chantix | smoking cessation | "Smoked for 40 years and tried several times to quit. Finally was able to with Chantix. I think those side effects are just your mind trying to get you to smoke again. I did have bad dreams, but they did not last long. just stay away from smokers if possible, Chantix made it easy" | 10 | February 8, 2015 | 9 | 54 |
144,550 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I had my second Nexplanon implant fitted in August 2015. I love the implant, maybe I have been lucky but the only side effects I have experienced are an occasional itchy arm and irregular periods. When I had my first Nexplanon implant fitted in 2012 it did however take a good 3 months to "settle" and my body to get used to it, I think I bled for 3-4 weeks straight but if you are willing to persevere I would definitely recommend it.
It did not hurt when it was fitted, removed or replaced in the Same arm although I did have some bruising for a week or so.
I did lots of research before having my Nexplanon implant fitted, there seems to be far more horror stories than success, but for me it has been really positive and I love it." | 9 | February 23, 2016 | 8 | 142 |
135,748 | Percocet | pain | "My doc prescribed this for after having colitis. It dulls the pain but for 2 months had the worst constipation (with Colace) and groin pain I ever had in my life. Went to 5 docs and had over $1500 in CT scans and ultrasounds for pain. Doc misled me and said take it 24hrs a day. After about 2 weeks of agonizing pain, I came off it on my own. NO PAIN! Be very CAREFUL." | 1 | July 8, 2016 | 9 | 75 |
38,378 | Liletta | birth control | "Every woman's experience with insertion is different. I was not expecting much pain (since I am used to severe cramping) and I read others' reviews, but getting it inserted was the worst pain of my life-- I screamed in the dr's office--and it felt unbearable. Like fire + shards of glass twisted inside. I was shaken up for days after. Cramps and low energy for 1.5 weeks after insertion. 2 week long periods (3 days pre-liletta). Cramps on and off for 2 months after insertion. Despite these side effects, glad I got the liletta. Morning after pills were hard on my system when I forgot my birth control pills, and getting my pills became difficult and expensive because of my insurance. Liletta + insertion was free for me which makes this a win" | 8 | October 11, 2017 | 1 | 133 |
84,621 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | acne | "I've had cystic acne since the beginning of college. I've been on Orthotricyclen Lo, Tri-Previfem (generic orthotricyclen), Beyaz, and now I'm currently on Tri-Sprintec. The orthotricyclen LO helped a little with my acne, but I still had a lot of breakouts. I was on it for around a year. I then switched to tri-previfem, which worked great for me (no side effects whatsoever) It helped regulate my period really well too. I was on it for around 2 and a half years and my acne started coming back. A different doctor switched me over to Beyaz since she said my body was used to the Tri-Previfem. I was on Beyaz for 7 months, but noticed many problems such as weight gain (I gained 8 lbs) and moodiness. I switched to Tri-Sprintec and works great." | 10 | July 15, 2016 | 3 | 134 |
123,530 | Skyla | birth control | "Okay so I got this IUD a few days ago and i just wanted to share my experience. I heard pretty bad things about the insertion so I took a percocet pain killer before I went in. Like 15 mg which is a lot. (normal dosage is 5mg, I had a 30mg one and cut it in half). By the time I got to the doctor, I was definitely feeling the effects of the pain killer. When he first inserted the tampon-like tool in, I was uncomfortable but fine, but OMG when the actual IUD went in it felt like a cramp on steroids and the pain was so unbearable I fainted. I couldn't move for 20 min from the procedure chair and didn't move from my bed for the rest of the day. I cant even imagine what it would've been like without the percocet! My period ended 2 days after insert" | 8 | November 2, 2017 | 0 | 153 |

My family gets the worse of it as i am always pissed off and irritable while on it and cant think clear without it. Its a double edged sword. Waiting for the day i can say FU to this horrible man made addiction." | 1 | March 16, 2016 | 12 | 69 |
