113,180 | Bisacodyl | constipation | "Took 3 tablets at 11, woke up at 3am with extreme abdominal pain. Ran to toilet and remained there for 1.5 hours writhing in pain with diarrhea and vomiting. Had to call in sick to work and am still feeling unwell nearly 24 hrs later. Throwing out the rest of the packet." | 2 | March 9, 2016 | 6 | 52 |
140,038 | Xanax XR | anxiety | "1mg of alprazolam XR at night and sleep like a baby. No side effects, no need to increase the dose. It's a wonder medicine for me because I can't stop my mind racing. But this does." | 10 | January 11, 2015 | 75 | 36 |
116,679 | Lamictal | bipolar disorde | "It really does work amazingly! I am bipolar II. was originally diagnosed as having major depressive disorder, but my depression did fluctuate in intensity quite a bit, so my psychiatrist thought Lamictal could work and that I could bipolar. So I started Lamictal (ironically right before I started the Lamictal I started having hypomania and was then properly diagnosed as bipolar II) For weeks it really did not help much - and then I reached the full dose of 200mg. I've been on this dose for a month and have felt completely normal or virtually normal most of the time! The medication isn't perfect though, as the depression ocassionally comes on rather hard, but even when it does it is temporary and NOWHERE near as bad as it was before." | 9 | April 24, 2017 | 36 | 130 |
212,510 | Lysine | herpes simplex, suppression | "I accidentally found out about lysine by surfing the internet. Bought the store brand and in 1 month no outbreaks! It truly works! My regimen 1000mg daily and use alcohol wet naps to cleanse the area each bathroom use. Thank GOD for lysine!" | 10 | July 19, 2016 | 38 | 43 |
187,099 | Safyral | birth control | "I love this birth control. No weight gain, acne cleared up, shorter/lighter periods. Only problem is I can't tolerate wearing my contact lenses for very long (no more than 4hrs). Best thing about it, no babies!" | 10 | November 10, 2014 | 4 | 36 |
25,044 | Hylan g-f 20 | osteoarthritis | "Acute pain and swelling 6 hrs after the injection , unable to walk, difficult to sleep. Can't bend my knee and in absolute agony. Day 5 and my entire life is on hold as it very difficult to move, wish I would never have had the shot- dangerous!!" | 1 | December 4, 2016 | 21 | 48 |
97,913 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I got it in October of 2012. I am getting it out in about two weeks. Being on this birth control was the best for me. It stopped my period until last week. I am so getting it again and I don't have cramps or any bloating when I get my period also not heavy." | 10 | September 29, 2015 | 9 | 55 |
135,764 | Percocet | pain | "I just recently got this medicine for tooth pain. As I am going to dds for several issues.. My RX I 5/325. I've noticed it minimizes the pain but doesn't take it away. I also am going g thru major nausea sometime vomiting. It makes me so tired feeling and always thirsty feeling... I may need to just stick with motrin..

119,567 | Testosterone | hypogonadism, male | "WOW! I was weary at first when my doctor offered this new topical testosterone at my annual check up. The doctor gave me a free month to start and then a co-pay card that covered me at $25.00 per month for the first year. I even read on the card that it covers for cash paying patients without insurance coverage. Pay attention to the instructions because this is way different vs the gels. No mess if you follow the instructions. No more Androgel mess. Piece of cake. Thanks Doctor." | 10 | July 28, 2011 | 64 | 89 |
76,355 | Lesinurad | gout | "I had been on their study for about 3 or so years. My first attack kept me from walking for a month .I was having attacks every two weeks for a couple of years. Since joining the study I had a minor attack in the first week and nothing after.I had NO side effects and it did change my life. The study ended on 3/2016 and have been completely off medication since HOWEVER I can feel a tingle on my toe and may have to go back on medication" | 10 | December 11, 2016 | 3 | 89 |
193,383 | Cyclobenzaprine | migraine | "I was first prescribed Flexeril in 1994 and have been in love with it ever since. I suffer from recurring migraines and bad sinus headaches. My doctor at the time tried many different remedies, but the combination of 10mg of Flexeril along with 500mg of Naproxen has been a "100%" effective result since I first took it. I only take it when I am at home though because the Flexeril makes me very sleepy. FYI: body size doesn't matter to this little pill as I'm 6'4", 230lbs!" | 10 | April 20, 2010 | 59 | 87 |
167,349 | Levonorgestrel | emergency contraception | "Worked! I had unprotected sex and he didn't pull out, the first thing that came to my mind is plan b pill. I had unprotected sex on May12th at 3am and took the pill that day at 8pm... The reason why it took me a while to take it was because every store I went to, it was sold out. On the side effects, I was worried because some reviews I read most girls had side effects and I was hoping side effects will come soon just to have that peace of mind that the pill worked... But 2 days later after I took the pill I did experience bloatings for a good week aswell diaharria, slight headaches, at some points I did felt that I needed to vomit but didn't. Cycle started may23
FYI first time taking Plan b - never been on birthcontrol - one past abortion" | 10 | March 23, 2016 | 6 | 149 |
48,959 | Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel | birth control | "20 yr old female here,
I was put on Alesse for acne & contraceptive purposes.
Acne runs in my family. My mom had it really badly until she was about 21.
I was on tri-cyclen lo but it made me feel sick in the mornings.
So Alesse was pretty bad. I was on it for (just under) a year.
I didn't get pregnant even though I never used a condom with my boyfriend. It helped my acne somewhat except I got cystic flare-ups on my chin & small dots on my forehead during my period. I gained about 10lbs. Period cramps were still bad & lasted for days sometimes. MADE ME AN EMOTIONAL WRECK. I'd cry so easily & felt unusually depressed/anxious.
I believe I have too much testosterone in my blood so Alesse might not have been strong enough" | 5 | October 13, 2016 | 3 | 140 |
103,287 | Celecoxib | pain | "I started taking a morning dose for 24 hours last Friday, 2/5/2016. Pain free immediately, but had very itchy areas. Had to stop taking due to intensity of itchy rash Monday morning 2/8/2016, but by 2pm, wish I had taken one this morning again!! ALMOST WORTH IT!" | 8 | February 8, 2016 | 39 | 47 |
145,404 | Zithromax | sinusitis | "After suffering from a cold for 8 days, I woke up with extreme pressure in my sinuses and couldn't hear due to my ears being clogged. I was prescribed the 3 day Zithromax and after one day felt sooo much better. The pressure went away and I had a slightly runny nose. One the second day I could breathe without using decongestants. I haven't had any side effects, but maybe a slight pang in my stomache when taking (I usually eat something right after taking). I'm usually resistant to going to the dr. but very glad I did this time." | 10 | October 13, 2012 | 94 | 100 |
89,041 | Singulair | allergic rhinitis | "I tried Singulair because I have nasal allergies that turn into nasty sinus infections every couple of months. I also have panic disorder, but it's well controlled with medication.
I was only able to take Singulair for 4 days due to side effects, so I can't say how well it works. It made me so sleepy that I was sleeping 12-15 hours a day, and still tired when I was awake. I haven't had a panic attack in over a year, and my anxiety went through the roof on this stuff. My panic attacks were so bad, I was having trouble driving. I was also moody and irritable the days I took it. Luckily, all of the negative side effects went away within a couple of days of stopping Singulair. Stay away from this drug if you are prone to anxiety!!!" | 1 | April 23, 2016 | 43 | 141 |
154,377 | Reglan | nausea/vomiting | "This was given to me as an IV and I felt restless and anxious. I had hallucinations and unbelievable depression and emotional pain. I thought I went crazy and had suicidal thoughts. I was depressed for a month after that. I couldn't tell you if it worked because I was too busy arguing with myself on whether I was crazy. I am one of those people who never thought suicide was an answer to anything, but this medicine made me believe it was the only answer. " | 1 | November 12, 2009 | 45 | 87 |
172,694 | Clonazepam | anxiety | "I am going through difficult period of my life. Breaking my family apart, switching jobs and I have to still function on full speed..take care of my son half time, work and other stuff. For me it is the hardest time ever. But thanks to clonazepam I can go through it pretty well and I am making life change that will be wonderful then. I hope I can get of clonazepam one time. I take 7 months approximately 0.5 mg a day. Sometimes I go several days without but most of them this dosage. Sometimes I take it twice a day. After my life changes will be done, I plan use clonazepam only for specific situations. Big meetings or business trips. I am a little bit socialy anxious, but not much. I know I have to be careful with this drug. Take care." | 10 | February 24, 2015 | 3 | 143 |
45,824 | Fluoxetine | anxiety and stress | "Started taking Prozac about 6 months ago. I'm taking care of my 82 year old mother who has Dementia and I found my stress and anxiety going through the roof, many sleepless nights too. The positives are that I sleep much better, my anxiety is pretty much gone and I'm much calmer and I'm handling my mother so much better. The negatives are: no motivation at all - photography is my passion but I have not picked up a camera since started this medicine. I find myself grinding my teeth all the time. Loss of libido, the worst thing out of it though was that I lost weight, I weighed 98 pounds but lost 13 pounds within the first month and can't seem to get it back. I'm now at 89 pounds and look terrible!.I'm going back to doctor next week." | 7 | October 3, 2010 | 45 | 141 |
142,358 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I hate it I got mine on August 4th 2017 what was supposed to be the last day of my period and I've not stopped bleeding since and I'm going on almost 3 months of none stop bleeding, my obgyn says this is normal for some women - well i just want it out!" | 1 | October 19, 2017 | 4 | 54 |
181,661 | Prozac | depression | "I have been taking Prozac for a little over a year. I started out taking 20mgs then, switched to 40mgs 2 months after I starting taking it. It helped me with the feelings of worthlessness, feeling like a failure and my thoughts of taking myself out of the pain. I finally saw a mental health Dr who diagnosed me with severe depression and increased my dosage to 60 mgs a day. I feel much better and the little things don't send me over the edge like they used to. I do have side effects such as dry mouth, always tired, increased/decreased appetite and recently diagnosed with lichenoid dermatitis. My Dermatologist is encouraging my dr to change my psych meds. I am unsure on that; the Prozac has helped me to want to live." | 8 | May 1, 2013 | 92 | 133 |
201,129 | Zoloft | depression | "Zoloft was the first anti-depressant I tried and it worked well enough that I stuck with it. The first 2-3 weeks were difficult. I found myself yawning constantly, extremely drowsy, having no appetite, nauseous when I DID eat, thinking about doom and death. But those were side effects that all eventually subsided. I feel a lot better because I have more control over my emotions and anxiety. I cry much less now and don't lie in bed at night thinking about suicide as much anymore. I went down in dosage from 75 mg because I felt a little too muted, like things that were REALLY supposed to bother me didn't, and the nausea on 75 mg really sucked. I was finding myself vomiting for no reason. 50 mg has been good to me the last 6 months." | 7 | December 22, 2016 | 49 | 137 |
205,172 | Pristiq | depression | "This drug has changed me back to the person I recall being 20 yrs ago. For the first time in years I've been waking up early with energy ready to take on the day. I have a 1 year old toddler and a beautiful wife and I want to be all I can for them and I don't think it would be possible without the assistance of this medication. I am also a surgeon and lead a stressful lifestyle so I need all the help I can get.
There's been a lot of trial error along the way...
My Advice: keep trying different anti-depressants and by 12 months there is a 90% chance you'll find the right one for you.
If the medication gives you a significant improvement (but falls short of 100%) stick with it and sort the rest out with psychotherapy." | 10 | September 7, 2017 | 25 | 143 |
143,825 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I have had the bar for over 6 months now. For the first 6 months i experienced no bleeding with some cramping. (Before being on bc i hardley ever experienced cramps & they were minor. My flow was regular, not too heavy.) I got my period about 3 weeks ago. It went on for 2 weeks before starting to lighten up, then suddenly got heavy and VERY painful. I have never experienced cramps like this, even when I messed up my cycle bad on the pill. I am in pain all day, sometimes I cant even move. Made an appt with my doctor to talk about it, not sure yet if I will get it removed. I dont know what to do, i kept forgetting to take the pill on time so thats not an option for me, I just want my natural cycle back. Might stop taking bc alltogether." | 3 | September 21, 2016 | 2 | 150 |
93,238 | Vortioxetine | depression | "This was the by far the best antidepressant for my mood, but I developed symptoms that took 8 months to figure out was definitely the med. Tachycardia + high blood pressure led to 2 hospital trips. Then coccyx pain which at first made it nearly impossible to sit for any length of time, which spread to my hips and groin and moved down my legs until I could barely walk even with a cane (I'm 35 and prior to this speed walking everywhere). Spend $100s on physio. Nerve pain in legs which made even light touch painful, a little in arms which felt like tendinitis. Gained 30lbs due to inability to exercise. Took 2 months to mostly walk again, but now able to walk at a slow pace without cane but stiffness remains in hot spots, will recover fully." | 2 | September 22, 2015 | 7 | 139 |
44,204 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "I just got through my first pack of Ortho Cyclen and have noticed a few side effects: increased sensitivity, vaginal dryness, spotting, and acne. I had really clear skin and never any acne problems before starting this pill (except the occasional pimple around that time of the month), but now it seems as though my face breaks out every few days. As for the vaginal dryness, I never had any problems with that before either. Now sex is really painful unless I make sure to use lube. Hopefully these side effects go away once my body adjusts." | 6 | September 19, 2011 | 15 | 97 |
40,422 | Savella | ibromyalgia | "I am male with Fibromyalgia since the early 1990's. Have tried a variety of regimens and some medications to help. Started Savella the first time late in 2009. Side effects became so bad that I chose to stop. Fibromyalgia got to the point that it was ruining quality of life, so I started again in February. This time, I decided to go really slow with the titration. Two weeks at 25 mg a day, 2 weeks at 37.5 mg, etc. Now at 50 mg a day in 2 doses. Have occasional nausea, prostrate-like issues, headaches, and rapid heartbeat, but not severe enough to stop. Pain management is much better. May try increased dosage to see what happens. Stick with it and go slowly is my advice." | 7 | May 13, 2010 | 32 | 126 |
100,069 | Desogestrel / ethinyl estradiol | birth control | "I took this pill for 4 months thinking my body will get use to it but it only got worse. I have been taking different birth control pills for about 6 years now and never have I ever had the symptoms that I had on this pill. My periods were heavy and lasted 7 plus days. I had intense cramps to the point that I couldn't move and had to practice breathing exercises. I had blood clots that were the size of quarters or bigger. It may have just been my body but I will not go back to this pill." | 2 | March 14, 2017 | 7 | 101 |
135,865 | Percocet | pain | "I'm a hemophiliac with severe arthritis and due for a right hip and left knee replacement. My entire life I've lived with chronic pain from bleeding episodes to my degenerative joint disease. I've been prescribed liquid morphine, Dilaudid, Vicodin, morphine sulfate, Tylenol 3's, Oxycontin, pretty much everything they've got. But the only thing that truly does help me function in my everyday life without getting to loopy is Percocet. I give it a 10." | 10 | August 15, 2009 | 38 | 74 |
173,485 | Clonazepam | bipolar disorde | "This medicine made me worse. I became aggressive and violent. The only time I have ever seriously thought I was going to really hurt someone was while I was on this medicine. I unfortunately wasn't able to stay on this long enough to see whether this would have gotten better." | 1 | April 28, 2009 | 31 | 50 |
82,290 | Liraglutide | diabetes, type 2 | "Didn't do bad on .06 the first week but still had a strong urge to eat. Had diarrhea and headaches. Then I started 1.2 two days ago and today I was so nauseated I prayed to vomit. Then I started vomiting and it won't stop. I take medication other than victoza every night at bedtime including metformin and a few minutes ago I threw up most of my pills from last night still intact but swollen. The food from 4 days ago smelled like roadkill. I fear how long it will be before someone dies of an overdose from old medication in their stomach not digesting in time for future doses. It's been more than 20 hours since I ingested anything but water and a vanilla breakfast shake. I will not be taking my regular meds tonight. Victoza is out!!!!!!" | 1 | July 23, 2015 | 43 | 140 |
13,371 | Amphetamine / dextroamphetamine | adhd | "My experience with adderall, for one it makes me poop like crazy, I'm super thirsty (dry mouth) and it KILLS my appetite. I don't eat for hours and I didn't have a desire to. But while I was at work I was on top of everything, as far proofreading, catching errors, it does make you focus and more alert. I was multi tasking and the fact that i didn't feel overwhelmed, was a plus." | 10 | August 10, 2016 | 35 | 74 |
118,498 | Fetzima | depression | "I was switched from celexa to fetzima. I started on 20mg for a few days then increased to 40mg. It did not helped my depression at all. I was crying and repetitive thoughts. Side effects were awful: constipation, dizziness, retrograde ejaculation, anxiety, irritability etc...I switched to viibyrd. So far its a lot better." | 2 | September 8, 2015 | 27 | 53 |
29,401 | Topiramate | migraine prevention | "I started taking this medication for migraines yesterday although I was prescribed it about a month ago. I was very hesitant to start it because of the side affects, but Monday I had the worst migraine with aura I have had in about 6 months. I am taking 25 mg twice a day. My provider wants me slowly elevating by 25 mg per week until I reach 150. I feel very cloudy today, but it might be because I am still recovering from my migraine. I will update in a month." | 7 | September 23, 2015 | 6 | 91 |
174,321 | Tri-Lo-Sprintec | birth control | "I am almost done w/ my 1st pack, which is a new formulation that came out late last year. I did take FE microgestin 1/20 a few years ago & stopped because that made me lose my libido, gain weight, and just feel dead inside. I decided to give it a shot again & was given this as a generic alternative I like this better than microgestin, but I have been feeling extremely tired and unmotivated, experienced minor spotting during the 3rd week of hormone pills, and my vision becomes blurry from time to time. Not sure if the blurry vision is normal, but I hope that these symptoms subside after my body gets more used to it. Will leave another review in a few months." | 6 | March 12, 2016 | 3 | 126 |
52,842 | Elmiron | interstitial cystitis | "I have been taking ELMIRON off and on since 2005. It has helped tremendously but the price is high even with insurance! I have not had my liver enzymes checked since the beginning!" | 8 | December 3, 2009 | 24 | 33 |
151,188 | OxyContin | pain | "I've been taking this medication 10mg 4 x a day and it has really helped. I was initially taking hydrocodone for about a year until having surgery (Fusion and Laminectomy - L5 S1) and I have to agree with some of you, when I first started taking it, it worked great and provided relief for about 5 to 6 hours. Now after 6 months, it doesn't seem to be working as it used to but I will be talking with my doctor next month regarding this issue. It seems to only work 3 to 4 hours and does not provide relief like it used to when I first started taking it. I broke one tablet in half since they're scored and took 15mg and this worked but it tells me I'm becoming or am dependent on it. I tried to go without it for 3 days and I hurt worse and vomited." | 7 | April 9, 2010 | 31 | 152 |
197,449 | Paroxetine | panic disorde | "Paxil helped me eight years ago when I had postpartum depression. I have tried twice to wean my self off the Paxil but only to come crashing down months later. I think it is important to realize that I am on Paxil because I have panic attacks and the medicine works. If I had a heart condition, I would not stop taking my medicine. Don't feel guilty that you need medicine to help your brain function. I fell into that trap twice and will remain on my medicine and be faithful in taking it. It is when you feel great that you think you don't need it. The last time I started taking the Paxil again 10mg was enough. After two days my doctor said to take 20mg and I had the three worst days of my life. Start on 10mg for a week and work up only if needed." | 9 | March 8, 2010 | 6 | 150 |
140,438 | Escitalopram | anxiety | "My anxiety peaked 6 years ago. Not only did I dread social interaction of any kind (talking to co-workers, going out with friends, even being around my own family) but I had experienced a panic attack on the freeway which kept me from driving anywhere far from my home for two years. I was extremely stubborn and didn't want chemicals to "change" my reality. I finally had to admit to myself that my reality sucked - bad. I'm overjoyed to report that Lexapro saved me. It took a month for me to realize I was greeting people in passing again. I drive on the freeway again and love being around people. Stick with it even if you feel "weird" at first. You CAN have your life back! I take it at night, the initial drowsiness helps me sleep." | 10 | June 16, 2017 | 49 | 138 |
174,644 | Abreva | herpes simplex | "I love Abreva! I was exposed to the virus that causes cold sores on the lip one year ago. The first time was terrible is never been through it so I didn't know what to do, but this time round I knew exactly how to handle it" | 10 | February 8, 2015 | 11 | 47 |
197,524 | Paroxetine | panic disorde | "I have had panic disorder since I was about 6. It came and went and has caused me severe avoidance issues throughout my life. I have been taking Paxil for about 8 years and it has worked wonders. It has been awesome...until recently. Within the last 4 months, it just seems to have quit working well. I am having severe attacks from time to time, but I am starting to avoid things/situations. It did make me gain about 30 pounds. I tend to clench my jaws and I startle easily, but those are the only side effect I notice. My family and close friends say I am much more of a pleasure to be around while I am on it. I am not a mean person nor have anger issues, but I am just not so anxious and uptight." | 7 | March 31, 2009 | 26 | 139 |
60,503 | Ranexa | angina | "Had two heart caths to fix a blocked right artery but the Docs were unsuccessful. I've been on Ranexa for about a year for angina pain. Started on 1000 mg twice daily but after a couple months I began to get dizzy spells. So I cut back to 500 mg twice daily and I still have no angina pain and now no dizziness. Tried to cut back to 500 mg once a day, but angina came back. So Ranexa definitely helps. I'm now back to taking 500 mg twice daily." | 9 | November 20, 2017 | 1 | 90 |
28,911 | Lexapro | anxiety | "I was put on this for my anxiety disorder and my bulimia/anorexia. I was put on 5 mg and than bumped up to 15 mg over a months times. I started this drug three months ago and last month I had to be taken off. I had bruises all over my legs, I had no energy, I would fall asleep at 10pm and wake up at noon the next day and be taking a nap at 3pm. My anxiety improved some but those side effects were too much." | 3 | June 16, 2009 | 10 | 88 |
121,057 | Venlafaxine | depression | "Seems to work well. I am less angry. Call other drivers a Knuckle head now instead of a stupid SOB. lol
It made me really sick at first with 50mg twice a day but Dr changed to 25mg twice a day for two weeks & I built up a tolerance to it. Now back to 50mg 2 times daily with no problem.
I do now have a low tolerance for some foods that I use to eat with no problem. Mostly spicy foods (Italian, Mexican, Honey mustard etc.)" | 5 | March 2, 2017 | 6 | 88 |
202,160 | Benzoyl peroxide / clindamycin | acne | "I was never one to have severe acne, just a few small bumps here and there with a few big pimples that come every so often.However, they scarred very easily and left huge dark spots that were like 5x the size of little whitehead. I went to my doctor to get rid of these dark spots that everyone was noticing. She prescribed benzaclin and I saw results! She recommended I cleanse my face with an Aveeno product, as it is gentle on skin, and it is amazing! At night I wash my face with Aveeno Positively Radiant cleanser and then apply benzaclin (mainly focussing on the area with the dark spots). In the morning I use Aveeno Positively Radiant moisturizer and these dark spots fade very quickly and it prevents further pimples. My face glows now!" | 10 | May 20, 2015 | 13 | 136 |
209,262 | Geodon | bipolar disorde | "I have been Bi-Polar since I was fifteen. I have struggled with my life, sense of who I am, losing great jobs, ruining relationships and never knowing when I would lose control was the worst part. I'm now on 80 mg of Geodon for 6 months. For the first two weeks waking up was hard and I felt groggy but you can get through it if you give it a chance. This medication has changed my entire life. I've even lost weight. I'm living now. I just hope this can help someone because I never believed any medicine would work. I have been on all A-Z. I only wish I had found Geodon sooner. " | 10 | November 11, 2008 | 168 | 115 |

224,160 | Oxymetazoline | rosacea | "I used Rhofade a few times and it seemed to work. After about 3 days, my face became really red and flushed. I felt like I was burning up. My doctor told me to stop it." | 1 | August 4, 2017 | 4 | 36 |
12,301 | Atripla | hiv infection | "I have been using Atripla now for about three months. I haven't gotten my second blood test. However, when I began taking Atripla my CD4 was 386 and my viral load was 85K. I was experiencing acute respiratory problems. As soon as I began taking Atripla within several weeks my lymphnodes began to shrink and the respiratory issue (persistent cough) went away.
Side Effects:
Severe Drowsiness ("Drunk Feeling") - 24hrs
Severe Nausea - 24hrs
Vivid Dreams - 2 weeks (Mostly clowns and snakes)
Sleepiness - 2 weeks ... I still only take Atripla at night, but it no longer makes me as sleepy as it did when I first started taking it
I do not yet know how my numbers have improved. I'll report back in a few weeks with those." | 9 | June 30, 2014 | 14 | 131 |
141,902 | Escitalopram | anxiety | "I've been taking Lexapro since November of last year (2009) and it works great! I used to get really nervous entering a room or place with large crowds and now it's easy being the center of attention, especially me wanting to be an actress and all...it really helps! I'm the person I've always wanted to be...confident, outgoing, and alot of other things. Although, It would be great if I could do this without the medicine, however, I had tried getting off of it and the anxiety came right back. So, it just works great. I don't get nervous or embarrassed easily anymore. I'm not as moody either...it helps with that. What more can I say? If you suffer from anxiety, this is great! I no longer have panic attacks either." | 10 | March 28, 2010 | 42 | 130 |

Lamictak is the greatest drug for me it most literally SAVED MY LIFE

If you have similar symptoms never hesitate. Give it a TRY for sure." | 10 | October 21, 2013 | 76 | 87 |
186,090 | Desvenlafaxine | depression | "Took with tramadol. First two days was fine and had a blast of energy! Then felt I was having allergic reaction. I switched the pristiq to night time before bed and took the tramadol in the morning and afternoon instead of at the same time. Problems solved and no issues. After nearly a month of use I am starting to feel tired again and flat as opposed to the energy I was feeling when I first started. The veterans administration covers my cost. It just recently got approved but still requires a special authorization." | 7 | July 2, 2015 | 15 | 94 |

It doesn't make me tired or groggy anymore.. It just calms me down when having some anxiety or feeling out of sorts with my mood.. It does a good job at leveling me out" | 9 | August 11, 2016 | 31 | 60 |
215,132 | Lubiprostone | irritable bowel syndrome | "Took this medication for one day, that might had painful diarrhea and a lot of gas. This is not a solutions for IBS if it just gives you more pain. Do not recommend if you are able to have semi regular bowel movements. It's just too strong. Gave me heartburn and nausea too." | 4 | February 15, 2017 | 10 | 53 |
99,178 | Lutera | birth control | "I've been on Lutera now for over two years and I love it! My doctor started me on Yaz, which gave me cramps every day and made me extremely moody. After 3 months of Yaz I switched to Lutera and my crampiness and moodiness have been much improved ever since! I used to experience moderate to severe cramps the week before and during my period. I was also unable to exercise without taking Advil. On Lutera my cramps are much milder, only last about 2 days, and I can exercise without taking medicine. Also, my period was highly irregular before Lutera. Now my period comes at the same time every month and lasts exactly five days. The only downside is that my sex drive is much lower on the pill. But I still recommend Lutera for first-time users." | 9 | November 4, 2011 | 2 | 138 |
12,281 | Faslodex | breast cancer, metastatic | "Horrible, painful injections, my hips would swell out like a lumpy wing. Was on it for 3 months and it was like miracle grow for my MBC, my liver mets flourished into a garden of tumors. Aromasin for 9 months started the two small liver lesions to multiply like crazy and the Faslodex was worse. All sizes of tumors, the largest being 12 cm. I was on the cusp of liver failure. Also caused sciatica in my left side and have had that for a yr and will never go away.
New oncologist put me on Taxol for 7 months. The first 5 months liver enzymes were dropping, tumors shrinking and the last 2 months Taxol stopped working. Eveything reversed. Tried CMF and Xeloda, side effects were severe I refused to do any more treatments. Abraxane now, bad side effects." | 1 | September 14, 2017 | 0 | 140 |
115,090 | Diazepam | anxiety | "Recently began suffering generalized anxiety disorder, took me to the point of suicide, prescribed diazepam. The 1st time I took it I felt aggressive and annoyed easily however after a few days I can safely say it has greatly reduced my anxiety for now however my doctor has said he will not let me stay on it due to the bodies ability to easily resist the medicine over time requiring greater doses etc. Desperately do not want to try antidepressants again (due to a previous severe reaction). We shall see." | 8 | July 19, 2014 | 87 | 90 |
22,260 | Baclofen | chronic spasticity | "I have been taking the medicine since November 2012. I started at 10mg a day, then 20mg daily, and now at 30mg daily in 3 divided doses. I am on this medicine due to a spinal cord stroke I suffered in July 2012 that left me unable to walk. It was an incomplete stroke though so as time has gone by I have been able to use my walker in place of the wheelchair. Over the past couple of days I have found myself being able to walk seven to ten steps on my own. I attribute this to the baclofen working on the spasticity in my right leg. Side effects were some drowsiness at the beginning, but I am also on tramadol, oxycodone, Lyrica, and morphine, so it may be that some effects were simply masked by these other medications. I give baclofen an A !" | 9 | September 14, 2013 | 41 | 147 |
5,378 | Cryselle | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I've been taking cryselle since I was 15, I am now 21. I needed a medication to lighten my periods because I have severe anemia. Overall, I was satisfied with this birth control. I did have side effects like weight gain. I gained nearly 50 lbs over the last 7 years which isn't normal since I have a strict diet and work out every single day. My periods were still heavy at first. But during the last year and a half, my periods last 2 days and are very light like spotting. I am sexually actively, so I was worried that I may have been pregnant, but tests say otherwise. I had random acne before my periods on my chin and cheeks. I craved salty foods around the time of my period so that could be the culprit of my acne. Cramps weren't awful. There would be cramps that stopped my in my tracks but they lasted a few seconds and I was fine. It's just the normal period symptoms that are normal to have! I am currently switching to lo loestrine and have read more bad reviews than good ones. So I'm not sure that I want to go ahead and start the pack after my last dose of cryselle or not." | 8 | January 16, 2017 | 2 | 213 |
5,155 | Orsythia | birth control | "I never have a problem with this birth control. I've been on Orsythia for at least 3 years. I see all of the bad reviews, which I find interesting. I've never had a problem. I don't get cramps anymore and I have a very light, short period. I've never gotten pregnant. Very effective for me." | 10 | September 16, 2015 | 10 | 55 |
125,568 | Flagyl | helicobacter pylori infection | "I am now on day 7 of a 14. I'm on Metronidazole, Omeprazole & clarithromycin. I have had H-pylori 3 times with in a year. The treatment for me has been awful. The dosage was tripled and it has given me nausea, bloating, foggy memory, a white film on my tongue & fatigue. The metallic taste last all day. The thing that you need to be aware of is if you continue to get H-pylori like I have, it can be a precursor to stomach cancer. After this round of treatment I have taken the steps to see a gastroenterologist, to insist that he does an endoscopy, to ensure me that there isn't anything for me to be concerned with at this time. It's a very scary feeling to have gotten this infection at least 3 times within a year." | 7 | May 19, 2017 | 4 | 140 |
124,701 | Tri-Previfem | birth control | "PLEASE do not take this. I haven't been this depressed in a year but I truly feel like this has made it come back with a vengeance. JUST DON'T TAKE IT.

202,706 | Hydroxychloroquine | sjogren's syndrome | "I have been on generic hydroxychloroquine now for 2 years. I have primary Sjogrens and secondary diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. Apparently I had Sjogrens for over 10-15 years before doctors figured it out. If the Fibromyaligia hadn't hit me 3 years ago I guess I would still be suffering. I take 200 mg twice a day and it has helped me so much. I use it with Savella for my Fibro pain. The only problem I have is a slight buzzing or ringing in my ears. But I can work full time and have a normal life. Still get occasional pain in feet and legs but all and all feel great." | 9 | September 10, 2012 | 73 | 110 |
171,994 | Amitiza | constipation, drug induced | "It seemed to work for a couple of days. Afterwards I had the side effect of over-sleeping. I slept an extra 3 hours on the 3rd morning of this drug's use. Also, no output. I had to use enema to get some output. No s**t!! I wasted hundreds of dollars cash on this drug." | 2 | June 20, 2015 | 27 | 54 |
223,916 | TriNessa Lo | acne | "Okay honestly I'm not sure how well this has worked in terms of combating my acne. I started in December and ever since then I've had a mixture of AMAZING skin days but also a few bad breakouts of cystic acne (currently me right now). I honestly don't really know how to rate this because I think it has helped in some ways but it's hard to tell. I also went on minocycline recently which previously helped a lot but this time I went on it I think it broke me out even more?? Anyways thats my experience so far I'll stay on it to see if it gets better even though I've been on it quite a while" | 6 | July 29, 2017 | 1 | 119 |
25,713 | Ethinyl estradiol / norelgestromin | birth control | "I love this patch and would recommend it to anyone! I'm British so the cost is all covered too which is even better! On the first full day of using the patch I was violently sick and felt nauseous for the morning but that was it. Since then I have actually calmed down with mood swings and a lot less snappy! Also I'm quite small and have naturally small breasts but have gone up about half a cup size in the 3 weeks I've been on it!" | 9 | March 22, 2014 | 15 | 87 |
203,045 | Gildess Fe 1 / 20 | birth control | "This pill did tremendously help with my cramps and lighten my period. But I have thought I was losing my mind since I started it. Very depressed all the time, extreme highs and way more extreme lows, my skin has never broken out like it has since starting this pill, I've gained almost 40 pounds no matter how I cut back and exercise more I can't get rid of it (something I've never had a problem with), my hair is literally falling out, I'm so achy and sore all day everyday, and I don't even know what sleep is anymore. Funny enough I didn't connect any of these symptoms to this pill even though it all didn't start until after I started this pill, it was just another sleepless night on the net. I'll just deal with the cramps, not worth it" | 4 | August 18, 2015 | 7 | 142 |
131,051 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I just got mine today about 2 hours ago and I felt NO PAIN WHAT-SO-EVER. I had read all of these reviews a few days ago and wasn't to worried but was expecting to feel some pain. Apparently the Doctor expected me to be a little uncomfortable as well because he kept asking if I was doing okay, and when it was done he said I did wonderful. Of the whole process the only complication was that the Doctor dropped the betadine and spilled it all over himself..LOL. I actually laughed most of the way through the procedure while discussing the bad case of the "Dropsies" he was experiencing that day. Still at this point I am not having any problems or cramps that would make me uncomfortable. Hopefully it will be this uneventful for the duration." | 10 | July 31, 2009 | 6 | 137 |
141,499 | Escitalopram | generalized anxiety disorde | "I used Lexapro about ten years ago for a year and went back on it a couple months ago. For a couple days at the start, I felt a bit of pressure in my head--a mild squeezing sensation--but nothing too bad. Now, no side effects at all and I'm feeling decidedly better. The constant feeling of dread is gone and my thinking is clearer. A wonderful help. I'm not worried about going off it eventually. Last time I just tapered down. I had some vivid dreams, but that was it." | 10 | August 8, 2013 | 56 | 90 |
184,311 | Hydroxyzine | anxiety | "I'm currently on this medication for anxiety plus Lexapro also for anxiety. It just makes me super sleepy which doesn't work for me with having a 6m old and a 6y old. I have horrible car anxiety and I took one 15-30 min before I had to go in the car and I broke down and cried and could not feel anything at all. I was not driving thank God. It just doesn't work for me but it does take the numbness tingly feeling I get from the Lexapro away. About the only good thing." | 3 | July 6, 2014 | 15 | 95 |
133,042 | Loestrin 24 Fe | 2</span> users found this comment helpful. | "As a first time user of birth control I did a lot of research after being prescribed Loestrin 24 Fe. I honestly got very scared after reading so many negative reviews that I almost didnt take it. But I did and I am very pleased with my experience.
I am 27 and one of the main factors for me choosing birth control was that I began working out a lot and started having a period 2 times a month which I hated. I take my pill at 10 PM each night and have never had any nausea, weight gain, pimples or negative side effects. I am an emotional person so honestly I cant give feedback on if it has affected my emotions. Regardless I have not experienced any extreme changes in myself. I'm on pack 2 and I love having a shorter period. I recommend this birth control." | 10 | May 30, 2012 | 2 | 148 |

Doctor has me on 4 pumps but I just had my blood tested again yesterday so we'll see where I am and maybe adjust from there. It's amazing how well I feel in just this short period. Lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks and muscle tone is changing rapidly. It's almost like I'm looking at the world through "rose colored glasses"....everything just seems more like it should be to me. I REALLY hope this holds up as I've not felt better in a long time." | 9 | June 5, 2010 | 49 | 102 |
69,921 | Pyridostigmine | myasthenia gravis | "Mestinon helps everyone differently. I started out with ocular MG. Apparently, this drug helps most people with their ocular MG, but it doesn't do anything at all to improve my eye. My case of MG rapidly generalized, and difficulty breathing was my 2nd symptom to manifest. Mestinon improves my breathing issues somewhat, but doesn't take the shortness of breath away completely. Same with my arms and thighs; it helps, but doesn't make the weakness disappear altogether. Mestinon can cause diarrhea, but most likely won't if taken alongside a meal or with a small snack. It must be taken every 3-4 hours. Mestinon is one of the only drugs out there for MG with the least amount of unpleasant side effects." | 6 | March 31, 2010 | 86 | 120 |

214,027 | Tioconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "This was probably the worst medication ever!! The burning and iching was unbearable. Took the medicine and a few minutes later I thought my vagina was on fire! I had had a yeast infection before that and bought the cvs brand medicine and it was great.

I was Agoraphobic for 22 years before my doctor discovered Prozac helped with Panic attacks. I started it and in a week I was walking out of my house and greeting my neighbors! I started working and doing things I never dreamed I could do. Then in 2005 my insurance changed to another Pharmaceutical plan and you could take generics or pay full price for the brand name. Unfortunately the generic did not do the same thing as the brand. Prozac price has risen to $403.65 for 3 months and unfortunately I cannot afford this." | 10 | August 31, 2008 | 117 | 111 |

On the down side I am only 5ft tall I have always been athletic and have an athletic build. I started gaining weight a year into have this birth control(never gained weight on the pill)I workout 4x a week and eat very strict. Nothing sees to work. I have gained over 15lbs in the these last couple years. I have also experienced a sort of hair loss. I have curly thick hair and It falls out in chucks all day long.

I was in a very bad place for a couple of years and ended up taking it 9 times.. Yes, 9 times. I've taken it over 24 hours after inter course and I never became pregnant. Only about 4 of those times were accidents, the other 5 were stupidity. I would never recommend taking plan b ever, especially not that many times. It caused me horrible hormonal imbalances for a long time and I was in a lot of pain. Statistics say that out of those times I should have become pregnant at least once, but I didn't somehow by the grace of God. It works!" | 10 | September 17, 2015 | 13 | 125 |

I've been on like 4-5 other types but this one has been the best so far from my experience. The only downside was gaining 5 pounds, but it wasn't noticeable at all.

I had been taking indocin , Colcrys, and Vicodin. The indocin seems to work on very mild attacks, if I take it right away. However, this latest attack turned into an acute one. I had a dorsal pack of methprednasone in my medicine chest, that I was saving. This was a good test proving that , for me, the steroid , prednisone, was the operative drug. In the dorsal pack, you start off with two 4 mil. Pills. Within 2 hours signification pain loss. By the end of the day, the word miracle was appropriate. This is the start of my 3rd day and it looks like it's almost completely gone!! Thank you God for this medication." | 10 | April 27, 2016 | 35 | 140 |

I have been on Topamax for over a year now and went from 4 or 5 migraines a month to one every couple of months. I am currently taking 200mg/day (100mg in the morning and evening).

Negatively, I noticed he became quite more hyperactive than usual. This medicine will generally make children too sleepy, which is the main reason why they stop it, but in a normally hyperactive child it appears to do the opposite." | 8 | November 16, 2009 | 20 | 59 |

I started on the tri-cyclen, then switched to just cyclen in order to skip painful periods.
I gained 50-60 lbs in the year and a half that I was on this medication, had trouble with my contacts, pms-like mood swings, continued to have my periods, etc. Before I changed medication, I was feeling a sensation I could only describe as feeling like I had died and was still acting alive. I did not attribute any of these side effects until after I switched bc's and immediately saw improvement. This was the wrong pill for me, but not prego." | 4 | November 13, 2016 | 6 | 130 |

I went off 5 weeks ago because I was feeling so well after taking it for several years and I just had to go back on 4 days ago. This medicine works very quickly. I could barely get out of bed on Friday and I was back to work Monday, functioning and feeling much better. Pristiq does not take my anxiety away 100% all the time but it keeps me functioning.

94,838 | Abilify | bipolar disorde | "I would hide at home for months, shaking when a telephone rang. I couldn't let people go and had obsessive thoughts. Abilify gave me calm, confidence and hope. It made me less sensitive to light and time, I was no longer at the mercy of each passing moment. I woke up relaxed, went to bed without a noise in my head, inner voices stopped criticizing me, thoughts didn't race. I was creative but focused, and began wonderful new projects. Had NO side effects- NO weight gain. 'Worked magic that first day. But after a month it seemed to do nothing but make me sad. Evidently that was a manic phase. It blocks my mania, but not my depressive switch. Feels like I've traded manic depression for unipolar depression. I am being switched to lithium." | 6 | April 5, 2013 | 40 | 134 |
193,105 | Dextroamphetamine | adhd | "Dexedrine is okay! When I first took it I was excited and hoped to feel something. I was instantly in a good mood, more focused, and patient. However the come down off this drug is horrible. The depression and sadness start to come back and it's just discouraging that only a medication can band-aid those emotions. I have have felt overstimulated as well. I had a gastric bypass four years ago so my doc said no
XR but he put me on four 10mg a day which I feel is too much. I become agitated, irritable, paranoid, panicky, crying, etc. I decreased it to two a day. I feel that this might be too strong of a stimulant for me. I want to try Adderall since it's cheaper on my insurance and it has less dex. We'll see what he says at my next visit." | 5 | March 25, 2016 | 8 | 145 |

173,031 | Clonazepam | night terrors | "Night Terrors have haunted me for the last several years on and off. My night terrors became something that occurred nightly and even if I napped. My family struggled to help me and I had no idea there was help for this. My family doc put me on Clonazepam for anxiety 0.5 at bedtime and I discover my night terrors are no longer there! I am free of night terrors!
