93,298 | Vortioxetine | depression | "I have been on several anxiety/depression medications over the last 30 years and always had some kind of side effect. I would either get an allergic reaction or it would make my anxiety worse.
Finally tried Brintellix 10 mg. two months ago, and I feel great, I have had no side effects what so ever. I just feel normal. I rarely take Xanax now and can go to sleep and usually sleep thru the night.
I am still taking free samples from my doctor as my Insurance company will not cover. I have sent in an appeal for them to reconsider..my fingers are crossed" | 10 | June 2, 2015 | 95 | 104 |
91,188 | Botox | overactive bladde | "I agreed to a Botox injection to treat frequent urination when all other treatments failed. Since the Botox injection I have the urge to urinate almost all the time. When I can pass small amounts of urine the pressure is often still present and urgency sometimes returns in as little as 20 minutes. Sometimes I cannot pass any urine. Even when I can pass urine, about 150 to 200 cc remains in the bladder and I have to use catheters. I have to stay close to a restroom all the time. I was told the Botox would wear off after a year but here I am about a year after the Botox injection and I'm still using catheters to empty my bladder as often as needed. There has not been any noticeable change. I'm beginning to think that my bladder functions will never return to at least as good as before the Botox injections. What a huge mistake. What a gullible victim I've been." | 1 | August 25, 2015 | 61 | 164 |
151,781 | Chantix | smoking cessation | "I smoked for 45 years. For the last 25 years 2 packs a day. My health was horrible. I have now been smoke free for 8 weeks! After only a few days you will notice a positive change. The coughing, the mucus, the continual feeling of about to get sick, all but went away! I, as others have found if you have trouble sleeping or feeling sick when you switch to 2mg a day cut them in half and take half at a time through the day. Also take the last pill earlier in the evening. Chantix is truly a life saver! The dreams are fine as long as you keep positive about it and realize THEY are JUST dreams. The trade off is so worth it!" | 10 | October 11, 2013 | 26 | 127 |
72,409 | Tramadol | ibromyalgia | "I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 13 years ago. One of the first medications I was put on was Ultram. I am so happy that it has helped so many Fibromyalgia patients, however, I found very little relief with it for my Fibro symptoms. I wish it had helped me because I had to be put on a stronger pain medicine and it's hard to get off of. I am concerned for those who said that they do notice headaches on this medicine. Seems to be quite a few. " | 2 | October 15, 2010 | 17 | 89 |
172,104 | Amitiza | 23</span> users found this comment helpful. | "I have only been takeing this for a week now but WOW. It works so good. It took 4 days to start it's action. It was like I was normal again. I am 31 and have had constipation my whole life. Higher fiber has got me through until a partial blockage and intestinal damage 2 months ago. Now with Amitiza I feel less bloated and a movement everyday on one pill in the morning. I feel so good! A little chest tightness but it gives me no nausea yet. This is a great medicine." | 10 | October 14, 2012 | 23 | 94 |
78,173 | Zyprexa | depression | "After taking the 2.5 dosage for 4 days I feel very irritable. I am experiencing crying spells, tiredness, extreme moodiness and just want to be alone. This medicine was prescribed for a mood disorder that I have been experiencing. I also take other anti-depressants. I don't think this is a good mix with other medicines or just not right for me." | 1 | October 29, 2011 | 53 | 61 |
44,584 | Meprobamate | anxiety | "Benzodiazepines, are way better. Valium or clonazepam have a VERY long half life.(last about 18-24hours) This medicines work great for me, for overall Anxiety. In my case Xanax is the only drug that helps with my Panic Attacks. It works the fastest. And that is very important, when you have a bad event, like Panic Attacks. Not Anxiety attacks, there is a big difference. Panic is a Event(Can last awhile).These can give you aftershocks after the initial event and initial dose of Xanax. Anxiety attacks don't last long, and are not near as bad. Panic Attacks can be up to 10 times worse, than anxiety attacks. No triggers needed for Panic, in my case. Anxiety attacks usually center around stress, difficult situations, etc." | 3 | November 10, 2013 | 6 | 123 |
66,405 | Valacyclovir | cold sores | "Yesterday at noon I noticed the bump and that soggy skin feeling. It was beyond the tingle stage and the white pistule was visible already. Found the valocyclovir in the medicine cabinet, and took the pills. I could see notable improvement by 6 hours after I took the first two. I will note that it did seem to give me a pretty bad headache, and I don't normally get headaches ever. It is now 30 hours after my initial dose, and 18 hours after the second 2 gram dose, and the sore is almost gone. Literally a miracle for me." | 10 | October 22, 2012 | 3 | 100 |
182,026 | Humalog KwikPen | diabetes, type 2 | "My insurance company changed to Humalog KwikPen; my short response - IT SUCKS!
The medicine works well, when I actually get it administered, but their crappy pen just does not work properly. I take 5 to 8 units a few times per day but the pen does not seem to develop enough pressure to push the med into my body." | 2 | October 28, 2016 | 2 | 60 |
121,719 | Venlafaxine | generalized anxiety disorde | "Effexor has changed my life. I have always had bad anxiety but it got out of control after a traumatic event 3 years ago. Finally decided I needed some help and was prescribed Effexor. I doubted it would help - I tried Lexapro a few years before and had awful panic attacks. I am so glad I was wrong and gave Effexor a chance! My anxiety has greatly decreased and I'm now able to function and think about things other than worries. I had some unexpected benefits too including reduced social anxiety, I'm more motivated, increased confidence, and a general feeling of happiness and well-being. No real negative side effects - I have lost about 15 pounds and I was a normal weight. I feel like this is how I should have been feeling all my life." | 10 | July 26, 2014 | 274 | 137 |
76,266 | Roflumilast | copd, maintenance | "Been on Daliresp since September 2011, no adverse side effects at all. I find that it has helped my breathing greatly. Have not had and exacerbation since going on medication. Prior to Daliresp had 2 to 3 flare ups yearly." | 10 | February 19, 2014 | 57 | 40 |

147,304 | Alprazolam | panic disorde | "This medicine has helped me so much. I suffer from severe panic attacks 3-4 times a day. I think I am dying all the time. Without this medicine I don't know what or where I would be." | 10 | July 17, 2012 | 63 | 37 |
182,361 | Mirena | birth control | "I was almost too afraid to go through with the insertion process after reading too much information about this method and product. I am so happy that I persevered. The insertionion was a little uncomfortable but it was over in a few seconds. Sex is wonderful and I do not feel it at all. I do not bleed at all and so far, almost one month, no side effects. I would recommend this birth control method to anyone. However, know your body and do what you feel is right for you.
" | 10 | April 11, 2011 | 8 | 92 |
124,474 | Skyla | birth control | "I am a recovering heroin addict, sober now for 4 months, and had I been prepared or well informed on this whole situation I may have waited. Anyways, I am 23, never had kids, 1 abortion...and a failed pregnancy.
Anyways. This was all my mom's idea, never really used bc pills because hormones made me nuts, the pain of the insertion was unbearable for me, and the ride home I felt I was going to vomit.
The pain is uncomfortable, I have not experienced menstrual cramps since maybe 5th grade. Not only that, my periods were always ridiculously irregular and for a good year I never even had a period. I am sweaty, cramping, and dizzy. I am hoping this will all be over soon, ibuprofen and Tylenol I don't believe ever works. Just got today." | 5 | August 3, 2015 | 1 | 136 |
16,273 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "I started college when I took these. But I've noticed weight gain. I thought it was the freshman 15 but its not... Also theres been a HUGE decrease in sex drive. Stopping these pills now... Oh and also... I NEVER get acne.. all of a sudden I'm breaking out in places I've never even got pimples. Lastly, I'm pretty sure my body is reacting to the medication because I've never had a yeast infection... but for some strange reason I've been experiencing discomfort. Read about this before you decide to take it." | 4 | March 14, 2016 | 3 | 92 |
99,782 | Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate | bowel preparation | "This was my 2nd colonoscope. Sureprep tasted better than 2 bottles of miralax and no nausea. However after fasting all day and caefully following the directions. Started first dose at 6 pm follow by 5 glasses of water. Still no BM. Took 2nd dose at MN followed by 5 more glasses of water. It hits at 1am. I was up all night going till my bottom was raw. My BM's were pure liquid. But still evacuating once I got to the hospital at 7:30 am. This was horrible. As I woke I felt bile all over my sheets and bottom. There attempted to clean me out during test but Sureprep DID NOT clean me out enough for the exam and I have to repeat do to failed clean out. No large abnomalities seen but no bx could bw obtained. Very reluctent for a reppeat.Ug" | 2 | September 3, 2016 | 13 | 144 |
205,135 | Acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine | migraine | "I have been dealing with migraines and hormonal headaches for over 20 years. I've tried all the prescription medications which did nothing to alleviate the pain and nausea which usually lasted for 4-5 days for me. Excedrin Migraine has significantly improved my quality of life. I was devastated when it went off the market for almost a year. I find the new ones an improvement. I am so thrilled however I'm concerned that I may be taking too many which may cause liver damage. I take on average about 2-4 daily." | 9 | February 17, 2013 | 22 | 91 |
73,629 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "On my 4th pack and have not experienced any problems other than once. I accidentally missed a pill one time starting my 2nd pack and followed the instructions at night (I always take my pills at 10pm) and the next morning I had what I assume would be similar to morning sickness which was awful. I had the most nausea the first month on the pill but after that it seemed to gradually decrease to the point where I hardly noticed it at all, if any at all. The first time I took the placebo, I got my period after at about the same time I do now regulated on the pill. I haven't used birth control before so I was not expecting to be regular on the pill this early, but that's amazing! Acne has cleared up too! Very happy!" | 9 | January 10, 2013 | 13 | 141 |
74,132 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "I've been on Lo Loestrin for 4 months. This pill is one of the best I've taken so far. No periods or crazy mood swings. Sex drive is normal. Only downside is that I have gained some weight and it's been hard to lose it while being on this pill. Second downside it's expensive, and my insurance doesn't cover it so its cost me 75$ per month. Overall, good experience on this pill." | 10 | June 19, 2011 | 40 | 73 |
11,486 | Pramipexole | restless legs syndrome | "This drug works for me but I noticed I need to take it in the day time to as it's made my RLS worse. I have it all day, every day now. The RLS is making my life absolutely miserable. I've actually been thinking my life isn't worth living like this. I've read that you have to keep upping the dose and I'm not sure if that means that when it wears off during the night or day will the symptoms get worse and worse accordingly. Right now I can't relax or rest one bit until I take the half a pill. I believe it also makes me so sleepy during the day I can't get myself out. I just want to go to sleep but can't because my legs won't stop jumping. I'm going to try and wean off and try something else. I also believe it's upset my stomach terribly." | 4 | July 19, 2017 | 8 | 152 |
142,618 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I've had kyleena for 2 months. I wish I had done it ages ago. Uncomfortable insert, but over with in minutes. Haven't had a single issue since. First period arrived on time and was light. Second period was just light discharge. No cramps, no pain. So happy with this decision." | 10 | August 19, 2017 | 3 | 50 |
225,309 | Bupropion | smoking cessation | "Day 6 for nicotine cessation after using for 20+ years in various forms. Did not have any desire for nicotine upon waking. The "habit" is still there, but no physical craving. The "habit" is easy to stop since your body isn't craving nicotine.
Tobacco doesn't really have any taste at this point. I don't seem to crave it....at all. I was agitated for about 30 minutes on day 4, but have not been since. No other noticeable physical signs or symptoms.
Taking the bupropion early in the day is important or you may have trouble getting to sleep later in the day.
After the final use of nicotine, 72 hours it should be out of my system. I plan to take the buproprion for 1-2 weeks after and start tapering at that time." | 10 | May 2, 2015 | 21 | 133 |
207,188 | Valtrex | herpes simplex, suppression | "I have been taking Valtrex as a suppression for 2 years right after my initial Hsv2 outbreak, which was THE WORST pain of my life, urinary retention, had to wear a catheter. I refuse to come off this drug because it scared the living heck out of me. I never want to go through that EVER again. Valtrex is my savior drug. My gyno put me on it right after the initial. Cleared me up fast and I have zero side effects (I literally don't even know I've taken the drug) I asked if I can stay on it, as I am more terrified of getting anything like my initial outbreak. Since I have been on Valtrex I have not had any outbreaks but 1 little sore per year will pop up.I even skip days sometimes, but if I do I have this constant itch. Keeps Hsv2 away." | 10 | February 10, 2017 | 28 | 148 |
178,683 | Victoza | diabetes, type 2 | "I have been a type 2 diabetic for 10 yrs now. I tried victoza in may 2016. As of today, Sept. 24th I have lost 45 pounds, I'm down to 1 metformin a day and my A1C is great!! The side effects are minimal. Mainly sour stomach but that can be controlled mostly by diet. Low starch foods help alot. I'm so glad after trying a few newer meds that I found victoza!!!" | 10 | September 25, 2016 | 68 | 73 |
167,161 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I thought I'd share my experience with the Mirena IDU. Im a 26 year old female in a committed 3 year relationship with my boyfriend. Throughout my lifetime before the Mirena I've had a history of depression and hormonal issues taking birth control. Since the age I was sexually active at 16 I tried every other the counter option: the ring, pills , patch, condoms even tried the diaphragm. On top of this I would have extremely painful periods in which I would lay around all day and take close to 12 Advil daily. One docter recommended the IUD, after 6 years thinking if I should get the IUD I finally did and it changed my life. No pain for periods and hormone wise I'm all set:)" | 10 | May 9, 2016 | 10 | 127 |
202,494 | Lithium | depression | "Have suffered with clinical depression for fifteen years and have been on numerous antidepressants. Have now been taking lithium for 9 months and have had a lot of problems including hands shaking, legs feeling as though they are going to give way a lot of the time, whole body feeling heavy, nausea, parts of my body suddenly jerking, sweating, but worst of all I feel as though I have had a personality transplant and do not recognize the agitated person I have become, the nightmares, my partner is very concerned. I am reducing the dose to come off it. I have just noticed on this site that it has a high interaction risk if taken with venlafaxine which I have been prescribed with it at the same time." | 1 | October 8, 2013 | 45 | 128 |
17,747 | Ethinyl estradiol / etonogestrel | birth control | "I've used the ring for about 2 months now, and it was the best alternative for a forgetful person like myself. I was on the pill before, but I had to stop using it because I'd often forget. Putting the ring in at first will feel a little weird, but once you put it in deep enough, you wont feel a thing. Plus, it wouldn't slide out! The only con I have is that after I take out the ring on the end of the 3rd week, my cramps from period seem to be more painful." | 9 | August 8, 2015 | 4 | 96 |
36,045 | Efinaconazole | onychomycosis, toenail | "Big toes had separation for 30 years..in the summer wearing sandals it slightly improved but 1/3 of my nails were not connected to the nailbed. Always self conscious, if I wore polish it got worse and turned black. Started Jublia 10 months ago...with great results. I file the nail and cut it as short as posible. I use a dental pick to scrape any gunk from under my nail. I wait 15 minutes after my shower to make sure my nails are dry so the med wicks into the nail. I also put it on before bed so I use it twice a day. I haven't used polish but my nails look fantastic. I have insurance and pay $50 for 3 months...I would gladly pay more because my nails have never looked this good. I'm anxious to find out if I can ever do without it." | 10 | November 17, 2015 | 8 | 146 |
116,858 | Lamictal | bipolar disorde | "I've suffered with Bipolar II for roughly 7 years, after two suicide attempts, months of insomnia, and horrible manic events, I finally found a doctor who knew what he was talking about! In combination with Prozac, I have started my titration of Lamictal. I tried Zyprexa and gained 20 pounds in a month. With Lamictal, I've lost that and more. I hardly feel hungry. I have faith that once my dose is increased I won't have as many depressed days. So far so good!" | 9 | April 19, 2013 | 79 | 84 |
171,442 | Wellbutrin | depression | "Didn't work. I was given on top of Remeron. It helps in away. But I needed some energy boost.
Hoping Wellbutrin would work.
All my anxiety and sucidal thoughts all hit me like a truck.
Had to discontinue taking." | 1 | November 2, 2014 | 54 | 39 |
95,176 | Guanfacine | adhd | "I'm 22 years old, and I was recently diagnosed with ADHD. I didn't originally want to take meds to help manage it because I was unaware that there were non-stimulant options available to treat ADHD. It's helped me focus a little bit more and slowed things down for me, so I can handle situations a little bit better. Aside from the cotton mouth, the worst things are the nausea and the slight sleeplessness. I can't seem to sleep through the night anymore. The nausea is mostly just inconvenient, since I can't seem to eat as much as I was, though I'm always hungry, and drinking alcohol while taking them is hit and miss, since sometimes, I can drink for hours and other times it's 2 drinks and I feel like I'm going to puke." | 8 | December 28, 2015 | 13 | 134 |
71,679 | Tramadol | anxiety | "I had breast reduction surgery so I was prescribed tramadol for pain it didn't do much for pain at all but really cleared my head up and helped me get through the day. After I ran out I talked to my doctor we tried other anxiety meds before she agreed to prescribe tramadol, so I've been taking it for 4 months now 100mg a day and last Saturday I ran out and don't get a refill till April. The withdrawal is insanely bad I feel like I'm sick I can't lay still, falling asleep is a nightmare, I feel angered, no energy, I don't know what to do but I'm thinking to stop taking tramadol I can't go through the withdrawals again:/ some people say there is no withdrawal symptoms but I think it's for people who take it couple of times a week." | 10 | March 27, 2017 | 29 | 144 |
217,008 | Oxcarbazepine | seizures | "Although this medication did decrease my daughters absence seizures, if she took this at any time 30 min before or after eating, she had a severe reaction. Her throat would burn inside and out, her face would flush, she would get dizzy and unable to focus. This would last about 5-10 min. and then she would get so tired, she would instantly fall asleep and sleep for hours. She was at a pretty high dose during this time 1050mg 2x daily. We finally stopped this medication, because of the stress of having to watch so closely when she ate and when she could take this medication." | 2 | October 4, 2016 | 3 | 106 |
94,662 | Abilify | depression | "I've been suffering with dibilitating depression, anxiety, and OCD for over 20 years. I've was in remission for 8 years, but this time it came back with a vengeance! I was really losing hope. I have tried every single antidep out there, and the ones that worked very well before, don't work anymore. I've been on a roller coaster and fighting for over 7 years to get my life back. It's been a living hell. I could hardly get out of bed, taking a shower was too much, even putting my seatbelt on seemed like a chore. If you have ever suffered, you know what I'm talking about! I was put on Abilify to help with my Effexor just three days ago and I already feel like I can conquer the world...I just pray it lasts! " | 9 | January 10, 2016 | 146 | 137 |
26,760 | Sprintec | birth control | "I have been on Sprintec for about 4 months now..the first month exactly a week before my period I caught a yeast infection, which I had never had before. Every month after that I had a yeast infection exactly one week before my period. Sprintec did help calm my severe cramps but I can't stand these yeast infections. Then I caught a UTI and now I am experiencing vaginal discomfort, which is noted as a direct side effect of Sprintec. I am stopping Sprintec immediately. My doctor keeps telling me that birth contol pills don't really have side effects but I never had any of theses before taking it and I have taken millions of tests and everything is negative! It's Sprintec, especially after reading all of these comments." | 2 | March 21, 2010 | 25 | 129 |
46,873 | Xenical | obesity | "On my second lot now, first time I took them I was 16 which is young but at the time I was 23 stone, so was a risk worth taking. I lost a stone a month for 6 months then as the doctor predicted my body became semi immune to them, but I was also cheating a lot then. I've started them again, started at 19 stone this time. (Stopped my exercising and healthy eating, my own fault), but in the first month this time lost 1 stone 4 lb. Xenical is a wonderful drug, but you really must make the effort with it, eat healthy, exercise and the drug really will take care of the rest, best thing since sliced bread." | 10 | October 4, 2010 | 83 | 122 |
137,571 | Ocular lubricant | dry eye disease | "I purchased Systane Ultra by Alcon a couple of days ago. It did not help my dry and red eyes. I made my eyes itch worse than ever, they were really red too. It might have something to do with the preservative used, I don't know for sure. I went back to using Oculac by Alcon instead, it seems it has the same manufacturer but it is cheaper and a little thinner." | 1 | January 19, 2017 | 4 | 72 |
228,424 | Butrans | pain | "I have had pain from 2 ruptured discs and spondylolesthesis for the past 9 years. I used to be very athletic (running, lifting weights, yoga, biking, etc.) and I had to give all of that up. That would be have been ok if it had relieved the pain, but it didn't. I've spent the last 9 years on Hydrocodone, Tramadol, Flexeril, and others. I had given up on having any quality of life. That was until I found Butrans. I have been on it for about a month, and for the first time in as long as I can remember, my back does not hurt. I am sleeping through the night. I do not feel drugged out (like Vicodin) and have no side effects. Not one. This medicine is a miracle." | 10 | September 7, 2011 | 190 | 131 |
71,801 | Tramadol | pain | "I have been given this medicine on and off for the past several years. I have Crohns and Colitis and it is given for the pain and spasms that happen at any given time. It has done nothing but upset my stomach and cause stomach ulcers. Doctors are unwilling to prescribe anything else as none of them are good for working to maintain a healthy gut. However, it does it make it hard for me to be able to live and work with the pain so I end up in the hospital more than I would like." | 1 | September 7, 2016 | 17 | 97 |
179,258 | Olanzapine | schizoaffective disorde | "I am currently on Zyprexa, it's a miracle since it took the voices and hallucinations away. Life is good in that sense but it's given me acne and I am gaining weight, like alot. I also have no emotions not happy sad or any at all. I am a zombie these days but no other drug has taken the voices away so I think I will stay on it for a while." | 6 | March 9, 2016 | 6 | 72 |
218,176 | Amoxicillin / clavulanate | bacterial infection | "I started augmentin 1gm twice/day 5 days ago (Wed. Sep. 9th) to treat inflammation in tooth root. the stomach problems started by day 4. Today (day 5) was really bad: headache, stomach pain, pain in my joints and my whole body. I also had a loose stool from day 1. I called my doctor explained the situation and he said I can stop taking it, a minimum of 4 days should suffice. So I took 9 out of a course of 14 tablets. I hope I'll get rid of my whole-body pain and stomach problems soon. So overall experience with augmentin: bad" | 2 | September 12, 2016 | 14 | 102 |
139,141 | Phentermine | weight loss | "I have used this pill off and on for the past 9 years. I have to say it's the BEST pill for losing weight and the ONLY thing that has ever worked for me. I gain at least 60-70 pounds with each pregnancy, so each time I have a child, I have a MASSIVE amount of weight to lose, and each time I take the pill, I go right back down to my size 4 within 4-5 months ( no exercise). My tips, after taking it so long are the following: ALWAYS take way before breakfast--take the first thing in the morning, and if you really want to get results, don't eat any carbs for breakfast. NEVER go from taking one a day to stopping, because you WILL gain it back. You must wean yourself off SLOWLY and you'll be fine. " | 10 | October 19, 2008 | 796 | 142 |
166,072 | Levonorgestrel | emergency contraception | "I had unprotected sex two days before my period ended and he came in me. I still took the pill a day later out of precaution even though I was on my period. It is two days after I took the pill and there is so much pain I cannot express. I restarted my period completely even though I was off my period for only a day. I'm drained of energy and having severe cramps and muscle aches. I really hope this is a sign I am not pregnant." | 5 | January 26, 2017 | 0 | 89 |
207,053 | Emollients | dry skin | "My grandson had a severe diaper rash. Well his boom boom was severely irritated from him having watery bowel movements for months. I would clear it up n it would come back. Soon as i applied it he was all smiles n back to being busy. Prior my daughter read the can rather than Googling its uses. I came in from work laid my grandson down n told her to hold his arms while i applied the bag balm. It's like he knew what it was going to do No scratching no grabbing at his secret area. This stuff is a true life saver. So whoever made the recommendation God Bless you." | 8 | March 10, 2015 | 3 | 112 |
153,490 | Doxycycline | acne | "I'm 20 years old now and I started this medicine a little over a year ago. This was my first oral medication I tried for treating my acne. I suffered from it for about 10 years I'd say. I would get really large cysts on my chin, and recently also on my forehead, and some on my cheeks. During my time of taking it I DID see results. I can say my acne did get a lot better than before because my huge cysts would come in only once in awhile. However during this past summer I decided to reduce the dose (before 100mg twice a day) to completely stopping taking the medication to see how my skin would fair... and it got WORSE. Was back on it again, and now got prescribed minocycline. Hope this works out! Doxy was great, but lost its effectiveness." | 7 | December 18, 2013 | 7 | 145 |
46,624 | Gleevec | gastrointestinal stromal tum | "I am taking Gleevec after surgery, to remove 15ccmm tumor. It has been 7 months and I am tumor free. The main side effects of taking Gleevec has been abdominal bloating with pain, at times severe. I am able to handle the side effects for the most part, but when it becomes too much, I just reduce my dose for a few days until I feel better, normally or for two days a week. I was on Gleevec for 5 months prior to surgery. It didn't reduce the tumor, but it stop its growth and reduced the density considerably." | 8 | May 14, 2013 | 36 | 99 |
221,503 | Makena | premature lab | "I gave birth to my son at exactly 34 weeks because my water broke at 33 weeks. I had early contractions with him and he spent a while in NICU. I got pregnant with my daughter when my son was just 7 weeks and got the Makena injection from 16 weeks until 33 weeks and ended up having my daughter at 37 weeks. It definitely helps. Technically it doesnt help with preterm water breakage, but it does help with preterm contractions and early labor. The shot doesn't hurt when is injected but hurts for a couple days afterwards sometimes, make sure you tell the nurse or doctor to alternate hips. Good luck ladies" | 10 | September 13, 2016 | 11 | 113 |
46,662 | Gleevec | chronic myelogenous leukemia | "I have been on Gleevec for about 5 1/2 years. It has completely controlled my CML; my oncologist says that there isn't any sign of cancer now. I have had complete remission. I had just about all side effects the first month I was on this medicine, but they all stopped. This is truly my miracle drug, a gift from GOD. I recently had my quarterly check up, and my doctor told me there had been follow up studies done, and the people that came off Gleevec, had the CML return, so I guess that means you're on it for life. The only downside is the cost, but thank God for my job and insurance, because it is covered. I guess other than that it is no different than taking insulin for life, except the cost." | 10 | March 13, 2009 | 56 | 136 |

The many different bc pills didn't help with that. I have bled 3 ish weeks out of the month for the past few years and nuvaring is our (mine and my gyno's) last effort before taking out my uterus (I'm 26).

There's a long list of side effects which may seem scary at first, my only side effect was minor dry skin which was curable with a good moisturizer. I completed my treatment in January 2013 and this is now October 2014 and I am still acne free, longest period in my life ever to not have acne.

It has killed my sex drive (I’m 18), caused dryness, made my boobs smaller, and worst of all worsened my depression which has negatively affected my relationship as if the others weren’t enough. The only reason I gave it 1 rating is because I haven’t gotten pregnant.

Within 15 mins, I finished the bottle and immediately felt nauseous. An hour later I threw up like it wasn't anyone's business! 3 hours into it, I decided to use fleet liquid glycerin which helped my pass the "plug". I then went 3 hours with nothing. For the past 2 hours, I've rushed to the throne and have made it rain! I'm talking massive explosions and I know there's still more. I've probably lost 5lbs thus far, no lie!

16,434 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | polycystic ovary syndrome | "My gynecologist put me on this for PCOS. I took it for two years. My periods are few, random and unpredictable. I didn't have regular bleeding at all. I had one or two periods a year on it. The periods were much less uncomfortable, and my PMS symptoms were a lower severity.
Didn't help with my high insulin which is my big problem. Didn't help with my ridiculously bad adult acne big problem. It went back to before. For a short period, I think it decreased my acne by 10%. The only pro I can think of is that it dealt with my higher risk for developing endometrial cancer due to lining buildup from unopposed estrogen.
If I miss a dose here or there, I have awful mood swings.
I'm going to a new gynecologist because I need better management of my PCOS." | 3 | January 20, 2016 | 2 | 143 |

I've done everything to get it off. I have always eaten healthy and I work out regularly. I cannot get off of it because then my anxiety will come back. My doctor recommends I go to a dietitian to help me with this problem. I was also on Lexapro for a year before this and it made me gain weight as well. All I want is for an anxiety medicine.

I am not getting my period regularly , they are very light, even though I never really have had heavy periods before. No pregnancy. I don't think it has helped with my acne at all, but I did gain some weight (5-7 pounds or so) so far I am happy with it, but my insurance is starting to cover Junel Fe, not sure if I'm going to start taking it or not, after reading some reviews I'm nervous about it." | 8 | September 23, 2015 | 0 | 139 |

Only side effects I had was dry mouth and constipation. But me only going to the bathroom every few hours, less pain, and not waking up at night was worth it to me.

After taking the pill I experienced some depression, apathy and was sleepy for the next 4-5 days to the point where I would sleep for 13 hours and still feel tired. 5 days after taking the pill I experienced light spotting. I also felt nauseous from time to time 2-3 weeks after. Got my period 6 days late. Was totally freaking out before that so did home pregnancy tests and went to see my GP. He said it's normal to have delayed menstruation or even skip a month after taking the pill. Do a home pregnancy test if you're anxious.They are 99% accurate if taken 3 weeks after last unprotected sex." | 10 | April 7, 2015 | 1 | 142 |

74,229 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "Overall, the reason that I am switching from Loestrin24Fe is because my body needs different levels of progestin (lower) and estrogen (higher). This was the first birth control pill that I had ever taken and I had many problems with irregular bleeding (which in turn lead to severe anemia). Other minor side effects were some mood swings the first month, and I did gain weight in my breasts during the 3 months I was on Loestrin. I didn't have any problems with nausea outside the first week, which maybe could be attributed to other factors. It was also very expensive ($87.00/mo with no insurance).
I would recommend this medication for some women, but it may not work for everyone." | 4 | January 3, 2011 | 1 | 119 |
190,177 | Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo | birth control | "This is an awful birth control. I was switched to it because my last birth control was very low dose and mainly for my acne, not pregnancy prevention. I am a gym junkie and eat super healthy but still gained so much weight on my hips and stomach. I was so exhausted I would fall asleep driving, and take daily naps - I have never been like that and have always had lots of energy. My face exploded with acne which hasn't happened to me in years. Not to mention I spotted every week before my period. Sometimes two weeks before. Overall this has done me no good. Do not recommend at all." | 1 | August 10, 2017 | 1 | 113 |

I stop taking this medication because I could not function at my place of employment not to mention the short term memory loss & loosing my hair was crazy. I truly think that so many people get caught up with being able to stay so thin that they keep taking it. I took 50mg morning and 50mg @ night. Not worth it." | 1 | July 12, 2016 | 19 | 132 |

I take one at sleep time, another when I wake up, take another if it is still early in morning when I wake up again. Sometimes I take 4 in a night. So I take from 2 to 4 each night, which works well.

Talking to my doctor made me realize I was not the only man suffering from this at this age. Viagra was prescribed. I use the 50 mg. and am now able to have great sex again and maintain a great erection. Side effects - hot, flushed skin, a little blurry vision - for a short while - worth the benefits. If taken at night by the next morning it still has an effect - with stimulation you can again enjoy again! My wife was amazed at how hard and long lasting erections are. We totally enjoy using Viagra and our sex life is back!" | 10 | January 3, 2016 | 70 | 123 |
85,085 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "I just finished my third pack of pills. Although I was skeptical about putting hormones into my body on a daily basis, this medication has worked out for me. I started it mainly because I was tired of the constant worries I have as i am very sexually active. Since starting the medication I have received the benefits of lighter/shorter/less painful periods, larger breasts, clearer skin, and no baby scares! I have also had the added benefit of slower facial hair growth (yay for less tweezing and waxing!). For myself, the negatives that come with this drug are the feelings of a slower metabolism/bloating (although I haven't gained weight), and huge decrease in my sex drive which I actually prefer because now I play it coy in dating ;)" | 8 | November 19, 2015 | 14 | 129 |

I had all the side effects like tension headaches, stomach issues, and weight loss. However, I would take that and clearer skin over my psoriasis. I've had psoriasis for 24 years now and I have tried everything from steroid creams, UV, and biologic injections. I thought Otezla was the best!

I was taking Zofran which did help but thanks to Diclegis I was able to start eating more, the nausea went away and I gained 5 pounds in 2 weeks. I take Zofran throughout the day and 1-2 Diclegis at night because of the drowsiness, but this medicine is a definitely a life saver for me." | 10 | August 23, 2016 | 1 | 93 |
168,394 | Monistat 7 | vaginal yeast infection | "I've been having chronic yeast infections, for about 5 months up until about a month or so ago; took and used (using right now), the Monistat 7. Maybe just me, but I've had yeast infection stings, burns, etc. worse than the cream, it's honestly not THAT bad. Still extremely curious on what's in it and what it does inside of you." | 4 | November 16, 2017 | 0 | 61 |
191,182 | Miconazole / zinc oxide | diaper rash | "I used it on my 92 year old mother after it cured my 2 year old daughter. It is the best ever. Dried up the worst c. dif. rash ever in about three days. Other step therapy medications failed. The problem with the insurance says they do not approve it because the components of this ointment are available over the counter. Vusion however combines these OTC tropicals in a vehicle that cures at the most remarkable speed. I had to pay $444. for one tube but it started to dry up mom's fungal within two days then healed the skin. Miracle topical. Used it for about a week." | 10 | July 3, 2015 | 3 | 108 |
158,673 | Methylphenidate | adhd | "Ritalin made me able to block out everything and focus on reading my boring, tedious nursing books. Take it at least 12 hours before you go to sleep, or else it will keep you up at night with thoughts racing. It suppresses appetite and makes most people lose weight- I actually gained weight because I would be starving and binge eat at the end of the night. I did like Ritalin, but it made me too irritable so I switched to Adderall. That is much more pleasant and even more effective. Focalin 10 mg is good for people with mild ADHD symptoms.

76,082 | Lo / Ovral-28 | birth control | "Before I got on the pill, my cramps used to be horrible. I started the pill a year ago and haven't had any cramps since. I love it and don't plan on getting off until I'm ready to have kids." | 9 | October 13, 2008 | 9 | 40 |
