148,921 | Mirena | abnormal uterine bleeding | "Inserting Mirena felt like getting an abortion, worst 10 min of my life! Got this January 2016 and im still bleeding, not heavy but enough to wear a pad or regular tampon. Sometimes I think the bleeding has stopped and next thing I know I'm bleeding all over again! Not sure if I want to keep this in still." | 3 | March 6, 2016 | 23 | 59 |
203,624 | Zyban | smoking cessation | "I was prescribed Zyban by my physician to aid in quitting smoking. I was super excited to get it because I would finally get the help I needed to kick the habit for good. I read some awesome reviews and was confident this would be it.
I was instructed to take one a day for the first few days and then begin taking one twice a day. I felt ok at first but once I started taking two a day I began to experience side effects. Headaches, waking up feeling hungover, extreme nausea, confusion and fogginess, muscle tenderness and definite weakness... almost as if my brain was telling me I couldn't move if I tried and I became literally too lazy to try. I was super disappointed, it just wasn't for me. " | 1 | October 6, 2015 | 20 | 133 |
81,551 | Liraglutide | obesity | "I started Saxenda around the 3rd week of July and am at 1.8 ml. I am a 5'4 female, 42 years old, with thyroid problems amongst other issues. I was at 215 pounds and am down 9 lbs with no exercise. Yay! I purposely didn't exercise while I was adjusting. Once I see if I can handle 3.0 ml I will add in exercise. The side effects are gone and I hope it stays that way. I find I get on my scale and every few days I am about .5 pounds down. This is requiring a lot of patience!" | 10 | August 15, 2017 | 4 | 100 |
183,623 | Cymbalta | generalized anxiety disorde | "I took cymbalta 50 mg everyday for over 2 months. This was to treat a generalized anxiety disorder and minor depression. I live in the Midwest where the sun does not come out very often in the winter months. The medicine was effective in the long run in treating my minor depression due to the winter blues however when I first started taking the medicine I did have suicidal thoughts, which was very strange for me. Eventually, it interfered with my libido, which caused me to stop taking the medicine. I am 22 years old and for me to begin to experience libido issues led me to discontinue this medicine. This might be a isolated issue but I hope it helps you decide if the side effects outweigh its benefits." | 5 | January 4, 2010 | 37 | 130 |
40,571 | Zanaflex | muscle spasm | "I've been on Zanaflex for about 6 months now. At first it helped me sleep through the night but now I only get about 4 hours. I would not recommend taking in the day time because it seems to make you feel funny in the head if you don't go to sleep, and also have very vivid dreams on this." | 6 | July 19, 2009 | 52 | 60 |
140,046 | Xanax XR | panic disorde | "This was the first medication I was prescribed for anxiety, panic attacks, post traumatic stress disorder, and a few other problems I had going on at the same time. I started taking 1mg once per day, then 1mg twice per day... this worked well for quite a while. Then I changed to 2mg once per day and after several months went to 2mg twice per day. I took this for about 4yrs. total and had no nightmares, seldom had racing thoughts, the panic attacks stopped pretty much all together after the first week or two, and this also kept the general anxiety at bay as well. The only problem was that if you have no insurance or discount card it's very expensive! I had to go to 10mg valium 3x daily at 1/3 the cost, but wish I could still afford the XR's because they work well!" | 10 | December 21, 2013 | 59 | 147 |
225,393 | Bupropion | smoking cessation | "I smoked for 8 years anywhere from half a pack to a pack a day, I started Zyban, gave myself 1 week to tapered down then stopped smoking completely. I looked into many options and decided to try Zyban as it appeared to have less severe side effects. I wasn't even sure I wanted to quit smoking and definitely thought I would struggle and just keep going back to the excuse "well I tried". I took the medication for 12 weeks as advised by my doctor and have been smoke free ever since. I know some people have side effects but don't let that put you off, everybody reacts differently to medication so why not try it, as a smoker what do you have to lose. I am so happy with the results I have achieved and would recommend this to anyone." | 10 | July 23, 2015 | 70 | 142 |
136,059 | Relpax | migraine | "Relpax is an amazing medication that completely ceases my migraine pain, nausea and light sensitivity within an hour. I have luckily no side effects or groggy feelings.
I read that it hasn't worked for some, my doctor told me if your headaches are cluster or other then this medication will have no affect and your headache will remain. :-(" | 10 | August 30, 2016 | 8 | 59 |
191,461 | Lisdexamfetamine | adhd | "I was previously on Adderall XR before going on Vyvanse. My reason for switching was because I suffer from BED as well, which this drug is basically a miracle drug for. As far as how this drug functions as an ADHD med, I do not think it is as effective as Adderall but it does last for a really long time, which has its pro's and con's. If you take it too late, you will have a hard time sleeping and if you want to go to happy hour or grab a drink that day, because this drug takes anywhere from 9-11 hours to leave your system, you won't be able to feel the effects of alcohol or the effects of the alcohol will all kick in at once Vyvanse leaves your system (be warned). But if you want to get a lot done during the day, its good." | 7 | January 15, 2016 | 25 | 149 |
196,163 | Fluvoxamine | obsessive compulsive disorde | "I have been taking Luvox since 1998. I always knew something was strange about the way I acted growing up lol. As I grew up, married, and had a child, life became very scary to me. I worried constantly, fearing death for those around me. I suddenly had an episode of what is referred to as an anxiety attack. I thought I was dying... it was a horrible experience, and before I finally went to a social worker seeking help (and that was very hard for me to admit to myself) I'd had a couple more of these anxiety/panic attacks... So... the social worker diagnosed me with OCD. She worked along with my M.D. whom I still see to this day and trust very much & decided to give the medication she recommended to him for me a try. ... continued" | 10 | August 17, 2017 | 11 | 141 |
150,491 | Sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim | urinary tract infection | "Started this med yesterday for the first time. Immediately noticed how strong it is! Prevented vomiting by only taking on a full stomach. Drinking a lot of water will help with the headaches as dehydration will cause this too. I don't recommend taking too late at night because of insomnia." | 4 | August 3, 2016 | 18 | 50 |
42,125 | Dexilant | gerd | "Received samples from Dr's office to last for 1 month. My symptoms were stomach pain, heartburn and excessive burping for around 5 days before getting an appointment. Within 2 days all the symptoms described above were 90 percent better but almost from day 2 I started having very soft stools which could turn to loose stools later in day. Not uncommon to have 4-5 bowel movements in a day. Starting with week 4 I started feeling burning sensations in my back and the stomach pain and burping returned although has been to a lesser degree. I do not intend to take anymore and will explore other options with Dr. Do your research on PPI's they can act as a mask for more serious issues." | 5 | December 11, 2017 | 0 | 124 |
118 | Medroxyprogesterone | abnormal uterine bleeding | "If I could give this shot 0 rating I would. Lets start with I've always had a normal period before this unexplained side effect of a shot. This shot was administer to me in April and I didn't stop bleeding until July 31st. After doing my own research and taking matters into my own hands it has finally stopped. I went to the doctor countless of times trying to figure out how to stop the bleeding. I took (BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES) if I could type that in bold letters and in a bigger font I would. When I tell you on the first day of taking it the bleeding was much lighter and on the 5th day it was gone. All I took was one tablespoon daily." | 1 | August 3, 2015 | 51 | 126 |
224,325 | Levothyroxine | underactive thyroid | "For most of my life, I have been on this medication, I don't remember much of my symptoms from before but basically I will usually feel quite tired and cold, which is the main thing that will probably stick with you if you have hypothyroidism. As for treating my "symptoms," I would say it does an alright job. The main issue I see a lot of people talking about is weight loss, I am here to confirm that you will probably weigh less and lose a bit of pounds if you are taking the right dosage, since I have taken the medication for quite a long time, I can confirm that I am on the lighter side of the scale, however I am not speaking for all the users of levothyroxin. Speak with your doctor about whether or not, this is the right medication." | 8 | January 14, 2016 | 39 | 144 |
182,783 | Cymbalta | depression | "started sweating first few days after starting med, and had weird feelings this med was making it worse. All went away after two weeks and now I am doing well with this med." | 7 | October 12, 2016 | 40 | 33 |
64,483 | Sertraline | generalized anxiety disorde | "I suffered from a major bout of anxiety in my sophomore year of high school and it made life very difficult, I grew agitated and jumpy and the summer between my sophomore year and junior year, I started taking zoloft after talking to my doctor and was clinically diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and major depression. After being on it for a while, I noticed that my depression was getting better, when combined with therapy, I also felt less anxious at school unless I was in large crowds. This medication has been a huge help but going off of it for extended lengths of time has lead to sudden and small panic attacks without cause." | 8 | July 14, 2016 | 13 | 118 |
122,334 | Dymista | allergic rhinitis | "I have only been on this for 24 hours, but it got rid of a sinus migraine (from someone wearing perfume around me) that would have otherwise taken hours- days to kick. ALSO- many of you talk about the horrible taste. Please read the directions. It clearly states to blow your nose, look at your toes, and spray looking downward to avoid getting into your throat. My doctor recommended using the opposite hand to spray in the opposite nostril at an angle. Just my 2 cents- I will update more later as I am on this spray longer." | 9 | March 11, 2017 | 14 | 98 |
36,086 | Efinaconazole | onychomycosis, toenail | "I've been applying Jublia on four infected nails for almost two months now and so far there's been no noticeable improvement. I plan to continue with the treatment for the recommended period in hopes it will work at some point." | 3 | March 31, 2015 | 21 | 40 |
82,254 | Liraglutide | diabetes, type 2 | "For me, Victoza was a life-changing drug. For decades, I struggled with unexplained hunger and weight gain. I had every possible test done. Finally, after tests showed a slightly elevated A1c, I suggested to my doctor we try Victoza. And it worked. Yes, there was nausea. But the medication actually worked BETTER the longer I was on it. I attribute this to loss of appetite, (after several months, I no longer experienced the raging hunger I once did). I admit that nausea continues to be a problem (and the only side effect), so I’ll try decreasing Victoza to 1.2, then .6 if that doesn’t work. Despite the nausea, the drug has been well-worth it for me. I finally feel like myself again. I guess what I’m saying is, “Don’t lose hope!”" | 9 | October 17, 2015 | 60 | 131 |
91,971 | Lyrica | postherpetic neuralgia | "Shingles in my scalp in 2009. Started off using 75 mg twice daily. I am now taking 150 mg twice daily. The Lyrica was/is a lifesaver, since I also have migraine, sinus, tension headaches. I seldom have the migraines anymore. My problem is that my scalp continues to get irritated if I comb it or use any kind of lotions, gels, moisturizers, oils or sprays on it. Concerned about the weight gain, but overall, satisfied with Lyrica." | 9 | July 23, 2015 | 24 | 77 |
70,988 | Magnesium citrate | constipation | "I had been constipated over a week. The last two days were very bad and I had pushed so much I ruptured a hemorrhoid (that I got from pushing etc) and had bleeding. I was completely swollen and sore. I tried a saline enema and another the next morning. Stool softeners with laxative both days but no help. Mineral oil laxative and again no help. I was nauseated sick and very sore. I was about ready to go to the ER when a pharmacist recommended trying this. I drunk 8 of the 10 oz. Tasted okay. After the first 8 oz I was too nauseated to finish. After 1 hr it softened enough to push. After another hour I was vomiting but also able to use the bathroom and it was liquid every 15 min for about an hour. Woke up and had more liquid stool but feel great." | 10 | February 22, 2013 | 49 | 149 |
57,117 | MiraLax | constipation | "I have taken Miralax since I was 3 years old due to a medical condition. The product does what it should, but after about 3 years it acquired a flavor that I can't stand. I mix it with other drinks and over time it ruins those drinks for me also. If you can get past the flavor it is a miracle product." | 6 | May 1, 2013 | 57 | 62 |
76,716 | Lorcaserin | weight loss | "I started taking Belviq September 12th 2016 I weigh in at 332 pounds I weighed in today September 28 2016, 318 pounds just could not believe it gave me, slight headaches but I notice I cannot take 2 a day can only do one very strong to me if I, take two in one day i, dizzy comes along plus I, workout as well and thirsty for water my appetite is really decreased a lot I,give this pill thumbs up my doctor preferred me and encourage me to take them I don't like taking medications but he said this will be just right for you so far so good. And my insurance didn't cover it so I only paid $75 out of pocket." | 9 | September 28, 2016 | 20 | 123 |
129,459 | Levonorgestrel | emergency contraception | "I'm 22 years old and I took a generic version of this pill on 08/10, about 12 hours after we had unprotected sex. It's now been 9 days since I took the pill and voila my period came a week earlier than scheduled. Yay! My period came different somewhat lighter and no cramping. HOWEVER, this pill gave me an absolute nightmare I had a TERRIBLE migrane with nausea for 2 days I almost drove myself to the hospital!! Also I had mild cramping on and off before I got my period. Ladies this pill works if used correctly don't have sex right after and expect for it to work that's why it's called the MORNING AFTER PILL! P.S. I am 150 lbs and 5 feet tall and still worked for me. :)" | 6 | August 20, 2015 | 4 | 132 |
84,504 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | acne | "DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL...After 7 days I lost kidney function and could not urinate after drinking 32 oz of water the night before. Had blood in the urine 3 weeks after I stopped taking this poison. My skin looked fabulous after the 1st day but if I'm dead, having clear skin won't matter." | 1 | October 18, 2016 | 1 | 54 |
85,053 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "I just finished my first month of being on the pill. I must say at first everything was going well. After reading some of the reviews I was a bit nervous trying this new method. I didn't have any cramping,nausea,fatigue, etc. Now that I'm at the end on the month I started my period (AGAIN) and I've been on for two weeks now. At first it started off as spotting so I didn't really care much (before being on this method my periods were horrible). Now going into my second week,the bleeding is heavier than expected. It sucks. I mean who wants to be on their period for two weeks and heavy bleeding at that. I guess there's no such thing as a perfect birth control method." | 5 | December 8, 2015 | 0 | 127 |
13,857 | Bydureon | diabetes, type 2 | "I am on my third injection of Bydureon. The needle is huge and the med burns going in, and bleeds after. No problems with injection site till this week I noticed a small pea-sized bump at the first injection site on my stomach. The first two weeks my morning sugars went up significantly to 190-200. Other side effects are diarrhea (which has resolved this week), bloating and a very uncomfortable full feeling, and some random stomach pain. This week numbers starting to come down to 145-155, but still higher than when on my previous med, Victoza, which made me very nauseous. Not losing weight. In fact, am up 2 lbs. Hope this turns around in the next couple of weeks." | 4 | April 27, 2016 | 9 | 120 |
204,962 | Toradol | pain | "From reading these I can see everyone is different. For me, on an IV drip, it completely eliminated the pain, gone. Taking pills after the Torodol wore off did nothing. Eventually threw them all up and went back to the ER." | 10 | August 30, 2015 | 14 | 41 |
70,754 | Abacavir / dolutegravir / lamivudine | hiv infection | "I was diagnosed as HIV positive on April 9, 2015 and had my first appointment with a ID doctor on April 29, 2015. My CD4 was at 536 and my viral load at 197,689. I began taking Triumeq on June 1 and after only 30 days my blood work came back with my CD4 at 1192 and my viral load was undetectable. I never had any side effects since being on Triumeq. I have great insurance and with the patient savings card I pay nothing. I am 55 years old and am very healthy with high energy and never missed a day of work in over 15 years. Triumeq is definitely a HIV wonder drug that I would highly recommend to anyone living with this disease." | 10 | July 15, 2015 | 34 | 126 |
69,388 | Buprenorphine | chronic pain | "I have nerve damage in my brachial plexus. Also I've had cubital tunnel and carpel tunnel surgery. Nerve pain is aweful, it's constant and it's exhausting. I've had the pain for over 10 years and I've been on every thing from Vicodin, percocette, opana, dilauded and OxyContin....my pain doctor and I switch meds every few months due to my building a tolerance. I usually take 60mg OxyContin x 3 daily, sometimes switching to morphine 15mgx 4 daily. We decided to try Belbucca; HUGE mistake. It did nothing for pain and the stomach issues were the same as everyone else's. I'm going back on OxyContin in a week." | 1 | September 26, 2016 | 14 | 107 |
57,690 | Acetaminophen / hydrocodone | back pain | "I found Norco to be highly effective in keeping my back, shoulder, and neck pain under control and still allowing me to function as a professional (at least for the most part). I have taken Norco on and off over the last three years due to a series of accidents. I have taken Norco as my only source of pain medication, and, I found it was pretty easy for me to leave behind once the the injury was healed. I had two surgeries this summer (June and July). I began taking Norco in April, and had shoulder surgery in June and continued on the Norco. In July I had spinal surgery and was put on Dilaudid and MS Contin for four weeks. At the end of the four weeks my withdrawal symptoms were exceedingly painful, both physically and mentally." | 10 | August 30, 2015 | 54 | 139 |
111,529 | Cipro | urinary tract infection | "Took just one tablet, I was rushed to hospital I could not even pick my hand up. Sadly someone gave me a 2nd dose in hospital the next day, 20 mins later I went into.. ANAPHYLAXIS SHOCK .. I had 8 Drs round my bed doing so many things. Thank GOD for those 8 Drs ACTING so FAST. Had I not been in hospital that day. I would not be here now to tell my Story. I was told is was a very close call even though I was in hospital.
This was a truly Terrifying thing to happen. I am now so scared to take any antibiotic.

155,318 | Metronidazole | bacterial vaginitis | "I was recently put on this medicine because of BV. I am 8 weeks pregnant. Orally, I became super sick and got switched to the vaginal use. STILL got really sick. No, I didn't take it on an empty stomach. I couldn't keep anything down, everytime I stood up I had a feeling I was going to faint, and made me bleed thinking I miscarried. I am in high school still and the school threatened my graduation because of the amount of days I missed due to being sick on Flagyl. Does anyone know if this has happened to them or know of any substitutions?" | 1 | October 7, 2015 | 3 | 105 |
145,799 | Qsymia | weight loss | "Just started Qsymia 9/24/13 weighing in @ 239lbs as of this morning 10/4/13 I weighed in at 232.6lbs. Eating a little healthier, smaller meals more frequently only drinking water or freshly brewed unsweetened Tea, no carbonated beverages, nothing with high fructose corn syrup and nothing with any artificial sweeteners. And I have to be honest I am no by any means a gym person I haven't stepped foot in a gym in years, however I do stay very active with housework inside and outside of the home, which after a while is exercise in itself. Also I find I can go on very little sleep, I am full of energy and feel great. This is a miracle in my book. Good luck everyone." | 10 | October 4, 2013 | 80 | 123 |
119,684 | Topicort | psoriasis | "Entire palms of my hands and fingertips in the exact same locations become afflicted with hard skin then cracks making it very painful & extremely difficult for work and do normal activities. Prescribed Betamethasone Valerate 0.1% & had no effect, appeared to make the condition worse. Dermatologist took skin graph with positive test results for psoriasis. I was then Prescribed Topicort and used it twice a day, once in the morning & once at night for two weeks. What a relief ! My skin cleared up completely ! No cracks, No peeling skin, No redness & my hands actually feel pliable again. This lasts for maybe 3 weeks and I will begin to get hardening of palms and finger tips again and have to complete another two week cycle of Topicort." | 10 | October 18, 2016 | 5 | 131 |
185,040 | Harvoni | hepatitis c | "Six Weeks into 8 week treatment. Experienced no side effects in the beginning. I do not like water and slowly stopped drinking it as much. Later (in 5 wk) side effects increased(flu like symptoms, nausea, fatigue, moody). Always uncomfortable, I was forced to get back into the habit of drinking water. It actually helped with the discomfort of the side effects. The same day I started back again, drinking lots of water I NOTICED A BIG DIFFERENCE" | 10 | January 2, 2017 | 22 | 77 |
133,087 | Tri-Sprintec | acne | "I'm 19 years old. I've been struggling with cystic acne for about a year and a half now; my problem area being my cheeks . I've been on tri-sprintec for a little over a month.. Can't say I've seen any drastic changes but I feel like it's slowly taking effect (or I just might be desperate for results). I know they say it's 2-3 months for results so I'm remaining hopeful. The only downside I've noticed while taking this pill is that It might've made me break out under and around my jawline which was new for me. Also, I snack way too often now which might be making my breakouts a little excessive when that time of the month comes around." | 5 | June 8, 2015 | 0 | 122 |
182,719 | Cymbalta | anxiety | "It's amazing. Zero side effects. I feel "Normal". These reviews scared me but my Dr encouraged me to try for myself and see.
Lexapro put 10 kilos on me.
Edeonax made me the sickest I have ever been in my life and was a bloody nightmare. After that ordeal I was so scared to take Cymbalta.
My energy is amazing now.
Anxiety, panic attacks and social anxiety feel mild but manageable- like I have a chance." | 10 | June 8, 2017 | 48 | 76 |
2,426 | Metformin | insulin resistance syndrome | "Metformin is helping me drastically in that it controls my insulin resistance. First side effects were gas and diarreah, and some bad breath, but those have gone away. I recommend this to anyone who has sugar problems!" | 8 | May 15, 2009 | 138 | 37 |
157,783 | Accutane | acne | "Hi everyone! This is my second month of taking Accutane. I am taking 40 mg doses a day, and by far I have noticed that along with my severe cystic acne, I used to have a lot of comedones (small white hard substance which if pinched comes out like a hard thread like thing) around my chin and nose area. It used to look disgusting as it gave a grainy and cactus like appearance, but thanks to isotretinoin, I am completely rid of comedones. But I still have occasional breakout and have about 8 big cysts on my face which still need to dry up. I am a big time squeezer and don't know how to stop myself from doing that. Will update after two more months.
I give an 8/10 as of now.

24,327 | Uloric | gout | "I've been on Uloric for about 3 years now. Have NOT had 1 flare-up since, and it's also lowered my uric acid level in my blood. I've been on the A & C meds for gout and they did nothing to help. Uloric is a miracle in my opinion. Very happy with it. They also have a discount coupon for it, which will lower what you pay for it." | 10 | May 15, 2013 | 37 | 69 |
10,394 | Spironolactone | acne | "I was prescribed this medication to deal with having break outs monthly on my chin from hormones. I've been taking this for only a week. Let me tell you first that my body is very responsive to anything I put in it. I usually have one, MAX two bumps per month on my chin, in one week I literally have FIVE knot pimples on my chin. Not a big deal to you, but I'm 28 and have been super consistent with my breakouts, I have them down to a science. I'll be discontinuing this medication as of today. Sad because I truly had high hopes for future super clear skin, I'm glad it showed itself early." | 1 | July 16, 2017 | 2 | 116 |
201,069 | Zoloft | obsessive compulsive disorde | "I started on 25mg and went up to 50mg/day for a relapse of pure-obsessional OCD. It took about a month for it to start working but this drug in combination with learning the principles of Exposure Response Prevention Therapy (ERP Therapy) - a type of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) have allowed me to regain control of my mind.
The depression that came with the relapse vanished in two weeks, anxiety and intrusive thoughts slowly dissipated/reduced in intensity about a month afterwards. I feel normal again and I couldn't be happier.
If you're one of the unlucky folks who have been blessed with OCD, give sertraline (Zoloft) a shot. Just make sure to combine it with therapy otherwise it won't be as effective." | 9 | March 29, 2017 | 21 | 122 |
142,684 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "All these awful reviews. I thought I'd share my positive experience. After lots of reading I decided to go with the mirena IUD. I was two months Post baby when I hard it inserted, for me I felt the speculum was more uncomfortable (10 weeks post baby) then the actual insertion. I didn't have any dizziness, I bleed for a couple days (but it was no more then a period), I also didn't need to take any pain meds, I have no weight gain or change in my skin. Since my period hadn't come back at that point I only had the couple days of bleeding. I'm 2 years into having my IUD and I haven't had a period to date. I still feel like I get PMS from time to time and I've have had some lite bleeding on occasion. But it's been a great form of birth control." | 9 | August 10, 2017 | 9 | 150 |
168,165 | Jolessa | birth control | "It took 2 months for my body to adjust to the pill. I spotted frequently during those 2 months. I experienced some mood changes which is a side effect. It got bad enough that I had to switch to a different birth control. I couldn't handle the constant "sad" feeling. If it hadn't have been for that experience, I would've stayed on Jolessa." | 7 | March 2, 2012 | 9 | 63 |
38,524 | Liletta | birth control | "Updated Review: I had Liletta inserted at the end of March and had high hopes for it, as this was my first time using birth control and it seemed like a wonderful idea. The insertion was painful and I did have light cramping for the next three days or so but nothing I couldn't handle. However, two weeks after insertion, I started noticing extreme bloating, followed by excruciating stomach pains, back pain and strong stabbing pains under my ribs. These symptoms landed me in the ER three times, while various blood tests and a sonogram were conducted with no abnormal results found.I had the IUD removed a month later and my body has gradually reverted back to normal.I would not recommend this device due to the extreme side effects I experienced" | 1 | June 30, 2017 | 0 | 131 |
231,337 | Trazodone | anxiety | "I was taking Xanax for many years to treat my anxiety. New guidelines, however, said I couldn't continue because of the pain medicines I take and fear of overdose. My doctor prescribed Trazadone. I was hesitant at first but I took it because I wasn't sleeping. It works great! I can't believe I like it even better than the Xanax! While on Xanax I still had anxiety but this med has really helped both anxiety and insomnia." | 9 | May 9, 2017 | 82 | 77 |
60,610 | Claravis | acne | "The medicine was wonderful up until 7 months after I stopped taking the medicines (6 month treatment). The acne came back full blown after the seven months of being off the medication. My dermatologist said we should not try the medicine again because the cystic acne must be hormonal. No one told me prior too taking the medicine that if it were hormonal the medicines would not work. " | 3 | August 31, 2011 | 18 | 69 |
79,736 | Xarelto | pulmonary embolism | "Long story short--left hospital in continual pain labelled as anxiety only to return two days later. They found the clot thanks to CT with contrast. Had no problems with Lovenox at the hospital but during treatment someone decides to put me on Xarelto. I've been sick every day--felt as if I'm dying. Pleaded with hospital to switch medications now labeled a drug seeker--for seeking a different blood thinner? Pleaded with doctors and PCP & they're sticking with the Xarelto. I have a visible rash on my face & excruciating pain in limbs and back. After Spitting up blood & swollen tongue, discontinued. Tossed the medication. Was told to start back on the Xarelto. The problem isn't Xarelto. It's the doctors who refuse to listen to their patients." | 1 | May 10, 2017 | 25 | 127 |
110,354 | Nexplanon | birth control | "My daughter (21 yrs) had this awful drug inserted in her arm a year and a half ago. We just got it removed today after six months of trying to convince her doctor to remove it. She had to have 8 stitches and it was a very painful procedure. Since she had Nex inserted she has gained about 25 pounds, suffered from depression and anxiety, became anemic, broke out with body acne (she's never had acne, other than an occasional pimple in her teens), been to the ER and Doctor several times for ovarian cysts (never had them before) and bleeds three to four weeks straight every three months. Her attitude has been extremely negative to put it lightly. She is so tired and has no energy almost every day. I hope she recovers quickly!" | 1 | February 8, 2016 | 7 | 135 |
25,139 | Hylan g-f 20 | osteoarthritis | "I had a knee injury over 10 years ago and was told that later on, I would have Osteoarthritis. Well that time is here along with bone spurs on front & back of my knee. Most times I would just live with the pain but at times when it was most unbearable I would be taking Advil sometimes every other day. When my brother told me he had this injection after an ACL injury and how great it was, I decided to give it a try since my insurance covered it, okay then. I won't lie, the initial injection was painful only because I hate needles and it is not a fast injection because of the fluid being so thick you can almost feel it going in and around your knee cap but I will tell you this is the best thing I ever did. No pain at all, going on 3 weeks." | 9 | July 3, 2012 | 95 | 153 |
68,700 | Medroxyprogesterone | birth control | "Ten years ago I was on the 'depo' shot and instantly began experiencing massive bleeds like excessively severe periods. My dr said you just have heavy periods lets keep up with these shots! Well one day I woke up with a swollen stomach and started to pass out. When I made it to the hospital I had already lost OVER HALF my blood volume. I was operated on immediately. They told me the depo thinned the lining of my uterus to the point of having just open veins... so the lining would clot with all the blood which then forced it UP through my tubes and into my abdominal cavity (retrograde menstruation). coma! Then it caused a massive TUMOR on my liver that I can't have surgery on. THIS SHOT MUCKED MY LIFE UP." | 1 | January 19, 2017 | 7 | 134 |
129,903 | Levonorgestrel | emergency contraception | "I took Plan b after an unexpected unprotected sexual situation. After the fact I realized it was right around my fertile time. I went right to the store and purchased Plan B. I took it about an hour after sex. I am usually very sensitive to the hormones in oral contraceptives (that's why I don't take them) and I was very worried about the side effects. I was surprised, I had no side effects at all. I was concerned because I thought maybe it wasn't working because I had no cramping, headache, nausea, etc like the package said could happen. I calculated the day that I should get my next period and waited. I was sweating it the entire time! I ended up getting my period about 2 days earlier than expected...fine with me!!" | 10 | April 9, 2015 | 17 | 134 |
111,844 | Gianvi | birth control | "I love Gianvi! It has been effective with no side effects. My skin is clear, I have a sex drive, I didn't gain weight, and my periods are lighter. I can't say anything bad about this pill. Sadly have to quit it because my new insurance won't pay for it. " | 9 | May 10, 2013 | 7 | 51 |
139,544 | Armodafinil | chronic fatigue syndrome | "So far I love Nuvigil. I can actually go all day without needing to lay down in the afternoon. I suffer from Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue. I may need to bump it up as 150 mgs. does not seem to make me as awake as it did the first week. I like the way it makes me feel awake but not nervous and jittery like Ritalin did. I can now work a shift and actually come home and do chores around the house instead of lay down. I have had no side effects so far and have been on it a month." | 8 | October 23, 2009 | 98 | 102 |
143,853 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I got mine three years ago and literally just got back from having it removed. I bleed for the first 4-6 months regularly and was scared it would never stop (like some other people said theres never did) but I stuck it out and it stopped. In the past 5 months (ending of third year) I had a super light period three times. No changes in skin, possibly could have contributed to emotional distresses and weight gain but other things changed in my life too so I can not say definitively that it was the nexplanon. I think some people are too quick to give up on it because they contribute all their changes to it and don't factor in everything else that could be contributing to their symptoms (eating, exercise, drinking, etc.)." | 8 | September 12, 2016 | 9 | 133 |
190,548 | Butorphanol | pain | "My doctor prescribed me this medicine for my migraines. Although it worked great for the pain, it was extremely addictive. I started wanting it all the time time, even when I did not have a migraine because it made me feel so good. " | 9 | October 27, 2009 | 22 | 44 |
30,363 | Klonopin | anxiety | "Klonopin was prescribed to me when I first took my Risperdal. After a month and a half I stopped taking all my medication. When I was put back on Risperdal I wasn't put back on the Klonopin. That is when I found out that Klonopin is why I felt so good. I like it better than Ativan. If you ever need to stop recycling the same stressful thoughts that are killing you, Klonopin will help." | 10 | January 11, 2011 | 21 | 75 |
183,227 | Cymbalta | depression | "After 5 years on Cymbalta, I cannot say enough about its effectiveness. I really can't speak to the claims of pain relief, but as far as depression and anxiety, it's the best I can recommend. The insurance has tried several times to get my Dr to prescribe Celexa, or Effexor, but neither work like Cymbalta. Initially, I was a little spacy, and jittery, but those went away with time. I'd hate to have to pay for it as is. But, overall, I'd rather not take anything than to have to switch." | 10 | April 1, 2013 | 72 | 91 |
13,485 | Amphetamine / dextroamphetamine | narcolepsy | "I have narcolepsy and I take 20mg three times per day of quick release tabs. Mornings are great but mid to late afternoon I tend to nap and then take my last dose after last nap. Adderall helps great for keeping me awake and alert." | 10 | April 30, 2015 | 28 | 45 |
56,360 | Humira | psoriasis | "Humira has been the ONLY option for me. I have/had moderate Psoriasis covering approx 70% of my body with nail involvement. Humira even clears up my finger nails! I've been able to wear shorts and go swimming without being overwhelmingly self conscious for the first time in years! On a side note... I find that the old fashioned syringe is much less painful than the pen auto-injector. Hope this helps." | 9 | September 11, 2015 | 11 | 70 |
13,384 | Amphetamine / dextroamphetamine | adhd | "Since starting Adderall XR about 6 months ago, I am more focused and headstrong than ever. I can actually DO the things I used to enjoy, such as birdwatching (which requires extreme focus) and practicing music (again, extreme focus). Once my attention locks in, I'm good to go; which is a first! Furthermore, it seems to help with my emotions; I feel more balanced and self confident on it, I don't feel like such a "headcase" and so emotionally fragile. Kind of sort of a miracle drug. Did it make me suddenly do things I have been putting off, such as cleaning and sorting out paperwork? No. But can I clean and do paperwork with more patience and ease? Yeah. The only side effects I experienced that were negative was extreme appetite suppressment" | 10 | May 29, 2016 | 43 | 133 |
218,154 | Amoxicillin / clavulanate | sinusitis | "Took Amox/KClav for sinusitis. After 3 days caused severe back pain radiating through right side. Pain became so bad that I stopped med after 3.5 days. Was told by nurse and pharmacist likely due to kidneys' being adversely affected. Called dr who ordered lowered dose who believes GI affected. Pain still so bad and refuse to take any meds until pain subsides as symptoms of med is far worse than sinusitis." | 1 | November 16, 2016 | 7 | 71 |
129,621 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I had the skyla inserted after my mirena fell out after a year. I personally like the skyla and as pp stated take a pain reliver before going I took something and still felt pain but not as bad. I've also noticed that I'm full quicker so I'm eating a lot less. The only thing that I don't like is that I've been seeming to have a little more depression not sure of this is a side effect but I'm going to keep an eye on it" | 10 | June 25, 2015 | 3 | 87 |
102,322 | Clindamycin / tretinoin | acne | "About 2 months ago my skin started to break out really bad out of no where. I have had breakouts in the past but nothing like this. At first I thought it was an allergic reaction. I work in the operating room and wear surgical masks most of the day. I decided to go to the dermatologist and she prescribed me Ziana. She told me I had adult acne and that it was not an allergic reaction.Within one week my skin was much clearer. It has now been 2 weeks and the results have been great. A small amount on dry skin here and there but that is the only complaint. I am very pleased and hope the great results continue." | 9 | March 9, 2014 | 30 | 121 |
130,218 | Levonorgestrel | emergency contraception | "Had unprotected sex the day I was ovulating. Within 12 hours I took Plan B. Five days later I had a bad backache and woke up with cramping and what I guess was heavy spotting that lasted about 3 days. My period was due on a Tuesday but started that Saturday (5 days late). The only real side effect besides the spotting was I was very irritable the week leading up to my period and I never ever have PMS. I would recommend this highly if you get yourself into a similar situation. Of course condoms, BCP, IUD etc… are a much better option." | 10 | May 10, 2014 | 11 | 104 |
65,717 | Propranolol | mance anxiety | "I see a lot of positive reviews here however I'm not so positive about propranolol it did great Job controlling my heart palpitations and I'm thankful for that, I had really bad heart beats in some occasions my heart would go insanely fast, but I'm still feeling anxious the anxiety still there, also i want to mention the only side effect I had was at night when I was about to fall asleep i would jump out my bed like I'm having panic attack! It turned out it was a single and a random heart beat, i acknowledged it when I was laying on my couch, it felt scary to be honest my first thought was a heart attack after like 2 weeks it never happened again. So I guess this medicine may work for physical symptom of anxiety not sure about thoughts." | 6 | September 12, 2016 | 1 | 143 |
230,526 | Depo-Provera | birth control | "During the nine months I was on the shot I had a constant period, sometimes heavy, sometimes light. I was tired all the time and began to have suicidal thoughts, which I've never had before. I had crazy mood swings and would start crying for no reason at all. I switched to Nuvaring and all my symptoms have gone away. I know the shot works for many people, but clearly it's not for me!" | 5 | December 25, 2012 | 19 | 74 |
160,244 | Rivaroxaban | deep vein thrombosis, recurrent event | "Put on Xarelto 2 mos ago. for dvt in left leg. 3rd such occurrence. Have a genetic disorder for blood clots. Only had mild headaches. As for the stomach problem, after reading info on this drug found out it has lactose in it. So being lactose intolerant I bought some pills for this condition, and take it before I swallow my pill. Works fine. No more stomach problems. My one concern here is when I cut myself I do not bleed anymore than I did before. So am wondering if this med is working for me." | 8 | July 7, 2015 | 15 | 96 |
70,981 | Magnesium citrate | constipation | "Took about 3 hrs to work. It feels like I had to pass gas. Good thing I went to the toilet before I did! Cherry flavor was great. Taste like cherry sour candy. I would definitely use this again!" | 10 | October 11, 2013 | 52 | 39 |
224,494 | Levothyroxine | underactive thyroid | "The first two days of taking the medicine, I experienced body aches all over, headaches, thus, I took aspirin in the evening to try to alleviate the pain. The third day and beyond, I felt/feel more energized, no headaches, no backaches, mental clarity, and just relieved. I say you have to give the medicine time to kick in and get in your system. I am thankful." | 10 | December 30, 2014 | 77 | 66 |

I do not have the weight gain that I would get every month 10 days before my period and mood swings and the overwhelming feeling of unattractiveness 10 days before my period went away, one side effect that was odd was insomnia and only one panic attack. I'm not sure if the insomnia or panic attack is related to Yaz because I had both 3 to 4 years ago but it went away. I am 35 years old and have never used the pill before taking Yaz." | 6 | November 23, 2009 | 7 | 103 |
165,658 | Levonorgestrel | emergency contraception | "Like most of the reasons for sharing this post is so that most of you girls can relax. I took the pill after 48 hours of unprotected sex. Me and my boyfriend did the pull out method and he was sure he did not come in me however I was still worried about precum. Six days after being stressed out later and my period has just arrived. My only side effects was lower abdominal mild cramping.

109,629 | Nexplanon | birth control | "Of all birth control methods I've tried (depo, pill, condoms, mirena iud) this is by far the most effective and least stressful for me.

Also on Fentanyl pain patch, Norco, and Flexeril daily for herniated discs C3-C7, T3, L1. Lyrica significantly improves my pain and migraine recurrance; however, it is likely the cause of memory loss and slower thought process. I teach high school and college courses, am the parent of five young adults, and am sole breadwinner and insurance provider. I intend to reduce my Lyrica and pray I can manage increased pain better than memory loss or dementia, two common side effects of Lryica. Female, 53 yrs. Check Pfizer patient assistance programs on web to defray costs. I got free Lyrica when needed. No weight gain." | 5 | July 23, 2015 | 65 | 127 |
205,199 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I've had Nexplanon for just a few months now and my only issue is the constant bleeding. After it was inserted, I didn't bleed for about 2 weeks, then all of a sudden, I have been spotting/breakthrough bleeding for about two months now. It is really putting stain on my relationship. It can be really lite, then get heavy. I'm going to give it a couple more months, but if this continues, I will definitely have to reconsider it and try another BC method." | 5 | May 16, 2017 | 3 | 84 |
73,478 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | acne | "I have taken Lo Loestrin 24 for about 2 months now. I have had migraines, nausea and fatigue non stop. I only had one very light period since I started this pill. I have had horrible face and body acne since I started Loestrin, I feel 16 again! I have had a significant appetite increase and mid section bloating. However I will continue with it one more month and see If my symptoms clear up" | 6 | September 19, 2013 | 21 | 75 |
137,310 | Isotretinoin | acne | "I went on Accutane when I was 18 years old. You have to be on birth control before and have 2 negative pregnancy tests before being prescribed Accutane. Then you have to be tested every month for pregnancy. It took me about 6 months to actually begin the treatment. You need to be very strict and diligent about taking it. You will NOT starting seeing any improvement for at least 6 months (I was on it for a year) and your acne might get a little worse before it gets better. My skin did clear up a lot after I was on it. However, 4 years later it all came back for some reason. Side effects include: very dry skin (face, hands, feet, etc.) I would recommend it for anyone who has moderate to severe acne." | 5 | September 19, 2012 | 8 | 136 |
149,486 | Mirena | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I am 40. I had to change my birth control pills when I got 40. They weren't strong enough for me because I bled real heavy and for 7 days and every other week. So I decided to let my OB/GYN insert the Mirena which she had tried to get me to get before trying those lighter birth control pills. Its only been a week but I love not having to think about taking pill. Also I was on my period when it was inserted, my period became light the same day and was for three days. For me the placement was a 3 on a scale of 1-10 with pain. But my cervix is push far back & to the side and they had to pull it towards them to place it and that pain was a 7. So far no regrets only wish I had did it sooner. " | 8 | July 1, 2013 | 45 | 151 |

My periods have gotten lighter only lasting about 4 days and I have had little to no cramps. I never gained any weight and my breasts were never tender. Though, one side effect that I did always seem to have was yeast infections. Also, if the pill was missed or taken late, then it made me very nauseated and I had to miss class a few times. Overall, it was a great birth control but I am now switching to Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo." | 6 | October 18, 2010 | 3 | 112 |
21,239 | Focalin XR | adhd | "I got diagnosed with ADHD and this is my first medicine. It helps me focus but the side effects make me miserable. I'm starving right now but I don't want to eat and my throat is dry. I can't sleep and this side effect makes it worse because I have asthma and severe allergies so I can't sleep and I have twitches bad. I twitch my left shoulder blade a lot now and sometimes it wont stop." | 4 | January 18, 2013 | 35 | 77 |

104,878 | Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel | birth control | "I have been on Aviane for a month now. I switched from Yaz because I felt like Yaz was making me very emotional. I was off the pill for a month and then started taking Aviane, the first two weeks I was super emotional and I broke out pretty bad and I hardly ever break out. However, my skin is clearing up and my emotional state is much better than before. I think it just takes a body a little while to get used to this pill. I did not gain any weight which is nice." | 8 | January 25, 2010 | 20 | 96 |
196,308 | Eszopiclone | insomnia | "Recently I got married and my insurance changed. The new insurance would not pay for the sleeping medicine I have been on the last two years. They said I had to try Lunesta, Ambien or one other before they would approve it. Last night made one full week that I was on Lunesta. Here are the reasons why I HATE it.
1. My mouth gets dry
2. In the morning my mouth tastes like I've been drinking spoiled milk.
3. I am so very depressed I take anti depressants already
4. I am so exhausted I do not feel like I can function.
5. I do not stay asleep.
6. I feel like the entire world could implode around me and I still would not care.
This medicine is by far the worst thing I've ever been on. I wouldn't even recommend this medication to anyone!!!" | 1 | October 17, 2017 | 3 | 146 |
11,305 | Telmisartan | high blood pressure | "I took this medicine 2 years ago for about a month because of my other hypertension medicines were causing rashes. After a couple of medicines were recommended, I took Micardis and although it lowered my pressure some, I was waking up every two hours at night. So I switched to several other medications that also did not work well. I told my MD I would try Micardis again because the side effects were less than all other medicines I had tried. So far (8 months) my pressure is better and the insomnia is workable and not so constant." | 5 | August 2, 2010 | 51 | 98 |
124,138 | Skyla | birth control | "I got Skyla inserted about two weeks ago, while I was on my period. It was difficult for the doctor to find my cervix which made the procedure VERY painful. The next couple days I had terrible cramps. Now all I'm dealing with is light spotting and an occasional bad cramp. The spotting is very annoying though! If that goes away soon then it was definitely worth it." | 8 | April 22, 2016 | 2 | 68 |
227,988 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I have had Implanon for three years now and have an appointment next week to have it removed. I'm looking forward to it! Reasons being: since Implanon my sex drive is gone..and I'm only 24 years old! This has cause BAD problems with my marriage and has nearly caused divorce on more than one occasion. The past 3 years have been horrible with this side effect. After doing research I have found that this may be permanent even after Implanon being removed. Another side effect that I have is severe depression. I have struggled with depression before Implanon but it has made it worse. I have also experienced fatigue. The only good thing about Implanon is the fact it has kept me from getting pregnant." | 1 | November 17, 2010 | 26 | 125 |
31,363 | Miconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "Reading these reviews is the only thing keeping me sane. Day 1 of monistat 7... It's been about an hour and the burning is slightly tolerable now. I was crying and writhing in pain within minutes of application. The itching was intolerable for about 20 minutes now it's just burning. Pure vagina torture. I don't know what to do next but I refuse to put myself through this again. I'm actually feeling fond feelings for my YI right now... Would rather have those symptoms than this." | 1 | August 3, 2016 | 3 | 86 |

I suffered several fractures to the skull, sub-arachnoid hematoma (resolved itself) in addition to a broken spine. I was initially taking Norco 10/325 4 x daily, which worked fine at the time, then my Syrinx began presenting symptoms; mainly horrid pain at the site of it (C3-T2). Tramadol 50mg was added in addition to Zanaflex and Xanax for the accompanying exacerbation of anxiety, but still in pain. This medicine is short acting and not sufficient for SM sufferers." | 4 | January 13, 2012 | 10 | 108 |

I wanted to do things and not just be home all the time. But recently I have relapsed and went up on my dose from 300mg to 450mg and still feel depressed. I don't know if my body is just tolerating it or what but I hope my depression improves." | 6 | July 2, 2012 | 42 | 89 |

My last Lipid panel before starting 20mg of Atorvastatin daily was: Total Cholesterol: 290; HDL: 43; LDL: 210; Non-HDL: 247; Triglycerides: 185. 8 months later after the atorvastatin, Total: 189; HDL: 47; LDL:114; Non HDL: 142; Triglycerides: 138. Zero side effects except for some weight gain that I can't totally pin back to the medication, and my Doc wants to up my dosage to 40MG per day to bring everything down another 25% or so, and to try to get my HDL into the 50s. Perfect drug for me." | 10 | September 25, 2017 | 5 | 137 |

I feel like a lot of the bad comments are due to the gyno that they choose to go to. Do your research first, call the office and ask if they have experience putting IUDs in, what you should know beforehand, and how long the doctor that will be doing the procedure on you has been doing it.
During the procedure, it HURT like a lot, and it kept hurting. But me not having kids and not being on my period didn't really help. After, I took some Tylenol 3, put on a pad, and drove home. That day, I had mild cramping and spotting. The day after was like nothing happened. 5 days later and I don't even remember that it's there." | 8 | June 22, 2017 | 1 | 145 |
509 | Medroxyprogesterone | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I've had DEPO PROVERA for about two years, for the first couple of months I was bleeding like crazy, then it lightened up to only spotting occasionally and bleeding the week my next shot was due. I gained 5 pounds throughout the two years which was not bad but recently I've been bleeding for almost a week straight it kind of sucks because I have a boyfriend and I want to have sex, I just have to deal with maybe the next time I'll get the shot it won't be as bad. If the bleeding continues as it does now I might just go back on the pill." | 7 | August 10, 2014 | 18 | 108 |
200,448 | Varenicline | smoking cessation | "During the first week of taking Chantix, I smoked. I did not notice any decrease in my desire to smoke but noticed a significant increase in my tiredness. The beginning of the second week of Chantix, I quit smoking all together. The tiredness was still there and after taking the pill I would have nausea for a short time. It didn't matter if I had just eaten or not. I also became moody, depressed, short-tempered and just generally felt down. I stopped taking the pill today, which has been 2 1/2 weeks on the pill. I'm hoping for no worsening of my mood and energy level." | 4 | August 8, 2012 | 6 | 106 |
153,111 | Doxycycline | acne | "It works like MAGIC but as soon as you stop taking it, the acne comes back so once you take it you will have to stick to it for a really long time unfortunately which is not good for overall well being" | 9 | March 11, 2016 | 11 | 42 |
152,414 | Ciprofloxacin | urinary tract infection | "Eased the symptoms of urinary tract infection in 2 days. Side effects are pretty bad though. I was prescribed the 500 mg twice a day, and every time I've taken the pill I feel extremely nauseous for at least an hour or two. I'm only on the second day and I feel so sick after taking it, and have vomited once because of it. I have followed the instructions and taken it with food every time. These side effects just seem unavoidable for me." | 5 | February 7, 2013 | 14 | 84 |
162,111 | Benzoyl peroxide | acne | "This product works wonders! I've suffered from acne since I was 12 years old, and at 22 I still suffered from constant breakouts. Luckily, my dermatologist recommended this cream and it has worked wonders for my skin. It not only cleared up my breakouts, but I think it prevents new ones from forming because I've hardly had any since using. I highly recommend it to anyone suffering from acne." | 9 | January 8, 2016 | 21 | 69 |
193,826 | Hydrocodone | pain | "After taking Hydrocodone for chronic pain for many years, I continued to complain of being uninterested in sexual intercourse, burning during ejaculation, and burning my wife during ejaculation. I have weaned myself off the drug and have noticed these symptoms are going away. Many doctors denied the fact that this drug would cause these problems, but I am happy to say now that I am off Hydrocodone, sex is almost back to normal." | 9 | March 1, 2016 | 20 | 73 |
