121,337 | Venlafaxine | generalized anxiety disorde | "I was prescribed 37.5 mg. daily to deal with the trifecta of anxiety, hot flashes and sleeplessness. I'm finding that the hot flashes have greatly decreased and that while I still wake up during the night, I am able to get back to sleep. My anxiety is still there but is finally manageable and I'm okay with that. I am happy to have some relief with this dosage and will not increase it unless absolutely necessary. The side effects that I am experiencing are dry mouth, constipation and a little weight gain but I am willing to deal with this in order not to suffer as I had for so long. I take meds with breakfast and did notice that if I forget a dose, I am unable to sleep that night." | 8 | April 26, 2016 | 21 | 132 |
52,916 | Maxalt | migraine | "For me Maxalt is a miracle drug. I have tried almost everything OTC, and nothing worked. Excedrin worked for awhile, then after a few weeks, it stopped working. I can always count on Maxalt to get rid of my migraines. I usually feel relief within an hour of taking it. That being said ,this drug is very expensive. Even with insurance and taking the generic version, I am still out of pocket about $50 a box, and they only give you 12 pills. Sometimes I have 3 or 4 migraines in a week, so this can get really expensive. It works wonders for me though, so unfortunately it's a necessary expense." | 9 | June 22, 2017 | 4 | 111 |
78,544 | Elimite | scabies | "I've had scabies several times, unfortunately, mainly due to travelling. Elimite is easy to use, but remember for the treatment to be effective you must disinfect ALL surfaces you have come into contact with. You must vacuum furniture, wash all bedding in HOT water with chlorine bleach or color safe bleach in addition to detergent. Clothing and shoes: when in doubt, throw it out. And make sure to have household members treated, or at least on the lookout if they develop symptoms." | 9 | October 19, 2008 | 171 | 82 |
91,164 | Botox | cervical dystonia | "I have been having injections for over 1 year now. The dosage was increased, per my request, in December. This seemed to work well, although it still didn't last any longer. I went in in March for my next dose, which was the same as December, and this time it's just awful. I have constant tremor, I have jerky movements at times, neck pain, yet I can tell that muscles are definitely weaker....if fact even more so than last time. Is this a sign of too much? Or injection error? I am seeing a neurologist, I did have 1 appointment with a movement disorder specialist (3 hours away), does anyone have suggestions? Should I return to the specialist?? Any input is appreciated!" | 7 | April 17, 2016 | 22 | 122 |
87,865 | Clindamycin | bacterial infection | "I am not sure what the issue is with people having these crazy side effects. I know people will can have some type of side effects but, to completely bash this med is irresponsible. If side effects are happening either A. The dose is to high, I suggest talking to your doc to re adjust it (high doses of AB's aren't always a good thing) or B.take zofran along side it, this helps with the stomach issues (warning: it can cause constipation). DO NOT lay down for at least an hour after taking it, and take it with a standard 16.9 fl oz water bottle. The only con for me is the size of a 300mg capsule(if you have a phobia or issues about swallowing big pills, use the smaller 150mgx2)" | 9 | June 20, 2017 | 20 | 131 |
39,277 | Contrave | weight loss | "I've had an excellent experience on this medication. I have ben on the medication and it is now close to the time where I need to wean off. I have had side effects from this medication, though they were short lived and tolerable. During the 1st 6 weeks (+/- a week), I experienced nausea, head aches, borborygmus (or a loud active sounding intestinal tract). I did not have any vomiting or diarrhea ever. I did occasionally experience constipation which was alleviated by taking Colace (1-2 pills 1-2 times daily as needed). I began this journey almost a year ago to the date. I started out at 166 lbs (5'4) and moderately overweight. I am now healthier and happier. I currently weight 138 lbs and have a target weight of 135 lbs. Very successful." | 9 | March 13, 2017 | 58 | 133 |
65,862 | Propranolol | mance anxiety | "The first time I experienced any sort of anxiety in front of people occurred at a new job introducing myself in a large meeting. I could hardly get my words out, racing heart, red face, shortness of breath. This one bad experience made me fearful that it could happen again. I went to my doctor and was prescribed propranolol. Before my upcoming presentation I tested it at 10mg and then 20mg another day. I didn't feel either dose was enough to get the job done for a presentation. For the presentation I took 60mg an hour before. Half an hour before my presentation I was so calm although a bit scared. When I went to the podium I was calm and when I began talking I was very comfortable. The presentation went very well." | 10 | October 27, 2015 | 28 | 134 |
156,202 | Cialis | erectile dysfunction | "I have used Cialis for over a year now at 20mg. Effects take much longer if taken with a meal containing much fat. It does last a good 3 days so you don't feel rushed to complete the act. Have noticed mild headaches the next day on more than one occasion after taking Cialis." | 10 | March 19, 2009 | 106 | 54 |
64,525 | Sertraline | anxiety and stress | "I've suffered from anxiety my whole life. It was exacerbated 11years ago when I gave birth to my daughter at 17. I've tried so many different medications with horrible side effects. I'm diagnosed with PTSD and hypervigilance so no side effect, no matter how minuscule, slipped by me. During my last bad episode of depression/anxiety, I reluctantly agreed to try sertraline. My dr started the lowest dose possible, 25mg (lower than she had ever prescribed) in the hopes it would ease my anxiety about side effects. I'm now on 75mg a day and so happy I finally found the medication that works for me! My only side effect is night sweats and vivid dreams. Don't give up! Sertraline is med #4 I've tried and the first one that really worked for me." | 10 | April 11, 2016 | 45 | 132 |
18,919 | Chlordiazepoxide | anxiety | "I have found Librium/Chlordiazepoxide to be very effective during a relatively short time (few months) of acute anxiety accompanied by IBS. My doctor prescribed Librium and it has been VERY effective. Being in the medical field myself, it is important to note that while Librium may not have the sharp relief impacts of say Ativan (just as an example), yet it is still a very effective and potent benzodiazepine that works on the same receptors in the brain that other benzodiazepines do. With my anxiety causing stomach issues, my doctor said Librium should help with both and, thankfully, it has greatly. I am calm, able to think things through, and go throughout the day on 50mg able to be more productive/less anxious and sleep better at night!" | 8 | August 31, 2017 | 1 | 127 |
218,059 | Amoxicillin / clavulanate | urinary tract infection | "I was prescribed 250/125 Augmentin 3x daily for a bad UTI that was turning into a kidney infection and hadn't responded to Cipro.
The fatigue, fever, and chills are bad enough with a UTI, but add Augmentin and it amplified it by 10. I have been in bed since I started taking it two days ago, I can't stop shaking and my joints feel like they're going to explode!
Not to mention the vivid, hallucenenic type nightmares and the constant feeling of paranoia and feeling on the brink of a panic attack!! If you have anxiety like I do DO NOT TAKE THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE TO!!! I had a mental breakdown about taking another dose as I don't feel I can handle these side effects much longer.
9/10 would not take again, doesn't seem to be helping the infection" | 2 | September 6, 2017 | 5 | 140 |
120,894 | Venlafaxine | depression | "1 started taking 75mg a few days ago also I smoke weed as well for chronic back pain and previous anxiety... I haven't noticed to many negative side affects but my sex drive isn't as high but it all still works, I have noticed little positives here and there but it takes some of that dwelling it allows me to produce clear and concise arguments" | 9 | October 8, 2017 | 2 | 65 |
166,288 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I have recently got the IUD inserted on October 31, 2016, it's now December 1 and I'm STILL bleeding. Heavily might I add. It's pretty annoying because my partner wants sex more than ever now that we've had our first child & I just don't feel comfortable having sex while still bleeding. Anyway, I am noticing that my skin is getting worse and very oily. I have painful cramps now and I didn't before insertion. I'm bloated all the time. It's been about 5 weeks, when will it end? I don't know if it's worth it" | 1 | December 1, 2016 | 2 | 96 |
167,325 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I got skyla put in a year ago, six weeks after i had my baby, and it was seriously painless. My doctor did say thats unusual though. I spotted for two days after and then only got a light period with no cramps every six weeks after. It worked so good for me i loved it! I just got it removed and the removal was painless as well." | 10 | April 5, 2016 | 3 | 68 |
197,582 | Dexamethasone | macular edema | "After operation of retina detachment and removal of silicon oil my wife had been injected with two injections in her eye viz. Avastin Inj twice. But the situation did not improve. Doctor advised to give ozurdex injection. She was given one ozurdex injection. After giving ozurdex injection the cornea started eroding. She first faced with conjuctivities and redness in her eye after two months of this injection. She is now having a blurred vision/hazzy and cornea erosion and it is deteriorating and having redness and irritation in her eyes. This ozurdex injection is useless and not reliable. This destroyed our hope and life." | 1 | June 4, 2017 | 3 | 103 |
14,706 | Tecfidera | multiple sclerosis | "I have been on Tecfidera since Sept 2014 and it has made a big difference to me. Firstly, no injections, which I hated and it has helped control my symptoms better, as well as having the positive benefit of sorting out my eczema. Side effects - intermittent flushing and increased need to use the toilet/washroom. I am fortunate and very grateful that the drug is prescribed for me by NHS Scotland." | 9 | July 29, 2015 | 24 | 71 |
68,778 | Medroxyprogesterone | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I took the 3month Depo shot in May this year, I have been bleeding non stop for the last 5 months.
I have been to the doctor twice and been given tranexamic acid and taken the entire two boxes to no avail, this week the bleeding has gotten so heavy that Im soaking out tampons in less than 3 hours. Im taking iron tablets and folic acid so that my body doesnt crash. as for sex...thats out of the question, so I dont see a point of this form of birthcontrol.
i hate depo i hate how I had a normal and very regular cycle, now Im a mess of mood swings, craving junk food, gaining weight and I hope this strain doesnt compromise my relationship with my partner. Never use this drug, it will mess you up." | 1 | October 26, 2016 | 14 | 138 |
4,507 | Belviq | obesity | "Took Med for six months, decreased appetite and lost 50 pounds. But then it stopped working on me. Tried it a year later and not working. If you get the savings card on line at the official Belviq web site and pay cash drug is only $75. Even if your insurance covers the drug copayment may be more than that." | 5 | May 12, 2016 | 16 | 60 |
228,044 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I've been on Implanon for two months now and simply love it. The insertion was easy; just a slight pinch. I haven't had any complications or extreme irregular bleeding. I did spot for a few days about a month into use and even then, it was very light. Other than that, I haven't had any of the listed symptoms. It's really reassuring to have such a reliable birth control. I never have to remember to take a pill, and I can always check to make sure it's in place.(3 Years)." | 10 | August 28, 2010 | 3 | 90 |
47,029 | Tirosint | hashimoto's disease | "I was so exited to find this medication. I had previously been on synthroid and it's generic for over 20 years with no problems and suddenly became intolerant with debilitating side effects. We tried adding Cytemel which cause terrible heart palps and then tried Armour also causing terrible heart palps and chest pain, both meds were reduced greatly with the same effect. I finally found Tirosint and did wonderfully on it for over 6 months, then my stomach had severe issues, through specialists and so many tests, treatments and a whole lot of money we finally stopped Tirosint on a whim. I'm all better stomach wise, but out of options otherwise. Since even compounded T4 uses fillers, I have no more options." | 2 | September 6, 2015 | 33 | 122 |
202,472 | Lithium | bipolar disorde | "I have struggled with bipolar depression for very long time almost 6 years. I was in denial for quite a long. Until I started hearing things and thinking things I heard or read were speaking about me. About fours years on and off. The Issue that I had was that I didn't trust medication because I felt there was no such thing as bipolar disorder. I met a great girl and got married and she helped me take Lithium consistently and soon after I had a miraculous transformation from it. I could think clearly, talk straight, listen, and take care of myself. Everything improved dramatically. I was paranoid anymore. Also, the feelings of death and depression went away and I could see past myself. Lithium has changed my entire life." | 10 | December 6, 2014 | 90 | 130 |
31,413 | Miconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "I had a mild yeast infection so I went with the 3 day treatment. As soon as I used the first treatment severe itching and burning occurred. WAY worse than my original symptoms. I will never buy this product and won't even finish the dosage because of how much pain I am in." | 1 | June 24, 2016 | 0 | 53 |
148,403 | Mirena | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I originally got in the Mirena because I had a fibroid in my uterus and after my fibroid was removed I got the Mirena placed. I have unexpected cramps when I'm not even supposed to be cramping. My Cycles are a lot lighter but I still have one every month or I may have random light bleeding. And I now experience a foul odor." | 5 | November 10, 2017 | 1 | 64 |
226,556 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I had Nexplanon inserted September 2013, so I should still have until September of 2016 with it. However, I think that will be calling the doctor to try to get it removed. Insertion went great, the pain and bruising lasted for quite some time. But it was still worth it as I had little to no symptoms for the first year. Then I started getting a brown gooish discharge frequently. I went to the doctor to have it checked out, after many tests we decided it was old blood, nothing to worry about at the time. A month ago I got my first period since being on Nexplanon- I am on my third period since then. Times in between these periods, I am getting brown discharge. One month, three periods? Heavy cramping? Major acne? I think not." | 7 | June 16, 2015 | 7 | 137 |
189,666 | Oxycodone | pain | "I have just been put on 40mg oxycontin and 5/325 percocet and I am so happy to have my life back. My sons are 9 and 11 and now I can play football and "GET TACKLED " as well as playing baseball. I have had 7 knee surgeries, a shoulder rebuild, severe arthritic back and hips to top it off. There are days when I feel like I could strap it up and dance for 60 minutes like I did in college. Thank God for a Doctor who would write these scripts. There are many that will not for legal reason." | 9 | March 6, 2009 | 34 | 101 |
104,557 | Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel | birth control | "I had been on Lutera several years and never had trouble with it. My pharmacy switched my medication to Orsythia. I have only been on it 2 weeks and I am unbelievably bloated, my clothes hardly fit, I have gained weight, (probably due to the bloating), my skin has broken out. My husband thought I was going through puberty again! I hate to see what the third week is going to bring. I had an appointment with my doctor and told her about my symptoms and told her about the pharmacy switching my medicine. She wrote another prescription for Lutera and told them not to substitute. I want my Lutera back!" | 1 | September 24, 2011 | 25 | 111 |
119,987 | Losartan | high blood pressure | "I take 25mg of Losartan for mildly elevated Blood Pressure. I'm a 49 y/o male. It's the best in terms of not having side effects as the others did and had lowered BP from 145/80 to 116/65. The only catch is I can't drink coffee with it as it will spike it back up to 145/80 again." | 7 | July 4, 2013 | 145 | 57 |
203,263 | Blisovi 24 Fe | birth control | "I have been on this pill for about 8 months and I am not satisfied at all. Ever since I started taking this I have been getting bad acne along my jawline and I have become depressed to the point where I had to start taking medication for that too. I haven't noticed any changes in weight; I workout almost every day and I maintain a healthy diet. I am 19 years old and I have no sex drive and I blame this medication for it. I am in a long term relationship and the only thing it has done good for me is prevent pregnancy. I hate this pill and I honestly believe that it has aided in causing the issues in my life. I gave it way more than 2-3 months to settle in and I am not happy. I do not recommend this pill to anyone. Stay away." | 2 | January 4, 2017 | 1 | 151 |
193,161 | Dextroamphetamine | adhd | "I've been on 15mg-25mg a day of this since I was in 4th grade. I'm now a junior in college. Days I don't take it I can sit for hours doing nothing and entire days go by. With this I get things done. Big problem is when you don't take it for a while you binge eat. " | 10 | July 16, 2009 | 27 | 58 |
124,622 | Skyla | birth control | "I had the Skyla placed a month ago. My Doc said I would experience some slight cramping during insertion and light cramps throughout the evening. I haven't had children & have a tilted uterus; 2 odds against my favor. The doctor clamped my uterus, pulled it straight to allow for placement, & manually dilated my cervix with another tool. The pain was excruciating. I was so miserable that I was holding my breath (accidentally) & nearly passed out. She told me to take Ibuprofen for pain. After bawling my eyes out 45 mins driving home, I took Ibuprofen, but no help. I called the MD back and she said this was "okay" since I had a tilted uterus and never had children (bad answer). Now it's been in for a month & cramps are rare & tolerable." | 4 | May 21, 2015 | 6 | 137 |
124,495 | Skyla | birth control | "I have had the IUD for about 8 months now. I have never had children but because of its smaller size I figured it was no biggie. The nurse who was to insert it said the same thing so I figured it would be a breeze. Well, it wasn't. It was extremely painful when she inserted it. I was nauseous and had diarhea for about and hour and a half after it was inserted. She had me stay for a half hour because I had gone pale and she was concerned, but she said she hadn't seen that happen before (she was a pretty old lady) so don't think it's going to happen to you because it did to me. Had I expected some pain I don't honk it would have been nearly as bad. So, expect it to hurt and hope you're disappointed." | 9 | June 18, 2015 | 7 | 144 |
3,018 | Nitrofurantoin | urinary tract infection | "This is a serious antibiotic. I have never had such adverse side-effects to a medication than I have with nitro. I had a UTI that kept coming back for about 5 month. Doc finally put me on Nitro after cipro and everything else didn't work. I am on day 9 of a 10 day dose and feel like I am dying. I can't get a good rest. My lungs feel congested but I can't cough up anything and my cough is dry. I get panicky and frustrated very easily. I have ZERO energy. My hair is thinning. I am freezing constantly. Overall I feel like I am getting over the flu. Unlike those who complain of diarrhea, I have severe constipation. I am only one day away from the end... I just need to tough it out one more day...." | 5 | September 18, 2017 | 11 | 140 |
115,121 | Diazepam | anxiety | "All of my life I've had varying levels of social anxiety & agoraphobia, usually without any logical cause. Even riding in cars made me unduly nervous. I had a rough, fear-filled childhood and that seemed to set me up for chronic nervousness. But there's no room for that in adult life. Valium eliminates the unnecessary anxiety & also helps with muscle spasms from my fibromyalgia. I don't get fatigue from this during the day. I do find that taking one before bed helps me relax my 100-miles-per-hour brain (stupid racing thoughts & worries) plus my muscles don't get all kinked up in knots while I'm sleeping. I've never needed to increase my dose on it even after several years, since it works as well as the day I started it, personally." | 10 | August 20, 2013 | 278 | 131 |
198,632 | Depo-Provera | birth control | "I got the shot six weeks ago. About a week after I started to experience stomach problems, and had daily, painful diarrhea. After two weeks of on and off diarrhea my bowel movements backs solid but rare, and then after that I would experience a lot of gas after eating. All of my stomach problems stopped after five weeks. I also have been diagnosed depressed and haven't found the shot to make it any worse. I've also experienced a lot of binge eating on the shot but haven't gained weight. I used to have a very painful first day of my period (bad cramps, diarrhea, gas, vomiting) but once I experienced my period on the shot I just had cramps but no blood. Im not pregnant but my period has stopped completely." | 6 | July 18, 2017 | 4 | 132 |
143,002 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "Nexplanon ruined my life. I had it implanted in October of 2015. I started bleeding two days later and I kept bleeding for five months until the gynecologist gave up trying to fix it and took it out. I was anemic and sick by the end. It was only effective birth control because it made it impossible to do the deed. Ever since then, I have had horrible periods. They stretch on and on. They start two weeks early even on the pill. I never had these problems before nexplanon. I've been on multiple different birth controls since, several different bc pills and now nuvaring. Sometimes it stops the irregular bleeding. But never for long. On July 5th I started my period. It's now August 14th. It's not stopping again. Nexplanon ruined my life." | 1 | August 16, 2017 | 12 | 134 |
206,975 | Zarah | birth control | "My experience with this birth control was pretty good. I am 5'4 about 115 lbs- 120 lbs. Never made me moody, never felt bloated. I felt pretty good on this pill. Before this pill I never broke out!! My face was pretty clear. When I started this pill I noticed my right cheek started to break out. It was more of red bumps and a rash on my face. I noticed others having the same symptoms. My diet didn't change after this pill. I ate the same and exercised too. I will be returning to Othro-Tri Cyclen until my face clears up and hopefully try something else." | 6 | December 4, 2017 | 0 | 107 |
68,349 | Plan B | emergency contraception | "We had a failure with the condom. After my girlfriend was able to take the pill 9 hours later. She had a couple days of intense cramping but it came and went. 2 weeks later she got her period on time. I would highly recommend to take the pill within the first 12 hours. If you do You should be fine. The sooner you take it the better. So don't stress about it to much, you will drive yourself crazy when there's a high chance you won't get pregnant. My situation was pretty bad so I'm sure if it worked for me, it will work for you." | 10 | June 18, 2014 | 29 | 107 |
106,541 | Implanon | birth control | "My experience so far has been good. It's an effective contraceptive but I can't recommend it a 100%. I already have three months with it and in my past two months I've had my period, but it's not a constant bleeding. And it's color is brown with spots of red. The thing that also bothers me is that this sort of 'bleeding' last at least one week or two. And that really gets in my nerves. Also that I'm buying more tampons and stuff. But so far my weigh is still the same also my mood." | 5 | February 9, 2016 | 0 | 96 |
94,279 | Trintellix | depression | "I took 1/2 of a 5MG tablet - 2.5 MG of this sent me into the abyss. I was suicidal for most of the day just barely holding on. The only thing keeping me from calling family for help was knowing it was the medication and not really me. I just had to wait for it to leave my system." | 1 | February 12, 2015 | 52 | 60 |
190,628 | Oxybutynin | overactive bladde | "Works very well for urgency, etc.
An obscure side effect is diminished ability to achieve an erection (and I believe diminished sex drive as well).
In addition, I developed dry mouth (no big deal).
I tried the generic for Trospium extended release which did not have the same issues but probably was less effective for bladder control.
PS My bladder situation was mild to moderate." | 10 | September 28, 2015 | 18 | 65 |
71,054 | Rituximab | non-hodgkin's lymphoma | "I had chills, shakes and low blood pressure at my first infusion. Subsequent infusions were easier, but still difficult. I think it's 8 of 10 due to side effects, and I know it works well for many people. Not for all though." | 8 | October 21, 2012 | 3 | 42 |
21,052 | Paliperidone | schizophrenia | "I was put on this medication. By doctors telling me that I heard voices. When I didn't. I was put in the hospital. By a police officer who thought I wasn't fit to drive. As I was having a diabetic hypo. He thought I was on drugs. And locked me in the hospital for 3 weeks. I was forced to have injections of invega. After this I had stabbing pains in my liver my blood sugar levels jumped I gained 15kgs. I haven't been able to orgasem. It has been 3 years since I was put on it. And 18 months since I last had it. I am still over weight. I'm now on diabetes medication. My liver is nearly 3 times the size it should be. And my sex life is over . All because of this evil medication. It should be banned." | 1 | July 11, 2017 | 6 | 144 |
103,117 | Estarylla | abnormal uterine bleeding | "This is my third week on this pill . I have taken birth control before and it was all smooth sailing. But with this pill I feel miserable, I have been bleeding for 5 days (two weeks after my period) and I have been in a horrible mood! Not wanting to talk to anyone or do anything. I would NOT recommend this birth control. I’m stopping immediately" | 1 | November 30, 2017 | 0 | 67 |
230,421 | Depo-Provera | birth control | "I have been on depo for over a year now. My positives would be no period, easy and that's about it. However I will no longer be receiving this birth control. Did you know that this same drug is used as a "chemical castration" for male sex offenders. They give it to them to drastically decrease their sex drive. Makes you wonder what it does to women. For me it has done just that. I started receiving the shot right before my husband and I got married and I didn't even want to have sex on our honeymoon . It has seriously affected our relationship and that is why I do not want to continue the shot." | 5 | October 31, 2013 | 8 | 117 |
109,745 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I had the nexaplanon implanted 3 years ago and getting another, and I've seen bad reviews on this. However my experience was great with it, I didn't get any heavy bleeding or periods almost immediately after insertion, some spotting not heavy and lasted for about 2 days, I didn't gain weight I lost about 30lbs with it, and my face is tremendously clear it didn't give me acne. My mood swings are maybe bad at times but nothing major, I don't have to worry about getting pregnant the chance are low. It's in my arm and it's sort of cool to show proof of birth control in your arm to your partner or whomever. It's painless when inserted however I did bruise for 3 days but it wasn't too bad " | 10 | July 28, 2016 | 5 | 131 |
5,391 | Cryselle | birth control | "I recently just switched to this pill because I kept spotting and having heavy periods on the estrogen pills, but I have to say this pill is working great for me so far. I have little to no periods, the only place I gained weight was in my breasts so that's cool, and my mood has been so stable I barely PMS anymore. The only negative is that I sometimes breakout on my face a little bit before my period, but a few pimples over heavy bleeding and spotting in the past is no problem! Great pill, highly recommend it if you have heavy periods and want a lighter one." | 9 | September 4, 2013 | 21 | 110 |
178,275 | Duloxetine | anxiety | "This medicine was the 1st thing in YEARS that made me feel like myself again. It started working within a few days. The panic attacks subsided almost immediately and the depression lifted. The side effects I experienced (although annoying) were nothing compared to the benefits it gave me. The 1st 2 weeks I was nauseous and tired, felt out of it but my head was clearer and thoughts focused after that. I did lose like 20 pounds, it stopped my emotional eating. The worst part was the night sweats I had for about 2 months or so. I was on it for about 5 months but had to wean off due to lack of insurance. Coming off was terrible though... total withdrawal, brain zaps, confusion etc. I'll get back on it as soon as I can because I know it did wonders." | 9 | November 17, 2009 | 32 | 142 |
97,391 | Voltaren Gel | osteoarthritis | "I had a bad reaction to this medicine; trouble breathing, tight throat, cold hands and feet, increased pulse, strong headache, then fatigue. It was very frightening, but did go away after several hours." | 1 | March 8, 2016 | 41 | 33 |
5,034 | Belviq | obesity | "I have been a big boned guy all my life 5"9 227 pounds. High blood pressure, cholesterol and bad joint pain. Since my early teens I have been bigger then most boys my age in every grade. I am now 34 years old and have tried just about every diet known to man without and sustained success. Four months 36 pounds down and feeling great. Easy to use minimal side effects and maximum easy weight loss. My joints are feeling better and 35 pounds to go before I hit my goal. I don't feel deprived and yes food still tastes very good but I just voluntarily eat smaller amounts. Real success real life." | 10 | April 2, 2014 | 46 | 113 |

117,430 | Nortriptyline | migraine prevention | "I'm only 19 years old and I'm taking nortriptyline to prevent my migraines . I get these bad migraines everyday and at times I feel like shaving my whole head off because I feel like it's my hair causing it but it's not . Well I've been on nortripyline for 6 months now I still get migraines but not as bad as I use too but I still get them everyday which sucks . But I hate it because I'm suppose to take it right before I go to sleep and when I do I can't sleep anymore like it wakes me up and then I'm up the whole night and I start crying at times because I just want my migraines to go away so I could live a happy normal teenage life . I'm on every day medication I take nortriplyine 10 mg and ibuprofen 600 mg It sucks I hope I get better soon" | 5 | July 10, 2017 | 11 | 157 |
46,589 | Sulfasalazine | rheumatoid arthritis | "I have been taking sulfasalazine for 19 years, the age of my son. As a baby I could not lift him, my wrists were too painful. My rheumatoid arthritis was in 15 joints, symmetrical, etc. I was on the Dutch COBRA study, combining sulfasalazine, methotrexate and prednisone, except I was in the placebo group getting only sulfasalazine. It kicked in after 6 weeks and do far has worked well. Some issues with my left foot started a year ago, but it doesn't stop me hiking in The Alps for a week." | 10 | March 3, 2014 | 134 | 91 |
131,936 | Effexor XR | anxiety and stress | "80% effective at curbing my day to day anxiety with absolutely no side effects that I am able to determine. However, I still have spikes in anxiety.

32,979 | Seasonique | birth control | "I've been taking Seasonique for two years. When I first started using it nothing major really changed with my body, but after the first couple of months I started to break out more often and my sex drive was practically non-existent. Two years later, the acne problem isn't as bad, but my sex drive is still gone and during intercourse I am also dry which makes intercourse uncomfortable. This was my first birth-control and I am now switching." | 3 | August 5, 2012 | 14 | 78 |
106,273 | Implanon | birth control | "I only had the implanon inserted about 3 months ago but so far it has had it's pro's and con's. I'll start with the pro's. It's great not to have to worry about taking the pill or getting pregnant!! I haven't put on any weight at all. I haven't had depressed thoughts/anxiety even though I've experienced this in my past. My sex drive is great.
There is just one con which is quite a big one for me considering I'm in a new relationship etc. My skin has developed this awful acne. Really deep, painful spots that appear all over my chin and forehead. I got a few spots before but nothing like this. They are so so painful I've had to go to my doctor and they've prescribed me with 80 days worth of antibiotics and gel to hopefully help it." | 3 | June 1, 2017 | 4 | 142 |
123,297 | Apri | birth control | "I have endometriosis and my doctor wants me to continuously use this with 3-4 breaks per year to minimize the endometrial growth. I had terrible nausea and bad acne in the beginning, not to mention I spotted for a month straight and then bleed a period flow for another month. Taking this pill before bedtime helped with the nausea. I've been taking this pill for 4 months now and have gained 5-10lbs, the acne is still bad ( I'm 34 and no longer had it before apri ) oh and my libido is non existent since taking this medication. I figured it wouldn't happen to me since I had a very strong libido but it is now gone. I'm going to ask my doctor to change this medication." | 3 | June 15, 2015 | 4 | 128 |
165,233 | Phentermine / topiramate | weight loss | "I tried this medicine for 2 months, I lost 9 lbs. It was hard falling asleep at night, most nights I couldn't fall asleep until 4 or 5 am. It also made me feel depressed." | 1 | August 2, 2013 | 43 | 35 |
86,222 | Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate | bowel preparation | "25 yr female. 5'3" @ 125 pounds. First colonoscopy. 1st dose @ 6:00pm. 2nd dose @ 3:00am. Procedure @ 7:30am. Suprep tastes terrible - no qualms there. Chugged through a straw and chased with Gatorade and my two 16oz of water. Experienced burping and minor "I'm gunna puke" but muscled through it in 20 minutes. No cramps, discomfort, or side effects. Felt the tummy rumbles 40 minutes after drinking. Casually walked to bathroom (no urgency or rushing) sat on the potty, felt a few more rumbles and then released the ocean. No burning, no rawness, used regular angel soft TP. Total time in bathroom was 60 minutes. Got a shower, went to bed. Repeated at 3am. Super easy. Effective. Actually felt good!" | 10 | October 8, 2015 | 24 | 122 |
4,396 | Belviq | weight loss | "This is my third week on Belviq and I'm happy to say I am down 9 pounds. My goal is to loss 10 pounds the first month to justify spending another $263. Looks like I will be able to purchase another month's supply. Got 20 pounds to go." | 9 | May 9, 2017 | 19 | 48 |
27,712 | Lexapro | generalized anxiety disorde | "This medicine truly changed my life. I was afraid to go outside, FaceTime family, and even talk on the phone. A few weeks after starting this medication I began to feel like myself again and I didn't even know I wasn't myself until I was able to do things like a normal human being again. I had previously tried Propranolol to make it so my heart rate wouldn't get super high but that wasn't solving the root of the problem. I am very thankful for Lexapro and I highly recommend it if you are suffering from generalized anxiety disorder like I was. I haven't had any side effects either :)" | 10 | December 10, 2017 | 0 | 110 |
203,526 | Nasonex | allergic rhinitis | "This is the best product I've ever used for allergies. For a long time, I've suffered terribly with hay fever, which antihistimines controlled but it was the constant itchy face, nose and neck that made life miserable for me and I couldn't find anything to control it. I had tried other nasal sprays but to no avail. A friend recommended Nasonex and I tried it reluctantly. After 1 week of taking it (one spray in each nostril every morning) I am delighted. No more itchiness, sneezing, water eyes and no more misery!! I'm very happy and grateful and I've suffered no side effects so far." | 10 | April 2, 2015 | 12 | 105 |
97,476 | Voltaren Gel | pain | "Dr. Prescribed for Tendonitis, aka Tennis Elbow on right arm. After using for 2 days, the pain is diminished and movement of the forearm, grasping with the fingers, and range of motion is very near back to normal with very little pain. I work on a computer all day, typing and mousing. I apply 2 grams, 4 times a day to the elbow area. It makes working very tolerable. I would say Voltaren is a good treatment and really helps bring my arm function back to normal with no pain for tendonitis / Tennis Elbow. Aspercreme was also ok, but the Voltaren does better. Mild stretching, exercise and movement also help and are made much easier with the Voltaren." | 8 | March 5, 2015 | 45 | 119 |
133,623 | Robaxin | muscle spasm | "I have three herniated discs C4-C7, cervical kyphosis, spinal stenosis and am taking robaxin 500mg twice a day along with MS Contin 15mg ER. I've been on soma and Valium for my muscle spasms related to the kyphosis. I was just put on Robaxin by a new pain management doctor. It doesn't do anything to help my muscle spasms. I'm very disappointed with this medicine. I've been on flexeril and skelaxin but those didn't work for me either. I can't take baclofen because I have epilepsy. I'm hoping my pain management doctor will let me just get back on the soma so I can get some relief from my awful muscle spasms." | 1 | May 31, 2015 | 51 | 112 |
2,869 | Cranberry | urinary tract infection | "With Benign Prostate Hyperplasia, acute urinary retention is possible, and I self-catheterise an average of twice a day for that reason. This makes urinary infections more likely, and previously, I used to get infections requiring antibiotics. Since taking these morning and night, I have had no further problems. Even if my urine turns cloudy, it seems to clear itself very quickly. Cranberry concentrate works very well for me." | 10 | October 8, 2013 | 8 | 68 |
97,479 | Voltaren Gel | pain | "Unbelievable. I just used this for the first time and had relief in about 15 minutes. 13 years of pain shots 12 doctors, 2 surgeries and I put on this gel and feel so much better. For me, it is a miracle." | 10 | February 4, 2015 | 71 | 42 |
147,135 | Alprazolam | anxiety | "I started taking Xanax in 2007- my daily dose was up to 4mg daily as needed. I finally felt that I had my life back. In 2013 we moved to AZ and the 1st Dr I saw here discontinued it, cold turkey. A few others were drastically cut back and stopped without any warning. I must say it has been difficult." | 10 | January 2, 2014 | 40 | 61 |
171,883 | Meloxicam | osteoarthritis | "Several years ago, I was put on Mobic for right knee problems--bone on bone. When I finally needed a knee replacement, I had to go off Mobic for a week before the surgery. Immediately, I got creaky and all my joints hurt and ached. It hurt to walk even a short distance. At that point, I realized what a blessing Mobic is. I thought that if some of my deceased relatives had Mobic, they might have lived longer. I remember how badly they suffered and I understand. The pain was unbearable. I'm still on it. I am 65." | 10 | May 22, 2011 | 101 | 98 |
190,448 | Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo | birth control | "I'd been using Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for about 6 years, but today I switched to a generic brand. I can only say negative about this - migraines, weight gain and tiredness. Not to mention the price. My insurance did not cover it so it cost about $50 a month. Hopefully my new pills will work out better for me." | 5 | November 3, 2009 | 3 | 59 |
140,850 | Escitalopram | anxiety | "I have had three very good experiences with Lexapo. To any readers in deep depression and with anxiety, rule one is to not take bad experiences you read on the web as your future experience. Each time I have experienced major depression, I started on 10 mg and had to grind my way through at least 4 weeks to feel any positive effects and the worse side effects were gone. I was bumped up to 20mg and it took two weeks of living through hell again and than suddenly it was gone. Exercise, get out and face your demons, and remember it can and will get better (yes, hard to believe when they could scrape you off the wall but it will happen). Good luck ... you have my sympathy and encouragement." | 9 | April 15, 2016 | 116 | 132 |
179,880 | Adapalene / benzoyl peroxide | acne | "My dermatologist prescribed me Epiduo and it's been OK. My face has cleared up 40% of the way but it BURNS! I will stop using the product for a little while until the dryness and rawness clears and then continue about every other day." | 8 | April 6, 2015 | 6 | 44 |
83,141 | Paxil | social anxiety disorde | "I have had bad social anxiety from a very young age. It has affected my ability to obtain and maintain employment. I have tried Zoloft also, but it did not work near as well as Paxil does for me. Since taking Paxil, I have been working a new job for two months. I only give it a 9 because of the minor side effects, which I have been able to find a way around anyway. If your social anxiety is so bad that it affects your ability to support yourself, I would recommend Paxil. I am on 20mg. When I was taking 30mg the side effects were enough to make me switch to Zoloft for a while, but 20mg of Paxil is working great for me." | 9 | June 1, 2013 | 54 | 126 |
32,363 | Lisinopril | high blood pressure | "Took this for several years whenever I was younger. Worked perfectly, no problems. Was able to get off of medication due to lifestyle changes. After about 3 years, I had to get put back on it and it didn't interact well with me at all the second time around. After 3 days of taking it, I would start to get a pain in my stomach that was so severe, I could barely stand. It lowered my blood pressure, but the pain was intense. 2 days after stopping taking it, the pain would go away completely. Tried a few times to start retaking it, but every time met with the same results." | 2 | August 26, 2016 | 21 | 111 |
14,323 | Trusopt | glaucoma, open angle | "I noticed my husband coughing more than usual for a while now.

45,156 | Fluoxetine | major depressive disorde | "Following the death of my 3 year old daughter I started taking this also Valdoxan at night and anti calm during the day I also suffer from anxiety , Prozac has helped me get up in the day time and go out and changed my attitude also obviously it's false happiness but it helps me forget my pain and have a giggle during the day it eases my pain" | 8 | April 16, 2016 | 54 | 69 |

I was also prescribed burspirone 15mg 3 time a day, Paxil 20 MG once a day and Trazodone 50 MG. Lamictal had worked for me in the past. I hope these other medicines works well with it. Has anybody else this combination as well I would like to here from you." | 10 | June 24, 2011 | 3 | 99 |
209,327 | Nifedipine | raynaud's syndrome | "Diagnosed few years ago. Started on Adalat and holy moly I got use of my hands back in winter. Absolutely amazing.

186,159 | Desvenlafaxine | depression | "Bad withdrawal symptoms when trying to quit. I had horrible depression when trying to wean off. Also didn't like how I felt on it. Took my imagination away, ability to day dream. Gave me high blood pressure. You must get on medicines for high blood pressure. So either stop Pristiq or get high blood pressure meds if you need it." | 3 | July 31, 2014 | 39 | 60 |
34,835 | Minocycline | acne | "Cleared my skin fast although I had to discontinue it after about a week or so as it was making me feel very nauseous, I also got very itchy. However within a few days the acne was back with vengeance! I started taking them again in desperation and found that when I took them earlier in the day (before my usual 8oclock mark) I no longer felt nauseous and the itching isn't as bad but its a small price to pay for clearer skin!" | 7 | September 29, 2013 | 9 | 84 |

Well I started freaking out and took the pill 40 min after. Tuesday morning I did feel some of the side effects but nothing too major!! Your period is either going to be early or late but i wasn't supposed to get my period until 2 weeks from the day I had sex. Fortunately I got it early six days later so it does work!! Also they say that if you weigh more then 160 or so it won't be as effective and well I'm a pretty curvy girl I weigh 250 and it worked on me so Don't believe that stupid theory!!! Hope it was helpful!!" | 10 | September 16, 2016 | 15 | 142 |
178,435 | Duloxetine | pain | "I have neuropathy in my feet and slightly in my hands. Amitryptiline made my pain livable - still bad, but I could function. When I began taking Cymbalta along with the amitryptline, almost immediately the pain subsided and practically disappeared! I no long take the Amitryptiline and Cymbalta keeps the pain to a low ebb, allowing me to sleep and join in activities I had long given up. Doesn't do a thing for my "attitude", but being relatively pain free does make me happy." | 8 | March 26, 2008 | 104 | 84 |

Some were awful and terrible, while others were ok or tolerable, and there was even one where I thought that was as good as it's going to get. I was on that a long time.

I have yet to see side effects and I've been taking it for about 6 months." | 9 | June 2, 2016 | 134 | 77 |
93,566 | Oxymorphone | pain | "My Dr had put me on opana 60 mg twice daily Along with oxymorphone 10mg for breakthrough pain. This did work beautiful. Unfortunately, my insurance changed, and I was put on oxycontin ER and oxycodone. This combo never worked as well the prior medication regime I was on. Even when I increased the amount I was taking on my own, it never fully Took the pain away. He decided after a year or so, to put me on levorphanol and oxycodone for breakthrough pain. The levorphanol works ALOT better than the oxycontin still. Levorphanol must be sent through the mail to PA, as it's not carried in this state and MOST pharmacist have never heard of it. It's called the forgotten opioid. Opana Works great for TRUE spinal cord Pain. No high.. Great relief!" | 8 | September 22, 2017 | 3 | 134 |

It was until a co-worker referred me to a new Doctor and I am completely happy with him. He first gave me Adipex but after 2 months with no weight loss results he changed me to Bontril last week.

The Doctor said take half that yr and other half this yr and then never take again. Last year I had redness and swelling of arm, joint and body pain, chills, weakness and cough. The redness had gone after 1 week but other symptoms continued for 2-3 months.

The cost is prohibitive $331 Co pay. So far not feeling much relief from abdominal pain. I was not retested for SIBO but prescribed this for IBS. I am also on gluten free and FODMAP diet. I have low IgA and IgG immunoglobulins. Everything seems to be just trial and error. I will continue to take it. Not very hopeful.

I cried every day my kindergarden year. My anxiety got worse over the years but my parents are those types that don't believe in medication and mental disorders. This year, since being an adult and being able to make my own decisions, I decided to see a therapist. They started me out on 5mg lexapro. The first month was like heaven. I could hold conversations with strangers, go to restaurants and not have a panic attack trying to order food, and so on. After that first month the medicine just stopped working. I was tired and sick all the time and it made me have horrible bursts of anger. Don't take this!!" | 1 | November 13, 2015 | 17 | 142 |
98,305 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I have been on the Nexplanon for just about a year and don't have very many complaints about it. The implant was administered after my OBGYN injected me with meds to numb the area and I was surprised that it couldn't feel a thing! For the next 1-3 weeks, my arm was bruised and the site itched a lot but eventually faded away. I did notice that I lost 5-10 pounds in my waist, of which I was very excited about. Normally, I'm a coffee drinker who can drink a cup of black coffee and 30 minutes later, go right to sleep. Now, I am extremely sensitive to caffeine. Coffee, tea, or even Excedrin were making me feel anxious. Since then, I've stopped the caffeinated drinks and replaced them with water. I love it! NO BABIES! Well... For now." | 9 | May 2, 2015 | 14 | 139 |
61,425 | Citalopram | depression | "I started out on 10mg of Celexa, nothing happened. When I got to 20mg, I started feeling sick (I felt like I was going to vomit all the time) and irritated. Once I got to 40mg, I began to feel impulsive and wired. I could barely sleep and I was doing risky things; even my friends said I wasn't myself! I got put on Neurontin after this, I'm glad I switched." | 3 | June 28, 2017 | 7 | 71 |
73,976 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "I didn't have too many side effects and it worked great! The main thing was that I didn't have a period for over 5 months (the Dr. said everything was fine and that this was normal) I've been on it for a year, but am stopping this month. I started it a few months before I got married. We never had sex before marriage, but within 2 months of starting Loestrin, my physical attraction completely dropped! We tried everything after marriage: vitamins, stimulation, etc. Nothing worked. It's causing a huge strain on our marriage, so we're moving onto a hormone free method. Everyone reacts differently, so I suggest try it for 6 months or so then decide." | 7 | February 13, 2012 | 2 | 117 |
113,093 | Bisacodyl | constipation | "Horrific. Unbearable stomach cramps and sweats. I've literally been in the tub clothed, running cold water on myself. I keep praying feeling like I'm going to die! I will never use again. The pain is worse than the constipation. From now on a scoop of miralax everyday to keep the backups away!

88,590 | Femtrace | postmenopausal symptoms | "At the age of 28 I had a hysterectomy. After years of taking different kind of hormones my doctor gave me Femtrace. In January 2013 I was told they quit making it. I have tried several other medications but nothing works like Femtrace. I have put on 14 pounds, have severe hot flashes, mood swings, joint pain and do not want to do anything at all. Just do not know what to do." | 10 | October 16, 2013 | 24 | 73 |
20,678 | Nucynta | pain | "Tapentadol 50mg four times a day when required for pain .
Before Nucynta I was taking Opana IR as well as extended release formula usually alternating the two every couple of months. Pain relief is controlled best by Opana for me personally. However several side effects have required a change so Nucynta was chosen. Works great no freaky side effects and less intoxicating effects. " | 7 | June 11, 2014 | 70 | 65 |
