81,860 | Liraglutide | weight loss | "I've been on it for about two weeks and I started at around 310 lbs and my usual weight is around 285 and even that was too high for me at 6'2". Anyway I feel full all the time to the point where I feel a lack of hunger but I haven't weighed myself lately and I don't know if my belt size has reduced. Maybe it has but I do feel a change for the good. I'll keep on this path because I feel more confident and want to see where this goes." | 8 | December 22, 2016 | 20 | 94 |
65,597 | Propranolol | mance anxiety | "I suffer from a very severe presentation anxiety, but after trying this drug I am able to present without any problems! It is truly amazing. Thank you to whoever made this drug!" | 10 | November 1, 2017 | 2 | 32 |
9,132 | Cefuroxime | tonsillitis/pharyngitis | "It quickly helped get rid of the infection in my throat BUT it is very hard to take. The taste of the pill is horrible and sticks around for a long time in the back of your throat. I used flavored yogurt to help counteract the flavor after I swallowed the pill. It also starts dissolving quickly so it tended to get stuck in my throat." | 9 | June 10, 2011 | 16 | 66 |
29,621 | Topiramate | migraine prevention | "I started taking Topamax about 3 years ago. Began at 25mg a day for a week. The second week I was supposed to move up to 50, the third week 2 75mg and then finally to 100mg on the fourth week. I never really had to move past 25mg. My migraines all but stopped after a month of being on the medication and at the lowest dose. I had all the side effects - tingling, weight loss (very happy about it too), forgetting certain words and the nasty taste of soda. That was okay because I only drink it very rarely anyway. I was getting 1-2 migraines a week and now, I may have 1-2 a year. Most of the side effect seemed to have faded with time as well. Very, very pleased with this medication." | 9 | November 10, 2014 | 82 | 136 |
35,870 | Buprenorphine / naloxone | opiate dependence | "I was addicted to all opiates for 17 years. The last 2 years I was spending about $4000 a month. Made $60,000 a year and couldn't even pay my bills. It got real bad! A friend of mine told me about Suboxone and the rest is history! It truly saved my life. For the first time in my life I have money in a savings account. Suboxone works, as long as you want to quit." | 10 | July 1, 2014 | 90 | 75 |
195,097 | Ridaura | rheumatoid arthritis | "I've had RA since my early 40's and NSAID's just stopped working. After several years of progressively stronger NSAID's, my Rheumatalogist started my regime on Ridaura. In my case is was like a miracle drug. It arrested the disease progression and after six months I felt so much better. I am now a 73 old male and still taking 3mg twice a day. It has made my life not only bearable but comfortable." | 10 | October 14, 2008 | 16 | 73 |
35,081 | Levofloxacin | pneumonia | "If not for this antibiotic my husband would have been dead several times over. Incidentally I'm a Registered nurse. I see where a number have people have attributed wild "side effects' to this drug. Many are confusing symptoms of their illness with side effects of the antibiotic. Just because you experience something unusual for you when your sick doesn't mean its the fault of the antibiotic. Being ill is an abnormal state for ones body yet some of these people seem to think that any effect of the illness they weren't expecting MUST BE attributable to something else and often they blame the treatment rather than the illness. If you've been prescribed Levaquin I urge you to take many of these 'reviews' with more than a grain of salt! An EXCELLENT drug!" | 10 | May 14, 2017 | 18 | 132 |
42,567 | Concerta | adhd | "I've taken Concerta on and off since I was 9 so 11 years now. I've taken every ADHD pill ever made and this one is by far the best out of them all. It has helped me a lot in life. I was able to focus in school and I always had good grades. If you miss a dose you can definitely feel it both mentally and physically. I was able to graduate at the age of 16 and start working full time. I'm not sure where I would be In life without this truly amazing pill. I would recommend to anyone who would benefit from it." | 10 | July 4, 2013 | 66 | 107 |
43,766 | Acetaminophen / codeine | pain | "I have chronic neurological pain as well as lower back/hip pain. As I have aged (I'm 52) dealing with chronic pain has evolved for me.
In my 30's and 40's my primary care Dr at the time prescribed T3 as well as hydrocodone and morphine extended release. Have to say,my pain was obliterated, I didn't feel pain heck I didn't feel anything. I was a mess and had such a high tolerance that my daily life consisted barely getting up off the couch.
Fast forward to the present. I now live in a different state and have a great new primary care physician. I have bee taking Lyrica for neurological pain in my feet- which didn't work well for me. So she prescribed Gabapentin 800mg twice a day and Tylenol 3 twice a day as needed." | 8 | October 11, 2016 | 16 | 136 |
81,343 | Yaz | acne | "I am 20 years old. I've had moderate acne since I was 13. I've never had completely clear skin since that age. I needed to get on birth control and I was a bit nervous about the side effects. I chose Yaz because the claims said it would help clear acne. When I started my first pack my breast became sore and I was slightly nauseous. Nothing seemed to happen with my skin. By my second pack I started to break out, I wasn't sure if it was the birth control or just me. The nausea went away. By the fourth pack the breakout was at its worst. I was very frustrated and wanted to quit the birth control. But by the end of my fourth pack I noticed the acne was clearing. I am now on my fifth month with only a couple small pimples and my hopes are high!" | 7 | November 5, 2015 | 8 | 151 |
210,757 | Mirtazapine | insomnia | "zolpidem means i'll get some sleep but not much. first time i took remeron didnt sleep a wink though i felt the drowsiness. zombie in the morning. clonazepam made me feel normal. second time i took it with half a zolpidem with clonazepam 4 hours before, slept my first full 8 hours in 20 years. next night no clonazepam, still slept but woke up every sleep cycle. last night by itself 1.5 hours sleep. varies greatly. does not stop my mind from running full speed." | 4 | October 18, 2016 | 9 | 85 |
220,567 | Loestrin 24 Fe | birth control | "This my 2nd birth control and let me say its a BIG improvement from my last. The 1st week of my 1st packet I had some dizziness/nausea and I got my period a week early. Other than that this pill has worked well for me, especially since my breasts have grown. Also, although acne is 1 of the side effects I find myself having no pimples now (although I'm not sure it would have the same for moderate or severe acne). I would recommend this to anyone." | 8 | July 5, 2011 | 0 | 87 |
111,730 | Gianvi | birth control | "I've been using gianvi for over a month now and I haven't experienced any mood swings!!! I don't feel depressed, suicidal or anything. I have experienced bloating and tender breasts. I have recently broke out on face a bit but I'm hoping my body will soon adjust because I chose it to help with acne. I'll continue to use it and hope for the best. So far I don't think I've gained any weight which is a bummer bc I'm underweight and really was looking forward to it. But we'll see!" | 9 | August 12, 2017 | 1 | 91 |
231,501 | Trazodone | insomnia | "My Dr. prescribed this for me very recently in place of Lunesta which Kaiser does not carry. Lunesta works wonders for me, knocks me on my butt without any weird feelings or tiredness or drowsiness the following day. This Trazodone does absolutely nothing for me, zero, nada, zippo! I would have much rather spent the $10 on a bottle of cheap vodka to knock my butt out. Luckily, I do still have my muscle relaxers that I can always count on to do the trick, I just never know how long......or how short, I have before I get knocked out." | 1 | April 25, 2016 | 29 | 100 |
182,316 | Mirena | birth control | "I am 20 years old and had Mirena put in 18 months ago after my son was 6 weeks and so far I like it but I do have some negative comments too. The insertion wasn't bad just had cramping after wards. My boyfriend feels it most of the time when we have sex. MY hair loss is pretty bad. I feel like I have 5 lbs I can't lose. I bled straight through the first month I had it in. Then didn't get my period or spotting for a whole year and now I get a regular period every month. Sometimes I do experience some cramping when I bend over a certain way and its sharp and very painful. But all in all I like that I don't have to take a birth control everyday and I don't have to worry about any more babies." | 8 | December 15, 2010 | 0 | 146 |
142,499 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "PLEASE don't let bad reviews prevent you from trying Kyleena!!!! I got mine inserted on 09/05/17. Insertion was not painful. It was more uncomfortable than anything. Got mine inserted a week and a half before my period and it still didn't hurt. I took 800mg of Ibuprofen approx. 2 hours prior to insertion. After insertion I had no cramps and spotted for about an hour. Everyone reacts to pain differently. So don't let the bad reviews keep you from trying this BC out. Will do updated reviews after 1 month and 6 months." | 10 | September 8, 2017 | 7 | 93 |
28,941 | Lexapro | depression | "Ecellent medication for depression, although weight gain can be a problem. I have found it to be the only medicine that can assist me with little or no side effects. Been on it for two years." | 9 | December 10, 2008 | 27 | 36 |
160,705 | Buspirone | anxiety | "I am responding very well to this medication (7.5 mg twice a day since 6/3/12) for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (with associated panic attacks and depression). My anxiety is back down to a healthier level (not completely gone) and I'm not having as many panic attacks (they still wake me up in the middle of the night most nights). Overall, I feel less depressed (because I'm less anxious). I'm doing everything I can to help myself. I exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, don't smoke, don't drink, stay away from caffeine, and I read/listen to lots of self-help books/authors. It's not easy, but things are getting better. Buspar definitely helps." | 9 | July 17, 2012 | 79 | 109 |
76,064 | Ezetimibe / simvastatin | high cholesterol | "Everyone in my family has exceptionally high cholesterol, in the 370 range. We produce it. Don't let anyone tell you that you have a bad diet if your cholesterol is high. It is produced by the body and in some people, apparently including me, reduced cholesterol intake results in increased cholesterol production. For several years I was on Lipitor; it never lowered my cholesterol reading below 280. I've used Vytorin 10-40 for probably eight years with no ill side effects. Vytorin took it down to 170 or less. The government contends Vytorin is no more effective than anything else in lowering cholesterol. They've never tested me, of course. Now, because of the government's position, I find Vytorin dropped from my Medicare plan. I'm switching." | 9 | October 11, 2011 | 37 | 124 |
138,723 | Phentermine | obesity | "29 yr old, 278 lbs. 1/2 pill at 7am, 1/2 at noon.
Start date: 07/16/2011 Today's date: 07/25/2011 Lost: 13 lbs so far. I don't exercise yet. I don't eat right because no hunger, so I've bought tons of steamable veggies today. I stopped all caffiene intake, which led to a horrible headache on day 4 from the withdrawals." | 9 | July 25, 2011 | 5 | 59 |
37,551 | Vyvanse | adhd | "I have been taking this medicine for my ADHD and in the first couple of days I have lost five pounds. I don't know if this is normal and I am trying to find that out. I also have stomach aches all day long with loss of appetite. I'll get lightheaded some times. But it does help me concentrate on what I am doing and say focused." | 8 | December 20, 2010 | 5 | 67 |
76,920 | Lorcaserin | obesity | "Well started belviq once a day on May 14 2015. My starting weight 187 lbs. Nine days later weighed at 185 lbs . May not seem like a lot BUT considering didn't go not once to the gym I think it is pretty good.!!! This coming up week I will try to do some type of exercise.
I find though that the first pills really curbed my appetite. Now a few pills later it doesn't seem to be as strong as the beginning. Will continue on them for one month and see how it goes.
If I don't see a big amount of weight loss I will ask my Dr to put me on phentermine. Being that phentermine is more affordable. And it would make no sense at all to pay so much $$$$ on a pill that doesn't really cut it for me ..." | 8 | May 23, 2015 | 22 | 145 |
226,737 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I had the implanon after my first child. Then took it out, got pregnant with my second & back in a couple weeks after birth. I love it! Personally, it works great for me. I don't have bad side affects w/ it & my husband and I never use other forms of contraception & no scares. My period is still regular. I've gained weight but I'm also not the healthiest eater lol. My insurance covered it both for insertion & removal! & I'll definately keep using it. Its already in your arm so you don't have to remember specific times like with the pill. Or have rejections like w/ the IUDs" | 9 | April 22, 2015 | 9 | 111 |
140,533 | Escitalopram | depression | "I've been on lex for almost a month and so far my side effects have been minimal. The first week, although I didn't have anxiety problems, it seemed to spark a few anxiety episodes. Nothing major. I started with 10mg and today is my first day of 20mgs. I'm a little worried about side effects. I'm still having a problem wanting to get out of bed. I just feel like I have no energy to do anything and I hate this feeling hence the increase to 20mgs. I'm going to stick with it because although I'm still struggling with the lack of energy, is helped at least put a few smiles back on my face here and there. All I know is I want to get better, I have to get better!
Good luck everyone I'll check back in 3 or 4 wks & give a complete update." | 3 | January 10, 2017 | 36 | 148 |
104,200 | Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel | birth control | "I am on my 2nd pack, I recently switched from Seasonique. I am happy with both, I don't see any differences between one or the other. This is a great product since you only get a period every 3 months." | 10 | March 24, 2013 | 7 | 40 |
29,299 | Topiramate | migraine prevention | "Horrible drug. It did not prevent my migraines at all, and I had aweful side effects. Nausea, fuzzy thinking, tingly hands, and feeling overall sick the whole 4 weeks easing on and two weeks easing off. Not worth it. I'm back to Amitriptyline ." | 1 | March 29, 2016 | 3 | 44 |
21,954 | Infliximab | sjogren's syndrome | "Remicade has stopped the flares of UC although I remain on Asacol. As far as helping with the inflammatory arthritis symptoms I would have to say I see little to no relief. Hard to judge though when one is on it. Don't know if it would be worse now if I were not on it." | 5 | July 23, 2017 | 0 | 55 |
191,816 | 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. " | 5 | July 17, 2009 | 6 | 80 |
51,376 | Azithromycin | sinusitis | "This is my first time taking a 6 pill pack. I have used regular azithromycin for sinus infections before with great results. This infection knocked me out. After being sick for a week I needed help. I started hallucinations because I couldn't breathe or sleep. So I gave in and went to the ER. I cleared up right after the first dose. By dose 3 I was breathing without wheezing. I'm going on day 4 and I can finally sleep. Ahhh sleep is great. I did get dizzy and there was a nasty taste in my mouth and I did have a few loose stools but all in all I would rather put up with those small side effects and be able to sleep." | 7 | May 26, 2014 | 59 | 124 |
10,017 | Lo Loestrin Fe | birth control | "I started Lo Loestrin Fe as my first birth control pill ever in August of 2012. I have always had some acne and it had been pretty bad shortly before taking this but it got way better right before I started this. However, after taking this, my acne was the worst it had been in a long time, maybe ever. I just stopped taking this two days ago and within the five months that I was on it, I gained about six pounds or so. I didn't mind this at all actually, because I am quite thin and have been desperately trying to gain weight. Also, my breast size went up some. My period only just became regular this month, but it's so light that you can barely even call it a period which worried me for a while." | 2 | January 12, 2013 | 10 | 139 |
216,293 | Ogestrel-28 | birth control | "I switched to this because it is the highest dosage after experiencing breakthrough bleeding on my last pill which I was also on for two years. All breakthrough bleeding has stopped and my period has even shortened from 7 days on my old pill to 5 days on this one. I experienced some nausea in the mornings the first day or two of each new pill pack the first couple months but this only lasted maybe 3-4 months and I have experienced this symptom every time I try a new birth control so I do not know if it is specific to this pill. I also gained about 10 lbs the first couple months that shed a few months later but this is also a typical symptom I have experienced on every pill I have tried. Overall, this pill works and has no serious symptoms." | 9 | April 2, 2017 | 0 | 145 |
1,423 | Sumatriptan | migraine | "Imitrex injections have worked like a miracle. Have used it since they first came out. Have had two minor heart problems in the past 7 years. The most recent one last week. Was informed I can't take Imitrex anymore. Don't know what I'll do. I'm a 66 year old male and have had migraines for 40 years. Only the last 15 years have been controlled." | 9 | February 10, 2009 | 2 | 65 |
95,345 | Otezla | plaque psoriasis | "I have severe plaque psoriasis. I have tried coal tar shampoo, steroids, creams, lotions, injections to get rid of it. In less than 2 weeks I went from embarrassing plaque on my forehead, all over my scalp, behind my ears, hand, foot, chest and torso to the plaque being mostly gone, no more flaking skin, and the redness is starting to subside. I haven't felt this comfortable in my own skin in years. Yes some of the stomach issues aren't great but I'll take side effects that will go away once my body gets used to the medicine vs being embarrassed to go on dates." | 10 | November 30, 2016 | 37 | 105 |
61,027 | Focalin | adhd | "My 7 year old son started taking focalin xr 5 in December after I had him tested for what I was sure going to be asperges. Turns out he was suffering from ADHD...he is currently on 15 mg xr and I can honestly say for him it is a miracle drug. He went from not being able to read and barely writing his name to reading whole books...he also went from making 20's and 30's on spelling test to averaging 90, we even had 2 100's. He has lost some weight but right now is still average so it is not much of a concern." | 9 | April 18, 2016 | 51 | 105 |
6,135 | Minastrin 24 Fe | birth control | "I have been on many different pills, and never had side effects until the last couple and would bleed for 2 weeks. So I went on this one to help with that. The first 2-3 weeks, I was kind of a monster. I did have 2 jobs and school with no day off, so that may not have helped. But the symptoms subsided. Now, my breasts are very tender and are growing (at age 24). I haven't had other weight gain. I am loving this BC with hardly any bleeding. 4 months in, and I love it so far. Just not covered by insurance. But the manufacturer has something that helps make it more affordable, the pharmacy just has to run it through a different way." | 9 | September 29, 2015 | 2 | 126 |
50,253 | Gabapentin | anxiety | "In 2012, I was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder from trauma from 9-11-01 events in New York City. I had lived with PTSD for over 10 years unknowingly. Two different doctors put me on anti-depressants because I did not sleep well. All 3 (Zoloft, Amitriptyline, and Trazodone) worsened my mood. I did not have clinical depression; i.e., did not have trouble getting out of bed. A third doctor prescribed gabapentin. I am less reactive, feel more social, and generally more happy. Also, if I wait to take a dose, I can feel the onset of anxiety, unlike in the last 12 years, which is helpful for practicing sensory emotional regulation. With the ability to feel when anxiety sets, I can practice the technique. I hope to be off medication soon." | 10 | August 3, 2014 | 117 | 131 |
227,061 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I got this implant in February of
2013. I've not had a single period since. Every once in awhile some old blood will come out nothing heavy at all and it lasts maybe a week. I had no pain with insertion. As far as side effects I've only had mood swings, sometimes the insertion site itches but not often and usually subsides quickly after itching. No weight gain, headaches, periods, acne, and no decreased Sex drive. I love this implant because I was on the pill before and I could never remember to take it with this you don't have to worry about remembering anything. I would definitely recommend this." | 9 | July 1, 2014 | 24 | 110 |
153,467 | Doxycycline | bacterial infection | "It works, but gave me bad, bad nausea to the point that I threw up afterwards. I had to take it with some food because of how bad it would irritate my stomach. But other than that, it worked fine for my infection." | 7 | May 10, 2013 | 50 | 43 |
93,510 | Vortioxetine | depression | "I have been on 10mg it for 8 weeks and it works well for me. I did not want to go up to 20mg but I was going through some ups and downs so my Dr. recommended I go up to 20mg. This is my 4 day on it and seems to be working better. I did not have any sexual side effects or notifiable weight gain but I do seem to have some tingling sensation in my head. This is my first time on Antidepressants." | 8 | February 3, 2014 | 88 | 86 |
199,768 | Varenicline | smoking cessation | "Update on comment below:
I gave up the ginger tea. It tasted awful and was hard for me to get it down, even just sipping it. It didn't help me that much either. I am now going to try a turmeric drink made with milk or nut milk that is suppose to help. We will see....." | 10 | July 18, 2017 | 2 | 56 |
193,007 | Dextroamphetamine | narcolepsy | "I had a motor vehicle accident when I was 21, I am now 39 and have been on Dexedrine 9 months.
This has been a saviour for my life in many aspects. I have never been able to read a book. Either, I would lose interest on the first line or lose attentiveness because of my sleeping disorder.
I lived with this problem for almost 20 years. I never knew anything different, simply because I've never been one to hang around large crowds to compare other female lifestyles my age, plus became a young mother at 21.
My parents never said anything to me. They just let me have my 2 hr nap daily to rejuvenate myself.
The other positive that Dexedrine has given me is the confidence to really pursue a career of becoming a Dentist. " | 10 | February 2, 2014 | 19 | 138 |
153,924 | Vivitrol | opiate dependence | "While the rehab changes your perception no matter how you go into in, the Vivitrol changes your brain chemistry altogether. It's the combination of being on the outside and seeing where you've made your mistakes, knowing that you have a shield guarding you at every moment. Life becomes more normal in that time. It's like a rehab that follows you. Brilliant. When I got off of the shot I had a couple moments of frustration but that was easily solved with my newfound knowledge. Mostly the knowledge of myself. I believe this could save many lives. If you don't want it but take it for someone else, at least you have a month to figure out why." | 10 | September 24, 2016 | 77 | 117 |
32,909 | Seasonique | polycystic ovary syndrome | "My journey with this BC has been extremely rough, but worth it!
I have been diagnosed with PCOS, GERD, IBS - D, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, and manic depressive disorder. My gynecologist instructed me to give it 6 months before discontinuing. The first 2 weeks were normal. Then I had spotting for 4 weeks straight. I could deal with that. I figured I hadn't had my period in months due to PCOS so it would take time to regulate. At the 6 week mark I got the heaviest menses of my life with extreme cramping. Ended up in ER twice. Had my period for 12 weeks straight. Off for 3 weeks, back on for 4 weeks. And then it started working normally. Now I have no symptoms at all and get my period every 3 months like clockwork!" | 8 | September 18, 2016 | 5 | 138 |
114,124 | Amlodipine | high blood pressure | "So far on 10 mg Norvasc and 80 mg Micardis. Has proven to be an effective combination for my hypertension. Previsouly my readings were around 160/90 and now it is around 130/75.
I am 39 years old, obese person (100kg) 5ft 6 inches in height.
I have been having hihg blood pressure for about a few years now and have tried quite a few types of medicine until these two which has been ok so far." | 8 | August 3, 2008 | 90 | 76 |
152,247 | Ciprofloxacin | crohn's disease | "I have been on Cipro for Crohn's for about 10 years. It has kept me in remission and I really have not suffered any side effects. I have a fistula and this has kept me from getting any bad abscesses. No real dietary restrictions to speak of (other that dairy within a few hours of taking dosage)." | 10 | December 17, 2015 | 7 | 57 |
2,815 | Belbuca | chronic pain | "I have been on this medicine for only about a week. The first day I took it, I got a migraine and the pain relief was similar to a tylenol or an ibuprofen. The next day (day 2) I took my daily dose, (I may either take 1 at a time twice a day or 2 at a time one time per day) so I took two this time and I felt much better than day one. My body adjusted well. My dose that I was given was VERY small to begin but my doctor said he will up my dose in December at my follow up visit. I take it everyday (BUCCAL FILM) which tastes minty but can get stuck on my teeth and takes 30 mins to dissolve. It kicks in about 20-45 mind after taking, but I get the full effect HOURS afterwards.

208,413 | Oseltamivir | influenza | "This drug is def worth the money. I was shocked. Flu knocked on my door never felt so ill in the 28 years that I've been alive, Fever 103, chills, the worst radiating aches, sore throat, congested, etc...Went to the doctor within 13 hours of symptoms couldn't handle it anymore and they diagnosed me with the flu. And gave me Tamiflu. Went home, took Tamiflu, went to sleep within 9 hours 90% REDUCTION in symptoms. I'd say that is a cure. Nonetheless. Later the next day I took the biggest #2 in my life (TMI) and I knew that the drug had worked. Anyone who had a problem with this drug probably had the onset of symptoms beyond 72 hours. I had NO Side effects. That is rare for me. U can get this if u have been around some w/the flu? Miracle drug!" | 10 | August 19, 2015 | 11 | 144 |
100,342 | Desogestrel / ethinyl estradiol | birth control | "If you start getting moody, stop taking this medication immediately. I was on this BCP for exactly 1 month and I developed a stroke (hospital categorized it as a seizure) where I couldn't remember my name and had to redevelop my speech and writing. The day after the hospitalization I developed Mono from my weakened immune system and slept for 24 hours straight. Do not take BCP in general. ." | 1 | September 18, 2016 | 2 | 70 |
148,178 | Norethindrone | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I started this on the first day of my period and experienced very heavy bleeding that didn't let up.

228,597 | Geodon | bipolar disorde | "I have been on Geodon for about a week now. The side effects I have experienced have been dreaming and waking up and having to decipher whether or not it was a dream or if I actually did the task I dreamt about. I have taken Seroquel, fluoxetine, Lexapro, Abilify, Klonopin, Ambien, Lunesta. Seroquel was the worse, I gained 30 lbs and I'm an extremely active person and have been my entire life. All the other medicines either gave me horrible side effects or had no effect at all. I am now on lamotrigine, 4 mgs of Xanax a day and Geodon. This "cocktail" seems to be working." | 7 | November 14, 2011 | 13 | 108 |
62,503 | Citalopram | depression | "I am a veteran. I was diagnosed with depression while on active duty (started on Wellbutrin), though I am certain the depression went back years before. I always knew something wasn't right, but could never quite figure out what it was. I had no desire to live and could not seem to shake that. I admitted myself to a mental health unit recently with suicidal tendencies. I started taking Celexa while in the unit, and I feel like a person now. I am not in a "good" place in the world right now, but in my own "world" I am feeling great." | 10 | April 4, 2011 | 32 | 102 |
170,871 | Quetiapine | bipolar disorde | "I have been taking Seroquel 200mg for over a year for Bipolar Disorder. After years of taking antidepressants I couldn't figure out why they weren't working. I was having really bad manic episodes that would last days to weeks, in which I was staying up for days at a time, spending money I didn't have and extreme OCD. My anxiety and mood swings were spinning out of control and I was failing as a mother. I started therapy and Seroquel and noticed an immediate difference in my manic episodes and insomnia. I gained weight at first but have since lost it over the course of the year. I am taking Aderrall during the day and I am back in college, working as a full time accountant and am able to relax at night with my family." | 10 | December 4, 2011 | 30 | 136 |

Things went downhill at work and I'm just restarting after I felt my anxiety creeping back in. This time though the doc wants me to take it twice a day instead of once a day. Currently on two 37.5 in the morning and then another 37.5 about 5pm. I can feel my anxiety lessening after only a week. Just started a new job. My anxiety makes me think my teeth are going to hurt and that's all I end up focusing on. All day every day. Effexor has been a real life saver." | 9 | April 24, 2016 | 6 | 118 |

That lasted one day. Day 2-7 has been without issues. I take it with a meal and a good 12-16 ounces of fluid. 3 days to go and I expect that will be fine.

But my first time around it was GREAT, I had really bad periods prior to starting this pill and lo loestrin caused me to not have one at all. I loved it and my sex life was flourishing with my boyfriend. In April of this year I had to stop taking it because I lost insurance coverage and couldn't afford it at manufactured price, instead I started taking a pill that brought my period back but it was barable. I started back on Lo loestrin in June 2017 and was already on my cycle from the last pill. I thought once I took my first blue pill of Lo Loestrin my period would begin to ease up but no, it's June 30th and I'm STILL bleeding." | 5 | July 1, 2017 | 2 | 146 |

My doctor gave samples of edarbi 80. and fatigue, sleepiness weight gain, blurry vision worsened in the past three weeks. My insurance only allows one dose a day of edarbi and has informed me that since I am low income that my copay will not increase so I am not planning to reduce edarbi or spread it out. I sometimes delay taking my once a day dose for up to sixteen hours due to low bp and when it does rise the systolic takes longer to come down on edarbi than on valsartan. I take K supplements." | 3 | December 5, 2014 | 13 | 135 |
68,044 | Plan B | emergency contraception | "My girlfriend and I had unprotected sex on 2/5 around 8:00pm. The condom broke and I was not sure whether or not I fully pulled out, so we paniced, went out to CVS, and bought plan b 30 minutes later. Her last period was on 1/15 but she does not track her period and usually they are irregular so being a really sensitive boyfriend, I completely lost my mind thinking only about the hypotheticals and negatives for the next few weeks to follow. She started spotted about 5 days after taking the pill and the side effects that followed included breast tenderness and she complained about being very tired very often. I'm not sure whether or not the symptoms lasted for more than a week, but she finally got her period today on March 5th. (51 days after he last period and 30 days after taking plan b). It completely distorts a woman's cycle and while I understand that my panicking was not uncalled for, it definitely affected my ability to think straight. If you take the pill within the instructed time frame and are under the weight limit, you will be great. Now to start a birth control regimen lol. Also, I reached out to a bunch of friends who were in these same situations, and more than half of them had their girlfriends get their periods at least 4-5 weeks after taking the pill, so a delayed period is completely normal. Good luck everyone, hope this review was informative and reliable." | 10 | March 6, 2016 | 26 | 253 |

I have gained 25lb in a year of having it and I work out 2-3 days a week doing kick boxing and cross fit which I never worked out before this year and I keep gaining. I have gone up 3 pant sizes.

33,438 | Microgestin Fe 1 / 20 | birth control | "I have been taking this pill for almost a year and a half, having sex with my boyfriend 3-4 times a week, and have not had any pregnancy scares ever. I switched to the pill from the depo-shot (I don't recommend depo) to see if the depo's continuous period and bleeding would stop and within 2 days, the pill had me completely normal. Sometimes I skip 2-3 months of the period on the pill pack, so when I do decide to go on my period, it's pretty heavy with cramps. Only side effect I had was my boobs getting bigger and a little sore." | 10 | November 8, 2015 | 5 | 104 |

91,311 | Haloperidol | mania | "Parent to son with psychotic experiences diagnosed bipolar mania by one doctor and Schizo affective disorder by another. Been on a 3 year roller coaster nightmare. Refusal to take sulpiride and risperidone orally for any time resulted in having depot injections but our experience to date of the depot injections is more negative given the side affects. Like lost personality, tiredness, restlessness. Bouts of long sleeping followed by walking round and round the room. When standing rocking from foot to foot. Inability to engage in conversations. Sense of hopelessness ..We didn't really clue up on the drug and are concerned about the inability to come off/reduce them because a months worth has been injected then topped up." | 5 | October 4, 2015 | 5 | 117 |

My side effects have been minimal compared to what it is doing for me (hopefully) I started with terrible leg aches at night for a couple of months and they are now gone-- My hands and ankles are really stiff in the morning, my body feels a bit beat up, and I had a vaginal discharge for about 4 months that finally stopped. Also my pap came back abnormal due to the hormone changes my body is going through so don't freak out right away if that happens. All normal! My doc has also put me on Alendronate Sodium tablets once a week to help with my bones and to prevent bone cancer. I just started getting back into working out with some weights and tread mill and that is helping for sure." | 8 | June 24, 2016 | 40 | 144 |
84,151 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "It did the job when it came birth control. But within a couple of weeks of taking it, I knew that my moods were off. I went from loving my SO to waiting to murder and break up with him in the matter of him just breathing. This was more than normal PMS, which I never really had to begin with. But what I think was the worst was the weight gain. I started taking this in Feb of 2017 and it is currently May, I gained over 20 pound. My periods were light, so light that it worried me. They stayed around the same duration which for me is 2-4 days. I did the job that birth control is suppose to do, but the side effects were terrible. I am trying my hardest to get off of it." | 3 | May 5, 2017 | 0 | 139 |
50,773 | Gabapentin | restless legs syndrome | "In my research on RLS I found that iron deficiency could also be a contributing factor.

160,760 | Buspirone | anxiety | "I've been on this medication for over two months. BuSpar helps with day to day, general anxiety. That said, I don't feel that I can rely on this medication to stop a panic attacks. I still have agoraphobic feelings, and certain anxious thoughts (hypochondria type things) that haven't ceased since before starting this medication.
Side effects I've noticed: Lightheadedness. Moderate fatigue. Munchies, snackyness. Increased libido and depth of taste.
Give it a try. Compared to SSRI's, it seems to be as effective without changing one's brain chemistry so drastically." | 7 | November 1, 2010 | 33 | 89 |
150,147 | Mucinex D | cough and nasal congestion | "I take mucinex D 600/60mg every morning for chronic sinus issues. It has helped considerably with sinus headaches. I would not recommend taking the 1200 mg strength, nor should you take 2 of the 600 unless it is EARLY in the morning... and only for a couple of days. The 1200mg strength has 120mg of long acting sudafed... that is too much from my experience. DO NOT take this med after say 12 noon. It will keep you awake for at least 8 hrs! ALSO if you take this long term... it is not something you want to quit suddenly... wean yourself off to prevent irritability, etc." | 8 | January 19, 2017 | 13 | 107 |
225,667 | Bupropion | depression | "False-positive urine immunoassay screening tests for amphetamines have been reported in patients taking bupropion (the active ingredient contained in Wellbutrin SR).
This happened to me with the birth of our second child. Our daughter tested positive for amphetamines. Child Services were called and we had to prove our own innocents! The nurse reporting the "problem" told us that they knew that Wellbutrin SR could cause this result but according to the law we were still reported. " | 8 | January 20, 2013 | 64 | 77 |
79,563 | Plan B One-Step | emergency contraception | "I've taken the pill over 3 times in the passed 2 months. Some side effects such as nausea, fatigue, stomach aches, and cramping have occurred. That's completely normal! The most recent time I have taken it was last Friday. I freaked out and went to planned parenthood right away! They were super nice and said that the Plan b one-step was about 79-85% effective. Took it. My advice is to not psych yourself out and think about it too hard." | 8 | July 16, 2012 | 13 | 80 |
92,747 | Vortioxetine | major depressive disorde | "This worked well for me at 40 mg/day. My doc said it was ok even though only 20 mg is the suggested max.
Although it really helped with my MDD, I also had tremors in my hands. They were problematic enough tat I stopped the drug.
Back on old reliable Zoloft 150 ... Works fine!" | 8 | July 20, 2017 | 9 | 55 |
200,559 | Varenicline | smoking cessation | "I smoked for approximately 17 years. I've cut down before but never quit! I eat healthy and exercise a lot, smoked organic cigarettes (9$-pack). When I needed a new car, I chose to cut costs. My insurance covered Chantix so I tried it to save some money (I never imagined I would fully quit). One night I ran out of cigarettes and thought I'd just try it out. The next couple of days I got typical nicotine withdrawal and detox symptoms - shakes, blood sugar issues, nausea, sweats, emotional/anger outbursts. The detox was intense and made me realize the physical impact on my body! I'm 21 days nicotine-free and my weight maintained. I had stomach pain but fixed it by taking it with yogurt and 8oz water. Only other side effect- gas and crazy dreams." | 9 | July 15, 2010 | 7 | 135 |
120,983 | Venlafaxine | depression | "DO NOT TAKE!!! THIS MEDICATION RUINED MY LIFE IN THE SPACE OF A MONTH! It made me more depressed, agitated, irritable, lose my appetite, anxious beyond belief.... and that's only on the lowest dose! I cannot believe, in all my experience with depression, that an 'antidepressant' can make someone feel so depressed." | 1 | July 14, 2017 | 7 | 52 |
203,693 | Suvorexant | insomnia | "I am in my seventies and my doctor asked me to try and wean myself off of Ambien by using this new drug called Belsomra. Last night using the drug for the first time I had the one of the worst nights of my life. I had horrific and frightening nightmares where I felt like I was awake but I couldn't get up and I never felt like I went into a deep sleep. All day long today I have felt like I'm in a fog and my equilibrium is off. I will never use this drug again it is a nightmare in itself." | 1 | November 8, 2017 | 3 | 104 |
167,812 | Keflex | skin or soft tissue infection | "Prescribed 500 mg 4x a day for 10 days for an infected ingrown hair on my bikini line. I've gotten lots of ingrown hair infections in the past and usually just let them run their course, but taking this was SO much better! Cleared up by day 4, absolutely no side effects, even drinking alcohol went well. Only giving it a 9 because waking up to take it every 6 hours was very annoying, especially once it seemed to have gotten better." | 9 | May 1, 2017 | 22 | 82 |
4,439 | Belviq | obesity | "I am a 57 year old woman with about 75 pounds to lose. ( If I want to get into a "normal" weight range.) Have been taking 10 mgs of Belviq 2x a day for the 2 1/2 weeks.
The first day and a half, my stomach was a bit unsettled. And sometimes I feel a little fuzzy headed - but not terribly so. Now, the only thing that I experience is sleeping longer than I usually do. And - this is not a bad thing - but I sleep much better than I have for a long, long time.
I feel like the medication is definitely taking the edge off of my hunger. While I don't "forget to eat" I am certainly satisfied with eating much less. Probably 1/3 to 1/2 as much. And, so far, I have a lot more will power saying "no" to things that I usually wouldn't pass by. 3# down!" | 9 | January 28, 2017 | 21 | 156 |
179,826 | Adapalene / benzoyl peroxide | acne | "This is literally the worst medication ever. I've used it only a couple of times and it's done nothing but set my face on fire. I've had this rash around my nose for years and a doctor prescribed me this gel and it's bruised my face. It's made my rash rougher and very red, it burns and makes my face all flaky (even though I only put a dot around my nose) I don't recommend this medication for anyone, it's not effective at all. My sister also used it and it did the same to her, so it's not only my skin. Around my nose is all blotchy and red, it hurts and it's lumpy and VERY rough. It's been like this for days and I don't know what to do. I hope it doesn't scar, I'd be devastated. This medication only made it worse." | 1 | August 30, 2015 | 1 | 145 |
170,416 | Quetiapine | insomnia | "You owe it yourself to give this medication a chance. Been dealing with insomnia for 10 yrs. Then last year my little brother killed two people and committed suicide. My anxiety, depression, insomnia went into overdrive. No meds worked. Was prescribed 50 mg of generic Seroquel. If you've had insomnia for years, nothing is going to work the first night. You're worked up about the insomnia and so desperate for the pill to work that of course it's going to be a night from hell. That led to a rocky 2nd night. Night 3 I slept great! It takes 2 1/2 hrs for onset. I owe my life to this medication. If you have the kind of insomnia that is near psychosis please give this medication a real chance. You do not have to suffer anymore. Sweet dreams." | 10 | December 18, 2015 | 71 | 138 |
205,437 | Pristiq | depression | "My wife unexpectedly told me she wanted a divorce and I was devastated. We have two small boys. I instantly saw a psychiatrist who prescribed me 50 mg of Pristiq. It seemed to help somewhat but I would still breakdown into hysterical crying fits. After 15 days she put me on 100 mg and I've been fine ever since. I feel like I can deal with this now. I have not had any negative side effects, except shaking my leg. I do have insomnia but I had that from the anxiety of the divorce and I'm prescribed something to help me sleep. I can't say for sure if the Pristiq causes the insomnia, but I do feel a little amped. Overall, it's better than I thought as I generally don't feel like I'm on something and feel like myself." | 9 | December 29, 2014 | 141 | 139 |
94,559 | Abilify | depression | "I was diagnosed with depression in 2000. My doctor at the time was a bit of a quack and had no idea of the symptoms and treatments for depression. Moving forward, I have been seeing a very good doctor now for about 12 years. As you are well aware, not all meds for for all people. I am only writing this today in hopes of saving someone some time and frustration if Abilify is not working for you. I started taking Abilify as an enhancement to the Wellbutrin that I was already taking. As time went on, my depression got worse. To make a long story short, I went off of Abilify 3 months ago and life has been great. Not sleeping all day or dragging my butt, thinking clearer and have endless amounts of energy. STAY AWAY FROM THIS MED!" | 2 | October 8, 2016 | 24 | 141 |
168,988 | Vilazodone | depression | "This is the first antidepressant I've been on and so far so good. It worked rather quickly for my anxiety. It is working more slowly for my depression, but I still feel much better. I am currently on the 10 mg, maybe I'll go up to the 20 mg.
I read previous reviews and have been eating lots of protein with it so the lower GI side effects have not been bad at all for me.
Do actually follow the warning label and do not drink alcohol while on Viibryd. I had 3 glasses of wine last night and woke up depressed and mad at my fiance without much good reason. I had a similar experience last weekend with less alcohol and a bit less depressive/obsessive thinking but still not healthy feeling." | 9 | November 21, 2012 | 15 | 132 |
161,843 | Ciprofloxacin | urinary tract infection | "I took this medication for a simple UTI a year and a half ago and have been disabled ever since. Who would have thought an antibiotic could cause full body musculoskeletal damage and central nervous system damage for a lifetime after only taking it for 7 days? I was a 24 year old geologist, avid hiker and world traveller, and now I am a disabled 25 year old who had to move back in with her parents because I need help with every task in my life. I lost all my muscle strength and muscle tone. All my collagen is gone. The medication made me lose 10 lbs in just 4 days, and I only weighed 102 to begin with. My hands are numb and weak. I constantly feel like I have a bad case of the flu now, and I am allergic to eggs and chicken due to the med." | 1 | November 14, 2017 | 3 | 151 |

On Metformin twice a day for 4 weeks, carbs not over 130 per day w/ meal plan&snacks according to myplate guidelines. I keep a daily diary, recording the date & time of meals, content w/ carb counts. I'm doing this to help me see how what I eat translates to blood glucose levels which I was taking frequently the first two weeks, now once AM fasting.
As a 65 yo woman, VERY obese, never had a high bs until this year. My highest bs were in the 300's and a A1C of 9.8. With change in diet and Metformin, my last fasting BS was 104. I've lost 20 lbs, w/no diarrhea or stomach upets at all, but dramatic disinterest in eating, portions seem to big now I sure needed benefits Metformin is giving!" | 10 | February 14, 2015 | 59 | 144 |

Now I get the pills prescribed by my doctor and have extra on hand to take when I first see signs of cold sores. I never catch it at tingling stage so I can only review what it does after taking when blisters already formed. My symptoms would last 10-14 days without this med. it goes swollen and painful and gross too. But with this med, I only get a red patch for 3-4 days and then it's gone.

5,036 | Belviq | obesity | "Just a normal guy who used to be an outside telephone tech and now am in a supervisory role. I went from 5"10 172 pounds to 219 pounds in two years. My doctor has been telling me this weight was going to hurt my blood pressure as well as my knee joints. Since I have been on other weight loss campaigns like Nutrisystem and Weight Watchers I thought another gimmick. Results 26 pounds in four short months of easy dieting. I am now supplementing with light exercise and look forward to my next visit. Bad; a little constipation that was fixed by drinking more water and sleep well and now smoke less cigarettes. Not a cure all but a good start to a healthy lifestyle change." | 10 | March 29, 2014 | 52 | 126 |
36,577 | Fentanyl | chronic pain | "I've had the 75 mcg/hr patch on for 1 week with the pain level still the same as before using. I hope I'll be able to go to the 100mcg with better pain relief than the 75. Thank you!" | 3 | June 19, 2014 | 16 | 39 |
63,495 | Epiduo | acne | "At 14 I started getting acne, started using everything. My acne had gotten horrible at 15 and my doctor recommended epiduo gel. It got worse even whilst using it, but I still stuck to it. In about 8 months, my acne completely cleared on my cheeks, even the scars. No acne treatment will clear up your skin within weeks, give it time. I am still acne free and its a couple of years later" | 9 | February 4, 2016 | 9 | 74 |
208,515 | Clomid | emale infertility | "I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome. Took Clomid, Pregnant first month with TWINS! 3 months later, pregnant again (single birth) all on my own...no more Clomid. I had no side effects with Clomid. All 3 are perfectly healthy. Did I mention the twins are 28 now? Yes. For everyone who is taking or thinking of taking the medicine knowing that there are 28 year old perfectly healthy Clomid babies might make you feel more at ease! I know it would have been a relief for me to have heard some positive news 28 years ago while pregnant!" | 10 | September 5, 2013 | 486 | 98 |
11,349 | Mycophenolate mofetil | systemic lupus erythematosus | "I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in November of 2006. I've been taking Cellcept 2000mg a day since then. It has helped me tremendously! I hadn't experienced any real side effects until recently. I started having anxiety attacks after being put on the generic version of Cellcept." | 9 | October 28, 2009 | 57 | 48 |
12,224 | Loryna | birth control | "I've been on this BC for a month now, the first week was a little bumpy with emotions. I highly recommend giving it a week before making your decision on whether or not to stick with it. I'm back to my normal self now, I feel good and don't notice any side effects what-so-ever. My face is clear, sex drive normal. Overall, highly satisfied with this birth control." | 10 | February 17, 2017 | 7 | 68 |
201,176 | Zoloft | depression | "Been on Zoloft 50 mg for 3 weeks and I'm starting to feel like myself again. I have MDD, ADD, anxiety, panic attacks and insomnia but since taking this medication I am sleeping again and waking up without my alarm which has never happened. I was a little sick for the first few days however it passed. My panic attacks are almost gone. My doctor agreed to increase my dosage to 100 mg to see if I can get a little better I'm almost where I want to be but my negative emotions have subsided tremendously. I know this road is hard for all of us but don't give up. Remember the chemical make up in your brain changes overtime, so when something stops working seek help. Best regards!" | 8 | November 19, 2016 | 68 | 129 |

99,036 | Lutera | birth control | "I'm about 50/50 on this BC. I started it about 4 months ago, of course from a recommendation by my doctor. Unlike most people, I haven't had breakouts (in fact, my skins been quite clear) amd I havent gained weight. It's helped with all mood swings I had prior to taking the pill and it hasn't altered my sex drive. The only problem I have with it is that my periods are about two to three times longer as they were. I used to have 5 day long periods; they were heavy and irregular with patterns. Sometimes I'd have them every two months, sometimes every two weeks. Now they're once every month, but last 10 to 15 days... its very, very light, but its still annoying. But then again it's different for everyone." | 5 | July 30, 2015 | 3 | 133 |
