197,827 | Onglyza | diabetes, type 2 | "I was diagnosed about a year ago and put on Onglyza. It worked well, keeping my blood sugar at a normal level. About 6 months ago my Dr lowered my dose from 5 mg once a day to 2.5 mg per day. Still great blood sugars. About a month ago he stopped all meds and my sugar climbed up, so back on Onglyza 5 mg once a day.
Last week my sugar went to 300-400, even my fasting levels. So today I went in an was immediately given a shot of insulin, prescribed Tresiba and an oral med with Metformin in it.
Can't figure out why Onglyza stopped working for me. But it did. Very unhappy now." | 3 | January 26, 2017 | 1 | 117 |
31,546 | Miconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "I have never been in so much pain in my entire life. I have never had a yeast infection before and took this stuff and instantly thought I was allergic or dying. I sincerely wish I would have read these reviews before I wasted my money for the worst night of my life. I think this medicine truly might be a joke to torture women and if you took this medicine, you know I am far from being dramatic." | 1 | March 13, 2016 | 8 | 79 |
163,506 | Methylphenidate | adhd | "I took 15 mg instant release Ritalin for ADHD, to combat daytime sleepiness, and focus on med school studies. I have mixed feelings about this medication. It improved my focus a lot, but it also had some negative effects. I was very nauseous after taking the pill and would sometimes gag. Nausea was absent on days I didn't take it. I had no appetite so I wasn't eating enough, which isn't ideal because I am already thin and not looking to lose weight. I would try to eat before taking the pill but I did notice either a decreased efficacy of the drug. It also increased my heart rate to about 120 beats per min (I am normally about 75). This did help me feel motivated and get work done, I just wish I didn't experience these side effects." | 6 | October 16, 2016 | 8 | 139 |
220,630 | Loestrin 24 Fe | 0</span> users found this comment helpful. | "I have only been on this Loestrin 24 for about two months. I have actually lost weight but my breasts hurt all the time. And I'm not talking like "just a little sore" they hurt bad. I also am having the craziest mood swings. One minute I am happy as a clam and the next I just cry my eyes out or am so annoyed I can't even think. " | 5 | April 22, 2011 | 0 | 70 |
11,612 | Pramipexole | restless legs syndrome | "I have been on this medication for only 3 days now. I am in shock to see such a change so quickly. I was a bit sceptical that it would be a "cure all" but it is. I have no hip or shoulder pain anymore, and I am getting out of bed every morning feeling great, as opposed to feeling like I was hit by a truck. I did have a bit of a groggy morning after the 1st dose. I have been fine ever since. I realized while taking this medication that my entire body feels so much "looser" than before. I am so happy I found a doctor who took an interest in my symptoms and finally dignosed my PLMS and RLS." | 9 | December 16, 2008 | 2 | 124 |
98,519 | Nexplanon | birth control | "Injection wasn't painful. Only sore a day or two. Spotting everyday for the first month, no period at all the second month, spotted every day the third month, stopped for a week and spotted for another 3 weeks straight. I've gained 22 lbs, 15 being in the first two months. I was losing baby weight and then it just stopped once I had this inserted. I always feel bloated." | 6 | December 28, 2014 | 7 | 69 |
176,561 | Lorazepam | nausea/vomiting, chemotherapy induced | "This medicine makes me feel, for lack of a better description "wavey" although it makes me sleepy and off balanced it does do well with decreasing nausea, although occasionally I still do get the urge to vomit but it's easily controllable." | 10 | March 16, 2012 | 31 | 41 |
109,171 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I got the implant in Jan 2017 my period came left for a few days and then I started spotting (I guess that's what u would call it) for a whole month. I got it removed in March 2017 and I still have not stopped this spotting. It would stop for a day or not even a few hrs. And it's back spotting. B4 I had no problem with the plumbing downstairs but since I got this thing removed it's hard for me to get things going and stay going. Like it really sucks. It's now been 2.5 weeks since I got it removed and the spotting has yet to stop. I didn't recommend this to my worst enemy it's just not worth it at all. I know it's just not for me...." | 1 | March 18, 2017 | 3 | 133 |
64,355 | Sertraline | post traumatic stress disorde | "I suffer from PTSD and also anxiety and mild depression. I hit the bottle and have managed to regain some element of control. My Doctor prescribed these tablets for me, 50mg and even after the first day I felt so much different. I felt that I had the capability to handle stresses and strains both in work and at home. I know its early days for me, but signs are definitely positive. I have had a few side effects such as upset stomach and a few restless nights but those pale to insignificance, when I reflect on how this is drug is definitely helping me. Obviously this drug is not for everyone....overall, a positive experience for me. Stay strong!" | 9 | August 12, 2016 | 4 | 119 |
141,996 | Escitalopram | anxiety | "I'm female 24 years old, 190lbs. I was on 5 mg to 10mg now I'm at 20mg I have been on this medicine for 8 months. It makes me feel a little better but I have had bad dreams so now I take another pill to sleep." | 5 | June 17, 2009 | 2 | 47 |
48,171 | Sumavel DosePro | cluster headaches | "Followed the instructions. Two (2) of the shots were defective (Out of 6). One was harmless and did not fire which only cost me $100 for the non performing shot. The other did nothing until it fired accidentally into my eye. Seeking regulatory and legal help." | 1 | April 15, 2016 | 8 | 46 |
187,513 | Monistat 3-Day Combination Pack | vaginal yeast infection | "Omfg !!!! Worst experience ever im curreny 13 wks pregnant and i have a YI due to antibiotics my dr prescribed me before i decided to try this product out before going back to her again worst decision ever i was already burning and it hing due to the YI but oh my i just inserted the 1st day applicator after 10 mins i had this intense burning feeling and itching" | 1 | August 18, 2016 | 1 | 71 |
10,277 | Breo Ellipta | asthma | "I have suffered from asthma for over 20 years, almost died twice. I have been on all types of inhalers yet nothing seemed to work. I finally was put on Dulera which was better than other inhalers I have experienced but it was too expensive. So I saw the commercial about Breo and told my Doctor about it. My Doctor checked the ingredients and found they were similar. So I have been on Breo for about 9 months now and I finally see what it is to not have asthma. I have not had any Astoma attacks since being on the medication. On top of that, I have seasonal asthma and I have not had any flares ups either. This inhaler saved my life and I have had not had any side effects!
Truly Amazing!! The best out there!" | 10 | July 4, 2017 | 12 | 139 |
119,803 | Ambien CR | insomnia | "I was taking regular Ambien and was waking up after a few hours and not able to get back to sleep. I switched to Ambien CR and have been sleeping through the night. I have not experienced any side effects." | 8 | December 4, 2008 | 36 | 40 |
125,099 | Dulcolax | bowel preparation | "I had taken the medication at 10 last night about 8 this morning had severe cramps and nausea and sweaty. And again at 10 had a liquid bowel movement and now at 11 sitting on the toilet I wanted something for relief and this isn't a nice relief more like a killer one to say the least. Would I recommend it ummm sure if you like excruciating cramps and constant nausea and very loose stool." | 3 | March 9, 2017 | 11 | 75 |
203,934 | Suvorexant | insomnia | "I have Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). It's a painful condition that keeps me up all night long. I take narcotics (least possible) & other CNS depressants. I have tried everything 4 insomnia & ambien was my fail proof last ditch for 7 years. But ambien stopped working. I was taking 20mg a night. For the 1st time I took Belsomra last night - 10mg (supposedly ineffective dose) & I slept better than I have in years. Lunesta sucks. I'm really not ok w/taking anti-psychotics/seizures or benzos for sleep as they can affect your mind later. What's the point of sleep if you don't heal? Benzos change REM sleep anyway and your memory fails in 10 y. I slept last night. I'm grateful for the med. $10 a pill is expensive but worth it. I will keep trying them. Downloaded coupons." | 10 | January 26, 2016 | 12 | 141 |
158,191 | Ziprasidone | schizoaffective disorde | "It keeps my head more clearer in thought. The voices have toned down and less hallucinations. I just do not like some of the side effects but I got used to them after a while." | 9 | October 6, 2013 | 20 | 35 |
43,739 | Vitamin B6 | nausea/vomiting | "I was prescribed Pyridoxine (VItamin B6) 25 mg for nausea during pregnancy and I am absolutely amazed. I honestly didn't think it was going to work and not only does it work, but it doesn't cause drowsiness so I am a happy camper! I give the medicine a 9 rating." | 9 | September 28, 2011 | 52 | 50 |
38,760 | Contrave | weight loss | "Hello, I am here with an update. As I mentioned before, I started taking Contrave 10/16/17 at the time I weighed 237.8lbs. Today is 10/26/17 I now weigh 229.6. So within 2 weeks I've lost 8.1lbs. As with the side affects, I've had slight headaches, a little nausea, hot flashes, and a bit moody at times. I don't crave for junk foods or sweets as much as I used to, however I am still working on that. I really haven't worked out much at all since taking this medication, but I plan to this week since I've been doing so well without working out. I know if I work out I would have better results. I will update you in two weeks after my follow up doctor's appointment." | 9 | October 26, 2017 | 12 | 128 |
47,347 | Flonase | rhinitis | "Awesome! For years I suffered sinus headaches, which are much like Migraines. Flonase has alleviated that tremendously. I don't take this all the time just when I sense allergy season, or plan to be somewhere, where there is a atmospheric change like the mountains or in an airplane. It keeps my sinuses from swelling, causing the headache, it's not an instant fix, it takes about 11 hours to be effective on me." | 10 | February 19, 2015 | 20 | 72 |
152,556 | Lortab | pain | "I had an auto accident which resulted in a broken tibia and fibula. Which had to be reconstructed with a titanium rod from knee to ankle. After 2 weeks of Lortab 10/325, doctor put me on Lortab 5/325, for pain management. Taken 1-2 every 4-5 hours works really well for the pain. I could do physical therapy without being in extreme pain." | 7 | December 21, 2011 | 11 | 62 |
142,932 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I had bleeding since the first week and all the four months, every day, till I removed it.
Now, a week later, I am still bleeding.
Its a mistake, I feel week and angry, its summer, its hot and my period is never ending.
This med should be out of the market." | 1 | August 4, 2017 | 3 | 52 |
52,563 | Armour Thyroid | hypothyroidism, after thyroid removal | "I've been on Armour thyroid for 4 months or so and I've lost no weight and I'm tired all the time, also gained weight. Having hot flashes and night sweats and I've been feeling dizzy. My TSH is low along with my T3 and T4. It's time to switch medicines once again. I've been on 2 other medicines and nothing is helping me I'm so frustrated. I need some help, anyone know of a better medicine out there? " | 1 | October 11, 2013 | 56 | 79 |
172,755 | Clonazepam | panic disorde | "I first started out on Lamictal and unfortunately got a rash from it. I then was moved onto Ativans and those worked but only for a short period of time. This is by far the best medication, but, it takes a little bit longer to kick in compared to the Ativan. My panic attacks come out of nowhere and it's unfortunate that it doesn't kick in as fast. That's why I gave it an 8." | 7 | August 1, 2014 | 38 | 75 |
182,541 | Mirena | birth control | "I have had Mirena now for about 3 months. I had it inserted at 12 weeks post partum and experienced no pain, just some odd pulling sensations. I was able to drive home right away and felt fine. I had some minor cramping and bleeding for a couple weeks. Now I have been spotting here and there and having long periods but was told that should regulate after 6 months so I am sitting tight for that. I have had no weight gain, actually lost 3 lbs so far. No acne, no mood swings, can't feel it, neither can my partner. So far so good. I love how effective it is and that I don't have to remember to take anything. I'd recommend it." | 9 | September 12, 2009 | 14 | 124 |
221,945 | Fluconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "I have been prone to getting yeast infections... I get rid of them then they seem to come back in no time. Anyways I decided to give this stuff a try because you can use it at anytime of the day (many other products you can only use at nighttime) I used it in the middle of the day and all of my symptoms were gone the next day... it took about 24 hours but it seemed my yeast infection was completely cured. I know it takes longer for it to be completely out of your system but all of the symptoms were gone and I no longer felt like a had a yeast infection. I am not sure if it was just the diflucan that got rid of it, as I decided to take a double dose of probiotic the same day, but whatever it was seemed to work." | 9 | February 16, 2017 | 19 | 150 |
162,429 | Loratadine / pseudoephedrine | nasal congestion | "I found Alavert to be extremely affective with two side effects and depending on how bad you feel they might not bother you. I noticed I had a ton of energy and couldn't go to sleep so I found myself cleaning. My house is better because of it. I also found myself getting up to pee almost every hour once I feel asleep. All in all it relieved my headache, dizziness and nasal congestion." | 9 | May 29, 2016 | 3 | 74 |
138,472 | Phentermine | weight loss | "Hi! I have been on phentermine in the past and lost 32 pounds in less than two months! Then I stopped for about 3 months because itmade extremely constipated. I just started taking it again monday October 28 2013 and today is October 30th and so far I've lost 4 pounds in 3 days. I recommend phentermine to those who truly want to lose weight. It has some side effects but the only one I've experienced is constipation so eat healthy and high fiber diet." | 9 | October 30, 2013 | 38 | 85 |
212,995 | Tizanidine | muscle spasm | "Soma worked great then that doctor would not take my insurance. So got another doctor and he would only give me Flexeril or baclofen and both absolutely do nothing. I have a herniated disc and get muscle spasms in low back and buttocks they are hard as rock. This medicine with Vicodin does help but it does make you very sleepy and dizzy so be careful driving." | 8 | February 23, 2011 | 16 | 67 |
170,695 | Quetiapine | depression | "I have used this for years now! I love it, before taking I absolutely could not sleep. I started out with 50mg, and am now taking 75mg after all of these years. I cannot sleep without it and I have no side effects from this medicine.
" | 10 | November 14, 2013 | 90 | 47 |
26,187 | Sprintec | birth control | "I've been on sprintec for over a year. I have had no problems with it and haven't gotten pregnant:) We don't even use condoms. Only issue I had with sprintec was when I first started taking it I would throw up because I wasn't used to this type of medication. One year later everything seems to be fine!" | 10 | December 11, 2016 | 9 | 58 |
108,201 | Bupropion / naltrexone | obesity | "I cannot say enough positive things about Contrave. I started the end of June with the 1 pill and then 2 and so on and that first month I didnt see a difference really in my appetite. Once i got my second bottle and started on the full dose...drastic difference. I eat 1/4 of what I normally do portion wise...less snacks/meals a day. And most importantly i have NO desire to eat just to eat. I am not addicted to food anymore. I actually have to make myself eat. I am not a weigher because I obsess but since i started the full dose a lil over a month ago i have lost 26 inches all over. Everyone has noticed my weight loss...cashiers at stores even lol, its significant! Not to mention I am just happier in general!" | 10 | September 18, 2015 | 40 | 138 |
32,781 | Ruxolitinib | polycythemia vera | "This is the third Rx I've had over 10 years to treat polycythemia rubes very. Started for drug trial for 87 weeks. Now on an Rx.
I've had 0 Phlebotomy since on Jakafi. Itching is nearly nonexistent. I can sleep well. Mood has improved. Generally, Jakafi has given me a life back!" | 9 | June 19, 2015 | 24 | 52 |
59,977 | NuvaRing | birth control | "So, I was so excited to try out the nuva ring. I have the mind of a goldfish, so remembering a pill everyday would be a struggle. When I put it in, I felt no diffrent. But the next few nights, I've never been more sick. And for the first 2 weeks, I was like a bunny in heat. I've became lazy, unmotivated, emotional and had no confidence at all. I've read a couple of reveiws, so I tried to stick it out a month. Today, I finally took it out, and had an overwhelming emotional breakdown. I was mean, and cried for no reason, and felt depressed. This is not who I am. I've had this thing out for about 8 hours, and I'm finally starting to feel better. I think I'm just going to try abstinence for my birth control method." | 2 | July 4, 2015 | 13 | 143 |
129,533 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I'm 22 y/o and I just had my first baby and just got the Mirena 4 days ago. My doctor told me to get the Mirena as a birth control instead of any contraceptive pills because pills will decrease my milk supply. I was having second thought getting this because of other people's review which scares me so much. However, my partner tried to convince me to give mirena a try. My doctor also introduced me to mirena and she ask me some question to determine if it's suitable for me. Although I had second thought about getting it, I still did because I'm not good at keeping track on stuffs if ever I have to take pills. The insertion didn't even take 5mins. I felt a slight discomfort. I just had minor cramps but overall it was a good choice." | 6 | July 10, 2015 | 5 | 141 |
191,673 | Lisdexamfetamine | adhd | "I have tried every AD(H)D pill known so far. I started in grade 4 and went off them in grade 7. I am weird as far as medicine goes and it never worked as intended, side effects for other pills were things such as no free will, not remembering anything that I did for 3 years, no control of self awareness or recollection of my actions, fainting or passing out without warning. I went off the pills in grade 7 due to mental and physical health issues and concerns. Decided to take the pills again because I need them to graduate, started on Vyvasne. It is 1000X times better than any other pill that I have tried over the years. Biggest problems is lack of appetite (went 26 hours without eating without realizing it) started on 80MG by mistake." | 9 | May 16, 2011 | 6 | 139 |
120,557 | Dicyclomine | irritable bowel syndrome | "I've been on this a month and it's been horrible. I have IBS that goes in waves, sometimes I'm fine sometimes my bowels are very unpredictable. This has given me the worst stomach pain I can imagine every day since I began. I have no appetite and I also rarely have bowel movements anymore, but 24/7 I feel like I will have diarrhea.... but I never do. It's miserable, I can barely go anywhere due to the stabbing pain." | 1 | August 2, 2017 | 5 | 79 |
220,404 | Amitriptyline | pain | "After 10 years of chronic abdominal pain, a bunch of tests, multiple doctors telling me to take ompeprazole with no relief I am now 90% pain free. I started taking Endep 1 week ago and have increased to 20 mg. It makes me a little sleepy but I take it 2 hrs before bed anyway. My new doc narrowed it down to overactive nerves and she nailed it. I'm now getting better quality of life and am happy that I have found this med. For me it's really worked well." | 10 | October 27, 2013 | 116 | 90 |
124,440 | Skyla | birth control | "I had Skyla put in about a year ago. The insertion was pretty awful because there were complications so it took longer than anticipated. That was not because of the Skyla but because of my doc (which she was really great about the whole process). I include that because I haven't had any children and have a pretty high tolerance for pain, so I want anyone reading this to expect some discomfort. Since having it my cramps have been terrible and seem to only disappear for about a week and a half or so each month. I also still have spotting. My periods in general are lighter but they last for 5 or 6 days now it seems. I've also had a significant increase in hormonal breakouts, which I definitely believe to be due to the BC." | 5 | October 7, 2015 | 0 | 137 |
203,213 | Blisovi 24 Fe | birth control | "Well I'm not pregnant, but my period is VERY irregular. I have it in a shorter time before I'm done with the active pills. Then it lasts almost 1.5 weeks. Also breaking out horribly during the whole month (possible to be unrelated)." | 2 | April 5, 2017 | 0 | 42 |
95,854 | Sertraline | depression | "Since the age of 13 I've been on antidepressants, fluoxetine, mirtazipine, lorazepam, citalopram. The list goes on. I'm 25 now and I've been on sertraline for the past two month after all the other medicines failed to lift my mood. Its the first time in my life I've ever felt free, to me this is a miracle. I can easily put up with the occasional side effects (nausea, insomnia) because I no longer wake up with suicidal thoughts or anxiety about leaving the house." | 10 | November 21, 2013 | 22 | 84 |
82,499 | Liraglutide | diabetes, type 2 | "I started Victoza about two months ago with Metformin and Glimepiride. Blood sugar was running close to 200 but is now 85 - 110. Side effects, nausea, loss of appetite, small helpings fill me up. This seems a small price to pay for the end results. Thank you." | 10 | July 27, 2011 | 9 | 48 |
6,783 | Beyaz | birth control | "I have been on Beyaz for almost 3 weeks more for endometriosis. So far I am tired all the time, my breasts have increased a size and are constantly sore. I am hot most of the time (I am normally cold) and my sex drive has increased. I was placed on this because I am having unbearable cramping and pain when having sex. I am unable to afford the Laproscopy at this time so my doctor has placed me on Beyaz. The pains have gone from an 11 to about a 2, YAY! So far I have not had any pains during sex. I know that I still need to have this procedure and that this pill will not eliminate the problem but it is a great help. Just wish the pain in my breast would stop!" | 8 | January 10, 2012 | 9 | 137 |
23,339 | Apremilast | psoriatic arthritis | "My rheumatologist gave me 2 sample packs of Otezla, and by the time I finished the first pack, I could see a major difference in my skin plaques. They had all but disappeared. When I completed the second pack, they were gone, and the pain in my joints, especially my fingers, was improving. To me, this is a miracle drug. I type for a living, and my fingers were becoming so stiff, I thought I was going to have to quit my job. No flakes from my scalp, no plaques on the back of my legs, upper arms, or anywhere else they normally appeared. I haven't lost any weight so far. It's terribly expensive, but my rheumatologist gave me a 0 co-pay card with the samples, and I got on the program with Otezla with just one phone call for a year." | 10 | October 14, 2015 | 43 | 142 |
44,285 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "This was my first birth control. Each time I was going to try something new (Trinessa, Nuvaring, and now Ocella) I was really nervous because of the reviews. But if it helps, I did pretty well with Trinessa. No bad side effects except for when I would miss one and double up, it inevitably meant throwing up without notice and that's why I switched to Nuvaring. But obviously, I shouldn't have been missing pills to begin with. I'm on Ocella now and I've never missed one, so I don't know if it's that I'm sensitive to nausea with doubling up, or if it was the Trinessa." | 7 | February 17, 2011 | 3 | 106 |
177,348 | Duloxetine | anxiety | "First day I took the first 20mg capsule...thought I was going to have a seizure and was having a full blown panic attack. She had given me this for anxiety and for pain (didn't help either: in fact made BOTH the pain and anxiety worse) I couldn't sleep that night. I was supposed to try it for 3 weeks before she upped my dose but I said no way. I threw the bottle away and don't ever want to put one in my body again. It almost strangely reminded me of being on a stimulant (adderall or vyvanse) but it wasn't pleasant or made me focus. I was extremely distracted and panicking so much. I cried for hours." | 1 | January 16, 2017 | 39 | 118 |
146,917 | Alprazolam | depression | "I know what it's like to lose 30 pounds in one month from depression. No appetite, can't walk without getting tired, laying in bed all day crying & nightmares night after night. It's so annoying when psychs' won't prescribe this because of fear of addiction. Well guess what? If I hadn't have found xanax, I would have committed suicide a long time ago. You can take this medicine long term if you have severe depression and are responsible." | 10 | October 11, 2016 | 82 | 78 |
119,077 | Zoloft | panic disorde | "I have been on Zoloft 100mg for a few months now for my anxiety/panic disorder. It has completely controlled my panic attacks, which is awesome. When I first started this medicine I became depressed, had suicidel thoughts, and no appetite. But those have since gone away as well. The only issue I have noticed still is I have no sex drive. Just wondering if this is normal with this drug and if it will eventually go back to normal." | 7 | February 5, 2009 | 90 | 79 |
99,153 | Lutera | birth control | "The first birth control I ever used was Ortho-Cyclen. I took it to help lighten my periods and was on it for about 9 months. Though it did help with my periods, I just didn't like the woman I became on it. I then switched to the patch and experienced the same thing. Next was the Depo shot. Ladies beware! To follow were 3 months of complete hell. My mood was constantly up and down and just about anything could send me into hysterics. Refusing to continue with the shot I asked my doctor for a low hormone birth control and she suggested Lutera. It's been 5 months now and I couldn't be more satisfied. My skin is clear, I went from a B to a D cup, and best of all, no mood swings! I am so happy with this pill. I 100% recommend it." | 10 | July 8, 2012 | 17 | 146 |
135,344 | Tamiflu | influenza | "I have taken Tamiflu once in the past & don't recall anything like what I just went through taking it that was also almost 5 years ago, but I feel like if it was this bad I'd remember! I was diagnosed Sunday at Urgent Care with the flu.The first day of medication it was amazing,I thought yes this is working, the second day not so much !I had a horrible headache, was completely drained like to the point of not wanting to move to go to the bathroom, & to say it gave me bowel issues is an understatement!I had horrible diarrhea from it to the point of it happening while I slept!!!I have never had that happen too me with any meds or sickness! I emailed my regular doctor (it was after office hours) & she responded with Stop it!!!!" | 2 | March 16, 2017 | 4 | 141 |
161,405 | Ortho Tri-Cyclen | birth control | "I'm using this pill for the second time -- for the last few years, I didn't need birth control as the man I was committed to had a vasectomy. The first time I used Ortho TriCyclen I was 18 and continued use until 21. Now I'm 25 and have been using it again for 2 months now.
I love this pill! The only negatives I've experienced have been very mild and include slight weight gain (5 lbs), but mainly in the breasts and hips (and whoever complained about looking more like an hourglass??), and I've also, after two periods on it, have noticed that my periods are more painful. It's not awful in my case, I never really had a problem with cramping anyway without the pill. But, my periods are very light, short (2-3 days), and manageable. No complaints!" | 10 | September 17, 2014 | 29 | 140 |
191,415 | Lisdexamfetamine | binge eating disorde | "I have struggled with BED for years. I have been in therapy and tried many different coping mechanisms. I even tried joining Overeaters Anonymous. Nothing worked. I started to see a psychiatrist who tried me on an antidepressant. While I must admit I did have a general sense of feeling better I was still binging. I have been on Vyvanase 30mg for about 6 weeks now. I have not binged in those 6 weeks! At first I did experience headaches, nothing a Tylenol couldn't take care of. The headaches disappeared after a week. I still feel the urge to binge at times but the Vyvanse along with the coping skills puts me back in control. Thanks to this medication I am in control of my binges and my health." | 10 | March 2, 2016 | 58 | 129 |
184,552 | Hydroxyzine | anxiety | "This medication does help with my anxiety, but after about an hour I'm so tired. I have trouble staying awake, and then I sleep on and off for half the day. On a better note though it does help me control my anxiety attacks." | 6 | February 7, 2010 | 13 | 44 |
90,703 | Chateal | birth control | "This pill isn't horrible but it isn't pleasant. You just have to ride out the initial side effect you feel, (if you do, everyone is different) Mood swings and nausea were my biggest side effects. My mood swings were so awful, my boyfriend and I had constant non stop fighting that nearly brought us to the end of our relationship numerous times. Its something you cant explain. I was so irritable for no reason and somehow always took it out on him. I just started my 5th month pack and everything is so much better. My body has probably adjusted to the pill already." | 7 | May 19, 2016 | 2 | 104 |
46,901 | Xenical | obesity | "I took Xenical years ago. Was working a very physical postal job so I did get quite a bit of exercise but before taking it had not lost much. Once I started it, I lost thirty pounds within a couple of months with very little effort. Side effects were minimal as long as I didnt eat excessive fat but as good as it worked, I could handle them." | 10 | November 2, 2014 | 150 | 68 |
51,279 | Azithromycin | chlamydia infection | "I'm 17 and live in Australia at first I thought I just had a UTI but boy was I wrong, a urine test, tested positive for chlamydia, telling my boyfriend was the worst of it and now he thinks I cheated on him... (and didn't and never would) but I've only been sexual active with 3 other guys and I've ALWAYS used protection with them and the reason me and my current bf didn't use protection was because we didn't have any (dumb I know) but now I'm suffering so much pain in my stomach and I can hardly move and I'm terrified to tell my mum about it! God this better work" | 9 | October 8, 2015 | 6 | 113 |
75,982 | Tudorza Pressair | copd | "It opens things up well but my case is advanced and it does not last more than 2 or 3 hours. My lung function is under 30% so YMMV. Also take Advair and albuterol. Good luck to all." | 8 | May 27, 2015 | 15 | 38 |
81,862 | Liraglutide | weight loss | "Crazy start during 1st of holidays (Oct.) but had upper endoscopy done to help with some constriction. The extra weight was affecting my health and wellbeing so I did not want to wait to start. My doc had a trial kit to start with then I got my first month's prescription. Used insurance to absorb part of the cost and the coupon that was given by the manufacturer. Dubious & nervous of injections, I pushed forward as possibility of better health was worth the anxiety of sticking myself. Needles are tiny & you inject into the fatty areas so you don't really feel it while sticking. There can be achiness or stinging in the injection site sometimes. Started having rash & itching at some shot sites but have lost 8 lbs. & feel like exercising now." | 8 | December 15, 2016 | 18 | 136 |
141,376 | Escitalopram | depression | "Lexapro has been a major positive in my life. I've suffered from depression for over 10 years now and taking this pill has solved so many issues I didn't even know where to begin to diagnose myself. My head became stable and generally positive and happy everyday. Its almost impossible to feel THAT down anymore. Another few positives has been that it has helped me slow way way down on my smoking and I have no real desire to drink alcohol, not that I'm free from stress. My sexual desire has actually INCREASED. When you are so stressed all the time your sex drive normally goes down, so now that I am released from stress because of this pill I'm doing things I was never able to do before." | 9 | September 23, 2014 | 211 | 129 |
9,179 | Lo Loestrin Fe | birth control | "I'm 18 years old to anyone who wants a teenagers perspective. I've been on this pill for 3 months now & I really like it. The first week of taking this pill I was a little nauseous. I have really bad chronic depression & extreme anxiety & this contraceptive doesn't effect my moods whatsoever. I did gain a little bit of weight but I have always been really small so weight gain didn't bother me. I've noticed a big increase in appetite. My acne has gone unphased. I've read that a lot of people have lost their sex drive while on this birth-control, but it is the exact opposite for me. Unfortunately I've noticed some vaginal dryness during sex which is terrible. But it's lessened my periods to two days each month. I strongly recommend!" | 8 | September 19, 2017 | 1 | 135 |
121,322 | Venlafaxine | major depressive disorde | "It took 3 years to figure out that it was the Effexor that was causing my constipation. I was given MORE prescriptions to counter-act, but that just didn't work-actually moved me to beyond the other end of the spectrum. After forgetting a dose and experiencing the withdrawal symptoms, I immediately wanted to get off, but because I really didn't have any other options, I just continued on. I have tried many other different medications to help cope with depression and anxiety-Effexor seemed to work on the brain, but what it did to my guts is far worse. Multiple imaging, ER visits, unnecessary surgery and even a trip to the Mayo Clinic to figure out why I couldn't poop. To me, Effexor is POISON" | 2 | May 5, 2016 | 15 | 123 |
190,937 | Hyoscyamine | irritable bowel syndrome | "I was prescribed this drug in sublingual tablet form to treat my horrible and frequent episodes of diarrhea (1-2 times a day). Anytime I feel that horrible pain and urge feeling, I take one of these tablets and the feeling is gone instantly. I get very sad when thinking about all of the years I missed out not having this drug, but am thankful to have it now. Only side effect i've noticed is very slight dizziness and an faster heart rate. Also, the sublingual tabs will break up into a powder if you don't keep them upright and not bouncing around." | 10 | July 1, 2015 | 33 | 102 |
225,520 | Bupropion | depression | "I am on Day 3 and I am starting to notice some if not all of the effects. My mood is stabilising and I am finding my motivation returning to me. I need it for when I get into my doctoral program! I can find pleasure in things I enjoy again. I don't have overtly pessimistic and sad thoughts as much. I'm not crying as much. Before I started taking this medicine I was not at rock bottom, but I did not want to feel like awful anymore. Depression is a real disease. The medications do help." | 10 | July 20, 2014 | 156 | 97 |
89,414 | Celexa | anxiety and stress | "I'm a 16 year old female. I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety disorder, anorexia and bulimia about 2 years ago. I attempted suicide 3 times and I really thought there was no hope. Zoloft did nothing for me. It was awful. But then along came Celexa and its awesome. I no longer wake up and feel like I'm drowning and my lungs are going to explode. I can get up out of bed and not hate everything. I can go about my day without worrying about every little thing. I no longer get panic attacks. It's awesome. I have lost weight too. I totally recommend Celexa, best things I've ever tried. " | 10 | April 11, 2014 | 204 | 112 |
140,400 | Ubiquinone | dietary supplementation | "CoQ10 has definitely helped me feel better and have more energy! I take 3 statin type medications for my high cholesterol which include Zocor, Niaspan, and Zitia. I also take Ziac for lowering my blood pressure. Before taking CoQ10 I felt very run down and tired. I now have much more energy and feel better. It has made a positive difference for me, and my doctor said it was great for the heart!!" | 10 | September 18, 2009 | 29 | 73 |
31,813 | Miconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "Hi everyone so I just read all the reviews! and this is my second yeast infection I had a TERRIBLE one 4 years ago, I got this one from taking a BV antibiotic. I took it upon myself to take the Monistat 7 treatment I'm on night two and when first inserting and putting on my outer lips it burns for a half hr then there is relief. The key is to ladies take a water bottle from ur fridge or freezer and put it in between ur legs on ur vagina outside loose cotton underwear its a lifesaver! Do this off and on! Also eat probiotic yogurt drink water, only wash ur vagina with water no soap. I hope this helps and I just want mine too go away but I may need something Stronger like Diflucan. Also this product does not work for every woman." | 7 | September 6, 2015 | 9 | 147 |
88,056 | Clindamycin | skin or soft tissue infection | "Took this for 10 days after dental surgery. A week or so later I developed pretty much non-stop diarrhea which was then diagnosed as Clostridium Difficlle, aka CD,
Took drugs for 7 months (Flagyl) until it finally went away with Vancomycin.
Stay away from Clindamycin !" | 1 | May 30, 2015 | 15 | 46 |
72,211 | Tramadol | ibromyalgia | "I've got fibromyalgia, as well as osteoarthritis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome-C, anxiety/depression, and ulcers. I've tried EVERYTHING, but because my tummy is so sensitive, most medicines make my constipation problem worse, or upset my stomach. Plus, the "usual" side effects of many medicines (feeling hungover, bloating, weight gain, etc) can be just as debilitating as the condition itself. Tramadol helps with ALL of my problems without unbearable side effects! My doctor wanted me to wean off of it, so I tried other medicines again (gabapentin, Cymbalta) but my body just does not like any of them. I am quite thin, and only take 25-50 mg a day (I cut the pills in half!) and this works for me. I have not had to increase this dosage and it's been about a year." | 10 | March 10, 2014 | 106 | 131 |
229,417 | Lurasidone | bipolar disorde | "This medicine has changed my life!! I have battled depression for years. Although my psychiatrist had me on more than 1 antidepressant I would still have days I would get up and be in a black hole. I never knew how long it would last - days or weeks. My diagnosis was Major Depressive Disorder - Reoccurring. I just couldn't understand with all the meds why I still struggled so much with the monster of depression. I talked to my psychiatrist about it and he started Latuda. The sky is bluer the grass is greener and I know what joy is!" | 10 | November 2, 2016 | 62 | 101 |
191,845 | Lisdexamfetamine | adhd | "I have tried typing a response and recommendation for this medication but keep running out of space. In short, this drug absolutely changed my life. As adults, we all remember certain days in our life, i.e., our first kiss, graduation, birth of a child, getting married, etc. I will always remember Saturday, December 8, 2007 as the day where my life changed because of Vyvanse. The only side effect for me was a complete loss of appetite for about a month. But in my case, that's not such a bad thing! I was taking 50mg for about 6 months and now have taken 70mgs for the last 16 months." | 10 | October 8, 2009 | 55 | 109 |
29,630 | Topiramate | migraine prevention | "I started Topamax two days ago. I was very scared to try this medicine because of all the side effects and put off trying it for years. So far I have had the numb/tingling extremities and what seems to be a bit of a brain fog (trouble focusing,recalling words) I also noticed that soda doesn't taste the same. I drank one today and it was HORRIBLE! I also feel really lightheaded. I am determined to ride this one out for as long as possible, though. I've tried most other medications without success so this really is my last hope." | 6 | June 15, 2013 | 12 | 99 |
122,841 | Linaclotide | constipation, chronic | "I honestly didn't realize that I was constipated because I would have a bowel motion once a day. I went into the GI for a different issue and when I left I was told I was actually, "full of poop" and that is why I was having the initial issue. Since being on the medication I do not feel bloated or achy anymore, something I hadn't really paid attention to, to begin with. But, with this medication I actually GO to the bathroom like I should.
I workout everyday - running, cardio, weight training... and this has made it a little difficult for that. Just because I like to work out in the morning and that is actually the worst part of the day for me with this medication.
I will continue taking this just because it makes me feel so much better!" | 9 | April 28, 2014 | 103 | 143 |
189,146 | Oxycodone | chronic pain | "I have been taking oxycodone, 15mg tabs, 4 times a day, for a couple of years, for severe joint, neck, & back pain. My Doctor says this is the maximum dose for the drug. I am a 300 pound, 5' 6'', 75 year old, male. The medicine works at about 85% to 90% level, for about 4 hours for me. I think I need to increase the dose to every 4 hours or 6 hours a day or move up to 20mg tablets." | 8 | October 8, 2016 | 16 | 83 |
98,121 | Nexplanon | birth control | "First two months on this implant were great! No pain with insertion, normal periods (maybe one day longer total), slight breast tenderness, no noticeable change in sex drive/weight/attitude. But that's were my good review ends, sadly. 4 days after my second period I started bleeding heavily. This has lasted for 3+ weeks, and I got it removed yesterday bc I cannot deal with it anymore. Since the bleeding started I broke out, have been increasingly up then down, on the verge of tears most days, and barely feeling sexual (probably due to the fact I'm bleeding). NP at planned parenthood has said lots of women have gotten this removed because of bleeding that lasts for weeks, and that it may take me a few MORE weeks to stop." | 4 | July 29, 2015 | 3 | 128 |
180,618 | Adderall XR | adhd | "I started out taking the regular Adderall version, but it didn't last long and made me have horrible crash periods and steroid like rages. So far, the Adderall XR seems to be working better, but it does reduce my appetite substantially. I've had to start taking weight gain supplements to ensure that I maintain my proper weight. If I miss a dose, I feel pretty lethargic and extremely sleepy.
However, the medication has allowed me to read and focus better than I ever have, and I seem more motivated. I'm also able to talk better with others, and my social skills have definitely improved." | 8 | August 12, 2015 | 47 | 104 |
160,306 | Buspirone | anxiety | "I left a review awhile back, but now I have to revise it. When I first started taking Buspar I was happy with it, but then it stopped working for me. I'm now on the max dosage of 60 mg. I take 30 mg in the morning & 30 mg in the evening, but it is not helping me at all. I still have very bad anxiety, panic attacks & paranoia. Since it isn't doing anything for me I will probably stop taking it." | 1 | February 15, 2017 | 37 | 84 |
186,712 | Lisdexamfetamine | adhd | "Very strong. The best ADHD medication. It's very, very costly but works great. I highly recommend it. I finally feel normal and like Visa, "that's truly priceless". I am 22 years old and been on all ADD medicines. Finally found one that's perfect for me. Life is great. Even great for my depression. It's a miracle drug. Thanks for your time." | 10 | February 2, 2009 | 0 | 61 |
29,586 | Topiramate | migraine prevention | "I've been suffering badly with migraines nearly everyday for the past 18 months while sitting my GCSE exams, so it made it even more difficult as I couldn't concentrate. I was put on these tablets 2 months ago and they have massively helped, while they have not got rid of the migraines completely, rather than having one every day and not being good for anything at all times I tend to go weeks without one and just suffer with a migraine for 2-3 days which I much prefer as I know that most days I will be fine. I have had most side effects but they are manageable; pins and needles, memory loss, clumsiness, runny nose, sore throat, swollen joints, mixing words, tired all the time, unable to sleep a full night, lack of concentration and more." | 8 | August 31, 2014 | 15 | 137 |
67,933 | Plan B | emergency contraception | "I had unprotected sex no excuses for my reckless behavior. Took the pill 3 hours later and was extremely afraid of the possibility of ending up pregunte. Lucky for me my period came 11 days early. I felt no side affects and nothing felt differente. The pill is extremely useful. If you are reading this don't stress. I'm extremely glad for this pill!" | 9 | June 29, 2016 | 8 | 63 |
121,905 | Venlafaxine | depression | "Helped a ton post-partum. Suffered depression long after both my babies were born. Insomnia is common and I took sleep aids for the first year. Any tiny disturbance in taking it is NOT RECOMMENDED...Worst I have ever felt. The "brain zaps" are like a special kind of torture and my appetite is simply non existent...not good for someone already under weight. It saved me for a long time but the choice to come off was heavily weighed against the withdrawal symptoms. I am suffering through it a week later. Anxiety getting better but physically there is not much change." | 9 | September 23, 2012 | 1 | 99 |
129,863 | Levonorgestrel | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I inserted it due to excessive bleeding. It was torture putting it in and I spent the remainder of the day in bed. Periods stopped after 3 months. I was a reasonably fit boot camper. I went from being able to run 2km without a rest to not able to run 100m without ventolin virtually immediately after the insertion. It took me over a year to question the Mirena. I talked to my GP and we tested if I had developed asthma coincidentally. I am not an asthmatic. I asked my GP to remove it. She couldn't locate the strings. I had to visit a gyno (took 12mths to get the courage) who fished around with her tool to locate the string and remove it. I put on weight, even while exercising. I developed fat around my waist. I regret getting it." | 4 | April 23, 2015 | 13 | 142 |
131,617 | Effexor XR | generalized anxiety disorde | "Started on Zydus Pharm generic Venlafaxine ER 37.5 mg for 1 week, then on to 75mg. Been about 6 weeks on medication. First 3 days I felt amazing, immediate relief of anxiety. After that the side effects were very difficult. Everything in me told me this was not the right medication for me, constant mood swings, anxiety, insomnia. I stuck through after reading positive reviews hoping when side effects cleared up, it would work well for me based on first few days experience. Side effects disappeared suddenly right on the 3 week mark, and medication really started to work. After reading reviews on generic vs. brand name, switched to name brand. Name brand definitely feels cleaner and more effective. Generic side effects went away immediately." | 10 | November 9, 2016 | 19 | 125 |
12,157 | Metaxalone | muscle spasm | "I had muscle spasms from sleeping on my stomach and I couldn't function much at all. I told my doctor I needed something to relieve the pain but something I could function on at work and while driving. She prescribed this and I love it. The only thing I can tell from it whenever I take is relief of my spasms. No drowsiness or loopiness for me." | 10 | March 19, 2010 | 32 | 67 |
17,946 | Ethinyl estradiol / etonogestrel | birth control | "I wish I started using this before but hesitated because of the size and hardness of the ring. I didn't know then that it kind of softens a bit when inside your vaginal canal. During the first week of use, I did experience some vaginal discharge. This is normal though because it is a foreign object inside you. It did subside after a couple of days probably because my body got used to it. I also had a very very slight mood swing, nothing that I can't handle, but it went away after 2 weeks or so. My hubby said that he doesn't feel it during sex, which I'm so glad. Overall, this is an awesome birth control for me being a very busy nursing student. I'm also a self-pay patient, but my dr. gave me a 50% off discount card for the next 12 rings. 10%u2605s" | 10 | April 15, 2013 | 5 | 147 |
39,318 | Contrave | weight loss | "2 days into my 3rd week on Contrave. I've lost 9 pounds with no change in exercise habits. Not because the meds are controlling my cravings, but because I am way too nauseous to eat. I kid you not, the nausea is almost unbearable. There are days I can't get off the couch without throwing up. I am going to stick with it to see what happens when I get to the final 4 pill dosage and things become stable. I'm not giving up but just wanted people to know to expect the nausea. Just looking at food commercials on tv makes me gag. Smelling the cat food when I feed them, sends me running for the restroom. And I have thrown up more meals than I've kept down...I feel like one of those bulimic supermodels." | 9 | February 10, 2017 | 22 | 136 |
131,827 | Effexor XR | depression | "I have been taking the generic, Venlafaxine for about 6 years. My doctor settled on 75 mg once daily, as increasing the dosage makes my hands tremble. It is not nearly as effective as it once was. Withdrawals for this medication are hellish. I ran out of pills on a few occasions and felt like I was losing mind. I really would like to slowly taper off and eventually be free of this medicine." | 6 | October 1, 2014 | 59 | 74 |
30,551 | Miconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "Took the one day formula. Once the ovule disintegrated, I started to experience the most painful itching and burning... I have a high pain tolerance but I’m sitting here almost in tears experiencing this. Can’t believe I spent almost 20 bucks to feel this type of pain." | 1 | November 21, 2017 | 5 | 47 |
173,034 | Clonazepam | panic disorde | "Honestly this medication is amazing. The only draw back is that some Dr.'s don't want to prescribe it because it is a controlled substance. I feel so normal when I take this. I deal with heavy anxiety. My panic attacks are an everyday battle. From the heart attack feeling, sweaty palms, closed throat, difficulty breathing, feeling like I'm dying and unable to work, drive, or get out of my bed this medication has given me my life back. I have 3 small children to care for and they need me! I am a much calmer mother. I have anger issues too. This medication helped me deal with my infuriating anxiety. I was so sick of feeling doomed and I hated feeling so weak. I have been on it for 6 Years. No complaints." | 10 | March 6, 2013 | 176 | 133 |
163,047 | Medrol Dosepak | allergic rhinitis | "This medicine was prescribed to treat Allergic Rhinitis and I have had terrible leg spasms and leg pain. I have eaten potassium-rich foods and have stay led hydrated but the pain will no go away. I cannot sleep due to the leg pain. I will never take this medicine again unless it is for life saving measures." | 4 | January 11, 2016 | 11 | 57 |
204,513 | BuSpar | anxiety | "Works wonders for me. My doctor started me on 10mg's 2x daily a month ago. Now I am on 15mg's 2x daily. Once in the morning and one in the evening. I have taken anti-depressants for years now and have tried almost every one of them on the market. Finally, I made myself see a psychiatrist. I was dealing with uncontrollable outbursts of anger. It made life difficult to the point I just wanted to stay at home alone. This was NOT me. After a few days of taking this medicine I felt like I could deal with everyday life again. Still taking things piece by piece but seemingly my moods are improving slightly because of this medicine. Give it a try." | 8 | August 23, 2012 | 69 | 122 |
146,040 | Suboxone | opiate dependence | "2nd time detoxing. After using heroin roughly 3 months I was approaching a .5 - .7 a day habit. I started on subs again. This time total sub time 8 months. Started at 8 dropped to 6 within a month. Stayed at 6 for a 3-4 months while working. dropped to 4mg for about 30-45 days. From here I did a rapid taper. Once at 2mg I stayed at 2 for about 3 weeks dropped to 1mg for about 1 week (started feeling sluggish and major lack of energy but no sickness.) From there 1 week at .5 mg no energy no sickness still. Finally 1 week at .25 of a film basically a speck still no energy but still no sickness. From the jump off: days 1and 2 absolutely no energy but NO sickness and ate food. Day 3 75% normal. Take motion sickness pills &valarin root" | 10 | September 17, 2015 | 56 | 148 |
117,031 | Synvisc-One | osteoarthritis | "Its been 3 weeks since my first Synvisc One injection in both knees, left knee unbearable pain since day of injection. Pain in places I didn't have before. Pain behind my knee and down my leg, can't sleep, walk or barely drive without pain. I am a professional dog walker and this was supposed to help not hurt. Will never get again! (I'm 42, severe bone on bone arthritis in both knees, have had 4 years of cortisone injections every few months, and take anti inflammatory prescription daily, have tried physical therapy 3 times) I guess I will just wait for knee replacements, and put my life on hold until then." | 2 | April 17, 2017 | 24 | 111 |
92,897 | Vortioxetine | major depressive disorde | "First time using an anti depressant this long. I have tried others and couldn't stay on them for more than one day because of terrible dizziness and other strange side effects. I'm only on 5 mg because I have a low tolerance for any type of medication. I did experience some nausea but I sleep well and feel a lot better than I did before taking this...if you are also someone who doesn't believe in anti depressant medicine but has tried natural alternatives that haven't worked I would definitely give this a try on a low dose very good medication!" | 8 | March 1, 2017 | 36 | 100 |
190,036 | Depakene | seizures | "I was on this for 4 1/2 years, right up to a very high dose. I got the side effect of constantly feeling hungry yet never feeling full, no matter how much I ate. That immediately caused me to gain 10 lbs. a month for 6 months: 60 pounds! It also gave me the side effects of major depression and a generally unpleasant mood overall.
It was of the usual average effectiveness in controlling my seizures, which began due to neurological brain damage in a traffic accident.
Note: This medication is highlyY dangerous to pregnant women. It will cause permanent damage to their fetus." | 5 | July 16, 2015 | 5 | 104 |
134,153 | Prednisone | allergic reactions | "I had a severe itch for almost a month. The doctor couldn't make a formal diagnosis. I had red itchy spots all over me and I was MISERABLE. I was prescribed a predisone pack of 21 pills 10mg to take over a span of 5 or 6 days and by the third day the itching and scratching had subsided tremendously. I'm not sure if it was an allergic reaction to something I came in contact with as I have never had a problem like this before. This medicine truly saved me...It did make me have an appetite but since it took care of my problem that issue was insignificant." | 9 | June 1, 2016 | 45 | 109 |
14,330 | Testim | hypogonadism, male | "My husband was prescribed this medication since insurance won't cover Androgel. It literally smells like dead animal. Anyone who says women love this stuff is delusional. It makes both of us gag." | 1 | September 19, 2017 | 2 | 32 |
132,376 | Ativan | anxiety | "I am a 79 year old woman. I was prescribed 1MG of Ativan years ago for sleep as I am a naturally anxious person...worrier etc. Last November I went through a traumatizing surgery on my back and came up with GAD. I was put on Cymbalta, which made me very sick. I was left with this jittery, crying daily problem and I finally asked if I could break up a 1MG Ativan pill and take some of it when I felt these awful jitters coming on. He agreed it was O.K. I resisted it for a week or two after reading some of the posts but I now think I am old and I need to stop being anxiety ridden. My family deserves for me to be normal. If taking Ativan accomplishes this. O.K." | 10 | May 6, 2010 | 46 | 134 |
80,329 | GaviLyte-G | bowel preparation | "Used it for a bowel prep before a hysterectomy. You have to drink it fast. I got distracted with the first glass and drank it too slow. Got off to a bad start. I had horrible stomach bloating and pain while I was drinking. It took about 2 1/2 hours for me to start going. My bum is on fire but I am mostly clear and just liquid coming out. Also made me very nauseous. There has got to be a better way." | 8 | June 8, 2016 | 13 | 83 |
68,392 | Calcitriol | psoriasis | "I have mild psoriasis on elbows; been using Tazorac and/or Metamosone. Got a 'script for Vectical; the outcome has been quite good. Still can see some slightly red spots (which helps daily re-treatment), but mostly the skin now appears normal. I bought a second tube before my coupons expired (see below).
The shock is the price: Without insurance, this would cost $600/tube. Insurance co-pay was $65, and Vectical has a coupon that pays the co-pay, so it cost me $0." | 8 | May 21, 2012 | 6 | 80 |
12,234 | Loryna | acne | "I was given Loryna for the first time a week ago. I used to have Gianvi and I enjoyed it. I just started birth control again after having my son and done with breast feeding. And so far it's been great. The first day or two I felt a little nauseous but not too bad. And I haven't developed any new pimples since I started the pack. My sex drive seems to have gone up! Surprisingly. I like that. No side effects for me yet. So far so good." | 9 | September 8, 2016 | 4 | 89 |
