78,617 | Daytrana | adhd | "My 6 year old daughter was put on Daytrana about 8 months after trying Vyvanse and Strattera without success. We had immediate results. She was focused and even her handwriting improved. The patch did leave a red mark that I found Eucerin cream was good for. Here is the but: She developed a tic. Don't let this discourage you. I know of others on Daytrana who have been taking it for over a year with no tics. It really worked great." | 9 | April 28, 2009 | 22 | 81 |
81,328 | Yaz | birth control | "I have been on Yaz for 3 years now and it really helped with a lot of things. My mild acne cleared up and I have beautiful skin, and before Yaz I had very irregular periods that would last for 2 weeks at a time. Yaz controlled my period and I only have it for about 3-4 days and it is very light. I do get moody while taking the white pills (last 4 pills) and I hate everything, but I've always been like that and it only lasts a few days. It has helped a great deal in preventing pregnancy, since I don't always use condoms. I would definitely recommend this pill." | 10 | December 27, 2014 | 12 | 113 |
93,017 | Vortioxetine | depression | "I am taking 70 mg of Vyvanse and also taking Contrave (which contains Wellbutrin). I was feeling ok, but multiple tragedies kept me in a severe state of depression, anxiety and overwhelming sense of apathy. every day I wanted to die. The dr gave me some samples of this med to take with current meds, and last night was the first time I took it. I did feel nauseous, but my doc had told me to take it at night and with food, so that helped since I went to bed once I started feeling sick. I woke up with so much energy. I actually sprung out of bed ready to take on the day, and looked forward to it. I was shocked that it had such a fast effect, but so happy because it's been a really long time since I've felt this good. Hoping it will last." | 9 | August 26, 2016 | 127 | 149 |
112,291 | Gabapentin | ibromyalgia | "I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in March. The past 3 months I have been experiencing severe hip pain radiating down my leg. If I slept on my side (which is the side I favored) the pain would become so bad it woke me during the night. Consequently I have not had a good nights sleep in months. Went to my rheumatologist who suggested I tried gabapentin prescribed 1 pill 600mg for four days than 2 pills 600mg per day will be starting 3 pills per day. I can honestly say what a huge difference this had made. The pain is almost gone and I sleep through the night. Also with little know side effects . I will continue with this drug for as long as I need too." | 9 | December 31, 2016 | 55 | 128 |
59,491 | Avelox | prostatitis | "Started taking for Prostatitis for 20 days. I went to the gym which I was never told I shouldn't do, the next day tendon damage in wrists, fingers, elbow, shoulder and sternum. Been 6 days since the pain and still no relief, took 14 of the tablets and stopped. Hoping it goes soon as unable to work due to being a tradesman. Taking everything very carefully as do not want these issues with my leg, ankle and feet tendons. Oh and Prostatitis not cleared up." | 1 | December 29, 2013 | 18 | 85 |
158,698 | Methylphenidate | adhd | "I was 31 years old before I began taking Ritalin. I take a small dose, 10mg in the morning and 10mg early afternoon. I wish I had been prescribed this medicine years ago. I drive a truck for a living but I also do a lot of self study (audio and printed books) and Ritalin has greatly increased my productivity with the latter and safety with the former. I experience VERY few side effects. My mind used to wander quite often, I just thought I had an active imagination, but it was a problem. I have not lost my ability to imagine or abstract yet I have lost of tendency to wander aimlessly into unrelated thought. I have also lost my ability to get lost so often while driving!" | 10 | December 14, 2011 | 38 | 129 |
115,551 | Propofol | anesthesia | "Had this with versed for my upper/lower endoscopy today. It was wonderful! I wasn't drowsy today and I have no adverse reaction. The only thing that I didn't like was that the versed burned when they started it. I wouldn't do another endoscopy without the propofol again." | 10 | September 18, 2012 | 6 | 47 |
22,057 | Infliximab | crohn's disease, maintenance | "I am a 16 year old male, and was diagnosed with Crohn's disease when I was 8. I have only been on Remicade for about 8 months, but have not seen much of a difference. My energy has stayed the same, and I haven't grown any. Improvements have been that I don't have the morning cramps that I usually get, and my appetite has grown. I went from 135 pounds before the infusions to 145 pounds. I have a bloody nose at least three times a week, I now catch stomach viruses a lot easier now, and I feel dizzy/lightheaded often. Overall I guess it's working, I will do an update when I have been on the medicine longer." | 7 | April 26, 2011 | 34 | 119 |
223,142 | Estradiol | postmenopausal symptoms | "This refers to the Mylan estradiol twice weekly patches. After 16 comfortable years using Vivelle Dot estradiol patches, I was supplied by Express Scripts with the new, supposedly "generic" Mylan estradiol transdermal dot patches in the same strength, 0.025 mg. During the 4 1/2 weeks I used the Mylan product, I developed hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog and urinary tract infections. I could not understand what was wrong until I recalled that my symptoms began when I started the Mylan product. I found out that Vivelle Dots are still under patent. Mylan patented its own competing transdermal patch in order not to infringe the Novertis patent. It is NOT the same product. A return to Vivelle Dots solved my problem." | 1 | June 12, 2015 | 55 | 121 |
6,499 | Wellbutrin XL | depression | "I started taking Wellbutrin XL August of 2016. After starting this drug, I had the motivation and desire to go out and change my life! As a man, this drug drastically increased my sex drive! Which was a huge relief! That first day and all that night all I could dream about was sex - Everything was much "bigger" too. I think because Wellbutrin increased my blood flow and heart rate. This went on for about two weeks until everything levelled out. However, my sex drive still remained more elevated. The only negative side effects I had were extreme migraines those same two weeks. I think I also lost a lot of weight but I'm not sure how much. I was the skinniest I had ever been at that time." | 10 | September 15, 2017 | 16 | 130 |
119,760 | Ambien CR | insomnia | "My mother is 88 and has had a problem with Ambien for the four or so years she has started taking it. She ran over a bunch of signs in the middle of the highway with no memory of it. She got lost twice before we realized it was the Ambien and not Dementia. I keep it away from her and administer it each night. She is like a drug addict as she has reported her pills lost and got duplicate prescriptions sent to her. I think it is too strong for older people!" | 3 | January 19, 2010 | 26 | 94 |
197,491 | Paroxetine | social anxiety disorde | "I also have been living with social anxiety for 7 years. After drinking alcohol to cover my anxiety and depression, my symptoms just got worse. I finally looked into lorazepam but I got a dose of 2 mg and it just knocked me out. Then I got Xanax 0.25mg and that made my face numb and I didn't like to smile, mainly my face felt weird and I was always to tired. Then finally I got 20mg Paxil and it helped right away. I felt like I could do and talk to anyone at anytime. Then I got used to it and jumped to the 30 mg which is doing alright. But the worst part of using this is constipation. I never had constipation before and it hurts so bad. I hope this helps." | 7 | August 29, 2009 | 59 | 134 |
123,663 | Skyla | birth control | "So I will start by saying that I read these reviews days before getting my IUD inserted and after reading some I was terrified. I thought it was going to be the worst pain in my entire life. I went in to the doctor's terrified with a list of questions &an Ibuprofen 800 in my system. My doctor is great so she calmed me down and answered everything. Before I knew it I was done & good to go. It was one of the easiest things I have ever had done and the worst pain (just an uncomfortable cramp) was when she used the tool to hold my cervix in place, the IUD itself was nothing after that pinch. I know everyone is different but figured I'd let others know that it's not that bad for everyone and I'm so thankful I got it." | 9 | March 24, 2017 | 7 | 144 |
158,999 | TriNessa | birth control | "I've been on this for a month and a half. At first it made me nauseous everyday but just in the mornings. I take the pill at dinner time. The nausea has gone away the second month. It seemed like my boobs did get fuller. But my mood swings were bad! First month I felt like I hated everyone especially my fiancé. Felt more depressed then usual and wanted to cry a lot. I knew I was being moody and stuck with pill another month to
see if my mood leveled out. So far in my second month I am still extra sensitive and cry easily." | 7 | May 7, 2016 | 9 | 106 |
110,487 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I got my implant put in December 9 ,2015 and today is January 4,2016 my last period wasn't a period I mainly spotted and agreed for about week and half I discharge brown discharge and a few head aches still have few head aches I've also gained weight just a few pounds so far I like it I would refer it to anyone who doesn't want kids for the next 3 years" | 8 | January 4, 2016 | 0 | 72 |
144,811 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "It does as it should: it prevents pregnancy. Other than that I've gained weight and struggled to lose (still haven't and still struggling). My mood swings are awful. I bleed for up to two weeks at a time, although no cramps. My sleep pattern is erratic and I wake for two hours nightly and almost always lethargic and no energy or motivation. My appetite is ferocious. I also lost my sex drive which negated its purpose. I've since had the coil put in and awaiting to see if things will improve." | 5 | January 19, 2016 | 1 | 91 |
89,905 | Risperdal | bipolar disorde | "After going through my third manic episode I was prescribed 6mg of resperidal which immediately made me feel like an absolute zombie. I couldn't think clearly, was extremely tired all of the time l, and was unhappy. Through the course of about 4 months my dosage is now 1 mg and I don't feel the severe side effects. Good medicine in controlling the mania but in high dosages will make you feel like a zombie" | 5 | October 24, 2016 | 20 | 75 |
19,346 | Pregabalin | neuralgia | "Lyrica gave me my life back! The only side effect that MAY have been due to Lyrica is vision loss, but I have worn glasses for 30 years, so no big deal for my eyesight to slightly worsen over 2 yrs on the drug. Some of the side effects that people mention could be due to menopause rather than Lyrica. I gladly spend $60 for a monthly supply. Other meds I took previously left me like a zombie. With lyrica I actually feel good." | 10 | November 17, 2015 | 34 | 84 |
4,082 | Seroquel XR | bipolar disorde | "All I can say it that it is a miracle medicine. I finally have my life back. There are side effects but it is worth it. I am in college and doing well. My doctors said that would never happen for me. They said that I would be in and out of the psych ward. I have not need to be in hospital in over five years. I can finally hold a job. Like I said I have my life back, something I was told would never happen. Seroquel XR is that reason for that. Regular Seroquel is great too it just made me sleep for 18 hours a day. Seroquel XR makes me sleepy but I no longer over sleep. Again I say I got my life back." | 10 | December 12, 2010 | 58 | 129 |
188,510 | ParaGard | birth control | "I had a Paragard for about 9 1/2 months. For the first six months it was great-no hormones, no issues. Other than intense random cramping, I was extremely happy. Then at about 6 1/2 months in I started spotting randomly every day and it did not end until my ParaGard expelled itself at 9 1/2 months. It was also after six months that I experienced cramps and backaches so severe that at times I had to use a heating pad for my back. The backaches were the worst-they made me vomit at times. My OBGYN said the spotting and cramping were normal, but after six months they seemed to just get worse. Honestly, I was happy when my IUD expelled-I was already done with it after spotting nonstop for three months." | 8 | June 21, 2016 | 11 | 131 |
40,097 | Contrave | obesity | "So I have been on this medication for almost 2 months. While I'm not losing as quickly as I anticipated, I am losing nonetheless. The only complaint I have are the side effects. Extreme dry mouth at times and horrible nausea. I am at the 4 pills a day now, that's when the nausea kicked in. Though, it is a deterrent from eating. Over all, this medication is effective, just be prepared for the side effects" | 9 | April 18, 2015 | 36 | 76 |
187,366 | Orencia | rheumatoid arthritis | "After rashes, pain, nausea, and elevated liver enzymes on Remicade, then Humira, the doc switched me to Orencia. Felt very tired the evening of the loading dose, but not ill. Now I feel better than I have felt in 4 years! LOVE this stuff!" | 9 | May 29, 2017 | 16 | 44 |
229,462 | Lurasidone | bipolar disorde | "Suffering from Bipolar I was prescribed Latuda. Over a 1 year period of taking the drug I lost motivation, became depressed, and bordered suicidal. With a lifetime of struggling with mania and anxiety, I've never been suicidal until taking this drug. It's also a tier 3, so it will run your most expensive copay or thousands a month without copays." | 2 | April 5, 2016 | 13 | 60 |
16,299 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | acne | "I love gildess! I've been on spironolactone and two topicals and then later solodyn for acne. I had good results, but I finally decided to try this. I have only had one pimple since taking gildess, and it was minor. I'm so glad I started this medication! I have had sort of weird periods since I've started it is the only downside, but I'm on month three and the doctor said that can happen for the first three months anyway. I highly recommend gildess! I'm a 25 year old female who has been struggling with acne for at least 12 years, and I've tried other birth controls for acne as well." | 10 | April 15, 2016 | 2 | 111 |
92,206 | Lyrica | pain | "I have been taking Lyrica for 3 months. I started at 50mg x 3. Increased to 150 x 3 times a day a month later. I have had almost no pain since starting. The side effects have been extreme dizziness, edema in the feet, weight gain (about 15lbs). At my last appointment the Doctor adjusted the dose to 50mg x 4 times a day. The dizziness comes and goes. This is a great medicine for me. I can handle dizziness at this level." | 7 | July 6, 2010 | 26 | 83 |
98,795 | Microgestin 1 / 20 | birth control | "This birth control is awful. I've been on microgestin for almost two months now and I have nothing good to say about it. My anxiety is through the roof (I'm not generally an anxious person), I'm super moody (I'm normally a happy person), I'm extremely bloated 24/7 (I look 6 months pregnant), my hair keeps falling out, I'm nauseous, I just got over my period a week ago and now I have breakthrough bleeding (heavy bleeding), I already have horrid period cramps from PCOS but these microgestin cramps are almost unbearable. Seriously, just don't try this bc..." | 1 | June 1, 2017 | 3 | 97 |
80,141 | Benzonatate | cough | "This stuff does nothing, wasted $6.....years ago ,doctors gave you cough syrup w codeine ....that stuff knocked the cough right out! I got 3 different scripts and I'm still gagging n coughing........antibiotics next" | 1 | November 13, 2016 | 10 | 33 |
149,018 | Mirena | birth control | "I had the mirena inserted June 2015 at my six week post-natal appointment . I felt no pain probably because I had vaginal delivery. I had bad cramps and spotting for two weeks and that stopped. I have had headaches that won't quit , terrible mood swings (I can go from happy to sad in seconds ) I can't seem to shake off all my pregnancy weight, I'm bloated , dealing with Insomnia, I don't have interest in sex (which is awful because I'm married) I feel like a completely different person, cramping and spotting -which isn't too bad. Overall I'm just skeptical about this and I intend on getting it removed soonest !!!" | 1 | October 17, 2015 | 9 | 114 |
169,026 | Vilazodone | depression | "It made me a very cold and bitter person! Then one morning I woke up and my feet and ankles were swollen like balloons! I hurt all over! Headaches too! My doctor told me to quit cold turkey and I will feel like I have the flu! " | 1 | April 22, 2012 | 20 | 48 |
147,086 | Alprazolam | panic disorde | "30 years of Xanax at 1mg 3x a day. I miss the passion that my husband and I have but my body is numb. I have a my perfect husband so I pretend. Xanax will RUIN your sex life and take a lot from you if you take it for years like I have. They hardly work at all now and I am having lots of problems trying to stop. Beware because at first they are wonderful. " | 9 | December 18, 2014 | 59 | 78 |
104,765 | Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel | birth control | "I started taking this as birth control about 5 months after the birth of my first child. I am in the middle of week 7, and its not going good so far. I haven't had any weight gain yet, however, have headaches almost everyday. Along with middle acne, and I've been bleeding enough to use a tampon for about ten days. I'm going to take it until the end of pack one, but being 22 with a 6 month old, attending school full time I can't handle the bleeding, headaches, and exhaustion, if they continue!" | 4 | July 28, 2010 | 5 | 95 |
59,817 | NuvaRing | birth control | "I wanted to share my experience with the hope no one else will have to deal with. I have used depo, the pill, IUD and have now went with the nuvaring. I started that February 1, 2016 and it was out by February 22, 2016 (mind you I was told to keep it in until the 25th). Why because of lots of things. I most of the side of effects and it took me a week to put that's why I felt how I did. I was sleepy, nausea like crazy, and cramping. I read the side effects over and over. I never put that the pain I was having in my chest was part off it. February 23,2016 I found out I have a blood clot in my right lung caused by nuvaring!! This has caused so much stress on my family. We are still dealing with it now!!" | 1 | March 1, 2016 | 8 | 150 |
15,935 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "I have been on Lolo for just over a year now (after I finished breastfeeding my son) and have had no negative side effects. The pill has not caused any weight gain or losses, change in attitude or sex drive. I haven't had a period in about 4 months now and it is slightly alarming that the pill is changing my cycle so much, but as long as I can still have more children when I am ready and my period comes back once I go off of Lolo, I consider this to be an excellent birth control pill!" | 9 | July 7, 2016 | 12 | 99 |
27,006 | Ultram | pain | "It sometimes works when I take 50mg and sometimes I have to take 100mg. I am allergic to Tylenol and there are not many options. This medication makes me feel like I have a buzz and I can't drive when I take it. If I do drive I feel hot, heart starts racing and I almost black out. So I take it in the evening when I am home. I also itch all over. No rash or hives just itching. Sometimes it makes me sleepy and other times I can not sleep. To me as long as it helps I can deal with the itching and buzz feeling. " | 5 | June 1, 2011 | 12 | 109 |
180,474 | Diclofenac | pain | "Gel was given by my G.P. of 27 years for pain in shoulder that I have had for 5/6 months. It was aggravated by exercise with weights. My pain would wax and wane. Worst episodes included my inability to pick up a coffee cup with my left hand, pain level of 7, inability to sleep on my left side etc.
After 6 months of this, I visited my G.P who x-rayed my shoulder and found arthritic changes.
He gave me 2 sample tubes and told me to try it. I did with great results." | 9 | September 26, 2008 | 54 | 94 |
61,575 | Citalopram | depression | "I have been diagnosed as manic depressive, A.D.D. & suffer from high levels of stress & anxiety. I was on Zoloft from 2004 (13y.o.) to 2013 (22), with my highest mg being 150 or 175. Worked ok, but made me zobified. I still had panic attacks & my mood was off. I've been on Citalopram for a month now, just 20mg, & it's helped a LOT. After having my son in 2013, I decided to stay off meds (weaned myself at 22 weeks bc of risk of defects), figuring I might be able to do this on my own. I noticed irritability immediately after he was born. It took me a while to convince myself I needed meds again, when I had an awful panic attack & couldn't sleep. Being on Citalopram has decreased my irritability, & made me a lot less nervous. I'm even working!" | 8 | September 11, 2016 | 15 | 146 |
125,873 | Viibryd | major depressive disorde | "I was prescribed this after a nervous breakdown while an inpatient at the hospital. I have zero side effects, well perhaps I'm a bit more "flighty". It does not numb me like other meds have done in the past. I feel like I'm living my life again and enjoying my loved ones. I'm on 20 mg I hope the doctor will increase to 30 because I feel near the finish line but not 100% there yet." | 9 | February 17, 2016 | 36 | 76 |
95,155 | Guanfacine | adhd | "my 18 yo adhd plus anxiety daughter takes this med at bedtime- it has changed her life.
you do have to start at lowest dose and advance up to therapeutic dose- you do have to stay well hydrated to avoid constipation and low bp. The trade off in loss of almost all of her anxiety behaviors and her eagerness to now seek out activitites and social interaction outside the house is amazing. we could not have achieved this without the close monitoring of her pediatrician. our insurance does cover generic at a very reasonable copay" | 10 | July 31, 2016 | 69 | 95 |
66,760 | Seroquel | bipolar disorde | "I have been a bipolar as of 26 years. After my first and huge depression, I have not missed lithium not even for a day. I have had a really good acceptance to Seroquel, but not to Seroquel XR. The difference is huge, and XR plays with your sleep patterns and more. The insatiable hunger is so, so, true as is the weight gain. I just eat less and less and less and as a person who has had an amazing metabolism, still am 105lbs. After 3 children, my teen weight, I am now at 115lbs and I hate it. But I have no desire to stop Seroquel." | 9 | October 3, 2013 | 47 | 108 |
74,434 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "People who are giving this a bad review either aren't letting it get into their system or are some of the few that will suffer from the side effects that come along with taking any medication. People who write a bad review saying they have only been on it for 6 weeks or a couple months have not let their body adjust to a new pill. I have been on this pill for 6 months now and have no real complaints. In the beginning I spotted here and there and my period lasted longer than 4 days. It is better than bleeding for 6-7 days. Give it a chance." | 9 | December 21, 2009 | 42 | 109 |
108,152 | Bupropion / naltrexone | obesity | "Hi this is my 3rd bottle I haven't lost any weight yet but I haven't gained any either and I haven't been exercising like I should but I'm starting a gym next week so it will most likely work better I take two pills in the morning one pill at lunch and two pills before dinner so 4 pills all together The only side effect I have had that is negative is hard stool and constipation but if you take stool softeners and fiber pills they help big-time One of the things I like most about this medication is it does curb your hunger it does do that so I'm hoping to loose weight soon at 208 now fingers crossed" | 6 | October 4, 2015 | 9 | 120 |
215,597 | Copper | birth control | "I'm In my 20s, no kids, HIGH pain threshold. Got IUD late 2015. Before IUD, never had cramps. Insertion was not fun but nothing to cry about. Since insertion, all my periods have been heavier and more painful: a few have been terrible, even cause stomach pain. But all were manageable. Today I went to a gyno b/c my past 2 periods were EXCRUCIATING, barely tolerable w/ naproxen. Felt like I was giving birth. Was told everything looks normal but it is probably my IUD causing the pain. I hate hormones and love the cheap/worry-free 10yr IUD, so I'm going to wait it out and see if my next cycles calm down. Pain sucks but hormones and kids are worse." | 8 | July 5, 2017 | 4 | 120 |
218,857 | Depakote | bipolar disorde | "I am not very fond of Depakote. When I took it it didn't improve my moodswings that much. In the beginning it made me nauseous & caused my hair to fall out. No, I didn't go bald, but it thinned out my hair enough that my hairstylist noticed. Eventually, my hair stopped falling out, but I gained a lot of weight & I had very bad tremors & bad coordination. If you do decide to take this medicine make sure your doctor tests your blood regularly. I think you are supposed to have your blood tested every 6 months." | 3 | February 2, 2016 | 33 | 99 |
227,284 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I had my implanon place Feb 2011. The procedure to place it was quick and painless. Prior to Implanon I had been on the Depo Shot. The insertion was less painful than the shot. I just had the implant removed 10/2013. I noticed sever mood swings right off the bat and went straight back to my doctor to have it removed. We discussed options and I decided to take a mood stabilizer for the times when I felt extra B*tchy! I spotted for a few days then had then had a period once every 3 months. For the next 3 years. I did gain about 60 pounds over 2.5 years. Some of it was my eating and exercise habits and some of it I believe was implanon. All and all it was a good experience, I just will not do it again." | 8 | October 30, 2013 | 12 | 142 |
62,366 | Citalopram | depression | "I was put on Celexa when I was 19 and I loved it. It made me feel great. Then one day I decided to stop taking my medicines after a few months my depression returned. I have been on 5 or 6 different meds for depression and each time I stopped taking them. I am now 9 months pregnant and my depression, anxiety, and stress where so terrible that my obgyn prescribed me back on to Celexa. I have been taking it for about a week now and already my friends noticed some change in my moods. It's true at first you will be tired but after a few days of adjusting you will be back to normal. For me the only side effects that I have found that won't go away are the crazy dreams and sweating while I'm asleep. Other then that I wished I never got off of Celexa." | 8 | February 22, 2012 | 15 | 152 |
71,373 | Levora | birth control | "I've been on Levora for over a year. I have always weighed in at 100 pounds but after two months on Levora I gained 20 pounds and have stayed that way since. For the past 6 months I have been eating better and exercising better than I have in years with no change in the weight. I have also noticed my hair thinning out. I had no moodiness or problems with my period. I am switching to Aviane, so hopefully that goes well." | 4 | July 1, 2013 | 12 | 83 |
145,525 | Qsymia | obesity | "I'm 44 years old. Felt tired, looked tired and ached in my back, knees and feet a lot. I was obese and had been for many years. I'm 5'5. Started taking Qsymia May 6th. Weighed 212. By June 2 my weight was 200. Felt good. Drank lots of water, ate more protein and walked a couple miles daily. Side effects I had only in June were tingling fingers. Another short lived side effect is constipation, but adding fresh veggies and fiber does the trick people. I also felt annoyed a bit more, but again life and people can get very annoying, so find something to de-stress; i.e exercise. Now it is nearing the end of September, and I am still employed, married and sane and I'm at 175 and feel great!" | 8 | September 25, 2016 | 49 | 131 |
61,657 | Citalopram | depression | "I was on citalopram for nearly 3 years and I don't think it worked. The only positive thing I can say about it is that there weren't any side-effects. I'm willing to believe that it helps people with mild depression, as a relative of mine with dysythmia swears by it, but it didn't do anything for me when my depression was severe." | 2 | June 5, 2016 | 6 | 62 |

104,068 | Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel | birth control | "I was switched to Sronyx about a year ago, and at first I didn't notice any negative side effects... but about six months ago, my husband started to point out how mean I got when my period got closer. At first I brushed it off as PMS, but it got worse each month. In high school, before I was on the pill, I never got cramps, or had bad mood swings but now I'm constantly doubled over from cramping, I get irritable, and I NEVER know when my period will actually start. And I would break out like crazy! (I have acne-ridden wedding pictures as proof). The only good thing is that I didn't get pregnant.
I'm glad I'm starting a new pill next month." | 3 | November 15, 2013 | 4 | 125 |
132,279 | Ativan | anxiety | "I was diagnosed with Graves/Hyperthyroidism in Feb 2014, I was given 1 mg of Lorazepam on one of my trips to the ER because of my Hyperthyroidism. This medication is the best in it's class, I also occasionally take propranolol 10mg for heart palpitations, they both work perfect together. Already had RAI 4 weeks ago but am having bouts of hyper till thyroid is completely off. The 0.5 mg doesn't do much but the 1 mg is Excellent." | 10 | July 2, 2014 | 51 | 78 |
25,174 | Diovan | high blood pressure | "I take Diovan along with amlodipine and benazepril. My blood pressure is typically about 120-130/70-84. I don't know how much is due to the Diovan vs Lotrel, but I do know that Lotrel taken by itself was unable to get these results.
As for side effects, I do seem to have dry cough(varying amounts), some dehydration, darker urine, and substantially less-frequent ejaculations. However, I am not sure if it is the medication that causes such things even though such things are recognized as side-effects." | 7 | December 10, 2010 | 33 | 84 |
37,866 | Reclipsen | birth control | "This pill caused me to feel like I was PMSing all the time 24-7. Even when things were going great I was depressed ALL THE TIME. I didn't know why but finally figured out it was the medicine after about 2 weeks of taking it the symptoms are just not worth it. Plus it caused my acne to come back and get dry skin, no matter how much lotion I used and what I used." | 1 | May 25, 2011 | 13 | 75 |
138,559 | Phentermine | obesity | "I've lost 85 pounds in a year. I lost the first 60 pounds in 6 months, using a combination of eating well and exercising. I was 290lbs and am now 205.

224,912 | Bupropion | depression | "I tried for 2 yrs after a major life change to get my life back. All the snri's and ssri's gave me the worst side effects and I became more depressed dizzy migraines and suicidal. This wasnt me and every doctor wrote me off as being a bad patient. I was ready to throw in the towel and tried a low dose of wellbutrin and OMG. 2 months later I was completely myself and 6 mos later im medication free. Dont give up keep trying. I thought my life was over and was a difficult patient. Dont let message boards or doctors rule your life. If something isnt working dont stay on it!" | 9 | November 19, 2016 | 79 | 113 |
8,881 | Viagra | erectile dysfunction | "Works great for me. 25mg usually is enough but I'll take 50mg if I've been drinking. With 100mg I can cut a diamond in half but the sensitivity goes away. I get them online which I found after days of research I pay $1 for a pill versus $30 with my insurance plus insurance told me only 4 pills a month. I get blushed in the face sometimes as the only side effect for me. The pill lasts about 4 hours." | 9 | November 29, 2015 | 62 | 81 |
219,799 | Amitriptyline | chronic myofascial pain | "I started on 10mg for acute myofascial pain and bursitis in both hips it absolutely changed my life, Almost all pain has stopped unless I exacerbate the bursitis with a 10 mile walk ! After about 4 years I had to increase the dossage to 20mg as I was beginning to notice I was experiencing pain again but the increased dosage has rendered me almost pain free again. I could not cope now without it although I do worry about being so reliant on drugs for pain relief the side affects are negligible as I take dose before bedtime so do not experience undue fatigue." | 10 | June 27, 2017 | 5 | 105 |
140,935 | Escitalopram | anxiety | "I've tried many medications for anxiety, panic disorder, social phobia etc. I was previously on Zoloft for 3 months with nasty side effects. I started 5mg of Lexapro on 11/13/15 and after the first day I saw significant improvement, 2 weeks later I was at 10mg. I'm able to go places without panicking, and I'm more social. The only side effect I have is nausea and gas but Zofran helps with that. Today I will be increasing my dose to 20mg. So far it's done awesome for me. I hope it continues to get better." | 9 | December 16, 2015 | 33 | 95 |
129,258 | Levonorgestrel | emergency contraception | "My mistake happened on 8/18 , an hour later I immediately went and bought Take Action. Two days later I started to bleed heavily like a period( even though my period just ended 8/17) this continued for 4 days. I experienced every side affect and although I wasn't eating more i gained 10 lbs and felt like a cow. 9/12 came and no period, i took multiple test and were negative, my period came 6 excruciating days late. And Ill take the side affects over a baby. Try and relax. The pill works. The wait for you period is like a punishment not to let it happen again." | 10 | September 21, 2015 | 2 | 108 |
107,652 | Implanon | birth control | "I have had Implanon for about two years. I love the fact that I haven't gained any weight the only problem I do have are the mood swings. I can relate to a lot of the comments that people have left about not feeling yourself and not knowing the source of the horrible anger. My mood swings are making me reconsider this birth control because I feel it's affecting my relationship. I have had times where my period came for 2 1/2 months and really bad cramps. But on the other hand it's a relief not having to take pills everyday or go through the pain of the IUC or IUD" | 8 | July 25, 2010 | 6 | 111 |
229,879 | Acidophilus | vaginal yeast infection | "Well I got this product at Walmart and wanted to try it for yeast infection. I have tried so many products and even called the doctor to prescribe me something for this problem, that did not even
work as much. So I dont like yogurt really and that is what the GYN doctor says to do but I tried
and its not for me. So I been taking partial half in the morning half at night because my body is
odd with medications. So far is it clearing little bit at a time and I see the difference. My teeth
are bad and my gums were red but now they are pink. I am a diabetic so I worry about taking
stuff over the counter. I have a few side effects but they subside but come back as I get used to
the medicine, but it amazing I see it improving." | 9 | November 28, 2016 | 14 | 151 |
67,394 | Lacosamide | seizures | "Vimpat saved me!
After years of off and on again seizures (petite mal), I struggled with Epival as a lone source of control. A few years ago my Neurologist combined Keppra to my medical regiment. It worked fairly well for about a year or two in controlling my seizure. One of the major problems was that my emotions went wild. When I was happy I was ecstatic, when I was sad I was depressed and when I was perturbed, well, I was furious and not fun to be around!
Sadly, my seizures returned and then my Neurologist placed my on Vimpat (together with Epival). Since the change life has become MUCH better. I am back to my normal self. The person I was many years ago, and I am ever so grateful!" | 9 | August 16, 2017 | 5 | 132 |
206,634 | Omeprazole / sodium bicarbonate | gerd | "I've been taking this for nearly a year now, and I can honestly say I've been heartburn-free since the day after I started taking it. I can eat all the things that I love but used to keep me up all night (tomato sauce, bananas and peanut butter were the worst).
It is quite expensive, about a $1 a pill with insurance, but worth every penny. It's can also be a hassle because I have to wait to eat in the morning after I take it, but I am able to get something at work.
I took Tagamet for a while, then Zantac (75 and then 150), and both those stopped working after a few months. Tums, Rolaids and all the other chewables, and liquids like Mylanta all quit working years ago. My doctor decided to step it up and prescribe this to me and my life changed." | 10 | September 8, 2008 | 29 | 148 |

The third day on this, I was feeling a bit nauseous for a couple hours. I had a minor headache the first couple of days. I haven't had those problems anymore. A week into taking the pill, I started spotting. Then today my period is very heavy and watery. But its alot! (Sorry if I'm too graphic, I just want to be specific for anyone that might want to look up reviews about this bc). I'm really hoping this heavy period goes away.

I will update the score once I've been on it a little longer.
I have noticed in the reviews that just like any medicine it works for some people and not others.
I'm actually posting regarding the concerns about the cost of the meds.
First, discuss this concern with your doctor. No medication will work if you can't afford to pay for it!
Or to take smaller doses so you don't have to shell out $ you don't have.
I would recommend checking with the manufacturer for discounts, or sometimes getting a medication at no cost.
I'm not sure what is available for this manufacturer.
There are a lot of pharmaceutical companies that have patient assist programs. Good luck." | 5 | July 20, 2017 | 5 | 137 |

First time I had it was Jan 2014 when I had surgery. I took off the patch 3 days later and I ended up in the hospital for uncontrollable vomiting about 24hrs after the patch came off. However me nor the Drs connected it to the patch. November 2014 I had to have emergency surgery. I was given the patch again, 3 days later I took off the patch 48hrs later I was in the ER and admitted that night for uncontrollable nausea/vomiting. Saturday night they put the patch back. I took the patch off Wednesday, now I'm waiting to see what happens. Noticeable side effect, dilated pupils and blurry vision. Huge problem for me." | 7 | December 11, 2014 | 7 | 136 |

Finally my doctor put me on meclizine and it took a few days but it works really well. I've been on it now for over a year and take half a pill every night before bed. A whole pill puts me out of commission. Lately I have been noticing side affects though. Weight gain, blurry vision, more frequent urination and increased mucus. Due to these side affects I would like to get off this medication but not sure what I can take that will help me but have less side affects" | 8 | October 26, 2015 | 36 | 115 |

155,605 | Metronidazole | diverticulitis | "First time I had diverticulitis I was prescribed metronidazole and Cipro. The metronidazole was so horrible tasting it would make me gag and throw up. I got some double zero gelation capsules and put the pill inside the capsule. It worked like a charm, no more gagging. It works for bad tasting pills as well as chalky pills that get stuck in your throat. Good luck!" | 8 | February 17, 2014 | 43 | 66 |
124,718 | Tri-Previfem | birth control | "the first night I took it I brushed my teeth, normally I don't look at my tongue but for some reason I felt the need to. I saw bumps and they were scary looking bumbs. Whiteness on the back of my tongue and yellow. It didn't hurt or anything so I thought maybe I just ate something too spicy. So I waited and the next day it was still there but not as bad so I figured it was going away. The 4th day of taking it, it started to hurt when I swallowed so I got kinda worried, I've been getting acne pretty bad and I've been getting really sick to my stomach and headaches and fevers and so my stepmom believes I'm coming down with thrust, I looked up things that can cause thrush & turns out birth control was on that list." | 5 | December 8, 2016 | 0 | 145 |

217,338 | Clarithromycin | strep throat | "Worked great for a severe bronchitis infection that I thought would kill me. Only downside is this medication leaches potassium from your stores like 90,000 mgs each time you take so that's a lot. If you start experiencing leg cramps or heart palpitations this is why. Doctors should be giving you a course of potassium supplements each time along with these but surprisingly never do. I near took a heart attack coz was so low on potassium. This medication blocks off the potassium ion channel to the heart in the process of killing your infection so grand if your potassium is good but very dangerous if its not. Again it should be getting replaced when this is prescribed coz if you take it a few times your potassium will be gone from body." | 9 | February 4, 2017 | 5 | 133 |

I also will say it hasn't done anything to my moods except maybe make them better. I will share just for this review that I have struggled a lot with depression/anxiety in my past.

My doctor said Wellbutrin may decrease the effect of stims, and lengthen effective time.
I don't experience any crashes with this combo, but have noticed that some effects from the Wellbutrin are a little less.
This combo is for me for now, but expect will need to change as tolerance grows. Needed 20mg in the AM to begin therapeutic effects.

I could concentrate, no impulsive decision-making or stuck with indecision. Interested in life again, getting out, and lost 40lbs w/in the first year. Then insurance changes meant getting generic. I thought, "no big deal, I take generic for everything". I soon found myself overpowered by MDD symptoms again while still taking an AD. Dr mentioned switching to generic was likely the problem. I've since found lots of FDA/med research/similar experiences. Thankfully, I'm back on brand doing good, it wasn't just all in my head.

I also had a really bad reaction that included chest pains and what seemed like muscle spasms coupled with electric shocks in my joints which lasted about 30 minutes. I am going to continue for a few more months, but if there is no change, I'm going ask my neurologists about other options. I'm glad to hear that it works for others.

I keep a bag of organic almonds in my desk and eat 6 to 10 almonds when I get hungry and that takes care of that problem.

The next day I used an ovulation calendar and found I was in my prime that week (great). I went to buy the pill but it was sold out at all the stores I kept going to, and I had plans that day so I couldn' t get one until that night. I was stressing because I know the sooner, the better.

The last year though has been absolute hell. I've put on over two stone, had long spells of bleeding, acne, mood swings, no sex drive whatsoever, unsightly stretch marks as I seemed to gain weight so fast and strange hormonal eczema break outs (which I've never suffered with before).

95,461 | Otezla | plaque psoriasis | "Now have 8 weeks completed with Otezla. The side effects are getting better. Less trips to the bathroom, nausea gone. Skin is getting better. Still have visible patches on my legs, but they are less angry looking. The itching has been reduced also. Taking 30mg twice a day." | 9 | December 22, 2015 | 20 | 48 |
159,900 | Bactrim | bacterial skin infection | "I went to the hospital last night because there was a boil under my armpit. Last month I had one on my buttock. They tested me for diabetes, I'm not a diabetic. I don't know why I keep getting boils. They couldn't drain it because fluid hasn't formed yet, so they gave me Bactrim. I have to take 2 pills every 12 hrs. They are huge. And hopefully they work well for me like they did for most of you!" | 8 | September 30, 2011 | 38 | 80 |
226,703 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "Second implant (5 yrs). Severe headaches, permanent 5 year long period with a small relief each month, acne, hormonal problems, severe abdominal pain, my kidney stones were nothing compared to what the doctors thought were ovarian cysts bursting (its a side effect, another no one knew/told me/made info accessible).So much they don't know. Don't get it if you have depressive tendencies! Again no info I could find at the time! Mental health has been appalling; raging anger; mood swings; depression; anxiety. Don't feel pressure to get it or stay on it if it's not for you. It's your body! I pressured myself in fear of pregnancy ruining my life plan, but I'd rather deal with unwantedpreg. I want to be myself again without symptoms! Not recommend" | 1 | May 21, 2015 | 5 | 126 |
216,217 | Copper | birth control | "I just finished having the copper IUD inserted. I'm am 21 and have never given birth. I too read the horror stories online and almost didn't go through with it. They gave me a prescription for a low dosage of Xanax to take an hour before and 1000mg of ibuprofen. It was painful and did make me kind of groan out in pain. It lasted maybe one minute from start to finish. It was a tolerable pain and just felt different than anything I've ever experienced. Two hours afterward I still feel ok, slight cramps here and there but nothing like my cramps I normally get while on my period. I'm pretty happy with it." | 9 | May 19, 2015 | 2 | 115 |
22,046 | Infliximab | psoriasis | "I lived with severe psoriasis for almost 10 years. It covered almost 90% of my body. I've tried every medication available - methotrexate, Raptiva, and several others. Remicade has been a mircale for me. Short sleeves, clean scalp, no psoriasis. It has changed my life with an infusion for a couple of hours every other month. I live with confidence again." | 10 | July 21, 2008 | 0 | 61 |
111,216 | Ledipasvir / sofosbuvir | hepatitis c | "I gave this a 10 but I am only on day 10 of Harvoni. So far so good, no real side effects, no headache no fatigue. My skin is itching a bit and have read other comments that they also had itchy skin. If that is all the side effects I'll take it. I have a little insomnia at night but had some before treatment anyway. I do drink 80 0z of water daily eat clean and work out at gym daily. I have had this monster for 40+yrs and just found out. Yes I will clear this virus and will get back with rating once cleared . I am on it for 12 weeks. I take in am 7:30 or 8:00.Good luck to everyone I think this is the miracle drug-Think positive." | 10 | August 18, 2017 | 10 | 133 |
