106,781 | Implanon | birth control | "I'm 20 years old and horrible at taking the pill everyday. So I've had this lovely bar in my arm for almost a year now. I've had one period and no cramps what so ever. But the weight gain has been crazy. I have in total almost gained 30 pounds!! Definitely getting this removed and just going to have to suck it up and take the pill" | 6 | May 20, 2015 | 3 | 67 |
183,480 | Cymbalta | ibromyalgia | "I have been taking Cymbalta for several years, having my dose upped slowly to a total of 90mg taken throughout the day. 30mg in the morning and 60mg at bedtime and even with the increases I have not had ANY pain relief that I have noticed from before I started taking the Cymbalta. I can say though that it has somewhat helped me with some depression that I had begun to have due to the fibromyalgia." | 3 | June 3, 2011 | 4 | 76 |
191,870 | Lisdexamfetamine | adhd | "I am a 19 year old college student and just got prescribed Vyvanse about 2 days ago. When I take it I mainly feel relaxed and sometimes excited. I've never been on any stimulant or ADD medication before. My main concern is losing weight on this medicine. I'm about 5'9" and weigh about 135lbs. I eat a lot and I'm still fairly skinny. I've always worried about my weight and the last thing I want is to get skinnier." | 9 | January 12, 2010 | 6 | 79 |
34,940 | Migranal | migraine | "This drug DAMN near killed me.. took as prescribed with in minutes I was confused and lost consciousness.. ended up in the ED . Woke up the next day with my face swollen double its size and having no idea what happened to me... DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION!!!" | 1 | November 28, 2016 | 4 | 49 |
63,136 | Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate | bowel preparation | "Had done this process 3 timesbefore, 1st time use Prepopkit. Co-pay is $125 since insurance won't cover this. Followed instruction exactly and no effect ion. No BM after 1st dose, has three after 2nd dose. I have one hour left and still not clean. Sucks." | 1 | February 22, 2017 | 5 | 45 |
215,928 | Copper | birth control | "I was so nervous, but sooooo sick of taking a pill everyday for 10 yrs! didnt like the hormones. figured I'd try the IUD paraguard. Uncomfortable pinch when put in, but quickly over. and now 8 months later...aside from occasional minor cramping, nothing else changed. Periods were not longer, just a bit heavier for the first few months but now are back to normal. So glad I decided to try this. I feel so free not having to be slave to a pill daily. Would recommend to try and see how this works for your body. it was free through my insurance. def dont miss paying for pills every month!" | 10 | March 16, 2016 | 12 | 110 |
198,881 | Depo-Provera | birth control | "I've had a Horrible experience. I only got one shot and I won't be returning to get the second one. It's been a month now and I'm still on my period.I HATE IT!!" | 1 | November 1, 2016 | 7 | 33 |
214,108 | Tioconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "I've only had two YI. The first one went away within a couple days. This one im currently going through started Saturday. It is currently thursday, and I decided to try monistat. I put in the ovule and used the cream and felt immediate relief. After about 30 minutes It felt very runny down there. I went to the bathroom, and when i layed back down, all hell broke loose. I felt an immense burning in and around my vagina. If this doesnt feel better by tomorrow, i will not be using monistat for the fact that the side affects hurt a million times more than the actual infection. Praying its better in the morning! Putting a cold wash cloth on it helps." | 1 | May 20, 2016 | 4 | 123 |
86,653 | Gemifloxacin | bronchitis | "8 days on Factive - cured the bronchitis - worsened everything else. On the 8th day I got an allergic reaction that got even worse on the next day, swollen lips, unbelievably itchy rash covering head to toe. Took nearly a week of treatment. Had to get injections to calm it down. A quick look on the internet shows that this reaction is common after having finished taking the medicine." | 1 | June 28, 2014 | 0 | 70 |
109,309 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I have had nexplanon for 5 months and I have mixed feelings about it. When it first got inserted I have a period for about 2 weeks and then didn't have one for about 3 months (woohoo!) But now I have had spotting for about 3 weeks and it is just annoying. I haven't experienced any other side effects which is why I give it an 8. I just want the spotting to stop! A friend told me she had experienced the same thing but her spotting only lasted two weeks - hoping it stops soon." | 8 | January 6, 2017 | 4 | 96 |
183,453 | Cymbalta | depression | "I have been taking Cymbalta for about 2 months. I started out with the 30mg and now I am taking 120mg 1x day. I take Cymbalta for Depression, Diabetic Pain, Psoriatic Arthritis Pain, Fibromyalgia, Weight Loss. But I have noticed about 3 days after starting the 120mg a day my psoriasis flared up very bad. I have not added anything new to my diet. The only different was the increase of the Cymbalta. I will keep on taking the medication at that dose. I will just keep on using a lot of creams to help with the Psoriasis rash. I must also say I have been losing a lot of Weight which is a good thing." | 9 | July 29, 2011 | 13 | 116 |
99,694 | Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate | bowel preparation | "This is the 3rd time I have had to take a prep for a colonoscopy/bowel surgery but the 1st time with this prep. I have to say I prefer this one over the 1 I had before. It is much easier and less painful then drinking 8oz every 15 minutes with the awful lemon flavor. With suprep after finishing the 16oz with it and the 2 cups of water within an hour of starting I had to go. Any time I try to leave the bathroom I have to go right back. No pain, or discomfort experienced other then being stuck on a toilet for hours. I was scared of experiencing the same unbelievable pain I have had with other preps. I'm relieved this experience is so much better. The taste isn't to bad although I did take meds for nausea before starting." | 9 | December 19, 2016 | 20 | 143 |
97,838 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I'm happy with my implant cause I don't need to worry about taking tablets all the time. My period use to be really heavy, 2 weeks long and very painful. I now hardly ever have my monthly, I've had it twice but for two weeks but on and off and much less painful and lighter. The only bad things is I'm always tired, I get down a lot and rather be on my own and I've gained about a stone and a half in a year. My boobs get sore once and a while which is a little uncomfortable at times. But my skin has gotten so bad, constant new spots, everyday a new one, maybe two or three, hate my skin! My hairs gotten a lot greasier as well. I'm please with the implant helping my period and I can live with the bad skin and weight gain xxx" | 8 | October 22, 2015 | 2 | 150 |
39,344 | Contrave | weight loss | "I was prescribed Contrave when I talked with my doctor about how much weight I've gained recently and my inability to lose weight even with a healthier diet. I just started my 3rd week and am still doing the 1 pill in the morning, 1 pill late afternoon phase since I've already seen improvement in my portion control and have been loosing weight. This has helped me realize how many snacks and how much food I was actually eating at meals. I (for the first time in a long time) can say no to sweets and extra food just because it's there. In less than 3 weeks I've lost 8lbs. I experienced a tight feeling in my stomach for 2 days, but that was very minimal and is gone. No other side effects. Will update review at the end of my prescription" | 10 | January 2, 2017 | 73 | 142 |
182,869 | Cymbalta | diabetic peripheral neuropathy | "Sort of worked but I was sleeping all the time. 12 - 14 hours per day and then could not move the rest of the day. Had to stop after 10 days of being a zombie." | 5 | May 28, 2016 | 18 | 36 |
122,870 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestrel | birth control | "I began talking this pill 4 months ago to help with my PMD. The 2-3 weeks following my period I had extreme irritability/anxiety. My periods were also very heavy and accompanied by severe cramps and extreme fatigue and headaches. My doctor recommended this pill to level out hormones and help with cramps. This pill has been amazing. My periods are 3-4 days long and very light. I have NO cramps. My face has cleared up except for a couple breakouts on my chin the last day or so of my period, but they are gone in a couple days. I feel so much better on this pill. Incredibly lower levels of irritability/anxiety." | 10 | December 29, 2015 | 7 | 112 |
65,019 | Sertraline | panic disorde | "I have suffered from severe anxiety and panic attacks for almost 13 years. Literally every day I was anxious from the time I woke up until I went to bed. Racing thoughts, constant anxiety, and at one point would hardly go out in public fearing a panic attack. Zoloft has changed my life COMPLETELY!! No more racing thoughts or anxiety!! Feeling like a normal person again and actually enjoying life and even laughing! Took two months to start feeling full results. Main side effect was sleeping all the time and loss of appetite. Highly recommend!!" | 10 | January 25, 2015 | 149 | 95 |
93,818 | Budeprion XL | depression | "Currently on 10mg of Lexparo 1 x a day to help mellow out my anxiety and panic attacks associated with postpartum depression. Was extremely effective, but the effect started wearing off after 2 months. The drowsiness I experienced from the medication was also getting unbearable. Doctor prescribed 150 mg Wellbutrin XL 1 x a day to be used in combination with the 10mg Lexapro. The idea was that it would increase my feelings of well-being while counteracting the drowsiness. Stopped Wellbutrin after 2 days. I experienced anxiety, sleeplessness, bad headaches behind my eyes, nausea and sour stomach. Probably should have given it more time to kick in. Will stick to Lexapro and just drink more coffee." | 4 | August 23, 2010 | 3 | 116 |
178,195 | Duloxetine | depression | "I started taking Cymbalta 6 months ago. I know that they say this medicine can take about 3 weeks to kick in, however, I felt relief within hours of taking it. Maybe it's some medical miracle or my body finally got what it needed. I am a well educated woman who had a rough childhood. I tried different anti-depressants over the years and never felt anything like this. I stopped having suicidal thoughts. The side effects were: loss of appetite and so tired that I had to lay down in the afternoon. The only other medication I take is birth control. I discovered the following: If I take my birth control at night before bed and the 30mg Cymbalta in the morning then I'm not tired. The side effects went away by the 12th week so hang in there!" | 10 | February 10, 2011 | 25 | 139 |
220,463 | Loestrin 24 Fe | birth control | "I've been on the pill for 3 months now, I have experienced extreme nausea, bloating, mood swings, and even crazy cravings! I thought I was pregnant! But after reading these reviews I feel better about the pill, not only that but everything's straightening out so I'm happy. I am also getting curves, which I like very much! Its a great pill." | 8 | October 31, 2011 | 2 | 61 |
226,966 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I absolutely love it! I've had it for 2 yrs only got my period once a few weeks after I got the Implanon and never got a period again. No mood swings, gained a little weight but I don't think it all has to do with the Implanon. No side effects at all. It all depends on how your body reacts to it, I was reading some reviews where they have been bleeding for ever....if that would have been me I would of removed it already." | 10 | October 6, 2014 | 38 | 86 |
181,425 | Prozac | anxiety and stress | "I have always had anxiety however about 7 months ago I began to have panic attacks walking to the shops by myself walking to work, I thought I was going to pass out it was awful. Then one day I just couldn't walk to work, I got half way then I was convinced I was going to faint so walked home. I then realized how out of control my anxiety had become my partner went with me the doctor prescribed me 20mg tablets (once a day). The first 2 weeks my anxiety was definitely heightened it felt like I was losing the plot. However within a month I found myself walking to the shops and work feeling fine. I haven't had a panic attack for over 2 months, I wish I had started this medication sooner I now feel normal again." | 10 | March 8, 2015 | 93 | 141 |
167,339 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "34, no children. I hate hormones but finally gave in due to abnormal uterine bleeding and the hope Liletta would stop my periods. It releases a slightly lower dose of hormones than Mirena which is why I chose it. Had 4 lidocaine shots and insertion was still painful but not unbearable. I've had it for 5 weeks nows, I bled heavy with clots and terrible cramps starting right after insertion for nearly 3 weeks. Then it lightened up to just bleeding during the day but I was still using 3-4 tampons a day. Now I'm finally spotting, with no bleeding in the evening or overnight. I had horrific breast tenderness, moodiness, some bloating but no real weight gain. Also a bit of acne which is very annoying. If my periods stop/lighten I will keep it." | 6 | March 26, 2016 | 3 | 135 |
156,972 | Movantik | opioid-induced constipation | "Works well IF you are meticulous with instructions. My notes: Reliable if taken FIRST THING in the morning with nothing else and full glass of water. Don't eat or ingest for 1+ hrs. If you take a whole tablet after 3-5 days of no BM, expect 4+ bathroom events with 1 life-altering. Don't wait until 5 days have passed. Take a HALF pill every 2-3 days. Then two or three fairly normal events. It will not work as well if you take it later in the day and if you have eaten something that day expect only a 25% function. If you MUST take it later in the day wait for 3 hours after eating and don't eat for several hours. For me it causes slight physical withdrawal symptoms. Used discount card for $20 copay (online)." | 8 | September 9, 2017 | 6 | 136 |
37,544 | Vyvanse | adhd | "I'm 16 and I've taken Vyvanse for months now and it helps a lot with minimal side effects. My mouth does get dry and I become less social but other than that its preferable to Ritalin, as Ritalin is much less smooth in terms of kicking in and wearing off and lasts a lot shorter." | 10 | February 1, 2011 | 1 | 55 |
28,572 | Lexapro | anxiety | "I started taking lexapro for anxiety associated with over analyzing everything.. parents separating.. and getting engaged. The side effects the first couple of weeks included nausea, dizziness, headaches and wide awake feeling at night. The pros: took away the thoughts running through my mind.. blushing.. helped even out all of my emotions. The CONS: I stopped lexapro in December before I wanted to get pregnant and 1 week later I had a massive migraine (never had one) and lost my ability to speak.. see.. it was awful.. rushed to the ER thinking I had a stroke.. everything came back fine. Just remember if you plan on getting off before pregnancy.. give yourself a good few mths. The withdrawls are a NIGHTMARE!!! Dizziness, nausea.,headaches" | 8 | January 25, 2012 | 14 | 123 |
143,669 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "After having my daughter in February of 2012, I got the nexaplon implant because we didn't want another child right off the bat.. I think I only had a period 3 times.. I had it removed June 25, 2015 because we wanted to try for another baby.. Since then, I've had maybe 6 periods.. sounds great, right? No, not great at all. My periods have lasted 11 days, then 2 1/2 weeks, then 4 weeks, 5 weeks, etc. but they're every other month. They've been very heavy periods, I go through 2 1/2 boxes (36 ct.) of super tampons, easily, during my periods. Then they slowly taper off, to leave me with spotting for 2 weeks. Currently, I've been on my period for 3 weeks now. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" | 9 | December 19, 2016 | 5 | 133 |
221,076 | Drysol | hyperhidrosis | "I've had to deal with my sweating problems ever since 4th grade. I am now in college and I'm happier than ever that I found this product. For years I received botox injections to stop my sweating in my armpits. However, that pain was unimaginable. I switched to Drysol and I have never been happier. I can wear my shirts now without having to worry. Definitely would recommend this product to anyone who feels stuck with no solution to their sweating" | 10 | August 20, 2017 | 2 | 81 |
40,159 | Contrave | obesity | "I have been on Contrave for 6 days now, and lost 4 pounds! I'm excited, and can't wait to see how much more I will lose. I have so much energy now. I love having sex now because I have the energy. I'm loving Contrave." | 9 | March 28, 2015 | 70 | 45 |
172,381 | Clonazepam | benzodiazepine withdrawal | "benzos will burn your nervous system and neural circuits, dont be stupid this drug is just a mask to the problem, once you get off it. if you have a panic disorder, your panic attacks will explode during the withdrawal, if you find hope in this drug, I seriously recommend you rethink your life decisions before taking it any further, I had bad experience, it took only 1 benzo for me to realize this isnt the cure. To those people suffering panic attacks, you have to conquer it naturally and with SSRI meds, I wouldn't take the time to come here and write this if I didnt want to help anyone, benzos are like any other illicit drug, they blind you and make you think you just took 5 steps forward, when you come off it you are 100 steps back.GL" | 1 | November 25, 2016 | 26 | 141 |
63,542 | Epiduo | acne | "I started this 9 days ago and I really don't break out that bad, but I was just sick of it. My doctor gave me epiduo and it hasn't made my skin very dry. After reading other reviews I have high hopes because I know after about 3 weeks it will really work (right now I am breaking out because of it) epiduo has worked great for my friends too!" | 7 | November 2, 2015 | 3 | 70 |
194,091 | Gildess Fe 1.5 / 30 | acne | "One day in, and I instantly broke out. I've had clear skin for about a year, up until starting the pill. Each day I took the pill I got another red inflamed pimple. Nothing was helping, and it was making me feel uncomfortable. I read that if the acne was to persist it could be up to 3 months before it went away. I stopped taking the pills after 9 days, and almost instantly the redness subsided. It's been 3 days since stopping the pill and my face is more than halfway back to normal.
On the other hand, I didn't gain any weight or adopt any mood swings, or bleed - but I was only on it for a week." | 1 | February 19, 2016 | 0 | 121 |
86,130 | Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate | bowel preparation | "The first taste of the mix was AWFUL. Its a funky salty thick cherry flavor. They gave me a small window to drink it and then TWO full glasses of water. The medicine made me terribly nauseous and I had a hard time finishing it. It made me shake terribly, light headed and made my heart pound. After about an hour the feeling wore off and the medicine began to work. I went 8 times over the next two hours. The next morning I had to wake up at 330 am to take the second dose. I slammed it as terribly as I didn't want to. Right after I finished it I vomited everywhere. They did still do my test and my bowels were almost cleaned out. I told them I'll never take this prep again. It was my first one and last! I'll take an enema or miralax." | 2 | August 16, 2015 | 12 | 149 |
201,389 | Zoloft | post traumatic stress disorde | "When I find I'm very angry it gives me time to pause and the ability to shake the bad mood I'd normally have afterwards. I rarely experience unjustified sadness, yet when something sad happens I still feel sad. I think it just gives me some breathing room to sort things out." | 8 | April 20, 2015 | 61 | 51 |
32,598 | Lisinopril | high blood pressure | "The very irritating post nasal drip, runny nose, and cough has disrupted my life! I thought I had allergies or a cold and it took me months to connect it to lisinopril. I see my Dr. tomorrow and will be so glad to get rid of this drug and its side effects. My sleep was interupted all night so I was not getting adequate rest. And at work it was embarrasing to keep blowing my nose and coughing. People are hyper-aware of germs these days because of the swine flu thing, (and I work in surgery.)" | 1 | November 23, 2009 | 72 | 96 |
93,914 | Trintellix | depression | "After trying just about every other medicine out there, this has, by far, been the most effective from an emotional, cognitive, and mental standpoint; however, I am sad to say that I have made the decision to discontinue due to weight gain (15 pounds-ish). I gained weight when I first started the medication at 5mg (also had a severe rash on my stomach), with the weight-gain increasing almost immediately after jumping up to 10 mg. The weight gain is the only reason that I am discontinuing. (Some FYI's. I must take this medicine with food or I will be sick. I also take it right before bed as it makes me tired, and also take Lamictal, Trazadone, Buspar, and Ritalin)." | 8 | May 24, 2017 | 35 | 120 |
95,550 | Bontril Slow Release | obesity | "I have only used this medication once and it was amazing for controlling my appetite, even better than phentermine. However, I have migraines and am being treated for them with Topamax. I had a mild headache before taking the Bontril and after taking the Bontril the headache only got worse throughout the day. My energy and mood was terrific, appetite was suppressed. I had total control of what I ate all day and night. When night came, I was in terrible pain with my migraine. None of my usual rescue medicines worked (Imitrex). I was getting nervous, come bedtime, I was restless, could not sleep, had a terrible migraine all night long, like the Bontril wouldn't wear off. I almost went to urgent care for my head since Imitrex was not working." | 5 | August 29, 2010 | 43 | 132 |
728 | Medroxyprogesterone | birth control | "I got my first shot in August and I didn't get my period until late October right before my second shot. It is now March and I have not stopped bleeding since October. That's like six months. The Depo has also made me gain twenty pounds and I have acne as well. " | 1 | March 17, 2011 | 5 | 53 |
179,735 | Adapalene / benzoyl peroxide | acne | "Ive been on this product for about 6 months. Yes, the beguining is hard . You will get more pimples and your skin will burn and turn red but realize this will pass and the struggle is worth it. A couple weeks is worth it compared to years worth of bad acne. Do not wax your upper lip if you are applying epiduo there- very painful. Also, after applying, use a fan or roll down a car window so that the air dries your face fast so the irratation will go away quicker. I have no irratation of any sort anymore-just skin that gets better and better each day." | 9 | March 10, 2016 | 15 | 109 |
185,222 | Harvoni | hepatitis c | "I have had Hep C for over 15 years and never treated. Genotype 4. I took Harvoni with Ribavirin for 12 weeks and after the first 8, my viral load was negative. It feels good. After the first month, my skin tone came back to Olive and not pasty white like before. I had diarrhea and insomnia with nausea and very tired. It was well worth the symptoms to be free of this virus. I go back for my blood work in 2 1/2 months to see if I have been cured but I am positive the results will be excellent. This is a miracle cure and I feel very grateful to be able to receive it." | 10 | July 28, 2015 | 38 | 117 |
134,366 | Prednisone | copd | "I have COPD. Experienced an exacerbation of the condition one evening. Went to ER. Coughing, shortness of breath and difficult breathing. I was given a Nebulizer treatment with the medication Albuterol Sulfate in ER and sent home with a Nebulizer machine to do the breathing treatment 2 x daily, AM and PM. Also, given 2 Prednisone before leaving ER with prescription for 14 tabs taken at various intervals until gone. I really felt great, full of energy, but as down to last of the medicine, feeling very achy all over, rather flu like. I know it is going off the Prednisone, as have taken it before some time ago, and you just kind of "crash" when you stop." | 8 | September 15, 2014 | 77 | 118 |
55,293 | Bupropion / naltrexone | obesity | "STICK WITH IT!!! I didn't really start seeing results to about the second month. You have to remember its not a magic pill, though it does curbs your appetite for carbs and sugar. (I'm in LOVE with Candy). I found myself not even wanting "junk food" for a snack. My advice is start doing some exercise. Example: 100 jumping jacks, 100 squats and 100 sit ups. I was at 185 at the start now I'm at 174ish. That's about 10 pounds in a month so that's right on a healthy track. Oh and drink only water!! It really helps. As the saying goes " Don't complain about not making any progress if you don't put forth any effort"" | 7 | November 30, 2015 | 23 | 118 |
10,643 | Spironolactone | acne | "I had never had a problem with acne until about one year ago, after giving birth to my daughter. I started to break out and it gradually got worse. I felt like I couldn't leave the house without makeup and I wanted to stay home whenever I had a bad breakout. It was starting to take over my life.
I had tried some topical treatments prescribed by a dermatologist, but I was limited in what I could take as I was still breastfeeding. After weaning my daughter about 6 weeks ago, I started taking spironolactone. My skin is looking better and better and my confidence is starting to return. I did not have an initial breakout at all, which I had been worried about after reading other reviews. It has been great." | 10 | November 12, 2013 | 18 | 132 |
42,248 | Atenolol | high blood pressure | "I've been on Atenolol for 15 years. My dosage was reduced from 50mg to 25mg about 6 mos. ago when I experienced bradycardia--low heart rate. Noticed that I was happier and less tired. Recently started having chest pains, tightness and high BP readings right after taking 25mg Atenolol. After several hours, my BP returns to normal at 120/75. Upon awaking--it is very normal still. My doctor has prescribed another BP med (Lisinopril) but after reading about the horrible "common" side effects, I am deciding to try natural supplements instead. Even the pharmacist warned me about the new medication. I think the pharmaceutical market wants to keep us on these outrageous medications for profit and probably 50% of us don't really need it." | 1 | December 21, 2016 | 32 | 122 |
196,118 | Nicotrol Inhaler | smoking cessation | "I was a 2 pack a day smoker until I started using the Nicotrol Inhaler. This almost seems like you are smoking but you aren't. Even taste and feels like it. " | 9 | March 20, 2009 | 37 | 32 |
204,605 | BuSpar | anxiety | "I have been on Xanax, Ativan, Valium and most of the other drugs in the benzodiazepine family. I had built up a tolerance to most of them, so my Doctor prescribed Buspar. Not being part of the benzodiazepine family, the effects are different and a bit more subtle then I have been used to, however, I have learned to appreciate the difference, because I was looking for something different. Buspar at least for myself is looking promising. I also have LexApro, but am hesitant to mix these two medicines at the same time." | 7 | September 5, 2009 | 54 | 93 |
85,605 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "Started Sprintec about 4 months ago. During the first pack I had almost daily breakthrough bleeding, but it disappeared after that. However, last week I took my pill only 2 hours late and I started spotting again as well as getting bad headaches, so definitely try to take it at the same time no matter what. Some weight gain, really bad mood swings during the first few months. Haven't gotten pregnant so it's definitely an effective pill." | 7 | August 4, 2014 | 11 | 77 |
110,527 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I had the Nexplanon put in on March 2014. When I first got it in it felt like my nerves were being pinched whenever I would bend my arm. On top of that, I had horrible mood swings and heavy periods that would last up to 3 weeks. Now that I'm onto my second year I have a lot of random spotting, I've lost my sex drive, and I gained a lot of weight. Had to go on this BC because I'm really bad with pills and it seemed really nice because I wouldn't have to worry about it after getting it out in. Still not too sure how I feel about it. I know some girls who've been on it for years with no problems. But the fact that my periods came back makes me worry that it's becoming less effective." | 6 | December 26, 2015 | 2 | 142 |

From then on I practically go into a coma :) Trazodone makes me sleep for 12+ hours at a time, it's great. I'm never tired anymore!

I took 3 ibuprofen ms (200 mg each) an hour before my appointment & 3.) I took .10 mg (2 pills) of the generic form of Xanax, also an hour before the appointment. It's just an intense cramping feeling, & I goes by quick, like 5 minutes. In my case the doctor
attempted to insert it twice because the first time, my uterus contracted. Still

I have been on every medication under the sun & always seem to have negative side effects. My biggest struggle with my depression is fatigue & no energy. I've only been on wellbutrin 5 days & I feel a tremendous difference. I am awake in the morning & don't feel like I am going to fall asleep at random times during the day. I also haven't taken a nap in 5 days either which is huge considering I always nap. I am a little anxious sometimes & am also dealing with sleeping issues so I may talk to my Dr about switching to the SR. I am also dealing with a lot of muscle spams but this always happens when I adjust a dose or try a new medication. Wish I tried this sooner!" | 5 | June 12, 2017 | 22 | 149 |

I get excited when I think of what my life will bring. I wake up, and I live life. Things aren't perfect but compared to where I was 6 months ago, they are incredible.

After about 10 minutes I finally calmed down. the anxiety totally drained from my body. As time went by I would feel another anxiety attack come on. I would take my valium and the attacks would go away. That happened about 30 years ago and I no longer suffer from anxiety attacks.

I personally like to take short breaks from the medication and switch to melatonin as I've found that on just none stressful situations such as holidays I prefer to take melatonin over clonidine because I'm not stressed or I don't have to wake up early. I suffer from EXTREME restless legs (my whole body) all day and night it never stops. And extreme insomnia. When I sleep with out medication it normally takes me about 3 hours to fall asleep and I wake up every 10-20 minutes and it takes me about 5-10 minutes to fall back asleep.

My cycle would not stop for more than two days, then it would start again. As soon as I started the Microgestin, my cycle regulated the first week. After taking it for about a year my periods are extremely light and very short. The side effects I have experienced are acne, oily skin, and terrible mood swings the week before my period begins. I get very angry and irritable for about two days the week prior to my period. In spite of these side effects this pill has been great for me. I have lost 40 lbs with diet and exercise that I was unable to lose before taking this pill. I highly recommend giving it a try." | 9 | November 21, 2013 | 23 | 140 |

45,575 | Fluoxetine | premenstrual dysphoric disorde | "I've suffered most of my life with a condition I thought was just one of those things. My mother took me to the doctor when I was in my teens and asked her to do something with me. In those days I was given Vit B complex, which did nothing. In my 40s the condition worsened again, and thinking nothing could be done, I ignored it. Out of sheer desperation and knowing that this really can't be normal, I approached my GP and was put on this medication. I didn't think it would work, it's an anti-depressant, how much difference could it make? I'm 2 months in and I wish I'd gone to my GP years ago. If you are reading this and wondering about this medication, then please at least try it. I have my life back and I love it." | 10 | November 6, 2013 | 61 | 142 |

I suffered with moderate depression and anxiety, and am not sure which one came first. Very frustrating. But none the less, it finally seems to be showing a positive effect after about 6 1/2 weeks on the 20mg. Just when you think it's not helping and that it's a waste of time, it kicks in. Hard to explain the feeling, but you just start feeling better. My mind just stopped worrying about crap and I could relax more and have more positive thoughts. Over the last 13 years, I've suffered off and on with this disorder and have taken Benzo's and other anti-depressants. Citalopram seems to help." | 9 | March 19, 2015 | 17 | 134 |

This was the first and only YI I've ever had and my gyno said it was a severe one (guess why?? ANTIBIOTICS.) The first night I did the cream up I too though I might be allergic because I wanted to rip it off of my body, but my doc said to stick with the 7 days, so the next night I took some pain relief before I creamed up and OMG never again. I thought I was going to be sterile for the rest of my life everything felt like Dante's Inferno down there and I thought I'd never have sex ever again might as well be a nun" | 1 | March 30, 2017 | 2 | 145 |

I may need to explain I deal with gastroparesis. Most days I'm fine, but the days I'm not, it's really bad. I tried zofran and promethazine with no relief whatsoever. Finally was admitted to the ER. Found out I was dehydrated and of course the gastroparesis had shown its ugly head. Nothing, I repeat nothing was working for nausea. They finally decided to give me compazine in IV form. Within just a few minutes I could tell results. Great drug and for myself minimal to no side effects." | 10 | July 31, 2015 | 9 | 110 |

It only affected my left foot, but my big toe was horrible. It was three times thicker than normal and really nasty. My best way of covering it up was duct tape claiming I banged it on something. I have taken Lamisil for a little over 30 days and the nails are all clearing up and the big toe looks amazing. I have dealt with this issue for over 20 years and am thrilled that it will no longer be an embarrassment. I would have given it a '10', but a bout of insomnia mixed with some really strange dreams took a point away." | 9 | March 31, 2015 | 69 | 133 |

I went on Parnate 4 years ago and it's the ONLY drug that has consistently worked at keeping my depression in check. After a depressive episode that almost killed me, the decision was made to try it. There is no "poop out". The MAOI diet everyone one freaks out over is NOT that bad - just be mindful of what you eat. Following instructions for safe use of this drug is nothing compared to the relief of clinical depression!" | 10 | May 2, 2017 | 24 | 97 |

I couldn't be happier with my choice. Within the first 30 day of insertion. I only had 2 days of random spotting. I Had my first regular cycle mid April. It was like clockwork. Regular cramps and no horrible side effects. It is now month 2 for me. I literally just finished my cycle, it was 4 days with a light flow. So my cycle was definitely shorter and lighter than normal with kyleena. The worst experience I've had is a random cramp that felt like someone had stabbed me in the butt. I couldn't walk comfortably but as soon as I got some ibuprofen I was fine. Aside from that I have had no issues. Honestly kyleena was a great choice for me." | 10 | May 13, 2017 | 2 | 138 |

I wouldn't say there was any tough phases for me to be honest. I'm on day 7 now and all I've had was some headaches after waking up that lasted till the afternoon. They subsided after the 3rd day.

Surgery Ctr. said they had it, but Propofol was preferred because of the better recovery result. Went out like a light. Woke up in recovery bay & felt pretty good after a few minutes. Got home, started feeling dopey again, couldn't concentrate. No appetite. Forced myself to eat, but didn't help. After 2 hrs, laid down and was out for 5 hrs. Got up, had juice and jello. After 2 hrs. had to go back to bed. I'm better today, still a bit weak. My sister had same procedure recently. She was knocked out & came through fine. She may have had same drug with better results.

With only having to take 1 every 12 hours, that is also helpful as I am on other medicines for depression and fibromyalgia. I would recommend for anyone with anxiety and/or panic disorders to definitely try this if you can get your Doctor to prescribe it for you, as it is becoming harder and harder to get the medicines that actually work for us because they think we will all become addicted. I always say give us the medicines we need for our problems that WORK and we'll worry about the rest later. " | 10 | November 26, 2011 | 88 | 120 |

106,217 | Oxymetazoline | nasal congestion | "After many long frustrating attempts by many people to open the blasted bottle, I read another review that said to turn it upside down and push with all your might, so I turned it upside down, pushed the cap *into* the neck of the bottle and squeezed the bottle so hard I worried it might burst, and it *Finally* opened. Then I was afraid to close it, worried that I wouldn't be able to reproduce the miraculous feat of opening it. This is NOT a 'childproof' cap. This IS the medicine bottle equivelence of Fort Knox. The effort wasted on trying to get it open is unreasonable. Shame on Bayer. As a physician, I used to recommend Afrin for nasal congestion. Not anymore." | 1 | March 7, 2017 | 12 | 123 |

This is the only change in medication and the sweats are unbearable for myself and my husband. Going back to demand my old medicines back. I am glad this works for most. I don't see this listed as a side effect for anyone else, so I am confused." | 5 | November 5, 2011 | 9 | 115 |

Cons: Immediately after taking the drug, there is temporary nausea, drowsiness, sleepiness & disorientation, dizziness. It makes me sleep more than desired. I can no longer drive, cook, or do much of anything because of the dizziness. I prefer tremor relief, so the medicine wins. We don't have much choice with this disease.
It's very expensive, but what is your quality of life (what little there is) worth to you? If I have to exist, I would rather sleep than suffer tremors most of my waking hours." | 7 | February 16, 2012 | 7 | 108 |
121,073 | Venlafaxine | major depressive disorde | "I never write reviews but I figured I had to share how truly life-changing Effexor has been for me. I've suffered with GAD and Major Depressive Disorder for quite some time. I was on and off of Prozac for about five years. When it stopped working, I began taking Effexor XR 37.5mg. I started feeling better, more calm, less anxious. Last year, someone I had dated for years and had recently broken up with passed away tragically. I was a disaster. My dosage was increased to 75mg, then 150mg, and now 225mg. Honestly - I don't know how I would have made it to where I am today without this medication. It has controlled my anxiety, my panic attacks and my depression. I still have bad days, I'm still in mourning, but I finally feel normal." | 10 | February 10, 2017 | 26 | 136 |

177,924 | Duloxetine | ibromyalgia | "When Cymbalta became available I was trying it for dysthymia, but found my fibromyalgia and neuropathy became much better. I think it's worth trying, it worked wonders for me and I started taking it with the attitude that it wasn't going to work." | 8 | August 15, 2013 | 49 | 43 |
