61,031 | Focalin | adhd | "I have taken a number of ADHD medications starting around 6th or 7th grade to help with school. I tried Vyvanse, Concerta, Ritalin, and Focalin. Focalin by far has been my favorite. When on Focalin I could crank out work and was very effective. While many people complain about the lack of hunger you feel, this was almost a plus to me because it gave me one less thing to distract me. The only negative that I experienced was sometimes feeling detached, lonely, or on the verge of tears. They were not severe but did occur. I still loved this brand the most of all of the brands I had tried but unfortunately, our insurance stopped covering Focalin and I switched back to Ritalin which is where I am at now." | 9 | January 30, 2016 | 23 | 131 |
140,299 | Asenapine | bipolar disorde | "I was diagnosed 5 years ago with bipolar disorder. I was very wary of taking the protocol drugs including lithium. I was prescribed a boat load of all the usual drugs but had terrible side effects. I have been very happy on Lamictal and Celexa for the past several years but have problems with anxiety, edginess, racing thoughts and sleep. My doctor prescribed Saphris for me a week ago. I am amazed at how great I feel. Like others here, I finally am able to sleep. I also almost immediately felt better. My brain actually has slowed down. For me, it does cause very bad dry mouth and trouble swallowing which I counter with Evoxac. Otherwise, I finally feel great!" | 9 | December 2, 2010 | 24 | 120 |
222,409 | Kyleena | birth control | "I just got the kyleena this Monday it was 9/18/17 and so far it has been horrible I am very crampy in the morning time but not bleeding I am also sick which is not good not too sure if I should call the doctor or not about this because I am not bleeding but very crampy in the morning. The cramps are so intense I can barely sit down or even lay down it's that bad I have to stand up the whole time I just hope the cramps go away. When they put the kyleena in me it hurt at first and then I started to cramp I laid down for a couple mins and then I was fine but ever since then I've been getting cramps in the morning around 11-2 it's horrible I rate it a 5 because how horrible it is for me right now but I hope it gets better." | 5 | September 22, 2017 | 1 | 156 |
196,870 | Paroxetine | anxiety | "* Reminder, everyone's experience is different and you won't know how this medication works for you until you try it.*
I'm 18 and used to suffer from severe social and general anxiety, and mild depression. I've had a bad past with antidepressants but I decided to try Paxil (20mg) because I was desperate. My anxiety is 95% gone, I'm wanting to be more social, and I'm happy all of the time! I don't worry anymore and it's amazing. There are some side effects (which were terrible the first week but reduced with time); headaches, reduced libido, tiredness, smaller apetite {I'm thankful for this one}, and insomnia.
Paxil works amazing for my anxiety and I'm so happy I tried it. I'm making new friends and I think I'll secure a job soon :)." | 9 | June 4, 2016 | 64 | 132 |
213,002 | Tizanidine | muscle spasm | "I was prescribed this medicine for severe neck spasms which keep me up at night. I also have chronic insomnia. My initial dose is 4 mg at bedtime, 2 mg during the day as needed. I have been taking it for 2 weeks. Last night was the last dose I'll ever take! While it does seem to relax my neck, I am up every couple hours to urinate, then my throat is so dry, I have to drink more water. Because of the insomnia, it takes forever just to get back to sleep. No sooner do I manage that, then I have to get up to pee AGAIN. " | 2 | August 19, 2010 | 18 | 109 |
202,875 | Gildess Fe 1 / 20 | birth control | "We moved to a new air base and the horrible doctors here refuse to let me have my Minastrin 24 Fe that I was on for TWO YEARS. Those two years were spent on cloud 9 compared to the 7 months on this garbage. On Minastrin I lost 45 pounds, clear skin like never before, good sex drive, not an emotional hurricane, and never got car sick. In 7 months alone on gildess I gained 25 pounds and counting(even with a healthy lifestyle), suffering depression and anxiety, NO sex drive, periods are HORRID, face has exploded more than going through puberty and I am 21, and taking this makes me sick. It's a good thing my husband and I don't want a baby because with the weight gain, break outs and no sex drive-it won't happen while taking this trash pill." | 1 | July 17, 2016 | 4 | 141 |
21,305 | Sunitinib | renal cell carcinoma | "I am here to tell you 2 years after having my left kidney removed I am stable, and have been on Sutent since February 2009. I am the Cheryl that commented December of 2009. I am still grateful to the makers of Sutent. I am now on 37.5 instead of the initial 50mg and it is more tolerable. I have been stable for the last 6 months. I have one tiny nodule left in my liver. I started with 14 nodules in the lungs and 3 in the liver. " | 10 | November 4, 2010 | 89 | 90 |
217,251 | Clarithromycin | upper respiratory tract infection | "Every side effect listed was experienced by me to the point that I could not sleep. The horrid taste in my mouth, joint pain, backache, nausea, severe headache and urinary hesitation. Avoid this medication." | 3 | September 10, 2016 | 6 | 34 |
106,981 | Implanon | birth control | "Only giving it a 3 because I didn't get pregnant on it. Other wise hurt like crazy to put in bled non stop for the first year and a half (seriously). I gained 50 pounds. Couldn't loose weight even on strict diet and exercise. I 100% lost my sex drive. It would hurt where the implant was. Had acne in place I didn't know you could get it. Very expensive to get removed with out insurance. Got it removed a week and a half ago and worst pain and discomfort during removal and Im STILL bruised. Wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy." | 3 | October 25, 2013 | 7 | 102 |
161,134 | Risperidone | autism | "My son became aggressive when he hit puberty (age 11), so the psychiatrist put him on this. For the first 2 months I was happy with the results. But his aggression started increasing, and he became extremely aggressive over the next year. His psychiatrist attributed it to rising male hormones and kept increasing the dosage, until my son was on 8 mg/day. I finally had to have my son hospitalized, as he was a danger to me and others. I was fed up, so I changed psychiatrists. She prescribed Abilify, but it took weeks to wean my son off the Risperdal. However, once he was off it, he became the lovely boy he used to be. Every child is different, so keep that in mind!" | 2 | June 29, 2011 | 133 | 125 |
44,391 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "I have been taking Tri-nessa for more than a year, and I can easily say it is a good fit for me. I have regular, lighter periods, clear skin, and it hasn't made me gain any extra weight. I take them at the same time every day and have never missed a pill. " | 9 | August 14, 2010 | 22 | 54 |
224,210 | Levothyroxine | underactive thyroid | "I have been on synthroid for approx 10 years. Here are several points that I have learned:
1. You may initially start feeling better in a couple weeks but It takes MONTHS to see the full effects.
2. Depending on your TSH levels, your Dr should start you at a low dosage and gradually increase as needed. Starting with too high of a dosage is shock to your body and will even make you feel more tired as your body is working overtime.
3. See a Physician who is very familiar with thyroid issues. If you are not seeing positive results with family Dr. see an Endocrinologist! Many of the negative comments I have read may be a result of your Dr not understanding this disorder.
4. There are alternatives if this medicine is not working." | 6 | May 24, 2017 | 74 | 136 |
109,959 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I've had this for a little over two years now. Right away my mood swings were awful but I didn't bleed which was great. Occasionally I have pain in my arm where it is located. My periods happen about every 6 months and it wasn't until January that my period lasted for almost 3 months with horrible cramps. I plan on taking it out soon. I would say the only good thing is I have not been pregnant. I would not recommend this or any birth control (besides condoms) in the future." | 5 | June 6, 2016 | 0 | 92 |
144,070 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I got mine inserted on 1/29/16 and I love it. My doctor told me before that for about the first 90 days I would experience different side effects because my body just needed to get used to the hormones. Since the insertion I had 3 periods lasting around 1 week each. I had random spotting a couple times and then it stopped at the end of May. I did have stomach pain every single time I ate for 2 weeks around the time the bleeding and spotting stopped so I think that was just my body finally regulating itself. The only thing I have noticed is that my hair falls out more but it grows faster than it has ever grown before but so does my body hair. Before, I would shave and be smooth for a day or 2 but now I feel stubble after a few hours" | 10 | July 7, 2016 | 7 | 149 |
23,707 | Chlorzoxazone | muscle spasm | "1984-1988 had migraine headaches that seemed to part my head with symptoms being only on one side of my head, such as running nose, watering eye, one blood shot eye and one temple throbbing. Lasted for many hours and would re-appear in minutes or hours. After taking Parafon Forte three time, I haven't had a headache since." | 10 | April 22, 2012 | 41 | 57 |
211,256 | Pancrelipase | chronic pancreatitis | "This year of 2016 I have spent two stays in hospital with severe stomach pain, I lost two stone in weight as the normal day to day food of meats, veg and snacks caused the pain to increase. In September I was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis, my consultant then prescribed Creon. For me I have suffered no side effects, only complete relief from the horrendous pain pancreatitis causes. I have now gained weight as I can once again enjoy meats, but I do trim the fat of steaks and chops. I also take senna alongside Creon as this helps keep my bowel movement to almost normal. I very rarely get those nasty smelly floating stools as I have got my dosage just right. Taking Creon has given me back my previous life." | 9 | December 4, 2016 | 13 | 132 |
72,912 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "I was prescribed this birth control b/c of my ovary cyst. I've had unprotected sex after the birth control & I've not gotten my period. I'm actually a week late. Not really worried b/c I took a pregnancy test at the hospital 4 days before my period was due & it came out negative. A lot of reviews says they never got their period so that gives me hope. Besides that my breast have grew & are very sore. & I have bad acne. On top of that, I've been eating A LOT. I haven't spotted but have had unusual brown discharge. Symptoms are really weird." | 6 | June 13, 2015 | 12 | 106 |
51,359 | Azithromycin | chlamydia infection | "I have taken this medication about 3 times 4 250mg (1000mg total) all at once and every time its the same side effects feeling hot extremely nauseous and very bad stomach pain although its a very uncomfortable feeling the medication is very effective the uncomfortable feeling last close to about 2 hours and then gradually the pain goes away besides the pain. It's a great medication good luck." | 10 | December 11, 2014 | 21 | 68 |
198,694 | Depo-Provera | birth control | "Worst experience. My daughter was just 10 months old. I took first shot on January 9 and was supposed to take another one in March.
As soon as I took the shot my periods became irregular. I went to my GP she said it's very common and it will continue and will stop after few days. I had periods for more than 30 days. I started to react very weird in those days. A few days later I felt some changes in my taste and then my husband asked me to do preg. Check. I was shocked to see the results. I never wanted to have a baby so soon. I was depressed and used to cry a lot. It was the worst time of my life.I Finally decided to continue with the pregnancy. My daughter is now 3 yrs and my son 1.5 yrs old. I won't recommend at all. I don't want anyone else to suffer" | 1 | April 25, 2017 | 3 | 158 |
107,465 | Implanon | birth control | "I have had the Implanon for almost a year and I love it. I do have random periods and have gone a few months with no period and then have had 4 periods in the last two months, and every once in a while I have spotting, so the bleeding is pretty random. It was important to me to not be on a birth control that makes your bones brittle, so I am extremely happy with the Implanon. I have had no side effects besides the random periods. My sex drive is the exact same, I haven't fluctuated in weight, no mood swings, no change in acne. I am extremely pleased with it and would recommend it to anyone." | 10 | June 23, 2011 | 0 | 119 |
40,087 | Contrave | obesity | "I have been on Contrave for two months and two weeks and lost 20 lbs. Of equal value is that my HbA1c is down to 6.5. Most of the side effects have abated in about six weeks. The only lingering side effect is night time hypoglycemia. I would recomend at least a trial of six weeks, do not evaluate side effects after only a week or two." | 10 | April 23, 2015 | 46 | 67 |
108,557 | Bupropion / naltrexone | obesity | "Am mid-way into my 2nd week and wanted to report preliminary results. I am a comfort/stress eater who gained 70 pounds in 2 years. No side effects, other than being tired at the end of the day (which is not a reported side effect, so maybe from change in diet). I am still hungry, but it is easier to turn away from night-time snacks. I was able to turn away from my children's Halloween candy, which was a first. I didn't want a cafe con leche this morning (sweet/milk) - which is my constant craving. I've had modest weight loss, which I started about 2 weeks prior to the Contrave, for a total of 15 pounds in just under 4 weeks. Starting weight 201, 5'5" female, mid 40's. Time will tell, so far so good." | 10 | November 9, 2014 | 162 | 135 |
3,508 | Nitrofurantoin | urinary tract infection | "I'm I day 6 of this medication. It's pretty good at clearing up the UTI, but it does have some side affects; I've had pain on my left lower stomach towards pelvis for many days off and on. It feels almost like cramps! I also have had a tingling tounge and possible thrush (though hopefully not-symptom haven't progressed). I can't take a lot of abx so I'm thankful that this has worked, but looking forward to being DONE." | 9 | August 24, 2015 | 5 | 78 |
213,124 | Nuvigil | shift work sleep disorde | "I work two full-time jobs in Information Technology on a high level at both jobs. I have to be razor sharp or the effects could be catastrophic. I have been using Nuvigil for almost 16 months.
When I was younger I was diagnosed with ADD and took Ritalin which helped but as I got older taking that was not realistic.
Nuvigil has been a godsend. I am able to articulate my thoughts clearly, finish tasks at hand efficiently and timely, and also having ADD with Nuvigil it almost propels me in some weird microcosm of being smarter than 90% of the people around me. I am not sure how or why but that is my story and I gain nothing from this except hoping to help someone else who is lost in the woods " | 10 | April 8, 2017 | 18 | 135 |
42,371 | Atenolol | supraventricular tachycardia | "I have been on 25mg daily for 8 years and have not had a single episode. Heart rate is 68-72 bpm. Missed a dose once and became very sick with high blood pressure 186/107. Need to consult with physician to stop taking it. I'm on this for life so no worries." | 10 | July 5, 2011 | 18 | 51 |
165,995 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I agree it was painful and I too have experienced unpredictable spotting for the past 3 weeks. I have also experienced a lot of cramping and some mood swings. Thank goodness for a patient boyfriend! I plan to tough it out for the 3 month timeline the brochure discusses though. I'll update this later on." | 5 | February 5, 2017 | 5 | 55 |
181,484 | Prozac | anxiety and stress | "I've been taking Prozac since I was thirteen years old or so. I'm sixteen now, and I'm worried that if I ever stop, I'll get bad again. I have severe anxiety and had depression. The depression has gone away, but the anxiety has worsened. Not from this medication, but I believe I need a larger dose. Anyways, this drug has helped me and made me feel like it can get better. Knowing the chemistry in my brain is really helpful too, to know that serotonin is being released. I would recommend for severe depression, but not anxiety unless at a larger dose. I'm on 40mg now, but took 20mg up until a month ago." | 8 | July 7, 2015 | 39 | 114 |
16,631 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "I switched from Safyral to Microgestin. After reading the horrible reviews of this pill, I literally cried.I wanted to share my GOOD experience with taking Microgestin over the past ~2 months. I have noticed no spike in appetite, except around the week before my period and at times while I'm on my period, which is not unusual for me. I have not noticed any extreme bloating, and I've experienced little to no nausea. I have no cramps, no spotting, and my period is now extremely light, to the point where I forget I have it at times. I only experienced one patch of skin on my face that became almost unnoticeably darker, but it faded in a week. I exercise daily, eat reasonably, and I have not gained weight. THIS PILL IS NOT BAD IN MY EXPERIENCE" | 9 | October 27, 2015 | 13 | 137 |
209,766 | Lupron Depot | uterine fibroids | "I was bleeding 24/7 and anemic due to a large fibroid. First I tried Depo Provera shots, which didn't work. All bleeding stopped about a week and a half after my first Lupron shot. At this point, it's only been a month, so I don't know if I'll still need a hysterectomy. " | 10 | January 25, 2012 | 39 | 53 |
171,456 | Wellbutrin | depression | "Hi, I'm 18 years old.. I started taking Wellbutrin 3 months ago when my Psychiatrist put me on. I looked up reviews up in here, and recommended I should be prescribed. Anyway, the first couple months are horrible but don't give up! 1 month ago all my problems with Prozac were alleviated my focus was 10X better (I also have ADHD so my grades skyrocketed)! And my depression died..yes DIED, I laugh so much now people at my school ask me why I laugh so much it's refreshing actually. Anyway... Prozac gave me severe loss of libido (on a serious note) I'm 18 so it bothered me horribly that I had a low sex drive on Prozac after months on end of taking Prozac my libido became ED.... And I lived a fairly healthy life trust me. Wellbutrin fixed my problems" | 8 | December 22, 2015 | 58 | 141 |
204,192 | Cataflam | period pain | "Cataflam is a life saver but it takes about an hour after swallowing to start working. I take 2 at a 6 hr interval and can take up to six at the end of the day, but that's only for the first day of the period. " | 9 | July 17, 2013 | 13 | 47 |
78,346 | Lyza | birth control | "I had just about given up on ever thinking I could be on a hormonal form of contraception. I had tried two other forms of birth control in the past, the first being Yaz which was the WORST thing ever. I swore off birth control for years thinking my body just couldn't handle it. I recently went back to my OBGYN just to see if there were ANY other last resort options for pills. She recomended Lyza becuase its low hormones, and I was hesitant at first but gave it a go. I have been on Lyza for almost a month now, I have had almost no spotting, no mood swings, no headaches, no troubles with blood clots/wheezing, nothing like my other experiences! Thank you Lyza!!! You literally saved the day, and hopefully everything continues to be awesome!" | 10 | May 4, 2016 | 13 | 138 |
93,701 | Morphine | pain | "I am a self-employed landscaper who relies on my body to make an income. After taking many types of medicines for the chronic pain in my lower back MS Contin 60 mg has been by far the most effective. I have been able to work now on this medicine with very little side effect. What I like the most is only taking one pill every 12 hours. I can concentrate more on my life/work and less on the amount of pills I need in a day." | 10 | September 30, 2011 | 65 | 86 |
49,347 | Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel | birth control | "So I have been on the birth control for a month. The first 4 days I was so insanely nauseous. It would just hit at random times and be horrible. I've been having my period the entire time I've been taking it but just like a pantie liner a day is what I use. I haven't lost any sex drive. If anything it's increased! The medication overall seems great in writing but I have one concerning thing.. I'm having CRAZY mood swings. I cried the past couple nights for no reason at all and I just get super sad randomly. Or I'll just be super happy and then the next moment sad. I feel like I'm becoming depressed. But I'm just going to wait it out and hope it gets better." | 7 | February 6, 2016 | 5 | 131 |
147,850 | Norethindrone | birth control | "I've been on this for a week (which I know isn't a long time but hear me out lol). I have not really experienced negative side effects at all. I waited to start it on the first day of my period to ensure that I wasn't pregnant and my period went on and cleared up as normal and expected. MAYBE just a tiny bit of bloating at times. I went on the mini pill because my body can not process estrogen at all. Immediately, I get horrible mood dives, I get painful cramps in my legs and arms from the high cortisol estrogen was causing me. In fact, on this pill my mood seems to have taken a turn for the better, I have more energy to do things and feel more mentally stable! Don't be scared off by reviews or discouraged from finding, everyone's different" | 10 | June 5, 2017 | 9 | 146 |
70,370 | Zofran | nausea/vomiting | "I take this medicine for seviere morning sickness. I would have lost my job if it weren't for this medicine! It's the best! I only have good things to say about it! The only side effects I have are light headaches, anxiety at night sometimes, not often, and constipation but I will take any of those any day over having to be glued to the toilet and in bed for 3 or more months!" | 10 | September 23, 2009 | 15 | 74 |
140,605 | Escitalopram | anxiety | "I have been taking these since 2011- 2016. At first they helped decrease my panic attacks but it came with a price. The negative side effects were emptiness, fogginess, poor concentration, worsening social skills, apathy, constant worrying, mania. I was really unmotivated to do things, I didn't care about anything. I just wanted to workout and eat which also didn't make me happy. I didn't realize it was because of these pills until I started switching to zoloft.
Now I feel much better. Also I got frequently gastritis from them. Glad I'm off them, feel like they stole years from my life without me knowing. I didn't notice they caused all this probably because I was have so many panic attacks frequently when I started with them." | 2 | February 4, 2017 | 17 | 127 |
54,375 | Bupropion / naltrexone | obesity | "I was already taking Wellbutrin, so my doctor added naltrexone. At first I didn't lose weight, but I was using the pills as an excuse to eat some junk food. Now my appetite is way down, and after 2 months, I started losing. Before that, I was no longer obsessed with food, what a relief after 40 years of counting calories! Since July 28 I have lost 9 pounds, I walk a couple of times a week. I drink a high protein drink in the am, a lean cuisine and an apple, and something else small at dinner. I really am not interested in food anymore, it is wonderful." | 10 | November 2, 2017 | 0 | 109 |
189,404 | Oxycodone | pain | "I'm a little skeptical because I actually withdrew a little from MS-Contin (morphine) when I switched to Oxycontin. So far it is working but I hear Morphine is the more potent of the 2. MS-Contin stopped working after 3 or 4 months.So 5 days into this Oxycontin it seems to be helping. I'm staying hopeful." | 8 | July 16, 2012 | 50 | 55 |
195,293 | Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders | pain/feve | "New packaging sucks!! Have carpal tunnel. 4 surgeries. Always relied on your product for relief.
Now, have to find pair of scissors to open package. No more purchases from this fellow.
Shame, love the stuff. Beats Tylenol and others. Called "disgruntled" because I worked for Feds for 30+ years. "disgruntled federal employee..."
Retired... but still in pain." | 10 | December 7, 2016 | 3 | 57 |
114,525 | Cartia XT | high blood pressure | "Had high blood pressure episode of 200/120. A combination of acute stress, not enough exercise, pre-diabetic, dehydration, and not watching sodium intake. Moderately fit and no overweight. ER gave me metoprolol 100mg a day and developed an antagonistic/allergic reaction sending me back to the ER. Started on losartan 25mg for two days and BP didn't go down as expected. Stress test show normal everything except for borderline BP and rapid heart rate 112. Cardiologist put me in 120mg Cartia XT. Took a first dose last night, BP dropped 80/60 77 no symptoms, had water and feet up. Woke up with 100/70 82 laying down an 110/70 86 standing up. So far ringing of the ears, I hear my heart sounds and dry mouth. It's working so far. I will take it in the morning instead." | 10 | December 7, 2013 | 46 | 135 |
61,385 | Premarin | oophorectomy | "Had ophorectomy 8 years ago. On second week started to have terrible hot flashes, couldn't sleep any more. Doctor started me on all you can name before trying Premarin. Since Premarin got my life back. Several times again Doctor tried to decrease the dose and ween it, in order to complete stop. I went into deep depression crying all the time and back to nightmare again. So thanks to Premarin I'm a normal human being again. As a floor nurse on a cardiac floor have talked to several ladies in their seventies that still taking Premarin daily. My actual dose for years has being 0.65 mg daily." | 9 | August 28, 2011 | 70 | 107 |
169,656 | Amitriptyline | ibromyalgia | "This medicine made me so exhausted I would sleep at least 12 hours every night and I'd feel so tired all day I couldn't get anything done. And the two nights I couldn't take it when I was on it, I stayed up for over 24 hours with insomnia. It freaked me out that it would prevent me from sleeping if I didn't take it, so I got off of it quickly. It DID help some of the pain, but it wasn't worth it." | 3 | February 19, 2012 | 23 | 84 |
883 | Pentosan polysulfate sodium | interstitial cystitis | "For 4 years I was in and out of doctors offices explaining to them that I was having severe bladder pain (the kind that makes you nauseous, sweaty and feverish). Finally I went to this one doctor and told her I had symptoms of urinary tract infections 12 times in less than 6 months. I had tried changing my diet and nothing had helped. She put me on Elmiron 3, 100mg pills 3 times a day and within 2 weeks I could finally pee. It has been amazing, although I do suffer from frequent headaches (even when we have lowered the dose as low as 3 pills a week), and exhaustion (I had this before the Elmiron but it has been increased while on it). I still recommend trying it, it is better than nothing." | 10 | September 12, 2013 | 40 | 135 |

Happy things or sad things.. i couldn't control myself, i was never like this before. Another thing is that even when I'm not on my period i would get random cramps.

The Dr. told me that I had fluid behind my ear canal causing vertigo and that the med would help. I've taken it twice since last night. Its helping a lot. But, makes me withdrawn and very tired." | 6 | June 7, 2015 | 43 | 57 |

All having relative success with my moods, but loss of libido forced me to switch. Pristiq has been the best I have tried. Both my moods and anxiety have improved. Still less of a libido than without any medication, but better than any of the other antidepressants I have taken. I still have a faint libido, but now experience delayed orgasm. However, the quality of my moods has improved so much that I am more apt to accept this side effect." | 8 | October 19, 2009 | 21 | 102 |

My body seemed to just release whatever I ate via bowel movements. I was losing weight. It is hard in the beginning letting the meds get into your system, the dizziness, headaches, moodiness and nauseous feelings did occur with me. I just started back again yesterday. Although it is effective, getting passed the side effects is why I keep stopping." | 8 | May 3, 2016 | 27 | 87 |

74,035 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "In all honesty, this pill is the answer. I love everything about it. I have been on it for three months now and I have had no symptoms what-so-ever. There has been no weight gain, and it has only slightly changed the size of my breasts. I have had no mood swings or nausea. In the three months I have been on it, I take it every morning at 6, and it works great. The package that it comes in is perfect, it is small, easy to read, and comes with a tiny discrete black cloth pocket to hold the pack in. Perfect to throw in your purse if you are spending the night somewhere else. As well I have had no period, which was scary in the beginning, but my doctor assured me everything was fine and normal. I HIGHLY recommend this pill." | 10 | July 23, 2011 | 2 | 144 |
213,967 | Tioconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "I have frequent YI due to several rounds of antibiotics over the winter (i was sick often). I usually use the Monistat 1 with the ointment in the applicator, not the ovule. At this point I've done it enough to know to go to sleep immediately after inserting it. I've never experienced the burning and pain some have, just an uncomfortable itching sensation deep in my vagina. This is the first time I've used the ovule and while I didn't have any pain or itching, it did not work at all. A week later and my YI is still going strong. With the ointment, it usually clears up significantly by the next morning. Now I have to spend another $20 because this time was useless. I'll be using the pre filled ointment applicators from now on. NOT the ovule." | 2 | August 17, 2016 | 1 | 139 |

My Fibromyalgia pain has lessened so much I sometimes think it is to good to be true! My sister was diagnose with Polymyalgia Rheumatica at about the same time and was taking Predisone. She had no relief. I told her to have her primary doc to test the Fibro pressure points. Long story short, the doctor put her on Cymbalta and she felt relief within 1 week! Has finally been able to sleep better and lift her arms over her head. This medication has pretty much saved my life.

My childhood is filled with memories of regular migraines and nothing would touch them. I started taking Sumatriptan in 1994 and my life changed dramatically for the better.If taken at the first sign of a migraine it works brilliantly. I have taken regularly for 20 years ( usually 2-3 tabs per week depending on frequency of migraine).

226,167 | Remicade | psoriatic arthritis | "I had my first infusion last week and within 3 days, I can honestly say I have no pain for the first time in weeks. I didn't have any reactions or side effects except for feeling exhausted, but that maybe related to not being able to sleep for weeks prior, due to pain. I am so happy with the effectiveness and results I have had. I would definitely recommend it!" | 10 | September 29, 2013 | 22 | 70 |

I was sure there was going to be precum (didn't ejaculate inside her) and according the a period tracker app, her ovulation day was the 10th of March and we had unprotected sex March 11th the day after ovulation . I freaked out cuz I'm only 19 and we both aren't ready to be parents. So about 27 hours later I bought her a plan b and she took it. The only
Thing that sucks is the waiting part. She kept on getting symptoms of pregnancy which scared me even more. But the day her period was suppose to come, it came! I say plan b is effective, but to be sure always use a condom. Don't stress it!!" | 10 | March 26, 2017 | 2 | 144 |

I weighed in at 190.0 I am excited to see where I'll be in a week, but even more so in 30 day period after taking the full month prescription. Yesterday I was advised to take half and to do so for possibly up to a week til my body gets used to it, and I did feel a little jittery and I did have some trouble getting to sleep and staying to sleep, so I'm taking half again today, but overall, nothing too crazy.

27,998 | Lexapro | major depressive disorde | "I've been on many medications through the years, and this is the first one I've been on a medication that didn't make me drowsy, and had side effects I could tolerate. Having Major Depressive Disorder, PTSD, and Anxiety, but also having issues with psych medication side effects; I've been quite happy with this medication.
It takes the edge off my negative moods, and at times renders me ambivalent-- which is better than before considering my PTSD anxiety was driving me to suicidal inclinations. However, if you aren't dealing with severe depression and anxiety, I'd suggest something less intense. Also, my medicaid covered this medication, but many insurance companies wont, and the original price is naught to scoff at." | 8 | April 13, 2016 | 20 | 118 |

I had been having baby fever and he wasn't so the next morning we went to the pharmacy and I took the pill. Few weeks later I found out I was pregnant. I know the pregnancy was a result of that time and that the pill didn't work because that was the only time we had sex during that time frame.

I guess I didn't notice earlier but I started to get slight headaches and I didn't feel very well physically and mentally. It do help with my cramps and my period, not so much my acne but it's better. The worst part of orsythia has to be the mood swings and the sweating! I sweat a lot even if it's cold I'll start a light sweat, it's gross. But the mood swings are the worst I just started feeling this and it happened while I was talking to one of my friends I just blew up on him, for no reason. Then later on I started to feel really bad(mentally) and I cried for a while and I couldn't figure out why I was crying! I don't recommend!" | 2 | October 8, 2015 | 7 | 149 |

Lexapro made me feel the best but has the worst sexual side effects. Wellbutrin was my last hope and sadly it hasn't worked for me at all!! I see so many posts on here that says it is magical, which is great for many of you but so hard to believe. I still want to have sex but can't reach an orgasm the conventional way. I have lost all sexual sensation and that is so depressing because I never had issues in the past.

207,537 | Suprep Bowel Prep Kit | bowel preparation | "After reading reviews and prepping five years ago, I expected this to taste terrible. Held my nose while drinking / swallowing and it wasn't bad at all. Drinking that much liquid (including the water afterwards) left me feeling over-hydrated, slight headache, a bit bloated, but hey, you only need to do this once every several years.

I took this for 16 years but finally had to switch to keppra because of it becoming rare to find at pharmacies and having to skip doses and go without.

I was on it before (about 6 -7 yrs ago) and I gained weight, my hair fell out, etc etc. So this time around right after the first shot I bled (spotted) literally for 3 months straight. Every day. Also, I was very very moody (irritable) and my sex drive tanked. Really bad. I decided to take the second shot at the last minute and I can't be happier that I hung in there. I have not bled once since, my moods have stabilized and my sex drive is back! Also, I was worried that I would gain weight but believe it or not, I have lost a few lbs." | 9 | September 16, 2012 | 11 | 129 |

I've recently had my first round of Botox for wrinkles on the typical areas of forehead and eyes and after three days have noticed an incredible improvement in my reliance on my glasses. I generally have excellent vision but my eyes were constantly strained somehow and I could not function without the glasses. It's absolutely fantastic and should definitely be further investigated because just for this I am now hooked it is such a relief! Of course I am also extremely pleased about the aesthetic effect too." | 10 | December 18, 2016 | 0 | 98 |
192,262 | Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol | acne | "When I was 13 I had horrible acne and a little over weight. After I took Yasmin for a complete month my acne was just about completely gone and after a couple more months I even lost a few pounds!! I did experience anxiety, but from reading some reviews about Yasmin if you take a multivitamin your symptoms will go away including your sex drive problem caused by the pill. I haven't taken Yasmin for about a few weeks so that I could give my body a rest but I want my Yasmin back!" | 9 | January 5, 2016 | 10 | 94 |

Cat scan revealed a 11 mm stone. They went in with a scope and laser to blast it but as soon as they tried to open up my ureter with the balloon they realized too late it was as full of strictures and one split open. So they quickly inserted a J stent, left the stone there and pulled out. Now I am 4 weeks out waiting for my ureter to heal before my urologist decides what it needs to be done. During this time I have been on flomax and it has helped with the flow of my urine and helps the pain.

I used to not have any and now I get cystic pimples on the regular. For the first month it made me feel crazy because I was having mood swings but that got better.

Naturally, that also means that insurance companies don't want to cover it. If you're trying to get it covered and they're dragging their feet, don't give up! You have to jump through a lot of hoops and you have to fight every step of the way. Get your doctor to help you and talk to them. Do NOT give up. Insurance companies love to make it as difficult as possible for people to get effective meds. Don't let them do it." | 10 | April 28, 2017 | 12 | 130 |

It didnt so I bought monistat-7. I did exactly as the instructions said and waited to insert before bed. I layed down immediately after and instantly the itching was intensifying by the second. I had a burning sensation. I'm in tears rolling back and forth in bed. I took a shower and tried to push the rest out and it helped but it definitely didn't go away.

He hounded me about taking the meds they prescribed even though I felt the intuitive urge not to... As soon as I took one, about 30 minutes later came a cough episode from hell, with my throat closing up. Thought maybe it was cold air. Took another one. Same thing. This time chest tightness and burning. I went to another urgent care where they gave me a breathing treatment and a z pack for suspected bacterial bronchitis. I came home and told my man I think it was a side effect of the meds. He said let me take one, I've been coughing a little let's see if it works for me. 30 minutes later he had a migraine from hell and a fever.

It took about 3 weeks to take effect...and when it did...it was a Godsend for me. Almost total relief of joint pain and swelling. I have gone off of it before due to price...and suffered for it. I recently went off of it again...and sadly am paying for it royally. My joints are red, swollen, and very painful. I stopped taking it due to a jump from $60 a month with a coupon to $676 a month without a coupon. I am now pursuing it through the Limbrel website but it is a slow process. This is sad...it is such a fantastic drug...and for me it has zero side effects. I know there are so many more people out there that could benefit from it." | 10 | January 27, 2017 | 3 | 141 |
46,145 | Rabeprazole | erosive esophagitis | "I tried a number of over the counter medicines and Prevacid, but found no relief. After my 4th EGD I was prescribe Aciphex 20 mg 2 times a day. It worked. I can swallow, eat anything, and rarely get heart burn. I've been on it now for nearly 8 years." | 10 | May 14, 2012 | 9 | 50 |
137,765 | Enbrel | rheumatoid arthritis | "After about 7 months of weekly Enbel injections I began to experience severe psychological symptoms. I continued taking Enbrel for about five more months as my doctor didn't believe the symptoms were due to Enbrel. At this point we believed I was in remission and I was off treatment for several months. My side effects disappeared. When I had a flare up I was put back on Enbrel. The psychological side effects came back full force and many doctors saw that it was definitely a side effect of the medicine. Enbrel did wonderful things for my arthritis, but I can't take it again. My doctor has noted these symptoms in other patients." | 4 | September 6, 2013 | 46 | 112 |
164,716 | Librax | irritable bowel syndrome | "On third day started having hoarseness and cough , on and off. Became so bad have discontinued use. It did seem to calm my intestinal pain significantly. Still having hoarseness even after stopping." | 3 | August 5, 2015 | 18 | 33 |
191,642 | Lisdexamfetamine | adhd | "We switched on the advice of the then new ADHD therapist. It took longer to "kick in" and build up than other meds we tried but it has been a God send. His grades are WAY up and he's not as hot or cold as he used to be. My only issues are he won't eat while on it...not even a tiny bite. Dr is keeping an eye on the weight. Also, to me, he's not himself. I don't like the flatness because his personality is so big! At least it wears off!" | 9 | June 5, 2013 | 33 | 93 |
150,025 | Soma | muscle spasm | "I find that Soma helps calm my nerves down and helps with my
arthritis pain. I believe it lowers my blood pressure as well. Drinking can be very dangerous with this medication." | 9 | July 28, 2009 | 69 | 32 |
229,169 | Tadalafil | erectile dysfunction | "In the beginning of the relationship with my 40 year old boyfriend, we met nothing but trouble in the bedroom. We had sex about 3 times a month, and I was ALWAYS the one to have to initiate it (and there was never any guarantee that he was even going to get an erection or that it was going to last.) Then something changed. Suddenly he was the one starting the fire. Suddenly he would get ridiculously hard just from a little kissing. Suddenly we were having sex 4 or 5 times a week. Then one day I was cleaning and found a cleverly concealed pill bottle...yep, it was Cialis. I am going to send them a Christmas card until I die. I have never been more satisfied in my entire life." | 10 | January 8, 2013 | 96 | 132 |
30,061 | Klonopin | anxiety | "I went through severe panic and anxiety that debilitated my life. I experienced shakes, suicidal thoughts, fear for no reason, fast throbbing heart beat, no sleep for ten days because of fear my body was dying, 38lb weight loss in 1month, vomiting, foggy mind, couldn't speak, and so much more. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I visited hospitals over 6 times with no answers but the doctor telling me I'm crazy smh. Went through gastic procedures and nothing was found but gerd which is a symptom of anxiety. I finally broke down and took the meds prescribed to me. Xanax was the only one that worked for a short time, and I had taken many medications. Clonazepam is working amazing with no side effects. I feel great along with Zoloft." | 10 | July 14, 2015 | 52 | 133 |
