39,576 | Contrave | obesity | "Been on wellbutrin and Naltrexone for 2 weeks. My Dr. prescribed the medication separatley cause it's cheaper. Quit smoking and no cravings for alcohol. Headaches and Nausea no major weight loss I will continue the 2 and hope the side effects go away." | 6 | April 1, 2016 | 10 | 43 |
623 | Medroxyprogesterone | birth control | "Started this birth control when I was 17, am now 24. Had my period for about 3-4 weeks when I first started, but have not since. Only had spotting if I was getting close to being late for shot. Did not gain weight like a lot of people claim. Have not had bone density loss, but have taken calcium supplements. No period, no cramps, no babies, love it." | 9 | January 9, 2012 | 5 | 68 |
41,506 | Aubagio | multiple sclerosis | "Have had MS since 1988. Was on Betaseron from 2001-2014 and switched to Aubagio Jan 2015. About mid April I lost sense of Taste - not appetite, just Taste. Weird thing is that I can taste salt and only salt.
Also have the hair thinning." | 8 | August 12, 2015 | 44 | 45 |
212,468 | Prograf | organ transplant, rejection prophylaxis | "I have been using Prograf for 4 years now. 1 mg in the AM and 1 mg in PM. Last year or 3rd year into this treatment I had 2 episodes with squamous cell carcinoma, which were both removed." | 8 | September 24, 2009 | 17 | 39 |
31,448 | Miconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "I have used this product three times in my 27years & I would definitely recommend it to my friends or family members if they decided they uhh wanted to tell me their vagina was uncomfortable lol. The rest of the reviews are very true. This product can cause burning & increased itching but I see that as death to yeast or fungi or whatever bread you might be baking down below.
Take(2) 200mg ibuprofen (preferably the fast acting gel caps) and 50mg Benadryl/diphenhydramine HCl 1-2hrs before bed or prior to starting your treatment & this will decrease if not eliminate the side effects of this treatment. You can also use a cool wash clothe or ice pack to cool things off down there but it is not needed after premedication
" | 10 | April 30, 2016 | 13 | 131 |
118,190 | Naltrexone | opiate dependence | "I'm getting my 18th shot this month that means I have successfully completed the vivitrol program at a local adult facility. This shot did something not sure what but I don't have urges or wants to use drugs I was an I user and ruined my life almost but now I'm successful and nobody would ever guess how bad I use to be. And I don't ever have to be a junkie again. Thank god.... no side affects so I hope I can keep it up after this month and I hope my brain is okay with me stopping the shot." | 10 | January 18, 2017 | 66 | 101 |
187,156 | Azelastine / fluticasone | allergic rhinitis | "The taste is awful and does last for hours . I was also given the sample without prior knowledge that I should not be driving after use. I feel so out of it , drowsy, slight nausea. I'm still waiting for my insurance to let me know if this medication is covered and how much it will be even after the coupon card . At this point its not worth purchasing . Haven't noticed any positive change either in my sense of smell or nasal breathing ability." | 3 | March 1, 2016 | 9 | 87 |
140,190 | Asenapine | bipolar disorde | "I believe I have found the answer I have been looking for! Been on it about two months. I sleep throught the night with a lot less interruption and I fall asleep more quickly. My thought pattern is far less anxious and muddled; I am able to concentrate. My mood is far less out of whack and I am generally happy. The only downside for me is it gives me the munchies and I have diabetes, so I have gained some weight a bit rapidly. However, with a lot of effort, I have eliminated foods out of my diet that are carbs. I am starting to level out and I have a lot of hope for the future with this medicine. It is expensive, but I have good insurance." | 10 | March 18, 2014 | 48 | 129 |
127,957 | Phentermine | weight loss | "I just started these yesterday, I weigh 164 pounds at 5'3". I do a lot of exercise and therefore do not consider myself to be obese but there are definitely a couple of tyres I would like to loose before Xmas. So far no major side affects, I drink lots of water anyway and have never slept that well. They haven't completely stopped me from eating and I am only eating healthy foods as looking at cakes etc make me feel ill. Will keep you posted over the next 4-8 weeks." | 8 | September 30, 2016 | 1 | 91 |
227,787 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I just had my Implanon inserted and I'm fine. From what I researched its the same hormone as Depo Provera and I was on that for 6 years on and off. I never had any issues. No weight gain, no mood issues, nothing. Hopefully this is the same way." | 10 | December 18, 2011 | 0 | 49 |
41,262 | Acetaminophen / oxycodone | pain | "I have rheumatoid arthritis which is crippling and I take Percocet 10mg and Lortab 10mg daily and they do there job!! It takes all my pain away and makes my body feel wonderful and it also makes me so happy! There's not a better pain reliever out there! I recommend any one with severe pain to ask your doctor about Percocets or Lortabs!" | 10 | November 3, 2009 | 21 | 63 |
107,946 | Ethinyl estradiol / norelgestromin | birth control | "So I have been on the patch for about a year now, I chose the patch over the pill due to convince. Turns out its kinda a pain. I had not had to many issues aside from i weight gain and it coming off before my week was up due to excess water. Periods where normal for me, always generally heavy. Unfortunately I had to stop for a month due to cost. (i know dumb) and I am now having an allergic reaction before this occurred I was wanting to switch anyways. I plan to switch to Paragaurd." | 7 | October 29, 2016 | 1 | 98 |
90,521 | Docosanol | herpes simplex | "The thing about cold sore virus is that they mutate very quickly. That means, they evolve quickly and thus will be able to fight off the cream. Therefore, everytime another cold sore appears, it is better to use a different cream that you have not used before. Or apply manuka honey on it, it will help lessen the itchiness, and may speed up healing time." | 8 | February 6, 2016 | 3 | 65 |
52,489 | Armour Thyroid | underactive thyroid | "Had taken Armour Thyroid for 20 years but starting 2 years ago I experienced brain fog, aches and pains which was thought to be fibromyalgia, no energy, severe headaches, insomnia and hard to get out of bed and always tired. I have taken many tests, scans and seen many Doctors during that time and couldn't find an answer to my complaints. I felt like I was loosing my mind and in desperation began searching the Internet and came across information about Armour. I understand Forest Labs bought Armour in 2014 and Actavis bought them in 2015 - lo and behold!!! I saw complaints which were identical to mine and quit taking them on Sec. 22, 2015. I felt better within 2 days and am angry that I lost 2 years of my life." | 1 | January 31, 2016 | 87 | 133 |
145,673 | Qsymia | weight loss | "Qsymia has definitely worked for me. I started in December 2014, at 255 lbs and about 5'11". It is now the end of March and I weigh close to 200 lbs. the medication has really helped curb my appetite and reduce the appeal of food. I maintain 1500-1800cal/d diet, exercising when I can. Some days I'm over my count, but for the most part I'm in target. I know that Qsymia made the difference in my success. I didn't really have any significant side effects." | 10 | March 30, 2015 | 18 | 85 |
61,034 | Focalin | adhd | "I love how it makes you more focused on one thing. But it has too many bad things to it. First you have loss of hunger for a longer period of time. Then you get this bad stomach feeling like barely fainting or puking. Your muscles start to twitch and you annoying and hostile. I also feel like crying at random points and is pretty emberassing." | 4 | December 1, 2015 | 22 | 66 |
19,325 | Pregabalin | diabetic peripheral neuropathy | "Eased diabetic nerve pain somewhat but caused "jerking motion" so severe that I could not feed myself. This was with only one month's use. Discontinued use and jerking getting much better." | 4 | April 3, 2016 | 19 | 31 |
79,390 | Plan B One-Step | emergency contraception | "Please don't judge this post..I'm here to share my experience with Plan B and provide some hope for others in the same situation I was in. I stupidly had unprotected sex more than once in a several week time span. I took Plan B twice within a few weeks of each other. Up until then I had pretty normal periods and no major issues..After the second time I took it I had insane cramps, back aches, sore breasts, you name it.. I was convinced I was pregnant but all tests were negative. I just got my period..exactly 8 weeks after my last one. So taking Plan B, especially more than once, really messes up your cycle and the added stress of thinking you may be pregnant doesn't help either. I'm also well over the "weight limit" and it still worked." | 10 | July 24, 2015 | 21 | 140 |
182,908 | Cymbalta | depression | "Cymbalta 120mg for 4 months
Good:
- slight to moderate increase in motivation, mental energy and attention/alertness.
- decrease in anxiety and depressive feelings.
Bad:
- made me less social, less empathetic and more robotic.
- horrible withdrawal symptoms which happen quickly if you forget to take it.
- when my dosage was increased from 30mg to 60mg, it started to give me nightmares at night and caused me to wake up in middle of the night and lose sleep.
Conclusion: Better positive cognitive experience than 10mg Escitalopram which other than positively affecting my mood, all it did was cause constant brain fogs and decrease my motivation even further." | 8 | February 28, 2016 | 21 | 109 |
99,025 | Lutera | ovarian cysts | "I tried this birth control pill when generess fe stopped their coupon program that allowed to pay $25/mo. Still pricey compared to the many options available for $10 or less, but I loved generess fe so it was totally worth it. Anyway, the price went up to $40/mo. without the coupon, so I decided to try something else.
My doc recommended Lutera and my insurance covered it completely. Within a month of taking the pill, I turned into a complete nightmare to be around. I didn't gain weight or breakout as some other reviews noted, but was always irritable and never wanted to be around anyone. My poor fiance was probably scared to death of me; everything he did was wrong, and I made sure to let him know. I switched back to generess after 2 mos." | 2 | October 9, 2015 | 2 | 137 |
9,764 | Lo Loestrin Fe | birth control | "I've been on this medication for about 6 months now. I really love it. The first period i had on this pill was pretty rough. Like crazy heavy with lots of clots/tissue. But that was a one time thing. Then I would spot for two weeks at a time and that got annoying. But Now my periods are very light and last only a few days but still with same period symptoms. So far no weight gain at all but my breasts have gotten huge! I was an A cup and now I'm a C. My skin is also very clear! I don't really have any complaints!" | 10 | July 22, 2015 | 5 | 107 |
119,816 | Losartan | high blood pressure | "I developed crippling stomach/abdominal pain and my doctor dismissed any connection to my medication. I consequently underwent several scans and tests which as well as being very costly to the NHS also took up valuable time which could have been spent on other patients. All results came back normal.
It was purely accidental that I forgot to collect my prescription on a Friday and went on to enjoy a pain free weekend. I was put onto beta-blockers for my high blood pressure instead on which I have been fine, but interestingly the doctor still insisted that the Losartan would not have caused my symptoms !" | 5 | May 1, 2017 | 47 | 105 |
169,884 | Aspirin / butalbital / caffeine | migraine | "I have used this drug since 1979 @ age 27. Two day weekend headaches after a rough week were frequent (about 15-20 headaches/year) over next 10 years. They laid me up for hours or days. If taken within a few hours after a headache began, fiorinal is very effective. Wait a day and pain is partially reduced but lingers for 24 hours or more. Headache frequency gradually declined with aging. At current age headache frequency is down 95%. Fiorinal was a great help to me." | 8 | February 10, 2009 | 16 | 85 |
113,421 | Bisacodyl | constipation | "Works like a charm - a crampy, semi-painful charm but still I'm 150lbs, 5'7''.
I would recommend starting with one pill, no dairy before or after, and lots of water to go with it. The pain - and there is pain - is bearable, and if you absolutely need to go, Dulcolax will get you there overnight. But make sure you can afford to be up during a couple hours that night." | 9 | November 11, 2014 | 26 | 72 |
114,850 | Diazepam | anxiety | "Was previously on lorazapam and switched to Valium in February. Since then I never felt relief and suffered every day from anxiety. It didn't matter if I took 2mg or 12mg I didn't feel better and in fact I felt more anxiety. A week ago I decided to stop it cold turkey and every day since I have felt 90% better. I'm going through some withdrawal like tinnitus and night time sweats but I wake up better and have been feeling happiness. I strongly recommend staying off any benzodiazepine and if you are going to take it, only for bad panic attacks. Never take them daily as they are very addictive and quite difficult to get off of. They say that benzos are more difficult to get off of than heroin. Try Gabapentin for anxiety." | 1 | September 4, 2017 | 11 | 135 |
24,808 | Tresiba | diabetes, type 1 | "Type 1 diabetic for 28 years. Went from split dose Levemir to spit dose Tresiba. I was dizzy and still having high DP and early evening. Switched to dosing Tresiba X1/d. Blood sugars were perfect no hypos or highs. But the headaches were so debilitating I could not participate in life. I am going back to Levemir. My total dose that worked on Tresiba was only 4 units ( Levemir it was 9). Also, I totally lost my appetite and threw up a couple of times but still somewhat bizarrely gained 3 pounds! I went from 115-117.9. I have a hunch I was starting to develope peripheral edema. I am a medical professional so I just use my own judgement wether to continue. I think everyone should give Tresiba a try. But be cautious and listen to your body." | 1 | December 23, 2016 | 21 | 139 |
221,644 | Dexlansoprazole | gerd | "Dexilant is a God send! I experienced acid reflux out of the blue for the first time that was very severe. For three days straight regardless of the position I was in. My doctor gave me a sample of Dexilant and I felt better within hours, and by the end of the day my reflux subsided. I take 60mg every day, once a day and have been well. I did experience constipation for a few days, but it went away however my stool is not fully normal. The medication is more expensive then other ones on the market, but talk to your doctor and see if he will give you a months worth of samples to see how you feel before you get it prescribed. I eat lots of dairy and spicy foods and all is well." | 9 | September 9, 2013 | 64 | 137 |
211,065 | Carisoprodol | muscle spasm | "I took Soma for muscle spasms, pain, and stiffness due to fibromyalgia and previous injury for over 3 years. My doctor recently switched me to another muscle relaxer, and my sleep has suffered horribly. At 21 years of age I am already very affected by my condition on a daily basis. I can't depend on my body at all, and because of that I myself am very unreliable. I can't sit for long, I can't stand for long. Soma made me extremely sick to my stomach, but when I needed relief Soma took the burning away and was more than worth it. Also made me feel light-headed and made me zone out quite a bit. I couldn't take it before school or anything that required me to be even half alert. Overall great medication for relief of severe muscle pain." | 7 | November 19, 2009 | 43 | 140 |
68,057 | Plan B | emergency contraception | "I made a mistake & had sex with out protection with my boyfriend, he didn't pull all the way out & we were going crazy. I waited 1 day after we had sex to take the pill, later that night my stomach was cramping up & I felt like I was going throw up but I didn't.
This was my first time taking a plan b and I really was scared that it wasn't gonna work. I read all different reviews and I was so scared, my period was suppose to start January 11th and it came on a few days early and I'm so happy!" | 9 | January 13, 2016 | 3 | 106 |
48,892 | Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel | birth control | "This has been the worst birth control pill I've ever been on. I've gained around 10lbs just in 3 weeks of taking this medication. I've had a period for 7 days when I should of been off at least 2 days ago. I've been having mood swings and depression!!! Do not take this pill" | 3 | December 31, 2016 | 0 | 54 |
224,513 | Levothyroxine | hashimoto's disease | "If you are taking Synthroid and you are still depressed, overweight or losing hair (all symptoms of hypothyroidism, which this drug treats) then your dose is still not high enough. If your doctor tells you that you are "within the normal range, "switch doctors - if you are still having symptoms then your dose should be higher. I have been on this medication for several years now and as long as I'm on the right dose, I feel fine. I know I need an adjustment when I start to get tired and depressed. Those are the two most obvious symptoms for me (as well as hair loss). I have used low-carb diets effectively (New Atkins for a New You is good - has a section for vegetarians) to lose the weight I had gained when my thyroid became inactive." | 10 | December 10, 2011 | 76 | 139 |
74,944 | Nitrofurantoin | urinary tract infection | "I am currently taking Macrobid for a urinary tract infection. I've been taking it twice a day for going on 4 days now. I was very very leery of this medication, because when I was pregnant 4 years ago, it was prescribed to me for a UTI. I took it and was really ill. I felt like I had the flu...weak, chills, nausea, horrible headaches. My doctor gave it to me and I was scared to take it, but with my last UTI the Cipro didn't knock it out. I'm happy to report that this time, I am doing fine on it. No side effects, but the UTI symptoms are pretty much gone.
Make sure you take this ON A FULL STOMACH! Not with a glass of milk, not with a snack, not BEFORE eating...a full stomach!" | 8 | November 22, 2013 | 58 | 137 |
97,125 | Ambien | insomnia | "I don't have the typical insomnia. I can fall asleep (very easily, so easily I've almost considered myself to be slightly narcoleptic). But I can't stay asleep, and I don't fall into that deep sleep that you're supposed to. I wake up several times a night and even though I can fall right back to sleep, if you're not getting "restful sleep" then you're going to be tired. Ambien knocks me out! I take 10 mg. I am a 230lb female so I need the 10mg to sleep for 7 to 8 hours. Sometimes if I am just exhausted I can break it in half and sleep fine. But 10mg is perfect for me. But I am co-dependent on it now. I don't mind it so much. It's nice to know I will be rested after going to bed at 10pm and waking up at 6am." | 10 | September 25, 2011 | 8 | 146 |
148,350 | Mirena | birth control | "Hello, so far I feel okay... I just literally got the Mirena at 12pm today. The reviews I just read has me super scared but I'm going to do updates along with changes in my weight. Right when I got it, it felt like the starting of my menstrual cycle. (felt like everything was falling out) the insertion felt like a mean as pinch and as if someone was drawing a straight line with a sharp pencil inside you but it was really really quick!!!!! I took a motrin right afterwards so now at 2:31 I feel fine!!!!!" | 10 | October 17, 2017 | 7 | 98 |
137,770 | Enbrel | rheumatoid arthritis | "Enbrel is the first medication I've taken that's actually helped. After taking it for about 10 months with really good results, I had an Achilles tendon repair that was infected with MRSA during rehab. I had to take intravenous antibiotic for 8 weeks and had to go off Enbrel for several months. The pain from the rheumatoid arthtitis came back 10 fold. I'm back on Enbrel now but I find that it wears off by the 5th day, and by the time the week is over I'm in misery with swollen joints. I don't know what I'd do without it - just wish it could work all week." | 8 | July 27, 2013 | 38 | 108 |
6,463 | Ocella | menstrual disorders | "I have been on this for over a year. I was on Sydea previously for a year. This birth control works great. There are no cramps, it's a lighter flow, I'm more emotionally stable, it's shorter, and I only had one scare because I forgot to take it for two days in a row and my period came late. The only downside I've noticed is that I have almost NO sex drive now. But my insurance covers it all until I'm no longer considered a dependent/full time student." | 7 | May 29, 2014 | 0 | 88 |
65,146 | Hydrochlorothiazide | high blood pressure | "If I miss a dose, I just take it the very next day. If I run out ... Let's just say I've done it twice ... THERE WONT BE A THIRD !!!" | 9 | August 11, 2015 | 23 | 32 |
218,898 | Depakote | bipolar disorde | "Best medicine ever for me. Started with lithium after diagnosis for bipolar. Lithium gave terrible side effects so after switching to Depakote, life became much easier for a chemically challenged like me. Took almost 1 year before 100%." | 10 | October 15, 2013 | 89 | 38 |
59,021 | Morphine | chronic pain | "Kadian is AMAZING! I've been a pain sufferer for decades. I suffer from spinal stenosis/spindylosis; cervical neuralgia, etc. I've had multiple cervical fusions (anterior & posterior) with hardware. Anyone who's been through multiple fusions knows the pain changes, but never truly goes away. Pain was somewhat manageable with MS Contin, but I would still "pay" for it if I ever pushed myself, traveled, etc. Since 1998, I never had more than a week or two between moderate/severe pain flare-ups. Since kadian, I've gone as long as 3 months without one! I even flew to Europe for a 10 day vacation (which was a ton of walking/sitting) without any issues! Kadian works and works AWESOME!" | 10 | January 11, 2017 | 18 | 114 |
228,145 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I have been using this for about one year now but I don't like it. I have gained over 56 pounds and have had really bad back pain and my husband says I have become really hormonal. I don't think this is a bad birth control but I don't think it is the one for me." | 5 | February 11, 2010 | 2 | 56 |
115,345 | Propofol | anesthesia | "I don't know why, but Propofol does not seem to provide the advertised effects for me. I just got it today for an RFA nerve block on both knees. I was a little loopy but essentially Wide-awake. Despite my telling the medical staff I was wide-awake several times, they continued with the procedure. They did give me more Propafol, but no dice. I try to be low-key and composed during medical treatments, but I screamed and cried through the whole thing. I actually felt the ablation happening, it was horrible. I felt like I was pretty much ignored by all of the medical staff besides the nurse. I guess they thought I wouldn't remember it, but of course I do." | 1 | January 31, 2017 | 7 | 120 |
102,877 | Aripiprazole | bipolar disorde | "I had such bad side effects from Abilify with no positive effects. My cholesterol went up, I had heartburn or acid reflux every night that would wake me up. I got totally paranoid and was even scared to drive or ride in a car. I had unusual fears of dying, I had a hard time laying still and would have to move my legs and arms. I got really bad dizzy spells usually while I was driving,, which created more fears of driving. I still haven't found something that works for me. Losing hope." | 1 | January 21, 2011 | 11 | 94 |
29,410 | Topiramate | migraine prevention | "I was getting 10-12 migraines a month when I was prescribed Topamax. I took it for a little over a month but had to quit because it made me extremely depressed and suicidal. After I stopped taking it, I felt fine again." | 1 | September 11, 2015 | 32 | 42 |
164,181 | Xiidra | dry eye disease | "So far XIIDRA has been very effective for my dry eyes. HOWEVER, their is not enough medication for two eyes, only one. Therefore I'm forced to use two capsules. For what we pay for this, they could at least put an antiquated amount in each capsule." | 3 | August 13, 2017 | 10 | 46 |
55,352 | Belviq | obesity | "I am overweight by 50 pounds and my doctor prescribed me Belviq. I have been taking it for 30 days and I have already lost 15 pounds! This medicine is amazing and a life saver! If you are overweight and have not been able to lose it naturally like me, ask your doctor and get Belviq now. You will not be disappointed." | 10 | January 20, 2014 | 73 | 62 |
93,980 | Trintellix | depression | "One month on 5mg of Trintellix. I was on Zoloft for 3 years and was a zombie. It is like a veil has been lifted. I have energy like I did when I was in my 20s. I also can see I am clearly surrounded by critical condescending people. I never was able to give much thought to their behavior while on zoloft. I am experiencing a euphoric feeling that was absent prior to trintellix." | 10 | March 15, 2017 | 83 | 75 |
116,388 | Adalimumab | rheumatoid arthritis | "Diagnosed with sero negative rheumatoid arthritis about five years ago. It came on very quickly and pain was awful. Took methotrexate, but was quite ill from side effects. Thought I Achieved remission and stopped methotrexate. Unfortunately, the disease was active and recently had a flare that has lasted for months. Blood work all negative. Rheumatologist ordered an MRI and found bone erosion in the wrists. Started Humira and had relief of symptoms shortly after. Just took second injection. The nurse who instructed me on the shots said to leave it out of refrigerator for 30 minutes, ice the site and inject. I have done both injections in my stomach with no pain. Using the Humira pen. Also iced spot for 5 minutes afterwards" | 10 | September 2, 2014 | 118 | 123 |
186,539 | Desvenlafaxine | depression | "I am a 77 year old male. My Grandfather and my Father suffered from Depression. I have suffered from depression all of my life. I was first diagnosed with severe clinical depression about 1975. I was put on ELAVIL and the results were very good and I took it for about 12 years. At that time the ELAVIL stopped working and my Doctor put me on NORTRIPTYLINE. That seemed to stop the depression and worked for a long time. When it stopped working, my Doctor put me on PAXCIL. Then, a Psychiatrist added WELLBUTRIN XL. Then my PDOC replaced the generic PAXCIL with PRISTIQ. For the first time in 40 years, my depression has gone!" | 7 | February 15, 2010 | 289 | 115 |
132,968 | Loestrin 24 Fe | birth control | "I was taking this pill for several years and had a good experience with it. My periods were only for 3 days, if that. Sometimes, I hardly bled. My Dr. prescribed this to me because I had irregular menstrual cycles. While I was on the medication, my acne improved, I hardly had any breakouts, I barely experienced cramps, and I had a shortened period. It worked very well for me but apparently, they've discontinued this product. Minastrin 24 FE is apparently the bio-equivalent. I have yet to try that product or any new pills." | 10 | March 3, 2014 | 7 | 94 |
112,945 | Bisacodyl | constipation | "I took this pill about 10 pm and by 2 am I went to the restroom. I had cramping which was normal but I had threw up while I was doing the restroom then I was jittery it even lowered my blood pressure and I wanted the horrible feeling to go away I felt like I was about to pass out!! Won't ever take it again!!" | 3 | November 24, 2016 | 5 | 66 |
82,193 | Liraglutide | obesity | "Hi all.... This is a follow-up from a previous post. I'm now starting my third week of Saxenda. I'm now taking 1.8mg/day. My starting weight was 194lbs and I'm now at 189. Not so fantastic, but not awful either. I am nauseated most of the day, which gets worse around 6pm, then fades. Overall, I feel that the best part of this med is that I don't care about food. At all! I'm a donut lover, and when my family brought over a dozen fresh donuts, I had one bite and felt sick. I didn't even want it. That is amazing. I'm not obsessed with food anymore. Most days I have to force myself to eat. While I'd like to see a bigger jump on the scale, I'm happy with the decreased appetite and feeling lighter in general. Let's hope it keeps working! :)" | 7 | January 19, 2016 | 4 | 144 |
6,131 | Minastrin 24 Fe | birth control | "I'm nearing the end of the second month on this pill. First of all this pill does its job which is the only reason it got a 3. I am terribly emotional and I feel sick 3/4 weeks of the month. The only time I don't feel at least a little off is when I take the brown pills to have my period. I've also experienced horrible leg pains and aches. I've been throwing up for the past 2 days and ever since starting I've gotten horrible acne. I'm going to try one more month and if no change I'm talking to my doc about switching bc!!" | 3 | October 7, 2015 | 2 | 107 |

146,156 | Suboxone | opiate dependence | "I was a Roxy (heroin) abuser for 2 yrs. Made several attempts to quit cold turkey with NO luck and HELLACIOUS withdrawals. Desperate I did some research, made an appointment with local doctor and was inducted today at 15mg. Some helpful/honest things I can share are...GOOD: I feel amazing, shocked that it really works, zero cravings, but mostly happy I'm no longer a slave to Roxy's! BAD: Not sure if my doctor shares same plan I have for wanting to ween off in 6-8 wks. No insurance and my doctor charges $500/month fee, plus taking (2) 8mg pills/day @ $16=$980/mo. Wish there was cheaper way but obviously compared to what I was spending I am saving money and most importantly MY LIFE." | 10 | June 14, 2011 | 18 | 122 |
145,235 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I started the implant in May 2015, and it is one of the best choices I have ever made. I understand that it is different for everyone however my experience has been great. It has stopped all period pains and for the past 2 months has completely stopped any bleeding. I had no side effects such as headaches or irregular periods. Getting it injected isn't too painful and the bruising doesn't last long. I would recommend it to anyone and it also means that you don't have to remember to take the pill or use condoms. Its great for some people so don't get too worried and just see if it works for you. If it does not, it can be taken out immediately." | 10 | October 7, 2015 | 2 | 124 |
18,750 | Aptensio XR | adhd | "I have been taking Aptensio now for 3 months. I have been diagnosed with ADHD now for about 2 1/2 years. I have taken just about every non stimulant and stimulant on the market. I am currently taking 50mg of the Aptensio once a day. I am finding myself still scattered brained and my memory is horrible. I think the pill is lasting about 6 hrs and then I have a hard come down making me a total witch! The one thing that I have noticed is that I have put 12 lbs. on in 3 months. I am constantly eating! I had my thyroid checked and it came back normal. I have spoke with other people that say they are gaining weight on the pill as well." | 5 | May 19, 2017 | 4 | 128 |
65,814 | Propranolol | anxiety | "I was put on Deralin for the trembling in my hands- apparently fron Lithium. I couldn't hold a pen, drinking out of a glass would need two hands, water bottle would need two hands. Couldn't put make up on, the shaking could become a style of jerking, I'd hit the wrong keys on a keyboard and got the sack for making mistakes from a temp role. The GP put me on 40mg o/d - it worked "ok" then 2 x 40 p/d. It doesn't seem to work- I still can't hold a pen. It has helped with panic attacks, that- that kick in the guts butterfly feeling has stopped. I don't feel calmer or much difference. Lithium plus years ago Zoloft gave me diarrhea up to 18 times in 24 hour period. I hardly left the house, well again after settling down to 6 times up to 22 time" | 4 | February 7, 2016 | 3 | 149 |
151,997 | Chantix | smoking cessation | "I used it before with moderate success but when I couldn't afford more I eventually started smoking again.
This time I am smoke free 8 weeks and 3 days as of today. With no cheats, important to me.
Side effects, must eat a good meal in the morning or will get horribly ill with nausea and strange cramps. Other than that none. Had the dreams last time.
I want to taper off but afraid the cravings will return so I will continue until I feel stronger.
Hope they never ban this product in the US." | 10 | May 27, 2011 | 4 | 95 |
139,637 | Luvox | obsessive compulsive disorde | "I was prescribed this medication when I was 14 for OCD and panic attacks. During my time on it I took between 150 and 200 mg and had a very negative reaction. The medicine made me unbearably tired, so much so that I experienced visual hallucinations due to such extreme exhausting. Also, I now have major gaps in my memory from that time. I think Luvox can be effective, but be careful with it, especially if you're young and/or very small (I was less than 100 pounds at the time so you can imagine how I'd react to a dose like that). It got rid of many of my anxiety and OCD symptoms, but at what cost? By far the strongest SSRI I have ever taken. Tread carefully." | 2 | July 26, 2017 | 12 | 128 |
128,840 | Phentermine | weight loss | "Update: Been on phentermine for one month-lost 11 pounds. Reduced sugar intake drastically, drinking only water. Continuing exercising 3-4 times a week. Wish I could lose faster but slow but steady is working." | 10 | September 5, 2014 | 47 | 33 |
109,146 | Nexplanon | birth control | "After reading reviews I was extremely scared to try Nexplanon.. but I am so glad I took the chance. The insertion process was easy but the bruise did last 4 weeks after. I am someone who suffers from unbalanced hormones (had no idea until after insertion) and because of that I have anxiety, depression, and also other problems. After Nexplanon I felt very balanced out.. My anxiety went down so much and I wasn't as depressed. Its amazing how much hormones affect our moods! I am so glad I decided to try this out and I don't think I'll ever go back to taking pills. I do get bad headaches sometimes, but my period weirdly came on time but it was just really light spotting. other than that, I recommend trying it out because everyone is different." | 9 | March 26, 2017 | 3 | 137 |
230,922 | Milnacipran | ibromyalgia | "Savella was awesome for my chronic back pain. Unfortunately the side effects were too serious. My blood pressure sky rocketed to 160/110, my resting heart rate sky rocketed to 136, and my estradiol levels plummeted to that of a postmenopausal woman (I'm only 37 with no history of early menopause). I experienced hot flashes that would have me dripping in sweat with absolutely no physical exertion whatsoever. If it weren't for side effects I'd love to take it. I sincerely hope there are people out there who can take this and not experience the side effects, because it was like a miracle for the pain." | 1 | May 15, 2012 | 27 | 105 |
193,803 | Hydrocodone | pain | "Hello all. I am a chronic pain sufferer, and am allergic to most pain medications. Zohydro 40mg er works wonders for me. I take it twice per day, with one 10mg hydrocodone for breakthrough pain relief. My situation is so serious, that at times, I've wanted to die. The pain is just that bad, but now I'm getting relief~ it sort if let's levels it off, and my ability to function without the constant thought of hurting is greater. It's an absolute pain reliever." | 10 | October 12, 2016 | 28 | 84 |
182,199 | Clomipramine | obsessive compulsive disorde | "I was first prescribed this medicine for severe/major depression at around eighteen-years-old. I had tried various forms of psychotherapy and nothing had worked; over the course of a year the depression had worsened to the point where I could no longer function. 50mg of Clomipramine transformed my life after about ten days. It has been, for me a life-saving medicine. The side-effects are sometimes bothersome, but to this day it regulates my mood almost perfectly and I can live a full life. Highly recommended." | 10 | June 28, 2013 | 48 | 84 |
220,052 | Amitriptyline | irritable bowel syndrome | "Before starting this most mornings I always felt sick to my stomach and whenever I went out always had to make sure a bathroom was nearby. My doctor prescribed this to me at 5 MG a day to start slowly I got up to 10 MG a day and that is what I take now the only downside I've had with this pill is it makes me very tired for this reason I take it at night. We experimented with taking 10 MG one night then 5 MG the next it helped the tiredness but I was willing to deal with the tiredness in exchange for less pain I still have to stay away from foods that make me sick and it doesn't take away all pain but has helped tremendously and I'm very grateful for it." | 9 | April 26, 2016 | 25 | 137 |
35,593 | Buprenorphine / naloxone | opiate dependence | "I have been on and off suboxone for years from taking pain pills for bad neck pain and headaches. I was doing great for a few months until my doctor prescribed me Zubsolv 2 months ago. I noticed immediately I felt withdrawal symptoms and shortly afterwards I stated having stomach problems. I gradually became deathly ill and have been in and out of the ER 3 times with all kinds of GI problems along with a feeling of gas pains all over from my feet, head to my hands. Bad headache, trouble breathing, blurred vision, cannot think clearly, depression and so on. I think there is something else in Zubsolv that is doing this as I have racked my brain with how this all started. I have episodes of delirium and feel like I'm not going to make it." | 1 | July 8, 2017 | 6 | 139 |
191,915 | Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol | birth control | "Hi, I'm 24 years old, healthy, and known for my fitness regime. I've been taking Yaz for three weeks now and it is horrible. I have a history of mental health issues and this medicine made me severely depressed and suicidal. I lost all interest in my activities and it is hard for me to talk to people anymore. I also gained a little weight, got hives, and regularly have stomach pains now. I'm not sure if I should continue with this medicine. I'm going to talk to my doctor. But, I know medicine doesn't necessarily work the same for everyone, so I wanted to share my experience. Talk to your doctor about the risks before taking Yaz." | 2 | February 12, 2017 | 5 | 118 |
165,943 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I spent the 2 weeks leading up to my insertion reading all the reviews on here and freaked myself out so bad I almost cancelled. I'm glad I didn't because this appointment was a piece of cake! Before going, I was told to take 600 mg of ibuprofen.The insertion took all of 30 seconds and was done on day 2 of my period. It was just a quick pinch. The entire time spent in the stirrups was maybe 5 min and that's because the Dr said I have a 6cm uterus which is smaller than average. Nothing hurt. It was just uncomfortable. I would rate my discomfort a 4 or 5. I had no cramps after. It's day 2 and I've still only had light bleeding. The only reason I gave the review a 9 is because I was told not to use tampons for 2 months...I hate pads." | 9 | February 25, 2017 | 5 | 149 |
121,394 | Venlafaxine | anxiety | "This medicine is horrible! I'm an average 20 year old that doesn't drink, smoke or do drugs. I've had anxiety since HS, and only recently realized it. I thought a "magic" pill would make my anxiety disappear, boy was I wrong. My doc prescribed me to take the 37.5 mg dose for like 5 days, then get a refill for 75 mg. The 75 mg gave me bad headaches everyday. I let her know and she prescribed me just to take the 37.5 mg, and stressed to never miss a dose. I followed what she said and I felt OK on the 37.5 mg until I started to notice hair thinning and loss! I have a head full of thick hair, never experienced hair loss in my life! The doc lied said it's just the anxiety. Lies! I weaned myself off after 3 months, withdrawals are the worst." | 1 | February 22, 2016 | 3 | 148 |
70,899 | Magnesium citrate | constipation | "When going through chemotherapy many patients experince constipation. After trying every pill laxative I found magnesium citrate and boom it become a regular thing to do the week after chemo. Fast forward a couple years I had my boobs reduced, this time the anesthesia completely blocked me. Its not enough that my boobs look like they had a fight with Freddie Krueger but I can't use the bathroom! But of course I used magnesium citrate and again, problem solved." | 9 | July 12, 2015 | 40 | 79 |
232,220 | Paroxetine | anxiety and stress | "I took the lowest dose 10mg. The first two days were great I had zero anxiety and felt okay with no side effects but slight lightheadedness. The third day... I was putting on my make up just before work and all of the sudden my pupils got huge and my heart started beating a mile a minute. This calmed down but happened again five minutes later. It started happening every 3-5 minutes and then my chest, feet, and armpits started burning. I started having a panic attack because I was so afraid of what was happening. I couldn't see right anymore and I was very dizzy. On the way to the hospital I thought I was going to die. My side effects were so severe. This happened for two days after. Doc flushed it out of my system. Beware of this medication" | 1 | November 22, 2015 | 27 | 142 |
221,538 | Makena | premature lab | "I had my first baby at 30 weeks. When I got pregnant the second time, my doctor recommended the Makena shots that I took weekly for about three months. Yet, I still gave birth at 30 weeks as my first pregnancy. It did not work for me . The shots were painful and so expensive, Prime Specialty Pharmacy was billing the insurance company about $3500 for each 4 shots " shipment they call it". I personally would not recommend it. Had I known what I know now, I would have left it in god's hand." | 1 | May 16, 2017 | 7 | 95 |
37,249 | Vyvanse | adhd | "It worked wonderfully in my case! I've had learning difficulties and anorexia since the second grade. Forty or so years the disorder has been binge/purging with laxatives. Cutting myself when my weight ballooned. In January 2016 my primary care giver placed me on Vyvance. It was wonderful. I would wake up and food was not the first thing on my mind! I was able to focus on meal planning and my life felt like it had order! I could finish a task and not skip around. Unfortunately my doctor was more concerned about my weight than my being able to focus so she took me off the medicine that has help me more than anything I've ever taken!" | 10 | June 27, 2016 | 31 | 118 |
5,292 | Cryselle | birth control | "I've been on Cryselle for 2.5 months now. I've had acne all my life and had finally gotten it under control before starting Cryselle. It's out of control again. Additionally, I've had some serious anxiety/depression/mood swings. I cry all the time and have irrational obsessive/anxious thoughts. The benefits definitely did not outweigh the costs. My GYN is switching my prescription." | 1 | July 8, 2016 | 8 | 60 |
56,520 | Humira | crohn's disease | "I have been on Humira for over 1 year. I was originally on Entocort and Pentasa and it wasn't helping. My doctor suggested moving to Humira rather than more pills. I started feeling better just a few days after the initial dose. The injections do hurt, but for only about 10 seconds. Way better then being in constant pain! I was a little concerned about all the warnings, but I figure I am going to die someday so I might as well feel good. I have not had any side effects. I am so grateful for Humira!" | 10 | December 20, 2010 | 105 | 97 |

Fingers crossed guys and good luck to all of you trying to stick to sobriety." | 10 | October 13, 2015 | 125 | 72 |
86,113 | Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate | bowel preparation | "By far the best way to have a bowel preparation. Goodbye full gallon!!! Yeak!
We've come a long way but the flavour is still difficult to swallow. It took me several hours. First bottle at 6pm, second at midnight. Almost done, almost clear. Hope to be sleeping pretty soon. The insurance didn't cover it but was worth the money." | 9 | June 29, 2015 | 10 | 59 |
155,319 | Metronidazole | diverticulitis | "Seems effective. Second use with diverticulitis. Both times combined with Cipro. Had some side effects but not sure which medication they came from. Plus the diverticulitis itself causes gas, bloating, diarrhea, headache, nausea so how do you know what was meds and what was the illness? I experienced urine discoloration-slight rusty tone.
I can say that the taste of the Flagyl pill is horrible. Also, after starting the meds I became over sensitive to smells and everything I ate or drank, even water, tasted disgusting. (Not so bad as I'm not supposed to be eating foods). I found that if I swallow the Flagyl with a sip of a smoothie (from supermarket) it slips down easy with no sticking and no bad taste." | 9 | October 7, 2015 | 59 | 123 |
141,564 | Escitalopram | trichotillomania | "This my third day on escitalopram for trichotillomania and anxiety. The first two days were rough, I had horrible mood swings, nausea, and loss of appetite. But today(the third day) I felt like a normal person after so long and I'm glad I'm starting to see somewhat of a result so soon. Although I still had loss of appetite and trouble sleeping I'm starting to feel better and I love it." | 9 | May 24, 2013 | 8 | 71 |

162,024 | Opcon-A | eye redness/itching | "I suffer from year round allergies. My eyes itch and water often. I have noticed these drops do help but after a few seconds of applying the drops in my eyes I have a stinging/burning sensation. I would not recommend this to children if this is a common side effect. The pain does subside after a minute or two. I continue to use the drops because they do seem to help. I just have to wait out the initial pain." | 8 | July 21, 2016 | 5 | 80 |
200,988 | Zoloft | panic disorde | "This is my 3rd time being on this med. For me it runs it course after a few years and I have to get on a different med. I am highly sensitive to meds of this type. This is day 4 of being on it again. Very low dose of 25 mg. I am to be on this for 6 days and then suppose to bump up to 50 mg. Just don't think I will bump up this soon. This med has been truly a lifesaver once again for me. I had been under high stress for a month and a half and it just kept getting worse. Went back to dr and I asked him to put me back on Zoloft, generic version. He agreed. Very thankful for this med. Not quite back to my old self yet but very close. Minor side effects that I tolerate well. Please give this a try. This drug has been around for many years." | 9 | September 9, 2017 | 14 | 162 |

My Dr. said she wont remove until after month 3, she said the first couple months are your body adjusting to it. Cool. But I haven't had a 'real' period but Sept & Oct I have been spotting for at least 2 1/2 weeks. First time, was OK I get it.. adjusting. This time I'm just over it. I'll wait another month to see if it gets better, I have a friend who said by her 4th month everything was 'normal' but I get everyone is different. Or maybe I shouldn't complain and just get used to spotting every day for the rest of my life :|" | 3 | November 1, 2016 | 5 | 127 |
146,193 | Suboxone | opiate dependence | "I had it all. Everything people dream of was mine but I lost it all when I started doing Roxy's. Once was all it took for me to take many oxycodone 30s as I could get my hands on for 3 years. I tried to stop by myself, went to rehab, meetings, counseling, everything. During these 3 years I went from being a loving daughter, sister and friend to a monster. I have been on Suboxone since 4/20/11 and that was the day my life changed. I feel like a normal person again. There is a price to my happiness though I have headaches, am tired very often and experience extreme constipation from the Suboxone. If that's all I have to go through to be the person I am now than that's fine. Suboxone literally saved my life." | 9 | September 26, 2011 | 18 | 138 |

38,674 | Liletta | birth control | "Had Liletta IUD placed in January 2016 after a miscarriage. It was put in right after having my DNC which was preformed under general anesthesia so I had no pain at insertion. Fast forward to March and I had 6 different infections due to the IUD. I am a very healthy and active individual so this was beyond horrible due to the pain. I underwent 8 rounds of antibiotics and 2 rocephin shots before they all cleared up. I have kept a constant UTI since it was placed, I had never had a UTI in my life before it was placed. I have begged my Dr to take it out since March and finally have an appt to remove it in a few weeks. This has been a very horrible experience for me and my husband. I would not recommend it to anyone." | 1 | August 14, 2016 | 5 | 143 |
48,613 | Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel | birth control | "After I took lutera, within an hour I would feel a rush of fatigue and want to sleep. I would end up taking two, three hour long naps- which threw off my sleep cycle. My breasts hurt, and I was extremely aggressive during my month on this pill. Toward the end I started spotting the 4th day of the third week, and I am on the 3rd day of my period week- and so far I have been spotting for 7 days. My acne got worse, when this was supposed to help. I did not experience bleeding at first. Wouldn't recommend this pill. I am switching to Yaz." | 4 | June 24, 2017 | 2 | 108 |

I was taking Latuda before Geodon and it caused me to have panic attacks, and bad thoughts. So far it has been a miracle medicine! God has answered my prayers!

I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (runs in my family) and I sleep with a CPAP machine which helps, but I was still tired and felt cloudy and unable to focus during the day. I started taking Nuvigil and it has really helped. I am prescribed to 250mg but I take the half dose. When I first started taking Nuvigil, I had awful headaches and sometimes I felt jittery. Nuvigil kept me up at night for the first few weeks but my body adjusted. I take it around 8am. I feel alert and am able to focus better in school. I only get a headache if I skipped a few days and they are not as bad." | 8 | April 25, 2012 | 19 | 132 |

Only problem is when I don't take it (I try not to use pain meds too much) I get really sick. Maybe its withdrawal. That part isn't fun. But after 3 days or so of not taking it, I'm back to normal" | 10 | August 8, 2015 | 51 | 72 |

219,383 | Dexmethylphenidate | adhd | "I'm 17 now. Been taking the medicine for maybe 3-4 years now. Honestly, it's fantastic in what it does. Better concentration, less impulsive, able to actually sit down and work, more control over my mood/emotions and its worth repeating Less Impulsive. But please know that because of this I also weigh 129lbs. I'm 6 feet tall. This completly kills my appetite. I've gone full 24 days without any real meal and hate it. I hate feeling my stomach in pain and feeling weak because I have nothing to fuel me but still my mouth stays dry and eating food becomes so non-instinctive that I have to force myself to go through the motions of chewing and swallowing. When off it, appetite is fine. Great medicine, please be aware of the effects possible." | 8 | April 9, 2015 | 53 | 132 |
218,637 | Colesevelam | diabetes, type 2 | "I have been taking Welchol for a month. Out of the 3 years I have been testing my blood sugar, my fasting blood sugar has been the highest in the morning (I follow a strict low carb diet). I have normal numbers during the day, but when I wake up, it is anywhere from 10-30 points higher. Eating different bedtime snacks, eliminating bedtime snacks, changing Metformin time; nothing made any difference. Since Welchol, my fasting my is almost always the same as when I go to bed. The only negative side effect is heartburn if not taken with food. I prefer it before bed to lower my fasting, but I might have to change it to dinner time.

167,376 | Levonorgestrel | emergency contraception | "So I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on the 19th. We did it and he pulled out but he's not very experienced with doing that so I was scared that he did get some in me. Less than an hour later we went to target and bought the pill and I took it about 30 minutes later. I felt fine the first couple days then on the 27th I began feeling really sick like I was going to throw up anything I ate I also began having slight cramps and pain in my right ovary. I was freaking out mostly because I needed to pee more often even though I was drinking anything really and I heard that was a sign of early pregnancy. But yesterday (30th) I started having period-like cramps and behold I got my period today, it's about a week early but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" | 9 | March 29, 2016 | 21 | 147 |
74,503 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "I love this! This is my first form of birth control and I have only been on it for about two and a half weeks, but I have to say that, so far, its great. I usuallly get terrible cramps, pains, nausea, etc. on my period; when I started using this on the first day of my period this month, it all went away. This was my first time NOT throwing up during my period, and I stopped getting those terrible cramps. Even my bloating went away. Plus, for some reason, since I started using this b.c., my occasional pimples have disappeared and stopped showing up. It's all really great and I feel so much better after taking this!! The only problem (though it's really not a big deal) is that I may have put on a pound since I started using it." | 9 | November 1, 2009 | 11 | 143 |
212,359 | Lamotrigine | seizure prevention | "I've been taking Lamictal for 7 months for seizures. It was prescribed by the Neurologist. One month after I started taking Lamictal, I suffered a stroke with an epilepsy attack. From day one, I told my doctor about all the stomach ache from taking Lamictal. She did not stop or changed the medication and now after having a biopsy to the stomach, it was found to be caused by Lamictal. I try to tell the doctor but she refuses to accept that Lamictal was causing my stomach aches. Lamictal is the only medication I am taking." | 1 | December 10, 2009 | 67 | 96 |
51,322 | Azithromycin | chlamydia infection | "second time having chlamdiya, I hate the side affects after you take the treatment tablets. I had to take 4 at the same time, 2-3hrs later I started to feel sick and I had diarrhoea. Personally the best thing to do is try to fall asleep when you feel sick because once you throw up that's it, your going to have to go back to the client and do this all over again.
I'm never having unprotected sex till I get married, I can't go through this again
( I'm from the UK so the treatment was free)" | 9 | August 4, 2015 | 5 | 98 |
26,675 | Sprintec | 1</span> users found this comment helpful. | "I've been taking Sprintec for exactly two weeks. I have had absolutely no symptoms. There has been no break through bleeding, nausea, headaches. I've been breaking out a little more than normal since I started Sprintec but that could also be due to stress. I take it around 7:00 pm or so, right around when I eat, this may be why I have been able to avoid any nausea, so I recommend taking it with something to eat. When it comes to effectiveness, I can't comment yet until I finish the pack, but I'm sure taking it regularly will make it effective." | 8 | April 12, 2011 | 1 | 102 |
