78,741 | OnabotulinumtoxinA | migraine prevention | "I had my third set of Botox 3 weeks ago. It has done wonders to my severe neuralgia and Paroxysmal hemicrania.
I had some side effects the first two sets (3 months apart) but they went away after about 10-12 days and I have been 90% pain free. I was getting up to 9-12 attacks a day lasting about an hour each, and lost my job as a result.
This last set has produced terrible side effects: Headaches on forehead (Banding), severe shoulder pain, very puffy right eye, chronic skin rash on my back, occipital area of neck, and upper arms. Large red welts that burn and itch. It has now been prevailing for over a week....
I also have inflamed intercostal muscles especially around my sternum and it id incredibly painful." | 8 | November 23, 2016 | 13 | 132 |
45,371 | Fluoxetine | major depressive disorde | "Today is my 7th day on generic fluoxetine for Major Depressive Disorder (of the apathetic type) most likely due to high stress. Last night I had odd thoughts. I couldn't finish a sentence in my head. I would consider it flight of ideas. Then I wake up this morning feeling refreshed even though I'm still not sleeping well. I got right to doing stuff. I can't stop doing stuff. I'm a bit shaky, but I thinks that's because I'm not eating much today. I don't have much of an appetite. Normally at this time I'd feel starving if I hadn't eaten since breakfast. The only unfortunate thing is although I'm getting stuff done, I can't focus on one thing for a long period. I'm trying to read but I read a couple paragraphs and then rearrange the fridge." | 7 | September 29, 2015 | 10 | 138 |
176,216 | Lorazepam | anxiety | "Very effective but coming off is not fun. I wouldn't take it unless you have to I have severe anxiety and mild OCD and I'm choosing just not to take it. Side effects are real with this medicine. You'll be calm but at a price." | 7 | March 1, 2017 | 11 | 45 |
228 | Medroxyprogesterone | abnormal uterine bleeding | "Warning Unless do you want your life turned completely upside down do not take this form of birth control. I have been bleeding for 8 months now. Constant bleeding no breaks in between whatsoever. Do not believe when the doctor tells you after your second or third shot it'll stop. It won't. I've had more than numerous tests done everything's normal. I've been to a specialist twice. Everyone saids your body has to go back to normal on its own which could take up to a year or two. At this point I'm begging them to give me a hysterectomy. I'm only 32 they won't. I've passed out twice already due to low iron because of blood loss. Had a blood transfusion once because the blood loss. Please explore your other options first." | 1 | June 25, 2015 | 26 | 133 |
199,127 | Depo-Provera | birth control | "I am now part way through my 3rd shot of this injection. I'm 18 and have had pretty much constant bleeding for the past 9 months, with only a few weeks of no bleeding! I feel shattered constantly and have no energy! The main way that it's protected me from pregnancy is that I haven't been able to even have sex due to constant bleeding! This experience has been a nightmare for me, it's been painful and I've felt rough and low the whole time! I wouldn't recommend this at all as any side effects last for the 3 months that it stays in your system!" | 1 | December 19, 2015 | 4 | 106 |
151,701 | Chantix | smoking cessation | "It worked amazing. I smoked over a pack a day. I've been smoke free for over a year and half now. I highly recommend it to anyone. My blood pressure has lowered and as well as cholesterol. My teeth are amazing and gums have actually regenerized themselves. Best decision I've ever done." | 10 | March 30, 2015 | 46 | 52 |
27,989 | Lexapro | generalized anxiety disorde | "Hi I started lexapro 20 mg around Dec 2015, for generalized anxiety. I was scared to take any prescribed drug due to me not wanting to get hooked on meds. My anxiety so bad that I was unable to function at all. I have two children and there was no other option for me but to try something. The first week I had insomnia, slight tremors. I would wake up every morning at 6am with it seemed to be a empty stomach. I went to the ER twice in the first week. I felt like there was no end. My husband thought it was all in my head. By week 2 every side effect started to decrease day by day. I was able to get out of bed and clean my house. I felt like I was not confined anymore. Week 4 brand new me. Try this med, it saved me and could save you!!!" | 10 | April 22, 2016 | 78 | 155 |
78,321 | Tapentadol | pain | "I have been taking Nucynta for about three months and take only 2 x 50 mg tablets per day. At first it worked very well with no side effects, except I felt euphoric and a bit sleepy. Therefore, I only took Nucynta at night. But now in the mornings I notice that I wake up very depressed and unable to handle the day. I do find that 1 plus hours of morning exercise helps me get over these feelings. I believe I need to ween myself off of this medicine." | 2 | May 22, 2011 | 15 | 90 |
36,717 | Meperidine | pain | "Fractured my 61 year old hip in January 2017. I have been using Fentanyl patches for 2 years, 100mcg and Percocet for breakthrough. These are meds for some painful back, neck and nerve conditions. Also get accupuncture treatments.
I knew about demeral after breaking multiple bones in a car accident in 1982. In the hospital the nurse came regularly with an injection. Upon release I received long and short acting meds one being demeral.
Since that time I've required pain medication, the most recent the fractured hip which required surgery. The hospital gave me a demeral injection only one time, after surgery to get me to my room. It's the only 40 mins I wasn't in strong pain. It's beyond my understanding why demeral is withheld." | 10 | October 13, 2017 | 0 | 126 |
51,449 | Azithromycin | bronchitis | "I was given 2 tablets the first day followed by 1 tablet for the next four days. I was coughing so hard I could not get out of bed. The only thing it did for me, now on day 10, is it eased up the cough so that I did not lose my breath and vomit phlegm but I just called the doctor again today because I am still coughing up very thick Phlegm. It helped but it did not work that great at all. Now the Doctor is calling in Tessalon pearls. We will see if that works." | 3 | October 18, 2010 | 24 | 99 |
30,123 | Klonopin | anxiety | "I have social anxiety & take this medication on an as needed basis. I have noticed a huge change in myself once I got the dosage right. I wouldn't be able to function in social situations without it." | 10 | October 20, 2014 | 109 | 38 |
41,513 | Sofosbuvir | hepatitis c | "I have four days left of treatment, which has been for six months. The side effects have been mental for me. Anxiety, depression, insomnia, mood swings, irritability and rage all come and go randomly. The virus was undetected at four weeks and this is my first treatment. I won't know until three months post treatment if the virus will stay gone, but it's gone right now. I am genotype 3A." | 10 | July 22, 2015 | 21 | 70 |
39,617 | Contrave | obesity | "I've been on this medication for about a week now today is the first day I will be taking the one pill in the morning and one pill in the evening. So far I haven't noticed any severe side effects. A little constipation but so far so good. I've lost about 2 lbs this week. I have noticed an increase in my energy level it seems as though I've gotten a boost still to early for me to really tell how this medication is going to do for me but I'll keep posting as I go along! I had lost 70 lbs in my own starting at 324lbs I've been plateaued and hoping this medication helps me to continue my journey. Good luck everyone I'll keep you posted!!" | 5 | March 22, 2016 | 18 | 128 |
145,109 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I have had only good expiriences with this birth control. I've had the implant for almost two years and I haven't had a period yet. Some times I get some spotting and its usually old blood but only for maybe 2 days. I have had NO weight gain, as that seems to be a issue with some people. It's awesome. Not one issue. I'm 20 years old." | 10 | November 5, 2015 | 4 | 67 |
170,743 | Quetiapine | depression | "After taking Seroquel for 5 months at 25 mg, I recently upped it to 50 mg at night-time. This has resulted in me being able to drop my Ativian from 2 mg to 1 mg and still get a great sleep. I am much more productive, think clearly and feel positive. I feel like my personality is coming back. Coincidence? I think not." | 8 | May 30, 2013 | 116 | 63 |
126,732 | Dilaudid | pain | "Best medicine for kidney stones. I used to pass 2 a month and this was the only pain medicine that worked. Morphine to me was like taking aspirin. But this medication did the trick knocking the pain out by 80%." | 10 | February 10, 2011 | 9 | 40 |
14,351 | Testim | hypogonadism, male | "Started using this less than a week ago. I've done test inj in the past and worked out and got dramatic results. Now that I'm older (48), my test is low, 208, my Dr prescribed Androgel, but insurance only covers Testim. Personally, I think it smells like Lysol. I am feeling better but hate the application process and the stickiness off my skin afterward. If my levels don't bump up on my next round of blood tests, I'm going to go to a urologist and see about getting the pellets put in." | 5 | April 10, 2016 | 5 | 92 |
98,931 | Lutera | birth control | "I started taking Lutera in late 2012 early 2013. As much as I can remember the only side effect I had in the beginning were cramps. Horrible cramps. Only for two periods. First one I was hunched over crying. Second one was the same but the cramps would come and go in waves. I left work early because I was in tears and hunched over again. I got home and felt the urge to push. So I went to the bathroom and pushed out this clot the size of my palm. Not even joking. Omg I thought I was dying. After that second time I never had cramps like that again. Over the years my sex drive went down & spotted between periods. So my dr had me switch. Overall. I love Lutera and would definitely use it again if given the chance." | 9 | April 20, 2017 | 5 | 143 |
89,541 | Celexa | depression | "I have been on 40mg Celexa for well over a year. I was put on it after my depression didn't respond to Prozac. It made me tired for the first few weeks and whenever my doctor increased the dose, but that subsides. It does not help much for anxiety for me, but greatly improves my depression." | 7 | April 13, 2012 | 10 | 56 |
109,136 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I can't tell you how great this has been for me. Slight disruption in my period but nothing serious. Since that though I haven't had my period in 8 months. June was the last time. March now. No mood swings. SO MUCH BETTER than traditional birth control. Used to be on tri sprintec and cried all the time for no reason. I love nexplanon. Will take it out when having a kid next year sometime, but going back in right after. Oh, not painful either. Kinda uncomfortable cause you need to keep it under wraps for a day or two after getting it, but honestly so worth it. Sounds like I was paid to say this lol. Really, I know everyone is different, but for me this was a god send. Hope your experience is as good as mine." | 10 | March 30, 2017 | 1 | 139 |
9,128 | Cefuroxime | pneumonia | "I was prescribed this after 3 days on a Azithromycin was making me worse. My doctor told me the Z-pack wasn't working because my bronchitis had become pneumonia. After 2 days on the Ceftin (250 mg, twice daily), I was really starting to improve. My cough had lessened, chest congestion had loosened nicely and my headache/stuffiness had started to subside. I also used a humidifier.
Now, 4 days in and I'm feeling almost human. The cough is almost gone, I can breathe almost normally and am much improved. I have always heard the Z-pack knocks out almost everything, but I'm proof it's not a cure-all.
One thing to note is that Ceftin can be rough on your stomach, so be sure to take it with food. Crackers, toast or yogurt should be fine." | 10 | January 2, 2012 | 67 | 133 |
71,795 | Tramadol | chronic pain | "Tramadol is my miracle drug! 50mg 4-6 times a day but usually only need about 3 for my chronic pain. It doesn't keep me up at night like other opiates (i've tried many others) but what I love most about Tram's is that they aren't as addicting as the other opiate pain meds on the market! Take 1 tramadol and the pain goes away! Not to mention it puts me in a great mood- not like a "high" or euphoria but almost like what an antidepressant should do- or a mood enhancer. I don't find it addicting as it is extremely mild, but it definitely gets the job done. I've been on it for months and i'm so glad I asked my dr to switch me from Oxycodone to these. Tramadol also helps with my anxiety too! Only downside is that they give me headaches sometimes." | 10 | September 15, 2016 | 38 | 146 |
86,606 | Invokana | diabetes, type 2 | "I've been taking Invokana for 6 months, in addition to Metformin and Januvia. It did help me a little losing weight, but it definitely did help my daily blood sugar levels from 250 to 125 or less in the morning. I think it is really good and I'm glad my doctor prescribed it to me." | 9 | August 17, 2014 | 88 | 55 |
41,002 | Acetaminophen / oxycodone | chronic pain | "I fell on ice in 2009 and ended up with a ruptured disc in my lower back. I also suffer from a variety of back problems, stenosis, bone spurs and facet disease to name a few...the Percocets 7.5/325 are a big help in managing my pain, if I did not have them, I absolutely would not be able to function, let alone be able to go to work. It does take the edge off my pain. I have to take the Percocets along with muscle relaxers, and anti-inflammatory medicine to get through my days (and nights) but I have to do what I have to do to manage the pain." | 10 | October 26, 2014 | 51 | 110 |
88,384 | Adderall | adhd | "I was prescribed Adderall XR 15mg six months ago after trying Focalin XR and not liking it because of severe stomach pains it would give me. Before trying the Adderall and Focalin I was diagnosed with ADHD because I brought it to my doctors attention. I had always had a problem in high school and even middle school with getting good grades, everyone thought I was lazy. In college the situation was getting worse, and I started to get depressed about my bad grades. I then realized my depression was stemming from my inability to concentrate on school work. It's been six months since I've been on the Adderall XR, and my grades have shot up! I get A's and B's in all my classes and am so much more organized which helps with everything in my life." | 8 | February 14, 2012 | 11 | 138 |
17,960 | Ethinyl estradiol / etonogestrel | birth control | "I have been on birth control for 10 years, 5 on the Patch then 5 on NuvaRing. I love the Ring, but I did get side effects like sore breasts and low sex drive, which I think goes with any hormone birth control. My skin cleared up and no babies so it was great, and really easy. I stopped when it started giving me either a yeast or bacterial vaginosis infection every month around the same time in my cycle. I would take it out and wash it to help prevent. It is down on the list of side effects, but I haven't found anything with LESS side effects so I'm going to go back on it again." | 8 | November 17, 2012 | 6 | 118 |
228,261 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I've had the Implanon for about 6 months now. The insertion hurt a little bit but it was definitely worth it - the next 3 years of worry free birth control. I absolutely LOVE not getting a period anymore and I truly trust this method enough to not need the reassurance of a period. The ONLY things I do not like about Implanon are the mood swings and weight fluctuation (about 5 lbs more or less). People close to me have really noticed a change in my irritability. I wouldn't consider myself a extremely bad by any means, it is tolerable, I just demand a lot more alone time than I used to. I would recommend this birth control to anyone." | 10 | June 3, 2009 | 42 | 121 |
57,969 | Acetaminophen / hydrocodone | pain | "I started this medication when I had my right hip replaced. 4 months later I had my left hip replaced. My doctor told me to take it as directed. Apparently, it not only relieves pain, but also prevents pain. He said that once I experience pain, it helps to relieve it, but if I take it before I feel pain (we knew I'd experience pain right after surgery) it would prevent it. I found this advise to be right on the mark. At first, I thought I could live without narcotic pain relievers, but it really worked to prevent the pain. Once you feel the pain, you're just trying to catch up." | 10 | August 3, 2011 | 25 | 112 |
7,445 | Xanax | panic disorde | "Panic disorder is no fun. You feel like you have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, and that you are coming to an end! Xanax has helped me against this terrible nervousness, demonic, feeling. I only take it when I truly need it. I take the lowest dose possible 0.25. The thing about this drug is that it makes you feel so relaxed. So people keep taking it, to keep feeling good and that's when it backfires. Please only take it as needed. Don't take it if your not feeling panic at the moment. You have to respect this drug. And taking it when u don't feel panic is not the way to go. Trust me! Prayer and a lil help from xanax can make all the difference in the world!!" | 10 | August 11, 2017 | 35 | 132 |
107,809 | Implanon | birth control | "I got the Implanon in May 2008. I was told I would have irregular bleeding for the first 6 months then it would stop. It's been 14 months and I have had my period ever since I got it put in. I've been very patient since my doctor kept saying just wait another month and maybe it'll die down. My mood swings are off the charts, I find myself always being angry and depressed. It's so annoying to always have a tampon on and I can't even mention how that affects my relationship with my husband. Also have horrible acne. The only positive things I can say from the Implanon is that you don't have to remember to take the pill, and I didn't gain any weight from it. I made an appointment to get it removed tomorrow, I can't take it anymore." | 2 | July 12, 2009 | 6 | 143 |
226,793 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I have had the implanon for 5 years (2 different ones of course) and I have had no serious problems with it. The only thing that is annoying is when it takes 3 months for my period to come. I'm constantly anxiously waiting for my period to come so that I know I'm not pregnant. But I haven't gotten pregnant yet being on it!" | 9 | March 3, 2015 | 0 | 64 |
85,422 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "I'm about 4 months in, the first month was pretty dreadful. I was sick all the time, even to the point were I was throwing up. After that however it became much more bearable. Acne has somewhat cleared up, but also put on like 10 pounds. Even with my active lifestyle. That might be because I'm reaching my 30s? I've lost some of my sex drive though which is a bit depressing. Cramps aren't as intense. Overall I'm pretty happy with it." | 8 | April 25, 2015 | 4 | 82 |
145,271 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "When I first had it inserted, I bled five months straight & was worried it wouldn't stop. The doctor had me take motrin twice daily for 10 days. Not sure if it was the solution, but it did stop. I have yet to have my period again since then. I had the insertion done 2 months post partum. However, I have gone from 142lbs & losing weight fast, to 178lbs & my milk dried up after insertion. I have had no diet changes, I workout 1 day less than normal. I have severe migraines, morning sickness every now & again, & am now getting rashes on the arm that it is inserted in. I have involuntary muscle spasms and jerking of body. Showing allergy symptoms to hormone, will be getting it removed. Good BC for nonsensitives." | 6 | September 26, 2015 | 6 | 136 |
18,554 | Bactroban | skin and structure infection | "This medication is a miracle drug. My 4yr old daughter had a rash that nothing could cure then 2 days after using this cream, I saw an amazing difference. She has extremely dry skin in the winter which she scratches to the point of bleeding sometimes, but not anymore. At the first sign of dry/irritated skin, I apply this cream and it works like magic. Also used it on a rash I developed on my legs and the same thing. The itching stops almost immediately. This cream is a staple in our medicine cabinet." | 10 | March 25, 2010 | 56 | 94 |
94,591 | Abilify | depression | "I was feeling like I was in a hole and couldn't get out of it. Nothing was working. I am now on lamictal and abilify and within a week I was feeling better. I take them both at night I don't know if that makes a difference, but I always wake up early with lots of ENERGY and ready to do whatever. Which before all I could do was lay in bed. I hope I don't gain any weight, I haven't yet and haven't experienced any over eating and I'm on 10mg abilify and 200mg of lamictal. So they have both worked wonders for my depression. With no side effects that I can see yet." | 10 | December 13, 2015 | 100 | 115 |
26,357 | Sprintec | birth control | "I have had the absolute worst symptoms on this pill. Before starting birth control, my periods were extremely regular, and I only ever cramped the day before starting my period and the day of. Now, I have about two periods a month, and my breasts are EXTREMELY PAINFUL AND SWOLLEN. I've been sticking it out, because I've read everywhere that it usually subsides within three months, but I've been on the pill for almost five months and my breast tenderness and swelling has not subsided. I can't even sleep on my stomach anymore. I have also gained weight on this pill (I am ALWAYS hungry), have constant cramps and back pain, and I started getting huge pimples (have never had acne before starting the pill). I am about to change to something else." | 2 | October 7, 2015 | 4 | 133 |
84,318 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "Please move on to another birth control. I have been on this for 2 weeks and I started my period. It has been this worst experience of my life. I'm going thro a box of super plus tampons a day (I'm not a heavy bleeder) I am questioning my sanity. I honestly feel like crawling in a hole and dying. The first 3 days of this period I did not get out of bed. Then I had to work, and I'm in so much pain. My boyfriend thinks I'm crazy. Just don't even try this pill. I promise, it's not worth it." | 1 | January 5, 2017 | 3 | 102 |
125,012 | Dulcolax | constipation | "I suffer from IBS and haven't gone to the toilet properly in 9 days. I have taken Dulcolax before so I know the pains can be intense but somehow when time passes and you haven't taken them in a while you think I'll give them another go but NEVER again! I took 2 tablets around 6pm. It is now 22.40 and I'm in agony I mean severe stomach cramps and not even any BM what a waste of time and the pain is just so bad! Please be very careful when taking these and would advise if you suffer from severe constipation take a some thing else and drink plenty of water. I can't even go to bed as the pain is too intense. Please avoid!" | 1 | September 17, 2017 | 12 | 126 |
81,905 | Liraglutide | obesity | "I have started Saxenta this morning ( stated with 0.6 to go up to 1.8, will increase every 4th day as the Dr prescribe).
I was told to expect nausea but been 4 hrs and other then being thirsty nothing at all.
The DR place me on the Saxenta as 7 years ago I was taking antidepressants and the weight just piled on and could not loose it and start having lots of other health issues.
I hope this will help me loose the weight and get my health back to normal and start exercising again.
By the way the DR place me on the Saxenta 1.8 and Optifast for the first month, been advice to drink a minimum of 3 Lt of water. Will update as I go ....in a month" | 1 | November 20, 2016 | 11 | 132 |
55,029 | Bupropion / naltrexone | weight loss | "Horrible. Took one pill as directed on first morning. Within an hour, increased heart rate, pupils dilated, uncontrollable diarrhea. Had to leave work, even felt like I had the flu. I only need to lose about 15 lbs. my doctor should have never prescribed this drug for me." | 1 | June 20, 2016 | 3 | 48 |
109,619 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I've had my implant for 2 years now. When I first got it, I was finishing out my menstrual cycle & asked the Heath care provider if it was going to be an issue. I was told that my cycle would be fine. I spotted on & off for 3mo. But after, I was having cycles regularly. Then, I was bleeding for a month straight. After that, I didn't get my next cycle for 4 months. During that time, I had switched jobs & was working around alot more females than originally. I've been an emotional wreck the entire time & have had terrible mood swings. It's effective with not getting pregnant, but it takes an emotionally strong person to deal with the side effects of it. Wouldn't recommend for everyone, but it is good for a changing schedule everyday." | 10 | September 17, 2016 | 5 | 140 |
177,195 | Duloxetine | ibromyalgia | "I have taken this medication for about 2 years now and it has helped me tremendously. Yes the first two weeks were hard due to nausea and diarrhea however because it controlled the pain I stayed with it. I weaned myself off at one point to make sure whether or not I still needed it but within a week of being completely off of it all the pain and muscle weakness came back so I went back on it (no side effects this time) and the pain went away so it works for me. However the Dr. said that I was his only patient who had the amount of relief I experienced with the lowest dose. I also have Lupus (SLE) so it helps with the joint and muscle pain there too!! I say give it a try as I experienced the pain relief almost immediate" | 10 | November 1, 2017 | 15 | 146 |
179,362 | Olanzapine | insomnia | "This medicine is a God send. I've tried every sleeping pill in the book (Ambien, Trazodone, Seroquel, Elavil, ETC.) None of them would keep me asleep the whole night. 10mg of this and I sleep like a baby and don't have the racing thoughts. Only problem is it's real hard to get out of bed and get moving." | 9 | March 27, 2015 | 62 | 58 |
153,945 | Vivitrol | opiate dependence | "I was a heroin addict for four years. I went through inpatient rehab twice and outpatient once. My family was at the end of their rope. In a final "Hail Mary," my parents decided to give Vivitrol a try (in conjunction with group and individual therapy sessions). I have been clean from all opiates for 18 months now. The turn around I've made in my life is remarkable. Medication used to treat addiction is tricky, because it will not work unless the patient truly wants to get clean. Nothing will stop an addict who wants to use from using. The only side effects I've experienced have been mild sleep disruption, but I am glad to be awake and sober rather than sound asleep and an addict." | 9 | June 17, 2014 | 157 | 126 |
143,697 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I've had this in for a little over a year and it took away the cramps but I still get back aches. Now period in stead of lasting 3 days, I know get it for 20-25 days with only 2 weeks in between each cycle." | 2 | November 20, 2016 | 7 | 45 |
225,490 | Bupropion | depression | "I've never felt compelled to write a review for a medication before, but Wellbutrin XL saved my life. I suffered from chronic depression for years before I started taking Wellbutrin and within weeks it was as if the rain stopped and there's nothing but clear blue skies and sunshine since. Seriously. I cannot say enough good things about this medicine. The great thing about Wellbutrin (I take 150 MG) is that it doesn't make you feel zombie-like at all. I feel like a brighter, happier version of myself.
I also take 150 MG of Lamictal, which has also significantly helped as well. I highly recommend these medications to anyone suffering from bipolar depression. They have done wonders." | 10 | June 1, 2014 | 123 | 117 |
89,318 | Celexa | depression | "I have been on Celexa for about two months now and the first two days I had insomnia really bad, but then it got better as time went on. My depression is somewhat balanced, but I do have continued anxiety and stress.
I went to my Doctor's today and had my weight checked and in less than a month I have gained 12 lbs; I was shocked! I was told it could be from the Celexa, so now I'm slowly weaning myself off of that as I try my new medication; Wellbutrin. All in all, Celexa is good, and if it weren't for the weight gain I would have stayed on it. Everybody's body is different and it just wasn't the right medication for me." | 7 | October 7, 2015 | 31 | 125 |
121,575 | Venlafaxine | major depressive disorde | "It works wonderfully. I've tried many antidepressants and they all left me feeling, not sad. But I still felt lethargic and hopeless. Effexor gives me motivation and drive. Helps me get out of bed in the morning and off the couch during the day. And it started working within the first week. The ONLY drawback I've found is it really decreases my libido and you CANNOT miss a dose. It will really ruin your day." | 8 | April 24, 2015 | 27 | 75 |
215,000 | Fluoxetine / olanzapine | bipolar disorde | "I was diagnosed with bipolar I, four years ago. I have been on Symbyax for two years. This medicine is really awesome but after a while it loses effectiveness. Will see about increasing dosage." | 8 | June 3, 2010 | 21 | 34 |
71,041 | Rituximab | rheumatoid arthritis | "I have been in Rituxan for 10 years. Almost wheel chair bound at 35. I prayed it would work. And it had put me in remission. It saved my life! I will be on this for the rest of my life if possible. I pray insurance will keep paying." | 10 | December 15, 2014 | 89 | 49 |
17,512 | Ethinyl estradiol / etonogestrel | birth control | "I have been on it for 8 years after two years of taking the pill. Honestly the best thing ever! I've had no side effects or weight gain (a part from the natural small weight gain with age). I have recommended it to many people over the years and many friends who have now been on it for years as well." | 10 | October 25, 2017 | 1 | 61 |
99,902 | Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate | bowel preparation | "The worst part about this was the taste of the medicine itself- I thought it was awful. I only got through the two doses by having lemons on hand to suck on between sips. If you can get through that part, the rest is easy. For me it worked 15-20 mins after I finished taking each dose, and it wasn't nearly as unpleasant as I'd expected. Eat lightly in the days leading up to your prep and you should be fine. Looking forward to a cheeseburger or tacos or any kind of solid food after the procedure is done tomorrow! :)" | 9 | December 21, 2015 | 14 | 101 |
34,627 | Minocycline | acne | "I took mynocine on and off for a year. Amazing at clearing acne, once you stop your acne will come back for sure. SIDE effects that could last for ever. I have loud and i mean loud whooshing sound in my right ear its called pulsatile tinnitus caused by mynocicline been having it since i started the medication, been off the med for 4 months and till have it. Its horrible i cant even concentrate cuz its so loud. It gave me extreme anxiety to the point that i couldnt leave my house without xanax. Thank god the anxiety went away but the tinnitus has not. Whatever u do dont take it, i read allot of revews just like you to decide to take this med and even tho allot of people adviced not to i was do dedperate to clear my acne that i still did." | 10 | November 29, 2016 | 5 | 147 |
71,438 | Levora | birth control | "I have been taking Levora for the past 6 months or so. I LOVE IT. I have no severe side effects except tender breasts sometimes. Sex drive has also definitely increased. The only problem I have with Levora is that when its time to take the "reminder" pills it takes a few days to get my period....it always scares me....but so far, my period has always come. ALL IN ALL, I'M VERY HAPPY WITH LEVORA." | 10 | October 26, 2010 | 7 | 75 |
36,736 | Meperidine | pain | "I have arthritis and have tried many over the counter medicines as Aspirin, Motrin, etc. These medicines increased my diastolic blood pressure upwards of 30 points. (I already have high blood pressure). The doctor then tried Oxycodone and again my BP went significantly up. Hydrocodone had the same result. As a last resort for a pain med I was given Demerol (50MG). No increase in BP and no side effects. It takes upwards of two hours to kick in but does a good job of numbing pain. Apparently I am sensitive to all NSAIDS. (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications). " | 8 | March 27, 2013 | 73 | 98 |
230,165 | Pimozide | tourette's syndrome | "I was diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome when I was 11 years old. I had tried a couple of medications before this one that didn't help too much. Although this medication helped tremendously, the side effects were too much. My appetite greatly increased on top of gaining weight from the medication itself. I had no energy and had gained 100 pounds within a year. I am now 25 years old and this medication changed my relationship with food. I recently had bypass surgery due to overeating throughout my life as well as an inability to lose enough weight trying methods like healthy diet and exercise. Although this medication is helpful treating the tics, please use with caution." | 5 | May 8, 2015 | 6 | 116 |
40,818 | Leuprolide | prostate cance | "I had prostate cancer that had metastasized and was given the 3 month leuprolide shot along with casode; within 24-48 hours had horrible side affects, memory loss, couldn't walk or even stand up, dizziness, weakness. 3 days later I was taken to ER and had blood clots in my lung. I do not recommend the leuprolide and casadex combination. Not sure which one is worse but would give it a -1 rating if available." | 1 | January 23, 2016 | 5 | 74 |
99,435 | Genvoya | hiv infection | "Switched to Genvoya from eviplera. Wish i had of switched a lot sooner. Its only been a week but i feel and look so much better. More energy and less tired looking. Very happy." | 9 | August 22, 2016 | 11 | 34 |
197,202 | Paroxetine | anxiety | "Well, the first time I had a major attack they put me on xanax but it messed with my head really badly and I had memory issues. My discharge papers noted that while medicated by it I had little to no acknowledgement of externally inflicted bodily harm/pain. What I do remember is waking up the next day with a swollen ankle and multiple bruises that hurry like hell from walking into things or just letting the car door close on me.
Later, someone recommended me this treatment, and I%u2019m very grateful with it, i can go anywhere i want without problem, no anxiety, no panic attacks, I'm a new person." | 5 | November 12, 2013 | 45 | 110 |
69,604 | Buprenorphine | chronic pain | "No more daily ups and downs. My pain is covered for a week at a time with minimal cognitive deficits. It may not make all of the pain go away, but it definitely changed my life. " | 10 | November 16, 2012 | 50 | 37 |
47,223 | Thyroid desiccated | hypothyroidism, after thyroid removal | "I had my thyroid out in 2000 and it is now 2008. When I first had my thyroid out, my doctor put me on Synthyroid and would just look at the total TSH. Then I switched Dr.'s because I felt horrible and put on so much weight to find out my T3 and Free T3 were very low. It was possible my body was having a tough time converting T4 to T3 and the doctor switched me to Armour Thyroid and it was a life saver." | 9 | September 16, 2008 | 8 | 86 |
166,012 | Levonorgestrel | emergency contraception | "Took My Way 6 hours after having unprotected sex. He actually came inside me with no condom on. My period was 5 days late. No pain before period came or after taking the pill. Cramps are more intense than usual during period but other than that, no side effects. This pill works." | 9 | February 12, 2017 | 5 | 52 |
89,428 | Celexa | depression | "I started taking Celexa because I told my doctor my mood swings were crazy. It was depression. Well it helped big time! I've been on it for over a year 10mg but sometimes I take 20mg. I am starting to feel more sad now though but its my living situation that is making me sad. Celexa is a great medicine although I never thought I would take anti-depressants. Anyhow I was super skinny, it helped me gain weight and keep it on. So yes you will gain weight on it but other then that it has worked for me until now. Now I don't feel happy but I did when I started taking it." | 9 | October 12, 2013 | 41 | 114 |
138,242 | Orthovisc | osteoarthritis | "I've been getting Orthovisc injections for 12 years, I'm 52, just had first of 3 again this am. Makes big difference for me, and has. Tried another brand, 3 shots in one, yikes and didn't last. Yes the 3rd shot more painful, and yes feels a bit wobbly at first after each injection but gone within a day. Still snowboarding, hiking, paddle boarding, wakesurfing more than wakeboarding (that is impact). Thank you for orthovisc. PS side note, have a reputable orthopedic with great PA's who mostly do the injections. It can go crazy painful bad with that long needle." | 10 | August 4, 2017 | 8 | 99 |
150,095 | Denavir | cold sores | "I too can attest the same thing every one has said. It is the best cold sore medicine on the market. It will cut the outbreak time to a few days, opposed to the 2-3 weeks. Unfortunately, I was blown away this week at the retail cost of this prescription. I have been using this medication for over 15 years and my insurance has always covered it. The most being $40 for the small tube. Now, my new insurance does not cover it, and I found the price at the pharmacy is charging is $795. I cannot pay this price and the coupon on the internet only offers up to $45. I feel screwed/gauged by this pharmaceutical company (New American Therapeutic) who purchased the rights to this medication in 2010 by Norvatis. No generic is available." | 10 | October 17, 2015 | 17 | 136 |
203,959 | Suvorexant | insomnia | "I've always had trouble falling asleep and making my brain "turn off" even if I am exhausted. I have used lots of OTC sleep medicines but they just weren't cutting it anymore with some added stress in my life currently. Finally broke down and went to doctor for sleeping pills. Was a little scared at first because even without any sleep aids when I do sleep I have been known to sleep walk/talk in sleep/etc. Normally hard for me to fall asleep but once I'm out I am out cold and don't wake up. Anyway. No need in worrying about the side effects for me because I did not get a wink of sleep the first night I took it. Tonight is night #2 and I took it at 9:30. It is now 1 am and still here wide awake. Useless." | 1 | August 27, 2015 | 21 | 141 |
111,058 | Verapamil | cluster headaches | "Suffered for 4 years in a row from a very strong cluster headache, the doctors prescribed all sorts of medications, from migraine medications to steroids based medications, until I met a brilliant neurologist, who successfully diagnosed my case as Cluster Headache, and after 2 month using Verapamil the headache disappeared for 3 consecutive years, I still suffer from mild attacks every now and then, but it is not comparable in intensity and frequency with my previous state, in brief, Verapamil is magical in healing cluster headache," | 10 | May 12, 2016 | 29 | 86 |
61,359 | Citalopram | generalized anxiety disorde | "I spent a lot of my life struggling with generalized anxiety disorder. After suffering what I think was an un diagnosed breakdown my doctor changed me from Amitriptyline (very low dose) to Citalopram. Life has not got easier it is in fact the hardest it has ever been. I am divorced, out of work and struggling financially. However the Citalopram has relieved my anxiety and depression and made me happy for being alive. The only downfall is that I sometimes wonder if the lack of anxiety is the reason why I am not achieving financial freedom at the moment and that the Citalopram is causing complacency and making me too choosy, Perhaps however it feels so good not to have a dark heavy cloud over my head which was a constant source of mental pain" | 10 | September 7, 2017 | 23 | 135 |
600 | Medroxyprogesterone | renal cell carcinoma | "I was diagnosed with Polycystic ovarian syndrome after thinking I was pregnant, because I hadn't had a cycle in 4 months. My ob ran tests and found I had a hormonal disorder PCOS and to force a period prescribed me Provera once a month for 10 days. It made me have all the regular PMS symptoms, but I also have experienced prolonged, heavy flow." | 7 | May 30, 2012 | 14 | 64 |
134,565 | Ketorolac | pain | "Had severe abdominal pain, Doc gave me shot of toradol and said I needed to get to motel because I would be going to sleep. Only reduced pain 50% and suffered for 4 more hours and then taking hydrocodone to finally get to sleep" | 5 | January 28, 2016 | 1 | 44 |
27,795 | Lexapro | generalized anxiety disorde | "I'm a 47 years old man that had NEVER ever in my life had taken an anti depressent. I have always had anxiety and would take xanax as needed .25mg. First few weeks of February I had a lot of negative things happen in my life and my anxiety went through the roof and I was borderline depressed. My Dr Perscribed me Lexapro 10mg. THAT WAS THE WORST 8 DAYS OF MY LIFE. I got upset stomach. And in the first 3 days I started talking to myself and had suicidal thoughts and aggression. I was absolutely scared out of my mind. My anxiety worsened to the point where I couldn't sleep for 3 days. I was literally dying inside. So my Dr stopped it. Then withdrawal set in. 5 days later I'm coming out of it. I'm on seroquel now. MUCH BETTER. Actually helps the anxiety." | 1 | February 27, 2017 | 17 | 147 |
73,118 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "I've been using this birth control for nearly two years now and I really like it! The first month was full of painfully swollen breasts and a lot of emotions (suddenly crying while eating??), but after that short period I haven't had any other side effects! My periods are short and often skipped. This is certainly the best solution that I've tried!" | 9 | January 6, 2015 | 18 | 62 |
4,244 | Erbitux | colorectal cance | "Was also diagnosed with stage four colon cancer that had spread to my liver, was on heavy cancer meds for about 10 months and then they switched me to Erbitux which showed definite improvements. Do have the dry scaly face am using Queen Helene cocoa butter but not really pleased with it, skin still dry." | 8 | September 19, 2013 | 7 | 55 |
98,846 | Microgestin 1 / 20 | birth control | "I've been taking microgestin fe for 3 months now. The first two there were no really bad side effects except some acne and heavy flow with nasty cramps that I was assured would go away by month three....ABSOLUTELY NOT. Month three has been the worst.....I break out all the time when I never used to get pimples, I feel nauseous and pukey all day every day, no food sounds or tastes good, I have back pain and lower abdominal pain, I'm bloated and swollen, and I've gained almost 8 pounds!!! This is absolutely miserable" | 2 | December 23, 2015 | 3 | 94 |
123,565 | Skyla | birth control | "I have never felt a pain like I did upon the Skyla insertion. It was a 3-step process, and the second step was the most painful. They say it is different for everyone, apparently my pain threshold is much lower than other women. This sharp pain and cramping cause immediate tears and a small yelp. Immediately after, I became very pale and lightheaded and had to use the restroom. I could hardly sit up in the bathroom because I was so lightheaded and nausea caused me to vomit. I was so weak and honestly wanted to just lie on the floor because I began to sweat. After about 30 minutes, I was able to stand up and drive home. The cramps and nausea remained very severe until the next morning. Ibuprofen and heating pads helped me sleep that night." | 10 | May 9, 2017 | 3 | 139 |
62,159 | Citalopram | depression | "Been depressed since 13 years old. Didn't take an antidepressant until late 50's. Resisted, tried everything else. Still have to do work, like therapy, exercise, diet, rest, mental care, but this is like a Miracle for me. Never even knew how depressed I was before. Now I am only anxious. Ha ha. Have to work on that, but it is much better to be anxious than, anxious and depressed." | 10 | March 25, 2014 | 29 | 69 |
23,410 | Methadone | opiate withdrawal | "Methadone/Methadose saved my life. I was taking 3-6 Oxycontin a day intravenously. Ever since I went to the clinic and started taking methadone/dose I no longer have cravings, or symptoms of withdrawal. I can finally live again, and not hurt the ones I love." | 10 | November 5, 2009 | 78 | 44 |
52,069 | Adipex-P | weight loss | "I love this pill I take a whole pill every morning. I have lots of energy! I started 3 days ago and I have lost 7 pounds since then. It curves my appetite all day until about 5:00pm then I normally eat a piece of grilled chicken and drink water! But I would definitely say that you need to work out along with it because I think that's how mine is dropping so fast! My doctor told me that if he doesn't think a patient is losing what they should, he stops prescribing it." | 10 | March 15, 2014 | 90 | 94 |
26,166 | Sprintec | birth control | "I've been on this pill for almost 2 years now and have had no issues with it really other the gaining 10 lbs and bloating every now and then. It's actually improved my mood, cleared my skin, and helped with my period flow and pain. You can miss your pill by a few hours too and catch up later without worry. It's a pretty effective pill." | 9 | May 2, 2017 | 6 | 66 |
209,771 | Lupron Depot | endometriosis | "Just finished three shots of Lupron Depot - shots were given in the hip - little to no pain at all. The worst side effect = hot flashes. They were unbearable really, was prescribed the lowest dosage of estrogen medicines for the hot flashes - working great. Doctor not giving any more shots of Lupron until we see how my body reacts to the medicines. I was just prescribed a progesterone as well to balance with the estrogen medicines-to take for a two week period." | 8 | June 23, 2011 | 15 | 85 |
108,711 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I’m not going to front for this birth control it was terrible. I got on it & didn’t bleed for that week. Next thing you know I start bleeding because of my period which is normally on for 3 days but was on for 7. Cramps were out of this world, never got cramps before the birth control. I was always crying and sad, also depressed. After my period stopped I continued spotting for over a month. That was long enough for me so I wanted to take it out. I had my mom buy me walnuts cause that’s what I was craving and I also heard that it makes bleeding stop. The next day the blood got lighter then it stopped. Now it’s just discharge. Less mood swings. I’m honestly satisfied with it now. Very effective by the way. Wouldn’t recommend as first choice." | 6 | November 9, 2017 | 1 | 145 |
69,966 | Efavirenz / emtricitabine / tenofovir | hiv infection | "I had full blown AIDS in 2004 with a count of 93 and viral load was enormous. I heard you can build a tolerance to Atripla in 3 or 4 years but I haven't. I've taken it for a decade now. No side effects at all. My count is at a steady 800 and I'm always undetectable. I never had any effects. When I first took it I felt a bit high. But I just took it before I went to bed. Now I can't even tell if I've taken it or not.
This is a guess and simply a personal observation of myself but I think it may cause a heightened sensitivity to wheat. I gained weight, cholesterol went up, triglycerides Sky rocketed about 5 years into it. I just stopped soy, wheat and dairy for three months and everything went back to normal. I have no clue if the medicine is it." | 10 | November 15, 2014 | 22 | 154 |
231,863 | Trazodone | insomnia | "I've been taking this for a year now. I am worried that the day I try going off this- I may have an issue. I'm in bed within 30 minutes of when I take this 99% of the time! I take 50mg a night. I've taken 100mg before, and unless you have 12 hours for sleep, I would not recommend it." | 10 | September 17, 2012 | 53 | 61 |
96,560 | Tindamax | giardiasis | "I was (incorrectly) diagnosed with giardia and took Tindamax. I had a horrible reaction with nausea and diarrhea. This went on and I ended up hospitalized for days. The bad taste in your mouth lasts a LONG time after you take the medication. It takes a long time to clear your system as this is a long acting medication. The reaction I had sounds like what is supposed to happen if you drink alcohol while taking it. I am certain I did not drink alcohol, but I got this ill anyway. The real bummer is that after I took it I was told the lab made a mistake and I did not actually have giardia!!" | 1 | January 1, 2016 | 2 | 115 |
49,772 | Gabapentin | pain | "I have suffered from pain in both legs, related to arthritis in knees, ankles and toes. My doctor prescribed gabapentin 300mg (one capsule daily for one week; then twice daily and thereafter). I got immediate relief of the pain and discomfort. I felt some minor dizziness and sleepiness, but these effects were not lasting. I am keen to know if gabapentin will be permanently added to the list of medications." | 8 | August 5, 2016 | 59 | 70 |
231,919 | Trazodone | anxiety | "Trazodone works great for me. I was put on a Prozac for anxiety/depression issues, and Trazodone also for my anxiety related sleep issues. I've been using it for about 8 months now. I take 50mg every night, and I sleep great through the night and feel great the next day. Sometimes if I've had too much caffeine during the day or have something really important happening the next day I'll take a whole pill (100mg.) The 100mg does make me a little drowsy but it usually wears off by mid morning. When I first started taking it I did get dry mouth and had some stomach problems (which could have been caused by the Prozac) but those went away after the first month. It has really helped my anxiety levels and ensures I get a good nights sleep." | 9 | February 15, 2011 | 76 | 138 |
49,912 | Gabapentin | hot flashes | "I was offered gabapentin for nerve pain in my chest. Having had hot flushes and night sweats completely taking over and affectly so many areas of my life, after only a couple of days taking the gabapentin, the flushes stopped!!! I had been suffering for 3 years having gone through treatment for breast cancer at 45. Due to the amount of pain, my GP had me in 1x300mg 4 times aday. Downside was for the first 3-4 weeks (also because it was a high dose), I felt very drowsy, unable to concentrate, so also unable to drive. I was off work anyway, so was able to cope ok. This only lasted the 2 weeks. My GP had discussed the side affects before hand. I had been on 37.5 mg of venlafaxine 2x1 daily but didn't feel it helped that much. live with in UK." | 10 | December 20, 2015 | 23 | 144 |
61,969 | Citalopram | anxiety and stress | "So I started taking about a week ago, because I have severe anxiety and ADHD as well as OCD, and at first it was miserable, I couldn't read or think straight, it felt like I was in a dream I was in a daze and I was so light headed, i had a terrible dry mouth with the most awful headache, and I felt sleepy, and sluggish, even passed out while getting dressed. I did have better concentration, and overall felt calmer but it has seriously drained me out of alot of other emotions. A week later I am still tired, but I'm not falling asleep during everyday tasks. I can think straight, though I still get light headed and dry mouth, I feel calmer and more relaxed though, and I can focus. My emotions are here and there though, not really constant." | 7 | March 30, 2015 | 4 | 143 |
175,059 | Xylometazoline | nasal congestion | "Warning please don't use otrivin.
As your well wisher I would like to draw your attention towards the side effects of otrivin.
It's been 10 years now that I'm using nose drops as I had deviated septum and oversized turbino. In 2015 I had an operation of septoplasty and turbinoplasty. Along with this I have allergic rhinitis so I started using otrivin as nasal decongestant but somehow I got addicted to this otrivin
it gives you a nice, clear open nose. But you know you get rebound congestion after a while. Once you use otrivin then it will keep your nose open for 9 hours but once the effect is gone you face the same problem but this time your nose blows up inside t twice the size it was. Stop it before it gets too late don't suffer like me..." | 2 | October 3, 2017 | 2 | 141 |
168,475 | Monistat 7 | vaginal yeast infection | "HOLY MOLY! just like everyone else I read these reviews . After I inserted this I felt like it burst into flames. It started with mild itching/burning but as I read these experiences it hit me full force like a furnace. I will eat yogurt FOREVER and garlic everyday if it will keep me away from this product. I laughed at myself the entire time I was writhing in pain! Reading these definitely helped and momma didn't raise a quitter but I'm going to have to walk away from this product and just make an appointment with the doc." | 2 | January 6, 2016 | 6 | 99 |
174,214 | Versed | light sedation | "This was given to me through an IV before an ICD implant. It worked fast and in less than a minute I was totally relaxed and a little sleepy. I don't remember being wheeled into the OR or being put under. Really helped relieve all anxiety I had before surgery." | 10 | October 3, 2013 | 11 | 50 |
117,335 | Jublia | onychomycosis, toenail | "Not sure how everyone is paying so much for this medication...I got my first prescription filled for free and then $35/month after that. I don't even have what I would consider to be good insurance. Then I found a coupon on their website to get it filled at the pharmacy and it's back to $0 copay. You can't beat that! As far as how it is working, so far, so good. It's been 5 months now and haven't had any side effects...I can see when I started using it; my toenail is improving and new growth looks pink and healthy. It hasn't eliminated the ugliness of the part of the nail that had already been destroyed by fungus so I will wait the 12-18 months for it to grow out. I def recommend!!" | 9 | February 11, 2016 | 4 | 133 |
212,768 | Sofosbuvir / velpatasvir | hepatitis c | "Alright 14 days to go thank goodness. Since my last comment so much has happened, still buzzing which is driving me crazy, joints aching, and now getting anxiety (panic) attacks something that I have never had before, this freaks me out. I do have a lot of issues coming up from my time in juvenile detention 40yrs ago, so can't specifically place Epclusa as the cause but my lady reckons it is playing the major contributing factor. I've had Hep C since I was 23 years old. I'm now 54 I'm hoping that these (side affects??) disappear along with this disease when I've finished this course of meds. I'm hoping the best for everyone" | 7 | November 8, 2017 | 3 | 114 |
193,303 | Cyclobenzaprine | sciatica | "My husband was prescribed this medicine after having 4 months of solid sciatica pain. It STOPPED his pain and he is now 3 months pain free, after one week of treatment." | 10 | September 13, 2015 | 31 | 31 |
11,562 | Trulicity | diabetes, type 2 | "Well I visited my Doctor for regular yearly medical check up. Upon reading my last blood test my A1C was 7.6 which she was scared for me was high. She ask me if want to try this new medication Trulicity. I said why not, side effect diarrhea but lost weight in four weeks from 308lb to 297lbs. And A1C from 7.6 to 6.2. And having a good ability to control what I eat, lets say I don't feel like eating everything I see. For me trulicity works. I started on 0 .75mg now on double dose 1.5 which is not bad for the price $25 a week. Still taking my metformin 850mg. First time after my weight gain I have in control of what i eat." | 10 | November 23, 2017 | 1 | 126 |
99,381 | Genvoya | hiv infection | "I thought a long term user review might be helpful. I've been on Genvoya for 3 1/2 years, I was part of one of the Gilead clinical trials. I've experienced no side effects at all, may have something to do with taking antivirals for 10 years. My kidney function has improved and CD4 count has doubled. Keep in mind that the drugs in this combination aren't necessarily new, but the manufacturing process makes it safer on the kidneys and bone density which is why it was developed. If you can get past any initial side effects, I would recommend it. Long term use of antivirals can damage the kidneys, and this is a huge improvement. I noticed a lot of the reviewers were newly diagnosed. Exercise, eat well and take your meds. It does get better." | 10 | April 9, 2017 | 26 | 136 |
79,557 | Plan B One-Step | 7</span> users found this comment helpful. | "Had unprotected sex a day after my period ended and took Plan B 10 hrs later. No one told me it would make my period come again 5 days later. I looked up side effects and everything said if you bleed before your normal period then you may have an epitomic pregnancy. I'd never been more terrified in my life. Thanks for this forum or else I'd think something was wrong with me. So glad to see that it's normal." | 9 | December 27, 2012 | 7 | 80 |
182,125 | Clomipramine | obsessive compulsive disorde | "One of the better drugs I have taken. It sure works - for me 125mg completely erased my OCD related depression and anxiety but there is a side effects price: excessive sweating, constipation and reduced libido." | 9 | September 3, 2017 | 3 | 36 |
25,117 | Hylan g-f 20 | osteoarthritis | "After two knee scopes, a cortisone injection had a Synvisc-one injection last week. I was told it could be a month before any relief. Knee hurts so bad at night I cannot sleep. So far my knee problems..ie...pain, knee collapse and swelling is worse than ever. Hope it starts working soon." | 2 | August 22, 2015 | 41 | 51 |
98,110 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I absolutely love nexplanon! I first got the previous version (implanon) about 3 1/2 years ago and I still had a semi-regular period but no really bad side effects. Very good at preventing pregnancy, and I love how I can just forget about it for 3 years and have no problems! I got it replaced about 6 months ago, it was a very easy process and the doctor switched me from implanon to nexplanon which is basically the same except for the fact that nexplanon has a dye to help it show up in imaging. This time around, I basically never get a period...some spotting every once in a while but nothing much. Sometimes I have sore breasts but it's all worth it! Very effective and easy. Will choose again when I need a replacement in 2 1/2 years!" | 10 | August 4, 2015 | 4 | 139 |
