26,451 | Sprintec | birth control | "So I've been on other birth control pills before but this one definitely has some side effects I didn't experience before. I've become more moody, losing weight (which for me isn't a plus because I'm trying to gain weight lol ) and has my face breaking out. Its only been 2 weeks so I'm going to see how this works for the next month or so just to see if there will be any changes. But just keep in mind EVERYONE BODY TAKES THINGS DIFFERENTLY. So yes some of these reviews are good but you won't know unless you personally try." | 3 | April 6, 2015 | 7 | 101 |
148,569 | Mirena | birth control | "I'm 23 no children. It didn't really hurt that much going it. A few hours later I had bad cramps which were painful. My periods stopped only little spotting which was brill as I had heavy periods before. This is brilliant. But it's the cramps. They only last 2 mins but they are so intense and its nearly had me crying. But then I haven't had no cramps for 2 weeks but now I've got them again. If it lasted longer I would of had it out by now cause the pain is unreal. I am happy about no periods hopefully it will settle. I'll give it another few months and if I still have these cramps it's coming out." | 6 | March 21, 2017 | 2 | 120 |
25,151 | Hylan g-f 20 | osteoarthritis | "I have used Synvisc it for 7 years (getting injections every 6 months) and my doctor said I could be the poster child for the treatment. It held off my knee replacement by at least 5 years. I'd recommend it to anyone" | 8 | October 17, 2008 | 96 | 42 |
146,155 | Suboxone | 4</span> users found this comment helpful. | "I was addicted to Vicodin following an operation, then went on to be introduced to Oxycontin. I have 3 beautiful kids and hated the person I had become. The only way I could get up in the morning was to pop (a lot) pills. I had no patience or energy for my kids unless I had them. I remember laying in bed until I could get a hold of my dealer. I then became pregnant and absolutely knew that it was time to get HELP. I went to my family doctor and he referred me to a doctor who could prescribe Suboxone. I was told how dangerous it could be for my unborn child if I were to just quit cold turkey. So that's when I decided to go on the Suboxone. My baby was born perfectly healthy and I have been clean for almost 1 year and I'm back to normal me." | 8 | June 24, 2011 | 4 | 153 |
143,584 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I got nexplanon about 8 months ago and I have been constantly bleeding the whole time. I guess you can consider it effective birth control since I haven't had much sex in theses past 8 months due to the consistent bleeding. There are 1-3 days were there might not be any bleeding but then it is followed by weeks of constant spotting. I also noticed that sex became a bit painful after a few months of being on nexplanon. I am only 92lbs so my small size may be the reason my body is reacting to it in this way but i honestly wouldnt reccomend this form of birth control." | 3 | December 22, 2016 | 4 | 110 |
60,847 | MoviPrep | bowel preparation | "Prepare prep in advance adding 1/2 packet lemon crystal light and refrigerate. When time comes to drink, pour into a cup with ice and drink with through a straw. Never had any stomach cramps and actually only went to bathroom a couple of times the night before. The next morning drank the second liter in same manner as before. Still no cramps and went to the bathroom frequently until completely purged. I would highly recommend." | 10 | November 8, 2013 | 32 | 75 |
36,704 | Fentanyl | breakthrough pain | "I have used Fentora for breakthrough pain due to RSD which is a nerve disorder. The medication when I can take it makes a huge difference in my daily routine. Unfortunately the last 2 years my current insurance will not pay for it so my family has been paying for it. Initially we paid $4000.00/month which quickly became impossible. I am currently taking 1/4 of my daily dose I should be on. Needless to say my daily routine now causes me to spend a lot of time in bed, pain and nonproductive." | 10 | February 8, 2010 | 41 | 92 |
122,288 | Selegiline | major depressive disorde | "I have tried several medications for my major depression over the years and Emsam side effects have, by far, been the smallest. There are no sexual side effects, no weight gain, etc. My moods are not "monotone" like I had felt on some of the other medications. The only drawback to this medication, in my opinion, is the food/drink watch. I personally don't have to modify much, but if you drink a lot or eat a lot of aged foods, this will be an issue for you on Emsam. Also this is an MAOi so there are medication interactions as well. But mood wise, depression, anxiety...this is the best ever!" | 8 | February 3, 2015 | 25 | 110 |
25,773 | Ethinyl estradiol / norelgestromin | birth control | "I'm just about to start my 5th month on the patch and now that my body's gotten used to it, I can honestly say that I love it! I felt completely normal the first month. The second month, however, I experienced mild itching around the patch, extreme mood swing during the "off period", and heavy spotting for 4 weeks while wearing the patch. After the second month, I was back to normal. No itching, no baby, no huge detrimental side effects except for that I increased a cup size, acne is mild/did not change on patch, no more spotting in between periods, and no mood swings. Overall, I would recommend the patch. Easy to use, put it on butt and forget about it for a week. LOVE it." | 9 | July 9, 2013 | 11 | 128 |
119,550 | Testosterone | hypogonadism, male | "I've done Androgel and a clinical trial for Fortigel, both of which were applied to the upper thigh. The feeling of these treatments was different to me than that of Axiron. Axiron seems to fill me with more energy and I can literally feel it work as my body surges with more energy. Libido is improved, but not as noticeably as the Fortigel, but still good. I like the Axiron better than the others, it gives me a nice, well rounded energetic feeling." | 9 | October 5, 2011 | 49 | 83 |
207,225 | Valtrex | cold sores | "I had suffered through many cold sores, and spent tons of money on abreva. When my doctor prescribed me valtrex I was finally satisfied because within the first tingling feeling , and me taking valtrex most times the cold sore just disappears. I can take valtrex at the first symptom , and it's no longer an issue. Most times not even my boyfriend will see the bump , and I have to point it out. I love valtrex, and am extremely happy with my results." | 9 | October 31, 2016 | 26 | 85 |
24,465 | Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes | bowel preparation | "I started with the mixed solution, (Moviprep Orange) 1 litre, at seven in the evening.
I allowed one and a half hours to drink the
product. It was roughly an hour after finishing the drink that I passed my first motion. The overall process between starting the drink and the complete emptying of my bowel amounted to around three and a half hours. My second dose was started at 6am the next morning. I drank the litre within an hour. The first movement this time was much quicker. within half an hour. My bowel was completely empty at around 8-40. So this process was 2 hours and forty minutes. I found the drink quite palatable. Certainly not difficult to drink. This is the second occasion I have used it and on both occasions my bowel has been cleaned well and perfectly prepared for the examination. I had no side effects whatsoever." | 10 | October 26, 2016 | 21 | 151 |
45,102 | Fluoxetine | anxiety and stress | "For anyone who is hesitant about trying an anti depressant like Prozac because maybe you have too much pride, or you're embarassed that you have to take a pill everyday to feel like yourself. I was suffering with anxiety and depression for about 5 years after a really traumatic car accident and refused to try anything. I'm in my early 20s I thought I was too young. I only wished I would've listened to my body and mind sooner. Prozac changed my life. I only take 20mg and it is incredible. I feel happy.. I feel calm. I feel like my old self. I haven't had any anxiety in months.. I'm not moody. It's like that big dark cloud is finally gone, don't be afraid to try this anti depressant. Im a brand new Me, because of it. I feel invincible" | 10 | October 6, 2016 | 280 | 141 |
113,812 | Tegretol | bipolar disorde | "I have been using tegretol for 6 months , 200 mg a day two times. Before this I started with abylify and it did not help me. I feel much more normal than before and I don't feel like I am going up or down anymore. But I think one of the most important thing is also not using alcohol and sleeping 8 hours a day." | 9 | March 22, 2016 | 33 | 66 |
1,085 | Metronidazole | rosacea | "At the age of 33 my nose stayed to break out at the Time I thought it was acne but after seeing A dermatologist I was told It was rosacea with looks like acne with red spot and white heads . I used the metro .75 percent gel for one week and felt like it made it worse so I stopped . After 3 weeks my rosacea was at the worse it had been I tryed the gel again . 2 weeks on the gel and I have not got any white heads or and new spots I do have redness . Only side affect is it seems as I am growing hair on my nose not sure" | 8 | June 18, 2016 | 9 | 118 |
44,356 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "I was on Tri-Sprintec for 6 months straight and it was great. I had no side effects, no yeast infections, no headaches, and my weight remained the same. After that I went to the doctors for my annual pap and they gave me 3 months of FREE Ortho Tri Cyclen pills. I took them because it was FREE, but those gave me constant yeast infections, headaches, tiredness and my mood swings were insane. My sex drive went down, and I wasn't pleased, nor was my boyfriend. So I couldn't take it anymore. I had the doctor write me a prescription for TRI-SPRINTEC, which always worked well for me. " | 8 | October 12, 2010 | 4 | 109 |
116,637 | Lamictal | epilepsy | "I have taken 150 mg of this drug for 3 and a half years for condition known as Benign Epilepsy. In that time I've continued to have seizure every six months on average as well as experiencing a number of negative side effects including, insomnia, constant sighing, impaired short term memory, lack of motivation, depressive thoughts and difficulty completing tasks due to lack of motivation." | 1 | November 12, 2017 | 0 | 65 |
103,903 | Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel | birth control | "I had a horrible experience with this pill. I've never had trouble with my weight, but I gained 20lbs once I started taking this. Terrible, uncontrollable acne. Would always have breakthrough bleeding. Ruined my sex drive. My breasts did increase from a C to a D though." | 2 | September 24, 2014 | 7 | 47 |
64,983 | Sertraline | panic disorde | "Zoloft gives me no negative side effects, no weight gain, no "zombie" effect, the only problem is that it makes me pretty restless when trying to fall asleep, but it isn't a huge problem. It really helps me with my agoraphobia, two months ago I could barely leave the house. I also tried Paxil, Prozac, and Lexapro - all of which did not help much. Zoloft it is." | 8 | January 5, 2015 | 45 | 68 |
82,477 | Liraglutide | obesity | "I started using Liraglutide some time in September 2011 and so far I have lost around 12lbs! I had some major nausea issues at first though. However, since I went up to '50 clicks' the nausea seems to have subsided! I feel fuller for longer, aren't eating half as much as I used to and I am not constantly thinking about eating neither! I actually feel very good already and it's making me really happy noticing little changes to my body that have come with losing 12lbs! I hope the weight loss continues. It's fabulous." | 9 | October 27, 2011 | 4 | 95 |
128,325 | Phentermine | weight loss | "I started taking this pill Jan. 16, 2012. I was a 235lb, 5'4 female. In one week I lost 13lbs. I lost a total of 90 lbs in 4 and a half months and have kept it off almost 4yrs.
BUT::::::
This pill will only be successful if you make life changes. It will increase energy and curb appetite while you take it. You will lose weight quickly. As soon as you stop, however, you will crave all the nutrients you have deprived your body of while trying to follow a 1000/1200 calorie a day diet.....thus gaining the weight back just as quickly if not careful to stick with portion control" | 10 | December 11, 2015 | 76 | 111 |
141,498 | Escitalopram | generalized anxiety disorde | "I've tried every anti-depressant out there and for some reason couldn't seem to find one that eliminated my problems all at once! Depression, anxiety, panic attacks and a little obsessive compulsive disorder! Just to name a few. I've been on Lexapro for 4 years now and it's the best medication of its kind out there. The only time I get a little anxious is if I have had a late night and a few too many drinks but that's expected. Anyone looking to take anti-depressants with basically no side effects. I highly recommend Lexapro." | 10 | August 14, 2013 | 92 | 94 |
172,318 | Clonazepam | panic disorde | "I was given Klonopin as a sleep med 8 years ago when I was diagonosed with severe anxiety/depression. Finally, I was correctly diagnosed as Bi-polar. At the beginning of the year I spent 3 weeks in an outpatient program after a particularly ugly manic episode. The Dr. at the hospital as well as my new Dr. agreed that I need to be taken off my SSRI because of it causes mania. I was apprehensive because the Zoloft kept the panic away. So they upped the dosage of the Klonopin. It's been 7 months and I take anywhere between .75 and 2 mg a day. Usually it's 1mg. I can't believe the change it's made!" | 9 | July 9, 2017 | 8 | 114 |
121,046 | Venlafaxine | depression | "I take 300 mg effexor am and 15 mg mirtazapine pm just before I go to sleep. This combination has worked very well for me and the only side effect I really have is a bit of dry mouth but that's probably exacerbated by smoking. For me, they counteract each others side effects at these dosages cause at 225mg effexor and 30mg mirtazapine I had an insatiable appetite at night time!" | 10 | May 19, 2017 | 20 | 71 |
72,210 | Tramadol | pain | "Tramadol is such a good medicine for all kind of pains even I can't explain in my words. I was suffering Backache problem last three years but there is no effect by any medicine. Even I consult 5-6 doctors then one my father's friend told me start to take tramadol. Believe me within one year now I am absolutely fine." | 10 | March 15, 2014 | 61 | 60 |
159,251 | TriNessa | 1</span> users found this comment helpful. | "This is the second time i have been on TriNessa and it is not working for me. I regularly get very moody and overly sensitive to everything followed by crying for nothing. I have had blurriness in my right eye and severe migraines almost everyday. I originally went on Trinessa for acne, it didn't help at all, it actually got worse. And I noticed that my periods are longer and cramps are a lot worse." | 1 | April 21, 2011 | 1 | 75 |
116,182 | Amlodipine | raynaud's syndrome | "At first I got fantastic results. I have severe Raynaud's and was basically house bound. It even presented in warm weather. At first the Norvasc totally removed the symptoms. They seem to have come back, however, and it is mid-summer. I also take Ritalin for narcolepsy and I fear that it may be causing some of the symptoms. I would recommend trying this medicine for Raynaud's. I take 5 mg per day." | 7 | July 10, 2012 | 53 | 72 |
117,457 | Nortriptyline | cyclic vomiting syndrome | "I have had Cyclic/Chronic vomiting syndrome for 2 years now and I've only just a few months ago got treatment for it. It works very well but I still get nauseous sometimes but haven't vomited since September." | 8 | January 27, 2017 | 1 | 37 |
42,998 | Phenytoin | epilepsy | "I have been taking Dilantin since late 1991. Started off at 300mg nightly and was increased over time to 400mg when fits became more severe anf frequent. While pregnant with my 3rd child in 2007, dose was increased to 500mg nightly. This dose was never dropped back after pregnancy ended. In June 2011, I underwent brain surgery to have the scarring causing my fits removed. So far, it has been successful. At 22, I had 2 lumps removed from my left breast, which thankfully turned out to be non-cancerous. But after finding a very noticeable lump in my left breast this year, I had a mammogram. The nurse found 22 lumps in total in both breasts! My GP is not concerned and tells me they are just little oil sacks, but lump is not shrinking." | 7 | January 5, 2012 | 6 | 135 |
222,203 | Fluconazole | tinea versicol | "I was diagnosed with Tinea Versicolor. This is basically an overgrowth of yeast on your skin, it causes the affected areas to lose pigment; such as a tan. Locals in Hawaii call it Haole rot. I'm not entirely sure if this medicine is working yet because it can take a long time for your skin tone to even out. My pharmacist did not tell me that Xanax should not be taken with this medicine. I'm really happy that I didn't take any. I can't find out how long it stays active in your system though. I took the medicine yesterday (400mg) and I am going to take another 400mg dose in one week. Today my face burns as though I have a chemical burn. It's kind of an odd side effect." | 6 | December 2, 2009 | 11 | 131 |
36,598 | Fentanyl | chronic pain | "I have been on the 75 mcg Fentanyl patch for about four years now. I've have had problems finding pharmacies that carry my patches so I hope they aren't taking them off the market. But they have helped me a lot with my back before/after surgery I switch them every 48 hrs otherwise I start going through withdrawal." | 7 | November 21, 2013 | 38 | 58 |
112,497 | Methenamine | urinary tract infection | "I have been suffering from recurrent uti's for over 20 years. I have had 5 cystoscopes, bladder biopsies, urine cytology to determine a cause. I've been on prophylaxis antibiotics to no avail and the constant cystitis/uti's were ruining my life.
My 3rd urologist gave me Hiprev a number of months ago and it has changed my life. I have not had a uti since!!" | 10 | October 18, 2016 | 38 | 64 |
56,557 | Elavil | anxiety and stress | "Today I am on 100mg of Elavil and it is working quite well. Best of all, Elavil has the added bonus of curbing my neuropathy which had forced me to be on fentanyl for over 4 years. Been about eight years now and it is still doing a great job. I have been on just about every drug they have for panic and other than Prozac this is one of the only drugs that has worked or worked without nasty side effects. paxil worked but TOTALLY wiped out my sex drive and ability to perform. Zoloft did nothing at all good or bad. Alcohol was good at knocking down the panic attacks but the bad there was the attacks became more frequent. Imipramine only masked the symptoms causing some nasty muscle tension that lead to migraines." | 10 | June 29, 2017 | 20 | 136 |
174,324 | Tri-Lo-Sprintec | birth control | "I'm curious if the formula that was on the market a few years ago (which I never took) but seemingly had poor reviews from many, is different than the one that just became available this year. I've only been taking it a month, but it's been great thus far. No poor side effects and my period seems to be way lighter than I can ever remember. I was almost frightened by the negative reviews when my pharmacy made me switch. But don't worry! True, everyone's different- but it wasn't a problem for me." | 9 | February 29, 2016 | 13 | 93 |
226,756 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I got my Nexplanon inserted in June 2014, I got my period the month after but haven't gotten it ever since. I haven't gotten pregnant either. I'm very satisfied except for the fact that my face has been breaking out so much and gained so much weight." | 9 | April 12, 2015 | 24 | 47 |
16,551 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "The first three months were horrible. I got cyst like acne, I had mood swings, and I had my period for 2 to 3 weeks at a time. Once I got to the 4th, 5th, and 6th month the acne cleared, the mood swings have dramatically decreased (i just get teary at sappy things end of month), and I've actually skipped periods. My boyfriend encouraged me to stick it through and I'm happy I did." | 7 | December 8, 2015 | 2 | 75 |
94,381 | Trintellix | depression | "started on 10mg for 1 month had nausea and dry mouth, but nausea started to go away, still having depression and some anxiety. then doc went up to 20mg. I been on 20mg for almost two weeks. I been having nausea all day, severe acid reflux, severe indigestion and really bad upset stomach. not sure if this is related but if it is, I cant wait to stop this medicine." | 2 | March 20, 2014 | 60 | 70 |
91,708 | MetroGel-Vaginal | bacterial vaginitis | "Metrogel is a very good solution to curing a vaginal infection. A common side effect not listed is heavy discharge. I have also experienced pelvic cramping from day 3-7 but about the same as menstrual cramps." | 9 | June 2, 2009 | 81 | 36 |
70,021 | Efavirenz / emtricitabine / tenofovir | hiv infection | "Got diagnosed may last year after losing a third of my body weight. Had viral load in the millions and cd4 count of 90. I kinda suspected I might have hiv from the night sweats. So got diagnosed, and put on Atripla. I had visions of throwing up all the time and a life of misery.
So, I started taking this stuff, 1 a day as per docs recommendations. I chose 10pm as my time as it seemed the best for me. No side effects, no feeling sick, nothing. Within 6 months was undetectable, weight back on. Live in uk, so meds are free. There are no restrcitions, you can drink etc. Many times I've washed my pill down with a sip of wine.
I feel that I am a symbiotic lifeform. I like it, feel great,my grey hairs have gone ." | 10 | September 28, 2016 | 8 | 142 |
46,571 | Sulfasalazine | rheumatoid arthritis | "I have only been on this med for 4 months. It has helped with my stiffness. My body would become so stiff, felt like I had pre death rigormortis... especially after sitting for any length of time. Getting up from a sitting position was extremely painful and awkward. My only complaint about the med is that it is to large for me to swallow. I take 3 per day, and I am fearful that I will choke on them. They scrape my throat and esophagus when I take them. Wish they would change the shape and coat them to make them easier to take." | 8 | April 25, 2016 | 45 | 104 |
4,198 | Acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine / salicylamide | migraine | "I buy Pain-Aids brand at local Quik-Trip that's about the only place I know to buy pain-aids. A box of 12 packages, with 2 pain-aids in each package is $2.99. They are the best for relieving headaches and other pains. They do not upset my stomach, even on an empty one. I have tried many pain killers, even prescription, and these are by far the best. Easy to purchase if there is a Quik- Trip nearby because I have not found them in Walmart, Kmart or any other drug store. Once I found them at a health food store in Akron, Ohio which was great because I couldn't find a Quik-Trip. It has all 4 ingredients, aspirin, acetaminophen, caffeine, salicylamide. I give the highest rating 10." | 10 | January 2, 2010 | 7 | 126 |
19,666 | Pregabalin | ibromyalgia | "I have been taking Lyrica for about 4 months now. While it does help with the pain, I feel like I'm walking on pillows. I'm constantly hungry, sleepy, dizzy and I feel like I'm drunk. I worked VERY hard to lose the weight that I gained when I was pregnant and since I've been on this medication, I've put it all back on and then some (40 lbs). It's hard to say if the pain is better or if I'm so caught up with the side effects that I don't care. I'm being weened off of it right now and being put on a different medicine. I'd rather go back to the opiates and itch like crazy." | 5 | November 19, 2010 | 21 | 117 |
138,851 | Phentermine | weight loss | "I started using this medicine 3 weeks ago and so far I have lost 10.8 lbs. I feel so much better. I also work out in the mornings at 6am 5-6 days per week. Some days I only take 1/2, depends on how I feel when I get home from the gym. I love this pill. I get a lot more done at work and home. I started at 237 now at 226.2 my goal is 150-160lbs. I will be there by December 31st, 2010." | 10 | September 14, 2010 | 5 | 85 |
40,268 | Savella | ibromyalgia | "I was put on Savella shortly after it came out and was on it for 3 months and my blood pressure rose. My doctor took me off of it and added blood pressure medication and I was put on Neurontin. Neurotin did not do anything for my fibromyalgia, I was constantly in pain. Six months ago, I went to my doctor and stated I wanted to try it again, because it had worked before and we had added a blood pressure med. I was depressed and hurting. I told her I did not want to be on narcotics all the time to control the pain. I have been on it now for about six months, we are watching my blood pressure closely and all has been good. It has helped with my IBS, I have lost almost 40 pounds because I feel good and can move and do simple things again." | 8 | October 21, 2013 | 192 | 151 |
103,235 | Estarylla | acne | "I am 26 and have tried many different types of oral birth control. The main reason I am on BCPs are for acne. Overall this pill is not bad I have been on it for about 3 months now and my face has cleared up from the last pill. minimal acne. My mood is stable no changes, the first 2 months I spotted for a week or two in between the middle of the active pills. Overall a lighter flow and no cramping. I have noticed my breast have been very tender. The major downside of this pill is that it has decreased my sex drive, vaginal dryness, and some painful sex. My boyfriend is not a fan of any of this nor am I.The main reason I am giving it a 7. switching next pack to low dose levonorgestrel." | 7 | December 10, 2015 | 7 | 140 |
17,327 | Errin | birth control | "I got on this birth control at 47 because I was tired of having bad cramps. I don't have any feminine problems so I really didn't need a cycle at all. I have been taking this pill for 3 years with no cycle at all. I did ask my doctor can I get off at year 2 but she said if I'm not in menopause my cycle could come down. It doesn't bother me to pop this pill daily along with my other meds. It did what I wanted who wants to deal with a cycle at my age." | 10 | August 29, 2016 | 14 | 99 |
139,640 | Luvox | anxiety and stress | "I've been on it from 2 months for my anxiety and its working pretty fine but I've decreased libido and low sexual drive and its concerning for a young guy to have this sort of side effects. I am gonna consult my doctor about this" | 7 | June 12, 2017 | 2 | 45 |
99,464 | Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate | bowel preparation | "Vomiting and diarrhrea at the same time - horrible. The most vile tasting medicine. Tried mixing it with lemon flavored water on ice and holding my nose. I still was gagging and vomiting. Doing it once is bad enough but then have to get up in the middle of the night to do it all over again? There's got to be a better way." | 1 | November 13, 2017 | 7 | 64 |
154,734 | Metronidazole | bacterial vaginitis | "First couple of days were no problem, then I started feeling nauseous every afternoon and more tired than usual. Its the last day on my dosage and I don't feel like I can even keep food down, I've been trying to eat soup just to get something in my stomach but its been hard. I'm the type of person who has been surviving on 5-6 hours of sleep a night, but on this drug I've been sleeping longer, not feeling like I've gotten enough sleep, and taking accidental naps during the day. My doctor only suggested this to me saying that my bacteria levels weren't too high, so it was my choice to take these, if I could go back I wouldn't have started these pills. As far as I know they work, but the side effects I had are horrible." | 3 | June 5, 2017 | 5 | 141 |
170,351 | Quetiapine | insomnia | "This medication works great for those with cronic insomnia. My only complaint is weight gain which for me was not an option since I work hard at watching my weight. I was taking 50 mg and had nightmares with talking in my sleep. I since stopped taking nightly and only use after I can't sleep for a few days. However, almost each time I take it I have the verbal nightmares. Keep in mind these r my side effects and may not happen to you, as far as a sleep aid it works great." | 7 | March 14, 2016 | 35 | 94 |
59,666 | NuvaRing | birth control | "I really wanted to give this medicine a chance but I can't do it anymore after just a few hours. Within two hours I felt so tired, I laid down for a nap. My right arm went numb, then I woke up with my whole body numb. Got up to walk to the bathroom and felt light-headed. Now it is six hours later and I feel angry and agitated, like I hate my family. I feel like leaving everything behind. I was perfectly fine this morning. I ended up flushing the thing down the toilet! This thing has only made me feel like rubbish, and I would just rather NOT have sex than use anything like this again!" | 1 | March 30, 2017 | 5 | 118 |

I just turned 52-YO but have suffered from incontinence for the last few years and seem to go through 2 to 3 "super-plus" Poise or Tena each day, plus one at night.
I saw an ad on TV yesterday for Oxytrol and bought a 4-pack ($16.99) on my lunch hour and put one on about 1:15pm.
And while certainly NOT recommended for someone with my condition, my co-workers and I go out on Mondays for a few cocktails and I always make sure I have extra 'pads' in my purse.
We're talking LESS THAN 5-HOURS and a few Miller Lites, I stayed totally dry and only leaked when I was just about to sit down on the toilet. THAT IS A MIRACLE." | 10 | October 7, 2013 | 65 | 126 |
45,504 | Fluoxetine | obsessive compulsive disorde | "I have been taking fluoxetine for about five months now. It has been a God send for me! I am notoriously moody, possibly from BPD, and I do have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder where I have repetitive thoughts and the only way I can describe Prozac is that it feels like a vice grip on your brain that made you think about things over and over, releases completely.
I feel so in control and wherever I put my focus, it stays without drifting back.
I love this medication so much I will never leave it. The only complaint I have is that it does take forever to work. Forget about the 6 to 8 week rule, it will take a few months. And when it works, you will feel so amazing. For me, 60 mgs is ideal." | 10 | September 15, 2014 | 155 | 136 |
50,535 | Gabapentin | anxiety | "Gabapentin has relatively few side effects - I can be a little dizzy - not much, plus it makes my eyes a little puffy.

I've been bleeding pretty bad between periods (seems to be worse when I drink coffee for the record). Along with the spotting I've been getting cramps that feel worse than my usual period cramps. I've also been getting headaches MUCH worse than I'm used to that seem to last forever. Periods have been lighter which is a plus but obviously all the blood that should be draining isn't because of all the spotting. It isn't all bad but I'm switching for sure." | 4 | July 16, 2016 | 0 | 97 |

I thought my infection was a UTI at first and I took some medicine and drank tons of water. It never went away and I started getting red and swollen so I decided I had a YI. I got the monistat 1 day capsule and I felt great after inserting it at like 9 or 9:30pm. I'm now awake at 2:48 am with some burning and discomfort.

My life hasn't stopped taking as of today- I tend to hide away, in a literal sense. Locking all doors behind me. Recently the FDA marked Xanax a black label- (saying it's a killing drug with pain meds taken together) thanks to rich people and their drinking with meds, and those high profile dealers out there mixing fentenyl into simple drugs, and doctors prescribing 2mg Xanax pills several per day.., people like me get to be sick and be removed from 3 -1m tabs per day that were to help us be part of society- while we search for another medication to help us get there again..

Disclaimer: I DO take it everyday, hardly ever skip, and when I do forget, I double up the next day, so I think I've got myself covered. I did not experience weight gain (but I'm pretty physically active 5'3 120lbs). Cramps, well sometimes but not bad, no problems with acne, no mood swings (unless I'm ON my period, but that's a given). If you're young and seriously unprepared for the risk of having a child, I would recommend making sure your partner STILL uses a condom even if you're on birth control, trust me (3 Years and its worked for, knock on wood)." | 10 | October 30, 2014 | 23 | 123 |
16,705 | Yaz | birth control | "I have been on Yaz for over a year now. At first it was great, my skin cleared up, my periods were regular, light and short and my moods varied only slightly. After about the first 5 months however, everything started going wrong. I have constant heartburn, I've gained 10 lbs., I'm tired all the time, my acne has returned and I've been spacey and forgetful. Worst of all are my periods. The week before and throughout my period my moods are ALL over the place, I'm irritable and easily upset which isn't like me. I'm getting severe cramps, migraines and I get really nauseous when I'm on my period, which are heavier now than they ever were and last usually about 8 days, last month it lasted 11!

Have tried Xanax, ib protein 800 and Advil and nothing takes the pain away like flexeril 10mg consistantly right before bed! Wonder drug for me! Best part of all its non addicting. Doctor said its a torn muscle on the left side of my spine, also shot me up with a cortisone shot that hurt like hell for days! I have been on it for a week and it's night and day for me, hope it keeps doing what it's doing. Good luck to everyone!" | 10 | August 14, 2015 | 73 | 110 |

I gave it a 5 as it does protect from pregnancy well, but that's it. This pill makes me feel crazy, have racing anxious thoughts, worrying about lots of things including death, like crying or punching someone in the face, and very tired. My face breaks out painfully. My breasts are so sore I can barely move. My periods are heavier and more painful. Also, my hair is thinner and comes out in clumps. To whoever wrote they had that happen and heard going off it makes it worse: go off it! I was on this for a year, and when I went off it, my hair grew back in and the thinning spots went away. Coming back on it, I already feel my hair thinning." | 5 | January 9, 2011 | 2 | 143 |

I have tried other Contraceptives in the past and don't remember which ones or if they had any negative side effects, only took them for a short time. I tried the Nuva Ring but later found out I was pregnant (Miscarriage occurred). That was back in early 2004. I don't have too many complaints. Just the bleeding for so long. This is my 3rd cycle since my son was born in Sept 2008. I had a 33 day cycle then a 31. both times I only bled for max 8 days." | 5 | March 13, 2010 | 0 | 118 |

It works good because you don't have to remember taking pills or putting in a ring. I was told that I would not gain weight. It made my periods lighter. I started to get acne. I get bad cramps and a headache before my period. I tried to stick it out but I'm going to get it removed ... I can't stand the weight gain." | 5 | August 10, 2011 | 0 | 92 |

It cleared up the UTI in a day but by the second day, it was nausea, extreme fatigue, no appetite, joint and muscle pain, stomach pain and complete weakness, chills and fever. Pharmacist said it was probably the UTI. Now it's day 5 and I'm in agony. Stopping Macrobid and calling the doctor in the morning." | 3 | October 13, 2013 | 52 | 73 |

I switched to another type of bc and within 2 months my suicidal thoughts were completely gone and within 4 months my depression and anxiety were gone too. My life was the same, but I felt sane and in control of my emotions again. I also was finally able to lose weight. And my previously clear skin, which levora ruined with cystic acne, went back to normal. This is a nasty, horrible pill. It should be taken off the market." | 1 | September 30, 2016 | 7 | 95 |

The side effects have been minimal, and possibly can't all necessarily be blamed on Xarelto as I take many other medications, some with similar side effects such as tiredness and headaches. The worst side effect for me is dizziness, but my specialist recommended I take it just before bed instead of the morning as the dizziness wears off within several hours." | 8 | July 3, 2017 | 8 | 108 |
170,620 | Quetiapine | bipolar disorde | "Seroquel XR has changed my life! I tried regular Seroquel and it's like having your head in a bucket. The XL version feels like a completely different medicine. I take 100 mg at night. I wake up refreshed, happy, eager to start my day, I also take Lamictal 300 mg in the morning. No side effects from either medicine. I have been on both for about 7 years. I have been depressed once in that time and it was situational." | 10 | October 21, 2014 | 35 | 80 |

The Remicade has basically helped me to have a normal life again. I feel great these days, but one gets to the point where you feel good and want to be medicine free.

I started taking Wellbutrin SR in September 2014, and eventually went up to 300 mg x day. At first it just gave me headaches, worsened my chronic insomnia, and gave me an immediate burst of way too much energy. Now I no longer experience any of these effects. One of my biggest issues before was total lack of motivation, but Wellbutrin has fixed this almost entirely. I'm actually able to leave the house now and I finally have a job that I enjoy going to and am actually able to focus on. I really wish I had started taking this sooner, but I'm glad I'm on it now." | 10 | May 8, 2015 | 97 | 139 |

I tried desitin, it burned, I went the analgesic route and sprayed the area with poison ivy treatment and it calmed down the area temporarily. Three weeks and I am still suffering.

225,093 | Bupropion | depression | "I started on wellbutrin about 8 months ago for clinical depression, and while it hasn't been a miracle cure, things could deffinitly be worse. It really has been a gentler medication in terms of side effects. The only medication I tried before this was lexapro, and geez was that rough (sexual side effects, extreme lethargy, brain fog, memory loss, weight gain etc). I switched to wellbutrin as an alternative, and experienced mellow side effects while adjusting (lethargy, drowsiness) which only lasted for about 3 weeks.
Cons: Significant rebound depression if I miss a dose, insomnia if taken at night (it's a stimulant), occasional bouts of depression (it hasn't been a complete fix). Sometimes I'll get really bad brain fog if I mistime dose." | 8 | March 30, 2016 | 29 | 123 |

For the record, my bpm while running stays somewhere between 150-160 bpm.

She prescribed the Contrave which I never heard of. In the first week, a bit rough getting used to the medication. Two weeks into it, side effects started to decrease and my body was getting used to the drug, Today is April 3, 2017, and I am down 22 pounds over the last
8 weeks. I weigh once per week.
Contrave works for me, cutting the craving for food. I have not had any ice cream, chips & salsa and no fast food items like Burger King Whoppers. The desire to eat is just not there anymore. Portion size is much smaller and taking the Contrave fills my stomach up faster when eating. I am on a mission. It works" | 10 | April 4, 2017 | 60 | 149 |

November was the first month that my cycle lasted 28 days after that it's been like 2 to 4 weeks of bleeding 2 to 4 weeks off. I went to my doctor June 2015 and she put me on meds for 3 months to help give me a break from bleeding. The first month on the meds my cycle lasted about 34 days the 2nd month was 3 weeks long and so was the third month.

First time I've used Zoloft I was only 15 and it was for Social Anxiety/Severe Depression and it helped me tremendously. Stopped it after one year and maybe... 6 months later my anxiety was back along with obsessive compulsive disorder.
Anyway, I'm back on it and after 1 month I can say this IT'S PERFECT. I'm lucky to not have any side effects (except maybe a little bit of diziness but I don't care) and I feel so much better!!!
I'm way LESS ANXIOUS, OCD is diminished by 3/4 (I still need to follow therapy for this problem), no more black thoughts, I'm also more focused at school and my thoughts are more coherent/clear.
I don't think I'll ever stop this medication... For me, it's a life saver." | 10 | October 3, 2014 | 117 | 139 |

I have naturally very oily skin & break out right before I get my period, but on Aubra those annoying whiteheads went away. When I first started taking it I found myself hungrier than usual & with an increased appetite, and I gained almost 10 lbs, but after the first few months my appetite curbed and went back to normal & I lost the weight. My boobs grew slightly and it helped regulate my period. My friend was also on Aubra but had to switch because it made her gain a lottttt of weight. Everyone's body reacts differently, but personally Aubra worked for me :^))" | 9 | July 30, 2017 | 1 | 136 |

He questioned me being on Coumadin and felt strongly that Aggrenox was the right medicine for my situation.

I am on the lowest dose and have even tried to take it ever other day and then seem to revert back to constipation. I have been in bed all day today and feel sick with stomach cramps and feel very tired. I would not recommend this medication. Think I'll try Metamucil from now on and see how that works.

I do have joint pain in my ankles in the morning, not sure if its the drug or not but interesting others have the joint pain. I also am struggling to lose weight when it used to be so easy, Brisdelle to blame or menopause or both. Its a good drug and does what it says for me. I will continue taking it. By the way I have a coupon from their website and only pay $25 a month for it. It is costly w/no coupon." | 9 | February 16, 2016 | 21 | 150 |
230,082 | Glipizide | diabetes, type 2 | "I just started using glipizide 5 mg 3 weeks ago in combination with metforming 1000mg twice a day. It is a powerful medicine as I noticed my sugar was 300 and 3 hours later it was down to 100. My body was shaking and my stomach was not feeling well. I was told to take medication and eat 30 minutes later and then take metforming after meal. Since my numbers didn't go much over 150 doctor said we didn't need to up to the 10mg a day she thought I would need after the 3 weeks. I was avoiding insulin and was prescribed glipizide, I realize I must start doing it without it. Just use one medication or my stomach will suffer. I had a belly ache and later had to go to the toilet. I also have headaches and need more lotion since I am itchier." | 10 | September 15, 2017 | 3 | 147 |
209,223 | Geodon | schizoaffective disorde | "I have been on the Carosel of medicines for months now and Geodon has been the only one to help cease the hallucinations and the paranoia but not inhibit my ability to think. Bloating is the only side effect that is uncomfortable so far." | 10 | October 16, 2011 | 17 | 44 |
77,399 | Prolia | osteoporosis | "My GP recommended I have this injection, replacing Evista. I've had only one injection in February 2017. About three weeks later, I had terrible ear/jaw pain and went to the doctor. She diagnosed a sinus/allergy infection and gave me meds for that. It did clear up. However, after reading more about Prolia later I found out that one of the side effects is jaw pain. Also, since I had the injection I have had continuous itching of the face and excessive hair loss, which I also read are side effects. I am scheduled for another injection the end of August but I am going to cancel and will not have another injection. I don't know what the benefits would be but don't think they are worth the irritation. Will consult again with my GP." | 1 | August 2, 2017 | 50 | 134 |
